[0054] It should also be noted that the terms "include," "comprises," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product or system comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such product or system. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprises a..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the product or system comprising the element.

[0055] The present invention utilizes a pipeline support structure to install pipelines and circuits between two relatively moving components. This allows the pipelines and circuits to move with the components while remaining well protected, minimizing the impact of movement on the pipelines and improving stability. It also enables pipeline separation for enhanced safety. Furthermore, the mounting structure is easy to install, compact, and suitable for use in confined spaces, broadening its applicability. The present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0056] The present invention provides a clothes processing device, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 9 Shown, including:

[0057] Frame 2, frame 2 is provided with a plurality of processing barrel installation positions for installing clothing processing barrels;

[0058] The laundry treatment tub includes a treatment tub 1, which is push-pullably connected to a frame 2. It can be pulled out of the frame 2 to drop or collect laundry, or pushed back into the frame 2. The treatment tub 1 constitutes the first component, and the frame 2 constitutes the second component. A pipeline support structure is provided between the first and second components, that is, the pipeline support structure is connected between the treatment tub 1 and the frame 2.

[0059] First connector 10 is mounted on treatment vat 1, and second connector 20 is mounted on frame 2. Treatment vat 1 is pulled out from the front of frame 2, and second connector 20 is mounted on the rear of frame 2. When treatment vat 1 is pulled out or pushed, the pipeline support structure follows its movement, extending or contracting as a whole, changing its travel. Furthermore, the pipeline support structure is connected to the sides of treatment vat 1 and frame 2, so that it does not occupy space in the direction of treatment vat 1's movement.

[0060] Specifically, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the pipeline support structure includes:

[0061] The first connecting seat 10 is used to be rotatably mounted on the processing barrel 1.

[0062] The second connecting base 20 is used for being rotatably mounted on the frame 2;

[0063] The support assembly is connected between the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 20 and is used to support the pipeline and / or line. It can change the stroke as the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat rotate, that is, when the processing barrel 1 and the frame 2 move relative to each other, the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 20 rotate and synchronously change the distance between the two. The support assembly changes the stroke as the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 20 rotate, that is, changes the length of the pipeline and / or line between the processing barrel 1 and the frame 2 by telescoping or bending to adapt to the change in the distance between the two.

[0064] The first fixing seat 11 and the first rotating seat 12 constitute a first connecting seat 10, and the first rotating seat 12 is rotatably connected to the first fixing seat 11;

[0065] The second fixing seat 21 is further included. The second fixing seat 21 and the second rotating seat 22 constitute a second connecting seat 20 . The second rotating seat 22 is rotatably connected to the second fixing seat 21 .

[0066] The first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 20 are connected through a support assembly, which includes: a pipeline mounting structure, which is rotatably connected to the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 20 respectively, and is used to fix pipelines and lines. Preferably, the pipeline mounting structure is a connecting rod structure 30, which can extend or contract with the relative movement of the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 20.

[0067] The support assembly also includes: a pipeline installation structure 40, including a first part 41 connected to the first connecting seat 10 and a second part 42 connected to the second connecting seat 20, the first part 41 and the second part 42 are slidingly connected, and an installation space for pipeline setting is formed on the pipeline installation structure 40.

[0068] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the first connecting base 10 includes:

[0069] The first fixed base 11 is used for fixed connection with the treatment barrel 1. The first fixed base 11 is provided with a fixed connection portion. Preferably, the fixed connection portion is constructed as a plate-like structure, including multiple through holes, and can be fixedly connected to the treatment barrel 1 by bolts or other connecting members. The fixed connection portion is provided with a rotating connection portion for rotationally connecting with the first rotating base 12.

[0070] The first connecting base 10 also includes a first rotating base 12, which is rotatably connected to the first fixed base 11. The first rotating base 12 includes a main body, which is constructed as a narrow, long plate-like structure. On one side of the main body is a first rotating base 121 that cooperates with the rotating connection portion on the first fixed base 11. Preferably, ribs are provided between the first rotating base 121 and the main body to increase the strength of the main body. The first rotating base 121 and the rotating connection portion are rotatably connected via a rotating shaft, allowing the first rotating base 12 to rotate relative to the first fixed base 11. Preferably, in other embodiments, two first fixed bases 11 can be provided, with the two first fixed bases 11 spaced a certain distance apart and arranged vertically up and down. Correspondingly, two first rotating bases 121 are provided on the first rotating base 12, and the two first fixed bases 11 and the two first rotating bases 121 correspond one-to-one to form two pairs of rotating cooperation. Furthermore, the two pairs of rotating cooperation are connected by a connecting shaft to facilitate assembly.

[0071] like Figure 7 As shown, the first rotating seat 12 also includes: a first rotating connection portion 122 connected to the connecting rod structure 30, the first rotating connection portion 122 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod structure 30, and the first rotating connection portion 122 is at the upper end of the main body, preferably including two supporting portions, the two supporting portions are arranged oppositely and spaced a certain distance apart, and the ends of the two supporting portions are each provided with a rotating connection hole, the axes of the two rotating connection holes are collinear, the end of the connecting rod structure 30 extends between the two supporting portions, and is penetrated by a pin or other structure through the two rotating connection holes and the connecting rod structure 30 to achieve a rotating connection. It is easy to imagine that only one support portion can be provided to achieve a rotating connection with the connecting rod structure 30.

[0072] The first rotating seat 12 also includes: a first fixing portion 123 connected to the first part 41, the first fixing portion 123 is arranged at the lower end of the main body, and a through hole connected to the installation space is provided on the first fixing portion 123, and a water pipe or line can pass through the through hole into the installation space.

[0073] Preferably, when multiple telescopic parts are provided, other mounting parts may be provided on the main body between the first rotating connection part 122 and the first fixed part 123 for installing more pipeline mounting structures 40 or other structures.

[0074] The second connecting base 20 includes:

[0075] The second fixing seat 21 is used for fixed connection with the frame 2;

[0076] The second rotating seat 22 is rotatably connected to the second fixed seat 21.

[0077] The second rotating base 22 has the same structure as the first rotating base 12 and includes a main body with a second hinged portion 222 connected to the connecting rod structure 30, hingedly connected to one end of the connecting rod structure 30; and / or a second fixed portion 223 connected to the second portion 42, with a through hole provided in the second fixed portion 223 that communicates with the installation space. The main body also includes a second rotating base 221, which is rotatably connected to the second fixed base 21.

[0078] In this embodiment, the structure of the second fixed seat 21 is the same as that of the first fixed seat 11, or, 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 requirements of its cooperation with the frame 2, 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 connecting seat 20 will not be described in detail here.

[0079] Preferably, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the apparatus further includes a telescopic tube 50, which is disposed within the installation space. The telescopic tube 50 is preferably a corrugated tube that can be connected to the water inlet or drain pipe. Alternatively, the corrugated tube can serve as a protective tube, sheathed around the outside of a portion of the pipe to protect it. In this case, the bellows does not constitute part of the waterway.

[0080] Specifically, if Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the support assembly includes a connecting rod structure 30, and the connecting rod structure 30 includes:

[0081] A first connecting rod 31, a first end of the first connecting rod 31 is rotatably connected to the first connecting seat 10;

[0082] a second connecting rod 32, wherein a first end of the second connecting rod 32 is rotatably connected to a second end of the first connecting rod 31;

[0083] The third connecting rod 33 has a first end that is rotatably connected to the second end of the second connecting rod 32, and a second end that is rotatably connected to the second connecting base 20. Preferably, the first connecting rod 31, the second connecting rod 32, and the third connecting rod 33 are connected by a rotating shaft. Each end of the first connecting rod 31, the second connecting rod 32, and the third connecting rod 33 is provided with a rotating connection hole. The rotating connection between the two connecting rods is achieved by inserting a rotating shaft, a connecting pin, or other structures into the two rotating connection holes. The first connecting rod 31 and the third connecting rod 33 are rotatably connected to the ends of the second connecting rod 32. The first connecting rod 31 and the third connecting rod 33 form an angle with the second connecting rod 32, and the angle can change with the relative movement of the first connecting base 10 and the second connecting base 20, thereby achieving the extension and contraction of the overall length of the 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., or can also include two connecting rods, which can be set as needed.

[0084] 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 pipelines or lines is formed inside the drag chain structure.

[0085] 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 line. It is preferred to provide a fixing structure on the three connecting rods at the same time to make the fixation of the pipeline and / or line more reliable and enable the pipeline and / or line to be arranged along the connecting rod structure 30.

[0086] 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.

[0087] 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 the three is connected and 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 the two surfaces of the connecting rod structure 30 to separate the waterway and the circuit to avoid mutual influence between water and electricity.

[0088] like Figure 3As shown, the first clamping structure preferably includes a strong current clamping structure 301 for fixing the power supply line, and a weak current clamping structure 302 for fixing the control line, so as to achieve the separation of strong current and weak current, make the line layout more tidy, and avoid mutual interference between strong current and weak current.

[0089] The second connecting structure includes a water pipe slot for connecting the water pipe. Preferably, the water pipe slots are 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, an anti-freeze crack structure 34 is provided on the waterway. The anti-freeze crack structure 34 is connected to the waterway as part of the waterway. Preferably, the second connecting rod 32 is located at the low point of the connecting rod structure 30. The anti-freeze crack structure 34 is provided on the second connecting rod. The water pipe is divided into two parts, which are respectively connected to the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32, and then connected to the anti-freeze crack structure 34 at the same time.

[0090] like Figure 4 As shown, when the anti-freeze cracking structure 34 is provided, the second connecting rod 32 does not need to be provided with a water pipe slot. Furthermore, in order to cooperate with the installation of the anti-freeze cracking structure 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 second connecting rod 32). The anti-freeze cracking structure 34 is located on the lower side of the second connecting rod 32, and the second water pipe slot 303 protrudes toward the lower side of the first connecting rod 31 to facilitate the pipe 60 to pass through the second water pipe slot 303 and connect to the anti-freeze cracking structure 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.

[0091] like Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, preferably, the anti-freeze cracking structure 34 includes a water flow channel 341, which is connected to the water path for water circulation. Preferably, the water 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.

[0092] The antifreeze structure also includes an air cavity 342, which is located above the water flow channel 341 and connected to the water flow channel 341 via a connecting hole 343. Preferably, the connecting hole 343 has a small diameter. When water flows through the water flow channel 341, the water will block the connecting hole 343. Furthermore, due to the presence of air in the exhaust cavity 342, water will not enter the exhaust cavity 342. When the ambient temperature drops, the air in the air cavity 342 contracts, and the water in the water flow channel 341 expands as it freezes. Some of the water 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 antifreeze crack structure 34 is located at the lowest point of the pipeline, any remaining water in the pipeline will remain in the water flow channel 341 of the antifreeze crack structure 34, preventing ice from affecting the entire pipeline.

[0093] Preferably, if Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the support assembly also includes a pipe mounting structure 40, which can also be constructed as a sleeve assembly, that is, the first part 41 and the second part 42 are both constructed as cylindrical structures, which are inserted 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 connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 20 respectively to simplify the assembly process. Furthermore, a guide structure is provided 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 provided on the inner peripheral wall of the corresponding second part 42 along its axial direction. The protrusion extends into the groove and can slide relative to each other to guide the sliding of the first part 41 and the second part 42. Preferably, two grooves and two protrusions are provided; it is easy to imagine that a protrusion can also be provided on the outer peripheral wall of the first part 41 and a groove can be provided on the inner peripheral wall of the second part 42.

[0094] Alternatively, two or more pipeline mounting structures 40 may be provided at the same time to facilitate the installation of different pipelines or lines. For example, two pipeline mounting structures 40 may be provided, and the two pipeline mounting structures 40 may adopt different structures or the same structure. Of course, more pipeline mounting structures 40 may be provided as needed.

[0095] like Figure 9 As shown, in another embodiment, a hose 90 can be further provided on the pipeline mounting structure 40. The hose 90 can be used as a water inlet pipe or for other purposes. The hose 90 is wound around the pipeline mounting structure 40, and the length of the hose 90 can be changed as the pipeline mounting structure 40 expands and contracts.

[0096] In another embodiment, Figure 8As shown, the first part 41 of the pipeline mounting structure 40 includes a plurality of first sliding rods 411 connected to the first connecting seat 10, and a first sliding ring 412 connected to the first sliding rod 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 connecting seat 10, and the second ends of the plurality of first sliding rods 411 are distributed along the circumference and connected to the first sliding ring 412.

[0097] The second part 42 of the pipeline mounting structure 40 includes a plurality of second sliding rods 421 connected to the second connecting 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 connecting seat 20, and the second ends of the plurality of second sliding rods 421 are distributed along the circumference and connected to the second sliding ring 422.

[0098] The first sliding ring 412 slides onto the second sliding rod 421, and the second sliding ring 422 slides onto the first sliding rod 411. The first sliding ring 412 is positioned between the second sliding ring 422 and the second connecting seat 20, and the second sliding ring 422 is positioned between the first sliding ring 412 and the first connecting seat 10. The first sliding ring 412 and the second sliding ring 422 are mutually restrained, and the space between the multiple first sliding rods 411 and the multiple second sliding rods 421 together constitutes the installation space. The first portion 41 and the second portion 42 can achieve overall expansion and contraction by sliding relative to each other, thereby changing the length of the pipeline mounting structure 40, that is, changing the length of the installation space. The first sliding ring 412 and the second sliding ring 422 are mutually restrained, so that the first portion 41 and the second portion 42 cannot be separated.

[0099] In this embodiment, the laundry processing device is a washing machine. The processing tub 1 includes a drawer structure and a pulsator washing tub disposed therein. The strong and weak current lines of the pulsator washing tub's water inlet pipe are disposed on a connecting rod structure 30, and the drain pipe is disposed on a pipe mounting structure 40. Preferably, the connections between the water inlet and drain pipes and the processing tub 1 are both made of bellows to prevent the connections from being pulled or excessively worn during pipe movement.

[0100] Furthermore, a reducing connector 70 is provided on the water inlet pipe. The reducing connector 70 includes an outlet end with a larger diameter and an inlet end with a smaller diameter. The inlet end is connected to the water inlet pipe, and the outlet end is connected to the inlet of the pulsator washing tub. When the incoming water flows from the inlet end and the inlet end, the water pressure can be reduced, preventing the incoming water from impacting the pulsator cover and causing a loud water inlet noise. Preferably, the reducing connector 70 is also provided with a mounting portion for fixing the reducing connector 70.
