[0049] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "height direction", "up", "down", "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "front", "back", etc. indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the embodiments of the present application.
[0050] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.
[0051] An embodiment of the present application provides a base device 10 .
[0052] It should be noted that the application scenario of the base device 10 is not limited. In the embodiment of the present application, the base device 10 is described as being applied to a clothing processing device as an example.
[0053] The present application also provides a clothes processing device. Figure 1 and Figure 2The clothing processing device includes a first barrel assembly 20 and a base device 10 of any embodiment of the present application.
[0054] It is understandable that the specific form of the clothes processing device is not limited. Exemplarily, the clothes processing device can at least be used to dry clothes.
[0055] See also Figures 3 to 12 The base device 10 includes a base 11 and a compressor 13.
[0056] The base 11 has an air duct, which is used to communicate with the clothes processing chamber of the clothes processing device.
[0057] Specifically, the air duct is used for air circulation, and the air flow can circulate between the air duct and the clothes processing chamber to dry the clothes.
[0058] For example, see Figure 1 The first barrel assembly 20 has a first laundry processing chamber 21 .
[0059] The air duct is communicated with the first laundry processing chamber 21 . That is, air flow can circulate between the air duct and the first laundry processing chamber 21 .
[0060] The following is a brief description of the drying process and principle of the clothes processing device in the embodiment of the present application.
[0061] When the laundry processing device is drying clothes, a dry hot air flow enters the first laundry processing chamber 21 through the air duct, flows over the surface of the wet clothes, exchanges heat and moisture with the wet clothes, absorbs moisture from the clothes, and turns into a moist hot air flow. The moist hot air flow leaves the first laundry processing chamber 21 and enters the air duct. After condensation and dehumidification, it forms a low-temperature dry air flow. After further heating, it forms a dry hot air flow, which then enters the laundry processing chamber again. This cycle operates in this way, achieving continuous and efficient drying of clothes.
[0062] It should be noted that the low-temperature dry airflow is relative to the moist hot airflow, and the temperature of the low-temperature dry airflow is lower than that of the moist hot airflow. The low temperature in the embodiment of the present application may be room temperature.
[0063] Exemplarily, the base device 10 further includes a heat exchange component, which is used to exchange heat with the airflow.
[0064] Exemplarily, the heat exchange component includes an evaporator and a condenser, which are arranged in the air duct. The evaporator is arranged upstream of the condenser along the flow direction of the air flow. The evaporator condenses and dehumidifies the air flow, and the condenser heats the air flow.
[0065] The compressor 13 is used to compress the refrigerant. The compressor 13 has an air intake and an air exhaust port. The compressor 13 sucks in refrigerant with a lower temperature and lower pressure from the air intake port, drives the piston to compress the refrigerant through the operation of the motor, and outputs the refrigerant with increased temperature and pressure from the exhaust port.
[0066] It can be understood that refrigerant, also known as coolant or snow seed, is the medium substance used to complete the heat exchange cycle.
[0067] Exemplarily, the compressor 13, the evaporator and the condenser are connected through a refrigerant circulation pipeline, the air intake of the compressor 13 is connected to the outlet of the evaporator, and the exhaust port of the compressor 13 is connected to the inlet of the condenser, so as to form a refrigerant circulation loop; after the compressor 13 compresses the refrigerant, the refrigerant enters the condenser, the condenser cools the refrigerant, and the evaporator heats the refrigerant, and the heated refrigerant enters the compressor 13 again, and the cycle continues.
[0068] The drying process and principle of the clothing processing equipment are as follows: the compressor 13 sucks in low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, compresses it and discharges it in high-pressure gaseous state, and the discharged high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser. The refrigerant is cooled by the air flow around the condenser and condensed into high-pressure liquid (at the same time, heat is transferred to the surrounding air). That is, the air flow around the condenser will be heated and heated to form a dry hot air flow entering the first clothing processing chamber 21; the high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through the throttling device and is throttled and decompressed to become a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase mixture. The gas-liquid two-phase mixture enters the evaporator, and the liquid refrigerant therein evaporates and cools in the evaporator (at the same time, absorbing heat from the surrounding air). That is, the air flow around the evaporator will be cooled and cooled to form a low-temperature dry air flow, and the low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is sucked in by the compressor 13 again and pressurized. This cycle is repeated continuously to realize heat exchange, so as to achieve continuous and efficient drying of clothes.
[0069] Specifically, the base 11 includes a bottom wall 111 , the bottom wall 111 has a plurality of mounting structures 1113 , the mounting structures 1113 have first supporting surfaces 1113 a , and the first supporting surfaces 1113 a of at least two mounting structures 1113 are not coplanar.
[0070] The first support surfaces 1113a of at least two mounting structures 1113 are not coplanar, which means that the first support surfaces 1113a of at least two mounting structures 1113 are arranged on different planes, that is, they are not located on the same plane, and there is a height difference between at least two mounting structures 1113 along the height direction of the base device 10.
[0071] It can be understood that the first support surfaces 1113a of at least two mounting structures 1113 are not coplanar. It can be that the first support surfaces 1113a of each mounting structure 1113 are not coplanar, or that some of the first support surfaces 1113 are not coplanar, and the first support surfaces 1113a of some of the mounting structures 1113 are coplanar.
[0072] It should be noted that the number of the mounting structures 1113 can be two, or three or more.
[0073] For example, see Figure 11 and Figure 12 The number of the mounting structures 1113 may be three. The first support surfaces 1113a of the three mounting structures 1113 are not coplanar.
[0074] The compressor 13 is disposed on the top side of the bottom wall 111 and is directly or indirectly connected to the mounting structure 1113 .
[0075] Specifically, the compressor 13 can be directly connected to the mounting structure 1113. In this case, the compressor 13 can be connected to the first support surface 1113a to achieve connection with the bottom wall 111. The first support surface 1113a directly provides support for the compressor 13. The compressor 13 can also be indirectly connected to the mounting structure 1113, that is, the compressor 13 is not in direct contact with the bottom wall 111, and the compressor 13 is connected to the bottom wall 111 through a transfer structure. In this case, the first support surface 1113a can indirectly provide support for the compressor 13 to increase the connection stability of the compressor 13.
[0076] It can be understood that in the embodiment where the compressor 13 is directly or indirectly connected to the mounting structure 1113, the compressor 13 can adapt to the height difference between the mounting structures 1113 by adjusting its own structure, or it can adapt to the height difference between the mounting structures 1113 through a transfer structure, thereby achieving stable installation of the compressor 13.
[0077] The base device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application has a height difference formed by at least two non-coplanar first supporting surfaces 1113a. On the one hand, it can reduce the manufacturing requirements and manufacturing difficulty of the base 11, and can also increase the structural strength of the base 11 to provide sufficient structural support for the compressor 13; on the other hand, the non-coplanar design can also make it easier for the base 11 to avoid other components of the clothing processing equipment, so as to realize the installation of various components of the clothing processing equipment and make the clothing processing equipment compact.
[0078] In some embodiments, in the plane projection of the median vertical plane of the clothing processing chamber, the position of each first support surface 1113a decreases successively from the axis of the clothing processing chamber to the direction away from the axis; wherein the median vertical plane is a vertical plane passing through the axis of the clothing processing chamber.
[0079] It should be noted that the direction from the axis of the clothes processing chamber to the direction away from the axis refers to the direction in which the lateral distance between each first supporting surface 1113a and the axis of the clothes processing chamber becomes larger.
[0080] That is, the first supporting surface 1113a close to the axis of the laundry processing chamber is located higher than the first supporting surface 1113a far from the axis of the laundry processing chamber.
[0081] In this embodiment, the changes in the height of each first support surface 1113a can facilitate the formation of a relatively uniform height difference, which is adapted to the components of the clothing processing equipment. For example, the lower first barrel assembly 20 is avoided and adapted to the outer contour of the first barrel assembly 20, making the structure of the clothing processing equipment more compact.
[0082] It can be understood that the axis of the laundry treatment chamber may be the axis of the first laundry treatment chamber 21 .
[0083] In some embodiments, the base assembly 10 includes an adapter 12 including a plurality of first support portions 1211 and at least one second support portion 1212 , wherein the first support portion 1211 is connected to the first support surface 1113 a . The compressor 13 is disposed on the top side of the adapter 12 and connected to the second support portion 1212 .
[0084] The adapter 12 is used to connect the compressor 13 to the base 11 , that is, the compressor 13 is not directly connected to the base 11 , which helps to reduce the probability of the vibration of the compressor 13 being directly transmitted to the base 11 and affecting the working stability of the base device 10 .
[0085] Specifically, when the mounting structure 1113 is docked with the adapter 12 , the first support surface 1113 a contacts the adapter 12 and provides mounting support for the adapter 12 .
[0086] Specifically, the first support portion 1211 is connected to the first support surface 1113a, thereby achieving the connection between the adapter 12 and the bottom wall 111. The mounting structure 1113 can provide support for the first support portion 1211, and further provide support for the adapter 12.
[0087] The compressor 13 is connected to the second support portion 1212 , that is, the compressor 13 is installed by being connected to the adapter 12 . The adapter 12 isolates the compressor 13 , and the compressor 13 is not directly connected to the bottom wall 111 .
[0088] Specifically, the compressor 13 is connected to the second support portion 1212 of the adapter 12, and the weight of the compressor 13 is transferred to the second support portion 1212, and then to the first support portion 1211, and the first support portion 1211 is further transferred to the first support surface 1113, so that the bottom wall 111 disperses the pressure of the adapter 12 without direct contact with the compressor 13, supports the compressor 13, increases the docking stability of the compressor 13, the adapter 12, and the bottom wall 111, and increases the overall structural stability of the base device 10.
[0089] It is understandable that in the related art, the compressor is directly connected to the base, for example, by bolts or screws. The compressor is fixed to the compressor installation area of the base, and the compressor installation area of the base needs to be designed and manufactured into a flat structure. This places high demands on the compressor installation area, increasing the difficulty of designing and manufacturing the base. In addition, when achieving the installation and docking of the heat exchange component, the compressor, and the barrel component in the clothing processing device, the structure of the base usually needs to be adaptively processed to facilitate installation and increase the compactness of the layout of the clothing processing device. The flat structure is not conducive to adapting to changes in different installation environments, and the adaptability range of the base is small.
[0090] In this embodiment, the compressor 13 is disposed on top of the adapter 12 and connected via the second support portion 1212. The compressor 13 is not directly connected to the base 11. Instead, the compressor 13 is supported on the second support portion 1212, and the first support portion 1211 is connected to the first support surface 1113a. Thus, the mounting structure 1113 on the base 11 provides support for the compressor 13 and the adapter 12, thereby increasing the structural stability of the base device 10. In addition, the first support surfaces 1113a of at least two mounting structures 1113 on the base 11 are not coplanar, and the adapter 12 can adapt the height difference between the mounting structures 1113 to achieve stable installation of the compressor 13. This reduces structural restrictions on the area of the base 11 corresponding to the installation of the compressor 13, reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the base 11, and increases the design flexibility of the base 11, so that the base device 10 can better adapt to the installation requirements of clothing processing appliances of different models or sizes.
[0091] For example, in an application scenario where a drum assembly of a clothing processing device is provided under the base device 10, the structure of the base 11 can be roughly arc-shaped or an inclined slope structure to avoid the drum assembly, so that the first support surfaces 1113a of at least two mounting structures 1113 are not coplanar. At this time, the setting of the adapter 12 can adapt to the height difference between the mounting structures 1113 to achieve stable installation of the compressor 13, thereby increasing the universality of the base 11.
[0092] For some examples, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The clothes processing device includes a box body, a second barrel assembly 30 and a frame 40 arranged in the box body.
[0093] The frame 40 is a main supporting structure for fixing and supporting other components of the clothes processing device.
[0094] The base device 10 is disposed on the frame 40 , and the base device 10 and its load transmit the force to the frame 40 .
[0095] For example, in some embodiments, the rack 40 includes at least four columns, each of which extends in a height direction and is located at the four vertices of a quadrilateral in horizontal projection.
[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, the height direction is Figure 1 The directions shown in include both directions from top to bottom and from bottom to top.
[0097] For example, the base device 10 can be connected to the four pillars respectively. The base device 10 is located in the area defined by the four pillars.
[0098] The base device 10 divides the space in the box into at least a first space and a second space along the height direction. The first barrel assembly 20 is disposed in the first space, and the second barrel assembly 30 is disposed in the second space.
[0099] In some embodiments, the first laundry processing chamber 21 can at least dry the laundry. The second drum assembly 30 has a second laundry processing chamber 31, which can at least wash the laundry.
[0100] In some embodiments, the first space is located above the second space, that is, the position of the first barrel assembly 20 is higher than the position of the second barrel assembly 30 .
[0101] In some other embodiments, the first space may also be located below the second space, that is, the position of the second barrel assembly 30 is higher than the position of the first barrel assembly 20 .
[0102] The number of the second supporting portion 1212 may be one or more.
[0103] For some examples, see Figures 3 to 6 There are multiple second support parts 1212, and the second support parts 1212 have second support surfaces 1212a for connecting to the compressor 13. The second support surfaces 1212a of each second support part 1212 are arranged on the same plane.
[0104] Specifically, the second support surface 1212 a is used to connect with the compressor 13 , and the weight of the compressor 13 is transferred to the second support portion 1212 through the second support, and then to the first support portion 1211 , and finally to the bottom wall 111 .
[0105] It should be noted that the second supporting surfaces 1212 a of each second supporting portion 1212 are coplanar, which means that each second supporting surface 1212 a is located on the same plane.
[0106] In other words, the connection points between the compressor 13 and the second support portion 1212 are coplanar. This allows the connection points of the compressor 13 and the second support portion 1212 to be located on the same plane, increasing the installation stability of the compressor 13. Furthermore, when the installation positions of the compressor 13 and the adapter 12 need to be adjusted, this can be done within the same plane, eliminating the need for complex three-dimensional adjustments. Furthermore, the design of multiple second support portions 1212 facilitates distributing the weight of the compressor 13 across the multiple second support portions 1212, increasing load-bearing reliability.
[0107] For some examples, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The second supporting surface 1212a is located lower than any one of the first supporting surfaces 1113a.
[0108] It can be understood that the position of the second support surface 1212a is lower than any one of the first support surfaces 1113a, which means that in the height direction of the base device 10, the second support surface 1212a is located at the bottom side of any one of the first support surfaces 1113a, that is, there is a height difference between the first support surface 1113a and the second support surface 1212a.
[0109] In this embodiment, the height difference design between the second support surface 1212a and the first support surface 1113a is convenient for increasing the structural strength of the adapter 12, and the compressor 13 is connected to the second support surface 1212a, which facilitates the installation of the compressor 13 at a lower position. The second support surface 1212a and the first support surface 1113a can disperse the weight of the compressor 13, and are conducive to lowering the overall center of gravity of the base device 10 and increasing the structural stability of the base device 10.
[0110] For some examples, see Figure 6 Any portion of the second support portion 1212 is spaced apart from the bottom wall 111 so that the second support portion 1212 is in a suspended state.
[0111] It should be noted that any portion of the second support portion 1212 is spaced apart from the bottom wall 111 , which means that any portion of the second support portion 1212 does not contact the bottom wall 111 , so that the second support portion 1212 is in a suspended state.
[0112] It is understandable that when the compressor 13 vibrates, the second support portion 1212 will have a certain amplitude, but the suspended second support portion 1212 does not contact the bottom wall 111. Therefore, the second support portion 1212 will hardly hit the bottom wall 111, thereby increasing the operating stability of the base device 10.
[0113] In this embodiment, the suspended second support portion 1212 can effectively isolate the connection position between the compressor 13 and the second support portion 1212 from the bottom wall 111, thereby reducing the vibration transmitted from the compressor 13 to the bottom wall 111, reducing noise transmission, and increasing the operating stability of the base device 10.
[0114] The specific structure of the compressor 13 is not limited.
[0115] For some examples, see Figure 3 The compressor 13 includes a compressor body 131 and a connecting ear 132 protruding from the circumferential outer side of the compressor body 131 , and the connecting ear 132 connects the compressor body 131 and the second support portion 1212 .
[0116] Specifically, the compressor body 131 can be used to implement the compression function of the compressor 13 to compress the refrigerant, and the connecting ear 132 is used to implement the connection function to connect the compressor 13 and the adapter 12 together.
[0117] In this embodiment, the connection between the compressor 13 and the adapter 12 is achieved by connecting the connecting ear 132 and the second support part 1212. The connection is simple and the disassembly is convenient. In addition, the vibration and load generated by the compressor body 131 during operation can be transmitted to the second support part 1212 through the connecting ear 132, which makes it easier for the adapter 12 to carry the compressor 13 and absorb part of the vibration, thereby increasing the operating stability of the base device 10.
[0118] In some embodiments, there are multiple connecting ears 132, and the multiple connecting ears 132 support the compressor body 131. The bottom end of the compressor body 131 is spaced apart from the adapter 12 so that the compressor body 131 is in a suspended state.
[0119] It can be understood that the bottom end of the compressor body 131 is spaced apart from the adapter 12 , which means that the bottom end of the compressor body 131 does not contact the adapter 12 , and the compressor body 131 is supported by the connecting ear 132 .
[0120] In this embodiment, multiple connecting ears 132 can facilitate the even distribution of the weight of the compressor body 131 and the vibration generated during operation, thereby extending the service life of the compressor 13. When the compressor body 131 is in a suspended state, the space between the bottom end of the compressor body 131 and the adapter 12 can facilitate airflow to dissipate heat from the compressor 13. At the same time, the space between the bottom end of the compressor body 131 and the adapter 12 can also receive the condensate generated on the surface of the compressor 13 during operation, thereby increasing the working reliability of the compressor 13.
[0121] In addition, the suspended compressor body 131 can also reduce the contact area between the compressor 13 and the adapter 12, and can reduce the vibration and noise transmission path. The weight and vibration of the compressor 13 during operation are transmitted through the connecting ear 132, thereby increasing the overall operating stability of the base device 10.
[0122] Of course, in other embodiments, the compressor body 131 may not be in a suspended state, that is, the bottom end of the compressor body 131 is in contact with the adapter 12 .
[0123] In some embodiments, the base device 10 includes one or more first connecting members, and the first connecting members connect the connecting ears 132 and the second supporting portion 1212 .
[0124] In this embodiment, the connection between the connecting ear 132 and the second support portion 1212 is achieved through the first connecting member, thereby achieving the connection between the compressor 13 and the adapter 12, thereby increasing the connection stability between the compressor 13 and the adapter 12.
[0125] For example, see Figures 3 to 7 The second support portion 1212 is provided with a first connecting hole 1212 b, and the first connecting member is passed through the connecting ear 132 and the first connecting hole 1212 b to achieve the connection between the connecting ear 132 and the second support portion 1212 .
[0126] The specific structure of the first connecting member is not limited. For example, the first connecting member can be a screw, or a combination of a bolt and a nut.
[0127] In some embodiments, the base device 10 includes a vibration damper, which is clamped between the connecting ear 132 and the second support portion 1212 , and the first connecting member passes through the second support portion 1212 , the vibration damper and the connecting ear 132 along the height direction of the base device 10 .
[0128] It should be noted that the vibration damping component refers to a component whose material itself has a vibration damping effect, for example, it is made of rubber, silicone, felt and other materials.
[0129] Specifically, the vibration damper isolates the connecting ear 132 and the second support part 1212, and the vibration damper is located on the force transmission path of the connecting ear 132 and the second support part 1212. Specifically, at least part of the gravity of the compressor body 131 is transmitted to the vibration damper through the connecting ear 132, and the vibration damper transmits the gravity and vibration it receives to the second support part 1212. Part of the vibration generated by the compressor body 131 is absorbed by the vibration damper, which can reduce the vibration and noise transmitted to the second support part 1212.
[0130] In this embodiment, the vibration damper can absorb and disperse the vibration energy generated by the operation of the compressor 13, reduce the noise generated by the operation of the compressor 13, and the vibration damper can also reduce the mechanical stress at the connection point between the connecting ear 132 and the second support part 1212, thereby increasing the connection reliability.
[0131] In the embodiment where the compressor body 131 is in a suspended state, the cooperation between the vibration damping member and the first connecting member can not only increase the vibration reduction reliability, but also increase the overall installation stability of the compressor 13 and reduce the displacement or shaking of the compressor 13 caused by vibration.
[0132] For some examples, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In an embodiment where the second support portion 1212 is in a suspended state, the bottom wall 111 is provided with an avoidance hole 1113b, and in the orthographic projection of a plane perpendicular to the height direction of the base device 10, the first connecting member is located within the projection range of the avoidance hole 1113b.
[0133] It can be understood that the first connecting member is located within the projection range of the avoidance hole 1113b. It can be that the first connecting member does not pass through the avoidance hole 1113b, but the projection range of the first connecting member is located within the avoidance hole 1113b; it can also be that the first connecting member passes through the avoidance hole 1113b, and the projection range of the first connecting member is located within the avoidance hole 1113b; but in both cases, the first connecting member does not contact the hole wall of the avoidance hole 1113b, that is, it does not contact the bottom wall 111.
[0134] In this embodiment, the design of the avoidance hole 1113b can, on the one hand, reduce the probability of the first connecting member interfering with the bottom wall 111 when connecting the connecting ear 132 and the second support portion 1212. On the other hand, it can also prevent the first connecting member from contacting the bottom wall 111, thereby reducing the probability of the vibration of the compressor 13 being transmitted to the bottom wall 111 through the first connecting member, thereby increasing the overall stability of the base device 10.
[0135] The manner in which the first connecting member connects the connecting ear 132 and the second supporting portion 1212 is not limited.
[0136] Exemplarily, the first connecting member can pass through the connecting ear 132 and the first connecting hole 1212b from top to bottom to connect the connecting ear 132 with the second support portion 1212. At this time, the bottom end of the first connecting member can be passed through the avoidance hole 1113b, or can be located between the avoidance hole 1113b and the first connecting hole 1212b.
[0137] In other embodiments, the first connecting member can pass through the avoidance hole 1113b, the first connecting hole 1212b, and the connecting ear 132 from bottom to top to connect the connecting ear 132 with the second support portion 1212. At this time, the avoidance hole 1113b provides a passing space for the first connecting member and prevents the first connecting member from contacting the bottom wall 111.
[0138] In some embodiments, the base device 10 includes one or more second connecting members, and the second connecting members connect the first supporting portion 1211 and the first supporting surface 1113 a.
[0139] Exemplarily, the first support portion 1211 is provided with one or more second connecting holes 1211b, and the second connecting member is passed through the second connecting hole 1211b and the first supporting surface 1113a to connect the first support portion 1211 with the first supporting surface 1113a, thereby realizing the connection between the adapter 12 and the bottom wall 111.
[0140] In this embodiment, the second connecting member connects the first supporting portion 1211 and the first supporting surface 1113a, which can increase the connection stability between the adapter 12 and the bottom wall 111, thereby facilitating the stable installation of the compressor 13 and increasing the overall structural stability of the base device 10.
[0141] The specific structure of the second connecting member is not limited. For example, the second connecting member may be a screw.
[0142] It is understandable that, in the process of installing the compressor 13, the adapter 12 and the bottom wall 111, the adapter 12 and the compressor 13 may be assembled into a pre-assembled whole by using the first connector, and then the pre-assembled whole is placed on the bottom wall 111, and the bottom wall 111 and the adapter 12 are connected by the second connector, thereby achieving the assembly of the three. Alternatively, the adapter 12 may be placed on the bottom wall 111 first, and the bottom wall 111 and the adapter 12 may be connected by the second connector, and then the compressor 13 may be placed on the top side of the adapter 12, and the connecting ear 132 and the second support portion 1212 may be connected by the first connector to connect the compressor 13 and the adapter 12, thereby achieving the assembly of the three.
[0143] For some examples, see Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6At least one mounting structure 1113 includes a positioning protrusion 1114, the positioning protrusion 1114 protrudes from the first supporting surface 1113a, the first supporting portion 1211 is provided with a positioning hole 1211a, and the positioning protrusion 1114 is passed through the positioning hole 1211a.
[0144] In this embodiment, the cooperation between positioning protrusion 1114 and positioning hole 1211a facilitates precise positioning between first support portion 1211 and mounting structure 1113, reducing installation deviation. Furthermore, positioning protrusion 1114 inserted into positioning hole 1211a also limits the movement of first support portion 1211, increasing connection stability. Furthermore, manual alignment of first support portion 1211 and mounting structure 1113 is eliminated, enabling quick and accurate assembly.
[0145] For some examples, see Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 , multiple first support parts 1211 and at least one second support part 1212 are connected to form a ring structure 121.
[0146] The annular structure 121 surrounds the outer circumference of the compressor body 131 , and the connecting ear 132 is connected to the second support portion 1212 .
[0147] In this embodiment, the annular structure 121 can surround the outer circumference of the compressor body 131 to form a continuous support structure. The weight of the compressor body 131 can be transferred to the first support portion 1211 through the second support portion 1212, and then to the bottom wall 111, thereby effectively supporting the compressor 13, reducing the excessive burden on a single support point, and increasing load-bearing stability. In addition, the annular structure 121 has high structural strength and can adapt to the shape of the compressor 13, increasing the compactness of the layout and facilitating docking with the compressor 13 in a smaller space.
[0148] For some examples, see Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 There are multiple second support portions 1212, and each first support portion 1211 and each second support portion 1212 are alternately arranged in sequence along the circumference of the annular structure 121. There are multiple connecting ears 132, and at least one first support portion 1211 is arranged between two adjacent connecting ears 132.
[0149] It should be noted that the first support portions 1211 and the second support portions 1212 are alternately arranged in sequence along the circumference of the annular structure 121, which means that along the circumference of the annular structure 121, the second support portions 1212 are arranged on both adjacent sides of any first support portion 1211, and the first support portions 1211 are arranged on both adjacent sides of any two second support portions 1212.
[0150] For example, see Figure 7 , the number of the first supporting parts 1211 is three, and the number of the second supporting parts 1212 is three.
[0151] In this embodiment, the alternating arrangement of first support portions 1211 and second support portions 1212 more evenly distributes the weight of compressor 13, balancing the pressure exerted on the first and second support portions 1211, 1212, and improving overall load-bearing stability. Furthermore, a first support portion 1211 is provided between two adjacent connecting ears 132. The first support portion 1211 is not connected to the connecting ears 132 and acts as a buffer zone, absorbing and dispersing vibrations generated by the operation of compressor 13 and reducing noise.
[0152] For some examples, see Figure 5 and Figure 7 The adapter 12 includes an extension structure 122, which includes a plate portion 1221 and a side surrounding portion 1222. The side surrounding portion 1222 is arranged around the edge of the plate portion 1221, and the top end of the side surrounding portion 1222 is positioned higher than the top surface of the plate portion 1221. The top end of the side surrounding portion 1222 is connected to the radial inner edge of the annular structure 121.
[0153] In this embodiment, the arrangement of the side surrounding portion 1222 and the plate portion 1221 can increase the structural strength of the adapter 12. The top end of the side surrounding portion 1222 is positioned higher than the top surface of the plate portion 1221. The height difference between the side surrounding portion 1222 and the plate portion 1221 can also serve as a guide. When the compressor 13 is running, the condensate generated on the surface can be guided to the plate portion 1221 through the side surrounding portion 1222, thereby preventing the condensate from contacting the first connecting member and / or the second connecting member, thereby reducing the corrosion probability of the first connecting member and / or the second connecting member.
[0154] In the embodiment where the compressor body 131 is suspended, the compressor body 131 and the plate portion 1221 are spaced apart along the height direction of the base assembly 10. That is, the compressor body 131 does not contact the plate portion 1221. In this case, the overall weight of the compressor 13 is transferred to the second support portion 1212 via the connecting ears 132, and then to the first support portion 1211 and the plate portion 1221. The plate portion 1221 can increase the structural strength of the adapter 12. The separation of the plate portion 1221 from the compressor body 131 not only facilitates heat dissipation from the compressor 13, but also reduces the contact area between the compressor 13 and the adapter 12, thereby reducing vibration transmission. Furthermore, condensate generated on the surface of the compressor 13 is directed through the side enclosures 1222 to the plate portion 1221. The plate portion 1221 can receive the condensate or direct it to another structure for receiving the condensate.
[0155] In an embodiment where the compressor body 131 is not suspended, the bottom end of the compressor body 131 may be supported on the plate portion 1221 . The plate portion 1221 may provide stable support for the compressor body 131 and reduce the pressure on the second support portion 1212 .
[0156] For some examples, see Figure 5 The bottom wall 111 has a liquid collecting groove 1113c, and the adapter 12 is provided with a through hole 122a connected to the liquid collecting groove 1113c. The adapter 12 can receive the condensate of the compressor 13 and guide the received condensate to the liquid collecting groove 1113c through the through hole 122a.
[0157] It is understandable that during the operation of the compressor 13 or other components of the clothing processing equipment, condensation may be generated on the surface of the compressor. The condensation generated during the operation of other components of the clothing processing equipment can be transferred to the compressor under the influence of the airflow and adhere to the surface of the compressor.
[0158] The compressor 13 is arranged on the top side of the adapter 12. The condensate attached to its surface can be received by the adapter 12 and connected to the liquid collecting tank 1113c on the bottom wall 111 through the through hole 122a, so that the condensate is collected in the liquid collecting tank 1113c, thereby reducing the probability of the condensate accumulating in the base 11 or dripping onto other parts of the clothing processing device and causing safety hazards.
[0159] In this embodiment, the provision of the through hole 122a and the liquid collecting groove 1113c can effectively collect the condensate generated during the operation of the compressor 13, reduce the impact on the operation of the compressor 13 and other components in the clothing processing device, and improve the overall performance of the base device 10.
[0160] It should be noted that the condensate generated on the outer surface of the compressor 13 is relatively small, and the condensate accumulated in the sump 1113c can be eliminated through natural evaporation. Therefore, the sump 1113c does not need to be provided with a condensate discharge port. Of course, in other embodiments, the sump 1113c may also be provided with a condensate discharge port to discharge the condensate.
[0161] It can be understood that there is no limit to the formation method of the liquid collection tank 1113c. For example, it can be a space enclosed by multiple structures on the bottom wall 111, for example, a space enclosed by a rib-like structure on the bottom wall 111, which is connected to the through hole 122a; or the bottom wall 111 can be hollowed out to form a groove-like structure, which is connected to the through hole 122a. There is no limitation here.
[0162] For example, in an embodiment where the adapter 12 is provided with an extension structure 122, the through hole 122a can be provided on the plate portion 1221, and the liquid collecting tank 1113c can be provided on the bottom side of the plate portion 1221, so that the condensate can flow from top to bottom to the liquid collecting tank 1113c through the through hole 122a.
[0163] For some examples, see Figure 8 The bottom wall 111 includes a first bottom wall 1111 and a second bottom wall 1112. The first bottom wall 1111 constitutes the bottom wall of the air duct. The second bottom wall 1112 is arranged on one side of the first bottom wall 1111 along the first direction. The first bottom wall 1111 is flat. The position of the second bottom wall 1112 is lower than the first bottom wall 1111. The compressor 13 is arranged above the second bottom wall 1112, wherein the first direction intersects with the height direction of the base device 10.
[0164] In this embodiment, the compressor 13 is arranged outside the air duct, which facilitates the air circulation around the compressor 13, enhances the heat dissipation effect, and reduces the impact of the heat generated by the compressor 13 on the heat exchange components in the air duct. At the same time, it is also convenient to disassemble and repair the compressor 13 without affecting the structure of the air duct.
[0165] The first bottom wall 1111 is in the shape of a flat plate, which can facilitate the installation of the heat exchange component in the air duct, facilitate the horizontal installation of the heat exchange component, and increase the operating stability of the heat exchange component.
[0166] The second bottom wall 1112 is positioned lower than the first bottom wall 1111, forming a stepped structure. This facilitates installation of the compressor 13 at a lower position, lowering the overall center of gravity of the base unit 10, facilitating installation and maintenance of the compressor 13, and making the base unit 10 more compact. Furthermore, a clearance space is formed below the first bottom wall 1111 to accommodate a portion of the second barrel assembly 30, thereby making the structure of the laundry processing apparatus more compact and reducing its height.
[0167] It is understandable that the first direction can be any direction. For example, the first direction can be a left-right direction or a front-back direction, and there is no limitation here.
