Description

Clothes treatment equipment

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of clothes treatment, and particularly relates to a clothes treatment device.

Background

In the prior art, a sealing mode between a dryer door and a dryer drum is that a hollow sealing strip is installed in an installation groove of a dryer front support. When the machine door is closed by the clothes dryer, the inner frame plane of the machine door of the clothes dryer extrudes the hollow sealing strip, the hollow sealing strip and the contact surface of the hollow sealing strip are always in close contact to form sealing, the hollow sealing strip is extruded and deformed more and more as the door closing angle is gradually reduced in the door closing process, the air in the hollow sealing strip can be extruded, the hollow sealing strip is extruded to the maximum deformation amount when the machine door is closed to the final position, and the door closing angle at the moment is called as a 0-degree angle.

But when the dryer is closing the door, especially when using the lock that can push away the bullet and open the door, require the aircraft door angle of closing the door to exceed 0 degree angle when closing the door, the purpose is in order to overcome the inside spring force of lock, make the lock spring bolt reach the rotation angle of locking the door, later the user withdraws the power of closing the door, the aircraft door is pushed back to 0 degree angle under the effect of lock spring force, because the periphery of sealing strip can not be fixed on the front bezel, the sealing strip can throw in mouthful inside upset to the clothing when leading to closing the door, can influence the leakproofness of sealing strip, cause the bad problem of door body leakproofness.

The present invention has been made in view of this situation.
