For example, the lower portion of the outer ring plate 121 protrudes from the front surface of the door main body 11, so that the lower portion of the door body 20 forms a visual sensation of the embedded arrangement, and for example, the left portion of the outer ring plate 121 protrudes from the front surface of the door main body 11, so that the left portion of the door body 20 forms a visual sensation of the embedded arrangement, and for example, the right portion of the outer ring plate 121 protrudes from the front surface of the door main body 11, so that the right portion of the door body 20 forms a visual sensation of the embedded arrangement.

Of course, the outer ring plate 121 may protrude from the front side surface of the door sealing body 11 on the whole ring, but the protruding heights of the outer ring plate 121 at different positions relative to the door sealing body 11 are not equal, so that on the basis of ensuring that the door body 20 is embedded in the visual perception of the front door 10, the outer ring plate 121 is prevented from interfering with the door body 20 in the opening and closing process of the door body 20, and the door body 20 is ensured to be normally opened and closed.

According to the front sealing door 10 of the clothes processing device provided by the embodiment of the invention, at least one part of the outer ring plate 121 of the sealing door ring 12 protrudes out of the front side surface of the sealing door main body 11, the visual feeling that the door body 20 is embedded in the front sealing door 10 can be formed, the user can be prevented from being collided by the door body 20, the protruding height of one part of the outer ring plate 121 is higher than that of the other part of the outer ring plate 121, when the door body 20 needs to be opened, the sealing door ring 12 can be prevented from interfering with the door body 20, the normal opening and closing of the door body 20 can be realized without adopting an electric hinge, the production cost of products is reduced, and the maintenance cost of the user can be reduced.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, a portion of the outer ring plate 121 protrudes from the front side surface of the door sealing main body 11, so that a portion of the door body 20 forms a visual sense of the embedded arrangement, and the front side surface of another portion of the outer ring plate 121 is flush with the front side surface of the door sealing main body 11, so as to increase the distance between the edge of the door body 20 and the front sealing door 10 in the thickness direction of the front sealing door 10 as much as possible, thereby facilitating a user to hold a handle, and thus achieving normal opening and closing of the door body 20.

Wherein, the front side surface of the other part of the outer ring plate 121 is flush with the front side surface of the door sealing main body 11, it can be understood that if the position of the part of the front side surface of the door sealing main body 11 close to the door sealing ring 12 is a plane, the front side surface of the other part of the outer ring plate 121 also forms a plane, and the position of the part of the front side surface of the door sealing main body 11 close to the door sealing ring 12 is coplanar with the front side surface of the other part of the outer ring plate 121; if the front surface of the door body 11 near the door closing ring 12 is curved, the front surface of the other part of the outer ring plate 12 is an extended curved surface of the curved surface.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 4 to 7, the front surface of the upper portion of the outer ring plate 121 is flush with the front surface of the door sealing body 11, and the lower portion of the outer ring plate 121 protrudes from the front surface of the door sealing body 11, so that the lower portion of the door body 20 forms a visual sense of the embedded arrangement. As can be seen from the corresponding vertical sectional view in fig. 4, since the lower portion of the outer ring plate 121 is convexly disposed, the distance between the lower portion of the outer ring plate 121 and the lower edge of the door body 20 is drawn, and since the lower portion of the outer ring plate 121 wraps the lower edge of the door body 20 in the circumferential direction of the door body 20, a user visually feels that the lower portion of the door body 20 is embedded.

Further, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the left portion of the outer ring plate 121 and the right portion of the outer ring plate 121 protrude from the front side surface of the door sealing body 11, the height of the left portion of the outer ring plate 121 protruding out of the door sealing body 11 is smaller than the height of the lower portion of the outer ring plate 121 protruding out of the door sealing body 11, the height of the right portion of the outer ring plate 121 protruding out of the door sealing body 11 is smaller than the height of the lower portion of the outer ring plate 121 protruding out of the door sealing body 11, so that the left portion and the right portion of the door body 20 are embedded in the door body 20, and the door body 20 is ensured to be normally opened and closed without interfering with the outer ring plate 121 during the opening and closing process of the door body 20.

As shown in fig. 1, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the outer ring plate 121 includes a first arc section 1211 and a second arc section 1212, both ends of the second arc section 1212 are connected to both ends of the first arc section 1211, and the opening 1221 is located between the first arc section 1211 and the second arc section 1212, i.e., the first arc section 1211 and the second arc section 1212 surround the opening 1221 at different positions.

In some embodiments, the front side surface of the first arc-shaped section 1211 is flush with the front side surface of the door sealing main body 11, and the second arc-shaped section 1212 protrudes from the front side surface of the door sealing main body 11, so that the second arc-shaped section 1212 wraps a part of the edge of the door body 20, thereby forming a visual perception that the door body 20 is partially embedded.

In some embodiments, the first arc section 1211 protrudes from the front side surface of the door sealing main body 11, and the height of the second arc section 1212 protruding from the front side surface of the door sealing main body 11 is higher than the height of the first arc section 1211 protruding from the front side surface of the door sealing main body 11, so that the first arc section 1211 and the second arc section 1212 both wrap the edge of the door body 20, thereby forming a visual perception that the door body 20 is completely embedded.

Here, the first arc section 1211 and the second arc section 1212 may be arranged in the up-down direction, and the first arc section 1211 may be disposed above the second arc section 1212, and of course, the first arc section 1211 and the second arc section 1212 may also be arranged in the left-right direction, and the first arc section 1211 is disposed at the left side or the right side of the second arc section 1212. It should be noted that the arrangement of the first arc-shaped section 1211 and the second arc-shaped section 1212 is not limited to the above-mentioned manner, and may be specifically adjusted according to the door opening direction of the door body 20.

In some embodiments, outer ring plate 121 further includes two transition segments 1213, wherein one end of one transition segment 1213 is connected to one end of first segment 1211, the other end of transition segment 1213 is connected to one end of second segment 1212, wherein one end of the other transition segment 1213 is connected to the other end of first segment 1211, and the other end of transition segment 1213 is connected to the other end of second segment 1212, whereby first segment 1211, second segment 1212, and two transition segments 121 are connected end-to-end to form a closed ring around opening 1221.

The curvature radius of the inner contour of the second arc segment 1212 is greater than the curvature radius of the inner contour of the first arc segment 1211, and the curvature radius of the inner contour of the transition arc segment 1213 is gradually increased from the first arc segment 1211 to the second arc segment 1212, so that the range of the installation area of the hinge 22 of the door body 20 can be enlarged, and the door body 20 is prevented from interfering with the outer ring plate 121 in the opening and closing processes.

It should be noted that, the above-mentioned "the curvature radius of the inner contour line of the transition arc section 1213 gradually increases from the first arc section 1211 to the second arc section 1212" may be understood that the transition arc section 1213 includes a plurality of circular arcs, the plurality of circular arcs are sequentially connected between the first arc section 1211 and the second arc section 1212, in the plurality of circular arcs, the curvature radius of the circular arc close to the second arc section 1212 is larger, the curvature radius of the circular arc close to the first arc section 1211 is smaller, and the curvature radii of the plurality of circular arcs sequentially increase from the second arc section 1212 to the first arc section 1211.

In some examples, the door sealing ring 12 has a mounting portion 1222, the mounting portion 1222 is used for mounting the hinge 22 of the door body, the mounting portion 1222 is located at the inner side of the outer ring plate 121, and the mounting portion 1222 of the hinge 22 corresponds to the position of the transition arc 1213. Since the radius of curvature of the inner contour of the transition arc 1213 is set to be gradually increased from the first arc 1211 to the second arc 1212, the range of the installation area of the hinge 22 can be increased, and therefore, the installation portion 1222 of the hinge 22 is set at the above position, and the door 20 can be prevented from interfering with the outer ring plate 121 during the opening and closing process.

In some embodiments, both ends of the second arc segment 1212 are directly connected to both ends of the first arc segment 1211, and the width of the second arc segment 1212 gradually decreases from the middle portion thereof to the first arc segment 1211, that is, the second arc segment 121 forms an arc shape extending along the circumferential direction of the opening 1221, the width of the middle portion of the second arc segment 1212 is the largest, and the width of both ends of the second arc segment 1212 is the smallest. The width of the second arc segment 1212 is set to be the middle width and the two ends are narrow, so that the door body 20 can be prevented from interfering with the outer ring plate 121 in the opening and closing process, the second arc segment 1212 is arranged in a protruding manner relative to the door sealing main body 11, the second arc segment 121 can be prevented from being too abrupt relative to the door sealing main body 11 in the visual sense, and the visual sense of the door body 20 embedded in the front door sealing 10 can be enhanced.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in other embodiments, two ends of the second arc segment 1212 are directly connected to two ends of the first arc segment 1211, and a height of the second arc segment 1212 protruding from the front side surface of the door sealing main body 11 gradually decreases from the middle portion to the first arc segment 1211, that is, the second arc segment 121 forms an arc extending along the circumferential direction of the opening 1221, the protruding height of the middle portion of the second arc segment 1212 is the largest, and the protruding heights of the two ends of the second arc segment 1212 are the smallest. The protruding height of the second arc segment 1212 is set to be large in the middle and small at the two ends, so that the door body 20 can be prevented from interfering with the outer ring plate 121 in the opening and closing process, the second arc segment 1212 is enabled to protrude smoothly relative to the door sealing main body 11, the second arc segment 121 can be prevented from being too protruding relative to the door sealing main body 11 in the visual sense, and the visual sense that the door body 20 is embedded into the front door sealing body 10 can be enhanced.

In some embodiments, the distance between the middle of the inner edge of the first arc section 1211 and the center of the opening 1221 is less than the distance between the middle of the inner edge of the second arc section 1212 and the center of the opening 1221.
