[0026] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0027] It should be noted that all actions involving the acquisition of signals, information, or data in this disclosure are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where the location is situated, and with authorization from the owner of the relevant device.

[0028] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are generally used to define the orientation of the drawing in the accompanying drawings, while "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself. The terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another and do not indicate sequence or importance.

[0029] With the development of clothing handling devices, more and more twin-tub structures are being used to handle different types of clothing, such as twin-tub washing machines, which have two washing tubs to wash different types of clothes. Because two washing tubs need to be installed, space must be used efficiently.

[0030] In related technologies, the layout of the two tubular garment processing devices is unreasonable, resulting in the two tubular bodies occupying a large space, thus making the overall garment processing device larger in size.

[0031] Therefore, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this disclosure provides a garment processing device, which may include a housing 1, a first cylinder 2, a second cylinder 3, and a shock absorption system. The first cylinder 2 is disposed within the housing 1; the second cylinder 3 is disposed within the housing 1; and the shock absorption system is connected between the housing 1 and the second cylinder 3. The ratio of the volume of the shock absorption system to the volume of the housing 1 can range from 0.024% to 0.045%. Specifically, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the ratio of the volume of the shock absorption system to the volume of the housing 1 ranges from 0.0385%. The smaller the space occupied by the shock absorption system within the housing, the more space is reserved for other components, such as the cylinder, water channels, and electrical control box. Simultaneously, a smaller proportion of the space occupied by the shock absorption system within the housing means a smaller range of vibration impact, thereby reducing the range of vibration transmitted from the cylinder to the housing.

[0032] The distance between the bottom end of the damping system and the bottom plate 13 of the cabinet 1 can be 600mm-800mm, and can be 650mm, 700mm, 750mm in particular. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the distance between the top end of the second cylinder body 3 and the bottom plate 13 of the cabinet 1 is 784mm, and the distance between the bottom end of the second cylinder body 3 and the bottom plate 13 of the cabinet 1 is 638mm.

[0033] The first cylinder body 2 can be any one of a washing cylinder and a washing and drying cylinder, and the second cylinder body 3 can be any one of a washing cylinder and a washing and drying cylinder, and both the first cylinder body 2 and the second cylinder body 3 have a washing function. The number of the second cylinder body 3 can be one or more. For example, as shown in Figure 1 The number of the second cylinder body 3 can be one. The specific number of the second cylinder body 3 can be determined according to the design requirements and space structure of the clothes processing equipment. When the number of the second cylinder body 3 is more than one, the plurality of second cylinder bodies 3 can share one damping system.

[0034] Through the above technical solution, by limiting the ratio range of the volume of the damping system to the volume of the cabinet, the layout of the first cylinder body, the second cylinder body and the damping system can be more compact, the limited space in the cabinet can be fully utilized, and the space utilization rate in the cabinet can be improved, so that the overall volume of the clothes processing equipment can be further reduced. The first cylinder body, the second cylinder body, the damping system and other components can be arranged as much as possible in the limited space of the clothes processing equipment, without increasing the size of the cabinet too much, avoiding the size of the entire clothes processing equipment being too large and occupying too much space, so that a double-cylinder washing machine with a small-size cabinet can be realized.

[0035] As an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 1 The damping system can include a damping connecting piece 42, and the second cylinder body 3 is connected to the cabinet 1 through the damping connecting piece 42. The second cylinder body 3 can be connected to the cabinet 1 through the damping connecting piece 42, one end of the damping connecting piece 42 can be connected to the top plate 12 of the cabinet 1, and the other end of the damping connecting piece 42 can be connected to the top or side of the second cylinder body 3, and the damping connecting piece 42 can provide a fixing function for the second cylinder body 3.

[0036] Referring to Figure 3 The damping connecting piece 42 can be a hanging spring and / or a damping piece and / or a screw. In some embodiments, the damping connecting piece 42 can be a hanging spring and / or a damping piece, which can provide damping and buffering effects for the second cylinder body 3 while fixing the second cylinder body 3, so as to reduce the vibration transmitted to the cabinet 1 when the second cylinder body 3 is working. In some embodiments, the damping connecting piece 42 can be a screw, which can enhance the fixing strength between the second cylinder body 3 and the cross beam 41, and avoid relative displacement between the second cylinder body 3 and the cross beam 41 in the working state.

[0037] As another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 , the damping system can also include a crossbeam 41 arranged at the upper end of the cabinet 1, and the second cylinder 3 is connected with the crossbeam 41 through a damping connector 42. The crossbeam 41 can be arranged at the upper end of the cabinet 1, one end of the damping connector 42 can be connected with the crossbeam 41, and the other end of the damping connector 42 can be connected with the top of the second cylinder 3, so that the second cylinder 3 is connected with the upper end of the cabinet 1 through the damping connector 42, thereby fixing the position of the second cylinder 3 in the cabinet 1. The crossbeam 41 can have a greater structural strength than the top plate 12 of the cabinet 1, so as to better fix the second cylinder 3 and provide better stability for the washing machine body. By arranging the crossbeam 41, the vibration generated by the second cylinder 3 during operation is first transmitted to the crossbeam 41, the crossbeam 41 vibrates under the influence of the second cylinder 3 and loses part of the vibration energy. This can avoid the direct connection of the second cylinder 3 with the cabinet 1, reduce the vibration transmitted from the second cylinder 3 to the cabinet 1, improve the stability during the operation of the washing machine, and reduce the noise during the operation of the washing machine.

[0038] Further, refer to Figure 2 , the crossbeam 41 can be fixedly connected to the side plate 11 of the cabinet 1 and / or the top plate 12 of the cabinet 1. The crossbeam 41 can have a greater structural strength than the plate body of the cabinet 1 by increasing the thickness, arranging reinforcing ribs or reinforcing lines, etc., so as to enable the crossbeam 41 to reinforce the side plate 11 and / or the top plate 12, to better fix the second cylinder 3, to provide better stability for the washing machine body, and in addition, the crossbeam 41 can also provide mounting positions for other components of the washing machine.

[0039] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 , the distance L1 between the crossbeam 41 and the top plate 12 of the cabinet 1 can be 15mm~30mm, and specifically can be 20mm, 25mm. The above arrangement has a gap between the crossbeam 41 and the top plate 12, so that when the crossbeam 41 vibrates, it is not directly transmitted to the top plate 12, thereby reducing the vibration of the top plate 12. At the same time, the reserved gap ensures that the gap is not too large to occupy too much space. In addition, the reserved gap can also be used to set other damping structures to assist in damping and reduce the vibration transmitted to the cabinet, such as compression springs, sponges and damping blocks, etc.

[0040] In some embodiments, the distance between the top end of the second cylinder 3 and the top plate 12 of the cabinet 1 can be 20mm~50mm, and in the implementation of the present disclosure, the distance between the top end of the second cylinder 3 and the top plate 12 of the cabinet 1 is 33mm. The above arrangement helps to maintain the distance between the second cylinder 3 and the cabinet 1, preventing the second cylinder 3 from colliding with the cabinet 1 when it is working.

[0041] In some embodiments, the distance between the bottom end of the second drum 3 and the bottom plate 13 of the cabinet 1 can be 500mm-665mm. In the implementation of the present disclosure, the distance between the bottom end of the second drum 3 and the bottom plate 13 of the cabinet 1 is 638mm. The above arrangement can arrange the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 in the limited space in the laundry treatment apparatus, fully utilize the limited space in the cabinet 1, and improve the space utilization rate in the cabinet 1.

[0042] Further, with reference to Figure 2 , the side plate 11 can include oppositely arranged first and second side plates, and the two ends of the cross beam 41 are respectively connected to the first and second side plates. By arranging the two ends of the cross beam 41 on different side plates 11, the cross beam 41 can have more available space in the limited cabinet 1 size, so that a cross beam 41 with a larger length size can be arranged in the cabinet 1.

[0043] According to some embodiments, with reference to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , the second drum 3 can be arranged above the side of the first drum 2, so that the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 can have sufficient spacing in a compact layout to avoid collision.

[0044] Specifically, the diameter of the first drum 2 can be the same as the diameter of the second drum 3, or the diameter of the first drum 2 can be greater than the diameter of the second drum 3. When the diameter of the first drum 2 is greater than the diameter of the second drum 3, the capacity of the first drum 2 can be greater than the capacity of the second drum 3, and by reducing the diameter of the second drum 3, more installation space is provided for the first drum 2, so that the size of the first drum 2 can be increased to meet the demand for large capacity. Specifically, the first drum 2 can be a main washing drum for washing adult clothes, which requires a large capacity, and the second drum 3 can be a secondary washing drum for washing baby clothes, which requires a small capacity.

[0045] In some embodiments, the diameter of the first drum 2 can be 500mm-545mm, which enables the first drum 2 to have sufficient volume to meet the user's demand for single large washing or drying, and the diameter of the second drum 3 can be 150mm-200mm, which enables the second drum 3 to provide sufficient space for the first drum 2 while ensuring a certain volume. When the second drum 3 is a small drum with a small diameter, the above shock absorption system occupies a certain proportion in the cabinet, which can provide sufficient installation space for the first drum 2 with a larger diameter. The length, width and height of the above cabinet are the size of a conventional single-drum washing machine.

[0046] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above with reference to the drawings, but the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details in the above-described embodiments. Various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present disclosure within the technical concept of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0047] In addition, it should be noted that each specific technical feature 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.

[0048] In addition, various different embodiments of the present disclosure can also be combined in any appropriate manner, as long as they do not deviate from the idea of the present disclosure, and they should also be considered as disclosed by the present disclosure.
