Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of clothes processing, and in particular to a clothes processing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, clothes processing devices have become an essential household appliance product in home life. The clothes processing device can generally include a washing machine, a drying machine, and a washing-drying integrated machine. In the washing and drying processes, the inner drum and the outer drum of the clothes processing device will rotate relatively, for example, in the washing process, the inner drum reciprocatingly rotates relative to the outer drum to wash clothes, or the inner drum rapidly rotates relative to the outer drum to spin dry clothes.

[0003] However, in the existing clothes processing device, when clothes are placed in the inner drum, the inner drum will be offset toward the side where the clothes are placed due to the heavy weight of the clothes and the placement position of the clothes in the inner drum being biased to one side of the inner drum. When the inner drum rotates, the inner drum will eccentrically rotate, causing the rotating shaft of the motor connected to the inner drum to rub against the inner drum, resulting in noise generation. Moreover, the eccentric rotation of the inner drum will cause abnormal vibration of the clothes processing device. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] The present application discloses a clothes processing device for improving abnormal vibration and noise problems generated when processing clothes.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application discloses a clothes processing device, comprising:

[0006] a box body;

[0007] an outer drum provided in the box body, the outer drum having a containing cavity;

[0008] an inner drum rotatably provided in the containing cavity;

[0009] the outer drum comprises:

[0010] an outer drum front cover;

[0011] an outer drum main body connected with the outer drum front cover along the axial direction of the inner drum and forming the containing cavity with the inner drum;

[0012] The clothes processing device further comprises a magnetic assembly;

[0013] The magnetic assembly comprises:

[0014] a first magnetic member provided on the inner wall surface of the outer drum front cover;

[0015] A second magnetic member is arranged on an inner wall surface of the inner cylinder and at least partially corresponds to the first magnetic member, and the second magnetic member has the same polarity as the side of the first magnetic member that faces the second magnetic member.

[0016] The application also discloses a clothes treatment device, which comprises:

[0017] A box body;

[0018] An outer cylinder is arranged in the box body, and the outer cylinder has a receiving cavity.

[0019] An inner cylinder is rotatably arranged in the receiving cavity.

[0020] The outer cylinder comprises:

[0021] An outer cylinder front cover;

[0022] An outer cylinder main body, which is connected to the outer cylinder front cover along the axial direction of the inner cylinder and forms the receiving cavity together with the inner cylinder.

[0023] The clothes treatment device further comprises a magnetic assembly.

[0024] The magnetic assembly comprises:

[0025] A first magnetic member is arranged on an inner wall surface of the outer cylinder front cover.

[0026] A second magnetic member is arranged on an inner wall surface of the inner cylinder and at least partially corresponds to the first magnetic member, and the second magnetic member is configured to provide a repulsive force to the first magnetic member.

[0027] The clothes treatment device of the application arranges a first magnetic member on an inner wall surface of an outer cylinder front cover, arranges a second magnetic member on an inner wall surface of an inner cylinder and corresponding to the first magnetic member, and the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member have the same polarity on the side that faces each other. On the one hand, the application utilizes the principle that the same polarity repels each other, and the repulsive force between the magnetic members offsets or balances the eccentric force generated by the inner cylinder in the working process due to the load, so as to reduce the vibration of the inner cylinder due to the eccentric force or the friction noise generated by the eccentric rotation of the inner cylinder and the motor shaft. On the other hand, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are spaced apart by the inner cylinder, avoiding the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member being arranged in the receiving cavity, reducing the possibility of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member colliding due to the eccentric rotation of the inner cylinder in the working process, and thus reducing the possibility of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member being damaged or falling off, and preventing the noise problem caused by the collision of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member.

[0028] In some possible implementation manners, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are located at the same horizontal position along the axial direction of the inner cylinder.

[0029] By adjusting the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member to the same horizontal position along the axial direction of the inner cylinder, that is, aligning or approximately aligning the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member, the relatively stable repulsive force between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member is facilitated, and the relative position between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder is facilitated to be adjusted.

[0030] In some possible implementation manners, the first magnetic member is arranged on the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder front cover around the axial direction of the inner cylinder, and the second magnetic member is arranged on the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder around the axial direction of the inner cylinder.

[0031] When the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are arranged in a whole circle around the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder front cover and the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder respectively, the whole outer wall surface of the inner cylinder around the axial direction is wrapped by the magnetic repulsion, so that the positions of the inner cylinder at all places can be maintained at approximately coaxial positions under the action of the magnetic repulsion, avoiding the eccentric rotation of the inner cylinder when rotating due to the deflection of the inner cylinder, and further preventing the problems of noise and abnormal vibration caused by the eccentric rotation of the inner cylinder.

[0032] In some possible implementation manners, the first magnetic member comprises a plurality of first sub-magnets, and the plurality of first sub-magnets are arranged at intervals around the axial direction of the inner cylinder; and / or,

[0033] The second magnetic member comprises a plurality of second sub-magnets, and the plurality of second sub-magnets are arranged at intervals around the axial direction of the inner cylinder.

[0034] By comprising a plurality of first sub-magnets and second sub-magnets to form the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are facilitated to be installed in a whole circle on the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder front cover and the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder respectively. In addition, the positions and quantities of the plurality of sub-magnets can be matched with each other, which is beneficial to adjust the magnetic field distribution between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member, and further facilitate to balance the eccentric force generated when the inner cylinder works.

[0035] In some possible implementation manners, the plurality of first sub-magnets are arranged in a whole circle around the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder front cover along the axial direction of the inner cylinder, and the plurality of second sub-magnets are arranged in a whole circle around the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder along the axial direction of the inner cylinder; and / or,

[0036] The number of the first sub-magnets is greater than or equal to the number of the second sub-magnets.

[0037] When the first sub-magnets and the second sub-magnets are arranged in a whole circle on the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder front cover and the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder respectively, taking the first sub-magnets as an example, the plurality of first sub-magnets are arranged in sequence and at intervals on the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder front cover, so that the first sub-magnets are evenly arranged on the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder front cover, which is conducive to the stability of the magnetic repulsion force between the first sub-magnets and the second sub-magnets, and is conducive to maintaining the position of the inner cylinder in the outer cylinder.

[0038] When the number of the first sub-magnets on the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder front cover is greater than the number of the second sub-magnets on the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder, it is conducive to generating greater magnetic repulsion force to push the inner cylinder, and further conducive to balancing the eccentric force of the inner cylinder in the direction of the outer cylinder when rotating.

[0039] In some possible implementation manners, the first magnetic member further comprises a first ring body, the first ring body is arranged in a ring around the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder front cover in the axial direction of the inner cylinder, and the plurality of first sub-magnets are arranged at intervals on the first ring body; and / or,

[0040] The second magnetic member further comprises a second ring body, the second ring body is arranged in a ring around the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder in the axial direction of the inner cylinder, and the plurality of second sub-magnets are arranged at intervals on the second ring body.

[0041] When installing the plurality of first sub-magnets, the plurality of first sub-magnets are first fixed by the first ring body, and then the first ring body is installed at the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder front cover, so as to realize the whole circle installation of the first sub-magnets on the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder front cover. When installing the plurality of second sub-magnets, the plurality of second sub-magnets are first fixed by the second ring body, and then the second ring body is installed at the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder front cover, so as to realize the whole circle installation of the second sub-magnets on the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder.

[0042] That is, by adopting the method of the present application, the installation of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member can be facilitated, so that when the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member comprise a plurality of sub-magnets, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member can be first installed as a whole and then installed on the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder respectively, which is conducive to simplifying the installation process and reducing the installation difficulty of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member on the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder respectively.

[0043] In some possible implementation manners, a plurality of first groove portions are arranged at intervals on the first ring body, and each first groove portion is configured to install each first sub-magnet; and / or,

[0044] A plurality of second groove portions are arranged at intervals on the second ring body, and each second groove portion is configured to install each second sub-magnet.

[0045] When the first sub-magnet is installed on the first ring body, a plurality of first slot portions are provided on the first ring body and spaced apart in the axial direction of the inner cylinder, and the position of the first sub-magnet on the first ring body is fixed by the first slot portion, so as to facilitate the installation of the first sub-magnet. When the second sub-magnet is installed on the second ring body, a plurality of second slot portions are provided on the second ring body and spaced apart in the axial direction of the inner cylinder, and the position of the second sub-magnet on the second ring body is fixed by the second slot portion, so as to facilitate the installation of the second sub-magnet.

[0046] In addition, by using the first slot portion and the second slot portion to accommodate the first sub-magnet and the second sub-magnet respectively, the protrusion height of the first sub-magnet and the second sub-magnet on the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder respectively can be avoided or reduced, so as to prevent the first sub-magnet from colliding with the inner cylinder, and the second sub-magnet from contacting the clothes in the inner cylinder when the clothes processing device is washing clothes, and to avoid the first sub-magnet and the second sub-magnet from falling off the first ring body and the second ring body.

[0047] In some possible implementation manners, the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder is provided with a plurality of ribs, the plurality of ribs are arranged in the axial direction of the inner cylinder and extend in the axial direction of the inner cylinder, and the second magnetic member is located at the front end of the ribs in the axial direction of the inner cylinder.

[0048] When the ribs are arranged on the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder, a space is left on the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder at the front end of the ribs in the axial direction of the inner cylinder, so as to arrange the second magnetic member. When the second magnetic member is installed, it is arranged at the position of the front end of the ribs, that is, the second magnetic member can be limited in position on the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder by the ribs, so as to correspond to the installation of the first magnetic member on the inner wall surface of the front cover of the outer cylinder.

[0049] In some possible implementation manners, the first magnetic member is snap-connected to the inner wall surface of the front cover of the outer cylinder, and / or the first magnetic member is screw-connected to the inner wall surface of the front cover; and / or,

[0050] The inner cylinder is made of metal, and the second magnetic member is magnetically connected to the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder.

[0051] In this application, when setting the first magnetic component, the cavity between the outer and inner cylinders allows for direct fixation of the first magnetic component to the inner wall of the outer cylinder front cover using snaps, screws, or other methods. This convenient operation avoids the need to redesign the mold for the outer cylinder front cover to accommodate the installation of the first magnetic component, thus reducing costs. When setting the second magnetic component, its position can be restricted by ribs, allowing it to be directly installed onto the metal inner cylinder via magnetic attraction. This eliminates the need for a new inner cylinder mold, further reducing costs and making installation of the second magnetic component more convenient. Furthermore, no additional components are required to mate with the second magnetic component, simplifying the installation process on the inner cylinder. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0068] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly.

[0070] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, clothes processing devices have become essential household appliances in home life. The clothes processing device can generally include a washing machine, a drying machine, and a washing-drying integrated machine. According to the structure, the clothes processing device can include a drum type, an impeller type, etc. Among them, in the washing and drying process, the inner drum and the outer drum of the clothes processing device will rotate relatively, for example, in the washing process, the inner drum reciprocatingly rotates relative to the outer drum to wash clothes, or the inner drum rotates quickly relative to the outer drum to spin dry clothes.

[0071] However, in the related art, when clothes are placed in the inner drum, the clothes are heavy and may be stacked on one side of the inner drum when the clothes are placed. In addition, the inner drum is connected in the axial direction of the inner drum by the power output shaft of the motor when the inner drum is installed, so that the inner drum forms a cantilever structure relative to the outer drum. When the inner drum is stacked with heavy clothes on one side, the cantilever structure of the inner drum causes the inner drum to deviate to one side of the outer drum. This causes the inner drum to easily eccentrically rotate due to the uneven weight inside the inner drum when the clothes processing device is working. The eccentric rotation of the inner drum can cause the inner drum to rub against the power output shaft of the motor and generate noise, and the eccentric rotation of the inner drum can easily cause the inner drum and the outer drum to vibrate abnormally, affecting the normal use of the clothes processing device.

[0072] Based on this, the present application discloses a clothes processing device. The clothes processing device generates a magnetic repulsion force between the inner drum and the outer drum through a magnetic assembly, balances the eccentric force generated when the inner drum eccentrically rotates by using the magnetic repulsion force, restores the inner drum to a coaxial position with the outer drum, avoids the inner drum rubbing against the power output shaft of the motor and generating noise, and also avoids abnormal vibration caused by the eccentric rotation of the inner drum, reduces the impact of the eccentric rotation of the inner drum on the use of the clothes processing device, and improves the user's experience.

[0073] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and the drawings.

[0074] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the present application discloses a clothes processing device 100, which includes a cabinet 1, an outer drum 2, and an inner drum 3.

[0075] The outer cylinder 2 is arranged in the cabinet 1, and the outer cylinder 2 has a receiving cavity 100a. The inner cylinder 3 is rotatably arranged in the receiving cavity 100a. The inner cylinder 3 rotates relative to the outer cylinder 2 to clean clothes in the inner cylinder 3. For example, the inner cylinder 3 reciprocatingly rotates relative to the outer cylinder 2 to clean clothes, or the inner cylinder 3 rapidly rotates relative to the outer cylinder 2 to spin dry clothes to achieve spin drying.

[0076] It can be understood that the clothes processing device 100 can include, but is not limited to, a washing machine, a drying machine, or a drying and washing integrated machine according to functions, and can include, but is not limited to, a pulsator type or a drum type according to clothes processing methods.

[0077] It should be noted that when the clothes processing device 100 is a pulsator washing machine, the clothes processing device 100 is placed on the ground, and the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3 is perpendicular to the ground. When the clothes processing device 100 is a drum washing machine, the clothes processing device 100 is placed on the ground, and the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3 is parallel to the ground or the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3 forms an acute angle with the ground. That is, the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3 of the clothes processing device 100 can be adjusted according to the placement mode of the clothes processing device 100.

[0078] It should be noted that in the Figure 1 In the example shown, the direction indicated by X is the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3, and the direction indicated by Y is the radial direction of the inner cylinder 3.

[0079] Taking the clothes processing device 100 as a drum-type washing machine as an example. The end of the cabinet 1 facing the user can be a front end, the end away from the user can be a rear end, the end of the cabinet used to be placed on the bottom surface can be a bottom end, and the other end can be a top end.

[0080] In some embodiments, the clothes processing device 100 further includes a control assembly (not shown). The control assembly can include a control panel and a mainboard. The control panel is arranged on the front surface of the cabinet 1 to facilitate user operation. The mainboard is arranged in the cabinet 1, and the mainboard is electrically connected with the control panel. The mainboard is used to receive a control signal and control the operation of the clothes processing device.

[0081] For example, the user inputs a control signal for clothes cleaning at the control panel. After receiving the control signal, the mainboard controls the clothes processing device 100 to perform clothes cleaning.

[0082] In some embodiments, the clothes processing device 100 further includes a motor. The motor is arranged in the cabinet 1, and the motor has a power output shaft. The power output shaft penetrates the outer cylinder 2 and is connected to the bottom of the inner cylinder 3. The power output shaft is coaxially arranged with the outer cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 3. The motor is used to drive the inner cylinder 3 to rotate relative to the outer cylinder 2.

[0083] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 100 further includes a water supply assembly configured to allow external water flow into the inner drum 3, thereby soaking and washing the garments in the inner drum 3.

[0084] The water supply components may include water inlets, water pipes, water valves, etc., which are not specifically limited in this application.

[0085] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 100 further includes a drainage assembly configured to drain water from the inner drum 3 to the outside of the garment handling device 100. The drainage assembly may include a drain outlet, a drain pipe, a drain valve, etc., which are not specifically limited herein.

[0086] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 100 further includes a shock-absorbing assembly disposed between the housing 1 and the outer cylinder 2. The shock-absorbing assembly includes multiple elastic elements and / or multiple dampers. The elastic elements buffer the vibration caused by the rotation of the inner cylinder 3 through elastic deformation, and the dampers reduce the vibration of the garment handling device 100 by absorbing energy.

[0087] For example, the shock absorption assembly can be disposed between the outer cylinder 2 and the housing 1. The shock absorption assembly connects the housing 1 and the outer cylinder 2 in the radial direction of the inner cylinder 3 to reduce the vibration of the outer cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 3 in the radial direction of the inner cylinder 3.

[0088] Optionally, the elastic element may be, but is not limited to, springs, sheet metal, etc., and this application does not make specific limitations.

[0089] Optionally, the number of elastic elements and dampers can be two, four, six, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit them.

[0090] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 100 further includes a cover (not shown), the housing 1 has an opening that communicates with the inner drum 3, and the cover is used to seal or open the opening to facilitate taking garments out of or putting garments into the inner drum 3.

[0091] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the outer cylinder 2 includes an outer cylinder front cover 21 and an outer cylinder body 22. The outer cylinder body 22 and the outer cylinder front cover 21 are connected along the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3 and form a receiving cavity 100a in the inner cylinder 3. That is, the outer cylinder body 22 and the inner cylinder 3 are spaced apart by the receiving cavity 100a, and the outer cylinder front cover 21 is disposed at the front end of the inner cylinder 3 along its axial direction.

[0092] In some embodiments, the outer cylinder front cover 21 and the outer cylinder body 22 can be connected by, for example, snap-fit ​​or screw connection.

[0093] In some embodiments, the inner drum 3 has a front end and a rear end along the axial direction, wherein the rear end is connected with the motor so as to be driven to rotate by the motor. The front end is in communication with the opening of the cabinet 1 so as to facilitate the loading of laundry.

[0094] In some embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus 100 further comprises a magnetic assembly 4. The magnetic assembly 4 is configured to provide a magnetic repulsion force between the inner drum 3 and the outer drum 2, especially at the front ends of the inner drum 2 and the outer drum 3, so that the inner drum 3 is kept coaxial with the outer drum 2 when the inner drum 3 rotates relative to the outer drum 2, thereby avoiding or alleviating the eccentric rotation of the inner drum 3.

[0095] Referring to Figures 4 to 8 Optionally, the magnetic assembly 4 comprises a first magnetic member 41 and a second magnetic member 42. The first magnetic member 41 is arranged on the inner wall surface 21a of the front cover of the outer drum 2, and the second magnetic member 42 is arranged on the inner wall surface 3a of the inner drum 3 and at least partially corresponds to the first magnetic member 41. The second magnetic member 42 has the same polarity as the side of the first magnetic member 41 that is close to the second magnetic member 42, that is, the side of the first magnetic member 41 that is close to the second magnetic member 42 can have either an S-pole or an N-pole, so that the second magnetic member 42 can be configured to provide a repulsion force to the first magnetic member 41, so that the inner drum 3 can be kept at a position substantially coaxial with the outer drum 2 due to the repulsion force.

[0096] The laundry treating apparatus 100 disclosed in the present application can keep the inner drum 3 at a position substantially coaxial with the outer drum 2 by arranging the first magnetic member 41 on the inner wall surface 21a of the front cover of the outer drum 2 and the second magnetic member 42 on the inner wall surface 3a of the inner drum 3, and using the principle that like poles repel each other, thereby avoiding the shift of the position of the inner drum 3 relative to the outer drum 2, and further reducing the eccentric force generated when the inner drum 3 rotates.

[0097] Referring to Figure 4 In addition, since the first magnetic member 41 is arranged on the inner wall surface 3a of the inner drum 3 and the second magnetic member 42 is arranged on the inner wall surface 21a of the front cover of the outer drum 2, that is, the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 42 are separated by the inner drum 3, the knocking of the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 42 caused by the shift of the inner drum 3 when the inner drum 3 rotates is avoided, the falling of the second magnetic member 42 and / or the first magnetic member 41 caused by the knocking is prevented, and the situation that the second magnetic member 42 and / or the first magnetic member 41 cannot provide the repulsion force to keep the inner drum 3 coaxial with the outer drum 2 is avoided.

[0098] Optionally, the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 42 can both be permanent magnets or electromagnets, or one of the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 42 is an electromagnet and the other is a permanent magnet, which is not specifically limited in the present application.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 42 are located at the same axial position of the inner cylinder 3. That is, the first magnetic member 41 is arranged at a position corresponding to the axial position of the inner cylinder 3, and the magnetic repulsion force between the two is stable, so that the position of the inner cylinder 3 relative to the outer cylinder 2 is maintained coaxially, and the deviation of the inner cylinder 3 is reduced.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first magnetic member 41 is arranged around the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3 on the inner wall surface 21a of the outer cylinder front cover. For example, when the first magnetic member 41 is arranged around the inner wall surface 21a of the outer cylinder front cover, the second magnetic member 42 located on the inner cylinder 3 can repel the first magnetic member 41 when rotated to any position, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the position of the inner cylinder 3 relative to the outer cylinder 2.

[0101] Alternatively, the second magnetic member 42 is arranged around the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3 on the inner wall surface 3a of the inner cylinder. For example, when the second magnetic member 42 is arranged around the inner wall surface 3a of the inner cylinder, the first magnetic member 41 located on the outer cylinder front cover 21 can repel the second magnetic member 42 when rotated to any position, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the position of the inner cylinder 3 relative to the outer cylinder 2.

[0102] For example, referring to Figures 4 to 6 When the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 42 are arranged around the inner wall surface 21a of the outer cylinder front cover and the inner wall surface 3a of the inner cylinder respectively, the outer wall surface of the inner cylinder 3 around its axial direction is wrapped by the magnetic repulsion force, so that the position of the inner cylinder 3 is maintained coaxially with the outer cylinder 2 under the action of the magnetic repulsion force, avoiding the deviation of the inner cylinder 3 and the eccentric rotation of the inner cylinder 3 when rotating, preventing the noise and abnormal vibration caused by eccentric rotation.

[0103] Alternatively, when the first magnetic member 41 is arranged around the inner wall surface 21a of the outer cylinder front cover, the first magnetic member 41 can be arranged in multiple sections, or the first magnetic member 41 can be arranged in a full circle.

[0104] For example, when the first magnetic member 41 is arranged in multiple sections on the inner wall surface 21a of the outer cylinder front cover, the first magnetic member 41 can be arranged to adapt to the shape of the inner wall surface 21a of the outer cylinder front cover, so as to facilitate the installation of the first magnetic member 41 on the inner wall surface 21a of the outer cylinder front cover. For example, the first magnetic member 41 can extend along the circumferential direction of the outer cylinder front cover 21, that is, the first magnetic member 41 can be an arc-shaped magnetic member.

[0105] Correspondingly, when the second magnetic member 42 is arranged around the inner wall surface 3a of the inner cylinder, the second magnetic member 42 can be arranged in multiple sections, or the second magnetic member 42 can be arranged in a full circle.

[0106] Exemplarily, when the second magnetic member 42 is arranged in multiple sections on the inner wall surface 3a of the inner cylinder, the second magnetic member 42 can be arranged to adapt to the shape of the inner wall surface 21a of the front cover of the outer cylinder, facilitating the installation of the second magnetic member 42 on the inner wall surface 21a of the front cover of the outer cylinder. For example, the second magnetic member 42 can extend along the circumferential direction of the inner cylinder 3, that is, the first magnetic member can be an arc-shaped magnetic member.

[0107] The present embodiment will be described by way of example with the first magnetic member arranged in a whole circle around the inner wall surface of the front cover of the outer cylinder, and the second magnetic member arranged in a whole circle around the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder.

[0108] Please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first magnetic member 41 includes a plurality of first sub-magnets 411. The first magnetic member 41 of the present application is provided with a plurality of first sub-magnets 411, which facilitates the adjustment of the number of first sub-magnets 411, the positions between the first sub-magnets 411, etc. when the first sub-magnets 411 are arranged on the front cover 21 of the outer cylinder, so as to adjust the range of the magnetic field generated by the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 42, and further facilitate the maintenance of the position of the inner cylinder 3 relative to the outer cylinder 2.

[0109] Alternatively, the plurality of first sub-magnets 411 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3. In this way, the magnetic field distribution at the front cover 21 of the outer cylinder is more uniform, which helps to avoid the shift of the inner cylinder 3.

[0110] Alternatively, the plurality of first sub-magnets 411 are arranged in a whole circle around the inner wall surface 21a of the front cover of the outer cylinder along the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3. Exemplarily, the plurality of first sub-magnets 411 are arranged in sequence and at intervals on the inner wall surface 21a of the front cover of the outer cylinder, so that the first sub-magnets 411 are uniformly arranged on the inner wall surface 21a of the front cover of the outer cylinder, which facilitates the stability of the magnetic field between the first sub-magnets 411 and the second sub-magnets 421, and further facilitates the maintenance of the coaxial position of the inner cylinder 3 in the outer cylinder 2.

[0111] In some embodiments, the second magnetic member 42 includes a plurality of second sub-magnets 421. The second magnetic member 42 of the present application is provided with a plurality of second sub-magnets 421, which facilitates the adjustment of the number of second sub-magnets 421, the positions between the second sub-magnets 421, etc. when the second sub-magnets 421 are arranged on the inner cylinder 3, so as to adjust the range of the magnetic field generated by the second magnetic member 42 and the first magnetic member 41, and further facilitate the maintenance of the position of the inner cylinder 3 relative to the outer cylinder 2.

[0112] Alternatively, the plurality of second sub-magnets 421 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3. In this way, the magnetic field distribution at the inner cylinder 3 is more uniform, which helps to avoid the shift of the inner cylinder 3.

[0113] Optionally, the plurality of second sub-magnets 421 are arranged along the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3 and surround the inner wall surface 3a of the inner cylinder 3. For example, the plurality of second sub-magnets 421 are arranged on the inner wall surface 21a of the outer cylinder front cover in sequence and at intervals, so that the second sub-magnets 421 are evenly arranged on the inner wall surface 21a of the outer cylinder front cover, which is conducive to the stability of the length between the first sub-magnets 411 and the second sub-magnets 421, and is conducive to maintaining the coaxial position of the inner cylinder 3 in the outer cylinder 2.

[0114] For example, Figure 7 In some embodiments, the number of first sub-magnets 411 is greater than or equal to the number of second sub-magnets 421.

[0115] In one example, when the number of first sub-magnets 411 is equal to the number of second sub-magnets 421, each first sub-magnet 411 can correspond to each second sub-magnet 421, which is conducive to forming a stable magnetic field between the inner cylinder 3 and the outer cylinder front cover 21.

[0116] In another example, when the number of first sub-magnets 411 is greater than the number of second sub-magnets 421, the magnetic repulsion can push the inner cylinder 3, which is conducive to balancing the eccentric force of the inner cylinder 3 when rotating towards the outer cylinder 2.

[0117] Optionally, the number of first sub-magnets 411 can be 60-70. For example, the number of first sub-magnets 411 can be 60-62, 61-63, 62-64, 63-65, 64-66, 65-67, 66-68, 67-69, 68-70, etc. For example, the number of first sub-magnets 411 can be 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, or 70, etc.

[0118] Optionally, the number of second sub-magnets 421 can be 60-70. For example, the number of second sub-magnets 421 can be 60-62, 61-63, 62-64, 63-65, 64-66, 65-67, 66-68, 67-69, 68-70, etc. For example, the number of second sub-magnets 421 can be 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, or 70, etc.

[0119] Optionally, the shape of the first sub-magnets 411 and the second sub-magnets 421 can be, but is not limited to, circular, triangular, quadrilateral, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0120] For example, Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first magnetic member 41 further comprises a first ring body 412, the first ring body 412 is arranged along the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3 and surrounds the inner wall surface 21a of the outer cylinder front cover, and the plurality of first sub-magnets 411 are arranged on the first ring body 412 at intervals.

[0121] Exemplarily, when installing the plurality of first sub-magnets 411, the plurality of first sub-magnets 411 are first fixed by the first ring body 412, and then the first ring body 412 is installed at the inner wall surface 21a of the outer cylinder front cover, so as to realize the whole-circle installation of the first sub-magnets 411 on the inner wall surface 21a of the outer cylinder front cover.

[0122] In some embodiments, the second magnetic member 42 further comprises a second ring body 422, which is arranged around the inner wall surface 3a of the inner cylinder 3 in the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3, and the plurality of second sub-magnets 421 are arranged on the second ring body 422 at intervals.

[0123] Exemplarily, when installing the plurality of second sub-magnets 421, the plurality of second sub-magnets 421 are first fixed by the second ring body 422, and then the second ring body 422 is installed at the inner wall surface 21a of the outer cylinder front cover, so as to realize the whole-circle installation of the second sub-magnets 421 on the inner wall surface 3a of the inner cylinder.

[0124] That is, by using the installation method of the first ring body 412 and the second ring body 422, the installation of the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 42 is facilitated, so that when the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 42 comprise a plurality of sub-magnets, the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 42 can be respectively installed as a whole and then installed on the outer cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 3, which is beneficial to simplify the installation process and reduce the installation difficulty of the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 42 on the outer cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 3.

[0125] Optionally, the material of the first ring body 412 and the second ring body 422 can be, but is not limited to, a magnet, plastic, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0126] Please refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, a plurality of first grooves 412a are arranged at intervals on the first ring body 412, and each first groove 412a is configured to install each first sub-magnet 411.

[0127] Exemplarily, when installing the first sub-magnets 411 on the first ring body 412, a plurality of first grooves 412a are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3 on the first ring body 412, and the positions of the first sub-magnets 411 on the first ring body 412 are fixed by the first grooves 412a, so as to facilitate the installation of the first sub-magnets 411.

[0128] Optionally, when the first sub-magnets 411 are installed in the first grooves 412a, they can be fixed by gluing, screwing, buckling, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0129] In some embodiments, the second ring body 422 is provided with a plurality of second groove portions 422a arranged at intervals, and each second groove portion 422a is configured to mount a second sub-magnet 421.

[0130] For example, when the second sub-magnet 421 is mounted on the second ring body 422, a plurality of second groove portions 422a are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3 on the second ring body 422, and the position of the second sub-magnet 421 on the second ring body 422 is fixed by the second groove portion 422a, so as to facilitate the mounting of the second sub-magnet 421.

[0131] In addition, by using the first groove portion 412a and the second groove portion 422a to accommodate the first sub-magnet 411 and the second sub-magnet 421 respectively, the protrusion height of the first sub-magnet 411 and the second sub-magnet 421 on the outer cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 3 respectively can be avoided or reduced, so as to prevent the first sub-magnet 411 from colliding with the inner cylinder 3, and the second sub-magnet 421 from contacting the clothes in the inner cylinder 3 when the clothes treatment device 100 is washing clothes, and avoid the first sub-magnet 411 and the second sub-magnet 421 from falling off the first ring body 412 and the second ring body 422.

[0132] Optionally, when the second sub-magnet 421 is mounted in the second groove portion 422a, it can be fixed by adhesion, screw fixation, buckle limiting, etc., which are not limited in the present application.

[0133] Please refer to Figure 9 In some embodiments, the inner wall surface 3a of the inner cylinder is provided with a plurality of ribs 31. For example, when the clothes treatment device 100 is a washing machine, the ribs 31 can drive the clothes to roll or rotate, so that the washing machine has a better cleaning effect on the clothes.

[0134] In some embodiments, the plurality of ribs 31 are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3, and the ribs 31 extend in the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3. By arranging longer ribs 31, the ribs 31 have a larger cleaning range when driving the clothes to be washed, which is beneficial to the cleaning of the clothes in the inner cylinder 3.

[0135] Optionally, the second magnetic member 42 is located at the front end of the rib 31 in the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3. For example, when the rib 31 is arranged on the inner wall surface 3a of the inner cylinder, a space is left at the front end of the rib 31 in the axial direction of the inner cylinder 3 on the inner wall surface 3a of the inner cylinder, so as to arrange the second magnetic member 42. When the second magnetic member 42 is mounted, it is arranged corresponding to the front end position of the rib 31, that is, the second magnetic member 42 uses the rib 31 to limit its position on the inner wall surface 3a of the inner cylinder, so as to correspond to the mounting of the first magnetic member 41 on the inner wall surface 21a of the front cover of the outer cylinder.

[0136] Optionally, the inner cylinder 3 can be made of metal, and the second magnetic component 42 can be magnetically connected to the inner wall surface 3a of the inner cylinder.

[0137] For example, when the second magnetic component 42 is set, since the position of the second magnetic component 42 can be limited by the rib 31, the second magnetic component 42 can be installed on the metal inner cylinder 3 by magnetic attraction, without the need to use a new inner cylinder 3 mold, reducing costs and making the installation of the second magnetic component 42 more convenient.

[0138] For example, when the second magnetic component 42 includes a second sub-magnet 421 and a second ring 422, the second ring 422 can also be a magnetic component. The second magnetic component 42 is magnetically attracted to the inner wall surface 3a of the inner cylinder to achieve the installation of the second magnetic component 42.

[0139] For example, when the second ring 422 is not a magnetic element, the second magnetic element 42 can be magnetically attracted to the inner cylinder 3 by the magnetism of the second sub-magnet 421.

[0140] Of course, it is understandable that the second magnetic component 42 can also be connected to the inner wall surface 3a of the inner cylinder by means of clips, screws, etc.

[0141] Optionally, the inner cylinder 3 may be made of, but is not limited to, stainless steel, iron, or other iron-containing alloy materials, etc., and this application does not make specific limitations.

[0142] In some embodiments, the first magnetic component 41 is snap-fitted to the inner wall surface 21a of the outer cylinder front cover, and / or the first magnetic component 41 is screwed to the inner wall surface of the front cover. In this application, when setting the first magnetic component 41, the accommodating cavity 100a between the outer cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 3 allows the first magnetic component 41 to be directly fixed to the inner wall surface 21a of the outer cylinder front cover using snap-fits, screws, or other methods. This is convenient and avoids the need to redesign the mold of the outer cylinder front cover 21 to accommodate the installation of the first magnetic component 41, thus reducing costs.

[0143] Please see Figure 10 In some embodiments, the garment handling device 100 further includes a counterweight 5 disposed on the outer surface of the outer cylinder 2. For example, when the inner cylinder 3 vibrates due to eccentric rotation, the counterweight 5 can increase the weight of the outer cylinder 2, reduce the vibration of the outer cylinder 2 caused by the inner cylinder 3, thereby reducing the overall vibration of the garment handling device 100.

[0144] Optionally, there may be multiple counterweights 5. For example, multiple counterweights 5 may be arranged at positions such as the outer tube front cover 21 and the outer tube body 22, so that the overall weight of the outer tube 2 is balanced relative to the overall weight of the clothing handling device 100.

[0145] Optionally, the number of the counterweights 5 can be, but is not limited to, two, three, four, etc., which is not specifically limited herein.

[0146] Optionally, the counterweights 5 can be installed by screws, buckles, etc., which is not specifically limited herein.

[0147] In some embodiments, the clothes treatment device 100 further comprises a sensor (not shown) arranged at the outer cylinder 2, which is electrically connected to the control assembly. The sensor is configured to detect the posture of the inner cylinder 3. For example, when the sensor detects that the posture of the inner cylinder 3 changes due to eccentric rotation, the sensor can send detection information to the control assembly. The control assembly controls the rotation of the motor through the detection information to adjust the rotation speed of the motor, so as to reduce the eccentric force generated by the rotation and reduce the vibration, or the control assembly controls the motor to stop rotating and sends a reminder signal, so as to manually adjust the position of the clothes in the inner cylinder 3 by the user.

[0148] The clothes treatment device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application is described in detail above, and the specific examples are applied to describe the principles and implementation modes of the present application. The above description of the embodiments is only used to help understand the clothes treatment device and its core idea of the present application. Meanwhile, for those skilled in the art, the specific implementation modes and application ranges can be changed according to the idea of the present application. In summary, the content of the specification should not be understood as a limitation of the present application.
