[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0002] This application is based on the Chinese patent application with application number 202410254976.5 and application date of March 6, 2024, and claims the priority of the Chinese patent application. The entire content of the Chinese patent application is hereby introduced into this application as a reference. Technical Field
[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of clothing processing, and in particular to a clothing processing device. Background Art
[0004] Taking a pulsator-type laundry machine as an example, while the outer dimensions of the machine remain constant, the gap between the tub assembly and the machine decreases as the washing volume increases. During the washing or spinning process, the tub assembly vibrates both horizontally and vertically, making it susceptible to impact with the machine, impacting the safety of the machine.
[0005] To reduce horizontal vibration of the tub assembly, clothes processing equipment is equipped with a vibration damper. One end of the damper is connected to the tub assembly, and the other end is connected to a suspension rod. When the tub assembly vibrates, the damper moves accordingly to dissipate vibration energy. However, the vibration damper's axis of motion is parallel to the horizontal direction, making it ineffective in damping the tub assembly's horizontal vibration.

[0052] It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, and the detailed description in the specific implementation method should be understood as an explanation of the purpose of this application and should not be regarded as an improper restriction on this application.

They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the embodiments of the present application.
[0054] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the technical features being referred to. Therefore, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features; and in the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.
[0055] An embodiment of the present application provides a clothing processing device 100 , referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 19 , the clothing processing device 100 includes a housing 1 , a barrel assembly 2 , and a vibration-damping assembly 3 .
[0056] It is understandable that the specific form of the clothing processing device 100 is not limited, and it can be an existing pulsator washing machine, drum washing machine and other equipment, and is not limited here; preferably, the vibration reduction component 3 described in the embodiment of the present application is better used on a pulsator washing machine.
[0057] The barrel assembly 2 is disposed in the box body 1 .
[0058] It is understood that the tub assembly 2 may include an inner tub and an outer tub, with the inner tub disposed within the outer tub, and the space within the inner tub defining a laundry processing chamber. The inner tub may be a perforated inner tub or a non-perforated inner tub. When the inner tub is a perforated inner tub, the outer tub is used to hold water; when the inner tub is non-perforated, the inner tub itself holds water. In other words, the inner tub can hold both water and laundry, and during the washing process, water in the inner tub does not enter the outer tub. In some embodiments, the tub assembly 2 may consist of only an inner tub, without an outer tub; in this case, the inner tub is a non-perforated inner tub.
[0059] The box body 1 can provide accommodation space and protection for the barrel assembly 2, isolate the barrel assembly 2 from the outside world, and reduce the chance of external dust and other impurities coming into contact with the barrel assembly 2. When the clothing processing device 100 is impacted, the box body 1 can also effectively withstand external impacts and reduce the chance of damage to the barrel assembly 2.
[0060] It can be understood that when the barrel assembly 2 includes an inner barrel and an outer barrel, one end of the vibration-damping assembly 3 can be connected to the outer barrel, and when the clothing processing device 100 includes a suspension rod 6, one end of the suspension rod 6 is connected to the outer barrel, and the other end is connected to the box body 1 to bear the weight of the barrel assembly 2; when the barrel assembly 2 has only an inner barrel, the barrel assembly 2 can include a water receiving tray, and the water receiving tray is arranged outside the inner barrel, and one end of the vibration-damping assembly 3 can be connected to the water receiving tray. When the clothing processing device 100 includes a suspension rod 6, one end of the suspension rod 6 is connected to the water receiving tray, and the other end is connected to the box body 1 to bear the weight of the barrel assembly 2.
[0061] In this embodiment, the barrel assembly 2 including an inner barrel and an outer barrel is taken as an example for description.
[0062] It is understandable that when the clothing processing device is in washing or dehydration mode, the inner barrel rotates, and the clothes in the inner barrel will shift during the rotation of the inner barrel, causing the center of gravity of the inner barrel to shift, thereby causing the inner barrel to rotate eccentrically, resulting in vibration and deflection of the outer barrel. When the eccentricity of the inner barrel rotation increases, the amplitude of the outer barrel will also increase accordingly, making it easy for the barrel assembly to hit the box body, affecting the dehydration process.
[0063] The vibration-damping component 3 is a structure with a vibration-damping effect. The vibration-damping component 3 provided in this embodiment is used to absorb the vibration energy of the barrel component 2 when the clothing processing device 100 is in a washing or dehydration state, thereby reducing the probability of the barrel component 2 colliding with the box body 1.
[0064] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 and 8, the shock absorbing assembly 3 includes a first moving part 31 and a second moving part 32 connected to each other, the end of the first moving part 31 away from the second moving part 32 is connected to the barrel assembly 2, and the end of the second moving part 32 away from the first moving part 31 is connected to a component outside the barrel assembly 2.
[0065] The first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 can rotate relative to each other around their connection, and the relative rotation axis L2 thereof is substantially parallel to the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2 .
[0066] It should be noted that when the clothing processing device 100 is in the washing or dehydration mode, the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, and transmits the vibration energy to the vibration damping assembly 3. Under the action of vibration, the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 of the vibration damping assembly 3 rotate relative to each other to adapt to the changes in different vibration directions of the barrel assembly 2, thereby consuming the vibration energy of the barrel assembly 2 and suppressing the vibration amplitude of the barrel assembly 2.
[0067] It should be noted that the components outside the barrel assembly 2 are components of the clothing processing device 100 that are independent of the barrel assembly 2 and are arranged outside the barrel assembly 2. For example, they can be the suspension rod 6, the workbench 7, the box 1, etc., and there is no restriction here. Therefore, the barrel assembly 2 and the components outside the barrel assembly 2 can jointly provide support for the vibration reduction assembly 3, thereby increasing the installation reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.
[0068] It should be noted that the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 can rotate relative to each other around the connection between the two, which means that at least one of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 can rotate around the connection between the two, thereby causing the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 to rotate relative to each other.
[0069] The relative rotation axis L2 of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 is substantially parallel to the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2, meaning that the relative rotation axis L2 of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 is substantially parallel to the height direction. Substantially parallel means that the angle between the relative rotation axis L2 of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 and the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2 can be 0° or close to 0°, i.e., a certain degree of processing and assembly error is allowed. Exemplarily, the angle between the relative rotation axis L2 of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 and the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2 is 0° to 5°, for example, 0°, 0.3°, 0.5°, 0.7°, 0.9°, 1°, 1.2°, 1.4°, 1.6°, 1.8°, 2°, 3°, 4°, 5°, etc.
[0070] Taking a pulsator-type clothing processing device as an example, when the external dimensions of the cabinet remain unchanged, the washing capacity of the pulsator-type clothing processing device gradually increases, making the horizontal gap between the cabinet and the barrel assembly smaller and smaller. During washing or dehydration operation, the barrel assembly will vibrate in both the horizontal and height directions, and the vibration is mainly in the horizontal direction. The vibration displacement of the barrel assembly in the height direction is small and it is not easy to hit the barrel, while the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly in the horizontal direction is large, and it is easy to exceed the horizontal gap between the cabinet and the barrel assembly and hit the cabinet. Therefore, it is necessary to effectively suppress the horizontal vibration of the barrel assembly.
[0071] In the related art, to reduce the horizontal vibration of the tub assembly, a clothing processing device is provided with a vibration damper. The vibration damper includes a first movable member and a second movable member that are interconnected. One end of the first movable member is connected to the tub assembly, and one end of the second movable member is connected to a suspension rod. When the tub assembly vibrates, the vibration damper moves accordingly to dissipate the vibration energy of the tub assembly. However, the rotation axes of the first and second movable members of the vibration damper are roughly parallel to the horizontal direction. In other words, the first and second movable members swing essentially in the vertical plane. The damping force on the vibration is mainly decomposed into a force in the height direction, and the force component in the horizontal direction is small. Therefore, the horizontal vibration of the tub assembly cannot be effectively absorbed, and the vibration damping effect is limited.
[0072] It can be understood that the horizontal direction refers to the direction parallel to the horizontal plane after the clothes processing apparatus 100 is placed on the horizontal ground, for example, the left-right direction, the front-back direction and other horizontal directions intersecting the left-right direction and the front-back direction.
[0073] In this embodiment, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 of the vibration-damping assembly 3 can rotate relative to each other around the connection between the two. The vibration of the barrel assembly 2 forces the vibration-damping assembly 3 to absorb energy. Since the relative rotation axis L2 of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 is basically parallel to the height direction, that is, the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 rotate relative to each other roughly in the horizontal direction, the damping force generated by the vibration-damping assembly 3 is mainly in the horizontal direction, thereby effectively suppressing the vibration of the barrel assembly 2 in the horizontal direction.
[0074] It should be noted that the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 can be made of a material with frictional damping properties. When the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 rotate relative to each other, the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 rub against each other, generating frictional damping, thereby cushioning the vibration of the barrel assembly 2. Of course, a structure with frictional damping properties can also be positioned between the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 to generate frictional damping when the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 rotate relative to each other, thereby reducing the vibration energy of the barrel assembly 2 and the horizontal vibration amplitude of the barrel assembly 2.
[0075] In the clothing processing device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the barrel assembly 2 transfers the vibration energy to the vibration-damping assembly 3, and the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 rotate relative to each other to adapt to the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2 in different vibration directions. The relative rotation axis L2 of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 is roughly parallel to the height direction. The damping force generated by the vibration-damping assembly 3 is mainly in the horizontal direction, which can effectively absorb the vibration energy of the barrel assembly 2 in the horizontal direction, thereby reducing the horizontal vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2 and the probability of the barrel assembly 2 colliding with the housing 1. The vibration-damping assembly 3 has a good horizontal vibration damping effect. In addition, the relative rotation of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 can also reduce the probability of the vibration-damping assembly 3 being stuck in motion, thereby increasing the motion reliability of the vibration-damping assembly 3.
[0076] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 6 and 8, the vibration reduction assembly 3 includes a friction member 33, which is arranged at the rotational connection between the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32, and is used to provide friction force to achieve vibration reduction when the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 rotate relative to each other.
[0077] It should be noted that the friction member 33 refers to a structure whose material itself has friction damping properties.
[0078] Specifically, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 rotate relative to each other, rubbing against the friction part 33 to generate friction damping, and the friction damping can serve as the damping force of the vibration reduction assembly 3 to reduce the vibration of the barrel assembly 2. The damping force is roughly in the horizontal direction and can basically act to reduce the horizontal vibration of the barrel assembly 2, thereby reducing the probability of the barrel assembly 2 hitting the box body 1.
[0079] In this embodiment, the friction member 33 is arranged at the rotational connection between the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32, that is, the friction member 33 does not directly contact the barrel assembly 2 or the components outside the barrel assembly 2 (such as the suspension rod 6), and the wear caused by the friction member 33 is relatively small. At the same time, when the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 rotate relative to each other, the friction member 33 can also isolate the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32, thereby reducing the wear caused by direct friction when the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 rotate, and the service life of the vibration damping assembly 3 can also be longer.
[0080] The material of the friction member 33 is not limited. For example, the friction member 33 can be made of a highly wear-resistant polyurethane foam material or a highly wear-resistant soft rubber material, with a high surface friction coefficient and the ability to deform to cooperate with the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32. Of course, the friction member 33 can also be made of a semi-metallic friction material, etc., and this is not limited here.
[0081] In some embodiments, the first end of the first moving member 31 is connected to the first end of the second moving member 32, and the angle between the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the first moving member 31 and the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the second moving member 32 does not exceed 180°.
[0082] It can be understood that the second end of the first moving part 31, that is, the end of the first moving part 31 away from the second moving part 32, the second end of the first moving part 31 is connected to the barrel assembly 2; the second end of the second moving part 32, that is, the end of the second moving part 32 away from the first moving part 31, the second end of the second moving part 32 is connected to the component outside the barrel assembly 2.
[0083] It is understood that the angle not exceeding 180° means that, before or during the relative rotation of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32, the angle between the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the first moving member 31 and the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the second moving member 32 along the same direction, with one of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 as a reference, does not exceed 180°. For example, referring to FIG7 , with the first moving member 31 as a reference, the angle between the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the first moving member 31 and the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the second moving member 32 along the counterclockwise direction shown in the figure does not exceed 180°.
[0084] It can be understood that when the barrel assembly vibrates and deflects, the first moving part and the second moving part rotate relative to each other under the action of vibration, and the relative positions of the first moving part and the second moving part change. When the angle between the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the first moving part and the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the second moving part exceeds 180°, the resistance of the first moving part and the second moving part when returning to the initial state is greatly increased, and thus adaptive movement cannot occur according to the change in the vibration position of the barrel assembly, resulting in the inability to effectively suppress the vibration of the barrel assembly, reducing the vibration reduction reliability of the vibration reduction assembly. The initial state is the state of the first moving part and the second moving part when the barrel assembly has not vibrated and deflected.
[0085] In this embodiment, the relative position change of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 can be limited to a reasonable range, so that the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 can move adaptively with the change of the vibration position of the barrel assembly 2, thereby reducing the probability of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 getting stuck and increasing the vibration reduction reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.
[0086] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 7 , when the barrel assembly 2 is in a stationary state, an angle α between a line A1 connecting the centers of the first and second ends of the first moving member 31 and a line A2 connecting the centers of the first and second ends of the second moving member 32 is not less than 50° and not more than 120°. That is, 50°≤α≤120°, for example, 50°, 55°, 60°, 63°, 69°, 72°, 75°, 86°, 90°, 95°, 100°, 110°, 120°, etc.
[0087] In this embodiment, when the barrel assembly 2 is in a stationary state, the range of the angle α is relatively reasonable. On the one hand, it facilitates the relative rotation of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 under the vibration of the barrel assembly 2. On the other hand, it also allows the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 to have a sufficient relative rotation range, thereby increasing the vibration reduction reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.
[0088] In some embodiments, the connection position between the first moving part 31 and the barrel assembly 2 is the first position 3a, and the connection position between the second moving part 32 and the external part of the barrel assembly 2 is the second position 3b. In the plane projection perpendicular to the height direction of the clothing processing device 100, when the barrel assembly 2 is in a stationary state, the line L3 connecting the centers of the projections of the first position 3a and the second position 3b is basically perpendicular to the tangent L4 of the barrel assembly 2 at the first position 3a.
[0089] The term "substantially perpendicular" means that the angle between the line L3 connecting the centers of the projections of the first position 3a and the second position 3b and the tangent line L4 of the barrel assembly 2 at the first position 3a can be 90° or close to 90°, i.e., a certain degree of processing and assembly error is allowed. For example, the angle β between the line L3 connecting the centers of the projections of the first position 3a and the second position 3b and the tangent line L4 of the barrel assembly 2 at the first position 3a is 85° to 95°, i.e., 85°≤β≤95°, for example, 85°, 86°, 87°, 88°, 89°, 90°, 91°, 92°, 93°, 94°, 95°, etc.
[0090] In this embodiment, the range of the angle β can ensure that when the barrel assembly 2 is in a stationary state, the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 can also be in a relatively stable state. When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the resistance when the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 rotate relative to each other with the vibration of the barrel assembly 2 can also be small, which is convenient for increasing the working reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.
[0091] Taking FIG. 4 as an example, the first position 3 a is the connection position between the first moving member 31 and the first rod body 4 , and the second position 3 b is the connection position between the second moving member 32 and the suspension rod 6 .
[0092] In some embodiments, the clothing processing device 100 includes a first rod 4 and a second rod 5, the first rod 4 is fixed to the circumferential outer side of the barrel assembly 2, and the end of the first moving part 31 away from the second moving part 32 is connected to the first rod 4; the end of the second moving part 32 away from the first moving part 31 is connected to the second rod 5.
[0093] That is, it can be understood that the second rod body 5 is a component other than the barrel assembly 2. In this embodiment, the first moving part 31 is connected to the first rod body 4, and the second moving part 32 is connected to the second rod body 5. The connection with the rod-shaped component can facilitate the movement of the vibration damping assembly 3 with the vibration of the barrel assembly 2, thereby increasing the convenience of movement.
[0094] In some embodiments, the end of the first moving member 31 away from the second moving member 32 can rotate around the circumference of the first rod 4; and / or the end of the second moving member 32 away from the first moving member 31 can rotate around the circumference of the second rod 5.
[0095] The above content includes multiple situations.
[0096] The first type: The end of the first moving member 31 away from the second moving member 32 is able to rotate around the circumference of the first rod 4, and the end of the second moving member 32 away from the first moving member 31 is engaged with the circumferential rotation stop of the second rod 5. When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, when the first rod 4 transfers the vibration energy of the barrel assembly 2 to the first moving member 31, the first moving member 31 adapts to the vibration position changes of the barrel assembly 2 by rotating around the first rod 4. At this time, the second moving member 32 can adapt to the vibration position changes of the barrel assembly 2 by sliding relative to the second rod 5 or other movement methods. In this embodiment, the vibration reduction assembly 3 has at least the degree of freedom of circumferential rotation around the first rod 4 and the degree of freedom of relative rotation between the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32.
[0097] Second, the end of the first moving member 31 facing away from the second moving member 32 is locked against the circumferential rotation of the first rod 4, while the end of the second moving member 32 facing away from the first moving member 31 is able to rotate circumferentially around the second rod 5. When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the second moving member 32 can adapt to the vibration position changes of the barrel assembly 2 by rotating circumferentially around the second rod 5. At this time, the first moving member 31 can adapt to the vibration position changes of the barrel assembly 2 by sliding relative to the first rod 4 or by other means of movement. In this embodiment, the vibration damping assembly 3 has at least the degree of freedom of circumferential rotation around the second rod 5 and the degree of freedom of relative rotation between the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32.
[0098] The third embodiment: The end of the first moving member 31 away from the second moving member 32 can rotate around the circumference of the first rod 4, and the end of the second moving member 32 away from the first moving member 31 can rotate around the circumference of the second rod 5. When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the first moving member 31 rotates around the circumference of the first rod 4 and the second moving member 32 rotates around the circumference of the second rod 5 to adapt to the vibration position changes of the barrel assembly 2. In this embodiment, the vibration reduction assembly 3 has at least the degree of freedom of circumferential rotation around the first rod 4, the degree of freedom of circumferential rotation around the second rod 5, and the degree of freedom of relative rotation between the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32.
[0099] The installation method of the first rod body 4 on the barrel assembly 2 is not limited.
[0100] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1 , the barrel assembly 2 includes at least two mounting blocks 21 protruding from the circumferential outer wall of the barrel assembly 2 , the two mounting blocks 21 are spaced apart in the height direction, both ends of the first rod body 4 are fixed to the mounting blocks 21 , and the first moving part 31 is sleeved on the portion of the first rod body 4 located between the two mounting blocks 21 .
[0101] In this way, the stability of the first rod 4 fixed to the barrel assembly 2 can be increased, the probability of the first rod 4 escaping from the barrel assembly 2 can be reduced, and the probability of the first moving member 31 escaping from the first rod 4 can also be reduced.
[0102] The specific structure of the first rod body 4 is not limited.
[0103] For example, the first rod body 4 can be a fixing pin. During installation, the first rod body 4 is passed through the two mounting blocks 21. A screw is provided at the upper mounting block 21, and the screw abuts against the top end of the first rod body 4 to reduce the probability of the first rod body 4 falling off the mounting block 21.
[0104] The second rod 5 may be disposed at any position as long as it is disposed outside the barrel assembly 2 .
[0105] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1, 9, and 13, the clothing processing device 100 includes a plurality of suspension rods 6, one end of the suspension rod 6 is connected to the barrel assembly 2, and the other end of the suspension rod 6 is connected to the box body 1, so that the barrel assembly 2 is suspended on the box body 1 through the plurality of suspension rods 6.
[0106] Specifically, the top end of the hanger 6 is fixed to the box body 1, and the bottom end of the hanger 6 is fixed to the barrel assembly 2. The number of the hangers 6 can be four, and the top ends of the four hangers 6 correspond to the four corners of the top end of the box body 1, and the bottom ends of the four hangers 6 are fixed to the side walls of the barrel assembly 2 corresponding to the four corners of the box body 1. In this way, each hanger 6 can evenly share the weight of the barrel assembly 2, thereby increasing the installation stability of the clothing processing device 100.
[0107] In some examples, referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 9 , and FIG. 13 , the second rod body 5 is a part of the suspension rod 6 .
[0108] In this embodiment, the first moving member 31 is connected to the tub assembly 2 via the first rod 4, and the second moving member 32 is connected to the suspension rod 6. There is sufficient installation space between the tub assembly 2 and the suspension rod 6 to accommodate the vibration-damping assembly 3. The suspension rod 6 has sufficient structural strength to provide movement support for the vibration-damping assembly 3. The end of the vibration-damping assembly 3 connected to the suspension rod 6 will not fall out of the suspension rod 6, thereby increasing the installation stability of the vibration-damping assembly 3. In addition, the vibration-damping assembly 3 is not directly connected to the housing 1. The vibration energy of the tub assembly 2 is transmitted to the housing 1 via the vibration-damping assembly 3 and the suspension rod 6, which can reduce the vibration energy received by the housing 1 and increase the operational stability of the clothing processing apparatus 100.
[0109] Of course, in other embodiments, the second rod 5 may also be connected to the suspension rod 6. The suspension rod 6 can provide support for the second rod 5, thereby providing sufficient support for the second moving member 32.
[0110] It is understood that the suspension rod 6 may also be provided with a vibration-damping structure to cushion the vibration of the tub assembly 2. For example, referring to FIG1 , the laundry processing apparatus 100 includes a damping cylinder 63, a base 64 disposed at the bottom end of the suspension rod 6, and a vibration-damping spring 62. The vibration-damping spring 62 is disposed through the suspension rod 6 and sandwiched between the damping cylinder 63 and the base 64. A connecting slot 2a is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the bottom end of the tub assembly 2, which is mounted on the damping cylinder 63. Specifically, the damping cylinder 63 is mounted on the suspension rod 6, and the vibration-damping spring 62 is a compression spring, with one end of the vibration-damping spring 62 abutting the bottom end of the damping cylinder 63 and the other end abutting the base 64. In this way, when the tub assembly 2 vibrates during the washing or dehydration process, the vibration-damping spring 62 slides up and down along the suspension rod 6 to absorb the longitudinal vibration energy of the tub assembly 2, thereby reducing the vibration noise of the housing 1 and increasing the operational stability of the laundry processing apparatus 100.
[0111] There is no limit to the number of vibration-damping components 3. For example, please refer to Figure 2. There are four vibration-damping components 3 and four first rod bodies 4. One end of the four vibration-damping components 3 is connected to the first rod body 4, and the other end is connected to the suspension rod 6. Therefore, the vibration-damping components 3 can evenly and fully buffer the vibration of the barrel component 2 from different directions, increase the vibration-damping effect, and improve the operating safety of the clothing processing device 100.
[0112] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 16, the clothing processing device 100 includes a workbench 7, which is arranged at the top of the box body 1, one end of the second rod body 5 is connected to the workbench 7, and the other end extends downward from the workbench 7 to form a suspended free end, or, after extending downward, is connected to the lower part or bottom plate of the box body 1, and the second moving part 32 is connected to the workbench 7 through the second rod body 5.
[0113] It can be understood that the workbench 7 is located on the top side of the box body 1, and the workbench 7 has a clothing loading port connected to the clothing processing chamber, that is, the clothes to be washed can be put into the clothing processing chamber from the top side through the clothing loading port, and the washed clothes can also be taken out from the clothing processing chamber through the clothing loading port.
[0114] In this embodiment, the first moving part 31 is connected to the barrel assembly 2 through the first rod body 4, and the second moving part 32 is connected to the workbench 7 through the second rod body 5. The barrel assembly 2 and the workbench 7 jointly provide installation support for the vibration damping assembly 3 to increase the installation stability and movement stability of the vibration damping assembly 3. In addition, the vibration damping assembly 3 is not directly connected to the box body 1. The vibration energy of the barrel assembly 2 is transmitted to the box body 1 through the vibration damping assembly 3 and the workbench 7. The workbench 7 can share part of the vibration energy for the box body 1, reduce the vibration noise of the box body 1, and increase the operation stability of the clothing processing device 100.
[0115] In addition, the second rod body 5 extends downward from the workbench 7, and the axis of the second rod body 5 is along the height direction. In the embodiment where the second moving part 32 rotates circumferentially around the second rod body 5, the second moving part 32 is facilitated to rotate circumferentially around the second rod body 5, reducing the rotational resistance.
[0116] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 17 to 19, the clothing processing device 100 includes a mounting base 11, the mounting base 11 is arranged on the inner side of the box body 1, at least one end of the second rod body 5 is arranged on the mounting base 11, and the second moving part 32 is connected to the box body 1 through the second rod body 5.
[0117] In this embodiment, the first moving part 31 is connected to the barrel assembly 2 through the first rod body 4, and the second moving part 32 is connected to the box body 1 through the second rod body 5, so as to connect the vibration damping assembly 3 to the barrel assembly 2 and the box body 1 respectively. The barrel assembly 2 and the box body 1 jointly provide support for the vibration damping assembly 3. In this way, the vibration damping assembly 3 has sufficient installation space and movement space to facilitate buffering the vibration of the barrel assembly 2.
[0118] In some embodiments, one of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 has a degree of freedom of movement in an up-down direction.
[0119] That is, the first moving member 31 is sleeved on one end of the first rod 4 and can slide up and down along the first rod 4 , or the second moving member 32 is sleeved on one end of the second rod 5 and can slide along the extension direction of the second rod 5 .
[0120] In this embodiment, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, while the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 rotate relative to each other, the first moving part 31 can move up and down relative to the first rod body 4 or the second moving part 32 can move up and down relative to the second rod body 5, so as to further adapt to the vibration position changes of the barrel assembly 2 and reduce the probability of the vibration damping assembly 3 getting stuck.
[0121] In the embodiment where the first moving member 31 can rotate around the first rod 4 and the second moving member 31 can rotate around the second rod 5, the vibration reduction assembly 3 has at least four degrees of freedom of movement, further reducing the probability of movement jamming.
[0122] In some embodiments, one of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 has the freedom to swing up and down.
[0123] That is, the first moving member 31 can swing up and down relative to the first rod 4 , or the second moving member 32 can swing up and down relative to the second rod 5 .
[0124] In this embodiment, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, while the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 rotate relative to each other, the first moving part 31 can swing up and down relative to the first rod body 4 or the second moving part 32 can swing up and down relative to the second rod body 5, so as to further adapt to the vibration position changes of the barrel assembly 2 and reduce the probability of the vibration damping assembly 3 getting stuck.
[0125] It can be understood that in an embodiment where the first moving part 31 is capable of rotating circumferentially around the first rod body 4, the second moving part 31 is capable of rotating circumferentially around the second rod body 5, and one of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 has the freedom to move, one of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 has the freedom to swing up and down, and the vibration damping assembly 3 has at least five degrees of freedom, further reducing the probability of the vibration damping assembly 3 being stuck in motion.
[0126] It can be understood that the first moving part 31 can have the freedom to slide up and down and to swing up and down, or the second moving part 32 can have the freedom to slide up and down and to swing up and down, or one of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 can have the freedom to slide up and down, and the other can have the freedom to swing up and down, and there is no limitation here.
[0127] There is no limit to the way of achieving the up and down movement and the up and down swinging.
[0128] For example, in some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 8, the first moving member 31 includes a first connecting seat 311, a first connecting structure 312, and a first connecting portion 313. The first connecting seat 311 is disposed at one end of the first connecting structure 312, and the first connecting portion 313 is disposed at the other end of the first connecting structure 312. The first connecting portion 313 is sleeved on the first rod 4 and can rotate around the circumference of the first rod 4 and slide up and down along the first rod 4. The first connecting structure 312 and the first connecting portion 313 are rotatably connected, and their rotation axes are perpendicular to the axis of the first rod 4, so that the first connecting structure 312 can swing up and down relative to the first connecting portion 313. In this way, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the first moving member 31 has circumferential rotational freedom, vertical movement freedom, and vertical swinging freedom.
[0129] In this embodiment, the entire second moving member 32 can be used as a rigid component and has only one rotational degree of freedom.
[0130] It should be noted that a rigid component is a single element of a mechanism, a rigid body that has considerable motion with an adjacent component. A rigid component is a basic unit that constitutes a mechanism in mechanics and has a definite relative motion relationship with each other.
[0131] The second moving member 32 may be an integral component with a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.
[0132] In some other embodiments, please refer to Figures 9 to 12, the second moving member 32 has a first hole 32a at one end away from the first moving member 31, and the second rod body 5 is slidably penetrated into the first hole 32a, and the hole wall of the first hole 32a extends toward the axis of the first hole 32a from the opposite ends of the first hole 32a along its axial direction to the middle position of the first hole 32a along its axial direction. In this way, the second moving member 32 can rotate around the circumference of the second rod body 5, slide along the extension direction of the second rod body 5, and swing up and down relative to the second rod body 5.
[0133] That is to say, the aperture of the first hole 32a gradually decreases from the opposite ends of the first hole 32a along its axial direction toward the middle position of the first hole 32a along its axial direction. The aperture of the first hole 32a at the middle position of the axial direction is smaller than the aperture of the first hole 32a at the two ends of the axial direction. The aperture of the first hole 32a is roughly larger at the two ends and smaller in the middle.
[0134] In this embodiment, the gap between the second rod body 5 and the hole wall of the first hole 32a gradually increases from the middle position of the first hole 32a along its axial direction toward the opposite ends of the first hole 32a along its axial direction. Therefore, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the second moving part 32 slides up and down along the second rod body 5 and rotates circumferentially around the second rod body 5. The first hole 32a can also provide space for the second moving part 32 to swing up and down. In this way, multiple movement modes can be achieved only through the cooperation between the first hole 32a and the second rod body 5, reducing the probability of the second moving part 32 and the second rod body 5 getting stuck, and the overall structure of the vibration damping assembly 3 can also be simpler.
[0135] In this embodiment, the entire first moving member 31 can be used as a rigid component and has only one rotational degree of freedom.
[0136] The first moving member 31 may be an integral component with a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.
[0137] In some further embodiments, referring to Figures 13 to 15 , the second moving member 32 includes a seat sleeve 323 and a connector 322. The connector 322 is provided with a through hole 322a. The second rod 5 is slidably inserted into the through hole 322a. The seat sleeve 323 has a receiving cavity 323a. At least a portion of the connector 322 is received in the receiving cavity 323a. The surfaces of the connector 322 and the receiving cavity 323a at the contacting portions are spherical, so that the seat sleeve 323 can swing universally around the connector 322. In this way, the second moving member 32 has sliding freedom, circumferential rotation freedom, and up and down swinging freedom.
[0138] It should be noted that the connector 322 can be partially or entirely accommodated in the accommodating cavity 323a. The shape of the connector 322 is not limited. It can be a spherical ball head structure or a combination of a spherical structure and other structures. For example, referring to Figure 15, the connector 322 has a spherical head structure.
[0139] The seat cover 323 can swing universally around the connector 322 , which means that the seat cover 323 can freely rotate around the connector 322 in a random direction in a three-dimensional space.
[0140] When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, under the action of vibration, the connecting head 322 drives the seat cover 323 to slide along the extension direction of the second rod body 5. Under the action of vibration, the seat cover 323 swings in all directions around the connecting head 322 to adapt to the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2 in different vibration directions, thereby reducing the probability of the vibration damping assembly 3 getting stuck.
[0141] Exemplarily, the connector 322 is rotatably engaged with the second rod 5 along the circumferential direction, that is, the connector 322 slides along the extension direction of the second rod 5 without rotating around the circumference of the second rod 5. In this way, the movement stability of the second moving member 32 is increased.
[0142] In this embodiment, the first moving member 31 may be a rigid member and has only one degree of freedom of movement.
[0143] Of course, the first moving member 31 may also include a sliding portion and a universal joint, which cooperate to achieve vertical movement and universal swing. The sliding portion is mounted on the outer periphery of the first rod 4 and can slide up and down relative to the first rod 4, and is engaged with the circumferential rotation stop of the first rod 4. One end of the universal joint is connected to the sliding portion and can swing universally around the sliding portion, thereby providing the first moving member 31 with both sliding and universal swinging degrees of freedom.
[0144] It can be understood that when the second rod body 5 is part of the hanger 6, the clothing processing device 100 can also include an adapter, which is mounted on the hanger 6, and the second moving part 32 is mounted on the adapter, that is, the second moving part 32 is not in direct contact with the hanger 6. Through the cooperation between the second moving part 32 and the adapter, for example, the second moving part 32 can rotate around the circumference of the adapter, thereby realizing the circumferential rotation around the hanger 6, or the second moving part 32 can rotate around the circumference of the hanger 6 under the drive of the adapter; of course, the second moving part 32 can also move up and down and / or swing up and down relative to the adapter, so as to adapt to the vibration position change of the barrel assembly 2. The adapter can reduce the probability of the second moving part 32 being damaged by direct contact with the hanger 6 during movement, increase the service life of the second moving part 32, and improve the structural reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.
[0145] It is understandable that the first moving part 31 can slide up and down and swing up and down with reference to the setting mode of the above-mentioned second moving part 32, and the second moving part 32 can also slide up and down and swing up and down with reference to the setting mode of the above-mentioned first moving part 31, and no limitation is made here.
[0146] The specific structures of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 are not limited.
[0147] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 6 and 8, the first moving part 31 includes a first connecting seat 311, the second moving part 32 includes a second connecting seat 321, the first connecting seat 311 includes a first annular portion 3111, the second connecting seat 321 includes a second annular portion 3211, the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211 are nested and have an annular space in the radial direction, and the friction part 33 is arranged in the annular space.
[0148] It should be noted that the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211 are annular structures that are connected end to end and have no gaps in the circumferential direction. The nested arrangement of the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211 means that the first annular portion 3111 is embedded in the second annular portion 3211, or the second annular portion 3211 is embedded in the first annular portion 3111; the annular space is the space between the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211. The friction member 33 is disposed in the annular space, that is, the friction member 33 is disposed between the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211. When the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 rotate relative to each other, the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211 rotate relative to each other, thereby rubbing against the friction member 33 to generate friction force.
[0149] In this embodiment, the first moving part 31, the second moving part 32 and the friction part 33 are connected together by the nesting cooperation of the first annular part 3111 and the second annular part 3211. The overall structure of the vibration damping assembly 3 is simple and easy to install, and the probability of damage to the friction part 33 during the assembly process can also be reduced.
[0150] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5 to 8, the first connecting seat 311 includes a first end plate 3112 connected to the first annular portion 3111, and the second connecting seat 321 includes a second end plate 3212 connected to the second annular portion 3211. The first end plate 3112 and the second end plate 3212 are arranged in parallel, and the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211 are located between the first end plate 3112 and the second end plate 3212.
[0151] It should be noted that the parallel arrangement of the first end plate 3112 and the second end plate 3212 refers to the positional relationship between the first end plate 3112 and the second end plate 3212 after the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 are connected.
[0152] In this embodiment, the first end plate 3112 and the second end plate 3212 can provide support for the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211. The first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211 are confined between the first end plate 3112 and the second end plate 3212, thereby increasing the docking stability of the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211 and reducing the chance of loosening of the docking of the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211. Furthermore, the probability of the friction member 33 escaping from the annular space is reduced, and the friction member 33 is isolated from other components outside the vibration damping assembly 3, thereby improving the installation stability of the vibration damping assembly 3. Furthermore, the first end plate 3112 and the second end plate 3212 are arranged in parallel, further increasing the smoothness of the relative rotation of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32.
[0153] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5 to 8, the second annular portion 3211 surrounds the outer circumference of the first annular portion 3111, the second end plate 3212 is provided with a through hole 3212a, and the first connecting seat 311 also includes one or more elastic hooks 3113 passing through the internal space of the first annular portion 3111, one end of the elastic hook 3113 is connected to the first end plate 3112, and the other end passes through the through hole 3212a and is connected to the surface of the second end plate 3212 away from the side of the first end plate 3112.
[0154] The elastic hook 3113 refers to a structure that has elasticity and can be deformed.
[0155] Specifically, when the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 are docked, the friction part 33 is first set on the outer periphery of the first annular part 3111, and then the through hole 3212a of the second annular part 3211 is passed from top to bottom through the elastic hook 3113. During the insertion process, the elastic hook 3113 undergoes elastic deformation. When the second annular part 3211 completely surrounds the outer periphery of the first annular part 3111, the elastic hook 3113 extends out of the through hole 3212a, restores the deformation, and abuts against the side of the second end plate 3212 away from the first end plate 3112, thereby connecting the first connecting seat 311 and the second connecting seat 321 together, reducing the probability of the second connecting seat 321 falling off the first connecting seat 311, and increasing the installation stability of the vibration damping assembly 3.
[0156] The number of the elastic hooks 3113 is not limited, and can be one, two, or more than three. For example, referring to FIG. 7 , the number of the elastic hooks 3113 is three.
[0157] Of course, in other embodiments, the first annular portion 3111 surrounds the outer circumference of the second annular portion 3211, the first end plate 3112 is provided with a through hole, and the second connecting seat 321 includes one or more elastic hooks passing through the internal space of the second annular portion 3211, one end of the elastic hook is connected to the second end plate 3212, and the other end passes through the through hole and is connected to the surface of the first end plate 3112 away from the second end plate 3212.
[0158] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5 to 8, the first connecting seat 311 also includes a limiting structure 3114, which is arranged on the first end plate 3112 and is located on the circumferential outside of the first annular portion 3111. The limiting structure 3114 is used to cooperate with the second moving part 32 along the circumferential stop to limit the maximum rotation angle of the second moving part 32 when it rotates relative to the first moving part 31.
[0159] It should be noted that, in the initial state, the angle between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 is the first angle. The initial state is the position of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 when the barrel assembly 2 is in a stationary state. When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the second moving part 32 rotates relative to the first moving part 31. When the second moving part 32 abuts against the limiting structure 3114, the angle between the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 is the second angle. The maximum rotation angle of the second moving part 32 relative to the first moving part 31 is the difference between the second angle and the first angle. The angle between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 is the angle between the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the first moving part 31 and the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the second moving part 32.
[0160] It can be understood that when the barrel assembly vibrates and deflects, the first moving part and the second moving part rotate relative to each other under the action of vibration. When the rotation position of the second moving part relative to the first moving part exceeds the critical position, the resistance of the first moving part and the second moving part to return to the initial state is greatly increased, so that they cannot move adaptively according to the change of the vibration position of the barrel assembly, resulting in the inability to effectively suppress the vibration of the barrel assembly and reducing the vibration reduction reliability of the vibration reduction assembly.
[0161] In this embodiment, when the second moving part 32 rotates to the maximum rotation angle relative to the first moving part 31, the second moving part 32 cooperates with the limit structure 3114 to stop it, and the limit structure 3114 prevents the second moving part 32 from rotating in the direction of increasing the relative rotation angle, so as to control the rotation angle of the second moving part 32 relative to the first moving part 31 within an appropriate range, thereby reducing the resistance of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 to return to their initial state, and increasing the vibration reduction reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.
[0162] Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting structure can be provided on the second connecting seat 321, and the limiting structure is provided on the second end plate 3212 and is located on the circumferential outside of the second annular portion 3211. The limiting structure is used to cooperate with the first moving part 31 along the circumferential stop to limit the maximum rotation angle of the first moving part 31 when it rotates relative to the second moving part 32.
