[0052] Embodiment 1

[0053] like Figure 1As shown, the present embodiment provides a clothing processing device, including an inner drum, an outer drum and a box assembly, and the box assembly is placed on a mounting surface 100, and the mounting surface 100 is exemplified as the floor of a bathroom, a balcony or a laundry room. The box assembly includes a box shell 1, the outer drum is arranged in the box shell 1, and the inner drum is rotatably arranged in the outer drum. The interior of the inner drum is used to place clothing to be processed, and the front side panel of the box assembly is provided with a clothing delivery port communicated with the inner drum. Taking a drum washing machine as an example of a clothing processing device, when the inner drum of the drum washing machine rotates, the washing and drying of clothing is realized. During this process, the rotation of the inner drum will cause noise and vibration. Of course, the clothing processing device can also be a dryer, a washing and drying machine, a clothing care machine, and the like.

[0054] The bottom wall of the box shell 1 is provided with an opening 11 (such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the noise generated when the clothes processing device is in operation leaks out through the bottom opening 11 and the gap between the bottom wall of the box body and the mounting surface 100, causing greater noise pollution to the surrounding environment.

[0055] Based on the above problems, this embodiment provides a box assembly, including a flexible support structure 2 (see Figure 6 and Figure 7 ). Specifically, see Figure 2 The bottom wall of the box shell 1 forms a supporting area 12 at the periphery of the opening 11 , and the flexible supporting structure 2 fills the gap between the supporting area 12 and the mounting surface 100 .

[0056] Specifically, the box assembly is provided with a flexible support structure 2 that can fill the gap between the bottom wall of the box shell 1 and the mounting surface 100. On the first hand, it can block the noise leaking through the bottom of the clothing processing equipment, achieve a good sound insulation effect, and purify the surrounding environment of the clothing processing equipment; on the second hand, the flexible support structure 2 can alleviate the vibration generated during the operation of the clothing processing equipment, achieve a good vibration reduction and buffering effect, and improve the safety of the use of the clothing processing equipment; on the third hand, the provision of the flexible support structure 2 can increase the contact area between the bottom of the box shell 1 and the mounting surface 100, improve the placement stability of the box assembly on the mounting surface 100, avoid the displacement of the box assembly when the clothing processing equipment vibrates violently, and enhance the user experience.

[0057] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2, a support leg 13 is provided on the support area 12, and the bottom of the support leg 13 is configured to be supported on the mounting surface 100. The setting of the support leg 13 allows a gap of a certain height to be provided between the support area 12 and the mounting surface 100. If no sound insulation measures are taken, noise will leak out through the opening 11 and the gap. In this embodiment, the flexible support structure 2 includes a plurality of support bodies 21, and the plurality of support bodies 21 are provided in the support area 12 and are arranged around the periphery of the opening 11. That is, there are support bodies 21 on the periphery of the opening 11, ensuring that each position on the periphery of the opening 11 can be soundproofed, effectively preventing noise from overflowing.

[0058] Specifically, the box assembly is a rectangular parallelepiped structure as a whole, see Figure 2 The bottom wall of the box shell 1 is rectangular, the opening 11 on the bottom wall is rectangular, and the formed support area 12 includes a first area, a second area, a third area and a fourth area which are sequentially connected end to end to form a rectangle, and the first area, the second area, the third area and the fourth area are all provided with the above-mentioned support body 21. Support feet 13 are provided at the intersections between the four areas, that is, a support foot 13 is provided at each of the four corners of the bottom wall of the box shell 1.

[0059] As a first possible solution, see Figure 3 The upper and lower surfaces of the support body 21 are both planes, the upper surface of the support body 21 is connected to the support area 12, and the lower surface of the support body 21 is against the mounting surface 100. The support body 21 with both upper and lower surfaces being planes has sufficient contact area with the support area 12 and the mounting surface 100, and is more stable after installation.

[0060] As a second possible solution, see Figure 6 The upper surface of the support body 21 is provided with a vibration isolation groove, and a first vibration isolation cavity 22 is formed between the groove wall of the vibration isolation groove and the support area 12. The provision of the first vibration isolation cavity 22 can increase the elasticity of the support body 21 and improve the vibration reduction effect, and the first vibration isolation cavity 22 can play a certain sound insulation effect.

[0061] Further, see Figure 6 , a first elastic body 23 is arranged in the first vibration isolation cavity 22, and the first elastic body 23 is supported between the support area 12 and the inner wall of the vibration isolation groove. During the operation of the drum washing machine, the pressure applied to the support body 21 will compress the first elastic body 23. While ensuring that the support body 21 has sufficient supporting capacity, the first elastic body 23 also has good elastic properties and can absorb vibrations of a larger amplitude. A plurality of first elastic bodies 23 can be arranged, and the plurality of first elastic bodies 23 exemplarily include elastic columns and / or springs, and the elastic columns exemplarily are rubber columns.

[0062] Alternatively, a plurality of first vibration isolation balls are filled in the first vibration isolation cavity 22. The first vibration isolation balls are flexible balls. When the support body 21 is under pressure, the plurality of first vibration isolation balls automatically adjust their positions in the first vibration isolation cavity 22 according to the pressure, thereby reducing the transmission of vibration energy. The plurality of first vibration isolation balls have good elastic properties while ensuring that the support body 21 has sufficient supporting capacity. The first vibration isolation balls are exemplarily made of rubber material. Alternatively, the first elastomer 23 and the first vibration isolation balls can be used in combination.

[0063] As a third feasible solution, Figure 7 As shown, a second vibration isolation cavity 24 is provided inside the support body 21. The provision of the second vibration isolation cavity 24 can increase the elasticity of the support body 21 and improve the vibration reduction effect, and the second vibration isolation cavity 24 can play a certain sound insulation effect.

[0064] Further, see Figure 7 A second elastic body 25 is provided in the second vibration isolation cavity 24. The second elastic body 25 is supported between the upper and lower cavity walls of the second vibration isolation cavity 24. During the operation of the drum washing machine, the pressure exerted on the support body 21 will compress the second elastic body 25. The second elastic body 25 not only ensures that the support body 21 has sufficient supporting capacity, but also has good elastic performance and can absorb vibrations of a relatively large amplitude. A plurality of second elastic bodies 25 can be provided, and the plurality of second elastic bodies 25 exemplarily include elastic columns and / or springs, and the elastic columns exemplarily are rubber columns.

[0065] Alternatively, a plurality of second vibration isolation balls are filled in the second vibration isolation cavity 24. The second vibration isolation balls are flexible balls. When the support body 21 is under pressure, the plurality of second vibration isolation balls automatically adjust their positions in the first vibration isolation cavity 22 according to the pressure, thereby reducing the transmission of vibration energy. The plurality of second vibration isolation balls not only ensure that the support body 21 has sufficient supporting capacity, but also have good elastic properties. The second vibration isolation balls are exemplarily made of rubber material. Alternatively, the second elastomer 25 and the second vibration isolation balls can be used in combination.

[0066] When the height of the support foot 13 is relatively high and there is a relatively large gap between the support area 12 and the mounting surface 100, the following method can be used: Figure 6 , Figure 7 The embodiment shown.

[0067] In an optional embodiment, the support body 21 is made of sound-absorbing material, such as sound-absorbing sponge, sound-absorbing rubber, etc., which can absorb a large amount of noise and enhance the noise reduction effect of the flexible support structure 2.

[0068] Specifically to the above Figure 3 In the first embodiment, the support body 21 is made of sound-absorbing sponge. Figure 4The support body 21 is formed by splicing a plurality of sponge strips 211 arranged side by side. The material is convenient to obtain and easy to manufacture. The plurality of sponge strips 211 can be bonded with double-sided adhesive or liquid adhesive (solidified after drying), and the spliced ​​sponge strips 211 are also bonded to the support area 12 by double-sided adhesive or liquid adhesive. The process of bonding the sponge strips 211 to each other and bonding them to the support area 12 after splicing can be performed manually. Alternatively, the support body 21 can also be formed by cutting a whole piece of sponge sheet, and after cutting, it is bonded to the support area 12 by double-sided adhesive or liquid adhesive. The process of cutting the sponge sheet and bonding it to the support area 12 can be performed manually.

[0069] Specifically to the above Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the second and third implementation schemes, the support body 21 can be made of a sound-absorbing rubber plate, which has a certain supporting strength and elastic vibration absorption capacity. While supporting the bottom of the box shell 1, it has good vibration reduction, noise reduction, and sound insulation effects.

[0070] In another optional embodiment, the support body 21 is covered with a sound absorbing layer, which can also achieve the effect of sound absorption and noise reduction. Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, a sound absorbing layer (such as sound insulation felt) is coated on the periphery of the support body 21, or a sound absorbing layer is formed on the periphery of the support body 21 by applying a sound absorbing paint.

[0071] Figure 6 and Figure 7 The support body 21 in the illustrated embodiment may also be bonded to the support area 12 by double-sided adhesive or liquid adhesive.

[0072] Optionally, the material of the support body 21 is mixed with rodent and insect repellent drugs, such as when the support body 21 is manufactured, the rodent and insect repellent drugs are mixed into it; or, the support body 21 is provided with a medicine groove for embedding the rodent and insect repellent drugs, such as after the support body 21 is manufactured, the rodent and insect repellent drugs are placed in the medicine groove, which can effectively prevent rodents and insects from gnawing and damaging the support body 21, thereby preventing rodents and insects from entering the interior of the washing machine through the gap between the support area 12 and the mounting surface 100 and the opening 11, and preventing rodents and insects from gnawing on the pipes and lines inside the washing machine.

[0073] Optionally, the support body 21 is provided with ventilation holes 212 running through it from top to bottom. The ventilation holes 212 play the role of heat dissipation and ventilation, thereby preventing the drum washing machine from overheating during operation and improving the operating safety of the washing machine.

[0074] For example, Figure 3 Taking the embodiment shown in as an example, the support body 21 is a whole sponge sheet, such as Figure 5As shown, air holes 212 are provided in both the horizontal and vertical directions, and the air holes 212 in the horizontal and vertical directions may be connected or not connected. The air holes 212 provided in two directions can ensure good heat dissipation and ventilation effects at various positions at the bottom of the box shell 1. The number and distribution of the air holes 212 can be set according to needs in other embodiments, and the number and distribution of the air holes 212 are not limited here.

[0075] Optionally, a flexible sleeve is provided on the support leg 13 to avoid rigid contact between the support leg 13 and the mounting surface 100, further enhancing the vibration reduction and noise reduction effect. The flexible sleeve is exemplarily a rubber sleeve, which not only has good vibration and sound absorption performance, but also has a large friction force with the mounting surface 100, thereby improving the stability of the box assembly on the mounting surface 100.

The vibration damping seat and the elastic member and / or the damper on the vibration damping seat are filled between the support area 12 and the mounting surface 100, which play the effect of vibration reduction, noise reduction and improving the stability of the box assembly. Furthermore, the vibration damping seat can be fixedly installed on the mounting surface 100, for example, by means of anchor bolts or suction cups, etc., to improve the stability of the vibration damping seat.

The positioning and clamping unit exemplarily includes two adjustable-ply plates driven by a linear drive mechanism, and the two ply plates are used to clamp the box shell 1 to prevent the box shell 1 from shifting during installation. The installation unit, for example, includes a three-axis module and a clamping mechanism arranged on the three-axis module. The clamping mechanism clamps the flexible support structure 2 under the drive of the three-axis module and transports the flexible support structure 2 to the installation station, and moves from top to bottom or horizontally under the drive of the three-axis module to be installed on the bottom wall of the box shell 1; if the flexible support structure 2 is bonded to the bottom wall of the box shell 1, the installation unit may also include a clamping mechanism, which is used to press the flexible support structure 2 so that it is firmly bonded to the bottom wall of the box shell 1.
