An embodiment of the present utility model provides a laundry treatment apparatus assembly, referring to fig. 9, comprising a laundry treatment apparatus 200 and a pedestal assembly according to any embodiment of the present utility model, the pedestal assembly being located below the laundry treatment apparatus 200, the pedestal providing structural support for the laundry treatment apparatus 200. Specifically, the laundry treating apparatus 200 is supported on the structural support assembly 2. That is, the structural support assembly 2 is a force-receiving member capable of carrying the weight of the laundry treating apparatus 200 and its load, and the pedestal does not carry the weight of the laundry treating apparatus 200.

The type of the laundry treating apparatus 200 is not limited, and for example, any one or a combination of any plurality of washing machines, dehydrators, dryers, and washing and drying integrated machines, etc. The specific application of the laundry treating apparatus 200 is not limited to the structure of the base assembly of the present utility model.

According to the clothes treatment equipment combination, the base assembly is integrated below the clothes treatment equipment 200, so that on one hand, the cleaning robot can be stored in the space below the clothes treatment equipment 200, and the occupied indoor area of the cleaning robot is reduced; on the other hand, the laundry treating apparatus 200 is placed near the faucet and the floor drain, so that water is conveniently fed and discharged, water is conveniently fed and discharged to the base assembly through the existing convenience of water feeding and discharging of the laundry treating machine, and the water feeding and discharging waterway problem of the base assembly is solved.

Taking the laundry treating apparatus 200 as an example of a drum-type laundry treating apparatus, one side of the drum-type laundry treating apparatus 200 is provided with a door for opening or closing a laundry treating chamber inside the laundry treating apparatus 200.

It should be noted that, the front side of the base and the side of the door body of the laundry treating apparatus 200 may be located on the same side of the laundry treating apparatus assembly, or may be located on different sides of the laundry treating apparatus assembly. In the embodiment of the present application, the front side of the base and the side of the door body of the laundry treating apparatus 200 are located at the same side of the laundry treating apparatus combination are described as an example.

The structural support assembly 2 is required to be a stress structural member for supporting the weight of the laundry treating apparatus 200 and the load thereof, and thus the structural support assembly 2 as a whole is required to have a good structural strength.

Illustratively, referring to FIG. 1, the base includes a plurality of feet 3 disposed below the base 1. The entire laundry treatment apparatus combination is supported on the ground by the respective foot 3, that is, the respective foot 3 is required to bear the weight of the entire laundry treatment apparatus 200 and its load.

The foot 3 may be a fixed foot or an adjustable foot with a supporting height adjustable, and is not limited herein.

The structural support assembly 2 includes a plurality of support columns 21 and a plurality of connection beams, the bottom ends of the support columns 21 being directly or indirectly connected to the base 1, and the top ends of the support columns 21 being connected by the connection beams. The connecting beam can improve the structural strength and rigidity of the top end of the support column 21, and reduce the probability of transverse deflection of the support column 21.

The lateral direction refers to any direction in a horizontal plane, for example, a left-right direction, a front-rear direction, and the like.

The supporting columns 21 are commonly stressed, and the weight of the laundry treating apparatus 200 and its load is transferred to the supporting columns 21, and the supporting columns 21 transfer the acting force applied thereto to the foot 3.

Illustratively, one foot 3 is arranged right under each support column 21, and no additional bending moment is generated between the support column 21 and the foot 3, so that the substrate 1 cannot bear shearing force due to the bending moment, and therefore, the stress condition of the substrate 1 can be improved, and the requirements on the thickness and the shearing force resistance of the substrate 1 can be reduced.

The number of support columns 21 is not limited. Illustratively, in some embodiments, the projection of the substrate 1 on the horizontal plane is substantially rectangular, the number of support columns 21 is at least four, and each corner of the rectangle is provided with one support column 21. The arrangement of the connection beams is not limited, and in some embodiments, for example, the connection Liang Shunci is attached to the top end of the support column 21 to form a substantially quadrangular frame. It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, a connecting beam may be further added to the quadrilateral frame to divide the quadrilateral into two triangular structures.

Illustratively, the structural support assembly 2 comprises at least one integral bent frame 2' (see fig. 4), wherein the bent frame 2' comprises two support columns 21 and a first connecting beam 22' connecting the top ends of the two support columns 21. The overall shape of the bent frame 2' is substantially U-shaped with the opening of the shape facing downwards. The bending frame 2' can be a sheet metal part formed by bending the same metal plate for a plurality of times. The unitary construction of the bending frame 2' enables the structural strength and load carrying capacity of the structural support assembly 2 to be improved.

Among the plurality of connection beams, the connection beam used to form the bent frame 2' is a first connection beam, and the remaining connection beams are denoted as second connection beams 22″.

The number of the bending frames 2' is not limited, and may be one or two.

For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the bending frames 2 'is two, and the two bending frames 2' are arranged side by side in the front-rear direction or in the left-right direction. At least two second connecting beams 22 "are connected between the two bending frames 2'.

For example, in some embodiments, two support columns 21 located on the same side in the left-right direction and a first connecting beam 22' therebetween form a bent frame 2', and in this embodiment, the two bent frames 2' are arranged side by side in the left-right direction. Specifically, one support column 21 on the left front side, one support column 21 on the left rear side, and one first connecting beam 22 'on the left side form one of the bending frames 2'. One support column 21 on the right front side, one support column 21 on the right rear side, and one first connecting beam 22 'on the right side form another bending frame 2'. One second connection beam 22 "on the rear side is connected to the rear ends of the two bending frames 2', and one second connection beam 22" on the front side is connected to the front ends of the two bending frames 2'.

In other embodiments, referring to fig. 2, two support columns 21 located on the same side in the front-rear direction and a first connecting beam 22' therebetween form a bending frame 2', and in this embodiment, the two bending frames 2' are arranged side by side in the front-rear direction. Specifically, one support column 21 on the left front side, one support column 21 on the right front side, and one first connecting beam 22 'on the front side form one of the bending frames 2'. One support column 21 on the right rear side, one support column 21 on the left rear side, and one first connecting beam 22 'on the rear side form another bending frame 2'. One second connection beam 22 "on the left side is connected to the left ends of the two bending frames 2', and one second connection beam 22" on the right side is connected to the right ends of the two bending frames 2'.

Illustratively, the bending frame 2' is formed by bending a metal plate. Wherein the metal plate comprises continuous walls extending continuously and side walls arranged on two opposite sides of the connecting wall along the width direction, namely the cross section of the metal plate is approximately U-shaped.

After the metal plate is bent, a part of the continuous wall of the metal plate is bent into a continuous wall 221 corresponding to the first connecting beam 22', and the other part is bent into a continuous wall 211 corresponding to the support column 21. One part of the side wall of the metal plate is bent into a side wall 222 corresponding to the first connecting beam 22', and the other part is bent into a side wall 212 corresponding to the supporting column 21.

The side wall 222 corresponding to the first connecting beam 22' and the side wall 212 corresponding to the support column 21 are discontinuous and welded at the bending. That is, before the metal plate is bent out of the bending frame 2', the continuous wall is not broken in the length direction, and the side wall is broken at the portion for bending out the support column 21 and the portion for bending out the first connecting beam 22', and at the time of bending, the side wall hardly forms bending resistance, facilitating bending.

According to the base provided by the embodiment of the application, the side wall 222 corresponding to the first connecting beam 22' and the side wall 212 corresponding to the supporting column 21 are welded at the bending position, and even if the clothes treatment equipment vibrates frequently, the welding position is hardly affected, so that the connection reliability of the two is improved, and the structural strength of the base is enhanced.

Illustratively, the sheet material of the bending frame 2' has a wall thickness of 2mm to 3mm, for example, 2mm, 2.2mm, 2.4mm, 2.5mm, 2.6mm, 2.8mm, 3mm, etc. The wall thickness of the plate material of the bending frame 2' refers to the thickness of the plate material for bending and forming. In embodiments employing bending of the same sheet metal, the wall thickness of the sheet metal refers to the thickness of the sheet metal.

The wall thickness range of the plate material of the bending frame 2 'enables the plate material to be suitable for the bending process, and enables the bending frame 2' to have stronger structural strength.

In an embodiment in which the number of bending frames 2 'is two, the two bending frames 2' may be interchangeably mounted at desired positions. Wherein the intended position refers to the designed mounting position of the bending frame 2'. In the assembly process, the two bending frames 2 'are not required to be distinguished, so that the assembly efficiency can be improved, and the universalization rate of the two bending frames 2' can be improved. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the shapes and dimensions of the two bending frames 2 'are not necessarily identical, that is, the shapes of the two bending frames 2' may be identical or partially different; the dimensions of the two may be identical or may be partially different, as long as the assembly is not affected.

Illustratively, in some embodiments, the two bending frames 2' are identical in shape and size. I.e. the two bending frames 2' are almost identical in shape and in size, the two bending frames 2' can be manufactured by the same process and tool, reducing the production costs, and in addition, the two bending frames 2' can be interchangeably mounted in the desired position.

It should be noted that, in the planar projection from the top side to the bottom side, the two bending frames 2 'are not distributed in mirror symmetry, but are distributed in rotational symmetry, for example, the bending frames 2' may be mounted at desired positions of the other after being rotated 180 ° in the planar projection.

Illustratively, the side wall 222 corresponding to the first connecting beam 22' and the side wall 212 corresponding to the support column 21 do not overlap at the bend. That is, the side wall 222 corresponding to the first connecting beam 22' and the side wall 212 corresponding to the support column 21 are not overlapped in the thickness direction of the side wall. In this way, in the bending process, the side wall corresponding to the first connecting beam 22' and the side wall corresponding to the supporting column 21 can be approximately located in the same plane for butt joint, and a local concave processing process is not required to be adopted for one side wall at the bending position, so that on one hand, the complexity of the bending process can be reduced, and on the other hand, the butt joint position can be flat.

Illustratively, the lateral end of the sidewall corresponding to the first connecting beam 22' has a first end face, the top end of the sidewall corresponding to the supporting column 21 has a second end face, the first end face and the second end face are butted, referring to fig. 2 and 3, a butt line B1 is formed at the butt joint, and welded at the butt joint. In this way, in the bending process, the side wall 222 corresponding to the first connecting beam 22' and the side wall 212 corresponding to the supporting column 21 may be located approximately in the same plane for butt joint, and a local concave processing process is not required for one of the side walls, so that on one hand, the complexity of the bending process can be reduced, and on the other hand, the butt joint position can be relatively flat.

The welding manner of the side wall 222 corresponding to the first connecting beam 22' and the side wall 212 corresponding to the supporting column 21 is not limited.

For example, in some embodiments, the side wall 222 of the first connecting beam 22' and the side wall 212 of the support column 21 are spot welded at a plurality of locations at the interface, with the respective welds being spaced apart.

In other embodiments, referring to fig. 3, a weld F1 formed by welding the sidewall 222 corresponding to the first connecting beam 22' and the sidewall 212 corresponding to the supporting column 21 at the joint extends along the joint line B1 of the first end surface and the second end surface. That is, the continuous welding along the butt line B1 forms the continuous welding line F1, and the welding reliability of the side wall 222 corresponding to the first connecting beam 22' and the side wall 212 corresponding to the support column 21 can be improved.

Illustratively, the total length of the weld F1 formed by welding is not less than 1/2 of the length of the butt line B1. In this embodiment, the length of the weld F1 is relatively long, ensuring welding reliability. Note that the total length of the weld F1 refers to the cumulative length of the weld F1 along the length direction of the butt line B1. For example, when there are a plurality of welding sites arranged at intervals on the butt line B1, the total length of the weld F1 is the sum of the lengths of all the welding sites. When there is only one continuous weld on the butt line B1, the total length of the weld is the length of the weld.

For example, referring to fig. 2 and 3, weld F1 extends to the end of butt line B1 distal from the end of the continuous wall. One end of the opposite connection line B1 far away from the connecting wall is located at the sharp angle, so that the welding at the sharp angle can improve the connection reliability of the sharp angle, and the structural reliability of the base is improved.

The opposite connection line B1 may be a straight line or a curved line. In the embodiment of the present application, the description will be given taking the example that the butt line B1 is in a straight line.

Illustratively, the length direction of the first connecting beam 22' is perpendicular to the height direction of the support column 21. The angle between the opposite connection line B1 and the longitudinal direction of the first connection beam 22' is 40 ° to 50 °, for example, 40 °, 43 °, 45 °, 47 °, 50 °, etc. Alternatively, the angle between the butt line B1 and the support column 21 in the height direction is 40 ° to 50 °, for example, 40 °, 43 °, 45 °, 47 °, 50 °, or the like.

For example, in the case where the first connecting beam 22' of the bent frame 2' extends in the left-right direction as illustrated in fig. 2, the longitudinal direction of the first connecting beam 22' is the left-right direction as illustrated in fig. 2, and the height direction of the support column 21 is the up-down direction and the top-bottom direction as illustrated in fig. 2.

Specifically, the length direction of the first connecting beam 22' and the height direction of the supporting column 21 construct a planar rectangular coordinate system in which the opposite connection B1 is located. The angle between the opposite wiring B1 and the longitudinal direction of the first connecting beam 22' is θ, the angle between the opposite wiring and the height direction of the support column 21 is β, and the sum of θ and β is equal to 90 °. For example, when θ is 45 °, β is 45 °; when θ is 40 °, β is 50 °. When θ is 50 °, β is 40 °.

Illustratively, the width of each portion of the sidewall of the metal plate is the same. Specifically, the width of the sidewall 212 corresponding to the support column 21 is the same as the width of the sidewall 222 corresponding to the first connection beam 22'. Specifically, the width of the sidewall 212 corresponding to the support column 21 is the dimension of the sidewall 212 in the left-right direction along the direction shown in fig. 2. The width of the sidewall 222 corresponding to the first connecting beam 22' is the dimension of the sidewall 222 in the up-down direction along the direction shown in fig. 2.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the structural support assembly 2 further includes a reinforcement member 23, wherein a portion of the reinforcement member 23 is connected to a corresponding side wall 222 of the first connecting beam 22', and another portion is connected to a corresponding side wall 212 of the support column 21. The reinforcement 23 serves to strengthen the structural strength and reliability of the bent frame 2 'at the bent portions of the first connection beam 22' and the support column 21.

Illustratively, the sides of the two side walls of the metal plate facing away from each other are the outer sides, and the reinforcement 23 is provided on the outer sides of the side walls. That is, one portion of the reinforcement 23 is located outside the corresponding side wall 212 of the support column 21, and the other portion is located outside the corresponding side wall 222 of the first connecting beam 22'. In this way, welding is facilitated directly on the outside of the side wall. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the reinforcement 23 may be provided on the inside of the side wall, provided that the welding operation can be performed.

Illustratively, the welded seam is formed at the welding of the side wall 222 corresponding to the first connecting beam 22' and the side wall 212 corresponding to the support column 21, and the reinforcement 23 does not overlap with the welded seam F1. In the plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the side wall, the reinforcement 23 and the weld F1 do not overlap and do not affect each other, so that the weld F1 does not affect the contact between the reinforcement 23 and the side wall when the weld F1 protrudes at the surface of the side wall.

The specific shape of the reinforcement 23 is not limited.

For example, referring to fig. 2 and 3, the reinforcement 23 is generally in the form of an elongated flat plate. A part of the reinforcement 23 is overlapped on the outside of the side wall 222 corresponding to the first connection beam 22', and another part of the reinforcement 23 is overlapped on the outside of the side wall 212 corresponding to the support column 21. In this way, the contact surfaces of the reinforcement member 23 and the side walls 212, 222 are flat, the reinforcement member 23 can be stacked on the surfaces of the side walls 212, 222 smoothly, and the degree of protrusion of the reinforcement member 23 on the surfaces of the side walls is reduced, so that the influence of the reinforcement member 23 on the connection of other members with the side walls 212, 222, for example, the influence on the connection of the housing 6 with the side walls 212, 222 hereinafter, is reduced.

The outer side of the corresponding side wall 212 of the support column 21 refers to the side of the two side walls 212 of the support column 21 facing away from each other. The outer side of the corresponding side wall 222 of the first connection beam 22 'refers to the side of the two side walls 222 of the first connection beam 22' facing away from each other.

For example, referring to fig. 2, the reinforcement 23 is disposed on a side of the sidewall away from the continuous wall, that is, as close as possible to the sharp corner defined by the sidewall 222 corresponding to the first connecting beam 22' and the sidewall 212 corresponding to the supporting column 21, so as to better reduce the probability of cracking at the sharp corner.

Illustratively, the weld F1 extends to the end of the butt line B1 at the end remote from the continuous wall, please refer to fig. 3, F1' illustrating the end of the weld. In this way, the connection reliability at sharp corners can be improved.

Illustratively, the side of the reinforcement 23 at the bend towards the continuous wall has a notch 23a, the weld F1 extends to the end of the butt line B1 at the end remote from the continuous wall, and the end F1' of the weld F1 is located in the notch 23 a. The end F1' of the weld is avoided by the notch 23a so that the reinforcement 23 can avoid both the sharp corner and the weld F1.

The manner of connection of the reinforcement 23 and the side wall is not limited, and may be, for example, screw connection, riveting, welding, or the like.

For example, referring to fig. 3, the reinforcement 23 is provided with a tab 231, and the sidewall 212 corresponding to the support column 21 and/or the sidewall 222 corresponding to the first connecting beam 22' are provided with a positioning slot, and the tab 231 is inserted into the positioning slot to realize the predetermined positioning of the reinforcement 23. Specifically, during the assembly process, the tab 231 of the fixing member 23 is inserted into the positioning slot, so as to realize rapid positioning of the fixing member 23, ensure the correct installation position of the fixing member 23, and then perform operations such as screwing or welding. In addition, in the operation processes of screw or welding and the like, an operator is not required to hold the fixing piece 23, so that the assembly is convenient, and the working intensity of the assembly work is reduced.

The number of the tabs 231 is not limited, and may be one or a plurality.

In some embodiments, the side wall 212 corresponding to the support column 21 is provided with a positioning groove, and the side wall 222 corresponding to the first connecting beam 22' is not provided with a positioning groove. In other embodiments, the sidewall 212 corresponding to the support column 21 has no positioning groove, and the sidewall 222 corresponding to the first connecting beam 22' has a positioning groove. In still other embodiments, the side walls 212 and 222 of the support columns 21 and 22 'are respectively provided with positioning grooves, and the number of the tabs 231 is at least two, wherein at least one tab 231 is inserted into the positioning groove of the side wall 212 of the support column 21, and at least one other tab 231 is inserted into the positioning groove of the side wall 222 of the first connecting beam 22'.

For example, referring to fig. 5, the bottom end of the continuous wall 211 corresponding to the support column 21 is folded toward the side of the side wall 212 and forms a folded portion 213. I.e. the fold 213 and the corresponding side wall 212 of the support column 21 are both located on the same side of the corresponding continuous wall 211 of the support column 21.

The turnover 213 is supported on the base 1 and is directly or indirectly connected with the base 1. In this embodiment, the turnover part 213 enhances the overall structural strength and bending rigidity of the support column 21, and in addition, the turnover part 213 can increase the contact area of the support column 21 and the base 1, improve the mounting strength and reliability of the foot 3, and also improve the connection reliability of the support column 21 and the base 1.

The manner in which the hinge 213 is connected to the base 1 is not limited, and includes, for example and without limitation: screw connection, bolting, riveting, welding, etc.

For example, referring to fig. 4 and 5, the top surface of the turnover 213 is fixed with a nut 216, for example, by riveting or welding the nut 216. The top end of the foot 3 is provided with an external thread, and when assembled, the foot 3 is threaded through the base 1 and the turnover 213 from the bottom side of the base 1 and into the nut 216. The nut 216 in this embodiment can increase the number of threads to be engaged with the external threads of the foot 3, and improve connection reliability, compared to the manner of drilling and tapping the straight turnover 213.

Illustratively, the turnover portion 213 has first turned-up flanges 214 turned up on opposite sides of the continuous wall 212 in the width direction, and the first turned-up flanges 214 are superposed on the outer side surfaces of the corresponding side walls 212 of the support column 21. Wherein the outer surface of the sidewall 212 refers to the surface of any one sidewall facing away from the side of the other sidewall. That is, the two sidewalls 212 are located between the two first flanges 214. The first flange 214 can further enhance the lateral stiffness and structural strength of the support column 21.

Illustratively, the first flange 214 and the corresponding sidewall of the support column 21 are interconnected. The connection method is not limited, and for example, screw connection, riveting, and the like. In this embodiment, the lateral rigidity and structural strength of the support column 21 can be further improved.

Illustratively, the first flange 214 and the sidewall 212 are welded. The welding reliability is high, and the welding seam is not easy to protrude out of the outer surface of the first flanging 214, so that other structures can be conveniently connected to the outer surface of the first flanging 214.

The welding position of the first flange 214 and the side wall 212 is not limited, for example, the top edge of the first flange 214 and the side wall 212 are welded.

Illustratively, referring to FIG. 5, the end of the fold 213 distal from the continuous wall 211 is formed with an upwardly turned second flange 215. The second flange 215 can enhance the bending rigidity of the entire support column 21 in the front-rear direction.

It should be noted that in some embodiments, the opposite ends of the second flange 215 may not be connected to the side wall 212 or the first flange 214. Of course, in other embodiments, opposite ends of the second flange 215 may also be connected to the side wall 212 or the first flange 214.

The relative heights of the first flange 214 and the second flange 215 are not limited, and for example, both may be the same, or either may be higher than the other.

For example, referring to fig. 5, the height of the second flange 215 is lower than the height of the first flange 214. The height of the second flange 215 is relatively low, so that the influence of the second flange 215 on the assembling process of the turnover part 213 and the bottom foot 3 can be reduced, and an operation tool can be conveniently inserted into the area enclosed by the continuous wall 211 and the two side walls 212 corresponding to the support column 21 to operate, for example, the operation tool can be conveniently used for welding or riveting the nut 216; it is also convenient for the operator to see if the foot 3 and the turnover 213 are connected in place.

For example, referring to fig. 5, the bottom ends of the sidewalls 212 corresponding to the support columns 21 are recessed toward each other and define a relief area 212a, and the first flanges 214 overlap the relief area 212a. The relief area 212a facilitates reducing the protrusion of the first flange 214 relative to the surface of the sidewall 212 at the remainder of the sidewall 212 outside the relief area 212a.

For example, referring to fig. 2 and 4, in the embodiment in which two support columns 21 at the rear side and a first connection beam 22 'therebetween form a one-piece bent frame 2', a front side surface of the first connection beam 22 'at the rear side is partially recessed rearward and defines a recessed area 22a, i.e., a front side surface of the first connection beam 22' at the rear side is partially recessed rearward and defines a recessed area 22a. The recessed area 22a is used for avoiding the fan 7.

The base assembly comprises a fan 7 (refer to fig. 1) and a drying air duct 71 which are positioned at the rear side of the base, wherein the drying air duct 71 is communicated with an air outlet of the fan 7 and the accommodating cavity. The blower 7 ventilates the accommodating chamber through the drying duct 71 so as to rapidly dry the cleaning member of the cleaning robot. In the embodiment of the application, referring to fig. 1, a portion of the top of the fan 7 is located at the concave area 22a, and the first connecting beam 22' is away from the fan 7 in the height direction and the front-rear direction, so that the dimension of the entire base along the height direction and the dimension along the front-rear direction can be reduced.

The fan 7 is substantially flat, and the axis of the impeller of the fan 7 is substantially in the front-rear direction.

For example, referring to fig. 1 and 7, a part of the substrate 1 is recessed downward and forms a sinking carrying region 11, and the sinking carrying region 11 is used for carrying a cleaning robot. The base is placed in the submerged carrying area 11, that is, the substrate 1 carries the weight of the base and the cleaning robot resting in the receiving chamber through the submerged carrying area 11.

The sinking design of the sinking bearing zone 11 can play a role in reinforcing the structural strength and rigidity of the substrate 1; in addition, the ground clearance of the sinking bearing area 11 is smaller than that of the non-sinking area 12, the sinking bearing area 11 reduces the installation height of the bottom wall of the base, so that the climbing height of the cleaning robot when returning to the base can be reduced, and the cleaning robot can return to the base conveniently; the length of the climbing plate in the front-rear direction can be shortened under the condition that the inclination of the climbing plate of the base is unchanged.

It should be noted that the manner of forming the sinking supporting region 11 is not limited, and for example, the sinking supporting region 11 is stamped out of a metal plate material by a stamping process. The non-sinking region 12 is a part of the metal plate material which is not punched and bent.

With continued reference to fig. 1 and 7, the substrate 1 has non-sinker regions 12 on the left and right sides of the sinker carrier region 11. The front side of the sinker carrier region 11 has no non-sinker region 12.

The bottom ends of the support columns 21 support and are connected to the non-submerged areas 12. Each foot 3 is connected to a non-sink area 12 of the substrate 1.

Referring to fig. 7, referring to fig. 6 and 7, the front edge of the non-sinking section 12 has a turnover edge 121 turned upwards, and referring to fig. 1, the fastener passes through the turnover edge 121 and the corresponding side wall of the support column 21. In this way, the connection reliability of the support column 21 and the substrate 1 can be enhanced.

Illustratively, referring to FIG. 6, the height of the flap edge 121 is less than the height of the first flap edge 214. The height of the turnover edge 121 is small, and the material of the substrate 1 in the front-rear direction can be saved. For example, when the base 1 is formed by punching and cutting a metal plate, the height of the turnup edge 121 is small, so that the dimension of the metal plate along the front-rear direction of the base 1 can be small, thereby reducing the material consumption of the metal plate.

For example, referring to fig. 6, the top of the turnup edge 121 has an inclined guiding surface 121a, and the inclined guiding surface 121a extends obliquely upward toward a side facing away from the accommodating space 10 a. The inclined guide surface 121a is used for guiding the support column 21 to be placed on the substrate 1. For example, when the support column 21 is placed in a direction approaching the substrate 1 during the assembly, the bottom end of the support column 21 may come into contact with the inclined guide surface 121a and be rapidly placed in place under the guide of the inclined guide surface 121 a.

For example, referring to fig. 1 and 7, the edge of the non-sinking region 12 on the side far from the sinking bearing region 11 has a connection flange 13 turned upwards, the connection flange 13 on the left and right sides is overlapped and fixedly connected with the surface of the corresponding continuous wall 211 of the support column 21, and the connection flange 13 on the rear side is overlapped and fixedly connected with the surface of the side wall on the rear side of the support column 21. The connection flange 13 can enhance the connection reliability of the support column 21 to the base 1.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 8, the base assembly includes a cover plate 5, the cover plate 5 being disposed on a top side of the structural support member 2 and covering the receiving space 10a. When unexpected situations such as water leakage, water seepage and the like occur in the clothes treating apparatus 200, the dripped water is blocked by the cover plate 5, the cover plate 5 plays a role in waterproof protection for each component on the base, and the structural strength of the structural support assembly 2 can be enhanced.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 8, the base assembly includes a housing 6, where the housing 6 may be provided on the left, right, rear, and front sides of the base, and the housing 6 may be an external component of the base assembly. The housing 6 located on the front side does not block the doorway 10b.

In one embodiment, the base assembly includes a water inlet valve and a water inlet waterway. The water inlet waterway is communicated with the cleaning tank, and the water inlet valve is arranged on the water inlet waterway. The water inlet waterway is used for supplying water to the cleaning tank. The water inlet valve is used for switching on or switching off the water inlet waterway. Therefore, the controller can control the water inlet valve to be opened and closed, so that the automatic water inlet of the cleaning tank is realized. The water flow of the washing tank can be independently controlled through the water inlet valve, is not influenced by the water used by the clothes treatment equipment 200, and only needs to be electrified, so that even if the clothes treatment equipment 200 is not electrified and does not work, the water inlet valve can work independently. Similarly, the water flow of the laundry treating apparatus 200 can be independently controlled without being affected by the water used for the base.

In one embodiment, the water intake waterway is communicated with the tap water pipe. In one aspect, the tap water pipe continuously provides tap water to the cleaning tank. This saves the structure of a water tank or the like for supplying water to the cleaning tank.

In one embodiment, the base assembly comprises a drain channel and a drain pump, wherein the drain channel is communicated with the cleaning tank and the floor drain, and the drain pump is arranged on the drain channel to pump sewage in the cleaning tank to the floor drain. Therefore, the controller can control the starting and stopping of the drainage pump to realize automatic drainage of the cleaning tank.

Illustratively, the drain passage and the drain pipe of the laundry treating apparatus 200 may communicate through a tee joint to share the floor drain. That is, both the washing water from the laundry treating apparatus 200 and the washing water in the washing tub can be discharged to the drain through the same drain, without providing a drain for the washing water and the washing water, respectively, thus saving structural members.
