The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art from case to case.As mentioned above, the question of how to house the laundry drum and other components in the confined space inside the washing machine has become a focus of research.In view of this, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, the present invention provides a clothes washing apparatus 100 including a box body 10 and a first cylinder 20, the first cylinder 20 being disposed in the box body 10, and a front plate 11 of the box body 10 being provided with an opening 111 for accommodating and depositing clothes corresponding to an opening of the first cylinder 20, the size of the first cylinder 20 in a front-rear direction of the box body 10 being a first size L 1 the size of the box body 10 in the front-rear direction being a second size L 2, and wherein the ratio of the first size L 1 to the second size L 2 is in the range of 1 / 10 to 2 / 3.Note that, in the present invention, the first size L 1 may be the distance between the cylinder bottom of the first cylinder 20 and the opening of the first cylinder 20 in the front-rear direction of the box body 10, and the first size L 1 may also be the distance between the bottom of the cylinder of the first cylinder 20 and the opening of the first cylinder 20 in the front-rear direction of the box body 10. The distance between the cylinder bottom of the first cylinder 20 and the opening of the first cylinder 20, the first size L 1 may also be a distance between the cylinder bottom of the first cylinder 20 and the receiving opening 111 of the box body 10 in the front-rear direction of the box body 10, which is not limited by the present invention.The cylinder bottom of the first cylinder 20 may be an outer bottom surface of the outer cylinder of the first cylinder 20 (i.e., an outer bottom surface of the outer cylinder side of the first cylinder 20 that is away from the front plate 11), and the cylinder bottom of the first cylinder 20 may be an inner bottom surface of the inner cylinder of the first cylinder 20, without limitation of the present invention.In the above clothes washing apparatus 100, the box body 10 may serve as a housing of the clothes washing apparatus 100, and the box body 10 may be used to house various components within the clothes washing apparatus 100, and is also capable of providing support and fixation to some of the components (e.g., washing cylinders, etc.) within the clothes washing apparatus 100.In the above clothes washing device 100, the first cylinder 20 may be a cylinder of the clothes washing device 100, and the first cylinder 20 may be provided inside the box body 10. The first cylinder 20 may be used to hold the laundry items to be washed, and washing, drying, and other operations are performed on the laundry items held in the first cylinder 20 depending on the configuration of the clothes washing apparatus 100.When the above clothes washing apparatus 100 is used for washing clothes, the user can put the objects to be washed into the first cylinder 20 through the clothes receiving and depositing opening 111 provided on the front panel 11 of the box body 10, or take out the objects to be washed from the first cylinder 20, so that the objects to be washed can be more conveniently received and deposited.In the above technical solution, the ratio between the size of the first cylinder 20 in the front-rear direction of the box body 10 and the size of the box body 10 in the front-rear direction is in the range of 1 / 10 to 2 / 3, that is, in the front-rear direction of the box body 10, there is a gap between the rear end of the first cylinder 20 and the rear end of the box body 10, thereby, the arrangement of the washing cylinder and the other components in the clothes washing apparatus 100 is facilitated, and the compactness of the clothes washing apparatus 100 is high. It takes into account the rear space, the depth and the volume of the box body 10, e.g., the volume at the depth of the first cylinder 20 to ensure space utilization, and at the same time, it is convenient for the user to operate and take out the articles.Optionally, the above ratio of the first size L 1 to the second size L 2 may be between 1 / 3 and 2 / 3 because the ratio of the first size L 1 to the second size L 2 is greater than or equal to 1 / 3. Thus, the first cylinder 20 may have a longer size along the front-rear direction, and the longer sized first cylinder 20 may have a larger volume, whereby the first cylinder 20 is able to accommodate a certain volume of the objects to be washed, satisfy the washing need of the first cylinder 20, and improve the washing ratio.Since the ratio between the first size L 1 and the second size L 2 is less than or equal to 2 / 3, the first cylinder 20 is not too long along the front-rear direction. In this way, on the one hand, by making the sizes of the first cylinder 20 and the box body 10 reasonable in the front-rear direction, it is possible to provide the first cylinder 20 with a large accommodation space 30 between the first cylinder 20 and the box body 10 so as to facilitate the arrangement of other components within the clothes washing apparatus 100; on the other hand, the first cylinder 20 is not formed as a narrow and elongated thin cylinder, thereby facilitating the user to put the laundry items to be washed into the first cylinder 20 or alternatively to take out the laundry items to be washed from the first cylinder 20.Note that, in the present invention, the first cylinder 20 may have any suitable size in the front-rear direction of the box body 10, which is not limited in the present invention, and as an embodiment of the present invention, the first size L 1 ranges from 200 mm to 300 mm. The first cylinder 20 having the first size L 1, which is larger than 200 mm, may have a larger volume, so that the first cylinder 20 may accommodate a certain volume of objects to be washed, which satisfies washing requirements of the clothes washing apparatus 100, and at the same time, facilitates the user to remove clothes.Since the ratio between the first size L 1 and the second size L 2 is in the range of 1 / 3 to 3 / 5 and the first size L 1 is in the range of 200 mm to 300 mm, it can be considered that the second size L 2 of the box body 10 in the front-rear direction may be 500 to 600 mm. In other words, the size of the box body 10 may be the same as the size of the normal box body 10, which facilitates the installation of the clothes washing device 100 in the user's home. With this ratio range and the first size L 1 balance is made between the washing volume, the laundry preservation, and the simultaneous use of the space at the back of the first cylinder 20.In addition, the first cylinder 20 having the first size L 1 of less than 300 mm is not formed as a narrow and slender cylinder, thereby facilitating the user to put the laundry items to be washed into the first cylinder 20 or alternatively to take out the laundry items from the first cylinder 20.In order to facilitate the reception of the laundry items, the first cylinder 20 is optionally provided with, as illustrated in FIG. 4, a first inner cylinder 21 for receiving the laundry items, and the first inner cylinder 21 has a depth of 140 mm to 200 mm. In this way, the first cylinder 20 may provide a sufficient laundry item receiving space 30, which facilitates washing and / or drying of the laundry items.The present invention also does not limit the volume of the first inner cylinder 21 as long as the first inner cylinder 21 can satisfy the washing needs of the clothes washing apparatus 100, and in an embodiment of the present invention, the volume of the first inner cylinder 21 may be 1.5 liter to 4.5 liter.Here, note that the volume of the first inner cylinder 21 refers to the maximum capacity of the objects to be washed that the first cylinder 20 can accommodate, for example, the volume may refer to the maximum capacity of the liquid that the inner cylinder of the first cylinder 20 can accommodate when the door of the first cylinder 20 (i.e., the above door seal) is closed.Since the volume of the first inner cylinder 21 is equal to or larger than 1.5 liters, the first cylinder 20 can accommodate a larger number of laundry items, thereby fulfilling the user's requirement to wash or dry a large number of laundry items in a single session.Since the volume of the first inner cylinder 21 is less than or equal to 4.5 liters, the volume of the first cylinder 20 will not be too large, thereby effectively avoiding a situation in which the volume of the first cylinder 20 is too large, resulting in that the first cylinder 20 as well as other components in the clothes washing apparatus 100 cannot be easily arranged in the clothes washing apparatus 100.Optionally, the volume of the first inner cylinder 21 described above may be 3 liters.It should be noted that the present invention also does not limit the specific range of the diameter of the first cylinder 20, and as an embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the above first cylinder 20 may be 150 mm to 200 mm. The first cylinder 20 having a diameter greater than or equal to 150 mm may allow the first cylinder 20 to have a larger volume, so that the first cylinder 20 may accommodate a larger number of laundry items to meet the user's requirement to wash or dry a large number of laundry items in a single time.Moreover, a first cylinder 20 having a diameter less than or equal to 200 mm does not make the first cylinder 20 too large, and a smaller first cylinder 20 can facilitate the arrangement of the first cylinder 20 and other components inside the clothes washing apparatus 100 inside the box body 10.In the present invention, the first cylinder 20 may be disposed in any direction inside the box body 10 as long as the first cylinder 20 is capable of satisfying the washing requirements of the objects to be washed, for example, the first cylinder 20 may be disposed horizontally inside the box body 10, and the first cylinder 20 may be disposed in an inclined position inside the box body 10, and the present invention is not limited thereto. In an embodiment of the present invention, the first cylinder 20 extends horizontally along the front-rear direction of the box body 10 as illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4. In other words, the first cylinder 20 is horizontally disposed inside the box body 10. On the one hand, the horizontally disposed first cylinder 20 may allow the laundry articles to be washed to be uniformly dispersed within the first cylinder 20 under the action of gravity so as to improve the washing action of the laundry articles to be washed; on the other hand, the horizontally disposed first cylinder 20 is structurally more stable, which contributes to improving the stability and the safety performance of the clothes washing apparatus 100.In order to improve convenience of the clothes washing apparatus 100, the above clothes washing apparatus 100 may optionally further include, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, a second cylinder 40, wherein the opening of the second cylinder 40 is provided at a front side of the box body 10.Note that in the present invention, each of the first cylinder 20 and the second cylinder 40 may be a drying cylinder, a washing cylinder, or a washing and drying cylinder.For example, when the first cylinder 20 is a washing cylinder, the first cylinder 20 may have a washing function that allows the first cylinder 20 to wash the objects to be washed inside the first cylinder 20.When the first cylinder 20 is a washing and drying cylinder, the first cylinder 20 may have both a washing function and a drying function, so that the first cylinder 20 may wash and dry the objects to be washed in the first cylinder 20.When the second cylinder 40 is a washing and drying cylinder, the second cylinder 40 may have a washing function that allows the second cylinder 40 to wash the objects to be washed in the second cylinder 40.When the second cylinder 40 is a washing and drying cylinder, the second cylinder 40 may have both a washing function and a drying function, so that the second cylinder 40 may wash and dry the objects to be washed in the second cylinder 40.The combination of the functions of the first cylinder 20 and the second cylinder 40 may allow the above clothes washing apparatus 100 to have the functions of separately washing (e.g., one of the cylinders is used for washing upper clothes, the other cylinder is used for washing inner clothes such as undergarments, etc.), separately drying, or washing and drying in an apparatus.The present invention also does not limit the structure of the box body 10, which may be a one-piece molded box body 10 or a box body 10 made of a plurality of joined plates. In an embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, the box body 10 includes a front plate 11 and a rear plate 12 spaced apart from each other in a front-rear direction, and the openings of the first cylinder 20 and the second cylinder 40 are both provided on the front plate 11. In this way, the insertion and removal of the objects to be washed can be done through the front panel 11, and the clothes washing apparatus 100 is more aesthetically pleasing.Moreover, the front plate 11 and the rear plate 12 may collectively enclose a space for mounting the first cylinder 20 and the second cylinder 40, and the front plate 11 and the rear plate 12 may protect the components provided in the box body 10.In the present invention, the second cylinder 40 may be disposed in any direction inside the box body 10 as long as the second cylinder 40 is capable of satisfying the washing requirements of the objects to be washed. For example, the second cylinder 40 may be horizontally disposed in the box body 10, and the second cylinder 40 may also be obliquely disposed in the box body 10, and the present invention does not limit this. In an embodiment of the present invention, the second cylinder 40 extends horizontally along the front-rear direction of the box body 10 as illustrated in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4. In other words, the second cylinder 40 is arranged horizontally inside the box body 10, on the one hand, the horizontally arranged second cylinder 40 can allow the laundry items to be washed to be evenly distributed inside the second cylinder 40 under the action of gravity, so as to improve the washing effect of the laundry items to be washed; on the other hand, the horizontally arranged second cylinder 40 is structurally more stable, which contributes to improving the stability and safety of the clothes washing apparatus 100.Here, it is understood that for the embodiment of the clothes washing apparatus 100 including the first cylinder 20 and the second cylinder 40, the first cylinder 20 and the second cylinder 40 may both be obliquely disposed in the box body 10, and the first cylinder 20 and the second cylinder 40 may both be horizontally disposed in the box body 10, and the present invention is not limited thereto.Note that the present invention also does not limit the specific arrangement position of the first cylinder 20 and the second cylinder 40 within the box body 10. In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the first cylinder 20 is arranged on top of the second cylinder 40, and the first cylinder 20 and the second cylinder 40 are arranged offset in the width direction of the box body 10. In other words, the first cylinder 20 is disposed above the side of the second cylinder 40, so that by reasonably adjusting the relative position between the first cylinder 20 and the second cylinder 40, the requirements on the balance of the center of gravity of the clothes washing device 100 can be satisfied, thereby improving the stability and safety of the clothes washing device 100, and the vibration of the clothes washing device 100 can be reduced.The present invention also does not limit the specific sizes of the first cylinder 20 and the second cylinder 40, and in an embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the second cylinder 40 may be larger than the diameter of the first cylinder 20. Since the diameter of the second cylinder 40 is larger than the diameter of the first cylinder 20, it is possible to make the capacity of the second cylinder 40 larger than the capacity of the first cylinder 20, so that by reducing the diameter of the first cylinder 20, a larger mounting space can be provided for the second cylinder 40, so that the second cylinder 40 can meet the demand for large-volume accommodations.For example, the second cylinder 40 may be a main washing cylinder for washing adult or upper clothes, and the first cylinder 20 may be a small washing cylinder that can be used for washing intimate undergarments or infant clothes.In the embodiment in which the diameter of the second cylinder 40 is larger than the diameter of the first cylinder 20, the second cylinder 40 may be provided below the side of the first cylinder 20, and by providing the second cylinder 40 having a larger mass below the side of the first cylinder 20 having a smaller mass, the overall center of gravity of the clothes washing apparatus 100 may be lowered, which contributes to improving the stability of the washing machine.The present invention also does not limit the specific size of the second cylinder 40, and in an embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the second cylinder 40 may be 500 mm to 545 mm. such setting may allow the second cylinder 40 to meet the demand for a large capacity receptacle, which in turn ensures that it is capable of receiving an appropriate number of items to be washed.Note that the present invention does not limit the specific type of clothes washing apparatus 100, for example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the clothes washing apparatus 100 may be a washing machine such as a drum type washing machine, and in other embodiments of the present invention, the clothes washing apparatus 100 may be a drying machine, a washing and drying machine, and the like.The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described above in detail in conjunction with the attached drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the specific details in the above-mentioned embodiments, and a variety of simple variations of the technical solutions of the present invention can be carried out within the technical concept of the present invention, and all of these simple variations fall within the scope of the present invention.It is also to be noted that each specific technical feature described in the above specific embodiments may be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction, and in the present invention, in order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations are not separately described.Moreover, the various embodiments of the present invention may be combined in any manner, and as long as they do not conflict with the ideas of the present invention, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed in the present invention.
