Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a clothes processing device. Background Art

[0002] Washing machines, dryers, and other laundry processing devices convert electrical energy into mechanical or thermal energy to wash or dry clothes. These devices are now ubiquitous in every household. As consumers' living standards improve, their expectations for laundry processing devices are also increasing.

[0003] Common laundry processing devices on the market typically include a housing, a rotating drum within the housing, and a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism drives the rotating drum, which in turn rotates the laundry inside, to wash or dry the clothes. However, the motor can experience resonance during operation, resulting in high noise levels, impacting product quality and user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a clothes treating device, so as to improve the technical problem of motor resonance in clothes treating devices existing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve at least one of the above objectives, the present disclosure provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] Provided is a clothes processing device, comprising:

[0007] Box;

[0008] The rotating drum is rotatably arranged inside the box body, and has an inner cavity for holding clothes;

[0009] a driving mechanism configured to drive the rotating drum to rotate;

[0010] The driving mechanism includes:

[0011] The motor, the output shaft of the motor is connected to the rotating drum through the transmission assembly;

[0012] a capacitor disposed outside the motor, the capacitor having a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other, an outer peripheral surface disposed between the first end and the second end, and configured to cooperate with the operation of the motor;

[0013] A vibration-damping structure made of a vibration-damping material is provided on the peripheral side of the capacitor;

[0014] The outer wall of the vibration-damping structure is in abutting contact with the outer peripheral surface of the capacitor.

[0015] In the above technical solution, since the capacitor is arranged outside the motor, when the motor resonates, the amplitude at the capacitor is relatively large; by arranging a vibration-damping structure on the periphery of the capacitor and abutting the vibration-damping structure against the outer peripheral surface of the capacitor, the vibration-damping structure can be used to absorb and dissipate part of the vibration of the capacitor to reduce the vibration amplitude of the capacitor; moreover, by adding a vibration-damping structure, the mass and damping of the system can be changed to further reduce the vibration amplitude of the capacitor, thereby improving the resonance problem of the motor; in addition, the vibration-damping structure is an independent structure arranged on the periphery of the capacitor, which is conducive to assembly and maintenance, and can be suitable for layout in a compact space, and the original motor structure does not need to be modified or the modification is small, and the impact on the production process and assembly process of the original motor structure is small, and the modification cost is low.

[0016] In some embodiments, the first end of the capacitor is connected to the housing of the motor through a bracket;

[0017] There is a gap between the outer peripheral surface of the capacitor and the housing of the motor.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the capacitor and the motor are connected by a bracket, which can ensure the stability of the connection between the capacitor and the motor; moreover, there is a gap between the capacitor and the motor, which can prevent the vibration of the motor from being directly transmitted to the capacitor, causing the capacitor to be easily damaged due to excessive vibration; in addition, the existence of the gap can provide more heat dissipation space for the capacitor and the motor, which is conducive to heat dissipation.

[0019] In some embodiments, the vibration-damping structure is fixedly connected to the bracket.

[0020] In the above technical solution, the vibration-damping structure is fixedly connected to the bracket, thereby ensuring the connection strength of the vibration-damping structure.

[0021] In some embodiments, the vibration damping structure is fixedly connected to the capacitor bundle.

[0022] In the above technical solution, the vibration-damping structure is fixedly connected to the capacitor by bundling, which can facilitate the assembly of the vibration-damping structure and the capacitor and the adjustment of the relative position between the two.

[0023] In some embodiments, the vibration-damping structure is fixedly connected to the bracket, and the vibration-damping structure is also fixedly connected to the capacitor bundle.

[0024] In the above technical solution, the vibration reduction structure adopts a connection method in which it is fixedly connected to the bracket and is bundled and fixedly connected to the capacitor, which can greatly improve the connection strength and connection stability of the vibration reduction structure.

[0025] In some embodiments, the vibration-damping structure extends from the first end to the second end.

[0026] In the above technical solution, by setting the extension direction of the vibration-damping structure to the direction from the first end to the second end of the capacitor, and since the outer peripheral surface of the capacitor is provided between the first end and the second end, the vibration-damping structure can have more contact with the outer peripheral surface of the capacitor, and the vibration-damping structure can absorb and dissipate more vibration of the capacitor, thereby improving the vibration-damping effect of the vibration-damping structure on the capacitor.

[0027] In some embodiments, a cavity is provided inside the vibration-damping structure, and the cavity is filled with energy-absorbing material.

[0028] In the above technical solution, energy-absorbing material is arranged inside the vibration-damping structure. The energy-absorbing material can convert and absorb part of the vibration energy of the capacitor to enhance the vibration-damping effect on the capacitor, thereby improving the resonance problem of the motor.

[0029] In some embodiments, the vibration reduction structure is disposed on a side of the capacitor away from the motor, and the vibration reduction structure is located between one side of the capacitor in the vertical direction and one side of the capacitor in the horizontal direction;

[0030] Alternatively, the vibration reduction structure is arranged on a side of the capacitor that is away from the motor in the vertical direction;

[0031] Alternatively, the vibration reduction structure is arranged on a side of the capacitor that is away from the motor in the horizontal direction.

[0032] In the above technical solution, in order to ensure the stability and compactness of the structure, the layout space between the capacitor and the motor is limited. By arranging the vibration damping structure on the side of the capacitor away from the motor, the vibration damping structure can have a sufficiently large layout space, thereby improving the rationality of the device layout; moreover, sufficient layout space can give the vibration damping structure a larger operating space, which is conducive to the assembly and maintenance of the vibration damping structure; in addition, the vibration damping structure can be relatively far away from the motor, which can free up more space around the motor and is conducive to the heat dissipation of the motor.

[0033] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly includes:

[0034] The transmission wheel set is installed on the side of the bracket facing away from the capacitor;

[0035] A first transmission belt is connected between the output shaft of the motor and the transmission wheel set;

[0036] The second transmission belt is connected between the transmission wheel set and the rotating drum.

[0037] In the above technical solution, by arranging the transmission wheel set on the bracket, the bracket is fully utilized and more layout space can be released, which can make the layout of the entire device more compact and reasonable.

[0038] In some embodiments, an elastic member is provided between the bracket and the box body, and the elastic member is located on a side of the bracket away from the rotating drum.

[0039] In the above technical solution, the bracket and the box are connected by an elastic member, which can absorb and dissipate part of the vibration of the bracket to reduce the vibration amplitude of the bracket, thereby improving the resonance problem of the motor; moreover, since a transmission wheel group is installed on the bracket, the transmission wheel group and the rotating drum are connected by a second transmission belt, and the rotating drum generates a pulling force on the transmission wheel group and the bracket. By arranging the elastic member at a position on the side of the bracket away from the rotating drum, the above-mentioned pulling force can be balanced, thereby ensuring the stability of the transmission wheel group and the bracket, and thus improving the stability of the transmission between the motor and the rotating drum.

[0072] As part of the creative concept of the present disclosure, before describing the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is necessary to analyze the causes of the motor resonance problem in the clothing processing device in the related art, and obtain the technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure through reasonable analysis.

[0073] In the related art, clothes-processing devices such as washing machines and dryers convert electrical energy into mechanical or thermal energy to wash or dry clothes. These devices are now ubiquitous in millions of households. As consumers' living standards improve, their demands for clothes-processing devices are also increasing. Common clothes-processing devices on the market typically include a housing, a rotating drum within the housing, and a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism drives the rotating drum, which in turn rotates the clothes inside, washing or drying the clothes. The drive mechanism typically uses a capacitor motor, which primarily consists of a motor and a capacitor externally mounted on the motor. Capacitor motors have the following advantages: 1. Simple structure and low manufacturing cost; 2. High starting torque; 3. Stable speed; 4. High power density; and 5. High operating efficiency. However, the motors can experience resonance during operation, resulting in high noise levels that affect product quality and user experience. Furthermore, motor vibration tests show that the vibration amplitude is often greatest at the capacitor, making the capacitor susceptible to damage and affecting operational stability.

[0074] To this end, the present disclosure provides a clothing processing device, which improves the technical problem of motor resonance in the prior art by adding a vibration-damping structure and contacting the structure on a capacitor.

[0075] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present disclosure described below can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict between them.

[0076] See also Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of a clothes processing device is provided. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Structural schematic diagrams of a motor equipped with a vibration reduction structure at different angles are provided, which show the position layout and connection relationship between the box body 100, the rotating drum 200, the driving mechanism 300 and the vibration reduction structure 400. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a capacitor 320 is provided, wherein a specific structure of the capacitor 320 is shown.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a clothes treating device is provided. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the clothing processing device includes a housing 100, a rotating drum 200 and a driving mechanism 300; wherein, the rotating drum 200 can be rotatably arranged inside the housing 100, and the rotating drum 200 can hold clothes. The driving mechanism 300 is configured to drive the rotating drum 200. Driven by the driving mechanism 300, the rotating drum 200 and the clothes inside can rotate to complete operations such as washing or drying the clothes. Moreover, during the process of drying the clothes, the clothes in the rotating drum 200 can also be driven to rotate, so that the moisture in the clothes can be evaporated and dried from multiple angles and in a more comprehensive manner, thereby improving the drying efficiency and drying effect.

[0078] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the housing 100 is configured as the outer shell of the laundry processing device. The housing 100 generally adopts a rectangular hollow structure, and its interior can provide installation space for components such as the rotating drum 200 and the driving mechanism 300. The appearance and shape of the housing 100 can be designed as needed and are not limited here.

[0079] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the rotating drum 200 has an inner cavity, in which clothes can be placed. A drain outlet and a drain pipe connected to the drain outlet can be provided on the rotating drum 200. The water in the inner cavity can be discharged to the outside of the box body 100 through a drain pump and the drain outlet. An air inlet can also be provided on the rotating drum 200, through which hot air can be transported into the inner cavity for drying clothes.

[0080] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the drive mechanism 300 includes a motor 310 and a capacitor 320 used in conjunction with the motor 310. The capacitor 320 is disposed outside the motor 310 and is configured to cooperate with the operation of the motor 310. The capacitor 320 may be configured to cooperate with the operation of the motor 310 in the following situations: 1. The capacitor 320 is used to start the motor 310; 2. The capacitor 320 is used to stabilize the operation of the motor 310; 3. The capacitor 320 can both start the motor 310 and stabilize the operation of the motor 310.

[0081] Furthermore, the motor 310 is provided with an output shaft 311 , and the output shaft 311 is transmission-connected to the rotating drum 200 via a transmission assembly 700 .

[0082] Optionally, the motor 310 may be disposed inside the box 100 , and the motor 310 may be mounted on the inner bottom plate 110 of the box 100 via a frame 312 .

[0083] Optionally, the motor 310 may be a single-phase AC motor, and the motor 310 may be started or stabilized by a capacitor 320 disposed outside the motor 310 .

[0084] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, the capacitor 320 has a first end 321 and a second end 322 that are opposite to each other, and an outer peripheral surface 323 is provided between the first end 321 and the second end 322 .

[0085] Optionally, the capacitor 320 is substantially in a cylindrical structure, the first end 321 and the second end 322 may be two ends of the cylindrical structure, and the outer peripheral surface 323 may be a peripheral wall surface of the cylindrical structure.

[0086] In addition, the capacitor 320 can be divided into a starting capacitor and a running capacitor; among them, the starting capacitor usually has a larger capacitance, can generate a higher starting torque, and is usually a non-polar capacitor. The starting capacitor is mainly used in the starting process of a single-phase AC motor to provide additional starting torque to help the motor start smoothly, and it only works briefly when the motor starts. Once the motor reaches the operating speed, the starting capacitor will automatically disconnect; the running capacitor has a relatively small capacity, and its purpose is to provide a stable current flow to the motor. The running capacitor is used in the running stage of the motor to help the motor maintain stable operation.

[0087] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clothes treating apparatus further includes a vibration-damping structure 400 , which is disposed on the peripheral side of the capacitor 320 , and an outer wall of the vibration-damping structure 400 is in contact with an outer peripheral surface 323 of the capacitor 320 .

[0088] With the above structural design, the vibration reduction structure 400 can absorb and dissipate part of the vibration of the capacitor 320 , thereby improving the resonance problem of the motor 310 .

[0089] Furthermore, the vibration damping structure 400 is made of a vibration damping material, and the vibration damping material may be rubber, EVA (Ethylenevinyl Acetate Copolymer), ACF (Artificial Cartilage Foam), PU (polyurethane), or the like.

[0090] Optionally, the vibration-damping structure 400 may be designed as a column structure.

[0091] With the above structural design, the vibration reduction structure 400 and the capacitor 320 are both designed as column structures. When the two are in contact with each other, the contact area between the vibration reduction structure 400 and the capacitor 320 is small, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the capacitor 320.

[0092] Of course, the vibration-damping structure 400 may also be in a strip-shaped structure, a rectangular parallelepiped structure, etc. The appearance of the vibration-damping structure 400 may be designed as required and is not limited here.

[0093] In the above technical solution, since the capacitor 320 is arranged outside the motor 310, when the motor 310 resonates, the amplitude at the capacitor 320 is relatively large; by arranging a vibration-damping structure 400 on the periphery of the capacitor 320 and abutting the vibration-damping structure 400 against the outer peripheral surface 323 of the capacitor 320, the vibration-damping structure 400 can be used to absorb and dissipate part of the vibration of the capacitor 320 to reduce the vibration amplitude of the capacitor 320; moreover, by adding the vibration-damping structure 400, the mass and damping of the system can be changed to further reduce the vibration amplitude of the capacitor 320, thereby improving the resonance problem of the motor 310; in addition, the vibration-damping structure 400 is an independent structure arranged on the side of the capacitor 320, which is conducive to assembly and maintenance, and can be suitable for arrangement in a compact space, and the original motor structure does not need to be modified or the modification is small, and the impact on the production process and assembly process of the original motor structure is small, and the modification cost is low.

[0094] See also Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of a clothes processing device is provided. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Schematic diagrams of the structure of a motor equipped with a vibration reduction structure at different angles are provided, showing the position layout and connection relationship between the motor 310, the capacitor 320 and the bracket 330.

[0095] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the first end 321 of the capacitor 320 is connected to the housing of the motor 310 through the bracket 330 .

[0096] Optionally, the bracket 330 may be integrally formed with the housing of the motor 310 ; or, the bracket 330 may be locked to the housing of the motor 310 by a fixing mechanism such as a bolt assembly 500 .

[0097] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one way to connect the capacitor 320 to the bracket 330 can be: the first end 321 of the capacitor 320 is locked to the end of the bracket 330 away from the motor 310 through a fixing mechanism such as a bolt assembly 500, and the second end 322 of the capacitor 320 can be suspended.

[0098] By adopting the above-mentioned structural design, the first end 321 of the capacitor 320 is connected to the motor 310 through the bracket 330, which can ensure the stability of the connection between the capacitor 320 and the motor 310; in addition, the second end 322 of the capacitor 320 is suspended, which can eliminate the assembly relationship between the second end 322 of the capacitor 320 and other components, thereby improving assembly efficiency and saving layout space.

[0099] Furthermore, there is a gap between the outer peripheral surface 323 of the capacitor 320 and the housing of the motor 310 .

[0100] By adopting the above structural design, by providing a gap between the capacitor 320 and the motor 310, the vibration of the motor 310 can be prevented from being directly transmitted to the capacitor 320, causing the capacitor 320 to be easily damaged due to excessive vibration. In addition, the existence of the gap can provide more heat dissipation space for the capacitor 320 and the motor 310, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the capacitor 320 and the motor 310.

[0101] See also Figures 6 to 8 , Figures 6 to 8 Structural schematic diagrams of different connection modes between the vibration damping structure 400 and the bracket 330 and the capacitor 320 are provided, wherein the connection relationship between the vibration damping structure 400 and the bracket 330 and / or the capacitor 320 is shown.

[0102] In some embodiments, as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the vibration damping structure 400 is fixedly connected to the bracket 330; or, the vibration damping structure 400 is bundled and fixedly connected to the capacitor 320; or, the vibration damping structure 400 is fixedly connected to the bracket 330, and the vibration damping structure 400 is also bundled and fixedly connected to the capacitor 320.

[0103] For example, Figure 6As shown, one way to connect the vibration-damping structure 400 to the bracket 330 and the capacitor 320 can be: one end of the vibration-damping structure 400 is locked on the bracket 330 by a fixing mechanism such as a bolt assembly 500, and the other end of the vibration-damping structure 400 can be suspended; wherein, the vibration-damping structure 400 and the capacitor 320 are located on the same side of the bracket 330 and the two are in contact with each other.

[0104] With the above structural design, the vibration-damping structure 400 is fixedly connected to the bracket 330 , thereby ensuring the connection strength of the vibration-damping structure 400 .

[0105] For example, Figure 7 As shown, another way to connect the vibration-damping structure 400 with the bracket 330 and the capacitor 320 may be: according to a preset assembly position, the vibration-damping structure 400 and the capacitor 320 are brought into contact with each other, and then the two are tied together and fixed with a cable tie 600 .

[0106] With the above structural design, the vibration reduction structure 400 is fixedly connected to the capacitor 320 by being bundled, which facilitates the assembly of the vibration reduction structure 400 and the capacitor 320 and the adjustment of the relative position between the two.

[0107] For example, Figure 8 As shown, another way to connect the vibration-damping structure 400 to the bracket 330 and the capacitor 320 can be: one end of the vibration-damping structure 400 is locked on the bracket 330 by a fixing mechanism such as a bolt assembly 500, and the other end of the vibration-damping structure 400 can be tied and fixedly connected to the capacitor 320 by a cable tie 600; wherein the vibration-damping structure 400 and the capacitor 320 are located on the same side of the bracket 330 and the two are in contact with each other.

[0108] With the above structural design, the vibration damping structure 400 adopts the above two fixed connection methods at the same time, which can greatly improve the connection strength and connection stability of the vibration damping structure 400.

[0109] It should be understood that the vibration-damping structure 400 is connected to the bracket 330 and the capacitor 320, the main purpose of which is to ensure that a relatively stable state is maintained between the vibration-damping structure 400 and the capacitor 320, so that the vibration-damping structure 400 absorbs and dissipates part of the vibration energy on the capacitor 320; to this end, the vibration-damping structure 400 can also be fixedly connected to the box 100 so that the vibration-damping structure 400 can be in stable abutment contact with the capacitor 320.

[0110] See also Figures 6 to 8 , Figures 6 to 8 Provided are schematic diagrams of main structures of different connection modes between the vibration damping structure 400 and the capacitor 320 , wherein the extension directions of the vibration damping structure 400 and the capacitor 320 are shown.

[0111] In some embodiments, as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the vibration-damping structure 400 extends in a direction from the first end 321 to the second end 322 of the capacitor 320. For ease of description, the vibration-damping structure 400 and the capacitor 320 are both designed as cylindrical structures. The above solution can be understood as follows: the direction from the first end 321 to the second end 322 of the capacitor 320 is the height direction of the capacitor 320, and the vibration-damping structure 400 can be extended in the height direction of the capacitor 320, and the extension direction of the vibration-damping structure 400 can also be the height direction of the vibration-damping structure 400.

[0112] Optionally, the height of the vibration reduction structure 400 is consistent with the height of the capacitor 320 ; or, the height of the vibration reduction structure 400 is slightly greater than the height of the capacitor 320 ; or, the height of the vibration reduction structure 400 is slightly less than the height of the capacitor 320 .

[0113] By adopting the above-mentioned structural design, the height of the vibration-damping structure 400 and the height of the capacitor 320 are designed to be equal or approximately equal in length, so that the outer wall of the vibration-damping structure 400 and the outer peripheral surface 323 of the capacitor 320 can have more contact in the height direction of both. The vibration-damping structure 400 can absorb and dissipate more vibration of the capacitor 320, thereby enhancing the vibration-damping effect of the vibration-damping structure 400 on the capacitor 320.

[0114] It should be noted that the design of the height of the vibration-damping structure 400 should also take into account issues such as the layout space of the vibration-damping structure 400 in the entire device and the assembly of the vibration-damping structure 400. It is best if the height of the vibration-damping structure 400 can adapt to the layout space in which it is located and is easy to assemble.

[0115] See also Figure 5 and Figure 9 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 Schematic diagrams of the internal structure of the vibration reduction structure 400 at different angles are provided, showing the internal structure of the vibration reduction structure 400.

[0116] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, a cavity 410 is provided inside the vibration reduction structure 400 , and the cavity 410 is filled with energy absorbing material 420 .

[0117] Optionally, the energy-absorbing material 420 may be a fluid. For example, the fluid may be high-density oil; the high-density oil may be damping oil, also known as resistance oil, shock-absorbing oil, high-viscosity lubricating oil, damping grease, high-resistance lubricating oil, damping lubricating oil, or shockproof oil. Damping oil is a new type of high-quality, wide-temperature lubricating oil for damping, cushioning, and sealing, formulated from a high-purity inorganic thickener and special synthetic oil. Damping oil is stable in performance and does not change with temperature in any environment, thereby enhancing the damping and cushioning effects.

[0118] Optionally, the energy absorbing material 420 may be tiny particles, such as metal beads.

[0119] With the above-mentioned structural design, an energy-absorbing material 420 is arranged inside the vibration-damping structure 400. The energy-absorbing material 420 can be used to convert and absorb part of the vibration energy of the capacitor 320 (the absorbed energy can be converted into the kinetic energy of the fluid or tiny particles) to enhance the vibration-damping effect of the capacitor 320, thereby improving the resonance problem of the motor 310.

[0120] It should be noted that in order to facilitate the energy conversion of the energy-absorbing material 420, especially when tiny particles are used as the energy-absorbing material 420, the cavity 410 inside the vibration-damping structure 400 can also reserve a certain space for the energy-absorbing material 420 to move, which is conducive to converting and absorbing part of the vibration energy of the capacitor 320.

[0121] See also Figures 9 to 11 , Figures 9 to 11 A schematic diagram of structures of different layouts between the vibration damping structure 400 and the capacitor 320 is provided, wherein different positional relationships between the vibration damping structure 400 and the capacitor 320 are shown.

[0122] In some embodiments, as Figures 9 to 11 As shown, to ensure structural stability and compactness, the layout space between the capacitor 320 and the motor 310 is usually limited. Based on this, the vibration reduction structure 400 can be set on the side of the capacitor 320 away from the motor 310.

[0123] For example, Figure 9 As shown, one layout method of the vibration reduction structure 400 and the capacitor 320 may be: on the side of the capacitor 320 away from the motor 310, the vibration reduction structure 400 is located between one side of the capacitor 320 in the vertical direction and one side of the capacitor 320 in the horizontal direction.

[0124] For example, Figure 10 As shown, another layout of the vibration reduction structure 400 and the capacitor 320 may be: the vibration reduction structure 400 is disposed on a side of the capacitor 320 that is away from the motor 310 in the vertical direction.

[0125] For example, Figure 11 As shown, another arrangement of the vibration-damping structure 400 and the capacitor 320 may be: the vibration-damping structure 400 is disposed on a side of the capacitor 320 that is away from the motor 310 in the horizontal direction.

[0126] By adopting the above-mentioned structural design, by arranging the vibration reduction structure 400 on the side of the capacitor 320 away from the motor 310, the vibration reduction structure 400 can have a sufficiently large layout space, thereby improving the rationality of the device layout; moreover, the sufficient layout space can provide the vibration reduction structure 400 with a larger operating space, which is beneficial to the assembly and maintenance of the vibration reduction structure 400; in addition, the vibration reduction structure 400 can be relatively far away from the motor 310, which can free up more space around the motor 310, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the motor 310.

[0127] It should be noted that the layout of the relative positions of the vibration-damping structure 400 and the capacitor 320 can be set according to the actual vibration conditions of the capacitor 320. The main consideration is to set the vibration-damping structure 400 on the side in the direction where the vibration of the capacitor 320 is larger. At the same time, the layout space of the vibration-damping structure 400 and the convenience of assembly and maintenance of the vibration-damping structure 400 and other factors that affect the layout position of the vibration-damping structure 400 can be taken into account.

[0128] See also Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of a clothes processing device is provided. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Schematic diagrams of the structure of a motor equipped with a vibration reduction structure at different angles are provided, which show the layout position of the transmission assembly 700 and the connection relationship between the transmission assembly 700 and related components.

[0129] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the output shaft 311 of the motor 310 is connected to the rotating drum 200 through the transmission assembly 700. The transmission assembly 700 includes a transmission wheel assembly 710, a first transmission belt 720, and a second transmission belt 730. The transmission wheel assembly 710 is mounted on the bracket 330, the first transmission belt 720 is connected between the output shaft 311 of the motor 310 and the transmission wheel assembly 710, and the second transmission belt 730 is connected between the transmission wheel assembly 710 and the rotating drum 200. The output power of the motor 310 is transmitted to the transmission wheel assembly 710 through the first transmission belt 720, and then transmitted to the rotating drum 200 through the second transmission belt 730, so that the motor 310 can electrically drive the rotating drum 200 to rotate.

[0130] Alternatively, the transmission wheel assembly 710 may include two transmission wheels, which are relatively fixed and rotatably coaxially disposed on the bracket 330, wherein one transmission wheel is transmission-connected to the output shaft 311 of the motor 310 via a first transmission belt 720, and the other transmission wheel is transmission-connected to the rotating drum 200 via a second transmission belt 730. Alternatively, the transmission wheel assembly 710 may include a transmission wheel and a transmission shaft, which are relatively fixed and rotatably coaxially disposed on the bracket 330, wherein the transmission wheel is transmission-connected to the output shaft 311 of the motor 310 via a first transmission belt 720, and the transmission shaft is transmission-connected to the rotating drum 200 via a second transmission belt 730.

[0131] Optionally, the first transmission belt 720 and the second transmission belt 730 may be belts.

[0132] With the above structural design, by arranging the transmission wheel assembly 710 on the bracket 330, the bracket 330 can be fully utilized and more layout space can be released, so that the layout of the entire device is more compact and reasonable.

[0133] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the transmission wheel assembly 710 is installed on a side of the bracket 330 facing away from the capacitor 320 .

[0134] With the above-mentioned structural design, the transmission wheel and the capacitor 320 are arranged on both sides of the bracket 330, which is conducive to the assembly of the transmission wheel and the capacitor 320 onto the bracket 330, rationally utilizes the layout space on both sides of the bracket 330, and can also balance the weight on both sides of the bracket 330, and can effectively avoid interference problems during assembly.

[0135] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an elastic member 800 is provided between the bracket 330 and the box body 100 , and the elastic member 800 is located on a side of the bracket 330 away from the rotating drum 200 .

[0136] The elastic member 800 is a component that utilizes its own elastic properties to perform various functions and can withstand forces.

[0137] Optionally, the elastic member 800 may be a spring.

[0138] With the above-mentioned structural design, the bracket 330 and the box body 100 are connected by the elastic member 800. The elastic member 800 can absorb and dissipate part of the vibration of the bracket 330 to reduce the vibration amplitude of the bracket 330, thereby improving the resonance problem of the motor 310; moreover, since the transmission wheel group 710 is installed on the bracket 330, the transmission wheel group 710 is connected to the rotating drum 200 through the second transmission belt 730, and the rotating drum 200 generates a pulling force on the transmission wheel group 710 and the bracket 330. By setting the elastic member 800 at a position on the side of the bracket 330 away from the rotating drum 200, the above-mentioned pulling force can be balanced, thereby ensuring the stability of the transmission wheel group 710 and the bracket 330, and thus improving the stability of the transmission between the motor 310 and the rotating drum 200.
