By exposing the filter 14 through the through hole 134 on the mounting box 13 and the opening 133 and the operation hole 140 on the cabinet 120, i.e., the operation hole 140 can be regarded as the original opening 133 on the cabinet 120, and the operation hole 140 is not separately provided for the second end 2220 of the manual unlocking piece 220 and the fastener 230, and the control of the manual unlocking piece 220 can be realized by using the original operation hole 140 on the cabinet 120 for draining, thereby reducing the production cost and improving the device integration and overall appearance of the laundry treating apparatus 10.

[0054] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, the laundry treating apparatus 10 further comprises a filter 14 disposed at an operation hole 140 in the containing space, and the mounting box 13 is located between the filter 14 and the cabinet 120. A through hole 134 is provided on the bottom of the box body 131 of the mounting box 13 opposite to the opening 133, and the filter screen of the filter 14 is exposed through the through hole 134 on the mounting box 13 and the opening 133 and the operation hole 140 on the cabinet 120, i.e., the filter screen can be taken out from the operation hole 140 on the cabinet 120 through the through hole 134 on the box body 131 and the opening 133. By exposing the filter 14 through the through hole 134 on the mounting box 13 and the opening 133 and the operation hole 140 on the cabinet 120, i.e., the operation hole 140 can be regarded as the original opening 133 on the cabinet 120, and the operation hole 140 is not separately provided for the second end 2220 of the manual unlocking piece 220 and the fastener 230, and the control of the manual unlocking piece 220 can be realized by using the original operation hole 140 on the cabinet 120 for draining, thereby reducing the production cost and improving the device integration and overall appearance of the laundry treating apparatus 10.

[0055] The opening 133 of the box body 131 is in position correspondence with the operation hole 140 on the cabinet 120, the diameter of the operation hole 140 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the opening 133, that is, in the direction perpendicular to the plane on which the opening 133 and the operation hole 140 are located, the projection of the operation hole 140 can completely cover the projection of the opening 133. Therefore, the manual unlocking piece 220 is completely misaligned with the filter cover 141 relative to the operation hole 140, avoiding interference of the manual unlocking piece 220 on the filter screen when the filter screen is taken out, and the user's use experience can be improved.

[0056] In some embodiments, the clothes treatment apparatus 10 includes a frame, the bottom of the frame is provided with a cabinet reinforcing member 150, for example, a reinforcing plate, the filter 14 can be fixed on the reinforcing plate, the filter cover 141 of the filter 14 is exposed through the through hole of the reinforcing plate, and the user can take out the filter 14 through the through hole to clean the sundries in the filter 14.

[0057] The reinforcing plate and the cabinet 120 can have a gap therebetween, and the mounting box 13 can be arranged between the reinforcing plate and the cabinet 120 to form an operation channel between the operation hole 140 and the filter 14, so as to avoid sundries from entering the cabinet 120 through the gap between the reinforcing plate and the cabinet 120. Of course, the filter 14 can also be connected with the mounting box 13, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0058] The mounting box 13 is clamped with the cabinet 120 or the cabinet reinforcing member 150. The mounting box 13 can be clamped on the front panel 121 through a buckle, and the buckle can be located on the inner wall of the front panel 121, that is, the buckle connection structure is hidden. By clamping the mounting box 13 with the front panel 121, the assembly convenience of the mounting box 13 is improved, and then the assembly of the manual unlocking piece 220 and the fastener 230 is facilitated. Alternatively, the mounting box 13 can also be clamped on the reinforcing plate through a buckle to improve the structural stability after mounting. Of course, the mounting box 13 and the cabinet 120 or the cabinet reinforcing member 150 can be connected through bonding, welding, riveting, threaded connection and the like, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0059] In some embodiments, the fastener 230 is fixedly connected with the mounting box 13 in a detachable or transformable state to form the fixation and loosening of the manual unlocking piece 220. By fixing the fastener 230 through the mounting box 13, the original structural member of the clothes treatment apparatus 10 is utilized, and no new structural member is arranged, thereby reducing the production cost and improving the equipment integration.

[0060] The fastener 230 can be threadedly connected with the mounting box 13. By threadedly connecting the fastener 230 with the mounting box 13, the installation and disassembly of the fastener 230 are facilitated, and the fixing reliability of the manual unlocking piece 220 can be improved. Of course, the fastener 230 can also be detachably connected with the mounting box 13 through clamping, buckling connection or the like, and the present disclosure does not limit this. When the fastener 230 is a buckle or a lock, it has a buckled state and an open state. In the buckled state, the manual unlocking piece 220 is fixed or limited. In the open state, the manual unlocking piece 220 is released. The fastener 230 realizes the fixing and release of the manual unlocking piece 220 by changing the state.

[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the manual unlocking piece 220 can be a pull rod. The first end 2210 of the pull rod is connected with the door lock body 210, and the second end 2220 extends into the mounting box 13.

[0062] When the fastener 230 is threadedly connected with the mounting box 13, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the fastener 230 can be a screw. The mounting box 13 is provided with a screw column 137, and the manual unlocking piece 220 is provided with a through hole 2230. The screw is threadedly connected with the screw column 137 through the through hole 2230 on the manual unlocking piece 220, so as to fix the manual unlocking piece 220 on the screw column 137.

[0063] Specifically, the manual unlocking piece 220 can be located on the end surface of the screw column 137, that is, the diameter of the through hole 2230 of the manual unlocking piece 220 can be smaller than the diameter of the screw column 137, the screw is screwed with the screw column 137 through the through hole 2230, and the manual unlocking piece 220 is clamped and fixed between the screw column 137 and the screw. As can be seen, by arranging the screw column 137 to cooperate with the screw, the screw column 137 forms support for the manual unlocking piece 220, so that the manual unlocking piece 220 can be in a flat state, avoiding bending and even breaking of the manual unlocking piece 220 under stress, and improving the reliability of fixing the manual unlocking piece 220. In addition, by arranging the screw column 137, a gap can be formed between the second end 2220 of the manual unlocking piece 220 and the bottom of the mounting box 13, so as to facilitate the user to hold the end of the manual unlocking piece 220 when pulling the manual unlocking piece 220. It can be understood that the diameter of the through hole 2230 of the manual unlocking piece 220 can also be greater than the diameter of the screw column 137, so that the manual unlocking piece 220 can be sleeved on the screw column 137 through the through hole 2230, and the screw is screwed with the screw column 137 to limit the manual unlocking piece 220 on the screw column 137. At this time, the size of the nut on the screw is greater than the size of the through hole 2230, so that the nut of the screw forms a limit for the manual unlocking piece 220 to exit from the screw column 137, for example, the diameter of the nut is greater than the diameter of the through hole 2230. The through hole 2230 can be an elongated waist round hole extending along the extension direction of the fastener 230, which is beneficial to sleeving the manual unlocking piece 220 on the screw column 137 through the through hole 2230.

[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the mounting box 13 is provided with a limiting hole 136, the second end 2220 of the manual unlocking piece 220 extends into the mounting box 13 through the limiting hole 136, and the limiting hole 136 is configured to limit the movement distance of the manual unlocking piece 220 in the width direction and the thickness direction. By arranging the limiting hole 136, the movement distance of the manual unlocking piece 220 in the width direction and the thickness direction is limited while meeting the condition that the manual unlocking piece 220 extends from the outside to the inside of the mounting box 13, which is beneficial to the movement of the pull rod in the length direction by pulling to achieve unlocking, and avoids affecting the unlocking effect when the pull rod moves too much in the width direction and the thickness direction.

[0065] The size of the limiting hole 136 in the width direction and the thickness direction of the manual unlocking piece 220 matches the width and thickness of the manual unlocking piece 220, so that the gap between the limiting hole 136 and the manual unlocking piece 220 in the width direction and the thickness direction is small, and the movement distance of the manual unlocking piece 220 in the width direction and the thickness direction is realized through the small gap; under the condition that the size of the limiting hole 136 does not affect the assembly and unlocking of the manual unlocking piece 220, the smaller the gap between the limiting hole 136 and the manual unlocking piece 220 in the width direction and the thickness direction, the more the movement of the manual unlocking piece 220 in the non-unlocking direction can be avoided, for example, the gap can be less than 5mm, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0066] In some embodiments, one of the mounting box 13 and the manual unlocking piece 220 is provided with a sliding block, and the other is provided with a sliding groove; the sliding direction of the sliding block in the sliding groove is substantially parallel to the direction in which the first end 2210 points to the second end 2220.
