Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of clothing processing technology, specifically to a hanging device and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, in order to meet users' needs for zoned washing, some garment processing equipment is equipped with dual or multiple drums. In some garment processing equipment, the drums are hung on the suspension components. When the suspension components suspend at least two drums, the drums are prone to resonance with the suspension components during operation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a suspension component that can reduce or even prevent resonance between itself and the cylinder.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this disclosure provides a suspension member for suspending a first cylinder and a second cylinder of a garment processing device. The side of the suspension member includes a connecting portion for connecting to the housing of the garment processing device. The connecting portion has a supporting edge for abutting against the housing. The length of the supporting edge is greater than 260mm to 300mm.

[0005] Optionally, the length of the supporting edge is less than or equal to 1800mm~1900mm.

[0006] Optionally, the length of the supporting edge is less than or equal to 1890 mm.

[0007] Optionally, the length of the supporting edge is 400mm to 1110mm.

[0008] Optionally, the support edge is provided with main support edges on both sides along the first direction, the main support edges extend along the second direction, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, and the length of the main support edges is less than or equal to 400mm~410mm.

[0009] Optionally, the length of the main support edge is 130mm~150mm.

[0010] Optionally, the supporting edge is provided with secondary supporting edges on both sides along the first direction, the secondary supporting edges extend along the second direction, and the length of the secondary supporting edges is less than the length of the main supporting edge.

[0011] Optionally, the length of the secondary support edge is 60mm~65mm.

[0012] Optionally, a first gap is provided between the main support side and the secondary support side, the first gap causing the main support side and the secondary support side to be spaced apart.

[0013] Optionally, the support edge includes a first auxiliary support edge connected to the secondary support edge. The first auxiliary support edge extends along a first direction and is arranged along a second direction on a side away from the main support edge. The length of the first auxiliary support edge is 55mm to 65mm.

[0014] Optionally, a second gap is provided between the two first auxiliary support edges, the second gap causing the two first auxiliary support edges to be spaced apart.

[0015] Optionally, the support edge includes a second auxiliary support edge, which extends along a first direction and is arranged along a second direction on the side near the main support edge. The length of the second auxiliary support edge is 170mm to 280mm.

[0016] Optionally, a third gap is provided between the two second auxiliary support edges, the third gap causing the two second auxiliary support edges to be spaced apart.

[0017] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, a garment handling apparatus is provided, including the hanging member as described above.

[0018] Optionally, the garment handling device includes a box and a third cylinder, the suspension member is disposed on the top of the box, and the first cylinder and the second cylinder are located above the third cylinder.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, in the suspension component provided in this disclosure, since the suspension component is used to suspend the first cylinder and the second cylinder, the load on the suspension component is relatively high, making it prone to resonance with either the first or the second cylinder. This disclosure utilizes a connecting part to connect with the housing, thus the housing can support the connecting part. By setting the length of the supporting side to be greater than 260mm~300mm, the supporting effect of the housing on the suspension component can be improved, thereby increasing the stiffness of the suspension component. This setting increases the natural frequency of the suspension component, allowing its natural frequency to be far removed from the operating frequency of the cylinder during high-speed rotation. Therefore, the suspension component of this disclosure can reduce or even avoid resonance with the cylinder.

[0020] Other features and advantages of this disclosure will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0032] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," and "right" are used based on the definition of a garment handling device. The up / down direction can be referenced to the direction of gravity of the garment handling device or hanging component; the left / right direction can be referenced to the width direction of the garment handling device; and in the front / back direction, "front" can be understood as the side of the garment handling device facing the user, and "back" as the side away from the user. The garment handling device's door is typically located on the front side of the device. Additionally, the first and second directions can be referenced... Figures 1 to 7In the drawings, when the suspension component of this disclosure is applied to a garment processing device, the first direction may correspond to the left-right direction of the garment processing device, and the second direction may correspond to the front-back direction of the garment processing device. "Inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself. The terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another and do not have sequential or importance implications. Furthermore, in the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements, which will not be repeated here.

[0033] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, a suspension member 100 is provided, with reference to... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the suspension member 100 is used to suspend the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 of the clothing processing equipment. The side of the suspension member 100 includes a connecting part 101, which is used to connect with the housing 3 of the clothing processing equipment. The connecting part 101 has a supporting edge 102, which is used to abut against the housing 3. The length of the supporting edge 102 is greater than 260mm~300mm.

[0034] Through the above technical solution, in the suspension member 100 provided in this disclosure, since the suspension member 100 is used to suspend the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2, the load on the suspension member 100 is relatively high, making it prone to resonance with either the first cylinder 1 or the second cylinder 2. This disclosure utilizes the connecting part 101 to connect with the housing 3, so that the housing 3 can support the connecting part 101. By setting the length of the supporting edge 102 to be greater than 260mm~300mm, the supporting effect of the housing 3 on the suspension member 100 can be improved, thereby increasing the stiffness of the suspension member 100. As a result, the above-mentioned setting increases the natural frequency of the suspension member 100, so that the natural frequency of the suspension member 100 can be far away from the operating frequency of the cylinder when it rotates at high speed. Therefore, the suspension member 100 of this disclosure can reduce or even avoid resonance with the cylinder.

[0035] It should be noted that the side of the suspension member 100 has a connecting part 101, that is, the side of the suspension member 100 is connected to the housing 3 through the connecting part 101. The supporting edge 102 of the connecting part 101 refers to the side of the connecting part 101 that is in contact with the housing 3. The length of the supporting edge 102 refers to the circumferential dimension of the supporting edge 102 around the side.

[0036] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the suspension member 100 can be constructed as a plate and has thickness in the vertical direction. Designing the suspension member 100 as a plate helps to save the arrangement space of the suspension member 100 and facilitates the suspension of the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 on the suspension member 100. In some embodiments, the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 can be suspended below the suspension member 100.

[0037] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the length of the support edge 102 can be less than or equal to 1800mm to 1900mm. This avoids the support edge 102 being too long, which could affect the arrangement of other components on the housing 3. In some embodiments, the length of the support edge 102 can be less than or equal to 1890mm.

[0038] In some embodiments, the housing 3 can be constructed as a rectangular housing 3, and the suspension member 100 can be constructed as a rectangular plate. When the length of the supporting side 102 is equal to 1890 mm, the length of the supporting side 102 is equal to the perimeter of the suspension member 100. The suspension member 100 can have a length in the first direction, which can be 540 mm, and the suspension member 100 can have a width in the second direction, which can be 405 mm. At this time, refer to... Figure 2 As shown, the housing 3 may include a left side panel 31, a right side panel 32, a front side panel 33, and a rear side panel 34, and the aforementioned support edge 102 may abut against the left side panel 31, the right side panel 32, the front side panel 33, and the rear side panel 34.

[0039] In some implementations, reference Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the length of the support edge 102 can be 400mm to 1110mm, for example, 526mm, 886mm, 690mm, 928mm, 1108mm, etc. This can balance improving the rigidity of the suspension component 100 and saving the arrangement space of the suspension component 100.

[0040] In some implementations, reference Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the support edge 102 has main support edges 1021 on both sides along the first direction. The main support edges 1021 extend along the second direction, meaning they have a length in the second direction. The first and second directions are perpendicular to each other, and the length of the main support edges 1021 can be less than or equal to 400mm to 410mm. Thus, the portion of the connecting part 101 with the main support edges 1021 can primarily connect to the housing 3. Setting the length of the main support edges 1021 to less than or equal to 400mm to 410mm can maximize the support effect of the housing 3 on the suspension member 100. In some embodiments, the length of the main support edges 1021 can be less than or equal to 405mm; this disclosure does not impose a limitation on this.

[0041] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, the length of the main support edge 1021 can be 130mm to 150mm, for example, 140mm, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0042] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3As shown, the support edge 102 can be provided with secondary support edges 1022 on both sides along the first direction. The secondary support edges 1022 extend along the second direction, that is, the secondary support edges 1022 have length in the second direction. The length of the secondary support edges 1022 can be less than the length of the main support edge 1021. In this way, both the main support edge 1021 and the secondary support edges 1022 can abut against the two sides of the housing 3 in the first direction, thereby improving the support effect of the housing 3 on the suspension member 100. Designing the length of the main support edge 1021 to be larger allows the main support edge 1021 to play a major abutment role, while designing the length of the secondary support edges 1022 to be smaller can balance the support effect and save space.

[0043] In some embodiments, the length of the secondary support edge 1022 can be 60mm to 65mm, for example, 63mm, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0044] In some embodiments, when the hanging member 100 is applied to a garment handling device, reference is made to... Figure 3 As shown, the main support side 1021 can be set in front of the secondary support side 1022, that is, the main support side 1021 can be set in front and the secondary support side 1022 can be set in back. This disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0045] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, a first gap 103 can be provided between the main support edge 1021 and the secondary support edge 1022. The first gap 103 makes the main support edge 1021 and the secondary support edge 1022 spaced apart. In this way, the first gap 103 can eliminate the need for the connecting part 101 between the main support edge 1021 and the secondary support edge 1022 to connect with the housing 3.

[0046] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, the support edge 102 may include a first auxiliary support edge 1023 connected to the secondary support edge 1022. The first auxiliary support edge 1023 extends along a first direction and is arranged along a second direction on the side away from the main support edge 1021. That is, the first auxiliary support edge 1023 has a length in the first direction. When the above-mentioned hanging member is applied to the clothing processing equipment, the first auxiliary support edge 1023 can be arranged on the rear side of the housing. The length of the first auxiliary support edge 1023 can be 55mm to 65mm, for example, 60mm, and this disclosure does not limit it. Here, by adding the first auxiliary support edge 1023, the support effect of the housing 3 on the hanging member 100 can be further improved.

[0047] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3As shown, a second notch 104 can be provided between the two first auxiliary support edges 1023, and the second notch 104 makes the two first auxiliary support edges 1023 spaced apart. In this way, the second notch 104 can eliminate the need for the connecting part 101 between the two first auxiliary support edges 1023 to connect with the housing 3.

[0048] In some embodiments, reference Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the support edge 102 may include a second auxiliary support edge 1024. The second auxiliary support edge 1024 extends along a first direction and is arranged along a second direction on the side near the main support edge 1021. That is, the second auxiliary support edge 1024 has a length in the first direction. When the above-mentioned hanging member is applied to the clothing processing equipment, the second auxiliary support edge 1024 can be arranged on the front side of the housing. The length of the second auxiliary support edge 1024 can be 170mm to 280mm, for example, 180mm, 270mm, etc., and this disclosure does not limit it. Here, by adding the second auxiliary support edge 1024, the support effect of the housing 3 on the hanging member 100 can be further improved.

[0049] In some embodiments, reference Figures 3 to 6 As shown, a third notch 105 can be provided between the two second auxiliary support edges 1024, and the third notch 105 can allow the two second auxiliary support edges 1024 to be spaced apart. In this way, the third notch 105 can eliminate the need for the connecting part 101 between the two second auxiliary support edges 1024 to connect with the housing 3.

[0050] In some embodiments, the length of the main support edge 1021 can be referenced. Figure 4 The length of L1, the secondary support edge 1022, can be referenced. Figure 4 The length of L2, the first auxiliary support edge 1023, can be referenced. Figure 4 The length of L3, the second auxiliary support edge 1024, can be referenced. Figure 4 L4 in the middle.

[0051] In some embodiments, reference Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the housing 3 may include a left side panel 31 and a right side panel 32, wherein the main support edge 1021 may abut on both the left side panel 31 and the right side panel 32. In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the left side plate 31 and the right side plate 32 may also abut against the aforementioned secondary support edge 1022. In some embodiments, the box body 3 may include a front side plate 33 and a rear side plate 34. The rear side plate 34 may abut against the aforementioned first auxiliary support edge 1023, and the front side plate 33 may abut against the aforementioned second auxiliary support edge 1024.

[0052] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3As shown, the suspension component may include a main support edge 1021, a secondary support edge 1022, a first auxiliary support 1023, and a second auxiliary support edge 1024.

[0057] In some embodiments, the connecting part 101 can be connected to the housing 3 by fasteners, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0058] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, a garment processing apparatus is provided, including the hanging member 100 as described above.
