[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on this utility model.
[0030] This application provides a housing for a garment processing device, wherein the garment processing device can be a washing machine, dryer, washer-dryer combo, or a combination garment processing device. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing for the garment processing equipment includes a box plate 3, a bottom plate 1, and two corner plates 2. The box plate 3 forms part of the side of the garment processing equipment. The bottom plate 1 is fixed to the bottom of the box plate 3 and includes a front sub-plate 11 and two side sub-plates 12 disposed at both ends of the front sub-plate 11. The two corner plates 2 are respectively disposed at two corners on the front side of the bottom plate 1, and the corner plates 2 are fixedly connected to the front sub-plate 11 and the side plate 12 on the side where they are located.
[0031] The aforementioned box panel 3 can form one or more sides of the garment processing equipment, or it can form part of a single side of the garment processing equipment. Preferably, the box panel 3 includes a left side panel and a right side panel respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the garment processing equipment, and a rear cover panel disposed on the rear side of the garment processing equipment.
[0032] The aforementioned base plate 1 may include a front sub-plate 11 and two side sub-plates 12. The front sub-plate 11 and the side sub-plates 12 may be assembled and fixed or integrally formed.
[0033] In addition, two corner plates 2 are respectively installed at the intersection of the front sub-plate 11 and the side sub-plate 12, that is, at the two corners on the front side of the bottom plate 1, to strengthen the connection between the front sub-plate 11 and the two side plates 12.
[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, further, the corner plate 2 may be provided with reinforcing ribs 21. The reinforcing ribs 21 may be formed on the corner plate 2 by stamping, or they may be formed by folding on the corner plate 2 of metal sheet, or they may be an attachment installed on the corner plate 2, such as a stiffening plate installed on the corner plate 2.
[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the reinforcing rib 21 is provided along the edge of the corner plate 2; and the reinforcing rib 21 can protrude in a direction away from the bottom plate 1. For example, if the corner plate 2 is provided below the bottom plate 1, the reinforcing rib 21 can first protrude downwards; in addition, the reinforcing rib 21 may include two first reinforcing segments 211 that are parallel to the front sub-plate 11 and the side sub-plate 12 respectively, and a second reinforcing segment 212 that intersects both of the first reinforcing segments 211.
[0036] In the scheme of this application, it is preferred to design a first reinforcing section 211 and a second reinforcing section 212 on the corner plate 2. The number of the first reinforcing section 211 and the second reinforcing section 212 is not limited. This application preferably sets two mutually perpendicular first reinforcing sections 211 to ensure that the two first reinforcing sections 211 are respectively located below the front sub-plate 11 and the side sub-plate 12. The second reinforcing section 212 connects the two first reinforcing sections 211, improving the overall continuity, which is convenient for molding and also increases the effective area of the reinforcing rib 21.
[0037] In this embodiment, the reinforcing rib 21 can be provided along the edge of the corner plate 2 to increase the effective length of the reinforcing rib 21.
[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to further enhance the structural strength of the shell, this embodiment may also include a rear reinforcing plate 4, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box plate 3, and the two ends of the rear reinforcing plate 4 are respectively connected to the rear ends of the two side plates 12.
[0039] Specifically, the rear reinforcing plate 4 is located at the rear of the garment processing equipment. It can be locked and fixed to the rear of the box plate 3 by screws, or the box plate 3 and the rear reinforcing plate 4 can be fixedly connected by rivets. Of course, the rear reinforcing plate 4 can also be connected to the rear ends of the two side plates 12 at the same time. Specifically, the screw connection or rivet connection can be used, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a reinforcing member 41 may be provided on the rear reinforcing plate 4. The reinforcing member 41 may be a flange formed by rolling or bending the rear reinforcing plate 4, or a reinforcing rib 21 formed by stamping the rear reinforcing plate 4, or a reinforcing member 41 welded on the rear reinforcing plate 4, such as welding a metal reinforcing plate on the rear reinforcing plate 4 to improve the structural strength of the rear reinforcing plate 4.
[0041] Specifically, the reinforcing member 41 can be a combination of a main reinforcing section 411 and a sub-reinforcing section 412. The main reinforcing section 411 is arranged around the edge of the rear reinforcing plate 4, and the sub-reinforcing sections 412 are distributed on the rear reinforcing plate 4 to fill the empty space of the main reinforcing section 411, thereby greatly improving the structural strength of the rear reinforcing plate 4.
[0042] As an optional embodiment, the rear reinforcing plate 4 and the corner plate 2 are both located on the lower side of the base plate 1 so that the rear reinforcing plate 4 and the corner plate 2 are at the same height or close to the same height, ensuring the flatness of the bottom of the entire garment processing equipment housing, and further ensuring that the entire base plate 1 is subjected to uniform force from front to back.
[0043] like Figure 2As shown, at least one of the corner plate 2 and the rear reinforcing plate 4 is provided with a notch for providing space for the feet of the garment processing equipment. The lower surface of the base plate 1 needs to be fitted with feet to support the entire garment processing equipment. Preferably, the feet are installed at the corners of the base plate 1, and their number is set as needed. In actual products, the base plate 1 may only have feet at the front or rear end, and the notch may be provided only at the corner plate 2 or only at both ends of the rear reinforcing plate 4. Apart from the above, the corner plate 2 and the rear reinforcing plate 4 are provided with notches for providing space.
[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, to further increase the structural strength of the housing, the front part of the front sub-plate 11 can be folded upward to form an upper sub-plate 111 for mounting components. The upper sub-plate 111 is formed by bending the front sub-plate 11 upward. Of course, the upper sub-plate 111 can also be a separate attachment, such as the upper sub-plate 111 being fixedly connected above the front sub-plate 11. The upper sub-plate 111 in this embodiment can also be used to mount other components in the garment processing equipment, such as a drain filter.
[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, this application also provides a garment processing device, including a housing for garment processing device as described in any of the above embodiments. The housing serves as the outer surface of the garment processing device and provides protection.
[0046] Specifically, shock-absorbing components 5 can be installed above both side panels 12, and the same tub body 6 can be connected above the shock-absorbing components 5. The tub body 6 can be subsequently fitted with a washing drum or a drying drum to perform different washing or drying operations.
[0047] The shock absorption assembly 5 includes a support 51 connected above the side plate 12 and a shock absorber 52 rotatably connected to the corresponding support 51. The upper end of the shock absorber 52 is locked to the barrel body 6 by a pin 53.
[0048] In actual products, the garment processing equipment may include drying drums and washing drums stacked one on top of the other.
[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
