[0085] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

For example, different embodiments and technical solutions may be formed by combining different specific technical features. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in the present invention will not be described separately.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 1. An embodiment of the present application provides a vibration damping assembly 3, which includes a first moving member 31 and a second moving member 32. The first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 are rotatably connected and define a first rotation axis L2. A first through hole 313a is provided at one end of the first moving member 31 away from the first rotation axis L2. The first through hole 313a is used to be directly or indirectly connected to the housing 1 of the clothing processing device 100. A second through hole 323a is provided at one end of the second moving member 32 away from the first rotation axis L2. The second through hole 323a is used to be connected to the barrel assembly 2 of the clothing processing device 100.

[0090] That is, the vibration damping assembly 3 is arranged between the housing 1 and the barrel assembly 2. The vibration damping assembly 3 is used to absorb the vibration energy of the barrel assembly 2 when the clothing processing device 100 is in the washing or dehydration state, thereby reducing the probability of the barrel assembly 2 colliding with the housing 1.

[0091] It should be noted that the first through hole 313a is used to directly or indirectly connect with the housing 1 of the clothing processing device 100. The first rod body 4 described below can be arranged in the first through hole 313a, so that the first moving part 31 can at least rotate around the circumference of the first rod body 4.

[0092] Similarly, the second through hole 323a is used to connect with the barrel assembly 2 of the clothing processing device 100. The second rod body 5 described below can be arranged in the second through hole 323a, so that the second moving part 32 can at least rotate around the circumference of the second rod body 5.

[0093] It should be noted that the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 are rotationally connected and define a first rotation axis L2, which means that at least one of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 can rotate around the first rotation axis L2, thereby causing the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 to rotate relative to each other.

[0094] For example, the axis of the first through hole 313a and the axis of the second through hole 323a are coplanar, that is, the axis of the first rod 4 and the axis of the second rod 5 are coplanar.

[0095] When the barrel assembly 2 is dehydrating, the centrifugal force causes the barrel assembly 2 to vibrate significantly in the circumferential direction, so effective circumferential vibration reduction is required. In the embodiment of the present application, the coplanar arrangement of the axes of the first rod 4 and the second rod 5 helps to better absorb the circumferential vibration of the barrel assembly 2, thereby reducing the vibration energy transmitted to the housing 1 and providing a more effective vibration reduction effect.

[0096] For ease of description, the axis of the first through hole 313a and the axis of the second through hole 323a are defined as being coplanar and defining a first plane, that is, the plane defined by the axis of the first rod 4 and the axis of the second rod 5 is the first plane.

[0097] The positional relationship between the first rotation axis L2 and the first plane is not limited, as long as the relative rotation between the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 is adaptively changed with the vibration of the barrel assembly 2 .

[0098] In some embodiments, the first rotation axis L2 is parallel to the first plane, or the angle formed by the first rotation axis L2 and the first plane is less than 90°. That is, the first rotation axis L2 is not perpendicular to the first plane, so that when the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 rotate relative to each other, the force component on the plane intersecting the first plane can be increased to a certain extent, so that the vibration reduction assembly 3 can better absorb the vibration of the barrel assembly 2.

[0099] It should be noted that the angle formed by the intersection of the first rotation axis L2 and the first plane refers to the acute angle formed by the intersection of the extension line of the first rotation axis L2 and the first plane.

[0100] In the vibration damping assembly 3 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the axis of the first through hole 313a and the axis of the second through hole 323a are arranged in the same plane, so that the axis of the first rod body 4 and the axis of the second rod body 5 are arranged in the same plane. Since the axis of the first rod body 4 and the axis of the second rod body 5 are arranged in the same plane, it helps to better absorb the circumferential vibration of the barrel assembly 2, helps to reduce the vibration energy transmitted to the box body 1, and thus provides a more effective vibration damping effect. Moreover, the first rotation axis L2 is not perpendicular to the first plane, so that when the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 rotate relative to each other, they can increase the component force on the plane intersecting with the first plane to a certain extent, so that the vibration damping assembly 3 can better absorb the vibration of the barrel assembly 2.

[0101] Based on the vibration damping assembly 3 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the embodiment of the present application also provides a clothing processing device 100, referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3. The clothing processing device 100 includes a box body 1, a barrel assembly 2, a drainage device and a vibration damping device 300, wherein the vibration damping device 300 includes a first rod body 4, a second rod body 5 and the vibration damping assembly 3 provided in any embodiment of the present application.

[0102] The barrel assembly 2 is disposed in the housing 1. The housing 1 can provide accommodation and protection for the barrel assembly 2, isolating the barrel assembly 2 from the outside world, reducing the chance of external dust and other impurities coming into contact with the barrel assembly 2. When the clothes processing device 100 is impacted, the housing 1 can also effectively withstand external impacts, reducing the chance of damage to the barrel assembly 2.

[0103] 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.

[0104] It can be understood that when the barrel assembly 2 includes an inner barrel and an outer barrel, the second moving part 32 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. The second moving part 32 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.

[0105] In this embodiment, the barrel assembly 2 including an inner barrel and an outer barrel is taken as an example for description.

[0106] In the prior art, when the clothing processing device is in the washing or dehydration mode, the inner drum rotates, and the clothes in the inner drum will shift during the rotation of the inner drum, causing the center of gravity of the inner drum to shift, thereby causing the inner drum to rotate eccentrically, resulting in vibration and deflection of the outer drum. When the eccentricity of the inner drum rotation increases, the amplitude of the outer drum will also increase accordingly, making it easy for the drum assembly to hit the box body, affecting the dehydration process.

[0107] The drainage device is communicated with the barrel assembly 2 and is used to drain the water in the barrel assembly 2. That is, the drainage device can drain the water in the barrel assembly 2 in time.

[0108] Please refer to Figure 2. The vibration damping device 300 connects the barrel assembly 2 and the box body 1. The vibration damping device 300 is used to absorb the vibration energy of the barrel assembly 2 during washing or dehydration, reduce the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2, and reduce the probability of the barrel assembly 2 hitting the box body 1.

[0109] Please refer to Figure 1. The vibration reduction device 300 includes a first rod body 4, a second rod body 5 and the vibration reduction assembly 3 provided in any embodiment of the present application. The first rod body 4 is arranged in the first through hole 313a, and the first moving member 31 can at least rotate around the circumference of the first rod body 4. The second rod body 5 is arranged in the second through hole 323a, and the second moving member 32 can at least rotate around the circumference of the second rod body 5.

[0110] That is, the vibration damping assembly 3 is directly or indirectly connected to the box body 1 through the first rod body 4 , and is connected to the barrel assembly 2 through the second rod body 5 .

[0111] It should be noted that the vibration damping assembly 3 is directly or indirectly connected to the box body 1 through the first rod body 4, which means that the setting position of the first rod body 4 is not limited. For example, it can be directly connected to the box body 1 as a part of the suspension rod 6 described below, or it can be directly connected to the box body by the mounting seat set on the box body 1 described below, or it can be indirectly connected to the box body by being connected to the suspension rod 6 described below, or it can be indirectly connected to the box body 1 by being connected to the workbench 9 described below, or it can be other connection methods, as long as the box body 1 can provide support for the first rod body 4.

[0112] It should be noted that there are at least two situations in which the first moving member 31 is at least able to rotate circumferentially around the first rod 4 .

[0113] The first type: the first moving member 31 can rotate around the circumference of the first rod 4. In this way, the first moving member 31 has at least one degree of rotational freedom.

[0114] The second type: the first moving member 31 can rotate around the circumference of the first rod 4 and slide along the extension direction of the first rod 4. In this way, the first moving member 31 has at least one rotational degree of freedom and one sliding degree of freedom.

[0115] It should be noted that the structure of the first rod 4 is not limited, and refers to a structure that enables the first moving member 31 to rotate circumferentially around the first rod 4. The first rod 4 can be a slender rod or a pin shaft.

[0116] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG5 , the sidewall structure of the first through hole 313 a is further provided with a first through groove 313 b , and the first through groove 313 b passes through end surfaces at two opposite axial ends of the first through hole 313 a .

[0117] It should be noted that the first through-slot 313b penetrates the end surfaces of the first through-hole 313a at two opposite axial ends, which means that the first through-hole 313a and the first through-slot 313b have a certain elastic deformation capability.

[0118] In this embodiment, during the process of the first through hole 313a being penetrated by the first rod body 4, or when the first moving member 31 moves relative to the first rod body 4, the first through hole 313a and the first through groove 313b can undergo elastic deformation to adapt to the size of the aperture of the first through hole 313a required when the first rod body 4 is installed or when the first moving member 31 moves relative to the first rod body 4.

[0119] It should be noted that the second moving member 32 can at least rotate around the circumference of the second rod 5 , which includes at least two situations.

[0120] The first type: the second moving member 32 can rotate around the circumference of the second rod 5. In this way, the second moving member 32 has at least one degree of rotational freedom.

[0121] The second type: the second moving member 32 can rotate around the circumference of the second rod 5 and slide along the extension direction of the second rod 5. In this way, the second moving member 32 has at least one rotational degree of freedom and one sliding degree of freedom.

[0122] It should be noted that the structure of the second rod 5 is not limited, and refers to a structure that enables the second moving member 32 to rotate circumferentially around the second rod 5. The second rod 5 can be a slender rod or a pin shaft such as a fixed pin.

[0123] In some embodiments, the second rod 5 extends in the height direction and is fixed to the circumferential outer side of the barrel assembly 2. In other words, the axis of the second rod 5 is parallel to the height direction, and the axis of the second rod 5 is parallel to the axis of the barrel assembly 2. There is no relative movement between the second rod 5 and the barrel assembly 2, and movement of the barrel assembly 2 can drive the second rod 5 to move synchronously.

[0124] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the height direction is consistent with the up-down direction and the top-bottom direction.

[0125] In some embodiments, the second moving member 32 has a first connecting portion 323 having a second through hole 323 a . The first connecting portion 323 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second rod 5 , that is, the first connecting portion 323 can rotate around the second rod 5 .

[0126] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 323 can slide up and down along the second rod 5 .

[0127] In this embodiment, the first connection portion 323 has at least two degrees of freedom of movement.

[0128] In this embodiment, the second moving part 32 is connected to the barrel assembly 2 through the second rod 5. When the clothing processing device 100 is in the washing or dehydration state, the barrel assembly 2 drives the second rod 5 to vibrate synchronously, and the second rod 5 transfers the vibration energy to the first connecting part 323. Under the action of vibration, the first connecting part 323 can slide up and down relative to the second rod 5 while also being able to rotate circumferentially around the second rod 5 to adapt to the changes in different vibration directions of the barrel assembly 2. In this way, the movement smoothness of the vibration damping assembly 3 can be further increased and the probability of the vibration damping assembly 3 being stuck can be reduced.

[0129] In addition, the vibration of the barrel assembly 2 can also force the vibration damping assembly 3 to absorb vibration energy and suppress the vibration amplitude of the barrel assembly 2.

[0130] Taking a pulsator-type clothing processing device as an example, when the external dimensions of the cabinet remain unchanged, as the washing volume increases, the gap between the barrel assembly and the cabinet becomes smaller and smaller. During the washing or dehydration process, the barrel assembly will vibrate and deflect, and easily hit the cabinet, affecting the safety of the clothing processing device.

[0131] To reduce the vibration amplitude of the tub assembly, clothing 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 damper's end, connected to the tub assembly, has virtually no travel relative to the tub assembly. When the tub assembly vibrates violently, it cannot adapt to the vibration displacement of the tub assembly, resulting in movement stagnation and reduced vibration damping effectiveness.

[0132] In the clothing processing device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the second moving part 32 adapts to the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2 in different vibration directions by sliding up and down along the second rod body 5 through the first connecting part 323 and rotating circumferentially around the second rod body 5. The second moving part 32 has a sufficient movement stroke and can move adaptively when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates violently, with a low probability of getting stuck, thereby facilitating the vibration damping component 3 to cushion the vibration of the barrel assembly 2 and reducing the probability of the barrel assembly 2 colliding with the box body 1.

[0133] It should be noted that the extension length of the second rod 5 is not limited, but it can at least meet the movement stroke required for the first connecting portion 323 to slide up and down.

[0134] Exemplarily, the extension length of the second rod 5 is 1.5 to 5 times the length of the first connecting portion 323 in the extension direction of the second rod 5. For example, 1.5 times, 1.8 times, 2 times, 2.5 times, 2.7 times, 3 times, 3.2 times, 3.6 times, 4 times, 4.5 times, 5 times, etc.

[0135] In this way, the extension length of the second rod body 5 can satisfy the sliding stroke of the first connecting part 323 while the sliding stroke of the first connecting part 323 can also be maintained within an appropriate range, so that the first connecting part 323 can return to a stationary position with the barrel assembly 2, thereby increasing the vibration reduction reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.

[0136] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 323 can drive the entire vibration reduction assembly 3 to swing up and down relative to the second rod 5. In this embodiment, the vibration reduction assembly 3 connected to one end of the barrel assembly 2 can not only slide up and down relative to the second rod 5, but also rotate around the circumference of the second rod 5 and swing up and down relative to the second rod 5. This improves the movement smoothness of the vibration reduction assembly 3, further adapts to the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2 in different vibration directions, and improves the movement reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.

[0137] There is no limitation on the manner in which the first connecting portion 323 slides up and down along the second rod 5 , rotates around the circumference of the second rod 5 , and drives the entire vibration reduction assembly 3 to swing up and down relative to the second rod 5 .

[0138] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 26 and 27, the first connecting portion 323 has a second through hole 323a, and the first connecting portion 323 rotates around the circumference of the second rod body 5 through the second through hole 323a. From the opposite ends of the second through hole 323a along its axial direction toward the middle position of the second through hole 323a along its axial direction, the hole wall of the second through hole 323a extends toward the axis of the second through hole 323a, so that the hole wall of the second through hole 323a and the second rod body 5 can swing relative to each other in the up and down directions.

[0139] That is to say, the aperture of the second through hole 323a gradually decreases from the opposite two ends of the second through hole 323a along its axial direction toward the middle position of the second through hole 323a along its axial direction. The aperture of the second through hole 323a at the middle position of the axial direction is smaller than the aperture of the second through hole 323a at the two ends of the axial direction. The aperture of the second through hole 323a is roughly larger at the two ends and smaller in the middle.

[0140] In this embodiment, the gap between the second rod 5 and the wall of the second through hole 323a gradually increases from the middle position of the second through hole 323a along its axial direction toward the opposite ends of the second through hole 323a. Therefore, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the first connecting portion 323 slides up and down along the second rod 5 and rotates circumferentially around the second rod 5. The second through hole 323a can also provide space for the first connecting portion 323 to swing up and down. In this way, multiple movement modes of the first connecting portion 323 are achieved solely through the cooperation between the second through hole 323a and the second rod 5, reducing the probability of the first connecting portion 323 getting stuck, and the overall structure of the vibration damping assembly 3 can also be simplified. In addition, the aperture of the second through hole 323a is the smallest at the middle position of the axial direction, which also facilitates increasing the assembly stability of the second through hole 323a and the second rod 5.

[0141] In other embodiments, please refer to Figures 24 and 25, the first connecting part 323 includes a connecting head 3232 and a seat body 3231, the connecting head 3232 is provided with a second through hole 323a, the second rod body 5 is slidably penetrated into the second through hole 323a, the seat body 3231 is connected to the rest of the vibration damping assembly 3, the seat body 3231 has a accommodating cavity, at least part of the connecting head 3232 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity, and the surfaces of the contact parts of the connecting head 3232 and the accommodating cavity are formed as spherical surfaces, so that the seat body 3231 can swing around the connecting head 3232 in all directions.

[0142] It should be noted that the connector 3232 can be partially or entirely accommodated in the connector accommodating cavity. The shape of the connector 3232 is not limited and can be a spherical ball-shaped structure or a combination of a spherical structure and other structures. As long as the base 3231 can swing universally around the connector 3232, no limitation is imposed. For example, referring to FIG. 25 , the connector 3232 is a spherical ball-shaped structure.

[0143] The ability of the base body 3231 to universally swing around the connector 3232 means that the base body 3231 can freely rotate around the connector 3232 along random directions in three-dimensional space.

[0144] Specifically, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the second rod body 5 transmits the vibration energy to the connecting head 3232. Under the action of vibration, the connecting head 3232 slides up and down along the second rod body 5, and drives the first connecting part 323 to slide up and down along the second rod body 5. The seat body 3231 swings in all directions around the connecting head 3232 under the action of vibration to adapt to the displacement of the barrel assembly 2 in different vibration directions. The first connecting part 323 and the connecting head 3232 have a high degree of smoothness in cooperation, which can reduce the probability of the first connecting part 323 getting stuck, increase the movement reliability of the vibration damping assembly 3, facilitate buffering the vibration of the barrel assembly 2, and reduce the probability of the barrel assembly 2 hitting the box body 1.

[0145] The seat body 3231 and the connector 3232 can be mated in any manner. For example, the seat body 3231 can include two separate seat shells, which together define a receiving cavity for receiving the connector 3232. In this embodiment, the seat body 3231 is a split structure. Thus, when the seat body 3231 and the connector 3232 need to be disconnected, the connection between the two seat shells can be released.

[0146] Of course, the seat body 3231 may also be an integrally formed structure, which is not limited here.

[0147] The installation method of the second rod 5 on the barrel assembly 2 is not limited.

[0148] 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 second rod body 5 are fixed to the mounting blocks 21 . The first connecting portion 323 is sleeved on the portion of the second rod body 5 located between the two mounting blocks 21 .

[0149] In this way, on the one hand, the stability of the second rod body 5 fixed to the barrel assembly 2 can be increased, the probability of the second rod body 5 falling off the barrel assembly 2 can be reduced, and the probability of the first connecting part 323 falling off the second rod body 5 can also be reduced; on the other hand, the movement stroke of the first connecting part 323 sliding up and down along the second rod body 5 is limited between the two mounting blocks 21, which is convenient for limiting the up and down sliding of the first connecting part 323, thereby increasing the movement stability of the first connecting part 323.

[0150] For example, in an embodiment where the second rod 5 is a fixing pin, during installation, the second rod 5 is passed through the two mounting blocks 21 , and a screw is provided at the upper mounting block 21 , which abuts against the top end of the second rod 5 to reduce the chance of the second rod 5 falling off the mounting block 21 .

[0151] For example, the sidewall structure of the second through hole 323a is further provided with a second through slot that extends through the end surfaces of the second through hole 323a at opposite axial ends. Thus, during the process of the second rod 5 penetrating the second through hole 323a, or when the second movable member 32 moves relative to the second rod 5, the second through hole 323a and the second through slot can elastically deform to accommodate the required aperture size of the second through hole 323a during installation of the second rod 5 or movement of the second movable member 32 relative to the second rod 5.

[0152] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6 , a first deformation groove 5 a is provided on the sidewall of the second rod 5. The first deformation groove 5 a allows the second rod 5 to at least partially contract inward, so that the second rod 5 is inserted into the second through hole 323 a and the second moving member 32 can rotate around the circumference of the second rod 5. In this embodiment, the second through groove may not be provided, and the contraction capability of the first deformation groove 5 a is utilized to allow the second rod 5 to be inserted into the second through hole 323 a.

[0153] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6 , the laundry processing apparatus 100 includes a bushing 7 , which is disposed in the second through hole 323 a , and the second rod 5 passes through the bushing 7 and contacts the bushing 7 .

[0154] In this embodiment, the provision of the bushing 7, on the one hand, can facilitate increasing the firmness of insertion of the second rod body 5 in the second through hole 323a; on the other hand, the second rod body 5 contacts the bushing 7, and when the second moving part 32 rotates circumferentially around the second rod body 5, the inner wall of the second through hole 323a does not directly contact and rub against the second rod body 5, thereby reducing the chance of damage to the vibration damping assembly 3 and further preventing the generation of abnormal noise.

[0155] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6 , the clothing processing apparatus 100 further includes a vibration-damping sleeve 8 , the bushing 7 is inserted into the vibration-damping sleeve 8 , and the outer periphery of the vibration-damping sleeve 8 contacts the hole wall of the second through hole 323 a .

[0156] It is understandable that the bushing 7 can be made of metal, the bushing 7 is arranged in the second through hole 323a, and the second rod body 5 is passed through the second through hole 323a. When the second moving part 32 rotates circumferentially around the second rod body 5, the friction with the bushing 7 will also cause damage to the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0157] In this embodiment, the provision of the vibration-damping sleeve 8 can isolate the second through hole 323a from the bushing 7, reducing the contact wear between the inner wall of the second through hole 323a and the bushing 7. In addition, the vibration-damping sleeve 8 can also play a buffering and vibration-damping role, further reducing the chance of noise generation.

[0158] The vibration-damping sleeve 8 can be made of plastic or rubber. When the bushing 7 and the second rod 5 are inserted into the second through hole 323a, the vibration-damping sleeve 8 can be deformed appropriately, and the vibration-damping sleeve 8 is in close contact with the inner wall of the second through hole 323a, the bushing 7 is in close contact with the vibration-damping sleeve 8, and the second rod 5 is in close contact with the bushing 7, thereby achieving a stable fit between the second rod 5 and the second through hole 323a.

[0159] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6 , the sidewall of the bushing 7 is provided with a second deformation groove 7 a , which passes through opposite ends of the sidewall of the bushing 7 in the axial direction, so that the bushing 7 can generate elastic deformation in the radial direction.

[0160] In this embodiment, the setting of the second deformation groove 7a enables the bushing 7 to undergo elastic deformation in the radial direction to press the vibration damping sleeve 8, and the second rod body 5 then contracts inward under the action of the first deformation groove 5a to achieve fit with the bushing 7. In this way, the second moving part 32 can generate almost no impact noise or less impact noise when adapting to the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2 through rotation.

[0161] In some embodiments, the axis of the first rod 4, the axis of the second rod 5 and the axis of the barrel assembly 2 are coplanar. That is, the axis of the barrel assembly 2 is also in the first plane, and the first plane extends in the height direction.

[0162] In this embodiment, since the first plane is along the height direction and the first rotation axis L2 is not perpendicular to the first plane, when the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 rotate relative to each other, they can increase the component force in the horizontal direction to a certain extent, so that the vibration reduction assembly 3 can better absorb the vibration of the barrel assembly 2 in the horizontal direction, which helps to improve the vibration reduction effect.

[0163] When the laundry processing apparatus 100 is operating in the washing or dehydration mode, the vibration of the tub assembly 2 is transmitted to the housing 1 via the second rod 5, the second moving member 32, the first moving member 31, and the first rod 4. The first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 are rotationally connected. That is, the vibration of the tub assembly 2 is transmitted through the relative rotation of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32. This facilitates adaptive movement of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 as the vibration position of the tub assembly 2 changes, thereby increasing the vibration reduction reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3. Furthermore, by appropriately increasing the relative rotational resistance between the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32, vibration of the tub assembly 2 can be cushioned.

[0164] For example, the first rotation axis L2 is substantially parallel to the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2; alternatively, the first rotation axis L2 and the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2 are skewed, and the angle between the first rotation axis L2 and the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2 is less than 90°. In other words, the first rotation axis L2 is angled with the horizontal plane, so that when the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 rotate relative to each other, the horizontal force component is increased to a certain extent, thereby absorbing the horizontal vibration of the barrel assembly 2 to a certain extent, thereby improving the vibration reduction effect.

[0165] It should be noted that the above-mentioned substantially parallel means that the angle between the first rotation axis L2 and the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2 can be 0° or close to 0°, that is, a certain processing and assembly error is allowed.

[0166] Illustratively, the angle between the first rotation axis L2 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. That is, when the angle is within the range of 0° to 5°, they are substantially parallel.

[0167] It is understandable that during washing or dehydration, the barrel assembly 2 will vibrate in both the horizontal and height directions, with the horizontal vibration being the main vibration. The vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2 in the height direction is small and it is not easy to hit the barrel, while the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2 in the horizontal direction is large and it is easy to exceed the horizontal gap between the box body 1 and the barrel assembly 2 and hit the box body 1. Therefore, the horizontal vibration of the barrel assembly 2 needs to be effectively suppressed.

[0168] When the relative rotation axis L2 of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 is basically parallel to the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2, 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. Because the first rotation axis L2 is basically parallel to the height direction, the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 rotate relative to each other roughly in the horizontal direction, that is, the vibration positions of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 change roughly in the horizontal direction, which can basically be used to reduce the horizontal vibration of the barrel assembly 2, effectively suppress the horizontal vibration of the barrel assembly 2, reduce the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2, and reduce the probability of the barrel assembly 2 colliding with the box body 1.

[0169] 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.

[0170] Exemplarily, the height direction is the direction shown in FIG. 1 , FIG. 11 , FIG. 12 and FIG. 28 , including both the direction from top to bottom and the direction from bottom to top.

[0171] It should be noted that there is an angle between the first rotation axis L2 of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 and the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2, and the angle is less than 90°, which means that the first rotation axis L2 is not parallel to and perpendicular to the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2. At this time, the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2 and the first rotation axis L2 are two skew straight lines in space. In this embodiment, the angle between the first rotation axis L2 and the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2 refers to the angle formed by the translated first rotation axis L2 and the barrel assembly 2 in the same plane after the first rotation axis L2 is translated to intersect with the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2. In some embodiments, the angle formed by the intersection of the first rotation axis L2 and the first plane does not exceed 15°. In this embodiment, the first rotation axis L2 is tilted relative to the first plane, and the tilt angle is small, which improves the vibration reduction effect on the circumferential vibration of the barrel assembly 2 and reduces the probability of jamming at the rotation connection between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32.

[0172] In some embodiments, the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 enclose an annular cavity 3a, and the vibration reduction assembly 3 includes a damping member 33, which is arranged in the annular cavity 3a. The damping member 33 is used to provide damping force during the relative rotation of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32.

[0173] The annular cavity 3a is the space between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32. The damping part 33 is arranged in the annular cavity 3a, that is, the damping part 33 is arranged between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32. The annular cavity 3a can provide an installation space for the damping part 33 and can also limit the damping part 33.

[0174] It can be understood that the damping force provided by the damping member 33 is not limited to a certain form. For example, it can be achieved by friction with the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 respectively to generate friction damping, or it can be achieved by utilizing the elastic deformation of the damping member 33 to squeeze the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 to generate elastic damping, or the damping member 33 can generate friction with the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 while also generating elastic deformation.

[0175] In this embodiment, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 rotate relative to each other, and the damping part 33 provides a damping force during the relative rotation of the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 to suppress the vibration of the barrel assembly 2. That is, the damping force reduces the vibration of the barrel assembly 2, so as to achieve vibration buffering of the barrel assembly 2, reduce the vibration energy transmitted from the barrel assembly 2 to the box body 1, and thereby reduce the noise of the entire machine.

[0176] It is understood that the annular cavity 3a can be formed in any manner. For example, the first moving member 31 includes a first annular portion 3111, and the second moving member 32 includes a second annular portion 3211. The first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211 are nested, and the first annular portion 311 and the second annular portion 3211 are radially spaced apart to define the annular cavity 3a. In this case, the annular cavity 3a is the space between the first annular portion 311 and the second annular portion 3211.

[0177] The first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211 are nested, and the first annular portion 3111 can be embedded in the second annular portion 3211 , or the second annular portion 3211 can be embedded in the first annular portion 3111 .

[0178] Please refer to FIG. 8 . In some embodiments, the first annular portion 3111 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the second annular portion 3211 .

[0179] The material of the damping member 33 is not limited. For example, the damping member 33 can be made of a polyurethane foam material with high wear resistance or a soft rubber material with high wear resistance, so that the friction coefficient of the surface of the damping member 33 is high and it can be deformed to cooperate with the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32.

[0180] It should be noted that the damping element 33 may also be referred to as a friction element.

[0181] It is understandable that, in other embodiments, the damping member 33 may also be made of a semi-metallic friction material, etc., to provide friction damping during the relative rotation of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 .

[0182] In some embodiments, the damping member 33 includes a first end surface 331 and a second end surface 332 at opposite ends along the first rotation axis L2. The first end surface 331 faces the top wall of the annular cavity 3a, and the second end surface 332 faces the bottom wall of the annular cavity 3a. The top and bottom walls of the annular cavity 3a can reduce the probability of the damping member 33 detaching from the annular cavity 3a.

[0183] For example, the first end face 331 is spaced apart from the top wall of the annular cavity 3a, and / or the second end face 332 is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the annular cavity 3a. This reduces the probability of the first end face 331 contacting the top wall of the annular cavity 3a to generate a damping force, and / or reduces the probability of the second end face 332 contacting the bottom wall of the annular cavity 3a to generate a damping force. As a result, the damping force is primarily generated by the damping member 33 cooperating with the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 along opposite sides perpendicular to the first rotation axis L2. This facilitates control of the damping force during design and manufacturing, minimizing the deviation between the actual and expected vibration damping performance of the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0184] This embodiment includes the following three situations:

[0185] The first method involves spacing the first end surface 331 from the top wall of the annular cavity 3a, while the second end surface 332 contacts the bottom wall of the annular cavity 3a. In this method, the damping force provided by the damping member 33 is primarily generated by contact between the first and second moving members 31, 32 on opposite sides of the damping member 33 perpendicular to the first rotation axis L2, and by contact between the second end surface 332 and the bottom wall of the annular cavity 3a. This reduces the influence of the first end surface 331 on the damping force, facilitates control of the damping force during design and manufacturing, and helps reduce the deviation between the actual and expected vibration damping performance of the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0186] Second, the second end surface 332 is spaced from the bottom wall of the annular cavity 3a, while the first end surface 331 contacts the top wall of the annular cavity 3a. In this case, the damping force provided by the damping member 33 is primarily generated by the contact between the first and second moving members 31, 32 on opposite sides of the damping member 33 along a direction perpendicular to the first rotation axis L2, and by the contact between the first end surface 331 and the top wall of the annular cavity 3a. This reduces the influence of the second end surface 332 on the damping force, facilitates control of the damping force during design and manufacturing, and helps reduce the deviation between the actual and expected vibration damping performance of the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0187] The third method is to space the first end surface 331 from the top wall of the annular cavity 3a, and the second end surface 332 from the bottom wall of the annular cavity 3a. In this case, the damping force provided by the damping member 33 is primarily generated by contact between the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 on opposite sides of the damping member 33 along a direction perpendicular to the first rotation axis L2. In this case, neither the first end surface 331 nor the second end surface 332 affects the damping force, thereby helping to improve the control accuracy of the damping force and further reducing the deviation between the actual and expected vibration damping performance of the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0188] In some embodiments, the first moving member 31 is a rigid component as a whole and has only one degree of freedom of movement.

[0189] It should be noted that a rigid component is a single element of a mechanism, a rigid body that moves with respect to an adjacent component. In mechanics, a rigid component is the basic unit that makes up a mechanism and has a defined relative motion relationship with each other. Degrees of freedom refer to the number of independent coordinates required to describe a mechanical system. One degree of freedom means that the first moving member 31 can move in only one direction, and movement in other directions is constrained. For example, the first moving member 31 may have only one rotational degree of freedom or only one translational degree of freedom.

[0190] Exemplarily, the first moving part 31 has only one rotational degree of freedom, namely, the freedom of circumferential rotation around the first rod body 4. While enabling the entire vibration damping assembly 3 to adaptably change with the change of the position of the barrel assembly 2 under the action of vibration, it also enables the first moving part 31 to have sufficient installation stability.

[0191] The first moving member 31 may be an integral component with a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0192] There is no limitation on the manner of implementing the first moving member 31 having only one rotational degree of freedom.

[0193] Taking the first rod body 4 as a portion of the suspension rod 6 as an example, the first moving member 31 is sleeved around the outer circumference of the suspension rod 6 (see Figure 16). The suspension rod 6 is provided with two retaining grooves 6a, spaced apart along the extension direction of the suspension rod 6. The clothing processing device 100 includes two retaining springs 61, which are respectively retained within the corresponding retaining grooves 6a. The end of the first moving member 31, which is distal to the second moving member 32, is sandwiched between the two retaining springs 61. Thus, the engagement of the retaining springs 61 with the retaining grooves 6a limits the sliding of the first moving member 31 along the extension direction of the suspension rod 6, resulting in the first moving member 31 having only the degree of rotational freedom of rotation about the circumference of the suspension rod 6.

[0194] The specific structures of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 are not limited.

[0195] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 18 , the first moving member 31 includes a first connecting base 311 and a first connecting structure 312. The first connecting base 311 is disposed at one end of the first connecting structure 312, and the end of the first connecting structure 312 away from the first connecting base 311 is directly or indirectly connected to the housing 1. The second moving member 32 includes a second connecting base 321 and a second connecting structure 322. The second connecting base 321 is disposed at one end of the second connecting structure 322, and the first connecting portion 323 is disposed at the other end of the second connecting structure 322.

[0196] The first connecting seat 311 includes a first annular portion 3111 , and the second connecting seat 321 includes a second annular portion 3211 . The second annular portion 3211 and the first annular portion 3111 are nested and have an annular space radially therebetween. The annular space can also be referred to as an annular cavity 3 a .

[0197] The matching manner between the second connection structure 322 and the first connection portion 323 is not limited.

[0198] In some embodiments, the second connection structure 322 is rotatably connected to the first connection portion 323 , and their rotation axes are perpendicular to the axis of the second rod 5 , so that the second connection structure 322 can swing up and down relative to the first connection portion 323 .

[0199] That is to say, the rotation axis of the second connecting structure 322 and the first connecting part 323 is in the horizontal direction, so when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, when the first connecting part 323 slides up and down along the second rod body 5, the second connecting structure 322 swings up and down relative to the first connecting part 323, thereby increasing the movement range of the second moving part 32 and reducing the probability of the second moving part 32 getting stuck, thereby facilitating the vibration reduction assembly 3 to buffer the vibration of the barrel assembly 2.

[0200] The rotational connection manner between the second connection structure 322 and the first connection portion 323 is not limited. For example, the second connection structure 322 and the first connection portion 323 may be hinged.

[0201] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the second connection structure 322 and the first connection portion 323 can be split structures, and the second connection structure 322 and the first connection portion 323 are independently manufactured and formed and then hinged together.

[0202] In the embodiment where the first connection portion 323 is provided with the second through hole 323 a , the first connection portion 323 and the second connection structure 322 may be integrally formed, ie, the second connection structure 322 does not swing up and down relative to the first connection portion 323 .

[0203] In the embodiment where the first connection portion 323 is provided with a connection head 3232 , the second connection structure 322 can be integrally formed with the base 3231 , and then the connection head 3232 is matched with the base 3231 , and the second connection structure 322 will not swing up and down relative to the base 3231 .

[0204] The specific structures of the second connecting base 321 and the first connecting base 311 are not limited.

[0205] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 18 and 20, 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 second end plate 3212 and the first end plate 3112 are arranged in parallel, and the second annular portion 3211 and the first annular portion 3111 are located between the second end plate 3212 and the first end plate 3112.

[0206] 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 second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 are docked.

[0207] In this embodiment, the second end plate 3212 and the first end plate 3112 can provide support for the second annular portion 3211 and the first annular portion 3111. The second annular portion 3211 and the first annular portion 3111 are confined between the second end plate 3212 and the first end plate 3112, thereby increasing the docking stability of the second annular portion 3211 and the first annular portion 3111 and reducing the chance of loosening of the docking of the second annular portion 3211 and the first annular portion 3111. Furthermore, the chance of the damping member 33 escaping from the annular space is reduced, and the damping 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 parallel arrangement of the second end plate 3212 and the first end plate 3112 can further increase the smoothness of the relative rotation of the second moving member 32 and the first moving member 31.

[0208] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 8 , the vibration reduction assembly 3 further includes a connecting member 35 , and the connecting member 35 passes through the first end plate 312 and the second end plate 322 .

[0209] Specifically, the connecting member 35 can connect the first end plate 312 and the second end plate 322, thereby fixing the first annular portion 3111 and the second annular portion 3211 along the direction of the first rotation axis L2, reducing the probability of the first annular portion 3111 falling out of the second annular portion 3211 or the second annular portion 3211 falling out of the first annular portion 3111. At the same time, it can also reduce the probability of the damping member 33 falling out of the annular cavity 3a, increase the installation stability of the shock absorbing assembly 3, and at the same time, increase the stability of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 during relative rotation.

[0210] The specific structure of the connecting member 35 is not limited, as long as it can connect the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 without affecting the relative rotation of the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32. For example, the connecting member 35 can be a rivet.

[0211] It can be understood that the clothing processing device 100 can also include a gasket 34, please refer to Figures 6 and 8. When the first annular portion 3111 surrounds the outer circumference of the second annular portion 3211, the gasket 34 is arranged on the first end plate 312, and the connecting member 35 passes through the gasket 34, the first end plate 312, and the second end plate 322 in sequence. The gasket 34 can protect the first end plate 312 and reduce the chance of damage to the first end plate 312.

[0212] When the second annular portion 3211 surrounds the outer circumference of the first annular portion 3111 , the gasket 34 is disposed on the second end plate 322 , and the connecting member 35 passes through the gasket 34 , the second end plate 322 , and the first end plate 312 in sequence.

[0213] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 18, the first annular portion 3111 surrounds the outer circumference of the second annular portion 3211, the first end plate 3112 is provided with a third through hole 3112a, and the second connecting seat 321 also includes one or more elastic hooks 3213 passing through the internal space of the second annular portion 3211, one end of the elastic hook 3213 is connected to the second end plate 3212, and the other end passes through the third through hole 3112a and is connected to the surface of the first end plate 3112 on the side away from the second end plate 3212.

[0214] The elastic hook 3213 is a structure that has elasticity and can be deformed.

[0215] Specifically, when the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 are docked, the damping part 33 is first set on the outer periphery of the second annular portion 3211, and then the third through hole 3112a of the first annular portion 3111 is passed from top to bottom through the elastic hook 3213. During the insertion process, the elastic hook 3213 undergoes elastic deformation. When the first annular portion 3111 completely surrounds the outer periphery of the second annular portion 3211, the elastic hook 3213 extends out of the third through hole 3112a, restores the deformation, and abuts against the side of the first end plate 3112 away from the second end plate 3212, thereby connecting the second connecting seat 321 and the first connecting seat 311 together, reducing the probability of the first connecting seat 311 falling off the second connecting seat 321, and increasing the installation stability of the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0216] The number of the elastic hooks 3213 is not limited, and can be one, two, or more than three. For example, referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 , the number of the elastic hooks 3213 is three.

[0217] Of course, in other embodiments, the second annular portion 3211 surrounds the outer circumference of the first annular portion 3111, the second end plate 3212 is provided with a fourth through hole, and the first connecting seat 311 includes one or more elastic hooks passing through the internal space of the first annular portion 3111, one end of the elastic hook is connected to the first end plate 3112, and the other end passes through the second through hole and is connected to the surface of the second end plate 3212 away from the first end plate 3112.

[0218] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 17 and 18, the second connecting seat 321 also includes a limiting structure 3214, which is arranged on the second end plate 3212 and is located on the circumferential outside of the second annular portion 3211. The limiting structure 3214 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 relative to the second moving part 32.

[0219] It should be noted that, in the initial state, the angle between the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 is the first angle. The initial state is the position of the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 when the barrel assembly 2 is in a stationary state. When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the first moving part 31 rotates relative to the second moving part 32. When the first moving part 31 abuts against the limiting structure 3214, the angle between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32 is the second angle. The maximum rotation angle of the first moving part 31 relative to the second moving part 32 is the difference between the second angle and the first angle.

[0220] It can be understood that the first end of the second moving member 32 is connected to the first end of the first moving member 31, and the angle between the second moving member 32 and the first moving member 31 is the angle between the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the second moving member 32 and the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the first moving member 31.

[0221] It can be understood that 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 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 second moving part 32 can be connected to the barrel assembly 2, and the second end of the first moving part 31 can be directly or indirectly connected to the box body 1.

[0222] It can be understood that when the barrel assembly vibrates and deflects, the second moving part and the first moving part rotate relative to each other under the action of vibration. When the rotation position of the first moving part relative to the second moving part exceeds the critical position, the resistance of the second moving part and the first moving part to return to the initial state is greatly increased, and thus the second moving part and the first moving part cannot move adaptively 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 and reducing the vibration reduction reliability of the vibration reduction assembly.

[0223] In this embodiment, when the first moving part 31 rotates to the maximum rotation angle relative to the second moving part 32, the first moving part 31 cooperates with the limit structure 3214 to stop, and the limit structure 3214 prevents the first moving part 31 from rotating in the direction of increasing the relative rotation angle, so as to control the rotation angle of the first moving part 31 relative to the second moving part 32 within an appropriate range, thereby reducing the resistance of the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 to return to their initial state, and increasing the vibration reduction reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.

[0224] Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting structure can be provided on the first connecting seat 311, and the limiting structure is provided on the first end plate 3112 and is located on the circumferential outside of the first annular portion 3111. The limiting structure 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.

[0225] In some examples, the angle between the second moving member 32 and the first moving member 31 does not exceed 180°. That is, in any position, the angle between the second moving member 32 and the first moving member 31 does not exceed 180°. In other words, the angle between the line connecting the centers of the first and second ends of the second moving member 32 and the line connecting the centers of the first and second ends of the first moving member 31 does not exceed 180°.

[0226] It is understood that the angle not exceeding 180° means that, before or during the relative rotation of the second moving member 32 and the first moving member 31, the angle between the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the second moving member 32 and the line connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the first moving member 31 along the same direction, with one of the second moving member 32 and the first moving member 31 as a reference, does not exceed 180°. For example, referring to Figures 7, 19 and 35, with the first moving member 31 as a reference, the angle between the line A1 connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the first moving member 31 and the line A2 connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the second moving member 32 along the clockwise direction shown in Figure 7 does not exceed 180°.

[0227] In this embodiment, the angle setting between the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 can limit the relative position change of the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 to a reasonable range, so that the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 can adaptively move with the vibration position change of the barrel assembly 2, thereby increasing the vibration reduction reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.

[0228] In some examples, please refer to Figures 7, 19 and 35. When the barrel assembly 2 is in a stationary state, the angle between the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31, that is, the angle α between the line A1 connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the second moving part 32 and the line A2 connecting the centers of the first end and the second end of the first moving part 31 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.

[0229] In this embodiment, when the barrel assembly 2 is in a stationary state, the angle between the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 is within an appropriate range. On the one hand, it facilitates the relative rotation of the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 under the vibration of the barrel assembly 2. On the other hand, it also allows the first moving part 31 to have a sufficient rotation range when rotating relative to the second moving part 32, thereby increasing the vibration reduction reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.

[0230] In some examples, as shown in Figure 15, the connection position of the vibration damping assembly 3 and the second rod body 5 is the first position 3a, and the connection position of the vibration damping assembly 3 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.

[0231] It should be noted that the components outside the barrel assembly 2 refer to components that are independent of the barrel assembly 2 and are arranged outside the barrel assembly 2. For example, they can be the boom 6, the workbench 9, the box 1, etc., and are not limited here.

[0232] 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°, that is, 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°, that is, 85°≤β≤95°, for example, 85°, 86°, 87°, 88°, 89°, 90°, 91°, 92°, 93°, 94°, 95°, etc.

[0233] Taking FIG. 15 as an example, the first position 3 a is the connection position between the vibration reduction assembly 3 and the second rod 5 , and the second position 3 b is the connection position between the vibration reduction assembly 3 and the suspension rod 6 .

[0234] In this embodiment, the range of the angle β can ensure that when the barrel assembly 2 is in a stationary state, the vibration damping assembly 3 can also be in a relatively stable state. When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the resistance of the vibration damping assembly 3 when it moves with the vibration of the barrel assembly 2 can also be small, which is convenient for increasing the working reliability of the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0235] In some embodiments, the second annular portion 3211 surrounds the outer circumference of the first annular portion 3111 , and the inner surface of the second annular portion 3211 is provided with a first rib 3111 a protruding toward the first annular portion 3111 . The sidewall of the damping member 33 has a notch 33 a , and the first rib 3111 a is engaged with the notch 33 a .

[0236] Alternatively, please refer to Figures 9 and 10. The first annular portion 3111 surrounds the outer circumference of the second annular portion 3211. The inner surface of the first annular portion 3111 has a first rib 3111a protruding toward the second annular portion 3211. The side wall of the damping member 33 has a notch 33a, and the first rib 3111a is inserted into the notch 33a.

[0237] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the first rib 3111a and the notch 33a can not only install and position the damping member 33, but also reduce the probability of the damping member 33 rotating in the annular cavity 3a when the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 do not rotate relative to each other after the damping member 33 is installed, thereby increasing the installation stability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.

[0238] It should be noted that in the embodiment where the second annular portion 3211 surrounds the outer circumference of the first annular portion 3111, when only the first moving member 31 rotates about the connection between the first and second moving members 31 and 32, causing relative rotation between the first and second moving members 31 and 32, the second moving member 32 does not rotate about the connection between the first and second moving members 31 and 32. In this case, the damping member 33 does not rotate within the annular cavity 3a. When the second moving member 32 rotates about the connection between the first and second moving members 31 and 32, the damping member 33 can rotate within the annular cavity 3a driven by the second moving member 32, regardless of whether the first moving member 31 rotates about the connection between the first and second moving members 31 and 32.

[0239] Similarly, in the embodiment where the first annular portion 3111 surrounds the outer circumference of the second annular portion 3211, when only the second moving member 32 rotates about the connection between the first and second moving members 31 and 32, causing relative rotation between the first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32, the first moving member 31 does not rotate about the connection between the first and second moving members 31, and in this case, the damping member 33 does not rotate within the annular cavity. When the first moving member 31 rotates about the connection between the first and second moving members 31 and 32, the damping member 33 can rotate within the annular cavity 3a driven by the first moving member 31, regardless of whether the second moving member 32 rotates about the connection between the first and second moving members 31 and 32.

[0240] It is understandable that the arrangement position of the first rod body 4 is not limited.

[0241] For example, in some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 4, the clothing processing device 100 includes a plurality of suspension rods 6, one end of each suspension rod 6 is connected to the barrel assembly 2, and the other end is connected to the box body 1, and the barrel assembly 2 is suspended on the box body 1 through the plurality of suspension rods 6.

[0242] 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.

[0243] Please refer to FIG. 1 , the first rod 4 is a part of the suspension rod 6 .

[0244] In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 4 , in the orthographic projection of a plane perpendicular to the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2 , the center O1 of the barrel assembly 2 , the center O2 of the first rod 4 , and the center O3 of the third rod are collinear.

[0245] In this embodiment, the first moving part 31 is connected to the suspension rod 6 through the first rod body 4. There is sufficient installation space between the barrel assembly 2 and the suspension rod 6 to arrange the vibration damping assembly 3. The suspension rod 6 has sufficient structural strength to provide sufficient 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 off the suspension rod 6, thereby increasing the installation stability of the vibration damping assembly 3; in addition, the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 is not directly connected to the box body 1, and the vibration energy of the barrel assembly 2 is transmitted to the box body 1 via the vibration damping assembly 3 and the suspension rod 6, which can reduce the vibration energy received by the box body 1 and increase the operation stability of the clothing processing device 100.

[0246] Of course, in other embodiments, the first rod body 4 may also be connected to the suspension rod 6. The suspension rod 6 can provide support for the first rod body 4, thereby providing sufficient support for the first moving member 31.

[0247] 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.

[0248] There is no limit to the number of vibration-damping devices 300. For example, please refer to Figure 2. The number of vibration-damping devices 300 is four, that is, the number of first rods 4 and vibration-damping assemblies 3 are four. One end of the four vibration-damping assemblies 3 is connected to the barrel assembly 2, and the other end is connected to the suspension rod 6, so that the vibration-damping assembly 3 can evenly and fully buffer the vibration of the barrel assembly 2 from different directions, increase the vibration-damping effect, and improve the operating safety of the clothing processing equipment 100.

[0249] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 11, the clothing processing device 100 includes a workbench 9, which is arranged at the top of the box body 1, one end of the first rod body 4 is connected to the workbench 9, and the other end extends downward from the workbench 9 to form a suspended free end, or, after extending downward, is connected to the lower part or bottom plate of the box body 1.

[0250] It can be understood that the workbench 9 is located on the top side of the box body 1, and the workbench 9 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 through the clothing loading port from the top side, and the washed clothes can also be taken out from the clothing processing chamber through the clothing loading port.

[0251] In this embodiment, one end of the vibration damping assembly 3 away from the first rod body 4 is connected to the barrel assembly 2, and the other end is connected to the workbench 9 through the first rod body 4. The barrel assembly 2 and the workbench 9 jointly provide installation support for the vibration damping device 300 to increase the installation stability and movement stability of the vibration damping device 300. In addition, the vibration damping device 300 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 device 300 and the workbench 9. The workbench 9 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 equipment 100.

[0252] In addition, the first rod 4 extends downward from the workbench 9 , and the axis of the first rod 4 is along the height direction, so as to reduce the movement resistance of the first moving member 31 .

[0253] In some further embodiments, referring to Figures 21 and 23, the clothing processing device 100 includes a mounting base 11, the mounting base 11 is arranged on the box body 1, at least one end of the first rod body 4 is arranged on the mounting base 11, and the first moving part 31 is connected to the box body 1 through the first rod body 4.

[0254] In this embodiment, one end of the vibration damping assembly 3 is connected to the barrel assembly 2 through the second rod body 5, and the other end is connected to the mounting seat of the box body 1 through the first rod body 4, so as to realize the connection of the vibration damping device 300 with 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 device 300. In this way, the vibration damping device 300 has sufficient installation space and movement space, which is convenient for buffering the vibration of the barrel assembly 2.

[0255] The following briefly describes the movement of the vibration reduction assembly 3 according to the embodiment of the present application with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 11 .

[0256] The first rod body 4 is a part of the suspension rod 6 , and the suspension rod 6 is passed through the first through hole 313 a .

[0257] The first moving member 31 can rotate around the circumference of the suspension rod 6, slide along the extension direction of the suspension rod 6, and swing up and down relative to the suspension rod 6. The first through hole 313a and the first through groove 313b can provide elastic deformation.

[0258] The second moving part 32 has a second through hole 323a at one end away from the first moving part 31, the second rod body 5 is passed through the second through hole 323a, the second rod body 5 is hollow and has a first deformation groove 5a, the bushing 7 has a second deformation groove 7a, the second rod body 5 is stably matched with the second through hole 323a through the vibration-damping sleeve 8 and the bushing 7, and the second moving part 32 can rotate around the circumference of the second rod body 5.

[0259] The first moving member 31 and the second moving member 32 can rotate relative to each other around their connection.

[0260] In this embodiment, the vibration damping assembly 3 has five degrees of freedom of movement, namely, the degree of freedom of rotation around the circumferential rotation of the first rod body 4, the degree of freedom of sliding along the extension direction of the first rod body 4, the degree of freedom of swinging up and down relative to the first rod body 4, the degree of freedom of circumferential rotation around the second rod body 5, and the degree of freedom of relative rotation between the first moving part 31 and the second moving part 32. The probability of the vibration damping assembly 3 getting stuck is low, and it can adapt to the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2 in different vibration directions.

[0261] Moreover, the axis of the first rod body 4, the axis of the second rod body 5 and the axis of the barrel assembly 2 are arranged in the same plane, which helps to reduce the eccentric movement caused by the axes of the first rod body 4, the second rod body 5 and the barrel assembly 2 not being in the same plane, thereby providing a more effective vibration reduction effect.

[0262] The following briefly describes the movement of the vibration reduction assembly 3 according to the embodiment of the present application in conjunction with Figures 12 to 27.

[0263] The first moving part 31 can rotate around the circumference of the suspension rod 6, and the second moving part 32 is sleeved on the second rod body 5. The first moving part 31 is sleeved on the suspension rod 6. Under the vibration of the barrel assembly 2, the second moving part 32 can rotate around the circumference of the second rod body 5, slide up and down along the second rod body 5, and swing up and down relative to the second rod body 5. The second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 can rotate relative to each other.

[0264] In this embodiment, the vibration damping assembly 3 has a total of five degrees of freedom of motion, namely, the degree of freedom of rotation around the circumferential rotation of the second rod body 5, the degree of freedom of swinging up and down relative to the second rod body 5, the degree of freedom of sliding up and down along the second rod body 5, the degree of freedom of rotation around the circumferential rotation of the suspension rod 6, and the degree of freedom of relative rotation between the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31. The probability of motion jamming of the vibration damping assembly 3 is low, it can adapt to the position changes of the barrel assembly 2 during vibration, and the vibration reduction reliability is high.

[0265] An embodiment of the present application further provides a clothing processing device 100 , which includes a housing 1 , a barrel assembly 2 , a suspension rod 6 , an adapter 5 , an adapter 10 and a vibration damping assembly 3 .

[0266] The forms of the laundry processing apparatus 100 , the housing 1 and the tub assembly 2 may all refer to the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0267] The vibration reduction effect of the vibration reduction assembly 3 can refer to the above embodiments.

[0268] One end of the suspension rod 6 is connected to the barrel assembly 2 , and the other end is connected to the box body 1 . The barrel assembly 2 is suspended on the box body 1 through a plurality of suspension rods 6 .

[0269] 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.

[0270] 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 the other end is connected to the adapter 10, 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, one end of the vibration damping assembly 3 can be connected to the water receiving tray, and the other end is connected to the adapter 10, 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.

[0271] In this embodiment, the barrel assembly 2 including an inner barrel and an outer barrel is taken as an example for description.

[0272] Please refer to Figure 1. The adapter 10 is connected to the suspension rod 6. One end of the vibration reduction assembly 3 is connected to the barrel assembly 2. The other end of the vibration reduction assembly 3 is connected to the adapter 10 and can slide along the extension direction of the adapter 10.

[0273] That is, the vibration reduction assembly 3 is not directly connected to the suspension rod 6, but is directly connected to the adapter 10, and is connected to the suspension rod 6 through the adapter 10. The adapter 10 can isolate the suspension rod 6 and the vibration reduction assembly 3, reducing the wear of the vibration reduction assembly 3 when the suspension rod 5 is in contact with each other.

[0274] It should be noted that the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 can slide along the extension direction of the adapter 10, so that it can slide relative to the boom 6. There is no relative sliding between the adapter 10 and the boom 6. When the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 slides relative to the adapter 10, it slides relative to the boom 6. There is no sliding contact between the vibration damping assembly 3 and the boom 6.

[0275] Specifically, when the clothing processing device 100 is in the washing or dehydration state, the barrel assembly 2 transfers the vibration energy to the vibration damping assembly 3. Under the action of vibration, the vibration damping assembly 3 can generate a sliding stroke relative to the adapter 10 to adapt to the changes in different vibration directions of the barrel assembly 2. In addition, the vibration of the barrel assembly 2 can also force the vibration damping assembly 3 to absorb the vibration energy and suppress the vibration amplitude of the barrel assembly 2.

[0276] In the clothing processing device provided in this embodiment, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the vibration-damping assembly 3 adapts to the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2 in different vibration directions by sliding relative to the adapter 10 and the suspension rod 6. The end of the vibration-damping assembly 3 connected to the adapter 10 has sufficient travel and a low probability of getting stuck, which facilitates the vibration-damping assembly 3 to cushion the vibration of the barrel assembly 2 and reduce the probability of the barrel assembly 2 colliding with the housing 1. In addition, the vibration-damping assembly 3 does not directly contact and rub against the suspension rod 6, which can reduce the probability of damage to the vibration-damping assembly 3 due to friction with the suspension rod 6 and extend the service life of the vibration-damping assembly 3.

[0277] It is understood that the adapter 10 can be made of a wear-resistant material and can have a lower structural strength than the suspension rod 6 to reduce the wear of the vibration damping assembly 3. When the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 is connected to the adapter 10, the suspension rod 6 can provide support for both the adapter 10 and the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0278] Exemplarily, the extension direction of the adapter 10 may be consistent with the length direction of the boom 6 .

[0279] In some examples, the vibration reduction assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially around at least one of the barrel assembly 2 and the adapter 10 ; and / or, the adapter 10 can drive the vibration reduction assembly 3 to rotate circumferentially around the boom 6 .

[0280] The above content includes multiple situations.

[0281] The first is that the vibration-damping assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially around the barrel assembly 2. When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the end of the vibration-damping assembly 3 connected to the barrel assembly 2 can adapt to the position change of the barrel assembly 2 by rotating circumferentially around the barrel assembly 2. In this embodiment, the vibration-damping assembly 3 has at least two degrees of freedom of motion, which increases the smoothness of the movement of the vibration-damping assembly 3, reduces the probability of sticking, and improves the movement reliability of the vibration-damping assembly 3.

[0282] The second option is that the vibration damping assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially about the adapter 10. Specifically, the vibration damping assembly 3 can rotate relative to the boom 6 by rotating circumferentially about the adapter 10. In this case, there is no relative rotation between the adapter 10 and the boom 6. When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 can adapt to the position changes of the barrel assembly 2 by rotating circumferentially about the adapter 10 and sliding relative to the adapter 10. This provides a wider range of motion for the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3, reducing the chance of the vibration damping assembly 3 becoming stuck at a certain position and improving smoother movement.

[0283] The third type: the adapter 10 can drive the vibration damping assembly 3 to rotate around the circumference of the hanger 6. In other words, the adapter 10 can rotate around the circumference of the hanger 6, and drive the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 to rotate synchronously around the circumference of the hanger 6. In this case, there is relative rotation between the adapter 10 and the hanger 6. When the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 can rotate around the circumference of the hanger 6 driven by the adapter 10 to adapt to the position change of the barrel assembly 2. In this embodiment, there is only sliding friction between the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 and the adapter 10, and no rotational friction, which can reduce the wear probability of the vibration damping assembly 3 and increase the vibration damping reliability of the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0284] The fourth type: the vibration reduction assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially around the barrel assembly 2 and can rotate circumferentially around the adapter 10. In this case, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, both ends of the vibration reduction assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially, and the vibration reduction assembly 3 has at least three degrees of freedom of motion.

[0285] Fifth option: The vibration damping assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially around the barrel assembly 2, and the adapter 10 can drive the vibration damping assembly 3 to rotate circumferentially around the suspension rod 6. In this case, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, both ends of the vibration damping assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially, the vibration damping assembly 3 has at least three degrees of freedom of motion, and the probability of wear of the vibration damping assembly 3 is lower.

[0286] There is no limitation on the method for achieving no relative sliding between the adapter 10 and the suspension rod 6 .

[0287] For example, in some embodiments, referring to Figures 16 and 32 , the suspension rod 6 is provided with two slots 6a spaced apart along the extension direction of the suspension rod 6. The laundry processing device 100 includes two retaining springs 61, which are respectively retained in the corresponding two slots 6a. The adapter 10 is clamped between the two retaining springs 61 at opposite ends along the axial direction. Thus, the engagement of the retaining springs 61 with the slots 6a limits the sliding of the adapter 10 along the extension direction of the suspension rod 6, thereby preventing relative sliding between the adapter 10 and the suspension rod 6.

[0288] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 32 , the adapter 10 has a first protrusion 101 and a second protrusion 102 , which are spaced apart along the axial direction, and the second connecting portion 313 is located between the first protrusion 101 and the second protrusion 102 .

[0289] In this embodiment, the setting of the first protrusion 101 and the second protrusion 102 can limit the sliding stroke of the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 between the first protrusion 101 and the second protrusion 102, which is convenient for limiting the sliding of the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3, reducing the probability of the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 sliding out of the adapter 10 and directly contacting the suspension rod 6 and being worn, thereby increasing the working reliability of the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0290] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 30 , the other end of the vibration reduction assembly 3 includes a second connection portion 313 . The second connection portion 313 is connected to the adapter 10 and can swing up and down around the connection between the second connection portion 313 and the adapter 10 .

[0291] That is, the second connection portion 313 can swing relative to the adapter 10 , that is, the vibration damping assembly 3 can swing relative to the adapter 10 while sliding relative to the adapter 10 . In this embodiment, the vibration damping assembly 3 has at least two degrees of freedom of movement.

[0292] Specifically, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the second connecting portion 313 can adapt to the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2 in different vibration directions by sliding and swinging relative to the adapter 10. The coordination of sliding and swinging can increase the smoothness of the movement of the vibration damping assembly 3, reduce the probability of the vibration damping assembly 3 getting stuck at a certain movement position, further reduce the probability of the vibration damping assembly 3 getting stuck, and increase the movement reliability of the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0293] In an embodiment in which one end of the vibration damping assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially around the barrel assembly 2, and the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 can rotate circumferentially around the adapter 10, or rotate circumferentially around the boom 6 driven by the adapter 10, the vibration damping assembly 3 has at least four degrees of freedom of movement, a wider range of movement, and a lower chance of getting stuck.

[0294] The connection method between the vibration damping assembly 3 and the adapter 10 is not limited.

[0295] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 28, the adapter 10 is mounted on the outer periphery of the boom 6 and cooperates with the boom 6 to prevent rotation along the circumferential direction. The second connecting portion 313 is mounted on the outer periphery of the adapter 10, and the second connecting portion 313 can rotate along the circumference of the adapter 10.

[0296] That is, in this embodiment, relative rotation between the adapter 10 and the suspension rod 6 does not occur. Circumferential rotation of the second connection portion 313 about the adapter 10 enables circumferential rotation of the second connection portion 313 about the suspension rod 6. This reduces the likelihood of wear caused by direct friction between the second connection portion 313 and the suspension rod 6, thereby increasing the service life of the vibration damping assembly 3. Furthermore, the lack of relative rotation between the adapter 10 and the suspension rod 6 also reduces the rate of frictional damage to the adapter 10. The adapter 10 only needs to move relative to the second connection portion 313, further enhancing the structural stability of the clothing processing device 100.

[0297] In the embodiment where the second connection portion 313 rotates circumferentially around the adapter 10 , there is no limitation on the manner in which the second connection portion 313 can swing and slide up and down relative to the adapter 10 .

[0298] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 32 to 34, the second connecting portion 313 has a first through hole 313a, and the adapter 10 is slidably inserted into the first through hole 313a. From the opposite ends of the first through hole 313a along its axial direction toward the middle position of the first through hole 313a along its axial direction, the hole wall of the first through hole 313a extends toward the axis of the first through hole 313a, so that the hole wall of the first through hole 313a and the adapter 10 can swing relative to each other in the up and down directions.

[0299] That is to say, the aperture of the first through hole 313a gradually decreases from the opposite two ends of the first through hole 313a along its axial direction toward the middle position of the first through hole 313a along its axial direction. The aperture of the first through hole 313a at the middle position of the axial direction is smaller than the aperture of the first through hole 313a at the two ends of the axial direction. The aperture of the first through hole 313a is roughly larger at the two ends and smaller in the middle.

[0300] In this embodiment, the gap between the adapter 10 and the hole wall of the first through hole 313a gradually increases from the middle position of the first through hole 313a along its axial direction toward the opposite ends of the first through hole 313a along its axial direction. Therefore, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, when the second connection part 313 slides up and down relative to the adapter 10 and rotates circumferentially around the adapter 10, the first through hole 313a can also provide space for the second connection part 313 to swing up and down. In this way, multiple movement modes of the second connection part 313 can be realized only through the cooperation between the first through hole 313a and the adapter 10, the probability of the second connection part 313 getting stuck in movement is reduced, and the overall structure of the vibration damping assembly 3 can also be simpler. In addition, the aperture of the first through hole 313a is the smallest at the middle position of the axial direction, which also facilitates increasing the assembly stability of the first through hole 313a and the adapter 10.

[0301] In this embodiment, the vibration reduction assembly 3 has at least four degrees of freedom, namely, the rotational freedom of circumferential rotation around the second rod body 5, the rotational freedom of circumferential rotation relative to the suspension rod 6, the sliding freedom relative to the suspension rod 6, and the swinging freedom relative to the suspension rod 6, and the probability of motion jamming is low.

[0302] In other embodiments, please refer to Figures 28 and 30, the top of the hanger 6 has an upper support 60 and a rotating structure 65, the hanger 6 is connected to the box 1 through the upper support 60, the rotating structure 65 is arranged at the bottom end of the upper support 60 and can rotate around the upper support 60, and the adapter 10 is connected to the rotating structure 65 so as to rotate circumferentially around the hanger 6 under the drive of the rotating structure 65.

[0303] That is, in this embodiment, the adapter 10 and the suspension rod 6 rotate relative to each other. The rotation of the rotating structure 65 about the upper support 60 enables the adapter 10 to rotate circumferentially about the suspension rod 6, which in turn drives the second connecting portion 313 to rotate circumferentially about the suspension rod 6. This reduces the likelihood of wear and tear from direct friction between the second connecting portion 313 and the suspension rod 6, thereby increasing the service life of the vibration damping assembly 3. Furthermore, the rotation of the second connecting portion 313 about the suspension rod 6 driven by the adapter 10 also reduces the likelihood of damage from friction between the second connecting portion 313 and the adapter 10, further reducing the wear rate of the vibration damping assembly 3.

[0304] In the embodiment in which the second connection portion 313 rotates circumferentially around the suspension rod 6 driven by the adapter 10 , there is no limitation on the manner in which the second connection portion 313 slides up and down relative to the adapter 10 .

[0305] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 29 to 31, the second connecting part 313 includes a connecting frame 3131 and a slider 3132, the connecting frame 3131 has an opening groove 3131a, and the groove walls on opposite sides of the opening groove 3131a along the first direction are respectively provided with sliders 3132, the adapter 10 is inserted into the opening groove 3131a, and the adapter 10 has a slide groove 10a on opposite sides along the first direction, the slide groove 10a extends along the length direction of the boom 6, and the slider 3132 is slidably inserted into the slide groove 10a, wherein the first direction intersects with the length direction of the boom 6.

[0306] Specifically, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the barrel assembly 2 transfers the vibration energy to the vibration damping assembly 3. Under the action of vibration, the second connecting part 313 rotates circumferentially around the suspension rod 6 driven by the adapter 10. At the same time, the second connecting part 313 can slide relative to the adapter 10 through the sliding of the slider 3132 in the slide groove 10a, thereby adapting to the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2. The movement range of the second connecting part 313 is increased, and the probability of sticking is low, which facilitates increasing the movement reliability of the vibration damping assembly 3, thereby buffering the vibration of the barrel assembly 2.

[0307] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 30 , the bottom end of the slide groove 10 a has a limiting wall 10 b to limit the sliding stroke of the slider 3132 within the slide groove 10 a .

[0308] In this embodiment, the setting of the limiting wall 10b can limit the movement of the slider 3132 within the slide groove 10a, which is convenient for limiting the sliding of the slider 3132, reducing the probability of the second connecting part 313 sliding out of the slide groove 10a and directly contacting the suspension rod 6 and being worn, thereby increasing the working reliability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.

[0309] It can be understood that the first direction intersects with the length direction of the suspension rod 6, and the angle between the first direction and the length direction of the suspension rod 6 can be an acute angle, a right angle, an obtuse angle, etc., which is not limited here.

[0310] Please refer to FIG. 29 . In a plane projection perpendicular to the first direction, the slider 3132 is circular or arc-shaped, so that the second connecting portion 313 can swing up and down around the matching position between the slider 3132 and the sliding groove 10 a .

[0311] That is to say, by setting the shape of the slider 3132, the second connecting part 313 can swing relative to the adapter 10. In this way, the second connecting part 313 can rotate circumferentially around the hanger 6 and slide relative to the hanger 6 under the drive of the adapter 10, and can also swing relative to the hanger 6. The movement of the second connecting part 313 is smooth, which is convenient for adapting to the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2, thereby facilitating the vibration reduction assembly 3 to buffer the vibration of the barrel assembly 2 and reduce the probability of the barrel assembly 2 hitting the box body 1.

[0312] In this embodiment, the vibration reduction assembly 3 has at least four degrees of freedom, namely, the rotational freedom of circumferential rotation around the second rod body 5, the rotational freedom of circumferential rotation around the suspension rod 6, the freedom of sliding relative to the suspension rod 6, and the freedom of swinging relative to the suspension rod 6, and the probability of motion jamming is low.

[0313] In other embodiments, the adapter 10 is a rod-shaped structure, the rod-shaped structure is spaced apart from the suspension rod 6, and the extension direction of the rod-shaped structure is parallel to the extension direction of the suspension rod 6. The clothing processing device 100 includes a connecting structure, and the two ends of the rod-shaped structure along the extension direction are connected to the suspension rod 6 through the connecting structure, and the other end of the vibration damping assembly 3 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rod-shaped structure.

[0314] In this embodiment, the adapter 10 is connected to the suspension rod 6 via a connecting structure. That is, the adapter 10 does not directly contact the suspension rod 6, which can reduce the probability of contact wear between the adapter 10 and the suspension rod 6 and reduce the probability of direct contact between the vibration reduction assembly 3 and the suspension rod 6. In addition, the suspension rod 6 can also provide support for the adapter 10, thereby increasing the movement stability of the vibration reduction assembly 3.

[0315] The specific structure of the vibration damping assembly 3 is not limited.

[0316] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 33 to 35, the vibration reduction assembly 3 includes a second moving member 32, a first moving member 31 and a damping member 33, the second moving member 32 and the first moving member 31 are connected and can rotate relative to each other around the connection between the two, the damping member 33 is arranged at the rotation connection between the second moving member 32 and the first moving member 31, and is used to provide friction force to achieve vibration reduction when the second moving member 32 and the first moving member 31 rotate relative to each other, the second moving member 32 is connected to the adapter 10 or the first moving member 31 is connected to the adapter 10.

[0317] It should be noted that the damping member 33 is a structure whose material itself has friction damping properties. The damping member 33 can also be called a friction member.

[0318] It should be noted that the connection between the second moving member 32 and the adapter 10 or the connection between the first moving member 31 and the adapter 10 can be achieved by either the second moving member 32 sliding relative to the adapter 10 or the first moving member 31 sliding relative to the adapter 10. When the second moving member 32 is connected to the adapter 10, the end of the first moving member 31 away from the second moving member 32 is connected to the barrel assembly 2; when the first moving member 31 is connected to the adapter 10, the end of the second moving member 32 away from the first moving member 31 is connected to the barrel assembly 2.

[0319] It should be noted that the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 can rotate relative to each other around the connection between the two, which means that at least one of the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 can rotate around the connection between the two, thereby causing the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 to rotate relative to each other.

[0320] Specifically, when the barrel assembly 2 vibrates and deflects, the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 rotate relative to each other. On the one hand, the vibration reduction assembly 3 has a higher degree of freedom of movement. On the other hand, the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 can rub against the damping part 33 to generate friction damping. The friction damping can serve as the damping force of the vibration reduction assembly 3 to reduce the vibration of the barrel assembly 2, thereby achieving vibration buffering of the barrel assembly 2.

[0321] In this embodiment, the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 are caused to rotate relative to each other and rub against the damping part 33 to generate friction, thereby limiting the vibration amplitude of the barrel assembly 2 and reducing the vibration displacement of the barrel assembly 2. The damping part 33 is arranged between the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31, that is, the damping part 33 is not in direct contact with the barrel assembly 2 or the suspension rod 6, and the wear generated by the damping part 33 can be smaller. At the same time, when the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 rotate relative to each other, the damping part 33 can also isolate the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31, thereby reducing the wear generated by direct friction when the second moving part 32 and the first moving part 31 rotate, and the service life of the vibration reduction assembly 3 can also be longer.

[0322] The material of the damping member 33 is not limited. For example, the damping 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 second moving member 32 and the first moving member 31. Of course, the damping member 33 can also be made of a semi-metallic friction material, etc., and this is not limited here.

[0323] In some embodiments, referring to FIG12 , the relative rotation axis L2 between the second moving member 32 and the first moving member 31 is substantially parallel to the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2. The relative positional relationship between the relative rotation axis L2 between the second moving member 32 and the first moving member 31 and the axis L1 of the barrel assembly 2 can be referred to in the above embodiment and will not be further described here.

[0324] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 28 and 32, the end of the first moving member 31 away from the second moving member 32 is connected to the adapter 10, and the first moving member 31 as a whole is a rigid component and rotates around the adapter 10 or rotates circumferentially around the boom 6 driven by the adapter 10.

[0325] Specifically, referring to FIG. 28 and FIG. 32 , the second connecting portion 313 serves as a part of the first moving member 31 , and the first moving member 31 is connected to the adapter 10 via the second connecting portion 313 .

[0326] 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.

[0327] In this embodiment, when the first moving part 31 rotates circumferentially around the adapter 10 or rotates circumferentially around the suspension rod 6 driven by the adapter 10, it can drive the first moving part 31 as a whole to rotate relative to the suspension rod 6, thereby reducing the probability of the first moving part 31 getting stuck.

[0328] The first moving member 31 may be an integral component with a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0329] For example, in some examples, the first moving part 31 may also have only one degree of rotational freedom, that is, the degree of freedom of circumferential rotation relative to the boom 6, and the movement of the first moving part 31 in other directions is constrained, so that the overall vibration reduction assembly 3 can adaptably change with the change of the position of the barrel assembly 2, while also making the overall vibration reduction assembly 3 have sufficient installation stability.
