[0044] The embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this application, but should not be used to limit the scope of this application.

[0045] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0046] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0047] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0049] In related technologies, home appliances are all pursuing embedded design, flatly embedding and hiding appliances and furniture; for example, the door of a traditional drum washer-dryer is the most prominent part of the machine. When the door assembly is made into a flat embedded design, the traditional exposed hinge design (note: the hinge is installed on the outside of the front door panel) cannot meet the door opening travel trajectory. At this time, embedded hinge assembly is developed, that is, the hinge assembly is installed behind the front door panel.

[0050] When using embedded hinge components, a large hole needs to be made in the front door panel to accommodate the movement trajectory of the hinge plate. This hole has to be quite large to accommodate the hinge plate's movement. When the user opens the washer-dryer door to put clothes in, this large hole is not only unsightly but also poses a significant safety hazard, such as small items falling out or children or adults getting their hands pinched. It is neither aesthetically pleasing nor safe.

[0051] This application provides a door assembly and a clothing processing device to solve the problems of poor aesthetics and security in existing door assemblies. The following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1-8 Please provide an explanation.

[0052] The door assembly provided in the embodiments of this application refers to... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the device includes a front door panel 100, a door body 200, a hinge assembly 300, and a push-block assembly 400. The front door panel 100 has a retrieval opening 110 and a clearance opening 120. The door body 200 is rotatably mounted on the front door panel 100 via the hinge assembly 300, and is used to open or close the retrieval opening 110. The hinge assembly 300 includes a hinge base 310 and a hinge rotating plate 320. The hinge base 310 is disposed on the front door panel 100, and the hinge rotating plate 320 is rotatably connected to the hinge base 310. The hinge rotating plate 320 at least partially passes through the clearance opening 120 and is connected to the door body 200. The push-block assembly 400 is rotatably mounted on the hinge base 310 and is used to block the clearance opening 120 when the door body 200 is in the open state.

[0053] In this embodiment, the front door panel 100 is the panel structure on the front side of the clothing handling equipment. The front door panel 100 has a retrieval opening 110 for convenient user access to and from clothing, and a clearance opening 120 for avoiding the hinge assembly 300. The door panel can be the main door leaf part including the roller observation window, sealing ring and other internal structures. The door body 200 is connected to the front door panel 100 through the hinge assembly 300 and can rotate relative to the retrieval opening 110, thereby opening or closing the retrieval opening 110.

[0054] The hinge assembly 300 adopts an embedded design. The hinge base 310 is installed on the inner side of the front door panel 100 near the clearance opening 120. The hinge rotating plate 320 passes through the clearance opening 120, and one end of the hinge rotating plate 320 is rotatably connected to the hinge base 310, while the other end is connected to the edge of the door body 200, so as to realize the rotation of the door body 200.

[0055] The door-blocking assembly 400 is also rotatably mounted on the hinge seat 310, designed to rotate within a specific angle range with the rotation of the hinge plate 320, and its shape and size are designed to cover the clearance opening 120. When the door 200 is closed, the door-blocking assembly 400 may be positioned to one side of the clearance opening 120, not obstructing the clearance opening 120, thus not hindering the initial position of the hinge plate 320. When the door 200 is closed, the door-blocking assembly 400 is rotated by linkage, moving to the clearance opening 120 to block the clearance opening 120.

[0056] In this embodiment, the door assembly introduces a shielding and pushing component 400 that is linked to the hinge seat 310. When the door 200 is opened, it automatically blocks the clearance opening 120 opened for the movement of the embedded hinge, which greatly improves the visual aesthetics of the door 200 when it is open. Furthermore, the physical shielding significantly improves the safety of use, preventing items from falling and fingers from being pinched.

[0057] In one alternative implementation, the structure Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the door assembly also includes a door lock assembly 500, which is located on the side of the front door panel 100 opposite to the hinge seat 310. When the door lock assembly 500 switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, the push assembly 400 is adapted to push the hinge plate 320 to rotate, so as to drive the door 200 to open at a preset angle.

[0058] It should be noted that, in the existing technology, after the flush-mounted door 200 is unlocked, the door 200 remains flush against the front door panel 100 without any gap, and does not provide sufficient space for the user to open the door. The user needs to strain to insert their fingers into a tiny gap to find the edge of the door 200 before they can begin to open the door, which is inconvenient.

[0059] In this embodiment, when the door lock assembly 500 is unlocked, the push-block assembly 400 can rotate and push the hinge plate 320 to rotate. While blocking the clearance opening 120, it drives the door body 200 to rotate to open at a certain angle, so that the user has enough space to open the door, which significantly improves the convenience of the user opening the door.

[0060] In one optional implementation, combined with Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the door-shielding assembly 400 includes a pivot 420, a door-shielding plate 430, and a torsion spring 440. The pivot 420 is rotatably mounted on the hinge seat 310; the door-shielding plate 430 is mounted on the pivot 420; and the torsion spring 440 is sleeved on the pivot 420 so that the door-shielding plate 430 abuts against the hinge pivot 320; and when the door 200 is in the closed state, the torsion spring 440 is in a torsion state.

[0061] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 420 is rotatably mounted on the hinge seat 310. The rotating shaft 420 can rotate around its own axis, and its rotation center is fixed on the hinge seat 310. As the rotation hub of the shielding assembly 400, all components connected to the rotating shaft 420 (shielding plate 430, torsion spring 440) can rotate together with the rotating shaft 420.

[0062] The push-block plate 430 is directly mounted on the pivot 420, and can be designed as a plate-like structure with a certain area and shape to effectively cover the clearance opening 120 and have the ability to push other hinge plates 320. During a specific stage of unlocking the door lock 510, the push-block plate 430 can generate a pushing force to rotate the hinge plates 320, thereby causing the door 200 to open to a preset angle. When the door 200 is opened to a certain angle, the push-block plate 430 moves to the clearance opening 120 position, covering the clearance opening 120, improving aesthetics and security.

[0063] The torsion spring 440 is sleeved on the pivot 420. The design of the torsion spring 440 enables it to generate torque. It can be adjusted so that when the door 200 is closed, the torsion spring 440 is in a torsional state, storing a certain amount of elastic potential energy, and applying a torque to the pivot 420, so that the push plate 430 can actively maintain contact with the hinge plate 320.

[0064] Since the torsion spring 440 is under compression when the door is closed and keeps the push plate 430 in contact with the hinge plate 320, when the door lock 510 is unlocked, the constraint condition disappears, and the torsion spring 440 will immediately release its stored elastic potential energy, drive the pivot 420 and the push plate 430 to rotate, and forcefully push the hinge plate 320, so that the door 200 opens to a certain angle.

[0065] For example, combined Figures 1-6 As shown, the opening and closing process of the door 200 can include the following three stages:

[0066] Locking Phase: The door 200 is in a fully closed position and locked by the door lock assembly 500. Under the locking mechanism of the door lock assembly 500, the hinge plate 320 applies a pushing force to the push plate 430, which is in contact with it. Since the push plate 430 is mounted on the pivot 420 connected to the hinge seat 310, this pushing force causes the pivot 420 and the push plate 430 to rotate at a certain angle. At the same time, the torsion spring 440 sleeved on the pivot 420 is in a compressed (torsional) state to maintain the contact between the push plate 430 and the hinge plate 320 and to balance the pushing force from the pivot plate, thus accumulating a certain amount of elastic potential energy.

[0067] Unlocking Phase: After the door lock assembly 500 releases its lock on the door 200, the torsion spring 440, which was previously under the thrust of the hinge plate 320 and in a torsional state, is released from its constraint. The torsion spring 440 quickly releases its stored elastic potential energy, generating a reverse torsional torque, driving the pivot 420 and the push plate 430 mounted on it to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotating push plate 430 pushes the hinge plate 320 according to a preset trajectory and angle. After being pushed by this force, the hinge plate 320 also begins to rotate around the hinge seat 310, thereby causing the door 200 to rotate. This increases the gap between the door 200 and the front door panel 100, allowing the door 200 to open to a preset small angle (e.g., 5-10 degrees) sufficient for the user to insert their fingers for operation, making it convenient for the user to open the door. During the opening of the door 200, the position of the push plate 430 changes accordingly as the pivot 420 rotates, thus blocking the clearance opening 120 and achieving both aesthetic and safety goals.

[0068] Closing Phase: The user pushes the door 200 by hand, moving it in the closing direction. As the door 200 is pushed closed, the hinge plate 320 connecting it to the door 200 also rotates in the opposite direction. At this time, the rotating hinge plate 320 pushes the push-block plate 430, causing it and the pivot 420 to rotate in the opposite direction to unlocking. As the push-block plate 430 is pushed and rotated, its movement transmits force to the pivot 420, causing the torsion spring 440 fitted on the pivot 420 to be twisted again, accumulating energy to prepare for the next unlocking. This effectively solves the problem of operating space during unlocking of the flush-mounted door 200 and continuously ensures the aesthetics and safety of the clearance opening 120.

[0069] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, the push plate 430 is provided with a first abutting part 431. When the door 200 is in the open state, the first abutting part 431 abuts against the hinge plate 320.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first abutment portion 431 can be a protrusion or a curved portion. As the door 200 continues to open, the push plate 430 also continues to rotate under the push of the torsion spring 440. When the door 200 reaches its maximum opening angle, the push plate 430 also rotates to its designed maximum blocking position. At this time, the first abutment portion 431 just contacts and abuts against the hinge plate 320, preventing the push plate 430 from rotating excessively, thereby ensuring that it can stably and completely block the clearance hole.

[0071] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8 The push-off assembly 400 shown also includes a fixing plate 410, which is mounted on the hinge seat 310. The fixing plate 410 has mounting seats 411 at both ends, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 420 are respectively sleeved on the mounting seats 411 on both sides.

[0072] In this embodiment, the fixing plate 410 can be installed on the hinge seat 310 by screws, clips, or other fastening methods. The fixing plate 410 is a plate-shaped part with a certain rigidity. Mounting seats 411 are provided at both ends of the fixing plate 410. The mounting seats 411 can be precisely machined holes or slots, or specially designed bearing seat structures. The two ends of the rotating shaft 420 are fitted into the mounting seats 411 on both sides of the fixing plate 410, providing precise axial positioning and radial support for the rotating shaft 420, thus enhancing the rotational stability of the rotating shaft 420. The fixing plate 410 and the mounting seats 411 jointly share the force of the torsion spring 440, the frictional force, and the thrust from the push plate 430 that the rotating shaft 420 bears during rotation, improving the load-bearing capacity of the entire push assembly 400.

[0073] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the fixing plate 410 is provided with at least one first reinforcing rib 412 to improve the deformation resistance and overall reliability of the fixing plate 410.

[0074] In one optional implementation, combined with Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the push-off plate 430 is provided with at least one second reinforcing rib 432. The second reinforcing rib 432 is located on the side of the push-off plate 430 facing away from the hinge plate 320. The second reinforcing rib 432 is used to enhance the rigidity of the push-off plate 430, reduce the possibility of bending during long-term use, and improve structural strength. Furthermore, placing the second reinforcing rib 432 on the back side also helps to improve the overall flatness and aesthetics of the push-off plate 430.

[0075] In one optional embodiment, there are multiple torsion springs 440, and the multiple torsion springs 440 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the rotating shaft 420. On the one hand, this provides a more stable restoring force, making the push plate 430 more stable and smooth during the opening and closing process. On the other hand, it can make the torque distribution on the rotating shaft 420 more uniform, so that the push plate 430 provides sufficient thrust to drive the hinge plate 320 to rotate in the initial unlocking stage.

[0076] In one optional implementation, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the door lock assembly 500 includes a door lock 510 and a door hook 520. The door lock 510 is disposed on the front door panel 100, and the door hook 520 is disposed on the door body 200. When the door body 200 is in the closed state, the door hook 520 is engaged with the door lock 510. When the user pushes the door body 200 to the closing direction and turns it to the fully closed position, the door lock 510 and the door hook 520 engage, thereby locking the door body 200 with the door lock assembly 500. When the user presses the door body 200 above the door hook 520, the door lock 510 unlocks, and the door hook 520 disengages from the locking hook position within the door lock 510, thereby unlocking the door body 200.

[0077] In one optional implementation, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the hinge plate 320 includes: a first connecting section 321, which is rotatably connected to the hinge seat 310; a push-off assembly 400 abutting against the first connecting section 321; a second connecting section 322, which is used to connect to the door body 200; and a transition section 323, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the first connecting section 321 and the second connecting section 322.

[0078] The first connecting section 321 is the direct contact surface where the push-blocking assembly 400 applies force. When the push-blocking plate 430 rotates, it directly abuts against this first connecting section 321, thereby transmitting force to the hinge plate 320 and driving it to rotate. The second connecting end is designed to connect with the door body 200. The specific connection method can be bolt fixing, snap-fit ​​connection, or other forms of rigid connection to ensure that the hinge plate 320 can reliably drive the door body 200 to rotate together. The transition section 323 is located between the first connecting section 321 and the second connecting section 322, serving as a connection and transition to ensure that the entire hinge plate 320 can rotate smoothly and steadily, avoiding interference.

[0079] The door assembly provided in this application includes a front door panel 100, a door body 200, a hinge assembly 300, and a push-block assembly 400. The front door panel 100 has a retrieval opening 110 and a clearance opening 120. The door body 200 is rotatably mounted on the front door panel 100 via the hinge assembly 300 and is used to open or close the retrieval opening 110. The hinge assembly 300 includes a hinge base 310 and a hinge rotating plate 320. The hinge base 310 is disposed on the front door panel 100, and the hinge rotating plate 320 is rotatably connected to the hinge base 310. The hinge rotating plate 320 at least partially passes through the clearance opening 120 and is connected to the door body 200. The push-block assembly 400 is rotatably mounted on the hinge base 310 and is used to block the clearance opening 120 when the door body 200 is in the open state.
