Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a synchronous belt cross module and a clothing care device. Background Technology

[0002] Garment steamers and garment care machines are common household appliances that primarily use steaming to remove wrinkles from clothes, improving their smoothness and cleanliness. Their convenience and efficiency have won them widespread popularity. However, current technologies still have many shortcomings in achieving the desired smoothness of ironed garments.

[0003] Early technical solutions, such as patent CN86104511A filed in 1986 by an Australian automatic ironing machinery company, proposed an automatic ironing machine. This machine included an ironing zone for receiving clothes to be ironed and integrated multiple devices for heating, pressurizing, steaming, and flattening on a shuttle. This design integrated flattening, steaming, heating, and pressurizing modules onto a movable shuttle. While this streamlined operation improved efficiency, the flattening component, being tightly integrated with the ironing mechanism, limited the adjustment of its flattening force and position. Furthermore, the flattening component smoothed the clothes by rotating, failing to apply tension to the clothes and thus unable to provide precise care for clothes of different materials and thicknesses, resulting in inconsistent ironing results. In addition, in this prior art, the flattening device moved together with the heating and steaming devices, occupying a large space and preventing the flattening of specific areas of the clothes.

[0004] Current technology still has many shortcomings in terms of the smoothness of ironed clothes, mainly manifested in the following ways:

[0005] Due to the integrated design of the flattening components and ironing mechanism, the care methods for the clamping points and flattened areas cannot be flexibly adjusted. When dealing with garments with different care requirements, the garment flattening method is relatively simple and cannot provide customized care.

[0006] Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a synchronous belt cross module and garment care device that can flexibly adjust the clamping force and position and provide uniform and stable clamping force. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a synchronous belt cross module and garment care device to solve the problem of poor flexibility in adjusting the care position and movement of care devices (such as flattening devices, ironing devices, etc.) in the prior art.

[0042] The inventive concepts of this disclosure will be described below using terminology commonly used by those skilled in the art to communicate the essence of their work to others skilled in the art. However, these inventive concepts may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0043] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0044] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0045] To address the problem of poor flexibility in adjusting the position and movement of garment care devices (such as flattening devices and ironing devices) in existing technologies, this embodiment proposes a synchronous belt cross module and a garment care device, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1-13 As shown, the synchronous belt cross module includes:

[0046] The vertical rail assembly 1 is provided with a first synchronous belt 13 and a first slider 12, wherein the first slider 12 is connected to the first synchronous belt 13;

[0047] The horizontal rail assembly 2 is connected to the first slider 12, allowing the horizontal rail assembly 2 to move relative to the vertical rail assembly 1. The horizontal rail assembly 2 is provided with a second synchronous belt 26 and a slider structure, the slider structure being connected to the second synchronous belt 26. Furthermore, the slider structure can be connected to the garment care assembly 4.

[0048] Therefore, if the synchronous belt cross module of this application is used in a garment care device, the care position and movement of the care device (such as garment care component 4) can be adjusted more flexibly, which helps to improve the efficiency and effect of garment care.

[0049] Preferably, the vertical rail assembly 1 and the horizontal rail assembly 2 are arranged perpendicularly to each other.

[0050] For the horizontal rail assembly 2, the horizontal rail assembly 2 is provided with a pressure block structure, the pressure block structure is engaged with the second synchronous belt 26, and the slider structure is connected to the pressure block structure; specifically, the pressure block structure is provided with a groove 201, the groove 201 is engaged with the second synchronous belt 26, the slider structure is provided with an assembly hole, and the pressure block structure is disposed in the assembly hole.

[0051] Preferably, the slider structure is provided with two assembly holes at different spatial positions, referred to as the first assembly hole 203 and the second assembly hole 204 respectively. The pressure block structure is provided in the first assembly hole 203 or the second assembly hole 204. Correspondingly, the assembly hole without the pressure block structure can spatially avoid the second synchronous belt 26, thus preventing unnecessary spatial interference between the second synchronous belt 26 and the pressure block structure.

[0052] The slider structure is provided with an extension arm 205, which extends away from the vertical rail assembly 1. A connecting part 3 is provided between the extension arm 205 and the garment care assembly 4, and the connecting part 3 is connected to both the extension arm 205 and the garment care assembly 4. Thus, through the extension of the extension arm 205 and the extension connection of the connecting part 3, a certain safe protective distance is maintained between the transmission structure in the vertical rail assembly 1 and the horizontal rail assembly 2 and the garment care assembly 4 and the garment, preventing mechanical oil from splashing onto the garment and causing contamination, or preventing the garment from being caught in the mechanical transmission process and causing damage.

[0053] Furthermore, a baffle plate 14 is provided on the side of the vertical rail assembly 1 near the horizontal rail assembly 2. The horizontal rail assembly 2 has a housing structure. Correspondingly, the main bodies of the second synchronous belt 26, the pressure block structure, and the slider structure are all housed within the housing structure. The extension arm 205 is located at the bottom of the slider structure. A clearance opening is provided at the bottom of the housing structure, and the extension arm 205 can penetrate through the clearance opening and extend away from the vertical rail assembly 1. Thus, the baffle plate 14, the housing structure, and the extension arm 205 extending from the bottom of the housing structure greatly improve the protective effect, further preventing mechanical oil from splashing onto clothing and causing contamination, or clothing from being caught in the mechanical transmission process and causing damage.

[0054] The horizontal rail assembly 2 is provided with a guide rod 25, and the slider structure is provided with a guide hole 202. The guide rod 25 is disposed in the guide hole 202, allowing the slider structure to move along the guide rod 25, thereby improving the smoothness of movement of the slider structure and the garment care component 4 connected to the slider structure, and preventing the slider structure from deflecting during movement. The horizontal rail assembly 2 includes two end pieces 27. The second synchronous belt 26, the pressure block structure, the slider structure, and the guide rod 25 are all disposed between these two end pieces 27. One end of the guide rod 25 is connected to one end piece 27, and the other end is connected to the other end piece 27.

[0055] Preferably, the horizontal rail assembly 2 is provided with two pressure block structures, denoted as the second pressure block 21 and the third pressure block 22, respectively. The specific structures of both are the same as those described above and will not be repeated. The horizontal rail assembly 2 is also provided with two slider structures, denoted as the second slider 23 and the third slider 24, respectively. The specific structures of both are the same as those described above and will not be repeated. The second slider 23 is connected to the second pressure block 21, and the third slider 24 is connected to the third pressure block 22. The movement directions of the second slider 23 and the third slider 24 are opposite. Thus, by providing two slider structures, at least one of the functional components—the ironing plate assembly, the flattening assembly, and the measuring assembly—can be connected, enabling the functional components to move closer to or further away from the clothing, move up and down relative to the clothing, and perform various other movements to collaboratively complete the work, achieving simultaneous care of both the front and back of the clothing, greatly improving clothing care efficiency. Furthermore, the clamping force and position can be flexibly adjusted to provide a uniform and stable clamping force to the clothing.

[0056] The second pressure block 21 is disposed in the first mounting hole 203 of the second slider 23, and the third pressure block 22 is disposed in the second mounting hole 204 of the third slider 24. Thus, with the operation of the annular second synchronous belt 26, the movement directions of the second slider 23 and the third slider 24 can be easily and conveniently reversed. Correspondingly, for the operation of the second synchronous belt 26, the horizontal rail assembly 2 includes a horizontal rail motor 28, a driving side wheel 206, and a driven side wheel 207. The horizontal rail motor 28 is connected to the driving side wheel 206, and the second synchronous belt 26 meshes with both the driving side wheel 206 and the driven side wheel 207. The second synchronous belt 26 can be a closed synchronous belt, that is, a ring-shaped conveyor belt fitted onto the driving side wheel 206 and the driven side wheel 207.

[0057] It should be noted that in the scenario where the horizontal rail components 2 are arranged oppositely (i.e., based on the fact that a vertical rail component 1 is arranged on the left and right sides of the garment care device, one horizontal rail component 2 is arranged on the left vertical rail component 1, and the other corresponding horizontal rail component 2 is arranged on the right vertical rail component 1, and the two corresponding horizontal rail components 2 form an opposing arrangement), the operation of the opposing second synchronous belts 26 can be driven by the horizontal rail motors 28 respectively on the opposing second synchronous belts 26, or one horizontal rail motor 28 can be arranged to cooperate with the second synchronous shaft 29. In this case, the horizontal rail motor 28 is connected to the second synchronous shaft 29, and the two opposing active side wheels 206 are connected to the second synchronous shaft 29. It can also be said that the horizontal rail motor 28 is connected to the two opposing active side wheels 206 respectively through the second synchronous shaft 29, thereby achieving connection and synchronous transmission by setting the second synchronous shaft 29, so that the opposing second synchronous belts 26 can move smoothly and synchronously.

[0058] Furthermore, to reduce heat generation in the control chip and improve reliability, a reduction mechanism can be provided between the horizontal rail motor 28 and the drive wheel 206, or between the horizontal rail motor 28 and the second synchronous shaft 29, or between the second synchronous shaft 29 and the drive wheel 206. The transmission ratio of the reduction mechanism can be configured to 1.2-5.5, thereby reducing the torque required by the horizontal rail motor 28, thus reducing the current of the horizontal rail motor 28 and lowering the output shaft speed of the horizontal rail motor 28 to 250-300 RPM, which still meets the usage requirements. At the same time, the reduced current of the horizontal rail motor 28 reduces heat generation in the control chip, improving reliability.

[0059] To ensure that the second synchronous belt 26 can provide sufficient travel distance between the driving side wheel 206 and the driven side wheel 207, while taking into account the application requirements such as the stability, strength and anti-loosening of the second synchronous belt 26, the number of pressure teeth between any of the pressure block structures (second pressure block 21 or third pressure block 22) and the second synchronous belt 26 is 2-10.

[0060] The horizontal rail assembly 2 has a horizontal rail bearing 271 at the end near the driven side wheel 207. The horizontal rail bearing 271 is connected to the end piece 27 near the driven side wheel 207. The driven side wheel 207 has a second wheel axle 208. The wheel body of the driven side wheel 207 rotates around the second wheel axle 208 and can rotate relative to the second wheel axle 208. The second wheel axle 208 is connected to the horizontal rail bearing 271 in a way that allows adjustment of the distance between the driving side wheel 206 and the driven side wheel 207. By setting the horizontal rail bearing 271, the driven side wheel 207 is connected to the horizontal rail bearing 271 through its second wheel axle 208, and the distance between the driving side wheel 206 and the driven side wheel 207 can be adjusted to adjust the tension of the second synchronous belt 26 accordingly. After long-term operation, the tension can be adjusted and maintained within a preset range to ensure the reliability of power transmission and reduce noise.

[0061] Specifically, the second wheel axle 208 is connected to the transverse rail axle seat 271 by fasteners. Simultaneously, as some threads of the fastener are screwed in or unscrewed, the distance between the driven wheel 207 and the driving wheel 206 can be adjusted. (See attached image) Figure 13 As shown, the horizontal rail bearing 271 is provided with mounting holes, and the second wheel axle 208 is provided with adjustment holes. The two correspond to each other and are connected by fasteners. At the same time, by adjusting the screwing in and out of the fasteners, the distance between the driven side wheel 207 and the driving side wheel 206 can be adjusted.

[0062] For the components in the vertical rail assembly 1, the vertical rail assembly 1 is provided with a first pressure block 11, which is engaged with a first synchronous belt 13, and a first slider 12 is connected to the first pressure block 11; specifically, the first pressure block 11 is provided with a tape slot 111, which is engaged with the first synchronous belt 13. The first slider 12 is provided with a connecting part 122, and the first pressure block 11 is connected to the connecting part 122.

[0063] A baffle plate 14 is also provided between the vertical rail assembly 1 and the horizontal rail assembly 2. Specifically, the baffle plate 14 is located between the first synchronous belt 13 and the horizontal rail assembly 2, which can prevent mechanical oil from splashing onto the clothes and causing them to become contaminated, or prevent the clothes from being caught in the mechanical transmission process and causing them to be damaged.

[0064] Furthermore, the baffle plate 14 of the vertical rail assembly 1 is provided with a guide rod 15 on the side facing the first slider 12. The first slider 12 is provided with a guide roller 121, and the first slider 12 can move along the guide rod 15 via the guide roller 121. Specifically, the vertical rail assembly 1 is provided with two guide rods 15. For any one guide rod 15, the first slider 12 is provided with at least one guide roller 121. The distance between the at least one guide roller 121 of the first slider 12 and the guide rod 15 can be adjusted. By adjusting the corresponding distance, each guide rod 15 has a guide roller 121 that is in contact with it, preventing the guide rod 15 on either side from disengaging from the guide roller 121. The distance between the guide roller 121 and the guide rod 15 can be adjusted by an eccentric wheel, or other structural designs that can adjust the guide roller 121 can be adopted.

[0065] For the operation of the first synchronous belt 13, the vertical rail assembly 1 includes a vertical rail motor, a driving wheel 17, and a driven wheel 16. The vertical rail motor is connected to the driving wheel 17, and the first synchronous belt 13 is engaged with the driving wheel 17 and the driven wheel 16 respectively. The driving wheel 17 is located at one end of the vertical rail assembly 1, and the driven wheel 16 is located at the other end of the vertical rail assembly 1.

[0066] It should be noted that in the scenario where the vertical rail components 1 are arranged oppositely, for the operation of the opposite first synchronous belts 13, corresponding vertical rail motors can be set to drive the corresponding drive wheels 17. The two opposite first synchronous belts 13 can also be driven by the same vertical rail motor and synchronously transmitted through the first synchronous shaft 18. Specifically, the vertical rail motor is connected to the first synchronous shaft 18, and the two opposite drive wheels 17 are connected through the first synchronous shaft 18. It can also be said that the vertical rail motor is connected to the two opposite drive wheels 17 through the first synchronous shaft 18, so that the two opposite first synchronous belts 13 can move synchronously and smoothly under the drive of the same vertical rail motor and the transmission of the first synchronous shaft 18.

[0067] Furthermore, to reduce heat generation in the control chip and improve reliability, a reduction gear structure can be provided between the vertical rail motor and the drive wheel 17, or between the vertical rail motor and the first synchronous shaft 18, or between the first synchronous shaft 18 and the drive wheel 17. The transmission ratio of this reduction gear structure is 1.2-5.5, which reduces the torque required by the vertical rail motor, thereby reducing the current of the vertical rail motor and lowering the output shaft speed to 250-300 RPM, meeting usage requirements. Simultaneously, the reduced current of the vertical rail motor decreases heat generation in the control chip, improving reliability.

[0068] In this application, the first synchronous belt 13 is preferably an open conveyor belt, that is, the first synchronous belt 13 is a strip-shaped conveyor belt with two ends, which wraps around the driving pulley 17 and the driven pulley 16, and then is connected to both ends of the conveyor belt (i.e., the first synchronous belt 13) by the first pressure block 11. In order to ensure that the first synchronous belt 13 can provide sufficient movement distance between the driving pulley 17 and the driven pulley 16, while taking into account the application requirements such as stability, strength and anti-loosening of the first synchronous belt 13, the number of pressure teeth between the first pressure block 11 and any end of the first synchronous belt 13 is 2-10 teeth.

[0069] The vertical rail assembly 1 has a vertical rail bearing seat 19 at the end near the driven wheel 16. The driven wheel 16 has a first wheel axle 161. The wheel body of the driven wheel 16 rotates around the first wheel axle 161 and can rotate relative to the first wheel axle 161. The first wheel axle 161 is connected to the vertical rail bearing seat 19 in a way that allows adjustment of the distance between the driving wheel 17 and the driven wheel 16. Thus, by setting the vertical rail bearing seat 19, the driven wheel 16 is connected to the vertical rail bearing seat 19 through its first wheel axle 161, and the distance between the driving wheel 17 and the driven wheel 16 can be adjusted to adjust the tension of the first synchronous belt 13 accordingly. After long-term operation, the tension can be adjusted and maintained within a preset range to ensure the reliability of power transmission and reduce noise.

[0070] Specifically, the first wheel axle 161 is connected to the vertical rail axle seat 19 by fasteners. Simultaneously, as some threads of the fastener are screwed in or unscrewed, the distance between the driven wheel 16 and the driving wheel 17 can be adjusted. (See attached image) Figure 9 As shown, the vertical rail bearing 19 has an assembly cavity, and the driven wheel 16 is disposed in the assembly cavity. In the axial direction of the driven wheel 16, both sides of the assembly cavity are provided with adjustment flat holes 191. The first wheel axle 161 passes through the adjustment flat hole 191. The adjustment flat hole 191 is provided with a mounting hole at least on the side away from the driving wheel 17. The first wheel axle 161 is provided with a corresponding adjustment hole. The two are connected by fasteners. At the same time, by adjusting the screwing in and out of the fasteners, the distance between the driven wheel 16 and the driving wheel 17 can be adjusted.

[0071] To enable the synchronous belt cross module to simultaneously house at least two functional components, including an ironing plate assembly, a flattening assembly, and a measuring assembly, the vertical rail assembly 1 includes a third synchronous belt 6, a fourth pressure block 7, and a fourth slider 8. The fourth pressure block 7 is engaged with the third synchronous belt 6, and the fourth slider 8 is connected to the fourth pressure block 7. The synchronous belt cross module includes a second horizontal rail assembly 5, which is connected to the fourth slider 8, allowing the second horizontal rail assembly 5 to move relative to the vertical rail assembly 1. The assembly configuration of the third synchronous belt 6 on the vertical rail assembly 1 is the same as that of the first synchronous belt 13; both belong to two simultaneously installed synchronous belt systems. The specific structure of the second horizontal rail assembly 5 is the same as that of the horizontal rail assembly 2, and will not be described in detail. Thus, by setting the second horizontal rail assembly 5 and its corresponding transmission components, the synchronous belt cross module can simultaneously house two sets of garment care components 4, simultaneously realizing at least two functions, including ironing, clamping and flattening, and measuring.

[0072] The specific structure of the fourth pressure block 7 is the same as that of the first pressure block 11, and will not be described in detail. The fourth slider 8 is also provided with a guide roller 121, so that the fourth slider 8 can move along the guide rod 15 via the guide roller 121.

[0073] Preferably, the third synchronous belt 6 is positioned outside the vertical rail assembly 1 and is in the same vertical plane as the first synchronous belt 13 to avoid spatial interference between different transmission components. Correspondingly, the fourth slider 8 is provided with an outward extension arm 123, and the fourth pressure block 7 is connected to the outward extension arm 123. Alternatively, the first slider 12 can also be provided with an outward extension arm 123, making the structures of the first slider 12 and the fourth slider 8 identical, differing only in the connection position between the corresponding pressure block structure and the slider structure. Typically, the outward extension arm 123 of the first slider 12 allows for spatial clearance of the third synchronous belt 6. The portion of the fourth slider 8 other than the outward extension arm 123 allows for spatial clearance of the first synchronous belt 13.

[0074] During operation, it was found that the timing belts (first timing belt 13 and / or third timing belt 6) on the current vertical rail assembly 1 cooperate with the sliders (first slider 12 and / or fourth slider 8). Under gravity, the sliders always exert a unidirectional tension on the timing belts. When the sliders move upward, the tension on the timing belts increases; when the sliders move downward, due to the large counterweight of the sliders, the tension on the timing belts decreases or even reverses. This leads to the risk that the timing belts may become partially loose or detach from the pulley grooves (the pulley grooves are located on the driving and driven pulleys). Furthermore, the timing belts may elongate after long-term use, resulting in tension attenuation and affecting the normal operation of the garment care machine.

[0075] To address the aforementioned issues, a tensioning device 900 is provided on the vertical rail assembly 1. The tensioning device 900 includes a first tensioning group and / or a second tensioning group. The first tensioning group cooperates with the first synchronous belt 13 to tension the first synchronous belt 13, and the second tensioning group cooperates with the third synchronous belt 6 to tension the third synchronous belt 6. Preferably, the tensioning device 900 can dynamically tension the first synchronous belt 13 and / or the third synchronous belt 6, thereby ensuring that the first synchronous belt 13 and / or the third synchronous belt 6 maintain optimal tension throughout the garment care machine's operation. This prevents the synchronous belts from slackening or dislodging from the pulley grooves and reduces noise during operation, allowing the garment care machine to maintain normal operation for extended periods and improving the user experience.

[0076] Specifically, the tensioning device 900 is located near one end of the first synchronous belt 13 and / or the third synchronous belt 6. Preferably, the tensioning device 900 is located near one end of the drive pulley 17.

[0077] Specifically, the first tensioning group and the second tensioning group each include at least one idler pulley assembly 910 and a tensioning assembly 920. The idler pulley assembly 910 contacts the first synchronous belt 13 or the third synchronous belt 6 to optimize the wrap angle of the first synchronous belt 13 or the third synchronous belt 6. The tensioning assembly 920 contacts the first synchronous belt 13 or the third synchronous belt 6 in the opposite direction and applies pressure to the contacted first synchronous belt 13 or the third synchronous belt 6 to keep the first synchronous belt 13 or the third synchronous belt 6 in a taut state. Preferably, the idler pulley assembly 910 contacts the inner side of the synchronous belt to provide corresponding support force and prevent axial displacement of the transmission belt. The tensioning assembly 920 contacts the outer side of the synchronous belt and applies inward pressure to the synchronous belt. Moreover, the tensioning assembly 920 moves inward synchronously when the synchronous belt becomes loose, so that the synchronous belt always remains taut, ensuring the normal operation of the garment care machine. It should be understood that, in the vertical direction, the idler pulley assembly 910 and the tensioning assembly 920 are offset to dynamically change the distance between them when the timing belt becomes loose, ensuring that the timing belt is always under tension. Furthermore, the arrangement of the idler pulley assembly 910 and the tensioning assembly 920 significantly increases the effective contact area of ​​the timing belt, thereby reducing abnormal noise caused by vibration during operation and improving the user experience.

[0078] Optionally, the idler assembly 910 includes an idler wheel 911, or the idler assembly 910 includes an idler wheel 911 and an idler wheel bracket 912, the idler wheel bracket 912 being connected to the vertical rail assembly 1 to support the idler wheel 911. It should be understood that since the third synchronous belt 6 is located outside the vertical rail assembly 1, the idler wheel 911 must be installed inside it via the idler wheel bracket 912. Therefore, the idler assembly 910 corresponding to the third synchronous belt 6 includes both the idler wheel 911 and the idler wheel bracket 912. The first synchronous belt 13 is located inside the vertical rail assembly 1, and its corresponding idler assembly 910 may include only the idler wheel 911, or it may include both the idler wheel 911 and the idler wheel bracket 912.

[0079] Specifically, the tensioning assembly 920 includes a tensioning swing arm bracket 921, a tensioning wheel 922, and a spring structure 923. The tensioning wheel 922 is disposed at the first end of the tensioning swing arm bracket 921, and the second end of the tensioning swing arm bracket 921 is rotatably connected to the vertical rail assembly 1. The first end of the spring structure 923 is connected to the first end of the tensioning swing arm bracket 921, or the first end of the spring structure 923 is connected to the tensioning wheel 922, and the second end of the spring structure 923 is connected to the vertical rail assembly 1. Under the action of the spring structure 923, the tensioning wheel 922 applies pressure to the first synchronous belt 13 or the third synchronous belt 6. It should be understood that the spring structure 923 is in a pre-compressed or pre-stretched state, thereby applying force to the tensioning wheel 922, which in turn acts on the synchronous belt. Since the second end of the tensioning swing arm bracket 921 is rotatably connected to the vertical rail assembly 1, the tensioning wheel 922 can move under the action of the spring structure 923 when the synchronous belt becomes loose, keeping the tensioning wheel 922 in contact with the synchronous belt and applying pressure, thus maintaining the reference tension of the synchronous belt and achieving dynamic adjustment of the synchronous belt tension. The choice between pre-compressed and pre-stretched spring structure 923 can be adjusted according to the setting position of its second end, and will not be elaborated further. Preferably, the second end of the tensioning swing arm bracket 921 is hinged to the vertical rail assembly 1.

[0080] By setting the tensioning device 900, the wrap angle of the synchronous belt can be optimized, preventing axial displacement of the synchronous belt. Under normal operation of the synchronous belt, the contact area can be effectively increased, reducing noise during synchronous belt movement. When the synchronous belt becomes longer, the spring structure 923 drives the tensioning swing arm bracket 921 or the tensioning wheel 922 to move, so that the tensioning wheel 922 maintains contact with the synchronous belt, thereby automatically compensating for changes in the length of the synchronous belt, maintaining the reference tension of the synchronous belt, and realizing dynamic adjustment of the tension state of the synchronous belt. This allows the garment care machine to maintain normal operation and improves the user experience.

[0081] This embodiment also proposes a garment care device, as shown in the attached document. Figure 1-13 As shown, the garment care device includes:

[0082] The housing assembly includes a housing shell, within which a care cavity is formed;

[0083] The track assembly includes a set of opposing synchronous belt cross modules;

[0084] A suspension device, located inside the nursing cavity near the top, is used to hang clothing;

[0085] The garment care component 4 is capable of moving up and down, moving closer to the garment, or moving away from the garment along the track component.

[0086] The opposing set of synchronous belt cross modules can be understood as two synchronous belt cross modules arranged on the left and right sides of the garment care device, with identical transmission component configurations. To ensure that their movements are also identical (i.e., "synchronized"), in this application, the two opposing first synchronous belt cross modules are driven by the same motor, and correspondingly, the two opposing drive wheels 17 are connected by a first synchronous shaft 18. Driven by the same motor, the two opposing first synchronous belts 13 move synchronously, thereby enabling the two opposing horizontal rail assemblies 2 to move smoothly and synchronously. The same applies to the two opposing third synchronous belts 6, which will not be elaborated further.

[0087] For the transmission components in the horizontal rail assembly 2, as shown in the attached... Figure 12 As shown, the two opposing second synchronous belts 26 are driven by the same horizontal rail motor 28, and are connected and transmitted through a second synchronous shaft 29, so that the garment care assembly 4 can move smoothly.

[0088] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
