Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of clothing treatment, and specifically provides a clothing treatment apparatus, a clothing treatment method, and an atomizing device.

Background Art

[0002] A clothing treatment apparatus is a device capable of washing, rinsing, dehydrating, and / or drying clothes. General clothing treatment apparatuses include washing machines, clothes dryers, washer-dryers, and clothing care devices, etc.

[0003] With the continuous improvement of living standards, users may have demands for clothing treatment apparatuses not only for washing and drying, but also for wrinkle removal, deodorization, disinfection, sterilization, bleaching, softening, or fragrance addition to clothes. For example, atomizing washing, which can wet clothes in advance, is advantageous for the penetration of clothing treatment agents into clothes.

[0004] In the prior art, usually, atomizing washing is realized by an atomizer, which is welded to the water supply system, realizes the water supply of the atomizer by using the water supply of the water supply system, and uses the action of the atomizer to turn water into small-particle atomized liquid droplets and put them into the clothing treatment drum to realize atomizing washing for clothes. However, the atomizer and the water supply system are welded, which is disadvantageous for the arrangement of components due to the presence of pipes, and it is necessary to supply clothing treatment agents by a separate supply tank, which occupies a large space. And in some clothes dryers, adding too many components to realize atomizing washing is disadvantageous for the space arrangement. The conventional structure for realizing atomizing washing affects its application range.

[0005] In view of this, this field needs a new clothing treatment apparatus and its clothing treatment method to solve the above problems.

[0142] Preferably, as shown in Figures 3 to 5, an electrical chamber 1c is further formed in the water tank 1, the electrical chamber 1c and the water storage chamber 1b are isolated from each other, and the electrical chamber 1c can accommodate a harness 6 connected to the atomizing sheet 2. Specifically, the electrical chamber 1c and the water storage chamber 1b can be separated by a partition structure 1e, the partition structure 1e ensures the closure of the water storage chamber 1b, and an outlet 1a is formed in the partition structure 1e. The electrical chamber 1c may be closed or open. In the structure shown in Figure 4, the lower part of the electrical chamber 1c is closed by a decorative case 5, and the harness 6 connected to the atomizing sheet 2 can be housed inside the electrical chamber 1c, thereby enabling power supply and control of the atomizing sheet 2. More preferably, a storage groove is formed on the outside of the partition structure 1e, and a part of the harness 6 may be housed in the storage groove to position the harness 6.

[0143] Preferably, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the atomizing device further includes a wireless charging assembly 7 for supplying power to the atomizing sheet 2, the wireless charging assembly 7 being connected to a water tank 1, and a portion of the wireless charging assembly 7 being located within an electrical chamber 1c. The wireless charging assembly 7 may employ a wireless charging method by electromagnetic induction, or a wireless charging method by magnetic resonance, or of course, any other wireless charging method. In one preferred case, the wireless charging assembly 7 includes a fixed component 71, an induction coil 72, an inductance element 73, a first circuit board 74, and a second circuit board 75, the fixed component 71 being installed on a garment processing drum, door device and / or connecting component, the fixed component 71 being connected to the water tank 1, the induction coil 72 and the inductance element 73 both being installed on the fixed component 71 and the induction coil 72 being fitted outside the inductance element 73, the first circuit board 74 being connected to the induction coil 72, and the second circuit board 75 being connected to the inductance element 73. The fixing component 71 may be a fixing support frame, a fixing plate, or another fixing structure. The induction coil 72 is connected to the atomizing sheet 2 via a harness 6, or the first circuit board 74 is connected to the atomizing sheet 2 via a harness 6, and the second circuit board 75 is connected to a power supply via a harness. The inductance element 73 generates a constant current in the induction coil 72 by electromagnetic induction based on alternating current of a constant frequency, thereby transferring electrical energy from the inductance element 73 to the induction coil 72, and thereby realizing power supply to the atomizing sheet 2. This wireless charging method eliminates the need for a harness between the inductance element 73 and the induction coil 72. Of course, as an alternative, a wired connection method may also be used to realize power supply to the atomizing sheet 2.

[0144] Preferably, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the fixing component 71 includes a fixing inner plate 711 and a fixing outer plate 712, the fixing inner plate 711 is connected to the water tank 1, the fixing outer plate 712 is fixed to the garment processing drum, door device and / or connecting component, a first hollow columnar structure 712a is formed on the fixing outer plate 712, a second hollow columnar structure 711a is formed on the fixing inner plate 711, the second hollow columnar structure 711a is fitted onto the first hollow columnar structure 712a, the induction coil 72 is fitted onto the second hollow columnar structure 711a, the inductance element 73 is installed inside the first hollow columnar structure 712a, the first circuit board 74 is installed on the fixing inner plate 711, and the second circuit board 75 is installed on the fixing outer plate 712. The first hollow columnar structure 712a is formed on the side of the fixed outer plate 712 that is close to the fixed inner plate 711, i.e., on the side facing the inside of the garment processing drum, and the second hollow columnar structure 711a is formed on the side of the fixed inner plate 711 that is away from the fixed outer plate 712, i.e., on the side facing the inside of the garment processing drum, and the diameter of the outer wall of the first hollow columnar structure 712a is preferably equal to the diameter of the inner wall of the second hollow columnar structure 711a, thereby enabling mutual positioning of the first hollow columnar structure 712a and the second hollow columnar structure 711a, and the first hollow columnar structure 712a and the second hollow columnar structure 711a are made of insulating material, such as glass, plastic or ceramic, and the generation of electromagnetic shielding can be avoided by not using metal. It should be explained that the inner ends of the first hollow columnar structure 712a and the inner ends of the second hollow columnar structure 711a (i.e., the ends adjacent to the garment processing drum) are preferably installed in a closed type to prevent external dirt from entering the electric chamber 1c.With this installation, the fixed outer plate 712 can function as a mounting base for the fixed inner plate 711, and can be fixed to the garment processing drum, door device and / or connecting parts. When it is necessary to add or replace the garment processing agent in the water tank 1, the fixed inner plate 711 can be removed from the fixed outer plate 712, and when installing, the fixed inner plate 711 can be attached to the fixed outer plate 712. The first hollow columnar structure 712a and the second hollow columnar structure 711a can play a positioning role when installing, and an inductance element 73 can be housed inside the first hollow columnar structure 712a, and an induction coil 72 can be fitted outside the second hollow columnar structure 711a. Thus, both the first hollow columnar structure 712a and the second hollow columnar structure 711a have multiple roles, thereby further increasing the compactness of the atomizing device. Furthermore, a magnetic adsorption structure may be installed between the fixed inner plate 711 and the fixed outer plate 712. For example, a first permanent magnet may be installed on the fixed outer plate 712 and a second permanent magnet on the fixed inner plate 711, with the magnetisms of the first and second permanent magnets being different, thereby achieving magnetic adsorption and fixing of the fixed inner plate by the fixed outer plate 712. The fixed outer plate 712 may be fixed by being screwed to the garment processing drum, door device and / or connecting parts.

[0145] Preferably, a mounting opening is formed in the water tank 1, mounting ribs are formed on the inner wall of the mounting opening, and mounting grooves are formed on the edge of the fixed inner plate 711. The mounting ribs are installed in the mounting grooves to fix the fixed inner plate 711 to the water tank 1. The mounting opening may be square or semicircular, as long as the fixed inner plate 711 can fit into the mounting opening. For example, in the structures shown in Figures 3 and 4, the mounting opening is square, a U-shaped mounting rib 1f is formed on the inner wall of the square opening, and a U-shaped mounting groove 711b is formed on the edge of the fixed inner plate 711. The fixed inner plate 711 is inserted into the mounting opening from one side, and both sides of the U-shaped mounting rib 1f are first inserted into both sides of the U-shaped mounting groove 711b. When inserting to a predetermined position, all three sides of the U-shaped mounting rib 1f are inserted into all three sides of the U-shaped mounting groove 711b. If a decorative case 5 is present, the bottom of the fixed inner plate 711 can be secured using the decorative case 5. That is, when installing, the fixed inner plate 711 is first attached to the water tank 1, and then the decorative case 5 is secured to the water tank 1. The decorative case 5 can then rest the bottom of the fixed inner plate 711 on it and also close the electric chamber 1c.

[0146] In the present invention, the water tank 1 may adopt an integrated structure or a separate structure. When a separate structure is adopted, the inside of the water tank 1 can be easily cleaned. For example, as shown in Figures 3 to 7, the water tank 1 includes a tank body 11 and a tank lid 12. The tank body 11 is installed on the clothing processing drum, door device and / or connecting parts. The outlet 1a is formed in the tank body 11. Contact parts and locking parts are installed between the tank lid 12 and the tank body 11. When attaching the tank lid 12 and the tank body 11, the tank lid 12 is first brought into contact with the tank body 11 via the contact parts. The tank lid 12 and the tank body 11 are locked and fixed together via the locking parts. The contact parts may be a structure in which a contact rib or a contact rib and a contact groove are fitted together. For example, a contact rib may be formed on the tank lid 12. Figures 3 and 7 show an L-shaped contact rib 12a. When installing, the L-shaped contact rib 12a is brought into contact with the edge of the tank opening 11a formed on the tank body 11, which is fitted to the tank lid 12. The tank lid 12 and the tank body 11 are then locked together via the locking parts, enabling the tank lid 12 to close the tank opening 11a. Preferably, a second sealing component 8 is installed between the tank body 11 and the tank lid 12, and a through-hole 8a is formed in the second sealing component 8. The engaging component includes a first engaging member 91 installed on the tank lid 12 and a second engaging member 92 installed on the tank body 11, with the first engaging member 91 penetrating the through-hole 8a and engaging and fixing to the second engaging member 92. The second sealing component 8 may be a sealing ring, a sealing packing, or another sealing structure. The fitting of the through-hole 8a and the first engaging member 91 enables the first engaging member 91 to engage with the second engaging member 92, thereby enabling the attachment of the tank lid 12 to the tank body 11, and further positions the second sealing component 8, preventing the second sealing component 8 from flapping during the process of the tank lid 12 capping the tank opening 11a.Of course, the second seal component 8 may also have a positioning projection 8b, and the tank lid 12 may have a positioning groove 12b, and the positioning projection 8b and the positioning groove 12b may be fitted together. For example, if the second seal component 8 is an annular seal packing, the first engaging member 91 may be two in number and positioned on one pair of sides of the annular seal packing, the positioning projection 8b may be two in number and positioned on the other pair of sides of the annular seal packing, and there may also be two corresponding positioning grooves 12b. When the tank lid 12 caps the tank opening 11a, the fitting of the first engaging member 91 with the through-hole 8a enables positioning with respect to one pair of sides of the annular seal packing, and the positioning fitting of the positioning projection 8b with the positioning groove 12b enables positioning with respect to the other pair of sides of the annular seal packing, thereby ensuring that all four sides of the annular seal packing can be positioned and that the annular seal packing does not flap around or deform. Alternatively, in the above, the number of positioning protrusions 8b and the number of positioning grooves 12b may each be one. In one preferred case, the first engaging member 91 is a locking plate having a locking opening, and the second engaging member 92 is an engaging projection, and when attached, the locking plate passes through the through opening 8a and exposes the locking opening to engage the locking opening with the engaging projection. Of course, the first engaging member 91 and the second engaging member 92 may employ other engagement methods.

Specifically, the screwing of the supply lid 13 and the supply port 12c enables the supply lid 13 to screw in and out relative to the supply port 12c. That is, by rotating the supply lid 13 in one direction, the supply lid 13 can screw in and close the supply port 12c, and by rotating it in another direction, the supply lid 13 can screw out and open the supply port 12c. Of course, a flip-cover type structure in which the supply lid 13 and the supply port 12c are further pivotally connected may be adopted. A third sealing component may be installed between the supply cover 13 and the supply port 12c, and the third sealing component may be a sealing ring, a sealing packing, or another sealing structure.

[0148] Preferably, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, a handle ring 14 is pivotally connected to the outer surface of the supply lid 13, and the handle ring 14 can rotate in the non-up position and be housed in the supply port 12c, and may be pivotally connected to the outer surface of the supply lid 13, and after the supply lid 13 closes the supply port 12c, the outer surface of the supply lid 13 is at a certain distance from the edge of the outer opening of the supply port 12c, and this distance ensures that the handle ring 14 can be housed in the non-up position, and in this position the plane on which the handle ring 14 is located and the plane on which the outer surface of the supply lid 13 is located are parallel, and when the handle ring 14 is in the up position, for example the handle ring 14 exposes the supply port 12c, thereby making it convenient for the user to grasp, and the plane on which the handle ring 14 is located and the plane on which the outer surface of the supply lid 13 is located are perpendicular or at a certain angle, thereby twisting the handle ring 14 to enable the supply lid 13 to retract from the supply port 12c.

[0149] The garment processing method of the garment processing apparatus of the present invention includes injecting atomizing gas onto garments in a garment processing drum. In practical applications, the material and / or type of garments in the garment processing drum can be further detected, and the amount of atomizing gas to be introduced into the atomizer can be determined based on the material and / or type of garments. Furthermore, the introduction occasion and introduction time can also be determined based on the material and / or type of garments.

The tank body 1 has an outlet 1a, and the atomizing sheet 3 is installed at the outlet 1a. A contact part and a locking part are installed between the tank lid 2 and the tank body 1. When attaching the tank lid 2 and the tank body 1, the tank lid 2 is first brought into contact with the tank body 1 via the contact part, and the tank lid 2 and the tank body 1 are locked and fixed together via the locking part. The contact component may be a contact rib or a structure in which a contact rib and a contact groove are fitted together. For example, a contact rib may be formed on the tank lid 2. Figures 10 and 13 show an L-shaped contact rib 2a. When installing, as shown in Figures 10, 11, and 13, the L-shaped contact rib 2a is brought into contact with the edge of the tank opening 1d formed on the tank body 1, which is fitted to the tank lid 2. The tank lid 2 and the tank body 1 are then engaged via the engaging component, thereby achieving capping and closing of the tank opening 1d by the tank lid 2. The engaging component may be of a type in which a locking claw and a locking opening are fitted together, or of a type in which an engaging projection and an engaging groove are fitted together. Those skilled in the art can provide it flexibly.

The engaging component includes a first engaging member 51 installed on the tank lid 2 and a second engaging member 52 installed on the tank body 1, with the first engaging member 51 penetrating the through-hole 4a and engaging and fixing to the second engaging member 52. The sealing component 4 may be a sealing ring, a sealing packing, or another sealing structure. By fitting the through-hole 4a with the first engaging member 51, the first engaging member 51 engages with the second engaging member 52, thereby enabling the attachment of the tank lid 2 and the tank body 1, and further positioning the sealing component 4, preventing the sealing component 4 from flapping during the process in which the tank lid 2 caps the tank opening 1d. Of course, the sealing component 4 may also have positioning protrusions 4b, and the tank lid 2 may have positioning grooves 2b, and the positioning protrusions 4b and the positioning grooves 2b may be fitted together. For example, if the sealing component 4 is an annular seal packing, the first engaging members 51 may be two in number and located on one pair of sides of the annular seal packing, and the positioning protrusions 4b may be two in number and located on the other pair of sides of the annular seal packing. Accordingly, the number of positioning grooves 2b may also be two. When the tank lid 2 caps the tank opening 1d, the fitting of the first engaging members 51 with the through-hole 4a enables positioning of one pair of sides of the annular seal packing, and the positioning fitting of the positioning protrusions 4b with the positioning grooves 2b enables positioning of the other pair of sides of the annular seal packing, thereby ensuring that all four sides of the annular seal packing can be positioned and that the annular seal packing does not flap around or deform. Alternatively, in the above, the number of positioning protrusions 4b and the number of positioning grooves 2b may each be one. In one preferred case, the first engaging member 51 is a locking plate having a locking opening, and the second engaging member 52 is an engaging projection, and when installed, the locking plate passes through the through-hole 4a and exposes the locking opening to engage the locking opening with the engaging projection. Of course, the first engaging member 51 and the second engaging member 52 may employ other engagement methods.

Of course, a flip-cover type structure in which the supply lid 6 and the supply port 2c are further pivotally connected may be adopted.

The sealing component 5 may be a sealing ring, a sealing packing, or another sealing structure. The fitting of the through-hole with the first engaging member 61 enables the first engaging member 61 to engage with the second engaging member 62, thereby enabling the attachment of the tank lid 12 to the tank body 11, and also allows the sealing component 5 to be positioned, preventing the sealing component 5 from flapping during the process in which the tank lid 12 caps the tank opening 11a.Of course, positioning protrusions may be formed on the sealing component 5, and positioning grooves may be formed on the tank lid 12, and the positioning protrusions and positioning grooves may be fitted together.

The water tank 1 has an outlet 1a, the atomizing sheet 2 is installed at the outlet 1a, and a water storage chamber 1b and an electrical chamber 1c are formed inside the water tank 1, which are mutually isolated. For example, a partition structure 1e divides the inside of the water tank 1 into a mutually independent water storage chamber 1b and an electrical chamber 1c. The water storage chamber 1b communicates with the outlet 1a, and the water tank 1 further has a mounting opening. The wireless charging assembly 3 is fixed to the mounting opening, and the wireless charging assembly 3 is connected to the atomizing sheet 2 via a harness 4, and the harness 4 is located inside the electrical chamber 1c. The mounting opening may be square, or it may be semicircular, as long as the wireless charging assembly 3 can enter the mounting opening. The wireless charging assembly 3 may employ a wireless charging method by electromagnetic induction, or it may employ a wireless charging method by magnetic resonance, or of course, it may employ any other wireless charging method. The wireless charging assembly 3 may be inserted into the mounting port, further secured to the mounting port, or attached to the mounting port by magnetic attraction, and can be flexibly provided to those skilled in the art.

[0180] Preferably, as shown in Figures 30 and 31, the wireless charging assembly 3 includes a fixing component 31, an induction coil 32, an inductance element 33, a first circuit board 34, and a second circuit board 35, wherein both the induction coil 32 and the inductance element 33 are installed on the fixing component 31, and the induction coil 32 is fitted onto the outside of the inductance element 33, the first circuit board 34 is connected to the induction coil 32, and the second circuit board 35 is connected to the inductance element 33, and a mounting groove is formed in the fixing component 31, and a mounting rib is formed on the inner wall of the mounting opening, and the mounting rib is installed in the mounting groove so as to fix the fixing component 31 to the water tank 1.

The inductance element 33 generates a constant current in the induction coil 32 by electromagnetic induction based on alternating current of a constant frequency, thereby transferring electrical energy from the inductance element 33 to the induction coil 32, and thereby supplying power to the atomizing sheet 2. With this wireless charging method, the placement of a harness between the inductance element 33 and the induction coil 32 is omitted, making the space arrangement easier, and the electrical chamber 1c can be closed, eliminating the need to drill holes for the harness to pass through and preventing the intrusion of dust and other dirt.

Preferably, the diameter of the outer wall of the first hollow columnar structure 312a is equal to the diameter of the inner wall of the second hollow columnar structure 311a, thereby enabling mutual positioning of both the first and second hollow columnar structures 312a and 311a. The first and second hollow columnar structures 312a and 311a are made of insulating material, such as glass, plastic, or ceramic, and the absence of metal avoids the generation of electromagnetic shielding. It should be noted that both the end of the first hollow columnar structure 312a and the end of the second hollow columnar structure 311a preferably employ a closed-type installation. With this installation, the fixed outer plate 312 can function as a mounting base for the fixed inner plate 311, the fixed outer plate 312 can be fixed to other devices, the fixed inner plate 311 can be removed from the fixed outer plate 312 when it is necessary to add or replace solvent in the water tank 1, and the fixed inner plate 311 can be attached to the fixed outer plate 312 when it is necessary to install it, the first hollow columnar structure 312a and the second hollow columnar structure 311a can play a positioning role when installing, an inductance element 33 can be housed inside the first hollow columnar structure 312a, and an induction coil 32 can be fitted outside the second hollow columnar structure 311a, so that both the first hollow columnar structure 312a and the second hollow columnar structure 311a have multiple roles, thereby further increasing the compactness of the atomizing device.Furthermore, a magnetic adsorption structure may be installed between the fixed inner plate 311 and the fixed outer plate 312. For example, a first permanent magnet may be installed on the fixed outer plate 312 and a second permanent magnet on the fixed inner plate 311, with the magnetic properties of the first and second permanent magnets being different, thereby achieving magnetic adsorption and fixing of the fixed inner plate by the fixed outer plate 312.

[0182] Preferably, the mounting groove is formed in the fixed inner plate 311. For example, as shown in Figures 30 and 31, a U-shaped mounting groove 311b is formed on the edge of the fixed inner plate 311. The fixed inner plate 311 is inserted into the mounting opening from one side, and both sides of the U-shaped mounting rib 1f are first inserted into both sides of the U-shaped mounting groove 311b. When inserted to the predetermined position, all three sides of the U-shaped mounting rib 1f are inserted into the three sides of the U-shaped mounting groove 311b. The decorative case 5 can be used to secure the bottom of the fixed inner plate 311. That is, when installing, the fixed inner plate 311 is first attached to the water tank 1, and then the decorative case 5 is locked to the water tank 1. The decorative case 5 can support the bottom of the fixed inner plate 311 and also close the electric chamber 1c. Of course, the decorative case 5 may be connected to the water tank 1 by other connection methods.

[0183] Preferably, as shown in Figures 28 to 32, the decorative case 5 has an opening that communicates with the outlet 1a, and this opening ensures that the atomizing sheet 2 sprays atomized gas to the outside.

The decorative case 5 may also be equipped with positioning ribs, and the water tank 1 may be equipped with positioning grooves, and the positioning ribs and positioning grooves are positioned and fitted together. When installing, first the positioning ribs on the decorative case 5 and the positioning grooves on the water tank 1 are aligned, and then the positioning ribs gradually enter the positioning grooves, and the corresponding elastic locking claws and engaging protrusions are engaged with each other, thereby achieving pre-positioning using the positioning grooves and positioning ribs, and then the elastic locking claws and engaging protrusions achieve accurate locking between the decorative case 5 and the water tank 1.

[0184] In the present invention, the water tank 1 may adopt an integrated structure or a separate structure. When a separate structure is adopted, the inside of the water tank 1 can be easily cleaned. For example, as shown in Figures 30 to 34, the water tank 1 includes a tank body 11 and a tank lid 12. The tank body 11 is installed in another device, an outlet 1a is formed in the tank body 11, and contact parts and locking parts are installed between the tank lid 12 and the tank body 11. When attaching the tank lid 12 and the tank body 11, first the tank lid 12 is brought into contact with the tank body 11 via the contact parts and the locking parts are engaged. The tank lid 12 and the tank body 11 are locked and fixed together via the locking component. The locking component may have a structure in which a locking rib or a locking rib and a locking groove are fitted together. For example, a locking rib may be formed on the tank lid 12. Figures 30 and 34 show an L-shaped locking rib 12a. When installing, the L-shaped locking rib 12a is brought into contact with the edge of the tank opening 11a formed on the tank body 11, which is fitted to the tank lid 12. The tank lid 12 and the tank body 11 are locked together via the locking component, thereby enabling the tank lid 12 to close the tank opening 11a. Preferably, a sealing component 6 is installed between the tank body 11 and the tank lid 12, and a through-hole 6a is formed in the sealing component 6. The engaging component includes a first engaging member 71 installed on the tank lid 12 and a second engaging member 72 installed on the tank body 11, with the first engaging member 71 penetrating the through-hole 6a and engaging and fixing to the second engaging member 72. The sealing component 6 may be a sealing ring, a sealing packing, or another sealing structure. The fitting of the through-hole 6a and the first engaging member 71 enables the first engaging member 71 to engage with the second engaging member 72, thereby enabling the attachment of the tank lid 12 to the tank body 11, and also allows the sealing component 6 to be positioned, preventing the sealing component 6 from flapping during the process in which the tank lid 12 caps the tank opening 11a.Of course, positioning protrusions may also be formed on the seal component 6, and positioning grooves may be formed on the tank lid 12, and the positioning protrusions and positioning grooves may be fitted together. For example, if the seal component 6 is an annular seal packing, the first engaging members 71 may be two in number and positioned on one pair of sides of the annular seal packing, and the positioning protrusions may be two in number and positioned on the other pair of sides of the annular seal packing. When the tank lid 12 caps the tank opening 11a, the fitting of the first engaging members 71 with the through-hole 6a enables positioning relative to one pair of sides of the annular seal packing, and the positioning fitting of the positioning protrusions with the positioning grooves enables positioning relative to the other pair of sides of the annular seal packing, thereby ensuring that all four sides of the annular seal packing can be positioned and that the annular seal packing does not flap around or deform. In one preferred case, the first engaging member 71 is a locking plate having a locking opening, and the second engaging member 72 is an engaging projection. When installed, the locking plate passes through the through-hole 6a and exposes the locking opening, engaging the locking opening with the engaging projection.

Of course, the supply lid 13 and the supply port 12b may also be further connected in a flip-cover type structure. A seal ring may be installed between the supply lid 13 and the supply port 12b.

[0186] Preferably, a handle ring 14 is pivotally connected to the outer surface of the supply lid 13, and the handle ring 14 can rotate in the non-up position and be housed in the supply port 12b, and may be pivotally connected to the outer surface of the supply lid 13, and after the supply lid 13 closes the supply port 12b, the outer surface of the supply lid 13 is at a certain distance from the edge of the outer opening of the supply port 12b, and this distance ensures that the handle ring 14 can be housed in the non-up position, and in this position the plane on which the handle ring 14 is located and the plane on which the outer surface of the supply lid 13 is located are parallel, and when the handle ring 14 is in the up position, for example the handle ring 14 exposes the supply port 12b, thereby making it convenient for the user to grasp, and the plane on which the handle ring 14 is located and the plane on which the outer surface of the supply lid 13 is located are perpendicular or at a certain angle, thereby twisting the handle ring 14 to enable the supply lid 13 to retract from the supply port 12b.

After the supply cover 2 closes the supply port 1b, the outer surface of the supply cover 2 is at a certain distance from the edge of the outer opening of the supply port 1b, and this distance ensures that the handle ring 3 can be housed in the non-up position. In this position, the plane on which the handle ring 3 is located and the plane on which the outer surface of the supply cover 2 is located are parallel, and when the handle ring 3 is in the up position, for example, the handle ring 3 exposes the supply port 1b, making it convenient for the user to grasp.
