Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of clothing washing equipment technology, and more particularly to a clothing washing device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, multiple washing drums of a laundry washing machine (such as a multi-drum washing machine) are connected to the upper part of the washing machine's housing via a suspension structure (such as a suspension spring). During normal operation of the laundry washing machine, there may be problems of mutual collision or interference between the multiple washing drums due to shaking. Utility Model Content

[0003] This disclosure provides a clothing washing apparatus that at least partially overcomes the problems existing in the related art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this disclosure provides a laundry washing device, which includes a housing and a first drum, a second drum, and a support, all disposed within the housing. The first cylinder and the second cylinder are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction of the box body; In the front-rear direction of the housing, the opposite ends of the first connector are respectively connected to the rear of the first cylinder and the rear of the second cylinder, and the opposite ends of the second connector are respectively connected to the rear of the first cylinder and the rear of the second cylinder.

[0005] Through the above technical solution, a first connector and a second connector are respectively connected to the rear parts of the first cylinder and the second cylinder, allowing for multi-point connections between the rear parts of the first cylinder and the second cylinder. Compared to a single-point connection, multi-point connections can distribute stress, which helps avoid connection failure due to excessive stress caused by a single point of force, thus improving the reliability of the connection between the first cylinder and the second cylinder. Furthermore, by setting separate first and second connectors, the specific structures of the first connector and the second connector can be rationally designed according to the specific connection structures on the first cylinder and the second cylinder, such as the connection structure with the first support and the second support described below.

[0006] In some possible embodiments, the first connector and the second connector are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction of the housing.

[0007] This configuration, with the first and second cylinders connected at different heights, can disrupt the resonant frequency between the first and second cylinders, reduce relative swaying between them, and improve the stability of the connection.

[0008] In some possible embodiments, the projections of the first connector and the second connector in the vertical direction of the housing coincide.

[0009] With this configuration, while meeting the stability requirements of the connection between the first and second drums, there is no misalignment between the first and second connectors when projected onto the vertical direction of the housing, i.e., along the front-rear direction of the housing. This design allows for a larger space to accommodate other components within the laundry washing equipment between the outer peripheral surface of the first drum facing the second drum, the outer peripheral surface of the second drum facing the first drum, the end face of the first connector facing the front end of the first drum, and the end face of the second connector facing the front end of the second drum.

[0010] In some possible embodiments, the opposite ends of the first connector are detachably connected to the first cylinder and the second cylinder, and / or the opposite ends of the second connector are detachably connected to the first cylinder and the second cylinder, respectively.

[0011] This configuration facilitates the maintenance of both the first and second connectors.

[0012] In some possible embodiments, the first connector includes a first extension and a second extension connected at an angle, the two ends of the first extension being connected to the first cylinder and the second cylinder respectively, the two ends of the second extension being connected to the first cylinder and the second cylinder respectively, and / or, the second connector includes a third extension and a fourth extension connected at an angle, the two ends of the third extension being connected to the first cylinder and the second cylinder respectively, and the two ends of the fourth extension being connected to the first cylinder and the second cylinder respectively.

[0013] This configuration allows one end of the first connector to connect to the first cylinder at two angles, and the other end to connect to the second cylinder at two angles, thus providing connection support for the first and second cylinders in both directions and reducing local stress concentration at the connection point. Similarly, this design allows one end of the second connector to connect to the first cylinder at two angles, and the other end to connect to the second cylinder at two angles, providing connection support for both cylinders in both directions. Therefore, this configuration further improves the stability of the connection between the first and / or second connectors and the first and second cylinders.

[0014] In some possible embodiments, the first extension is arranged horizontally, the second extension is arranged vertically, and / or the third extension is arranged horizontally and the fourth extension is arranged vertically.

[0015] This arrangement facilitates the assembly and disassembly of both the first and second extensions. Because the first and second extensions are perpendicular, it benefits the machining of the first connector and increases its rigidity, enabling it to effectively resist torsional and bending stresses, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the first and second cylinders. Similarly, arranging the third extension horizontally and the fourth extension vertically achieves the same beneficial effects.

[0016] In particular, by arranging the first extension horizontally, the second extension vertically, the third extension horizontally, and the fourth extension vertically, the rigidity of both the first and second connectors is increased, and the first and second cylinders are connected by the first and second connectors, which helps to further improve the stability of the connection between the first and second cylinders.

[0017] In some possible embodiments, the first cylinder is provided with a first support, the second cylinder is provided with a second support, one end of the first connector is connected to the first support and the other end is connected to the second support, and one end of the second connector is connected to the first support and the other end is connected to the second support.

[0018] With this configuration, the first connector and the second connector are fixedly connected to the first cylinder and the second cylinder by connecting to the first bracket and the second bracket respectively. Since the first bracket and the second bracket are located between the first cylinder and the second cylinder, the length of the first connector and the second connector along the left and right directions of the box can be reduced, and the contact area between the first connector and the second connector and the first bracket and the second bracket respectively can be increased, which is conducive to further enhancing the connection strength and connection reliability of the first cylinder and the second cylinder.

[0019] In some possible embodiments, at least one of the first bracket and the second bracket is provided with a mounting portion, which is adapted to be detachably connected to the rear of the housing via a transport rod.

[0020] This configuration allows the first or second bracket to be connected to the rear of the housing via a transport rod, thus enabling the rear of the housing to provide a secure connection to both the first and second cylinders. This reduces the design and manufacturing complexity of the first or second bracket while still ensuring a stable connection.

[0021] In some possible embodiments, the first connector includes a first extension and a second extension connected at an angle, the first extension being connected to the upper ends of the first bracket and the second bracket, the second extension being connected to the side ends of the first bracket and the second bracket along the front-rear direction of the housing, and / or, the second connector includes a third extension and a fourth extension connected at an angle, the third extension being connected to the lower ends of the first bracket and the second bracket, and the fourth extension being connected to the side ends of the first bracket and the second bracket along the front-rear direction of the housing.

[0022] In the above technical solution, the first and second extensions are connected at an angle, allowing one end of the first connector to connect to the first cylinder along two angled directions, and the other end to connect to the second cylinder along two angled directions. This provides connection support for the first and second cylinders in two directions and reduces local stress concentration at the connection point. Similarly, the third and fourth extensions are connected at an angle, allowing one end of the second connector to connect to the first cylinder along two angled directions, and the other end to connect to the second cylinder along two angled directions. This provides connection support for the first and second cylinders in two directions. Therefore, this further improves the stability of the connection between the first and / or second connectors and the first and second cylinders.

[0023] In some possible embodiments, the first extension is provided with a first connecting hole, the upper end of the first bracket is provided with a first mounting hole, the first connecting hole is used to connect to the first mounting hole, and / or, the second extension is provided with a second connecting hole, the side end of the first bracket is provided with a second mounting hole, the second connecting hole is used to connect to the second mounting hole; and / or, the third extension is provided with a third connecting hole, the lower end of the first bracket is provided with a third mounting hole, the third connecting hole is used to connect to the third mounting hole, and / or, the fourth extension is provided with a fourth connecting hole, the side end of the second bracket is provided with a fourth mounting hole, the fourth connecting hole is used to connect to the fourth mounting hole.

[0024] This configuration facilitates the installation of the first and second connectors with the first and second brackets.

[0025] In some possible embodiments, the first extension is a plate-like structure, and / or the second extension is a plate-like structure, and / or the third extension is a plate-like structure, and / or the fourth extension is a plate-like structure.

[0026] The plate-like structure design simplifies the design of the first extension, second extension, third extension, and fourth extension.

[0027] In some possible embodiments, the second extension is configured as a U-shaped part with the opening facing downwards, and / or the fourth extension is configured as a U-shaped part with the opening facing upwards.

[0028] With this configuration, the design of the U-shaped part can save materials while meeting the strength requirements of the second and fourth extensions.

[0029] In some possible embodiments, the laundry equipment includes a front connector, the opposite ends of which are respectively connected to the front ends of the first tub and the second tub.

[0030] This configuration can further improve the stability of the connection between the first and second cylinders.

[0031] In some possible embodiments, the laundry equipment further includes a third drum disposed within the housing, wherein the first drum is located to the upper left of the third drum and the second drum is located to the upper right of the third drum.

[0032] In some possible embodiments, the laundry washing equipment further includes multiple suspension springs and multiple vibration damping components. In the left-right direction of the housing, the side of the first tub away from the second tub is connected to the housing via corresponding suspension springs and vibration damping components, and the side of the second tub away from the first tub is connected to the housing via corresponding suspension springs and vibration damping components.

[0033] The first and second cylinders are connected by a first connector and a second connector. The first cylinder is connected to the housing along one side of the housing via a suspension spring, and the second cylinder is also connected to the housing along one side of the housing via a suspension spring. The first and second cylinders are suspended and supported by the housing. Simultaneously, the first and second cylinders are connected to the housing along one side of the housing via vibration dampers. These vibration dampers provide further support for both cylinders.

[0034] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may include the following beneficial effects: Through the above technical solution, a first connector and a second connector are respectively connected to the rear parts of the first cylinder and the second cylinder, which allows for a multi-point connection between the rear parts of the first cylinder and the rear parts of the second cylinder. Compared with a single-point connection, a multi-point connection can distribute stress, that is, the stress on the rear part of the first cylinder can be distributed in the area where the first cylinder is connected to the first connector and the area where the first cylinder is connected to the second connector, and the stress on the rear part of the second cylinder can be distributed in the area where the second cylinder is connected to the first connector and the area where the second cylinder is connected to the second connector. This helps to avoid the problem of connection failure due to excessive stress caused by single-point force, and improves the reliability of the connection between the first cylinder and the second cylinder.

[0035] Furthermore, by setting up separate first and second connectors, the specific structures of the first and second connectors can be rationally designed according to the specific connection structures on the first and second cylinders.

[0036] Other features and advantages of this disclosure will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0048] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0049] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "up," "down," "top," "bottom," "front," "back," "left," and "right" are generally defined according to the position of the laundry washing equipment in normal use (see reference for details). Figure 1 (As shown), this is only for the convenience of describing this disclosure and for simplifying the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or a specific orientation construction and operation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The front of the cabinet may be the side of the cabinet corresponding to the clothes loading port of the washing drum (as described below as the first drum, the second drum, and the third drum), the rear side of the cabinet is the side opposite to the front side, and the left-right direction of the cabinet is the direction perpendicular to the front-back direction of the cabinet, that is, the width direction of the cabinet. "Inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of the corresponding components. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish one element from another and do not have sequentiality or importance.

[0050] In the description of this disclosure, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms “set up,” “connect,” “link,” and “install” should be interpreted broadly, for example, as a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection.

[0051] The connection can be direct or indirect, via an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the terms used in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this disclosure provides a laundry washing device 100, including a housing 10 and a first drum 1, a second drum 2, a first connector 61, and a second connector 62, all disposed within the housing 10. The first drum 1 and the second drum 2 are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction of the housing 10. In the front-back direction of the housing 10, the opposite ends of the first connector 61 are respectively connected to the rear of the first drum 1 and the rear of the second drum 2, and the opposite ends of the second connector 62 are respectively connected to the rear of the first drum 1 and the rear of the second drum 2.

[0053] Through the above technical solution, a first connector 61 and a second connector 62 are respectively connected to the rear parts of the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2, which allows for a multi-point connection between the rear parts of the first cylinder 1 and the rear parts of the second cylinder 2. Compared with a single-point connection, a multi-point connection can distribute stress, that is, the stress on the rear part of the first cylinder 1 can be distributed in the area where the first cylinder 1 is connected to the first connector 61 and the area where the first cylinder 1 is connected to the second connector 62. Similarly, the stress on the rear part of the second cylinder 2 can be distributed in the area where the second cylinder 2 is connected to the first connector 61 and the area where the second cylinder 2 is connected to the second connector 62. This helps to avoid the problem of connection failure due to excessive stress caused by single-point force, and improves the reliability of the connection between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2.

[0054] Furthermore, by setting up a split first connector 61 and a second connector 62, the specific structure of the first connector 61 and the second connector 62 can be reasonably designed according to the specific connection structure on the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2, such as the connection structure with the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52 described below.

[0055] It should be noted that the rear part of the first cylinder 1 refers to the section of the first cylinder 1 near the rear end of the first cylinder 1 along the front-rear direction of the box body 10, which may include the part of the first cylinder 1 near its rear end face and the rear end face. The front part of the first cylinder 1 refers to the section of the first cylinder 1 near the opening of the first cylinder 1 along the front-rear direction of the box body 10. That is to say, along the front-rear direction of the box body 10, the rear part of the first cylinder 1 is farther away from the opening of the first cylinder 1 than the front part of the first cylinder 1.

[0056] Similarly, the rear part of the second cylinder 2 refers to the section of the second cylinder 2 near the rear end of the second cylinder 2 along the front-back direction of the box body 10, which may include the part of the second cylinder 2 near its rear end face and the rear end face. The front part of the second cylinder 2 refers to the section of the second cylinder 2 near the opening (clothing inlet) of the second cylinder 2 along the front-back direction of the box body 10. That is to say, along the front-back direction of the box body 10, the rear part of the second cylinder 2 is farther away from the opening (clothing inlet) of the second cylinder 2 than the front part of the second cylinder 2.

[0057] This disclosure does not limit the relative positional relationship between the first connector 61 and the second connector 62. For example, the first connector 61 and the second connector 62 can be arranged at intervals along the horizontal or vertical direction of the housing 10, or they can be arranged in a staggered manner.

[0058] In one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first connector 61 and the second connector 62 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction of the housing 10 (i.e., along the height direction of the housing 10). This arrangement, with the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 connected at different heights, can disrupt the resonant frequency between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2, reduce the relative sway between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2, and improve the stability of the connection.

[0059] In some embodiments, the projections of the first connector 61 and the second connector 62 in the vertical direction of the housing 10 may not coincide, for example, they may intersect or be staggered.

[0060] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the projections of the first connector 61 and the second connector 62 in the vertical direction of the housing 10 coincide. This arrangement, while satisfying the stability requirements of the connection between the first drum 1 and the second drum 2, ensures that there is no misalignment between the first connector 61 and the second connector 62 in the vertical direction of the housing 10, i.e., along the front-rear direction of the housing 10. This design allows for a larger space to accommodate other components (such as drain pipes, sensors, etc.) within the laundry washing equipment 100 between the outer peripheral surface 12 of the first drum 1 facing the second drum 2, the outer peripheral surface 12 of the second drum 2 facing the first drum 1, the end face of the first connector 61 facing the front end of the first drum 1, and the end face of the second connector 62 facing the front end of the second drum 2.

[0061] To facilitate the maintenance of the first connector 61 and the second connector 62, in some embodiments, the opposite ends of the first connector 61 are detachably connected to the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2, and / or the opposite ends of the second connector 62 are detachably connected to the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2, respectively.

[0062] The first connector 61 and the second connector 62 can have any shape and structure suitable for connecting the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2. In one embodiment of this disclosure, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the first connector 61 includes a first extension 611 and a second extension 612 connected at an angle. The two ends of the first extension 611 are respectively connected to the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2, and the two ends of the second extension 612 are respectively connected to the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2. And / or, the second connector 62 includes a third extension 621 and a fourth extension 622 connected at an angle. The two ends of the third extension 621 are respectively connected to the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2, and the two ends of the fourth extension 622 are respectively connected to the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2.

[0063] The design of the first extension 611 and the second extension 612 being connected at an angle allows one end of the first connector 61 to be connected to the first cylinder 1 in two angular directions, and the other end to be connected to the second cylinder 2 in two angular directions. This provides connection support for the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 in two directions and also reduces local stress concentration at the connection.

[0064] Similarly, the design of the third extension 621 and the fourth extension 622 being connected at an angle allows one end of the second connector 62 to be connected to the first cylinder 1 along two angled directions, and the other end to be connected to the second cylinder 2 along two angled directions, thereby providing connection support for the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 in two directions. Therefore, the above arrangement helps to further improve the stability of the connection between the first connector 61 and / or the second connector 62 and the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2.

[0065] The angle between the first extension 611 and the second extension 612 can be any angle, and the angle between the third extension and the fourth extension 622 can also be any angle. For example, the first extension 611 and the second extension 612 can be connected at 90 degrees, and the third extension 621 and the fourth extension 622 can be connected at 90 degrees. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0066] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 3 As shown, the above-mentioned laundry washing equipment 100 also includes a bracket 5, which is located between the first drum 1 and the second drum 2 in the left-right direction of the housing 10, and the bracket 5 is connected to at least one of the first drum 1 and the second drum 2. The bracket 5 can be used to connect with related components, such as the first connector 61 and / or the second connector 62 mentioned above.

[0067] The phrase "the bracket 5 is connected to at least one of the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2" means that the bracket 5 can be connected only to the first cylinder 1 and not to the second cylinder 2, or it can be connected only to the second cylinder 2. However, instead of being connected to the first cylinder 1, the bracket 5 can also be connected to both the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2.

[0068] The bracket 5 can be arranged in various ways along the front and rear direction of the housing 10. For example, the bracket 5 can be arranged at the front end, middle end or rear end of the first cylinder 1, or at the front end, middle end or rear end of the second cylinder 2. That is, the bracket 5 can be arranged at any position of the first cylinder 1 or the second cylinder 2 along the front and rear direction of the housing 10. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0069] The bracket 5 is connected to the rear of the first cylinder 1 or the second cylinder 2, and there is a large space in front of the bracket 5 between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 to accommodate other components.

[0070] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the bracket 5 is provided with a mounting part 53, which is adapted to be detachably connected to the rear part 8 of the housing 10 via a transport rod 7. During the transportation of the laundry equipment 100, the transport rod 7 is allowed to be used to connect the mounting part 53 of the bracket 5 and the rear part 8 of the housing 10, fixing the first drum 1 and the second drum 2 to the rear part 8 of the housing 10 (e.g., the rear side wall of the housing 10). This improves the stability of the first drum 1 and the second drum 2 within the housing 10, avoiding collisions between the first drum 1 and the second drum 2 and the housing 10 due to vibration and displacement during transportation, thus protecting the laundry equipment 100 during transportation.

[0071] In some embodiments, the upper ends of the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 can be connected to the housing 10 by a lifting structure (such as a suspension spring), and the lower sides of the first cylinder 1 and the lower sides of the second cylinder 2 are respectively connected to the rear part 8 of the housing 10 by another transport rod 7.

[0072] In other words, in addition to connecting the support 5 located between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 to the transport rod 7, the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 can also be connected to another transport 7 through the lower regions of the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2.

[0073] By combining the bracket 5 with the mounting part 53 suitable for connecting with the transport rod 7 between the first drum 1 and the second drum 2, on the one hand, more transport rods 7 can be used to support and fix the first drum 1 and the second drum 2 during the transportation of the laundry equipment 100, which can improve the stability of the connection between the first drum 1 and the second drum 2 and the housing 10, and is beneficial to the protection of the laundry equipment 100.

[0074] On the other hand, by rationally designing the position of the mounting part 53 on the bracket 5 along the height direction of the box 10, the support and fixing points provided by the box 10 for the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 via the transport rod 7 are located in the upper region of the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2. Combined with the support and fixing provided by the box 10 via the transport rod 7 on the lower side of the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2, the box 10 provides support and fixing points for the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 in a triangular distribution through multiple transport rods 7. Therefore, the stability of the connection between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 and the box 10 can be further improved.

[0075] In addition, along the left and right direction of the box body 10, the bracket 5 is set between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2. The mounting part 53 connected to the bracket 5 and the transport rod 7 of the rear part 8 of the box body 10 form a diagonal support and fixation for the first cylinder 1 or the second cylinder 2, which has good support stability.

[0076] The bracket 5 can be arranged in various ways along the front and rear direction of the housing 10. For example, the bracket 5 can be arranged at the front end, middle end or rear end of the first cylinder 1, or at the front end, middle end or rear end of the second cylinder 2. That is, the bracket 5 can be arranged at any position of the first cylinder 1 or the second cylinder 2 along the front and rear direction of the housing 10. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0077] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the bracket 5 is located at the rear of the first cylinder 1 or the second cylinder 2 in the front-rear direction of the housing 10. For example, it is disposed near the rear end face of the first cylinder 1, or near the rear end face of the second cylinder 2, or on the rear end face of the second cylinder 2. Distributing the bracket 5 at the rear of the first cylinder 1 or the second cylinder 2 shortens the distance between the mounting part 53 and the rear part 8 of the housing 10, which helps to shorten the length of the transport rod 7 and save costs. Simultaneously, shortening the distance also helps to improve the reliability of the locking mechanism.

[0078] The support 5 can be a single piece or a separate piece. For example, the support 5 may include the first support 51 and the second support 52 mentioned below.

[0079] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first cylinder 1 is provided with a first support 51, the second cylinder 2 is provided with a second support 52, one end of the first connector 61 is connected to the first support 51, the other end of the first connector 61 is connected to the second support 52, one end of the second connector 62 is connected to the first support 51, and the other end of the second connector 62 is connected to the second support 52.

[0080] The first connector 61 and the second connector 62 are fixedly connected to the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 by connecting to the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52, respectively. Since the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52 are located between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2, the length of the first connector 61 and the second connector 62 along the left and right direction of the housing 10 can be reduced, and the contact area between the first connector 61 and the second connector 62 and the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52 can be increased, thereby further enhancing the connection strength and connection reliability of the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2.

[0081] Furthermore, by setting the bracket 5 as a split type, namely two independent first brackets 51 and second brackets 52, with the first bracket 51 connected to the first cylinder 1 and extending toward the second cylinder 2, and the second bracket 52 connected to the second cylinder 2 and extending toward the first cylinder 1, the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52 can be adaptively designed according to different components. For example, if the materials of the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 are different, the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52 can be adaptively selected with corresponding material designs, thus improving the flexibility of the bracket 5 design.

[0082] Optionally, the connection between the first bracket 51 and the first cylinder 1 can be a detachable connection, such as a threaded connection or a snap-fit ​​connection. Alternatively, the connection between the second bracket 52 and the second cylinder 2 can also be a detachable connection. This disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first bracket 51 is integrally formed with the first cylinder 1, making the first bracket 51 a part of the first cylinder 1. This design can improve the strength of the connection between the first bracket 51 and the first cylinder 1, and also reduce the number of parts and corresponding assembly processes. Obviously, the second bracket 52 can also be integrally formed with the second cylinder 2, thereby improving the strength of the connection between the second bracket 52 and the second cylinder 2.

[0084] In some embodiments of this disclosure, at least one of the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52 is provided with a mounting portion 53, which is adapted to be detachably connected to the rear part 8 of the housing 10 via a transport rod 7. One end of the transport rod 7 can be connected to the mounting portion 53 of the first bracket 51 or the second bracket 52, and the other end can be connected to the rear part 8 of the housing 10. The first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 are fixedly connected to the rear part 8 of the housing 10.

[0085] During the transportation of the laundry equipment 100, a transport rod 7 is allowed to be used to connect the mounting part 53 of the first bracket 51 and / or the second bracket 52 and the rear part 8 of the housing 10, fixing the first drum 1 and the second drum 2 to the rear part 8 of the housing 10 (e.g., the rear side wall of the housing 10). This can improve the stability of the first drum 1 and the second drum 2 within the housing 10, and avoid the problem of collision between the first drum 1 and the second drum 2 and the housing 10 due to vibration and displacement during the transportation of the laundry equipment 100, which is beneficial to the protection of the laundry equipment 100 during transportation.

[0086] Only one of the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52 may be provided with the mounting part 53, or both may be provided with the mounting part 53. That is to say, if only one of the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52 is provided with the mounting part 53, the first cylinder 1 or the second cylinder 2 can be fixedly connected to the rear part 8 of the housing 10 using the transport rod 7 through the mounting part 53. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0087] Furthermore, since the first bracket 51 extends toward the second cylinder 2 and the second bracket 52 extends toward the first cylinder 1, it is advantageous to ensure that the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52 do not exceed the top and bottom of the first cylinder 1 or the second cylinder 2 in the height direction of the housing 10, thus avoiding interference with other components.

[0088] The first support 51 and the second support 52 can be located at the middle of the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 respectively in the height direction of the box 10.

[0089] In some embodiments, there may be multiple mounting portions 53. These multiple mounting portions 53 may include at least two mounting portions 53 spaced apart in the vertical direction of the housing 10 on the first bracket 51, or at least two mounting portions 53 spaced apart in the vertical direction of the housing 10 on the second bracket 52. By providing multiple mounting portions 53 along the vertical direction of the housing 10 on the first bracket 51 and / or the second bracket 52, multiple transport rods 7 can be used, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 and the rear portion 8 of the housing 10.

[0090] For example, the first bracket 51 can be provided with multiple mounting parts 53 along the height direction of the box 10, allowing multiple transport rods 7 to be connected to the corresponding multiple mounting parts 53 respectively. That is to say, the connection between the first cylinder 1 and the rear part 8 of the box 10 is a multi-point connection. During transportation, the force of the vibration of the first cylinder 1 caused by vehicle bumps on the rear part 8 of the box 10 is distributed at multiple positions of the rear part 8. This can avoid the problem that a single position of the rear part 8 may be subjected to excessive force, resulting in damage or even connection failure. This is conducive to improving the stability of the connection between the first cylinder 1 and the rear part 8 of the box 10.

[0091] This disclosure does not limit the specific structure of the first support 51 and the second support 52. In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first support 51 includes a first main body 512, a first columnar body 511, and a first reinforcing rib 513. The first columnar body 511 is located on the side of the first main body 512 near the second support 52, and the first reinforcing rib 513 is connected to the first columnar body 511 and the first main body 512. And / or, the second support 52 includes a second main body 522, a second columnar body 521, and a second reinforcing rib 523. The second columnar body 521 is located on the side of the second main body 522 near the first support 51, and the second reinforcing rib 523 is connected to the second columnar body 521 and the second main body 522.

[0092] The first columnar body 511 is positioned on the side of the first main body 512 near the second support 52. The screw hole 531 is located on the first columnar body 511. The transport rod 7 connected to the screw hole 531 is closer to the center line of the box 10 in the left-right direction. It is connected to the rear part 8 of the box 10 via the transport rod 7 on the lower side of the first cylinder 1, which helps to further improve the stability of the connection between the first cylinder 1 and the box 10.

[0093] The second columnar body 521 is positioned on the side of the second main body 522 near the first support 51, and the screw hole 531 is positioned on the second columnar body 521. The transport rod 7 connected to the screw hole 531 is positioned closer to the center line of the box 10 in the left-right direction. It is connected to the rear part 8 of the box 10 via the transport rod 7 on the lower side of the second cylinder 2, which helps to further improve the stability of the connection between the second cylinder 2 and the box 10.

[0094] Furthermore, by connecting the first columnar body 511 to the first main body 512 via the first reinforcing rib 513, material can be saved for the first support 51 while ensuring it meets strength requirements. Similarly, by connecting the second columnar body 521 to the second main body 522 via the second reinforcing rib 523, material can be saved for the second support 52 while ensuring it meets strength requirements. This saving of material in the first support 51 and / or the second support 52 reduces costs.

[0095] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 53 includes at least one screw hole 531 for threaded connection with the transport rod 7. The at least one screw hole 531 may be located on the first columnar body 511, or it may be located on the second columnar body 521. By providing the screw hole 531 on the first columnar body 511 and / or the second columnar body 521, the connection and installation of the transport rod 7 and the screw hole 531 can be facilitated.

[0096] The screw hole 531 is used for threaded connection with the transport rod 7. In this case, the transport rod 7 can be referred to as a transport screw. The first bracket 51 includes a first columnar body 511, and at least one screw hole 531 is provided in the first columnar body 511. And / or, the second bracket 52 includes a second columnar body 521, and at least one screw hole 531 is provided in the second columnar body 521. By providing the screw hole 531 in the first columnar body 511 and / or the second columnar body 521, it is convenient to connect and install the transport rod 7 and the screw hole 531.

[0097] Furthermore, by providing a first columnar body 511 on the first support 51 and a second columnar body 521 on the second support 52, it is convenient to form a screw hole 531. At the same time, it allows the thickness (dimension along the front-back direction of the housing 10) of other parts of the first support 51 and the second support 52 to be relatively small, thus saving materials.

[0098] In other embodiments of this disclosure, the mounting portion 53 may include a stud located on the bracket 5 (first bracket 51 and / or second bracket 52), and the transport rod 7 may be provided with a threaded hole that engages with the stud.

[0099] To further save materials and reduce costs, in some embodiments, the first columnar body 511 is provided with a plurality of first hollow portions 514 arranged around the screw hole 531, and / or the second columnar body 521 is provided with a plurality of second hollow portions 524 arranged around the screw hole 531.

[0100] To further improve the stability of the connection between the first tub 1 and / or the second tub 2 and the rear part 8 of the housing 10, and to ensure the overall balance of the washing equipment, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52 are symmetrically arranged along the centerline of the left and right directions of the housing 10.

[0101] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first connector 61 includes a first extension 611 and a second extension 612 connected at an angle. The first extension 611 of the first connector 61 is connected to the upper end of the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52, and the second extension 612 of the first connector 61 is connected to the side end of the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52 along the front-rear direction of the housing 10. Alternatively, the third extension 621 of the second connector 62 is connected to the lower end of the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52, and the fourth extension 622 of the second connector 62 is connected to the side end of the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52 along the front-rear direction of the housing 10.

[0102] The design of the first extension 611 and the second extension 612 being connected at an angle allows one end of the first connector 61 to be connected to the first cylinder 1 in two angular directions, and the other end to be connected to the second cylinder 2 in two angular directions. This provides connection support for the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 in two directions and also reduces local stress concentration at the connection.

[0103] Similarly, the design of the third extension 621 and the fourth extension 622 being connected at an angle allows one end of the second connector 62 to be connected to the first cylinder 1 along two angled directions, and the other end to be connected to the second cylinder 2 along two angled directions, thereby providing connection support for the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 in two directions. Therefore, the above arrangement helps to further improve the stability of the connection between the first connector 61 and / or the second connector 62 and the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2.

[0104] The angle between the first extension 611 and the second extension 612 can be any angle, and the angle between the third extension and the fourth extension 622 can also be any angle. For example, the first extension 611 and the second extension 612 can be connected at 90 degrees, and the third extension 621 and the fourth extension 622 can be connected at 90 degrees. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0105] In some embodiments, the first extension 611 can be arranged horizontally to facilitate its installation and disassembly, thereby also facilitating the installation and maintenance of the first connector 61. The second extension 612 can be arranged vertically to facilitate its assembly and disassembly, thereby also facilitating the installation and maintenance of the first connector 61. In particular, when the first extension 611 is arranged horizontally and the second extension 612 is arranged vertically, making it easy to assemble and disassemble the first extension 611 and the second extension 612, even when assembling and disassembling the first connector 61, the perpendicular angle between the first extension 611 and the second extension 612 facilitates the processing of the first connector 61 and increases its rigidity, enabling it to effectively resist torsional and bending stresses, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2.

[0106] Similarly, the third extension 621 can be arranged horizontally, and the fourth extension 622 can be arranged vertically, or the third extension 621 can be arranged horizontally and the fourth extension 622 can be arranged vertically at the same time. These arrangements also have the aforementioned beneficial effects, which will not be elaborated further in this disclosure.

[0107] In particular, by setting the first extension 611 to be horizontally arranged, the second extension 612 to be vertically arranged, the third extension 621 to be horizontally arranged, and the fourth extension 622 to be vertically arranged, the rigidity of the first connector 61 and the second connector 62 is increased. The first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 are connected by the first connector 61 and the second connector 62, which helps to further improve the stability of the connection between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2.

[0108] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the first extension 611 is provided with a first connecting hole 6111, the upper end of the first bracket 51 is provided with a first mounting hole 54, and the first connecting hole 6111 is used to connect to the first mounting hole 54, and / or, the second extension 612 is provided with a second connecting hole 6121, the side end of the first bracket 51 is provided with a second mounting hole 55, and the second connecting hole 6121 is used to connect to the second mounting hole 55, and / or, the third extension 621 is provided with a third connecting hole 6211, the lower end of the first bracket 51 is provided with a third mounting hole 56, and the third connecting hole 6211 is used to connect to the third mounting hole 56, and / or, the fourth extension 622 is provided with a fourth connecting hole 6221, the side end of the second bracket 52 is provided with a fourth mounting hole 57, and the fourth connecting hole 6221 is used to connect to the fourth mounting hole 57. This arrangement facilitates the installation of the first connector 61 and the second connector 62 with the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52.

[0109] The first extension 611, the second extension 612, the third extension, and the fourth extension 622 may have any structure and shape suitable for connection with the first support 51 and the second support 52, and this disclosure does not limit this. In one embodiment of this disclosure, the first extension 611 is a plate-like structure, and / or, the second extension 612 is a plate-like structure, and / or, the third extension 621 is a plate-like structure, and / or, the fourth extension 622 is a plate-like structure.

[0110] The plate-like structure design simplifies the design of the first extension 611, the second extension 612, the third extension 621, and the fourth extension 622.

[0111] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the second extension 612 is configured as a U-shaped member with its opening facing downwards, and / or the fourth extension 622 is configured as a U-shaped member with its opening facing upwards. While satisfying the strength requirements of the second extension 612 and the fourth extension 622, the design of the U-shaped member can save materials. Furthermore, by designing the second extension 612 as a U-shaped member with its opening facing downwards and the fourth extension 622 as a U-shaped member with its opening facing upwards, that is, along the vertical direction of the housing 10, the U-shaped opening of the second extension 612 faces the lower ends of the first support 51 and the second support 52, and the U-shaped opening of the fourth extension 622 faces the upper ends of the first support 51 and the second support 52. Therefore, the structures of the first support 51 and the second support 52 corresponding to the U-shaped areas can be avoided, thereby facilitating the design of the first support 51 and the second support 52.

[0112] To further enhance the strength of the connection between the first tub 1 and the second tub 2, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the laundry washing apparatus 100 further includes a front-end connector 20, with its opposite ends connected to the front of the first tub 1 and the front of the second tub 2, respectively. By providing the front-end connector 20, the stability of the connection between the first tub 1 and the second tub 2 can be further improved.

[0113] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the washing equipment also includes a third drum 3 disposed inside the housing 10, with the first drum 1 located to the upper left of the third drum 3 and the second drum 2 located to the upper right of the third drum 3.

[0114] It should be noted that this disclosure does not limit the specific functions of the first drum 1, the second drum 2, and the third drum 3. The first drum 1, the second drum 2, and the third drum 3 can all be any one of the following: drying drum, washing drum, and washer-dryer drum.

[0115] For example, when the first tub 1 is a washing tub, the first tub 1 can have a washing function, enabling the first tub 1 to wash the items to be washed inside the first tub 1.

[0116] When the first drum 1 is a washer-dryer drum, the first drum 1 can have both washing and drying functions, enabling the first drum 1 to wash and dry the items to be washed inside the first drum 1.

[0117] Similarly, when the second tub 2 is a washing tub, the second tub 2 can have a washing function, enabling the second tub 2 to wash the items to be washed inside the second tub 2.

[0118] When the second drum 2 is a washer-dryer drum, the second drum 2 can have both washing and drying functions, enabling the second drum 2 to wash and dry the items to be washed inside the second drum 2.

[0119] In addition, when the third tub 3 is a washing tub, the third tub 3 can have a washing function, enabling the third tub 3 to wash the items to be washed inside the third tub 3.

[0120] When the third drum 3 is a washer-dryer drum, the third drum 3 can have both washing and drying functions, enabling the third drum 3 to wash and dry the items to be washed inside the third drum 3.

[0121] By combining the functions of the first drum 1, the second drum 2, and the third drum 3, the above-mentioned laundry equipment 100 can have the functions of separate washing (such as one drum for washing outerwear, one drum for washing infant clothing, and another drum for washing underwear and other intimate clothing), separate drying, or washing and drying in one unit.

[0122] Furthermore, this disclosure does not limit the dimensions of the first tub 1, the second tub 2, and the third tub 3. The first tub 1, the second tub 2, and the third tub 3 can have any suitable dimensions, as long as they meet the washing requirements of the laundry washing equipment 100. For example, the diameter of the third tub 3 may be larger than the diameter of the first tub 1, and / or the diameter of the third tub 3 may be larger than the diameter of the second tub 2. A larger diameter third tub 3 allows for a larger volume, enabling it to hold more laundry and meet the user's requirements for large-volume washing or drying in a single operation.

[0123] Moreover, the smaller diameter of the first drum 1 and the second drum 2 allows for a reduction in size of the first drum 1 and the second drum 2 while still satisfying the requirements for zoned washing, thereby reducing the height of the cabinet 10 and facilitating the placement of the laundry equipment 100 in the user's home.

[0124] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the laundry equipment also includes multiple suspension springs 30 and multiple vibration damping components 9. In the left-right direction of the housing 10, the side of the first drum 1 away from the second drum 2 is connected to the housing 10 through corresponding suspension springs 30 and vibration damping components 9, and the side of the second drum 2 away from the first drum 1 is connected to the housing 10 through corresponding suspension springs 30 and vibration damping components 9.

[0125] The first drum 1 and the second drum 2 are connected by the first connector 61 and the second connector 62. The first drum 1 is connected to the housing 10 along one side of the housing 10 in the left-right direction via a suspension spring 30, and the second drum 2 is connected to the housing 10 along one side of the housing 10 in the left-right direction via a suspension spring 30. The first drum 1 and the second drum 2 are suspended and supported on the housing 10. At the same time, the first drum 1 is connected to the housing 10 along one side of the housing 10 in the left-right direction via a vibration damper 9, and the second drum 2 is connected to the housing 10 along one side of the housing 10 in the left-right direction via a vibration damper 9. On the one hand, the vibration damper 9 can provide further support for the first drum 1 and the second drum 2. On the other hand, when the first drum 1 and / or the second drum 2 vibrate during operation, the vibration damper 9 can absorb some of the vibration energy and isolate the impact of the vibration of the first drum 1 and / or the second drum 2 on the housing 10, thereby helping to reduce the vibration and displacement generated by the laundry washing equipment 100 during operation.

[0126] The damping element 9 may include at least one first damping element 91 and / or at least one second damping element 92, which is not limited in this disclosure. The number of suspension springs 30 may be two or more, which is also not limited in this disclosure.

[0127] The relative positions of the damper 9 and the suspension spring 30 are not limited in this disclosure. For example, the suspension spring 30 may be located at the front end of the first cylinder 1 or the second cylinder 2, close to the side of the housing 10 along the left-right direction, while the damper 9 may be located at the rear end of the first cylinder 1 or the second cylinder 2, close to the side of the housing 10 along the left-right direction. Alternatively, the suspension spring 30 may be located above the damper 9 along the vertical direction of the housing 10 and aligned with the position of the damper 9 along the front-back direction of the housing 10.

[0128] The present disclosure does not limit the number of damping elements 9 and suspension springs 30. For example, a damping element 9 or suspension spring 30 may be provided at the rear of the first cylinder 1 or the second cylinder 2. Alternatively, a damping element 9 or suspension spring 30 may be provided at the front and rear of the first cylinder 1 or the second cylinder 2. Or, two or more damping elements 9 or suspension springs 30 may be arranged at intervals along the front-rear direction of the housing 10 in the first cylinder 1 or the second cylinder 2.

[0129] In some embodiments, such as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the laundry washing equipment 100 also includes a vibration damping bracket 4, which includes a connecting part 41. The connecting part 41 is connected to the housing 10 via a vibration damping member 9. At least one of the first drum 1 and the second drum 2 is provided with the aforementioned vibration damping bracket 4. The following description uses the first drum 1 as an example.

[0130] The connecting part 41 of the vibration damping bracket 4 is located behind the first drum 1 in the front-rear direction of the housing 10, so that the vibration damping member 9 is located behind the first drum 1 in the front-rear direction of the housing 10. In this way, a larger space can be provided for the components located below the first drum 1 in the laundry equipment 100 (such as the suspension spring 30 of the third drum 3, the inter-drum vibration damping sensor, etc.). This allows the components located below the first drum 1 to occupy less space in the vertical direction of the housing 10, which helps to reduce the overall height of the housing 10, improve the compactness of the laundry equipment, and facilitate its installation in the user's home.

[0131] For embodiments with a third tube 3, it can be as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the damping component 9 connected to the first cylinder 1 is installed on the side beam inside the housing 10. The third cylinder 3 is suspended on the beam by a suspension spring. The installation position of the suspension spring on the beam is below the first cylinder 1 along the front-rear direction of the housing 10. By setting the connecting part 41 of the damping bracket 4 of the first cylinder 1 behind the first cylinder 1 in the front-rear direction of the housing 10, the damping component 9 can also be located behind the first cylinder 1, so that the area on the beam connected to the damping component 9 and the area on the beam connected to the suspension spring used to install the second cylinder 2 avoid each other and do not interfere with each other.

[0132] It is understandable that the first damping member 91 being located behind the first cylinder 1 in the front-rear direction of the housing 10 means that the first damping member 91 is located behind the rear end face of the first cylinder 1, that is, along the height direction of the housing 10, the projection of the first damping member 91 is located behind the projection of the rear end face 11 of the first cylinder 1.

[0133] In some embodiments, the vibration damping bracket 4 is connected to or integrally formed on the rear end face 11 of the first cylinder 1, that is, the vibration damping bracket 4 extends rearward from the rear end face of the first cylinder 1. This arrangement ensures that the vibration damping bracket 4 is located entirely in the rear direction of the first cylinder. By placing the vibration damping bracket 4 on the rear end face 11 of the first cylinder 1, on the one hand, the vibration damping bracket 4 will not interfere with other structural components or parts disposed on the outer peripheral surface 12 of the first cylinder 1. This facilitates the optimization of the layout of the components disposed along the outer peripheral surface 12 of the first cylinder 1 and the structural design of the first cylinder 1 along the outer peripheral surface 12. Furthermore, since the vibration damping bracket 4 does not extend rearward from the rear end face of the outer peripheral surface 12 of the first cylinder 1, while providing sufficient size for the connection portion 41 for mounting the first vibration damping member 91, the size of the vibration damping bracket 4 in the front-rear direction of the housing 10 can also be reduced, saving materials and reducing costs.

[0134] The vibration damping bracket 4 can be installed on the rear end face 11 of the first cylinder 1 by means of a connecting structure (such as a threaded or pinned connection structure) or by means of integrally forming the vibration damping bracket 4 on the rear end face 11 of the first cylinder 1. The integral forming method is beneficial to improving the connection strength between the vibration damping bracket 4 and the first cylinder 1, and at the same time, it can also reduce the assembly process.

[0135] In other embodiments of this disclosure, the vibration damping bracket 4 is connected to or integrally formed on the outer peripheral surface 12 of the first cylinder 1, that is, the vibration damping bracket 4 extends rearward from the outer peripheral surface of the first cylinder 1.

[0136] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the laundry washing equipment 100 also includes at least one reinforcing member 43, which is connected to the rear end face 11 of the first drum 1 and the vibration damping bracket 4. The vibration damping bracket 4 is connected to the rear end face 11 of the first drum 1 by at least one reinforcing member 43. While ensuring the connection strength between the vibration damping bracket 4 and the rear end face 11 of the first drum 1, the size of the vibration damping bracket 4 can be appropriately reduced, for example, the size along the left and right direction of the housing 10, which also helps to save materials.

[0137] In other embodiments, the vibration damping bracket 4 is connected to or integrally formed on the outer peripheral surface 12 of the first cylinder 1. That is, the vibration damping bracket 4 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface 12 of the first cylinder 1 and extends toward the rear of the first cylinder 1 in the front-rear direction of the housing 10. With this arrangement, in the front-rear direction of the housing 10, the connecting part 41 of the vibration damping bracket 4 is located behind the first cylinder 1 so that the first damping member 91 is located behind the first cylinder 1. This can increase the contact area between the vibration damping bracket 4 and the first cylinder 1, thereby improving the connection strength between the vibration damping bracket 4 and the first cylinder 1.

[0138] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the vibration damping bracket 4 also includes an extension 42 extending along the front-rear direction of the housing 10. The extension 42 is connected to or integrally formed on the rear end face 11. The connecting portion 41 is connected to the extension 42 at an angle and extends toward the side closer to the housing 10. The connecting portion 41 is connected to the first vibration damper 91. By setting the connecting portion 41 to extend toward the side closer to the housing 10, a shorter first vibration damper 91 can be used to connect to the housing 10, which is beneficial for the processing of the first vibration damper 91 and for saving materials.

[0139] Furthermore, by rationally designing the connection angle between the connecting part 41 and the extension part 42, the connection between the connecting part 41 and the first damping member 91 is facilitated. For example, it is easy to realize that the first damping member 91 is connected to the connecting part 41 in its own extension direction. In this way, the first damping member 91 can be subjected to more uniform force, and the part where the connecting part 41 and the first damping member 91 are connected will be less worn.

[0140] The connection between the connecting part 41 and the first damping member 91 can be a rigid direct connection or a hinged connection. In one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the connecting part 41 includes a hinge shaft and two spaced-apart connecting ears 412. The upper end of the first damping member 91 is located between the two connecting ears 412. The hinge shaft passes through the first damping member 91 and is connected to the two connecting ears 412. The connecting part 41 and the first damping member 91 are hinged together by the hinge shaft and the connecting ears 412. During normal operation of the laundry washing equipment 100, the vibration generated by the first drum 1 is transmitted to the first damping member 91 through the connecting part 41 of the damping bracket 4. Since the first damping member 91 and the connecting part 41 are hinged together, the first damping member 91 can swing slightly in multiple directions. Compared with a rigid direct connection, this can prevent the first damping member 91 from being forced to deform and reduce the damping effect.

[0141] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, the connecting part 41 has a connecting surface 413 on the side opposite to the connecting ear 412, and the connecting surface 413 is connected to the rear end face 11 of the first cylinder 1 by a reinforcing member 43. The connection between the connecting part 41 and the rear end face 11 of the first cylinder 1 by the reinforcing member 43 improves the connection strength between the connecting part 41 and the first cylinder 1 without affecting the connection between the connecting part 41 and the first damping member 91.

[0142] This disclosure does not limit the number and position of the reinforcing members 43. In one embodiment of this disclosure, there are multiple reinforcing members 43, including two end reinforcing plates 431 and at least one middle reinforcing plate 432. The two end reinforcing plates 431 are respectively located at the left and right ends of the connecting surface 413, that is, respectively connected to the left and right ends of the connecting surface 413 in the left and right direction of the housing 10. The at least one middle reinforcing plate 432 is located between the two end reinforcing plates 431.

[0143] By providing end reinforcing plates 431 at both ends of the connecting surface 413 and at least one middle reinforcing plate 432 between the two ends, the end reinforcing plates 431, the middle reinforcing plate 432 and the connecting part 41 form a frame structure, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the reinforcing member 43, thereby increasing the connection strength between the vibration damping bracket 4 and the first cylinder 1.

[0144] In some embodiments, the end reinforcing plate 431 has a first surface 4311 connected to the connecting surface 413, and the length of the first surface 4311 is greater than or equal to the length of the connecting surface 413 in the front-rear direction of the housing 10; and / or, the middle reinforcing plate 432 has a second surface 4321 connected to the connecting surface 413, and the length of the second surface 4321 is greater than or equal to the length of the connecting surface 413 in the front-rear direction of the housing 10.

[0145] In the front-rear direction of the housing 10, by setting the length of the first surface 4311 connecting the end reinforcing plate 431 to the connecting surface 413 to be greater than or equal to the length of the connecting surface 413, the contact area between the end reinforcing plate 431 and the connecting surface 413 can be increased, thereby improving the connection strength between the end reinforcing plate 431 and the connecting surface 413, and further improving the connection strength between the vibration damping bracket 4 and the first cylinder 1. Similarly, by setting the length of the second surface 4321 connecting the middle reinforcing plate 432 to the connecting surface 413 to be greater than or equal to the length of the connecting surface 413, the contact area between the middle reinforcing plate 432 and the connecting surface 413 can be increased, which also helps to improve the connection strength between the vibration damping bracket 4 and the first cylinder 1.

[0146] The vibration damping bracket 4 can protrude from the rear end face 11 of the first cylinder 1 by any appropriate distance, and the position where the connecting part 41 is connected to the first vibration damping member 91 can be at any appropriate distance from the rear end face 11 of the first cylinder 1. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0147] As mentioned above, at least one of the first drum 1 and the second drum 2 is provided with the aforementioned vibration damping bracket 4. In the embodiment where both the first drum 1 and the second drum 2 are provided with vibration damping bracket 4, since each vibration damping bracket 4 is located behind the corresponding first drum 1 or second drum 2, it can provide more space for the components located below the two first drums 1 inside the laundry washing equipment 100. This allows the components located below the two first drums 1 to occupy less space in the vertical direction of the cabinet 10, which is beneficial to shortening the overall height of the cabinet 10.

[0148] In addition, the vibration damping bracket 4 of the first drum 1 is connected to the housing 10 through the corresponding first vibration damping member 91, and the vibration damping bracket 4 of the second drum 2 is connected to the housing 10 through the corresponding first vibration damping member 91. The vibration force generated by the first drum 1 and the second drum 2 during operation will be partially absorbed by the first vibration damping member 91, thus reducing the vibration generated by the first drum 1 and the second drum 2, thereby reducing the vibration of the laundry washing equipment 100 during operation.

[0149] In some embodiments, the laundry washing equipment 100 may further include a second vibration damper 92, which is arranged at a distance from the first vibration damper 91 in the front-rear direction of the housing 10. The second vibration damper 92 is connected to the front end of the first drum 1 and the housing 10. The provision of the second vibration damper 92 can further improve the vibration damping effect of the first drum 1, thereby helping to further reduce the vibration of the laundry washing equipment 100 during operation. At the same time, the second vibration damper 92 also provides support for the first drum 1, which also helps to reduce the shaking problem that may occur in the first drum 1 during operation.

[0150] The first damping element 91 and the second damping element 92 can be damping rods. The specific structure and working principle of the damping rods are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0151] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0152] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0153] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
