[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] 1-3 , the present invention provides a drum washing machine receiving platform, which relates to a drum washing machine A, which is provided with a drum door A1, and includes:

[0035] The supporting platform 100 is arranged at the lower edge of the clothes unloading port of the drum washing machine A, and includes a fixed end 101 connected to the outer shell of the drum washing machine A, a movable end 102 connected to the drum door A1, and a supporting part 103 connecting the fixed end 101 and the movable end 102. The supporting part 103 is a telescopic structure. The movable end 102 is arranged on the same rotation axis as the drum door A1, and can rotate with the opening and closing of the drum door A1, synchronously driving the supporting part 103 to expand and contract.

[0036] In this embodiment, a supporting platform 100 is provided at the lower edge of the clothes taking-out opening of the drum washing machine A. The supporting platform 100 consists of a movable end 102, a fixed end 101 and a supporting portion 103. The supporting portion 103 can be synchronously extended and retracted following the opening and closing of the drum door A1, so that when the drum door A1 is opened, a bearing platform can be formed at the lower edge of the clothes taking-out opening of the drum washing machine A to receive clothes that fall from the clothes taking-out opening, thereby preventing the clothes from being contaminated with dust again, and having a good use effect.

[0037] The support platform 100 can be formed by folding kraft paper, made of a metal material bracket or other rotatable and extendable structure. If it is made of kraft paper, please refer to Figure 6, and fold it in sequence according to the folding lines as shown in the figure, where mark a is the outward folding line and mark b is the inward folding line.

[0038] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-3, the support portion 103 is configured as a folding fan. This configuration allows the support portion 103 to be opened with the drum door A1, creating a fan-shaped structure. Dropped clothing can sink into the recessed portion of the support portion 103, increasing the contact strength between the dropped clothing and the support portion 103 and preventing the clothing from sliding off.

[0039] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1-3, an outer edge portion 104 is provided at the end of the supporting portion 103 away from the rotation center. The outer edge portion 104 is a foldable structure adapted to the end of the supporting portion 103, and the outer edge portion 104 is tilted upward, and the angle between the outer edge portion 104 and the supporting portion 103 is 90-180°.

[0040] This embodiment is configured in this way. By configuring the outer edge portion 104, it is possible to increase the bearing area of ​​the supporting portion 103 and to increase the anti-slip function at the edge of the supporting portion 103, so that clothes that fall to the edge of the supporting portion 103 are not easy to slide off, thereby improving the bearing function of the clothing connecting platform.

[0041] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 and 3, a reinforcing member 200 is also included at the rotating end of the supporting platform 100. The reinforcing member 200 includes a plurality of reinforcing plates 201 that are sequentially connected to the ends of the raised portions on the supporting portion 103. The reinforcing plates 201 are fixed to each other by penetrating locking members 202, and each reinforcing plate 201 is connected to the end of the raised portion on the corresponding supporting portion 103 through a soft connecting piece 203.

[0042] In this embodiment, the reinforcement plate 201 provides radial tension for the support platform 100 to enhance the structural stability and prevent the edge from sagging.

[0043] Among them, the reinforcing plate 201 located on the innermost side can be adhered to the outer shell surface of the drum washing machine A by applying adhesive, or can be fixed by other means.

[0044] Specifically, the locking member 202 can be a fastening screw.

[0045] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , the system further includes at least one folding frame 300 disposed on the bottom surface of the supporting platform 100 , which expands and contracts synchronously with the expansion and contraction of the supporting portion 103 to reinforce the support system of the supporting portion 103 .

[0046] This embodiment is configured in this way. Since the fan-shaped edge strength of the support platform 100 is insufficient, it is easy to cause overall deformation when placing clothes, and droop in the middle, especially at the edges. Therefore, the overall structural strength of the support platform 100 is improved by providing a folding frame 300 to avoid the problem of deformation when placing clothes.

[0047] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 4 , the folding frame 300 is formed by a plurality of connecting rods 301 hinged in sequence. Each connecting rod 301 is connected to the supporting portion 103 via a positioning shaft 302 , and adjacent connecting rods 301 are interlocking structures.

[0048] This embodiment is configured such that the foldable function of the folding frame 300 enables it to extend synchronously with the extension of the supporting platform 100, providing real-time reinforced support function for the supporting platform 100 without affecting the posture change of the supporting platform 100 extending and following the opening and closing of the cylinder door A1.

[0049] Specifically, adjacent connecting rods 301 have an interlocking structure, that is, when the folding frame 300 is fully folded, the connecting rods 301 can fit together to reduce the overall thickness, thereby adapting to the extension of the support platform 100. This can be achieved by opening a rod groove on the connecting rod 301 that is adapted to the adjacent connecting rods 301. The method is not limited to this method, and other structures that can make the thickness of the folding frame 300 as thin as possible after it is fully folded are also acceptable.

[0050] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 7, 9, 10 and 12, the housing 400 is further included. The housing 400 includes two integrally formed sub-shells 401. The two sub-shells 401 are assembled to form a space that can accommodate the support platform 100, and the two sub-shells 401 can be opened synchronously with the opening of the cylinder door A1.

[0051] In this embodiment, the outer shell 400 can not only protect the support platform 100, but also make the overall appearance of the drum washing machine neat, uniform and beautiful when the drum door A1 is closed.

[0052] This embodiment is suitable for the installation of a single supporting platform 100 .

[0053] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 7, 9, 11 and 12, a housing 400 is also included, the housing 400 includes two sub-shells 401, the sub-shells 401 include a first shell 4011 for accommodating the support platform 100 and a second shell 4012 for accommodating the reinforcement, and the first shell 4011 and the second shell 4012 are connected by a soft film 4013.

[0054] This embodiment is configured such that the reinforcement 200 and the supporting platform 100 can be accommodated separately through the configuration of the first shell 4011 and the second shell 4012, and during the unfolding process of the supporting platform 100, the reinforcement 200 maintains its current position unchanged, providing a stable edge reinforcement function for the supporting platform 100.

[0055] This embodiment is suitable for installing a reinforcement member 200 on the supporting platform 100 .

[0056] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 8 , the movable end 102 is a concave structure, and the middle portion thereof is connected to the cylinder door A1 via a linkage member 500 .

[0057] In this embodiment, the movable end 102 is configured in a concave structure, which can be easily adapted to the arc structure of the cylinder door A1 and can increase the anti-slip function at the edge of the supporting portion 103.

[0058] Preferably, the top surfaces of the movable end 102 and the fixed end 101 are higher than the top surface of the supporting portion 103 , so as to form a height difference and prevent fallen clothes from sliding off.

[0059] Specifically, the linkage member 500 can be made of an iron sheet, with both ends connected to the supporting platform 100 and the cylinder door A1 respectively by screws, or other structures that can perform a connecting function can be used.

[0060] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 8 , the supporting portion 103 is horizontally disposed at the lower edge of the clothes opening of the drum washing machine A.

[0061] In this embodiment, the supporting portion 103 is arranged horizontally to prevent the fallen clothes from easily sliding off again, thereby ensuring the clothes joining effect of the clothes joining platform.
