Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application claims the priority of three applications, namely Chinese Patent Application Nos. 202210908304.2, 202210910795.4, and 202210908305.7, with the invention title of "Clothing Processing Equipment", filed on July 29, 2022, and the entire content thereof is incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present invention relates to the technical field of clothing processing, and specifically provides a clothing processing device.

Background Art

[0003] In the prior art, there is a clothing processing device with a drawer-type opening method. Such a clothing processing device uses a drawer-type device to take in and out laundry, other clothing items to be dried or deodorized, shoes, etc. It mainly includes the assembly of the drawer and the housing. The washing and other processing methods of the laundry are mainly completed inside the drawer, and the housing mainly plays the role of load support and fixation. Therefore, the connection method between the drawer and the housing is particularly important.

[0004] In the conventional connection method, slide rail connection is the mainstream. However, in a drawer-type washing device such as a pulsator, since the washing tub is arranged inside the drawer, horizontal vibration occurs during the washing and dehydration processes. The slide rail is mainly designed to withstand vertical forces, and its horizontal reliability is relatively low. After long-term use, the slide rail is damaged, resulting in poor movement of the drawer and ultimately complete breakdown.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the problem of the prior art that the connection structure between the drawer and the housing cannot effectively withstand both horizontal and vertical forces, a new clothing processing device is needed in this field.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0055] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principle of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can adjust it as needed to apply to specific application scenarios. For example, in this specification, it is described that the first moving component is a rear roller. However, as long as the moving device can slide the operating component in and out, and after moving to the groove, the supporting component can support part or all of the gravity of the operating component, it is obvious that the present invention can adopt other forms of moving components such as a sliding component that can be realized by a slider.

[0056] In addition, in the description of the present invention, terms indicating directions and positional relationships such as "upper", "lower", "vertical", "horizontal", etc. are based on the directions and positional relationships shown in the drawings. This is merely for convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be configured and operate in a specific direction, so it should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Also, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for the purpose of description and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0057] Furthermore, in the description of the present invention, unless explicitly specified or limited, the terms "mounted", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection or an integral connection, a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention on a case-by-case basis.

[0058] (Example 1) First, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 15, specific preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0059] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 15, the present invention provides a clothing treatment device including a first moving component, a second moving component, and a pull-out operating component 3, and a groove 23 is provided in the second moving component. In a specific Example 1 of the present invention, the first moving component may be a rear roller 1, and the second moving component may be a slide rail 2. In a possible embodiment, the solution means of the slide rail 2 may be the solution means of the slide rail 2 provided with guide blocks 21 protruding on both sides and a slideway 22 provided in the middle as shown in FIGS. 2 and 11. Correspondingly, a groove 23 is provided on the rear side of the slideway 22 so as to coincide with the first moving component.

[0060] The operating component 3 may be a pull-out pulsator washing machine, and the pulsator washing machine may be directly slidably arranged on the slide rail 2, or, as shown in FIG. 2, the pulsator washing machine may be installed in a box (in FIG. 2, only the box is shown, and the pulsator washing machine body is not shown), and then may be slidably provided on the slide rail.

[0061] Continuing to refer to FIGS. 6, 7, and 8, a support component 31 is provided below the operating component 3, and the rear roller 1 of the first moving component is similarly provided on the operating component 3. A preferred solution means is to provide it on the support component 31 as shown in FIG. 7 to indirectly provide it on the operating component 3.

[0062] With the above structure, in the process of pulling out the operating component 3 of the present invention, the rear roller 1 moves the operating component 3 so as to move on the slide rail 2. After the operating component 3 reaches the operating position, the rear roller 1 moves to the groove 23 as shown in FIG. 9 or FIG. 10. Thus, the rear roller 1 does not support or partially supports the gravity of the operating component 3, and the remaining gravity can be supported by the support component 31. Here, there are two cases. When the rear roller 1 is directly and completely dropped and suspended in the groove 23, at this time, the support component 31 can completely withstand the gravity of the operating component 3. When an elastic structure is provided on the rear roller 1, as shown in FIG. 14, an elastic component such as a spring is provided above the rear roller 1. After the rear roller 1 is in close contact with the bottom surface of the groove 23, it can still play a certain supporting role. At this time, the support component 31 plays a role in supporting the remaining part of the gravity of the operating component 3.

[0063] In the support position of the support component 31 in the above solution, in the preferred solution of Embodiment 1, as shown in FIGS. 2, 6-8, and 11, it can be dropped onto the protruding guide blocks 21 on both sides of the guide rail 2, and by contacting the protruding guide blocks 21, the force can be transmitted to the slide rail 2. Of course, it may be provided offset from the slide rail 2 and directly transmitted to the bottom surface of the housing 7 (this solution is not shown in the figure), or when there is no housing 7 in the clothing treatment device, it may be directly transmitted to the ground or the mounting table (this solution is not shown in the figure).

[0064] In the present invention, due to the above structural design, after pulling out the operating component 3, putting clothes in, and pushing it back to the operating position, the rear roller 1 drops into the groove 23, and most of the force can be supported by the support component 31. The rear roller 1 cannot withstand the eccentric force of the washing machine during the washing vibration, that is, the rear roller 1 cannot withstand the horizontal force, but is borne by the support component 31 instead. Therefore, the service life of the rear roller 1 can be greatly extended. Moreover, during the washing of the washing machine, the support component 31 can realize a more stable and firm support, reduce the vibration frequency of the washing machine, and reduce the vibration noise of the entire clothing processing device. Preferably, the support component 31 is the support block shown in FIG. 7, and its bottom surface is set to a surface with a larger friction coefficient, or the whole is formed of a material with a larger frictional force such as rubber, so as to further avoid the support component 31 from slipping, vibrating, or shifting.

[0065] Preferably, in Embodiment 1, as shown in FIG. 6, the laundry processing device of the present invention is further provided with a front roller 4. The front roller 4 is provided on the front side of the operating component 3 and is configured to be able to contact the ground, so as to realize the support at the front end during the pulling out. In this way, the entire structure does not completely depend on the slide rail, and a part of the force can be assigned to the front roller 4.

[0066] In Embodiment 1, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 14, a damping device 5 is further provided on the rear side of the rear roller 1. The damping device 5 is preferably a spring, but may also be other damping structures such as a damping rod or an elastic block. Thereby, after being pushed in, it is prevented that the rear roller 1 slips out of the groove due to an excessive force and continues to move backward and collide with the box body 7.

[0067] In Embodiment 1, as shown in FIG. 14, a sensor 6 capable of detecting whether the rear roller 1 has stopped at a predetermined position is further provided inside the groove 23. Preferably, the up-and-down telescopic structure of the rear roller 1 can not only provide some of the support force described above, but also prevent the rear roller 1 from being suspended, and by at least partially abutting against the sensor 6, a situation where the sensor 6 cannot detect is avoided, the detection accuracy of the sensor 6 is improved, and when the clothing processing device detects that the operating component 3 has been mounted at a predetermined position, it can execute the clothing processing procedure and avoid unexpected situations.

[0068] In Embodiment 1, as shown in FIG. 15, the operating component 3 is provided with a plug-in buckle 32. The clothing processing device further includes a housing 7, and the housing 7 is provided with an engagement groove 71 that coincides with the plug-in buckle 32. The buckle 32 is configured to move toward the engagement groove 71 while the operating component 3 is in the operating position and be inserted into the engagement groove 71 after the operating component 3 enters the operating position. Such a solution by plug-in engagement connection is very suitable for the solution of the present invention. In the present invention, locking is realized when pushed into the operating position, and the lock is released first when pulling the handle. The pulling-out operation is also interlocked with the opening and closing of the lock, and the user can open and pull out the door and close and push in the door with only one operation.

[0069] In Embodiment 1, as shown in FIG. 9, the slide rail 2 may be parallel to the horizontal plane. In this case, when the operating component 3 is pushed in, the rear roller 1 may enter the groove 23, which may cause a certain degree of inclination, but this is also within the allowable range of the operating state of the operating component 3 of the present invention and can still operate normally.

[0070] (Embodiment 2) The solution of Example 2 is generally the same as that of Example 1, but the differences are as follows. Corresponding to Example 1, in order to realize stable support for the operating component 3 and realize the horizontal arrangement of the operating component 3, in a more preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the operation side of the clothing treatment device is the front side, and there is a height difference between the front and rear sides of the second moving component (slide rail 2). Preferably, the height of the rear side is higher than that of the front side. With this height difference design, the operating component 3 can perform an appropriate climbing operation while being pushed in. After that, after the rear roller 1 falls into the groove 23, the overall flatness of the operating component 3 can be realized, the operating state of the operating component 3 is more stable, the service life is prolonged, and the cleaning water is less likely to splash during operation.

[0071] (Example 3) Continuing to refer to FIGS. 16 and 17, the differences between Example 3 and Example 1 and Example 2 are as follows. In Example 3, a climbing platform 24 is provided on the front side of the groove 23 of the slide rail 2, and correspondingly, two stands 25 are further provided on the protruding guide block 21. With such a design, the slide rail 2 is generally horizontal. The horizontal slide rail 2 is a standard part, and the purchase cost is low, eliminating the need to manufacture inclined non-standard parts. In this case, when the rear roller 1 first passes through the climbing platform 24 and then falls into the groove 23, the support component 31 directly falls onto the stand 25. At this time, it is ensured that the operating component 3 is horizontally arranged as a whole during operation, and the cost can also be saved. Preferably, the slide rail 2 and the climbing platform 24 may be fixedly connected separately or integrally formed, and the protruding guide block 21 and the stand 25 may be fixedly connected separately or integrally formed.

[0072] (Example 4) In Example 1, there are still some defects in the position limitation of the front roller 4. To remedy this defect, the present invention further proposes Example 4. As shown in FIG. 18, two protruding stoppers 26 are further provided on the front side of the protruding guide block 21. After the operating component 3 reaches the operating position, the front roller 4 is locked between the two protruding stoppers 26, so that the front roller 4 no longer swings, and the entire clothing treatment device can be fixed more firmly. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 18, the protruding stopper 26 and the protruding guide block 21 are integrally formed, that is, the protruding stopper 26 is a protruding part of the protruding guide block 21.

[0073] (Example 5) As shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, in an extreme case, for example, when the user pulls up the operating component 3 not in the horizontal direction but in the vertical direction, the slide rail 2 and the rear roller 4 are likely to separate, making it impossible to slide and the product unable to continue operating. To avoid such an extreme situation, in Example 5 of the present invention, based on Example 1, an anti-derailment concave rail 211 is further provided on the inner wall of the more prominent guide block 21. Both ends of the support component 31 are inserted into the anti-derailment concave rail 211. When the rear roller 4 moves to the groove 23, the support component 31 can support the remaining part of the gravity of the operating component. At this time, as shown in FIG. 17, two cases are considered. One is that the maximum distance between the support component 31 after being inserted into the anti-derailment concave rail 211 and the lower wall of the anti-derailment concave rail 211 is smaller than the maximum distance between the support component 31 after being inserted into the anti-derailment concave rail 211 and the upper surface of the prominent guide block 21, that is, when M < N, the support component 31 at M abuts against the lower wall of the anti-derailment concave rail to provide a supporting force. When M > N, the support component at N provides the supporting force. When M = N, both jointly provide the supporting force. Due to the existence of the gap M, the rear roller 4 can normally fall into the groove 23 without being affected, and the anti-derailment concave rail 211 only plays the role of anti-derailment without affecting the actual operating trajectory of the product.

[0074] As described above, in the present invention, through the design of the combination of the support component 31 and the groove 23, when the rear roller 1 moves to the operating position, it enters the groove 23 and the support component 31 plays a main supporting role, directly changing from the support method by rolling friction between the rear roller 1 and the slideway 22 to the support method of vertically overlapping the support component 31 and the protruding guide block 21. When taking out the clothes after use, by applying a little force to pull out the operating component 3, the rear roller 1 climbs out of the groove 23 and becomes rolling friction again, so that the user can still easily pull it out. This seamless switching not only protects the rear roller 1, but also reduces the noise generated by the operating component 3 during operation, taking into account the user's needs and making it easier for the user to pull out. By simply changing the structure and adding the structure of the support component 31 and the groove, based on the original solution means and essentially changing the moving method, the clothing processing device of the present invention improves the stability of the product, that is, the service life of the rear roller 1 significantly without increasing the cost, and reduces the vibration noise during use, thereby improving the user satisfaction. Furthermore, the present invention further proposes a design with a height difference on the front and rear sides of the slide rail 2 to further improve the stability of the product and reduce the possibility of water leakage due to the inclination of the operating component 3. Also, due to the design of the sensor 6, the operating component 3 can only perform operations such as washing and drying after reaching the operating position, thus ensuring the safety of the product.

[0075] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to explain the principle of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above structure, whereby the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

[0076] For example, in an alternative embodiment, since the first moving component only provides a moving mode, it is obvious that it is not limited to the form of the rear roller 1. For example, it may be a slide device configured to be able to slide into and out of the groove 23. Preferably, the slide device may be a slider with chamfered side edges. For example, the cylindrical surface of a semi-cylindrical slider is in close contact with the slideway 22, and the flat surface is fixed to the bottom surface of the operating component 3 to realize a sliding connection between the first moving component and the slideway 22.
