Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This application proposes a garment handling device 10, including a housing 100, a roller (not shown), and a handle 200; the housing 100 includes a front shell 110 and a rear shell 120 that enclose a receiving cavity 130, and the front shell 110 is provided with a garment loading port 111 that communicates with the receiving cavity 130; the roller is rotatably disposed in the receiving cavity 130; the handle 200 is connected to the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120, and the handle 200 is formed with a gripping position 210 for holding.

[0024] It is understood that the drum is rotatably installed within the receiving cavity 130. By configuring the housing 100 into two parts, a front housing 110 and a rear housing 120, when assembling the garment handling device 10, the drum can be first installed on one of the front housing 110 and the rear housing 120, and then the front housing 110 and the rear housing 120 can be connected and installed, thereby achieving the storage of the main components such as the drum within the receiving cavity 130. By providing a garment inlet 111 on the front housing 110 that communicates with the receiving cavity 130, garments to be washed or dried can be placed into the drum through the garment inlet 111. Through the rotation of the drum, the garments are thoroughly washed or dried.

[0025] Specifically, the drum is axially tilted upwards along the direction from the rear shell 120 to the front shell 110, meaning the drum remains tilted. By setting the drum to tilt upwards along the direction from the rear shell 120 to the front shell 110, the opening direction of the drum opposite to the clothes inlet 111 also tilts upwards. For small countertop washing machines, users can more easily load and unload clothes through the clothes inlet 111. At the same time, the tilt angle makes the tumbling path of clothes in the drum more three-dimensional, reducing stacking and ensuring that each piece of clothing has full contact with the water flow. Compared to a horizontally set drum, this allows for more thorough washing of clothes.

[0026] By connecting the handle 200 to the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120, when the user lifts and carries the garment by gripping the handle 200 at the buckle position 210, the pulling force on the handle 200 can be simultaneously transmitted to both the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120. This avoids the possibility of the shell 100 breaking at the connection point between the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120 due to uneven force distribution when only one side of the front shell 110 or the rear shell 120 is subjected to force. At the same time, the handle 200, which connects both the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120, can be regarded as a connection structure connecting the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120, strengthening the connection between the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120. This prevents the shell 100 from loosening due to its own vibration during operation of the garment handling device 10, reduces the risk of deformation of the shell 100, and improves the structural reliability of the garment handling device 10.

[0027] In some embodiments, the front housing 110 is provided with a communication port 121 communicating with the receiving cavity 130, and the handle 200 is installed at the communication port 121. The handle 200 extends into the receiving cavity 130 through the communication port 121, and the portion of the handle 200 extending into the receiving cavity 130 is connected to the front housing 110 and the rear housing 120. On the one hand, this allows the connection structure between the handle 200 and the front housing 110 and the rear housing 120 to be hidden inside the receiving cavity 130, improving the aesthetics of the clothing handling device 10, and preventing the connection structure from being affected by external impacts or contamination, thus ensuring the stability of the connection between the handle 200 and the front housing 110 and the rear housing 120. On the other hand, after the handle 200 is partially or fully extended into the receiving cavity 130, the height of the handle 200 extending out of the housing 100 can be reduced, which can reduce the risk of the handle 200 colliding with surrounding objects, and at the same time, can reduce the volume of the clothing handling device 10, enabling the clothing handling device 10 to be installed and placed in a limited space.

[0028] It is understandable that the connecting port 121 can also be located on the rear shell 120, or simultaneously on both the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120. The handle 200 extends into the receiving cavity 130 through the connecting port 121. Regardless of whether the connecting port 121 is located on the rear shell 120, or simultaneously on both the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120, the handle 200 can be connected to both the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120 without affecting the normal use of the handle 200.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the handle 200 is disposed in the receiving cavity 130, and the handle position 210 includes a handle groove 220 with one end open, which communicates with the communication port 121.

[0030] By concealing the handle 200 entirely within the receiving cavity 130, the handle 200 has no protrusions on the outer surface of the housing 100, further enhancing the aesthetics of the garment handling device 10. This also prevents deformation or breakage due to impact when the handle 200 protrudes from the housing 100. The handle groove 220 communicates with the outside via the connecting port 121. When a user moves the garment handling device 10, they can grip the handle 200 by inserting their hand into the handle groove 220 through the connecting port 121.

[0031] Specifically, the handle 200 is positioned near the top of the front housing 110 and the rear housing 120. It is understood that the main components of the garment handling device 10 are mostly located in the lower part of the housing 100, with a lower overall center of gravity. By positioning the handle 200 near the top of the housing 100, the handle 200 avoids obstructing the movement of main components such as the rollers and motor located in the lower part of the receiving cavity 130. Simultaneously, when the user holds the handle 200 to move the garment handling device 10, the line formed by the point of force application of the hand and the center of gravity of the garment handling device 10 is approximately parallel to the vertical direction. This allows the garment handling device 10 to maintain a natural vertical position during handling, preventing the device from tilting backward due to the point of force application being biased to one side, or tilting forward due to the point of force application being biased towards the rear housing 120. This also prevents the user from needing to apply additional external force to balance the device when it tilts, and prevents the user's hand from slipping out of the handle slot 220 due to the device tilting.

[0032] Optionally, the handle groove 220 extends horizontally. When a user needs to move the garment handling device 10, they insert their hand horizontally into the connecting port 121, with their fingers naturally spread out and resting against the top wall of the handle groove 220. By bending their palm, the fingers are made roughly perpendicular to the palm, thus gripping the handle 200. By setting the handle groove 220 horizontally, when the hand performs the gripping action in a human-familiar manner, the fingers supporting the garment handling device 10 remain horizontal, thereby keeping the garment handling device 10 horizontal and preventing it from falling off due to tilting. At the same time, with the fingers roughly perpendicular to the palm when gripping, the arm remains in a vertical position. Compared to bending the elbow, the arm muscles are in a more comfortable state, making it easier to move the garment handling device 10.

[0033] Considering that the handle 200 is entirely hidden inside the receiving cavity 130 and needs to be connected to the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120, connecting the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120 first to form the receiving cavity 130 would increase the difficulty of installing the handle 200 within the receiving cavity 130. Connecting the handle 200 to the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120 first would be disadvantageous for subsequent installation and connection of the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120.

[0034] Therefore, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Taking the example of the connection port 121 being located on the rear shell 120, in some embodiments, the inner wall of the front shell 110 is provided with a first connecting part 112, and the first connecting part 112 is provided with a first connecting hole; the handle 200 is provided with a second connecting hole 230 at one end of the slot 221 away from the handle groove 220, and the second connecting hole 230 communicates with the handle groove 220; the handle 200 and the front shell 110 are connected and fixed by a first connector passing through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole 230.

[0035] By providing a first connecting part 112 on the inner wall of the front shell 110, and a second connecting hole 230 communicating with the handle groove 220 at one end of the handle 200 away from the groove 221 of the handle groove 220, the handle 200 can be connected to the rear shell 120 first, and then the front shell 110 can be connected to the rear shell 120. After the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120 are connected to form a complete shell 100, the handle 200 can be connected to the front shell 110 through the connecting hole 121. Specifically, the first connecting member is inserted into the handle groove 220 through the connecting hole 121. Since the second connecting hole 230 communicates with the handle groove 220, the first connecting member can be sequentially inserted through the second connecting hole 230 and the first connecting hole to achieve a fixed connection between the handle 200 and the first connecting part 112, that is, to achieve a fixed connection between the handle 200 and the front shell 110. This installation method allows the handle 200 to be connected to the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120 respectively, while avoiding any impact on the complete installation of the shell 100 itself.

[0036] Specifically, the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole 230 can be configured as internally threaded holes. The first connecting component includes, but is not limited to, bolts or screws. The handle 200 is fixedly connected to the front housing 110 by the threaded connection between the bolts or screws and the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole 230. Alternatively, the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole 230 can be configured as smooth round holes. The first connecting component includes, but is not limited to, screws or pins. The handle 200 is fixedly connected to the front housing 110 by the interference fit between the screws or pins and the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole 230.

[0037] Optionally, the axes of the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole 230 are horizontally arranged. When the handle groove 220 is horizontally arranged, the first connector can be directly inserted into the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole 230 in the horizontal direction within the handle groove 220, reducing the installation difficulty of the first connector.

[0038] The first connecting part 112 can be a columnar protrusion or a plate-like protrusion provided on the inner wall of the front shell 110, and the specific shape is not limited here. Furthermore, a reinforcing rib is provided between the first connecting part 112 and the front shell 110 to improve the connection strength between the first connecting part 112 and the front shell 110.

[0039] In other embodiments, the communication port 121 may also be provided on the front shell 110. Correspondingly, the rear shell 120 is provided with the first connecting part 112 described above. The first connecting part 112 is provided with a first connecting hole. The handle 200 is first connected to the front shell 110, then the front shell 110 is connected to the rear shell 120, and finally the handle 200 and the rear shell 120 are fixedly connected by the first connector passing through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole 230.

[0040] Please see Figure 7 In some embodiments, the garment handling device 10 further includes a support frame 300 disposed within the receiving cavity 130. Specifically, the support frame 300 includes a crossbeam 310 and two support plates 320, which are spaced apart along the length of the crossbeam 310 and connected to the housing 100. The two ends of the crossbeam 310 along its length are respectively connected to the two support plates 320, and a roller is disposed between the two support plates 320.

[0041] Considering that small desktop washing machines are small in size and light in weight, they are more prone to vibration when the drum rotates at high speed. By setting support plates 320 on both sides of the drum, the drum can be supported and limited. Compared with the drum being directly connected to the housing 100, the impact of drum vibration on the housing 100 can be reduced, the stability of the clothes handling device 10 can be improved, and the noise during operation can be reduced.

[0042] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the crossbeam 310 is provided with a plug hole 311, and the end of the handle 200 away from the slot 221 of the handle 200 groove is also provided with a connecting protrusion 290, which is plugged into the plug hole 311.

[0043] It is understandable that, taking the example of the connecting protrusion 290 being inserted into the insertion hole 311 along the first direction (the X-axis direction in the figure), the first direction can be regarded as the installation direction of the handle 200 within the receiving cavity 130. Taking the length direction of the crossbeam 310 as the second direction (the Y-axis direction in the figure), the length direction of the crossbeam 310 is perpendicular to the first direction, thus enabling the crossbeam 310 to achieve an indirect connection with the housing 100 through the support plate 320. By providing the connecting protrusion 290 at one end of the handle 200 away from the slot 221 of the handle 200, and inserting the connecting protrusion 290 into the insertion hole 311 on the crossbeam 310, on the one hand, when the handle 200 is subjected to tension, the insertion and engagement between the connecting protrusion 290 and the insertion hole 311 can be regarded as the connection structure between the handle 200 and the housing 100. The handle 200 can transfer part of the tension to the crossbeam 310 through the connecting protrusion 290, reducing the force at the connection between the handle 200 and the first connecting part 112. On the other hand, the crossbeam 310 can transmit the tensile force to the support plate 320, and then the support plate 320 can distribute the force to the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120, thereby further realizing the distributed force distribution of the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120.

[0044] Please see Figure 4In some embodiments, the inner wall of the rear shell 120 is provided with a second connecting part 122, and the second connecting part 122 is provided with a third connecting hole; the handle 200 is provided with a third connecting part 240, and the third connecting part 240 is provided with a fourth connecting hole; the handle 200 and the rear shell 120 are connected and fixed by a second connector passing through the third connecting hole and the fourth connecting hole.

[0045] Specifically, the third and fourth connecting holes can be configured as internally threaded holes, and the second connecting component includes, but is not limited to, bolts or screws. The handle 200 is fixedly connected to the rear housing 120 by the threaded connection between the bolts or screws and the third and fourth connecting holes. Alternatively, the third and fourth connecting holes can be configured as smooth round holes, and the second connecting component includes, but is not limited to, screws or pins. The handle 200 is fixedly connected to the rear housing 120 by the interference fit between the screws or pins and the third and fourth connecting holes.

[0046] Optionally, the axes of the third and fourth connecting holes are vertically aligned. When the handle groove 220 is horizontal, the handle 200 is subjected to both vertical and horizontal tension when the user grips it. By setting the axes of the third and fourth connecting holes vertically, the second connector vertically connects the handle 200 and the rear housing 120, improving the horizontal shear resistance at the connection point between the handle 200 and the rear housing 120. Correspondingly, when the axes of the first and second connecting holes 230 are horizontally aligned, the first connector horizontally connects the handle 200 and the front housing 110, improving the vertical shear resistance at the connection point between the handle 200 and the front housing 110, thus comprehensively improving the horizontal and vertical connection strength of the connection between the handle 200 and the housing 100.

[0047] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the rear shell 120 includes a base 123 and a rear cover 124. The rear cover 124 is curved and connected to the base 123. The rear cover 124 is located above the base 123. Along the direction away from the front shell 110, the distance between the rear cover 124 and the base 123 gradually decreases. A connecting port 121 is provided on the rear cover 124, and a slot 221 is inclined upward in the horizontal direction.

[0048] It is understandable that the internal stress of the curved surface structure is more dispersed than that of the flat structure after injection molding. At the same time, when the handle 200 is subjected to tension and the force is transmitted to the back cover 124, the curved surface of the back cover 124 can disperse the tension to the entire back cover 120 through the curvature of the surface, thus avoiding stress concentration at the connection between the handle 200 and the back cover 124.

[0049] Because the garment handling device 10 is small in size, when users carry it, they usually lower their hands above it to grip the handle 200. By setting the slot 221 to be tilted upward in the horizontal direction, the hands can be inserted diagonally downward into the handle slot 220 without having to lower them to the same height as the slot 221 before inserting them horizontally into the handle slot 220. This makes it easier for users to grip the handle 200.

[0050] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the handle 200 includes a main body 250, a groove 260, and a skirt 270; the main body 250 is connected to the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120; the groove 260 is connected to the main body 250 and cooperates with the main body 250 to form a handle groove 220, and the groove 221 is provided in the groove 260; the skirt 270 is arranged around the outer periphery of the groove 221, the skirt 270 abuts against the shell 100, and surrounds the communication opening 121.

[0051] Specifically, the shape of the side of the skirt 270 facing the rear cover 124 is adapted to the shape of the inner wall of the rear cover 124. That is, the outer side of the skirt 270 is set to an arc shape consistent with the curvature of the rear cover 124, so that the skirt 270 can fit against the inner wall of the rear cover 124, reducing the gap between the handle 200 and the rear cover 124, and preventing external dust and other contaminants from entering the receiving cavity 130 through the connecting port 121. At the same time, when the handle 200 is subjected to horizontal pulling force, it tends to move towards the connecting port 121, so that the handle 200 presses against the rear cover 124. By providing the skirt 270 around the outer periphery of the slot 221, the contact area between the end of the handle 200 with the slot 221 and the rear cover 124 is increased, which can disperse the force of the handle 200 on the rear cover 124.

[0052] Considering that when the skirt 270 abuts against the back cover 124 to disperse the force exerted by the handle 200 on the back cover 124, the skirt 270 is also simultaneously subjected to the reaction force of the back cover 124. In order to strengthen the connection between the skirt 270 and the slot 260, in some embodiments, the handle 200 further includes a reinforcing rib 280, which is connected to the outside of the slot 260 and the skirt 270.

[0053] Furthermore, along the direction toward the bottom of the housing 100, the length of the slot portion 260 in the horizontal direction gradually decreases; along the direction toward the slot 221, the end of the slot portion 260 near the slot 221 is flared.

[0054] As described above, the distance between the rear cover 124 and the base 123 gradually decreases along the direction away from the front shell 110. The rear cover 124 can be considered as a quarter sphere, and the space inside the rear cover 124 is smaller the closer it is to the top of the shell 100. Along the direction towards the bottom of the shell 100, the length of the slot 260 gradually decreases in the horizontal direction, causing the end of the slot 260 near the connecting opening 121 to be inclined, to accommodate the shape where the upper space of the rear cover 124 is smaller than the lower space. By flaring out the end of the slot 260 near the slot 221, the area of ​​the slot 221 is increased, making it easier for the user to pass their hand through the slot 221 and insert it into the handle slot 220 when gripping the handle 200.

[0055] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, the main body 250 includes an upper cover 251 and a lower cover 252 that overlap each other. One of the upper cover 251 and the lower cover 252 has a connecting post 2521 at one end away from the slot 221, and the other has a through hole at one end away from the slot 221. The connecting post 2521 passes through the through hole in a horizontal direction. One of the upper cover 251 and the lower cover 252 has a first lug 241 on its outer wall, and the other has a second lug 242 on its outer wall. The upper cover 251 and the lower cover 252 are connected and fixed by a third connector that passes through the first lug 241 and the second lug 242 in a vertical direction.

[0056] By configuring the main body 250 as a split structure comprising an upper cover 251 and a lower cover 252, the upper cover 251 and the lower cover 252 are closed to form a hollow structure, and the internal cavity can be used to form the handle groove 220. Simultaneously, the upper cover 251 and the lower cover 252 can be separately injection molded, which reduces the difficulty and cost of mold processing compared to the one-piece molding of the handle 200. Furthermore, the material thickness can be optimized according to the functional requirements of different areas of the main body 250. For example, if the upper cover 251 needs to withstand hand pressure, its thickness can be increased accordingly, while the thickness of the lower cover 252 can be decreased, thereby reducing material usage and lowering design costs.

[0057] Specifically, the first lug 241 and the second lug 242 constitute the aforementioned third connecting part 240. The first lug 241 and the second lug 242 are provided with internal threaded holes. The third connecting component includes, but is not limited to, bolts or screws. The upper cover 251 and the lower cover 252 are fixedly connected by the bolts or screws threadedly connected to the first lug 241 and the second lug 242. The third connecting component can also be a screw, which is inserted through the first lug 241 and the second lug 242 to fix the upper cover 251 and the lower cover 252. Of course, the upper cover 251 and the lower cover 252 can also be fixedly connected by other methods such as bonding or snap-fitting; no specific limitations are made here.

[0058] Please see Figures 2 to 4In some embodiments, the inner peripheral wall of the front shell 110 is provided with a plurality of buckles 140, and the inner peripheral wall of the rear shell 120 is provided with a plurality of retaining rings 150 corresponding to the plurality of buckles 140; the buckles 140 extend toward the retaining rings 150, and the end of the buckles 140 is provided with an anti-detachment part 141; the retaining rings 150 are provided with a retaining interface 151, the buckles 140 pass through the retaining interface 151, and the retaining rings 150 stop the anti-detachment part 141 from disengaging from the retaining interface 151 in the opposite direction of passing through.

[0059] For example, the front shell 110 is located in front of the rear shell 120. A latch 140 is disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the front shell 110 and extends rearward. Using the end face where the front shell 110 and rear shell 120 connect as a reference surface, several latches 140 are spaced circumferentially along this reference surface. After the latch 140 aligns with the retaining ring 150 disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the rear shell 120, the front shell 110 and rear shell 120 move relative to each other. The anti-detachment part 141 is compressed and deformed during its passage through the latching interface 151. After the anti-detachment part 141 has completely passed through the latching interface 151, it returns to its original shape. The retaining ring 150 stops the anti-detachment part 141 from disengaging from the latching interface 151 in the opposite direction of its passage, thus confining the anti-detachment part 141 to the side of the retaining ring 150 opposite to the front shell 110, thereby achieving the connection between the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120.

[0060] The side wall of the retaining ring 150 may also be provided with a reset port that communicates with the card interface 151. When the anti-detachment part 141 moves to the reset port, it returns to its original state. The anti-detachment part 141 is engaged with the reset port. However, if it does not completely pass through the card interface 151, the retaining ring 150 can also stop the anti-detachment part 141 from disengaging from the card interface 151 in the opposite direction of its passage.

[0061] Similarly, in some embodiments, the inner peripheral wall of the front shell 110 is provided with a plurality of retaining rings 150, and the inner peripheral wall of the rear shell 120 is provided with a plurality of buckles 140 corresponding one-to-one with the retaining rings 150; the buckles 140 extend toward the retaining rings 150, and the end of the buckle 140 is provided with an anti-detachment part 141; the retaining ring 150 is provided with a locking interface 151, the buckle 140 passes through the locking interface 151, and the retaining ring 150 stops the anti-detachment part 141 from disengaging from the locking interface 151 in the opposite direction of passing through. The same effect as described above can also be achieved, and will not be described in detail here.

[0062] Unlike the above, in one embodiment, the inner peripheral wall of the front shell 110 is provided with a retaining ring 150 and a buckle 140 spaced apart, and the inner peripheral wall of the rear shell 120 is also provided with a retaining ring 150 and a buckle 140; the buckle 140 extends toward the retaining ring 150, and the end of the buckle 140 is provided with an anti-detachment part 141; the retaining ring 150 is provided with a locking interface 151, the buckle 140 passes through the locking interface 151, and the retaining ring 150 stops the anti-detachment part 141 from disengaging from the locking interface 151 in the opposite direction of passing through. After the buckles 140 on the front shell 110 and the retaining rings 150 on the rear shell 120 are aligned, and after the buckles 140 on the rear shell 120 and the retaining rings 150 on the front shell 110 are aligned, the rear shell 120 is moved toward the front shell 110 to achieve interlocking between each buckle 140 and each retaining ring 150, thereby achieving a tight connection between the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120.

[0063] Of course, the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120 can also be connected and fixed by bolts. The specific connection method is not limited. The above is only a specific description of some embodiments.
