Abstract

The present invention relates to a clothing washing device, including a cabinet, a first drum, and a second drum. The first drum and the second drum are arranged in the cabinet, and the first drum is located above the second drum. A height H1 of the cabinet is greater than 900 mm and less than 1200 mm. The cabinet of the clothing washing device provided by the present invention has a suitable internal space, which can meet the arrangement and installation of the first drum, the second drum, and other components within the cabinet, thereby enabling the clothing washing device to have richer laundry treating capabilities. Moreover, the higher cabinet can provide a larger arrangement space for the first drum and the second drum, which enables the diameters of the first drum and the second drum to be designed larger, thereby facilitating an increase in the capacity of the first drum and the second drum and improving the wash performance ratio of the clothing washing device. It is beneficial for balancing the weight of the clothing washing device and reducing vibration during operation of the clothing washing device while avoiding interference between a drum door of the first drum and a drum door of the second drum.

Description

FIELD The present invention relates to the technical field of clothing washing devices, and in particular, to a clothing washing device. BACKGROUND With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the functional requirements for clothing washing devices are increasing, and the types and quantities of components in clothing washing devices are also increasing. Therefore, how to facilitate the arrangement of washing drums and other components within the limited space of a washing machine has become a research direction. SUMMARY The purpose of the present invention is to provide a clothing washing device to at least partially solve the above technical problems. To achieve the above objective, the present invention provides a clothing washing device, including a cabinet, a first drum, and a second drum, in which the first drum and the second drum are arranged in the cabinet, and the first drum is located above the second drum, a height H1 of the cabinet is greater than 900 mm and less than 1200 mm. Optionally, a front panel of the cabinet is provided with a first clothing access opening and a second clothing access opening, the first clothing access opening is connected to an opening of the first drum, and the second clothing access opening is connected to an opening of the second drum, an angle θ between a line that connects the center of the first clothing access opening and the center of the second clothing access opening and a horizontal direction is greater than 0° and less than 90°. Optionally, the first drum is located laterally above the second drum, a front panel of the cabinet is provided with a first clothing access opening and a second clothing access opening, the first clothing access opening is connected to an opening of the first drum, and the second clothing access opening is connected to an opening of the second drum, a height H2 of a bottom of the first clothing access opening is greater than a height H3 of a top of the second clothing access opening. Optionally, the cabinet is provided with a first drum door and a second drum door, the first drum door is used for covering or uncovering the first clothing access opening, and the second drum door is used for covering or uncovering the second clothing access opening, a bottom of the first drum door is higher than a top of the second drum door. Optionally, a height H4 of the bottom of the first drum is greater than the height H3 of the top of the second clothing access opening; and the height H4 of the bottom of the first drum is less than a height of the top of the second drum. Optionally, a front panel of the cabinet is provided with a first clothing access opening and a second clothing access opening, the first clothing access opening is connected to an opening of the first drum, and the second clothing access opening is connected to an opening of the second drum, a height H2 of a bottom of the first clothing access opening is not greater than a height H3 of a top of the second clothing access opening. Optionally, the height H1 of the cabinet is greater than 1050 mm and less than 1200 mm. Optionally, the height H1 of the cabinet is greater than 900 mm and less than 1050 mm. Optionally, a diameter of the first drum is 150 mm to 200 mm, and/or a diameter of the second drum is 500 mm to 570 mm. Optionally, a distance L1 from a center of the first drum to a bottom panel of the cabinet is 670 mm to 1000 mm. Optionally, a distance L2 from a center of the second drum to a bottom panel of the cabinet is 470 mm to 535 mm. Through the above technical solution, setting the height H1 of the cabinet to be greater than 900 mm and less than 1200 mm can provide the cabinet with a suitable internal space, which meets the arrangement and installation of the first drum, the second drum, and other components within the cabinet, thereby enabling the clothing washing device to have richer laundry treating capabilities. For example, a user can selectively use the first drum or the second drum to treat laundry, or use both the first drum and the second drum simultaneously to treat laundry. Moreover, the higher cabinet can provide a larger arrangement space for the first drum and the second drum, which enables the diameters of the first drum and the second drum to be designed larger, thereby facilitating an increase in the capacity of the first drum and the second drum and improving the wash performance ratio of the clothing washing device. Furthermore, by setting the height H1 of the cabinet to greater than 900 mm and less than 1200 mm, compared to cabinets used in related art, by appropriately increasing the height H1 of the cabinet, the present invention allows for increasing the distance between the center of the first drum and the center of the second drum in the height direction of the cabinet, and reducing the distance between the center of the first drum and the center of the second drum in the width direction (left-right direction) of the cabinet
