The driving mechanism 4 can drive the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32 to move along the axial direction of the door seal 3 toward the direction close to the access port 11, so that the first elastic portion 31 can shrink along the axial direction and the second elastic portion 32 can stretch along the axial direction. When the temperature is higher than the first degree Celsius, the hardness of the second elastic portion 32 is smaller. The driving mechanism 4 can make the door seal 3 use the second elastic portion 32 to shrink the first elastic portion 31, thereby making the overall hardness of the door seal 3 smaller, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the drum assembly 2 transmitted to the casing 1 during washing, thereby reducing the generation of noise, and reducing the vibration damage to the casing 1.

[0078] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the driving mechanism 4 may be connected to the second elastic portion 32. The driving mechanism 4 may also be connected to the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32.

[0079] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 4 can drive the first elastic part 31 and the second elastic part 32 to move along the axial direction of the door seal 3 toward the direction close to the loading port 21, so that the first elastic part 31 can be stretched along the axial direction and the second elastic part 32 can be contracted along the axial direction. When the temperature is lower than the first degree Celsius, the hardness of the first elastic part 31 is smaller, and the driving mechanism 4 can make the door seal 3 use the first elastic part 31 to make the second elastic part 32 contract, thereby making the overall hardness of the door seal 3 smaller, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude transmitted from the drum assembly 2 to the housing 1 during washing, thereby reducing the generation of noise, and reducing the vibration damage to the housing 1.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32 are made of different materials, and the driving mechanism 4 can drive the door seal 3 to use the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32 of different materials, so that the door seal 3 can adapt to different ambient temperatures, and under different temperature environments, the door seal 3 can switch to corresponding materials, so that the hardness of the door seal 3 is lower, and the vibration amplitude of the drum assembly 2 transmitted to the casing 1 when washing clothes under different temperature environments can be reduced, thereby reducing the noise emitted by the casing 1 and reducing damage to the casing 1.

[0081] In some embodiments, the clothing processing device may include a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor may be disposed in the housing 1. The temperature sensor may be used to detect the temperature on the door seal 3. The temperature sensor may be electrically connected to the drive mechanism 4. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the door seal 3 is higher than a first degree Celsius, the temperature sensor may send a first signal. The drive mechanism 4 can drive the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32 to move along the axial direction of the door seal 3 toward the access port 11 according to the first signal, so that the first elastic portion 31 can shrink along the axial direction, and the second elastic portion 32 can stretch along the axial direction, thereby making the overall hardness of the door seal 3 smaller, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the drum assembly 2 transmitted to the housing 1 during washing, thereby reducing the generation of noise, and reducing the vibration damage to the housing 1.
