Detailed Implementation
[0041] 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.
[0042] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the terms "top," "bottom," "first side," "second side," "third side," and "fourth side," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the appendix. Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 4 The directions or positional relationships shown refer to the "height direction". Figure 2 The terms "top and bottom orientation" are used only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this application and for 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 on the embodiments of this application. The application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0043] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this application provides a garment processing device. The garment processing device includes a frame 10, a mounting bracket 21, and a compressor 30. The frame 10 has adjacent first and second sides. The frame 10 includes a first connecting beam 11 and a second connecting beam 12. The first connecting beam 11 is located on the first side of the frame 10, and the second connecting beam 12 is located on the second side of the frame 10. The compressor 30 is connected to the first connecting beam 11 and / or the second connecting beam 12 via the mounting bracket 21.
[0044] The garment processing equipment is at least capable of drying clothes. Specifically, the garment processing equipment has an airflow circulation channel in which the airflow dries the clothes.
[0045] It should be noted that the specific type of clothing processing equipment is not limited here, as long as it can be used to dry clothes, such as a dryer or a washer-dryer combo. This application describes the clothing processing equipment as a washer-dryer combo as an example.
[0046] A washer-dryer combo can wash and dry clothes. This washer-dryer combo includes a frame 10, a washing unit, a drying unit, and a base 50.
[0047] The frame 10 is the main support structure, used for the fixed installation and support of other components of the garment processing equipment.
[0048] The washing unit is fixed to the frame 10 and is used to wash clothes. It has a washing chamber inside to accommodate the clothes.
[0049] The drying unit is fixed to the frame 10, and preferably positioned above the washing machine. The drying unit is used to dry the washed clothes, and has a clothes handling chamber inside.
[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The base 50 is positioned between the washing unit and the drying unit and is fixedly connected to the frame 10.
[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 clothes handling chamber for holding clothes and a clothes loading port, through which users can take or put clothes. The airflow circulation channel connects to the clothes handling 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. In other words, the clothing processing equipment in this 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 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), meaning the air around the evaporator is cooled. The resulting low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is then 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 in this embodiment are as follows: Dry, hot airflow from the airflow circulation channel enters the clothing processing chamber downstream of the airflow direction. In the clothing processing chamber, the dry, hot airflow flows over the surface of the wet clothing, exchanging heat and moisture with the clothing, absorbing moisture and becoming a humid, hot airflow. This 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, forming a low-temperature, dry airflow. This low-temperature, dry airflow is then heated into a dry, hot airflow as it passes through the condenser. The dry, hot airflow then re-enters the clothing processing chamber downstream of the airflow circulation channel, and this cycle repeats, achieving continuous and efficient drying of 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 2 and Figure 3 The compressor 30 is connected to the first connecting beam 11 and / or the second connecting beam 12 via the mounting bracket 21, that is, the compressor 30 is mounted on the frame 10 via the mounting bracket 21.
[0057] The compressor 30 is connected to the first connecting beam 11 and / or the second connecting beam 12 via a mounting bracket 21. In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 21 is connected to the first connecting beam 11. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 21 is only connected to the first connecting beam 11 and not to the second connecting beam 12, resulting in a simple connection structure, easy operation, and high assembly efficiency.
[0058] In other embodiments, the mounting bracket 21 is connected to the second connecting beam 12. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 21 is only connected to the second connecting beam 12 and not to the first connecting beam 11, which simplifies the connection structure, facilitates operation, and improves assembly efficiency.
[0059] For some other implementations, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 The mounting bracket 21 is connected to both the first connecting beam 11 and the second connecting beam 12. In this embodiment, the connection structure between the mounting bracket 21 and the frame 10 has high reliability.
[0060] Mounting bracket 21 is used to mount compressor 30 on frame 10. In other words, mounting bracket 21 can provide installation space for compressor 30. By connecting mounting bracket 21 to frame 10, compressor 30 can be mounted on frame 10.
[0061] The garment processing equipment provided in this application includes a frame 10, a mounting bracket 21, and a compressor 30. By setting the mounting bracket 21 and configuring the frame 10 to include a first connecting beam 11 and a second connecting beam 12, the compressor 30 is connected to the first connecting beam 11 and / or the second connecting beam 12 via the mounting bracket 21, i.e., the compressor 30 is mounted on the frame 10 via the mounting bracket 21. Compared to the prior art where the compressor 30 is mounted on a base 50 and the height of the base 50 is large due to structural reinforcement, this application embodiment reduces the height of the base 50 by mounting the compressor 30 on the frame 10, thereby reducing the overall height of the garment processing equipment and making its structure more compact. Furthermore, reducing the overall height of the garment processing equipment improves ease of use and operation, as well as its overall aesthetics.
[0062] For example, the garment processing equipment includes a mounting assembly 20 and a base 50 disposed on the frame 10, with the compressor 30 pre-mounted on the base 50 via the mounting assembly 20.
[0063] The compressor 30 includes a pre-installed state on the base 50 and an assembled state on the frame 10.
[0064] With the compressor 30 in a pre-installed state, the mounting assembly 20 is connected to the base 50.
[0065] Please see Figures 4 to 9 When the compressor 30 is in the assembled state, the mounting component 20 is connected to the frame 10 and is spaced apart from the base 50.
[0066] In other words, the compressor 30 can be pre-installed on the base 50, and then the base 50 and the pre-installed compressor 30 can be installed together on the frame 10. At this time, the connection between the compressor 30 and the base 50 can be disconnected, and then the compressor 30 can be assembled on the frame 10, with a gap between it and the base 50.
[0067] This allows for the assembly of the compressor 30 onto the frame 10 while preventing damage to the base 50 from the vibration of the compressor 30. Compared to the prior art where the compressor 30 is mounted on the base 50 and the height of the base 50 is increased by reinforcing its structure, this embodiment of the application reduces the size of the base 50 to a certain extent by mounting the compressor 30 onto the frame 10, thereby reducing the size of the garment processing equipment and making the structure of the garment processing equipment more compact.
[0068] It should be noted that the specific structure of the mounting component 20 is not limited here; for example, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 2 to 5 , Figure 10 and Figure 12 The mounting assembly 20 includes a mounting bracket 21 and a mounting sleeve 23 connected to the mounting bracket 21. The mounting bracket 21 is connected to the frame 10. The mounting sleeve 23 is provided with a first mounting groove 23a having an opening 23b, in which at least a portion of the compressor 30 is disposed.
[0069] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 21 and the mounting sleeve 23 are an integral structure, for example, a one-piece sheet metal part. That is, the structure is formed from the same metal sheet through a cold working process. For example, the structure is finally obtained after processes such as punching, stamping, and bending. In this way, the structural strength and rigidity of the mounting bracket 21 and the mounting sleeve 23 can be improved, thereby reducing the size of the mounting bracket 21 and the mounting sleeve 23 and making the structure more compact.
[0070] Of course, the mounting bracket 21 and the mounting sleeve 23 can also be a single injection molded part.
[0071] In addition, the integrated mounting bracket 21 and mounting sleeve 23 can reduce the number of parts, reduce assembly time, and improve assembly efficiency.
[0072] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 21 and the mounting sleeve 23 are separate structures, which makes it easier to mold the required shape and structure.
[0073] The connection method between the split-structure mounting bracket 21 and the mounting sleeve 23 is not limited here; for example, it can be welding, riveting, threaded connection, etc.
[0074] Mounting bracket 21 is connected to frame 10, that is, compressor 30 is connected to frame 10 via mounting bracket 21.
[0075] The mounting sleeve 23 is provided with a first mounting groove 23a having an opening 23b, and at least a portion of the compressor 30 is disposed in the first mounting groove 23a. That is, by providing the first mounting groove 23a with an opening 23b, the mounting sleeve 23 is used to accommodate the compressor 30, and at least a portion of the compressor 30 can be inserted into the first mounting groove 23a through the opening 23b, which facilitates the assembly of the compressor 30.
[0076] It should be noted that "at least a portion of the compressor 30 is disposed in the first mounting slot 23a" means that either a portion of the compressor 30 is disposed in the first mounting slot 23a, or the entire compressor 30 is disposed in the first mounting slot 23a.
[0077] The specific connection method between the mounting bracket 21 and the mounting sleeve 23 is not limited here. For example, in some embodiments, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 , Figure 10 and Figure 12 The mounting bracket 21 is provided with a first clearance opening 21e, and the mounting sleeve 23 is provided with a skirt 23c at the opening 23b, with the skirt 23c overlapping the edge of the first clearance opening 21e.
[0078] In other words, by providing a first clearance opening 21e on the mounting bracket 21 to allow the mounting sleeve 23 to pass through, the skirt 23c of the mounting sleeve 23 can overlap the edge of the first clearance opening 21e. This not only secures the mounting sleeve 23 but also positions the first mounting groove 23a below the mounting bracket 21, allowing the compressor 30 to be installed as low as possible. This reduces the overall height of the compressor 30, improving the ease of use and operation. Furthermore, the reduced overall height of the garment processing equipment also enhances its aesthetics.
[0079] The specific fixing method between the skirt 23c of the mounting sleeve 23 and the mounting bracket 21 is not limited here. For example, they can be connected by riveting, welding, snap-fitting or thread fixing.
[0080] In other embodiments, the mounting sleeve 23 may be directly disposed on the bottom surface of the mounting bracket 21, that is, instead of being attached to the edge of the first clearance opening 21e by setting a skirt 23c. Alternatively, part of the mounting sleeve 23 may be located above the mounting bracket 21, and the other part may be located below the mounting bracket 21.
[0081] In some other embodiments, the bottom of the mounting sleeve 23 may be directly mounted on the top surface of the mounting bracket 21.
[0082] For example, in some implementations, please refer to Figures 1 to 9 The frame 10 has adjacent first and second sides. The frame 10 includes a first connecting beam 11 and a second connecting beam 12, the first connecting beam 11 being located on the first side of the frame 10 and the second connecting beam 12 being located on the second side of the frame 10. A mounting bracket 21 is connected to the first connecting beam 11 and / or the second connecting beam 12.
[0083] The arrangement of the first connecting beam 11 and the second connecting beam 12 facilitates the mounting of the base 50 and the compressor 30 on the frame 10.
[0084] For example, please refer to Figures 1 to 9 The frame 10 includes multiple crossbeams 14, multiple spaced vertical beams 13, and a base plate. The bottom end of each vertical beam 13 is connected to the base plate, and the multiple crossbeams 14 are located at the top of the vertical beams 13.
[0085] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 9 The frame 10 has a roughly rectangular projection on the horizontal plane, and includes four spaced vertical beams 13. A horizontal beam 14 is connected between the tops of two adjacent vertical beams 13, and the bottom of each vertical beam 13 is connected to the base plate. In this way, the frame 10 has a simple structure and light weight, which can provide support for the clothing processing equipment and also provide space 20a for the washing and drying equipment.
[0086] For example, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 The mounting bracket 21 has a second folded edge 21a at one end near the first connecting beam 11. The second folded edge 21a is fastened to the first connecting beam 11 to achieve the connection between the mounting bracket 21 and the first connecting beam 11.
[0087] For example, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 The frame 10 has a third side opposite to the first side. The first connecting beam 11 extends toward the third side of the frame 10 to form a first flange 11a, that is, the first connecting beam 11 extends toward the interior of the frame 10 to form a first flange 11a. The first flange 11a supports the bottom of the mounting bracket 21.
[0088] The specific location of the first fold 11a is not limited here. For example, the top of the first connecting beam 11 extends toward the third side of the frame 10 to form the first fold 11a.
[0089] Of course, the first folded edge 11a can also be formed by extending the bottom of the first connecting beam 11 toward the third side of the frame 10, or the first folded edge 11a can be formed at other positions of the first connecting beam 11.
[0090] The specific location of the second fold 21a is not limited here. For example, the end of the mounting bracket 21 near the first connecting beam 11 extends toward the bottom of the frame 10 to form the second fold 21a. When the compressor 30 is in the assembly state, the second fold 21a is located on the side of the first connecting beam 11 away from the third side of the frame 10 and is fastened to the first connecting beam 11. In this way, before the second fold 21a is fastened to the first connecting beam 11, the second fold 21a can also play a limiting role, which improves the convenience and reliability of assembly.
[0091] Alternatively, the end of the mounting bracket 21 near the first connecting beam 11 can extend toward the top of the frame 10 to form a second folded edge 21a.
[0092] For example, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 The mounting bracket 21 forms a third folded edge 21b on the side near the second connecting beam 12, and the third folded edge 21b is fastened to the second connecting beam 12.
[0093] In other words, by setting a third folded edge 21b on the side of the mounting bracket 21 near the second connecting beam 12, and by fastening the third folded edge 21b to the second connecting beam 12, the connection reliability between the mounting bracket 21 and the frame 10 is further improved.
[0094] The third folded edge 21b and the second connecting beam 12 can be fastened together by means of welding, riveting or threaded connection.
[0095] Of course, the mounting bracket 21 may not have the third folded edge 21b. For example, the mounting bracket 21 can be fastened to the second connecting beam 12 by welding.
[0096] The specific location of the third fold 21b is not limited here. For example, the third fold 21b can be formed by extending one end of the mounting bracket 21 near the second connecting beam 12 toward the top of the frame 10. When the compressor 30 is in the assembled state, the third fold 21b is located inside the second connecting beam 12 facing the frame 10 and is fastened to the second connecting beam 12.
[0097] Alternatively, the end of the mounting bracket 21 near the second connecting beam 12 can extend toward the bottom of the frame 10 to form a third folded edge 21b.
[0098] For example, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The frame 10 has a fourth side opposite to the second side. The second connecting beam 12 is provided with a first support 12a on the side facing the fourth side of the frame 10. The first support 12a is supported on the bottom surface of the mounting bracket 21.
[0099] The second connecting beam 12 has a first support part 12a on the fourth side facing the frame 10. That is, the first support part 12a is located on the inner side of the second connecting beam 12, which facilitates connection with the mounting assembly 20.
[0100] The specific formation of the first support portion 12a is not limited here. In some embodiments, the first support portion 12a and the second connecting beam 12 are an integral structure, for example, an integral sheet metal part. That is, a structure formed from the same metal sheet through a cold working process. For example, a structure finally obtained after processes such as punching, stamping, and bending. In this way, the structural strength and rigidity of the first support portion 12a and the second connecting beam 12 can be improved.
[0101] Furthermore, the integrated first support 12a and second connecting beam 12 can reduce the number of parts, reduce assembly time, and improve assembly efficiency.
[0102] In some embodiments, the first support portion 12a and the second connecting beam 12 are separate structures. Separate structures are easier to mold into the desired shape and structure. The connection method between the separate first support portion 12a and the second connecting beam 12 is not limited here; for example, it can be welding, riveting, threaded connection, etc.
[0103] In this embodiment, the second connecting beam 12 has a first support portion 12a on the side facing the fourth side of the frame 10. When the compressor 30 is in the assembled state, the first support portion 12a is supported on the bottom surface of the mounting bracket 21. Thus, by providing the first support portion 12a to support the bottom surface of the mounting bracket 21, the reliability of the connection structure between the mounting assembly 20 and the frame 10 can be improved.
[0104] For example, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 13 The garment processing equipment includes a mounting assembly 20, which includes a mounting bracket 21 and a connecting bracket 24 connected to the second connecting beam 12. One end of the mounting bracket 21 away from the first side of the frame 10 is connected to the connecting bracket 24.
[0105] The specific formation of the mounting component 20 is not limited here. In some embodiments, the mounting component 20 (e.g., connecting bracket 24 and mounting bracket 21) is an integral structure, such as an integral sheet metal part. That is, it is a structure formed from the same metal sheet through a cold working process. For example, it is a structure obtained after processes such as punching, stamping, and bending. In this way, the structural strength and rigidity of the mounting component 20 can be improved.
[0106] In addition, the integrated mounting component 20 can reduce the number of parts, reduce assembly time, and improve assembly efficiency.
[0107] In some embodiments, the mounting components 20 (e.g., connecting bracket 24 and mounting bracket 21) are of a split structure. Split mounting components 20 (e.g., connecting bracket 24 and mounting bracket 21) are easier to mold into the required shape and structure. The connection method of the split mounting components 20 (e.g., connecting bracket 24 and mounting bracket 21) is not limited here; for example, it can be welding, riveting, threaded connection, etc. The connection bracket 24 facilitates the connection between the mounting bracket 21 and the second connecting beam 12, which is beneficial for the rational spatial layout of the garment processing equipment.
[0108] When the compressor 30 is in the assembled state, the connecting bracket 24 is connected to the second connecting beam 12 to realize the connection between the mounting assembly 20 and the frame 10.
[0109] For example, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 13 The frame 10 has a fourth side opposite to the second side, and a second support 12b is provided on the side of the second connecting beam 12 facing the fourth side of the frame 10. The second support 12b supports the bottom of the connecting bracket 24.
[0110] A second support portion 12b is provided on the fourth side of the second connecting beam 12 facing the frame 10. That is, the second support portion 12b is provided on the inner side of the second connecting beam 12 to facilitate connection with the mounting assembly 20.
[0111] The specific formation of the second support portion 12b is not limited here. In some embodiments, the second support portion 12b and the second connecting beam 12 are an integral structure, for example, an integral sheet metal part. That is, a structure formed from the same metal sheet through a cold working process. For example, a structure finally obtained after processes such as punching, stamping, and bending. In this way, the structural strength and rigidity of the second support portion 12b and the second connecting beam 12 can be improved.
[0112] Furthermore, the integrated second support 12b and second connecting beam 12 can reduce the number of parts, reduce assembly time, and improve assembly efficiency.
[0113] In some embodiments, the second support portion 12b and the second connecting beam 12 are separate structures, which makes it easier to form the required shape and structure. The connection method between the separate second support portion 12b and the second connecting beam 12 is not limited here, and can be welding, riveting, threaded connection, etc.
[0114] In this embodiment, a second support portion 12b is provided on the fourth side of the second connecting beam 12 facing the frame 10. When the compressor 30 is in the assembled state, the second support portion 12b is supported on the bottom of the connecting bracket 24. Thus, by providing the second support portion 12b to support the bottom of the connecting bracket 24, the reliability of the connection structure between the mounting assembly 20 and the frame 10 can be improved.
[0115] The specific material of the connecting bracket 24 is not limited here; for example, it can be a one-piece sheet metal part. That is, it is a structure formed from a single metal sheet through a cold working process. This can improve the structural strength and rigidity of the connecting bracket 24.
[0116] For example, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 13 The garment processing equipment includes a cooling fan 40 for cooling the compressor 30. The cooling fan 40 is located on the side of the connecting bracket 24 away from the compressor 30. The connecting bracket 24 forms an airflow area 24a, and the airflow delivered by the cooling fan 40 can pass through the airflow area 24a and blow onto the compressor 30.
[0117] The cooling fan 40 can blow relatively low-temperature air from the external environment directly onto the compressor 30, and the low-temperature air can dissipate heat from the compressor 30 in a timely and effective manner.
[0118] It should be noted that the cooling fan 40 should be positioned as close as possible to the compressor 30 to effectively dissipate the heat generated by the compressor 30 and improve its cooling performance. For example, in one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The compressor 30 is located within the air delivery range of the cooling fan 40. For example, the cooling fan 40 is located on the side of the connecting bracket 24 away from the compressor 30. In other words, without any airflow guiding structure, the airflow delivered from the cooling fan 40 can directly blow onto the surface of the compressor 30, meaning that the airflow still has a certain velocity when it reaches the surface of the compressor 30.
[0119] To prevent the airflow from the cooling fan 40 to the compressor 30 from being blocked by the connecting bracket 24, thereby reducing heat dissipation efficiency, the connecting bracket 24 is, for example, formed with an airflow area 24a, through which the airflow delivered by the cooling fan 40 can pass and be blown towards the compressor 30. In other words, by providing an airflow area 24a on the connecting bracket 24, the airflow delivered by the cooling fan 40 can pass through the airflow area 24a and be blown towards the compressor 30, thus minimizing the obstruction of airflow by the connecting bracket 24.
[0120] For example, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 10 The mounting bracket 21 is stepped. The mounting bracket 21 includes a first sub-plate 211, a second sub-plate 212, and a connecting plate 213. The first end of the connecting plate 213 is connected to the first sub-plate 211, and the second end is connected to the second sub-plate 212. The connecting plate 213 gradually extends upwards from the second end to the first end. The first sub-plate 211 is connected to at least the first connecting beam 11 and / or the second connecting beam 12. The second sub-plate 212 is connected to at least the second connecting beam 12.
[0121] For example, the mounting sleeve 23 is disposed on the second daughterboard 212.
[0122] The mounting bracket 21 is stepped, which makes full use of the space inside the frame 10, making the structure of the garment processing equipment more compact. In addition, the stepped mounting bracket 21 can improve the structural strength.
[0123] The mounting bracket 21 includes a first sub-plate 211, a second sub-plate 212, and a connecting plate 213. That is, the mounting bracket 21 is composed of at least the first sub-plate 211, the second sub-plate 212, and the connecting plate 213. The first sub-plate 211, the second sub-plate 212, and the connecting plate 213 can be an integral structure or a separate structure.
[0124] The first end of the connecting plate 213 is connected to the first sub-plate 211, and the second end is connected to the second sub-plate 212. That is, the first sub-plate 211 and the second sub-plate 212 are respectively located at both ends of the connecting plate 213 and connected through the connecting plate 213.
[0125] Please see Figure 10 From the second end to the first end, the connecting plate 213 gradually extends upward, so that the position of the first sub-plate 211 is higher than the position of the second sub-plate 212, which is equivalent to designing the second sub-plate 212 to be sunken.
[0126] The first sub-plate 211 is connected to the first connecting beam 11 and / or the second connecting beam 12. That is, the first sub-plate 211 can be connected only to the first connecting beam 11, or only to the second connecting beam 12, or simultaneously to both the first connecting beam 11 and the second connecting beam 12.
[0127] The second sub-plate 212 is connected to at least the second connecting beam 12. That is, the second sub-plate 212 can be connected only to the second connecting beam 12, or it can be connected to other parts of the frame 10. This helps to improve the reliability of the connection between the mounting bracket 21 and the frame 10.
[0128] In practical use, since the washing and drying devices, which are fixed at the top and bottom, are both circular in shape, there is empty space on both sides. To reduce the overall height of the garment processing equipment, in this embodiment, the second sub-plate 212 is recessed, and the mounting sleeve 23 is placed on the second sub-plate 212. This lowers the installation position of the compressor 30. This not only satisfies assembly requirements but also makes full use of the space within the frame 10, reducing the installation height of the compressor 30. Therefore, the overall height of the garment processing equipment is reduced, which to some extent improves ease of use and operation, as well as the overall aesthetics.
[0129] It should be noted that the specific method of forming the accommodating space 20a is not limited here. For example, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 2 to 9 ,as well as Figure 11 The garment processing equipment includes an installation component 20, which includes an installation bracket 21 and an installation cover 25 covering the compressor 30. The installation cover 25 has a second installation groove 25a, which is arranged opposite to the first installation groove 23a and surrounds to form a receiving space 20a. The compressor 30 is disposed in the receiving space 20a.
[0130] The specific material of the mounting cover 25 is not limited here; it can be a sheet metal part or an injection molded part. When the mounting cover 25 is made of sheet metal, it can be formed from a single piece of metal using a cold-working process. This improves the structural strength and rigidity of the mounting cover 25.
[0131] The second mounting slot 25a connects with the first mounting slot 23a and forms a receiving space 20a. In other words, the compressor 30 can be located partly in the first mounting slot 23a and partly in the second mounting slot 25a.
[0132] The specific connection position of the mounting cover 25 is not limited here. For example, in some embodiments, the mounting cover 25 may be connected to the frame 10, such as to the second connecting beam 12 of the frame 10 (see [link]). Figure 9In other embodiments, the mounting cover 25 may also be connected to the mounting bracket 21. Of course, the mounting cover 25 may also be connected to both the frame 10 and the mounting bracket 21.
[0133] By providing a mounting cover 25, which covers the compressor 30, and having a second mounting groove 25a that mates with the first mounting groove 23a to form a receiving space 20a, the compressor 30 can be easily assembled into the receiving space 20a. This also helps to limit the compressor 30's height, further improving the stability of the compressor 30's installation.
[0134] For example, please refer to Figure 10 At least a portion of the edges of the mounting bracket 21 are provided with a first reinforcing fold 21c.
[0135] The fact that at least a portion of the edges of the mounting bracket 21 are provided with a first reinforcing fold 21c means that either a portion of the edges of the mounting bracket 21 are provided with a first reinforcing fold 21c, or all the edges of the mounting bracket 21 are provided with a first reinforcing fold 21c.
[0136] By providing a first reinforcing fold 21c at the edge of the mounting bracket 21, the structural strength of the mounting bracket 21 can be further enhanced. In addition, it can also prevent the edge of the mounting bracket 21 from forming sharp burrs, thus avoiding scratching the operator during assembly.
[0137] For example, please continue reading Figure 10 The mounting bracket 21 is equipped with reinforcing ribs 21d.
[0138] The reinforcing rib 21d can improve the structural strength of the mounting bracket 21, thereby improving the reliability of the mounting assembly 20.
[0139] It should be noted that the specific structural form of the reinforcing rib 21d is not limited here. For example, it can be a groove formed by stamping on the mounting bracket 21, or it can be a protruding rib formed on the mounting bracket 21.
[0140] The specific location of the reinforcing rib 21d on the mounting bracket 21 is not limited. For example, the reinforcing rib 21d can be provided on the first sub-plate 211, the second sub-plate 212 and the connecting plate 213. Alternatively, the reinforcing rib 21d can be provided on one or two of the first sub-plate 211, the second sub-plate 212 and the connecting plate 213.
[0141] The specific connection method between the mounting bracket 21 and the mounting sleeve 23 is not limited here. For example, in some embodiments, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 , Figure 10 as well as Figure 12The mounting bracket 21 is provided with a first clearance opening 21e, and the mounting sleeve 23 is provided with a skirt 23c at the opening 23b, which overlaps the edge of the first clearance opening 21e. Thus, by providing the first clearance opening 21e on the mounting bracket 21 to allow the mounting sleeve 23 to pass through, the skirt 23c of the mounting sleeve 23 overlaps the edge of the first clearance opening 21e. This not only secures the mounting sleeve 23 but also allows the first mounting groove 23a to be located below the mounting bracket 21, thereby lowering the installation position of the compressor 30 and reducing its overall height. This, in turn, lowers the overall height of the garment processing equipment, improving ease of use and aesthetics to some extent.
[0142] The specific fixing method between the skirt 23c of the mounting sleeve 23 and the mounting bracket 21 is not limited here. For example, they can be connected by riveting, welding, snap-fitting or thread fixing.
[0143] In other embodiments, the mounting sleeve 23 may be directly disposed on the bottom surface of the mounting bracket 21, that is, instead of being attached to the edge of the first clearance opening 21e by setting a skirt 23c. Alternatively, part of the mounting sleeve 23 may be located above the mounting bracket 21, and the other part may be located below the mounting bracket 21.
[0144] In some other embodiments, the bottom of the mounting sleeve 23 may be directly mounted on the top surface of the mounting bracket 21.
[0145] For example, the edge of the first clearance opening 21e is provided with an overlapping edge or a second reinforcing fold edge 21n.
[0146] In some embodiments, the edge of the first clearance opening 21e is provided with a folded edge, which fits against the surface of the mounting bracket 21. This can improve the strength of the mounting bracket 21 at the first clearance opening 21e. In addition, it can also prevent the edge of the first clearance opening 21e from forming sharp burrs, thereby preventing the mounting sleeve 23 from being scratched by the burrs at the edge of the first clearance opening 21e.
[0147] For other implementation methods, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 10 The edge of the first clearance opening 21e is provided with a second reinforcing fold 21n. The second reinforcing fold 21n can improve the strength of the mounting bracket 21 at the first clearance opening 21e. In addition, it can also increase the contact area between the mounting bracket 21 and the mounting sleeve 23, thereby improving the reliability of the connection structure between the mounting bracket 21 and the mounting sleeve 23.
[0148] For example, please refer to Figure 3The garment processing equipment includes a vibration damping assembly 60, at least a portion of which is disposed between the compressor 30 and the mounting assembly 20, and / or, at least a portion of which is disposed between the mounting assemblies 20, for damping the compressor 30.
[0149] By incorporating a vibration damping component 60, the compressor 30 is subjected to vibration damping. This, to a certain extent, improves the transmission of vibrations generated by the compressor 30 during operation to the frame 10.
[0150] For example, the garment processing equipment includes a base disposed on a frame, the base having a second clearance opening, a compressor 30 passing through the second clearance opening and connected to the frame 10 via a mounting bracket 21.
[0151] The specific structure of the second clearance opening is not limited. In some embodiments, the second clearance opening is a notch formed on one side of the base.
[0152] In other embodiments, the second clearance opening may also be a through hole extending along the top and bottom direction.
[0153] The compressor 30 passes through the second clearance opening and is connected to the frame 10 by a mounting bracket 21. That is, in this embodiment of the garment processing equipment, the weight of the compressor 30 is not supported by a base, but by the frame 10.
