Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a garment processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing processing equipment is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to wash or dry clothes. It has now entered thousands of households and is very common.

[0003] Currently, garment processing equipment uses motors as the driving component. The motors are generally installed on the outer cylinder of the garment processing equipment, and vibration damping pads are set at the connection between the motor and the outer cylinder. However, traditional vibration damping pads have poor vibration absorption capacity, which can easily lead to large amplitude of the outer cylinder, affecting the stability of the garment processing equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this disclosure is to provide a garment processing device to improve the technical problem in the prior art where the poor vibration absorption capacity of the damping pad affects the stability of the device.

[0005] To achieve at least one of the above objectives, this disclosure provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A garment processing device is provided, comprising:

[0007] The enclosure, the cylindrical assembly and the motor housed inside the enclosure;

[0008] The cylinder assembly includes:

[0009] The outer cylinder connects to the housing;

[0010] The inner cylinder is rotatably located inside the outer cylinder;

[0011] The motor is located on the outer periphery of the outer cylinder and is configured to drive the inner cylinder to rotate;

[0012] Garment processing equipment also includes:

[0013] The connecting component is configured to connect the motor and the outer cylinder;

[0014] The connection components include:

[0015] The support arm is mounted on the motor housing;

[0016] The first connecting part is provided on the support arm;

[0017] The second connecting part is provided on the outer cylinder;

[0018] One of the first connecting part and the second connecting part is a column structure, and the other is a cavity structure. The column structure and the cavity structure are inserted and matched.

[0019] The connection components also include:

[0020] Vibration damping pads are provided with insertion holes adapted to the column structure, so that at least part of the vibration damping pads are sandwiched between the column structure and the inner wall of the cavity structure.

[0021] The vibration damping pad is also equipped with a buffer cavity, which is not located in the area along the height direction of the box body where the plug hole is inserted.

[0022] In the above technical solution, a buffer cavity is set on the vibration damping pad. When the motor vibrates, the column structure squeezes the vibration damping pad in different directions. The column structure shifts towards the side where the buffer cavity is located, squeezing the vibration damping pad. Due to the existence of the buffer cavity, the resistance that needs to be overcome to deform the vibration damping pad is smaller. Furthermore, the deformation of the vibration damping pad under the squeezing of the column structure is transmitted from the position close to the column structure to the outer periphery of the vibration damping pad, that is, the vibration is transmitted from the inside to the outside of the vibration damping pad. When the column structure squeezes the vibration damping pad in the direction of the buffer cavity, the deformation generated on the inner part of the vibration damping pad is absorbed by the buffer cavity, thereby reducing the deformation of the outer part of the vibration damping pad. The deformation of the side portion reduces the vibration amplitude of the damping pad, thus reducing the vibration of the outer cylinder and the housing. The buffer cavity significantly reduces the dynamic stiffness of the damping pad in the corresponding area, giving the damping pad, especially in the part of the buffer cavity relative to the insertion hole, a better ability to absorb vibration and improve the damping effect. Furthermore, the buffer cavity is not located in the area along the height of the housing from the insertion hole. In the static state, the buffer cavity avoids the main force direction of the column structure, ensuring that the damping pad has sufficient support strength in the height direction of the housing and improving the stability of the motor installation.

[0023] In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the buffer cavity and the outer peripheral surface of the vibration damping pad is D1, and the minimum distance between the buffer cavity and the insertion hole is D2;

[0024] Among them, D1 and D2 satisfy: D1 > 1.5mm, D2 > 3mm.

[0025] In the above technical solution, by limiting the dimensions of D1 and D2 to the corresponding range, the problem of the vibration damping pad having too low structural strength at the buffer cavity and failing to provide stable support can be avoided. The part of the vibration damping pad around the buffer cavity has sufficient thickness. When the motor drives the column structure to vibrate, and the vibration damping pad is squeezed near the buffer cavity, the vibration damping pad can provide sufficient elastic recovery force, thus achieving a good vibration damping and buffering effect. In addition, when the column structure squeezes the vibration damping pad and deforms, and the buffer cavity absorbs the deformation, the part that deforms is mainly the part between the buffer cavity and the insertion hole. Setting the minimum value of D2 to be greater than the minimum value of D1 can reduce the risk that the vibration damping pad cannot provide stable support or cannot provide sufficient elastic recovery force, thereby improving the stability of motor installation.

[0026] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the buffer cavity in the set plane is a first cross-section, and the cross-section of the vibration damping pad in the set plane is a second cross-section;

[0027] The area of ​​the first cross section is S1, and the area of ​​the region enclosed by the outer perimeter of the second cross section is S2.

[0028] Where S1 and S2 satisfy: 0.06 < S1 / S2 < 0.1;

[0029] The plane is defined as any plane that is perpendicular to the insertion direction and passes through the buffer cavity;

[0030] The insertion direction is the direction in which the cylindrical structure is inserted into the insertion hole.

[0031] In the above technical solution, limiting the ratio of the first cross section to the second cross section to the above range ensures that the size of the buffer cavity is large enough to absorb enough vibration and achieve a good vibration reduction effect. On the other hand, it also avoids the problem that the size of the buffer cavity is too large, which would reduce the structural strength of the vibration damping pad and make it difficult to provide stable support, thus improving the stability of motor installation.

[0032] In some embodiments, the number of buffer cavities is at least two, and the at least two buffer cavities are distributed horizontally on both sides of the insertion hole.

[0033] In the above technical solution, compared with the method of setting a buffer cavity on one side of the insertion hole, the uniformity of the dynamic stiffness of the vibration damping pad in the horizontal direction can be improved, the absorption effect of the vibration of the motor in the horizontal direction is better, the vibration damping and buffering effect of the vibration damping pad is further improved, and the vibration amplitude of the clothing processing equipment in the working state is reduced.

[0034] In some embodiments, the column structure and the insertion hole are provided with an anti-rotation fit to limit the vibration damping pad from rotating relative to the column structure about the insertion direction;

[0035] The insertion direction is the direction in which the cylindrical structure is inserted into the insertion hole.

[0036] In the above technical solution, by setting anti-rotation fit to limit the rotation of the damping pad, the damping pad is sandwiched between the column structure and the cavity structure, and it is not easy to deflect. This keeps the arrangement direction of the buffer cavity and the insertion hole in the state when it was installed, and avoids the damping pad from deflecting, so that the buffer cavity and the insertion hole are arranged vertically, thus ensuring the stability of the damping pad in the vertical direction.

[0037] In some embodiments, the insertion hole has a third cross section perpendicular to the insertion direction, the maximum dimension of the third cross section in the horizontal direction is the first dimension, and the maximum dimension of the third cross section in the height direction of the housing is the second dimension;

[0038] The first dimension is smaller than the second dimension;

[0039] The insertion direction is the direction in which the cylindrical structure is inserted into the insertion hole.

[0040] In the above technical solution, there is a large enough margin on both sides of the horizontal direction of the insertion hole on the vibration damping pad to open a buffer cavity; if the size of the buffer cavity on the vibration damping pad is small, it will be difficult to absorb the vibration and improve the vibration damping effect of the vibration damping pad after the buffer cavity is opened.

[0041] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the insertion hole perpendicular to the insertion direction is elliptical.

[0042] In the above technical solution, the cross-section of the insertion hole is elliptical. Through the cooperation between the column structure and the side wall of the insertion hole, the rotation of the damping pad relative to the column structure can be restricted. There is no need to set up a separate limiting structure to restrict the rotation of the damping pad, which makes it more convenient to operate in the production or subsequent assembly process.

[0043] In some embodiments, the two ends of the plug hole that are opposite to each other are the first end and the second end, respectively, and the column structure is inserted into the plug hole from the first end;

[0044] The opening at the first end of the connector is flared.

[0045] In the above technical solution, when the vibration damping pad is fitted onto the column structure, the column structure is inserted into the insertion hole from the flared end of the insertion hole. There is no need to perform special alignment operations between the column structure and the insertion hole, which can easily achieve alignment and insertion, making the operation convenient.

[0046] In some embodiments, the cylinder assembly further includes a support structure configured to support the outer cylinder and to connect the outer cylinder to the housing.

[0047] The second connecting part is mounted on the outer cylinder via a support structure.

[0048] In the above technical solution, a connecting component is set up to directly connect the motor to the support structure. Since the rigidity of the support structure is much greater than that of the thin-walled outer cylinder, connecting the motor to the support structure can improve the installation strength of the motor and ensure the stability of the motor after assembly. Moreover, by connecting the motor to the outer cylinder through the support structure, the vibration force generated by the motor during operation must be transmitted to the outer cylinder through the support structure, which extends the vibration transmission path and reduces the force transmitted from the motor to the outer cylinder, thereby reducing the amount of vibration of the outer cylinder and improving the vibration reduction effect.

[0049] In some embodiments, the number of connecting components is at least two, and at least some of the connecting components are provided with fasteners;

[0050] The fastener is configured to lock the first connection part and the second connection part.

[0051] In the above technical solution, the connection components are set to connect the motor and the outer cylinder by plugging in, which is relatively convenient to operate; and fasteners are set on at least some of the connection components to assist in fixing, which can ensure the firmness of the connection between the motor and the outer cylinder.

[0052] In some embodiments, the number of connecting components is three, which are divided into one middle connecting component and two side connecting components, with the two side connecting components distributed horizontally on both sides of the middle connecting component.

[0053] There is one fastener, which is connected to the intermediate connecting component.

[0054] In the above technical solution, the middle connecting component is locked by plugging and fasteners, and the side connecting components are locked by plugging. In addition, combined with the two buffer cavities on the vibration damping pad distributed horizontally on both sides of the plugging hole, the pressure that the vibration damping pad needs to overcome to deform in the horizontal direction is smaller when the column structure applies force to the vibration damping pad. When the motor vibrates, the motor will swing horizontally with the middle connecting component as the midpoint, and the dynamic stiffness of the vibration damping pad in the horizontal direction will be lower, improving the vibration damping and energy absorption effect and more effectively isolating motor vibration. In addition, the connecting components on both sides are directly connected by plugging, and fasteners are only set on the middle connecting component for fixation, making the installation process more convenient.

[0084] As part of the inventive concept of this disclosure, before describing the embodiments of this disclosure, it is necessary to analyze the reasons for the problems of low vibration absorption efficiency and poor vibration reduction effect of vibration damping pads in related technologies, and obtain the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure through reasonable analysis.

[0085] In related technologies, clothing processing equipment is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to wash or dry clothes. It is now widely used in households. Currently, clothing processing equipment uses a motor as the driving component. The motor is generally mounted on the outer drum of the equipment, and a vibration damping pad is installed at the connection point between the motor and the outer drum. The vibration damping pad has through holes for bolts or other columnar structures to pass through, and is sandwiched between the motor and the outer drum. During operation, the vibration generated by the motor is transmitted to the outer drum through the vibration damping pad. The deformation of the vibration damping pad absorbs some of the vibration, reducing the amount of vibration transmitted to the outer drum and the entire clothing processing equipment. Furthermore, the vibration damping pad needs to have sufficient structural rigidity to provide stable support for the motor; however, excessive structural rigidity of the vibration damping pad will result in poor vibration absorption capacity, causing a large portion of the vibration generated by the motor to still be transmitted to the outer drum, resulting in a large vibration amplitude in the outer drum and the entire clothing processing equipment, affecting the stability of the clothing processing equipment.

[0086] To address this issue, this disclosure provides a garment processing device that solves the technical problem of poor vibration absorption capacity of the damping pads affecting the stability of the device in the prior art by changing the shape, structure, and installation method of the damping pads.

[0087] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The technical features involved in the different embodiments of this disclosure described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0088] Clothing processing equipment can be a drum washing machine, a washer-dryer combo, etc. For ease of description, the following explanation will use a drum washing machine as an example.

[0089] Please refer to the above. Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of a garment processing device is provided, showing the basic components of the garment processing device. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a garment processing device is provided, showing the connection between a motor and an outer cylinder via a support structure; the diagram illustrates the relative positions of the motor and the outer cylinder. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the connection structure between the motor and the outer cylinder support is provided. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a connecting component is provided, showing the main components of the connecting component. Figure 5 A structural schematic diagram of a vibration damping pad is provided.

[0090] This disclosure provides a garment processing device, such as... Figures 1 to 3As shown, the garment processing equipment includes a housing 1, a drum assembly 2, and a motor 3. The drum assembly 2 is located inside the housing 1, and the motor 3 is located inside the housing 1 and on the outer periphery of the drum assembly 2. The motor 3 can drive the drum assembly 2 to work to complete tasks such as washing or drying.

[0091] In this embodiment, the housing 1 forms the outer shell of the clothing processing equipment, which is usually a rectangular hollow structure. The appearance of the housing 1 can be designed as needed and is not limited here. The housing 1 is provided with a receiving cavity, which can provide installation space for components such as the cylinder assembly 2 and the motor 3.

[0092] The cabinet 1 is provided with a dispensing port 11, which can be roughly circular and located on the front end face of the cabinet 1. The dispensing port connects to the receiving cavity. Of course, the dispensing port can also be located on other end faces of the cabinet 1, which is not limited here. However, for conventional drum washing machines, the dispensing port is generally located on the front end face of the cabinet 1.

[0093] A door 12 is also installed on the housing 1. The door 12 is movably connected to the housing 1 near the dispensing port 11 via a hinge shaft to open or close the dispensing port 111.

[0094] In this embodiment, the tubular assembly 2 is disposed in the receiving cavity of the housing 1 and can be used for washing, rinsing, dehydrating and drying clothes.

[0095] The cylinder assembly 2 has a cylinder opening, which can be roughly circular and located on the front end face of the cylinder assembly 2. The cylinder opening is arranged opposite to the dispensing port.

[0096] The drum assembly 2 also has a washing chamber that can hold clothes; after the door is opened, clothes can be put into or taken out of the washing chamber through the inlet and the drum opening.

[0097] The drum assembly 2 includes an outer drum 21 and an inner drum 22. The outer drum 21 is disposed in the receiving cavity of the housing 1, and the inner drum 22 is rotatably disposed inside the outer drum 21 via a rotating shaft. The washing chamber is formed inside the inner drum 22, thereby enabling the inner drum 22 to drive the clothes to rotate relative to the outer drum, improving the uniformity of washing and dehydrating the clothes. The outer drum 21 and the inner drum 22 can be arranged coaxially inside and outside. The front end of the outer drum 21 and the front end of the inner drum 22 are provided with openings arranged opposite to each other, and the front end opening of the outer drum 21 can serve as the drum opening of the drum assembly 2.

[0098] In this embodiment, the motor 3 serves as the driving component for driving the inner cylinder 22 and is disposed on the outer periphery of the outer cylinder 21.

[0099] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the garment processing equipment also includes a connecting component 4, which is configured to connect the tube assembly 2 and the motor 3.

[0100] Specifically, the connecting assembly 4 includes a support arm 41, a first connecting part 42, and a second connecting part 43. The support arm 41 is disposed on the housing of the motor 3, the first connecting part 42 is disposed on the support arm 41, and the second connecting part 43 is disposed on the outer cylinder 21. One of the first connecting part 42 and the second connecting part 43 is a cylindrical structure, and the other is a cavity structure; the cylindrical structure and the cavity structure are interlocked.

[0101] Specifically, in the first scenario, the first connecting part 42 is a cylindrical structure connected to the support arm 41, and the second connecting part 43 is a cavity structure located on the outer cylinder 21, with the first connecting part 42 inserted inside the second connecting part 43. In the second scenario, the first connecting part 42 is a cavity structure located on the support arm 41, and the second connecting part 43 is a cylindrical structure connected to the outer cylinder 21, with the second connecting part 43 inserted inside the first connecting part 42. This embodiment will be described using the first scenario as an example.

[0102] Optionally, the support arm 41 is integrally formed with the housing of the motor 3, and the first connecting part 42 is also integrally formed with the support arm 41. This integral forming method increases the overall rigidity of the structure and improves the stability of the motor 3 installation. Furthermore, when installing the motor 3, it eliminates the need to assemble multiple components, reducing assembly time and errors, and improving work efficiency and assembly quality.

[0103] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the connecting component 4 also includes a vibration damping pad 44, which has a plug hole 441 adapted to the above-mentioned column structure. The vibration damping pad 44 is sleeved on the column structure so that at least part of the vibration damping pad 44 is sandwiched between the column structure and the inner wall of the cavity structure.

[0104] For ease of explanation, in this embodiment, the direction in which the column structure is inserted into the insertion hole 441 is defined as the insertion direction.

[0105] Among them, the vibration damping pad 44 can be made of vibration damping material, which can be rubber, EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer), ACF (Artificial Cartilage Foam), PU (Polyurethane), etc.

[0106] The motor 3 is mounted on the outer cylinder 21 in a hanging position, with the aforementioned insertion direction horizontal. Alternatively, the insertion direction can be adjusted according to actual needs to create an angle between the insertion direction and the horizontal direction, such as the insertion direction pointing diagonally upwards.

[0107] Please refer to the above. Figures 5 to 7 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of a vibration damping pad is provided, showing the columnar structure of the vibration damping pad. Figure 6 A cross-sectional structural diagram of a vibration damping pad is provided, showing one configuration of the buffer cavity. Figure 7 A cross-sectional structural diagram of another vibration damping pad is provided, showing another configuration of the buffer cavity.

[0108] Furthermore, the vibration damping pad 44 is also provided with a buffer cavity 442, which is not located within the area of ​​the insertion hole 441 along the height direction of the housing 1. The area of ​​the insertion hole 441 along the height direction of the housing 1 refers to the area swept by the insertion hole 441 as it slides along the height direction of the housing 1. When the clothing processing equipment is in operation, the height direction of the housing 1 is generally vertical. Of course, in actual use, the height direction may have a certain tilt angle relative to the vertical direction.

[0109] In operation, the motor 3 drives the inner cylinder 22 to rotate. During this process, the vibration generated by the motor 3 is transmitted to the outer cylinder 2 and the box 1 through the support arm 41, the column structure, and the vibration damping pad 44, causing the outer cylinder 21 and the box 1 to vibrate.

[0110] Specifically, the vibration of motor 3 is transmitted to the column structure through support arm 41, causing the column structure to shift in different directions at a higher frequency, squeezing the damping pad 44 and causing the damping pad 44 to deform, which in turn transmits the vibration to the outer cylinder 21 and the box 1, causing the clothing processing equipment to vibrate.

[0111] In this embodiment, a buffer cavity 442 is provided on the vibration damping pad 44. When the motor 3 vibrates, the column structure shifts and squeezes the vibration damping pad 44 in different directions. When the column structure shifts and squeezes the vibration damping pad 44 on the side where the buffer cavity 442 is located, due to the existence of the buffer cavity 442, the resistance that needs to be overcome to deform the vibration damping pad 44 is smaller, that is, the dynamic stiffness of the vibration damping pad 44 in the corresponding direction is reduced.

[0112] Furthermore, the deformation of the damping pad 44 under the compression of the column structure is transmitted from the position close to the column structure to the outer periphery of the damping pad 44, that is, the vibration is transmitted from the inside to the outside on the damping pad 44; when the column structure compresses the damping pad 44 in the direction of the buffer cavity 442, the deformation generated on the inner part of the damping pad 44 is partially or even completely absorbed by the buffer cavity 442, thereby reducing or even eliminating the deformation on the outer part of the damping pad 44, reducing the overall vibration amplitude of the damping pad 44, that is, reducing the vibration of the outer cylinder 21 and the box 1.

[0113] By creating a buffer cavity 442, the dynamic stiffness of the damping pad 44 in the corresponding area can be significantly reduced, making the damping pad 44, especially the part on the damping pad 44 with the buffer cavity 442, have a better ability to absorb vibration and improve the damping effect of the damping pad 44. During the operation of the garment processing equipment, the amount of vibration transmitted by the motor 3 is effectively reduced, the vibration of the outer cylinder 21 and the housing 1 of the garment processing equipment is reduced, and the stability of the garment processing equipment in the working state is improved.

[0114] In addition, in the static state, the column structure is arranged horizontally and inserted into the cavity structure. Under the gravity of the motor 3, the column structure and the cavity structure tend to rotate relative to each other in the vertical plane, that is, the column structure exerts a force on the vibration damping pad 44 in the vertical plane.

[0115] In this embodiment, the buffer cavity 442 is not located in the vertical direction of the insertion hole 441. That is, the buffer cavity 442 is set to avoid the main force direction of the column structure when it is stationary, so as to ensure that the vibration damping pad 44 has higher structural strength in the vertical direction, reduce the risk that the vibration damping pad 44 is prone to deformation in the vertical direction due to the opening of the buffer cavity 442, and ensure the stability of the motor 3 connected to the outer cylinder 21.

[0116] Furthermore, two buffer cavities 442 are provided, and the two buffer cavities 442 are distributed horizontally on both sides of the insertion hole 441.

[0117] Compared to setting a buffer cavity 442 on one side of the insertion hole 441, this method can improve the uniformity of the dynamic stiffness of the vibration damping pad 44 in the horizontal direction, and has a better absorption effect on the vibration of the motor 3 in the horizontal direction, further improving the vibration damping and buffering effect of the vibration damping pad 44 and reducing the vibration amplitude of the clothing processing equipment in operation.

[0118] Optionally, the two buffer cavities 442 are symmetrically distributed about the insertion hole 441.

[0119] Alternatively, the number of buffer cavities 442 can be three, four, or other quantities. When multiple buffer cavities 442 are provided, they are distributed horizontally on both sides of the insertion hole 441. For example, there are four buffer cavities 442, with two cavities forming a group. The two groups of buffer cavities 442 are located on both sides of the insertion hole 441 in the horizontal direction. The two buffer cavities 442 in the same group can be arranged along the insertion direction or in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction.

[0120] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7It should be noted that in this embodiment, the buffer cavity 442 can be configured as a cavity located inside the vibration damping pad 44 and not connected to the surface of the vibration damping pad 44, or it can be configured as a groove with one end connected to the surface of the vibration damping pad 44, or it can be configured as a hole with both ends connected to the surface of the vibration damping pad 44.

[0121] In some embodiments, an anti-rotation fit is provided between the column structure and the insertion hole 441 to restrict the vibration damping pad 44 from rotating relative to the column structure around the insertion direction. The anti-rotation fit can be achieved by setting the cross-sectional shape of the column structure and the insertion hole 441 to restrict the rotation of the vibration damping pad 44, or by providing a limiting structure between the column structure and the insertion hole 441 to restrict the rotation of the vibration damping pad 44.

[0122] By setting an anti-rotation fit to restrict the rotation of the damping pad 44, the damping pad 44 is sandwiched between the column structure and the cavity structure, making it less prone to deflection. This keeps the arrangement direction of the buffer cavity 442 and the insertion hole 441 in the initial installation state, preventing the damping pad 44 from deflecting and causing the buffer cavity 442 and the insertion hole 441 to be arranged vertically, thus ensuring the stability of the damping pad 44 in the vertical direction.

[0123] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the cross-section of the insertion hole 441 perpendicular to the insertion direction is elliptical, and correspondingly, the cross-section of the column structure perpendicular to the insertion direction is also elliptical, and the column structure is adapted to the insertion hole 441.

[0124] The column structure is inserted into the insertion hole 441. Due to the constraint of the elliptical structure, the vibration damping pad 44 is restricted from rotating relative to the column structure. Furthermore, when installing the vibration damping pad 44, the elliptical cross-section of the column structure and the insertion hole 441 help determine the installation angle of the vibration damping pad 44. It is no longer necessary to deflect the vibration damping pad 44 at a small angle to keep the buffer cavity 442 and the insertion hole 441 horizontally aligned, thus improving the convenience of installation.

[0125] In addition, the shape of the cross section of the insertion hole 441 perpendicular to the insertion direction can also be set as a non-circular shape such as a triangle, quadrilateral, or pentagon, while keeping the column structure and the insertion hole 441 compatible, so as to limit the deflection of the vibration damping pad 44 relative to the column structure.

[0126] Optionally, a limiting structure can be provided between the column structure and the insertion hole 441 to restrict the rotation of the vibration damping pad 44. For example, a limiting protrusion extending along the insertion direction is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the column structure, and a limiting groove adapted to the limiting protrusion is provided on the inner wall of the insertion hole 441. The limiting protrusion is embedded in the limiting groove to restrict the rotation of the vibration damping pad 44 relative to the column structure.

[0127] Please refer to the above. Figures 6 to 9 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 A cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of a vibration damping pad is provided, showing different configurations of the buffer cavity. Figure 8 A cross-sectional structural diagram of a vibration damping pad is provided to illustrate the proportion of the buffer cavity in the overall vibration damping pad. Figure 9 A schematic diagram of a vibration damping pad is provided, showing the specific location of the buffer cavity on the vibration damping pad.

[0128] like Figure 8 As shown, the insertion hole 441 has a third cross section perpendicular to the insertion direction. The maximum dimension of the third cross section in the horizontal direction is the first dimension, and the maximum dimension of the third cross section in the height direction of the housing 1 is the second dimension. The first dimension is smaller than the second dimension.

[0129] Thus, on both sides of the insertion hole 441 on the vibration damping pad 44, there is a sufficiently large margin to allow for the opening of the buffer cavity 442. If the size of the portion of the vibration damping pad 44 for opening the buffer cavity 442 is too small, it will be difficult for the buffer cavity 442 to absorb vibration and improve the vibration damping effect of the vibration damping pad 44.

[0130] Specifically, one scenario is that if the size of the portion where the buffer cavity 442 is located is small, the size of the buffer cavity 442 needs to be reduced. However, the size of the buffer cavity 442 will affect its ability to absorb vibration. If the size of the buffer cavity 442 is reduced, its ability to absorb vibration will also decrease, resulting in a decrease in vibration reduction effect.

[0131] Another situation is that if the size of the portion where the buffer cavity 442 is opened is small, the distance between the buffer cavity 442 and the insertion hole 441 and the outer peripheral surface of the vibration damping pad 44 will be too small, causing the vibration damping pad 44 to be unable to provide stable support in the corresponding direction. After the vibration damping pad 44 is deformed, the elastic recovery force generated is small, which will also cause the vibration damping effect of the vibration damping pad 44 to be poor.

[0132] In this embodiment, a sufficiently large space is left on both sides of the insertion hole 441 in the horizontal direction to open the buffer cavity 442, so that the buffer cavity 442 has a strong ability to absorb vibration, and the vibration damping pad 44 still maintains a strong elastic recovery force, and the vibration damping pad 44 has a better vibration damping and buffering effect.

[0133] For example, when the cross-section of the insertion hole 441 is elliptical, the minor axis of the ellipse is arranged in the horizontal direction so that there is enough space on both sides of the insertion hole 441 on the damping pad 44 to provide for opening the buffer cavity 442.

[0134] Optionally, the minor axis of the ellipse can also be set to have a certain angle of inclination with the horizontal direction, but the first dimension of the insertion hole 441 should be smaller than the second dimension.

[0135] like Figure 9 As shown, the minimum distance between the buffer cavity 442 and the outer peripheral surface of the vibration damping pad 44 is D1, and the minimum distance between the buffer cavity 442 and the insertion hole 441 is D2; D1 and D2 satisfy: D1 > 1.5mm, D2 > 3mm. For example, the value of D1 can be: 1.6mm, 1.7mm, 1.8mm, 1.9mm, 2mm; the value of D2 can be: 3.1mm, 3.2mm, 3.3mm, 3.4mm, 3.5mm.

[0136] It should be noted that the minimum distance D1 referred to here is the minimum distance between any two points on the side wall of the buffer cavity 442 and the outer circumferential surface of the vibration damping pad 44. The minimum distance D2 refers to the minimum distance between any two points on the side wall of the buffer cavity 442 and the side wall of the insertion hole 441.

[0137] By limiting the minimum distance mentioned above, it can be ensured that the buffer cavity 442 is opened at a suitable position on the vibration damping pad 44, neither too close to the inner insertion hole 441 nor too close to the outer peripheral surface of the vibration damping pad 44.

[0138] When D1 > 1.5mm and D2 > 3mm, the structural strength of the damping pad 44 at the buffer cavity 442 is too low, which can prevent it from providing stable support. The part of the damping pad 44 around the buffer cavity 442 has sufficient thickness. When the motor 3 drives the column structure to vibrate, it can provide sufficient elastic recovery force when it squeezes the position of the damping pad 44 near the buffer cavity 442, thus achieving a good damping and buffering effect.

[0139] If the dimensions of D1 are no greater than 1.5mm and D2 are no greater than 3mm, the damping pad 44 will not be able to provide sufficient support strength, affecting the stability of the connection between the motor 3 and the outer cylinder 21. This will cause the motor 3 to sway relative to the outer cylinder 21 when not in operation, especially in the direction of the arrangement of the buffer cavity 442 relative to the insertion hole 442. Furthermore, after the column structure compresses and deforms the damping pad 44, the insufficient thickness of the periphery of the buffer cavity 442 on the damping pad 44 will prevent it from providing a sufficiently large elastic recovery force, resulting in poor ability of the damping pad 44 to absorb the vibration of the motor 3.

[0140] In addition, when the column structure compresses and deforms the damping pad 44, the buffer cavity 442 absorbs the deformation. The part that deforms is mainly the part between the buffer cavity 442 and the insertion hole 441. Therefore, setting the minimum value of D2 to be greater than the minimum value of D1 can reduce the risk that the damping pad 44 cannot provide stable support or cannot provide a sufficiently large elastic recovery force, thereby improving the stability of the motor 3 installation.

[0141] like Figure 8 As shown, the cross-section of the buffer cavity 442 within the set plane is the first cross-section, and the cross-section of the vibration damping pad 44 within the set plane is the second cross-section; the area of ​​the first cross-section is S1, and the area of ​​the second cross-section is S2, where S1 and S2 satisfy: 0.06 < S1 / S2 < 0.1. The set plane is any plane perpendicular to the insertion direction and passing through the buffer cavity 442; passing through the buffer cavity 442 means that the set plane intersects with the buffer cavity 442.

[0142] It should be noted that when there are multiple buffer cavities 442, the first cross section refers to the cross section of all buffer cavities 442 on the vibration damping pad 44, and the area of ​​the first cross section refers to the area enclosed by the outer periphery of the first cross section; the area of ​​the second cross section refers to the area enclosed by the outer periphery of the second cross section, including the area of ​​the corresponding area of ​​the insertion hole 441 and the buffer cavity 442.

[0143] The ratio of the first section to the second section is within the above range. On the one hand, this ensures that the size of the buffer cavity 442 is large enough to absorb enough vibration and achieve a good vibration reduction effect. On the other hand, it also avoids the problem that the size of the buffer cavity 442 is too large, which would reduce the structural strength of the vibration damping pad 44 and make it difficult to provide stable support, thus improving the stability of the motor installation.

[0144] If the area of ​​the second cross section is fixed, and the ratio of the first cross section to the second cross section is not greater than 0.06, that is, if the size of the buffer cavity 442 is too small, the buffer cavity 442 will have insufficient ability to absorb vibration, resulting in a small improvement in the vibration reduction effect of the damping pad 44 and making it difficult to achieve a good vibration reduction effect.

[0145] If the ratio of the first section to the second section is not less than 0.1, that is, if the size of the buffer cavity 442 is too large, it will be difficult for the area corresponding to the buffer cavity 442 on the damping pad 44 to provide stable support, affecting the stability of the connection between the motor 3 and the outer cylinder 21; in addition, it will also make it difficult for the damping pad 44 to provide a sufficiently large elastic restoring force, and the damping and buffering effect of the damping pad 44 will be poor.

[0146] For example, the vibration damping pad 44 is a cylindrical structure, and there are two buffer cavities 442. The ratio of the horizontal dimension of a single buffer cavity 442 to the diameter of the vibration damping pad 44 is 7%, and the ratio of the vertical dimension of the buffer cavity 442 to the diameter of the vibration damping pad 44 is 44%. Correspondingly, the value of S1 / S2 is 0.078. It should be noted that the above value of 0.078 is an approximate value of the ratio of S1 to S2.

[0147] In addition, the value of S1 / S2 can also be 0.062, 0.065, 0.068, 0.072, 0.075, 0.082, 0.085, 0.088, 0.092, 0.095, 0.098, etc.

[0148] For example, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the two ends of the insertion hole 441 that are opposite to each other are the first end 441a and the second end 441b, respectively. The column structure is inserted into the insertion hole 441 from the first end 441a. The opening of the insertion hole 441 at the first end 441a is flared.

[0149] Thus, when the vibration damping pad 44 is fitted onto the column structure, the column structure is inserted through the flared end of the insertion hole 441. There is no need to perform special alignment operations between the column structure and the insertion hole 441, which can easily achieve alignment and insertion, making the operation convenient.

[0150] Furthermore, the aforementioned flared extension extends from the first end 441a to the second end 441b; that is, the cross-sectional dimension of the insertion hole 441 perpendicular to the insertion direction decreases along the insertion direction, meaning that the insertion hole 441 and the column structure are a matching platform structure.

[0151] The above-mentioned design not only improves the convenience of inserting the column structure into the insertion hole 441, but also helps to improve the stability of the connection between the vibration damping pad 44 and the column structure.

[0152] Specifically, the column structure is inserted into the insertion hole 441. When the vibration damping pad 44 is subjected to a force in the opposite direction to the insertion direction, the surface of the column structure remains in contact with the inner wall of the insertion hole 441, ensuring the stability of the relative position between the vibration damping pad 44 and the column structure. If the cross-sectional dimensions of the insertion hole 441 are the same in the insertion direction, a gap may exist between the column structure and the inner wall of the insertion hole 441 due to processing errors. This would cause the vibration damping pad 44 to wobble relative to the column structure, thereby affecting the stability of the connection between the motor 3 and the outer cylinder 21.

[0153] In addition, setting the cross-sectional dimension of the end of the column structure connected to the support arm 41 to be larger is beneficial to improving the firmness of the column structure connected to the support arm 41.

[0154] Please refer to the above. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the connection structure between the motor and the outer cylinder is provided, showing the structure in which the motor is connected to the outer cylinder through a connecting assembly. Figure 3 and Figure 4 A schematic diagram is provided showing the connection between the motor and the support structure via a connecting component, including the specific structure of the connecting component and its connection relationship with the motor and the outer cylinder support. Figure 10 A schematic diagram of a fastener locking a first connecting part and a second connecting part is provided, showing the specific structure of the fastener and its cooperation with the connecting components. Figure 11 A schematic diagram of an assembly structure for a fastener is provided, showing a fastener connected to an intermediate connecting component with three connecting components.

[0155] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cylinder assembly 2 also includes a support structure 23, which is configured to support the outer cylinder 21 and connect the outer cylinder 21 to the housing 1; the second connecting part 43 is disposed on the outer cylinder 21 through the support structure 23. Taking the second connecting part 43 as a cavity structure as an example, the second connecting part 43 is formed on the support structure 23.

[0156] By setting up a support structure 23, the second connecting structure 43 is mounted on the support structure 23 instead of directly on the outer cylinder 21. The structural strength of the support structure 23 is much greater than that of the thin-walled outer cylinder 21, thus improving the stability of the motor 3 installation. Furthermore, the support structure 23 extends the transmission path of vibrations generated by the motor 3 to the outer cylinder 21 and the housing 1, reducing the amount of vibration transmitted to the outside and improving the vibration damping effect.

[0157] like Figure 10 As shown, the garment processing equipment also includes fasteners 5, which are configured to be connected to the connecting components 4 to lock the first connecting part 42 and the second connecting part 43. In this embodiment, the number of connecting components 4 is at least two, and at least some of the connecting components 4 are correspondingly provided with fasteners 5 to ensure the firmness of the connection between the motor 3 and the outer cylinder 21.

[0158] Specifically, the fastener 5 includes a fastening bolt 51 and a washer 52, wherein the washer 52 is a metal washer or made of other rigid materials. The washer 52 is attached to the side of the support structure 23 away from the support arm 41, and the fastening bolt 51 penetrates the washer 52 and is threadedly connected to the column structure; by tightening the fastening bolt 51, pressure is applied to the support structure 23 in the direction of the support arm 41, thereby locking the support structure 23 and the support arm 41 relative to each other, and locking the first connecting part 42 and the second connecting part 43.

[0159] In addition, fastener 5 can be provided, including a rubber pad. The rubber pad is placed between the pad 52 and the support structure 23. When the support structure 23 and the support arm 41 are locked by the fastening bolt 51, the stability of the contact between the pad 52 and the support structure 23 is ensured, the force is more even, and the problem of deformation of the pad 52, which would affect the stability of the connection between the support structure 23 and the support arm 41, can be reduced.

[0160] Optionally, two connecting components 4 are provided, corresponding to two column structures arranged horizontally; fasteners 5 can be one or two. In this embodiment, two fasteners 5 are also provided, with the two fasteners 5 respectively connected to the two column structures.

[0161] In this way, the motor 3 is connected to the outer cylinder 21, which can ensure the uniformity of the constraint force applied to the motor 3, avoid the problem of stress concentration at the connection position due to uneven force, and improve the stability of the connection between the motor 3 and the outer cylinder 21.

[0162] Optionally, such as Figure 11 As shown, there are three connecting components 4: one intermediate connecting component 4 and two side connecting components 4, which are distributed horizontally on both sides of the intermediate connecting component 4. There is one fastener 5, which is connected to the intermediate connecting component 4.

[0163] The intermediate connecting component 4 is locked by plugging and bolting, and the side connecting component 4 is locked by plugging. In addition, with the two buffer cavities 442 on the vibration damping pad 44 distributed horizontally on both sides of the plug hole 441, the pressure that the vibration damping pad 44 needs to overcome to deform in the horizontal direction is smaller when the column structure applies force to the vibration damping pad 44.

[0164] When motor 3 vibrates, it will swing horizontally with the intermediate connecting component 4 as the midpoint, and the vibration damping pad 44 has lower dynamic stiffness in the horizontal direction, which improves the vibration damping and energy absorption effect and can more effectively isolate the vibration of motor 3.

[0165] In addition, the connecting components 4 on both sides are directly connected by plugging, and fasteners 5 are only set on the middle connecting component 4 for fixation, making the installation process more convenient.

[0166] Optionally, when there are three connecting components 4, there are two fasteners 5. The two fasteners 5 are respectively set on the two side connecting components 4, which can ensure the uniformity of force at the connection of multiple connecting components 4, avoid stress concentration caused by uneven force, and improve the stability of the connection.

[0167] Optionally, when there are three connecting components 4, there are also three fasteners 5. The three fasteners 5 are respectively installed on the three connecting components 4 to ensure the secure installation of the motor 3.

[0168] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the two side connecting components 4 are distributed horizontally on both sides of the middle connecting component 4, meaning that the arrangement direction of any side connecting component 4 and the middle connecting component 4 has at least a horizontal component.

[0169] For example, a spatial rectangular coordinate system is constructed, in which the X-axis is along the horizontal direction. Then, the arrangement direction of any side connecting component 4 and the middle connecting component 4 has at least a component on the X-axis; and it can be determined as needed whether the above arrangement direction is set on the Y-axis and the Z-axis.

[0170] In addition, such as Figure 9 As shown, a raised edge 443 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the vibration damping pad 44, and the raised edge 443 is located on the vibration damping pad 44 at one end near the support arm 41.

[0171] When locking using fastener 5, the support structure 23 is pressed towards the support arm 41, and the support structure 23 and the support arm 41 cooperate to clamp the protrusion 443. The protrusion 443 enables buffering and vibration reduction between the support structure 23 and the support arm 41 in the insertion direction.

[0172] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure, and not to limit them.
