Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this disclosure clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it.

When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other element.

This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] It should be understood that the terms “length”, “width”, “up”, “down”, “front”, “back”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “top”, “bottom”, “inner”, “outer”, etc., 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 this disclosure 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 this disclosure.

[0031] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this disclosure, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0032] A garment processing device is a machine used to perform various processing operations on garments. It features a circulating air duct and includes a drum, an impeller, a first drive motor, and a second drive motor. The drum is connected to the circulating air duct, and the impeller circulates air within both the drum and the duct. The first drive motor is connected to the drum, and the second drive motor is connected to the impeller, allowing the drum and impeller to operate independently. However, this driving method occupies considerable space, increasing the overall size of the garment processing equipment.

[0033] Referring to Figures 1 to 5, according to one aspect of this disclosure, embodiments of this disclosure provide a garment processing apparatus aimed at solving the technical problem in related art where the roller and impeller require two drive motors for driving. The garment processing apparatus has a circulation duct 510, includes a roller 100 and an air circulation component 200, the air circulation component 200 being used to circulate air within the roller 100 and the circulation duct 510; the garment processing apparatus also includes a drive component 300, the drive component 300 including a first output shaft 310 and a second output shaft 320 that rotate independently of each other, the first output shaft 310 being drivenly connected to the roller 100, and the second output shaft 320 being drivenly connected to the air circulation component 200.

[0034] In this embodiment, the garment processing device is a dryer; the circulating air duct 510 is a closed channel, constructed of metal (such as galvanized steel plate) or plastic, and its shape and size can be determined according to the actual needs of the garment processing device, without further restrictions. The drum 100 has an air inlet and an air outlet arranged opposite to each other, both of which are connected to the circulating air duct 510. The air circulation component 200 can be an impeller or a fan, installed inside the circulating air duct 510 to ensure that air circulates within the drum 100 and the circulating air duct 510. The drive component 300 can be a dual-shaft permanent magnet synchronous motor, which has two shafts as output shafts and typically contains a rotor and a stator. Advanced independent control technology, such as dual-vector control or multi-degree-of-freedom control, is used in the motor control. By setting multiple independent control windings on the motor stator windings or employing a complex inverter topology, the magnetic field and current corresponding to the two output shafts can be independently controlled, thus making the rotation of the two output shafts independent of each other. In other embodiments, the drive unit 300 may also be a dual-output-shaft brushless DC motor or a dual-output-shaft switched reluctance motor.

[0035] In this disclosure, the drive unit 300 is capable of being driven by both the roller 100 and the air circulation unit 200 simultaneously. This means that the two key components can be driven by a single drive unit 300. This design reduces the number of drive units 300, which helps to make the overall structure of the garment processing equipment more compact, especially for ultra-thin models, allowing for better utilization of limited space. As a result, the dimensions of the garment processing equipment in the width, length, or height directions can be reduced, and space can be reserved for other components, thereby improving the space utilization efficiency of the garment processing equipment.

[0036] Furthermore, the drive unit 300 allows the rotation directions of the roller 100 and the air circulation unit 200 to be independent of each other (i.e., freely changing without interference), ensuring the stability of the garment processing equipment. Specifically, during operation, the roller 100, driven by the first output shaft 310, can rotate forward, stop, and reverse at a set speed and frequency, effectively preventing garments from tangling or becoming entangled within the roller 100. Simultaneously, the air circulation unit 200, driven by the second output shaft 320, can rotate unidirectionally or stop at a set speed and frequency. This allows the air circulation unit 200 to effectively control the airflow and prevent pressure disturbances within the circulation duct 510 caused by forward and reverse rotation.

[0037] Referring to Figures 2 to 5, in one embodiment, the drive unit 300 is a dual-rotor motor, with the first output shaft 310 and the second output shaft 320 respectively connected to a rotor.

[0038] In this embodiment, the dual-rotor motor typically consists of a stator and two rotors, inner and outer. The two rotors are located inside and outside the stator, respectively, forming a nested structure, and can rotate independently during operation. The working principle of the dual-rotor motor is based on the interaction of magnetic fields. The two rotors are each controlled by an independent magnetic field, and greater torque and power are generated through the interaction between the magnetic fields. The first output shaft 310 and the second output shaft 320 are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two rotors, and can be connected by interference fit, key connection, or flange connection. In one specific embodiment, the dual-rotor motor is a variable frequency motor, which can adjust the speed of the drum 100 to 45-70 rpm and the speed of the air circulation component 200 to 2500-3500 rpm.

[0039] The dual-rotor motor can be connected to drive both the roller 100 and the air circulation component 200 simultaneously, which not only reduces the number of drive components 300, but also allows the rotation direction and speed of the roller 100 and the air circulation component 200 to change freely without affecting each other, thus meeting different usage requirements.

[0040] Referring to Figures 5 and 6, in one embodiment, the first output shaft 310 and the second output shaft 320 are coaxial and arranged opposite to each other.

[0041] The above design not only enables the drive unit 300 to achieve bidirectional power output within a relatively small axial space, but also provides a more compact layout compared to non-coaxial dual output shaft designs. This reduces the lateral space occupied by the drive unit 300 in the garment processing equipment, facilitating the miniaturization of the garment processing equipment. Simultaneously, this coaxial and opposite dual output shaft structure provides relatively symmetrical power output, thereby achieving torque balance and improving the stability and reliability of the operation of the roller 100 and the air circulation unit 200.

[0042] Referring to FIG7, in one embodiment, the axis of the first output shaft 310 is parallel to the axis of the roller 100.

[0043] The above design not only helps to optimize the internal space layout of the garment processing equipment without occupying too much installation space, thus leaving enough space for the installation of other components, but also makes the power transmission more stable, avoiding fluctuations in the rotational speed of the roller 100 due to instability in the direction of power transmission, thereby maintaining a good balance for the roller 100.

[0044] Referring to Figures 2 to 7, in one embodiment, the garment processing device further includes a transmission assembly 400, which is drivenly connected between the first output shaft 310 and the roller 100.

[0045] In this embodiment, the transmission component 400 can be a gear transmission structure, a belt transmission structure, or a chain transmission structure. On one hand, as an intermediate link connecting the first output shaft 310 and the roller 100, the transmission component 400 can optimize the power transmission path. For example, by using a suitable belt transmission structure and rationally selecting the type of belt (such as a synchronous belt) and tension, energy loss during power transmission can be reduced, and the power generated by the drive component 300 can be efficiently transmitted to the roller 100, improving the energy utilization rate of the entire garment processing equipment. On the other hand, when the rotational speed or torque of the first output shaft 310 may fluctuate, the transmission component 400 can act as a buffer and stabilizer, making the rotation of the roller 100 more stable. Furthermore, during equipment operation, if the roller 100 encounters a sudden overload (such as excessive clothing entanglement causing the roller 100 to jam), the transmission component 400 can also provide some protection, preventing damage to the drive component 300 due to overload, thereby reducing the possibility of damage such as deformation of the roller 100 due to excessive torque.

[0046] Referring to Figures 2 to 9, in one embodiment, a first transmission wheel 311 is sleeved and mounted on the first output shaft 310; the transmission assembly 400 includes a first transmission belt 410, a second transmission belt 420, and a transmission member 430, the transmission member 430 including a second transmission wheel 431 and a third transmission wheel 432, the second transmission wheel 431 and the third transmission wheel 432 being drivenly connected; the first transmission belt 410 is sleeved on the outer ring of the first transmission wheel 311 and the second transmission wheel 431, and the second transmission belt 420 is sleeved on the outer ring of the third transmission wheel 432 and the roller 100.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first transmission wheel 311 is fixedly sleeved and mounted on the first output shaft 310, and is coaxial with the first output shaft 310; the first transmission belt 410 and the second transmission belt 420 are V-belts, and the second transmission wheel 431 and the third transmission wheel 432 are both fixedly sleeved and mounted on the same mounting shaft, and are coaxially arranged. In other embodiments, the first transmission belt 410 and the second transmission belt 420 may both be synchronous belts, and the first transmission wheel 311, the second transmission wheel 431, and the third transmission wheel 432 are all pulleys used in conjunction with synchronous belts.

[0048] When the first output shaft 310 drives the drum 100 to rotate, the rotation of the first output shaft 310 drives the first transmission wheel 311 to rotate; under the transmission action of the first transmission belt 410, the second transmission wheel 431 rotates; along with the rotation of the second transmission wheel 431, the third transmission wheel 432 will also rotate; under the combined action of the third transmission wheel 432 and the second transmission belt 420, the drum 100 will rotate accordingly.

[0049] On the one hand, the two-stage transmission via the first transmission belt 410 and the second transmission belt 420 allows for relatively flexible speed adjustment. Specifically, the transmission ratio is determined by the diameter ratio of the first transmission wheel 311 to the second transmission wheel 431 and the diameter ratio of the third transmission wheel 432 to the roller 100. By changing the diameter of the transmission wheels, various overall transmission ratios can be obtained, thus enabling fine adjustment of the roller 100's rotational speed to meet the needs of different stages. On the other hand, the presence of the first transmission belt 410 and the second transmission belt 420 makes the power transmission process smoother. Compared to a direct rigid connection, the transmission belt has a certain degree of elasticity and flexibility. When there are slight fluctuations in the rotational speed or torque of the first output shaft 310, the transmission belt can absorb these fluctuations, thereby reducing the direct impact on the rotational speed of the roller 100 and making the rotational speed change of the roller 100 smoother. This ensures a more stable movement of clothing within the roller 100, reducing tangling and wear. In addition, when the roller 100 is suddenly subjected to greater resistance, the transmission belt can avoid rigid impact between the drive component 300 and the roller 100 by taking measures such as slight slippage, thus protecting the drive component 300 and the roller 100 from damage.

[0050] In addition, to extend the service life of the roller 100, multiple drive wheels can be installed at intervals along the circumference of the roller 100 on its outer circumference. The second drive belt 420 is sleeved on the outer ring of the multiple drive wheels to avoid direct contact between the second drive belt 420 and the roller 100.

[0051] Referring to Figures 1 and 5 to 9, in one embodiment, the garment processing device further includes a mounting housing 500, and the transmission component 430 further includes a transmission body 433 and an elastic connector 434. The transmission body 433 is sleeved on the first output shaft 310 and can rotate on the first output shaft 310. The second transmission wheel 431 and the third transmission wheel 432 are both mounted on the transmission body 433 and can both rotate on the transmission body 433. The first end of the elastic connector 434 is connected to the mounting housing 500, and the second end of the elastic connector 434 is connected to the transmission body 433, and applies a tension force to the transmission body 433 in the direction away from the roller 100 (i.e., a tension force in the direction from the transmission body 433 toward the mounting housing 500), as shown in Figure 7, so as to keep the first transmission belt 410 and the second transmission belt 420 in a taut state.

[0052] In this embodiment, the circulating air duct 510 is constructed within the mounting housing 500, and the roller 100 and the drive component 300 are both mounted within the mounting housing 500. The mounting housing 500 not only supports and mounts the circulating air duct 510, roller 100, and drive component 300, but also effectively protects them, thereby extending their service life. The transmission body 433 is rotatable around the axis of the first output shaft 310. The transmission body 433 has a rotatable mounting shaft, the axis of which is parallel to the axis of the first output shaft 310. The second transmission wheel 431 and the third transmission wheel 432 are both fixedly mounted on the mounting shaft. The elastic connector 434 is a metal spring. In other embodiments, the elastic connector 434 may also be a rubber band or a rubber spring.

[0053] On the one hand, the elastic connector 434 applies tension to the transmission body 433, ensuring that the first transmission belt 410 and the second transmission belt 420 remain taut at all times. This effectively prevents slippage due to belt slack during power transmission. On the other hand, the combined use of the transmission body 433 and the elastic connector 434 allows for some displacement adjustment space for the transmission wheel and belt when subjected to vibration and impact, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the transmission assembly 400 due to sudden impact. Furthermore, at the moment of starting or stopping the garment processing equipment, the torque change of the drive component 300 or the inertia of the roller 100 may generate a large impact force on the transmission belt and drive wheel. The tension applied by the elastic connector 434 maintains appropriate tension between the components in the transmission assembly 400, effectively buffering the impact generated at the moment of starting and stopping, thereby extending the service life of the components in the transmission assembly 400.

[0054] In addition, to facilitate the connection of the elastic connector 434 with the transmission body 433 and the mounting shell 500, the transmission body 433 and the mounting shell 500 are provided with a connection hole 435, and the elastic connector 434 can be connected to the transmission body 433 and the mounting shell 500 by hooking into the connection hole 435.

[0055] Referring to Figures 2, 5, and 7, in one embodiment, the roller 100 is positioned above the drive unit 300 in the direction of gravity. This design not only helps reduce the size of the garment handling equipment in the direction of gravity but also facilitates user loading and unloading of garments and maintenance of the drive unit 300. Furthermore, this design allows the drive unit 300 to primarily bear axial torque to drive the roller 100's rotation without having to bear excessive vertical tension due to gravity, thus ensuring stable power transmission.

[0056] Referring to Figures 2 and 7, in one embodiment, the roller 100 is positioned above the transmission member 430 in the direction of gravity. This design not only helps reduce the size of the garment handling equipment in the direction of gravity but also facilitates the user's loading and unloading of garments and maintenance of the transmission member 430. Furthermore, this design allows for a more rational stress distribution on the transmission member 430 during power transmission. Specifically, during the operation of the roller 100, the direction of gravity of the roller 100 remains substantially perpendicular to the power transmission direction (mainly the torque direction) of the transmission member 430. This helps reduce the burden on the transmission member 430 during power transmission, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of power transmission.

[0057] Referring to Figures 2, 5 and 7, in one embodiment, the drive unit 300 further includes a drive body 330, on which the first output shaft 310 and the second output shaft 320 are both mounted; in the direction of gravity (i.e. in the horizontal plane), the orthographic projection of the roller 100 covers the orthographic projection of a portion of the structure of the drive body 330, the first output shaft 310 and the second output shaft 320.

[0058] In this embodiment, the drive body 330 is the main structure of a dual-rotor motor. By adopting the above design, the space occupied horizontally by parts of the drive body 330, the first output shaft 310, and the second output shaft 320 is reduced, contributing to a more compact device structure. Furthermore, the second output shaft 320 is located on the side of the drive body 330 away from the center of the roller 100, while the second transmission belt 420 is fitted onto the outer circumferential surface of the roller 100 at approximately the center position; this design not only helps to shorten the transmission path of the transmission assembly 400, thereby improving transmission efficiency, but also enhances the smoothness of the roller 100's operation.

[0059] Referring to Figures 2 and 7, in one embodiment, the orthographic projection of the roller 100 overlaps the orthographic projection of the transmission member 430 in the direction of gravity. This design reduces the space occupied by the transmission member 430 in the horizontal direction, contributing to a more compact device structure.

[0060] Referring to Figures 2, 3, 6 and 7, in one embodiment, the second drive wheel 431 and the third drive wheel 432 are both located on the side of the first output shaft 310 away from the drum 100.

[0061] The above design not only reduces the size of the garment processing equipment in the gravity direction while avoiding interference between the second drive wheel 431 and the third drive wheel 432 and the drum 100, thus making the equipment structure more compact, but also, because the second drive wheel 431 and the third drive wheel 432 are located on the same side, the power transmission path is relatively simple and direct. This helps to reduce energy loss and mechanical wear during power transmission, improve power transmission efficiency, and ensure that the drum 100 receives more stable and efficient power. Furthermore, the fact that the second drive wheel 431 and the third drive wheel 432 are located on the same side makes it easier for maintenance personnel to operate the equipment during maintenance and repair.

[0062] Referring to Figures 2, 3, 6 and 7, in one embodiment, the second drive wheel 431 and the third drive wheel 432 are both located on the side of the second output shaft 320 away from the drum 100.

[0063] The above design not only reduces the size of the garment processing equipment in the gravity direction while avoiding interference between the second drive wheel 431 and the third drive wheel 432 and the drum 100, thus making the equipment structure more compact, but also, because the second drive wheel 431 and the third drive wheel 432 are located on the same side, the power transmission path is relatively simple and direct. This helps to reduce energy loss and mechanical wear during power transmission, improve power transmission efficiency, and ensure that the drum 100 receives more stable and efficient power. Furthermore, the fact that the second drive wheel 431 and the third drive wheel 432 are located on the same side makes it easier for maintenance personnel to operate the equipment during maintenance and repair.

[0064] Referring to Figures 2, 5 and 7, in one embodiment, the air circulation component 200 is an impeller, which is sleeved and mounted on the second output shaft 320.

[0065] In this embodiment, the impeller can be fixedly mounted on the second output shaft 320 using a key connection, interference fit, bearing, or coupling. This design not only improves the rotational stability of the air circulation component 200 but also reduces additional connecting parts and complex transmission structures, resulting in a more compact device structure. In other embodiments, the air circulation component 200 can also be a fan, and it can be driven to the second output shaft 320 using a gear drive, belt drive, or chain drive structure.

[0066] Referring to Figure 2, in one embodiment, the drum 100 has a mid-section perpendicular to the direction of gravity, and the impeller is located below the mid-section. This design reduces the space occupied by the impeller in the horizontal direction, thus making the device structure more compact.

[0067] In summary, implementing the garment processing equipment provided in this embodiment has at least the following beneficial technical effects: In this disclosure, the driving component 300 can be simultaneously driven and connected to the roller 100 and the air circulation component 200, which means that the driving of two key components can be achieved through one driving component 300; this design reduces the number of driving components 300, which helps to make the overall structure of the garment processing equipment more compact, especially for ultra-thin models, which can better utilize limited space; in this way, the dimensions of the garment processing equipment in the width, length or height direction can be reduced, and space can be reserved for other components, thereby improving the space utilization efficiency of the garment processing equipment.

[0068] Furthermore, the drive unit 300 allows the rotation directions of the roller 100 and the air circulation unit 200 to be independent (i.e., freely changing without interference), ensuring the stability of the garment processing equipment. Specifically, during operation, the roller 100, driven by the first output shaft 310, can rotate forward, stop, and reverse at a set speed and frequency, effectively preventing garments from knotting or tangling. Simultaneously, the air circulation unit 200, driven by the second output shaft 320, can rotate unidirectionally or stop at a set speed and frequency. This allows the air circulation unit 200 to effectively control the airflow and prevent pressure disturbances within the circulation duct 510 caused by forward and reverse rotation.

[0069] The above are merely some embodiments of this disclosure and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
