[0030] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 The left-right direction includes both left-to-right and right-to-left directions for the garment processing equipment. The front-back direction includes both front-to-back and back-to-front directions for the garment processing equipment. The up-down direction includes both top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top directions for the garment processing equipment; the up-down direction is the height direction.

[0031] This application provides a garment processing device; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The garment processing equipment includes a housing 10 and a control device 20. The control device 20 is located in the housing 10, meaning that the user can see the control device 20 and control the operation of the garment processing equipment by operating the control device 20.

[0032] In some embodiments, the control device 20 includes an electronic control component and a visible portion located on the housing 10. The electronic control component can serve as an interaction signal between the user and the garment processing equipment. In some embodiments, the control device 20 includes a portion disposed on the exterior of the housing 10 that enables user interaction, such as a portion where the user can operate the control device 20 to control the operation, start / stop, or program selection of the garment processing equipment, and / or a portion where the user can read information from the control device 20, as well as a structure installed on the exterior of the housing 10 for supporting / installing / accommodating / covering the above-mentioned portion, such as the protective cover 212 mentioned below.

[0033] In some implementations, the control device 20 includes a display module 21. The display module 21 can be used to display content for the user to view; in other implementations, the display module 21 can not only display content, but the user can also operate a portion of the display module to select the processing procedure for the clothing, for example, the display module can be accessed via a touchscreen or touch buttons for the user to select.

[0034] In some implementations, the controls include at least two knobs 22.

[0035] In some embodiments, the knob 22 includes a rotating portion 221, which is rotatable relative to the housing 10. That is, the knob 22 selects a program or adjusts parameters by rotating the rotating portion 221, which is used for user operation. In some embodiments, the knob 22 may include not only the rotating portion 221 but also a display portion.

[0036] For example, the rotation axis of the rotating part 221 is parallel to the front-back direction of the garment handling device.

[0037] It should be noted that the rotating part 221 refers to the outer surface of the knob 22, which is suitable for the user to grip and rotate. The knob 22 may also include a rotating shaft, a bracket for mounting the rotating part 221, and other structures that rotate synchronously with the knob 22.

[0038] It should be noted that, in the orthographic projection onto a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment processing equipment, the projected outline of the rotating part 221 can be circular or non-circular, such as elliptical or polygonal.

[0039] In some embodiments, the display module 21 is at least partially disposed between at least two knobs 22 in orthographic projection onto a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the housing 10.

[0040] In this embodiment, by at least partially placing the display module 21 between at least two knobs 22, it helps to make the knobs 22 and the display module 21 structurally compact, reducing the area occupied by the control device 20 on the housing 10, and at the same time helping to improve the visual integrity of the clothing processing equipment, that is, to make the appearance more integrated, which helps to improve the appearance of the clothing processing equipment.

[0041] For example, in the orthographic projection of a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the housing 10, at least two knobs 22 are arranged adjacent to the display module 21, that is, all knobs 22 are arranged adjacent to the display module 21. It should be noted that "adjacent arrangement" means that in the orthographic projection of a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the housing 10, the projection of the knob 22 and the projection of the display module 21 at least partially overlap, or the distance between the projection of the knob 22 and the projection of the display module 21 does not exceed 5mm.

[0042] In this embodiment, the front-to-back direction of the box 10 is consistent with the front-to-back direction of the clothing processing device.

[0043] It is understandable that there are no restrictions on the type of clothing processing equipment, such as washing machines, washer-dryer combos, dryers, etc.

[0044] For example, the garment handling device includes a cylindrical assembly having a garment handling chamber for holding garments.

[0045] The specific structure of the cylindrical assembly is not limited. Exemplarily, the cylindrical assembly includes an outer tub and an inner tub, with the inner tub rotatably disposed within the outer tub. That is, the outer tub is fitted over the inner tub. The outer tub is used to hold water, and the inner tub is used to hold clothing. In this embodiment, the inner tub holds water through the outer tub; the inner tub can also be referred to as a perforated inner tub. Of course, the inner tub can also hold water on its own; this inner tub can also be referred to as a non-perforated inner tub. In some embodiments, there may only be an inner tub, without an outer tub.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the display module 21 includes a first display screen 211.

[0047] Figure 1 and Figure 4 The dashed lines in the diagram indicate the boundary of the first display screen 211.

[0048] It should be noted that a display screen is a human-computer interaction output device that converts electrical signals into visible optical information (text, images, video, data), such as an LCD screen, OLED screen, or TFT screen. In some implementations, the display screen can be a touch-enabled display screen.

[0049] In this embodiment, the display module 21 displays content through the first display screen 211.

[0050] In some implementations, the first display screen 211 is used to display at least one of a demonstration video, a demonstration image, and a demonstration text.

[0051] Specifically, in the embodiment where the first display screen 211 is used to display a demonstration video, the demonstration video can be displayed by showing the principle, function, duration, advantages, etc. of the corresponding clothing processing procedure, which is more visually appealing, has a better user experience, and is more intuitive.

[0052] In an embodiment where the first display screen 211 is used to display demonstration images, the demonstration images can be switched and played one by one.

[0053] In an embodiment where the first display screen 211 is used to display presentation text, parameters, duration, etc., may be displayed.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first display screen 211 is used to display at least one of the functions, principles, advantages, and operating parameters of the garment processing mode.

[0055] Please refer to some implementation plans as well. Figure 5 and Figure 6The display module 21 also includes a protective cover plate 212, which is located on the front side of the first display screen 211 in the front-rear direction of the housing 10. In this way, the protective cover plate 212 forms a protection for the first display screen 211 to protect it from scratches and impacts.

[0056] The material of the protective cover 212 is not limited; for example, it can be tempered glass.

[0057] In some embodiments, the protective cover 212 extends along a first direction, and the edge of the protective cover 212 forms the edge of the display module 21. In orthographic projection onto a plane perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the housing 10, the edge of the knob 22 coincides with the edge of the display module 21. This helps reduce the shape requirements of the first display screen 211. In this embodiment, "coincidence" refers to design coincidence and / or visual coincidence, allowing for manufacturing errors or other errors. The error refers to the distance between the edge of the knob 22 and the edge of the display module 21 in orthographic projection onto a plane perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the housing 10 not exceeding 5 mm.

[0058] In some embodiments, at least two knobs 22 are arranged at intervals along a first direction.

[0059] "At least two knobs 22" means that the number of knobs 22 can be two, three, or more.

[0060] In this embodiment, two knobs 22 are used as an example for description. For ease of description, the two knobs 22 are named the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b. Two knobs 22 help to distribute functions, avoid logic overload of a single knob 22, and also help to improve the layout of the entire control device.

[0061] In some implementations, the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b can select different functions, for example, The first knob 22a corresponds to multiple first function items, that is, the first knob 22a can select one of the multiple first function items by rotating the rotating part 221.

[0062] The second knob 22b corresponds to a plurality of second function items, that is, the second knob 22b selects one of the plurality of second function items by rotating the rotating part 221.

[0063] It is understandable that the relationship between the first functional item and the second functional item is not limited; the first functional item and the second functional item may or may not be related.

[0064] In some implementation schemes, the first functional item may include washing and drying, while the second functional item may include specific washing items, such as care mode, blue oxygen mode, drying mode, etc.

[0065] For example, the rotation speed of the garment processing drum in the care mode is in a relatively low range.

[0066] Blue Oxygen Mode can be understood as a mode in which the electrolysis device is turned on during the clothing treatment process. It uses an electrode device to electrolyze water to achieve the effects of sterilization and preventing color bleeding.

[0067] The drying mode can be understood as the mode that turns on the hot air function during the garment processing. Among the various secondary functions corresponding to the drying mode, there may be differences in the rotation speed of the garment processing drum, the drying temperature, and the drying time.

[0068] In some embodiments, the operation of the first knob 22a and the display content of the first display screen can be associated or physically electrically connected. For example, rotating the first knob 22a can change the display content on the first display screen 211. Alternatively, the relevant content of the selected multiple first function items can be displayed on the first display screen 211. Of course, the operation of the first knob 22a and the display content of the first display screen 211 may not be associated.

[0069] In some embodiments, the operation of the second knob 22b and the display content of the first display screen can be associated or physically electrically connected. For example, rotating the second knob 22b can change the display content on the first display screen 211. Alternatively, the relevant content of the selected multiple second function items can be displayed on the first display screen 211. Of course, the operation of the second knob 22b and the display content of the first display screen 211 may not be associated.

[0070] In some implementations, the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b are spaced apart along a first direction, and the first display screen is at least partially located between the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b. This arrangement, with the first display screen at least partially positioned between the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b, helps to center the first display screen, enhances the symmetry and coordination of the control device 20, and allows the user's gaze to follow only the first display screen 211, avoiding scattered display and improving the user experience.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the enclosure 10 includes a front door 11, a display module 21, and at least two knobs 22 disposed on the front door 11. This allows the user to see the content displayed on the first display screen without having to turn their head or perform other operations, and also allows the user to directly operate the knobs 22.

[0072] In some implementations, the front door 11 has a clothing loading port. The clothing loading port is used to communicate with the clothing handling chamber for loading and unloading clothing.

[0073] For example, the housing 10 includes a door 12 for opening or closing the clothing loading port.

[0074] In some embodiments, the front sealing door 11 is a one-piece structure. This improves the integrity and strength of the front sealing door 11, enhances its appearance continuity, and helps to improve the aesthetics of the garment processing equipment.

[0075] In some implementations, the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b are symmetrically arranged in a plane orthographically projected perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment processing equipment; the plane of symmetry is a vertical plane passing through the midpoint of the left-right direction of the housing 10, and / or, the plane of symmetry is a vertical plane passing through the midpoint of the display module 21.

[0076] In this embodiment, the symmetrical arrangement makes the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b look the same, which helps to further improve the overall appearance coordination of the control device 20.

[0077] When the symmetrical plane is a vertical plane passing through the midpoint of the left and right directions of the box 10, the first direction is the left and right direction of the clothing processing equipment, which makes the display module 21 centered. This helps to reduce the degree of deviation of the user's line of sight when operating the clothing processing equipment. Moreover, the centered setting can also design the backlight angle more precisely, making the clothing processing equipment more readable in strong light scenarios such as balconies.

[0078] In some embodiments, when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment handling device, the projection of the rotating portion 221 of the first knob 22a at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first display screen 211, and the projection of the rotating portion 221 of the second knob 22b at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first display screen 211. That is, the projections of the rotating portion 221 of the first knob 22a and the first display screen 211 have overlapping areas, with a portion of the rotating portion 221 of the first knob 22a superimposed on the side of the first display screen 211 facing the exterior surface; the projections of the rotating portion 221 of the second knob 22b and the first display screen 211 have overlapping areas, and a portion of the rotating portion 221 of the second knob 22 is superimposed on the side of the first display screen 211 facing the exterior surface.

[0079] In this embodiment, the portions of the first display screen 211 obscured by the rotating portions 221 of the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b are not visible on the exterior surface of the garment processing device. In other words, the user cannot see the area of ​​the first display screen 211 obscured by the rotating portions 221 of the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b. Thus, a portion of the peripheral contour of the rotating portion 221 of the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b can respectively serve as the boundaries of the two ends of the display module 21 along the first direction. This firstly expands the area of ​​the first display screen 211, increasing the display area. Secondly, it improves the aesthetic coordination and / or matching between the rotating portions 221 of the first knob 22a and the display module 21, and between the rotating portions 221 of the second knob 22b and the display module 21, thereby enhancing the overall aesthetics of the control device 20. Furthermore, the first display screen 211 can adopt a regular rectangular shape, eliminating the need for an irregular shape, which helps reduce the cost and manufacturing difficulty of the first display screen.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first display screen 211 is rectangular and extends along a first direction, with the shorter rectangular side of the first display screen at least partially located within the overlapping area. The use of a regular rectangular shape for the first display screen helps reduce production costs.

[0081] In some embodiments, the knob 22 includes a second display screen disposed radially inside the rotating portion 221.

[0082] In this way, the second display screen can use the internal space of the rotating part 221 to display the image, which helps to improve the compactness of the structural layout of the control device 20.

[0083] In other embodiments, the first display screen 211 and the second display screen can be used in conjunction. This helps to increase the display area of ​​the control device 20.

[0084] For example, the display backgrounds of the first display screen 211 and the second display screen are coordinated. It should be noted that coordinated display backgrounds may include coordinated background colors and / or coordinated display graphics.

[0085] For example, the display background includes a background color, and the background color of the first display screen 211 and the background color of the second display screen have the same color scheme.

[0086] For example, the display graphics of the second display screen and the first display screen 211 are coordinated. The graphics on the first display screen 211 can be continuously moved from the edge of the first display screen 211 near the second display screen to the second display screen for display; and / or, the graphics on the second display screen can be continuously moved from the edge of the second display screen near the first display screen 211 to the first display screen 211 for display. In this way, the display coordination and interactivity of the first display screen 211 and the second display screen can be improved, giving the control device 20 a better sense of technology and improving the user experience.

[0087] In some embodiments, the display module 21 and at least two knobs 22 are positioned above the clothing dispensing opening. This ensures that the display module 21 and knobs 22 are at sufficient height in the vertical direction, allowing the user to operate the rotating part 221 and view the content displayed on the display module 21 without bending over or excessively bending over.

[0088] In the embodiment where the display module 21 is projected along the first direction, in a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment handling device, the two ends of the projection of the display module 21 do not exceed the two ends of the projection of the garment inlet. This helps to keep the size of the display module 21 within a reasonable range.

[0089] In some embodiments, the front door 11 is provided with a mounting opening, where the display module 21 and at least two knobs 22 are located. This ensures that the control device 20 is at least partially embedded within the housing 10, preventing the control device 20 from excessively protruding from the outer surface 11a of the front door 11.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the outlines of the display module 21 on both sides in the first direction include a first arc 21a. When projected onto a plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating part 221, the first arc 21a coincides with the outer periphery outline of the rotating part 221.

[0091] It should be noted that the first arc 21a coincides with the outer periphery of the rotating part 221, meaning that the center of the first arc 21a coincides with the center of the rotating part 221, the projection of the first arc 21a falls on the projection of the outer periphery of the rotating part 221, and the central angle corresponding to the first arc 21a is smaller than the central angle corresponding to the outer periphery of the rotating part 221.

[0092] In this embodiment, overlap refers to design overlap and / or visual overlap, allowing for manufacturing errors or other errors. The error refers to the distance between the projection of the first arc 21a and the projection of the outer periphery of the rotating part 221 not exceeding 5mm.

[0093] Thus, visually speaking, the display module 21 and the rotating part 221 have no stepped appearance, and the overall shape is cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0094] In some embodiments, the rotating part 221 is located on the front side of the display module 21 along the axial direction of the rotating part 221. This facilitates user operation of the rotating part 221 and also allows the rotating part 221 to provide better shielding for the display module 21.

[0095] In some implementations, the mounting port has a racetrack-shaped outline. This helps to make the overall outline of the display module 21 and the rotating portions 221 of the at least two knobs 22 have a racetrack shape, thereby making the overall appearance of the display module 21 and the at least two knobs 22 smooth and aesthetically pleasing.

[0096] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the rotating part 221 protrudes from the outer surface 11a of the front sealing door 11. This makes it convenient for the user to hold the rotating part 221 and operate it.

[0097] In some implementations, the outer surface of the first display screen is positioned rearward relative to the outer surface 11a of the front door 11. That is, the first display screen is embedded inside the housing 10, which facilitates the installation of a glass protective structure on the front side of the first display screen to protect it from scratches and impacts.

[0098] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The ratio of the dimension L1 of the display module 21 along the first direction to the dimension L2 of the housing 10 along the first direction is 0.4-0.6. That is, 0.37≤L1 / l2≤0.7. For example, L1 / L2 can take values ​​such as 0.37, 0.39, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, etc. In this way, on the one hand, the control device 20 has sufficient size in the first horizontal direction to make the display module 21 large enough for the user to view; on the other hand, the control device 20 is not too long in the first horizontal direction, so as not to excessively occupy the space of the housing 10 along the first horizontal direction, making the overall appearance of the clothing processing equipment harmonious.

[0099] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The radial dimension D of the rotating part 221 is not less than 1 / 6 of the overall length L1 of the display module 21. That is, D≥1 / 6*L1. In this way, the relative proportion between the dimension of the rotating part 221 in the first direction and the dimension of the display module 21 in the first direction is within a reasonable range, so that the dimension of the rotating part 221 in the first direction is not too small, making it convenient for user operation.

[0100] It should be noted that, in the orthographic projection onto a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment processing equipment, the projected outline of the rotating part 221 can be circular or non-circular, such as elliptical or polygonal. In embodiments where the projected outline of the rotating part 221 is non-circular, the radial dimension D of the rotating part 221 refers to the diameter of the circle corresponding to the rotation trajectory of the rotating part 221.

[0101] In some embodiments, the outline formed by the projection of the display module 21 and the rotating portion 221 of at least two knobs 22 on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating portion 221 is racetrack shaped.

[0102] This helps to make the overall appearance of the display module 21 and at least two knobs 22 smooth and beautiful, and also makes the overall appearance symmetrical.

[0103] In this embodiment, the relationship between the display module 21 and the rotating part 22 is not limited. For example, the projections of the rotating parts 221 of all knobs 22 may be located within the projection of the display module 21. In this embodiment, the outline of the projection of the display module 21 is racetrack-shaped, and the outline shape of the rotating part 221 is not limited.

[0104] For example, in an embodiment where the projection of the rotating portion 221 of the first knob 22a overlaps with the projection of the first display screen 211, and the projection of the rotating portion 221 of the second knob 22b overlaps with the projection of the first display screen 211, the rotating portion 221 of the first knob 22a has an arcuate profile on the side away from the second knob 22b in a first direction, and the rotating portion 221 of the second knob 22b has an arcuate profile on the side away from the first knob 22a in the first direction. This makes the overall appearance of the display module 21 and at least the two knobs 22 resemble a racetrack. This is beneficial for both a compact structure and an improved streamlined and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the user interface device.

[0105] It should be noted that in the embodiment where the display module 21 and at least two knobs 22 are located on the front sealing door 11, the axis of the rotating part 221 is approximately parallel to the front-rear direction of the garment processing device.

[0106] Roughly parallel means that a certain amount of machining and assembly error is allowed.

[0107] In some embodiments, the outline of the projection of the display module 21 is racetrack-shaped. This makes the appearance of the display module 21 smooth and aesthetically pleasing, and helps to make the overall appearance of the display module 21 symmetrical with that of the at least two knobs 22.

[0108] In this embodiment, the outline and location of the rotating part 221 are not limited.

[0109] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without creating contradictions.

[0110] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
