Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a technical field of washing equipment, and more particularly to a laundry treatment device.
  • Most clothes dryers have a filtering mesh located at an air outlet supported by an inner drum. According to instructions for use, after being used for a corresponding period, the filtering mesh needs to be taken out for cleaning debris and flocks thereon, and if not, the efficiency of drying clothes of the clothes dryer will be influenced.
  • the filtering mesh is usually forgotten to be placed back to its original position, and then the clothes dryer will operate without the filtering mesh during the next operation thereof, such that the debris and flocks enter the interior of the machine along with the airflow, and thus the machine may be prone to malfunction.
  • DE 44 07 914 A1 discloses a laundry treatment device comprising a cabinet, an inner drum disposed in the cabinet and having an air outlet and an opening, a cover disposed to the cabinet and configured to open or close the opening, a position limiter switchable between a first position and a second position and a filter assembly detachably disposed at the air outlet.
  • Embodiments of the present disclosure seek to solve at least one of the problems existing in the related art to at least some extent. For that reason, the present disclosure provides a laundry treatment device, which prevents a filter assembly thereof from being forgotten to be mounted.
  • the laundry treatment device includes a cabinet; an inner drum disposed in the cabinet and having an air outlet and an opening; a cover disposed to the cabinet and configured to open or close the opening; a position limiter switchable between a first position and a second position and having a rod shape, in which both ends of the position limiter are configured to be a fixed end and a free end respectively, when the position limiter is located at the first position, the free end of the position limiter extends into the opening to stop the cover from closing the opening, and when the position limiter is located at the second position, the free end of the position limiter moves out from the opening, and the cover is configured to close the opening; a reset member configured to constantly apply a pushing force on the position limiter in a direction towards the first position; and a filter assembly detachably disposed at the air outlet, in which when the filter assembly is removed from the air outlet, the position limiter is located at the first position, and when the filter assembly is mounted at the air outlet, the filter assembly is configured to push
  • the position limiter is switchable between the second position and the first position where the position limiter stops the cover from closing the air outlet, and thereby the position limiter may be used to remind the user that the filter assembly is not mounted at the air outlet, so as to avoid machine malfunctions of the laundry treatment device caused by the debris and flocks entering the cabinet due to the filter assembly forgotten to be mounted, thus improving the security and practicality of the laundry treatment device.
  • an air passage is provided between the inner drum and the cabinet, the air passage is communicated with the air outlet, and the position limiter is disposed in the air passage and located at a position close to the air outlet.
  • the fixed end of the position limiter is pivotably connected with an outer wall of the inner drum, such that the free end of the position limiter is configured to extend into the opening.
  • one of the fixed end and the inner drum has a pivoting hole, and the other one thereof has a pivoting shaft configured to be fitted with the pivoting hole.
  • the outer wall of the inner drum is provided with a support seat, the pivoting shaft is disposed to the support seat, and the support seat is provided with a limiting baffle, in which when the position limiter is located at the first position, the limiting baffle abuts against the position limiter.
  • the reset member is configured to be a torsion spring fitted over the pivoting shaft.
  • an end surface of the free end of the position limiter is configured to be an arc-shaped surface.
  • a sectional area of the position limiter decreases gradually.
  • a free end of the position limiter is provided with a label portion, and when the position limiter is located at the first position, the label portion is located in the opening.
  • relative terms such as “front”, “rear”, “right”, “left”, “inner”, “outer”, “lower”, “upper”, “horizontal”, “vertical”, “above”, “below”, “up”, “top”, “bottom” as well as derivative thereof (e.g., “horizontally”, “downwardly”, “upwardly”, etc.) should be construed to refer to the orientation as then described or as shown in the drawings under discussion. These relative terms are for convenience of description and do not require that the present disclosure be constructed or operated in a particular orientation.
  • first and second are used herein for purposes of description and are not intended to indicate or imply relative importance or significance or to imply the number of indicated technical features.
  • the feature defined with “first” and “second” may comprise one or more of this feature.
  • a plurality of' means two or more than two, unless specified otherwise.
  • the terms “mounted,” “connected,” “coupled,” “fixed” and the like are used broadly, and may be, for example, fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; may also be mechanical or electrical connections; may also be direct connections or indirect connections via intervening structures; may also be inner communications of two elements, which can be understood by those skilled in the art according to specific situations.

  • the position limiter 140 may be used to remind the user that the filter assembly 160 is not mounted to the air outlet 121, so as to avoid machine malfunctions of the laundry treatment device 100 caused by the debris and flocks entering the cabinet due to the filter assembly 160 forgotten to be mounted, thereby improving the security and practicality of the laundry treatment device 100.
  • the position limiter 140 is switchable between the second position and the first position where the position limiter 140 stops the cover from closing the air outlet, and thereby the position limiter 140 may be used to remind the user that the filter assembly 160 is not mounted to the air outlet 121, so as to avoid the machine malfunctions of the laundry treatment device 100 caused by the debris and flocks entering the cabinet due to the filter assembly 160 forgotten to be mounted, thus improving the security and practicality of the laundry treatment device 100.
  • an air passage 170 is provided between the inner drum 120 and the cabinet, the air passage 170 is communicated with the air outlet 121, and the position limiter 140 is disposed in the air passage 170 and located at a position close to the air outlet 121.
