In some related arts, in order to reduce the possibility that the handle is exposed on the appearance surface of the laundry treatment apparatus, the handle is disposed on the outer periphery of the door body assembly, which results in a larger thickness of the door body assembly, so that the door body assembly protrudes from the surface of the case, and the ornamental value of the appearance surface of the laundry treatment apparatus is affected.

In other related art, the door handle is integrally connected to the door outer ring, and in this case, in order to enable the handle structure to be easily released, it is necessary to provide a recessed area corresponding to the handle on the protective cover to accommodate the handle. However, as known, a general protective cover is made of glass material, a concave area is formed in the glass material, and a handle is arranged in the concave area, so that the molded structure has high process cost, and even if the protective cover is made of plastic parts, the plastic parts are provided with the concave area, so that the protective cover has relatively large number of processes and is not friendly to mass production models.

According to the door body assembly 30 provided by the embodiment of the application, the concave area 32a is formed on one side of the door outer ring 32, the buckling handle 34 extends to the outer side of the concave area 32a, the buckling handle 34 and the concave area 32a are matched with each other in the first aspect, the size of the door body assembly 30 protruding out of the surface of the box body 10 is reduced, the concave area 32a is only formed on the door outer ring 32, the buckling handle 34 is not arranged on the door outer ring 32, so that core pulling demolding is not needed in the manufacturing process of the door outer ring 32, the manufacturing difficulty of the door outer ring 32 can be reduced, the possibility that a parting line generated by core pulling demolding is exposed on the appearance surface of the door body assembly 30 can be reduced, and in the third aspect, the buckling handle 34 is connected with the door inner ring 33, when a user applies force to the door inner ring 33, the door inner ring 33 has a trend of moving towards the door outer ring 32, the door inner ring 33 and the door outer ring 32 is not easy to separate, and the structural reliability of the door body assembly 30 is improved.

The specific manner of forming the recessed region 32a of the door outer ring 32 is not limited.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4, 7 and 8, in a radially outward direction, the non-recessed region of the door inner ring 33 extends obliquely away from the door outer ring 32, and the recessed region 32a extends toward the door inner ring 33. It will be appreciated that the non-recessed area of the door outer ring 32 and the recessed area 32a extend obliquely in two opposite directions from the middle of the door outer ring 32 in a direction of the radially outer edge, which can increase the degree of recession of the recessed area 32a so that the user's fingers extend into the recessed area 32a to apply force to the clasp hand 34.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 4 and 5, in the inside-out direction of the door body assembly 30, the edge of the non-recessed area of the door outer ring 32 is flush with the edge of the catch portion 34. That is, the surface of the knob portion 34 is flush with the surface portion of the non-recessed area of the door outer race 32, so that the possibility of protrusion of the knob portion 34 in the inward and outward directions with respect to the door outer race 32 can be reduced, and the integrity of the exterior surface of the laundry treating apparatus 1 can be improved.

The specific connection of the catch portion 34 to the door inner ring 33 is not limited.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 3, the handle portion 34 is integrally formed with the door inner ring 33, so that the structural strength of the handle portion 34 connected with the door inner ring 33 can be improved, the possibility that the handle portion 34 is separated due to the action of the user on the handle portion 34 can be reduced, and the stability of the door assembly 30 in use can be improved.

In addition, the handle portion 34 is connected with the door inner ring 33, so that the parting line generated by core pulling and demolding in the manufacturing process of the door inner ring 33 can be shielded by the door outer ring 32, and the probability that the parting line is exposed in the field of view of a user can be reduced.

In other embodiments, the buckling handle 34 and the door inner ring 33 are in a split structure, and the buckling handle 34 is detachably connected with the door inner ring 33, so that the buckling handle 34 is convenient to repair or replace, and the maintenance convenience of the door body assembly 30 is improved. In addition, the door inner ring 33 does not need to be subjected to core pulling and demolding in the manufacturing process, so that the manufacturing difficulty of the door inner ring 33 can be reduced, and the possibility that a parting line generated by core pulling and demolding is exposed on the appearance surface of the door body assembly 30 can be reduced.

It should be noted that, the specific manner of detachably connecting the knob portion 34 to the door inner ring 33 is not limited. For example, one of the catch portion 34 and the door inner ring 33 has an insertion hole, and the other has an insertion portion that is inserted into the insertion hole for insertion and extraction engagement to achieve detachable connection of the door inner ring 33 and the catch portion 34.

The specific dimensions of the catch portion 34 and the recessed area 32a are not limited.
