[0009] In some implementations, the front sealing door is provided with an installation port, and the control device is disposed at the installation port. When projected onto a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment processing equipment, the outline of the installation port is racetrack-shaped.

[0010] In some implementations, the outer periphery of the control device substantially coincides with the outline of the mounting port when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment processing equipment.

[0011] In some implementations, the display module includes a first display screen and a protective cover. The protective cover is disposed on the outer surface of the first display screen. The outer periphery of the protective cover defines the outer periphery of the display module in the front-back direction of the garment processing device. The outer periphery of the protective cover substantially coincides with the outer periphery of the control device.

[0012] In some embodiments, the control device includes a display module and at least one knob arranged adjacent to the display module. The knob includes a rotating portion that is rotatable relative to the housing.

[0013] In some embodiments, the control device is symmetrically arranged about a first line of symmetry in orthographic projection onto a plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating part, wherein the first line of symmetry is parallel to the left-right direction of the garment processing device and passes through the axis of the rotating part.

[0015] In some embodiments, the at least one knob includes a first knob and a second knob, the first knob and the second knob being arranged spaced apart along the left-right direction of the garment handling device, and the minimum distance between the rotating portions of the first knob and the rotating portions of the second knob in the left-right direction being a first dimension. The ratio of the first dimension to the dimension of the control device in the left-right direction is 0.4-0.77; And / or, the ratio of the first dimension to the radial dimension of the rotating part is 2.0-3.7.

[0016] In some embodiments, the at least one knob includes a first knob and a second knob, the first knob and the second knob being arranged spaced apart along the left-right direction of the garment handling device, the display module including a first display screen, the first display screen being at least partially disposed between the first knob and the second knob, projecting orthogonally onto a plane perpendicular to the axis of the knob portion, the first display screen and the first knob having overlapping areas, and the first display screen and the second knob having overlapping areas.

[0017] In some implementations, along the front-rear direction of the garment handling equipment, the outer surface of the first display screen is positioned rearward relative to the outer surface of the front sealing door.

[0021] The clothing handling device of this application embodiment, by defining the relationship between the first distance and the second distance, makes the display module layout reasonable, thereby making the control device layout reasonable. On the one hand, it ensures a certain distance between the control device and the top edge of the cabinet, reducing the impact on the cabinet's strength; on the other hand, it makes the distance between the control device and the door shorter, allowing for quicker access to the control device area after the door is closed. This enables a seamless workflow of "opening the door to retrieve clothing → closing the door → adjusting the program → starting," requiring minimal or no movement of the user's line of sight, thus improving operational efficiency. By placing the control device in a suitable position, both cabinet strength and operational convenience are ensured, while also achieving a reasonable arrangement of space.

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.

[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 operate it and / or view the content displayed on it.

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

[0034] For example, the garment handling device includes a cylindrical assembly having a garment handling chamber for holding garments.

[0035] 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.

[0036] In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a front sealing door 11, and the control device 20 is disposed on the front sealing door 11. This allows the user to see the content displayed on the control device 20 without having to turn their head or perform other operations, and also allows the user to directly operate the control device 20.

[0037] 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.

[0038] For example, the garment handling device includes a door 30 for opening or closing the garment loading port.

[0039] In some embodiments, the control device 20 is positioned above the clothing dispensing opening. This provides sufficient height for the control device 20 to be operated and the content displayed on it without the user having to bend over excessively.

[0040] In some embodiments, the control device 20 includes at least a display module 21. The display module 21 is used to display content for a 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.

[0041] Some implementation schemes, such as Figure 2 As shown, in the orthographic projection onto a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the clothing processing equipment, the minimum distance t1 between the display module 21 and the door 30 in the height direction of the clothing processing equipment is the first distance, and the minimum distance t2 between the display module 21 and the top edge of the cabinet in the height direction is the second distance. The second distance is not less than the first distance. That is, t2 ≥ t1.

[0042] Thus, by defining the relationship between the first and second distances, the layout of the display module 21 is optimized, which in turn optimizes the layout of the control device 20. On one hand, this ensures a certain distance between the control device 20 and the top edge of the cabinet 10, reducing its impact on the strength of the cabinet 10. On the other hand, it minimizes the distance between the control device 20 and the door 30, allowing for quick access to the control device 20 after closing the door 30. This enables a seamless workflow of "opening the door to retrieve clothes → closing the door → adjusting the program → starting," requiring minimal or no movement of the user's line of sight, thus improving operational efficiency. By placing the control device 20 in a suitable position, both the strength of the cabinet 10 and operational convenience are ensured, while also achieving a rational arrangement of space.

[0043] In some embodiments, the ratio of the second distance to the first distance is 1-1.4, i.e., 1≤t2 / t1≤1.4, for example, t2 / t1 can be 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, etc.; and / or the difference between the second distance and the first distance does not exceed 10mm. That is, t2-t1≤10mm. In this way, by controlling the ratio and / or difference between the second distance and the first distance, the display module 21 is positioned in a relatively central position between the edge of the door 30 and the box, making the overall appearance of the clothing processing equipment more harmonious.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first distance is 13mm-20mm. That is, 13mm≤t1≤20mm. For example, t1 can be 13mm, 3.5mm, 14.0mm, 14.5mm, 14.9mm, 15.0mm, 15.2mm, 15.5mm, 15.8mm, 16.1mm, 16.8mm, 17.5mm, 19mm, 20mm, etc. By controlling t1 within this range, a suitable safety distance is maintained to avoid interference between the door 30 and the control device 20 during the opening and closing process. On the other hand, a compact structure is also taken into account.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second distance 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, 23mm, 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.

[0046] In some embodiments, the control device 20 extends along the left-right direction of the garment processing equipment in a plane orthographic projection perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment processing equipment.

[0047] In some embodiments, the dimension L1 of the control device 20 in the left-right direction is 280mm (millimeters) - 420mm. That is, 280mm ≤ L1 ≤ 420mm. For example, L1 can be 280mm, 290mm, 300mm, 310mm, 320mm, 330mm, 340mm, 350mm, 360mm, 370mm, 380mm, 400mm, 420mm, etc. This makes the dimension of the control device 20 reasonable in the left-right direction, making the control device 20 easy to operate and / or view.

[0048] In some embodiments, the left-right dimension L2 of the housing 10 is 550mm-700mm. That is, 550mm≤L2≤700mm. For example, L2 can be 550mm, 580mm, 600mm, 610mm, 620mm, 630mm, 640mm, 650mm, 660mm, 670mm, 680mm, 700mm, etc. In this way, the left-right dimension of the housing 10 is relatively close to the common dimensions of the housing 10 of existing clothing processing equipment on the market, thus better matching the installation space reserved for clothing processing equipment in users' homes.

[0049] By controlling L1 and L2 within a reasonable range, the relative ratio between the dimensions of the control device 20 in the left-right direction and the dimensions of the housing 10 in the left-right 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 left-right direction.

[0050] 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, 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 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.

[0051] 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 10mm.

[0052] 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.

[0053] 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.

[0054] In some embodiments, the projected outline of the control device 20 is racetrack-shaped when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment handling equipment. This helps to make the overall appearance of the control device 20 smooth and aesthetically pleasing, and also makes the overall appearance symmetrical.

[0055] In some embodiments, the front sealing door 11 is provided with an installation opening, and the control device 20 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.

[0056] For example, the mounting port has a racetrack-shaped outline. This facilitates the installation of the aforementioned racetrack-shaped control device 20.

[0057] In some implementation schemes, the outer periphery of the control device 20 basically coincides with the outline of the mounting port, thereby enabling the mounting port to play a good limiting role on the outer periphery of the control device 20, so that the control device 20 can be stably installed on the front sealing door 11.

[0058] It should be noted that "basic overlap" means that the design is identical and / or visually essentially identical, but certain manufacturing and assembly errors are allowed. Error refers to the distance between the edge of the control device 20 and the edge of the mounting opening not exceeding 5mm.

[0059] 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 has a suitable height dimension for easy viewing.

[0060] In some implementations, the projected outline of the control device 20 is racetrack-shaped when projected onto the plane containing the first plate. This helps to make the overall appearance of the control device 20 smooth and aesthetically pleasing, and also makes the overall appearance symmetrical.

[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The display module 21 includes a first display screen 211.

[0062] Figure 1 and Figure 4 The dashed lines in the diagram indicate the boundary of the first display screen 211.

[0063] 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.

[0064] In this embodiment, the display module 21 displays content through the first display screen 211.

[0065] 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.

[0066] 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.

[0067] 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.

[0068] In an embodiment where the first display screen 211 is used to display presentation text, parameters, duration, etc., may be displayed.

[0069] 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.

[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to the following simultaneously: 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.

[0071] The material of the protective cover 212 is not limited; for example, it can be tempered glass.

[0072] 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 front-back direction of the garment handling equipment. This helps to reduce the shape requirements of the first display screen 211.

[0073] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the protective cover 212 substantially coincides with the outer periphery of the control device 20 when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment handling equipment. That is, the outer periphery of the control device 20 is defined by the outer periphery of the protective cover 212. Thus, the boundaries of both the display module 21 and the control device 20 can be defined by the boundary of the protective cover 212.

[0074] In an embodiment where the projected outline of the control device 20 is racetrack-shaped, the projected outline of the protective cover 212 is also racetrack-shaped.

[0075] It should be noted that "basic overlap" here refers to the design being identical and / or visually identical, but certain manufacturing and assembly errors are permissible. The error refers to the distance between the edge of the protective cover 212 and the edge of the control device 20 not exceeding 5mm.

[0076] 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 the left-right direction.

[0077] It should be noted that "adjacent arrangement" means that, in orthographic projection onto a plane perpendicular to the display module 21, 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.

[0078] By arranging the knob 22 and the display module 21 adjacent to each other in the left and right directions, it helps to make the knob 22 and the display module 21 structurally compact in the left and right directions, reducing the area occupied by the control device 20 on the housing 10 in the left and right directions. 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 improve the aesthetics of the clothing processing equipment.

[0079] It should be noted that "at least one" refers to one or more, while "multiple" refers to two, three, or more.

[0080] In some embodiments, the knob 22 includes a rotating part 221, which is rotatable relative to the housing 10, wherein the left-right direction, the height direction, and the axis of the rotating part 221 are perpendicular to each other. That is, the knob 22 selects a program or adjusts parameters by rotating the rotating part 221, which is used for user operation.

[0081] It should be noted that the rotating part 221 refers to the outer surface of the knob, which is suitable for the user to grip and rotate. It should also be noted that the knob 22 may include a support for the rotating shaft, other structures that rotate synchronously with the knob 22, etc.

[0082] It should be noted that the above-mentioned orthographic projection on the plane perpendicular to the display module 21 is the same as the orthographic projection on the plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating part 221.

[0083] In some implementations, the knob 22 may include not only a rotating part 221, but also a second display screen.

[0084] In some embodiments, the second display screen is disposed radially inside the rotating portion 221.

[0085] In some embodiments, the control device 20 is symmetrically arranged about a first line of symmetry in orthographic projection onto a plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating part 221. This first line of symmetry is parallel to the left-right direction and passes through the axis of the rotating part 221. 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.

[0086] 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.

[0087] like Figure 2 As shown, the first line of symmetry is the straight line indicated by S1.

[0088] In some embodiments, the control device 20 is symmetrically arranged about a second line of symmetry, which is parallel to the height direction of the garment handling equipment, in orthographic projection onto a plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating part 221. This helps to improve the aesthetic harmony and / or symmetry of the knob 22 and the display module 21, thereby improving the aesthetic harmony and / or symmetry of the control device 20.

[0089] 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 and avoid logic overload of a single knob 22. In addition, it also helps to improve the layout of the entire control device.

[0090] In some implementations, the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b can select different function items. For example, the first knob 22a corresponds to multiple first function items, that is, the first knob 22a can select one of multiple first function items by rotating the rotating part 221.

[0091] 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.

[0092] 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.

[0093] 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.

[0094] For example, the rotation speed of the garment processing drum in the care mode is in a relatively low range.

[0095] 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.

[0096] 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.

[0097] In some embodiments, the operation of the first knob 22a and the display content of the first display screen 211 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.

[0098] In some embodiments, the operation of the second knob 22b and the display content of the first display screen 211 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.

[0099] In some implementations, the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first display screen 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.

[0101] In some embodiments, the maximum dimension of the control device 20 in the left-right direction is the maximum distance between the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b in the left-right 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 left-right direction.

[0102] It should be noted that the maximum distance between the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b in the left-right 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 left-right direction.

[0103] In this embodiment, when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating part 221, the projection of the display module 21 will not exceed the boundaries of the projections of the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b in the left-right direction. This helps to center the display module 21, reduce outlines, enhance aesthetics, and also increases the symmetry and coordination of the control device 20. Furthermore, the user's vision can follow the first display screen, avoiding scattered display and improving the user experience.

[0104] 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 left-right 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, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 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.

[0105] 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.

[0106] 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 direction and / or along the height direction.

[0107] For example, 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 in the left-right direction is reasonable, thereby helping to ensure the readability of the first display screen 211.

[0108] In some embodiments, the ratio of the first dimension w to the left-right dimension L1 of the control device is 0.4-0.77, i.e., 0.4 ≤ w / L1 ≤ 0.77. 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, making the left-right dimension of the first display screen located between the first knob and the second knob sufficiently large, and making the area used by the display module 21 for display (i.e., the area viewed by the user) sufficiently large.

[0109] In some embodiments, when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment processing chamber, the first display screen and the rotating portion 221 of the first knob 22 have an overlapping area, and the rotating portion 221 of the first display screen and the second knob 22b have an overlapping area.

[0110] 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 left and right directions 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 211 along the left and right directions. This firstly expands the display area of ​​the first display screen 211, and secondly improves 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, 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.

[0111] In some implementations, the left-right boundary of the first display screen 211 does not exceed the vertical midline of the first knob 22a, and the left-right boundary of the first display screen 211 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 in the left-right direction is controlled within a reasonable range, and on the other hand, that the rotating portions 221 of the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b effectively shield the left-right boundaries of the first display screen 211.

[0112] In some embodiments, the knob 22 includes a second display screen disposed radially inside the rotating portion 221.

[0113] 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.

[0114] 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.

[0115] 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.

[0116] 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.

[0117] 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 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 technological feel and improving the user experience.

[0118] 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.

[0119] 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.

[0120] 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.

[0121] 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.

[0122] 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.

[0123] It should be noted that "approximately flush" refers to visual approximate 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. In some embodiments, the rotating part 221 protrudes from the outer surface 11a of the front sealing door 11. This facilitates the user's handling of the rotating part 221 for operation.

[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, thus facilitating the use of the front protective cover 212 to protect the first display screen 211 from scratches and impacts.

[0125] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without creating contradictions.

[0126] 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.
