[0025] The position where the detergent input box device 2 is installed on the front door panel 1 is set as an opening (i.e., the detergent input box opening), and the detergent input box opening is located inside the upper access opening 10, the internal pressing of the upper access opening 10 is a small complete circular concave, the outermost concave of the upper access opening 10 is a complete circular pressing, and the detergent input box opening on the front door panel is located directly below the upper access opening 10. The detergent input box opening is a notch punched on the concave plane, and the notch is a rectangular structure, and the surface where the rectangular cut is located is 20° with the vertical direction.

[0026] The detergent input box device 2 comprises an input box lower cover 20 , an input box upper cover 21 installed together with the input box lower cover 20 , a liquid guide groove 22 , an input port flip cover 23 and a liquid level indicator 26 .

[0027] Ears 200 for mounting on the front door panel 1 are formed on the left and right side surfaces of the lower cover 20 of the input box, and a protruding column 206 is formed on the upper end of the ear 200, and a screw hole is formed at the center of the protruding column 206. A door plate hole 12 is formed on the front door panel 1 at a position opposite to the protruding column 206, and the detergent input box device 2 is mounted on the front door panel 1 by screwing a countersunk screw into the door plate hole 12 and the protruding column 206.

[0028] A boss is formed at the lower end of the ear 200, a screw hole is formed at the center of the boss, and a first notch 201 is formed on the upper surface of the lower cover 20 of the input box at the position in front of the ear 200. The upper cover 21 of the input box is installed on the lower cover 20 between the two ears 200, and a second notch 210 matching the first notch 201 is opened in front of the lower surface of the upper cover 21 of the input box. Connecting ears 211 are formed on the left and right side surfaces of the upper cover 21 of the input box and at the position behind the second notch 210, and a light hole aligned with the boss is also formed on the connecting ear 211. The upper cover 211 of the input box and the lower cover 20 of the input box are installed together by screwing bolts into the light holes and the boss.

[0029] Two baffles 24 arranged in the left and right directions are formed in the space where the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 20 of the input box are installed, and the baffles 24 divide the space where the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 20 of the input box are installed into three independent transfer chambers 25. The lower surfaces of the three independent transfer chambers 25 are respectively connected with connecting pipes 4, and the connecting pipes 4 are connected to the automatic liquid storage chamber delivery component 3. A rotating shaft support seat 202 is formed at the lower end of the front surface of the lower cover 20 of the input box, and a rotating shaft hole is formed on the rotating shaft support seat 202. The liquid level indicator 26 is installed and fixed on the bottom or rear side of the lower cover 20 of the input box to remind the user of the height when the detergent is added.

[0030] The lower end of the inner side surface of the liquid guide groove 22 is convexly bent to form a rotating arm 220, and the tail convexity of the rotating arm 220 forms a rotating shaft 221 pivotally connected to the rotating shaft hole. A plurality of slots 222 are formed through the liquid guide groove 22, and three slide-shaped liquid guide plates 223 are extended on the rear surface of the liquid guide groove 22. The slide-shaped liquid guide plates 223 are located above the transfer chamber 25 so that the detergent in the slide-shaped liquid guide plates 223 can flow into the transfer chamber 25. The left surface of the leftmost slide-shaped liquid guide plate 223 and the right surface of the rightmost slide-shaped liquid guide plate 223 are respectively convex to form a limit axis 224. A limit groove (not marked) is formed on the inner side surface of the lower cover 20 of the input box at a position opposite to the limit axis 224.

[0031] The inlet flap 23 is installed on the front surface of the liquid guiding groove 22, and a plurality of buckles 230 are protruded on the inner surface of the inlet flap 23 and snapped into the snap groove 222, and a buckle handle 231 is formed at the upper end of the inlet flap 23 for conveniently opening the inlet flap 23.

[0032] The working principle of the detergent dispensing box device on the front door panel of the washing machine of the present invention is as follows:

[0033] The inlet flap 23 is a flat cover that follows the profile of the upper take-out port 10. A handle 231 is formed on the upper part of the inlet flap 23 to serve as a handle structure when opening the inlet flap 23. At the same time, a buckle 230 is designed on the back of the inlet flap 23. The liquid guide groove 22 contains three slide-shaped liquid guide plates 223, which are used for drainage when pouring detergent. At the same time, a mounting slot 222 is provided on the front plane of the liquid guide groove 22, which is used for the inlet flap 23 to be tightly fitted with the liquid guide groove 22. There are two rotating arms 220 at the lower part of the liquid guide groove 22, and a raised rotating shaft 221 is provided at the tail of the rotating arm 220 for rotating when the liquid guide groove 22 is opened. At the same time, two raised limiting shafts 224 are provided on both sides of the slide-shaped liquid guide plate 223 to control the opening position after the liquid guide groove 22 is opened.

[0034] In the present invention, the rotating shaft 221 provided on the rotating arm 22 is inserted into the rotating shaft hole of the lower cover 20 of the input box to form a flip device. The liquid guide groove 22 can realize the rotation action of opening and closing through the rotating shaft 221, and when it is opened to the set position, the limiting shafts 224 on both sides are clamped with the limiting groove to realize the limiting effect of the open position.

[0035] Through the buckle 231 of the input port flap 23, the liquid guide groove 22 is flipped open, and the liquid in the detergent bottle is poured into the slide-shaped liquid guide plate 223. The detergent is drained into the transfer chamber 25 in the lower cover 20 of the input box through the liquid guide groove 22. In the detergent box device, within the user's visual range, a liquid level indicator 26 is provided. The liquid level indicator 26 is inserted into the bottom or rear side of the detergent box, which is convenient for reminding the user of the liquid level height when pouring detergent, and is convenient for reminding the user that the detergent has been delivered to prevent the detergent from overflowing outside the box. The detergent passes through the through hole at the bottom of the lower cover 20 of the input box and directly enters the detergent storage cavity corresponding to the automatic delivery component 3 of the storage cavity through the connecting pipe 4. When there is no selectable program to run the washing machine, this automatic delivery component of the storage cavity is provided with three independent storage cavities corresponding to the detergent input box device. When the liquid flows in, it can flow into the cavities of detergent, softener and baby detergent. Usually, when the customer completes the action of delivering the laundry detergent once, the storage cavity will be filled with laundry detergent. When the laundry machine is used, the program is started and the automatic dispensing component works to automatically dispense a corresponding amount of detergent into the corresponding detergent bucket.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
