[0045] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0046] It should be understood that the terms used herein are for the purpose of describing specific example embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "one", "an" and "said" as used herein may also be meant to include plural forms. The terms "comprise", "include", "contain" and "have" are inclusive and therefore specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements and / or parts, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, parts, and / or combinations thereof.

Thus, the example term "below" can include both above and below orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a feeding device 100 is proposed, which is applied to a clothes processing device. Figure 1 The structure diagram of the delivery device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown (the cover 60 is in the closed state). Figure 2 for Figure 1 The schematic structural diagram of the delivery device 100 (the cover plate 60 is not shown) is shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the delivery device 100 includes a box body 10 and a spiral stirring assembly 20. One or more delivery areas 11 are provided inside the box body 10. The spiral stirring assembly 20 is provided inside at least one of the multiple delivery areas 11, and both ends of the spiral stirring assembly 20 are rotatably provided on the side walls of the box body 10.

[0050] According to the dispensing device 100 of the present invention, by setting a dispensing area 11 in the box body 10 and setting a spiral stirring component 20 inside the dispensing area, the detergent, softener or washing powder entering the dispensing area 11 can be fully dissolved under the stirring action of the spiral stirring component 20, and more foam is generated, thereby improving the washing effect.

[0051] It should be noted that the number of placement areas 11 here is generally three, which are used to place detergent, softener and washing powder respectively. Two placement areas 11 can also be set according to needs, such as placing washing powder or softener respectively, or placing detergent or softener separately, etc. Of course, more placement areas can also be set, such as four or five.

[0052] When there are three delivery areas 11, the three delivery areas 11 are the first delivery area 111, the second delivery area 112 and the third delivery area 113, which are used for delivery to different positions respectively. For example, the first delivery area 111 is used for delivery of washing powder, the second delivery area 112 is used for delivery of softener, and the third delivery area 113 is used for delivery of detergent. Among them, the first delivery area 111 is located in the middle position, and the second delivery area 112 and the third delivery area 113 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first delivery area 111.

[0053] In addition, the spiral stirring assembly 20 here can be driven to rotate by a power drive mechanism, such as a motor, or there is no need to set up an additional power drive mechanism, and the flow of water can be used to drive the spiral stirring assembly 20 to rotate automatically to achieve the stirring function.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, the delivery area 11 includes a first delivery area 111. The first delivery area 111 is an integral structure. Only one spiral stirring assembly 20 may be provided inside the first delivery area 111. Alternatively, multiple spiral stirring assemblies 20 may be provided inside the first delivery area 111. As mentioned above, there are multiple delivery areas 11. Here, the first delivery area 111 is one of the multiple delivery areas. Figure 2 As shown, there are four spiral stirring components 20 here. Two, three or five spiral stirring components 20 can also be set according to the space size of the first delivery area 111, so as to dissolve the liquid or solid put into the first delivery area 111 as needed.

[0055] It should be noted that the first loading area 111 is mainly used for loading washing powder. Figure 2 It can be seen that only the first delivery area 111 is provided with a spiral stirring component 20. Relatively speaking, as a solid, the washing powder dissolves slowly. Therefore, the first delivery area 111 is used to deliver solid washing powder. The solid washing powder here can be delivered to positions near all the spiral stirring components 20. When water flows through the spiral stirring component 20, it drives the washing powder to flow and stirs the liquid in which the washing powder is located, thereby accelerating the dissolution of the washing powder.

[0056] In some optional embodiments, the first delivery area 111 is provided with a first wall 1111 and a second wall 1112, and a third wall 1117 for being spaced apart from the second delivery area 112. The first delivery area 111 is further provided with a fourth wall 1118 spaced apart from the third delivery area 113. The first wall 1111, the second wall 1112, the third wall 1117 and the fourth wall 1118 form a rectangular space of the first delivery area 111. A water inlet and a water outlet are provided on the first wall 1111, which is connected to the water inlet device 40 through the water inlet and can be connected to the water outlet device 50 through the water outlet. The water inlet here is a circular through hole or The rectangular through hole can be selected according to the shape of the water inlet pipe of the water inlet device 40. For example, when the water inlet pipe is a rectangular tube, the water inlet is set to a rectangular through hole. When the water inlet pipe is a circular tube, the water inlet is set to a circular through hole. Of course, it can also be set to other shapes of water inlets according to the shape of the water inlet pipe, such as an elliptical shape. The water outlet here is a circular through hole or a rectangular through hole, which can be selected according to the shape of the water outlet pipe of the water outlet device 50. For example, when the water outlet pipe is a rectangular tube, the water outlet is set to a rectangular through hole. When the water outlet pipe is a circular tube, the water outlet is set to a circular through hole. Of course, it can also be set to other shapes of water inlets according to the shape of the water outlet pipe, such as an elliptical shape.

[0057] The first wall 1111 and the second wall 1112 are arranged relative to each other, wherein the second wall 1112 is arranged on a side close to the user, and the first wall 1111 is arranged on a side away from the user relative to the second wall 1112.

[0058] Optionally, a partition 30 is provided inside the first delivery area 111, and a spiral stirring assembly 20 is provided on the left and right sides of the partition 30 to form a flow channel passing through the two spiral stirring assemblies 20 in sequence in the first delivery area 111, with the two ends of the flow channel being a water inlet and a water outlet. Figure 2 When there are four spiral stirring components 20, a curved flow channel can be formed inside the first delivery area 111. After water enters from the water inlet, it passes through each spiral stirring component 20 in turn and flows out from the water outlet. Figure 5 for Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the liquid flow structure in the delivery device 100 is shown. Figure 5 As can be seen in the figure, the liquid flows from the water inlet, passes through the four spiral stirring assemblies 20 in sequence, and then flows out from the water outlet. In some optional embodiments, a plurality of partitions 30 are provided inside the first delivery area 111, wherein the number of partitions 30 can be one or more, and one of two adjacent partitions 30 is connected to the first wall 1111 of the box body 10, and the other partition 30 is connected to the second wall 1112 of the box body 10.

[0059] For the convenience of description, the first delivery area 111 is separated and set here, and the partition 30 is used to divide the first delivery area 111 into multiple connected cavities, that is, the first delivery area 111 includes, from left to right, a first cavity 1113, a second cavity 1114, a third cavity 1115 and a fourth cavity 1116, wherein the first cavity 1113 and the second cavity 1114 are separated by a partition 30, the second cavity 1114 and the third cavity 1115 are separated by a partition 30, and the third cavity 1115 and the fourth cavity 1116 are separated by a partition 30, that is, the internal space of the first delivery area 111 is divided into four connected cavities by three partitions 30, so as to control the flow direction of water.

[0060] from Figure 2 and Figure 5 It can be clearly seen that when the washing powder is put into the first cavity 1113, the flow path of the washing powder along with the water is the longest, and after multiple stirring actions, it is dissolved more fully. Therefore, in the actual use process, the washing powder is preferably put into the front areas such as the first cavity 1113 and the second cavity 1114, so that the washing powder can be fully dissolved. The dissolved washing powder solution passes through the water outlet device 50 from the water outlet position and enters the inner barrel of the clothing processing equipment for the next washing work.

[0061] The following combination Figure 5 , which provides a more detailed description of the water flow direction.

[0062] from Figure 5 As can be seen, there are three partitions 30, of which the middle partition 30 is connected to the second wall 1112, and the other end of the partition 30 is a certain distance away from the first wall 1111. The other two partitions 30 are both connected to the first wall 1111, and the other ends of the two partitions 30 are a certain distance away from the second wall 1112, thereby allowing the first cavity 1113, the second cavity 1114, the third cavity 1115, and the fourth cavity 1116 to communicate with each other, forming a tortuous flow channel.

[0063] Water enters the first cavity 1113 from the water inlet through the water inlet device 40, flows along the blades 21 of the spiral stirring assembly 20 in the first cavity 1113, drives the spiral stirring assembly 20 to rotate, and drives the washing powder in the first cavity 1113 to flow together to form a washing powder solution, enters the spiral stirring assembly 20 of the second cavity 1114 from the side of the first cavity 1113 close to the second wall 1112, continues to flow along the spiral stirring assembly 20 in the second cavity 1114, then enters the third cavity 1115, continues to flow along the spiral stirring assembly 20 in the third cavity 1115, then enters the fourth cavity 1116, flows along the spiral stirring assembly 20 in the fourth cavity 1116, and flows out from the water outlet device 50 at the water outlet position. During the flow of water, the spiral stirring assembly 20 is rotated by the power of the water flow.

[0064] The spiral stirring components 20 are all arranged in a horizontal direction, that is, the water in the first delivery area 111 flows in a horizontal direction.

[0065] In some optional embodiments, the partition 30 can be set parallel to the axis of the spiral stirring component 20 when it is set. Of course, it can also be set at an acute angle. Here, the partition 30 and the axis of the spiral stirring component 20 are set parallel to each other, which can form a better blocking effect on water, so that water can only flow from one end of the spiral stirring component 20 into the next cavity.

[0066] In some optional embodiments, the partition 30 and the first wall 1111 are vertically arranged, wherein the first wall 1111 and the second wall 1112 are arranged in parallel. The partition 30 here can be in the shape of a flat plate. The vertical arrangement here is a relatively simple arrangement. Of course, when necessary, the angle between the partition 30 and the first wall 1111 can also be set to an acute angle or an obtuse angle, etc., wherein the partition 30 is arranged vertically to the first wall 1111, which can make the required length of the partition 30 shorter and reduce the material cost required for the partition 30.

[0067] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 2 is a structural schematic diagram of the spiral stirring assembly 20, the spiral stirring assembly 20 is provided with a blade 21 and a connecting portion 22, wherein the connecting portion 22 is provided at both ends of the blade 21; there are two connecting portions 22, and the two connecting portions 22 are respectively connected to the first wall 1111 and the second wall 1112 of the box body 10. When water enters the blade 21, the power of the water flow drives the blade 21 to rotate, thereby achieving stirring of the detergent solution.

[0068] It should be noted that the blades 21 and the connecting portion 22 here can be set as an integrally formed structure. There is no need to set up a structure of a rotating shaft and a stirring blade, nor is there a need to set up a structure of a rotating shaft and a stirring blade. After the water flow acts on the blades 21, the blades 21 rotate under the action of the water flow, which can save power and facilitate maintenance and replacement.

[0069] The blade 21 here is a spiral blade, which can be an integrated structure similar to a spiral slide, such as formed by an injection molding process using a plastic material; the blade 21 here can also be made of a metal material through a machining process, such as using a split multi-section structure, which can increase the service life of the blade 21.

[0070] To describe the structure of blade 21 in more detail, blade 21 is divided into three parts, namely, blade 21 includes a first spiral portion 211, a second spiral portion 212, and a third spiral portion 213, which are connected in sequence. A connecting portion 22 is formed at one end of first spiral portion 211. The flow surface of first spiral portion 211 is larger than the flow surface of second spiral portion 212. This allows more water to flow into first spiral portion 211 when water enters, resulting in a greater impact force, enhanced water flow dynamics, and ensures a stirring effect on the detergent solution. Similarly, the flow surface of third spiral portion 213 is larger than the flow surface of second spiral portion 212, allowing water to enter the spiral stirring assembly 20 in the next cavity at a greater flow rate.

[0071] The flow surface mentioned here refers to the contact surface with the blade 21 during the flow of water, and the water flows along the flow surface.

[0072] Of course, the flow surfaces of the first spiral portion 211, the second spiral portion 212, and the third spiral portion 213 can also be set to the same shape and size to facilitate assembly and replacement. In this structure, the first spiral portion 211, the second spiral portion 212, and the third spiral portion 213 form a flow channel, and water flows along the flow surface, and the spiral stirring assembly 20 is rotated by the power of the water flow.

[0073] Continue to refer to Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 The schematic diagram of the flow structure of the liquid on another spiral stirring component 20 is shown. The blade 21 includes at least two spiral parts connected in sequence. The at least two spiral parts are staggered so that the spiral parts form a first flow channel and a second flow channel respectively. Figure 7 , the number of spiral portions is three.

[0074] It should be noted that, in this case, the spiral portion has two flow surfaces. On the two surfaces of the spiral portion, the fluid can be divided into two paths, forming a first flow channel and a second flow channel.

[0075] The following combination Figure 7 , continue to expand the introduction of the structure of the present invention, in Figure 7 In the embodiment, there are three spiral portions, namely a first spiral portion 211, a second spiral portion 212 and a third spiral portion 213. The staggered angle between the first spiral portion 211 and the second spiral portion 212 is the same as the staggered angle between the second spiral portion 212 and the third spiral portion 213. Here, the first spiral portion 211, the second spiral portion 212 and the third spiral portion 213 all have two flow surfaces. Figure 7 The flow direction of the thin arrow is the first flow channel, and the flow direction of the thick arrow is the second flow channel, so that water can form the first flow channel and the second flow channel from both sides of the first spiral portion 211.

[0076] Here, the misalignment angle between the first spiral portion 211 and the second spiral portion 212 is the angle of the cross-arrangement between the two, and an acute angle is selected therein. For example, the misalignment angle between the first spiral portion 211 and the second spiral portion 212 can be 30 degrees or 40 degrees, etc. Similarly, this setting method is also adopted between the second spiral portion 212 and the third spiral portion 213, so that the misalignment angle between the second spiral portion 212 and the third spiral portion 213 also adopts the same angle. At this time, the setting direction of the first spiral portion 211 and the setting direction of the third spiral portion 213 are the same. When the number of spiral portions is more, for example, the number of spiral portions is four, the setting direction of the fourth spiral portion is the same as the setting direction of the second spiral portion 212. When the number of spirals is five, the setting direction of the fifth spiral portion is the same as the setting direction of the third spiral portion 213. For more spiral portions, this setting method is adopted.

[0077] In some optional embodiments, the box body 10 is further provided with a cover 60, which closes the delivery area. The cover 60 is rotatably connected to the top of the first wall 1111, or rotatably connected to the top of the second wall 1112, or rotatably connected to the top of the side wall of the delivery area. Figure 1 In the embodiment, a cover plate 60 is provided at the position of the first delivery area 111. After the washing powder is delivered into the first delivery area 111, the cover plate 60 is closed and the water inlet device 40 is opened.

[0078] In some optional embodiments, the dispensing device 100 is further provided with an activation portion 70, by which the user can open the cover 60 to expose at least a portion of the spiral stirring assembly 20. By operating the activation portion 70, the cover 60 is rotated open, thereby exposing at least a portion of the spiral stirring assembly 20, making it easier to dispense products such as laundry detergent.

[0079] It should be noted that the starting part 70 here can be a button structure. By setting a groove or a raised mark on the surface of the button, the starting part 70 is more eye-catching and the operation method is clearer. For example, a PUSH in the shape of a groove or a raised shape can be set on the surface of the button, so that the user can perform corresponding operations according to the content displayed on the button, thereby opening the cover 60.

[0080] Of course, the starting part 70 here can also adopt other structures, such as a push-pull mechanism. By pushing the starting part 70, the cover 60 rotates to open the first delivery area 111. By pulling the starting part 70, the cover 60 rotates in the opposite direction to close the first delivery area 111.

[0081] In addition, refer to Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 for Figure 2 The cross-sectional view in the AA direction (the cover 60 is shown in two states) shows that the cover 60 here is opened by selecting a rotational manner to open the first delivery area 111. When there is operating space, it can also be designed as a push-pull structure. When the cover 60 is opened by a rotational manner, the opening angle of the cover 60 is at least α and at most β, wherein α can be 20 or 30 degrees, and β can be 90 degrees. Therefore, the cover 60 can be opened to a certain angle, such as 40 degrees, 50 degrees or 60 degrees, so that the washing powder can enter the interior of the first delivery area 111.

[0082] exist Figure 3 In the embodiment, the cover plate 60 has two angles, namely α and β, wherein α is the minimum opening angle of the cover plate 60 and β is the maximum opening angle of the cover plate 60. In the actual working process, the cover plate 60 has only one working angle. Here, the opening range of the cover plate 60 is limited, so that the position of the cover plate 60 corresponding to the minimum opening angle and the position of the cover plate 60 corresponding to the maximum opening angle are both at Figure 3 Marked in.

[0083] In some optional embodiments, the delivery device 100 further includes a drawer portion 80, which is located on one side of the delivery area 11 and is arranged close to the second wall 1112 of the delivery area 11, and the drawer portion 80 is close to the user's side.

[0084] By providing the drawer portion 80, the user can conveniently adjust the position of the dispensing device 100 by pushing or pulling out the drawer portion 80. When washing powder, softener or detergent needs to be put in, the dispensing device 100 is pulled out through the drawer portion 80. When the washing powder, softener or detergent is put in, the dispensing device 100 is pushed into the interior of the clothes washing machine through the drawer portion 80.

[0085] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a clothing processing device is also provided, comprising the dispensing device 100 mentioned in the above embodiment. The clothing processing device of the present invention improves the structure of the dispensing device 100 by providing a dispensing area 11 in the box body 10 and providing a spiral stirring component 20 inside the dispensing area 11. This allows the detergent, softener, or washing powder entering the dispensing area 11 to be fully dissolved under the stirring action of the spiral stirring component 20, generating more foam and improving the washing effect. The spiral stirring component 20 plays a significant role in the dissolution process of the washing powder. When the fully dissolved washing powder is used to wash clothes, the washing effect can be improved and particle residue can be reduced.
