However, multi-tub washing machines that can wash shoes and clothes simultaneously have not yet appeared. Therefore, in order to meet the diverse washing needs of users, a multi-drum washing device was developed and designed, which is equipped with at least three sets of washing drums and water tanks, and can simultaneously wash clothes and shoes separately. Summary of the Invention:

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and to develop and design a multi-drum washing device, which is divided into upper and lower layers. The upper layer has multiple washing drums for washing clothes, and the lower layer has washing drums for washing shoes.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the main structure of the multi-drum washing equipment involved in this utility model includes an outer shell and a set of matching washing drums, water tanks, water inlet pipes and drain pipes inside. The washing drums are nested in the water tanks and driven by a motor. The water tanks are arranged vertically in several layers. The bottom layer uses a drain valve to drain water by gravity. The bottom washing drum is equipped with a shoe brush.

[0005] The water tank is equipped with a drying module consisting of a fan, air duct and heater. A condenser plate is installed on the rear wall. A condenser inlet is installed on the top of the condenser plate and is connected to one of the water inlet pipes.

[0006] The upper water tank drains water through the centrifugal force of the drain pump installed on the outlet pipe. A suspension spring is installed at the top and a shock absorber is installed at the bottom. The outlet pipe is inverted U-shaped, first bending upwards and then downwards before connecting to the outlet pipe of the bottom layer. The suspension spring and the shock absorber are respectively connected to the outer shell.

[0007] The washing drum consists of a drum ring, a rear wall, and a front wall, with brushes installed on the bottom drum ring.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the main structure of this utility model is divided into multiple layers. The upper layer has multiple sets of washing drums and matching water tanks. At least one water tank is equipped with a suspension spring and a shock absorber to realize the washing and dehydration functions of a conventional washing machine. The centrifugal force of the drain pump is used to drain water. The water outlet pipe bends upward first, then downward, and finally connects to the water outlet pipe at the bottom layer. The lower layer has at least one set of washing drums equipped with brushes and matching water tanks. The motor drives the washing drum to rotate, and the brushes follow the rotation of the washing drum to realize the shoe washing function. Furthermore, the brushes are set on the drum ring of the washing drum. When the washing drum rotates, the shoes repeatedly collide and rub against the brushes, which can quickly remove stains.

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] Example 1:

[0016] The main structure of a multi-drum washing device involved in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes a housing 1, an inlet pipe 2, an outlet pipe 3, a water tank 4, a washing drum 5, a fan 6, an air duct 7, a heater 8, a drying module 9, a condensate tray 10, a suspension spring 11, a shock absorber 12, a drain pump 13, a drain valve 14, a motor 15, a drum ring 16, a rear wall of the drum 17, a front wall of the drum 18, a brush 19, and a condensate inlet 20;

[0017] The outer casing 1 contains three sets of water-holding cylinders 4, each with an inlet pipe 2 and an outlet pipe 3. These cylinders 4 are arranged vertically in upper and lower layers, and each contains a washing drum 5. A drying module 9, consisting of a fan 6, an air duct 7, and a heater 8, is located on the side. Figure 3 As shown, a condensation plate 10 is provided on the rear wall. The upper two sets of washing drums and water tanks are arranged horizontally. The water tanks are integral injection molded structures or are fastened together by screws. The lower set of washing drums and water tanks are located in the middle position.

[0018] The top of the upper water tank 4 is connected to the outer shell 1 via a suspension spring 11, and the bottom is connected to the outer shell 1 via a shock absorber 12. The water outlet pipe 3 is inverted U-shaped, first bending upwards and then downwards to connect to the lower water outlet pipe 3. A drain pump 13 is installed on it, and the water is drained by the centrifugal force of the drain pump 13. In this way, the upper water tank can be directly discharged through the lower drain pipe, so that the entire equipment shares a single external drain pipe.

[0019] The lower water tank 4 relies on gravity to drain water, and a drain valve 14 is installed on the water outlet pipe 3. This is because there is a lot of mud and sand on the shoes, which is suitable for natural drainage by gravity. If a centrifugal pump is used for drainage, the drainage pipe needs to be raised, and the mud and sand will accumulate in the drainage pipe.

[0020] like Figure 4 As shown, the washing drum 5 is driven by the motor 15 and includes a drum ring 16, a rear wall 17 and a front wall 18. A brush 19 is provided on the inner wall of the bottom drum ring 16.

[0021] like Figure 5 As shown, the top of the condenser plate 10 is provided with a condenser inlet 20, which is connected to one of the water inlet pipes 2. When working, tap water enters the condenser plate 10 through the water inlet pipe 2 to cool the condenser plate 10, thereby condensing the moisture generated by the clothes and shoes in the washing drum 5 and preventing the moisture from being released into the external environment.

[0022] The working principle of the drying module 9 involved in this embodiment is as follows: the fan 6 blows air into the air duct 7, the heater 8 in the air duct 7 heats the air, and finally blows it into the washing drum 5 to dry the clothes and shoes.
