DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] Preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0036] It should be noted that in the description of the present disclosure, terms indicating directional or positional relationships, such as “upper”, “lower”, “left”, “right” and the like, are based on the directional or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only used for ease of description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed or operated in a specific orientation, and therefore they should not be considered as limitations to the present disclosure.
[0037] In addition, it should also be noted that in the description of the present disclosure, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, terms “arrange”, “install”, “connect” and “connection” should be understood in a broad sense; for example, the connection may be a fixed connection, or may also be a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it may be a direct connection, or an indirect connection implemented through an intermediate medium, or it may be an internal communication between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific situations.
[0038] Based on the problem pointed out in the “BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION” that the hanger may easily fall off the crossbeam of the clothing shaking device during the operation of the existing clothing care apparatus, the present disclosure provides a new crossbeam for a clothing shaking device, a new clothing shaking device and a new clothing care apparatus, aiming at improving the connection stability between the hanger and the crossbeam, and preventing the hanger from falling off the crossbeam during the operation of the clothing care apparatus.
[0039] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the crossbeam includes a body 1 and an elastic clamping member 2 provided on the body 1. The elastic clamping member 2 is configured to be capable of elastically clamping a hanger 3. As can be known from the background art, since the crossbeam is made of a high-hardness material, the connection between the hanger 3 and the crossbeam is unstable, which causes the hanger 3 to easily fall off the crossbeam during the operation of the clothing care apparatus. For this reason, the elastic clamping member 2 is provided on the crossbeam in the present disclosure, and the hanger 3 is clamped and fixed by the elastic clamping member 2, that is, the elastic clamping member 2 can elastically clamp the hanger 3 through its own elasticity, which can improve the connection stability between the hanger 3 and the crossbeam, and prevent the hanger 3 from falling off the crossbeam during the operation of the clothing care apparatus. The elastic clamping member 2 is made of a plastic material, which has a certain elasticity and can realize elastic clamping of the hanger 3. Of course, the elastic clamping member 2 may also be made of other elastic materials such as rubber. Such adjustments and changes to the specific manufacturing materials of the elastic clamping member 2 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present disclosure, and should be defined within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0040] Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the crossbeam further includes a positioning member, which can position the elastic clamping member 2 to the body 1. The positioning member can be configured as a structure in which a positioning hook is matched with a positioning opening, or as a structure in which a snap-fit slot is matched with a snap-fit plate, or as a structure in which a positioning post is matched with a positioning hole, etc. Those skilled in the art may flexibly set the specific structure of the positioning member in practical applications, as long as the elastic clamping member 2 can be positioned to the body 1 by the positioning member.
[0041] In a possible embodiment, the positioning member includes a positioning hook provided on the body 1 and a positioning opening provided on the elastic clamping member 2, and the positioning hook is matched with the positioning opening. That is, the elastic clamping member 2 is positioned to the body 1 through the cooperation of the positioning hook and the positioning opening.
[0042] In another possible embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the positioning member includes a positioning opening 11 provided on the body 1 and a positioning hook 21 provided on the elastic clamping member 2. The positioning hook 21 is matched with the positioning opening 11. That is, the positioning hook 21 cooperates with the positioning opening 11 to position the elastic clamping member 2 to the body 1. It should be noted that although the numbers of the positioning hook 21 and the positioning opening 11 in the figure are both two, this is not restrictive. The numbers of the positioning hook 21 and the positioning opening 11 may also be one, three or four, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific numbers of the positioning hook 21 and the positioning opening 11 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present disclosure, and should be defined within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. In addition, it should be noted that the numbers of the positioning hook 21 and the positioning opening 11 do not necessarily have to be the same. For example, in the figure, two positioning hooks 21 may be simultaneously snap-fitted in an elongated positioning opening 11. Alternatively, three positioning hooks 21 arranged annularly may be simultaneously snap-fitted in a circular positioning opening 11, etc. Those skilled in the art may flexibly adjust the specific number of the positioning hook 21 and the specific number of the positioning opening 11 in practical applications, as long as the elastic clamping member 2 can be positioned to the body 1 through the cooperation of the positioning hook 21 and the positioning opening 11.
[0043] Preferably, as shown in FIG. 3, in order to improve the strength of the positioning hook 21, a reinforcement rib 22 is provided on the positioning hook 21. Through such an arrangement, the connection stability between the positioning hook 21 and the positioning opening 11 can be improved, so that the connection stability between the elastic clamping member 2 and the body 1 can be improved. It should be noted that although only one reinforcement rib 22 is provided on one side of the positioning hook 21 in the figure, this is not restrictive, and a reinforcement rib 22 may also be provided on the other side of the positioning hook 21, or two reinforcement ribs 22 are provided on one side of the positioning hook 21, and so on. Such adjustments and changes to the specific arrangement position and specific number of the reinforcement rib 22 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present disclosure, and should be defined within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0044] Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the elastic clamping member 2 is provided with a support structure 23 on a side facing the body 1, and after the assembly is completed, the support structure 23 elastically abuts against the body 1 so that the positioning hook 21 is hooked tightly on the positioning opening 11. That is, after the assembly is completed, the support structure 23 is in a compressed state, so that the elastic clamping member 2 is subjected to a support reaction force, and under the action of the support reaction force, the positioning hook 21 can be hooked on the positioning opening 11. Through such an arrangement, the elastic clamping member 2 can be tightly fixed to the body 1 to avoid swinging of the elastic clamping member 2 relative to the body 1. The support structure 23 is a support plate formed on the elastic clamping member 2. After the assembly is completed, a bottom of the support plate elastically abuts against the body 1 so that the positioning hook 21 is hooked on the positioning opening 11. Of course, the support structure 23 may also be a support column or other structures formed on the elastic clamping member 2. Such adjustments and changes to the specific structure of the support structure 23 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present disclosure, and should be defined within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0045] In a possible embodiment, a part (i.e., a contact surface 12) of the body 1 that is in contact with the support structure 23 is a flat surface. After the assembly is completed, the support structure 23 is in a compressed state, so that the elastic clamping 2 is subjected to a vertical upward support reaction force, and under the action of the support reaction force, the positioning hook 21 can be hooked on the positioning opening 11.
[0046] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 8, the part (the contact surface 12) of the body 1 that is in contact with the support structure 23 is inclinedly arranged, and an included angle between the inclined direction and a horizontal plane is between 0 and 90 degrees. First, taking the support structure 23 provided on the left side as an example, after the assembly is completed, the support structure 23 is in a compressed state, so that the elastic clamping member 2 is subjected to a leftward and upward diagonal support reaction force. Under the action of this support reaction force, the positioning hook 21 on the left side can be more tightly hooked on the positioning opening 11; second, taking the support structure 23 provided on the right side as an example, after the assembly is completed, the support structure 23 is in a compressed state, so that the elastic clamping member 2 is subjected to a rightward and upward diagonal support reaction force, and under the action of this support reaction force, the positioning hook 21 on the right side can be more tightly hooked on the positioning opening 11. Obviously, as compared with the above embodiment, the positioning hook 21 and the positioning opening 11 are more closely coupled in this preferred embodiment, so that the connection stability between the elastic clamping member 2 and the body 1 is better. It should be noted that by defining that the included angle between the inclined direction of the part (the contact surface 12) of the body 1 that is in contact with the support structure 23 and the horizontal plane is between 0 and 90 degrees, it means that for the support structure 23 provided on the left side, if the part (the contact surface 12) of the body 1 that is in contact with the support structure 23 is an inclined surface, then the included angle (the angle a shown in FIG. 7) between this inclined surface and the horizontal plane is between 0 and 90 degrees, and if the part (the contact surface 12) of the body 1 that is in contact with the support structure 23 is a circular arc surface, then the included angle (the angle a shown in FIG. 7) between a tangent direction of the circular arc surface of the body 1 that is in contact with the support structure 23 and the horizontal plane is between 0 and 90 degrees; and for the support structure 23 provided on the right side, if the part (the contact surface 12) of the body 1 that is in contact with the support structure 23 is an inclined surface, then the included angle (the angle b shown in FIG. 8) between this inclined surface and the horizontal plane is between 0 and 90 degrees, and if the part (the contact surface 12) of the body 1 that is in contact with the support structure 23 is a circular arc surface, then the included angle (the angle b shown in FIG. 8) between a tangent direction of the circular arc surface of the body 1 that is in contact with the support structure 23 and the horizontal plane is between 0 and 90 degrees.
[0047] Hitherto, the technical solutions of the present disclosure have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present disclosure is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present disclosure, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to relevant technical features, and all the technical solutions after these changes or replacements will fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
