[0031] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0032] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," and "rear" generally refer to the corresponding directions in the accompanying drawings. "Front" and "rear" generally refer to the side closer to the user during use of the garment processing equipment, with the side away from the user being the front and the side away from the user being the rear. "Top" and "bottom" generally refer to the "top" and "bottom" along the direction of gravity in the operating state of this disclosure. Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" used in this disclosure are for distinguishing one element from another and do not have sequential or importance implications. In the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise explained, the same reference numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The above definitions are for explanation and illustration only and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.

[0033] According to a specific embodiment of this disclosure, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a garment processing device is provided, including a first cylinder 1 and two second cylinders 2 disposed above the first cylinder 1, each second cylinder 2 being connected to a water supply pipe 3, at least a portion of the water supply pipe 3 being arranged between the two second cylinders 2.

[0034] Through the above technical solution, in the clothing processing equipment provided in this disclosure, at least a portion of the water supply pipe 3 is arranged between the two second cylinders 2. In this way, the space between the two second cylinders 2 can be used to arrange at least a portion of the water supply pipe 3, so that the water supply pipe 3 can be reasonably arranged while being connected to the second cylinders 2. This makes effective and full use of the arrangement space of the clothing processing equipment.

[0035] In the garment processing apparatus provided in this disclosure, the water supply pipe 3 can be constructed in any suitable manner. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second cylinder 2 may have a connecting port 21, and the water supply pipe 3 may include a first pipe section 31 and a second pipe section 32 connected together. The first pipe section 31 may extend vertically and be disposed between the two second cylinders 2, and the second pipe section 32 may be disposed downstream of the first pipe section 31 and connected to the connecting port 21. This allows the first pipe section 31 to be positioned between the two second cylinders 2, making full use of the space between them. The connecting port 21 may be located at the top of the second cylinder 2, the first pipe section 31 may extend vertically, and the second pipe section 32 may be disposed horizontally, which facilitates the placement of the second pipe section 32 at the top of the second cylinder 2 to connect to the connecting port 21 and supply water to the second cylinder 2. In other embodiments, the connecting port 21 may also be disposed in other suitable locations, such as above the side, etc., and this disclosure does not impose specific limitations in this regard.

[0036] In the garment processing apparatus provided in this disclosure, the first pipe segment 31 can be arranged in any suitable manner. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 11As shown, the two water supply pipes 3 can share a single first pipe section 31. This reduces the number of first pipe sections 31, simplifying the arrangement of the water supply pipes 3. Furthermore, it facilitates the arrangement of other components between the two second cylinders 2. Downstream of the first pipe section 31, two second pipe sections 32 can be connected. These two second pipe sections 32 are positioned on either side of the first pipe section 31 in a left-right direction, respectively connecting the first pipe section 31 to the left-side second cylinder 2 and to the right-side second cylinder 2. A control valve can be installed at the connection point between the first pipe section 31 and the two second pipe sections 32. This control valve can selectively connect the left-side second pipe section 32 to the first pipe section 31, and / or selectively connect the right-side second pipe section 32 to the first pipe section 31. This allows for selective water supply to both second cylinders 2.

[0037] Furthermore, the garment processing equipment may have a central axis along the vertical direction, referred to here as the preset axis 4. In this embodiment, the first pipe segment 31 may coincide with the preset axis 4, which helps to improve the stability of the garment processing equipment. In another exemplary embodiment, the first pipe segment 31 may also be arranged between the preset axis 4 and one of the second cylinders 2, which facilitates the arrangement of other components in the area between the first pipe segment 31 and the other second cylinder 2.

[0038] As yet another exemplary embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 as well as Figure 12 As shown, the two first pipe sections 31 of the two water supply pipes 3 can be set at intervals. This is beneficial for the two second cylinders 2 to supply water separately. That is, if one water supply pipe 3 has a problem, it will not affect the operation of the other water supply pipe 3, thus ensuring the reliability of the second cylinder 2 during operation, that is, the water intake of the two second cylinders 2 does not affect each other.

[0039] In the garment processing equipment disclosed herein, two second cylinders 2 can be arranged symmetrically about a preset axis 4, and two first pipe sections 31 can be respectively disposed on both sides of the preset axis 4. The symmetrical arrangement of the two second cylinders 2 helps improve the stability of the garment processing equipment, thereby reducing the impact of vibrations of the second cylinders 2 on the garment processing equipment. Furthermore, distributing the two first pipe sections 31 on both sides of the preset axis 4 also helps improve the stability of the garment processing equipment, preventing the two first pipe sections 31 from being arranged on the same side of the preset axis 4, which would cause the first pipe section 31 to be too close to the second cylinder 2 and collide with it.

[0040] In the garment processing apparatus provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting port 21 can be arranged on the front side of the second cylinder 2, the first pipe section 31 can be arranged on the front side of the second cylinder 2, and the water supply pipe 3 can also include a third pipe section 33. The third pipe section 33 can extend in the left-right direction and connect to the upstream of the first pipe section 31. The third pipe section 33 can be arranged between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 on the left, or between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 on the right. The clothing processing equipment can include a box 5 and a feeding box 6. To facilitate user feeding, the feeding box 6 is generally located on the front side of the box 5. Therefore, arranging the connecting port 21 and the first pipe section 31 on the front side of the second cylinder 2 can shorten the length of the water supply pipe 3 between the feeding box 6 and the first pipe section 31, saving costs and reducing the difficulty of arranging the water supply pipe 3.

[0041] Furthermore, the third pipe section 33 can extend in the left-right direction, so that one end of the third pipe section 33 can connect to the first pipe section 31, and the other end can be arranged on the top of the feeding box 6, so that a water inlet pipe section 34 extending in the vertical direction can be arranged between the feeding box 6 and the third pipe section 33. The water inlet pipe section 34 can be constructed as part of the water supply pipe 3 and connect the feeding box 6 and the third pipe section 33. In this way, the feeding box 6 and the second drum 2 can be connected through the water supply pipe 3, that is, the water supply pipe 3 can provide the second drum 2 with liquid containing laundry detergent and other washing products for washing clothes.

[0042] In the garment processing apparatus provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the connecting port 21 can be arranged on the rear side of the second cylinder 2, and the water supply pipe 3 can also include a water inlet pipe section 34, which can extend in the front-rear direction and connect to the upstream of the second pipe section 32. In this way, the space on the rear side of the second cylinder 2 can be used to arrange at least part of the water supply pipe 3 (such as the water inlet pipe section 34 or the first pipe section 31 and the second pipe section 32), so that the arrangement space of the clothing processing equipment can be effectively and fully utilized.

[0043] When the connecting port 21 is located on the rear side of the second cylinder 2, the water supply pipe 3 has at least four arrangement methods. In the first and second arrangement methods, refer to Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the water inlet pipe section 34 can be arranged between the two second cylinders 2. In this way, the water inlet pipe section 34 can utilize the space between the two second cylinders 2, so that the arrangement space of the clothing processing equipment can be effectively and fully utilized.

[0044] Specifically, in the first arrangement method, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first pipe section 31 can be arranged on the front side of the second cylinder 2, and the water inlet pipe section 34 can be connected between the first pipe section 31 and the second pipe section 32. In this way, the upper space between the two second cylinders 2 can be used to arrange the water inlet pipe section 34 to avoid collision between the first cylinder 1 and the water inlet pipe section 34.

[0045] In the second arrangement, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first pipe section 31 can be arranged on the rear side of the second cylinder 2, and the water inlet pipe section 34 can be connected to the upstream of the first pipe section 31.

[0046] Furthermore, in the first and second arrangement methods mentioned above, refer to Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the water supply pipe 3 also includes a connecting pipe section 35, which includes a first section 351 and a second section 352 arranged sequentially along the flow direction. The first section 351 extends in the vertical direction, and the second section 352 extends in the horizontal direction. The water supply pipe 3 is connected to the feeding box 6 through the first section 351. In this way, the feeding box 6 and the second cylinder 2 can be connected through the water supply pipe 3. That is to say, the water supply pipe 3 can provide the second cylinder 2 with liquid containing laundry detergent and other washing products to facilitate the washing of clothes.

[0047] In the third arrangement method, refer to Figures 7 to 8 As shown, the first pipe section 31 is arranged on the rear side of the second cylinder 2. The water supply pipe 3 includes a connecting pipe section 35 and an inlet pipe section 34 connected sequentially along the flow direction. The connecting pipe section 35 includes a first segment 351 and a second segment 352 arranged sequentially along the flow direction. The first segment 351 extends in the front-back direction, the second segment 352 extends in the up-down direction, and the inlet pipe section 34 extends in the left-right direction. Furthermore, the water supply pipe 3 is connected to the feeding box 6 through the first segment 351. In this way, the feeding box 6 and the second cylinder 2 can be connected through the water supply pipe 3. That is to say, the water supply pipe 3 can provide the second cylinder 2 with liquid containing laundry detergent and other washing products for washing clothes.

[0048] In the fourth arrangement, refer to Figures 9 to 10 As shown, the first pipe section 31 is arranged on the rear side of the second cylinder 2. The water supply pipe 3 includes a connecting pipe section 35 and an inlet pipe section 34 connected sequentially along the flow direction. The connecting pipe section 35 includes a first segment 351 and a second segment 352 arranged sequentially along the flow direction. The first segment 351 extends vertically, the second segment 352 extends horizontally, and the inlet pipe section 34 extends horizontally. Furthermore, the water supply pipe 3 is connected to the feeding box 6 through the first segment 351. In this way, the feeding box 6 and the second cylinder 2 can be connected through the water supply pipe 3. That is to say, the water supply pipe 3 can provide the second cylinder 2 with liquid containing laundry detergent and other washing products for washing clothes.

[0049] In the garment processing equipment provided in this disclosure, as an example arrangement, reference is made to... Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the garment processing device may include a water supply pipe 7. The top of the first cylinder 1 may have a water inlet 11. When the water inlet 11 is located on the front side of the first cylinder 1, the water supply pipe 7 may include a first branch pipe 71. The first branch pipe 71 may be located between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 on the left, or the first branch pipe 71 may be located between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 on the right, and connected to the water inlet 11. That is, the first branch pipe 71 is also along the left-right direction. In this way, one end of the first branch pipe 71 can be connected to the water inlet 11, and the other end can be arranged on the top of the feeding box 6, so that a second branch pipe 72 extending in the vertical direction can be arranged between the other end and the feeding box 6. The second branch pipe 72 can be connected to the feeding box 6 and the first branch pipe 71. When the water inlet 11 is located on the rear side of the first cylinder 1, the water supply pipe 7 may also include a third branch pipe extending in the front-back direction. The third branch pipe can be connected to the second branch pipe 72 and the feeding box 6.

[0050] In this way, the feeding box 6 and the first drum 1 can be connected through the water supply pipe 7. That is to say, the water supply pipe 7 can provide the first drum 1 with liquid containing laundry detergent and other washing products, so as to wash clothes.

[0051] In the garment processing apparatus provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to...
