[0033] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] The shock absorption components of existing garment processing equipment suffer from poor shock absorption performance and structural instability, resulting in poor overall reliability and stability, and consequently shortening the service life of the garment processing equipment.

[0036] To solve the above technical problems, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the applicant proposes a garment processing device, which includes a shock-absorbing suspension and a cylinder assembly, wherein the cylinder assembly includes a rotating cylinder 11 and a water-holding cylinder 12.

[0037] The shock-absorbing suspension includes a shock-absorbing unit 20, on which a receiving area 2101 is formed. The receiving area 2101 is used to fix the bearing of the drive shaft 10, and the drive shaft 10 drives the rotating cylinder 11 to rotate.

[0038] The garment processing equipment described in this embodiment has a bearing housing area 2101 formed on the shock absorption unit 20 for fixing the drive shaft 10, which deeply integrates the bearing housing function with the shock absorption function. This not only effectively reduces vibration transmission and provides a more effective shock absorption effect, but also enhances the stability of the structure.

[0039] Furthermore, the water-holding cylinder 12 is disposed on the outside of the rotating cylinder 11, and the water-holding cylinder 12 and the rotating cylinder 11 are concentrically arranged.

[0040] Specifically, a bearing limiting part 2102 is formed on the inner sidewall of the receiving area 2101.

[0041] The bearing limiting part 2102 is used to support and limit the bearing installed inside the receiving area 2101.

[0042] Specifically, a bearing positioning structure 2103 is formed on the inner wall of the receiving area 2101.

[0043] The bearing positioning structure 2103 facilitates quick bearing installation.

[0044] Specifically, the damping unit 20 includes a damping disc 21, the diameter of which is greater than 100mm and less than 300mm.

[0045] More specifically, the diameter of the shock-absorbing disc 21 is 200mm.

[0046] Specifically, the shock-absorbing unit 20 is elastically connected to the water-filled cylinder 12.

[0047] Specifically, the shock-absorbing unit 20 is connected to the water-holding cylinder 12 through an elastic component 5. The elastic component 5 is ring-shaped, with the inner side of the ring of the elastic component 5 sealed to the shock-absorbing unit 20 and the outer side of the ring of the elastic component 5 sealed to the water-holding cylinder 12.

[0048] This design has the following advantages:

[0049] 1. Effectively prevent liquid leakage: This double sealing structure can form a reliable sealing barrier to prevent the liquid in the water tank 12 from leaking into the external environment through the through hole 120, thus avoiding pollution to the surrounding environment and ensuring the safe operation of the equipment.

[0050] II. Improve the structural stability of the entire equipment: The elastic component 5 can play a role in buffering and fixing, tightly connecting the water tank 12 and the shock absorption unit 20 together to form a stable overall structure. During the operation of the equipment, it can effectively reduce the relative displacement and loosening between the components and improve the structural stability of the entire equipment.

[0051] III. Improve the vibration damping effect of the equipment: The elastic component 5, as the connecting medium between the water tank 12 and the vibration damping unit 20, can optimize the vibration damping path. When the water tank vibrates, the vibration energy is first transmitted to the elastic component 5. The elastic component 5 buffers and attenuates the vibration energy through its own elastic deformation, and then transmits the remaining energy to the vibration damping unit 20. This graded vibration damping method can more effectively reduce the impact of vibration on other parts of the equipment and improve the vibration damping effect of the equipment.

[0052] Specifically, the shock-absorbing unit 20 is connected to the water-filled cylinder 12 through an elastic member 5. The rear side of the elastic member 5 is sealed to the shock-absorbing unit 20, and the front side of the elastic member 5 is sealed to the water-filled cylinder 12.

[0053] This design has the following advantages:

[0054] 1. Effectively prevent liquid leakage: This double sealing structure can form a reliable sealing barrier to prevent the liquid in the water tank 12 from leaking into the external environment through the through hole 120, thus avoiding pollution to the surrounding environment and ensuring the safe operation of the equipment.

[0055] II. Improve the structural stability of the entire equipment: The elastic component 5 can play a role in buffering and fixing, tightly connecting the water tank 12 and the shock absorption unit 20 together to form a stable overall structure. During the operation of the equipment, it can effectively reduce the relative displacement and loosening between the components and improve the structural stability of the entire equipment.

[0056] III. Improve the vibration damping effect of the equipment: The elastic component 5, as the connecting medium between the water tank 12 and the vibration damping unit 20, can optimize the vibration damping path. When the water tank vibrates, the vibration energy is first transmitted to the elastic component 5. The elastic component 5 buffers and attenuates the vibration energy through its own elastic deformation, and then transmits the remaining energy to the vibration damping unit 20. This graded vibration damping method can more effectively reduce the impact of vibration on other parts of the equipment and improve the vibration damping effect of the equipment.

[0057] As a preferred example of this utility model, the elastic component 5 is made of a flexible material, which includes at least one of rubber, silicone, thermoplastic elastomer and flexible composite material.

[0058] In this embodiment, the flexible material includes rubber. The elastic component 5 is a rubber hose.

[0059] Specifically, a horizontal shock absorber 4 is installed on the rear side of the shock absorption unit 20, and the horizontal shock absorber 4 is connected to the housing 6 or frame of the clothing processing equipment.

[0060] The horizontal shock absorber 4 is specifically designed to absorb horizontal (front-back and left-right) swaying, which is especially important for multi-cylinder equipment as it can prevent interference between cylinders.

[0061] Specifically, the shock-absorbing suspension includes a support portion 22, which is connected to the shock-absorbing unit 20.

[0062] Specifically, the shock-absorbing suspension includes a support portion 22, which is integrally die-cast with the shock-absorbing unit 20. This configuration further improves the material mechanical properties of the shock-absorbing suspension, including at least one of yield strength, tensile strength, elongation after fracture, and bending angle.

[0063] Specifically, a longitudinal shock absorber 3 is provided on the lower side of the support part 22. The longitudinal shock absorber 3 is connected to the housing 6 or frame of the clothing processing equipment to support the shock-absorbing suspension.

[0064] The longitudinal damper 3 is specifically designed to absorb vertical vibrations and provide final support to ensure overall machine stability.

[0065] Specifically, there are two support parts 22, which are symmetrically arranged below the shock-absorbing suspension; each support part 22 is equipped with two longitudinal shock absorbers 3 at intervals on its lower side.

[0066] Specifically, a fixing structure 2104 is formed on the outer side of the receiving area 2101, and the fixing structure 2104 is used to fix the stator 8.

[0067] This design facilitates the secure installation of stator 8.

[0068] Specifically, a fixing protrusion 2105 is formed on the outer side of the receiving area 2101, and a plurality of fixing structures 2104 are uniformly formed on the outer side of the fixing protrusion 2105.

[0069] This setting improves the balance stability of the fixed stator 8.

[0070] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a drive shaft 10 is installed at the center of the rotating cylinder 11, and a receiving area 2101 is integrally die-cast at the center of the shock-absorbing disc 21.

[0071] This further improves the material mechanical properties of the receiving region 2101, which include at least one of yield strength, tensile strength, elongation after fracture, and bending angle.

[0072] A motor housing 13 is installed at the rear end of the drive shaft 10, and a rotor 9 is installed inside the motor housing 13. The drive shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the shock absorber 21. The rotor 9 rotates under the drive of the stator 8 and can drive the rotating cylinder 11 to rotate relative to the shock absorber 21.

[0073] The bearing housing is integrally molded onto the damping disc 21, which not only reduces the number of parts and simplifies assembly, but more importantly, ensures the coaxiality and positional accuracy between these key components, which is crucial for the smooth operation of the motor and the reduction of noise and wear.

[0074] Specifically, the water-holding cylinder 12 is integrally formed.

[0075] This design not only simplifies the preparation and installation process but also enhances the overall structural strength of the water tank 12.

[0076] Specifically, the water-holding cylinder 12 is integrally injection molded or integrally die-cast.

[0077] Preferably, the water container 12 is integrally die-cast using metal material.

[0078] This setup not only simplifies the preparation and installation process, but also further improves the material mechanical properties of the water-holding cylinder 12, which include at least one of yield strength, tensile strength, elongation after fracture, and bending angle.

[0079] Furthermore, the number of cylinder assemblies is not specifically limited. Each cylinder assembly includes a rotating cylinder 11 and a water-holding cylinder 12; each water-holding cylinder 12 corresponds to one shock-absorbing unit 20.

[0080] In this embodiment, there is one cylinder assembly and one shock absorption unit 20.

[0081] The elastic component 5, damping disc 21, transverse damper 4, and longitudinal damper 3 of this application are interconnected, forming a multi-level, multi-directional composite vibration damping system: the elastic component 5 and damping disc 21 handle the core vibration from the rotation of the drum; the transverse damper 4 specifically absorbs horizontal (front-back, left-right) swaying, which is especially important for multi-cylinder equipment, preventing mutual interference between cylinders; the longitudinal damper 3 specifically absorbs vertical jumping and provides final support, ensuring the stability of the entire machine; it plays multiple roles: 1. High-efficiency vibration damping: the vibration energy is filtered layer by layer during transmission, and the vibration ultimately transmitted to the housing 6 is negligible, improving operational stability; 2. Extreme noise reduction: effectively blocks the structural transmission of vibration from the water tank 12 to the entire housing 6, isolating noise at its source, making the equipment operate more quietly; 3. Reliable sealing: simplifies the sealing structure, reduces the risk of leakage due to relative displacement of components under complex vibration conditions, and improves the reliability of the seal.

[0082] The garment processing equipment includes other related components in addition to the structure described above. Since the specific structure and assembly relationship of these related components are existing technologies, they will not be described in detail here.

[0083] Example 2

[0084] In this embodiment, unlike in embodiment 1, the garment processing device has two cylinder assemblies and two shock absorption units 20.

[0085] The two cylinder assemblies include: a first cylinder assembly 101 and a second cylinder assembly 102; the first cylinder assembly 101 includes a first rotating cylinder 111 and a first water-holding cylinder, the diameter of the first rotating cylinder 111 being 510~570mm; the second cylinder assembly 102 includes a second rotating cylinder 112 and a second water-holding cylinder, the diameter of the second rotating cylinder 112 being 210~290mm.

[0086] Preferably, the diameter of the first rotating cylinder 111 is 510~560mm, and the diameter of the second rotating cylinder 112 is 220~270mm.

[0087] In this embodiment, the diameter of the first rotating cylinder 111 is 560 mm, and the diameter of the second rotating cylinder 112 is 260 mm.

[0088] Specifically, the two damping units 20 are a first damping unit 201 and a second damping unit 202. The first damping unit 201 includes a first damping disc 211, and the second damping unit 202 includes a second damping disc 212.

[0089] The diameter of the first damping disc 211 is 290mm, and the diameter of the second damping disc 212 is 180mm.

[0090] Preferably, the two damping units 20 are integrally formed on the damping suspension.

[0091] The two damping units 20 are integrally formed on the damping suspension, meaning that all suspension points are fixed to a unified, rigid structure. When one cylinder assembly vibrates, the force it generates is rapidly transmitted and distributed to the entire system through this integrated damping component, forcing all cylinder assemblies to "move in tandem." This greatly suppresses asymmetrical and uncoordinated vibrations, improving the overall dynamic stability of the machine from the source, thereby achieving better damping performance and significantly reducing structural noise caused by severe vibrations.

[0092] Specifically, a connecting arm 14 is integrally formed between the two shock-absorbing units 20.

[0093] A connecting arm 14 is integrally formed between the second damping plate 212 and the first damping plate 211.

[0094] This configuration connects the second damping disc 212 and the first damping disc 211 into a unified, high-rigidity overall frame, further enhancing the rigidity and stability of the entire damping system within the housing 6. It eliminates the "island effect," preventing the second damping disc 212 and the first damping disc 211 from operating independently; the entire damping assembly works together to resist vibrations from the different rotating drums 11, ensuring the overall stability and structural integrity of the two-drum washing machine.

[0095] Example 3

[0096] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, unlike Embodiment 2, the garment processing device has three cylinder components and three shock-absorbing units 20, with each water-holding cylinder 12 corresponding to one shock-absorbing unit 20; the three shock-absorbing units 20 are integrally formed on the shock-absorbing suspension.

[0097] There are two second cylinder assemblies 102, which are arranged side by side above the first cylinder assembly 101 and symmetrically arranged above the first cylinder assembly 101.

[0098] This design makes the force distribution of the entire damping system more balanced, further optimizing the vibration control effect and demonstrating excellent mechanical design concepts.

[0099] The shock-absorbing suspension includes three shock-absorbing units 20 and two support parts 22, and the three shock-absorbing units 20 and the two support parts 22 are integrally die-cast.

[0100] This configuration further improves the material mechanical properties of the shock absorber suspension, which include at least one of yield strength, tensile strength, elongation after fracture, and bending angle.

[0101] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations 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.
