Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] With the development of technology, the types of garment processing equipment are becoming more diversified, mainly including pulsator-type garment processing equipment and drum-type garment processing equipment. Currently, drum-type garment processing equipment mainly relies on the repeated lifting and tumbling of clothes inside the drum during washing or drying to achieve the effect of cleaning or drying clothes.
[0003] When a garment drum rotates, it often vibrates violently due to uneven distribution of clothing inside. To reduce vibration and noise during drum rotation, counterweights are typically installed on the outer drum of the garment processing equipment. The common installation method involves setting a mounting base on the outer drum, drilling mounting holes in the counterweight, and then passing mounting bolts through these holes to connect to the mounting base, thus securing the counterweight to the outer drum. However, after prolonged use, the mounting bolts are prone to loosening or breakage, leading to counterweight failure and affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0039] With the improvement of people's living standards, clothing processing equipment has become an indispensable household appliance in modern families. Clothing processing equipment refers to devices used for washing or drying clothes and removing stains and wrinkles. These typically include washing machines, washer-dryer combos, and dryers. Among them, washing machines are the most popular because they can perform multiple clothing processing methods such as washing, rinsing, and spin-drying, maximizing convenience and freeing up users' hands. The following description uses a washing machine as an example to illustrate this embodiment; however, the technical solution of this application is not limited to this. For example, it can also be applied to clothing processing equipment such as dryers. Such changes in application do not deviate from the principles and scope of this application.
[0040] This application provides a garment processing device, which includes an outer cylinder assembly 1000, a roller (not shown in the figure), and a housing (not shown in the figure). The housing forms the outer shell of the garment processing device, that is, the shell and support structure of the garment processing device. It is usually cuboid or cubic in shape and made of metal or high-strength plastic. It can provide support and protection for its internal structure, and can also effectively resist external physical impacts and environmental corrosion, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the garment processing device.
[0041] The drum, or garment handling drum of a garment processing device, is housed within the casing and has a garment handling chamber for holding the clothes to be processed. It is a key operating component responsible for washing, rinsing, and spin-drying. The drum is a hollow cylinder, typically made of stainless steel, which tumbles the clothes inside during the washing and spin-drying stages to rinse and dehydrate them. Understandably, the front of the drum has a garment loading / unloading port that communicates with the garment handling chamber, allowing users to add or remove clothes. Additionally, the front of the casing has an opening communicating with the garment handling chamber, and the garment processing device also includes a door that can be opened and closed to expose or cover the garment loading / unloading port.
[0042] The outer drum assembly 1000 is fixedly installed inside the housing, and the drum is rotatably installed inside the outer drum assembly 1000. The outer drum assembly 1000 is typically connected to the water inlet and drainage systems of the garment processing equipment, used to store water needed for washing and rinsing, and capable of filling and draining water into the drum. The outer drum assembly 1000 is a hollow cylinder, typically made of plastic or stainless steel. Understandably, the front side of the outer drum assembly 1000 has an opening 115, which communicates with an opening on the housing and a garment loading / unloading port on the drum, facilitating the user's loading and unloading of garments.
[0043] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-3 In some embodiments, the outer cylinder assembly 1000 includes an outer cylinder 100 and a counterweight 200.
[0044] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the outer cylinder 100 includes a front outer cylinder 110 and a rear outer cylinder 120. The front outer cylinder 110 has an opening 115, and the rear outer cylinder 120 is located on the side of the front outer cylinder 110 away from the opening 115 and connected to the front outer cylinder 110. The side of the rear outer cylinder 120 away from the front outer cylinder 110 has a cylinder wall 125. The front outer cylinder 110 and the rear outer cylinder 120 are arranged separately, which can reduce the complexity of the production mold and improve production efficiency. It can also reduce the difficulty and cost of maintenance by repairing only the faulty half of the outer cylinder (front outer cylinder 110 or rear outer cylinder 120) when the outer cylinder 100 fails.
[0045] The counterweight 200 is usually installed on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 100. It is used to suppress the vibration and noise during the operation of the drum, reduce the vibration generated by the garment processing equipment, and prevent other parts of the garment processing equipment from being damaged by vibration.
[0046] In this embodiment, the outer cylinder assembly 1000 includes an outer cylinder 100 and a counterweight 200. The outer cylinder 100 includes a front outer cylinder 110 and a rear outer cylinder 120 connected to each other, and the counterweight 200 is disposed within a counterweight cavity. The counterweight cavity can be disposed on the front outer cylinder 110, the rear outer cylinder 120, or both the front and rear outer cylinders 110 and 120 can be constructed together. The opening of the counterweight cavity is opened along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 100. After the front and rear outer cylinders 110 and 120 are connected, the opening of the counterweight cavity is covered by the front and rear outer cylinders 110 and 120.
[0047] With the above configuration, by setting up the interconnected front outer cylinder 110 and rear outer cylinder 120, and constructing a counterweight cavity after the front outer cylinder 110 and rear outer cylinder 120 are connected, the counterweight 200 is placed in the counterweight cavity, eliminating the original mounting base, mounting bolts and other structures. On the one hand, it can effectively solve the problem of counterweight failure caused by loose or broken mounting bolts; on the other hand, it reduces the number of parts and has advantages such as reducing production costs, reducing installation steps and improving assembly efficiency.
[0048] Specifically, in some embodiments, see [reference] Figures 1-3 The front outer cylinder 110 includes a front outer cylinder body 111 and a front counterweight box 112, with the front counterweight box 112 located at the rear end of the front outer cylinder body 111 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 On the outer wall surface of the left end of the outer cylinder. The front counterweight box 112 is provided with a front counterweight cavity 1121 with an opening, and the opening of the front counterweight cavity 1121 is rearward along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 100 (i.e., towards the rear of the outer cylinder 120, such as...). Figure 3 The rear outer cylinder 120 includes a rear outer cylinder body 121 and a rear counterweight box 122, with the rear counterweight box 122 located at the front end of the rear outer cylinder body 121 (e.g., on the left side). Figure 2 On the outer wall surface of the right end of the outer cylinder 100, and projected along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 100, the position of the rear counterweight box 122 corresponds one-to-one with the position of the front counterweight box 112. The rear counterweight box 122 has an open rear counterweight cavity 1221, and the opening of the rear counterweight cavity 1221 faces forward along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 100 (i.e., towards the front of the outer cylinder 110, such as...). Figure 3 (Open on the right side of the middle).
[0049] Furthermore, after the front outer cylinder 110 and the rear outer cylinder 120 are connected, the front outer cylinder body 111 and the rear outer cylinder body 121 are mated together. Each front counterweight box 112 is matched and mated with its corresponding rear counterweight box 122, so that the opening of the front counterweight cavity 1121 is connected to the opening of the rear counterweight cavity 1221, thereby connecting the front counterweight cavity 1121 and the rear counterweight cavity 1221 and jointly constructing a counterweight cavity. The counterweight 200 is disposed in the counterweight cavity formed by the front counterweight cavity 1121 and the rear counterweight cavity 1221.
[0050] In other embodiments, the front outer cylinder 110 includes a front outer cylinder body 111 and a front counterweight box 112. The front counterweight box 112 is disposed on the outer wall surface of the rear end of the front outer cylinder body 111, and the front counterweight box 112 has a front counterweight cavity 1121 with an opening, and the opening of the front counterweight cavity 1121 is rearward. The rear outer cylinder 120 includes a rear outer cylinder body 121 and a rear obstruction member. The rear obstruction member is disposed on the outer wall surface of the front end of the rear outer cylinder body 121 and is projected along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 100. The position of the rear obstruction member corresponds to the position of the front counterweight box 112.
[0051] Furthermore, after the front outer cylinder 110 and the rear outer cylinder 120 are connected, the front outer cylinder body 111 and the rear outer cylinder body 121 are mated together, and each front counterweight box 112 is matched and covered by its corresponding rear cover, so that the rear cover can cover the opening of the counterweight cavity. The counterweight 200 is disposed in the counterweight cavity formed by the front counterweight box 112 and the rear cover.
[0052] In some embodiments, the rear outer cylinder body 121 includes a rear outer cylinder body 121 and a rear counterweight box 122. The rear counterweight box 122 is disposed on the outer wall surface of the front end of the rear outer cylinder body 121. The rear counterweight box 122 has a rear counterweight cavity 1221 with an opening, and the opening of the rear counterweight cavity 1221 faces forward. The front outer cylinder 110 includes a front outer cylinder body 111 and a front blocking member. The front blocking member is disposed on the outer wall surface of the rear end of the front outer cylinder body 111 and is projected along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 100. The position of the front blocking member corresponds to the position of the rear counterweight box 122.
[0053] Furthermore, after the front outer cylinder 110 and the rear outer cylinder 120 are connected, the front outer cylinder body 111 and the rear outer cylinder body 121 are mated together, and each rear counterweight box 122 is matched and covered by its corresponding front blocking member, so that the front blocking member can cover the opening of the counterweight cavity. The counterweight 200 is disposed in the counterweight cavity formed by the rear counterweight box 122 and the front blocking member.
[0054] In some embodiments, the front outer tube 110 is a one-piece component. That is, the front outer tube body 111 and the front counterweight box 112 are one-piece components, meaning the front outer tube body 111 and the front counterweight box 112 are integrally formed. This configuration ensures a secure connection between the front outer tube body 111 and the front counterweight box 112, preventing breakage, and also prevents noise generated by vibration between the front outer tube body 111 and the front counterweight box 112, further reducing the operating noise of the garment processing equipment. Specifically, when the front outer tube 110 is made of a plastic material such as polypropylene (PP), the front outer tube body 111 and the front counterweight box 112 can be manufactured using methods such as one-piece injection molding; when the front outer tube 110 is made of a metal material such as stainless steel, the front outer tube body 111 and the front counterweight box 112 can be manufactured using methods such as die casting.
[0055] It is understood that in some embodiments, the front outer cylinder body 111 and the front shield can also be an integral component, that is, the front outer cylinder body 111 and the front shield are integrally formed.
[0056] In some embodiments, the rear outer tube 120 is a one-piece component. That is, the rear outer tube body 121 and the rear counterweight box 122 are one-piece components, meaning the rear outer tube body 121 and the rear counterweight box 122 are integrally formed. This configuration ensures a secure connection between the rear outer tube body 121 and the rear counterweight box 122, preventing breakage, and also prevents noise generated by vibration between the rear outer tube body 121 and the rear counterweight box 122, further reducing the operating noise of the garment processing equipment. When the rear outer tube 120 is made of a plastic material such as polypropylene (PP), the rear outer tube body 121 and the rear counterweight box 122 can be manufactured using methods such as one-piece injection molding; when the rear outer tube 120 is made of a metal material such as stainless steel, the rear outer tube body 121 and the rear counterweight box 122 can be manufactured using methods such as die casting.
[0057] It is understood that in some embodiments, the rear outer cylinder body 121 and the rear shield can also be an integral component, that is, the rear outer cylinder body 121 and the rear shield are integrally formed.
[0058] In some embodiments, the counterweight 200 is an arc-shaped structure that matches the shape of the front outer cylinder body 111 and the rear outer cylinder body 121, so that the counterweight 200 fits against the outer wall surface of the front outer cylinder body 111 and the rear outer cylinder body 121 respectively, avoiding the counterweight 200 from colliding with the outer cylinder 100 and generating noise, and further reducing the vibration and noise when the drum rotates.
[0059] See Figure 1 Several front counterweight boxes 112 are circumferentially spaced on the outer wall of the front outer cylinder 110, and several rear counterweight boxes 122 are circumferentially spaced on the outer wall of the rear outer cylinder 120. Similarly, several counterweights 200 are circumferentially spaced on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 100. Through this arrangement, the counterweights 200 can suppress vibrations in different directions of the outer cylinder 100, and the multiple counterweights 200 together maintain overall balance, improving the stability of the garment processing equipment during operation and enhancing its durability.
[0060] It should be noted that the number of counterweights 200 in this application is not fixed, and those skilled in the art can adjust it flexibly according to the actual product situation. For example, one counterweight 200 can be set on each of the left and right sides of the outer cylinder 100, and the two counterweights 200 are arranged symmetrically.
[0061] In this embodiment, the length of the front counterweight cavity 1121 is shorter than the length of the rear counterweight cavity 1221 along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 100. Understandably, the rear counterweight box 122 can extend along the axial direction of the rear outer cylinder body 121, and the length of the rear counterweight cavity 1221 can be flexibly adjusted. That is, the length of the counterweight 200 can be flexibly set according to the length of the counterweight cavity. With the above arrangement, on the one hand, those skilled in the art can select and set counterweights 200 of different lengths according to actual product needs to meet the usage requirements of different garment processing equipment; on the other hand, when the length of the counterweight 200 is longer, the counterweight 200 can cover a wider area, more evenly offsetting the centrifugal force differences caused by uneven clothing within the drum, avoiding local imbalance, and improving the stability of the equipment during operation.
[0062] In some embodiments, the counterweight 200 is an arc-shaped structure that matches the shape of the front outer cylinder body 111 and the rear outer cylinder body 121, so that the counterweight 200 fits against the outer wall surface of the front outer cylinder body 111 and the rear outer cylinder body 121, avoiding the counterweight 200 from colliding with the outer wall surface of the outer cylinder 100 and generating noise, and further reducing the vibration and noise when the drum rotates.
[0063] In some embodiments, the counterweight 200 is a cement block, that is, the counterweight 200 is made of concrete mixed with materials such as cement and sand. Cement counterweights have advantages such as low cost and easy molding, but they are prone to crushing and cracking in humid environments.
[0064] In an alternative implementation, the counterweight 200 can also be a cast iron block, meaning the counterweight 200 is made of cast iron. Cast iron counterweights have advantages such as high durability and resistance to damage, but they are more expensive, heavier, and more difficult to install. Alternatively, the counterweight 200 can also be a lead block, meaning the counterweight 200 is made of lead. Lead counterweights have advantages such as high plasticity and durability, but they are more expensive.
[0065] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can flexibly select appropriate types of counterweights 200 for assembly based on actual product requirements to meet different usage needs.
[0066] See Figure 3In this embodiment, the rear end of the front outer cylinder body 111 is provided with a plug-in portion 113, which surrounds the outer peripheral surface of the front outer cylinder body 111, and the outer wall surface of the plug-in portion 113 is provided with an abutment portion 1131. The front end of the rear outer cylinder body 121 is provided with a groove 123, which surrounds the outer peripheral surface of the rear outer cylinder body 121. After the front outer cylinder 110 and the rear outer cylinder 120 are connected, the plug-in portion 113 can be inserted into the groove 123, and the abutment portion 1131 abuts against the front end surface of the rear outer cylinder body 121. Through the above arrangement, the connection sealing between the front outer cylinder body 111 and the rear outer cylinder body 121 is improved, and water leakage from the outer cylinder 100 is prevented.
[0067] Furthermore, the front counterweight cavity 1121 is located on the side of the insertion part 113 away from the center of the outer cylinder, and the rear counterweight cavity 1221 is located on the side of the groove 123 away from the center of the outer cylinder, which can prevent water in the outer cylinder 100 from entering the counterweight cavity and avoid damage to the counterweight 200.
[0068] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the rear end of the front outer cylinder body 111 is provided with a groove 123, which surrounds the outer peripheral surface of the front outer cylinder body 111. The front end of the rear outer cylinder body 121 is provided with an insertion part 113, which surrounds the outer peripheral surface of the rear outer cylinder body 121, and the outer wall surface of the insertion part 113 is provided with an abutment part 1131. After the front outer cylinder 110 and the rear outer cylinder 120 are connected, the insertion part 113 can be inserted into the groove 123, and the abutment part 1131 abuts against the rear end face of the front outer cylinder body 111. Through the above arrangement, the connection sealing between the front outer cylinder body 111 and the rear outer cylinder body 121 is improved, and water leakage from the outer cylinder 100 is prevented.
[0069] Furthermore, the front counterweight cavity 1121 is located on the side of the groove 123 away from the center of the outer cylinder, and the rear counterweight cavity 1221 is located on the side of the insertion part 113 away from the center of the outer cylinder, which can prevent water in the outer cylinder 100 from entering the counterweight cavity and avoid damage to the counterweight 200.
[0070] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, the rear end of the front outer cylinder body 111 is provided with a front connecting lug 114, and the front connecting lug 114 has a front connecting hole 1141. The front end of the rear outer cylinder body 121 is provided with a rear connecting lug 124, and the rear connecting lug 124 has a rear connecting hole 1241. The outer cylinder assembly 1000 also includes a screw connector, which passes through the front connecting hole 1141 and the rear connecting hole 1241 and is fastened to a nut, thereby fixing the front connecting lug 114 and the rear connecting lug 124 together, and connecting the front outer cylinder body 111 and the rear outer cylinder body 121. The screw connector 1 includes, but is not limited to, bolts, studs, etc.
[0071] In other embodiments, the front connecting ear 114 and the rear connecting ear 124 can also be fixedly connected by riveting, thereby connecting the front outer cylinder body 111 and the rear outer cylinder body 121.
[0072] In some implementations, the garment processing equipment can be a desktop garment processing device. This design is compact and can be placed on a desktop, cabinet, or corner without requiring modifications to plumbing or electrical wiring. It can also be designed for small items such as underwear, socks, and baby clothes, avoiding hygiene issues associated with washing them together with outerwear.
[0073] In some implementations, the clothing handling device can be a miniature clothing handling device. This design is suitable for scenarios such as travel and camping, and can be powered by vehicle power supplies or outdoor portable power sources to meet emergency travel needs.
