DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following description is only for the purpose of illustrating the basic principles of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0047] Most clothing processing equipment is a drum washing machine, whose frame is an N-shaped sheet metal box plus a front door panel. The upper and lower frames are reinforced by support members. The box and front door panel are both fixed structures and appearance surfaces. If the outer shell is damaged, the components inside the shell may also be damaged, making the product unable to operate.

[0048] Mini drum washing machines often feature plastic casings, with some corners reinforced with metal or reinforced with supporting members. The door is either plastic or plastic with metal supports. Because the main component is fixed by the plastic casing, a variety of design options are possible. However, this can lead to reduced load-bearing capacity and safety and stability. If the casing is damaged, it loses its safe and stable structural support.

[0049] From the above analysis, it can be seen that in the related art, since the shell of the clothing processing device used to clean clothes is both the appearance and the carrier, if the shell is damaged, it may cause damage to the components inside the shell and even cause the product to not operate normally.

[0050] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a clothing processing device, which aims to at least to some extent solve the technical problem that the product cannot operate normally when the shell of the product is damaged.

[0051] Figure 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of a clothing processing device in one or more embodiments of the present application, and Figure 2 shows an exploded schematic diagram of Figure 1. In conjunction with Figures 1 and 2, the clothing processing device includes a base 1, a housing 2, and a component fixing structure 3, wherein the component fixing structure 3 is used to support a clothing container 4 and mount components, the housing 2 is disposed on the periphery of the component fixing structure, and the housing 2 and the component fixing structure 3 are independently assembled on the base 1.

[0052] The clothing processing device provided in the present application has a shell 2 and is arranged on the periphery of the component fixing structure. There is a distance between the shell 2 and the component fixing structure, and the shell 2 and the component fixing structure 3 are independently assembled on the base 1. The component fixing structure 3 constitutes the carrier of the clothing processing device. The shell 2 is the appearance surface of the product. Even if the shell 2 is damaged or even the circumference of the shell 2 is completely cut, it will not affect the support of the component fixing structure for the clothing container 4, so that the product can still operate independently, the performance and function of the product are not lost, and it has good practicality.

[0053] In some embodiments, the housing 2 is detachably connected to the base 1. The housing 2 also protects the component fixing structure 3 to a certain extent. When the clothing processing device needs to be repaired, the housing 2 can be removed from the base 1 to expose the component fixing structure 3, thereby allowing for repair of components on the component fixing structure 3. Furthermore, the housing 2 can have a more diverse shape, such as a common square shape or the illustrated pebble shape, and can even be customized according to user needs to meet diverse user requirements.

[0054] Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of the housing in Figure 1, Figure 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the housing in Figure 3 from another perspective, Figure 5 is a schematic structural diagram of the base in Figure 1, and Figure 6 is a schematic structural diagram of the base in Figure 1 from a top view. In conjunction with Figures 3 to 6, the base 1 is a carrier of the clothing processing device, and its material can be plastic, but is not limited to plastic. A plurality of first connecting members 11 are arranged at intervals on the edge of the top of the base 1. The material of the housing 2 can also be plastic, but is not limited to plastic. A plurality of second connecting members 21 are arranged at the bottom of the housing 2. The second connecting members 21 are docked with the first connecting members 11 and are connected by bolts so that the housing 2 is assembled on the base 1. In other embodiments, the second connecting members 21 and the first connecting members 11 can also be assembled in the form of plug-in connection and then connected by bolts, which is not limited here.

[0055] Figure 7 shows an enlarged schematic diagram of point A in Figure 5. Combined with Figures 4 and 7, in a specific implementation, the first connecting member 11 can be a first cylinder arranged on the top of the base 1, and each first cylinder is provided with a bolt hole 12, and the bolt hole 12 is provided on the base 1; accordingly, the second connecting member 21 can be a second sleeve arranged on the inner wall of the outer shell 2, and the second sleeve and the first sleeve are docked or plugged, and then the second sleeve is connected to the bolt hole 12 on the base 1 by bolts, so that the outer shell 2 can be assembled on the base 1.

[0056] 4 and 7 , a plurality of first guide members 13 are spaced apart at the top edge of the base 1, and a plurality of second guide members 22 are provided at the bottom of the housing 2. The second guide members 22 slideably engage with the first guide members 13. When assembling the housing 2 onto the base 1, the housing 2 can be placed above the base 1 by hoisting, aligning the first guide members 13 and the second guide members 22. The housing 2 is then lowered. During the lowering process, the first guide members 13 and the second guide members 22 slideably engage with each other, effectively centering the first connecting member 11 and the second connecting member 21, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the housing 2 on the base 1.

[0057] 7 , in some embodiments, the first guide member 13 and the first connector 11 are spaced apart, and accordingly, the second guide member 22 and the second connector 21 are also spaced apart, so as to balance the forces applied to the assembly of the housing 2 and the base 1 and improve assembly reliability. In other embodiments, more than two first guide members 13 may be provided between two adjacent first connectors 11, or more than two first connectors 11 may be provided between two adjacent first guide members 13, without limitation herein.

[0058] 4 , the inner wall of the housing 2 may be vertically provided with a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 23. The bottoms of two adjacent first reinforcing ribs 23 are connected by a connecting plate 24, and the second connecting member 21 is connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 24. The second connecting member 21 may also be directly connected to the inner wall of the housing 2, which is not limited here.

[0059] 4 and 7 , in some embodiments, the first guide member 13 may be a U-shaped plate with its open side facing the interior of the base 1 , and two adjacent first reinforcing rib plates 23 may serve as the second guide member 22 to be inserted into the U-shaped plate.

[0060] Figure 8 shows a schematic diagram of the assembly structure of the component fixing structure and base in Figure 1, and Figure 9 shows a schematic diagram of the structure from another perspective of Figure 8. In conjunction with Figures 8 and 9, the component fixing structure 3 is the primary load-bearing component, providing structural support for components such as the clothing container 4, drying module 5, wiring harness, and door. The component fixing structure 3 can be constructed of a sheet metal frame to provide greater connection strength. To facilitate installation and maintenance, the component fixing structure 3 can include a support assembly for supporting the clothing container 4. The support assembly can include a first support frame 31 and a second support frame 32. The bottoms of the first and second support frames 31 and 32 are both connected to the base 1, and the sides of the second support frame 32 are connected to the sides of the first support frame 31 to form a load-bearing component for supporting the clothing container 4. In a specific implementation, the first and second support frames 31 and 32 can be connected to the base 1 via bolts. The first and second support frames 31 and 32 can be connected together by welding, riveting, or other connection methods. Of course, the support assembly can also be an integrally molded structure, which is not limited here.

[0061] Figure 10 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of Figure 9 with the cover removed. Figure 11 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the first support frame in Figure 8. Figure 12 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of Figure 11 from another perspective. Figure 13 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the second support frame in Figure 8. In conjunction with Figures 8-13, the first support frame 31 can be U-shaped, so that the first support frame 31 has an open side. For ease of description, the side frames located on opposite sides of the first support frame 31 are defined as the left frame 311 and the right frame 312. The frame located in the middle of the first support frame 31 is defined as the front frame 313. The second support frame 32 is connected to the open side of the first support frame 31 and is defined as the rear frame. The sides of the second support frame 32 are bent toward the sides of the first support member to form a bent portion 321 for connecting to the sides of the second support frame 32. In other embodiments, the component fixing structure 3 can be divided into more frames. For example, if the base 1 is square, the component fixing structure 3 can be divided into four sequentially connected frames. This is not a limitation here.

[0062] 2 , when the second support frame 32 is connected to the first support frame 31, the component fixing structure 3 can form a through-carrying portion with an open top, and the drying module 5 can be detachably mounted on the top opening of the carrying portion. When the drying module is removed from the top of the carrying portion, the opening on the top of the carrying portion can also be used as an inspection window to facilitate installation and maintenance of the product.

[0063] 8 to 13 , the tops of the first support frame 31 and the second support frame 32 are both bent inward to form a connecting bracket 33 , and the periphery of the drying module 5 can be connected to the connecting bracket 33 by bolts.

[0064] 8-10 , the upper portions of the two opposing side brackets (i.e., the left bracket 311 and the right bracket 312) of the first support frame 31 are each provided with a hanging member 6, and the clothing container 4 is hung on the hanging members 6 on the two side portions. The hanging members 6 may be elastic. The clothing container 4 may be a drum structure, with the outer drum of the clothing container 4 hung on the hanging members 6 on the two side portions. When the clothing processing device is in use, the clothing container 4 may swing. The provision of the elastic hanging member 6 can accommodate the swinging of the clothing container 4 to a certain extent.

[0065] 8 to 10 , a hanging seat 61 may be provided on the top of the hanging member 6 , and the hanging seat 61 is assembled to the connecting bracket 33 of the corresponding bracket by bolts to achieve assembly of the hanging member 6 on the first support frame 31 .

[0066] In the related art, dampers 7 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the clothing processing device to further adapt to the swinging of the clothing container 4, but the dampers 7 are directly assembled on the base 1. Under the condition that the base 1 is made of plastic material, the strength of the base 1 itself may not be able to adapt to the swinging of the clothing container 4, causing the connection of the damper 7 to fail and the damper 7 to lose its elastic support for the clothing container 4.

[0067] Combined with Figure 12, based on this, the opposite sides of the bottom of the two side brackets (i.e., the left bracket 311 and the right bracket 312) opposite to the first support frame 31 are connected with a bottom bracket 34, and the bottom bracket 34 extends toward the interior of the component fixing structure 3. The bottom bracket 34 is used to install the damper 7, so that the damper 7 can be assembled on the bottom bracket 34, that is, the damper 7 is assembled between the bottom bracket 34 and the clothing container 4. The bottom bracket 34 can be made of sheet metal material to have better strength, which can improve the adaptability to the swing of the clothing container 4 to a certain extent, so as to effectively provide elastic support for the clothing container 4.

[0068] Figure 14 shows an enlarged schematic diagram of point C in Figure 12 . In conjunction with Figures 12 and 14 , the bottom bracket 34 can be connected to the middle portion of the bottom of the two opposing side brackets (i.e., the left bracket 311 and the right bracket 312) of the first support frame 31. The two bottom brackets 34 can be spaced apart or connected together. In one embodiment, the bottom bracket 34 is preferably connected to the corresponding bracket in an integrally formed manner to enhance its strength. The bottom bracket 34 can be removably mounted to the base 1 via bolts.

[0069] 5 , 6 and 14 , a third guide member 341 may be provided on the bottom bracket 34 , and a fourth guide member 14 may be provided on the base 1 . The fourth guide member 14 and the third guide member 341 may be slidably fitted together to facilitate assembly of the bottom bracket 34 on the base 1 .

[0070] In conjunction with Figures 5, 6, and 14, one of the third guide member 341 and the fourth guide member 14 is a guide post, and the other is a guide hole. For example, a plurality of guide posts may be provided at intervals on the bottom of the bottom bracket 34 to serve as the third guide member 341 on the bottom bracket 34, and a plurality of guide holes may be provided on the bottom bracket to serve as the fourth guide member 14 on the base 1. When assembling the bottom bracket 34, the guide posts on the bottom bracket 34 are inserted into the corresponding guide holes on the base 1 to align the bolt holes 12 on the bottom bracket 34 and the base 1. The bottom bracket 34 can then be fixedly assembled on the base 1 with bolts, which is convenient and quick. In other embodiments, guide holes may also be provided on the bottom bracket 34 to serve as the third guide member 341 on the bottom bracket 34, and guide posts may be provided on the base 1 to serve as the fourth guide member 14 on the base 1. The assembly scheme is similar to the above and will not be described in detail here.

[0071] 14 , a damping mounting base 8 is provided on the top of the bottom bracket 34 for mounting the damper 7. Specifically, two opposing support plates 81 can be provided on the top of the bottom bracket 34 to serve as the damping mounting base 8. The two support plates 81 are provided with rotation holes 82. The bottom of the damper 7 is rotatably connected to the two support plates 81 via a rotating shaft, thereby mounting the damper 7 on the bottom bracket 34.

[0072] 14 , the two support plates 81 can be integrally formed with the bottom bracket 34, and a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 83 can be interspersed between the support plates 81 and the bottom bracket 34 to strengthen the support plates 81 and prevent deformation of the support plates 81, which could lead to assembly failure of the damper 7. In some embodiments, the second reinforcing ribs 83 can be located on opposite sides of the two support plates 81. In other embodiments, the second reinforcing ribs 83 can be located on opposite sides of the two support plates 81, or both opposite and opposite sides of the two support plates 81 can be provided with second reinforcing ribs 83. The specific arrangement can be reasonably determined based on the space available, and is not further described here.

[0073] 14 , a process hole 84 may be further provided on the bottom bracket 34. This process hole 84 can serve as a weight-reducing hole. A partition 85 may be provided in the middle of this process hole 84 to separate it into two through holes. The damping mounting seat 8 is disposed on this partition 85. In other embodiments, the process hole 84 may also be provided at other locations on the bottom bracket 34, which will not be described in detail here.

[0074] It should be noted that the installation scheme of the above-mentioned damper 7 is not only applicable to the clothing processing equipment shown in this application, but also applicable to other types such as drum washing machines and mini drum washing machines in related technologies, and is not limited here.

[0075] 8 and 9 , a sensor mounting hole 314 may be provided on the top of a side bracket (e.g., the right bracket 312) opposite the first support bracket 31, and the water level sensor 9 is mounted in the sensor mounting hole 314. This arrangement prevents the swinging of the clothing receiving member 4 from colliding with the water level sensor 9 and causing damage to the water level sensor 9, thereby extending the service life of the water level sensor 9.

[0076] In some embodiments, at least one of the two opposing side brackets of the first support frame 31 is provided with a window, namely, a window is provided on the left bracket 311 and / or the right bracket 312. This window can be defined as a first installation and maintenance access 315. In some embodiments, both the left bracket 311 and the right bracket 312 are provided with a first installation and maintenance access 315. The damper mounting seat 8 is located below the first installation and maintenance access 315 on the same side, and the water level sensor 9 is located above the damper mounting seat 8 on the right bracket 312. During assembly, wiring harnesses or pipeline fixing wires can be installed through the first installation and maintenance access 315 to check whether they are properly installed. During maintenance, at least the hanging member 6, the object storage member 4, the damper 7, and the water level sensor 9 can be repaired or replaced through the first installation and maintenance access 315. In other embodiments, the first installation and maintenance access 315 may be provided on only one side bracket, and parts on the other side bracket can be repaired or replaced through this first installation and maintenance access 315 or in conjunction with other installation and maintenance accesses.

[0077] In the related art, the clothes processing equipment is equipped with an electric control box. However, moisture generated when the clothes processing equipment is working can easily enter the electric control box 10. The electronic components in the electric control box 10 may not work due to moisture, and even cause safety accidents.

[0078] Figure 15 is a schematic structural diagram of the electric control box in Figure 8 , Figure 16 is an exploded schematic diagram of Figure 15 , and Figure 17 is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the electric control box on the first support frame. In conjunction with Figures 15-17 , based on the above-mentioned technical issues, an electric control box window 315 is provided on the support assembly. The electric control box 10 includes a box body 101 and a cover plate 102 . The box body 101 is provided with an assembly opening 1011 . The box body 101 is disposed in the electric control box window 315 , with the assembly opening 1011 of the box body 101 facing the outside of the support assembly. The cover plate 102 is provided to cover the assembly opening 1011 of the box body 101 to seal the box body 101 .

[0079] Since the assembly opening 1011 of the box body 101 faces the outside of the support assembly, the back of the box body 101 is located inside the support assembly and has no holes. This prevents moisture generated during operation of the laundry treatment device from entering the electric control box 10, thereby improving the safety of the electronic components within the electric control box 10. The cover 102 not only prevents users from touching the electric control box 10 and the electrical components (such as the radiator) therein and causing burns, but also prevents external moisture from entering the electric control box 10, thereby improving the safety of the electronic components within the electric control box 10.

[0080] 15-17 , at least a portion of the periphery of the assembly opening 1011 of the box body 101 may be provided with an outwardly extending overlapping portion 1012, which overlaps the edge of the electrical control box window 315, and the periphery of the cover plate 102 and the overlapping portion 1012 are connected to the edge of the electrical control box window 315 by bolts.

[0081] 16 , the box body 101 is roughly square in shape, and one or more harness openings 1013 are provided on the side of the box body 101. The harnesses used by the components in the component fixing structure 3 are sealed into the interior of the box body 101 through the corresponding harness openings 1013 to be connected to the electronic components inside the box body 101. Harness openings 1013 can be provided on both sides and the top of the box body 101. Of course, harness openings 1013 can also be provided in other positions, which can be adjusted accordingly according to the arrangement of the components in the component fixing structure 3, and are not limited here.

[0082] In some embodiments, a seal may be provided within the harness opening 1013. The harness seal passes through the corresponding seal within the harness opening 1013 to prevent moisture generated during operation of the laundry processing device from entering the electrical control box 10, thereby improving the moisture resistance of the electronic components within the electrical control box 10 and enhancing safety. In some embodiments, the seal may be an elastic sealing ring, a sealant, or a combination of an elastic sealing ring and a sealant, without limitation.

[0083] In addition, referring to FIG. 16 , a clearance opening 1014 is provided at the bottom of the box body 101 . The clearance opening 1014 is substantially in the shape of a Chinese numeral "X" to avoid the damper 7 , so as to facilitate the assembly of the damper 7 .

In other embodiments, corresponding adjustments can also be made according to the devices in the component fixing structure 3, which is not limited here.

[0113] In the related art, some small laundry processing appliances use an upper drainage system to improve installation convenience. Due to the high drainage location, these above-ground laundry processing appliances are usually equipped with a drainage pump. However, in actual use, it has been found that after use, some upper-drain laundry processing appliances leave a large amount of lint and dirt inside the washing tub, and the drainage pump frequently clogs, which not only increases the difficulty of cleaning the equipment but also hinders cost control.

[0114] Based on the above technical problems, this application continues to improve the clothing processing equipment to solve, to a certain extent, the technical problems that there are a lot of lint and dirt remaining in the wall of the washing drum, and the drainage pump is frequently blocked, which increases the difficulty of cleaning the equipment and is not conducive to controlling the cost of using the equipment.

[0115] As shown in Figures 23 to 29, the present disclosure proposes a drainage component 180 for use in a clothing processing device, wherein the drainage component 180 includes a shell portion 181, a filter portion 182, a pumping portion 183 and a cover portion 184. The shell portion 181 is formed with a liquid inlet cavity 1812, a drainage cavity 1813 and a cleaning port 1810. The drainage cavity 1813 and the cleaning port 1810 are both connected to the liquid inlet cavity 1812. The filter portion 182 is arranged in the shell portion 181, and the pumping portion 183 is arranged in the shell portion 181 for pumping the liquid in the drainage cavity 1813 to the outside of the shell portion 181; the cover portion 184 is arranged in the shell portion 181 for opening or covering the cleaning port 1810.

[0116] When the drainage component 180 provided by the present disclosure is used on a clothing processing device, the drainage component 180 includes a shell part 181, a filter part 182, a pumping part 183 and a cover part 184, wherein the shell part 181 has a liquid inlet cavity 1812, a drainage cavity 1813 and a cleaning port 1810, the liquid inlet cavity 1812 can be used to receive liquid, and the drainage cavity 1813 is connected to the liquid inlet cavity 1812, so that the liquid entering the liquid inlet cavity 1812 can also flow to the drainage cavity 1813. The filter portion 182 and the pumping portion 183 are both arranged in the shell portion 181, and the filter portion 182 is located inside the shell portion 181. The pumping portion 183 is used to pump the liquid in the drainage chamber 1813 to the outside of the shell portion 181, thereby providing power for the liquid to flow through the shell portion 181, so that the liquid flows from the liquid inlet chamber 1812 to the drainage chamber 1813, and accordingly, the liquid can flow through the filter portion 182 in the shell portion 181 to filter out the dirt carried by the liquid, prevent the aforementioned dirt from further flowing with the liquid, and reduce the possibility of the dirt further contaminating or clogging the equipment or pipes that have a fluid communication relationship with the drainage component 180. The cover body 184 is arranged on the shell body 181 and is used to open or cover the cleaning port 1810. The cleaning port 1810 is communicated with the liquid inlet chamber 1812. Therefore, when the cover body 184 opens the aforementioned cleaning port 1810, the convenience of cleaning the internal space of the shell body 181 can be improved. Accordingly, it is also convenient to clean or replace the filter part 182, which is beneficial to reduce the probability of blockage of the drainage component 180. In addition, when the cover body 184 covers the cleaning port 1810, it is beneficial to improve the airtightness of the internal space of the shell body 181 relative to the external environment, which is beneficial to reduce the leakage probability of the drainage component 180 and improve the cleanliness of the drainage component 180.

[0117] The drainage assembly 180 provided by the present disclosure can be used as a component of a clothing processing device. According to one embodiment of the present application, the liquid inlet cavity 1812 can be connected to the clothing receiving part 4 of the clothing processing device, so that the drainage assembly 180 can use the pumping part 183 to provide power for the sewage discharge in the clothing receiving part 4, so that the sewage in the clothing receiving part 4 flows into the liquid inlet cavity 1812 and is discharged through the drainage assembly 180, which is convenient for the clothing processing device to adopt the upper drainage method; in the process of sewage discharge, the drainage assembly 180 can also use the filter part 182 to filter out the lint, lint, hair and other dirt carried by the sewage, thereby reducing the front The possibility that the dirt will further follow the sewage out of the drainage cavity 1813 or enter the clothing container 4 due to the backflow of sewage is beneficial to reducing the difficulty of cleaning the clothing container 4 and reducing the possibility of clogging of the drainage pipe downstream of the drainage component 180; at the same time, after using the drainage component 180, it is also convenient for the user to clean the inside of the shell part 181 by opening the cleaning port 1810, which helps to reduce the probability of clogging of the drainage component 180, thereby reducing the failure rate and use cost of the drainage component 180 and the clothing processing equipment.

[0118] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 27 to 29, when the drain component 180 is applied to a clothing processing device, the shell portion 181 can be set at the bottom of the clothing processing device, for example, it can be set on the base 1 of the clothing processing device and located between the clothing container 4 and the base 1, thereby improving the bottom space utilization of the clothing processing device on the one hand, which is conducive to improving the miniaturization level of the clothing processing device and enhancing the adaptability of the drain component 180 to small clothing processing devices; on the other hand, since the drain component 180 can provide power for the flow of liquid, it is also convenient for the clothing processing device to adopt an upper drainage method, which is conducive to further improving the installation convenience of the clothing processing device. When the clothing processing apparatus has a dispensing device 160 for dispensing detergent, the shell portion 181 can also be arranged on one side of the dispensing device 160, and the shell portion 181 and the dispensing device 160 can both be arranged on the aforementioned base 1 and located between the clothing container 4 and the base 1, thereby improving the structural compactness of the clothing processing apparatus and improving the internal space utilization rate of the clothing processing apparatus; at the same time, the dispensing device 160 includes a liquid storage box 1601 and a decorative plate portion 1602, wherein the decorative plate portion 1602 is arranged on the liquid storage box 1601, the liquid storage box 1601 is used to accommodate the aforementioned detergent and can be extended or retracted into the clothing processing apparatus to facilitate the addition of detergent, and an operating port 27 corresponding to the aforementioned cleaning port 1810 can be opened on the clothing processing apparatus. When the liquid storage box 1601 is retracted into the clothing processing apparatus, the aforementioned decorative plate portion 1602 can cover the aforementioned operating port 27, thereby avoiding the need to add an independent cover for the aforementioned operating port 27, which is beneficial to improving the aesthetics of the clothing processing apparatus.

[0119] As shown in FIG. 25 , in some embodiments, the filter portion 182 is disposed within the liquid inlet cavity 1812 , so that the filter portion 182 is relatively close to the cleaning port 1810 for easy cleaning by the user.

[0120] As shown in Figures 23 to 25 and Figure 29, in some embodiments, the shell portion 181 includes a shell body 1814, a liquid inlet connector 1815 and a liquid discharge connector 1816. The shell body 1814 is formed with a liquid inlet cavity 1812, a liquid discharge cavity 1813 and a cleaning port 1810. The liquid inlet connector 1815 is arranged on the shell body 1814 and is connected to the liquid inlet cavity 1812; the liquid discharge connector 1816 is arranged on the shell body 1814 and is connected to the liquid discharge cavity 1813. The housing portion 181 may include a housing body 1814, a liquid inlet connector 1815, and a liquid discharge connector 1816. The housing body 1814 serves as the main portion of the housing portion 181 and is formed with the aforementioned liquid inlet cavity 1812, liquid discharge cavity 1813, and cleaning port 1810 to provide space for liquid circulation. The liquid inlet connector 1815 and liquid discharge connector 1816 are both disposed on the housing body 1814 and are connected to the liquid inlet cavity 1812 and liquid discharge cavity 1813, respectively. Thus, the housing portion 181 can be connected to upstream equipment or pipes on the liquid discharge path via the liquid inlet connector 1815, and to downstream equipment or pipes on the liquid discharge path via the liquid discharge connector 1816, thereby improving the convenience of connecting the housing portion 181 to external components. When the housing portion 181 includes the aforementioned liquid discharge connector 1816, the pumping portion 183 can discharge the liquid in the liquid discharge cavity 1813 to the outside of the housing portion 181 through the liquid discharge connector 1816.

[0121] According to one embodiment of the present application, the shell body 1814, the liquid inlet connector 1815 and the liquid discharge connector 1816 can be an integrated structure, so as to improve the connection reliability between the liquid inlet connector 1815 and the liquid discharge connector 1816 and the shell body 1814, and facilitate the production of the shell portion 181 by integrated molding, which is beneficial to simplify the production process of the shell portion 181 and reduce the difficulty of assembling the shell portion 181. At the same time, it is also beneficial to reduce the connection gap and reduce the probability of liquid leakage in the shell portion 181.

[0122] As shown in Figures 23 to 26, according to one embodiment of the present application, the shell body 1814 is a cylindrical structure. Along the axial direction of the shell body 1814, the liquid inlet chamber 1812 is located between the liquid discharge chamber 1813 and the cleaning port 1810, and a cleaning port 1810 is provided at one axial end of the shell body 1814; wherein, the liquid inlet connector 1815 and the liquid discharge connector 1816 are arranged on the circumferential side of the shell body 1814. The shell body 1814 can be a cylindrical structure, and the cleaning port 1810 is opened at one end of the shell body 1814 in the axial direction, and a liquid inlet chamber 1812 can be set along the axial direction of the shell body 1814 and located between the liquid discharge chamber 1813 and the cleaning port 1810. This not only improves the guiding effect of the shell body 1814 on the flow of liquid, but also facilitates the liquid in the liquid inlet chamber 1812 to flow to the liquid discharge chamber 1813 along the axial direction of the shell body 1814 under the drive of the pumping part 183 and further be discharged through the liquid discharge joint 1816; it can also make the liquid inlet chamber 1812 close to the cleaning port 1810 to a great extent, so that the user can open the cleaning port 1810 to clean the inside of the liquid inlet chamber 1812. Compared to drain chamber 1813, inlet chamber 1812 is located relatively upstream in the direction of liquid flow. Consequently, during use of drain assembly 180, the amount of dirt retained in inlet chamber 1812 is often greater than in drain chamber 1813. This arrangement further improves the ease of cleaning the drain assembly and reduces the likelihood of clogging of drain assembly 180. Furthermore, inlet connector 1815 and drain connector 1816 are both disposed on the circumference of housing body 1814, thereby reducing the axial dimension of housing portion 1814, improving the structural compactness and miniaturization of housing portion 181, and further enhancing the adaptability of drain assembly 180 to small laundry processing devices. In other embodiments, based on the aforementioned positional relationship between inlet chamber 1812 and drain chamber 1813, a gap is also present between inlet connector 1815 and drain connector 1816 along the circumference of housing body 1814.

[0123] As shown in FIG25 , according to one embodiment of the present application, the shell portion 181 further includes a partition 1817, which is disposed within the shell body 1814. The partition 1817 separates the interior of the shell body 1814 into a liquid inlet chamber 1812 and a liquid discharge chamber 1813. The partition 1817 is provided with a liquid passage hole 1818, and the liquid inlet chamber 1812 is connected to the liquid discharge chamber 1813 through the liquid passage hole 1818; wherein, at least a portion of the filter portion 182 is located between the liquid inlet connector 1815 and the liquid passage hole 1818, so that the liquid inlet chamber 1812 and the liquid discharge chamber 1813 are connected to each other, so as to facilitate liquid inlet. The liquid in liquid chamber 1812 is discharged through drainage chamber 1813. At least a portion of filter 182 is disposed between liquid inlet connector 1815 and liquid passage holes 1818. This allows the liquid to contact filter 182 during its flow from liquid inlet chamber 1812 to drainage chamber 1813. This allows filter 182 to filter out impurities carried by the liquid during the drainage process, thereby reducing the likelihood of impurities clogging drainage assembly 180 and further contaminating or clogging equipment or pipes in fluid communication with drainage assembly 180. This helps reduce the repair and maintenance costs of drainage assembly 180. The aforementioned partition 1817 may have a mesh structure, meaning that partition 1817 may be provided with a plurality of the aforementioned liquid passage holes 1818, which are arranged in an array on partition 1817. Therefore, during the drainage process, the aforementioned partition 1817 can be utilized to further filter impurities, thereby improving the filtration performance of drainage assembly 180.

[0124] As shown in FIG25 , the output end of the pumping portion 183 passes through one end of the housing body 1814 axially away from the cleaning port 1810 and is disposed within the drainage cavity 1813. That is, the pumping portion 183 and the aforementioned cleaning port 1810 are located at opposite ends of the housing body 1814 axially. When the pumping portion 183 is in operation, the output end of the pumping portion 183 can provide the necessary power for the liquid in the drainage cavity 1813 to flow, thereby causing the liquid in the drainage cavity 1813 to flow out of the housing portion 181 through the drainage connector 1816. At the same time, the output end of the pumping portion 183 can be relatively away from the liquid inlet cavity 1812 and the filter portion 182, thereby preventing dirt from affecting the operation of the output end of the pumping portion 183, thereby improving the operational stability and reliability of the pumping portion 183.

[0125] As shown in FIG. 25 , the cover portion 184 is detachably disposed on the housing body 1814 , the filter portion 182 is connected to the cover portion 184 , and the cover portion 184 is suitable for entering or exiting the liquid inlet cavity 1812 through the cleaning port 1810 . Since the cover body 184 and the shell body 1814 are in a detachable connection, the cover body 184 can open or cover the cleaning port 1810, the filter portion 182 is connected to the cover body 184, and the filter portion 182 is suitable for entering or exiting the liquid inlet chamber 1812 through the cleaning port 1810. Based on the above arrangement, when cleaning the drainage component 180, the user can remove the cover body 184 and take out the filter portion 182 from the inside of the shell body 1814, thereby reducing the number of components inside the shell body 1814, further facilitating the user to clean the inside of the shell body 1814, and also facilitating the user to clean or replace the filter portion 182, which is beneficial to further reduce the difficulty of cleaning and maintaining the drainage component 180, prevent the drainage component 180 from being blocked, and ensure the drainage performance and filtering performance of the drainage component 180.

[0126] As shown in Figure 25, the filter part 182 includes a connecting plate 1821 and a filter element 1822, one side of the connecting plate 1821 is connected to the cover body 184, and the filter element 1822 is arranged on the side of the connecting plate 1821 away from the cover body 184; wherein, the cover body 184 is threadedly connected to the shell body 1814, and when the cover body 184 is screwed onto the shell body 1814, the filter element 1822 is located in the liquid inlet cavity 1812, and in a plane perpendicular to the thread axis of the cover body 184, the orthographic projection of the filter part 182 is located within the orthographic projection of the cleaning port 1810. Since the two sides of the connecting plate 1821 are respectively connected to the cover body 184 and the filter element 1822, the cover body 184 is threadedly connected to the shell body 1814, which makes it convenient for the user to disassemble and assemble the cover body 184 relative to the shell body 1814 by rotating the cover body 184, which is beneficial to improving the operational convenience of the drainage assembly 180; when the cover body 184 is screwed onto the shell body 1814, the cover body 184 covers the aforementioned cleaning port 1810, and the filter element 1822 is located in the liquid inlet cavity 1812, so that the drainage assembly 180 can discharge and filter the liquid; at the same time, when the cover body 184 is screwed onto the shell body 1814, in the plane perpendicular to the thread axis of the cover body 184, the orthographic projection of the filter portion 182 is located at the orthographic projection of the cleaning port 1810 inside, so that the filter part 182 can be suitable for entering or exiting the liquid inlet cavity 1812 through the cleaning port 1810, and based on the connection relationship between the connecting plate 1821 and the cover body 184, it is also convenient for the user to remove the filter part 182 from the shell body 1814 while removing the cover body 184, thereby reducing the disassembly and assembly operations of the filter part 182, and thus improving the cleaning convenience of the filter part 182 and the shell body 1814. The above-mentioned positive projection of the filter part 182, that is, the projection of the filter part 182 in a plane perpendicular to the thread axis of the cover body 184, is generated by the projection line parallel to the aforementioned thread axis; accordingly, the above-mentioned positive projection of the cleaning port 1810, that is, the projection of the cleaning port 1810 in a plane perpendicular to the thread axis of the cover body 184, is generated by the projection line parallel to the aforementioned thread axis.

[0127] As shown in Figure 25, the filter part 182 also includes a sealing ring 1823, which is embedded in the circumferential side of the connecting plate 1821; wherein, when the filter element 1822 is located in the liquid inlet cavity 1812, the outer circumferential wall of the sealing ring 1823 abuts against the inner circumferential wall of the shell body 1814, and the sealing ring 1823 is located between the liquid inlet joint 1815 and the cleaning port 1810. The drainage component 180 can use the sealing ring 1823 to block the circumferential gap between the filter part 182 and the shell body 181 to prevent the liquid in the liquid inlet cavity 1812 from flowing to the cleaning port 1810 through the aforementioned circumferential gap, thereby further reducing the possibility of leakage of the drainage component 180 and improving the cleanliness and hygiene of the drainage component 180.

[0128] As shown in Figure 25, the cover body 184 is provided with an external thread, and the shell body 1814 is provided with an internal thread near the connection port, which allows the cover body 184 to be threadedly matched with the shell body 1814, making it convenient for users to disassemble and assemble the cover body 184, and is also beneficial to make the radial dimension of the cover body 184 smaller than the radial dimension of the shell body 1814, thereby reducing the volume of the cover body 184, improving the structural compactness and miniaturization level of the drainage component 180, and helping to further improve the adaptability of the drainage component 180 to small clothing processing equipment. When the drain assembly 180 is applied to a clothing processing device, the housing assembly 200 of the clothing processing device will be provided with an operating port 27 corresponding to the aforementioned cleaning port 1810, so that the user can perform the disassembly and assembly operations of the cover body 184 through the aforementioned operating port 27. Since the drain assembly 180 can have a relatively small cover body 184, it is also beneficial to reduce the size of the operating port 27 and reduce the opening area of ​​the housing assembly 200. While it is beneficial to improve the structural reliability of the housing assembly 200, it can also enhance the aesthetics of the housing assembly 200.

[0129] The cover portion 184 is provided with anti-slip grooves on the side facing away from the connecting plate 1821, which can further facilitate the user to rotate the cover portion 184, thereby further improving the convenience of operation and cleaning of the drainage component 180 and providing favorable conditions for reducing the probability of blockage of the drainage component 180.

[0130] As shown in Figure 26, in some embodiments, the drainage assembly 180 also includes a liquid inlet pipe 185, a first liquid drain pipe 186 and an air chamber connecting pipe 187. One end of the liquid inlet pipe 185 is connected to the liquid inlet cavity 1812, and the other end is used to connect to the clothing receiving part 4 of the clothing processing device. One end of the first liquid drain pipe 186 is connected to the drainage cavity 1813; one end of the air chamber connecting pipe 187 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 185, and the other end is used to connect to the air chamber of the clothing processing device. During use, the drain assembly 180 can be connected to the sewage generated during the clothing treatment process through the liquid inlet pipe 185 to provide power for the discharge of the aforementioned sewage, and can filter the aforementioned sewage during the discharge process, which is beneficial to reducing the residual dirt in the clothing container 4 and reducing the possibility of blockage in the sewage discharge path; the liquid discharged by the pumping part 183 can be further discharged through the first drain pipe 186, which is beneficial to extending the drainage pipeline length of the drain assembly 180, thereby reducing the requirements of the drain assembly 180 for the installation position, and improving the installation convenience of the drain assembly 180 and the clothing treatment device. It can be understood that when the shell part 181 includes the aforementioned drain connector 1816, one end of the first drain pipe 186 can be connected to the drain connector 1816; the two ends of the air chamber connecting pipe 187 are respectively connected to the air chamber of the clothing treatment device and the liquid inlet pipe 185, so that the drain assembly 180 can further receive the liquid in the aforementioned air chamber to facilitate the drainage of the air chamber of the clothing treatment device, which is beneficial to further improve the operating stability and reliability of the clothing treatment device.

[0131] As shown in Figure 26, the liquid inlet pipe 185 can be a C-shaped tube, that is, the two end pipe openings of the liquid inlet pipe 185 are arranged on the same side, so that the drainage component can have a smaller lateral installation size when the shell part 181 is located between the clothing container 4 and the base 1.

[0132] As shown in Figure 26, the first drainage tube 186 can have a first end and a second end. The end connected to the drainage chamber 1813 can be the first end of the first drainage tube 186. Accordingly, the second end of the first drainage tube 186 can extend away from the shell portion 181, thereby extending the discharge line of the drainage assembly 180.

[0133] As shown in Figures 26 and 28, when the shell portion 181 is arranged on the base 1, the distance between the first drain pipe 186 and the base 1 increases or remains unchanged along the direction from the first end to the second end. On the one hand, it is convenient for the clothes processing apparatus to adopt an upward drainage method, further improving the installation convenience of the clothes processing apparatus; on the other hand, the first drain pipe 186 can be kept in an upward or horizontal state in various parts along the direction from the first end to the second end. That is, along the direction from the first end to the second end, any section of the first drain pipe 186 is made to deviate from the direction of gravity or extend along the horizontal plane, avoiding the first drain pipe 186 from having a descending section or a U-shaped section along the way. Further, after the pumping unit 183 stops pumping, the liquid remaining in the first drain pipe 186 can flow back into the shell portion 181 under the action of gravity or remain continuous with the liquid in the shell portion 181, avoiding the phenomenon of air entrapment in the first drain pipe 186 or the shell portion 181, which is beneficial to improving the drainage performance of the drain assembly 180 and reducing the operating noise of the drain assembly 180.

[0134] If, in the direction from the first end to the second end, the first liquid discharge pipe 186 has a U-shaped pipe section that first approaches the base 1 and then moves away from the base 1, then after the pumping part 183 stops pumping, there will be accumulated water in the aforementioned U-shaped pipe section that cannot flow back into the shell part 181 under the action of gravity. Accordingly, there will be a section of residual air between the shell part 181 and the aforementioned U-shaped pipe section, thereby causing air entrapment. At the same time, the aforementioned residual gas portion is not easy to be discharged during the subsequent operation of the pumping part 183, which affects the smooth discharge of the liquid and easily causes a large liquid discharge noise. The drainage component 180 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is based on the above-mentioned setting, which can avoid the appearance of a U-shaped pipe section along the first drainage pipe 186. Further, after the pumping part 183 stops pumping, the liquid remaining in the first drainage pipe 186 can flow back to the shell part 181 under the action of gravity or remain continuous with the liquid in the shell part 181, thereby avoiding the air trapping phenomenon in the first drainage pipe 186 or the shell part 181, which is beneficial to improving the drainage performance of the drainage component 180 and reducing the operating noise of the drainage component 180.

[0135] The distance from the first drainage pipe 186 to the base 1 increases or remains unchanged in the direction from the first end to the second end. The distance may continuously increase or remain unchanged or increase in stages in the direction. The continuous increase means that the first drainage pipe 186 remains in an extended state away from the direction of gravity along the entire length. The unchanged state means that the first drainage pipe 186 extends in the horizontal plane direction along the entire length. The staged increase means that the first drainage pipe 186 has both pipe sections extending in the horizontal plane direction and pipe sections extending away from the direction of gravity along the entire length.

[0136] As shown in Figures 26 and 28, the first drainage pipe 186 includes a first pipe section 1861, a second pipe section 1862 and a third pipe section 1863. The first pipe section 1861 has the aforementioned first end. When the shell part 181 is set on the base 1, the first pipe section 1861 is arranged obliquely relative to the base 1. The second pipe section 1862 has the aforementioned second end. When the shell part 181 is set on the base 1, the first pipe section 1861 is arranged obliquely relative to the base 1; the third pipe section 1863 is connected between the first pipe section 1861 and the second pipe section 1862. When the shell part 181 is set on the base 1, the third pipe section 1863 is parallel to the base 1. Based on the above-mentioned setting, on the one hand, the first drainage tube 186 can be prevented from continuously rising relative to the base 1 in the direction from the first end to the second end, which is beneficial to improving the smoothness of the first drainage tube 186, and then beneficial to the smooth discharge of the liquid, thereby improving the drainage performance of the drainage assembly 180; on the other hand, the first drainage tube 186 can also have a bending structure, which is beneficial to avoiding other components in actual applications and improving the installation convenience of the first drainage tube 186.

[0137] As shown in FIG28 , when the shell portion 181 includes the aforementioned drain connector 1816, the aforementioned first end is connected to the aforementioned drain connector 1816, so that the first drain pipe 186 can be connected to the drain cavity 1813 through the drain connector 1816; when the shell body 1814 is set on the base 1, the drain connector 1816 is arranged obliquely relative to the base 1, and the minimum distance from the drain connector 1816 to the base 1 is greater than the minimum distance from the drain cavity 1813 to the base 1, so that the drain connector 1816 can be placed in a relatively high position, which is convenient for clothing. The treatment equipment adopts an upper drainage method, which is beneficial to further improve the installation convenience of the clothing treatment equipment; on the other hand, it can also improve the adaptability of the drain joint 1816 to the first drain pipe 186, avoiding the formation of a bent structure that is easy to accumulate liquid between the drainage structure and the first drain pipe 186, and is beneficial to the backflow of accumulated liquid in the first drain pipe 186 to the drainage cavity 1813, further reducing the possibility of air trapping in the drainage component 180, which is beneficial to further reduce the operating noise of the drainage component 180 and provide further protection for the drainage performance of the drainage component 180.

[0138] As shown in Figures 26 and 28, the drain assembly 180 further includes a second drain pipe 188 and a drain connector 189. The second drain pipe 188 is used to be arranged outside the clothing processing device, thereby serving as an external drain pipe of the clothing processing device, so as to improve the drainage convenience and installation convenience of the clothing processing device. Accordingly, the first drain pipe 186 can be arranged inside the clothing processing device to serve as an internal drain pipe of the clothing processing device; the drain connector 189 is provided on the housing assembly 200 and connected to the housing assembly 200. It is connected between the first drain pipe 186 and the second drain pipe 188, so that the liquid in the first drain pipe 186 can be further discharged through the second drain pipe 188, and both the first drain pipe 186 and the second drain pipe 188 can be fixed to the housing assembly 200 through the drain connector 189 to ensure the installation stability of the drain assembly 180, and reduce the probability of the first drain pipe 186 or the second drain pipe 188 loosening, reduce the risk of leakage of the drain assembly, and provide a guarantee for the smooth progress of the draining process. The aforementioned drain connector 189 can be a tubular structure and connected to the second end of the first drain pipe 186. In addition, the first end and the second end of the first drain pipe 186 are respectively clamped to the pumping part 183 and the drain connector 189, so that the two ends of the first drain pipe 186 can be clamped to the corresponding structure, reducing the possibility of the first drain pipe 186 loosening and leaking.

[0139] As shown in Figures 27 to 29, a clothing processing device provided by the present disclosure includes a base 1, a shell 2, a clothing container 4 and the above-mentioned drainage component 180, the shell 2 is arranged on the base 1; the clothing container 4 is arranged on the casing component 200, the shell 2 is formed with a clothing inlet 26 connected to the clothing container 4, the above-mentioned drainage component 180 is arranged between the clothing container 4 and the base 1, and the liquid inlet cavity 1812 is connected to the drainage end of the clothing container 4; wherein, the shell 2 is also formed with an operation port 27, and the cleaning port 1810 is arranged corresponding to the operation port 27.

[0140] The clothes processing device provided by the present disclosure includes a shell component 200, a clothes container 4 and the above-mentioned drainage component 180, wherein the shell component 200 may include a base 1 and an outer shell 2, the base 1 can be used as the bottom support of the clothes container 4, and also provide reliable support for other components of the clothes processing device. Accordingly, the outer shell 2 is arranged on the aforementioned base 1; the clothes container 4 is arranged on the shell component 200, for holding and processing clothes to be processed, and the aforementioned processing can be but is not limited to washing, dehydration, drying, etc. The outer shell 2 is formed with a clothes feeding port 26, and the clothes container 4 is connected to the aforementioned clothes feeding port 26, so that the user can put clothes to be processed into the clothes container 4 during use, or take out clothes in the clothes container 4 after processing; the aforementioned drainage component 180 is arranged between the base 1 and the clothes container, so as to improve the clothes processing device The bottom space utilization rate is improved, the structural compactness and miniaturization level of the clothing processing equipment are improved, and the installation of the clothing processing equipment is further facilitated. Accordingly, the liquid inlet chamber 1812 of the drainage component 180 is connected to the clothing receiving part 4, so that the drainage component 180 can use the pumping part 183 to provide power for the sewage discharge in the clothing receiving part 4, so that the sewage in the clothing receiving part 4 flows into the liquid inlet chamber 1812 and is discharged through the drainage component 180, which is convenient for the clothing processing equipment to adopt an upper drainage method; in the process of sewage discharge, the drainage component 180 can also use the filtering part 182 to filter out the lint, lint, hair and other dirt carried by the sewage, reducing the possibility of the aforementioned dirt further following the sewage out of the drainage chamber 1813 or entering the clothing receiving part 4 due to sewage backflow, which is beneficial to reducing the difficulty of cleaning the clothing receiving part 4 and reducing the possibility of clogging the drainage pipe downstream of the drainage component 180. At the same time, the aforementioned shell 2 is also formed with an operating port 27, and the cleaning port 1810 of the drainage component 180 is arranged corresponding to the operating port 27, so that the user can operate the cover body 184 through the operating port 27 to open or cover the cleaning port 1810, thereby improving the cleaning convenience of the drainage component 180, reducing the risk of blockage of the drainage component 180, and helping to control the use cost of the clothing processing equipment.

[0141] Since the shell 2 has a clothing insertion port 26, the shell 2 is usually arranged in a relatively open space in actual application to improve the operating convenience of the clothing processing device. Therefore, by opening the aforementioned operating port 27 in the aforementioned shell 2, the operating port 27 and the cover body 184 of the drainage component 180 can also have higher operating convenience, thereby facilitating the user to clean the drainage component 180.

[0142] As shown in Figures 27 to 29, the laundry processing device further includes a door 110, which is disposed on the housing 2 and is configured to open or cover the laundry loading opening 26. When the door 110 covers the laundry loading opening 26, it also covers the operating opening 27. During the laundry processing process, the door 110 can cover the laundry loading opening 26, ensuring a good seal within the laundry container 4 and improving the stability and reliability of the laundry processing process. Accordingly, when the door 110 opens the laundry loading opening 26, it facilitates the user's access to and placement of laundry. When the door 110 covers the laundry loading opening 26, it can also cover the operating opening 27. Thus, the laundry processing device can utilize the door 110 to simultaneously open or cover the laundry loading opening 26 and the operating opening 27, eliminating the need for a separate cover for the operating opening 27. This improves the aesthetics of the laundry processing device while reducing the number of components, further reducing the production and operating costs of the device.

[0143] As shown in Figures 27 to 29, the clothing processing equipment also includes a dispensing device 160, which includes a liquid storage box 1601 and a decorative panel portion 1602. The liquid storage box 1601 is used to contain detergent and is connected to the clothing storage part. The decorative panel portion 1602 is arranged on the liquid storage box 1601; wherein, the liquid storage box 1601 can extend or retract into the casing assembly 200, and when the liquid storage box 1601 is retracted into the casing assembly 200, the decorative panel portion 1602 covers the operating port 27.

[0144] During the clothing processing process, the dispensing device 160 can improve the convenience of dispensing detergent, and the liquid storage box 1601 can be extended or retracted into the housing assembly 200. When the liquid storage box 1601 is extended from the housing assembly 200, it is convenient for the user to add detergent. When the liquid storage box 1601 is retracted into the housing assembly 200, the space occupied by the clothing processing equipment can be reduced and the aesthetics of the clothing processing equipment can be improved. At the same time, the aforementioned dispensing device 160 can also include a decorative plate portion 1602, which is provided on the aforementioned liquid storage box 1601. When the liquid storage box 1601 is retracted into the housing assembly 200, the decorative plate portion 1602 can be provided on the aforementioned liquid storage box 1601. In the case of the housing assembly 200, the decorative plate portion 1602 can simultaneously cover the aforementioned operation port 27. Based on the aforementioned arrangement, the dispensing device 160 and the drain assembly 180 can be arranged adjacent to each other, which is conducive to improving the structural compactness and miniaturization of the clothing processing device. In addition, when the liquid storage box 1601 extends out of the housing assembly 200, the operation port 27 can also be opened simultaneously, thereby avoiding the need to configure a separate cover for the operation port 27. While improving the aesthetics of the clothing processing device, it also reduces the number of parts of the clothing processing device, further reducing the production cost and use cost of the clothing processing device. The aforementioned cleaning agent can be, but is not limited to, laundry liquid, softener, detergent, disinfectant, etc.

[0145] As shown in Figure 28, when the drainage assembly 180 includes a first drainage pipe 186, the first end of the first drainage pipe 186 is connected to the drainage cavity 1813, the second end of the first drainage pipe 186 extends away from the shell portion 181, and along the direction from the first end to the second end, the distance from the first drainage pipe 186 to the base 1 increases or remains unchanged. The arrangement of the first drain pipe 186 of the drainage component 180 is constrained. On the one hand, it is convenient for the clothing processing equipment to adopt an upward drainage method, further improving the installation convenience of the clothing processing equipment; on the other hand, the first drain pipe 186 can be kept in an upward or horizontal state in various parts along the direction from the first end to the second end, that is, along the direction from the first end to the second end, any pipe section of the first drain pipe 186 is made to deviate from the direction of gravity or extend along the horizontal plane, avoiding the first drain pipe 186 from having a descending pipe section or a U-shaped pipe section along the way, and then after the pumping part 183 stops pumping, the liquid retained in the first drain pipe 186 can flow back to the shell part 181 under the action of gravity or remain continuous with the liquid in the shell part 181, avoiding the air trapped phenomenon in the first drain pipe 186 or the shell part 181, which is beneficial to improving the drainage performance of the drainage component 180 and reducing the operating noise of the drainage component 180.

[0146] If, in the direction from the first end to the second end, the first liquid discharge pipe 186 has a U-shaped pipe section that first approaches the base 1 and then moves away from the base 1, then after the pumping part 183 stops pumping, there will be accumulated water in the aforementioned U-shaped pipe section that cannot flow back into the shell part 181 under the action of gravity. Accordingly, there will be a section of residual air between the shell part 181 and the aforementioned U-shaped pipe section, thereby causing air entrapment. At the same time, the aforementioned residual gas portion is not easy to be discharged during the subsequent operation of the pumping part 183, which affects the smooth discharge of the liquid and easily causes a large liquid discharge noise. The drainage component 180 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is based on the above-mentioned setting, which can avoid the appearance of a U-shaped pipe section along the first drainage pipe 186. Further, after the pumping part 183 stops pumping, the liquid remaining in the first drainage pipe 186 can flow back to the shell part 181 under the action of gravity or remain continuous with the liquid in the shell part 181, thereby avoiding the air trapping phenomenon in the first drainage pipe 186 or the shell part 181, which is beneficial to improving the drainage performance of the drainage component 180 and reducing the operating noise of the drainage component 180.

[0147] The distance from the first drainage pipe 186 to the base 1 increases or remains unchanged in the direction from the first end to the second end. The distance may continuously increase or remain unchanged or increase in stages in the direction. The continuous increase means that the first drainage pipe 186 remains in an extended state away from the direction of gravity along the entire length. The unchanged state means that the first drainage pipe 186 extends in the horizontal plane direction along the entire length. The staged increase means that the first drainage pipe 186 has both pipe sections extending in the horizontal plane direction and pipe sections extending away from the direction of gravity along the entire length.

[0148] In the prior art, the door seal assembly of a clothing handling appliance includes a fixing plate and a decorative plate. The fixing plate is used to secure the door seal. The decorative plate is disposed externally thereto, and the decorative plate defines a mounting hole within which the door seal is positioned. However, a gap exists between the door seal and the wall of the mounting hole, which not only affects the appearance but also makes it easy for lost items to become trapped in the gap. Furthermore, if a user accidentally inserts their hand into the gap, it can become trapped and potentially scratched by the sharp edges of the decorative plate, compromising safety.

[0149] Based on the above technical problems, the present application provides a door seal assembly applied to a clothing processing device to improve the safety of use of the clothing processing device.

[0150] As shown in Figures 30 to 33, the present disclosure provides a door seal assembly for use in a clothing processing device, which may include a decorative plate 131, a door seal 132, a decorative component 133 and a fixing plate 134. The decorative plate 131 is provided with a mounting hole 1311, the fixing plate 134 is arranged on the inner surface of the decorative plate 131, the door seal 132 is arranged in the mounting hole 1311 and fixed on the fixing plate 134, and the decorative component 133 is arranged between the door seal 132 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 1311 to cover the mounting hole 1311.

[0151] The door seal assembly provided by the present disclosure provides a decorative part 133 between the door seal 132 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 1311 of the decorative plate 131 to cover the mounting hole 1311 of the decorative plate 131, thereby covering the assembly gap between the door seal 132 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 1311, thereby improving the aesthetics and preventing lost objects from getting stuck in the assembly gap. In addition, it can also prevent users from getting injured by putting their hands into the assembly gap, thereby improving the safety of the clothing processing equipment.

[0152] Referring to Figures 30, 31, 34 and 35, since the door seal 132 and the mounting hole 1311 are usually circular, the assembly gap between the door seal 132 and the decorative panel 131 is usually annular. Correspondingly, the decorative part 133 is an annular structure and surrounds the outer periphery of the door seal 132. In this way, the decorative part 133 can seal the entire assembly gap at one time, which is more convenient to use and has a simple and beautiful appearance.

[0153] Referring to Figures 33, 34 and 35, the decorative part 133 can be fixed in the mounting hole 1311 or on the door seal 132; the inner diameters of the two ends of the decorative part 133 in the axial direction are different, the inner surface of the axial outer end of the decorative part 133 abuts against the door seal 132, and the circumferential part of the outer surface of the decorative part 133 abuts against the hole wall of the mounting hole 1311. The inner diameters of the two ends of the decorative part 133 in the axial direction are different, that is, one axial end of the decorative part 133 is a large head end, and the other axial end is a small head end. The whole can be in the shape of a cone. After the decorative part 133 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the door seal 132, the inner surface of one axial end of the decorative part 133 can abut against the outer edge of the door seal 132, and the outer surface of the circumferential part of the decorative part 133 can abut against the decorative plate 131. In this way, the decorative part 133 is used to block the assembly gap between the door seal 132 and the decorative plate 131, so that there is no need to use a decorative part 133 with a thickness consistent with the width of the assembly gap to block the assembly gap, which saves material of the decorative part 133, reduces the weight of the decorative part 133, and facilitates the installation of the decorative part 133.

[0154] According to one embodiment of the present application, the decorative member 133 is snap-fitted to the decorative panel 131 without the need for fasteners such as screws, which not only reduces costs but also further improves the aesthetic appearance of the door seal assembly.

[0155] 33, 34, and 35, the decorative member 133 may include a mounting surface facing the decorative plate 131. A first clip 135 and a second clip 136 may be provided on the mounting surface. The first clip 135 and the second clip 136 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the decorative member 133, and the decorative plate 131 is engaged between the first clip 135 and the second clip 136. Providing the first clip 135 and the second clip 136 on the mounting surface of the decorative member 133 allows the decorative plate 131 to be engaged between the first clip 135 and the second clip 136, thereby preventing axial movement of the decorative member 133 and ensuring secure installation of the decorative member 133 on the decorative plate 131.
