Description

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202520421945.4, filed on March 11, 2025, entitled "Multi-tub Washing Machine", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] 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

[0003] Currently, users have increasingly higher requirements for the hygiene of clothing processing. They usually need to distinguish the types of clothing and then clean them separately. To improve efficiency, multi-roller clothing processing devices with two or more rollers can be used to clean different types of clothing at the same time.

[0004] However, during operation, there may be mutual interference between different rollers in a multi-roller garment processing device. Furthermore, when different rollers are performing the dehydration process, the overall vibration amplitude of the garment processing device may be large due to the resonance of multiple rollers, which may cause the support frame of the garment processing device to be overloaded and potentially damaged. Utility Model Content

[0005] The garment processing device and combined garment processing equipment provided in this application can reduce the mutual influence between different rollers and extend the service life of the garment processing device.

[0006] The first aspect of this application provides a garment handling apparatus, comprising:

[0007] The enclosure includes:

[0008] front panel;

[0009] The rear panel is spaced apart from the front panel along the depth direction of the housing;

[0010] A first side panel, in the width direction of the housing, is located on the same side of the front panel and the rear panel, and the first side panel is connected between the front panel and the rear panel;

[0011] The second side panel is spaced apart from the first side panel in the width direction of the box body, and the second side panel is connected between the front panel and the rear panel;

[0012] A first roller, disposed within the housing, wherein the distance between the first roller and the second side plate is greater than the distance between the first roller and the first side plate, the first roller comprising:

[0013] first outer cylinder;

[0014] A first inner cylinder is disposed inside the first outer cylinder;

[0015] A second roller, which is arranged side-by-side with the first roller within the housing along the width direction of the housing, wherein the distance between the second roller and the first side plate is greater than the distance between the second roller and the second side plate, and the second roller includes:

[0016] second outer cylinder;

[0017] The second inner cylinder is disposed inside the second outer cylinder;

[0018] The enclosure also includes:

[0019] A frame for supporting the front panel, the rear panel, the first side panel, and the second side panel, wherein the front panel is disposed on the front side of the frame, and the frame includes:

[0020] The first side beam is located between the axis of the first outer cylinder and the first side plate in the width direction of the box body, and above the first outer cylinder and the second outer cylinder in the height direction of the box body. The two ends of the first side beam are respectively connected to the front plate and the rear plate.

[0021] The second side beam is located between the axis of the second outer cylinder and the second side plate in the width direction of the box body, and above the first outer cylinder and the second outer cylinder in the height direction of the box body. The two ends of the second side beam are respectively connected to the front plate and the rear plate.

[0022] The first central beam is located between the axis of the first outer cylinder and the axis of the second outer cylinder in the width direction of the box body, and above the first outer cylinder and the second outer cylinder in the height direction of the box body. The two ends of the first central beam are respectively connected to the front plate and the rear plate.

[0023] The second middle beam is spaced apart from the first middle beam in the width direction of the box body, and the second middle beam is located between the axis of the first middle beam and the second outer cylinder. In the height direction of the box body, the second middle beam is located above the first outer cylinder and the second outer cylinder. The two ends of the second middle beam are respectively connected to the front plate and the rear plate.

[0024] A first suspension spring assembly is used to connect the first side beam and the first outer cylinder;

[0025] The second suspension spring assembly is used to connect the first middle beam and the first outer cylinder;

[0026] The third suspension spring assembly is used to connect the second middle beam and the second outer cylinder;

[0027] The fourth suspension spring assembly is used to connect the second side beam and the second outer cylinder;

[0028] The first side beam and the first middle beam have the same structure, and the second middle beam has the same structure as the second side beam.

[0029] The garment handling device of this application comprises a first side beam, a first central beam, a second central beam, and a second side beam arranged sequentially at intervals. In the width direction of the housing, the first side beam and the first central beam are located on opposite sides of the axis of the first outer cylinder, and the second central beam and the second side beam are located on opposite sides of the axis of the second outer cylinder. The first side beam and the first central beam are connected to the first outer cylinder via a first suspension spring assembly and a second suspension spring assembly, respectively. The second central beam and the second side beam are connected to the second outer cylinder via a third suspension spring assembly and a fourth suspension spring assembly, respectively. Thus, during operation of the garment handling device, the first roller and the second roller are suspended on different central beams, preventing both rollers from acting on the same central beam. This prevents the first and second rollers from transmitting vibrations through the same central beam during operation, thus preventing mutual interference and improving the vibration damping effect of the garment handling device. When only the first roller or the second roller is working, because the first roller and the second roller are suspended on different central beams, the vibration of the working roller cannot be directly transmitted to the other roller through the central beam, reducing the impact of the working roller on the non-working roller. Meanwhile, since the two rollers are suspended by different center beams, the load on the first or second center beam can be reduced, thus reducing the overall load on the frame and lowering the risk of frame loosening or damage, thereby extending the service life of the garment processing device. Furthermore, because the first and second center beams are located between the axes of the first and second rollers, the space between the two rollers can be effectively utilized, making the internal structure of the garment processing device more compact and facilitating miniaturization. Additionally, in structural designs sharing a single center beam, three different injection molds are required to manufacture the two side beams and one center beam. However, in this application, since the first side beam and the first center beam have the same structure, and the second center beam and the second side beam have the same structure, only two injection molds are needed to manufacture the four beams required for the garment processing device. This reduces the types of injection molds required to manufacture the beam structure and saves on the manufacturing cost of the garment processing device.

[0030] A second aspect of this application provides a garment processing apparatus, the garment processing apparatus comprising:

[0031] The enclosure includes:

[0032] front panel;

[0033] The rear panel is spaced apart from the front panel along the depth direction of the housing;

[0034] A first side panel, in the width direction of the housing, is located on the same side of the front panel and the rear panel, and the first side panel is connected between the front panel and the rear panel;

[0035] The second side panel is spaced apart from the first side panel in the width direction of the box body, and the second side panel is connected between the front panel and the rear panel;

[0036] A first roller, disposed within the housing, wherein the distance between the first roller and the second side plate is greater than the distance between the first roller and the first side plate, the first roller comprising:

[0037] first outer cylinder;

[0038] A first inner cylinder is disposed inside the first outer cylinder;

[0039] A second roller, which is arranged side-by-side with the first roller within the housing along the width direction of the housing, wherein the distance between the second roller and the first side plate is greater than the distance between the second roller and the second side plate, and the second roller includes:

[0040] second outer cylinder;

[0041] The second inner cylinder is disposed inside the second outer cylinder;

[0042] The enclosure also includes:

[0043] A frame for supporting the front panel, the rear panel, the first side panel, and the second side panel, wherein the front panel is disposed on the front side of the frame, and the frame includes:

[0044] The first side beam is located between the axis of the first outer cylinder and the first side plate in the width direction of the box body, and above the first outer cylinder and the second outer cylinder in the height direction of the box body. The two ends of the first side beam are respectively connected to the front plate and the rear plate.

[0045] The second side beam is located between the axis of the second outer cylinder and the second side plate in the width direction of the box body, and above the first outer cylinder and the second outer cylinder in the height direction of the box body. The two ends of the second side beam are respectively connected to the front plate and the rear plate.

[0046] The first central beam is located between the axis of the first outer cylinder and the axis of the second outer cylinder in the width direction of the box body, and above the first outer cylinder and the second outer cylinder in the height direction of the box body. The two ends of the first central beam are respectively connected to the front plate and the rear plate.

[0047] The second middle beam is spaced apart from the first middle beam in the width direction of the box body, and the second middle beam is located between the axis of the first middle beam and the second outer cylinder. In the height direction of the box body, the second middle beam is located above the first outer cylinder and the second outer cylinder. The two ends of the second middle beam are respectively connected to the front plate and the rear plate.

[0048] A first suspension spring assembly is used to connect the first side beam and the first outer cylinder;

[0049] The second suspension spring assembly is used to connect the first middle beam and the first outer cylinder;

[0050] The third suspension spring assembly is used to connect the second middle beam and the second outer cylinder;

[0051] The fourth suspension spring assembly is used to connect the second side beam and the second outer cylinder;

[0052] The first side beam and the second middle beam have the same structure, and the first middle beam has the same structure as the second side beam.

[0053] The garment handling device of this application comprises a first side beam, a first central beam, a second central beam, and a second side beam arranged sequentially at intervals. In the width direction of the housing, the first side beam and the first central beam are located on opposite sides of the axis of the first outer cylinder, and the second central beam and the second side beam are located on opposite sides of the axis of the second outer cylinder. The first side beam and the first central beam are connected to the first outer cylinder via a first suspension spring assembly and a second suspension spring assembly, respectively. The second central beam and the second side beam are connected to the second outer cylinder via a third suspension spring assembly and a fourth suspension spring assembly, respectively. Thus, during operation of the garment handling device, the first roller and the second roller are suspended on different central beams, preventing both rollers from acting on the same central beam. This prevents the first and second rollers from transmitting vibrations through the same central beam during operation, thus preventing mutual interference and improving the vibration damping effect of the garment handling device. When only the first roller or the second roller is working, because the first roller and the second roller are suspended on different central beams, the vibration of the working roller cannot be directly transmitted to the other roller through the central beam, reducing the impact of the working roller on the non-working roller. Meanwhile, since the two rollers are suspended by different center beams, the load on the first or second center beam can be reduced, thus reducing the overall load on the frame and lowering the risk of frame loosening or damage, thereby extending the service life of the garment processing device. Furthermore, because the first and second center beams are located between the axes of the first and second rollers, the space between the two rollers can be effectively utilized, making the internal structure of the garment processing device more compact and facilitating miniaturization. Additionally, in structural designs sharing a single center beam, three different injection molds are required to manufacture the two side beams and one center beam. However, in this application, since the first side beam and the second center beam have identical structures, and the first center beam and the second side beam have identical structures, only two injection molds are needed to manufacture the four beams required for the garment processing device. This reduces the types of injection molds required to manufacture the beam structure and saves on the manufacturing cost of the garment processing device.

[0054] In one possible implementation, the garment handling device further includes:

[0055] The first water inlet pipe extends along the depth direction of the box body. The first water inlet pipe is used to connect the water source and the first outer cylinder. The first central beam is connected to the first water inlet pipe to support the first water inlet pipe.

[0056] The second water inlet pipe extends along the depth direction of the box body. The second water inlet pipe is used to connect the water source and the second roller. The second central beam is connected to the second water inlet pipe to support the second water inlet pipe.

[0057] The first water inlet pipe and the second water inlet pipe are located between the first outer cylinder and the second outer cylinder, and are located above the first outer cylinder and the second outer cylinder along the height direction of the box body.

[0058] The first and second central beams, which are used to support the outer shell and the suspension roller, can be further reused to support the first and second water inlet pipes. This simplifies the internal structure of the garment processing device, improves the integration of the garment processing device, and helps to achieve the miniaturization design of the garment processing device.

[0059] In one possible implementation, the first middle beam includes:

[0060] A first front section, one end of which is connected to the front panel;

[0061] The first rear section, along the depth direction of the box body, is connected to the other end of the first front section, and the end of the first rear section opposite to the first front section is connected to the rear plate. In the height direction of the box body, the first rear section is at least partially located above the first front section. The first water inlet pipe is partially fixed to the first front section and the first water inlet pipe is partially fixed to the first rear section.

[0062] The second middle beam includes:

[0063] The second front section, one end of which is connected to the front panel;

[0064] The second rear section, along the depth direction of the housing, is connected to the other end of the second front section. The end of the second rear section opposite to the second front section is connected to the rear plate. In the height direction of the housing, the second rear section is at least partially located above the second front section. The second water inlet pipe is partially fixed to the second front section and partially fixed to the second rear section.

[0065] The first water inlet pipe is fixed to the first front section and the first rear section in the depth direction of the box, and the second water inlet pipe is fixed to the second front section and the second rear section in the depth direction of the box. In this way, the extended parts of the first water inlet pipe and the second water inlet pipe in the depth direction of the box can be completely fixed to the first central beam and the second central beam, respectively. This can ensure the overall stability of the first water inlet pipe and the second water inlet pipe and prevent the first water inlet pipe and the second water inlet pipe from being damaged by vibration when the clothing processing device performs the dehydration process.

[0066] In one possible implementation, the garment handling device further includes:

[0067] A detergent dispensing assembly is fixed to the first front section and the second front section. The detergent dispensing assembly is connected to the first water inlet pipe and the second water inlet pipe. The detergent dispensing assembly is used to dispense detergent into the first water inlet pipe and the second water inlet pipe.

[0068] By placing the detergent dispensing component on the first and second front sections, the space constructed by the first and second front sections can be effectively utilized, reducing or avoiding the detergent dispensing component protruding relative to the first and second central beams. This makes the internal structure design of the garment processing device more compact and helps to miniaturize the garment processing device.

[0069] In one possible implementation, the first inlet pipe includes:

[0070] The first bending section is located on one side of the first front section along the width direction of the box body. The first bending section is fixedly connected to the top of the first front section, and the end of the first bending section away from the front plate bends toward the first front section.

[0071] The first straight pipe section is connected to the end of the first bent section away from the front plate. The first rear section is provided with a first receiving space extending along the depth direction of the box. The first straight pipe section is partially embedded in the first receiving space to overlap the first rear section.

[0072] The second water inlet pipe includes:

[0073] The second bending section is located on one side of the second front section along the width direction of the box body. The second bending section is fixedly connected to the upper part of the second front section, and the end of the second bending section away from the front plate bends toward the second front section.

[0074] The second straight pipe section is connected to the end of the second bent section away from the front plate. The second rear section is provided with a second receiving space extending along the depth direction of the box. The second straight pipe section is partially embedded in the second receiving space to overlap the second rear section.

[0075] The first bend in the first inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the first front section, and the second bend in the second inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the second front section. This provides sufficient fixing strength for both the first and second inlet pipes, ensuring their stability. Furthermore, the first straight section of the first inlet pipe is embedded and overlaps the first rear section, and the second straight section of the second inlet pipe is embedded and overlaps the second rear section. This further enhances the fixing strength of the first and second inlet pipes. Simultaneously, the embedded design reduces the space occupied by the first and second inlet pipes, increasing the compactness of the internal structure of the garment processing device and facilitating its miniaturization.

[0076] In one possible implementation, the first roller and the second roller are spaced apart along the width direction of the housing, and in the direction from the front plate to the rear plate, the first roller and the second roller are inclined downwards.

[0077] The first suspension spring assembly, the second suspension spring assembly, the third suspension spring assembly, and the fourth suspension spring assembly each include:

[0078] A first suspension spring and a second suspension spring, wherein the first suspension spring is closer to the front plate than the second suspension spring, and in the height direction of the housing, the first suspension spring is inclined from the rear plate toward the front plate, and the second suspension spring is inclined from the front plate toward the rear plate; wherein

[0079] The first and second suspension springs of the first suspension spring assembly are used to connect the first side beam and the first outer cylinder;

[0080] The first and second springs of the second suspension spring assembly are used to connect the first middle beam and the first outer cylinder;

[0081] The first and second suspension springs of the third suspension spring assembly are used to connect the second middle beam and the second outer cylinder;

[0082] The first and second springs of the fourth suspension spring assembly are used to connect the second middle beam and the second outer cylinder.

[0083] Each suspension spring assembly includes a first suspension spring and a second suspension spring, which can disperse the vibration generated by the first and second outer cylinders during operation to multiple suspension springs. By using multiple suspension springs to absorb the vibration of a roller, the vibration of the roller can be dispersed, the load of a single suspension spring can be reduced, and the stability of the frame in damping the first and second rollers can be improved. Understandably, when a multi-drum washing machine is operating, if the component of the excitation force of the tilting drum in the depth direction of the drum is forward, both drums tend to move forward, which will stretch the second suspension spring on the corresponding drum. The second suspension spring can apply a backward component force to the tilting drum in the depth direction of the drum to counteract the forward component force of the drum's excitation force in the depth direction of the drum. Conversely, if the component of the excitation force of the tilting drum in the depth direction of the drum is backward, both drums tend to move backward, which will stretch the corresponding first suspension spring. The first suspension spring can apply a forward component force to the tilting drum in the depth direction of the drum to counteract the backward component force of the tilting drum's excitation force in the depth direction of the drum. Thus, whether the component of the excitation force of the tilting drum in the depth direction of the drum is forward or backward, the first and second suspension spring assemblies can both play a shock absorption role, improving the effectiveness of the first and second suspension spring assemblies.

[0084] In one possible implementation, in the depth direction of the housing, the first suspension springs of the first suspension spring assembly, the second suspension spring assembly, the third suspension spring assembly, and the fourth suspension spring assembly are correspondingly arranged;

[0085] In the depth direction of the housing, the second springs of the first spring assembly, the second spring assembly, the third spring assembly, and the fourth spring assembly are correspondingly arranged.

[0086] By aligning the first springs of all spring assemblies with the depth of the housing and the second springs of all spring assemblies with the depth of the housing, the internal structure of the garment processing device can be arranged more regularly, reducing the difficulty of installing the springs and facilitating the inspection and maintenance of the internal structure of the garment processing device.

[0087] In one possible implementation, in the direction from the front plate to the rear plate, the first side beam, the first middle beam, the second middle beam, and the second side beam are all provided with a first suspension part and a second suspension part at intervals. The first suspension part and the second suspension part extend downward along the height direction of the housing, and the extension height of the first suspension part relative to the lower surface of the first middle beam is less than the extension height of the second suspension part relative to the lower surface of the first middle beam. One end of the first suspension spring is connected to the first suspension part, and the other end is connected to the outer cylinder. One end of the second suspension spring is connected to the second suspension part, and the other end is connected to the outer cylinder.

[0088] Since both the first and second rollers are inclined downwards in the direction from the front plate to the rear plate, the distance between the outer cylinders of the two rollers and the corresponding center beam is smaller the closer they are to the front plate. By making the downward extension length of the first suspension part less than the downward extension length of the second suspension part, the distance between the first and second suspension parts and the same roller is approximately the same. This allows the first and second suspension springs to use suspension springs of the same or similar specifications, which helps to achieve a universal design for the first and second suspension springs. When assembling the first and second suspension springs, it is not necessary to distinguish between different suspension springs based on their positions, which can reduce the manufacturing difficulty and cost of the garment handling device.

[0089] A third aspect of this application provides a combined garment processing device, comprising:

[0090] A first garment processing device, wherein the first garment processing device is a drum washing machine;

[0091] A second garment processing device, wherein the second garment processing device is any of the garment processing devices described above, and the second garment processing device is detachably disposed above the first garment processing device.

[0092] In this way, users can choose the appropriate laundry equipment according to their actual needs, which can meet the diverse needs of different users.

[0093] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0094] The garment handling device of this application comprises a first side beam, a first central beam, a second central beam, and a second side beam arranged sequentially at intervals. In the width direction of the housing, the first side beam and the first central beam are located on opposite sides of the axis of the first outer cylinder, and the second central beam and the second side beam are located on opposite sides of the axis of the second outer cylinder. The first side beam and the first central beam are connected to the first outer cylinder via a first suspension spring assembly and a second suspension spring assembly, respectively. The second central beam and the second side beam are connected to the second outer cylinder via a third suspension spring assembly and a fourth suspension spring assembly, respectively. Thus, during operation of the garment handling device, the first roller and the second roller are suspended on different first and second central beams, preventing both rollers from acting on the same central beam. This prevents the first and second rollers from transmitting vibrations through the same central beam and causing mutual interference, improving the vibration damping effect of the garment handling device. When only the first roller or the second roller is working, because the first roller and the second roller are suspended on different central beams, the vibration of the working roller cannot be directly transmitted to the other roller through the central beam, reducing the impact of the working roller on the non-working roller. Meanwhile, since the two rollers are suspended by different center beams, the load on the first or second center beam can be reduced, thus reducing the overall load on the frame and lowering the risk of frame loosening or damage, thereby extending the service life of the garment processing device. Furthermore, because the first and second center beams are located between the axes of the first and second rollers, the space between the two rollers can be effectively utilized, making the internal structure of the garment processing device more compact and facilitating miniaturization. Additionally, in structural designs sharing a single center beam, three different injection molds are required to manufacture the two side beams and one center beam. However, in this application, since the first side beam and the second center beam have identical structures, and the first center beam and the second side beam have identical structures, only two injection molds are needed to manufacture the four beams required for the garment processing device. This reduces the types of injection molds required to manufacture the beam structure and saves on the manufacturing cost of the garment processing device. Attached Figure Description

[0115] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0116] In this application, the terms "upper," "rear," "inner," "outer," and "middle," etc., indicate 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 the present invention 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.

[0120] Multi-drum garment processing units meet users' increasingly sophisticated hygiene needs, allowing them to separate garments by type and use different drums to clean different types of clothing simultaneously. For example, trousers can use a separate drum, underwear a separate drum, and socks a separate drum. For families with infants and young children, infant clothing can also use a separate drum. However, in practical applications, when multiple drums simultaneously perform dehydration / drying programs, the garment processing unit may operate beyond its power capacity, posing a safety hazard. For instance, when multiple drums are dehydrating simultaneously, all drums vibrate. This results in a large overall vibration amplitude and frequency for the garment processing unit, putting significant stress on the support frame and potentially causing damage. In particular, when multiple drums are performing a dehydration program and their vibrations are within the resonance range, the resonance of the drums can cause a significant increase in the vibration amplitude and frequency of the garment processing unit, potentially even leading to the disintegration of the support frame.

[0121] The inventors attempted to improve the stability of the support frame by using multiple fixing and connecting devices, or to enhance its mechanical strength by improving its integral design. However, using multiple fixing and connecting devices increases the volume, complexity, and manufacturing cost of the support frame. Furthermore, after prolonged operation of the garment handling device, repeated vibrations can cause the connections between different structures to loosen, reducing the support frame's stability. Using a one-piece support frame design significantly increases the manufacturing difficulty, directly leading to a substantial increase in manufacturing costs. Additionally, during the assembly of the garment handling device, parts of the one-piece support frame can obstruct the assembly process, increasing assembly difficulty.

[0122] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a garment processing device. This device comprises a first side beam, a first central beam, a second central beam, and a second side beam arranged sequentially at intervals. In the width direction of the housing, the first side beam and the first central beam are located on opposite sides of the axis of the first outer cylinder, and the second central beam and the second side beam are located on opposite sides of the axis of the second outer cylinder. The first side beam and the first central beam are connected to the first outer cylinder via a first suspension spring assembly and a second suspension spring assembly, respectively. The second central beam and the second side beam are connected to the second outer cylinder via a third suspension spring assembly and a fourth suspension spring assembly, respectively. Thus, during operation, the first roller and the second roller are suspended on different first and second central beams, preventing both rollers from acting on the same central beam. This prevents the first and second rollers from transmitting vibrations through the same central beam and causing mutual interference, thereby improving the vibration damping effect of the garment processing device. When only the first roller or the second roller is working, because the first roller and the second roller are suspended on different central beams, the vibration of the working roller cannot be directly transmitted to the other roller through the central beam, reducing the impact of the working roller on the non-working roller. Meanwhile, since the two rollers are suspended by different center beams, the load on the first or second center beam can be reduced, thus reducing the overall load on the frame and lowering the risk of frame loosening or damage, thereby extending the service life of the garment processing device. Furthermore, because the first and second center beams are located between the axes of the first and second rollers, the space between the two rollers can be effectively utilized, making the internal structure of the garment processing device more compact and facilitating miniaturization. Additionally, in structural designs sharing a single center beam, three different injection molds are required to manufacture the two side beams and one center beam. However, in this application, since the first side beam and the second center beam have identical structures, and the first center beam and the second side beam have identical structures, only two injection molds are needed to manufacture the four beams required for the garment processing device. This reduces the types of injection molds required to manufacture the beam structure and saves on the manufacturing cost of the garment processing device.

[0123] It should be noted that the garment handling device can be a washing machine, dryer, or washer-dryer combo; this application does not specifically limit this. The detergent can be a cleaning agent used for cleaning clothes, such as laundry detergent. The detergent can also be a garment care agent, such as fabric softener or disinfectant.

[0124] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0126] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 1 includes a housing 11, which is a combination of the outer shell 12 and the support frame 13 of the garment handling device 1.

[0127] In some embodiments, the housing 12 includes a front panel 121, on which two openings 121a are provided, the two openings 121a being spaced apart along the width direction of the housing.

[0128] In some embodiments, two doors 121b can be provided on the front panel 121 corresponding to the two openings 121a. Both doors 121b can rotate relative to the front panel 121. By rotating the two doors 121b, the two openings 121a can be closed or opened respectively.

[0129] In some embodiments, the outer casing 12 further includes a first side plate 122 and a second side plate 123. The first side plate 122 and the second side plate 123 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the front plate 121 in the width direction of the casing. The first side plate 122 is connected to one end of the front plate 121, and the second side plate 123 is connected to the other end of the front plate 121. The first side plate 122 and the second side plate 123 are generally arranged in parallel.

[0130] In some embodiments, the outer casing 12 further includes a rear plate 124, which is spaced apart from the front plate 121 along the depth direction of the casing. The rear plate 124 is connected to the ends of the first side plate 122 and the second side plate 123 away from the front plate 121 on opposite sides of the casing 11 in the width direction. The front plate 121, the first side plate 122, the second side plate 123 and the rear plate 124 form a ring structure.

[0131] In some embodiments, the outer casing 12 further includes a top plate 125, which is disposed above the front plate 121, the first side plate 122, the second side plate 123 and the rear plate 124 along the height direction of the housing 11, and forms a receiving space with the front plate 121, the first side plate 122, the second side plate 123 and the rear plate 124.

[0132] In some embodiments, the housing 11 includes a bottom plate 126, which is spaced apart from and parallel to the top plate 125. The bottom plate 126 is connected to the ends of the front plate 121, the first side plate 122, the second side plate 123, and the rear plate 124 away from the top plate 125.

[0133] It is understandable that the width direction P1 of the box 11 refers to the direction in which the first side panel 122 and the second side panel 123 are arranged alternately, the depth direction P2 refers to the direction in which the front panel 121 and the rear panel 124 are arranged alternately, and the height direction P3 refers to the height direction of the box 11 itself. The height direction P3, the width direction P1, and the depth direction P2 are perpendicular to each other.

[0134] In some embodiments, the frame 13 includes a first side beam 131 and a second side beam 132, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the housing 11, and both ends of the first side beam 131 and the second side beam 132 are connected to the front plate 121 and the rear plate 124, respectively. The first side beam 131 and the second side beam 132 are used to support the outer shell 12.

[0135] In some embodiments, the frame 13 further includes a first central beam 133 and a second central beam 134. The first central beam 133 and the second central beam 134 are disposed between the first side beam 131 and the second side beam 132 along the width direction of the box body 11. The two ends of the first central beam 133 and the second central beam 134 are respectively connected to the front plate 121 and the rear plate 124. The first central beam 133 and the second central beam 134 are spaced apart along the width direction of the box body 11. The first side beam 131, the second side beam 132, the first central beam 133 and the second central beam 134 are used to support the outer shell 12.

[0136] In some embodiments, the first side beam 131 and the first middle beam 133 have the same structure, and the second middle beam 134 and the second side beam 132 have the same structure.

[0137] In some embodiments, the first side beam 131 and the second middle beam 134 have the same structure, and the first middle beam 133 and the second side beam 132 have the same structure.

[0138] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 1 further includes two rollers 14 located inside the housing 11 and spaced apart along the width direction P1 of the housing 11. Each roller 14 has an opening 141, which corresponds to and communicates with the two openings 121a mentioned above. The opening 141 serves as the garment loading port, allowing the user to load or unload garments into the roller 14.

[0139] The two rollers 14 can be divided into a first roller 142 and a second roller 143. The first roller 142 is closer to the first side plate 122 than the second roller 143, and the second roller 143 is closer to the second side plate 123 than the first roller 142.

[0140] In some embodiments, the first roller 142 includes a first outer cylinder 142a and a first inner cylinder 142b, with the first inner cylinder 142b disposed inside the first outer cylinder 142a. The second roller 143 includes a second outer cylinder 143a and a second inner cylinder 143b, with the second inner cylinder 143b disposed inside the second outer cylinder 143a.

[0141] In some embodiments, in the height direction of the housing 11, the first side beam 131 is located between the axes of the first side plate 122 and the first outer cylinder 142a, and the second side beam 132 is located between the second side plate 123 and the second outer cylinder 143a. The projections of the first middle beam 133 and the second middle beam 134 are located between the axes of the first outer cylinder 142a and the second outer cylinder 143a. Since the first outer cylinder 142a and the second outer cylinder 143a are spaced apart along the width direction of the housing 11, a certain space can be constructed in the middle of the two rollers 14. By placing the first middle beam 133 and the second middle beam 134 in this position, the internal space of the clothing processing device 1 can be effectively utilized, improving the space utilization rate. The cylinder axis of the first roller 142 is O1-O1', and the cylinder axis of the second roller 143 is O2-O2'.

[0142] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 1 further includes a first suspension spring assembly 111 connected between the frame 13 and the first roller 142. For example, the first suspension spring assembly 111 may be connected between the first side beam 131 and the first outer cylinder 142a. When the first roller 142 operates and vibrates, the first suspension spring assembly 111 can absorb the vibration of the first roller 142 and convert the kinetic energy of the vibration into other forms of energy, such as potential energy and thermal energy, or cause the energy of the first roller 142 to be converted between kinetic energy and potential / thermal energy multiple times.

[0143] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 1 further includes a second suspension spring assembly 112, which can be connected between the first central beam 133 and the second outer cylinder 142a. When the first roller 142 operates and vibrates, the second suspension spring assembly 112 can absorb the vibration of the first roller 142 and convert the kinetic energy of the vibration into other forms of energy, such as potential energy and thermal energy, or make the energy of the first roller 142 convert between kinetic energy and potential energy / thermal energy multiple times.

[0144] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 1 further includes a third suspension spring assembly 113, which can be connected between the frame 13 and the second roller 143. For example, the third suspension spring assembly 113 can be connected between the second central beam 134 and the second outer cylinder 143a. When the second roller 143 operates and vibrates, the third suspension spring assembly 113 can absorb the vibration of the second roller 143 and convert the kinetic energy of the vibration into other forms of energy, such as potential energy and thermal energy, or cause the energy of the second roller 143 to be converted between kinetic energy and potential / thermal energy multiple times. It is understood that the suspension spring will expand and contract under the vibration of the roller 143, and the suspension spring will generate heat during expansion and contraction. Therefore, part of the kinetic energy generated by the vibration of the roller 143 will be converted into thermal energy.

[0145] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 1 further includes a fourth suspension spring assembly 114, which can be connected between the second side beam 132 and the second outer cylinder 143a. When the second roller 143 operates and vibrates, the fourth suspension spring assembly 114 can absorb the vibration of the second roller 143 and convert the kinetic energy of the vibration into other forms of energy, such as potential energy and thermal energy, or cause the energy of the second roller 143 to be converted between kinetic energy and potential / thermal energy multiple times. It is understood that the suspension spring will expand and contract under the vibration of the roller 14, and the suspension spring will generate heat during expansion and contraction. Therefore, part of the kinetic energy generated by the vibration of the roller 14 will be converted into thermal energy.

[0146] With this configuration, during the operation of the garment processing device 1, the first roller 142 and the second roller 143 are suspended from different first central beams 133 and 134, respectively. This prevents the two rollers 14 from acting on the same central beam, thus preventing the first roller 142 and the second roller 143 from transmitting vibrations through the same central beam and causing mutual interference, thereby improving the vibration reduction effect of the garment processing device 1. When only the first roller 142 or the second roller 143 is working, since the first roller 142 and the second roller 143 are suspended from different central beams, the vibration of the roller in operation cannot be directly transmitted to the other roller through the central beam, which can reduce the impact of the roller in operation on the roller that is not in operation. At the same time, since the two rollers are suspended by different central beams, the load on the first central beam 133 or the second central beam 134 can be reduced, that is, the overall load on the frame 13 can be reduced, reducing the risk of the frame 13 loosening or being damaged, thereby extending the service life of the garment processing device 1. Furthermore, since the first central beam 133 and the second central beam 134 are located between the axes of the first roller 142 and the second roller 143, the space between the two rollers can be effectively utilized, making the internal structure of the garment processing device 1 more compact and facilitating the miniaturization design of the garment processing device 1. In addition, in the structural design that shares a central beam, three types of injection molds are required to manufacture the two side beams and the central beam. However, in this application, since the first side beam 131 and the second central beam 134 have the same structure, and the first central beam 133 and the second side beam 132 have the same structure, only two types of injection molds are needed to manufacture the four beams required for the garment processing device 1. This reduces the types of injection molds required to manufacture the beam structure and saves on the manufacturing cost of the garment processing device 1.

[0147] In some embodiments, the frame 13 may further include a front support frame 135, which is fixedly connected to the front panel 121 to support the front panel 121. The first middle beam 133 and the second middle beam 134 are fixedly connected to the front support frame 135, and the three together support the outer shell 12.

[0148] See you again Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the first suspension spring assembly 111, the second suspension spring assembly 112, the third suspension spring assembly 113, and the fourth suspension spring assembly 114 each include a first suspension spring 115 and a second suspension spring 116, which are spaced apart along the depth direction P2 of the housing 11. It is understood that the first suspension spring 115 and the second suspension spring 116 of the first suspension spring assembly 111 are used to connect the first side beam 131 and the first outer cylinder 142a; the first suspension spring 115 and the second suspension spring 116 of the second suspension spring assembly 112 are used to connect the first middle beam 133 and the first outer cylinder 142a; the first suspension spring 115 and the second suspension spring 116 of the third suspension spring assembly 113 are used to connect the second middle beam 134 and the second outer cylinder 142a; and the first suspension spring 115 and the second suspension spring 116 of the fourth suspension spring assembly 114 are used to connect the second side beam 132 and the second outer cylinder 142a. Each suspension spring assembly includes a first suspension spring 115 and a second suspension spring 116, which can disperse the vibration generated by the first outer cylinder 142a and the second outer cylinder 143a during operation to multiple suspension springs. By using multiple suspension springs to absorb the vibration of a roller, the vibration of the roller can be dispersed, the load of a single suspension spring can be reduced, and the stability of the frame in damping the first roller 142 and the second roller 143 can be improved.

[0149] Taking the second suspension spring assembly 112 as an example, one end of the first suspension spring 115 of the second suspension spring assembly 112 is connected to the first central beam 133, and the other end is connected to the outer cylinder of the first outer cylinder 142a. Similarly, one end of the second suspension spring 116 of the second suspension spring assembly 112 is connected to the first central beam 133, and the other end is connected to the outer cylinder of the first outer cylinder 142a. In this way, when the first outer cylinder 142a vibrates and moves towards the first suspension spring 115, the first outer cylinder 142a compresses the first suspension spring 115. At this time, the stroke of the first outer cylinder 142a due to vibration is converted into the elastic potential energy of the first suspension spring 115, and will not be transmitted to the frame 13, or most of it will not be transmitted to the frame 13, so that the garment handling device 1 as a whole remains in a relatively stable state. When the first outer cylinder 142a vibrates and moves away from the first suspension spring 115, the first outer cylinder 142a stretches the first suspension spring 115, and the first suspension spring 115 in turn prevents the first roller 142 from moving further, thereby keeping the garment handling device 1 relatively stable.

[0150] Understandably, the function of the second suspension spring 116 is basically the same as that of the first suspension spring 115, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0151] Understandably, the first spring 115 and the second spring 116 of the multiple suspension spring assemblies are movably connected to the beam and the roller. For example, the first spring 115 and the second spring 116 of the first suspension spring assembly 111 can be connected by hooking, rotation, sliding, or swinging. For example, a groove extending a certain length along the depth direction P2 of the box 11 is provided on the outer cylinder of the first side beam 131 and the first outer cylinder 142a. One end of the first spring 115 is slidably engaged in the groove of the first side beam 131, and the other end is engaged in the groove on the outer cylinder of the first outer cylinder 142a. For the swinging connection, it is sufficient to allow the first spring 115 to move while rotating relative to both the first side beam 131 and the first outer cylinder 142a. For example, based on the sliding connection, a sliding slider can be provided in the groove, and the end of the first spring 115 can be rotatably connected to the slider.

[0152] It is understandable that the connection between the first spring 115 and the second spring 116 of the second spring assembly 112 and the first outer cylinder 142a, the connection between the first spring 115 and the second spring 116 of the third spring assembly 113 and the second outer cylinder 143a, and the connection between the first spring 115 and the second spring 116 of the fourth spring assembly 114 and the second outer cylinder 143a can be set with reference to the connection method between the first spring 115 and the second spring 116 of the first spring assembly 111 and the first outer cylinder 142a, and will not be elaborated here.

[0153] Of course, in some embodiments, each suspension spring assembly may have only one suspension spring. Alternatively, each suspension spring assembly may have more than two suspension springs. Furthermore, the number of suspension springs in different suspension spring assemblies may be the same or different.

[0154] In some embodiments, in the direction from the front plate 121 to the rear plate 124, the first roller 142 and the second roller 143 are inclined downwards to the upper right along the height direction P3 of the housing 11. In this way, since the two rollers 14 are inclined, when designing the garment handling device 1, the ratio of the garment handling opening to the rollers 14 can be enlarged, thereby increasing the size of the garment handling opening to a certain extent, making it easier for users to put or take clothes through the garment handling opening.

[0155] In some embodiments, in the direction from the front plate 121 toward the rear plate 124, a first suspension spring 115 and a second suspension spring 116 of each suspension spring assembly are arranged sequentially, and each first suspension spring 115 is inclined in the direction from the rear plate 124 toward the front plate 121, and each second suspension spring 116 is inclined in the direction from the front plate 121 toward the rear plate 124. It is understood that when the garment handling device 1 is operating, if the component of the excitation force (i.e., centrifugal force) of the inclined roller 14 in the depth direction P2 of the housing 11 is forward, both rollers 14 have a tendency to move forward, which will stretch the corresponding second suspension spring 116, causing the second suspension spring 116 to apply a backward component force to the corresponding inclined roller 14 in the depth direction P2 of the housing 11 to counteract the forward component of the excitation force of the roller 14 in the depth direction P2 of the housing 11. If the component of the excitation force of the inclined roller 14 in the depth direction P2 of the housing 11 is backward, then the two rollers 14 have a tendency to move backward, which will stretch the corresponding first suspension spring 115. This causes the first suspension spring 115 to apply a forward component force to the corresponding inclined roller 14 in the depth direction P2 of the housing 11, thereby counteracting the backward component force of the excitation force of the inclined roller 14 in the depth direction P2 of the housing 11. Thus, whether the component force of the excitation force of the inclined roller 14 in the depth direction P2 of the housing 11 is forward or backward, all suspension spring assemblies can play a buffering and shock absorption role, improving the effectiveness of all suspension spring assemblies. Meanwhile, the above-mentioned arrangement allows the connection points of the first suspension spring 115 and the corresponding outer cylinder, and the connection points of the second suspension spring 116 and the corresponding outer cylinder, to be concentrated in the middle of the outer cylinder. This makes the connection points of the first suspension spring 115 and the outer cylinder, and the connection points of the second suspension spring 116 and the outer cylinder, relatively close to the center of mass of the outer cylinder. This avoids the outer cylinder from generating torque, reduces the probability of the outer cylinder rotating, improves the stability of the outer cylinder, and reduces the generation of vibration and noise.

[0156] See you again Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, in the direction from the front plate 121 to the rear plate 124, the first side beam 131, the second side beam 132, the first middle beam 133, and the second middle beam 134 are provided with a first suspension part 136 and a second suspension part 137 at intervals. Both the first suspension part 136 and the second suspension part 137 extend downwards along the height direction P3 of the housing 11. One end of each first suspension spring 115 is connected to the corresponding first suspension part 136, and the other end is connected to the corresponding outer cylinder. One end of each second suspension spring 116 is connected to the corresponding second suspension part 137, and the other end is connected to the corresponding outer cylinder. The downward extension height of the first suspension part 136 is less than the downward extension height of the second suspension part 137. That is, the protrusion height of the first suspension part 136 relative to the lower surface of the corresponding beam is less than the protrusion height of the second suspension part 137 relative to the lower surface of the corresponding beam.

[0157] Taking the first roller 142 as an example, since the outer cylinder of the first roller 142 is inclined downward in the direction from the front plate 121 to the rear plate 124, the outer cylinder of the first roller 142 is closer to the front plate 121 of the box 11 in the depth direction P2, and closer to the top of the box 11. By making the height of the first suspension part 136 near the front plate 121 less than the height of the second suspension part 137 far from the front plate 121, the distance between the first suspension part 136 and the second suspension part 137 and the same roller is approximately the same. This allows the first suspension spring 115 and the second suspension spring 116 to use suspension springs of the same or similar specifications, thereby realizing the universal design of the first suspension spring 115 and the second suspension spring 116 and reducing the cost of the first suspension spring assembly 111. Similarly, since the second roller 143 is set with the same tilt as the first roller 142, the same applies to the third suspension spring assembly 113 and the fourth suspension spring assembly 114. By restricting the first suspension part 136 and the second suspension part 137 on the second middle beam 134 and the second side beam 132, the third suspension spring assembly 113 and the fourth suspension spring assembly 114 can also use suspension springs of the same specification, thereby achieving the commonality of the third suspension spring assembly 113 and the fourth suspension spring assembly 114. When assembling the garment handling device 1, it is not necessary to distinguish between the first suspension spring 115 and the second suspension spring 116, which can reduce assembly difficulty and manufacturing cost.

[0158] In some embodiments, in the direction from the front panel 121 to the rear panel 124, the dimensions of the first suspension portion 136 and the second suspension portion 137 decrease downwards along the height direction of the housing 11, such that both the first suspension portion 136 and the second suspension portion 137 are approximately inverted triangular in shape. The triangular structure is relatively stable, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the first suspension portion 136 and the second suspension portion 137, improving their load-bearing capacity, and extending their service life.

[0159] In some embodiments, the first suspension portion 136 and the second suspension portion 137 are configured as protrusions extending from the first side beam 131, the first middle beam 133, the second middle beam 134, and the second side beam 132. The first suspension spring 115 and the second suspension spring 116 are respectively attached to the first suspension portion 136 and the second suspension portion 137. In the height direction of the housing 11, the line connecting the attachment points of the first suspension portion 136 and the first suspension spring 115, and the attachment points of the second suspension portion 137 and the second suspension spring 116, is parallel to the axes of the two rollers. That is, the line connecting the attachment points of the first suspension portion 136 and the first suspension spring 115, and the attachment points of the second suspension portion 137 and the second suspension spring 116, is parallel to both axes O1-O1' and O2-O2'. This reduces the structural design difficulty of all beam structures and improves their reliability. Furthermore, since the line connecting the first suspension part 136 and the first suspension spring 115 and the second suspension part 137 and the second suspension spring 116 is parallel to the axis of the roller 14, it can be ensured that the distance between the first suspension part 136 and the first suspension spring 115 and the roller 14, as well as the distance between the second suspension part 137 and the second suspension spring 116 and the roller 14, remains consistent, thereby ensuring the consistency of the shock absorption effect on the roller 14 when the first suspension spring 115 and the second suspension spring 116 use the same suspension spring.

[0161] In some embodiments, the garment processing device 1 further includes a water inlet assembly 15 for connecting two rollers 14 and a water source (not shown) to inject water into the two rollers 14.

[0162] In some embodiments, the water inlet assembly 15 includes a first water inlet pipe 151 and a second water inlet pipe 152. The first water inlet pipe 151 is used to connect the first outer cylinder 142a and a water source, and the second water inlet pipe 152 is used to connect the second outer cylinder 143a and a water source. Thus, the first water inlet pipe 151 can inject water into the first outer cylinder 142a, and the second water inlet pipe 152 can inject water into the second outer cylinder 143b.

[0163] In some embodiments, the first water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152 both extend along the depth direction P2 of the housing 11. The first water inlet pipe 151 is connected to the first central beam 133, and the second water inlet pipe 152 is connected to the second central beam 134. In this way, the first central beam 133 and the second central beam 134, which are used to support the outer shell 12 and the suspension roller 14, are further reused to support the first water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152. This simplifies the internal structure of the garment processing device 1, improves the integration of the garment processing device 1, and helps to achieve the miniaturization design of the garment processing device 1.

[0164] In some embodiments, the first central beam 133 includes a first front section 133a and a first rear section 133b. One end of the first front section 133a is connected to the front plate 121 along the depth direction P2 of the housing 11.

Furthermore, in the height direction P3 of the housing 11, the first rear section 133b is at least partially located above the first front section 133a; in other words, the upper surface of the first rear section 133b is higher than the upper surface of the first front section 133a. The portion of the first water inlet pipe 151 near the front plate 121 is fixedly connected to the first front section 133a, and the portion of the first water inlet pipe 151 near the rear plate 124 is fixed to the first rear section 133b. In this way, the portion of the first water inlet pipe 151 extending in the depth direction P2 of the housing 11 can be completely fixed to the first central beam 133, ensuring the overall stability of the first water inlet pipe 151 and preventing the first water inlet pipe 151 from being damaged by vibration when the clothing processing device 1 performs the dehydration process.

[0165] In some embodiments, the first water inlet pipe 151 includes a first bent section 151a and a first straight section 151b.

The first rear section 133b is provided with a first receiving space 133c extending along the depth direction P2 of the housing 11. The first straight section 151b is partially embedded in the first receiving space 133c to overlap the first rear section 133b. The first bent section 151a of the first water inlet pipe 151 is fixedly connected to the first front section 133a, so that the first water inlet pipe 151 has sufficient fixing strength to ensure the stability of the first water inlet pipe 151. Furthermore, the first straight pipe section 151b of the first water inlet pipe 151 is partially embedded and overlapped with the first rear section 133b. This can further improve the fixing strength of the first water inlet pipe 151. At the same time, by utilizing the embedded design, the space occupied by the first water inlet pipe 151 is reduced, and the compactness of the internal structure of the clothing processing device 1 is improved, which is conducive to realizing the miniaturization design of the clothing processing device 1.

[0166] In some embodiments, the second central beam 134 includes a second front section 134a and a second rear section 134b. One end of the second front section 134a is connected to the front plate 121 along the depth direction P2 of the housing 11. One end of the second rear section 134b is connected to the other end of the second front section 134a, and the other end of the second rear section 134b is connected to the rear plate 124. Furthermore, in the height direction P3 of the housing 11, the second rear section 134b is at least partially located above the second front section 134a; in other words, the upper surface of the second rear section 134b is higher than the upper surface of the second front section 134a. The portion of the second water inlet pipe 152 near the front plate 121 is fixedly connected to the second front section 134a, and the portion of the second water inlet pipe 152 near the rear plate 124 is fixedly connected to the second rear section 134b. In this way, the portion of the second water inlet pipe 152 extending in the depth direction P2 of the housing 11 can be completely fixed to the second central beam 134, ensuring the overall stability of the second water inlet pipe 152 and preventing the second water inlet pipe 152 from being damaged by vibration when the clothing processing device 1 performs the dehydration process.

[0167] In some embodiments, the second water inlet pipe 152 includes a second bent section 152a and a second straight section 152b. The second bent section 152a is located on one side of the second front section 134a along the width direction P2 of the housing 11, and is fixedly connected to the upper part of the second front section 134a. The end of the second bent section 152a away from the front plate 121 is bent towards the second front section 134a. The second straight section 152b is connected to the end of the second bent section 152a away from the front plate 121. The second rear section 134b is provided with a second receiving space 134c extending along the depth direction P2 of the housing 11. The second straight section 152b is partially embedded in the second receiving space 134c to overlap the second rear section 134b. The second bent section 152a of the second water inlet pipe 152 is fixedly connected to the second front section 134a, so that the second water inlet pipe 152 has sufficient fixing strength to ensure the stability of the second water inlet pipe 152. Furthermore, the second straight pipe section 152b of the second water inlet pipe 152 is partially embedded and overlapped with the second rear section 134b. This can further improve the fixing strength of the second water inlet pipe 152. At the same time, by utilizing the embedded design, the space occupied by the second water inlet pipe 152 is reduced, and the compactness of the internal structure of the clothing processing device 1 is improved, which is conducive to realizing the miniaturization design of the clothing processing device 1.

[0168] Please see also Figure 15 , Figure 15 yes Figure 10 Enlarged schematic diagram of region B in the middle.

[0169] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 1 further includes a detergent dispensing component 16, which is connected to a first water inlet pipe 151 and a second water inlet pipe 152. The detergent dispensing component 16, by cooperating with the first water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152, allows detergent to enter the first water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152, and mixes with the water flow in the first water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152 before entering the first drum 142 and the second drum 143 respectively, so as to realize automatic detergent dispensing.

[0170] In some embodiments, the detergent dispensing assembly 16 includes a one-way connector 161, which has an inlet 161a, a first dispensing port 161b, and a second dispensing port 161c. The inlet 161a receives detergent, the first dispensing port 161b is connected to a first water inlet pipe 151, and the second dispensing port 161c is connected to a second water inlet pipe 152. When there is water flow in the first water inlet pipe 151, the water flow causes the pressure inside the first water inlet pipe 151 to be lower than the pressure in the one-way connector 161, thereby utilizing the pressure difference to draw detergent from the one-way connector 161 into the first water inlet pipe 151. Similarly, the second water inlet pipe 152 also automatically draws detergent through the pressure difference created by the water flow.

[0171] In some embodiments, the one-way connector 161 is disposed above the first front section 133a and the second front section 134a. The first bend 151a of the first water inlet pipe 151 is connected to the first liquid outlet 161b, and the second bend 152a of the second water inlet pipe 152 is connected to the second liquid outlet 161c. It is understood that since the upper surface of the first front section 133a is below the upper surface of the first rear section 133b, and the upper surface of the second front section 134a is below the upper surface of the second rear section 134b, the first front section 133a and the second front section 134a construct a space capable of housing the one-way connector 161. Simultaneously, the first front section 133a and the second front section 134a can be used to support the one-way connector 161, thereby ensuring the stability of the detergent dispensing assembly 16.

[0172] It is understood that the one-way connector 161 is a connector component that ensures that detergent, after entering, can only enter the first water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152 under the action of the water flow in the second water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152, and cannot re-flow into the one-way connector 161 along with the water flow in the first water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152.
