Description

This disclosure relates to the technology of clothes washing machines, and more specifically, to clothes washing machines. As people's living standards improve, their functional needs for washing machines are increasing, and the number of components in washing machines is also growing. Therefore, how to arrange the washing drum and other components within the limited space inside a washing machine is a crucial area of research in this field. This disclosure aims to provide a clothes washing machine that at least partially solves the technical problems described above. To achieve the above objective, this disclosure provides a clothes washing machine comprising a housing, a first drum, and a second drum, wherein the first and second drums are housed within the housing, and the front panel of the housing is provided with a first opening connected to the opening of the first drum and a second opening connected to the opening of the second drum, and the angle θ between the line connecting the centers of the first and second openings and the horizontal direction is 45° to 85°. Selectively, the angle θ between the line connecting the center of the first opening and the center of the second opening and the horizontal direction is between 55° and 65°. Selectively, at least one of the first drum and the second drum extends horizontally along the front-to-back direction of the housing. Selectively, at least one of the first drum and the second drum is positioned diagonally, such that the height of the front end where the opening of the first drum is located is higher than the height of the rear end of the first drum, and/or the height of the front end where the opening of the second drum is located is higher than the height of the rear end of the second drum. Selectively, the diameter of the second drum is larger than the diameter of the first drum. Selectively, the first drum is positioned above and to the side of the second drum. Selectively, the diameter of the first drum is 150 mm to 200 mm, and/or the diameter of the second drum is 500 mm to 545 mm. Selectively, the length of the line connecting the center of the first opening and the center of the second opening is between 345 mm and 760 mm. Selectively, the first drum is positioned above the second drum, and the washing machine further comprises a display panel component attached to the upper end of the front panel, wherein the distance between the lower end surface of the display panel component and the center of the first opening is a first distance, and the range of the first distance is 70 mm to 110 mm. Selectively, the first drum is positioned above the second drum, where the distance between the top plate of the housing and the center of the first opening is the second distance, and the range of the second distance is 95 mm to 150 mm. Selectively, the first opening is closer to the right-side panel of the housing than the second opening, and the distance from the center of the first opening to the right-side panel is 100 mm to 265 mm, or the first opening is closer to the left-side panel of the housing than the second opening, and the distance from the center of the first opening to the left-side panel is 100 mm to 265 mm. According to the above technical proposal, setting the angle between the line connecting the center of the first opening and the center of the second opening and the horizontal direction to 45° to 85° corresponds to the first and second drums being positioned offset from each other in the height and lateral directions of the washing machine. This is advantageous because it allows the first and second drums to be positioned in a rational location within the housing. Furthermore, after the first and second drums are positioned within the housing, a large storage space can be created for accommodating other components within the washing machine. Additionally, an appropriate distance can be maintained between the centers of the first and second openings in the lateral direction of the housing, and an appropriate distance can be maintained between the centers of the first and second openings in the height direction of the housing. This allows for balancing the weight of the washing machine, reducing vibrations during operation, and reducing or avoiding interference between the door panel of the first opening and the door panel of the second opening. It is also advantageous for reducing or avoiding shielding of the second opening by the door panel of the first opening and shielding of the first opening by the door panel of the second opening. Other features and advantages of this disclosure will be described in detail in the subsequent sections on specific embodiments. The accompanying drawings provide further understanding of this disclosure and constitute part of the specification, and are used to illustrate this disclosure together with the specific embodiments described below, but do not constitute a limitation of this disclosure.
