The rear roller 1 is directly and completely dropped into the groove 23 to be suspended, and the supporting component 31 completely bears the gravity of the working component 3, and the rear roller 1 is provided with an elastic structure, as shown in fig. 16, an elastic piece such as a spring is arranged above the rear roller 1, so that the rear roller 1 can still play a certain supporting role after being attached to the bottom surface of the groove 23, and the supporting component 31 plays a role in supporting the gravity of the rest working component 3.

In the above-described preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, the supporting position of the supporting member 31 may be, as shown in fig. 2, 6-8, and 11, the supporting position may be on the convex guide blocks 21 on both sides of the slide rail 2, and the supporting position may abut against the convex guide blocks 21 to transfer the force to the slide rail 2. Of course, it may be disposed offset from the slide rail 2 and directly conducted to the bottom surface of the cabinet 7 (this solution is not shown in the drawings), or may be directly conducted to the ground or the mounting table (this solution is not shown in the drawings) if the laundry treating apparatus does not have the cabinet 7.

Through the structural design, the rear roller 1 falls into the groove 23 after the working part 3 is pulled out to put clothes into the working position and pushed back to the working position, so that the supporting part 31 supports most of force, the rear roller 1 does not bear eccentric force of the washing machine in the washing vibration process, namely, the rear roller 1 does not bear horizontal force and is born by the supporting part 31, thereby greatly prolonging the service life of the rear roller 1, and the washing machine can realize more stable and firm support due to the existence of the supporting part 31 in the washing process, reduce the vibration frequency of the washing machine and reduce the integral vibration noise of the clothes treatment equipment, preferably, the supporting part 31 is a supporting block shown in fig. 7, the bottom surface of the supporting part can be set to be a surface with larger friction coefficient or integrally set to be made of a material with larger friction force such as rubber, and the like, so that the slipping or vibration displacement of the supporting part 31 is further avoided.

Preferably, in the first embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the laundry treating apparatus of the present invention is further provided with a front roller 4, the front roller 4 is disposed at the front side of the working member 3, and the front roller 4 is disposed to be able to be abutted against the ground to achieve the support of the front end during the drawing, so that the whole structure is not completely finished depending on the slide rail, and a part of force can be split out to the front roller 4.

In the first embodiment, as shown in fig. 8 and 14, a damping device 5 is further disposed at the rear side of the rear roller 1, and the damping device 5 is preferably a spring, but may also be other damping structures, such as a damping rod, an elastic block, or the like, so as to avoid the situation that the rear roller 1 is pulled out of the groove to move backwards and collide with the case 7 due to excessive force after pushing.

In the first embodiment, as shown in fig. 14, the inner side of the groove 23 is further provided with a sensor 6 capable of detecting whether the rear roller 1 is stopped in place, preferably, the up-down telescopic structure of the rear roller 1 not only can provide a part of supporting force as described above, but also can enable the rear roller 1 not to be suspended, at least partially support against the sensor 6, so that the condition that the sensor 6 cannot detect is avoided, the detection precision of the sensor 6 is improved, and when the clothes treatment device detects that the working part 3 is installed in place, the step of executing clothes treatment is started again, so that accidents are avoided.

In the first embodiment, as shown in fig. 15, the working member 3 is further provided with a male buckle 32, the laundry treating apparatus further includes a case 7, a clamping groove 71 matching with the buckle 32 is provided on the case 7, and the buckle 32 is provided to be movable toward the clamping groove 71 during the process of the working member 3 entering the working position, and is inserted into the clamping groove 71 after the working member 3 enters the working position. The plug-in type clamping scheme is very suitable for the scheme of the invention, so that the invention can push into a working position to realize locking, the unlocking function is realized in the process of pulling out the handle, the push-pull action is matched with the opening and closing of the lock, and the opening and closing actions of the door, the pulling out action and the pushing in action can be realized by a user only by one action.

In the first embodiment, as shown in fig. 9, the sliding rail 2 may be parallel to the horizontal plane, and after the working member 3 is pushed in, a certain inclination may be formed due to the rear roller 1 entering the groove 23, but this is still within the allowable range of the working state of the working member 3 according to the present invention, and the working member can still work normally.

Embodiment two:

the second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment in its entirety, and is different in that, correspondingly to the first embodiment, in order to achieve the stable support of the working member 3 and also achieve the horizontal placement of the working member 3, as shown in fig. 10, in a more preferred embodiment, the operation side of the laundry treatment apparatus is the front side, and there is a height difference between the front side and the rear side of the second moving member (the sliding rail 2), preferably, the rear side is higher than the front side, and by the design of the height difference, the working member 3 can have a suitable climbing action during the pushing process, and then after the rear roller 1 falls into the groove 23, the overall leveling of the working member 3 can be achieved, so that the working state of the working member 3 is more stable, the service life is longer, and the washing water is less likely to splash out during the working process.
