The base 61 has an accommodating chamber 61a for accommodating the cleaning robot 90. The base 10 provides an installation space for the base 61.

The embodiment of the application provides a clothes treatment device, which comprises a clothes treatment machine and a base assembly 60 of any embodiment of the application, wherein the base assembly 60 is positioned below the clothes treatment machine, and the base provides structural support for the clothes treatment machine. In particular, the laundry treating machine is supported on a structural support assembly. That is, the structural support assembly is a stressed member capable of carrying the weight of the laundry treating machine and its load.

Laundry treating machines may include various forms such as washing machines, spin dryers, washing and drying machines, and the like. The specific application scenario of the laundry treating machine is not limited to the structure of the base assembly 60 of the present invention.

According to the clothes treatment equipment provided by the embodiment of the application, the base assembly 60 is integrated below the clothes treatment machine, on one hand, the cleaning robot 90 can be accommodated in the space below the clothes treatment machine, and the indoor space occupied by the cleaning robot 90 is reduced; on the other hand, the clothes processor is arranged near the water tap and the floor drain, so that water inlet and water discharge are facilitated, the base assembly 60 is facilitated through the existing convenience of water inlet and water discharge of the clothes processor, and the problem of a water inlet and water discharge waterway of the base assembly 60 is solved.

The cleaning robot 90 may be used to automatically clean dust, hair, etc. on the floor, and in the case where the cleaning robot 90 is provided with a mop, the cleaning robot 90 may perform a floor mopping operation on the floor after cleaning the floor.

The functions of the base assembly in the embodiment of the present application include at least one of charging, dust removal, cleaning, drying, and sterilization of the cleaning robot 90.

Illustratively, the cleaning robot 90 includes a first communication module, the base assembly 60 includes a second communication module, and communication between the cleaning robot 90 and the base assembly 60 can be performed through the first communication module and the second communication module. For example, when the cleaning robot 90 needs to discharge dust or charge electricity, it can perform wireless communication through the first communication module and the second communication module, so as to return to the accommodating chamber 61a by itself.

Illustratively, the first communication module and the second communication module may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a bluetooth module, a Wireless Fidelity (WIFI) module, a fourth or fifth Generation (4th Generation/5th Generation, 4G/5G) communication module, or an infrared module.

Illustratively, the base assembly is used for at least one of charging, discharging dust, and cleaning the mop of the cleaning robot 90 parked in the accommodating chamber 61 a.

Referring to fig. 12, 13 and 14, the bottom plate assembly 1 includes a substrate 11, and the base 61 is disposed on the substrate 11. The base 11 plays a role of supporting the base 61 and the cleaning robot parked in the accommodation chamber 61 a.

Referring to fig. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7, at least a portion of the base 11 is recessed downward and forms a sunken carrying area 111 for carrying the base 61, and the base 61 is placed on the sunken carrying area 111, that is, the base 11 carries the weight of the base 61 and the cleaning robot parked in the accommodating chamber 61a through the sunken carrying area 111.

It should be noted that the base 11 may be a plate structure alone, or may be a combination of a plate and a support beam. In the present embodiment, the substrate 11 is described as a plate structure.

The front edge of sinker bearing zone 111 extends to doorway 10b, sinker bearing zone 111 extends to the front edge of base 11, and the front side of sinker bearing zone 111 is free of non-recessed area 112.

In the base 10 of the embodiment of the application, the sinking design of the sinking bearing area 111 can play a role in enhancing the structural strength and rigidity of the substrate 11; in addition, the height from the ground of the sinking bearing area 111 is smaller than that of the non-depressed area 112, so that the climbing height of the cleaning robot 90 when returning to the base 61 is reduced, and the cleaning robot 90 can return to the base 61 conveniently.

Referring to fig. 12, 13 and 14, a ramp plate 63 is provided at a front end of a bottom wall of the base 61, and the ramp plate 63 guides the cleaning robot 90 into and out of the storage space. The ramp 63 has a slope requirement that meets a prescribed range of slopes.

The base 10 of the embodiment of the application sinks the bearing area 111 and reduces the installation height of the bottom wall of the base 61, further reduces the climbing height of the cleaning robot, and can shorten the length of the climbing plate 63 in the front-back direction under the condition that the gradient of the climbing plate 63 is not changed, so that the climbing plate 63 cannot exceed the front side profile of the box body 70 of the clothes processor. That is, the ascending plate 63 does not exceed the projection range of the cabinet 70 of the laundry machine in the horizontal plane projection from the upper side to the lower side of the laundry treatment apparatus.

It should be noted that the sinking carrier region 111 is formed in an unlimited manner, for example, the sinking carrier region 111 is stamped out from a metal plate by a stamping process. The non-recessed area 112 is an un-stamped and un-bent portion of the metal plate.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 1 and 12, the base 10 includes a plurality of feet 3 disposed below the substrate 11, each foot 3 being connected to a non-recessed area 112 of the substrate 11.

The entire laundry treating apparatus is supported on the ground by the respective footings 3, that is, the respective footings 3 need to bear the weight of the entire laundry treating apparatus and its load.

The foot 3 may be a fixed foot, or may be an adjustable foot with adjustable supporting height, which is not limited herein.

It will be appreciated that the space between the base and the ground is fully utilized since the footing 3 has a certain support height and the sunken bearing zone 111 is arranged within the support height of the footing 3.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 5 and 8, the sinking bearer 111 includes a first sub-zone 111' and a second sub-zone 111 "connected to each other, and the second sub-zone 111" is located at the rear side of the first sub-zone 111', that is, the first sub-zone 111' and the second sub-zone 111 "are arranged side by side along the front-rear direction.

For example, in fig. 5 and 8, the positions of the sinking bearer 111 within the two dashed boxes are the first sub-zone 111' and the second sub-zone 111 ″, respectively.

Referring to fig. 5, the recess depth of the first sub-region 111' is greater than the recess depth of the second sub-region 111 ″. That is, the sinking carriage 111 has a greater depth of depression near the front side than near the rear side, and thus, can serve to reinforce the structural strength and rigidity at the front end of the sinking carriage 111.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 5 and 8, a portion of the first sub-area 111' protrudes upward to form a portion of the reinforcing rib 1112; a part of the second sub-area 111 ″ is protruded upward to form another part of the reinforcing rib 1113.

Referring to fig. 5, the height of the reinforcing ribs 1112 in the first sub-area 111' is higher than the height of the reinforcing ribs 1113 in the second sub-area 111 ″. That is, the one or more reinforcing ribs 1112 near the front side adopt a raised design, and the use of the raised reinforcing ribs 1112 can further improve the structural strength and rigidity of the front end of the sunken bearing zone 111.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5 and 7, the front edge of the sinking carrier section 111 has a turned-up flap 1111, and the flap 1111 can enhance the structural strength and rigidity of the front edge of the sinking carrier section 111 and reduce the possibility of cracking of the substrate 11.

Illustratively, the cuff 1111 is located at the top edge of the ramp plate 63 within the mounting width at a height lower than the non-recessed area 112 of the base 11. The installation width of the slope plate 63 refers to the dimension of the slope plate 63 in the left-right direction. The flanging 1111 not only increases the structural strength, but also does not significantly affect the installation height of the climbing plate 63.

Note that opposite ends of the cuffs 1111 in the left-right direction are connected to a non-depressed region or other portions, such as a first cuff described below, so that the cuffs 1111 serve to reinforce the structural strength and rigidity at the front edge of the sinking carriage 111.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 5 and 7, portions of sunken bearing region 111 project upwardly to form reinforcing

ribs

1112, 1113. The reinforcing

ribs

1112, 1113 can serve to enhance the structural strength and rigidity of the sunken bearing zone 111.

In addition, the reinforcing

ribs

1112 and 1113 are formed by locally protruding upward the sinking carriage area 111, so the reinforcing

ribs

1112 and 1113 do not affect the height of the sinking carriage area 111 from the ground.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 5, 7, and 8, the reinforcing

ribs

1112, 1113 are arranged in the left-right direction. Since the cleaning robot 90 moves in the forward and backward direction both when it comes to the station and when it comes out of the station, the reinforcing

ribs

1112 and 1113 are arranged in the left and right direction to better reinforce the structural strength and rigidity.

The number of the reinforcing

ribs

1112 and 1113 may be one or more.

Illustratively, the number of the reinforcing

ribs

1112, 1113 is plural, and the

plural reinforcing ribs

1112, 1113 are arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 5 and 7, the height of one or more of the reinforcing ribs 1112 near the front side is higher than the height of the remaining reinforcing ribs 1113, that is, the height of one or more of the reinforcing ribs 1112 near the front side is increased.

The use of the increased reinforcement ribs 1112 further increases the structural strength of the forward end of the sunken bearing zone 111.

For example, in some embodiments, the reinforcing ribs 1112 in an added design are located in the first sub-area 111', and the remaining reinforcing ribs 1113 are located in the second sub-area 111 ".

In one embodiment, the total number of the reinforcing

ribs

1112 and 1113 is six, wherein the two reinforcing ribs 1112 on the front side are designed to be raised, and the height of the four reinforcing ribs 1113 on the rear side is smaller than the height of the two reinforcing ribs 1112 on the front side.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 5, the height of the reinforcing rib 1112 adopting the heightened design is not lower than the height of the top edge of the flange 1111 within the installation width range of the ramp plate 63, and for example, may be flush, or the height of the top edge of the flange 1111 within the installation width range of the ramp plate 63 may be lower. Therefore, the climbing plate 63 can conveniently avoid the flanging 1111.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 8, the region of the front edge of the sinking carrying area 111 within the installation width range of the climbing plate 63 is retracted inward, and the retracted structural design can further enhance the structural strength of the base 11 and avoid the climbing plate 63, so that the climbing plate 63 can be arranged as close to the inside as possible on the premise of meeting the requirement of climbing slope, and the climbing plate 63 is prevented from additionally increasing the overall size of the laundry processing apparatus along the front-rear direction.

For example, referring to fig. 12, 13 and 14, the base 61 includes the dust box 611 disposed at the right side of the accommodating cavity 61a, and the flange 1111 is configured to be locally increased corresponding to a portion below the dust box 611, and specifically, since the flange 1111 does not need to be moved into or out of the accommodating cavity 61a from the cleaning robot 90 corresponding to the portion below the dust box 611, the height of the flange 1111 at the portion below the dust box 611 is higher, so as to further enhance the structural strength of the bottom plate assembly 1.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 1, the base 10 includes a cover plate 5, and the cover plate 5 is disposed on the top side of the structural support assembly and covers the receiving space 10 a. When the clothes processor has water leakage, water seepage and other accidents, the dripped water is blocked by the covering plate 5, the covering plate 5 plays a role in waterproof protection for each part on the base 61, and the structural strength of the structural support assembly can be enhanced.

In some embodiments, the covering plate 5 is provided with a drainage port for guiding the water liquid accumulated on the covering plate 5 to the drainage area of the base assembly 60, and the water liquid can be drained in a concentrated manner through the drainage channel of the base assembly 60, so that the water accumulated on the covering plate 5 is drained in time, and the water liquid on the covering plate 5 is prevented from being too much and causing the water liquid to spread to the indoor floor.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, the structure supporting assembly includes a plurality of support pillars 2, each support pillar 2 having a bottom end supported in a non-recessed region 112 of the substrate 11.

The respective support columns 2 are commonly stressed, the weight of the laundry treating machine is transmitted to the respective support columns 2, and the respective support columns 2 transmit the acting force received by them to the feet 3.

Illustratively, a foot 3 is arranged below each supporting column 2, and the force-bearing directions of the supporting column 2 and the foot 3 are approximately on the same vertical line, so that no additional bending moment is generated between the supporting column 2 and the foot 3, and the substrate 11 is not subjected to shear force due to the bending moment, thus the force-bearing condition of the substrate 11 can be improved, and the requirements on the thickness of the substrate 11 and the performance of shear force resistance are reduced.

Illustratively, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the supporting columns 2 is four, and the number of the feet 3 is also four. In a horizontal plane projection from the upper part to the lower part of the clothes treatment equipment, the projection outline of the base 10 is roughly quadrangular, and the feet 3 and the supporting columns 2 are positioned at the corners of the projection outline of the base 10.

Illustratively, the structure supporting component also comprises a plurality of cross beams, the top ends of the supporting columns 2 are connected through the cross beams, and the cross beams can improve the structural strength and rigidity of the top ends of the supporting columns 2 and reduce the probability of transverse deflection of the cross beams.

Here, the lateral direction refers to an arbitrary direction in a horizontal plane, for example, a left-right direction, a front-back direction, and the like.

The connection mode of the beam and the support column 2 is not limited.

Illustratively, each cross member connects the top ends of the respective support posts 2. In the embodiment in which a cover plate 5 is provided, the cover plate 5 is arranged in the region enclosed by the respective cross-beam, the cover plate 5 being connected to the cross-beam.

For example, in the embodiment in which the number of the support columns 2 is four, the number of the beams is four, and the four beams are connected in sequence to substantially form a quadrangular configuration.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 7, the bottom plate assembly 1 includes a plurality of folding edge groups 113 bent upward from the edge of the non-recessed area 112, and each folding edge group 113 includes a first folding edge 1131 and a second folding edge 1132. Referring to fig. 2, the outer side of the supporting pillar 2 along the left-right direction is attached and fixedly connected to at least a partial region of the first folding edge 1131, and the outer side of the supporting pillar 2 along the front-back direction is attached and fixedly connected to at least a partial region of the second folding edge 1132.

In this embodiment, the connection mode of the hem group 113 and the supporting column 2 enhances the lateral rigidity of the supporting column 2, reduces or avoids the stress concentration at the bottom edge of the supporting column 2, and improves the connection reliability of the supporting column 2 and the bottom plate assembly 1.

For example, in an embodiment where the number of support columns 2 is four, the number of sets of folds is four, and each support column 2 is connected to a set of folds.

Specifically, in each folding group 113, the panel of the first folding edge 1131 is substantially oriented in the left-right direction, the panel of the second folding edge 1132 is substantially oriented in the front-back direction, and the first folding edge 1131 and the second folding edge 1132 are arranged at substantially 90 ° to form a right angle facing the accommodating space 10 a. The four fold groups 113 generally define four right angles, one support post 2 being mounted at each right angle.

It is understood that the angles of the first and

second flanges

1131 and 1132 may vary according to the shape of the support column 2, for example, the angles of the first and

second flanges

1131 and 1132 may range from 80 ° to 120 °.

For example, referring to fig. 7, a part of the first folding edge 1131 is recessed toward the side of the accommodating space 10a and forms an installation avoiding area 1131a, at least a partial area of the installation avoiding area 1131a is attached to the support column 2, and the fastener sequentially passes through the installation avoiding area 1131a and the support column 2.

Wherein the fastener may be a screw or a bolt.

When assembled, the nut of the fastener is located in the recessed space of the mounting relief area 1131a, so that the nut of the fastener does not protrude from the outer surface of the first folding edge 1131, and therefore, the decorative shell 62 is conveniently arranged on the outer side, and the nut of the fastener does not interfere with the decorative shell 62.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 7, the base plate assembly 1 includes a plurality of connecting flanges 114 respectively bent upward from the edges of the non-recessed area 112, two first flanges 1131 located on the same side are connected by the connecting flanges 114, and two second flanges 1132 located on the rear side are connected by another connecting flange 114.

The connecting flap 114 can improve the structural strength of the two first flaps 1131 or the two second flaps 1132 to which it is connected.

Illustratively, the first and

second flanges

1131, 1132 each have a height greater than the height of the attachment flap 114. Under the condition of meeting the structural strength, the material consumption can be reduced, and the weight of the base is lightened.

Illustratively, the floor assembly 1 is a one-piece sheet metal part. That is, a structure formed from the same metal sheet through a cold working process. For example, the structure is finally obtained after processes such as blanking, stamping, bending, and the like.
