They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0054] The clothing processing apparatus 1000 of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the clothing treatment device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a clothing treatment drum 200, a detergent dispensing component 300, and a spray pipe 500.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, the garment processing drum 200 has a water inlet 211. During the garment processing process of the garment processing device 1000, water can be supplied into the garment processing drum 200 through the water inlet 211.

[0057] In some examples, the laundry treatment cylinder 200 defines a laundry treatment cavity therein, and the water inlet 211 is in communication with the laundry treatment cavity. When laundry needs to be cleaned, the laundry to be cleaned can be placed in the laundry treatment cavity, and at this time, the water inlet 211 in communication with the laundry treatment cavity can introduce water in the external water source into the laundry treatment cavity to wet the laundry placed in the laundry treatment device 1000, facilitating the cleaning of the laundry in the laundry treatment device 1000.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 1, the detergent dispensing assembly 300 includes a detergent box 340, a detergent dispensing box 310, and a detergent dissolving box 320. The detergent box 340 defines an accommodation cavity for accommodating the detergent dispensing box 310, ensuring that the detergent dispensing box 310 can be placed in the detergent box 340. The detergent dispensing box 310 is movably arranged in the accommodation cavity and has a detergent dispensing cavity 311. When it is necessary to place detergent in the detergent dispensing assembly 300, the detergent dispensing box 310 is pulled out so that the detergent dispensing box 310 moves relative to the detergent box 340 to expose the detergent dispensing cavity 311, thereby facilitating the placement of detergent in the detergent dispensing cavity 311 and cleaning the laundry in the laundry treatment device 1000 with the detergent, thereby improving the cleaning quality of the laundry treatment device 1000 and enhancing the user experience. Figure 2 Of course, in other examples, cleaning media such as bleach and softener can also be placed in the detergent dispensing cavity 311. For ease of description, the following description mainly focuses on the placement of detergent in the detergent dispensing cavity 311.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 1, the detergent dissolving box 320 has a dissolving cavity 321 and a cleaning cavity 322. The dissolving cavity 321 is in communication with the external water source and the water inlet 211. In this way, when water in the external water source is transported to the water inlet 211, the water needs to flow through the dissolving cavity 321, or the water in the external water source enters the dissolving cavity 321 and can be transported to the water inlet 211.

[0060] Figure 5 The cleaning cavity 322 is in communication with the external water source and the accommodation cavity. It can be understood that when water in the external water source is transported to the accommodation cavity, the water needs to flow through the cleaning cavity 322, or the water in the external water source enters the cleaning cavity 322 and can be transported to the accommodation cavity.

[0061] The cleaning cavity 322 is in communication with the external water source and the accommodation cavity. It can be understood that when water in the external water source is transported to the accommodation cavity, the water needs to flow through the cleaning cavity 322, or the water in the external water source enters the cleaning cavity 322 and can be transported to the accommodation cavity.

[0062] ​The spray pipe 500 is connected with the cleaning cavity 322 and the clothes treatment cylinder 200. The water in the cleaning cavity 322 is transmitted to the clothes treatment cylinder 200, so that the clothes treatment cylinder 200 is cleaned, and the cleanliness of the clothes treatment cylinder 200 is improved. Since the cleaning cavity 322 is connected with the external water source, the water in the external water source can flow to the clothes treatment cylinder 200 through the cleaning cavity 322 and the spray pipe 500, so that the clothes treatment cylinder 200 is cleaned.

[0063] It should be noted that since the detergent dispensing cavity 311 is suitable for placing the detergent, after the detergent dispensing assembly 300 is used for a period of time, part of the detergent in the detergent dispensing cavity 311 will be left in the detergent dispensing cavity 311 and adhered to the inner wall of the detergent dispensing cavity 311. If not treated in time, it will affect the cleaning quality of the clothes treatment device 1000 and reduce the user experience.

[0064] Therefore, the clothes treatment device 1000 of the embodiment of the present application is provided with the cleaning cavity 322 connected with the external water source and the containing cavity. The cleaning cavity 322 is used to introduce the water in the external water source into the containing cavity, so as to flush the detergent left on the inner wall of the detergent dispensing cavity 311, so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning the detergent dispensing cavity 311, thereby improving the cleanliness of the detergent dispensing cavity 311. It can also be understood that the clothes treatment device 1000 of the present application has the function of automatically cleaning the detergent dispensing cavity 311.

[0065] It should be noted that the cleaning cavity 322 of the present application is also connected with the spray pipe 500 used for cleaning the clothes treatment cylinder 200. Thus, the water entering the cleaning cavity 322 can flow into the containing cavity and the spray pipe 500. It can also be understood that when the clothes treatment cylinder 200 needs to be cleaned, the containing cavity can be cleaned at the same time; or when the containing cavity needs to be cleaned, the clothes treatment cylinder 200 can be cleaned at the same time, so as to achieve the purpose of simultaneously cleaning the containing cavity and the clothes treatment cylinder 200, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the containing cavity and the clothes treatment cylinder 200.

[0066] It can be understood that, compared with the prior art, the clothes treatment device 1000 of the present application has the function of automatically cleaning the detergent dispensing cavity 311, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the detergent dispensing cavity 311, and at the same time, reduce the labor intensity of the user when using the clothes treatment device 1000, and improve the user experience.

[0067] Optionally, one end of the containing cavity is connected with the clothes treatment cylinder 200 or the water outlet of the clothes treatment device 1000. When the detergent dispensing cavity 311 is cleaned, the water and the detergent in the containing cavity can be discharged, so as to improve the cleaning quality.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the detergent dissolving box 320 is arranged on the top of the detergent dispensing box 310. Since the cleaning cavity 322 is arranged in the detergent dissolving box 320, and the detergent dispensing cavity 311 is arranged in the detergent dispensing box 310, arranging the detergent dissolving box 320 on the top of the detergent dispensing box 310 is equivalent to ensuring that the cleaning cavity 322 is located on the top of the detergent dispensing cavity 311, so that the water in the cleaning cavity 322 can flow into the detergent dispensing cavity 311 under the action of gravity, so as to wash the detergent in the detergent dispensing cavity 311.

[0069] In addition, arranging the detergent dissolving box 320 on the top of the detergent dispensing box 310 can also support the detergent dissolving box 320, so as to improve the structural stability of the detergent dissolving box 320.

[0090] That is, during the treatment of the clothes by the clothes treatment drum 200, the water in the external water source is first introduced into the second liquid inlet 325 through the second liquid inlet pipe 700, and the second liquid inlet 325 is used to convey the water in the second liquid inlet pipe 700 to the dissolving cavity 321. The water in the dissolving cavity 321 flows towards the direction of the second liquid outlet 326 through the second liquid inlet 325, and then flows into the dispensing component 400 through the second liquid outlet 326, and then the water is conveyed to the water inlet 211 of the clothes treatment drum 200 through the dispensing component 400, so as to achieve the purpose of conveying water to the clothes treatment drum 200, and facilitate the wetting of the clothes in the clothes treatment drum 200, and improve the quality of clothes washing.

[0091] In summary, the detergent dissolving box 320 of the present application has two separate liquid inlet ports (the first liquid inlet port 323 and the second liquid inlet port 325) and two separate liquid outlet ports (the first liquid outlet port 324 and the second liquid outlet port 326), and the first liquid inlet port 323 and the first liquid outlet port 324 are in communication with the cleaning cavity 322, and the second liquid inlet port 325 and the second liquid outlet port 326 are in communication with the dissolving cavity 321, so that when water is delivered to the cleaning cavity 322 or the dissolving cavity 321, water can be delivered to the cleaning cavity 322 or the dissolving cavity 321 separately, and it is not necessary to deliver water to the cleaning cavity 322 and the dissolving cavity 321 simultaneously. That is, when the laundry treatment device 1000 is processing laundry or cleaning the detergent dispensing cavity 311, the processing process and the cleaning process can be performed separately, and it is not necessary to perform the processing process and the cleaning process simultaneously, thereby improving the flexibility of the laundry treatment device 1000.

[0092] In addition, based on the above features, two separate cavities (the dissolving cavity 321 and the cleaning cavity 322) can be formed in the detergent dissolving box 320, so that water in the cleaning cavity 322 cannot flow into the dissolving cavity 321, thereby ensuring that sufficient water flows into the laundry treatment drum 200 and the detergent dispensing cavity 311, improving the cleaning quality, and also avoiding water in the dissolving cavity 321 from flowing into the cleaning cavity 322, so that, in addition to ensuring that sufficient water flows into the laundry treatment drum 200 to clean the laundry, the detergent in the dissolving cavity 321 cannot flow into the cleaning cavity 322, thereby improving the cleanliness of the water in the cleaning cavity 322, to further improve the cleaning quality.

[0093] Optionally, at least a portion of the cleaning cavity 322 is located on the front side of the dissolving cavity 321, and the second liquid outlet port 326 is located on the rear side of the dissolving cavity 321. The second liquid outlet port 326 on the dissolving cavity 321 needs to be connected to the water inlet port 211 through the dispensing member 400. Such an arrangement allows the dissolving cavity 321 to be located close to the water inlet port 211, facilitating the connection of the dissolving cavity 321 to the water inlet port 211, and also shortening the length of the dispensing member 400, saving the cost of the dispensing member 400 and making the layout of the dispensing member 400 simpler and more convenient.

[0094] Optionally, the connection position of the spray pipe 500 to the detergent dissolving box 320 is located on the front side of the cleaning cavity 322. Since the spray pipe 500 needs to be connected to the door seal of the laundry treatment device 1000, i.e., to the front side of the laundry treatment device 1000, such an arrangement shortens the length of the spray pipe 500, saves the cost of the spray pipe 500 and makes the layout of the spray pipe 500 simpler and more convenient, and also avoids the problem of intersection between the spray pipe 500 and the dispensing member 400, making the layout of the components in the laundry treatment device 1000 more reasonable.

[0095] Optionally, as Figure 5As shown, the bottom wall of the dissolving cavity 321 is provided with at least one delivery opening 3211, which is used to realize the communication between the dissolving cavity 321 and the detergent dispensing cavity 311, and to ensure that the detergent in the detergent dispensing cavity 311 can enter the dissolving cavity 321 through the delivery opening 3211. Thus, the purpose of conveying the detergent into the dissolving cavity 321 is achieved.

[0096] It should be noted that the detergent is conveyed into the dissolving cavity 321, so that the water entering the dissolving cavity 321 from the second liquid inlet 325 can dissolve the detergent, and the dissolved detergent is conveyed to the laundry treatment drum 200, achieving the purpose of automatically conveying the detergent to the laundry treatment drum 200, and improving the cleaning quality of the laundry treatment device 1000.

[0097] Optionally, as shown, Figure 5 The delivery opening 3211 includes a plurality of delivery openings 3211 arranged in the length direction of the dissolving cavity 321. The plurality of dissolving cavities 321 cooperate to ensure that the detergent in the detergent dispensing cavity 311 can flow into the dissolving cavity 321 in a large amount and quickly, thereby improving the conveying efficiency of the detergent.

[0098] Optionally, the delivery opening 3211 is formed between the second liquid inlet 325 and the second liquid outlet 326. In this way, the water entering the detergent dissolving box 320 from the second liquid inlet 325 flows towards the second liquid outlet 326, and the detergent entering the dissolving cavity 321 from the delivery opening 3211 is driven to flow towards the second liquid outlet 326 together with the water, and then flows into the laundry treatment cavity through the delivery component 400, so as to clean and treat the laundry in the laundry treatment cavity, thereby improving the cleanliness of the laundry treatment.

[0099] Optionally, as shown, Figure 2 The detergent delivery assembly 300 further includes a delivery pump 330, which is used to convey the detergent in the detergent dispensing cavity 311 into the dissolving cavity 321 through the delivery opening 3211. Thus, the automatic delivery of the detergent is realized, so that the water entering the detergent dissolving box 320 from the second liquid inlet 325 can dissolve the detergent in the dissolving cavity 321, and then be conveyed to the laundry treatment cavity of the laundry treatment drum 200.

[0100] In a specific example, when the delivery pump 330 is started, the selected detergent is pumped from the corresponding detergent dispensing cavity 311 into the dissolving cavity 321 by suction of the delivery pump 330. Then, the external water source enters the dissolving cavity 321 through the second liquid inlet 325, and dissolves the detergent in the dissolving cavity 321. The dissolved detergent flows towards the delivery component 400 through the second liquid outlet 326.

[0101] Optionally, the dosing pump 330 has an inlet joint and an outlet joint, the inlet joint of the dosing pump 330 is connected with the detergent box 340 to cooperate with the detergent dispensing box 310, and the outlet joint of the dosing pump 330 communicates with the dosing opening 3211. Through the cooperation between the inlet joint and the outlet joint of the dosing pump 330, the detergent in the detergent dispensing box 310 can be drawn into the dosing opening 3211 to achieve the purpose of conveying the detergent towards the dosing opening 3211, thereby facilitating subsequent conveying towards the laundry treatment cavity of the laundry treatment drum 200.

[0102] Optionally, the cleaning opening 3221 is higher than the cooperation position of the inlet joint of the dosing pump 330 and the detergent dispensing box 310. Because the cooperation position of the inlet joint of the dosing pump 330 and the detergent dispensing box 310 is prone to detergent residues during the movement of the detergent dispensing box 310 relative to the detergent box 340, the cleaning opening 3221 is higher than the cooperation position of the inlet joint of the dosing pump 330 and the detergent dispensing box 310, which facilitates cleaning at this position through the cleaning opening 3221 and improves the cleaning quality.

[0103] In some examples, the cleaning opening 3221 is arranged higher than and directly opposite to the cooperation position of the inlet joint of the dosing pump 330 and the detergent dispensing box 310, ensuring that the water directed from the cleaning opening 3221 can directly act on the cooperation position of the inlet joint of the dosing pump 330 and the detergent dispensing box 310, further improving the cleaning quality.

[0104] Optionally, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The dosing member 400 includes a first water inlet pipe 410, a second water inlet pipe 420, and an adapter 430, and the first water inlet pipe 410 is arranged close to the second liquid outlet 326. The first water inlet pipe 410 is used to direct the water at the second liquid outlet 326 and ensure that the water directed from the second liquid outlet 326 can smoothly flow into the first water inlet pipe 410, and the first water inlet pipe 410 is used to convey the water directed from the second liquid outlet 326, ensuring that the directed water can move in a predetermined direction.

[0105] Optionally, at least a portion of the first water inlet pipe 410 forms a multi-bend pipe section to adaptively adjust with the movement of the laundry treatment drum 200. It can also be understood that the portion of the dosing member 400 close to the second liquid outlet 326 can adaptively adjust with the movement of the laundry treatment drum 200.

[0106] It should be noted that by forming at least a part of the first water inlet pipe 410 close to the second liquid outlet 326 into a multi-bend pipe section, it is ensured that the first water inlet pipe 410 can have sufficient length to meet the dynamic movement of the dispensing component 400, so that when the laundry treatment drum 200 shakes during the process of treating the laundry, at least a part of the first water inlet pipe 410 can be adaptively adjusted with the activity of the laundry treatment drum 200, avoiding the damage to the first water inlet pipe 410 caused by the pulling of the first water inlet pipe 410 when the laundry treatment drum 200 is active, thereby effectively avoiding the phenomenon that the dispensing component 400 leaks when the laundry treatment drum 200 is active, prolonging the service life of the dispensing component 400 and improving the user experience.

[0107] It should be further noted that the multi-bend pipe section here mainly ensures that the first water inlet pipe 410 can have sufficient length to meet the dynamic movement of the first water inlet pipe 410, so that the first water inlet pipe 410 can be adaptively adjusted with the activity of the laundry treatment drum 200. In specific examples, the multi-bend pipe section can be similar to forming an "S" shape.

[0108] It can be understood that compared with the prior art, the laundry treatment device 1000 of the present application sets at least a part of the first water inlet pipe 410 into a multi-bend pipe section, ensuring that the dispensing component 400 can be adaptively adjusted with the activity of the laundry treatment drum 200, meeting the dynamic movement of the dispensing component 400, avoiding damage to the dispensing component 400 when the laundry treatment drum 200 is active, and prolonging the service life of the dispensing component 400.

[0109] As can be seen from the above, by setting at least a part of the first water inlet pipe 410 close to the second liquid outlet 326 in the dispensing component 400 into a multi-bend pipe section, the laundry treatment drum 200 can effectively avoid damaging the first water inlet pipe 410, so that in other examples, other dispensing components 400 away from the second liquid outlet 326 can be fixedly arranged to avoid mutual wear and tear when all the dispensing components 400 are active and contact other structural components, and also avoid the phenomenon that the laundry treatment device 1000 produces abnormal noise when all the dispensing components 400 are active, further improving the user experience.

[0110] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 One end of the second water inlet pipe 420 is connected to the water inlet 211, and the other end of the second water inlet pipe 420 is connected to the first water inlet pipe 410. The second water inlet pipe 420 is mainly used to realize the communication between the water inlet 211 and the first water inlet pipe 410, ensuring that the water in the first water inlet pipe 410 can smoothly enter the water inlet 211, thereby achieving the purpose of conveying water towards the laundry treatment cavity, facilitating the cleaning and treatment of the laundry in the laundry treatment device 1000.

[0111] In conclusion, the laundry treatment device 1000 of the present application, when conveying water into the laundry treatment cavity, the flow path of the water is: the external water source enters the detergent dispensing assembly 300, the water in the detergent dispensing assembly 300 flows out through the second liquid outlet 326, and then flows to the water inlet 211 through the first water inlet pipe 410 and the second water inlet pipe 420 in turn. Since the water inlet 211 is in communication with the laundry treatment cavity, the water at the water inlet 211 can enter the laundry treatment cavity and wet the laundry in the laundry treatment cavity, thereby facilitating the treatment of the laundry in the laundry treatment cavity.

[0112] Optionally, the adapter 430 is fixed to the bottom wall of the laundry treatment drum 200, and the adapter 430 is connected between the first water inlet pipe 410 and the second water inlet pipe 420 to communicate them. It ensures that the water in the first water inlet pipe 410 can flow smoothly into the second water inlet pipe 420.

[0113] It should be noted that the present application provides the adapter 430 fixed to the bottom wall of the laundry treatment drum 200. The adapter 430 not only realizes the communication between the first water inlet pipe 410 and the second water inlet pipe 420, but also realizes the fixed connection of the end of the first water inlet pipe 410 close to the second water inlet pipe 420 and the end of the second water inlet pipe 420 close to the first water inlet pipe 410 on the bottom wall of the laundry treatment drum 200. It ensures that the second water inlet pipe 420 does not move synchronously when the laundry treatment drum 200 moves, thereby avoiding the abnormal noise of the laundry treatment device 1000 when treating the laundry and avoiding the mutual friction between the second water inlet pipe 420 and the nearby first liquid inlet pipe 600 and second liquid inlet pipe 700. At the same time, it also realizes the fixation of the first water inlet pipe 410, which ensures that the first water inlet pipe 410 only follows the adaptive adjustment of the laundry treatment drum 200 when the laundry treatment drum 200 moves, but the relative position does not change, further avoiding the abnormal noise of the laundry treatment device 1000 when treating the laundry and improving the user experience.

[0114] In other examples, the adapter 430 is not limited to being fixed to the bottom wall of the laundry treatment drum 200, but can also be fixed to the side wall of the laundry treatment drum 200. Since the first water inlet pipe 410 is located on one side of the side wall of the laundry treatment drum 200, fixing the adapter 430 to the side wall of the laundry treatment drum 200 only needs to adapt the length of the second water inlet pipe 420 to realize the communication between the first water inlet pipe 410 and the second water inlet pipe 420.

[0115] That is, the present application does not limit the specific fixed position of the adapter 430, as long as it can realize the communication between the first water inlet pipe 410 and the second water inlet pipe 420.

[0116] Optionally, as Figure 2As shown, the first water inlet pipe 410 includes a first pipe section 411 and a second pipe section 412, one end of the first pipe section 411 is communicated with the second liquid outlet 326, and the other end of the first pipe section 411 is communicated with the second pipe section 412. It can also be understood that the first pipe section 411 is used to realize the communication between the second liquid outlet 326 and the second pipe section 412, so as to realize the introduction of water in the second liquid outlet 326 into the second pipe section 412, and achieve the purpose of conveying water, which is convenient for subsequent conveying water into the clothes treatment cavity.

[0117] Optionally, the first pipe section 411 forms a straight pipe section, and the second pipe section 412 forms a multi-bend pipe section. It can also be understood that the adaptive adjustment of the first water inlet pipe 410 is mainly realized by the second pipe section 412. During the movement of the clothes treatment drum 200, the second pipe section 412 of the first water inlet pipe 410 can be adaptively adjusted with the movement of the clothes treatment drum 200, so as to realize the dynamic movement of the first water inlet pipe 410 and avoid damage to the dropping component 400 caused by the movement of the clothes treatment drum 200.

[0118] It should be noted that by setting the first pipe section 411 of the first water inlet pipe 410 as a straight pipe section, it can also be understood that the first pipe section 411 will not be adaptively adjusted when the clothes treatment drum 200 moves, that is, the structure of the first pipe section 411 is relatively fixed, so as to avoid the mutual friction between the first pipe section 411 and the surrounding structural members during the movement of the first pipe section 411, especially to avoid the relative friction between the first pipe section 411 and the surrounding first liquid inlet pipe 600 and second liquid inlet pipe 700, thereby prolonging the service life of the first pipe section 411, the first liquid inlet pipe 600 and the second liquid inlet pipe 700.

[0119] Optionally, the second pipe section 412 is formed as a bellows pipe. The bellows pipe can automatically adaptively adjust when subjected to external force, thereby avoiding the damage of the moving clothes treatment drum 200 to the dropping component 400. Specifically, the second pipe section 412 formed as a bellows pipe can be lengthened or shortened with the movement of the clothes treatment drum 200, so that the second pipe section 412 can be adaptively adjusted with the movement of the clothes treatment drum 200 when the clothes treatment drum 200 moves, thereby avoiding damage to the dropping component 400 caused by the movement of the clothes treatment drum 200, and prolonging the service life of the dropping component 400.

[0120] Of course, in some other embodiments, the second pipe section 412 can also not be formed as a bellows pipe, as long as it has sufficient length. The second pipe section 412 with sufficient length can also realize the adaptive adjustment of the second pipe section 412 with the movement of the clothes treatment drum 200.

[0121] Optionally, the second tube section 412 is made of an elastic material. This ensures that the second tube section 412 can deform smoothly under external force, and can return to its original size and shape after the external force is removed. In other words, it ensures that the second tube section 412 can adaptively adjust with the movement of the clothing treatment drum 200.

[0122] In a specific example, the second pipe section 412 can be formed as a corrugated pipe and made of an elastic material.

[0123] Of course, in other examples, the second pipe section 412 may also be formed as a corrugated pipe, or the second pipe section 412 may be made of an elastic material. That is to say, the second pipe section 412 may also be formed as either a corrugated pipe or an elastic material pipe.

[0124] Optionally, the elastic material mentioned above can be one of elastic materials such as rubber or silicone, that is, the second pipe section 412 can be formed as one of rubber pipe or silicone pipe.

[0125] It should be noted that when the second pipe section 412 is made of elastic material, the second pipe section 412 made of elastic material can extend or shorten on its own. In this way, the second pipe section 412 does not need to form a multi-bend pipe section. That is, the second pipe section 412 does not need to be set to an excessively long length, thereby reducing the production cost of the dispensing component 400 and also avoiding the dispensing component 400 occupying too much space in the clothing handling device 1000.

[0126] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the garment processing device 1000 also includes a housing 100, within which the garment processing cylinder 200 is housed. The housing 100 serves two purposes: firstly, it supports the garment processing cylinder 200, improving its structural stability; secondly, it protects the garment processing cylinder 200 from damage by external objects, thus extending its service life. Furthermore, the housing 100 conceals the garment processing cylinder 200, enhancing the aesthetics of the garment processing device 1000.

[0127] Optionally, the other end of the first pipe section 411 is fixedly connected to the cabinet 100. Here, one end of the first pipe section 411 is communicated with the second liquid outlet 326, the other end of the first pipe section 411 is communicated with the second pipe section 412, and the one end of the first pipe section 411 communicated with the second pipe section 412 is fixedly connected to the cabinet 100. Since the position of the second liquid outlet 326 is fixed, such arrangement can effectively fix the two ends of the first pipe section 411 to improve the position stability of the first pipe section 411, so as to avoid that the laundry treatment device 1000 produces abnormal sound when treating laundry due to the activity of the first pipe section 411, and also can avoid that the first pipe section 411 rubs against the adjacent first liquid inlet pipe 600 and second liquid inlet pipe 700.

[0128] In summary, during the activity of the laundry treatment drum 200, only part of the dispensing component 400 is activated, that is, only the second pipe section 412 is activated, and the other part of the dispensing component 400 will not be activated with the activity of the laundry treatment drum 200. Such arrangement can avoid that the laundry treatment device 1000 produces abnormal sound when treating laundry due to the activity of the first pipe section 411, and also can avoid that the first pipe section 411 rubs against the first liquid inlet pipe 600 and second liquid inlet pipe 700, thereby avoiding damage and water leakage of the first pipe section 411, first liquid inlet pipe 600 and second liquid inlet pipe 700.

[0129] That is to say, by arranging the second pipe section 412 in the form of a multi-bend pipe section and the first pipe section 411 in the form of a straight pipe section and fixing the two ends of the first pipe section 411, the dispensing component 400 can be dynamically activated and securely fixed at the same time, thereby avoiding abnormal sound of the laundry treatment device 1000 and friction between the dispensing component 400 and other structural components, and improving user experience.

[0130] Optionally, a fixing member is arranged on the other end of the first pipe section 411 and fixedly connected to the cabinet 100, so as to fix the other end of the first pipe section 411 to the cabinet 100. Here, the fixing connection between the fixing member and the cabinet 100 can be one of bolt connection, clamping or welding.

[0131] Of course, in other examples, the first pipe section 411 can also be fixedly connected to the cabinet 100 by wire lashing.

[0132] Optionally, the detergent dispensing assembly 300 is arranged on the cabinet 100, and the cabinet 100 is used to support the detergent dispensing assembly 300 to improve the structural stability of the detergent dispensing assembly 300.

[0133] Of course, in other examples, the detergent dispensing assembly 300 can also be mounted on the laundry treatment drum 200, mainly using the laundry treatment drum 200 to support the detergent dispensing assembly 300, and also improve the structural stability of the detergent dispensing assembly 300.

[0134] Optionally, the first water inlet pipe 410 is located at one side of the side wall of the laundry treatment drum 200. The first water inlet pipe 410 is adapted to the position of the detergent dispensing assembly 300, and ensures that the first water inlet pipe 410 can communicate with the second liquid outlet 326.

[0135] Optionally, the water inlet 211 is arranged on the bottom wall of the laundry treatment drum 200, and the second water inlet pipe 420 is arranged on the bottom wall of the laundry treatment drum 200. The second water inlet pipe 420 is adapted to the position of the water inlet 211, and ensures that the second water inlet pipe 420 can communicate with the water inlet 211. In this way, when the second water inlet pipe 420 communicates with the first water inlet pipe 410, the communication between the second liquid outlet 326 and the water inlet 211 can be realized, so that the water at the second liquid outlet 326 can be guided into the water inlet 211.

[0136] It should be noted that, by arranging the first water inlet pipe 410 at one side of the side wall of the laundry treatment drum 200 and arranging the second water inlet pipe 420 on the bottom wall of the laundry treatment drum 200, the part of the structure of the second water inlet pipe 420 can be arranged away from the first water inlet pipe 410, so as to avoid the first water inlet pipe 410 contacting the second water inlet pipe 420 when the first water inlet pipe 410 is moving, that is, to avoid the first water inlet pipe 410 and the second water inlet pipe 420 rubbing against each other when the first water inlet pipe 410 is moving, thereby prolonging the service life of the first water inlet pipe 410 and the second water inlet pipe 420.

[0137] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 , the bottom wall of the laundry treatment drum 200 forms a limiting groove 212 on the outside, and the second water inlet pipe 420 is limited in the limiting groove 212. The limiting groove 212 can limit the position of the second water inlet pipe 420, improve the position stability of the second water inlet pipe 420, and prevent the second water inlet pipe 420 from moving synchronously with the laundry treatment drum 200, so as to avoid the second water inlet pipe 420 shaking with the laundry treatment drum 200, thereby avoiding the second water inlet pipe 420 rubbing against the first liquid inlet pipe 600 and the second liquid inlet pipe 700 nearby, and prolonging the service life of the second water inlet pipe 420.

[0138] In addition, by arranging the limiting groove 212, during the installation of the second water inlet pipe 420, the installer can quickly position the installation position of the second water inlet pipe 420 through the limiting groove 212, so as to reduce the installation difficulty of the second water inlet pipe 420 and improve the installation efficiency.

[0139] Optionally, the bottom wall of the garment processing drum 200 is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs to increase the structural strength of the garment processing drum 200, prevent deformation after prolonged use, and thus extend the service life of the garment processing drum 200. Specifically, adjacent reinforcing ribs can be spaced apart to form a limiting groove 212. This eliminates the need to separately create a limiting groove 212 on the outer side of the bottom wall of the garment processing drum 200, ensuring sufficient structural strength while simplifying the structure and reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the garment processing drum 200.

[0140] Optionally, the first water inlet pipe 410 and the second water inlet pipe 420 are respectively sleeved on both ends of the adapter 430. This achieves a fixed connection between the first water inlet pipe 410 and the adapter 430, and a fixed connection between the second water inlet pipe 420 and the adapter 430, so that the water in the first water inlet pipe 410 can flow smoothly into the adapter 430, and correspondingly, the water flowing into the adapter 430 can also flow smoothly into the second water inlet pipe 420.

[0141] Optionally, sealing elements are provided at the connection between the first water inlet pipe 410 and the adapter 430, and at the connection between the second water inlet pipe 420 and the adapter 430, respectively. This ensures the sealing performance of the first water inlet pipe 410 and the adapter 430, as well as the second water inlet pipe 420 and the adapter 430, and ensures that water does not overflow towards the adapter 430 or the second water inlet pipe 420 during the transportation process. This improves the water transportation efficiency and avoids the waste of water resources.

[0142] Optionally, the adapter 430 has a hollow structure to guide the flow of water, ensuring that the water in the first inlet pipe 410 can flow smoothly through the adapter 430 into the second inlet pipe 420.

[0143] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the outer surface of the adapter 430 is provided with a fixing lug 431, and the adapter 430 is fixed to the garment processing tube 200 by fasteners passing through the fixing lug 431. This achieves a fixed connection between the adapter 430 and the garment processing tube 200 and improves the structural stability of the adapter 430.

[0144] Optionally, the fixing lug 431 is provided with a connecting through hole, through which a fastener passes and is fixedly connected to the garment processing tube 200, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the adapter 430 and the garment processing tube 200. The fastener mentioned here can be one of the following: bolts, screws, or other connecting components.

[0145] Optionally, the outer surface of the adapter 430 is provided with a plurality of fixing lugs 431. The plurality of fixing lugs 431 cooperate with each other to increase the contact area between the adapter 430 and the clothing processing drum 200, thereby improving the connection reliability between the adapter 430 and the clothing processing drum 200, so that the adapter 430 can be stably installed on the clothing processing drum 200.

[0146] In summary, this application configures the dispensing component 400 to consist of three structural components: a first water inlet pipe 410, a second water inlet pipe 420, and an adapter 430. This configuration addresses two issues: firstly, because the dispensing component 400 is relatively long, a one-piece structure would require developing a large mold, leading to higher production costs; secondly, a one-piece structure would make it difficult to secure some water pipes, potentially causing noise during operation of the clothing processing device 1000. Therefore, this application configures the dispensing component 400 as three separate structural components (the first water inlet pipe 410, the second water inlet pipe 420, and the adapter 430), reducing production costs and preventing noise during operation, thus improving the user experience.

[0147] Of course, in other examples, the first water inlet pipe 410 and the second water inlet pipe 420 can also be manufactured using a one-piece molding process. This arrangement eliminates the need for an adapter 430, reduces the manufacturing cost of the delivery component 400, and also reduces the assembly difficulty of the first water inlet pipe 410 and the second water inlet pipe 420. Furthermore, the one-piece molding of the first water inlet pipe 410 and the second water inlet pipe 420 prevents water from overflowing from the connection point, resulting in better sealing performance.

[0148] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the detergent dispensing box 310 extends along the front-to-back direction. Here, the front-to-back direction refers to the front-to-back direction of the garment handling device 1000. Extending the detergent dispensing box 310 along the front-to-back direction of the garment handling device 1000 makes it convenient for users to pull out the detergent dispensing cavity 311 inside the detergent dispensing box 310, which means it is convenient for users to dispense detergent into the detergent dispensing cavity 311, thereby improving the user experience.

[0149] Optionally, such as Figure 2As shown, the detergent dissolving box 320 is located at the top of the rear end of the detergent dispensing box 310. Since the user needs to pull the detergent dispensing box 310 towards the front of the garment handling device 1000 during detergent dispensing, the detergent dissolving box 320 is positioned behind the detergent dispensing box 310 to ensure that it does not obstruct the extraction of the detergent dispensing box 310, thus allowing for smooth extraction. Furthermore, the placement of the detergent dissolving box 320 behind the detergent dispensing box 310 allows it to be positioned close to the water inlet 211, facilitating water path layout and reducing water path length.

[0150] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the dispensing pump 330 is also located at the rear end of the detergent dispensing box 310.

[0151] Optionally, combined Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, both the dissolving chamber 321 and the cleaning chamber 322 extend along the width direction of the detergent dispensing box 310. This facilitates the formation of a second liquid inlet 325 and a second liquid outlet 326 spaced apart on both sides of the dissolving chamber 321, and also facilitates the formation of a first liquid inlet 323 and a first liquid outlet 324 spaced apart on both sides of the cleaning chamber 322.

[0152] Optionally, the dissolving chamber 321 is located behind the cleaning chamber 322. This ensures that the dissolving chamber 321 is positioned close to the water inlet 211, facilitating communication between the dissolving chamber 321 and the water inlet 211 via the dispensing component 400.

[0153] Optionally, at least a portion of the cleaning chamber 322 extends rearward to a position flush with the rear of the dissolving chamber 321. Since the first liquid inlet 323 is formed on the rear side of the detergent dissolving box 320, extending at least a portion of the cleaning chamber 322 rearward ensures that the cleaning chamber 322 can communicate with the first liquid inlet 323, thereby ensuring that water from an external water source can flow into the cleaning chamber 322 through the first liquid inlet 323, achieving the purpose of delivering water towards the cleaning chamber 322.
