[0045] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings, which show by way of example, embodiments in which the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions are denoted by the same reference signs, and which are intended to explain the present application, not to limit the present application.
[0046] The dispensing device 100 according to some embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0047] As shown in Figures 1-6 The dispensing device 100 according to some embodiments of the present application comprises a dispensing shell 10 and a sterilization assembly 20, the dispensing shell 10 defines a water inlet cavity 1230 and a dispensing cavity 130, the water inlet cavity 1230 and the dispensing cavity 130 are in communication with each other, the dispensing cavity 130 can be used for dispensing detergent, and the sterilization assembly 20 is arranged in the water inlet cavity 1230.
[0048] In operation, the water inlet valve is opened, water flows to the water inlet cavity 1230 of the dispensing device 100, and the water entering the water inlet cavity 1230 can impact the sterilization assembly 20, so that the water has a sterilization function. The water flow with sterilization function flows out of the water inlet cavity 1230 and enters the dispensing cavity 130, and can be mixed with the detergent in the dispensing cavity 130, so as to make the water have sterilization, washing and other functions for washing use.
[0049] The dispensing device 100 according to some embodiments of the present application can form a sterilization water flow by arranging the sterilization assembly 20 in the water inlet cavity 1230, and the sterilization water flow is mixed with the detergent, that is, the release of sterilization material and the dilution and mixing of the detergent are realized by one water inlet. The structure is simple and the cost is low. Not only can it effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria, but also can remove stains and ensure cleaning degree. Compared with related technologies, the complex water inlet pipeline structure is avoided, and the space in the dispensing shell 10 is effectively utilized.
[0050] As shown in Figures 5-9 According to some embodiments of the present application, the dispensing shell 10 defines a water inlet flow channel 101, the water inlet flow channel 101 communicates the water inlet 111 and the water inlet cavity 1230, and water can flow from the water inlet 111 through the water inlet flow channel 101, thereby entering the water inlet cavity 1230 to mix with the sterilization assembly 20. The water inlet 111 can be directly connected with the water inlet valve, so as to supply water to the water inlet cavity 1230. The water inlet 111 can also be connected with the water inlet valve through a pipeline.
[0051] Therefore, by arranging the water inlet flow channel 101 on the dispensing shell 10, the water inlet cavity 1230 and the water inlet 111 can be conveniently communicated, and the shape and structure of the water inlet flow channel 101 can be designed according to needs, so as to have a wide range of applications.
[0052] Further, the dispensing shell 10 further defines a water outlet channel 102, which communicates the water inlet cavity 1230 and the dispensing cavity 130. The water in the water inlet cavity 1230 flows into the water passing cavity 2101 from the plurality of water passing holes 2102, and is fully mixed with the sterilization particles 22, so that the water has sterilization and bacteriostatic functions. Then, the water with the sterilization and bacteriostatic functions can flow from the plurality of water passing holes 2102 to the water inlet cavity 1230, and then flows into the dispensing cavity 130 through the water outlet channel 102 to mix with the detergent for washing.
[0053] Thus, by arranging the water outlet channel 102 on the dispensing shell 10, the water inlet cavity 1230 can be conveniently communicated with the dispensing cavity 130, and the shape and structure of the water outlet channel 102 can be designed as required, which has a wide range of applications.
[0054] As shown in the figures, Figure 5 In some embodiments, the dispensing shell 10 further defines a distribution cavity 103, and the water outlet channel 102 and the dispensing cavity 130 are communicated through the distribution cavity 103, wherein the distribution cavity 103 is located above the dispensing cavity 130, and the bottom wall of the distribution cavity 103 is provided with a plurality of spray holes 1221, which communicate the distribution cavity 103 and the dispensing cavity 130.
[0055] Specifically, the water with sterilization function in the water inlet cavity 1230 can flow into the distribution cavity 103 through the water outlet channel 102. Since the distribution cavity 103 is located above the dispensing cavity 130, the water in the distribution cavity 103 can flow downward to the dispensing cavity 130 through the spray holes 1221, so as to mix with the detergent in the dispensing cavity 130 for washing.
[0056] By arranging the distribution cavity 103 above the dispensing cavity 130, the water with sterilization function can be drained into the specified dispensing cavity 130 to mix with the detergent in the specified dispensing cavity 130, which has a simple structure and low cost.
[0057] In some specific embodiments, the number of the distribution cavities 103 and the dispensing cavities 130 is equal and one-to-one corresponding.

Correspondingly, the dispensing chamber 130 includes a first dispensing chamber 130 located on the left and a second distribution chamber 103 located on the right. The first distribution chamber 103 is located directly above the first dispensing chamber 130, and the second distribution chamber 103 is located directly above the second dispensing chamber 130. Water in the inlet chamber 1230 can enter the first distribution chamber 103 through the outlet channel 102, and then flow downwards into the first dispensing chamber 130 through multiple spray holes 1221 on the bottom wall of the first distribution chamber 103. Alternatively, water can enter the second distribution chamber 103 through the outlet channel 102, and then flow downwards into the second dispensing chamber 130 through multiple spray holes 1221 on the bottom wall of the second distribution chamber 103.
[0060] Of course, the number of distribution cavities 103 and delivery cavities 130 can also be multiple (three or more). The layout of multiple distribution cavities 103 and multiple delivery cavities 130 can be designed according to specific circumstances, which will not be elaborated here.

[0091] That is, the first waterway plate 121 itself forms a bending structure, and by arranging the first waterway plate 121 in the above structure, the size of the first waterway plate 121 in the longitudinal direction can be reduced, the structure of the dispensing device 100 is more compact, and the layout of the waterway is facilitated to meet the design requirements.
[0092] The side plate 1211 and the top plate 1212 can be respectively provided with water inlet grooves and water outlet grooves. The water inlet grooves and the water outlet grooves on the side plate 1211 can be covered by the top wall of the shell 11 to define a part of the water inlet flow channel 101 and a part of the water outlet flow channel 102. The water inlet grooves and the water outlet grooves on the top plate 1212 can be covered by the side wall of the shell 11 to define another part of the water inlet flow channel 101 and another part of the water outlet flow channel 102.
[0093] Specifically, the water inlet grooves include a first water inlet groove and a second water inlet groove, which are in communication with each other. The first water inlet groove is formed on the side of the side plate 1211 away from the top plate 1212 (for example, the back side of the side plate 1211 in the embodiment), and the second water inlet groove is formed on the side of the top plate 1212 away from the side plate 1211 (for example, the upper side of the top plate 1212 in the embodiment), so that the first water inlet groove and the second water inlet groove form a stepped structure. This not only reduces the occupied space of the water inlet grooves and makes the structure more compact, but also facilitates the zoning design of the waterway. Figure 7 The first water inlet groove is formed on the side of the side plate 1211 away from the top plate 1212 (for example, the back side of the side plate 1211 in the embodiment), and the second water inlet groove is formed on the side of the top plate 1212 away from the side plate 1211 (for example, the upper side of the top plate 1212 in the embodiment), so that the first water inlet groove and the second water inlet groove form a stepped structure. This not only reduces the occupied space of the water inlet grooves and makes the structure more compact, but also facilitates the zoning design of the waterway.
[0094] As shown in FIG. 1, in the embodiment, the first water inlet groove extends in the vertical direction (i.e., the up-down direction as shown in FIG. 1), and the second water inlet groove extends in the horizontal direction (i.e., the left-right direction as shown in FIG. 1). One end of the second water inlet groove is in communication with the upper end of the first water inlet groove. The first water inlet groove can be covered by the side wall of the shell 11 to define the first water inlet flow channel 1011, and the second water inlet groove can be covered by the top wall of the shell 11 to define the second water inlet flow channel 1012. Figure 7 Figure 7 Similarly, the water outlet grooves include a first water outlet groove and a second water outlet groove, which are in communication with each other. The first water outlet groove is formed on the side of the top plate 1212 away from the side plate 1211 (for example, the upper side of the top plate 1212 in the embodiment), and the second water outlet groove is formed on the side of the side plate 1211 away from the top plate 1212 (for example, the back side of the side plate 1211 in the embodiment), so that the first water outlet groove and the second water outlet groove form a stepped structure. This not only reduces the occupied space of the water outlet grooves and makes the structure more compact, but also facilitates the zoning design of the waterway. Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 1, in the embodiment, the first water outlet groove extends in the vertical direction (i.e., the up-down direction as shown in FIG. 1), and the second water outlet groove extends in the horizontal direction (i.e., the left-right direction as shown in FIG. 1). One end of the second water outlet groove is in communication with the upper end of the first water outlet groove. The first water outlet groove can be covered by the side wall of the shell 11 to define the first water outlet flow channel 1011, and the second water outlet groove can be covered by the top wall of the shell 11 to define the second water outlet flow channel 1012.
[0095] Figure 7 Similarly, the water outlet grooves include a first water outlet groove and a second water outlet groove, which are in communication with each other. The first water outlet groove is formed on the side of the top plate 1212 away from the side plate 1211 (for example, the upper side of the top plate 1212 in the embodiment), and the second water outlet groove is formed on the side of the side plate 1211 away from the top plate 1212 (for example, the back side of the side plate 1211 in the embodiment), so that the first water outlet groove and the second water outlet groove form a stepped structure. This not only reduces the occupied space of the water outlet grooves and makes the structure more compact, but also facilitates the zoning design of the waterway.
[0096] As shown in FIG. 1, in the embodiment, the first water outlet groove extends in the vertical direction (i.e., the up-down direction as shown in FIG. 1), and the second water outlet groove extends in the horizontal direction (i.e., the left-right direction as shown in FIG. 1). One end of the second water outlet groove is in communication with the upper end of the first water outlet groove. The first water outlet groove can be covered by the side wall of the shell 11 to define the first water outlet flow channel 1011, and the second water outlet groove can be covered by the top wall of the shell 11 to define the second water outlet flow channel 1012. Figure 7 As shown, in the present embodiment, the first water outlet groove extends in the longitudinal direction, the second water outlet groove extends in the vertical direction, the upper end of the second water outlet groove is communicated with the first water outlet groove, and the first water outlet groove is communicated with the distribution groove 1222. The first water outlet groove herein can be covered by the top wall of the shell 11, thereby defining the first water flow channel 1021 mentioned above, and the second water outlet groove can be covered by the side wall of the shell 11, thereby defining the second water flow channel 1022 mentioned above.
[0097] In some embodiments, the waterway plate further comprises a second waterway plate 122, which extends in the longitudinal direction (e.g., the front-rear direction as shown) and is arranged perpendicularly to the vertical direction, and the second waterway plate 122 is connected to the upper end of the first waterway plate 121 at one end in the longitudinal direction. Figure 7
[0098] Further, the water inlet shell 123 is arranged below the second waterway plate 122, and the first waterway plate 121 and the second waterway plate 122 define a water inlet passage (e.g., the third water inlet flow channel 1013 mentioned above) therebetween, which is communicated with the water inlet groove and the water inlet cavity 1230.
[0099] In some specific embodiments, the second waterway plate 122 has a distribution groove 1222, which is communicated with the water outlet groove, and the shell 11 can also cover the distribution groove 1222, thereby defining the distribution cavity 103 mentioned above.
[0100] In some examples, the distribution groove 1222 and the first water outlet groove each comprise a plurality of grooves, and the plurality of distribution grooves 1222 and the plurality of first water outlet grooves are communicated one by one. By arranging a plurality of distribution grooves 1222 and a plurality of first water outlet grooves, water can be delivered to different positions, thereby achieving the dispensing of multiple detergents.
[0101] In some examples, a step structure is formed between the distribution groove and the first water outlet groove, which not only reduces the occupied space and makes the structure more compact, but also facilitates the zoning design of the waterway.
[0102] As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the second waterway plate 122 is arranged above the first waterway plate 121, so that the upper surface of the waterway plate is formed with a step structure, which facilitates the zoning design of the waterway and is simple in structure and convenient to form. Figure 5
[0103] In some examples, the top plate 1212 of the first waterway plate 121 includes a first plate portion 12121 and a second plate portion 12122, the first plate portion 12121 and the second plate portion 12122 are sequentially connected in the longitudinal direction, the first plate portion 12121 is located on one side of the second waterway plate 122 in the longitudinal direction, and the first plate portion 12121 defines a second water inlet groove, and the second plate portion 12122 is located below the second waterway plate 122, and the second plate portion 12122 and the second waterway plate 122 define a water inlet channel.
[0104] Therefore, by setting the top plate 1212 to the above structure and setting the second plate portion 12122 below the second waterway plate 122, a stepped structure can be formed on the upper surface of the waterway plate, which is beneficial for the layout of the waterway and has a simple structure and is easy to form.
[0105] The first waterway plate 121 and the second waterway plate 122 can be integrally formed, which can not only reduce the number of components, eliminate the connection structure between the two, simplify the processing procedure, but also ensure the structural strength of the waterway plate.
[0106] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 8 According to some embodiments of the present application, the sterilization assembly 20 is rotatably arranged in the water inlet cavity 1230, which can make the water and the sterilization assembly 20 fully contact, greatly improving the sterilization and bacteriostasis function of the water.
[0107] In some examples, the water inlet shell 123 includes a fixed shell 1231 and an end cover 1232, one end of the fixed shell 1231 is connected with the first waterway plate 121, the other end of the fixed shell 1231 is open, and the end cover 1232 is detachably arranged at the open end of the fixed shell 1231, and the end cover 1232 and the fixed shell 1231 define the water inlet cavity 1230. By setting the water inlet shell 123 to the above structure, it is convenient to take and place the sterilization assembly 20, and the water inlet shell 123 limits the position of the sterilization assembly 20, so that the sterilization assembly 20 can effectively play its sterilization function.
[0108] In some specific examples, the end cover 1232 and the fixed shell 1231 are rotationally clamped.
[0109] Specifically, the outer peripheral wall of the end cover 1232 is provided with a plurality of buckles 1235, and the plurality of buckles 1235 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral wall of the end cover 1232, and correspondingly, the position close to the open end of the inner peripheral wall of the fixed shell 1231 is provided with a plurality of clamping grooves 1236, and the plurality of clamping grooves 1236 and the plurality of buckles 1235 are one-to-one correspondingly clamped and matched, which ensures the connection reliability of the two and is more convenient to assemble and disassemble.
[0110] The size of the opening of the clamping groove 1236 in the circumferential direction of the inner circumferential wall of the fixed shell 1231 is greater than or equal to the size of the buckle 1235 in the circumferential direction of the outer circumferential wall of the end cover 1232, and the opening of the clamping groove 1236 forms a neck. When the end cover 1232 is mounted on the fixed shell 1231, the plurality of buckles 1235 on the end cover 1232 is aligned with the openings of the plurality of clamping grooves 1236 of the fixed shell 1231, and then the end cover 1232 is pushed to slide inward along the axial direction of the fixed shell 1231, and then the end cover 1232 is rotated, so that the buckle 1235 slides into the deep part of the clamping groove 1236, thereby ensuring the reliable connection between the end cover 1232 and the fixed shell 1231.
[0111] As shown in Figure 6 In some specific examples, the clamping groove 1236 includes a first groove segment 12361 extending along the circumferential direction of the inner circumferential wall of the fixed shell 1231, and a second groove segment 12362 extending along the axial direction of the inner circumferential wall of the fixed shell 1231. One end of the second groove segment 12362 forms the opening of the clamping groove 1236, and the other end of the second groove segment 12362 communicates with one end of the first groove segment 12361. When the end cover 1232 and the fixed shell 1231 are assembled in place, the buckle 1235 on the end cover 1232 is in clamping engagement with the first groove segment 12361.
[0112] In some specific examples, the two ends of the sterilization assembly 20 are rotatably connected with the end cover 1232 and the bottom wall of the fixed shell 1231 respectively, so as to ensure that the sterilization assembly 20 can rotate in the water inlet cavity 1230 under the impact of the water flow.
[0113] For example, one of the sterilization assembly 20 and the end cover 1232 has a rotating shaft, and the other has an axial hole matched with the rotating shaft. Similarly, one of the sterilization assembly 20 and the bottom wall of the fixed shell 1231 has a rotating shaft, and the other has an axial hole matched with the rotating shaft. The structure is simple, easy to assemble and disassemble, and easy to implement.
[0114] As shown in Figure 6 In this embodiment, the two ends of the sterilization assembly 20 are respectively provided with a first rotating shaft 213 and a second rotating shaft 214. Correspondingly, the position opposite to the sterilization assembly 20 of the end cover 1232 is provided with a first axial hole 1233, and the position opposite to the sterilization assembly 20 of the bottom wall of the fixed shell 1231 is provided with a second axial hole 1234. The first rotating shaft 213 is matched with the first axial hole 1233, and the second rotating shaft 214 is matched with the second axial hole 1234, thereby ensuring that the sterilization assembly 20 can rotate in the water inlet cavity 1230.
[0115] In some specific examples, the first waterway plate 121, the second waterway plate 122 and the fixing shell 1231 are integrally formed. By integrally forming the above structure, not only the number of components can be reduced, and the structure such as the connecting member is omitted, thereby simplifying the structure, but also the assembly process can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the production efficiency.
[0116] The outer peripheral wall of the sterilization assembly 20 is provided with a plurality of blades 2112, and the plurality of blades 2112 are arranged in a circumferential direction of the outer peripheral wall of the sterilization assembly 20. In operation, the water entering the water inlet cavity 1230 impacts the plurality of blades 2112, thereby driving the sterilization assembly 20 to rotate, so that the water is in full contact with the sterilization assembly 20.
[0117] As shown in Figure 6 According to some embodiments of the present application, the sterilization assembly 20 includes a shell 21 and sterilization particles 22. The shell 21 has a water passing cavity 2101 and a plurality of water passing holes 2102, the water passing holes 2102 can be connected between the water passing cavity 2101 and the water inlet cavity 1230, and the sterilization particles 22 are arranged in the water passing cavity 2101.
[0118] Specifically, the water entering the water inlet cavity 1230 can flow into the water passing cavity 2101 from the plurality of water passing holes 2102, and the water entering the water passing cavity 2101 is in full contact with the sterilization particles 22, so that the water has sterilization function. The sterilization water in the water passing cavity 2101 can also flow to the water inlet cavity 1230 from the plurality of water passing holes 2102, and then enter the dispensing cavity 130, and can be mixed with the detergent in the dispensing cavity 130 for washing.
[0119] As shown in Figure 6 In some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the shell 21 is provided with a plurality of blades 2112, and the plurality of blades 2112 are arranged in a circumferential direction of the outer peripheral wall of the shell 21. In operation, the water entering the water inlet cavity 1230 impacts the blades 2112 on the shell 21, thereby driving the shell 21 to rotate. When the shell 21 rotates, the sterilization particles 22 in the water passing cavity 2101 can be displaced and rubbed, so that the solid sterilization particles 22 are quickly released, and the sterilization particles 22 are fully mixed with the water, thereby making the water have sterilization and bacteriostatic functions.
[0120] As shown in Figure 6 In some embodiments, the wall surface of the water passing cavity 2101 is provided with a lifting rib 2111.
[0121] In some specific embodiments, the lifting ribs 2111 can include one lifting rib 2111 extending along the axial direction of the shell 21, when the shell 21 rotates, the lifting rib 2111 can lift the height of the sterilization particles 22 when moving upward, as the shell 21 continues to rotate, the sterilization particles 22 are thrown down under the action of gravity, and the impact and friction between the shell 21 are transmitted, so that the solid sterilization particles 22 are quickly released, and the sterilization particles 22 are fully mixed with water, so that the water has sterilization and bacteriostatic functions.
[0122] In other specific embodiments, the lifting ribs 2111 can include a plurality of lifting ribs 2111 arranged along the circumference of the peripheral wall of the shell 21, each lifting rib 2111 extending along the axial direction of the shell 21, by arranging a plurality of lifting ribs 2111, the plurality of lifting ribs 2111 can be used to lift the sterilization particles 22, and further accelerate the impact and friction frequency between the sterilization particles 22 and the shell 21.
[0123] In some embodiments, the shell 21 is a transparent piece. By setting the shell 21 as a transparent piece, the visibility of the sterilization function is improved, the user can not only observe the tumbling state of the sterilization particles 22 through the shell 21 to add sterilization particles 22 in time according to the needs, but also can have a direct intuitive feeling of the sterilization function, and improve the user's trust and use experience.
[0124] In some specific embodiments, the dispensing device 100 further comprises a light-emitting piece (not shown in the figure), which can irradiate the inside of the shell 21, so that the sterilization function is more directly observable.
[0125] As shown in Figure 12 and Figures 13-14 In some embodiments, the shell 21 includes a rotating shell 211 and a rotating cover 212, the rotating shell 211 has two ends, one end of the rotating shell 211 is open, and the rotating cover 212 is arranged at the open end of the rotating shell 211, so as to close the open end of the rotating shell 211, in the state that the rotating cover 212 is matched with the rotating shell 211, the rotating cover 212 and the rotating shell 211 define a water passing cavity 2101, and a plurality of water passing holes 2102 are arranged on the rotating shell 211 and / or the rotating cover 212.
[0126] When the sterilization assembly 20 is installed into the water inlet cavity 1230, the other end of the rotating shell 211 is rotatably matched with one side wall of the water inlet cavity 1230, and the rotating cover 212 is rotatably matched with the other side wall of the water inlet cavity 1230, that is, the two ends of the shell 21 of the sterilization assembly 20 are rotatably matched with the two oppositely arranged side walls of the water inlet cavity 1230, so as to ensure that the shell 21 can rotate in the water inlet cavity 1230.
[0127] In use, water entering the water inlet cavity 1230 impacts the plurality of blades 2112 on the shell 21, thereby driving the shell 21 to rotate, and the shell 21 can drive the sterilization particles 22 to displace and impact and rub against the shell 21. In this process, water in the water inlet cavity 1230 can enter the water passing cavity 2101 from the plurality of water passing holes 2102, and the water and the sterilization particles 22 are fully mixed, so that the water has sterilization and bacteriostatic functions. Then, the water having the sterilization and bacteriostatic functions can flow to the water inlet cavity 1230 from the plurality of water passing holes 2102, and finally enters the dropping cavity 130 to mix with the detergent for washing.
[0128] According to some embodiments of the present application, the dropping device 100 further comprises a shell 11, the shell 11 defining a containing cavity 110 having a side opening, and the waterway plate and the water inlet shell 123 are arranged in the shell 11.
[0129] The waterway plate and the shell 11 can be fixedly connected by fasteners, or can be connected together by a clamping structure. Of course, the two can also be connected together by welding, bonding or the like.
[0130] Further, the side wall and the top wall of the shell 11 cover the water inlet groove and the water outlet groove, and the side wall of the shell 11 covers the distribution groove 1222, i.e., the shell 11 and the waterway plate define the water inlet flow channel, the water outlet flow channel and the distribution cavity therebetween, which is simple in structure, convenient to form and beneficial to improve production efficiency.
[0131] In some embodiments, the waterway plate has a first matching groove and a second matching groove, and the shell 11 has a first matching convex rib and a second matching convex rib, the first matching convex rib matches the first matching groove, and the second matching convex rib matches the second matching groove, wherein the first matching groove surrounds the water inlet groove, and the water outlet groove is located between the first matching groove and the second matching groove.
[0132] In this way, the cooperation between the first matching groove and the first matching convex rib and the cooperation between the second matching groove and the second matching convex rib can ensure the sealing of the water inlet groove and the water outlet groove, and prevent water leakage.
[0133] The first matching groove comprises a first horizontal groove segment 1241, a second horizontal groove segment 1242, a third horizontal groove segment 1243, a first vertical groove segment 1244, a second vertical groove segment 1245, a first longitudinal groove segment 1246 and a second longitudinal groove segment 1247. The first horizontal groove segment 1241 extends horizontally and is close to the lower edge of the side plate 1211. The second horizontal groove segment 1242 extends horizontally and is close to the upper edge of the side plate 1211. The third horizontal groove segment 1243 extends horizontally and is located on the side wall of the first waterway plate 121 close to the second waterway plate 122. The first vertical groove segment 1244 extends vertically and is close to one side edge of the side plate 1211 in the horizontal direction. The lower end of the first vertical groove segment 1244 is communicated with one end of the first horizontal groove segment 1241. The second vertical groove segment 1245 extends vertically and is located in the middle of the side plate 1211 in the horizontal direction. The lower end of the second vertical groove segment 1245 is communicated with the other end of the first horizontal groove segment 1241. The first longitudinal groove segment 1246 extends longitudinally and is close to one side edge of the top plate 1212 in the horizontal direction. The two ends of the first longitudinal groove segment 1246 are respectively communicated with one end of the third horizontal groove segment 1243 and the upper end of the first vertical groove segment 1244. The second longitudinal groove segment 1247 extends longitudinally and is located in the middle of the top plate 1212 in the horizontal direction. The two ends of the second longitudinal groove segment 1247 are respectively communicated with the other end of the third horizontal groove segment 1243 and the upper end of the second vertical groove segment 1245.
[0134] The second matching groove comprises a fourth horizontal groove segment 1251, a third vertical groove segment 1252 and a third longitudinal groove segment 1253. The fourth horizontal groove segment 1251 extends horizontally and is close to the lower edge of the side plate 1211. One end of the fourth horizontal groove segment 1251 is communicated with the first horizontal groove segment 1241. The third vertical groove segment 1252 extends vertically and is close to the other side edge of the side plate 1211 in the horizontal direction. The lower end of the third vertical groove segment 1252 is communicated with the other end of the fourth horizontal groove segment 1251. The third longitudinal groove segment 1253 extends longitudinally and is close to the other side edge of the top plate 1212 in the horizontal direction. One end of the third longitudinal groove segment 1253 is communicated with the upper end of the third vertical groove segment 1252.
[0135] In some embodiments, the dispensing device 100 further comprises a drawer 13 which is adapted to be pullably arranged in the accommodating cavity 110 from the opening and defines a dispensing cavity 130 which is communicated with the distribution cavity. By arranging the drawer 13, it is convenient for the user to put the detergent into the dispensing cavity 130, and the operation is simple.
[0136] In some specific examples, the drawer 13 is provided with a relief hole 133 which is opposite to the position of the end cover 1232 so that the end cover 1232 is exposed.
[0137] The outer peripheral wall of the end cover 1232 has an annular stepped surface, and the avoiding hole 133 cooperates with the annular stepped surface of the end cover 1232, so that the end cover 1232 can be limited, preventing the end cover 1232 from being separated from the fixed shell 1231, thereby ensuring the installation reliability and stability of the sterilization assembly 20.
[0138] In some specific examples, the end cover 1232 is a transparent piece. By setting the end cover 1232 as a transparent piece, the sterilization function visibility is improved, and the user can observe the rotation state of the sterilization assembly 20 through the end cover 1232, thereby forming an intuitive feeling for the sterilization function, improving user trust and use experience.
[0139] As shown in Figure 13 In some embodiments, the drawer 13 has an avoiding portion for avoiding the water inlet shell 123, so that the drawer 13 can be installed in place in the shell 11, thereby ensuring that the feeding device 100 can be normally used.

The first feeding box defines a first feeding cavity 130, and the second feeding box defines a second feeding cavity 130. The first feeding box and the second feeding box are connected by a connecting plate, thereby ensuring the compactness and structural strength of the drawer 13, and preventing the drawer 13 from deforming.
[0142] Further, the connecting plate is provided with a liquid leakage hole 132, so that the water leaked from the water inlet shell 123 or splashed onto the connecting plate can flow into the shell 11 through the liquid leakage hole 132, and finally be fed into the designated component, avoiding the liquid on the connecting plate from remaining.
[0143] The first delivery cavity 130 can be filled with washing liquid or softening liquid, and the first delivery cavity 130 is provided with a siphon structure, so that the delivery of the washing liquid or the softening liquid can be realized.

During operation, the water in the water inlet cavity 1230 can enter the first delivery cavity 130 and the second delivery cavity 130 respectively, so as to be mixed with the washing liquid or the softening liquid and the washing powder, and finally be used for washing.
[0144] In some embodiments, there is a gap between the bottom wall of the drawer 13 and the bottom wall of the shell 11, and when the drawer 13 is in a closed state, the outer end of the drawer 13 and the bottom wall of the shell 11 define a delivery port 103, so that the diluted washing agent in the delivery cavity 130 and the water with sterilization function can be delivered to a designated position.
[0145] The drawer 13 of the delivery device 100 according to the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings,
[0146] As shown in Figure 14 and Figure 13 , according to some embodiments of the present application, the drawer 13 includes an outer baffle and a delivery box, one side surface of the outer baffle forms an appearance surface of the delivery device 100, and the delivery box is connected to the other side surface of the outer baffle, and the delivery box defines a delivery cavity 130 with a top opening. Further, the side of the outer baffle away from the appearance surface is also provided with a avoiding part for avoiding the sterilization assembly.
[0147] In some embodiments, the avoiding part forms a connecting plate, and the connecting plate is connected to the delivery box and the outer baffle respectively, and when the drawer 13 is in a closed state, the connecting plate is located below the sterilization assembly. In some specific embodiments, the sterilization assembly is arranged in the water inlet shell 123 of the delivery shell 10 of the delivery device 100, and when the drawer 13 is in a closed state, the connecting plate is located below the water inlet shell 123.
