[0028] In the related art, different washing drums are arranged in the washing machine to realize partitioned washing, which not only enables different washing drums to be adapted to the type of clothes and the washing function, but also improves the use hygiene, flexibility and function richness of the washing machine. Since the washing drum needs to be provided with a damping device in the washing machine to ensure the working stability of the washing drum, the structural distribution and damping scheme of different washing drums in the installation process directly affect the overall structure size and use effect of the washing machine.

[0029] The present disclosure provides a washing drum assembly, Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a washing drum assembly in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 1 As shown, the washing drum assembly 1 comprises a shell 13, a first drum group 11 and a second drum group 12.

The second drum group 12 comprises a second drum body 121 and a second damping member 123, the second drum body 121 is suspended in the containing space 131, a side of the first drum body 111 facing the second drum body 121 is provided with an assembly platform 114, and the second damping member 123 is connected with the second drum body 121 and the assembly platform 114 respectively.

[0030] Since the above-mentioned second drum body 121 realizes the damping effect for the second drum body 121 by means of the first drum body 111, the space occupation caused by the connection damping with the shell 13 is avoided. In addition, the assembly platform 114 formed by the first drum body 111 not only can reduce the connection difficulty with the second damping member 123 by using the platform structure, but also can optimize the stress of the second damping member 123, improve the connection stability and damping effect.

[0031] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the first drum body 111 comprises an arc-shaped structure 1111. The assembly platform 114 comprises an assembly plane 1141 and a transition surface 1142 connecting the assembly plane 1141 and the arc-shaped structure 1111, and the second damping member 123 is connected with the assembly plane 1141.

[0032] Wherein, the transition surface 1142 can comprise a vertical surface extending in the direction opposite to the direction of gravity, and the two ends of the vertical surface are connected with the assembly plane 1141 and the arc-shaped structure 1111 respectively. The above-mentioned vertical surface makes the assembly platform 114 form a table surface protruding from the arc-shaped structure 1111 to facilitate the connection of the second damping member 123, and also can simplify the assembly platform 114 to avoid interference with other structures in the washing machine.

[0033] For example, the assembling platform 114 includes an assembling plane 1141 and a vertical plane as described above, the vertical plane is connected with one end of the arc-shaped structure 1111, and the other end of the assembling plane 1141 away from the vertical plane can be directly connected with the other end of the arc-shaped structure 1111 or connected with the other end of the arc-shaped structure 1111 through the vertical plane, the inclined plane or the curved plane.

[0034] In some embodiments, the second cylinder group 12 further includes a second suspension 122 connecting the shell 13 and the second cylinder body 121, the first cylinder group 11 includes a first suspension 112 connecting the shell 13 and the first cylinder body 111 and a first shock absorber 113 connecting the shell 13 and the first cylinder body 111. The first cylinder body 111 is suspended in the accommodating space 131 through the first suspension 112, the second cylinder body 121 is suspended in the accommodating space 131 through the second suspension 122, and the first shock absorber 113 connecting the shell 13 and the first cylinder body 111 achieves the shock absorption effect for the first cylinder body 111, while the second shock absorber 123 connecting the first cylinder body 111 and the second cylinder body 121 achieves the shock absorption effect for the second cylinder body 121 through the second shock absorber 123 and the first shock absorber 113 connected with the first cylinder body 111, further improving the shock absorption effect.

[0035] In addition, the first cylinder body 111 and the second cylinder body 121 are suspended in the accommodating space 131 through the first suspension 112 and the second suspension 122, which can improve the stability and flexibility of the first cylinder body 111 and the second cylinder body 121. The first suspension 112 can be a hanger connecting the first cylinder body 111 and the shell 13, the second suspension 122 can also be a hanger connecting the second cylinder body 121 and the shell 13, and the first suspension 112 and the second suspension 122 can also be other structures capable of achieving the suspension function, and the present disclosure does not limit this. The first shock absorber 113 and the second shock absorber 123 described above can be a hanger spring or various types of shock absorbers, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0036] In addition to containing the suspension structure, the first suspension 112 and the second suspension 122 described above can also be provided with a shock absorber to further achieve the shock absorption effect on the basis of achieving the suspension function.

[0037] Further, the second drum body 121 can include a first area close to the first drum body 111 and a second area opposite to the first area, the second hanging piece 122 is connected to the second area, and the second damping piece 123 is connected to the first area. The first drum body 111 includes a third area close to the second drum body 121 and a fourth area opposite to the third area, the first hanging piece 112 is connected to the third area, and the first damping piece 113 is connected to the third area. The second hanging piece 122 and the second damping piece 123 are arranged on opposite sides of the second drum body 121, which can optimize the stress of the second drum body 121 during use, and also avoid structural interference between the second hanging piece 122 and the first hanging piece 112.

[0038] It should be noted that the accommodation space 131 surrounded by the shell 13 can be a space surrounded by a standard box body of a single-drum washing machine, and the first drum group 11 and the second drum group 12 are hung in the space formed by the standard box body to obtain the functions of the two washing drums through the optimization of the layout in the standard box body space. Alternatively, the accommodation space 131 can also be two standard box body spaces surrounded by the shell 13, and the first drum group 11 and the second drum group 12 are hung in the respective spaces to realize their respective functions.

[0039] The distribution scheme of the first drum group 11 and the second drum group 12 will be described below by way of example with the first drum group 11 and the second drum group 12 being hung in a space formed by a standard box body:

[0040] In some embodiments, the profile feature size of the second drum body 121 can be smaller than the profile feature size of the first drum body 111, and the two washing drums with different sizes can optimize the space distribution in the accommodation space 131, improve the utilization rate of the accommodation space 131, and help to reduce the size of the washing machine. The profile feature size can be a size that can reflect the overall structure size of the first drum body 111 and the second drum body 121, for example, when the first drum body 111 and the second drum body 121 are circular, the profile feature size of the first drum body 111 and the second drum body 121 can be the outer diameter of the profile formed.

[0041] In some embodiments, the second cylinder body 121 is offset from the first cylinder body 111 in a second central plane 124 parallel to the direction of gravity, and the first central plane 115 and the second central plane 124 are arranged to effectively utilize the accommodation space 131 and improve the utilization rate of the accommodation space 131. The first central plane 115 can be the central axis plane of the first cylinder body 111 parallel to the direction of gravity, and the structure of the first cylinder body 111 on both sides of the first central plane 115 is symmetrical relative to the first central plane 115. Similarly, the second central plane 124 can be the central axis plane of the second cylinder body 121 parallel to the direction of gravity, and the structure of the second cylinder body 121 on both sides of the second central plane 124 is symmetrical relative to the second central plane 124. For example, when the profile feature size of the second cylinder body 121 is smaller than the profile feature size of the first cylinder body 111, the second central plane 124 is offset from the first central plane 115 to enable the second cylinder body 121 to utilize the space at the corner positions on both sides of the first cylinder body 111 and improve the space utilization rate.

[0042] In some embodiments, the second cylinder body 121 is located above the first cylinder body 111 in the direction of gravity to reduce the excessive occupation of the first cylinder body 111 and the second cylinder body 121 on the space of the accommodation space 131 perpendicular to the direction of gravity. In other embodiments, the second cylinder body 121 can also be located below the first cylinder body 111 in the direction of gravity.

[0043] In the above embodiments, the first cylinder group 11 can include a plurality of first cylinder bodies 111, and the second cylinder group 12 can include a plurality of second cylinder bodies 121. The distribution of the plurality of first cylinder groups 11 and the plurality of second cylinder groups 12 can be distributed according to the above schemes, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0044] In some embodiments, the second cylinder group 12 includes at least one pair of second shock absorbers 123, and the pair of second shock absorbers 123 are symmetrically arranged relative to the second central plane 124 of the second cylinder body 121 parallel to the direction of gravity. The symmetrically arranged second shock absorbers 123 can enable the left and right direction yaw positions to be close to each other and reduce the loss of the second suspension 122.

[0045] In other embodiments, an odd number of second shock absorbers 123 can also be provided to achieve the shock absorption effect through the separately arranged second shock absorbers 123. For example, the second cylinder group 12 includes three second shock absorbers 123, one pair of second shock absorbers 123 are symmetrically arranged relative to the second central plane 124 of the second cylinder body 121 parallel to the direction of gravity, and one second shock absorber 123 is independent of the above-mentioned pair of second shock absorbers 123 to achieve the shock absorption effect.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the damping direction of the second damping member 123 can be arranged obliquely relative to the second central plane 124 parallel to the direction of gravity of the second cylinder group 12. The oblique arrangement of the damping direction of the second damping member 123 enables the second damping member 123 to form a component force in the direction of gravity and a component force perpendicular to the direction of gravity, thereby obtaining a damping effect in the above two directions.

[0047] The second damping member 123 includes a second damping body 1231, a first connecting portion 1232 connected to one end of the second damping body 1231, and a second connecting portion 1233 connected to the other end of the second damping body 1231. The first connecting portion 1232 is fixedly connected to the second cylinder body 121, and the second connecting portion 1233 is fixedly connected to the assembly platform 114. The two ends of the second damping member 123 are connected to the second cylinder body 121 and the assembly platform 114 through the connecting portions, respectively, thereby improving the convenience and reliability of assembly connection.

[0048] Specifically, one of the first cylinder body 111 and the second connecting portion 1233 is provided with a connecting hole, and the other is provided with a connecting shaft. The connecting shaft is inserted into the connecting hole and fixed by a connecting pin to obtain a stable connection effect.

[0049] The present disclosure further provides a washing machine, which comprises the above washing cylinder assembly 1.

[0050] It should be noted that the above washing machine can be a drum washing machine.

[0051] The first cylinder group 11 and the second cylinder group 12 are arranged in the accommodation space 131 surrounded by the shell 13 of the washing cylinder assembly 1. The first cylinder body 111 of the first cylinder group 11 is suspended in the accommodation space 131, and the second cylinder body 121 of the second cylinder group 12 is connected to the assembly platform 114 of the first cylinder body 111 through the second damping member 123. The second cylinder body 121 achieves the damping effect for the second cylinder body 121 by means of the first cylinder body 111, thereby avoiding the space occupation caused by the damping connection with the shell 13. In addition, the assembly platform 114 formed by the first cylinder body 111 can reduce the connection difficulty with the second damping member 123, thereby improving the stability and damping effect.

[0052] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
