The following describes the structure of the handle assembly with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 8, FIG. 13, and FIG. 14.
In a specific implementation, the handle assembly 100 may be applied to a detergent box 200. The handle assembly 100 is connected to a box body 201 of the detergent box 200, to pull out or push in the box body 201.
The handle assembly 100 may include a handle decorating member 10, a handle 20, and a distance adjusting part 30. The distance adjusting part 30 is located between the handle decorating member 10 and the handle 20, and is separately connected to the handle decorating member 10 and the handle 20. The distance adjusting part 30 is configured to adjust a relative distance between the handle 20 and the handle decorating member 10. When the handle decorating member 10 is pressed, the handle decorating member 10 moves toward the handle 20, to reduce the relative distance between the handle decorating member 10 and the handle 20. When the handle decorating member 10 is pressed at a first preset position, the box body 201 is in a locked state. When the handle decorating member 10 is pressed at a second preset position, the locked state of the box body 201 is released.
In view of the above, the handle decorating member 10 is connected to the handle 20 by means of the distance adjusting part 30. When handle decorating member 10 is pressed, the relative distance between the handle decorating member 10 and the handle 20 may be reduced, where when the handle decorating member 10 is at the first preset position, the box body 201 is in the locked state, and when the handle decorating member 10 is pressed to move by a preset stroke to the second position, the locked state of the box body 201 is released. According to the handle assembly 100 provided by embodiments of the present invention, by using the handle decorating member 10 as a trigger region of the handle assembly 100, both integrity and a trigger range of the handle assembly 100 may be taken into account while implementing adjustment of a state of the box body 201 of the detergent box 200.
In a specific implementation, the distance adjusting part 30 may have a plurality of structural forms, as along as the distance adjusting part 30 can connect the handle decorating member 10 and the handle 20, and can adjust the relative distance between the handle decorating member 10 and the handle 20.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the distance adjusting part 30 is a connecting post made of an elastic material such as elastic rubber or a spring. Both ends of the distance adjusting part 30 are connected to the handle 20 and the handle decorating member 10, respectively. When an external force acts on the handle decorating member 10, the connecting post is compressed to produce compressive deformation. When the external force acting on the handle decorating member 10 disappears, the connecting post recovers from the deformation and produces a resilience force. The resilience force may drive the handle decorating member 10 to move in a direction away from the handle 20.
In a specific implementation, there are a plurality of distance adjusting parts 30, and the plurality of distance adjusting parts 30 may be arranged between the handle 20 and the handle decorating member 10 in a relatively uniform manner, so that when the handle decorating member 10 is pressed, the distance adjusting parts 30 can disperse the acting force that acts on the handle decorating member 10, so that the handle decorating member 10 is uniformly stressed to move stably with respect to the handle 20. The actual number of the distance adjusting parts 30 is related to one or more factors such as the specific structure of the handle decorating member 10, the structure of the handle 20, the size of the handle decorating member 10, the size of the handle 20, or actual application requirements.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the distance adjusting part 30 includes a first connecting part 31, an elastic part 32, and a second connecting part 33. The first connecting part 31 is connected to the handle decorating member 10, and extends in a direction toward the handle 20. The elastic part 32 is sleeved on the first connecting part 31. The second connecting part 33 is connected to the handle 20, and is adapted to the first connecting part 31. The elastic part 32 may be a spring, a rubber ring or other elastic and deformable components.
In a specific implementation, the second connecting part 33 extends in a direction away from the handle decorating member 10 to form an accommodating cavity 331. The accommodating cavity 331 is configured to accommodate the first connecting part 31 and the elastic part 32, a side wall of the accommodating cavity 331 is provided with a connecting hole 332, and a size of the accommodating cavity 331 is greater than a diameter of the connecting hole 332. The accommodating cavity 331 has functions of accommodating and bearing the first connecting part 31 and the elastic part 32, and may further guide the movement of the first connecting part 31 with respect to the second connecting part 33. The side wall of the accommodating cavity 331 refers to a wall surface opposite to an opening of the accommodating cavity 331.
In a specific implementation, the accommodating cavity 331 may be in a shape of a cylinder, and a cross section thereof is circular. In this case, an inner diameter of the accommodating cavity 331 is greater than the diameter of the connecting hole 332. The accommodating cavity 331 may also be in the shape of a regular or irregular cube, and a cross section thereof is quadrilateral or polygonal. In this case, a minimum edge length of the accommodating cavity 331 is greater than the diameter of the connecting hole 332. The specific shape of the accommodating cavity 331 may be set according to the shape of an outer surface of the first connecting part 31, as long as the accommodating cavity 331 is adapted to the first connecting part 31.
In a specific implementation, the first connecting part 31 may include a first portion 311 and a second portion 312.
A first end of the first portion 311 is connected to the handle decorating member 10, a second end of the first portion 311 is connected to a first end of the second portion 312, and a size of the first portion 311 is greater than a size of the second portion 312. The second portion 312 passes through the connecting hole 332, and the exterior of the second portion 312 is sleeved with the elastic part 32.
In the embodiments of the present invention, to facilitate connection, an end face of a second end of the second portion 312 is parallel to a vertical direction, the first end of the first portion 311 has an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is configured to connect to the handle decorating member 10, so that the handle decorating member 10 forms a certain included angle with a horizontal plane after the handle decorating member 10 is mounted, to enable a face of a user to face the handle assembly 100, thereby improving user experiences.
In a specific implementation, the first connecting part 31 may further include a third portion 313, the third portion 313 is connected to an outer surface of the first end of the second portion 312, and a projection of the second portion 312 on an end face of the second end of the first portion 311 does not exceed the end face of the second end of the first portion 311.
In an embodiment of the present invention, both the first portion 311 and the second portion 312 are cylindrical, the third portion 313 is ring-shaped and sleeved on the second portion 312, and an outer diameter of the first portion 311 is greater than an outer diameter of the third portion 313. The outer diameter of the third portion 313 is separately greater than an outer diameter of the second portion 312 and the diameter of the connecting hole 332. The exteriors of the third portion 313 and the second portion 312 are sleeved with the elastic part 32.
In a specific implementation, the third portion 313 and the second portion 312 are located in the accommodating cavity 331. The second end of the first portion 311 is located in the accommodating cavity 331, and the first end of the first portion 311 is located outside the accommodating cavity 331.
In another embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, there are a plurality of third portions 313, which are distributed on an outer surface of the second portion 312 at intervals. The third portions 313 may be uniformly distributed on the outer surface of the first end of the second portion 312 in a circumferential direction, and may also be non-uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction. The number of the third portions 313 shown in FIG. 5 is four. It can be understood that the number of the third portions 313 may also be three, six or any other number, and no repeated description is provided herein; and the specific number may be set according to the size of the second portion 312 or actual application requirements. The third portions 313 are distributed on the outer surface of the second portion 312 at intervals, and may reduce friction between the elastic part 32 sleeved on the third portions 313 and the third portions 313 in the event of elastic deformation, thereby improving the smoothness of the movement of the handle decorating member 10 with respect to the handle 20.
In the embodiments of the present invention, an outer surface of the first portion 311 may be provided with a guide rail 3111. When the first connecting part 31 moves with respect to the second connecting part 33, the guide rail 3111 contacts an inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity 331. Because a contact area between the guide rail 3111 and the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity 331 is less than a contact area between the first portion 311 and the accommodating cavity 331, when the first connecting part 31 moves with respect to the second connecting part 33, friction between the first connecting part 31 and the second connecting part 33 may be reduced, thereby further improving the smoothness of the movement of the handle decorating member 10 with respect to the handle 20.
In a specific implementation, the second portion 312 and the handle 20 may be connected by means of snap-fit, and may also be connected by means of a fastener 34 such as a screw. When the second portion 312 and the handle 20 are connected by means of the fastener 34, the second portion 312 is provided with a mounting hole 3121 configured to mount the fastener 34. A size of a portion of the fastener 34 is greater than the diameters of the mounting hole 3121 and the connecting hole 332. For example, a diameter of a cap of the fastener 34 is greater than the diameter of the connecting hole 332, to prevent the fastener 34 from passing through the connecting hole 332 under the action of the elastic force of the elastic part 32.
Because the second portion 312 passes through the connecting hole 332, that is, an inner diameter of the second portion 312 is less than the diameter of the connecting hole 332, the second portion 312 may move with respect to the connecting hole 332. When the handle decorating member 10 is pressed, the second portion 312 of the first connecting part 31 moves with respect to the connecting hole 332 in a direction away from the handle 20, the elastic part 32 is compressed, and the relative distance between the handle decorating member 10 and the handle 20 is reduced gradually. The size of the second portion 312 is greater than the diameter of the connecting hole 332, and therefore, the third portion 313 cannot pass through the connecting hole 332, and a maximum movement distance of the handle decorating member 10 with respect to the handle 20 may be limited.
As the handle decorating member 10 is pressed continuously, the handle decorating member 10 moves continuously with respect to the handle 20. When the elastic part 32 is compressed to the greatest extent, or the third portion 313 is abutted against a side wall where the connecting hole 332 is located so that the relative distance between the handle decorating member 10 and the handle 20 cannot be further reduced, the handle decorating member 10 would push the handle 20 to move together in this case.

In a specific implementation, referring to FIG. 9 to FIG. 12, the handle 20 is provided with a stop part 21, and the stop part 21 faces the box body 201. The stop part 21 may be abutted against a control panel 301, to limit a maximum movement distance of the handle 20 with respect to the panel. The control panel 301 is configured to mount the detergent box 200. Specifically, the control panel 301 is provided with a handle stop surface 303, and when the stop part 21 is abutted against the handle stop surface 303, the handle 20 cannot continue to move with respect to the control panel 301.
In a specific implementation, there may be a plurality of stop parts 21, so that the handle 20 can be abutted against the control panel 301 in a relatively stable manner.
In an embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the handle decorating member 10 is provided with a box body connector 11, and the box body connector 11 is configured to connect the box body 201.

In an embodiment of the present invention, a plane where an opening of the mounting groove 22 is located is flush with a front surface 12 of the handle decorating member 10, so that the appearance of the handle assembly 100 is relatively flat, and the integrity is relatively good.
In a specific implementation, referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, a guide part 13 extends from the handle decorating member 10 toward the handle, and the guide part 13 is configured to guide the handle decorating member 10 to move with respect to the handle. The guide part 13 cooperates with the mounting groove 22 to form an enclosed space. Specifically, an inner wall 23 of the mounting groove 22 cooperates with the guide part 13 to form the enclosed space. The cooperation between the inner wall 23 of the mounting groove 22 and the guide part 13 may guide a movement direction of the handle decorating member 10. Moreover, a gap between the handle decorating member 10 and the handle 20 of the handle assembly 100 may be minimized as far as possible by means of the cooperation between the mounting groove 22 and the guide part 13, thereby improving the integrity of the handle assembly 100.
