Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to the technical field of laundry treatment, and in particular to a laundry treatment apparatus. BACKGROUND To meet diverse usage requirements, a laundry treatment apparatus with double drums is increasingly popular. During operation, the drums inevitably generate vibrations. In order to suppress such vibrations, in the related art, vibration damping structures for vibration reduction are configured for the drums. Considering that two drums need to be accommodated simultaneously in a limited space, it is necessary to arrange the vibration damping structures reasonably.
