[0002] During the processing of clothes in garment handling equipment, there is a problem of uneven distribution of clothes within the drum. When the clothes are unevenly distributed within the drum, it creates an eccentric load, causing significant vibration of the outer drum during equipment operation, affecting the stable operation of the equipment, and increasing noise. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, one objective of this invention is to provide a support structure for garment processing equipment. According to the support structure of this invention, the different positions of the first connecting section and the second connecting section directly affect the constraint effect and vibration reduction effect of the stabilizing rod on the cylinder. The positions of the first and second connecting sections can be adjusted by the ratio (L2+L3) / L1, thereby optimizing the constraint effect and vibration reduction effect of the stabilizing rod. By limiting the ratio (L2+L3) / L1 to between 0 and 1, the support structure can effectively constrain the movement of the cylinder while absorbing and dispersing vibration energy through the vibration-damping rod connected by the extension section, reducing noise and shaking during equipment operation, thereby improving the overall stability and vibration reduction performance of the equipment.

[0005] The support structure according to this utility model is used in a garment processing device.

This allows the support structure to exhibit excellent stability and vibration reduction performance in clothing processing equipment, improving the overall performance of the equipment and the user experience. Furthermore, by limiting the ratio of (L2+L3) / L1 to between 0 and 0.5, the first and second connecting sections are relatively more compact, providing better constraint on the cylinder and significantly reducing cylinder swaying caused by uneven clothing distribution. At the same time, the extension section is more dispersed on both sides than the first and second connecting sections, and through effective connection with the damping bar, it can more effectively absorb and disperse vibration energy from the cylinder, further reducing noise and shaking during equipment operation. By fitting the vibration damper onto the first and second connecting sections, the vibration energy transmitted from the cylinder can be effectively absorbed and dispersed, thereby reducing the noise level and swaying during equipment operation. A fixing plate with a mating portion for housing the vibration damper is provided; this mating portion at least partially abuts the wall of the vibration damper to restrict its movement, enhancing its stability within the supporting structure and ensuring reliable vibration damping performance. Through the connection between the fixing plate and the cylinder, the vibration damper is constrained by both, effectively absorbing and dispersing the vibration generated by the cylinder, thus reducing noise and swaying during equipment operation.

[0051] In related technologies, uneven distribution of clothing within the drum is a problem during the processing of clothing in garment handling equipment. When the clothing is unevenly distributed within the drum, it creates an eccentric load, causing significant vibration of the outer drum during equipment operation, affecting the stable operation of the equipment, and increasing noise.

[0052] The following is for reference. Figures 1-7 The support structure for a garment processing device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the support structure according to this utility model is used in a garment processing device 1. The support structure includes a stabilizing rod 13, which is fixed to the cylinder 12, effectively increasing the rigidity of the support structure to reduce vibrations generated by the garment processing device 1 during operation. The stabilizing rod 13 is provided with a first connecting section 131 and a second connecting section 132, which are fixed to the cylinder 12 of the garment processing device 1. By fixing the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132 to the cylinder 12 of the garment processing device 1 respectively, the stabilizing rod 13 can constrain the movement of the cylinder 12 and reduce the shaking caused by uneven distribution of garments. Extension sections 133 are formed at both ends of the stabilizing rod 13, and the ends of the extension sections 133 are fixed to a vibration damping rod 14 to increase stability. By fixing the vibration damping rod 14 to the stabilizing rod 13, the vibration damping rod 14 can absorb and disperse vibration energy to reduce noise and shaking generated by the garment processing device 1 during operation, thereby improving the overall performance of the equipment and the user experience.

[0054] The plane containing the central axis of the cylinder 12 is the projection plane, which can be any plane containing the central axis. In the orthographic projection of the stabilizer bar 13 onto the projection plane, the relative positional relationships between the midpoint of the first connecting segment 131, the midpoint of the second connecting segment 13, and the endpoint of the stabilizer bar 13 can be obtained. The different positions of the first connecting segment 131 and the second connecting segment 132 directly affect the constraint effect and vibration reduction effect of the stabilizer bar 13 on the cylinder 12.

[0055] The distance between the midpoint of the first connecting segment 131 and the midpoint of the second connecting segment 13 is L1, which reflects the relative distance between them. The distance between the midpoint of the first connecting segment 131 and the endpoint of the adjacent stabilizer bar 13 is L2. When the first connecting segment 131 is positioned at the center of the stabilizer bar 13, L2 is the distance between the midpoint of the first connecting segment 131 and any endpoint of the stabilizer bar 13. When the first connecting segment 131 is positioned at other locations on the stabilizer bar 13, with the first connecting segment 131 biased to one side of the stabilizer bar 13, L2 is the distance to the endpoint of the stabilizer bar 13 pointing to that biased side. The distance between the midpoint of the second connecting segment 132 and the endpoint of the adjacent stabilizer bar 13 is L3. When the second connecting segment 132 is positioned at the center of the stabilizer bar 13, L3 is the distance between the midpoint of the second connecting segment 132 and any endpoint of the stabilizer bar 13. When the second connecting segment 132 is positioned at other locations on the stabilizer bar 13, the second connecting segment 132 is biased towards either side of the stabilizer bar 13, and L3 is the distance from the endpoint of the stabilizer bar 13 pointing to the biased side. Of course, at most one of the first connecting segment 131 and the second connecting segment 132 can be positioned at the middle of the stabilizer bar 13. L1, L2, and L3 satisfy: 0 < (L2 + L3) / L1 < 1.

[0056] When the ratio of (L2+L3) / L1 is small, the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132 are relatively concentrated, which can effectively limit the movement of the cylinder 12. The extension section 133 is more dispersed on both sides, which can absorb and disperse the vibration energy from the cylinder 12, reducing the noise and shaking generated during equipment operation.

[0057] When the ratio of (L2+L3) / L1 is close to 0.5, the distance between the first connecting segment 131 and the second connecting segment 132 and the extension segment 133 is relatively balanced, and the support structure exhibits a wide range of adaptability in the face of different loads and vibration conditions.

[0058] When the ratio of (L2+L3) / L1 is close to 1, the first connecting segment 131 and the second connecting segment 132 are relatively dispersed and closer to the extension segment 133, which can provide certain support and constraint.

[0059] According to the support structure of this utility model, 0 < (L2 + L3) / L1 < 1. The stabilizer bar 13 provides sufficient constraint while also achieving effective vibration reduction through the extension section 133 and the damping bar 14. When the ratio is within this range, the stabilizer bar 13 can both limit the movement of the cylinder 12, reducing swaying caused by uneven clothing distribution, and absorb and disperse vibration energy, reducing noise and swaying during equipment operation. This allows the support structure to exhibit excellent stability and vibration reduction performance in the clothing processing equipment 1, improving the overall performance of the equipment and the user experience.

[0060] Therefore, according to the support structure of this utility model, by limiting the ratio of (L2+L3) / L1 to between 0 and 1, the support structure can effectively constrain the movement of the cylinder 12 while absorbing and dispersing vibration energy through the damping rod 14 connected by the extension section 133, significantly reducing the noise and shaking during equipment operation, thereby improving the overall stability and vibration reduction performance of the equipment.

[0061]

[0062] It should be noted that the above table contains vibration test data of the garment processing equipment according to different embodiments of this utility model. As can be seen from the figure, the ratio of L2+L3 to L1 has a significant impact on the vibration performance of the garment processing equipment. Specifically, the table shows vibration test data under four different ratio configurations: L2+L3=0.25L1, L2+L3=0.5L1, L2+L3=0.75L1, and L2+L3=1.5L1. The table also details the vibration performance of the equipment under various operating conditions based on different eccentric loads and rotational speeds.

[0063] With the configuration of L2+L3=0.25L1, the vibration amplitude of the equipment increases with the increase of eccentric load and rotational speed, but remains at a low level overall.

[0064] When L2+L3=0.5L1, the vibration performance of the equipment is very stable under different eccentric loads and speeds. Test data shows that even under higher loads and speeds, the vibration amplitude of the equipment increases slightly, and the vibration frequency is relatively uniform.

[0065] When the ratio was further adjusted to L2+L3=0.75L1, the vibration characteristics of the equipment began to change. Under low eccentric load and medium speed conditions, the vibration amplitude remained within a relatively controllable range, showing good stability. However, with the increase of eccentric load and further increase of speed, the vibration amplitude increased, indicating that under this ratio configuration, the equipment is more sensitive to high load and high speed.

[0066] The most significant change occurs with the L2+L3=1.5L1 configuration. At this configuration, the vibration amplitude of the equipment is particularly pronounced under both low load and low speed conditions and high load and high speed conditions. Especially under high load conditions, the vibration amplitude increases sharply with the increase in speed, leading to instability in equipment operation and even potential damage to the equipment structure.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in the orthographic projection of the stabilizer bar 13 onto the projection plane, the distance between the midpoint of the first connecting segment 131 and the midpoint of the second connecting segment 132 is L1, the distance between the midpoint of the first connecting segment 131 and the adjacent endpoint of the stabilizer bar 13 is L2, and the distance between the midpoint of the second connecting segment 132 and the adjacent endpoint of the stabilizer bar 13 is L3, and satisfies: 0 < (L2 + L3) / L1 < 0.5.

[0068] By further limiting the ratio of (L2+L3) / L1 to between 0 and 0.5, the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132 are relatively more compact, thus providing better constraint on the cylinder 12 and significantly reducing cylinder swaying caused by uneven clothing distribution. Meanwhile, the extension section 133 is more dispersed on both sides compared to the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132, and through effective connection with the vibration damping rod 14, it can more effectively absorb and disperse vibration energy from the cylinder, further reducing noise and swaying during equipment operation.

[0069] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the vibration damping rod 14 is adapted to connect the cylinder 12 of the garment processing equipment 1 and the base 11. A groove 141 is formed on the vibration damping rod 14 to accommodate the extension section 133. By connecting the vibration damping rod 14 between the cylinder 12 and the base 11 of the garment processing equipment 1, the vibration damping rod 14 not only provides support but also absorbs and disperses vibration energy to reduce noise and shaking during equipment operation. By providing the groove 141 on the vibration damping rod 14 to accommodate the extension section 133 of the stabilizing rod 13, the vibration damping rod 14 can achieve a stable connection with the stabilizing rod 13, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire support structure. This also facilitates the connection and disassembly of the extension section 133 and the vibration damping rod 14, improving maintenance convenience.

[0070] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 , Figure 5 As shown, a connector 1331 is provided at the end of the extension section 133, and the connector 1331 is movably disposed in the groove section 141. By providing the connector 1331 at the end of the extension section 133 and allowing it to move within the groove section 141, not only is the flexibility between components enhanced, but precise positioning and connection are also facilitated. When the stabilizer bar 13 moves under the drive of the cylinder 12, the mobility of the connector 1331 allows the extension section 133 to adjust its position with the movement of the stabilizer bar 13, ensuring a stable connection state during dynamic processes, so that the vibration damping bar 14 can stably and effectively absorb vibrations.

[0071] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the support structure also includes a buffer 15, which is disposed between the tank body 141 and the connector 1331. By providing the buffer 15 between the tank body 141 and the connector 1331, the flexibility of the structure is further enhanced, and the vibration damping effect under vibration load is significantly improved. During equipment operation, the buffer 15 can absorb and disperse the impact force from between the tank body 141 and the connector 1331, effectively reducing vibration transmission, ensuring a smoother and more reliable connection, and improving the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0072] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 , Figure 5As shown, the connector 1331 is constructed as an annular sleeve located at the end of the extension 133. The annular sleeve is embedded within the groove portion 141, and the buffer 15 is housed within the annular sleeve. By constructing the connector 1331 as an annular sleeve, not only is the structural strength of the connector 1331 enhanced, enabling it to withstand greater forces and vibrations, but it also promotes a tight fit between the annular sleeve and the groove portion 141. Simultaneously, it simplifies the installation process of the buffer 15, ensuring accurate and efficient installation. The support structure also includes a connecting rod 16, which passes through the groove portion 141. The buffer 15 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the connecting rod 16 and passes through the annular sleeve, connecting the groove portion 141 to the annular sleeve. The buffer 15 can fully exert its shock-absorbing effect between the connecting rod 16 and the annular sleeve, effectively absorbing and dispersing vibration energy, thereby further improving the stability and durability of the overall structure, and facilitating the connection and disassembly process, improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance.

[0073] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the buffer member 15 is provided with a through hole 151 for the connector 1331 to pass through, ensuring that the connector 1331 can pass smoothly and accurately through the buffer member 15, achieving effective and reliable connection. Simultaneously, both ends of the buffer member 15 have limiting flanges 152 that abut against the end face of the annular sleeve. The limiting flanges 152 effectively prevent axial movement of the buffer member 15 during use, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection, and further enhancing the contact area between the buffer member 15 and the annular sleeve, thereby improving the overall shock absorption effect and structural durability.

[0074] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5As shown, the groove portion 141 includes a first plate 1411 and a second plate 1412. The first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412 are respectively disposed on the vibration damping rod 14 and spaced apart from each other, so that an annular sleeve can be accommodated between the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412, thereby realizing the mating connection between the annular sleeve and the groove portion 141. The first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412 are respectively arranged parallel to the extension direction of the vibration damping rod 14, allowing the annular sleeve to slide along the direction of the vibration damping rod 14 into the mounting groove 1413 between the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412 during installation, which facilitates assembly. The mounting groove 1413 for accommodating the connector 1331 is defined between the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412. The mounting groove 1413 provides precise positioning and stable support for the connector 1331, optimizing the overall assembly efficiency and reliability. The first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412 each have a slotted hole 1414 for receiving the connecting rod 16. When the connecting rod 16 passes through the slotted hole 1414 and the annular sleeve, the connecting rod 16, the annular sleeve, the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412 are connected together, which is convenient for assembly, has high connection strength, and enhances the reliability and durability of the connection between the connecting rod 16 and the groove part 141.

[0075] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the groove portion 141 also includes a third plate 1415, which is connected to the same-side edge of the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412. The third plate 1415 not only enhances the overall strength and stability of the groove portion 141, but also provides more flexibility for subsequent assembly and connection. By setting the third plate 1415, when the annular sleeve slides along the direction of the damping rod 14 to the third plate 1415 during installation, it can be supported by the third plate 1415, thereby achieving the positioning of the annular sleeve in the mounting groove 1413. This facilitates the alignment of the mounting hole on the annular sleeve with the strip hole 1414 on the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412, thus simplifying the installation process of the connecting rod 16. After the annular sleeve is accurately positioned, the connecting rod 16 can easily pass through the mounting hole of the annular sleeve and the strip hole 1414 on the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412, forming a stable and reliable connection structure.

[0076] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the vibration damping rod 14 includes an outer barrel portion 142, within which a buffer cavity is formed. The buffer cavity accommodates and guides the telescopic movement of the telescopic rod 143. One end of the outer barrel portion 142 is connected to the cylinder 12, thereby supporting and damping the cylinder 12. A groove portion 141 is provided on the outer barrel portion 142 to facilitate the connection between the outer barrel portion 142 and the stabilizing rod 13, thereby enhancing the functionality of the vibration damping rod 14.

[0077] The vibration damping rod 14 also includes a telescopic rod 143, one end of which is movably housed within a buffer cavity, allowing the telescopic rod 143 to extend and retract within the buffer cavity when subjected to external forces, thereby effectively absorbing and dispersing vibration energy. The other end of the telescopic rod 143 is connected to the base 11, enabling the vibration damping rod 14 to be effectively fixed to the base 11 and to withstand forces and vibrations from all directions.

[0078] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, a protruding connecting portion 111 is formed on the base 11, and the connecting portion 111 has a connecting groove 112 that is open away from the base 11. The other end of the telescopic rod 143 is disposed in the connecting groove 112. The connecting groove 112 not only provides a docking position for the telescopic rod 143, but also enhances the connection between the vibration damping rod 14 and the base 11.

[0079] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, a fastener 113 is provided on the base 11. The fastener passes through the connecting part 111 and fixes the other end of the telescopic rod 143 to the base 11. Specifically, the fastener 113 can pass through the connecting groove 112 formed by the connecting part 111 and extend into the other end of the telescopic rod 143 to realize the connection between the other end of the telescopic rod 143 and the connecting part 111, and the connection is firm.

[0080] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a first reinforcing rib 1421 protruding from the outer surface is formed on the outer barrel portion 142, and second reinforcing ribs 1416 are respectively arranged on the surfaces of the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412 facing away from each other to enhance the structural strength. The first reinforcing rib 1421 on the outer surface of the outer barrel portion 142 can effectively enhance the deformation resistance of the outer barrel portion 142, while the distribution of the second reinforcing ribs 1416 on the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412 further stabilizes the structure of the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412, so that it can maintain its shape stability when subjected to external forces.

[0081] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the support structure also includes vibration damping components 17, which are respectively sleeved on the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132. Vibration damping components 17 can further improve the vibration damping efficiency of the support structure, ensuring the stability of the garment processing equipment 1 during operation. By sleeved the vibration damping components 17 on the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132, the vibration energy transmitted from the cylinder 12 can be effectively absorbed and dispersed, thereby reducing the noise level during equipment operation and minimizing shaking.

[0082] The support structure also includes a fixing plate 18, which is disposed on at least a portion of the outer periphery of the vibration damper 17. The fixing plate 18 is fixed to the cylinder 12, so that the vibration damper 17 can be securely installed in the support structure. A mating portion 181 is formed on the fixing plate 18 for accommodating the vibration damper 17. The mating portion 181 fits against at least a portion of the wall surface of the vibration damper 17 to restrict the movement of the vibration damper 17, enhancing the stability of the vibration damper 17 in the support structure and enabling it to reliably perform its vibration damping function. Through the connection between the fixing plate 18 and the cylinder 12, the vibration damper 17 is constrained by the fixing plate 18 and the cylinder 12, effectively absorbing and dispersing the vibration generated by the cylinder 12 between the fixing plate 18 and the cylinder 12, reducing noise and shaking during equipment operation.

[0083] Specifically, the vibration damper 1717 can be made of an elastic material, such as rubber or silicone, giving it excellent shock absorption and cushioning performance. When the cylinder 12 vibrates during garment processing, the stabilizer 13 makes soft contact with the cylinder 12 through the vibration damper 1717. The vibration damper 1717 deforms using its material properties, converting the received vibration energy into its own internal energy, thereby significantly reducing the vibration amplitude and frequency. Simultaneously, the vibration damper 1717 is tightly embedded in the limiting groove 121, ensuring a close fit between it and the stabilizer 13 and the cylinder 12, further enhancing the vibration damping effect and improving the overall stability and durability of the equipment.

[0084] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the mating part 181 is constructed as a through hole penetrating the fixed plate 18, and at least a portion of the vibration damper 17 passes through the through hole, allowing the vibration damper 17 to be embedded in the support structure and form a tight connection with the fixed plate 18 through the through hole. After the vibration damper 17 partially passes through the through hole, not only is its stability enhanced, but it can also more efficiently absorb and disperse the vibration energy from the cylinder 12. The positioning and constraint of the vibration damper 17 through the through hole effectively reduces the shaking phenomenon during equipment operation.

[0085] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the mating part 181 is constructed as a groove provided inside the fixing plate 18, and at least a portion of the vibration damper 17 is embedded in the groove. After at least a portion of the vibration damper 17 is embedded in the groove, not only is its secure installation in the support structure achieved, but its efficiency in absorbing and dispersing the vibration energy of the cylinder 12 is also significantly improved. Through the fitting and constraint of the groove on the vibration damper 17, the vibration amplitude during equipment operation is effectively reduced.

[0086] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the damping member 17 and the mating part 181 abut against each other in the extension direction of the stabilizer bar 13, so that the damping member 17 is constrained by the mating part 181 in the extension direction of the stabilizer bar 13, effectively preventing relative movement between the two in the extension direction of the stabilizer bar 13. Through the close contact between the damping member 17 and the mating part 181 in the extension direction of the stabilizer bar 13, the overall stability of the support structure is further improved, providing a more reliable vibration damping effect for the equipment.

[0087] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the outer surface of the vibration damper 17 has a radially protruding limiting section 171. The limiting section 171 is embedded in the through hole or groove, and the axial end face of the limiting section 171 abuts against the through hole or groove. This effectively constrains the vibration damper 17 in the axial direction through its limiting flange, thus effectively preventing the vibration damper 17 from moving in the axial direction. The tight axial fit between the limiting flange and the through hole or groove further enhances the overall stability of the support structure, providing more reliable vibration damping performance for the equipment.

[0088] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the fixing plate 18 includes a first support 182 and a second support 183. The first support 182 and the second support 183 are respectively connected to the cylinder 12 of the clothing processing equipment 1, thereby realizing the connection between the fixing plate 18 and the cylinder 12, so that the fixing plate 18 and the cylinder 12 cooperate to fix the vibration damping member 17.

[0089] The fixing plate 18 also includes a connecting plate 184, whose two ends are connected to the first support leg 182 and the second support leg 183, respectively, to form a support frame. The connecting plate 184 is arc-shaped and surrounds part of the outer periphery of the damper 17, and a mating part 181 is formed on the connecting plate 184. By constructing the connecting plate 184 as arc-shaped, the connecting plate 184 can partially surround and fit the outer periphery of the damper 17, thereby providing tighter support and further enhancing the connection strength between the fixing plate 18 and the damper 17.

[0090] Through the coordinated action of the first support leg 182, the second support leg 183, and the connecting plate 184, the fixing plate 18 not only provides a stable support foundation for the vibration damper 17, but also ensures a close fit between it and the cylinder 12. This allows the vibration damper 17 to more effectively absorb and disperse the vibration energy from the cylinder 12, thereby significantly reducing the noise level and shaking phenomenon during equipment operation, and providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the garment processing equipment 1.

[0091] It should be noted that the connection between the first leg 182 and the second leg 183 and the cylinder 12 of the garment processing device 1 can take various forms. For example, they can be directly fixed by bolts or screws, wherein the first leg 182 and the second leg 183 are provided with through holes or threaded holes corresponding to the reserved holes on the cylinder 12, and a tight connection can be achieved by tightening the bolts or screws; or welding or riveting techniques can be used to directly fuse or rivet the first leg 182 and the second leg 183 to the metal material of the cylinder 12 to form an integrated structure.

[0092] A through hole is formed on the connecting plate 184, and the two axial edges of the through hole abut against the vibration damper 17. By providing the through hole, the vibration damper 17 is effectively constrained and positioned in the axial direction. The direct contact between the connecting plate 184 and the vibration damper 17 through its two axial edges further enhances the fixing effect of the connecting plate 184 on the vibration damper 17, which not only improves the stability of the vibration damper 17 during installation, but also optimizes its performance during operation.

[0093] The following is for reference. Figures 1-6 Description of the garment processing device 1 according to the present invention.

[0094] like Figures 1-3 , Figure 6 As shown, the garment processing device 1 according to this utility model includes a base 11 and a cylindrical body 12. The cylindrical body 12 is disposed on the base 11 and a garment processing cavity is formed inside the cylindrical body 12. The cylindrical body 12 can hold garments through the garment processing cavity to perform garment processing tasks. The base 11 is responsible for bearing the weight of the cylindrical body 12 and placing it stably on the ground.

[0095] The garment processing equipment 1 also includes a support structure, which is constructed as described in any of the above embodiments. The first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132 of the stabilizing rod 13 of the support structure are connected to the cylinder 12, and the extension section 133 of the stabilizing rod 13 is connected to the vibration damping rod 14. This increases the rigidity of the support structure and reduces its swaying caused by uneven garment distribution. One end of the vibration damping rod 14 is connected to the base 11, and the other end of the vibration damping rod 14 is connected to the cylinder 12, so that the vibration damping rod 14 can effectively absorb and buffer vibrations between the base 11 and the cylinder 12, making the garment processing equipment 1 operate more smoothly and reducing noise.

[0096] Since the garment processing device 1 according to the present invention includes the support structure in any of the above embodiments, the garment processing device 1 according to the present invention has higher overall stability and vibration reduction performance. The garment processing device 1 operates more smoothly, significantly reducing noise and shaking, thereby improving the overall performance of the device and the user experience.

[0097] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cylinder 12 is provided with a limiting groove 121 for accommodating the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132. The first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132 are constrained and limited by the limiting groove 121 within it. By setting the limiting groove 121, not only is the effective connection between the stabilizing rod 13 and the cylinder 12 achieved, but the accuracy and stability of the connection position are also ensured. This allows the stabilizing rod 13 to better constrain the movement of the cylinder 12, reducing the shaking caused by uneven distribution of clothing and achieving stable operation of the clothing processing equipment 1.

[0098] The bottom outer peripheral wall of the cylinder 12 has a protruding boss 122. The presence of the boss 122 not only enhances the overall structural strength of the cylinder 12, making it more robust and durable when subjected to various forces and pressures generated during operation, but also, by changing the shape of the cylinder 12, makes its outer surface more regular and flat, which is conducive to the formation of the limiting groove 121 and provides convenience for the subsequent assembly and positioning of the stabilizer bar 13. The limiting groove 121 is formed on the boss 122. The limiting groove 121 extends through the boss 122 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the cylinder 12, allowing the stabilizer bar 13 to pass through the limiting groove 121 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the cylinder 12. The first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132 are set in the limiting groove 121. This not only provides positioning and guidance for the installation of the stabilizer bar 13, but also ensures the stability and firmness after connection, thereby improving the stability and safety of the garment processing equipment 1 during operation.

[0099] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, a protruding step 1211 is formed within the limiting groove 121. The step 1211 is adapted to abut against the vibration damper 17 in the axial direction to limit the movement of the vibration damper 17. Through the axial abutment between the step 1211 and the vibration damper 17, the axial movement of the vibration damper 17 is effectively limited, ensuring it is securely housed within the limiting groove 121, thus guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the vibration damper 17 during equipment operation. The shape and size of the step 1211 ensure a tight and reliable fit with the vibration damper 17, not only improving the stability of the connection between the vibration damper 17 and the cylinder 12, but also further enhancing the smoothness and durability of the entire garment processing equipment 1 during operation.
