The above definitions are intended solely to explain and illustrate this disclosure and should not be construed as limiting the disclosure.

[0033] Hereinafter, a clothes treating apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] In the related art, the rotation axes of the large drum and the small drum in the double-drum clothing processing equipment are arranged in the horizontal direction. The horizontal arrangement of the small drum causes the problem of inconvenience in taking out the clothes.

[0035] In order to solve the above technical problems, Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present disclosure provides a clothing processing device, including: a shell 1, a first drum 2 and a second drum 3, the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 are both located in the shell 1 and are spaced apart, the diameter of the first drum 2 is larger than the diameter of the second drum 3, the first rotation center line M of the first drum 2 is parallel to the front-to-back direction, and in the front-to-back direction, from the rear toward the front direction of the clothing processing device, the second rotation center line N of the second drum 3 is inclined upward.

[0036] Through the above technical solution, by arranging the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 at intervals in the shell 1, the diameter of the first drum 2 is larger than the diameter of the second drum 3, so that the clothes can be washed in drums according to different types and weights. The first rotation center line M of the first drum 2 is parallel to the front-to-back direction. In the front-to-back direction, from the rear of the clothes processing device to the front direction, the second rotation center line N of the second drum 3 is inclined upward. Compared with the horizontally arranged second drum 3 in the related art, the second drum 3 arranged upward can facilitate the taking and placing of clothes from the second drum 3 when the second drum 3 is used.

[0037] It should be noted that the clothes processing device mentioned in the present disclosure can be a double-drum washing machine, a double-drum dryer, a double-drum washer-dryer, etc. including a first drum 2 and a second drum 3. Among them, in this embodiment, a double-drum washer-dryer is taken as an example. The double-drum washer-dryer includes a shell 1. The size of the shell 1 is the size of a conventional single-drum washing machine. For example, the width of the shell 1 can be 550mm~650mm, the height can be 800mm~900mm, and the depth can be 500mm~700mm. The first drum 2 and the second drum 3 are 1 / 4" long. The sizes can be different. For example, the outer diameter of the first drum 2 can be larger than that of the second drum 3, and the ratio of the outer diameter of the first drum 2 to the outer diameter of the second drum 3 can be 2.8 to 3.1. For example, the outer diameter of the first drum 2 can be 530 mm to 543 mm, and the outer diameter of the second drum 3 can be 175 mm to 185 mm. This allows the laundry to be separated by two drums of different sizes. The outer diameter of the first drum 2 can be the outer diameter of the first outer drum in the first drum 2, and the outer diameter of the second drum 3 can be the outer diameter of the second outer drum in the second drum 3. In addition, the first drum 2 also includes a first inner drum for washing or drying clothes, and the second drum 3 also includes a second inner drum for washing or drying clothes. In this embodiment, the front-to-back direction, left-to-right direction, and up-to-down direction mentioned are relative to the use state of the laundry processing device.

[0038] Of course, the double-drum washer-dryer provided in this embodiment includes not only the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 mentioned above, but also the necessary components of a double-drum washer-dryer, such as drying equipment, a power motor, drainage and exhaust pipes, a control box, etc. The above-mentioned drying equipment, power motor, drainage and exhaust pipes, and control boxes can all use conventional equipment, and this disclosure does not go into details about their specific structures.

[0039] In order to reasonably utilize the space of the housing 1 to arrange the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 in the housing 1, in some practicable ways, the second roller 3 is located below the side of the first roller 2. Figure 1As shown, the first drum 2 is located in the middle of the shell 1, and the lower part of the first drum 2 refers to the lower part of the second plane S passing through the first rotation center line M and parallel to the left and right directions. The second drum 3 can be located below the left side of the first drum 2. The first drum 2 and the second drum 3 are staggered in the first plane P. The first plane P is a plane passing through the first rotation center line M and parallel to the up and down directions, so that the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 can reasonably utilize the space of the shell 1, and the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 are set with a larger diameter as possible in the shell 1, so that the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 can accommodate more clothes and improve the efficiency of clothing processing. At the same time, the second drum 3 is located at the lower left side of the first drum 2, which can also facilitate the simultaneous taking and placing of clothes in the first drum 2 and the second drum 3. When clothes need to be placed in the first drum 2 and the second drum 3, the laundry staff puts the sorted clothes into the corresponding first drum 2 and the second drum 3 in turn. Due to the size limitation of the clothes processing equipment, it is usually necessary to bend over to put the clothes into the first drum 2 and the second drum 3. The second drum 3 is tilted upward, which can be more suitable for naturally drooping arms, and clothes can be placed in the second drum 3 without bending the arms too much. Similarly, when clothes need to be taken out of the first drum 2 and the second drum 3, the laundry staff bends over to open the first front door corresponding to the first drum 2 and take out the clothes in the first drum 2. At this time, the second front door corresponding to the second drum 3 can also be opened. The arm can be bent at a small angle to go deep into the second drum 3 along the inclined direction to take out the clothes.

[0040] To facilitate placement of the second roller 3 within the housing 1, in some embodiments, the angle A between the second rotation centerline N and the first rotation centerline M within a first plane P is between 0° and 15°, where the first plane P is a plane passing through the first rotation centerline M and parallel to the vertical direction. Thus, by setting the angle A1 between the second rotation centerline N and the first rotation centerline M of the second roller 3 within the first plane P, the upward tilt angle of the second roller 3 can be limited. Furthermore, to further define the specific position of the second roller 3 within the housing 1, in some embodiments, the distance H1 between the upper edge of the opening of the second roller 3 and the bottom plate of the housing 1 is between 200 mm and 300 mm.

[0041] It is understood that the second roller 3 is schematically arranged below the left side of the first roller 2. In other embodiments, the second roller 3 can also be arranged below the right side of the first roller 2 or directly below the first roller 2. In addition, the second roller 3 can also be arranged above the side of the first roller 2, and the above side can include above the left side, above the right side, and directly above the first roller 2. Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the second roller 3 can also be arranged above the left side of the first roller 2, the angle A2 between the second rotation center line N of the second roller 3 and the first rotation center line M in the first plane P is 0°~15°, the first plane is a plane passing through the first rotation center line M and parallel to the up and down direction, and / or the height H2 of the lower edge of the opening of the second roller 3 and the top plate of the shell 1 is 200mm~300mm, wherein the lower edge of the opening of the second roller 3 can be specifically referred to Figure 5 The specific position of the second roller 3 in the shell 1 can be further limited by limiting the included angle A2 between the second rotation center line N of the second roller 3 and the first rotation center line M in the first plane P and the height H2 between the lower edge of the opening of the second roller 3 and the top plate of the shell 1.

[0042] To further utilize the space within the housing 1 and enable the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 to be arranged in a larger size within the housing 1, in some practicable embodiments, the projection of the first drum 2 and the projection of the second drum 3 at least partially overlap within the first plane P. Thus, the projection of the first drum 2 and the projection of the second drum 3 partially overlap within the first plane P, thereby reducing the gap between the first drum 2 and the second drum 3. This allows the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 to be arranged in a larger size within the housing 1, allowing the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 to accommodate more laundry, thereby improving laundry processing efficiency.

[0043] In some embodiments, the laundry processing device further comprises a door seal 6, which is provided on the front panel of the housing 1. Figure 1 As shown, the door seal 6 is used to cooperate with the opening of the second drum 3. The door seal 6 is located at the lower left side of the front panel of the shell 1. The setting of the door seal 6 can seal the gap between the second outer cylinder of the second drum 3 and the second front door to prevent water from leaking from the gap.

[0044] In order to further improve the sealing between the second drum 3 and the second front door, in some feasible methods, in the first plane P, the width of the upper projection of the door seal 6 is greater than the width of the lower projection of the door seal 6, so that the door seal 6 can adapt to the outer cylinder of the second drum 3 set upward, thereby sealing the gap between the second outer cylinder of the second drum 3 and the second front door to prevent water from leaking from the gap.

[0045] In some embodiments, to facilitate installation of the second roller 3 on the housing 1 and arrangement of the door seal 6 on the front panel, the front panel of the housing 1 includes an inclined portion 11, which is provided with an opening that cooperates with the second roller 3. The projection of the inclined portion 11 within the first plane P is tilted from top to bottom and forward. Thus, the provision of the inclined portion 11 allows for the installation of the second roller 3, which is arranged upwardly and tilted, and the door seal 6, which cooperates with the opening of the second roller 3, thereby achieving a sealed fit between the second roller 3, which is arranged upwardly and tilted, and the second front door via the door seal 6. Furthermore, to facilitate the formation of the inclined portion 11 on the housing 1 and the installation of the door seal 6, the second rotation centerline N is perpendicular to the inclined plane where the inclined portion 11 is located.

[0046] Of course, in some practicable embodiments, the inclined portion 11 may be a portion of the front panel of the housing 1 in the left and right directions, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inclined portion 11 can be a partial front panel located at the lower left side of the shell 1 and covering the opening of the second roller 3. Thus, by setting the inclined portion 11 on the front panel and covering a partial area of ​​the opening of the second roller 3, it is convenient to set the second roller 3 on the inclined portion 11, and to install the door seal 6 on the inclined portion 11, so that the opening of the second roller 3 can be sealed with the second outer door through the door seal 6. Of course, in some other feasible ways, in order to facilitate the manufacture of the above-mentioned inclined portion 11 on the shell 1, the inclined portion 11 can also be a front panel provided on the shell 1 and extending from the left edge of the front panel to the right edge of the front panel, that is, Figure 3 As shown, the inclined portion 11 is located at the lower portion of the shell 1 and extends from the left edge of the front panel to the right edge of the front panel, covering the entire lower portion of the shell 1. Therefore, during the stamping process of the front panel, the lower portion of the front panel of the shell 1 is integrally formed from the left to the right, forming the above-mentioned inclined portion 11.

[0047] In some feasible embodiments, in order to ensure that the second drum 3 of the clothing processing device maintains smooth operation during operation, the clothing processing device also includes a damper 4, which is located between the second drum 3 and the bottom plate of the shell 1. The top end of the damper 4 is connected to the second drum 3, and the bottom end of the damper 4 is connected to the bottom plate of the shell 1. Therefore, when the second drum 3 is working, the damper 4 can better absorb vibration energy through the setting of the damper 4, thereby playing a role in buffering and noise reduction for the second drum 3, thereby maintaining the smooth operation of the second drum 3.

[0048] To facilitate the installation of the damper 4, in some practicable embodiments, the clothing processing device further includes a support plate 5, which is located between the damper 4 and the bottom plate of the housing 1. The support plate 5 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. For example, a plurality of mounting points may be provided on the outer edge of the support plate 5, and a plurality of mating points that cooperate with the mounting points are provided on the inner sidewall of the housing 1. Fasteners pass through the corresponding mounting points and mating points to fixedly connect the support plate 5 to the inner sidewall of the housing 1, and the damper 4 is disposed on the support plate 5. It will be understood that the above-mentioned structure in which the support plate 5 is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the housing 1 is illustrative, and in other embodiments, other structures may be used. For example, the support plate 5 may be fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the housing 1 by welding.

[0049] In order to improve the buffering and noise reduction effect on the second roller 3, as Figures 1-4 As shown, there are multiple dampers 4, each located on either side of the second drum 3 in the left-right direction. The multiple dampers 4 on the same side are spaced apart in the front-to-back direction. Thus, the provision of multiple dampers 4 can provide cushioning and noise reduction for the second drum 3 in both the left-right and front-to-back directions, thereby enhancing the stability of the second drum 3 during operation. In some embodiments, the dampers 4 include two first dampers 41 and two second dampers 42 located in front of the two first dampers 41. The two first dampers 41 and the two second dampers 42 are located on either side of the second drum 3 in the left-right direction. The second dampers 42 are taller than the first dampers 41, enabling the first and second dampers 41 and 42 to adapt to the tilted upward arrangement of the second drum 3. This provides cushioning and noise reduction for the second drum 3 in both the left-right and front-to-back directions, thereby enhancing the stability of the second drum 3 during operation.

However, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0051] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0052] In addition, the various embodiments of the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present disclosure, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present disclosure.
