The back of the laundry treatment device is generally set toward the wall, so its appearance is less demanding.

On the other hand, in the present invention, the provision of the first rear cover and the second rear cover is more advantageous for the user to install and disassemble the condenser than when only one cover is provided. In the actual disassembly process, the user only needs to disassemble. The first rear cover replaces the condenser without removing the second rear cover, thus greatly reducing the difficulty of replacing the condenser.

Preferably, the opening is disposed on a side of the rear support, and the base is provided with a condenser installation cavity corresponding to the opening, and the installation opening of the condenser installation cavity is opened on the rear side of the base and disposed opposite to the opening;

In the above aspect, by arranging the opening on the side of the rear support side, the condenser is installed between the first laundry treatment cylinder and the second laundry treatment cylinder near the left or right side of the laundry treating apparatus According to the structure of the first laundry treatment cylinder and the second laundry treatment cylinder, the position between the first laundry treatment cylinder and the second laundry treatment cylinder in the laundry treatment apparatus near the left and right sides is the largest, and the rear support is The provision of the opening on one side edge just mounts the condenser at this position, thereby making full use of the structural features of the twin laundry treatment equipment, saving the internal space of the twin laundry treatment equipment.

Preferably, the condenser has a rectangular parallelepiped structure and is disposed in parallel with the axis of the two laundry treatment cylinders.

In the above aspect, the condenser is designed to have a rectangular parallelepiped structure and is disposed in parallel with the axis of the two laundry treatment cylinders to further save the internal space of the laundry treating apparatus.

Preferably, the base is further provided with a condenser cooling air duct, and the air inlet of the condenser cooling air duct is disposed at a side or a back of the laundry treating device;

In the above solution, by setting the air inlet of the cooling air duct on the side or the back side of the laundry treating device, the integral structure of the front panel of the whole machine is also retained, so that the front panel has integralness, which is beneficial to the appearance of the front panel and improves the clothing. The aesthetics of the processing device has been significantly improved, and at the same time, it is beneficial to enhance the structural strength of the front panel.

The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and any technology that is familiar with the present patent. A person skilled in the art can make a slight modification or modification to the equivalent embodiment without departing from the technical scope of the present invention, without departing from the technical solution of the present invention, the technology according to the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments are still within the scope of the present invention.
