Abstract: A lockable storage device includes a main body defining a connector; and a locking mechanism including a stopping member and a driving plate assembly. The connector defines a receiving space for receiving a port, the stopping member is movable in the receiving space. The driving plate assembly includes a number of driving plates marked with numbers. When a combination of numbers, formed by surfaces which are on a same plane, is different from a predetermined number sequence, the storage device is locked, when the combination of numbers formed by the surfaces is the same as the predetermined number sequence, the storage device is unlocked.

Abstract: A laundry device comprises an outer tub, an inner tub, an inner magnetic ring and an outer magnetic ring. One of the inner magnetic ring and the outer magnetic ring is directly or indirectly fixed on a bottom wall of the inner tub and positioned at the outer side of the bottom wall of the inner tub, and the other one is directly or indirectly fixed on a bottom wall of the outer tub and positioned at the inner side of the bottom wall of the outer tub. An upper end face and a lower end face of the inner magnetic ring have the same polarity as the upper end face and the lower end face of the outer magnetic ring so that a radial repulsion between the inner magnetic ring and the outer magnetic ring is used to suppress vibration of the inner tub and/or the outer tub.

Abstract: A washing machine comprises: an outer drum; an inner drum rotatably disposed in the outer drum; and a rotation mechanism for driving the inner drum to rotate. A rotation shaft of the rotation mechanism extends upwardly from the bottom of the outer drum to a bottom wall of the inner drum to drive the inner drum to rotate. The washing machine further comprises: at least one pair of magnets including an outer ring-shaped magnet and an inner ring-shaped magnet which is disposed at a radial inner side of the outer ring-shaped magnet and opposite to the outer ring-shaped magnet. The inner ring-shaped magnet is disposed on the rotation shaft, and the outer ring-shaped magnet is disposed at the bottom wall of the inner drum or the outer drum, so that a magnetic force between them can reduce a magnitude of vibration of the inner drum or the outer drum.
