Detailed Implementation

[0068] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0069] Furthermore, reference numerals and / or reference letters may be repeated in different examples in this disclosure. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity purposes and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, this disclosure provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0070] In related technologies, the cylinder of clothing handling equipment is generally placed horizontally, and clothing needs to be put in / taken out from the front side. Therefore, excessive bending over is required to put in / take out the clothing, which is inconvenient for putting in / taking out the clothing.

[0071] To address the technical problem of current clothing processing equipment being inconvenient for loading / unloading clothes, this disclosure provides a clothing processing device.

[0072] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4, a first aspect embodiment of this disclosure provides a garment processing device comprising: a base 700 and a plurality of cylindrical bodies 400. The plurality of cylindrical bodies 400 are spaced apart from the base 700, the axis of the cylindrical bodies 400 is inclined relative to the base 700, and the cylindrical bodies 400 have an inlet 410.

[0073] The garment processing equipment has multiple drums 400, which can process garments simultaneously or separately, improving garment processing efficiency. Moreover, each drum 400 can be independently programmed with settings such as water temperature, washing time, and spin speed, thereby meeting the processing needs of garments of different materials, colors, or stain levels and achieving customized garment processing.

[0074] Multiple tubes 400 are spaced apart on a base 700, which supports the tubes 400. By integrating multiple tubes 400 onto a single base 700, the structure is compact and saves floor space. Each tube 400 has a loading port 410, through which users can insert / remove clothing.

[0075] Multiple drums 400 allow users to wash different types or colors of clothes simultaneously, avoiding the risk of staining or damage caused by mixing clothes, and improving the flexibility and efficiency of washing.

[0076] When clothes are to be put into / take out of the tub 400, since the axis of the tub 400 is inclined relative to the base 700, the insertion port 410 can face the user. Moreover, under the same volume conditions, compared with the tub 400 whose axis is parallel to the base 700, the insertion port 410 of this disclosure is higher, so the user does not need to bend over excessively or reach out with great effort to put into / take out clothes, thereby reducing the difficulty of putting into / taking out clothes and improving the user experience.

[0077] When clothes are put into the drum 400, since the axis of the drum 400 is tilted relative to the base 700, the clothes can slide naturally down the inner wall of the drum 400 under the action of gravity, without the user having to push or adjust the position of the clothes, thus simplifying the process of putting clothes in.

[0078] Because the axis of the cylinder 400 is inclined relative to the base 700, the top of the cylinder 400 is no longer directly above its bottom, which reduces the projected height of the cylinder 400 in the vertical direction. Under the same volume conditions, compared with the cylinder 400 whose axis is perpendicular to the base 700, the cylinder 400 of this disclosure occupies less space in the vertical direction, thereby reducing the height of the garment processing equipment and facilitating its arrangement.

[0079] The axis of the cylinder 400 is inclined relative to the base 700. It can be understood that the axis of the cylinder 400 is arranged at an angle to the base 700. This angle can be acute or obtuse. In other words, the axis of the cylinder 400 is neither perpendicular nor parallel to the base 700.

[0080] Referring to Figure 1, according to an embodiment of this disclosure, a protective cover 1300 is provided on the base 700, and the protective cover 1300 covers the first cylindrical body 400 and the second cylindrical body 400 to protect the overall appearance of the product.

[0081] Referring to Figures 2, 3, and 4, in some embodiments, when the installation environment of the garment processing equipment has limited height space, in order to install the garment processing equipment, multiple cylinders 400 are spaced horizontally at intervals on the base 700. Compared with the vertical stacking of multiple cylinders 400, this disclosure can more effectively utilize horizontal space while reducing the occupation of vertical space. It can significantly reduce the vertical height occupied by multiple cylinders 400, reduce the height of the garment processing equipment, and reduce the limitation of the installation environment height space on the garment processing equipment, so as to facilitate the installation of the garment processing equipment.

[0082] Furthermore, the axes of multiple cylinders 400 are arranged side by side or intersecting.

[0083] Referring to Figures 2, 3, and 4, in some embodiments, to facilitate the insertion / removal of clothing, the insertion port 410 is located at the end of the cylinder 400 and is coaxially arranged with the cylinder 400, so that the insertion port 410 is inclined relative to the base 700 to increase the distance between the insertion port 410 and the base 700, making the insertion port 410 higher. Users do not need to bend over excessively or reach out with great effort to insert / remove clothing, thereby reducing the difficulty of insertion / removal and improving the user experience.

[0084] By opening a dispensing port 410 at the end of the tub 400, the dispensing port 410 itself can be prevented from occupying the internal space of the tub 400, thereby ensuring that there is enough space inside the tub 400 to hold the clothes.

[0085] Referring to Figure 2, in some embodiments, to facilitate the insertion / removal of clothing, the center of the insertion port 410 is higher than the center of the bottom surface of the cylinder 400. That is, the insertion port 410 is located at a higher position on the cylinder 400, allowing users to easily insert or remove clothing without excessive bending or squatting, reducing the physical burden on users when using the clothing handling device and improving the user experience. For example, when the clothing handling device is in use, the bottom surface of the cylinder 400 is the surface opposite to the insertion port 410, not the circumferential surface of the cylinder 400.

[0086] Referring to Figure 2, in some embodiments, to supply detergent to the drum 400, the garment processing equipment further includes a feeding module 100. The feeding module 100 is located on the base 700 and communicates with multiple drums 400. The feeding module 100 can deliver detergent into the drum 400, automatically dispensing the detergent. Users no longer need to manually add detergent, simplifying the laundry process, reducing user steps, and improving the convenience and user experience of laundry.

[0087] Since the cylinder 400 is generally cylindrical, there is usually a certain gap between two adjacent cylinders 400. Since the feeding module 100 is located between two adjacent cylinders 400, that is, the feeding module 100 is located in the gap between two adjacent cylinders 400, the gap between the two adjacent cylinders 400 is maximized, avoiding additional space occupation of the garment processing equipment, making the garment processing equipment structure compact.

[0088] In the vertical direction, the projections of two adjacent cylinders 400 on the base 700 at least partially overlap with the projection of the feeding module 100 on the base 700. That is to say, the feeding module 100 and the two adjacent cylinders 400 occupy overlapping space in the vertical direction, but the feeding module 100 and the two adjacent cylinders 400 do not physically contact or interfere with each other. This allows the feeding module 100 and the two adjacent cylinders 400 to share the same space area without interference, which can significantly save the space occupied by the feeding module 100 and the two adjacent cylinders 400, making the garment processing equipment compact in structure.

[0089] To facilitate the insertion / removal of clothing through the dispensing port 410, the dispensing port 410 is unobstructed in front. In some embodiments, since the feeding module 100 supplies detergent to the drum 400, it is necessary to add detergent when it runs out. The feeding module 100 and the dispensing port 410 are located on the same side of the base 700, that is, the front of the feeding module 100 is unobstructed to facilitate the addition of detergent.

[0090] Referring to Figure 2, in some embodiments, the garment processing equipment further includes a dispensing box 500 for storing detergent. The dispensing box 500 is connected to the feeding module 100, which can deliver the detergent stored in the dispensing box 500 to the drum 400.

[0091] The dispensing box 500 is located between two adjacent cylinders 400. In other words, the dispensing box 500 is located in the gap between two adjacent cylinders 400, which maximizes the use of the gap between the two adjacent cylinders 400 and avoids occupying other space in the garment processing equipment, making the garment processing equipment compact in structure.

[0092] In the vertical direction, the projections of two adjacent cylinders 400 on the base 700 and the projection of the dispensing box 500 on the base 700 overlap at least partially. That is to say, the dispensing box 500 and the two adjacent cylinders 400 occupy a portion of space in the vertical direction, but the dispensing box 500 and the two adjacent cylinders 400 do not physically contact or interfere with each other. This allows the dispensing box 500 and the two adjacent cylinders 400 to share the same space area without interference, which can significantly save the space occupied by the dispensing box 500 and the two adjacent cylinders 400, making the garment processing equipment structure compact.

[0093] The feeding box 500 is located below the feeding module 100, which can make full use of the vertical space and avoid the waste of horizontal space, making the entire garment processing equipment compact and improving space utilization.

[0094] When detergent is supplied to the feeding module 100 through the dispensing box 500, the dispensing box 500 and the dispensing port 410 are located on the same side of the base 700, that is, there is no obstruction in front of the feeding module 100, so as to facilitate the addition of detergent to the feeding module 100.

[0095] Referring to Figure 3, in some embodiments, in order to drain the water from the cylinder 400, the garment processing device further includes a drainage module 200. The drainage module 200 is disposed on the base 700 and communicates with the plurality of cylinders 400, and the drainage module 200 can drain the water from the cylinders 400.

[0096] The drainage module 200 is located between two adjacent cylinders 400. In other words, the drainage module 200 is located in the gap between two adjacent cylinders 400, which maximizes the use of the gap between the two adjacent cylinders 400 and avoids occupying other space in the garment processing equipment, making the garment processing equipment structure compact.

[0097] In the vertical direction, the projections of two adjacent cylinders 400 on the base 700 overlap with at least a portion of the projection of the drainage module 200 on the base 700. That is, the drainage module 200 and the two adjacent cylinders 400 occupy overlapping space in the vertical direction, but the drainage module 200 and the two adjacent cylinders 400 do not physically contact or interfere with each other. This allows the drainage module 200 and the two adjacent cylinders 400 to share the same space area without interference, which can significantly save the space occupied by the drainage module 200 and the two adjacent cylinders 400, making the garment processing equipment structure compact.

[0098] In some embodiments, in order to make way for other components of the garment processing equipment (such as the feeding module 100), the drainage module 200 and the inlet 410 are located on opposite sides of the base 700, so that the space of the base 700 is used reasonably, avoiding installation space conflicts between various modules, and allowing other key components such as the feeding module to have sufficient installation space, thereby improving the overall compactness and integration of the garment processing equipment.

[0099] Referring to Figure 3, in some embodiments, two drums 400 are provided to dry the clothes inside. The clothes processing device also includes a drying module 800 and an airflow distribution device 600. The drying module 800 is connected to the base 700 and located between the two drums 400. The airflow distribution device 600 connects the drying module 800 and the two drums 400. The drying module 800 and the generated drying airflow can be delivered into the drums 400 through the airflow distribution device 600 to dry the clothes.

[0100] Since the drying module 800 is located between the two cylinders 400, that is, the drying module 800 is located in the gap between the two adjacent cylinders 400, the gap between the two adjacent cylinders 400 is utilized to the maximum extent, avoiding the occupation of other space in the garment processing equipment, making the garment processing equipment structure compact.

[0101] In the vertical direction, the projections of the two cylinders 400 on the base 700 overlap at least partially with the projection of the drying module 800 on the base 700. That is to say, the drying module 800 and the two adjacent cylinders 400 have overlapping space in the vertical direction, but the drying module 800 and the two cylinders 400 do not physically interfere with each other. This allows the drying module 800 and the two adjacent cylinders 400 to share the same space area without interference, which can significantly save the space occupied by the drying module 800 and the two cylinders 400, making the clothing processing equipment structure compact.

[0102] Specifically, the drying module 800 can be located above the drum 400, giving space to other components of the garment processing equipment (such as the feeding module 100 and the drainage module 200), thus making reasonable use of the space inside the garment processing equipment, avoiding installation space conflicts between various modules, and improving the overall compactness and integration of the garment processing equipment.

[0103] In some embodiments, the airflow distribution device 600 has an air inlet 612 communicating with the drying module 800 and two air outlets 613 communicating with the two cylinders 400 respectively. The drying airflow generated by the drying module 800 can enter the airflow distribution device 600 through the air inlet 612. After being distributed in the airflow distribution device 600, it is delivered to the corresponding cylinders 400 through the air outlets 613 respectively to dry the clothes.

[0104] Referring to Figure 4, in some embodiments, to obtain the current displacement of the garment processing device, the garment processing device further includes a motion sensor 300. The motion sensor 300 is connected to the processor 440. The motion sensor 300 detects the device displacement and sends the device displacement to the processor, which then controls the rotational speed of the first cylinder 400 based on the device displacement.

[0105] During equipment operation, motion sensor 300 is coupled to processor 440. Motion sensor 300 can detect the coordinate information of the equipment (including horizontal and vertical coordinates) in real time and transmit the coordinate information to processor 440. Processor 440 receives and processes the acquired coordinate information of the equipment to obtain the displacement of the equipment. It then compares the displacement with the preset displacement stored in processor 440. Based on the comparison result, it controls the rotation speed of the third drive component 430 that drives the cylinder 400 to adjust the rotation speed of the cylinder 400, thereby adjusting the displacement of the equipment. This prevents the equipment from shifting due to vibration, protects the equipment body and the installation environment, and improves safety.

[0106] In some embodiments, the motion sensor 300 is mounted on a base 700 to support it. The base 700 serves as a foundation for supporting the motion sensor 300, facilitating its installation. Of course, in other embodiments, the motion sensor 300 may be mounted on a cylinder 400 or a protective cover 1300.

[0107] Referring to Figures 5 and 6-7, in some embodiments, the feeding module 100 includes a feeding assembly 110 and a first driving member 120. The feeding assembly 110 includes a feeding member 111 and a feeding member 112. The feeding member 111 has a feeding chamber 1111, an inlet 1112 communicating with the feeding chamber 1111, and an outlet 1113 communicating with the feeding chamber 1111. Detergent can enter the feeding chamber 1111 through the inlet 1112 and be discharged from the feeding chamber 1111 through the outlet 1113 to enter the cylinder 400. The feeding member 112 is slidably disposed within the feeding chamber 1111. The first driving member 120 is connected to the feeding member 112 and is used to drive the feeding member 112 to slide within the feeding chamber 1111. Specifically, when the first driving member 120 drives the feeding member 112 to slide away from the feed port 1112, the feed port 1112 feeds material into the taking chamber 1111. When the first driving member 120 drives the feeding member 112 to slide towards the discharge port 1113, the discharge port 1113 discharges the material in the taking chamber 1111.

[0108] The feeding component 112 is slidably disposed within the dispensing chamber 1111. A first driving component 120 is connected to the feeding component 112 and is used to drive the feeding component 112 to slide within the dispensing chamber 1111. When the user needs to add detergent, the first driving component 120 is activated, causing the feeding component 112 to slide away from the inlet 1112, thus creating a negative pressure within the dispensing chamber 1111. Under atmospheric pressure, the detergent enters the dispensing chamber 1111 through the inlet 1112. After step 11, the first driving component 120 drives the feeding component 112 to slide towards the discharge port 1113. The feeding component 112 can push the detergent towards the discharge port 1113, so that the detergent is discharged from the feeding chamber 1111 and enters the drum 400 to clean the clothes inside the drum 400. Users no longer need to manually add detergent. They only need to start the first driving component 120 to automatically complete the detergent addition, which simplifies the washing process, reduces the user's operation steps, and improves the convenience and user experience of washing.

[0109] As the first driving member 120 drives the feeding member 112 to slide away from the feed inlet 1112, under the action of atmospheric pressure, the longer the sliding stroke of the feeding member 112 in the feeding chamber 1111, the larger the negative pressure area formed in the feeding chamber 1111 and the longer the duration, thus allowing more detergent to be drawn into the feeding chamber 1111 from the feed inlet 1112. By controlling the stroke of the first driving component 120 to drive the feeding component 112 to slide away from the feed inlet 1112, the amount of detergent entering the feeding chamber 1111 can be controlled. After the amount of detergent that meets the washing requirements is sucked into the feeding chamber 1111, the first driving component 120 drives the feeding component 112 to slide towards the discharge outlet 1113. The feeding component 112 can discharge the amount of detergent that meets the washing requirements from the feeding chamber 1111 through the discharge outlet 1113, thereby ensuring that the dosage of detergent used in each wash is accurate, avoiding detergent waste, ensuring the best washing effect, and reducing the potential impact of detergent residue on clothes and the environment.

[0110] Of course, in some other embodiments, by controlling the stroke of the first driving member 120 to drive the feeding member 112 to slide away from the feed port 1112, the feeding chamber 1111 can be filled with detergent or have enough detergent. According to the amount of detergent required for washing clothes, the stroke of the feeding member 112 to slide towards the discharge port 1113 can be controlled so that the feeding member 112 only pushes out the amount of detergent that meets the washing requirements through the discharge port 1113, ensuring that the dosage of detergent used in each wash is accurate, avoiding detergent waste, ensuring the best washing effect, and reducing the potential impact of detergent residue on clothes and the environment.

[0111] Referring to Figures 6 and 7, in some embodiments, before the user needs to add detergent, the first drive unit 120 is activated. The first drive unit 120 drives the feeder 112 to slide toward the discharge port 1113. The feeder 112 can push the air in the feeding chamber 1111 to be discharged from the discharge port 1113. When the first drive unit 120 drives the feeder 112 to slide away from the feed port 1112, a negative pressure can be formed in the feeding chamber 1111 so that the detergent can enter the feeding chamber 1111.

[0112] Referring to Figure 6, in some embodiments, the feed inlet 1112 and the discharge outlet 1113 are located on the same side of the material receiving chamber 1111. During the process of material entering the material receiving chamber 1111 through the feed inlet 1112 and discharging material from the material receiving chamber 1111 through the discharge outlet 1113, the feeding component 112 only needs to reciprocate within the material receiving chamber 1111. There is no need for complex turning or repositioning, which reduces the steps and time in the operation process, improves the overall efficiency, and reduces the complexity of the equipment and manufacturing costs.

[0113] The wax motor 121 is a drive device consisting of a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor mounted on a sealed container filled with solid wax. When the solid wax is heated to a controllable temperature by the energized thermistor, it melts and expands, thereby driving a spring-loaded piston outward. This piston may pull the load inward or push it outward, depending on the orientation of the inner container of the wax motor housing and the construction of the spring. When the thermistor is de-energized, the liquid wax cools, and the spring returns the piston to its initial position.

[0114] Referring to Figures 6 and 7, in some embodiments, to enable the feeding component 112 to reciprocate within the receiving chamber 1111, the first driving component 120 includes a wax motor 121. The wax motor 121 is connected to the feeding component 112 and can drive the feeding component 112 to slide away from the inlet 1112, creating a negative pressure within the receiving chamber 1111. Under atmospheric pressure, the detergent enters the receiving chamber 1111 through the inlet 1112. After the detergent enters the receiving chamber 1111, the wax motor 121 can drive the feeding component 112 to slide towards the outlet 1113. The feeding component 112 can push the detergent towards the outlet 1113, causing the detergent to be discharged from the receiving chamber 1111.

[0115] Detergent is generally a viscous liquid, requiring considerable force to draw it into the feeding chamber 1111. To ensure the detergent can be drawn into and discharged from the feeding chamber 1111, the first driving component 120 can be a wax motor 121. During the melting and expansion of solid wax into liquid wax in the wax motor 121, internal pressure is generated. This pressure is transmitted to the feeding component 112, thereby generating a large thrust on the feeding component 112, causing the feeding component 1112 to... 2. It can move smoothly in the material taking chamber 1111 to push the detergent out of the material taking chamber 1111. During the process of the liquid wax in the wax motor 121 cooling to solid wax, the liquid wax will shrink and form a negative pressure. The negative pressure and the spring of the wax motor 121 can work together to the feeding component 112, thereby generating a large pulling force on the feeding component 112, so that the feeding component 112 can move smoothly in the material taking chamber 1111 to draw the detergent into the material taking chamber 1111.

[0116] Because the wax motor 121 has a relatively simple structure and its main components can be designed compactly together, while the diaphragm pump or peristaltic pump contains multiple components and needs to ensure a certain fluid transfer efficiency and stability, the wax motor 121 will be smaller in volume than the diaphragm pump or peristaltic pump under the same power conditions. Using the wax motor 121 can make the first drive unit 120 occupy less space and facilitate the arrangement of the first drive unit 120.

[0117] The reason why the wax motor 121 generates thrust is that solid wax melts and expands into liquid wax. The process of solid wax melting and expanding into liquid wax is a physical change process that does not involve rapid movement or friction of mechanical parts. No mechanical noise is generated in this process, which improves the user experience.

[0118] The reason why the wax motor 121 generates tension is that the liquid wax cools to solid wax. The process of liquid wax cooling to solid wax is a physical change process that does not involve rapid movement or friction of mechanical parts. No mechanical noise is generated in this process, which improves the user experience.

[0119] In order to enable the garment processing equipment to process garments of different materials, in some embodiments, the garment processing equipment includes multiple cylinders 400, each cylinder 400 being designed for a specific type of garment. Furthermore, to enable feeding material to the multiple cylinders 400, multiple material-feeding components 110 are used, and the outlets 1113 of the multiple material-feeding components 110 are all connected to the cylinders 400.

[0120] Referring to Figures 6 and 8, when there are multiple material-taking components 110, in order to drive the feeding element 112 of each material-taking component 110 to slide in the material-taking chamber 1111, an equal number of wax motors 121 as the material-taking components 110 can be set. These wax motors 121 are connected one-to-one with the feeding elements 112 of the multiple material-taking components 110. The wax motors 121 drive the corresponding feeding elements 112 to reciprocate in the material-taking chamber 1111, so as to realize the detergent entering the material-taking chamber 1111 and being discharged from the material-taking chamber 1111.

[0121] Multiple wax motors 121 can operate simultaneously to supply detergent to multiple drums 400 at the same time. Each of the multiple wax motors 121 can operate independently to drive the feeder 112 connected to the operating wax motor.

[0122] Referring to Figures 6, 9, 10, and 11, in some embodiments, to achieve the reciprocating motion of the feeding component 112 within the material receiving chamber 1111, the first driving component 120 includes: a driving part 122, a pushing part 123, a connecting part 124, and a resetting part 125. The pushing part 123 is connected to the driving part 122. The connecting part 124 is connected to the feeding component 112. The two ends of the resetting part 125 are respectively connected to the material receiving component 111 and the connecting part 124. The driving part 122 drives the pushing part 123 to abut against the connecting part 124. In some embodiments, the driving part 122 can be a motor, and the resetting part 125 can be an elastic element, such as a spring.

[0123] Specifically, before the detergent is drawn into the receiving chamber, the drive unit 122 is activated. The drive unit 122 drives the push unit 123 to rotate, so that the push unit 123 abuts against the connecting part 124. The push unit 123 transmits the driving force of the drive unit 122 to the connecting part 124, converting the rotation of the push unit 123 into linear motion of the connecting part 124. The connecting part 124 drives the receiving member 111 to slide towards the discharge port 1113. The feeding member 112 can push the air in the receiving chamber 1111 to be discharged from the discharge port 1113. When the first drive unit 120 drives the feeding member 112 to slide away from the inlet 1112, a negative pressure can be formed in the receiving chamber 1111. At this time, the reset unit 125 is in a compressed state.

[0124] The drive unit 122 drives the push unit 123 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the push unit 123 disengages from the connecting unit 124. The reset unit 125 changes from a compressed state to an extended state. Under the action of the elastic restoring force of the reset unit 125, the reset unit 125 drives the feeder 112 to slide away from the feed inlet 1112, so that a negative pressure is formed in the material taking chamber 1111. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, the detergent can enter the material taking chamber 1111 through the feed inlet 1112.

[0125] After the detergent enters the feeding chamber 1111, the drive unit 122 is activated. The drive unit 122 drives the push unit 123 to rotate, so that the push unit 123 abuts against the connecting part 124. The push unit 123 transmits the driving force of the drive unit 122 to the connecting part 124, converting the rotation of the push unit 123 into the linear motion of the connecting part 124. The connecting part 124 drives the feeding member 111 to slide towards the discharge port 1113. The feeding member 112 can push the detergent towards the discharge port 1113, so that the detergent can be discharged from the feeding chamber 1111.

[0126] Referring to Figures 6 and 12, further, when there are multiple material handling components 110, in order to drive the feeding element 112 of each material handling component 110 to slide within the material handling chamber 1111, the number of connecting parts 124 is equal to the number of feeding elements 112, and the multiple connecting parts 124 are connected one-to-one with the feeding elements 112 of the multiple material handling components 110. Specifically, the driving part 122 drives the pushing part 123 to abut against one of the multiple connecting parts 124.

[0127] When detergent needs to be supplied to one of the multiple drums 400, the feeding component 112 inside the feeding component 111 connected to that drum 400 needs to be driven to move. The driving unit 122 drives the pushing unit 123 to push the connecting part 124 connected to the feeding component 112 to move. It can be understood that by using one driving unit 122 and one pushing unit 123, multiple connecting parts 124 can be driven respectively. This allows one driving unit 122 and one pushing unit 123 to drive multiple feeding components 112 to slide in the feeding chamber 1111, reducing the number of devices, reducing costs, and also reducing the space occupied by the first driving component 120, which facilitates the arrangement of the first driving component 120.

[0128] In order to enable multiple feeding components 110 to supply detergent to the drum 400, the number of reset parts 125 is equal to the number of feeding components 110, and the multiple reset parts 125 are connected one-to-one with multiple connecting parts 124 and feeding parts 111 of multiple feeding components 110.

[0129] Specifically, when there are two material handling components 110, there are also two connecting parts 124. Before the detergent is drawn into the material handling chamber, the pushing part 123 can be located between the two connecting parts 124. Under the driving force of the driving part 122, the pushing part 123 can rotate forward or backward so that the pushing part 123 can abut against one of the two connecting parts 124.

[0130] Referring to Figure 6, in some embodiments, to prevent detergent from being discharged through the feed inlet 1112, the feeding assembly 110 further includes a first one-way valve 130. The first one-way valve 130 is located at the feed inlet 1112.

[0131] When the first driving member 120 drives the feeding member 112 to slide away from the inlet 1112, the first one-way valve 130 is open, allowing detergent to enter the dispensing chamber 1111 through the first one-way valve 130. When the first driving member 120 drives the feeding member 112 to slide towards the outlet 1113, the first one-way valve 130 is closed to prevent detergent from being discharged through the inlet 1112, ensuring that the detergent in the dispensing chamber 1111 can only be discharged through the outlet 1113, thus guaranteeing that the feeding member 112 can discharge the required amount of detergent from the dispensing chamber 1111 through the outlet 1113.

[0132] Referring to Figure 6, in some embodiments, to prevent air or external debris from entering the material handling chamber through the discharge port 1113, the material handling assembly 110 further includes a second one-way valve 140. The second one-way valve 140 is located at the discharge port 1113.

[0133] When the first driving member 120 drives the feeding member 112 to slide towards the discharge port 1113, the second one-way valve 140 is in the open state, and the detergent can be discharged from the receiving chamber 1111 through the second one-way valve 140. When the first driving member 120 drives the feeding member 112 to slide away from the inlet 1112, the second one-way valve 140 is in the closed state to prevent air from entering the receiving chamber 1111 through the discharge port 1113, so as to ensure that a negative pressure can be formed in the receiving chamber 1111, so as to draw the amount of detergent that meets the washing requirements into the receiving chamber 1111. In addition, it also prevents external debris from entering the receiving chamber 1111 through the discharge port 1113, ensuring the cleanliness of the detergent in the receiving chamber 1111.

[0134] Referring to Figure 6, in some embodiments, in order to ensure the sealing of the material taking chamber 1111, the material feeding component 112 is fitted with a first sealing component 1121, which is located inside the material taking component 111.

[0135] When the first driving member 120 drives the feeding member 112 to slide away from the feed inlet 1112, the first sealing member 1121 seals the feeding member 112 and the inner wall of the feeding chamber 1111, preventing outside air from entering the feeding chamber 1111 and ensuring that a negative pressure can be formed in the feeding chamber 1111. At the same time, it also prevents detergent leakage into the feeding chamber 1111, thus improving the user experience.

[0136] When the first driving member 120 drives the feeding member 112 to slide toward the discharge port 1113, the first sealing member 1121 seals the feeding member 112 and the inner wall of the feeding chamber 1111, preventing the detergent discharged from the feeding chamber 1111 from leaking, ensuring that the amount of detergent discharged from the feeding chamber 1111 meets the requirements, and improving the user experience.

[0137] Referring to Figures 2 and 13, in some embodiments, the garment processing device includes a drum 400, a dispensing box 500, and a feeding module 100. The dispensing box 500 is connected to the inlet 1112 of the feeding assembly 110, and the drum 400 is connected to the outlet 1113 of the feeding assembly 110. The dispensing box 500 stores detergent.

[0138] When the user needs to add detergent, the first drive unit 120 is activated. The first drive unit 120 drives the feeding unit 112 to slide away from the feed inlet 1112, so that a negative pressure is formed in the dispensing chamber 1111. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, the detergent in the dispensing box 500 enters the dispensing chamber 1111 through the feed inlet 1112. After the detergent enters the dispensing chamber 1111, the first drive unit 120 drives the feeding unit 112 to slide towards the discharge outlet 1113. The feeding unit 112 can push the detergent towards the discharge outlet 1113, so that the detergent is discharged from the dispensing chamber 1111 and enters the drum 400, thus cleaning the clothes in the drum 400. The user no longer needs to manually add detergent. He / she only needs to activate the first drive unit 120 to automatically complete the detergent dispensing.

[0139] Referring to Figure 13, in some embodiments, to achieve the mixing of detergent and water, the feeding module 100 further includes a mixing component 150 and a water inlet component. The mixing component 150 is connected to the discharge port 1113 of the cylinder 400 and the feeding assembly 110. The water inlet component is connected to the mixing component 150.

[0140] When the detergent is discharged through the outlet 1113, it enters the mixing unit 150. At this time, the water inlet supplies water to the mixing unit 150, so that the water and detergent can be mixed in the mixing unit 150 in time, ensuring that the detergent and water are fully mixed and improving the washing efficiency.

[0141] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 14 and 15, the drainage module 200 is connected to multiple cylinders 400 of the garment processing device. The drainage module 200 includes a first valve seat 210, multiple connecting channels 220, and multiple valve cores 230. The multiple connecting channels 220 are connected one-to-one with the drain outlets of the multiple cylinders 400. The multiple valve cores 230 are installed on the first valve seat 210 and are disposed one-to-one within the multiple connecting channels 220 for opening and closing the corresponding connecting channels 220.

[0142] Multiple connecting channels 220 are connected one-to-one with the drain outlets of multiple cylinders 400, allowing water inside the cylinders 400 to flow into the corresponding connecting channels 220. Multiple valve cores 230 are correspondingly located within the connecting channels 220, used to open and close the corresponding connecting channels 220. By opening and closing the valve cores 230, it is possible to control whether water inside the cylinders 400 is discharged through the connecting channels 220, thereby controlling the drainage process.

[0143] Multiple valve cores 230 are installed on the first valve seat 210, so that multiple valve cores 230 are integrated on one first valve seat 210, realizing one first valve seat 210 with multiple valve cores 230. Compared with multiple valves installed separately, integration is achieved, making the structure compact, occupying less space, and saving space.

[0144] Multiple valve cores 230 are integrated on a first valve seat 210. When installing the first valve seat 210, multiple valve cores 230 can be installed without the need to install a drain valve for each cylinder 400, which makes the installation process simpler and reduces installation time and cost.

[0145] The connecting channel 220 can be the water inlet channel of the first valve seat 210 or the water outlet channel of the cylinder 400. Water in the cylinder 400 can flow into the connecting channel 220.

[0146] Referring to Figures 15 and 16, in some embodiments, to enable the valve core 230 to open and close the communication channel 220, the communication channel 220 is provided with an inlet 221 and an outlet 222. The valve core 230 includes a valve stem 231 and a sealing member 232. The valve stem 231 is slidably disposed within the communication channel 220 and switches between a first position and a second position. The sealing member 232 is connected to the valve stem 231. Specifically, when the valve stem 231 is in the first position, the inlet 221 and the outlet 222 are connected. When the valve stem 231 is in the second position, the sealing member 232 blocks the connection between the inlet 221 and the outlet 222. For example, the inlet 221 is connected to the cylinder 400.

[0147] When the cylinder 400 needs to drain, the valve stem 231 slides within the connecting channel 220 to reach the first position. At this time, the sealing member 232 no longer blocks the connection between the inlet 221 and the outlet 222, and the inlet 221 and the outlet 222 are connected. Water in the cylinder 400 enters the connecting channel 220 through the inlet 221 and is discharged through the outlet 222. When the cylinder 400 does not need to drain, the valve stem 231 slides within the connecting channel 220 to reach the second position. At this time, the sealing member 232 blocks the connection between the inlet 221 and the outlet 222, and the inlet 221 is no longer connected to the outlet 222. Water in the cylinder 400 will not enter the connecting channel 220 through the inlet 221.

[0148] Furthermore, when the sealing component 232 blocks the inlet 221 and the outlet 222, the sealing component 232 can block the inlet 221, block the outlet 222, and block the connection between the inlet 221 and the outlet 222, thus achieving the closure of the connecting channel 220.

[0149] Specifically, the sealing element 232 can be a bellows, which is sleeved on the valve stem 231. When the valve stem 231 is in the first position, the bellows is in a compressed state, and the bellows no longer blocks the inlet 221 and outlet 222, allowing the inlet 221 and outlet 222 to communicate. When the valve stem 231 is in the second position, the bellows is in an extended state, and the bellows can block the inlet 221 and outlet 222.

[0150] Of course, in some other embodiments, the sealing element 232 can be a plug.

[0151] Referring to Figures 14 and 18, in some embodiments, in order to enable the valve core 230 to open and close the communication channel 220, the drainage module further includes a power assembly 240. The power assembly 240 is connected to the valve core 230 to drive the valve core 230 to open and close the communication channel 220.

[0152] The power unit 240 can transmit power to the valve core 230 to drive the valve core 230 to move, so that the valve core 230 can open and close the communication channel 220, realizing automation, improving work efficiency and ease of operation, and reducing the problems of misoperation or untimely operation caused by human factors.

[0153] Referring to Figures 18 and 22, in some embodiments, to enable the multiple valve cores 230 to open and close multiple communication channels 220, the power assembly 240 includes a first actuator 241 and a connecting assembly 242. The connecting assembly 242 is connected to the first actuator 241 and the multiple valve cores 230. The first actuator 241 can transmit power to one of the multiple valve cores 230 through the connecting assembly 242, causing that valve core 230 to open and close the communication channel 220.

[0154] Referring to Figures 18, 19, 20, and 21, in some embodiments, for driving the valve core 230, the connecting assembly 242 includes a pusher 2421 and a plurality of first connectors 2422. The plurality of first connectors 2422 are connected to the plurality of valve cores 230 in a one-to-one correspondence, and an angle is formed between the first connector 2422 and the corresponding valve core 230. The pusher 2421 is connected to a first actuator 241 and abuts against one of the plurality of first connectors 2422. When the pusher 2421 abuts against the first connector 2422, the valve core 230 opens the communication channel 220. When the pusher 2421 disengages from the first connector 2422, the valve core 230 closes the communication channel 220. In some embodiments, the first actuator 241 may be a motor.

[0155] When one of the multiple cylinders 400 needs drainage, the first actuator 241 drives the pusher 2421 to actuate. The pusher 2421 abuts against one of the multiple first connectors 2422, transmitting the driving force of the first actuator 241 to one of the multiple first connectors 2422. This causes one of the multiple first connectors 2422 to actuate one of the multiple valve cores 230, opening the communication channel 220. At this time, the remaining communication channels 220 are closed. When one of the cylinders 400 does not need drainage, the first actuator 241 drives the pusher 2421 to actuate. The pusher 2421 disengages from one of the multiple first connectors 2422, which returns to its original position. The valve core 230 is no longer driven by the pusher 2421 and closes the communication channel 220.

[0156] Since the pusher 2421 can transmit the power of the first driver 241 to one of the multiple first connectors 2422, that is, the opening and closing of multiple connecting channels 220 can be realized by using one first driver 241 and one pusher 2421, which can reduce costs.

[0157] In some embodiments, in order to achieve the closure of multiple communication channels 220 by multiple valve cores 230, when the pusher 2421 and multiple first connectors 2422 are disengaged, the pusher 2421 no longer transmits the power of the first driver 241 to the first connectors 2422, and the first connectors 2422 return to their original positions, so that the multiple valve cores 230 close the multiple communication channels 220.

[0158] In some embodiments, in order to enable the pusher 2421 to transmit the power of the first driver 241 to the first connector 2422, and the first driver 241 to drive the pusher 2421 to rotate, when the pusher 2421 abuts against one of the plurality of first connectors 2422 and applies the driving force of the first driver 241 to one of the plurality of first connectors 2422, the rotational motion of the pusher 2421 can be converted into the linear motion of the first connector 2422, so that the first connector 2422 can drive the valve core 230 to move.

[0159] In some embodiments, when there are two cylinders 400, there are also two connecting channels 220, valve cores 230 and first connectors 2422.

[0160] When neither of the two cylinders 400 needs to drain water, the pusher 2421 is disengaged from both first connectors 2422. The pusher 2421 can be located between the two first connectors 2422, and the pusher 2421 will not transmit the power of the first driver 241 to the two first connectors 2422.

[0161] When one of the two cylinders 400 needs to drain, the pusher 2421 abuts against one of the two first connectors 2422 to transmit the power of the first actuator 241 to one of the two first connectors 2422, causing one of the two valve cores 230 to open one of the two connecting channels 220. At this time, the pusher 2421 disengages from the other of the two first connectors 2422, one of the two valve cores 230 remains in place, and the other of the two cylinders 400 does not drain.

[0162] Referring to Figures 22 and 23, in some embodiments, for actuating the valve core 230, the connecting assembly 242 includes a second connector 2423, a pull cord 2424, and a support 2425. The second connector 2423 is hinged to a plurality of valve cores 230. One end of the pull cord 2424 is connected to a first actuator 241, and the other end is connected to one end of the second connector 2423. The support 2425 is connected to a first valve seat 210 and is hinged to the second connector 2423. In some embodiments, the first actuator 241 may be a puller.

[0163] When one of the multiple cylinders 400 needs drainage, the first actuator 241 pulls the pull rope 2424, which in turn pulls one end of the second connector 2423, transmitting the driving force of the first actuator 241 to the second connector 2423. This causes the second connector 2423 to rotate on the support 2425, and one end of the second connector 2423 tilts away from the first valve seat 210. The second connector 2423 then pulls one of the multiple valve cores 230, causing that valve core 230 to open the communication channel 220. When one of the cylinders 400 does not need drainage, the first actuator 241 releases the pull rope 2424, which no longer pulls the second connector 2423. The second connector 2423 returns to its original position, and the valve core 230 is no longer under the tension of the pull rope 2424, causing it to close the communication channel 220.

[0164] Since the pull rope 2424 can transmit the power of the first driver 241 to one of the multiple valve cores 230 through the first connector 2422, the opening and closing of multiple connecting channels 220 can be achieved by using one first driver 241, one pull rope 2424 and one second connector 2423, which can reduce costs.

[0165] In some embodiments, when there are two cylinders 400, there are also two connecting channels 220 and two valve cores 230, and the two ends of the second connector 2423 are respectively connected to the two valve cores 230.

[0166] When one of the two cylinders 400 needs drainage, the pull rope 2424 pulls one end of the second connector 2423, causing the second connector 2423 to rotate on the support 2425. One end of the second connector 2423 tilts away from the first valve seat 210, pulling one of the two valve cores 230, causing it to open one of the two connecting channels 220. At this time, the other end of the second connector 2423 presses down towards the first valve seat 210, pushing the other valve core 230, causing it to close the other of the two connecting channels 220.

[0167] In some embodiments, to enable the multiple valve cores 230 to open and close multiple communication channels 220, the multiple valve cores 230 include a first valve core group 233 and a second valve core group 234 respectively located on both sides of the support base 2425. When one group of the first valve core group 233 and the second valve core group 234 closes the communication channel 220, the other group opens the communication channel 220. For example, both the first valve core group 233 and the second valve core group 234 may consist of one or more valve cores 230.

[0168] When the pull rope 2424 pulls the second connector 2423 to rotate on the support base 2425, the second connector 2423 will pull one of the first valve core group 233 and the second valve core group 234, causing a portion of the multiple connecting channels 220 to open, and push the other one, causing another portion of the multiple connecting channels 220 to close.

[0169] Referring to Figure 24, in some other embodiments, the connecting component 242 may not require the pull rope 2424. The first driver 241 can be directly fixed to the support base 2425, and its output end is directly connected to the second connector 2423 to drive the second connector 2423 to rotate on the support base 2425. For example, the output end of the first driver 241 is connected to the middle of the second connector 2423. In this case, the first driver 241 can be a motor.

[0170] Referring to Figures 15 and 17, in some embodiments, to achieve the reset of the valve core 230, the power assembly 240 further includes a plurality of reset members 245. The plurality of reset members 245 are correspondingly sleeved on the plurality of valve cores 230 and located correspondingly within the plurality of communicating channels 220, with both ends of the reset members 245 connected to the inner wall of the corresponding communicating channel 220. Specifically, when the valve core 230 opens the communicating channel 220, the reset member 245 is in a stretched state; when the valve core 230 closes the communicating channel 220, the reset member 245 is in a retracted state. In some embodiments, the reset member 245 can be an elastic element, such as a spring.

[0171] When the pusher 2421 abuts against one of the multiple first connectors 2422, one of the multiple first connectors 2422 pulls one of the multiple valve cores 230 to open one of the multiple connecting channels 220. At this time, the reset member 245 on the valve core 230 is in a stretched state, and the reset members 245 on the other valve cores 230 are in a retracted state, so that the other valve cores 230 are in their original positions to close the remaining connecting channels 220. When the pusher 2421 disengages from one of the multiple first connectors 2422, one of the multiple first connectors 2422 no longer pulls one of the multiple valve cores 230 to open one of the multiple connecting channels 220. At this time, the reset member 245 on the valve core 230 changes from a stretched state to a retracted state. Under the action of the elastic restoring force of the reset member 245, the reset member 245 pulls the valve core 230 back to its original position to close one of the multiple connecting channels 220.

[0172] When the pull cord 2424 pulls one end of the second connector 2423, the second connector 2423 pulls one of the multiple valve cores 230. At this time, the reset member 245 on the valve core 230 is in a stretched state, causing the valve core 230 to open one of the multiple communication channels 220. When the pull cord 2424 stops pulling one end of the second connector 2423, the reset member 245 on the valve core 230 changes from a stretched state to a retracted state. Under the action of the elastic restoring force of the reset member 245, the reset member 245 pulls the valve core 230 back to its original position, thereby closing one of the multiple communication channels 220.

[0173] Referring to Figures 25 and 26, in some embodiments, to enable the multiple valve cores 230 to open and close the multiple communication channels 220, the power assembly 240 includes: multiple second actuators 243 and multiple ball screws 244. The multiple ball screws 244 are connected one-to-one with the multiple second actuators 243 and the multiple valve cores 230. For example, the second actuators 243 may be motors.

[0174] The power of the second actuator 243 is transmitted to the ball screw 244, which can drive the valve core 230 to move within the communication channel 220 to open or close the communication channel 220.

[0175] Multiple second actuators 243 can drive multiple valve cores 230 to simultaneously close the communication channel 220 via multiple ball screws 244, or simultaneously open the communication channel 220, or open a portion of the multiple communication channels 220 and close another portion.

[0176] Traditionally, a washing machine is a household appliance used to wash clothes. However, as living standards have improved, consumers' demands for washing machines have increased. Different sizes, types, and materials of clothing require different washing environments. Therefore, twin-tub washing machines have been introduced to the market, allowing a single machine to wash different types of clothing.

[0177] In related technologies, when a garment processing device with a dual-drum and drying function is running, the washing programs executed by the two drums may be inconsistent when the two drums are running simultaneously. This causes the timing of the drying module of the garment processing device to provide drying airflow to the two drums to be inconsistent. How to solve the airflow distribution of the drying module of the garment processing device is a technical problem that needs to be solved.

[0178] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this disclosure provides an airflow distribution device, which aims to solve the airflow distribution of the drying module to at least a certain extent, so as to adapt to the operation of the two drums of the clothing processing equipment.

[0179] The design concept of this disclosure is as follows: An airflow distribution device is installed to connect the drying module and two drums of a garment processing equipment. When both drums are performing a drying program, the airflow distribution device is controlled in a first operating state, allowing the drying module to communicate with both drums, and the drying airflow generated by the drying module is delivered to both drums. When one drum is performing a drying program, the airflow distribution device is controlled in a second operating state, allowing the drying module to communicate with the drum performing the drying program, while isolating the drying module from the other drum, and the drying airflow generated by the drying module is delivered to the drum performing the drying program. Based on this design concept, and with reference to Figures 27-30, the specific details of the airflow distribution device are further described.

[0180] Referring to Figures 27 and 28, the airflow distribution device 600 provided in this disclosure includes a second valve seat 610, which has a built-in valve cavity 611. An air inlet 612 and an air outlet 613 communicating with the valve cavity 611 are spaced apart on the periphery of the second valve seat 610. The drying airflow generated by the drying module 800 is injected into the valve cavity 611 of the second valve seat 610 through the air inlet 612, and then led out through the air outlet 613 to the corresponding connected cylinder 400. Therefore, when the cylinder 400 is in different operating programs, opening or blocking the air outlet 613 communicating with the cylinder 400 can introduce drying airflow into the cylinder 400 performing the drying program, or block the drying airflow to introduce it into the cylinder 400 not performing the drying program.

[0181] Referring to Figures 27 and 28, according to an embodiment of this disclosure, the air inlet 612 is located on one side of the second valve seat 610, and the two air outlets 613 are located on the other side of the second valve seat 610, so that the air inlet 612 and the two air outlets 613 are arranged approximately opposite to each other. The air inlet 612 and the two air outlets 613 form two air intake channels 614. The drying airflow generated by the drying module 800 is introduced into the connected cylinder 400 through the air intake channels 614 and the air outlets 613 to dry the clothes in the cylinder 400.

[0182] Referring to Figures 27 and 28, according to an embodiment of this disclosure, the airflow distribution device 600 further includes a valve plate 620, which is rotatably connected to the mounting portion 615 between the two air outlets 613. The valve plate 620 can be controlled to rotate within the valve cavity 611 to block at least a portion of any one of the air intake channels 614, thereby opening or blocking the air intake channel 614 communicating with the cylinder 400. This allows the drying airflow to be introduced into the cylinder 400 where the drying process is being performed, or the drying airflow to be blocked and introduced into the cylinder 400 where the drying process is not being performed, so as to satisfy the airflow distribution of the drying module 800.

[0183] Referring to Figures 27 and 28, according to one embodiment of this disclosure, the second valve seat 610 can be assembled from the first housing 616 and the second housing 617 to form a columnar structure, facilitating the assembly of the internal components of the second valve seat 610. To prevent the drying airflow from overflowing, a sealing portion (not shown) can be provided between the side walls of the first housing 616 and the second housing 617.

[0184] Referring to Figures 27 and 28, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the airflow distribution device 600 further includes a second drive member 630, which is connected to the outer side of the side portion of the second valve seat 610. The second drive member 630 can be a motor and has a rotating output shaft. The output shaft of the second drive member 630 is connected to the connecting shaft 622 of the valve plate 620 to drive the valve plate 620 to reciprocate within the valve cavity 611.

[0185] Referring to Figure 29, according to an embodiment of this disclosure, two air outlets 613 are disposed on both sides of the bottom of the side of the second valve seat 610, and an air inlet 612 is disposed in the middle area of ​​the top of the side of the second valve seat 610, thereby forming two V-shaped air intake channels 614; a mounting part 615 for connecting the valve plate 620 is disposed in the area between the two air outlets 613 and is disposed opposite to the air inlet 612, the bottom of the valve plate 620 is rotatably connected to the mounting part 615, and the top of the valve plate 620 extends toward the air inlet 612. When both cylinders 400 are drying and forming, the valve plate 620 stands vertically in the valve cavity 611, and the airflow distribution device 600 is in the first working state. When only one cylinder 400 is drying, the valve plate 620 is rotated and tilted to block the air duct 614 connected to the cylinder 400 that is not drying. The drying airflow generated by the drying module 800 is delivered to the cylinder 400 that is drying, and the airflow distribution device 600 is in the second working state.

[0186] Referring to Figures 28 and 29, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the mounting portion 615 in the valve cavity 611 is disposed in the area between the two air outlets, and the length dimension of the valve plate 620 is greater than the distance between the mounting portion 615 and the side wall in the width direction of the valve cavity 611, so that when the valve plate 620 is tilted and rotated, it can abut against the side wall in the width direction of the valve cavity 611, thereby blocking the air duct 614 connected to the cylinder 400 that has not performed the drying process.

[0187] Referring to Figures 28-30, according to an embodiment of this disclosure, a support hole 618 is provided on one side wall of the mounting portion 615 (or the side wall of the first housing 616), and a through hole 619 is provided on the other side of the mounting portion 615 (or the side wall of the second housing 617). Correspondingly, a support shaft 621 is provided on one side of the valve plate 620, and a connecting shaft 622 is provided on the other side of the valve plate 620. The support shaft 621 is rotatably connected to the support hole 618 of the mounting portion 615, and the connecting shaft 622 rotatably passes through the through hole 619 for connection with the second drive member 630 disposed outside the second valve seat 610. Bearings or copper sleeves may be provided between the support shaft 621 and the support hole 618 or / and between the connecting shaft 622 and the through hole 619 to improve the smoothness of the rotation of the valve plate 620.

[0188] Referring to Figure 30, according to an embodiment of this disclosure, the valve plate 620 is generally a plate-shaped structure, and the valve plate 620 is disposed between the two axial ends of the valve cavity 611. Wear-resistant parts (not shown) may be provided on the sides of the valve plate 620 facing the two axial ends of the valve cavity 611. The wear-resistant parts may be elastic to elastically compensate for the wear of the valve plate 620 during use, ensure the sealing between the side walls of the valve plate 620 and the two axial ends of the valve cavity 611, and prevent the drying airflow from leaking into the cylinder 400 where the drying process has not been performed through the gap between the side walls of the valve plate 620 and the two axial ends of the valve cavity 611.

[0189] Based on the above design concept, in a second aspect of this disclosure, a garment processing device is also provided. Referring to Figures 31 and 32, the garment processing device includes a base 700, a drying module 800, the aforementioned airflow distribution device 600, and two cylindrical bodies 400. The two cylindrical bodies 400 are horizontally connected side-by-side to the base 700. The drying module 800 is connected to the base 700. The air inlet 612 of the airflow distribution device 600 is connected to the output port of the drying module 800, and two air outlets 613 are respectively connected to the two cylindrical bodies 400. The drying airflow generated by the drying module 800 can enter the valve chamber 611 of the second valve seat 610 through the air inlet 612, and then be further processed by induced draft... The air inlets 614 and 613 enter the corresponding drums 400 to dry the clothes inside. Since the valve plate 620 is rotatably connected to the mounting portion 615 between the two air outlets 613, the valve plate 620 can be controlled to rotate within the valve chamber 611 to block at least a portion of any one of the air inlet channels 614. This allows the opening or blocking of the air inlet channels 614 communicating with the drum 400, thereby introducing drying airflow into the drum 400 where the drying process is being performed, or blocking the introduction of drying airflow into the drum 400 where the drying process is not being performed, thus satisfying the airflow distribution of the drying module 800. The details of the clothing processing equipment with the airflow distribution device 600 are now further described with reference to Figures 31-35.

[0190] Referring to Figure 31, according to an embodiment of this disclosure, two cylinders 400 are arranged side by side on the base 700 via corresponding mounting brackets 900. The inlets of both cylinders 400 are inclined upwards to facilitate users in depositing clothing. The sides of the two cylinders 400 are connected by a connecting bracket 1000, which can be a frame structure to enhance the integrity between the two cylinders 400, reduce vibration of at least one cylinder 400 during operation, and improve user experience.

[0191] Referring to Figure 32, according to one embodiment of this disclosure, the drying module 800 is disposed between two cylinders 400 to utilize the space between the two cylinders 400, which facilitates the miniaturization of the clothing processing equipment. In a specific implementation, the drying module 800 can be mounted on the top of the connecting bracket 1000.

[0192] Referring to Figure 33, in one embodiment, the drying module 800 includes an air-guiding component 810 and a heating component 820. The air-guiding component 810 is connected to the air inlet 612 of the second valve seat 610 via an air-guiding pipe 830. The heating component 820 can be a heating plate or a heating wire, and is disposed within the air-guiding pipe 830, i.e., upstream of the air-guiding component 810. When the drying module 800 is working, the air-guiding component 810 introduces airflow into the air-guiding pipe 830, and after being heated by the heating component 820, generates dry airflow which is input into the airflow distribution device 600. The airflow distribution device 600 then distributes the airflow to the drying and forming cylinder 400. In another embodiment, the heating component 820 may also be disposed upstream of the air-guiding component 810.

[0193] Referring to Figure 34, according to one embodiment of this disclosure, the backs of the two cylinders 400 are located on the same vertical plane. The second valve seat 610 of the airflow distribution device 600 can be integrally formed or rigidly connected between the backs of the two cylinders 400 by means of screws or the like. The air inlet of the second valve seat 610 is higher than the top of the connecting bracket 1000, and the air inlet 612 is opened on the air inlet to shorten the length of the air duct 830, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the garment processing equipment. In a specific implementation, the air inlet 612 can be set in the middle area of ​​the top of the side of the second valve seat 610 facing the cylinder 400.

[0194] Referring to Figure 34, in one embodiment, the second valve seat 610 has an air outlet that is at least partially fitted with the cylinder 400. An air outlet 613 is disposed on the air outlet to introduce the drying airflow from the valve chamber 611 of the second valve seat 610 into the corresponding cylinder 400 for drying clothes. Since the air outlet of the second valve seat 610 is fitted with the back of the cylinder 400, the second valve seat 610 can be fixedly mounted to the back of both cylinders 400, and the pipe connecting the air outlet 613 of the second valve seat 610 to the cylinder 400 can be omitted, simplifying the structure and facilitating the miniaturization of the clothing processing equipment. In another embodiment, the two air outlets 613 of the second valve seat 610 of the airflow distribution device 600 can also communicate with the periphery of the two cylinders 400; this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.

[0195] Referring to Figure 34, in one embodiment, the second valve seat 610 has two air outlets on its bottom sides facing the cylinder 400. Both air outlets are integrally perforated to serve as two air outlets 613 of the second valve seat 610, thereby improving the air outlet effect. In another embodiment, the two air outlets may also be partially perforated to serve as two air outlets 613 of the second valve seat 610; this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.

[0196] Referring to Figure 34, a recessed area is provided in the center of the bottom side of the second valve seat 610. The inner wall of the recess is configured as a mounting part 615, which is located directly below the air inlet. One side of the valve plate 620 is rotatably connected to the mounting part 615, and the other side of the valve plate 620 extends towards the top of the valve cavity 611. The recessed mounting part 615 provides space for the garment processing equipment to install other components (such as drainage modules), thereby making reasonable use of the internal space and facilitating the miniaturization of the garment processing equipment.

[0197] Referring to Figure 34, in one embodiment, exhaust vents 420 are provided on the periphery of both cylinders 400. The exhaust vents 420 are positioned as far away from the back of the cylinders 400 as possible to extend the flow path of the drying airflow within the cylinders 400 and improve the drying effect of clothes.

[0198] Referring to Figure 34, as can be seen from the above, an air inlet 612 is provided at the rear end of the cylinder 400, and an air outlet 613 is provided on the periphery of the cylinder 400. Therefore, in the clothing processing equipment provided by this disclosure, the drying airflow delivered by the drying module 800 enters from the rear end of the cylinder 400. After the drying airflow enters the cylinder and is dried, the resulting humid airflow is discharged from the periphery of the cylinder. Therefore, the air inlet 612 of the cylinder 400 is not affected by the inlet, and the opening size of the air inlet is sufficient to ensure the airflow volume of the drying airflow entering the cylinder, thereby ensuring the drying effect on the clothes inside the cylinder 400 and improving the drying efficiency of the clothing processing equipment.

[0199] Referring to Figure 34, in some embodiments, in order to ensure the drying effect, the drum 400 is provided with an exhaust port 420. The exhaust port 420 is closer to the inlet 410 than the air inlet 612, which can extend the flow path of the drying airflow in the drum 400 as much as possible and improve the drying effect of clothes.

[0200] Referring to Figure 35, the garment processing equipment includes a controller 1100, which is connected to the second drive unit 630 of the two cylinders 400 and the airflow distribution device 600 respectively, so as to control the valve plate 620 of the two cylinders 400 and the airflow distribution device 600 to perform corresponding actions, as follows.

[0201] According to the washing program selected by the user, when the controller 1100 confirms that both drums 400 are executing the drying program, the control valve plate 620 is rotated to the middle position, that is, the valve plate 620 is in a vertical state, both air ducts 614 in the valve cavity 611 are opened, and the airflow distribution device 600 is in the first working state, so that the drying module 800 is connected to the two drums 400, and the drying airflow generated by the drying module 800 is delivered to the two drums 400; when one drum 400 is executing the drying program, the control valve plate 620 is rotated, so that the valve plate 620 is offset and abuts against the side wall of the valve cavity 611, blocking the air duct 614 connected to the drum 400 that is not executing the drying program, and the airflow distribution device 600 is in the second working state, and the drying airflow generated by the drying module 800 is delivered to the drum 400 executing the drying program. When neither of the two cylinders 400 is executing the drying program, the drying module 800 can be stopped from working, and the drying module 800 will not generate a drying airflow.

[0202] Referring to Figure 35, according to an embodiment of this disclosure, the garment processing equipment further includes a temperature sensor 1200. The temperature sensor 1200 is correspondingly disposed with the drum 400 to detect and acquire the real-time temperature inside the corresponding drum 400. The temperature sensor 1200 is connected to the controller 1100. The temperature sensor 1200 acquires the real-time temperature inside the corresponding drum 400 and sends the real-time temperature inside the drum 400 to the controller 1100. The controller 1100 controls the valve plate 620 to rotate according to the received real-time temperature inside the drum 400, adjusting the opening of the air duct 614 to input different amounts of drying airflow into the drum 400 that is uniformly executing the drying program, so as to ensure the temperature inside the drum 400 and improve the drying efficiency. The temperature sensor 1200 is disposed at the air outlet 613 of the second valve seat 610, or the temperature sensor 1200 is disposed inside the corresponding drum 400. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0203] In specific implementation: When both drums 400 are executing the drying program, the controller 1100 obtains the real-time temperature inside each drum 400 through the temperature sensor 1200 corresponding to each drum 400; the controller 1100 determines whether the real-time temperature of each drum 400 is lower than the set temperature; when the real-time temperature of one drum 400 is lower than the set temperature, the controller controls the valve core to rotate until the opening of the air inlet 612 connected to the lower-temperature drum 400 increases, so that the real-time temperature inside that drum 400 rises to the set temperature, ensuring the efficiency of drying clothes in that drum 400; when the real-time temperatures of both drums 400 are lower than the set temperature, the controller controls the drying module 800 to increase its power, and the drying module 800 delivers a higher-temperature drying airflow to both drums 400, so that the real-time temperature inside both drums 400 rises to the set temperature, ensuring the efficiency of drying clothes in both drums 400.

[0204] In summary, the airflow distribution device 600 and the garment processing equipment provided in this disclosure can solve the airflow distribution of the drying module 800 to adapt to the operating conditions of the two drums 400 of the garment processing equipment, and can adapt to and adjust the real-time temperature changes of the two drums 400, which has great practical value.

[0205] During the use of garment processing equipment, the equipment will vibrate during operation. If the vibration is too large, it will cause the equipment to shift, which will not only damage the equipment itself, but also damage the installation environment where the equipment is located, and even cause safety hazards.

[0206] The reason for this is that the drums in garment processing equipment are mostly roller structures, which are rotatable via a drive unit. The drive unit, as the driving source for the drum, drives the drum to rotate synchronously when it is in operation, thereby completing the preset garment processing program. However, if the drive unit rotates too fast, it will cause vibration in the garment processing equipment. The drive unit also needs a certain rotational speed to complete the garment processing program required by the equipment.

[0207] While vibrations caused by the drive components at normal rotation speeds are acceptable for garment processing equipment, excessively high drive speeds can lead to several issues. Firstly, the excessive rotation of the drum can cause it to shift, potentially resulting in collisions with the equipment's casing and other components during prolonged use, causing damage. Secondly, it could cause the garment processing equipment to displace. If the equipment is of a certain height, a fall from its installation location could damage not only the equipment itself but also the surrounding environment, potentially creating safety hazards.

[0208] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a garment processing device and its control method, which aims to at least partially solve the technical problems of equipment displacement due to vibration, damage to the equipment itself and the installation environment, and the resulting safety hazards.

[0209] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the design concept of this disclosure is: during equipment operation, the displacement of the equipment is acquired, and the rotation speed of the drive component is controlled according to the acquired equipment displacement to adjust the rotation speed of the cylinder, thereby adjusting the current displacement of the equipment, so as to improve the displacement phenomenon caused by vibration, protect the equipment body and the installation environment in which the equipment is located, and improve safety.

[0210] As shown in Figure 36, the garment processing equipment 10 includes a protective cover 1300 and a base 700, with the protective cover 1300 covering the base 700. The protective cover 1300 covers the top surface of the base 700 and the internal components on the top surface of the base 700 to protect the appearance of the equipment.

[0211] As shown in Figures 37 and 38, the garment processing device 10 also includes a body, which is mounted on a base 700 and housed within a protective cover 1300. The body includes a drum 400 and a third drive unit 430. The drum 400 is used to hold garments, and a loading port 410 is provided on the front side of the drum 400. Users can load or unload garments into or from the drum 400 through the loading port 410. An openable door 450 is also provided on the front side of the body to open and close the loading port 410. The third drive unit 430 is located on the rear side of the drum 400 to drive the inner drum of the drum 400 to rotate and execute the programs required by the garment processing device, such as a spin-drying program or a washing program. It is understood that the door 450 may also be coupled to the protective cover 1300 instead of the body, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0212] Referring to Figures 37 and 38, in one embodiment, two or more drum bodies 400 are provided, and each drum body 400 is respectively equipped with a third driving member 430 to drive the corresponding drum body 400 to rotate and execute the washing program required by the garment handling equipment. The central axes of the two or more drum bodies 400 are arranged side by side or intersecting. When the garment handling equipment includes two drum bodies 400, the two drum bodies 400 are respectively defined as a first drum body 490 and a second drum body 4100. In another embodiment, only one drum body 400 may be provided, and this drum body 400 is also equipped with a third driving member 430 to drive the drum body 400 to rotate and execute the washing program required by the garment handling equipment.

[0213] Referring to Figures 37 and 38, two adjacent cylinders 400 can be connected by a connecting mechanism 460 to form a whole, thereby reducing the vibration of the cylinders 400 to a certain extent. In one embodiment, the connecting mechanism 460 can reuse the drying module that performs the drying process, or it can be other types of connecting mechanisms, such as a block structure connected between two adjacent cylinders 400, etc., which are not limited in this disclosure.

[0214] Referring to Figures 37 and 38, the base 700 of the garment processing equipment is the carrier of the garment processing equipment. The main body is assembled on the top of the base 700. The bottom surface of the base 700 is at least partially flat to facilitate the placement of the garment processing equipment in the usage environment.

[0215] Referring to Figures 37 and 38, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a counterweight 1400 may also be provided on the top of the base 700. The counterweight 1400 may be extended on the top of the base 700 to increase the weight of the base 700 and the entire device, thereby improving the vibration displacement of the device.

[0216] Referring to Figures 39 and 40, in another embodiment, the garment processing device differs from the garment processing device in the following way: in this embodiment, multiple cylinders 400 are stacked from top to bottom, adjacent cylinders 400 are rigidly connected, and the lower cylinder 400 is rigidly connected to the base 700. Furthermore, when the multiple cylinders 400 are stacked from top to bottom, the axes of all cylinders 400 are inclined relative to the base.

[0217] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the base 700 and the body 400 of the garment processing equipment are rigidly connected. When the equipment is displaced due to vibration, the base 700 and the body vibrate synchronously. The specific details of the rigid connection between the base 700 and the body 400 are now further described with reference to Figures 41-44.

[0218] Referring to Figures 41 and 42, in one embodiment, a support member 710 is provided at the top of the base 700, and a third connector 470 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder 400. The third connector 470 and the support member 710 are rigidly connected in a detachable manner by screws or other components to achieve a rigid connection between the base 700 and the cylinder 400. In another embodiment, the third connector 470 and the support member 710 can also be integrally formed, or the third connector 470 and the support member 710 can be fixedly connected by welding or other methods to achieve a rigid connection between the third connector 470 and the support member 710.

[0219] Referring to Figures 41 and 42, in one embodiment, multiple support members 710 are spaced apart on the top of the base 700, and multiple third connecting members 470 are spaced apart on the bottom of the cylinder 400. The third connecting members 470 and support members 710 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, with each third connecting member 470 rigidly connected to its corresponding support member 710. This allows the support member 710 to support and fix the corresponding third connecting member 470, thus securing the cylinder 400 and base 700 together, and consequently, the machine body and base 700 to a rigid, fixed connection, causing them to vibrate synchronously. In another embodiment, two or more third connecting members 470 correspond to the same support member 710, with each third connecting member 470 rigidly connected to its corresponding support member 710. This allows one support member 710 to support multiple third connecting members 470, again securing the cylinder 400 and base 700 together, and causing them to vibrate synchronously.

[0220] Referring to Figures 41 and 42, if there are two or more cylinders 400 spaced apart, two rows of support members 710 are respectively arranged on both sides of the base 700 along its length, and a row of support members 710 is also arranged in the middle of the base 700. Each body has two rows of third connecting members 470 at its bottom. Each row of support members 710 includes at least two support members 710. The number of support members 710 in each row can be the same or different. The third connecting members 470 and the corresponding support members 710 are rigidly connected to ensure that the body including the cylinder 400 can be stably assembled onto the base 700. If there is only one cylinder 400, two rows of support members 710 are respectively arranged on both sides of the base 700 along its length, rigidly connected to the third connecting members 470 at the bottom of the cylinder 400, so that the body including the cylinder 400 can be stably assembled onto the base 700.

[0221] Referring to Figure 41, in one embodiment, the support member 710 can be a square structure or a columnar structure. The support member 710 can be integrally formed on the top of the base 700 to ensure the connection strength between the support member 710 and the base 700. In another embodiment, the support member 710 can also be fixedly connected to the top of the base 700 by means of screws or welding.

[0222] Referring to Figure 42, in one embodiment, the third connector 470 can also be a square or columnar structure. The tops of the third connectors 470 located in the same column can be connected by a connecting part 480. The third connector 470 and the connecting part 480 can be integrally formed. The periphery of the cylinder 400 can be connected to the top surface of the connecting part 480 by screws or other components or integrally formed. In another embodiment, the periphery of the cylinder 400 can also be directly connected to the tops of the two third connectors 470 located in the same column.

[0223] Referring to Figures 43 and 44, according to one embodiment of this disclosure, the top of the support member 710 is provided with a support recess 720, and the bottom of the third connector 470 is fitted into the support recess 720 and supported by the bottom of the support recess 720. The bottom of the support recess 720 and the bottom of the third connector 470 are rigidly connected by screws or other components, so that the support member 710 and the third connector 470 are rigidly connected. To prevent rotation between the third connector 470 and the support recess 720, the cross-sections of the support protrusion 730 and the connecting recess 471 can be non-circular. In some embodiments, the cross-sections of the support protrusion 730 and the connecting recess 471 can be oval or square, etc.

[0224] Referring to Figures 43 and 44, in one embodiment, at least a portion of the periphery of the supporting protrusion 730 and the sidewall of the supporting recess have a gap. The periphery of the supporting protrusion 730 and the sidewall of the supporting recess are connected by a supporting rib 740. The supporting protrusion 730 is located at the center of the supporting recess 720, that is, the supporting protrusion 730 and the supporting recess 720 are coaxially arranged. The supporting rib 740 is arranged in a cross shape between the supporting protrusion 730 and the supporting recess 720. The supporting rib 740 can be integrally formed with the supporting protrusion 730 and the supporting member 710 to ensure the supporting strength of the supporting rib 740. The top of the supporting rib 740 is lower than the top of the supporting protrusion 730. The bottom of the third connector 470 can be supported by the supporting rib 740 to reduce the depth of the connecting recess 471 at the bottom of the third connector 470 and improve the strength of the third connector 470. In another embodiment, the supporting rib 740 may not be provided between the periphery of the supporting protrusion 730 and the sidewall of the supporting recess, and the bottom of the third connector 470 may abut against the bottom of the supporting recess 720 so that the third connector 470 can be directly supported by the bottom of the supporting recess 720.

[0225] Referring to Figure 45, according to one embodiment of this disclosure, in order to reduce displacement and noise caused by vibration during the operation of the garment processing equipment, a first shock absorber 1500 may be provided between the support member 710 and the third connecting member 470. The first shock absorber 1500 has a certain degree of elasticity. In some embodiments, the first shock absorber 1500 may be made of soft rubber to accommodate the slight deformation caused by vibration between the cylinder 400 and the base 700, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude and lowering the noise generated when the two parts come into contact.

[0226] Referring to Figure 45, the first damping component 1500 includes a first pad 1510, which is disposed on the periphery of the support protrusion 730 and abuts against the bottom of the third connector 470, so that the support rib 740 and the bottom of the third connector 470 are in elastic contact, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the bottom of the third connector 470 and the support rib 740 to a certain extent and reducing noise.

[0227] Referring to Figure 45, the first damping member 1500 also includes a second pad 1520. The second pad 1520 is wrapped around the periphery of the first pad 1510. The second pad 1520 is disposed between the side wall of the supporting recess 720 and the periphery of the bottom of the third connector 470, so that the side wall of the supporting recess 720 and the periphery of the bottom of the third connector 470 are in elastic contact, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the bottom of the third connector 470 and the supporting stiffener 740 and reducing noise.

[0228] Referring to Figure 46, at least a portion of the bottom surface of the base 700 is further provided with a second shock absorber 1600, at least a portion of which is elastic. In some embodiments, the second shock absorber 1600 may be made of soft rubber to prevent the equipment from moving in the installation position to a certain extent, reduce the vibration amplitude of the equipment, and reduce noise.

[0229] Referring to Figure 46, in one embodiment, a support rib 740 is provided on the bottom surface of the base 700. The second shock absorber 1600 is embedded in the support rib 740 and connected to the bottom of the base 700 by screws or other components. At least a portion of the second shock absorber 1600 protrudes from the support rib 740 to elastically contact the mounting position. In another embodiment, the second shock absorber 1600 can also be bonded to the bottom surface of the base 700; or, the second shock absorber 1600 can be bonded to the bottom surface of the base 700 and then fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base 700 with screws, to further improve the reliability of the assembly of the second shock absorber 1600 on the bottom surface of the base 700.

[0230] Referring to Figure 46, in one embodiment, the second damping member 1600 is at least connected to the periphery of the bottom surface of the base 700 to ensure that the bottom of the base 700 has sufficient elastic contact with the mounting position, thereby ensuring the technical effect of reducing the vibration amplitude and noise of the equipment. In another embodiment, the second damping member 1600 may also be provided in the middle of the bottom surface of the base 700, or the second damping member 1600 may be provided in both the middle and periphery of the bottom surface of the base 700.

[0231] Referring to Figure 47, in one embodiment, the second damping member 1600 may include multiple spaced-apart individual structures 1620. For example, the second damping member 1600 may include two or more individual structures 1620. The individual structures 1620 may be in a straight line or a U-shape. When the individual structures 1620 are in a straight line, two or more individual structures 1620 are spaced apart along the length or width direction of the base 700 at the bottom of the base 700, ensuring that individual structures 1620 are arranged on both sides of the bottom of the base 700 in the length and / or width direction. When the individual structures 1620 are in a U-shape, two individual structures 1620 are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the bottom of the base 700 in the length or width direction, with the openings of the two individual structures 1620 facing each other. In another embodiment, the second damping member 1600 may also be an integral structure. For example, the second damping member 1600 may be a ring-shaped structure that matches the shape of the base 700, and it is arranged around the bottom periphery of the base 700.

[0232] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, when the second shock absorber 1600 includes two individual structures 1620, the two individual structures 1620 are arranged along the length direction of the base 700 at the bottom of the base 700. Compared with the technical solution where the two individual structures 1620 are arranged along the width direction of the base 700 at the bottom of the base 700, the second shock absorber 1600 has a larger contact area with the installation position, which can better reduce the vibration amplitude and noise of the equipment.

[0233] Referring to Figure 47, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, at least a portion of the bottom surface of the second shock absorber 1600 is provided with elastic protrusions 1610. The elastic protrusions 1610 can be arranged in a grid shape, which can make the base 700 elastically contact the installation position, and can also increase the friction between the base 700 and the installation position, further preventing the equipment from being displaced due to vibration at the installation position and reducing the vibration amplitude of the equipment.

[0234] The garment processing equipment disclosed herein improves the vibration amplitude and noise level of the equipment by using a first shock absorber 1500 and / or a second shock absorber 1600 at the bottom of the base 700, which are provided between the body and the base 700. For some small garment processing equipment, some mechanical shock absorbers, such as traditional hanging springs and damping shock absorbers, can be eliminated to reduce the manufacturing cost of the equipment to a certain extent, making it highly practical.

[0235] Since the body of the garment processing equipment is rigidly connected to the base 700, in one embodiment, the motion sensor 300 for acquiring the current displacement of the garment processing equipment can be mounted on the base 700, that is, the displacement of the equipment is acquired by detecting the displacement of the base 700. In another embodiment, the motion sensor 300 can also be mounted on the body, for example: the motion sensor 300 is mounted on the cylinder 400 of the body, or the motion sensor 300 is mounted on the connecting mechanism 460 between two adjacent cylinders 400, that is, the displacement of the equipment is acquired by detecting the displacement of the body.

[0236] In one embodiment, the motion sensor 300 may be arranged on the top of the base 700 and positioned at the rear of a certain cylinder 400 (as shown in FIG. 38). In another embodiment, the motion sensor 300 may also be arranged between adjacent cylinders 400, or at the front of a certain cylinder 400.

[0237] Referring to Figure 48, during equipment operation, the motion sensor 300 is coupled to the processor 440. The motion sensor 300 can detect the coordinate information of the equipment (including horizontal and vertical coordinates) in real time and transmit the coordinate information to the processor 440. The processor 440 receives and processes the acquired coordinate information of the equipment to obtain the displacement of the equipment. It then compares the displacement with the preset displacement stored in the processor 440. Based on the comparison result, it controls the rotation speed of the third drive component 430 that drives the cylinder 400 to adjust the rotation speed of the cylinder 400, thereby adjusting the displacement of the equipment. This prevents the equipment from shifting due to vibration, protects the equipment body and the installation environment, and improves safety.

[0238] In one embodiment, the motion sensor 300 can be an optical mouse sensor, which is arranged on the top of the base 700 and connected to the processor 440 disposed in the body via a wire, so as to transmit the current displacement of the device acquired by the optical mouse sensor to the processor 440 in real time. In another embodiment, the motion sensor 300 can also be a gyroscope sensor, or other sensors capable of acquiring the current displacement of the device, without limitation.

[0239] In one embodiment, when only the first cylinder 490 of the device is running, during the operation of the device, the processor 440 controls the rotation speed of the third drive unit 430 that drives the first cylinder 490 to rotate based on the current displacement of the device, so as to adjust the rotation speed of the first cylinder 490 in the running state, and then adjust the current displacement of the device, so as to avoid the device from shifting due to vibration, thereby protecting the device body and the installation environment in which the device is located and improving safety.

[0240] In the second embodiment, when the first cylinder 490 and the second cylinder 4100 of the equipment operate asynchronously, if the equipment displacement exceeds a preset displacement, the processor 440 controls the cylinder with the higher rotational speed to slow down or stop operating. This adjusts the current displacement of the equipment, preventing displacement due to vibration, thus protecting the equipment itself and its installation environment and improving safety. It should be noted that asynchronous operation of the first cylinder 490 and the second cylinder 4100 means that the first cylinder 490 starts operating before the second cylinder 4100, and the second cylinder 4100 starts while the first cylinder 490 is operating.

[0241] In the third embodiment, when the first drum 490 and the second drum 4100 of the device operate synchronously, if the device displacement exceeds a preset displacement, the processor 440 controls the first drum 490 and the second drum 4100 to slow down or stop operating to adjust the current displacement of the device, preventing displacement due to vibration, thus protecting the device body and its installation environment and improving safety. It should be noted that synchronous operation of the first drum 490 and the second drum 4100 means that the first drum 490 and the second drum 4100 start simultaneously and have the same operating program, which can be a washing program or a spin-drying program, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0242] In the third embodiment, the garment processing device further includes: a processor 440 determining whether the first tubing 490 and the second tubing 4100 have stopped operating; and when the first tubing 490 and the second tubing 4100 have stopped operating, the processor 440 controls the first tubing 490 to rotate to asynchronous operation with the second tubing 4100 according to the operating program executed by the first tubing 490 and the second tubing 4100, wherein the operating program sets the rotational speed of the first tubing 490 to be greater than the rotational speed of the second tubing 4100 to prevent the device from shifting due to vibration, thereby protecting the device body and the installation environment in which the device is located and improving safety.

[0243] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of this disclosure, the method for setting the preset speed of the garment processing device's drum is as follows: when the device displacement is greater than a preset displacement, the processor 440 controls the third drive unit 430 to drive the first drum 490 to decelerate; when the device displacement is not greater than the preset displacement, the processor 440 controls the third drive unit 430 to drive the first drum 490 to accelerate; and when the number of times the first drum 490 continuously accelerates and decelerates reaches a preset value, the processor 440 uses the rotational speed of the first drum 490 as the preset speed.

[0244] For details on the control of the garment processing equipment described above, please refer to the following description, which will not be repeated here.

[0245] Based on the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, this disclosure also provides a control method for the garment processing equipment to improve the displacement phenomenon caused by vibration, protect the equipment itself and the installation environment in which the equipment is located, and improve safety.

[0246] Referring to Figure 49, the control method for this garment processing equipment includes:

[0247] The motion sensor 300 acquires the device displacement and sends the device displacement to the processor 440;

[0248] The processor 440 determines whether the device displacement is greater than the preset displacement of the clothing processing device;

[0249] When the device displacement is not greater than the preset displacement, the processor 440 controls the first cylinder 490 to run at the preset speed as the upper limit; and

[0250] When the equipment displacement is greater than the preset displacement, the processor 440 controls the first cylinder 490 to slow down or stop running until the equipment displacement is no greater than the preset displacement.

[0251] The control method provided in this disclosure involves a motion sensor 300 detecting the displacement of the equipment during operation and sending the detected displacement to a processor 440. The processor 440 controls the rotation speed of the third drive component 430 based on the equipment displacement to control the rotation speed of the cylinder 400, thereby adjusting the equipment displacement. This helps to prevent the equipment from shifting due to vibration to a certain extent, thus protecting the equipment body and the installation environment and improving safety.

[0252] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, acquiring the device displacement of the garment processing device by the motion sensor 300 and sending the device displacement to the processor 440 specifically includes: the motion sensor 300 detecting the current coordinate information (including horizontal and vertical coordinates) of the device in real time; the processor 440 receiving the current coordinate information (including horizontal and vertical coordinates) of the device acquired by the motion sensor 300 in real time; and the processor 440 processing the acquired current coordinate information of the device to obtain the device displacement, wherein the device displacement includes the current coordinate information (including horizontal and vertical coordinates) of the device.

[0253] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, determining whether the device displacement is greater than the preset displacement of the clothing processing device by the processor 440 specifically includes: the processor 440 stores the preset displacement of the clothing processing device, which can be the preset coordinate information of the device (including horizontal coordinate and vertical coordinate); the processor 440 compares the preset coordinate information of the clothing processing device with the current coordinate information of the device; if at least one of the current horizontal coordinate and vertical coordinate of the device is greater than the set horizontal coordinate and vertical coordinate of the device, then it is determined that the current displacement of the device is greater than the preset displacement of the device; only when the current horizontal coordinate of the device is less than or equal to the set horizontal coordinate of the device, and the current vertical coordinate of the device is less than or equal to the set vertical coordinate of the device, is it determined that the current displacement of the device is less than or equal to the preset displacement of the device.

[0254] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, when the device displacement is not greater than a preset displacement, the processor 440 controls the first cylinder 490 to run at a preset speed as the upper limit. Specifically, if it is determined that the device displacement is less than or equal to the device's preset displacement, it means that the device has not exceeded the set displacement. Then, the third driving member 430 that controls the rotation of the cylinder 400 continues to run at a preset speed as the upper limit.

[0255] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, when the device displacement is greater than a preset displacement, the processor 440 controls the first cylinder 490 to slow down or stop operating until the device displacement is no greater than the preset displacement. Specifically, this includes: if it is determined that the current displacement of the device is greater than the preset displacement, it means that the device has exceeded or is about to exceed the preset displacement, and the rotation speed of the first cylinder 490 needs to be reduced; if it is determined that the device displacement is still greater than the preset displacement during the deceleration process of the first cylinder 490, the third drive unit 430 is controlled to continue to reduce the rotation speed until it stops operating, so as to avoid the device from shifting due to vibration, protect the device itself and the installation environment where the device is located, and improve safety; if it is determined that the current displacement of the device is less than the preset displacement during the deceleration process of the third drive unit 430, the third drive unit 430 is controlled to continue operating at a preset speed as the upper limit.

[0256] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, the setting of the preset speed specifically includes: when the device displacement is greater than a preset displacement, the processor 440 controls the third drive unit 430 to drive the first cylinder 490 to decelerate; when the device displacement is not greater than the preset displacement, the processor 440 controls the third drive unit 430 to drive the first cylinder 490 to accelerate; and when the number of consecutive accelerations and decelerations of the first cylinder 490 reaches a preset value, the processor 440 uses the rotational speed of the first cylinder 490 as the preset speed. As can be seen from the above, controlling the deceleration and acceleration of the first cylinder 490 is performed continuously at intervals. For example, in the first cycle, the first cylinder 490 is controlled to decelerate, recorded as the first control count; in the second cycle, the first cylinder 490 is controlled to accelerate, recorded as the second control count; in the third cycle, the first cylinder 490 is controlled to decelerate, recorded as the third control count... until the number of control counts reaches the set value. The rotational speed of the first cylinder 490 is then the preset speed. Therefore, the preset speed is an instantaneous speed to adapt to the operating program of the device. It should be noted that the set value can be 5, 7, 10, etc., and should be set accordingly based on different running programs to adapt to the running program of the device.

[0257] The control method for the garment processing equipment provided in this disclosure is applicable to the condition where the garment processing equipment includes only one drum 400, and also applicable to the condition where the garment processing equipment includes two or more drums 400. In the case where the garment processing equipment includes two or more drums 400, there are three scenarios: only one drum 400 starts, two or more drums 400 start asynchronously, and two or more drums 400 start synchronously. The specific control methods for these three scenarios are further described below.

[0258] When the garment processing equipment includes two or more drums 400, and only one drum 400 is in operation, since the other drums 400 are fixed relative to the base 700, it is consistent with the condition where the garment processing equipment includes only one drum 400. Therefore, the above control method can be used to control the garment processing equipment with two or more drums 400, but only one drum 400 is in operation. The specific control method will not be elaborated.

[0259] In a garment processing device comprising two or more drums 400, where the two or more drums 400 include at least a first drum 490 and a second drum 4100, the first drum 490 and the second drum 4100 operate asynchronously. That is, while the first drum 490 is running, the second drum 4100 starts, and both the first drum 490 and the second drum 4100 are running for a certain period of time thereafter. Under this condition, when the device displacement exceeds a preset displacement, the processor 440 controls the drum 490 and the second drum 4100 with the higher rotational speed to slow down or stop operating. The reason is as follows: If the equipment displacement is determined to be greater than the preset displacement, it means that the equipment has exceeded or is about to exceed the preset displacement, and the rotation speed of the cylinder 400 needs to be reduced. Since the cylinder 400 with a higher rotation speed is more likely to cause equipment vibration and displacement, the third drive component 430 of the cylinder 400 with a higher rotation speed needs to be controlled to reduce its rotation speed, so as to reduce the speed of the cylinder 400 with a higher speed, in order to prevent the equipment from exceeding the preset displacement. During the process of reducing the rotation speed, the rotation speed of the cylinder 400 changes, which may cause the rotation speed of the other cylinder 400 to be higher. Therefore, during the process of reducing the rotation speed, it may be necessary to switch to controlling the third drive component 430 of the other cylinder 400 with a higher rotation speed to reduce its rotation speed. If, during the process of reducing the speed of the third drive component 430, it is determined that the current displacement of the equipment is still greater than the preset displacement of the equipment, the third drive component 430 is controlled to continue reducing the speed until it stops running. Correspondingly, the cylinder 400 also continues to reduce the speed until it stops running, so as to avoid the equipment from shifting due to vibration, protect the equipment itself and the installation environment where the equipment is located, and improve safety. If, during the process of reducing the speed of the third drive component 430, it is determined that the current displacement of the equipment is less than the preset displacement of the equipment, the third drive component 430 is controlled to continue running at the preset speed as the upper limit.

[0260] In the case of two or more drums 400 in a garment processing device, the two or more drums 400 include at least a first drum 490 and a second drum 4100. The first drum 490 and the second drum 4100 start synchronously and have the same washing or spin-drying program. In this case, in this control method, when the device displacement is greater than a preset displacement, the processor 440 controls the third drive unit 430 to drive the first drum 490 and the second drum 4100 to reduce speed or stop operation. The reason is that if the device displacement is determined to be greater than the preset displacement, it means that the device has exceeded or is about to exceed the preset displacement, and it is necessary to reduce the speed of the third drive unit 430. If two or more drums 400 are in the same operating program and the two or more drums 400 have the same speed, in order to avoid vibration and displacement of the device, it is necessary to control the two or more drums 400 to reduce their speed simultaneously. If, during the process of reducing the speed of the third drive component 430, it is determined that the current displacement of the equipment is still greater than the preset displacement of the equipment, the third drive component 430 is controlled to continue reducing the speed until it stops running, so as to avoid the equipment from shifting due to vibration, protect the equipment itself and the installation environment where the equipment is located, and improve safety; if, during the process of reducing the speed of the third drive component 430, it is determined that the current displacement of the equipment is less than the preset displacement of the equipment, the third drive component 430 is controlled to continue running at the preset speed as the upper limit.

[0261] In the case of two or more drums 400 of a garment processing device operating synchronously, the control method further includes:

[0262] The processor 440 determines whether the first drum 490 and the second drum 4100 have stopped operating. When the first drum 490 and the second drum 4100 have stopped operating, the processor 440 controls the first drum 490 to rotate asynchronously with the second drum 4100 according to the operating program executed by the first drum 490 and the second drum 4100. The operating program sets the rotational speed of the first drum 490 to be greater than that of the second drum 4100. This is because if the equipment is still in a program related to the drum 400, such as a spin-drying or washing program, and it needs to restart the drum 400, the rotational speed of the drum 400 affects the vibration and displacement of the equipment. Therefore, the drum 400 with the higher rotational speed needs to be started first. If the higher-speed drum 400 does not cause a current displacement greater than the preset displacement during its operation, then the lower-speed drum 400 is started to avoid displacement of the equipment due to vibration. When two or more cylinders 400 operate sequentially, an asynchronous operation of the two cylinders 400 is formed. Therefore, the operation of the garment processing equipment can be controlled according to the control method under the asynchronous operation of the two cylinders 400 to avoid equipment displacement due to vibration. This will not be elaborated here.

[0263] Based on the control method of the above-described garment processing equipment, this disclosure also provides a storage medium storing a computer program thereon, which, when executed by the processor 440, implements the control method of the garment processing equipment as described above.

[0264] To achieve the aforementioned technical effects, the garment processing equipment provided in this disclosure includes a body, a base 700, and a motion sensor 300. The body is mounted on the base 700 and includes a drum 400, a third drive component 430, and a processor 440. The processor 440 is electrically connected to the third drive component 430 and sends commands to the third drive component 430, which drives the drum 400 to rotate at a preset speed to complete a preset garment processing program. The motion sensor 300 is connected to both the processor 440 and the third drive component 430. The motion sensor 300 detects the displacement of the garment processing equipment. Based on the displacement of the garment processing equipment, the processor 440 controls the rotational speed of the third drive component 430 to adjust the corresponding rotational speed of the drum 400, thereby adjusting the equipment displacement. This helps to prevent the equipment from shifting due to vibration, protecting the equipment itself and its installation environment, and improving safety.

[0265] The clothing processing equipment disclosed herein can be a washing machine, spin dryer, or dryer, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0266] In some implementations, the clothing handling device can be a washing machine. Please refer to Figures 50 and 51. The washing machine can be a single-tub washing machine, or please refer to Figures 52 and 53. The washing machine can be a twin-tub washing machine. Of course, the washing machine can also be a multi-tub washing machine, which is not limited here.

[0267] The garment processing equipment includes a protective cover 1300 and a cylinder 400. The cylinder 400 is installed inside and connected to the protective cover 1300. The cylinder 400 has a storage space 4200 with a loading port 410, where garments can be placed. The protective cover 1300 has a door 450 for opening or closing the loading port 410, which facilitates the opening or closing of the loading port 410 and thus makes it easier to take out and put in garments. A second seal 1700 is used to seal between the door 450 and the cylinder 400, thereby ensuring the airtightness of the storage space 4200 when the garment processing equipment is working.

[0268] In related technologies, the garment container is movably installed on the outer shell. When the garment handling equipment is working, the garment container vibrates relative to the outer shell. The second seal has multiple folds to accommodate the vibration of the garment container. However, foreign objects such as lint and hair often remain in the folds of the second seal, requiring frequent cleaning and increasing maintenance and cleaning costs.

[0269] In response, this disclosure presents a garment processing device.

[0270] Please refer to Figure 54. The garment processing equipment includes a protective cover 1300, a cylinder 400, and a second seal 1700.

[0271] The cylinder 400 is fixedly connected to the protective cover 1300. The cylinder 400 has a storage space 4200 with a dispensing port 410. The protective cover 1300 has a door 450 for opening or closing the dispensing port 410. The second sealing member 1700 is connected to the protective cover 1300 and is adapted to abut against the door 450. When the door 450 closes the dispensing port 410, the sealing surface 1720 of the second sealing member 1700 is used to seal the gap between the edge of the door 450 and the dispensing port 410. The sealing surface 1720 is a plane.

[0272] Therefore, when the door 450 closes the delivery port 410, the sealing surface 1720 of the second seal 1700 is used to seal the gap between the edge of the door 450 and the delivery port 410 to improve the sealing performance of the storage space 4200. At the same time, the sealing surface 1720 is flat, which helps to reduce the hiding of foreign objects and makes the structure of the sealing surface 1720 simpler, reducing the maintenance and cleaning costs of the second seal 1700.

[0273] For example, as shown in Figures 53-54, the drum 400 can be a washing tub and is installed inside the protective cover 1300. The drum 400 and the protective cover 1300 are fixedly connected. It can be understood that the overall volume of the clothing processing equipment disclosed herein is relatively small, and the drum 400 is also relatively small. When the clothing processing equipment is working, the vibration of the drum 400 relative to the protective cover 1300 is also relatively small. Therefore, the drum 400 and the protective cover 1300 can be fixedly connected to reduce the vibration of the drum 400.

[0274] The cylinder 400 is provided with a storage space 4200 having a dispensing port 410. The storage space 4200 is used to store clothing, and the clothing can be taken out and put in through the dispensing port 410. The protective cover 1300 is provided with a door 450, which is movably installed on the protective cover 1300 so as to open or close the dispensing port 410 using the door 450. The second sealing member 1700 is connected to the protective cover 1300 and is adapted to abut against the door 450 when the dispensing port 410 is closed, so as to achieve a seal between the door 450 and the dispensing port 410, thereby ensuring the airtightness of the storage space 4200.

[0275] It is understood that the second seal 1700 can be made of silicone, rubber or other structures that can achieve a seal, and no limitation is made here.

[0276] Referring to Figure 55, when the door 450 closes the dispensing port 410, the sealing surface 1720 of the second seal 1700 is used to seal the gap between the edge of the door 450 and the dispensing port 410, thereby ensuring the airtightness of the storage space 4200.

[0277] Referring to Figures 55 and 56, the sealing surface 1720 is planar. It is understood that when the cylinder 400 is fixedly connected to the protective cover 1300, the vibration amplitude of the cylinder 400 when it vibrates and causes the door 450 to vibrate is relatively small, and the deformation of the second seal 1700 is also relatively small. Therefore, this disclosure sets the sealing surface 1720 as planar. Compared to the design of the second seal 1700 with multiple folds, the second seal 1700 of this disclosure can seal the gap between the edge of the door 450 and the delivery port 410 while reducing the concealment of foreign objects, and makes the structure of the sealing surface 1720 simpler, reducing the maintenance and cleaning costs of the second seal 1700.

[0278] According to the clothing processing device of the present disclosure, the cylinder 400 is fixedly connected to the protective cover 1300, which can reduce the vibration of the cylinder 400. When the door 450 closes the delivery port 410, the sealing surface 1720 of the second seal 1700 is used to seal the gap between the edge of the door 450 and the delivery port 410 to improve the sealing performance of the storage space 4200. At the same time, the sealing surface 1720 is flat, which helps to reduce the hiding of foreign objects and makes the structure of the sealing surface 1720 relatively simple, reducing the maintenance and cleaning costs of the second seal 1700.

[0279] In some embodiments, referring to FIG55, the sealing surface 1720 extends toward the center of the inlet 410.

[0280] It is understandable that the sealing surface 1720 can extend radially toward the center of the dispensing port 410. This increases the area of ​​the sealing surface 1720 in the radial direction of the dispensing port 410, thereby improving the sealing effect. At the same time, the extension direction of the sealing surface 1720 will not occupy the axial space of the storage space 4200, which is conducive to reducing the axial size of the storage space 4200.

[0281] In some implementations, the sealing surface 1720 extends toward the center of the dispensing port 410 in the following ways: the sealing surface 1720 extends radially toward the center of the dispensing port 410, or the sealing surface 1720 extends in a direction inclined to the radial direction of the dispensing port 410 toward the center of the dispensing port 410. Both can achieve the above effect, and no limitation is made here.

[0282] In some embodiments, referring to FIG55, when the door 450 closes the dispensing port 410, at least a portion of the sealing surface 1720 abuts against the door 450. This facilitates a better sealing effect of the door 450 on the dispensing port 410.

[0283] For example, at least a portion of the sealing surface 1720 can form a surface-to-surface fit with the door body 450, which facilitates increasing the contact area between the sealing surface 1720 and the door body 450, thereby improving the sealing performance.

[0284] In some embodiments, the second seal 1700 is snap-fitted to the protective cover 1300. This facilitates the connection stability between the second seal 1700 and the protective cover 1300, and makes it easier to install and remove the second seal 1700. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​connection method is relatively simple and helps to reduce assembly difficulty.

[0285] In some embodiments, one of the second seal 1700 and the protective cover 1300 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 1310 and the other is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 1730, and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1730 is snap-fitted to the snap-fit ​​groove 1310.

[0286] For example, the second seal 1700 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 1310 and the protective cover 1300 is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 1730, or refer to Figure 55, the protective cover 1300 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 1310 and refer to Figure 57, the second seal 1700 is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 1730, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1730 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 1310 to realize the snap-fit ​​engagement of the second seal 1700 and the protective cover 1300.

[0287] In some embodiments, referring to FIG57, the outer peripheral wall of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1730 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 1740 for abutting against the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 1310. In this way, after the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1730 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 1310, the first limiting protrusion 1740 abuts against the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 1310 to achieve a limiting fit, thereby improving the snap-fit ​​stability between the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1730 and the snap-fit ​​groove 1310, reducing the risk of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1730 disengaging from the snap-fit ​​groove 1310, and setting the first limiting protrusion 1740 on the outer peripheral wall of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1730 makes it easier to reduce the difficulty of setting the first limiting protrusion 1740.

[0288] The inner peripheral wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 1310 is provided with a second limiting protrusion for abutting against the outer peripheral wall of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1730.

[0289] In this way, after the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1730 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 1310, the second limiting protrusion abuts against the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 1310 to achieve limiting engagement, thereby improving the snap-fit ​​stability between the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1730 and the snap-fit ​​groove 1310 and reducing the risk of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1730 and the snap-fit ​​groove 1310 disengaging.

[0290] In some embodiments, the garment handling device further includes a fourth connector (not shown), which passes through the second seal 1700 to connect with the protective cover 1300, and the fourth connector is used to abut the second seal 1700 against the protective cover 1300.

[0291] For example, the fourth connector can be a bolt, with the bolt shank passing through the second seal 1700 to be threadedly connected to the protective cover 1300. In this case, the bolt head will press the second seal 1700 toward the protective cover 1300 so that the second seal 1700 abuts against the protective cover 1300, that is, the second seal 1700 and the protective cover 1300 are connected by bolts.

[0292] This enhances the connection stability between the second seal 1700 and the protective cover 1300, and facilitates the installation and disassembly of the second seal 1700 and the protective cover 1300, thereby reducing the difficulty of connecting the second seal 1700 and the protective cover 1300.

[0293] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 58 and 59, the garment processing device further includes: a pressure plate 1750, a fourth connector passing through the pressure plate 1750 and the second seal 1700 to be connected to the protective cover 1300, and the pressure plate 1750 is used to press the second seal 1700 so that the second seal 1700 abuts against the protective cover 1300.

[0294] For example, as shown in FIG60, the second sealing member 1700 is provided with a through hole 1710. In actual assembly, the fourth connecting member passes through the pressure plate 1750 and the second sealing member 1700 in sequence to connect with the protective cover 1300. The pressure plate 1750 presses the second sealing member 1700 onto the protective cover 1300, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the second sealing member 1700 and the protective cover 1300 and facilitating the installation and disassembly of the second sealing member 1700 and the protective cover 1300, so as to reduce the connection difficulty between the second sealing member 1700 and the protective cover 1300.

[0295] In some embodiments, the pressure plate 1750 extends circumferentially along the inlet 410, and the shape of the pressure plate 1750 is adapted to the shape of the second seal 1700. This allows the pressure plate 1750 to press the second seal 1700 onto the protective cover 1300 at any position circumferentially around the inlet 410, thereby enhancing the squeezing effect of the pressure plate 1750 on the second seal 1700.

[0296] In some embodiments, one of the second seal 1700 and the protective cover 1300 is provided with a flange 1320 and the other is provided with a mating groove 1760, with the flange 1320 inserted into the mating groove 1760.

[0297] For example, the protective cover 1300 is provided with a mating groove 1760 and a flange 1320, or the second sealing member 1700 is provided with a mating groove 1760 (as shown in Figure 61) and the protective cover 1300 is provided with a flange 1320. The flange 1320 is inserted into the mating groove 1760 to realize the connection between the second sealing member 1700 and the protective cover 1300. In this way, while the second sealing member 1700 is connected to the protective cover 1300 through the fourth connector, the connection stability between the second sealing member 1700 and the protective cover 1300 is further enhanced.

[0298] In some embodiments, the mating groove 1760 is provided on the side of the second seal 1700 away from the pressure plate 1750, and the mating groove 1760 is open in a direction away from the center of the dispensing port 410.

[0299] Therefore, interference between the mating groove 1760 and the pressure plate 1750 can be avoided. Furthermore, the mating groove 1760 is open in a direction away from the center of the dispensing port 410, allowing the flange 1320 to be inserted into the mating groove 1760 on the radially outer side of the dispensing port 410. This ensures that the flange 1320 does not occupy the space inside the dispensing port 410, thereby improving space utilization.

[0300] In some embodiments, the pressure plate 1750 is located on the side of the mating groove 1760 away from the center of the dispensing port 410.

[0301] This ensures that the mating positions of the pressure plate 1750 and the second seal 1700, and the mating positions of the mating groove 1760 and the flange 1320 of the protective cover 1300, do not coincide in the direction of the center line of the inlet 410. This increases the connection position between the second seal 1700 and the protective cover 1300, and avoids interference between the flange 1320 and the fourth connector, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation.

[0302] In some embodiments, a plurality of fourth connectors are provided, and the plurality of fourth connectors are distributed circumferentially spaced along the dispensing port 410.

[0303] Therefore, the connection stability between the second seal 1700 and the protective cover 1300 can be enhanced in the circumferential direction of the inlet 410 by means of multiple fourth connectors spaced apart along the circumference of the inlet 410.
