The second cylinder 3 is arranged above the first cylinder 2. The housing 1 has an arrangement space 11, which is located above the first cylinder 2 and behind the second cylinder 3. The main control board 4 is disposed in the arrangement space 11.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, in the clothing processing equipment provided in this disclosure, the main control board 4 is set in the arrangement space 11, which can make full use of the area behind the second cylinder 3 and the upper side of the first cylinder 2, so that when multiple cylinders are set in the box 1, the space inside the box 1 can be reasonably utilized, thereby realizing the reasonable arrangement of the main control board 4.

[0027] In the garment processing apparatus provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, there can be two second cylinders 3, which can be arranged spaced apart in the left-right direction. At least a portion of the main control board 4 can be arranged between the two second cylinders 3. This avoids an excessive difference in width between the main control board 4 and the two second cylinders 3 in the left-right direction when the main control board 4 is arranged on one side of the two second cylinders 3, which is beneficial for the wiring arrangement between the main control board 4 and the control components of the second cylinders 3. In addition, the main control board 4 is arranged between the two second cylinders 3, that is, the main control board 4 can be arranged in the arrangement space 11 corresponding to the area between the two second cylinders 3, so as to arrange other components in the arrangement space 11 corresponding to the rear side of the two second cylinders 3.

[0028] In the garment processing apparatus provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the garment processing equipment may also include an electrical control box 5, which can be electrically connected to the second cylinder 3 and is disposed in the arrangement space 11. In this way, the arrangement space 11 can be used to arrange the electrical control box 5, which is conducive to the rational arrangement of the electrical control box 5.

[0029] In the garment processing apparatus provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the two control boxes 5 can be spaced apart in the left-right direction, and at least a portion of the main control board 4 can be arranged between the two control boxes 5. This avoids an excessive difference in width between the main control board 4 and the two control boxes 5 in the left-right direction when the main control board 4 is arranged on one side of the two control boxes 5 in the left-right direction, which is beneficial for the wiring arrangement between the main control board 4 and the control boxes 5. In addition, the control boxes 5 are spaced apart in the left-right direction, and the two control boxes 5 can be arranged on both sides of the main control board 4, so that the control boxes 5 can be arranged close to the arrangement space 11 corresponding to the rear side of the second cylinder 3, which is beneficial for the connection between the control boxes 5 and the corresponding second cylinder 3.

[0030] In the garment processing apparatus provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 4As shown, the two second cylinders 3 can be arranged symmetrically about a preset axis 6. The main control board 4 can include a first sub-board 41 and a second sub-board 42 connected to each other, and the first sub-board 41 and the second sub-board 42 can be respectively located on the left and right sides of the preset axis 6. The preset axis 6 can be the central axis along the vertical direction of the front (or rear) panel of the garment processing equipment. The symmetrical arrangement of the two second cylinders 3 about the preset axis 6 can reduce the impact of vibration of the second cylinders 3 on the garment processing equipment, thus improving the stability of the garment processing equipment. Furthermore, the fact that the first sub-board 41 and the second sub-board 42 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the preset axis 6 means that the main control board 4 is arranged close to the preset axis 6, that is, the main control board 4 is approximately equidistant from the two second cylinders 3 in the left and right directions. This facilitates the wiring arrangement between the main control board 4 and the electrical control box 5.

[0031] In other embodiments, the main control board 4 can also be arranged in other suitable locations. As yet another exemplary embodiment, see reference 4. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the main control board 4 can be positioned closer to the left electrical control box 5 than the right electrical control box 5. That is, the width between the main control board 4 and the right electrical control box 5 in the left-right direction is greater than the width between the main control board 4 and the left electrical control box 5 in the left-right direction. This makes it easier to arrange other components between the main control board 4 and the right electrical control box 5.

[0032] The main control board 4 can be connected to the electrical control box 5 on the left. This simplifies or even eliminates the wiring between the main control board 4 and the electrical control box 5 on the left.

[0033] In the garment processing equipment provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, the garment processing equipment may include a drying module and a drive module. The drying module may be connected to the first drum 2 and / or the second drum 3. The drive module may include a motor, which may be used to drive the first drum 2 and / or the second drum 3 to rotate. The main control board 4 may be electrically connected to the motor and the drying module, and is used to control the start and stop of the motor and the speed of the motor, as well as to control the start and stop of the drying module. In this way, the main control board 4 can control the rotation of the motors of the first drum 2 and / or the second drum 3 to control the first drum 2 and / or the second drum 3 to perform functions such as washing or spin-drying. In one exemplary embodiment, each of the first drum 2 and each of the second drum 3 may be provided with a corresponding motor. The main control board 4 can selectively control different motors to control the operation of the corresponding drum. In this way, the operation of multiple drums can be independent of each other and do not affect each other.

[0034] The drying module may include a fan and a heating module (PTC or heat pump module). The main control board 4 is electrically connected to the fan and the heating module (PTC or heat pump module) and is used to control the start / stop and speed of the fan, as well as the start / stop and heating temperature of the heating module (PTC or heat pump module). Thus, the main control board 4 can simultaneously control the fan and the heating module (PTC or heat pump module) to control the first cylinder 2 and / or the second cylinder 3 to achieve drying functions. Furthermore, the first cylinder 2 and multiple second cylinders 3 can share a single fan and heating module (PTC or heat pump module), and different pipelines connect the fan to the corresponding cylinders. Each pipeline can be equipped with a control valve, thereby reducing the number of fans and heating modules (PTC or heat pump modules) and lowering costs. In this embodiment, the main control board 4 can control the fan rotation and the heating module (PTC or heat pump module) heating, and only controls the control valve to open the corresponding pipeline to control the corresponding cylinder to achieve drying functions.

[0035] In the garment processing equipment provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, the garment processing equipment may further include an electrical control box 5. A main control board 4 can be electrically connected to the electrical control box 5, and the electrical control box 5 can be electrically connected to a motor on the second drum 3. The main control board 4 can be used to control the start, stop, and rotation of the motor on the second drum 3 through the electrical control box 5. That is, the main control board 4 can send control signals, and after receiving the corresponding control signals, the electrical control box 5 controls the corresponding second drum 3 to perform functions such as washing or spin-drying, thereby simplifying the integration of the main control board 4. In addition, the garment processing equipment also includes a touch control module. The electrical control box 5 can be electrically connected to the touch control module, so that the user can directly operate the touch control module to control the garment processing equipment.

[0036] In one exemplary embodiment, the first cylinder 2 may also be provided with a corresponding electrical control box. In this way, the main control board 4 can be used to control the start, stop, and rotation of the motor on the first cylinder 2 via the electrical control box 5. In yet another exemplary embodiment, the main control board 4 may also be directly electrically connected to the motor of the first cylinder 2 to control the start, stop, and rotation of the motor on the first cylinder 2. This disclosure does not impose specific limitations in this regard.

[0037] In the garment processing apparatus provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the volume of the first drum 2 can be larger than the volume of the second drum 3. This allows for the selection of different drums to wash different types of clothing. For example, the second drum 3 can be used to wash smaller items such as socks, while the first drum 2 can be used to wash larger items such as bed sheets and coats, thus better meeting the user's laundry needs.
