[0046] This application provides a door assembly and a clothing cleaning device using the door assembly. The door assembly provided in this application is used to open and close the inner cavity of the clothing cleaning device. The decorative parts in the door assembly are detachable and replaceable to meet the user's customization needs.

[0047] The clothing cleaning device provided in this application embodiment can be a top-loading washing machine, a front-loading washing machine, a washer-dryer combo, a mini washing machine, a twin-tub washing machine, or a wall-mounted washing machine, etc. The clothing cleaning device provided in this application embodiment is used to clean the items to be cleaned in its inner cavity. The door assembly can open and close the inner cavity of the clothing cleaning device so that the user can take out the items to be cleaned in the inner cavity or put the items to be cleaned into the inner cavity.

[0048] The door components provided in the embodiments of this application will be described below.

[0049] It should be noted that the first direction x in the following text is the x direction shown in the figure. Taking a drum washing machine as an example, the first direction x is the axis of the drum, which is also the depth direction of the drum, and can also be called the front and back direction of the drum washing machine.

[0050] The door assembly 100 provided in this application embodiment includes a door body 10 and a decorative element 20.

[0051] The door 10 is openable and closable on one side of the equipment body 200 in the first direction x, and the decorative part 20 is detachably disposed on the side of the door 10 opposite to the equipment body 200 in the first direction x.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the main body 200 has an inner cavity 201 with an opening. A door 10 is disposed on the main body 200 and has an open state and a closed state. In the open state, the inner cavity 201 is connected to the outside of the main body 200 through the opening. In the closed state, the door 10 closes the opening to isolate the inner cavity 201 of the main body 200 from the outside of the main body 200.

[0053] Thus, the inner cavity 201 of the main body 200 can be opened and closed through the door 10, so that the user can take out the item to be cleaned from the inner cavity 201 or put the item to be cleaned into the inner cavity 201.

[0054] The decorative element 20 is detachably disposed on the door body 10. The outer contour of the orthographic projection of the door body 10 in the first direction x is located inside the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the decorative element 20 in the first direction x, or the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the door body 10 in the first direction x coincides with the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the decorative element 20 in the first direction x.

[0055] The decorative element 20 is detachably disposed on the door body 10 so that the decorative element 20 can be installed on the door body 10 from the side away from the inner cavity 201 in the first direction x, and the decorative element 20 can be removed from the door body 10 from the side away from the inner cavity 201 in the first direction x.

[0056] In some embodiments, the decorative element 20 is detachably connected to the door body 10 via a snap fastener. In other embodiments, the decorative element 20 is magnetically connected to the door body 10.

[0057] The orthographic projection of the door body 10 in the first direction x is at least partially located inside the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the decorative element 20 in the first direction x. That is, in some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the door body 10 in the first direction x may be completely located inside the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the decorative element 20 in the first direction x. In other embodiments, only a portion of the orthographic projection of the door body 10 in the first direction x is located inside the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the decorative element 20 in the first direction x.

[0058] In some embodiments where only a portion of the orthographic projection of the door body 10 in the first direction x lies inside the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the decorative element 20 in the first direction x:

[0059] In one embodiment, the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the decorative element 20 in the first direction x is located outside the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the door body 10 in the first direction x. When viewing the door assembly 100 provided in this embodiment from the side of the decorative element 20 away from the door body 10, the decorative element 20 obscures the outer contour of the door body 10.

[0060] In another embodiment, the orthographic projection of the decorative element 20 in the first direction x coincides with the orthographic projection of the door body 10 in the first direction x. When viewing the door assembly 100 provided in this application embodiment from the side of the decorative element 20 away from the door body 10, the outer contour of the decorative element 20 coincides with the outer contour of the door body 10, so as to decorate the outer contour of the door body 10 through the decorative element 20 and improve the appearance.

[0061] The beneficial effects of the door assembly 100 provided in this application embodiment are as follows: Compared with the prior art, on the one hand, the decorative part 20 of the door assembly 100 provided in this application embodiment is detachably connected to the door body 10, which makes it convenient for the user to remove the decorative part 20 from the door body 10 for replacement, so that different decorative parts 20 can be installed on the door panel, so that the user can replace the decorative part 20 on the door body 10 according to the needs, and the door assembly 100 provided in this application embodiment can achieve appearance customization.

[0062] In some embodiments provided in this application, the decorative element 20 is magnetically connected to the door body 10.

[0063] Therefore, on the one hand, it reduces the difficulty of disassembling the decorative part 20 from the door body 10, making it easier to remove the decorative part 20 from the door body 10; on the other hand, the magnetic connection between the decorative part 20 and the door body 10 will not leave any visible fasteners or residue on the surface of the door body 10, thus maintaining the overall aesthetics of the door assembly 100.

[0064] In some embodiments provided in this application, the magnetic connection between the decorative element 20 and the door 10 generates an attraction force greater than the resistance to opening and closing the door 10.

[0065] Therefore, on the one hand, it ensures that the decorative part 20 does not loosen during use and operation, and ensures that the decorative part 20 is firmly connected to the door body 10. On the other hand, when the user opens and closes the door body 10 by pulling the decorative part 20, it prevents the decorative part 20 from falling off the door body 10, further improving the user experience.

[0066] In some embodiments provided in this application, the decorative element 20 is provided with a first magnetic element 21, and the door body 10 is provided with a second magnetic element 11, wherein the first magnetic element 21 and the second magnetic element 11 are attracted to each other.

[0067] At least one of the first magnetic element 21 and the second magnetic element 11 is a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. The first magnetic element 21 and the second magnetic element 11 can be arranged along the first direction x or partially staggered in a direction orthogonal to the first direction x. The first magnetic element 21 and the second magnetic element 11 can magnetically attract each other so that the decorative element 20 and the door body 10 are magnetically connected.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first magnetic element 21 is a ferromagnet or a ferrimagnet, and the second magnetic element 11 is a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.

[0069] In some other embodiments, the first magnetic element 21 is a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, the second magnetic element 11 is a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, and the magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 21 and the magnetic poles of the second magnetic element 11 are arranged in the same direction.

[0070] In other embodiments, a portion of the first magnetic element 21 is a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, a portion of the first magnetic element 21 is a ferromagnet or a ferrimagnet, a portion of the second magnetic element 11 is a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, and a portion of the second magnetic element 11 is a ferromagnet or a ferrimagnet.

[0071] It should be noted that the aforementioned ferromagnets are magnetic materials such as iron, cobalt, nickel and their alloys, and ferrites. The aforementioned permanent magnets can be metal / alloy permanent magnets such as AlNiCo and SamariumCo, or ferrite permanent magnets such as strontium or barium ferrite compounds. The aforementioned permanent magnets can also be rare earth permanent magnets such as Neodymium Iron Boron and Samarium Iron Nitrogen.

[0072] Ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic materials do not exhibit magnetism when not subjected to an external magnetic field. However, when subjected to a magnetic field generated by a permanent magnet or electromagnet, they are magnetized and develop strong magnetism, thus allowing the ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic materials to be magnetically attracted by the permanent magnet or electromagnet.

[0073] In some embodiments provided in this application, one of the first magnetic element 21 and the second magnetic element 11 includes a neodymium iron boron magnet or an electromagnet; the other of the first magnetic element 21 and the second magnetic element 11 includes an iron sheet. Neodymium iron boron magnets have extremely strong magnetism, ensuring that the magnetic connection between the decorative element 20 and the door body 10 generates a magnetic force far greater than the resistance to opening and closing the door body 10, thus preventing accidental detachment from the door body. If an electromagnet is used, a control module can be provided in the door assembly 100 or the clothing cleaning device to control the electromagnet to have sufficient magnetism to prevent detachment from the door body.

[0074] In some embodiments, the first magnetic element 21 is a neodymium iron boron magnet or an electromagnet, and the second magnetic element 11 is an iron sheet.

[0075] In other embodiments, the first magnetic element 21 is an iron sheet, and the second magnetic element 11 is a neodymium iron boron magnet or an electromagnet.

[0076] In some other embodiments provided in this application, the first magnetic element 21 is a neodymium iron boron magnet or an electromagnet, the second magnetic element 11 is a neodymium iron boron magnet or an electromagnet, and the magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 21 and the magnetic poles of the second magnetic element 11 are arranged in the same direction along the first direction x.

[0077] In some embodiments provided in this application, the neodymium iron boron magnet is an N52 neodymium iron boron magnet.

[0078] The maximum energy product (BH) of N52 neodymium iron boron magnets can reach 52 MGOe (9 kJ / m²).3 N52 neodymium iron boron magnets are among the grades with the highest magnetic energy product. The remanence (Br) of N52 neodymium iron boron magnets is ≥1.42T, which means they can generate a stronger magnetic field per unit volume compared to other grades of neodymium iron boron magnets.

[0079] Therefore, the first magnetic component 21 or the second magnetic component 11 is an N52 neodymium iron boron magnet, which can enhance the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic component 21 and the second magnetic component 11, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the decorative component 20 installed on the door body 10.

[0080] In some embodiments provided in this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the decorative element 20 covers at least the side of the door 10 away from the inner cavity 201, but does not cover the side of the door 10 facing the inner cavity 201, so as to enhance the visual effect of the door 10 when it is closed.

[0081] The decorative element 20 can be a complete structure, so that the decorative element 20 completely covers the surface of the door body 10 away from the inner cavity 201, or the decorative element 20 can be a hollow structure, so that the decorative element 20 covers the part of the surface of the door body 10 away from the inner cavity 201.

[0082] In other embodiments, the decorative element 20 at least covers the side of the door 10 facing the inner cavity 201, but does not cover the side of the door 10 away from the inner cavity 201, so as to enhance the visual effect of the door 10 when it is open.

[0083] The decorative element 20 can completely cover the surface of the door 10 facing the inner cavity 201, or it can cover a portion of the surface of the door 10 facing the inner cavity 201.

[0084] In other embodiments, a portion of the decorative element 20 covers the side of the door 10 away from the inner cavity 201, while another portion covers the side of the door 10 facing the inner cavity 201. Thus, the decorative element 20 is visible both when the door 10 of the laundry cleaning device is open and closed, further enriching and enhancing the appearance of the laundry cleaning device.

[0085] In some embodiments provided in this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the decorative element 20 is a flat or arc-shaped cap structure.

[0086] In some other embodiments provided in this application, the decorative element 20 is a ring structure, and the center of the decorative element 20 is provided with a through hole or transparent element that penetrates the decorative element 20 along the first direction x, so that the door body 10 can be observed through the center of the decorative element 20.

[0087] In some other embodiments provided in this application, the decorative element 20 has an end face facing the door body 10 in the first direction x, and the end face of the decorative element 20 is attached to the surface of the door body 10 facing the decorative element 20 in the first direction x.

The second magnetic element 11 is positioned by the second groove 16 to prevent the second magnetic element 11 from sliding relative to the door body 10.

[0092] In some embodiments provided in this application, there are multiple first magnetic elements 21, and the multiple first magnetic elements 21 are arranged at intervals along the inner side of the outer contour of the orthogonal projection of the decorative element 20 in the first direction x; there are multiple second magnetic elements 11, and the multiple second magnetic elements 11 are arranged at intervals along the inner side of the outer contour of the orthogonal projection of the door body 10 in the first direction x.

[0093] like Figure 6As shown, multiple first magnetic elements 21 are distributed at intervals along the edge of the decorative element 20, and the first magnetic elements 21 are arranged close to the edge of the decorative element 20, corresponding to, as Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of second magnetic elements 11 are distributed at intervals along the edge of the door body 10, and the second magnetic elements 11 are arranged close to the edge of the door body 10.

[0094] Therefore, the first magnetic component 21 is arranged near the edge of the decorative component 20, and the second magnetic component 11 is arranged near the edge of the door body 10. When the first magnetic component 21 and the second magnetic component 11 are attracted together, the stability of the magnetic connection between the decorative component 20 and the door body 10 is improved.

[0095] In some embodiments provided in this application, the decorative element 20 includes a first decorative element housing 22 and a second decorative element housing 23, the first decorative element housing 22 and the second decorative element housing 23 are disposed along the first direction x, and the first magnetic element 21 is sandwiched between the first decorative element housing 22 and the second decorative element housing 23.

The first door housing 12 has a low thermal conductivity, thereby reducing the heat conducted from the first door housing 12 to the second magnetic component 11, lowering the temperature of the second magnetic component 11, and preventing the magnetism of the second magnetic component 11 from being affected by excessively high temperature.

[0106] In some embodiments provided in this application, the door body 10 includes a first surface 101 away from the device body 200 and a second surface 102 close to the device body 200, a third surface 103 connecting the periphery of the first surface 101 and the periphery of the second surface 102, and the decorative element 20 covering the first surface 101.

[0107] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the first surface 101 is the surface of the door body 10 on the side away from the inner cavity 201 of the device body 200 in the first direction x. The decorative part 20 covers the first surface 101. When viewing the door assembly 100 from the side facing the device body 200 in the first direction x, the decorative part 20 decorates the first surface 101 of the door body 10 to enhance the visual effect of the door assembly 100, thereby improving the user experience.

[0108] In some embodiments provided in this application, the decorative element 20 also covers at least a portion of the third surface 103.

[0109] The third surface 103 is the surface of the door body 10 in the direction parallel to the first direction x. The third surface 103 connects the first surface 101 and the second surface 102, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the decorative part 20 includes a decorative portion 26 and an annular portion 27. The decorative portion 26 extends along a plane intersecting with the first direction x. The annular portion 27 is located on the side of the decorative portion 26 facing the door body 10 in the first direction x. The annular portion 27 extends along this direction. The decorative portion 26 is correspondingly disposed with the first surface 101. The annular portion 27 is sleeved on the outer periphery of at least a portion of the third surface 103, thereby decorating at least a portion of the third surface 103 of the door body 10 and improving the stability of the connection through the annular portion 27. In one embodiment, the annular portion 27 can be snapped into the third surface 103.

[0110] Therefore, when the door 10 is closed, the decorative element 20 can be seen by the user from any angle outside the main body 200, thereby enhancing the decorative effect of the decorative element 20 on the door assembly 100.

[0111] In some embodiments provided in this application, such as Figure 8 As shown, the door body 10 is provided with a groove 15. The groove opening of the groove 15 faces the radial outer side of the door body 10. The radial direction of the door body 10 is orthogonal to the first direction x. The groove opening facing the radial outer side means that the groove opening is open along the radial direction of the door body 10 in a direction away from the center of the door body 10.

[0112] Therefore, the user can pull the door 10 through the groove 15, thus avoiding the user accidentally removing the decorative piece 20 from the door 10 when opening the door assembly 100.

[0113] In some embodiments provided in this application, the decorative element 20 is an exterior element and is disposed on the side of the door 10 away from the device body 200.

[0114] In some embodiments where the decorative element 20 is an exterior element, the decorative element 20 includes a heat insulation layer (not shown in the figure) forming the surface of the decorative element 20 facing the door body 10 in a first direction x.

[0115] In some other embodiments where the decorative element 20 is an exterior element, the decorative element 20 includes a heat insulation layer (not shown) that forms the surface of the decorative element 20 away from the door body 10 in a first direction x.

[0116] In some other embodiments where the decorative element 20 is an exterior element, the decorative element 20 includes a heat insulation layer (not shown in the figure), which is a sandwich between two surfaces of the decorative element 20 in a first direction x.

[0117] In some other embodiments provided in this application, the decorative element 20 serves as both a decorative structure and a heat insulation element, covering the side of the door 10 away from the main body 200 of the device.

[0118] The clothing cleaning device provided in this application can be a washing machine. When the clothing cleaning device is washing or drying at high temperature, the temperature in the inner cavity 201 is conducted to the door assembly 100, and the temperature of the side of the door assembly 100 away from the inner cavity 201 in the first direction x will increase significantly.

[0119] By reducing the amount of heat conducted from the inner cavity 201 to the side of the door assembly 100 away from the inner cavity 201 in the first direction x through the heat insulation component or heat insulation layer, the temperature of the door assembly 100 on the side away from the inner cavity 201 in the first direction x is reduced, thereby improving the user experience.

[0120] In some embodiments, the insulation layer is made of materials with low thermal conductivity, such as aerogel, foamed glass insulation board, and polyurethane foam.

[0121] In other embodiments, the heat insulation layer is a double-layer structure design (such as double-layer soda-lime glass), forming an air insulation layer between the two layers of glass, which effectively blocks heat conduction and prevents users from being burned when they come into contact with the decorative part 20.

[0122] In some embodiments provided in this application, at least one of the decorative element 20 and the door body 10 is provided with a flexible element (not shown in the figure). When the decorative element 20 and the door body 10 are magnetically connected, both the decorative element 20 and the door body 10 are in interference fit with the flexible element.

[0123] The flexible element can be an elastic material that is compressible, such as a rubber pad or foam. In some embodiments, the flexible element is disposed on the side of the decorative element 20 facing the door body 10 in the first direction x. In other embodiments, the flexible element is disposed on the side of the door body 10 facing the decorative element 20 in the first direction x.

[0124] Therefore, when the decorative element 20 is magnetically connected to the door body 10, the flexible element is pressed against the decorative element 20 and the door body 10. On the one hand, the flexible element can increase the contact area between the decorative element 20 and the door body 10, thereby improving the stability of the contact between the decorative element 20 and the door body 10, preventing the decorative element 20 from shaking relative to the door body 10, and reducing the noise of the decorative element 20 during the use of the main body 200. On the other hand, the flexible element can filter the vibration received by the door body 10 from the main body 200 and transmit it to the decorative element 20, preventing the decorative element 20 from falling off due to the vibration during the use of the main body 200.

[0125] In some embodiments provided in this application, the door 10 includes a first viewing window 14, and the decorative element 20 includes a second viewing window 24. The second viewing window 24 is arranged corresponding to the first viewing window 14, and the first viewing window 14 and the second viewing window 24 are used to see through the inner cavity 201 of the device body 200.

[0126] The door body 10 includes a first window 14, which is made of a light-transmitting material and is used to allow light to pass through the door body 10. The decorative component 20 includes a second window 24, which is arranged corresponding to the first window 14 and is used to allow light to pass through the door assembly 100.

[0127] like Figure 5 and 8 As shown in the figure, the door 10 is rotatably mounted on the equipment body 200, and the first window 14 is located inside the door 10, and the first window 14 penetrates the door 10 along the first direction x.

[0128] As shown in the figure, when the door 10 is in the closed state, the second window 24 and the first window 14 are arranged correspondingly along the first direction x. The user can observe the situation in the inner cavity 201 through the first window 14 and the second window 24, thereby improving the user experience.

[0129] The following is combined Figure 1 The clothing cleaning equipment provided in the embodiments of this application will be described.

[0130] The clothing cleaning device provided in this application includes a device body 200 and a door assembly 100 as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the door assembly 100 is disposed on the device body 200.

[0131] like Figure 1 As shown, the clothing cleaning device provided in this application embodiment can be a drum washing machine. The main body 200 of the device is provided with an inner cavity 201 for accommodating the items to be cleaned. The inner cavity 201 has an opening in the first direction x. The door assembly 100 is disposed at the opening. The door body 10 of the door assembly 100 is disposed on the side of the opening away from the inner cavity 201 in an openable and closable manner.

[0132] The decorative part 20 of the door assembly 100 provided in this application embodiment is easy to replace, thereby improving the degree of customization and enhancing the user experience.

The door body 10 is configured to allow a decorative element 20 to be detachably installed on its side facing away from the device body 200.

[0135] The door assembly 100 has a first state and a second state, such as Figure 2 As shown, in the first state, the decorative element 20 is removed from the door body 10. The door assembly 100 includes the door body 10 described in any of the above embodiments, but does not include the decorative element 20, as... Figure 1 As shown, in the second state, the door assembly 100 includes the door body 10 described in any of the above embodiments and the decorative element 20 described in any of the above embodiments.

[0136] Therefore, the clothing cleaning device may include a door assembly 100 with decorative elements 20, and the clothing cleaning device may also include a door assembly 100 with only a door body 10, so that the clothing cleaning device provided in this application embodiment has the advantage of a high degree of customizability.

[0137] In some embodiments provided in this application, the decorative element 20 is magnetically connected to the door body 10, and the magnetic attraction between the decorative element 20 and the door body 10 generates a force greater than the resistance to opening and closing the door body 10.

[0138] Therefore, on the one hand, it reduces the difficulty of disassembling the decorative part 20 from the door body 10, making it easier to remove the decorative part 20 from the door body 10; on the other hand, the magnetic connection between the decorative part 20 and the door body 10 will not leave any visible fasteners or residue on the surface of the door body 10, thus maintaining the overall aesthetics of the door assembly 100.

[0139] In addition, ensure that the decorative part 20 does not loosen during use and operation, and ensure that the decorative part 20 is firmly connected to the door body 10.

[0140] In some embodiments provided in this application, the door body 10 is provided with a second magnetic element 11, which is configured to be able to engage with a first magnetic element 21 in the decorative element 20; one of the first magnetic element 21 and the second magnetic element 11 includes a neodymium iron boron magnet or an electromagnet, and the other of the first magnetic element 21 and the second magnetic element 11 includes an iron sheet.

[0141] In some embodiments, the first magnetic element 21 is a ferromagnet or a ferrimagnet, and the second magnetic element 11 is a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.

[0142] In some other embodiments, the first magnetic element 21 is a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, the second magnetic element 11 is a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, and the magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 21 and the magnetic poles of the second magnetic element 11 are arranged in the same direction.

[0143] In other embodiments, a portion of the first magnetic element 21 is a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, a portion of the first magnetic element 21 is a ferromagnet or a ferrimagnet, a portion of the second magnetic element 11 is a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, and a portion of the second magnetic element 11 is a ferromagnet or a ferrimagnet.

[0144] In some embodiments provided in this application, there are multiple second magnetic elements 11, which are evenly arranged circumferentially around the central axis of the door body 10.

[0145] In some embodiments provided in this application, a plurality of the second magnetic elements 11 are evenly arranged along the edge of the door body 10.

[0146] like Figure 7 As shown, multiple second magnetic elements 11 are distributed at intervals along the edge of the door body 10, and the second magnetic elements 11 are arranged close to the edge of the door body 10. Correspondingly, multiple first magnetic elements 21 are distributed at intervals along the edge of the decorative element 20, and the first magnetic elements 21 are arranged close to the edge of the decorative element 20.

[0147] Therefore, the second magnetic element 11 is arranged close to the edge of the door body 10, increasing the distance between the two second magnetic elements 11 in the direction orthogonal to the first direction x. When the first magnetic element 21 and the second magnetic element 11 are attracted, the stability of the magnetic connection between the decorative element 20 and the door body 10 is improved.

[0148] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application.
