Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Clothing processing equipment is a common household appliance that brings great convenience to users' daily lives. However, in existing clothing processing equipment, the vibrations generated by the rotating drum are transmitted to the outer drum during operation, causing impacts on the outer drum. In severe cases, this can even lead to the outer drum colliding with the main unit, affecting the lifespan of the clothing processing equipment and the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a garment processing device to solve the problem that the rotating drum in the prior art is prone to interfering with and affecting the receiving cavity during operation, resulting in poor vibration reduction performance of the garment processing device.

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

[0005] A garment processing device, characterized in that it comprises:

[0006] An integrally formed receiving cavity for accommodating the rotating drum of the garment processing equipment;

[0007] The depth of the receiving cavity is greater than the depth of the rotating cylinder;

[0008] A vibration-damping suspension, the vibration-damping suspension including a vibration-damping unit, the vibration-damping unit being elastically connected to the receiving cavity;

[0009] The drive device includes a drive rod that passes through the damping unit and connects to the rotating cylinder to drive the rotating cylinder to rotate. During operation, the rotating cylinder and drive device transmit vibrations to the damping suspension. The damping suspension receives and isolates the forces and vibrations from the rotating cylinder and drive device, reducing the impact of the rotating cylinder on the housing and preventing the housing from impacting the housing body. Therefore, the distance between the housing and the housing body can be appropriately reduced. The flexible connection between the damping suspension and the housing not only connects the two but also buffers the vibrations received by the damping suspension, allowing it to generate certain vibrations and necessary displacements without completely transmitting the force to the housing, thus preventing connection failure and avoiding the impact of vibrations from the damping suspension on the housing, reducing the impact on the housing.

[0010] Furthermore, the receiving cavity has an open opening on one side, which corresponds to the opening of the rotating cylinder; the receiving cavity has a through hole on the side opposite to the open opening, which corresponds to the bottom of the rotating cylinder; the vibration damping unit is sealed to the receiving cavity to prevent washing water from overflowing from the connection between the vibration damping unit and the receiving cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, the vibration damping unit is connected to the receiving cavity on the outer periphery of the through hole. This avoids interference with the rotating cylinder and facilitates the rational layout of the vibration damping suspension based on the size of the rotating cylinder and its operating conditions.

[0012] Furthermore, the vibration damping unit and the receiving cavity are sealed together by an elastic component. The elastic component is annular, with the inner side of the annular component sealed to the vibration damping unit and the outer side of the annular component sealed to the receiving cavity.

[0013] Furthermore, the vibration damping unit and the receiving cavity are sealed together by an elastic component. The front side of the elastic component is sealed to the receiving cavity, and the rear side of the elastic component is sealed to the vibration damping unit. The elastic component acts as a flexible connection, not only dynamically sealing the through hole to prevent water leakage, but also connecting the relatively stationary receiving cavity and the vibrating vibration damping suspension, thus solving the problem of simultaneously achieving both sealing and vibration damping.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer side of the elastic component's annulus is sealed to the inner side of the through-hole of the receiving cavity, allowing the vibration damping unit to be placed within the through-hole. This maximizes the placement of the vibration damping unit, contributing to the compact structure of the garment processing equipment.

[0015] Furthermore, the elastic component is made of a flexible material, which includes at least one of rubber, silicone, thermoplastic elastomer, and flexible composite material.

[0016] Furthermore, an extension is provided on the outer periphery of the vibration damping unit. The extension includes a connecting arm and a supporting arm. One end of the connecting arm is connected to the vibration damping unit, and the other end extends outward from the outside of the receiving cavity toward the front of the receiving cavity to form the supporting arm. The supporting arm is located below the horizontal plane where the rotation center of the rotating drum is located. Because the supporting arm is located below the horizontal plane where the rotation center of the rotating drum is located, the force on the rotating drum can be better shifted downward, improving the stability of the garment processing equipment.

[0017] Furthermore, the support arm is connected to the housing or frame of the garment processing equipment via longitudinal vibration dampers. The loads and vibrations from the rotating drum are ultimately transmitted to the housing or frame. And because the housing or frame is positioned in multiple directions within the garment processing equipment, it can better accommodate longitudinal vibration dampers located in different directions.

[0018] Furthermore, there are two support arms, each of which includes at least two longitudinal damping elements, which better serve the functions of buffering, damping, and support.

[0019] Furthermore, the accommodating cavity has two parts, including a main accommodating cavity and a secondary accommodating cavity, and the number of accommodating cavities can be reasonably set according to market demand.

[0020] Furthermore, the main receiving cavity corresponds to the main damping suspension, the secondary receiving cavity corresponds to the secondary damping suspension, and the main damping suspension and the secondary damping suspension are integrally die-cast.

[0021] Furthermore, there are two secondary receiving cavities, the diameter of which is smaller than that of the main receiving cavity, and the two secondary receiving cavities are located above the main receiving cavity.

[0022] Furthermore, the secondary receiving cavity includes a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity, the main receiving cavity corresponds to the main damping suspension, the first receiving cavity corresponds to the first damping suspension, and the second receiving cavity corresponds to the second damping suspension.

[0023] Furthermore, the main damping suspension, the first damping suspension, and the second damping suspension are integrally die-cast.

[0024] Furthermore, the vibration-damping suspension has an extension, and each rotating cylinder is connected to the housing or frame of the garment processing equipment through the extension. The vibration-damping suspensions corresponding to the three rotating cylinders form a whole, and the vibration generated by any rotating cylinder can be transmitted and dispersed through multiple vibration-damping suspensions, thereby improving the vibration reduction effect. Alternatively, at least some of the rotating cylinders are connected to the housing or frame of the garment processing equipment through the extension, and the remaining rotating cylinders are connected to the vibration-damping units corresponding to adjacent rotating cylinders through connecting frames. Considering that the main rotating cylinder has a high usage frequency and is the main source of vibration, and that the first and second rotating cylinders have smaller cylinder bodies and generate smaller vibrations, the vibration-damping suspensions corresponding to the three rotating cylinders are set independently.

[0025] Furthermore, the extension is connected to the vibration damping unit and is located outside the corresponding receiving cavity.

[0026] Furthermore, the extension is located below the horizontal plane where the rotation center of the corresponding rotating cylinder is located.

[0027] Furthermore, the extension includes a connecting arm and a supporting arm. One end of the connecting arm is connected to the vibration damping unit, and the other end extends outward from the outside of the receiving cavity toward the front of the receiving cavity to form the supporting arm. A longitudinal vibration damping member is provided below the supporting arm. The longitudinal vibration damping member is connected to the housing or frame of the clothing processing equipment to support the vibration damping suspension.

[0028] Furthermore, the connecting arm, the vibration damping unit, and the support arm are integrally die-cast.

[0029] Furthermore, the vibration damping unit is provided with a lateral vibration damping component on the side opposite to the rotating cylinder, and the lateral vibration damping component is connected to the housing or frame of the clothing processing equipment.

[0030] Compared with existing technologies, the garment processing equipment described in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0031] (1) The vibration damping suspension is used to support and buffer the rotating cylinder. Therefore, when the rotating cylinder is running, it will transmit the vibration and force to the vibration damping suspension instead of the receiving cavity, so that the receiving cavity is not affected by the rotating cylinder and also avoids the receiving cavity from hitting the box.

[0032] (2) Through the sealing soft connection of the elastic component, not only can the connection between the shock-absorbing suspension and the cavity be realized, but also the vibration received by the shock-absorbing suspension can be buffered, allowing the shock-absorbing suspension to generate a certain vibration and necessary displacement, without completely transmitting the force to the cavity and causing connection failure, thus avoiding the vibration generated by the shock-absorbing suspension from affecting the cavity and reducing the impact on the cavity.

[0033] (3) Each rotating cylinder corresponds independently to a vibration damping suspension. Each vibration damping suspension receives and transmits the load and vibration from the corresponding rotating cylinder and distributes them. Alternatively, multiple vibration damping suspensions can be connected into a whole through a connecting frame. When any rotating cylinder vibrates, it will be transmitted and distributed through the whole vibration damping suspension, which can suppress asymmetrical and uncoordinated vibrations, improve the dynamic stability of the garment processing equipment, and achieve better vibration damping effect.

[0043] 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.

[0044] like Figures 4-5 As shown, a garment processing device includes:

[0045] An integrally formed receiving cavity 1 is used to receive the rotating drum 2 of the garment processing equipment;

[0046] The depth of the receiving cavity 1 is greater than the depth of the rotating drum 2, so as to better accommodate the rotating drum 2 and prevent the washing water from overflowing;

[0047] The vibration damping suspension 3 includes a vibration damping unit 31, which is elastically connected to the receiving cavity 1.

[0048] The driving device includes a driving rod, which passes through the vibration damping unit 31 and is connected to the rotating cylinder 2 to drive the rotating cylinder 2 to rotate.

[0049] When the rotating cylinder 2 and the drive device are operating, they transmit vibrations to the damping suspension 3. The damping suspension 3 receives and isolates the forces and vibrations from the rotating cylinder 2 and the drive device, reducing the impact of the rotating cylinder 2 on the receiving cavity 1 and preventing the receiving cavity 1 from impacting the housing. Therefore, the distance between the receiving cavity 1 and the housing can be appropriately reduced. Through the elastic connection between the damping suspension 3 and the receiving cavity 1, not only can the connection between the damping suspension 3 and the receiving cavity 1 be realized, but the vibrations received by the damping suspension 3 are also buffered. The damping suspension 3 is allowed to generate a certain amount of vibration and necessary displacement, without completely transmitting the force to the receiving cavity 1, which would cause the connection to fail. This prevents the vibrations generated by the damping suspension 3 from affecting the receiving cavity 1 and reduces the impact on the receiving cavity 1.

[0050] The receiving cavity 1 has an open opening on one side, which corresponds to the opening of the rotating cylinder 2; the receiving cavity 1 has a through hole on the side opposite to the open opening, i.e., the rear wall 11 of the receiving cavity 1, which corresponds to the bottom of the rotating cylinder 2; the vibration damping unit 31 is sealed to the receiving cavity 1 to prevent washing water from overflowing from the connection between the vibration damping unit 31 and the receiving cavity 1.

[0051] Since the rotating cylinder 2 is arranged inside the cavity 1, in order to avoid interference with the rotating cylinder 2 and to facilitate the reasonable layout of the vibration damping suspension 3 according to the size of the rotating cylinder 2 and the operating conditions, the vibration damping unit 31 and the cavity 1 are connected to the outer periphery of the through hole.

[0052] As a preferred example of this application, the vibration damping unit 31 and the receiving cavity 1 are sealed together by an elastic member 4. The elastic member 4 is annular, with its inner side sealed to the vibration damping unit 31 and its outer side sealed to the receiving cavity 1. That is, in the vertical direction, the rear wall 11 of the receiving cavity 1 and the vibration damping unit 31 are sealed together by the elastic member 4.

[0053] The outer side of the ring of the elastic component 4 is sealed to the inner side of the through hole of the receiving cavity 1, so that the vibration damping unit 31 is placed in the through hole, which can maximize the layout of the vibration damping unit 31 and is beneficial to the structural compactness of the clothing processing equipment.

[0054] As another preferred example of this application, such as Figures 4 to 5As shown, the vibration damping unit 31 is sealed to the receiving cavity 1 via an elastic member 4. The front side of the elastic member 4 is sealed to the receiving cavity 1, and the rear side of the elastic member 4 is sealed to the vibration damping unit 31. That is, in the front-rear direction, the rear wall surface 11 of the receiving cavity 1 and the vibration damping unit 31 are sealed to each other via the elastic member 4. Specifically, the elastic member 4 includes, from front to back, a first elastic pad 41, a pleated area 42, and a second elastic pad 43. One end of the pleated area 42 is connected to the first elastic pad 41, and the other end is connected to the second elastic pad 43. The first elastic pad 41 is connected to the mounting hole, and the second elastic pad 43 is connected to the front end face of the vibration damping unit 31. The pleated area 42 is located in the gap formed between the vibration damping unit 31 and the rear wall surface 11. The first elastic pad 41 is used to dynamically seal the mounting hole, and the second elastic pad 43 is used to connect the elastic component 4 and the shock-absorbing suspension 3. The pleated area 42 is used to ensure that the elastic component 4 has a buffer space, and can better play the role of sealing and shock absorption, thus ensuring the normal operation of the rotating cylinder 2 and the drive device.

[0055] The elastic component 4 can act as a flexible connection, which can not only dynamically seal the through hole to prevent water from leaking out, but also connect the relatively stationary receiving cavity 1 and the vibrating damping suspension 3, thus solving the problem that sealing and damping are difficult to achieve at the same time.

[0056] The elastic component 4 described in this application is made of a flexible material, which includes at least one of rubber, silicone, thermoplastic elastomer, and flexible composite material.

[0057] The rotating cylinder 2 is connected to the support via the vibration damping suspension 3. The rear wall surface 11 is provided with a through hole for the drive rod to pass through. The drive device is connected to the vibration damping suspension 3. The drive device operates to drive the rotating cylinder 2 to rotate. The drive device, as a power source, is directly connected to the vibration damping suspension 3, which can better transmit and disperse vibrations along the vibration damping suspension 3 to the support.

[0058] Since the rotating cylinder 2 is connected to the support through the damping suspension 3, the support and the damping suspension 3 work together to support the rotating cylinder 2, rather than supporting the rotating cylinder 2 through the receiving cavity 1. Therefore, the interference of the rotating cylinder 2 to the receiving cavity 1 can be reduced.

[0059] The receiving cavity 1 and the box body are integrally formed, with the box body positioning and supporting the receiving cavity 1. The receiving cavity 1 and the box body are integrally die-cast or injection-molded, thereby improving the connection strength and stability between them. Furthermore, the receiving cavity 1 and the box body are integrally die-cast. The die-cast box body is made of metal, which improves strength and rigidity, and the die-cast connection of the receiving cavity 1 and the box body significantly improves the material mechanical properties at the connection point, such as yield strength and tensile strength.

[0060] The receiving cavity 1 does not require support or installation via suspension springs or vibration damping components, preventing the receiving cavity 1 from shifting downwards due to washing water inside during the washing process, thus avoiding encroachment on the gap between the receiving cavity 1 and the rotating drum 2. The rotating drum 2 is supported and damped by vibration damping suspension 3 and supports, which can shift the force on the rotating drum 2 downwards, thus increasing the overall stability of the garment processing equipment.

[0061] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a reinforcing member is formed between the outer periphery of the receiving cavity 1 and the inner side of the outer periphery plate of the box. The reinforcing member is integrally formed with the receiving cavity 1, which can improve the overall strength and rigidity of the garment processing equipment and enhance the connection stability of the receiving cavity 1.

[0062] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the vibration-damping suspension 3 includes an extension 32 disposed around the periphery of the vibration-damping unit 31. The vibration-damping unit 31 increases the overall area of ​​the vibration-damping suspension 3, thus better receiving loads and vibrations, and the vibration-damping unit 31 can serve as the mounting point for the extension 32. The vibration-damping unit 31 facilitates the initial integration of generated vibrations, which are then transmitted and dispersed through the extension 32, resulting in better vibration damping.

[0063] Specifically, the bearing housing 6 of the drive device passes through the center of the elastic component 4 and connects to the damping unit 31, thereby connecting the damping suspension 3 and the drive device. The damping unit 31 and the bearing housing 6 can be connected separately or as a single unit.

[0064] The extension 32 is L-shaped and 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 outward from the outside of the receiving cavity 1 toward the front of the receiving cavity 1 to form the supporting arm 322. The supporting arm 322 is located below the horizontal plane where the rotation center of the rotating cylinder 2 is located. The L-shaped design facilitates guiding the connecting arm 321 to the outside of the receiving cavity 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. Since the supporting arm 322 is located below the horizontal plane where the rotation center of the rotating cylinder 2 is located, it can better shift the force on the rotating cylinder 2 downward, improving the stability of the garment processing equipment.

[0065] 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 receiving cavity 1, 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.

[0066] The support arm 322 is connected to the support via the longitudinal damper 5. The longitudinal damper 5 provides stable support for the damping suspension 3 and ultimately supports and buffers the rotating cylinder 2 and the drive device. 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.

[0067] The support is the housing or frame 10 of the garment processing equipment, which ultimately transmits the load and vibration from the rotating drum 2 to the housing or frame 10. Furthermore, since the housing or frame 10 is positioned in multiple directions of the garment processing equipment, it can better accommodate longitudinal vibration damping components 5 located in different directions.

[0068] The extension 32 is located on the lower left and lower right sides of the receiving cavity 1. Correspondingly, two support arms 322 are also provided. Each support arm 322 includes at least two longitudinal damping members 5, which better play the role of buffering, damping and supporting.

[0069] Except for the support arm 322, which is connected to the support via the longitudinal damping member 5, the vibration damping unit 31 is connected to the support via the transverse damping member. For example... Figures 2-4 As shown, the longitudinal vibration damper 5, connected to the support arm 322, is longitudinally arranged to absorb and buffer vibrations from the vertical direction. The longitudinal vibration damper 5, connected to the vibration damping unit 31, is transversely arranged to absorb and buffer vibrations from the horizontal direction, reducing the swaying of the garment processing equipment in different directions and making its operation more stable. 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.

[0070] As a preferred example of this utility model, the garment processing equipment includes multiple integrally formed receiving cavities 1. These cavities 1 are integrally die-cast or injection-molded, and each receiving cavity 1 has a corresponding rotating cylinder 2 disposed inside. Each receiving cavity 1 is connected to at least one of the other receiving cavities 1. The integral forming of the multiple receiving cavities 1 not only reduces the use of connecting parts such as screws and rivets, simplifying the assembly process, but also helps to improve the overall strength of the receiving cavities 1, reduce deformation, and increase service life compared to a split structure.

[0071] For a garment processing device with multiple receiving cavities 1, each rotating drum 2 is connected to a support via an extension 32 of a vibration damping suspension 3, so that each rotating drum 2 independently corresponds to a vibration damping suspension 3. Each vibration damping suspension 3 receives and transmits the load and vibration from the corresponding rotating drum 2 and distributes the transmission. Alternatively, at least some rotating drums 2 are connected to supports via extensions 32, and the remaining rotating drums 2 are connected to vibration damping units 31 corresponding to adjacent rotating drums 2 via connecting frames 33. By connecting multiple vibration damping suspensions 3 into a whole via connecting frames 33, when any rotating drum 2 vibrates, it will be transmitted and distributed through the overall vibration damping suspension 3, which can suppress asymmetrical and uncoordinated vibrations, improve the dynamic stability of the garment processing device, and achieve better vibration damping effect.

[0072] Specifically, the receiving cavity 1 can be provided in two forms, including a main receiving cavity 7 and a secondary receiving cavity. The main receiving cavity 7 corresponds to the main damping suspension, and the secondary receiving cavity corresponds to the secondary damping suspension. The main damping suspension and the secondary damping suspension are integrally die-cast, improving stiffness and enhancing vibration damping effect. Simultaneously, the integral die-casting makes the connection a uniformly transitional rigid whole, allowing all stresses to be smoothly distributed and transmitted throughout the structure, greatly improving the durability and fatigue resistance of the damping suspension 3, enabling it to withstand more demanding workloads.

[0073] Furthermore, there are two secondary accommodating cavities, the diameter of which is smaller than that of the main accommodating cavity 7, and the two secondary accommodating cavities are located above the main accommodating cavity 7.

[0074] like Figure 1 As shown, the secondary receiving cavity 1 includes a first receiving cavity 8 and a second receiving cavity 9. The first receiving cavity 8 is connected to the upper left side of the main receiving cavity 7, and the second receiving cavity 9 is connected to the upper right side of the main receiving cavity 7. A main rotating drum is disposed inside the main receiving cavity 7, a first rotating drum is disposed inside the first receiving cavity 8, and a second rotating drum is disposed inside the second receiving cavity 9. This layout allows for the rational arrangement of multiple receiving cavities 1, fully utilizing the space of the garment processing equipment and providing users with the option of zoned washing.

[0075] The main receiving cavity 7 corresponds to the main damping suspension, the first receiving cavity 8 corresponds to the first damping suspension, and the second receiving cavity 9 corresponds to the second damping suspension.

[0076] In the case of multiple receiving cavities 1, the extension 32 is connected to the vibration damping unit 31 and is located outside the corresponding receiving cavity 1, and below the horizontal plane where the rotation center of the rotating cylinder 2 is located. The extension 32 includes a connecting arm 321 and a support arm 322. One end of the connecting arm 321 is connected to the vibration damping unit 31, and the other end extends outward from the outside of the receiving cavity 1 toward the front of the receiving cavity 1 to form the support arm 322. A longitudinal vibration damping member 5 is provided below the support arm 322. The longitudinal vibration damping member 5 is connected to the housing or frame 10 of the clothing processing equipment to support the vibration damping suspension 3.

[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, the extension 32 corresponding to the main rotating cylinder is connected to the support 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 2 form a whole. The vibration generated by any rotating cylinder 2 can be transmitted and dispersed through multiple damping suspensions 3, thereby improving the damping effect. At the same time, since multiple damping suspensions 3 form a whole, the first and second rotating cylinders only need to be equipped with damping units 31 and connecting frames 33, without the need for extensions 32. The main rotating cylinder still needs to be equipped with damping units 31 and extensions 32. The extensions 32 are connected to the support, and the vibrations and forces received from the multiple rotating cylinders 2 are transmitted and dispersed through the support.

[0078] As a preferred example of this application, for Figure 2 Multiple rotating cylinders 2 are integrally die-cast, and the connecting frame 33 and the shock-absorbing suspension 3 are also integrally die-cast, so that the shock-absorbing suspension 3 corresponding to the three rotating cylinders 2 form a whole.

[0079] like Figure 3 As shown, the extension 32 corresponding to the main rotating cylinder is connected to the support via a longitudinal damping member 5. The extension 32 corresponding to the first rotating cylinder is also connected to the support via a longitudinal damping member 5, and the extension 32 corresponding to the second rotating cylinder is also connected to the support via a longitudinal damping member 5. Considering that the main rotating cylinder has a high usage frequency and is the main source of vibration, and that the first and second rotating cylinders are relatively small and generate relatively small vibrations, the vibration damping suspensions 3 corresponding to the three rotating cylinders are set independently to avoid the main vibration damping suspension affecting the secondary vibration damping suspension. The vibrations generated by the first and second rotating cylinders can be reduced by their corresponding vibration damping suspensions 3 alone, without needing to be connected to the vibration damping suspension 3 of the main rotating cylinder as a whole.

[0080] The vibration damping unit 31 of the first rotating cylinder and the vibration damping unit 31 of the second rotating cylinder are connected by a connecting frame 33, so that the vibration damping suspension 3 of the first rotating cylinder and the vibration damping suspension 3 of the second rotating cylinder are connected together to form a whole. If either the first rotating cylinder or the second rotating cylinder vibrates, the vibration damping suspension 3 corresponding to the two rotating cylinders can play a vibration damping role, without the need for the vibration damping suspension 3 of the main rotating cylinder to participate.

[0081] As a preferred example of this application, for Figure 3 Each rotating cylinder 2 corresponds to a shock-absorbing suspension 3 integrally die-cast. For any shock-absorbing suspension 3, the connecting arm 321, the support arm 322, and the shock-absorbing unit 31 are integrally die-cast.

[0082] 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.

[0083] 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.
