Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing processing equipment technology, and more particularly to a clothing processing device. Background Technology
[0002] As users' demands for washing machines increase, they also desire smaller individual garment handling units. In related technologies, garment handling units typically include a drum assembly with cement or iron blocks mounted on it as counterweights. However, when the installation space inside the unit is limited, it is inconvenient to arrange the counterweights for the drum assembly. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the present application aims to provide a garment processing device that uses a bucket lid as a counterweight, eliminating the need for an additional counterweight structure, saving space and assembly time, and facilitating the solution of counterweight installation problems within a limited installation space.
[0004] This application provides a garment processing device, including:
[0005] The main supporting structure has installation space;
[0006] At least one first cylindrical body assembly is disposed within the installation space;
[0007] The first cylindrical assembly includes an inner cylinder, an outer cylinder, and a lid. The inner cylinder is disposed inside the outer cylinder, and the lid is disposed on the front side of the outer cylinder.
[0008] The lid has a density at least partially greater than that of the outer bucket, and the lid acts as a counterweight for the garment processing equipment.
[0009] In some implementations, the lid is a one-piece structure; and / or, the lid is entirely made of metal.
[0010] In some embodiments, the first cylindrical assembly includes a drive motor disposed at the rear side of the outer cylinder and suspended from the outer cylinder, the drive motor being used to drive the inner cylinder to rotate, and the drive motor being coaxially arranged with the inner cylinder.
[0011] In some embodiments, the weight ratio of the bucket lid to the weight of the drive motor is 1.1 to 1.6.
[0012] In some embodiments, the bucket lid is provided with a transport hole that extends through the bucket lid along the front-back direction of the garment processing equipment, and the transport hole is used to pass a transport rod.
[0013] In some embodiments, the lid includes an interconnected annular portion and a lug portion, the lug portion protruding from the outer periphery of the annular portion, and the transport hole penetrating the lug portion.
[0014] In some embodiments, the supporting body includes a top support and two first side supports spaced apart in the left-right direction of the garment processing equipment, wherein the top support connects the two first side supports at opposite ends in the left-right direction;
[0015] At least a portion of the lug is located on the lower part of the central perpendicular surface of the first cylindrical assembly near the first side support, the central perpendicular surface being a vertical surface passing through the axis of the first cylindrical assembly.
[0016] In some implementations, the wall of the transport hole is threaded for threaded engagement with the transport rod.
[0017] In some embodiments, the garment processing device includes two first connecting members, one end of which is connected to the first cylindrical assembly and the other end of which is connected to the supporting body. The two first connecting members are arranged at intervals along the front-rear direction of the first cylindrical assembly.
[0018] In the orthographic projection onto a vertical plane parallel to the axis of the first cylindrical assembly, the distance between the center of gravity of the first cylindrical assembly and the reference line is no more than 5 mm. The reference line is the perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the connection points of the first cylindrical assembly and the two first connecting members.
[0019] In some embodiments, the garment handling device further includes at least one second connecting member, one end of which is connected to the first bobbin assembly and the other end of which is connected to the supporting body.
[0020] The first connecting member and the second connecting member are located on opposite sides of the vertical plane of the first cylindrical assembly, and the two first connecting members are located on the same side of the vertical plane, which is a vertical plane passing through the axis of the first cylindrical assembly.
[0021] In some embodiments, the second connecting member is rotatably connected to the load-bearing body, and the elasticity of the first connecting member is greater than that of the second connecting member.
[0022] In some implementations, the first cylindrical assembly is suspended from the supporting body via the first connecting member and the second connecting member.

[0024] In the clothing processing device of this application embodiment, the density of the bucket lid is at least partially greater than that of the outer bucket, which makes the bucket lid have a greater weight. The bucket lid acts as a counterweight of the clothing processing device and can play a counterweight role, so that the first cylinder component does not need to be set with an additional counterweight block. This not only simplifies the structure of the first cylinder component, but also reduces the space occupied by the first cylinder component. It is beneficial to arrange the first cylinder component in the limited space of the supporting body, making the clothing processing device structure compact. Attached Figure Description

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0036] The specific technical features described in the specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. For example, different combinations of specific technical features can form different embodiments and technical solutions. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in this application will not be described separately.
[0037] In the following description, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used merely to distinguish different objects and do not indicate that the objects have the sameness or relationship. It should be understood that the directional descriptions "above," "below," "outside," and "inside" refer to the orientation under normal use conditions, while "left" and "right" refer to the left and right directions shown in the corresponding diagrams, which may or may not be the left and right directions under normal use conditions.
[0038] It should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element. "A plurality of" means two or more.
[0039] This application provides a garment processing device 1.
[0040] It is understood that the garment processing equipment 1 can include various forms, such as washing machines, spin dryers, dryers, washer-dryer combos, washer-dryer sets, etc. The garment processing equipment 1 can independently perform any one or more of the functions of washing, drying, and spin-drying.
[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The garment processing equipment 1 includes a supporting body 10 and at least one first cylinder assembly 20.
[0042] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, "at least one" refers to one or more.
[0043] The supporting body 10 has an installation space 10a. At least one of the first cylindrical body components 20 is disposed within the installation space 10a.
[0044] It is understood that the supporting body 10 is used to provide a accommodating space for the first cylindrical assembly 20, and the supporting body 10 has sufficient structural strength to serve as a load-bearing component, bearing vertical load and resisting horizontal forces. The first cylindrical assembly 20 is supported on the supporting body 10, and the supporting body 10 is able to bear at least the weight of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and its load.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 7 The first cylindrical assembly 20 includes an inner cylinder, an outer cylinder, and a lid 21. The inner cylinder is disposed inside the outer cylinder, and the lid 21 is disposed on the front side of the outer cylinder. Exemplarily, the outer cylinder is used to hold water, and the inner cylinder is used to hold clothing. In this embodiment, the inner cylinder holds water through the outer cylinder, and the inner cylinder can also be referred to as a perforated inner cylinder. In other embodiments, the inner cylinder holds water on its own, and can also be referred to as a non-perforated inner cylinder.
[0046] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the inner cylinder can rotate inside the outer cylinder. In other embodiments, the interior of the inner cylinder may have other structures, such as a rotatable impeller or other stirring structure. In this case, the inner cylinder may also be designed to not rotate.
[0047] It is understandable that the lid 21 is located on the front side of the outer bucket, and the lid 21 can strengthen the outer bucket to improve its structural strength.
[0048] Specifically, the front of the outer tub is open, and the inner diameter of the outer tub is larger than the outer diameter of the inner tub. The tub lid 21 is roughly annular, surrounding the open front of the outer tub and connecting to it. It should be noted that "front" refers to the front in the front-to-back direction, which is the front and rear of the garment processing equipment 1 during normal operation. The front-to-back direction is perpendicular to the height and left-to-right directions of the garment processing equipment 1. Figure 2 The direction indicated by the arrow in the "forward and backward direction" section.
[0049] In related technologies, in order to reduce the vibration of the cylinder assembly during rotation, it is necessary to set a counterweight block with a large weight on the cylinder assembly. However, the counterweight block will occupy a large volume, which is not convenient for the cylinder assembly to be arranged in a limited space.
[0050] Therefore, in the clothing processing device 1 provided in this application embodiment, the density of the lid 21 is at least partially greater than that of the outer bucket, so that the lid 21 has a larger weight. The lid 21 acts as a counterweight of the clothing processing device 1, which can play a counterweight role, so that the first cylinder assembly 20 does not need to be equipped with an additional counterweight block. This not only simplifies the structure of the first cylinder assembly 20, but also reduces the space occupied by the first cylinder assembly 20. It is beneficial to arrange the first cylinder assembly 20 in the limited space of the supporting body 10, so that the clothing processing device 1 has a compact structure.
[0051] For example, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The first cylinder assembly 20 includes a door seal ring, the garment handling device 1 includes a door body, the rear end of the door seal ring 25 is sealed to the lid 21 and / or the outer cylinder, and the front side of the door seal ring 25 is used to seal with the door body.
[0052] It should be noted that there are no restrictions on the specific method by which the density of the lid 21 is at least partially greater than that of the outer barrel.
[0053] For example, the lid 21 is at least partially of a metal structure.
[0054] It should be noted that the above-mentioned bucket lid 21 being at least partially of a metal structure means that part of the bucket lid 21 is of a metal structure, while the other part of the bucket lid 21 can be of a metal structure or a non-metal structure.
[0055] In some embodiments, the lid 21 is a one-piece structure. This improves the structural strength of the lid 21, ensures that the lid 21 is not easily deformed during the operation of the first cylindrical assembly 20, thereby improving the operational stability of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the lid 21.
[0056] In this embodiment, the bucket lid 21 can be an integral structure formed by a part of a metal structure and a part of a non-metal structure. For example, part of the bucket lid 21 is a metal structure and the other part is plastic, and the plastic is injection molded onto the surface of the metal structure to form an integral structure. Of course, the bucket lid 21 can also be an integral metal structure formed entirely of metal structures.
[0057] For example, the lid 21 is entirely made of metal. This allows the lid 21 to have a greater weight, ensuring the dynamic balance of the first cylindrical assembly 20 during rotation and reducing the vibration and noise generated by the first cylindrical assembly 20.
[0058] In this embodiment, the bucket lid 21 can be a split structure, for example, the bucket lid 21 is made of multiple metal structures connected together; the bucket lid 21 can also be a one-piece structure, for example, the bucket lid 21 is an integral metal structure, which can reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the bucket lid 21.
[0059] It should be noted that the specific weight of the lid 21 is not limited.
[0060] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first cylindrical assembly 20 includes a drive motor 24, which is located on the rear side of the outer cylinder and suspended from the outer cylinder. The drive motor 24 is used to drive the inner cylinder to rotate, and the drive motor 24 is coaxially arranged with the inner cylinder.
[0061] The aforementioned suspension on the outer barrel refers to the fact that the drive motor 24 is installed on the outer barrel, with the outer barrel providing installation support for the drive motor 24 and bearing the weight of the drive motor 24.
[0062] It is understandable that the bucket lid 21 and the drive motor 24 are located on the front and rear sides of the outer bucket, respectively. The drive motor 24 and the bucket lid 21 can act as counterweights for each other, which is conducive to the uniform weight distribution of the first cylinder assembly 20 in the front-rear direction. This helps to reduce the swaying of the first cylinder assembly 20 in the front-rear direction during operation and reduce the vibration and noise generated by the first cylinder assembly 20.
[0063] It should be noted that the specific weight ratio of the drive motor 24 to the lid 21 is not limited.
[0064] In some embodiments, the ratio of the weight G1 of the bucket lid 21 to the weight of the drive motor 24 (hereinafter referred to as G2) is 1.1 to 1.6, that is, 1.1≤G1 / G2≤1.6. For example, G1 / G2 can be 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 or 1.60.
[0065] Understandably, the ratio of the weight G1 of the lid 21 to the weight G2 of the drive motor 24 is reasonable, which makes the weight distribution on the front and rear sides of the first cylindrical assembly 20 more uniform. This is beneficial to improving the weight balance of the first cylindrical assembly 20, which can improve the stability of the first cylindrical assembly 20 during operation and reduce the vibration and noise generated by the first cylindrical assembly 20.
[0066] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The supporting body 10 includes a top support 11 and two first side supports 12 spaced apart in the left and right directions of the clothing processing equipment 1. The top support 11 is connected to the two first side supports 12 at opposite ends in the left and right directions. The top support 11 and the two first side supports 12 enclose an installation space 10a.
[0067] For example, one of the first side supports 12 may be located to the left of the top support 11, and the other first side support 12 may be located to the right of the top support 11.
[0068] Here, the top support 11 and the two first side supports 12 have a certain structural strength and can play a load-bearing role.
[0069] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The lid 21 includes an annular portion 211 and a lug portion 212 connected to each other, with the lug portion 212 protruding from the outer periphery of the annular portion 211. It is understood that the lug portion 212 can be arranged in a place with sufficient installation space, and the lug portion 212 helps to increase the weight of the lid 21 and improve the counterweight effect.
[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3At least a portion of the lug 212 is located on the central perpendicular plane of the first cylindrical assembly 20 (see reference). Figure 3 (As shown in Figure B) The lower part of the side near the first side support 12. This arrangement avoids the space directly below the first cylindrical assembly 20, making full use of the space below the first cylindrical assembly 20 near the first side support 12, resulting in a compact structure.
[0071] It should be noted that the phrase "at least a portion of the lug 212 is located in the lower part of the vertical surface B of the first cylindrical assembly 20 near the first side support 12" means that a portion of the lug 212 is located in the lower part of the vertical surface B of the first cylindrical assembly 20 near the first side support 12, while another portion of the lug 212 is located in the lower part of the vertical surface B of the first cylindrical assembly 20 away from the first side support 12. Alternatively, the entire lug 212 may be located in the lower part of the vertical surface B of the first cylindrical assembly 20 near the first side support 12.
[0072] It should be noted that the vertical plane B is a vertical plane passing through the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 20.
[0073] Please refer to Figure 3 In an embodiment where the two first cylindrical components 20 are located at the upper left and upper right of the second cylindrical component 30 respectively, the first cylindrical component 20 located at the upper left (hereinafter referred to as the left cylinder) has a lug 212 located at the lower left of the left cylinder.
[0074] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The lid 21 is provided with a transport hole 21a, which extends through the lid 21 along the front-to-back direction of the garment processing device 1. The transport hole 21a is used to insert a transport rod. It can be understood that when the garment processing device 1 is being transported, the transport rod passing through the transport hole 21a can reduce the shaking of the first cylinder assembly 20 and reduce the damage rate of the garment processing device 1 during transportation.
[0075] For example, the transport hole 21a extends at least through the portion of the lid 21 that is a metal structure. This increases the structural strength of the wall of the transport hole 21a, and reduces damage to the transport hole 21a caused by the movement of the transport rod within the transport hole 21a during the transport process of the garment handling equipment 1, thereby ensuring the integrity of the lid 21.
[0076] For example, the transport hole 21a extends through the lug 212. It is understood that the lug 212 has a relatively large size in the radial direction of the annular portion 211, which is beneficial for setting the transport hole 21a. When the transport rod passes through the transport hole 21a, the transport rod and the outer barrel of the first cylindrical assembly can maintain a relatively large distance in the radial direction, reducing the probability of interference or collision between the two.
[0077] In some embodiments, the wall of the transport hole 21a is threaded for threaded engagement with the transport rod. It is understood that the threaded engagement between the transport rod and the transport hole 21a means that the transport rod and the front cover 21 are fixedly connected. During transport, the first cylinder assembly 20 will not move back and forth relative to the transport rod, thereby improving the safety of the garment handling device 1 during transport.
[0078] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The garment processing equipment 1 includes two first connecting members 40. One end of the first connecting member 40 is connected to the first cylindrical assembly 20, and the other end is connected to the supporting body 10. The two first connecting members 40 are arranged at intervals along the front and rear direction of the first cylindrical assembly 20.
[0079] It is understood that the first connecting member 40 is used to establish a force transmission relationship between the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the supporting body 10, at least part of the weight of the first cylindrical assembly 20 is transferred to the first connecting member 40, and the first connecting member 40 transfers the weight to the supporting body 10.
[0080] In this way, the two first connecting members 40 are arranged at intervals in the front-to-back direction. The weight of the first cylinder assembly 20 can be transferred to the load-bearing body 10 through the first connecting members 40 on the front and back sides. This is conducive to the first connecting members 40 on the front and back sides forming a torque balance, and also conducive to the first connecting members 40 on the front and back sides being subjected to uniform force, reducing the excessive load on the first connecting member 40 on one side, and extending the service life of the first connecting member 40.
[0081] Please refer to Figure 8 The distance between the center of gravity of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the reference line (hereinafter referred to as X1) is no more than 5mm, i.e., X1≤5mm (millimeters). For example, X1 can be 0mm, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm or 5mm.
[0082] It should be noted that the reference line (please refer to...) Figure 8 As shown in Figure X, the perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the connection points of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the two first connecting members 40 (hereinafter referred to as connection points 40a) is the perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the two connection points 40a.
[0083] Understandably, the center of gravity of the first cylindrical assembly 20 can be located within 5mm in front of the reference line X, or within 5mm behind the reference line X.
[0084] In this way, the center of gravity of the first cylindrical assembly 20 is located in the middle area of the two connection points 40a. When the first cylindrical assembly 20 is supported in the bearing body 10 by the two first connecting members 40, it is beneficial for the first cylindrical assembly 20 to maintain balance, thereby reducing the vibration and noise generated by the first cylindrical assembly 20 during operation.
[0085] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The garment processing device 1 also includes at least one second connecting member 50. One end of the second connecting member 50 is connected to the first cylindrical assembly 20, and the other end is connected to the supporting body 10. The first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 are located on opposite sides of the vertical plane of the first cylindrical assembly 20, and the two first connecting members 40 are located on the same side of the vertical plane.
[0086] Thus, through the combined action of the second connecting member 50 and the first connecting member 40, the first cylindrical assembly 20 is better able to maintain a force balance and good stability, avoiding the first cylindrical assembly 20 from being in a cantilever support state (if the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 are both located on the same side of the vertical plane B, this force pattern can be understood as a cantilever support state, which is poor and may lead to failure or damage of some structures at the connection).
[0087] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second connecting member 50 is rotatably connected to the supporting body 10.
[0088] In other words, one end of the second connecting member 50 is connected to the first cylindrical assembly 20, and the other end is rotatably connected to the supporting body 10, so that the first cylindrical assembly 20 can rotate around the axis of the second connecting member 50. It should be noted that the rotatable connection does not mean that it will rotate at all times. It can be due to vibration under certain conditions. For example, when the clothing processing equipment 1 is in operation, the first cylindrical assembly 20 will vibrate, and at this time it can rotate around the rotation axis.
[0089] The axis of rotation of the second connecting member 50 can be referred to as the first axis (hereinafter referred to as Z, please refer to...). Figure 2 ).
[0090] The second cylindrical assembly 30 is capable of rotating relative to the supporting body 10 around the first axis Z. It can be understood that the second cylindrical assembly 30 revolves around the first axis. The inner cylinder of the first cylindrical assembly 20 can rotate on its own axis.
[0091] The second connecting member 50 is used to establish a force transmission relationship between the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the supporting body 10. At least part of the weight of the first cylindrical assembly 20 is transferred to the second connecting member 50, and the second connecting member 50 transfers the weight to the supporting body 10.
[0092] Understandably, the first axis can be a virtual straight line.
[0093] The elasticity of the first connecting member 40 is greater than that of the second connecting member 50.
[0094] It should be noted that the elasticity of the first connecting member 40 being greater than that of the second connecting member 50 includes the following two situations: first, the second connecting member 50 has almost no elasticity (which can be understood as a rigid member in a mechanical sense); second, the second connecting member 50 can exhibit some degree of elasticity, but the elasticity is less than that of the first connecting member 40.
[0095] The specific structure of the first connecting member 40 is not limited. For example, it may include at least one of a shock absorber and a suspension spring (a suspension spring being one form of the first elastic element). The shock absorber may be the shock absorber used in existing drum washing machines, which will not be described in detail here.
[0096] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first cylindrical assembly 20 is suspended from the supporting body 10 via the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50.
[0097] This can also be understood as the first connecting member 40 bearing the tensile force, and the second connecting member 50 bearing the tensile force. There is no need to set up other structures below the first cylindrical assembly 20 to support it; thus, the structure is compact, freeing up more usable space in the area below the first cylindrical assembly 20.
[0098] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The garment processing device 1 includes a second cylindrical assembly 30 disposed in the installation space 10a, and at least one first cylindrical assembly 20 is located above the second cylindrical assembly 30.
[0099] At least one of the aforementioned first tubular components 20 is located above the second tubular component 30. Here, "above" means that the axis of the first tubular component 20 is higher than the axis of the second tubular component 30. The first tubular component 20 can be located directly above, to the upper left of, or to the upper right of the second tubular component 30, etc. This allows for increased garment handling capacity without increasing floor space, and facilitates the independent operation of the first tubular component 20 and the second tubular component 30, or their sequential operation to achieve different functions.
[0100] It is understood that the first drum assembly 20 and the second drum assembly 30 can be used to perform the same clothing processing function or different clothing processing functions. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the first drum assembly 20 and the second drum assembly 30 can be used to wash or dry the same type of clothing or to wash or dry different types of clothing. For example, the first drum assembly 20 can wash or dry underwear, socks, etc., while the second drum assembly 30 can wash or dry outerwear, etc., thus enabling corresponding washing or drying for clothing of different sizes or with different washing or drying requirements, thereby increasing clothing processing efficiency and reliability. In other embodiments, one of the first drum assembly 20 and the second drum assembly 30 is used for washing clothes, and the other is used for drying clothes, thus providing multiple clothing processing functions.
[0101] It should be noted that the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the second cylindrical assembly 30 can work simultaneously or separately.
[0102] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 There are two first cylindrical components 20, which are located to the upper left and upper right of the second cylindrical component 30. Since the space directly above the second cylindrical component 30 is relatively small compared to the space to the upper left and upper right, this arrangement avoids the space directly above the second cylindrical component 30 and makes full use of the space to the upper left and upper right of the second cylindrical component 30.
[0103] For example, the first cylindrical assembly 20 has a first clothing handling cavity 20a, and the second cylindrical assembly 30 has a second clothing handling cavity 30a. Both the first clothing handling cavity 20a and the second clothing handling cavity 30a are used to hold clothing.
[0104] For example, the outer diameter of the second cylindrical assembly 30 is larger than the outer diameter of the first cylindrical assembly 20. The capacity of the second garment processing chamber 30a is larger than the capacity of the first garment processing chamber 20a. The second cylindrical assembly 30 can be referred to as a large cylinder, and the first cylindrical assembly 20 can be referred to as a small cylinder.
[0105] Thus, the second cylindrical assembly 30 can handle larger or larger quantities of clothing, such as outerwear, while the first cylindrical assembly 20 can handle smaller or smaller quantities of clothing, such as socks, underwear, or baby clothes.
