Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of washing equipment technology, specifically to a drum assembly and a garment processing device. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous progress of society and the economy, people have higher requirements for the washing quality and hygiene safety of clothing. Therefore, in recent years, washing or drying different types of clothing separately has become a trend. In related technologies, clothing processing equipment is equipped with multiple processing drums to handle different types of clothing separately. Among these multiple processing drums, some are arranged above others. How to drain water from the upper processing drum is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Utility Model Content
[0003] This disclosure proposes a cylindrical assembly to prevent the lower processing cylinder from affecting the drainage of the upper processing cylinder.
[0004] The cylindrical assembly disclosed herein includes a first processing cylinder and a second processing cylinder, the second processing cylinder being disposed above the first processing cylinder and having a drain outlet that drains water laterally.
[0005] The disclosed cylinder assembly solves the drainage problem of the second processing cylinder by placing the second processing cylinder above the first processing cylinder and setting the drain port of the second processing cylinder to face the side for drainage, thus avoiding the difficulty of drainage of the second processing cylinder due to insufficient space between the first and second processing cylinders.
[0006] Optionally, the opening direction of the drain outlet is parallel to the horizontal direction or forms a preset angle with the horizontal direction, and the horizontal direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction.
[0007] By setting the opening direction of the drain outlet to be parallel to the horizontal direction or at a preset angle to the horizontal direction, the drainage of the second treatment cylinder can be more effectively prevented from being affected by the first treatment cylinder.
[0008] Optionally, the bottom of the second processing cylinder has a drainage section, the drainage port is provided on the outer peripheral sidewall of the drainage section and the opening direction of the drainage port is towards the side of the drainage section.
[0009] By providing a drainage section at the bottom of the second processing cylinder and placing the drain outlet on the outer peripheral sidewall of the drainage section, water inside the second processing cylinder can flow into the drainage section under gravity and then be discharged through the drain outlet. Therefore, without the need for a water pump or other driving components, water inside the second processing cylinder can be discharged through the drain outlet, which simplifies the structure of the cylinder assembly and reduces its cost.
[0010] Optionally, the drainage section includes a downwardly protruding trough, the drainage section has a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite to each other in the left-right direction, and the drainage outlet is formed in at least one of the first sidewall and the second sidewall.
[0011] By setting a downward-protruding settling trough in the drainage section, the water in the second treatment cylinder can flow into the settling trough under the action of gravity, thus avoiding water accumulation in the second treatment cylinder.
[0012] Optionally, the bottom of the second processing cylinder has a drainage section, and the bottom wall / or side wall of the drainage section is provided with a through hole; the cylinder assembly further includes a drain pipe interface, the drain pipe interface is connected to the through hole and the drain pipe interface extends in a horizontal direction, at least one port of the drain pipe interface constitutes the drain outlet, and the horizontal direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction.
[0013] By setting up a drain pipe interface, it is easy to connect the drain pipe to the drain outlet, thereby facilitating the installation and fixing of the cylinder assembly.
[0014] Optionally, the drain pipe interface extends in the left-right direction.
[0015] By setting the drain pipe interface to extend in the left and right direction, the drain pipe can be connected to the drain pipe interface on one side of the cylinder assembly in the left and right directions, which further facilitates the installation and fixing of the cylinder assembly.
[0016] Optionally, there are multiple drain pipe interfaces, and at least two drain outlets of the multiple drain pipe interfaces face the two sides of the second processing cylinder respectively.
[0017] By setting multiple drain pipe interfaces, water in the second treatment cylinder can be discharged through multiple drain pipes, which helps to improve the drainage efficiency of the second treatment cylinder.
[0018] Optionally, the second processing cylinder includes a second left processing cylinder and a second right processing cylinder, which are spaced apart in the left-right direction.
[0019] By configuring the second processing cylinder to include a second left processing cylinder and a second right processing cylinder, the cylinder assembly comprises multiple processing cylinders, which can operate simultaneously or at different times, and their functions can be the same or different. This allows the cylinder assembly to integrate more functions and more operating modes, thereby improving the functional versatility of the cylinder assembly.
[0020] Optionally, the drain outlet of the second left processing cylinder faces left and the drain outlet of the second right processing cylinder faces right; or, the drain outlet of the second left processing cylinder faces right and the drain outlet of the second right processing cylinder faces left.
[0021] By setting the drain outlet of the second left processing cylinder to face left, the drain pipe is connected to the drain outlet on the left side of the second left processing cylinder. Similarly, by setting the drain outlet of the second right processing cylinder to face right, the drain pipe is connected to the drain outlet on the right side of the second right processing cylinder. This allows for connections of the drain pipes and drain outlets within a larger operating space, further facilitating the installation of the cylinder components. Furthermore, by setting the drain outlet of the second left processing cylinder to face right, the drain pipe connected to the second left processing cylinder is closer to the second right processing cylinder; conversely, by setting the drain outlet of the second right processing cylinder to face left, the drain pipe connected to the second right processing cylinder is closer to the second left processing cylinder. This facilitates the convergence of the drain pipes from the second left and second right processing cylinders, saving space in the drainage pipe layout.
[0022] Optionally, the drain outlet of the second left processing cylinder faces the same direction as the drain outlet of the second right processing cylinder.
[0023] By setting the drain outlet orientation of the second left processing cylinder to be the same as that of the second right processing cylinder, the structures of the second left and right processing cylinders can be made identical. This allows the second left and right processing cylinders to be manufactured using the same mold, reducing the production and installation costs of the cylinder assembly.
[0024] Optionally, both the second left processing cylinder and the second right processing cylinder have two drain outlets, with the two drain outlets of the second left processing cylinder facing left and right respectively, and the two drain outlets of the second right processing cylinder facing left and right respectively.
[0025] By setting the two drain ports of the second left and second right processing cylinders to face left and right respectively, the structures of the second left and right processing cylinders can be made identical. This allows the second left and right processing cylinders to be manufactured using the same mold, reducing the production and installation costs of the cylinder assembly. Furthermore, when both drain ports are used for drainage simultaneously, the drainage efficiency of the second processing cylinder can be improved, preventing water accumulation within the cylinder.
[0026] Optionally, the second left processing cylinder and the second right processing cylinder are respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the first processing cylinder.
[0027] By placing the second left processing cylinder and the second right processing cylinder on the left and right sides of the first processing cylinder respectively, the layout of the second left processing cylinder, the second right processing cylinder and the first processing cylinder is compact, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the cylinder assembly.
[0028] Optionally, the highest point of the first processing cylinder is higher than the lowest point of the second left processing cylinder and the lowest point of the second right processing cylinder.
[0029] By setting the highest point of the first processing cylinder to be higher than the lowest point of the second left processing cylinder and the lowest point of the second right processing cylinder, the layout of the first and second processing cylinders is more reasonable, which is conducive to further reducing the space occupied by the cylinder assembly.
[0030] Optionally, the openings of the retrieval ports of the second left processing cylinder, the second right processing cylinder, and the first processing cylinder face forward.
[0031] By setting the opening direction of the retrieval ports of the second left processing cylinder, the second right processing cylinder, and the first processing cylinder to face forward, it is convenient for users to put clothes into the cylinder assembly and to take clothes out of the cylinder assembly.
[0032] Optionally, the second left processing cylinder and the second right processing cylinder are symmetrical about the first processing cylinder.
[0033] By symmetrically arranging the second left and second right processing cylinders about the first processing cylinder, the structures and dimensions of the second left and second right processing cylinders are roughly the same, which facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the cylinder assembly.
[0034] Optionally, the capacity of the second processing cylinder is smaller than the capacity of the first processing cylinder.
[0035] By setting the capacity of the second processing tube to be smaller than that of the first processing tube, the first processing tube can process more clothes. The first processing tube is heavier, which makes the center of gravity of the tube assembly closer to the lower side, which helps to improve the operational stability of the tube assembly.
[0036] This disclosure also proposes a garment processing device.
[0037] The garment processing device disclosed herein includes a housing and a tube assembly, the tube assembly being installed within the housing, and the tube assembly being any of the tube assemblies described above.
[0038] Optionally, the garment processing device includes a drain pipe connected to the drain outlet, the drain pipe extending horizontally at least in a portion adjacent to the drain outlet, the horizontal direction being perpendicular to the vertical direction.
[0039] By extending the drain pipe, at least the portion adjacent to the drain outlet, horizontal movement can be effectively prevented, thus avoiding interference between the drain pipe and the first treatment cylinder and preventing the first treatment cylinder from affecting the drainage of the second treatment cylinder.
[0040] Optionally, the drain pipe extends in the left-right direction at least in the portion adjacent to the drain outlet.
[0041] By extending the drain pipe, at least the portion adjacent to the drain outlet, in the left-right direction, the drain pipe and drain outlet can be connected on one side of the cylinder assembly in the left-right direction, facilitating the installation and fixation of the garment processing equipment.

[0054] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, with examples of these embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting it.
[0055] In related technologies, the drainage direction of the lower treatment cylinder can be directly set downwards. However, there is usually insufficient space between the upper and lower treatment cylinders, making drainage difficult for the upper treatment cylinder. Therefore, how to drain water from the upper treatment cylinder is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved.
[0056] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the cylinder assembly 100 of this embodiment includes a first processing cylinder 1 and a second processing cylinder 2. The second processing cylinder 2 is disposed above the first processing cylinder 1 and has a drain outlet 2221 that drains water laterally.
[0057] The cylinder assembly 100 of this disclosure solves the drainage problem of the second processing cylinder 2 by placing the second processing cylinder 2 above the first processing cylinder 1 and setting the drain port 2221 of the second processing cylinder 2 to drain to the side, thereby avoiding the difficulty of drainage of the second processing cylinder 2 due to insufficient space between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2.
[0058] In some embodiments, the opening direction of the drain outlet 2221 is parallel to the horizontal direction or forms a preset angle with the horizontal direction, and the horizontal direction is perpendicular to the up and down direction.
[0059] The horizontal direction can be any direction perpendicular to the vertical direction. For example, the horizontal direction can be the left-right direction, the front-back direction, or other directions that are perpendicular to the vertical direction and have an acute angle with the left-right direction.
[0060] The opening direction of the drain outlet 2221 forms a preset angle with the horizontal direction, which can be understood as: the opening direction of the drain outlet 2221 forms a preset angle with the horizontal plane, for example, the opening direction of the drain outlet 2221 is downward to the left, downward to the right, downward to the front, or downward to the back, etc.
[0061] By setting the opening direction of the drain outlet 2221 to be parallel to the horizontal direction or at a preset angle to the horizontal direction, the first treatment cylinder 1 can be more effectively prevented from affecting the drainage of the second treatment cylinder 2.
[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the second processing cylinder 2 has a drainage section 22, and a drainage port 2221 is provided on the outer peripheral side wall of the drainage section 22, with the opening direction of the drainage port 2221 facing the side of the drainage section 22.
[0063] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drain outlet 2221 faces the left or right side of the drain section 22.
[0064] By providing a drainage section 22 at the bottom of the second processing cylinder 2 and placing a drain outlet 2221 on the outer peripheral sidewall of the drainage section 22, water inside the second processing cylinder 2 can flow into the drainage section 22 under gravity and then be discharged through the drain outlet 2221. Therefore, without the need for a water pump or other driving components, water inside the second processing cylinder 2 can be discharged through the drain outlet 2221, which simplifies the structure of the cylinder assembly 100 and reduces its cost.
[0065] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the drainage section 22 includes a downwardly protruding recess 221. The drainage section 22 has a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite to each other in the left-right direction, and a drain outlet 2221 is formed in at least one of the first sidewall and the second sidewall.
[0066] By providing a downwardly protruding settling trough 221 in the drainage section 22, water in the second treatment cylinder 2 can flow into the settling trough 221 under the action of gravity, thus preventing water from accumulating in the second treatment cylinder 2.
[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the bottom of the second processing cylinder 2 has a drainage section 22, and the bottom wall / or side wall of the drainage section 22 is provided with a through hole 2211. The cylinder assembly 100 also includes a drain pipe interface 222, which communicates with the through hole 2211 and extends horizontally. At least one port of the drain pipe interface 222 constitutes a drain outlet 2221.
[0068] For example, such as Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the bottom wall of the drainage section 22 is provided with a through hole 2211, the drainage pipe interface 222 extends in the left and right direction, and one port of the drainage pipe interface 222 in the left and right direction is connected to the through hole 2211, and the other port of the drainage pipe interface 222 in the left and right direction constitutes the drain outlet 2221.
[0069] By setting up a drain pipe interface 222, it is convenient to connect the drain pipe to the drain outlet 2221, thereby facilitating the installation and fixing of the cylinder assembly 100.
[0070] Optionally, such as Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the drain pipe interface 222 extends in the left and right directions.
[0071] By setting the drain pipe interface 222 to extend in the left and right direction, the drain pipe can be connected to the drain pipe interface 222 on one side of the cylinder assembly 100 in the left and right direction, which further facilitates the installation and fixing of the cylinder assembly 100.
[0072] Optionally, such as Figure 5As shown, there are multiple drain pipe interfaces 222, and at least two drain outlets 2221 of the multiple drain pipe interfaces 222 face the two sides of the second treatment cylinder 2 respectively.
[0073] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the two drain outlets 2221 face the left and right sides of the second treatment cylinder 2, respectively.
[0074] By setting multiple drain pipe interfaces 222, water in the second treatment cylinder 2 can be discharged through multiple drain pipes, which helps to improve the drainage efficiency of the second treatment cylinder 2.
[0075] In some embodiments, the second processing cylinder 2 includes a second left processing cylinder 201 and a second right processing cylinder 202, which are spaced apart in the left-right direction.
[0076] For example, such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the second left processing cylinder 201 is disposed to the left of the second right processing cylinder 202, and there is a gap between the second left processing cylinder 201 and the second right processing cylinder 202.
[0077] By configuring the second processing cylinder 2 to include a second left processing cylinder 201 and a second right processing cylinder 202, the cylinder assembly 100 includes multiple processing cylinders, which can operate simultaneously or at different times, and their functions can be the same or different. This allows the cylinder assembly 100 to integrate more functions and more operating modes, thereby improving the functional versatility of the cylinder assembly 100.
[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second left processing cylinder 201 and the second right processing cylinder 202 each have two drain ports 2221. The two drain ports 2221 of the second left processing cylinder 201 face left and right respectively, and the two drain ports 2221 of the second right processing cylinder 202 face left and right respectively.
[0079] When the second left treatment cylinder 201 drains water, both drain ports 2221 of the second left treatment cylinder 201 are used for drainage; or, only one of the two drain ports 2221 of the second left treatment cylinder 201 is used for drainage, and the other is sealed with a plug or the like. When the second right treatment cylinder 202 drains water, both drain ports 2221 of the second right treatment cylinder 202 are used for drainage; or, only one of the two drain ports 2221 of the second right treatment cylinder 202 is used for drainage, and the other is sealed with a plug or the like.
[0080] By setting the two drain ports 2221 of the second left processing cylinder 201 and the second right processing cylinder 202 to face left and right respectively, the structures of the second left processing cylinder 201 and the second right processing cylinder 202 can be made identical. This allows the second left processing cylinder 201 and the second right processing cylinder 202 to be manufactured using the same mold, reducing the production and installation costs of the cylinder assembly 100. Furthermore, when both drain ports 2221 are used for drainage simultaneously, the drainage efficiency of the second processing cylinder 2 can be improved, preventing water accumulation in the second processing cylinder 2.
[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the drain outlet 2221 of the second left processing cylinder 201 faces left, and the drain outlet 2221 of the second right processing cylinder 202 faces right.
[0082] It is understandable that the operating space between the second left processing cylinder 201 and the second right processing cylinder 202 is relatively small, while the left side of the second left processing cylinder 201 and the right side of the second right processing cylinder 202 have a larger operating space.
[0083] By setting the drain outlet 2221 of the second left processing cylinder 201 to face left, the drain pipe is connected to the drain outlet 2221 on the left side of the second left processing cylinder 201. By setting the drain outlet 2221 of the second right processing cylinder 202 to face right, the drain pipe is connected to the drain outlet 2221 on the right side of the second right processing cylinder 202. This allows for the connection of the drain pipe and drain outlet 2221 within a larger operating space, further facilitating the installation of the cylinder assembly 100.
[0084] When the second left treatment cylinder 201 and the second right treatment cylinder 202 are draining water, the drain pipes of the second left treatment cylinder 201 and the second right treatment cylinder 202 can be combined together and then drained through the same pipeline, saving the space required for the layout of the drainage pipeline.
[0085] In other embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the drain outlet 2221 of the second left processing cylinder 201 faces to the right, and the drain outlet 2221 of the second right processing cylinder 202 faces to the left.
[0086] By setting the drain outlet of the second left processing cylinder 201 to face right, the drain pipe connected to the second left processing cylinder 201 is closer to the second right processing cylinder 202. By setting the drain outlet of the second right processing cylinder 202 to face left, the drain pipe connected to the second right processing cylinder 202 is closer to the second left processing cylinder 201. This facilitates the convergence of the drain pipes of the second left processing cylinder 201 and the second right processing cylinder 202, saving space for the layout of the drain pipes.
[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8As shown, the drain outlet 2221 of the second left processing cylinder 201 faces the same direction as the drain outlet 2221 of the second right processing cylinder 202.
[0088] For example, such as Figure 8 As shown, the drain outlet 2221 of the second left processing cylinder 201 faces to the right, and the drain outlet 2221 of the second right processing cylinder 202 also faces to the right. Of course, the drain outlet 2221 of the second left processing cylinder 201 can also face to the left, and the drain outlet 2221 of the second right processing cylinder 202 can also face to the left.
[0089] By setting the orientation of the drain outlet 2221 of the second left processing cylinder 201 and the drain outlet 2221 of the second right processing cylinder 202 to be the same, the structures of the second left processing cylinder 201 and the second right processing cylinder 202 can be made identical. This allows the second left processing cylinder 201 and the second right processing cylinder 202 to be manufactured using the same mold, reducing the production and installation costs of the cylinder assembly 100.
[0090] Optionally, the second left processing cylinder 201 and the second right processing cylinder 202 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the first processing cylinder 1.
[0091] Both the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2 include an outer drum and an inner drum, and can be used for washing or drying. When the first processing drum 1 is used for washing, its inner drum is referred to as the washing drum, and its outer drum is the water-holding drum. When the second processing drum 2 is used for washing, its inner drum is referred to as the washing drum, and its outer drum is the water-holding drum.
[0092] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second left processing cylinder 201 is located to the left of the first processing cylinder 1, and the second right processing cylinder 202 is located to the right of the first processing cylinder 1.
[0093] By placing the second left processing cylinder 201 and the second right processing cylinder 202 on the left and right sides of the first processing cylinder 1 respectively, the layout of the second left processing cylinder 201, the second right processing cylinder 202 and the first processing cylinder 1 is compact, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the cylinder assembly 100.
[0094] Optionally, the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1 is higher than the lowest point of the second left processing cylinder 201 and the lowest point of the second right processing cylinder 202.
[0095] The highest point of the first processing cylinder 1 is higher than the lowest point of the second left processing cylinder 201, which can be understood as the second left processing cylinder 201 being located directly above or diagonally above the first processing cylinder 1; or in other words, at least a portion of the second left processing cylinder 201 is positioned higher than the first processing cylinder 1. Similarly, the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1 is higher than the lowest point of the second right processing cylinder 202, which can be understood as the second right processing cylinder 202 being located directly above or diagonally above the first processing cylinder 1; or in other words, at least a portion of the second right processing cylinder 202 is positioned higher than the first processing cylinder 1.
[0096] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1 is point c, the lowest point of the second left processing cylinder 201 is point a, and the lowest point of the second right processing cylinder 202 is point b. Point c is higher than points a and b. Point a can be the drainage section 22 of the second left processing cylinder 201, and point b can be the drainage section 22 of the second right processing cylinder 202.
[0097] By setting the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1 to be higher than the lowest point of the second left processing cylinder 201 and the lowest point of the second right processing cylinder 202, the layout of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2 is more reasonable, which is conducive to further reducing the space occupied by the cylinder assembly 100.
[0098] Optionally, the opening direction of the retrieval port of the second left processing cylinder 201, the second right processing cylinder 202 and the first processing cylinder 1 is forward.
[0099] By setting the opening direction of the retrieval ports of the second left processing cylinder 201, the second right processing cylinder 202 and the first processing cylinder 1 to face forward, it is convenient for users to put clothes into the cylinder assembly 100 and to take clothes out of the cylinder assembly 100.
[0100] Optionally, the second left processing cylinder 201 and the second right processing cylinder 202 are symmetrical about the first processing cylinder 1.
[0101] The second left processing cylinder 201 and the second right processing cylinder 202 are arranged symmetrically about the first processing cylinder 1, which can be understood as: the second left processing cylinder 201 and the second right processing cylinder 202 are arranged symmetrically about a vertical plane passing through the axis of the first processing cylinder 1.
[0102] By symmetrically arranging the second left processing cylinder 201 and the second right processing cylinder 202 about the first processing cylinder 1, the structure and size of the second left processing cylinder 201 and the second right processing cylinder 202 are substantially the same, which facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the cylinder assembly 100.
[0103] Optionally, the capacity of the second processing cylinder 2 is smaller than the capacity of the first processing cylinder 1.
[0104] For example, the first processing cylinder 1 includes a first processing chamber 11, and the second processing cylinder 2 includes a second processing chamber 21, the capacity of the second processing chamber 21 being smaller than the capacity of the first processing chamber 11.
[0105] Here, capacity can be understood as volume or capacity. For example, the capacity of the first processing cavity 11 refers to the volume or capacity of the first processing cavity 11; the capacity of the second processing cavity 21 refers to the volume or capacity of the second processing cavity 21.
[0106] By setting the capacity of the second processing cylinder 2 to be smaller than that of the first processing cylinder 1, the first processing cylinder 1 can process more clothes. The first processing cylinder 1 is heavier, which makes the center of gravity of the cylinder assembly 100 closer to the lower side, which is beneficial to improving the operational stability of the cylinder assembly 100.
[0107] The garment processing device of this disclosure includes a housing and a tube assembly 100, the tube assembly 100 being installed inside the housing, and the tube assembly 100 being the tube assembly 100 described in any of the above embodiments.
[0108] Among them, clothing processing equipment can be washing machines or sweeping and cleaning devices with drying and washing functions.
[0109] Optionally, the garment handling device includes a drain pipe connected to a drain outlet 2221, and at least a portion of the drain pipe adjacent to the drain outlet 2221 extends horizontally.
[0110] For example, the drain pipe is connected to the drain pipe interface 222 to achieve the connection between the drain pipe and the drain outlet 2221.
[0111] By extending the drain pipe at least in the horizontal direction near the drain outlet 2221, interference between the drain pipe and the first treatment cylinder 1 can be effectively avoided, and the first treatment cylinder 1 can be effectively prevented from affecting the drainage of the second treatment cylinder 2.
[0112] Optionally, the drain pipe extends in the left-right direction at least in the portion adjacent to the drain outlet 2221.
[0113] By extending the drain pipe at least in the left-right direction near the drain outlet 2221, the drain pipe and the drain outlet 2221 can be connected on one side of the cylinder assembly 100 in the left-right direction, which facilitates the installation and fixing of the garment processing equipment.
[0114] Although embodiments of the present disclosure have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure. Any changes, modifications, substitutions and variations made to the above embodiments by those skilled in the art are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
