Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0021] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described in this specification are only used to explain and interpret the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0022] In this disclosure, unless otherwise specified, terms indicating direction such as “up,” “down,” “left,” and “right” are defined in reference to the general orientation of the 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.

[0023] 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.

[0024] With the advancement 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.

[0025] In related technologies, the arrangement of the two drums in double-drum type 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.

[0026] Therefore, as shown in Figures 1 to 9, the garment processing apparatus includes a housing 1, a first drum 2, and a second drum 3. The housing 1 has a top surface 14, a bottom surface 15, and a front plate 11 on which a clothing insertion opening is provided. The front plate 11 of the housing 1 refers to the front-facing surface of the entire garment processing device, the surface facing the user, the front plate 11 extends vertically, and is the surface used for loading and unloading clothes. The top surface 14 and bottom surface 15 refer to the highest and lowest surfaces of the housing 1 when viewed from the front plate 11, the top surface 14 and bottom surface 15 extend horizontally.

[0027] The horizontal height difference between the center of the first drum 2 and the center of the second drum 3 in the vertical direction is defined as the first distance 25, and the ratio of the first distance 25 to the height of the housing 1 is set to 0.2 to 0.4.

[0028] In the above proposed technology, by setting the ratio between the first distance 25 and the height of the housing 1 in this way, 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, and not excessively increasing the size of the housing 1 in the height direction when the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 are placed. 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. In addition, by limiting the height ratio of the two drums in the housing, the overall height of the garment processing device does not become too high, which can make the housing unstable. This is avoided.

[0029] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the garment input includes a first garment input and a second garment input, a first drum 2 connected to the first garment input, a second drum 3 connected to the second garment input, and a first distance 25 configured as the vertical horizontal height difference between the axis center of the first garment input and the axis center of the second garment input.

[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 25 is a straight-line distance in the vertical direction. The first line 26 is a line that passes through the axis center of the first clothing input opening and is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the second line 34 is a line that passes through the axis center of the second clothing input opening and is parallel to the horizontal plane. The first distance 25 is the perpendicular straight-line distance between the first line 26 and the second line 34. The first distance 25 refers to the straight-line distance perpendicular to both the first line 26 and the second line 34, that is, the shortest distance between the first line 26 and the second line 34. Both the first line 26 and the second line 34 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 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. 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.

[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 25 is defined as the horizontal height difference in the vertical direction between the first point and the second point.

[0033] The first distance 25 is a straight-line distance in the vertical direction. The first line 26 is a line passing through the first point and parallel to the horizontal plane, and the second line 34 is a line passing through the second point and parallel to the horizontal plane. The first distance 25 is the perpendicular straight-line distance between the first line 26 and the second line 34. The first distance 25 refers to the straight-line distance perpendicular to both the first line 26 and the second line 34, that is, the shortest distance between the first line 26 and the second line 34. Both the first line 26 and the second line 34 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 height of the housing 1 is defined as the second distance 16, and the second distance 16 is defined as the vertical straight-line distance between the top surface 14 and the bottom surface 15. The second 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.

[0035] To further improve the space utilization rate of the enclosure 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 third distance 27, and the ratio of the third distance 27 to the height of the enclosure 1 is set to 0.3 or less.

[0036] Since the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 are installed one above the other, the horizontal space occupied by the enclosure 1 does not increase excessively. At the same time, the first drum 2 Furthermore, when the second drum 3 is installed vertically, the ratio of the first distance 25 to the height of the housing 1, and the ratio of the third distance 27 to the height of the housing 1, in combination, can minimize the space occupied in the vertical height direction and significantly improve the space utilization rate of the housing 1.

[0037] 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.

[0038] 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 fourth distance 28, and the ratio of the fourth distance 28 to the height of the housing 1 is set to 0.4 or less.

[0039] 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, the ratio of the first distance 25 to the height of the housing 1, and the ratio of the fourth distance 28 to the height of the housing 1, together, can minimize the space occupied in the vertical height direction, thereby significantly improving the space utilization rate of the housing 1.

[0040] 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.

[0041] Furthermore, the first distance 25, the second distance 16, the third distance 27, and the fourth distance 28 can be set to specific values ​​according to actual needs. When these ratio values ​​are met, the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 can be placed inside the housing 1, and the size of the housing 1 will not increase excessively.

[0042] Selectively, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the value of the third distance 27 is between 90 mm and 150 mm. In some examples, the value of the third distance 27 is 111 mm.

[0043] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the value of the fourth distance 28 is between 100 mm and 300 mm. In some examples, the value of the fourth distance 28 is 200 mm.

[0044] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first central axis is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the first drum 2 is mounted horizontally. In this way, the entire first drum 2 faces the front plate 11, and when the user faces the front plate 11 of the housing 1 of the garment processing device, the entire first drum 2 also faces the user. This ensures a reduction in the size and occupied space of the first drum 2 and the second drum 3.

[0045] In a selectively chosen embodiment of the present disclosure, the first central axis is positioned at an angle to the horizontal plane, and the first drum 2 is positioned at an angle. This allows the first drum 2 to face the user at an angle when the user is facing the front plate 11 of the garment processing apparatus housing 1, making it easier to load and unload clothes, thus meeting the different needs of different application scenarios. Cut.

[0046] The first drum 2 is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane. That is, the horizontal height of one end of the first drum 2 is higher than that of the other end. Note that which end of the first drum 2 is higher can be set according to the actual needs. In some examples, the horizontal height of the first drum 2 is higher at the end closer to the first clothing input opening.

[0047] Furthermore, whether the first drum 2 is installed horizontally or at an angle to the horizontal plane can be set according to the actual needs, thereby meeting different scenarios and user requirements.

[0048] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second central axis is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the second drum 3 is mounted horizontally. In this way, the entire second drum 3 faces the front plate 11, and when a user faces the front plate 11 of the housing 1 of the garment processing device, the entire second drum 3 also faces the user. This ensures a reduction in the size and occupied space of the first drum 2 and the second drum 3.

[0049] The orientations of the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 may be the same or different. That is, if the second drum 3 is installed horizontally, the first drum 2 may be installed horizontally, or the first drum 2 may be installed at an inclination with respect to the horizontal plane.

[0050] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second central axis is positioned at an angle to the horizontal plane, and the second drum 3 is positioned at an angle. This allows the second drum 3 to face the user at an angle when the user is facing the front plate 11 of the garment processing apparatus housing 1, thereby facilitating the loading and unloading of garments and meeting the different needs of different application scenarios.

[0051] Here, the second drum 3 is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane. That is, the horizontal height of one end of the second drum 3 is higher than that of the other end. Specifically, which end of the second drum 3 is higher can be set according to the actual needs. In some examples, the horizontal height of the end of the second drum 3 closer to the second clothing input opening is higher.

[0052] Furthermore, the second drum 3 can be positioned horizontally or inclined relative to the horizontal plane, depending on the actual needs, thus meeting different scenarios and user requirements. Also, the orientations of the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 may be the same or different. That is, if the second drum 3 is positioned inclined relative to the horizontal plane, the first drum 2 may be positioned horizontally, or the first drum 2 may be positioned inclined relative to the horizontal plane.

[0053] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the value of the first distance 25 is 185 mm, and the value of the height of the housing 1 is 820 mm.

[0054] 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, and the vertical projection of the first central axis does not overlap with the vertical projection of the second central axis. In this way, the first drum 2 can handle small garments and the second drum 3 can handle large garments, enabling simultaneous operation, saving time, and allowing application to different scenarios. Furthermore, because the projections of the first and second central axes do not overlap, the space utilization rate of the housing 1 can be further improved.

[0055] 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.

[0056] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, there is one first drum 2. The first drum 2 can be used as one garment processing option, and the second drum 3 can be used as another garment processing option.

[0057] Here, the first drum 2 may be a small drum, and the second drum 3 may be a large drum. In some examples, there may be only one second drum 3, with the first drum 2 near the top surface 14 of the enclosure 1 and the second drum 3 near the bottom surface 15 of the enclosure 1. Of course, in other examples, the number of second drums 3 may be set according to the actual needs and may be two or more.

[0058] Selectively, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the number of first drums 2 is two, and in the horizontal direction, the two first drums 2 are located on either side of the second drum 3. By providing two first drums 2, three-drum operation can be achieved, providing more selectable categories in the sorting operation when processing clothes, increasing the options for processing clothes, increasing user choices, and broadening the range of application scenarios. By staggering the arrangement of the three drums, the space utilization rate of the housing 1 can be further improved.

[0059] Here, the two first drums 2 are located on either side of the second drum 3. That is, horizontally, the second drum 3 is located between the two first drums 2, and both first drums 2 are offset from the second drum 3, thereby improving space utilization. In some examples, both first drums 2 are located above the second drum 3 and close to the top surface 14 of the housing 1.

[0060] 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 distances from the heights of the bottom surface 15 and top surface 14 of the housing 1, and the height difference with respect to the second drum 3 are equal, thus increasing space utilization.

[0061] 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.

[0062] Here, there is a gap between the first central axes of the two first drums 2, that is, the heights of the two first drums 2 from the bottom surface 15 of the housing 1 are different, the heights from the top surface 14 of the housing 1 are also different, and the height difference between them and the second drum 3 is also different.

[0063] 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.

[0064] In some examples, the two first drums 2 may be arranged horizontally, or both may be arranged horizontally. They may also be positioned at an angle to the horizontal plane. Of course, in another example, the two first drums 2 may face the front plate 11 directly, or they may be positioned at an angle to the front plate 11.

[0065] 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.

[0066] 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 of the two first drums 2 may be mounted at an angle to the horizontal plane, with different angles of inclination. 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 of the two first drums 2 may be mounted at an angle to the front plate 11, with different angles of inclination.

[0067] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the housing 1 has two opposing side plates 12. The distance between the centers of the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 in the horizontal direction is defined as the fifth distance 23, and the ratio of the fifth distance 23 to the width of the housing 1 is set to 0.1 to 0.4.

[0068] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the center of the first drum 2 is the axis center of the first garment opening, and the center of the second drum 3 is the axis center of the second garment opening. The fifth distance 23 is a straight-line distance in the horizontal direction, where the third line 22 is a line passing through the axis center of the first garment opening and perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the fourth line 32 is a line passing through the axis center of the second garment opening and perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the fifth distance 23 is the perpendicular straight-line distance between the third line 22 and the fourth line 32. Here, the fifth distance 23 refers to the straight-line distance perpendicular to both the third line 22 and the fourth line 32, i.e., the shortest distance between the third line 22 and the fourth line 32. The third line 22 and the fourth line 32 are both hypothetical to reflect the arrangement positions of the first drum 2, the second drum 3, and the housing 1.

[0069] Selectively, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the first central axis intersects the drum bottom of the first drum 2 at a first point, the second central axis intersects the drum bottom of the second drum 3 at a second point, and the fifth distance 23 is configured as the horizontal straight-line distance between the first point and the second point.

[0070] Here, the fifth distance 23 is a straight-line distance in the horizontal direction, where the third line 22 is a line passing through the first point and perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the fourth line 32 is a line passing through the second point and perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the fifth distance 23 is the perpendicular straight-line distance between the third line 22 and the fourth line 32. Here, the fifth distance 23 refers to the straight-line distance perpendicular to both the third line 22 and the fourth line 32, that is, the shortest distance between the third line 22 and the fourth line 32, where both the third line 22 and the fourth line 32 are hypothetical, reflecting the arrangement positions of the first drum 2, the second drum 3, and the housing 1.

[0071] Selectively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the width of the housing 1 is defined as the sixth distance 13, which is defined as the horizontal vertical straight-line distance between the two side plates 12. The sixth 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.

[0072] The distance between the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 and the side plates 12 of the housing 1. To further control this, 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 and one side plate 12 in the horizontal direction is defined as the seventh distance 24, and the ratio of the fifth distance 23, the seventh 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 lateral space utilization rate of the housing 1 can be further improved.

[0073] Selectively, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the value of the seventh distance 24 is between 100 mm and 265 mm. In some examples, the value of the seventh distance 24 is 111 mm.
