[0045] The following is a detailed description of this application.

[0046] This application provides a garment processing device 100.

[0047] It is understood that the garment processing equipment 100 may include various forms, such as washing machines, dehydrators, dryers, washer-dryer combos, washer-dryer sets, etc. The garment processing equipment 100 can independently perform any one or more of the functions of washing, drying, and dehydration.

[0048] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The garment processing device 100 includes a housing 30, at least one first cylindrical assembly 10, and at least one transport rod 40. The housing 30 includes a front support 34 and a rear support 33 spaced apart in the front-rear direction of the garment processing device 100. The rear support 33 has at least one first through hole 331, and the front support 34 has at least one second through hole 341. The first cylindrical assembly 10 is disposed within the housing 30. The transport rod 40 passes through the first through hole 331 and the second through hole 341 and is fixedly connected to the first cylindrical assembly 10.

[0049] Understandably, the housing 30 is used to provide a accommodating space for the first cylindrical assembly 10. The housing 30 is provided with an installation space and has sufficient structural strength to serve as a load-bearing component, capable of vertical load-bearing and resisting horizontal forces. The first cylindrical assembly 10 is supported on the housing 30, and the housing 30 is capable of bearing at least the weight of the first cylindrical assembly 10 and its load.

[0050] Here, the number of first perforations 331 corresponds one-to-one with the number of transport rods 40.

[0051] For example, the transport rod 40 is engaged with the first cylinder assembly 10 in the front-back direction of the garment handling device 100, that is, the axial direction of the transport rod 40 is parallel or substantially parallel to the front-back direction of the garment handling device 100.

[0052] The position where the transport rod 40 is fixedly connected to the first cylinder assembly 10 is spaced apart from the first through hole 331 along the axial direction of the transport rod 40 to improve the connection stability of the transport rod 40.

[0053] For example, the number of first cylindrical components 10 can be one or more.

[0054] In the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to two or more items.

[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The housing 30 includes two side supports 32 spaced apart in the left and right directions of the clothing processing device 100. The rear support 33 connects the rear sides of the two side supports 32 at opposite ends in the left and right directions. The first through hole 331 passes through the rear support 33 in the front and back directions of the clothing processing device 100. The front support 34 connects the front sides of the two side supports 32 at opposite ends in the left and right directions. The second through hole 341 passes through the front support 34 in the front and back directions of the clothing processing device 100.

[0056] For example, the rear support 33 may be the rear plate of the housing 30.

[0057] For example, one side support 32 may be located to the left of the rear support 33, and the other side support 32 may be located to the right of the rear support 33.

[0058] Here, the front support 34, the rear support 33, and the two side supports 32 have a certain structural strength and can play a load-bearing role.

[0059] For example, the center of the second perforation 341 coincides with the center of the first perforation 331, so that the two ends of the transport rod 40 along the axial direction can pass through the first perforation 331 and the second perforation 341.

[0060] By setting the first perforation 331 on the rear support 33 and the second perforation 341 on the front support 34, and setting the transport rod 40 along the front-rear direction of the garment processing device 100, the end of the transport rod 40 near the rear end of the garment processing device 100 passes through the first perforation 331, and the end of the transport rod 40 near the front end of the garment processing device 100 is fixedly connected to the first bucket lid 13 and passes through the second perforation 341, so as to further improve the connection reliability of the transport rod 40.

[0061] For example, the transport rod 40 is clearance-fitted with the wall of the second through hole 341, which facilitates the assembly of the transport rod 40 and also provides support for the transport rod 40, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the transport rod 40 and the housing 30. Furthermore, it also helps the transport rod 40 to support the first cylindrical assembly 10.

[0062] In the garment processing device 100 provided in this application embodiment, by passing the transport rod 40 through the first through hole 331 and the second through hole 341 of the housing 30 and connecting the transport rod 40 to the first cylindrical assembly 10, the rotation and vibration of the first cylindrical assembly 10 relative to the housing 30 can be limited, thereby improving the stability of the first cylindrical assembly 10 during transportation. In addition, by fixing the transport rod 40 to the first cylindrical assembly 10, the relative displacement between the first cylindrical assembly 10 and the transport rod 40 in the axial direction of the transport rod 40 can be limited, that is, the vibration of the first cylindrical assembly 10 along the front-back direction of the garment processing device 100 can be limited, thereby further improving the stability of the first cylindrical assembly 10 during transportation.

[0063] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The transport rod 40 is fixedly connected to the front side of the first cylinder assembly 10.

[0064] Since the front part of the cylinder is relatively heavy, fixing the transport rod 40 to the front side of the first cylinder assembly 10 will help to further improve the vibration reduction effect.

[0065] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The garment processing equipment 100 includes a second cylindrical assembly 20 disposed inside a housing 30, and at least one first cylindrical assembly 10 located above the second cylindrical assembly 20.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first cylindrical assembly 10 and the second cylindrical assembly 20 may be disposed within the same mounting space of the housing 30. In some other embodiments, the housing 30 may be divided into different mounting spaces by other components, with the first cylindrical assembly 10 and the second cylindrical assembly 20 respectively disposed within different mounting spaces of the housing 30.

[0067] For example, the cabinet 30 can be a standard cabinet 30. In this way, while meeting the user's needs for zoned washing, the size of the clothes handling equipment 100 can be increased without increasing the size of the standard cabinet 30. This reduces costs and does not require adjustment of the user's placement location, thus improving ease of use.

[0068] For example, the height of the standard box 30 can be 850mm and the width of the standard box 30 can be 600mm.

[0069] It is understood that the first drum assembly 10 and the second drum assembly 20 can be used to perform the same clothing processing function or different clothing processing functions. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the first drum assembly 10 and the second drum assembly 20 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 10 can wash or dry underwear, socks, etc., while the second drum assembly 20 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 10 and the second drum assembly 20 is used for washing clothing, and the other is used for drying clothing, thus providing multiple clothing processing functions.

[0070] It should be noted that the first cylindrical assembly 10 and the second cylindrical assembly 20 can work simultaneously or separately.

[0071] Please see Figure 1 The first tubular assembly 10 is located above the second tubular assembly 20. "Above" means that the axis of the first tubular assembly 10 is higher than the axis of the second tubular assembly 20. The first tubular assembly 10 can be located directly above, to the upper left of, or to the upper right of the second tubular assembly 20, etc. This increases garment handling capacity without increasing floor space and facilitates independent operation of the first tubular assembly 10 and the second tubular assembly 20, or their sequential operation to achieve different functions.

[0072] It is understood that the specific construction of the first cylindrical assembly 10 is not limited. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 7 The first cylindrical assembly 10 includes a first inner cylinder 11, a first outer cylinder 12 and a first cylinder cover 13. The first inner cylinder 11 is rotatably disposed inside the first outer cylinder 12, and the first cylinder cover 13 is disposed on the front side of the first outer cylinder 12. The transport rod 40 is fixedly connected to the first cylinder cover 13.

[0073] The first outer tub 12 is fitted over the first inner tub 11. The first outer tub 12 is used to hold water, and the first inner tub 11 is used to hold clothes. In this embodiment, the first inner tub 11 holds water through the first outer tub 12, and the first inner tub 11 can also be referred to as a perforated inner tub. In other embodiments, the first inner tub 11 holds water on its own, and can also be referred to as a non-perforated inner tub.

[0074] It is understandable that the first barrel lid 13 is located on the front side of the first outer barrel 12, and the first barrel lid 13 can strengthen the first outer barrel 12 to improve the structural strength of the first outer barrel 12.

[0075] It should be noted that "front" refers to the front in the front-to-back direction. The front-to-back direction refers to the front and back of the garment processing equipment 100 during normal operation. The front-to-back direction is perpendicular to the height and left-to-right direction of the garment processing equipment 100. Figure 3 The direction indicated by the arrow in the "forward and backward direction" section.

[0076] For example, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 The first cylindrical assembly 10 includes a door seal 14, a first barrel lid 13 with an opening, a rear end of the door seal 14 being sandwiched between the first barrel lid 13 and the outer barrel, and a front end of the door seal 14 extending through the opening to the front side of the first barrel lid 13. Thus, the first barrel lid 13, together with the first outer barrel 12, can restrain the door seal 14, reducing the risk of the door seal 14 falling off. Furthermore, the door seal 14 can prevent liquid from overflowing from the gap between the first barrel lid 13 and the first outer barrel 12.

[0077] For example, the door seal 14 has a clothing loading port communicating with the first inner drum 11, and the clothing handling device 100 has a door assembly for opening or closing the clothing loading port. When the clothing loading port is closed, the front end of the door seal 14 abuts against the door assembly to prevent liquid in the first outer drum 12 or the first inner drum 11 from overflowing from the clothing loading port.

[0078] By fixing the transport rod 40 to the first barrel lid 13, that is, forming a connection structure on the first barrel lid 13 that mates with the transport rod 40, instead of forming a connection structure on the first inner cylinder 11 and the first outer barrel 12 that mates with the transport rod 40, a fixed connection between the transport rod 40 and the first barrel assembly 10 is achieved. This facilitates the forming of the connection structure that mates with the transport rod 40 and minimizes the impact on the first inner cylinder 11 and the first outer barrel 12.

[0079] It is understood that the specific structure of the second cylindrical assembly 20 is not limited. The second cylindrical assembly 20 may include a second outer tub and a second inner tub, with the second outer tub fitted over the second inner tub. The second outer tub is used to hold water, and the second inner tub is used to hold clothing. In this embodiment, the second inner tub holds water through the second outer tub, and the second inner tub may also be referred to as a perforated inner tub. In other embodiments, the second inner tub holds water on its own, and may also be referred to as a non-perforated inner tub.

[0080] It should be noted that the specific method of fixing the transport rod 40 to the first cylinder assembly 10 is not limited here. For example, it can be a fastening connection, a snap-fit ​​connection, etc.

[0081] In some embodiments, the weight of the first cylindrical assembly 10 does not exceed 10 kg.

[0082] It should be noted that the weight of the first cylindrical assembly 10 refers to the weight of the entire cylindrical assembly, including the first inner cylinder 11, the first outer cylinder 12, the first cylinder lid 13, the motor, and the counterweight.

[0083] Here, by fixing the transport rod 40 to the first cylindrical assembly 10, the movement of the first cylindrical assembly 10 in the front-back direction of the transport rod 40 can be reduced, the vibration displacement is reduced, and since the weight of the first cylindrical assembly 10 does not exceed 10kg, the deformation of the box 30 due to excessive weight of the first cylindrical assembly 10 can be avoided to a certain extent.

[0084] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The first bucket lid 13 is provided with a transport hole 131, which extends through the first bucket lid 13 along the front-back direction of the clothing processing equipment 100. The outer wall of the transport rod 40 is provided with threads for engaging with the transport hole 131.

[0085] For example, the wall of the transport hole 131 is provided with an internal thread, and the transport rod 40 is provided with a corresponding external thread. The transport rod 40 and the first barrel cover 13 are connected by the internal and external threads to achieve a fast connection. Here, the transport hole 131 can be formed on a plastic part or on a metal part.

[0086] For example, the transport hole 131 is a plastic part, and the transport rod 40 is a metal part. The plastic part has no threads, while the metal part has threads. The transport rod 40 mates with the plastic part.

[0087] For example, the first barrel lid 13 includes an annular structure and a protrusion 132 that protrudes radially outward along the annular structure, and a transport hole 131 is formed in the protrusion 132.

[0088] By providing threads on the wall of the transport hole 131 for threaded engagement with the transport rod 40, the transport rod 40 is fixedly connected to the first barrel cover 13, while also facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the transport rod 40, thus improving ease of use.

[0089] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 3 The transport rod 40 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the first barrel lid 13.

[0090] The lower part of the first barrel lid 13 refers to the portion located below the reference plane of the first cylindrical assembly 10, where the reference plane is a horizontal plane passing through the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 10. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the reference plane is denoted by N.

[0091] For example, the transport rod 40 is located below the first inner cylinder 11 and the first outer cylinder 12.

[0092] By fixing the transport rod 40 to the lower part of the first barrel cover 13, the transport rod 40 can support the first barrel assembly 10.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first bucket lid 13 is at least partially of a metal structure, and the transport rod 40 is fixedly connected to the metal structure of the first bucket lid 13.

[0094] The first bucket lid 13 may be partially metal, and the other part of the first bucket lid 13 may be either metal or non-metal. That is, the first bucket lid 13 may be partially metal or entirely metal.

[0095] For example, the first barrel lid 13 is a one-piece structure. This can improve the structural strength of the first barrel lid 13. On the one hand, it can ensure that the first barrel lid 13 is not easily deformed during the operation of the first barrel assembly 10, thereby improving the operational stability of the first barrel assembly 10. On the other hand, it can enhance the reinforcing effect of the first barrel lid 13 on the structural strength of the first outer barrel 12.

[0096] The transport rod 40 is fixedly connected to the metal structure of the first barrel lid 13, that is, the transport hole 131 is formed on the first barrel lid 13.

[0097] In this embodiment, by making at least a portion of the first bucket lid 13 a metal structure, the first bucket lid 13, positioned on the front side of the first outer bucket 12, can balance the weight of the front and rear sides of the first cylindrical assembly 10. This eliminates the need for additional counterweights in the first cylindrical assembly 10, simplifying its structure and reducing its space requirements. This allows for a more compact arrangement of the first cylindrical assembly 10 within the limited space of the housing 30, resulting in a more efficient garment processing device 100. Furthermore, the metal structure enhances the structural strength of the first bucket lid 13. The reliable connection between the transport rod 40 and the metal structure of the first bucket lid 13 improves the reliability of the connection. Since the transport rod 40 is typically made of metal, the threaded connection between the two metal parts facilitates smoother disassembly and assembly compared to assembling and disassembling a transport rod 40 with a plastic component.

[0098] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 4 The garment processing equipment 100 includes a buffer 50, which is sleeved on the transport rod 40 and located between the transport rod 40 and the first through hole 331.

[0099] The buffer 50 is sleeved on the transport rod 40 and located between the transport rod 40 and the first through hole 331. It can isolate the transport rod 40 from the first through hole 331, that is, it can be used to seal the gap between the transport rod 40 and the first through hole 331.

[0100] The buffer element 50 acts as a buffer for the transport rod 40, ensuring a soft contact between the transport rod 40 and the first perforation 331, thus mitigating the interaction force between them during transport. Simultaneously, since the first perforation 331 is a hole in the housing 30 (rear support 33), and the wall thickness of the housing 30 is limited, the direct contact area between the first perforation 331 and the transport rod 40 is small. Under vibration and impact, the first perforation 331 is prone to deformation, affecting the limiting effect of the transport rod 40. By fitting the buffer element 50 onto the transport rod 40 and having it contact the first perforation 331, the contact area is increased, improving the stability of the fit between the transport rod 40 and the first perforation 331. Furthermore, the buffer element 50 can also seal the first perforation 331, preventing external dust or liquids from entering the garment processing equipment 100.

[0101] For example, the buffer 50 is a cylindrical structure, and the size of the buffer 50 is not greater than the opening size of the first through hole 331. The buffer 50 extends into the first through hole 331, and the outer wall of the buffer 50 mates with the first through hole 331.

[0102] For example, please refer to Figures 3 to 4 The buffer 50 includes a first connecting section 51 and a second connecting section 52. The radial dimension of the second connecting section 52 is larger than that of the first connecting section 51. The buffer 50 is sleeved on the transport rod 40. During assembly, at least a portion of the first connecting section 51 extends into the installation space and is located between the transport rod 40 and the first through hole 331. The second connecting section 52 abuts against the outer wall of the rear support 33 to limit the buffer 50 and the transport rod 40.

[0103] By sleeved the buffer 50 on the transport rod 40 and located between the transport rod 40 and the first through hole 331, the radial vibration impact of the transport rod 40 during transportation is buffered. The second connecting section 52 can buffer the axial impact of the transport rod 40, which helps to improve the limiting effect of the transport rod 40 and reduce the possibility of deformation of the transport rod 40 during transportation.

[0104] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 4 The garment processing device 100 includes a pad 60 and a conveying rod 40 with a protruding abutment 41. The conveying rod 40 is threadedly connected to the first cylinder assembly 10 so that the abutment 41 is close to the rear support 33 and the opposite ends of the pad 60 are clamped between the abutment 41 and the buffer 50.

[0105] For example, on the projection plane perpendicular to the axis of the transport rod 40, the projected area of ​​the abutment portion 41 is smaller than the projected area of ​​the gasket 60.

[0106] During assembly, the transport rod 40 is rotated to thread it onto the first cylindrical assembly 10, bringing the abutment portion 41 closer to the rear support 33. The opposite ends of the gasket 60 are clamped between the abutment portion 41 and the buffer member 50, thereby limiting the axial movement of the transport rod 40. By placing the gasket 60 between the abutment portion 41 and the buffer member 50, the axial position of the transport rod 40 can be adjusted by changing the thickness of the gasket 60, thus adjusting the mating position between the transport rod 40 and the first cylindrical assembly 10. Furthermore, the gasket 60 increases the contact area between the abutment portion 41 and the buffer member 50, increasing the force-bearing area and reducing the deformation of the force-bearing surface, resulting in a better limiting effect.

[0107] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 6 to 7 On the projection plane perpendicular to the height direction of the garment processing equipment 100, the orthographic projection of the transport hole 131 and the orthographic projection of the vertical plane of the first cylindrical assembly 10 do not overlap. The vertical plane is a vertical plane passing through the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 10.

[0108] In other words, the transport hole 131 is located on one side of the vertical plane of the first cylindrical assembly 10, meaning that the transport hole 131 is not directly below the first cylindrical assembly 10.

[0109] Since the transport hole 131 is not directly below the first cylinder assembly 10, the space on the side of the first cylinder assembly 10 can be fully utilized, reducing the size of the garment processing device 100 in the height direction and improving the structural compactness of the garment processing device 100.

[0110] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 6 to 7 The garment processing device 100 includes a first connecting member 70 and a second connecting member 80. One end of the first connecting member 70 is connected to the first cylindrical assembly 10, and the other end is rotatably connected to the housing 30. One end of the second connecting member 80 is connected to the first cylindrical assembly 10, and the other end is connected to the housing 30. The first connecting member 70 and the second connecting member 80 are located on opposite sides of the vertical plane of the first cylindrical assembly 10, and the vertical plane is a vertical plane passing through the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 10. The elasticity of the second connecting member 80 is greater than that of the first connecting member 70.

[0111] The first cylindrical assembly 10 is connected to the first connecting member 70, and the first connecting member 70 is rotatably connected to the housing 30. That is, one end of the first connecting member 70 is connected to the first cylindrical assembly 10, and the other end is rotatably connected to the housing 30, so that the first cylindrical assembly 10 can rotate around the axis of the first connecting member 70. It should be noted that this rotatable connection does not mean that rotation will occur at all times; it can occur under certain conditions of vibration. For example, during the operation of the garment processing equipment 100, the first cylindrical assembly 10 may vibrate, in which case it can rotate around the rotation axis.

[0112] The axis of rotation of the first connecting member 70 can be referred to as the first axis.

[0113] The first cylindrical assembly 10 is capable of rotating relative to the housing 30 around a first axis. It can be understood that the first cylindrical assembly 10 revolves around the first axis. The first inner cylinder 11 of the first cylindrical assembly 10 can rotate on its own axis.

[0114] The first connecting member 70 is used to establish a force transmission relationship between the first cylindrical assembly 10 and the box 30, at least part of the weight of the first cylindrical assembly 10 is transferred to the first connecting member 70, and the first connecting member 70 transfers the weight to the box 30.

[0115] Understandably, the first axis can be a virtual straight line.

[0116] The second connecting member 80 connects the first cylindrical assembly 10 and the box 30. The elasticity of the second connecting member 80 is greater than that of the first connecting member 70.

[0117] It should be noted that the elasticity of the second connecting member 80 being greater than that of the first connecting member 70 includes the following two situations: first, the first connecting member 70 has almost no elasticity (which can be understood as a rigid member in a mechanical sense); second, the first connecting member 70 can exhibit some degree of elasticity, but the elasticity is less than that of the second connecting member 80.

[0118] The second connecting member 80 and the first connecting member 70 are located on the vertical plane M of the first cylindrical assembly 10 (see...). Figure 1 On opposite sides of the first cylindrical assembly 10, the vertical plane B is a vertical plane passing through the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 10. Thus, through the combined action of the second connecting member 80 and the first connecting member 70, the first cylindrical assembly 10 is better able to maintain force balance and stability, avoiding a cantilever support stress state (if the first connecting member 70 and the second connecting member 80 are both located on the same side of the vertical plane M, 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).

[0119] In the garment processing apparatus 100 of this application embodiment, when the first tubular assembly 10 vibrates, the effective length of the second connecting member 80 can change due to its elasticity. Therefore, the second connecting member 80 and the first connecting member 70 allow the entire first tubular assembly 10 to rotate around the rotation axis of the first connecting member 70 to release vibration energy. Furthermore, the first connecting member 70 enables the first tubular assembly 10 to maintain a basically fixed rotation axis (i.e., the position of the first axis does not move significantly). The first tubular assembly 10 has almost no displacement in the radial direction with the first axis as the center, but rotates around the rotation axis. In this way, the first tubular assembly 10 can maintain a small safe distance from other structures in the aforementioned radial direction, which is beneficial for a compact structure.

[0120] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The first cylindrical assembly 10 is suspended from the box body 30 via the first connecting member 70 and the second connecting member 80.

[0121] This can also be understood as the first connecting member 70 bearing the tensile force, and the second connecting member 80 bearing the tensile force. No other structure is needed below the first cylindrical assembly 10 to support it; thus, the structure is compact, freeing up more usable space in the area below the first cylindrical assembly 10.

[0122] In some embodiments, the second connecting member 80 may be the first elastic member.

[0123] The specific structure of the second connecting member 80 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.

[0124] In some embodiments, the first connecting member 70 is a connecting rod, which can be a rigid member. A rigid member is a member whose shape and size remain unchanged during the process of being subjected to force or movement. That is, no matter how large the external force, the distance and relative position between any two points inside the member do not change. The rigid first connecting member 70 helps to make the rotation trajectory of the first cylinder assembly 10 more accurate and controllable.

[0125] Understandably, since the first cylindrical assembly 10 is suspended from the housing 30 via the first connecting member 70 and the second connecting member 80, when the first cylindrical assembly 10 vibrates, the effective length of the second connecting member 80 can change due to its elasticity. Therefore, the second connecting member 80 and the first connecting member 70 allow the entire first cylindrical assembly 10 to rotate around the rotation axis of the first connecting member 70 to release vibration energy. During transportation, the first cylindrical assembly 10 may vibrate. Therefore, by fixing the transport rod 40 to the first cylindrical assembly 10, the first cylindrical assembly 10 is constrained at least at two points: the first connecting member 70 and the transport rod 40, thus reducing the vibration of the first cylindrical assembly 10 during transportation and improving reliability. Furthermore, by placing the transport rod 40 at the lower part of the first cylindrical assembly 10, the transport rod 40 can provide support for the first cylindrical assembly 10.

[0126] The lower part of the first cylindrical assembly 10 refers to the portion located below the reference surface of the first cylindrical assembly 10, and the upper part of the first cylindrical assembly 10 refers to the portion located above the reference surface of the first cylindrical assembly 10. The reference surface is a horizontal plane passing through the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 10. Figure 3 As shown, the reference plane is denoted by N.

[0127] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The transport hole 131 and the second connecting member 80 are located on opposite sides of the vertical plane of the first cylindrical assembly 10.

[0128] In other words, the transport hole 131 and the second connecting member 80 are not located on the same side of the vertical plane of the first cylindrical assembly 10.

[0129] Because the second connecting member 80 has a large elasticity (for example, the second connecting member 80 is a suspension spring), the effective length of the second connecting member 80 can vary greatly. By setting the transport hole 131 and the second connecting member 80 on opposite sides of the vertical plane of the first cylindrical assembly 10, the transport rod 40 can support the first cylindrical assembly 10, further reducing the vibration of the first cylindrical assembly 10 during transportation.

[0130] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The second connecting member 80 is located at the upper part of the first cylindrical assembly 10, and the transport hole 131 is located at the lower part of the first cylindrical assembly 10. This further facilitates the transport rod 40 in supporting the first cylindrical assembly 10.

[0131] For example, the second connecting member 80 and the transport hole 131 are arranged diagonally with respect to the first tube assembly 10. In other words, on the projection plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment handling device 100, there is at least one straight line passing through the axis of the first tube assembly 10 and also passing through the projection of the second connecting member 80 and the projection of the transport hole 131.

[0132] Preferably, on a projection plane perpendicular to the front-back direction of the garment processing device 100, the second connecting member 80 is located on the side of the vertical plane M of the first cylindrical assembly 10 that is close to the vertical plane P of the box 30, and the transport hole 131 is located on the side of the vertical plane M of the first cylindrical assembly 10 that is away from the vertical plane P of the box 30.

[0133] The vertical plane P of the box 30 is a vertical plane passing through the axis of the box 30.

[0134] For example, there are two first cylindrical body assemblies 10, which may be located at the upper left and upper right of the second cylindrical body assembly 20, respectively. Specifically, the second connecting member 80 of the first cylindrical body assembly 10 located at the upper left of the second cylindrical body assembly 20 is disposed away from the side support 32 on the left side of the housing 30, and the transport hole 131 is disposed near the side support 32 on the left side of the housing 30; the second connecting member 80 of the first cylindrical body assembly 10 located at the upper right of the second cylindrical body assembly 20 is disposed away from the side support 32 on the right side of the housing 30, and the transport hole 131 is disposed near the side support 32 on the right side of the housing 30.

[0135] In this way, by placing the protrusion 132 with the transport hole 131 in the gap between the second cylinder assembly 20 and the side support 32, the gap between the second cylinder assembly 20 and the side support 32 can be fully utilized, thereby further improving the structural compactness of the garment processing equipment 100.

[0136] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The volume of the first cylindrical assembly 10 is smaller than the volume of the second cylindrical assembly 20.

[0137] For example, the first tubular assembly 10 has a first garment processing cavity, and the second tubular assembly 20 has a second garment processing cavity, the volume of which is greater than the volume of which is the first garment processing cavity.

[0138] In other words, the second tube assembly 20 can hold more clothes, meaning the overall weight of the second tube assembly 20 can be greater than that of the first tube assembly 10.

[0139] Thus, the second cylindrical assembly 20 can handle larger or larger quantities of clothing, such as outerwear, while the first cylindrical assembly 10 can handle smaller or smaller quantities of clothing, such as socks, underwear, or baby clothes.

[0140] In this embodiment, the volume of the second cylindrical assembly 20 is greater than that of the first cylindrical assembly 10. The second cylindrical assembly 20 located at the bottom is heavier, which makes it easier to lower the overall center of gravity of the clothing processing device 100. Thus, while increasing the stability of the clothing processing device 100, the second cylindrical assembly 20 can also offset the vibration from above based on its own weight, thereby increasing the overall balance performance of the clothing processing device 100.

[0141] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The number of first cylindrical components 10 is at least two.

[0142] In this embodiment, two first cylinder assemblies 10 are used as an example, that is, the garment processing device 100 has at least three cylinder assemblies, and one garment processing device 100 can perform multiple different garment processing activities simultaneously or in sequence.

[0143] For example, the second tub assembly 20 can perform outerwear washing, and the two first tub assemblies 10 can respectively perform underwear washing and sock washing.

[0144] In addition, the two first cylindrical components 10 can be located at the upper left and upper right of the second cylindrical component 20, respectively. That is, the two first cylindrical components 10 are arranged side by side and spaced apart in the left and right direction. This reduces interference and also reduces the size of the garment processing device 100 in the height direction, which facilitates the overall balance of the garment processing device 100. The second cylindrical component 20 is located below the two first cylindrical components 10. The vertical stacking design reduces the lateral space of the garment processing device 100, thereby making the overall size of the garment processing device 100 more suitable.

[0145] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the orthographic projection of a plane perpendicular to the height direction of the garment processing equipment 100, the two first cylindrical components 10 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the central axis of the second cylindrical component 20.

[0146] In other words, when viewed from below along the height of the garment processing device 100, the two first tubular components 10 are mirror-symmetrical about the central axis of the second tubular component 20. That is, if the garment processing device 100 is folded along the central axis of the second tubular component 20, the two first tubular components 10 can completely overlap.

[0147] In this embodiment, on the one hand, the symmetrical arrangement helps to make the entire garment processing equipment 100 more stable during operation, and when one or both of the two first tubular components 10 work at the same time, the power of the two first tubular components 10 can be more balanced; on the other hand, the symmetrical arrangement can also make the layout more reasonable and increase the aesthetic appeal.
