[0044] The device body 400. Detailed Implementation

[0045] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0046] The following is for reference. Figures 1-13 This invention describes a clothing handling device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The clothing handling device 1000 may be a washing machine, dryer, washer-dryer combo, etc.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clothing handling device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a device body 400 and a door assembly 100. The device body 400 has a clothing loading and unloading opening, and the door assembly 100 is pivotally disposed on the device body 400 for opening and closing the clothing loading and unloading opening.

[0048] The door assembly 100 includes a door body 10 and a flexible handle 20, wherein the flexible handle 20 includes a flexible sheet 22. Here, "flexible sheet 22" means that the flexible sheet 22 can deform or bend under the action of external force.

[0049] The flexible sheet 22 has a first end and a second end in a first direction. The first end of the flexible sheet 22 is connected to the door body 10, and the second end of the flexible sheet 22 protrudes from the outer periphery of the door body 10, making it convenient for the user to grasp or pull the flexible sheet 22. Here, "first direction" refers to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the F1 direction.

[0050] For example, the door body 10 can be pivotally mounted on the device body 400 via a hinge assembly (not shown).

[0051] Specifically, the flexible handle 20 and the hinge assembly can be arranged opposite each other in the left and right directions of the door body 10. For example, the hinge assembly is located on the left side of the door body 10 and the flexible handle 20 is located on the right side of the door body 10; or, for another example, the hinge assembly is located on the right side of the door body 10 and the flexible handle 20 is located on the left side of the door body 10.

[0052] Alternatively, the flexible handle 20 and the hinge assembly can be arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction of the door body 10. For example, the hinge assembly is located on the upper side of the door body 10, and the flexible handle 20 is located on the lower side of the door body 10; or, for another example, the hinge assembly is located on the lower side of the door body 10, and the flexible handle 20 is located on the upper side of the door body 10.

[0053] Of course, the flexible handle 20 and the hinge assembly can also be staggered in the left-right or up-down direction. For example, the hinge assembly is located on the left or right side of the door body 10, and the flexible handle 20 is located on the upper or lower side of the door body 10; or, for another example, the hinge assembly is located on the upper or lower side of the door body 10, and the flexible handle 20 is located on the left or right side of the door body 10.

[0054] It is understandable that when the flexible handle 20 is located on the left or right side of the door body 10, the first direction of the flexible sheet 22 is the left-right direction of the door body 10. When the flexible handle 20 is located on the upper or lower side of the door body 10, the first direction of the flexible sheet 22 is the up-down direction of the door body 10.

[0055] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the clothing processing device 1000 can reduce the thickness of the door assembly 100 by replacing the handle in the related technology with a flexible handle 20. This not only reduces the space occupied by the door assembly 100, making the clothing processing device 1000 look thinner and improving its aesthetics, but also reduces the weight of the door assembly 1000, making it more convenient for users to operate.

[0056] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the door body 10 is pivotally mounted on the device body 400 via a hinge assembly, and the flexible handle 20 is located on the side of the door body 10 away from the hinge assembly. This arrangement allows the flexible handle 20 to be positioned away from the door body 10, enabling the user to open and close the door assembly 100 with less effort.

[0057] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the door body 10 is pivotally mounted on the device body 400 via a hinge assembly. The door body 10 is provided with a door hook 30 for engaging with the door lock of the device body 400. Both the door hook 30 and the flexible handle 20 are located on the side of the door body 10 away from the hinge assembly. For example, the door hook 30 and the flexible handle 20 can be located at the same position on the door body 10, or, for example, the door hook 30 and the flexible handle 20 can be arranged side by side and adjacent to each other.

[0058] In the above technical solution, by placing the flexible handle 20 on the side of the door body 10 away from the hinge assembly, the flexible handle 20 can be moved away from the door body 10, allowing the user to open and close the door assembly 100 with less effort. By placing the door hook 30 on the side of the door body 10 away from the hinge assembly, the reliability of the fit between the door hook 30 and the device body 400 can be improved, preventing gaps from appearing between the door body 10 and the device body 400.

[0059] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the flexible sheet 22 includes a first sheet 221 and a second sheet 222, which are disposed opposite to each other. One end of the first sheet 221 in a first direction and one end of the second sheet 222 in a first direction are connected to each other to form a first end of the flexible sheet 22. The other end of the first sheet 221 in the first direction and the other end of the second sheet 222 in the first direction are connected to each other to form a second end of the flexible sheet 22. In other words, the flexible sheet 22 forms a ring structure.

[0060] Therefore, by setting the flexible sheet 22 to include a first sheet 221 and a second sheet 222 connected together, the user can insert their finger between the first sheet 221 and the second sheet 222 to easily grasp or pull the flexible sheet 22, thus avoiding the problem of slippage during operation.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first sheet 221 and the second sheet 222 are integrally formed. By integrally forming the first sheet 221 and the second sheet 222, the connection step between the first sheet 221 and the second sheet 222 can be eliminated, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency. On the other hand, the connection reliability between the first sheet 221 and the second sheet 222 can be guaranteed, and the appearance of the flexible sheet 22 can also be improved.

[0062] The flexible sheet 22 can be a plastic part, a rubber part, a leather part, or a woven part.

[0063] For example, the flexible sheet 22 is a plastic part. Specifically, the flexible sheet 22 can be made by bending a strip of plastic sheet, which simplifies the structure of the flexible sheet 22, makes it easy to form, and reduces production costs.

[0064] For example, the flexible sheet 22 is a rubber component. Because rubber components have excellent tensile resilience, they can undergo large deformation when subjected to force and quickly return to their original shape after being released. Therefore, by making the flexible sheet 22 a rubber component, the flexible sheet 22 can undergo elastic deformation according to the usage conditions, thereby improving the reliability of the flexible sheet 22 and also giving the flexible sheet 22 a certain cushioning effect, thus improving the user experience.

[0065] For example, the flexible sheet 22 is made of leather. This arrangement allows the flexible sheet 22 to have good tensile strength and abrasion resistance, and also enhances the texture of the flexible sheet 22.

[0066] For example, the flexible sheet 22 is a woven piece. Specifically, the flexible sheet 22 can be made of multiple fibers (such as nylon, polyester, polypropylene, etc.) woven together. When the flexible sheet 22 is pulled, the stress can be evenly distributed to the multiple fibers, resulting in high reliability.

[0067] like Figures 2-4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the flexible handle 20 further includes a mounting base 21, and the first end of the flexible sheet 22 is connected to the mounting base 21. The flexible sheet 22 is disposed on the door body 10 through the mounting base 21. This arrangement facilitates the placement of the flexible sheet 22 on the door body 10 and improves the installation reliability of the flexible sheet 22 on the door body 10.

[0068] In some embodiments, the periphery of the door body 10 has a receiving cavity, the opening of which is away from the center of the door body 10, and the mounting base 21 is disposed in the receiving cavity.

[0069] It should be noted that the receiving cavity here may have only one opening, which allows the mounting base 21 to be hidden between the inner and outer sides of the door body 10; of course, the receiving cavity may also have other openings. For example, the side of the door body 10 facing the device body 400 or the side away from the device body 400 may also have an opening that communicates with the receiving cavity, so that the mounting base 21 is exposed on the inner or outer side of the door body 10, which facilitates the installation and removal of the mounting base 21.

[0070] Therefore, by placing the mounting base 21 inside the mounting cavity, the mounting base 21 will not be visible from the inside and / or outside of the door assembly 100, thus hiding the mounting base 21 inside the door body 10. This makes the appearance of the door assembly 100 flat and beautiful, and the door body 10 can also protect the mounting base 21 to prevent it from being damaged or getting dirty.

[0071] In some embodiments, the door body 10 has a receiving opening that extends through its thickness direction, and the mounting base 21 is disposed in the receiving opening and is constructed as part of the appearance of the door body assembly 100. This arrangement facilitates the installation and removal of the flexible handle 20 and allows for a more aesthetically pleasing design, thereby enhancing the appearance of the clothing handling device 1000.

[0072] In some embodiments, the side of the mounting base 21 furthest from the center of the door body 10 is flush with the outer peripheral surface of the door body 10. This arrangement makes the appearance of the door assembly 100 smoother, preventing abrupt structures on the outer edge of the door assembly 100 that could cause safety issues, and also preventing pits on the outer edge of the door assembly 100 that could easily trap dirt and grime. It also improves the aesthetic appearance of the door assembly 100.

[0073] For example, if the outer edge of the door body 10 is circular, the side of the mounting base 21 furthest from the center of the door body 10 can be formed into an arc shape. Alternatively, if the outer edge of the door body 10 is square, the side of the mounting base 21 furthest from the center of the door body 10 can be formed into a straight line.

[0074] In some embodiments, the mounting base 21 and the flexible sheet 22 can be integrally formed.

[0075] For example, when the mounting base 21 is formed, the pre-made flexible sheet 22 can be placed into the mold first, and then the molten raw material can be injected into the mold. After the molten raw material solidifies, the mounting base 21 is formed. The formed mounting base 21 is fixed together with the flexible sheet 22 without the need for a separate connection step.

[0076] Of course, the mounting base 21 and the flexible sheet 22 can be integrally molded from the same material, such as by integral injection molding of plastic. The resulting mounting base 21 can be a block structure with a relatively large thickness, which facilitates fixing the mounting base 21 to the door body 10.

[0077] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the flexible sheet 22 is provided with an insertion hole 220, and the mounting base 21 has an insertion protrusion 2111, which engages with the insertion hole 220. This arrangement allows the flexible sheet 22 to be positioned and mounted on the mounting base 21.

[0078] like Figure 6 As shown, the number of insertion holes 220 and insertion protrusions 2111 can be multiple, and the multiple insertion protrusions 2111 and multiple insertion holes 220 are inserted and matched in a one-to-one correspondence, thereby improving the installation reliability of the flexible sheet 22 on the mounting base 21.

[0079] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some examples, the flexible sheet 22 includes a first sheet 221 and a second sheet 222 disposed opposite to each other. One end of the first sheet 221 in a first direction and one end of the second sheet 222 in the first direction are connected to form a first end of the flexible sheet 22, and the other end of the first sheet 221 in the first direction and the other end of the second sheet 222 in the first direction are connected to form a second end of the flexible sheet 22. That is, the flexible sheet 22 forms a ring structure.

[0080] Therefore, by configuring the flexible sheet 22 to include a first sheet 221 and a second sheet 222 connected together, the user can insert their finger between the first sheet 221 and the second sheet 222 to easily grasp or pull the flexible sheet 22.

[0081] The insertion hole 220 is disposed through the first piece 221 and the second piece 222. In this way, the insertion protrusion 2111 passes through the first piece 221 and the second piece 222, which can not only connect one end of the first piece 221 in the first direction and one end of the second piece 222 in the first direction together, but also fix one end of the first piece 221 in the first direction and one end of the second piece 222 in the first direction to the mounting base 21. This dual-purpose design simplifies the structure of the flexible handle 20.

[0082] Of course, the flexible sheet 22 and the mounting base 21 can also be connected together by snap-fit, adhesive, or fasteners.

[0083] like Figures 5-8 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting base 21 includes a first base 211 and a second base 212, which are disposed opposite to each other and define a mounting cavity 2101 between them. The first end of the flexible sheet 22 is disposed in the mounting cavity 2101 and is connected to the first base 211 and / or the second base 212.

[0084] During assembly, the first end of the flexible sheet 22 can be installed onto one of the first base 211 and the second base 212, and then the other of the first base 211 and the second base 212 can be fastened together to connect the first base 211 and the second base 212, thereby realizing the connection between the flexible sheet 22 and the mounting base 21.

[0085] In the above technical solution, by placing the first end of the flexible sheet 22 in the mounting cavity 2101, on the one hand, the mounting base 21 can be used to hide the connection position between the first end of the flexible sheet 22 and the mounting base 21, making the appearance of the flexible handle 20 flat and improving the aesthetics of the flexible handle 20. On the other hand, the first end of the flexible handle 20 can be protected to ensure the reliability of the connection between the first end of the flexible handle 20 and the mounting base 21, thereby improving the reliability of the flexible handle 20 in use.

[0086] The first base 211 and the second base 212 can be connected together by snap-fitting, bonding, welding or fasteners.

[0087] like Figures 6-8As shown, in some examples, the first end of the flexible sheet 22 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes 220, which are spaced apart in a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction. Here, "second direction" refers to... Figure 6 and Figure 8 The F2 direction in the middle.

[0088] In this case, one of the first seat body 211 and the second seat body 212 has a plurality of insertion protrusions 2111 on the side facing the other, and the plurality of insertion protrusions 2111 are inserted into and engaged with the plurality of insertion holes 220 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0089] The following explanation will be based on the example of multiple insertion protrusions 2111 provided on the first base 211.

[0090] During assembly, the first end of the flexible sheet 22 can be first installed onto the first base 211. Specifically, the multiple insertion protrusions 2111 on the first base 211 are inserted one-to-one with the multiple insertion holes 220 on the first end of the flexible sheet 22. Then, the second base 212 is fastened together, connecting the first base 211 and the second base 212. After the first base 211 and the second base 212 are connected, the multiple insertion protrusions 2111 all abut against the second base 212, which can prevent the flexible sheet 22 from disengaging from the insertion protrusions 2111, thus improving the reliability of the connection between the flexible sheet 22 and the mounting base 21.

[0091] Therefore, by setting multiple insertion protrusions 2111 and multiple insertion holes 220, and inserting and engaging the multiple insertion protrusions 2111 and multiple insertion holes 220 one by one, the installation reliability of the flexible sheet 22 on the mounting base 21 can be improved.

[0092] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, the mounting base 21 has a clearance opening 2102, and the inner side of the door body 10 has a through hole 110, which is opposite to and communicates with the clearance opening 2102.

[0093] The door assembly 100 also includes a door hook 30, which is located inside the door body 10 and at the clearance opening 2102. A portion of the door hook 30 extends out of the door body 10 through the through hole 110.

[0094] In the above technical solution, by setting an avoidance opening 2102 on the mounting base 21, on the one hand, the mounting base 21 can reserve installation space for the door hook 30, avoid interference between the mounting base 21 and the door hook 30, and ensure that the mounting base 21 and the door hook 30 can be installed in the same position on the door body 10, thereby improving space utilization. On the other hand, the mounting base 21 can limit the door hook 30 at the avoidance opening 2102, ensuring the reliability and stability of the installation of the door hook 30 on the door body 10.

[0095] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some specific examples, the door hook 30 includes a main body 31 and a hook body 32. The main body 31 is located inside the door body 10 and at the clearance opening 2102. The hook body 32 is located on the side of the main body 31 facing the device body 400. The hook body 32 passes through the through hole 110, so that when the door body 10 is in the state of closing the clothing access opening, it can cooperate with the door lock of the device body 400 to lock the door body 10 in the state of closing the clothing access opening.

[0096] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the main body 31 is provided with a positioning hole 301 and a first fixing hole 302, and the door body 10 is provided with a positioning post 104 and a second fixing hole 105. The positioning post 104 is inserted into the positioning hole 301, so that the door hook 30 can be positioned on the door body 10. The door hook 30 can be fixed on the door body 10 by fasteners. The fasteners are inserted through the first fixing hole 302 and the second fixing hole 105 to ensure the reliability and stability of the installation of the door hook 30 on the door body 10.

[0097] like Figure 4 As shown, in some specific examples, the mounting base 21 includes a first extension 213 and two second extensions 214. The first extension 213 extends along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. The two ends of the first extension 213 in the second direction are respectively connected to the two second extensions 214, and together with the two first extensions 213, they define a clearance opening 2102.

[0098] The first end of the flexible sheet 22 is connected to the first extension 213.

[0099] Therefore, by setting the mounting base 21 to include a first extension 213 and two second extensions 214, the first extension 213 and the two second extensions 214 can define the clearance 2102. On the one hand, it can reserve installation space for the door hook 30, avoid interference between the mounting base 21 and the door hook 30, ensure that the mounting base 21 and the door hook 30 can be installed in the same position on the door body 10, and improve space utilization. On the other hand, it can reduce the material used in the mounting base 21, reduce material costs, and also reduce the weight of the mounting base 21.

[0100] like Figure 4 , Figures 7-8 As shown, in some specific examples, the mounting base 21 defines a mounting cavity 2101, and the first end of the flexible sheet 22 is disposed in the mounting cavity 2101.

[0101] The mounting cavity 2101 includes a first chamber and a second chamber. A first extension 213 defines the first chamber, and a second extension 214 defines the second chamber. A plurality of insertion protrusions 2111 are disposed in the first chamber and are inserted into and cooperate with a plurality of insertion holes 220 of the flexible sheet 22, thereby fixing the first end of the flexible sheet 22 in the first chamber.

[0102] To improve the structural strength of the mounting base 21, a structural reinforcement 215 is provided in the first chamber and / or the second chamber. For example, the structural reinforcement 215 may include multiple reinforcing ribs arranged in a first direction in the second chamber.

[0103] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the flexible handle 20 is detachably mounted on the door body 10. When the flexible handle 20 is damaged and needs to be replaced, or when the flexible handle 20 needs to be cleaned, the flexible handle 20 can be removed from the door body 10.

[0104] like Figures 9-11 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the door body 10 includes an inner door 11 and an outer door 12, the outer door 12 is located outside the inner door 11, and a portion of the flexible handle 20 is located between the outer door 12 and the inner door 11.

[0105] In an embodiment where the flexible handle 20 includes a flexible sheet 22 and a mounting base 21, the mounting base 21 is located between the inner door 11 and the outer door 12, thereby concealing and protecting the mounting base 21, while the second end of the flexible sheet 22 is exposed on the door body 10, without affecting user use.

[0106] The mounting base 21 and the door body 10 can be connected together by snap-fit, adhesive, welding, or fasteners. Specifically, the mounting base 21 can be directly fixed to the side of the outer door 12 facing the inner door 11, or directly fixed to the side of the inner door 11 facing the outer door 12, or connected to both the outer door 12 and the inner door 11.

[0107] In the above technical solution, by setting the door body 10 to include an inner door 11 and an outer door 12, a portion of the flexible handle 20 can be placed between the outer door 12 and the inner door 11. On the one hand, the connection position between the flexible handle 20 and the door body 10 can be hidden, making the appearance of the door assembly 100 flat and beautiful. On the other hand, the connection position between the flexible handle 20 and the door body 10 can be protected, ensuring the connection reliability between the flexible handle 20 and the door body 10, thereby improving the reliability of the door assembly 100.

[0108] like Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, in some embodiments, the inner door 11 and / or the outer door 12 are provided with mounting grooves 101, and the flexible handle 20 has a connecting part 23. The connecting part 23 is adapted to be inserted into the mounting groove 101 along a third direction, which is the thickness direction of the door body 10 and is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0109] The connecting part 23 is inserted into the mounting groove 101 to prevent the flexible handle 20 from moving relative to the door body 10 in the first direction.

[0110] Specifically, during assembly, the connecting part 23 of the flexible handle 20 can be inserted into the mounting groove 101 on the inner door 11 or the outer door 12 along a third direction. Then, the inner door 11 and the outer door 12 are combined together, thereby achieving the connection between the flexible handle 20 and the door body 10. The mounting groove 101 can restrict the movement of the flexible handle 20 relative to the door body 10 along a first direction, while the inner door 11 and the outer door 12 cooperate to restrict the movement of the flexible handle 20 relative to the door body 10 along a third direction.

[0111] Therefore, by providing mounting grooves 101 on the inner door 11 and / or the outer door 12, the connecting part 23 of the flexible handle 20 can be engaged with the mounting grooves 101, thereby fixing the flexible handle 20 to the door body 10.

[0112] In some examples, the mounting groove 101 has a notch at one end along the first direction, and the size of the notch in the second direction is smaller than the size of the connecting part 23 in the second direction. The first, second, and third directions are arranged perpendicularly to each other. Setting the size of the notch in the second direction to be smaller than the size of the connecting part 23 in the second direction can prevent the connecting part 23 from disengaging from the mounting groove 101 along the first direction.

[0113] In some examples, the connecting part 23 can be a separately provided magnetic element, which is connected to the mounting base 21 of the flexible handle 20. The door body 10 is provided with a magnetic mating part, which is connected to the magnetic element to further ensure the reliability of the connection between the flexible handle 20 and the door body 10.

[0114] like Figure 9 and Figure 13 As shown, in some specific examples, the outer door 12 includes a reinforcing plate 121 and a door panel 122, with the door panel 122 and the inner door 11 arranged opposite each other. The reinforcing plate 121 is disposed between the door panel 122 and the inner door 11, and the flexible handle 20 is disposed between the reinforcing plate 121 and the inner door 11. By configuring the outer door 12 to include the reinforcing plate 121 and the door panel 122, the structural strength of the door body 10 can be improved.
