Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing processing equipment technology, specifically to a tube assembly and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous progress of society and the economy, people have higher requirements for the washing quality and hygiene safety of clothing. Therefore, in recent years, washing or drying different types of clothing separately has become a trend. In related technologies, clothing processing equipment is equipped with multiple processing drums to process different types of clothing separately. However, the structural arrangement of these multiple processing drums is unreasonable, resulting in low space utilization within the machine casing and a large space occupation. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0004] Therefore, embodiments of this utility model propose a cylindrical assembly with a compact structure and small space occupation.

[0005] An embodiment of this utility model also proposes a garment processing device.

[0006] The cylindrical assembly of this utility model includes: a first processing cylinder; a second processing cylinder and a third processing cylinder, both of which are disposed above the first processing cylinder and spaced apart in a left-right direction. The highest point of the first processing cylinder is higher than the critical points of the second and third processing cylinders. The critical point of the second processing cylinder includes the lowest point of the second processing cylinder or the point of the second processing cylinder closest to the first processing cylinder. The critical point of the third processing cylinder includes the lowest point of the third processing cylinder or the point of the third processing cylinder closest to the first processing cylinder. A first cylinder cover, a second cylinder cover, and a third cylinder cover are also included. The first cylinder cover is located at the retrieval port of the first processing cylinder, the second cylinder cover is located at the retrieval port of the second processing cylinder, and the third cylinder cover is located at the retrieval port of the third processing cylinder. The highest point of the first cylinder cover is not higher than the lowest points of the second and third cylinder covers.

[0007] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the cylindrical assembly has a second and a third processing cylinder disposed above the first processing cylinder. Therefore, different garments or other items to be processed can be categorized and placed into the first, second, and third processing cylinders for processing. Since the highest point of the first processing cylinder is higher than the critical points of the second and third processing cylinders (the critical point of the second processing cylinder includes its lowest point, or the point closest to the first processing cylinder), and the critical point of the third processing cylinder includes its lowest point, or the point closest to the first processing cylinder, the second and third processing cylinders can fully utilize the space above or to the left or right of the first processing cylinder to reduce the overall height of the cylindrical assembly, resulting in a compact structure and smaller space occupation. Furthermore, the opening of any one of the first, second, or third cylinder caps will not interfere with the other two, thereby improving user convenience and flexibility.

[0008] In some embodiments, the lowest point of the second processing cylinder is lower than the highest point of the first processing cylinder, and the point of the second processing cylinder closest to the first processing cylinder is higher than the highest point of the first processing cylinder; similarly, the lowest point of the third processing cylinder is lower than the highest point of the first processing cylinder, and the point of the third processing cylinder closest to the first processing cylinder is higher than the highest point of the first processing cylinder. This avoids interference between the external structures of the first, second, and third processing cylinders, facilitates subsequent assembly of components around the first, second, and third processing cylinders by operators, and ensures a compact structure for the cylinder assembly, reducing space occupation.

[0009] In some embodiments, the second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder are located on the left and right sides of the first processing cylinder, respectively, and are arranged symmetrically from left to right. This results in a more regular and aesthetically pleasing structure for the cylinder assembly, and also ensures that the center of gravity of the cylinder assembly is roughly located in the middle of the entire machine, which helps improve the stability of the cylinder assembly during operation.

[0010] In some embodiments, the bottom of the first processing cylinder has a first drainage section, and the bottom of the second processing cylinder has a second drainage section. The lowest point of the first drainage section is the lowest point of the second processing cylinder, and the lowest point of the second drainage section is the lowest point of the third processing cylinder. Thus, the first and second drainage sections can fully utilize the space above the left and right of the first processing cylinder, resulting in a compact structural arrangement of the first, second, and third processing cylinders. This reduces the overall height of the cylinder assembly and avoids interference with the first processing cylinder and its surrounding components, leading to better performance.

[0011] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of either the first drainage section or the second drainage section is a horizontal straight surface, which facilitates the smooth drainage of water from the second and third outer cylinders, reducing the problem of water accumulation inside the second and third outer cylinders. The top surface of the first processing cylinder is an upwardly convex arc shape, so that the left and right sides of the top surface of the first outer cylinder can accommodate the first and second drainage sections, improving the compactness of the cylinder assembly.

[0012] In some embodiments, the cylinder assembly further includes a fixing frame connected between the second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder. Thus, the fixing frame can constrain the position of the second and third processing cylinders, which helps to reduce the swaying amplitude of the second and third processing cylinders during operation, thereby reducing the noise generated by the cylinder assembly during operation.

[0013] In some embodiments, the highest point of the fixing frame is lower than the highest points of the second and third processing cylinders. This allows the upper surface of the fixing frame, the outer wall surface of the second and third processing cylinders to form a component accommodating space. This space can be used to house components such as the drying module, dispensing module, electrical control module, and sterilization module, resulting in a more compact overall structure for the cylinder assembly. The lowest point of the fixing frame is higher than the lowest points of the second and third processing cylinders. This allows the bottom surface of the fixing frame, the outer wall surface of the second and third processing cylinders to form a clearance space, avoiding interference with the first processing cylinder during assembly.

[0014] In some embodiments, the cylinder assembly further includes a first counterweight, a second counterweight, and a third counterweight. The first counterweight is disposed between the second and third processing cylinders and adjacent to their front sides. The second counterweight is installed on the left side of the second processing cylinder and adjacent to its front side. The third counterweight is installed on the right side of the third processing cylinder and adjacent to its front side. This reduces the vibration amplitude of the second and third processing cylinders during operation, lowers the noise generated by the cylinder assembly during operation, and achieves better vibration and noise reduction.

[0015] In some embodiments, the highest point of the first counterweight is lower than the highest point of either the second or third processing cylinder. Therefore, the upper region of the first counterweight can be used to install other components of the garment processing equipment, thereby facilitating the arrangement of components within the housing and resulting in a more compact structure.

[0016] In some embodiments, the second counterweight extends vertically and has a third arc-shaped surface on the side facing the second processing cylinder, which is used to match the second processing cylinder or a door seal on the second processing cylinder. The third counterweight also extends vertically and has a fourth arc-shaped surface on the side facing the third processing cylinder, which is also used to match the third processing cylinder or a door seal on the third processing cylinder. Because the third arc-shaped surface matches the second processing cylinder or a door seal on the second processing cylinder, the fit between the second counterweight and the second processing cylinder or door seal can be improved. This reduces the vibration amplitude of the second processing cylinder, resulting in better vibration reduction and noise reduction. Furthermore, it reduces the lateral dimensions of the cylinder assembly.

[0017] In some embodiments, the capacity of either the second or third processing cylinder is smaller than that of the first processing cylinder, thereby lowering the center of gravity of the cylinder assembly and making the cylinder assembly more stable during operation. The inlets of the first, second, and third processing cylinders are all arranged facing forward, which facilitates daily use by the user.

[0018] Another embodiment of the garment processing device of the present invention includes a housing and a tubular assembly, wherein the tubular assembly is installed inside the housing, and the tubular assembly is the tubular assembly described in any one of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0019] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the garment processing device has a second and a third processing cylinder arranged on the upper side of the first processing cylinder in the cylinder assembly. Therefore, different garments or other items to be processed can be categorized and placed into the first, second, and third processing cylinders for processing. Since the highest point of the first processing cylinder is higher than the critical points of the second and third processing cylinders (the critical point of the second processing cylinder includes its lowest point, or the point closest to the first processing cylinder), and the critical point of the third processing cylinder includes its lowest point, or the point closest to the first processing cylinder), the second and third processing cylinders can fully utilize the space above or to the left and right of the first processing cylinder to reduce the overall height of the garment processing device, resulting in a compact structure and smaller space occupation for the cylinder assembly. Furthermore, the opening of any one of the first, second, or third cylinder covers will not interfere with the other two, thereby improving user convenience and flexibility.

[0036] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0037] The following is a reference appendix. Figures 1 to 7This invention describes a cylindrical assembly and a garment processing device according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the cylindrical assembly of this utility model embodiment includes: a first processing cylinder 1, a second processing cylinder 2, a third processing cylinder 3, a first cylinder cover 41, a second cylinder cover 42, and a third cylinder cover 43. The second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are both disposed above the first processing cylinder 1, and are spaced apart in the left-right direction. The highest point of the first processing cylinder 1 is higher than the critical points of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. The critical point of the second processing cylinder 2 includes its lowest point, or the point of the second processing cylinder 2 closest to the first processing cylinder 1. The critical point of the third processing cylinder 3 includes its lowest point, or the point of the third processing cylinder 3 closest to the first processing cylinder 1.

[0039] The first cover 41 is located at the retrieval port of the first processing cylinder 1, the second cover 42 is located at the retrieval port of the second processing cylinder 2, and the third cover 43 is located at the retrieval port of the third processing cylinder 3. The highest point of the first cover 41 is not higher than the lowest point of the second cover 42 and the lowest point of the third cover 43. Figure 1 As shown, the difference between the lowest point of the second cover 42 (the lowest point of the third cover 43) and the highest point of the first cover 41 is H2, where H2≥0.

[0040] According to the embodiment of the present invention, since the cylindrical assembly has a second processing cylinder 2 and a third processing cylinder 3 disposed on the upper side of the first processing cylinder 1, different garments or other items to be processed can be classified and placed into the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3 for processing. Because the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1 is higher than the critical points of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3, and the critical point of the second processing cylinder 2 includes its lowest point or the point closest to the first processing cylinder 1, and the critical point of the third processing cylinder 3 includes its lowest point or the point closest to the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 can fully utilize the space above the left or right of the first processing cylinder 1 to reduce the overall height of the cylindrical assembly, making the structure of the cylindrical assembly compact and occupying less space. Furthermore, when any one of the first cylinder cover 41, the second cylinder cover 42, and the third cylinder cover 43 is opened, it will not interfere with the other two, thereby improving the convenience and flexibility for the user.

[0041] For example, such as Figure 1As shown, the first cylinder cover 41 is located on the front side of the first processing cylinder 1 and is used to open and close the first processing cylinder 1; the second cylinder cover 42 is located on the front side of the second processing cylinder 2 and is used to open and close the second processing cylinder 2; and the third cylinder cover 43 is located on the front side of the third processing cylinder 3 and is used to open and close the third processing cylinder 3.

[0042] Correspondingly, the housing 7 of the garment processing equipment is provided with garment loading and unloading ports for installing the first cover 41, the second cover 42 and the third cover 43. When the highest point of the first cover 41 is lower than the lowest point of the second cover 42 and the lowest point of the third cover 43, the distance between the garment loading and unloading port corresponding to the first cover 41 and the garment loading and unloading port corresponding to the second cover 42 (the opening corresponding to the third cover 43) on the housing 7 will be too close. As a result, the sheet metal width of the housing 7 between the first cover 41 and the second cover 42 (the third cover 43) will be small, which will affect the overall structural strength of the housing 7.

[0043] Therefore, by arranging the first cylinder cover 41, the second cylinder cover 42, and the third cylinder cover 43 in the above manner, the cylindrical body assembly of this utility model can ensure that there is no interference between the opening and closing of adjacent cylinder covers, and can also ensure the structural strength of the housing 7.

[0044] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1, that is, the uppermost point on the top surface of the first processing cylinder 1, is as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7 Point P1 in the diagram. The lowest point of the second processing cylinder 2, that is, the lowest point of the second processing cylinder 2, as shown in the diagram. Figure 6 and Figure 7 Point P2 in the middle. The lowest point of the third processing cylinder 3, that is, the lowest point of the third processing cylinder 3, as shown in the figure. Figure 6 and Figure 7 Point P3 in the middle.

[0045] The point where the second processing cylinder 2 is closest to the first processing cylinder 1 is the point on the second processing cylinder 2 that is closest to the first processing cylinder 1. For example... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in a projection plane orthogonal to the front and back directions, draw a first line L1 connecting the rotation axis of the first processing cylinder 1 and the rotation axis of the second processing cylinder 2. The intersection of the first line L1 and the outer wall surface of the second processing cylinder 2 is the point M1 where the second processing cylinder 2 is closest to the first processing cylinder 1.

[0046] The point where the third processing cylinder 3 is closest to the first processing cylinder 1 is the point on the third processing cylinder 3 that is closest to the first processing cylinder 1. For example... Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in a projection plane orthogonal to the front and back directions, draw a second line L2 connecting the rotation axis of the first processing cylinder 1 and the rotation axis of the third processing cylinder 3. The intersection of the second line L2 and the outer wall of the third processing cylinder 3 is the point M2 where the third processing cylinder 3 is closest to the first processing cylinder 1.

[0047] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, the lowest point of the second processing cylinder 2 and the point on the second processing cylinder 2 closest to the first processing cylinder 1 are both located below the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1. Similarly, the lowest point of the third processing cylinder 3 and the point on the third processing cylinder 3 closest to the first processing cylinder 1 are both located below the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1. This allows for a further reduction in the height of the cylinder assembly, thus reducing space requirements.

[0048] Optionally, such as Figure 7 As shown, the lowest point of the second processing cylinder 2 is lower than the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1, and the point of the second processing cylinder 2 closest to the first processing cylinder 1 is higher than the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1. Similarly, the lowest point of the third processing cylinder 3 is lower than the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1, and the point of the third processing cylinder 3 closest to the first processing cylinder 1 is higher than the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1. This avoids interference between the external structures of the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3, facilitating subsequent assembly of surrounding components by operators, and ensuring a compact structure for the cylinder assembly, thus reducing space requirements.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the highest point of the second processing cylinder 2 is higher than the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1. The second processing cylinder 2 is located diagonally above the first processing cylinder 1, rather than directly above it.

[0050] For example, the second processing cylinder 2 is located to the upper left of the first processing cylinder 1. Or, for example, the second processing cylinder 2 is located to the upper right of the first processing cylinder 1, so that the second processing cylinder 2 can utilize the space to the upper left or upper right of the first processing cylinder 1.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the first processing cylinder 1 is generally cylindrical, and the housing 7 of the garment processing device is generally cubic. Therefore, the first processing cylinder 1 has a certain accommodating space on its upper left or upper right. In this embodiment of the invention, by making the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1 higher than the lowest point of the second processing cylinder 2, the bottom of the second processing cylinder 2 can extend into the accommodating space enclosed by the outer wall of the first processing cylinder 1 and the inner wall of the housing 7, thereby reducing the overall height of the cylinder assembly and thus reducing its space occupation in the height direction.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this example of the present invention, the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1 is located on the outer cylinder body of the first processing cylinder 1. The lowest point of the second processing cylinder 2 is the highest point of the bottom surface of the second processing cylinder 2, and the highest point of the second processing cylinder 2 is located on the outer cylinder body of the second processing cylinder 2.

[0053] For example, the first processing cylinder 1 has a first processing chamber 13, and the second processing cylinder 2 has a second processing chamber 23. The capacity of the second processing chamber 23 is smaller than the capacity of the first processing chamber 13, that is, the capacity of the second processing cylinder 2 is smaller than the capacity of the first processing cylinder 1, which helps to lower the center of gravity of the cylinder assembly, so that the cylinder assembly is more stable when it works.

[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the tube assembly also includes a third processing tube 3, which is positioned above the first processing tube 1. The third processing tube 3 and the second processing tube 2 are spaced apart in the left-right direction. Because the tube assembly also includes the third processing tube 3, users can process different garments through three different processing tubes, expanding the application range of the tube assembly and improving its processing effect.

[0055] In the example of this utility model, the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are located on the left and right sides of the first processing cylinder 1, respectively, that is, the second processing cylinder 2 is located on the upper left of the first processing cylinder 1, and the third processing cylinder 3 is located on the upper right of the first processing cylinder 1.

[0056] In other examples, the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are both located to the upper left of the first processing cylinder 1. Alternatively, the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are both located to the upper right of the first processing cylinder 1.

[0057] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1 is higher than the lowest point of the third processing cylinder 3. This allows the bottom of the third processing cylinder 3 to extend into the receiving space enclosed by the outer wall of the first processing cylinder 1 and the inner wall of the housing 7, thereby reducing the overall height of the cylinder assembly and thus reducing its space occupation in the height direction.

[0058] In one example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are located on the left and right sides of the first processing cylinder 1, respectively, and are arranged symmetrically from left to right. For example, the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are symmetrical about a vertical plane passing through the axis of the first processing cylinder 1, or, for another example, the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are symmetrical about a vertical plane passing through the center of the housing 7.

[0059] Therefore, the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are roughly at the same horizontal height, and the distances of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 from the axis of the first processing cylinder 1 in the left-right direction are roughly equal. On the one hand, this makes the structure of the cylinder assembly more regular; on the other hand, it allows the center of gravity of the cylinder assembly to be roughly located in the middle position of the cylinder assembly, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the cylinder assembly during operation.

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are the same size and shape. Therefore, during the assembly process of the cylinder assembly, the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 do not need to prepare their own materials, that is, the materials of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are interchangeable, thereby reducing production costs and facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0061] In other examples, the size and shape of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 may also be different, and this utility model does not limit this.

[0062] For example, the axes of the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3 are all parallel to each other, and the retrieval ports of the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3 are all arranged facing forward, which facilitates daily use by the user.

[0063] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the third processing cylinder 3 has a third processing chamber 33. The capacity of the third processing chamber 33 is smaller than that of the first processing chamber 13, that is, the capacity of the third processing cylinder 3 is smaller than that of the first processing cylinder 1. This helps to lower the center of gravity of the cylinder assembly, so that the cylinder assembly can work more stably.

[0064] Optionally, the capacity of either the second processing cylinder 2 or the third processing cylinder 3 is smaller than the capacity of the first processing cylinder 1, thereby helping to lower the center of gravity of the cylinder assembly and making the cylinder assembly more stable during operation. Optionally, as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the first processing cylinder 1 has a first drainage section 211, the bottom of the second processing cylinder 2 has a second drainage section 311, the lowest point of the first drainage section 211 is the lowest point of the second processing cylinder 2, and the lowest point of the second drainage section 311 is the lowest point of the third processing cylinder 3.

[0065] It is understood that at least a portion of the first drainage section 211 and at least a portion of the second drainage section 311 are located below the top surface of the first processing cylinder 1, such that the lowest point of the bottom surface of the first drainage section 211 and the lowest point of the bottom surface of the second drainage section 311 are both located below the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1. This allows for full utilization of the space above the left and right sides of the first processing cylinder 1, resulting in a compact structural arrangement of the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3. This reduces the overall height of the cylinder assembly and prevents interference with the first processing cylinder 1 and its surrounding components, leading to better performance.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, the difference between the lowest point of the second processing cylinder 2 (i.e., the bottom surface of the first drainage section 211) and the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1 is H1. The value of H1 can be determined by considering the height of the housing 7 of the garment processing equipment and the arrangement of the components around the cylinder assembly. For example, H1 can be arbitrarily selected between 5mm and 50mm.

[0067] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first processing cylinder 1 includes a first outer cylinder 11 and a first inner cylinder 12 disposed inside the first outer cylinder 11; the second processing cylinder 2 includes a second outer cylinder 21 and a second inner cylinder 22 disposed inside the second outer cylinder 21; the third processing cylinder 3 includes a third outer cylinder 31 and a third inner cylinder 32 disposed inside the third outer cylinder 31; the bottom of the second outer cylinder 21 has a first drainage section 211; and the bottom of the third outer cylinder 31 has a second drainage section 311.

[0068] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom surface of either the first drainage section 211 or the second drainage section 311 is a horizontal straight surface 2111, and the top surface of the first outer cylinder 11 is an upwardly convex arc shape. It can be understood that the left and right sides of the top surface (arc surface) of the first outer cylinder 11 are curved downwards so that the left and right sides of the top surface of the first outer cylinder 11 can accommodate the first drainage section 211 and the second drainage section 311. Since the bottom surface of either the first drainage section 211 or the second drainage section 311 is a horizontal straight surface 2111, it is convenient to drain the water from the second outer cylinder 21 (third outer cylinder 31), reducing the problem of water accumulation inside the second outer cylinder 21 (third outer cylinder 31) and improving the drainage effect of the second treatment cylinder 2 and the third treatment cylinder 3.

[0069] Optionally, such as Figures 3 to 5As shown, the cylinder assembly also includes a fixing frame 6, which is connected between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. The fixing frame 6, connected to the second and third processing cylinders 2 and 3, can improve the stability of the second and third processing cylinders 2 during operation. In other words, the fixing frame 6 can constrain the position of the second and third processing cylinders 2 and 3, which helps to reduce the shaking amplitude of the second and third processing cylinders 2 and 3 during operation, thereby reducing the noise generated by the cylinder assembly during operation.

[0070] For example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixing frame 6 can be a grid-like rib structure. The left side of the fixing frame 6 is connected to the outer wall of the second processing cylinder 2, and the right side of the fixing frame 6 is connected to the outer wall of the third processing cylinder 3. This can further improve the stability of the second processing cylinder 2 during operation.

[0071] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the highest point of the mounting bracket 6 is lower than the highest points of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. It can be understood that the top surface of the mounting bracket 6 is lower than the top surfaces of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. Thus, the upper surface of the mounting bracket 6, the outer wall surface of the second processing cylinder 2, and the outer wall surface of the third processing cylinder 3 together form a component receiving space 8. This component receiving space 8 can be used to place components such as the drying module, the feeding module, the electrical control module, and the sterilization module, thereby making the overall structure of the cylinder assembly more compact.

[0072] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lowest point of the mounting bracket 6 is higher than the lowest points of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. It can be understood that the bottom surface of the mounting bracket 6 is higher than the bottom surfaces of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. Thus, the bottom surface of the mounting bracket 6, the outer wall surface of the second processing cylinder 2, and the outer wall surface of the third processing cylinder 3 together form a clearance space to avoid interference with the first processing cylinder 1 during assembly.

[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cylinder assembly also includes a first counterweight 51, a second counterweight 52 and a third counterweight 53. The first counterweight 51 is located between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 and is adjacent to the front side of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. The second counterweight 52 is installed on the left side of the second processing cylinder 2 and is adjacent to the front side of the second processing cylinder 2. The third counterweight 53 is installed on the right side of the third processing cylinder 3 and is adjacent to the front side of the third processing cylinder 3.

[0074] It is understandable that the first counterweight 51, the second counterweight 52, and the third counterweight 53 are assembled together on the second outer cylinder 21 and the third outer cylinder 31. When the second inner cylinder 22 and the third inner cylinder 32 rotate, the vibration amplitude of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 will be greatly reduced under the gravity of the first counterweight 51, the second counterweight 52, and the third counterweight 53. This can reduce the noise generated when the cylinder assembly is working, and the vibration reduction and noise reduction effect is good.

[0075] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the highest point of the first counterweight 51 is lower than the highest point of either the second processing cylinder 2 or the third processing cylinder 3. Therefore, the upper area of ​​the first counterweight 51 can be used to install other components of the garment processing equipment, which facilitates the arrangement of components within the housing 7 and results in a more compact structure.

[0076] like Figure 5 As shown, the second counterweight 52 extends vertically, and the side of the second counterweight 52 facing the second processing cylinder 2 has a third arc-shaped surface 521, which is used to match the second processing cylinder 2 or the door seal on the second processing cylinder 2. Because the third arc-shaped surface 521 matches the second processing cylinder 2 or the door seal on the second processing cylinder 2, the fit between the second counterweight 52 and the second processing cylinder 2 or the door seal can be improved. On the one hand, this can reduce the vibration amplitude of the second processing cylinder 2, resulting in better vibration reduction and noise reduction. On the other hand, it can reduce the lateral dimensions of the cylinder assembly.

[0077] like Figure 5 As shown, the third counterweight 53 extends vertically, and the side of the third counterweight 53 facing the third processing cylinder 3 has a fourth arc-shaped surface 531, which is used to match the third processing cylinder 3 or the door seal on the third processing cylinder 3. Because the fourth arc-shaped surface 531 matches the third processing cylinder 3 or the door seal on the third processing cylinder 3, the fit between the third counterweight 53 and the third processing cylinder 3 or the door seal can be improved. On the one hand, this can reduce the vibration amplitude of the third processing cylinder 3, resulting in better vibration reduction and noise reduction. On the other hand, it can reduce the size of the cylinder assembly in the left-right direction.

[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, another embodiment of the clothing processing device of the present invention includes a housing 7 and a tubular assembly, the tubular assembly being installed inside the housing 7, and the tubular assembly being the tubular assembly of the present invention.

[0079] According to the clothing processing device of the present invention, since the cylinder assembly has a second processing cylinder 2 and a third processing cylinder 3 arranged on the upper side of the first processing cylinder 1, different clothes or other items to be processed can be classified and placed into the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3 for processing. Since the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1 is higher than the critical point of the second processing cylinder 2 and the critical point of the third processing cylinder 3, the critical point of the second processing cylinder 2 includes the lowest point of the second processing cylinder 2, or the point of the second processing cylinder 2 closest to the first processing cylinder 1, and the critical point of the third processing cylinder 3 includes the lowest point of the third processing cylinder 3, or the point of the third processing cylinder 3 closest to the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 can make full use of the space above the left or right of the first processing cylinder 1 to reduce the overall height of the cylinder assembly, making the structure of the cylinder assembly compact and occupying less space.

[0080] For example, the garment processing equipment can be a washing machine, a dryer, or a washer-dryer combo. Accordingly, any one of the first processing drum 1, the second processing drum 2, and the third processing drum 3 can be used to dry or wash clothes, or any one of the first processing drum 1, the second processing drum 2, and the third processing drum 3 can both dry and wash clothes.
