[0040] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other, and the detailed description in the specific implementation method should be understood as an explanation of the purpose of the present application and should not be regarded as an improper limitation on the present application.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the orientation or position relationship of "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "height direction", "first side", "second side", and "third side" is based on the attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 4 To Attachment Figure 6 Regarding the orientation or positional relationship shown, it should be understood that these orientation terms are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0042] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0043] The present application provides a laundry processing device. Figure 1 and Figure 6 , including a frame 20, a compressor 30 and a base 10 of any embodiment of the present application.

[0044] It should be noted that the specific type of the clothing processing device 100 is not limited here. The clothing processing device 100 is used to wash, dehydrate, dry, and perform other operations on clothing. For example, it can be a dryer or a washer-dryer. Exemplarily, the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the clothing processing device 100 as a washer-dryer as an example.

[0045] The integrated washer-dryer can wash and dry clothes. The integrated washer-dryer comprises a frame 20, a washing device, a drying device and a base 10.

[0046] The frame 20 is a main supporting structure, used for fixing, installing and supporting other components of the washer-dryer.

[0047] The washing device and the drying device are vertically stacked in the height direction. The base 10 is arranged between the washing device and the drying device and is fixedly connected to the frame 20.

[0048] It is understandable that, in the height direction, the washing machine may be arranged above the drying machine, or the drying machine may be arranged above the washing machine. For example, the present application takes the example of the drying machine being arranged above the washing machine as an example.

[0049] The washing device is fixed to the frame 20 and is used for washing clothes. The washing device includes a washing drum, and a washing cavity for accommodating clothes is formed inside the washing drum.

[0050] The clothes drying device is fixed to the frame 20 and is used for drying the washed clothes. A clothes drying chamber is formed inside the drying device.

[0051] The clothes drying device includes a clothes drying drum, an air circulation channel, an evaporator, and a condenser. The clothes drying drum is provided with a clothes drying chamber for accommodating clothes and a clothes loading port, from which users can put and take clothes; the air circulation channel is connected to the clothes drying chamber, and the air flow in the air circulation channel flows through the evaporator and the condenser.

[0052] It should be noted that the evaporator, the condenser and the compressor 30 constitute a part of a heat pump system, that is, the clothing processing device 100 of the embodiment of the present application uses heat pump technology to dry clothing.

[0053] The working principle of the heat pump system is as follows: the compressor 30 sucks in low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, which is compressed by the compressor 30 and discharged at high pressure. The discharged high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, is cooled by the air at room temperature, and condenses into high-pressure liquid (while transferring heat to the surrounding air). In other words, the air around the condenser will be heated and heated up; the high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through the capillary tube for throttling and decompression, and becomes a low-pressure and low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture and enters the evaporator. The liquid refrigerant evaporates and cools in the evaporator (while absorbing heat from the surrounding air). In other words, the air around the evaporator will be cooled and cooled down, and the low-pressure gaseous refrigerant generated will be sucked in by the compressor 30 again and pressurized. This cycle repeats itself continuously to achieve heat exchange. It should be noted that the capillary tube mentioned above can also be replaced by an expansion valve.

[0054] The working process and drying principle of the clothing processing device 100 of the embodiment of the present application are as follows: the dry hot airflow in the air circulation channel enters the drying chamber from the downstream of the air circulation channel along the air flow direction. In the drying chamber, the dry hot airflow flows through the surface of the wet clothes, exchanges heat and moisture with the wet clothes, absorbs moisture in the clothes, and becomes a humid hot airflow. The humid hot airflow flows through the evaporator and the condenser in sequence. In the process of flowing through the evaporator, the humid hot airflow is condensed and dehumidified by the evaporator to form a low-temperature dry airflow. The low-temperature dry airflow is heated to a dry hot airflow when passing through the condenser. The dry hot airflow enters the drying chamber again from the downstream of the air circulation channel, and the cycle runs in this way to achieve continuous and efficient drying of clothes.

[0055] The heat pump type clothes drying device achieves high utilization of energy and low energy consumption. At the same time, the drying temperature of the heat pump system is much lower than the heating temperature of the electric heating element, ensuring the drying quality of clothes.

[0056] See also Figure 1 The clothes processing apparatus 100 includes a drum 60 , and the drum 60 is disposed on a frame 20 .

[0057] It should be noted that the drum 60 includes at least one of the washing drum and the drying drum mentioned above.

[0058] Specifically, the bottom of the drying drum is formed into an arched structure protruding toward the base 10 , and the top of the washing drum is formed into an arched structure protruding toward the base 10 .

[0059] The specific shape of the arch structure is not limited. For example, it can be an arc shape, that is, the outer wall of the drying drum and the washing drum is formed into a cylindrical shape, so that it is convenient for external force to drive the drying drum and the washing drum to rotate, so that the clothes can be evenly processed, thereby improving the processing effect of the clothes processing device 100 on the clothes.

[0060] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The base 10 is provided with an escape area 11 a. The base 10 is provided with the escape area 11 a so that the compressor 30 will not interfere with the base 10 during the process of being installed on the frame 20 .

[0061] The specific structure of the avoidance area 11a is not limited. Figure 3 The avoidance area 11 a is a gap formed on one side of the base 10 .

[0062] In other embodiments, the avoidance area 11a may also be a through hole penetrating along the top and bottom directions.

[0063] The compressor 30 passes through the avoidance area 11a and is fixedly disposed on the frame 20. That is, the laundry processing device 100 of the embodiment of the present application does not bear the weight of the compressor 30 through the base 10, but bears the weight of the compressor 30 through the frame 20.

[0064] It should be noted that the connection method between the compressor 30 and the frame 20 is not limited. For example, it can be directly connected or indirectly connected to the compressor 30 through other components.

[0065] It can be understood that after the compressor 30 is carried by the frame 20, the base 10 does not need to bear the task of carrying the compressor 30. In this way, the structural strength requirement of the base 10 can be reduced, and the base 10 can be designed to be thinner accordingly, so that the height dimension of the base 10 can be reduced to a certain extent, thereby reducing the overall height dimension of the clothing processing device 100.

[0066] As can be seen from the above, the drum body 60 is cylindrical, and when the clothes processing device 100 is in use, the axial direction is the direction where the center line of the cylindrical drum body 60 is located.

[0067] It can be understood that when the surface of the base 10 facing the barrel 60 is understood as a plane, a certain gap is formed between one side of the cylindrical barrel 60 and the base 10 along the axial direction.

[0068] The avoidance area 11a is located on one side of the cylinder 60 in the axial direction. In this way, the size of the compressor 30 in the height direction can be accommodated in the gap between the one side of the cylinder 60 in the axial direction and the base 10, and this part of the space can be fully utilized, so that the layout of the clothing processing device 100 in the height direction is more compact, and the overall height size of the clothing processing device 100 is further reduced.

[0069] In addition, since the overall height of the clothing processing device 100 is reduced, on the one hand, it is convenient for users to operate the drying device located on the upper part of the clothing processing device 100; on the other hand, the clothing processing device 100 is more symmetrical as a whole, which improves the aesthetics of the clothing processing device 100.

[0070] It is understandable that the compressor 30 has a certain size in the height direction. After the base 10 is assembled on the frame 20, the compressor 30 is avoided by the avoidance area 11a. That is to say, the compressor 30 and the base 10 are not stacked in the height direction, but are surrounded by the avoidance area 11a on the side of the compressor 30. On the one hand, after the compressor 30 and the base 10 are assembled on the frame 20, the layout of the parts of the clothing processing device 100 is more reasonable, so that the space utilization rate of the clothing processing device 100 is higher, thereby reducing the overall height of the clothing processing device 100 to a certain extent; on the other hand, the base 10 does not need to form a bearing wall for supporting the compressor 30 at the avoidance area 11a, and the size of the base 10 in the height direction is reduced, thereby further reducing the overall height of the clothing processing device 100. Since the overall height of the clothing processing device 100 is reduced, the convenience of use and operation is improved. At the same time, the reduction of the overall height of the clothing processing device 100 also improves the overall aesthetics of the clothing processing device 100.

[0071] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present application provides a base 10 as described in the above embodiment, and the base 10 is used in a clothes processing device 100 .

[0072] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The base 10 has a first side and a second side opposite to each other. The first side is provided with a first installation area, the first installation area includes an avoidance area 11a and a mounting cavity 11d with a bottom wall, and the second side is provided with a second installation area 10a with a bottom wall.

[0073] In this embodiment, the base 10 is provided with the installation cavity 11d and the second installation area 10a, so that the space inside the laundry processing device 100 is larger, which can meet the installation of more parts. In other words, when the size of the parts remains unchanged, the base 10 can increase the space inside the laundry processing device 100, so that the original space used to install these parts of the laundry processing device 100 can be reduced, thereby compressing the size of the laundry processing device 100 to a certain extent and reducing its height.

[0074] The components installed in the installation cavity 11d are not limited. For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The mounting cavity 11 d is used to mount the motor 80 of the laundry processing apparatus 100 .

[0075] The motor 80 is used to drive the cylinder 60 to rotate. Figure 1 The motor 80 drives the drying drum to rotate through the pulley, so that the clothes in the drying chamber can be dried evenly.

[0076] By setting the size of the installation cavity 11d to accommodate the motor 80, the space utilization rate of the laundry processing apparatus 100 is higher and the layout is more compact.

[0077] The components installed in the second installation area 10a are not limited. For example, please refer to Figure 4 The second installation area 10a is used to install the heat exchanger 40 of the laundry processing apparatus 100.

[0078] It should be noted that the heat exchanger 40 includes the evaporator and condenser mentioned above.

[0079] The second installation area 10a is connected to the air circulation channel mentioned above. The humid air flow after drying the clothes can enter the second installation area 10a through the air circulation channel, and then be dehumidified by the evaporator, and then be heated by the condenser to form a dry hot air flow, and then return to the drying chamber through the air circulation channel for drying the clothes.

[0080] Specifically, a avoidance area 11 a is formed on a first side of the base 10 , and a second installation area 10 a is formed on a second side of the base 10 .

[0081] It is understandable that in order to ensure the drying effect of the clothes drying device, it is necessary to increase the heat exchange area of ​​the evaporator and the condenser as much as possible to increase the temperature of the hot air flow used to dry the clothes.

[0082] It can be understood that the second side of the base 10 can have a larger size in the height direction, that is, a second installation area 10a of a larger size can be designed on the second side of the base 10. In this way, the size of the second installation area 10a can be increased as much as possible without increasing the overall height of the clothing processing device 100, thereby adapting to a larger size of the heat exchanger 40 to improve the drying performance of the clothing processing device 100.

[0083] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , along the direction from the second side to the first side, the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 gradually decreases.

[0084] It should be noted that there are many ways to gradually lower the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 along the direction from the second side of the base 10 to the first side of the base 10. For example, in some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10, the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 is stepped, that is, the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 has a plurality of step surfaces. The upper part of the stepped heat exchanger 40 can avoid the cylinder 60. In this way, along the direction from the second side of the base 10 to the first side of the base 10, while the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 is gradually lowered, the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 can also have a plurality of step surfaces. The heat exchanger 40 can be in contact with the base 10 through the plurality of step surfaces, that is, the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 is in planar contact with the base 10. In this way, the heat exchanger 40 can be better installed in the second installation area 10a, which is conducive to the base 10 to better fix the heat exchanger 40 and reduce the shaking of the heat exchanger 40.

[0085] In other embodiments, at least a portion of the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 is tilted downward along the direction from the second side of the base 10 to the first side of the base 10 so that the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 is gradually lowered, thereby allowing the top of the heat exchanger 40 to avoid the cylinder 60.

[0086] In some other embodiments, at least a portion of the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 forms a downwardly concave arc surface, so that the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 gradually lowers from the second side of the base 10 to the first side of the base 10, so that the upper part of the heat exchanger 40 can avoid the cylinder 60.

[0087] For example, see Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The base 10 includes a base body 11 and a cover body 12. The cover body 12 is covered on the base body 11 and is surrounded by the base body 11 to form a second installation area 10a. The two ends of the heat exchanger 40 along the height direction are clamped between the cover body 12 and the base body 11.

[0088] In this embodiment, the function of the cover 12 is to facilitate the second installation area 10a to be set to an open type, so as to facilitate the installation of components such as the heat exchanger 40 in the second installation area 10a.

[0089] See also Figure 5 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The two ends of the heat exchanger 40 along the height direction are clamped between the cover body 12 and the base body 11. In this way, the cover body 12 and the base body 11 can clamp the two ends of the heat exchanger 40 along the height direction, and the cover body 12 and the base body 11 can press the heat exchanger 40 in the second installation area 10a, so that the airflow in the airflow circulation channel can flow through the fins of the heat exchanger 40 instead of passing through the gap between the heat exchanger 40 and the cover body 12 and the base body 11, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0090] For example, see Figure 4 and Fig.10 , the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 is adapted to the shape of the surface of the cover 12. The shape adaptation of the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 and the surface of the cover 12 means that at least the surface of the cover 12 facing the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 is adapted to the shape of the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40, so that the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 is convenient to fit with the surface of the cover 12, and it is convenient to achieve the sealing cooperation between the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 and the cover 12, so that the airflow in the airflow circulation channel can flow through the fins of the heat exchanger 40 instead of passing through the gap between the heat exchanger 40 and the cover 12 and the base 11, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0091] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Fig.10 The upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 is stepped, that is, the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 has a plurality of stepped surfaces. The upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 is adapted to the shape of the surface of the cover 12. Therefore, the surface of the cover 12 can also be provided with a plurality of stepped surfaces, and the stepped surfaces on the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 correspond to the stepped surfaces on the lower surface of the cover 12 one by one, which further facilitates the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 to fit the surface of the cover 12, thereby improving the sealing between the heat exchanger 40 and the cover 12.

[0092] Of course, in other embodiments, the contact surfaces of the heat exchanger 40 and the cover body 12 can be matching inclined surfaces at the same time, or matching curved surfaces at the same time.

[0093] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 A partial area of ​​the base 10 between the first side and the second side is recessed to form an escape space 11b, which is used to escape the drum 60 of the laundry processing device 100. The escape space 11b is formed at the top and / or bottom of the base 10.

[0094] The following is an example in which both the top and the bottom of the base 10 are recessed to form the escape space 11 b.

[0095] See also Figure 4 After the avoidance space 11b is formed on the top of the base 10, along the height direction, the top wall of the base 10 located between the first side and the second side is lower than the top wall of the base 10 located on the first side and / or the second side.

[0096] In this embodiment, it can also be understood in the following manner:

[0097] In the initial state, the top of the base 10 can be understood as a plane, and there is a certain gap between the first side of the base 10 and the second side of the base 10 and the cylinder 60. If the first side of the base 10 and the second side of the base 10 both need to ensure a certain size in the height direction, the area between the first side of the base 10 and the second side of the base 10 can be recessed downward to form an escape space 11b, and the base 10 after the escape space 11b is formed is the final state of the base 10.

[0098] It is understandable that the top of the base 10 formed with the avoidance space 11b can better adapt to the bottom of the cylindrical drying drum. When the overall height of the clothing processing device 100 remains unchanged, the bottom of the drying drum can protrude more, thereby improving the capacity of the drying chamber to a certain extent.

[0099] Of course, when the structural shape of the dryer remains unchanged, the bottom of the dryer can invade downward into the avoidance space 11b at the top of the base 10, and the gap between the first side of the base 10 and the second side of the base 10 and the dryer is reduced. The clothing processing device 100 will not produce excessive space waste, thereby making the layout of the clothing processing device 100 more compact. At the same time, the installation height of the dryer can also be reduced, and the overall height of the clothing processing device 100 can also be reduced.

[0100] Likewise, please continue to read Figure 4 After the avoidance space 11b is formed at the bottom of the base 10, along the height direction, the bottom wall of the base 10 located between the first side and the second side is higher than the bottom wall of the base 10 located on the first side and / or the second side.

[0101] The cooperation mode between the bottom of the base 10 and the washing drum can refer to the cooperation mode between the top of the base 10 and the drying drum, and the technical effects produced can also be understood by reference, so this application will not go into details here.

[0102] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The first installation area also includes an installation space 11 c. The installation space 11 c is defined below a portion of the bottom wall of the base 10. The installation space 11 c is used to install the cleaning medium delivery box 70 of the laundry processing device 100.

[0103] It should be noted that the installation space 11 c can be directly used to connect the cleaning medium delivery box 70 , or it can form an installation area for accommodating the cleaning medium delivery box 70 .

[0104] The cleaning medium delivery box 70 can be used to deliver cleaning medium into the washing chamber, thereby improving the washing effect of the clothes processing device 100 .

[0105] The type of cleaning medium is not limited, for example, it can be a fluid substance such as laundry detergent, softener, disinfectant, or a granular substance such as laundry powder, or laundry beads.

[0106] It has been explained above that a certain gap can be formed between the first side of the base 10 and the washing drum. By arranging the cleaning medium delivery box 70 in this gap, it is helpful to improve the compactness of the layout of the clothing processing device 100, thereby reducing the overall height of the clothing processing device 100.

[0107] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The installation space 11c is arranged adjacent to the avoidance area 11a, and along the height direction, the bottom wall of the base 10 where the installation space 11c is arranged is higher than the bottom wall of the base 10 located on the second side.

[0108] It can be understood that the bottom of the second side of the base 10 will protrude downward to increase the size of the second installation area 10a, while the bottom of the first side of the base 10 does not need to extend downward, so that after the cleaning medium delivery box 70 is set at the bottom of the first side of the base 10, the height of the first side of the base 10 plus the cleaning medium delivery box 70 will not be much different from the height of the second side of the base 10. The cleaning medium delivery box 70 can be installed in the idle space of the clothing processing device 100, so that the spatial layout of the components of the clothing processing device 100 is more reasonable and the structure is more compact. At the same time, the overall height of the clothing processing device 100 is reduced to a certain extent.

[0109] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The minimum dimension of the base 10 along the height direction is between 5 mm (millimeter) and 30 mm (millimeter).

[0110] It is understandable that when the escape spaces 11b are provided at both the top and the bottom of the base 10, the minimum size is between the two escape spaces 11b at the top and the bottom of the base 10. When the minimum size of the base 10 is within this range, the overall height of the clothing processing device 100 can be better compressed while ensuring that the base 10 has a certain structural strength and can bear a certain weight.

[0111] Specifically, the minimum dimension of the base 10 along the height direction can be 5mm, 7mm, 9mm, 11mm, 13mm, 15mm, 17mm, 19mm, 21mm, 23mm, 25mm, 27mm, 29mm, 30mm, etc.

[0112] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 8 The laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a mounting member 50 , and the compressor 30 is connected to the frame 20 via the mounting member 50 .

[0113] Specifically, the mounting member 50 may be formed with an accommodation space 50 a in which the compressor 30 is disposed.

[0114] In this embodiment, the mounting member 50 can facilitate the connection between the compressor 30 and the frame 20, and the accommodating space 50a can provide a certain degree of protection for the compressor 30, effectively reducing the risk of other components colliding with the compressor 30 during the use of the clothing processing device 100, thereby improving the reliability of the operation of the compressor 30, and the clothing processing device 100 is more stable during use, and the user experience is better.

[0115] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to Figures 6 to 8 The base 10 has adjacent first and third sides, and the frame 20 includes a first connecting beam 21 and a second connecting beam 22; the first connecting beam 21 is located on the first side, and the second connecting beam 22 is located on the third side, and the mounting member 50 is connected to the first connecting beam 21 and / or the second connecting beam 22.

[0116] The specific structures of the first connecting beam 21 and the second connecting beam 22 are not limited, and can be, for example, a plate-like structure or a columnar structure.

[0117] The arrangement of the first connecting beam 21 and the second connecting beam 22 can facilitate the arrangement of the base 10 and the compressor 30 on the frame 20 .

[0118] For example, see Figure 6 The frame 20 includes a plurality of cross beams 23 , a plurality of vertical beams 24 arranged at intervals, and a bottom plate 25 . The bottom end of each vertical beam 24 is connected to the bottom plate 25 , and the plurality of cross beams 23 are arranged on the top ends of the vertical beams 24 .

[0119] In a specific embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 8 The projection of the frame 20 on the horizontal plane is roughly rectangular, and it includes vertical beams 24 arranged at intervals, and the tops of two adjacent vertical beams 24 are respectively connected to horizontal beams 23, and the bottom ends of the vertical beams 24 are connected to the bottom plate 25. In this way, the structure of the frame 20 can be simple and the deadweight is relatively light, which can provide support for the clothes processing device 100 and provide a certain space for the installation of the washing device and the drying device.

[0120] In some embodiments, the mounting member 50 is connected to the first connecting beam 21. In this embodiment, the mounting member 50 is only connected to the first connecting beam 21, and is not connected to the second connecting beam 22. The connection structure is simple, easy to operate, and has high assembly efficiency.

[0121] In other embodiments, the mounting member 50 is connected to the second connecting beam 22. In this embodiment, the mounting member 50 is only connected to the second connecting beam 22, and is not connected to the first connecting beam 21. The connection structure is simple, easy to operate, and has high assembly efficiency.

[0122] In some other embodiments, please refer to Figures 6 to 8 The mounting member 50 is connected to both the first connecting beam 21 and the second connecting beam 22. In this embodiment, the connection structure between the mounting bracket and the frame 20 has high reliability.

[0123] The distance between the compressor 30 and the first connecting beam 21 is not limited. For example, see Figure 6 The distance between the compressor 30 and the first connecting beam 21 is between 10 mm and 20 mm. In this way, the compressor 30 can be located as far away from the center line of the cylinder 60 as possible.

[0124] It can be understood that the farther the distance from the center line of the cylinder 60, the larger the distance between the cylinder 60 and the base 10. In this way, when the size of the compressor 30 along the height direction is constant, the size of the clothing processing device 100 along the height direction can be compressed as much as possible.

[0125] Specifically, the spacing between the compressor 30 and the first connecting beam 21 may be 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm, 14 mm, 15 mm, 16 mm, 17 mm, 18 mm, 19 mm, 20 mm, etc.

[0126] The distance between the compressor 30 and the second connecting beam 22 is not limited. For example, see Figure 6 , the distance between the compressor 30 and the second connecting beam 22 is between 40 mm and 60 mm. In this way, the layout of components of the laundry processing device 100 on the first side of the base 10 can be made more compact.

[0127] Specifically, the spacing between the compressor 30 and the second connecting beam 22 may be 40 mm, 42 mm, 44 mm, 46 mm, 48 mm, 50 mm, 52 mm, 54 mm, 56 mm, 58 mm, 60 mm, etc.

[0128] In one embodiment, the cylinder 60 includes an upper cylinder disposed above the base 10 and a lower cylinder disposed below the base 10 .

[0129] It should be noted that the types of the upper drum and the lower drum are not limited. The upper drum and the lower drum can be one of the washing drums or drying drums mentioned above.

[0130] Exemplarily, the upper drum is a drying drum and the lower drum is a washing drum for illustration.

[0131] The projections of the compressor 30 and the lower drum on the plane parallel to the height direction have a first overlapping area, and the projections of the compressor 30 and the upper drum on the plane parallel to the height direction have a second overlapping area. That is, the drying drum, the compressor 30 and the washing drum are not stacked in the height direction, so that the compressor 30 will not occupy too much size of the clothing processing device 100 in the height direction, and the clothing processing device 100 basically only needs to meet the size of the washing drum and the drying drum stacked in the height direction, so that the layout of the clothing processing device 100 is more reasonable and the space utilization rate is higher.

[0132] The maximum size of the second overlapping area in the height direction is 1 to 1.5 times the maximum size of the first overlapping area in the height direction. In other words, the compressor 30 is closer to the drying drum as a whole, so that the influence of the vibration of the washing drum on the compressor 30 can be effectively reduced.
