[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the 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 merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0042] The specific technical features described in the specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. For example, different combinations of specific technical features can form different embodiments and technical solutions. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in this invention will not be described separately.

[0043] In the following description, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used merely to distinguish different objects and do not indicate that the objects have the sameness or relationship. It should be understood that the directional descriptions "above," "below," "outside," and "inside" refer to the orientation under normal use conditions, while "left" and "right" refer to the left and right directions shown in the corresponding diagrams, which may or may not be the left and right directions under normal use conditions.

[0044] It should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element. "A plurality of" means two or more.

[0045] This application provides a garment processing device 1.

[0046] It is understood that the garment processing equipment 1 can include various forms, such as washing machines, spin dryers, dryers, washer-dryer combos, washer-dryer sets, etc. The garment processing equipment 1 can independently perform any one or more of the functions of washing, drying, and spin-drying.

[0047] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The garment processing equipment 1 includes a supporting body 10, at least one first cylinder assembly 20, and a first connecting member 40.

[0048] The supporting body 10 has a first installation space 10a, and the first cylinder assembly 20 is disposed in the first installation space 10a.

[0049] It is understood that the supporting body 10 is used to provide a accommodating space for the first cylindrical assembly 20, and the supporting body 10 has sufficient structural strength to serve as a load-bearing component, bearing vertical load and resisting horizontal forces. The first cylindrical assembly 20 is supported on the supporting body 10, and the supporting body 10 is able to bear at least the weight of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and its load.

[0050] It is understood that the specific structure of the first cylindrical assembly 20 is not limited. The first cylindrical assembly 20 may include a first outer tub and a first inner tub. The first outer tub is fitted over the first inner tub. The first outer tub is used to hold water, and the first inner tub is used to hold clothing. In this embodiment, the first inner tub holds water through the outer tub, and the first inner tub may also be referred to as a perforated inner tub. In other embodiments, the first inner tub holds water on its own, and may also be referred to as a non-perforated inner tub.

[0051] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 There are two first cylinder components 20, and the two first cylinder components 20 are arranged at intervals along the left and right directions of the clothing processing equipment 100.

[0052] In some embodiments, each first cylindrical assembly 20 is configured with a first connecting member 40. Furthermore, the two first cylindrical assemblies 20 are not connected to each other; that is, the movement of one first cylindrical assembly 20 does not necessarily cause the other first cylindrical assembly 20 to move synchronously.

[0053] In some implementations, the two first drum assemblies 20 can be housed separately in one unit, allowing for independent washing or drying of different types of clothing in separate sections. In other implementations, the aforementioned structure, where the two first drum assemblies 20 are housed separately in one unit, can be stacked on top of a conventional washing machine, dryer, or washer-dryer combo to meet the user's needs for separate washing.

[0054] One end of the first connecting member 40 is connected to the first cylindrical assembly 20, and the other end is rotatably connected to the supporting body 10. It should be noted that the rotatable connection does not mean that it will rotate at all times. It can be due to vibration under certain conditions, such as when the clothing processing equipment is in operation, the first cylindrical assembly 20 will vibrate, and at this time it can rotate around the rotation axis.

[0055] The axis of rotation of the first connecting member 40 can be denoted as the first axis. It can be understood that the first axis can be a virtual straight line.

[0056] The first connecting member 40 is used to establish a force transmission relationship between the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the supporting body 10. At least part of the weight of the first cylindrical assembly 20 is transferred to the first connecting member 40, and the first connecting member 40 transfers the weight to the supporting body 10.

[0057] In the garment processing device of this application embodiment, when the first tubular assembly 20 vibrates, the first tubular assembly 20 can release vibration energy by rotating around the rotation axis of the first connecting member 40. Furthermore, the position of the rotation axis (i.e., the first axis) of the first connecting member 40 does not significantly shift, and the maximum rotation radius of the first tubular assembly 20 with the first axis as the center is determined. Thus, the first tubular assembly 20 can maintain a small safe distance from other structures in the aforementioned radial direction, which is beneficial for a compact structure.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first cylindrical assembly 20 as a whole is rotatable relative to the supporting body 10 about a first axis. It is understood that the first cylindrical assembly 20 revolves around the first axis. The first inner cylinder of the first cylindrical assembly 20 can rotate about its own axis.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first connecting member 40 is a rigid member. A rigid member is one whose shape and size remain unchanged during force application or movement without causing damage. That is, regardless of the magnitude of the external force, the distance and relative position between any two points within the member do not change. Specifically, the distance from the connection point of the first connecting member 40 to the first cylindrical assembly 20 to the first axis remains constant; it neither elongates nor shortens. Therefore, the radius of rotation of the first cylindrical assembly 20 around the first axis remains unchanged. The rigid first connecting member 40 facilitates more accurate and controllable rotation trajectory of the first cylindrical assembly 20.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first connecting member 40 is a connecting rod, which is a rigid member. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first outer barrel is integrally formed with the first connecting member 40. For example, it is an integrally injection-molded structure. This is beneficial for improving the structural strength and connection reliability of the connection between the first connecting member 40 and the first outer barrel. In addition, it can also eliminate the assembly process between the first connecting member 40 and the first outer barrel, saving assembly time.

[0061] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the first outer barrel and the first connecting member 40 may be an integral structure. In other embodiments, the first outer barrel is composed of at least two separate parts connected together, and the first connecting member 40 is integrally formed with one of the parts.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first connecting member 40 is a lug protruding above one side of the first outer barrel, and the lug is integrally formed with the first outer barrel, for example, it is an integrally formed plastic part. In this way, the structure is simple, and the size of the lug is relatively small, which helps to improve the rigidity of the lug and meet the usage requirements.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first connecting member 40 extends upward from the first cylindrical assembly 20. For example, it extends vertically upward, or it extends obliquely to the upper left, or it extends obliquely to the upper right. In general, the position of the axis of the first connecting member 40 is higher than the position of the connection point between the first connecting member 40 and the first cylindrical assembly 20. Thus, the first connecting member 40 bears tensile force, which helps improve the stress conditions of the first connecting member 40.

[0064] In some embodiments, the supporting body 10 includes two first side supports 102 spaced apart in the left-right direction of the garment processing device. A first connecting member 40 is located on the side of the central perpendicular plane B of the first tubular assembly 20 near the first side support 102. The central perpendicular plane B is a vertical plane passing through the axis of the first tubular assembly 20. For example, for the left-side first tubular assembly 20, the first connecting member 40 is located to the left of the central perpendicular plane B, and in this case, the first connecting member 40 is closer to the left-side first side support 102 than the central perpendicular plane B. For the right-side first tubular assembly 20, the first connecting member 40 is located to the right of the central perpendicular plane B, and in this case, the first connecting member 40 is closer to the right-side first side support 102 than the central perpendicular plane B.

[0065] In this embodiment, the first connecting member 40 is located relatively close to the left-right edge of the supporting body 10. The edge provides stronger structural strength and rigidity, reduces vibration amplitude, and improves the stability of the garment processing equipment. Furthermore, since the first connecting member 40 is located relatively close to the left-right edge of the supporting body 10, the first axis is also close to the left-right edge of the supporting body 10, thus fully utilizing the space at the left-right edge of the supporting body 10.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first cylindrical assembly 20 is mounted to the supporting body 10 only via the first connecting member 40. For example, the first cylindrical assembly 20 is suspended below the first connecting member 40, and the first axis and the center of mass of the first cylindrical assembly 20 are located in the same vertical plane. That is, in this embodiment, the second connecting member 50 described below may not be provided.

[0067] In some embodiments, the garment handling device includes a second connecting member 50, one end of which is connected to the first bobbin assembly 20, and the other end of which is connected to the supporting body 10. By having the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 jointly bear the weight of the first bobbin assembly 20, better stability is achieved.

[0068] In some embodiments, the elasticity of the second connecting member 50 is greater than that of the first connecting member 40.

[0069] It should be noted that the elasticity of the second connecting member 50 being greater than that of the first connecting member 40 includes the following two situations: first, the first connecting member 40 has almost no elasticity (which can be understood as a rigid member in a mechanical sense); second, the first connecting member 40 can exhibit some degree of elasticity, but the elasticity is less than that of the second connecting member 50.

[0070] In this embodiment, when the first cylindrical assembly 20 vibrates, the effective length of the second connecting member 50 can change because the second connecting member 50 is elastic. Therefore, the second connecting member 50 and the first connecting member 40 allow the entire first cylindrical assembly 20 to rotate around the rotation axis of the first connecting member 40 to release vibration energy.

[0071] It should be noted that connecting the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the supporting body 10 through the second connecting member 50 is beneficial to improving the stress conditions of the first connecting member 40 and improving the installation stability of the first cylindrical assembly 20.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first cylindrical assembly 20 is suspended from the supporting body 10 via the second connecting member 50 and the first connecting member 40. Alternatively, it can be understood that the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 bear the tensile force. No other structure is needed below the first cylindrical assembly 20 to support it, resulting in a compact structure and freeing up more usable space in the area below the first cylindrical assembly 20.

[0073] In some embodiments, the second connecting member 50 may be the first elastic member.

[0074] The specific structure of the second connecting member 50 is not limited. For example, it may include at least one of a shock absorber and a suspension spring (a suspension spring being one form of the first elastic element). The shock absorber may be the shock absorber used in existing drum washing machines, which will not be described in detail here.

[0075] It should be noted that the arrangement of the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 is not limited, as long as the balance of the first cylinder assembly 20 can be maintained.

[0076] For example, in some embodiments, the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 may be located on the same side of the vertical plane of the first cylindrical assembly 20, for example, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7 and Figure 9 The first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 are both located to the left of the vertical plane B or both are located to the right of the vertical plane B. In this embodiment, the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 may both be located on the horizontal center plane C (refer to...). Figure 1 Above (e.g.) Figure 7 (As shown in the embodiment), or both are located below the horizontal center plane C, or one is located above the horizontal center plane C and the other is located below the horizontal center plane C (e.g.) Figure 9(See the illustrated embodiment). Here, the horizontal center plane C refers to the horizontal plane passing through the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 20. In a plane perpendicular to the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 20, a rectangular coordinate system is constructed using the horizontal center plane C and the perpendicular plane B. The area above the horizontal center plane C and to the right of the perpendicular plane B is defined as the first quadrant. In a counter-clockwise direction, these are sequentially designated as the second, third, and fourth quadrants. The first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 can both be located in the same quadrant, or one of them can be located in the first quadrant and the other in the fourth quadrant, or one of them can be located in the second quadrant and the other in the third quadrant.

[0077] In other embodiments, the second connecting member 50 and the first connecting member 40 are located on the vertical plane B of the first cylindrical assembly 20 (see [reference]). Figure 1 On opposite sides of the first cylindrical assembly 20, the perpendicular plane B is a vertical plane passing through the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 20. Thus, through the combined action of the second connecting member 50 and the first connecting member 40, the first cylindrical assembly 20 is kept in force balance, exhibiting good stability and avoiding a cantilevered support state. In a plane perpendicular to the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 20, a rectangular coordinate system is constructed using the horizontal center plane C and the perpendicular plane B. The area above the horizontal center plane C and to the right of the perpendicular plane B is defined as the first quadrant. In a counter-clockwise direction, the quadrants are sequentially designated as the second, third, and fourth quadrants. When one of the second connecting member 50 and the first connecting member 40 is located in the first or fourth quadrant, the other is located in the second or third quadrant.

[0078] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The two ends of the second connecting member 50 are located on opposite sides of the vertical plane B, that is, the second connecting member 50 passes through the vertical plane B. For example, one end of the second connecting member 50 for connecting with the first cylinder assembly 20 is located on the left side of the vertical plane B, and the other end is located on the right side of the vertical plane B.

[0079] It should be noted that, in Figure 9 In the illustrated embodiment, the second connecting member 50 needs to have adequate support strength to withstand axial pressure. For example, the second connecting member 50 can be a vibration damper. The second connecting member 50 can be extended or shortened in its own length direction and has sufficient support capacity. The second connecting member 50 is hinged to the load-bearing body, and / or the second connecting member 50 is hinged to the first cylinder assembly 20.

[0080] In some embodiments, both the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 are located above the horizontal center plane C, which is a horizontal plane passing through the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 20. That is, no position of the first connecting member 40 or the second connecting member 50 is lower than the horizontal center plane C. This facilitates freeing up more space below the first cylindrical assembly 20. It should be noted that in this embodiment, a rectangular coordinate system is constructed in the plane perpendicular to the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 20, using the horizontal center plane C and the perpendicular plane B. The area above the horizontal center plane C and to the right of the perpendicular plane B is defined as the first quadrant, and in a counter-clockwise direction, the second, third, and fourth quadrants are defined sequentially. The first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 can both be located in the first quadrant, or both can be located in the second quadrant, or one of the first connecting member 40 and the other in the second quadrant.

[0081] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The garment processing equipment may also include a second cylindrical assembly 30, which is disposed in the first installation space 10a.

[0082] It is understood that the first drum assembly 20 and the second drum assembly 30 can be used to perform the same clothing processing function or different clothing processing functions. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the first drum assembly 20 and the second drum assembly 30 can be used to wash or dry the same type of clothing or to wash or dry different types of clothing. For example, the first drum assembly 20 can wash or dry underwear, socks, etc., while the second drum assembly 30 can wash or dry outerwear, etc., thus enabling corresponding washing or drying for clothing of different sizes or with different washing or drying requirements, thereby increasing clothing processing efficiency and reliability. In other embodiments, one of the first drum assembly 20 and the second drum assembly 30 is used for washing clothes, and the other is used for drying clothes, thus providing multiple clothing processing functions.

[0083] It should be noted that the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the second cylindrical assembly 30 can work simultaneously or separately.

[0084] The first tubular assembly 20 is located above the second tubular assembly 30. "Above" means that the axis of the first tubular assembly 20 is higher than the axis of the second tubular assembly 30. The first tubular assembly 20 can be located directly above, to the upper left of, or to the upper right of the second tubular assembly 30, etc. This increases garment handling capacity without increasing floor space and facilitates independent operation of the first tubular assembly 20 and the second tubular assembly 30, or their sequential operation to achieve different functions.

[0085] For example, please refer to Figure 4 In the orthographic projection onto a plane perpendicular to the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 20, the distance between the center of mass of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the first straight line L1 does not exceed 15 mm. The first straight line L1 is a straight line passing through the rotation axis (i.e., the first axis) of the first connecting member 40 and the rotation axis of the first cylindrical assembly 20.

[0086] In this embodiment, the center of mass and the center of gravity coincide.

[0087] The center of mass of the first cylindrical assembly 20 can be measured by removing the first cylindrical assembly 20 (if there is a counterweight on the first cylindrical assembly 20, the counterweight should also be removed and treated as a whole), and measuring it using any known method such as the balance method or the suspension method.

[0088] It should be noted that the descriptions of angles, distances, etc. in the embodiments of this application are based on the positional relationship of the first cylindrical assembly 20 when it is in a stationary state.

[0089] It should be noted that the distance between the center of mass of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the first straight line L1 not exceeding 15mm includes two cases: First, the center of mass of the first cylindrical assembly 20 is located on the first straight line L1, and in this case, the distance between the center of mass of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the first straight line L1 is zero; Second, the center of mass of the first cylindrical assembly 20 is not on the first straight line L1, and the distance between the center of mass and the first straight line L1 does not exceed 15mm.

[0090] Please see Figure 1 Lines L2, L3, and the first line L1 are parallel to each other. The distance between line L2 and the first line L1 is 15mm, and the distance between line L3 and the first line L1 is 15mm. The center of mass of the first cylinder assembly 20 is located between line L2 (including line L2) and line L3 (including line L3).

[0091] It should be noted that, Figure 1 It is in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 20. Figure 1 (The orthographic projection of the paper) The first line L1, line L2, and line L3 can all be understood as perpendicular to the plane of the paper in three-dimensional space. Figure 1 The plane in the direction of the paper.

[0092] When the first cylindrical assembly 20 is at rest, its center of mass is located at or near the first straight line L1. Therefore, the rotational inertia of the first cylindrical assembly 20 from its rest position toward the opposite sides of the first straight line L1 is similar. Thus, the first cylindrical assembly 20 can swing symmetrically or nearly symmetrically, making the amplitude of the swing of the first cylindrical assembly 20 toward the two sides of the first straight line L1 symmetrical or nearly symmetrical.

[0093] Moment of inertia is a physical quantity that describes an object’s ability to resist angular acceleration. The greater the moment of inertia, the more difficult it is for the object to be rotated (it requires a larger torque to produce the same angular acceleration).

[0094] In some embodiments, the distance between the center of mass of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the first straight line L1 is no more than 10 mm. Thus, the distance between the center of mass of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the first straight line L1 is smaller, further making the amplitude of the swing of the first cylindrical assembly 20 towards both sides of the first straight line L1 symmetrical or nearly symmetrical.

[0095] In some embodiments, the first cylindrical assembly 20 is suspended from the supporting body 10 via the second connecting member 50 and the first connecting member 40. This can also be understood as the first connecting member 40 bearing tensile force, and the second connecting member 50 bearing tensile force. No other structure is needed below the first cylindrical assembly 20 to support it; thus, the structure is compact, freeing up more space in the area below the first cylindrical assembly 20.

[0096] In some embodiments, the second connecting member 50 may be the first elastic member.

[0097] The specific structure of the second connecting member 50 is not limited. For example, it may include at least one of a shock absorber and a suspension spring (a suspension spring being one form of the first elastic element). The shock absorber may be the shock absorber used in existing drum washing machines, which will not be described in detail here.

[0098] One of the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 extends upward and to the left from the first cylindrical assembly 20, and the other of the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 extends upward and to the right from the first cylindrical assembly 20. That is, from the upward direction of the first cylindrical assembly 20, the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 extend in a direction away from each other, for example, the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 are in an inverted V-shape.

[0099] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4In the orthographic projection of a plane perpendicular to the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 20, the connection between the rotation axis of the first connecting member 40 and the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 20 is a first straight line L1. The extension of the first straight line L1 intersects the extension of the central axis L2 of the second connecting member 50 (the intersection point is O1) and has an included angle α, which is 60° to 80°, i.e., 60°≤a≤80°. For example, it can be 60°, 70°, 75°, 80°, etc.

[0100] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the definition of each angle is the angle corresponding to the first cylindrical assembly 20 when it is stationary.

[0101] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The second connecting member 50 is a suspension spring, and the angle β between the central axis of the suspension spring and the perpendicular plane B of the first cylindrical assembly 20 is 20° to 45°, i.e., 20°≤β≤45°. In this embodiment, the angle β is relatively large, which helps to reduce the installation space occupied by the suspension spring in the height direction. In addition, when the first cylindrical assembly 20 rotates away from the suspension spring, the force exerted by the suspension spring on the first cylindrical assembly 20 has a large component in the horizontal direction, which can effectively reduce the vibration amplitude.

[0102] In some embodiments, the distance from the first axis (which can also be understood as the rotation center of the first connecting member 40) to the reference surface A is greater than the distance from the connection position of the second connecting member 50 and the supporting body 10 to the reference surface A, wherein the reference surface A is a vertical plane passing through the midpoint of the garment processing device in the left-right direction. In embodiments where a second tubular assembly 30 is provided, the reference surface A may also be a vertical plane passing through the axis of the second tubular assembly 30.

[0103] In this embodiment, the first axis is far from the reference plane A. Thus, the direct or indirect connection position between the first connecting member 40 and the bearing body 10 is closer to the left and right edge of the bearing body. The edge provides stronger structural strength and rigidity, reduces vibration amplitude, and helps improve the stability of the clothing processing equipment.

[0104] In some embodiments, the first axis is parallel to the axis of the first tubular assembly 20. The first axis may be substantially parallel to the front-rear direction of the garment handling device.

[0105] In other words, the first cylindrical assembly 20 can rotate around a horizontal axis, making the movement of the first cylindrical assembly 20 more stable and more convenient to absorb the lateral vibration energy of the first cylindrical assembly 20, increasing the vibration reduction effect and improving the overall stability of the clothing processing equipment 1.

[0106] In some embodiments, the garment processing device 1 includes a connecting shaft 60, and a first connecting member 40 is connected to the carrier body 10 via the connecting shaft 60.

[0107] At least one of the first connecting member 40 and the supporting body 10 is provided with a shaft hole, and the connecting shaft 60 passes through the shaft hole so that the first cylinder assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the supporting body 10. The connecting shaft 60 and the shaft hole 40a can rotate relative to each other. It should be noted that the first axis can be the axis of the connecting shaft 60 or the axis of the shaft hole 40a.

[0108] It is understood that at least one of the first connecting member 40 and the supporting body 10 is provided with a shaft hole, and the connecting shaft 60 passes through the shaft hole 40a. Alternatively, the first connecting member 40 may be provided with a shaft hole 40a, one end of the connecting shaft 60 may be fixedly connected to the supporting body 10, and the other end may pass through the shaft hole 40a of the first connecting member 40; alternatively, the supporting body 10 may be provided with a shaft hole 40a, one end of the connecting shaft 60 may be fixedly connected to the first connecting member 40, and the other end may pass through the shaft hole 40a of the supporting body 10; alternatively, both the first connecting member 40 and the supporting body 10 may be provided with a shaft hole 40a, one end of the connecting shaft 60 may pass through the shaft hole 40a of the supporting body 10, and the other end may pass through the shaft hole 40a of the first connecting member 40.

[0109] In some embodiments, the garment processing equipment includes a vibration damping structure 90, which is disposed between the outer peripheral surface of the connecting shaft 60 and the inner surface of the shaft hole 40a. That is, the connecting shaft 60 does not directly contact the hole wall of the shaft hole 40a. The vibration damping structure 90 can isolate the two. On the one hand, it can reduce the friction and wear between the two and increase the stability of the fit between the connecting shaft 60 and the shaft hole 40a. On the other hand, the vibration damping structure 90 can also buffer, dampen and absorb impact, reduce the noise transmitted to the supporting body 10, and increase the operational stability of the garment processing equipment 1.

[0110] Please see Figure 6 Taking the first connecting member 40 having a shaft hole 40a as an example, the vibration damping structure 90 is disposed between the outer peripheral surface of the connecting shaft 60 and the inner surface of the shaft hole 40a.

[0111] The specific construction of the vibration damping structure 90 is not limited; it can be an elastic bushing, a damping ring, etc., and there are no restrictions here.

[0112] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The first cylindrical assembly 20 has a first clothing processing chamber, and the second cylindrical assembly 30 has a second clothing processing chamber, the volume of which is greater than the volume of the first clothing processing chamber.

[0113] In other words, the second tube assembly 30 can hold more clothes, meaning the overall weight of the second tube assembly 30 can be greater than that of the first tube assembly 20.

[0114] Thus, the second cylindrical assembly 30 can handle larger or larger quantities of clothing, such as outerwear, while the first cylindrical assembly 20 can handle smaller or smaller quantities of clothing, such as socks, underwear, or baby clothes.

[0115] In this embodiment, the volume of the second garment processing chamber is larger than that of the first garment processing chamber, and the weight of the second cylindrical assembly 30 located below is heavier, which can facilitate the reduction of the overall center of gravity of the garment processing device 1. Thus, while increasing the stability of the garment processing device 1, the second cylindrical assembly 30 can also offset the vibration from above based on its own weight, thereby increasing the overall balance performance of the garment processing device 1.

[0116] Taking two first drum assemblies 20 as an example, the garment processing device 1 has at least three drum assemblies, and one garment processing device 1 can perform multiple different garment processing activities simultaneously or sequentially. For example, the second drum assembly 30 can perform outerwear washing, and the two first drum assemblies 20 can respectively perform underwear washing and sock washing. Furthermore, the two first drum assemblies 20 are arranged side-by-side with spacing in the left-right direction, which reduces interference and also reduces the height dimension of the garment processing device 1, facilitating the overall balance of the garment processing device 1. The second drum assembly 30 is located below the two first drum assemblies 20; this vertical stacking design reduces the lateral space of the garment processing device 1, thus making the overall size of the garment processing device 1 more suitable.

[0117] In some implementations, there are two first drum assemblies 20, meaning the garment handling device includes two first drum assemblies 20. These two first drum assemblies 20 can be individually housed in one unit and independently perform zoned washing or drying of various garments. In some other implementations, the aforementioned structure with the two first drum assemblies 20 individually housed in one unit can be stacked on top of a conventional washing machine, dryer, or washer-dryer combo to meet the user's zoned washing needs.

[0118] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In the orthographic projection of a plane perpendicular to the height direction of the garment processing equipment 1, the two first cylindrical components 20 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the central axis of the second cylindrical component 30.

[0119] In other words, when viewed from below along the height of the garment processing device 1, the two first tubular components 20 are mirror-symmetrical about the central axis of the second tubular component 30. That is, if the garment processing device 1 is folded along the central axis of the second tubular component 30, the two first tubular components 20 can completely overlap.

[0120] In this embodiment, on the one hand, the symmetrical arrangement helps to make the entire garment processing equipment 1 more stable during operation, and when one or both of the two first cylinder components 20 work at the same time, the power of the two first cylinder components 20 can be more balanced; on the other hand, the symmetrical arrangement can also make the layout more reasonable and increase the aesthetic appeal.

[0121] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The garment processing equipment 1 includes multiple second elastic elements 70, which connect the second cylindrical assembly 30 to the supporting body 10.

[0122] It is understood that the location of the second elastic element 70 is not limited. The second elastic element 70 can be located on the front side of the first cylindrical assembly 20; the second elastic element 70 can also be located on the rear side of the first cylindrical assembly 20.

[0123] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 3 The axial length of the first cylindrical assembly 20 is less than the axial length of the second cylindrical assembly 30, and at least a portion of the second elastic member 70 is located on the rear side of the first cylindrical assembly 20.

[0124] In this embodiment, the space behind the first cylindrical assembly 20 can be used to install the second elastic member 70. The entire or part of the structure of the second elastic member 70 can be set on the rear side of the first cylindrical assembly 20. On the one hand, it is convenient to hide the entire or part of the structure of the second elastic member 70 on the rear side of the first cylindrical assembly 20. On the other hand, it can also reduce the probability of installation interference between the second elastic member 70 and the first cylindrical assembly 20, making the overall layout of the clothing processing device 1 more reliable.

[0125] In some embodiments, the projection of the second elastic element 70 and the projection of the first tube assembly 20 do not overlap in the orthographic projection of a plane perpendicular to the height direction of the garment processing device 1.

[0126] In other words, when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the height of the garment processing device 1, the projection of the second elastic element 70 does not intersect with the projection of the first cylindrical assembly 20. The second elastic element 70 is located outside the projection of the first cylindrical assembly 20. This further reduces the probability of interference between the second elastic element 70 and the first cylindrical assembly 20, and increases the installation reliability of the second elastic element 70.

[0127] It is understood that, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The garment processing equipment 1 may include a vibration damping component 80, one end of which is connected to the second cylinder assembly 30 and the other end is connected to the supporting body 10 to support the second cylinder assembly 30.

[0128] The vibration damping component 80 is a component used to absorb and reduce vibration. The vibration damping component 80 can connect the second cylinder assembly 30 to the supporting body 10, so that the supporting body 10 can support the second cylinder assembly 30 through the vibration damping component 80. The vibration damping component 80 can effectively absorb and disperse the vibration from the second cylinder assembly 30, so that the clothing processing equipment 1 can operate more smoothly.

[0129] In the embodiment where the second elastic element 70 is provided, the vibration damping component 80 can further increase the installation stability of the second cylinder assembly 30, reduce the operating vibration of the second cylinder assembly 30, facilitate dynamic balance, and increase the long-term operating stability of the clothing processing equipment 1.

[0130] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The supporting body 10 includes a top support 101 and two first side supports 102 spaced apart in the left and right directions of the clothing processing equipment. The two first side supports 102 are connected to the opposite ends of the top support 101. The top support 101 and the two first side supports 102 enclose a first installation space 10a.

[0131] For example, one of the first side supports 102 may be located to the left of the top support 101, and the other first side support 102 may be located to the right of the top support 101.

[0132] Here, the top support 101 and the two first side supports 102 have a certain structural strength and can play a load-bearing role.

[0133] In some embodiments, the first connecting member 40 is closer to the first side support 102 than the second connecting member 50. For example, for the upper left first cylindrical assembly 20, of the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 connected to the upper left first cylindrical assembly 20, the first connecting member 40 is closer to the left side support 102 than the second connecting member 50. For the upper right first cylindrical assembly 20, of the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 connected to the upper right first cylindrical assembly 20, the first connecting member 40 is closer to the right side support 102 than the second connecting member 50.

[0134] In this embodiment, the first connecting member 40 is located relatively close to the left-right edge of the supporting body 10. The edge provides stronger structural strength and rigidity, reduces vibration amplitude, and improves the stability of the garment processing equipment. Furthermore, since the first connecting member 40 is located relatively close to the left-right edge of the supporting body 10, the first axis is also close to the left-right edge of the supporting body 10, thus fully utilizing the space at the left-right edge of the supporting body 10.

[0135] In some embodiments, the end of the first connecting member 40 away from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is connected to the top support 101 or the first side support 102 via the connecting shaft 60; and / or, the end of the second connecting member 50 away from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is connected to the top support 101 or the first side support 102.

[0136] It should be noted that the above can include several situations. First: Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 In the first configuration, the end of the first connecting member 40 furthest from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is connected to the top support 101 via a connecting shaft 60, and the end of the second connecting member 50 furthest from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is also connected to the top support 101. In the second configuration, the end of the first connecting member 40 furthest from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is connected to the top support 101 via a connecting shaft 60, and the end of the second connecting member 50 furthest from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is connected to the first side support 102. In the third configuration, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 5 The end of the first connecting member 40 away from the first cylinder assembly 20 is connected to the first side support 102 via the connecting shaft 60, and the end of the second connecting member 50 away from the first cylinder assembly 20 is connected to the top support 101.

[0137] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The connecting shaft 60 is located at the corner formed by the top support 101 and the first side support 102.

[0138] The corner formed by the top support 101 and the first side support 102 has greater rigidity and structural strength, thus providing stronger support and stability. This facilitates better distribution of the gravity and rotational inertia force of the first cylindrical assembly 20, effectively resisting the eccentric force or inertial torque generated when the first cylindrical assembly 20 rotates. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the connecting shaft 60 can be disposed on either the top support 101 or the first side support 102.

[0139] Furthermore, the area near the top corner of the first installation space can be fully utilized. See details below. Figure 1 The motion trajectory of the center of the first cylindrical assembly 20 is referenced. Figure 1 The arc-shaped dashed line D in the figure has a large space near the top corner, which makes the distance between the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the first side support 102 large, and the distance between the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the top support 101 large, thus providing sufficient safety distance. In addition, the first cylindrical assembly 20 will not move towards the center of the second cylindrical assembly 30. Therefore, a relatively small safety distance can be maintained between the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the second cylindrical assembly 30, which further contributes to the compact structure of the garment processing equipment.

[0140] It should be noted that for the same first cylindrical assembly 20, the number of first connecting members 40 can be one or more. "Multiple" here refers to no fewer than two. In embodiments where the number of first connecting members 40 is multiple, all first connecting members 40 are arranged coaxially.

[0141] For the same first cylindrical assembly 20, the number of second connecting members 50 can be one or more.

[0142] In some embodiments, the first side support 102 includes side plates. The top support 101 includes a top cover 1011 disposed at the top of the two side plates.

[0143] In some embodiments, the end of the first connecting member 40 away from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is connected to the top cover 1011 via a connecting shaft 60. And / or, the end of the second connecting member 50 away from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is connected to the top cover 1011. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the top support 101 may include the support beam 1012 described below, or it may not be provided. In this embodiment, the top cover 1011 directly bears the weight of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and its load. As a load-bearing component, the top cover 1011 has sufficient structural strength to increase the installation stability of the first cylindrical assembly 20.

[0144] In other embodiments, the top support 101 further includes a support beam 1012, the two ends of which are connected to the top ends of the two side plates, and the support beam 1012 is located on the bottom side of the top cover 1011.

[0145] The end of the first connecting member 40 away from the first cylinder assembly 20 is connected to the support beam 1012 via a connecting shaft 60. The end of the second connecting member 50 away from the first cylinder assembly 20 is also connected to the support beam 1012.

[0146] In this embodiment, the support beam 1012 directly bears the weight of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and its load. As a load-bearing component, the support beam 1012 can increase the structural strength of the main body 10 and reduce the load pressure on the top cover 1011, thereby increasing the installation stability of the first cylindrical assembly 20.

[0147] For example, the support beam 1012 can be made of metal to provide sufficient structural strength. Of course, the support beam 1012 can also be made of plastic, as long as the structural strength meets the requirements. It should be noted that metal parts can be added to the injection-molded part to enhance the structural strength.

[0148] In some embodiments, the end of the first connecting member 40 away from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is connected to the support beam 1012 via a connecting shaft 60, and the end of the second connecting member 50 away from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is connected to the support beam 1012, so that the multiple first cylindrical assemblies 20, the first connecting member 40, and the support beam 1012 form a pre-assembled whole, and the pre-assembled whole is detachably connected to the side plate via the support beam 1012.

[0149] In this embodiment, during the assembly process, multiple first cylinder components 20, first connecting components 40, and support beams 1012 can be pre-assembled into a whole, and then the pre-assembled whole can be connected to the side plate together. This is conducive to modular design and modular assembly, and improves the assembly efficiency of the production line.

[0150] The following is a brief description of five specific embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0151] For the first embodiment, please refer to... Figure 1 The top support 101 includes a top cover 1011 and a support beam 1012. The end of the first connecting member 40 away from the first cylinder assembly 20 is connected to the support beam 1012 via a connecting shaft 60, and the end of the second connecting member 50 away from the first cylinder assembly 20 is connected to the support beam 1012.

[0152] For the second embodiment, please refer to... Figure 2 The second embodiment has a structure that is largely the same as the first embodiment, except that the second elastic member 70 is disposed on the rear side of the first cylindrical assembly 20.

[0153] Third embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The top support 101 includes a top cover 1011 and a support beam 1012. The end of the first connecting member 40 away from the first cylinder assembly 20 is connected to the first side support 102 via a connecting shaft 60, and the end of the second connecting member 50 away from the first cylinder assembly 20 is connected to the support beam 1012.

[0154] For the fourth embodiment, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The top support 101 includes a top cover 1011 and does not have a support beam 1012. The end of the first connecting member 40 away from the first cylinder assembly 20 is connected to the top cover 1011 via a connecting shaft 60, and the end of the second connecting member 50 away from the first cylinder assembly 20 is connected to the top cover 1011.

[0155] For the fifth embodiment, please refer to... Figure 5 The top support 101 includes a top cover 1011 and does not have a support beam 1012. The end of the first connecting member 40 away from the first cylinder assembly 20 is connected to the first side support 102 via a connecting shaft 60, and the end of the second connecting member 50 away from the first cylinder assembly 20 is connected to the top cover 1011.

[0156] In some embodiments, the supporting body 10 includes a box and a support frame. The support frame is disposed inside the box. Two first side supports 102 are components of the support frame. The space enclosed by the support frame includes a first installation space 10a and a second installation space. The first installation space 10a and the second installation space are arranged along the height direction. The clothing processing device 1 also includes a third cylinder assembly, which is disposed in the second installation space.

[0157] It is understood that in this embodiment, the box body only serves as an external component of the clothing processing equipment 1. The box body may not bear any load, that is, the box body may not bear the load weight, which is supported by the support frame. The support frame has sufficient strength, and the box body may be made of thin plates to reduce the structural strength requirements of the box body.

[0158] The first cylindrical assembly 20, the second cylindrical assembly 30, and the third cylindrical assembly facilitate the implementation of various garment processing functions. The support frame bears the weight of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and its load, and / or the second cylindrical assembly 30 and its load, and / or the third cylindrical assembly and its load, thereby increasing the structural stability of the garment processing equipment 1.

[0159] The first installation space 10a can be located above or below the second installation space; there is no restriction on this.

[0160] For example, the first mounting space 10a is disposed above the second mounting space, and the third cylinder assembly is disposed below the second cylinder assembly 30.

[0161] It is understood that the two first drum assemblies 20, the second drum assembly 30, and the third drum assembly can further realize the stand-alone functionality of the clothing processing equipment 1. For example, the two first drum assemblies 20 and the second drum assembly 30 can realize the partitioned washing of different types of clothing, and the third drum assembly can realize the drying of clothing.

[0162] For example, the supporting body 10 may include a partition structure that divides the space enclosed by the support frame into a first installation space 10a and a second installation space. The partition structure can also serve as a load-bearing component, supporting the weight of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and its load, and / or the second cylindrical assembly 30 and its load, and / or the third cylindrical assembly and its load, thereby increasing the structural stability of the garment processing equipment 1.

[0163] The supporting frame and partition structure may include multiple beams, columns, and other structures with sufficient structural strength.
