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 expect single garment handling units to offer functions such as zoned washing, zoned drying, or a combined wash and dryer. In related technologies, garment handling units are equipped with multiple drum assemblies; however, the limited space in existing garment handling equipment makes it inconvenient to arrange multiple drum assemblies. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present application aims to provide a garment processing device that rationally arranges multiple cylindrical components within the limited space of the garment processing device.

[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 second cylindrical assembly is disposed within the installation space, and the first cylindrical assembly is disposed above the second cylindrical assembly;

[0008] The projections of the first tubular assembly and the second tubular assembly onto a vertical plane parallel to the axis of the first tubular assembly have an overlapping area; wherein the ratio of the dimension of the overlapping area in the height direction of the garment processing device to the outer diameter of the first tubular assembly is 0.1 to 0.4.

[0009] In some embodiments, the ratio of the dimension of the overlapping region in the height direction of the garment handling device to the outer diameter of the second tube assembly is 2% to 5%.

[0010] In some embodiments, there are two first tube assemblies, which are located to the upper left and upper right of the second tube assembly. The ratio of the shortest distance between two adjacent first tube assemblies in the left-right direction of the garment processing device to the dimension of the supporting body in the left-right direction is 0.2 to 0.4.

[0011] In some embodiments, the garment processing device includes a first connecting member and a second connecting member, one end of the first connecting member being connected to the first tubular assembly and the other end being rotatably connected to the supporting body, and one end of the second connecting member being connected to the first tubular assembly and the other end being connected to the supporting body.

[0012] The first connecting member and the second connecting member are located on opposite sides of the vertical plane of the first cylindrical assembly, the vertical plane being a vertical plane passing through the axis of the first cylindrical assembly; the elasticity of the second connecting member is greater than that of the first connecting member.

[0013] In some embodiments, the distance from the connection position of the first connecting member to the carrier body to the connection position of the second connecting member to the carrier body in the left-right direction of the clothing processing equipment is 0.7 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the first tube assembly.

[0014] In some embodiments, each of the first tube assembly is rotatably connected to the support body via two first connecting members, the two first connecting members being coaxially arranged and spaced apart along the front-rear direction of the garment processing equipment, and the center of gravity of the first tube assembly is located between the two first connecting members in the front-rear direction.

[0015] And / or, each of the first tube assembly is connected to the supporting body via two second connecting members, the two second connecting members being coaxially arranged and spaced apart along the front-rear direction of the garment processing equipment, wherein the center of gravity of the first tube assembly is located between the two second connecting members in the front-rear direction.

[0016] 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. The top support connects the two first side supports at opposite ends in the left-right direction, and the top support and the two first side supports enclose the installation space. The first connecting member is closer to the first side support than the second connecting member.

[0017] 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. The top support connects to the two first side supports at opposite ends in the left-right direction, and the top support and the two first side supports enclose the installation space.

[0018] The end of the first connecting member away from the first cylinder assembly is connected to the top support or the first side support via a connecting shaft; and / or, the end of the second connecting member away from the first cylinder assembly is connected to the top support or the first side support.

[0019] In some embodiments, the ratio of the outer diameter of the first tube assembly to the dimension of the supporting body in the left-right direction of the garment processing equipment is 0.23 to 0.28;

[0020] And / or, the ratio of the outer diameter of the first tube assembly to the dimension of the supporting body in the height direction of the garment processing equipment is 0.17 to 0.21.

[0021] In some embodiments, the ratio of the outer diameter of the second cylindrical assembly to the dimension of the supporting body in the left-right direction is 0.82 to 1.0;

[0022] And / or, the ratio of the outer diameter of the second cylindrical assembly to the dimension of the supporting body in the height direction is 0.6 to 0.75.

[0023] The garment processing device provided in this application embodiment has an overlapping area between the projections of the first and second cylindrical components, which allows the height dimension of the projections of the first and second cylindrical components to be smaller than the sum of the outer diameters of the first and second cylindrical components. This results in a more compact structure and helps to keep the height dimension of the garment processing device as small as possible. Attached Figure Description

[0029] 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.

[0030] 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.

[0031] 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.

[0032] 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.

[0033] This application provides a garment processing device 1.

[0034] 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.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 The garment processing equipment 1 includes a supporting body 10, at least one first cylindrical assembly 20, and a second cylindrical assembly 30.

[0036] The supporting body 10 has an installation space 10a. The second cylinder assembly 30 and at least one of the first cylinder assemblies 20 are both disposed within the installation space 10a.

[0037] It is understood that the supporting body 10 is used to provide accommodating space for the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the second cylindrical assembly 30, and the supporting body 10 has sufficient structural strength to serve as a load-bearing component, vertically bearing weight and resisting horizontal forces. The first cylindrical assembly 20 and the second cylindrical assembly 30 are supported on the supporting body 10, and the supporting body 10 is capable of bearing at least the weight of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the second cylindrical assembly 30 and their respective loads.

[0038] A first cylindrical assembly 20 is disposed above the second cylindrical assembly 30.

[0039] Thus, since the second cylindrical assembly 30 is located below a first cylindrical assembly 20, the vertical stacking design can reduce the lateral space of the garment processing device 1, thereby making the overall size of the garment processing device 1 more suitable.

[0040] Furthermore, 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, or children's clothing; the second drum assembly 30 can wash or dry outerwear, thus enabling corresponding washing or drying for clothing of different sizes or with different washing or drying requirements, increasing clothing processing efficiency and reliability. In other embodiments, the first drum assembly 20 is used for washing clothes, and the second drum assembly 30 is used for drying clothes, thus providing multiple clothing processing functions.

[0041] It should be noted that the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the second cylindrical assembly 30 can work simultaneously or separately.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 3 The first cylindrical assembly 20 and the second cylindrical assembly 30 are located in a vertical plane parallel to the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 20 (hereinafter referred to as B, please refer to...). Figure 3 The projections shown have overlapping regions.

[0043] Understandably, with the vertical plane parallel to the height direction of the garment processing device 1, the overlapping area of ​​the projections of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the second cylindrical assembly 30 ensures that the dimensions of the projections of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the second cylindrical assembly 30 in the height direction are smaller than the sum of the outer diameters of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the second cylindrical assembly 30. This contributes to a more compact structure and helps to keep the height dimension of the garment processing device 1 as small as possible.

[0044] For example, the first cylindrical assembly 20 is located at the upper left of the second cylindrical assembly 30, or the first cylindrical assembly 20 is located at the upper right of the second cylindrical assembly 30. Since the space directly above the second cylindrical assembly 30 is smaller than the spaces at the upper left and upper right, this arrangement avoids the space directly above the second cylindrical assembly 30 and makes full use of the upper left and upper right positions of the second cylindrical assembly 30.

[0045] For example, the first cylindrical assembly 20 has a first clothing handling cavity 20a. The first clothing handling cavity 20a is used to hold clothing.

[0046] It should be noted that there are no restrictions on the specific size of the overlapping area.

[0047] For example, please refer to Figure 3 The dimension of the overlapping area in the height direction of the garment processing equipment 1 (hereinafter referred to as H1, please refer to...) Figure 3 The outer diameter of the first cylindrical assembly 20 (hereinafter referred to as D1, please refer to...) Figure 3 The ratio of H1 to D1 is 0.1 to 0.4, that is, 0.1 ≤ H1 / D1 ≤ 0.4. For example, H1 / D1 can be 0.10, 0.11, 0.12, 0.123, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35 or 0.40, etc.

[0048] It is understandable that the ratio of the dimension H1 of the overlapping area in the height direction to the outer diameter D1 of the first cylindrical assembly 20 is reasonable, achieving both structural compactness in the height direction and in the lateral direction. Specifically, a suitable safe distance is maintained between the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the second cylindrical assembly 30 to prevent collisions during operation. If the aforementioned overlapping area of ​​the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the second cylindrical assembly 30 exceeds 0.4, the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the second cylindrical assembly 30 will occupy a large amount of space in the lateral direction, thus significantly increasing the lateral dimension of the supporting body 10.

[0049] It should be noted that the left and right directions refer to the left and right sides of the garment processing device 1 during normal operation. These directions are perpendicular to the height and front-back directions of the garment processing device 1. Figure 1 The direction indicated by the arrows in the middle for "left and right".

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The overlapping area, in the height direction of the garment processing equipment 1, has a dimension H1 that is the same as the outer diameter of the second bobbin assembly 30 (hereinafter referred to as D2, please refer to...). Figure 3 The ratio is 2% to 5%, that is, 2% ≤ H1 / D2 ≤ 5%. For example, H1 / D2 is 2%, 2.2%, 2.4%, 2.6%, 2.8%, 3.0%, 3.5%, 4.0%, 4.1%, 4.3%, 4.5%, 4.7%, or 5.0%, etc.

[0051] It is understandable that, when the outer diameter of the second tube assembly 30 is the same as that of the tube assembly of the existing single-tube clothing processing device 1, the ratio of the dimension H1 of the overlapping area in the height direction to the outer diameter D2 of the second tube assembly 30 in this embodiment is reasonable. This not only makes effective use of the space in the height direction, but also facilitates the reasonable layout of the first tube assembly without changing the dimension of the existing supporting body 10 in the width direction.

[0052] For example, the second cylindrical assembly 30 has a second clothing handling cavity 30a. The second clothing handling cavity 30a is used to hold clothing.

[0053] 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.

[0054] 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.

[0055] In this embodiment, the volume of the second clothing processing chamber 30a is larger than that of the first clothing processing chamber 20a, and the weight of the second cylindrical assembly 30 located below is heavier, which can facilitate the reduction of the overall center of gravity of the clothing processing device 1 and increase the stability of the clothing processing device 1.

[0056] In some embodiments, please refer to 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. The ratio of the shortest distance between two adjacent first cylindrical components 20 in the left-right direction to the dimension of the supporting body 10 in the left-right direction is 0.2 to 0.4, that is, 0.2≤L1 / L≤0.4. Taking the dimension of the supporting body 10 as the standard box dimension as an example, when L is 600mm, 240mm≥L1≥120mm. For example, L1 is 120mm, 130mm, 140mm, 150mm, 160mm, 162mm, 170mm, 180mm, 190mm, 200mm, 210mm, 220mm, 230mm or 240mm, etc.

[0057] It is understandable that the shortest distance between two adjacent first cylinder components 20 in the left and right directions is reasonable, and more space can be freed up between or below the two first cylinder components 20 to install parts or accommodate part of the second cylinder component 30, which helps to keep the height dimension of the garment processing equipment 1 as small as possible.

[0058] It should be noted that the dimension L of the above-mentioned supporting body 10 in the left-right direction refers to the farthest distance between the two first side supports 12 in the left-right direction, that is, the distance from the left outer surface of the left first side support 12 to the right outer surface of the right first side support 12.

[0059] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The outer diameter of the first cylindrical assembly 20 (hereinafter referred to as D1, please refer to...) Figure 3 The ratio of the dimension D1 to the dimension L of the supporting body 10 in the left-right direction is 0.23 to 0.28, that is, 0.23 ≤ D1 / L ≤ 0.28. Taking the dimension of the supporting body 10 as the standard box dimension as an example, when L is 600mm, 168mm ≥ D1 ≥ 138mm. For example, D1 can be 138mm, 140mm, 145mm, 150mm, 154mm, 160mm, 165mm, or 168mm, etc.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first clothing processing cavity 20a of the first cylindrical assembly 20 has a relatively large volume, while also taking into account a relatively small size in the left and right direction of the supporting body 10, which is conducive to maintaining a reasonable distance between two adjacent first cylindrical assemblies 20 in the left and right direction.

[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The outer diameter D1 of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the height dimension of the supporting body 10 (hereinafter referred to as H, please refer to...) Figure 3 The ratio of D1 / H is 0.17 to 0.21, i.e., 0.17 ≤ D1 / H ≤ 0.21. In this embodiment, the first clothing processing cavity 20a of the first cylindrical assembly 20 can have a relatively large volume, while also occupying a relatively small size in the height direction of the supporting body 10. This allows more space to be reserved below the first cylindrical assembly 20 to accommodate the second cylindrical assembly 30, which helps to maintain a reasonable size of the supporting body 10 in the height direction.

[0062] Taking the dimensions of the main body 10 as the standard box size as an example, when H is 800mm, 168mm≥D1≥136mm. For example, D1 can be 136mm, 138mm, 140mm, 145mm, 150mm, 154mm, 160mm, 165mm or 168mm, etc.

[0063] It should be noted that the dimension H of the supporting body 10 in the height direction refers to the dimension of the first side support 12 in the height direction, excluding the height of the top support 11 and the feet of the garment processing equipment. For example, in a standard housing, the dimension H of the supporting body 10 in the height direction is 790mm to 810mm, and the height of the entire garment processing equipment is 840mm to 860mm.

[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The outer diameter of the second cylindrical assembly 30 (hereinafter referred to as D2, please refer to...) Figure 3 The ratio of the dimension L of the load-bearing body 10 in the left-right direction is 0.82 to 1.0, that is, 0.82 ≤ D2 / L ≤ 1.0. Taking the dimension of the load-bearing body 10 as the standard box dimension as an example, when L is 600mm, 600mm ≥ D2 ≥ 492mm. For example, D2 can be 492mm, 500mm, 510mm, 520mm, 530mm, 540mm, 542mm, 550mm, 556mm, 560mm, 570mm, or 600mm, etc.

[0065] In related technologies, the washing equipment uses a standard cabinet size for the single-drum washing machine, where the outer diameter of the single drum is generally 480mm to 570mm.

[0066] In this embodiment, the second drum assembly 30 can fully utilize the space in the left-right direction of the supporting body 10. When the width of the supporting body 10 in the left-right direction is the same (e.g., a standard box width of 600mm), the volume of the second drum assembly 30 can be comparable to that of a single-drum washing machine in the related art. Thus, without reducing the volume of the main drum, at least two smaller drums can be added to improve the space utilization of the laundry processing equipment 1.

[0067] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The ratio of the outer diameter D2 of the second cylindrical assembly 30 to the height dimension H of the supporting body 10 is 0.6 to 0.75, i.e., 0.6 ≤ D2 / H ≤ 0.75. Taking the dimensions of the supporting body 10 as the standard box dimensions as an example, when H is 800mm, 600mm ≥ D2 ≥ 480mm. For example, D2 can be 480mm, 490mm, 500mm, 510mm, 520mm, 530mm, 540mm, 542mm, 550mm, 556mm, 560mm, or 600mm, etc.

[0068] In this embodiment, the volume of the second tub assembly 30 is comparable to that of a single-tub washing device in the related art. Moreover, the second tub assembly 30 occupies a reasonable size in the height direction of the supporting body 10, which can reserve sufficient space for the installation of the first tub assembly 20 above, and helps to maintain a reasonable size of the supporting body 10 in the height direction.

[0069] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The garment processing equipment 1 includes a first connecting member 40 and a second connecting member 50. One end of the first connecting member 40 is connected to the first cylindrical assembly 20, and the other end is rotatably connected to the supporting body 10.

[0070] In other words, the first cylindrical assembly 20 can rotate about the axis of the other end of the first connecting member 40. It should be noted that the rotational connection does not rotate at all times; it can rotate under certain conditions of vibration. For example, during the operation of the garment processing equipment 1, the first cylindrical assembly 20 may vibrate, at which point it can rotate about the rotation axis.

[0071] The axis of rotation of the first connecting member 40 can be denoted as the first axis (please refer to...). Figure 2 (As shown in Z).

[0072] The first cylindrical assembly 20 is capable of rotating relative to the supporting body 10 around a first axis. It can be understood that the first cylindrical assembly 20 revolves around the first axis. The inner cylinder of the first cylindrical assembly 20 can rotate on its own axis.

[0073] 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.

[0074] Understandably, the first axis can be a virtual straight line.

[0075] The second connecting member 50 is connected at one end to the first cylindrical assembly 20 and at the other end to the supporting body 10. The elasticity of the second connecting member 50 is greater than that of the first connecting member 40.

[0076] It should be noted that the elasticity of the second connecting member 50 being greater than that of the first connecting member 40 includes the following two situations: first, the first connecting member 40 has almost no elasticity (which can be understood as a rigid member in a mechanical sense); second, the first connecting member 40 can exhibit some degree of elasticity, but the elasticity is less than that of the second connecting member 50.

[0077] 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 vertical plane is a vertical plane passing through the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 20; the elasticity of the second connecting member 50 is greater than that of the first connecting member 40.

[0078] 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 vertical plane is a vertical plane passing through the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 20, i.e. Figure 3 As shown in B. 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 a cantilever support stress 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 stress state can be understood as a cantilever support stress state, which is poor and may lead to failure or damage of some structures at the connection).

[0079] Understandably, when the first cylindrical assembly 20 vibrates, the effective length of the second connecting member 50 can change due to its elasticity. Therefore, the second connecting member 50 and the first connecting member 40 allow the entire first cylindrical assembly 20 to rotate around the rotation axis of the first connecting member 40 to release vibrational energy. Furthermore, the first connecting member 40 enables the first cylindrical assembly 20 to maintain a substantially fixed rotation axis (i.e., the position of the first axis does not significantly shift). The first cylindrical assembly 20 experiences almost no radial displacement around the first axis, instead rotating around the rotation axis. This allows the first cylindrical assembly 20 to maintain a small safe distance from other structures in the aforementioned radial direction, contributing to a compact structure.

[0080] It should be noted that the specific structure of the second connecting member 50 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.

[0081] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The rotation axis of the first connecting member 40 is parallel to the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 20. The first axis can be approximately parallel to the front-back direction of the clothing processing device 1.

[0082] In other words, the first cylindrical assembly 20 can rotate around a horizontal axis, making the movement of the first cylindrical assembly 20 more stable and more convenient to absorb the lateral vibration energy of the first cylindrical assembly 20, increasing the vibration reduction effect and improving the overall stability of the clothing processing equipment 1.

[0083] In some embodiments, the garment processing device 1 includes a connecting shaft, at least one of the support body 10 and the first connecting member 40 having a shaft hole, and the connecting shaft passes through the shaft hole to rotatably connect the first tube assembly 20 to the support body 10.

[0084] It is understood that at least one of the first connecting member 40 and the bearing body 10 is provided with a shaft hole, and the connecting shaft passes through the shaft hole. Alternatively, the first connecting member 40 may be provided with a shaft hole, one end of the connecting shaft may be fixedly connected to the bearing body 10, and the other end may pass through the shaft hole of the first connecting member 40; alternatively, the bearing body 10 may be provided with a shaft hole, one end of the connecting shaft may be fixedly connected to the first connecting member 40, and the other end may pass through the shaft hole of the bearing body 10; alternatively, both the first connecting member 40 and the bearing body 10 may be provided with shaft holes, one end of the connecting shaft may pass through the shaft hole of the bearing body 10, and the other end may pass through the shaft hole of the first connecting member 40.

[0085] 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.

[0086] 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.

[0087] Here, the top support 11 and the two first side supports 12 have a certain structural strength and can play a load-bearing role.

[0088] For example, the first connecting member 40 is closer to the first side support 12 than the second connecting member 50. For instance, regarding the upper left first cylindrical assembly 20, of the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 connected to the upper left first cylindrical assembly 20, the first connecting member 40 is closer to the left side support 12 than the second connecting member 50. Similarly, regarding the upper right first cylindrical assembly 20, of the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 connected to the upper right first cylindrical assembly 20, the first connecting member 40 is closer to the right side support 12 than the second connecting member 50.

[0089] In this embodiment, the first connecting member 40 is located relatively close to the left-right edge of the supporting body 10. The edge provides stronger structural strength and rigidity, reduces vibration amplitude, and improves the stability of the clothing processing equipment 1. Furthermore, since the first connecting member 40 is located relatively close to the left-right edge of the supporting body 10, the first axis is also located close to the left-right edge of the supporting body 10, making full use of the space at the left-right edge of the supporting body 10.

[0090] In some embodiments, the end of the first connecting member 40 away from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is connected to the top support 11 or the first side support 12 via a connecting shaft; and / or, the end of the second connecting member 50 away from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is connected to the top support 11 or the first side support 12.

[0091] It should be noted that the above can include several scenarios. First: The end of the first connecting member 40 furthest from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is connected to the top support 11 via a connecting shaft, and the end of the second connecting member 50 furthest from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is also connected to the top support 11. Second: The end of the first connecting member 40 furthest from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is connected to the top support 11 via a connecting shaft, and the end of the second connecting member 50 furthest from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is connected to the first side support 12. Third: The end of the first connecting member 40 furthest from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is connected to the first side support 12 via a connecting shaft, and the end of the second connecting member 50 furthest from the first cylindrical assembly 20 is connected to the top support 11.

[0092] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 Each first cylindrical assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the supporting body 10 via two first connecting members 40. The two first connecting members 40 are coaxially arranged and spaced apart along the front-back direction of the garment processing equipment 1. In the front-back direction, the center of gravity of the first cylindrical assembly 20 is located between the two first connecting members 40.

[0093] In this embodiment, the weight and load of the first cylindrical assembly 20 are at least partially transferred to the supporting body 10 through the two first connecting members 40. The center of gravity of the first cylindrical assembly 20 is reasonably distributed, so that the supporting force of the two first connecting members 40 on the first cylindrical assembly 20 is reasonably distributed. During the vibration of the first cylindrical assembly 20, the polarization of the first cylindrical assembly 20 can be reduced, thereby reducing the vibration of the first cylindrical assembly 20.

[0094] For example, please refer to Figure 2 Each first cylindrical assembly 20 is connected to the supporting body 10 via two second connecting members 50. The two second connecting members 50 are coaxially arranged and spaced apart along the front-back direction of the garment processing equipment 1. In the front-back direction, the center of gravity of the first cylindrical assembly 20 is located between the two second connecting members 50.

[0095] It is understandable that during the vibration process, when the first cylinder assembly 20 rotates as a whole around the first axis Z, it can reduce the difference in the effective length of the two connecting members, which is beneficial to maintaining the rotational stability of the first cylinder assembly 20.

[0096] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The distance in the left-right direction from the connection position of the first connecting member 40 to the connection position of the second connecting member 50 to the load-bearing body 10 (hereinafter referred to as L2, please refer to...) Figure 3 The ratio of L2 / D1 to the outer diameter D1 of the first cylindrical assembly 20 is not less than 0.7, that is, L2 / D1≥0.7. For example, L2 / D1 is 0.7, 0.8, 0.84, 0.9 or 1.0, etc.

[0097] It is understood that the first cylindrical assembly 20 establishes a force transmission path with the supporting body 10 through the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50, and the connection position between the first connecting member 40 and the supporting body 10 is described as the first position 40a, and the connection position between the second connecting member 50 and the supporting body 10 is described as the second position 50a.

[0098] Thus, the distance between the first position 40a and the second position 50a in the left and right directions is L2, which makes the distance between the first position 40a and the second position 50a in the left and right directions relatively large, so that the second connecting member 50 has enough room to move and can better absorb the impact force of the first cylinder assembly 20 during operation, thereby reducing the vibration of the first cylinder assembly 20.

[0099] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The distance L2 in the left-right direction between the connection position of the first connecting member 40 and the support body 10 and the connection position of the second connecting member 50 and the support body 10, and the outer diameter D1 of the first cylindrical assembly 20, shall not be greater than 1.4, that is, 1.4≥L2 / D1. For example, L2 / D1 is 1.4, 1.3, 1.2, 1.1, 1.0, 0.9, 0.84, 0.8 or 0.7, etc.

[0100] In this embodiment, the distance between the first position 40a and the second position 50a in the left and right directions is small, which can reduce the space occupied by the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50. It can also ensure that when the first cylinder assembly 20 is eccentrically loaded, the difference in the force borne by the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of failure of the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 and ensuring the operational stability of the first cylinder assembly 20.
