Garment processing device and combined garment processing equipment
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202520795528.6, filed on April 24, 2025; and Chinese patent application No. 202520800725.2, filed on April 24, 2025; and Chinese patent application No. 202520676787.7, filed on April 10, 2025; and Chinese patent application No. 202520421945.4, filed on March 11, 2025, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of clothing processing technology, and in particular to a clothing processing apparatus and a combined clothing processing device. Background Technology
[0003] Clothing handling devices (such as washing machines) typically include a cabinet, which consists of an outer shell and a frame. The frame is housed within the outer shell and serves to support the shell while also housing the washing machine's drum and other components. Therefore, the frame is crucial in clothing handling devices. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This disclosure addresses the problem of assembling the frame of a garment handling device.
[0005] This disclosure provides several embodiments of a clothing handling apparatus, including a housing and two rollers. The two rollers are arranged side-by-side within the housing along its width. Each roller has an opening for feeding clothing into it, and the rollers are used for drying or washing clothing. The housing includes an outer shell and a frame. The outer shell includes a front panel with two feeding openings arranged side-by-side along the width of the housing and correspondingly connected to the two feeding openings. The frame is disposed within the outer shell and supports it. The frame includes a front frame, a rear frame, a bottom connector, and a top connector. The front panel is disposed on the front frame, which is an integrally formed structure. The rear frame is disposed opposite to the front frame along the depth of the housing and is also an integrally formed structure. The bottom connectors are connected to the bottom of the front frame and the bottom of the rear frame, respectively. The top connectors are connected to the top of the front frame and the top of the rear frame, respectively.
[0006] In this technical solution, since the front frame and the rear frame are both integrally molded structures, when assembling the frame, it is only necessary to connect the bottom connector to the bottom of the front frame and the bottom of the rear frame respectively, and connect the top connector to the top of the front frame and the top of the rear frame respectively, to complete the assembly of the entire frame. The entire assembly process does not involve the assembly of the front frame and the rear frame themselves. Furthermore, it can reduce the number of parts of the entire frame, simplify the assembly steps of the frame, and thus increase the processing efficiency (assembly efficiency) of the garment processing device.

[0040] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, clearly and completely describes some embodiments of this disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments provided in this disclosure are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0041] Unless the context otherwise requires, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" and its other forms, such as the third-person singular "comprises" and the present participle "comprising," are interpreted as open-ended and encompassing, meaning "including, but not limited to." In the description of the specification, terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "exemplary embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., are intended to indicate that a particular feature, structure, material, or characteristic associated with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this disclosure. The illustrative representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics mentioned may be included in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
[0042] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0043] In describing some embodiments, the terms "coupled" and "connected," and their derivative expressions, may be used. The term "connected" should be interpreted broadly; for example, a "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. The term "coupled" indicates that two or more components have direct physical or electrical contact. The term "coupled" or "communicatively coupled" may also refer to two or more components that do not have direct contact with each other but still cooperate or interact with each other. The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited to the content of this document.
[0044] As used herein, “about,” “approximately,” or “approximately” includes the stated value and the average value within an acceptable range of deviation from the given value, wherein the acceptable range of deviation is determined by a person skilled in the art taking into account the measurement under discussion and the error associated with the measurement of the given quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system).
[0045] As used herein, “parallel,” “perpendicular,” and “equal” include the described situation and situations that are similar to the described situation, within an acceptable range of deviation, which is determined by those skilled in the art taking into account the measurement under discussion and the error associated with the measurement of a particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, “parallel” includes absolute parallelism and approximate parallelism, where an acceptable range of deviation for approximate parallelism may be, for example, within 5°; “perpendicular” includes absolute perpendicularity and approximate perpendicularity, where an acceptable range of deviation for approximate perpendicularity may also be, for example, within 5°; “equal” includes absolute equality and approximate equality, where an acceptable range of deviation for approximate equality may be, for example, a difference between the two equals being less than or equal to 5% of either one.
[0046] Clothing handling devices (such as washing machines) typically include a cabinet, which comprises an outer shell and a frame. The frame is housed within the outer shell and supports it to prevent or reduce the possibility of deformation when the outer shell is subjected to external forces, thereby improving the quality of the clothing handling device to some extent. However, the frame structure in related technologies is complex and has a large number of parts, resulting in cumbersome frame assembly and consequently, low processing efficiency of the clothing handling device.
[0047] To address the aforementioned problems, this disclosure provides a clothing processing device 100, as shown in Figure 1. The clothing processing device 100 may include a housing 1. The clothing processing device 100 may be a washing machine or a dryer, etc., and this embodiment does not limit it to this type.
[0048] The shape of the box 1 can be a cuboid as shown in Figure 1. Of course, in other embodiments, the shape of the box 1 can also be a cube or the like, depending on the specific application scenario. This embodiment does not limit this.
[0049] To ensure the clothing processing device 100 has good versatility during installation, specifically, to ensure that the clothing processing device 100 can be well adapted to other clothing processing devices 100 and to ensure that the clothing processing device 100 can be stably installed on the top surface of other clothing processing devices 100, the width of the housing 1 can be in the range of 590mm-610mm.
[0050] When the width of the housing 1 is within the range of 590mm-610mm, this size can be made to be roughly the same as the width requirement of the clothing handling device 100 in the European home appliance design specifications. This allows the clothing handling device 100 to be equal to or roughly equal to the width of most clothing handling devices 100 on the market, which is beneficial for the stable installation of the clothing handling device 100 on the top surface of other clothing handling devices 100.
[0051] For example, the width of the box 1 can be 590mm, 600mm or 610mm, etc., as long as the width of the box 1 is within the range of 590mm-610mm. This embodiment does not limit this.
[0052] To facilitate the explanation of the positions of the various components within the housing 1 of the clothing handling device 100 in the following text, and to better understand the positional relationships between the various components within the housing 1, the housing 1 is used as a reference standard. It can be assumed that the housing 1 has a width direction (X-axis direction in Figure 1), a depth direction (Y-axis direction in Figure 1), and a height direction (Z-axis direction in Figure 1). Taking a drum washing machine as an example, the height direction of the housing 1 can be understood as the vertical direction of the housing 1 when the washing machine is placed on the ground. The depth direction of the housing 1 can be understood as the direction perpendicular to the side where the loading opening is located. The width direction of the housing 1 can be understood as the horizontal direction of the housing 1 when a person is facing the side where the loading opening is located.
[0053] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the clothing handling device 100 may include two rollers 2, which are arranged side by side in the housing 1 along the width direction of the housing 1 (X-axis direction in Figure 2). Each roller 2 has a nozzle 21 for feeding clothes into the roller 2, and the roller 2 is used for drying or washing clothes.
[0054] By arranging the two rollers 2 side by side in the box 1 along the width direction (X-axis direction in Figure 2), the two rollers 2 can make full use of the space in the width direction of the box 1, thereby saving space in the height direction of the box 1. This allows the height of the clothing processing device 100 along the height direction of the box 1 to be designed to be lower. As a result, when the clothing processing device 100 is stacked with other clothing processing devices 100, the height of the clothing processing device 100 will not be too high, making it more convenient for people to use and more ergonomic.
[0055] Furthermore, by using two rollers 2, each capable of drying or washing clothes separately, the clothing processing device 100 can simultaneously perform two different operating modes, increasing its efficiency. Moreover, the two rollers 2 can process different types of clothing separately, allowing for categorized processing. For example, one roller 2 can be dedicated to washing baby clothes, while the other can be dedicated to washing underwear. This makes the clothing processing device 100 more versatile and avoids cross-contamination issues caused by processing different types of clothing in the same roller 2.
[0056] The shape of the aforementioned opening 21 can be circular, square, or irregular, etc., and this embodiment does not limit it.
[0057] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 and 3, the housing 1 may include an outer shell 11, and the outer shell 11 may include a front panel 111. The front panel 111 has two garment inlets 1111, which are arranged side-by-side along the width direction of the housing 1 and correspondingly communicate with two cylindrical openings 21. The front panel 111 may also have a door 112. The door 112 is used to close or open the garment inlets 1111.
[0058] Since the two garment inlets 1111 are located on the front panel 111, and are arranged side-by-side along the width of the housing 1 and correspondingly connected to the two cylinder openings 21, clothing can be fed into the drum 2 through the garment inlets 1111 from the side where the front panel 111 is located. In simpler terms, clothing can be fed into the drum 2 from the front of the garment handling device 100 through the garment inlets 1111, which is more convenient than feeding clothing from the top. Furthermore, when this garment handling device 100 is stacked on top of other garment handling devices 100, the problem of difficulty in feeding due to excessively high garment inlets 1111 is less of a concern.
[0059] Referring to Figures 1, 4, and 5, in some embodiments, the housing 1 may include a frame 12 disposed within the outer shell 11. By disposing of the frame 12 within the outer shell 11, the frame 12 can support the outer shell 11, making the outer shell 11 more robust and durable, and preventing deformation of the outer shell 11 under stress.
[0060] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2, 5, and 6, the frame 12 may include a front frame 121, with a front panel 111 disposed on the front frame 121. The front frame 121 is a one-piece molded structure. Since the front frame 121 is a one-piece molded structure, on the one hand, when assembling the frame 12, the front frame 121 will be installed into the frame 12 as a whole. Therefore, the number of parts of the entire frame 12 can be reduced, thereby simplifying the assembly steps of the frame 12 and making the assembly work of the frame 12 simpler. This can improve the processing efficiency of the garment processing device 100 to a certain extent.
[0061] On the other hand, it will make the overall integrity of the front frame 121 better, which can improve the mechanical strength of the front frame 121 to a certain extent, and thus improve the mechanical strength of the entire frame 12 to a certain extent.
[0062] The aforementioned front frame 121 can be integrally formed by injection molding. Of course, the front frame 121 can also be integrally formed by other methods, as long as the front frame 121 is an integrally formed structure. This embodiment does not limit this.
[0063] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 and 7, the frame 12 may include a rear frame 122, which is disposed opposite to the front frame 121 along the depth direction of the housing 1 (Y-axis direction in Figure 5), and the rear frame 122 is an integrally formed structure.
[0064] Since the back frame 122 is a one-piece molded structure, when assembling the frame 12, the back frame 122 will be installed into the frame 12 as a whole. Therefore, the number of parts of the entire frame 12 can be reduced, thereby reducing the assembly steps of the frame 12 and making the assembly work of the frame 12 simpler. This can improve the processing efficiency of the garment processing device 100 to a certain extent.
[0065] On the other hand, it will make the overall integrity of the rear frame 122 better, which can improve the mechanical strength of the rear frame 122 to a certain extent, and thus improve the mechanical strength of the entire frame 12 to a certain extent.
[0066] Furthermore, by making the rear frame 122 also a one-piece structure in addition to the front frame 121, the number of parts in the frame 12 can be further reduced, the assembly steps of the frame 12 can be simplified, and the processing efficiency of the garment handling device 100 can be further improved. On the other hand, before the frame 12 is assembled, when the rear frame 122 and the front frame 121 are independent parts, they are convenient to stack and transport.
[0067] Furthermore, since the front frame 121 is a one-piece molded structure, by making the rear frame 122 also a one-piece molded structure, before the garment handling device 100 is assembled, since the front frame 121 and the rear frame 122 are relatively large, the cooperation between the front frame 121 and the rear frame 122 can form a base for placing and storing other smaller parts, thereby making the storage of other smaller parts simpler.
[0068] In order to make the rear frame 122 relatively lightweight while having a certain mechanical strength, in some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5 and 7, a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 1221 can be provided on the side of the rear frame 122 facing the front frame 121. The plurality of first reinforcing ribs 1221 can be arranged horizontally and vertically in a staggered manner on the side of the rear frame 122 facing the front frame 121. In this way, the rear frame 122 can be made relatively lightweight while having a certain mechanical strength.
[0069] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 and 8, the frame 12 may include a bottom connector 123, which is connected to the bottom of the front frame 121 and the bottom of the rear frame 122, respectively.
[0070] By connecting the bottom connector 123 to the bottom of the front frame 121 and the bottom of the rear frame 122 respectively, on the one hand, the bottom connector 123 is similar to a base for the front frame 121 and the rear frame 122 to be placed on. On the other hand, by connecting the bottom connector 123 to the bottom of the front frame 121 and the bottom of the rear frame 122 respectively, a structural guarantee can be provided for the subsequent formation of a complete and interconnected frame 12.
[0071] The bottom connector 123 can be a plate-shaped structure as shown in Figure 8. Of course, the bottom connector 123 can also be other shapes. This embodiment does not limit this.
[0072] When the bottom connector 123 is a plate-shaped structure, in order to make the bottom connector 123 relatively lightweight while having a certain mechanical strength, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 8, a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 1231 can be provided on the side of the bottom connector 123 facing the inside of the frame 12. The plurality of second reinforcing ribs 1231 can be arranged horizontally and vertically in a staggered manner. In this way, the bottom connector 123 can be made relatively lightweight while having a certain mechanical strength.
[0073] In some embodiments, referring to FIG5, the frame 12 may include a top connector 124, which is connected to the top of the front frame 121 and the top of the rear frame 122 respectively. By connecting the top connector 124 to the top of the front frame 121 and the top of the rear frame 122 respectively, the top connector 124, the front frame 121, the bottom connector 123 and the rear frame 122 can be sequentially connected to form the frame 12 structure. The top connector 124, the front frame 121, the bottom connector 123 and the rear frame 122 can be mutually restrained and interdependent, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the entire frame 12.
[0074] The top connector 124 can be a connecting beam or a connecting plate, etc., and this embodiment does not limit it.
[0075] As can be seen, since the front frame 121 and the rear frame 122 are integrally formed structures, when assembling the frame 12, it is only necessary to connect the bottom connector 123 to the bottom of the front frame 121 and the rear frame 122 respectively, and connect the top connector 124 to the top of the front frame 121 and the rear frame 122 respectively, to complete the assembly of the entire frame 12. The entire assembly process does not involve the assembly of the front frame 121 and the rear frame 122 themselves. Furthermore, the number of parts of the entire frame 12 is reduced. Therefore, the assembly steps of the frame 12 can be simplified, thereby increasing the processing efficiency (assembly efficiency) of the garment processing device 100.
[0076] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3, 5 and 6, a front frame opening 1211 may be provided on the front frame 121, which extends through the front frame 121 along the depth direction of the housing 1 (Y-axis direction in Figure 5), and the projections of the two cylindrical openings 21 along the depth direction of the housing 1 onto the front frame 121 are located within the front frame opening 1211.
[0077] By ensuring that the projections of the two tube openings 21 along the depth direction of the box body 1 onto the front frame 121 are located within the front frame opening 1211, the front frame 121 will not obstruct the two tube openings 21, thereby ensuring that clothes can be safely placed into the drum 2 through the tube openings 21.
[0078] In addition, by providing a front frame opening 1211 on the front frame 121, the amount of material used in the front frame 121 can be reduced to a certain extent, thus reducing the weight of the front frame 121.
[0079] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 6, the shape of the front frame opening 1211 can be rectangular or irregular, as long as the projection of the two cylindrical openings 21 along the depth direction of the box body 1 onto the front frame 121 is located within the front frame opening 1211. This embodiment does not limit the shape of the front frame opening 1211.
[0080] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 6, 9 and 10, the front frame 121 has a front frame surface 1212 disposed opposite to the rear frame 122, and at least a portion of the edge of the cylinder opening 21 protrudes from the front frame surface 1212 along the depth direction of the housing 1.
[0081] By making at least a portion of the edge of the cylinder opening 21 protrude from the front frame surface 1212 along the depth direction of the box body 1 (Y-axis direction in Figure 9), the cylinder opening 21 is positioned relatively close to the front side of the clothing handling device 100. This facilitates the loading of clothing into the roller 2 by personnel through the cylinder opening 21, making the loading of clothing simpler, more convenient, and more user-friendly.
[0082] On the other hand, the opening 21 allows space within the frame 12 to accommodate other structures of the roller 2, thus eliminating the need for the frame 12 to be too large, making the entire garment processing device 100 more compact and small.
[0083] Of course, in other embodiments, the edge of the cylinder opening 21 may not protrude from the front frame surface 1212 along the depth direction of the box body 1, and this embodiment does not limit this.
[0084] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 and 6, the front frame 121 may include an upper crossbeam 1213, which extends along the width direction of the housing 1, and a top connector 124 is connected to the upper crossbeam 1213. The upper crossbeam 1213 may be a plate-shaped crossbeam, a cylindrical crossbeam, or an irregularly shaped crossbeam, etc., and this embodiment does not limit its design. The material of the upper crossbeam 1213 may be plastic or hard rubber, etc., and this embodiment does not limit its design.
[0085] In some embodiments, referring to FIG6, the front frame 121 may further include a lower crossbeam 1214, the lower crossbeam 1214 and the upper crossbeam 1213 being spaced apart and opposite to each other along the height direction of the housing 1, and the bottom connector 123 being connected to the lower crossbeam 1214. The structure of the lower crossbeam 1214 may be the same as or similar to the structure of the upper crossbeam 1213, as described in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
[0086] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 and 6, the front frame 121 may further include a first vertical beam 1215, which is located between the upper horizontal beam 1213 and the lower horizontal beam 1214 and is connected to one end of the upper horizontal beam 1213 and one end of the lower horizontal beam 1214, respectively.
[0087] By connecting the first vertical beam 1215 between the upper horizontal beam 1213 and the lower horizontal beam 1214, the upper horizontal beam 1213 and the lower horizontal beam 1214 can form a whole under the action of the first vertical beam 1215.
[0088] The first vertical beam 1215 can be a plate-shaped beam, a cylindrical beam, or an irregularly shaped beam, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this. The material of the first vertical beam 1215 can be plastic or hard rubber, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.
[0089] In some embodiments, referring to FIG6, the front frame 121 may further include a second vertical beam 1216, which is located between the upper horizontal beam 1213 and the lower horizontal beam 1214, and is spaced apart from the first vertical beam 1215 along the width direction of the box body 1. The second vertical beam 1216 is connected to the other end of the upper horizontal beam 1213 and the other end of the lower horizontal beam 1214, respectively.
[0090] The structure of the second vertical beam 1216 can be the same as or similar to that of the first vertical beam 1215. For details, please refer to the description of the first vertical beam 1215 in the above embodiments. This embodiment will not repeat the description here.
[0091] In some embodiments, referring to FIG6, the upper crossbeam 1213, the first vertical beam 1215, the lower crossbeam 1214 and the second vertical beam 1216 are integrally arranged and enclose to form the front frame opening 1211.
[0092] Since the upper crossbeam 1213, the first vertical beam 1215, the lower crossbeam 1214 and the second vertical beam 1216 are integrated, the entire front frame 121 can be a one-piece molded structure, which can reduce the number of parts in the entire frame 12 to a certain extent, making the assembly of the frame 12 simpler.
[0093] For a garment handling device 100 with two rollers 2, the space within the frame 12 along the width direction of the housing 1 is usually quite limited. To ensure sufficient space within the frame 12 along the width direction of the housing 1 for installing the two rollers 2, in some embodiments, referring to Figures 6 and 11, the narrowest width of the upper crossbeam 1213 along the height direction of the housing 1 (Z-axis direction in Figure 11) is H1, the narrowest width of the lower crossbeam 1214 along the height direction of the housing 1 is H2, the narrowest width of the first vertical beam 1215 along the width direction of the housing 1 is S1, and the narrowest width of the second vertical beam 1216 along the width direction of the housing 1 is S2. Wherein, H1 > S1, H1 > S2, H2 > S1, and H2 > S2.
[0094] By ensuring that H1 > S1, H1 > S2, H2 > S1, and H2 > S2, the width of the narrowest part of the vertical beam is less than the width of the narrowest part of the horizontal beam. This serves two purposes: firstly, the vertical beams do not occupy too much space in the frame 12 along the width direction of the housing 1, thus providing sufficient space within the frame 12 to install the two rollers 2, preventing space constraints during installation. Secondly, when the vertical beams are relatively narrow, making the width of the narrowest part of the horizontal beam greater than that of the narrowest part of the vertical beam increases the mechanical strength of the horizontal beam, thereby maximizing the overall mechanical strength of the front frame 121 and minimizing or preventing the possibility of bending deformation of the front frame 121.
[0095] In some embodiments, referring to FIG5, the top connector 124 may include two side beams 1241, which are respectively connected to the top of the front frame 121 and the top of the rear frame 122. The two side beams 1241 are located at both ends of the front frame 121 and the rear frame 122 along the width direction of the housing 1 (X-axis direction in FIG5).
[0096] Normally, the two ends of the front frame 121 and the two ends of the rear frame 122 are prone to swaying when subjected to external forces. Based on this, by using two side beams 1241 located at the two ends of the front frame 121 and the two ends of the rear frame 122 along the width direction of the box body 1 (X-axis direction in Figure 5), the two ends of the front frame 121 and the rear frame 122 along the width direction of the box body 1 can be fixed by the two side beams 1241, and a tensile force is generated under the action of the two side beams 1241, thereby preventing the two ends of the front frame 121 and the rear frame 122 from swaying, making the mechanical strength of the entire frame 12 stronger.
[0097] To further enhance the mechanical strength of the frame 12, in some embodiments, referring to Figures 4 and 5, the top connector 124 may also include two central beams 125, which are respectively connected to the top of the front frame 121 and the top of the rear frame 122, and the two central beams 125 are located between the two rollers 2 along the width direction of the housing 1 (X-axis direction in Figure 5).
[0098] By positioning two central beams 125 between the two rollers along the width direction of the housing 1 (X-axis direction in Figure 5), the two central beams 125 can be positioned close to the center of the housing 1 along the width direction. This allows the center of the front frame 121 and the rear frame 122 along the width direction of the housing 1 to be fixed by the two central beams 125, thereby further enhancing the mechanical strength of the entire frame 12.
[0099] In addition, since a large space is usually formed between the two rollers 2, by setting the two central beams 125 close to the center of the box 1 along the width direction of the box 1 (X-axis direction in Figure 5), the two central beams 125 can correspond to the space between the two rollers 2 in position. In this way, interference between the central beams 125 and the rollers 2 can be avoided to a certain extent, making the setting position of the central beams 125 more reasonable.
[0100] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4, 12 and 13, two central beams 125 are spaced apart along the width direction of the box body 1 (X-axis direction in Figure 12).
[0101] By arranging the two central beams 125 at intervals along the width direction of the housing 1 (X-axis direction in Figure 12), a gap can be created between the two central beams 125. This prevents the two central beams 125 from affecting each other. For example, when one of the two central beams 125 vibrates, the vibration at that central beam 125 will not be transmitted to the other central beam 125, or is difficult to transmit. This makes each central beam 125 more independent, and can thus avoid large vibrations in the clothing handling device 100 during operation to a certain extent.
[0102] In some embodiments, referring to FIG13, two relief grooves 1251 are respectively provided on two opposite surfaces of the two central beams 125. Each relief groove 1251 passes through the corresponding central beam 125 along the depth direction of the box body 1 (Z-axis direction in FIG13), and the two relief grooves 1251 enclose to form a through hole 1250.
[0103] Since each clearance groove 1251 penetrates the corresponding central beam 125 along the depth direction of the box body 1, and two clearance grooves 1251 enclose to form a through hole 1250, the through hole 1250 can facilitate the layout of subsequent pipelines. For example, the through hole 1250 can be used for pipelines to pass through, thereby making the layout of pipelines more convenient and flexible.
[0104] In addition, since the two clearance grooves 1251 enclose and form a through hole 1250, when the pipeline passes through the through hole 1250, the through hole 1250 can also limit and fix the pipeline, making the pipeline layout more regular and reliable.
[0105] Furthermore, since the through hole 1250 is formed by two relief grooves 1251, and the two relief grooves 1251 are respectively set on two opposite surfaces of the two central beams 125, in this way, when the size of the through hole 1250 is fixed, each central beam 125 only needs to remove a small amount of material to process the relief grooves 1251 to obtain a through hole 1250 of a specific size. This ensures that the mechanical strength of each central beam 125 is not greatly affected by the need to enclose the through hole 1250, thereby avoiding the occurrence of local breakage of the central beam 125.
[0106] It should be noted that the aforementioned side beam 1241 and middle beam 125 are respectively the connecting beam 1240.
[0107] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 and 14, a first slot 1217 may be provided on the front frame 121, and one end of the connecting beam 1240 is inserted into the first slot 1217.
[0108] By providing a first slot 1217 on the front frame 121, when it is necessary to connect one end of the connecting beam 1240 to the front frame 121, one end of the connecting beam 1240 only needs to be inserted into the first slot 1217, and then the one end of the connecting beam 1240 can be connected to the front frame 121 by screws or other means.
[0109] This design serves two purposes. First, the engagement between the connecting beam 1240 and the first slot 1217 helps to position the connection between the connecting beam 1240 and the front frame 121, resulting in higher installation accuracy of the connecting beam 1240 on the front frame 121. Second, the engagement between the connecting beam 1240 and the first slot 1217 also reinforces the connection between the connecting beam 1240 and the front frame 121, making the connection more secure.
[0110] The first slot 1217 can be circular or rectangular, as long as it can match one end of the connecting beam 1240. This embodiment does not limit this.
[0111] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 14 and 15, a second slot 1222 may be provided on the rear frame 122, which is opposite to the first slot 1217 along the depth direction of the housing 1 (Y-axis direction in Figure 15), and the other end of the connecting beam 1240 is inserted into the second slot 1222.
[0112] By providing a second slot 1222 on the rear frame 122, when it is necessary to connect the other end of the connecting beam 1240 to the rear frame 122, simply insert the other end of the connecting beam 1240 into the second slot 1222, and then connect the other end of the connecting beam 1240 to the rear frame 122 by screws or other means.
[0113] This design serves two purposes. First, the engagement between the connecting beam 1240 and the second slot 1222 helps to position the connection between the connecting beam 1240 and the rear frame 122, resulting in higher installation accuracy of the connecting beam 1240 on the rear frame 122. Second, the engagement between the connecting beam 1240 and the second slot 1222 also reinforces the connection between the connecting beam 1240 and the rear frame 122, making the connection more secure.
[0114] The shape of the second slot 1222 can also be circular or rectangular, as long as it can match the other end of the connecting beam 1240. This embodiment does not limit this.
[0115] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 15 and 16, a first anti-fooling part 1241a may be provided on the other end of the connecting beam 1240, and a second anti-fooling part 1222a matching the first anti-fooling part 1241a may be provided in the second slot 1222.
[0116] By providing a first anti-mistake part 1241a on the other end of the connecting beam 1240 and a second anti-mistake part 1222a matching the first anti-mistake part 1241a in the second slot 1222, when the other end of the connecting beam 1240 needs to be inserted into the second slot 1222, it is necessary to ensure that the first anti-mistake part 1241a and the second anti-mistake part 1222a are matched in position so that the other end of the connecting beam 1240 can be smoothly inserted into the second slot 1222, thereby avoiding installation errors.
[0117] There are multiple ways to implement the first anti-mistake part 1241a and the second anti-mistake part 1222a. In one possible implementation, the first anti-mistake part 1241a is a protrusion protruding from the connecting beam 1240 along the width direction (X-axis direction in FIG16) of the housing 1, and the second anti-mistake part 1222a is an anti-mistake groove provided on the groove wall of the second slot 1222 and extending along the depth direction (Y-axis direction in FIG16) of the housing 1. The protrusion is slidably inserted into the anti-mistake groove along the depth direction of the housing 1.
[0118] Because the protrusion and groove structures are simple, when the first anti-mistake part 1241a is a protrusion and the second anti-mistake part 1222a is an anti-mistake groove, on the one hand, the cost of the first anti-mistake part 1241a and the second anti-mistake part 1222a can be reduced. On the other hand, the cooperation between the protrusion and the anti-mistake groove can also improve the installation accuracy between the connecting beam 1240 and the rear frame 122.
[0119] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the first anti-mistake part 1241a can also be an anti-mistake groove, and correspondingly, the second anti-mistake part 1222a can be an anti-mistake protrusion.
[0120] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 15 and 17, along the depth direction of the housing 1 (Y-axis direction in Figure 15), the connecting beam 1240 may have a first side segment 1242, a middle segment 1243 and a second side segment 1244 connected in sequence. The first side segment 1242 is connected to the top of the front frame 121, the second side segment 1244 is connected to the top of the rear frame 122, and the top surface of the middle segment 1243 is higher than the top surface of the first side segment 1242 and higher than the top surface of the second side segment 1244.
[0121] The top surface of the middle section 1243 is flush with the top surface of the front frame 121 and the top surface of the rear frame 122.
[0122] Since the top surface of the middle section 1243 is higher than the top surface of the first side section 1242 and the top surface of the second side section 1244, and since the top surface of the middle section 1243 is flush with the top surface of the front frame 121 and the top surface of the rear frame 122, when the top plate of the outer shell 11 is installed on the top surface of the frame 12, only the top surface of the middle section 1243 can contact the top plate to support it, while the top surfaces of the first side section 1242 and the second side section 1244 can have gaps with the top plate. In this way, the connecting beam 1240 can support the top plate while reducing the contact area with the top plate, thereby reducing the possibility of vibration on the connecting beam 1240 being transmitted to the outer shell 11 to a certain extent, making the clothing handling device 100 operate more smoothly.
[0123] The first side section 1242, the middle section 1243 and the second side section 1244 can be integrally formed. When the first side section 1242, the middle section 1243 and the second side section 1244 are integrally formed, the structure of the connecting beam 1240 can be simplified, thereby reducing the assembly steps of the entire clothing processing device 100.
[0124] Referring to Figure 18, this embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a combined clothing processing device 200, which may include a first clothing processing device 201 and a second clothing processing device 202, wherein the second clothing processing device 202 is any of the clothing processing devices 100 in the above embodiments, and the second clothing processing device 202 is detachably disposed on the top surface of the first clothing processing device 201.
[0125] The structure of the second garment processing device 202 can be the same as that of the garment processing device 100, and can bring the same or similar beneficial effects. For details, please refer to the description of the garment processing device 100 in the above embodiments. This embodiment will not repeat the description here.
[0126] In this embodiment of the disclosure, since the assembly of the frame of the second garment processing device 202 is relatively simple, the processing efficiency of the second garment processing device 202 is relatively high. Based on this, when the combined garment processing equipment 200 includes the second garment processing device 202, the assembly of the combined garment processing equipment 200 is relatively simple, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the combined garment processing equipment 200.
[0127] The first garment processing device 201 can be a washing machine. Specifically, when the first garment processing device 201 is a washing machine, it can be a single-drum washing machine as shown in Figure 18.
[0128] Of course, the first garment processing device 201 can also be a shoe washing machine or a dryer, etc., and this embodiment does not limit it.
[0129] The aforementioned second clothing handling device 202 can be a twin-drum washing machine.
[0130] By detachably mounting the second garment processing device 202 on the top surface of the first garment processing device 201, the second garment processing device 202 and the first garment processing device 201 can be stacked together, thereby making the overall footprint of the second garment processing device 202 and the first garment processing device 201 smaller, making full use of the upper space, and saving floor space.
[0131] Multi-drum garment processing units meet users' increasingly sophisticated hygiene needs, allowing them to separate garments by type and use different drums to clean different types of clothing simultaneously. For example, trousers can use a separate drum, underwear a separate drum, and socks a separate drum. For families with infants and young children, infant clothing can also use a separate drum. However, in practical applications, when multiple drums simultaneously perform dehydration / drying programs, the garment processing unit may operate beyond its power capacity, posing a safety hazard. For instance, when multiple drums are dehydrating simultaneously, all drums vibrate. This results in a large overall vibration amplitude and frequency for the garment processing unit, putting significant stress on the support frame and potentially causing damage. In particular, when multiple drums are performing a dehydration program and their vibrations are within the resonance range, the resonance of the drums can cause a significant increase in the vibration amplitude and frequency of the garment processing unit, potentially even leading to the disintegration of the support frame.
[0132] The inventors attempted to improve the stability of the support frame by using multiple fixing and connecting devices, or to enhance its mechanical strength by improving its integral design. However, using multiple fixing and connecting devices increases the volume, complexity, and manufacturing cost of the support frame. Furthermore, after prolonged operation of the garment handling device, repeated vibrations can cause the connections between different structures to loosen, reducing the support frame's stability. Using a one-piece support frame design significantly increases the manufacturing difficulty, directly leading to a substantial increase in manufacturing costs. Additionally, during the assembly of the garment handling device, parts of the one-piece support frame can obstruct the assembly process, increasing assembly difficulty.
[0133] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a garment processing device. The device includes a first side beam, a first central beam, a second central beam, and a second side beam arranged sequentially at intervals. In the width direction of the housing, the first side beam and the first central beam are located on opposite sides of the axis of the first outer cylinder, and the second central beam and the second side beam are located on opposite sides of the axis of the second outer cylinder. The first side beam and the first central beam are connected to the first outer cylinder via a first suspension spring assembly and a second suspension spring assembly, respectively. The second central beam and the second side beam are connected to the second outer cylinder via a third suspension spring assembly and a fourth suspension spring assembly, respectively. Thus, during operation, the first roller and the second roller are suspended on different first and second central beams, preventing both rollers from acting on the same central beam. This prevents the first and second rollers from transmitting vibrations through the same central beam and interfering with each other, improving the vibration damping effect of the garment processing device. When only the first roller or the second roller is working, because they are suspended on different central beams, the vibration of the working roller cannot be directly transmitted to the other roller through the central beam, reducing the impact of the working roller on the non-working roller. Meanwhile, since the two rollers are suspended by different center beams, the load on the first or second center beam can be reduced, thus reducing the overall load on the frame and lowering the risk of frame loosening or damage, thereby extending the service life of the garment processing device. Furthermore, because the first and second center beams are located between the axes of the first and second rollers, the space between the two rollers can be effectively utilized, making the internal structure of the garment processing device more compact and facilitating miniaturization. Additionally, in a structure design sharing a single center beam, three different injection molds are required to manufacture the two side beams and one center beam. However, in this embodiment, since the first side beam and the second center beam have identical structures, and the first center beam and the second side beam have identical structures, only two injection molds are needed to manufacture the four beams required for the garment processing device. This reduces the types of injection molds required to manufacture the beam structure and saves on the manufacturing cost of the garment processing device.
[0134] It should be noted that the garment handling device can be a washing machine, a dryer, or a washer-dryer combo, and this disclosure does not specifically limit this. The detergent can be a cleaning agent used for cleaning clothes, such as laundry detergent. The detergent can also be a garment care agent, such as fabric softener or disinfectant.
[0135] In some embodiments, referring to FIG19, the garment processing device 100 may include a housing 1, which is a combination of the outer shell 11 of the garment processing device 100 and the support frame 12.
[0136] In some embodiments, referring to FIG20, the housing 1 may include an outer shell 11. The outer shell 11 may include a front panel 111, on which two garment inlets 1111 are provided, the two garment inlets 1111 being spaced apart along the width direction of the housing.
[0137] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 19 and 20, two doors 112 can be provided on the front panel 111 corresponding to the two garment openings 1111. Both doors 112 can rotate relative to the front panel 111. By rotating the two doors 112, the two garment openings 1111 can be closed or opened respectively.
[0138] In some embodiments, referring to FIG21, the outer casing 11 may include a first side plate 113 and a second side plate 114. The first side plate 113 and the second side plate 114 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the front plate 111 in the width direction of the casing 1, and the first side plate 113 is connected to one end of the front plate 111, and the second side plate 114 is connected to the other end of the front plate 111.

[0143] In some embodiments, referring to FIG21, the housing 1 may include a bottom plate 117, which is spaced apart from and parallel to the top plate 116. The bottom plate 117 is connected to the ends of the front plate 111, the first side plate 113, the second side plate 114, and the rear plate 115 away from the top plate 116.
[0144] It should be noted that the width direction P1 of the box 1 refers to the direction in which the first side panel 113 and the second side panel 114 are arranged alternately, the depth direction P2 refers to the direction in which the front panel 111 and the rear panel 115 are arranged alternately, and the height direction P3 refers to the height direction of the box 1 itself. The height direction P3, the width direction P1, and the depth direction P2 are perpendicular to each other.
[0145] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 21 and 22, the frame 12 may include a first side beam 126, the two ends of which are connected to the front plate 111 and the rear plate 115, respectively.
[0146] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 21 and 22, the frame 12 may include a second side beam 127, with the first side beam 126 and the second side beam 127 spaced apart along the width direction of the housing 1, and the two ends of the first side beam 126 and the second side beam 127 respectively connected to the front plate 111 and the rear plate 115. The first side beam 126 and the second side beam 127 are used to support the outer shell 11.
[0147] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 21 and 22, the frame 12 may include a first central beam 128, the two ends of which are connected to the front plate 111 and the rear plate 115, respectively.
[0148] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 21 and 22, the frame 12 may include a second central beam 129, and the first central beam 128 and the second central beam 129 are disposed between the first side beam 126 and the second side beam 127 along the width direction of the housing 1. The two ends of the first central beam 128 and the second central beam 129 are connected to the front plate 111 and the rear plate 115, respectively. The first central beam 128 and the second central beam 129 are spaced apart along the width direction of the housing 1, and the first side beam 126, the second side beam 127, the first central beam 128, and the second central beam 129 are used to support the outer shell 11.
[0149] In some embodiments, the first side beam 126 and the first middle beam 128 have the same structure, and the second middle beam 129 and the second side beam 127 have the same structure.
[0150] In other embodiments, the first side beam 126 and the second middle beam 129 have the same structure, and the first middle beam 128 and the second side beam 127 have the same structure.
[0151] In some embodiments, referring to FIG21, the clothing handling device 100 may include two rollers 2 located inside the housing 1 and spaced apart along the width direction P1 of the housing 1. Each roller 2 has an opening 21, which corresponds to and communicates with the two clothing inlets 1111 mentioned above. The opening 21 serves as the clothing inlet, allowing the user to either insert clothing into the roller 2 or remove clothing from it.
[0152] In some embodiments, referring to FIG21, the two rollers 2 can be distinguished as a first roller 22 and a second roller 23. The first roller 22 is closer to the first side plate 113 than the second roller 23, and the second roller 23 is closer to the second side plate 114 than the first roller 22. The second roller 23 and the first roller 22 are arranged side by side in the housing 1 along the width direction of the housing 1. The distance between the first roller 22 and the second side plate 114 is greater than the distance between the first roller 22 and the first side plate 113. The distance between the second roller 23 and the first side plate 113 is greater than the distance between the second roller 23 and the second side plate 114.
[0153] In some embodiments, referring to FIG22, the first roller 22 may include a first outer cylinder 22a and a first inner cylinder 22b, with the first inner cylinder 22b disposed inside the first outer cylinder 22a. The second roller 23 may include a second outer cylinder 23a and a second inner cylinder 23b, with the second inner cylinder 23b disposed inside the second outer cylinder 23a.
[0154] In some embodiments, referring to FIG22, in the width direction of the housing 1, the first side beam 126 is located between the axes of the first side plate 113 and the first outer cylinder 22a, and the second side beam 127 is located between the second side plate 114 and the second outer cylinder 23a. In the height direction of the housing 1, the first side beam 126 is located above the first outer cylinder 22a and the second outer cylinder 23a, and the second side beam 127 is located above the first outer cylinder 22a and the second outer cylinder 23a.
[0155] In some embodiments, referring to FIG22, in the width direction of the housing 1, the first central beam 128 is located between the axis of the first outer cylinder 22a and the axis of the second outer cylinder 23a, and the second central beam 129 is located between the axes of the first central beam 128 and the second outer cylinder 23a. The projections of the first central beam 128 and the second central beam 129 are located between the axes of the first outer cylinder 22a and the second outer cylinder 23a. Since the first outer cylinder 22a and the second outer cylinder 23a are spaced apart along the width direction of the housing 1, a certain space can be constructed in the middle of the two rollers 2. By placing the first central beam 128 and the second central beam 129 in this position, the internal space of the clothing handling device 100 can be effectively utilized, improving space utilization. The cylinder axis of the first roller 22 is O1-O1', and the cylinder axis of the second roller 23 is O2-O2'.
[0156] In some embodiments, referring to FIG22, in the height direction of the housing 1, the first middle beam 128 is located above the first outer cylinder 22a and the second outer cylinder 23a, and the second middle beam 129 is located above the first outer cylinder 22a and the second outer cylinder 23a.
[0157] In some embodiments, referring to FIG22, the garment handling device 100 may include a first suspension spring assembly 101 connected between the frame 12 and the first roller 22. For example, the first suspension spring assembly 101 may be connected between the first side beam 126 and the first outer cylinder 22a. When the first roller 22 operates and vibrates, the first suspension spring assembly 101 can absorb the vibration of the first roller 22 and convert the kinetic energy of the vibration into other forms of energy, such as potential energy and thermal energy, or cause the energy of the first roller 22 to be converted between kinetic energy and potential / thermal energy multiple times.
[0158] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 22 and 23, the garment handling device 100 may include a second suspension spring assembly 102, which may be connected between the first center beam 128 and the first roller 22. The second suspension spring assembly 102 may be connected between the first center beam 128 and the first outer cylinder 22a. When the first roller 22 operates and vibrates, the second suspension spring assembly 102 can absorb the vibration of the first roller 22 and convert the kinetic energy of the vibration into other forms of energy, such as potential energy and thermal energy, or cause the energy of the first roller 22 to be converted between kinetic energy and potential / thermal energy multiple times.
[0159] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 22 and 23, the garment handling device 100 may include a third suspension spring assembly 103, which may be connected between the frame 12 and the second roller 23. For example, the third suspension spring assembly 103 may be connected between the second central beam 129 and the second outer cylinder 23a. When the second roller 23 operates and vibrates, the third suspension spring assembly 103 can absorb the vibration of the second roller 23 and convert the kinetic energy of the vibration into other forms of energy, such as potential energy and thermal energy, or cause the energy of the second roller 23 to be converted between kinetic energy and potential / thermal energy multiple times. It is understood that the suspension spring will expand and contract under the vibration of the roller 2, and the suspension spring will generate heat during expansion and contraction. Therefore, part of the kinetic energy generated by the vibration of the roller 2 will be converted into thermal energy.
[0160] In some embodiments, referring to FIG22, the garment handling device 100 may include a fourth suspension spring assembly 104, which may be connected between the frame 12 and the second roller 23. The fourth suspension spring assembly 104 may be connected between the second side beam 127 and the second outer cylinder 23a. When the second roller 23 operates and vibrates, the fourth suspension spring assembly 104 can absorb the vibration of the second roller 23 and convert the kinetic energy of the vibration into other forms of energy, such as potential energy and thermal energy, or cause the energy of the second roller 23 to be converted between kinetic energy and potential / thermal energy multiple times. It is understood that the suspension spring will expand and contract under the vibration of the roller 2, and the suspension spring will generate heat during expansion and contraction. Therefore, part of the kinetic energy generated by the vibration of the roller 2 will be converted into thermal energy.
[0161] With this configuration, during the operation of the garment handling device 100, the first roller 22 and the second roller 23 are suspended from different first central beams 128 and 129, respectively. This prevents the two rollers from acting on the same central beam, thus preventing the first roller 22 and the second roller 23 from interfering with each other by transmitting vibrations through the same central beam, and improving the vibration damping effect of the garment handling device 100. When only the first roller 22 or the second roller 23 is working, since the first roller 22 and the second roller 23 are suspended from different central beams, the vibration of the roller in operation cannot be directly transmitted to the other roller through the central beam, reducing the impact of the working roller on the non-working roller. At the same time, since the two rollers are suspended from different central beams, the load on the first central beam 128 or the second central beam 129 can be reduced, that is, the overall load on the frame 12 can be reduced, lowering the risk of the frame 12 loosening or being damaged, thereby extending the service life of the garment handling device 100. Furthermore, since the first central beam 128 and the second central beam 129 are located between the axes of the first roller 22 and the second roller 23, the space between the two rollers can be effectively utilized, making the internal structure of the garment processing device 100 more compact and facilitating the miniaturization design of the garment processing device 100. In addition, in the structural design that shares a central beam, three types of injection molds are required to manufacture the two side beams and the central beam. However, in this application, since the first side beam 126 and the second central beam 129 have the same structure, and the first central beam 128 and the second side beam 127 have the same structure, only two types of injection molds are needed to manufacture the four beams required for the garment processing device 100, thereby reducing the types of injection molds required to manufacture the beam structure.
[0162] In some embodiments, referring to FIG21, the frame 12 may further include a front frame 121, which is fixedly connected to the front panel 111 and is used to support the front panel 111. The first middle beam 128 and the second middle beam 129 are fixedly connected to the front frame 121, and the three together support the outer shell 11.
[0163] Referring to Figures 22 and 23, in some embodiments, the first suspension spring assembly 101, the second suspension spring assembly 102, the third suspension spring assembly 103 and the fourth suspension spring assembly 104 respectively include a first suspension spring 105 and a second suspension spring 106, and the first suspension spring 105 and the second suspension spring 106 are arranged at intervals in the depth direction P2 of the housing 1.
[0164] It should be noted that the first spring 105 and the second spring 106 of the first suspension spring assembly 101 are used to connect the first side beam 126 and the first outer cylinder 22a; the first spring 105 and the second spring 106 of the second suspension spring assembly 102 are used to connect the first middle beam 128 and the first outer cylinder 22a; the first spring 105 and the second spring 106 of the third suspension spring assembly 103 are used to connect the second middle beam 129 and the second outer cylinder 22a; and the first spring 105 and the second spring 106 of the fourth suspension spring assembly 104 are used to connect the second side beam 127 and the second outer cylinder 22a. Each suspension spring assembly includes a first spring 105 and a second spring 106, which can disperse the vibration generated by the first outer cylinder 22a and the second outer cylinder 23a during operation to multiple suspension springs. By using multiple suspension springs to absorb the vibration of a roller, the vibration of the roller can be dispersed, the load of a single suspension spring can be reduced, and the stability of the frame in damping the first roller 22 and the second roller 23 can be improved.
[0165] Taking the second suspension spring assembly 102 as an example, one end of the first suspension spring 105 of the second suspension spring assembly 102 is connected to the first central beam 128, and the other end is connected to the first outer cylinder 22a. Similarly, one end of the second suspension spring 106 of the second suspension spring assembly 102 is connected to the first central beam 128, and the other end is connected to the first outer cylinder 22a. In this way, when the first outer cylinder 22a vibrates and moves towards the first suspension spring 105, the first outer cylinder 22a compresses the first suspension spring 105. At this time, the stroke of the first outer cylinder 22a due to vibration is converted into the elastic potential energy of the first suspension spring 105, and will not be transmitted to the frame 12, or most of it will not be transmitted to the frame 12, so that the garment handling device 100 remains in a relatively stable state. When the first outer cylinder 22a vibrates and moves away from the first suspension spring 105, the first outer cylinder 22a stretches the first suspension spring 105, and the first suspension spring 105, in turn, prevents the first roller 22 from moving further, thereby keeping the garment handling device 100 relatively stable. It should be noted that the function of the second suspension spring 106 is basically the same as that of the first suspension spring 105, and will not be repeated here.
[0166] It should be noted that the first suspension spring 105 and the second suspension spring 106 of the multiple suspension spring assemblies are movably connected to the beam and the roller. For example, the first suspension spring 105 and the second suspension spring 106 of the first suspension spring assembly 101 can be connected by hooking, rotation, sliding, or swinging. For example, a groove extending a certain length along the depth direction P2 of the box body 1 is provided on the first side beam 126 and the outer cylinder of the first outer cylinder 22a. One end of the first suspension spring 105 is slidably engaged in the groove of the first side beam 126, and the other end is engaged in the groove on the outer cylinder of the first outer cylinder 22a. For the swinging connection, it is sufficient to allow the first suspension spring 105 to move while rotating relative to both the first side beam 126 and the first outer cylinder 22a. For example, based on the sliding connection, a sliding slider can be provided in the groove, and the end of the first suspension spring 105 can be rotatably connected to the slider.
[0167] It should be noted that the connections between the first spring 105 and the second spring 106 of the second spring assembly 102 and the first outer cylinder 22a, the connections between the first spring 105 and the second spring 106 of the third spring assembly 103 and the second outer cylinder 23a, and the connections between the first spring 105 and the second spring 106 of the fourth spring assembly 104 and the second outer cylinder 23a can be set with reference to the connection method between the first spring 105 and the second spring 106 of the first spring assembly 101 and the first outer cylinder 22a, and will not be elaborated here.
[0168] Of course, in some embodiments, each suspension spring assembly may have only one suspension spring. Alternatively, each suspension spring assembly may have more than two suspension springs. Furthermore, the number of suspension springs in different suspension spring assemblies may be the same or different.
[0169] In some embodiments, referring to FIG22, the first spring 105 of the first spring assembly 101, the first spring 105 of the second spring assembly 102, the first spring 105 of the third spring assembly 103, and the first spring 105 of the fourth spring assembly 104 are correspondingly arranged in the depth direction of the housing 1.
[0170] In some embodiments, referring to FIG22, the second spring 106 of the first spring assembly 101, the second spring 106 of the second spring assembly 102, the second spring 106 of the third spring assembly 103, and the second spring 106 of the fourth spring assembly 104 are respectively arranged in the depth direction of the housing 1.
[0171] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 25 and 26, the first roller 22 and the second roller 23 are spaced apart along the width direction of the housing 1. In the direction from the front plate 111 to the rear plate 115, the first roller 22 and the second roller 23 are inclined downwards along the height direction P3 of the housing 1. Thus, because the two rollers 2 are inclined, the proportion of the garment inlet relative to the rollers 2 can be enlarged when designing the garment inlet of the garment handling device 100, thereby increasing the size of the inlet to a certain extent and facilitating the user to put or take clothes through the inlet.
[0172] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 22 and 23, in the direction from the front plate 111 to the rear plate 115, a first suspension spring 105 and a second suspension spring 106 of each suspension spring assembly are arranged sequentially. Each first suspension spring 105 is inclined in the direction from the rear plate 115 to the front plate 111, and each second suspension spring 106 is inclined in the direction from the front plate 111 to the rear plate 115. It should be noted that when the garment handling device 100 is operating, if the component of the excitation force (i.e., centrifugal force) of the inclined roller 2 in the depth direction P2 of the housing 1 is forward, both rollers 2 have a tendency to move forward, which will stretch the corresponding second suspension spring 106. This causes the second suspension spring 106 to apply a backward component force to the corresponding inclined roller 2 in the depth direction P2 of the housing 1, thereby counteracting the forward component of the excitation force of the roller 2 in the depth direction P2 of the housing 1. If the component of the excitation force of the inclined roller 2 in the depth direction P2 of the housing 1 is backward, then the two rollers 2 have a tendency to move backward, which will stretch the corresponding first suspension spring 105. This causes the first suspension spring 105 to apply a forward component force to the corresponding inclined roller 2 in the depth direction P2 of the housing 1, thereby counteracting the backward component force of the excitation force of the inclined roller 2 in the depth direction P2 of the housing 1. Thus, whether the component force of the excitation force of the inclined roller 2 in the depth direction P2 of the housing 1 is forward or backward, all suspension spring assemblies can play a buffering and shock absorption role, improving the effectiveness of all suspension spring assemblies. Meanwhile, the above-mentioned arrangement allows the connection points of the first suspension spring 105 and the corresponding outer cylinder, and the connection points of the second suspension spring 106 and the corresponding outer cylinder, to be concentrated in the middle of the outer cylinder. This makes the connection points of the first suspension spring 105 and the outer cylinder, and the connection points of the second suspension spring 106 and the outer cylinder, relatively close to the center of mass of the outer cylinder. This avoids the outer cylinder from generating torque, reduces the probability of the outer cylinder rotating, improves the stability of the outer cylinder, and reduces the generation of vibration and noise.
[0173] Referring to Figures 25 and 26, in some embodiments, in the direction from the front plate 111 to the rear plate 115, the first side beam 126, the second side beam 127, the first middle beam 128, and the second middle beam 129 are respectively provided with a first suspension part 1201 and a second suspension part 1202 at intervals. Both the first suspension part 1201 and the second suspension part 1202 extend downwards along the height direction P3 of the housing 1. One end of each first suspension spring 105 is connected to the corresponding first suspension part 1201, and the other end is connected to the corresponding outer cylinder, i.e., the other end of the first suspension spring 105 is connected to the first outer cylinder 22a or the second outer cylinder 23a. One end of the second suspension spring 106 is connected to the corresponding second suspension part 1202, and the other end is connected to the corresponding outer cylinder, i.e., the other end of the second suspension spring 106 is connected to the first outer cylinder 22a or the second outer cylinder 23a. The downward extension height of the first suspension part 1201 is less than the downward extension height of the second suspension part 1202. That is, the protrusion height of the first suspension part 1201 relative to the lower surface of the corresponding beam is less than the protrusion height of the second suspension part 1202 relative to the lower surface of the corresponding beam.
[0174] Taking the first roller 22 as an example, since the outer cylinder of the first roller 22 is inclined downward in the direction from the front plate 111 to the rear plate 115, the outer cylinder of the first roller 22 is closer to the front plate 111 of the box 1 in the depth direction P2 of the box 1, and closer to the top of the box 1. By making the height of the first suspension part 1201 close to the front plate 111 less than the height of the second suspension part 1202 far from the front plate 111, the distance between the first suspension part 1201 and the second suspension part 1202 and the same roller is approximately the same, so that the first suspension spring 105 and the second suspension spring 106 can use suspension springs of the same or similar specifications. Thus, the universal design of the suspension spring assembly 10 of the first suspension spring 105 and the second suspension spring 106 can be realized. Similarly, since the second roller 23 is set with the same inclined configuration as the first roller 22, the same applies to the third suspension spring assembly 103 and the fourth suspension spring assembly 104. By restricting the first suspension portion 1201 and the second suspension portion 1202 on the second middle beam 129 and the second side beam 127, the third suspension spring assembly 103 and the fourth suspension spring assembly 104 can also use suspension springs of the same specification, thereby achieving the commonality of the third suspension spring assembly 103 and the fourth suspension spring assembly 104. When assembling the garment handling device 100, it is not necessary to distinguish between the first suspension spring 105 and the second suspension spring 106, which can reduce the assembly difficulty.
[0175] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 25 and 26, in the direction from the front panel 111 to the rear panel 115, the dimensions of the first suspension portion 1201 and the second suspension portion 1202 decrease downwards along the height direction of the housing 1, such that both the first suspension portion 1201 and the second suspension portion 1202 are approximately inverted triangular in shape. The triangular structure is relatively stable, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the first suspension portion 1201 and the second suspension portion 1202, improving their load-bearing capacity, and extending their service life.
[0176] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 25 and 26, the first suspension portion 1201 and the second suspension portion 1202 are configured as protrusions extending from the first side beam 126, the first middle beam 128, the second middle beam 129, and the second side beam 127. The first suspension spring 105 and the second suspension spring 106 are respectively hooked onto the first suspension portion 1201 and the second suspension portion 1202. In the height direction of the housing 1, the line connecting the hooking positions of the first suspension portion 1201 and the first suspension spring 105 and the second suspension portion 1202 and the second suspension spring 106 is parallel to the axes of the two rollers. That is, the line connecting the hooking positions of the first suspension portion 1201 and the first suspension spring 105 and the second suspension portion 1202 and the second suspension spring 106 is parallel to the axes O1-O1' and O2-O2', respectively. This reduces the structural design difficulty of all beam structures and improves the reliability of all beam structures. Furthermore, since the line connecting the first suspension part 1201 and the first suspension spring 105 and the second suspension part 1202 and the second suspension spring 106 is parallel to the axis of the roller 2, it can be ensured that the distance between the first suspension part 1201 and the first suspension spring 105 and the roller 2, as well as the distance between the second suspension part 1202 and the second suspension spring 106 and the roller 2, remains consistent, thereby ensuring the consistency of the shock absorption effect on the roller 2 when the first suspension spring 105 and the second suspension spring 106 use the same suspension spring.
[0177] In some embodiments, referring to FIG27, the garment handling device 100 may include a water inlet assembly 15 for connecting two rollers 2 and a water source (not shown) to inject water into the two rollers 2.
[0178] In some embodiments, referring to FIG27, the water inlet assembly 15 includes a first water inlet pipe 151 and a second water inlet pipe 152. The first water inlet pipe 151 is used to connect the first outer cylinder 22a and the water source, and the second water inlet pipe 152 is used to connect the second outer cylinder 23a and the water source. In this way, the first water inlet pipe 151 can inject water into the first outer cylinder 22a, and the second water inlet pipe 152 can inject water into the second outer cylinder 23b.
[0179] In some embodiments, referring to FIG27, the first water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152 extend along the depth direction P2 of the housing 1, respectively. The first water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152 are located between the first outer cylinder 22a and the second outer cylinder 23a, and are located above the first outer cylinder 22a and the second outer cylinder 23a along the height direction of the housing 1. The first water inlet pipe 151 is connected to the first central beam 128, and the second water inlet pipe 152 is connected to the second central beam 129. In this way, the first central beam 128 and the second central beam 129, which are used to support the outer shell 11 and the suspension roller 2, are further reused. The first central beam 128 and the second central beam 129 are used to support the first water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152, respectively. This simplifies the internal structure of the garment processing device 100, improves the integration of the garment processing device 100, and helps to realize the miniaturization design of the garment processing device 100.
[0180] In some embodiments, referring to FIG31, the first central beam 128 may include a first front section 128a and a first rear section 128b. One end of the first front section 128a is connected to the front plate 111. Along the depth direction P2 of the housing 1, one end of the first rear section 128b is connected to the other end of the first front section 128a, and the other end of the first rear section 128b is connected to the rear plate 115. Furthermore, in the height direction P3 of the housing 1, the first rear section 128b is at least partially located above the first front section 128a; in other words, the upper surface of the first rear section 128b is higher than the upper surface of the first front section 128a. The portion of the first water inlet pipe 151 near the front plate 111 is fixedly connected to the first front section 128a, and the portion of the first water inlet pipe 151 near the rear plate 115 is fixed to the first rear section 128b. In this way, the portion of the first water inlet pipe 151 extending in the depth direction P2 of the housing 1 can be completely fixed to the first central beam 128, ensuring the overall stability of the first water inlet pipe 151 and preventing the first water inlet pipe 151 from being damaged by vibration when the clothing processing device 100 performs the dehydration process.
[0181] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 27, 31, and 33, the first water inlet pipe 151 may include a first bent section 151a. The first bent section 151a is located on one side of the first front section 128a along the width direction P2 of the housing 1, and the first bent section 151a is fixedly connected to the upper part of the first front section 128a. The end of the first bent section 151a away from the front plate 111 is bent toward the first front section 128a.
[0182] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 30 and 31, the first water inlet pipe 151 may include a first straight pipe segment 151b. The first straight pipe segment 151b is connected to the end of the first bent segment 151a away from the front plate 111. The first rear segment 128b is provided with a first receiving space 133c extending along the depth direction P2 of the housing 1. The first straight pipe segment 151b is partially embedded in the first receiving space 133c to overlap the first rear segment 128b. The first bent segment 151a of the first water inlet pipe 151 is fixedly connected to the first front segment 128a, so that the first water inlet pipe 151 has sufficient fixing strength to ensure the stability of the first water inlet pipe 151. Furthermore, the first straight section 151b of the first water inlet pipe 151 is partially embedded and overlapped with the first rear section 128b. This can further improve the fixing strength of the first water inlet pipe 151. At the same time, by utilizing the embedded design, the space occupied by the first water inlet pipe 151 is reduced, and the compactness of the internal structure of the clothing processing device 100 is improved, which is conducive to realizing the miniaturization design of the clothing processing device 100.
[0183] In some embodiments, referring to FIG32, the second middle beam 129 may include a second front section 129a and a second rear section 129b. One end of the second front section 129a is connected to the front plate 111. Along the depth direction P2 of the housing 1, one end of the second rear section 129b is connected to the other end of the second front section 129a, and the other end of the second rear section 129b is connected to the rear plate 115. Furthermore, in the height direction P3 of the housing 1, the second rear section 129b is at least partially located above the second front section 129a; in other words, the upper surface of the second rear section 129b is higher than the upper surface of the second front section 129a. The portion of the second water inlet pipe 152 near the front plate 111 is fixedly connected to the second front section 129a, and the portion of the second water inlet pipe 152 near the rear plate 115 is fixed to the second rear section 129b. In this way, the portion of the second water inlet pipe 152 extending in the depth direction P2 of the housing 1 can be completely fixed to the second central beam 129, ensuring the overall stability of the second water inlet pipe 152 and preventing the second water inlet pipe 152 from being damaged by vibration when the clothing processing device 100 performs the dehydration process.
[0184] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 27, 32, and 33, the second water inlet pipe 152 may include a second bent section 152a. The second bent section 152a is located on one side of the second front section 129a along the width direction P2 of the housing 1, and is fixedly connected above the second front section 129a. The end of the second bent section 152a away from the front plate 111 is bent toward the second front section 129a.
[0185] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 30 and 32, the second water inlet pipe 152 may include a second straight pipe section 152b. The second straight pipe section 152b is connected to the end of the second bent section 152a away from the front plate 111. The second rear section 129b is provided with a second receiving space 134c extending along the depth direction P2 of the housing 1. The second straight pipe section 152b is partially embedded in the second receiving space 134c to overlap the second rear section 129b. The second bent section 152a of the second water inlet pipe 152 is fixedly connected to the second front section 129a, so that the second water inlet pipe 152 has sufficient fixing strength to ensure the stability of the second water inlet pipe 152. Furthermore, the second straight pipe section 152b of the second water inlet pipe 152 is partially embedded and overlapped with the second rear section 129b. This can further improve the fixing strength of the second water inlet pipe 152. At the same time, by utilizing the embedded design, the space occupied by the second water inlet pipe 152 is reduced, and the compactness of the internal structure of the clothing processing device 100 is improved, which is conducive to realizing the miniaturization design of the clothing processing device 100.
[0186] In some embodiments, referring to FIG33, the laundry handling device 100 further includes a detergent dispensing assembly 16. The detergent dispensing assembly 16 is fixed to the first front section 128a and the second front section 129a. The detergent dispensing assembly 16 is connected to the first water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152. By cooperating with the first water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152, the detergent dispensing assembly 16 allows detergent to enter the first water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152, and mixes with the water flow in the first water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152 before entering the first drum 22 and the second drum 23 respectively, thereby realizing automatic detergent dispensing.
[0187] In some embodiments, referring to FIG33, the detergent dispensing assembly 16 may include a one-way connector 161, which has an inlet 161a, a first dispensing port 161b, and a second dispensing port 161c. The inlet 161a is used to receive detergent, the first dispensing port 161b is connected to a first water inlet pipe 151, and the second dispensing port 161c is connected to a second water inlet pipe 152. When there is water flow in the first water inlet pipe 151, the water flow causes the pressure inside the first water inlet pipe 151 to be lower than the pressure in the one-way connector 161, thereby enabling the detergent in the one-way connector 161 to be drawn into the first water inlet pipe 151 by utilizing the pressure difference. Similarly, the second water inlet pipe 152 also automatically draws detergent through the pressure difference created by the water flow.
[0188] In some embodiments, referring to FIG33, the one-way connector 161 can be disposed above the first front section 128a and the second front section 129a. The first bend 151a of the first water inlet pipe 151 is connected to the first liquid outlet 161b, and the second bend 152a of the second water inlet pipe 152 is connected to the second liquid outlet 161c. It should be noted that since the upper surface of the first front section 128a is located below the upper surface of the first rear section 128b, and the upper surface of the second front section 129a is located below the upper surface of the second rear section 129b, the first front section 128a and the second front section 129a form a space that can accommodate the one-way connector 161. At the same time, the first front section 128a and the second front section 129a can also support the one-way connector 161, thereby ensuring the stability of the detergent dispensing assembly 16.
[0189] It should be noted that the one-way connector 161 is a connector component that ensures that detergent, after entering, can only enter the first water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152 under the action of the water flow in the first water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152, and cannot re-flow into the one-way connector 161 along with the water flow in the first water inlet pipe 151 and the second water inlet pipe 152.
[0190] This disclosure also provides a combined clothing processing device 200, as shown in FIG18. The combined clothing processing device 200 includes a first clothing processing device 201 and a second clothing processing device 202, the second clothing processing device 202 being detachably disposed above the first clothing processing device 201. The first clothing processing device 201 is a drum washing machine, and the second clothing processing device 202 is the clothing processing device 100 of any of the above embodiments.
[0191] It should be noted that the first garment processing device 201 can be a single-tub washing machine or a multi-tub washing machine.
[0192] In some embodiments, the dimensions of the first garment processing device 201 and the second garment processing device 202 in the width direction P1 are equal or substantially equal, or the dimensions of the first garment processing device 201 and the second garment processing device 202 in the width direction P1 differ by no more than 20 mm. For example, the dimension of the first garment processing device 201 in the width direction P1 is 590 mm-610 mm, and correspondingly, the dimension of the second garment processing device 202 in the width direction P1 can also be 590 mm-610 mm.
