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.

[0031] In this embodiment of the application, the left and right directions are... Figure 1 This includes both left-to-right and right-to-left directions for the garment handling equipment. The front-to-back direction includes both front-to-back and back-to-front directions. The up-and-down direction includes both top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top directions; the up-and-down direction is the height direction.

[0032] 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.

[0033] The housing 10 includes a first panel, on which the control device 20 is disposed, meaning the user can see and operate the control device 20 and / or view content displayed on it. In this application, the size of the control device 20 is within the user's visible area. In some embodiments, the control device 20 includes electronic components and a visible portion located on the housing 10; the electronic components can serve as an interaction signal between the user and the garment processing equipment. In other embodiments, the control device 20 includes user-interactive components located on the exterior of the housing 10, such as components allowing the user to control the operation, start / stop, or program selection of the garment processing equipment, and / or components allowing the user to read information from the control device 20; and structures installed on the exterior of the housing 10 for supporting / installing / accommodating / covering these components, such as the protective cover 212 described below.

[0034] It is understandable that there are no restrictions on the type of clothing processing equipment, such as washing machines, washer-dryer combos, dryers, etc.

[0035] For example, the garment handling device includes a cylindrical assembly having a garment handling chamber for holding garments.

[0036] 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.

[0037] In some embodiments, the control device 20 is arranged along a first horizontal direction in the orthographic projection of the plane containing the first plate. The ratio of the dimension L1 of the control device 20 in the first horizontal direction to the dimension L2 of the housing 10 in the first horizontal direction is 0.37-0.7. That is, 0.37≤L1 / L2≤0.7. For example, L1 / L2 can be 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 easy viewing by the user. On the other hand, the dimension of the control device 20 in the first horizontal direction is not too long, 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.

[0038] It is understandable that the first horizontal direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the garment processing equipment.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first horizontal direction is parallel to the left-right direction of the garment processing device.

[0040] In some embodiments, the dimension L1 of the control device 20 in the first horizontal direction is 280 mm (millimeters) - 420 mm. That is, 300 mm ≤ L1 ≤ 380 mm. For example, L1 can be 280 mm, 290 mm, 300 mm, 310 mm, 320 mm, 330 mm, 340 mm, 350 mm, 360 mm, 370 mm, 380 mm, 390 mm, 400 mm, 420 mm, etc. This makes the dimension of the control device 20 in the first horizontal direction reasonable, making the control device 20 easy to operate and / or view.

[0041] In some embodiments, the dimension L2 of the housing 10 in the first horizontal direction is 550mm-700mm. That is, 550mm≤L2≤700mm. For example, L2 can be 550mm, 560mm, 570mm, 580mm, 600mm, 610mm, 620mm, 630mm, 640mm, 650mm, 660mm, 670mm, 680mm, 700mm, etc. In this way, the dimension of the housing 10 in the first horizontal direction is relatively close to the general size of the housing 10 of existing clothing processing equipment on the market, and therefore, it is more suitable for the installation space reserved for clothing processing equipment in the user's home.

[0042] By controlling L1 and L2 within a reasonable range, the relative ratio between the size of the control device 20 in the first horizontal direction and the size of the housing 10 in the first horizontal direction is reasonable. This makes the control device 20 easy to operate and / or view, and also prevents the control device 20 from excessively occupying the space of the housing 10 in the first horizontal direction.

[0043] In some embodiments, the dimension H2 of the control device 20 along the height direction is 57mm-80mm. That is, 57mm≤H2≤80mm. For example, H2 can be 57mm, 58mm, 59mm, 60mm, 61mm, 65mm, 68mm, 70mm, 71mm, 75mm, 80mm, etc. This ensures that the control device 20 has sufficient dimensions in the height direction for easy operation and / or viewing. For example, it ensures that the display module 21 (described below) has sufficient dimensions in the height direction for good readability, and / or it ensures that the knob 22 (described below) has sufficient dimensions in the height direction for good operability.

[0044] In some embodiments, the height of the housing 10 is the height of a standard housing. The height of the standard housing can be determined by the national or industry standards of the country to which it belongs. For example, in the washing machine industry in China, the standard housing height is 850mm. Of course, moderate manufacturing errors are allowed, such as an error of 20mm.

[0045] In some embodiments, the height dimension H1 of the housing 10 is 750mm-900mm. That is, 750mm≤H1≤900mm. For example, H1 can be 750mm, 760mm, 780mm, 800mm, 820mm, 850mm, 900mm, etc. In this way, the height dimension H1 of the housing 10 is closer to the common size of the housing 10 of existing clothing processing equipment on the market, and therefore, it is more suitable for the installation space reserved for clothing processing equipment in users' homes.

[0046] By controlling H1 and H2 within a reasonable range, the relative ratio between the dimensions of the control device 20 in the height direction and the dimensions of the box 10 in the height direction is reasonable. On the one hand, this makes the control device 20 easy to operate and / or view, and on the other hand, it prevents the control device 20 from excessively occupying the space of the box 10 in the height direction, such as not occupying the space of the clothing loading port as described below.

[0047] In some embodiments, the control device 20 includes at least a display module 21. The display module 21 is at least partially used to display content for the user to view. In some 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 clothing processing procedure, for example, the display module 21 can be used via a touch screen or touch buttons for the user to make selections.

[0048] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the orthographic projection of the plane on which the first plate is located is the orthographic projection of the plane on which the display surface of the display module 21 is located.

[0049] In some embodiments, the height dimension h1 of the display module 21 is 57mm-80mm. That is, 57mm≤h1≤80mm. For example, h1 can be 57mm, 58mm, 60mm, 61mm, 62mm, 65mm, 66mm, 69mm, 70mm, 75mm, 78mm, 80mm, etc. This ensures that the display module 21 has a suitable height dimension for easy viewing.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the display module 21 includes a first display screen.

[0051] Figure 1 and Figure 4 The dashed lines in the diagram indicate the boundary of the first display screen 211.

[0052] 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.

[0053] In this embodiment, the display module 21 displays content through the first display screen 211.

[0054] 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.

[0055] 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.

[0056] 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.

[0057] In an embodiment where the first display screen 211 is used to display presentation text, parameters, duration, etc., may be displayed.

[0058] 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.

[0059] In some embodiments, the control device 20 includes at least one knob 22, and the at least one knob 22 and the display module 21 are arranged adjacent to each other in a first horizontal direction.

[0060] It should be noted that "adjacent arrangement" means that, in the orthographic projection of the plane where the first plate is located, 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.

[0061] By arranging the knob 22 and the display module 21 adjacent to each other in the first horizontal direction, it helps to make the knob 22 and the display module 21 structurally compact in the first horizontal direction, reducing the area occupied by the control device 20 on the housing 10 in the first horizontal direction. At the same time, it helps to improve the visual integrity of the clothing processing equipment, that is, to make the appearance more integrated and to improve the aesthetics of the clothing processing equipment.

[0062] It should be noted that "at least one" refers to one or more, while "multiple" refers to two, three, or more.

[0063] In some embodiments, the knob 22 includes a rotating part 221 that is rotatable relative to the housing 10. That is, the knob 22 selects a program or adjusts parameters by rotating the rotating part 221, which is used for user operation.

[0064] 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.

[0065] It should be noted that the orthographic projection of the plane where the first plate is located is the orthographic projection of the plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating part 221.

[0066] In some implementations, the knob 22 may include not only the rotating part 221, but also a second display screen.

[0067] In some embodiments, the second display screen is disposed radially inside the rotating portion 221.

[0068] In some embodiments, the control device 20 is symmetrically arranged about a first line of symmetry in the orthographic projection onto a plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating part 221, wherein the first line of symmetry is parallel to a first horizontal direction and passes through the axis of the rotating part 221. This helps to improve the aesthetic harmony and / or symmetry between the knob 22 and the display module 21, thereby improving the aesthetic harmony and / or symmetry of the control device 20.

[0069] For example, the distance between the highest point of the rotating part 221 and the top edge of the display module 21 is made equal to the distance between the lowest point of the rotating part 221 and the bottom edge of the display module 21. This distance can be greater than zero or equal to zero. Figure 2 As shown, the first line of symmetry is the straight line indicated by S1.

[0070] In some embodiments, the control device 20 is symmetrically arranged about a second line of symmetry in the orthographic projection onto a plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating part 221. The second line of symmetry is parallel to a second horizontal direction, wherein the first horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction, and the axis of the rotating part 221 are perpendicular to each other.

[0071] This helps to improve the appearance coordination and / or symmetry of the knob 22 and the display module 21, thereby improving the appearance coordination and / or symmetry of the control device 20.

[0072] In some implementations, the projected outline of the control device 20 in the plane containing the first plate is racetrack-shaped. This helps to make the overall appearance of the control device 20 smooth and aesthetically pleasing, and also makes the overall appearance symmetrical.

[0073] In this embodiment, the relationship between the display module 21 and the rotating part 221 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.

[0074] 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.

[0075] In this embodiment, the outline and location of the rotating part 221 are not limited.

[0076] Please refer to some implementation plans as well. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The display module 21 also includes a protective cover plate 212, which is disposed on the outer surface of the first display screen 211. In this way, the protective cover plate 212 forms a protection for the first display screen 211 to protect the first display screen 211 from scratches and impacts.

[0077] The material of the protective cover 212 is not limited; for example, it can be tempered glass.

[0078] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the protective cover 221 defines the outer periphery of the display module 21 when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating part 221. This helps to reduce the shape requirements of the first display screen 211.

[0079] In some embodiments, at least one knob 22 includes a first knob 22a and a second knob 22b. That is, the number of knobs 22 is at least two. Multiple 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.

[0080] 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.

[0081] 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 part 221.

[0082] 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.

[0083] 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.

[0084] For example, the rotation speed of the garment processing drum in the care mode is in a relatively low range.

[0085] Blue Oxygen Mode can be understood as activating the electrolysis device during the garment processing, using an electrode device to electrolyze water to achieve sterilization and prevent color bleeding.

[0086] 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.

[0087] 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. Alternatively, the relevant content of the selected multiple first function items can be displayed on the first display screen. Of course, the operation of the first knob 22a and the display content of the first display screen may not be associated.

[0088] 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 first knob 22a 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.

[0089] In some implementations, the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b are arranged at intervals along a first horizontal direction.

[0090] In some embodiments, the first display screen 211 is at least partially disposed 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, avoiding scattered display and improving the user experience.

[0091] In some embodiments, the maximum dimension of the control device 20 in the first horizontal direction is the maximum distance between the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b in the first horizontal direction. That is, the edge of the first knob 22a away from the second knob 22b and the edge of the second knob 22b away from the first knob 22a respectively serve as the boundaries of the two ends of the control device 20 in the first horizontal direction.

[0092] It should be noted that the maximum distance between the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b in the first horizontal direction refers to the maximum distance between the edge of the rotating part 221 of the first knob 22a away from the second knob 22b and the edge of the rotating part 221 of the second knob 22b away from the first knob 22a in the first horizontal direction.

[0093] In this embodiment, when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating part 221, the projection of the display module 21 along the first horizontal direction will not exceed the boundary of the projection of the first knob 22a and the projection of the second knob 22b. This helps to center the display module 21, reduce outline lines, and enhance aesthetics. On the other hand, it helps to increase the symmetry and coordination of the control device 20. Furthermore, the user's vision can follow the first display screen 211, which can avoid scattered display and improve the user experience.

[0094] In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the edges of the rotating portions 221 of the first knob 22a and the rotating portions 221 of the second knob 22b in the first horizontal direction is a first dimension w, and the ratio of the first dimension w to the radial dimension D of the rotating portion 221 is 2.0-3.7. That is, 2.0 ≤ w / D ≤ 3.7. For example, w / D can take values ​​such as 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, etc. By controlling the ratio of the first dimension to the radial dimension of the rotating portion 221 within this range, the relative dimensions of the first dimension and the radial dimension of the rotating portion 221 are within a reasonable range, which helps to improve the overall coordination between the knob 22 and the display module 21.

[0095] 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.

[0096] In some implementations, the first dimension w is 170mm-230mm. That is, 170mm≤w≤230mm. For example, w can be 170mm, 172mm, 175mm, 180mm, 185mm, 188mm, 190mm, 196mm, 198mm, 205mm, 218mm, 226mm, 230mm, etc. By controlling the first dimension w within this range, the size of the display module 21 between the first knob 22aa and the second knob 22b is reasonable, which helps to ensure that the size of the first display screen 211 exposed to the exterior surface along the first horizontal direction is reasonable, thereby helping to ensure the readability of the first display screen 211.

[0097] For example, the radial dimension D of the rotating part 221 is 57mm-80mm. That is, 60mm≤D≤80mm, and D can be 57mm, 58mm, 59mm, 60mm, 61mm, 65mm, 68mm, 70mm, 71mm, 75mm, 80mm, etc. In this way, on the one hand, the rotating part 221 has sufficient size for user operation, and on the other hand, the size of the rotating part 221 does not excessively increase the size of the control device 20 along the first horizontal direction and / or along the height direction.

[0098] In some embodiments, the ratio of the first dimension w to the dimension L1 of the control device in the first horizontal direction is 0.4-0.77, i.e., 0.4 ≤ w / L1 ≤ 0.7. For example, w / L1 can be 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.77, etc. In this way, by limiting w / L1 to this range, there is a sufficient gap between the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b, so that the dimension of the first display screen located between the first knob and the second knob in the first horizontal direction is large enough, and the area used by the display module 21 for display (i.e., the area viewed by the user) is large enough.

[0099] Some implementation schemes, such as Figure 7 As shown, in orthographic projection onto a plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating part 221, the first display screen 211 and the first knob 22a have overlapping areas, and the first display screen 211 and the second knob 22b have overlapping areas.

[0100] In this embodiment, a portion of the rotating part 221 of the first knob 22 overlaps on the side of the first display screen 211 facing the exterior surface, and a portion of the rotating part 221 of the second knob 22b overlaps on the side of the first display screen 211 facing the exterior surface. That is, the two edges of the first display screen 211 along the first horizontal direction are respectively covered by the first knob 22 and the second knob 22b, and the covered parts of the first display screen 211 are not exposed on the exterior surface of the garment processing device. The partial peripheral contours of the rotating part 221 of the first knob 22 and the partial peripheral contours of the rotating part 221 of the second knob 22b can respectively serve as the boundaries of the two ends of the first display screen along the first horizontal direction of 211. This firstly expands the area of ​​the first display screen, thus expanding the display area. In addition, it makes the appearance coordination and / or matching between the rotating part 221 of the first knob 22 and the display module 21, and the rotating part 221 of the second knob 22b and the first display screen 211 better, which helps to improve the overall aesthetics of the control device 20. In addition, the first display screen 211 can adopt a regular rectangular shape, without the need for an irregular shape, which helps to reduce the cost and manufacturing difficulty of the first display screen 211.

[0101] For example, the first display screen 211 is rectangular and extends along a first horizontal direction, with the shorter rectangular side of the first display screen 211 at least partially located within the overlapping area. The use of a regular rectangular shape for the first display screen helps reduce production costs.

[0102] In some implementations, the boundary of the first display screen 211 in the first direction does not exceed the vertical midline of the first knob 22a, and the boundary of the first display screen 211 in the first direction does not exceed the vertical midline of the second knob 22b. This ensures that, on the one hand, the size of the first display screen 211 along the first direction is controlled within a reasonable range, and on the other hand, the rotating portions 221 of the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b effectively shield the boundaries of the first display screen 211 at both ends along the first direction.

[0103] For example, the knob 22 includes a second display screen disposed radially inside the rotating portion 221.

[0104] 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.

[0105] 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.

[0106] For example, the display backgrounds of the first display screen 211 and the second display screen 211 are coordinated. It should be noted that coordinated display backgrounds may include coordinated background colors and / or coordinated display graphics.

[0107] 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.

[0108] 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.

[0109] In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a front sealing door 11, and a control device 20 is disposed on the front sealing door 11. In this embodiment, the first panel is the front sealing door 11.

[0110] This allows users to see the content displayed on the first display screen 211 without having to turn their heads or perform other operations, and also allows users to directly operate the knob 22.

[0111] 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, and 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.

[0112] 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.

[0113] When the symmetrical plane is a vertical plane passing through the midpoint of the left and right directions of the cabinet 10, the display module 21 is centered, which helps to reduce the degree of line of sight deviation when the user operates the clothing processing equipment. Moreover, the centered setting can also more accurately design the backlight angle, making the clothing processing equipment more readable in strong light scenarios such as balconies.

[0114] In some embodiments, the front sealing 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.

[0115] For example, the garment handling device includes a door 30 for opening or closing the garment loading port.

[0116] In some embodiments, the control device 20 is positioned above the clothing dispensing opening. This ensures that the display module 21 and the knob 22 are at sufficient height in the vertical direction, allowing the user to operate the knob 22 and view the content displayed on the display module 21 without bending over or excessively bending over.

[0117] In some embodiments, the minimum height distance t1 between the control device 20 and the door 30 is 13mm-20mm. That is, 13mm ≤ t1 ≤ 20mm. For example, t1 can be 13mm, 13.2mm, 13.5mm, 14.0mm, 14.5mm, 14.9mm, 15.0mm, 15.2mm, 15.5mm, 15.8mm, 16.1mm, 16.8mm, 17.5mm, 19.8mm, 20mm, etc. By controlling t1 within this range, a suitable safety distance is maintained on the one hand, and a compact structure is also taken into account on the other hand. In some embodiments, the minimum height distance t2 between the top edge of the control device 20 and the housing 10 is 14mm-23mm. That is, 14mm ≤ t2 ≤ 23mm. For example, t2 can be 14mm, 14.8mm, 15.0mm, 15.5mm, 16.0mm, 16.8mm, 17.0mm, 17.6mm, 18.5mm, 19.0mm, 20.7mm, 21.2mm, 22.0mm, 22.2mm, 23.0mm, etc. By controlling t2 within this range, the mounting opening will not penetrate the top edge of the front sealing door 11, reducing the impact of the mounting opening on the structural strength of the front sealing door 11.

[0118] In some embodiments, the front sealing door 11 is provided with an installation opening, and the control device is disposed at the installation opening. In this way, the control device 20 is at least partially embedded in the housing 10, so that the control device 20 as a whole does not excessively protrude from the outer surface 11a of the front sealing door 11.

[0119] For example, the outline of the mounting port is racetrack-shaped. This facilitates the installation of the aforementioned racetrack-shaped control device 2, display module 21, protective cover 211, etc., and helps to make the overall outline of the control device 20 racetrack-shaped, thereby making the overall appearance of the control device 20 smooth and aesthetically pleasing.

[0120] 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.

[0121] For example, the top surface of the front door 11 is approximately flush with the top edge of the housing 10. This makes the front view of the housing 10 present a complete flat surface, which helps to enhance the visual continuity of the garment handling equipment.

[0122] It should be noted that "approximately flush" refers to visual flushness, allowing for certain manufacturing or other errors. In some embodiments, the error refers to the distance between the top surface of the front sealing door 11 and the top edge of the housing 10 not exceeding 6mm.

[0123] In some embodiments, 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.

[0124] In some embodiments, along the front-rear direction of the garment handling equipment, the outer surface of the first display screen 211 is positioned rearward relative to the outer surface 11a of the front sealing door 11. That is, the first display screen 211 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.
