Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing processing equipment with clothing processing function, and more particularly to a dispensing device with the function of introducing water into the clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development, more and more laundry equipment has entered households; and with the improvement of living standards, laundry equipment is no longer limited to washing functions, but also integrates many other functions, such as drying and ironing. We will refer to them collectively as clothing processing equipment.

[0003] Regardless of their specific functions, all garment processing equipment generally requires a dispensing device. This allows the equipment to utilize different water supply channels on the dispensing device to deliver water to various water-using components. Additionally, existing garment processing equipment includes dispensing chambers on the dispensing devices for adding one or more additives. These chambers allow the additives to be dispensed according to the different water supply channels on the dispensing device, thus enabling the garment processing equipment to perform its various garment processing functions.

[0004] However, the different water passage structures integrated on existing dispensing devices are generally single-ventilation structures, which not only complicates the structure of the dispensing device, but also increases the size and cost of the dispensing device due to the additional ventilation structures.

[0005] In particular, when water channels with different water pressures are set up on the dispensing device, there is a pressure difference between the different water channels. Therefore, how to install a venting structure on the dispensing device to prevent the high-pressure water channel from being affected by the low-pressure water channel and causing pressure loss due to the venting structure has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

[0006] In view of this, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

The jet ejector is installed in the installation chamber, and the inlet and outlet of the jet ejector are respectively connected to the first inlet chamber and the first outlet chamber. An anti-backflow gap is provided on the jet ejector, which faces downward and is connected to the ventilation channel provided below.

[0019] Preferably, the inlet of the first water inlet chamber is connected to the water inlet valve via the first water inlet pipe, and the axis of the jet ejector is horizontally extended and installed above the first water inlet chamber and on one side of the first water outlet chamber. The inlet of the jet ejector is connected to the outlet of the first water inlet chamber via the mounting chamber. The outlet of the jet ejector is connected to the first water outlet chamber which is coaxially extended. The end of the first water outlet chamber is provided with a first water outlet connector coaxially opened with the jet ejector and a water supply flow dispensing device.

[0020] Furthermore, the second water supply circuit includes a second inlet chamber, a water passage chamber, and a second outlet chamber; the inlet of the second inlet chamber is connected to the inlet control valve via the second inlet pipe, and a water passage chamber is provided above the second inlet chamber, the water passage chamber having a water inlet and a water outlet, the water inlet being connected to the outlet provided at the top of the second inlet chamber; the second outlet chamber is located below the water passage chamber and on one side of the first outlet chamber, the water outlet being connected to the top of the second outlet chamber, and a second outlet connector of the water supply flow dispensing device is provided at the bottom of the water passage chamber.

[0021] Furthermore, the second water outlet chamber of the second water supply circuit has a vent at the top of its side wall; the ventilation channel extends horizontally and is located on one side of the second water outlet chamber, with the vent connected to one end of the ventilation channel and the other end of the ventilation channel having an opening connected to the water inlet chamber below.

[0022] Furthermore, the jet ejector installed on the first water supply line is located above the opening of the ventilation channel. The gap on the jet ejector is set downward and is opened opposite to the opening below, so as to connect the gap of the jet ejector directly to the water inlet chamber of the water box through the opening.

[0023] Furthermore, the upper cover of the dispensing device is composed of an upper cover plate and a lower cover plate that interlock with each other. The first water inlet chamber of the first water supply path, the second water inlet chamber and the second water outlet chamber of the second water supply path are all located between the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate. The jetting device of the first water supply path, the first water outlet chamber and the water passage chamber of the second water supply path are all protruding upwards on the upper side of the upper cover plate.

[0024] The ventilation channel is located between the upper and lower cover plates and is connected to the anti-backflow gap on the ejector of the first water supply channel above and the second water outlet chamber of the second water supply channel on the adjacent side.

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the defect management mode in the embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, this embodiment introduces an ejector 100, which is mainly used for water intake of clothing processing equipment such as washing machines and dryers. It allows the incoming water flow to be pressurized through the ejector to obtain an increased water pressure flow, while also preventing backflow of the incoming water flow and avoiding cross-contamination of water flows containing additives.

[0051] In this embodiment, the jet injector 100 used in the garment processing equipment consists of a front chamber 1, a connecting part 2, and a rear chamber 3 connected in sequence to form a channel through which the water flows. In this embodiment, the two ends of the front chamber 1 of the jet ejector are the jet ejector inlet 4 and the jet ejection hole 8, respectively. The inlet 4 is used to connect with the upstream waterway, and the jet ejection hole 8 is connected with the connecting part 2. The two ends of the connecting part 2 are connected with the jet ejection hole 8 of the front chamber 1 and the jet injection hole 9 of the rear chamber 3, respectively. At the same time, the connecting part 2 is provided with a gap 10 to connect the flow channel formed by the jet ejector 100 with the external atmosphere. The gap 10 is used to discharge the water flow that flows back from the rear chamber 3, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing backflow in the waterway where the jet ejector is installed. The two ends of the rear chamber 3 are the jet injection hole 9 and the jet ejector 100 outlet 5, respectively. The jet injection hole 9 is connected with the connecting part 2 and is opened opposite to the jet injection hole 9, so that the water flow in the connecting part 2 flowing into the jet injection hole 9 can jump over the gap 10 provided on the connecting part 2 under its own water pressure and be directly sprayed into the jet ejection hole 8 on the rear chamber 3, so as to achieve the effect of smooth water flow in the jet ejector 100 without interference from the gap.

[0052] In this embodiment, the rear chamber 3 has a variable diameter flow channel with a cross-sectional size that gradually increases along the water flow direction. The small end of the variable diameter flow channel is directly connected to the injection hole 9, so that the water inlet of the rear chamber 3 is formed by the narrowed variable diameter flow channel, thereby reducing the flow rate and pressure of the backflow in the rear chamber 3, and thus preventing the backflow from jumping over the gap 10 and flowing into the front chamber 1. At the same time, since the injection hole 9 of the rear chamber 3 is connected to the narrowed variable diameter flow channel, the aperture at the connection between the rear chamber 3 and the gap 10 becomes smaller, so that the water pressure in the rear chamber 3 will not be depressurized, thereby achieving the purpose of maintaining the pressure of the water flow in the rear chamber 3.

[0053] In this embodiment, the ejection port 8 and the injection port 9 of the jet injector 100 are coaxially arranged. The water jetting out of the ejection port 8 flows directly into the injection port 9 through the flow channel formed by the connecting part 2, so that the water jetting out of the ejection port 8 can be directly injected into the injection port 9 without interference, thereby achieving the effect of water flow jumping over the gap 10 and smooth water intake.

[0054] In this embodiment, the connecting part of the jet injector 100 is a cylindrical structure. The front chamber 1 and the rear chamber 3 are located at the two ends of the connecting part 2 of the cylindrical structure, respectively. The ejection port 8 of the front chamber 1 and the injection port 9 of the rear chamber 3 are both coaxial or parallel to the axis of the connecting part 2 of the cylindrical structure. Preferably, the injection port 9 and the ejection port 8 are located close to the axis of the cylindrical connecting part 2 to reduce the interference of the jetted water flow with the inner wall of the cylindrical connecting part 2.

[0055] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the water flow transition effect and improve the pressure holding effect of the jet injector 100, the following settings are made: the diameter of the cylindrical connecting part 2 is larger than the diameter of the injection hole 9 and the injection hole 8; preferably, the diameter of the cylindrical connecting part 2 is much larger than the diameter of the injection hole 9 and the injection hole 8; more preferably, the diameter of the cylindrical connecting part 2 is more than twice the diameter of the injection hole 9 and also more than twice the diameter of the injection hole 8, so that the water inlet end of the rear chamber is not open, but the variable diameter flow channel through the open is connected to the connecting part, thereby achieving the effect of maintaining the pressure of the water flow in the rear chamber.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the jet ejector 100 is an independent component consisting of a housing 15. The housing 15 is cylindrical, and the interior of the cylindrical housing 15 is hollow, forming a flow channel with a straight axis. Two partition ribs are arranged at intervals inside the flow channel, namely the front wall 13 and the rear wall 14, which are used to divide the flow channel inside the housing 15 into three parts. The housing 15 between the front wall 13 and the rear wall 14 forms the connecting part 2. The flow channel ends at both ends of the housing 15 form the inlet 4 and the outlet 5, respectively. The flow channel part between the inlet 4 and the front wall 13 forms the front chamber 1, and the flow channel part between the outlet 5 and the rear wall 14 forms the rear chamber 3. The ejection hole 8 is provided on the front wall 13 and the ejection hole 8 is provided on the rear wall 14. The injection hole 9 and the ejection hole 8 are coaxial and arranged close to the axial direction of the cylindrical housing 15. A notch is opened in the middle of the side wall of the housing 15, forming a gap 10 that connects the connecting part 2 to the outside atmosphere.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the variable diameter flow channel provided on the rear chamber 3 is a first conical flow channel 6 extending along the axial direction of the injection hole 9. The small end of the first conical flow channel 6 is connected to the injection hole 9, which is coaxially arranged with the same diameter, and the large end is connected to the water outlet 5 located on the side of the rear chamber 3 away from the connecting part. The water outlet 5 is used to connect the water path downstream of the jet ejector 100. The first conical flow channel 6 is coaxially arranged with the injection hole 9. Preferably, the diameter of the large end of the first conical flow channel 6 is larger than the diameter of the injection hole 8 and smaller than or equal to the diameter of the cylindrical connecting part 2.

[0058] Meanwhile, although this embodiment is described with the variable diameter flow channel set as a cone shape, the variable diameter flow channel in this invention is not limited to a cone shape. It can also be a flow channel structure with only one or more sides having an inclined slope and the cross-sectional area increasing along the direction of water inlet flow.

[0059] In this embodiment, the front chamber 1 is composed of a second conical flow channel 7 that gradually narrows along the water flow direction. It is used to pressurize the jet water flowing out of the ejection hole 8, so that the water flowing out of the ejection hole 8 has sufficient water pressure to jump to the connection part 2 and avoids problems such as the water flowing out of the gap 10 affecting the smoothness of water intake. Preferably, the small end of the second conical flow channel 7 is coaxially and equally sized with the ejection hole 8 of the front chamber 1 and is connected to it. The large end of the second conical flow channel 7 is located on the side of the front chamber 1 away from the connection part 2 and forms an inlet 4 that is connected to the water path upstream of the jet injector 100. The second conical flow channel 7 is coaxially arranged with the ejection hole 8 of the front chamber 1.

[0060] Similarly, in this embodiment, the flow channel of the front chamber is set as a cone shape to pressurize and spray the flowing water; however, the flow channel in the front chamber of the present invention is not limited to a cone shape, and can also be a flow channel structure with an inclined slope on only one or more sides and a cross-sectional area that decreases along the direction of the inlet water flow.

[0061] In this embodiment, one side of the cylindrical connecting portion 2 has a square notch extending in the axial direction. The notch forms a gap 10 that connects the flow channel of the ejector to the external atmosphere. Preferably, the cylindrical connecting portion 2 extends in the horizontal direction, and the notch on the side wall of the cylindrical connecting portion 2 faces downward. More preferably, the axes of the injection hole 9 and the injection hole 8 are eccentrically positioned slightly away from the notch relative to the axis of the cylindrical connecting portion 2, thereby allowing the backflowing water to flow smoothly out of the notch and further reducing the occurrence of backflow into the front chamber 1. Furthermore, the gap 10 on one side of the cylindrical connecting portion 2 has a width in the radial direction that is smaller than the radial diameter of the connecting portion 2, and a length in the axial direction that is less than or equal to the axial length of the connecting portion 2.

[0062] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the injection hole 9 is equal to or approximately equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the injection hole 8, so that the water jet from the injection hole 8 can fill the injection hole 9 accordingly. This ensures that the injection hole 9 is covered by water during the water intake process, reducing the gap space between it and the external atmosphere, thereby achieving the effect of maintaining pressure on the water flowing into the rear chamber 3. Preferably, the cross-sectional area of ​​the injection hole 9 is slightly smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the injection hole 8, so that the water flowing to the injection hole 8 can flow into the injection hole 9 to the maximum extent, improving the water intake efficiency.

[0063] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, the injection hole 9 and the injection hole 8 of the jet injector 100 are coaxially arranged circular holes, and the diameter of the injection hole 9 is smaller than the diameter of the injection hole 8 and larger than seven-tenths of the diameter of the injection hole 8. More preferably, the injection hole 9 and the injection hole 8 of the jet injector 100 can also be channels with any cross-section, such as square, elliptical, polygonal, etc.

[0064] In this embodiment, the front chamber 1, connecting part 2, and rear chamber 3 of the jet injector 100 are all coaxially arranged, and the flow channels provided inside are connected in sequence to form a channel through which the water supply flows and whose axis extends in a straight line; preferably, the front chamber 1, connecting part 2, and rear chamber 3 are integrally arranged to form a columnar integral component, and the two ends of the columnar integral component respectively form a water inlet 4 and a water outlet 5, and the side wall of the columnar integral component is provided with a notch forming a gap 10.

[0065] Preferably, in this embodiment, the columnar outer wall of the jet ejector 100 is provided with at least one sealing ring 12, which is used to isolate the gap between the outer wall of the jet ejector 100 and the inner wall of the water channel after the jet ejector 100 is installed in the water channel, so that the water flow in the upstream water channel can only flow to the downstream water channel through the internal flow channel of the jet ejector 100; more preferably, at least one sealing ring 12 is provided upstream and downstream of the gap 10 of the jet ejector 100, respectively, to ensure that the water flow in the water channel in which the jet ejector 100 is installed will not leak out from the gap 10.

[0066] Example 2

[0067] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown in the figure, this embodiment introduces a dispensing device 300, including a water supply channel 200; a jet injector 100 is installed on the water supply channel 200, and the jet injector 100 is provided with an anti-backflow gap 10 that connects the water supply channel 200 to the external atmosphere; the jet injector 100 is provided with a variable diameter flow channel located downstream of the anti-backflow gap 10, whose cross-sectional size gradually increases along the water flow direction.

[0068] In this embodiment, the jet ejector 100 is installed inside the water supply circuit 200. The inlet 4 and outlet 5 of the jet ejector 100 are connected to the upstream and downstream of the water supply circuit 200, respectively, so that the incoming water flow in the water supply circuit 200 must flow through the flow channel inside the jet ejector 100. After the incoming water flow passes through the jet ejector 100, it will be affected by the variable diameter flow channel downstream of the anti-backflow gap 10 of the jet ejector 100, thereby achieving the effect of maintaining the pressure of the incoming water flow. This avoids the occurrence of pressure loss in the downstream water circuit after the gap 10 is opened in the water supply circuit, so that the water supply circuit 200 can provide high-pressure water flow while realizing the anti-backflow function.

[0069] like Figures 1 to 13As shown, in this embodiment, the jet ejector 100 is the jet ejector 100 described in the first embodiment above, where the gap 10 of the jet ejector 100 in the first embodiment constitutes an anti-backflow gap 10. Of course, the jet ejector in this embodiment can also be other jet ejector structures that have the above-mentioned anti-backflow gap and a variable diameter flow channel is provided downstream of the anti-backflow gap (not shown in the drawings).

[0070] like Figures 6 to 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the water supply circuit 200 is provided with an installation cavity 22, the jet injector 100 is provided in the installation cavity 22, the installation cavity 22 is provided with an opening 24, and the anti-backflow gap 10 of the jet injector 100 is set towards the opening 24, so that the flow channel inside the jet injector 100 is connected to the external atmosphere through the anti-backflow gap 10 and the opening 24.

[0071] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, in order to ensure the airtightness of the water supply circuit 200, a sealing ring 12 is provided on the outer periphery of the jet 100 at the upstream and downstream of the anti-backflow gap 10. The outer periphery of the sealing ring 12 is in sealed contact with the inner wall of the water supply circuit 200, so that the water supply circuit 200 will not leak water from the opening 24.

[0072] Furthermore, in order to ensure the smooth flow of water in the water supply circuit, the axis of the installation cavity 22 extends in a straight line, so that the water flowing out of the ejector 100 from the outlet 5 also extends in a straight line, thereby improving the pressure holding effect of the water supply circuit 200 and improving the smoothness of water flow.

[0073] In this embodiment, the dispensing device 300 includes a water box 31. The internal space of the water box 31 forms a water inlet cavity 33 that communicates with the external atmosphere. The front end of the water box 31 is open, and the top wall is formed by a cover 32. The water inlet cavity 33 is connected to the external atmosphere through the front end of the water box 31. The water supply circuit 200 is integrated on the cover 32 of the water box 31. The anti-backflow gap 10 of the jet injector 10 is opened downward and is connected to the water inlet cavity 33 inside the water box 31. This allows the water flowing back from the anti-backflow gap 10 to fall directly into the water inlet cavity 33 of the water box 31 and then flow out of the dispensing device 300 from the outlet at the bottom of the water inlet cavity 33. It also allows the anti-backflow gap 10 to communicate with the external atmosphere through the water inlet cavity 33.

[0074] In this embodiment, a drawer section located in the water inlet cavity 33 can also be installed inside the water box 31, which is open at the front and can be pulled outwards. The drawer section has one or more dispensing chambers for storing and dispensing different types of additives. At the same time, other water channels can be integrated on the upper cover 32 of the water box 31 to dispense the additives in each dispensing chamber accordingly, so as to achieve the effect of dispensing different additives (not shown in the drawings).

[0075] In this embodiment, the upper cover 32 of the water box 31 is formed by the corresponding snap-fit ​​connection of the lower cover plate 35 and the upper cover plate 34. The outer periphery of the upper and lower cover plates 34 and 35 is sealed and connected to form a hollow part inside. At the same time, multiple baffles are provided in the hollow part, so that the hollow part is divided into multiple different water channels. Of course, the upper cover 32 in this embodiment can also be set as an integral piece, and the required hollow water channels are set inside the upper cover of the integral piece.

[0076] like Figures 6 to 13 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper cover plate 34 of the upper cover 32 of the water box 31 is provided with an upwardly protruding mounting cavity 22 and a first water outlet cavity 23. The mounting cavity 22 and the first water outlet cavity 23 are arranged in sequence and connected. The bottom of the end of the mounting cavity 22 away from the first water outlet cavity 23 is provided with an opening 24. The opening 24 connects the mounting cavity 22 protruding on the upper side of the upper cover plate 34 and the first water inlet cavity 21 provided on the lower side of the upper cover plate 34 and between the upper and lower cover plates 34 and 35. The top of one end of the first water inlet cavity 21 is connected to the mounting cavity 22 through the opening 24, and the bottom of the other end is connected to the external pipeline and the water inlet valve 36 through a connector, so as to form the water supply path 200 for the installation of the jet injector 100, namely the first water supply path 201.

[0077] In this embodiment, a sealing structure is provided between the ejector 100 and the inner wall of the water supply channel 200 to separate the opening 24 from the water supply channels 2 on the upstream and downstream sides of the ejector 100, so as to avoid problems such as water flowing directly out of the opening and into the gap affecting the jet water flow in the ejector channel.

[0078] In this embodiment, at least one radially outwardly protruding sealing structure is provided on the housing 15 of the jet injector 100 on the upstream and downstream sides of the anti-backflow gap 10, so as to achieve the purpose of separating the first water inlet chamber 21 and the first water outlet chamber 23 from the opening 24. In this embodiment, the sealing structure can be any structure with fluid sealing function in the prior art, such as a sealing ring, sealing gasket, etc. Preferably, in this embodiment, the sealing structure is a sealing ring 12 sleeved on the outer wall of the housing 15 of the jet injector 100. The sealing ring 12 is made of a material such as rubber that can produce elastic deformation. The outer periphery of the sealing ring 122 is in sealing contact with the inner wall of the water supply channel 200 to isolate the upstream and downstream water channels and thus form a sealing structure.

[0079] Preferably, in this embodiment, an inwardly recessed mounting groove is provided on the outer wall of the housing 15 of the jet injector 100, and the sealing rings 12 are fitted into the corresponding mounting grooves one by one to achieve the positioning and installation of the sealing rings 12 in the axial direction.

[0080] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 12 on the cylindrical jet ejector 100, located upstream of the anti-backflow gap 10, is located downstream of the strip-shaped mounting cavity 22 and the first water inlet cavity 21. The sealing ring 12 on the cylindrical jet ejector 100, located downstream of the anti-backflow gap 10, is located upstream of the strip-shaped mounting cavity 22 and the first water outlet cavity 23.

[0081] In this embodiment, the first water inlet chamber 21 is located below the strip-shaped mounting cavity 22. The bottom wall of the water inlet end of the mounting cavity 22 is provided with a through hole that communicates with the first water inlet chamber 21 below. At least a portion of the cylindrical jet ejector 100 is located above the through hole. The end of the cylindrical jet ejector 100 located above the through hole is the water inlet 4. There is a gap between the water inlet 4 and the inner wall surface of the strip-shaped mounting cavity 22 to ensure the smooth water intake of the jet ejector 100.

[0082] In this embodiment, the mounting cavity 22 and the first water outlet cavity 23 are coaxially arranged, so that the axis of the flow channel they form is in a straight line, making the water flow smoother.

[0083] In this embodiment, the ejector 100 is coaxially inserted into the mounting cavity 22. The front chamber 1 and the connecting part 2 of the ejector 100 are correspondingly inserted into the first water inlet cavity 21. The sealing ring 12 provided at the junction of the front chamber 1 and the connecting part 2 of the ejector 100 is in sealing contact with the inner wall of the mounting cavity 22, thereby separating the upstream and downstream parts of the mounting cavity 22, so that the water flowing into the mounting cavity 22 from the first water inlet cavity 21 can only flow into the flow channel inside the ejector 100. The bottom of the mounting cavity 22 near the first water outlet cavity 23 is provided with an opening 24, which is located downstream of the sealing ring 12 provided at the junction of the front chamber 1 and the connecting part 2 of the ejector 100. The opening is connected to the ventilation channel 212 provided between the upper cover plate 34 and the lower cover plate 35. The ventilation channel 212 is provided with an opening 213 that penetrates the lower cover plate 35, and the opening 213 connects the ventilation channel 212, the water inlet cavity 33 through the water box 31, and the atmosphere. The anti-backflow gap 10 on the connecting part 2 of the jet ejector 100 is oriented towards the opening 24, and the opening 213 is correspondingly opened below the opening 24, allowing the jet ejector 100 to directly communicate with the water inlet chamber 33 of the water box 31 via the anti-backflow gap 10, the opening 24, and the opening 213. The sealing ring 12 provided at the junction of the rear chamber 3 of the jet ejector 100 and the connecting part 2 is located in the mounting cavity 22 downstream of the opening 24 and is in sealing contact with the inner wall of the mounting cavity 22, thus separating the mounting cavity 22 from the first water outlet cavity 23. This prevents the first water outlet cavity 23 from directly communicating with the atmosphere through the gap 10, thus isolating the water path downstream of the jet ejector from the anti-backflow gap 10, thereby achieving the effect of maintaining pressure.

[0084] Meanwhile, a sealing ring 12 is provided on the outer periphery of the gap 10 of the ejector 100, one upstream and one downstream. The two sealing rings 12 are used to support and install the ejector 100 in the water inlet chamber 33, so that the front and rear ends of the ejector 100 are supported and installed respectively along the axial direction, so that the ejector 100 can be stably assembled in the water supply circuit 200.

[0085] In this embodiment, the top of the first water outlet chamber 23 is provided with a removable cover plate 37, so that the jet injector 100 can be installed or replaced after the cover plate 37 is removed. At the same time, in order to ensure the airtightness of the water supply circuit 200, a sealing structure needs to be provided at the junction of the cover plate 37 and the upper cover 32 to ensure that there is no gap between the cover plate 37 and the upper cover 32 in the water inlet chamber 33.

[0086] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, in this embodiment, the peripheral wall of the jet ejector 100 is provided with an outwardly protruding mounting rib 11. The mounting rib 11 is placed on the upper cover 32 of the water box 31 to prevent the jet ejector 100 from rotating axially after being installed in the mounting cavity 22. At the same time, by clamping the mounting rib 11 between the cover plate 37 and the upper cover plate 34 of the upper cover 32, the jet ejector 100 can be limited in two different directions in the circumferential direction, effectively preventing the problem of circumferential rotation after installation. Preferably, the mounting rib 11 is located at the rear chamber 3 of the jet ejector 100 to avoid the problem of assembly inconvenience caused by the interference of the mounting rib 11 when the jet ejector 100 is inserted into the mounting cavity 22 from the first water outlet cavity 23. More preferably, the protruding length of the mounting rib 11 is greater than the difference between the radial dimension of the mounting cavity 22 and the outer peripheral radial dimension of the cylindrical jet ejector 100, so that the mounting rib can form a limiting structure, so that the jet ejector 100, during the process of being inserted from the first water outlet cavity 23 into the mounting cavity 22, is limited and abutted against the end of the first water outlet cavity 23, thereby ensuring that the jet ejector is installed in place.

[0087] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in this embodiment, a radially protruding and downwardly recessed positioning groove 211 is provided on one side of the first water outlet cavity 23. The positioning groove is located at the junction of the first water outlet cavity 23 and the mounting cavity 22, and is used to provide axial positioning and fixing of the mounting rib 11 after the jet injector 100 is installed. After the jet injector is installed into the mounting cavity 22, the mounting rib 11 protruding from the outer periphery of the rear chamber 3 of the jet injector 100 is inserted into the positioning groove 211, so that the mounting rib 11 is limited by the positioning groove 211, thereby realizing the axial fixing of the jet injector 100 and ensuring the fixed installation of the jet injector 100.

[0088] In this embodiment, the top of the upper cover 32 is provided with a positioning groove 211 connected to the first water outlet cavity 23 and located on one side of the first water outlet cavity 23. The positioning groove 211 is located at the connection between the first water outlet cavity 23 and the mounting cavity 22. The mounting rib 11 of the jet ejector 100 is inserted into the positioning groove 211. In this embodiment, the mounting rib 11 extends along the tangential direction of the outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical jet ejector 100. The distance between the end of the mounting rib 11 and the center of the cylindrical jet ejector 100 is greater than the radial dimension of the mounting cavity 22, so as to ensure that at least a part of the mounting rib 11 can be inserted into the positioning groove. The positioning groove is used to achieve the effect of axial installation limitation of the jet ejector. With the above settings, after the jet ejector 100 is inserted into the mounting cavity 22 from the first water outlet cavity 23, the jet ejector 100 is rotated around the axis, so that the mounting rib 11 is inserted into the positioning groove 211 from the upper opening and then the cover plate 37 is fastened, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the jet ejector 100 on the dispensing device 300.

[0089] Furthermore, to ensure the jet injector 100 is fixed in the axial direction after installation, other positioning structures can be provided on the upper cover plate 34 to restrict the movement of the mounting rib 11 in the axial direction of the jet injector 100. The positioning structure can be any structure in the prior art, such as: two protruding ribs on the upper cover plate 34, which respectively limit the contact with the mounting rib 11 on opposite sides along the axial direction of the jet injector 100 to ensure the fixation of the jet injector 100 in the axial direction; or, a positioning groove is provided on the upper cover plate 34, and a corresponding positioning protrusion is provided on the mounting rib 11. After the mounting rib 11 is placed on the upper cover plate 34, the positioning protrusion is inserted into the positioning groove, which can also achieve the fixation of the jet injector 100 in the axial direction (not shown in the attached drawings).

The vent 210 is connected to the gap 10 of the jet injector 100 installed on the first water supply path 201 and is connected to the atmosphere through the same ventilation channel 212, so as to realize that different water supply paths on the dispensing device 300 share the same ventilation channel 212, thereby achieving the effect of simplifying the structure of the dispensing device.

[0095] In this embodiment, the dispensing device 300 is also provided with a ventilation channel 212. The two ends of the ventilation channel 212 are connected to the vent 210 of the second water supply channel 202 and the outside atmosphere, respectively. The anti-backflow gap 10 of the jet injector 100 is connected to the ventilation channel 212 through an opening 24 on the upper cover plate 34.

[0096] In this embodiment, the ventilation channel 212, the first water supply channel 201, and the second water supply channel 202 are all integrated on the upper cover 32 of the water box 31.

The water passage chamber 26 has a water inlet 28 and a water outlet 29. The water inlet 28 and the water outlet 29 are alternately arranged on the bottom wall of the water passage chamber 26 and both penetrate the upper cover plate 34. The water inlet 28 connects the water passage chamber 26 with the top of the second water inlet chamber 25.

[0100] The second water outlet chamber 27 is located below the water passage chamber 26, between the upper cover plate 34 and the lower cover plate 35. The water passage outlet 29 connects the top of the water passage chamber 26 and the second water outlet chamber 27. The bottom of the second water outlet chamber 27 is provided with the second water outlet of the water supply flow dispensing device 300. The second water outlet is connected to the heat exchange water inlet pipe of the condenser of the clothing processing equipment through a pipeline to provide condensing heat exchange water to the condenser of the clothing processing equipment.

[0101] In this embodiment, the upper part of the second water outlet chamber 27 of the second water supply circuit 202 is provided with a vent 210. The vent 210 is formed by a notch opened at the top of the protruding rib provided on the lower cover plate 35 that constitutes the side wall of the second water outlet chamber 27. The notch connects the second water outlet chamber 27 located on both sides of the baffle rib with the ventilation channel 212.

[0102] In this embodiment, the jet injector 100 provided on the first water supply channel 201 is located above the opening 213 of the ventilation channel 212. The anti-backflow gap 10 provided on the jet injector 100 is set downward and opened opposite to the opening 213 below, so as to connect the anti-backflow gap 10 of the jet injector 100 directly to the water inlet cavity 33 of the water box 31 through the opening 213.

[0103] In this embodiment, the ventilation channel 212 is also provided with an overflow outlet 214. The overflow outlet 214 is located near the connection point of the vent 210 and is set away from the opening 213 relative to the vent 210. The overflow outlet 214 is connected to the drain pipe of the clothing processing equipment and is used to discharge the overflow water flow of the clothing processing equipment. Preferably, in order to ensure smooth discharge of the overflow water flow, the overflow outlet 214 is set at the lowest point of the ventilation channel 212 so as to ensure that all the overflow water flow flowing into the ventilation channel 212 can be discharged through the overflow outlet 214, and to ensure that the dispensing device 300 will not overflow.

[0104] Example 4
