AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Three-tub washing machines are prone to vibration and noise during operation, which reduces the user experience.

Method used

A counterweight is set between the second and third processing drums of a three-drum washing machine. The front wall of the counterweight has a protrusion to counterbalance the weight of the drive motor in the front-back direction, ensuring the balance of the drum assembly in the front-back direction. The design of the rectangular protrusion and the fixing frame achieves balance in the left-right direction.

Benefits of technology

This reduces the imbalance of the drum caused by the weight of the drive motor, lowers the vibration and noise of the washing machine during operation, and improves the user experience and durability.

Abstract

The utility model discloses a kind of cylinder assembly and clothes processing equipment, the cylinder assembly includes first processing cylinder, second processing cylinder, third processing cylinder and counterweight, the second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder are set above the first processing cylinder and are spaced apart along left and right direction, the counterweight is between the second processing cylinder and the third processing cylinder, the front wall surface of the counterweight is equipped with protrusion. This protrusion is counterweighted with the weight of the driving motor arranged in the rear side of second processing cylinder and third processing cylinder in front-back direction, so that the weight of the entire cylinder assembly is more evenly distributed in front-back direction, so that the cylinder assembly can maintain balance in front-back direction during operation, can reduce the imbalance of cylinder due to the weight of driving motor, so as to reduce the vibration and noise of washing machine during operation, improve the use experience and durability.
