[0012] In some implementations, the installation port is located above the clothing loading / unloading port, and the clothing handling equipment includes a door body connected to the housing for opening or closing the clothing loading / unloading port; In the orthographic projection of a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment processing equipment, the minimum distance between the mounting opening and the door in the height direction of the garment processing equipment is 13mm-20mm, and / or the minimum distance between the mounting opening and the top edge of the box in the height direction of the garment processing equipment is 14mm-23mm.

[0013] In some implementations, the outline of the mounting opening is racetrack-shaped when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment processing chamber.

[0014] In some implementations, the outer periphery of the control device is racetrack-shaped when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment processing chamber, and the outer periphery of the control device substantially coincides with the outline of the mounting port.

[0021] The clothing processing device provided in this application relates the volume of the clothing processing chamber to the depth of the cabinet, and / or relates the washing capacity of the clothing processing device to the depth of the cabinet. During the design phase, the depth of the cabinet is matched according to the volume or washing capacity. When the volume or washing capacity needs to be increased, a cabinet of corresponding depth is adapted, resulting in a more reasonable depth design and minimizing the degree of dimensional redundancy due to excessive cabinet depth. In some cases, increasing the volume of the clothing processing chamber or the washing capacity can be considered by increasing the width and / or depth of the cabinet. However, according to current designs, users' homes typically have cabinets that accommodate the clothing processing device. If the user does not want to increase the width of the cabinet, they can only consider increasing the depth of the cabinet. However, increasing the depth cannot be unlimited, as it would increase the difficulty for users to retrieve and place clothes. Therefore, the ratio of the volume of the clothing processing chamber to the depth of the cabinet, or the ratio of the washing capacity of the clothing processing device to the depth of the cabinet, must be within a suitable range.

Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. 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, which includes a housing 10 and a cylindrical assembly.

[0032] Specifically, the cylindrical assembly is disposed within the housing 10, and the cylindrical assembly has a clothing handling chamber. The clothing handling chamber is used to hold clothing.

[0033] 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, and the inner tub can also be called a perforated inner tub; of course, the inner tub can also hold water on its own, and this inner tub can also be called a non-perforated inner tub. In some embodiments, there may only be an inner tub, without an outer tub.

[0034] In some embodiments, the volume of the garment processing chamber is V liters, and the depth of the housing 10 in the front-to-back direction of the garment processing device is X mm (mm is millimeters), with 12.0% ≤ V / X ≤ 23%. For example, V / X can be 12.0%, 12.3%, 13.0%, 15.8%, 16.5%, 17.0%, 18.5%, 19%, 20%, 21.5%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, etc. And / or, the washing capacity of the garment processing device is G kilograms, and the depth of the housing in the front-to-back direction of the garment processing device is X mm, with 1.8% ≤ G / X ≤ 2.8%. For example, G / X can be 1.8%, 1.9%, 2.2%, 2.5%, 2.8%, etc.

[0035] It should be noted that the unit of the V / X ratio is liters per millimeter. The unit of the G / X ratio is kilograms per millimeter.

[0036] It should be noted that the washing capacity of clothing processing equipment (usually labeled in "kg") is a standardized indicator with unified industry standards. Its core definition is the maximum weight of dry clothes that the washing machine can safely and effectively wash in one cycle. The method for determining it must follow international / domestic standards (such as IEC 60456 and GB / T 4288).

[0037] The clothing processing device provided in this application embodiment correlates the volume of the clothing processing chamber with the depth of the cabinet 10, and / or correlates the washing capacity of the clothing processing device with the depth of the cabinet 10. During the design phase, the depth of the cabinet 10 is matched according to the volume or washing capacity. When the volume or washing capacity needs to be increased, a cabinet 10 of corresponding depth is adapted, resulting in a more reasonable depth design and minimizing the degree of dimensional redundancy due to excessive depth of the cabinet 10. In some cases, increasing the volume of the clothing processing chamber or increasing the washing capacity can be considered by increasing the width and / or depth of the cabinet 10. However, according to current designs, users' homes typically have cabinets that accommodate the clothing processing device. If the user does not want to increase the width of the cabinet, they can only consider increasing the depth of the cabinet. However, increasing the depth cannot be unlimited, as it would increase the difficulty for the user to retrieve and place clothes. Therefore, the ratio of the volume of the clothing processing chamber to the depth of the cabinet 10, or the ratio of the washing capacity of the clothing processing device to the depth of the cabinet 10, must be within a suitable range. Of course, when it is necessary to increase the volume or washing capacity, the width of the cabinet 10 in the left and right directions can also be increased accordingly.

[0038] In some embodiments, the ratio of the volume of the garment processing chamber to the depth of the housing is 13.0%-16.9%. That is, 13.0%≤V / X≤16.9%.

[0039] In some embodiments, the ratio of the washing capacity of the garment processing equipment to the depth of the tank is 2.1%-2.5%. That is, 2.1%≤G / X≤2.5%.

[0040] In some embodiments, the depth X of the housing is 600mm-700mm, that is, 600mm≤X≤700mm. For example, X can be 600mm, 610mm, 620mm, 630mm, 640mm, 650mm, 660mm, 670mm, 680mm, 700mm, etc. In this way, while increasing the depth of the housing 10, it also better matches the space reserved in the user's home for the clothing processing equipment.

[0041] In some embodiments, the depth X of the housing is 630mm-670mm. That is, 630mm≤X≤670mm. For example, X can be 630mm, 640mm, 650mm, 660mm, 670mm, etc.

[0042] In some embodiments, the volume V of the garment processing chamber is 80 liters to 120 liters. That is, 80 liters ≤ V ≤ 120 liters. For example, V can be 80 liters, 85 liters, 90 liters, 95 liters, 100 liters, 105 liters, 108 liters, 110 liters, 115 liters, 120 liters, etc. This allows the garment processing equipment to meet the washing needs of large items in daily life, such as blankets and curtains.

[0043] By limiting V and X within a reasonable range, the requirements of "large capacity demand" and "space adaptability" are balanced, which can provide a large volume and meet the needs of embedded and / or small apartment installation.

[0044] In some embodiments, the washing capacity G of the garment processing equipment is 12 kg to 18 kg. That is, 12 kg ≤ G ≤ 118 kg. For example, G can be 12 kg, 13 kg, 14 kg, 15 kg, 16 kg, 17 kg, 18 kg, etc. This allows the garment processing equipment to meet the large-capacity washing needs of daily life. By limiting G and X to a reasonable range, the requirements of "large capacity demand" and "space adaptability" are balanced, which can provide a large volume and meet the needs of embedded and / or small apartment installation.

[0045] In some embodiments, the absolute value of the difference between the depth X of the box 10 in the front-back direction of the garment processing equipment and the width L2 of the box 10 does not exceed 30 mm.

[0046] In this embodiment, -30mm ≤ X - L2 ≤ 30mm. This results in a smaller difference between the depth and width of the housing 10, making the projected outline of the housing 10 square (X=L2) or approximately square when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the height of the garment processing equipment (i.e., projected onto a horizontal plane). Therefore, when the width and depth are relatively similar, each unit increase in width and depth significantly increases the projected area of ​​the housing 10 on the horizontal plane (this area equals the width multiplied by the depth). Consequently, the size of the cylindrical assembly can be larger.

[0047] In some embodiments, the width L2 of the housing 10 is 600mm-700mm. That is, 600mm≤L2≤700mm. For example, L2 can be 600mm, 610mm, 620mm, 630mm, 640mm, 650mm, 660mm, 670mm, 680mm, 700mm, etc. In this way, while increasing the width of the housing 10, it also better matches the space reserved in the user's home for the clothing processing equipment.

[0048] In some implementations, the width L2 of the housing 10 is 630mm-670mm. That is, 630mm≤L2≤670mm. For example, L2 can be 630mm, 640mm, 650mm, 660mm, 670mm, etc.

[0049] In some embodiments, the height dimension of the housing 10 is 750mm-900mm. That is, 750mm≤H1≤900mm, for example, H1 can be 750mm, 780mm, 800mm, 820mm, 850mm, 900mm, etc. In this way, the height dimension of the housing 10 is relatively close 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.

[0050] In some embodiments, the height of the housing 10 is the same as the height of a standard housing 10. The height of the standard housing 10 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 height of the standard housing 10 is 850mm. Of course, moderate manufacturing errors are allowed, such as an error of 20mm.

[0051] In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a front door 11, which has a clothing loading port that communicates with the clothing processing chamber. Users can load and unload clothing through the clothing loading port.

[0052] In some embodiments, the garment handling device includes a door 30 for opening or closing the garment loading port.

[0053] In some implementations, the front sealing door 11 is a one-piece structure. This improves the integrity and strength of the front sealing door 11, enhances its visual continuity, and helps to improve the aesthetic appearance of the garment processing equipment.

[0054] In some embodiments, 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 improve the visual continuity of the garment handling equipment.

[0055] It should be noted that "approximately flush" refers to visual flushness, allowing for certain manufacturing or other errors. The error refers to the distance between the top surface of the front door 11 and the top edge of the housing 10 not exceeding 6mm.

[0056] In some embodiments, the garment handling equipment includes a control device 20, with a mounting opening provided on the front sealing door 11, and the control device 20 disposed at the mounting opening. That is, the control device 20 is mounted on the front sealing door 11. The user can see the control device 20, operate the control device 20, and / or view the content displayed on the control device 20. Thus, by placing the control device 20 on the front sealing door 11, the user can easily see the content of the control device 20 without turning their head, and the user can also directly operate the control device 20.

[0057] 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.

[0058] In some embodiments, the dimension H2 of the control device 20 in the height direction is 57mm-80mm, that is, 57mm≤H2≤80mm. For example, H1 can be 57mm, 59mm, 60mm, 62mm, 65mm, 68mm, 70mm, 75mm, 80mm, etc. This makes the dimension of the control device 20 in the height direction reasonable. On the one hand, it facilitates the operation and / or viewing of the control device 20, and on the other hand, it prevents the control device 20 from excessively occupying the space of the housing 10 in the height direction.

[0059] In some implementations, the mounting port is positioned higher than the clothing dispensing port. This ensures the control module has sufficient height in the vertical direction, allowing the user to view and / or operate the control device 20 without bending over or excessively bending over.

[0060] In some embodiments, the projection of the control device 20 onto a plane perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the garment processing chamber does not exceed the outline of the mounting opening. This facilitates flush mounting of the control device 20 with the outer surface of the front sealing door 11.

[0061] In some embodiments, the outline of the mounting port is racetrack-shaped. Thus, defining the outline of the control device 20 by the outline of the mounting port helps to make the outline of the control device 20 racetrack-shaped.

[0062] In some implementations, the outer periphery of the control device 20 is racetrack-shaped when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment processing chamber. This helps to make the overall appearance of the control device 20 smooth and aesthetically pleasing, and also makes the overall appearance symmetrical.

[0063] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the control device 20 substantially coincides with the outline of the mounting port.

[0064] 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.

[0065] In this embodiment, the mounting port can effectively limit the outer periphery of the control device 20, so that the control device 20 can be stably installed on the front sealing door 11.

[0066] In some embodiments, the minimum distance t1 between the mounting opening and the door 30 in the height direction of the clothing processing equipment, projected onto a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the clothing processing equipment, is 13mm-20mm, i.e., 13mm≤t1≤20mm. For example, t1 can be 13mm, 13.5mm, 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 on the one hand, and a compact structure is also taken into account on the other hand.

[0067] In some embodiments, the minimum distance t2 between the mounting opening and the top edge of the housing 10 in the height direction of the clothing processing equipment, projected onto a plane perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the clothing processing equipment, 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, 23.0mm, etc. By controlling t2 within this range, the mounting opening will not penetrate the top edge of the front sealing door, reducing the impact of the mounting opening on the structural strength of the front sealing door.

[0068] 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.

[0069] 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.

[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The display module 21 includes a first display screen 211.

[0071] Figure 1 and Figure 4 The dashed line in the diagram indicates the boundary of the first display screen 211.

[0072] 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.

[0073] In this embodiment, the display module 21 displays content through the first display screen 211.

[0074] 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.

[0075] 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.

[0076] 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.

[0077] In an embodiment where the first display screen 211 is used to display presentation text, parameters, duration, etc., may be displayed.

[0078] 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.

[0079] 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.

[0080] The material of the protective cover 212 is not limited; for example, it can be tempered glass.

[0081] 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.

[0082] 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.

[0083] It should be noted that "adjacent arrangement" means that, in the orthographic projection of the plane where the display module 21 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.

[0084] By arranging the knob 22 adjacent to the display module 21, the structure of the knob 22 and the display module 21 can be made more compact, reducing the area occupied by the control device 20 on the housing 10. At the same time, it helps to improve the visual integrity of the clothing processing equipment, that is, the appearance is more integrated, which helps to improve the appearance of the clothing processing equipment.

[0085] It should be noted that "at least one" refers to one or more, while "multiple" refers to two, three, or more.

[0086] 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.

[0087] 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.

[0088] The orthographic projection of the plane where the display module 21 is located is the orthographic projection of the plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating part 221.

[0089] In some implementations, the knob 22 may include not only a rotating part 221, but also a second display screen.

[0090] In some embodiments, the second display screen is disposed radially inside the rotating part 221. In this way, the second display screen can utilize the internal space of the rotating part 221 to display images, which helps to improve the compactness of the structural layout of the control device 20.

[0091] 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.

[0092] 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 the left-right 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.

[0093] like Figure 2 As shown, the first line of symmetry is the straight line indicated by S1.

[0094] 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.

[0095] In some embodiments, at least one knob 22 includes a first knob 22a and a second knob 22b. The first knob 22a and the second knob 22b help to distribute functions and avoid logic overload of a single knob 22. They also help to improve the overall layout of the control device 20.

[0096] 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.

[0097] 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.

[0098] 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.

[0099] 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.

[0100] For example, the rotation speed of the garment processing drum in the care mode is in a relatively low range.

[0101] 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.

[0102] 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.

[0103] 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.

[0104] 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.

[0105] In some implementations, the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction.

[0106] 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 211, 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.

[0107] 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.

[0108] 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.

[0109] 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 boundary of the projection of the first knob 22a and the projection of the second knob 22b in the left-right direction, thus helping to center the display module 21.

[0110] 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, 3.5, 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.

[0111] 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.

[0112] 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.

[0113] For example, the radial dimension D of the rotating part 221 is 57mm-80mm. That is, 57mm≤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.

[0114] In some embodiments, the ratio of the first dimension w to the left-right dimension L1 of the control device 20 is 0.4-0.7, i.e., 0.4 ≤ w / L1 ≤ 0.7. For example, w / L1 can be 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 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 211 located between the first knob 22a and the second knob 22b in the left-right 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.

[0115] In some embodiments, the first display screen 211 and the rotating portion 221 of the first knob 22b have an overlapping area when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment processing chamber, and the rotating portion 221 of the first display screen 211 and the second knob 22b have an overlapping area.

[0116] 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, 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. That is, the two edges of the first display screen 211 along the left-right direction are respectively covered by the first knob 22 and the second knob 22b, and the covered portions of the first display screen 211 are not exposed on the exterior surface of the garment processing device. A portion of the peripheral contour of the rotating part 221 of the first knob 22 and a portion of the peripheral contour 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-right direction. This firstly expands the area of ​​the first display screen 211, increasing the display area. Secondly, it improves the appearance coordination and / or matching between the rotating part 221 of the first knob 22 and the display module 21, and between the rotating part 221 of the second knob 22b and the first display screen 211, contributing to an improved overall aesthetic appeal of the control device 20. Furthermore, the first display screen 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. In addition, by setting the first display screen and the second knob to have an overlapping area, the display area can be increased, and the operable range can be expanded, resulting in a better user experience.

[0117] 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.

[0118] 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.

[0119] 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.

[0120] 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.

[0121] 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.

[0122] 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 protective cover 212 on the front side of the first display screen 211 to protect it from scratches and impacts.

[0123] In some implementations, the first knob 22 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.

[0124] In this embodiment, the symmetrical arrangement makes the first knob 22 and the second knob 22b look the same, which helps to further improve the overall appearance coordination of the control device 20.

[0125] When the symmetrical plane is a vertical plane passing through the midpoint of the left and right directions of the box 10, the left and right directions are the left and right directions of the clothing processing equipment. This makes the display module 21 centered, which 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.

[0127] 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.
