Optionally, the door frame 11 also includes at least one middle beam 117, and the two ends of the middle beam 117 are respectively connected with the first side frame 115 and the second side frame 116, which can not only increase the structural strength of the door frame 11, but also can be separated to form a window, For example, the middle beam 117 divides the door frame 11 into the viewing opening 111 and the display opening 112 .

Optionally, a shielding plate 118 is further provided at the bottom of the door frame 11 , and the shielding plate 118 is used to shield structures such as a steam generator installed at the bottom of the nursing box.

There are various ways to install the door glass 5 on the outside of the door frame 11 . For example, the door glass 5 is bonded to the outside of the door frame 11 without affecting the aesthetics of the door body. For another example, the door glass 5 is clamped to the outside of the door frame 11, and the connection is stable and reliable. Optionally, the door glass 5 covers the outer side of the entire door frame 11, which is beneficial to improve the aesthetics of the door body. It can be understood that the “outer side” referred to here refers to the side away from the nursing space 70 , and the “inner side” refers to the side close to the nursing space 70 .

Specifically, the door glass 5 includes a light-transmitting observation area 51 , which is opposite to the observation opening 111 , and the user can observe the care status of the clothes inside the nursing box 7 through the observation area 51 and the observation opening 111 . The observation area 51 can be any shape, for example, the observation area 51 is a rectangular area, a circular area, or the like.

The door glass 5 also includes a shielding area 53. For example, the positions of the door glass 5 other than the observation area 51 are the shielding area 53, and the inner side of the door glass of the shielding area 53 is provided with a light-shielding film, and the light-shielding film can be an ink film layer or a paint film layer. In this way, the structure of the care box 7 other than the observation area 51 can be shielded, thereby improving the appearance of the clothing care machine.

There is a dimming glass 8 inside the door glass 5. For example, referring to FIG. 2, the dimming glass 8 is bonded to the inner surface of the door glass 5 by double-sided tape, so that the installation of the dimming glass 8 is simple and does not affect the door. The beauty of the body appearance. The size of the dimming glass 8 can be larger than the size of the observation area 51 , so that the dimming glass 8 is bonded to the shielding area 53 of the door glass 5 to avoid the double-sided adhesive being exposed outside the door glass 5 and affecting the appearance.

This embodiment does not limit the glass type of the door glass 5 . The door glass 5 may be transparent glass or translucent glass. Optionally, the door glass 5 is translucent glass. When the lighting lamp 3 is turned off, since there is no other light source in the inner tank 72, no light is emitted from the interior of the nursing box at this time, and the observation area 51 of the door glass 5 seen by the user is not visible. It is dark, and it is integrated with the shielding area 53 of the door glass 5 to improve the aesthetics of the door body.

On the basis of the above example, the door panel 1 further includes an inner panel 12 mounted on the inner side of the door frame 11 . The inner panel 12 is provided with a translucent panel 121 opposite to the dimming glass 8 . A light guide frame 13 is arranged therebetween.

Wherein, the inner panel 12 is located inside the door frame 11, which can not only cover the structure in the nursing box, but also improve the structural strength of the door body. The inner panel 12 can be sealed and installed on the inner side of the door frame 11 , for example, a gasket is provided between the inner panel 12 and the door frame 11 , and the inner panel 12 and the door frame 11 are fixedly connected by screws. It should be noted here that, in the present application, the orientation word “inner” refers to the side facing the nursing space 70 , and the orientation word “outer” refers to the side away from the nursing space 70 .

The inner plate 12 is provided with a light-transmitting plate 121 , and the arrangement of the light-transmitting plate 121 is various. In an example, the inner plate 12 and the light-transmitting plate 121 are the same plate; that is, the inner plate 12 is a whole plate structure that can transmit light. For example, the inner plate 12 is a light-transmitting plastic plate, such as a polycarbonate (referred to as PC) plate, a polyethersulfone resin (referred to as PES) plate, etc.; for another example, the inner plate 12 is a light-transmitting glass plate, with good light transmittance, Improve the clarity of user observations. In another example, referring to FIG. 2 , a mounting opening 122 is provided on the inner panel 12 , and a light-transmitting plate 121 is mounted on the mounting opening 122 . Sulfone resin (PES for short) board, etc. Alternatively, a light-transmitting glass plate is installed on the installation opening 122 , and the light-transmitting glass plate is the light-transmitting plate 121 . Installing the transparent glass plate on the installation port 122 in this way can not only improve the light transmittance, but also install the transparent glass plate only in part of the inner panel 12 , which not only helps to reduce costs, but also shields the structure in the nursing box 7 .

In this way, the light of the lighting lamp 3 is emitted to the outside of the care box 7 through the light-transmitting plate 121, the observation opening 111 and the observation area 51, and the user can clearly see the state of the clothes inside the care box 7.

The lighting lamp 3 is divergent in the space between the door glass 5 and the inner panel 12. In order to make the light of the lighting lamp 3 pass through the light-transmitting plate 121 and the light-adjusting glass 8, the light-transmitting plate 121 and the light-adjusting glass 8 A light guide frame 13 is arranged therebetween, and the light guide frame 13 is located in the observation opening 11 to guide the light to pass through the area limited by the light guide frame 13, and avoid the light from being emitted from other areas and should be aesthetically pleasing.

The light guide frame 13 may be a circular frame, an oval frame, or a polygonal frame, for example, a rectangular frame, a hexagonal frame, or the like. The light guide frame 13 is made of a plastic frame, a metal frame, or the like. The light guide frame 13 can be sandwiched between the inner panel 12 and the door glass 5 , or the light guide frame 13 can be bonded to the dimming glass 8 by double-sided adhesive tape 133 , and the connection method is simple and reliable.

In this embodiment, the light guide frame 13 is provided to limit the area where the light of the lighting lamp 3 passes through, so as to prevent the light from being emitted from other areas of the observation opening 111 and affecting the aesthetics of the door body.

In a specific implementation manner, refer to FIG. 4 , wherein FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a light guide frame of a door body provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4 , the light guide frame 13 includes an annular frame body 131 and a front plate 132 disposed on the front side of the annular frame body 131 . A front panel 132 is provided on the front side of the annular frame body 131 , and a double-sided adhesive tape 133 is provided on the front of the front panel 132 for bonding with the door glass 5 .
