Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of clothing treatment technology, and in particular to a clothing treatment device.

[0002] This application claims priority to two Chinese patent applications, CN202211124790.5 and CN202211124802.4, filed on September 15, 2022, for an invention entitled "Clothing Treatment Device," the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. [Background technology]

[0003] In the prior art, there is a clothing processing machine that has a drawer-type opening method. Such a clothing processing machine uses a drawer-type device to load and unload laundry and other clothing, shoes, etc. to be dried and deodorized. It mainly includes a drawer and a housing assembly. Since the laundry washing and other processing methods are mainly completed in the drawer and the housing mainly plays the role of supporting the load and fixing, the method of connecting the drawer and the housing is particularly important.

[0004] In conventional technology, slide rail connections are the mainstream connection method. However, in drawer-type washing machines such as pulsators, the washing tub is located inside the drawer, which causes horizontal vibrations during the washing and spin-drying processes. The slide rails are designed mainly to withstand vertical forces, which makes them less reliable in the horizontal direction. After long-term use, the slide rails can be damaged, causing the drawer to move poorly and eventually leading to complete failure.

[0052] 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 interpret the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can adjust them to suit specific application scenarios as needed. For example, although the present specification describes the first moving component as a rear roller, it is clear that the present invention can adopt other forms of moving components, such as a sliding component that can be realized by a slider, as long as the moving device can slide the operating component in and out and can support part or all of the gravity of the operating component with a supporting component after it has moved to the groove.

[0053] 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, and are merely for convenience of description and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements necessarily have a specific orientation, are configured, or operate in a specific direction, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only, and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0054] Furthermore, unless expressly specified or limited in the description of this application, the terms "attached," "coupled," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, and may refer to, for example, a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection, a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection via 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.

[0055] Solution A Example 1 First, specific preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0056] As shown in Figures 1 to 15, the present invention provides a clothes processing device including a first moving component, a second moving component and a retractable actuating component 3, wherein the second moving component is provided with a groove 23. In a first specific embodiment 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 of the slide rail 2 may be a solution of the slide rail 2, as shown in Figures 2, 5 and 11, in which protruding guide blocks 21 are provided on both sides and a slideway 22 is provided in the middle, and accordingly, a groove 23 is provided on the rear side of the slideway 22 to match with the first moving component.

[0057] The operating component 3 may be a pull-out type pulsator washing machine, which may be slidably arranged directly on the slide rail 2, or as shown in Figure 2, the pulsator washing machine may be installed in a box (in Figure 2, only the box is shown, but the pulsator washing machine body is not shown), and then slidably arranged on the slide rail.

[0058] 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 also provided on the operating component 3. A preferred solution is to achieve an indirect mounting on the actuating component 3 by mounting it on the support component 31, as shown in FIG.

[0059] With the above structure, in the present invention, when the working component 3 of the garment processing machine is being pulled out, the rear roller 1 moves the working component 3 on the slide rail 2, and after the working component 3 reaches the working position, the rear roller 1 moves to the groove 23, and as shown in Figure 9 or Figure 10, the rear roller 1 does not support or only partially supports the gravity of the working component 3, and the supporting component 31 supports the remaining gravity of the working component 3. Here, there are two situations: When the rear roller 1 is suspended directly and completely down into the groove 23 , the weight of the actuating component 3 is then fully supported by the support component 31 . If the rear roller 1 is provided with an elastic structure, as shown in FIG. 16, an elastic member such as a spring is provided above the rear roller 1, so that the rear roller 1 can play a certain supporting role even after it comes into close contact with the bottom surface of the groove 23. At this time, the support component 31 serves to support the remaining part of the gravity of the actuating component 3 .

[0060] In the preferred solution of Example 1, the support position of the support component 31 in the above solution may be such that it falls onto the protruding guide blocks 21 on both sides of the guide rail 2, as shown in Figures 2, 6 to 8, and 11, thereby abutting against the protruding guide blocks 21 and transmitting force to the slide rail 2. Of course, it may be offset from the slide rail 2 and transmitted directly to the bottom surface of the housing 7 (this solution is not shown in the figure), or if the clothing processing device does not have a housing 7, it may be transmitted directly to the ground or mounting table (this solution is not shown in the figure).

[0061] In the present invention, with the above structural design, after the operating component 3 is pulled out, clothes are inserted, and then pushed back to the operating position, the rear roller 1 falls into the groove 23, allowing the support component 31 to bear most of the force, and the rear roller 1 no longer bears the eccentric force of the washing machine during washing vibration. In other words, the rear roller 1 no longer bears the horizontal force, but instead it is borne by the support component 31, which greatly extends the service life of the rear roller 1. Furthermore, during washing in the washing machine, the support component 31 can provide a more stable and firm support, reduce the vibration frequency of the washing machine, and reduce the vibration noise of the entire laundry processing device. Preferably, the support component 31 is a support block as shown in FIG. 7, and its bottom surface is set to a surface with a higher coefficient of friction, or the entire support component 31 is made of a material with a higher coefficient of friction, such as rubber, to further prevent the support component 31 from slipping or vibrating and shifting.

[0062] Preferably, in Example 1, as shown in FIG. 6, the laundry processing appliance of the present invention further includes a front roller 4, which is disposed in front of the operating component 3 and configured to abut against the ground to realize support of the front end during unwinding, so that the entire structure can allocate part of the force to the front roller 4 without completely relying on the slide rail.

[0063] In Example 1, as shown in Figures 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 be other damping structures such as a damping rod or an elastic block, and prevents the rear roller 1 from colliding with the housing 7 due to excessive force after being pushed in and continuing to move backward.

[0064] In the first embodiment, 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 not only provides some of the supporting force mentioned above, but also prevents the rear roller 1 from hanging down and at least partially abuts the sensor 6, avoiding a situation where the sensor 6 cannot detect, and improving the detection accuracy of the sensor 6. When the garment processing device detects that the operating component 3 has been installed in the predetermined position, it starts the garment processing procedure to avoid unexpected situations.

[0065] In Example 1, as shown in FIG. 15, the operating component 3 is further provided with a plug-in buckle 32, and the garment processing device further includes a housing 7, which is provided with an engagement groove 71 that matches the plug-in buckle 32, and the buckle 32 is configured to move toward the engagement groove 71 while the operating component 3 is in the operating position, and to be inserted into the engagement groove 71 after the operating component 3 is in the operating position. This plug-and-play solution is very suitable for the solution of the present invention, which realizes the function of locking when pushed into the operating position and unlocking first when pulling the handle, and the pushing and pulling action is linked to opening and closing the lock, allowing the user to open and pull the door, and close and push the door with just one action.

[0066] In Example 1, as shown in FIG. 9, the slide rail 2 may be parallel to a 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 tilt. However, this is within the allowable operating state of the operating component 3 of the present invention and it can still operate normally.

[0067] Example 2 The solution of the second embodiment is generally the same as that of the first embodiment, but differs in the following respects. Corresponding to Example 1, in order to realize stable support of the operating component 3 and realize horizontal arrangement of the operating component 3, in a more preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the operating side of the clothes processing 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 the height of the front side. The height difference design allows the operating component 3 to perform a proper climbing movement during the pushing process, and then after the rear roller 1 falls into the groove 23, the overall flatness of the operating component 3 can be realized, making the operating state of the operating component 3 more stable, the service life longer, and the washing water less likely to splash during operation.

[0068] Example 3 The solution of the third embodiment can be understood in conjunction with the first embodiment, and can also be expanded in conjunction with FIGS. The difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is that the groove 23 of the third embodiment is replaced with an inclined surface 24, and the inclined surface 24 is an inclined surface whose angle is adjustable. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, in a possible embodiment, the second moving component (slide rail 2) is provided with a rotatable support plate 241, and an angle is formed between the support plate 241 and a horizontal plane so that the support plate 241 forms an inclined surface whose angle is adjustable. Preferably, the slide rail 2 further includes an angle adjustment drive assembly 25 configured to drive the support plate 241 to rotate and further adjust the angle of the inclined surface 24, and the angle adjustment drive assembly 25 further includes a wire drive part 251, a connecting shaft 252, and a support roller 253. The wire driving component 251 is fixedly disposed, the connecting shaft 252 is connected to the wire driving component 251 and can move in parallel under the driving of the wire driving component 251, and the support rollers 253 are provided on both ends of the connecting shaft 252, and the support rollers 253 on both ends are respectively provided under the two support plates 241, so that the wire driving component 251 drives the connecting shaft 252 to move in parallel, thereby moving the support rollers 253 in parallel and achieving angle adjustment of the support plate 241. As shown in FIG. 19 , the angle adjustment drive assembly 25 further includes a position limiting block 254, a compression rod 255, a compression block 256, and an elastic member 257. The position limiting block 254 is fixedly disposed, one end of the compression rod 255 passes through the position limiting block 254 and is connected to the connecting shaft 252, and the other end is connected to the compression block 256. An elastic member 257 is provided between the position limiting block 254 and the compression block 256 to enable the connecting shaft 252 and the support roller 253 to return to the preset position when the wire driving part 251 is not driven. Here, the wire drive component 251 may be any of a motor, a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., and if it is a motor, it may be a linear motor or a combination of a conventional motor and a transmission component, such as a combination of a motor and a ball screw.

[0069] With the above arrangement, when the operating component 3 needs to enter the operating position, the support plate 241 is set to its normal position, and at this time, the support component 31 smoothly abuts against the protruding guide block 21, allowing normal operation. When the operation is completed, the wire driving part 251 is controlled to start, causing the support roller 253 to move and the angle of the inclined surface to gradually decrease. At this time, the rear roller 1 is lifted, and the support component 31 smoothly moves away from the protruding guide block 21. Furthermore, since the angle is smaller, the user's pulling force is also reduced. As a result, even if the support plate 241 is tilted upward, the operating component 3 can automatically slide out under the action of gravity. Those skilled in the art can adjust the rotation angle that the support plate 241 can ultimately achieve as needed, all of which are within the scope of protection of the present invention. The structure described in the present invention allows the operating component 3 to operate stably, while saving the user's physical strength when pulling it out, and achieving multiple goals at once.

[0070] Of course, the angle adjustment drive assembly 25 may be a manual one such as a manual knob or a manual pull rod, as long as it can adjust the angle of the inclined surface 24 .

[0071] Of course, the technical solution for setting up the angle-adjustable inclined surface 24 is not limited to the above-mentioned rotatable support plate 241 combined with the support rollers 253, but may also be other known solutions for adjusting the angle of the inclined surface, such as directly installing a motor on the rotation axis of the support plate 241.

[0072] Solution B Example 4 The solution of Example 4 can be understood in conjunction with Example 1, and can be expanded in conjunction with Figures 20 to 22. The difference between Example 4 and Example 1 is that the groove 23 of Example 4 is replaced with an inclined surface 24, and the inclined surface 24 is an inclined surface with an adjustable angle. Specifically, as shown in Figures 20 to 22, in a possible embodiment, a rotatable support plate 241 is provided on the second moving component (slide rail 2), and an angle is formed between the support plate 241 and a horizontal plane, thereby forming an inclined surface 24 whose angle is adjustable by the support plate 241, and the second moving component further includes an angle adjustment drive assembly 25, which is configured to drive the support plate 241 to rotate and further adjust the angle of the inclined surface 24. Preferably, in a possible embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22, the angle adjustment drive assembly 25 includes a motor 251, a tension belt 254, a connecting shaft 252, and a support roller 253, one end of the tension belt 254 is wound around and fixed to the output end of the motor 251, and the other end is wound around and fixed to the connecting shaft 252, and a transmission gear 255 is further provided on the connecting shaft 252, correspondingly, the garment processing machine is further provided with a transmission rack 256 that is matched and fixed to the transmission gear 255, and support rollers 253 are provided on both ends of the connecting shaft 252, and the support rollers 253 on both ends are respectively provided below the two support plates 241, so that the motor 251 winds up the tension belt 254 and further drives the connecting shaft 252 to rotate, and the cooperation of the transmission gear 255 and the transmission rack 256 realizes the parallel movement of the connecting shaft 252, which causes the parallel movement of the support roller 253, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the support plate 241.

[0073] Preferably, in order to better realize rebound reset of the support roller 253 , the angle adjustment drive assembly 25 further includes a slide block 257 , a position limit block 258 , a compression rod 259 and an elastic member 260 . As shown in Fig. 22, there are two sets in total, one of which will be taken as an example. The slide block 257 is slidably arranged along the moving direction of the connecting shaft 252, and the connecting shaft 252 is rotatably inserted into the slide block 257. The position limiting blocks 258 are fixedly arranged (there are four in total in Fig. 22, two are marked, and the other two are both on the opposite side of the connecting shaft 252). One end of the compression rod 259 passes through the position limiting block 258 and is connected to the slide block 257. An annular boss 2591 is provided on the other end. An elastic member 260 is provided between the annular boss 2591 and the position limiting block 258. In addition, to better achieve guide stability, the angle adjustment drive assembly 25 further includes a guide rod 261, one end of which passes through the position limiting block 258 and is connected to the slide block. The position limiting block 258 here may be the same as the position limiting block through which the compression rod passes, or they may be two different position limiting blocks. The solution shown in Figure 22 is two different position limiting blocks.

[0074] With the above arrangement, when the operating component 3 needs to enter the operating position, the support plate 241 is in its normal position, and at this time, the support component 31 smoothly abuts against the protruding guide block 21, allowing normal operation. When the operation is completed, the wire driving component 251 is controlled to start, thereby winding up the tension belt 254, and finally rotating the connecting shaft 252, and the transmission gears 255 and 256 act to cause the connecting shaft 252 to move in parallel, thereby causing the support roller 253 to move in parallel, gradually reducing the angle of the inclined surface. At this time, the rear roller 1 is lifted, and the support component 31 smoothly moves away from the protruding guide block 21. Furthermore, because the angle is reduced, the user's pulling force is also reduced. As a result, even if the support plate 241 is tilted upward, the operating component 3 can automatically slide out under the action of gravity. Those skilled in the art can adjust the final achievable rotation angle of the support plate 241 as needed, all of which are within the protection scope of the present invention. The structure described in the present invention allows the operating component 3 to operate stably, while saving the user's physical strength when pulling it out, and achieving multiple goals at once.

[0075] When the inclined surface 24 is adjusted to a predetermined position, the slide block 257 moves together with the connecting shaft 252, so that a compressive force is applied to the elastic member 260 fitted to the compression rod 259. When resetting is required, the motor no longer supplies torque, and at this time, the elastic member 260 rebounds and resets, resetting the slide block 257, and further resetting the connecting shaft 252 and the support roller 253. During the process of resetting or adjusting the angle of the inclined surface, the guide rod 261 can always play a guiding role.

[0076] As described above, the present invention uses a design combining the support component 31 and groove 23, so that when the rear roller 1 moves to the operating position, it enters the groove 23, with the support component 31 playing the main supporting role. This changes the support method based on rolling friction between the rear roller 1 and slideway 22 to a support method in which the support component 31 and the protruding guide block 21 are stacked one on top of the other. When the user wants to remove the clothes after use, he or she can simply apply a little force to pull out the operating component 3, causing the rear roller 1 to climb out of the groove 23 and return to rolling friction, allowing the user to still easily pull out the clothes. This seamless transition not only protects the rear roller 1 and reduces the noise generated by the operating component 3 during operation, but also takes into account the user's needs, making it easier for the user to push and pull. By simply modifying the structure by adding the support component 31 and the groove 23, and essentially changing the movement method based on the original solution, the clothing processing device of the present invention significantly improves the stability of the product, i.e., the service life of the rear roller 1, without increasing costs, and reduces vibration noise during use, thereby improving user satisfaction. Furthermore, the present invention further proposes a design with a difference in height between the front and rear sides of the slide rail 2, which further improves the stability of the product and further reduces the possibility of water leakage due to tilting of the operating component 3. The design of the sensor 6 allows the actuating component 3 to perform operations such as cleaning and drying only after reaching the actuating position, ensuring product safety.

[0077] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the principles of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Without departing from the principles 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.

[0078] For example, it will be apparent that alternative embodiments are not limited to the configuration of rear roller 1, as the first moving component only provides one type of movement. For example, it may be a slide device that can slide into and out of the groove 23 . Preferably, the sliding device may be a slider with chamfered side edges, for example, a semi-cylindrical slider whose cylindrical surface is in close contact with the slideway 22 and whose flat surface is fixed to the bottom surface of the actuating component 3 to realize the 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, and therefore fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0079] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the slide rail 2 is not limited to the slide rail 2 shown in FIG. 11 having protruding guide blocks 21 on both sides and a slide way 22 in the middle, but may be a guide rail 2 shown in FIG. 12 having protruding guide blocks 21 on the outside and a slide way 22 on the inside, in which a groove 23 is provided in the inside slide way 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, and does not deviate from the principle of the present invention, so it falls within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0080] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the slide rail 2 is not limited to the slide rail 2 shown in FIG. 11 having protruding guide blocks 21 on both sides and a slide way 22 in the middle, but may be a guide rail 2 shown in FIG. 13 having protruding guide blocks 21 on the inside and a slide way 22 on the outside, in which a groove 23 is provided in the outer slide way 22, and the support component 31 is configured 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, without departing from the principle of the present invention, and therefore falls within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0081] Finally, although the present invention has been described using a drawer-type washing machine as an example, it is clear that the solution of the present invention can be applied to other clothing processing devices, such as shoe washing machines and clothes dryers.

[0082] Although the technical solutions of the present invention have been described above in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, it is easy to understand for those skilled in the art that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and all of the technical solutions after these modifications or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
