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

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, the structural support assembly includes at least two cross members 42 and at least two integral bending frames.

That is to say, the frame of buckling is an integral structure, for example, some embodiments, the frame of buckling is the sheet metal frame that cold process such as many times bending, punching press were gone into to same metal sheet, and the sheet metal frame has advantages such as structural strength height, reliability height, has great bearing capacity. In other embodiments, the bent frame may be an integrally injection molded plastic frame.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, the bending frame includes a pair of supporting pillars 2 and a connecting beam 41 connecting top ends of the two supporting pillars 2, i.e. the bending frame is substantially in an inverted U shape. The bottom end of the supporting column 2 is connected with the bottom plate component 1, and the top ends of the two bending frames are connected through a cross beam 42.

The base 10 of the embodiment of the application has the advantages that the bending frame is of an integrated structure, so that the structural strength and rigidity of the base 10 can be improved, and the bearing capacity of the base 10 is improved.

In some embodiments, two bending frames are arranged in the left-right direction of the assembly of the base 10, wherein one cross member 42 is connected to the top end of the front side of the two bending frames, and the other cross member 42 is connected to the top end of the rear side of the two bending frames. One of the bent frames is disposed on the left side, the other bent frame is disposed on the right side, one of the cross members 42 is disposed on the front side, and the other cross member 42 is disposed on the rear side.

In other embodiments, referring to fig. 3, two bending frames are spaced apart from each other along the front-back direction of the bottom plate assembly 1, wherein one of the beams 42 is connected to the top end of the left side of the two bending frames, and the other beam 42 is connected to the top end of the right side of the two bending frames. Specifically, one of the bent frames is disposed on the front side, the other bent frame is disposed on the rear side, one of the cross members 42 is disposed on the left side, and the other cross member 42 is disposed on the right side.

In this embodiment, the two bending frames can improve the structural strength of the base 10 in the left-right direction, so that the base 10 can have a large supporting span in the left-right direction while maintaining sufficient structural strength and rigidity.

For example, referring to fig. 1, 2, 4 and 12, the base 10 includes a base 11 and a plurality of feet 3 disposed below the base 11.

The entire laundry treating apparatus is supported on the ground by the respective feet 3, that is, the respective feet 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.

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 force to which they are stressed 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, the number of support posts 2 is four, and the number of 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.

The shape of the cross section of the bending frame in the direction perpendicular to the length direction thereof is not limited.

For example, referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, the bending frame has a U-shape in cross section perpendicular to the length direction, the openings of the U-shapes of the two supporting columns 2 face each other, and the opening of the U-shape of the connecting beam 41 faces downward. The bending frame in the embodiment has a box-shaped structure as a whole and has a larger bending-resistant section coefficient, so that the bending frame has larger bending resistance.

The specific structure of the cross member 42 is not limited.

For example, referring to fig. 10, the cross beam 42 includes a first sub-board 421 and a second sub-board 422 disposed at a bottom edge of the first sub-board 421.

The included angle between the first sub-board 421 and the second sub-board 422 is substantially right angle, that is, the cross-section of the cross beam 42 perpendicular to the length direction thereof is substantially L-shaped.

Opposite ends of the first sub-board 421 along the length direction are abutted against the upper surface of the connection beam 41 and fixedly connected, for example, screwed, and opposite ends of the second sub-board 422 along the length direction are abutted against the side surface of the upper end of the support column 2 and fixedly connected, for example, screwed. In this embodiment, the cross beam 42 and the bent frame are fixedly connected in two directions, so that the connection reliability is improved.

Referring to fig. 15, 16 and 17, the laundry treating machine includes a cabinet 70 and a connection plate 80 disposed under the cabinet 70. Screw members (screws or bolts) are passed through the connecting plate 80 and the bottom wall of the case 70 from bottom to top to fix the connecting plate 80 to the bottom of the case 70.

The laundry treating machine is connected to the pedestal 10 through the connection plate 80.

Referring to fig. 10, the first sub-plate 421 has positioning holes 42B for inserting the screw 100B at two opposite ends along the length direction. Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the top wall 411 of the connecting beam 41 is partially recessed downward to form a receiving slot 41a, and the positioning hole 42b is located above the receiving slot 41 a.

For example, referring to fig. 19, the bottom end of the screw 100B is inserted into the positioning hole 42B, and the nut of the screw 100B is located in the receiving slot 41 a. The connection plate 80 is connected to the support column 2 at opposite ends in the length direction.

The accommodating groove 41a can avoid the nut of the screw, and the nut of the screw is prevented from increasing the distance between the box body 70 and the base 10, so that the connecting plate 80 can be attached to the upper surface of the connecting beam 41, and the overall height of the clothes treatment equipment can be smaller, so that the box body 70 can be more stably supported on the base 10.

Illustratively, the receiving groove 41a extends along the length direction of the connecting beam 41, and two ends of the receiving groove 41a extend below the positioning hole 42 b. In this embodiment, the receiving groove 41a can enhance the structural strength of the cross beam 42.

The shape of the positioning hole 42b is not limited, and exemplary shapes of the positioning hole 42b include, but are not limited to, circular, elliptical, polygonal, and the like.

For example, referring to fig. 9, the connection plate 80 includes a first connection sub-plate 81 and a second connection sub-plate 82, and referring to fig. 6, 18 and 19, the first connection sub-plate 81 is attached to the bottom wall of the box body 70, and the second connection sub-plate 82 is bent downward from the edge of the first connection sub-plate 81.

The angle between the first connector board 81 and the second connector board 82 is substantially a right angle. The cross section of the connecting plate 80 perpendicular to the length direction is L-shaped, the structure is simple, and the cost is low.

The connecting plate 80 can be made of metal, and the connecting plate 80 is of a sheet metal structure. Thus, the connecting plate 80 has good structural strength and is easy to process and manufacture.

Referring to fig. 3, the supporting column 2 includes a first side wall 21, and a second side wall 22 and a third side wall 23 bent from two side edges of the first side wall 21 toward one side of the connecting beam 41, the second side wall 22 and the third side wall 23 are arranged facing each other, the second side wall 22 is located on one side of the supporting column 2 away from the cross beam 42, and the third side wall 23 is located on one side of the supporting column 2 close to the cross beam 42.

Referring to fig. 3, the connecting beam 41 includes a top wall 411, and a first wall 412 and a second wall 413 bent downward from two side edges of the top wall 411, and the first wall 412 and the second wall 413 are arranged facing each other.

Both ends of the first wall 412 in the longitudinal direction are attached to the outer sides of the two second side walls 22, and both ends of the second wall 413 in the longitudinal direction are attached to the outer sides of the two third side walls 23; that is, the second and third sidewalls 22 and 23 are located between the first and second walls 412 and 413.

The overlapping portion of the second side wall 22 and the first wall 412 is provided with at least one pair of connecting holes for penetrating the screw-connecting members. The threaded members may be screws, bolts, or the like.

It will be appreciated that during the cold working process, since the support post 2 and the connecting beam 41 need to be bent almost 90 °, the junction between the second side wall 22 and the first wall 412 is cut off and then bent, and similarly, the junction between the third side wall 23 and the second wall 413 is cut off and then bent, so that after bending, the junction between the second side wall 22 and the first wall 412 is overlapped, and the junction between the third side wall 23 and the second wall 413 is overlapped.

The screw passes through the overlapping part of the second side wall 22 and the first wall 412, and the structural strength of the bending part of the bending frame can be improved.

For example, referring to fig. 6, the second sub-connector 82 is located on the lateral outer side of the first wall 412, two ends of the second sub-connector 82 extend to the lateral outer side of the second side wall 22, and the screw 100A sequentially penetrates through the second sub-connector 82, the first wall 412 and the second side wall 22 to fix the second sub-connector 82 to the supporting column 2. That is, the same screw member 100B serves to mount the second connection sub-board 82 and also serves to connect the first wall 412 and the second side wall 22.

During the assembly of the laundry treating machine with the base 10, one of the screw members 100B penetrates the first connection sub-plate 81 and the bottom wall of the cabinet 70 from the bottom side of the cabinet 70 to integrally connect the connection plate 80 and the cabinet 70. The nuts of the screw members are located on the bottom side of the case 70.

The whole is placed on the base 10, and the bottom end of the screw member 100B is inserted into the positioning hole 42B and the accommodating groove 41a, so that the whole and the base 10 are roughly positioned, the whole is prevented from being offset and dislocated, and then the second connection sub-board 82 and the support column 2 are fastened and connected.

For example, referring to fig. 6 and 19, the upper end of the second sidewall 22 is recessed inward to define a first recessed area 221, the lower end of the second wall 413 is bent inward to define a second recessed area 4121, the second recessed area 4121 is attached to the first recessed area 221, and the outer surface of the second recessed area 4121 is recessed into the outer surface of the non-recessed area of the first sidewall 21. Thus, the second recessed area 4121 provides a space for the second connection sub-board 82 to avoid the second connection sub-board 82 protruding from the outer surface of the second sidewall 22.

For example, referring to fig. 5, 6 and 9, a part of the first connector sub-board 81 is recessed downward to form a first recessed portion 811, and the first recessed portion 811 extends along a length direction of the first connector sub-board 81. The first recessed portion 811 projects into the slave accommodation groove 41 a. The accommodation groove 41a functions to escape the first recessed portion 811. The first recessed portion 811 is nested and engaged with the receiving groove 41a, and the receiving groove 41a restricts the first connector board 81 from sliding in the transverse direction perpendicular to the length direction, thereby limiting the first connector board.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 5, 6, 9, and 19, a portion of the second connection sub-board 82 is recessed inward to form a second recessed portion 821, and the second recessed portion 821 extends along a length direction of the second connection sub-board 82. The screw 100A passes through the second concave portion 821 and is connected to the support column 2. The outer surface of the second concave portion 821 serves to receive the nut of the screw 100A, and the nut is prevented from protruding from the outer surface of the second connector sub-board 82.

Referring to fig. 7, the bottom plate assembly 1 includes a plurality of folding edge sets 113 bent upward from the edge of the substrate 11, each folding edge set 113 includes a first folding edge 1131 and a second folding edge 1132, and referring to fig. 2, the first side wall 21 is engaged with and fixedly connected to at least a portion of the first folding edge 1131, and the second side wall 22 is engaged with and fixedly connected to at least a portion 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, the number of the hemming sets 113 is four, and each support stand 2 is connected to one set of hemming.

Specifically, in each folding edge group 113, the first folding edge 1131 and the second folding edge 1132 are arranged at an angle of approximately 90 ° to form a right angle facing the receiving space 10 a. The four fold groups 113 define approximately 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 first side wall 21, and the fastening member sequentially passes through the installation avoiding area 1131a and the first side wall 21.

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. 3, the lower end of the second sidewall 22 is recessed inwardly and defines a recessed relief area 222; the second flange 1132 is attached to the concave relief area 222. The concave relief area 222 provides a relief space for the second flange 1132, and reduces a degree of protrusion of the second flange 1132 with respect to a non-concave area of the second sidewall 22.

Illustratively, the recessed depth of the recessed relief region 222 is less than the depth of the first recessed region 221.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7, a partial region of the base 11 is recessed downward and forms a sinking carrying area 111 for carrying the base 61, and the base 61 is placed on the sinking carrying area 111, that is, the base 11 carries the weight of the base 61 and the cleaning robot 90 parked in the accommodating chamber 61a through the sinking carrying area 111.

The front side edge of sinker bearing zone 111 extends to doorway 10b, sinker bearing zone 111 extends to the front side edge of base 11, and the front side of sinker bearing zone 111 has no non-depressed areas.

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 carriage 111 is smaller than that of the non-sinking area, 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 climbing plate 63 is provided at a front end of a bottom wall of the base 61, and the climbing 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.
