[0037] 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.

[0038] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", etc. indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply 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", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0039] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a detergent dispenser 100 .

[0040] The embodiment of the present application also provides a detergent dispensing device, which includes a detergent box and a detergent dispenser 100 of any embodiment of the present application, and the detergent dispenser 100 is retractably disposed in the detergent box. Before washing clothes, the user pulls the detergent dispenser 100 out of the detergent box to dispense detergent, and after the detergent is dispensed, the detergent dispenser 100 is pushed into the detergent box.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the detergent dispensing device is applied to a washing machine as an example for description.

[0042] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 The detergent dispenser 100 includes a dispenser box 1 and a containing container 2 .

[0043] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The dispenser box 1 is provided with a connected detergent delivery chamber 1a and a drainage channel 1c. The detergent delivery chamber 1a is used to hold detergent and can receive incoming water flow. The drainage channel 1c is used to discharge the water in the detergent delivery chamber 1a out of the detergent dispenser 100.

[0044] Specifically, the incoming water flows into the detergent delivery chamber 1a, dissolves the detergent, and carries the detergent out of the dispenser box 1 from the drainage channel 1c. That is, the detergent delivered into the detergent delivery chamber 1a is the detergent required for a single wash of clothes.

[0045] The containing container 2 is removably disposed in the detergent delivery cavity 1 a , that is, the containing container 2 and the dispenser box 1 are of a split structure.

[0046] The container 2 has a liquid storage chamber 21a for containing detergent. The detergent is stored in the liquid storage chamber 21a, and the capacity of the liquid storage chamber 21a can provide the amount of detergent required for multiple laundry washings, for example, 5 times, 10 times, 20 times, 50 times, etc.

[0047] The container 2 can controllably release the detergent in the liquid storage chamber 21a into the detergent delivery chamber 1a under the action of an external force, that is, the amount of detergent discharged from the liquid storage chamber 21a is controllable. The user can control the time for the container 2 to release the detergent according to the amount of detergent required for a single wash, and stop releasing the detergent when the amount of detergent released is sufficient for a single wash.

[0048] After the inflow water flows into the detergent delivery chamber 1a, the inflow water flows into the detergent delivery chamber 1a, carries the detergent discharged from the liquid storage chamber 21a, and is discharged from the liquid discharge channel 1c. It should be noted that the inflow water flow does not enter the liquid storage chamber 21a.

[0049] Please note that Figure 4 When the container 2 is removed from the dispenser box 1, detergent can be directly added to the detergent delivery chamber 1a, and the inlet water flows into the detergent delivery chamber 1a, carrying the detergent and being discharged from the drainage channel 1c. When the container 2 is placed in the detergent delivery chamber 1a, detergent is quantitatively added to the detergent delivery chamber 1a through the container 2, and the inlet water flows into the detergent delivery chamber 1a, carrying the detergent released from the container 2 into the detergent delivery chamber 1a and being discharged from the dispenser box 1.

[0050] It should be noted that the removal of the containing container 2 from the detergent delivery chamber 1 a refers to a state in which the containing container 2 has been removed from the detergent delivery chamber 1 a and no longer occupies the detergent delivery chamber 1 a .

[0051] It should be noted that the external force refers to the force outside the washing device, for example, the force applied by the user.

[0052] The detergent directly put into the detergent putting chamber 1a can be in liquid form, such as laundry detergent, softener, disinfectant, fragrance, etc.; it can also be in granular form, such as washing powder. The container 2 contains liquid detergent, such as laundry detergent, softener, disinfectant, fragrance, etc.

[0053] According to the detergent dispenser of the embodiment of the present application, when the user needs to quantitatively dispense detergent, the container 2 is placed in the detergent dispensing chamber 1a, and the quantitative detergent is dispensed through the container 2. There is no need to use a liquid pump to quantitatively extract the detergent, and the detergent can be dispensed on demand by manipulating the container 2. In addition, the detergent required for multiple washes can be added to the liquid storage chamber 21a at one time, and there is no need to add detergent to the detergent dispenser 100 every time before washing clothes, thereby reducing the frequency of the user adding detergent and improving the user experience.

[0054] When the user does not need to dispense detergent in a fixed amount, the user can simply take out the container 2. That is to say, on the basis of not changing or only slightly changing the manual detergent dispenser in the prior art, an optional container 2 can be added, and the pure manual detergent dispenser in the prior art can be upgraded to a semi-automatic detergent dispenser, thereby improving the user experience and facilitating the replacement of existing washing equipment models.

[0055] It should be noted that, before the incoming water flows into the detergent delivery chamber 1a, the detergent that has entered the detergent delivery chamber 1a can be at least partially discharged through the drainage channel 1c, or it can be completely accumulated in the detergent delivery chamber 1a. That is to say, the detergent delivery chamber 1a has a certain drainage setting height. When the incoming water flows into the detergent delivery chamber 1a, so that the liquid level in the detergent delivery chamber 1a exceeds the drainage setting height, the water can carry the detergent and be discharged from the drainage channel 1c.

[0056] The specific form of the drainage channel 1c is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, the drainage channel 1c discharges liquid by the siphon principle, that is, the drainage channel 1c is a siphon channel. When the detergent delivery chamber 1a is filled with water to the siphon height, the liquid in the detergent delivery chamber 1a is discharged based on the siphon principle. In this embodiment, the siphon height is the above-mentioned drainage set height.

[0057] It should be noted that, in the embodiment where the discharge channel 1c discharges liquid using the siphon principle, it is not suitable for adding granular detergent to the detergent delivery chamber 1a.

[0058] In some other embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The rear side of the detergent delivery chamber 1a is open to form a drainage channel 1c, that is, the drainage channel 1c is an open structure, which is simple in structure and easy to manufacture. In addition, it can also better take into account the occasion of using washing powder. In this embodiment, the type of detergent delivered to the detergent delivery chamber 1a can be liquid or granular.

[0059] The water inlet method of the detergent delivery chamber 1a is not limited. For example, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 The top side of the detergent delivery chamber 1a is opened to form a water inlet 1b, and the detergent delivery chamber 1a receives the incoming water flow through the water inlet 1b, so that it is convenient to receive the incoming water flow from the top of the detergent dispenser box 1.

[0060] Exemplarily, the detergent box includes a box body and a box cover, the box cover is arranged on the top side of the box body, and the box body and the box cover together define a pull-out space for accommodating the detergent dispenser 100. The box 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 1b of the detergent delivery chamber 1a, and the water in the water inlet channel flows downward from the water outlet and flows into the detergent delivery chamber 1a through the water inlet 1b, thereby injecting water into the detergent delivery chamber 1a. In this way, there is no need to provide an additional water inlet pipe on the detergent box, which facilitates the simplification of the structure of the detergent box; in addition, since the detergent dispenser 100 needs to be pulled out frequently, the detergent delivery chamber 1a of this embodiment can reduce the position accuracy requirements for the detergent dispenser 100, which facilitates the inflow of water into the detergent delivery chamber 1a.

[0061] Exemplarily, the detergent box body is provided with a mixing tank located below the pull-out space and a main water outlet connected to the mixing tank. Detergent and inlet water flow into the mixing tank from the drainage channel 1c, and then enter the drum assembly of the washing device through the main water outlet.

[0062] One or more detergent dispensing chambers 1a may be provided in the dispenser box 1, and the number of the containing containers 2 may be one or more, and the corresponding containing containers 2 may be matched in the corresponding detergent dispensing chambers 1a according to actual needs.

[0063] For example, see Figures 1 to 4 The dispenser box 1 is provided with three detergent delivery chambers 1a, one of which is used to deliver the main detergent, such as washing powder, washing liquid, etc., at the beginning of washing; the other two detergent delivery chambers 1a can be used to deliver auxiliary detergents, such as softener, fragrance, etc. In this embodiment, a container 2 can be detachably placed in each detergent delivery chamber 1a, or a container 2 can be detachably placed in only one detergent delivery chamber 1a.

[0064] Understandably, see Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 The container 2 has a liquid outlet 221a, and the detergent in the liquid outlet cavity flows into the detergent delivery cavity 1a from the liquid outlet 221a. The specific location of the liquid outlet 221a is not limited, as long as the detergent can be directed to the detergent delivery cavity 1a.

[0065] For example, see Figure 8 A liquid outlet 221 a is provided on the front side of the containing container 2 , that is, the liquid outlet 221 a is substantially provided on the front side of the containing container 2 .

[0066] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the top view of the detergent dispenser 100, the projection of the liquid outlet 221a is located within the projection of the water inlet 1b. Since the water inlet 1b is located relatively close to the front end of the dispenser box 1, and the projection of the liquid outlet 221a is located within the projection of the water inlet 1b, after the incoming water flow enters the first detergent delivery chamber 1a, it can impact the detergent discharged from the liquid outlet 221a from top to bottom, accelerate the dissolution and foaming of the detergent, and the water flow carries the detergent backward, so that the detergent has a longer flow path, which can further improve the dissolution effect of the detergent.

[0067] It should be noted that the above-mentioned top-view projection refers to the projection from directly above or directly below the detergent dispenser to the same plane.

[0068] Since the detergent dispenser 100 does not move relative to the detergent box during water intake and operation, in some embodiments, no auxiliary positioning structure is provided between the containing container 2 and the dispenser box 1, and the containing container 2 can be directly placed in the detergent delivery cavity 1a.

[0069] In some other embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 One of the dispenser box 1 and the container 2 is provided with a slot 1d, and the other is provided with a positioning protrusion 212, which is inserted into the slot 1d. The cooperation between the positioning protrusion 212 and the slot 1d can limit the container 2 to a certain extent, so that the user can place the container 2 in approximately the same position every time, and the user can quickly place the container 2 in a suitable position.

[0070] The specific position and shape of the positioning protrusion 212 and the card slot 1d are not limited and can be set at any appropriate position.

[0071] For example, see Figure 5 and Figure 8 A contraction portion 211 is formed at the rear end of the container 2, and a positioning protrusion 212 is formed on the top surface of the contraction portion 211. The specific shape of the positioning protrusion 212 is not limited, and can be a block, a rib, a column, etc., which is not limited here.

[0072] See also Figure 4The dispenser box 1 includes a rib plate 11 disposed at the rear side of the detergent delivery chamber 1a. The rib plate 11 is located above the container 2. Specifically, the rib plate 11 is suspended in the detergent delivery chamber 1a. One end of the rib plate 11 is connected to the left side wall of the detergent delivery chamber 1a, and the other end of the rib plate 11 is connected to the right side wall of the detergent delivery chamber 1a. The rib plate 11 can enhance the structural strength and reliability of the dispenser box 1.

[0073] See also Figure 4 The rib plate 11 is provided with a slot 1d penetrating the rib plate 11 along the thickness direction of the rib plate 11, and the positioning protrusion 212 can be inserted into the slot 1d from bottom to top. The cooperation between the slot 1d and the positioning protrusion 212 can not only limit the position of the container 2 in the up-down direction and the front-back direction, but also provide a certain reaction force to the container 2 when the user applies force to the container 2 to release the detergent, so as to prevent the container 2 from shifting, and facilitate the user to apply force.

[0074] In addition, the contraction portion 211 can fully utilize the space below the rib plate 11 to increase the capacity of the liquid storage cavity 21 a in the container 2 .

[0075] The specific structure of the container 2 is not limited.

[0076] For example, see Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 The containing container 2 includes a container body 21 and a pressing pump head 22 arranged on the container body 21. The internal space of the container body 21 is a liquid storage chamber 21a. One end of the pressing pump head 22 extends into the liquid storage chamber 21a. The pressing pump head 22 is provided with a liquid outlet passage 22a connected to the liquid storage chamber 21a. The pressing pump head 22 can pump the detergent in the liquid storage chamber 21a out of the liquid outlet passage 22a under external force.

[0077] The container body 21 is provided with a connected liquid storage chamber 21a and a pump chamber 222a. The space inside the container body 21 is used to hold detergent. The shape of the container body 21 is not limited, and it can be a bottle body, a box body, etc., which is not limited here.

[0078] The pressing pump head 22 is provided with a liquid outlet passage 22a connected to the liquid storage chamber 21a. Specifically, the first end of the liquid outlet passage 22a along the detergent flow direction is located in the container body 21, and the terminal end of the liquid outlet passage 22a along the detergent flow direction is formed as the above-mentioned liquid outlet 221a. One end of the pressing pump head 22 extends into the liquid storage chamber 21a, and the pressing pump head 22 can pump the detergent in the liquid storage chamber 21a out of the liquid outlet passage 22a under external pressure.

[0079] It should be noted that Figure 8The structure shown only shows a partial structure of the pressing pump head 22 .

[0080] It is understandable that the pumping principle of the pressing pump head 22 can be implemented by adopting any principle of a pressing pump head in the prior art, for example, the pressing principle of a pressing pump head of a shampoo bottle, a pressing pump head of a spray bottle, and the like.

[0081] Exemplarily, the pressing pump head 22 includes a movable pressing body 221 and a pump housing 222. The container body 21 is provided with a mounting port 21b. The pump housing 222 is inserted into the mounting port 21b. The pump housing 222 is fixedly connected to the container body 21, for example, by threaded connection, bonding, or ultrasonic welding. A pump cavity 222a is formed at a portion of the pump housing 222 located inside the container body 21. The pump cavity 222a is located on the liquid outlet passage 22a. The first end of the movable pressing body 221 extends into the pump cavity 222a and can reciprocate in the pump cavity 222a. The second end of the movable pressing body 221 is located outside the container body 21.

[0082] For example, see Figure 8 The pressing pump head 22 further includes a pipeline 224, one end of the pipeline 224 is connected to the pump housing 222, and the other end of the pipeline 224 is used to suck in detergent.

[0083] Exemplarily, a flow channel is formed between the bottom surface of the container body 21 and the bottom wall of the detergent delivery chamber 1a, and the flow channel connects the areas of the detergent delivery chamber 1a located on opposite sides of the container body 21 along the front-rear direction. The water flow entering the detergent delivery chamber 1a can flow from the flow channel to the area on the rear side of the container body 21, which can improve the flow efficiency of the water flow.

[0084] The number of flow channels is not limited, and can be one or more. The formation method of the flow channels is not limited.

[0085] For example, see Figure 6 The bottom side of the container body 21 is formed with a first protrusion 213 protruding from the bottom surface 21c thereof, and the container 2 is supported on the bottom wall of the detergent delivery chamber 1a by the first protrusion 213. In this embodiment, the first protrusion 213 separates the bottom surface 21c of the container body 21 from the bottom wall of the detergent delivery chamber 1a, so that the space between the bottom surface 21c and the bottom wall of the detergent delivery chamber 1a forms the above-mentioned flow channel.

[0086] Exemplarily, the detergent delivery chamber 1a is formed with a second protrusion protruding from its bottom wall, and the holding container 2 is supported on the second protrusion. In this embodiment, the second protrusion separates the holding container 2 from the bottom wall of the detergent delivery chamber 1a, and the space between the holding container 2 and the bottom wall of the detergent delivery chamber 1a forms the above-mentioned flow channel.

[0087] It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned first protrusion 213 may be formed only on the bottom side of the container body 21, and the second protrusion may not be formed on the bottom wall of the detergent delivery cavity 1a; in other embodiments, the second protrusion may be formed only on the bottom wall of the detergent delivery cavity 1a, and the above-mentioned first protrusion 213 may not be formed on the bottom side of the container body 21; in still other embodiments, the above-mentioned first protrusion 213 is formed on the bottom side of the container body 21, and the second protrusion is formed on the bottom wall of the detergent delivery cavity 1a.

[0088] For example, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 The container body 21 is spaced apart from the front side wall 12 of the detergent delivery chamber 1a, and the second end of the movable pressing body 221 is disposed between the container body 21 and the front side wall 12 of the detergent delivery chamber 1a. When detergent delivery is required, the user pulls the detergent dispenser 100 out of the detergent box, and the second end of the movable pressing body 221 is relatively close to the user and will not be blocked by the detergent box, so that the user can easily manipulate the second end of the movable pressing body 221.

[0089] Exemplarily, the movable pressing body 221 is configured to move from front to back under external force. That is, the pressing pump head 22 moves in the front-to-back direction of the detergent dispenser 100. Since the detergent delivery chamber 1a has a relatively large size in the front-to-back direction, arranging the movement direction of the pressing pump head 22 in the front-to-back direction can make the movable pressing body 221 have a relatively large movement stroke and facilitate the arrangement of the pressing pump head 22.

[0090] The amount of liquid discharged from the container 2 is positively correlated with the movement stroke of the movable pressing body 221 under the control of the external force. In other words, the greater the movement stroke of the movable pressing body 221, the greater the amount of liquid discharged. This facilitates the user to intuitively feel and control the amount of detergent released at a time based on the pressing feel.

[0091] It is understandable that the user may directly contact the movable pressing body 221 and apply force to the movable pressing body 221 , or may indirectly apply force to the movable pressing body 221 through other structures.

[0092] For example, see Figures 5 to 8 The container 2 includes a pressing arm 223, a first end of the pressing arm 223 is rotatably connected to the container body 21, a second end of the pressing arm 223 is a free end, the pressing arm 223 swings within an allowable range with the rotatable connection of the first end as the rotation center, and the pressing arm 223 can force the movable pressing body 221 to move toward the inside of the container body 21 under the action of external force. In other words, the user can drive the movable pressing body 221 to move by pressing the pressing arm 223.

[0093] In this embodiment, the pressing arm 223 can be manufactured into a shape that is convenient for the user's fingers to press, thereby reducing the requirements for the shape of the movable pressing body 221; in addition, the second end of the pressing arm 223 can be set at a position that is convenient for the user to apply force, thereby reducing the requirements for the installation position of the movable pressing body 221.

[0094] For example, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The pump housing 222 is provided with a force-applying sheet 2221 for use with the second end of the pressing arm 223 at a portion located outside the container body 21. The force-applying sheet 2221 is located at the rear side of the second end of the pressing arm 223. Specifically, when the detergent needs to be released, the user can place the thumb on the second end of the pressing arm 223, the index finger against the rear side of the force-applying sheet 2221, and the thumb presses the pressing arm 223 backwards. The force-applying sheet 2221 provides a reaction force to the index finger, which is convenient for the user to apply force.

[0095] For example, see Figure 8 The pressing arm 223 is arranged in the up-down direction, the first end of the pressing arm 223 is located below the second end, and the rotation centerline of the pressing arm 223 extends substantially in the left-right direction of the detergent dispenser 100. The second end of the pressing arm 223 is located at a relatively upper position, with a larger operating space, which is convenient for the user to apply force.

[0096] It should be noted that there is a linkage relationship between the pressing arm 223 and the movable pressing body 221. The pressing arm 223 can drive the movable pressing body 221 to move toward the inside of the container body 21. When the movable pressing body 221 is reset to its initial state without being pressed, the movable pressing body 221 drives the pressing arm 223 to reset together.

[0097] The linkage mode between the pressing arm 223 and the movable pressing body 221 is not limited.

[0098] For example, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The movable pressing body 221 is provided with a positioning column 2211 along the circumferential surface perpendicular to the moving direction thereof, and the pressing arm 223 is provided with a slide groove 223a, and the positioning column 2211 is slidably inserted into the slide groove 223a, and the pressing arm 223 and the movable pressing body 221 are linked by the cooperation of the slide groove 223a and the positioning column 2211. It should be noted that, since the movable pressing body 221 moves roughly along a straight line, and the pressing arm 223 moves in a rotating manner, there will be relative movement between the positioning column 2211 and the pressing arm 223, and therefore, the size of the slide groove 223a needs to meet the requirement that during the movement of the movable pressing body 221 and the pressing arm 223, the positioning column 2211 will not get stuck in the slide groove 223a.

[0099] For example, see Figure 6and Figure 8 The pressing arm 223 is provided with an avoidance notch 223b penetrating the pressing arm 223 along the thickness direction, and the liquid outlet pipe is penetrated in the avoidance notch 223b to avoid interference between the pressing arm 223 and the liquid outlet pipe, so that the movable pressing body 221 has a compact structure.

[0100] An embodiment of the present application provides a washing 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.

[0101] The specific type of the washing device is not limited, for example, it can be a washing device or a shoe washing device. The washing device can be a washing machine or a washer-dryer. Among them, the structural form of the washing device can be a drum type or a pulsator type.
