[0048] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which 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 only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0049] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 11 A delivery component 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.
[0050] like Figure 1-Figure 3 as well as Figure 7-10 As shown, the dispensing assembly 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a first storage box 700, and the first storage box 700 is used to contain detergent.
[0051] The delivery assembly 1000 includes a first flow channel 3141 and a second flow channel 3143. The first flow channel 3141 is connected to the first storage box 700, and the first flow channel 3141 can deliver the detergent inside to the delivery chamber 313. The second flow channel 3143 is connected to the first storage box 700, and the second flow channel 3143 can deliver the detergent inside to the delivery chamber 313. The detergent in the first storage box 700 is suitable for delivery to the delivery chamber 313 through the first flow channel 3141 and the second flow channel 3143.
[0052] According to the dispensing component 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention, the amount of detergent dispensed at a single time can be increased by setting the first flow channel 3141 and the second flow channel 3143; and when one of the flow channels fails, the other flow channel can be used for dispensing, which does not affect the normal use of the dispensing component 1000 and ensures the user experience.
[0053] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first flow channel 3141 is connected to a delivery component 200, and the delivery component 200 is used to deliver the detergent in the first flow channel 3141 to the delivery chamber 313. The delivery component 200 here can be a delivery pump, or a power component such as a cylinder piston assembly.
[0054] The first flow channel 3141 is disposed below the inlet 202 of the delivery component 200, and the first flow channel 3141 is connected to the delivery component 200. When the delivery component 200 is working, the detergent in the first flow channel 3141 can be delivered to the delivery chamber 313. When the delivery component 200 is pressed once, liquid can be discharged once. When the delivery component 200 is not working, the first flow channel 3141 cannot deliver detergent.
[0055] In other embodiments, the second flow channel 3143 and the delivery chamber 313 are arranged below the first storage box 700, and the detergent in the second flow channel 3143 is suitable for being naturally delivered to the delivery chamber 313 under the action of gravity. That is, there is no need to separately set up a power component to deliver the detergent in the second flow channel 3143 to the delivery chamber 313, but the detergent relies on gravity to flow naturally to the delivery chamber 313.
[0056] In some other embodiments, the first flow channel 3141 is connected to the delivery component 200 to deliver the detergent in the first flow channel 3141 into the delivery chamber 313, and the second flow channel 3143 is arranged below the first storage box 700, and the detergent in the second flow channel 3143 is suitable for natural delivery under the action of gravity, thereby forming at least two liquid outlet paths.
[0057] In actual applications, not only detergents but also other care agents, bleaches, etc. are used when cleaning items. Therefore, in some embodiments, detergents and care agents can be separately dispensed through the dispensing component 1000.
[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the delivery assembly 1000 further includes a second storage box 800 and a third flow channel. The second storage box 800 is used to contain the care agent. The third flow channel is connected to the second storage box 800 to deliver the care agent to the delivery chamber 313.
[0059] Generally, the amount of care agent used is less than the amount of detergent used. In the present application, by providing two flow channels for dispensing detergent (the first flow channel 3141 and the second flow channel 3143), it can be ensured that when the dispensing component 1000 is used to dispense detergent and care agent, each time the user presses the dispensing component 1000 to dispense detergent, and each time the user presses the dispensing component 1000 to dispense care agent, the amount of detergent discharged is greater than the amount of care agent discharged.
[0060] It is understandable that if two identical delivery components are used to deliver detergent and care agent respectively, or the same flow channel of the same delivery component is used to deliver detergent and care agent, that is, the number of flow channels for delivering detergent and the number of flow channels for care agent are the same, for example, both are 1, then, when the user presses the delivery component to deliver detergent, the following problems will occur: the number of times the detergent needs to be pressed is greater than the number of times the care agent needs to be pressed, which may cause confusion to the user during use. When delivering different types of detergents, the user does not know how many times to press, which may cause trouble to the user. Therefore, the present application sets two flow channels for delivering detergent to avoid this problem, so that when the user presses the same number of times, the amount of detergent discharged is greater than the amount of care agent discharged, so that the user can deliver different types of detergents with the same number of presses.
[0061] like Figure 8-Figure 10 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, a liquid hole 3144 is provided in the second flow channel 3143 , and the first flow channel 3141 is connected to the second flow channel 3143 through the liquid hole 3144 .
[0062] Specifically, the dispensing component 1000 also has a first dispensing hole 3145 and a second dispensing hole 3146. The first dispensing hole 3145 connects the first flow channel 3141 and the dispensing cavity 313, and the second dispensing hole 3146 connects the second flow channel 3143 and the dispensing cavity 313. A portion of the detergent entering the second flow channel 3143 can flow toward the second dispensing hole 3146 along the extension direction of the second flow channel 3143, thereby realizing a continuous liquid discharge form of the detergent, and another portion of the detergent entering the second flow channel 3143 can enter the first flow channel 3141 through the liquid hole 3144, thereby facilitating the realization of multiple liquid discharge methods.
[0063] Among them, the liquid hole 3144 is higher than the second delivery hole 3146, so that the second flow channel 3143 is set as a gravity flow channel, so that the detergent that has not entered the liquid hole 3144 can fill the second flow channel 3143 under the action of gravity, and flow along the second flow channel 3143 toward the second delivery hole 3146, thereby realizing the continuous discharge of detergent.
[0064] According to some embodiments of the present invention, at least a portion of the second flow channel 3143 extends downward along the flow direction of the detergent in the flow channel, thereby facilitating the detergent in the second flow channel 3143 to flow naturally toward the delivery chamber 313 under the action of gravity.
[0065] Specifically, the dispensing component 1000 has a second dispensing hole 3146, which connects the second flow channel 3143 and the dispensing chamber 313. At least a portion of the second flow channel 3143 extends downward in a direction close to the second dispensing hole 3146, that is, the second flow channel 3143 is set as a gravity flow channel, so that the detergent can flow along the second flow channel 3143 toward the second dispensing hole 3146 under the action of gravity, thereby realizing a continuous liquid discharge form of the detergent, and there is no need to additionally set up a power component for driving the flow of detergent in the second flow channel 3143, thereby reducing the number of components and reducing costs.
[0066] In order to achieve that when the same delivery component 1000 is used for delivery, the amount of detergent discharged is greater than the amount of care agent discharged each time the user presses the delivery component 1000, the present application sets the second flow channel 3143 as a gravity flow channel, that is, the detergent in the second flow channel 3143 can automatically flow toward the second delivery hole 3146 under the action of gravity, without the need to set the drive of power components such as the delivery component 200. That is, each time the delivery component 1000 is pressed, the amount of detergent discharged is equal to the sum of the amount of liquid discharged from the first flow channel 3141 and the amount of liquid discharged from the second flow channel 3143, and each time the delivery component 1000 is pressed, the amount of care agent discharged is equal to the amount of liquid discharged from the third flow channel. Therefore, when the amount of liquid discharged from the first flow channel 3141 is the same as the amount of liquid discharged from the third flow channel, and the viscosity of the liquid is not considered, each time the user presses the delivery component 1000, the amount of detergent discharged will be more than the amount of liquid discharged from the care agent by the amount of the second flow 3143.
[0067] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the delivery component 1000 also includes a nozzle body 300, and the first flow channel 3141, the second flow channel 3143 and the delivery chamber 313 are all arranged on the nozzle body 300. The nozzle body 300 has a first delivery hole 3145 and a second delivery hole 3146. The first delivery hole 3145 can connect the delivery chamber 313 and the first flow channel 3141, and the second delivery hole 3146 can connect the delivery chamber 313 and the second flow channel 3143.
[0068] The delivery component 200 is connected to the first delivery hole 3145. When the delivery component 200 is working, it can drive the detergent in the first flow channel 3141 to flow toward the first delivery hole 3145, thereby delivering the detergent into the delivery cavity 313, thereby realizing automatic delivery of the detergent.
[0069] like Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the nozzle body 300 has a liquid inlet hole 321, which is connected to the second flow channel 3143, and a first storage box 700 is provided on the top of the nozzle body 300, and the liquid outlet of the first storage box 700 is connected to the liquid inlet hole 321.
[0070] Specifically, the first storage box 700 has a liquid outlet (not shown in the figure), and the detergent in the first storage box can be discharged from the liquid outlet, and then enter the second flow channel 3143 and the first flow channel 3141 through the liquid inlet hole 321, so as to facilitate the realization of various liquid outlet forms and enrich the liquid outlet forms, thereby meeting the user's usage needs in different scenarios.
[0071] like Figure 3 , Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the nozzle body 300 includes a nozzle body 31 and a cover plate 32, the liquid inlet hole 321 is provided on the cover plate 32, the second delivery hole 3146 is provided on the nozzle body 31, the nozzle body 31 and the cover plate 32 are connected, thereby defining a second flow channel 3143, the nozzle body 31 and the cover plate 32 can be connected by a snap-fit method, or by fasteners, or by welding or bonding, to ensure the reliability of the connection between the two.
[0072] Among them, the upper surface of the nozzle body 31 has a guide groove, the top of the guide groove is open, and the cover plate 32 is arranged on the nozzle body 31. The cover plate 32 can close the top opening of the guide groove. The cover plate 32 and the guide groove define a second flow channel 3143, which has a simple structure and is easy to form.
[0073] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some examples, the cover plate 32 is provided with an annular rib 322, which protrudes from the surface of the cover plate 32, and the annular rib 322 surrounds the liquid inlet hole 321. The first storage box 700 is provided with a removable sealing plug 701, and the first storage box 700 can cooperate with the annular rib 322 through the sealing plug 701.
[0074] Specifically, the sealing plug 701 is located inside the first storage box 700, and the cover plate 32 is located outside the first storage box 700. The sealing plug 701 cooperates with the annular convex rib 322 to achieve connection between the first storage box 700 and the cover plate 32, thereby fixing the first storage box 700 on the nozzle body 300. The sealing plug 701 can be arranged concentrically with the annular convex rib 322, which is beneficial to assembly reliability and sealing.
[0075] In some specific examples, the sealing plug 701 can form a one-way liquid outlet channel. When the first storage box 700 is separated from the nozzle body 300, the sealing plug 701 is in a blocked state, and the liquid in the first storage box 700 will not flow out from the position where the sealing plug 701 is located. When the first storage box 700 and the nozzle body 300 are in place, the convex column in the annular rib 322 stops the sealing plug 701, so that the sealing plug 701 switches to a conductive state, thereby ensuring smooth liquid discharge.
[0076] The nozzle body 31 includes a top plate 312 and a bottom plate 311 . The top plate 312 forms a top wall of the delivery cavity 313 , and the bottom plate 311 forms a bottom wall of the delivery cavity 313 .
[0077] During operation, after the mixed liquid of water and detergent or care agent is collected in the delivery chamber 313, it will flow downward under the action of gravity and be received by the bottom plate 311. In addition, since the bottom plate 311 is provided with a plurality of through holes 3110 arranged at intervals, each through hole 3110 is connected with the delivery chamber 313, so that the liquid in the delivery chamber 313 can flow out through the through hole 3110. Therefore, the mixed liquid of water and detergent received on the bottom plate 311 can flow out through the through holes 3110 opened on the bottom plate 311, so that the mixed liquid of water and detergent evenly mixed in the delivery chamber 313 can be delivered to the washing device.
[0078] Furthermore, under the diversion effect of multiple spaced through holes 3110, the water flow mixed with detergent becomes more uniform and the flow rate of the water flow decreases after passing through multiple through holes 3110, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of liquid splashing caused by the high-speed water flow directly impacting the clothes, thereby improving the user experience.
[0079] like Figure 7 As shown, the through hole 3110 forms a circular hole to facilitate the processing of the bottom plate 311 of the nozzle body 31. In some embodiments, the through hole 3110 forms a square hole. Of course, the through hole 3110 can also be formed as a triangular hole or a through hole 3110 of other shapes, which is not limited here.
[0080] The through hole 3110 is arranged in the middle of the bottom plate 311. In order to ensure the connection strength between the bottom plate 311 and the nozzle body 31, the through hole 3110 is not provided at the two ends of the bottom plate 311. In order to prevent the water flow received at the two ends of the bottom plate 311 from being retained at the two ends of the bottom plate 311, the two ends of the bottom plate 311 gradually extend downward in the direction close to the middle of the bottom plate 311. Thus, the water flow received at the two ends of the bottom plate 311 can flow to the middle of the bottom plate 311 under the action of gravity, and flow out through the through hole 3110 provided in the middle of the bottom plate 311, thereby preventing the water flow from being retained on the bottom plate 311 and affecting the user experience of the washing device.
[0081] Such as 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the delivery chamber 313 has a front opening to facilitate the installation of parts arranged in the delivery chamber 313. For example, through the front opening of the delivery chamber 313, parts such as the water dividing plate 500 and the drawer 400 can be arranged in the delivery chamber 313, making the installation more convenient. Moreover, when the water flow rate is large, the opening on the front side of the delivery chamber 313 can also deliver a part of the water flow to the outside of the delivery chamber 313 to increase the delivery speed of the water flow.
[0082] Specifically, the through hole 3110 can be provided at the front of the bottom plate 311. In order to ensure the connection strength between the bottom plate 311 and the nozzle body 31, the through hole 3110 is not provided at the rear end of the bottom plate 311. In order to prevent the water flow received at the rear end of the bottom plate 311 from being retained at the rear end of the bottom plate 311, the middle part of the bottom plate 311 gradually extends downward from the back to the front, so that the water flow received at the rear end of the bottom plate 311 can flow to the front of the bottom plate 311 under the action of gravity, and flow out through the through hole 3110 provided at the front of the bottom plate 311 and the opening at the front, thereby preventing the water flow from being retained on the bottom plate 311 and affecting the user experience of the washing device.
[0083] Furthermore, the middle part of the bottom plate 311 gradually extends downward from the back to the front, and when the water flow rate is large, the water flow can be gathered at the opening on the front side of the delivery cavity 313, so that the opening on the front side of the delivery cavity 313 can deliver water to increase the delivery speed of the water flow.
[0084] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to a further embodiment of the present invention, the delivery component 200 is connected to the first flow channel 3141, and the delivery component 1000 further includes a movable driving component 102, which cooperates with the delivery component 200 to control the delivery component 200 to operate.
[0085] Specifically, a portion of the detergent entering the second flow channel 3143 can flow toward the second delivery hole 3146 along the extension direction of the second flow channel 3143, thereby realizing the discharge of the detergent, and another portion of the detergent entering the second flow channel 3143 can enter the first flow channel 3141 through the liquid hole 3144. Driven by the driving component 102, the delivery component 200 delivers the detergent in the first flow channel 3141 toward the first delivery hole 3145, thereby realizing the discharge of the detergent, enriching the discharge form, and satisfying the user's usage needs in different scenarios.
[0086] In some embodiments, the delivery component 200 is a grid pump, and the delivery component 200 pumps out a certain volume of solution per cycle. Therefore, each time the driving component 102 is driven, the amount of liquid discharged from the first flow channel 3141 is constant, thereby realizing a quantitative liquid discharge method. By providing the delivery component 200, quantitative delivery of detergent can be realized, and continuous delivery of detergent can be realized through the second delivery hole 3146, thereby increasing the single delivery amount of detergent.
[0087] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the nozzle body 300 is provided with a liquid hole 3142, the liquid hole 3142 is connected to the first flow channel 3141, the inlet 202 of the delivery component 200 is connected to the liquid hole 3142, and the outlet 201 of the delivery component 200 is connected to the first delivery hole 3145. When the delivery component 200 is working, the detergent at the liquid hole 3142 can be delivered to the first delivery hole 3145, thereby achieving the delivery of the detergent.
[0088] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a first restoring member 1031 is provided between the driving member 102 and the delivery member 200 to drive the driving member 102 to move toward the initial position. That is, when the force acting on the driving member 102 is cancelled, the first restoring member 1031 can provide a restoring force for the driving member 102, so that the driving member 102 returns to the initial position, which is convenient for subsequent control.
[0089] The driving component 102 has a positioning portion, and one end of the first reset member 1031 cooperates with the positioning portion so that the first reset member 1031 can be stably arranged between the driving component 102 and the delivery component 200 to achieve stable reset. The positioning portion here forms a positioning groove or a positioning column to achieve a better positioning effect.
[0090] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the nozzle body 300 has a mounting recess 315 with an opening facing upward, the delivery component 200 is arranged in the mounting recess 315, the inlet 202 of the delivery component 200 is connected to the liquid hole 3142, and the outlet 201 of the delivery component 200 is connected to the first delivery hole 3145.
[0091] In some embodiments, an exterior component 101 is provided on the top of the nozzle body 300, and the exterior component 101 defines a mounting channel 1011, and the driving component 102 is suitable for moving in the mounting channel 1011. By providing the mounting channel 1011 on the exterior component 101, the mounting channel 1011 can be used to position and guide the movement of the driving component 102.
[0092] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, the driving component 102 includes a driving button 1022 and a transmission member 1027, and the driving button 1022 cooperates with the delivery component 200 through the transmission member 1027 to control the operation of the delivery component 200. The transmission member 1027 may include a gear rack mechanism or a worm gear mechanism, and the rack 1028 in the gear rack mechanism extends along the moving direction of the driving component 102.
[0093] Specifically, the driving button 1022 can be movable between a first position and a second position, and the driving button 1022 can be limited by the exterior component 101 at the first position and the second position, thereby preventing the driving button 1022 from being separated from the installation channel 1011. The first position is located outside the second position in the extension direction of the installation channel 1011, and when the driving button 1022 is in the initial state, the driving button 1022 is located at the first position. By pressing the driving button 1022, the driving button 1022 moves inward along the installation channel 1011, thereby controlling the operation of the delivery component 200.
[0094] In some specific examples, a matching groove is provided on the inner side of the driving button 1022, and the transmission member 1027 includes a matching plate that is abutted against the bottom wall of the matching groove, and the matching is reliable. When the user presses the driving button 1022 to move in an oblique downward direction, the transmission member 1027 moves with the driving button 1022, thereby driving the delivery component 200 to work.
[0095] The first restoring member 1031 is disposed between the matching plate and the delivery member 200 to move the driving button 1022 toward the initial position (first position). In other words, when the user cancels the pressing force on the driving button 1022, the first restoring member 1031 can drive the transmission member 1027 to return the driving button 1022 to the initial position.
[0096] like Figure 2-Figure 3As shown, according to a further embodiment of the present invention, the nozzle body 300 is provided with a valve assembly 600, and the valve assembly 600 is movable relative to the nozzle body 300 to open and close the first delivery hole 3145; and / or, when the valve assembly 600 moves relative to the nozzle body 300, it can also open and close the second delivery hole 3146.
[0097] The valve assembly 600 can move under the action of external force. By setting the valve assembly 600, the opening and closing control of the first delivery hole 3145 and / or the second delivery hole 3146 can be achieved to prevent leakage.
[0098] like Fig.11 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the valve assembly 600 includes a movable valve plate 601 for opening and closing the first detergent delivery hole 3145 and the second detergent delivery hole 3146 .
[0099] Thus, by controlling the movement of the valve plate 601, the opening and closing of the first detergent delivery hole 3145 and the second detergent delivery hole 3146 can be controlled. In order to ensure the sealing effect of the valve plate 601 on the first detergent delivery hole 3145 and the second detergent delivery hole 3146, the diameter of the valve plate 601 is larger than the diameter of the first detergent delivery hole 3145 and the second detergent delivery hole 3146.
[0100] Specifically, the valve plate 601 is located below the first detergent delivery hole 3145 and the second detergent delivery hole 3146, so as to avoid the delivery pump 200. The valve assembly 400 controls the opening and closing of the first detergent delivery hole 3145 and the second detergent delivery hole 3146 by moving up and down. When the valve plate 601 moves downward, the first detergent delivery hole 3145 and the second detergent delivery hole 3146 can be opened, and when the valve plate 601 moves upward, the first detergent delivery hole 3145 and the second detergent delivery hole 3146 can be closed.
[0101] like Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the valve assembly 600 also includes a push member 602, which is connected to the valve plate 601. The push member 602 can move under the action of external force, thereby driving the valve plate 601 to move to open and close the first detergent delivery hole 3145 and the second detergent delivery hole 3146.
[0102] In some embodiments, the nozzle body 300 has a mounting hole 3120 , and the push member 602 is inserted into the mounting hole 3120 . The push member 602 can be connected to the valve plate 601 located below the first detergent delivery hole 3145 and the second detergent delivery hole 3146 .
[0103] Recombination Figure 2From the above, a second reset member 1032 is provided between the push member 602 and the nozzle body 300 to drive the push member 602 to drive the valve plate 601 to close the first detergent delivery hole 3145 and the second detergent delivery hole 3146. In other words, when the force applied to the push member 602 is cancelled, the second reset member 1032 can provide a reset force for the push member 602, so that the push member 602 drives the valve plate 601 to return to the position of closing the first detergent delivery hole 3145 and / or the second detergent delivery hole 3146.
[0104] Specifically, one end of the second reset member 1032 cooperates with the pushing member 602, and the other end of the second reset member 1032 cooperates with the nozzle body 301. When the pushing member 602 is subjected to downward pressure, the pushing member 602 and the valve plate 601 connected thereto are suitable for moving downward from the position of closing the first detergent delivery hole 3145 and the second detergent delivery hole 3146, and compressing the second reset member 1032, so that the second reset member 1032 has a reset force. When the downward force on the pushing member 602 is gradually withdrawn, the reset force applied by the second reset member 1032 to the pushing member 602 can drive the pushing member 602 and the valve plate 601 to move to the position of closing the first detergent delivery hole 3145 and the second detergent delivery hole 3146.
[0105] In some examples, the upper surface of the nozzle body 300 has a boss protruding upward, the middle part of the boss defines a guide channel, the mounting hole 3120 is provided at the top of the boss and is connected to the guide channel, at least a portion of the push member 602 is located in the guide channel, the second reset member 1032 is located in the guide channel, one end of the second reset member 1032 stops against the inner surface of the top wall of the boss and the other end stops against the positioning step on the push member 602.
[0106] like Fig.11 As shown, in some embodiments, the push member 602 includes a push rod 6021 and a mounting seat 6022, one end of the push rod 6021 extends out of the nozzle body 300, the other end of the push rod 6021 extends into the nozzle body 301, the mounting seat 6022 is arranged in the nozzle body 300, the mounting seat 6022 is detachably connected to the other end of the push rod 6021, and the valve plate 601 is mounted on the mounting seat 6022. Specifically, the middle part of the mounting seat 6022 is detachably connected to the other end of the push rod 6021, for example, the mounting seat 6022 and the other end of the push rod 6021 can be threadedly matched, a fixing column is provided at a position deviating from the middle part of the mounting seat 6022, and the valve plate 601 is matched with the fixing column.
[0107] In some specific examples, the second reset member 1032 is formed into a spring, which is sleeved on the push rod 6021, with one end of the spring abutting against the mounting seat 6022 and the other end abutting against the nozzle body 300, which has a simple structure and is easy to assemble and disassemble.
[0108] In some examples, the first detergent delivery hole 3145 and the second detergent delivery hole 3146 can be independently controlled by a set of valve assemblies respectively. For example, one set of valve assemblies is set at the first detergent delivery hole 3145, and another set of valve assemblies is set at the second detergent delivery hole 3146, and the two sets of valve assemblies can move independently.
[0109] like Figure 8 As shown, in an embodiment where the delivery component 1000 includes a nozzle body 300, the third flow channel can be arranged on the nozzle body, and the nozzle body 300 has a third delivery hole 3148, and the third delivery hole 3148 connects the delivery chamber 313 and the third flow channel, and the third delivery hole 3148 connects the delivery chamber 313 and the third flow channel, and the third flow channel is suitable for connecting with the second storage box 800 to deliver the care agent through the third delivery hole 3148.
[0110] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the dispensing component 1000 also includes a drawer 400, which defines a detergent dissolving chamber 401. The drawer 400 is push-pull disposed in the dispensing chamber 313 between an open position and a closed position. When the drawer 400 is in the closed position, the drawer 400 is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the dispensing chamber 313 (the bottom plate 311 as shown in the figure).
[0111] The detergent flowing out from the first delivery hole 3145 and the second delivery hole 3146 or the care agent flowing out from the third delivery hole 3148 directly enters the detergent dissolution chamber 401. After the water enters the detergent dissolution chamber 401 and is fully mixed with the detergent or the care agent, it enters the delivery chamber 313 through the liquid outlet 402 of the detergent dissolution chamber 401, and is finally discharged from the multiple through holes 3110 on the bottom plate 311 of the nozzle body 31, thereby improving the washing effect of the washing device.
[0112] In some embodiments, two oppositely disposed side walls of the drawer 400 respectively have guide rails 403, and two oppositely disposed side walls of the delivery cavity 313 respectively have guide grooves 404. The two guide rails 403 and the two guide grooves 404 are slidably matched one by one, so that the drawer 400 can slide along the extension direction of the guide grooves 404, ensuring that the drawer 400 can be opened and closed smoothly and stably. In addition, the guide grooves 404 disposed on the side walls of the delivery cavity 313 can support the guide rails 403 of the drawer 400, so that the drawer 400 is stably installed in the delivery cavity 313.
[0113] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, according to some other embodiments of the present invention, the dispensing component 1000 also includes a water diversion plate 500, which is provided with a plurality of water outlet holes 501. The water diversion plate 500 is disposed in the dispensing cavity 313 and is located above the drawer 400. The water diversion plate 500 can divert the water flow before the water flows into the detergent dissolving cavity 401, thereby ensuring that the water flows evenly into the detergent dissolving cavity 401.
[0114] Specifically, the water dividing plate 500 and the top wall of the delivery chamber 313 define a water containing chamber 502, so that the water flow is buffered by the water containing chamber 502, the flow rate of the water flow is slowed down, and the water flow can flow evenly into the delivery chamber 313, thereby making the mixing of the water flow and the detergent more uniform.
[0115] like Figure 3 As shown, the water diversion plate 500 can be connected to the top wall of the delivery cavity 313 by a plurality of fasteners to ensure the installation reliability of the water diversion plate 500 .
[0116] Among them, the water diversion plate 500 has an avoidance hole 503 for avoiding the first washing delivery hole, that is, the avoidance hole 503 can avoid the valve assembly 600, which not only ensures that the detergent can directly enter the delivery chamber 313 and avoid the detergent being delivered into the water holding chamber 502, but also ensures that the valve assembly 600 can normally open and close the first delivery hole 3145 and the second delivery hole 3146.
[0117] The washing device according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises the dispensing assembly 1000 according to the above embodiment. The washing device here can be a clothes processing device, a dishwasher, etc.
[0118] Since the dispensing component 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention has the above-mentioned technical effect, the washing device according to the embodiment of the present invention also has the above-mentioned technical effect, that is, the above-mentioned dispensing component 1000 is adopted to enrich the liquid outlet form, so as to meet the user's usage needs in different scenarios. When a single flow channel fails, another flow channel can be used for dispensing, which will not affect the normal use of the dispensing component 1000, thereby ensuring the user's usage experience.
