Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing processing equipment, and more specifically, to a housing assembly for clothing processing equipment and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In existing garment processing equipment, the drum assembly operates at high rotational speeds during spin-drying. With increasing user demand for zoned washing, the drum assembly may even need to connect multiple drums, leading to insufficient structural rigidity.

[0003] Due to insufficient rigidity of the cabinet structure, coupled with the varying weights and shapes of the clothes placed inside the drum, resonance occurs when the drum rotates at high speed for dehydration, resulting in impacts and abnormal noises. This can affect the normal operation, safety, and lifespan of the clothing processing equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a housing assembly and a clothing processing device to solve the problems of insufficient housing rigidity and easy resonance in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows: A housing assembly for a garment processing device includes at least one integrally die-cast receiving cavity for accommodating a washing drum of the garment processing device. The depth of the receiving cavity is greater than the depth of the washing drum. The receiving cavity, integrally connected to the housing, improves the overall rigidity and strength of the housing, thereby contributing to the increase of the housing's natural frequency. This keeps the housing's natural frequency away from the natural frequency of the washing drum's high-speed rotation during spin-drying, preventing resonance and reducing excessive vibration and noise caused by insufficient housing strength. This ensures the normal operation of the garment processing device and enhances the user experience.

[0006] Furthermore, the rear end of the receiving cavity is integrally formed with a rear cover plate, which has a motor mounting hole and an integrally formed front opening. The motor mounting hole is directly die-cast during the die-casting process, facilitating motor installation and simplifying the assembly process. The front opening is used for installing the washing drum.

[0007] Furthermore, a connector is formed between the outer periphery of the receiving cavity and the inner side of the outer periphery plate of the box. The connector includes a first connecting portion that fits against the inner side of the box, a second connecting portion that fits against the outer side of the receiving cavity, and a first non-contact portion. The connector not only better connects the receiving cavity to the box, but also replaces the counterweight to balance the enormous centrifugal force generated when the washing drum of the receiving cavity rotates at high speed. The connector can transmit stress, preventing deformation of the box caused by stress concentration.

[0008] Furthermore, the first non-contact part is arc-shaped. The arc-shaped first non-contact part can gradually disperse stress along the arc-shaped surface, reducing stress concentration and deformation of the box.

[0009] Furthermore, the connector is positioned opposite to the connected receiving cavity. This provides better support for the receiving cavity, balances the centrifugal force generated during operation, and allows stress and vibration to be transmitted and dispersed in different directions, reducing stress concentration, thereby improving stiffness and strength, increasing the natural frequency of the housing assembly, and reducing vibration and noise by transmitting vibration in different directions.

[0010] Furthermore, multiple receiving cavities are provided, each integrally connected to the housing body, and a support member is formed between adjacent receiving cavities. The support member is integrally connected to the receiving cavity, with one side connected to one of the adjacent receiving cavities and the other side connected to the other. Besides further connecting and positioning the receiving cavities, the support member also improves the overall rigidity and strength of the housing body, thereby increasing the natural frequency of the housing body and preventing resonance caused by high-speed rotation of the receiving cavities. The support member can also replace the function of a counterweight, balancing the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the washing drum within the receiving cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, the receiving cavity includes a main receiving cavity, a first small receiving cavity, and a second small receiving cavity. The first small receiving cavity is located on the upper left side of the main receiving cavity, and the second small receiving cavity is located on the upper right side of the main receiving cavity. By rationally arranging the three receiving cavities, the space of the housing assembly is fully utilized, facilitating user-defined partitioning.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the main receiving cavity is 550-560 mm, and the outer diameters of the first and second small receiving cavities are 150-180 mm. The die-cast receiving cavities have increased size, which is beneficial for accommodating more clothes and improving the efficiency of dehydration and spin-drying.

[0013] Furthermore, connectors are formed at the left, right, and lower ends of the main receiving cavity, and connectors are formed at the upper ends of the first and second small receiving cavities. These connectors enhance the connection strength and stability between the receiving cavities and the housing, thereby improving the rigidity and strength of the housing assembly.

[0014] Furthermore, a support member is formed between the first and second small receiving cavities. Support members are also formed at the lower end of the first small receiving cavity and the upper end of the main receiving cavity, and at the lower end of the second small receiving cavity and the upper end of the main receiving cavity. This layout ensures stable operation of the three receiving cavities and optimizes vibration reduction, noise reduction, and the layout of the housing components.

[0015] Furthermore, both the connectors and supports are of a structure that is thicker at both ends and thinner in the middle. The thicker structure at both ends increases the contact area with the housing and / or the cavity, thus better transmitting and distributing forces and vibrations. The thinner structure in the middle increases the internal space of the housing, allowing for the avoidance of other components, and provides more space for other components without changing the overall size of the housing.

[0016] Furthermore, the top of the receiving cavity has an integrally formed water inlet channel, and the bottom has an integrally formed drainage channel.

[0017] The present invention also proposes a garment processing device, which includes the aforementioned housing assembly.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the housing assembly and garment processing equipment of the garment processing device described in this invention have the following advantages: (1) The containment cavity connected to the box body can improve the overall rigidity and strength of the box body, thereby helping to increase the natural frequency of the box body, so that the natural frequency of the box body is far away from the natural frequency of the high-speed rotation of the containment cavity during dehydration, so as to avoid resonance, and reduce the problem of excessive vibration and noise caused by insufficient strength of the box body, ensuring the normal operation of the clothing processing equipment and improving the user experience.

[0019] (2) The connector can not only better connect the receiving cavity to the box, but also replace the counterweight to balance the huge centrifugal force generated when the washing drum of the receiving cavity rotates at high speed. There is no need to set up the suspension spring, vibration damping and counterweight at the same time, so that there is more space in the box to place the drying module, the feeding module, the receiving cavity, and increase the capacity of the receiving cavity.

[0020] (3) The connectors and supports work together to enhance the structural continuity between the enclosure and each cavity, forming a continuous force path, dispersing stress, suppressing deformation, and increasing the strength and stiffness of the cavities, thereby raising the natural frequency. Moreover, the stress on the enclosure is dispersed along multiple directions of the connectors and supports, avoiding stress concentration, reducing deformation, and making the enclosure more stable during operation. In addition, the connectors and supports are conducive to reflecting sound waves, causing the sound waves to undergo multiple reflections within the enclosure, thus consuming sound wave energy and weakening the propagation of noise.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] It should be noted that, in the description of this invention, 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 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 invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a housing assembly for a garment processing device is provided. The housing 1 of the housing assembly is integrally die-cast with at least one receiving cavity 2. The receiving cavity 2 is used to receive the washing drum of the garment processing device, and the depth of the receiving cavity 2 is greater than the depth of the washing drum.

[0026] The receiving cavity 2, which is integrally connected to the cabinet 1, can improve the overall rigidity and strength of the cabinet 1, thereby helping to raise the natural frequency of the cabinet 1. This keeps the natural frequency of the cabinet 1 away from the natural frequency of the washing drum during high-speed rotation, thus avoiding resonance and reducing the problem of excessive vibration and noise caused by insufficient strength of the cabinet 1. This ensures the normal operation of the clothing processing equipment and improves the user experience.

[0027] The enclosure assembly of this application is integrally formed using a die-casting process. Die-casting reduces defects such as porosity and shrinkage in the enclosure assembly, resulting in uniform stiffness and thus ensuring the stability of the natural frequency. Specifically, cast aluminum can be used for die casting. Aluminum has good tensile strength and heat dissipation properties, making it suitable as a material for enclosure assemblies. Specifically, the cast aluminum material is selected from aluminum alloys.

[0028] The housing assembly of this application is integrally die-cast using die-casting equipment, in which molten metal is injected into a mold, and high pressure is applied to the molten metal using the inner cavity of the mold.

[0029] The rear end of the receiving cavity 2 is integrally formed with a rear cover plate, which has a motor mounting hole 8 and an integrally formed front opening. The motor mounting hole 8 is directly die-cast during the die-casting process to facilitate motor installation and simplify the assembly process. The front opening is used for installing the washing drum.

[0030] The receiving cavity 2 is integrally formed. In the prior art, the receiving cavity 2 is an outer cylinder including a front outer cylinder and a rear outer cylinder, and the front and rear outer cylinders are set separately. Therefore, it is necessary to seal and connect the front and rear outer cylinders. At the sealing connection between the two, the diameter of the outer cylinder is larger, which makes the separate outer cylinder easy to collide with the box body 1. The integrally formed receiving cavity 2 of this application can avoid the largest cylinder diameter in the middle of the receiving cavity 2, and there is no need to consider the sealing performance of the front and rear outer cylinders.

[0031] As a preferred example of this application, a connector 3 is formed between the outer periphery of the receiving cavity 2 and the inner side of the outer peripheral plate of the box body 1. In this application, the number and distribution of the connectors 3 are not specifically limited; it is only necessary to ensure that the inner side of the box body 1 has sufficient space while guaranteeing the normal operation of the garment processing equipment. To further prevent resonance between the box body 1 and the receiving cavity 2 during high-speed dehydration, and to better provide stable support for the receiving cavity 2, the connectors 3 are respectively provided on the side plates 6 of the box body 1 in different directions.

[0032] The connector 3 includes a first connecting part 31 that fits against the inner side of the housing 1, a second connecting part 32 that fits against the outer side of the receiving cavity 2, and a first non-contact part 33. The first non-contact part 33 does not contact the housing 1 or the receiving cavity 2, and the first non-contact part 33 and the inner side of the housing 1 form a first cavity 4.

[0033] The connector 3 not only better connects the receiving cavity 2 to the housing 1, but also replaces the counterweight to balance the huge centrifugal force generated when the washing drum in the receiving cavity 2 rotates at high speed. The connector 3 can transmit stress, preventing deformation of the housing 1 caused by stress concentration. In the prior art, to ensure the normal operation of clothing processing equipment, the suspension spring, vibration damper, and counterweight are all essential vibration damping systems. These three parts occupy a large amount of layout space in the clothing processing equipment, restricting the installation of the drying module, dispensing module, and drum. For manufacturers of clothing processing equipment, at least these three components need to be purchased, and mounting parts need to be installed on the housing 1 and / or receiving cavity 2 to connect the vibration damping system. By setting the connector 3, it is unnecessary to simultaneously install the suspension spring, vibration damper, and counterweight, allowing more space inside the housing 1 to place the drying module, dispensing module, and receiving cavity 2, and increasing the capacity of the receiving cavity 2. Specifically, the housing assembly of this application can at least eliminate the need for the counterweight.

[0034] The noise generated during the operation of the garment processing equipment resonates with the air inside the first cavity 4. The energy of this vibration is converted into heat energy, further attenuating the noise and significantly improving user comfort. The first cavity 4 also helps save raw materials, reduces the overall weight of the garment processing equipment, and serves as a channel for air circulation, forming a heat dissipation space for auxiliary cooling.

[0035] The integral die-cast connector 3 of the housing 1 not only reduces the assembly process of the clothing processing equipment, but also provides better connection and positioning for the receiving cavity 2.

[0036] As a preferred example of this application, the first non-contact portion 33 is arc-shaped. Furthermore, the curvature of the arc is directed in a direction that facilitates increasing the volume of the first cavity 4. Compared to a straight-line configuration, the arc-shaped first non-contact portion 33 allows stress to be gradually dispersed along the curved surface, reducing stress concentration and deformation of the housing 1.

[0037] For the connector 3, it includes two first non-contact parts 33, and the bending directions of the two first non-contact parts 33 are opposite. This not only provides more stable support for the receiving cavity 2, but also disperses the transmission of stress and vibration along different directions, thereby improving the structural stability of the housing assembly and suppressing large deformation caused by vibration.

[0038] The shape of the first connecting part 31 is adapted to the inner side of the box 1, and the shape of the second connecting part 32 is adapted to the outer side of the receiving cavity 2.

[0039] As a preferred example of this application, the projected area of ​​the second connecting portion 32 on the first connecting portion 31 is smaller than the area of ​​the first connecting portion 31. Since the receiving cavity 2 is the source of centrifugal force and vibration generated by high-speed rotation, when force and vibration are transmitted through the connecting member 3, the second connecting portion 32, with its smaller contact area, quickly guides and transmits the force and vibration to the housing 1, while the first connecting portion 31 increases the contact area with the housing 1, thereby better dispersing localized force and vibration. The smaller contact area of ​​the second connecting portion 32 also helps to optimize the internal space of the housing 1. Preferably, the arc length of the second connecting portion 32 is less than one-quarter of the outer circumference of the receiving cavity 2 to which it is connected.

[0040] The connector 3 is positioned opposite to the receiving cavity 2 connected thereto, thereby providing support for the receiving cavity 2 from different directions and improving the rigidity and strength of the housing assembly.

[0041] As a preferred example of the present invention, the connector 3 is symmetrically arranged along the horizontal or vertical diameter of the connected receiving cavity 2. That is, the centerline of the connector 3 and the horizontal or vertical diameter of the connected receiving cavity 2 are collinear. The symmetrical arrangement can better support the receiving cavity 2, balance the centrifugal force generated by the receiving cavity 2 during operation, and enable stress and vibration to be transmitted and dispersed along the symmetrical direction, reducing stress concentration, thereby improving stiffness and strength, increasing the natural frequency of the housing assembly, and reducing vibration and noise by transmitting vibration along different directions.

[0042] Multiple receiving cavities 2 are provided, each of which is integrally connected to the housing 1. A support member 7 is formed between two adjacent receiving cavities 2. The support member 7 is integrally connected to the receiving cavity 2, with one side connected to one of the adjacent receiving cavities 2 and the other side connected to the other. The support member 7 not only further connects and positions the receiving cavities 2, but also improves the overall rigidity and strength of the housing 1, thereby increasing the natural frequency of the housing 1 and preventing resonance caused by the high-speed rotation of the receiving cavities 2. The support member 7 can also replace the function of a counterweight, balancing the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the washing drum in the receiving cavity 2. The support member 7 also provides some vibration damping for the washing drum.

[0043] The portion of the support member 7 that does not contact the receiving cavity 2 is the second non-contact portion 71. The second non-contact portion 71 is arc-shaped, and it forms a second cavity 5 with the inner side of the housing 1. The second non-contact portion 71 and the adjacent support member 7 also form a second cavity 5. The curvature of the arc shape is directed to increase the volume of the second cavity 5. Similar to the first cavity 4, the noise generated during the operation of the garment processing equipment resonates with the air inside the second cavity 5, converting the energy of the vibration into heat energy, further attenuating the noise. The second cavity 5 also helps reduce the overall weight of the garment processing equipment and can serve as an airflow channel, forming a heat dissipation space for auxiliary heat dissipation.

[0044] The area of ​​the mating portion between the support member 7 and the receiving cavity 2 is determined by the size of the receiving cavity 2 to which it is connected. The larger the receiving cavity 2, the larger the area of ​​the mating portion between the support member 7 and the receiving cavity 2. Preferably, the arc length of the mating portion between the support member 7 and the receiving cavity 2 is less than one-quarter of the circumference of the outer circle of the receiving cavity 2 to which it is connected.

[0045] The support member 7 includes two second non-contact parts 71, and the two second non-contact parts 71 bend in opposite directions. This not only stabilizes the receiving cavity 2, but also disperses the transmission of stress and vibration in different directions, ensuring the smooth and low-noise operation of the garment processing equipment.

[0046] The first cavity 4 and the second cavity 5 work together to cause the noise generated during the operation of the garment processing equipment to resonate with the air inside the cavities. The energy of the vibration is converted into heat energy, which attenuates the noise and reduces the noise level during the use of the garment processing equipment. The arc-shaped design increases the volume of the first cavity 4 and the second cavity 5, which not only gradually disperses stress along the curved surface, reducing stress concentration and thus reducing the deformation of the housing 1, but also increases the space for air circulation and improves the heat dissipation effect.

[0047] To maximize the internal space of the housing 1, both the connector 3 and the support 7 are designed to be thicker at both ends and thinner in the middle, meaning the first non-contact portion 33 and the second non-contact portion 71 are relatively small. The thicker ends increase the contact area with the housing 1 and / or the cavity 2, better transmitting and distributing force and vibration. The thinner middle increases the internal space of the housing 1, allowing for better clearance of other components, and provides more space for other components without altering the overall dimensions of the housing 1.

[0048] When multiple receiving cavities 2 are provided, each receiving cavity 2 is integrally connected to the housing 1 via a connector 3 and also integrally connected to adjacent receiving cavities 2 via a support 7. The support 7 increases the force-bearing area between each receiving cavity 2, allowing the local stress and vibration generated in the receiving cavity 2 to be dispersed through the support 7, reducing local stress peaks, reducing vibration and noise, and enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the housing assembly. The connector 3 and the support 7 cooperate with each other to enhance the structural continuity between the housing 1 and each receiving cavity 2, forming a continuous force-bearing path, dispersing stress, suppressing deformation, and helping to increase the strength and stiffness of the receiving cavity 2, thereby increasing the natural frequency. Moreover, the stress on the housing 1 is dispersed along multiple directions of the connector 3 and the support 7, avoiding stress concentration, reducing deformation, and making the housing 1 more stable during operation. In addition, the connector 3 and the support 7 are beneficial for reflecting sound waves, causing sound waves to dissipate sound wave energy through multiple reflections within the housing 1, which can weaken the propagation of noise. Both the connector 3 and the support 7 are integrally die-cast with the housing assembly.

[0049] Specifically, regarding this application Figure 1 In this design, the receiving cavity 2 includes a main receiving cavity 9, a first small receiving cavity 10, and a second small receiving cavity 11. The first small receiving cavity 10 is located on the upper left side of the main receiving cavity 9, and the second small receiving cavity 11 is located on the upper right side of the main receiving cavity 9. By rationally arranging the three receiving cavities 2, the space of the housing assembly is fully utilized, making it convenient for users to use the space in separate areas.

[0050] As a preferred example of this application, the outer diameter of the main receiving cavity 9 is 550-560 mm, and the outer diameters of the first small receiving cavity 10 and the second small receiving cavity 11 are 150-180 mm. The size of the receiving cavity 2 can be increased by die casting. The die-cast receiving cavity 2 has increased size, which is beneficial for accommodating more clothing and improving the efficiency of spin-drying.

[0051] Connectors 3 are formed at the left, right, and lower ends of the main receiving cavity 9, and connectors 3 are formed at the upper ends of the first small receiving cavity 10 and the second small receiving cavity 11. The connectors 3 are used to improve the connection strength and stability between each receiving cavity 2 and the housing 1, thereby improving the rigidity and strength of the housing assembly.

[0052] A support member 7 is formed between the first small receiving cavity 10 and the second small receiving cavity 11. The support member 7 is formed at the lower end of the first small receiving cavity 10 and the upper end of the main receiving cavity 9. The support member 7 is formed at the lower end of the second small receiving cavity 11 and the upper end of the main receiving cavity 9.

[0053] Considering the large washing capacity of the main cavity 9, which is most prone to vibration and noise during operation, the main cavity 9 is connected to the housing 1 in at least three directions via connectors 3, and its upper end is connected to the two smaller cavities via support members 7. Considering the smaller washing capacity of the first smaller cavity 10 and the second smaller cavity 11, which generate relatively less vibration and noise during operation, and based on their placement, the first smaller cavity 10 is only connected to the housing 1 at its upper end via connectors 3, and the second smaller cavity 11 is only connected to the housing 1 at its upper end via connectors 3, with support members 7 connecting the first smaller cavity 10 and the second smaller cavity 11. This layout ensures stable operation of the three cavities 2, and optimizes vibration and noise reduction while maintaining the optimal layout of the housing components.

[0054] As a preferred example of this application, the two support members 7 connected to the main receiving cavity 9 are symmetrically distributed, the connector 3 connected to the first small receiving cavity 10 and the connector 3 connected to the second small receiving cavity 11 are symmetrically distributed, and the connector 3 located on the left side of the main receiving cavity 9 and the connector 3 located on the right side of the main receiving cavity 9 are symmetrically distributed. This arrangement allows force and vibration to be transmitted along opposite directions, avoiding force concentration and aiding in vibration dissipation.

[0055] The top of the receiving cavity 2 has an integrally formed water inlet channel, and the bottom has an integrally formed drainage channel. The water inlet and drainage channels are reserved in advance during the die casting process, so that the water can be directly connected to the water source through the reserved water inlet channel and the water can be directly discharged through the reserved drainage channel.

[0056] The housing 1 includes at least two side plates 6 located in different directions. Adjacent side plates 6 are integrally connected, and the inner sides of the connection points of the two adjacent side plates 6 are smoothly transitioned rounded corner structures to avoid excessive stress concentration at the connection point and to facilitate demolding during die casting. The outer sides of the connection points of the two adjacent side plates 6 are right-angle structures or smoothly transitioned small rounded corner structures.

[0057] Specifically, regarding this application Figure 1 In this design, the housing 1 includes a left side plate, a top side plate, a right side plate, and a bottom side plate connected in sequence. The front and rear sides of the housing 1 have openings to facilitate the installation of the washing drum and the motor 8. The increased number of side plates 6 provides more connection points for the connectors 3, increasing the strength and rigidity of the housing assembly, and also improving the connection stability and operational smoothness of the receiving cavity 2.

[0058] like Figure 1The cabinet assembly shown is made of ADC12 aluminum alloy die-casting. The main receiving cavity 9 is a drum with an outer diameter of 550mm, and the first small receiving cavity 10 and the second small receiving cavity 11 are both drums with an outer diameter of 150mm. PCM color-coated steel front and rear side plates are installed on the outside of the cabinet assembly for simulation testing. Finite element analysis using ANSYS yielded a first-order natural frequency of 63.78Hz for this structure. The rotation frequency of the washing drum during spin-drying in a drum washing machine is 20~23Hz. The natural frequency of the cabinet assembly in this application is much higher than the rotation frequency of the washing drum, which can reduce resonance, ensure stable operation of the clothing processing equipment, and reduce noise and vibration. This application provides a new approach for further increasing the rotation speed of the washing drum and balancing the adverse effects of vibration.

[0059] As one embodiment of this application, this application also provides a garment processing device. The garment processing device includes the aforementioned housing assembly. Based on the housing assembly provided in this application, the garment processing device also includes conventional components of a garment processing device, such as a dispensing section, a drainage section, and a water inlet section. Since these are all prior art, they will not be described in detail here. The garment processing device of this application can be a dryer, a washer-dryer combo, etc.

[0060] 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 invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
