The first rotating seat 12 includes a main body, which is configured as a narrow and long plate-like structure, and a first rotating base 121 is provided on one side thereof to cooperate with the rotating connection part on the first fixed seat 11.

A second rotating base 221 is also provided on the main body, and the second rotating base 221 is used to be rotatably connected to the second fixed seat 21.

[0073] In this embodiment, the structure of the second fixed seat 21 is the same as that of the first fixed seat 11, or, alternatively, part of the structure of the second fixed seat 21 may be partially different from that of the first fixed seat 11 according to the requirement of its cooperation with the second component, but the functions of the corresponding parts are the same; the second rotating seat 22 has the same structure as the first rotating seat 12, and the specific structure of the second mounting seat 20 will not be described in detail here.

[0074] Preferably, if Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the telescopic tube 50 is also included. The telescopic tube 50 is arranged in the installation space. The telescopic tube 50 is preferably a corrugated tube, which can be connected to the water inlet or drainage pipeline. Alternatively, the corrugated tube is used as a protective tube and is sleeved on the outside of part of the pipeline to protect the pipeline. In this case, it is not part of the waterway.

[0075] Specifically, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the connecting rod structure 30 includes:

[0076] A first connecting rod 31, a first end of the first connecting rod 31 is hinged to the first mounting seat 10;

The first connecting rod 31 and the third connecting rod 33 are hinged at both ends of the second connecting rod 32, and the first connecting rod 31 and the third connecting rod 33 form an angle with the second connecting rod 32, and the size of the angle can be changed with the relative movement of the first mounting seat 10 and the second mounting seat 20, so as to realize the telescopic length of the entire connecting rod structure 30. Preferably, in other embodiments, the connecting rod structure 30 can also be provided with more connecting rods, such as four connecting rods, five connecting rods, etc., which can be set as needed.

[0079] Alternatively, the connecting rod structure 30 may be replaced by a structure similar to the connecting rod structure 30. For example, the connecting rod structure 30 may be replaced by a drag chain structure, and a connecting cavity for setting up a pipeline or line is formed inside the drag chain structure.

[0080] In this embodiment, a fixing structure is provided on the first connecting rod 31 and / or the second connecting rod 32 and / or the third connecting rod 33, and the fixing structure is used to fix the pipeline and / or the line. Preferably, the fixing structure is provided on the three connecting rods at the same time to make the fixation of the pipeline and / or the line more reliable and enable the pipeline and / or the line to be arranged along the connecting rod structure 30.

[0081] Preferably, the fixing structure includes a first clamping structure for fixing the line, and / or a second clamping structure for fixing the pipeline. In this embodiment, the first clamping structure and the second clamping structure are provided at the same time.

[0082] Furthermore, the first connecting rod 31, the second connecting rod 32 and the third connecting rod 33 are constructed as a plate-like structure. The connecting rod structure 30 formed by connecting the three includes a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface. A first clamping structure is formed on the first mounting surface for fixing circuits, such as power supply and control circuits, etc.; a second clamping structure is formed on the second mounting surface for fixing pipelines, such as water inlet and drainage pipelines, etc. The first clamping structure and the second clamping structure are respectively formed on two surfaces of the connecting rod structure 30 to separate the waterway and the circuit to avoid mutual influence between water and electricity.

[0083] like Figure 3 As shown, the first clamping structure preferably includes a high-voltage clamping structure 301 for fixing the power supply line, and a low-voltage clamping structure 302 for fixing the control line, so as to achieve separation of high-voltage and low-voltage, make the line layout neater, and avoid mutual interference between high-voltage and low-voltage.

[0084] The second clamping structure includes a water pipe clamping groove for clamping the water pipe. Preferably, the water pipe clamping groove is simultaneously provided on the first connecting rod 31, the second connecting rod 32 and the third connecting rod 33, so that the water pipe can be arranged along the connecting rod structure 30. In this embodiment, a pipe joint 34 is provided on the waterway, and the pipe joint 34 is connected to the waterway as a part of the waterway. Preferably, the second connecting rod 32 is located at the low point of the connecting rod structure 30, and the pipe joint 34 is provided on the second connecting rod. The water pipe is divided into two parts, which are clamped on the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 respectively, and then connected to the pipe joint 34 at the same time.

[0085] like Figure 4 As shown, when a pipe joint 34 is provided, a water pipe slot does not need to be provided on the second connecting rod 32. Further, in order to cooperate with the installation of the pipe joint 34, a first water pipe slot 304 is provided on the first connecting rod 31 near its first end, and a second water pipe slot 303 is provided near its second end (near the position of the second connecting rod 32). The pipe joint 34 is located at the lower side of the second connecting rod 32, and the second water pipe slot 303 is formed to protrude toward the lower side of the first connecting rod 31, so as to facilitate the pipe 60 to pass through the second water pipe slot 303 and connect with the pipe joint 34. In this embodiment, the third connecting rod 33 and the first connecting rod 31 form a symmetrical structure, and are symmetrically provided at both ends of the second connecting rod 32.

[0086] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the pipe connector 34 provided by the present invention includes a connecting portion, in which a flow channel 341 is formed. The flow channel 341 is used for liquid circulation. In the present embodiment, the flow channel 341 is connected to the water circuit for water circulation. Preferably, the flow channel 341 is a tubular structure arranged along the extension direction of the second connecting rod 32, and its two ends are respectively used to communicate with the pipeline 60.

[0087] The pipe joint 34 also includes an air cavity 342, which is located on the upper side of the flow channel 341 and is connected to the flow channel 341 through a connecting hole 343. Preferably, the aperture of the connecting hole 343 is relatively small, and the aperture of the connecting hole 343 is smaller than the internal size of the air cavity 342, that is, the cross-sectional size of the connecting hole 343 is smaller than the cross-sectional size of the air cavity 342. When water flows in the flow channel 341, due to the presence of air in the air cavity 342, water will not enter the air cavity 342, or a small amount of water will enter the air cavity 342. Since the air cavity 342 is located on the upper side of the flow channel 341, when the water level in the flow channel 341 decreases, the water in the air cavity 342 will flow back into the flow channel 341 under the action of gravity; when the ambient temperature decreases, the air in the air cavity 342 shrinks, and the water in the flow channel 341 expands when it freezes, and a part of it will enter the air cavity 342 through the connecting hole 343, thereby preventing the expansion of the frozen water from causing the pipeline to rupture. Since the pipe joint 34 is located at the lowest point of the pipe, a small amount of water remaining in the pipe will remain in the flow channel 341 of the pipe joint 34, thereby preventing ice from affecting the entire pipe.

[0088] Preferably, a plurality of air cavities 342 are provided, each of which is connected to the flow channel 341 via a connecting hole 343. The plurality of air cavities 342 are independently provided, which can improve the ability to alleviate the expansion of water when it freezes, and effectively avoid the bursting of the pipeline due to the expansion of water when it freezes.

[0089] Preferably, if Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the pipeline installation structure 40 can also be constructed as a sleeve assembly, that is, the first part 41 and the second part 42 are both constructed as a cylindrical structure, which are put together and can slide relative to each other. Among them, the first part 41 and the second part 42 can be formed integrally with the first mounting seat 10 and the second mounting seat 20 respectively to simplify the assembly process. Further, a guide structure is arranged in the axial direction on the first part 41 and the second part 42, for example, the radial dimension of the first part 41 is smaller than the radial dimension of the second part 42, the first part 41 extends into the second part 42, a groove is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the first part 41 along its axial direction, and a protrusion is arranged on the inner peripheral wall of the corresponding second part 42 along its axial direction, the protrusion extends into the groove and can slide with each other, and guides the sliding of the first part 41 and the second part 42, preferably, two grooves and two protrusions are arranged; it is easy to think that a protrusion can also be arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the first part 41, and a groove can be arranged on the inner peripheral wall of the second part 42.

[0090] Alternatively, two or more pipeline installation structures 40 may be provided at the same time to facilitate the installation of different pipelines or lines. For example, two pipeline installation structures 40 may be provided, and the two pipeline installation structures 40 may adopt different structures or the same structure. Of course, more pipeline installation structures 40 may be provided as needed.

[0091] Preferably, the pipe joint 34 can be provided separately as a connecting head of the pipe, so that the pipe can have the function of preventing freezing and cracking. Alternatively, the pipe joint 34 can also be provided on the pipe mounting structure 40, preferably on the second part 42, and further, the pipe joint 34 can be formed integrally with the second part 42. The pipe joint 34 is located at the lower side of the second part 42, so that it is located at a low position connected to the waterway, and can play the function of preventing freezing and cracking.

[0092] In another embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the first part 41 of the pipeline mounting structure 40 includes a plurality of first sliding rods 411 connected to the first mounting seat 10, and a first sliding ring 412 connected to the first sliding rods 411. Preferably, the plurality of first sliding rods 411 are evenly distributed along the same circumference, the first ends of the plurality of first sliding rods 411 are fixedly connected to the first mounting seat 10, and the second ends of the plurality of first sliding rods 411 are circumferentially distributed and connected to the first sliding ring 412.

[0093] The second part 42 of the pipeline mounting structure 40 includes a plurality of second sliding rods 421 connected to the second mounting seat 20, and a second sliding ring 422 connected to the second sliding rods 421. Preferably, the plurality of second sliding rods 421 are evenly distributed along the same circumference, the first ends of the plurality of second sliding rods 421 are fixedly connected to the second mounting seat 20, and the second ends of the plurality of second sliding rods 421 are circumferentially distributed and connected to the second sliding ring 422.

[0094] The first slide ring 412 is slidably mounted on the second slide bar 421, and the second slide ring 422 is slidably mounted on the first slide bar 411. The first slide ring 412 is located between the second slide ring 422 and the second mounting seat 20, and the second slide ring 422 is located between the first slide ring 412 and the first mounting seat 10. The first slide ring 412 and the second slide ring 422 are mutually limited, and the spaces between the plurality of first slide bars 411 and the plurality of second slide bars 421 together constitute the installation space. The first part 41 and the second part 42 can achieve overall expansion and contraction through relative sliding, change the length of the pipeline mounting structure 40, that is, change the length of the installation space, and through the mutual limitation of the first slide ring 412 and the second slide ring 422, the first part 41 and the second part 42 cannot be separated.

[0095] The present invention also provides a clothes processing device, such as Fig. 9 As shown, including:

[0096] Frame 2, frame 2 is provided with a plurality of processing barrel installation positions for installing clothing processing barrels;

[0097] The clothes treatment bucket includes a drawer-type treatment bucket 1, which is slidably connected to a frame 2 and can be drawn out from the frame 2 for putting in or collecting clothes, or pushed into the frame 2. The drawer-type treatment bucket 1 constitutes a first component, the frame 2 constitutes a second component, and the above-mentioned pipeline bearing structure is arranged between the first component and the second component, that is, the pipeline bearing structure is connected between the drawer-type treatment bucket 1 and the frame 2.

[0098] The first mounting seat 10 is installed on the drawer-type treatment barrel 1, and the second mounting seat 20 is installed on the frame 2. The drawer-type treatment barrel 1 is pulled out from the front side of the frame 2, and the second mounting seat 20 is installed on the rear side of the frame 2. When the drawer-type treatment barrel 1 is pulled out or pushed, the pipeline bearing structure follows its movement to extend or contract as a whole.

[0099] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first mounting seat 10 is installed on the left edge of the drawer-type processing bucket 1, and the second mounting seat 20 is installed on the right edge of the drawer-type processing bucket 1. When the drawer-type processing bucket 1 is pulled, the first rotating seat 12 and the second rotating seat 22 rotate, and the connecting rod structure 30 and the pipeline mounting structure 40 extend. When the drawer-type processing bucket 1 is pushed, the first rotating seat 12 and the second rotating seat 22 reverse, and the connecting rod structure 30 and the pipeline mounting structure 40 shorten.
