Detailed Description

To make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below, but not to limit the scope of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, in the present embodiment, the clothing care apparatus has a main body 1, and a cover assembly 2 is provided on a front panel 3 of the main body 1, and the cover assembly 2 is used for opening and closing an access opening. The service opening may be an opening for servicing or performing a specific operation on the laundry care machine, for example, a cover, a drain pipe, and/or a forced door opening device of a drain pump of a washing machine, and/or an air inlet and a filter screen, etc. may be disposed in the service opening. The access opening and cover assembly 2 may also be located at other convenient locations on the housing as desired.

In this embodiment, the cover assembly 2 includes a cover 4 and a joint 5, the cover 4 and the joint 5 are connected by a rotating shaft 8, and the cover 4 can be rotated and opened around the rotating shaft 8. The joint 5 is provided with a channel corresponding to the opening of the access hole and is connected with the machine body 1 by adopting a mechanical structure, such as a fastener connection, and the like, and the joint 5 can also be provided with a rotating shaft mounting seat 9 matched with the rotating shaft 8 so as to be rotatably connected with the cover body 4.

The cover body 4 is provided with a buckle 7, the joint part 5 is provided with a door lock 6 matched with the buckle 7, and the cover body 4 is pressed, so that the buckle 7 on the cover body 4 pushes and presses an elastic element in the door lock 6, and locking and unlocking of the door lock 6 are realized.

An elastic positioning element 10 is provided on at least one of the engaging element 5 and the cover 4, for example: at the surface of the cover 4 facing the engaging member 5 and/or at the flange surface of the engaging member 5 facing the cover 4.

When the lid 4 is pressed, the elastic positioning portion 10 is press-deformed to provide a displacement stroke required for the catch 7 to press the door lock 6, and when the lid 4 is locked, the elastic positioning portion 10 abuts the other of the engaging piece 5 and the lid 4. The elastic positioning portion 10 supports and positions the cover 4, which is beneficial to preventing the cover 4 from shaking after locking and locking.

The elastic positioning piece 10 can be at least two, and at least two elastic positioning parts 10 are symmetrically distributed relative to the door lock. With this arrangement, the supporting force of the lid body 4 is facilitated to be uniform and stable.

One end of the elastic positioning portion 10 may be fixedly connected to one of the engaging member 5 and the cover 4, and the other end is a free end. The free end may be supported on the other of the engagement member 5 and the cover 4 when the cover 4 is locked with the engagement member 5.

The elastic positioning portion 10 may include a fixing portion 11 fixedly connected with the joint, and a cantilever portion 12 formed to extend from the fixing portion 11. The formation of the cantilever portion 12 facilitates the elastic positioning portion 10 to be pushed and deformed, and the requirement of the pressing stroke can be more easily satisfied.

The other of the cover 4 and the engaging piece 5 may be provided with a boss 14 that abuts against the cantilever portion 12 when the cover 4 is locked. The height of the boss may be designed according to the height of the front panel 3 relative to the joint. For example, in some specific cases, when the front panel 3 has a curvature and is fixedly connected with the joint 5 to form a certain angle, the boss on one side close to the center of the machine body 1 relative to the door lock 6 is higher than the boss on the other side, so that the cover body is flush with the front panel, which is beneficial to the appearance of the clothes care machine.

When the cover 4 is locked, the boss 14 abuts against the cantilever part 12, and the tail end of the cantilever part 12 is provided with a bulge 15 facing the boss 14. The protrusion 15 is beneficial to limiting the boss 14 when thrust is applied to the boss 14.

When the door is unlocked, the elastic positioning piece 10 contacts the boss 14 to serve as a supporting structure, and meanwhile, the rotating shaft 8 and the door lock 6 are limited, so that the degree of freedom of the cover body 4 is completely limited, and the cover body 4 is prevented from shaking.

During unlocking, the cover body 4 is pressed, the elastic positioning piece 10 deforms, the buckle on the cover body 4 pushes and presses the elastic element in the door lock 6, after the required stroke of thrust unlocking is met, the door lock 6 is unlocked and opened, and the cover body rotates around the rotating shaft to be opened.

The elastic positioning portion 10 may be made of the same material as the engaging member 5 or the cover, which is advantageous for being integrally formed with the engaging member 5 or the cover 4. The manufacture of the elastic positioning portion 10 is facilitated, and the cost is reduced. Of course, the elastic positioning portion 10 can also be designed as a spring or a rubber block fixedly connected with the joint member 5 or the cover 4. The spring or rubber block may be manufactured integrally with the coupling element 5 or the cover 4 by means of insert injection molding, or the coupling element 5 or the cover 4 may be attached by other means, such as gluing.

Preferably, the rotating shaft 8 is arranged at the bottom of the access hole. The pivot 8 sets up in the bottom of access hole for after pressing lid 4 unblock, lid 4 can be under the effect of the elasticity of lock 6 and dead weight automatic keep the state that the door was opened, need not the extra operation of maintainer.

Thus, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that while various exemplary embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications which are consistent with the principles of this invention may be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be understood and interpreted to cover all such other variations or modifications.
