A base and clothing processing device

Abstract

This application provides a base and a garment processing device. The garment processing device includes a drum, a frame, and a compressor. A clearance area is formed on the base, located on one side of the drum along the axial direction. The compressor passes through the clearance area and is fixedly mounted on the frame. In this embodiment, after the base is assembled onto the frame, it avoids the compressor through the clearance area. That is, the compressor and the base are not stacked along the height direction, but rather the compressor is surrounded by the clearance area. The base does not need to form a support wall for the compressor at the clearance area, thus reducing the height of the base and consequently lowering the overall height of the garment processing device. Because the overall height of the garment processing device is reduced, it becomes more convenient to use.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing processing equipment technology, and in particular to a base and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Current garment handling equipment, taking washer-dryer combos as an example, typically consists of a washing system and a drying system, which are usually arranged vertically in layers. This results in a relatively high overall height for the garment handling equipment, leading to higher manufacturing costs and also impacting ease of use to some extent. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the embodiments of this application aim to provide a base and clothing processing device with a relatively reasonable and compact layout and a small overall height.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this application provides a base for a garment processing device. The garment processing device includes a cylinder, a frame, and a compressor. A clearance area is formed on the base, located on one side of the cylinder along the axial direction. The compressor passes through the clearance area and is fixedly mounted on the frame.

[0005] In one embodiment, the minimum dimension of the base along the height direction is between 5mm and 30mm.

[0006] In one embodiment, the base has a first side and a second side opposite to each other. The first side is provided with a first mounting area, which includes the avoidance area and a mounting cavity with a bottom wall. The second side is provided with a second mounting area with a bottom wall.

[0007] In one embodiment, a portion of the base located between the first side and the second side is recessed to form a clearance space, the clearance space being used to avoid the cylinder of the garment processing device, the clearance space being formed at the top and / or bottom of the base.

[0008] In one embodiment, the first installation area further includes an installation space, which is defined below a portion of the bottom wall of the base, and the installation space is used to accommodate the cleaning medium dispensing box of the garment processing device.

[0009] In one embodiment, the installation space is arranged adjacent to the avoidance area, and along the height direction, the base has a bottom wall at the installation space that is higher than the bottom wall of the base located on the second side.

[0010] In one embodiment, the mounting cavity is used to mount the motor of the garment processing equipment.

[0011] In one embodiment, the second mounting area is used to mount the heat exchanger of the garment processing equipment.

[0012] Another embodiment of this application provides a garment processing device, including:

[0013] frame;

[0014] The cylinder is mounted on the frame;

[0015] The base described in any of the above embodiments is disposed on the frame;

[0016] The compressor passes through the avoidance area and is fixedly mounted on the frame.

[0017] In one embodiment, the garment processing equipment further includes a mounting component, through which the compressor is connected to the frame.

[0018] In one embodiment, the base has adjacent first and third sides, and the frame includes a first connecting beam and a second connecting beam;

[0019] The first connecting beam is located on the first side, the second connecting beam is located on the third side, and the mounting component is connected to the first connecting beam and / or the second connecting beam.

[0020] In one embodiment, the distance between the compressor and the first connecting beam is between 10 mm and 20 mm.

[0021] In one embodiment, the distance between the compressor and the second connecting beam is between 40mm and 60mm.

[0022] In one embodiment, the cylindrical body includes an upper cylinder disposed above the base and a lower cylinder disposed below the base;

[0023] The compressor and the lower cylinder have a first overlapping region when projected onto a plane parallel to the height direction, and the compressor and the upper cylinder have a second overlapping region when projected onto a plane parallel to the height direction. The maximum size of the second overlapping region in the height direction is 1 to 1.5 times the maximum size of the first overlapping region in the height direction.

[0024] In one embodiment, the base has a first side and a second side opposite to each other, the first side forming the avoidance area and the second side forming a second mounting area;

[0025] The garment processing equipment also includes a heat exchanger, which is disposed in the second installation area, and the upper surface of the heat exchanger gradually decreases in the direction from the second side to the first side.

[0026] In one embodiment, the upper surface of the heat exchanger is stepped.

[0027] This application provides a base that, after being assembled onto a frame, avoids the compressor through a clearance area. That is, the compressor and base are not stacked along the height direction, but rather surround the compressor through the clearance area. On one hand, after the compressor and base are assembled on the frame, the layout of the components of the garment processing equipment is more rational, resulting in higher space utilization and thus reducing the overall height of the garment processing equipment to some extent. On the other hand, the base does not need to form a support wall for the compressor at the clearance area, allowing for a reduction in the height dimension of the base, further reducing the overall height of the garment processing equipment. This reduction in overall height improves ease of use and operation. Simultaneously, the reduced overall height of the garment processing equipment also enhances its aesthetic appeal.

[0040] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, and the detailed descriptions in the specific implementation should be understood as explanations of the purpose of this application and should not be regarded as undue limitations on this application.

[0041] In the embodiments of this application, the orientation or positional relationship of "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "height direction", "first side", "second side", and "third side" is based on the appendix. Figure 1 Appendix Figure 4 To be continued Figure 6 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.

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

[0043] One embodiment of this application provides a garment processing device; please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 6 It includes a frame 20, a compressor 30, and a base 10 in any embodiment of this application.

[0044] It should be noted that the specific type of the garment processing equipment 100 is not limited here. The garment processing equipment 100 is used to perform operations such as washing, dehydrating, and drying garments. For example, it can be a dryer or a washer-dryer combo. Exemplarily, this application embodiment describes the garment processing equipment 100 as a washer-dryer combo.

[0045] A washer-dryer combo can wash and dry clothes. This washer-dryer combo includes a frame 20, a washing unit, a drying unit, and a base 10.

[0046] The frame 20 is the main support structure, used for the fixed installation and support of other components of the washer-dryer combo.

[0047] The washing and drying units are arranged vertically in layers along the height direction, and the base 10 is located between the washing and drying units and is fixedly connected to the frame 20.

[0048] It is understood that, along the height direction, the washing unit can be positioned above the drying unit, or the drying unit can be positioned above the washing unit. For example, this application illustrates the scenario where the drying unit is positioned above the washing unit.

[0049] The washing device is fixed to the frame 20 and is used to wash clothes. The washing device includes a washing drum, and the inside of the washing drum has a washing chamber for accommodating clothes.

[0050] The drying device is fixed to the frame 20 and is used to dry the washed clothes. It also has a drying chamber inside.

[0051] The clothes drying device includes a drying drum, an airflow circulation channel, an evaporator, and a condenser. The inside of the drying drum has a drying chamber for holding clothes and a clothes loading port, through which users can take or put clothes. The airflow circulation channel connects to the drying chamber, and the airflow in the airflow circulation channel flows through the evaporator and the condenser.

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

[0053] The working principle of a heat pump system is as follows: Compressor 30 draws in low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, compresses it, and discharges it at high pressure. The discharged high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, where it is cooled by room-temperature air and condenses into a high-pressure liquid (simultaneously transferring heat to the surrounding air). In other words, the air around the condenser is heated. The high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through a capillary tube for throttling and pressure reduction, becoming a low-pressure, low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture before entering the evaporator. The liquid refrigerant evaporates and cools in the evaporator (simultaneously absorbing heat from the surrounding air). In other words, the air around the evaporator is cooled. The resulting low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is drawn back into compressor 30 and pressurized. This cycle repeats continuously, achieving 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 in this embodiment are as follows: Dry hot airflow in the airflow circulation channel enters the drying chamber downstream of the airflow circulation channel. In the drying chamber, the dry hot airflow flows over the surface of the wet clothing, exchanging heat and moisture with the clothing, absorbing moisture from the clothing, and becoming humid hot airflow. The humid hot airflow then flows sequentially through the evaporator and condenser. During its flow through the evaporator, the humid hot airflow is condensed and dehumidified by the evaporator to form a low-temperature dry airflow. This low-temperature dry airflow is heated into dry hot airflow when passing through the condenser. The dry hot airflow then re-enters the drying chamber downstream of the airflow circulation channel, thus circulating continuously and efficiently drying the clothing.

[0055] Heat pump dryers achieve high energy utilization 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 the clothes.

[0056] Please see Figure 1 The garment processing equipment 100 includes a drum 60, which is mounted on a frame 20.

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

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

[0059] The specific shape of the arched structure is not limited. For example, it can be an arc shape, that is, the outer wall of the drying drum and washing drum is formed into a cylindrical shape. This facilitates the rotation of the drying drum and washing drum by external force, so that the clothes can be processed evenly, thereby improving the processing effect of the clothes processing equipment 100 on the clothes.

[0060] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 An avoidance area 11a is formed on the base 10. By setting the avoidance area 11a, the base 10 ensures that the compressor 30 will not interfere with the base 10 during the installation process on the frame 20.

[0061] The specific structure of the avoidance area 11a is not limited. For some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 3 The avoidance area 11a 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 or the like that extending along the top and bottom direction.

[0063] The compressor 30 passes through the avoidance area 11a and is fixedly mounted on the frame 20. That is to say, in the clothing processing equipment 100 of this application embodiment, the weight of the compressor 30 is not supported by the base 10, but by 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 a direct connection or an indirect connection to the compressor 30 through other components.

[0065] It is understandable that after the frame 20 supports the compressor 30, the base 10 does not need to bear the task of supporting the compressor 30. In this way, the structural strength requirement of the base 10 can be reduced, and the base 10 can be thinned accordingly, thereby reducing the height of the base 10 to a certain extent, and thus reducing the overall height of the clothing processing equipment 100.

[0066] As can be seen from the above, the cylinder 60 is cylindrical, and during the use of the garment processing equipment 100, the axial direction is the direction of the center line of the cylindrical cylinder 60.

[0067] It is understandable that when the side of the base 10 facing the cylinder 60 is considered as a plane, a certain gap will be formed between the cylindrical cylinder 60 and the base 10 along the axial direction.

[0068] The clearance area 11a is located on one side of the cylinder 60 along the axial direction. In this way, the dimension of the compressor 30 along the height direction can be accommodated within the gap between one side of the cylinder 60 along the axial direction and the base 10. This space can be fully utilized, thereby making the layout of the garment processing equipment 100 more compact in the height direction and further reducing the overall height dimension of the garment processing equipment 100.

[0069] In addition, since the overall height of the garment processing equipment 100 has been reduced, on the one hand, it is easier for users to operate the drying device located on the top of the garment processing equipment 100; on the other hand, the garment processing equipment 100 is more symmetrical, which improves its aesthetics.

[0070] It is understandable that the compressor 30 has a certain dimension in the height direction. After the base 10 is assembled onto the frame 20, it avoids the compressor 30 through the clearance area 11a. That is to say, the compressor 30 and the base 10 are not stacked along the height direction, but are surrounded by the clearance area 11a around the compressor 30. On the one hand, after the compressor 30 and the base 10 are assembled on the frame 20, the layout between the components of the garment processing equipment 100 is more reasonable, resulting in higher space utilization and thus reducing the overall height of the garment processing equipment 100 to a certain extent. On the other hand, the base 10 does not need to form a supporting wall for the compressor 30 at the clearance area 11a, and the dimension of the base 10 in the height direction can be reduced, thereby further reducing the overall height of the garment processing equipment 100. The reduction in the overall height of the garment processing equipment 100 improves the convenience of use and operation. At the same time, the reduction in the overall height of the garment processing equipment 100 also improves the overall aesthetics of the garment processing equipment 100.

[0071] Another aspect of this application provides a base 10 as described in the above embodiment, the base 10 being used for a garment 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 mounting area, which includes a clearance area 11a and a mounting cavity 11d with a bottom wall. The second side is provided with a second mounting area 10a with a bottom wall.

[0073] In this embodiment, the base 10, by providing the mounting cavity 11d and the second mounting area 10a, increases the internal space of the garment processing device 100, accommodating the installation of more components. In other words, without changing the component dimensions, the base 10 increases the internal space of the garment processing device 100, thus reducing the space originally used for installing these components. This, to some extent, reduces the size and height of the garment processing device 100.

[0074] The components mounted in mounting cavity 11d are not limited. For example, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 4 The mounting cavity 11d is used to install the motor 80 of the garment processing equipment 100.

[0075] Motor 80 is used to drive the cylinder 60 to rotate. For an example, please refer to [link to example]. Figure 1 The motor 80 drives the drying drum to rotate via a pulley, so that the clothes in the drying chamber can be dried evenly.

[0076] By setting the size of the mounting cavity 11d to accommodate the motor 80, the space utilization of the garment processing equipment 100 is improved and the layout is made more compact.

[0077] The components installed in the second mounting 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 clothing processing equipment 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 airflow circulation channel mentioned above. The humid airflow after drying clothes can enter the second installation area 10a through the airflow circulation channel, be dehumidified by the evaporator, be heated by the condenser to form a dry hot airflow, and then return to the drying chamber through the airflow circulation channel to dry clothes.

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

[0081] Understandably, to ensure the drying effect of the dryer, it is necessary to increase the heat exchange area of ​​the evaporator and condenser as much as possible to increase the temperature of the hot airflow used to dry clothes.

[0082] Understandably, the second side of the base 10 can have a larger dimension in the height direction, that is, a larger second mounting area 10a can be designed on the second side of the base 10. In this way, the size of the second mounting area 10a can be increased as much as possible without increasing the overall height of the garment processing equipment 100, so as to accommodate a larger heat exchanger 40 and improve the drying performance of the garment processing equipment 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 various ways in which the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 gradually decreases 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 refer to... Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10The upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 is stepped, meaning it has multiple stepped surfaces. The stepped shape of the heat exchanger 40 allows the top of the cylinder 60 to pass over it. Thus, along the direction from the second side to the first side of the base 10, while the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 gradually decreases, it also has multiple stepped surfaces. The heat exchanger 40 can abut against the base 10 through these stepped surfaces, meaning the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 and the base 10 are in planar contact. This allows for better installation of the heat exchanger 40 within the second mounting area 10a, facilitating better fixation of the heat exchanger 40 by the base 10 and reducing 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 inclined 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 gradually decreases, thereby allowing the top of the heat exchanger 40 to avoid the cylinder 60.

[0086] In other embodiments, at least a portion of the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 forms a concave arc surface, such that the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 gradually decreases in the direction from the second side of the base 10 to the first side of the base 10, thereby allowing the top of the heat exchanger 40 to avoid the cylinder 60.

[0087] For example, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The base 10 includes a base body 11 and a cover body 12. The cover body 12 covers the base body 11 and forms a second installation area 10a with the base body 11. The heat exchanger 40 is sandwiched between the cover body 12 and the base body 11 along the height direction.

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

[0089] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The heat exchanger 40 is clamped between the cover 12 and the base 11 at both ends along the height direction. In this way, the cover 12 and the base 11 can hold the heat exchanger 40 at both ends along the height direction, and the cover 12 and the base 11 can press the heat exchanger 40 into the second mounting area 10a. This allows the airflow in the airflow circulation channel to 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.

[0090] For example, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 10 The upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 is shaped to match the surface of the cover 12. This means that at least the surface of the cover 12 facing the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 is shaped to match the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40. This facilitates a close fit between the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 and the surface of the cover 12, ensuring a tight seal. This allows airflow in the airflow circulation channel to pass through the fins of the heat exchanger 40, rather than through the gap between the heat exchanger 40, the cover 12, and the base 11, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency.

[0091] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 10 The upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 is stepped, meaning it has multiple stepped surfaces. Since the shape of the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 matches the surface of the cover 12, the surface of the cover 12 can also have multiple stepped surfaces. The stepped surfaces of the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 correspond one-to-one with the stepped surfaces of the lower surface of the cover 12, further facilitating the fit between the upper surface of the heat exchanger 40 and the surface of the cover 12, and improving the sealing between them.

[0092] Of course, in other embodiments, the contact surfaces of the heat exchanger 40 and the cover 12 can be both adapted inclined surfaces or both adapted curved surfaces.

[0093] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The base 10 is recessed in a portion of the area between the first and second sides to form a clearance space 11b. The clearance space 11b is used to avoid the cylinder 60 of the clothing handling device 100. The clearance space 11b is formed at the top and / or bottom of the base 10.

[0094] The following example illustrates this with the base 10 having recessed top and bottom sections forming clearance space 11b.

[0095] Please see Figure 4 After the top of the base 10 forms the clearance space 11b, 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 as follows:

[0097] In its initial state, the top of the base 10 can be considered as a plane, and there are certain gaps between the first side and the second side of the base 10 and the cylinder 60. If the first side and the second side of the base 10 need to maintain a certain dimension along the height direction, the area between the first side and the second side of the base 10 can be recessed downward to form a clearance space 11b. The base 10 after forming the clearance space 11b is the final state of the base 10.

[0098] Understandably, the top of the base 10 with the clearance space 11b can better fit the bottom of the cylindrical drying drum. With the overall height of the clothing handling equipment 100 remaining unchanged, the bottom of the drying drum can protrude more, which to some extent increases the capacity of the drying chamber.

[0099] Of course, without changing the structural shape of the dryer, the bottom of the dryer can be inserted into the clearance space 11b at the top of the base 10. The gap between the first side and the second side of the base 10 and the dryer is reduced, so that the clothing processing equipment 100 will not waste too much space, thus making the layout of the clothing processing equipment 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 equipment 100 can also be reduced.

[0100] Similarly, please continue reading Figure 4 After the bottom of the base 10 forms the clearance space 11b, 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 way the bottom of the base 10 fits into the washing drum can be referenced to the way the top of the base 10 fits into the drying drum. The resulting technical effects can also be understood and referenced. This application will not elaborate further here.

[0102] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The first installation area also includes an installation space 11c, which is formed by defining a portion of the bottom wall of the base 10. The installation space 11c is used to install the cleaning medium dispensing box 70 of the clothing processing equipment 100.

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

[0104] The cleaning medium dispensing box 70 can be used to dispense cleaning medium into the washing chamber, thereby improving the washing effect of the garment processing equipment 100.

[0105] The type of cleaning medium is not limited. For example, it can be liquid substances such as laundry detergent, fabric softener, and disinfectant, or granular substances such as laundry powder, or laundry pods.

[0106] As mentioned above, a certain gap can be formed between the first side of the base 10 and the washing drum. By placing the cleaning medium dispensing box 70 in this gap, it is beneficial to improve the compactness of the layout of the clothing processing equipment 100, thereby reducing the overall height of the clothing processing equipment 100.

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

[0108] Understandably, the bottom of the second side of the base 10 will protrude downwards 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 downwards. This means that after the cleaning medium dispensing box 70 is installed 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 dispensing box 70 will not differ much from the height of the second side of the base 10. The cleaning medium dispensing box 70 can be installed using the unused space of the clothing processing equipment 100, making the spatial layout of the components of the clothing processing equipment 100 more reasonable and the structure more compact. At the same time, it reduces the overall height of the clothing processing equipment 100 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 and 30 mm.

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

[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 garment processing equipment 100 also includes a mounting bracket 50, through which the compressor 30 is connected to the frame 20.

[0113] Specifically, the mounting component 50 may form a receiving space 50a, in which the compressor 30 is disposed.

[0114] In this embodiment, the mounting component 50 facilitates the connection between the compressor 30 and the frame 20, and the accommodating space 50a provides 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 equipment 100, thereby improving the reliability of the compressor 30's operation, making the clothing processing equipment 100 more stable during use, and providing a better user experience.

[0115] In one embodiment, please 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, 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 structure of the first connecting beam 21 and the second connecting beam 22 is not limited. For example, it can be a plate structure or a column structure.

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

[0118] For example, please refer to Figure 6 The frame 20 includes multiple crossbeams 23, multiple spaced vertical beams 24, and a base plate 25. The bottom end of each vertical beam 24 is connected to the base plate 25, and the multiple crossbeams 23 are located at the top of the vertical beams 24.

[0119] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 8 The frame 20 is roughly rectangular in shape when projected onto a horizontal plane. It includes spaced vertical beams 24, with a horizontal beam 23 connecting the top of each adjacent vertical beam 24. The bottom of each vertical beam 24 is connected to a base plate 25. This design allows the frame 20 to have a simple structure and light weight, providing both support for the garment processing equipment 100 and sufficient space for the installation of the washing and drying units.

[0120] In some embodiments, the mounting component 50 is connected to the first connecting beam 21. In this embodiment, the mounting component 50 is only connected to the first connecting beam 21 and not to the second connecting beam 22, resulting in a simple connection structure, easy operation, and high assembly efficiency.

[0121] In other embodiments, the mounting component 50 is connected to the second connecting beam 22. In this embodiment, the mounting component 50 is only connected to the second connecting beam 22 and not to the first connecting beam 21, resulting in a simple connection structure, easy operation, and high assembly efficiency.

[0122] For some other implementations, please refer to Figures 6 to 8 The mounting component 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, please refer to... Figure 6 The distance between the compressor 30 and the first connecting beam 21 is between 10mm and 20mm. This allows the compressor 30 to be positioned as far away as possible from the centerline of the cylinder 60.

[0124] It is understandable that the greater the distance from the center line of the cylinder 60, the greater the gap between the cylinder 60 and the base 10. In this way, with the dimension of the compressor 30 in the height direction being fixed, the dimension of the clothing processing device 100 in the height direction can be compressed as much as possible.

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

[0126] The distance between the compressor 30 and the second connecting beam 22 is not limited. For example, please refer to... Figure 6 The distance between the compressor 30 and the second connecting beam 22 is between 40mm and 60mm. This allows for a more compact layout of the components of the garment processing device 100 on the first side of the base 10.

[0127] Specifically, the distance between the compressor 30 and the second connecting beam 22 can be 40mm, 42mm, 44mm, 46mm, 48mm, 50mm, 52mm, 54mm, 56mm, 58mm, 60mm, 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 there are no restrictions on the type of upper and lower drum. Both the upper and lower drums can be one of the washing drums or dryers mentioned above.

[0130] For example, the upper drum is described as a drying drum and the lower drum as a washing drum.

[0131] The projections of the compressor 30 and the lower drum onto a plane parallel to the height direction have a first overlapping area, and the projections of the compressor 30 and the upper drum onto a plane parallel to the height direction have a second overlapping area. That is, the dryer, compressor 30, and washing drum are not stacked along the height direction. Therefore, the compressor 30 does not occupy too much space in the garment handling equipment 100 along the height direction. The garment handling equipment 100 basically only needs to accommodate the dimensions of the washing drum and dryer stacked along the height direction, resulting in a more rational layout and higher space utilization of the garment handling equipment 100.

[0132] The maximum dimension of the second overlapping region in the height direction is 1 to 1.5 times the maximum dimension of the first overlapping region in the height direction. In other words, the compressor 30 is closer to the dryer drum, which effectively reduces the impact of the washing drum vibration on the compressor 30.
