[0001] Cross-reference to related applications
[0002] This application is based on and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202510099391.5, filed on January 21, 2025, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] This application relates to the field of clothing processing technology, and more particularly to a clothing processing device. Background Technology
[0004] Taking a pulsator-type garment processing equipment as an example, with the external dimensions of the cabinet remaining unchanged, as the washing volume increases, the gap between the drum assembly and the cabinet becomes smaller and smaller. During the washing or spin-drying process, the drum assembly will vibrate and sway, and is prone to impacting the cabinet, affecting the safety of the garment processing equipment. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present application aims to provide a garment processing device that helps to reduce the vibration of the drum assembly, reduce the probability of the drum assembly hitting the box, and thus reduce the overall noise of the machine.
[0006] This application provides a garment processing device, including:
[0007] Box;
[0008] The barrel assembly is located inside the box.
[0009] First rod;
[0010] A vibration damping assembly includes a first moving part, a second moving part, and a damping part. The first moving part and the second moving part are rotatably connected and define a first rotation axis. The damping part is disposed at the rotatable connection between the first moving part and the second moving part. The damping part cooperates with the first moving part and the second moving part on opposite sides perpendicular to the first rotation axis, respectively, to provide damping force during the relative rotation of the first moving part and the second moving part. The end of the first moving part away from the rotatable connection is connected to the housing or to the housing through the first rod. The end of the second moving part away from the rotatable connection is connected to the barrel assembly.
[0011] The damping element includes a first end face and a second end face at opposite ends along the direction of the first rotation axis;
[0012] At least one of the first end face and the second end face is spaced apart from the first moving member and spaced apart from the second moving member; or, one of the first moving member and the second moving member is engaged with the damping member to prevent rotation, and the other is spaced apart from the first end face and the second end face.
[0013] In some embodiments, the first moving member includes a first annular portion, the second moving member includes a second annular portion, the first annular portion and the second annular portion are nested together and have an annular space along the radial direction, and the damping member is disposed within the annular space.
[0014] In some embodiments, the damping element is interference-fitted with the annular space, and the radial compression of the damping element does not exceed 30%.
[0015] In some embodiments, the damping element is interference-fitted with the annular space, and the first and second annular portions apply a preload to the damping element radially, thereby positioning the damping element axially based on the preload.
[0016] In some embodiments, the first moving member includes a first end plate connected to the first annular portion, and the second moving member includes a second end plate connected to the second annular portion, with the first annular portion and the second annular portion located between the first end plate and the second end plate.
[0017] In some embodiments, the second annular portion surrounds the outer periphery of the first annular portion, and the inner surface of the second annular portion is provided with a rib protruding toward the first annular portion. The sidewall of the damping member has a notch, and the rib is inserted into the notch.
[0018] Alternatively, the first annular portion surrounds the outer periphery of the second annular portion, the inner surface of the first annular portion has a rib protruding toward the second annular portion, and the sidewall of the damping member has a notch, into which the rib is inserted.
[0019] In some embodiments, the first moving member includes a first connecting end, which is connected to the housing via the first rod. The first connecting end is provided with a through hole and a through groove that communicate with each other. The first rod passes through the through hole, and the through groove passes through at least one end face at each of the axially opposite ends of the through hole. The first connecting end is capable of rotating circumferentially around the first rod and / or sliding along the extension direction of the first rod.
[0020] In some embodiments, the garment handling device includes a second rod connected to the circumferential outer side of the tub assembly, the second moving part including a second connecting end having a through hole, the sidewall of the second rod having a deformation groove allowing the second rod to contract at least partially inward so that the second rod passes through the through hole, and the second connecting end being circumferentially rotatable about the second rod.
[0021] In some implementations, the damping element is made of polyurethane foam or soft rubber.
[0022] In some implementations, the first rotation axis is substantially parallel to the axis of the barrel assembly.
[0023] The clothing processing equipment provided in this application embodiment, when the tub assembly vibrates and wobbles, the first moving part and the second moving part rotate relative to each other. The damping part provides damping force during the relative rotation of the first moving part and the second moving part to suppress the vibration of the tub assembly. That is, the damping force reduces the vibration of the tub assembly, thereby achieving vibration buffering of the tub assembly, reducing the probability of the tub assembly hitting the box, and thus reducing the noise of the whole machine.
[0024] Furthermore, by spacing at least one of the first end face and the second end face from the first moving member and the second moving member, the probability of at least one of the first end face and the second end face contacting the first moving member and the second moving member is reduced. This reduces the probability of at least one of the first end face and the second end face of the damping member contacting the first moving member and the second moving member to generate damping force. As a result, the damping force is mainly generated by the damping member cooperating with the first moving member and the second moving member on opposite sides perpendicular to the first rotation axis. This makes it easier to control the magnitude of the damping force during design and manufacturing, and minimizes the deviation between the actual vibration reduction performance and the expected vibration reduction performance of the vibration damping component.

[0038] 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.
[0039] 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.
[0040] 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.
[0041] 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.
[0042] This application provides a garment processing device 100. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The garment processing equipment 100 includes a box 1, a bucket assembly 2, a first rod 4, and a vibration damping assembly 3.
[0043] The bucket assembly 2 is housed inside the housing 1. The housing 1 provides storage space and protection for the bucket assembly 2, isolating it from the outside world and reducing the chance of dust and other impurities coming into contact with it. When the garment processing equipment 100 is subjected to impact, the housing 1 can also effectively withstand the external impact, reducing the chance of damage to the bucket assembly 2.
[0044] It is understood that the tub assembly 2 may include an inner tub and an outer tub, with the inner tub disposed inside the outer tub, and the space within the inner tub defining the garment handling 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, it relies on the outer tub to hold water; when the inner tub is a non-perforated inner tub, it relies on the inner tub itself to hold water. That is, the inner tub can hold both water and clothes, and during the washing process, water from the inner tub will not enter the outer tub. In some embodiments, the tub assembly 2 may only have an inner tub without an outer tub; in this case, the inner tub is a non-perforated inner tub.
[0045] In this embodiment, the bucket assembly 2, which includes an inner bucket and an outer bucket, is used as an example for explanation.
[0046] It is understandable that when the garment processing equipment is in the washing or spin-drying state, the inner drum rotates, and the clothes inside the inner drum will shift during the rotation, causing the center of gravity of the inner drum to shift. This results in the inner drum rotating eccentrically, causing the outer drum to vibrate and wobble. When the degree of eccentricity of the inner drum rotation increases, the amplitude of the outer drum will also increase, making the drum assembly more likely to collide with the cabinet and affect the spin-drying process.
[0047] Please see Figure 5 The vibration damping component 3 includes a first moving part 31, a second moving part 32, and a damping component 33. The first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 are rotatably connected and define a first rotation axis L2. The damping component 33 is disposed at the rotatable connection between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32. The damping component 33 cooperates with the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 on opposite sides perpendicular to the first rotation axis L2, respectively, to provide damping force during the relative rotation of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32. The end of the first moving part 31 away from the rotatable connection is connected to the housing 1 or to the housing 1 through the first rod 4. The end of the second moving part 32 away from the rotatable connection is connected to the barrel assembly 2.
[0048] It should be noted that the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 are rotatably connected and define the first rotation axis L2, meaning that at least one of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 can rotate around the first rotation axis L2, thereby causing the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 to rotate relative to each other.
[0049] It should be noted that damping element 33 refers to a structure whose material itself possesses damping characteristics. The form in which damping force is provided by damping element 33 is not limited. For example, damping element 33 can be a viscous damper, which generates damping force by filling a high-viscosity liquid between two relatively rotating parts. Damping element 33 can also be a friction damper, which generates damping force by providing friction plates or friction surfaces between two relatively rotating parts. Damping element 33 can also be an air damper, which generates damping force by providing a sealed cavity between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32, utilizing the compression and expansion of air. Damping element 33 can also be an elastic material damping element, which generates damping force by providing an elastic element between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32.
[0050] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1The first moving part 31 is connected to the housing 1 at the end away from the rotating connection, and the second moving part 32 is connected to the bucket assembly 2 at the end away from the rotating connection. That is, the vibration of the bucket assembly 2 is transmitted to the second moving part 32 through the first moving part 31, and then to the housing 1 through the second moving part 32. The damping part 33 is disposed between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32. When the bucket assembly 2 vibrates and wobbles, the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 rotate relative to each other. The damping part 33 provides damping force during the relative rotation of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 to suppress the vibration of the bucket assembly 2. That is, the damping force reduces the vibration of the bucket assembly 2, thereby buffering the vibration of the bucket assembly 2, reducing the possibility of the vibration of the bucket assembly 2 being transmitted to the housing 1, and thus reducing the overall noise of the machine.
[0051] In some embodiments, the damping element 33 includes a first end face 331 and a second end face 332 at opposite ends along the direction of the first rotation axis L2.
[0052] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 At least one of the first end face 331 and the second end face 332 is spaced apart from the first moving member 31 and spaced apart from the second moving member 32. By spaced apart from the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 by at least one of the first end face 331 and the second end face 332, the probability of at least one of the first end face 331 and the second end face 332 contacting the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 is reduced. This reduces the probability of at least one of the first end face 331 and the second end face 332 of the damping member 33 contacting the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 to generate damping force. As a result, the damping force is mainly generated by the damping member 33 cooperating with the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 on opposite sides perpendicular to the first rotation axis L2. This makes it easier to control the magnitude of the damping force during design and manufacturing, and minimizes the deviation between the actual damping performance and the expected damping performance of the vibration damping component 3.
[0053] In some other embodiments, please refer to Figure 11 One of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 is engaged with the damping member 33 to prevent rotation, and the other is spaced apart from the first end face 331 and the second end face 332.
[0054] It should be noted that the anti-rotation fit means that the damping element 33 will not rotate circumferentially around the moving element with which it is anti-rotation fitted. In other words, the moving element with which the damping element 33 is anti-rotation fitted is unlikely to exert pressure or friction on the damping element 33 in the direction of the first rotation axis L2.
[0055] In this embodiment, the damping force is mainly generated by the damping element 33 in cooperation with the first moving element 31 and the second moving element 32 on opposite sides along a direction perpendicular to the first rotation axis L2, which helps to improve the control accuracy of the damping force. For example, please refer to Figure 11 The damping element 33 is anti-rotationally engaged with the first moving element 31, and the second moving element 32 is spaced apart from the first end face 331 and the second end face 332.
[0056] In other embodiments, the damping member 33 may be anti-rotationally coupled with the second moving member 32, and the first moving member 31 may be spaced apart from the first end face 331 and the second end face 332.
[0057] It is understood that at least one of the first end face 331 and the second end face 332 is spaced apart from the first moving member 31 and spaced apart from the second moving member 32, including the following three cases.
[0058] In the first embodiment, the first end face 331 does not contact either the first moving member 31 or the second moving member 32 in the direction of the first rotation axis L2. In this embodiment, the damping force is mainly generated by the damping member 33 engaging with the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 on opposite sides along the direction perpendicular to the first rotation axis L2, and the second end face 332 contacting the first moving member 31 or the second moving member 32 along the direction of the first rotation axis. This ensures that the first end face 331 does not contact the first moving member 31 or the second moving member 32 along the direction of the first rotation axis L2, thus reducing the influence of the first end face 331 on the damping force.
[0059] In the second embodiment, the second end face 332 does not contact either the first moving member 31 or the second moving member 32 in the direction of the first rotation axis L2. In this embodiment, the damping force is mainly generated by the damping member 33 cooperating with the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 on opposite sides along the direction perpendicular to the first rotation axis L2. The first end face 331 contacts the first moving member 31 or the second moving member 32 in the direction of the first rotation axis, thus ensuring that the second end face 332 does not contact the first moving member 31 or the second moving member 32 in the direction of the first rotation axis L2, thereby reducing the influence of the second end face 332 on the damping force.
[0060] The third type, please refer to Figure 8 The first end face 331 and the second end face 332 do not contact the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 in the direction of the first rotating shaft axis. In this embodiment, the damping force is mainly generated by the damping member 33 in cooperation with the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 on opposite sides in the direction perpendicular to the first rotating axis L2, which helps to improve the control accuracy of the damping force.
[0061] This application will describe an embodiment in which the first end face 331 and the second end face 332 do not contact the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 in the direction of the first rotating shaft axis. In some embodiments, the first moving member 31 includes a first annular portion 311, and the second moving member 32 includes a second annular portion 321. The first annular portion 311 and the second annular portion 321 are nested together and have an annular space in their radial direction. The damping member 33 is disposed within the annular space.
[0062] It should be noted that the nested arrangement of the first annular portion 311 and the second annular portion 321 means that the first annular portion 311 is embedded within the second annular portion 321, or the second annular portion 321 is embedded within the first annular portion 311. The annular space is the space between the first annular portion 311 and the second annular portion 321. The damping member 33 is disposed in the annular space, that is, between the first annular portion 311 and the second annular portion 321. When the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 rotate relative to each other, the first annular portion 311 and the second annular portion 321 rotate relative to each other. The damping member 33 cooperates with the first annular portion 311 and the second annular portion 321 on opposite sides perpendicular to the first rotation axis L2 to generate a damping force.
[0063] Please see Figure 8 In some embodiments, the first annular portion 311 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second annular portion 321.
[0064] In some embodiments, the damping element 33 is interference-fitted with the annular space.
[0065] In this embodiment, the damping element 33 is interference-fitted with the first moving element 31 and the second moving element 32 on opposite sides perpendicular to the first rotation axis L2, thereby increasing the frictional force between the damping element 33 and the first moving element 31 and the second moving element 32. After the damping element 33 is compressed, it stores elastic potential energy, which causes the damping element 33 to generate a restoring force, thereby increasing the contact with the first moving element 31 and the second moving element 32, thus increasing the frictional force between the damping element 33 and the first moving element 31 and the second moving element 32, and thus increasing the damping force.
[0066] In this embodiment, the damping element 33 may be made of a polyurethane foam material with high wear resistance or a soft rubber material with high wear resistance. It has a high coefficient of friction on its surface and can deform to cooperate with the first moving element 31 and the second moving element 32.
[0067] It is understood that in other embodiments, the damping element 33 may also be made of a semi-metallic friction material or the like to provide frictional damping during the relative rotation of the first moving element 31 and the second moving element 32.
[0068] For example, the radial compression of the damper 33 does not exceed 30%. This helps to avoid excessive compression of the damper 33, which could lead to excessive damping force and make relative rotation between the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 difficult.
[0069] In some embodiments, the damping element 33 is interference-fitted with the annular space. The first annular portion 311 and the second annular portion 321 apply a pre-warning force to the damping element 33 radially, and the damping element 33 is positioned axially based on the pre-warning force. That is to say, no other fixing structure is required; only the magnitude of the pre-tightening force is needed to achieve the axial positioning of the damping element 33. The damping element 33 is not prone to axial movement, and the structure is simple.
[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the first moving member 31 includes a first end plate 312 connected to the first annular portion 311, and the second moving member 32 includes a second end plate 322 connected to the second annular portion 321. The first annular portion 311 and the second annular portion 321 are located between the first end plate 312 and the second end plate 322.
[0071] In this embodiment, the first end plate 312 and the second end plate 322 can provide support for the first annular portion 311 and the second annular portion 321, and the first annular portion 311 and the second annular portion 321 are defined between the first end plate 312 and the second end plate 322. This can increase the docking stability of the first annular portion 311 and the second annular portion 321, reduce the probability of loosening at the docking point of the first annular portion 311 and the second annular portion 321, and at the same time, reduce the probability of the damping member 33 coming out of the annular space, and isolate the damping member 33 from other components outside the vibration damping assembly 3, so that the installation stability of the vibration damping assembly 3 is good.
[0072] In some embodiments, the first end plate 312 and the second end plate 322 are arranged in parallel. This further increases the smoothness of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 when they rotate relative to each other.
[0073] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 8 The vibration damping component 3 also includes a connector 35, which passes through the first end plate 312 and the second end plate 322.
[0074] Specifically, the connector 35 can connect the first end plate 312 and the second end plate 322, thereby fixing the first annular portion 311 and the second annular portion 321 along the direction of the first rotation axis L2, reducing the probability of the first annular portion 311 dislodging from the second annular portion 321 or the second annular portion 321 dislodging from the first annular portion 311. At the same time, it can also reduce the probability of the damping member 33 dislodging from the annular space, increase the installation stability of the vibration damping assembly 3, and also increase the stability of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 when they rotate relative to each other.
[0075] The specific structure of the connector 35 is not limited, as long as it can connect the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 without affecting the relative rotation of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32. For example, the connector 35 can be a rivet.
[0076] It is understood that the garment handling equipment 100 may also include a gasket 34, see [link / reference]. Figure 6 and Figure 8 When the first annular portion 311 surrounds the outer periphery of the second annular portion 321, the gasket 34 is disposed on the first end plate 312, and the connector 35 passes through the gasket 34, the first end plate 312, and the second end plate 322 in sequence. The gasket 34 can protect the first end plate 312 and reduce the probability of damage to the first end plate 312.
[0077] When the second annular portion 321 surrounds the outer periphery of the first annular portion 311, the gasket 34 is disposed on the second end plate 322, and the connector 35 passes through the gasket 34, the second end plate 322, and the first end plate 312 in sequence.
[0078] In some embodiments, the second annular portion 321 surrounds the outer periphery of the first annular portion 311, and the inner surface of the second annular portion 321 is provided with a rib 3111 protruding toward the first annular portion 311. The sidewall of the damping member 33 has a notch 33a, and the rib 3111 is inserted into the notch 33a.
[0079] Alternatively, please see Figure 8 The first annular portion 311 surrounds the outer periphery of the second annular portion 321. (See attached image.) Figure 9 The inner surface of the first annular portion 311 has a rib 3111 protruding toward the second annular portion 321, and the side wall of the damping member 33 has a notch 33a, into which the rib 3111 is inserted.
[0080] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the rib 3111 and the notch 33a notches not only enables the installation and positioning of the damping component 33, but also reduces the probability of the damping component 33 rotating in the annular space when the first moving component 31 and the second moving component 32 do not rotate relative to each other after the damping component 33 is installed, thereby increasing the installation stability of the vibration damping assembly 3.
[0081] It should be noted that in the embodiment where the second annular portion 321 surrounds the outer periphery of the first annular portion 311, when the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 rotate relative to each other, since the rib 3111 is located on the inner surface of the second annular portion 321, the damping member 33 does not rotate relative to the second moving member 32, but rotates relative to the first moving member 31.
[0082] Similarly, in the embodiment where the first annular portion 311 surrounds the outer periphery of the second annular portion 321, when the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 rotate relative to each other, since the rib 3111 is located on the inner surface of the first annular portion 311, the damping member 33 does not rotate relative to the first moving member 31, but rotates relative to the second moving member 32.
[0083] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first moving component 31 includes a first connecting end 313, which is connected to the housing 1 via a first rod 4. The first connecting end 313 has a through hole 313a and a through groove 313b that communicate with each other. The first rod 4 passes through the through hole 313a, and the through groove 313b passes through the axially opposite end faces of the through hole 313a. The first connecting end 313 is capable of rotating around the circumference of the first rod 4 and / or sliding along the extension direction of the first rod 4.
[0084] It should be noted that the through groove 313b penetrates the axial end faces of the through hole 313a, meaning that the hole wall of the through hole 313a is disconnected in the circumferential direction. The through hole 313a and the through groove 313b have a certain elastic deformation capacity. During the process of the first rod 4 passing through the through hole 313a, or when the first connecting end 313 moves relative to the first rod 4, the through hole 313a and the through groove 313b can undergo elastic deformation to adapt to the required hole diameter of the through hole 313a when the first rod 4 is installed or when the first connecting end 313 moves relative to the first rod 4.
[0085] It should be noted that the first connecting end 313 can rotate around the circumference of the first rod 4 and / or slide along the extension direction of the first rod 4, including at least three cases.
[0086] The first type: The first connecting end 313 can rotate around the circumference of the first rod 4. Thus, the first connecting end 313 has at least one rotational degree of freedom.
[0087] The second type: the first connecting end 313 can slide along the extension direction of the first rod 4. In this way, the first connecting end 313 has at least one sliding degree of freedom.
[0088] The third type: the first connecting end 313 can rotate around the circumference of the first rod 4 and slide along the extension direction of the first rod 4. Thus, the first connecting end 313 has at least one rotational degree of freedom and one sliding degree of freedom.
[0089] This application embodiment is illustrated by taking the first connecting end 313 as an example, which can rotate around the first rod 4 in the circumferential direction and slide along the extension direction of the first rod 4.
[0090] In this embodiment, when the clothing processing equipment 100 is in the washing or spin-drying state, the vibration energy of the tub assembly 2 can be transmitted through the second moving member 32 to the end of the first moving member 31 that is rotatably connected to the second moving member 32, and then to the first connecting end 313. When the tub assembly 2 vibrates and sways, the first connecting end 313 may sway relative to the first rod 4. The first rod 4 forces the through hole 313a and the through groove 313b to undergo elastic deformation to increase the diameter of the through hole 313a, thereby buffering the interference between the hole wall of the through hole 313a and the first rod 4, reducing the probability of the first rod 4 getting stuck in the through hole 313a, increasing the smoothness of the vibration damping component 3 rotating around the first rod 4 and / or sliding along the extension direction of the first rod 4, so as to adapt to the vibration displacement of the tub assembly 2 in different vibration directions when the tub assembly 2 moves violently, making it easier to absorb the vibration energy of the tub assembly 2, reducing the probability of the tub assembly 2 hitting the housing 1, and thus reducing the noise of the whole machine.
[0091] It is understood that the first connecting end 313 is connected to the housing 1 via the first rod 4. This can be achieved in some embodiments; please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1 to 4 The garment processing equipment 100 includes multiple hanging rods 6, one end of each hanging rod 6 is connected to a tub assembly 2, and the other end is connected to a housing 1. The tub assembly 2 is suspended from the housing 1 by the multiple hanging rods 6. In this embodiment, the first rod 4 is part of the hanging rod 6, or the first rod 4 is connected to the hanging rod 6. This achieves the connection between the first rod 4 and the housing 1.
[0092] Specifically, the top end of the hanging rod 6 is fixed to the housing 1, and the bottom end of the hanging rod 6 is fixed to the bucket assembly 2. There can be four hanging rods 6. The top ends of the four hanging rods 6 correspond to the four corners of the top of the housing 1, and the bottom ends of the four hanging rods 6 are fixed to the side walls of the bucket assembly 2 corresponding to the four corners of the housing 1. In this way, each hanging rod 6 can evenly distribute the weight of the bucket assembly 2, increasing the installation stability of the clothing processing equipment 100.
[0093] Please see Figure 1 The first rod 4 is part of the hanging rod 6.
[0094] In this embodiment, the first connecting end 313 is connected to the hanging rod 6 via the first rod 4. There is sufficient installation space between the bucket assembly 2 and the hanging rod 6 to arrange the vibration damping component 3. The hanging rod 6 has sufficient structural strength to provide sufficient motion support for the vibration damping component 3. The end of the vibration damping component 3 connected to the hanging rod 6 will not detach from the hanging rod 6, increasing the installation stability of the vibration damping component 3. In addition, the end of the first moving part 31 away from the rotating connection is not directly connected to the housing 1. The vibration energy of the bucket assembly 2 is transmitted to the housing 1 via the vibration damping component 3 and the hanging rod 6, which can reduce the vibration energy received by the housing 1 and increase the operational stability of the clothing processing equipment 100.
[0095] Of course, the first rod 4 can also be connected to the hanger 6. The hanger 6 can provide support for the first rod 4, thereby providing sufficient support for the first connecting end 313.
[0096] Understandably, the boom 6 can also be equipped with a vibration damping structure to buffer the vibration of the bucket assembly 2. For example, please refer to... Figure 1 The garment processing equipment 100 includes a damping cylinder 63, a base support 64 disposed at the bottom end of the hanging rod 6, and a vibration damping spring 62. The vibration damping spring 62 passes through the hanging rod 6 and is clamped between the damping cylinder 63 and the base support 64. A connecting groove 2a is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the bottom end of the tub assembly 2, and the connecting groove 2a is sleeved on the damping cylinder 63. Specifically, the damping cylinder 63 is sleeved on the hanging rod 6, and the vibration damping spring 62 is a compression spring. One end of the vibration damping spring 62 abuts against the bottom end of the damping cylinder 63, and the other end abuts against the base support 64. In this way, when the tub assembly 2 vibrates during washing or spin-drying, the vibration damping spring 62 slides up and down along the hanging rod 6 to absorb the longitudinal vibration energy of the tub assembly 2, thereby reducing the vibration noise of the cabinet 1 and increasing the operational stability of the garment processing equipment 100.
[0097] The number of vibration damping components 3 is unlimited; for example, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 There are four vibration damping components 3. One end of each vibration damping component 3 is connected to the bucket assembly 2, and the other end is connected to the hanging rod 6. Thus, the vibration damping components 3 can evenly and fully buffer the vibration of the bucket assembly 2 from different directions, increase the vibration damping effect, and improve the operational safety of the clothing processing equipment 100.
[0098] The first connecting end 313 is connected to the housing 1 via the first rod 4. Alternatively, in some embodiments, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 10 The garment processing equipment 100 includes a workbench 9, which is located at the top of the housing 1. One end of the first rod 4 is connected to the workbench 9, and the other end extends downward from the workbench 9 to form a suspended free end, or extends downward and connects to the lower part or bottom plate of the housing 1. This achieves the connection between the first rod 4 and the housing 1.
[0099] It is understandable that the workbench 9 is located on the top side of the housing 1. The workbench 9 has a clothing inlet that communicates with the clothing processing chamber. In other words, the clothes to be washed can be put into the clothing processing chamber from the top side through the clothing inlet, and the washed clothes can also be taken out of the clothing processing chamber through the clothing inlet.
[0100] In this embodiment, one end of the vibration damping component 3 is connected to the bucket component 2, and the other end is connected to the workbench 9 through the first rod 4. The bucket component 2 and the workbench 9 together provide installation support for the vibration damping component 3 to increase the installation stability and motion stability of the vibration damping component 3. Furthermore, the end of the first moving part 31 away from the rotating connection is not directly connected to the box 1. The vibration energy of the bucket component 2 is transmitted to the box 1 through the vibration damping component 3 and the workbench 9. The workbench 9 can share some of the vibration energy of the box 1, which can reduce the vibration noise of the box 1 and increase the operational stability of the clothing processing equipment 100.
[0101] In addition, the first rod 4 extends downward from the worktable 9, and the axis of the first rod 4 is along the height direction, which helps to reduce the motion resistance of the first connecting end 313.
[0102] The first connecting end 313 is connected to the housing 1 via the first rod 4. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the garment processing device 100 includes the housing 1 and a mounting base, with the mounting base disposed on the housing 1 and at least one end of the first rod 4 disposed on the mounting base. This achieves the connection between the first rod 4 and the housing 1.
[0103] In this embodiment, one end of the vibration damping component 3 is connected to the barrel component 2, and the other end is connected to the box 1 through the first rod 4, so that the vibration damping component 3 is connected to the barrel component 2 and the box 1 respectively. The barrel component 2 and the box 1 together provide support for the vibration damping component 3. In this way, the vibration damping component 3 has sufficient installation space and movement space, which is convenient for buffering the vibration of the barrel component 2.
[0104] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The garment processing device 100 includes a second rod 5 connected to the outer circumferential side of the tub assembly 2. The second moving part 32 includes a second connecting end 323 with a through hole 323a. The side wall of the second rod 5 has a deformation groove that allows the second rod 5 to contract at least partially inward so that the second rod 5 passes through the through hole 323a. The second connecting end 323 can rotate around the circumference of the second rod 5.
[0105] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1The bucket assembly 2 includes at least two mounting blocks 21 protruding from the outer circumferential wall of the bucket assembly 2. The two mounting blocks 21 are spaced apart along the height direction. The two ends of the second rod 5 are fixed to the mounting blocks 21. The second connecting end 323 is sleeved on the part of the second rod 5 located between the two mounting blocks 21 and abuts against the two mounting blocks 21 respectively.
[0106] In this way, on the one hand, the stability of the second rod 5 fixed to the barrel assembly 2 can be increased, and the probability of the second rod 5 coming off the barrel assembly 2 can be reduced. In addition, the probability of the second connecting end 323 coming off the second rod 5 can also be reduced. On the other hand, the two mounting blocks 21 constrain the sliding freedom of the second connecting end 323 along the extension direction of the second rod 5, so that the second connecting end 323 only has the motion freedom of circumferential rotation around the second rod 5.
[0107] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The garment processing device 100 includes a bushing 7, which is disposed in a through hole 323a, and a second rod 5 passes through the bushing 7 and contacts the bushing 7.
[0108] In this embodiment, the bushing 7 serves two purposes: firstly, it facilitates the firm insertion of the second rod 5 into the through hole 323a; secondly, when the second rod 5 contacts the bushing 7 and the second connecting end 323 rotates around the second rod 5, the inner wall of the through hole 323a does not directly contact or rub against the second rod 5, reducing the probability of damage to the vibration damping assembly 3 while also further reducing the generation of impact noise.
[0109] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The garment processing equipment 100 also includes a vibration damping sleeve 8, with a bushing 7 inserted inside the vibration damping sleeve 8, and the outer periphery of the vibration damping sleeve 8 contacting the wall of the through hole 323a.
[0110] It is understandable that the bushing 7 can be made of metal. The bushing 7 is set in the through hole 323a, and the second rod 5 passes through the through hole 323a. When the second connecting end 323 rotates around the second rod 5, the friction with the bushing 7 will also damage the vibration damping component 3.
[0111] In this embodiment, the damping sleeve 8 can isolate the through hole 323a from the bushing 7, reducing the contact wear between the inner wall of the through hole 323a and the bushing 7. In addition, the damping sleeve 8 can also play a buffering and damping role, further reducing the probability of noise generation.
[0112] The damping sleeve 8 can be made of plastic or rubber. When the bushing 7 and the second rod 5 are inserted into the through hole 323a, the damping sleeve 8 can undergo appropriate deformation, and the damping sleeve 8 is in close contact with the inner wall of the through hole 323a, the bushing 7 is in close contact with the damping sleeve 8, and the second rod 5 is in close contact with the bushing 7, thereby achieving a stable fit between the second rod 5 and the through hole 323a.
[0113] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The bushing 7 has a second deformation groove 7a on its side wall. The second deformation groove 7a passes through the opposite ends of the side wall of the bushing 7 along the axial direction, so that the bushing 7 can generate radial elastic deformation.
[0114] In this embodiment, the second deformation groove 7a is provided so that the bushing 7 can undergo radial elastic deformation to press the damping sleeve 8 tightly. The second rod 5 then contracts inward under the action of the first deformation groove 5a to fit with the bushing 7. In this way, when the second connecting end 323 adapts to the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2 by rotation, it can generate almost no impact noise or generate very little impact noise.
[0115] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8 The first rotation axis L2 is basically parallel to the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2.
[0116] It should be noted that the term "basic parallelism" means that the angle between the first rotation axis L2 and the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2 can be 0° or close to 0°, allowing for certain processing and assembly errors. For example, the angle between the first rotation axis L2 and the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2 is 0° to 5°, such as 0°, 0.3°, 0.5°, 0.7°, 0.9°, 1°, 1.2°, 1.4°, 1.6°, 1.8°, 2°, 3°, 4°, and 5°. That is, angles between 0° and 5° are considered basically parallel.
[0117] Understandably, during washing or spin-drying, the tub assembly 2 vibrates in both the horizontal and vertical directions, with the horizontal vibration being dominant. The vertical vibration displacement of the tub assembly 2 is small and less likely to cause impact with the tub, while the horizontal vibration displacement is large and easily exceeds the horizontal gap between the casing 1 and the tub assembly 2, potentially causing impact with the casing 1. Therefore, it is necessary to effectively suppress the horizontal vibration of the tub assembly 2. In related technologies, the rotation axes of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 of the vibration damping component are approximately parallel to the horizontal direction. That is, the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 mainly oscillate along the vertical plane. The damping force on the vibration is mainly decomposed into a force along the vertical direction, with a small component along the horizontal direction. Therefore, it cannot effectively absorb the horizontal vibration of the tub assembly 2, resulting in limited vibration damping effect.
[0118] It is understood that the horizontal direction refers to the direction parallel to the horizontal plane after the garment processing equipment 100 is placed on a horizontal ground, such as the left-right direction, the front-back direction, and other horizontal directions that intersect with the left-right and front-back directions.
[0119] For example, the height direction is Figure 1 and Figure 10 The directions shown include both top-down and bottom-up directions.
[0120] In this embodiment, when the tub assembly 2 vibrates and wobbles, the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 of the damping component 3 can rotate relative to each other around their connection point and define the first rotation axis L2. Since the first rotation axis L2 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 in a roughly horizontal direction. The friction force generated by the damping component 33 is roughly in a horizontal direction, which can be used to reduce the horizontal vibration of the tub assembly 2, effectively suppress the horizontal vibration of the tub assembly 2, reduce the vibration displacement of the tub assembly 2, reduce the probability of the tub assembly 2 hitting the box 1, and thus reduce the noise of the clothing processing equipment 100.
[0121] In some examples, the included angle between the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 does not exceed 180°. That is, the included angle between the line connecting the centers of the first and second ends of the first moving member 31 and the line connecting the centers of the first and second ends of the second moving member 32 does not exceed 180°.
[0122] It is understood that the included angle not exceeding 180° means that, before or during the relative rotation of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32, taking one of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 as a reference, the included angle between the line connecting the centers of the first and second ends of the first moving member 31 and the line connecting the centers of the first and second ends of the second moving member 32 along the same direction does not exceed 180°. For example, please refer to... Figure 7 Taking the first moving member 31 as a reference, the line A1 connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the first moving member 31 and the line A2 connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the second moving member 32 are along... Figure 7 The angle between the clockwise directions shown always does not exceed 180°.
[0123] In this embodiment, the included angle 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 adapt to the vibration position change of the barrel assembly 2, thereby increasing the vibration damping reliability of the vibration damping assembly 3.
[0124] For some examples, please refer to Figure 7When the barrel assembly 2 is in a stationary state, the included angle between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32, that is, the included 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.
[0125] In this embodiment, when the bucket assembly 2 is in a stationary state, the included angle between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 is within a suitable range. On the one hand, this facilitates the relative rotation of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 under the vibration of the bucket assembly 2. On the other hand, it also ensures that the second moving part 32 has a sufficient range of rotation when rotating relative to the first moving part 31, thereby increasing the vibration damping reliability of the vibration damping assembly 3.
[0126] For some examples, please refer to Figure 4 The connection position between the vibration damping component 3 and the tub component 2 is the first position 3a, and the connection position between the vibration damping component 3 and the first rod 4 is the second position 3b. In the plane projection perpendicular to the height direction of the clothing processing equipment 100, when the tub component 2 is in a stationary state, the line L3 connecting the center of the projection of the first position 3a and the second position 3b is basically perpendicular to the tangent line L4 of the tub component 2 at the first position 3a.
[0127] The aforementioned basic perpendicularity refers to the fact 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 L4 of the barrel assembly 2 at the first position 3a can be 90° or close to 90°, allowing for certain processing and assembly errors. 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 L4 of the barrel assembly 2 at the first position 3a is 85° to 95°, i.e., 85° ≤ β ≤ 95°, such as 85°, 86°, 87°, 88°, 89°, 90°, 91°, 92°, 93°, 94°, 95°, etc.
[0128] In this embodiment, the range of included angle β allows the vibration damping component 3 to be in a relatively stable state when the bucket assembly 2 is in a stationary state. When the bucket assembly 2 vibrates and sways, the resistance of the vibration damping component 3 when it moves with the vibration of the bucket assembly 2 is also small, which helps to increase the working reliability of the vibration damping component 3.
[0129] The following combination Figures 1 to 10 The movement mode of the vibration damping component 3 according to an embodiment of this application will be briefly described.
[0130] There are four vibration damping components 3 and four hangers 6. The four vibration damping components 3 are centrally symmetrically distributed with respect to the center line of the barrel component 2.
[0131] The first rod 4 is part of the lifting rod 6, the first connecting end 313 is part of the first moving part 31, and the lifting rod 6 passes through the through hole 313a. Furthermore, the four through slots 313b are all oriented towards the corresponding through hole 313a on the same side of the circumference of the barrel assembly 2.
[0132] The first connecting end 313 is provided with a through hole 313a and a through groove 313b that are interconnected. The first connecting end 313 can rotate around the circumference of the rod 6, slide along the extension direction of the rod 6, and swing up and down relative to the rod 6. The through hole 313a and the through groove 313b can provide elastic deformation.
[0133] The second moving part 32 includes a second connecting end 323, which is the end of the second moving part 32 away from the first moving part 31. The second connecting end 323 has a through hole 323a, and the second rod 5 passes through the through hole 323a. The second rod 5 is hollow and has a first deformation groove 5a. The bushing 7 has a second deformation groove 7a. The second rod 5 is stably engaged with the through hole 323a through the damping sleeve 8 and the bushing 7. The second moving part 32 can rotate around the circumference of the second rod 5.
[0134] The first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 can rotate relative to each other about their connection point.
[0135] In this embodiment, the vibration damping component 3 has five degrees of freedom of motion: rotational degree of freedom to rotate around the first rod 4, sliding degree of freedom to slide along the extension direction of the first rod 4, degree of freedom to swing up and down relative to the first rod 4, degree of freedom to rotate around the second rod 5, and degree of freedom of relative rotation of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32. The vibration damping component 3 has a low probability of motion jamming and can adapt to the vibration displacement of the barrel component 2 in different vibration directions.
[0136] In this embodiment, the first end face 331 and the second end face 332 of the damping element 33 do not contact the first moving element 31 or the second moving element 32 in the direction of the first rotating shaft axis. Alternatively, one of the first moving element 31 and the second moving element 32 is engaged with the damping element 33 to prevent rotation, while the other is spaced apart from the first end face 331 and the second end face 332. This ensures that the damping force is mainly generated by the damping element 33 engaging with the first moving element 31 and the second moving element 32 on opposite sides in a direction perpendicular to the first rotating axis L2. This facilitates control of the damping force during design and manufacturing, minimizing the deviation between the actual and expected vibration reduction performance of the vibration damping assembly 3.
