Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application claims the priority of four applications, namely Chinese Patent Application Nos. 202210910878.3, 202210908302.3, 202210910773.8, and 202210912081.7, with the invention title of "Clothing Processing Equipment", filed on July 29, 2022, and all of their contents are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[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 and deodorized, shoes, etc. It mainly includes a drawer and a housing assembly. The washing and other processing 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 may be damaged, resulting in poor movement of the drawer and ultimately complete failure.

[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, there is a need for a new clothing processing device in this field.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0078] 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 it 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.

[0079] In the description of the present invention, terms indicating directions and positional relationships such as "upper", "lower", "vertical", and "horizontal" are based on the directions and positional relationships shown in the drawings. This is only for convenience of explanation and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be configured and operate in a specific direction. Therefore, it should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Also, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for the purpose of explanation and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0080] In addition, in the description of the present invention, unless explicitly specified or limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting", and "attaching" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a removable connection, an integral connection, a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection via an intermediate medium. A person skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention on a case-by-case basis.

[0081] (Example 1) First, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 15, specific preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0082] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 15, the present invention provides a laundry treatment apparatus 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 a 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, 5, 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.

[0083] 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 (only the box is shown in FIG. 2, but the pulsator washing machine body is not shown), and then slidably provided on the slide rail.

[0084] 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 is to indirectly provide it on the operating component 3 by providing it on the support component 31, as shown in FIG. 7.

[0085] 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. In this way, the rear roller 1 does not support or partially supports the gravity of the operating component 3, and the support component 31 can support the remaining gravity. 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 completely bears the gravity of the operating component 3. When an elastic structure is provided on the rear roller 1, as shown in FIG. 16, 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.

[0086] In the preferred solution of Example 1, the support position of the support component 31 in the above solution can be dropped onto the protruding guide blocks 21 on both sides of the guide rail 2, as shown in FIGS. 2, 6-8, and 11, so as to abut against the protruding guide blocks 21 and transmit force 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 the clothing treatment device does not have the housing 7, it may be directly transmitted to the ground or the mounting table (this solution is not shown in the figure).

[0087] 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 supporting 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 supporting 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 supporting 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 supporting component 31 is the supporting block shown in FIG. 7, and its bottom surface can be set to a surface with a larger friction coefficient, or the whole can be formed of a material with a larger friction coefficient such as rubber, so as to further avoid the supporting component 31 from slipping, vibrating, or shifting.

[0088] 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 allocated to the front roller 4.

[0089] 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 prevents the rear roller 1 from slipping out of the groove due to excessive force and continuing to move backward and colliding with the box body 7.

[0090] 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 vertical 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 contacting the sensor 6, a situation where the sensor 6 cannot detect is avoided, and the detection accuracy of the sensor 6 is improved. When the clothing processing device detects that the operating component 3 is attached at a predetermined position, it can execute a clothing processing procedure and avoid unexpected situations.

[0091] 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 can 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, and the pulling operation is also interlocked with the opening and closing of the lock. The user can open and pull out the door and close and push in the door with only one operation.

[0092] 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 enters 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.

[0093] (Embodiment 2) The solution means 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. Due to this design of the height difference, 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.

[0094] (Example 3) Referring to FIG. 16, generally, the difference between the solution means of Example 3 and the solution means of Example 1 is that in order to realize more stable support for the operating component 3, the front roller 4 is also regarded as within the range of the first moving component. Accordingly, by providing at least two grooves before and after the second moving component (slide rail 2), the front roller 4 and the rear roller 1 are respectively arranged in one groove. Similarly, by using the support component 31, the front and rear support forces can be provided by the support component 31 during operation.

[0095] (Example 4) As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the present invention further provides another different slide rail solution means, that is, a solution means for the protruding slide rail 24. The difference from the slide rail 2 in Embodiment 1 is as follows. Since the protruding guide blocks 21 are not provided on both sides of the protruding slide rail 24 in Embodiment 4, the support component 31 of this solution means does not contact the protruding guide blocks 21 in the left-right direction. As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, similar to the design of the train track, it directly contacts the slide rail 24 protruding in the front-rear direction. On both sides of the rear roller 4, deviation prevention blocks 25 for sandwiching the protruding slide rail 24 are further provided. Finally, Embodiment 4 provides another different form of solution means for the protruding slide rail 24. Since it does not have other complex concave-convex shapes, it is less likely to be damaged as a whole, the stability is improved, and the cost is reduced. Of course, the support component 3 can not only directly contact the protruding slide rail 24, but also contact the bottom surface of the housing 7 or directly contact the ground in the same way.

[0096] (Embodiment 5) Referring to FIGS. 19, 20, and 21, in Example 5, based on Example 1, a deviation prevention guide component 8 is further added to ensure that the first moving component does not deviate while moving on the second moving component. Specifically, three different embodiments are included. As shown in FIG. 19, the deviation prevention guide component 8 of the first embodiment is a guide roller, and the guide roller is provided on the operating component 3 (for showing the structure, the operating component 3 is omitted, and the same applies hereinafter), and abuts against the slideway. With the two-wheel design of the rear roller 4 and the guide roller, guiding during pulling out is realized. Referring to FIG. 20, the deviation prevention guide component 8 of the second embodiment is a guide slider, and the guide slider is provided on the operating component and is slidably provided on the slideway. Referring to FIG. 21, the deviation prevention guide component 8 of the third embodiment is a long strip-shaped plate, and the long strip-shaped plate is slidably provided in the slide rail 2, and one end thereof is connected to the mounting base of the front roller 4. Of course, it may also be connected to the mounting base of the rear roller 1. When connected to the mounting base of the front roller 4, the moving direction of the front roller 4 can be synchronously positioned, and compared with other solution means, the guiding is more accurate. Preferably, the connection method may be a conventional fixed connection method, or as shown in FIG. 18, it may be a component in which the mounting base of the front roller 4 and the long strip-shaped plate are integrally formed.

[0097] 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 supporting method by rolling friction between the rear roller 1 and the slideway 22 to the supporting 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 only adding the structures of the support component 31 and the groove 23, 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, reduces the vibration noise during use, and thus improves the user satisfaction. Furthermore, the present invention further proposes a design with a height difference provided on the front and rear sides of the slide rail 2, further improving the stability of the product and reducing 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. With the design of double support at the front and rear, the overall support is more stable and the force-bearing situation of the front roller 4 is also optimized.

[0098] 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, so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

[0099] For example, in an alternative embodiment, since the first moving component only provides a moving method, 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. These extensions based on the main inventive concept of the present invention do not deviate from the principle of the present invention, so they are included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0100] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the slide rail 2 is obviously not limited to the slide rail 2 provided with guide blocks 21 protruding on both sides and a slideway 22 provided in the middle as shown in FIG. 11. It may also be a guide rail 2 provided with guide blocks 21 protruding outward and a slideway 22 provided inside as shown in FIG. 12. The groove 23 is provided in the inner slideway 22, and the support component 31 is configured to be able to abut against the protruding guide block 21 when the first moving component moves to the groove 23. The above solution can also be applied to the structure of the support component 31 and the groove 23 proposed in the present invention. Since these do not deviate from the principle of the present invention, they are included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0101] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the slide rail 2 is not necessarily limited to the slide rail 2 shown in FIG. 11, which is provided with guide blocks 21 protruding on both sides and a slideway 22 in the middle. It may also be a guide rail 2 provided with guide blocks 21 protruding inward and a slideway 22 provided on the outside as shown in FIG. 13. A groove 23 is provided in the outer slideway 22, and the support component 31 is configured to be able to abut against the protruding guide block 21 when the first moving component moves to the groove 23. The above solution can also be applied to the structure of the support component 31 and the groove 23 proposed in the present invention. Since these do not deviate from the principle of the present invention, they are included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0102] Finally, although the present invention has been described by taking a drawer-type washing machine as an example, it is obvious that the solution of the present invention can also be applied to other clothing treatment devices. For example, it can also be applied to shoe washing machines, clothing dryers, etc.

[0103] So far, the technical solution of the present invention has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings. However, it can be easily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of the present invention is not clearly limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and any of the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions are included within the protection scope of the present invention.
