Hi how to add double image ? E.g product variants have photo ids like 11111,22222,33333 in the 'product_image_galery' meta. How can I add?

If you're talking about Product Gallery Images, then you can achieve this by:

$attach_ids= "11111,22222,33333";
update_post_meta( $product_id, '_product_image_gallery', $attach_ids);

NOTE: The $product_id would be your parent product id.
