[0048] 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.

[0049] 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.

[0050] This application provides a base device 10.

[0051] 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.

[0052] This application also provides a garment processing device. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the garment processing device includes a first bobbin assembly 20 and a base device 10 according to any embodiment of this application.

[0053] 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.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 3 to 12. The base device 10 includes a base 11 and a compressor 13.

[0055] The base 11 has an air duct for communicating with the garment processing chamber of the garment processing equipment.

[0056] 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.

[0057] For example, please refer to FIG1, the first tube assembly 20 has a first clothing processing cavity 21.

[0058] 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.

[0059] The following is a brief description of the drying process and principle of the clothing processing equipment in the embodiments of this application.

[0060] 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 re-enters the garment processing chamber. This cycle continues to operate, achieving continuous and efficient drying of the clothes.

[0061] 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, low temperature can be room temperature.

[0062] For example, the base device 10 also includes a heat exchange component for exchanging heat with the airflow.

[0063] 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.

[0064] 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.

[0065] It is understandable that refrigerant, also known as coolant or refrigerant, is a medium used to complete the heat exchange cycle.

[0066] 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.

[0067] 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.

[0068] Specifically, the base 11 includes a bottom wall 111, the bottom wall 111 has a plurality of mounting structures 1113, the mounting structures 1113 have a first support surface 1113a, and the first support surfaces 1113a of at least two mounting structures 1113 are not coplanar.

[0069] The first support surfaces 1113a of at least two mounting structures 1113 are not coplanar, meaning that the first support surfaces 1113a of at least two mounting structures 1113 are set on opposite sides, that is, they are not located on the same plane, and there is a height difference between at least two mounting structures 1113 along the height direction of the base device 10.

[0070] It is understandable that at least two mounting structures 1113's first support surfaces 1113a are not coplanar. This could mean that the first support surfaces 1113a of each mounting structure 1113 are not coplanar, or that some of the first support surfaces 1113 are not coplanar, while some of the first support surfaces 1113a of the mounting structures 1113 are coplanar.

[0071] It should be noted that the number of installation structures 1113 can be two, three or more.

[0072] For example, referring to Figures 11 and 12, the number of mounting structures 1113 can be three. The first support surfaces 1113a of the three mounting structures 1113 are not coplanar.

[0073] The compressor 13 is located on the top side of the bottom wall 111 and is directly or indirectly connected to the mounting structure 1113.

[0074] Specifically, the compressor 13 can be directly connected to the mounting structure 1113. In this case, the compressor 13 can be connected to the first support surface 1113a, thereby achieving a connection with the bottom wall 111. The first support surface 1113a directly provides support for the compressor 13. Alternatively, the compressor 13 can be indirectly connected to the mounting structure 1113, meaning that the compressor 13 does not directly contact the bottom wall 111. The compressor 13 achieves a connection with the bottom wall 111 through a transition structure. In this case, the first support surface 1113a can indirectly provide support for the compressor 13, thereby increasing the connection stability of the compressor 13.

[0075] It is understood that in embodiments where the compressor 13 is directly or indirectly connected to the mounting structure 1113, the compressor 13 can adapt to the height difference between the mounting structures 1113 by adjusting its own structure, or adapt to the height difference between the mounting structures 1113 by using a transition structure, thereby achieving stable installation of the compressor 13.

[0076] The base device 10 provided in this application embodiment has a height difference formed by at least two non-coplanar first support surfaces 1113a. On the one hand, it can reduce the manufacturing requirements and difficulty of the base 11, and also increase the structural strength of the base 11 to provide sufficient structural support for the compressor 13. On the other hand, the non-coplanar design can also facilitate the base 11 to avoid other components of the clothing processing equipment, so as to realize the installation of each component of the clothing processing equipment, and make the structure of the clothing processing equipment compact.

[0077] In some embodiments, in the orthographic projection of the vertical plane of the garment processing cavity, the positions of each of the first support surfaces 1113a decrease sequentially from the axis of the garment processing cavity to the direction away from the axis; wherein, the vertical plane is a vertical plane passing through the axis of the garment processing cavity.

[0078] It should be noted that the direction from the axis of the garment processing chamber to the direction away from the axis refers to the direction in which the lateral distance between each first support surface 1113a and the axis of the garment processing chamber increases.

[0079] In other words, the position of the first support surface 1113a near the axis of the garment processing chamber is higher than that of the first support surface 1113a away from the axis of the garment processing chamber.

[0080] In this embodiment, the variation in the height of each first support surface 1113a can facilitate the formation of a relatively uniform height difference, which can be adapted to the components of the garment processing equipment. For example, it avoids the lower first cylinder assembly 20 and adapts to the outer contour of the first cylinder assembly 20, making the structure of the garment processing equipment more compact.

[0081] It is understandable that the axis of the garment processing chamber can be the axis of the first garment processing chamber 21.

[0082] In some embodiments, the base device 10 includes an adapter 12. The adapter 12 includes a plurality of first support portions 1211 and at least one second support portion 1212, wherein the first support portions 1211 are connected to a first support surface 1113a. The compressor 13 is disposed on the top side of the adapter 12 and is connected to the second support portion 1212.

[0083] The adapter 12 is used to connect the compressor 13 to 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.

[0084] Specifically, when the mounting structure 1113 is connected to the adapter 12, it contacts the adapter 12 through the first support surface 1113a and provides mounting support for the adapter 12.

[0085] Specifically, the first support portion 1211 is connected to the first support surface 1113a, thereby connecting the adapter 12 to the bottom wall 111. The mounting structure 1113 provides support for the first support portion 1211, and in turn provides support for the adapter 12.

[0086] The compressor 13 is connected to the second support 1212. That is, the compressor 13 is installed by connecting to the adapter 12. The adapter 12 isolates the compressor 13, and the compressor 13 is not directly connected to the bottom wall 111.

[0087] Specifically, the compressor 13 is connected to the second support portion 1212 of the adapter 12. The weight of the compressor 13 is transferred to the second support portion 1212, and then to the first support portion 1211. The first support portion 1211 then transfers the weight to the first support surface 1113. Thus, the bottom wall 111 distributes the pressure of the adapter 12 without directly contacting the compressor 13, thereby bearing the load of the compressor 13, 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.

[0088] Understandably, in related technologies, the compressor is directly connected to the base, for example, by bolts or screws. The compressor is fixed to the compressor mounting area of ​​the base, which needs to be designed and manufactured as a planar structure. This places high demands on the compressor mounting area and increases the design and manufacturing difficulty of the base. Furthermore, when installing and connecting the heat exchange components, compressor, and cylinder components within the garment processing equipment, the base structure usually needs to be adapted to facilitate installation and increase the compactness of the garment processing equipment layout. However, a planar structure is not conducive to adapting to changes in different installation environments, resulting in a limited range of adaptability for the base.

[0089] In this embodiment, the compressor 13 is disposed on the top of the adapter 12 and connected through the second support 1212. The compressor 13 is not directly connected to the base 11; instead, it rests on the second support 1212. The first support 1211 is connected to the first support surface 1113a, thereby providing support for the compressor 13 and the adapter 12 on the base 11, increasing the structural stability of the base device 10. Furthermore, the first support surfaces 1113a of at least two mounting structures 1113 on the base 11 are not coplanar, allowing the adapter 12 to accommodate the height difference between the mounting structures 1113, thus achieving stable installation of the compressor 13. This reduces the structural limitations of the area where the base 11 corresponds to the installation of the compressor 13, lowers the manufacturing difficulty of the base 11, and increases the design flexibility of the base 11, enabling the base device 10 to better adapt to the installation requirements of different models or sizes of clothing processing equipment.

[0090] Equipment installation requirements.

[0091] For example, in an application scenario where a garment processing device's cylinder assembly is provided below the base device 10, the structure of the base 11 can be approximately arc-shaped or inclined slope structure to avoid the cylinder assembly, so that the first support surfaces 1113a of at least two mounting structures 1113 are not coplanar. At this time, the adapter 12 can adapt to the height difference between the mounting structures 1113, realize the stable installation of the compressor 13, and thus increase the versatility of the base 11.

[0092] 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.

[0093] The frame 40 is the main support structure, used for the fixed installation and support of other components of the garment processing equipment.

[0094] 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.

[0095] 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.

[0096] 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.

[0097] 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.

[0098] 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.

[0099] 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.

[0100] 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.

[0101] 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.

[0102] The number of second support parts 1212 can be one or more.

[0103] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 6. There are multiple second support portions 1212. Each second support portion 1212 has a second support surface 1212a for connection with the compressor 13. The second support surfaces 1212a of each second support portion 1212 are coplanar.

[0104] Specifically, the second support surface 1212a is used to connect with the compressor 13. The weight of the compressor 13 is transmitted to the second support part 1212 through the second support, then to the first support part 1211, and then to the bottom wall 111.

[0105] It should be noted that the second support surfaces 1212a of each second support part 1212 are coplanar, meaning that each second support surface 1212a is located on the same plane.

[0106] In other words, the various connection points between the compressor 13 and the second support 1212 are coplanar. This ensures that the connection points of the compressor 13 and the second support 1212 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.

[0107] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the position of the second support surface 1212a is lower than any of the first support surfaces 1113a.

[0108] It is understandable that the position of the second support surface 1212a being lower than any of the first support surfaces 1113a means that, in the height direction of the base device 10, the second support surface 1212a is located on the bottom side of any of the first support surfaces 1113a, that is, there is a height difference between the first support surface 1113a and the second support surface 1212a.

[0109] In this embodiment, the height difference design between the second support surface 1212a and the first support surface 1113a facilitates the increase of the structural strength of the adapter 12. Furthermore, the connection between the compressor 13 and the second support surface 1212a makes it easier to install the compressor 13 at a lower position. The second support surface 1212a and the first support surface 1113a can distribute the weight of the compressor 13, and also help to lower the overall center of gravity of the base device 10 and increase the structural stability of the base device 10.

[0110] 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.

[0111] 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.

[0112] 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.

[0113] 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.

[0114] The specific structure of compressor 13 is not limited.

[0115] 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 connecting the compressor body 131 and the second support portion 1212.

[0116] 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.

[0117] 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.

[0118] 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.

[0119] 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.

[0120] 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.

[0121] 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.

[0122] 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.

[0123] 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.

[0124] 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.

[0125] 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.

[0126] 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.

[0127] 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.

[0128] 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.

[0129] 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.

[0130] 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5 and 6. 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.

[0133] 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.

[0134] 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.

[0135] The manner in which the first connector connects to the connecting ear 132 and the second support 1212 is not limited.

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.

[0138] In some embodiments, the base device 10 includes one or more second connectors that connect the first support portion 1211 to the first support surface 1113a.

[0139] 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 first support surface 1113a to connect the first support portion 1211 and the first support surface 1113a, thereby realizing the connection between the adapter 12 and the bottom wall 111.

[0140] In this embodiment, the second connector connects the first support part 1211 and the first support surface 1113a, 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.

[0141] The specific structure of the second connector is not limited; for example, the second connector may be a screw.

[0142] 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.

[0143] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3, 5 and 6, at least one mounting structure 1113 includes a positioning protrusion 1114, the positioning protrusion 1114 protruding from the first support surface 1113a, the first support portion 1211 is provided with a positioning hole 1211a, and the positioning protrusion 1114 passes through the positioning hole 1211a.

[0144] 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 mounting structure 1113, 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 mounting structure 1113 is unnecessary, resulting in quick and accurate assembly.

[0145] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3, 5 and 7, a plurality of first support portions 1211 and at least one second support portion 1212 are connected to form a ring structure 121.

[0146] The annular structure 121 surrounds the outer periphery of the compressor body 131, and the connecting ear 132 is connected to the second support part 1212.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 and 7, the adapter 12 includes an extension structure 122, which includes a plate portion 1221 and a side portion 1222. The side portion 1222 is disposed around the edge of the plate portion 1221, and the top end of the side portion 1222 is positioned above the top surface of the plate portion 1221. The top end of the side portion 1222 is connected to the radial inner edge of the annular structure 121.

[0153] In this embodiment, the side enclosure 1222 and the plate 1221 can increase the structural strength of the adapter 12. The top of the side enclosure 1222 is higher than the top surface of the plate 1221. The height difference between the side enclosure 1222 and the plate 1221 can also play a guiding role. The condensate generated on the surface of the compressor 13 during operation can be guided to the plate 1221 through the side enclosure 1222, avoiding contact between the condensate and the first connector and / or the second connector, and reducing the probability of corrosion of the first connector and / or the second connector.

[0154] In the embodiment where the compressor body 131 is suspended, the compressor body 131 and the plate portion 1221 are spaced apart along the height direction of the base device 10, that is, the compressor body 131 does not contact the plate portion 1221. 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 1221. The plate portion 1221 can increase the structural strength of the adapter 12. The plate portion 1221 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 1221 through the side portion 1222. The plate portion 1221 can receive the condensate or guide the condensate to other structures for collecting condensate.

[0155] In embodiments where the compressor body 131 is not suspended, the bottom end of the compressor body 131 can be supported on the plate 1221, which can provide stable support for the compressor body 131 and reduce the pressure on the second support 1212.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] For example, in an embodiment where the adapter 12 is provided with an extension structure 122, the through hole 122a can be provided on the plate portion 1221 and the liquid collection tank 1113c can be provided on the bottom side of the plate portion 1221, so that the condensate can flow from top to bottom to the liquid collection tank 1113c through the through hole 122a.

[0163] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG8, the bottom wall 111 includes a first bottom wall 1111 and a second bottom wall 1112. The first bottom wall 1111 forms the bottom wall of the air duct, and the second bottom wall 1112 is disposed on one side of the first bottom wall 1111 along a first direction. The first bottom wall 1111 is flat, and the position of the second bottom wall 1112 is lower than that of the first bottom wall 1111. The compressor 13 is disposed above the second bottom wall 1112, wherein the first direction intersects with the height direction of the base device 10.

[0164] In this embodiment, the compressor 13 is located outside the air duct, which facilitates air circulation around the compressor 13, enhances heat dissipation, and reduces the impact of the heat generated by the compressor 13 on the heat exchange components in the air duct. At the same time, it also facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the compressor 13 without affecting the structure of the air duct.

[0165] The first bottom wall 1111 is flat, which facilitates the installation of the heat exchange components in the air duct, allows the heat exchange components to be installed horizontally, and increases the operational stability of the heat exchange components.

[0166] The second bottom wall 1112 is positioned lower than the first bottom wall 1111, forming a stepped structure. This facilitates the installation of the compressor 13 at a lower position, lowers the overall center of gravity of the base device 10, and also facilitates the installation and maintenance of the compressor 13, resulting in a more compact layout of the base device 10. Furthermore, it allows for the creation of a clearance space below the first bottom wall 1111, which is used to accommodate parts of the second cylinder assembly 30, contributing to a more compact structure and reduced height of the garment processing equipment.

[0167] 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.
