Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing processing apparatus technology, and more particularly to a clothing processing apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing washing machines have a control panel on the top of the machine body. The control panel has multiple control buttons for controlling the operation of the washing machine and a display window for displaying the working status of the washing machine. The working status of the washing machine can be controlled through the control panel.

[0003] The current assembly steps for control panel components are as follows: install the circuit board into the board box; assemble the board box with the display panel; install the display panel onto the panel mount. As can be seen, the current assembly steps for control panel components are rather cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application discloses a clothing processing device that can reduce the difficulty of assembling control panel components.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of this application disclose a garment processing device, comprising:

[0006] Box;

[0007] The cylindrical assembly is disposed within the housing;

[0008] Control panel components include:

[0009] A panel base is provided on the housing;

[0010] Display panel, including;

[0011] A panel body is connected to the panel base. The panel body has a first plate surface and a second plate surface that are disposed opposite to each other, with the first plate surface facing the panel base.

[0012] The mounting frame is disposed on the first panel surface and integrally formed with the panel body, and the mounting frame surrounds to form an installation space;

[0013] A limiting element is provided in the mounting frame;

[0014] A circuit board is disposed within the mounting space, and the limiting member can stop and limit the circuit board along a first direction, the first direction being the direction from the second plate surface to the first plate surface.

[0015] In this application, the display panel includes a panel body, a mounting frame, and a limiting member. The mounting frame is integrally formed on the first surface of the panel body facing the panel base. An installation space is formed within the mounting frame, and the circuit board is disposed within the installation space. The limiting member on the mounting frame can limit the circuit board along a first direction to prevent the circuit board from detaching from the installation space. Therefore, this application directly utilizes the mounting frame integrally formed with the panel body to install the circuit board, thus eliminating the need for the prior art's step of assembling the circuit board housing with the display panel, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the control panel components.

[0016] In one alternative embodiment, the limiting member is an elastic snap-fit ​​member that snaps onto the surface of the circuit board opposite to the first plate surface.

[0017] This embodiment uses flexible snap-fit ​​connectors to install the circuit board, thus eliminating the need for screwdrivers and other tools to quickly install and remove the circuit board, significantly reducing installation and maintenance time costs. Furthermore, the flexible snap-fit ​​connectors can compensate for dimensional tolerances between the circuit board and the mounting frame, making them suitable for different batches or models of circuit boards.

[0018] In one optional embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the circuit board is provided with a groove that extends through the circuit board along its thickness direction, and the elastic snap-fit ​​member is engaged with the portion of the circuit board located inside the groove.

[0019] With the structure of this embodiment, during the process of inserting the circuit board into the mounting space, the elastic snap-fit ​​component contacts the bottom wall of the groove, thereby undergoing elastic deformation under the pressure of the bottom wall to enter the groove. Further inserting the circuit board, the elastic snap-fit ​​component shifts away from the bottom wall of the groove, restoring its elastic deformation to its position inside the groove. At this point, the circuit board is secured between the first board surface and the elastic snap-fit ​​component. Therefore, this embodiment utilizes the groove to avoid excessive elastic deformation of the elastic snap-fit ​​component when pressed by the circuit board, reducing the resistance exerted by the elastic snap-fit ​​component on the circuit board and reducing the difficulty of inserting the circuit board between the elastic snap-fit ​​component and the first board surface.

[0020] In one alternative embodiment, the mounting frame includes:

[0021] A frame is disposed on the first plate surface, and the frame surrounds to form the installation space;

[0022] The ear portion is located on the frame and extends beyond the frame along the first direction;

[0023] The resilient snap-fit ​​component includes:

[0024] A connecting arm is attached to the inner surface of the ear.

[0025] A locking arm is connected to the connecting arm. The locking arm extends in the opposite direction of the first direction and is set at an angle to the connecting arm. The circuit board is located between the locking arm and the first plate surface. The locking arm can stop and limit the circuit board along the first direction.

[0026] In this embodiment, the connecting arm is connected to the ear that extends beyond the frame, which allows the locking arm to extend to a greater length and the connection point between the connecting arm and the ear to be further apart from the end of the locking arm. This allows for the application of a greater torque to the locking arm, making it easier for the locking arm to deform and reducing the difficulty of inserting the circuit board between the locking arm and the first plate surface.

[0027] In one alternative embodiment, the mounting frame includes:

[0028] A frame is disposed on the first plate surface, and the frame surrounds to form the installation space;

[0029] Multiple protrusions are provided at intervals along the circumference of the frame on the inner wall of the frame. The protrusions contact the outer peripheral surface of the circuit board to form a gap between the outer peripheral surface of the circuit board and the inner wall of the frame.

[0030] In this embodiment, the mounting frame includes a frame body and multiple protrusions. The multiple protrusions are spaced apart on the inner wall of the frame body along the circumference of the frame body. The protrusions can separate the outer peripheral surface of the circuit board from the inner wall of the frame body, thereby forming a gap between the two. When the mounting space is filled with adhesive, the adhesive can enter the gap to bond the outer peripheral surface of the circuit board to the frame body, further preventing the circuit board from falling out of the frame body.

[0031] In one optional embodiment, the panel body is inclined downwards from the rear to the front of the housing, and the display panel includes:

[0032] A water-blocking rib is provided on the first plate surface, and at least a portion of the water-blocking rib is located on the upper side of the mounting frame;

[0033] A water guide groove is provided on the surface of the panel base facing the first plate surface. At least a portion of the water guide groove is located on the upper side of the mounting frame and extends circumferentially along the mounting frame. A drain hole is provided in the water guide groove, which penetrates the panel base and faces the opening of the cylinder assembly.

[0034] At least a portion of the water guide channel is provided corresponding to the water-blocking rib, and the water-blocking rib is used to guide water from the first plate surface into the water guide channel.

[0035] In this embodiment, a water-blocking rib is provided on the first plate surface of the panel body. At least a portion of the water-blocking rib is located on the upper side of the mounting frame. When water enters from the gap between the panel body and the panel base, some water flows downward along the first plate surface, and another portion flows downward along the surface of the panel base towards the panel body. The water flowing downward along the first plate surface is blocked by the water-blocking rib and guided into the water guide channel under the action of the water-blocking rib, and then discharged into the cylinder assembly through the drain hole; the water flowing downward along the surface of the panel base towards the panel body directly enters the water guide channel and then discharges into the cylinder assembly through the drain hole. It can be seen that with this embodiment, water entering from the gap between the panel body and the panel base is intercepted by the water guide channel and discharged through the drain hole. Since at least a portion of the water guide channel is located on the upper side of the mounting frame used to mount the circuit board, the water intercepted by the water guide channel will not flow to the circuit board, thereby reducing the risk of water entering the circuit board.

[0036] In one optional embodiment, the panel body is provided with mounting holes, and the control panel assembly further includes:

[0037] A knob is rotatably disposed in the mounting hole, and the knob and the mounting frame are spaced apart along the width direction of the housing;

[0038] The water guide channel includes a first channel segment, a second channel segment, and a third channel segment. The first channel segment extends from the upper side of the mounting frame to the upper side of the knob. The second channel segment and the third channel segment both extend from the rear end of the panel base to the front end, and point from the rear side of the housing towards the front side. The second channel segment and the third channel segment are both inclined from top to bottom. The knob is located between the second channel segment and the third channel segment. The third channel segment is located between the knob and the mounting frame. The front end of the second channel segment and the front end of the third channel segment are both provided with drainage holes.

[0039] The water-blocking ribs are provided corresponding to the first channel section.

[0040] In this embodiment, the water guide channel further includes a second channel section and a third channel section. The knob is located between the second and third channel sections, and the third channel section is located between the knob and the mounting frame. When water flows laterally from the left side of the knob, it is intercepted by the second channel section to prevent the water from flowing laterally to the vicinity of the knob, thus reducing the risk of damage to the components inside the knob. If water needs to flow laterally from the left side of the knob to the vicinity of the circuit board, it will be intercepted a second time by the second and third channel sections, which will further reduce the risk of water flowing to the vicinity of the circuit board, thereby further reducing the risk of damage to the circuit board.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the water guide channel further includes a fourth channel located between the second channel segment and the knob, one end of the fourth channel segment being connected to the second channel segment and the other end being connected to the first channel segment.

[0042] In this embodiment, the water guide channel also includes a fourth channel located between the second channel and the knob. The two ends of the fourth channel are connected to the first channel and the second channel respectively. Through the fourth channel, the water located on the right side of the second channel in the first channel can be quickly guided to the second channel and then discharged through the drain hole, preventing the water in the first channel from overflowing when the amount of water in the first channel is large, and reducing the risk of damage to the components inside the knob.

[0043] In one optional embodiment, the connection between the first channel segment and the third channel segment is a first connection point, and the water-blocking ribs are arranged from the first portion corresponding to the first connection point towards both ends of the water-blocking ribs, with the water-blocking ribs being arranged at a gradually increasing position.

[0044] In this embodiment, the water-blocking ribs are positioned such that the first portion corresponding to the first connecting point gradually rises towards both ends of the ribs. This guides the water at both ends of the ribs to the first portion of the ribs. In other words, water that would normally enter the water guide channel is directed to the first connecting point of the guide channel, then enters the third channel section and is discharged into the cylinder assembly through the drain holes of the third channel section. Therefore, by adopting the structure of this embodiment, the amount of water at both ends of the first channel section can be reduced, preventing water from overflowing from both ends of the first channel section.

[0045] In one optional embodiment, the panel base is provided with a through hole, a portion of the mounting frame is located within the through hole, and one end of the mounting frame opposite to the panel body extends beyond the through hole along the first direction.

[0046] In this embodiment, the end of the mounting frame facing away from the panel body extends beyond the through hole on the panel base along a first direction. This allows water on the first panel surface to be guided away from the control panel assembly, reducing the risk of water contacting the components of the control panel assembly. Of course, the panel base may not have a through hole, in which case the mounting frame can be located within the space formed between the panel body and the panel base. Attached Figure Description

[0060] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0061] In this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "vertical," "horizontal," "lateral," and "longitudinal" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing this application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0062] Furthermore, in addition to indicating location or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0063] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," "connection," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0064] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are primarily used to distinguish different devices, elements, or components (which may be the same or different in specific type and construction), and are not intended to indicate or imply the relative importance or quantity of the indicated devices, elements, or components. Unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0065] Most existing washing machines have a control panel on the top of the machine body. The control panel has multiple control buttons for controlling the operation of the washing machine and a display window for displaying the working status of the washing machine. The working status of the washing machine can be controlled through the control panel.

[0066] The current assembly steps for control panel components are as follows: install the circuit board into the board box; assemble the board box with the display panel; install the display panel onto the panel mount. As can be seen, the current assembly steps for control panel components are rather cumbersome.

[0067] The clothing processing device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0068] like Figures 1 to 4As shown in the illustration, this application discloses a clothing processing device. Exemplarily, this clothing processing device can be a drum washing machine or a top-loading washing machine; this application does not limit this to either. The clothing processing device includes:

[0069] Housing 100. Housing 100 forms the overall appearance of the garment handling device. Housing 100 is hollow inside to form a receiving cavity. The receiving cavity is configured to accommodate multiple components of the garment handling device, such as circuitry, drive components, and drainage components. Housing 100 can be rectangular for placement against a wall. Alternatively, housing 100 can be cylindrical to accommodate circular components within the garment handling device.

[0070] A cylinder assembly is disposed within the housing 100. For example, the cylinder assembly may include an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder, with the outer cylinder disposed within the housing 100 and the inner cylinder rotatably disposed within the outer cylinder.

[0071] Control panel component 200 includes:

[0072] The panel holder 210 is located on the housing 100. The panel holder 210 can be detachably connected to the housing 100 via clips, screws, or other structures.

[0073] Display panel 220, including;

[0074] The panel body 221 is connected to the panel base 210. The panel body 221 has a first plate surface 202 and a second plate surface 203 disposed opposite to each other, with the first plate surface 202 facing the panel base 210. For example, the panel body 221 can be connected to the panel base 210 by means of adhesive, screw connection, snap-fit, etc. This application does not limit the connection relationship between the two.

[0075] The mounting frame 222 is disposed on the first panel 202 and integrally formed with the panel body 221, and the mounting frame 222 surrounds to form the mounting space 201. Specifically, the mounting frame 222 is annular, and the mounting space 201 formed by the mounting frame 222 has a mounting opening, which is positioned opposite to the first panel 202.

[0076] A limiting member 230 is provided on the mounting frame 222. For example, the limiting member 230 can be an elastic snap-fit ​​member; or the limiting member 230 can be a rigid protrusion, in which case the circuit board 240 has a certain elasticity, so as to snap into the rigid protrusion and the first plate surface 202; or, the limiting member 230 can be a screw.

[0077] Circuit board 240 is disposed within mounting space 201, and limiting member 230 is capable of positioning circuit board 240 along a first direction ( Figure 8The stop limit is indicated by the direction shown by the arrow in the middle, with the first direction being from the second plate surface 203 to the first plate surface 202. Specifically, the circuit board 240 can receive user commands and convert them into control signals to control the operation of components such as motors, heaters, and drain pumps; it has protection functions to prevent overload, short circuits, or abnormal temperatures; and it may also have a feedback function to detect abnormalities and alert the user.

[0078] In this application, the display panel 220 includes a panel body 221, a mounting frame 222, and a limiting member 230. The mounting frame 222 is integrally formed on the first surface 202 of the panel body 221 facing the panel base 210. A mounting space 201 is formed within the mounting frame 222, and the circuit board 240 is disposed within the mounting space 201. The limiting member 230 on the mounting frame 222 can limit the circuit board 240 along a first direction to prevent the circuit board 240 from falling out of the mounting space 201. Therefore, this application directly utilizes the mounting frame 222, which is integrally formed with the panel body 221, to mount the circuit board 240. This eliminates the need for the prior art's step of assembling the board box used to house the circuit board 240 with the display panel 220, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the control panel assembly 200.

[0079] Furthermore, since the circuit board 240 of this application is located within the mounting space 201 formed by the mounting frame 222, the mounting frame 222 surrounds the circuit board 240. In this way, the mounting frame 222 can block water on the first board surface 202, preventing water on the first board surface 202 from contacting the circuit board 240 and causing damage to the circuit board 240.

[0080] The assembly steps of the control panel assembly 200 of this application are as follows: insert the circuit board 240 into the mounting space 201 and use the limiting member 230 to prevent the circuit board 240 from coming out of the mounting space 201; install the panel body 221 onto the panel base 210.

[0081] Please see Figure 4 In one alternative embodiment, the limiting member 230 is an elastic snap-fit ​​member that snaps onto the surface of the circuit board 240 opposite to the first plate surface 202.

[0082] This embodiment uses a flexible snap-fit ​​connector to install the circuit board 240, so that the installation and removal of the circuit board 240 can be completed quickly without the need for tools such as screwdrivers, which greatly reduces the time cost of installation and maintenance; in addition, the flexible snap-fit ​​connector can compensate for the dimensional tolerance between the circuit board 240 and the mounting frame 222, and can adapt to different batches or models of circuit boards 240.

[0083] In some embodiments, the control panel assembly 200 further includes an adhesive, a portion of which is bonded within the gap between the circuit board 240 and the mounting frame 222; another portion of the adhesive covers the side of the circuit board 240 facing away from the first panel 202. The adhesive enhances the connection stability between the circuit board 240 and the mounting frame 222, and also provides waterproofing to the circuit board 240, preventing moisture from contacting the circuit board 240 and causing damage.

[0084] During the installation of the elastic snap-fit ​​component, the elastic snap-fit ​​component will come into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the circuit board 240, thereby being compressed or bent under the pressure of the outer peripheral surface of the circuit board 240 to avoid the circuit board 240. Since the outer peripheral surface of the circuit board 240 will cause the elastic snap-fit ​​component to produce a large elastic deformation when it is compressed, the elastic snap-fit ​​component will exert a large reaction force on the circuit board 240, which makes it difficult for the circuit board 240 to be snapped between the elastic snap-fit ​​component and the first board surface 202.

[0085] To reduce the difficulty of inserting the circuit board 240 into the elastic clip and the first board surface 202, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one optional embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the circuit board 240 is provided with a groove 241, which extends through the circuit board 240 along its thickness direction. The elastic snap-fit ​​member is engaged with the portion of the circuit board 240 located inside the groove 241. Specifically, the groove 241 is configured such that the bottom wall of the groove 241 is used to compress the elastic snap-fit ​​member, causing the elastic snap-fit ​​member to undergo elastic deformation.

[0086] With the structure of this embodiment, during the process of inserting the circuit board 240 into the mounting space 201, the elastic snap-fit ​​component contacts the bottom wall of the groove 241, thereby undergoing elastic deformation under the pressure of the bottom wall to enter the groove 241. Further inserting the circuit board 240, the elastic snap-fit ​​component shifts away from the bottom wall of the groove 241, and then returns to its elastic deformation to be located inside the groove 241. At this point, the circuit board 240 is secured between the first plate surface 202 and the elastic snap-fit ​​component. Therefore, this embodiment utilizes the groove 241 to avoid the elastic snap-fit ​​component, preventing excessive elastic deformation when the elastic snap-fit ​​component is pressed by the circuit board 240, reducing the resistance exerted by the elastic snap-fit ​​component on the circuit board 240, and reducing the difficulty of the circuit board 240 being secured between the elastic snap-fit ​​component and the first plate surface 202.

[0087] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one alternative embodiment, mounting frame 222 includes:

[0088] A frame 2221 is disposed on the first plate surface 202, and the frame 2221 surrounds and forms an installation space 201. The frame 2221 is used to accommodate the circuit board 240.

[0089] Ear portion 2222 is provided on frame 2221 and extends beyond frame 2221 in a first direction. For example, the ear portion 2222 can be provided on the end face of frame 2221 opposite to the first plate surface 202.

[0090] Flexible snap-fit ​​connectors include:

[0091] Connecting arm 231 is attached to the inner surface of ear 2222.

[0092] The locking arm 232 is connected to the connecting arm 231. The locking arm 232 extends in the opposite direction of the first direction and is set at an angle to the connecting arm 231. The circuit board 240 is located between the locking arm 232 and the first plate surface 202. The locking arm 232 can stop and limit the circuit board 240 in the first direction.

[0093] In this embodiment, the elastic snap-fit ​​component includes a connecting arm 231 and a locking arm 232 connected to each other. When the circuit board 240 is installed in the opposite direction of the first direction, its edge will press against the end of the locking arm 232. The force applied by the circuit board 240 to the locking arm 232 will form a torque, forcing the locking arm 232 to elastically bend and deform in a direction away from the circuit board 240 with the connection between the connecting arm 231 and the ear 2222 as the fulcrum. This structure can generate a sufficiently large displacement with a small material deformation. At the same time, during the deformation of the locking arm 232, the stress is distributed relatively evenly along the entire bending arc, avoiding stress concentration that could cause the locking arm 232 to break.

[0094] Furthermore, since the connecting arm 231 is connected to the ear 2222 extending beyond the frame 2221, this allows the locking arm 232 to extend to a greater length, making the connection point between the connecting arm 231 and the ear 2222 further away from the end of the locking arm 232. This allows for the application of a greater torque to the locking arm 232, making it easier for the locking arm 232 to deform and reducing the difficulty of inserting the circuit board 240 between the locking arm 232 and the first plate surface 202. Of course, the elastic locking element can also adopt structures such as elastic balls or elastic protrusions, and this application does not limit this. The mounting frame 222 may also not include the ear 2222, in which case the connecting arm 231 can be connected to the frame 2221.

[0095] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one alternative embodiment, mounting frame 222 includes:

[0096] The frame 2221 is located on the first panel 202, and the frame 2221 surrounds to form the installation space 201.

[0097] Multiple protrusions 2223 are provided at intervals along the circumference of the frame 2221 on the inner wall of the frame 2221. The protrusions 2223 contact the outer peripheral surface of the circuit board 240 to form a gap between the outer peripheral surface of the circuit board 240 and the inner wall of the frame 2221.

[0098] In this embodiment, the mounting frame 222 includes a frame body 2221 and a plurality of protrusions 2223. The plurality of protrusions 2223 are spaced apart along the circumference of the frame body 2221 on the inner wall of the frame body 2221. The protrusions 2223 can separate the outer peripheral surface of the circuit board 240 from the inner wall of the frame body 2221, thereby forming a gap between them. When adhesive is filled into the mounting space 201, the adhesive can enter the gap to bond the outer peripheral surface of the circuit board 240 to the frame body 2221, further preventing the circuit board 240 from falling out of the frame body 2221. Of course, the outer peripheral surface of the circuit board 240 can also be attached to the inner wall of the mounting frame 222, and this application does not limit this.

[0099] Since the garment handling device is typically in a humid environment, to prevent moisture from flowing to circuit board 240 and causing a short circuit, please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one optional embodiment, the panel body 221 is inclined from top to bottom in the direction from the rear to the front of the housing 100. That is, the panel body 221 is inclined relative to the height of the housing 100, and the rear end of the panel body 221 is higher than the front end of the panel body 221. The display panel 220 includes:

[0100] A water-blocking rib 223 is provided on the first plate surface 202, and at least a portion of the water-blocking rib 223 is located on the upper side of the mounting frame 222.

[0101] A water guide groove 211 is provided on the surface of the panel base 210 facing the first plate surface 202. At least a portion of the water guide groove 211 is located on the upper side of the mounting frame 222 and extends circumferentially along the mounting frame 222. A drain hole penetrating the panel base 210 is provided in the water guide groove 211, and the drain hole faces the cylinder opening of the cylinder assembly. At least a portion of the water guide groove 211 is correspondingly provided with a water-blocking rib 223, which is used to guide water on the first plate surface 202 into the water guide groove 211.

[0102] In this embodiment, a water-blocking rib 223 is provided on the first plate surface 202 of the panel body 221. At least a portion of the water-blocking rib 223 is located on the upper side of the mounting frame 222. When water enters from the gap between the panel body 221 and the panel base 210, some water will flow downward along the first plate surface 202, and another portion of water will flow downward along the surface of the panel base 210 toward the panel body 221. The water flowing downward along the first plate surface 202 will be blocked by the water-blocking rib 223 and guided into the water guide groove 211 by the water-blocking rib 223, and then discharged into the cylinder assembly through the drain hole; the water flowing downward along the surface of the panel base 210 toward the panel body 221 will directly enter the water guide groove 211 and then be discharged into the cylinder assembly through the drain hole. As can be seen, with this embodiment, water entering from the gap between the panel body 221 and the panel base 210 will be intercepted by the water guide channel 211 and discharged through the drain hole. At least part of the water guide channel 211 is located on the upper side of the mounting frame 222 for mounting the circuit board 240. Therefore, the water intercepted by the water guide channel 211 will not flow to the circuit board 240, thereby reducing the risk of water entering the circuit board 240.

[0103] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one optional embodiment, the panel body 221 is provided with mounting holes 2211, and the control panel assembly 200 further includes:

[0104] A knob 250 is rotatably disposed in a mounting hole 2211. The knob 250 and the mounting frame 222 are spaced apart along the width direction of the housing 100. The water guide channel 211 includes a first channel segment 212, a second channel segment 213, and a third channel segment 214. The first channel segment 212 extends from the upper side of the mounting frame 222 to the upper side of the knob 250. The second channel segment 213 and the third channel segment 214 both extend from the rear end of the panel base 210 to the front end, and point from the rear side of the housing 100 to the front side. The second channel segment 213 and the third channel segment 214 are both inclined from top to bottom. The knob 250 is located between the second channel segment 213 and the third channel segment 214. The third channel segment 214 is located between the knob 250 and the mounting frame 222. The front end of the second channel segment 213 and the front end of the third channel segment 214 are provided with drainage holes. The water baffle 223 is provided corresponding to the first channel segment 212.

[0105] In this embodiment, the water guide channel 211 includes a first channel segment 212, which extends from the upper side of the mounting frame 222 to the upper side of the knob 250. The water-blocking rib 223 is provided corresponding to the first channel segment 212. Therefore, the water-blocking rib 223 also extends from the upper side of the mounting frame 222 to the upper side of the knob 250. This not only prevents water flowing downward along the first plate surface 202 from flowing to the vicinity of the circuit board 240, but also prevents it from flowing to the vicinity of the knob 250, thereby preventing damage to the components inside the knob 250.

[0106] In addition, the water guide channel 211 also includes a second channel section 213 and a third channel section 214. The knob 250 is located between the second channel section 213 and the third channel section 214, and the third channel section 214 is located between the knob 250 and the mounting frame 222. When water flows laterally from the left side of the knob 250, it is intercepted by the second channel section 213 to prevent water from flowing laterally to the vicinity of the knob 250, thus reducing the risk of damage to the components inside the knob 250. If water needs to flow laterally from the left side of the knob 250 to the vicinity of the circuit board 240, it will be intercepted a second time by the second channel section 213 and the third channel section 214, which will further reduce the risk of water flowing to the vicinity of the circuit board 240, thereby further reducing the risk of damage to the circuit board 240. Of course, the water guide channel 211 may also only include the first channel section 212, in which case the drain hole can be located in the first channel section 212.

[0107] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In an optional embodiment, the water guide channel 211 further includes a fourth channel segment 215 located between the second channel segment 213 and the knob 250, one end of the fourth channel segment 215 being connected to the second channel segment 213 and the other end being connected to the first channel segment 212.

[0108] In this embodiment, the water guide channel 211 also includes a fourth channel 215 located between the second channel segment 213 and the knob 250. The two ends of the fourth channel segment 215 are respectively connected to the first channel segment 212 and the second channel segment 213. Through the fourth channel segment 215, the water located on the right side of the second channel segment 213 in the first channel segment 212 can be quickly guided to the second channel segment 213 and then discharged through the drain hole, preventing the water in the first channel segment 212 from overflowing when the amount of water in the first channel segment 212 is large, and reducing the risk of damage to the components inside the knob 250.

[0109] Generally, water is more likely to seep through the gap between the two ends of the panel body 221 along the arrangement direction of the knob 250 and the mounting frame 222 and the panel base 210. That is, when water seeps through the garment handling device, the two ends of the first groove section 212 hold a larger amount of water. To prevent water from overflowing from the two ends of the first groove section 212, please refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 In one optional embodiment, the connection between the first channel segment 212 and the third channel segment 214 is the first connection point 217. The first part 2231, which is set corresponding to the first connection point 217, gradually rises towards both ends of the water-blocking rib 223.

[0110] In this embodiment, the water-blocking rib 223 is positioned so that the first portion 2231 corresponding to the first connection 217 gradually rises towards both ends of the water-blocking rib 223. This guides the water at both ends of the water-blocking rib 223 to the first portion 2231 of the water-blocking rib 223. In other words, the water that would normally enter both ends of the water guide channel 211 is guided to the first connection 217 of the guide channel, and then enters the third channel section 214 and is discharged into the cylinder assembly through the drain holes of the third channel section 214. Therefore, by adopting the structure of this embodiment, the amount of water at both ends of the first channel section 212 can be reduced, preventing water from overflowing from both ends of the first channel section 212.

[0111] Of course, the height of the water-blocking rib 223 can remain unchanged or gradually decrease from the first part 2231 corresponding to the first connection 217 to both ends of the water-blocking rib 223; or, the position of the water-blocking rib 223 can gradually increase or decrease from one end to the other. This application does not limit this.

[0112] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one optional embodiment, the panel base 210 is provided with a through hole 216, a portion of the mounting frame 222 is located in the through hole 216, and one end of the mounting frame 222 away from the panel body 221 extends beyond the through hole 216 in a first direction.

[0113] In this embodiment, the end of the mounting frame 222 facing away from the panel body 221 extends beyond the through hole 216 on the panel base 210 along a first direction. This allows water on the first panel surface 202 to be guided outside the control panel assembly 200 via the mounting frame 222, reducing the risk of water contacting the components of the control panel assembly 200. Alternatively, the panel base 210 may not have the through hole 216; in this case, the mounting frame 222 can be located within the space formed between the panel body 221 and the panel base 210.
