[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

For example, different embodiments and technical solutions may be formed by combining different specific technical features. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in the present invention will not be described separately.
[0047] In the following description, the terms "first, second, ..." are used solely to distinguish different objects and do not imply any similarities or connections between the objects. It should be understood that the directions "above," "below," "outside," and "inside" refer to directions during normal use. The directions "left" and "right" refer to the left-right directions shown in the corresponding schematic diagrams, which may or may not be the left-right directions during normal use.
[0048] It should be noted that the terms "comprises," "includes," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus comprising that element. "A plurality" means greater than or equal to two.
[0049] The present application embodiment provides a clothes processing device 100, see Figures 1 to 12 The clothing processing device 100 includes a housing, a barrel assembly 2 , a first rod 4 , a connecting head 322 and a vibration damping assembly 3 .
[0050] It is understandable that the specific form of the clothing processing device 100 is not limited, and it can be an existing pulsator washing machine, drum washing machine and other equipment, and is not limited here; preferably, the vibration reduction component 3 described in the embodiment of the present application is more effective when used on a pulsator washing machine.
[0051] The outer shell is an exterior component of the clothes treating apparatus 100 . Exemplarily, the outer shell may include a housing 1 and a workbench 7 .
[0052] The barrel assembly 2 is disposed in the outer shell.
[0053] It is understood that the tub assembly 2 may include an inner tub and an outer tub, with the inner tub disposed within the outer tub, and the space within the inner tub defining a laundry processing chamber. The inner tub may be a perforated inner tub or a non-perforated inner tub. When the inner tub is a perforated inner tub, the outer tub is used to hold water; when the inner tub is non-perforated, the inner tub itself holds water. In other words, the inner tub can hold both water and laundry, and during the washing process, water in the inner tub does not enter the outer tub. In some embodiments, the tub assembly 2 may consist of only an inner tub, without an outer tub; in this case, the inner tub is a non-perforated inner tub.
[0054] The shell can provide accommodation space and protection for the barrel assembly 2, isolate the barrel assembly 2 from the outside world, and reduce the chance of external dust and other impurities coming into contact with the barrel assembly 2. When the clothing processing device 100 is impacted, the shell can also effectively withstand external impacts and reduce the chance of the barrel assembly 2 being damaged.
[0055] It can be understood that when the barrel assembly 2 includes an inner barrel and an outer barrel, one end of the vibration-damping assembly 3 can be connected to the outer barrel, and when the clothing processing device 100 includes a suspension rod 6, one end of the suspension rod 6 is connected to the outer barrel, and the other end is connected to the box body 1 to bear the weight of the barrel assembly 2; when the barrel assembly 2 has only an inner barrel, the barrel assembly 2 can include a water receiving tray, and the water receiving tray is arranged outside the inner barrel, and one end of the vibration-damping assembly 3 can be connected to the water receiving tray. When the clothing processing device 100 includes a suspension rod 6, one end of the suspension rod 6 is connected to the water receiving tray, and the other end is connected to the box body 1 to bear the weight of the barrel assembly 2.
[0056] In this embodiment, the barrel assembly 2 including an inner barrel and an outer barrel is taken as an example for description.
[0057] It is understandable that when the clothing processing device is in washing or dehydration mode, the inner barrel rotates, and the clothes in the inner barrel will shift during the rotation of the inner barrel, causing the center of gravity of the inner barrel to shift, thereby causing the inner barrel to rotate eccentrically, resulting in vibration and deflection of the outer barrel. When the eccentricity of the inner barrel rotation increases, the amplitude of the outer barrel will also increase accordingly, making it easy for the barrel assembly to hit the box body, affecting the dehydration process.
[0058] The vibration damping component 3 is a structure with a vibration damping effect. The vibration damping component 3 provided in this embodiment is used to absorb the vibration energy of the barrel component 2 when the clothing processing device 100 is in the washing or dehydration condition, thereby reducing the vibration displacement of the barrel component 2 and reducing the probability of the barrel component 2 colliding with the box body 1.
[0059] See also Figure 1 The connecting head 322 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first rod body 4 .
[0060] See also Figure 6 One end of the vibration damping assembly 3 has a seat sleeve 323, the seat sleeve 323 has a receiving space 323a, part or all of the connecting head 322 is accommodated in the receiving space 323a, and the surfaces of the contact parts of the connecting head 322 and the receiving space 323a are formed as spherical surfaces so that the seat sleeve 323 can swing universally relative to the connecting head 322.
[0061] It should be noted that the shape of the connector 322 is not limited, and can be a spherical ball head structure as a whole, or a combination of a spherical structure and other structures. For example, see Figure 6 , the connecting head 322 is a ball head structure.
[0062] The seat body can swing universally around the connector 322 , which means that the seat sleeve 323 can freely rotate around the connector 322 in random directions in three-dimensional space.
[0063] The first rod 4 is connected to the circumferential outer side of the barrel assembly 2 , or one end of the vibration damping assembly 3 away from the seat sleeve 323 is connected to the barrel assembly 2 .
[0064] It can be understood that at least one end of the vibration damping assembly 3 is connected to the barrel assembly 2 so as to receive vibration energy from the barrel assembly 2 and cushion the vibration of the barrel assembly 2.
[0065] When the first rod 4 is connected to the circumferential outer side of the barrel assembly 2, when the clothes processing device 100 is in the washing or dehydration mode, the barrel assembly 2 drives the first rod 4 to vibrate synchronously, and the vibration energy of the barrel assembly 2 can be transmitted to the connecting head 322 through the first rod 4, and then transmitted to the seat cover 323. Under the action of vibration, the seat cover 323 can swing universally around the connecting head 322 to adapt to the changes in different vibration directions of the barrel assembly 2. In addition, the vibration of the barrel assembly 2 can also force the vibration reduction assembly 3 to absorb the vibration energy and reduce the vibration amplitude of the barrel assembly 2. In this case, the end of the vibration reduction assembly 3 away from the seat cover 323 can be connected to a component outside the barrel assembly 2, such as the suspension rod 6, the box 1 or the workbench 7, which is not limited here.
[0066] When the end of the vibration-damping assembly 3 away from the seat cover 323 is connected to the barrel assembly 2, when the clothes processing device 100 is in the washing or dehydration mode, the vibration energy of the barrel assembly 2 can be transmitted to the end of the vibration-damping assembly 3 away from the seat cover 323, and then transmitted to the seat cover 323 and the connecting head 322. Under the action of vibration, the seat cover 323 can swing universally around the connecting head 322 to adapt to the changes in the different vibration directions of the barrel assembly 2. In addition, the vibration of the barrel assembly 2 can also force the vibration-damping assembly 3 to absorb the vibration energy and reduce the vibration amplitude of the barrel assembly 2. In this case, the first rod 4 can be connected to the workbench 7 or the box 1, or can be used as part of the suspension rod 6, which is not limited here.
[0067] Taking a pulsator-type clothing processing device as an example, when the external dimensions of the cabinet remain unchanged, as the washing volume increases, the gap between the barrel assembly and the cabinet becomes smaller and smaller. During the washing or dehydration process, the barrel assembly will vibrate and deflect, and easily hit the cabinet, affecting the safety of the clothing processing device.
[0068] To reduce the vibration amplitude of the tub assembly, clothing processing equipment is equipped with a vibration damper. One end of the damper is connected to the tub assembly and the other end is connected to a suspension rod. When the tub assembly vibrates, the damper moves with it to dissipate vibration energy. However, the damper has limited freedom of movement. For example, it can only slide or rotate circumferentially relative to the suspension rod. This increases the probability of it getting stuck when moving with the tub assembly's vibration, thus affecting the vibration damping effect.
[0069] The clothing processing device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is such that when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the vibration-damping assembly 3 adapts to the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2 in different vibration directions through the universal swing of the seat cover 323 around the connecting head 322. The universal swing mode enables the vibration-damping assembly 3 to have at least two rotational degrees of freedom, and when moving with the barrel assembly 2, the vibration-damping assembly 3 can swing in any direction around the connecting head 322, with high movement smoothness and low probability of movement stagnation of the vibration-damping assembly 3, which facilitates the absorption of the vibration energy of the barrel assembly 2 and reduces the probability of the barrel assembly 2 colliding with the housing 1. The vibration-damping assembly 3 has high working reliability.
[0070] It is understandable that relative movement may or may not occur between the connecting head 322 and the first rod body 4 .
[0071] For example, in some embodiments, see Figure 1 , the connecting head 322 can slide along the extension direction of the first rod body 4.
[0072] In other words, the seat cover 323 can also slide along the extending direction of the first rod 4 driven by the connecting head 322 .
[0073] Specifically, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the first rod body 4 transmits the vibration energy to the connecting head 322. Under the action of vibration, the connecting head 322 slides up and down along the first rod body 4, thereby driving the seat cover 323 to slide up and down along the first rod body 4. At the same time, the seat cover 323 can also swing universally around the connecting head 322 to adapt to the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2 in different vibration directions. In this embodiment, the seat cover 323 has both the freedom of universal swing around the connecting head 322 and the freedom of sliding. The range of motion of the seat cover 323 is larger, which can further reduce the probability of the seat cover 323 getting stuck, increase the movement reliability of the vibration damping assembly 3, facilitate buffering the vibration of the barrel assembly 2, and reduce the probability of the barrel assembly 2 hitting the box body 1.
[0074] In some embodiments, the connector 322 and the first rod 4 are circumferentially locked.
[0075] That is to say, the connecting head 322 will not rotate around the circumference of the first rod 4 .
[0076] It can be understood that the seat sleeve 323 swings universally around the connecting head 322, and the seat sleeve 323 has sufficient rotational freedom to prevent movement jamming without the need for circumferential rotation around the first rod body 4. In this embodiment, the connecting head 322 and the first rod body 4 are matched along the circumferential rotation stop, which facilitates increasing the movement stability of the seat sleeve 323, thereby increasing the vibration reduction reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.
[0077] In the embodiment in which the connecting head 322 slides along the extension direction of the first rod body 4, the connecting head 322 and the first rod body 4 are circumferentially locked, and the seat sleeve 323 increases the sliding freedom, that is, increases the range of motion of the seat sleeve 323 along the extension direction of the first rod body 4. The seat sleeve 323 has both universal swinging freedom and sliding freedom, further reducing the probability of movement jamming at one end of the vibration damping assembly 3 connected to the first rod body 4.
[0078] There is no limitation on the manner of achieving the circumferential anti-rotation cooperation between the connector 322 and the first rod 4 .
[0079] For some examples, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The connecting head 322 has a first through hole 322a and a slide groove 322b. The first through hole 322a is connected to the slide groove 322b. The first rod body 4 includes a rod body and a convex rib protruding from the rod body. The rod body is passed through the first through hole 322a, and the convex rib is slidably passed through the slide groove 322b to prevent the connecting head 322 from rotating with the first rod body 4.
[0080] In this embodiment, the rib can slide along the slide groove 322b and limit the circumferential rotation of the connecting head 322 around the first rod body 4. Thus, through the cooperation between the rib and the slide groove 322b, the rotational freedom of the connecting head 322 is constrained without affecting the sliding of the connecting head 322 along the extension direction of the first rod body 4.
[0081] The seat cover 323 and the connector 322 may be matched in any manner.
[0082] In some embodiments, the seat cover 323 includes two split seat shells, which are connected along a first direction to enclose a receiving space 323 a , wherein the first direction intersects with the extension direction of the first rod 4 .
[0083] In this embodiment, the seat cover 323 is a split structure. Thus, when the seat cover 323 and the connector 322 need to be disconnected, the connection between the two seat shells can be disconnected.
[0084] The first direction intersects with the extending direction of the first rod 4 , and the first direction and the extending direction of the first rod 4 may form an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle, which is not limited here.
[0085] Of course, the seat cover 323 may also be an integrally formed structure, which is not limited here.
[0086] In some embodiments, one end of the vibration damping assembly 3 away from the seat cover 323 is connected to the barrel assembly 2 , and the setting position of the first rod body 4 is not limited.
[0087] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 4 The outer shell includes a box body 1, and the clothing processing device 100 includes a plurality of suspension rods 6, one end of each suspension rod 6 is connected to the barrel assembly 2, and the other end is connected to the box body 1, and the barrel assembly 2 is suspended on the box body 1 through the plurality of suspension rods 6.
[0088] Specifically, the top end of the hanger 6 is fixed to the box body 1, and the bottom end of the hanger 6 is fixed to the barrel assembly 2. The number of the hangers 6 can be four, and the top ends of the four hangers 6 correspond to the four corners of the top end of the box body 1, and the bottom ends of the four hangers 6 are fixed to the side walls of the barrel assembly 2 corresponding to the four corners of the box body 1. In this way, each hanger 6 can evenly share the weight of the barrel assembly 2, thereby increasing the installation stability of the clothing processing device 100.
[0089] See also Figure 1 , the first rod body 4 is a part of the boom 6 .
[0090] In this embodiment, the end of the vibration damping assembly 3 away from the seat cover 323 is connected to the barrel assembly 2, and the seat cover 323 is connected to the suspension rod 6 through the connector 322. There is sufficient installation space between the barrel assembly 2 and the suspension rod 6 to arrange the vibration damping assembly 3. The suspension rod 6 has sufficient structural strength to provide sufficient movement support for the vibration damping assembly 3. The end of the vibration damping assembly 3 connected to the suspension rod 6 will not fall off from the suspension rod 6, thereby increasing the installation stability of the vibration damping assembly 3. In addition, the vibration damping assembly 3 is not directly connected to the box body 1. The vibration energy of the barrel assembly 2 is transmitted to the box body 1 via the vibration damping assembly 3 and the suspension rod 6, which can reduce the vibration energy received by the box body 1 and increase the operating stability of the clothing processing device 100.
[0091] In this embodiment, the connector 322 is mounted on the suspension rod 6. When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the seat sleeve 323 swings universally around the connector 322 under the action of the vibration, thereby adapting to the different vibration positions of the barrel assembly 2. In the embodiment where the connector 322 can slide up and down along the first rod 4, that is, the connector 322 can slide up and down along the suspension rod 6, the seat sleeve 323 has a larger range of motion, thereby reducing the possibility of movement stagnation at the end of the vibration damping assembly 3 connected to the suspension rod 6.
[0092] Of course, in other embodiments, the first rod 4 may also be connected to the suspension rod 6. The suspension rod 6 can provide support for the first rod 4, thereby providing sufficient support for the vibration reduction assembly 3.
[0093] It is understood that a vibration damping structure may also be provided on the suspension rod 6 to cushion the vibration of the barrel assembly 2. For example, see Figure 1 The clothing processing device 100 includes a damping cylinder 63, a base 64 provided at the bottom end of the suspension rod 6, and a shock-absorbing spring 62. The shock-absorbing spring 62 is passed through the suspension rod 6 and is sandwiched between the damping cylinder 63 and the base 64. A connecting slot 2a is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the bottom end of the barrel assembly 2, and the connecting slot 2a is sleeved on the damping cylinder 63. Specifically, the damping cylinder 63 is sleeved on the suspension rod 6, and the shock-absorbing spring 62 is a compression spring. One end of the shock-absorbing spring 62 abuts against the bottom end of the damping cylinder 63, and the other end abuts against the base 64. In this way, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates during the washing or dehydration process, the shock-absorbing spring 62 slides up and down along the suspension rod 6 to absorb the longitudinal vibration energy of the barrel assembly 2, thereby reducing the vibration noise of the housing 1 and increasing the operational stability of the clothing processing device 100.
[0094] The number of vibration reduction components 3 is not limited. For example, see Figure 2 There are four vibration-damping assemblies 3, one end of the four vibration-damping assemblies 3 is connected to the barrel assembly 2, and the other end is connected to the suspension rod 6, so that the vibration-damping assemblies 3 can evenly and fully buffer the vibration of the barrel assembly 2 from different directions, increase the vibration-damping effect, and improve the operating safety of the clothing processing equipment 100.
[0095] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 The outer shell includes a box body 1 and a workbench 7. The workbench 7 is arranged at the top of the box body 1. One end of the first rod body 4 is connected to the workbench 7, and the other end extends downward from the workbench 7 to form a suspended free end, or, after extending downward, is connected to the lower part or bottom plate of the box body 1.
[0096] It can be understood that the workbench 7 is located on the top side of the box body 1, and the workbench 7 has a clothing loading port connected to the clothing processing chamber, that is, the clothes to be washed can be put into the clothing processing chamber from the top side through the clothing loading port, and the washed clothes can also be taken out from the clothing processing chamber through the clothing loading port.
[0097] In this embodiment, one end of the vibration damping assembly 3 is connected to the workbench 7 through the first rod 4, and the other end is connected to the barrel assembly 2. The barrel assembly 2 and the workbench 7 jointly provide installation support for the vibration damping assembly 3 to increase the installation stability and movement stability of the vibration damping assembly 3; and the vibration damping assembly 3 is not directly connected to the box body 1. The vibration energy of the barrel assembly 2 is transmitted to the box body 1 through the vibration damping assembly 3 and the workbench 7. The workbench 7 can share part of the vibration energy for the box body 1, reduce the vibration noise of the box body 1, and increase the operation stability of the clothing processing device 100.
[0098] In addition, the first rod 4 extends downward from the workbench 7 , and the axis of the first rod 4 is along the height direction. In an embodiment where the connector 322 can slide along the extension direction of the first rod 4 , the sliding resistance of the connector 322 is reduced.
[0099] In some other embodiments, please refer to Figures 10 to 12 The housing includes a box body 1 and a mounting seat 11 . The mounting seat 11 is arranged on the box body 1 , and at least one end of the first rod body 4 is arranged on the mounting seat 11 .
[0100] In this embodiment, one end of the vibration damping assembly 3 is connected to the box body 1, and the other end is connected to the barrel assembly 2. The barrel assembly 2 and the box body 1 jointly provide support for the vibration damping assembly 3. In this way, the vibration damping assembly 3 has sufficient installation space and movement space to facilitate buffering the vibration of the barrel assembly 2.
[0101] The specific structure of the vibration damping assembly 3 is not limited.
[0102] For some examples, see Figure 5 The vibration reduction assembly 3 includes a first moving part 31, a second moving part 32 and a friction part 33. The first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 are connected and can rotate relative to each other around the connection between the two. The friction part 33 is arranged at the rotation connection between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32, and is used to provide friction force to achieve vibration reduction when the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 rotate relative to each other. The seat cover 323 serves as a part of the first moving part 31 or the second moving part 32.
[0103] It should be noted that the friction member 33 refers to a structure whose material itself has friction damping properties.
[0104] It should be noted that the seat cover 323 can be either a part of the first moving part 31 or a part of the second moving part 32, that is, the first moving part 31 can swing universally around the connecting head 322 through the seat cover 323, or the second moving part 32 can swing universally around the connecting head 322 through the seat cover 322, and there is no restriction here.
[0105] It should be noted that the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 can rotate relative to each other around the connection between the two, which means that at least one of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 can rotate around the connection between the two, thereby causing the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 to rotate relative to each other.
[0106] Specifically, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 rotate relative to each other, rubbing against the friction part 33 to generate friction damping. The friction damping can serve as the damping force of the vibration reduction component 3 to reduce the vibration of the barrel assembly 2, thereby achieving vibration buffering of the barrel assembly 2.
[0107] In this embodiment, friction is generated by causing the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 to rotate relative to each other and rub against the friction part 33, thereby limiting the vibration amplitude of the barrel assembly 2 and reducing the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2. The friction part 33 is arranged between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32, that is, the friction part 33 does not directly contact the first rod body 4 or the external parts of the barrel assembly 2 (such as the suspension rod 6), and the wear generated by the friction part 33 can be smaller. At the same time, when the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 rotate relative to each other, the friction part 33 can also isolate the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32, reducing the wear generated by direct friction when the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 rotate, and the service life of the vibration damping assembly 3 can also be longer.
[0108] The material of the friction member 33 is not limited. For example, the friction member 33 can be made of a highly wear-resistant polyurethane foam material or a highly wear-resistant soft rubber material, with a high surface friction coefficient and the ability to deform to cooperate with the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32. Of course, the friction member 33 can also be made of a semi-metallic friction material, etc., and this is not limited here.
[0109] For some examples, see Figure 1 and Figure 8 , the relative rotation axis L2 of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 is substantially parallel to the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2. That is, the relative rotation axis L2 of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 is substantially parallel to the height direction.
[0110] The term "substantially parallel" means that the angle between the relative rotation axis L2 of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 and the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2 can be 0° or close to 0°, that is, a certain degree of processing and assembly error is allowed. For example, the angle between the relative rotation axis L2 of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 and the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2 is 0° to 5°, for example, 0°, 0.3°, 0.5°, 0.7°, 0.9°, 1°, 1.2°, 1.4°, 1.6°, 1.8°, 2°, 3°, 4°, 5°, etc.
[0111] It is understandable that during washing or dehydration, the tub assembly will vibrate both horizontally and vertically, with the horizontal vibration being predominant. The tub assembly's vertical vibration displacement is small and less likely to collide with the tub, while the horizontal vibration displacement is large and easily exceeds the horizontal gap between the housing and the tub assembly, causing collision with the housing. Therefore, it is necessary to effectively suppress the horizontal vibration of the tub assembly. The rotational axes of the first and second moving members of the vibration damping member provided in the related art are generally parallel to the horizontal direction, meaning that the first and second moving members primarily swing along the vertical plane. The damping force on vibration is primarily decomposed into a force along the vertical direction, with a small force component along the horizontal direction. Consequently, the horizontal vibration of the tub assembly cannot be effectively absorbed, resulting in a limited vibration damping effect.
[0112] It can be understood that the horizontal direction refers to the direction parallel to the horizontal plane after the clothes processing apparatus 100 is placed on the horizontal ground, for example, the left-right direction, the front-back direction and other horizontal directions intersecting the left-right direction and the front-back direction.
[0113] In this embodiment, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 of the vibration damping assembly 3 can rotate relative to each other around the connection between the two. Since the relative rotation axis L2 of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 is basically parallel to the height direction, that is, the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 rotate relative to each other roughly in the horizontal direction, the friction force generated by the friction part 33 is roughly in the horizontal direction, which can basically be used to reduce the horizontal vibration of the barrel assembly 2, effectively suppress the horizontal vibration of the barrel assembly 2, reduce the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2, and reduce the probability of the barrel assembly 2 colliding with the box body 1.
[0114] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 4 The clothing processing device 100 includes a second rod body 5, which is fixed to the circumferential outer side of the barrel assembly 2. The end of the first moving part 31 away from the second moving part 32 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second rod body 5, and can drive the entire first moving part 31 to rotate around the circumference of the second rod body 5. The seat cover 323 serves as a part of the second moving part 32.
[0115] In this embodiment, the first moving part 31 is connected to the barrel assembly 2 through the second rod body 5, and the second moving part 32 can be connected to the suspension rod 6, or connected to the workbench 7 through the first rod body 4, or connected to the box body 1 through the first rod body 4.
[0116] In this way, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the vibration energy of the barrel assembly 2 can be transmitted to the first moving part 31 through the second rod body 5, driving the first moving part 31 to rotate circumferentially around the second rod body 5, thereby rotating relative to the second moving part 32, generating friction damping to suppress the vibration of the barrel assembly 2. On the other hand, the first moving part 31 has rotational freedom, and the seat cover 323 of the second moving part 32 swings universally around the connecting head 322, which can reduce the probability of the vibration damping assembly 3 getting stuck and increase the working reliability of the vibration damping assembly 3.
[0117] In some embodiments, the first moving member 31 is a rigid component as a whole and has only one degree of freedom of movement.
[0118] It should be noted that a rigid component is a single element of a mechanism, a rigid body that experiences considerable motion with respect to an adjacent component. In mechanics, rigid components are the basic units that comprise a mechanism and have defined relative motion relationships with each other. Degrees of freedom refer to the number of independent coordinates required to describe a mechanical system. One degree of freedom means that the first moving member 31 can move in only one direction; motion in other directions is constrained.
[0119] Specifically, the first moving part 31 has only one rotational degree of freedom, namely the circumferential rotational degree around the second rod body 5. While enabling the entire vibration damping assembly 3 to adapt to changes in the position of the barrel assembly 2 under the action of vibration, it also enables the entire vibration damping assembly 3 to have sufficient installation stability.
[0120] The first moving member 31 may be an integral component with a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.
[0121] There is no limitation on the manner of implementing the first moving member 31 having only one degree of freedom of movement.
[0122] In some embodiments, the barrel assembly 2 includes at least two mounting blocks 21 protruding from the circumferential outer wall of the barrel assembly 2, the two mounting blocks 21 are spaced apart in the height direction, both ends of the second rod body 5 are fixed to the mounting blocks 21, and the first moving part 31 is sleeved on the position of the second rod body 5 located between the two mounting blocks 21, and respectively abuts against the two mounting blocks 21.
[0123] In this way, on the one hand, the stability of the second rod body 5 fixed to the barrel assembly 2 can be increased, the probability of the second rod body 5 falling off the barrel assembly 2 can be reduced, and the probability of the first moving part 31 falling off the second rod body 5 can also be reduced. On the other hand, the two mounting blocks 21 constrain the sliding freedom of the first moving part 31 along the extension direction of the second rod body 5, so that the first moving part 31 only has the freedom of movement of circumferential rotation around the second rod body 5.
[0124] The specific structures of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 are not limited.
[0125] For some examples, see Figures 5 to 8 The first moving part 31 includes a first connecting seat 311, the second moving part 32 includes a second connecting seat 321, the first connecting seat 311 includes a first annular portion 3111, the second connecting seat 321 includes a second annular portion 3211, the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211 are nested and have an annular space in the radial direction, and the friction part 33 is arranged in the annular space.
[0126] It should be noted that the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211 are annular structures that are connected end to end and have no gaps in the circumferential direction. The nested arrangement of the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211 means that the first annular portion 3111 is embedded in the second annular portion 3211, or the second annular portion 3211 is embedded in the first annular portion 3111; the annular space is the space between the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211. The friction member 33 is disposed in the annular space, that is, the friction member 33 is disposed between the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211. When the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 rotate relative to each other, the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211 rotate relative to each other, thereby rubbing against the friction member 33 to generate friction force.
[0127] In this embodiment, the first moving part 31, the second moving part 32 and the friction part 33 are connected together by the nesting cooperation of the first annular part 3111 and the second annular part 3211. The overall structure of the vibration damping assembly 3 is simple and easy to install, and the probability of damage to the friction part 33 during the assembly process can also be reduced.
[0128] For some examples, see Figures 6 to 8 The first connecting seat 311 includes a first end plate 3112 connected to the first annular portion 3111, and the second connecting seat 321 includes a second end plate 3212 connected to the second annular portion 3211. The first end plate 3112 and the second end plate 3212 are arranged in parallel, and the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211 are located between the first end plate 3112 and the second end plate 3212.
[0129] It should be noted that the parallel arrangement of the first end plate 3112 and the second end plate 3212 refers to the positional relationship between the first end plate 3112 and the second end plate 3212 after the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 are connected.
[0130] In this embodiment, the first end plate 3112 and the second end plate 3212 can provide support for the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211. The first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211 are confined between the first end plate 3112 and the second end plate 3212, thereby increasing the docking stability of the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211 and reducing the chance of loosening of the docking of the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211. Furthermore, the probability of the friction member 33 escaping from the annular space is reduced, and the friction member 33 is isolated from other components outside the vibration damping assembly 3, thereby improving the installation stability of the vibration damping assembly 3. Furthermore, the first end plate 3112 and the second end plate 3212 are arranged in parallel, further increasing the smoothness of the relative rotation of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32.
[0131] For some examples, see Figure 8 The second annular portion 3211 surrounds the outer circumference of the first annular portion 3111, the second end plate 3212 is provided with a second through hole 3212a, and the first connecting seat 311 also includes one or more elastic hooks 3113 passing through the internal space of the first annular portion 3111, one end of the elastic hook 3113 is connected to the first end plate 3112, and the other end passes through the second through hole 3212a and is connected to the surface of the second end plate 3212 away from the first end plate 3112.
[0132] The elastic hook 3113 refers to a structure that has elasticity and can be deformed.
[0133] Specifically, when the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 are docked, the friction part 33 is first set on the outer periphery of the first annular part 3111, and then the second through hole 3212a of the second annular part 3211 is passed through the elastic hook 3113 from top to bottom. During the insertion process, the elastic hook 3113 undergoes elastic deformation. When the second annular part 3211 completely surrounds the outer periphery of the first annular part 3111, the elastic hook 3113 extends out of the second through hole 3212a, restores the deformation, and abuts against the side of the second end plate 3212 away from the first end plate 3112, thereby connecting the first connecting seat 311 and the second connecting seat 321 together, reducing the probability of the second connecting seat 321 falling off the first connecting seat 311, and increasing the installation stability of the vibration damping assembly 3.
[0134] The number of the elastic hooks 3113 is not limited and can be one, two or more than three. For example, see Figure 8 , the number of the elastic hooks 3113 is three.
[0135] Of course, in other embodiments, the first annular portion 3111 surrounds the outer circumference of the second annular portion 3211, the first end plate 3112 is provided with a second through hole, and the second connecting seat 321 includes one or more elastic hooks passing through the internal space of the second annular portion 3211, one end of the elastic hook is connected to the second end plate 3212, and the other end passes through the second through hole and is connected to the surface of the first end plate 3112 on the side away from the second end plate 3212.
[0136] For some examples, see Figures 5 to 8 The first connecting seat 311 also includes a limiting structure 3114, which is arranged on the first end plate 3112 and is located on the circumferential outside of the first annular portion 3111. The limiting structure 3114 is used to cooperate with the second moving part 32 along the circumferential stop to limit the maximum rotation angle of the second moving part 32 when it rotates relative to the first moving part 31.
[0137] It should be noted that, in the initial state, the angle between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 is the first angle. The initial state is the position of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 when the barrel assembly 2 is in a stationary state. When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the second moving part 32 rotates relative to the first moving part 31. When the second moving part 32 abuts against the limiting structure 3114, the angle between the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 is the second angle. The maximum rotation angle of the second moving part 32 relative to the first moving part 31 is the difference between the second angle and the first angle.
[0138] It can be understood that the first end of the first moving member 31 is connected to the first end of the second moving member 32, and the angle between the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 is the angle between the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the first moving member 31 and the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the second moving member 32.
[0139] The second end of the first moving member 31 is the end of the first moving member 31 away from the second moving member 32, and the second end of the second moving member 32 is the end of the second moving member 32 away from the first moving member 31. For example, the second end of the first moving member 31 is connected to the barrel assembly 2, and the second end of the second moving member 32 is connected to the boom 6.
[0140] It can be understood that when the barrel assembly vibrates and deflects, the first moving part and the second moving part rotate relative to each other under the action of vibration. When the rotation position of the second moving part relative to the first moving part exceeds the critical position, the resistance of the first moving part and the second moving part to return to the initial state is greatly increased, so that they cannot move adaptively according to the change of the vibration position of the barrel assembly, resulting in the inability to effectively suppress the vibration of the barrel assembly and reducing the vibration reduction reliability of the vibration reduction assembly.
[0141] In this embodiment, when the second moving part 32 rotates to the maximum rotation angle relative to the first moving part 31, the second moving part 32 cooperates with the limit structure 3114 to stop it, and the limit structure 3114 prevents the second moving part 32 from rotating in the direction of increasing the relative rotation angle, so as to control the rotation angle of the second moving part 32 relative to the first moving part 31 within an appropriate range, thereby reducing the resistance of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 to return to their initial state, and increasing the vibration reduction reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.
[0142] Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting structure can be provided on the second connecting seat 321, and the limiting structure is provided on the second end plate 3212 and is located on the circumferential outside of the second annular portion 3211. The limiting structure is used to cooperate with the first moving part 31 along the circumferential stop to limit the maximum rotation angle of the first moving part 31 when it rotates relative to the second moving part 32.
[0143] In some examples, the angle between the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 does not exceed 180°. That is, the angle between the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the first moving member 31 and the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the second moving member 32 does not exceed 180°.
[0144] It is understood that the angle of no more than 180° means that before or during the relative rotation of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32, the angle between the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the first moving member 31 and the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the second moving member 32 in the same direction does not exceed 180°. For example, refer to Figure 7 Taking the first moving part 31 as a reference, the angle between the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the first moving part 31 and the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the second moving part 32 along the counterclockwise direction shown in the figure does not exceed 180°.
[0145] In this embodiment, the angle setting between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 can limit the relative position change of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 to a reasonable range, which facilitates the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 to return to the initial state and increases the vibration reduction reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.
[0146] For some examples, see Figure 7When the barrel assembly 2 is in a stationary state, the angle between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32, that is, the angle α between the line A1 connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the first moving part 31 and the line A2 connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the second moving part 32 is not less than 50° and not more than 120°, that is, 50°≤α≤120°, for example, 50°, 55°, 60°, 63°, 69°, 72°, 75°, 86°, 90°, 95°, 100°, 110°, 120°, etc.
[0147] In this embodiment, in the initial state, the angle between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 is within an appropriate range. On the one hand, it facilitates the relative rotation of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 under the vibration of the barrel assembly 2. On the other hand, it also allows the second moving part 32 to have a sufficient rotation range when rotating relative to the first moving part 31, thereby increasing the vibration reduction reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.
[0148] In some examples, the connection position between the first moving part 31 and the second rod body 5 is the first position 3a, and the connection position between the second moving part 32 and the first rod body 4 is the second position 3b. In the plane projection perpendicular to the height direction of the clothing processing device 100, when the barrel assembly 2 is in a stationary state, the line L3 connecting the centers of the projections of the first position 3a and the second position 3b is basically perpendicular to the tangent L4 of the barrel assembly 2 at the first position 3a or the second position 3b.
[0149] The term "substantially perpendicular" means that the angle between the line L3 connecting the centers of the projections of the first position 3a and the second position 3b and the tangent line L4 of the barrel assembly 2 at the first position 3a can be 90° or close to 90°, that is, a certain degree of processing and assembly error is allowed. For example, the angle β between the line L3 connecting the centers of the projections of the first position 3a and the second position 3b and the tangent line L4 of the barrel assembly 2 at the first position 3a is 85° to 95°, that is, 85°≤β≤95°, for example, 85°, 86°, 87°, 88°, 89°, 90°, 91°, 92°, 93°, 94°, 95°, etc.
[0150] It can be understood that when the second rod body 5 is connected to the barrel assembly 2, the angle β is the angle between the line connecting the centers of the projections of the first position 3a and the second position 3b and the tangent of the barrel assembly 2 at the first position 3a; when the first rod body 4 is connected to the barrel assembly 2, the angle β is the angle between the line connecting the centers of the projections of the first position 3a and the second position 3b and the tangent of the barrel assembly 2 at the second position 3b.
[0151] by Figure 4For example, the second rod 5 is connected to the barrel assembly 2, the first rod 4 is part of the suspension rod 6, and the angle β is the angle between the line L3 connecting the centers of the projections of the first position 3a and the second position 3b and the tangent L4 of the barrel assembly 2 at the first position 3a.
[0152] In this embodiment, the range of the angle β can ensure that when the barrel assembly 2 is in a stationary state, the vibration damping assembly 3 can also be in a relatively stable state. When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the resistance of the vibration damping assembly 3 when it moves with the vibration of the barrel assembly 2 can also be small, which is convenient for increasing the working reliability of the vibration damping assembly 3.
[0153] The following combination Figure 1 The movement mode of the vibration reduction assembly 3 according to an embodiment of the present application is briefly described.
[0154] The first moving part 31 is mounted on the second rod body 5 and can rotate around the circumference of the second rod body 5. The second rod body 5 is fixed on the barrel assembly 2. The seat cover 323 is part of the second moving part 32. The connecting head 322 is mounted on the suspension rod 6. When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the seat cover 323 can swing in all directions around the connecting head 322. The connecting head 322 can slide along the extension direction of the suspension rod 6. The first moving part 31 can rotate around the circumference of the second rod body 5. The first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 can rotate relative to each other.
[0155] In this embodiment, the vibration damping assembly 3 has a total of five degrees of freedom of movement, namely, the degree of freedom of rotation around the circumferential rotation of the second rod body 5, the degree of freedom of universal swing around the connecting head 323 (equivalent to two degrees of freedom of rotation), the degree of freedom of sliding along the extension direction of the suspension rod 6, and the degree of freedom of relative rotation between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32. The probability of movement jamming of the vibration damping assembly 3 is low, it can adapt to the position changes of the barrel assembly 2 during vibration, and the vibration reduction reliability is high.
