[0039] The following is a further detailed description of the implementation of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present application but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0040] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "pull-out direction", "top", "bottom", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0041] The embodiment of the present application provides a dispenser box, comprising a box body 1 and a pressing mechanism.

[0042] The embodiment of the present application also provides a detergent dispensing device, comprising a detergent box and a dispenser box of any embodiment of the present application, wherein the dispenser box is retractably disposed in the detergent box. Before washing clothes, the user pulls the dispenser box out of the detergent box to dispense detergent, and after the detergent is dispensed, the dispenser box is pushed into the detergent box.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the detergent dispensing device is applied to a clothing processing device as an example for description.

[0044] See also Figure 2 as well as Fig.10The box body 1 is provided with a liquid storage chamber 101 for holding detergent, a delivery chamber 102 for receiving the incoming water flow, and a flow passage 103 for connecting the liquid storage chamber 101 and the delivery chamber 102. The detergent is stored in the liquid storage chamber 101, and the capacity of the liquid storage chamber 101 can provide the amount of detergent required for multiple laundry washings, for example, 5 times, 10 times, 20 times, 50 times, 100 times, etc. The detergent in the liquid storage chamber 101 can flow into the delivery chamber 102 through the flow passage 103, and after the incoming water flow enters the delivery chamber 102, the incoming water flow carries the detergent out of the delivery chamber 102.

[0045] It should be noted that the detergent is in liquid form and can be a liquid with a higher viscosity, such as laundry detergent, softener, etc.; it can also be a liquid with a lower viscosity, for example, disinfectant, etc.

[0046] The pressing mechanism is used to close the flow channel 103. The pressing mechanism can move relative to the box body 1, and the pressing mechanism can switch from a closed state of closing the flow channel 103 to an open state of opening the flow channel 103 under the action of an external force. In other words, the pressing mechanism can selectively close or open the flow channel 103.

[0047] It is understandable that the pressing mechanism can be movably connected to the box body 1 , and can also be movably connected to other structures outside the box body 1 .

[0048] It should be noted that the external force refers to a force outside the clothing processing device, for example, a force applied by a user.

[0049] When there is no need to put detergent into the delivery chamber 102, the pressing mechanism is in a state of closing the flow channel 103, that is, the pressing mechanism is in a closed state of closing the flow channel 103 by default. When it is necessary to release detergent into the delivery chamber 102, force is applied to the pressing mechanism so that the pressing mechanism switches from the closed state of closing the flow channel 103 to the open state of opening the flow channel 103, and the detergent in the liquid storage chamber 101 flows into the delivery chamber 102 through the flow channel 103. It should be noted that the user can control the time when the pressing mechanism is in the open state according to the required amount of detergent. When the amount of detergent is sufficient for a single wash of clothes, the pressing mechanism is placed in a closed state of closing the flow channel 103. In other words, the detergent put into the delivery chamber 102 is the detergent required for a single wash of clothes.

[0050] After the incoming water flows into the delivery chamber 102 , the incoming water flows out of the delivery chamber 102 carrying the detergent.

[0051] The dispenser box of the embodiment of the present application does not need to use a liquid pump to quantitatively extract detergent, and can achieve on-demand delivery of detergent through manually operated pressing mechanism. In other words, there is no need to add electrical components to achieve on-demand delivery of detergent, and the cost is low. In addition, the detergent required for multiple washes can be added to the liquid storage chamber 101 at one time, and there is no need to add detergent to the dispenser box every time before washing clothes, which reduces the frequency of users adding detergent and improves user experience.

[0052] It should be noted that the detergent dispensing device is provided with a drainage channel for the dispensing chamber 102 , and the water flow and detergent entering the dispensing chamber 102 are discharged from the dispensing chamber 102 through the drainage channel.

[0053] Before the incoming water flow enters the delivery chamber 102 , the detergent entering the delivery chamber 102 may be at least partially discharged from the delivery chamber 102 through the drainage channel, or may be completely accumulated in the delivery chamber 102 .

[0054] Exemplarily, the discharge channel is constructed as follows: the delivery chamber 102 can store detergent from the liquid storage chamber 101, and the inflow water flow entering the delivery chamber 102 can be discharged from the dispenser box through the discharge channel. That is to say, before the inflow water flow enters the delivery chamber 102, the detergent entering the delivery chamber 102 from the liquid storage chamber 101 will not flow out of the delivery chamber 102, but will be accumulated in the delivery chamber 102. After the inflow water flow enters the delivery chamber 102, the inflow water flow carries the detergent and is discharged from the dispenser box. Since the detergent released into the delivery chamber 102 is accumulated in the delivery chamber 102, the user can see the amount of detergent that has been delivered during the process of releasing the detergent, so that the user can grasp the time when the pressing mechanism opens the flow channel 103, thereby improving the accuracy of the amount of detergent delivered.

[0055] It should be noted that the dispenser box needs to satisfy the requirement that the user can see the detergent in the delivery cavity 102. For example, in some embodiments, the delivery cavity 102 is exposed to the external field of view of the dispenser box, that is, the user can see the detergent in the delivery cavity 102 from the outside of the dispenser box during the use of the dispenser box. For example, no shielding structure is provided above the delivery cavity 102, or a transparent shielding structure is provided above the delivery cavity 102.

[0056] It is understandable that after the user manually drives the pressing mechanism from the closed state to the open state, the user can manually reset the pressing mechanism from the open state to the closed state, or the pressing mechanism can be automatically reset, that is, there is no need for the user to manually reset it.

[0057] For example, in some embodiments, the dispenser box includes an elastic reset member 4, which can drive the pressing mechanism to reset from the open state to the closed state, that is, the elastic reset member 4 drives the pressing mechanism to automatically reset. For example, the user applies force to the pressing mechanism, so that the pressing mechanism switches from the closed state to the open state, and remains in the open state for a certain period of time, after which the user releases the pressing mechanism, that is, the external force is withdrawn, and the elastic reset member 4 drives the pressing mechanism to automatically reset to the closed state.

[0058] The specific structure of the elastic reset member 4 is not limited, and it can be a cylindrical spring, a torsion spring, etc., and no limitation is made here.

[0059] There is no limitation on the way of water entering the delivery chamber 102. For example, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 ,as well as Fig. 9 , the top side of the delivery chamber 102 is open to form a water inlet 1d, which is convenient for receiving the water flow from the top of the upper dispenser box. Specifically, the detergent box includes a shell and an upper cover, the upper cover is arranged on the top side of the upper cover, and the shell and the upper cover together define a pull-out space for accommodating the dispenser box. The upper cover is provided with a water inlet channel and a water outlet, and water from an external water source enters the water inlet channel. The water outlet is located above the water inlet 1d of the delivery chamber 102, and the water in the water inlet channel flows downward from the water outlet and flows into the delivery chamber 102 through the water inlet 1d, thereby realizing water injection into the delivery chamber 102. In this way, there is no need to set an additional water inlet pipe on the box body 1, which is convenient for simplifying the structure of the box body 1; in addition, since the dispenser box needs to be pulled out frequently, the delivery chamber 102 of this embodiment can reduce the position accuracy requirements for the dispenser box, which is convenient for the box body 1 to enter water.

[0060] Exemplarily, the shell of the detergent box is provided with a mixing tank located below the pull-out space and a total water outlet connected to the mixing tank. After the detergent and water are mixed in the delivery chamber 102, they flow into the mixing tank and then enter the washing chamber of the clothing processing device through the total water outlet. The drainage method of the drainage channel is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, the bottom wall corresponding to the delivery chamber 102 is provided with a water outlet, and the liquid in the delivery chamber 102 is discharged from the dispenser box through the water outlet under the action of its own gravity. It can be understood that the position of the water outlet is as far as possible at the lowest position of the delivery chamber 102, so as to empty the liquid in the delivery chamber 102 as much as possible.

[0061] Exemplarily, in other embodiments, the liquid in the delivery chamber 102 is discharged through the siphon principle, that is, the discharge channel is a siphon channel. Before the delivery chamber 102 is filled with water, the detergent entering the delivery chamber 102 will be temporarily stored in the delivery chamber 102 and will not be discharged. When the delivery chamber 102 is filled with water to the siphon height, the water carrying the detergent is discharged through the siphon channel.

[0062] The siphon channel is formed in any manner. For example, see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the dispenser box includes a siphon tube 31, the water inlet end of the siphon tube 31 extends into the delivery cavity 102, the middle part of the siphon tube 31 arches up to the top of the side wall of the delivery cavity 102, and the water outlet end of the siphon tube 31 is arranged around the outside of the delivery cavity 102. The space inside the siphon tube 31 is the siphon channel, and the liquid in the delivery cavity 102 is discharged from the dispenser box through the siphon tube 31.

[0063] It should be noted that, since the user needs to pull the dispenser box out of the detergent box before washing, the arrangement of the siphon tube 31 should avoid interference with the detergent box. Figure 1 The siphon tube 31 is located at the rear end of the box body 1 along the direction of pulling the dispenser box, and the delivery cavity 102 is located at the rear side of the liquid storage cavity 101, which is convenient for arranging the siphon tube 31.

[0064] In some other embodiments, please refer to Fig.11 The bottom wall of the delivery chamber 102 is provided with a second liquid outlet 1b, see Figure 7 , Figure 8 ,as well as Fig. 9 The dispenser box includes a first siphon cap 32, which is arranged at the second liquid outlet 1b in the delivery chamber 102. When water enters the delivery chamber 102 to the siphon height, the water carrying detergent flows through the first siphon cap 32 and the second liquid outlet 1b.

[0065] The specific form of the flow channel 103 is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, a partition is provided between the liquid storage chamber 101 and the delivery chamber 102, and the flow channel can be a through hole that penetrates the partition. In other embodiments, the flow channel 103 can also be a flow channel with a certain extension length, wherein the flow channel 103 can extend in a straight line, in a curve, or in a bend, which is not limited here. It is understood that the liquid flow path in the flow channel 103 should be as short as possible to reduce the flow resistance of the detergent.

[0066] Understandably, see Figure 3 and Fig.10 The inlet 103 a of the flow channel 103 is arranged on the inner surface of the liquid storage chamber 101 , and the outlet 103 b of the flow channel 103 is arranged on the inner surface of the delivery chamber 102 .

[0067] For example, please refer to Figure 3 and Fig.10The inlet 103a of the flow channel 103 is arranged on the bottom surface 101b of the liquid storage chamber 101. In this way, the position of the inlet 103a of the flow channel 103 can be minimized. Even if the amount of detergent in the liquid storage chamber 101 is small, the detergent can enter the delivery chamber 102 from the flow channel 103.

[0068] For some examples, see Figure 3 and Fig.10 , the bottom surface 101b of the liquid storage chamber 101 is higher than the bottom surface 102c of the delivery chamber 102, that is, there is a certain height difference between the two. The inlet 103a of the flow passage 103 is located on the bottom surface of the liquid storage chamber 101, and the outlet 103b of the flow passage 103 is located on the side surface 102d of the delivery chamber 102 close to the liquid storage chamber 101, and the position of the inlet 103a is higher than the position of the outlet 103b. When the pressing mechanism opens the flow passage 103, due to the height difference between the inlet 103a and the outlet 103b, it is convenient for the detergent to quickly flow into the delivery chamber 102.

[0069] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Fig. 9 , at least a portion of the liquid storage chamber 101 is located in front of the delivery chamber 102. It can be understood that the "front" can be the front or the side front, as long as at least a portion of the liquid storage chamber 101 is closer to the delivery chamber 102. In this embodiment, after the user pulls the dispenser box out of the detergent box, since at least a portion of the liquid storage chamber 101 is closer to the user, it is convenient for the user to add detergent to the liquid storage chamber 101.

[0070] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 as well as Fig. 9 , a visual mark 15 for indicating the liquid level height in the dispensing cavity 102 is provided on the side wall of the dispensing cavity 102, and the visual mark 15 is exposed to the external field of vision of the dispenser box, that is, the user can observe the visual mark 15 from the outside of the dispenser box. In this embodiment, the visual mark 15 can provide a capacity reference, so that the user can directly know the current amount of detergent in the dispensing cavity 102 without the user having to guess by feeling, thereby improving the user experience and the accuracy of the amount of detergent dispensed.

[0071] The specific form of the visual mark 15 is not limited. For example, it can be a scale line set on the side wall of the delivery cavity 102, or a ribbon of different colors, or a pattern of different patterns, or text, etc.

[0072] It should be noted that the position of the visual mark 15 needs to be convenient for the user to observe during use. For example, at least one side wall of the delivery cavity 102 can be set as an inclined side wall, and the visual mark 15 can be set on the inclined side wall.

[0073] It should be noted that before washing, the user will pull out the detergent box from the detergent box, but will only pull out a portion of it, and will not completely separate the entire detergent box from the detergent box. Therefore, even if the detergent box is pulled out, the rear end of the detergent box is still located in the detergent box, and the user cannot easily see the rear end of the dispenser box. Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 9 The dispensing chamber 102 includes a first sub-area 102a and a second sub-area 102b that are connected, the first sub-area 102a is located at the rear end of the box body 1, the second sub-area 102b extends forward from the front side of the first sub-area 102a, and the second sub-area 102a is located on one lateral side of the liquid storage chamber 101. In other words, the second sub-area 102b and the liquid storage chamber 101 are arranged side by side along the left-right direction of the dispenser box.

[0074] The visual mark 15 is arranged on the inner surface of the second sub-area 102b. Since the second sub-area 102b extends forward for a distance, when the user takes out the dispenser box, the second sub-area 102b is more easily visible to the user. Therefore, the visual mark 15 is arranged on the side surface of the second sub-area 102b to facilitate the user to view the visual mark 15.

[0075] For example, see Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 as well as Fig. 9 The inner surface of the front side of the second sub-area 102b is an inclined surface 102b' that is inclined upward, that is, the inclined surface 102b' is inclined upward, and the visual mark 15 is set on the inclined surface 102b'. After the user takes out the dispenser box, when the user looks down at the dispenser box, the user can see the visual mark 15 more clearly and easily.

[0076] Exemplarily, the delivery chamber 102 receives the water flow through the second sub-area 102b, and the drainage channel is arranged in the first sub-area 102a.

[0077] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the dispenser box includes a cover 5, which is disposed on the top of the box body 1 and covers the liquid storage cavity 101. The cover 5 can prevent foreign matter or dust from entering the liquid storage cavity 101, so that the detergent in the liquid storage cavity 101 remains clean.

[0078] The shape of the cover 5 is roughly adapted to the contour of the liquid storage cavity 101. It should be noted that the cover 5 does not cover the delivery cavity 102, so that the delivery cavity 102 can receive the incoming water flow.

[0079] The cover 5 can be made of a light-transmitting material, so that the user can intuitively see the remaining detergent capacity in the liquid storage chamber 101, which is convenient for the user to add detergent immediately. It is understandable that the cover 5 can also be made of an opaque material, which is not limited here.

[0080] The setting position of the pressing mechanism is not limited, and it can be set in the liquid storage chamber 101 or in the delivery chamber 102. In the embodiment where the pressing mechanism is set in the liquid storage chamber 101, the pressing mechanism closes the inlet 103a of the flow passage 103. In the embodiment where the pressing mechanism is set in the delivery chamber 102, the pressing mechanism closes the outlet 103b of the flow passage 103.

[0081] The connection method between the pressing mechanism and the box body 1 is not limited, as long as the pressing mechanism can move relative to the box body 1 .

[0082] In some embodiments, the pressing mechanism can reciprocate linearly relative to the box body 1. For example, the pressing mechanism reciprocates linearly along the up and down directions of the box body 1. Exemplarily, when the user needs to release the detergent in the liquid storage chamber 101 to the delivery chamber 102, the user pulls the pressing mechanism upward, and the pressing mechanism moves upward, so that the pressing mechanism is separated from the inlet 103a of the flow channel 103, and the pressing mechanism is in an open state of opening the flow channel 103; when the flow channel 103 needs to be closed, the user can manually press the pressing mechanism, so that the pressing mechanism moves downward to block the inlet 103a, and the pressing mechanism is in a closed state of closing the flow channel 103. It can be understood that in an embodiment with an elastic reset member 4, when the flow channel 103 needs to be closed, the user releases the pressing mechanism, and the elastic reset member 4 automatically drives the pressing mechanism to move downward to the position of blocking the inlet 103a.

[0083] For example, in some other embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig.10 as well as Fig.12 The pressing mechanism is a lever mechanism 2, the lever mechanism 2 is rotatably connected to the box body 1, and the rotation connection point is the lever fulcrum O.

[0084] Specifically, see Fig.12The lever mechanism 2 includes a pressing portion 22 for pressing, a sealing portion 23 for closing the flow channel 103, and a bending rod portion 21 connecting the pressing portion and the sealing portion 23. The lever mechanism 2 is rotatably connected to the box body 1 or the cover body 5 through the bending rod portion 21, that is, the lever fulcrum O is located on the bending rod portion 21, and the pressing portion 22 and the sealing portion 23 are located on opposite sides of the lever fulcrum.

[0085] For example, the user presses the pressing portion 22 downward, and the external force drives the lever mechanism 2 to move along the lever fulcrum. Fig.10 The sealing portion 23 is rotated counterclockwise by a certain angle. Fig.10 The flow passage 103 can be opened by moving upward in the middle.

[0086] In this embodiment, the user's force is applied downward, which is ergonomic and convenient for the user to apply force. In addition, it is also convenient to arrange the pressing portion 22 and the inlet 103a of the flow channel 103. Specifically, the inlet 103a of the flow channel 103 needs to be as close to the delivery chamber 102 as possible, and the pressing portion 22 needs to have a suitable pressing size. The lever mechanism 2 can make the pressing portion 22 and the inlet 103a of the flow channel 103 staggered.

[0087] In the embodiment with the elastic reset member 4, the torque applied by the elastic reset member 4 to the lever mechanism 2 is opposite to the torque applied by the external force to the lever mechanism 2. Fig.10 The elastic reset member 4 exerts a counterclockwise torque on the lever mechanism 2. Fig.10 The clockwise torque in .

[0088] The elastic reset member 4 may be a torsion spring. Specifically, the torsion spring is coaxially arranged with the rotation center line of the lever mechanism 2. The elastic reset member 4 may also be a compression spring or a tension spring, and the position of the reset member 4 can be any position as long as it can apply a resetting torque to the lever mechanism 2.

[0089] Exemplarily, the pressing portion 22 is located in front of the lever fulcrum O, and the sealing portion 23 is located behind the lever fulcrum O. The rotation axis of the lever mechanism 2 is arranged roughly horizontally along the left-right direction of the dispenser box. In this embodiment, the pressing portion 22 is closer to the user than the sealing portion 23, which is convenient for the user to apply force on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is convenient to arrange the sealing portion 23 and the inlet 103a of the flow passage 103 further back.

[0090] The specific installation method of the lever mechanism 2 is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, Figure 7 and Figure 8The box body 1 has at least two supports 13 protruding from the bottom surface 101b of the liquid storage chamber 101, and the bent rod portion 21 is rotatably supported on the supports 13. In this embodiment, the supports 13 are located at the bottom of the box body 1, and the supports 13 bear the force applied by the external force to the lever mechanism 2, and transmit the force to the bottom of the box body 1. The bottom of the box body 1 is subjected to positive pressure, which improves the stress condition at the junction of the supports 13 and the bottom surface 101b of the liquid storage chamber 101, and the junction of the supports 13 and the bottom surface 101b of the liquid storage chamber 101 is not easy to crack.

[0091] For example, see Fig.12 The bent rod portion 21 is provided with protruding shaft portions 21b on both lateral sides, and the support 13 is provided with a shaft hole, and the shaft portion 21b is rotatably matched with the shaft hole.

[0092] The specific shape of the support 13 is not limited, as long as it can be used to install and support the lever mechanism 2. For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the support 13 is a sheet structure. The sheet support 13 can reduce the flow resistance of the detergent and is also convenient for the user to clean the dispenser box.

[0093] In other embodiments, the bent rod portion 21 can be rotatably supported on the side wall of the box body 1 .

[0094] In the embodiment with the cover 5, please refer to Figure 3 , the bent rod 21 can also be rotated to be connected to the bottom of the cover 5, that is, the cover 5 supports and positions the lever mechanism 2. Specifically, a hanging ear 51 is provided on the bottom side of the cover 5, and the bent rod 21 is rotatably connected to the hanging ear 51. In this embodiment, if the cover 5 can be removed from the box body 1, the cover 5 can be removed together with the lever mechanism 2, which is convenient for the user to clean the box body 1. In addition, during the assembly process, the lever mechanism 2 and the cover 5 can be assembled into a pre-assembled whole first, which has a large assembly space and flexible operation, and then the pre-assembled whole can be covered on the box body 1.

[0095] Exemplarily, the pressing portion 22 is substantially disc-shaped, which is convenient for the user's fingers to apply pressure.

[0096] For example, in some embodiments, the sealing portion 23 is made of elastic material, such as silicone, rubber, etc., to improve sealing reliability and reduce the possibility of leakage. In other embodiments, the sealing portion 23 and the bent rod portion 21 are made of the same material, such as an integrally formed plastic part, metal part, etc.

[0097] The specific shape of the bent rod portion 21 is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Fig.10 as well as Fig.12The bending rod portion 21 includes a crossbar 211, a first longitudinal rod 212 and a second longitudinal rod 213. The lever fulcrum O is located on the crossbar 211. The first longitudinal rod 212 extends upward from the first end of the crossbar 211. The pressing portion 22 is disposed at the top of the first longitudinal rod 212. The second longitudinal rod 213 extends downward from the second end of the crossbar 211. The sealing portion 23 is disposed at the bottom of the second longitudinal rod 213. The first longitudinal rod 212, the crossbar 211 and the second longitudinal rod 213 generally form a stepped structure.

[0098] The connection method between the sealing portion 23 and the second longitudinal rod 213 is not limited. For example, please refer to Fig.12 The circumferential surface of the second longitudinal rod 213 is provided with an annular groove 21a, the sealing portion 23 is sleeved on the second longitudinal rod 213 and a part of the structure of the sealing portion 23 is embedded in the annular groove 21a, so that the sealing portion 23 can be assembled on the second longitudinal rod 213 without other fasteners, the assembly method is simple, and the probability of the sealing portion 23 being separated from the second longitudinal rod 213 can be reduced.

[0099] For some examples, see Figure 3 and Fig.10 In the embodiment equipped with the elastic reset member 4, the lever mechanism 2 includes a positioning rod 214 protruding from the upper surface or the lower surface of the cross bar 211. That is, the positioning rod 214 extends downward from the bottom side of the cross bar 211, or the positioning rod 214 extends upward from the top side of the cross bar 211. The elastic reset member 4 is a spring, and the spring is sleeved on the positioning rod 214. It should be noted that the arrangement of the positioning rod 214 and the spring needs to satisfy that the spring is compressed during the process of pressing the pressing portion 22.

[0100] Specifically, see Figure 3 In the embodiment where the positioning rod 214 is located at one end of the lever fulcrum O close to the sealing portion 23 , the positioning rod 214 protrudes from the upper surface of the cross bar 211 , and the positioning rod 214 extends upward from the top side of the cross bar 211 .

[0101] See also Fig.10 In the embodiment where the positioning rod 214 is located at one end of the lever fulcrum O close to the pressing portion 22 , the positioning rod 214 protrudes from the lower surface of the cross bar 211 , and the positioning rod 214 extends downward from the bottom side of the cross bar 211 .

[0102] For example, see Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 The cover body 5 is provided with a mounting hole 5a penetrating the cover body 5, and the pressing portion 22 is provided in the mounting hole 5a. The shape of the mounting hole 5a is roughly adapted to the pressing portion 22, and a certain gap needs to be reserved between the periphery of the pressing portion 22 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 5a to reduce the friction resistance between the pressing portion 22 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 5a during movement.

[0103] The box body 1 can be an integrated structure or a split structure.

[0104] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The box body 1 includes a box body 11 and a sub-box 12. The box body 11 has a containing space 11b and a first liquid outlet 1a connected to the containing space 11b. The sub-box 12 is removably arranged in the containing space 11b. The liquid storage cavity 101 and the delivery cavity 102 are located in the sub-box 12.

[0105] The box body 11 of this embodiment can be a pure manual dispenser box in the prior art, and the holding space 11b can be used for washing powder. In this embodiment, when the user needs to put in washing powder, or when the user does not need to put in a quantitative amount of detergent, the sub-box 12 can be taken out and the washing powder can be put directly into the holding space 11b; when the detergent needs to be put in a certain amount, the sub-box 12 can be put into the holding space 11b. That is to say, in this embodiment, on the basis of not changing the dispenser box of the prior art, an optional sub-box 12 can be added, so that the pure manual dispenser box in the prior art can be upgraded to a semi-automatic dispenser box, thereby improving the user experience and facilitating the replacement of existing clothing processing equipment.

[0106] It should be noted that, since the dispenser box does not move during the water intake process, no auxiliary positioning structure is required between the sub-box 12 and the box body 11, and the sub-box 12 can be directly placed in the containing space 11b.

[0107] Exemplarily, the rear end of the box body 11 is open to form a first liquid outlet 1 a . The box body 11 is provided with a transverse rib 111 above the first liquid outlet 1 a , and the transverse rib 111 can increase the structural strength of the box body 11 .

[0108] See also Figure 3 The position of the top of the side wall corresponding to the delivery cavity 102 is lower than the position of the transverse rib 111 , and a gap 11 c is formed between the two, and the gap 11 c is used to avoid the siphon tube 31 .

[0109] The specific structure of the sub-box 12 is not limited.

[0110] For example, see Figure 4 and Figure 5The sub-box 12 includes a bottom plate 121, a surrounding plate 122, and a partition 123. The surrounding plate 122 is located on the top side of the bottom plate 121 and extends along the edge of the bottom plate 121. The surrounding plate 122 forms a closed loop structure. The partition 123 is arranged in the space enclosed by the surrounding plate 122, and separates the space enclosed by the surrounding plate 122 and the bottom plate 121 into a liquid storage chamber 101 and a delivery chamber 102. The liquid storage chamber 101 is located on the front side of the partition 123, and the delivery chamber 102 is located on the rear side of the partition 123. In other words, the liquid storage chamber 101 is roughly located on the front side of the delivery chamber 102. In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient for users to add detergent to the liquid storage chamber 101, and on the other hand, it is also convenient to arrange the drainage channel.

[0111] For some examples, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 Along the circumferential side of the enclosure 122, the enclosure 122 includes a first sub-enclosure 1221 and a second sub-enclosure 1222 connected end to end, a liquid storage chamber 101 is defined between the first sub-enclosure 1221 and the partition 123, and a delivery chamber 102 is defined between the second sub-enclosure 1222 and the partition 123.

[0112] See also Figure 5 , the height of the second sub-enclosure 1222 is less than the height of the first sub-enclosure 1221. Since the second sub-enclosure 1222 is located relatively far back, the height of the second sub-enclosure 1222 is appropriately lowered to avoid interference between the second sub-enclosure 1222 and the transverse rib 111.

[0113] In the embodiment where the distributor box is provided with a siphon tube 31 , the water outlet end of the siphon tube 31 is arranged from the top end of the second sub-enclosure 1222 to the outside of the sub-box 12 .

[0114] For example, see Figure 5 The partition 123 includes a first transverse plate 1231, a longitudinal plate 1233 and a second transverse plate 1232 which are connected in sequence. The longitudinal plate 1233 extends in the front-to-back direction. The first transverse plate 1231 is connected between the front end of the longitudinal plate 1233 and the enclosure 122 located on the first transverse side of the sub-box 12. The second transverse plate 1232 is connected between the rear end of the longitudinal plate 1233 and the enclosure 122 located on the second transverse side of the sub-box 12. The enclosure 122 located on the first transverse side of the longitudinal plate 1233 is a part of the second sub-enclosure 1222, and the enclosure 122 located on the second transverse side of the longitudinal plate 1233 is a part of the first sub-enclosure 1221.

[0115] The area between the longitudinal plate 1233 and the second sub-enclosure plate 1222 located on the first lateral side forms the second sub-area 102b of the delivery chamber 102, and the area between the second transverse plate 1232 and the second sub-enclosure plate 1222 located on the rear end is the first sub-area 102a of the delivery chamber 102. The area between the longitudinal plate 1233 and the first sub-enclosure plate 1221 located on the second lateral side is a part of the liquid storage chamber 101.

[0116] In the lateral direction of the distributor box, the distance between the longitudinal plate 1233 and the second sub-enclosure 1222 is smaller than the distance between the longitudinal plate 1233 and the first sub-enclosure 1221. In other words, the width of the second sub-area 102b is smaller than the width of the corresponding liquid storage chamber 101, so that the volume of the liquid storage chamber 101 is maximized while meeting the water inlet requirements.

[0117] Exemplarily, the area between the longitudinal plate 1233 and the second sub-enclosure plate 1222 located on the first transverse side of the longitudinal plate 1233 is used to receive the incoming water flow. In other words, the delivery chamber 102 receives the incoming water flow through the second sub-area 102b.

[0118] For example, see Figure 4 The rear surface of the first horizontal plate 1231 facing the delivery chamber 102 is an upwardly inclined surface 102b', and a visual mark 15 for indicating the liquid level height is provided on the inclined surface 102b'.

[0119] For example, in some other embodiments, please refer to Figures 6 to 11 The box body 1 is an integrally formed injection molded part.

[0120] It should be noted that the number of the liquid storage chambers 101 of the dispenser box is not limited, and can be one, two, three or more. The number of the delivery chambers 102 matches the number of the liquid storage chambers 101 .

[0121] In the embodiment where the number of the liquid storage chamber 101 and the delivery chamber 102 is one each, the liquid storage chamber can be used to store laundry detergent, disinfectant, or softener, that is, any detergent delivery space of the dispenser box in the prior art can be modified and upgraded.

[0122] It is understandable that any plurality of detergent delivery spaces of the dispenser box in the prior art may also be modified and upgraded.

[0123] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the box body 1 further includes a holding chamber 104, which is arranged side by side with the liquid storage chamber 101 along the left-right direction of the dispenser box. The holding chamber 104 can store detergents different from those in the liquid storage chamber 101. Fig.11 The bottom wall of the containing chamber 104 is provided with a third liquid outlet 1c, and the dispenser box further comprises a second siphon cap 33 located in the containing chamber 104, and the second siphon cap 33 is arranged at the third liquid outlet 1c. When water enters the containing chamber 104 to the siphon height, the water flow carries the detergent and is discharged from the third liquid outlet 1c.

[0124] An embodiment of the present application provides a clothing processing device, comprising a machine body and a detergent dispensing device according to any embodiment of the present application, wherein the detergent dispensing device is arranged in the machine body.

[0125] The specific type of the clothes processing device is not limited, for example, it can be a clothes processing device or a shoe washing device. The clothes processing device can be a washing machine or a washer-dryer. Among them, the structural form of the clothes processing device can be a drum type or a pulsator type.
