[0028] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, the same numbers refer to the same elements throughout the drawings. The implementation described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they only represent examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0029] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the orientation words such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right" are generally defined as the direction of the drawing surface, and "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer of the contour of each component itself. The terms "first", "second" are used to distinguish one element from another element, and do not have sequential and important meanings.

[0030] With the development of laundry treatment devices, more and more double-cylinder structures are used to realize different laundry treatments, such as double-cylinder washing machines, which are provided with two washing cylinders to realize the washing of different laundry. Since two washing cylinders need to be arranged, the space needs to be reasonably utilized.

[0031] The layout of the two cylinders in the double-cylinder laundry treatment device in the related art is unreasonable, resulting in a larger space occupied by the two cylinders, and thus a larger size of the entire laundry treatment device.

[0032] Therefore, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The present disclosure provides a laundry treatment device, which can include a cabinet 1, a first cylinder 2, a second cylinder 3, and a damping system, wherein the first cylinder 2 is arranged in the cabinet 1; the second cylinder 3 is arranged in the cabinet 1 and above the first cylinder 2; and the damping system is connected between the cabinet 1 and the second cylinder 3, wherein the distance L1 between the bottom end of the damping system and the bottom plate 11 of the cabinet 1 can be 600mm-800mm, and specifically can be 650mm, 700mm, 750mm. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the distance between the top end of the second cylinder 3 and the bottom plate 11 of the cabinet 1 is 784mm, and the distance between the bottom end of the second cylinder 3 and the bottom plate 11 of the cabinet 1 is 638mm.

[0033] The first cylinder 2 can be any one of a washing cylinder and a washing and drying cylinder, and the second cylinder 3 can be any one of a washing cylinder and a washing and drying cylinder, and the first cylinder 2 and the second cylinder 3 both have a washing function. The number of the second cylinder 3 can be one or more, for example, as shown in Figure 1 The number of the second cylinder 3 can be one. The specific number of the second cylinder 3 can be determined according to the design requirements and space structure of the laundry treatment device. When the number of the second cylinder 3 is multiple, multiple second cylinders 3 can share one damping system.

[0034] By limiting the distance between the bottom end of the damping system and the bottom plate of the cabinet, the layout of the first cylinder, the second cylinder and the damping system is more compact, the limited space in the cabinet is fully utilized, and the space utilization in the cabinet is improved, so that the overall volume of the clothes treatment equipment can be further reduced. The first cylinder, the second cylinder, the damping system and other components can be arranged as much as possible in the limited space of the clothes treatment equipment, without increasing the size of the cabinet too much, avoiding the size of the entire clothes treatment equipment being too large and occupying too much space.

[0035] In addition, since the second cylinder 3 is located above the first cylinder 2 and is relatively high, the vibration of the second cylinder 3 during operation will affect the overall balance of the washing machine. When the damping system of the second cylinder 3 is within the above height range, the influence of its own vibration on the overall balance of the cabinet is reduced, avoiding the imbalance of the cabinet caused by vibration.

[0036] As an example embodiment of the present disclosure, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 The damping system can include a cross beam 41 and a damping connecting piece 42, wherein the cross beam 41 is arranged at the upper end of the cabinet 1; the second cylinder 3 is connected to the cross beam 41 through the damping connecting piece 42. The cross beam 41 can be arranged at the upper end of the cabinet 1, one end of the damping connecting piece 42 can be connected to the cross beam 41, and the other end of the damping connecting piece 42 can be connected to the top of the second cylinder 3. The second cylinder 3 is connected to the upper end of the cabinet 1 through the damping connecting piece 42, so that the position of the second cylinder 3 in the cabinet 1 is fixed. The cross beam 41 can have a greater structural strength than the top plate 13 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 cross beam 41, the vibration generated by the second cylinder 3 during operation is first transmitted to the cross beam 41, the cross beam 41 vibrates under the influence of the second cylinder 3 and dissipates 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 of the washing machine during operation, and reduce the noise during operation of the washing machine.

[0037] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The cross beam 41 can be fixedly connected to the side plate 12 of the cabinet 1 and / or the top plate 13 of the cabinet 1. The cross beam 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 cross beam 41 to reinforce the side plate 12 and / or the top plate 13, better fix the second cylinder 3, provide better stability for the washing machine body, and additionally provide mounting positions for other components of the washing machine.

[0038] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1The distance L2 between the crossbeam 41 and the top plate 13 of the cabinet 1 can be 15mm-30mm, and can be 20mm or 25mm. The above setting makes a gap between the crossbeam 41 and the top plate 13, and when the crossbeam 41 vibrates, the vibration is not directly transmitted to the top plate 13, and the vibration of the top plate 13 can be reduced. At the same time, the gap is reserved, and 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, reduce the vibration transmitted to the cabinet, such as compression springs, sponges, and damping blocks.

[0039] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 The distance L3 between the top end of the second cylinder 3 and the top plate 13 of the cabinet 1 can be 20mm-50mm, and in the implementation of the present disclosure, the distance L3 between the top end of the second cylinder 3 and the top plate 13 of the cabinet 1 is 33mm. The above setting helps to keep the second cylinder 3 away from the cabinet 1, and prevents the second cylinder 3 from colliding with the cabinet 1 when working.

[0040] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 The distance L4 between the bottom end of the second cylinder 3 and the bottom plate 11 of the cabinet 1 can be 500mm-665mm, and in the implementation of the present disclosure, the distance L4 between the bottom end of the second cylinder 3 and the bottom plate 11 of the cabinet 1 is 638mm. The above setting can arrange the first cylinder 2 and the second cylinder 3 in the limited space of the clothes treatment equipment, fully utilize the limited space in the cabinet 1, and improve the space utilization rate in the cabinet 1. In addition, the distance L4 makes the second cylinder 3 face the user's hand, which is the best height for the user to take the clothes, and is convenient for the user to take the clothes.

[0041] Further, referring to Figure 2 The side plate 12 can include a first side plate and a second side plate arranged opposite to each other, and the two ends of the crossbeam 41 are connected to the first side plate and the second side plate, respectively. By arranging the two ends of the crossbeam 41 on different side plates 12, the crossbeam 41 can have more available space in the limited size of the cabinet 1, so that a crossbeam 41 with a larger length can be arranged in the cabinet 1.

[0042] In some embodiments, 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 3 while fixing the second cylinder 3, so as to reduce the vibration transmitted to the cabinet 1 when the second cylinder 3 works. In some embodiments, the damping connecting piece 42 can be a screw, which can enhance the fixing strength between the second cylinder 3 and the crossbeam 41, and avoid relative displacement between the second cylinder 3 and the crossbeam 41 in the working state.

[0043] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the second cylinder 3 can be arranged above the side of the first cylinder 2, and the diameter of the first cylinder 2 can be greater than the diameter of the second cylinder 3, so that the capacity of the first cylinder 2 can be greater than the capacity of the second cylinder 3, and by reducing the diameter of the second cylinder 3, a larger installation space is provided for the first cylinder 2, so that the size of the first cylinder 2 can be increased and meet the needs of large capacity. Specifically, the first cylinder 2 can be a main washing cylinder for washing adult clothes, which requires a large capacity, and the second cylinder 3 can be a secondary washing cylinder for washing baby clothes, which requires a small capacity. The present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the diameter of the first cylinder 2 and the diameter of the second cylinder 3 can be configured according to the functional design requirements of the washing machine. For example, the diameter of the first cylinder 2 can be the same as the diameter of the second cylinder 3.

[0044] In some embodiments, the diameter of the first cylinder 2 can be 500mm~545mm, which makes the first cylinder 2 have enough volume to meet the needs of single large washing or drying of users, and the diameter of the second cylinder 3 can be 150mm~200mm, which makes the second cylinder 3 provide enough space for the first cylinder 2 while ensuring its own certain volume.

[0045] In the above detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which show by way of illustration specific aspects in which the present disclosure can be practiced. In this regard, reference is made to the orientation of the described figures in using terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like to indicate directional or positional relationships.
