[0002] 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.

[0044] 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.

[0046] 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.

"A plurality" means greater than or equal to two.

[0048] The present application embodiment provides a clothes processing device 100, see Figures 1 to 13 The clothing processing device 100 includes a box body 1, a barrel assembly 2, a suspension rod 6, an adapter 5 and a vibration reduction assembly 3.

[0049] 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.

[0050] The barrel assembly 2 is disposed in the box body 1 .

[0051] 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.

[0052] The box body 1 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 box body 1 can also effectively withstand external impacts and reduce the chance of damage to the barrel assembly 2.

[0053] One end of the suspension rod 6 is connected to the barrel assembly 2 , and the other end is connected to the box body 1 . The barrel assembly 2 is suspended on the box body 1 through a plurality of suspension rods 6 .

[0054] 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.

[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 the other end is connected to the adapter 5, 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, which is arranged outside the inner barrel, one end of the vibration damping assembly 3 can be connected to the water receiving tray, and the other end is connected to the adapter 5, 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 during washing or dehydration conditions, 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 adapter 5 is connected to the boom 6, one end of the vibration reduction assembly 3 is connected to the barrel assembly 2, and the other end of the vibration reduction assembly 3 is connected to the adapter 5 and can slide along the extension direction of the adapter 5.

[0060] That is, the vibration reduction assembly 3 is not directly connected to the suspension rod 6, but is directly connected to the adapter 5, and is connected to the suspension rod 6 through the adapter 5. The adapter 5 can isolate the suspension rod 6 and the vibration reduction assembly 3, reducing the wear of the vibration reduction assembly 3 and the suspension rod 5 when they are in contact with each other in motion.

[0061] It should be noted that the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 can slide along the extension direction of the adapter 5, so that it can slide relative to the suspension rod 6. There is no relative sliding between the adapter 5 and the suspension rod 6. When the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 slides relative to the adapter 5, it slides relative to the suspension rod 6. There is no sliding contact between the vibration damping assembly 3 and the suspension rod 6.

[0062] Specifically, when the clothing processing device 100 is in the washing or dehydration state, the barrel assembly 2 transfers the vibration energy to the vibration damping assembly 3. Under the action of vibration, the vibration damping assembly 3 can generate a sliding stroke relative to the adapter 5 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 damping assembly 3 to absorb the vibration energy and suppress the vibration amplitude of the barrel assembly 2.

[0063] 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.

[0064] In the related art, to reduce the vibration amplitude of the tub assembly, clothing processing equipment is equipped with a vibration damper. One end of the vibration damper is connected to the tub assembly and the other end is connected to a suspension rod. When the tub assembly vibrates, the vibration damper moves with it to dissipate vibration energy. However, the end of the vibration damper connected to the suspension rod has virtually no travel range. When the tub assembly vibrates violently, it cannot adapt to the vibration displacement of the tub assembly and may become stuck. In addition, as a load-bearing component, the suspension rod has sufficient structural strength and is made of rigid material. The vibration damper's end connected to the suspension rod rubs against the suspension rod, causing high wear and tear, thereby reducing its service life.

[0065] In the clothes processing device provided in this embodiment, when the tub assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the vibration-damping assembly 3 adapts to the vibration displacement of the tub assembly 2 in different vibration directions by sliding relative to the adapter 5 and the suspension rod 6. The end of the vibration-damping assembly 3 connected to the adapter 5 has sufficient travel and a low probability of sticking, which facilitates the vibration-damping assembly 3 to cushion the vibration of the tub assembly 2 and reduce the probability of the tub assembly 2 colliding with the housing 1. In addition, the vibration-damping assembly 3 does not directly contact and rub against the suspension rod 6, which can reduce the probability of damage to the vibration-damping assembly 3 due to friction between the two rods 6 and extend the service life of the vibration-damping assembly 3.

[0066] It is understood that the adapter 5 can be made of a wear-resistant material and have a lower structural strength than the suspension rod 6 to reduce the wear of the vibration damping assembly 3. When the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 is connected to the adapter 5, the suspension rod 6 can provide support for both the adapter 5 and the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0067] Exemplarily, the extension direction of the adapter 5 may be consistent with the length direction of the boom 6 .

[0068] In some examples, the vibration damping assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially around at least one of the barrel assembly 2 and the adapter 5 ; and / or, the adapter 5 can drive the vibration damping assembly 3 to rotate circumferentially around the boom 6 .

[0069] The above content includes multiple situations.

[0070] The first is that the vibration-damping assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially around the barrel assembly 2. When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the end of the vibration-damping assembly 3 connected to the barrel assembly 2 can adapt to the position change of the barrel assembly 2 by rotating circumferentially around the barrel assembly 2. In this embodiment, the vibration-damping assembly 3 has at least two degrees of freedom of motion, which increases the smoothness of the movement of the vibration-damping assembly 3, reduces the probability of sticking, and improves the movement reliability of the vibration-damping assembly 3.

[0071] The second option is that the vibration damping assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially about the adapter 5. Specifically, the vibration damping assembly 3 can rotate relative to the boom 6 by rotating circumferentially about the adapter 5. In this case, there is no relative rotation between the adapter 5 and the boom 6. When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 can adapt to the position changes of the barrel assembly 2 by rotating circumferentially about the adapter 5 and sliding relative to the adapter 5. This provides a wider range of motion for the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3, reducing the chance of the vibration damping assembly 3 becoming stuck at a certain position and improving smoother movement.

[0072] The third type: the adapter 5 can drive the vibration damping assembly 3 to rotate around the circumference of the hanger 6. That is to say, the adapter 5 can rotate around the circumference of the hanger 6, and drive the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 to rotate synchronously around the circumference of the hanger 6. In this case, there is relative rotation between the adapter 5 and the hanger 6. When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 can rotate around the circumference of the hanger 6 driven by the adapter 5 to adapt to the position change of the barrel assembly 2. In this embodiment, there is only sliding friction between the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 and the adapter 5, and no rotational friction, which can reduce the wear probability of the vibration damping assembly 3 and increase the vibration damping reliability of the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0073] The fourth type: the vibration reduction assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially around the barrel assembly 2 and can rotate circumferentially around the adapter 5. In this case, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, both ends of the vibration reduction assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially, and the vibration reduction assembly 3 has at least three degrees of freedom of motion.

[0074] Fifth option: The vibration damping assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially around the barrel assembly 2, and the adapter 5 can drive the vibration damping assembly 3 to rotate circumferentially around the suspension rod 6. In this case, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, both ends of the vibration damping assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially, the vibration damping assembly 3 has at least three degrees of freedom of motion, and the probability of wear of the vibration damping assembly 3 is lower.

[0075] There is no limitation on the manner of achieving no relative sliding between the adapter 5 and the suspension rod 6 .

[0076] For example, in some embodiments, see Figure 8 The suspension rod 6 is provided with two slots spaced apart along the extension direction of the suspension rod 6. The laundry processing device 100 includes two retaining springs 65, which are respectively retained in the corresponding retaining grooves. The adapter 5 is clamped between the two retaining springs 61 at opposite ends along the axial direction. Thus, the retaining springs 61 cooperate with the retaining grooves to restrict the adapter 5 from sliding along the extension direction of the suspension rod 6, thereby preventing relative sliding between the adapter 5 and the suspension rod 6.

[0077] For some examples, see Figure 8 The adapter 5 has a first protrusion 51 and a second protrusion 52 , the first protrusion 51 and the second protrusion 52 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction, and the connecting member 322 is located between the first protrusion 51 and the second protrusion 52 .

[0078] In this embodiment, the setting of the first protrusion 51 and the second protrusion 52 can limit the sliding stroke of the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 between the first protrusion 51 and the second protrusion 52, which is convenient for limiting the sliding of the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3, reducing the probability of the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 sliding out of the adapter 5 and directly contacting the suspension rod 6 and being worn, thereby increasing the working reliability of the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0079] For some examples, see Figure 6 The other end of the vibration reduction assembly 3 includes a connecting portion 322, which is connected to the adapter 5 and can swing up and down around the connection between the connecting portion 322 and the adapter 5.

[0080] That is, the connecting portion 322 can swing relative to the adapter 5 , that is, the vibration damping assembly 3 can slide relative to the adapter 5 while also swinging relative to the adapter 5 . In this embodiment, the vibration damping assembly 3 has at least two degrees of freedom of movement.

[0081] Specifically, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the connecting portion 322 can adapt to the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2 in different vibration directions by sliding and swinging relative to the adapter 5. The coordination of sliding and swinging can increase the smoothness of the movement of the vibration damping assembly 3, reduce the probability of the vibration damping assembly 3 getting stuck at a certain movement position, further reduce the probability of the vibration damping assembly 3 getting stuck, and increase the movement reliability of the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0082] In an embodiment in which one end of the vibration damping assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially around the barrel assembly 2, and the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially around the adapter 5, or rotate circumferentially around the boom 6 driven by the adapter 5, the vibration damping assembly 3 has at least four degrees of freedom of movement, a wider range of movement, and a lower chance of getting stuck.

[0083] The connection method between the vibration damping assembly 3 and the adapter 5 is not limited.

[0084] For some examples, see Figure 8 The adapter 5 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the boom 6 and cooperates with the boom 6 to prevent rotation along the circumferential direction. The connecting portion 322 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the adapter 5, and the connecting portion 322 can rotate along the circumferential direction of the adapter 5.

[0085] That is, in this embodiment, the adapter 5 and the suspension rod 6 do not rotate relative to each other. The circumferential rotation of the connecting portion 322 about the adapter 5 enables the connecting portion 322 to rotate circumferentially about the suspension rod 6. This reduces the likelihood of wear and tear from direct friction between the connecting portion 322 and the suspension rod 6, thereby increasing the service life of the vibration damping assembly 3. Furthermore, the lack of relative rotation between the adapter 5 and the suspension rod 6 also reduces the rate of frictional damage to the adapter 5. The adapter 5 only needs to move relative to the connecting portion 322, further enhancing the structural stability of the clothing processing apparatus 100.

[0086] In the embodiment where the connecting portion 322 rotates circumferentially around the adapter 5 , there is no limitation on the manner in which the connecting portion 322 can swing and slide up and down relative to the adapter 5 .

[0087] For example, in some embodiments, see 8 to Figure 11 The connecting portion 322 has a first hole 322a, and the adapter 5 is slidably inserted into the first hole 322a. From the opposite ends of the first hole 322a along its axial direction toward the middle position of the first hole 322a along its axial direction, the hole wall of the first hole 322a extends toward the axis of the first hole 322a, so that the hole wall of the first hole 322a and the adapter 5 can swing relative to each other in the up and down directions.

[0088] That is to say, the aperture of the first hole 322a gradually decreases from the opposite ends of the first hole 322a along its axial direction toward the middle position of the first hole 322a along its axial direction. The aperture of the first hole 322a at the middle position of the axial direction is smaller than the aperture of the first hole 322a at the two ends of the axial direction. The aperture of the first hole 322a is roughly larger at the two ends and smaller in the middle.

[0089] In this embodiment, the gap between the adapter 5 and the hole wall of the first hole 322a gradually increases from the middle position of the first hole 322a along its axial direction toward the opposite ends of the first hole 322a along its axial direction. Therefore, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the connecting part 322 slides up and down relative to the adapter 5 and rotates circumferentially around the adapter 5. The first hole 322a can also provide space for the connecting part 322 to swing up and down. In this way, multiple movement modes of the connecting part 322 can be realized only through the cooperation between the first hole 322a and the adapter 5, the probability of the connecting part 322 getting stuck in movement is reduced, and the overall structure of the vibration damping assembly 3 can also be simpler. In addition, the aperture of the first hole 322a is the smallest at the middle position of the axial direction, which also facilitates increasing the assembly stability of the first hole 322a and the adapter 5.

[0090] In this embodiment, the vibration reduction assembly 3 has at least four degrees of freedom, namely, the rotational freedom of circumferential rotation around the rod body 4, the rotational freedom of circumferential rotation relative to the suspension rod 6, the sliding freedom relative to the suspension rod 6, and the swinging freedom relative to the suspension rod 6, and the probability of motion jamming is low.

[0091] In other embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The top of the hanger 6 has an upper support 60 and a rotating structure 61. The hanger 6 is connected to the box 1 through the upper support 60. The rotating structure 61 is arranged at the bottom end of the upper support 60 and can rotate around the upper support 60. The adapter 5 is connected to the rotating structure 61 so as to rotate around the circumference of the hanger 6 under the drive of the rotating structure 61.

[0092] That is, in this embodiment, the adapter 5 and the suspension rod 6 rotate relative to each other. The rotation of the rotating structure 61 about the upper support 60 enables the adapter 5 to rotate circumferentially about the suspension rod 6, which in turn drives the connection portion 322 to rotate circumferentially about the suspension rod 6. This reduces the likelihood of wear caused by direct friction between the connection portion 322 and the suspension rod 6, thereby increasing the service life of the vibration damping assembly 3. Furthermore, the rotation of the connection portion 322 about the suspension rod 6 driven by the adapter 5 also reduces the likelihood of damage from friction between the connection portion 322 and the adapter 5, further reducing the wear rate of the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0093] In the embodiment in which the connecting member 322 rotates circumferentially around the suspension rod 6 driven by the adapter 5 , there is no limitation on the manner in which the connecting member 322 slides up and down relative to the adapter 5 .

[0094] For example, in some embodiments, see Figures 5 to 7 The connecting part 322 includes a connecting frame 3221 and a slider 3222. The connecting frame 3221 has an opening groove 3221a. The groove walls on opposite sides of the opening groove 3221a along the first direction are respectively provided with sliders 3222. The adapter 5 is inserted into the opening groove 3221a. The adapter 5 has sliding grooves 5a on opposite sides along the first direction. The sliding grooves 5a extend along the length direction of the suspension rod 6. The slider 3222 is slidably inserted into the sliding grooves 5a, wherein the first direction intersects with the length direction of the suspension rod 6.

[0095] Specifically, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the barrel assembly 2 transfers the vibration energy to the vibration damping assembly 3. Under the action of vibration, the connecting part 322 rotates circumferentially around the suspension rod 6 driven by the adapter 5. At the same time, the connecting part 322 can slide relative to the adapter 5 by sliding the slider 3222 in the slide groove 5a, thereby adapting to the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2. The movement range of the connecting part 322 is increased, and the probability of sticking is low, which facilitates increasing the movement reliability of the vibration damping assembly 3, thereby buffering the vibration of the barrel assembly 2.

[0096] For some examples, see Figure 6 The bottom end of the slide groove 5a has a limiting wall 5b to limit the sliding stroke of the slider 3222 within the slide groove 5a.

[0097] In this embodiment, the setting of the limiting wall 5b can limit the movement of the slider 3222 within the slide groove 5a, which is convenient for limiting the sliding of the slider 3222, reducing the probability of the connecting part 322 sliding out of the slide groove 5a and directly contacting the suspension rod 6 and being worn, thereby increasing the working reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.

[0098] It can be understood that the first direction intersects with the length direction of the suspension rod 6, and the angle between the first direction and the length direction of the suspension rod 6 can be an acute angle, a right angle, an obtuse angle, etc., which is not limited here.

[0099] See also Figure 5 In a plane projection perpendicular to the first direction, the slider 3222 is circular or arc-shaped, so that the connecting portion 322 can swing up and down around the matching position between the slider 3222 and the slide groove 5a.

[0100] That is to say, by setting the shape of the slider 3222, the connecting part 322 can swing relative to the adapter 5. In this way, the connecting part 322 can rotate circumferentially around the suspension rod 6 and slide relative to the suspension rod 6 under the drive of the adapter 5, and can also swing relative to the suspension rod 6. The movement of the connecting part 322 is smooth, which is convenient for adapting to the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2, thereby facilitating the vibration reduction assembly 3 to cushion the vibration of the barrel assembly 2 and reducing the probability of the barrel assembly 2 hitting the box body 1.

[0101] In this embodiment, the vibration reduction assembly 3 has at least four degrees of freedom, namely, the rotational freedom of circumferential rotation around the rod body 4, the rotational freedom of circumferential rotation around the suspension rod 6, the freedom of sliding relative to the suspension rod 6, and the freedom of swinging relative to the suspension rod 6, and the probability of motion jamming is low.

[0102] In other embodiments, the adapter 5 is a rod-shaped structure, the rod-shaped structure is spaced apart from the suspension rod 6, and the extension direction of the rod-shaped structure is parallel to the extension direction of the suspension rod 6. The clothing processing device 100 includes a connecting structure, and the two ends of the rod-shaped structure along the extension direction are connected to the suspension rod 6 through the connecting structure, and the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rod-shaped structure.

[0103] In this embodiment, the adapter 5 is connected to the suspension rod 6 via a connection structure. That is, the adapter 5 does not directly contact the suspension rod 6. This reduces the likelihood of contact wear between the adapter 5 and the suspension rod 6, and also reduces the likelihood of direct contact between the vibration damping assembly 3 and the suspension rod 6. In addition, the suspension rod 6 can provide support for the adapter 5, thereby increasing the movement stability of the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0104] The specific structure of the vibration damping assembly 3 is not limited.

[0105] For some examples, see Figures 8 to 12 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 first moving part 31 is connected to the adapter 5 or the second moving part 32 is connected to the adapter 5.

[0106] It should be noted that the friction member 33 refers to a structure whose material itself has friction damping properties.

[0107] It should be noted that the connection between the first moving member 31 and the adapter 5 or the connection between the second moving member 32 and the adapter 5 can be achieved by either the first moving member 31 sliding relative to the adapter 5 or the second moving member 32 sliding relative to the adapter 5. When the first moving member 31 is connected to the adapter 5, the end of the second moving member 32 away from the first moving member 31 is connected to the barrel assembly 2; when the second moving member 32 is connected to the adapter 5, the end of the first moving member 31 away from the second moving member 32 is connected to the barrel assembly 2.

[0108] 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.

[0109] 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. On the one hand, the vibration reduction assembly 3 has a higher degree of freedom of movement. On the other hand, the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 can rub against the friction part 33 to generate friction damping. The friction damping can serve as the damping force of the vibration reduction assembly 3 to reduce the vibration of the barrel assembly 2, thereby achieving vibration buffering of the barrel assembly 2.

[0110] 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 barrel assembly 2 or 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.

[0111] 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.

[0112] For some examples, see Figure 12 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 tub 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.

[0113] 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.

[0114] 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.

[0115] 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.

[0116] 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 vibration of the barrel assembly 2 in the horizontal direction, thereby effectively suppressing the horizontal vibration of the barrel assembly 2, reducing the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2, and reducing the probability of the barrel assembly 2 colliding with the box body 1.

[0117] For some examples, see Figure 1 and Figure 8 The second moving member 32 is connected to the adapter 5 at one end away from the first moving member 31 . The second moving member 32 is a rigid component as a whole and rotates around the adapter 5 or rotates around the circumference of the boom 6 driven by the adapter 5 .

[0118] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 8 The connecting portion 322 serves as a part of the second moving member 32 , and the second moving member 32 is connected to the adapter 5 through the connecting portion 322 .

[0119] It should be noted that a rigid component is a single element of a mechanism, a rigid body that has considerable motion with an adjacent component. A rigid component is a basic unit that constitutes a mechanism in mechanics and has a definite relative motion relationship with each other.

[0120] In this embodiment, when the second moving part 32 rotates circumferentially around the adapter 5 or rotates circumferentially around the suspension rod 6 driven by the adapter 5, it can drive the second moving part 32 as a whole to rotate relative to the suspension rod 6, thereby reducing the probability of the second moving part 32 getting stuck.

[0121] The second moving member 32 may be an integral component with a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0122] For example, in some examples, the second moving part 32 may also have only one degree of rotational freedom, that is, the degree of freedom of circumferential rotation relative to the boom 6, and the movement of the second moving part 32 in other directions is constrained, so that the overall vibration reduction assembly 3 can adaptably change with the change of the position of the barrel assembly 2, while also making the overall vibration reduction assembly 3 have sufficient installation stability.

[0123] For some examples, see Figure 1 The clothing processing device 100 includes a rod body 4, which is arranged on the barrel assembly 2, and an end of the first moving member 31 away from the second moving member 32 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rod body 4 and can rotate around the circumference of the rod body 4.

[0124] In this embodiment, when the barrel assembly barrel 2 vibrates and deflects, the first moving part 31 rotates circumferentially around the rod body 4, which reduces the probability of the first moving part 31 getting stuck and also facilitates relative rotation with the second moving part 32, thereby generating friction damping against the friction part 33 and cushioning the vibration of the barrel assembly 2.

[0125] The rod body 4 is mounted on the barrel assembly 2 in any manner.

[0126] For some examples, see Figure 1 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. The two ends of the rod body 4 are fixed to the mounting blocks 21. The first moving part 31 is sleeved on the position of the rod body 4 between the two mounting blocks 21.

[0127] In this way, on the one hand, the stability of the rod body 4 fixed to the barrel assembly 2 can be increased, the probability of the rod body 4 falling off the barrel assembly 2 can be reduced, and the probability of the first moving part 31 falling off the rod body 4 can also be reduced. On the other hand, the movement stroke of the first moving part 31 sliding up and down along the rod body 4 is also limited between the two mounting blocks 21, which is convenient for limiting the up and down sliding of the first moving part 31 and increasing the movement stability of the first moving part 31.

[0128] The rod body 4 may extend in the height direction so as to reduce the movement resistance of the first moving member 31 .

[0129] The specific structures of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 are not limited.

[0130] For some examples, see Figure 10 and Figure 12 The first moving part 31 includes a first connecting seat 311, the second moving part 32 includes a second connecting seat 321, the connecting part 322 is arranged at one end of the 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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.

[0133] For some examples, see Figures 5 to 7 The connecting portion 322 is rotatably connected to the second connecting seat 321 , and the rotation axes of the two are perpendicular to the axis of the boom 6 , so that the connecting portion 322 can rotate relative to the second connecting seat 321 .

[0134] That is to say, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the connecting portion 322 can also rotate relative to the second connecting seat 321, thereby further reducing the probability of the second moving part 32 getting stuck and increasing the vibration reduction reliability.

[0135] For some examples, see Figure 10 and Figure 12 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.

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.

[0138] For some examples, see Figure 10 and Figure 12 The second annular portion 3211 surrounds the outer circumference of the first annular portion 3111, the second end plate 3212 is provided with a 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 through hole 3212a and is connected to the surface of the second end plate 3212 away from the first end plate 3112.

[0139] The elastic hook 3113 refers to a structure that has elasticity and can be deformed.

[0140] 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 through hole 3212a of the second annular part 3211 is passed from top to bottom through the elastic hook 3113. 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 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.

[0141] The number of the elastic hooks 3113 is not limited and can be one, two or more than three. For example, see Figure 10 , the number of the elastic hooks 3113 is three.

[0142] 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 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 through hole and is connected to the surface of the first end plate 3112 away from the second end plate 3212.

[0143] For some examples, see Figure 9 and Figure 10 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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 adapter 5.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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°.

[0151] 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 11 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°.

[0152] 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, so that the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 can adaptively move with the vibration position change of the barrel assembly 2, thereby increasing the vibration reduction reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.

[0153] For some examples, see Figure 11 When 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.

[0154] In this embodiment, when the barrel assembly 2 is in a stationary 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.

[0155] For some examples, see Figure 4 The connection position between the vibration damping assembly 3 and the rod body 4 is the first position 3a, and the connection position between the vibration damping assembly 3 and the adapter 5 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.

[0156] 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°, i.e., 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°, i.e., 85°≤β≤95°, for example, 85°, 86°, 87°, 88°, 89°, 90°, 91°, 92°, 93°, 94°, 95°, etc.

[0157] 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.

[0158] The following combination Figures 1 to 13 The movement mode of the vibration reduction assembly 3 in the embodiment of the present application is briefly described.

[0159] First embodiment:

[0160] See also Figures 1 to 7 The first moving part 31 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the rod body 4, and the first moving part 31 can rotate around the circumference of the rod body 4. The second moving part 32 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the adapter 5 through the first hole 322a. The adapter 5 and the suspension rod 6 are circumferentially fixed. The second moving part 32 can rotate around the circumference of the adapter 5, slide along the axial direction of the adapter 5, and swing up and down relative to the adapter 5. The first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 can rotate relative to each other around the connection between the two.

[0161] In this embodiment, the vibration damping assembly 3 has five degrees of freedom of movement, namely, the degree of freedom of rotation around the rod body 4, the degree of freedom of rotation around the adapter 5, the degree of freedom of sliding along the axial direction of the adapter 5, the degree of freedom of swinging up and down relative to the adapter 5, and the degree of freedom of relative rotation between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32. The probability of the vibration damping assembly 3 getting stuck is low, it can adapt to the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2 in different vibration directions, and the vibration reduction reliability is high.

[0162] Second embodiment:

[0163] See also Figures 8 to 13The first moving part 31 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rod body 4, and the first moving part 31 can rotate around the circumference of the rod body 4. The second moving part 32 is connected to the adapter 5 through the connecting part 322. The adapter 5 is connected to the rotating structure 61 on the suspension rod 6. The adapter 5 can drive the connecting part 322 to rotate relative to the suspension rod 6. The connecting part 322 can slide along the slide groove 5a on the adapter 5 and swing relative to the adapter 5. The connecting part 322 is rotatably connected to the second connecting seat 321. The connecting part 322 can rotate relative to the second connecting seat 321. The first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 can rotate relative to each other around the connection between the two.

[0164] In this embodiment, the vibration damping assembly 3 has six degrees of freedom of movement, namely, the degree of freedom of rotation around the rod body 4, the degree of freedom of rotation around the suspension rod 6 driven by the adapter 5, the degree of freedom of sliding relative to the adapter 5, the degree of freedom of swinging relative to the adapter 5, the degree of freedom of rotation between the connecting part 322 and the second connecting seat 321, 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 vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2 in different vibration directions, and the vibration reduction reliability is high.
