Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more specifically, to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] The casing of a garment washing machine protects both the inner and outer drums. The outer drum, acting as a water reservoir, provides washing water to the rotating inner drum. However, the coexistence of the inner and outer drums and the casing limits the size of the inner drum, resulting in a smaller washing capacity. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a garment processing device to solve the problems of small inner drum capacity and complex structure of existing garment processing devices.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0005] A garment processing device, comprising:

[0006] The box is rectangular in shape, and at least one side of the box is an open opening;

[0007] A rotating cylinder, which is housed in the box, is placed horizontally or inclined upwards along the direction from the bottom of the cylinder to the opening of the cylinder;

[0008] The space between the housing and the rotating drum is used to hold washing water.

[0009] The housing of this garment processing device is located outside the rotating drum. It not only serves as a housing to contain and protect the rotating drum, but also functions as an outer drum, holding the washing water between the housing and the rotating drum. This integrated design reduces the number of parts in the garment processing device, simplifies the installation process, and saves space. It increases the capacity of the rotating drum without changing the overall space, meeting users' needs for larger drum diameters.

[0010] Furthermore, the housing has a through hole on the rear wall surface corresponding to the bottom of the rotating cylinder, and the shaft for driving the rotating cylinder to rotate passes through the through hole.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a vibration-damping suspension, which comprises a vibration-damping unit. The rotating shaft passes through the vibration-damping unit and is connected to the rotating cylinder to drive the rotating cylinder to rotate. The vibration-damping unit is elastically and sealingly connected to the housing. Through the elastic sealing connection between the vibration-damping unit and the through-hole of the housing, not only is the connection between the vibration-damping suspension and the housing achieved, but the vibration-damping suspension also buffers and isolates vibrations from the drive device and the rotating cylinder. This allows the vibration-damping suspension to generate a certain amount of vibration and necessary displacement without completely transmitting the force to the housing, thus preventing connection failure. This avoids excessive impact of vibrations generated by the vibration-damping suspension on the housing and reduces the impact on the housing.

[0012] Furthermore, the vibration damping unit is elastically and sealed to the housing via an elastic component, which is made of at least one of rubber, silicone, thermoplastic elastomer, and flexible composite material. The elastic component provides cushioning, effectively performing both sealing and vibration damping functions.

[0013] Furthermore, an extension is provided on the outer periphery of the vibration damping unit. This extension includes a connecting arm and a support arm, and is located on the outer side of the rear wall of the housing. The support and vibration damping suspension work together to support the rotating cylinder. Simultaneously, the vibration generated by the rotating cylinder is transmitted and dispersed to the support through the vibration damping suspension, reducing vibration and noise and improving the user experience. The lower position of the support shifts the force and vibration received from the rotating cylinder downwards, which helps increase the overall stability of the garment processing equipment.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom outer side of the cabinet is provided with support feet to support the cabinet. The support arm is located between the plane of the bottom of the cabinet and the contact surface of the support foot, or the support arm is located inside the plane of the bottom of the cabinet. One end of the connecting arm is connected to the vibration damping unit, and the other end is connected to the support arm. The support feet and the ground provide stable support for the cabinet. As the outer cylinder, the cabinet does not require support and installation by suspension springs or vibration damping components, avoiding the downward movement of the cabinet caused by washing water inside the cabinet during the washing process, which would encroach on the gap between the cabinet and the rotating drum, and preventing the rotating drum from impacting the cabinet.

[0015] Furthermore, the lower side of the support arm is provided with a longitudinal vibration damper to support the rotating cylinder, which can absorb and buffer vibrations from the vertical direction.

[0016] Furthermore, a door assembly is provided at the open opening of the housing. Since the housing and the outer cylinder are combined into one, a door assembly can be provided at the open opening of the housing for opening or closing the rotating cylinder. The front of the housing is entirely open, meaning there is no panel obstructing the rotating cylinder at the open opening, resulting in a large open area. Moreover, when the door assembly is opened, the rotating cylinder is exposed, facilitating disassembly and cleaning of the rotating cylinder.

[0017] Furthermore, a baffle is provided on the inner bottom surface of the cabinet, and the baffle is located on the outer wall of the rotating drum corresponding to the corner of the cabinet; the baffle extends from the open side of the cabinet to the rear wall facing away from the open side, and there is a gap between the baffle and the outer wall of the rotating drum, the gap distance being ≥20mm. The baffle can separate the cabinet and the rotating drum, so that the washing water is located in the space between the baffle and the rotating drum, thereby increasing the water level in the rotating drum with limited water volume, ensuring soaking and thorough washing of clothes.

[0018] Furthermore, the baffle is an arc-shaped surface, which is adapted to the outer wall of the rotating cylinder. The arc-shaped baffle is concave in the direction away from the rotating cylinder, which can increase the distance between the rotating cylinder and the baffle while achieving water conservation, thus reducing the adverse effects of the rotating cylinder on the tank.

[0019] Furthermore, a rear decorative panel is provided on the side of the housing away from the open opening, and a first installation space is formed between the rear decorative panel and the back of the housing. This space is used to shield and accommodate the drive unit and the vibration damping unit, preventing them from being directly exposed.

[0020] Furthermore, a second mounting space is formed on the inner side of the bottom of the housing. When the support is the bottom wall, it serves as a space to accommodate the support arm.

[0021] Furthermore, the first installation space is connected to the second installation space, which facilitates the placement of the entire shock-absorbing suspension within the first and second installation spaces.

[0022] Furthermore, the enclosure includes a main enclosure and two auxiliary enclosures, with the two auxiliary enclosures located on the upper side of the main enclosure. The main enclosure and the two auxiliary enclosures are all cuboid in shape, and the cuboid formed by the two auxiliary enclosures is the same length as the main enclosure.

[0023] Furthermore, the cuboid formed by the two auxiliary boxes is the same width as the main box, which makes the layout of the three boxes reasonable and improves the aesthetics of the clothing processing equipment.

[0024] Furthermore, the housing is integrally die-cast. The die-cast housing is made of metal, which improves its strength and rigidity.

[0025] Compared with existing technologies, the garment processing equipment described in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0026] (1) The cabinet not only serves to house and protect the rotating drum, but also acts as the outer drum, holding the washing water between the cabinet and the rotating drum. The combination of the cabinet and the outer drum reduces the number of parts in the garment processing equipment, simplifies the installation process, and saves space, increasing the capacity of the rotating drum without changing the overall space.

[0027] (2) The vibration generated by the rotating cylinder is transmitted and dispersed to the support through the vibration damping suspension, reducing vibration and noise and improving the user experience.

[0028] (3) The support is positioned low, which can shift the force and vibration of the receiving rotating drum downward, which helps to increase the overall stability of the clothing processing equipment.

[0029] (4) The box is rectangular, which can increase the capacity and allow the various parts of the clothing processing equipment to be arranged reasonably.

[0030] (5) The baffle can separate the box and the rotating drum, so that the washing water is located in the space between the baffle and the rotating drum, thereby increasing the water level in the rotating drum under the premise of limited water volume, ensuring that the clothes are soaked and washed thoroughly.

[0053] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the orientations involved in the following specific embodiments are briefly explained: the directions or positional relationships indicated by "front," "rear," "up," "down," "left," "right," "top," and "bottom" mentioned in the embodiments refer to the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. The term "on..." means directly or indirectly supported by the... element.

[0054] It should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows for mutual communication; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0055] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a garment processing device includes:

[0056] Box 1, wherein box 1 is rectangular and at least one side of box 1 is open;

[0057] Rotating cylinder 2, which is housed in the box 1, is placed horizontally or inclined upward along the direction from the bottom of the cylinder to the opening of the cylinder.

[0058] The space between the housing 1 and the rotating drum 2 is used to hold washing water.

[0059] The housing 1 of this utility model's garment processing equipment is located outside the rotating drum 2. It not only serves as the housing 1 to house and protect the rotating drum 2, but also functions as an outer drum, containing washing water between the housing 1 and the rotating drum 2. Therefore, this utility model's garment processing equipment eliminates the need for an outer drum. The integrated housing 1 and outer drum design reduces the number of components in the garment processing equipment, simplifies the installation process, and saves space. It increases the capacity of the rotating drum 2 without changing the overall space, meeting users' demands for larger drum diameters.

[0060] The rotating drum 2 can be placed horizontally or tilted upwards. Tiltped upwards allows users to retrieve clothes without bending or squatting deeply, and it also concentrates water, enabling the garment processing equipment to soak clothes with relatively less water, thus saving water. The housing 1 has at least one open side for easy installation and housing of the rotating drum 2. Furthermore, the rectangular housing 1 increases space, allowing for a more efficient layout of the garment processing equipment's components.

[0061] The integral molding of the housing 1 improves its overall strength and rigidity, ensuring the service life of the garment processing equipment. It also reduces the use of connecting parts such as screws, rivets, and clips, thus minimizing seams and simplifying the assembly process. Specifically, it can be integrally molded using die casting or injection molding. As a preferred example of this invention, the integral die casting of the housing 1 enhances its overall strength and rigidity, significantly improving the mechanical properties of the housing 1 material, such as yield strength and tensile strength, thereby extending the service life of the garment processing equipment.

[0062] The housing 1 has a through hole on the rear wall surface corresponding to the bottom of the rotating cylinder 2, and the shaft for driving the rotating cylinder 2 to rotate passes through the through hole. The shaft is the core component of the drive device, and the drive device and the rotating cylinder 2 are the main sources of vibration.

[0063] As a preferred example of this utility model, the garment processing equipment further includes a vibration-damping suspension 3, which includes a vibration-damping unit 31. The rotating shaft passes through the vibration-damping unit 31 and is connected to the rotating cylinder 2 to drive the rotating cylinder 2 to rotate. The vibration-damping unit 31 is elastically and sealingly connected to the housing 1. Through the elastic sealing connection between the vibration-damping unit 31 and the through hole of the housing 1, not only can the connection between the vibration-damping suspension 3 and the housing 1 be realized, but the vibration-damping suspension 3 also buffers the vibrations from the driving device and the rotating cylinder 2, allowing the vibration-damping suspension 3 to generate a certain amount of vibration and necessary displacement, without completely transmitting the force to the housing 1 and causing connection failure. This avoids excessive impact of the vibration generated by the vibration-damping suspension 3 on the housing 1 and reduces the impact on the housing 1.

[0064] The vibration damping unit 31 is elastically and sealed to the housing 1 via an elastic component 101, which can dynamically seal the through-hole. The elastic component 101 is made of at least one of rubber, silicone, thermoplastic elastomer, and flexible composite material. The elastic component 101 has a buffering effect and can effectively perform the functions of sealing and vibration damping.

[0065] The vibration damping suspension 3 includes a vibration damping unit 31 and an extension 32 disposed on the outer periphery of the vibration damping unit 31. The rotating cylinder 2 is supported on a support via the vibration damping suspension 3, and the support is disposed on the lower side of the housing 1. The support and the vibration damping suspension 3 work together to support the rotating cylinder 2. At the same time, the vibration generated by the rotating cylinder 2 is transmitted and dispersed to the support through the vibration damping suspension 3, reducing vibration and noise and improving the user experience. The lower position of the support can shift the force and vibration received by the rotating cylinder 2 downward, which helps to increase the overall stability of the clothing processing equipment.

[0066] The side opposite the front opening of the housing 1 is the rear wall. The vibration damping unit 31 increases the overall area of ​​the vibration damping suspension 3, better receiving loads and vibrations, and serves as the mounting point for the extension 32. The vibration damping unit 31 first integrates the generated vibrations, and then transmits and disperses them through the extension 32, resulting in better vibration damping. The elastic sealing connection through the elastic component 101 not only dynamically seals the through hole to prevent water leakage, but also connects the relatively stationary housing 1 and the vibrating vibration damping suspension 3, solving the problem of simultaneously achieving sealing and vibration damping.

[0067] As a preferred example of this utility model, the bearing seat 6 of the drive device passes through the center of the elastic member 101 and connects to the damping unit 31, thereby realizing the connection between the damping suspension 3 and the drive device. The damping unit 31 and the bearing seat 6 are either separate or integrally connected.

[0068] The extension 32 is L-shaped and located on the outer side of the rear wall of the housing 1. It includes a connecting arm 321 and a supporting arm 322. One end of the connecting arm 321 is connected to the vibration damping unit 31, and the other end extends towards the front of the housing 1 to form the supporting arm 322. The L-shaped design facilitates guiding the connecting arm 321 to the front of the housing 1 to form the supporting arm 322, making the layout of the vibration damping suspension 3 more reasonable and saving space in the garment processing equipment. At the same time, the L-shaped extension 32 helps to improve the strength of the vibration damping suspension 3, better buffer and support the rotating cylinder 2, and transmit and disperse the load and vibration received along the connecting arm 321 and the supporting arm 322 located in different directions, thereby improving the vibration damping effect.

[0069] Multiple extensions 32 are provided to better support and dampen vibrations of the rotating cylinder 2. As a preferred example of this application, the extensions 32 are located on the lower left and lower right sides of the rotating cylinder 2, providing better support and damping from different directions, avoiding localized stress, and facilitating vibration dispersion. To ensure the balance and smooth operation of the rotating cylinder 2, the extensions 32 located on the lower left and lower right sides are symmetrically arranged.

[0070] The support arm 322 is connected to the support via the longitudinal damper 5. The longitudinal damper 5 stably supports the damping suspension 3 and ultimately supports and buffers the rotating cylinder 2. The damping suspension 3 transmits the load and vibration received to the support via the longitudinal damper 5, therefore the support needs to have high support strength.

[0071] The support is the bottom wall 12 and / or the base 102 of the housing 1.

[0072] As a preferred example of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, the support is the bottom wall 12 of the housing 1. Since the bottom wall 12 is the lower side wall of the housing 1, the force and vibration received from the rotating drum 2 are shifted downwards, making the clothing processing equipment operate more smoothly. To ensure the supporting strength of the bottom wall 12, reinforcing ribs are provided on the bottom wall 12 and / or the wall thickness of the bottom wall 12 is increased. The wall thickness of the bottom wall 12 can be determined according to the capacity of the rotating drum 2 and the material of the housing 1. The support arm 322 is located inside the plane where the bottom of the housing 1 is located.

[0073] Furthermore, the housing 1 is integrally die-cast. The housing 1 formed by integral die-casting is mostly made of metal materials such as cast aluminum and cast iron. This not only allows for the die-casting of a metal housing 1, which improves the strength of the bottom wall 12 from the material itself, but also allows for the die-casting of a bottom wall 12 with a larger wall thickness.

[0074] As another preferred example of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figures 5-6As shown, the support is a base 102, which is located on the lower outer side of the housing 1. The base 102 is in contact with the ground, which not only shifts the force and vibration received from the rotating cylinder 2 downward, improving operational stability, but also ensures that the base 102 and the housing 1 are independent of each other, reducing the impact of force and vibration on the housing 1 and extending its lifespan. The support arm 322 is located between the plane of the bottom of the housing 1 and the contact surface of the support leg 10.

[0075] When the support is a base 102, an outer decorative panel is provided around the outer perimeter of the base 102 to cover the base 102 and improve its aesthetics. The outer decorative panel is provided with a drain outlet for the drainage pipe of the clothing processing equipment to pass through.

[0076] The bottom outer side of the housing 1 is provided with support legs 10, which are connected to the ground. The support legs 10 and the ground provide stable support for the housing 1. As the outer cylinder, the housing 1 does not require support or installation by suspension springs or vibration damping components, thus preventing the housing 1 from shifting downwards due to washing water inside during the washing process, which would encroach on the gap between the housing 1 and the rotating drum 2, and prevent the rotating drum 2 from impacting the housing 1.

[0077] As a preferred example of this utility model, the elastic component 101 includes, from front to back, a first elastic pad, a pleated area, and a second elastic pad. One end of the pleated area is connected to the first elastic pad, and the other end is connected to the second elastic pad. The first elastic pad is connected to the through hole, and the second elastic pad is connected to the front end face of the damping unit 31. The pleated area is located in the gap formed between the damping unit 31 and the rear wall surface. The first elastic pad dynamically seals the through hole, the second elastic pad 43 connects the elastic component 101 and the damping suspension 3, and the pleated area ensures that the elastic component 101 has a buffer space, thus better fulfilling its sealing and damping functions. That is, in the front-rear direction, the rear wall surface of the housing 1 and the damping unit 31 are sealed and connected by the elastic component 101.

[0078] In another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the elastic member 101 is annular in shape. The inner side of the annular elastic member 101 is sealed to the vibration damping unit 31, and the outer side of the annular elastic member 101 is sealed to the housing 1. That is, in the vertical direction, the rear wall of the housing 1 and the vibration damping unit 31 are sealed together by the elastic member 101.

[0079] A door assembly 4 is provided at the open opening of the housing 1. Since the housing 1 and the outer cylinder are combined into one, the door assembly 4 can be provided at the open opening of the housing 1 for opening or closing the rotating cylinder 2. The front of the housing 1 is entirely open, meaning there is no panel obstructing the rotating cylinder 2 at the open opening, resulting in a large open area. Furthermore, when the door assembly 4 of the housing 1 is opened, the rotating cylinder 2 can be exposed, facilitating disassembly and cleaning of the rotating cylinder 2.

[0080] Because the housing 1 is integrally molded, the connecting part of the door assembly 4 can be integrally formed at the same time as the housing 1 is manufactured, which facilitates quick and convenient assembly of the housing 1 and the door assembly 4, reducing the need for connecting parts such as screws, rivets, and clips. Specifically, the connecting part of the door assembly 4 is a hinge.

[0081] Furthermore, the box body 1 can be formed by one-piece die casting. The die-cast box body 1 is made of metal, which can improve strength and rigidity, thereby better supporting and installing the door component 4.

[0082] The door assembly 4 includes a door body 41 and a glass bowl 42. The door body 41 is provided with a door hook, and the inner wall of the box 1 is provided with a door lock. The door hook and the door lock cooperate with each other.

[0083] Because the cabinet 1 is rectangular, while this increases capacity, it inevitably requires a large amount of washing water to maintain the water level in the rotating drum 2. In addition to tilting the rotating drum 2 upwards, this invention also provides a baffle 13 on the inner bottom surface of the cabinet 1. The baffle 13 is positioned on the outer wall of the rotating drum 2 corresponding to the corner of the cabinet 1, i.e., between the outer wall of the rotating drum 2 and the inner bottom surface of the cabinet 1. The baffle 13 separates the cabinet 1 and the rotating drum 2, ensuring the washing water is contained within the space between the baffle 13 and the rotating drum 2. This raises the water level in the rotating drum 2 with a limited water volume, ensuring thorough soaking and washing of the clothes.

[0084] The baffle 13 extends from the open side of the housing 1 to the rear wall facing away from the open side. The baffle 13 is spaced from the outer wall of the rotating drum 2, with a gap of ≥20mm. That is, when the garment processing equipment is in normal use, the baffle 13 extends along the front-to-back direction, with its front and rear ends located at the front and rear ends of the housing 1, respectively, to further reduce the space between the housing 1 and the rotating drum 2, thus reducing the amount of washing water used. To prevent water leakage from the baffle 13, the rear side of the baffle 13 is connected to the rear wall of the housing 1. The ≥20mm gap ensures that the rotating drum 2 will not collide with the baffle 13 during operation.

[0085] The baffle 13 has no extended enclosure in the direction of the rotating cylinder 2, which allows the rotating cylinder 2 to be exposed in the large-diameter opening formed by the baffle 13, making it easy to disassemble and clean the rotating cylinder 2.

[0086] Considering that the water level for washing is mainly concentrated on the lower side of the tank 1, the baffle 13 is provided at least on the lower side of the inner wall of the tank 1.

[0087] As a preferred example of this utility model, four baffles 13 are formed and located at the four corners of the inner wall of the housing 1, which not only saves water better but also prevents washing water from entering between the baffles 13 and the housing 1. The housing 1 and the baffles 13 are integrally formed, which simplifies the installation process and improves the connection stability between the two.

[0088] The baffle 13 has an arc-shaped surface, and the arc-shaped surface of the baffle 13 is adapted to the outer side wall of the rotating cylinder 2. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the curved baffle 13 is concave in the direction away from the rotating cylinder 2, which can increase the distance between the rotating cylinder 2 and the baffle 13 while achieving water saving, and reduce the adverse effects of the rotating cylinder 2 on the tank 1.

[0089] To make efficient use of the space inside the housing 1, there is a storage space between the baffle 13 and the inner wall of the housing 1. This not only saves raw materials but also allows for the placement of electrical components, water pipes, and other parts. A front decorative panel is provided on the front side of the storage space to cover the storage space and the parts located inside it.

[0090] As a preferred example of this utility model, when the support is the bottom wall 12, one end of the support arm 322 is connected to the connecting arm 321 on the rear side of the rear wall, and the other end passes through the receiving space and extends to the front side of the box 1, the receiving space being able to allow the support arm 322 to pass through. At this time, the support arm 322 is located between the box 1 and the baffle 13, and the support arm 322 is connected to the bottom wall 12 through the longitudinal vibration damping member 5.

[0091] In another preferred embodiment of this utility model, when the support is a base 102, one end of the support arm 322 is connected to the connecting arm 321 on the rear side of the rear wall, and the other end is on the outside of the housing 1 and extends to the front side of the housing 1. At this time, the support arm 322 is located on the outside of the housing 1, and the support arm 322 is connected to the base 102 through the longitudinal vibration damping member 5.

[0092] The longitudinal damping component 5, connected to the support arm 322, is longitudinally positioned to absorb and buffer vibrations from the vertical direction. The transverse damping component, connected to the damping unit 31, is transversely positioned to absorb and buffer vibrations from the horizontal direction, reducing the swaying of the garment processing equipment in different directions and making the operation more stable. The support serves to receive loads and vibrations, providing stable support and vibration dispersion for the rotating drum 2. In this invention, "longitudinal" refers to the vertical direction when the garment processing equipment is normally in use, and "transverse" refers to the front-to-back direction when the garment processing equipment is normally in use.

[0093] The inner wall of the baffle 13 fits against the outer edge of the glass bowl 42, and the glass bowl 42 extends into the rotating drum 2. The glass bowl 42 seals the opening formed by the baffle 13, ensuring that the clothes inside the rotating drum 2 will not fall out and the washing water will not flow out when the clothing processing equipment is running normally.

[0094] As a preferred example of this utility model, a groove is formed on the front side of the open opening of the housing 1, and a first sealing element is disposed within the groove. A second sealing element is disposed on the inner front wall of the baffle 13. When the door assembly 4 is in the closed state, the housing 1 and the door 41 are sealed by the first sealing element, and the outer periphery of the glass bowl 42 and the baffle 13 are sealed by the second sealing element. The first and second sealing elements can form a double seal to prevent water from flowing out of the housing 1 when the door assembly 4 is closed. Both the first and second sealing elements are elastic sealing elements.

[0095] The box 1, formed by die casting, has a certain wall thickness, which facilitates the formation of a groove on the front side of the open opening.

[0096] Specifically, when the door assembly 4 is closed, the door body 41 presses against the first seal, and the outer periphery of the glass bowl 42 presses against the second seal, forming a good seal at the opening of the box body 1.

[0097] A rear decorative panel is provided on the side of the housing 1 away from the open opening. A first installation space is formed between the rear decorative panel and the back of the housing 1 to cover and accommodate the drive device and the vibration damping unit 31, preventing the drive device and the vibration damping unit 31 from being directly exposed to the outside.

[0098] A second space is formed on the inner side of the bottom of the housing 1, which provides a space for the support arm 322 when the support is the bottom wall 12. The first installation space and the second installation space are connected, which facilitates the placement of the entire shock-absorbing suspension 3 within the first installation space and the second installation space.

[0099] The diameter of the rotating cylinder 2 is 220~560mm, and there is a gap between the outer periphery of the rotating cylinder 2 and the inner wall of the box 1.

[0100] As a preferred example of this utility model, the garment processing equipment includes multiple integrally formed boxes 1, each of which is rectangular in shape, and each box 1 is connected to at least one adjacent box 1. The rectangular shape of the multiple boxes 1 not only facilitates integral molding, but also facilitates the compact structure and reasonable layout of the multiple boxes 1.

[0101] Each enclosure 1 is provided with a corresponding door assembly 4, and any door assembly 4 can be opened or closed individually. Alternatively, multiple enclosures 1 can share a single door assembly 4, where when the door assembly 4 is open, all enclosures 1 are open, and when the door assembly 4 is closed, all enclosures 1 are closed.

[0102] Each housing 1 is provided with a corresponding rotating cylinder 2. As a preferred example of this utility model, each rotating cylinder 2 is connected to a support (not shown in the figure) through an extension 32 of a vibration damping suspension 3, so that each rotating cylinder 2 independently corresponds to a vibration damping suspension 3, and each vibration damping suspension 3 receives and transmits the load and vibration from the corresponding rotating cylinder 2 and distributes them.

[0103] In the case where each rotating cylinder 2 independently corresponds to a vibration damping suspension 3, each rotating cylinder 2 is connected to the bottom wall 12 of the corresponding housing 1 through the extension 32 of the vibration damping suspension 3. Alternatively, the rotating cylinder 2 located at the lower position is connected to the base 102 through the corresponding extension 32, and the rotating cylinder 2 located at the upper position is connected to the bottom wall 12 of the corresponding housing 1 through the corresponding extension 32, so as to avoid the extension 32 of the rotating cylinder 2 located at the upper position being too long.

[0104] As another preferred embodiment of this utility model, at least some of the rotating cylinders 2 are connected to the supports via extensions 32, while the remaining rotating cylinders 2 are connected to the vibration damping units 31 corresponding to adjacent rotating cylinders 2 via connecting frames 33. That is, only some of the rotating cylinders 2 require connection between the corresponding vibration damping suspensions 3 and supports. Multiple vibration damping suspensions 3 are connected as a whole via connecting frames 33. When any rotating cylinder 2 vibrates, the vibration is transmitted and distributed through the overall vibration damping suspension 3, suppressing asymmetrical and uncoordinated vibrations, thus improving the dynamic stability of the garment processing equipment and achieving better vibration damping. The multiple vibration damping suspensions 3 can be integrally die-cast, with the connecting frame 33 and the vibration damping unit 31 being integrally die-cast, increasing the rigidity of the vibration damping suspension 3 and better performing its vibration damping function. Simultaneously, integral die-casting makes the connection a uniformly transitional rigid whole, allowing all stress to be smoothly dispersed and transmitted throughout the structure, greatly improving the durability and fatigue resistance of the vibration damping suspension 3, enabling it to withstand more demanding workloads.

[0105] like Figures 5-7As shown, the garment processing equipment includes a main box 7 and two auxiliary boxes. The two auxiliary boxes include a first box 8 and a second box 9. The two auxiliary boxes are located on the upper side of the main box 7. The main box 7 and the two auxiliary boxes are all cuboid in shape. The cuboid formed by the two auxiliary boxes is the same length as the main box 7 and the same width as the main box 7. This arrangement of the three boxes is reasonable and improves the aesthetics of the garment processing equipment.

[0106] Specifically, the first box 8 is connected to the upper left side of the main box 7, and the second box 9 is connected to the upper right side of the main box 7. The main box 7, the first box 8, and the second box 9 are in the shape of a cuboid. The main box 7 is equipped with a main rotating cylinder, the first box 8 is equipped with a first rotating cylinder, and the second box 9 is equipped with a second rotating cylinder.

[0107] The diameter of the main rotating cylinder is 510~570mm, and the vertical distance between the main rotating cylinder and the main housing 7 is 6~19mm, and the horizontal distance is 18~22mm. Further, the diameter of the main rotating cylinder is 520mm, and the distance between it and the top of the main housing 7 is 8mm, the distance below it is 18mm, and the horizontal distance is 20mm.

[0108] The diameters of the first and second rotating cylinders are 210-260 mm. The vertical distance between the first rotating cylinder and the first housing 8 is 5-13 mm, and the horizontal distance is 8-12 mm. The vertical distance between the second rotating cylinder and the second housing 9 is 5-8 mm, and the horizontal distance is 8-12 mm. Alternatively, the diameters of the first and second rotating cylinders can be 230 mm. The vertical distance between the first rotating cylinder and the first housing 8 is 6 mm, the horizontal distance is 12 mm, and the horizontal distance is 10 mm. The second rotating cylinder is similar to the first rotating cylinder and will not be described further.

[0109] Because the main rotating drum is larger in size and generates greater amplitude during operation, it requires more space between itself and the main housing 7 compared to the first and second rotating drums. The presence of washing water causes the rotating drum 2 to sink, therefore the distance between the housing 1 and the rotating drum 2 at the bottom needs to be appropriately increased.

[0110] like Figure 2 and Figures 5-6As shown, the extension 32 corresponding to the main rotating cylinder is connected to the base 102 via the longitudinal damping member 5. The connecting frame 33 corresponding to the first rotating cylinder is connected to the damping unit 31 corresponding to the main rotating cylinder, and the connecting frame 33 corresponding to the second rotating cylinder is connected to the damping unit 31 corresponding to the main rotating cylinder. The damping suspensions 3 corresponding to the three rotating cylinders form a whole, and the vibration generated by any rotating cylinder 2 can be transmitted and dispersed through multiple damping suspensions 3, thereby improving the damping effect.

[0111] like Figure 7 As shown, the extension 32 corresponding to the main rotating cylinder is connected to the bottom wall 12 of the main housing 7 via the longitudinal damping member 5. The connecting frame 33 corresponding to the first rotating cylinder is connected to the damping unit 31 corresponding to the main rotating cylinder, and the connecting frame 33 corresponding to the second rotating cylinder is connected to the damping unit 31 corresponding to the main rotating cylinder.

[0112] The garment processing equipment of this utility model also includes conventional components of garment processing equipment, such as a feeding section, a drainage section, and a water inlet section. Since these are all existing technologies, they will not be described in detail here. The garment processing equipment of this utility model can be a washing machine, a dryer, a washer-dryer combo, etc.

[0113] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various alterations and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
