For example, referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the light-transmitting belt region 1b penetrates through the front door 1 along the thickness direction of the front door 1, that is, the light-transmitting belt region 1b is in a slit shape, the light guide 22 is inserted into the light-transmitting belt region 1b, the light-emitting portion of the light guide 22 is exposed to the outer side of the front door 1, and the light emitted from the light guide 22 can be projected to the outside of the clothing processing apparatus in a straight line. Therefore, a transparent film does not need to be arranged at the transparent belt area 1b of the front sealing door 1, the manufacturing process difficulty and the assembling process are reduced, and the loss of light energy can also be reduced.

Referring to fig. 4, the front door assembly 100 includes a sealing ring 4, the sealing ring 4 is disposed around the gap, and the sealing ring 4 is sealingly sandwiched between the inner surface of the front door 1 and the light guide 22. The sealing ring 4 can seal the gap between the inner surface of the front sealing door 1 and the light guide member 22, so that liquid such as water, laundry detergent and the like is prevented from flowing to the light-transmitting belt region 1b along the outer surface of the front sealing door 1 and permeating into the lamp belt device 2, and the short circuit of the lamp belt device 2 is prevented.

The shape of the sealing ring 4 is adapted to the shape of the light-transmitting band 1b. The material of the seal ring 4 is not limited, and any conventional sealing material, such as silicone rubber, etc., may be used.

The specific structure of the light guide 22 is not limited. For example, referring to fig. 7 and 8, the light guide 22 includes a support plate 222 and a light guide pillar 221 disposed on the support plate 222, the light strip 21 is located at an end of the light guide pillar 221 away from the light transmitting strip region 1b, and the light guide pillar 221 guides light emitted from the light strip 21 to the outside of the front-sealed door 1. The support plate 222 provides a mounting and support location for the light guide 221. The light guide 22 is directly or indirectly mounted to the reinforcing plate 3 through the bracket plate 222.

The gasket 4 is interposed between the holder plate 222 and the inner surface of the front door 1.

The support plate 222 and the light guide pillar 221 may be integrally formed plastic, and the specific material of the light guide 22 is not limited, for example, polymethyl methacrylate, polystyrene, polycarbonate, etc.

For example, referring to fig. 8, the light path propagation direction of the light guide pillar 221 is substantially perpendicular to the support plate 222, and two opposite ends of the light guide pillar 221 protrude out of the surface of the support plate 222. Specifically, the light guide bar 221 includes an incident light section 2211 and an emergent light section 2212, the incident light section 2211 protrudes out of one side of the support plate 222 facing the light strip 21, and the emergent light section 2212 protrudes out of one side of the support plate 222 facing the light strip 1b.

It should be noted that the end surface of the light incident section 2211 is the light incident surface 221a, and the end surface of the light emergent section 2212 is the light emergent surface 221b. The light emitted from the light strip 21 enters the light entrance section 2211 from the light entrance surface 221a, propagates from the light entrance section 2211 to the light exit section 2212, and exits from the light exit surface 221b.

For example, referring to fig. 8, along the light path propagation direction of the light guide 22, the light-passing area of the light-entering section 2211 gradually increases, so that the light-entering section 2211 can diffuse the light entering the light-entering section, so that the light emitted from the light-emitting surface 221b of the light-emitting section 2212 is softer.

For example, referring to fig. 8, the cross-sectional shape of the light entrance segment 2211 is substantially trapezoidal, and both the top surface 221c and the bottom surface 221d of the light entrance segment 2211 are inclined surfaces, and the distance between the top surface 221c and the bottom surface 221d of the light entrance segment 2211 gradually increases along the light path propagation direction of the light guide 22, so that the light-passing area of the light entrance segment 2211 gradually increases.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 8, the angle θ between the top surface 221c of the light entrance section 2211 and the horizontal plane is greater than 0 ° and less than 10 °, and the angle β between the bottom surface 221d of the light entrance section 2211 and the horizontal plane is greater than 0 ° and less than 10 °, which can achieve both light diffusion and overall size compactness.

For example, referring to fig. 6, the light strip device 2 includes an adapter 24, the support plate 222 and the light strip 21 are both disposed on the adapter 24, the light guide member 22 is connected to the adapter 24 through the support plate 222, and the light strip device 2 is detachably connected to the reinforcing plate 3 through the adapter 24. In the assembling process, the lamp belt device 2 can be assembled into a preassembled whole, and the preassembled whole is assembled on the reinforcing plate 3 through the adapter 24, so that the assembling time of the water flow line can be prolonged, and the assembling efficiency can be improved; when the adapter 24 needs to be detached, the adapter only needs to be detached from the reinforcing plate 3, and the operation is simple and convenient.

For example, referring to fig. 4 and 10, the adaptor 24 is provided with a plug-in groove 241a, and two opposite sides of the plug-in groove 241a are open, specifically, two opposite sides of the plug-in groove 241a along the light path propagation direction of the light guide pillar 221 are open. The light inlet section 2211 is inserted into the insertion groove 241a from an opening of one side of the insertion groove 241a, that is, the light guide 22 is substantially located between the adaptor 24 and the front sealing door 1 in the front and rear direction of the laundry treating apparatus. The light strip 21 covers the opening at the other side of the jack 241a. It will be appreciated that the adapter 24 is made of a material that is opaque to light. Light emitted from the light strip 21 enters the insertion groove 241a and enters the light entrance section 2211 of the light guide pole 221. It should be noted that, the light-emitting position of the light strip 21 is located in the region defined on the light strip 21 at the opening of the insertion groove 241a, so that the light emitted from the light strip 21 basically enters only the insertion groove 241a and enters the light guide member 22, thereby improving the light utilization rate.

Illustratively, the light strip 21 is formed by assembling LED lamps on a strip-shaped flexible wiring board. The LED lamp is located on one side of the flexible circuit board facing the light guiding pole 221, and the LED lamp is located in the area defined on the light strip 21 at the opening of the insertion groove 241a. The flexible printed circuit board is connected to the adapter 24 in an unlimited manner, for example, by being fixed on the adapter 24 by glue filling.

The specific configuration of the adapter 24 is not limited. For example, referring to fig. 6, 9 and 10, the adaptor 24 includes a box portion 241, one side of the box portion 241 facing away from the front sealing door 1 is open, the light strip 21 is disposed in the box portion 241, and the box portion 241 protects the light strip 21. A side wall 2412 of the case portion 241 on the side close to the front cover door 1 is formed with a plugging groove 241a.

The specific connection manner of the bracket plate 222 and the adapter 24 is not limited.
