[0060] It should be noted that these accompanying drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of the present invention to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0061] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0062] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0063] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0064] like Figures 1 to 15 As shown, embodiments of the present invention provide a clothing processing device and a combined clothing processing equipment equipped with the aforementioned clothing processing device.

[0065] Specifically, the clothing handling device described in this embodiment of the present invention includes a housing assembly 200, and an outer cylinder 410 and an inner cylinder 420 located inside the housing assembly 200 and coaxially arranged. A clothing inlet 211 is provided on the housing assembly 200 corresponding to the opening of the outer cylinder 410, and a movable door 230 is installed at the clothing inlet 211 to control the opening and closing of the clothing inlet 211.

[0066] To lock the door 230 when closed and prevent accidental opening by the user, the garment handling device is equipped with a door locking mechanism. This mechanism includes a locking element 232 mounted on the door 230 and a door lock 75 fixedly mounted on the garment handling device. When the door 230 is closed, the locking element 232 engages with the door lock 75, fixing the locking element 232 relative to the door lock 75, thereby locking the door 230 in the closed state.

[0067] However, when the garment handling device has a miniaturized design requirement in terms of overall axial dimensions, it is not possible to reserve enough space on the front side of the outer tube 410 to install the door lock 75.

[0068] It should be noted that, in the description of this utility model embodiment, the front-back direction is relative to the user's standing position when operating the clothing processing device. Specifically, the front side refers to the side where the user is operating the clothing processing device, and correspondingly, the rear side is the side of the clothing processing device that faces away from the user.

[0069] Example 1

[0070] like Figures 1 to 10 ,as well as Figure 15 As shown, this embodiment provides a garment processing device to solve the problem of how to set a door lock 75 in a garment processing device whose overall axial dimension is compressed.

[0071] Specifically, in this embodiment, the garment handling device includes a door 230 with a locking element 232, an outer tube 410 with its opening facing the door 230, and a door lock 75 for engaging with the locking element 232 to lock the door 230. The outer tube 410 has a coaxially arranged inner tube 420 inside. When washing clothes, the outer tube 410 holds water, and the inner tube 420 holds the clothes to be washed. The common axis L2 of the outer tube 410 and the inner tube 420 is substantially parallel to the horizontal plane, and the door lock 75 is located on the peripheral wall 411 of the outer tube 410.

[0072] The fact that axis L2 is basically parallel to the horizontal plane means that the angle between axis L2 and the horizontal plane is controlled between 0° and 10°.

[0073] In the above solution, the door lock 75 is located on the outer periphery of the outer tube 410 without occupying the space on the front side of the outer tube 410, thus avoiding the need to reserve installation space for the door lock 75 on the front side of the outer tube 410. In particular, when there is a need for miniaturization of the overall axial dimension of the garment handling device, the axial dimension of the outer tube 410 will not need to be compressed due to the door lock 75 occupying the space on the front side of the outer tube 410, resulting in a reduction in the volume of the outer tube 410.

[0074] In a further embodiment, a protruding mounting portion 4115 is provided on the cylindrical peripheral wall 411. The mounting portion 4115 is connected to the door lock 75, thereby fixing the door lock 75 to the cylindrical peripheral wall 411. Preferably, the mounting portion 4115 is located near the opening at the front end of the outer cylinder 410, which can shorten the distance between the door lock 75 and the door body 230, and make it easier to stably cooperate with the locking member 232 on the door body 230 to lock the door body 230 in the closed state.

[0075] Furthermore, at least two mounting parts 4115 are provided at intervals along the circumference of the outer cylinder 410, and each mounting part 4115 is connected and fixed to a different position of the door lock 75 to enhance the installation stability of the door lock 75.

[0076] In one specific embodiment, the mounting part 4115 is located on the right side of the outer cylinder 410, with two parts spaced vertically, and protrudes horizontally from the circumferential wall 411 of the outer cylinder 410. The door lock 75 has a certain height, and its upper and lower ends are respectively connected to one of the mounting parts 4115.

[0077] More specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting part 4115 and the cylindrical peripheral wall 411 of the outer cylinder 410 are integrally formed structures.

[0078] In one specific embodiment, each mounting part 4115 is provided with a sixth connecting hole 4116, and is connected to the door lock 75 through a fourth connector (not shown in the figure) passing through the sixth connecting hole 4116.

[0079] More specifically, the door lock 75 is provided with a fixing part 751 that corresponds one-to-one with the mounting part 4115, and the fixing part 751 has a seventh connecting hole 752 corresponding to the sixth connecting hole 4116. A fourth connector passes through one of the connecting holes of the sixth connecting hole 4116 and the seventh connecting hole 752 and connects to the other connecting hole, thereby fixing the door lock 75 to the cylindrical peripheral wall 411.

[0080] In a further embodiment, the outer cylinder 410 is disposed inside the outer casing assembly 200 of the garment handling device and is fixedly connected to the outer casing assembly 200. The outer casing assembly 200 has a garment loading port 211 on its front side, corresponding to the opening of the outer cylinder 410. The door 230 is movably disposed on the outside of the outer casing assembly 200 for opening and closing the garment loading port 211.

[0081] In the above scheme, the outer cylinder 410 is fixedly disposed relative to the outer shell assembly 200, and the door 230 is connected to the outer shell assembly 200. Therefore, when the door 230 is closed, the locking member 232 on the door 230 is also relatively fixed to the outer shell assembly 200. In this way, the locking member 232 and the door lock 75 installed on the peripheral wall 411 of the outer cylinder 410 are in a relatively fixed state, which can more stably cooperate to lock the door 230.

[0082] In this embodiment, the door body 230 and the door lock 75 are respectively disposed on the inner and outer sides of the outer casing assembly 200. The locking member 232 extends horizontally backward from the rear side of the door body 230, passes through the outer casing assembly 200 and cooperates with the door lock 75 to lock the door body 230 in the closed state.

[0083] In one specific embodiment, the locking element 232 is a hook-shaped lock hook, and the door lock 75 is provided with a movable lock tongue. When the door lock 75 is in the working state, see... Figure 1 The latch is blocked by the bolt of the door lock 75, preventing the latch from being pulled out from inside the housing assembly 200, thus achieving the purpose of locking the door 230. When the door lock 75 is not in operation, see... Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the lock hook separates from the latch on the door lock 75, the lock hook can be pulled out as the door 230 moves, allowing the door 230 to be opened.

[0084] In a further embodiment, the outer casing assembly 200 includes a front plate 210 with a clothing loading port 211 disposed on the front side of the outer tube 410, and a rear shell 220 disposed on the rear side and outer periphery of the outer tube 410. The front plate 210 and the rear shell 220 are fastened together to form a complete outer casing assembly 200. The outer tube 410 has an integrally formed bottom wall 412 and a peripheral wall 411, wherein the bottom wall 412 is connected to the rear end of the peripheral wall 411. The front end of the peripheral wall 411 forms the opening of the outer tube 410 and is connected to the front plate 210.

[0085] In the above scheme, the front panel 210 is provided with a through hole 2141 for the locking member 232 to pass through, and the through hole 2141 is located in the outer periphery area of ​​the clothing loading port 211.

[0086] Compared to existing structures, the outer cylinder 410 of this embodiment is equivalent to having only the outer cylinder as in the prior art, while eliminating the structure of the front or front end cover of the outer cylinder. The circumferential wall 411 of the outer cylinder 410 is directly fixed to the front plate 210, and the front plate 210 replaces the structure of the front or front end cover of the outer cylinder. In this way, the overall size of the clothing handling device in the axial direction is further reduced, saving space.

[0087] In one specific implementation, the left side of the door 230 is hinged to a door hinge 231 fixed to the front side of the front panel 210, thereby allowing it to rotate back and forth around the door hinge 231 to open and close the clothing loading port 211. A locking member 232 is provided on the right side of the door 230, and correspondingly, a through hole 2141 is located in the right-side region of the clothing loading port 211.

[0088] In this specific embodiment, a connecting portion 4111 protruding outward is provided on the outer side of the cylindrical circumferential wall 411 near the front opening of the cylinder. The connecting portion 4111 is used to connect and fix the outer cylinder 410 to the front plate 210. More specifically, multiple connecting portions 4111 are provided at intervals along the circumference of the outer cylinder 410, preferably evenly distributed along the circumference of the outer cylinder 410, so that the fixation between the outer cylinder 410 and the front plate 210 is more firm and reliable.

[0089] In a preferred configuration, the through hole 2141 on the front plate 210 and the connecting portion 4111 on the cylindrical peripheral wall 411 are staggered in the circumferential direction. This avoids interference between the connecting portion 4111 and the locking member 232 passing through the through hole 2141.

[0090] In order to connect the connecting part 4111 to the front plate 210, each connecting part 4111 is provided with a third connecting hole 4112, and the front plate 210 is provided with a second connecting hole 2131 corresponding to the third connecting hole 4112. The second connecting piece (not shown in the figure) passes through the third connecting hole 4112 and connects to the second connecting hole 2131 to fix the front end of the outer cylinder 410 to the front plate 210.

[0091] In one detailed structure, the second connector is a fastening screw, the third connecting hole 4112 is a through hole, and the second connecting hole 2131 is a threaded blind hole. The second connector passes through the third connecting hole 4112 from the rear, and its end is screwed into the second connecting hole 2131. The head presses against the area on the rear side of the connecting part 4111 located on the outer periphery of the third connecting hole 4112, thus fastening the front end of the outer cylinder 410 to the front plate 210.

[0092] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the outer side of the front panel 210 is partially recessed into the housing assembly 200 to form an embedding groove 214, and the door 230 is at least partially embedded in the embedding groove 214 when closed. The embedding groove 214 is located in the outer peripheral area of ​​the clothing loading port 211, and the through hole 2141 is located within the coverage area of ​​the embedding groove 214.

[0093] By adopting the above solution, the bulge formed on the front side of the outer casing assembly 200 when the door 230 is closed can be reduced, thus avoiding excessive space being occupied on the front side of the outer casing assembly 200.

[0094] In a further embodiment, the front panel 210 is also provided with a door sealing assembly 300 arranged circumferentially along the clothing loading port 211. The door sealing assembly 300 is clamped between the inner wall of the front panel 210 and the opening end of the outer cylinder 410 to achieve a seal between the outer cylinder 410 and the front panel 210.

[0095] Furthermore, when the door 230 is closed, it comes into sealing contact with the door sealing assembly 300, thereby sealing the clothing loading port 211 and achieving a seal between the door 230 and the outer casing assembly 200 and the outer cylinder 410.

[0096] In the above solution, the mounting area of ​​the door sealing assembly 300 on the front panel 210 is located within the coverage area of ​​the recess 214, and the through hole 2141 is located on the outer periphery of the area on the front panel 210 used for mounting the door sealing assembly 300. Thus, the door sealing assembly 300 does not obstruct the through hole 2141, and consequently, it does not prevent the locking member 232 on the door body 230 from passing through the through hole 2141 and engaging with the door lock 75 to lock the door body 230.

[0097] In one specific embodiment, the door sealing assembly 300 includes a sealing member 310 having an annular body 311, and a recessed second mounting groove 313 is provided on the rear end face of the annular body 311. The second mounting groove 313 is an annular groove, and the cylinder opening end of the outer cylinder 410 is inserted into the second mounting groove 313 for sealing cooperation with the sealing member 310.

[0098] More specifically, the second mounting groove 313 is recessed along the axial direction of the annular body 311. During assembly, the opening end of the outer cylinder 410 is inserted into the second mounting groove 313 from the rear, clamping a portion of the annular body 311 of the sealing element 310 between the opening end of the outer cylinder 410 and the inner wall of the front plate 210.

[0099] In this embodiment, the central region of the door 230 protrudes rearward and extends into the clothing loading port 211 when the door 230 is closed. When the door 230 is closed, the central region of the door 230 presses backward against the inner circumferential region of the sealing member 310, so that the sealing member 310 and the door 230 are sealed together, thereby achieving a seal between the outer cylinder 410, the outer shell assembly 200 and the door 230.

[0100] In one specific embodiment, the inner peripheral wall of the annular body 311 is provided with a sealing lip 314 extending inward, which contacts and seals with the door body 230. When the door body 230 is closed, the sealing lip 314 is squeezed and flipped backward, so that the sealing lip 314 and the door body 230 fit together and seal.

[0101] The outer periphery of the seal 310 is pressed against the inner wall of the front plate 210 by the cylinder opening end of the outer cylinder 410, which can more firmly fix the annular body 311 of the seal 310 to the front plate 210 of the housing assembly 200. This prevents the annular body 311 from flipping backward and separating from the inner wall of the front plate 210 when the inner periphery of the seal 310 is compressed, thus ensuring the sealing effect between the door sealing assembly 300 and the housing assembly 200.

[0102] In the above scheme, the connecting part 4111 is offset rearward by a certain distance relative to the front end face of the cylindrical peripheral wall 411, thereby reserving a portion for insertion into the second mounting groove 313. A raised ring 213 is provided on the rear side of the front plate 210, surrounding the periphery of the clothing inlet 211 and protruding rearward. The inner circumference of the raised ring 213 is spaced from the clothing inlet 211, thus forming a groove structure on the inner side of the raised ring 213. The sealing member 310 is installed in the groove structure, and the second connecting hole 2131 is provided on the raised ring 213. Thus, during assembly, the connecting part 4111 can be fitted and fixed to the raised ring 213, fully compressing the sealing member 310.

[0103] In a further embodiment, the rear end face of the annular body 311 is provided with a recessed first mounting groove 312, which extends circumferentially. The door sealing assembly 300 also includes an annular clamping member 320, which is embedded in the first mounting groove 312. To avoid mutual interference, the radial dimensions of the first mounting groove 312 and the second mounting groove 313 are different.

[0104] During assembly, the annular area of ​​the seal 310 corresponding to the first mounting groove 312 is clamped between the annular clamping member 320 and the inner wall of the front plate 210, further ensuring that the annular body 311 of the seal 310 fits tightly against the front plate 210. In this way, the outer cylinder 410 and the annular clamping member 320 work together to squeeze the seal 310 from the rear, pressing it firmly onto the front plate 210, resulting in a better sealing effect.

[0105] As a preferred embodiment, the second mounting groove 313 is radially spaced around the periphery of the first mounting groove 312. When assembled in place, the opening end of the outer cylinder 410 surrounds the periphery of the annular clamping member 320.

[0106] In this embodiment, the outer cylinder 410 is connected to the front plate 210 of the outer casing assembly 200, thereby pressing the sealing member 310 with the cylinder opening end of the outer cylinder 410. The second mounting groove 313 is set around the first mounting groove 312, which can avoid the setting of the annular clamping member 320 from interfering with the connection between the outer cylinder 410 and the front plate 210, and facilitate the assembly operation of the outer cylinder 410 and the front plate 210.

[0107] In the above-described scheme of this embodiment, the annular clamping member 320 is embedded in the first mounting groove 312 on the sealing member 310, which also helps to make the overall axial dimension of the door sealing assembly 300 as small as possible, thereby avoiding the occupation of too much axial space between the cylinder opening of the outer cylinder 410 and the outer shell assembly 200, and facilitating further compression of the overall axial dimension of the clothing processing device.

[0108] In a more specific configuration, the annular clamping member 320 in this embodiment is an annular pressure plate, so as to further reduce the axial dimensions of the door sealing assembly 300.

[0109] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the annular clamping member 320 and the sealing member 310 are connected by the first connecting member 2101. Specifically, the annular body 311 of the sealing member 310 is provided with a plurality of fourth connecting holes 316, and the annular clamping member 320 is provided with fifth connecting holes 323 corresponding to the fourth connecting holes 316 one by one. The first connecting member 2101 passes through the fourth connecting holes 316 and is connected to the fifth connecting holes 323.

[0110] In a more specific embodiment, the outer casing assembly 200 and the annular clamping member 320 are connected by a first connector 2101 passing through the seal 310. The front panel 210 has a first connecting hole 212 on the outer periphery of the clothing inlet 211, which corresponds one-to-one with the fourth connecting hole 316. The first connector 2101 passes through the first connecting hole 212 and the fourth connecting hole 316 sequentially from the front side and is connected to the fifth connecting hole 323.

[0111] In one specific embodiment, the annular clamping member 320 has a clamping plate body 321 with an annular plate-like structure, which is embedded in the first mounting groove 312. Fourth connecting holes 316 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the annular body 311 and are disposed within the first mounting groove 312. Correspondingly, fifth connecting holes 323 are disposed on the clamping plate body 321 of the annular clamping member 320 and are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the fourth connecting holes 316, evenly distributed along the circumference of the annular clamping member 320. Similarly, first connecting holes 212 are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the fourth connecting holes 316 and are evenly distributed along the outer periphery of the clothing inlet 211.

[0112] In the above scheme, the first connecting hole 212 is specifically set in the embedding groove 214 of the front plate 210, and is located in the groove structure formed by the convex ring 213 on the rear side of the front plate 210.

[0113] In one detailed embodiment, the fifth connecting hole 323 is a blind hole, connected to the end of the first connecting member 2101. As a specific structure, the first connecting member 2101 is a fastening screw, the first connecting hole 212 is a countersunk hole, the fourth connecting hole 316 is a through hole, and the fifth connecting hole 323 is a threaded blind hole. The fastening screw, acting as the first connecting member 2101, passes sequentially through the first connecting hole 212 and the fourth connecting hole 316, with its end screwed into the fifth connecting hole 323. The head of the fastening screw is pressed against the first connecting hole 212, causing the annular clamping member 320 and the front plate 210 to clamp and fix the sealing member 310. The first connecting hole 212 is a countersunk hole, preventing the head of the fastening screw from forming a protrusion on the front side of the front plate 210, thus avoiding interference with the sealing of the clothing storage opening 211 of the door 230.

[0114] In the above scheme, the sealing element 310 is installed in the groove structure formed inside the convex ring 213. The first connecting member 2101 passes through the fourth connecting hole 316 on the sealing element 310 and connects to the fifth connecting hole 323 on the annular pressing member 320, pressing the annular area on the sealing element 310 corresponding to the first mounting groove 312 onto the front plate 210. The front end of the outer cylinder 410 is inserted into the second mounting groove 313 and connects to the second connecting hole 2131 on the front plate 210 through the third connecting hole 4112 via the second connecting member. This allows the front side of the connecting part 4111 to abut against the rear side of the convex ring 213, thus pressing the annular area on the sealing element 310 corresponding to the second mounting groove 313 onto the front plate 210.

[0115] In a further embodiment, the inner circumferential side of the first mounting groove 312 extends towards the inner circumferential wall of the annular body 311 in the region near the bottom surface 3122 of the groove, i.e., the region near the front side in the figure, to form an insertion groove 3121. The annular clamping member 320 is partially inserted into the insertion groove 3121.

[0116] Specifically, the insertion groove 3121 is arranged around the circumference of the annular body 311. When the annular clamping member 320 is inserted into the first mounting groove 312, its inner circumferential area is inserted into the insertion groove 3121.

[0117] Furthermore, the annular clamping member 320 has an integrally formed pressure plate body 321 and a plug-in portion 322. The pressure plate body 321 has an annular plate-like structure, and the plug-in portion 322 protrudes from the inner circumference of the pressure plate body 321. Along the axial direction of the annular clamping member 320, the thickness of the plug-in portion 322 is less than the thickness of the pressure plate body 321. When the annular clamping member 320 is inserted into the first mounting groove 312, the pressure plate body 321 is located in the first mounting groove 312, and the plug-in portion 322 is inserted into the plug-in groove 3121.

[0118] In one specific embodiment, the insertion groove 3121 is formed by extending radially along the annular body 311 from the inner circumferential side of the first mounting groove 312, and the front side of the insertion groove 3121 is flush with the bottom surface 3122 of the first mounting groove 312. Correspondingly, on the side near the bottom surface 3122 of the first mounting groove 312, that is, the front side in the figure, the surface of the insertion part 322 is flush with the surface of the pressure plate body 321.

[0119] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the annular clamping member 320, which is also the inner circumferential diameter of the insertion portion 322, is smaller than the inner diameter of the clothing inlet 211. That is to say, when the door sealing assembly 300 is installed on the front panel 210, the projection area of ​​the clothing inlet 211 along the axis toward the annular clamping member 320 at least partially overlaps with the insertion portion 322.

[0120] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 7 As shown, the sealing lip 314 on the seal 310 protrudes towards the center relative to the edge of the clothing inlet 211, so as to contact and seal with the part of the door 230 that extends into the clothing inlet 211. The insertion portion 322 of the annular clamping member 320 extends into the coverage area of ​​the projected area of ​​the clothing inlet 211, ensuring that the annular clamping member 320 effectively supports the seal 310. When the door 230 is closed, only the sealing lip 314 is squeezed and deformed backward, while the area on the seal 310 supported by the annular clamping member 320 remains largely undeformed, ensuring a tight seal between the seal 310 and the front panel 210.

[0121] On the other hand, the insertion groove 3121 on the seal 310 and the insertion portion 322 of the annular clamping member 320 also form an axial limiting fit. In particular, when the door 230 is opened, it can prevent the sealing lip 314 from elastically resetting and causing the first mounting groove 312 on the seal 310 to disengage from the annular clamping member 320.

[0122] In a further embodiment, the annular body 311 of the seal 310 has an annular protrusion 315 that protrudes forward axially in the inner circumferential region of its front end face. When the door sealing assembly 300 is mounted on the front plate 210 of the housing assembly 200, the clothing inlet 211 surrounds the periphery of the annular protrusion 315. Alternatively, the annular protrusion 315 extends into the clothing inlet 211. Preferably, see... Figure 7 The front end of the annular protrusion 315 is basically flush with the front surface of the front plate 210.

[0123] With the above structure, the sealing lip 314 is formed by extending inward from the protruding end of the annular protrusion 315, that is, the front end of the annular protrusion 315. In this way, with most of the structure of the sealing element 310 located on the rear side of the front plate 210, the sealing lip 314 is positioned as far forward as possible, basically within the plane where the clothing inlet 211 is located, which facilitates a better sealing fit with the closed door 230.

[0124] On the other hand, the setting of the annular protrusion 315 increases the radial thickness of the inner circumferential area of ​​the annular body 311, so that when the door 230 closes and squeezes the sealing lip 314, the area where the annular body 311 and the sealing lip 314 are connected is not easily deformed with the sealing lip 314, further ensuring that the seal 310 and the front plate 210 can maintain a tight fit and ensure the sealing effect.

[0125] In the preferred embodiment, the outer peripheral side of the sealing lip 314 is flush with the front end of the annular protrusion 315 in the axial direction and extends obliquely to the rear, which can better match the door body 230 and achieve a more reliable sealing effect.

[0126] In this embodiment, the insertion portion 322 of the annular clamping member 320 extends to the coverage area of ​​the projection area of ​​the clothing inlet 211, while the annular protrusion 315 is located on the inner circumferential side of the clothing inlet 211. Correspondingly, the annular projection area formed by the axial projection of the annular protrusion 315 at least partially overlaps with the annular clamping member 320.

[0127] Specifically, in combination Figure 7 As can be seen, the insertion part 322 is supported on the rear side of the annular protrusion 315, which further enhances the structural stability of the inner circumferential area of ​​the annular body 311 of the seal 310, and will not easily cause overturning or deformation.

[0128] Thus, in this embodiment, only the sealing lip 314 on the sealing member 310 of the door sealing assembly 300 undergoes flipping deformation as the door 230 opens and closes, while the annular body 311 of the sealing member 310 can stably fit against the rear side of the front plate 210, maintaining a seal with the front plate 210. In other words, the door sealing assembly 300 can always effectively seal the gap between the outer cylinder 410 and the front plate 210, preventing the space between the outer casing assembly 200 and the outer cylinder 410 from communicating with the outside through the clothing loading port 211. When the door 230 is closed, the sealing lip 314, in sealing cooperation with the door 230, can further seal the opening of the outer cylinder 410, ensuring a sealing effect during the operation of the clothing handling device.

[0129] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the outer cylinder 410 is also connected to the rear shell 220 of the outer shell assembly 200. Thus, no additional connecting structure is needed between the front plate 210 and the rear shell 220; they can be directly fastened together. For example, the outer peripheral wall of the front end region of the rear shell 220 can be slightly contracted, allowing the front plate 210 to fit over the front end of the rear shell 220.

[0130] Specifically, the bottom wall 412 of the cylinder is provided with a plurality of rearwardly protruding mounting posts 4121, and the rear back plate of the rear shell 220, which is opposite to the bottom wall 412, is provided with mounting holes 224 corresponding to the mounting posts 4121. A third connector (not shown in the figure) passes through the mounting holes 224 and is fixedly connected to the mounting posts 4121 to fix the rear shell 220 and the outer cylinder 410 relative to each other.

[0131] In one specific implementation, the mounting post 4121 is a screw post, and the third connector is a screw that passes through the mounting hole 224 and is screwed into the mounting post 4121 to achieve connection and fixation.

[0132] In this embodiment, the front and rear ends of the outer cylinder 410 are connected to the outer shell assembly 200, which can also more stably support the outer cylinder 410 inside the outer shell assembly 200.

[0133] In a further embodiment, the clothing processing device is equipped with a drying component 600, enabling the device to simultaneously perform both washing and drying functions. The drying component 600 draws in external air, heats it, and then sends it into the outer drum 410. The heated air further enters the inner drum 420, contacting the damp clothing inside and causing the moisture in the clothing to evaporate. The humid air carrying water vapor is then discharged outside the clothing processing device, achieving the effect of drying the clothes.

[0134] Specifically, in this embodiment, the outer cylinder 410 is provided with an inner air outlet 413 for exhaust, and the outer shell assembly 200 is provided with an outer air outlet 223. The inner air outlet 413 is inserted into the outer air outlet 223, thereby directly communicating with the external space of the outer shell assembly 200, and directly exhausting the humid air inside the cylinder to the outside of the outer shell assembly 200.

[0135] By adopting the above solution, the exhaust duct structure in the prior art is eliminated, allowing the humid air in the outer cylinder 410 to be directly discharged to the external space. Thus, compared to the existing structure, there is no need to reserve space between the outer casing assembly 200 and the outer cylinder 410 for installing the exhaust duct, which helps to further reduce the overall size of the garment processing device.

[0136] In a further embodiment, the internal air outlet 413 is located on the bottom wall 412 of the outer cylinder 410 at its axial rear end, and the external air outlet 223 is located on the side of the outer casing assembly 200 near the bottom wall 412, i.e., the rear side of the outer casing assembly 200. Specifically, the external air outlet 223 is located on the rear back plate of the rear shell 220.

[0137] Since the air discharged through the inner air outlet 413 is air with a relatively high temperature and high humidity, by setting the inner air outlet 413 on the bottom wall 412 of the outer cylinder 410 and connecting it to the outer air outlet 223 on the back panel of the rear shell 220 to the outside, the discharged airflow can be prevented from blowing directly on the user, thus ensuring the user's experience.

[0138] In a further embodiment, the inner air outlet 413 protrudes from the outer wall of the outer cylinder 410, and the protruding portion is inserted into the outer air outlet 223. Specifically, the inner air outlet 413 protrudes rearward from the bottom wall 412 of the cylinder and is inserted into the outer air outlet 223.

[0139] With the above structure, the bottom wall 412 of the outer cylinder 410 can be positioned as close as possible to the back panel of the rear shell 220, reducing the distance between the bottom wall 412 and the inner wall of the back panel. This improves the overall size of the garment compression device along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 410, enabling a miniaturized design of the overall axial dimensions. Furthermore, the internal air outlet 413 is located on the planar bottom wall 412, rather than the curved peripheral wall 411, making it easier to form a structure that allows the external air outlet 223 to be inserted into the outer shell assembly 200.

[0140] As a preferred structure, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 6 The protruding end of the inner air outlet 413 (i.e., the rear end in the figure) is flush with the outer wall of the housing assembly 200. That is, the rear end face of the inner air outlet 413 is flush with the rear surface of the rear housing 220 on the outer periphery of the outer air outlet 223.

[0141] In this way, it can be ensured that the inner air outlet 413 is directly connected to the external space, preventing the hot and humid air discharged from the inner air outlet 413 from overflowing into the outer casing component 200. At the same time, it can also prevent the inner air outlet 413 from forming a protruding structure on the outside of the outer casing component 200, which helps to protect the inner air outlet 413 from being damaged by bumps.

[0142] Furthermore, an air outlet grille 4132 is provided at the inner air outlet 413, dividing the large inner air outlet 413 into multiple independent, smaller opening areas. This ensures a large air outlet area, thereby guaranteeing drying efficiency, while also preventing large openings on the outer drum 410 that directly connect to the outside, which could cause debris to easily fall between the outer drum 410 and the inner drum 420, potentially causing malfunctions in the garment handling device.

[0143] In addition, in this embodiment, the inner air outlet 413 is set on the bottom wall 412 of the outer cylinder 410, so that the inner air outlet 413 opens to the side and does not open to the top, making it less likely for dust and debris to fall into the inner cylinder 410 through the inner air outlet 413.

[0144] As a specific structure, the outer wall of the bottom wall 412 protrudes around the inner air outlet 413 and extends to the rearward air outlet 223, forming the air outlet peripheral wall 4131. The air outlet grille 4132 is a strip grille that is connected to the inner side of the air outlet peripheral wall 4131 and is located at the protruding end of the air outlet peripheral wall 4131.

[0145] In the above scheme, the air outlet grille 4132 is located at the rear end of the air outlet peripheral wall 4131 to directly intercept the entry of debris.

[0146] In a further embodiment, the inner air outlet 413 is located in the outer peripheral area of ​​the bottom wall 412 of the cylinder, and the outer air outlet 223 is located on the rear side of the rear shell 220 at a position corresponding to the inner air outlet 413.

[0147] In this embodiment, a motor 500 for driving the inner cylinder 420 to rotate is provided on the rear side of the bottom wall 412 of the outer cylinder 410. The motor 500 is located in the central area of ​​the bottom wall 412. By placing the inner air outlet 413 close to the outer periphery of the bottom wall 412, interference with the motor 500 can be avoided.

[0148] In one specific structure, the inner air outlet 413 is located in the upper region of the bottom wall 412 of the cylinder, and correspondingly, the outer air outlet 223 is located in the upper part of the back plate of the rear shell 220.

[0149] In one specific embodiment, a receiving cavity 221 is integrally formed on the rear back plate of the rear shell 220. The bottom wall of the receiving cavity 221 protrudes rearward to accommodate the motor 500. The receiving cavity 221 is integrally formed with the rear plate of the rear shell 220, which reduces stress concentration. Preferably, a wear-resistant coating is applied to the inner wall of the cavity to improve durability. Furthermore, the above-described arrangement further improves the axial structural compactness of the garment handling device, which is more conducive to miniaturized axial dimensions.

[0150] In a more specific implementation, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 15 As shown, the motor 500 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall 412 of the outer cylinder 410. The motor 500 includes a motor body 510 that provides power, and a transmission mechanism 520 that transmits power from the motor body 510 to the drive shaft of the inner cylinder 420. The motor body 510 is offset from the drive shaft of the inner cylinder 420; that is, the motor shaft 511 is not coaxial with the drive shaft of the inner cylinder 420, and the motor shaft 511 extends rearward. The transmission mechanism 520 is located between the motor shaft 511 and the drive shaft of the inner cylinder 420, and is used to transmit the power output from the motor body 510 to the drive shaft of the inner cylinder 420.

[0151] In a preferred embodiment, the motor 500 further includes a protective housing 530, and the transmission mechanism 520 is installed inside the protective housing 530. The motor shaft 511 and the drive shaft are located on the same side of the protective housing 530. The transmission mechanism 520 is preferably a gear set (not shown in the figure), which includes an input gear and an output gear mounted on the motor shaft 511. A transmission gear may be provided between the input gear and the output gear, or the transmission gear may be omitted. There may be at least one transmission gear. The input gear, transmission gear, and output gear mesh sequentially for transmission. The output gear is mounted on the output shaft 521 (see reference). Figure 15 The extended end of the output shaft 521 extends out of the protective shell 530 and is connected to the drive shaft of the inner cylinder 420.

[0152] Further preferably, the shape of the internal space of the receiving cavity 221 matches the shape of the protective shell 530, which facilitates installation. Preferably, the motor body 510 is connected to the protective shell 530, the protective shell 530 is connected to the bottom wall 412 of the cylinder, or the motor body 510 is connected to the bottom wall 412 of the cylinder; or the protective shell 530 is connected to the receiving cavity 221.

[0153] More specifically, see Figure 4 and Figure 6 The rear back plate on the rear side of the rear shell 220 has a rear back plate protrusion 225 that matches the outer contour of the bottom wall 412 of the cylinder, and the receiving cavity 221 protrudes further rearward relative to the rear back plate protrusion 225.

[0154] In one specific structure of this embodiment, the inner air outlet 413 has a certain length in the circumferential direction of the outer cylinder 410. The inner air outlet 413 can extend in an arc shape along the circumference, or it can extend in a straight line to cover a certain angle in the circumferential direction.

[0155] By adopting the above structure, the outer periphery of the bottom wall 412 of the cylinder can be fully utilized, so that the inner air outlet 413 has the largest possible opening area.

[0156] In the preferred structure, the inner air outlet 413 extends along an arc-shaped trajectory with the bottom wall 412 as the center of the arc, while the other side of the inner air outlet 413, that is, the side close to the axis of the outer cylinder 410, extends along a straight line.

[0157] Specifically, the inner air outlet 413 is located near the top of the bottom wall 412 of the cylinder and has a symmetrical structure. The upper side of the inner air outlet 413 has an arc-shaped edge, and the lower side has a straight edge parallel to the horizontal plane. The air outlet grilles 4132 are arranged vertically and distributed at intervals in the horizontal direction. The upper and lower ends of the air outlet grilles 4132 are respectively connected to the inner side of the peripheral wall 4131 of the air outlet.

[0158] The internal air outlet 413 has the above-mentioned structure, which makes fuller use of the space on the bottom wall 412 of the cylinder and achieves the largest possible exhaust area.

[0159] Furthermore, the exhaust vent 223 on the rear shell 220 has a shape that matches the structure of the inner exhaust vent 413. When the exhaust vent peripheral wall 4131 of the inner exhaust vent 413 is inserted into the exhaust vent 223, there is essentially no gap between the two, which can prevent dust or debris from falling into the interior of the outer shell assembly 200 from the gap between the exhaust vent 223 and the exhaust vent peripheral wall 4131.

[0160] In a further embodiment, the outer shell assembly 200 has an air inlet 222 connecting the inner and outer sides to draw in external air for drying clothes. The drying assembly 600 is disposed between the outer shell assembly 200 and the outer cylinder 410, and has an air intake (not shown in the figure) located inside the outer shell assembly 200, and an air outlet 601 connected to the outer cylinder air inlet 4113 on the outer cylinder 410.

[0161] Specifically, the air intake of the drying component 600 is directly exposed in the internal space of the housing component 200, and there is no additional connecting structure between the air intake and the housing air inlet 222. In other words, the housing air inlet 222 is open relative to the interior of the housing component 200.

[0162] In one specific embodiment, the drying assembly 600 includes a fan 620 and a heating module 610, with a heater 611 inside the heating module 610. The air inlet of the fan 620 serves as the air intake of the drying assembly 600, and the air outlet of the fan 620 is connected to the heating module 610. The heating module 610 is provided with an air outlet 601 for the drying assembly 600.

[0163] In this embodiment, when the drying component 600 is working, it directly draws air from the inside of the outer shell component 200, causing the air pressure inside the outer shell component 200 to decrease. As a result, the air outside the clothing processing device is drawn into the inside of the outer shell component 200 through the outer shell air inlet 222.

[0164] More specifically, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the diagram, the red arrows indicate the direction of airflow. In this embodiment, when the clothing processing device dries clothes, external air enters the interior of the outer casing assembly 200 through the outer casing air inlet 222, is drawn in by the fan 620 and transported to the heating module 610. After being heated by the heater 611 to form high-temperature air, it enters the outer cylinder 410 through the air outlet 601 and the outer cylinder air inlet 4113. Since the outer cylinder 410 and the inner cylinder 420 are connected, the high-temperature air can enter the inner cylinder 420, fully contacting the wet clothes, and carrying the water vapor from the clothes, it is discharged through the inner air outlet 413 at the rear end of the outer cylinder 410 and through the outer air outlet 223 on the rear casing 220.

[0165] This embodiment adopts the above solution, eliminating the structure of the air inlet duct in the prior art, thus eliminating the need to reserve space between the outer shell assembly 200 and the outer cylinder 410 for installing the air inlet duct, and further reducing the overall size of the clothing processing device.

[0166] In a further embodiment, the air inlet 222 and the air outlet 223 of the outer casing are located on the same side of the outer casing assembly 200, that is, both are located on the rear side near the bottom wall 412 of the outer cylinder 410, which is the back plate of the rear casing 220.

[0167] As a preferred configuration, the projected area of ​​the bottom wall 412 along the axis toward the rear side of the outer casing assembly 200 is at least partially offset from the outer casing air inlet 222. More preferably, the outer casing air inlet 222 does not coincide with the aforementioned projected area at all.

[0168] Since the gap between the bottom wall 412 of the cylinder and the back plate of the rear shell 220 is very small, the projection area of ​​the air inlet 222 of the outer shell is staggered with that of the bottom wall 412 of the cylinder. This can avoid the bottom wall 412 blocking the air inlet 222 of the outer shell and causing excessive air intake resistance, so that the external air can enter the outer shell assembly 200 more smoothly.

[0169] In one specific structure, the outer shell air inlet 222 is located in the outer periphery of the rear panel protrusion 225, thus offset from the bottom wall 412 of the cylinder. Furthermore, since the outer shell air outlet 223 is located on the rear panel protrusion 225, that is, offset rearward relative to the outer shell air inlet 222, it can also, to a certain extent, prevent humid air discharged from the inner air outlet 413 in the outer shell air outlet 223 from being re-inhaled into the outer shell assembly 200 through the outer shell air inlet 222, thereby ensuring drying efficiency.

[0170] More specifically, the air inlet 222 of the outer casing is composed of a plurality of air inlets distributed within a certain area. Preferably, the air inlets are arranged in a row and column layout, distributed within a rectangular area, forming the air inlet 222 of the outer casing. The structure of multiple air inlets can play a certain filtering role when introducing external air, preventing larger debris from being sucked into the interior of the outer casing assembly 200.

[0171] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the air inlet 4113 of the outer cylinder is disposed on the circumferential wall 411 of the outer cylinder 410, and the disposed position is close to the front end where the cylinder opening is located.

[0172] Thus, the axial distance between the outer drum air inlet 4113 and the inner drum air outlet 413 is maximized, which extends the airflow path within the drum assembly, ensuring sufficient contact with the clothes inside and improving drying efficiency. Simultaneously, the air inlet of the outer drum 410 is positioned as close as possible to the opening of the inner drum 420, facilitating direct airflow into the inner drum 420 and reducing the amount of air discharged directly from the inner drum air outlet 413 without entering the inner drum 420, thereby further improving drying efficiency.

[0173] Specifically, the inner drum 420 has dehydration holes on its peripheral wall and several ventilation holes on its rear bottom. After the air entering the inner drum 420 comes into full contact with the clothes, some of it overflows through the dehydration holes into the space between the inner drum 420 and the outer drum 410, and is finally discharged through the inner air outlet 413 on the bottom wall 412 of the outer drum 410. The other part of the air carrying water vapor can flow backward, enter the space between the inner drum 420 and the outer drum 410 through the ventilation holes, and be discharged through the inner air outlet 413.

[0174] In one specific embodiment, the outer cylinder air inlet 4113 is located in the upper region of the cylinder peripheral wall 411, and the drying assembly 600 is disposed above the outer cylinder 410, with its air outlet 601 facing downwards and connected to the outer cylinder air inlet 4113. Correspondingly, the outer shell air inlet 222 is disposed on the upper part of the rear back plate of the rear shell 220, closer to the location of the drying assembly 600, thereby making the outer shell air inlet 222 as close as possible to the air intake of the drying assembly 600.

[0175] In a more specific structure, the air inlet 4113 of the outer cylinder is located at the top of the cylinder circumferential wall 411 near the front end, and the heating module 610 of the drying assembly 600 is basically located directly above the outer cylinder 410. The fan 620 is located on one side of the heating module 610 (i.e., Figure 4 and Figure 5 (on the left side), so that the air inlet of the drying assembly 600, that is, the air inlet of the fan 620, is deviated from the vertical plane of the outer cylinder 410 axis. Correspondingly, the outer shell air inlet 222 is also deviated from the vertical plane of the outer cylinder 410 axis, and is located on the same side of the vertical plane as the air inlet.

[0176] With the above structure, the air inlet 222 of the outer shell and the air inlet of the fan 620 are both located close to the left side, so that their front and rear positions in the axial direction are basically corresponding. This makes it easy for external air to be drawn into the drying assembly 600 through the air inlet 222 of the outer shell, so as to be transported to the outer cylinder 410 and the inner cylinder 420.

[0177] In this embodiment, the rear panel protrusion 225 on the rear shell 220 has an overall nearly circular outline, with only an upward protrusion at the upper edge, so as to avoid the wires led out from the rear side of the heating module 610 of the drying assembly 600.

[0178] In a further embodiment, the projection of the outer cylinder air inlet 4113 along the diameter of the outer cylinder 410 onto the axis of the outer cylinder 410 at least partially passes through the gap between the edge of the inner cylinder 420 and the door sealing assembly 300.

[0179] Preferably, when the outer cylinder air inlet 4113 is located at the top of the cylinder peripheral wall 411, the rear edge of the outer cylinder air inlet 4113 and the top of the inner cylinder 420 opening are substantially on the same vertical plane. In this way, the outer cylinder air inlet 4113 can be exposed as much as possible in the space between the inner cylinder 420 opening and the door sealing assembly 300.

[0180] By adopting the above structure, the obstruction of the front end of the inner cylinder 420 on the lower side of the outer cylinder air inlet 4113 is reduced, which makes it easier for the air entering from the outer cylinder air inlet 4113 to pass directly through the gap between the top of the inner cylinder 420 opening and the door sealing assembly 300, and enter the inner cylinder 420 through the inner cylinder opening, so that hot air can enter the inner cylinder 420 efficiently.

[0181] For further details, see [link / reference]. Figure 6 In this embodiment, the common axis L2 of the outer cylinder 410 and the inner cylinder 420 is inclined at an angle α relative to the horizontal surface, so that the inner cylinder 420 opening and the door sealing assembly 300 have a larger gap distance on the side closer to the outer cylinder air inlet 4113 than the other side.

[0182] Specifically, in this embodiment, the axis L2 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, so that the front end of the inner cylinder 420 opening is higher than the rear end of the cylinder bottom. At this time, the front-to-back distance D1 between the top of the inner cylinder 420 opening and the door sealing assembly 300 is greater than the front-to-back distance D2 between the bottom of the inner cylinder 420 opening and the door sealing assembly 300.

[0183] By adopting the above solution, the gap between the top of the inner cylinder 420 and the door sealing assembly 300 can be increased while keeping the axial dimension of the inner cylinder 420 constant, without compressing the volume of the inner cylinder 420 or increasing the axial dimension of the whole machine.

[0184] Preferably, in this embodiment, the tilt angle α between the axis L2 of the inner cylinder 420 and the horizontal plane is controlled to satisfy: 0°<α≤10°, which can meet the requirement of efficient air intake of the inner cylinder 420, improve the drying effect, and enhance the drying efficiency.

[0185] In a further embodiment, the mounting post 4121 located on the upper part of the bottom wall 412 of the cylinder has a smaller protrusion height relative to the bottom wall 412 than the mounting post 4121 located on the lower part of the bottom wall 412 of the cylinder, so that after the outer cylinder 410 and the inner cylinder 420 are assembled, their common axis L2 is tilted at a certain angle relative to the horizontal plane.

[0186] Specifically, for at least two mounting posts 4121 located at the same height, their protrusion heights are the same. However, for mounting posts 4121 located at different heights from top to bottom, their protrusion heights gradually increase.

[0187] Preferably, the rear end face of the mounting post 4121 is not completely parallel to the rear side surface of the bottom wall 412 of the cylinder, but is set at a certain angle. At the same time, the rear end faces of each mounting post 4121 are coplanar. In this way, during assembly, the rear ends of each mounting post 4121 can simultaneously abut against the back plate of the rear shell 220, ensuring stable installation.

[0188] In a further embodiment, the outer casing assembly 200 has a first mounting bracket 241 located above the outer cylinder 410. The first mounting bracket 241 is connected to the outer cylinder 410 via a bracket connecting portion 4114 protruding from the circumferential wall 411 of the outer cylinder 410. The first mounting bracket 241 provides several integrally formed mounting platforms, on which the water inlet valve 71, water level sensor 73, and drying assembly 600 of the garment handling device are respectively mounted.

[0189] The air chamber 74, which works in conjunction with the water level sensor 73, is located at the lower part of the outer cylinder 410 and is connected to the outer cylinder 410. Both the water level sensor 73 and the air chamber 74 are located on the right side of the axis of the outer cylinder 410, facilitating communication between them.

[0190] Furthermore, a second mounting bracket 242 is provided on the lower side of the outer tube 410, located inside the outer casing assembly 200, and the drainage assembly 72 of the garment handling device is mounted on the second mounting bracket 242. Specifically, the second mounting bracket 242 is located on the left side relative to the axis of the outer tube 410 and is connected to the bottom of the front panel 210.

[0191] In the garment handling device provided in this embodiment, the door lock 75 is installed on the peripheral wall 411 of the outer cylinder 410, without occupying the space on the front side of the outer cylinder 410. This eliminates the need for axial installation space for the door lock 75, which helps to reduce the overall axial dimension of the machine. Combined with the improved door sealing assembly 300, a reliable seal can be achieved between the outer cylinder 410, the front plate 210, and the door 230 within a limited axial space, further miniaturizing the overall axial dimension of the machine.

[0192] In addition, the inner air outlet 413 on the outer cylinder 410 is directly inserted into the outer air outlet 223 on the outer shell assembly 200, thereby directly connecting to the external space of the outer shell assembly 200 to exhaust air outward. The outer shell air inlet 222 on the outer shell assembly 200 is open, and the drying assembly 600 directly draws air from inside the outer shell assembly 200. This eliminates the structure of the air inlet and exhaust ducts in the prior art, saves installation space, and further facilitates the miniaturization design of the clothing processing device.

[0193] Example 2

[0194] like Figures 1 to 14 As shown, this embodiment provides a combined clothing processing device, which has the clothing processing device provided in Embodiment 1 above.

[0195] Specifically, see Figure 11 and Figure 12 The combined clothing processing device of this embodiment includes a first clothing processing device 1 and a second clothing processing device 2, wherein the second clothing processing device 2 has the structure of the clothing processing device described in the first embodiment above.

[0196] More specifically, the first garment handling device 1 includes a housing 11 and a first tubular assembly 12 disposed within the housing 11 with its axis L1 vertical. The top of the housing 11 has a garment inlet 111 communicating with the upper opening of the first tubular assembly 12. The second garment handling device 2 includes an outer casing assembly 200 and a second tubular assembly 400 disposed within the outer casing assembly 200. The second tubular assembly 400 includes an outer tubular assembly 410 and an inner tubular assembly 420 coaxially arranged, and has a substantially horizontal axis L2.

[0197] The outer casing assembly 200 of the second garment processing device 2 is disposed on top of the housing 11 of the first garment processing device 1 and is offset from the axis L1 of the first tubular assembly 12. The orthographic projection of the outer casing assembly 200 in the horizontal plane is substantially covered by the orthographic projection of the housing 11 in the horizontal plane.

[0198] In the above solution, the combined garment processing equipment adopts a dual-unit composite structure design, forming multi-dimensional technical advantages through optimized spatial layout. Specifically, the first garment processing device 1 includes a first drum assembly 12 with a vertical axis L1, and the second garment processing device 2 includes a drum with a basically horizontal axis L2. The first drum assembly 12 and the second drum assembly 400 are suitable for different washing modes, meeting diverse user needs. According to the modular design, the first drum assembly 12 has a vertical axis L1 and generally uses a pulsator structure to drive the water flow to rotate rapidly, suitable for washing large garments. The second drum assembly 400 has a basically horizontal axis L2 and generally uses a drum structure to tumble the garments up and down, resulting in a gentler process, suitable for washing and caring for garments made of special materials, forming a functional layer of "washing + care".

[0199] In the above description, "basic coverage" means that the orthographic projection of the outer shell assembly 200 on the horizontal plane is allowed to slightly exceed the orthographic projection of the shell 11 on the horizontal plane. Depending on the size and model of the garment processing equipment, the range of projection deviation is generally no more than 20cm, preferably no more than 10cm, and most preferably controlled within 5cm.

[0200] Furthermore, in terms of installation method, the outer shell assembly 200 adopts an eccentric top-mounted installation, so that the first garment processing device 1 and the second garment processing device 2 form an asymmetrical spatial layout. By finely adjusting the setting position and size ratio, the center of gravity position of the garment processing equipment can be flexibly changed. The outer shell assembly 200 is set off from the axis of the first cylinder assembly 12 to avoid motion interference between the first cylinder assembly 12 and the second cylinder assembly 400. Compared with the traditional side-by-side layout, the eccentric layout of the second cylinder assembly 400, which is basically horizontal in the axial direction, can effectively disperse the vibration energy when the two systems are operating at the same time.

[0201] The outer casing assembly 200 is located on top of the housing 11, and its projection is largely covered by the housing 11. This means that the projected area of ​​the outer casing assembly 200 on the horizontal plane is smaller than the projected area of ​​the housing 11 on the horizontal plane. This allows the garment inlet 111 at the top of the housing 11 to directly connect the upper opening of the first cylinder assembly 12 to the outside. In other words, the garment inlet 111 is located where the projections of the outer casing assembly 200 and the housing 11 do not overlap, or most of the garment inlets 111 are located where the projections do not overlap. Users can directly place clothes into the first cylinder assembly 12 through the garment inlet 111, thus saving space for the garment processing equipment and making it suitable for home use.

[0202] Since the second garment processing device 2 has the structure of the garment processing device provided in Embodiment 1, it can achieve a miniaturized design of axial dimensions, and it is easier to set it on the top of the housing 11 in a way that is offset from the axis L1 of the first cylinder assembly 12, without blocking the garment inlet 111, and can ensure that the orthographic projection of the outer shell assembly 200 on the horizontal plane is basically covered by the orthographic projection of the housing 11 on the horizontal plane.

[0203] In a preferred embodiment, combining Figure 6 and Figure 11 As shown, only the rear protrusion of the outer shell assembly 200, namely the rear back plate protrusion 225 and the receiving cavity 221 on the rear back plate of the rear shell 220, has its downward orthogonal projection located outside the shell 11. This causes the center of gravity of the second clothing processing device 2 to shift forward and be located above the first clothing processing device 1, which is beneficial to optimizing the stability of the entire device and enhancing the anti-overturning moment.

[0204] In a further embodiment, the volume of the second cylindrical assembly 400 is smaller than that of the first cylindrical assembly 12. The smaller volume of the second cylindrical assembly 400 saves more space and is easier to upgrade and maintain.

[0205] The first tub assembly 12 and the second tub assembly 400 complement each other through differentiated volume design. The first tub assembly 12 serves as the main washing unit to handle large items of clothing, while the second tub assembly 400 serves as the auxiliary washing unit to focus on the quick washing or special care of small items of clothing, forming a functional layer of "main washing + auxiliary washing". At the same time, separate tub processing of clothes can reduce cross-contamination and reduce water consumption.

[0206] In this embodiment, when the second cylinder assembly 400 is eccentrically mounted at the top, its smaller volume allows it to form a stepped spatial nesting structure with the first cylinder assembly 12, optimizing space utilization. Furthermore, controlling the volume of the second cylinder assembly 400 effectively reduces the overall height of the modular garment processing equipment. Simultaneously, the smaller volume also reduces the rotational inertia of the second cylinder assembly 400, enhancing dynamic balance.

[0207] In one specific embodiment, the diameter of the second cylindrical assembly 400 is smaller than the diameter of the first cylindrical assembly 12. Preferably, the diameter of the second cylindrical assembly 400 is smaller than the radius of the first cylindrical assembly 12.

[0208] In the first specific solution of this embodiment, when the capacity of the second tube assembly 400 is less than half the volume of the first tube assembly 12, it is positioned as a "secondary tube unit". The appropriate tube can be selected according to the amount of clothing needed, thereby saving energy consumption.

[0209] In the second specific solution of this embodiment, when the capacity of the second tubular assembly 400 is less than one-quarter of the volume of the first tubular assembly 12, it is positioned as a "dedicated underwear unit" and cross-contamination with the main washing unit is avoided through an independent water system.

[0210] In the third specific scheme of this embodiment, when the capacity of the second cylinder assembly 400 is less than one-eighth of the volume of the first cylinder assembly 12, it is positioned as a "dedicated unit for infant clothing". The inner liner adopts an antibacterial nano-ceramic coating and an additional high-temperature boiling and washing module is added to achieve deep cleaning.

[0211] This embodiment constructs a multi-layered processing system through a gradient volume design, achieving full-scene coverage from large-drum washing to small-drum precision care within a limited space, thus improving the effect of refined zoning of clothing.

[0212] In one specific structure of this embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,as well as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the top of the housing 11 has a tray 112, and a garment inlet 111 is opened in the central area of ​​the tray 112. The outer shell assembly 200 of the second garment processing device 2 is disposed on the tray 112.

[0213] In one specific implementation, the combined garment processing device of this embodiment is an integral structure, that is, the first garment processing device 1 and the second garment processing device 2 have an integral frame structure. Alternatively, at least one side plate of the combined garment processing device forms part of the structure of the housing 11 and the outer shell assembly 200, that is, at least one side plate of the housing 11 and the outer shell assembly 200 is the same side plate, preferably the side plate is an integrally formed structure.

[0214] More specifically, one of the front panel 210 and the rear panel 220 of the outer casing assembly 200 is integrally formed with the tray base 112, thereby forming an integrated combined garment processing device.

[0215] Alternatively, in another specific embodiment, the first garment processing device 1 and the second garment processing device 2 are both independent devices, connected by a connector. Specifically, the bottom of the outer casing assembly 200 is connected to the tray base 112 via a connector.

[0216] In a further embodiment, the outline edges of the orthographic projection of the outer shell assembly 200 and the orthographic projection of the housing 11 at least partially overlap in the horizontal projection plane, resulting in a more compact spatial layout, saving floor space, and further optimizing space utilization. Furthermore, in terms of structural stability, the overlapping design improves the overall structural stability and reduces vibration. Especially when the outer shell assembly 200 is mounted on top of the housing 11, the aligned edge outlines effectively prevent structural damage caused by scraping.

[0217] Preferably, the overlapping area of ​​the orthographic projection contour edges includes the orthographic projections at the corners of the housing assembly 200 and the housing 11. The orthographic projections of the housing assembly 200 and the housing 11 overlap at the corners, that is, the housing assembly 200 and the housing 11 are designed flush with each other at the corners. Since corners are usually places where structural stress is concentrated, the flush structure can further enhance the rigidity of the overall frame.

[0218] In this embodiment, the front plate 210 of the outer shell assembly 200 is provided with a clothing inlet 211 that communicates with the inside of the second cylinder assembly 400, forming a high-low dual channel with the clothing inlet 111 at the top of the shell 11 to realize the separate processing of large and small clothing items.

[0219] Preferably, the front plate 210 of the outer casing assembly 200 is located on the side near the clothing inlet 111 on the casing 11. That is, the second clothing handling device 2 is entirely disposed on the top of the casing 11, behind the clothing inlet 111. The position of the clothing inlet 211 close to the clothing inlet 111 allows for a more compact installation, and the center distance between the two inlets can be freely set according to the user's comfortable arm extension distance, thereby shortening the operation path.

[0220] With the above structure, the rear side of the outer casing assembly 200 and the rear side of the housing 11 overlap or substantially overlap in their orthographic projections on the horizontal plane.

[0221] In a more preferred structure, see Figure 13 The two adjacent side plates of the housing 11 overlap or substantially overlap with the orthographic projection of the rear side and any adjacent side of the housing assembly 200 on the horizontal plane. In this way, an L-shaped reference mounting surface can be formed between the two adjacent side plates of the housing 11 or the rear side and any adjacent side of the housing assembly 200, thereby speeding up the installation process.

[0222] More preferably, the three sequentially connected side plates of the housing 11 overlap or substantially overlap with the orthographic projection of the rear side and adjacent left and right sides of the outer shell assembly 200 on the horizontal plane. In this way, the three side plates of the housing 11 achieve spatial encapsulation and integration with the rear side and adjacent left and right sides of the outer shell assembly 200, forming a U-shaped enclosure structure. The three-sided support provides higher structural stability, and the deployment of a multi-dimensional damping system on the three flush joint surfaces further suppresses structural resonance.

[0223] For further details, please refer to the following: Figure 14 In the combined garment processing device described in this embodiment, at least two second garment processing devices 2 are provided. Specifically, at least two second garment processing devices 2 are arranged side-by-side on the same side of the garment inlet 111 (i.e., Figure 14 (The rear side of the middle).

[0224] Two or more second garment handling devices 2 are arranged side by side on the same side of the garment inlet 111, which is conducive to human-machine interaction optimization, allows the operation panel to be centrally arranged, conforms to the ergonomic field of vision, and reduces the operation error rate.

[0225] Furthermore, two or more second garment processing devices 2 are arranged side by side on the same side of the garment inlet 111. Adjacent second garment processing devices 2 can adopt a shared wall design for the outer shell assembly 200 to achieve a larger capacity expansion and significantly improve space utilization efficiency.

[0226] In a further embodiment, see Figure 11 The combined garment processing equipment also includes a balancing unit 3. Specifically, the balancing unit 3 is disposed at the bottom of the first garment processing device 1, and the balancing unit 3 and the second garment processing device 2 are respectively disposed on both sides of the axis L1 of the first tubular assembly 12 in the first garment processing device 1.

[0227] By incorporating the balancing unit 3, the weight of the second garment processing device 2 can be balanced, ensuring that the vertical projection of the machine's center of gravity remains within a small area of ​​the base center. This enhances the anti-overturning moment and improves the stability of the equipment. Simultaneously, the balancing unit 3 reduces vibration, making the equipment quieter during operation and extending its lifespan. The balancing unit 3 requires high-density materials for effective weight distribution. Alternatively, the balancing unit 3 can be a container structure, achieving weight distribution through water injection. The water injection can be external tap water or drainage from the first garment processing device 1 or the second garment processing device 2.

[0228] The combined garment processing equipment provided in this embodiment adopts a multi-drum, zoned washing structure, achieving refined garment processing through differentiated drum configurations. Specifically, the second drum assembly 400 adopts a horizontal drum design with a small capacity (capacity range not exceeding 3kg), mainly suitable for quick cleaning scenarios of small items / small quantities of clothing. This design fully leverages the synergistic advantages of centrifugal tumbling and low water level, reducing water consumption by 40% and energy consumption by 32% compared to traditional models while ensuring washing cleanliness standards are met. It is particularly suitable for the high-frequency washing needs of infant clothing, underwear, etc. The first drum assembly 12 adopts a vertical impeller design with a large capacity (capacity range up to 8-12kg), equipped with a composite water flow system and variable frequency direct drive technology. Its high-frequency tumbling frequency reaches 800 times / minute, combined with deep water soaking, which can achieve a wrap-around cleaning of large fabrics such as bedding and curtains. Tests have shown that it improves the washing uniformity of loads over 8kg by 25% and shortens the total washing time to within 45 minutes. This three-dimensional zoned washing solution, based on the type, quantity, and degree of soiling of clothing, saves 18% of water and reduces overall energy consumption by 22% compared to existing twin-tub models, achieving an optimal balance between washing efficiency and resource consumption.
