Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing processing equipment technology, and in particular to the outer shell of clothing processing equipment and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Most household appliances, such as drum washing machines and dryers, adopt a front-opening door structure. The door of these appliances is usually hinged to the front panel of the machine body. Users can put in or take out clothes by opening or closing the door. In order to facilitate observation of the working status of the drum or dryer, the door is often equipped with a glass window, which makes the door relatively heavy. During long-term use, the weight of the door mainly acts on the hinge. The hinge is prone to deformation or loosening due to concentrated stress, which in turn causes the door to sag and jam during opening or closing, affecting the smoothness of use.

[0003] In existing technology, a limiting pin is installed near the lock hook on the door, and a limiting hole is installed at the corresponding position on the front panel. When the door is closed, the limiting pin is inserted into the limiting hole, guiding the lock hook into the lock hole and providing support to the door to a certain extent. However, this support method has the following shortcomings: First, the support effect is limited, and it only works when the door is almost completely closed; second, when the door is open, the limiting hole is exposed to the external environment, and dust, lint, and moisture can easily enter it. After long-term use, this can cause contamination or blockage of the inner wall of the limiting hole, resulting in a decrease in the fitting accuracy between the limiting pin and the limiting hole. This can cause the door to jam during opening or closing, affecting not only the smoothness of opening and closing but also potentially preventing the door from closing reliably.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a garment processing equipment casing and garment processing equipment to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a housing for a garment processing device that can effectively support the door, prevent the door from sagging, maintain the cleanliness of the limiting groove, ensure the precision of the fit between the limiting component and the limiting groove, and improve the smoothness of the door opening and closing.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] The garment processing equipment housing includes:

[0008] The machine body includes a front panel with a dispensing port, and the door is hinged to the front panel for closing or opening the dispensing port.

[0009] The support assembly includes a limiting member, a limiting groove, and a sealing member. One of the limiting member and the limiting groove is disposed on the door body, and the other of the limiting member and the limiting groove is disposed on the front plate. When the door body closes the delivery port, the limiting member is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0010] The sealing member is slidably disposed in the limiting groove and elastically connected to the bottom wall of the limiting groove. The sealing member can block the opening of the limiting groove after the limiting member is disengaged from the limiting groove, and can be pushed into the limiting groove by the limiting member when the door is closed to the preset position.

[0011] The preset position is where the angle between the door and the front panel is reduced to 2.5% to 12.5% ​​of the angle when the door is fully open.

[0012] The outer casing of this garment processing device allows the limiting component to insert into the limiting groove when the door is closed to a preset position. This provides support to the door even before it is fully closed, effectively distributing the force at the hinge between the door and the front panel, preventing sagging due to the door's own weight, and ensuring smooth opening and closing. Simultaneously, a sealing component within the limiting groove automatically seals the groove opening when the limiting component disengages, preventing dust, lint, and moisture from entering the groove, maintaining internal cleanliness, and improving the fit between the limiting component and the limiting groove, ensuring long-term stability. Furthermore, the sealing component automatically resets via an elastic connection and can be smoothly pushed back in by the limiting component during door closing. The structure is simple, requiring no additional user operation, and is convenient to use.

[0013] Optionally, the outer casing of the garment processing equipment includes at least two of the support components, which are symmetrically arranged relative to the hinge joint between the door and the front panel. This allows the door to achieve a more uniform support effect when closed, effectively dispersing the concentrated force of the door's weight at the junction and further reducing the stress on the hinge joint between the door and the front panel.

[0014] Optionally, the limiting member is constructed in the shape of a frustum. Along the direction in which the limiting member is inserted into the limiting groove, the diameter of the limiting member gradually decreases. The shape of the limiting groove matches the shape of the limiting member. Through the above design, a guiding and positioning function can be gradually formed during the insertion of the limiting member, making the insertion of the limiting member smoother and forming a stable support at the final mating position, further improving the limiting effect and structural reliability.

[0015] Alternatively, the limiting member can be cylindrical, and the shape of the limiting groove can match the shape of the limiting member. The cylindrical limiting member has a simple processing technology and low manufacturing cost, while also achieving a stable insertion and support effect.

[0016] Optionally, the end of the limiting member inserted into the limiting groove is provided with a first chamfer structure, and / or the opening of the limiting groove is provided with a second chamfer structure, which can prevent jamming during the insertion or removal of the limiting member from the limiting groove, improve guidance, make the insertion and removal process smoother, and improve the user's operating feel during the opening and closing of the door.

[0017] Optionally, the front plate is provided with a mounting portion that is recessed inward along the axial direction of the delivery port, and the support assembly further includes a mating component. The mating component is provided with the limiting groove. The mating component is integrally formed or fixedly assembled to one of the door body and the mounting portion, and the limiting component is integrally formed or fixedly assembled to the other of the door body and the mounting portion.

[0018] By integrally molding the limiting components and mating parts onto the mounting portions of the door and front panel, the number of parts is reduced, assembly errors are avoided, and the overall strength and stability of the structure are improved. Simultaneously, production and assembly costs are reduced, and the reliability and service life of the garment processing equipment's casing are enhanced. The limiting components and mating parts are fixedly mounted on the mounting portions of the door and front panel, ensuring a secure connection while providing ease of disassembly and replacement. If components wear or are damaged, the mating parts or limiting components can be replaced individually, reducing maintenance costs and improving the maintainability and adaptability of the garment processing equipment's casing.

[0019] Optionally, the support assembly further includes an elastic element, one end of which abuts against the sealing element and the other end of which abuts against the bottom wall of the limiting groove. The elastic element is used to provide elastic force to the sealing element to seal the opening of the limiting groove.

[0020] By setting an elastic element, a continuous elastic force can be provided to the sealing element. After the limiting element disengages from the limiting groove, the sealing element will automatically return to its original position to seal the groove. When the door is closed to the preset position, the limiting element and the limiting element will engage. The elastic element can be compressed under the push of the limiting element to store elastic potential energy. When the door is opened again, the sealing element will seal the groove of the limiting groove.

[0021] Optionally, the sealing member has a positioning groove on one side facing the bottom wall of the limiting groove, and one end of the elastic member is limited in the positioning groove;

[0022] And / or, the bottom wall of the limiting groove is provided with a positioning post, and the other end of the elastic element is sleeved on the positioning post.

[0023] This design reliably limits the positions of both ends of the elastic element, preventing it from shifting or falling off during stress or long-term use. It ensures that the elastic element always provides stable elastic force to the sealing element, thereby improving the reliability of the sealing element's reset and the sealing effect of the limiting groove, and extending the service life of the overall structure.

[0024] Optionally, one of the sidewalls of the limiting groove and the sealing member is provided with a guide hole, the guide hole extending along the axial direction of the limiting groove, and the other of the sidewalls of the limiting groove and the sealing member is provided with a protrusion, the protrusion slidingly engaging with the guide hole to ensure the stability of the movement of the sealing member, and the engagement between the protrusion and the guide hole can restrict the sealing member from falling out of the limiting groove, ensuring the reliability of the sealing member.

[0025] Optionally, the sidewall of the limiting groove is provided with the guide hole, the sealing member is provided with a connecting arm on the side facing the bottom wall of the limiting groove, the protrusion is provided on the connecting arm, and the side of the protrusion facing the sidewall of the limiting groove is provided with a guide slope, the guide slope is used to guide the protrusion to be assembled into the guide hole.

[0026] By setting a connecting arm, elastic deformation along the radial direction of the limiting groove can be provided. Combined with the function of the guide slope, the protrusion can be smoothly inserted into the guide hole during the assembly process, which reduces the assembly difficulty and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0027] Another objective of this invention is to provide a garment handling device that can prevent door sagging, improve the smoothness of door opening and closing, extend the service life of the door, and enhance the user experience.

[0028] A garment processing device includes a garment processing unit and a garment processing device housing, wherein the garment processing unit is disposed within the garment processing device housing.

[0029] This garment processing device can provide effective support to the door without affecting the feel of closing it, reducing the stress on the hinge between the door and the front panel, preventing the door from sagging, and keeping the limit groove clean and improving the overall aesthetics through the sealing parts. This ensures the sealing performance and smooth opening and closing of the garment processing device during long-term use.

[0030] Beneficial effects:

[0031] The garment processing device housing provided by this utility model allows the limiting component to be inserted into the limiting groove when the door is closed to a preset position. This provides support to the door before it is fully closed, effectively distributing the force at the hinge between the door and the front panel, preventing sagging due to the door's own weight, and ensuring smooth opening and closing. Simultaneously, the sealing component inside the limiting groove automatically seals the groove opening when the limiting component disengages, preventing dust, lint, and moisture from entering the limiting groove, maintaining internal cleanliness, and improving the fitting accuracy between the limiting component and the limiting groove, ensuring long-term stability. Furthermore, the sealing component achieves automatic reset through an elastic connection and can be smoothly pushed in by the limiting component during door closing. The structure is simple, requires no additional user operation, and is convenient to use.

[0032] The garment processing device provided by this utility model can effectively support the door without affecting the closing feel, reduce the stress at the hinge between the door and the front panel, prevent the door from sagging, and keep the limiting groove clean and improve the overall aesthetics through the sealing component, thereby ensuring the sealing performance and smooth opening and closing of the garment processing device during long-term use.

[0048] This embodiment provides a housing for a garment processing device, such as... Figure 1As shown, the outer casing of the garment handling equipment includes a front panel 100, a door 200, a support assembly 300, and a sealing member 410. The front panel 100 has a dispensing port 110. The door 200 is hinged to the front panel 100 and is used to close or open the dispensing port 110. The support assembly 300 includes a limiting member 310, a limiting groove 321, and a sealing member 410. One of the limiting member 310 and the limiting groove 321 is disposed on the door 200, and the other is disposed on the front panel 100. The door 200 closes the dispensing port 110. At time 0, the limiting member 310 is inserted into the limiting groove 321, and the sealing member 410 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 321 and elastically connected to the bottom wall of the limiting groove 321. The sealing member 410 can seal the opening of the limiting groove 321 after the limiting member 310 is disengaged from the limiting groove 321, and can be pushed into the limiting groove 321 by the limiting member 310 when the door 200 is closed to the preset position. The preset position is the position where the included angle between the door 200 and the front panel 100 is reduced to 2.5% to 12.5% ​​of the angle when the door 200 is fully open. When the door 200 is closed to the preset position, the limiting member 310 can be inserted into the limiting groove 321, thus providing support for the door 200 before it is fully closed. This effectively distributes the force at the hinge between the door 200 and the front panel 100, preventing sagging due to the weight of the door 200 and ensuring smooth opening and closing. At the same time, the sealing member 410 in the limiting groove 321 can automatically seal the groove opening when the limiting member 310 is disengaged, preventing dust, lint, and moisture from entering the limiting groove 321, keeping the interior clean, and improving the fitting accuracy between the limiting member 310 and the limiting groove 321, ensuring long-term stability. In addition, the sealing member 410 achieves automatic reset through elastic connection and can be smoothly pushed in by the limiting member 310 during the closing process of the door 200. The structure is simple, requires no additional operation from the user, and is convenient to use.

[0049] For example, when the washing machine door 200 is fully open, the angle between the door 200 and the front panel 100 is approximately 90° to 180°, specifically 90°, 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°, 120°, 125°, 130°, 135°, 140°, 145°, 150°, 155°, 160°, 165°, 170°, 175°, 180°, etc. The preset position is where the included angle between the door body 200 and the front panel 100 is reduced to 2.5% to 12.5% ​​of the fully opened angle of the door body 200. Specifically, it can be 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, 10%, 10.5%, 11%, 11.5%, 12%, 12.5%, etc. The installation position of the limiting member 310 and the limiting groove 321 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs so that the limiting member 310 cooperates with the limiting groove 321 in the final stage of closing the door, so as not to affect the overall closing feel and to provide support for the door body 200 to prevent the door body 200 from sagging.

[0050] In this embodiment, taking the angle between the door 200 and the front panel 100 as 120° when the door 200 is fully open as an example, the preset position is 2.5% to 12.5% ​​of the angle when the door 200 is fully open. It can be seen that when the door 200 is closed to a position where the angle between it and the front panel 100 is 3° to 15°, the limiting member 310 is inserted into the limiting groove 321. Specifically, the limiting groove can be 3°, 3.5°, 4°, 4.5°, 5°, 5.5°, 6°, 6.5°, 7°, 7.5°, 8°, 8.5°, 9°, 9.5°, 10°, 10.5°, 11°, 11.5°, 12.5°, 13°, 13.5°, 14°, 14.5°, 15°, etc. In this embodiment, it is preferable that the limiting member 310 begins to be inserted into the limiting groove 321 when the door 200 is closed to an angle of 5° with the front panel 100, so as not to affect the closing feel, and to support the door 200 after the door 200 is closed.

[0051] Optionally, the garment handling equipment housing includes at least two support components 300, which are symmetrically arranged relative to the hinge of the door 200 with the front panel 100. This allows the door 200 to obtain a more uniform support effect when closed, effectively dispersing the concentrated force of the door 200's own weight on the junction and further reducing the stress on the hinge.

[0052] In other embodiments, the number of support components 300 is not specifically limited and can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, such as setting three, four or more support components 300.

[0053] Optionally, the front panel 100 can be integrally molded onto the body. Integrating the front panel 100 into the body reduces assembly steps, ensures structural integrity and strength, and improves sealing performance. Alternatively, the front panel 100 can be fixed to the body using screws or other fasteners. This facilitates disassembly and maintenance of the front panel 100, allowing for easy replacement or repair during subsequent use, and enhancing the assembly flexibility and maintainability of the garment processing equipment's casing.

[0054] Optionally, the garment handling equipment housing also includes a hinge base 500. The front plate 100 has an assembly groove, and the hinge base 500 is locked to the front plate 100 by screws or other fasteners. The hinge base 500 has at least one hinge portion 510, and the door 200 is connected to the hinge portion 510 via a pivot. In this embodiment, the hinge base 500 has two hinge portions 510, and the door 200 is hinged to the two hinge portions 510 respectively via two pivots, improving the stability of opening and closing the door 200.

[0055] Optionally, the limiting member 310 is truncated cone-shaped. Along the direction in which the limiting member 310 is inserted into the limiting groove 321, the diameter of the limiting member 310 gradually decreases, and the shape of the limiting groove 321 matches the shape of the limiting member 310. This design allows for gradual guidance and positioning during the insertion of the limiting member 310, making insertion smoother and providing stable support at the final mating position, further improving the limiting effect and structural reliability.

[0056] In other embodiments, the limiting member 310 is cylindrical, and the shape of the limiting groove 321 matches the shape of the limiting member 310. The cylindrical limiting member 310 has a simple processing technology and low manufacturing cost, and can also achieve a stable insertion and support effect.

[0057] Optionally, the end of the limiting member 310 that inserts into the limiting groove 321 is provided with a first chamfer structure, and / or the opening of the limiting groove 321 is provided with a second chamfer structure. This can reduce jamming and improve guidance during the insertion or removal of the limiting member 310 from the limiting groove 321, making the insertion and removal process smoother. Simultaneously, it can reduce friction and wear between the limiting member 310 and the limiting groove 321, extend the service life of the garment processing equipment casing, and improve the user's operating feel during door opening and closing. In this embodiment, to improve the smoothness of the fit between the limiting member 310 and the limiting groove 321, both the first and second chamfers are rounded corners.

[0058] Optionally, the front panel 100 is provided with a mounting portion 120 recessed along the axial direction of the inlet 110. The support assembly 300 further includes a mating part 320, which has a limiting groove 321. The mating part 320 is integrally formed or fixedly assembled to one of the door body 200 and the mounting portion 120, and the limiting part 310 is integrally formed or fixedly assembled to the other of the door body 200 and the mounting portion 120. The limiting part 310 and the mating part 320 are integrally formed on the door body 200 and the mounting portion 120 of the front panel 100, respectively, which can reduce the number of parts, avoid assembly errors, and improve the overall strength and stability of the structure; at the same time, it reduces production and assembly costs and enhances the reliability and service life of the garment processing equipment shell. The limiting component 310 and the mating component 320 are respectively fixedly assembled on the mounting part 120 of the door body 200 and the front panel 100, which can provide convenience for disassembly and replacement while ensuring a firm connection. If the components are worn or damaged, the mating component 320 or the limiting component 310 can be replaced separately, reducing maintenance costs and improving the maintainability and adaptability of the garment processing equipment shell.

[0059] Optionally, the limiting component 310 can be locked onto the door body 200 by screws or by clips, which can improve the convenience of assembling and disassembling the limiting component 310.

[0060] Optionally, the mating part 320 can also be fastened to the mounting portion 120 of the front panel 100 by a snap-fit. Specifically, a mounting hole can be pre-drilled in the mounting portion 120, and a limiting edge 324 is provided at one end of the mating part 320 near the opening of the limiting groove 321. A locking protrusion 325 is provided on the outer periphery of the mating part 320. During assembly, the mating part 320 is pressed into the mounting hole, and the limiting edge 324 and the locking protrusion 325 abut against the two sides of the mounting portion 120, thereby installing the mating part 320 on the mounting portion 120, which can improve the convenience of assembling and disassembling the mating part 320. In other embodiments, the mating part 320 can be fastened to the mounting portion 120 by screws, which can improve the stability of the connection between the mating part 320 and the front panel 100.

[0061] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the support assembly 300 also includes an elastic element 420. The sealing element 410 is slidably disposed within the limiting groove 321. One end of the elastic element 420 abuts against the sealing element 410, and the other end abuts against the bottom wall of the limiting groove 321. The elastic element 420 can provide continuous elastic force to the sealing element 410, causing the sealing element 410 to automatically return to its original position to seal the groove opening after the limiting element 310 disengages from the limiting groove 321. In this embodiment, the elastic element 420 is a spring, which is low in cost and can provide reliable elastic force to the sealing element 410.

[0062] In this embodiment, the sealing member 410 has a positioning groove 413 on the side facing the bottom wall of the limiting groove 321. The first end of the elastic member 420 is limited in the positioning groove 413, and the bottom wall of the limiting groove 321 has a positioning post 323. The second end of the elastic member 420 is sleeved on the positioning post 323. Through this design, the positions of both ends of the elastic member 420 can be reliably limited, preventing the elastic member 420 from shifting or falling off during force application or long-term use. This ensures that the elastic member 420 always provides stable elastic force to the sealing member 410, thereby improving the reliability of the resetting of the sealing member 410 and the sealing effect of the limiting groove 321, and extending the service life of the overall structure.

[0063] In other embodiments, a positioning groove 413 may be provided on the side of the sealing member 410 facing the limiting groove 321, or a positioning post 323 may be provided on the bottom wall of the limiting groove 321, and the length of the positioning post 323 is less than the length of the elastic member 420, so as to ensure the stability of the elastic member 420 and provide reserved space for the sealing member 410 to retract into the limiting groove 321.

[0064] Optionally, one of the sidewall of the limiting groove 321 and the sealing member 410 is provided with a guide hole 322, which extends axially along the limiting groove 321. The other of the sidewall of the limiting groove 321 and the sealing member 410 is provided with a protrusion 411, which slides with the guide hole 322 to ensure the stability of the movement of the sealing member 410. The cooperation between the protrusion 411 and the guide hole 322 can restrict the sealing member 410 from falling out of the limiting groove 321, thus ensuring the reliability of the sealing member 410.

[0065] In one embodiment, the sidewall of the limiting groove 321 is provided with at least one guide hole 322 along the axial direction of the limiting groove 321, and the sealing member 410 is provided with a protrusion 411 corresponding to the guide hole 322, the protrusion 411 slidingly engaging with the guide hole 322. This design guides and limits the movement of the sealing member 410, preventing it from shifting or tilting during movement, thus ensuring a more stable and smooth fit between the sealing member 410 and the limiting groove 321, and improving the reliability and service life of the sealing member 410's reset.

[0066] In this embodiment, multiple guide holes 322 are provided along the circumference of the limiting groove 321, and multiple protrusions 411 are provided along the circumference of the sealing member 410. Each protrusion 411 is slidably connected to its corresponding guide hole 322. Through this design, when the sealing member 410 moves within the limiting groove 321, it can be constrained by the combined action of multiple guide holes 322 and protrusions 411, resulting in more uniform force distribution, reduced frictional resistance, improved smoothness and stability of sliding, and also helping to extend the service life of the sealing member 410 and the limiting groove 321.

[0067] Optionally, such as Figure 5As shown, the sealing member 410 has a connecting arm 412 on the side facing the bottom wall of the limiting groove 321. The protrusion 411 is provided on the connecting arm 412, and the outer side of the protrusion 411 is provided with a guide slope 4111. The connecting arm 412 can provide elastic deformation along the radial direction of the limiting groove 321. With the help of the guide slope 4111, the protrusion 411 can be smoothly inserted into the guide hole 322 during the assembly process, which reduces the assembly difficulty and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0068] This embodiment also provides a garment processing device, which includes a garment processing unit and a garment processing device housing. The garment processing unit is disposed inside the garment processing device housing. This garment processing device can prevent the door 200 of the garment processing device from sagging, and can also keep the limiting groove 321 clean and improve the overall aesthetics through the sealing component 410, thereby ensuring the sealing performance and smooth opening and closing of the garment processing device during long-term use. The garment processing device can be a dryer, washing machine, or washer-dryer combo, etc.

[0069] Optionally, when the clothing processing device is a washing machine, the clothing processing unit can be the drum of the washing machine.
