[0026] In the description of the application, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection", "connecting" should be understood in a broad sense, and in one example, can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected, or can communicate with each other; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements.

[0027] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the application provides a detergent box assembly 100, which comprises a detergent box 20, a dispenser 30 and a filter 10. Referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the dispenser 30 and the filter 10 constitute a dispenser component 101.

[0028] The detergent box 20 is provided with a cavity 21, and a peripheral wall of the detergent box 20 is provided with a circulating water inlet 213. The dispenser 30 can be detachably mounted in the cavity 21, and the dispenser 30 comprises a dispensing area 31 and a filtering area 32 located at one side 312 of the dispensing area 31. One end 324 of the filtering area 32 is provided with a mounting hole 323 corresponding to the circulating water inlet 213. The filter 10 comprises a flexible filter bag 11 and a fixed nozzle 12 protruding from the outside of the filter bag 11. The fixed nozzle 12 is detachably connected in the mounting hole 323. The filter 10 is used to filter the circulating water entering the filtering area 32 from the circulating water inlet 213.

[0029] In some embodiments, the washing water comprises circulating water entering the detergent box assembly 100 multiple times. For example, the detergent box assembly 100 is connected with an external device, and the circulating water circulates between the detergent box assembly 100 and the external device. The circulating water is filtered once each time it flows through the filter 10, and the content of micro-particles in the circulating water decreases with the increase of the number of filtrations. For non-circulating water, the filter 10 can also be used for filtration, which is not limited herein.

[0030] The dispensing area 31 is used to store detergent. The filter 10 is mounted in the filtering area 32 and is used to filter the circulating water entering the filtering area 32 from the circulating water inlet 213. The circulating water enters the detergent box 20 from the circulating water inlet 213 and leaves the detergent box 20 after being filtered by the flexible filter bag 11. In this way, after multiple filtrations, the micro-particles in the circulating water are intercepted by the flexible filter bag 11 one by one, so that the micro-particles in the circulating water leaving the detergent box 20 after each filtration are reduced. Therefore, the filter 10 and the detergent box 20 can effectively filter the micro-particles in the circulating water to reduce the pollution of the micro-particles to the environment.

[0031] The fixed nozzle 12 is detachably connected to the mounting hole 323, so that the filter 10 can be detached from the dispenser 30 to facilitate cleaning of the fine particles in the flexible filter bag 11 after detachment to avoid the fine particles from clogging the filter. Alternatively, the old filter 10 can be detached and replaced with a new filter 10 mounted in the mounting hole 323 to replace the clogged filter with an unclogged filter.

[0032] In summary, the fixed nozzle 12 of the filter 10 is detachable relative to the mounting hole 323 to facilitate detachment of the clogged filter 10 from the detergent box assembly 100 to clean the fine particles in the filter bag 11 or replace the filter 10 mounted in the detergent box assembly 100 to avoid the filter 10 from being clogged to affect the circulation of the water flow.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the flexible filter bag 11 is provided with a water inlet 111 and a plurality of water outlets 112. The fixed nozzle 12 is arranged at the water inlet 111 and is used to allow the circulation water to pass through the water inlet 111 and enter the filter bag 11. The water outlets 112 of the flexible filter bag 11 are used to block at least part of the fine particles in the circulation water and allow the filtered circulation water to pass through.

[0034] Figure 5 The number, shape and size of the water outlets 112 of the filter 10 in the embodiments are only illustrative. In other embodiments, the number and size of the water outlets 112 can be adjusted according to the filtering requirements, which are not limited herein. For example, the number of the water outlets 112 can be 80 mesh, 100 mesh, 120 mesh, etc., which are not limited herein. In one embodiment, the water outlets 112 are distributed throughout the flexible filter bag 11, and the water flow can flow in multiple directions. In yet another embodiment, the water outlets 112 are arranged in a partial area of the filter bag 11 to be able to limit the position of the water outlet and the direction of the water flow impact.

[0035] The fine particles include particles with small diameters, such as plastic particles with diameters less than 5 mm. The fine particles are difficult to decompose in nature, and due to the small size of the fine particles, they are very easy to enter the water cycle in nature, so that the discharge of the circulation water containing the fine particles into nature will cause greater pollution. The filter 10 can filter the fine particles in the circulation water to reduce the pollution of the fine particles to the environment.

[0036] When a rigid filter screen structure is used to filter fine particles in a fluid, the fine particles are easy to accumulate at the mesh of the filter screen, resulting in a low filtering efficiency of the filter screen structure. The flexible filter bag 11 is a flexible structure that deforms when the circulation water flows, changes the position of the water outlet 112 relative to the detergent box 20, and makes it difficult for the fine particles to accumulate at the fixed position of the detergent box 20, so that the water outlet is smoother.

[0037] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the fixed nozzle 12 comprises a water inlet nozzle 121 and a fixed plate 122. The water inlet nozzle 121 is installed at the water inlet 111 and protrudes outside the filter bag 11. The fixed plate 122 is sleevedly installed on the water inlet nozzle 121 and is detachably installed in the installation hole 323, so that the filter 10 is detachably installed in the filtering area 32.

[0038] In one embodiment, the side wall 3231 of the installation hole 323 is provided with a clamping groove 3232, and the fixed plate 122 can be inserted into or pulled out of the clamping groove 3232, so that the fixed plate 122 is detachably installed in the installation hole 323. The clamping structure of the fixed plate 122 and the clamping groove 3232 is simple, and the disassembly operation is convenient.

[0039] In another embodiment, the side wall 1221 of the fixed plate 122 is provided with a clamping groove (not shown in the figure), and the side wall 3231 of the installation hole 323 can be directly inserted into or pulled out of the clamping groove, so that the fixed plate 122 is detachably installed in the installation hole 323. Alternatively, the side wall 3231 of the installation hole 323 is provided with a protrusion (not shown in the figure), and the thickness of the protrusion is less than the thickness of the side wall of the installation hole 323. The protrusion can be inserted into or pulled out of the clamping groove, so that the fixed plate 122 is detachably installed in the installation hole 323.

[0040] In another embodiment, the side wall 3231 of the installation hole 323 is provided with a first thread (not shown in the figure), and the fixed plate 122 is provided with a second thread (not shown in the figure). The first thread cooperates with the second thread, so that the fixed plate 122 is detachably installed in the installation hole 323. The threaded cooperation between the fixed plate 122 and the installation hole 323 can make the combination between the fixed plate 122 and the installation hole 323 more stable. For example, the first thread and the second thread are the same threaded holes. When installing the fixed plate 122, the first thread is aligned with the second thread, and a screw is used to pass through the first thread and the second thread to install the fixed plate 122 on the side wall 3231 of the installation hole 323. The number of the first thread and the second thread is not limited.

[0041] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the water inlet nozzle 121 partially extends into the filter bag 11 and partially protrudes outside the filter bag 11. In one embodiment, the circulating water inlet 213 communicates with the circulating pipeline 2201, and the part of the water inlet nozzle 121 protruding outside the filter bag 11 communicates with the circulating water inlet 213 to guide the circulating water into the filter bag 11.

[0042] Referring to Figure 4In some embodiments, the filter bag 11 is flat on the bottom 322 of the filter area 32 when no circulating water enters the filter bag 11; the filter bag 11 is inflated and fills the filter area 32 when the circulating water enters the filter bag 11 through the circulating water inlet 213 and the water inlet 121. As the circulating water continues to enter the filter bag 11, water pressure is formed in the inflated filter bag 11, which can force the circulating water out of the clogged water outlet hole 112 under the action of the water pressure, so that the circulating water can flow out of the filter bag 11 smoothly.

[0043] Referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the cavity 21 of the detergent box 20 is provided with an opening 214 for the dispenser 30 to be pulled out, and the dispenser 30 can be inserted into or pulled out of the cavity 21 through the opening 214. Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 When it is necessary to add detergent, the dispenser 30 can be pulled out of the cavity 21 so that the dispenser 30 is at least partially exposed outside the box body 200, thereby facilitating the user to put the detergent into the dispenser 30.

[0044] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the peripheral wall of the detergent box 20 is provided with a water inlet 211 and a water outlet 212. The water inlet 211 corresponds to and communicates with the putting area 31. The filter area 32 communicates with the circulating water inlet 213 and the water outlet 212.

[0045] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the peripheral wall of the detergent box 20 includes a side wall 201, a top 202, and a bottom 203. In one embodiment, the water inlet 211 is arranged on the top 202, the water outlet 212 is arranged on the bottom 203, and the circulating water inlet 213 is arranged on the side wall 201.

[0046] Referring to Figure 2 In some embodiments, when the dispenser 30 is loaded into the cavity 21, a channel 215 is formed between the dispenser 30 and the bottom 203 of the cavity 21, and the circulating water in the dispenser 30 can enter the channel 215 and then enter the water outlet 212 from the channel 215.

[0047] Referring to Figure 1 and the drawings, in some embodiments, the peripheral wall of the detergent box 20 is further provided with an anti-blocking opening 204 corresponding to and communicating with the filter area 32, and the anti-blocking opening 204 is located higher than the circulating water inlet 213. In the case that the micro-particles in the filter bag 11 are overloaded and the circulating water cannot enter the filter bag 11 from the circulating water inlet 213, the anti-blocking opening 204 is used for the circulating water to enter the filter cavity 21.

[0048] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the detergent box 20 further comprises a water inlet pipe 231. The top 202 comprises a water inlet chamber 232, which is in communication with the water inlet 211. The water inlet pipe 231 is connected to an external water source. After the user puts the detergent into the dispenser 30, the dispenser 30 is pushed back into the cavity 21, the external water source injects water into the water inlet pipe 231, the water flow is circulated in the water inlet chamber 232 to the water inlet 211, and then into the dispenser 30 in the cavity 21 from the water inlet 211, so as to flush the detergent in the dispenser 30 into the water outlet 212. The water containing the detergent flows from the water outlet 212 into an external device, which can use the water containing the detergent for washing, and the water containing the detergent in the external device can re-enter the detergent box assembly 100 from the circulating water inlet 213 to form circulating water.

[0049] Referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the side wall 205 and the side wall 206 on both sides of the opening 214 of the detergent box 20 are respectively provided with sliding rails 26, and the side wall 301 and the side wall 302 of the dispenser 30 are respectively provided with sliding blocks 36. The sliding rails 26 and the sliding blocks 36 cooperate to enable the dispenser 30 to slide relative to the detergent box 20 in the cavity 21, so as to facilitate the pulling of the dispenser 30. In other embodiments, the side wall 205 and the side wall 206 on both sides of the opening 214 of the detergent box 20 can be respectively provided with sliding blocks, and the side wall 301 and the side wall 302 of the dispenser 30 can be respectively provided with sliding rails, which are not limited herein.

[0050] Referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the dispenser 30 further comprises a stop plate 35 arranged between the filtering area 32 and the putting area 31, for separating the filtering area 32 and the putting area 31. When the dispenser 30 is located in the cavity 21, the putting area 31 corresponds to and communicates with the water inlet 211, and the filtering area 32 communicates with the circulating water inlet 213 and the water outlet 212.

[0051] Referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the circulating water inlet 213 is arranged on the side wall 201 of the detergent box 20 opposite to the opening 214 and protrudes outside the cavity 21. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In one example, the water inlet 121 of the fixed nozzle 12 extends into the circulating water inlet 213, so that the water inlet 121 is in communication with the circulating water inlet 213, and the circulating water flows into the flexible filter bag 11 through the water inlet 121 and flows out of the water outlet hole 112. In another example, the water inlet 121 of the fixed nozzle 12 does not extend into the circulating water inlet 213, and the two are only aligned to form a closed channel for water to flow through, so that the water inlet 121 is in communication with the circulating water inlet 213, and the circulating water flows into the flexible filter bag 11 through the water inlet 121 and flows out of the water outlet hole 112. In another example, the water inlet 121 of the fixed nozzle 12 does not extend into the circulating water inlet 213, and the two are spaced apart, and a pipe can be used to connect the two, so that the water inlet 121 is in communication with the circulating water inlet 213, and the circulating water flows into the flexible filter bag 11 through the water inlet 121 and flows out of the water outlet hole 112.

[0052] In some embodiments, the filter area 32 includes a through hole 321 in communication with the channel 215, and the circulating water flowing out of the water outlet hole 112 flows into the channel 215 from the through hole 321 to enter the water outlet 212 from the bottom 203 of the cavity 21.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, in the direction X1 from the dispensing area 31 to the filter area 32, the part of the bottom 313 of the dispensing area 31 close to the water inlet 211 is higher than the part of the bottom 313 of the dispensing area 31 away from the water inlet 211. In this way, the detergent dispensed close to the water inlet 211 can flow from high to low to the part away from the water inlet 211. In one example, the part of the bottom 313 of the dispensing area 31 away from the water inlet 211 is provided with a water inlet 3131, and the water inlet 3131 is in communication with the channel 215, so that the detergent dispensed from the water inlet 211 can flow into the water inlet 3131 from high to low, and then enter the channel 215 from the water inlet 3131, and mix with the circulating water in the channel 215 and then exit from the water outlet 212.

[0054] In another example, the dispensing area 31 is in communication with the filter area 32. For example, please refer to Figure 4 The dispenser 30 further includes a stop plate 35 arranged between the filter area 32 and the dispensing area 31, and the stop plate 35 is provided with a communication hole 351. The part of the bottom 313 of the dispensing area 31 close to the water inlet 211 is higher than the part of the bottom 313 of the dispensing area 31 close to the stop plate 35, so that the detergent dispensed at the water inlet 211 can flow from high to low to the communication hole 351, and then reach the filter area 32 after passing through the communication hole 351. Please refer to Figure 4 The circulating water of the filter 10 enters the channel 215 from the through hole 321, mixes with the circulating water in the channel 215, and then exits from the water outlet 212.

[0055] In the absence of circulating water in the detergent box 20, the detergent in the channel 215 can also exit from the water outlet 212, which is not limited here.

[0056] In some embodiments, the bottom 313 of the dispensing area 31 is inclined, and the portion close to the water inlet 211 is higher, and the portion away from the water inlet 211 is lower. The surface of the inclined surface can be a plane or a curved surface, which is not limited here.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the side of the dispensing area 31 facing the opening 214 is the front end 311, the side where the filtering area 32 is located is the rear end 312, and the water inlet 211 is arranged at the front end 311. In one embodiment, the direction from the front end 311 to the rear end 312 is the length direction of the dispenser 30, that is, the direction from one end where the opening 214 is located to one end where the water inlet 211 is located, or the direction from the rear end 312 to the front end 311 is the length direction of the dispenser 30 (X1 / X2), and correspondingly, the two sides of the opening 214 are the width direction of the dispenser 30 (Y1 / Y2). The bottom 313 of the dispensing area 31 is an inclined surface inclined along the length direction (X1 / X2). In another embodiment, the direction from the front end 311 to the rear end 312 or the direction from the rear end 312 to the front end 311 is the width direction of the dispenser 30, and correspondingly, the two sides of the opening 214 are the length direction of the dispenser 30, and the bottom 313 of the dispensing area 31 is an inclined surface inclined along the width direction, which is not limited here.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, when the dispenser 30 is located in the cavity 21, the bottom 322 of the filtering area 32 close to the circulating water inlet 213 (or the mounting hole 323, the same below) is higher than the portion of the bottom 322 of the filtering area 32 away from the circulating water inlet 213. Since the filter bag 11 is flexible, the portion of the filter bag 11 close to the circulating water inlet 213 arranged in the filtering area 32 is higher than the portion of the filter bag 11 away from the circulating water inlet 213. In this way, the circulating water can flow from high to low to the portion away from the water inlet 211, and the existing micro-particles in the filter 10 can be flushed and driven to the portion away from the circulating water inlet 213 to be collected, avoiding accumulation near the circulating water inlet 213, and improving the space utilization of the filter 10. Please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment, the portion of the bottom 322 of the filtering area 32 away from the circulating water inlet 213 is provided with a through hole 321 communicating with the channel 215, and the circulating water in the filter bag 11 flows from high to low to the through hole 321 and enters the channel 215 from the through hole 321.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the bottom 322 of the filtering area 32 is inclined, with the portion close to the circulating water inlet 213 being higher and the portion away from the circulating water inlet 213 being lower. The surface of the inclined portion can be planar or curved, which is not limited herein. In one embodiment, the bottom 322 of the filtering area 32 is provided with a through hole 321 only at the lower portion. In another embodiment, the bottom of the filtering area 32 is provided with a plurality of through holes 321, and the through holes 321 are provided at both the higher and lower portions of the bottom to increase the flow of the circulating water into the flow channel 215.

[0060] Referring to Figures 2 to 4 In one embodiment, the side of the dispensing area 31 facing the opening 214 is the front end 311, the side of the filtering area 32 is the rear end 312, and the water inlet 211 is arranged at the front end 311. In one embodiment, the direction from the front end 311 to the rear end 312, or the direction from the rear end 312 to the front end 311 is the length direction (X1 / X2) of the dispenser 30, i.e., the direction from one end where the opening 214 is located to one end where the water inlet 211 is located is the length direction (X1 / X2) of the dispenser 30, and correspondingly, the two sides of the opening 214 are the width direction (Y1 / Y2) of the dispenser 30. The bottom 322 of the filtering area 32 is an inclined surface inclined along the width direction (Y1 / Y2). In another embodiment, the direction from the front end 311 to the rear end 312, or the direction from the rear end 312 to the front end 311 is the width direction of the dispenser 30, and correspondingly, the two sides of the opening 214 are the length direction of the dispenser 30, and the bottom 322 of the filtering area 32 is an inclined surface inclined along the length direction, which is not limited herein.

[0063] The laundry treatment apparatus 1000 can be used to wash laundry, shoes and other articles to be washed. For example, the laundry treatment apparatus 1000 is a washing machine for washing laundry. Please refer to the following description of the washing process of the laundry treatment apparatus 1000. Figure 3 and Figure 7 Before washing, the user loads the articles to be washed into the washing cavity 2103 of the inner drum 2102, and puts the detergent into the dispenser 30, and then water is injected into the detergent box assembly 100 through the water inlet pipeline 231, and the water mixed with the detergent in the detergent box assembly 100 enters the washing cavity 2103 from the water outlet 212. During washing, the inner drum 2102 rotates relative to the outer drum 2101, and drives the articles to be washed in the washing cavity 2103 and the washing water containing the detergent to rotate, so as to perform washing. In an embodiment, the washing water in the inner drum 2102 enters the water passage cavity 2104, the outer drum 2101 discharges the washing water into the circulation pump 220, and the circulation pump 220 draws the washing water in the water passage cavity 2104 to the circulating water inlet 213, so that the washing water reenters the detergent box assembly 100. In this way, the washing water circulates among the detergent box assembly 100, the drum assembly 210 and the circulation pump 220, forming circulating water.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the number of water outlets 212 can be one, and the water outlet 212 can be arranged at the bottom 203 of the detergent box 20 and close to the opening 214. Specifically, the water outlet 212 can be located at the lowest part of the bottom 203 of the detergent box 20. In this way, whether it is the cleaning water after flushing the detergent through the water inlet 211 or the circulating water after passing through the filter 10, it can quickly flow to the water outlet 212 at the lowest part, so as to improve the circulation efficiency and thus improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0065] In some other embodiments, the water outlet 212 can include at least two sub-water outlets, for example, two sub-water outlets, a main water outlet and a sub water outlet (not shown in the figure), respectively. The main water outlet is the same as the water outlet 212 in the above embodiments. Figure 2 The main water outlet can be arranged at the bottom 203 of the detergent box 20 and close to the opening 214, and the main water outlet can be located at the lowest position of the bottom 203 of the detergent box 20. In this way, whether it is the cleaning water after flushing the detergent through the water inlet 211 or the circulating water after passing through the filter 10, it can quickly flow to the main water outlet at the lowest position to improve the circulating efficiency and thus improve the cleaning efficiency. The sub-water outlet can also be arranged at the bottom 203 of the detergent box 20 and close to the filter area 32. The sub-water outlet is used to install a flow meter, and the sub-water outlet can be communicated with the main water outlet through a pipeline located outside the detergent box 20. The flow meter is used to monitor the flow of water falling from the filter area 32, so that whether the filter area 32 is blocked can be monitored. Once blocked, feedback can be given to the user to remind the user to clean the impurities in the filter area 32 in time.

[0066] In the process of circulating the water, the micro-particles in the circulating water are filtered by the filter 10 to avoid pollution to the environment caused by discharging the circulating water containing micro-particles. Some impurities larger than the micro-particles, such as thread ends, hair balls, paper scraps and the like, can also be filtered by the filter 10 to avoid the attachment of impurities on the objects after washing, for example, to avoid the attachment of paper scraps on the surface of the clothes after washing.

[0067] In summary, in the detergent box assembly 100 and the clothes treatment apparatus 1000 of the embodiments of the present application, the fixing nozzle 12 of the filter 10 is detachably connected in the mounting hole 323 of the distributor 30, so that the filter 10 can be detached from the distributor 30 to facilitate the cleaning of the micro-particles in the flexible filter bag 11 after being detached to avoid the blockage of the filter by the micro-particles.
