[0049] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0050] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 14 The dispensing device 100 and the laundry treating apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention are described.

[0051] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the dispensing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a dispensing shell 10 and a sterilization component 20. The dispensing shell 10 defines a water inlet chamber 1230 and a dispensing chamber 130. The water inlet chamber 1230 and the dispensing chamber 130 are interconnected. The dispensing chamber 130 can be used to dispense detergent. The sterilization component 20 is arranged in the water inlet chamber 1230.

[0052] During operation, the water inlet valve is opened, and water flows into the water inlet chamber 1230 of the dispensing device 100. The water entering the water inlet chamber 1230 can impact the sterilization component 20, so that the water has a sterilization function. The water with a sterilization function flows out of the water inlet chamber 1230 and then enters the dispensing chamber 130, and can be mixed with the detergent in the dispensing chamber 130, so that the water has sterilization, washing and other functions for use in washing.

[0053] According to the dispensing device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, a sterilizing water flow can be formed by arranging a sterilizing component 20 in the water inlet chamber 1230, and the sterilizing water flow is then mixed with the detergent, that is, the release of the sterilizing substance and the dilution and mixing of the detergent are successively realized through the water inlet. It has a simple structure and low cost, and can not only effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria, but also remove stains and ensure the cleanliness. Compared with the related technology, it avoids the complicated water inlet pipeline structure and effectively utilizes the space in the dispensing shell 10.

[0054] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the sterilization component 20 is rotatably disposed in the water inlet chamber 1230, so that water can fully contact with the sterilization component 20, greatly improving the sterilization and antibacterial functions of the water.

[0055] The outer wall of the sterilization component 20 is provided with a plurality of blades 2112, and the plurality of blades 2112 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the outer wall of the sterilization component 20. When working, water entering the water inlet cavity 1230 impacts the plurality of blades 2112, thereby driving the sterilization component 20 to rotate, so that the water is in full contact with the sterilization component 20.

[0056] like Figure 6 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the sterilization component 20 includes a shell 21 and sterilization particles 22. The shell 21 has a water passage chamber 2101 and multiple water passage holes 2102. The water passage holes 2102 can connect the water chamber 2101 and the water inlet chamber 1230. The sterilization particles 22 are arranged in the water passage chamber 2101.

[0057] Specifically, the water entering the water inlet chamber 1230 can flow into the water flow chamber 2101 from the multiple water holes 2102. The water entering the water flow chamber 2101 is in full contact with the sterilization particles 22, so that the water has a sterilization function. The sterilization water in the water flow chamber 2101 can also flow from the multiple water holes 2102 to the water inlet chamber 1230, and then enter the delivery chamber 130, and can be mixed with the detergent in the delivery chamber 130 for washing.

[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, 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 at intervals along the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral wall of the shell 21. When working, the water entering the water inlet chamber 1230 impacts the blades 2112 on the shell 21, thereby driving the shell 21 to rotate. When the shell 21 rotates, it can drive the sterilization particles 22 in the water chamber 2101 to move and rub, 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 antibacterial functions.

[0059] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the wall surface of the water passage cavity 2101 is provided with lifting ribs 2111 .

[0060] In some specific embodiments, the lifting rib 2111 may include one, which extends along the axial direction of the shell 21. When the shell 21 rotates, the lifting rib 2111 can raise 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 collide and rub with the shell 21, 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 bactericidal and antibacterial functions.

[0061] In other specific embodiments, the lifting ribs 2111 may include multiple lifting ribs 2111, which are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the peripheral wall of the shell 21, and each lifting rib 2111 extends along the axial direction of the shell 21. By setting multiple lifting ribs 2111, the multiple lifting ribs 2111 can be used to lift the sterilization particles 22, thereby further accelerating the impact and friction frequency between the sterilization particles 22 and the shell 21.

[0062] In some embodiments, the housing 21 is a transparent member. By setting the housing 21 as a transparent member, the visibility of the sterilization function is improved. The user can not only observe the rolling state of the sterilization particles 22 through the housing 21, so as to add the sterilization particles 22 in time as needed, but also form an intuitive feeling of the sterilization function, thereby improving the user's trust and use experience.

[0063] In some specific embodiments, the delivery device 100 further includes a light-emitting component (not shown in the figure), which can illuminate the inside of the shell 21 to make the sterilization function more direct and visible.

[0064] like Figure 6 and Fig.12 As shown, 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. The rotating cover 212 is arranged at the open mouth of the rotating shell 211, so as to close the open mouth of the rotating shell 211. When the rotating cover 212 and the rotating shell 211 are in place, the rotating cover 212 and the rotating shell 211 define a water passage cavity 2101, and a plurality of water passage holes 2102 are arranged on the rotating shell 211 and / or the rotating cover 212.

[0065] When the sterilization component 20 is installed in the water inlet chamber 1230, the other end of the rotating shell 211 is rotatably engaged with one side wall of the water inlet chamber 1230, and the rotating cover 212 is rotatably engaged with the other side wall of the water inlet chamber 1230, that is, the two ends of the shell 21 of the sterilization component 20 are rotatably engaged with the two oppositely arranged side walls of the water inlet chamber 1230, ensuring that the shell 21 can rotate in the water inlet chamber 1230.

[0066] During operation, the water entering the water inlet chamber 1230 impacts the multiple blades 2112 on the shell 21, thereby driving the shell 21 to rotate. When the shell 21 rotates, it can drive the sterilization particles 22 to move, and send collisions and frictions with the shell 21. During this process, the water in the water inlet chamber 1230 can enter the water flow chamber 2101 from the multiple water holes 2102, and the water is fully mixed with the sterilization particles 22, so that the water has sterilization and antibacterial functions. Then, the water with sterilization and antibacterial functions can flow from the multiple water holes 2102 to the water inlet chamber 1230, and finally enter the delivery chamber 130 to be mixed with detergent for washing.

[0067] like Figure 5-Figure 9 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the delivery shell 10 defines a water inlet channel 101, which connects the water inlet 111 and the water inlet cavity 1230. Water can flow from the water inlet 111 through the water inlet channel 101, and then enter the water inlet cavity 1230 to be fully mixed with the sterilization component 20. The water inlet 111 can be directly connected to the water inlet valve, so that water can flow into the water inlet cavity 1230, and the water inlet 111 can also be connected to the water inlet valve through a pipeline.

[0068] Therefore, by arranging the water inlet channel 101 on the launching shell 10, the water inlet cavity 1230 can be easily connected with the water inlet 111, and the shape and structure of the water inlet channel 101 can be designed according to needs, which has a wide range of applications.

[0069] Furthermore, the delivery shell 10 further defines a water outlet channel 102, which connects the water inlet chamber 1230 and the delivery chamber 130. The water in the water inlet chamber 1230 enters the water passage chamber 2101 from the multiple water holes 2102, and the water is fully mixed with the bactericidal particles 22, so that the water has bactericidal and bacteriostatic functions, and then the water with bactericidal and bacteriostatic functions can flow from the multiple water holes 2102 to the water inlet chamber 1230, and enter the delivery chamber 130 through the water outlet channel 102 to be mixed with detergent for washing.

[0070] Therefore, by arranging the water outlet channel 102 on the delivery shell 10, the water inlet cavity 1230 can be easily connected with the delivery cavity 130, and the shape and structure of the water outlet channel 102 can be designed according to needs, which has a wide range of applications.

[0071] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the delivery shell 10 further defines a distribution chamber 103, and the water outlet channel 102 and the delivery chamber 130 are connected through the distribution chamber 103, wherein the distribution chamber 103 is located above the delivery chamber 130, and the bottom wall of the distribution chamber 103 is provided with a plurality of spray holes 1221, and the spray holes 1221 connect the distribution chamber 103 and the delivery chamber 130.

[0072] Specifically, the water with sterilization function in the water inlet chamber 1230 can flow to the distribution chamber 103 through the water outlet channel 102. Since the distribution chamber 103 is located above the delivery chamber 130, the water in the distribution chamber 103 can flow downward to the delivery chamber 130 through the spray hole 1221, thereby mixing the detergent in the delivery chamber 130 for washing.

[0073] By arranging the distribution chamber 103 above the delivery chamber 130, the water with sterilization function can be drained into the designated delivery chamber 130, so as to be mixed with the detergent in the designated delivery chamber 130, with a simple structure and low cost.

[0074] In some specific embodiments, the number of the distribution chambers 103 and the delivery chambers 130 are equal and their positions correspond one to one.

[0075] For example, the number of the distribution chamber 103 and the delivery chamber 130 can be one respectively. The distribution chamber 103 is arranged directly above the delivery chamber 130. The water entering the distribution chamber 103 can flow downward from the multiple spray holes 1221 under the action of gravity, and then flow into the delivery chamber 130.

[0076] For another example, the number of distribution chambers 103 and delivery chambers 130 can be two respectively. Specifically, as shown in the figure, the distribution chamber 103 includes a first distribution chamber 103 located on the left and a second distribution chamber 103 located on the right. Correspondingly, the delivery chamber 130 includes a first delivery chamber 130 located on the left and a second delivery chamber 130 located on the right. The first distribution chamber 103 is located directly above the first delivery chamber 130, and the second distribution chamber 103 is located directly above the second delivery chamber 130. The water in the water inlet chamber 1230 can enter the first distribution chamber 103 through the water outlet channel 102, and then flow downward to the first delivery chamber 130 through the multiple spray holes 1221 on the bottom wall of the first distribution chamber 103. It can also enter the second distribution chamber 103 through the water outlet channel 102, and then flow downward to the second delivery chamber 130 through the multiple spray holes 1221 on the bottom wall of the second distribution chamber 103.

[0077] Of course, the number of distribution chambers 103 and delivery chambers 130 can be multiple (three or more). The layout of multiple distribution chambers 103 and multiple delivery chambers 130 can be designed according to specific circumstances, which will not be repeated here.

[0078] like Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the delivery shell 10 includes an outer shell 11, the outer shell 11 defines a accommodating cavity 110, the accommodating cavity 110 has an opening, and a water inlet 111 is arranged on the outer shell 11. That is, the outer shell 11 can serve as an appearance structural member of the delivery device 100, the opening of the outer shell 11 can be arranged at the front of the outer shell 11, and the water inlet 111 can be arranged at the rear of the outer shell 11.

[0079] like Figure 5-Figure 9As shown, the launching shell 10 also includes a water path component 12, which is arranged in the outer shell 11, and the water path component 12 defines a water inlet chamber 1230, and the water path component 12 itself can define a water inlet channel 101, a water outlet channel 102 and a distribution chamber 103, or, the water path component 12 and the outer shell 11 define the water inlet channel 101, the water outlet channel 102 and the distribution chamber 103, or, the water path component 12 itself defines a part of the water inlet channel 101, the water outlet channel 102 and the distribution chamber 103, and the water path component 12 and the outer shell 11 define another part of the water inlet channel 101, the water outlet channel 102 and the distribution chamber 103, which has a simple structure and is easy to implement.

[0080] The water channel component 12 and the housing 11 may be fixedly connected by fasteners, or may be connected together by a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0081] Furthermore, if Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 13-Figure 14 As shown, the delivery shell 10 further includes a drawer 13, which is adapted to be push-pull disposed in the accommodating cavity 110 from the opening, and the drawer 13 defines a delivery cavity 130. By providing the drawer 13, it is convenient for the user to deliver detergent into the delivery cavity 130, and the operation is simple.

[0082] like Figure 7-Figure 9 As shown, in some examples, the waterway component 12 includes a first waterway plate 121 and a second waterway plate 122. The first waterway plate 121 is disposed in the outer shell 11, and a part of the water inlet channel 101 and the water outlet channel 102 are defined between the first waterway plate 121 and the side wall of the outer shell 11. The second waterway plate 122 is connected to the upper end of the first waterway plate 121, and the second waterway plate 122 is disposed in the outer shell 11, and a distribution cavity 103 is defined between the second waterway plate 122 and the top wall of the outer shell 11. The structure is simple and molding is convenient.

[0083] In some specific examples, the water inlet channel 101 includes a first water inlet channel 1011, a second water inlet channel 1012 and a third water inlet channel 1013, the second water inlet channel 1012 connects the first water inlet channel 1011 and the third water inlet channel 1013, and the water outlet channel 102 includes a first water outlet channel 1021, a second water outlet channel 1022 and a third water outlet channel 1023, the second water outlet channel 1022 connects the first water outlet channel 1021 and the third water outlet channel 1023.

[0084] A first water inlet channel 1011 is defined between the first waterway plate 121 and the inner surface of the side wall of the outer shell 11 , a second water inlet channel 1012 is defined between the first waterway plate 121 and the inner surface of the top wall of the outer shell 11 , and a third water inlet channel 1013 is defined between the first waterway plate 121 and the second waterway plate 122 .

[0085] A first water outlet channel 1021 is defined between the first waterway plate 121 and the inner surface of the top wall of the housing 11 , and a second water outlet channel 1022 is defined between the first waterway plate 121 and the inner surface of the side wall of the housing 11 .

[0086] like Figure 7-Figure 9 As shown, further, the water channel component 12 also includes a water inlet shell 123, which is disposed below the second water channel plate 122, and is connected to the first water channel plate 121, and defines a water inlet cavity 1230. By providing the water inlet shell 123, the water inlet cavity 1230 for placing the sterilization component 20 can be defined, and the space below the second water channel plate 122 is effectively utilized, thereby improving space utilization.

[0087] In some examples, the water inlet shell 123 further defines another part of the water outlet channel 102, namely, the third water outlet channel 1023, and the third water outlet channel 1023 is located below the water inlet cavity 1230. Specifically, the third water outlet channel 1023 is disposed along the length direction of the water inlet shell 123 (eg, Figure 7 The bottom wall of the water inlet chamber 1230 is provided with a connecting port 1237, and the third water outlet channel 1023 is connected with the connecting port 1237, so that the water in the water inlet chamber 1230 can enter the water outlet channel 102 through the connecting port 1237, and finally flow into the delivery chamber 130 to be mixed with the detergent.

[0088] like Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, 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 to 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 mouth of the fixed shell 1231, and a water inlet cavity 1230 is defined between the end cover 1232 and the fixed shell 1231. By setting the water inlet shell 123 into the above structure, it is convenient to take and place the sterilization component 20, and the water inlet shell 123 defines the position of the sterilization component 20, so that the sterilization component 20 can effectively perform its sterilization function.

[0089] In some specific examples, the end cover 1232 is rotatably engaged with the fixed shell 1231 .

[0090] Specifically, the outer wall of the end cover 1232 is provided with a plurality of clips 1235, and the plurality of clips 1235 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the outer wall of the end cover 1232. Correspondingly, the inner wall of the fixed shell 1231 is provided with a plurality of slots 1236 near the opening. The plurality of slots 1236 are snap-fitted with the plurality of clips 1235 in a one-to-one correspondence, thereby ensuring the connection reliability between the two and making assembly and disassembly more convenient.

[0091] Among them, the card slot 1236 includes an opening of the card slot 1236 in the circumferential direction of the inner circumferential wall of the fixed shell 1231, which is greater than or equal to the circumferential direction of the buckle 1235 on the outer circumferential wall of the end cover 1232, and the opening of the card slot 1236 forms a constriction. When installing the end cover 1232 on the fixed shell 1231, first align the multiple buckles 1235 on the end cover 1232 with the openings of the multiple card slots 1236 of the fixed shell 1231, and then push the end cover 1232 to slide inward along the axial direction of the fixed shell 1231, and then rotate the end cover 1232, so that the buckle 1235 slides into the deep of the card slot 1236, ensuring the reliable connection between the end cover 1232 and the fixed shell 1231.

[0092] like Figure 8 As shown, in some specific examples, the slot 1236 includes a first slot segment 12361 and a second slot segment 12362, the first slot segment 12361 extends circumferentially along the inner circumferential wall of the fixed shell 1231, the second slot segment 12362 extends axially along the inner circumferential wall of the fixed shell 1231, one end of the second slot segment 12362 forms an opening of the slot 1236, and the other end of the second slot segment 12362 is connected to one end of the first slot segment 12361, and when the end cover 1232 and the fixed shell 1231 are assembled in place, the buckle 1235 on the end cover 1232 is snap-fitted with the first slot segment 12361.

[0093] In some specific examples, both ends of the sterilization component 20 are rotatably matched with the end cover 1232 and the bottom wall of the fixed shell 1231, respectively, to ensure that the sterilization component 20 can rotate in the water inlet chamber 1230 under the impact of water flow.

[0094] For example, one of the sterilization component 20 and the end cover 1232 has a rotating shaft and the other has an axial hole that cooperates with the rotating shaft. Similarly, one of the sterilization component 20 and the bottom wall of the fixed shell 1231 has a rotating shaft and the other has an axial hole that cooperates with the rotating shaft. The structure is simple, easy to assemble and disassemble, and easy to implement.

[0095] like Figure 6 As shown, in the present embodiment, a first rotating shaft 213 and a second rotating shaft 214 are respectively provided at both ends of the sterilization component 20, and correspondingly, a first axial hole 1233 is provided at a position of the end cover 1232 opposite to the sterilization component 20, and a second axial hole 1234 is provided at a position of the bottom wall of the fixed shell 1231 opposite to the sterilization component 20, the first rotating shaft 213 cooperates with the first axial hole 1233, and the second rotating shaft 214 cooperates with the second axial hole 1234, thereby ensuring that the sterilization component 20 can rotate in the water inlet chamber 1230.

[0096] In some specific examples, the first waterway plate 121, the second waterway plate 122 and the fixed shell 1231 are integrally formed. By integrally forming the above structure, not only the number of parts can be reduced, the connector and other structures are omitted, thereby simplifying the structure, but also the assembly process can be reduced, which is conducive to improving production efficiency.

[0097] In some specific examples, the drawer 13 is provided with an avoidance hole 133, and the avoidance hole 133 is directly opposite to the position of the end cover 1232, so that the end cover 1232 is exposed.

[0098] Among them, the outer peripheral wall of the end cover 1232 has an annular step surface, and the avoidance hole 133 cooperates with the annular step surface of the end cover 1232, so that the end cover 1232 can be limited to prevent the end cover 1232 from separating from the fixed shell 1231, thereby ensuring the installation reliability and stability of the sterilization component 20.

[0099] In some specific examples, the end cap 1232 is a transparent member. By setting the end cap 1232 as a transparent member, the visibility of the sterilization function is improved, and the user can observe the rotation state of the sterilization component 20 through the end cap 1232, thereby forming an intuitive feeling of the sterilization function, improving the user's trust and use experience.

[0100] like Figure 13-Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the drawer 13 has an avoidance portion, which is used to avoid the water inlet shell 123, ensuring that the drawer 13 can be installed in place in the outer shell 11, thereby ensuring that the delivery device 100 can be used normally.

By providing the leakage hole 132 in the avoidance recess 131, it is ensured that the water leaked from the water inlet shell 123 can flow into the outer shell 11, and finally delivered to the designated component, and avoid remaining in the avoidance recess 131.

[0102] Specifically, the drawer 13 includes a first delivery box, a second delivery box and an outer baffle. The first delivery box and the second delivery box are arranged at one side of the outer baffle. The first delivery box defines a first delivery cavity 130, and the second delivery box defines a second delivery cavity 130. The first delivery box and the second delivery box are connected by a connecting plate, thereby ensuring the compactness and strength of the structure of the drawer 13 and preventing the drawer 13 from deformation.

[0103] Furthermore, a leakage hole 132 is provided on the connecting plate to ensure that water leaking from the water inlet shell 123 or water splashing onto the connecting plate can flow into the outer shell 11 through the leakage hole 132 and finally be delivered to the designated component to avoid liquid residue on the connecting plate.

[0104] The first delivery chamber 130 may be used to place detergent or softener, and a siphon structure is provided in the first delivery chamber 130, so that detergent or softener can be delivered; the second delivery chamber 130 may be used to place washing powder, and a through hole is provided on the bottom wall and / or side wall of the second delivery chamber 130, so that washing powder can be delivered.
