[0058] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, and the detailed descriptions in the specific implementation should be understood as explanations of this application and should not be regarded as undue limitations on this application.
[0059] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the terms "inner" and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application.
[0060] This application provides a base device 10.
[0061] It should be noted that the application scenarios of the base device 10 are not limited. In this embodiment, the base device 10 is described as being applied to a clothing processing device.
[0062] This application also provides a garment processing device.
[0063] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The garment processing device includes a first tubular assembly 20 and a base device 10 in any embodiment of this application.
[0064] It is understood that the specific form of the garment processing equipment is not limited; for example, the garment processing equipment can at least be used to dry garments.
[0065] Please refer to Figures 3 to 10. The base device 10 includes a base 11, an adapter 12, and a compressor 13.
[0066] The base 11 has an air duct for communicating with the garment processing chamber of the garment processing equipment.
[0067] Specifically, the air duct is used to allow airflow, which can circulate between the air duct and the clothes processing chamber to dry the clothes.
[0068] For example, please refer to FIG1, the first tube assembly 20 has a first clothing processing cavity 21.
[0069] The air duct is connected to the first garment processing chamber 21. That is to say, the airflow can circulate between the air duct and the first garment processing chamber 21.
[0070] The following is a brief description of the drying process and principle of the clothing processing equipment in the embodiments of this application.
[0071] When the garment drying equipment dries clothes, hot, dry air enters the first garment processing chamber 21 through the air duct and flows over the surface of the wet clothes. It exchanges heat and moisture with the wet clothes, absorbing the moisture and becoming a humid, hot airflow. This humid, hot airflow leaves the first garment processing chamber 21 and enters the air duct again. After condensation and dehumidification, it forms a low-temperature dry airflow, which is then heated to become a dry, hot airflow again. This dry, hot airflow then re-enters the first garment processing chamber 21. This cycle continues to achieve continuous and efficient drying of the clothes.
[0072] It should be noted that the low-temperature dry airflow is relative to the humid and hot airflow, and the temperature of the low-temperature dry airflow is lower than that of the humid and hot airflow. In the embodiments of this application, the low temperature can be room temperature.
[0073] For example, the base device 10 also includes a heat exchange component for exchanging heat with the airflow.
[0074] For example, the heat exchange assembly includes an evaporator and a condenser, which are disposed in a duct. The evaporator is disposed upstream of the condenser along the airflow direction. The evaporator condenses and dehumidifies the airflow, and the condenser heats the airflow.
[0075] The compressor 13 is used to compress the refrigerant. The compressor 13 has an intake port and an exhaust port. The compressor 13 draws in refrigerant with a lower temperature and lower pressure from the intake port, and the piston is driven by the motor to compress the refrigerant. The refrigerant with increased temperature and pressure is output from the exhaust port.
[0076] It is understandable that refrigerant, also known as coolant or refrigerant, is a medium used to complete the heat exchange cycle.
[0077] For example, the compressor 13, evaporator and condenser are connected through a refrigerant circulation pipeline. The suction port of the compressor 13 is connected to the outlet of the evaporator, and the discharge port of the compressor 13 is connected to the inlet of the condenser, thus forming a refrigerant circulation loop. After the compressor 13 compresses the refrigerant, the refrigerant enters the condenser, where it cools down. The evaporator heats up the refrigerant, and the heated refrigerant re-enters the compressor 13, thus completing the cycle.
[0078] The drying process and principle of the garment processing equipment are as follows: Compressor 13 draws in low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, compresses it, and discharges it as high-pressure gas. The discharged high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, where it is cooled by the airflow around the condenser and condenses into a high-pressure liquid (while transferring heat to the surrounding air). In other words, the airflow around the condenser is heated to form a dry, hot airflow that enters the first garment processing chamber 21. After the high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through the throttling device and is depressurized, it becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase mixture. This mixture enters the evaporator, where the liquid refrigerant evaporates and cools (while absorbing heat from the surrounding air). In other words, the airflow around the evaporator is cooled to form a low-temperature, dry airflow. The low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is drawn in by compressor 13 again and pressurized. This cycle repeats continuously, achieving heat exchange and continuous, efficient drying of the garments.
[0079] The adapter 12 is used to connect the compressor 13 and the base 11, that is, the compressor 13 is not directly connected to the base 11. This helps to reduce the probability that the vibration of the compressor 13 is directly transmitted to the base 11 and affects the working stability of the base device 10.
[0080] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5. The base 11 includes a bottom wall 111, the adapter 12 includes a plurality of first support portions 1211, the first support portion 1211 has a first support surface 1211d on the side facing the bottom wall 111, and the compressor 13 is disposed on the top side of the adapter 12.
[0081] At least two first support parts 1211 have non-coplanar first support surfaces 1211d.
[0082] The first support surfaces 1211d of at least two first support parts 1211 are not coplanar, which means that the first support surfaces 1211d of at least two first support parts 1211 are arranged on opposite sides, that is, they are not located on the same plane, and there is a height difference between at least two first support parts 1211 along the height direction of the base device 10.
[0083] It is understandable that at least two first support parts 1211's first support surfaces 1211d are not coplanar. This could mean that the first support surfaces 1211d of each first support part 1211 are not coplanar, or that some of the first support surfaces 1211d are not coplanar, while others of the first support surfaces 1211d of the first support parts 1211 are coplanar.
[0084] It should be noted that the number of first support parts 1211 can be two, three or more.
[0085] For example, referring to Figures 6 and 7, the number of first support portions 1211 can be three. The first support surfaces 1211d of the three first support portions 1211 are not coplanar.
[0086] It should be noted that when at least two first support surfaces 1211d are not coplanar, the portion of the bottom wall 111 corresponding to these surfaces is also not coplanar. This facilitates the mating of the adapter 12 and the base 11. The first support surface 1211d contacts the bottom wall 111, and during the installation of the compressor 13, the bottom wall 111 provides support for the first support surface 1211d, thereby providing installation support for the compressor 13.
[0087] It is understandable that the adapter 12 and the compressor 13 can be connected through parts other than the first support surface 1211d. In this way, the adapter 12 is connected to the compressor 13 through other parts, and the compressor 13 is supported by the first support surface 1211d, which helps to increase the structural strength of the adapter 12 and the installation stability of the compressor 13.
[0088] The base device 10 provided in this application embodiment connects the compressor 13 to the base 11 via an adapter 12. The adapter 12 and the base 11 jointly support the compressor 13, increasing the installation stability of the compressor 13. Furthermore, the height difference formed by at least two non-coplanar first support surfaces 1211d not only facilitates the increase of the structural strength of the adapter 13, but also reduces the installation requirements of the base 11, reduces the structural limitations of the area where the base 11 is installed corresponding to the compressor 13, reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the base 11, and increases the design flexibility of the base 11, so that the base device 10 can better adapt to the installation needs of clothing processing equipment of different models or sizes.
[0089] Specifically, in the application scenario where a garment processing device's cylinder assembly is located below the base device 10, the structure of the base 11 can be roughly arc-shaped or inclined slope to avoid the cylinder assembly. The non-coplanar first support surface 1211d of the adapter 12 can correspond to the non-coplanar structure on the base 11. By adapting the adapter 12 to the height difference on the base 11 and to the installation requirements of the compressor 13, the compressor 13 can be stably installed, which can also increase the adaptability of the base 11 and reduce the restriction on the installation area of the compressor 13 on the base 11.
[0090] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5, 9 and 10. The adapter 12 includes at least one second support portion 1212, which is connected to a first support portion 1211. The first support portion 1211 is connected to the bottom wall 111. The second support portion 1212 has a second support surface 1212a, and the compressor 13 is connected to the second support surface 1212a.
[0091] Specifically, the first support portion 1211 is connected to the bottom wall 111, thereby realizing the connection between the adapter 12 and the bottom wall 111. The bottom wall 111 can provide support for the first support portion 1211, and thus provide support for the adapter 12.
[0092] For example, please refer to Figures 5, 9 and 10. The base 11 is provided with multiple mounting structures 1113. The first support 1211 connects the adapter 12 to the bottom wall 111 through the connection with the mounting structure 1113.
[0093] The side surface of the mounting structure 1113 facing the first support portion 1211 can correspond to the first support surface 1211d, that is, they are not coplanar. In this way, the compatibility between the first support portion 1211 and the mounting structure 1113 can be increased.
[0094] Specifically, the weight of the compressor 13 is transferred to the second support part 1212 through the second support surface 1212a, and then to the first support part 1211. The first support part 1211 transfers the weight to the base 11, so that the base 11 distributes the pressure of the adapter 12 without directly contacting the compressor 13, and supports the compressor 13, thereby increasing the docking stability of the compressor 13, the adapter 12, and the bottom wall 111, and increasing the overall structural stability of the base device 10.
[0095] The first support portion 1211 has a first surface 1211c on the side opposite to the first support surface 1211d, wherein, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the position of any one of the first surfaces 1211c is higher than the second support surface 1212a.
[0096] It is understood that the first surface 1211c and the second support surface 1212a are surfaces located on the same side of the adapter 12. For example, the first surface 1211c and the second support surface 1212a are surfaces located on the top side of the adapter 12.
[0097] The position of any first surface 1211c being higher than the second support surface 1212a means that, along the height direction of the base device 10, the position of the second support surface 1212a is lower than any first surface 1211c, that is, the connection position between the compressor 13 and the second support surface 1212a is lower than the first surface 1211c.
[0098] In this embodiment, the first surface 1211c is positioned higher and the second support surface 1212a is positioned lower. This allows the second support surface 1212a to directly transfer the load of the compressor 13 to the first surface 1211c, the first support surface 1211d, and then to the bottom wall 111. This reduces the probability of deformation of the adapter 12, increases the structural strength of the adapter 12, and improves the reliability of the compressor 13. Furthermore, the lower installation position of the compressor 13 and the higher support position can lower the overall center of gravity of the base device 10 and improve structural stability. At the same time, it also allows for a more compact layout of the base device 10.
[0099] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the garment handling equipment includes a housing, a second cylinder assembly 30, and a frame 40 disposed within the housing.
[0100] The frame 40 is the main support structure, used for the fixed installation and support of other components of the garment processing equipment.
[0101] The base device 10 is disposed on the frame 40, and the base device 10 and its load transmit the force to the frame 40.
[0102] For example, in some embodiments, the frame 40 includes at least four columns, each extending along the height direction. In a horizontal projection, the four columns are located at the four vertices of the quadrilateral.
[0103] In this embodiment of the application, the height direction is the direction shown in Figure 1, which includes both the direction from top to bottom and the direction from bottom to top.
[0104] For example, the base device 10 can be connected to each of the four columns described above. The base device 10 is located within the area defined by the four columns.
[0105] The base device 10 divides the space inside the box into at least a first space and a second space along the height direction. The first cylindrical assembly 20 is disposed in the first space, and the second cylindrical assembly 30 is disposed in the second space.
[0106] In some embodiments, the first garment processing chamber 21 is at least capable of drying garments. The second drum assembly 30 has a second garment processing chamber 31, which is at least capable of washing garments.
[0107] In some embodiments, the first space is located above the second space, that is, the position of the first cylindrical assembly 20 is higher than the position of the second cylindrical assembly 30.
[0108] In other embodiments, the first space may also be located below the second space, that is, the position of the second cylindrical assembly 30 is higher than the position of the first cylindrical assembly 20.
[0109] The number of second support parts 1212 can be one or more.
[0110] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 6 and 7, there are multiple second support portions 1212, and each second support surface 1212a is coplanar.
[0111] It should be noted that the coplanar arrangement of each second support surface 1212a means that each second support surface 1212a is located on the same plane.
[0112] In other words, the connection points between the compressor 13 and the second support surface 1212a are all coplanar. This ensures that the connection points between the compressor 13 and the second support 1212a are on the same plane, increasing the installation stability of the compressor 13. Furthermore, when adjustments to the installation positions of the compressor 13 and the adapter 12 are needed, they can be made within the same plane, eliminating the need for complex three-dimensional spatial adjustments. Moreover, the design of multiple second support parts 1212 facilitates the distribution of the compressor 13's weight across multiple second support parts 1212, increasing load-bearing reliability.
[0113] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG6, any part of the second support portion 1212 is spaced apart from the bottom wall 111 so that the second support portion 1212 is in a suspended state.
[0114] It should be noted that the fact that any part of the second support 1212 is spaced apart from the bottom wall 111 means that no part of the second support 1212 is in contact with the bottom wall 111, so that the second support 1212 is in a suspended state.
[0115] It is understandable that when the compressor 13 vibrates, the second support part 1212 will have a certain amplitude. However, the second support part 1212, which is suspended, does not contact the bottom wall 111. Therefore, the second support part 1212 will hardly hit the bottom wall 111, thus increasing the operational stability of the base device 10.
[0116] In this embodiment, the suspended second support 1212 can effectively isolate the connection position between the compressor 13 and the second support 1212 from the bottom wall 111, thereby reducing the vibration transmitted from the compressor 13 to the bottom wall 111, reducing noise transmission, and increasing the operational stability of the base device 10.
[0117] The specific structure of compressor 13 is not limited.
[0118] In some embodiments, referring to FIG3, the compressor 13 includes a compressor body 131 and a connecting ear 132 protruding circumferentially outward from the compressor body 131. The connecting ear 132 connects the compressor body 131 and the second support portion 1212.
[0119] Specifically, the compressor body 131 is used to realize the compression function of the compressor 13 and compress the refrigerant, and the connecting ear 132 is used to realize the connection function and connect the compressor 13 and the adapter 12 together.
[0120] In this embodiment, the compressor 13 and the adapter 12 are connected by connecting ear 132 and second support part 1212. The connection is simple and easy to disassemble. Furthermore, the vibration and load generated by the compressor body 131 during operation can be transmitted to the second support part 1212 through connecting ear 132, which makes it easier for the adapter 12 to bear the compressor 13 and absorb some vibration, thereby increasing the operational stability of the base device 10.
[0121] In some embodiments, there are multiple connecting ears 132, which support the compressor body 131. The bottom end of the compressor body 131 is spaced apart from the adapter 12 so that the compressor body 131 is suspended.
[0122] It is understandable that the bottom end of the compressor body 131 is spaced apart from the adapter 12, meaning that the bottom end of the compressor body 131 does not contact the adapter 12, and the compressor body 131 is supported by the connecting lug 132.
[0123] In this embodiment, the multiple connecting ears 132 can facilitate the even distribution of the weight of the compressor body 131 and the vibration generated during operation, thereby extending the service life of the compressor 13. The suspended state of the compressor body 131 and the space between the bottom end of the compressor body 131 and the adapter 12 can facilitate airflow to dissipate heat from the compressor 13. At the same time, the space between the bottom end of the compressor body 131 and the adapter 12 can also catch the condensate generated on the surface of the compressor 13 during operation, increasing the operational reliability of the compressor 13.
[0124] Furthermore, the suspended compressor body 131 can reduce the contact area between the compressor 13 and the adapter 12, thereby reducing the transmission path of vibration and noise. The weight and vibration of the compressor 13 during operation are transmitted through the connecting ear 132, increasing the overall operational stability of the base device 10.
[0125] Of course, in some other embodiments, the compressor body 131 may not be suspended, that is, the bottom end of the compressor body 131 is in contact with the adapter 12.
[0126] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3, 5 and 7, each first support portion 1211 is connected to at least one second support portion 1212 to form an annular structure 121, the annular structure 121 surrounds the outer periphery of the compressor body 131, and the connecting ear 132 is connected to the second support portion 1212.
[0127] In this embodiment, the annular structure 121 can surround the outer periphery of the compressor body 131 to form a continuous support structure. The weight of the compressor body 131 can be transferred to the first support part 1211 through the second support part 1212, and then to the bottom wall 111, to effectively support the compressor 13, reduce the excessive load on a single support point, and increase load-bearing stability. Furthermore, the annular structure 121 has high structural strength and can also adapt to the shape of the compressor 13, increasing the compactness of the layout and facilitating docking with the compressor 13 in a smaller space.
[0128] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3, 5 and 7. There are multiple second support portions 1212. Each first support portion 1211 and each second support portion 1212 are arranged alternately along the circumference of the annular structure 121. There are multiple connecting ears 132. At least one first support portion 1211 is provided between two adjacent connecting ears 132.
[0129] It should be noted that the alternating arrangement of each first support portion 1211 and each second support portion 1212 along the circumference of the annular structure 121 means that, along the circumference of the annular structure 121, a second support portion 1212 is arranged on the adjacent sides of any first support portion 1211, and a first support portion 1211 is arranged on the adjacent sides of any two second support portions 1212.
[0130] For example, please refer to Figure 7, the number of first support parts 1211 is three, and the number of second support parts 1212 is three.
[0131] In this embodiment, the alternating arrangement of the first support portion 1211 and the second support portion 1212 can more evenly distribute the weight of the compressor 13, balance the pressure on the first support portion 1211 and the second support portion 1212, and improve the overall load-bearing stability. Furthermore, the first support portion 1211 is provided between two adjacent connecting ears 132. The first support portion 1211 is not connected to the connecting ears 132. The first support portion 1211 can act as a buffer, absorbing and dispersing the vibration generated by the operation of the compressor 13, thus reducing noise.
[0132] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 and 7, the adapter 12 includes an extension structure, which includes a plate portion 122 and a side portion 124. The side portion 124 is disposed around the edge of the plate portion 122, and the top end of the side portion 124 is positioned above the top surface of the plate portion 122. The top end of the side portion 124 is connected to the radial inner edge of the annular structure 121.
[0133] In this embodiment, the side panel 124 and the plate 122 can increase the structural strength of the adapter 12. The top of the side panel 124 is higher than the top surface of the plate 122. The height difference between the side panel 124 and the plate 122 can also play a guiding role. The condensate transferred to the surface of the compressor 13 due to its own operation or the operation of other components of the clothing processing equipment can be guided to the plate 122 through the side panel 124, so as to avoid the condensate from contacting the connection position between the adapter 12 and the compressor 13 or the connection position between the adapter 12 and the bottom wall 111.
[0134] In the embodiment where the compressor body 131 is suspended, the compressor body 131 and the plate portion 122 are spaced apart along the height direction of the base device 10, that is, the compressor body 131 does not contact the plate portion 122. At this time, the overall weight of the compressor 13 is transmitted to the second support portion 1212 through the connecting lug 132, and then to the first support portion 1211 and the plate portion 122. The plate portion 122 can increase the structural strength of the adapter 12. The plate portion 122 is spaced apart from the compressor body 131, which on the one hand facilitates heat dissipation of the compressor 13 and reduces the contact area between the compressor 13 and the adapter 12, thereby reducing vibration transmission; on the other hand, the condensate generated on the surface of the compressor 13 is guided to the plate portion 122 through the side enclosure portion 124. The plate portion 122 can receive the condensate or guide the condensate to other structures for collecting condensate.
[0135] In embodiments where the compressor body 131 is not suspended, the bottom end of the compressor body 131 can be supported on the plate 122, which can provide stable support for the compressor body 131 and reduce the pressure on the second support 1212.
[0136] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG5, the bottom wall 111 has a liquid collection tank 1113c, and the adapter 12 is provided with a through hole 122a communicating with the liquid collection tank 1113c. The adapter 12 can collect the condensate of the compressor 13 and guide the collected condensate to the liquid collection tank 1113c through the through hole 122a.
[0137] It is understandable that during the operation of compressor 13 or other components of the clothing processing equipment, condensate may be generated on the surface of the compressor. The condensate generated by other components of the clothing processing equipment during operation can be transferred to the compressor by airflow and adhere to the surface of the compressor.
[0138] The compressor 13 is located on the top side of the adapter 12. The condensate adhering to its surface can be received by the adapter 12 and communicated with the liquid collection tank 1113c on the bottom wall 111 through the through hole 122a. The condensate is collected in the liquid collection tank 1113c, reducing the probability of condensate accumulating in the base 11 or dripping onto other parts of the clothing processing equipment and causing safety hazards.
[0139] In this embodiment, the through hole 122a and the liquid collection tank 1113c can effectively collect the condensate generated during the operation of the compressor 13, reduce the impact on the operation of the compressor 13 and the operation of other components in the clothing processing equipment, and increase the overall performance of the base device 10.
[0140] It should be noted that the amount of condensate produced on the outer surface of the compressor 13 is relatively small, and the condensate accumulated in the collection tank 1113c can be eliminated by natural evaporation. Therefore, the collection tank 1113c does not need to be equipped with a condensate drain outlet. Of course, in other embodiments, the collection tank 1113c may also be equipped with a condensate drain outlet to discharge the condensate.
[0141] It is understood that the formation of the liquid collection tank 1113c is not limited. For example, it can be a space enclosed by multiple structures on the bottom wall 111, such as a space enclosed by a rib-like structure on the bottom wall 111, which is connected to the through hole 122a; or the bottom wall 111 can be hollowed out to form a tank-like structure and connected to the through hole 122a. There is no limitation here.
[0142] For example, in an embodiment where the adapter 12 is provided with an extension structure, the liquid collection tank 1113c can be provided on the bottom side of the plate portion 122, so that the condensate can flow from top to bottom to the liquid collection tank 1113c through the through hole 122a.
[0143] In some embodiments, the base device 10 includes one or more first connectors that connect the connecting ear 132 to the second support portion 1212.
[0144] In this embodiment, the connection between the connecting ear 132 and the second support part 1212 is achieved through the first connector, thereby realizing the connection between the compressor 13 and the adapter 12, which facilitates increasing the connection stability between the compressor 13 and the adapter 12.
[0145] For example, please refer to Figures 3 to 7. The second support portion 1212 is provided with a first connecting hole 1212b. The first connector passes through the connecting ear 132 and the first connecting hole 1212b to realize the connection between the connecting ear 132 and the second support portion 1212.
[0146] The specific structure of the first connector is not limited. For example, the first connector may be a screw, or a combination of a bolt and a nut.
[0147] In some embodiments, the base device 10 includes a vibration damper sandwiched between the connecting lug 132 and the second support portion 1212, and a first connector passing through the second support portion 1212, the vibration damper, and the connecting lug 132 along the height direction of the base device 10.
[0148] It should be noted that vibration damping components refer to components whose material itself has a vibration damping effect, such as those made of rubber, silicone, or felt.
[0149] Specifically, the vibration damper separates the connecting ear 132 and the second support portion 1212. The vibration damper is located on the force transmission path of the connecting ear 132 and the second support portion 1212. Specifically, at least part of the weight of the compressor body 131 is transmitted to the vibration damper through the connecting ear 132. The vibration damper transmits the weight and vibration it receives to the second support portion 1212. Part of the vibration generated by the compressor body 131 is absorbed by the vibration damper, which can reduce the vibration and noise transmitted to the second support portion 1212.
[0150] In this embodiment, the vibration damper can absorb and disperse the vibration energy generated during the operation of the compressor 13, reduce the noise generated during the operation of the compressor 13, and also reduce the mechanical stress at the connection between the connecting ear 132 and the second support 1212, thereby increasing the reliability of the connection.
[0151] In the embodiment where the compressor body 131 is suspended, the cooperation between the vibration damping component and the first connecting component not only increases the reliability of vibration damping, but also increases the overall installation stability of the compressor 13, reducing the displacement or shaking of the compressor 13 caused by vibration.
[0152] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 6, 9 and 10. In embodiments where the second support 1212 is suspended, the bottom wall 111 is provided with a clearance hole 1113b. In the orthographic projection of a plane perpendicular to the height direction of the base device 10, the first connector is located within the projection range of the clearance hole 1113b.
[0153] It is understandable that the first connector is located within the projection range of the clearance hole 1113b. This can be because the first connector does not pass through the clearance hole 1113b, but the projection range of the first connector is within the clearance hole 1113b; or the first connector passes through the clearance hole 1113b, and the projection range of the first connector is within the clearance hole 1113b. However, in both cases, the first connector does not contact the hole wall of the clearance hole 1113b, that is, it does not contact the bottom wall 111.
[0154] In this embodiment, the design of the clearance hole 1113b can, on the one hand, reduce the probability of interference between the first connector and the bottom wall 111 when the first connector connects the connecting ear 132 and the second support part 1212; on the other hand, it can also prevent the first connector from contacting the bottom wall 111, reduce the probability of the vibration of the compressor 13 being transmitted to the bottom wall 111 through the first connector, and increase the overall stability of the base device 10.
[0155] The manner in which the first connector connects to the connecting ear 132 and the second support 1212 is not limited.
[0156] For example, the first connector can pass through the connecting ear 132 and the first connecting hole 1212b from top to bottom to connect the connecting ear 132 and the second support part 1212. At this time, the bottom end of the first connector can pass through the clearance hole 1113b or be located between the clearance hole 1113b and the first connecting hole 1212b.
[0157] In other embodiments, the first connector can pass through the clearance hole 1113b, the first connection hole 1212b, and the connection ear 132 from bottom to top to connect the connection ear 132 to the second support portion 1212. In this case, the clearance hole 1113b provides space for the first connector to pass through, and prevents the first connector from contacting the bottom wall 111.
[0158] In some embodiments, the base device 10 includes one or more second connectors that connect the first support 1211 to the mounting structure 1113 on the bottom wall 111.
[0159] For example, the first support portion 1211 is provided with one or more second connecting holes 1211b, and the second connector passes through the second connecting hole 1211b and the mounting structure 1113 to connect the first support portion 1211 and the mounting structure 1113, thereby realizing the connection between the adapter 12 and the bottom wall 111.
[0160] In this embodiment, the second connector connects the first support 1211 to the mounting structure 1113 on the bottom wall 111, which can increase the connection stability between the adapter 12 and the bottom wall 111, thereby facilitating the stable installation of the compressor 13 and increasing the overall structural stability of the base device 10.
[0161] The specific structure of the second connector is not limited; for example, the second connector may be a screw.
[0162] It is understandable that during the installation of the compressor 13, adapter 12, and base wall 111, the adapter 12 and compressor 13 can be assembled into a pre-assembled unit using the first connector, and then the pre-assembled unit can be placed on the base wall 111. The base wall 111 and adapter 12 can be connected using the second connector, thus achieving the assembly of the three components. Alternatively, the adapter 12 can be placed on the base wall 111 first, and the base wall 111 and adapter 12 can be connected using the second connector. Then, the compressor 13 can be placed on the top side of the adapter 12, and the connecting ear 132 can be connected to the second support 1212 using the first connector, thus connecting the compressor 13 and adapter 12, thereby achieving the assembly of the three components.
[0163] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3, 5 and 6. The mounting structure 1113 is provided with a positioning protrusion 1114, and the first support portion 1211 is provided with a positioning hole 1211a. The positioning protrusion 1114 passes through the positioning hole 1211a.
[0164] In this embodiment, the engagement of the positioning protrusion 1114 with the positioning hole 1211a facilitates precise positioning between the first support portion 1211 and the bottom wall 111, reducing installation deviations. Furthermore, the positioning protrusion 1114, passing through the positioning hole 1211a, also restricts the movement of the first support portion 1211, increasing connection stability. Simultaneously, manual alignment of the first support portion 1211 and the bottom wall 111 is unnecessary, resulting in quick and accurate assembly.
[0165] In some embodiments, a portion of the bottom wall 111 protrudes upward to form a clearance space 111a on the underside of the bottom wall 111 for avoiding the tubular assembly of the garment handling equipment.
[0166] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1. The clearance space 111a is used to avoid part of the structure of the second cylinder assembly 30, so as to make the structure of the garment processing equipment compact and reduce the overall height of the garment processing equipment.
[0167] The air duct includes a mounting area for the two heat exchangers. Here, the two heat exchangers refer to the evaporator and the condenser, which are installed in the mounting area.
[0168] The base 11 also includes a power mechanism mounting area located outside the air duct. The compressor 13 is located in the power mechanism mounting area, which is located on one side of the two-unit mounting area along the first direction, wherein the first direction intersects with the height direction of the base device 10.
[0169] It is understandable that the first direction can be any direction, for example, the first direction can be left and right or front and back, without any restrictions.
[0170] In other words, the compressor 13 is located outside the air duct. This facilitates air circulation around the compressor 13, enhances heat dissipation, and reduces the impact of the heat generated by the compressor 13 on the evaporator and condenser inside the air duct. At the same time, it also facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the compressor 13 without affecting the structure inside the air duct.
[0171] The bottom wall of the power unit mounting area is lower than the bottom wall of the two-unit mounting area. This creates a stepped structure, which makes it easier to install the compressor 13 at a lower position, lowers the overall center of gravity of the base device 10, and facilitates the installation and maintenance of the compressor 13, making the layout of the base device 10 more compact.
[0172] Please refer to Figure 8. For ease of description, the first bottom wall 1111 is the bottom wall of the two-device mounting area, and the second bottom wall 1112 is the bottom wall of the power mechanism mounting area. The position of the first bottom wall 1111 is higher than the position of the second bottom wall 1112.
[0173] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the mounting area of the two devices is a horizontal plate-like structure; the two devices are supported on the horizontal plate-like structure.
[0174] It is understandable that a horizontal plate-like structure means that the plane containing the bottom wall of the two device installation area is parallel to the horizontal plane.
[0175] In this embodiment, the two devices are arranged on a horizontal plate structure. The evaporator and condenser can be stably arranged in the installation area of the two devices. The installation area of the two devices can evenly bear the weight of the evaporator and condenser. Furthermore, when it is necessary to adjust the installation position of the evaporator and condenser, it can be done in the same plane without the need for complex three-dimensional spatial adjustments. At the same time, the design of the horizontal plate structure can also reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the base 11 and increase the structural reliability of the base device 10.
[0176] In some embodiments, the horizontal plate-like structure is located at the highest point of the clearance space.
[0177] Specifically, the horizontal plate-like structure can serve as the top boundary of the clearance space, providing protection for the cylinder assembly or other components of the garment handling equipment below, reducing damage;
[0178] For example, referring to Figure 1, a horizontal plate-like structure can be used as a platform to separate the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the second cylindrical assembly 30. The horizontal plate-like structure provides support while also increasing the layout reliability of the first cylindrical assembly 20 and the second cylindrical assembly 30.
[0179] In this embodiment, the compressor 13 is installed at a low position, and the overall center of gravity of the base device 10 is low, which makes the overall structure of the clothing processing equipment more compact without increasing the overall height of the clothing processing equipment.
[0180] This application also provides an adapter 12.
[0181] Please refer to Figure 7. The adapter 12 includes a plate portion 122 and a continuous annular structure 121.
[0182] Among them, the ring structure 121 refers to a structure that is connected end to end, and does not specifically refer to a circular ring. For example, the inner edge contour of the ring structure 121 can be a circle, an ellipse, a quasi-ellipse, a polygon, etc.
[0183] The continuous ring structure 121 refers to the fact that the ring structure 121 is a continuous structure in the circumferential direction.
[0184] Please refer to Figure 7. The annular structure 121 includes at least one first support portion 1211 and at least one second support portion 1212, which are arranged circumferentially along the annular structure 121.
[0185] In some embodiments, the first support portion 1211 and the second support portion 1212 are used to connect different objects. For example, the first support portion 1211 is used to connect a first object, and the second support portion 1212 is used to connect a second object, thus the two objects are indirectly connected through the adapter 12. In other embodiments, the first support portion 1211 and the second support portion 1212 can be used to connect different parts of the same object.
[0186] Referring to Figure 7, the plate portion 122 protrudes from the inner edge of the annular structure 121 toward a first side in the thickness direction of the annular structure 121, thereby forming a recessed area on a second side of the adapter 12 along the thickness direction. That is, there is a height difference between the plate portion 122 and the annular structure 121 in the thickness direction of the annular structure 121.
[0187] In this embodiment of the application, for ease of description, please refer to FIG7. The description takes the first side of the thickness direction of the annular structure 121 as the bottom side and the second side as the top side as an example. The height direction is parallel to the thickness direction of the annular structure 121.
[0188] In some applications, the recessed area can be used to collect liquid dripping from above the adapter 12.
[0189] In this embodiment of the application, the adapter 12 has a height difference between the plate portion 122 and the ring structure 121, which helps to enhance the structural strength and rigidity of the adapter 12. In addition, the ring structure 121 is a continuous structure without interruption along the circumference. Therefore, the ring structure 121 itself has good structural strength and rigidity, which helps to ensure the reliability of the external connection between the first support portion 1211 and the second support portion 1212.
[0190] Please refer to Figure 11, which shows the structure of the adapter 4 as a comparative example. The adapter 4 includes a base plate 41 and multiple first bending edges 42. The base plate 41 is used to support and connect the first object. The first bending edges 42 first bend upward from the edge of the base plate 41, and then bend horizontally outward. A connecting hole is provided at the horizontally outward bending part for connecting with the second object. Adjacent first bending edges 42 must be disconnected to meet the bending requirements. However, disconnection reduces the structural strength of the adapter and the reliability of the connection.
[0191] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7, the annular structure 121 has an undulating structure along the circumference. That is, in the circumferential direction, some parts of the annular structure 121 protrude towards the first side, and some parts protrude towards the second side. In short, the annular structure 121 is not a completely flat plate structure. In this way, the structural strength and stiffness of the annular structure 121 can be further improved, and the load-bearing capacity of the first support 1211 and the second support 1212 can be enhanced.
[0192] In some embodiments, referring to FIG7, a portion of the annular structure 121 protrudes towards a first side in the thickness direction to form a second support portion 1212. The remaining portion of the annular structure 121 constitutes one or more first support portions 1211. It should be noted that the protrusion of a portion of the annular structure 121 towards a first side in the thickness direction to form a second support portion 1212 means that the second support portion 1212 is closer to the first side of the annular structure 121 than the first support portion 1211, and there is a height difference between the first support portion 1211 and the second support portion 1212. On the one hand, this is beneficial for improving the structural strength and rigidity of the annular structure 121; on the other hand, it facilitates matching the installation positions of two objects in the height direction by using the height difference between the first support portion 1211 and the second support portion 1212.
[0193] The number of first support parts 1211 is unlimited; there can be one or more.
[0194] The number of second support parts 1212 is unlimited; there can be one or more.
[0195] In this embodiment of the application, "multiple" refers to no fewer than two.
[0196] For example, in some embodiments, there is one first support portion 1211 and multiple second support portions 1212. In other embodiments, there are multiple first support portions 1211 and one second support portion 1212.
[0197] In some other embodiments, there are multiple first support portions 1211 and multiple second support portions 1212, and the first support portions 1211 and the second support portions 1212 are arranged alternately along the circumference of the annular structure 121.
[0198] It should be noted that the alternating arrangement of the first support portion 1211 and the second support portion 1212 along the circumference of the annular structure 121 means that, along the circumference of the annular structure 121, a second support portion 1212 is arranged between any two adjacent first support portions 1211, and a first support portion 1211 is arranged between any two adjacent second support portions 1212.
[0199] In this embodiment, the alternating arrangement of the first support portion 1211 and the second support portion 1212 can more evenly distribute the weight of the object connected to the second support portion 1212, balance the load on the first support portion 1211 and the second support portion 1212, and improve the overall load-bearing stability. Furthermore, the first support portion 1211 is provided between two adjacent second support portions 1212, and the first support portion 1211 can act as a buffer, absorbing and dispersing the vibrations generated by the object connected to the second support portion 1212 during operation, reducing noise.
[0200] For example, the surfaces of each second support portion 1212 facing the second side in the thickness direction (this surface can also be understood as the second support surface 1212a, see FIG. 7) are coplanar, and this surface is used to support the object connected to the second support portion 1212. That is, the surfaces of each second support portion 1212 facing the second side in the thickness direction are located on the same plane, which facilitates the improvement of the installation stability of the object connected to the second support portion 1212. In addition, when it is necessary to adjust the installation position of the object connected to the adapter 12, it can be done in the same plane without the need for complex three-dimensional spatial adjustments.
[0201] It should be noted that the annular structure 121 and the plate portion 122 are connected by a transitional side portion 124.
[0202] In some embodiments, the first support portion 1211 has an abutment surface facing a first side in the thickness direction of the annular structure 121, and the object to be connected to the first support portion 1211 is connected to the abutment surface. The abutment surfaces of at least two of the plurality of first support portions 1211 have different heights, thus making it applicable to situations where multiple installation positions of the object have height differences.
[0203] It should be noted that the contact surface here is the first surface 1211c in the above embodiment.
[0204] In some embodiments, the length of the first support portion 1211 is greater than the length of the second support portion 1212 along the circumferential direction of the annular structure 121. This facilitates increasing the contact area between the first support portion 1211 and the corresponding object, thereby improving connection reliability.
[0205] In some embodiments, at least one first support portion 1211 has a structure that is higher in the middle and lower at both ends along the circumference of the annular structure 121. That is, the two ends of at least one first support portion 1211 are closer to the first side in the thickness direction than the middle region of the first support portion 1211, meaning that at least one first support portion 1211 has a generally arched structure. Thus, when the first support portion 1211 is connected to an opposing object, this structure of being higher in the middle and lower at both ends plays a certain limiting role in the circumferential direction, which can reduce the probability of the first support portion 1211 and the object moving relative to each other in the circumferential direction.
[0206] In some embodiments, the plate portion 122 has a through hole 122a. The through hole 122a facilitates the centralized drainage of liquid collected in the recessed area.
[0207] The size of the through hole 122a is not limited, as long as it can meet the structural strength requirements of the adapter 12.
[0208] The number of through holes 122a is unlimited. The shape of through holes 122a is unlimited.
[0209] In some embodiments, the adapter 12 is a one-piece metal sheet. That is, the adapter 12 is made from a single piece of metal. For example, the same metal sheet is stretched to form a plate portion 122 and an annular plate, and the annular plate is subjected to localized plastic deformation along the thickness direction to obtain the annular structure 121. Thus, in this embodiment, the annular structure 121 does not require a bending process, which ensures the continuity of the annular structure 121.
[0210] In this embodiment, the adapter 12 is used as an example of a garment processing device.
[0211] The garment processing equipment includes a base 11, a compressor 13, and an adapter 12 according to any embodiment of this application. The base 11 and the compressor 13 are at least part of the base device described in the above embodiments.
[0212] The compressor 13 and the base 11 are connected via an adapter 12. Specifically, the first support 1211 is connected to the base 11, and the compressor 13 is connected to the second support 1212, meaning the second support 1212 needs to support the weight of the compressor 13. In other words, the compressor 13 is not directly connected to the base 11; the compressor 13 and the base 11 are indirectly connected via the adapter 12.
[0213] The weight of the compressor 13 can be transferred to the first support 1211 via the second support 1212, and then to the base 11.
[0214] The garment processing device of this application embodiment connects the compressor 13 and the base 11 via an adapter 12. This helps reduce the likelihood of vibrations from the compressor 13 being directly transmitted to the base 11 and affecting the operational stability of the base 11. Furthermore, it facilitates adapting the adapter 12 to the compressor 13 and the base 11 by modifying its structure. For example, if the size of the compressor 13 changes when different models of the garment processing device are used, the structure of the base 11's mounting position can remain unchanged. The adapter 12 can be modified to accommodate changes in the compressor 13, eliminating the need to replace the production mold of the base 11 or significantly modify it, thus reducing costs.
[0215] Exemplarily, the base 11 has an air duct, and the garment handling device includes a drum assembly with a garment handling chamber communicating with the air duct. The compressor 13 is part of a heat pump system, which also includes an evaporator and a condenser disposed within the air duct. The evaporator condenses and dehumidifies the airflow passing through the air duct, and the condenser heats the dehumidified airflow. The heated air returns to the garment handling chamber. The compressor 13 is located outside the air duct.
