Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing processing technology, and in particular to a clothing processing device and a combined clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing handling devices can generally be categorized by type into washing machines, dryers, or dry cleaning combos. Structurally, they can be divided into top-loading washing machines and front-loading washing machines.

[0003] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, laundry detergents have become indispensable household appliances. In home use, users have different needs for washing different types of clothing. For example, when washing large items such as duvet covers and outerwear, a large washing machine is needed. However, when washing items such as underwear, baby clothes, or socks, or washing small amounts of clothing, using a large laundry detergent may result in unnecessary water waste. Therefore, miniaturized laundry detergents have emerged on the market. These miniaturized detergents have a smaller capacity and can typically wash clothes weighing less than 3kg or 4kg.

[0004] However, when putting clothes into the drum of this miniaturized clothing handling device, the size of the drum opening may not be convenient for users to put the clothes into the drum, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application discloses a clothing processing device and a combined clothing processing equipment, which improves the convenience for users to put clothes into the cylinder of the clothing processing device and enhances the user experience of using the clothing processing device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, this application discloses a garment processing device, comprising: a first housing; two doors, each rotatably connected to the first housing; two first rollers, arranged side-by-side in the first housing along a horizontal direction; each first roller having: a receiving cavity configured to receive garments; a tube opening communicating with the receiving cavity, the doors being configured to close or open the tube opening; the diameter of the tube opening being d1, the diameter of the receiving cavity being d3, and d1 and d3 satisfying: 1.2 < d3 / d1 < 1.7.

[0007] In this miniaturized twin-tube garment handling device, the width dimension is fixed. When the twin tubes are arranged side-by-side horizontally within the first housing, the space within the first housing in the width direction is relatively limited. However, sufficient space must be left for the effective movement of the first rollers during operation. Within this compact space, the diameter design of the receiving cavities of the two first rollers is limited, resulting in a relatively limited space for accommodating garments. Furthermore, the diameter of the opening of the first roller is also relatively small. Therefore, this application sets the ratio of the diameter d3 of the receiving cavity to the diameter d1 of the opening within 1.2-1.7. On the one hand, within this limited design space, the diameters of the receiving cavity and the opening are considered, ensuring that the diameter of the opening facilitates the insertion of garments from the opening into the receiving cavity, which is beneficial for users to insert garments into the receiving cavity. On the other hand, generally speaking, along the height direction of the first housing, the edge of the lower opening is usually higher than the lower inner wall of the receiving cavity to effectively hold the garments inside. When the ratio of the diameter d3 of the receiving cavity to the diameter d1 of the tube opening is within 1.2-1.7, the edge of the tube opening located below protrudes more than the inner wall surface of the lower side of the receiving cavity. After the clothes are put into the receiving cavity, it can effectively alleviate the problem of the clothes overlapping the edge of the tube opening and prevent the clothes from getting caught when the door closes the tube opening.

[0008] If the ratio of the diameter of the receiving cavity to the diameter of the tube opening is too large, i.e., d3 / d1 > 1.7, the size of the tube opening is relatively small, which may affect the user's ability to put clothes into or take clothes out of the receiving cavity.

[0009] If the ratio of the diameter of the receiving cavity to the diameter of the tube opening is too small, i.e., d3 / d1 < 1.2, the size of the tube opening is relatively large. This may cause the edge of the tube opening located at the bottom to be closer to the inner wall of the lower side of the receiving cavity, which may cause the clothes to easily overlap the edge of the tube opening, resulting in fabric jamming.

[0010] Secondly, this application also discloses a clothing processing device, comprising: a first housing; two doors, each rotatably connected to the first housing; two first rollers, arranged side-by-side in the first housing along a horizontal direction; each first roller having: a receiving cavity configured to receive clothing; a tube opening communicating with the receiving cavity, the doors being configured to close or open the tube opening; the diameter of the tube opening being d1; and the dimension of the door along the height direction of the first housing being d2, satisfying: 2.1 < d2 / d1 < 2.4.

[0011] In some embodiments of the garment handling apparatus of this application, when water overflows from the first roller, the water first overflows through the seal between the edge of the roller opening and the edge of the door, then spreads through the door, and finally overflows from the seal between the edge of the front opening and the edge of the door. That is, the larger the door, the longer the path the water must travel to overflow. To address this, this application controls the size ratio of the door to the roller opening to be between 2.1 and 2.4, increasing the distance between the edge of the door and the edge of the roller opening. This way, water overflowing from the edge of the roller opening must flow through a larger area of ​​the door before overflowing. In other words, this improves the overflow prevention effect of the garment handling apparatus. Simultaneously, the larger space between the edge of the door and the edge of the roller opening facilitates the addition of waterproof materials or waterproof structures to further enhance the waterproof sealing effect.

[0012] On the one hand, when the ratio of d2 / d1 is too small, i.e., d2 / d1 is less than 2.1, it means that the distance between the edge of the cylinder opening 31 and the edge of the door body is small. This may result in a shorter path for water overflow, affecting the waterproof sealing effect and making waterproof design difficult. On the other hand, when the ratio of d2 / d1 is too large, i.e., d2 / d1 is greater than 2.4, it means that the distance between the edge of the cylinder opening and the edge of the door body is large, increasing the difficulty of waterproofing the cylinder opening from the door body, which is not conducive to waterproof design.

[0013] In some possible implementations, such as the garment handling apparatus disclosed in the first or second aspect, the first roller includes: a first end having the opening; a second end, the second end and the first end being the two ends of the first roller along the depth direction of the first housing; the first roller is inclined relative to the depth direction of the first housing such that the first end is higher than the second end in the height direction of the first housing.

[0014] For the garment handling device, in its working state, in order to prevent water in the first roller from overflowing from the opening, from the height direction, the first end of the first roller is higher than the second end of the first roller. That is, when the axis of the first roller is kept inclined in the depth direction, the first roller can better hold the water to prevent water from overflowing from the opening.

[0015] In some possible implementations, the angle between the axis of the first roller and the depth direction of the first housing is α, satisfying: 2° < α < 6°.

[0016] Furthermore, considering that the tilt angle of the first roller may affect its placement within the first tank, for example, if the tilt angle is too small (α < 2°), it may be insufficient to hold water. Conversely, if the tilt angle is too large (α > 6°), it may occupy too much vertical space within the first tank, hindering the installation of other functional components. In other words, maintaining the tilt angle of the first roller's axis between 2° and 6° reduces the probability of water overflowing from the first roller while preventing it from occupying excessive space within the first tank.

[0017] In some possible implementations, such as the garment handling apparatus disclosed in the first or second aspect, the height H1 of the first housing satisfies: 455mm < H1 < 485mm, and 0.34 < d1 / H1 < 0.36.

[0018] The height of the first housing in this application is set in the range of 455mm-485mm, that is, the relative height of the clothing processing device of this application is relatively small, so as to avoid its excessive size in the height direction. In this way, the clothing processing device can be placed on the placement table, and users can avoid bending over when using the clothing processing device, thus improving the convenience of use.

[0019] On the one hand, when H1 is large, i.e., H1 > 485mm, it indicates that the height of the first box is too large. For example, when the first box is placed on a platform or other flat surface, it may occupy a lot of indoor space. On the other hand, when H1 is small, i.e., H1 < 455mm, it indicates that the height of the first box is too small, and there is less space in the height direction inside the first box, which is not conducive to setting up structures above or below the first roller.

[0020] On the other hand, when d1 / H1 < 0.34, it means that the diameter of the tube opening is relatively small compared to the height of the first box. If the diameter of the tube opening 31 is too small, it may be inconvenient for the user to put clothes into the receiving cavity 32. When d1 / H1 > 0.36, it means that the diameter of the tube opening is relatively large compared to the height of the first box. If the diameter of the tube opening is too large, it is not conducive to setting waterproof materials or waterproof structures at the tube opening.

[0021] In other words, this application controls the ratio of the diameter d1 of the tube opening to the height H1 of the first box body to 0.34-0.36, which is beneficial for users to put clothes in while also facilitating the waterproof design of the tube opening.

[0022] In some possible implementations, such as the garment handling apparatus disclosed in the first or second aspect, two first rollers are spaced apart along the width direction of the first housing, wherein the distance D between the axis of one first roller and the axis of the other first roller satisfies: 275mm < D < 307mm.

[0023] When two first rollers are arranged inside the first housing, they are spaced apart in the width direction. Considering that the two first rollers may vibrate in the width direction during operation, this application controls the spacing between the two first rollers in the width direction. First, it avoids the problem of motion interference between the two first rollers due to an excessively small spacing between them during operation. Second, it avoids the situation where the spacing between the two first rollers is too large, resulting in excessive occupation of the space in the width direction inside the first housing and affecting the overall volume of the first housing.

[0024] When the distance D is less than 35mm, the two first rollers may interfere with each other when moving in the width direction due to their close proximity, affecting the safe operation of the garment handling device. When the distance D is greater than 52mm, the distance between the two first rollers is too wide, which increases the space required to accommodate the two first rollers in the first box, thus increasing the overall volume of the first box and hindering its miniaturization design.

[0025] In some possible implementations, the first housing includes: a front panel; a first side panel connected to the front panel along the depth direction of the first housing; a second side panel disposed opposite to the first side panel along the width direction of the first housing, and connected to the front panel along the depth direction of the first housing; along the width direction of the first housing, the distance between one of the first rollers and the first side panel is d4, and the distance between the other first roller and the second side panel is d5, satisfying: 15mm < d4 < 20mm, and 15mm < d5 < 20mm.

[0026] Considering the vibration of the first roller during operation, which may cause it to collide with the side panel of the first housing in the width direction, the first roller is spaced apart from the side panel to prevent interference between the roller's movement and the side panel. Furthermore, considering that controlling the distance between the first roller and the side panel in the width direction might affect the internal storage space of the first housing, the distance is controlled at 15mm-20mm to avoid increasing the width dimension of the first housing and thus preventing an increase in the overall size of the first housing.

[0027] When the first roller moves in the width direction, if the distance between the first roller and the side plate of the first housing is small (d4 < 15mm, d5 < 15mm), the first roller may collide with the side plate of the first housing, affecting the safe operation of the first roller. If the distance between the first roller and the wall of the first housing is large (d4 > 20mm, d5 > 20mm), it may increase the size of the first housing in the width direction, which is not conducive to the miniaturization design of the first housing.

[0028] Thirdly, this application also discloses a combined garment processing device, comprising: a first garment processing device; and a second garment processing device, wherein the second garment processing device is the garment processing device as described in the first or second aspect, and the second garment processing device is detachably disposed on the top of the first garment processing device.

[0029] When the second garment handling device of this application is mounted on the first garment handling device, the second garment handling device can be detached from the top of the first garment handling device, or it can be mounted on the first garment handling device. The first garment handling device can be a single-tub or twin-tub drum-type washing machine, dryer, or washer-dryer combo. That is, users can choose a miniaturized twin-tub garment handling device with the second garment handling device, or combine them to form a more functional three-tub or multi-tub garment handling device to meet different usage needs.

[0030] In some possible implementations, the first garment handling device includes: a second housing, the first housing being disposed at the top of the second housing along its own height direction; a second roller, the second roller being disposed inside the second housing; the height of the first housing is H1, and the height of the second housing is H2, satisfying: 0.476 < H1 / H2 < 0.574.

[0031] The first chamber of this application can be placed on the second chamber, and combined with the second roller of the second chamber to form a three-drum garment processing device. For example, when the first chamber has two first rollers, the first chamber and the second chamber form a three-drum garment processing device. When the first chamber and the second chamber form a three-drum garment processing device, the user can use either the first chamber or the second chamber for washing according to their needs. For example, when washing a small amount of clothing or underwear, the first chamber can be used; when washing a large amount of clothing, the second chamber can be used; when washing underwear and large items such as coats and duvet covers at the same time, the underwear and large items can be separated and washed separately using the first chamber and the second chamber.

[0032] When the first compartment is placed on top of the second compartment, if the size of the first compartment is too small relative to the size of the second compartment (H1 / H2 < 0.476), the first compartment will be positioned too low in the height direction, which may make it inconvenient for users to retrieve or place clothes onto the first roller located inside the first compartment. If the size of the first compartment is too large relative to the size of the second compartment (H1 / H2 > 0.574), the first compartment will occupy a significant amount of space above the second compartment, which is detrimental to the indoor installation of the combined clothing handling equipment. Therefore, this application controls the ratio of the size of the first compartment to the size of the second compartment to within 0.476-0.574. When the first compartment is placed on top of the second compartment, it facilitates users in retrieving or placing clothes from the first compartment while also reducing the space occupied indoors.

[0033] In some possible implementations, H1 satisfies: 455mm < H1 < 485mm; and H2 satisfies: 845mm < H2 < 955mm.

[0034] On the one hand, when H1 is large, i.e., H1 > 485mm, it indicates that the height of the first box is too large. For example, when the first box is placed on a platform or other flat surface, it may occupy a lot of indoor space. On the other hand, when H1 is small, i.e., H1 < 455mm, it indicates that the height of the first box is too small, and there is less space in the height direction inside the first box, which is not conducive to setting up structures above or below the first roller.

[0035] On the other hand, when the height H3 of the second chamber is less than 845mm, the second roller may be positioned too low, making it difficult to retrieve clothes from it. The position of the first chamber will also be affected by the lower height of the second chamber. When the height H3 of the second chamber is greater than 955mm, the overall height of the clothing processing equipment consisting of the second chamber and the first chamber is too high, taking up additional indoor space.

[0036] When the first compartment is placed on top of the second compartment, forming a combined garment processing device, the overall height of the device can be approximately 1.3 to 1.5 meters. For the user, the opening of the first roller in the first compartment is likely located at approximately 1.1 meters, facilitating the loading and unloading of garments. Furthermore, the first compartment is relatively smaller in height than the second compartment, minimizing the space occupied by the first compartment above the second compartment when placed on top. Therefore, when the first and second compartments are installed together to form a combined garment processing device, the required indoor space is minimized.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0038] In some embodiments of the garment handling apparatus of this application, on the one hand, in this miniaturized twin-tube garment handling apparatus, its width dimension is fixed. When the twin tubes are installed in the first housing, the space in the width direction of the first housing is relatively limited, and it is also necessary to leave effective movement space for the first rollers during operation. In the relatively compact space, the diameter of the receiving cavity of the two first rollers is designed to be small, and the space for holding clothes is relatively limited. Moreover, the diameter of the opening of the first roller is also relatively small. Based on this, this application sets the ratio of the diameter d3 of the receiving cavity to the diameter d1 of the opening within 1.2-1.7. First, even with a small diameter of the receiving cavity and the diameter of the opening, the diameter of the opening is still large enough to facilitate the insertion of clothes from the opening into the receiving cavity, which is beneficial for the user to insert clothes into the receiving cavity. Second, generally speaking, along the height direction of the first housing, the edge of the lower opening is higher than the inner wall surface of the lower side of the receiving cavity. In this application, when the ratio of the diameter d3 of the receiving cavity to the diameter d1 of the tube opening is within 1.2-1.7, the edge of the tube opening located below is more prominent than the inner wall surface of the lower side of the receiving cavity. After the clothes are put into the receiving cavity, the clothes are less likely to overlap the edge of the tube opening, thus preventing the clothes from getting caught when the door closes the tube opening.

[0039] On the other hand, when the front opening of the first housing is connected to the opening of the first roller, the door simultaneously seals both the front opening of the first housing and the opening of the first roller. When water overflows from the first roller, it first overflows through the seal between the edge of the opening and the edge of the door, then spreads through the door, and finally overflows through the seal between the edge of the front opening and the edge of the door. In other words, the larger the door, the longer the path the water must travel to overflow. To address this, this application controls the size ratio of the door to the opening between 2.1 and 2.4, increasing the distance between the edge of the door and the edge of the opening. This means that water overflowing from the edge of the opening must flow through a larger area of ​​the door before overflowing. This improves the overflow prevention effect of the garment handling device. Simultaneously, the greater space between the edge of the door and the edge of the opening facilitates the installation of additional waterproof materials or structures to further enhance the waterproof sealing effect.

[0054] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0055] In this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing this application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0056] Furthermore, in addition to indicating location or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0057] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," "connection," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0058] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are primarily used to distinguish different devices, elements, or components (which may be the same or different in specific type and construction), and are not intended to indicate or imply the relative importance or quantity of the indicated devices, elements, or components. Unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0059] Clothing handling devices can generally be categorized by type into washing machines, dryers, or dry cleaning combos. Structurally, they can be divided into top-loading washing machines and front-loading washing machines.

[0060] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, laundry detergents have become indispensable household appliances. In home use, users have different needs for washing different types of clothing. For example, when washing large items such as duvet covers and outerwear, a large-capacity washing machine (e.g., 6kg-12kg capacity) is required. However, when washing items such as underwear, baby clothes, or socks, or washing a small amount of clothing, using a large-capacity laundry detergent may result in unnecessary water waste. Therefore, miniaturized laundry detergents have emerged on the market. These miniaturized detergents have a smaller capacity and can typically wash clothes weighing between 1kg and 5kg.

[0061] However, during use of this miniaturized laundry detergent, due to the relatively small capacity of the drum, clothes inside may cause water to splash out of the drum opening during the washing process. This could affect the user experience. Therefore, this miniaturized laundry detergent requires a high degree of sealing at the drum opening. Furthermore, the relatively small capacity of the drum and the size of the drum opening may affect the user's ability to load clothes into the drum, thus impacting the user experience.

[0062] In response, this application discloses a garment handling device and a combined garment handling equipment. On one hand, the garment handling device controls the relative proportions of the door and the opening, ensuring a relatively large distance between the edge of the door and the edge of the opening. When water overflows from the edge of the opening, it needs to travel a longer path before overflowing from the edge of the door, thus improving the overflow prevention effect of the garment handling device. It also facilitates the installation of additional waterproof structures or materials along the water's path through the door, improving the sealing effect of the door to the opening. On the other hand, by controlling the size of the opening, the garment handling device allows users to easily add garments while preventing them from overlapping at the edge of the opening, thus preventing fabric from getting caught when the door seals the opening.

[0063] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0064] Please see Figure 1 This application discloses a clothing handling device 100 including a first housing 1, the first housing 1 having a front opening 1a along the depth direction of the first housing.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first housing 1 includes a front panel 11, a rear panel 12, a first side panel 13, a second side panel 14, and a top panel 15. The front panel has the aforementioned front opening 1a. The front panel 11 and the rear panel 12 are spaced apart and parallel to each other. The first side panel 13 and the second side panel 14 are spaced apart and parallel to each other. The first side panel 13 is located to the left of the front panel 11 and the rear panel 12, with one end connected to the front panel 11 and the other end connected to the rear panel 12. The second side panel 14 is located to the right of the front panel 11 and the rear panel 12, with one end connected to the front panel 11 and the other end connected to the rear panel 12. The front panel 11, the first side panel 13, the rear panel 12, and the second side panel 14 form a ring-shaped structure. The top panel 15 covers the top of this ring-shaped structure. The front panel 11, the rear panel 12, the first side panel 13, the second side panel 14, and the top panel 15 together form a receiving space.

[0066] Optionally, the front panel 11 is provided with a front opening 1a.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first housing 1 further includes a frame (not shown), the frame including a front frame and a rear frame, the front frame being connected to the front panel 11 and the rear frame being connected to the rear panel 12.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first housing 1 includes a bottom plate 16, which is spaced apart from and parallel to the top plate 15. The bottom plate 16 is connected to the ends of the front panel 11, the rear panel 12, the first side panel 13, and the second side panel 14 away from the top plate 15.

[0069] It is understood that the width direction of the first box 1 refers to the direction in which the first side panel 13 and the second side panel 14 are arranged alternately, the depth direction refers to the direction in which the front panel 11 and the rear panel 12 are arranged alternately, and the height direction refers to the height direction of the first box 1 itself. The height direction, width direction, and depth direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0070] Understandably, in Figure 1 In the diagram, X indicates the front-to-back direction of the first box 1, and Y indicates the left-to-right direction of the first box 1. For example, viewed from the paper, the side closer to the bottom is the front of the first box 1, the side closer to the top is the back of the first box 1, the left side of the paper is the left side of the first box 1, and the right side of the paper is the right side of the first box 1. Figure 1 The direction indicated by Z is the height direction of the first box 1. For example, the height of the first box 1 can be the distance from the upper surface of the top plate 15 of the first box 1 to the bottom plate 16, or the distance from the upper surface of the top plate 15 of the first box 1 to the ground or tabletop. The depth direction can be the front-to-back direction of the first box 1, and the width direction can be the left-to-right direction of the first box 1.

[0071] In other words, when the opening 1a faces the depth direction of the first housing 1, the clothing handling device 100 can be a drum washing machine or a drum-type washer-dryer combo.

[0072] Taking the clothing processing device 100 as an example of a drum washing machine. That is, the end facing the front opening 1a of the first cabinet 1 can be the front end, and the other end can be the rear end. The side of the first cabinet 1 that is used to place on the ground or a table is the bottom end, and the other end is the top end.

[0073] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 100 includes a door 2 connected to a first housing 1, and the door 2 is movable relative to the first housing 1 to cover or open the front opening 1a.

[0074] It is understandable that when the door 2 moves relative to the front opening 1a, the door 2 can rotate relative to the front opening 1a, or the door 2 can slide relative to the front opening 1a, so that the door 2 can block or open the front opening 1a.

[0075] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the garment handling device 100 includes a first roller 3, which is disposed inside the first housing 1.

[0076] It is understandable that the first roller 3 is used to hold clothes and the clothes can be washed inside the first roller 3.

[0077] Optionally, the garment handling device 100 includes a first roller 3 and an outer cylinder (not shown). The outer cylinder is located on the outer periphery of the first roller 3. The outer cylinder can hold the water discharged after washing the clothes in the first roller 3, and can also support the first roller 3 to improve the structural strength of the first roller 3.

[0078] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the garment processing device 100 further includes a control component 4, which may include a control panel and a motherboard. The control panel is located on the front panel 11 of the first housing 1 for user operation. The motherboard is located inside the first housing 1 and is electrically connected to the control panel. The motherboard is used to receive control signals and control the operation of the garment processing device 100.

[0079] For example, the user inputs a control signal for washing clothes at the control panel, and the motherboard receives the control signal and controls the clothes handling device 100 to perform the clothes washing operation.

[0080] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 100 further includes a motor (not shown). The motor is located inside the first housing 1 and has a power output shaft connected to the bottom of the first roller 3. The motor is used to drive the first roller 3 to rotate relative to the first housing 1.

[0081] It is understood that the first roller 3 has an opening 31 at one end along its own axial direction, and the end opposite to the opening 31 along the axial direction is the bottom of the first roller 3.

[0082] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the clothing processing device 100 further includes a water supply component 5, which is configured to allow external water to flow into the first drum 3 to soak and wash the clothing inside the first drum 3. The water supply component 5 may include a water inlet, a water supply pipe, a water supply valve, etc., which are not specifically limited herein.

[0083] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 100 further includes a drainage assembly 6, which is configured to drain water from the first roller 3 to the outside of the garment handling device 100. The drainage assembly 6 may include a drain outlet, a drain pipe, a drain valve, etc., which are not specifically limited herein.

[0084] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 100 further includes a shock-absorbing assembly 7 disposed between the first housing 1 and the first roller 3. The shock-absorbing assembly 7 includes multiple elastic elements and / or multiple dampers. The elastic elements buffer the vibrations caused by the operation of the first roller 3 through elastic deformation, and the dampers reduce the vibration of the garment handling device 100 by absorbing energy.

[0085] For example, the shock-absorbing component 7 may be disposed on the outside of the first roller 3 and connected to the first housing 1 to reduce the vibration generated by the first roller 3 during operation.

[0086] Optionally, the elastic element may be, but is not limited to, springs, sheet metal, etc., and this application does not make specific limitations.

[0087] Optionally, the number of elastic elements and dampers can be two, four, six, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit them here.

[0088] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first roller 3 has a receiving cavity 32 and a cylinder opening 31. The cylinder opening 31 connects the front opening 1a and the receiving cavity 32, and a portion of the door 2 is configured to either block or open the cylinder opening 31. That is, when the door 2 opens or blocks the front opening 1a, it also simultaneously opens or blocks the cylinder opening 31.

[0089] Optionally, the cylinder opening 31 has a diameter d1, and the door body 2 has a dimension d2 along the height direction of the first box body 1, wherein the diameter d1 of the cylinder opening 31 and the dimension d2 of the door body 2 satisfy: 2.1 < d2 / d1 < 2.4.

[0090] In other words, the size of the door body 2 can be 2.1 to 2.4 times the diameter of the opening 31. When the door body 2 seals the opening 31, the edge of the door body 2 does not coincide with the edge of the opening 31. Moreover, because the size of the door body 2 is relatively large compared to the opening 31, the distance between the edge of the door body 2 and the edge of the opening 31 is relatively large when the door body 2 seals the opening 31. For example, when water overflows from the edge of the opening 31, the water must flow through a portion of the door body 2 before it can overflow from the edge of the door body 2, or the water may be trapped by the door body 2 and unable to overflow. This can alleviate the overflow of water from the edge of the door body 2. Furthermore, because the distance between the edge of the door body 2 and the edge of the opening 31 is relatively large, it is also beneficial to further install waterproof structures or waterproof materials, thereby improving the sealing and waterproofing effect of the door body 2 on the opening 31.

[0091] For example, d2 / d1 can be 2.1-2.15, 2.15-2.2, 2.2-2.25, 2.25-2.3, 2.3-2.35, 2.35-2.4, etc. For instance, d2 / d1 can be 2.11, 2.13, 2.15, 2.18, 2.2, 2.23, 2.25, 2.28, 2.3, 2.33, 2.35, 2.38, or 2.39, etc.

[0092] On the one hand, when the ratio of d2 / d1 is too small, i.e., d2 / d1 is less than 2.1, it means that the distance between the edge of the cylinder opening 31 and the edge of the door body 2 is small. This may result in a shorter path for water overflow, affecting the waterproof sealing effect and making waterproof design difficult. On the other hand, when the ratio of d2 / d1 is too large, i.e., d2 / d1 is greater than 2.4, it means that the distance between the edge of the cylinder opening 31 and the edge of the door body 2 is large. This increases the difficulty of waterproofing the cylinder opening 31 by the door body 2, which is not conducive to waterproof design.

[0093] In some embodiments, the height H1 of the first housing 1 may optionally be 455mm-485mm.

[0094] For example, H1 can be 455mm-460mm, 460mm-465mm, 465mm-470mm, 470mm-475mm, 475mm-480mm, 480mm-485mm, etc. For instance, H1 can be 456mm, 458mm, 460mm, 463mm, 465mm, 468mm, 470mm, 473mm, 475mm, 478mm, 480mm, 483mm, or 484mm, etc.

[0095] When H1 is large, i.e., H1 > 485 mm, it indicates that the height of the first box 1 is too large. For example, when the first box 1 is placed on a platform or other flat surface, it may occupy a lot of indoor space. When H1 is small, i.e., H1 < 455 mm, it indicates that the height of the first box 1 is too small, and there is less space in the height direction of the first box 1, which is not conducive to setting up structures above or below the first roller 3.

[0096] Please see Figure 5 Optionally, the diameter d1 of the cylinder opening 31 and the height H1 of the first box 1 satisfy: 0.34 < d1 / H1 < 0.36.

[0097] For example, d1 / H1 can be 0.34-0.345, 0.345-0.35, 0.35-0.355, 0.355-0.36, etc. For instance, d1 / H1 can be 0.341, 0.343, 0.345, 0.348, 0.35, 0.353, 0.355, 0.357, or 0.359, etc.

[0098] When d1 / H1 < 0.34, it means that the diameter of the opening 31 is relatively small compared to the height of the first box 1. If the diameter of the opening 31 is too small, it may be inconvenient for the user to put clothes into the receiving cavity 32. When d1 / H1 > 0.36, it means that the diameter of the opening 31 is relatively large compared to the height of the first box 1. If the diameter of the opening 31 is too large, it is not conducive to setting waterproof materials or waterproof structures at the opening 31.

[0099] In other words, this application controls the ratio of the diameter d1 of the tube opening 31 to the height H1 of the first box body 1 to 0.34-0.36, which is beneficial for users to put clothes in while also facilitating the waterproof design of the tube opening.

[0100] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, the front panel 11 is recessed into the first housing 1 around the front opening 1a to form a recess 11a, and the door 2 is fitted into the recess 11a.

[0101] To further enhance the sealing effect of the door 2 on the opening 31, when the door 2 seals the opening 1a and the opening 31, the door 2 is inserted into the recess 11a to cooperate with it. That is, when the door 2 is inserted into the recess 11a, part of the door 2 is connected to the opening 31. In other words, when water overflows from the edge of the opening 31, the water will pass through the part where the door 2 and the recess 11a cooperate, and finally overflow from the edge where the door 2 and the recess 11a cooperate. In other words, the overflow path of the water is longer, thereby improving the overflow prevention effect of the clothing handling device 100.

[0102] Furthermore, a waterproof structure or waterproof material can be provided at the mating point between the door body 2 and the recess 11a to prevent water from overflowing from the edge of the mating point between the door body 2 and the recess 11a.

[0103] On the other hand, when the door 2 is inserted into the recess 11a, the surface of the door 2 is flush with the surface of the front panel 11, which helps to make the appearance of the clothing handling device 100 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0104] It is understood that the recess 11a can be integrally stamped with the front panel 11, or the recess 11a can be manufactured separately and then installed with the front panel 11.

[0105] In some embodiments, the first roller 3 includes a first end 33 and a second end 34. The first end 33 has a cylindrical opening 31, and the second end 34 is disposed opposite to the first end 33 along the depth direction of the first housing. The first roller 3 is inclined relative to the depth direction of the first housing 1, so that the first end 33 is higher than the second end 34 in the height direction of the first housing 1.

[0106] It is understandable that the first roller 3 is inclined relative to the depth direction of the first housing 1, that is, the axis 3a of the first roller 3 is inclined relative to the depth direction of the first housing 1. From Figure 5 In the example, when viewed from the height direction of the first housing 1, the height of the first end 33 is higher than that of the second end 34. When the user puts clothes into the first roller 3, the inclined first roller 3 can better hold the clothes and water, thereby further improving the overflow prevention effect of the clothes handling device 100.

[0107] Please see Figure 7 Optionally, the axis 3a of the first roller 3 has an angle α with the depth direction of the first box 1, where 2°≤α≤6°.

[0108] On the one hand, when the first roller 3 is set to tilt, the tilt angle needs to be avoided being too small. First, if the tilt angle of the first roller 3 is insufficient, it may be difficult to hold the water, causing water to overflow from the first roller 3. Second, if the tilt angle of the first roller 3 is insufficient and the capacity of the first roller 3 is small, it will not be conducive to holding the clothes inside the first roller 3. Therefore, avoiding an excessively small tilt angle of the first roller 3 is beneficial to improving the situation of water overflow and preventing clothes from leaking out of the first roller 3.

[0109] On the other hand, when the first roller 3 is set to tilt, the tilt angle needs to be avoided from being too large. First, if the tilt angle of the first roller 3 is too large, Figure 7 In the example, from a height perspective, the space above one end of the opening 31 of the first roller 3 and the space below the bottom end of the first roller 3 are relatively small, which is not conducive to the rational arrangement of other functional components within the space of the first housing 1. Secondly, when the tilt angle of the first roller 3 increases, the relative depth of the first roller 3 increases, making it inconvenient for the user to reach into the first roller 3 to retrieve clothing. Therefore, avoiding an excessively large tilt angle of the first roller 3 is beneficial to improving the space utilization rate within the first housing 1 and making it easier for the user to retrieve clothing from the first roller 3.

[0110] For example, the included angle α can be 2°-2.5°, 2.5°-3°, 3°-3.5°, 3.5°-4°, 4°-4.5°, 4.5°-5°, 5°-5.5°, 5.5°-6°, etc. For instance, the included angle α can be 2.1°, 2.3°, 2.5°, 2.8°, 3°, 3.3°, 3.5°, 3.8°, 4°, 4.3°, 4.5°, 4.8°, 5°, 5.3°, 5.5°, 5.8°, or 5.9°, etc. When the included angle α is less than 2°, the tilt angle of the first roller 3 may be insufficient, making it difficult to hold water and causing water to overflow from the first roller 3. Moreover, it may also be detrimental to the first roller 3 in holding clothing. When the included angle is greater than 6°, from the perspective of height, the space above one end of the opening 31 of the first roller 3 and the space below the bottom end are relatively small, which is not conducive to the rational arrangement of other functional components using the space inside the first box 1. Moreover, when the tilt angle of the first roller 3 increases, the relative depth of the first roller 3 increases, making it inconvenient for users to reach into the first roller 3 to take out clothes.

[0111] In this application, the tilt angle of the first roller 3 is controlled between 2° and 6°. On the one hand, avoiding an excessively small tilt angle of the first roller 3 helps to improve the situation of water overflow and the leakage of clothes from the first roller 3. On the other hand, avoiding an excessively large tilt angle of the first roller 3 helps to improve the space utilization rate inside the first box 1 and makes it easier for users to take clothes out of the first roller 3.

[0112] Please see again Figure 5 In some embodiments, the receiving cavity 32 has a diameter d3, wherein 1.2 < d3 / d1 < 1.7.

[0113] Considering that when clothes are put into the receiving cavity 32 of the first roller 3, the clothes may overlap the edge of the opening 31, and if the user closes the door, the door 2 may trap the clothes overlapping the edge of the opening 31, causing the door 2 to not seal tightly and affecting the normal washing of the clothes. In this regard, this application controls the size ratio of the opening 31 to the receiving cavity 32, so that the diameter of the receiving cavity 32 is relatively larger than the diameter of the opening 31. That is, along the height direction of the first box 1, the edge of the lower opening 31 is higher than the inner wall surface of the lower side of the receiving cavity 32, so that when the clothes enter the receiving cavity 32, the clothes will not cross the edge of the opening 31, thus preventing the clothes from being trapped when the door 2 closes the opening 31.

[0114] For example, d3 / d1 can be 1.2-1.25, 1.25-1.30, 1.30-1.35, 1.35-1.40, 1.40-1.45, 1.45-1.50, 1.50-1.55, 1.55-1.60, 1.60-1.65, 1.65-1.70, etc. For example, d3 / d1 can be 121, 1.23, 1.25, 1.28, 1.30, 1.33, 1.35, 1.38, 1.40, 1.43, 1.45, 1.48, 1.50, 1.53, 1.55, 1.58, 1.60, 1.63, 1.65, 1.68, or 1.70, etc. If the ratio of the diameter of the receiving cavity 32 to the diameter of the opening 31 is too large, for example, d3 / d1 > 1.70, it means that the size of the opening 31 may be relatively small. A small opening 31 may affect the user's ability to put clothes into or take clothes out of the receiving cavity 32. If the ratio of the diameter of the receiving cavity 32 to the diameter of the opening 31 is too small, for example, d3 / d1 < 1.20, the size of the opening 31 is relatively large. Along the height direction, the edge of the opening 31 is close to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 32. When clothes are placed in the receiving cavity 32, the clothes are likely to drape over the edge of the opening 31. When the door 2 blocks the opening 31, it may cause the clothes to get caught.

[0115] Therefore, controlling the ratio of the diameter of the receiving cavity 32 to the diameter of the tube opening 31 to 1.20-1.70 not only makes it easier for users to take clothes out of the receiving cavity 32, but also helps to improve the situation where clothes overlap the edge of the tube opening 31 and cause the fabric to get stuck.

[0116] Please see Figure 8 In some embodiments, there are two first rollers 3, which are spaced apart in the first box 1 along the width direction of the first box, and the openings 31 of the two first rollers 3 face the depth direction of the first box.

[0117] On the one hand, the first housing 1 of the garment processing device 100 can be equipped with two first rollers 3, so that users can perform zoned washing when washing different types of clothing. For example, one first roller 3 can be used to wash large items of clothing such as outerwear and quilts, while the other first roller 3 can be used to wash small items of clothing such as underwear or socks. Alternatively, the two first rollers 3 can increase the number of clothes that can be washed at one time.

[0118] On the other hand, when the two first rollers 3 are arranged inside the first housing 1, they are spaced apart in the width direction of the first housing 1. Considering that the two first rollers 3 may vibrate along the width direction of the first housing 1 during operation, this application sets a gap between the two first rollers 3 in the width direction of the first housing. Firstly, this avoids the problem of motion interference between the two first rollers 3 due to the gap being too small, and secondly, it avoids the problem of excessive space occupation in the width direction of the first housing 1 due to the gap being too large, thus affecting the overall volume of the first housing 1.

[0119] It is understandable that when there are two first rollers 3, there are also two front openings 1a, and two door bodies 2 are also set accordingly.

[0120] Optionally, along the width direction of the first housing 1, the distance D between the axis 3a of one first roller 3 and the axis 3a of another first roller 3 satisfies: 275mm < D < 307mm.

[0121] For example, the spacing D can be 275mm-280mm, 280mm-285mm, 285mm-290mm, 290mm-295mm, 295mm-300mm, 300mm-307mm, etc. For instance, the spacing D can be 276mm, 278mm, 280mm, 283mm, 285mm, 288mm, 290mm, 293mm, 295mm, 298mm, 300mm, 303mm, 305mm, or 306mm, etc.

[0122] When the distance D is less than 275mm, the two first rollers 3 may interfere with each other when moving in the width direction of the first box due to their close proximity, affecting the safe operation of the garment handling device 100. When the distance D is greater than 307mm, the distance between the two first rollers 3 is too wide, which increases the space required by the first box 1 to accommodate the two first rollers 3, thereby increasing the overall volume of the first box 1 and hindering the miniaturization design of the first box 1.

[0123] Therefore, this application controls the distance between the two first rollers 3 inside the first housing 1. On the one hand, it can avoid the problem of interference caused by the distance between the two first rollers 3 being too close. On the other hand, it can avoid the problem of the distance between the two rollers being too large, which would increase the volume of the first housing 1, so that the first housing 1 can be miniaturized.

[0124] In some embodiments, the first roller 3 is spaced apart from the side plate of the first housing 1 along the width direction of the first housing 1.

[0125] Understandably, to prevent the first roller 3 from colliding with the side plate of the first housing 1 when it moves in the width direction, for example, one of the first rollers is spaced apart from the first side plate, and the other is spaced apart from the second side plate. This spacing between the first roller 3 and the side plate of the first housing 1 prevents damage to the side plate of the first housing 1 during operation.

[0126] by Figure 9 As shown in the example, on the left side of the paper, a first roller 3 is spaced apart from the first side plate 13 of the first box 1 on the left side, and on the right side of the paper, another first roller 3 is spaced apart from the second side plate 14 of the first box 1 on the right side.

[0127] Please see Figure 9 Optionally, along the width direction of the first housing, the distance between one first roller 3 and the first side plate 13 of the first housing 1 is d4, and the distance between the other first roller 3 and the second side plate 14 of the first housing 1 is d5, wherein 15mm < d4 < 20mm and 15mm < d5 < 20mm.

[0128] For example, d4 and d5 can both be 15mm-15.5mm, 15.5mm-16mm, 16mm-16.5mm, 16.5mm-17mm, 17mm-17.5mm, 17.5mm-18mm, 18mm-18.5mm, 18.5mm-19mm, 19mm-19.5mm, 19.5mm-20mm, etc. For example, d1 and d2 can both be 15.1mm, 15.3mm, 15.5mm, 15.8mm, 16mm, 16.3mm, 16.5mm, 16.8mm, 17mm, 17.3mm, 17.5mm, 17.8mm, 18mm, 18.3mm, 18.5mm, 18.8mm, 19mm, 19.3mm, 19.5mm, 19.8mm, or 19.9mm, etc.

[0129] The first roller 3 moves in the width direction of the first housing 1. If the distance between the first roller 3 and the side plate of the first housing 1 is small, i.e., d4 < 15mm and d5 < 15mm, the first roller 3 may collide with the side plate of the first housing 1, affecting the safe operation of the first roller 3. If the distance between the first roller 3 and the side plate of the first housing 1 is large, i.e., d4 > 20mm and d5 > 20mm, it may increase the size of the first housing 1 in the width direction, which is not conducive to the miniaturization design of the first housing 1.

[0130] In other words, this application not only considers the vibration of the first roller 3 during operation, which may cause the first roller 3 to collide with the side plate of the first housing 1 in the width direction, but also considers that controlling the distance between the first roller 3 and the side plate of the first housing 1 in the width direction may affect the overall size of the first housing 1. Therefore, this application controls the distance between the first roller 3 and the first housing 1 in the width direction of the first housing 1 to 15mm-20mm, to prevent the movement of the first roller 3 from interfering with the side plate of the first housing 1 while avoiding increasing the size of the first housing 1 in the width direction, thereby preventing an increase in the overall size of the first housing 1.

[0131] This application also discloses a combined garment processing device 200, including a first garment processing device 201 and a second garment processing device 100. The second garment processing device 100 may be the garment processing device 100 disclosed above. The second garment processing device 100 is detachably disposed on top of the first garment processing device 201.

[0132] It is understandable that the width dimensions of the first garment processing device 201 and the second garment processing device 100 can be approximately the same.

[0133] When the second garment processing device 100 of this application is mounted on the first garment processing device 201, the second garment processing device 100 can be detached from the top of the first garment processing device 201, or the second garment processing device 100 can be mounted on the first garment processing device 201. The first garment processing device 201 can also be a single-tub or twin-tub drum-type washing machine, dryer, or washer-dryer combo. That is, users can choose to use a miniaturized twin-tub garment processing device 100 with the second garment processing device 100, or combine them to form a more functional three-tub or multi-tub garment processing device to meet different usage needs.

[0134] Please see Figure 10 In some embodiments, the first garment handling device 201 includes a second housing 8 and a second roller 9. The first housing 1 is disposed on the top of the second housing 8 along the height direction, and the second roller 9 is disposed inside the second housing 8.

[0135] It is understood that the first box 1 disclosed in this application can be placed on the second box 8 and combined with the second roller 9 of the second box 8 to form a three-roller combined clothing processing device 200.

[0136] For example, when the first housing 1 has two first rollers 3, the first housing 1 and the second housing 8 form a three-roller combined garment processing device 200. When the first housing 1 and the second housing 8 form a three-roller combined garment processing device 200, the user can use the first housing 1 or the second housing 8 for washing according to needs. For example, when washing a small amount of clothes or underwear, the first housing 1 can be used for washing. If washing a large amount of clothes, the second housing 8 can be used for washing. If washing underwear and large items such as coats and duvet covers at the same time, the underwear and large items can be separated and washed separately using the first housing 1 and the second housing 8.

[0137] Please see Figure 10 In some embodiments, the first housing 1 has a height H1 and the second housing 8 has a height H2, wherein 0.476 < H1 / H2 < 0.574.

[0138] For example, H1 / H2 can be 0.476-0.486, 0.486-0.496, 0.496-0.506, 0.506-0.516, 0.516-0.526, 0.526-0.536, 0.536-0.546, 0.546-0.556, 0.556-0.566, 566-574, etc. For example, H1 / H2 can be 0.477, 0.480, 0.486, 0.490, 0.496, 0.500, 0.506, 0.510, 0.516, 0.520, 0.526, 0.530, 0.536, 0.540, 0.546, 0.550, 0.556, 0.560, 0.566, 0.570, or 0.573, etc.

[0139] When the first compartment 1 is placed on top of the second compartment 8, if the size of the first compartment 1 is too small relative to the size of the second compartment 8 (H1 / H2 < 0.476), the first compartment 1 will be positioned too low in the height direction, which may make it inconvenient for users to retrieve or place clothes from the first roller 3 located inside the first compartment 1. If the size of the first compartment 1 is too large relative to the size of the second compartment 8 (H1 / H2 > 0.574), the first compartment 1 will occupy a large amount of space above the second compartment 8, which is not conducive to the indoor installation of the combined clothing handling equipment 200. Therefore, this application controls the ratio of the size of the first compartment 1 to the size of the second compartment 8 to within 0.476-0.574. When the first compartment 1 is placed on top of the second compartment 8, it is convenient for users to retrieve or place clothes from the first compartment 1 while also reducing the space occupied indoors.

[0140] Optionally, the second housing 8 has a height H2, wherein 845mm < H2 < 955mm.

[0141] For example, the height H2 of the second housing 8 can be 845mm-855mm, 855mm-865mm, 865mm-875mm, 975mm-885mm, 885mm-895mm, 895mm-905mm, 905mm-915mm, 915mm-925mm, 925mm-935mm, 935mm-945mm, 945mm-955mm, etc. For example, the height H2 of the second housing can be 846mm, 850mm, 855mm, 860mm, 865mm, 870mm, 875mm, 880mm, 885mm, 890mm, 895mm, 900mm, 905mm, 910mm, 915mm, 920mm, 925mm, 930mm, 935mm, 940mm, 945mm, 950mm, or 954mm, etc.

[0142] Understandably, the height H1 of the first housing 1 is between 455mm and 485mm. When the first housing 1 is placed on the second housing 8, and the first housing 1 and the second housing 8 form the garment processing device 100, the overall height of the garment processing device can be approximately 1.3 meters to 1.5 meters. When the height H3 of the second housing 8 is less than 845mm, the position of the second roller 9 may be too low, making it difficult to retrieve garments from the second roller 9, and the position of the first housing 1 will also be affected by the lower position of the second housing 8. When the height H3 of the second housing 8 is greater than 955mm, the overall height of the combined garment processing equipment 200 formed by the second housing 8 and the first housing 1 is too high, occupying additional indoor space.

[0143] In this application, when the height H2 of the second box 8 is controlled between 845mm and 955mm, the opening of the first roller 3 of the first box 1 can be located at approximately 1.1m, facilitating the loading and unloading of clothing from the first roller 3. Furthermore, the first box 1 is relatively smaller in height than the second box 8, resulting in less space occupied by the first box 1 above the second box 8 when placed on top of it. Consequently, when the first box 1 and the second box 8 are integrated to form a clothing handling device, the required indoor space is minimized.

[0144] In some embodiments, the combined garment processing device 200 of this application further includes a support (not shown), which is disposed on the top of the second box 8 along the height direction of the first box 1, the first box 1 is disposed on the support, and the support is configured to be detachably connected to the first box 1.

[0145] Considering that if the first box 1 is directly mounted on the second box 8, there is a possibility that the first box 1 may fall off the second box 8, this application utilizes a bracket to mount the first box 1 onto the second box 8. For example, the bracket is mounted on the second box 8, and when the first box 1 needs to be fixed to the second box 8, the bracket can be secured to the second box 8 using clips, screws, or pins. Alternatively, when the first box 1 needs to be removed from the bracket, the clips can be removed, the screws loosened, or the pins pulled out to separate the bracket from the first box 1. When the first box 1 does not need to be removed from the second box 8, it can be fixed to the second box 8 using the bracket to prevent it from falling. Alternatively, when the modular garment processing equipment 200 needs to be moved, the first box 1 can be removed from the second box 8 for easy handling and transportation.
