[0037] The specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0038] In the present disclosure, the directions are set for the laundry treating apparatus. Wherein, the up-down direction is the up-down direction of the laundry treating apparatus in actual use; the left-right direction is the left-right direction of the laundry treating apparatus in actual use; and the front-rear direction is the front-rear direction of the laundry treating apparatus in actual use. The center axes of the first drum and the second drum both extend along the front-rear direction. Unless otherwise stated, the orientation words such as "inner, outer" refer to the inner and outer of the outline of the component or structure itself. "First, second" and the like are used to distinguish one element from another element, and do not have sequential and important meanings.

[0039] In the related art, a double-drum washing machine includes two drums, and the two drums are arranged in a cabinet. One of the two drums can be arranged in a middle region of the cabinet, and the other of the two drums can be arranged in a region above a side of the cabinet, in order to reduce the overall height of the washing machine. However, such arrangement of the two drums can cause the washing machine to lose balance when the washing machine is running, so that the washing machine cannot run stably.

[0040] Based on the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides a laundry treating apparatus to at least solve some of the above technical problems. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet 1000, a first drum 2000, a second drum 3000, and a counterweight assembly. The first drum 2000 is arranged in the cabinet 1000, the second drum 3000 is arranged in the cabinet 1000 and located on one side of a first plane la, and the counterweight assembly is arranged in the cabinet 1000 and at least part of the counterweight assembly is located on the other side of the first plane la. The first plane la is a plane passing through the center axis of the first drum 2000 and parallel to the up-down direction of the cabinet.

[0041] In the above embodiment, at least part of the counterweight assembly is arranged on the opposite side of the side where the second drum 3000 is located on the first plane la, which can be used to balance the weight of the second drum 3000, so that the laundry treating apparatus can remain balanced when the laundry treating apparatus is running, so that the laundry treating apparatus can run stably.

[0042] It should be noted that the first plane la is a plane passing through the center axis of the first drum 2000 and parallel to the up-down direction of the cabinet, so that the counterweight assembly for the counterweight of the second drum 3000 can at least enable the laundry treating apparatus to remain balanced in the left-right direction of the cabinet.

[0043] In addition, the laundry treating apparatus can be configured as a washing machine, which will not be described here.

[0044] In some embodiments, the position of the second drum 3000 can be set arbitrarily according to actual needs. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the second drum 3000 can be located above a second plane 2a, which is a plane passing through the central axis of the first drum 2000 and parallel to the left-right direction of the cabinet 1000. The second drum 3000 is arranged above the second plane 2a, which facilitates the taking and placing of laundry. In addition, the second drum 3000 can be arranged extending in the front-rear direction of the cabinet 1000, and the second drum 3000 can be arranged extending from the front panel of the cabinet 1000 to the rear panel of the cabinet 1000, and most of the second drum 3000 can be located in front of the third symmetry plane 3b in the front-rear direction of the cabinet 1000.

[0045] In the case where the first drum 2000 is horizontally placed, the second plane 2a is a horizontal plane passing through the central axis of the first drum 2000;

[0046] In the case where the first drum 2000 is placed upwardly or downwardly inclined, the second plane 2a is a horizontal plane intersecting the central axis of the first drum 2000.

[0047] It should be noted that, in the case where the first drum 2000 is placed upwardly or downwardly inclined, the position where the second plane 2a intersects the central axis of the first drum 2000 is located between the intersection of the central axis of the first drum 2000 and the front-rear end face of the first drum 2000, and of course the position where the second plane 2a intersects the central axis of the first drum 2000 can also coincide with the intersection of the central axis of the first drum 2000 and the front-rear end face of the first drum 2000. For example, the second plane 2a is a horizontal plane passing through the opening center of the first drum 2000.

[0048] Therefore, in some embodiments, the second drum 3000 is located above the second plane 2a, i.e., the second drum 3000 is located above the opening center of the first drum 2000.

[0049] In addition, it should be noted that, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the first plane 1a can coincide with the first symmetry plane 1b in the left-right direction of the cabinet 1000. The first symmetry plane 1b in the left-right direction of the cabinet 1000 is a plane that divides the cabinet 1000 into two parts in the left-right direction. When the first plane 1a coincides with the first symmetry plane 1b in the left-right direction of the cabinet 1000, the center of gravity of the first drum 2000 can be located on the first symmetry plane 1b in the left-right direction of the cabinet 1000, so that the laundry treatment apparatus remains balanced when the first drum 2000 is running.

[0050] It should be noted that the coincidence of the first plane 1a and the first symmetry plane 1b in the left-right direction of the cabinet 1000 allows for an error.

[0051] In some possible embodiments, the first plane 1a can also not coincide with the first symmetric plane 1b in the left-right direction of the cabinet 1000, and the first roller 2000 can not affect the balance of the cabinet 1000 when in operation; or the first roller 2000 can be counterweighted so that the first roller 2000 does not affect the balance of the cabinet 1000 when in operation, which is not limited here.

[0052] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the second plane 2a can be below the second symmetric plane 2b in the up-down direction of the cabinet 1000, so that the first roller 2000 is located below the cabinet 1000 in the up-down direction, which can lower the center of gravity of the entire laundry treating apparatus and facilitate the balance of the laundry treating apparatus when in operation.

[0053] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 5, the cabinet 1000 includes a suspension beam 7100 extending in the left-right direction, and the counterweight assembly includes a counterweight block 7200, the second roller 3000 and the counterweight block 7200 are fixedly connected to the suspension beam 7100, and the counterweight block 7200 is at least partially located on the opposite side of the first plane 1a on which the second roller 3000 is located, so that the center of gravity of the counterweight block 7200 is located on the opposite side of the first plane 1a on which the second roller 3000 is located.

[0054] In the above embodiments, the suspension beam 7100 can be arranged in the cabinet 1000, and both ends of the suspension beam 7100 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the cabinet 1000.

[0055] As shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 5, the second roller 3000 is located on the right side of the first plane 1a in the left-right direction of the cabinet 1000, and the second roller 3000 is located above the second plane 2a in the up-down direction of the cabinet 1000. The second roller 3000 is fixedly connected to the suspension beam 7100. The counterweight block 7200 is located on the left side of the first plane 1a in the left-right direction of the cabinet 1000, and the counterweight block 7200 is located above the second plane 2a in the up-down direction of the cabinet 1000. The counterweight block 7200 is also fixedly connected to the suspension beam 7100, and the counterweight block 7200 can be used to balance the second roller 3000 at least in the left-right direction of the cabinet, so that the laundry treating apparatus can be balanced when in operation.

[0056] In addition, in an unillustrated arrangement, the second roller 3000 can also be located on the left side of the first plane la in the left-right direction of the cabinet 1000, and the second roller 3000 is located above the second plane 2a in the up-down direction of the cabinet 1000, and the second roller 3000 is fixedly connected to the suspension beam 7100. The counterweight 7200 is located on the right side of the first plane la in the left-right direction of the cabinet 1000, and the counterweight 7200 is located above the second plane 2a in the up-down direction of the cabinet 1000, and the counterweight 7200 is also fixedly connected to the suspension beam 7100. Through this arrangement, the counterweight 7200 can also be used to balance the second roller 3000 at least in the left-right direction of the cabinet, so that the laundry treatment apparatus can run in balance.

[0057] In some embodiments, the counterweight 7200 can also be configured to dampen the second roller 3000. Specifically, the counterweight 7200 and the second roller 3000 are both arranged on the suspension beam 7100, and the vibration generated by the operation of the second roller 3000 drives the suspension beam 7100 to vibrate with the second roller 3000, and the counterweight 7200 arranged on the suspension beam 7100 can slow down the vibration of the suspension beam 7100, thereby achieving the damping of the second roller 3000, and making the second roller 3000 run more stably.

[0058] In some embodiments, the laundry treatment apparatus further comprises a water inlet valve 4200, an electric control box 6100, a water inlet box 4300, a drainage and exhaust box 4400, a drying device 5000 for the first roller 2000, and a washing box 4100 for storing washing liquid.

[0059] The counterweight assembly further comprises at least one of the water inlet valve 4200, the electric control box 6100, the water inlet box 4300, the drainage and exhaust box 4400, the drying device 5000 for the first roller 2000, and the washing box 4100 for storing washing liquid, which can be used to balance the second roller 3000, so that the laundry treatment apparatus can run stably.

[0060] In the above embodiments, water outside the laundry treatment apparatus enters the water inlet valve 4200 through a pipeline, and the water inlet valve 4200 communicates with devices in the laundry treatment apparatus that need water through a water inlet pipeline to provide water to each water-using device. For example, the water inlet valve 4200 can communicate with the first roller 2000 and the second roller 3000 of the laundry treatment apparatus through a water inlet pipeline, respectively, to pass the water outside the laundry treatment apparatus into the first roller 2000 and the second roller 3000, respectively.

[0061] The electric control box 6100 can control each electrical device in the laundry treatment apparatus.

[0062] The water inlet box 4300 is connected to the water inlet valve 4200 through a water inlet end by a pipeline, and a water outlet end of the water inlet box 4300 is connected to the washing box 4100 of the laundry treating apparatus by a pipeline, and the water inlet valve 4200 passes water into the washing box 4100 through the water inlet box 4300. Another water inlet end of the water inlet box 4300 is connected to the washing box 4100, and the other two water outlet ends of the water inlet box 4300 are connected to the first drum 2000 and the second drum 3000, respectively, and the water mixed with the washing liquid in the washing box 4100 can pass through the water inlet box 4300 and then be introduced into the first drum 2000 and the second drum 3000, respectively.

[0063] The water and air discharge box 4400 can be used for water discharge of the first drum 2000 and the second drum 3000 and air discharge of the second drum 3000.

[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, the counterweight assembly includes the washing box 4100, which is located on the opposite side of the first plane 1a on which the second drum 3000 is located, and can be used to balance the second drum 3000 so that the laundry treating apparatus remains balanced when it is running.
