In addition, in the following description, when referring to the figures, unless otherwise explained, the same reference numerals in different figures denote the same or similar elements. The above definitions are for explanation and illustration only and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.

[0030] To achieve the above objectives, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a garment processing apparatus is provided, the garment processing apparatus including a first cylindrical body 100 and a second cylindrical body 200 located on the first cylindrical body 100, and the second cylindrical body 200 is located on one side of the first cylindrical body 100; the counterweight on the side of the first cylindrical body 100 away from the second cylindrical body 200 is greater than the counterweight on the side of the first cylindrical body 100 closer to the second cylindrical body 200.

[0031] The above-described technical solution, namely the clothing processing device disclosed herein, includes a first cylinder 100 and a second cylinder 200 located on one side of the first cylinder 100. The counterweight on the side of the first cylinder 100 away from the second cylinder 200 is greater than the counterweight on the side of the first cylinder 100 close to the second cylinder 200. Therefore, the counterweight on the side of the first cylinder 100 away from the second cylinder 200 can balance the second cylinder 200 on the other side, enabling various layouts of the second cylinder 200.

[0032] It should be noted that a central plane can be formed passing through the central axis of the first cylinder 100 and parallel to the vertical direction. The second cylinder 200 is located on one side of this central plane. The counterweight of the first cylinder 100 on the other side of the central plane is greater than the counterweight on the side of the central plane closer to the second cylinder 200, thereby balancing the second cylinder 200 and facilitating various layouts of the second cylinder 200. For example, the second cylinder 200 can be arranged in the upper, middle or lower part of one side of the central plane.

[0033] It is understandable that the central axis of the first cylinder 100 can be arranged horizontally or at an angle to the horizontal.

[0034] In some embodiments, the second cylinder 200 is connected to the first cylinder 100, wherein the second cylinder 200 may be detachably connected to the first cylinder 100 for convenient maintenance of each cylinder. Alternatively, the second cylinder 200 and the first cylinder 100 may be fixedly connected together in a non-detachable manner, that is, the outer cylinder of the second cylinder 200 and the outer cylinder of the first cylinder 100 may be fixedly connected together.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the central plane can be the middle position in the left-right direction of the garment processing device, that is, the box 600 of the garment processing device is arranged with the left and right sides reversed about the central plane. The counterweight on the left side of the central plane is greater than the counterweight on the right side of the central plane, and the second cylinder 200 is located above the right side of the central plane. Therefore, the heavier counterweight on the left side can balance the second cylinder 200 on the right side to achieve the overall balance of the garment processing device.

[0036] The second cylinder 200 can be located at any suitable position on one side of the first cylinder 100, such as... Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the second cylinder 200 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the first cylinder 100, that is, the second cylinder 200 is fixedly connected to the upper left of the first cylinder 100. This can make full use of the space at this position, so as not to increase the volume of the box 600, or to reduce the increase in the volume of the box 600.

[0037] It is understood that the size of the second drum 200 is smaller than that of the first drum 100, wherein the first drum 100 can be used for washing and / or drying larger clothes, and the second drum 200 can be used for washing and / or drying smaller clothes.

[0038] The second cylinder body 200 and the first cylinder body 100 can be connected and fixed in any suitable manner, for example, by bolts or screws. Of course, in some embodiments, the outer cylinder of the second cylinder body 200 and the outer cylinder of the first cylinder body 100 are integrally formed, for example, by integral casting or integral injection molding, reducing the use of connecting parts, saving installation procedures, improving efficiency, and also reducing manufacturing costs.

[0039] The counterweight of the first cylinder body 100 can be connected to the outer side wall of the first cylinder body 100 in any suitable counterweight or counterweight assembly to improve the stability of the first cylinder body 100 and the second cylinder body 200 during operation. In some embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus includes a first counterweight assembly and a second counterweight assembly for the first cylinder body 100; the first counterweight assembly is connected to one side of the center plane P of the first cylinder body 100 close to the second cylinder body 200, the second counterweight assembly is connected to the other side of the center plane P of the first cylinder body 100 away from the second cylinder body 200, and the weight of the first counterweight assembly is less than that of the second counterweight assembly; wherein the center plane P of the first cylinder body 100 is a plane passing through the center axis of the first cylinder body 100 and parallel to the vertical direction. Through the above arrangement, by connecting the first counterweight assembly on one side (the second cylinder body 200 side) of the first cylinder body 100 and the second counterweight assembly on the other side (away from the second cylinder body 200 side), and the mass of the second counterweight assembly is greater than that of the first counterweight assembly, the two counterweight assemblies respectively located on the opposite sides of the first cylinder body 100 can balance the second cylinder body 200, ensuring stable operation of the laundry treating apparatus.

[0040] In other embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus can also include a third counterweight assembly for the first cylinder body 100; the third counterweight assembly extends from one side of the center plane of the first cylinder body 100 to the other side; and the weight of the third counterweight assembly away from the second cylinder body 200 is greater than that close to the second cylinder body 200; wherein the center plane P of the first cylinder body 100 is a plane passing through the center axis of the first cylinder body 100 and parallel to the vertical direction. Wherein the third counterweight assembly can be an integral part, which can extend from one side of the center plane P of the first cylinder body 100 to the other side across the center plane, while configuring the weight of the third counterweight assembly away from the second cylinder body 200 to be greater than that close to the second cylinder body 200 from the center plane, which also achieves the purpose of balancing the first cylinder body 100 and the second cylinder body 200. In other words, the center of gravity of the third counterweight assembly is located on the side of the center plane away from the second cylinder body 200. It can be understood that the third counterweight assembly can also be a structure composed of multiple counterweight parts.

[0041] The first counterweight assembly and the second counterweight assembly can adopt any suitable structural form, such as Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the first counterweight assembly includes the first counterweight 310 connected to the first cylinder 100 on the side close to the second cylinder 200, and the second counterweight assembly includes the second counterweight 410 connected to the first cylinder 100 on the side away from the second cylinder 200. The first counterweight 310 is connected to the right side of the first cylinder 100, and the second counterweight 410 can be connected to the left side of the first cylinder 100. By configuring the second counterweight 410 to have a greater mass than the first counterweight 310, the excess mass is used to balance the second cylinder 200. It should be noted that the first counterweight 310 and the second counterweight 410 can be fixedly connected to the outer cylinder of the first cylinder 100 in any suitable structure. In some embodiments, the inner surfaces of the first counterweight 310 and the second counterweight 410 can be configured as arc-shaped structures to adapt to the arc shape of the outer cylinder of the first cylinder 100, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the two.

[0042] In other embodiments, the first counterweight assembly includes the first counterweight 310 connected to the first cylinder 100 on the side close to the second cylinder 200, and the second counterweight assembly includes the second counterweight 410 connected to the first cylinder 100 on the side away from the second cylinder 200. The first counterweight 310 and the second counterweight 410 can be arranged on opposite sides of the central plane, and the masses of the two can be the same, facilitating the universality of the first counterweight 310 and the second counterweight 410 to reduce manufacturing costs. It should be noted that the second counterweight assembly further includes a third counterweight 420 located on the side of the central plane of the first cylinder 100 away from the second cylinder 200. The first counterweight 310 can be connected to the right side of the first cylinder 100 and to the outer cylinder of the first cylinder 100, and the third counterweight 420 and the second counterweight 410 are both connected to the left side of the first cylinder 100 and to the outer cylinder of the first cylinder 100. By adding the third counterweight 420, the mass of the left side of the first cylinder 100 is greater than that of the right side, which is used to balance the second cylinder 200 arranged on the upper right side.

[0043] The third counterweight 420 can be connected to any suitable position on the side of the first cylinder 100 away from the second cylinder 200, for example, it can be adaptively designed according to the spatial positions of various components inside the clothes treatment apparatus. Alternatively, the third counterweight 420 is located above or below the side of the first cylinder 100. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the third counterweight 420 can be connected to a position above the left side of the first cylinder 100, corresponding to the second cylinder 200 in the left-right direction. It should be noted that the number of third counterweights 420 can be multiple, and the multiple third counterweights 420 can be fixedly connected to the outer cylinder of the first cylinder 100 in any suitable manner.

[0044] It can be understood that the first counterweight 310 and the second counterweight 410 can be multiple and fixedly connected to the outer cylinder of the first cylinder 100, improving the flexibility of the counterweight connection.

[0045] The third counterweight 420 can be connected to the first cylinder 100 in any suitable manner. In some embodiments, the third counterweight 420 is detachably connected to the outer cylinder of the first cylinder 100. For example, the third counterweight 420 can be detachably connected to the outer cylinder of the first cylinder 100 by a bolt assembly 421 or a screw. Through such a detachable connection, different second cylinders 200 can be applied, and the third counterweight 420 with different masses can be conveniently configured, improving the design flexibility, facilitating the versatility between different models of laundry treatment equipment, and reducing the manufacturing cost of different models of laundry treatment equipment.

[0046] Optionally, the first cylinder 100 and / or the second cylinder 200 are connected to the cabinet 600 of the laundry treatment equipment by a tension spring 500. In some embodiments, the first cylinder 100 can be connected to the inside of the cabinet 600 of the laundry treatment equipment by a plurality of tension springs 500 for buffering the vibration generated during the operation of the laundry treatment equipment. Similarly, the second cylinder 200 can be connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 600 by a tension spring 500, further buffering the vibration caused by the operation of the first cylinder 100 and the second cylinder 200.

[0047] In order to absorb or reduce the vibration caused by the operation of the first cylinder 100 and the second cylinder 200, in some embodiments, the laundry treatment equipment further comprises a damping member 700, one end of the damping member 700 being connected to the bottom of the first cylinder 100, and the other end being connected to the bottom of the cabinet 600. The damping member 700 can support the first cylinder 100 at the bottom, and at the same time, can absorb the vibration of the first cylinder 100 and the second cylinder 200, so as to ensure the stability of the operation of the two cylinders and reduce the noise generated during the operation.
