Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, or solution B, or a solution that satisfies both A and B.

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a twin-drum washing machine. In this embodiment, the up-down direction and the front-back direction are used to describe the orientation of the twin-drum washing machine during operation, and do not include the orientation of the twin-drum washing machine during transportation or production. It should be noted that the up-down direction refers to a direction roughly extending along gravity, but is not necessarily completely parallel to gravity, and the front-back direction refers to a direction roughly extending along the axis of the two barrels in the twin-drum washing machine, wherein the end of the barrel with an opening is the front end, and the other end is the rear end.

[0036] See also Figure 1 The double-drum washing machine 100 provided by the present invention comprises a shell 10, a first barrel 11, a second barrel 12, a shock absorber 30 and a mounting frame 20, wherein the shell 10 has a accommodating cavity, the first barrel 11, the second barrel 12 and the mounting frame 20 are arranged in the accommodating cavity, the shock absorber 30 is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and one end is connected to the shell 10, wherein the mounting frame 20 is provided with a first bearing position 201 and a second bearing position 202, the first bearing position 201 is used to install the first barrel 11, and the second bearing position 202 is used to install the second barrel 12, the mounting frame 20 is connected to the other end of the shock absorber 30, and is supported on the shell 10 through the shock absorber 30.

[0037] In the present embodiment, the outer shell 10 is an enclosure that surrounds the outside of the twin-drum washing machine 100, and has a containing cavity, and the internal components of the washing machine are all placed in the containing cavity. The outer shell 10 plays the role of bearing and protecting the internal components of the washing machine, and can transmit the weight of the internal components of the washing machine and the vibration generated during the operation of the washing machine to the ground. The shape and material of the outer shell 10 are not limited, and it is generally a box-shaped component, which can be made of steel or engineering plastics. The first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12 can be provided with a washing machine drum, or other forms of washing drums. When the washing machine is working, water and detergent can be injected to wash the clothes in the drum. The first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12 can work separately or simultaneously. When working, the first barrel 11 and / or the second barrel 12 vibrate. The specific structure of the mounting frame 20 is not limited, and it mainly plays the role of supporting the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12. A first bearing position 201 and a second bearing position 202 are provided on the mounting frame 20, which are used to respectively mount the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12, so as to transfer the gravity of the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12 to the housing 10, and specifically supported on the housing 10 by a shock absorber 30 connecting the mounting frame 20 and the housing 10. Preferably, the shock absorber 30 is provided at the lower end of the mounting frame 20. The type of the shock absorber 30 is not limited, as long as it can reduce the vibration generated by the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12 during operation. For example, it can be a commonly used spring shock absorber 30 or a damping shock absorber 30, etc.

[0038] In this embodiment, the twin-barrel washing machine 100 connects the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12 directly to the shock absorber 30 respectively through the setting of the mounting frame 20. Compared with the conventional twin-barrel washing machine 100, the twin barrels are connected by a connecting piece, and one of the barrels is connected to the shock absorber 30. In this embodiment, the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12 are directly connected to the shock absorber 30 through the mounting frame 20. In this way, most of the shaking and stress generated by the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12 during operation are transmitted to the housing 10 through the mounting frame 20. Although there is still vibration transmission between the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12, since both are directly connected to the shock absorber 30, compared with the conventional twin-barrel washing machine 100 structure, the interference between the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12 can be effectively reduced. In addition, due to the setting of the mounting frame 20, the overall rigidity of the washing machine is enhanced, and resonance is not easy to occur, thereby reducing the amplitude and noise of the twin-barrel washing machine 100 during operation, extending the service life of the machine, and improving the user experience.

[0039] The upper drum of a conventional twin-drum washing machine 100 is usually connected to the housing 10 via a hanging spring 40. When the upper drum vibrates, stress and deformation are concentrated at the connection between the hanging spring 40 and the upper drum, which may easily cause deformation and damage to the upper drum. Figure 1 and Figure 2The upper end of the mounting is suspended on the housing 10 by a hanging spring 40. Thus, the mounting frame 20, the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12 are elastically connected to the housing 10 as a whole through the setting of the hanging spring 40 and the shock absorber 30, and a certain buffer space is provided between the mounting frame 20 and the housing 10. On the one hand, the housing 10 is supported at multiple points to enhance the stability of the assembly. On the other hand, the setting of the hanging spring 40 and the shock absorber 30 reduces the vibration transmission of the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12 to the housing 10 during operation, thereby reducing the amplitude and noise of the double-barrel washing machine 100 during operation. In addition, the shortcoming that the hanging spring 40 is directly connected to the first barrel 11, which causes the first barrel 11 to be easily damaged, can be avoided.

[0040] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 , there are multiple shock absorbers 30, and the shock absorbing direction of each shock absorber 30 points to the center of mass of the assembly consisting of the mounting frame 20, the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12. In this embodiment, the mounting frame 20, the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12 can be regarded as a relatively rigid body as a whole, and have a common center of mass. When the double-barrel washing machine 100 is working, the rigid body generates vibration, and transmits the vibration to the housing 10 through multiple shock absorbers 30. In this embodiment, the shock absorbing direction of the shock absorber 30 refers to the direction in which the shock absorber 30 absorbs the vibration force when working. For example, for a spring shock absorber 30, it can be the direction in which the spring in the shock absorber 30 extends, and for a damping shock absorber 30, it can be the extension direction of the hydraulic cylinder or the pneumatic cylinder telescopic part. The shock absorbing direction of each shock absorber 30 points to the center of mass of the assembly consisting of the mounting frame 20, the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12, so that the shock absorbing effect of the shock absorber 30 is fully exerted and the shock absorbing effect is improved.

[0041] In one embodiment, an elastic wear-resistant member (not shown) is provided between the mounting frame 20 and the first cylinder 11. In one embodiment, an elastic wear-resistant member (not shown) is provided between the mounting frame 20 and the first cylinder 12. The above two embodiments can be implemented in combination.

[0042] The first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12 generate vibrations during operation, and wear is easily generated due to the gap between the connection parts with the mounting frame 20. The elastic wear-resistant part can reduce the wear of the first cylinder 11 and / or the second cylinder 12 on the one hand, and can also play a buffering role and reduce noise on the other hand. The elastic wear-resistant part is generally made of elastic-plastic material, and can be a rubber pad or sponge.

[0043] Based on the above embodiment, the mounting frame 20 includes a connecting frame 21 and a counterweight frame 22 which are sequentially distributed in the upper and lower directions. The first bearing position 201 is arranged on the connecting frame 21, and the second bearing position 202 is arranged on the counterweight frame 22. The lower end of the counterweight frame 22 is supported on the outer shell 10 through the shock absorber 30.

[0044] In this embodiment, the connecting frame 21 serves to connect and support the first barrel 11, and the counterweight frame 22 serves to counterweight and carry the second barrel 12. The counterweight frame 22 has a greater mass than the connecting frame 21, so that the center of gravity of the assembly consisting of the mounting frame 20, the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12 is lowered, thereby improving the overall stability, reducing the amplitude of the double-barrel washing machine 100 when it is working, and reducing the working noise. The connecting frame 21 and the counterweight frame 22 can be set as one body or separately. When the two are set as one body, the connecting frame 21 has a relatively light and thin size, and the counterweight frame 22 can have a large size and / or be installed with a counterweight. In this embodiment, the connecting frame 21 and the counterweight frame 22 can also be set as a separate body. When the two are set as a separate body, the connecting frame 21 can be a lightweight material such as aluminum alloy or steel, and the counterweight frame 22 can be a material with a higher density such as reinforced concrete, and a counterweight with a higher density can be further installed. The lower end of the counterweight frame 22 is supported on the housing 10 through a shock absorber 30.

[0045] On the basis of the previous embodiment, the counterweight frame 22 includes two counterweight frames 221 respectively arranged at the two ends of the second barrel 12, one of the two counterweight frames 221 is connected and fixed to the front end of the second barrel 12, and the other is connected and fixed to the rear end of the second barrel 12, and the lower ends of the two counterweight frames 221 are connected by a counterweight rod 222 extending in the front-to-back direction. In this embodiment, the two counterweight frames 221 are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the second barrel 12, and are respectively used to be connected and fixed to the second barrel 12, and the two counterweight frames 221 are connected by a counterweight rod 222, and the counterweight rod 222 can be a material with a large mass such as reinforced concrete, and the counterweight rod 222 is connected to the lower ends of the two counterweight frames 221, further reducing the center of gravity of the counterweight frame 22, improving the overall stability of the double-barrel washing machine 100, and reducing the amplitude. The counterweight rod 222 also serves to connect the two counterweight frames 221 and improve the overall stiffness of the counterweight frame 22, especially in the front-to-back direction.

[0046] Further, each counterweight frame 221 includes two counterweight plates 223 and a counterweight bridge 224, the two counterweight plates 223 are respectively arranged on both sides of the second cylinder 12, and are respectively connected and fixed to the second cylinder 12, and the counterweight bridge 224 is detachably connected between the two counterweight plates 223, and is located at the lower end of the two counterweight plates 223. In this embodiment, the counterweight bridge 224 can be a reinforced concrete connector with a large mass, which is arranged between the two counterweight plates 223 of the counterweight frame 221 and is located at the lower end of the two counterweight plates 223. On the one hand, the overall center of gravity of the counterweight frame 22 is further lowered, and on the other hand, a suitable counterweight can be selected according to the actual working conditions of the twin-tub washing machine 100, so that the mounting frame 20 has higher adaptability. Since the overall mass of the counterweight frame 221 is relatively large, if it is set as an integrated unit, it will easily cause inconvenience in transportation and assembly. The counterweight bridge 224 and the counterweight plate 223 are set separately, which makes the assembly process of the twin-drum washing machine 100 simpler, reduces the risk of installation difficulties caused by the mismatch between the sizes of the counterweight frame 221 and the second drum 12, reduces the dimensional accuracy requirements of the counterweight frame 221, and improves assembly efficiency.

[0047] In one embodiment, two counterweight rods 222 are provided, and the two counterweight rods 222 are respectively provided on both sides of the second cylinder 12, and four shock absorbers 30 are provided, wherein two shock absorbers 30 support one of the counterweight rods 222, and the other two shock absorbers 30 support the other counterweight rods 222. In this way, the overall rigidity of the mounting frame 20 is enhanced by the provision of the two counterweight rods 222, and the four shock absorbers 30 cooperate with the counterweight rods 222, so that the gravity and vibration transmission are more uniform.

[0048] In one embodiment, the connecting frame 21 includes two connecting frames 211 disposed on both sides of the first cylinder 11, each connecting frame 211 includes two connecting plates 212 and a connecting rod 213, the two connecting plates 212 of each connecting frame 211 are disposed on both ends of the first cylinder 11, and are respectively connected and fixed to the first cylinder 11, and the connecting rod 213 of each connecting frame 211 extends in the front-to-back direction, and the two ends are respectively fixed to the upper ends of the corresponding two connecting plates 212. In this embodiment, the two connecting frames 211 are disposed on both sides of the cylinder, so that the size of the connecting frame 211 and the first cylinder 11 is easier to adapt, and the requirements for the dimensional accuracy of the connecting frame 211 are reduced. The two connecting plates 212 are respectively connected and fixed to the two ends of the first cylinder 11 to stably support the first cylinder 11, and the connecting rod 213 extends in the front-to-back direction, and the two ends are respectively fixed to the upper ends of the corresponding two connecting plates 212, which plays a good role in enhancing the rigidity of the connecting frame 21, and further improves the overall rigidity of the mounting frame 20, especially the rigidity in the front-to-back direction.

[0049] Further, there are three connecting parts 50 between each connecting plate 212 and the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12, and the three connecting parts 50 are distributed in a triangular shape. In the present embodiment, the connecting frame 211 is connected to both the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12, further improving the overall rigidity of the assembly. In addition, there are three connecting parts 50 between each connecting plate 212 and the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12, wherein the connecting part 50 refers to the fixed connecting point between the first barrel 11 or the second barrel 12 and the connecting plate 212, and a connecting member is arranged at the fixed connecting point to firmly connect the first barrel 11 or the second barrel 12 to the connecting plate 212, and the connecting member can be a bolt or the like. The three connecting parts 50 are distributed in a triangular shape, so that the connection between the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12 is more stable, the torsional rigidity between the two is enhanced, and the possibility of torsional deformation during vibration is reduced.

[0050] In one embodiment, a hanging spring 40 is respectively provided on each connecting rod 213, so that the connecting frame 21 is suspended on the outer shell 10 through the hanging spring 40. Such a setting makes the setting position of the hanging spring 40 close to the center of the entire mounting frame 20, and the transmission of gravity and vibration is more uniform.

[0051] In one embodiment, the lower ends of the two connecting plates 212 of each connecting frame 211 are respectively connected and fixed to the upper ends of the two counterweight frames 221, so that the connection between the connecting frame 21 and the counterweight frame 22 is realized, and there are four connection points between the two, distributed at the four corners of the connecting frame 21. The connection position is reasonably set, the gravity and vibration are transmitted evenly, and stress concentration can be reduced, thereby extending the overall service life of the mounting frame 20.

[0052] It can be understood that the above three embodiments can be implemented separately or selectively in combination.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
