Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical manufacturing technology, and in particular to a tray base and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Washing machines are commonly used clothing processing devices in people's daily lives. Their high usage frequency greatly reduces people's workload, making them consistently popular. Washing machines can be categorized by their working principle into top-loading washing machines, agitator washing machines, and pulsator washing machines. Top-loading washing machines have an agitator installed at the bottom of the washing tub. Driven by a motor, the agitator rotates rapidly. The agitator's surface has raised ribs, which, during rotation, create a vortex in the water inside the tub. The clothes are continuously tumbled and rubbed under the influence of this vortex, ensuring thorough contact with the detergent and thus removing stains.

[0003] Top-loading washing machines typically consist of a cabinet and a tray mounted on top of the cabinet. The tray has a loading port in the center for storing clothes, detergent, or fabric softener. The outside of the tray usually has hanging holes for hanging the drain hose. Since the tray is usually smaller than the cabinet, the hooks on the drain hose can easily scratch the outer surface of the cabinet when hanging it, causing the paint on the outer surface of the cabinet to be scratched or peeled off, resulting in an unsightly appearance of the washing machine. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a tray base and a garment processing device.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a tray stand, including a base body and a hanging part. The hanging part is disposed on the outside of the base body. A first part of the hanging part is connected to the base body. A second part of the hanging part and the base body enclose a hanging space. A protruding structure is provided on the base body in a region corresponding to the second part of the hanging part. The protruding structure is spaced apart from the second part of the hanging part.

[0006] In some embodiments, the mounting portion includes a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other, and the first portion includes at least one of the first end and the second end;

[0007] The second part of the mounting portion is located between the first end and the second end.

[0008] In some embodiments, both the first end and the second end are connected to the base.

[0009] In some embodiments, the mounting portion includes a first side portion, a lateral extension portion, and a second side portion. The first side portion and the second side portion are respectively disposed on both sides of the lateral extension portion and connected to the lateral extension portion. The end of the first side portion facing away from the lateral extension portion is the first end, and the end of the second side portion facing away from the lateral extension portion is the second end.

[0010] In some embodiments, the area on the seat body connected to the hanging portion is a plane, and the lateral extension and the area on the seat body connected to the hanging portion are parallel to each other and spaced apart; and / or

[0011] The first side and the second side are both straight and parallel to each other.

[0012] In some embodiments, the protrusion structure includes a plurality of protrusions spaced apart.

[0013] In some embodiments, the plurality of protrusions are parallel to each other.

[0014] In some embodiments, the plurality of protrusions are arranged in an array.

[0015] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a garment processing device, including a tray as described above.

[0016] In some embodiments, the garment processing equipment further includes a housing, and the tray is disposed above the housing and connected to the housing;

[0017] The top surface of the protruding structure is flush with the outer surface of the base, or the top surface of the protruding structure protrudes beyond the outer surface of the base.

[0018] The tray stand provided in this application embodiment creates a hanging space between the second part of the hanging part and the base body, and provides a protruding structure on the base body in the area corresponding to the second part of the hanging part. When the drain pipe hook is hung on the hanging part, the hook can only contact the surface of the protruding structure. At this time, with the support of the protruding structure, the hook can maintain a distance from both the tray stand and the cabinet below the tray stand, thereby preventing the hook from scratching the cabinet and causing the paint on the outer surface of the cabinet to be scratched or peeled off. Therefore, the appearance of the washing machine can maintain a good aesthetic appearance for a long time. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a tray stand 100, including a base 20 and a hanging part 30. The hanging part 30 is disposed on the outside of the base 20. A first part of the hanging part 30 is connected to the base 20. A second part of the hanging part 30 and the base 20 enclose a hanging space 110. A protruding structure 40 is provided on the base 20 in a region corresponding to the second part of the hanging part 30. The protruding structure 40 is spaced apart from the second part of the hanging part 30.

[0032] The tray stand 100 provided in this application embodiment creates a hanging space 110 between the second part of the hanging part 30 and the base 20, and provides a protruding structure 40 on the base 20 corresponding to the second part of the hanging part 30. When the hook 70 of the drain pipe 60 is hung on the hanging part 30, the hook 70 can only contact the surface of the protruding structure 40. At this time, under the support of the protruding structure 40, the hook 70 can maintain a distance from the tray stand 100 and the cabinet 50 below the tray stand 100, thereby avoiding the hook 70 from scratching the cabinet 50 and causing the paint on the outer surface of the cabinet 50 to be scratched or peeled off. Therefore, the appearance of the washing machine can maintain a good aesthetic appearance for a long time.

[0033] Please see Figure 2In some embodiments, the mounting portion 30 includes a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other, the first portion including at least one of the first end and the second end; the second portion of the mounting portion 30 is located between the first end and the second end.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, both the first end and the second end are connected to the base 20.

[0035] It is understandable that when both the first end and the second end are connected to the seat 20, the hanging part 30 and the seat 20 enclose a space around the perimeter, thereby improving the connection stability between the hook 70 of the drain pipe 60 and the hanging part 30, and also improving the mechanical strength of the hanging part 30 and extending its service life.

[0036] In some embodiments, the seat 20 and the hanging part 30 may be an integral structure.

[0037] For example, the tray 100 is formed by injection molding.

[0038] For example, the tray 100 is made of plastic or metal.

[0039] In some other embodiments, the surface of the protrusion structure 40 is provided with a pad to protect the hook 70 of the drain pipe 60.

[0040] For example, the material of the cushion can be plant fiber or chemical fiber, etc.

[0041] In some other embodiments, the protrusion structure 40 is an elastic element that serves to protect the hook 70 of the drain pipe 60.

[0042] For example, when the protrusion structure 40 is an elastic element, the material of the protrusion structure 40 can be a rubber-based material or an elastomer plastic. The rubber-based material can be natural rubber or synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is derived from the sap of rubber trees and its main component is polyisoprene. Synthetic rubber can be styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), butadiene rubber (BR), ethylene propylene rubber (EPDM), silicone rubber, or fluororubber (FKM), etc. The elastomer plastic can be a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE / TPR). Thermoplastic elastomers combine the processability of plastics and the elasticity of rubber and can be repeatedly melt-molded. Thermoplastic elastomers can be styrene-based (e.g., SBS, SEBS, etc.), polyolefin-based (e.g., TPO, etc.) or polyurethane-based (e.g., TPU, etc.).

[0043] Please see Figure 2In some embodiments, the mounting portion 30 includes a first side portion 31, a lateral extension portion 33, and a second side portion 32. The first side portion 31 and the second side portion 32 are respectively disposed on both sides of the lateral extension portion 33 and connected to the lateral extension portion 33. The end of the first side portion 31 that is away from the lateral extension portion 33 is the first end, and the end of the second side portion 32 that is away from the lateral extension portion 33 is the second end.

[0044] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the area on the seat 20 connected to the hanging part 30 is a plane, and the lateral extension 33 and the area on the seat 20 connected to the hanging part 30 are parallel to each other and kept apart.

[0045] Please see Figure 2 For example, the first side portion 31 and the second side portion 32 are both straight and parallel to each other.

[0046] In other embodiments, the first side portion 31 may be arc-shaped and bend away from the second side portion 32; and / or, the second side portion 32 may be arc-shaped and bend away from the first side portion 31.

[0047] It is understandable that by setting the first side 31 and / or the second side 32 to be arc-shaped, the area of ​​the hanging space 110 enclosed between the hanging part 30 and the seat 20 can be expanded, thereby making it easier to hang the hook 70 of the drain pipe 60 on the hanging part 30.

[0048] Please see Figure 2 For example, the protrusion structure 40 includes a plurality of protrusions 41 spaced apart.

[0049] In the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to two or more, such as three, four, five, six, seven, eight, etc.

[0050] It is understandable that by setting the protruding structure 40 including multiple protrusions 41 spaced apart, not only can the total area occupied by the protruding structure 40 be increased, so that when the hook 70 of the drain pipe 60 is hung on the hanging part 30, the hook 70 can contact the protruding structure 40 as much as possible instead of the tray 100, thus improving the protection effect on the box 50, but also the multiple protrusions 41 can be used as reinforcing ribs, thereby improving the mechanical strength of the tray 100.

[0051] Please see Figure 2In some embodiments, the plurality of protrusions 41 are parallel to each other. Exemplarily, the extending directions of the plurality of protrusions 41 are perpendicular to the extending direction of the lateral extension 33.

[0052] In other embodiments, the plurality of protrusions 41 are arranged in an array.

[0053] Please see Figure 1 For example, the tray 100 is provided with a dispensing port 21 for putting in clothes, detergent or fabric softener, etc.

[0054] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 This application provides a garment processing device 200, which includes the tray 100 in any of the above embodiments.

[0055] For example, the clothing handling device 200 can be a washing machine or a washer-dryer combo, such as a top-loading washing machine or a top-loading washer-dryer combo.

[0056] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 For example, the garment processing device 200 further includes a housing 50, the tray 100 is disposed above the housing 50 and connected to the housing 50; the top surface of the protruding structure 40 is flush with the outer surface of the seat 20, or the top surface of the protruding structure 40 protrudes from the outer surface of the seat 20.

[0057] It is understood that the top surface of the protrusion structure 40 refers to the surface of the protrusion structure 40 facing away from the seat body 20.

[0058] Understandably, when the top surface of the protruding structure 40 is flush with the outer surface of the base 20, if the part of the hook 70 that enters between the hanging part 30 and the base 100 is arc-shaped, then only a part of the hook 70 can contact the top surface of the protruding structure 40, while the other part is tilted outward away from the base 100 and the box 50, thus failing to cause friction to the box 50; if the part of the hook 70 that enters between the hanging part 30 and the base 100 is vertical, then the hook 70 may contact the box 50. Since there is no squeezing between the two, the hook 70 is unlikely to scratch or peel off the paint on the outer surface of the box 50.

[0059] It is understandable that when the top surface of the protruding structure 40 protrudes from the outer surface of the base 20, regardless of whether the part of the hook 70 that enters between the hanging part 30 and the plate base 100 is arc-shaped or vertical, the hook 70 cannot contact the box 50, and thus cannot cause friction to the box 50.

[0060] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 For example, the housing 50 is provided with a washing tub, and the clothing processing device 200 also includes a drain pipe 60. One end of the drain pipe 60 is connected to the drain outlet of the washing tub to discharge the washing wastewater in the washing tub. A hook 70 can be connected to the end of the drain pipe 60 away from the washing tub, so that the hook 70 can be hung on the hanging part 30 to fix the drain pipe 60.

[0061] For example, the hook 70 is L-shaped or arc-shaped.

[0062] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 For example, the lateral extension 33 of the hanging part 30 extends in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction from the tray 100 to the housing 50.

[0063] For example, the garment processing device 200 also includes a door cover 80, which is disposed above the tray base 100 and rotatably connected to the tray base 100, and the door cover 80 is used to cover the feeding port 21 on the tray base 100.

[0064] The tray and garment processing device provided in the embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand this application. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of this application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
