Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of clothing processing equipment, specifically, to a clothing 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 process different types of clothing separately. However, the structural arrangement of these multiple processing drums is unreasonable, resulting in low space utilization within the machine casing and a large space occupation. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0004] Therefore, embodiments of this utility model propose a clothing processing device with a compact structure and small footprint.

[0005] The garment processing device of this utility model includes: a housing, a first processing cylinder, a second processing cylinder, and a third processing cylinder. The first processing cylinder, the second processing cylinder, and the third processing cylinder are all disposed inside the housing. The second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder are located above the first processing cylinder. The second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder are spaced apart in the left-right direction. At least some components of the garment processing device are located between the second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder.

[0006] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the clothing processing device is provided with a first processing cylinder, a second processing cylinder, and a third processing cylinder. Different clothes or other items to be processed can be classified and placed into the first processing cylinder, the second processing cylinder, and the third processing cylinder for processing. Since at least some components of the clothing processing device are located between the second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder, the space between the second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder can be fully utilized, so that the structure of the whole machine is more compact and occupies less space.

[0007] In some embodiments, the second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder are located on the left and right sides of the first processing cylinder, respectively, and are arranged symmetrically from left to right. This results in a more regular and aesthetically pleasing overall structure for the three processing cylinders, and also ensures that the center of gravity of the garment processing equipment is roughly located in the middle of the machine, thus improving the stability of the garment processing equipment during operation.

[0008] In some embodiments, the capacity of either the second or third processing cylinder is smaller than that of the first processing cylinder, thereby lowering the center of gravity of the cylinder assembly and making the garment processing equipment more stable during operation. The inlets of the first, second, and third processing cylinders are all arranged facing forward, which facilitates daily use by the user.

[0009] In some embodiments, the garment processing device includes a dispensing module for dispensing detergent, at least a portion of which is located between the second processing drum and the third processing drum. The dispensing module of the garment processing device in this embodiment is arranged in the above manner, which improves the space utilization within the casing and makes the arrangement of components within the garment processing device more compact.

[0010] In some embodiments, the dispensing module includes a liquid guide tank and a liquid storage box. The liquid guide tank is located between the second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder and extends in a front-to-back direction. The liquid storage box is connected to the liquid guide tank. By arranging the dispensing module in the above-described structure, the clothing processing device of this embodiment facilitates the user in adding detergent to the liquid storage box and utilizes the space between the second and third processing cylinders, thus improving space utilization.

[0011] In some embodiments, the liquid storage box is located behind at least one of the second and third processing cylinders, and part or all of the liquid storage box can be arranged within the component accommodating space, thereby further reducing the space occupied by the dispensing module within the housing and making the component arrangement within the housing more compact. Alternatively, at least a portion of the liquid storage box is located between the second and third processing cylinders. This allows the liquid storage box to utilize the space behind the second and third processing cylinders, which helps to reduce the overall height dimension of the machine.

[0012] In some embodiments, the garment processing equipment includes a drying module connected to at least one of the first, second, and third processing drums, with at least a portion of the drying module located between the second and third processing drums. This allows the drying module to utilize the space between the second and third processing drums, resulting in a more compact arrangement of components within the garment processing equipment.

[0013] In some embodiments, the drying module includes a fan and a drying tunnel, the drying tunnel being located between the second and third processing cylinders and extending in a front-to-back direction, and communicating with the fan. The drying tunnel heats the airflow, which is then guided through the tunnel to the first, second, or third processing cylinder. Because the drying tunnel is located within the component housing space and extends in a front-to-back direction, the space between the second and third processing cylinders can be utilized, resulting in a more rational layout of the components.

[0014] In some embodiments, the fan is located behind or above at least one of the second and third processing cylinders. This allows the fan to utilize the space behind or above the second and third processing cylinders, improving the rationality of the fan's layout within the casing, resulting in a compact structure and high space utilization.

[0015] In some embodiments, the garment processing device includes a shower pipe and / or a water inlet pipe, at least one of which is in communication with at least one of the first processing cylinder, the second processing cylinder, and the third processing cylinder, and at least a portion of the shower pipe and the water inlet pipe is located between the second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder. Thus, the shower pipe and / or the water inlet pipe can utilize the space between the second and third processing cylinders, allowing for a more compact arrangement of components within the garment processing device.

[0016] In some embodiments, one end of the shower pipe is connected to a water inlet valve, and the other end of the shower pipe has two branches, which are respectively connected to the second treatment cylinder and the third treatment cylinder. Because the two branches of the shower pipe are connected to the second and third treatment cylinders respectively, the number of pipes can be reduced, and the uniformity of water distribution in the shower pipe can be improved.

[0017] In some embodiments, one end of the inlet pipe is connected to an inlet valve, and the other end of the inlet pipe has two branches, which are respectively connected to the second treatment cylinder and the third treatment cylinder. Because the two branches of the inlet pipe are connected to the second and third treatment cylinders respectively, the number of pipes can be reduced, and the balance of water distribution in the inlet pipe can be improved.

[0018] In some embodiments, the garment processing equipment includes an electronic control module, at least a portion of which is located between the second and third processing drums. This allows the electronic control module to utilize the space between the second and third processing drums, resulting in a more compact arrangement of components within the garment processing equipment.

[0019] In some embodiments, the electronic control module includes a control board and a display screen. The control board is disposed between the second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder, and the display screen is disposed on the front wall of the housing and electrically connected to the control board. The display screen is located between the retrieval ports of the second and third processing cylinders. This allows the control board to utilize the space between the second and third processing cylinders, and the close proximity of the control board and the display screen reduces the number of electrical wiring paths and minimizes electrical safety risks.

[0020] In some embodiments, the garment processing equipment includes a sterilization module and a vibration damper, with at least a portion of at least one of the sterilization module and the vibration damper located between the second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder. Thus, the sterilization module and the vibration damper can utilize the space between the second and third processing cylinders, allowing for a more compact arrangement of components within the garment processing equipment.

[0021] In some embodiments, the garment processing device further includes a fixing frame connected between the second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder. The highest point of the fixing frame is lower than the highest point of either the second or third processing cylinder. At least some components of the garment processing device are located within the area enclosed by the upper surface of the fixing frame, the side wall of the second processing cylinder, and the side wall of the third processing cylinder. This ensures both the stability of the connection between the second and third processing cylinders and allows for the utilization of the space between them.

[0022] In some embodiments, the fixing frame is integrally formed with the second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder. This reduces the number of components required for assembly, improves assembly efficiency, and results in higher structural strength and better stability.

[0023] In some embodiments, the arcuate curve passing through the lowest point of the second processing cylinder, the lowest point of the mounting bracket, and the lowest point of the third processing cylinder protrudes upwards in a direction away from the first processing cylinder. This allows the bottom surface of the mounting bracket to avoid interference between the upper structure of the first processing cylinder and the mounting bracket during assembly.

[0024] In some embodiments, the garment processing device further includes a first counterweight, a second counterweight, and a third counterweight. The first counterweight is disposed between the second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder. The second counterweight is disposed on the side of the second processing cylinder opposite to the third processing cylinder, and the third counterweight is disposed on the side of the third processing cylinder opposite to the second processing cylinder. Under the gravity of the first, second, and third counterweights, the vibration amplitude of the second and third processing cylinders is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the noise generated during the operation of the garment processing device, resulting in good vibration reduction and noise reduction effects.

[0025] In some embodiments, the garment processing device further includes a first counterweight block disposed between the second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder. At least a portion of the components of the garment processing device are located within the area enclosed by the upper surface of the first counterweight block, the side wall of the second processing cylinder, and the side wall of the third processing cylinder. This avoids interference between the upper end of the first counterweight block and the components between the first and second processing cylinders, and also improves the vibration and noise reduction effect of the garment processing device.

[0041] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0042] The following is a reference appendix. Figures 1 to 5 This invention describes a garment processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the garment processing device of this utility model embodiment includes: a housing 9, a first processing cylinder 1, a second processing cylinder 2, and a third processing cylinder 3. The first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3 are all disposed inside the housing 9. The second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are located above the first processing cylinder 1. The second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are spaced apart in the left-right direction. At least some of the components in the garment processing device are located between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3.

[0044] In other words, the areas separated by the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 can form the component accommodating space 4.

[0045] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the clothing processing device is provided with a first processing cylinder 1, a second processing cylinder 2, and a third processing cylinder 3. Different clothes or other items to be processed can be classified and placed into the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3 for processing. Since the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are spaced apart to form a component accommodating space 4, some components of the clothing processing device can be placed in the component accommodating space 4. This makes full use of the space between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3, so that the structure of the whole machine is more compact and occupies less space.

[0046] It should be noted that the component accommodating space 4 can accommodate one or more components of the garment processing equipment. Furthermore, the components of the garment processing equipment may be entirely located within the component accommodating space 4, or only partially located within it; this utility model does not impose any limitations on this.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the highest points of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are higher than the highest point of the first processing cylinder 1. The second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are located diagonally above the first processing cylinder 1, rather than directly above it.

[0048] For example, the second processing cylinder 2 is located to the upper left of the first processing cylinder 1, and the third processing cylinder 3 is located to the upper right of the first processing cylinder 1, so that the second processing cylinder 2 can utilize the space to the upper left and upper right of the first processing cylinder 1.

[0049] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are located on the left and right sides of the first processing cylinder 1, respectively, and are arranged symmetrically from left to right. For example, the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are symmetrical about a vertical plane passing through the axis of the first processing cylinder 1, or, for another example, the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are symmetrical about a vertical plane passing through the center of the housing 9.

[0050] This allows the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 to be roughly at the same horizontal height, and the distances of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 from the axis of the first processing cylinder 1 in the left-right direction are roughly equal. On the one hand, this makes the structure of the garment processing equipment more regular; on the other hand, it allows the center of gravity of the garment processing equipment to be roughly located in the middle position of the garment processing equipment, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the garment processing equipment during operation.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are the same size and shape. Therefore, during the assembly process of the garment processing equipment, the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 do not need to prepare their own materials, that is, the materials of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are interchangeable, thereby reducing production costs and facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0052] In other examples, the size and shape of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 may also be different, and this utility model does not limit this.

[0053] For example, the axes of the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3 are all parallel to each other, and the retrieval ports of the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3 are all arranged facing forward, which facilitates daily use by the user.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the capacity of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are both smaller than the capacity of the first processing cylinder, which helps to lower the center of gravity of the clothing processing equipment, making the clothing processing equipment more stable when it is working.

[0055] In this example of the present invention, the clothing processing device can be a washing machine, a dryer, or a washer-dryer combo. Accordingly, any one of the first processing drum 1, the second processing drum 2, and the third processing drum 3 can be used to dry or wash clothes, or any one of the first processing drum 1, the second processing drum 2, and the third processing drum 3 can both dry and wash clothes.

[0056] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the garment processing equipment includes a dispensing module 51 for dispensing detergent, at least a portion of which is located between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 (i.e., within the component receiving space 4). For example, the dispensing module 51 may be entirely located within the component receiving space 4. Alternatively, a portion of the dispensing module 51 may be located within the component receiving space 4, while another portion may be located above or behind the component receiving space 4.

[0057] The dispensing module 51 of the garment processing device in this embodiment of the present invention is arranged in the above manner. On the one hand, it can improve the space utilization rate inside the housing 9, making the arrangement of components inside the garment processing device more compact. On the other hand, since the dispensing module 51 is located between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3, the distance between the dispensing module 51 and the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 can be made approximately equal. Consequently, the extension paths of the liquid guiding pipes connecting the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 to the dispensing module 51 are also approximately equal, thereby making the distribution of washing liquid in the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 more balanced.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the dispensing module 51 includes a liquid guiding tank 511 and a liquid storage box 512. The liquid guiding tank 511 is located between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 (i.e., within the component accommodating space 4) and extends in the front-to-back direction. The liquid storage box 512 is connected to the liquid guiding tank 511. It is understood that the liquid guiding tank 511 can guide the washing liquid into the liquid storage box 512. The top plate or front panel of the housing 9 can be provided with a liquid inlet communicating with the liquid guiding tank 511, and the liquid storage box 512 is located at the rear end of the liquid guiding tank 511. By adopting the above-described structure, the clothing processing device of this embodiment of the present invention allows users to easily add detergent to the liquid storage box 512 and utilizes the space between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3, thus improving space utilization.

[0059] For example, at least a portion of the liquid storage box 512 is located between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 (i.e., within the component receiving space 4). In other words, some or all of the liquid storage box 512 can be arranged within the component receiving space 4, thereby further reducing the space occupied by the dispensing module 51 within the housing 9, making the component arrangement within the housing 9 more compact.

[0060] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the liquid storage box 512 is located on the rear side of at least one of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. Figure 5 As shown, the axial lengths of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are both less than the axial length of the first processing cylinder 1. Since the front ends of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are aligned with the front end of the first processing cylinder 1, a certain space is left between the rear sides of the second processing cylinder 2 and the rear wall of the housing 9. The liquid storage box 512 is located on the rear side of at least one of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3, allowing utilization of the space behind the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3, which helps to reduce the overall height dimension of the machine.

[0061] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the garment processing equipment includes a drying module 52, which is connected to at least one of the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3. At least a portion of the drying module 52 is located between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 (i.e., within the component receiving space 4). Thus, the drying module 52 can utilize the space between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3, making the component arrangement within the garment processing equipment more compact.

[0062] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the drying module 52 includes a fan 522 and a drying tunnel 521. The drying tunnel 521 is located within the component receiving space 4 and extends in the front-to-back direction, and is connected to the fan 522. It is understood that the drying tunnel 521 is equipped with heating pipes. The fan 522 can guide airflow into the drying tunnel 521, which can heat the airflow. The heated airflow is then guided through the drying tunnel 521 to the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, or the third processing cylinder 3. Because the drying tunnel 521 is located within the component receiving space 4 and extends in the front-to-back direction, the space between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 can be utilized, resulting in a more rational layout of the components.

[0063] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the fan 522 is located on the rear or upper side of at least one of the second treatment cylinder 2 and the third treatment cylinder 3. Figure 5As shown, the axial lengths of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are both less than the axial length of the first processing cylinder 1. Since the front ends of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are aligned with the front end of the first processing cylinder 1, a certain space is left between the rear sides of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 and the rear wall of the casing 9. Therefore, the fan 522 can utilize the space behind or above the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 to improve the rationality of the fan 522's layout within the casing 9, resulting in a compact structure and high space utilization.

[0064] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the garment processing equipment includes a shower pipe 53, which is connected to at least one of the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3. The shower pipe 53 can fill the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3 with clean water or detergent. At least a portion of the shower pipe 53 is located within the component receiving space 4. Therefore, the shower pipe 53 can utilize the space between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3, resulting in a more compact arrangement of components within the garment processing equipment. The shower pipe 53 extends between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 in a front-to-back direction.

[0065] Optionally, one end of the shower pipe 53 is connected to an inlet valve (not shown), and the other end of the shower pipe 53 has two branches, which are respectively connected to the second treatment cylinder 2 and the third treatment cylinder 3. It can be understood that the shower pipe 53 is generally Y-shaped, with its two branches connected to the second treatment cylinder 2 and the third treatment cylinder 3. This reduces the number of pipes and improves the uniformity of water distribution in the shower pipe 53.

[0066] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the garment processing equipment includes a water inlet pipe 55, which is connected to at least one of the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3. The water inlet pipe 55 can fill the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3 with clean water. At least a portion of the water inlet pipe 55 is located within the component receiving space 4. Therefore, the water inlet pipe 55 can utilize the space between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3, allowing for a more compact arrangement of components within the garment processing equipment. The water inlet pipe 55 extends between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 in a front-to-back direction.

[0067] Optionally, one end of the inlet pipe 55 is connected to an inlet valve (not shown), and the other end of the inlet pipe 55 has two branches, which are respectively connected to the second treatment tank 2 and the third treatment tank 3. It can be understood that the inlet pipe 55 is generally Y-shaped, with its two branches connected to the second treatment tank 2 and the third treatment tank 3. This reduces the number of pipes required and improves the balance of water distribution through the inlet pipe 55.

[0068] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the garment processing equipment includes an electronic control module 54, at least a portion of which is located within the component receiving space 4. In one possible embodiment, the electronic control module 54 includes a control board and a display screen. The control board is located within the component receiving space 4, and the display screen is located on the front wall of the housing 9 and electrically connected to the control board. The display screen is positioned between the retrieval ports of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. This allows the control board to utilize the space between the second and third processing cylinders 3, and the proximity of the control board and the display screen reduces the number of electrical wiring paths and minimizes electrical safety risks. In another possible embodiment, the electronic control module 54 includes a control circuit board for electrical components, such as a fan, motor, or water pump.

[0069] In other examples, the garment processing equipment includes a sterilization module (not shown) and a vibration damper (not shown), with at least a portion of at least one of the sterilization module and the vibration damper located within the component receiving space 4. For example, all or part of the sterilization module may be located within the component receiving space 4. Similarly, all or part of the vibration damper may be located within the component receiving space 4. Thus, the sterilization module and the vibration damper can utilize the space between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3, resulting in a more compact arrangement of components within the garment processing equipment.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the garment processing equipment also includes a fixing frame 7, which is connected between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. The highest point of the fixing frame 7 is lower than the highest point of either the second processing cylinder 2 or the third processing cylinder 3. At least some components of the garment processing equipment are located within the area enclosed by the upper surface of the fixing frame 7, the side wall of the second processing cylinder 2, and the side wall of the third processing cylinder 3. That is, the upper surface of the fixing frame 7, the side wall of the second processing cylinder 2, and the side wall of the third processing cylinder 3 together form a component receiving space 4. This ensures the stability of the connection between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3, and also allows for the formation of a component receiving space 4 between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. Furthermore, the components (e.g., the drying module 52, the feeding module 51, the rinsing pipe 53, or the electrical control module 54) are easy to install and remove within the component receiving space 4.

[0071] The fixing frame 7 can constrain the position of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3, which helps to reduce the shaking amplitude of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 during operation, and reduce the noise generated by the clothing processing equipment during operation.

[0072] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the fixing frame 7 can be a grid-like rib structure. The left side of the fixing frame 7 is connected to the outer wall of the second processing cylinder 2, and the right side of the fixing frame 7 is connected to the outer wall of the third processing cylinder 3. This can further improve the stability of the second processing cylinder 2 during operation.

[0073] For example, the fixing frame 7 is integrally formed with the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. This reduces the number of parts to be assembled, which is beneficial to improving assembly efficiency, and also results in high structural strength and good stability.

[0074] Optionally, the arc-shaped curve passing through the lowest point of the second processing cylinder 2, the lowest point of the fixing frame 7, and the lowest point of the third processing cylinder 3 protrudes upward in a direction away from the first processing cylinder 1. It is understood that the bottom surface of the fixing frame 7 can avoid the upper structure of the first processing cylinder 1 to prevent interference between the first processing cylinder 1 and the fixing frame 7 during assembly.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the garment processing equipment also includes a first counterweight 81, a second counterweight 82 and a third counterweight 83. The first counterweight 81 is located between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. The second counterweight 82 is located on the side of the second processing cylinder 2 away from the third processing cylinder 3. The third counterweight 83 is located on the side of the third processing cylinder 3 away from the second processing cylinder 2.

[0076] It is understandable that the first counterweight 81, the second counterweight 82, and the third counterweight 83 are assembled together on the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. When the inner cylinders of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 rotate, the vibration amplitude of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 will be greatly reduced under the gravity of the first counterweight 81, the second counterweight 82, and the third counterweight 83. This can reduce the noise generated when the clothing processing equipment is working, and the vibration reduction and noise reduction effect is good.

[0077] like Figure 3 As shown, the first counterweight 81 is located between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 and is adjacent to the front side of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. The second counterweight 82 is installed on the left side of the second processing cylinder 2 and is adjacent to the front side of the second processing cylinder 2. The third counterweight 83 is installed on the right side of the third processing cylinder 3 and is adjacent to the front side of the third processing cylinder 3. This can make the clothing processing equipment have a better vibration reduction and noise reduction effect.

[0078] Optionally, the first counterweight 81 is positioned between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. At least some components of the garment processing equipment are located within the area enclosed by the upper surface of the first counterweight 81, the side wall of the second processing cylinder 2, and the side wall of the third processing cylinder 3. In other words, the component receiving space 4 is located above the first counterweight 81. In this case, the upper surface of the first counterweight 81 can be flush with or slightly lower than the bottom surface of the component receiving space 4. This avoids interference between the upper end of the first counterweight 81 and the components within the component receiving space 4.

[0079] like Figure 3 As shown, the second counterweight 82 extends vertically, and the side of the second counterweight 82 facing the second processing cylinder 2 has a third arc-shaped surface 821, which is used to match the second processing cylinder 2 or the door seal on the second processing cylinder 2. Because the third arc-shaped surface 821 matches the second processing cylinder 2 or the door seal on the second processing cylinder 2, the fit between the second counterweight 82 and the second processing cylinder 2 or the door seal can be improved. On the one hand, this can reduce the vibration amplitude of the second processing cylinder 2, resulting in better vibration reduction and noise reduction. On the other hand, it can reduce the lateral dimensions of the clothing processing equipment.

[0080] like Figure 3 As shown, the third counterweight 83 extends vertically, and the side of the third counterweight 83 facing the third processing cylinder 3 has a fourth arc-shaped surface 831, which is used to match the third processing cylinder 3 or the door seal on the third processing cylinder 3. Because the fourth arc-shaped surface 831 matches the third processing cylinder 3 or the door seal on the third processing cylinder 3, the fit between the third counterweight 83 and the third processing cylinder 3 or the door seal can be improved. On the one hand, this can reduce the vibration amplitude of the third processing cylinder 3, resulting in better vibration reduction and noise reduction. On the other hand, it can reduce the lateral dimensions of the garment processing equipment.

[0081] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the garment processing device includes a first cover 61, a second cover 62, and a third cover 63. The first cover 61 is located in front of the first processing cylinder 1 and is used to open and close the first processing cylinder 1. The second cover 62 is located in front of the second processing cylinder 2 and is used to open and close the second processing cylinder 2. The third cover 63 is located in front of the third processing cylinder 3 and is used to open and close the third processing cylinder 3. The highest point of the first cover 61 is not higher than the lowest point of the second cover 62 or the lowest point of the third cover 63. It is understood that the opening of any one of the first cover 61, the second cover 62, or the third cover 63 will not interfere with the other two, thereby improving the convenience and flexibility for the user.
