[0029] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0030] The garment processing apparatus according to an embodiment of this application is described below with reference to Figures 1-10.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1, the garment processing equipment according to this application includes: an outer cylinder 10, a shock-absorbing rod 20, a connecting rod 30, a fixing buckle 35, and a buffer structure 36. One end of the shock-absorbing rod 20 is hinged to the outer cylinder 10 and is configured as a plurality of spaced-apart rods. The connecting rod 30 is connected to at least two shock-absorbing rods 20. The fixing buckle 35 cooperates with the connecting rod 30 and is connected to the outer cylinder 10. The buffer structure 36 is disposed between the fixing buckle 35 and the connecting rod 30 and is adapted to attenuate the vibration between the fixing buckle 35 and the connecting rod 30.

[0032] Here, the damping rod 20, connecting rod 30, fixing buckle 35, and buffer structure 36 constitute the vibration damping component 100 of the garment processing equipment 1. When the garment processing equipment 1 is working, the outer cylinder 10 will vibrate, and the vibration will generate noise. The damping rod 20 connected to the outer cylinder 10 can reduce the vibration amplitude of the outer cylinder 10, thereby reducing the noise transmitted to the outside of the garment processing equipment 1. When there are multiple damping rods 20, the multiple damping rods 20 are connected to different positions on the garment processing equipment 1, and the damping amplitude of each damping rod 20 may be different. Therefore, a connecting rod 30 is designed. The connecting rod 30 is set on the outer cylinder 10 through the fixing buckle 35. The connecting rod 30 is connected to at least two damping rods 20. The connecting rod 30 can balance the vibration between the at least two damping rods 20 connected to it. In addition, a buffer structure 36 is provided between the connecting rod 30 and the fixing buckle 35, which can reduce the vibration amplitude of the damping rod 20 connected to the connecting rod 30 relative to the outer cylinder 10, further reducing the noise transmitted to the outside of the garment processing equipment 1.

[0033] According to the clothing processing device 1 of this application, a connecting rod 30 is provided to connect at least two damping rods 20 to the outer cylinder 10. The connecting rod 30 can balance the vibration between the at least two damping rods 20 connected to it, thereby reducing vibration noise. At the same time, the connecting rod 30 and the outer cylinder 10 are connected by a fixing buckle 35, and a buffer structure 36 is also provided between the connecting rod 30 and the fixing buckle 35, which can absorb the vibration energy between the connecting rod 30 and the fixing buckle 35, reduce the vibration amplitude of the connecting rod 30 relative to the outer cylinder 10, further reduce vibration noise, and improve the user experience.

[0034] According to some embodiments of this application, the fixing buckle 35 is fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 10. The fixing buckle 35 forms a groove 3531a suitable for receiving the connecting rod 30, and a buffer structure 36 is disposed between the groove 3531a and the connecting rod 30. Here, the buffer structure 36 is disposed between the groove 3531a and the connecting rod 30 to attenuate the vibration between the outer cylinder 10 and the connecting rod 30. In some embodiments, the buffer structure 36 is constructed as a rubber ring. The buffer structure 36 can be sleeved on at least part of the outer periphery of the connecting rod 30. When the outer cylinder 10 vibrates, the connecting rod 30 may move relative to the fixing buckle 35, causing vibration between the fixing buckle 35 and the connecting rod 30. At this time, the buffer structure 36 can buffer the vibration between the fixing buckle 35 and the connecting rod 30, thereby attenuating the vibration between the outer cylinder 10 and the connecting rod 30.

[0035] According to some embodiments of this application, the connecting rod 30 includes a first rod segment 311 and a second rod segment 312. The first rod segment 311 is adapted to cooperate with the fixing buckle 35. The second rod segment 312 is constructed as two segments and is respectively disposed at both ends of the first rod segment 311. The second rod segment 312 is movably cooperated with the first rod segment 311, and the end of the second rod segment 312 away from the first rod segment 311 is connected to the vibration damping rod 20. It is understandable that, since the connecting rod 30 is fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 10, there is relative movement between the connecting rod 30 and the support rod 21 when the outer cylinder 10 vibrates. In order to avoid the connecting rod 30 or the support rod 21 being subjected to excessive force and thus breaking due to the relative movement between the connecting rod 30 and the support rod 21, the rod body 31 of the connecting rod 30 is designed as a multi-segment structure that can move relatively. The first segment 311 is fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 10, and the two second segments 312 are respectively movable and engaged with the two ends of the first segment 311. The two second segments 312 are also respectively connected to the connecting parts 221 of the two damping rods 20. When the outer cylinder 10 vibrates, there is relative movement between the first segment 311 connected to the outer cylinder 10 and the second segment 312 connected to the connecting part 221. The design of the first segment 311 and the second segment 312 can provide displacement margin for the connection between the connecting rod 30 and the support rod 21, and prevent the connecting rod 30 or the support rod 21 from breaking due to excessive force when they move relative to each other.

[0036] According to some embodiments of this application, a first rod segment 311 extends in a first direction, and both ends of the first rod segment 311 form mounting channels 311a extending in the first direction. One end of the second rod segment 312 is movably disposed within the mounting channel 311a. Here, since the support rod 21 and the outer cylinder 10 are connected by a pin, the outer cylinder 10 will sink after a load is applied, and the relative positions of the support rods 21 on both sides will change. In order to ensure that the middle rod 31 is not stretched, the rod 31 needs to include at least two segments that can move relatively. The first rod segment 311 is designed with mounting channels 311a extending in the first direction at both ends, so that the second rod segment 312 can move along the first direction after being disposed in the mounting channel 311a, thus avoiding the rod 31 being stretched.

[0037] According to some embodiments of this application, multiple fixing buckles 35 are constructed, and the multiple fixing buckles 35 are arranged collinearly on the first rod segment 311 or staggered on the first rod segment 311, so as to restrict the rotation of the first rod segment 311 relative to the outer cylinder 10. In some embodiments, the first rod segment 311 may be a straight rod extending along a first direction, and the multiple fixing buckles 35 are arranged collinearly on the first rod segment 311 to fix the first rod segment 311 to the outer cylinder 10 and restrict the rotation of the first rod segment 311 relative to the outer cylinder 10; in other embodiments, at least one bending structure is provided on the first rod segment 311, and the setting of the bending structure allows the multiple fixing buckles 35 to be staggered on the first rod segment 311, which can prevent the first rod segment 311 from rotating relative to the outer cylinder 10 after the first rod segment 311 is fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 10, and the anti-rotation effect is better.

[0038] According to some embodiments of this application, the first rod segment 311 includes a first rod body 3111, a first bent rod 3112, and a second rod body 3113. The first rod body 3111 extends in a first direction and forms an installation channel 311a. The first bent rod 3112 extends in a second direction, and one end of the first bent rod 3112 is connected to the first rod body 3111. The second direction intersects the first direction. The second rod body 3113 is arranged parallel to the first rod body 3111 and is located at at least one end of the first rod body 3111 in the first direction. One end of the second rod body 3113 is connected to the other end of the first bent rod 3112.

[0039] In some embodiments, the two ends of the first rod segment 311 are connected to two second rod segments 312. The two ends of the first rod segment 311 are respectively provided with two first rod bodies 3111 extending in a first direction, and the second rod body 3113 also extends in the first direction. The first bent rod 3112 extends in the second direction and is connected to the first rod body 3111 and the second rod body 3113 respectively. In this case, the two first bent rods 3112 can be connected to the two ends of one second rod body 3113 respectively, or the two first bent rods 3112 can be connected to the two second rod bodies 3113.

[0040] The arrangement of the first rod 3111, the first bent rod 3112, and the second rod 3113 ensures that the first rod segment 311 has at least one bent structure, and that the axes of the first rod 3111, the first bent rod 3112, and the second rod 3113 are not collinear. This prevents the first rod segment 311 from rotating relative to the outer cylinder 10 after it is fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 10. In some embodiments, the fixing buckle 35 is connected to at least two of the first rod 3111, the first bent rod 3112, and the second rod 3113 to fix the first rod segment 311 to the outer cylinder 10 and prevent the first rod segment 311 from rotating relative to the outer cylinder 10 or from rotating on its own.

[0041] According to some embodiments of this application, the first rod segment 311 further includes a second bent rod 3114 and a third rod body 3115. The second bent rod 3114 extends in a second direction, and one end of the second bent rod 3114 is connected to the other end of the second rod body 3113. The third rod body 3115 is arranged parallel to the second rod body 3113 and is connected to the other end of the second bent rod 3114.

[0042] In some embodiments, two first rods 3111 extend in a first direction and are respectively connected to two first bent rods 3112, two first bent rods 3112 extend in a second direction and are respectively connected to two second rods 3113, two second rods 3113 extend in a first direction and are respectively connected to two second bent rods 3114, and two second bent rods 3114 extend in a second direction and are connected to both ends of the same third rod 3115, so as to form a first rod segment 311 with multiple bent portions, so that the first rod segment 311 will not rotate relative to the outer cylinder 10 or rotate on its own after engaging with the second rod segment 312 and the fixing buckle 35, thus ensuring the vibration damping and buffering capacity of the connecting rod 30 for the vibration damping rod 20 and the fixing stability of the connecting rod 30.

[0043] According to some embodiments of this application, multiple fixing buckles 35 cooperate with at least two of the first rod 3111, the first bent rod 3112, the second rod 3113, the second bent rod 3114, and the third rod 3115. In this case, the multiple fixing buckles 35 are staggered along the extension direction of the first rod segment 311, which can restrict the rotation of the first rod segment 311, prevent the first rod segment 311 from rotating relative to the outer cylinder 10, improve the connection stability between the first rod segment 311 and the outer cylinder 10, and also restrict the first rod segment 311 from rotating along its own axial direction. In the embodiment shown in FIG2, the fixing buckles 35 cooperate with the second rod 3113 and the third rod 3115 respectively. In this case, the multiple fixing buckles 35 face the same direction, facilitating the connection between the fixing buckles 35 and the outer cylinder 10.

[0044] According to some embodiments of this application, two second rods 3113 are constructed, with lengths A and C respectively in the first direction. A third rod 3115 has a length B in the first direction, satisfying B ≤ A and B ≤ C. Here, the lengths of the two second rods 3113 and the third rod 3115 in the first direction satisfy B ≤ A and B ≤ C. When the fixing buckle 35 engages with the two second rods 3113 and the third rod 3115, it ensures good connection stiffness between the first rod segment 311 and the outer cylinder 10. In some embodiments, satisfying B ≤ 0.5A and B ≤ 0.5C allows for superior connection stiffness between the first rod segment 311 and the outer cylinder 10.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this application, the diameters of the first bending rod 3112, the second rod 3113, the second bending rod 3114, and the third rod 3115 are d, and the length of the second bending rod 3114 in the second direction is D, and satisfies: D≥2d. This ensures that the first rod segment 311 has good structural strength while ensuring that the first rod segment 311 and the outer cylinder 10 have good connection rigidity.

[0046] According to some embodiments of this application, a second buffer 34 is provided at one end of the second rod segment 312. The second buffer 34 is movably received within the mounting channel 311a and is adapted to attenuate the vibration between the second rod segment 312 and the first rod segment 311. The second rod segment 312 is adapted to slide within the mounting channel 311a. The second buffer 34 can attenuate the vibration between the second rod segment 312 and the inner wall of the mounting channel 311a, and the force transmitted between the second rod segment 312 and the first rod segment 311 is absorbed by the second buffer 34. Providing the second buffer 34 can ensure the connection stability between the second rod segment 312 and the first rod segment 311, reduce the probability of vibration caused by relative movement between the second rod segment 312 and the first rod segment 311, and thus reduce the noise generated by the connection between the second rod segment 312 and the first rod segment 311.

[0047] According to some embodiments of this application, the fixing buckle 35 includes a first plate portion 351, a second plate portion 352, and a third plate portion 353. The first plate portion 351 and the second plate portion 352 are spaced apart in the extending direction, and one end of the first plate portion 351 is directly opposite to one end of the second plate portion 352. The first plate portion 351 and the second plate portion 352 are adapted to be fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 10. One end of the third plate portion 353 is connected to one end of the first plate portion 351, and the other end of the third plate portion 353 is connected to one end of the second plate portion 352. At least a portion of the third plate portion 353 protrudes toward one side in the thickness direction to form a protrusion 3531. The protrusion 3531 forms a groove 3531a on the other side of the third plate portion 353 in the thickness direction.

[0048] The retaining buckle 35 has a protrusion 3531 protruding to one side, and a groove 3531a is formed on the other side of the retaining buckle 35. The groove 3531a is adapted to receive the first rod segment 311. In some embodiments, the retaining buckle 35 can be formed by stamping a sheet metal part, which facilitates the process design of the retaining buckle 35. Here, the sheet metal part is stamped and a protrusion 3531 is formed on one side of the retaining buckle 35 in the thickness direction, and a groove 3531a corresponding to the protrusion 3531 is formed on the other side of the retaining buckle 35 in the thickness direction.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first plate portion 351 and the second plate portion 352 are connected to the outer cylinder 10 by bolts.

[0050] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 30 is connected to at least two damping rods 20. The connecting rod 30 is provided with a second anti-rotation part 3121, which is adapted to cooperate with a first anti-rotation part 200 to lock the connecting rod 30 and the damping rod 20, thereby restricting the connecting rod 30 from rotating relative to the damping rod 20. The damping member 32 is disposed between the first anti-rotation part 200 and the second anti-rotation part 3121.

[0051] In some embodiments, the second segment 312 of the connecting rod 30 includes a second anti-rotation part 3121 and a damping member 32. One end of the second anti-rotation part 3121 is movably disposed in the mounting channel 311a, and the other end of the second anti-rotation part 3121 is provided with a connecting channel 3121a in a second direction, which is orthogonal to the first direction. The damping member 32 is disposed in the connecting channel 3121a, and a second mounting hole 32a is provided on the damping member 32. The damping member 32 is disposed between the anti-rotation protrusion 33 and the inner wall of the connecting channel 3121a. The second anti-rotation part 3121 of the second rod segment 312 is movably engaged with the first rod segment 311. At the same time, the second anti-rotation part 3121 is also connected to the first anti-rotation part of the vibration damping rod. In order to absorb the vibration energy between the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the first anti-rotation part, a damping member 32 is provided between the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the first anti-rotation part. When the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the first anti-rotation part move relative to each other, the flexible damping member 32 can be squeezed to attenuate the force transmitted from the first anti-rotation part and the second anti-rotation part 3121 to each other, ensure the connection stability of the first anti-rotation part and the second anti-rotation part 3121, reduce the probability of vibration caused by the relative movement of the first anti-rotation part and the second anti-rotation part 3121, and thus reduce the noise generated by the connection of the first anti-rotation part and the second anti-rotation part 3121.

[0052] The connecting rod 30 and the damping rod 20 are connected through the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the first anti-rotation part. In order to absorb the vibration energy between the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the first anti-rotation part, a damping member 32 is provided between the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the first anti-rotation part. When the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the first anti-rotation part move relative to each other, the flexible damping member 32 can be squeezed to attenuate the force transmitted from the first anti-rotation part and the second anti-rotation part 3121 to each other, ensure the connection stability of the first anti-rotation part and the second anti-rotation part 3121, reduce the probability of vibration caused by the relative movement of the first anti-rotation part and the second anti-rotation part 3121, and thus reduce the noise generated by the connection of the first anti-rotation part and the second anti-rotation part 3121.

[0053] According to some embodiments of this application, the connecting rod 30 extends in a first direction, and the second anti-rotation part 3121 has an anti-rotation hole in a second direction, which intersects with the first direction. The first anti-rotation part 200 is provided with an anti-rotation protrusion 33, which is adapted to lock into the anti-rotation hole. The end of the second anti-rotation part 3121 with the connecting channel 3121a is adapted to face the connecting part 221. At least a portion of the damping member 32 is disposed between the end of the second anti-rotation part 3121 with the connecting channel 3121a and the connecting part 221. In this case, the at least a portion of the damping member 32 can be used to buffer the vibration between the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the connecting part 221, improve the energy absorption effect of the damping member 32 on the vibration between the connecting part 221 and the second anti-rotation part 3121, and improve the noise reduction effect while reducing the stiffness of the fit between the connecting part 221 and the second anti-rotation part 3121.

[0054] The connecting part 221 has an installation space 2213b inside. The surface of the connecting part 221 in the second direction has a through hole 221a that communicates with the installation space 2213b. The connecting part 221 also has an opening 2213a that is open in the first direction. The opening 2213a communicates with the installation space 2213b and is suitable for the second limiting part to be installed into the installation space 2213b through the opening 2213a. Here, the connecting part 221 includes a first plate 2211, a second plate 2212, and a connecting plate 2213. The first plate 2211 and the second plate 2212 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction and are facing each other and parallel in the second direction. Both the first plate 2211 and the second plate 2212 have through holes 221a. The connecting plate 2213 extends in the second direction and connects to the first plate 2211 and the second plate 2212 respectively. The connecting plate 2213, the first plate 2211, and the second plate 2212 together define an installation space 2213b. The connecting plate 2213 has an opening 2213a. The damping member 32 is disposed in the connecting channel 3121a. The damping member 32 has a second mounting hole 32a suitable for the anti-rotation protrusion 33 to pass through. The damping member 32 is disposed between the anti-rotation protrusion 33 and the inner wall of the connecting channel 3121a.

[0055] According to some embodiments of this application, the two ends of the connecting rod 30 are respectively connected to two damping rods 20 to balance the vibration of the two damping rods 20 connected to the connecting rod 30. The second anti-rotation part 3121 is located at at least one end of the connecting rod 30. In some embodiments, when the garment processing device 1 is working, the outer cylinder 10 will vibrate, and the vibration will generate noise. The damping rods 20 connected to the outer cylinder 10 can reduce the vibration amplitude of the outer cylinder 10, thereby reducing the noise transmitted to the outside of the garment processing device 1. When there are multiple damping rods 20, the multiple damping rods 20 are connected to different positions on the garment processing device 1, and the damping amplitude of each damping rod 20 may be different. Therefore, the connecting rod 30 is designed. The connecting rod 30 is disposed on the outer cylinder 10 and connected to at least two damping rods 20. The connecting rod 30 can balance the vibration between the at least two damping rods 20 connected to it. Through the connection between the connecting rod 30 and the outer cylinder 10, the vibration amplitude of the damping rods 20 connected to the connecting rod 30 relative to the outer cylinder 10 can be reduced, further reducing the noise transmitted to the outside of the garment processing device 1.

[0056] According to some embodiments of this application, the shape of the anti-rotation protrusion 33 is adapted to the shape of the anti-rotation hole, which is a non-circular hole. Here, since the through hole 221a is a non-circular hole, after the anti-rotation protrusion 33 connects the second anti-rotation part 3121 to the connecting part 221, the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the connecting part 221 will not rotate relative to each other. Furthermore, the anti-rotation protrusion 33 and the second anti-rotation part 3121 cooperate in the second direction, which can also prevent the second anti-rotation part 3121 from rotating relative to the connecting part 221, further improving the connection stability between the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the connecting part 221.

[0057] According to some embodiments of this application, the second anti-rotation portion 3121 has a connecting channel 3121a extending in a second direction inside. The two ends of the connecting channel 3121a are open to form anti-rotation holes. An anti-rotation protrusion 33 is received inside the connecting channel 3121a, and the outer surface of the anti-rotation protrusion 33 is adapted to abut against the inner wall surface of the connecting channel 3121a. The end of the second anti-rotation portion 3121 with the connecting channel 3121a is adapted to face the connecting portion 221. At least a portion of the damping member 32 is disposed between the end of the second anti-rotation portion 3121 with the connecting channel 3121a and the connecting portion 221. At this time, the at least a portion of the damping member 32 can be used to buffer the vibration between the second anti-rotation portion 3121 and the connecting portion 221, improve the energy absorption effect of the damping member 32 on the vibration between the connecting portion 221 and the second anti-rotation portion 3121, and improve the noise reduction effect while reducing the stiffness of the fit between the connecting portion 221 and the second anti-rotation portion 3121.

[0058] According to some embodiments of this application, at least a portion of the damping member 32 is disposed between the outer surface of the anti-rotation protrusion 33 and the inner wall surface of the connecting channel 3121a. At least one end of the damping member 32 is formed with an outer edge 321, which protrudes from the outer surface of the damping member 32. The projection of the damping member 32 in the second direction is located within the projection of the outer edge 321 in the second direction. The outer edge 321 is disposed between the end of the second anti-rotation portion 3121 where the connecting channel 3121a is opened and the connecting portion 221. The damping member 32 is disposed between the anti-rotation protrusion 33 and the connecting channel 3121a to buffer the vibration between the anti-rotation protrusion 33 and the second anti-rotation part 3121. The outer edge 321 provided on the damping member 32 is located between the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the first plate 2211 and / or the second plate 2212 to buffer the vibration between the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the first plate 2211 and / or the second plate 2212. This improves the energy absorption effect of the damping member 32 on the vibration between the connecting part 221 and the second anti-rotation part 3121, and can improve the noise reduction effect while reducing the stiffness of the fit between the connecting part 221 and the second anti-rotation part 3121.

[0059] According to some embodiments of this application, the damping rod 20 includes a support rod 21 and a sleeve 22. One end of the support rod 21 is hinged to the outer cylinder 10. The sleeve 22 is movably sleeved on the outer periphery of the support rod 21 and is provided with a first anti-rotation part 200. The damping rod 20 includes a support rod 21 and a connecting part 221. One end of the support rod 21 is hinged to the outer cylinder 10. The connecting part 221 is disposed on the support rod 21 and is adapted to connect with the damping member 32. In some embodiments, the garment processing device 1 further includes a housing with an internal mounting cavity. An outer cylinder 10 is disposed within the mounting cavity. One end of a support rod 21 is hinged to the outer cylinder 10, and the other end of the support rod 21 is hinged to the inner wall of the mounting cavity. When the outer cylinder 10 vibrates, the support rod 21 rotates slightly about the end hinged to the inner wall of the mounting cavity. A connecting rod 30 connects the two support rods 21 and the outer cylinder 10, which reduces the rotation amplitude of the two support rods 21, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the damping rod 20 and reducing the noise transmitted to the outside of the garment processing device 1. Here, a connecting portion 221 is provided on the support rod 21 to connect with the damping member 32 of the connecting rod 30. The damping member 32 can attenuate the vibration amplitude between the connecting portion 221 and the rod 31, thereby achieving vibration reduction.

[0060] The vibration damping rod 20 also includes a sleeve 22, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the support rod 21. The sleeve 22 is provided with a connecting portion 221. The sleeve 22 is adapted to rub against the outer periphery of the support rod 21 to attenuate the vibration transmitted between the support rod 21 and the sleeve 22. In some embodiments, a mounting cavity is formed inside the housing of the garment processing device 1. One end of the support rod 21 is hinged to the outer cylinder 10, and the other end of the support rod 21 is hinged to the inner wall of the mounting cavity. When the outer cylinder 10 vibrates, the support rod 21 rotates slightly about the end hinged to the inner wall of the mounting cavity. The connecting rod 30 connects the two support rods 21 and connects them to the outer cylinder 10.

[0061] According to some embodiments of this application, the first anti-rotation part 200 includes a connecting part 221 and a fixing member. The connecting part 221 is disposed on the sleeve 22, and the connecting part 221 has a through hole 221a in a second direction. The shape of the through hole 221a is adapted to the shape of the anti-rotation hole. The fixing member is configured with an anti-rotation protrusion 33, which passes through the through hole 221a and the anti-rotation hole to lock the connecting rod 30 and the damping rod 20. The connecting part 221 is provided with the through hole 221a, and the damping member 32 is provided with a second mounting hole 32a. The anti-rotation protrusion 33 passes through the through hole 221a and the second mounting hole 32a to connect the connecting part 221 and the damping member 32. It is understandable that the anti-rotation protrusion 33 can be used solely to connect the connecting part 221 and the damping member 32. Alternatively, the connecting part 221 and the damping member 32 can be fixed together by other structural components, or the anti-rotation protrusion 33 can be used to fix the connecting part 221 and the damping member 32 without the involvement of other structural components. Here, the anti-rotation protrusion 33 can pass through the through hole 221a and the second mounting hole 32a and be threaded into the through hole 221a and / or the second mounting hole 32a to achieve the connection between the anti-rotation protrusion 33 and the connecting part 221 and the damping member 32. Alternatively, the anti-rotation protrusion 33 can pass through the through hole 221a and the second mounting hole 32a and be fastened to other structural components to achieve the connection between the anti-rotation protrusion 33 and the connecting part 221 and the damping member 32.

[0062] When the garment processing equipment 1 is not in operation, the two support rods 21 in a set of vibration damping components are tilted towards each other. At this time, the support rods 21 have a good supporting effect on the outer cylinder 10. When the support rods 21 rotate slightly, since the connecting rod 30 connects the two support rods 21, the two support rods 21 may rotate towards each other. The distance between the two support rods 21 is closer. A sleeve 22 that can move relative to the support rods 21 is provided, and a connecting part 221 connected to the vibration damping rod is designed on the sleeve 22 so that the sleeve 22 can move while the support rods 21 rotate, thereby driving the connecting rod 30 to slide down. Since the connecting part 221 of the sleeve 22 is relatively fixedly connected to the damping element 32 of the connecting rod 30, that is, the sleeve 22 and the connecting rod 30 will not rotate relative to each other. So when the support rods 21 rotate, the sleeve 22 will inhibit the support rods 21 from continuing to rotate, thereby reducing the rotation amplitude of the support rods 21, and thus reducing the vibration amplitude of the vibration damping rod 20, reducing the noise transmitted to the outside of the garment processing equipment 1.

[0063] When the sleeve 22 moves relative to the support rod 21, the sleeve 22 will rub against the outer periphery of the support rod 21, which can also attenuate the vibration transmitted between the support rod 21 and the sleeve 22, and improve the vibration reduction effect of the damping rod 20.

[0064] According to some embodiments of this application, the end of the second anti-rotation part 3121 with the connecting channel 3121a is directly opposite to the first anti-rotation part 200, and at least a portion of the damping member 32 is disposed between the end of the second anti-rotation part 3121 with the connecting channel 3121a and the first anti-rotation part 200.

[0065] The end of the second anti-rotation part 3121 with the connecting channel 3121a is adapted to face the connecting part 221. At least a portion of the damping member 32 is disposed between the end of the second anti-rotation part 3121 with the connecting channel 3121a and the connecting part 221. At this time, the above-mentioned at least a portion of the damping member 32 can be used to buffer the vibration between the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the connecting part 221, improve the energy absorption effect of the damping member 32 on the vibration between the connecting part 221 and the second anti-rotation part 3121, and improve the noise reduction effect while reducing the stiffness of the fit between the connecting part 221 and the second anti-rotation part 3121.

[0066] According to some embodiments of this application, at least one end of the damping member 32 is formed with an outer edge 321. The outer edge 321 protrudes from the outer surface of the damping member 32. The projection of the damping member 32 in the second direction is located within the projection of the outer edge 321 in the second direction. The outer edge 321 is disposed between the end of the second anti-rotation part 3121 where the connecting channel 3121a is opened and the first anti-rotation part 200. The damping member 32 is disposed between the anti-rotation protrusion 33 and the connecting channel 3121a to buffer the vibration between the anti-rotation protrusion 33 and the second anti-rotation part 3121. The outer edge 321 provided on the damping member 32 is located between the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the first plate 2211 and / or the second plate 2212 to buffer the vibration between the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the first plate 2211 and / or the second plate 2212. This improves the energy absorption effect of the damping member 32 on the vibration between the connecting part 221 and the second anti-rotation part 3121, and can improve the noise reduction effect while reducing the stiffness of the fit between the connecting part 221 and the second anti-rotation part 3121.

[0067] A second buffer 34 is provided at one end of the second anti-rotation part 3121. The second buffer 34 is movably housed in the mounting channel 311a and is adapted to attenuate the vibration between the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the first rod segment 311. The second anti-rotation part 3121 is adapted to slide within the mounting channel 311a. The second buffer 34 can attenuate the vibration between the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the inner wall of the mounting channel 311a. Furthermore, the force transmitted between the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the first rod segment 311 is absorbed by the second buffer 34. The provision of the second buffer 34 can ensure the connection stability between the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the first rod segment 311, reduce the probability of vibration caused by relative movement between the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the first rod segment 311, and thus reduce the noise generated by the connection between the second anti-rotation part 3121 and the first rod segment 311.

[0068] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2, 5, and 6, the second buffer member 34 is sleeved on the second anti-rotation portion 3121. At least one end of the second buffer member 34 is formed with a flange 341, which protrudes from the outer surface of the second buffer member 34. The axial projection of the second buffer member 34 is located within the axial projection of the flange 341. The flange 341 is adapted to abut against the end face of the connecting rod that forms a connecting channel 3121a, so as to limit the displacement of the second anti-rotation portion 3121 relative to the first rod segment 311 and prevent the second anti-rotation portion 3121 from disengaging from the mounting channel 311a of the first rod segment 311.

[0069] According to some embodiments of this application, the garment processing equipment further includes a housing, an installation cavity is formed inside the housing, an outer cylinder 10 is disposed in the installation cavity, one end of the damping rod 20 is hinged to the outer cylinder 10 and the other end is hinged to the inner wall of the installation cavity; wherein the distance in the direction of gravity between the hinge point of the damping rod 20 and the outer cylinder 10 and the hinge point of the damping rod 20 and the inner wall of the installation cavity is b, and the distance in the direction of gravity between the hinge point of the damping rod 20 and the outer cylinder 10 and the connection point of the damping rod 20 and the connecting rod 30 is a, and satisfies: 0≤a≤b.

[0070] As shown in Figures 1-12, the garment processing device 1 according to this application includes: a housing, an outer cylinder 10, vibration damping rods 20, and a connecting rod 30. An installation cavity is formed inside the housing. The outer cylinder 10 is disposed within the installation cavity. One end of the vibration damping rod 20 is hinged to the outer cylinder 10, and the other end is hinged to the inner wall of the installation cavity. Multiple vibration damping rods 20 are configured to be spaced apart. The connecting rod 30 is connected to at least two vibration damping rods 20. The distance in the direction of gravity between the hinge point of the vibration damping rod 20 and the outer cylinder 10 and the hinge point of the vibration damping rod 20 and the inner wall of the installation cavity is b. The distance in the direction of gravity between the hinge point of the vibration damping rod 20 and the outer cylinder 10 and the connection point of the vibration damping rod 20 and the connecting rod 30 is a, and satisfies: 0 ≤ a ≤ b. In some embodiments, when the garment processing device 1 is operating, the outer cylinder 10 vibrates, and this vibration generates noise. The vibration damping rods 20 connected to the outer cylinder 10 can reduce the vibration amplitude of the outer cylinder 10, thereby reducing the noise transmitted to the outside of the garment processing device 1. When there are multiple damping rods 20, the multiple damping rods 20 are connected to different positions on the garment processing equipment 1. The damping amplitude of each damping rod 20 may be different. Therefore, a connecting rod 30 is designed. The connecting rod 30 is connected to at least two damping rods 20. The connecting rod 30 can balance the vibration between the at least two damping rods 20 connected to it, so as to reduce the vibration amplitude of the damping rod 20 connected to the connecting rod 30 relative to the outer cylinder 10, and further reduce the noise transmitted to the outside of the garment processing equipment 1.

[0071] To ensure good vibration damping effect, the following condition must be met: 0 ≤ a ≤ b. When a = 0, the connecting rod 30 is connected to the connection point of the damping rod 20 and the outer cylinder 10. At this time, at least two damping rods 20 are spaced apart in the axial direction of the outer cylinder 10. The connecting rod 30 can extend along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 10 and fit against the outer surface of the outer cylinder to connect with the damping rod 20. When a = b, the connecting rod 30 is connected to the connection point of the damping rod 20 and the shell. When 0 ≤ a ≤ b is met, the connecting rod 30 can play the role of balancing the vibration of the damping rod 20.

[0072] According to the clothing processing equipment of this application, a connecting rod 30 is provided to connect at least two damping rods 20, which can balance the vibration between the at least two damping rods 20 connected thereto, reduce the eccentricity of the outer cylinder 10, thereby reducing vibration noise and improving the user experience.

[0073] According to some embodiments of this application, the two damping rods 20 connected to the connecting rod 30 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction and satisfy: 0.2b≤a≤b. At this time, the connecting rod 30 connects the two damping rods 20 spaced apart in the circumferential direction to balance the vibration between the two damping rods 20, reduce the vibration amplitude of the damping rods 20 connected to the connecting rod 30 relative to the outer cylinder 10, and further reduce the noise transmitted to the outside of the garment processing equipment 1.

[0074] According to some embodiments of this application, the connecting rod 30 is adapted to connect to the outer surface of the outer cylinder 10, and satisfies: 0.2b≤a≤0.6b. The connecting rod 30 is disposed on the outer cylinder 10 and connected to two damping rods 20. The connecting rod 30 can balance the vibration between the two damping rods 20, and through the connection between the connecting rod 30 and the outer cylinder 10, the vibration amplitude of the damping rods 20 connected to the connecting rod 30 relative to the outer cylinder 10 can be reduced, further reducing the noise transmitted to the outside of the garment processing equipment 1 and improving the user experience.

[0075] According to some embodiments of this application, a mating portion 3521b is formed on the fixing buckle 35 for accommodating the vibration damping structural member 17. The mating portion 3521b is at least partially abutted against the wall surface of the vibration damping structural member 17 to restrict the movement of the vibration damping structural member 17. This enhances the stability of the vibration damping structural member 17, enabling it to reliably perform its vibration damping function. Through the connection between the fixing buckle 35 and the outer cylinder 10, the vibration damping structural member 17 is constrained by the fixing buckle 35 and the outer cylinder 10. Between the fixing buckle 35 and the outer cylinder 10, the vibration generated by the outer cylinder 10 can be effectively absorbed and dispersed, reducing noise and shaking during equipment operation.

[0076] Therefore, according to the garment processing device 1 of this application, by providing a mating part on the fixing buckle 35, the vibration damping structure 17 is fixed between the fixing buckle 35 and the outer cylinder 10, so that it can reliably perform vibration damping function.

[0077] It should be noted that the mating part 3521b is used to accommodate and fix the vibration damping structure 17. The shape, size, and position of the mating part 3521b are determined according to the specific shape and installation requirements of the vibration damping structure 17 to ensure that the two can fit tightly together, thereby achieving effective fixation and support. The inner wall of the mating part 3521b can be in close contact with the outer wall of the vibration damping structure 17, restricting the movement of the vibration damping structure 17 through physical contact, so that it can maintain a stable position during the operation of the garment processing equipment 1 and give full play to its vibration damping effect.

[0078] The vibration damping structure 17 can be made of an elastic material, such as rubber or silicone, giving it excellent shock absorption and cushioning performance. When the outer cylinder 10 vibrates during garment processing, the connecting rod 30 makes soft contact with the outer cylinder 10 through the vibration damping structure 17. The vibration damping structure 17 deforms using its material properties, converting the received vibration energy into its own internal energy, thereby significantly reducing the vibration amplitude and frequency. Simultaneously, the vibration damping structure 17 is tightly embedded in the limiting groove 121, ensuring a close fit between it and the connecting rod 30 and the outer cylinder 10, further enhancing the vibration damping effect and improving the overall stability and durability of the equipment.

[0079] According to some embodiments of this application, the mating part 3521b is constructed as a through hole penetrating the fixing buckle 35. At least a portion of the vibration damping structural member 17 passes through the through hole, allowing the vibration damping structural member 17 to be embedded in the fixing buckle 35, forming a tight connection with the fixing buckle 35 through the through hole. After the vibration damping structural member 17 partially passes through the through hole, not only is its stability enhanced, but it can also more efficiently absorb and disperse vibration energy from the outer cylinder 10. The positioning and constraint of the vibration damping structural member 17 through the through hole effectively reduces the shaking phenomenon during equipment operation.

[0080] According to some embodiments of this application, the mating part 3521b is constructed as a groove provided inside the fixing buckle 35, and at least a portion of the vibration damping structural member 17 is embedded in the groove. After at least a portion of the vibration damping structural member 17 is embedded in the groove, not only is its secure installation in the support structure achieved, but its efficiency in absorbing and dispersing the vibration energy of the outer cylinder 10 is also significantly improved. Through the fitting and constraint of the groove on the vibration damping structural member 17, the vibration amplitude during equipment operation is effectively reduced.

[0081] According to some embodiments of this application, the vibration damping structure 17 and the mating part 3521b abut against each other in the extension direction of the connecting rod 30, thereby constraining the vibration damping structure 17 in the extension direction of the connecting rod 30 by the mating part 3521b, effectively preventing relative movement between the two in the extension direction of the connecting rod 30. Through the close contact between the vibration damping structure 17 and the mating part 3521b in the extension direction of the connecting rod 30, the overall stability of the support structure is further improved, providing a more reliable vibration damping effect for the equipment.

[0082] According to some embodiments of this application, the outer surface of the vibration damping structure 17 has a radially protruding limiting segment 171. The limiting segment 171 is embedded in the through hole or limiting groove 121, and the axial end face of the limiting segment 171 abuts against the through hole or limiting groove 121. This effectively constrains the vibration damping structure 17 in the axial direction through the limiting segment 171, thus effectively preventing the vibration damping structure 17 from moving in the axial direction. The tight axial fit between the limiting segment 171 and the through hole or limiting groove 121 further enhances the overall stability of the support structure, providing more reliable vibration damping performance for the equipment.

[0083] According to some embodiments of this application, the mating part 3521b is constructed as a through hole formed in the third plate part 353. The through hole extends through the thickness direction of the third plate part, and the two axially oriented edges of the through hole respectively abut against the limiting segment 171. Through the through hole, the vibration damping structure 17 is effectively constrained and positioned in the axial direction. The direct contact between its two axially oriented edges and the vibration damping structure 17 further enhances the fixing effect of the third plate part 353 on the vibration damping structure 17, which not only improves the installation stability of the vibration damping structure 17, but also optimizes its performance during operation.

[0084] According to some embodiments of this application, the outer cylinder 10 is provided with a limiting groove 121 for accommodating the vibration damping structure 17. The limiting groove 121 not only provides an installation position for the vibration damping structure 17 and facilitates its installation, but also restricts the movement of the vibration damping structure 17 through physical constraints, thereby further enhancing the structural stability of the entire garment processing equipment 1, enabling the connecting rod 30 to more stably constrain the vibration of the outer cylinder 10 and reduce noise generation.

[0085] According to some embodiments of this application, the garment processing device 1 further includes a vibration damping rod 20, one end of which is connected to the base 11 and the other end to the outer cylinder 10. By connecting the vibration damping rod 20 between the outer cylinder 10 and the base 11 of the garment processing device 1, the vibration damping rod 20 not only provides support but also absorbs and disperses vibration energy to reduce noise and shaking during device operation. The vibration damping rod 20 is adapted to extend and retract in the extension direction to buffer the vibration of the outer cylinder 10. When subjected to external force, the vibration damping rod 20 effectively absorbs and disperses vibration energy by extending and retracting in the extension direction. The end of the connecting rod 30 is connected to the vibration damping rod 20 to the base 11, so that the vibration energy borne by the connecting rod 30 can be directly transmitted to the vibration damping rod 20, and then transmitted to the base 11 after being absorbed and dispersed by the vibration damping rod 20, thus more effectively reducing the impact on the base 11.

[0086] According to some embodiments of this application, the vibration damping rod 20 is adapted to connect the outer cylinder 10 of the garment processing equipment 1 to the base 11. A groove portion 141 is formed on the vibration damping rod 20 to accommodate the extension section 133. By providing the groove portion 141 on the vibration damping rod 20, which accommodates the extension section 133 of the connecting rod 30, the vibration damping rod 20 can achieve a stable connection with the connecting rod 30, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire support structure. This also facilitates the connection and disassembly of the extension section 133 and the vibration damping rod 20, improving maintenance convenience.

[0087] According to some embodiments of this application, a groove portion 141 is formed on the damping rod 20, and a mounting groove 210 is formed within the groove portion 141; a connector 1331 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 30, and the connector 1331 is embedded in the mounting groove 210 and movably connected to the groove portion 141. By providing the connector 1331 at the end of the extension section 133 and allowing it to move within the mounting groove 210, not only is the flexibility between components enhanced, but precise positioning and connection are also facilitated. When the connecting rod 30 moves under the drive of the outer cylinder 10, the mobility of the connector 1331 allows the extension section 133 to adjust its position with the movement of the connecting rod 30, ensuring a stable connection state during dynamic processes, so that the damping rod 20 can stably and effectively absorb vibrations.

[0088] According to some embodiments of this application, the outer surface of the outer cylinder 10 is formed with a mounting portion for mounting the connecting rod 30. By providing the mounting portion on the outer surface of the outer cylinder 10, the connecting rod 30 can cooperate with the mounting portion to be fixed to the outer cylinder 10, so that the connecting rod 30 can stabilize and support the outer cylinder 10, thereby enhancing the stability of the outer cylinder 10 and its balance during operation. Fixing the connecting rod 30 to the outer cylinder 10 can effectively increase the rigidity of the support structure, effectively support and constrain the outer cylinder 10, and reduce the vibration generated by the clothing handling equipment 1 during operation.

[0089] It should be noted that the specific structure of the mounting part includes, but is not limited to, bolt holes, snap-fit ​​parts, etc., which makes the installation of the connecting rod 30 both simple and quick, and ensures a firm and reliable connection.

[0090] According to some embodiments of this application, the mounting part is configured as a limiting groove 121 formed on the outer surface of the outer cylinder 10. By configuring the mounting part as a limiting groove 121 formed on the outer surface of the outer cylinder 10, the limiting groove 121 not only provides an installation position for the connecting rod 30 and facilitates the installation of the connecting rod 30, but also restricts the movement of the connecting rod 30 through physical constraints, thereby further enhancing the structural stability of the entire garment processing equipment 1, enabling the connecting rod 30 to more stably constrain the vibration of the outer cylinder 10 and reduce noise generation.

[0091] According to some embodiments of this application, a protruding boss 122 is formed on the bottom outer peripheral wall of the outer cylinder 10, and a limiting groove 121 is formed on the boss 122. The presence of the boss 122 not only enhances the overall structural strength of the outer cylinder 10, making it more robust and durable when subjected to various forces and pressures generated during operation, but also, by changing the shape of the outer cylinder 10, makes its outer surface more regular and flat, which is conducive to the formation of the limiting groove 121 and provides convenience for the subsequent assembly and positioning of the connecting rod 30. The limiting groove 121 formed on the boss 122 can compensate for the potential impact of the formation of the limiting groove 121 on the local strength of the outer cylinder 10, and also makes the shape and position of the limiting groove 121 more convenient for the assembly and positioning of the connecting rod 30.

[0092] According to some embodiments of this application, the mounting part is configured as a limiting groove 121 formed on the outer surface of the outer cylinder, and at least a portion of the connecting rod 30 is received within the limiting groove 121 and fixed to the outer cylinder 10. By configuring the mounting part as a limiting groove 121 formed on the outer surface of the outer cylinder, the limiting groove 121 not only provides an installation position for the connecting rod 30 and facilitates the installation of the connecting rod 30, but also restricts the movement of the connecting rod 30 through physical constraints, thereby further enhancing the structural stability of the entire garment processing equipment 1, enabling the connecting rod 30 to more stably constrain the vibration of the outer cylinder 10 and reduce noise generation.

[0093] According to some embodiments of this application, the connecting rod 30 is provided with at least one connection point, which is fixed to the outer cylinder 10. The connection point refers to the part where the connecting rod 30 and the outer cylinder 10 achieve a tight connection, ensuring force transmission and maintaining their relative positions. The connecting rod 30 can have one or more connection points. The specific number of connecting rods 30 can be determined based on the expected vibration reduction and stability requirements of the garment processing equipment 1. Multiple connection points help to distribute the load more evenly, improving the stability of the outer cylinder 10.

[0094] According to some embodiments of this application, the garment processing device 1 further includes a vibration damping structure 17, which is sleeved on at least a portion of the outer periphery of the connecting rod 30 and embedded in the limiting groove 121. The vibration damping structure 17 can further improve the vibration damping efficiency of the connecting rod 30, ensuring the stability of the garment processing device 1 during operation. By sleeved on at least a portion of the outer periphery of the connecting rod 30 and embedded in the limiting groove 121, the vibration damping structure 17 can effectively absorb and disperse the vibration energy transmitted from the outer cylinder 10, thereby reducing the noise level during device operation and reducing shaking.

[0095] Specifically, the vibration damping structure 17 can be made of an elastic material, such as rubber or silicone, giving it excellent shock absorption and cushioning performance. When the outer cylinder 10 vibrates during garment processing, the connecting rod 30 makes soft contact with the outer cylinder 10 through the vibration damping structure 17. The vibration damping structure 17 deforms using its material properties, converting the received vibration energy into its own internal energy, thereby significantly reducing the vibration amplitude and frequency. Simultaneously, the vibration damping structure 17 is tightly embedded in the limiting groove 121, ensuring a close fit between it and the connecting rod 30 and the outer cylinder 10, further enhancing the vibration damping effect and improving the overall stability and durability of the equipment.

[0096] According to some embodiments of this application, a protruding boss 122 is formed on the bottom outer peripheral wall of the outer cylinder 10. A limiting groove 121 is formed on the boss 122, and the limiting groove 121 passes through the boss 122 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the outer cylinder 10. The presence of the boss 122 not only enhances the overall structural strength of the outer cylinder 10, making it more robust and durable when subjected to various forces and pressures generated during operation, but also makes its outer surface more regular and flat by changing the shape of the outer cylinder 10, which is conducive to the formation of the limiting groove 121 and provides convenience for the subsequent assembly and positioning of the connecting rod 30. A limiting groove 121 is formed on the boss portion 122. The limiting groove 121 extends through the boss portion 122 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the outer cylinder 10, so that the connecting rod 30 can pass through the limiting groove 121 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the outer cylinder 10. The first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132 are set in the limiting groove 121. This not only provides positioning and guidance for the installation of the connecting rod 30, but also ensures the stability and firmness after connection, thereby improving the stability and safety of the garment processing equipment 1 during operation.

[0097] According to some embodiments of this application, a protruding step portion 1211 is formed within the limiting groove 121. The step portion 1211 is adapted to abut against the vibration damping structure 17 in the axial direction to limit the movement of the vibration damping structure 17. Through the axial abutment between the step portion 1211 and the vibration damping structure 17, the axial movement of the vibration damping structure 17 is effectively limited, ensuring that it is securely housed within the limiting groove 121, thus guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the vibration damping structure 17 during equipment operation. The shape and size of the step portion 1211 ensure a tight and reliable fit with the vibration damping structure 17, not only improving the stability of the connection between the vibration damping structure 17 and the outer cylinder 10, but also further enhancing the smoothness and durability of the entire garment processing equipment 1 during operation.

[0098] According to some embodiments of this application, a plurality of bosses 122 are provided on both sides of the outer cylinder 10 in the width direction and spaced apart in the thickness direction of the outer cylinder 10 (i.e., in a direction parallel to the axis of the outer cylinder 10). The plurality of bosses 122 can provide more connection points for the connecting rod 30, thereby constraining the outer cylinder 10 at different positions and reducing vibration and shaking caused by eccentricity.

[0099] Specifically, each boss portion 122 has a limiting groove 121, and the connecting rod 30 can be installed by cooperating with the limiting groove 121 through the vibration damping structure 17, so that the connecting rod 30 can be firmly connected to the boss portion 122 through the vibration damping structure 17. The limiting groove 121 can not only effectively fix the vibration damping structure 17 and prevent it from shifting during operation, but also provide a certain deformation space for the vibration damping structure 17 so as to better absorb and disperse vibration energy.

[0100] According to some embodiments of this application, the garment processing device 1 further includes a fixing buckle 35, which is disposed on the side of the vibration damping structure 17 opposite to the limiting groove 121. By disposing of the fixing buckle 35 on the side of the vibration damping structure 17 opposite to the limiting groove 121, the connection strength between the connecting rod 30 and the outer cylinder 10 can be further enhanced, and an additional support surface can be provided for the vibration damping structure 17 to further strengthen the fixing effect on the vibration damping structure 17. At least a portion of the fixing buckle 35 is fixed to the boss portion 122. The vibration damping structure 17 is constrained by the fixing buckle 35 and the boss portion 122, and can effectively absorb and disperse the vibration generated by the outer cylinder 10 between the fixing buckle 35 and the outer cylinder 10, reducing the noise and shaking during equipment operation.

[0101] According to some embodiments of this application, the fixing buckle 35 includes a first plate portion 351 and a second plate portion 352. The first plate portion 351 and the second plate portion 352 are respectively fixed to the boss portion 122, thereby realizing the connection between the fixing buckle 35 and the outer cylinder 10, so that the fixing buckle 35 and the outer cylinder 10 cooperate to realize the fixing of the vibration damping structure 17. The first plate portion 351 and the second plate portion 352 are located on both sides of the limiting groove 121, which facilitates the fixed connection between the first plate portion 351 and the second plate portion 352 and the boss portion 122, and allows the third plate portion 353 between the first plate portion 351 and the second plate portion 352 to be attached to the side of the vibration damping structure 17 away from the limiting groove 121 to prevent the vibration damping structure 17 from disengaging from the limiting groove 121.

[0102] The fixing buckle 35 also includes a third plate portion 353, the two ends of which are connected to the first plate portion 351 and the second plate portion 352 respectively to form an integral structure. After the first plate portion 351 and the second plate portion 352 are connected to the boss portion 122 respectively, the third plate portion 353 will be attached to the side of the vibration damping structure 17 away from the limiting groove 121 to prevent the vibration damping structure 17 from disengaging from the limiting groove 121. By tightly attaching the third plate portion 353 to the vibration damping structure 17, it ensures that the vibration damping structure 17 can be stably held in the limiting groove 121, thereby maintaining the overall stability and vibration damping effect of the garment processing equipment 1.

[0103] It should be noted that the fixing method between the first plate portion 351 and the second plate portion 352 and the boss portion 122, such as bolt connection, welding or snap connection, can be flexibly selected according to actual needs and manufacturing costs to ensure the reliability and durability of the connection.

[0104] According to some embodiments of this application, the vibration damping structure 17 includes a limiting section 171 that protrudes radially outward to provide a stable axial constraint. The vibration damping structure 17 also includes a mating section disposed at at least one end of the limiting section 171 and coaxially with it. The diameter of the mating section is smaller than that of the limiting section 171 to facilitate installation and fitting. A groove or through-hole is formed on the third plate portion 353 to mate with the limiting section 171. The shape and size of the groove or through-hole are precisely designed to accommodate the limiting section 171, thereby achieving precise positioning and a secure connection between the vibration damping structure 17 and the third plate portion 353, improving its efficiency in absorbing and dispersing the vibration energy of the outer cylinder 10. The limiting section 171 is embedded into the through-hole or groove, and its axial end face abuts against the through-hole or groove, so that the vibration damping structure 17 is effectively constrained axially by the through-hole or groove through its limiting flange, effectively preventing movement of the vibration damping structure 17 in the axial direction. The tight axial fit between the limiting section 171 and the through hole or groove further enhances the overall stability of the support structure and provides more reliable vibration reduction performance for the equipment.

[0105] The third plate portion 353 has a groove or through hole that mates with the limiting section 171, which can be collectively referred to as the mating portion 3531b. The mating portion 3531b shown in the figure is a through hole. Of course, in other embodiments, the mating portion 3531b can also be a groove.

[0106] According to some embodiments of this application, the garment processing device 1 further includes vibration damping rods 20, which are configured in multiple ways, each adapted to connect the outer cylinder 10 to the base 11. By connecting the vibration damping rods 20 between the outer cylinder 10 and the base 11 of the garment processing device 1, the vibration damping rods 20 not only provide support but also absorb and disperse vibration energy to reduce noise and shaking during device operation. Multiple vibration damping rods 20 can be flexibly arranged in different positions, ensuring balanced and stable support for the outer cylinder 10 in multiple directions. The end of the connecting rod 30 is connected to the vibration damping rod 20, further increasing the rigidity of the support structure and enhancing its ability to constrain the vibration of the outer cylinder 10.

[0107] According to some embodiments of this application, a groove portion 141 is formed on the damping rod 20, and a mounting groove 1413 is formed within the groove portion 141; a connector 1331 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 30, and the connector 1331 is embedded in the mounting groove 1413 and movably connected to the groove portion 141. By providing the connector 1331 at the end of the extension section 133 and allowing it to move within the mounting groove 1413, not only is the flexibility between components enhanced, but precise positioning and connection are also facilitated. When the connecting rod 30 moves under the drive of the outer cylinder 10, the mobility of the connector 1331 allows the extension section 133 to adjust its position with the movement of the connecting rod 30, ensuring a stable connection state during dynamic processes, so that the damping rod 20 can stably and effectively absorb vibrations.

[0108] According to some embodiments of this application, the connecting rod 30 is provided with a first connecting section 131 and a second connecting section 132, which are fixed to the outer cylinder 10 of the garment processing device 1. By fixing the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132 to the outer cylinder 10 of the garment processing device 1 respectively, the connecting rod 30 can constrain the movement of the outer cylinder 10 and reduce its shaking caused by uneven distribution of garments. Extension sections 133 are formed at both ends of the connecting rod 30, and the ends of the extension sections 133 are fixed to the vibration damping rod 20 to increase stability. By fixing the vibration damping rod 20 to the connecting rod 30, the vibration damping rod 20 can absorb and disperse vibration energy to reduce the noise and shaking generated by the garment processing device 1 during operation, thereby improving the overall performance of the device and the user experience.

[0109] The plane containing the central axis of the outer cylinder 10 is the projection plane, which can be any plane containing the central axis. In the orthographic projection of the connecting rod 30 onto the projection plane, the relative positional relationships between the midpoint of the first connecting segment 131, the midpoint of the second connecting segment 13, and the endpoint of the connecting rod 30 can be obtained. The different positions of the first connecting segment 131 and the second connecting segment 132 directly affect the constraint effect and vibration reduction effect of the connecting rod 30 on the outer cylinder 10.

[0110] The distance between the midpoint of the first connecting segment 131 and the midpoint of the second connecting segment 13 is L1, which reflects the relative distance between them. The distance between the midpoint of the first connecting segment 131 and the endpoint of the adjacent connecting rod 30 is L2. When the first connecting segment 131 is located in the middle of the connecting rod 30, L2 is the distance between the midpoint of the first connecting segment 131 and any endpoint of the connecting rod 30. When the first connecting segment 131 is located in other positions on the connecting rod 30, and is biased to one side of the connecting rod 30, L2 is the distance to the endpoint of the connecting rod 30 pointing to that biased side. The distance between the midpoint of the second connecting segment 132 and the endpoint of the adjacent connecting rod 30 is L3. When the second connecting segment 132 is located in the middle of the connecting rod 30, L3 is the distance between the midpoint of the second connecting segment 132 and any endpoint of the connecting rod 30. When the second connecting segment 132 is located at other positions on the connecting rod 30, the second connecting segment 132 is biased to either side of the connecting rod 30, and L3 is the distance from the endpoint of the connecting rod 30 pointing to the biased side. Of course, at most one of the first connecting segment 131 and the second connecting segment 132 can be located at the middle position of the connecting rod 30. L1, L2, and L3 satisfy: 0 < (L2 + L3) / L1 < 1.

[0111] When the ratio of (L2+L3) / L1 is small, the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132 are relatively concentrated, which can effectively limit the movement of the outer cylinder 10. The extension section 133 is more dispersed on both sides, which can absorb and disperse the vibration energy from the outer cylinder 10, reducing the noise and shaking generated during equipment operation.

[0112] When the ratio of (L2+L3) / L1 is close to 0.5, the distance between the first connecting segment 131 and the second connecting segment 132 and the extension segment 133 is relatively balanced, and the support structure exhibits a wide range of adaptability in response to different loads and vibration conditions.

[0113] When the ratio of (L2+L3) / L1 is close to 1, the first connecting segment 131 and the second connecting segment 132 are relatively dispersed and closer to the extension segment 133, which can provide a certain degree of support and constraint.

[0114] According to the support structure of this application, 0 < (L2 + L3) / L1 < 1. The connecting rod 30 provides sufficient constraint while also achieving effective vibration reduction through the extension section 133 and the damping rod 20. When the ratio is within this range, the connecting rod 30 can both restrict the movement of the outer cylinder 10, reducing swaying caused by uneven clothing distribution, and absorb and disperse vibration energy, reducing noise and swaying during equipment operation. This results in the support structure exhibiting excellent stability and vibration reduction performance in the clothing processing equipment 1, improving the overall performance of the equipment and the user experience.

[0115] Therefore, according to the support structure of this application, by limiting the ratio of (L2+L3) / L1 to between 0 and 1, the support structure can effectively constrain the movement of the outer cylinder 10 while absorbing and dispersing vibration energy through the damping rod 20 connected by the extension section 133, significantly reducing the noise and shaking during equipment operation, thereby improving the overall stability and vibration reduction performance of the equipment.

[0116] It should be noted that the above table contains vibration test data of the garment processing equipment according to different embodiments of this application. As can be seen from the figure, the ratio of L2+L3 to L1 has a significant impact on the vibration performance of the garment processing equipment. In some embodiments, the table shows vibration test data under four different ratio configurations: L2+L3 = 0.25L1, L2+L3 = 0.5L1, L2+L3 = 0.75L1, and L2+L3 = 1.5L1. The table also details the vibration performance of the equipment under various operating conditions based on different eccentric loads and rotational speeds.

[0117] With the configuration of L2+L3=0.25L1, the vibration amplitude of the equipment increases with the increase of eccentric load and rotational speed, but remains at a low level overall.

[0118] When L2+L3=0.5L1, the vibration performance of the equipment under different eccentric loads and speeds is very stable. Test data shows that even under higher loads and speeds, the vibration amplitude of the equipment increases slightly, and the vibration frequency is relatively uniform.

[0119] When the ratio was further adjusted to L2+L3=0.75L1, the vibration characteristics of the equipment began to change. Under low eccentric load and medium speed conditions, the vibration amplitude remained within a relatively controllable range, showing good stability. However, with the increase of eccentric load and further increase of speed, the vibration amplitude increased, indicating that under this ratio configuration, the equipment became more sensitive to high load and high speed.

[0120] The most significant change occurs with the L2+L3=1.5L1 configuration. At this configuration, the vibration amplitude of the equipment is particularly pronounced under both low load and low speed conditions and high load and high speed conditions. Especially under high load conditions, the vibration amplitude increases sharply with the increase in speed, leading to instability in equipment operation and even potential damage to the equipment structure.

[0121] According to some embodiments of this application, in the orthographic projection of the connecting rod 30 onto the projection plane, the distance between the midpoint of the first connecting segment 131 and the midpoint of the second connecting segment 132 is L1, the distance between the midpoint of the first connecting segment 131 and the adjacent endpoint of the connecting rod 30 is L2, and the distance between the midpoint of the second connecting segment 132 and the adjacent endpoint of the connecting rod 30 is L3, and satisfies: 0 < (L2 + L3) / L1 < 0.5.

[0122] By further limiting the ratio of (L2+L3) / L1 to between 0 and 0.5, the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132 are relatively more compact, thus providing better constraint on the outer cylinder 10 and significantly reducing the swaying of the outer cylinder caused by uneven distribution of clothing. At the same time, the extension section 133 is more dispersed on both sides compared to the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132, and through effective connection with the vibration damping rod 20, it can more effectively absorb and disperse the vibration energy from the outer cylinder, further reducing noise and swaying during equipment operation.

[0123] According to some embodiments of this application, the garment processing equipment further includes a buffer structure 15, which is disposed between the tank portion 141 and the connector 1331. By providing the buffer structure 15 between the tank portion 141 and the connector 1331, the flexibility of the structure is further enhanced, and the shock absorption effect under vibration load is significantly improved. During equipment operation, the buffer structure 15 can absorb and disperse the impact force from between the tank portion 141 and the connector 1331, effectively reducing vibration transmission, ensuring a more stable and reliable connection, and improving the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0124] According to some embodiments of this application, the connector 1331 is constructed as an annular sleeve disposed at the end of the extension 133, the annular sleeve being embedded within the groove portion 141, and the buffer structure 15 being housed within the annular sleeve. By constructing the connector 1331 as an annular sleeve, not only is the structural strength of the connector 1331 enhanced, enabling it to withstand greater forces and vibrations, but it also promotes a tight fit between the annular sleeve and the groove portion 141, while simplifying the installation process of the buffer structure 15, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of installation. The support assembly also includes a connecting rod structure 16, which passes through the groove portion 141. The buffer structure 15 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting rod structure 16 and passes through the annular sleeve to connect the groove portion 141 to the annular sleeve. The buffer structure 15 can fully exert its shock absorption effect between the connecting rod structure 16 and the annular sleeve, effectively absorbing and dispersing vibration energy, thereby further improving the stability and durability of the overall structure, and facilitating the connection and disassembly process, improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance.

[0125] According to some embodiments of this application, the buffer structure 15 is provided with a through hole 151 for the connector 1331 to pass through, ensuring that the connector 1331 can pass smoothly and accurately through the buffer structure 15, achieving effective and reliable connection. Simultaneously, both ends of the buffer structure 15 are formed with limiting flanges 152 that abut against the end face of the annular sleeve. The limiting flanges 152 effectively prevent axial movement of the buffer structure 15 during use, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection, and further enhancing the contact area between the buffer structure 15 and the annular sleeve, thereby improving the overall shock absorption effect and structural durability.

[0126] According to some embodiments of this application, the groove portion 141 includes a first plate member 1411 and a second plate member 1412. The first plate member 1411 and the second plate member 1412 are respectively disposed on the vibration damping rod 20 and spaced apart from each other, so that an annular sleeve can be accommodated between the first plate member 1411 and the second plate member 1412, thereby realizing the mating connection between the annular sleeve and the groove portion 141. The first plate member 1411 and the second plate member 1412 are respectively arranged parallel to the extension direction of the vibration damping rod 20, allowing the annular sleeve to slide along the direction of the vibration damping rod 20 into the mounting groove 1413 between the first plate member 1411 and the second plate member 1412 during installation, which facilitates assembly. The first plate member 1411 and the second plate member 1412 define a mounting groove 1413 for accommodating the connector 1331. The mounting groove 1413 provides precise positioning and stable support for the connector 1331, optimizing the overall assembly efficiency and reliability. The first plate member 1411 and the second plate member 1412 each have a strip-shaped hole 1414 for receiving the connecting rod structure 16. When the connecting rod structure 16 passes through the strip-shaped hole 1414 and the annular sleeve, the connecting rod structure 16, the annular sleeve, the first plate member 1411 and the second plate member 1412 are connected together, which is convenient for assembly, has high connection strength, and enhances the reliability and durability of the connection between the connecting rod structure 16 and the groove part 141.

[0127] According to some embodiments of this application, the groove portion 141 further includes a third plate member 1415, which is connected to the same side edge of the first plate member 1411 and the second plate member 1412. The third plate member 1415 not only enhances the overall strength and stability of the groove portion 141, but also provides more flexibility for subsequent assembly and connection. By providing the third plate member 1415, when the annular sleeve slides along the direction of the damping rod 20 to the third plate member 1415 during installation, it can be supported by the third plate member 1415, thereby realizing the positioning of the annular sleeve in the mounting groove 1413. This facilitates the alignment of the mounting hole on the annular sleeve with the strip hole 1414 on the first plate member 1411 and the second plate member 1412, thereby simplifying the installation process of the connecting rod structure 16. Once the annular sleeve is accurately positioned, the connecting rod structure 16 can easily pass through the mounting hole of the annular sleeve and the strip hole 1414 on the first plate member 1411 and the second plate member 1412, forming a stable and reliable connection structure.

[0128] According to some embodiments of this application, the vibration damping rod 20 includes a sleeve 22, within which a buffer cavity is formed. The buffer cavity is used to accommodate and guide the extension and retraction movement of the support rod 21. One end of the sleeve 22 is connected to the outer cylinder 10, thereby providing support and vibration damping for the outer cylinder 10. A groove portion 141 is provided on the sleeve 22 to facilitate the connection between the sleeve 22 and the connecting rod 30, thereby enhancing the functionality of the vibration damping rod 20.

[0129] The vibration damping rod 20 also includes a support rod 21, one end of which is movably housed within a buffer cavity, allowing the support rod 21 to extend and retract within the buffer cavity when subjected to external forces, thereby effectively absorbing and dispersing vibration energy. The other end of the support rod 21 is connected to the base 11, enabling the vibration damping rod 20 to be effectively fixed to the base 11 and to withstand forces and vibrations from all directions.

[0130] According to some embodiments of this application, a protruding connecting structure 111 is formed on the base 11, and the connecting structure 111 forms a connecting groove 112 that is open away from the base 11. The other end of the support rod 21 is disposed in the connecting groove 112. The connecting groove 112 not only provides a docking position for the support rod 21, but also enhances the connection between the vibration damping rod 20 and the base 11.

[0131] According to some embodiments of this application, a fastener 113 is provided on the base 11. The fastener passes through the connecting structure 111 and fixes the other end of the support rod 21 to the base 11. Specifically, the fastener 113 can pass through the connecting groove 112 formed by the connecting structure 111 and extend into the other end of the support rod 21 to achieve a connection between the other end of the support rod 21 and the connecting structure 111, resulting in a firm connection.

[0132] According to some embodiments of this application, a first reinforcing rib 1421 protruding from the outer surface is formed on the sleeve 22, and second reinforcing ribs 1416 are respectively arranged on the surfaces of the first plate member 1411 and the second plate member 1412 facing away from each other to enhance the structural strength. The first reinforcing rib 1421 on the outer surface of the sleeve 22 can effectively enhance the deformation resistance of the sleeve 22, while the distribution of the second reinforcing ribs 1416 on the first plate member 1411 and the second plate member 1412 further stabilizes the structure of the first plate member 1411 and the second plate member 1412, so that it can maintain its shape stability when subjected to external forces.

[0133] According to some embodiments of this application, vibration damping structural members 17 are respectively sleeved on the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132. Vibration damping structural members 17 can further improve the vibration damping efficiency of the support structure, ensuring the stability of the garment processing equipment 1 during operation. By sleeved the vibration damping structural members 17 on the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132, the vibration energy transmitted from the outer cylinder 10 can be effectively absorbed and dispersed, thereby reducing the noise level during equipment operation and minimizing shaking.

[0134] In summary, the garment processing equipment 1 according to this application is provided with a connecting rod 30 to balance the vibration between the damping rods 20 and reduce vibration noise. At the same time, a buffer structure 36 is also provided at the connection point between the connecting rod 30 and the outer cylinder 10, which can absorb vibration energy, further reduce vibration noise, and improve the user experience.
