[0042] The clothing processing equipment in this application embodiment can be a washing machine, dryer, washer-dryer combo, etc.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The clothing processing device 100 provided in this application embodiment includes a housing 10, a barrel assembly 20, a drive component (not shown in the figure), a suspension spring 40, and a shock absorption assembly 50.

[0044] The tub assembly 20, drive unit, suspension spring 40, and shock-absorbing assembly 50 are all housed inside the housing 10. The two ends of the suspension spring 40 are connected to the inner wall of the housing 10 and the tub assembly 20, respectively. The shock-absorbing assembly 50 is connected to the bottom of the tub assembly 20 to balance the vibrations generated during operation of the laundry processing equipment 100. The drive unit drives the inner tub within the tub assembly 20 to rotate, thereby washing the clothes inside. The drive unit is preferably a DD motor, which offers stronger overall performance and improved washing results compared to traditional belt drives.

[0045] The bucket assembly 20 includes a front bucket component 21 and a rear bucket component 22, in the first direction (i.e., Figure 2 In the coordinate system shown (Y-axis direction), the front bucket component 21 and the rear bucket component 22 are connected and form at least two buckets, with the first direction being the axial direction of the buckets. At the connection point between the front bucket component 21 and the rear bucket component 22, a first mounting component 211 and a second mounting component 221 protruding from the outer wall of the bucket and matching each other are respectively provided.

[0046] The garment processing equipment 100 also includes a connector 30, which is connected to the inner wall of the housing 10 and located between the outer wall of the tub and the inner wall of the housing 10. One end of the suspension spring 40 is connected to the inner wall of the tub, and the other end is connected to the connector 30.

[0047] The connector 30 is provided with a clearance part 31, which is used to avoid the first mounting part 211 and the second mounting part 221.

[0048] The first mounting component 211 and the second mounting component 221 protrude from the outer wall of the tub, facilitating installation and ensuring connection and sealing. However, the protruding portion from the outer wall of the tub increases the space occupied. The avoidance part 31 provided on the connector 30 can reduce the overall space occupied by the clothing processing equipment 100 and improve the structural compactness.

[0049] A connector 30 is provided between the outer wall of the barrel and the inner wall of the box 10, which can improve the overall structural strength of the box 10 on the one hand, and improve the ease of installation of the suspension spring 40 on the other hand.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the front bucket 21 and the rear bucket 22 constitute two buckets. The two buckets can be distributed horizontally or vertically. The inner buckets of the two buckets can have the same volume or different volumes.

[0052] The first tub 2a and the second tub 2b are located to the upper left and upper right of the third tub 2c, respectively. The inner diameter of the second tub 2b and the first tub 2a is smaller than the inner diameter of the third tub 2c. The structural arrangement of the three tubs can not only meet the user's washing needs for different types of clothes, but also ensure that the overall space occupied by the clothes processing equipment 100 is minimized.

[0053] The front bucket assembly 21 includes a first front bucket 212, a second front bucket 213, and a third front bucket 214. The rear bucket assembly 22 includes a first rear bucket 222, a second rear bucket 223, and a third rear bucket 224. The first front bucket 212 and the first rear bucket 222 are connected to form the first bucket body 2a. The second front bucket 213 and the second rear bucket 223 are connected to form the second bucket body 2b. The third front bucket 214 and the third rear bucket 224 are connected to form the third bucket body 2c.

[0054] The first front tub 212, the second front tub 213, and the third front tub 214 are integrally formed; the first rear tub 222, the second rear tub 223, and the third rear tub 224 are integrally formed. The first front tub 212, the second front tub 213, and the third front tub 214 are integrally formed by injection molding, and the first rear tub 222, the second rear tub 223, and the third rear tub 224 are integrally formed by injection molding, in order to improve the overall structural strength of the tub assembly 20 and reduce the assembly process of the garment processing equipment 100.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the connector 30 is provided with a first connecting portion 32 and a second connecting portion 33. The first connecting portion 32 is connected to the inner wall of the oppositely arranged side plate of the housing 10, and the inner wall of the side plate of the housing 10 corresponds to the outer wall of the first barrel 2a and the outer wall of the second barrel 2b, respectively. The second connecting portion 33 is connected to the side of the first connecting portion 32 near the barrel axis, and a clearance portion 31 is provided on the second connecting portion 33.

[0056] The second connecting part 33 is connected to the side of the first connecting part 32 near the axis of the barrel. It can be understood that there is a certain distance between the second connecting part 33 and the inner wall of the side plate of the box 10, so as to facilitate the installation of the suspension spring 40.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, the second connecting portion 33 is provided with a mounting portion 332, and one end of the suspension spring 40 is connected to the mounting portion 332. The mounting portion 332 has a mounting hole 3321, and one end of the suspension spring 40 is installed in the mounting hole 3321.
