[0035] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and 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 only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0036] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0037] In a washing device, water and a treatment agent need to be added into a washing chamber (eg, a clothes treatment chamber) so as to use the water and the treatment agent to clean the clothes, thereby making the clothes cleaner.

[0038] In the prior art, the treatment agent is released by driving the dispensing device through horizontal or vertical movement of a driving component. Since the stroke of the driving component is short, the amount of treatment agent that can be released in one movement of the driving component is small, resulting in the user having to press the driving component multiple times to achieve a large dose of release. In addition, the pressing process is laborious and may cause hand jamming, affecting the operating experience.

[0039] To this end, the embodiment of the present invention designs a dispensing device in which a driving component moves obliquely downward toward the inside of an exterior component to drive a dispensing device to dispense a treatment agent. Compared with a driving component moving in a horizontal or vertical direction, a driving component moving in an oblique downward direction can move a longer stroke in a limited installation space, and the amount of treatment agent dispensed is related to the stroke of the driving component. The longer the stroke, the greater the amount of dispensing. Therefore, setting the driving component to move in an oblique downward direction can achieve a larger dose of treatment agent dispensed. Moreover, among driving components with the same motion stroke, the obliquely set driving component has a shorter vertical projection length, which avoids the occurrence of hand jamming and improves the operating experience.

[0040] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 8 The delivery device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0041] like Figure 1-Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the delivery device 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention may include: an exterior component 101 and a driving component 102 .

[0042] An appearance surface 1012 is formed on one side of the exterior component 101. The exterior component 101 has a mounting channel 1011. The driving component 102 is suitable for being pressed and moving along the mounting channel 1011. In other words, the driving component 102 is movably arranged in the mounting channel 1011. The driving component 102 and the mounting channel 1011 are slidably matched. The setting of the mounting channel 1011 can play a role in positioning and guiding the movement of the driving component 102. The driving component 102 moves in the mounting channel 1011 to achieve the purpose of driving the delivery device 1000.

[0043] The installation channel 1011 extends obliquely downward from the exterior surface 1012 toward the interior of the exterior component 101, and one end of the installation channel 1011 passes through the exterior surface 1012. When the driving component 102 is pressed, the driving component 102 is adapted to move obliquely downward from the exterior surface 1012 toward the interior of the exterior component 101.

[0044] When using the washing device, the user can drive the dispensing device 1000 by pressing the driving component 102 downward. Since the user can use gravity to reduce the pressing force when applying pressure downward, it is more ergonomic, making the force application process more comfortable and the operating feel better.

[0045] In addition, within the limited installation space of the washing equipment, the driving component 102 moves in a tilted downward direction toward the inside of the exterior component 101, which can also increase the stroke of the driving component 102 within the limited installation space. Since the amount of treatment agent added is related to the stroke of the driving component 102, the longer the stroke, the greater the amount added. Therefore, the tilted moving driving component 102 achieves the delivery of a larger dose of treatment agent.

[0046] Furthermore, among the driving components 102 with the same movement stroke, the driving component 102 that moves in a downwardly inclined direction toward the inside of the exterior component 101 has a smaller displacement in the vertical direction, thereby avoiding hand jamming during operation and improving the operating experience.

[0047] According to the delivery device 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention, the delivery device 1000 can increase the amount of treatment agent delivered by the driving component in one operation to drive the delivery pump, reduce the number of operations required when delivering the treatment agent, and can also take into account the user's pressing operation experience, reduce the operation force, avoid the phenomenon of getting stuck during operation, and improve the operation experience.

[0048] Specifically, Figure 8In the figure, OA direction is the left-right direction, OB direction is the front-back direction, and OC direction is the up-down direction. Generally speaking, in order to facilitate user operation, the driving component 102 of the delivery device 1000 is usually arranged forward to meet the user's operating habits. Specifically, the installation channel 1011 extends downward from front to back, that is, the angle between the installation channel 1011 and the horizontal direction is greater than 0° and less than 90°, and the horizontal direction is Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the OB direction shown, the user presses the driving component 102 to move the driving component 102 backward and downward to achieve delivery.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 As shown, the driving component 102 is suitable for moving from the initial position toward the direction away from the appearance surface 1012 under the action of pressing, so as to drive the delivery device 1000 to deliver. Specifically, the driving component 102 can be movable between the initial position and the delivery position. When the driving component 102 is in the initial position, the delivery function of the delivery device 1000 is turned off. When the driving component 102 moves to the delivery position, the delivery function of the delivery device 1000 is turned on.

[0050] In some embodiments, a portion of the driving component 102 protrudes from the outer surface of the exterior component 101. The user presses the protruding portion of the driving component 102 to move the driving component 102 along the installation channel 1011, thereby making the driving component 100 more operable and making it easier for the user to apply force to the driving component 102.

[0051] In other embodiments, in the initial position, the driving component 102 is flush with the exterior surface, which can reduce the space occupied by the driving component 102 and make the appearance of the delivery device 1000 smoother, thereby improving the aesthetics.

[0052] Reference Figure 5 The cross-sectional area of ​​the installation channel 1011 gradually expands from the outside to the inside, that is, the installation channel 1011 presents a trumpet shape from the outside to the inside, so that during the movement of the driving component 100 from the outside to the inside, the gap between the driving component 100 and the wall surface gradually increases. As the gap gradually increases, when the user presses the driving component 100, the inward movement of the driving component 100 becomes smoother during the pressing process, thereby improving the operating feel of the driving component 100.

[0053] like Figure 5As shown, the driving component 100 includes: a movable driving button 1022, which is tilted. Specifically, the angle between the driving button 1022 and the horizontal direction is greater than 0° and less than 90°, thereby allowing the user to have a larger operating space, making it easier for the user to press the driving button 1022, avoiding getting stuck during the process of pressing the driving button 1022, and improving the user experience.

[0054] In some embodiments, the angle between the driving button 1022 and the horizontal direction is [30°, 50°], so that the user has a larger operating space, which makes it easier for the user to press the driving button 1022 and avoids getting stuck in the process of pressing the driving button 1022, further improving the user experience.

[0055] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the dispensing device 1000 further includes: a dispensing pump 200, which can be used to dispense the treatment agent. Specifically, when the driving button 1022 is pressed, the driving component 100 is suitable for moving from an initial position toward a direction away from the appearance surface 1012 under the pressing action of the driving button 1022. The driving component 100 can cooperate with the dispensing pump 200, and during the movement of the driving component 100, the dispensing pump 200 can pump out the treatment agent outward, thereby enabling the dispensing pump 200 to dispense the treatment agent under the pressing of the driving button 1022.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the driving component 102 includes a transmission member 1027, and the transmission member 1027 cooperates with the delivery pump 200 for transmission. The transmission member 1027 also cooperates with the driving button 1022. Specifically, the driving button 1022 drives the delivery pump 200 to operate through the transmission member 1027. When the driving button 1022 is pressed, the transmission member 1027 is suitable for moving in a direction away from the appearance surface 1012. During the movement of the transmission member 1027, the transmission member 1027 cooperates with the delivery pump 200 for transmission, so that an external force can be applied to the delivery pump 200, thereby driving the delivery pump 200 to pump out the treatment agent outward.

[0057] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the transmission member 1027 includes a rack, and a gear is provided in the delivery pump 200. The rack of the transmission member 1027 can cooperate with the gear in the delivery pump 200 to enable the delivery pump 200 to operate under the drive of the driving component 102 to achieve the delivery of the treatment agent.

[0058] In some other embodiments, the transmission member 1027 includes a worm gear mechanism. In some other embodiments, the transmission member 1027 includes a rack and a ratchet gear matched therewith. Of course, the transmission member 1027 can also be other types of transmission mechanisms, which are not limited here.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a matching groove is provided on one side of the driving button 1022 close to the transmission member 1027, and the transmission member 1027 includes a matching plate that is abutted against the matching groove, and the matching groove and the matching plate are abutted against each other. The driving button 1022 and the transmission member 1027 can complete the matching transmission when the driving button 1022 and the transmission member 1027 are separated through the matching groove and the matching plate. The side wall of the matching groove can limit the matching plate to ensure the stability of the transmission member 1027. When the driving button 1022 is pressed, the bottom wall of the matching groove can push the matching plate, so that the transmission member 1027 moves along with the movement of the driving button 1022.

[0060] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 According to some embodiments of the present invention, a first reset member 1031 is provided between the driving member 102 and the delivery pump 200 to drive the driving member 102 to move toward the initial position. When the external force applied to the driving member 102 is removed, the first reset member 1031 can provide a reset force to the driving member 102 to return the driving member 102 to the initial position.

[0061] 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 disposed between the driving component 102 and the delivery pump 200 to achieve stable reset.

[0062] Specifically, the first restoring member 1031 is connected to the driving component 102, one end of the first restoring member 1031 cooperates with the positioning portion of the driving component 102, and the other end of the first restoring member 1031 is fixedly arranged with the delivery pump 200. When the driving component 102 is subjected to external force, the driving component 102 is suitable for moving obliquely downward from the initial position and compressing the first restoring member 1031, so that the first restoring member 1031 has a restoring force. When the external force applied to the driving assembly 100 disappears, at this time, the first restoring member 1031 is suitable for applying a restoring force to the driving component 102 to drive the driving component 102 to move to the initial position, thereby resetting the driving component 102.

[0063] Wherein, the positioning portion forms a positioning groove or a positioning column to achieve a better positioning effect.

[0064] like Figure 3As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the driving component 102 includes a driving button 1022 and a transmission member 1027. The driving button 1022 is tilted, that is, the angle between the driving button 1022 and the horizontal direction is greater than 0° and less than 90°, thereby allowing the user to have a larger operating space to facilitate the user in pressing the driving button 1022, thereby avoiding getting stuck in the process of pressing the driving button 1022, and improving the user experience.

[0065] One end of the transmission member 1027 close to the exterior surface 1012 cooperates with the driving button 1022, so that when the user presses the driving button 1022, the transmission member 1027 can be driven to move in a direction away from the exterior surface 1012. The transmission member 1027 is also driven and cooperated with the delivery pump 200, so that when the transmission member 1027 moves, the delivery pump 200 can be driven to pump out the treatment agent. Specifically, the driving button 1022 drives the delivery pump 200 to operate through the transmission member 1027. When the driving button 1022 is pressed, the transmission member 1027 is suitable for moving in a direction away from the exterior surface 1012. During the movement of the transmission member 1027, the transmission member 1027 is driven and cooperated with the delivery pump 200, so that an external force can be applied to the delivery pump 200, thereby driving the delivery pump 200 to pump out the treatment agent.

[0066] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the delivery device 100 further includes: a valve assembly 400, which is movably disposed at the delivery hole 307 to open or close the delivery hole 307. By controlling the movement of the valve assembly 400 at the delivery hole 307, the opening and closing of the delivery hole 307 can be controlled. Therefore, by controlling the opening and closing of the delivery hole 307, the delivery amount of the treatment agent can be better controlled to achieve a better delivery effect.

[0067] The driving component 102 can move when driven by an external force. The driving component 102 can cooperate with the valve assembly 400 . The movement of the driving component 102 can drive the valve assembly 400 to open the delivery hole 307 .

[0068] In other embodiments, the driving component 102 can control the delivery pump 200 to work while driving the valve component 400 to open the delivery hole 307, and the treatment agent pumped out by the delivery pump 200 can directly enter the delivery chamber 302 through the opened delivery hole 307, thereby achieving the delivery of the treatment agent. In other words, the valve component 400 and the delivery pump 200 can be driven to work together by a driving component 102 at the same time, thereby reducing the number of driving structures in the delivery device 1000, making the overall structure of the delivery device 1000 simpler, reducing the manufacturing cost, and since the valve component 400 and the delivery pump 200 work at the same time, the valve component 400 will open the delivery hole 307 when the treatment agent needs to be delivered, thereby avoiding the situation that the delivery device 1000 leaks, making the device as a whole more reliable. In addition, since the valve component 400 and the delivery pump 200 work together, the treatment agent can be delivered intermittently during the washing process, and no leakage will occur during the delivery process, thereby improving the washing effect of the washing equipment.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the driving component 102 has a driving surface 1025 , and the driving surface 1025 can slidably cooperate with the valve assembly 400 to drive the valve assembly 400 to open the delivery hole 307 through the driving surface 1025 when the driving component 102 is pressed.

[0070] Specifically, when the driving component 102 moves obliquely downward, the driving surface 1025 will also move simultaneously. As the height of the driving surface 1025 gradually decreases, the valve assembly 400 can be pushed to move, so that the valve assembly 400 opens the delivery hole 307 .

[0071] Therefore, when the moving direction of the driving component 102 is different from that of the valve assembly 400 , the driving surface 1025 can transmit the movement trend of the driving component 102 toward the movement direction of the valve assembly 400 to the valve assembly 400 , so as to realize the driving of the valve assembly 400 by the driving component 102 .

[0072] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the valve assembly 400 is movable in the up and down directions. When the driving component 102 is in the initial position, the driving surface 1025 is located above the valve assembly 400 and extends downwardly in a direction close to the valve assembly 400.

[0073] It can be understood that, in the initial position, the contact point between the driving component 102 and the valve assembly 400 is at the highest position. As the driving component 102 moves obliquely downward along the installation channel 1011, the contact point between the driving component 102 and the valve assembly 400 gradually decreases, thereby causing the valve assembly 400 to move downward under the drive of the driving component 102. As a result, the driving surface 1025 can convert the oblique downward movement trend of the driving component 102 into a downward movement trend of the valve assembly 400, thereby pushing the valve assembly 400 to move downward, so as to control the opening and closing of the delivery hole 307 by controlling the movement of the valve assembly 400.

[0074] Furthermore, the driving surface 1025 extends downwardly in a direction close to the valve assembly 400 , which can prevent the valve assembly 400 from being subjected to lateral pressure, causing the valve assembly 400 to bend and affecting the reliability of the movement of the valve assembly 400 .

[0075] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the driving component 102 is in the initial position, the end of the driving surface 1025 away from the valve assembly 400 has a limiting portion 10251, and the limiting portion 10251 can cooperate with the valve assembly 400 to limit the displacement of the driving component 102.

[0076] Specifically, when the user presses the driving component 102, after the driving component 102 moves a certain distance diagonally downward, the limit portion 10251 is suitable for abutting against the valve assembly 400, so that the valve assembly 400 limits the driving component 102 from continuing to move diagonally downward, allowing the driving component 102 to move within a certain displacement range, thereby avoiding the driving component 102 from getting stuck and the like, thereby improving the reliability of the delivery device 1000.

[0077] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the driving surface 1025 extends upwardly at an angle along the moving direction of the driving component 102, so that the driving surface 1025 can convert the oblique downward movement trend of the driving component 102 into the downward movement trend of the valve assembly 400, and push the valve assembly 400 to move downward, so as to control the opening and closing of the delivery hole 307 by controlling the movement of the valve assembly 400.

[0078] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The outlet 201 of the delivery pump 200 is located above the delivery hole 307, so that the treatment agent delivered by the delivery pump 200 can flow downward under the action of gravity and enter the delivery cavity 302 through the delivery hole 307, thereby preventing the treatment agent from being retained in the delivery device 1000.

[0079] like Figure 5-Figure 7As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the valve assembly 400 includes: a movable valve plate 401 for opening and closing the delivery hole 307. By controlling the movement of the valve plate 401, the opening and closing of the delivery hole 307 can be controlled.

[0080] In order to ensure the sealing effect of the valve plate 401 on the delivery hole 307, the diameter of the valve plate 401 is larger than the diameter of the delivery hole 307. Specifically, the valve plate 401 is located below the delivery hole 307, so as to avoid the delivery pump 200. The valve assembly 400 controls the opening and closing of the delivery hole 307 by moving up and down. When the valve plate 401 moves downward, the delivery hole 307 can be opened, and when the valve plate 401 moves upward, the delivery hole 307 can be closed.

[0081] In some embodiments, the valve assembly 400 further includes a pusher 402 , which is connected to the valve plate 401 . The pusher 402 can move under the drive of the driving component 102 , thereby driving the valve plate 401 to move.

[0082] Specifically, one end of the push member 402 can pass through the nozzle body 301, thereby connecting with the valve plate 401 located below the delivery hole 307, and the other end of the push member 402 can cooperate with the driving surface 1025 of the driving component 102, so that the driving component 102 can drive the push member 402 to move downward and drive the valve plate 401 to move to open and close the delivery hole 307.

[0083] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the nozzle body 301 has a mounting hole 3013 , and the push member 402 is passed through the mounting hole 3013 , so that the push member 402 can be connected to the valve plate 401 located below the delivery hole 307 .

[0084] Recombination Figure 1 From the above, a second reset member 1032 is provided between the push member 402 and the nozzle body 301 to drive the push member 402 to drive the valve plate 401 to close the injection hole 307. In other words, the driving component 102 is reset under the action of the first reset member 1031. During the reset process, the driving component 102 gradually withdraws the force acting on the push member 402. The second reset member 1032 can provide a reset force for the push member 402, so that the push member 402 drives the valve plate 401 back to the position of closing the injection hole 307.

[0085] Specifically, one end of the second reset member 1032 cooperates with the pushing member 402, and the other end of the second reset member 1032 cooperates with the nozzle body 301. When the pushing member 402 is subjected to the downward pressure of the driving component 102, the pushing member 402 and the valve plate 401 connected thereto are suitable for moving downward from the position of closing the delivery hole 307 and compressing the second reset member 1032, so that the second reset member 1032 has a reset force. When the driving component 102 gradually withdraws the downward force on the pushing member 402, the reset force applied by the second reset member 1032 to the pushing member 402 can drive the pushing member 402 and the valve plate 401 to move to the position of closing the delivery hole 307.

[0086] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments, the pushing member 402 includes: a push rod 4021 and a mounting seat 4022, one end of the push rod 4021 extends out of the nozzle body 301 to cooperate with the driving component 102, and the other end of the push rod 4021 extends into the nozzle body 301, the mounting seat 4022 is arranged in the nozzle body 301, and the middle part of the mounting seat 4022 is detachably connected to the other end of the push rod 4021, for example, the mounting seat 4022 and the other end of the push rod 4021 can be threadedly matched, and a fixing column is provided at a position deviating from the middle part of the mounting seat 4022, and the valve plate 401 cooperates with the fixing column.

[0087] In some specific examples, the second reset member 1032 is formed into a spring, which is sleeved on the push rod 4021 , with one end of the spring abutting against the mounting seat 4022 and the other end abutting against the nozzle body 301 , which has a simple structure and is easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0088] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 As shown, the exterior surface 1012 extends obliquely from top to bottom toward the outside of the delivery device 1000 , so that the delivery device 1000 can operate using the space outside the delivery device 1000 .

[0089] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the appearance surface 1012 extends forward from top to bottom, which not only makes it convenient for the user to observe the patterns, marks and other contents on the appearance surface 1012, but also enables the user to operate in the space in front of the delivery device 1000. In addition, the appearance surface 1012 is tilted forward, which shortens the distance between the user and the driving component 102 and makes it easier to operate.

[0090] A specific embodiment of the delivery device according to the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0091] like Figure 1As shown, the delivery device 1000 includes a driving component 100, a delivery pump 200, a nozzle assembly 300 and a valve assembly 400. The outlet 201 of the delivery pump 200 is connected to the nozzle body 301 so that the treatment agent can be delivered into the washing device. Specifically, the nozzle body 301 has a delivery cavity 302, and a delivery hole 307 connected to the delivery cavity 302 is provided on the nozzle body 301. The outlet 201 of the delivery pump 200 is connected to the delivery hole 307. The treatment agent pumped out from the outlet 201 by the delivery pump 200 under the drive of the driving component 102 can be delivered into the delivery cavity 302 of the nozzle body 301 through the delivery hole 307, and finally delivered into the washing device.

[0092] The driving component 100 includes an exterior component 101 and a driving component 102, wherein the driving component 102 is movably disposed on the exterior component 101, and the driving component 102 includes a fixedly connected driving button 1022 and a transmission member 1027, wherein the transmission member 1027 cooperates with the delivery pump 200 and the valve component 400 respectively. The user can drive the valve component 400 and the delivery pump 200 at the same time through the driving component 100 to deliver the treatment agent into the nozzle component 300, thereby achieving one-key delivery of the treatment agent.

[0093] like Figure 1 As shown, the spray head assembly 300 includes: a spray head body 301 and a drawer 303 , wherein the drawer 303 cooperates with the spray head body 301 to enable the treatment agent and the water flow to be fully mixed before the treatment agent and the water flow enter the delivery chamber 302 .

[0094] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a water diversion plate 309 is further provided in the delivery chamber 302, and the water diversion plate 309 can divert the water flow before the water flow enters the delivery chamber 302, so as to ensure that the water flow flows evenly into the delivery chamber 302. The water diversion plate 309 and the top wall of the delivery chamber 302 define a water containing chamber 310, so that the water flow is buffered by the water containing chamber 310, the flow rate of the water flow is slowed down, and the water flow can flow evenly into the delivery chamber 302, thereby making the mixing of the water flow and the treatment agent more even.

[0095] Among them, a plurality of water outlet holes 3091 are provided on the water dividing plate 309, and the apertures of the plurality of water outlet holes 3091 are set to be relatively small, so that the water flow can be diverted before the water flow enters the delivery chamber 302, ensuring that the water flow enters the delivery chamber 302 uniformly. The water inlet hole and the water outlet hole 3091 are both connected to the water containing chamber 310, so that the water flow entering the washing device from the water inlet can pass through the water containing chamber 310, and enter the delivery chamber 302 after being diverted by the plurality of water outlet holes 3091, so that the water flow is more uniform and the flow rate is slower.

[0096] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6The water dividing plate 309 and the top wall of the delivery chamber 302 can be connected by a plurality of fasteners to ensure the fixed installation of the water dividing plate 309 .

[0097] Further, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The height of the water containing chamber 310 is much smaller than the height of the delivery chamber 302, so as to leave more space for the mixing of the treatment agent and the water flow, so as to achieve a better mixing effect of the treatment agent and the water flow.

[0098] Furthermore, the nozzle body 301 has a delivery hole 307 connected to the delivery chamber 302, and the water dividing plate 309 has an avoidance hole for avoiding the first washing delivery hole. The setting of the avoidance hole on the water dividing plate 309 can ensure that the treatment agent directly enters the delivery chamber 302, thereby preventing the treatment agent from being delivered into the water containing chamber 310 and clogging the water outlet hole 3091 opened on the water dividing plate 309.

[0099] Combination Figure 5 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 State diagram for three different press positions, describing the delivery process.

[0100] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the delivery device 1000 when it is in the initial position. At this time, a part of the driving button 1022 protrudes from the appearance surface 1012, the matching groove of the driving button 1022 is stopped and matched with the matching plate of the transmission member 1027, the driving surface 1025 of the transmission member 1027 is slidably matched with the valve assembly 400, and at the same time, the transmission member 1027 is also transmission-matched with the delivery pump 200, the first reset member 1031 is connected to the transmission member 1027, one end of the first reset member 1031 is matched with the positioning portion of the transmission member 1027, and the other end of the first reset member 1031 is fixedly arranged with the delivery pump 200. One end of the second reset member 1032 is matched with the valve assembly 400, and the other end of the second reset member 1032 is matched with the nozzle body 301.

[0101] Further, if Fig. 9As shown, in the process of pressing the driving button 1022 to move the driving button 1022 in the direction away from the appearance surface 1012, the driving button 1022 is suitable for moving along the installation channel 1011 in the direction away from the appearance surface 1012. Under the action of the matching groove of the driving button 1022 and the matching plate of the transmission member 1027, the driving button 1022 drives the transmission member 1027 to move along the installation channel 1011 in the direction away from the appearance surface 1012. Furthermore, since the driving surface 1025 of the transmission member 1027 is suitable for accompanying As the transmission member 1027 moves obliquely downward, since the driving surface 1025 is located above the valve assembly 400 and extends obliquely downward in a direction close to the valve assembly 400, and the valve assembly 400 is limited in the horizontal direction, the driving surface 1025 is suitable for transmitting the downward movement trend to the valve assembly 400 during the process of the transmission member 1027 moving obliquely downward, so that the valve assembly 400 moves downward, opens the delivery hole 307, and compresses the second reset member 1032, so that the second reset member 1032 has a reset force.

[0102] Moreover, in the process that the transmission part 1027 moves in the direction away from the appearance surface 1012, the transmission part 1027 is suitable for moving in the direction close to the delivery pump 200. Under the transmission action of the transmission part 1027 and the delivery pump 200, the delivery pump 200 is driven, so that the delivery pump 200 performs the delivery action and compresses the first reset part 1031, so that the first reset part 1031 has a reset force.

[0103] like Fig.10 As shown, the driving button 1022 is further pressed so that the driving button 1022 is pressed to the delivery position. Under the action of the matching groove of the driving button 1022 and the matching plate of the transmission member 1027, the transmission member 1027 moves to the delivery position at the same time. At this time, the valve assembly 400 moves to the lowest point under the drive of the transmission member 1027 to open the delivery hole 307, and the delivery pump 200 also completes a complete delivery action under the drive of the transmission member 1027, and delivers the treatment agent through the open delivery hole 307.

[0104] After the treatment agent is dispensed, the pressing of the driving button 1022 is stopped, and the external force on the driving component 100 disappears. At this time, the first reset member 1031 is suitable for applying a reset force to the transmission member 1027 to drive the transmission member 1027 to move to the initial position, and drive the driving button 1022 to move to the initial position, so as to reset the driving component 102. At the same time, the driving component 102 will gradually withdraw the downward force on the valve component 400, and the reset force applied by the second reset member 1032 to the valve component 400 can drive the valve component 400 to move upward until the dispensing hole 307 is closed.
