[0034] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For example, although the following embodiments are described in conjunction with a washing machine, the technical solution of the present invention can also be applied to other clothing processing equipment, such as dryers, washer-dryer combos, or garment care machines, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the application do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention and should all be limited to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, terms such as "inner" and "outer" that indicate direction or positional relationship are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0036] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connect," and "install" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0037] Based on the problem of inconvenient movement of existing garment processing equipment pointed out in the background art, this utility model provides a garment processing device that uses an air pump mechanism to move the telescopic part with casters downwards, so that the casters can lift the box, thereby making the garment processing device easy to move by the casters, facilitating the user's movement needs and improving the user experience.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a washing machine, including a cabinet 1 and a conveying device installed at the bottom of the cabinet 1. The conveying device includes casters 2 and an air pump mechanism. The air pump mechanism has a vertically arranged telescopic part. The casters 2 are connected to the bottom end of the telescopic part. The air pump mechanism can make the telescopic part move downward with the casters 2, thereby lifting the cabinet 1.

[0039] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the conveying device of the washing machine of this utility model is installed on the bottom plate 11 of the box 1. The bottom plate 11 is provided with feet 12 at the four corners. The feet 12 are in contact with the ground to support the washing machine and adjust the stability of the washing machine. When the washing machine does not need to be moved, the casters 2 of the conveying device are retracted and the washing machine is supported by the feet 12. When the washing machine needs to be moved, the casters 2 of the conveying device can lift the washing machine so that the feet 12 are off the ground, so that the washing machine can be moved easily by the casters 2.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the air pump mechanism is installed at the bottom of the base plate 11. The telescopic part of the air pump mechanism is set vertically downward. The caster 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the telescopic part. The air pump mechanism can make the telescopic part move downward with the caster 2, so that the caster 2 contacts the ground and lifts the washing machine, thus making it easy to move the washing machine.

[0041] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the form of the air pump mechanism. For example, those skilled in the art can set the air pump mechanism as an air pump 31, with a retractable piston inside the air pump 31, and the telescopic part set on the piston. The telescopic part moves up and down by the air pump 31 drawing in and expelling air. Alternatively, the air pump mechanism can be set as a connected air pump 31 and a cylinder 32, with the telescopic part of the cylinder 32 moving by the air pump 31 filling the cylinder 32 with air. Such adjustments and changes to the specific structural form of the air pump mechanism do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0042] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, the air pump mechanism of this utility model includes an air pump 31, an air cylinder 32 and an air pipe 33. The air cylinder 32 has an air chamber 323. The air pump 31 is connected to the air chamber 323 through the air pipe 33. The telescopic part is provided on the air cylinder 32. The air pump 31 can pump compressed gas into the air chamber 323 through the air pipe 33, thereby causing the telescopic part to move downward with the caster 2.

[0043] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the air pump 31 of this utility model is installed horizontally on the base plate 11, and the cylinder 32 is installed vertically on the base plate 11. The cylinder 32 has an air chamber 323, and the telescopic part is arranged vertically at the bottom of the cylinder 32. The telescopic part can move up and down relative to the cylinder 32. The air pump 31 can pump compressed gas into the air chamber 323 through the air pipe 33. The gas in the air chamber 323 can squeeze the telescopic part, thereby causing the telescopic part and the caster 2 to move downwards in the vertical direction to lift the washing machine, thus facilitating the movement of the washing machine.

[0044] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the form of cylinder 32. For example, those skilled in the art can set cylinder 32 in the form of cylinder body and piston, or cylinder 32 in the form of fixed cylinder 321 and movable cylinder 322, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific structural form of cylinder 32 do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0045] It should also be noted that the air pump 31 of this utility model is equipped with a precision proportional valve, which can control the air pressure input, thereby realizing stepless adjustment of the gas output.

[0046] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cylinder 32 of this utility model includes a fixed cylinder 321 and a movable cylinder 322 that are sealed together. An air chamber 323 is formed between the fixed cylinder 321 and the movable cylinder 322. The movable cylinder 322 can move relative to the fixed cylinder 321 in the vertical direction. The movable cylinder 322 is a telescopic part.

[0047] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the fixed cylinder 321 of this utility model is fixedly installed on the base plate 11 in the vertical direction. The movable cylinder 322 is movably and sealedly connected to the fixed cylinder 321. An air chamber 323 is formed between the movable cylinder 322 and the fixed cylinder 321. The movable cylinder 322 can move up and down relative to the fixed cylinder 321. The movable cylinder 322 is the telescopic part. The air pump 31 can drive the air pump into the air chamber 323, so that the air can squeeze the movable cylinder 322, thereby enabling the movable cylinder 322 and the caster 2 to move downward to lift the washing machine and facilitate the movement of the washing machine.

[0048] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the number of cylinders 32. For example, those skilled in the art can set the number of cylinders 32 to 1, 2 or 4, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific number of cylinders 32 do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0049] It should also be noted that a sealing ring is provided between the movable cylinder 322 and the fixed cylinder 321 of this utility model, which can ensure the sealing of the cylinder 32, prevent air leakage, and ensure the airtightness of the conveying device. Such flexible adjustment and change do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0050] It should also be noted that a sealing airbag can be provided in the air chamber 323 of this utility model. The sealing airbag is in sealed communication with the air pipe 33, which can further ensure the airtightness of the cylinder 32 and prevent air leakage. Such flexible adjustment and change does not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0051] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, the present invention has multiple casters 2 and cylinders 32. Multiple cylinders 32 are arranged at intervals along the horizontal direction at the bottom of the box body 1, and the casters 2 correspond one-to-one with the cylinders 32.

[0052] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the present invention has four cylinders 32, which are spaced apart at the four corners of the base plate 11. Each cylinder 32 has a caster 2 at its bottom. By setting four cylinders 32 and casters 2, the washing machine can be moved more easily.

[0053] Preferably, the present invention has two tracheas 33, which are connected in parallel.

[0054] In other words, the air pump 31 and the cylinder 32 are connected by two parallel air pipes 33. This arrangement allows the device to continue operating even when one air pipe 33 is blocked, thereby improving the reliability of the conveying device.

[0055] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, the clothing processing equipment of this utility model also includes an electric control valve 4, which is installed at the air outlet of the air pump 31 to control the opening and closing of the air pipe 33.

[0056] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the electric control valve 4 of this utility model is installed at the air outlet of the air pump 31. When the washing machine needs to be moved, the electric control valve 4 is turned on, the air pump 31 inflates the cylinder 32, and after the caster 2 lifts the washing machine, the electric control valve 4 is turned off to prevent gas backflow, thereby making the caster 2 more stable. After the washing machine is moved, the electric control valve 4 is turned on to discharge the gas in the cylinder 32.

[0057] It should be noted that an exhaust valve can also be provided on the cylinder 32 of this utility model. By opening the exhaust valve, the gas in the air chamber 323 can be discharged. Such flexible adjustment and change does not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0058] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, a buffer structure 5 is provided between the fixed cylinder 321 and the movable cylinder 322 of this utility model.

[0059] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the buffer structure 5 of this utility model is an integrated corrugated pipe type air pressure buffer layer. When the clothing processing equipment is going down a step, the buffer structure 5 can absorb vibration energy, avoid sudden load changes from causing mechanical impact on the cylinder 32, and improve the service life of the cylinder 32.

[0060] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the type of buffer structure 5. For example, those skilled in the art can also set the buffer structure 5 as a spring or a rubber pad, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific type of buffer structure 5 do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0061] Preferably, the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 321 and the outer wall of the movable cylinder 322 of this utility model are both provided with a lubricating coating.

[0062] For example, the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 321 and the outer wall of the movable cylinder 322 of this utility model are coated with a diamond coating. The diamond coating can reduce the coefficient of friction between the fixed cylinder 321 and the movable cylinder 322 to 0.05 and improve the wear resistance by 3 times.

[0063] Preferably, the caster 2 of this utility model is a silent caster.

[0064] For example, the caster 2 of this utility model is a polyurethane silent wheel. The polyurethane silent wheel has good elasticity and good noise reduction effect, and can effectively absorb the impact energy during the rolling process, thereby improving the noise reduction effect.

[0065] Those skilled in the art will understand that although some embodiments described herein include certain features included in other embodiments but not others, combinations of features from different embodiments are intended to be within the scope of this application and form different embodiments. For example, any of the claimed embodiments in the claims of this application can be used in any combination.

[0066] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
