[0027] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.
[0028] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "up," "down," "left," and "right" are used based on Figure 1 Defined, please refer to the details. Figure 1 In the drawing orientation, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself. The terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another and do not have sequential or importance implications. Furthermore, in the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings indicate the same or similar elements, which will not be elaborated upon in this disclosure.
[0029] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, a garment processing apparatus is provided, with reference to... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the garment processing equipment includes a housing 1 and a plurality of cylinders 2 disposed in the housing 1, at least one cylinder 2 being provided with a balancing structure 3.
[0030] Through the above technical solution, in the clothing processing equipment provided in this disclosure, the drum 2 will vibrate due to rotation when washing clothes. When the drum 2 is subjected to uneven load, that is, uneven centrifugal force, the drum 2 may vibrate more violently. However, when the drum 2 is equipped with a balancing structure 3, the balancing structure 3 can evenly distribute the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the drum 2, so that the drum 2 tends to be balanced during the rotation. Thus, the balancing structure 3 can reduce the vibration caused by the unbalanced rotation of the drum 2, and the vibration transmitted to other drums 2 will also be reduced. Therefore, the setting of the balancing structure 3 can reduce the vibration of the drum 2 and improve the reliability of the clothing processing equipment.
[0031] It should be noted that when the clothes in the drum 2 are of different weights, the drum 2 will produce eccentric rotation, i.e. unbalanced rotation, which is caused by the uneven centrifugal force. The balancing structure 3 of the present disclosure can evenly distribute the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the drum 2, so that the drum 2 tends to be balanced during rotation, and the drum 2 rotates in balance, thereby reducing the vibration of the drum 2.
[0032] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 1 to 4 At least one drum 2 includes an inner drum 21 and an outer drum 22, and the balancing structure 3 is arranged on at least one inner drum 21, and the balancing structure 3 includes a containing cavity 31 in which a flowable balancing medium 32 is arranged. Here, when the inner drum 21 rotates, due to the flowable nature of the balancing medium 32, when the inner drum 21 has a tendency to produce eccentric rotation, based on the unbalanced distribution of the clothes in the inner drum 21, the balancing medium 32 will flow in the containing cavity 31 to the side opposite to the eccentric force to offset the eccentric force, thereby evenly distributing the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the drum 2 and reducing the vibration of the drum 2. Here, the balancing medium 32 has the flowable nature, and in some embodiments, the balancing medium 32 can be configured as a liquid medium, and in other embodiments, the balancing medium 32 can also be configured as a rolling body.
[0033] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 3 The balancing structure 3 includes a balancing member 33, the balancing member 33 encloses the containing cavity 31, and a spacing space 10 is enclosed between the inner drum 21 and the outer drum 22, and the balancing member 33 can be provided with a communication port 34, and the communication port 34 communicates the containing cavity 31 and the spacing space 10, that is, the balancing member 33 of the present disclosure has the communication port 34, when the inner drum 21 is in the spin-drying mode, the water spun out by the clothes can flow into the spacing space 10, when the inner drum 21 has a tendency to produce eccentric rotation, the water flowing into the spacing space 10 can enter the containing cavity 31 through the communication port 34 and flow in the containing cavity 31 to offset the eccentric force, thereby such a configuration can use the water spun out by the clothes as the balancing medium 32, and there is no need to pre-set the balancing medium 32 in the containing cavity 31.
[0034] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3As shown in FIG. 1, the at least one cylinder body 2 can include a cylinder opening 20, and the balancing member 33 has a first side and a second side arranged oppositely in the axial direction of the cylinder body 2, the first side is farther away from the cylinder opening 20 than the second side, and the communication opening 34 is arranged on the first side. Here, because the inner cylinder 21 tends to eccentric rotation at the cylinder opening 20 when rotating, arranging the communication opening 34 on the first side can make the water thrown by the laundry flow more easily towards the second side, i.e. more easily towards the cylinder opening 20, when entering the containing cavity 31, and thus such arrangement is conducive to balancing the centrifugal force at the cylinder opening 20 and reducing the vibration at the cylinder opening 20.
[0035] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1, the cylinder body 2 includes a cylinder opening 20, and the containing space of the containing cavity 31 gradually increases in the axial direction close to the cylinder opening 20, and such arrangement is conducive to more balancing medium 32 flowing to the cylinder opening 20, and thus is conducive to improving the balancing effect of the balancing structure 3.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1, the balancing structure 3 can include a balancing member 33, the balancing member 33 can surround a closed containing cavity 31, and the containing cavity 31 contains the balancing medium 32. The advantage of such arrangement is that, because the containing cavity 31 is closed, on the one hand, the balancing medium 32 is basically not lost, and on the other hand, the balancing medium 32 cannot flow out of the containing cavity 31, and thus the balancing medium 32 can balance and offset the above-mentioned eccentric force when the inner cylinder 21 is in the spin-drying mode, and can also balance and offset the above-mentioned eccentric force when the inner cylinder 21 is in the non-spin-drying mode, and thus the adaptability of the balancing structure 3 is improved.
[0037] In some embodiments, the balancing medium 32 can be configured to have a freezing point lower than that of water. That is, the freezing point of the balancing medium 32 can be less than 0℃, and thus the balancing structure 3 of the present disclosure is also suitable for use in cold environments.
[0038] In some embodiments, the balancing member 33 can be configured as a balancing ring, and the balancing ring is sleeved on the inner cylinder 21. In this way, the annular balancing structure 3 is more conducive to balancing the rotation of the inner cylinder 21.
[0039] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the balancing structure 3 includes a plurality of balancing members 33, each balancing member 33 surrounds a containing cavity 31, and the plurality of balancing members 33 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the inner cylinder 21. In this way, the circumferential distribution of the plurality of balancing members 33 can be achieved, and the balancing structure 3 is conducive to balancing the eccentric force in the circumferential direction. Here, the balancing member 33 can include the above-mentioned communication opening 34, or can include the above-mentioned closed containing cavity 31, and the present disclosure does not limit this.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring toFigure 3 As shown in FIG. 1, the drum body 2 comprises a drum opening 20, and the balance structure 3 can be arranged close to the drum opening 20. Here, as the rotation of the drum opening 20 is more likely to be unbalanced, arranging the balance structure 3 close to the drum opening 20 can make the rotation of the drum opening 20 tend to be balanced.
[0041] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of drum bodies 2 comprises at least two first drum bodies 100, wherein the two first drum bodies 100 are connected to each other, and at least one of the two first drum bodies 100 is provided with the balance structure 3. In this way, the balance structure 3 can make the rotation of the first drum body 100 tend to be balanced, thereby reducing the vibration transmitted from the first drum body 100 to another drum body 2 connected thereto, and the other first drum body 100 can also support the first drum body 100 provided with the balance structure 3, thereby facilitating to improve the reliability of the clothes treatment apparatus. Here, the two first drum bodies 100 can be connected by a connecting rod, can be connected by an elastic buffer, or can be connected by a suspension beam, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

Thus, it is beneficial to improve the reliability of the clothes treatment apparatus. Here, the two first drum bodies 100 can be connected by a connecting rod, can be connected by an elastic buffer, or can be connected by a suspension beam, which is not limited in the present disclosure.
