具体实施方式
下面结合附图和实施例对本申请的实施方式作进一步详细描述。以下实施例用于说明本申请，但不能用来限制本申请的范围。
本申请中，术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”仅用于描述目的，而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性。
请参阅图1和图2，本申请实施例提供一种平衡装置100，平衡装置100包括平衡环1和设置于平衡环1内的平衡器2。
平衡装置100的具体使用场合不限，示例性地，本申请实施例中，以平衡装置100用于衣物处理设备为例进行描述。
示例性地，本申请实施例提供一种衣物处理设备，包括洗涤筒、控制装置以及本申请任意实施例的平衡装置100。平衡环1与洗涤筒同轴布置且与洗涤筒同步运动，也就是说，平衡环1以洗涤筒的转动中心线为圆心。平衡环1和洗涤筒之间可以螺钉、卡扣、焊接等方式固定连接，以使得平衡环1跟随洗涤筒一起转动。
平衡环1可以设置于洗涤筒沿轴向的任意位置处。例如，设置于洗涤筒沿轴向的第一端，或者，设置于洗涤筒沿轴向的第二端，或者，设置于洗涤筒沿轴向的中间位置处等。
每个洗涤筒上可以连接一个或多个平衡环1。
控制装置与平衡器2通讯，以控制平衡器2运动。也就是说，平衡器2的运动是可控的，而不是随机的。
洗涤筒在高速转动时，例如，以大于150转每分钟的速度转动，当洗涤筒内的负载出现偏心时，洗涤筒可能会出现偏心转动，控制装置可以根据洗涤筒的负载偏心情况控制平衡器2在平衡环1运动，来抵消洗涤筒的偏心质量，抑制洗涤筒的偏心振幅，从而减小衣物处理设备的振动。
可以理解的是，衣物处理设备可以是滚筒式的衣物处理设备，也可以 是波轮式的衣物处理设备，在此不做限制。
衣物处理设备可以是洗衣机、干衣机或者洗干一体机等。
请参阅图1和图2，平衡环1包括壳体11、支撑件12以及导电环13。
请参阅图8、图12、图13、以及图17，壳体11内设置有环状的安装腔111a；平衡器2在安装腔111a中运动。需要说明的是，安装腔111a大致以洗涤筒的转动轴线为中心。
请参阅图13和图18，支撑件12设置于安装腔111a中，支撑件12与壳体11相互独立，且与壳体11连接。
需要说明的是，所述的支撑件12与壳体11相互独立指的是，支撑件12单独制造成型，壳体11单独制造成型，在平衡环1装配过程中，两者作为独立的零部件进行组装。
可以理解的是，支撑件12和环壳件在装配过程中可以采用可拆卸连接的方式，例如，螺钉连接、卡接等；也可以采用不可拆卸的连接方式，例如，焊接、熔接等。
导电环13为平衡器2提供电力和通信所需的电源。具体地，平衡器2配置有导电接触部，导电接触部与导电环13保持滑动接触。导电环13的数量至少为两个，平衡器2从至少一个导电环13获取电力，以获取运动所需的电能。平衡器2从另一个导电环13与控制装置互相通信。
可以理解的是，用于供电的导电环13的数量可以是一个，也可以是两个，或者更多个，当其中一个导电环13损坏时，其余导电环13能够继续为平衡器2供电，提升平衡环1的供电可靠性。
用于通信的导电环13的数量可以是一个，也可以是两个，还可以是更多个。当其中一个导电环13损坏时，其余导电环13能够继续为平衡器2通信，提升平衡环1的通信可靠性。
导电环13设置于支撑件12上，导电环13通过支撑件12保持在安装 腔111a中。也就是说，导电环13不会直接安装在壳体11上，而是安装在支撑件12上，通过支撑件12装配至壳体11上。
需要说明的是，壳体11的内径和外径尺寸与洗涤筒的尺寸适配，壳体11的半径较大。壳体11属于大尺寸的薄壁塑料件，在制造过程中，由于精度误差、注塑材料收缩不均、使用过程中局部变形等非预期原因，容易导致壳体11产生非预期的形变。
相关技术中，导电环直接装配在壳体上，当壳体出现非预期的变形后，会迫使导电环出现形变，使得导电环变成非圆形形状，当平衡器在运行过程中，可能会出现平衡器与导电环导电接触不良、甚至造成平衡器断电；此外，当导电环形变较大时，可能导致平衡器卡滞等；在装配过程中，如果壳体出现了较大的非预期形变，导电环套设在壳体上比较困难，甚至可能导致导电环无法装配；再者，由于壳体具有腔体，因此，在注塑模具中会设置一定的拔模斜度，以便于壳体出模，因此，壳体的位于安装腔的径向内表面为倾斜表面，该倾斜表面给导致导电环的安装带来了一定的难度，例如，沿轴向不同位置处的导电环，其对应的壳体的直径是不同的，需要采取一定的措施来弥补来该直径差异。
需要说明的是，所述的非预期形变指的是不属于设计的形变，是不可预期的，例如，因受热、潮湿、塑料老化、注塑材料收缩不均等因素产生的形变。
本申请实施例的平衡环1，将导电环13设置在支撑件12上，可以先将导电环13和支撑件12预装成一个预装整体，再将该预装整体装配至壳体11上，在装配过程中，无论壳体11是否发生非预期的形变，均不影响导电环13的装配，也就是说，能够降低对壳体11的制造精度的要求。
本申请实施例的平衡环1，支撑件12与壳体11分别独立进行制造，支撑件12的尺寸精度更容易控制，使得导电环13在支撑件12上的固定位置 更加可靠，提升导电环13与平衡器2的导电接触可靠性。
需要说明的是，支撑件12可以设置在安装腔111a沿径向的内侧，也可以设置在沿径向的外侧。
示例性地，请参阅图1和图2，壳体11包括壳主体111以及端盖112，安装腔111a设置于壳主体111内。请参阅图13和图18，壳主体111的横断面形状形成大致呈深U型，壳主体111沿轴向的一侧敞开，端盖112封闭壳主体111的敞开处，以使得安装腔111a成为一个封闭的空间，避免洗涤筒中的水液渗入安装腔111a中。
端盖112和壳主体111的连接方式不限，例如，焊接、螺钉连接、卡接、粘接等。在此不做限制。
请参阅图13和图18，支撑件12连接在壳主体111上。装配过程中，先将支撑件12连接在壳主体111上，再将平衡器2装入安装腔111a中，最后再将端盖112装配在壳主体111上。
一些实施例中，支撑件12与壳主体111以不可拆卸的方式连接，例如，超声波焊接、熔接、粘接等。
另一些实施例中，支撑件12可拆卸地连接于壳主体111上。该实施例中，当支撑件12或壳主体111需要更换时，将支撑件12从壳主体111上拆卸下来，只需要更换其中一个即可。
示例性地，请参阅图8和图13，壳体11包括内环板1111、外环板1112以及底板1113，外环板1112环绕在内环板1111的周向，内环板1111和外环板1112同心设置。底板1113连接在内环板1111和外环板1112之间，内环板1111、外环板1112和底板1113共同限定出安装腔111a。
可以理解的是，壳体11为一体成型结构，即内环板1111、外环板1112以及底板1113一体成型。
示例性地，请参阅图13和图18，内环板1111与底板1113的夹角β为 92°～95°，也就是说，内环板1111相对底板1113倾斜了2°～5°，2°～5°作为内环板1111的拔模斜度，便于壳体11脱模。
支撑件12的具体结构形式不限，只要能够便于安装各导电环13即可。
示例性地，请参阅图3，支撑件12包括环状的支撑套121，各导电环13套设在支撑套121上，支撑套121沿周向的任意位置处均能对导电环13起到较好的支撑、定位作用。各导电环13沿支撑套121的轴向间隔布置，也就是说，各个导电环13沿支撑套121的轴向依次排布，如此，能够使得各导电环13之间相互绝缘、互不干涉。
示例性地，支撑套121朝向导向环13一侧的周向表面121a与底板1113垂直。如此，使得各导向环13的尺寸基本相同，各导向环13的内径相等，便于各导电环13可靠地套设并固定在支撑套121上。
示例性地，请参阅图2、图13以及图18，平衡环1包括套设于支撑套121上的绝缘间隔环14，绝缘间隔环14设置于相邻两导电环13之间。绝缘间隔环14能够可靠地将相邻两导电环13进行绝缘间隔，避免两导电环13导电接触。装配时，只需一次将导电环13和绝缘间隔环14套在支撑套121上即可，无需在支撑套121上设置专门的定位机构，一方面能够简化支撑套121的结构，另一方面，也便于装配。
绝缘间隔环14的材质不限，只要采用不导电的材质制成即可，例如，塑料。
需要说明的是，所述的绝缘间隔环14设置于相邻两导电环13之间指的是，绝缘间隔环14的轴向相对两侧均有导电环13，并不限定任意相邻两个导电环13之间均有绝缘间隔环14。
示例性地，请参阅图3、图13以及图18，支撑件12包括设置于支撑套121上的齿环122，齿环122沿支撑套121的周向延伸。具体地，平衡器2上设置有转动齿轮，平衡器2在运动过程中，转动齿轮与齿环122啮合， 如此，能够防止平衡器2在运动过程中打滑，提升平衡器2在运动过程中的平稳性。
示例性地，支撑套121和齿环122一体成型。如此，能够提升齿环122和支撑套121的连接处的结构强度，提升支撑件12的结构可靠性。
示例性地，请参阅图13以及图18，齿环122沿轴向的相对两侧均设置有至少一个导电环13。例如，用于供电的导电环13设置在齿环122的轴向一侧，用于通信的导电环13设置在齿环122的轴向另一侧。
例如，绝缘间隔环14的数量为两个，导电环13的数量为四个，齿环122的轴向任意一侧均设置有两个导电环13和一个绝缘间隔环14，沿支撑套121的轴向，中间的两个导电环13由齿环122进行绝缘间隔，其余的导电环13之间由绝缘间隔环14进行绝缘间隔。
为了便于对导电环13和绝缘间隔环14进行限位，示例性地，请参阅图3、图5以及图6，支撑件12包括设置于支撑套121上的第一弹性卡勾124，第一弹性卡勾124位于齿环122的轴向一侧，绝缘间隔环14以及贴合于绝缘间隔环14轴向相对两侧的导电环13夹设在齿环122和第一弹性卡勾124之间。该实施例中，利用齿环122进行轴向一侧定位，利用第一弹性卡勾124进行轴向另一侧定位，如此，即可实现对位于两者之间的各导电环13和绝缘间隔环14进行定位，简化装配工序、提升装配效率。
例如，以齿环122和第一弹性卡勾124之间夹持一个绝缘间隔环14和两个导电环13为例，装配过程中，依次将第一个导电环13、绝缘间隔环14以及第二个导电环13从支撑套121的轴向一侧套在支撑套121上，第一个导电环13、绝缘间隔环14以及第二个导电环13依次贴合叠置在一起，第一个导电环13与齿环122抵接，第一弹性卡勾124与第二个导电环13背离绝缘间隔环14的一侧抵接，如此，第一弹性卡勾124和齿环122的配合即可将多个导电环13和绝缘间隔环14进行统一的定位，无需为每个导 电环13和绝缘间隔环14进行独立定位，能够简化工序，提升装配效率。
具体地，在齿环122的轴向相对两侧各设置有多个第一弹性卡勾124，位于齿环122的轴向同一侧的各导电环13和绝缘间隔环14夹设在齿环122和对应的第一弹性卡勾124之间。
上述的抵接面的形成方式不限，例如，在支撑套121的周向表面设置一个凸筋11113，凸筋11113沿支撑套121轴向的表面即为该抵接面。
示例性地，请参阅图5和图7，齿环122设置有凸出于其轴端面122a的凸起1221，凸起1221设置在导电环13与轴端面122a之间，以将导电环13和轴端面122a隔开。也就是说，导电环13不会直接接触轴端面122a，而是支撑在凸起1221上。如此能够降低平衡器2上的导电接触部刮刷齿环122的几率，对齿环122起到较好的保护作用。
需要说明的是，支撑套121可以连接在内环板1111上，也可以连接在外环板1112上。
在支撑套121连接在外环板1112上的实施例中，支撑套121和内环板1111之间限定出用于供平衡器2运动的运行空间。
在支撑套121连接在内环板1111的实施例中，支撑套121和外环板1112之间限定出用于供平衡器2运动的运行空间。该实施例中，齿环122位于平衡器2的径向内侧，平衡器2在运动过程中在离心力作用，平衡器2上的齿轮不会挤压齿环122，降低两者的卡滞几率。
本申请实施例中，以支撑套121连接在内环板1111为例进行描述。
示例性地，请参阅图8、图9以及图18，内环板1111朝向支撑套121的一侧设置有多个第二弹性卡勾1114，多个第二弹性卡勾1114沿内环板1111的周向布置。请参阅图4，支撑套121沿径向的内侧表面设置有多个卡接凸起125，第二弹性卡勾1114卡在卡接凸起125背离底板1113的一侧。
装配过程中，支撑套121从内环板1111靠近端盖111的一侧套在内环 板1111的过程中，卡接凸起125迫使第二弹性卡勾1114朝向内环板1111产生弹性形变，当卡接凸起125越过第二弹性卡勾1114后，第二弹性卡勾1114在自身弹力作用下恢复弹性形变，并抵接在卡接凸起125的表面，如此，卡接凸起125受到第二弹性卡勾1114的限制作用，使得支撑件12整体不能从内环板1111上退出来。如此，即可实现支撑件12和内环板1111的快速装配，且无需使用专业工具。
示例性地，请参阅图9、图13以及图18，内环板1111靠近端盖112的一端形成有环槽1111a，环槽1111a朝向端盖112的一侧敞开。支撑套121的靠近端盖112的一端弯折形成有插接筋123，插接筋123从环槽1111a的敞开处插入环槽1111a中。插接筋123和环槽1111a的配合，对支撑套121具有较好的径向限位，减少支撑套121沿径向摆动的可能性。
需要说明的是，环槽1111a沿径向的侧壁，可以是连续的，也可以是断续的侧壁。
示例性地，请参阅图9，内环板1111靠近端盖111的一端沿径向向内弯折以形成缩口环段11111，在弯折处形成朝向端盖112的台阶面1111b，台阶面1111b环绕缩口环段11111设置，台阶面1111b的外边缘处设置有多个筋片11112，多个筋片11112沿台阶面1111b的周向间隔布置。其中，缩口环段11111和各筋片11112共同限定出上述的环槽1111a。
示例性地，请参阅图10，平衡环1包括磁性件16，磁性件16设置于支撑件12上。可以理解的是，平衡器2上设置有霍尔传感器，当平衡器2运动至霍尔传感器与磁性件16相对的位置时，受磁性件16所产生的磁场的影响，霍尔传感器输出脉冲信号，从而可以根据该脉冲信号确定平衡器2当前处于磁性件16对应的位置处。
磁性件16和霍尔传感器的配合，可以用于对平衡器2的位置进行校正。例如，当平衡器2长时间移动后，可能会出现累积的位移误差，因此，可 以通过磁性件16和霍尔传感器来消除平衡器2的位置误差。例如，每隔一段时间，将平衡器2驱动至与磁性件16相对的位置处，并将该位置定义为初始位置，如此，即可对平衡器2的位移进行校正。
示例性地，请参阅图10，平衡环1包括安装块17，磁性件16设置于安装块17上。具体地，安装块17设置有容纳室17a，磁性件16设置于容纳室17a内，如此，只需要磁性件16放置于容纳室17a即可，无需采用其他的连接方式进行连接。例如，容纳室17a的尺寸比磁性件16小，磁性件16卡入容纳室17a后，即可在两者之间的摩擦力作用下保持在容纳室17a中。
当然，也可以设置其他的限位结构对磁性件16进行限位。
请参阅图3和图4，支撑套121设置有装配口12b，安装块17穿设于装配口12b中，磁性件16位于支撑套121朝向导电环13的一侧，也就是说，磁性件16位于平衡器2的运动空间中。
装配口12b能够对安装件17进行沿支撑套12的轴向和周向的限位。
示例性地，安装块17包括穿插部171以及设置于穿插部171沿支撑套121径向一端的凸缘部172，穿插部171穿设于装配口12b中，凸缘部172夹设于支撑套121背离导电环13的一侧和对应的壳体11之间。例如，当支撑套121连接在内环板111的实施例中，凸缘部172夹设于支撑套121和内环板111之间。
容纳室17a位于穿插部171上，以使得磁性件16位于上述的轨道运行空间中。
以支撑套121连接在内环板111为例，装配过程中，将磁性件16置入容纳室17a中，将安装块17从支撑套121的径向内侧向径向外侧的方向穿过装配口12b，直至凸缘部172抵接在支撑套121上，随后，再将支撑套121套在内环板1111上。
示例性地，请参阅图9，内环板1111的周向表面形成有沿轴向延伸的凸筋11113，凸缘部172抵靠在凸筋11113的端部。凸筋11113对安装块17起到沿轴向一侧的定位，防止安装块17向底板1113方向窜动。
可以理解的是，安装块17的轴向另一侧的限位可以由上述的支撑套121的插接筋123的弯折处进行限位。
示例性地，平衡器2的数量为两个或两个以上，安装块17的数量为多个，安装块17的数量不少于平衡器2的数量。
示例性地，多个安装块17沿支撑套121的周向间隔布置，各安装块17中配置的磁性件16的数量互不相同。也就是说，每个安装块17中配置的磁性件16的数量与其余的任一个安装块17中配置的磁性件16的数量均不同。
例如，请参阅图15，本申请实施例的其中一个安装块17中配置的磁性件16的数量为两个；请参阅图16，另一个安装块17中配置的磁性件16的数量为一个。
安装块17中配置的磁性件16的数量不同，则其产生的磁场不同，也就是说，每个安装块17对应处的磁场不同，如此，可以便于对各个平衡器2进行定位，防止平衡器2错位。具体地，每个平衡器2对应一个特定的安装块17的磁场，当需要对各平衡器2的位置进行校正时，平衡器2在运动过程中，当经过与其对应的安装块17时，其能够检测到特殊的、与众不同的磁场，于是即可将该平衡器2停止在该位置处。
在本申请的描述中，参考术语“一个实施例”、“一些实施例”、“示例”、“具体示例”、或“一些示例”等的描述意指结合该实施例或示例描述的具体特征、结构、材料或者特点包含于本申请实施例的至少一个实施例或示例中。在本申请中，对上述术语的示意性表述不是必须针对的是相同的实施例或示例。而且，描述的具体特征、结构、材料或者特点可以在任一个 或多个实施例或示例中以合适的方式结合。此外，在不相互矛盾的情况下，本领域的技术人员可以将本申请中描述的不同实施例或示例以及不同实施例或示例的特征进行结合。
以上所述仅为本申请的较佳实施例而已，并不用于限制本申请，对于本领域的技术人员来说，本申请可以有各种更改和变化。凡在本申请的精神和原则之内，所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等，均应包含在本申请的保护范围内。
