Washing machine with function of automatic release of additives and method

Abstract

Disclosed are a washing machine with an automatically-added additive and a method. The washing machine comprises an apparatus for automatically adding an additive and an additive accommodating box for accommodating a liquid additive, the additive accommodating box is of a structure of an independently sealed ink box, a washing machine casing is provided with at least one opening, and the additive accommodating box is disposed in the opening in a push-and-pull manner in a one-to-one correspondence, and is / is not in communication with the apparatus for automatically adding an additive. By means of the foregoing washing machine, the additive neither easily deteriorates nor easily condenses after being placed in the additive accommodating box for a long time, thereby improving additive adding convenience, and reducing the number of times a user adds the additive; avoiding that the additive cannot drive blades of a metering apparatus to rotate to perform metering on the additive because the additive is excessively sticky, and meanwhile also avoiding that the metering apparatus is blocked because the additive is coagulated; and avoiding an undesired washing effect caused because different types of additives are mixed up.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of washing machines, in particular to a washing machine and a method for automatically adding additives. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of diversified functions and intelligence of washing machines, higher and higher requirements are put forward for the operation convenience and injection accuracy of detergent injection. The intelligent washing machine that uses liquid for multiple washing cycles reduces the user’s troublesome operation to a certain extent, but the user still needs to buy laundry liquid in bags, bottles, etc. from the market that are not uniformly packaged. Put an appropriate amount of detergent into the detergent storage tank, which is an inherent part of the washing machine. In other words, a bottle or a pack of laundry detergent still needs to be put in multiple times. [0003] The delivery accuracy of detergent is mainly reflected in its delivery method. The deterge...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

It can be seen that this structure can only realize intelligent delivery in units of constant volume space, and the delivery accuracy is only about ±15%-±20%, and it is not yet possible to accurately deliver according to the weight and turbidity of the clothes

In addition, this structure requires two water inlet valves, which increases manufacturing costs and reduces assembly efficiency

[0005] In addition, the existing detergent intelligent delivery structure also has the following defects: (1) the detergent holding tank is not a special detergent holding container after all, and the airtightness cannot be guaranteed, and it will deteriorate if left for a long time; (2) for a For a fixed machine, the structure and number of its storage tanks are determined, generally including the main washing tank, pre-washing tank and softener tank. If you want to use disinfectant, you need to put the disinfectant into the softener tank, so , it is very easy to cause the mixing of different detergents, which affects the use effect of detergents. In addition, detergents of the same type and different brands also need to use the same storage tank, which also causes confusion of detergents; The detergent box usually does not have a special detergent box, that is, if you want to use detergent, you need to pour the detergent directly onto the clothes in the washing tub before washing, which not only damages the clothes but also is not easy to dissolve; (4) The detergent box is difficult to clean
