AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention provides a detergent supply container for a drum washer that has a separate detachable liquid container for detergent that can be easily removed and replaced. The liquid container is connected to the detergent supply port on the drawable body, ensuring the connection is secure and the pumping power is not compromised. The container also includes a floater to detect the exhaustion of the detergent and a cover plate with a screen to prevent powder detergent from passing through. Additionally, the container includes a distribution plate to evenly and quickly wash out the detergent in the drawable body. These features enhance the reliability and convenience of the detergent supply container for the drum washer.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, as the detergent supply container is drawn from or inserted into the washer body repeatedly, the electrical contacts of the detergent container connect and disconnect with the corresponding electrical contacts of washer body repeatedly, which may incur an electrical instability.

Moreover, as the electrical contacts or the electrical parts of the detergent container are not waterproof from the flow of the liquid detergent or water, it is probable that the troubles or malfunctions of the electrical device may happen.

And, the conventional detergent supply container has a problem that the airtightness or waterproof of the connecting part between the detergent supply container and the washer body deteriorates easily, so pumping operation of the detergent or rinse agent may become worse as the detergent supply container is repeatedly opened and close.
