Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] Specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are used solely for the purpose of illustrating and interpreting this disclosure and are not intended to limit it.

[0021] In this disclosure, unless otherwise specified, terms indicating direction such as “up,” “down,” “left,” and “right” are defined relative to the orientation of the paper in a general drawing, and “inside” and “outside” refer to the inside and outside of the relevant components. Furthermore, terms such as “first,” “second,” etc., are used solely for distinction and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] In this disclosure, unless expressly defined and limited, the terms “installation” and “connection” should be understood in a broad sense. For example, a connection may be fixed, removable, or integral. A connection may be direct, indirectly via an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meaning of these terms in this disclosure depending on the specific circumstances.

[0023] With the development of laundry processing equipment, double-drum designs are increasingly being adopted to enable different types of laundry processing. For example, a double-drum washing machine has two washing drums for washing different types of clothing. Because it requires the placement of two washing drums, space must be used efficiently.

[0024] In related technologies, the arrangement of the two drums in double-drum garment processing devices is not rational, and because the two drums occupy a large amount of space, the overall size of the garment processing device is large.

[0025] Therefore, as shown in Figures 1 to 9, this disclosure provides a garment processing apparatus. The garment processing apparatus includes a housing 1, a first drum 2, and a second drum 3. The housing 1 has a front plate 11 and two side plates 12 that are provided opposite each other.

[0026] The front plate 11 of the housing 1 refers to the front plate 11 of the entire garment processing device, which faces the user and is used for loading and unloading clothes, and extends vertically. The two opposing side plates 12 refer to the two side plates 12 on the left and right of the housing 1 when viewed from facing the front plate 11 of the housing 1. The distance between the center of the first drum 2 and the center of the second drum 3 in the horizontal direction is defined as the first distance 23, and the ratio of the first distance 23 to the width of the housing 1 is set to 0.1 to 0.4.

[0027] In the above proposed technology, by setting the ratio of the first distance 23 to the width of the housing 1, when the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 are placed in the housing 1, the limited space within the housing 1 can be utilized to the fullest extent, improving the space utilization rate of the housing 1 without excessively increasing the size of the housing 1 when the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 are placed in it. As a result, the overall size of the garment processing device does not become too large, the space occupied when the garment processing device is used at the user's location does not become too large, and there are many options for application scenarios. While ensuring space allocation, it is possible to prevent the housing from tilting to the left or right due to an excessively large ratio, or from lacking space due to an excessively small ratio.

[0028] At the same time, if the heights of the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 overlap, arranging them left and right within the enclosure according to the above ratio can reduce the overlapping area of ​​the vertical projections of the two drum doors corresponding to the first drum 2 and the second drum 3, respectively, thereby reducing or avoiding interference when the two drum doors are opened simultaneously.

[0029] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the front plate 11 has a first garment opening and a second garment opening, a first drum 2 is connected to the first garment opening, a second drum 3 is connected to the second garment opening, and the first distance 23 is configured as the horizontal distance between the axis center of the first garment opening and the axis center of the second garment opening.

[0030] Here, the center of the first drum 2 is the axis center of the first clothing input opening, and the center of the second drum 3 is the axis center of the second clothing input opening. The first distance is a straight-line distance in the horizontal direction, and the line passing through the axis center of the first clothing input opening and perpendicular to the horizontal plane is defined as the first line 22, and the line passing through the axis center of the second clothing input opening and perpendicular to the horizontal plane is defined as the second line 32, and the perpendicular straight-line distance between the first line 22 and the second line 32 is defined as the first distance 23. The first distance 23 refers to the straight-line distance perpendicular to both the first line 22 and the second line 32, that is, the shortest distance between the first line 22 and the second line 32, and both the first line 22 and the second line 32 are hypothetical to reflect the arrangement positions of the first drum 2, the second drum 3 and the housing 1.

[0031] In an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, the first drum 2 has a first central axis, and the second drum 3 has a second central axis. The first drum 2 is connectable to the housing 1, and a first clothing input opening is provided on the front plate 11 of the housing 1, and the first drum 2 is connected to the first clothing input opening, and the first drum 2 includes a first outer tab and a first inner drum, the first outer tab is fitted onto the first inner drum, and the coaxially arranged axes of the first outer tab and the first inner drum are the first central axis. The second drum 3 is connectable to the housing 1, and a second clothing input opening is provided on the front plate 11 of the housing 1, and the second drum 3 is connected to the second clothing input opening, and the second drum 3 includes a second outer tab and a second inner drum, the second outer tab is fitted onto the second inner drum, and the coaxially arranged axes of the second outer tab and the second inner drum are the second central axis.

[0032] The first central axis intersects the bottom of the first drum 2 at a first point, the second central axis intersects the bottom of the second drum 3 at a second point, and the first distance 23 is defined as the horizontal distance between the first point and the second point.

[0033] The first distance is a straight-line distance in the horizontal direction. The first line 22 is a line passing through the first point and perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the second line 32 is a line passing through the second point and perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the first distance 23 is the perpendicular straight-line distance between the first line 22 and the second line 32. The first distance 23 refers to the straight-line distance perpendicular to both the first line 22 and the second line 32, that is, the shortest distance between the first line 22 and the second line 32. Both the first line 22 and the second line 32 are hypothetical to reflect the placement positions of the first drum 2, the second drum 3, and the housing 1.

[0034] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the width of the housing 1 is defined as the second distance 13, which is defined as the horizontal vertical straight-line distance between the two side plates 12. The second distance 13 refers to the straight-line distance perpendicular to both of the two side plates 12, i.e., the shortest distance between the two side plates 12.

[0035] In order to further improve the space utilization rate of the housing 1, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, selectively, the vertical projection of the first central axis and the vertical projection of the second central axis do not overlap, and the projection of the first line 22 and the projection of the second line 32 do not overlap.

[0036] Here, since the vertical projections of the first central axis of the first drum 2 and the second central axis of the second drum 3 do not overlap, the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 are positioned with a horizontal offset. This allows the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 to be installed diagonally in the housing 1, reducing the occupied space and improving the space utilization rate of the housing 1.

[0037] Selectively, based on this, in some examples, the projection of the first line 22 in the vertical direction does not overlap with the projection of the second line 32. That is, if the projections of the first central axis and the second central axis do not overlap, then the projections of the first line 22 and the second line 32 in the vertical direction also do not overlap, that is, the axis center of the first clothing slot and the axis center of the second clothing slot do not overlap, or the first point and the second point do not overlap. In other examples, the axis center of the first clothing slot and the axis center of the second clothing slot in the vertical direction may overlap, or the first point and the second point may overlap. That is, if the projection of the first central axis and the projection of the second central axis do not overlap, then the axis center of the first clothing slot and the axis center of the second clothing slot in the vertical direction may overlap, or the first point and the second point may overlap.

[0038] To further control the distance between the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 and the two side plates 12 of the housing 1, selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the diameter of the first drum 2 is smaller than the diameter of the second drum 3. The vertical straight-line distance between the center of the first drum 2 in the horizontal direction and one of the side plates 12 is defined as the third distance 24, and the ratio of the first distance 23, the third distance 24, and the width of the housing 1 is set to 3:2:10. In this way, the positions of the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 in the housing 1 can be rationally arranged, the positional relationship between the housing 1, the first drum 2, and the second drum 3 can be rationally determined, and the space utilization rate of the housing 1 can be further improved.

[0039] Selectively, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the value of the third distance 24 is 100 mm to 265 mm. In some examples, the value of the third distance 24 is 111 mm. By controlling the specific value of the third distance within the above range, it is possible to effectively prevent the first drum from colliding with the housing during vibration. The distance between the center of the second drum 3 and one of the side plates 12 can be 250 mm to 350 mm.

[0040] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, there is one first drum 2 and one second drum 3, the side plate 12 includes a first side plate 121 and a second side plate 122, the first drum 2 is closer to the first side plate 121, the third distance 24 is the vertical straight-line distance between the center of the first drum 2 and the first side plate 121, and the second drum 3 is closer to the second side plate 122.

[0041] Here, the first side plate 121 and the second side plate 122 are two side plates 12 that are positioned opposite each other, with the first drum 2 being closer to the first side plate 121 than to the second side plate 122, and the second drum 3 being closer to the second side plate 122 than to the first side plate 121. In this way, the position of the first drum 2 can be easily determined with respect to the first side plate 121, and the position of the second drum 3 can be easily determined with respect to the second side plate 122.

[0042] Selectively, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, there are two first drums 2 and one second drum 3, where the second drum 3 is positioned horizontally between the two first drums 2. This enables three-drum operation, increasing the options for garment processing and broadening the range of application scenarios. Furthermore, staggering the three drums can further improve the space utilization of the housing 1.

[0043] The side plate 12 includes a first side plate 121 and a second side plate 122, and the two first drums 2 are close to the first side plate 121 and the second side plate 122, respectively. The third distance 24 is the vertical straight-line distance between the centers of the two first drums 2 and the first side plate 121 and the second side plate 122, respectively.

[0044] In the horizontal direction, the two first drums 2 are located on either side of the second drum 3, and the two first drums 2 can determine a third distance 24 based on the closer first side plate 121 or second side plate 122, thereby realizing a positioning reference for the first drums 2.

[0045] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first central axes of the two first drums 2 are located at the same horizontal height. In this way, the two first drums 2 are located at the same height, and their height from the bottom of the housing 1 and their height from the second drum 3 coincide, thus increasing space utilization.

[0046] In a selectively chosen embodiment of the present disclosure, there is a gap between the first central axes of the two first drums 2 in the vertical direction. This allows the two first drums 2 to be set to different heights depending on different application scenarios, resulting in a richer range of application scenarios and the ability to meet the needs of different users.

[0047] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first central axes of the two first drums 2 are arranged parallel to each other. This arrangement results in a beautiful and orderly appearance of the entire garment processing apparatus, as the two first drums 2 are arranged parallel to each other and oriented in the same direction, and facilitates the user's operation of the two first drums 2 and observation of their internal condition.

[0048] In some examples, the two first drums 2 may be mounted horizontally, or both may be mounted at an angle to the horizontal plane. Of course, in other examples, the two first drums 2 may face the front plate 11 directly, or they may be mounted at an angle to the front plate 11.

[0049] In a different embodiment of the present disclosure, the first central axes of the two first drums 2 are set at an angle. In this way, the two first drums 2 are not set parallel to each other, and the two first drums 2 face in different directions. This can meet the needs of different users and enrich the application scenarios.

[0050] In some examples, one of the two first drums 2 may be mounted horizontally and the other mounted at an angle to the horizontal plane, or both may be mounted at an angle to the horizontal plane with different inclination angles. Of course, in other examples, one of the two first drums 2 may be mounted facing the front plate 11 and the other mounted at an angle to the front plate 11, or both may be mounted at an angle to the front plate 11 with different inclination angles.

[0051] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first central axis is perpendicular to the front plate 11, and the first drum 2 faces the front plate 11. In this way, when a user faces the front plate 11 of the housing 1 of the garment processing device, the first drum 2 faces the user.

[0052] In a selectively chosen embodiment of the present disclosure, the first central axis is positioned at an angle to the front plate 11, and the first drum 2 is positioned at an angle to the front plate 11. In this manner, when a user faces the front plate 11 of the garment processing apparatus housing 1, the first drum 2 is positioned at an angle to face the user, thus meeting the different needs of different application scenarios.

[0053] Furthermore, the first drum 2 may be installed at an inclination relative to the front plate 11, either at an inclination in the horizontal direction or at an inclination in the vertical direction, and can be installed in a manner that specifically suits the actual needs.

[0054] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second central axis is perpendicular to the front plate 11, and the second drum 3 faces the front plate 11. In this way, when a user faces the front plate 11 of the housing 1 of the garment processing device, the second drum 3 faces the user.

[0055] The orientation of the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 may be the same or different. That is, the second drum 3 may face the front plate 11 directly, and the first drum 2 may face the front plate 11 directly, or the first drum 2 may be positioned at an angle to the front plate 11.

[0056] In a selectively chosen embodiment of the present disclosure, the second central axis is positioned at an angle to the front plate 11, and the second drum 3 is positioned at an angle to the front plate 11. In this manner, when the user faces the front plate 11 of the garment processing apparatus housing 1, the second drum 3 is positioned at an angle to face the user, thus meeting the different needs of different application scenarios.

[0057] Furthermore, the first drum 2 may be installed at an inclination relative to the front plate 11, either at an inclination in the horizontal direction or at an inclination in the vertical direction, and can be installed in a manner that specifically suits the actual needs.

[0058] Here, the orientations of the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 may be the same or different. That is, the second drum 3 may be mounted at an angle to the front plate 11, and the first drum 2 may be facing the front plate 11 directly, or the first drum 2 may be mounted at an angle to the front plate 11.

[0059] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the ratio of the first distance 23 to the width of the housing 1 is set to 0.3, the numerical range of the first distance 23 is 135 mm to 235 mm, the numerical value of the first distance 23 is 185 mm, and the numerical value of the width of the housing 1 is 598 mm. By setting the above ratio value, the first distance 23, and the width of the housing 1 in this manner, the space within the housing 1 is made to the maximum extent, a balance between the space and volume of the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 is achieved within the limited space of the housing 1, sufficient volume is obtained while ensuring sufficient space for shock absorption and placement of other components, and the cleaning rate is improved.

[0060] In a selectively chosen embodiment of the present disclosure, the first drum 2 is positioned diagonally above the second drum 3 in the vertical direction. This arrangement allows the first drum 2 to handle small garments and the second drum 3 to handle large garments, enabling simultaneous operation, saving time, and accommodating different application scenarios.

[0061] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the housing 1 has a top surface 14 and a bottom surface 15. The horizontal height difference between the centers of the first drum 2 and the centers of the second drum 3 in the vertical direction is defined as the fifth distance 25, and the ratio of the fifth distance 25 to the height of the housing 1 is set to 0.2 to 0.4. This makes it possible to make maximum use of the limited space inside the housing 1, improves the space utilization rate of the housing 1, and does not excessively increase the size of the housing 1 in the height direction when the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 are arranged.

[0062] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the fifth distance 25 is configured as the vertical horizontal height difference between the axis center of the first garment opening and the axis center of the second garment opening.

[0063] Here, the center of the first drum 2 is the axis center of the first clothing input opening, and the center of the second drum 3 is the axis center of the second clothing input opening. The fifth distance 25 is a straight-line distance in the vertical direction, where the third line 26 is a line passing through the axis center of the first clothing input opening and parallel to the horizontal plane, the fourth line 34 is a line passing through the axis center of the second clothing input opening and parallel to the horizontal plane, and the fifth distance 25 is the perpendicular straight-line distance between the third line 26 and the fourth line 34. The fifth distance 25 refers to the straight-line distance perpendicular to both the third line 26 and the fourth line 34, that is, the shortest distance between the third line 26 and the fourth line 34. Both the third line 26 and the fourth line 34 are hypothetical to reflect the arrangement positions of the first drum 2, the second drum 3, and the housing 1.

[0064] In an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, the first drum 2 has a first central axis, and the second drum 3 has a second central axis.

[0065] The first drum 2 is connectable to the housing 1 and includes a first outer tab and a first inner drum, the first outer tab being fitted onto the first inner drum, and the coaxially arranged axes of the first outer tab and the first inner drum are the first central axis.

[0066] The second drum 3 is connectable to the housing 1 and includes a second outer tab and a second inner drum, the second outer tab being fitted onto the second inner drum, and the coaxially arranged axes of the second outer tab and the second inner drum are the second central axis.

[0067] The first central axis intersects the bottom of the first drum 2 at a first point, the second central axis intersects the bottom of the second drum 3 at a second point, and the fifth distance 25 is defined as the horizontal height difference in the vertical direction between the first point and the second point.

[0068] The fifth distance 25 is a straight-line distance in the vertical direction. The third line 26 is a line passing through the first point and parallel to the horizontal plane, and the fourth line 34 is a line passing through the second point and parallel to the horizontal plane. The fifth distance 25 is the perpendicular straight-line distance between the third line 26 and the fourth line 34. The fifth distance 25 refers to the straight-line distance perpendicular to both the third line 26 and the fourth line 34, that is, the shortest distance between the third line 26 and the fourth line 34. Both the third line 26 and the fourth line 34 are hypothetical lines that reflect the placement positions of the first drum 2, the second drum 3, and the housing 1.

[0069] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the height of the housing 1 is defined as the sixth distance 16, and the sixth distance 16 is defined as the vertical straight-line distance between the top surface 14 and the bottom surface 15. The sixth distance 16 refers to the straight-line distance perpendicular to both the top surface 14 and the bottom surface 15, that is, the shortest distance between the top surface 14 and the bottom surface 15.

[0070] To further improve the space utilization rate of the housing 1, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first drum 2 is optionally positioned diagonally above the second drum 3. The horizontal height difference between the center of the first drum 2 and its top surface 14 in the vertical direction is defined as the seventh distance 27, and the ratio of the seventh distance 27 to the height of the housing 1 is set to 0.3 or less.

[0071] Since the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 are installed vertically, the horizontal space occupied by the housing 1 does not increase excessively. At the same time, when the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 are installed vertically, in conjunction with the ratio of the fifth distance 25 to the height of the housing 1 and the ratio of the seventh distance 27 to the height of the housing 1, the space occupied in the vertical height direction can be reduced to the greatest extent possible, and the space utilization rate of the housing 1 can be greatly improved.

[0072] Furthermore, if the first drum 2 is located diagonally above the second drum 3, the first central axis is also located diagonally above the second central axis, and the center of the first drum 2 is located diagonally above the center of the second drum 3. The center of the first drum 2 may be the axis of the first clothing input opening, as mentioned above, or it may be the first point which is the intersection of the first central axis and the bottom of the drum of the first drum 2.

[0073] In a selectively chosen embodiment of the present disclosure, the first drum 2 is positioned diagonally below the second drum 3. The horizontal height difference between the center of the first drum 2 and the bottom surface 15 in the vertical direction is defined as the eighth distance 28, and the ratio of the eighth distance 28 to the height of the housing 1 is set to 0.4 or less.

[0074] In this configuration, the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 are installed vertically, so the horizontal space occupied by the housing 1 does not increase excessively. At the same time, when the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 are installed vertically, in conjunction with the ratio of the fifth distance 25 to the height of the housing 1 and the ratio of the eighth distance 28 to the height of the housing 1, the space occupied in the vertical height direction can be reduced to the greatest extent possible, and the space utilization rate of the housing 1 can be greatly improved.

[0075] Furthermore, if the first drum 2 is located diagonally below the second drum 3, the first central axis is also located diagonally below the second central axis, and it should be understood that the center of the first drum 2 is located diagonally below the center of the second drum 3. As mentioned above, the center of the first drum 2 may be the axis of the first clothing input opening, or it may be the first point which is the intersection of the first central axis and the bottom of the drum of the first drum 2.

[0076] Furthermore, the fifth distance 25, the sixth distance 16, the seventh distance 27, and the eighth distance 28 can be set to specific values ​​according to actual needs.
