[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, their requirements for the functions of laundry equipment are also increasing, and the types and quantities of components in laundry equipment are also increasing. Therefore, how to conveniently arrange the washing drum and other components in the limited space inside the washing machine has become a research direction. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a clothing washing device to solve the technical problems existing in the related art.

[0004] This disclosure provides a laundry washing apparatus, including a housing and a first drum;

[0005] The first tube is disposed inside the box, and the front panel of the box is provided with a clothing loading and unloading opening corresponding to the opening of the first tube;

[0006] Wherein, the dimension of the first cylinder in the front-rear direction of the box body is the first dimension, the dimension of the box body in the front-rear direction is the second dimension, and the ratio of the first dimension to the second dimension is in the range of 1 / 10 to 2 / 3.

[0007] Optionally, the ratio of the first dimension to the second dimension is in the range of 1 / 3 to 3 / 5.

[0008] Optionally, the first size ranges from 200mm to 300mm.

[0009] Optionally, the first cylinder is provided with a first inner cylinder for holding clothes, and the depth of the first inner cylinder is 140mm-200mm.

[0010] Optionally, the volume of the first inner cylinder ranges from 1.5L to 4.5L.

[0011] Optionally, the diameter of the first cylinder is 150mm to 200mm.

[0012] Optionally, the first cylinder extends horizontally along the front-rear direction of the housing.

[0013] Optionally, the laundry equipment further includes a second drum, the opening of which is located on the front side of the housing.

Additionally, in the description with reference to the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings denote the same element.

[0029] In the description of this disclosure, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "connect," "link," and "install" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] As mentioned above, in related technologies, how to conveniently arrange the washing drum and other components in the limited space inside the washing machine has become a research direction.

[0031] In view of this, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this disclosure provides a clothing washing device 100, including a housing 10 and a first drum 20. The first drum 20 is disposed inside the housing 10. The front panel 11 of the housing 10 is provided with a clothing loading and unloading port 111 corresponding to the opening of the first drum 20. The first drum 20 has a first dimension L1 in the front-rear direction of the housing 10, and the housing 10 has a second dimension L2 in the front-rear direction. The ratio of the first dimension L1 to the second dimension L2 is in the range of 1 / 10 to 2 / 3.

[0032] It should be noted that, in this disclosure, the first dimension L1 can be the distance between the bottom of the first cylinder 20 and the opening of the first cylinder 20 in the front-back direction of the box body 10, or the distance between the bottom of the first cylinder 20 and the opening of the first cylinder 20 in the front-back direction of the box body 10, or the distance between the bottom of the first cylinder 20 and the clothing loading / unloading port 111 of the box body 10 in the front-back direction of the box body 10. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0033] The bottom of the first cylinder 20 can be the outer bottom surface of the outer cylinder of the first cylinder 20 (i.e., the outer bottom surface of the outer cylinder of the first cylinder 20 away from the front panel 11), and the bottom of the first cylinder 20 can also be the inner bottom surface of the inner cylinder of the first cylinder 20. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0034] In the aforementioned laundry washing equipment 100, the housing 10 can serve as the outer shell of the laundry washing equipment 100. The housing 10 can be used to house various components inside the laundry washing equipment 100, and can also provide support and fixation for some components inside the laundry washing equipment 100 (such as the washing drum).

[0035] In the aforementioned laundry washing equipment 100, the first drum 20 can be the drum body of the laundry washing equipment 100, and the first drum 20 can be installed inside the housing 10. The first drum 20 can be used to hold the clothes to be washed, and according to the configuration of the laundry washing equipment 100, the clothes to be washed held in the first drum 20 are washed, dried, and subjected to other operations.

[0036] When the above-mentioned laundry washing equipment 100 is used for washing clothes, the user can put the clothes to be washed into the first drum 20 through the clothes loading and unloading port 111 provided on the front panel 11 of the cabinet 10, or take the clothes to be washed out of the first drum 20, which makes it convenient to put and take out the clothes to be washed.

[0037] Through the above technical solution, since the ratio of the dimension of the first drum 20 in the front-rear direction to the dimension of the box 10 in the front-rear direction ranges from 1 / 10 to 2 / 3, in other words, there is a gap between the rear end of the first drum 20 and the rear end of the box 10 in the front-rear direction. Thus, by rationally designing the dimensions of the first drum 20 and the box 10, a space 30 for accommodating other components (such as the electronic control board, drying mechanism, etc.) within the laundry washing equipment 100 can be formed between the rear end of the first drum 20 and the box 10. This facilitates the arrangement of the washing drum and other components within the laundry washing equipment 100, resulting in a high degree of compactness. The solution also considers the rear space of the box 10, the drum depth, and the volume; for example, the depth and volume of the first drum 20, ensuring efficient space utilization while facilitating user operation and easy item retrieval.

[0038] Optionally, the ratio of the first dimension L1 to the second dimension L2 ranges from 1 / 3 to 2 / 3. Since the ratio of the first dimension L1 to the second dimension L2 is greater than or equal to 1 / 3, the first drum 20 can have a longer dimension along the front-to-back direction. The longer first drum 20 can have a larger volume, thereby enabling the first drum 20 to hold a certain volume of laundry, meeting the washing requirements of the first drum 20, and improving the washing ratio.

[0039] Furthermore, since the ratio of the first dimension L1 to the second dimension L2 is less than or equal to 2 / 3, the size of the first drum 20 will not be too long in the front-to-back direction. Thus, on the one hand, by rationally designing the dimensions of the first drum 20 and the housing 10 in the front-to-back direction, a larger accommodating space 30 can be provided between the first drum 20 and the housing 10, which facilitates the arrangement of other components within the laundry equipment 100. On the other hand, the first drum 20 will not be formed into a narrow and elongated tube, which makes it easier for the user to put the items to be washed into the first drum 20 or take the items to be washed out of the first drum 20.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this disclosure, the first drum 20 can have any suitable size in the front-rear direction of the housing 10, and this disclosure does not limit it. As one embodiment of this disclosure, the range of the first size L1 is 200mm-300mm. A first drum 20 with a first size L1 greater than 200mm can have a larger volume, thereby enabling the first drum 20 to hold a certain volume of clothes to be washed, meeting the washing requirements of the laundry equipment 100, and at the same time making it convenient for the user to take out the clothes.

[0041] Since the ratio of the first dimension L1 to the second dimension L2 ranges from 1 / 3 to 3 / 5, and the first dimension L1 ranges from 200mm to 300mm, it can be understood that the second dimension L2 of the aforementioned cabinet 10 can be 500 to 600mm in the front-to-back direction. In other words, the size of the cabinet 10 can be the same as that of a standard cabinet 10, which is beneficial for the layout of the laundry equipment 100 in the user's home. Within this ratio range and the first dimension L1, a balance is achieved between washing capacity, laundry retrieval, and the utilization of the space behind the first drum 20.

[0042] In addition, the first tube 20, with a first dimension L1 less than 300mm, is not formed into a long and narrow tube, which makes it easier for the user to put the items to be washed into the first tube 20 or to take the items to be washed out of the first tube 20.

[0043] To facilitate the placement of items to be washed, optionally, such as Figure 4As shown, the first drum 20 is provided with a first inner drum 21 for holding clothes, and the depth of the first inner drum 21 is 140mm-200mm. In this way, the first drum 20 can provide sufficient space 30 for the clothes to be washed, which is convenient for washing and / or drying.

[0044] This disclosure does not limit the volume of the first inner drum 21, as long as the first inner drum 21 can meet the washing needs of the laundry washing equipment 100. As one embodiment of this disclosure, the volume of the first inner drum 21 can be 1.5L-4.5L.

[0045] It should be noted that the volume of the first inner cylinder 21 mentioned above refers to the maximum capacity of the items to be washed that the first cylinder 20 can hold. For example, the volume may refer to the maximum capacity of liquid that the first cylinder 20 can hold when the cylinder door (i.e., the door seal mentioned above) is closed.

[0046] Since the volume of the first inner drum 21 is greater than or equal to 1.5L, the first drum 20 can hold a large amount of clothes, thus meeting the user's requirements for washing or drying a large amount of clothes at once.

[0047] In addition, since the volume of the first inner drum 21 is less than or equal to 4.5L, the volume of the first drum 20 will not be too large, effectively avoiding the situation where the volume of the first drum 20 is too large, making it inconvenient to arrange the first drum 20 and other components in the laundry washing equipment 100 within the laundry washing equipment 100.

[0048] Optionally, the volume of the first inner cylinder 21 is 3L.

[0049] It should be noted that this disclosure does not limit the specific range of the diameter of the first drum 20. As one embodiment of this disclosure, the diameter of the first drum 20 can be 150mm to 200mm. A first drum 20 with a diameter greater than or equal to 150mm can have a larger volume, thereby allowing the first drum 20 to hold more clothes and meet the user's requirements for washing or drying large quantities at once.

[0050] In addition, the first drum 20 with a diameter of less than or equal to 200 mm will not make the volume of the first drum 20 too large. The smaller volume of the first drum 20 facilitates the arrangement of the first drum 20 and other components in the washing equipment 100 within the housing 10.

[0051] In this disclosure, the first drum 20 can be arranged in any direction within the housing 10, as long as it can meet the washing requirements of the items to be washed. For example, the first drum 20 can be arranged horizontally within the housing 10, or it can be arranged at an angle within the housing 10. This disclosure does not limit this arrangement. As one embodiment of this disclosure, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the first drum 20 extends horizontally along the front-back direction of the cabinet 10. In other words, the first drum 20 is arranged horizontally inside the cabinet 10. On the one hand, the horizontal arrangement of the first drum 20 allows the clothes to be washed to be evenly distributed within the first drum 20 under the action of gravity, thereby improving the washing effect of the clothes; on the other hand, the horizontal arrangement of the first drum 20 is structurally more stable, which is beneficial to improving the stability and safety performance of the laundry equipment 100.

[0052] To improve the practicality of the laundry equipment 100, optionally, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the above-mentioned laundry washing equipment 100 may also include a second drum 40, the opening of which is located on the front side of the housing 10.

[0053] It should be noted that, in this disclosure, the first drum 20 and the second drum 40 can be any one of a drying drum, a washing drum, and a washer-dryer drum.

[0054] For example, when the first drum 20 is a washing drum, the first drum 20 can have a washing function, enabling the first drum 20 to wash the items to be washed inside the first drum 20.

[0055] When the first drum 20 is a washer-dryer drum, the first drum 20 can have both washing and drying functions, enabling the first drum 20 to wash and dry the items to be washed inside the first drum 20.

[0056] Similarly, when the second drum 40 is a washing drum, the second drum 40 can have a washing function, enabling the second drum 40 to wash the items to be washed inside the second drum 40.

[0057] When the second drum 40 is a washer-dryer drum, the second drum 40 can have both washing and drying functions, enabling the second drum 40 to wash and dry the items to be washed inside the second drum 40.

[0058] By combining the functions of the first drum 20 and the second drum 40, the above-mentioned clothing washing equipment 100 can have the functions of separate washing (such as one drum for washing outerwear and the other drum for washing underwear and other intimate clothing), separate drying, or washing and drying in one unit.

[0059] This disclosure does not limit the structure of the housing 10. The housing 10 can be a one-piece molded housing 10 or a housing 10 assembled from multiple panels. As one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the housing 10 includes a front panel 11 and a rear panel 12 spaced apart along the front-to-back direction. The openings of the first drum 20 and the second drum 40 are both located on the front panel 11. In this way, the clothes to be washed can be put in and taken out through the front panel 11, and the clothes washing equipment 100 has a high aesthetic appeal.

[0060] In addition, the front panel 11 and the rear panel 12 can together form a space for installing the first cylinder 20 and the second cylinder 40, and the front panel 11 and the rear panel 12 can protect the components installed in the housing 10.

[0061] In this disclosure, the second drum 40 can be arranged in any direction within the cabinet 10, as long as the second drum 40 can meet the washing requirements of the items to be washed. For example, the second drum 40 can be arranged horizontally within the cabinet 10, or it can be arranged at an angle within the cabinet 10. This disclosure does not limit this arrangement. As one embodiment of this disclosure, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the second drum 40 extends horizontally along the front-rear direction of the housing 10. In other words, the second drum 40 is arranged horizontally inside the housing 10. On the one hand, the horizontal arrangement of the second drum 40 allows the clothes to be washed to be evenly distributed within the second drum 40 under the action of gravity, thereby improving the washing effect of the clothes; on the other hand, the horizontal arrangement of the second drum 40 is structurally more stable, which is beneficial to improving the stability and safety performance of the laundry equipment 100.

[0062] Here, it is understood that, for the embodiment of the laundry equipment 100 including the first drum 20 and the second drum 40, the first drum 20 and the second drum 40 may both be arranged at an angle within the housing 10, or the first drum 20 and the second drum 40 may both be arranged horizontally within the housing 10, and this disclosure does not limit them in this way.

[0063] It should be noted that this disclosure does not limit the specific arrangement of the first cylinder 20 and the second cylinder 40 within the housing 10. As one embodiment of this disclosure, for example... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first drum 20 is located above the second drum 40, and the first drum 20 and the second drum 40 are staggered in the width direction of the housing 10. In other words, the first drum 20 is positioned to the side and above the second drum 40. In this way, by reasonably setting the relative positions between the first drum 20 and the second drum 40, the center of gravity balance requirements of the laundry washing equipment 100 can be met, thereby improving the stability and safety of the laundry washing equipment 100 and reducing the vibration of the laundry washing equipment 100.

[0064] This disclosure does not limit the specific dimensions of the first cylinder 20 and the second cylinder 40. As one embodiment of this disclosure, the diameter of the second cylinder 40 can be larger than the diameter of the first cylinder 20. Since the diameter of the second cylinder 40 is larger than the diameter of the first cylinder 20, the capacity of the second cylinder 40 can be greater than the capacity of the first cylinder 20. Thus, by reducing the diameter of the first cylinder 20, more installation space can be provided for the second cylinder 40, enabling the second cylinder 40 to meet the requirements of large capacity.

[0065] For example, the second tub 40 can be the main washing tub, used for washing adult clothes or outerwear, while the first tub 20 can be the small washing tub, used for washing underwear or children's clothes.

[0066] In an embodiment where the diameter of the second drum 40 is larger than the diameter of the first drum 20, it is understood that the second drum 40 can be positioned to the side and below the first drum 20. By positioning the heavier second drum 40 to the side and below the lighter first drum 20, the overall center of gravity of the washing machine 100 can be lowered, which helps to improve the stability of the washing machine.

[0067] This disclosure does not limit the specific dimensions of the second drum 40. As one embodiment of this disclosure, the diameter of the second drum 40 can be 500mm to 545mm. This configuration allows the second drum 40 to meet the requirement of large capacity, thereby ensuring that it can hold a reasonable amount of laundry.

[0068] It should be noted that this disclosure does not limit the specific type of the laundry equipment 100. For example, as one embodiment of this disclosure, the laundry equipment 100 can be a washing machine, such as a drum washing machine. As other embodiments of this disclosure, the laundry equipment 100 can also be a dryer, a washer-dryer combo, etc.

[0069] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0070] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0071] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
