[0068] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the application belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present application are only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0069] Nowadays, users usually use a washing machine, a washing and drying machine, or a washing machine and a drying machine. However, when users need to classify and wash clothes, especially for the washing and protecting of a small amount of clothes of many people, multiple washing machines need to be equipped, which is relatively high in cost, and it is difficult and cumbersome to operate multiple washing machines, which cannot better meet the washing and protecting needs of users.

[0070] To cope with the situation of needing to classify and wash clothes, some clothes processing devices are equipped with multiple rollers for processing clothes. However, the multi-roller clothes processing device in the related art is not stable when running, which affects the user experience.

[0071] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application propose a clothes processing device 100. Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 The clothes processing device 100 includes a cabinet 10, a drying system 40, a driving system 50, a first roller 20, and a second roller 30, and the drying system 40, the driving system 50, the first roller 20, and the second roller 30 are all installed in the cabinet 10.

[0072] The cabinet 10 constitutes a housing part of the laundry treatment apparatus 100, and can provide a mounting base for the driving system 50, the drying system 40, the first drum 20, the second drum 30, and the like, and also serves to protect the same, and a surface of the cabinet 10 constitutes a main appearance surface of the laundry treatment apparatus 100.

[0073] The first drum 20 and the second drum 30 are structures for providing a laundry treatment function in the laundry treatment apparatus 100, and the first drum 20 defines a first laundry treatment cavity 21 and a first drop port communicating with the first laundry treatment cavity 21, and the second drum 30 defines a second laundry treatment cavity 31 and a second drop port communicating with the second laundry treatment cavity 31. Laundry can be dropped into or taken out of the first laundry treatment cavity 21 and the second laundry treatment cavity 31 through the first drop port and the second drop port, respectively.

[0074] The driving system 50 is adapted to drive the first drum 20 and the second drum 30 to rotate with respect to the base 11, so as to treat laundry in the first laundry treatment cavity 21 and the second laundry treatment cavity 31. Optionally, the driving system 50 adopts a direct driving or a transmission driving mode. For example, in the direct driving mode, driving motors are directly mounted at the bottom of the first drum 20 and the second drum 30, and the first drum 20 and the second drum 30 are directly connected to the output end of the driving connection, so as to reduce intermediate transmission links, improve transmission efficiency, and reduce noise and vibration; in the transmission driving mode, power of the driving motor is transmitted to the first drum 20 and the second drum 30 through a transmission structure such as a belt, a gear, and a chain, so as to have lower cost and maintenance cost, and to realize various driving modes.

[0075] The drying system 40 can adopt a heat pump circulation system, and can heat air flow through refrigerant circulation. Optionally, the drying system 40 includes a compressor 41, a condenser 44, and an evaporator 43, and the compressor 41, the condenser 44, and the evaporator 43 are arranged in the cabinet 10 and are communicated through a refrigerant pipeline. Specifically, the compressor 41 sucks in low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and the low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is discharged at high pressure after being compressed by the compressor 41, and the high-pressure refrigerant enters the condenser 44 and is cooled by air at normal temperature, and is condensed into high-pressure liquid (and simultaneously transmits heat to the surrounding air); the high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through an expansion valve to be throttled and decompressed, and becomes a low-pressure low-temperature gas-liquid mixture, and then enters the evaporator 43, and the liquid refrigerant in the evaporator 43 is evaporated to generate refrigeration (and simultaneously absorbs heat from the surrounding air), and the generated low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is again sucked into the compressor 41 to be pressurized, so as to be continuously circulated to exchange heat and heat the air flow.

[0076] When the clothes are subjected to the drying operation: the high-temperature drying air heated by the condenser 44 flows through the surface of the wet clothes, exchanges heat and moisture with the wet clothes, absorbs the moisture in the clothes, becomes high-temperature and high-humidity gas, and is cooled by the evaporator 43 to become low-temperature and low-humidity gas and flows to the condenser 44. Such a cycle is repeatedly performed to achieve continuous and efficient drying of the clothes.

[0077] Of course, in some other embodiments, the drying system 40 can also directly adopt a combination of a heating element and a fan, the heating element heats the air flow to dry the clothes, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. For ease of understanding, the following will still be explained and described with the implementation of the drying system 40 adopting the heat pump circulation system.

[0078] The drying system 40 of the embodiments of the present application is at least used to supply the first drum 20 with hot air flow, and in some embodiments, for ease of explanation and description, it is defined as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the upper and lower direction, the left and right direction, and the front and back direction are perpendicular to each other, the drying system 40 and the at least one second drum 30 are arranged below the first drum 20, and the second drum 30 is arranged on one side of the drying system 40. For example, the second drum 30 can be arranged on the left side or the right side of the drying system 40, and of course, when the number of second drums 30 is more than one, for example, when the clothes processing apparatus 100 is provided with two second drums 30, the two second drums 30 can be arranged on the left side or the right side of the drying system 40 together, or can be arranged on the left side and the right side of the drying system 40 respectively.

[0079] For the situation that needs to be classified for clothes processing, the user can classify and process the clothes according to the actual situation, and put the clothes into the first drum 20 and the second drum 30 respectively for processing. For example, according to the size of the volume of the clothes, the clothes with larger volume are put into the first drum 20 for processing, and the clothes with smaller volume are put into the second drum 30 for processing, so as to facilitate targeted washing and protection processing while avoiding clothes entanglement; or, according to the clothes processing method, the clothes that need to be dried are put into the first drum 20 for processing, and the clothes that need to be washed are put into the second drum 30 for processing, so that drying and washing are performed simultaneously, improving the working efficiency of the clothes processing apparatus. In addition, the commonly used clothes can be put into the first drum 20 for processing, and the intimate clothes (underwear, underpants, etc.) can be put into the second drum 30 for processing, so that the intimate clothes are processed separately from other clothes, improving the hygiene level of clothes processing. It can be understood that for the embodiments in which the number of second drums 30 is more than one, the intimate clothes of different users can also be put into different second drums 30 for processing, avoiding cross infection and protecting the health of the users. In this way, the clothes processing apparatus 100 of the embodiments of the present application can realize the classification of clothes for washing and protection processing by the user, meeting the diversified washing and protection needs of the user.

[0080] Moreover, in the embodiments of the present application, the drying system 40 is arranged below the first drum 20, and the second drum 30 is arranged at the left and / or right side of the drying system 40, i.e. the second drum 30 is also arranged below the first drum 20. The center of gravity of the drying system 40 and the center of gravity of the second drum 30 are relatively low, which can reduce the vibration of the second drum 30 and the drying system 40 during operation. The low center of gravity facilitates the support arrangement of the drying system 40 and the second drum 30, reduces the vibration influence of the drying system 40 and the second drum 30 on the overall clothes treatment apparatus 100, thereby improving the stability of the clothes treatment apparatus 100 and improving the user experience. Since the vibration of the drying system 40 and the second drum 30 is reduced, the vibration reduction design of the drying system 40 and the second drum 30 can be reduced, thereby reducing the design cost and material cost. In addition, the second drum 30 is arranged at the side of the drying system 40, which makes the structure arrangement at the bottom of the clothes treatment apparatus 100 more compact, reasonably utilizes the internal space of the clothes treatment apparatus 100, reduces the space occupation of the drying system 40 and the second drum 30 in the up-down direction of the clothes treatment apparatus 100, and is beneficial to reducing the overall volume of the clothes treatment apparatus 100.

[0081] In some embodiments, the bottom of the cabinet 10 is formed with a base 11 for supporting on the ground or mounting surface, and the first drum 20, the drying system 40 and the at least one second drum 30 are connected to the base 11. The clothes treatment apparatus 100 further comprises a damping structure connected to the base 11, and the at least one second drum 30 is connected to the damping structure to buffer during operation of the second drum 30, thereby improving the operation stability of the second drum 30 and the overall stability of the clothes treatment apparatus 100. Optionally, the damping structure comprises damping pads, damping springs, etc. For example, in the embodiment in which the damping structure comprises a damping spring, one end of the damping spring is connected to the base 11, and the other end is connected to the second drum 30, so as to buffer when the second drum 30 vibrates.

[0082] In fact, the embodiments of the present application do not limit the second drum 30 to be mounted on the base 11. The second drum 30 can also be mounted on other parts of the cabinet 10 other than the base 11, or can be directly arranged on the ground or mounting surface and located in the cabinet 10.

[0083] As Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the diameter of the second drum 30 is smaller than the diameter of the first drum 20. This makes it more convenient for the user to classify the clothes, for example, to put large clothes into the first drum 20 for processing and small clothes into the second drum 30 for processing, especially when the small clothes are intimate clothes, which is conducive to ensuring hygiene and reducing bacterial infection. Understandably, the second drum 30 can meet the user's demand for classifying and processing clothes while consuming less energy due to the smaller barrel, thereby reducing the use cost.

[0084] In an embodiment, the central axis of the first drum 20 is parallel to the central axis of at least one second drum 30. When the number of second drums 30 is multiple, the central axis of one or several second drums 30 can be parallel to the central axis of the first drum 20, or the central axis of all second drums 30 can be parallel to the central axis of the first drum 20, so that the clothes processing apparatus 100 looks more neat and beautiful. Under the premise that the central axes of the first drum 20 and the second drum 30 are parallel, the orientations of the first and second drop openings can be set to face one side of the clothes processing apparatus 100, such as the front side, so that the user only needs to drop clothes from one side of the clothes processing apparatus 100, avoiding occupying more space.

[0085] Further, the central axes of the first drum 20 and the at least one second drum 30 are horizontally arranged, which is convenient for the user to take and place clothes and also makes the processing of the first drum 20 and the second drum 30 more comprehensive and thorough.

[0086] In combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 In an embodiment, the projection of the at least one second drum 30 in the up-down direction is located within the projection of the first drum 20, that is, the arrangement of the second drum 30 does not excessively increase the width of the clothes processing apparatus 100, which is conducive to maintaining the size and volume of the clothes processing apparatus 100, thereby improving the compatibility of the clothes processing apparatus 100, enabling it to be applied to more diverse installation environments and improving the compatibility.

[0087] Further, the center of the at least one second drum 30 is located on the same line as the center of the first drum 20 in the up-down direction. For example, when the number of second drums 30 is one, the center of the first drum 20 and the center of the second drum 30 are vertically aligned, so that the clothes processing apparatus 100 has a symmetrical beauty, improving the aesthetics and coordination; when the number of second drums 30 is two, the two second drums 30 can be arranged on the same side of the drying system 40, and the center of one of the two second drums 30 is located on the same line as the center of the first drum 20 in the up-down direction; of course, the two second drums 30 can also be arranged vertically, and the centers of the two drums are located on the same line as the center of the first drum 20 in the up-down direction.

[0088] Please again in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the drying system 40 comprises a drying duct assembly 42 and a fan. The drying duct assembly 42 comprises a drying duct communicating with the space inside the first drum 20 to supply a hot air flow to the first drum 20, at least part of the structure of the condenser 44 and at least part of the structure of the evaporator 43 are arranged as heat exchange assemblies in the drying duct and are spaced along the flow direction (front-rear direction) of the air flow. The fan is also arranged in the drying duct to drive the air flow to circulate in the drying duct. The drying duct assembly 42 comprises a drying duct shell that defines the drying duct and first and second air ports that communicate with the drying duct and the first laundry treatment cavity 21, so that under the action of the fan, the air flow circulates between the drying duct and the first laundry treatment cavity 21. Among them, the first air port and the second air port can be arranged on the side or bottom of the first drum 20. Of course, the drying duct can also be defined by the drying duct shell and the base 11 together, so that the structure of the drying duct shell itself is simpler, facilitating production and assembly of the drying duct shell, and the present application does not limit this. The drying duct shell is made of metal or other materials resistant to high temperature, so as to have sufficient strength and good resistance to high temperature air flow, thereby improving the service life of the drying duct shell.

[0089] In an embodiment, the second drum 30 is arranged on the left side or the right side of the drying duct assembly 42. When the number of second drums 30 is multiple, the multiple second drums 30 can be arranged on the left side or the right side of the drying duct assembly 42, or the multiple second drums 30 can be arranged on the left and right sides of the drying duct assembly 42 respectively. In the present embodiment, the drying duct assembly 42 extends substantially in the front-rear direction, so that the air flow flows smoothly in the front-rear direction, and sufficient space is provided in the drying duct for arranging the heat exchange assemblies and for the air flow to exchange heat with the heat exchange assemblies. In this way, the present embodiment makes the air flow in the drying duct assembly 42 smooth, facilitates drying of the laundry, and reasonably utilizes the space on the side of the drying duct assembly 42. The second drum 30 is arranged on the left side or the right side of the drying duct assembly 42, so that the internal space structure of the laundry treatment apparatus 100 is more compact.

[0090] Specifically, in the embodiment in which the laundry treatment apparatus 100 is provided with two second drums 30, the drying duct extends in the front-rear direction to ensure that the air flow flows smoothly in the drying duct, and the drying duct is located between the two second drums 30 in the left-right direction, so that this arrangement can make the weight of the laundry treatment apparatus 100 more evenly distributed and the overall structure more stable. The front end and the rear end of the drying duct communicate with the first drum 20, and in order to form an air flow circulation between the drying duct and the first drum 20, the drying system further comprises a fan arranged at the front end or the rear end of the drying duct. In this way, the length of the drying duct is longer, which further provides sufficient space for the heat exchange assemblies.

[0091] Further, the first drum 20 is located at least partially above the drying channel, for example, the central axis of the first drum 20 and the central axis of the drying channel are located on the same vertical plane, or the central axis of the first drum 20 and the central axis of the drying channel are slightly offset. Further, the drying channel is located at the middle portion of the base 11 of the clothes treatment apparatus 100, for example, the central axis of the drying channel and the middle line of the base 11 in the front-rear direction are located on the same vertical plane or slightly offset, so that the first drum 20 and the drying channel are centrally arranged, facilitating the structural arrangement of the components in the cabinet 10 while improving the stability of the clothes treatment apparatus 100.

[0092] In combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the drying channel can also not be arranged at the middle portion of the base 11, but arranged side by side with the second drum 30. For example, the drying channel can be arranged at the left portion of the base 11, and the second drum 30 is arranged at the right portion of the base 11, or the drying channel can be arranged at the right portion of the base 11, and the second drum 30 is arranged at the left portion of the base 11, which is not limited herein. Among them, the number of second drums 30 can be more than one, for example, as shown in Figure 4 In the case of multiple second drums 30, the multiple second drums 30 are centrally arranged at the left side or the right side of the drying channel, which facilitates the functional partitioning of the interior of the clothes treatment apparatus 100, has a simple structure and facilitates wiring, and the centrally arranged second drums 30 are also convenient for users to put in.

[0093] Among them, at least part of the structure of the condenser 44 and at least part of the structure of the evaporator 43 are arranged as heat exchange components in the drying channel, and the second drum 30 is arranged at the left side or the right side of the heat exchange components. When the number of second drums 30 is multiple, the multiple second drums 30 can be arranged at the left side or the right side of the heat exchange components, or the multiple second drums 30 can be arranged at the left and right sides of the heat exchange components respectively.

[0094] Further, the projection of the evaporator 43 in the left-right direction is located within the projection of at least one second drum 30, which is beneficial to uniform weight distribution; the projection of the condenser 44 in the left-right direction is spaced apart from the projection of at least one second drum 30.
