Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of clothing processing equipment technology, specifically to a box structure and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, to meet users' needs for zoned washing, some garment processing equipment is equipped with dual or multiple drums, all housed within the cabinet. Currently, assembling the cabinet is relatively inconvenient, which affects assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a box structure and clothing processing equipment, which is easy to assemble and has high assembly efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this disclosure provides a box structure, including: a box body; and a suspension member for suspending a first cylinder and a second cylinder of a clothing processing device. The suspension member has a buckle on one side of its left and right sides and a limiting opening on the other side. The buckle is inserted into the box body. The box body includes a limiting member disposed in the limiting opening.

[0005] With the above technical solution, when installing the suspension component onto the housing, one side of the suspension component can be first inserted into the housing using a snap-fit ​​to achieve initial positioning and installation. Then, the limiting opening on the other side of the suspension component is engaged with the limiting component of the housing. Specifically, the limiting component is snapped into the limiting opening, thus ensuring that both sides of the suspension component are engaged with the housing, allowing the suspension component to be installed on the housing. This process, through the quick insertion of the snap-fit ​​into the housing, enables rapid, accurate, and efficient positioning of the suspension component, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments. The limiting component and limiting opening are then engaged to achieve basic fixation of the suspension component's position. This allows for convenient and quick installation of the suspension component onto the housing. Therefore, the housing structure of this disclosure is easy to assemble and has high assembly efficiency. In addition, compared with the implementation method of setting buckles on both sides of the suspension component, the above-mentioned arrangement of this disclosure can avoid the situation where the buckle on the other side damages the box after the insertion on one side is completed. That is, the use of the limiting port can avoid setting buckles on the other side of the suspension component, thereby preventing damage to the box.

[0006] In some possible implementations, the limiting member is constructed as a limiting post extending vertically, with the limiting opening penetrating the suspension member vertically. This allows downward pressure to be applied directly to the other side of the suspension member, or, with the aid of the suspension member's gravity, the limiting post can easily pass into the limiting opening without angle adjustment, making operation convenient. Furthermore, the limiting fit between the limiting opening and the limiting member also provides limiting for the suspension member in the left-right and / or front-back directions, improving the reliability of the suspension member after installation and preventing it from shifting.

[0007] In some possible implementations, the limiting port has a first notch for the limiting post to be disposed within the limiting port. This allows the limiting post to be engaged within the limiting port via the first notch, eliminating the need for precise vertical alignment or repeated adjustments to the angle and position of the suspension component, thus reducing alignment difficulty.

[0008] In some possible implementations, at least part of the snap-fit ​​is bent to form a downwardly extending insertion portion, and the housing has a slot for the insertion portion to be inserted. This allows the insertion portion to engage with the slot on the housing in the vertical direction, enabling the operator to directly press down on the suspension member or use the weight of the suspension member itself to secure the insertion portion to the slot, thus reducing operational difficulty. Furthermore, the engagement of the insertion portion with the slot provides front-to-back and left-to-right limiting for the suspension member, helping to maintain its position.

[0009] In some possible implementations, the suspension member is partially recessed inward on one of its left or right sides to form a mounting opening, at which the buckle is provided, and the insertion portion extends downward out of the mounting opening. In this way, the suspension member structure circumferentially around the mounting opening provides protection for the insertion portion, reducing the risk of deformation from impact.

[0010] In some possible implementations, the mounting port has a second notch, and the snap fastener is connected to the side of the mounting port opposite to the second notch. This allows the operator to observe the mating status of the snap fastener and the slot through the second notch, avoiding obstruction of vision and hindering operation, thus improving assembly efficiency.

[0011] In some possible implementations, one of the first and second notches is positioned to the left and the other to the right. This allows the operator to directly identify the positions of the mounting openings and buckles corresponding to the first and second notches via the sides, preventing misalignment of the hanging component's buckle with the housing's limiting components.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the suspension member includes a first suspension part, a connecting part, and a second suspension part arranged in a left-right direction. The first suspension part is used to suspend a first cylinder, and the second suspension part is used to suspend a second cylinder. The connecting part connects the first suspension part and the second suspension part. One of the first suspension part and the second suspension part is provided with the buckle, and the other is provided with the limiting opening. The connecting part is provided with a stiffness-reducing part, and the stiffness-reducing part includes at least one notch. In this way, by utilizing the notch, the solid structure corresponding to the notch portion of the connecting part can be removed, thereby reducing the stiffness of the connecting part by changing its geometry. Removing the solid structure corresponding to the notch portion of the connecting part can prevent resonance between this solid structure and the first and second cylinders. Thus, by reducing the stiffness of the connecting part and removing the solid structure corresponding to the notch portion of the connecting part, resonance between the connecting part and the first and second cylinders can be effectively reduced or even avoided. When the first and second cylinders rotate at low speed, this setting can make the first natural frequency of the connecting part far away from the vibration frequency of the first and second cylinders during low-speed rotation, thereby improving the stability of the garment processing equipment when the first and second cylinders rotate at low speed and reducing the noise of the garment processing equipment during operation.

[0013] In some possible implementations, the notches are provided on both the front and rear sides of the connecting portion, and the buckle and / or the limiting hole are positioned between the two notches in the front-rear direction. This prevents deformation at the notches from being transmitted to the buckle or the limiting hole, thus affecting the reliability of the connection between the suspension component and the housing.

[0014] In some possible implementations, the first suspension part is provided with a first connection point and a second connection point arranged in a front-rear direction, and the first suspension part is used to connect to the first cylinder through the first connection point and the second connection point; the second suspension part is provided with a third connection point and a fourth connection point arranged in a front-rear direction, and the second suspension part is used to connect to the second cylinder through the third connection point and the fourth connection point; the portion of the suspension member located between the first connection point and the second connection point, and the portion located between the third connection point and the fourth connection point, is constructed as the connection part.

[0015] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, a garment processing apparatus is provided, including the housing structure described above.

[0016] In some possible implementations, the garment processing device includes a third cylinder, with the first and second cylinders respectively located at the upper left and upper right of the third cylinder. This allows the three cylinders to be used separately to process different types of garments, facilitating garment sorting and improving ease of use.

[0017] It should be understood that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Other features and advantages of this disclosure will be described in detail in the subsequent detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0021] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," and "right" are used based on the definition of a garment handling device. The up / down direction can be referenced to the direction of gravity of the garment handling device or hanging component; the left / right direction can be referenced to the width direction of the garment handling device; and in the front / back direction, "front" can be understood as the side of the garment handling device facing the user, and "back" as the side away from the user. The gate of the garment handling device is typically located on the front side of the device. "Inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component. The terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another and do not indicate sequence or importance. Furthermore, in the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements, which will not be repeated here.

[0022] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a box structure is provided, which includes: a box body 1; and a hanging member 2 for hanging a first cylinder 3 and a second cylinder 4 of a clothing processing device. The hanging member 2 has a buckle 21 on one side and a limiting port 22 on the other side. The buckle 21 is inserted into the box body 1. The box body 1 includes a limiting member 11, which is disposed in the limiting port 22.

[0023] Through the above technical solution, when installing the suspension component 2 onto the housing 1, one side of the suspension component 2 can be first inserted into the housing 1 via the snap fastener 21 to achieve initial positioning and installation of the suspension component 2. Then, the limiting port 22 on the other side of the suspension component 2 is engaged with the limiting component 11 of the housing 1. Specifically, the limiting component 11 is inserted into the limiting port 22, so that both sides of the suspension component are engaged with the housing, thereby allowing the suspension component 2 to be installed on the housing 1. In this process, the quick insertion of the snap fastener 21 into the housing enables rapid, accurate, and efficient positioning of the suspension component 2 without repeated adjustments. Then, the limiting component 11 and the limiting port 22 are engaged to achieve basic fixation of the position of the suspension component 2. In this way, the suspension component can be conveniently and quickly installed on the housing. Therefore, the housing structure of this disclosure is easy to assemble and has high assembly efficiency. In addition, compared with the embodiment in which buckles 21 are provided on both the left and right sides of the suspension member, the above-mentioned arrangement of this disclosure can avoid the situation where the buckle 21 on the other side damages the box 1 after the insertion on one side is completed. That is, by using the limiting port 22, the buckle 21 on the other side of the suspension member 2 can be avoided, thereby preventing damage to the box 1.

[0024] In some embodiments, the left and right sides of the suspension member 2 can overlap the housing 1. In this way, after the suspension member 2 and the housing 1 are installed by means of the buckle 21 and the limiting port 22, the parts of the left and right sides of the suspension member 2 that overlap with the housing 1 can also be fixedly connected to the housing 1 by bolts to improve the connection strength between the suspension member 2 and the housing 1.

[0025] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the limiting member 11 can be constructed as a limiting post extending in the vertical direction, with the limiting opening 22 penetrating the suspension member 2 in the vertical direction. In this way, after one side of the suspension member 2 is fixed to the housing 1 via the snap fastener 21, downward pressure can be directly applied to the other side of the suspension member 2, or the limiting post can be inserted into the limiting opening 22 by the gravity of the suspension member 2, without the need for angle adjustment, making operation convenient and improving the assembly efficiency of the housing 1. Furthermore, the limiting fit between the limiting opening 22 and the limiting member 11 can also provide limiting for the suspension member 2 in the left-right and / or front-back directions, improving the reliability of the suspension member 2 after installation and preventing it from shifting.

[0026] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the limiting port 22 has a first notch 221, which is used for the limiting post to be set in the limiting port 22. In this way, after the suspension member 2 is initially fixed to the housing 1 by the buckle 21, the limiting post can be inserted into the limiting port 22 through the first notch 221. It is not necessary to precisely align with the limiting port 22 in the vertical direction or repeatedly adjust the angle and position of the suspension member 2, which helps to reduce the difficulty of alignment and operation, thereby reducing assembly time and improving assembly efficiency.

[0027] The first notch 221 is provided to allow for flexible adjustment of the assembly sequence according to the actual situation. For example, the limiting post can be slid into the limiting port 22 along the first notch 221 first, and then the buckle 21 can be inserted into the box 1 to install and fix the suspension component 2. This disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0028] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 4 and 5As shown, at least a portion of the snap fastener 21 is bent to form a downwardly extending insertion portion 211, and the housing 1 has a slot 12 for the insertion portion 211 to be inserted into. In this way, the insertion portion 211 can be inserted into the slot 12 on the housing 1 in the vertical direction, allowing the operator to directly press down on the suspension member 2, or utilize the weight of the suspension member 2 itself, to achieve insertion and fixation of the insertion portion 211 and the slot 12, which helps reduce operational difficulty and improve assembly efficiency. Simultaneously, because the insertion portion 211 extends downward, it prevents stress concentration caused by horizontal or inclined insertion, thus preventing deformation or failure of the insertion portion 211, and improving the reliability of the connection between the suspension member 2 and the housing 1. Furthermore, the engagement of the insertion portion 211 and the slot 12 also provides front-to-back and left-to-right limiting for the suspension member 2, helping to ensure that the position of the suspension member 2 remains unchanged.

[0029] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the suspension member 2 is partially recessed on one of its left and right sides to form a mounting opening 23. A buckle 21 is provided at the mounting opening 23, and the insertion part 211 extends downward out of the mounting opening 23. In this way, since the recessed part of the suspension member 2 forms the mounting opening 23 for the buckle 21, the structure of the suspension member 2 around the mounting opening 23 can provide protection for the insertion part 211, reducing the risk of the insertion part 211 being deformed by impact. Compared with the buckle 21 protruding from the side of the suspension member 2, it can effectively improve the connection strength of the buckle 21, thereby extending the service life of the buckle 21 and ensuring the reliability of the connection between the suspension member 2 and the housing 1.

[0030] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting port 23 has a second notch 231, and a snap fastener 21 is connected to the side of the mounting port 23 opposite to the second notch 231. This allows the operator to observe the mating status of the snap fastener 21 and the slot 12 through the second notch 231, avoiding obstruction of vision and hindering operation, thus improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the second notch 231 provides operating space for the operator's hands, allowing the operator to adjust the position of the snap fastener 21 according to the mating status to ensure that the snap fastener 21 can mate with the slot 12 on the housing 1, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0031] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, one of the first notch 221 and the second notch 231 is positioned to the left, and the other to the right. This allows the operator to directly identify the positions of the mounting opening 23 and the buckle 21 corresponding to the first notch 221 and the second notch 231 respectively through the side, avoiding misalignment between the buckle 21 of the suspension member 2 and the limiting member 11 of the housing 1, which would affect assembly efficiency. Furthermore, it facilitates the stamping and forming of the sides of the suspension member 2, improving the processing efficiency of the first notch 221 and the second notch 231. In addition, during installation, the suspension member can be slid to the right so that the limiting member 11 is positioned in the limiting opening 22, and then the buckle 21 is inserted into the slot 12. This allows for assembly of the suspension member 2 from the left and right directions, making assembly more convenient and efficient.

[0032] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the suspension component 2 includes a first suspension part 24, a connecting part 25, and a second suspension part 26 arranged in the left-right direction. The first suspension part 24 is used to suspend the first cylinder 3, and the second suspension part 26 is used to suspend the second cylinder 4. The connecting part 25 connects the first suspension part 24 and the second suspension part 26. One of the first suspension part 24 and the second suspension part 26 is provided with a buckle 21, and the other is provided with a limiting port 22. The connecting part 25 is provided with a stiffness-reducing part, which includes at least one notch 251.

[0033] In this way, the first suspension part 24 and the second suspension part 26 can be used to suspend the first cylinder 3 and the second cylinder 4 respectively, so as to support and dampen the first cylinder 3 and the second cylinder 4. By providing a buckle 21 in one of the first suspension part 24 and the second suspension part 26 and a limiting port 22 in the other, it is beneficial to adapt to the weight of the first cylinder 3 and the second cylinder 4, so as to ensure the reliability of the connection between the first suspension part 24 and the second suspension part 26 connecting the first cylinder 3 and the second cylinder 4 and the housing 1, and to prevent the suspension part 2 from shifting.

[0034] Furthermore, by utilizing the notch 251, the solid structure of the connecting part 25 corresponding to the notch 251 can be removed. This reduces the stiffness of the connecting part 25 by changing its geometry. Removing the solid structure of the connecting part 25 corresponding to the notch 251 prevents resonance between this solid structure and the first cylinder 3 and the second cylinder 4. Thus, by reducing the stiffness of the connecting part 25 and removing the solid structure of the connecting part 25 corresponding to the notch 251, resonance between the connecting part 25 and the first cylinder 3 and the second cylinder 4 can be effectively reduced or even avoided. When the first cylinder 3 and the second cylinder 4 rotate at low speed, this arrangement allows the first natural frequency of the connecting part 25 to be far away from the vibration frequency of the first cylinder 3 and the second cylinder 4 during low-speed rotation, improving the stability of the garment processing equipment during low-speed rotation and reducing the noise of the garment processing equipment during operation.

[0035] It should be noted that the notch 251 in this disclosure can be understood as an open structure on one side, that is, the circumference of the notch 251 is not closed, that is, the outline of the notch 251 does not form a ring.

[0036] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, notches 251 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the connecting part 25. In the front-rear direction, the buckle 21 and / or the limiting port 22 are provided between the two notches 251. In this way, by providing notches 251 on both the front and rear sides, stress concentration is avoided around the notch 251 on the front side or the notch 251 on the rear side, thereby avoiding the risk of stress concentration at a single location, which could easily lead to deformation or cracking of the connecting part 25 at the notch 251. By providing the buckle 21 and / or the limiting port 22 between the two notches 251, deformation at the notch 251 can be prevented from being transmitted to the buckle 21 or the limiting port 22, thus affecting the reliability of the connection between the suspension member 2 and the housing 1.

[0037] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the first suspension part 24 is provided with a first connection point 10 and a second connection point 20 arranged in the front-rear direction. The first suspension part 24 is used to connect with the first cylinder 3 through the first connection point 10 and the second connection point 20. The second suspension part 26 is provided with a third connection point 30 and a fourth connection point 40 arranged in the front-rear direction. The second suspension part 26 is used to connect with the second cylinder 4 through the second connection point 20 and the fourth connection point 40. The portion of the suspension member 2 located between the first connection point 10 and the second connection point 20, and between the third connection point 30 and the fourth connection point 40, is constructed as a connection part 25.

[0038] In some implementations, reference Figure 6 As shown, the first cylinder 3 and the second cylinder 4 can be symmetrically arranged about a preset centerline 100, and the notch 251 itself can also be symmetrically arranged about the preset centerline. In this way, by symmetrically arranging the notch 251 about the preset centerline 100, the stiffness of the connecting part 25 about the preset centerline 100 can be symmetrically distributed. Thus, when either the first cylinder 3 or the second cylinder 4 rotates at low speed, this arrangement can reduce or even avoid resonance between the cylinder and the connecting part 25.

[0039] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, a garment processing apparatus is provided, including the housing structure described above. This garment processing apparatus possesses all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned housing structure, which will not be elaborated upon herein.

[0040] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 1 As shown, the garment processing equipment includes a third cylinder 5, with a first cylinder 3 and a second cylinder 4 located at the upper left and upper right of the third cylinder 5, respectively. In this way, the three cylinders can be used to process different types of garments, facilitating garment sorting and improving ease of use.

[0041] The volumes of the first tub 3 and the second tub 4 can both be smaller than the volume of the third tub 5. Thus, the third tub 5 can be used to wash larger or heavier garments, while the first tub 3 and the second tub 4 can be used to wash smaller or lighter garments, allowing for garment processing according to the tub volume as needed. This disclosure does not impose specific limitations in this regard.

[0042] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0043] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0044] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
