DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0032] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features being in contact not directly but through another feature between them. Furthermore, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may include the first feature being directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0033] In traditional washing machines, the dispensing mechanism is typically actuated by pressing. Therefore, a mounting channel is typically provided on the exterior component, and a drive component is movably positioned within the mounting channel. The user can press the drive component to slide relative to the exterior component. Because the drive component needs to slide relative to the exterior component, a certain gap exists between the two. Since both the drive component and the exterior component are exterior components, the gap between them needs to be kept small to ensure the aesthetics of the washing machine.

[0034] Because in the prior art, when the gap between the driving component and the exterior component is set to be small, when the user presses the driving component, the driving component may be offset relative to the installation channel, resulting in a loss of gap between the driving component and part of the wall surface of the installation channel. At this time, the driving component will be subject to friction resistance from the exterior component during its inward movement, resulting in a poor operating feel of the driving component.

[0035] To this end, the embodiment of the present invention designs a drive assembly 100 in which the size of the gap between the drive component 102 and the wall of the mounting channel gradually increases as the drive component 102 moves away from the exterior surface 1015. Since the distance of the gap between the drive component 102 and the wall of the mounting channel gradually increases with movement, when the user presses the drive component 102, the distance between the drive component 102 and the wall of the mounting channel increases as the drive component 102 moves during the pressing process. Therefore, when the drive component 102 deflects, since the distance of the gap between the drive component 102 and the wall of the mounting channel can be greater than the amount of deflection of the drive component 102 during movement, a gap can always exist between the drive component 102 and the wall of the mounting channel to enable smooth movement of the drive component 102.

[0036] Therefore, by increasing the distance between the wall surface of the installation channel 1011 and the driving component 102 , the movement process of the driving component 102 becomes smoother, thereby improving the operational feel of the driving assembly 100 .

[0037] Furthermore, since the gap between the outermost driving component 102 and the wall surface of the installation channel is the smallest, the aesthetic appearance of the exterior component 101 is ensured.

[0038] Reference below Figures 1-8 The driving assembly 100 of the delivery device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0039] The driving assembly 100 of the dispensing device 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention may include: an exterior component 101 and a driving component 102 .

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the exterior component 101 has an exterior surface 1015 and an installation channel 1011. The installation channel 1011 can position and guide the movement of the driving component 102. The driving component 102 moves within the installation channel 1011 to achieve the purpose of driving the delivery device 1000. Furthermore, the driving component 102 is movably provided in the installation channel 1011. During the process of the driving component 102 moving within the installation channel 1011, it can drive the delivery device 1000 to deliver.

[0041] Among them, the gap between the driving component 102 and the side wall surface 10111 of the installation channel 1011 gradually increases in the direction away from the appearance surface 1015. Since the distance of the gap between the driving component 102 and the side wall surface 10111 gradually increases as the driving component 102 moves away from the appearance surface 1015, when the user presses the driving component 102, as the driving component 102 moves away from the appearance surface 1015 during the pressing process, the distance between the driving component 102 and the side wall surface 10111 becomes larger and larger. Therefore, when the driving component 102 is offset, since the distance of the gap between the driving component 102 and the side wall surface 10111 can be greater than the offset amount of the driving component 102 during the movement, there can always be a gap between the driving component 102 and the side wall surface 10111 to enable the driving component 102 to move smoothly. The side wall surface 10111 of the installation channel 1011 will not contact the driving component 102, and thus the side wall surface 10111 of the installation channel 1011 will not generate frictional resistance to the movement of the driving component 102.

[0042] Therefore, by increasing the distance between the side wall surface 10111 of the installation channel 1011 and the driving component 102, the movement process of the driving component 102 becomes smoother, avoiding problems such as jamming and blocking of the driving component 103, and improving the operating feel of the driving component 100.

[0043] When the user presses the driving component 102, as the driving component 102 moves away from the appearance surface 1015 during the pressing process, the movement of the driving component 102 becomes smoother, so that the operating feel of the driving component 102 is improved, and because the gap between the outermost driving component 102 and the side wall surface 10111 is the smallest, the aesthetic appearance of the exterior component 101 is ensured.

[0044] Moreover, since the gap between the outermost driving component 102 and the side wall surface 10111 is set to be small, the relative offset amount of the driving component 102 relative to the exterior component 101 is limited, so that the relative offset amount of the driving component 102 relative to the exterior component 101 is small, further ensuring the smoothness of the movement of the driving component 102 in the installation channel 1011 and improving the operating feel.

[0045] According to the driving component 100 of the dispensing device 1000 of an embodiment of the present invention, the driving component 100 increases the gap between the internal side wall surface 10111 of the installation channel 1011 and the driving component 102 while ensuring a beautiful appearance, so that the process of the driving component 102 moving in a direction away from the appearance surface 1015 becomes smoother, thereby improving the operating feel.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cross-sectional area of the installation channel 1011 gradually expands in the direction away from the exterior surface 1015, that is, the installation channel 1011 presents a trumpet shape in the direction away from the exterior surface 1015, so that during the movement of the driving component 102 from the outside to the inside, the gap between the driving component 102 and the side wall surface 10111 gradually increases. As the gap gradually increases, when the user presses the driving component 102, the movement of the driving component 102 becomes smoother during the pressing process, so that the operating feel of the driving component 102 is improved.

[0047] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the driving component 102 has a decorative rib 1021 extending along its circumference. The decorative rib 1021 is exposed to the outside when the driving component 102 moves toward the inside of the installation channel 1011. This can avoid the gap between the driving component 102 and the exterior panel 1012 being observed from the outside when the driving component 102 moves in a direction away from the exterior surface 1015, thereby improving the aesthetics.

[0048] Furthermore, the decorative rib 1021 cooperates with the side wall surface 10111 of the installation channel 1011 to ensure the stability of the driving component 102 during movement, avoid a large offset in the position of the driving component 102 during movement, and make the movement process smoother.

[0049] The exterior component 101 further has a limiting rib 1014 to limit the decorative rib 1021. The limiting rib 1014 protrudes from the side wall surface 10111 of the installation channel 1011.

[0050] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the installation channel 1011 has a first position, which is arranged close to the appearance surface. The driving component 102 can be limited to the first position when there is no external force driving it. In the first position, the decorative rib 1021 contacts and cooperates with the limiting rib 1014, so that the driving component 102 can be stably limited in the first position, and ensure that there is no gap in the appearance of the delivery device 1000, ensuring the aesthetics of the delivery device 1000.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the first position, the decorative rib 1021 of the driving component 102 contacts and cooperates with the side wall surface 10111 of the installation channel 1011, ensuring that in the natural state (the state where the driving component 102 is not pressed by the user), the user cannot observe the gap between the driving component 102 and the exterior component 101 from the outside, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance.

[0052] Furthermore, in the first position, the decorative rib 1021 of the driving component 102 contacts and cooperates with the side wall 10111, and the side wall 10111 of the mounting channel 1011 can limit the driving component 102, ensuring that the driving component 102 is stably fixed in the first position. As the driving component 102 moves away from the exterior surface 1015, the cross-sectional area of the mounting channel 1011 gradually increases from the outside to the inside. As the gap gradually increases, when a user presses the driving component 102, as the driving component 102 moves away from the exterior surface 1015, the driving component 102 gradually moves away from the side wall 10111 of the mounting channel 1011. The mounting channel 1011 and the driving component 102 do not contact each other, resulting in no frictional resistance between the two. This makes the pressing process smoother, and improves the operating feel of the driving component 102.

[0053] Furthermore, since the decorative rib 1021 of the driving component 102 is in contact with the side wall surface 10111 of the installation channel 1011 in the first position, the relative displacement of the driving component 102 relative to the exterior component 101 is small, which further ensures the smoothness of the movement of the driving component 102 in the installation channel 1011 and improves the operating feel.

[0054] Therefore, in the driving component provided in the present application, in a natural state, the decorative rib 1021 of the driving component is in contact with the side wall surface 10111, so that there is no gap on the side that can be observed by the user, and therefore the aesthetics of the driving component is guaranteed; in addition, while ensuring the aesthetics, the gap between the decorative rib 1021 of the driving component and the side wall surface 10111 of the installation channel gradually increases from the outside to the inside as the driving component moves, which can ensure that in the process of pressing the driving component in the direction away from the appearance surface 1015, the gap between the decorative rib 1021 of the driving component and the side wall surface 10111 of the installation channel becomes larger, and there is no friction resistance between the installation channel and the driving component, so that there is no jamming or jamming during the movement of the driving component.

[0055] Combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, in the first position, a portion of the driving component 102 protrudes from the appearance surface 1015 of the exterior component 101. The user presses the portion of the driving component 102 protruding from the appearance surface 1015 of the exterior component 101 to move the driving component 102 along the installation channel 1011, thereby making the driving assembly 100 more operational and making it easier for the user to apply force to the driving component 102.

[0056] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the exterior component 101 includes an exterior panel 1012, which is located outside the drive assembly 100 and can protect the dispensing device 1000 and the drive assembly 100 from the outside to ensure the operational stability of the dispensing device 1000 and the drive assembly 100. The exterior panel 1012 has an opening, through which a portion of the drive component 102 protrudes outward, so that the user can apply pressure to the drive component 102. A panel 1013 is provided inside the opening, and the panel 1013 defines an installation channel 1011. One end of the panel 1013 is connected to the edge of the opening to define the installation channel 1011 at the opening. Furthermore, the panel 1013 is located inside the exterior panel 1012 to define the installation channel 1011 inside the opening.

[0057] Furthermore, the enclosing plate 1013 can limit the driving component 102 to ensure the stability of the driving component 102. In addition, the enclosing plate 1013 can guide the movement of the driving component 102 to ensure the stability of the driving component 102 during movement.

[0058] Furthermore, the opening also has a limiting rib 1014 protruding from the enclosure 1013. Specifically, a limiting rib 1014 protruding toward the inside of the installation channel 1011 is provided at the opening of the exterior panel 1012. When the driving component 102 is in the first position, the limiting rib 1014 can cooperate with the decorative rib 1021 to limit the driving component 102 to prevent the driving component 102 from falling off.

[0059] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The driving component 102 includes a driving button 1022. A user presses the driving button 1022 to move the driving component 102 away from the exterior surface 1015. This movement of the driving component 102 away from the exterior surface 1015 achieves the purpose of driving the delivery device 1000 to deliver the product. The sidewall 10111 of the mounting channel 1011 guides the movement of the driving button 1022, thereby guiding the movement of the driving component 102.

[0060] Furthermore, a decorative rib 1021 is formed on the inner side of the driving button 1022 so as to limit the driving button 1022 and thereby limit the entire driving component 102 .

[0061] The driving component 102 also includes a transmission member 1023, which cooperates with the driving button 1022 so that the transmission member 1023 can move along with the movement of the driving button 1022. Specifically, the driving button 1022 drives the delivery pump 200 of the delivery device 1000 to operate through the transmission member 1023. During the movement of the transmission member 1023, the force applied by the operator will be transmitted to the delivery pump 200, and the delivery pump 200 will be driven to deliver.

[0062] In some embodiments, a mating groove is provided on a side of the drive button 1022 near the transmission member, and the transmission member 1027 includes a mating plate that abuts against the mating groove. The mating groove and the mating plate abut against each other, and the drive button 1022 and the transmission member 1027 abut against each other, enabling mated transmission even when the drive button 1022 and the transmission member 1027 are separated. The sidewalls of the mating groove limit the mating plate, ensuring the stability of the transmission member 1027. When the drive button 1022 is pressed, the bottom wall of the mating groove pushes the mating plate, causing the transmission member 1027 to move in conjunction with the movement of the drive button 1022.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present invention, one of the mating plate and the delivery pump 200 has a first limiting rail and the other has a first mating portion, and the first limiting rail and the first mating portion are slidably mated to guide the movement of the transmission member 1027 by utilizing the mating between the first limiting rail and the first mating portion to ensure the stability of the movement of the transmission member 1027.

[0064] Reference Figure 3-Figure 6 One of the transmission member 1027 and the delivery pump 200 has a second limiting rail and the other has a second mating portion. The second limiting rail and the second mating portion are slidably engaged with each other. The second limiting rail and the second mating portion are used to guide the movement of the transmission member 1027, ensuring the stability of the movement of the transmission member 1027.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the dispensing pump 200 is provided with a first limiting rail, which, together with a first matching portion provided on one side of the transmission member, guides the movement of the transmission member 1027 on one side of the transmission member 1027. The dispensing pump 200 is also provided with a second limiting rail, which, together with the second matching portion, guides the movement of the transmission member 1027 on the other side of the transmission member 1027. Thus, the first limiting rail and the second limiting rail can jointly guide the transmission member 1027 on both sides of the transmission member 1027, further ensuring the stability of the movement of the transmission member 1027. They can also provide support for the transmission member 1027, further ensuring the stability of the arrangement of the transmission member 1027.

[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, the transmission member 1023 includes a rack 1024 . The rack 1024 provided on the transmission member 1023 can cooperate with the transmission structure in the delivery pump 200 to enable the delivery pump 200 to deliver under the drive of the driving component 102 .

[0067] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The driving assembly 100 of the delivery device 1000 further includes a reset member 103, which can provide a reset force to the driving component 102 to return the driving component 102 to the first position.

[0068] Specifically, the reset member 103 is connected to the transmission member 1023, one end of the reset member 103 is arranged on the transmission member 1023, and the other end of the reset member 103 is fixedly arranged. When the driving component 102 is subjected to the external force applied by the user through the driving button 1022, and moves from the first position along the installation channel 1011 in the direction away from the appearance surface 1015, the transmission member 1023 compresses the reset member 103, so that the reset member 103 has a reset force. After the driving component 102 moves to the extreme position, the user cannot continue to apply external force to the driving component 102 through the driving button 1022 to make it move in the direction away from the appearance surface 1015. Therefore, the user will stop pressing, so that the external force applied to the driving assembly 100 disappears. At this time, the reset member 103 is suitable for applying a reset force to the driving component 102 to drive the driving component 102 to move toward the side close to the appearance surface 1015, so that the driving component 102 is reset.

[0069] Combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the installation channel 1011 extends obliquely downward from the appearance surface 1015 toward the inner side of the exterior component 101, so that the user can drive the driving component 102 by applying pressure obliquely downward. Since the user can use gravity to apply pressure obliquely downward, the force application process is more comfortable and the operation feels better.

[0070] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0071] According to another aspect of the present invention, a delivery device 1000 includes the aforementioned drive assembly 100 of the delivery device 1000 .
