Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing processing equipment, and specifically provides a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for separate laundry services, consumers are paying more attention to the zoning of clothing. As a result, clothing processing equipment with multiple processing drums has become a hot research topic in the industry, especially those with at least three independent processing drums, which achieve separate processing of clothing through drums of different sizes. A typical clothing processing device includes one main drum and at least two auxiliary processing drums. The main drum is suitable for washing bulky fabrics such as regular outerwear and bedding, while the auxiliary drums are specifically designed for gentle washing of smaller, more intimate items such as underwear and stockings.

[0003] However, existing technologies have significant drawbacks in terms of equipment transport adaptability. The main drum, due to its larger size, is typically easy to connect directly to the equipment casing and possesses good vibration resistance. However, the auxiliary drums, due to their reduced size, cannot be directly connected to the casing and are difficult to secure. This results in noticeable shaking of the multi-drum garment processing equipment during transport, potentially leading to damage to internal components.

[0004] Accordingly, there is a need in the field for a new garment processing device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

The first end and the second end are bent from both ends of the body to the same side, so that a channel is formed between the first end, the body, and the second end. The first end and the second end are connected to the front of the housing. The channel accommodates the water pipe of the clothing processing equipment. The fixing rod is installed on the body.

[0010] In the optional technical solutions of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the main body is provided with a pipe clamp, which is used to fix the water pipe.

[0011] In the optional technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the inner wall of the front plate of the housing is provided with a first reinforcing plate, the reinforcing member is installed on the first reinforcing plate, the inner wall of the back plate of the housing is provided with a second reinforcing plate, and the rear end of the fixing rod is connected to the second reinforcing plate.

[0012] In the optional technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the first surface of the reinforcing member has a groove, the groove extends toward the second surface opposite to the first surface to form a protrusion on the second surface, the protrusion has a first mounting hole, the first mounting hole extends from the second surface into the groove, and the fixing rod extends from the second surface into the first mounting hole.

[0013] In the optional technical solutions of the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, the second surface is further formed with a first rib, and the sidewall of the protrusion is connected to the first rib; and / or the second surface is further formed with a second rib, the second rib being located around the protrusion, and a first reinforcing groove being formed between the second rib, the second surface and the protrusion.

[0014] In the optional technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the back of the second reinforcing plate has a receiving groove, the bottom wall of the receiving groove has a second mounting hole, the rear end of the fixing rod has a limiting cap, the fixing rod is disposed in the second mounting hole, the limiting cap is located outside the second mounting hole and its width is greater than the width of the second mounting hole, and the limiting cap does not protrude from the receiving groove.

[0015] In the optional technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the clothing processing equipment further includes a vibration damping component sleeved on the fixed rod. The vibration damping component includes a first part and a second part along its axial direction. The first part is disposed between the second mounting hole and the fixed rod. The diameter of the second part is larger than the diameter of the first part. The second part is pressed against the outside of the second mounting hole.

The second tube and the third tube are connected together by the connector. The volume of the second tube and the third tube is smaller than the volume of the first tube. The fixing rod is fixed to the housing and connected to the connector.

[0019] Because the first cylinder is relatively large, it can be directly connected to the casing, exhibiting good vibration resistance and stability. Therefore, this invention connects the smaller second and third cylinders into a single unit using a connector, and forms a linked support system with the casing via a fixed rod. When the equipment is in transit or subjected to external impact, the connector, acting as a carrier, converts the vibration energy dispersed at individual cylinders into overall vibration energy. The vibration transmission path is then changed from a diffused pattern to axial transmission along the fixed rod. The stable connection between the fixed rod and the casing effectively suppresses spatial displacement of the cylinder assembly and counteracts swaying inertia through the interaction forces between the cylinder assemblies. This maintains relative stability between the cylinders under all transit conditions, reducing the likelihood of shaking. Therefore, this design results in high overall stability of the garment processing equipment, making it less prone to shaking during transit.

Detailed Implementation

[0041] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific applications.

[0042] It should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0043] To address the problem of existing multi-tube garment processing equipment easily shaking during transportation, this invention provides a garment processing device. First, a brief introduction to the garment processing device of this invention will be given.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the garment processing device of the present invention includes a housing 10, a first cylinder 22, a cylinder assembly 21, and a fixing rod 40. The first cylinder 22 and the cylinder assembly 21 are both disposed inside the housing 10. The cylinder assembly 21 includes a second cylinder 211, a third cylinder 212, and a connector 30. The second cylinder 211 and the third cylinder 212 are connected together by the connector 30. The volumes of the second cylinder 211 and the third cylinder 212 are both smaller than the volume of the first cylinder 22. The fixing rod 40 is fixed to the housing 10 and connected to the connector 30.

[0045] Because the first cylinder 22 is relatively large, it can be directly connected to the housing 10, such as by bolting the bottom of the first cylinder directly to the housing or by threading a threaded rod, thus possessing good vibration resistance and stability. Therefore, this invention connects the smaller second cylinder 211 and the third cylinder 212 into a whole through the connector 30, and forms a linkage support system with the housing 10 through the fixing rod 40. When the equipment is transported or subjected to external impact, the connector 30, as a carrier, converts the vibration energy dispersed on individual cylinders into overall vibration energy, and then changes the vibration transmission path from a diffused state to transmission along the axial direction of the fixing rod 40. Through the stable connection between the fixing rod 40 and the housing 10, not only is the spatial displacement of the cylinder assembly effectively suppressed, but the interaction force between the cylinder assemblies also counteracts the swaying inertia, thereby maintaining the relative stability between the cylinders under all transport conditions and reducing the possibility of shaking. Therefore, the above-mentioned arrangement makes the overall stability of the garment processing equipment high, and it is not easy to shake during transport.

[0046] The specific embodiments of the garment processing device of the present invention are described below.

[0047] The garment processing device of the present invention can be a multi-drum washing machine or a multi-drum washer-dryer, etc., including a housing 10, a first drum 22 disposed within the housing 10, and a drum assembly. The drum assembly includes a second drum 211 and a third drum 212, which are connected together by a connector 30 and disposed above the first drum 22. The second drum 211 and the third drum 212 have equal volumes and are both smaller than the volume of the first drum 22, and are arranged side by side along the width direction of the housing 10. Each of the first drum 22, the second drum 211, and the third drum 212 has a rotatable inner drum.

[0048] The cylindrical assembly 21 and the first cylinder 22 are independently supported within the housing 10, meaning they are separate components. The housing 10 may include a support frame, a bottom plate, a top plate, a first side plate, a second side plate, a back plate, and a front plate 11. The back plate is located at the back of the support frame, the first and second side plates are located on opposite sides of the support frame, the front plate 11 is located at the front of the support frame, the base is located at the bottom of the support frame, and the top plate is located at the top of the support frame. The first side plate, the second side plate, the back plate, and the front plate 11 together form a square annular cylindrical structure, with the top plate and bottom plate covering both ends of the cylindrical structure. It is understood that in the following description of the invention, the direction from the first side plate to the second side plate is the width direction of the housing 10, the direction from the front plate 11 to the back plate is the front-rear direction, and the direction from the top plate to the bottom plate is the up-down direction.

[0049] The cylinder assembly 21 can be connected to the support frame via a first damping assembly, and the first cylinder 22 can be connected to the support frame via a second damping assembly. Both the first and second damping assemblies may include a suspension spring 91 and a damper 92. Specifically, the support frame has first crossbeams on both sides in the width direction. After the second cylinder 211 and the third cylinder 212 are connected as a whole via connectors 30, the bottoms of both sides in the width direction are supported on the first crossbeams on both sides of the support frame by dampers 92. The first cylinder 22 is independently supported on the base plate by means of dampers. The bottom of the first cylinder 22 can be connected to the base plate by multiple dampers, which can be installed at the four corners of the bottom of the first cylinder 22, or arranged in a triangular pattern. Alternatively, the first cylinder 22 can also be connected to the side crossbeams of the support frame that are lower than the first crossbeams via dampers. However, it should be noted that this connection method is not restrictive. As long as it ensures that each cylinder is supported in the housing 10 of the garment processing equipment by the shock absorber 92, any adjustments to the specific arrangement do not deviate from the principles of this application and are within the protection scope of this application. The support frame also has second crossbeams on both sides in the width direction that are higher than the first crossbeam. After the second cylinder 211 and the third cylinder 212 are connected, the entire structure is suspended on both sides of the housing 10 in the width direction by suspension springs 91 to the second crossbeams on both sides. The first cylinder 22 can also be suspended on the first crossbeam by suspension springs or connected to other crossbeams.

[0050] The vibration energy between the first cylinder 22 and the cylinder assembly is continuously consumed and transformed during the process of transmission and interaction through the vibration damper 92 and the suspension spring 91, thereby reducing their respective vibration amplitudes and achieving mutual vibration absorption balance to ensure the stability of the garment processing equipment.

[0051] However, it should be noted that although the cylinder assembly and the first cylinder 22 in this invention are described as being connected to the support frame simultaneously via the vibration damper 92 and the suspension spring 91, those skilled in the art can choose to connect the cylinder assembly and the support frame using only one of the vibration damper 92 and the suspension spring 91, or connect the first cylinder 22 and the support frame, as needed. Furthermore, the specific type of vibration damping component in this invention is not limited to the vibration damper 92 and the suspension spring 91. Those skilled in the art can set the specific type of vibration damping component according to actual needs, and all such settings fall within the protection scope of this invention.

[0052] The garment processing device of the present invention further includes a fixing rod 40, which is fixed to the housing 10 and connected to the connecting member 30. Specifically, the inner wall of the front plate 11 of the housing 10 is provided with a first reinforcing plate 71, which can be snapped and / or bolted to the front plate 11, etc. The first reinforcing plate 71 can be sheet metal, cast iron plate, or composite plate, etc. The inner wall of the back plate of the housing 10 is provided with a second reinforcing plate 72, which can be snapped and / or bolted to the back plate, etc. The second reinforcing plate 72 can be sheet metal, cast iron plate, or composite plate, etc. The first reinforcing plate 71 is provided with a reinforcing member 50, the front end of the fixing rod 40 is connected to the reinforcing member 50, and the rear end is connected to the second reinforcing plate 72. Further, the fixing rod 40 can pass through the second reinforcing plate 72 to connect with the reinforcing member 50 (threaded connection or snap-fit, etc.). The reinforcing member 50 can be sheet metal, cast iron plate, or composite plate, etc., and the present invention does not limit its material.

[0053] Since the cylinder assembly 21 is independently supported within the housing 10, it will sway during transportation. Therefore, the above-described arrangement of the present invention enables the housing 10 to be double-reinforced from the front and rear, making the housing 10 more robust. Even if it encounters severe bumps during transportation, the fixing rod 40 can evenly distribute the swaying force of the cylinder assembly 21 throughout the entire housing 10 through the synergistic effect of the front and rear reinforcing plates, thus improving stability. The reinforcing member 50 enables the connection point at the front end of the fixing rod 40 to not only possess the basic function of traditional planar fixation but also to withstand multi-directional forces, thereby improving stability. Furthermore, the detachable connection between the fixing rod 40 and the reinforcing member 50, passing through the second reinforcing plate 72, also facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the equipment.

[0054] Possibly, the reinforcing member 50 of the present invention is located between the second cylinder 211 and the third cylinder 212, such as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the reinforcing member 50 includes a body portion 51, a first end portion 52, and a second end portion 53. The first end portion 52 and the second end portion 53 are bent from both ends of the body portion 51 toward the same side, so that a channel 54 is formed between the first end portion 52, the body portion 51, and the second end portion 53. The first end portion 52 and the second end portion 53 are connected to the first reinforcing plate 71. For example, both the first end portion 52 and the second end portion 53 are provided with folded edges. The folded edges are connected to the first reinforcing plate 71 by bolt assemblies and / or snap-fit ​​assemblies and / or welding, etc. In addition, the channel 54 accommodates the water pipe 61 of the clothing processing equipment, and the front end of the fixing rod 40 is installed on the body portion 51.

[0055] The aforementioned water pipe 61 can be the water pipe 61 of the detergent dispensing module. For example, if the detergent dispensing module is located at the rear of the second drum 211 and the third drum 212, and above the first drum 22, it can fully utilize the space of the laundry processing equipment. The water pipe 61 of the detergent dispensing module can extend forward from the portion between the second drum 211 and the third drum 212 to the front of the second drum 211 and the third drum 212, and extend downward to communicate with the first drum 22, the second drum 211, and / or the third drum 212 for dispensing washing water. It should be noted that the aforementioned water pipe 61 may also not be connected to the detergent dispensing module; one end of it can be connected to an external water source, and the other end can be connected to the first drum 22, the second drum 211, and / or the third drum 212. Adjustments to the specific implementation of these water pipe 61 connection methods do not depart from the principles of this invention and are all within the protection scope of this invention.

[0056] Because the first end 52 and the second end 53 bend from both ends of the main body 51 to the same side, a U-shaped bend channel 54 is formed between the first end 52, the main body 51, and the second end 53, thus forming a semi-enclosed channel 54. This not only enhances its own bending resistance but also cleverly utilizes the channel 54 to integrate the routing space of the water pipe 61. The reinforcing member 50 acquires cross-sectional support characteristics similar to an "I-beam," significantly enhancing its resistance to transportation vibrations. Furthermore, this channel 54, through its space reuse design, successfully reduces the additional space required for arrangement while ensuring the structural strength of the reinforcing member 50, and provides a clear pipeline inspection path for future maintenance.

[0057] Possibly, the main body 51 is provided with pipe clamps 62 for fixing water pipes 61. The pipe clamps 62 can be installed on the main body 51 via bolt assemblies and / or snap-fit ​​assemblies. Specifically, the main body 51 has a slot, and the pipe clamps 62 have snap-fits, which are located in the slot. The present invention does not limit the number of pipe clamps 62; it can be adjusted according to the number of water pipes 61. For example, if there are three water pipes 61 in the channel 54, there can also be three pipe clamps 62, with each of the three clamps corresponding to a water pipe 61. The pipe clamps 62 on the reinforcing member 50 not only effectively lock the water pipes 61, preventing them from shifting due to vibration or colliding and wearing with other components during transportation, but also, thanks to the robust characteristics of the reinforcing member 50, ensure the stability of the water pipes 61 throughout transportation and equipment operation.

[0058] Possibly, the reinforcing member 50 has a groove 511 on a first surface (the surface closer to the front plate 11 in the thickness direction), the groove 511 extending toward a second surface opposite to the first surface to form a protrusion 512 on the second surface. The protrusion 512 has a first mounting hole 513 extending from the second surface into the groove 511, and the fixing rod 40 extending from the second surface into the first mounting hole 513. More specifically, the fixing rod 40 is threadedly connected to the first mounting hole 513.

[0059] When the fixing rod 40 is inserted, its force-bearing surface simultaneously receives lateral support from the side wall of the groove 511 and longitudinal support from the protrusion 512, ensuring that the fixing rod 40 remains in the predetermined position. Furthermore, the structure of the groove 511 on one side and the protrusion 512 on the other side, formed by the stamping process, can create a smooth stress transition zone. Combined with the first mounting hole 513 extending from the second side into the groove 511, it forms a double reinforcement effect similar to overlapping edges, which is particularly suitable for the transportation conditions of the clothing handling equipment of the present invention that bears complex loads.

[0060] Possibly, the second surface may also have a first rib 514, with the sidewall of the protrusion 512 connected to the first rib 514. Furthermore, the second surface may also have a second rib 515, located around the protrusion 512, with a first reinforcing groove 516 formed between the second rib 515, the second surface, and the protrusion 512. The first rib 514 acts as a "support" extending from the sidewall of the protrusion 512, significantly improving lateral deformation resistance; the peripheral second rib 515 adds a reinforcing ring to the protrusion 512, converting localized stress into circumferential distributed stress through the first reinforcing groove 516. This combined structure provides dual protection during transport vibrations. When the protrusion 512 is subjected to vertical pressure, the first rib 514 prevents the sidewall from expanding outwards; when subjected to lateral impact, the second rib 515 and the first reinforcing groove 516 absorb energy, thereby achieving multi-dimensional load balance on the reinforcing member 50. Furthermore, a third rib 517 is formed on the second surface, and a second reinforcing groove is formed between the first rib 514, the second surface, and the third rib 517. This further absorbs energy when subjected to lateral impact, improves the structural strength of the reinforcing member 50, and enhances the overall stability of the garment processing equipment.

[0061] Possibly, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6The second reinforcing plate 72 has a receiving groove 721 on its back side, and a second mounting hole on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 721. The rear end of the fixing rod 40 has a limiting cap 41. The fixing rod 40 is positioned in the second mounting hole, and the limiting cap 41 is located outside the second mounting hole, with a width greater than the width of the second mounting hole, thus forming an effective limit to prevent axial movement of the fixing rod 40. When installing the fixing rod 40, it is simply inserted through the outside of the second mounting hole and then screwed directly into the front reinforcing member 50; installation and disassembly are very convenient. The limiting cap 41 does not protrude from the receiving groove 721, thereby avoiding interference between the limiting cap 41 and the surrounding structure, ensuring that the rear of the housing 10 remains flush.

[0062] Furthermore, the garment processing equipment also includes a vibration damping component 80 sleeved on the fixed rod 40. The vibration damping component 80 includes a first part 81 and a second part 82 along its axial direction. The first part 81 is located between the second mounting hole and the fixed rod 40. The diameter of the second part 82 is larger than the diameter of the first part 81. The second part 82 is pressed against the outside of the second mounting hole, and a limiting cap 41 is pressed against the second part 82. The smaller diameter first part 81 forms an elastic buffer layer between the fixed rod 40 and the mounting hole, directly absorbing vibration. The larger diameter second part 82, by increasing the contact area, evenly distributes the impact energy to the surface of the second reinforcing plate 72, thereby further improving the stability of the garment processing equipment. Furthermore, a gasket is pressed between the limiting cap 41 and the second part 82.

[0063] The limiting cap 41 can be a nut, a retaining ring, etc. It is understood that when the limiting cap 41 is annular, its width is greater than the width of the second mounting hole; that is, the diameter of the limiting cap 41 is greater than the diameter of the second mounting hole. Furthermore, it is understood that both the first part 81 and the second part 82 of the vibration damper 80 are hollow cylindrical structures, and the aperture of the second part 82 is greater than the aperture of the first part 81. The vibration damper 80 can be made of rubber, silicone, polyurethane, foam, etc., as long as it can achieve vibration damping and cushioning.

[0064] Possibly, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The connecting member 30 includes a first connecting member 31 and a second connecting member 32, with the first connecting member 31 weighing more than the second connecting member 32. For example, the first connecting member 31 may be made of metal, and the second connecting member 32 may be made of plastic. The first connecting member 31 connects between the second cylinder 211 and the third cylinder 212, and the second connecting member 32 connects between the second cylinder 211 and the third cylinder 212. The first connecting member 31 and the second connecting member 32 are arranged sequentially from front to back, and the fixing rod 40 passes through the second connecting member 32 and the first connecting member 31. When encountering a forward impact, the heavier first connecting member 31 absorbs kinetic energy preferentially; when a rebound vibration occurs, the lighter second connecting member 32 acts as a buffer, ensuring the equipment maintains its balance during transportation.

[0065] The first connecting member 31 can be bolted to the front of the second cylinder 211 and the third cylinder 212 on both sides of the housing 10 in the width direction, and can be located at the rear of the reinforcing member 50. The second connecting member 32 can be bolted to the bottom of the second cylinder 211 and the third cylinder 212 on both sides of the housing 10 in the width direction. It should be noted that the specific installation method of the first connecting member 31 and the second connecting member 32 is only exemplary, and those skilled in the art can adjust the installation method. For example, if the first connecting member 31 and the second connecting member 32 are both connected to the cylinder body of the second cylinder 211 and the third cylinder 212, the connection method can also be replaced by snap-fit ​​or welding connection, etc. As long as the first connecting member 31 and the second connecting member 32 are respectively connected to the second cylinder 211 and the third cylinder 212 and are arranged sequentially from front to back, the adjustment of the specific implementation method does not deviate from the principle of the present invention and is within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0066] Furthermore, the bottom of the first cylinder 22 can be connected to the second reinforcing plate by bolts. Alternatively, a connecting rod can be used to connect the first cylinder to the back of the housing. These possible adjustments do not deviate from the principles of the present invention and are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0067] It should be noted that the above embodiments are merely used to illustrate the principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above structure so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

[0068] For example, as an alternative implementation, the second cylinder 211 and the third cylinder 212 can be staggered.

[0069] For example, as an alternative implementation, the second cylinder 211 and / or the third cylinder 212 may be located below or to the side of the first cylinder 22.

[0070] For example, as an alternative implementation, at least one of the first reinforcing plate 71 and the second reinforcing plate 72 can be omitted. When the first reinforcing plate 71 is omitted, the reinforcing member 50 can be directly connected to the front plate 11. When the second reinforcing plate 72 is omitted, the rear end of the fixing rod 40 can be directly connected to the back plate. As long as both ends of the fixing rod 40 are connected to the back of the reinforcing member 50 and the housing 10 respectively, any adjustments to the specific implementation will not deviate from the principle of the present invention and will be within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0071] For example, as an alternative implementation, the reinforcement 50 may not have a channel 54 for accommodating the water pipe 61, as long as it is a structure independent of the first reinforcement plate 71.

[0072] For example, as an alternative implementation, the pipe clamp 62 can be omitted.

[0073] For example, as an alternative implementation, at least one of the first rib 514, the second rib 515, and the third rib 517 can be omitted.

[0074] For example, as an alternative implementation, the back of the second reinforcing plate 72 may not have a receiving groove 721, but may be a flat plate structure, with the second mounting hole directly provided on the flat plate structure. These adjustments do not deviate from the principle of the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0075] For example, as an alternative implementation, the specific implementation of the fixing rod 40 being mounted on the second reinforcing plate 72 is not fixed. For example, the fixing rod 40 can be directly snapped onto the second mounting plate. These adjustments do not deviate from the principle of the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0076] For example, as an alternative implementation, there may be only one connector 30.

[0077] For example, as an alternative implementation, the weight of the first connector 31 may be less than or equal to the weight of the second connector 32.

[0078] For example, as an alternative implementation, the volumes of the second cylinder 211 and the third cylinder 212 may not be equal.

[0079] For example, as an alternative implementation, the first cylinder 22, the second cylinder 211, and the third cylinder 212 do not have an inner cylinder and are single-cylinder structures.

[0080] For example, as an alternative implementation, although the present invention is described with the cylinder assembly 21 and the first cylinder 22 independently supported on the housing 10, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For instance, the connector 30 may also be connected to the first cylinder 22 so that the second cylinder 211 and the third cylinder 212 are supported on the first cylinder 22. These adjustments do not depart from the principles of the present invention and are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0081] For example, as an alternative implementation, at least one of the bottom plate, top plate, first side plate, and second side plate can be omitted.

[0082] For example, as an alternative implementation, although the present invention is described with the example of the cylinder assembly 21 being connected to the support frame via the first vibration damping component and the first cylinder 22 being connected to the support frame via the second vibration damping component, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. As long as the cylinder assembly 21 and the first cylinder 22 can be independently supported on the housing 10, any adjustments to the specific implementation will not deviate from the principle of the present invention and will be within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0083] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
