[0028] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0029] It should be noted that all actions of obtaining signals, information, or data in the present disclosure are carried out on the premise of complying with the corresponding data protection regulations and policies of the country where the location is located and with the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the present disclosure provides a laundry treatment device, which may include a housing 1, a first cylinder 2, a second cylinder 3, and a transport beam 5. Among them, the housing 1 includes a side wall 11; the first cylinder 2 is disposed inside the housing 1; the second cylinder 3 is disposed inside the housing 1 and above the first cylinder 2; the transport beam 5 is installed between the front ends of the two side walls 11 of the housing 1 in the left-right direction, and in the up-down direction, the transport beam 5 is disposed below the second cylinder 3. The transport beam 5 may be disposed between the first cylinder 2 and the second cylinder 3 or may coincide with the height of a part of the first cylinder 2. The transport beam 5 is detachably connected to the second cylinder 3, and the transport beam 5 has a forward avoidance protrusion 51. The transport beam 5 is used to fix the second cylinder 3 to the housing 1 during transportation and can play a supporting role. The two ends of the transport beam 5 may be respectively connected to the front ends of the two side walls 11 through fasteners such as bolts.

[0031] Through the above technical solution, since components such as a drying device are provided above the first cylinder, which will interfere with the installation of the transport beam, the transport beam is provided with a forward avoidance protrusion to avoid components that interfere with the transport beam, such as the drying device, and / or the first cylinder itself.

[0032] Specifically, the forward protrusion distance of the avoidance protrusion 51 may be 25 mm to 35 mm, specifically 31.5 mm. The forward protrusion distance of the avoidance protrusion 51 can be designed according to the position and size of the components to be avoided, as long as interference with other components can be avoided. The present disclosure does not specifically limit the above distance.

[0033] In the implementation of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 1 , the outer diameter of the first cylinder 2 may be greater than the outer diameter of the second cylinder 3, and the second cylinder 3 is disposed above the side of the first cylinder 2. The present disclosure does not limit the size and position of the first cylinder 2 and the second cylinder 3, and can be adjusted according to actual needs to meet different user requirements.

[0034] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 1 , the laundry treating apparatus may further include a drying device 4. The drying device 4 is at least partially disposed above the side of the first cylinder 2 and is opposite to the second cylinder 3 in position so as to avoid the position of the second cylinder 3. The drying device 4 is communicated with the first cylinder 2 to dry the laundry in the first cylinder 2. The drying device 4 is configured to blow hot air into the first cylinder 2, so that the moisture in the laundry in the first cylinder 2 evaporates rapidly.

[0035] Among them, with reference to Figure 1 , the drying device 4 may include a blower 41 and a drying duct 42. The drying duct 42 is disposed above the front end of the first cylinder 2, and the avoidance protrusion 51 is used to avoid the drying duct 42. One end of the drying duct 42 is communicated with the blower 41, and the other end of the drying duct 42 is communicated with the first cylinder 2. The blower 41 has a motor and blades. The motor drives the blades to rotate, thereby generating an air flow, and the air flow enters the drying duct 42. Specifically, the conventional transport beam 5 does not have the avoidance protrusion 51, and the drying duct 42 located above the front end of the first cylinder 2 will interfere with the conventional transport beam 5. The transport beam 5 of the present disclosure has a forward avoidance protrusion 51, and the avoidance protrusion 51 can avoid the drying duct 42 to facilitate the installation of the transport beam 5.

[0036] Further, with reference to Figure 1 , the drying device 4 may further include a heating element 43 disposed in the drying duct 42. The air flow in the drying duct 42 is heated by the heating element 43, and the heated air flow enters the first cylinder 2, thereby drying the laundry in the first cylinder 2.

[0037] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , the transport beam 5 may be provided with mounting holes, and the second cylinder 3 is mounted to the mounting holes through transport bolts 31. After the second cylinder 3 is mounted on the transport beam 5, the transport beam 5 can be mounted on the housing 1 by means of hoisting or the like to complete the installation of the second cylinder 3.

[0038] Further, with reference to Figure 2 , a groove 52 may be formed on the front end surface of the transport beam 5, thereby forming a reinforcing structure to increase the structural strength of the transport beam 5.

[0039] As an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 , a mounting portion 53 for mounting a wire harness may be provided at the rear end of the transport beam 5. Wires can be routed at the rear end of the transport beam 5 so that the wire harness is hidden at the rear end of the transport beam 5 to make the installation structure neat.

[0040] Specifically, the width of the transport beam 5 can be 40 mm to 60 mm, specifically 50 mm. The width of the transport beam 5 can be adjusted according to the distance between the first cylinder 2 and the second cylinder 3, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0041] In the above detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, in which specific aspects in which the present disclosure can be practiced are shown by way of illustration. In this regard, terms indicating directions or expressing positional relationships such as "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. can be used with reference to the orientation of the described figures. Since the components of the described device can be positioned in a plurality of different orientations, the directional terms can be used for illustrative purposes and are not restrictive. It should be understood that other aspects can be utilized and structural or logical changes can be made without departing from the concept of the present disclosure. Therefore, the following detailed description should not be taken in a limiting sense.

[0042] It should be understood that unless otherwise specifically stated, the features of some embodiments of the various aspects of the present disclosure described herein can be combined with each other. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any one of the related listed items and any combination of any two or more of them; similarly, "at least one of..." includes any one of the related listed items and any combination of any two or more of them.

[0043] It should be understood that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "joined", "attached", "mounted", "connected", "linked", "fixed", etc. used in the embodiments of the present disclosure should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or communication with each other; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and can be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly limited. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0044] In addition, the term "above" as used herein with respect to a component, element, or layer of material formed "above" or located "above" a surface can be used to mean that the component, element, or layer of material is "indirectly" positioned (e.g., placed, formed, deposited, etc.) on the surface such that one or more additional components, elements, or layers are disposed between the surface and the component, element, or layer of material. However, the term "above" as used herein with respect to a component, element, or layer of material formed "above" or located "above" a surface can also optionally have a specific meaning: the component, element, or layer of material is "directly" positioned (e.g., placed, formed, deposited, etc.) on the surface, e.g., in direct contact with the surface.

[0045] Although terms such as "first", "second", and "third" may be used herein to describe various components, elements, regions, layers, or sections, these components, elements, regions, layers, or sections are not limited to these terms. Rather, these terms are only used to distinguish one component, element, region, layer, or section from another. Thus, the first component, element, region, layer, or section mentioned in the examples described herein could also be termed the second component, element, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the examples. Additionally, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0046] It should be understood that spatial relative terms, such as "above", "upper", "below", and "lower", are used herein to describe the relationship of one element shown in the figures to another element. In addition to the orientation depicted in the figures, such spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figures is flipped, an element described as "above" or "upper" relative to another element will then be "below" or "lower" relative to that other element. Thus, the term "above" encompasses both the above and below orientations depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may have other orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative terms used herein should be interpreted accordingly.

[0047] In addition, the word "exemplary" is used herein to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any aspect or design described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as advantageous over other aspects or designs. Rather, the word exemplary is intended to present concepts in a concrete fashion. As used herein, the term "or" is intended to mean an inclusive "or" rather than an exclusive "or". That is, unless specified otherwise, or clear from the context, "X applies A or B" is intended to mean any of the natural inclusive permutations. That is, if X applies A; X applies B; or X applies both A and B, then "X applies A or B" is satisfied under any one of the foregoing instances. Additionally, unless specified otherwise or clear from the context that it refers to the singular form, the articles "a" and "an" as used in this application and the appended claims are generally understood to mean "one or more".

[0048] Likewise, although the present disclosure has been shown and described with respect to one or more implementations, equivalent variations and modifications will occur to those skilled in the art upon reading and understanding the specification and the drawings. The present disclosure includes all such modifications and variations and is limited only by the scope of the claims.
