[0043] In related technologies, uneven distribution of clothing within the drum is a problem during the processing of clothing in garment handling equipment. When the clothing is unevenly distributed within the drum, it creates an eccentric load, causing significant vibration of the outer drum during equipment operation, affecting the stable operation of the equipment, and increasing noise.

[0044] The following is for reference. Figures 1-7 This invention describes a vibration damping component for a garment processing device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0045] The vibration damping component according to this utility model is used in clothing processing equipment 1, such as... Figures 1-3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the vibration damping assembly includes damping rods 14 and stabilizing rods 13. Multiple damping rods 14 are configured, each adapted to connect the cylinder 12 of the garment processing equipment 1 to the base 11. By connecting the damping rods 14 between the cylinder 12 and the base 11 of the garment processing equipment 1, the damping rods 14 not only provide support but also absorb and disperse vibration energy, thereby reducing noise and shaking during equipment operation. Multiple damping rods 14 form a lower support structure for supporting the garment processing equipment 1, achieving a more stable and balanced support effect. The stabilizing rods 13 are fixed to the cylinder 12 of the garment processing equipment 1. By setting the stabilizing rods 13, the stiffness of the support structure can be effectively increased, thereby reducing the vibration generated by the garment processing equipment 1 during operation. The two ends of the stabilizing rods 13 extend to at least two damping rods 14, allowing the stabilizing rods 13 to cooperate and be fixed with the damping rods 14. The vibration energy borne by the stabilizing rods 13 can be directly transferred to the damping rods 14, and the vibration energy is absorbed and dispersed by the damping rods 14.

[0046] The vibration damping assembly also includes a connector 1331 and a groove portion 141. The connector 1331 is disposed on one end of the stabilizer bar 13 and one of the damping bars 14; the groove portion 141 is disposed on the other end of the stabilizer bar 13 and the other of the damping bars 14. A mounting groove 1413 for accommodating the connector 1331 is formed within the groove portion 141, and the connector 1331 is fixedly connected to the groove portion 141. The shape and size of the mounting groove 1413 match the connector 1331, allowing the connector 1331 to be securely accommodated therein, facilitating the connection and disassembly between the groove portion 141 and the connector 1331, improving maintenance convenience. Furthermore, the connection between the connector 1331 and the groove portion 141 achieves a firm fixed connection, further enhancing the structural integrity and vibration energy transmission efficiency between the stabilizer bar 13 and the damping bar 14, and improving vibration damping performance.

[0047] Therefore, according to the vibration damping component of this utility model, by setting the matching connection of the connector 1331 and the groove part 141, not only is the ease of maintenance improved, but the connection structure strength and vibration energy transmission efficiency between the stabilizer bar 13 and the vibration damping bar 14 are also enhanced, thereby improving the vibration damping performance.

[0048] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the vibration damping assembly also includes a buffer 15, which is housed within the mounting groove 1413 and located between the connector 1331 and the groove body 141. By providing the buffer 15 between the groove body 141 and the connector 1331, the flexibility of the structure is further enhanced, and the vibration damping effect under vibration load is significantly improved. During equipment operation, the buffer 15 can absorb and disperse the impact force from between the groove body 141 and the connector 1331, effectively reducing vibration transmission, ensuring a smoother and more reliable connection, and improving the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0049] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 , Figure 5 As shown, the vibration damping assembly also includes a connecting rod 16. A buffer 15 is fitted around the outer periphery of the connecting rod 16 and cooperates with the connecting member 1331 to connect the groove portion 141 to the connecting member 1331. The buffer 15 can fully exert its damping effect between the connecting rod 16 and the connecting member 1331, effectively absorbing and dispersing vibration energy, thereby further improving the stability and durability of the overall structure, and facilitating the connection and disassembly process, improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance. The connecting member 1331 is movably disposed in the groove portion 141. When the stabilizer bar 13 moves under the drive of the cylinder 12, the mobility of the connecting member 1331 allows it to adjust its position with the movement of the stabilizer bar 13, ensuring a stable connection state during dynamic processes, so that the vibration damping bar 14 can stably and effectively absorb vibration.

[0050] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 , Figure 5 As shown, the stabilizer bar 13 has extension sections 133 extending toward the damping bar 14 at both ends. A connector 1331 is provided at the end of each extension section 133, and the connector 1331 is movably disposed within the groove portion 141. By placing the connector 1331 at the end of the extension section 133 and allowing it to move within the groove portion 141, not only is the flexibility between components enhanced, but precise positioning and connection are also facilitated. When the stabilizer bar 13 moves under the drive of the cylinder 12, the mobility of the connector 1331 allows the extension section 133 to adjust its position with the movement of the stabilizer bar 13, ensuring a stable connection during dynamic processes, enabling the damping bar 14 to stably and effectively absorb vibrations.

[0051] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5As shown, the groove portion 141 includes a first plate 1411 and a second plate 1412. The first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412 are respectively disposed on the vibration damping rod 14 and spaced apart from each other, so that the connecting member 1331 can be accommodated between the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412, thereby realizing the mating connection between the connecting member 1331 and the groove portion 141. The first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412 are respectively arranged parallel to the extension direction of the vibration damping rod 14, allowing the connecting member 1331 to slide along the direction of the vibration damping rod 14 into the mounting groove 1413 between the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412 during installation, which facilitates assembly. The mounting groove 1413 for accommodating the connecting member 1331 is defined between the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412. The mounting groove 1413 provides precise positioning and stable support for the connecting member 1331, optimizing the overall assembly efficiency and reliability. The first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412 each have a slotted hole 1414 for receiving the connecting rod 16. When the connecting rod 16 passes through the slotted hole 1414 and the connector 1331, the connecting rod 16, the connector 1331, the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412 are connected together, which is convenient for assembly, has high connection strength, and enhances the reliability and durability of the connection between the connecting rod 16 and the groove portion 141.

[0052] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 , Figure 5 As shown, the connector 1331 is constructed as an annular sleeve disposed at the end of the extension 133. The annular sleeve is embedded in the groove portion 141, and the buffer 15 is housed in the annular sleeve. By constructing the connector 1331 as an annular sleeve, not only is the structural strength of the connector 1331 enhanced, enabling it to withstand greater forces and vibrations, but it also promotes a tight fit between the annular sleeve and the groove portion 141. At the same time, it simplifies the installation process of the buffer 15, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of installation.

[0053] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the buffer member 15 is provided with a through hole 151 for the connector 1331 to pass through, ensuring that the connector 1331 can pass smoothly and accurately through the buffer member 15, achieving effective and reliable connection. Simultaneously, both ends of the buffer member 15 have limiting flanges 152 that abut against the end face of the annular sleeve. The limiting flanges 152 effectively prevent axial movement of the buffer member 15 during use, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection, and further enhancing the contact area between the buffer member 15 and the annular sleeve, thereby improving the overall shock absorption effect and structural durability.

[0054] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5As shown, the groove portion 141 also includes a third plate 1415, which is connected to the same-side edge of the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412. The third plate 1415 not only enhances the overall strength and stability of the groove portion 141, but also provides more flexibility for subsequent assembly and connection. By setting the third plate 1415, when the annular sleeve slides along the direction of the damping rod 14 to the third plate 1415 during installation, it can be supported by the third plate 1415, thereby achieving the positioning of the annular sleeve in the mounting groove 1413. This facilitates the alignment of the mounting hole on the annular sleeve with the strip hole 1414 on the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412, thus simplifying the installation process of the connecting rod 16. After the annular sleeve is accurately positioned, the connecting rod 16 can easily pass through the mounting hole of the annular sleeve and the strip hole 1414 on the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412, forming a stable and reliable connection structure.

[0055] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vibration damping rod 14 includes an outer barrel portion 142, within which a buffer cavity is formed. The buffer cavity accommodates and guides the telescopic movement of the telescopic rod 143. One end of the outer barrel portion 142 is connected to the cylinder 12, thereby supporting and damping the cylinder 12. A groove portion 141 is provided on the outer barrel portion 142 to facilitate the connection between the outer barrel portion 142 and the stabilizing rod 13, thereby enhancing the functionality of the vibration damping rod 14.

[0056] The vibration damping rod 14 also includes a telescopic rod 143, one end of which is movably housed within a buffer cavity, allowing the telescopic rod 143 to extend and retract within the buffer cavity when subjected to external forces, thereby effectively absorbing and dispersing vibration energy. The other end of the telescopic rod 143 is connected to the base 11, enabling the vibration damping rod 14 to be effectively fixed to the base 11 and to withstand forces and vibrations from all directions.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a first reinforcing rib 1421 protruding from the outer surface is formed on the outer barrel portion 142, and second reinforcing ribs 1416 are respectively arranged on the surfaces of the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412 facing away from each other to enhance the structural strength. The first reinforcing rib 1421 on the outer surface of the outer barrel portion 142 can effectively enhance the deformation resistance of the outer barrel portion 142, while the distribution of the second reinforcing ribs 1416 on the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412 further stabilizes the structure of the first plate 1411 and the second plate 1412, so that it can maintain its shape stability when subjected to external forces.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the stabilizer bar 13 is provided with a first connecting section 131 and a second connecting section 132, which are fixed to the cylinder 12 of the garment processing device 1. By fixing the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132 to the cylinder 12 of the garment processing device 1 respectively, the stabilizer bar 13 can constrain the movement of the cylinder 12 and reduce the shaking caused by uneven distribution of garments. Extension sections 133 are formed at both ends of the stabilizer bar 13, and the ends of the extension sections 133 are fixed to the vibration damping bar 14 to increase stability. By fixing the vibration damping bar 14 to the stabilizer bar 13, the vibration damping bar 14 can absorb and disperse vibration energy to reduce the noise and shaking generated by the garment processing device 1 during operation, thereby improving the overall performance of the device and the user experience.

[0059] In the extension direction of the stabilizer bar 13, the distance between the midpoint of the first connecting segment 131 and the midpoint of the second connecting segment 132 is L1, the distance between the midpoint of the first connecting segment 131 and the adjacent extension segment 133 is L2, and the distance between the midpoint of the second connecting segment 132 and the adjacent extension segment 133 is L3. The different positions of the first connecting segment 131 and the second connecting segment 132 will directly affect the constraint effect of the stabilizer bar 13 on the cylinder 12 and the vibration reduction effect.

[0060] When the ratio of (L2+L3) / L1 is small, the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132 are relatively concentrated, which can effectively limit the movement of the cylinder 12. The extension section 133 is more dispersed on both sides, which can absorb and disperse the vibration energy from the cylinder 12, reducing the noise and shaking generated during equipment operation.

[0061] When the ratio of (L2+L3) / L1 is close to 0.5, the distance between the first connecting segment 131 and the second connecting segment 132 and the extension segment 133 is relatively balanced, and the support structure exhibits a wide range of adaptability in response to different loads and vibration conditions.

[0062] When the ratio of (L2+L3) / L1 is close to 1, the first connecting segment 131 and the second connecting segment 132 are relatively dispersed and closer to the extension segment 133, which can provide certain support and constraint.

[0063] According to the present invention, the support structure satisfies: 0 < (L2 + L3) / L1 < 1. The stabilizer bar 13 provides sufficient constraint while also achieving effective vibration reduction through the extension section 133 and the damping bar 14. When the ratio is within this range, the stabilizer bar 13 can both limit the movement of the cylinder 12, reducing swaying caused by uneven clothing distribution, and absorb and disperse vibration energy, reducing noise and swaying during equipment operation. This results in the support structure exhibiting excellent stability and vibration reduction performance in the clothing processing equipment 1, improving the overall performance of the equipment and the user experience.

[0064] Therefore, according to the support structure of the present invention, by limiting the ratio of (L2+L3) / L1 to between 0 and 1, the support structure can effectively constrain the movement of the cylinder 12 while absorbing and dispersing vibration energy through the damping rod 14 connected by the extension section 133, thereby significantly reducing the noise and shaking during equipment operation and improving the overall stability and vibration reduction performance of the equipment.

[0065]

[0066] It should be noted that the above table contains vibration test data of the garment processing equipment according to different embodiments of this utility model. As can be seen from the figure, the ratio of L2+L3 to L1 has a significant impact on the vibration performance of the garment processing equipment. Specifically, the table shows vibration test data under four different ratio configurations: L2+L3=0.25L1, L2+L3=0.5L1, L2+L3=0.75L1, and L2+L3=1.5L1. The table also details the vibration performance of the equipment under various operating conditions based on different eccentric loads and rotational speeds.

[0067] With the configuration of L2+L3=0.25L1, the vibration amplitude of the equipment increases with the increase of eccentric load and rotational speed, but remains at a low level overall.

[0068] When L2+L3=0.5L1, the vibration performance of the equipment under different eccentric loads and speeds is very stable. Test data shows that even under higher loads and speeds, the vibration amplitude of the equipment increases slightly, and the vibration frequency is relatively uniform.

[0069] When the ratio was further adjusted to L2+L3=0.75L1, the vibration characteristics of the equipment began to change. Under low eccentric load and medium speed conditions, the vibration amplitude remained within a relatively controllable range, showing good stability. However, with the increase of eccentric load and further increase of speed, the vibration amplitude increased, indicating that under this ratio configuration, the equipment became more sensitive to high load and high speed.

[0070] The most significant change occurs with the L2+L3=1.5L1 configuration. At this configuration, the vibration amplitude of the equipment is particularly pronounced under both low load and low speed conditions and high load and high speed conditions. Especially under high load conditions, the vibration amplitude increases sharply with the increase in speed, leading to instability in equipment operation and even potential damage to the equipment structure.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the distance between the midpoint of the first connecting segment 131 and the adjacent extension segment 133 is L2, and the distance between the midpoint of the second connecting segment 132 and the adjacent extension segment 133 is L3, satisfying: 0 < L2 + L3 / L1 < 0.5. By further limiting the ratio of (L2 + L3) / L1 to between 0 and 0.5, the first connecting segment 131 and the second connecting segment 132 are relatively more compact, thus providing better constraint on the cylinder 12 and significantly reducing cylinder swaying caused by uneven distribution of clothing. At the same time, the extension segment 133 is more dispersed on both sides compared to the first connecting segment 131 and the second connecting segment 132, and through effective connection with the vibration damping rod 14, it can more effectively absorb and disperse vibration energy from the cylinder, further reducing noise and swaying during equipment operation.

[0072] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, a protruding connecting portion 111 is formed on the base 11, and the connecting portion 111 has a connecting groove 112 that is open away from the base 11. The other end of the telescopic rod 143 is disposed in the connecting groove 112. The connecting groove 112 not only provides a docking position for the telescopic rod 143, but also enhances the connection between the vibration damping rod 14 and the base 11.

[0073] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, a fastener 113 is provided on the base 11. The fastener passes through the connecting part 111 and fixes the other end of the telescopic rod 143 to the base 11. Specifically, the fastener 113 can pass through the connecting groove 112 formed by the connecting part 111 and extend into the other end of the telescopic rod 143 to realize the connection between the other end of the telescopic rod 143 and the connecting part 111, and the connection is firm.

[0074] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the vibration damping assembly also includes a vibration damping element 17, which is respectively sleeved on the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132. The vibration damping element 17 can further improve the vibration damping efficiency of the support structure and ensure the stability of the garment processing equipment 1 during operation. By sleeved the vibration damping element 17 on the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132, the vibration energy transmitted from the cylinder 12 can be effectively absorbed and dispersed, thereby reducing the noise level of the equipment during operation and reducing shaking.

[0075] The vibration damping assembly also includes a fixing plate 18, which is disposed on at least a portion of the outer periphery of the vibration damper 17. The fixing plate 18 is adapted to connect with the cylinder 12, so that the vibration damper 17 can be securely installed in the vibration damping assembly. A mating portion 181 is formed on the fixing plate 18 for accommodating the vibration damper 17. The mating portion 181 fits against at least a portion of the wall surface of the vibration damper 17 to restrict the movement of the vibration damper 17, enhancing the stability of the vibration damper 17 in the vibration damping assembly and enabling it to reliably perform its vibration damping function. Through the connection between the fixing plate 18 and the cylinder 12, the vibration damper 17 is constrained by the fixing plate 18 and the cylinder 12, effectively absorbing and dispersing the vibration generated by the cylinder 12 between the fixing plate 18 and the cylinder 12, reducing noise and vibration during equipment operation.

[0076] Specifically, the vibration damper 1717 can be made of an elastic material, such as rubber or silicone, giving it excellent shock absorption and cushioning performance. When the cylinder 12 vibrates during garment processing, the stabilizer 13 makes soft contact with the cylinder 12 through the vibration damper 1717. The vibration damper 1717 deforms using its material properties, converting the received vibration energy into its own internal energy, thereby significantly reducing the vibration amplitude and frequency. Simultaneously, the vibration damper 1717 is tightly embedded in the limiting groove 121, ensuring a close fit between it and the stabilizer 13 and the cylinder 12, further enhancing the vibration damping effect and improving the overall stability and durability of the equipment.

[0077] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the mating part 181 is constructed as a through hole penetrating the fixing plate 18. At least a portion of the vibration damper 17 passes through the through hole, allowing the vibration damper 17 to be embedded in the vibration damping assembly and forming a tight connection with the fixing plate 18 through the through hole. The partial passage of the vibration damper 17 through the through hole not only enhances its stability but also more efficiently absorbs and disperses the vibration energy from the cylinder 12. The positioning and constraint of the vibration damper 17 through the through hole effectively reduces the shaking phenomenon during equipment operation.

[0078] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the mating part 181 is constructed as a groove provided inside the fixing plate 18, and at least a portion of the vibration damping member 17 is embedded in the groove. After at least a portion of the vibration damping member 17 is embedded in the groove, not only is its secure installation in the vibration damping assembly achieved, but its efficiency in absorbing and dispersing the vibration energy of the cylinder 12 is also significantly improved. Through the fitting and constraint of the groove on the vibration damping member 17, the vibration amplitude during equipment operation is effectively reduced.

[0079] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the damping member 17 and the mating part 181 abut against each other in the extension direction of the stabilizer bar 13, so that the damping member 17 is constrained by the mating part 181 in the extension direction of the stabilizer bar 13, effectively preventing relative movement between the two in the extension direction of the stabilizer bar 13. Through the close contact between the damping member 17 and the mating part 181 in the extension direction of the stabilizer bar 13, the overall stability of the damping assembly is further improved, providing a more reliable damping effect for the equipment.

[0080] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the outer surface of the damper 17 has a radially protruding limiting section 171. The limiting section 171 is embedded in the through hole or groove, and the axial end face of the limiting section 171 abuts against the through hole or groove. This effectively constrains the damper 17 axially through the limiting flange, preventing movement of the damper 17 in the axial direction. The tight axial fit between the limiting flange and the through hole or groove further enhances the overall stability of the damping assembly, providing more reliable damping performance for the equipment.

[0081] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the fixing plate 18 includes a first support 182 and a second support 183. The first support 182 and the second support 183 are respectively connected to the cylinder 12 of the clothing processing equipment 1, thereby realizing the connection between the fixing plate 18 and the cylinder 12, so that the fixing plate 18 and the cylinder 12 cooperate to fix the vibration damping member 17.

[0082] The fixing plate 18 also includes a connecting plate 184, whose two ends are connected to the first support leg 182 and the second support leg 183, respectively, to form a support frame. The connecting plate 184 is arc-shaped and surrounds part of the outer periphery of the damper 17, and a mating part 181 is formed on the connecting plate 184. By constructing the connecting plate 184 as arc-shaped, the connecting plate 184 can partially surround and fit the outer periphery of the damper 17, thereby providing tighter support and further enhancing the connection strength between the fixing plate 18 and the damper 17.

[0083] Through the coordinated action of the first support leg 182, the second support leg 183, and the connecting plate 184, the fixing plate 18 not only provides a stable support foundation for the vibration damper 17, but also ensures a close fit between it and the cylinder 12. This allows the vibration damper 17 to more effectively absorb and disperse the vibration energy from the cylinder 12, thereby significantly reducing the noise level and shaking phenomenon during equipment operation, and providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the garment processing equipment 1.

[0084] It should be noted that the connection between the first leg 182 and the second leg 183 and the cylinder 12 of the garment processing device 1 can take various forms. For example, they can be directly fixed by bolts or screws, wherein the first leg 182 and the second leg 183 are provided with through holes or threaded holes corresponding to the reserved holes on the cylinder 12, and a tight connection can be achieved by tightening the bolts or screws; or welding or riveting techniques can be used to directly fuse or rivet the first leg 182 and the second leg 183 to the metal material of the cylinder 12 to form an integrated structure.

[0085] According to some embodiments of this utility model, a through-hole is formed on the connecting plate 184, and the two axial edges of the limiting hole respectively abut against the vibration damper 17. By providing the limiting hole, the vibration damper 17 is effectively constrained and positioned in the axial direction. Through the direct contact between its two axial edges and the vibration damper 17, the fixing effect of the connecting plate 184 on the vibration damper 17 is further enhanced, which not only improves the stability of the vibration damper 17 installation, but also optimizes its performance during operation.

[0086] The following is for reference. Figures 1-6 Description of the garment processing device 1 according to the present invention.

[0087] like Figures 1-3 , Figure 6 As shown, the garment processing device 1 according to this utility model includes a base 11 and a cylindrical body 12. The cylindrical body 12 is disposed on the base 11 and a garment processing cavity is formed inside the cylindrical body 12. The cylindrical body 12 can hold garments through the garment processing cavity to perform garment processing tasks. The base 11 is responsible for bearing the weight of the cylindrical body 12 and placing it stably on the ground.

[0088] The garment processing equipment 1 also includes a vibration damping component, which is constructed as described in any of the above embodiments. A vibration damping rod 14 is connected to the cylinder 12 and the base 11, allowing the vibration damping rod 14 to effectively absorb and buffer vibrations between the base 11 and the cylinder 12, making the garment processing equipment 1 operate more smoothly and reducing noise. A stabilizing rod 13 is fixed to the cylinder 12 and its end is connected to the vibration damping rod 14, which can increase the rigidity of the vibration damping component and reduce its swaying caused by uneven garment distribution.

[0089] Since the garment processing device 1 according to the present invention includes the vibration damping component in any of the above embodiments, the garment processing device 1 according to the present invention has higher overall stability and vibration damping performance. The garment processing device 1 operates more smoothly, significantly reducing noise and shaking, thereby improving the overall performance of the device and the user experience.

[0090] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the stabilizer bar 13 is provided with at least one connection point, which is fixed to the cylinder 12. The connection point refers to the part where the stabilizer bar 13 and the cylinder 12 are tightly connected, ensuring force transmission and maintaining their relative positions. The stabilizer bar 13 can have one or more connection points. The specific number of stabilizer bars 13 can be determined according to the expected vibration reduction and stability requirements of the garment processing equipment 1. Multiple connection points help to distribute the load more evenly, improving the stability of the cylinder 12.

[0091] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the cylinder 12 is provided with a limiting groove 121 for accommodating the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132. The first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132 are constrained and limited by the limiting groove 121 within the limiting groove 121. By providing the limiting groove 121, not only is the effective connection between the stabilizing rod 13 and the cylinder 12 achieved, but the accuracy and stability of the connection position are also ensured. This allows the stabilizing rod 13 to better constrain the movement of the cylinder 12, reducing the shaking caused by uneven distribution of clothing and achieving stable operation of the clothing processing equipment 1.

[0092] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a protruding boss 122 is formed on the bottom outer peripheral wall of the cylinder 12. The presence of the boss 122 not only enhances the overall structural strength of the cylinder 12, making it more robust and durable when subjected to various forces and pressures generated during operation, but also, by changing the shape of the cylinder 12, makes its outer surface more regular and flat, which is conducive to the formation of the limiting groove 121 and provides convenience for the subsequent assembly and positioning of the stabilizer bar 13. A limiting groove 121 is formed on the boss 122. The limiting groove 121 extends through the boss 122 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the cylinder 12, allowing the stabilizer bar 13 to pass through the limiting groove 121 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the cylinder 12. The first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132 are set in the limiting groove 121, which not only provides positioning and guidance for the installation of the stabilizer bar 13, but also ensures the stability and firmness after connection, thereby improving the stability and safety of the clothing processing equipment 1 during operation.

[0093] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, a protruding step 1211 is formed within the limiting groove 121. The step 1211 is adapted to abut against the vibration damper 17 in the axial direction to limit the movement of the vibration damper 17. Through the axial abutment between the step 1211 and the vibration damper 17, the axial movement of the vibration damper 17 is effectively limited, ensuring it is securely housed within the limiting groove 121, thus guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the vibration damper 17 during equipment operation. The shape and size of the step 1211 ensure a tight and reliable fit with the vibration damper 17, not only improving the stability of the connection between the vibration damper 17 and the cylinder 12, but also further enhancing the smoothness and durability of the entire garment processing equipment 1 during operation.
