Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present application, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary only for the purpose of explaining the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.

With the improvement of living standard and pace and the improvement of living environment, people have higher and higher requirements for large-capacity clothes treatment equipment. The ultra-large capacity clothes treatment equipment has the defect of non-negligible occupation space, and the clothes treatment equipment with one machine, two barrels and three barrels is appeared along with the defect that the general household can hardly find a comfortable place.

The existing double-barrel clothes treatment equipment is transversely arranged from left to right, and also is arranged in a vertically stacked manner, the vertically stacked clothes treatment equipment can be made into double-barrel clothes treatment equipment, only occupies the space of one clothes treatment equipment, a set of water supply and drainage system is used, clothes can be washed in separate barrels, and the two barrels can be used for washing clothes simultaneously or can be used for spin-drying the clothes while washing the clothes, so that the two barrels are not influenced by each other. The main discussion of this application is about piling up the double drum clothing treatment facility of placing, and the bumper shock absorber of the last cylinder of double drum clothing treatment facility is fixed on the well fishplate bar of frame or vertical beam, and when going up the cylinder dehydration operation, go up the cylinder and will vibrate and transmit frame or box through the bumper shock absorber on, and because it is far away from ground to go up the cylinder, and does not have other parts can absorb vibration energy, can appear that the complete machine vibrates too greatly and the phenomenon that the top rocked, and the user feels relatively poor. In order to solve this problem, some current laundry treating apparatuses reduce the influence of the upper drum on the vibration of the whole machine by completely fixing the upper drum and the lower drum with screws, but thus cannot achieve simultaneous dehydration of the upper drum and the lower drum.

The shock absorber of the upper roller is fixed on the lower roller, and when the upper roller runs, the lower roller can absorb the vibration energy of the upper roller and reduce the vibration noise,
