Furthermore, as shown in fig. 4, the gap 700 communicates with at least the top of the working chamber 302, so that liquid in the direction of the working chamber 302 can flow down directly through the gap 700.

In this embodiment, further, as shown in fig. 1, the drum 300 is transversely provided on the body and is rotatable with respect to the body to treat the laundry, and the rotation axis of the drum 300 extends in the transverse direction. As shown in fig. 4, the entirety of the door cover 402 is located outside the open end 202 and forms the gap 700 with the open end 202. That is, it is necessary to ensure that the whole area of the door cover 402 is located outside the open end 202, so that a gap 700 is formed between the whole area of the door cover 402 and the open end 202 of the cylinder 200, and the influence of the door seal 400 on the liquid falling can be avoided at any position.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the door seal 400 has a bending portion 404, and the door cover 402 is a wall surface of the bending portion 404 facing the opening end 202. A wall surface of the bending portion 404 facing the opening end 202 is ensured to be located outside the opening end 202, so that the bending portion 404 is ensured not to affect the falling, and the amount of the falling liquid is ensured. Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, 6, 7, and 8, the bent portion 404 is a folded edge formed at a peripheral side edge of the door seal 400.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and 4, a space 500 is provided between the cylinder 200 and the working cylinder 300, and the gap 700 is communicated with the space 500 and the working chamber 302, so as to ensure that the folding edge of the door seal 400 does not affect the liquid falling in the space 500. Specifically, the design space 500 is at least partially located at the top of the working chamber 302 in the height direction of the body, so that the liquid located in the partial space 500 can directly flow back to the inside of the working chamber 302 under the action of gravity.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 and 5, the gate seal 400 is further provided with a flow port 406. The overflowing port 406 can further increase the overflowing interface of the liquid in the space 500, promote the falling channel of the liquid in the space 500, ensure the falling liquid amount, promote the washing effect on clothes, and promote the visual effect of the liquid churning impact. Specifically, the flow port 406 is in communication with at least the top of the working chamber 302, and is in communication with a portion of the space 500 above the working chamber 302 and the top of the working chamber 302.

In this embodiment, further, the laundry treating apparatus further includes a door body. Be provided with transparent portion on the door body, the liquid of the inside whereabouts of body can directly impact transparent portion to make user's accessible transparent portion observe strong rivers visual impact, promote visual effect. Specifically, the door glass on the door body defines the transparent portion to simplify the structure of the door body. Further, the door glass is projected toward the side of the working chamber 302 and is located below the space 500 at the top.

In the specific embodiment, the gap between the door seal and the working barrel of the existing washing machine can not meet the water flow passing requirement, and the door seal surface of the door seal extends into the barrel body, so that the water flow is seriously influenced.

Specifically, when the mandrel is operated at a certain rotational speed, a certain amount of water is filled in the space between the cylinder body and the mandrel due to the centrifugal force. Under the action of gravity, a large amount of liquid in the upper space can fall down from a gap between the working cylinder and the door seal and a gap between the cylinder and the door seal. In the related art, the minimum clearance standard between the working barrel and the door seal causes relatively small water flow, and cannot cause strong water flow impact vision.

Therefore, as shown in fig. 1 and 4, the present invention improves the position of the dock seal 400 such that a portion of the dock seal 402 is located on the other side of the open end 202 and forms a gap 700 with the open end 202, or such that the entirety of the dock seal 402 is located on the other side of the open end 202 and forms a gap 700 with the open end 202.

In addition, as shown in fig. 3 and 5, the gate seal 400 of the present invention is provided with the flow passing port 406, which increases the falling interface of the water flow, increases the flow rate of the falling centrifugal water, and can greatly increase the amount of the falling liquid, thereby significantly improving the visual effect.

Specifically, the clothes treatment equipment provided by the invention can be a washing machine, a clothes dryer, a washing and drying integrated machine and the like.
