[0002] With the development of the home appliance industry, garment cleaning and drying equipment has become increasingly popular. In related technologies, garment cleaning equipment typically has a motor mounted on its base to provide driving force. Currently, the mainstream method of motor fixing is to use screws to secure an integrated mounting bracket to the base, thus fixing the motor in place. However, due to the relatively poor structural strength of this type of bracket, there is a risk of the bracket falling off or breaking during assembly, transportation, or motor operation, affecting the motor's fixing effect.

[0034] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] This application provides a garment processing device, which can be a dryer with only drying function, or a washer-dryer combo with washing and drying functions, etc., without specific limitations. The garment processing device provided in this application can solve the problem of existing motor fixing brackets being prone to detachment or breakage. The following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a garment processing device 100 provided in one embodiment of this application. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The clothing processing device 100 provided in this application embodiment includes a base 1, a motor 2, and a fixing frame 3.

[0038] The garment processing device 100 typically has a housing (not shown) that forms its external structure. The space formed inside the housing is used to install the components of the garment processing device 100, such as an inner drum (not shown) for holding garments, a motor 2 for providing driving force, a condenser (not shown), an evaporator (not shown), etc. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The base 1 can be disposed at the bottom of the garment processing device 100 in the direction of gravity, and is used to support some of the components of the garment processing device 100. Specifically, the base 1 can be set as part of the shell, and can be placed directly on the ground, or it can be disposed inside the shell. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0039] Please see Figure 9 The motor 2 includes a motor body and a housing 22 disposed outside the motor body. The motor body has a drive shaft 21 for outputting power, and a drive wheel 23 is disposed at one end of the drive shaft 21. The drive wheel 23 can be connected to the inner cylinder via a belt. It can be understood that the axial direction of the motor 2 refers to the direction along the central axis of the drive shaft 21. In some embodiments, the motor 2 has a first end 221 and a second end 222 disposed opposite to each other in its axial direction. The first end 221 and the second end 222 can specifically be the two ends of the housing 22. To better fix the motor 2, the first end 221 and / or the second end 222 can be fixed.

[0040] In some garment processing equipment 100, an integrated mounting bracket is used to fix the motor 2. This mounting bracket has a circular hole at the top and a screw hole at the bottom. During assembly, one end of the motor 2 is inserted into the circular hole, and then the bottom of the mounting bracket is bolted to the base 1. This type of bracket has relatively low structural strength, and because its lower part needs to bear the weight of the motor 2, the bolts connecting its lower part to the base 1 need to withstand significant force when the motor 2 shakes during transportation or operation, making them prone to deformation. This can lead to problems such as deformation and detachment of the mounting bracket. Furthermore, because the motor 2 is heavy, and during actual installation, one end of the motor 2 must first be inserted into the circular hole before installing the mounting bracket, and the screw hole of the mounting bracket is at the bottom, it can easily be blocked by components of the motor 2 such as the transmission wheel 23, thus increasing the difficulty of assembling the motor 2.

[0041] In view of this, in the clothing processing device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application, a support frame 11 is integrally formed on the base 1, at least a portion of the motor 2 is disposed on the support frame 11, and the fixing frame 3 is installed on the support frame 11 and together with the support frame 11 fixes the motor 2.

[0042] The garment processing equipment 100 provided in this application uses a support frame 11 and a fixing frame 3 to fix the motor 2. The support frame 11 and the base 1 are designed as an integral structure. This method enhances the structural strength of the support frame 11. The support frame 11 with this structure is not easy to deform under the gravity of the motor 2 or under the external force pulled by the shaking of the motor 2, so it is not easy to detach from the base 1 or break. This makes the fixing effect of the motor 2 more stable and helps to improve the quality and reliability of the garment processing equipment 100.

[0043] In some embodiments, in the direction of gravity, the fixing frame 3 is disposed above the support frame 11, the lower end face of the fixing frame 3 is disposed opposite to the upper end face of the support frame 11, and the lower end face of the fixing frame 3 and the upper end face of the support frame 11 together define a first clamping structure, which can clamp the motor 2 and fix the motor 2.

[0044] Further, please refer to Figure 2The upper end face of the support frame 11 is recessed with a first arc portion 111, and the first arc portion 111 extends through the support frame 11 to two opposite sides along the axial direction of the motor 2; the lower end face of the fixing frame 3 is recessed to form a second arc portion 31, and the second arc portion 31 extends through the fixing frame 3 to two opposite sides along the axial direction of the motor 2; the annular hole 114 formed by the first arc portion 111 and the second arc portion 31 constitutes the first clamping structure. The first arc portion 111 is formed on the upper end face of the support frame 11, recessed downwards from its upper end face, and can specifically be configured as an arc-shaped groove extending through the support frame 11. The first arc portion 111 is used to support the motor 2, for example, it can be used to support the first end 221 of the motor 2. To better fix the motor 2, the shape and radius of the first arc portion 111 can be designed to match the shape of the first end 221 of the motor 2, so that when the first end 221 is placed on the first arc portion 111, the inner wall surface of the first arc portion 111 can abut against the motor 2 at various points. For example, it can be designed as a semi-circular groove. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 6 The second arc portion 31 is formed on the lower end surface of the fixing frame 3, recessed upwards from its lower end surface. Specifically, it can be configured as an arc-shaped groove penetrating the fixing frame 3. The second arc portion 31 can restrict and fix the first end 221 of the motor 2. The arc-shaped groove formed by the second arc portion 31 is arranged opposite to the arc-shaped groove formed by the first arc portion 111. When the fixing frame 3 is installed on the support frame 11, the two arc-shaped grooves combine to form an annular hole 114. The annular hole 114 can clamp the first end 221 of the motor 2, thereby fixing the motor 2. To better fix the motor 2, the shape and radius of the arc of the second arc portion 31 can be designed to match the shape of the first end 221 of the motor 2, so that the annular hole 114 can be adapted to the shape of the first end 221 of the motor 2. When the first end 221 passes through the annular hole 114, the wall of the annular hole 114 can abut against the motor 2.

[0045] Because the fixing frame 3 and the support frame 11 are separate upper and lower parts, the weight of the motor 2 is mainly supported by the support frame 11. This makes the fixing frame 3 less prone to deformation under stress, and the connection between the fixing frame 3 and the support frame 11 less likely to be damaged under stress. This results in a more stable fixation of the motor 2, contributing to improved reliability of the garment processing equipment 100. Furthermore, this design simplifies the assembly of the motor 2. Simply place one end of the motor 2 on the support frame 11, support it with the support frame 11, and then install the fixing frame 3 to secure the motor 2. Since the connection between the fixing frame 3 and the support frame 11 is relatively high and unobstructed, bolt installation is easier, thus improving production efficiency.

[0046] The fixing bracket 3 is detachably mounted on the support frame 11, specifically by screwing it to the support frame 11 or by snapping it into place. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 In some embodiments, the upper surface of the support frame 11 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 113 for fixing the fixing frame 3. The fixing frame 3 is provided with a plurality of through holes 33 corresponding to the plurality of mounting holes 113 for bolts to pass through. Each mounting hole 113 corresponds to one through hole 33. After the bolt passes through the through hole 33, it is installed into the mounting hole 113, thereby realizing the connection between the fixing frame 3 and the support frame 11. The number of mounting holes 113 and through holes 33 can be two, three or more.

[0047] In some embodiments, at least two of the plurality of mounting holes 113 are respectively located on both sides of the first arc portion 111, and similarly, at least two of the plurality of through holes 33 are respectively located on both sides of the second arc portion 31. In this way, both ends of the fixing bracket 3 can be fixed, and the fixing bracket 3 can be installed stably.

[0048] A positioning protrusion 112 is provided on one of the upper end face of the support frame 11 and the lower end face of the fixing frame 3, and a positioning groove 32 is formed on the other end corresponding to the positioning protrusion 112. The positioning protrusion 112 extends in the vertical direction, and the shape of the positioning groove 32 can be any concave structure that can cooperate with and accommodate the positioning protrusion 112, such as a groove structure with a groove bottom or a through hole structure. The groove depth direction of the positioning groove 32 is consistent with the vertical direction. For example, in some embodiments, the upper end face of the support frame 11 has an upwardly extending positioning protrusion 112, and the lower end face of the fixing frame 3 has a positioning groove 32 recessed at the position corresponding to the positioning protrusion 112; in other embodiments, the lower end face of the fixing frame 3 has a downwardly extending positioning protrusion 112, and the upper end face of the support frame 11 has a positioning groove 32 recessed at the position corresponding to the positioning protrusion 112. When the fixing frame 3 is installed on the support frame 11, the positioning protrusion 112 can be inserted into the corresponding positioning groove 32 to achieve positioning installation. The positioning protrusion 112 and the positioning groove 32 are designed to help the fixing frame 3 be better aligned and installed, which facilitates the subsequent installation of bolts. On the other hand, the positioning protrusion 112 extends into the positioning groove 32, which can restrict the fixing frame 3 in the horizontal direction and prevent it from lateral displacement under the action of external force. This can enhance its installation strength to a certain extent and prevent the motor 2 from falling off.

[0049] The number of positioning protrusions 112 can be one, two, three, or more. The number of positioning grooves 32 is consistent with the number of positioning protrusions 112, and similarly, can be one, two, three, or more. In some embodiments, multiple positioning protrusions 112 and multiple positioning grooves 32 are provided, with each of the multiple positioning grooves 32 corresponding one-to-one with a multiple positioning protrusion 112. Multiple sets of positioning grooves 32 and positioning protrusions 112 help to better align the installation and enhance the installation strength.

[0050] Furthermore, in some embodiments, at least two of the plurality of positioning protrusions 112 are respectively disposed on both sides of the first clamping structure; in this way, both ends of the fixing frame 3 can be positioned, and its function can be better utilized.

[0051] The support frame 11 is generally columnar or block-shaped and stands vertically on the base 1. It can be understood that, in this text, "vertical" or "vertical direction" can refer to the direction perpendicular to the mounting surface of the base 1 used to mount the motor 2. Since the mounting surface of the base 1 is usually parallel to the ground, "vertical" in this text can also be understood as the direction of gravity, or the up-down direction. Figure 4 As shown, the support frame 11 has a thickness in the axial direction of the motor 2. The thickness of the support frame 11 gradually decreases in the direction away from the base 1. That is, the thickness D2 of the top of the support frame 11 is less than the thickness of its bottom. Thus, the cross-section of the support frame 11 is approximately trapezoidal, which helps to further enhance its structural strength.

[0052] In some specific embodiments, the thickness of the bottom of the support frame 11 is 29-40 mm, for example, it can be 29 mm, 30 mm, 32 mm, 35 mm, 38 mm, 40 mm, or any two of the above values. This embodiment increases the thickness of the support frame 11, making it more stable and helping to enhance its structural strength. The thickness of the top of the support frame 11 is 15-25 mm, for example, it can be 15 mm, 17 mm, 20 mm, 23 mm, 25 mm, or any two of the above values. This saves material and provides sufficient space for the transmission wheel 23 of the motor 2, avoiding interference.

[0053] The specific shape of the fixing frame 3 can be implemented in various ways. For example, the overall design can be a strip block with a flat upper surface and a concave lower surface, or it can be like... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the fixing frame 3 is configured such that the middle part of its length direction is arched upward, forming an arch on its upper side and a recess on its lower side corresponding to the position of the arch, the recess constituting the aforementioned second arc 31.

[0054] To further increase the strength of the fixing frame 3, in some embodiments, multiple reinforcing ribs are also provided on the upper surface of the fixing frame 3. The multiple reinforcing ribs include multiple first reinforcing ribs 34 and at least one second reinforcing rib 35, wherein the first reinforcing ribs 34 extend along the axial direction of the motor 2, and the second reinforcing ribs 35 extend in a direction intersecting with the axial direction of the motor 2. The first reinforcing ribs 34 and the second reinforcing ribs 35 are staggered, which helps to improve the strength of the fixing frame 3.

[0055] A barrier 12 is also formed on the base 1, and the barrier 12 is vertically arranged on the base 1. The clothing processing device 100 also includes a cover plate 4, which covers the barrier 12, thereby defining a chamber together with the barrier 12 and the base 1. This chamber can be used to install devices such as evaporators and condensers. The barrier 12 includes a support part 121 that is opposite to and spaced apart from the support frame 11. A first groove 1211 is formed at the upper end of the support part 121. The cover plate 4 forms a second groove 41 corresponding to the position of the first groove 1211. The hole enclosed by the first groove 1211 and the second groove 41 constitutes a second clamping structure. The first end 221 is clamped between the fixing frame 3 and the support frame 11, and the second end 222 is clamped in the second clamping structure, thereby better fixing the motor 2.
