Figures 1-3 As shown, the barrel assembly has two parts, mounted on the bottom cover 1, with an inlet 211 at the upper side and an outlet 212 at the lower side. Exemplarily, the barrel assembly includes an outer barrel 21, an inner barrel 22, and a lid 23. The outer barrel 21 is a hollow structure with its opening facing upwards, mounted on the bottom cover 1. The inner barrel 22 is also a hollow structure with its opening facing upwards, rotatably mounted inside the outer barrel 21. Several through holes 221 are formed through the side of the inner barrel 22, connecting the interior of the inner barrel 22 to the interior of the outer barrel 21. The lid 23 is located at the upper end of the outer barrel 21. The inlet 211 is located at the upper side of the outer barrel 21, and the outlet 212 is located at the lower side of the outer barrel 21.

[0035] A water inlet valve 11 is mounted on the bottom cover 1. The water inlet valve 11 has one inlet end and two outlet ends. The two outlet ends are located inside the bottom cover 1.

[0044] In this embodiment, the shock absorber 5 is used instead of the traditional suspension rod shock absorber, which is highly modular and easy to install and disassemble.

[0045] Third embodiment:

[0046] Based on the first or second embodiment, the third embodiment has been further optimized and refined.

[0047] Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of the barrel assembly of the multifunctional double-barrel drying and washing device of this utility model, with the symmetrical plane of the first air inlet as the cross-section. Figure 6 This is an isometric view of the drum lid and air guide table in the multifunctional double-drum drying and washing device of this utility model. Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a first air inlet 214 is provided on the upper side of the outer tub 21, which is higher than the inner tub 22. A first air outlet 215 is provided on the lower side of the outer tub 21. The multi-functional double-tub washing and drying device also includes a drying mechanism, which includes an air supply component 3, an air guide platform 231, and an air outlet pipe 4. The air supply component 3 is located on the side of the outer tub 21 and supplies air to the first air inlet 214. The air guide platform 231 is a frustum-shaped inverted cone and is located at the lower end of the tub lid 23. The lower end of the air guide platform 231 extends into the inner tub 22. The lower end of the air guide platform 231 is a slope 232, which faces the first air inlet 214. The end of the slope 232 near the first air inlet 214 is higher than the first air inlet 214, and the end of the slope 232 away from the first air inlet 214 extends into the inner tub 22. The air outlet pipe 4 is located on the side of the outer tub 21, and its first end is connected to the first air outlet 215. Figure 7This is a bottom view of the bottom cover of the multifunctional double-barrel drying and washing device of this utility model. Figure 7 As shown, the bottom cover 1 has a second air inlet 13 and a second air outlet 14, and the second end of the air outlet pipe 4 is connected to the second air outlet 14.

[0048] Figure 8 This is an exploded view of the air supply component in the multifunctional double-barrel drying and washing device of this utility model. Figure 8 As shown, exemplarily, the air supply assembly 3 includes a fan 31, an air inlet duct 32, and a heating element 33. The fan 31 is disposed on the side of the outer tub 21. The air inlet duct 32 is disposed on the side of the outer tub 21, with its first end connected to the air outlet of the fan 31 and its second end connected to the first air inlet 214. The heating element 33 is disposed inside the air inlet duct 32. Specifically, the first end is the end closer to the air inlet direction, and the second end is the end closer to the air outlet direction. The air inlet duct 32 includes a first pipe 321 and a second pipe 322. The air inlet of the fan 31 is located outside the fan 31, drawing in external air through the second air inlet 13, and the air outlet is located at the upper end of the fan 31. The first pipe 321 is vertically fixed to the side of the outer tub 21, with its first end connected to the air outlet of the fan 31. The second pipe 322 is horizontally disposed, snapped into the first air inlet 214, with its first end connected to the second end of the first pipe 321 and its second end connected to the inside of the outer tub 21. The heating element 33 is an electric heating wire or a heat pump, etc. The air outlet duct 4 includes a third pipe 41, a fourth pipe 42, and a connecting pipe 43. The third pipe 41 is vertically arranged, with its first end connected to the first air outlet 215. The fourth pipe 42 is also vertically arranged. The connecting pipe 43 is a hollow structure with its opening facing downwards, and an internal partition is installed. The partition divides the interior of the connecting pipe 43 into a 180° bend channel. The first end of the connecting pipe 43 connects to the second end of the third pipe 41, and the second end of the connecting pipe 43 connects to the first end of the fourth pipe 42. By setting the third pipe 41 and the fourth pipe 42 to bend 180°, the air containing water vapor condenses as it rises in the third pipe 41, causing the moisture to flow back, reducing the moisture content of the air discharged from the drying mechanism, preventing water vapor from corroding items near the second end of the air outlet duct 4, and improving equipment reliability.

[0049] In this embodiment, air is supplied to the first air inlet 214 through the air supply component 3 during operation. Since the end of the inclined surface 232 near the first air inlet 214 is higher than the lower end of the first air inlet 214, and the end of the inclined surface 232 away from the first air inlet 214 extends into the inner tub 22, the air blown out of the first air inlet 214 can make sufficient contact with the inclined surface 232. Moreover, the projected area of ​​the inclined surface 232 in the inner tub 22 is large. The air is guided by the inclined surface 232 into the inner tub 22 and blown evenly to the clothes to be dried over a large area. This allows the air to effectively pass through the clothes and remove the moisture from them. The air then enters the outer tub 21 through the through hole 221 and is finally discharged from the tub assembly through the first air outlet 215. The structure is simple and the drying effect is good.

[0050] In this embodiment, by installing a drying mechanism on each barrel assembly of the multifunctional double-barrel drying and washing device, the double-barrel drying and washing device has an independent drying function. The drying mechanism occupies little space, reducing the height of the drying and washing device, which is convenient for production and use, and is especially suitable for double-barrel drying and washing devices.

[0051] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0052] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
