Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of washing, and in particular to a washing device, a control method thereof, and a storage medium. Background Art
[0002] Washing devices need to use detergents for washing. In related technologies, taking a washing machine as an example, before washing clothes, the detergent can be directly put into the washing tub or into the detergent dispenser box, and when water enters, it directly impacts into the washing tub. Both of these methods will cause the detergent to dissolve insufficiently. The undissolved detergent adheres to the clothes, damaging the clothes and resulting in poor washing effects. At the same time, the undissolved detergent adheres to the clothes and cannot be completely rinsed off through washing and rinsing, resulting in the detergent remaining on the clothes and damaging the skin. In addition, the water flow carries the detergent into the washing tub, and the undissolved detergent may directly drip onto the clothes, causing phenomena such as color change of the clothes.

[0052] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0053] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which this application belongs. The terms used in the description of this application herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.
[0054] In related technologies, in order to enhance the dissolution effect of detergent, after a water path is set in the water inlet chamber, the water flow is used to directly impact the impeller, so that the impeller rotates to stir the detergent. While the water inlet impacts, the impeller in the water inlet chamber stirs the detergent, and the detergent enters the space between the outer tub and the washing tub of the washing machine along with the water flow at the same time. Since the detergent is carried away by the water flow while being stirred, its dissolution time is limited, resulting in insufficient dissolution of the detergent, and there is still undissolved detergent adhering to the clothes, damaging the clothes and resulting in poor washing effect; at the same time, the undissolved detergent adhering to the clothes cannot be completely rinsed off through washing and rinsing, resulting in detergent remaining on the clothes and damaging the skin. In addition, the water flow carries the detergent into the washing tub, and the undissolved detergent may directly drip on the clothes, resulting in phenomena such as discoloration of the clothes.
[0055] Based on this, in various embodiments of the present application, a separate detergent dissolution chamber is provided in the detergent dispensing device of the washing equipment, and combined with the water inlet control strategy, the detergent in the detergent dissolution chamber is fully stirred and then discharged, accelerating the dissolution of the detergent, effectively improving the dissolution effect of the detergent, reducing the residue of the detergent on clothes, etc., and enhancing the washing effect.
[0056] The washing equipment in the embodiments of the present application can be a washing equipment for wearing articles such as clothes, shoes and socks, and can also be a washing equipment for tableware such as plates, bowls and chopsticks. The present application does not make any limitation thereto.
[0057] Exemplarily, as Figure 1 shown, the washing equipment includes: a box body 3, a detergent dispensing device 100 and a washing tub located in the box body 3.
[0058] For the convenience of dispensing detergent, the detergent dispensing device 100 can be arranged at the top position of the box body 3, for example, arranged at Figure 1 the upper left corner of the box body 3 as shown.
[0059] Exemplarily, the washing device can be a washing machine, and the washing tub can be a perforated inner tub or a non-perforated inner tub. For a perforated inner tub, an outer tub (also known as a water storage tub) for storing water is further provided in the cabinet 3, and the washing tub is rotatably arranged in the outer tub; for a non-perforated inner tub, the inner tub itself can store water without the need for an outer tub to store water. It can be understood that whether it is a perforated inner tub or a non-perforated inner tub, the washing tub can rotate during the process of processing clothes.
[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, the detergent dispensing device 100 includes: a stirring mechanism and an inlet water chamber and a detergent dissolution chamber spaced apart from each other. The stirring mechanism includes a driving member located in the inlet water chamber and a stirring member located in the detergent dissolution chamber. The driving member can drive the stirring member to rotate under the drive of the water flow introduced into the inlet water chamber.
[0061] It can be understood that the detergent dissolution chamber is provided with a first water inlet passage for supplying water, and the inlet water chamber is provided with a second water inlet passage for supplying water.
[0062] As Figure 2 shown, the control method of the washing device in the embodiment of the present application includes:
[0063] Step 201, control the first water inlet passage communicating with the detergent dissolution chamber to supply water until the water level in the detergent dissolution chamber reaches the set water level.
[0064] Step 202, control the second water inlet passage communicating with the inlet water chamber to supply water so that the driving member drives the stirring member to rotate.
[0065] Step 203, determine that the detergent in the detergent dissolution chamber is dissolved under the action of the stirring member, and control the first water inlet passage to supply water again to discharge the dissolved detergent in the detergent dissolution chamber into the washing tub of the washing device.
[0066] Here, the set water level is less than or equal to the drainage water level of the detergent dissolution chamber.
[0067] Based on the above water inlet control strategy, the control method of the embodiment of the present application enables the detergent dissolution chamber not to discharge water during the process of dissolving the detergent, and the detergent can have sufficient stirring time in the detergent dissolution chamber. Moreover, since during the stirring process, the water flow does not carry the detergent out of the detergent dissolution chamber, the detergent can be fully and effectively dissolved and foamed in the detergent dissolution chamber, so that the detergent entering the washing tub has basically been fully dissolved and foamed, which can improve the washing effect of the washing device and reduce the residue of the detergent on the clothes.
[0068] Exemplarily, a first drain channel is provided in the detergent dissolution chamber, and the water flow in the detergent dissolution chamber can be discharged through the first drain channel. A second drain channel is provided in the water inlet chamber, and the water flow in the water inlet chamber can be discharged through the second drain channel. Exemplarily, the first drain channel and / or the second drain channel can be a siphon tube, so that the water flow in the chamber can be discharged based on the siphon effect of the siphon tube.
[0069] Exemplarily, determining that the detergent in the detergent dissolution chamber is dissolved under the action of the stirring member includes:
[0070] If the water level in the detergent dissolution chamber reaches the set water level and the water supply duration of the second water inlet passage reaches the set duration, it is determined that the detergent in the detergent dissolution chamber has met the dissolution standard.
[0071] Here, the set duration can be reasonably determined based on experiments, so that after the water in the detergent dissolution chamber reaches the set water level, the detergent can be fully dissolved under the stirring action of the stirring member.
[0072] In one embodiment, the first water inlet passage and the second water inlet passage share a water supply valve; control the water supply valve to switch to connect the first water inlet passage until the water level in the detergent dissolution chamber reaches the set water level; then, control the water supply valve to switch to connect the second water inlet passage until it is determined that the detergent in the detergent dissolution chamber is dissolved under the action of the stirring member; control the water supply valve to switch to connect the first water inlet passage again to discharge the dissolved detergent in the detergent dissolution chamber into the washing tub of the washing device.
[0073] In one application example, the water supply valve can be a two-way three-way valve. During the water inlet stage of the washing machine, control the water supply valve to conduct the first water inlet passage. At this time, the water flow enters the detergent dissolution chamber; wait until the water level in the detergent dissolution chamber reaches the set water level, control the water supply valve to switch to conduct the second water inlet passage. At this time, the water flow enters the water inlet chamber, and under the action of this water flow, the driving member drives the stirring member to rotate, so that the stirring member in the semi-closed detergent dissolution chamber stirs the mixed liquid in the chamber, and the detergent can be fully and effectively dissolved and foamed in the detergent dissolution chamber. After the dissolution set duration, control the water supply to switch to conduct the first water inlet passage. The semi-closed detergent dissolution chamber begins to fill with water. When the water exceeds the siphon port position (i.e., the drainage water level), the mixed liquid in the detergent dissolution chamber is siphoned out and drained into the washing tub of the washing machine.
[0074] In some embodiments, a first water supply valve is provided on the first water inlet passage, and a second water supply valve is provided on the second water inlet passage; control the first water inlet passage to supply water based on the first water supply valve until the water level in the detergent dissolution chamber reaches the set water level and control the first water inlet passage to supply water again; and at least after the water level in the detergent dissolution chamber reaches the set water level, control the second water supply valve to conduct the second water inlet passage for the set duration.
[0075] In this way, the water supply control of the detergent dissolution chamber and the water inlet chamber can be realized separately based on the individual water supply valves. It can be understood that at least after the water level in the detergent dissolution chamber reaches the set water level, controlling the second water supply valve to conduct the second water inlet passage for a set duration can, under the action of water flow, drive the driving member to drive the stirring member to rotate, so that the stirring member in the semi-closed detergent dissolution chamber stirs the mixed liquid in the chamber, and the detergent can be fully and effectively dissolved and foamed in the detergent dissolution chamber.
[0076] Exemplarily, during the water inlet stage of the washing device, the second water supply valve is controlled to continuously conduct the second water inlet passage. In this way, it can be ensured that during the entire water inlet stage, the water inlet chamber can normally inject water into the interior of the laundry processing device, thereby effectively improving the water inlet efficiency and not conflicting with the dissolution process of the detergent in the detergent dissolution chamber.
[0077] In some embodiments, the water inlet chamber is also connected to a chamber for dispensing auxiliary agents or the water inlet chamber serves as a chamber for dispensing auxiliary agents, and the water flow in the water inlet chamber is also used to flush the auxiliary agents into the washing tub. For example, auxiliary agents are dispensed into the auxiliary agent dispensing chamber or the water inlet chamber connected to the water inlet chamber, and the first water inlet passage is controlled to supply water to the auxiliary agent dispensing chamber or the water inlet chamber, and the water flow is used to flush the auxiliary agents in the auxiliary agent chamber or the water inlet chamber into the washing tub.
[0078] It can be understood that the auxiliary agents can be auxiliary washing products such as fabric softeners, disinfectants, and flavor enhancers. Dispensing the auxiliary agents based on the water inlet process of the water inlet chamber can meet the washing needs of users and avoid defects such as the weakening of the performance of the washing products caused by the mixed dispensing with the detergent. In addition, since the driving member in the water inlet chamber also has a stirring function, it can also play a role in accelerating dissolution during the dispensing process of the auxiliary agents.
[0079] Here, the auxiliary agents can be directly dispensed into the water inlet chamber and discharged into the washing device under the flushing of the water flow in the water inlet chamber; or, they can also be arranged in an auxiliary chamber connected to the water inlet chamber, and the auxiliary agents are pre-dispensed into the auxiliary chamber, so that they can be discharged into the washing device under the flushing of the water flow in the water inlet chamber.
[0080] In some embodiments, before the water supply of the first water inlet passage connected to the detergent dissolution chamber is controlled until the water level in the detergent dissolution chamber reaches the set water level, the method further includes:
[0081] Controlling the washing device to operate in a pre-washing stage;
[0082] Wherein, during the pre-washing stage, the water supply of the second water inlet passage connected to the water inlet chamber is controlled, so that the water flow in the water inlet chamber flushes the auxiliary agents into the washing tub.
[0083] It can be understood that in the pre-washing stage, the washing device can introduce water into the water inlet chamber to the water level required for pre-washing, and bring in the auxiliary agent in the auxiliary chamber that is brought into the water inlet chamber or communicates with the water inlet chamber. Thus, before the formal washing, pre-washing treatment can be carried out based on this pre-washing stage to enhance the subsequent washing effect.
[0084] To implement the control method of the embodiments of the present application, the embodiments of the present application further provide a washing device. The detergent dispensing device of the washing device includes: a stirring mechanism and a water inlet chamber and a detergent dissolving chamber that are spaced apart from each other. The stirring mechanism includes a driving member located in the water inlet chamber and a stirring member located in the detergent dissolving chamber. The driving member can drive the stirring member to rotate under the driving of the water flow introduced into the water inlet chamber; the washing device further includes: a processor and a memory for storing a computer program that can run on the processor, wherein the processor is used to execute the steps of the control method of the embodiments of the present application when running the computer program.
[0085] Exemplarily, the washing device can be a laundry treatment device. For example, a washing machine or a washing and drying integrated machine with a drying function. The following combines Figures 3 to 16 to give an exemplary description of the laundry treatment device.
[0086] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 3 , the detergent dispensing device 100 includes a detergent box 2 and a dispenser 1.
[0087] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the detergent box 2 includes a box cover 22 and a box body 21 disposed below the box cover 22. The specific connection manner between the box cover 22 and the box body 21 is not limited. For example, it can be connected by screws or buckled by a buckle, etc.
[0088] The box cover 22 and the box body 21 jointly define a pulling space for accommodating the dispenser 1. The dispenser 1 is slidably disposed in the pulling space. Exemplarily, the dispenser 1 can be pulled in the front-rear direction of the laundry treatment device. For example, before washing clothes, the user pulls out the dispenser 1 from the detergent box 2 to dispense the detergent. After completing the detergent dispensing, the dispenser 1 is pushed into the detergent box 2.
[0089] Please refer to Figure 10 , the dispenser 1 includes a dispenser box 11 and a stirring mechanism 12 disposed in the dispenser box 11.
[0090] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10, the dispenser box 11 is provided with a water inlet chamber 11a, a first drainage channel 11c, and a detergent dissolution chamber 11b for accumulating detergent. The detergent dissolution chamber 11b can receive the incoming water flow, and the first drainage channel 11c is used to drain the water liquid in the detergent dissolution chamber 11b.
[0091] It should be noted that accumulating detergent means that after the detergent is put into the detergent dissolution chamber 11b, the detergent will not be drained from the detergent dissolution chamber 11b but is temporarily stored in the detergent dissolution chamber 11b. That is, the detergent dissolution chamber 11b has a certain drainage setting height (i.e., the drainage water level). When the incoming water flow enters the detergent dissolution chamber 11b, if the liquid level height of the water flow does not exceed the drainage setting height, the water liquid will not be drained from the detergent dissolution chamber 11b. When the liquid level height exceeds the drainage setting height, the water liquid carrying the detergent will be drained through the first drainage channel 11c. It can be understood that the amount of detergent in the above-mentioned detergent dissolution chamber 11b is the amount required for single-time laundry washing.
[0092] The water inlet chamber 11a can receive the incoming water flow and export the water liquid entering the water inlet chamber 11a from the dispenser box 11. It can be understood that the water inlet chamber 11a and the detergent dissolution chamber 11b are independently supplied with water. That is to say, the water inlet chamber 11a and the detergent dissolution chamber 11b receive different incoming water flows, and the water flow in the water inlet chamber 11a will not enter the detergent dissolution chamber 11b. Therefore, the water inlet process of the water inlet chamber 11a does not affect the dissolution and drainage of the detergent in the detergent dissolution chamber 11b.
[0093] It should be noted that the water flow entering the dispenser box 11 will eventually be drained from the dispenser box 11 and enter the cylinder assembly.
[0094] Please refer to Figure 5 、 Figure 10 and Figure 13 , the stirring mechanism 12 includes a driving member 121 disposed on the water flow path in the water inlet chamber 11a and a stirring member 122 disposed in the detergent dissolution chamber 11b. The driving member 121 can rotate under the impact of the water flow and drive the stirring member 122 to rotate.
[0095] It can be understood that the stirring mechanism 12 further includes a connecting shaft 123, and the connecting shaft 123 connects the stirring member 122 and the driving member 121. The connecting shaft 123 transmits the torque of the driving member 121 to the stirring member 122.
[0096] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8, the lid 22 is provided with a first water inlet passage 221 and a second water inlet passage 222. The first water inlet passage 221 communicates with the detergent dissolution chamber 11b to inject water into the detergent dissolution chamber 11b. The second water inlet passage 222 communicates with the water inlet chamber 11a to inject water into the water inlet chamber 11a.
[0097] Specifically, a water pipe can be connected to the first water inlet 221a of the first water inlet passage 221, and another water pipe can be connected to the second water inlet 222a of the second water inlet passage 222. In this way, water can be independently introduced into the first water inlet passage 221 and the second water inlet passage 222.
[0098] Exemplarily, the washing device includes a water supply valve, an independent first water inlet branch and a second water inlet branch. The first water inlet branch communicates with the first water inlet passage 221, and the second water inlet branch communicates with the second water inlet passage 222. For example, the above-mentioned one water pipe forms the first water inlet branch, and the other water pipe forms the second water inlet branch.
[0099] The water supply valve can selectively conduct or cut off the water flow in the first water inlet branch, and can selectively conduct or cut off the water flow in the second water inlet branch. That is to say, the water supply valve can independently control the on-off of the water flow in the first water inlet branch and the on-off of the water flow in the second water inlet branch. For example, in some cases, the water supply valve controls the water flow in the first water inlet branch to be conducted and controls the water flow in the second water inlet branch to be cut off. In other cases, the water supply valve controls the water flow in the first water inlet branch to be cut off and controls the water flow in the second water inlet branch to be conducted. In still other cases, the water supply valve controls the water flow in both the first water inlet branch and the second water inlet branch to be conducted, or both to be cut off.
[0100] The specific form of the water supply valve is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, the water supply valve can be a multi-way valve, and the water flow control of the first water inlet branch and the second water inlet branch is realized through different working positions of the same valve. In other embodiments, the water supply valve can include at least two valves, one valve is arranged on the first water inlet branch, and the other valve is arranged on the second water inlet branch.
[0101] In the dispenser 1 of the embodiment of the present application, the water flow impacts the driving member 121, forcing the driving member 121 to rotate. That is to say, there is no need to configure a power source such as a motor for the driving member 121, which can reduce the cost of the dispenser 1; when the driving member 121 rotates, it will drive the stirring member 122 to rotate, and the stirring member 122 stirs the detergent in the detergent dissolution chamber 11b to promote the dissolution and foaming of the detergent.
[0102] Specifically, during the water inlet stage of the washing device, a small amount of water is first injected into the detergent dissolution chamber 11b through the first water inlet branch and the first water inlet passage 221. The liquid level height of the water does not exceed the liquid discharge set height of the detergent dissolution chamber 11b. At this time, the injected water accumulates in the detergent dissolution chamber 11b.
[0103] Subsequently, the water injection into the detergent dissolution chamber 11b is stopped, and water is injected into the water inlet chamber 11a through the second water inlet branch and the second water inlet passage 222. The water flow forces the driving member 121 to rotate, and then drives the stirring member 122 to rotate to stir the detergent in the detergent dissolution chamber 11b. The detergent dissolves and foams under the stirring of the stirring member 122. At the same time, the water in the water inlet chamber 11a enters the cylinder assembly, and the water injected into the cylinder assembly can wet and soak the clothes. That is to say, during the process of the stirring member 122 stirring the detergent, washing water is simultaneously injected into the cylinder assembly. The time for stirring the detergent basically does not affect the total time of the washing device during the water inlet stage, and the water inlet efficiency is relatively high.
[0104] After the stirring member 122 stirs for a certain time, water is injected into the detergent dissolution chamber 11b again. When the liquid level in the detergent dissolution chamber 11b exceeds the liquid discharge set height, the water flow carries the dissolved detergent and discharges it together from the dispenser 1 and enters the cylinder assembly.
[0105] It should be noted that since the detergent has been fully dissolved, the water flow carrying the detergent will basically not cause the clothes to change color even if it is directly sprayed on the clothes.
[0106] For the dispenser 1 of the embodiment of the present application, during the process of the stirring member 122 stirring the detergent in the detergent dissolution chamber 11b, washing water is normally injected into the cylinder assembly through the water inlet chamber 11a. The detergent has sufficient stirring time in the detergent dissolution chamber 11b, and since the water flow will not carry the detergent out of the detergent dissolution chamber 11b during the stirring process, the detergent can be fully and effectively dissolved and foamed in the detergent dissolution chamber 11b. The detergent entering the cylinder assembly has basically been fully dissolved and foamed, which can improve the washing effect of the washing device and also ensure the water inlet efficiency during the water inlet stage.
[0107] The specific type of the detergent is not limited. For example, it can be laundry detergent, washing powder, etc.
[0108] The specific liquid discharge method of the first liquid discharge channel 11c is not limited. For example, the on-off of the liquid discharge is controlled by a valve. Exemplarily, the first liquid discharge channel 11c discharges liquid by using the siphon principle, that is, the first liquid discharge channel 11c includes a first siphon channel, and the water in the detergent dissolution chamber 11b is discharged through the first siphon channel. The siphon height of the first siphon channel is the above-mentioned liquid discharge set height.
[0109] The water inlet mode of the detergent dissolution chamber 11b is not limited. Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the top side of the detergent dissolution chamber 11b is open, and the water flow discharged from the first water inlet passage 221 on the box cover 22 flows into the detergent dissolution chamber 11b from the open part on the top side of the detergent dissolution chamber 11b. On the one hand, it is convenient to receive the water inlet flow of the box cover 22 above the dispenser 1, and on the other hand, the detergent dissolution chamber 11b is directly exposed on the outer surface of the dispenser 1, which is convenient for users to directly see the detergent in the detergent dissolution chamber 11b after pulling out the dispenser 1.
[0110] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the water inlet chamber 11a is open along the rear side of the detergent dispensing device 100, and the liquid in the water inlet chamber 11a is discharged through the open part of the water inlet chamber 11a, that is, this open part forms the second liquid outlet channel of the water inlet chamber 11a. In this way, the structure is simple and it is also convenient for the water inlet chamber 11a to drain smoothly.
[0111] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 7 , along the direction from the front side to the rear side of the box body 21, the bottom wall surface 11a' corresponding to the water inlet chamber 11a extends obliquely downward. It can be understood that the end of the extension of the bottom wall surface 11a' is the water outlet position of the water inlet chamber 11a. On the one hand, the inclined bottom wall surface 11a' can guide the water flow to drain smoothly from the water inlet chamber 11a, and on the other hand, it makes the water inlet chamber 11a not accumulate water, avoiding the resistance to the rotation of the driving member 121 caused by the accumulated water.
[0112] The water flow discharged from the second water inlet passage 222 on the box cover 22 flows downward and enters the water inlet chamber 11a. It can be understood that, please refer to Figure 7 , the position of the water outlet 222b of the second water inlet passage 222 can be as close as possible to the driving member 121 so that the water flow can impact the driving member 121 relatively concentratedly.
[0113] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 14 , the dispenser box 11 is configured with a water collecting plate 1120, and the water collecting plate 1120 is arranged at the open part on the top side of the water inlet chamber 11a. The water collecting plate 1120 can play a certain role in collecting water and guiding water. It can be understood that the water collecting plate 1120 can cover the entire open part of the water inlet chamber 11a, or only cover a part of the open part of the water inlet chamber 11a.
[0114] The water collecting plate 1120 has a water collecting port 1120a penetrating through the water collecting plate 1120, and the driving member 121 is located below the water collecting port 1120a to receive the water flow from the water collecting port 1120a.
[0115] It should be noted that in the top view projection of the dispenser 1, the water outlet 222b of the second water inlet passage 222 is located within the projection contour of the water collecting plate 1120. The water collecting plate 1120 does not need to cover the entire open area of the water inlet chamber 11a, and only needs to cover the open area corresponding to the lower part of the water outlet of the second water inlet passage 222, so that the water collecting plate 1120 plays a role in collecting and guiding the water flow, enabling at least most of the water flow to concentrate and flow from the water collecting port 1120a into the water inlet chamber 11a.
[0116] Since some users may have the need to wash clothes with adjuvants, where the adjuvants can be auxiliary washing products such as fabric softeners, disinfectants, and fragrance enhancers, for this reason, adjuvants can be put into the water inlet chamber 11a.
[0117] Exemplarily, in the embodiment configured with the water collecting plate 1120, please refer to Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15 , the water collecting plate 1120 is further provided with a first dosing port 1120b, and the area of the first dosing port 1120b is larger than the area of the water collecting port 1120a. The first dosing port 1120b is relatively large, facilitating the user to put adjuvants into the water inlet chamber 11a from the first dosing port 1120b.
[0118] It should be noted that, please refer to Figure 7 , the water outlet 222b of the second water inlet passage 222 includes a plurality of small holes, and the water flow of the second water inlet passage 222 is sprayed out through each small hole, forming a water outlet effect similar to that of a shower head. Among them, more small holes can be arranged in the part corresponding to the upper part of the water collecting port 1120a, and a small number of small holes can be provided in the upper part corresponding to the remaining part of the water collecting plate 1120. In this way, the water flow rate of the second water inlet passage 222 can be more distributed to the water collecting port 1120a and less to the first dosing port 1120b.
[0119] It can be understood that, please refer to Figure 8 , the water outlet 221b of the first water inlet passage 221 on the lid 22 is arranged as close to the front side as possible, so that the water flow has a longer flow path in the detergent dissolution chamber 11b.
[0120] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the dispenser box 11 is provided with an auxiliary agent dosing chamber 11d for containing detergent and a siphon channel 11f for discharging the liquid in the auxiliary agent dosing chamber 11d. The auxiliary agent dosing chamber 11d is located at the front side of the water inlet chamber 11a and can receive the incoming water flow. Relatively easily soluble detergents, such as fabric softeners, can be contained in the auxiliary agent dosing chamber 11d.
[0121] It should be noted that the siphon channel 11f can directly divert the water flow entering the auxiliary agent dosing chamber 11d into the box body 21 below the dispenser 1, or the siphon channel 11f can also divert the water flow in the auxiliary agent dosing chamber 11d into the water inlet chamber 11a. Under the impact of the water flow in the water inlet chamber 11a, the dispersion degree of the detergent from the auxiliary agent dosing chamber 11d in the water solution can be further promoted.
[0122] Exemplarily, the box body 21 is provided with a mixing water tank 21c and a second liquid outlet 21a. The mixing water tank 21c is located below the dispenser box 11, and the water flow in the water inlet chamber 11a enters the mixing water tank 21c and is discharged through the second liquid outlet 21a.
[0123] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the first liquid discharge channel 11c is communicated with the mixing water tank 21c. The water solution discharged from the first liquid discharge channel 11c enters the mixing water tank 21c and is discharged through the second liquid outlet 21a. That is to say, in this embodiment, the water solutions in the water inlet chamber 11a and the detergent dissolution chamber 11b both enter the mixing water tank 21c and are discharged from the same position of the detergent dispensing device 100.
[0124] In other embodiments, the water solutions in the water inlet chamber 11a and the detergent dissolution chamber 11b are discharged from different positions of the detergent dispensing device 100. Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 8 , a first liquid outlet 21b and a plug-in channel 21d communicated with the first liquid outlet 21b are arranged at the rear side of the box body 21. The plug-in channel 21d is located inside the box body 21 and extends in the front-rear direction. A plug-in column 1112 is formed at the rear end of the dispenser box 11. The inside of the plug-in column 1112 is hollow, and the space inside the plug-in column 1112 is a part of the first liquid discharge channel 11c. The plug-in column 1112 and the plug-in channel 21d are detachably plugged and matched.
[0125] Before washing clothes, the user pulls out the dispenser 1 from the detergent box 2, and the plug-in column 1112 and the plug-in channel 21d are separated from each other. After the detergent is dispensed, the dispenser 1 is pushed into the detergent box 2, and the plug-in column 1112 is inserted into the plug-in channel 21d. At this time, the plug-in column 1112 and the plug-in channel 21d are in a plugged state, and the liquid discharge channel 11c and the first liquid outlet 21b are conducted. In this state, when the water solution in the detergent dissolution chamber 11b exceeds the liquid discharge set height, the water solution is discharged from the detergent dispensing device 100 through the liquid discharge channel 11c and the first liquid outlet 21b.
[0126] In some embodiments, the water flowing through the water inlet chamber 11a is introduced between the outer barrel and the washing tub to inject washing water into the barrel assembly, that is, the water discharged from the second liquid outlet 21a is introduced between the outer barrel and the washing tub. The water flowing through the detergent dissolving chamber 11b is introduced into the washing tub, that is, the water discharged from the first liquid outlet 21b is introduced into the washing tub. In this way, the water flow can first contact with the clothes and then flow into the outer barrel, so that the detergent and the clothes are fully in contact, improving the cleaning effect. It should be noted that since the water flowing through the detergent dissolving chamber 11b carries fully dissolved detergent, even if it directly contacts the clothes, it will not cause the clothes to change color.
[0127] It is understandable that, except for the structure forming each siphon channel, the remaining structure of the distributor box 11 can be integrally formed, for example, integrally injection molded, or can be split.
[0128] For example, see Figure 10 The dispenser box 11 includes a box body 111 and a frame body 112, and the frame body 112 is detachably arranged on the top side of the box body 111. The box body 111 serves as the main structure of the dispenser box 11, and the above-mentioned detergent dissolving chamber 11b, water inlet chamber 11a and auxiliary agent delivery chamber 11d are all located on the box body 111.
[0129] For example, see Figure 10 The box body 111 has a partition wall 1111 blocking the detergent dissolving chamber 11b and the water inlet chamber 11a, that is, the detergent dissolving chamber 11b and the water inlet chamber 11a are located on opposite sides of the partition wall 1111. The partition wall 111 is provided with a notch 111a, which extends substantially in the up-down direction, and the top side of the notch 111a is open, that is, the notch 111a passes through the top edge of the partition wall 1111. The connecting shaft 123 is arranged in the notch 111a, and can be taken in and out from the open part of the notch 111a.
[0130] In this embodiment, the notch 111a is used to avoid the connecting shaft 123. During the assembly process, the stirring mechanism 12 can be assembled into a pre-assembled whole first, and the connecting shaft 123 is placed into the notch 111a from top to bottom, so that the entire stirring mechanism 12 can be assembled from top to bottom, reducing the assembly time. When disassembly is required, the connection between the frame body 112 and the box body 111 is first disassembled, and then the frame body 112 can be removed first, and then the stirring mechanism 12 can be taken out as a whole, or the frame body 112 and the stirring mechanism 12 can be taken out simultaneously.
[0131] For example, see Figure 11 , Figure 12 as well as Figure 15, the frame body 112 includes a clamping plate 1121 extending into the box body 111, and the connecting shaft 123 passes through the clamping plate 1121 in a sealed manner. For example, the clamping plate 1121 is provided with a shaft hole 1121b, and the connecting shaft 123 passes through the shaft hole 1121b in a sealed manner.
[0132] Please continue to refer to Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 15 , a clamping groove 1121a is provided on the periphery of the clamping plate 1121, the clamping plate 1121 closes the notch 111a, and the surrounding part of the notch 111a is clamped into the clamping groove 1121a. In this way, even if the depth of the notch 111a is relatively deep, the clamping plate 1121 can seal the notch 111a, reducing the possibility of liquid leakage between the detergent dissolution cavity 11b and the water inlet cavity 11a.
[0133] It should be noted that the stirring mechanism 12 can be rotatably supported on the box body 111, that is to say, a supporting structure for supporting the stirring mechanism 12 is provided on the box body 111.
[0134] Exemplarily, at least a part of the frame body 112 extends into the box body 111 to support the stirring mechanism 12, that is to say, the frame body 112 positions and supports the stirring mechanism 12, without the need to provide a supporting structure on the box body 111, which can reduce the structural complexity of the box body 111 and facilitate the injection molding of the box body 111.
[0135] Exemplarily, the frame body 112 is formed with a second feeding port 112a communicating with the auxiliary agent feeding cavity 11d, and the user feeds the detergent into the auxiliary agent feeding cavity 11d from the second feeding port 112a.
[0136] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 , the frame body 112 includes at least two first hanging ears 1122 extending into the water inlet cavity 11a, and the axial two ends of the driving member 121 are rotatably supported on the corresponding first hanging ears 1122. In this way, there are support points at both axial ends of the driving member 121, avoiding the cantilever support form of the driving member 121, improving the stress conditions of the driving member 121 and the connecting shaft 123, and enhancing the reliability of the driving member 121.
[0137] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 12 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 , the frame body 112 includes a second hanging ear 1123 extending into the detergent dissolution cavity 11b, and the axial end of the stirring member 122 away from the stirring member 122 is rotatably supported on the second hanging ear 1123. In this way, the cantilever support form of the stirring member 122 can be avoided, improving the stress conditions of the driving stirring member 122 and the connecting shaft 123, and enhancing the reliability of the stirring member 122.
[0138] The number of the driving members 121 may be one or more, and is not limited herein.
[0139] The number of the stirring members 122 may be one or more, and is not limited herein.
[0140] It should be noted that, please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , in the embodiment where the number of the stirring members 122 is one, the above-mentioned second lugs 1123 may or may not be provided. Please refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15 , in the embodiment where the number of the stirring members 122 is multiple, since the multiple stirring members 122 have a relatively large span in the axial direction, therefore, the above-mentioned second lugs 1123 need to be provided to improve the stress condition of the connecting shaft 123.
[0141] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 , the frame body 112 includes two longitudinal beams 1125 extending in the front-rear direction, a cross beam 1126 connected between the ends of the two longitudinal beams 1125, and a partition 1127 connected between the two longitudinal beams 1125. A second feeding port 112a is defined among the partition 1127, the two longitudinal beams 1125, and the cross beam 1126 at the front end.
[0142] The above-mentioned water collecting plate 1120 is connected between the two longitudinal beams 1125, and the front side of the water collecting plate 1120 is connected to the partition 1127.
[0143] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned first lugs 1122 extend downward from the bottom side of the water collecting plate 1120.
[0144] Exemplarily, in the embodiment configured with the second lugs 1123, the frame body 112 includes a connecting plate 1124. The first end of the connecting plate 1124 is connected to the longitudinal beam 1125, and the second lugs 1123 extend downward from the second end of the connecting plate 1124.
[0145] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned frame body 112 is integrally formed, for example, integrally injection-molded, which is convenient for assembly and reduces the assembly process.
[0146] Exemplarily, the rotation axes of the stirring members 122 and the driving members 121 both extend along the left-right direction of the distributor. For example, the rotation axes of the stirring members 122 and the driving members 121 are located on the same straight line. In this way, it is convenient for torque transmission between the stirring members 122 and the driving members 121, and it is also convenient for the arrangement of the stirring members 122 and the driving members 121.
[0147] The specific structure of the driving member 121 is not limited. Exemplarily, the driving member 121 includes a hydraulic impeller, and the hydraulic impeller is configured with a plurality of first blades 1121. The water inlet cavity 11a and the hydraulic impeller are configured such that the water flow in the water inlet cavity 11a impacts the first blades 1121 from top to bottom, the water flow generates a large impact force on the first blades 1121, the impact force forms a torque on the hydraulic impeller, and the hydraulic impeller rotates under the action of this torque.
[0148] The specific structure of the hydraulic impeller is not limited, as long as it can facilitate the receiving of the water flow.
[0149] Please refer to Figure 13 , the hydraulic impeller includes a hub 1122, two end plates 1123, and each first blade 1121. The two end plates 1123 are connected to the axially opposite ends of 1122, and each first blade 1121 is arranged at intervals along the circumferential surface of 1122, and each first blade 1121 is connected between the two end plates 1123. A water receiving cavity 121a is defined between 1122, the two end plates 1123, and two adjacent first blades 1121. When the water receiving cavity 121a rotates with the hydraulic impeller to the position where the water flow drops, the water flow enters the water receiving cavity 121a and acts on the first blade 1121 on the front side along the rotation direction, thereby generating a torque.
[0150] Exemplarily, the water outlet position of the water inlet cavity 11a is lower than the lowest point of the rotation trajectory of the first blade 1121. In this way, it can be ensured that there is no accumulated water in the water inlet cavity 11a, or the height of the accumulated water level is always lower than the lowest point of the rotation trajectory of the first blade 1121. That is to say, even if there is accumulated water, the accumulated water will not generate resistance to the rotation of the hydraulic impeller.
[0151] The specific structure of the stirring member 122 is not limited. As long as it can play a role in stirring the detergent. For example, in some embodiments, the stirring member 122 is in the shape of a rotary brush. Specifically, the stirring member 122 is configured with a plurality of hard bristles, such as plastic bristles, to stir the detergent through the bristles. Again, for example, the stirring member 122 is in a net-like structure to stir the detergent through the net-like structure.
[0152] Exemplarily, in the embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 13 and Figure 16 , the stirring member 122 is generally in the shape of an impeller. The stirring member 122 includes a wheel core 1122 and a plurality of second blades 1221. The plurality of second blades 1221 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the wheel core 1122. During the rotation of the stirring member 122, the water flow is stirred by the second blades 1221. The second blades 1221 have a large water-stirring area, have a strong ability to stir the detergent, have a simple structure, are easy to clean, and are not likely to leave residues of the detergent on the surface.
[0153] It can be understood that the stirring member 122 and the driving member 121 are two independent components. For the convenience of assembly, for example, the connection between the connecting shaft 123 and the stirring member 122 is a detachable connection, or the connection between the connecting shaft 123 and the driving member 121 is a detachable connection, or the connecting shaft 123 has a segmented structure, that is, the connecting shaft 123 is formed by detachably connecting multiple shaft segments together.
[0154] Exemplarily, the connecting shaft 123 is integrally formed with the stirring member 122, and the connecting shaft 123 is detachably assembled with the driving member 121.
[0155] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 16 , a plurality of elastic claws 1231 are provided at one end of the connecting shaft 123 away from the stirring member 122. The plurality of elastic claws 1231 can contract inward under the action of an external force to generate elastic deformation. A plug-in slot is provided at one axial end of the driving member 121. During the process of inserting the connecting shaft 123 into the plug-in slot, the slot wall of the plug-in slot forces the plurality of elastic claws 1231 to elastically deform inward. When the elastic claws 1231 pass over the entrance of the plug-in slot, the elastic claws 1231 at least partially recover the deformation to be stuck in the plug-in slot, realizing the rapid assembly of the connecting shaft 123 and the driving member 121.
[0156] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "plurality" refers to two or more.
