[0049] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0050] It should be understood that the terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific example embodiments and are not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "one", "an" and "said" as used herein may also be meant to include plural forms.

[0051] Although the terms first, second, third, etc. can be used in the text to describe multiple elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms can only be used to distinguish an element, component, region, layer or section from another region, layer or section. Unless the context clearly indicates, terms such as "first", "second" and other numerical terms do not imply order or sequence when used in the text. Therefore, the first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below can be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teaching of the example embodiments.

[0052] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figure, such as "inside", "outside", "inner side", "outer side", "below", "below", "above", "above", etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figure.

Therefore, the example term "below..." can include both upper and lower orientations. The device can be oriented otherwise (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text are interpreted accordingly.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a laundry processing apparatus 100 is provided. The laundry processing apparatus 100 includes a first laundry processing device 10 and a second laundry processing device 20 .

[0054] Among them, the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20 can be devices with the same functions, for example, the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20 are both washing machines or dryers; they can also be devices with different functions, for example, the first clothing processing device 10 is a washing machine and the second clothing processing device 20 is a dryer.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first laundry processing device 10 is a washing machine, and the second laundry processing device 20 is a dryer. The structures of other parts of the washing machine and the dryer are referred to the prior art and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0056] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a vibration reduction assembly 30. A receiving structure is provided on the top of the first laundry processing device 10, and the vibration reduction assembly 30 includes an elastic member 31, at least part of the elastic member 31 is received in the receiving structure and spaced apart from the inner circumferential wall of the receiving structure, and the second laundry processing device 20 is spaced apart above the first laundry processing device 10 and abuts against the elastic member 31.

[0057] Specifically, the first laundry processing device 10 and the second laundry processing device 20 are stacked in the vertical direction, wherein an elastic member 31 of the vibration reduction assembly 30 is arranged between the second laundry processing device 20 and the first laundry processing device 10, and the elastic member 31 can not only be elastically deformed in the vertical direction, but also in the horizontal direction. When at least one of the first laundry processing device 10 and the second laundry processing device 20 is in operation, by arranging the elastic member 31 between the first laundry processing device 10 and the second laundry processing device 20, the vibration transmission between the first laundry processing device 10 and the second laundry processing device 20 is reduced, and the vibration superposition generated between the first laundry processing device 10 and the second laundry processing device 20 is reduced, thereby reducing the vibration generated during the operation of the laundry processing device 100, so that the user experience is effectively improved.

[0058] It should be pointed out that in the embodiment of the present invention, the receiving structure has a top opening, surrounds the vertical direction, has an inner peripheral wall, and the elastic member 31 is arranged in the receiving structure. In the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction (horizontal direction), the elastic member 31 and the inner peripheral wall are spaced apart. In the vertical direction, the elastic member 31 can be received in the receiving structure, or the elastic member 31 is flush with the top opening of the receiving structure, or the elastic member 31 protrudes from the top opening of the receiving structure. The elastic member 31 received by the receiving structure can be deformed in the vertical direction, and can also be deformed in the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction.

[0059] In the prior art, the second clothing processing device 20 is connected and fixed to the top of the first clothing processing device 10 through a connecting piece, and the two are rigidly connected. At this time, when at least one of the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20 is in operation, the vibration generated will be transmitted to the other, thereby generating a superposition of vibrations. The amplitude of the superimposed vibration increases, which leads to a sharp increase in vibration and noise of the clothing processing equipment, thereby affecting the user experience.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, a receiving structure is provided on the top of the first clothing processing device 10, and the receiving structure has a top opening. The elastic member 31 is arranged inside the receiving structure through the top opening. Part of the structure of the second clothing processing device 20 enters into the receiving structure through the top opening of the receiving structure and abuts against the elastic member 31.

[0061] When the clothing processing equipment 100 is running, under vibration, the second clothing processing device 20 generates relative displacement with respect to the first clothing processing device 10, and the elastic member 31 is arranged between the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20. The elastic member 31 has the ability to undergo elastic deformation, so as to absorb the displacement generated by the second clothing processing device 20 and the first clothing processing device 10, thereby reducing the problem of vibration transmission, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0062] It should be understood that the second laundry processing device 20 abuts against the elastic member 31, the elastic member 31 undergoes elastic deformation, and the resilience of the elastic member 31 reacts on the second laundry processing device 20. When the second laundry processing device 20 moves toward the direction close to the first laundry processing device 10, the second laundry processing device 20 drives the elastic member 31 to continue to undergo elastic deformation, the resilience of the elastic member 31 increases and reacts on the second laundry processing device 20 to prevent the second laundry processing device 20 from continuing to move toward the direction close to the first laundry processing device 10, thereby reducing the collision between the second laundry processing device 20 and the first laundry processing device 10.

[0063] It should be pointed out that, in an embodiment of the present invention, the receiving structure is arranged on the top cover 11 of the first box body 12 of the first clothing processing device 10 (in other embodiments of the present invention, a partition is arranged between the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20, the partition is connected and fixed to the top of the first clothing processing device 10, and the receiving structure is formed on the partition), and the elastic member 31 is a rubber member (in other embodiments, the elastic member 31 can also be a silicone member, a spring, an elastic steel sheet, a pneumatic push rod or a hydraulic push rod, etc.), the material cost of the rubber member is low, and the manufacturing cost of the clothing processing equipment 100 can be effectively reduced. In addition, the structural performance of the rubber member is stable, and it has good anti-fatigue performance, which can effectively extend the service life of the elastic member 31 and effectively reduce the failure rate of the elastic member 31.

[0064] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8As shown, the receiving structure is a receiving groove 111 (in other embodiments, the receiving structure is a receiving hole), wherein the notch of the receiving groove 111 is the top opening of the receiving structure, and the elastic member 31, which is a rubber member, is installed in the receiving groove 111 through the notch of the receiving groove 111, and the outer peripheral surface of the elastic member 31 and the inner side wall of the receiving groove 111 are spaced apart, and part of the structure of the second clothing processing device 20 rests on the elastic member 31. When the second clothing processing device 20 moves toward the direction close to the first clothing processing device 10, the second clothing processing device 20 presses the elastic member 31 to cause it to elastically deform, and the elastic member 31, which is a rubber member, elastically deforms toward the inner side wall of the receiving groove 111. By arranging the outer peripheral surface of the elastic member 31 and the inner side wall of the receiving groove 111 to be spaced apart, the elastic member 31 can have an effective deformation space, thereby effectively providing a buffer between the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20.

[0065] In addition, the receiving groove 111 is a cylindrical structure, and the elastic member 31, which is a rubber member, is also a cylindrical structure. The receiving groove 111 and the elastic member 31 are both set to cylindrical structures, so that the elastic performance of the elastic member 31 can be uniform and stable, and the occurrence of damage to the elastic member 31 due to stress concentration during the deformation process can be reduced. At the same time, a connecting portion is provided at the bottom of the rubber member (the end away from the second laundry processing device 20), and the connecting portion is also a cylindrical structure. An external thread is provided on the connecting portion, and a connecting threaded hole is provided at the bottom of the receiving groove 111. When the elastic member 31, which is a rubber member, is arranged in the receiving groove 111, the connecting portion is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, thereby achieving the fixing of the elastic member 31, which is a rubber member, in the receiving groove 111, thereby improving the stability of the elastic member 31 installed in the receiving groove 111.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the elastic member 31 disposed in the receiving structure is a rubber member, wherein the elastic member 31 has an outer peripheral surface, and a concave structure 311 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface, and the number of the concave structure 311 is at least one. By providing the concave structure 311, the outer peripheral surface of the elastic member 31, which is a rubber member, presents a concave-convex structure, and the outer peripheral surface has a concave-convex structure, which can increase the elastic performance of the elastic member 31, so that the vibration reduction performance provided by the elastic member 31 between the first laundry processing device 10 and the second laundry processing device 20 is effectively improved.

[0067] It should be noted that the elastic member 31 of the rubber member is a cylindrical structure, and the recessed structure 311 can be opened along the circumference of the cylindrical structure or along the axial direction of the cylindrical structure. In the embodiment of the present invention, the recessed structure 311 is opened along the axial direction of the cylindrical structure.

[0068] In addition, the number of the recessed structures 311 may be one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, etc. In the embodiment of the invention, Fig.10 As shown, the number of the recessed structures 311 is ten, and all the recessed structures 311 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the elastic member 31 which is a cylindrical structure. By setting ten recessed structures 311, the elastic performance of the elastic member 31 which is a rubber member is improved in some embodiments, thereby further improving the vibration reduction performance of the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the receiving structure is formed on the top cover 11 of the first box body 12 of the first clothing processing device 10, and the number is set to be multiple. All the receiving structures are dispersedly arranged on the top of the first clothing processing device 10 and are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first clothing processing device 10. In each receiving structure, an elastic member 31 is respectively installed.

[0070] By providing a plurality of receiving structures with elastic parts 31, the vibration reduction performance of the vibration reduction assembly 30 can be increased, and the transmission of vibration between the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20 when the clothing processing device 100 is in motion is further reduced, so that the vibration of the clothing processing device 100 during operation is effectively reduced, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0071] It should be noted that along the circumference of the first laundry processing device 10, all the receiving structures having the elastic members 31 can be arranged at equal intervals or at unequal intervals on the top cover 11 of the first box body 12 of the first laundry processing device 10. In the embodiment of the present invention, all the receiving structures having the elastic members 31 are arranged at equal intervals to make the force uniform and reduce the occurrence of damage to the elastic members 31 caused by stress concentration.

[0072] In the prior art, the second laundry processing device 20 is connected and fixed to the top of the first laundry processing device 10 through a connecting piece, and the two are rigidly connected. At this time, when at least one of the first laundry processing device 10 and the second laundry processing device 20 is in operation, the vibration generated will be transmitted to the other, thereby generating a superposition of vibrations, especially in the vertical direction, resulting in a significant increase in the vibration amplitude of the laundry processing device 100, thereby causing a sharp increase in the vibration and noise of the laundry processing device 100, thereby affecting the user experience.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 3 to 9As shown, the clothing processing equipment also includes a limit assembly 40, which is respectively connected to the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20. Along the circumference of the first clothing processing device 10, the limit assembly 20 limits the rotation of the second clothing processing device 20 relative to the first clothing processing device 10. Along the vertical direction, the limit assembly 40 has a preset limit stroke for the second clothing processing device 20 to move relative to the first clothing processing device 10.

[0074] Specifically, a vibration damping assembly 30 is arranged between the second laundry processing device 20 and the first laundry processing device 10. The second laundry processing device 20 is arranged above the first laundry processing device 10 and is connected through the limiting assembly 40. The limiting assembly 40 and the vibration damping assembly 30 enable the second laundry processing device 20 to form a floating structure relative to the first laundry processing device 10 in the vertical direction, that is, in the vertical direction, the second laundry processing device 20 can move relative to the first laundry processing device 10, so that when the laundry processing equipment 100 is running, the vibrations generated by the first laundry processing device 10 and the second laundry processing device 20 will not be superimposed, thereby reducing the vibrations generated during the operation of the laundry processing equipment 100, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0075] It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the function of the limiting assembly 40 is to generate a limit, the first laundry processing device 10 and the second laundry processing device 20 are connected by the limiting assembly 40, and the two are constrained by the limiting assembly 40, wherein, in the circumferential direction of the laundry processing device 100 (i.e., the circumferential direction of the first laundry processing device 10), the limiting assembly 40 limits the second laundry processing device 20 and the first laundry processing device 10, so that relative displacement cannot occur between the two, that is, the first laundry processing device 10 and the second laundry processing device 20 are constrained in the circumferential direction of the laundry processing device 100. In the vertical direction of the laundry processing device 100, the limiting assembly 40 has a preset limit stroke, that is, the second laundry processing device 20 can move in the vertical direction relative to the first laundry processing device 10 within the preset limit stroke, and outside the preset limit stroke, the second laundry processing device 20 is constrained by the limiting assembly 40 in the vertical direction and cannot move relative to the first laundry processing device 10 in the area outside the preset limit stroke.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8As shown, the limiting assembly 40 has a first connecting member 41 and a second connecting member 43, wherein the first connecting member 41 and the second connecting member 43 are respectively connected to the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20. The first connecting member 41 can be connected and fixed to the first clothing processing device 10, and the second connecting member 43 can be connected and fixed to the second clothing processing device 20, or the first connecting member 41 can be connected and fixed to the second clothing processing device 20, and the second connecting member 43 can be connected and fixed to the first clothing processing device 10.

[0077] In the embodiment shown in the present invention, the first connecting member 41 is connected and fixed to the first clothing processing device 10, and the second connecting member 43 is connected and fixed to the second clothing processing device 20. A first guide structure 411 with a preset limit stroke is provided on the first connecting member 41, and the second connecting member 43 cooperates with the first guide structure 411 and is guided by the first guide structure 411, and the second connecting member 43 can move relative to the first connecting member 41 within the preset limit stroke.

[0078] By utilizing the structure formed by the combination of the first connecting member 41 and the second connecting member 43, it is achieved that in the vertical direction, the second clothing processing device 20 can be relatively moved within a preset limit stroke relative to the first clothing processing device 10, and the vibration reduction component 30 is arranged between the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20, so that a floating structure is formed between the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20, so that the floating structure is utilized to reduce the transmission of vibration between the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0079] It should be pointed out that the connection and fixing methods between the first connecting member 41 and the first clothing processing device 10 include but are not limited to welding, bonding, clamping, riveting or screw connection, and the like. At the same time, the connection and fixing methods between the second connecting member 43 and the second clothing processing device 20 also include but are not limited to welding, bonding, clamping, riveting or screw connection, etc.

[0080] In addition, the first guide structure 411 has multiple implementations. For example, the first guide structure 411 can be a guide rail, and a first limiting structure and a second limiting structure are arranged on the guide rail. The length of the guide rail between the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure is the preset limiting stroke. The second connecting member 43 is provided with a groove, and the guide rail and the groove can be slidably matched. For another example, the first guide structure is a slide groove, and the second connecting member 43 is provided with a slider, and the slider can be slidably arranged in the slide groove, etc.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figures 6 to 8 ,as well as Fig.11As shown, the first connecting member 41 is connected and fixed on the first clothing processing device 10, the first guide structure 411 of the first connecting member 41 is a first waist-shaped hole opened on the first connecting member 41, and the first waist-shaped hole is extended in the vertical direction. The second connecting member 43 is set to be a first screw, and the first screw is threadedly connected to the second clothing processing device 20, and part of the body of the first screw is passed through the first waist-shaped hole.

[0082] Specifically, part of the body of the first screw is inserted into the first waist-shaped hole, and the side wall of the first waist-shaped hole limits the first screw, so that the first screw can only move in the extension direction of the first waist-shaped hole. At the same time, in the vertical direction, the two ends of the first waist-shaped hole respectively limit the first screw, and the distance between the two ends is the preset limit stroke. The combined structure formed by the first connecting member 41 and the second connecting member 43 is relatively simple in structure and can effectively reduce the manufacturing cost. In addition, by inserting part of the body of the first screw into the first waist-shaped hole and guiding the first screw using the first waist-shaped hole, the directionality of the second laundry processing device 20 relative to the first laundry processing device 10 within the preset limit stroke can be improved.

[0083] It should be understood that when the first screw is installed, the threaded portion of the first screw is first passed through the first waist-shaped hole and then threadedly connected to the second clothing processing device 20. After the connection is fixed, the nail head of the first screw and the second clothing processing device 20 are located on opposite sides of the first connecting member 41. The size of the nail head of the first screw is larger than the size of the first waist-shaped hole, and the nail head of the first screw cannot pass through the first waist-shaped hole.

[0084] It should be pointed out that the width of the first waist-shaped hole (the size of the first waist-shaped hole in the horizontal direction) is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the first screw, thereby satisfying the requirement that the first screw can move relative to the first waist-shaped hole, while also reducing the shaking caused by the outer diameter of the first screw being too large relative to the width of the first waist-shaped hole.

[0085] In addition, the first connecting member 41 may be connected to the top of the first laundry treating device 10 , and the first connecting member 41 may also be connected to the side wall of the first laundry treating device 10 .

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 6 to 8 ,as well as Fig.11As shown, the first connecting member 41 is connected and fixed on a side wall of the first clothing processing device 10, and is arranged to protrude from the top of the first clothing processing device 10 in the vertical direction, wherein the first clothing processing device 10 and the first connecting member 41 are matched with each other in a concave-convex manner (for example, a protruding structure is formed on the first connecting member 41, and a concave structure 311 is formed on the first clothing processing device 10; for another example, a concave structure 311 is formed on the first connecting member 41, and a protruding structure is formed on the first clothing processing device 10), and the first connecting member 41 and the first clothing processing device 10 are connected and fixed by fasteners.

[0087] Specifically, the first box body 12 of the first laundry processing device 10 has a top cover 11, and the top cover 11 is on the rear side of the laundry processing device 100 (in the embodiment of the present invention, when the user faces the laundry processing device 100, the side of the laundry processing device 100 close to the user is the front side, the side of the laundry processing device 100 away from the user is the rear side, the side of the laundry processing device 100 located on the left hand side of the user is the left side, the side of the laundry processing device 100 located on the right hand side of the user is the right side, the side of the laundry processing device 100 against the support surface is the bottom side, and the laundry processing device 100 is located on the right hand side of the user. The side opposite to the supporting surface is the top side) has a protrusion 113, and the protrusion 113 protrudes out of the clothing processing device 100. The first connecting member 41 and the corresponding position of the top cover 11 form a recessed portion 412 (U-shaped structure), and the protrusion 113 is embedded in the recessed portion 412 to form a concave-convex matching structure. The first connecting member 41 and the first clothing processing device 10 have a concave-convex matching, thereby increasing the contact area between the first connecting member 41 and the first clothing processing device 10, thereby improving the connection strength between the two, so that the stability of the connection position is effectively improved.

[0088] It should be understood that the top cover 11 of the first clothing processing device 10 protrudes from the side of the clothing processing equipment 100. On the one hand, it is convenient to disassemble the top cover 11 for maintenance of the first clothing processing device 10. On the other hand, the part of the top cover 11 protruding from the clothing processing device 100 can be used to abut against a wall or the like, so that the clothing processing device 100 is spaced apart from adjacent structures, so as to better dissipate heat from the clothing processing device 100.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20 of the clothing processing equipment 100 are connected by a limiting assembly 40, wherein the limiting assembly 40 limits the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20 in the circumferential direction of the clothing processing equipment 100 so that no displacement can occur therebetween, and the limiting assembly 40 sets a preset limiting stroke in the vertical direction, and in the vertical direction, the second clothing processing device 20 and the second clothing processing device 20 can perform relative displacement within the preset limiting stroke, and are limited by the limiting assembly 40 outside the preset limiting stroke.

[0090] Specifically, Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the limiting assembly 40 has a first connecting member 41, a second connecting member 43 and a third connecting member 42, wherein the first connecting member 41 is connected and fixed to the first laundry processing device 10, and the second connecting member 43 is connected and fixed to the second laundry processing device 20. A first guide structure 411 with a preset limiting stroke is provided on the first connecting member 41, the second connecting member 43 cooperates with the first guide structure 411 and is guided by the first guide structure 411, and the second connecting member 43 can move relative to the first connecting member 41 within the preset limiting stroke.

[0091] The third connecting member 42 is connected to the first laundry processing device 10 or the second laundry processing device 20. When the third connecting member 42 is connected to the first laundry processing device 10, a second guide structure 22 is provided on the second laundry processing device 20. When the third connecting member 42 is connected to the second laundry processing device 20, a second guide structure 22 is provided on the first laundry processing device 10.

[0092] In the embodiment shown in the present invention, Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the third connecting member 42 is connected and fixed to the first laundry processing device 10, and the second guide structure 22 is formed on the second laundry processing device 20. The second guide structure 22 with a preset limit stroke is provided on the second laundry processing device 20, and the third connecting member 42 cooperates with the second guide structure 22 and is guided by the second guide structure 22, and the second laundry processing device 20 can move relative to the third connecting member 42 within the preset limit stroke.

[0093] By utilizing the structure formed by the combination of the first connecting member 41 and the second connecting member 43, and the structure formed by the combination of the third connecting member 42 and the second guide structure 22, it is further realized that in the vertical direction, the second clothing processing device 20 can be relatively moved within a preset limit stroke relative to the first clothing processing device 10, and the vibration reduction component 30 is arranged between the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20, so that a floating structure is formed between the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20, so that the floating structure is utilized to reduce the transmission of vibration between the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0094] It should be noted that the connection and fixing methods between the third connecting member 42 and the first laundry processing device 10 include but are not limited to welding, bonding, clamping, riveting or screw connection.

[0095] In addition, the first guide structure 411 has multiple implementations. For example, the first guide structure 411 can be a guide rail, and a first limiting structure and a second limiting structure are arranged on the guide rail. The length of the guide rail between the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure is the preset limiting stroke. The second connecting member 43 is provided with a groove, and the guide rail and the groove can be slidably matched. For another example, the first guide structure is a slide groove, and the second connecting member 43 is provided with a slider, and the slider can be slidably arranged in the slide groove, etc.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 and Fig. 9 As shown, the third connecting member 42 is connected and fixed on the first clothing processing device 10, the second guide structure 22 is a second waist-shaped hole opened at the bottom of the second clothing processing device 20, the second waist-shaped hole is extended in the vertical direction, and the third connecting member 42 is set to be a second screw, the second screw is threadedly connected to the first clothing processing device 10, and part of the body of the second screw is passed through the second waist-shaped hole.

[0097] Specifically, part of the body of the second screw is inserted into the second waist-shaped hole, and the side wall of the second waist-shaped hole limits the second screw, so that the second screw can only move in the extension direction of the second waist-shaped hole. At the same time, in the vertical direction, the two ends of the second waist-shaped hole respectively limit the second screw, and the distance between the two ends is the preset limit stroke. The combined structure formed by the third connecting member 42 and the second guide structure 22 is relatively simple in structure and can effectively reduce the manufacturing cost. In addition, by inserting part of the body of the second screw into the second waist-shaped hole and guiding the second screw using the second waist-shaped hole, the directionality of the second clothing treatment device 20 relative to the first clothing treatment device 10 within the preset limit stroke can be further improved.

[0098] It should be understood that when the second screw is installed, the threaded portion of the second screw is first threadedly connected to the first laundry processing device 10 and the threaded portion passes through the first laundry processing device 10 and then is inserted into the second waist-shaped hole.

[0099] It should be pointed out that the width of the second waist-shaped hole (the size of the second waist-shaped hole in the horizontal direction) is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the second screw, thereby meeting the requirement that the second screw can move relative to the second waist-shaped hole, while also reducing the shaking caused by the outer diameter of the second screw being too large relative to the width of the second waist-shaped hole.

[0100] In addition, the third connecting member 42 may be connected to the top of the first laundry treating device 10 , and the third connecting member 42 may also be connected to the side wall of the first laundry treating device 10 .

[0101] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the first clothing processing device 10 has multiple side surfaces in the circumferential direction, wherein the multiple side surfaces include a first side surface and a second side surface, the second side surface is arranged to intersect with the first side plate, the first connecting member 41 is connected and fixed to the first side surface, and the third connecting member 42 is connected and fixed to the second side surface. By arranging the first connecting member 41 and the second connecting member 43 on different sides of the first clothing processing device 10, multi-side limiting in the circumferential direction of the first clothing processing device 10 is achieved, thereby improving the limiting effect between the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20, and in the circumferential direction of the clothing processing equipment 100, the displacement of the first clothing processing device 10 and the second clothing processing device 20 relative to each other is reduced.

[0102] It should be pointed out that in an embodiment of the present invention, in the circumferential direction of the clothing processing device 100, the first clothing processing device 10 has a front side (when the user faces the clothing processing device 100, the side of the clothing processing device 100 close to the user is the front side), a rear side (when the user faces the clothing processing device 100, the side of the clothing processing device 100 away from the user is the rear side), a left side (when the user faces the clothing processing device 100, the side of the clothing processing device 100 located on the left hand side of the user is the left side) and a right side (when the user faces the clothing processing device 100, the side of the clothing processing device 100 located on the right hand side of the user is the right side), the first connecting member 41 is connected and fixed to the rear side of the first clothing processing device 10, and the third connecting member 42 is connected and fixed to the left side or the right side of the first clothing processing device 10.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 or Figure 8As shown, the second laundry processing device 20 is disposed on the top of the first laundry processing device 10 , wherein a receiving space 112 is disposed on the top of the first laundry processing device 10 , and the receiving space 112 receives the bottom of the second laundry processing device 20 .

[0104] Specifically, the receiving space 112 receives the bottom of the second clothing processing device 20, which means that part of the structure of the second clothing processing device 20 is arranged in the receiving space 112, and the side wall of the receiving space 112 is used to limit the bottom of the second clothing processing device 20, thereby effectively maintaining the position of the second clothing processing device 20 relative to the first clothing processing device 10.

[0105] It should be pointed out that in the vertical direction, the receiving space 112 has a height, wherein the height of the receiving space 112 is greater than or equal to the preset limit stroke. By setting the height of the receiving space 112 to be greater than or equal to the preset limit stroke, when the second laundry processing device 20 produces the maximum displacement in the vertical direction relative to the first laundry processing device 10, the second laundry processing device 20 and the first laundry processing device 10 are not structurally separated from each other, thereby improving the structural strength of the laundry processing equipment 100 and reducing the possibility of the second laundry processing device 20 falling off relative to the first laundry processing device 10.

[0106] In addition, the accommodating space 112 is a recessed structure 311 (which can be formed by the flange of the top plate, etc.) formed on the top cover 11 of the first box body 12 of the first clothing processing device 10, and the shape of the bottom of the second clothing processing device 20 is adapted to the shape of the recessed structure 311. When the bottom of the second clothing processing device 20 is arranged inside the recessed structure 311, the two form a concave-convex matching structure.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 , Figure 8 as well as Fig. 9 As shown, a foot 23 is installed at the bottom of the second housing 21 of the second laundry processing device 20 , and the foot 23 is disposed against the vibration reduction assembly 30 located at the top of the first housing 12 of the first laundry processing device 10 .

[0108] Specifically, the second laundry processing device 20 is abutted against the vibration reduction assembly 30 through the base 23, and the other structures of the second laundry processing device 20 are spaced apart from the top of the first laundry processing device 10. By setting the base 23, the contact area between the second laundry processing device 20 and the first laundry processing device 10 is reduced, and the path of vibration transmission is reduced, so that the transmission of vibration between the first laundry processing device 10 and the second laundry processing device 20 is reduced, thereby improving the stability of the laundry processing equipment 100 during operation, reducing vibration, and effectively improving the user experience.

[0109] It should be noted that the base 23 can be made of a rigid material or a flexible material. In the embodiment of the present invention, the base 23 is a rubber member. The rubber member has good buffering and vibration absorption properties and can further reduce the mutual transmission of vibrations.

[0110] In addition, the connection method between the base 23 and the second laundry processing device 20 includes but is not limited to threaded connection, clamping or bonding.

[0111] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
