Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Currently, garment processing equipment generally consists of an outer drum and an inner drum, with the inner drum coaxially positioned inside the outer drum. The outer drum is suspended from the housing by four suspension springs, which support the weight of the entire garment. A shock absorber is located at the bottom of the outer drum, but it only provides auxiliary cushioning and does not bear the weight of the garment. Because the space between the outer and inner drums is a relatively enclosed chamber, regardless of whether the outer drum is used for holding water or simply for centralized drainage, the inner wall of the outer drum easily accumulates dirt, making it difficult to clean and prone to bacterial growth. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, embodiments of this application aim to provide a garment handling device that eliminates the need for suspension springs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application embodiment is implemented as follows: This invention provides a garment processing device, which includes: The tubular assembly includes a washing tub, a mounting assembly, and a rotating shaft connected to the rear end of the washing tub. The rotation axis of the washing tub is arranged in a front-to-back direction. The washing tub is exposed on the outer surface of the tubular assembly. The washing tub has a washing chamber that can independently hold water. The washing tub is rotatably supported on the mounting assembly via the rotating shaft. Base; Multiple vibration damping support assemblies are provided, at least partially disposed between the mounting assembly and the base, to collectively support the overall weight of the drum assembly. In some embodiments, the front side of the washing drum is open, forming a clothes loading and unloading opening, and the front end of the washing drum is cantilevered.

[0005] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft has a first through hole extending axially through the rotating shaft, the garment processing device includes a water inlet pipe and a drain pipe, the water inlet pipe and the drain pipe being disposed in the first through hole, the washing drum receiving water through the water inlet pipe and discharging water through the drain pipe.

[0006] In some embodiments, the garment processing device includes a motor, the mounting assembly includes an end cap and an adapter, the end cap is disposed behind the washing drum and has a mounting hole, the rotating shaft passes through the mounting hole, the motor is sleeved on the outer end of the rotating shaft and mounted on the end cap, and the adapter connects the end cap and the vibration damping support assembly.

[0007] In some embodiments, the adapter frame includes a ring body and two sets of adapter components. The ring body is mounted on the rear side of the end cap and surrounds the pivot. The two sets of adapter components are arranged along the left-right direction of the base. Each adapter component includes a first adapter plate and a second adapter plate connected to each other. The top end of the first adapter plate is connected to the ring body. The second adapter plate is arranged along the front-back direction. At least two vibration damping support components are provided below each second adapter plate.

[0008] In some embodiments, the connection points of the two first adapter plates and the ring body are located on the lower left and lower right sides of the ring body, and the distance between the two first adapter plates gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0009] In some embodiments, the bottom end of the first adapter plate is bent forward to form a bent portion, and a first hinge lug is formed at the bottom of the bent portion. The rear end of the second adapter plate is detachably connected to the bent portion, and a second hinge lug is formed at the bottom of the front end of the second adapter plate. Two of the vibration damping support components are hinged to the first hinge lug, and the other two vibration damping support components are hinged to the second hinge lug.

[0010] In some embodiments, the front end face of the end cap does not extend beyond half the axial length of the washing tub in a rear-to-front direction.

[0011] In some embodiments, the vibration damping support assembly includes a support rod and a vibration damping spring, the support rod passing through the vibration damping spring, the support rod being movably connected between the mounting assembly and the base, and the bottom end of the vibration damping spring abutting against the base; The top end of the damping spring abuts against the mounting assembly; or, the top end of the damping spring abuts against a limiting portion protruding from the circumferential surface of the support rod.

[0012] In some embodiments, the number of vibration damping support assemblies is at least four, and the support rods are swaying about one end. The swaying axes of the support rods of the two rear vibration damping support assemblies are along a first direction of the horizontal plane, and the swaying axes of the support rods of the two front vibration damping support assemblies are along a second direction of the horizontal plane.

[0014] In some embodiments, the top end of the support rod is hinged to the mounting assembly, the base is provided with a second through hole, and the bottom end of the support rod slidably passes through the second through hole.

[0015] The garment processing device in this embodiment of the invention, through the force transmission path formed by the mounting components and the vibration damping support components, allows the entire weight of the drum assembly to be transferred to the base, eliminating the need for suspension springs used in the prior art to suspend the washing drum. This provides a more stable installation position for the washing drum while simplifying the components required to fix the washing drum and improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the garment processing device. Specifically, in related technologies, suspension springs require a large installation space above the drum assembly, and a large safety distance needs to be reserved for the movement stroke of the suspension springs. Therefore, a large space needs to be reserved above the drum assembly for the suspension springs. However, in this embodiment, the use of traditional suspension springs can be eliminated, thus saving space and making the structure of the garment processing device more compact.

[0018] In the description of this application, the orientations or positional relationships of "up," "down," "top," "bottom," "left," and "right" are based on the appendix. Figure 1The orientations or positional relationships shown, including "front" and "rear," are based on the attached... Figure 2 The orientations or positional relationships shown are intended only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0019] This invention provides a garment processing device, see reference. Figures 1 to 6 The garment processing equipment includes a tubular assembly 10, a mounting assembly 12, a base 20, and multiple vibration damping support assemblies 30.

[0020] The drum assembly 10 includes a washing drum 11, a mounting assembly 12, and a rotating shaft 13 connected to the rear end of the washing drum 11. The front side of the washing drum 11 is open and forms a clothes loading and unloading opening, through which clothes are loaded and unloaded.

[0021] The rotation axis of the washing drum 11 is arranged in the front-to-back direction, so that the clothes can repeatedly rise and fall as the washing drum 11 rotates, which helps to improve the cleaning effect of the clothes.

[0022] The washing drum 11 has a washing chamber 11a that can independently hold water. That is, the washing water can be sealed and stored in the washing chamber 11a for washing the clothes to be treated. After the clothes to be treated are washed, the washing water in the washing chamber 11a is drained.

[0023] The washing drum 11 is rotatably supported on the mounting assembly 12 via a pivot 13. This allows the washing drum 11 to rotate relative to the mounting assembly 12 with the pivot 13, and provides a mounting position for the washing drum 11. The rotation of the washing drum 11 causes the clothes to be treated to rub and tumble within the washing chamber 11a, thereby achieving the tumbling and washing of the clothes.

[0024] It is understandable that the rotating shaft 13 is arranged coaxially with the washing drum 11 in order to reduce the eccentric rotation of the washing drum 11 during the rotation process.

[0025] The base 20 is used to support the weight of the entire garment processing equipment and to allow the garment processing equipment to be placed stably on the ground.

[0026] The vibration damping support assembly 30 is at least partially disposed between the mounting assembly 12 and the base 20 to jointly bear the total weight of the cylindrical assembly 10. The entire weight of the cylindrical assembly 10 can be directly transferred to the base 20 through the vibration damping support assembly 30, providing stable support for the installation of the cylindrical assembly 10, eliminating the need for suspension springs in related technologies, and making the structure more compact.

[0027] In addition, the eccentric vibration generated by the washing drum 11 during rotation can be transmitted to the vibration damping support assembly 30 through the mounting assembly 12. The vibration damping support assembly 30 absorbs part of the vibration energy, thereby reducing the vibration transmitted to the base 20.

[0028] The garment processing device in this embodiment of the invention, through the force transmission path formed by the mounting component 12 and the vibration damping support component 30, allows the entire weight of the drum assembly to be transferred to the base, eliminating the need for the suspension springs used in the prior art to suspend the washing drum. This provides a more stable installation position for the washing drum 11, simplifies the components required to fix the washing drum 11, and improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the garment processing device. Specifically, in related technologies, suspension springs require a large installation space above the drum assembly, and a large safety distance needs to be reserved for the movement stroke of the suspension springs. Therefore, a large space needs to be reserved above the drum assembly for the suspension springs. In this embodiment of the invention, the use of suspension springs can be eliminated, thus saving space and making the structure of the garment processing device more compact.

[0029] For example, multiple vibration damping support components 30 can be arranged symmetrically in front and behind and left and right according to the center of gravity position of the cylindrical assembly 10, so as to distribute the overall weight of the cylindrical assembly 10 relatively evenly, reduce the risk of abnormal damage to a certain vibration damping support component 30 due to weight concentration, and improve the service life of the vibration damping support component 30.

[0030] The washing drum 11 is exposed on the outer surface of the drum assembly 10. That is, the circumferential outer surface of the washing drum 11 serves as the outer surface of the drum assembly 10. In other words, the garment handling device in this embodiment eliminates the outer drum found in the prior art, providing only the washing drum 11. Since the washing drum can hold water independently, the elimination of the outer drum solves the problem of dirt easily accumulating in the outer drum of the prior art, reducing the risk of bacterial growth.

[0031] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the washing chamber 11a is provided with a plurality of lifting ribs, which extend axially. During the rotation of the washing drum 11, the lifting ribs lift the clothes to be treated, allowing the clothes to fall from a higher position within the washing chamber 11a, thereby improving the tumbling effect on the clothes and enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0032] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The front end of the washing drum 11 is in a cantilever state. That is, only the rear end of the washing drum 11 is supported along the direction of gravity, so that the support point of the weight of the washing drum 11 is located on the rear pivot 13, so that the entire weight of the washing drum 11 can be transferred to the vibration damping support assembly 30 through the pivot 13 and the mounting assembly 12. This avoids the need for an additional support structure at the front end of the washing drum 11, which would cause wear between the washing drum 11 and the additional support structure at the front end during rotation.

[0033] It should be noted that the washing chamber 11a can both take in water and drain water.

[0034] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 13 has a first through hole 13a extending axially through the rotating shaft 13. The first through hole 13a communicates with the washing chamber 11a. The garment handling device includes a water inlet pipe and a drain pipe, which pass through the first through hole 13a. The washing drum 11 receives water through the water inlet pipe and drains water through the drain pipe.

[0035] In this embodiment, since the water inlet pipe and the drain pipe are installed in the first through hole 13a, both the water inlet pipe and the drain pipe can remain stationary during the rotation of the washing drum 11 with the rotating shaft 13. The water inlet pipe and the drain pipe will not interfere with the movement of the washing drum 11, thus ensuring the normal water intake and normal drainage of the washing drum 11.

[0036] In some embodiments, the garment handling device includes a motor 40, see [reference] Figure 4 and Figure 5 The mounting assembly 12 includes an end cap 121, which is located behind the washing drum 11 and has a mounting hole through which the rotating shaft 13 passes. The motor 40 is located on the side of the end cap 121 opposite to the washing drum 11.

[0037] End cap 121 provides a mounting position for motor 40. (See also...) Figure 4 and Figure 5 The motor 40 is sleeved on the outer end of the rotating shaft 13 and installed on the end cover 121. Specifically, the stator of the motor 40 is fixed on the end cover 121, and the rotor of the motor 40 is drivenly connected to the rotating shaft 13.

[0038] It is understood that the rotating shaft 13 can rotate relative to the end cover 121, and its specific rotational connection method is not limited. For example, it can be connected by a sliding bearing or a rolling bearing.

[0039] The specific shape of the end cap 121 is not limited. For example, in a plane projection perpendicular to the rotation axis of the washing tub 11, the end cap 121 is approximately circular, and its outer diameter is larger than that of the washing tub 11. The radially outer edge of the end cap 121 has a forward-extending shroud. The end cap 121 of this embodiment has a relatively large size, facilitating the mounting of counterweights, electrical components, etc., on the end cap 121.

[0040] Understandably, the vibration damping support assembly 30 can be directly connected to the end cap 121 to reduce the number of parts. Alternatively, the vibration damping support assembly 30 can be indirectly connected to the end cap 121 through other structural components.

[0041] For example, see Figure 5 The mounting assembly 12 includes an adapter 122, which connects to an end cap 121 and a vibration damping support assembly 30.

[0042] Understandably, the specific structure of the adapter 122 facilitates simultaneous connection with the end cap 121 and the vibration damping support assembly 30, and optimizes the force transmission path.

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The adapter frame 122 includes a ring body 1221 and an adapter component 1222. The ring body 1221 is mounted on the rear side of the end cover 121 and is arranged around the rotating shaft 13. The ring body 1221 can bear the vibration of the end cover 121 with the washing drum 11 in any radial direction, reducing the risk of stress concentration caused by localized force on the ring body 1221.

[0044] The top end of the adapter 1222 is connected to the ring 1221, and the bottom end of the adapter 1222 is connected to the vibration damping support assembly 30. The adapter 1222 further transmits the force on the ring 1221 to the vibration damping support assembly 30.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 There are two sets of adapters 1222, which are arranged along the left and right sides of the base 20. This is to evenly distribute the weight to the vibration damping support assemblies 30 on both sides, making it easier for the overall structure to maintain balance and improving stability.

[0046] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 Each adapter 1222 includes a first adapter plate 1222a and a second adapter plate 1222b connected to each other. The top end of the first adapter plate 1222a is connected to the ring body 1221, and the second adapter plate 1222b is arranged in the front-back direction. At least two vibration damping support assemblies 30 are provided below each second adapter plate 1222b. The weight transmitted by the second adapter plate 1222b is supported by multiple vibration damping support assemblies 30, thereby improving stability and reliability.

[0047] For the same second adapter plate 1222b, one vibration damping support assembly 30 is located at the front end of the second adapter plate 1222b, and another vibration damping support assembly 30 is located at the rear end of the second adapter plate 1222b. The second adapter plate 1222b has support points at both the front and rear ends, making it easier for the overall structure to maintain balance in the front-rear direction and improving stability.

[0048] The second adapter plate 1222b is located within the projection range of the washing drum 11 on the horizontal plane, thus avoiding the second adapter plate 1222b from additionally increasing the size of the clothing processing equipment.

[0049] It is understandable that the specific connection position between the first adapter plate 1222a and the ring body 1221 is not limited.

[0050] For example, see Figure 4The connection points between the two first adapter plates 1222a and the ring body 1221 are located on the lower left and lower right sides of the ring body 1221, and the distance between the two first adapter plates 1222a gradually increases from top to bottom. The two first adapter plates 1222a provide support from the left and right sides respectively, which helps to maintain the horizontal balance of the washing drum 11. At the same time, the two first adapter plates 1222a, the vibration damping support assembly 30, and the base 20 together form an approximately triangular structure, thereby improving the stability of the support and increasing the load-bearing capacity.

[0051] It is understandable that the eccentric vibration generated by the washing drum 11 during rotation is mainly a radial oscillation with the connection position between the washing drum 11 and the rotating shaft 13 as the oscillation center. Therefore, in some embodiments, the extension direction of the first adapter plate 1222a passes through the rotation axis of the rotating shaft 13 to further improve the load-bearing capacity of the washing drum 11 against vibration.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The bottom end of the first adapter plate 1222a is bent forward to form a bent portion 1222c, and the rear end of the second adapter plate 1222b is detachably connected to the bent portion 1222c. The first adapter plate 1222a and the second adapter plate 1222b are configured as a split structure, which facilitates subsequent maintenance, disassembly and replacement.

[0053] See Figure 6 A portion of the second adapter plate 1222b overlaps the bent portion 1222c in the vertical direction to reduce the shear force at the connection point of the first adapter plate 1222a and the second adapter plate 1222b, thereby improving the structural strength.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The bottom of the bent portion 1222c is formed with a first hinge ear 1222d, and the bottom of the front end of the second adapter plate 1222b is formed with a second hinge ear 1222e. Two vibration damping support components 30 are hinged to the first hinge ear 1222d of the two second adapter plates 1222b, and the other two vibration damping support components 30 are hinged to the second hinge ear 1222e of the two second adapter plates 1222b.

[0055] In this embodiment, the two junction positions of the same adapter 1222 are assigned to the first adapter plate 1222a and the second adapter plate 1222b, which reduces the load that needs to be transmitted at the connection position of the first adapter plate 1222a and the second adapter plate 1222b, improves the structural strength, and enhances the connection reliability at the connection point of the first adapter plate 1222a and the second adapter plate 1222b.

[0056] Furthermore, since each vibration damping support assembly 30 does not need to slide relative to the first adapter plate 1222a and the second adapter plate 1222b, interference between the vibration damping support assembly 30 and the washing drum is avoided.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 Along the direction from back to front, the front end face of the end cap 121 does not exceed 1 / 2 of the axial length of the washing drum 11. On the one hand, this makes the center of mass formed by the end cap 121 and the washing drum 11 closer to the connection position between the end cap 121 and the rotating shaft 13, reducing the probability of the washing drum 11 tipping forward; on the other hand, this makes a portion of the circumferential outer surface of the washing drum 11 form the outer surface of the drum assembly 10.

[0058] The specific structural form of the vibration damping support component 30 is not limited.

[0059] For example, see Figure 6 The vibration damping support assembly 30 includes a support rod 31 and a vibration damping spring 32, with the support rod 31 passing through the vibration damping spring 32. This serves to guide the extension and contraction of the vibration damping spring 32 and limit its lateral bending. The support rod 31 is movably connected between the mounting assembly 12 and the base 20, allowing relative positional movement between the support rod 31 and the vibration damping spring 32, thereby facilitating compression or extension of the vibration damping spring 32.

[0060] The bottom end of the damping spring 32 abuts against the base 20 to limit the downward movement of the bottom end of the damping spring 32 in the direction of extension and contraction.

[0061] In some embodiments, the top end of the damping spring 32 abuts against the mounting assembly 12. When the washing tub 11 shakes, the distance between the mounting assembly 12 and the base 20 changes, causing the damping spring 32 located between the mounting assembly 12 and the base 20 to stretch and deform, thereby applying a reaction force to the mounting assembly 12 and suppressing shaking. When the washing tub 11 is stationary, the damping spring 32 provides support to transfer the weight of the tub assembly 10 to the base 20.

[0062] In other embodiments, see Figure 6 The top of the damping spring 32 abuts against the limiting part 311 protruding from the circumferential surface of the support rod 31. When the washing drum 11 shakes, the distance between the mounting assembly 12 and the base 20 changes, which in turn changes the distance between the movable support rod 31 connected to the mounting assembly 12 and the base 20. The limiting part 311 causes the damping spring 32 to stretch and deform, and the damping spring 32 applies a reaction force to the support rod 31, thereby suppressing the shaking. When the washing drum 11 is stationary, the damping spring 32 provides support to transfer the weight of the drum assembly 10 to the base 20.

[0063] It is understandable that the damping spring 32 has a certain stiffness. That is, when the washing drum 11 is in a stationary state, under the premise that the drum assembly 10 can be stably supported on the damping support assembly 30, the damping spring 32 maintains a small pre-compression amount; and after the washing drum 11 vibrates, the damping spring 32 still has enough extension and contraction to generate a corresponding reaction force to counteract the vibration force.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The support rod 31 can swing about one end. For example, the support rod 31 swings about its top end, that is, the swing connection position of the support rod 31 is located at the top end of the support rod 31. Or, the support rod 31 swings about its bottom end, that is, the swing connection position of the support rod 31 is located at the bottom end of the support rod 31.

[0065] It is understandable that the swing connection positions of each support rod 31 are located on the same horizontal mounting plane so that each support rod 31 is subjected to uniform force, so that the mounting assembly 12 and the washing drum 11 are kept in balance in the horizontal direction.

[0066] It is understandable that the aforementioned horizontal mounting plane is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating shaft 13.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The swing axes of the support rods 31 of the two rear vibration damping support assemblies 30 are along a first direction on the horizontal plane, while the swing axes of the support rods 31 of the two front vibration damping support assemblies 30 are along a second direction on the horizontal plane. The first and second directions are orthogonal.

[0068] The two vibration damping support components 30 located at the rear enable the washing drum to have an amplitude of oscillation about a first direction, and the two vibration damping support components 30 located at the front enable the washing drum to have an amplitude of oscillation about a second direction. In this way, the amplitude of the washing drum 11 can be decomposed into amplitudes in two orthogonal directions, thereby reducing the amplitude transmitted from the washing drum to the base and the housing.

[0069] In other embodiments, the swing axes of the support rods 31 of the two vibration damping support components 30 below the second transition plate 1222b on the left are along a first direction of the horizontal plane, and the swing axes of the support rods 31 of the two vibration damping support components 30 below the second transition plate 1222b on the right are along a second direction of the horizontal plane, and the first direction and the second direction are orthogonal.

[0070] The two vibration damping support components 30 located on the left side enable the washing drum to have an amplitude of oscillation about a first direction, and the two vibration damping support components 30 located on the right side enable the washing drum to have an amplitude of oscillation about a second direction. In this way, the amplitude of the washing drum 11 can be decomposed into amplitudes in two orthogonal directions, thereby reducing the amplitude of the washing drum 11 transmitted to the base 20 and the housing.

[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 One of the first and second directions is left-right, and the other is front-back. That is, the swing axis of one is parallel to the rotation axis of the washing drum 11, and the swing axis of the other is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the washing drum 11. Combined with the vibration damping spring 32, which can extend and retract in the vertical direction, the vibration of the washing drum 11 in six degrees of freedom (up, down, left, right, front, and back) is buffered, thus improving the vibration reduction and noise reduction effect.

[0072] The specific way in which the support rod 31 swings is not limited. For example, the support rod 31 can be hinged to achieve relative swinging. Its structure is simple and easy to install and maintain.

[0073] It is understandable that the specific installation position of the swing position of the support rod 31 is not limited.

[0074] For example, in some embodiments, a through hole is provided on the second adapter plate 1222b, the bottom end of the support rod 31 is sway-connected to the base 20, and the top end of the support rod 31 can slide through the through hole. By changing the relative position between the support rod 31 and the second adapter plate 1222b, the damping spring 32 is compressed or stretched, thereby achieving the purpose of vibration damping and buffering.

[0075] In other embodiments, see Figure 6 The top end of the support rod 31 is hinged to the mounting assembly 12, and the base 20 is provided with a second through hole. The bottom end of the support rod 31 slides through the second through hole. By changing the relative position between the support rod 31 and the base 20, the damping spring 32 is compressed or stretched, thus achieving the purpose of vibration damping and buffering. Compared with the embodiment in which the top end of the support rod 31 slides through the through hole in the second adapter plate 1222b, this avoids the possibility of collision between the part of the support rod 31 passing through the second adapter plate 1222b and the washing drum 11, thus protecting both the washing drum 11 and the support rod 31.

[0076] In some embodiments, the bottom end of the support rod 31 can extend out of the base 20 and enter the gap between the base 20 and the mounting surface. This allows the damping spring 32 to have a greater stroke, improving the cushioning and vibration damping effect.

[0077] In some embodiments, a stop block is provided at the bottom end of the support rod 31. The stop block is located on the side of the base 20 away from the damping spring 32, and the projection of the stop block along the direction of movement of the support rod 31 is larger than the projection of the second through hole. That is, the stop block is always in the gap between the base 20 and the mounting surface. This avoids the risk that when the vibration of the washing drum 11 is too large and the bottom end of the support rod 31 enters the side of the base 20 away from the mounting surface, it cannot return to the gap between the base 20 and the mounting surface, thus weakening or failing the damping effect of the vibration damping support assembly 30.

[0078] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without creating contradictions.
