Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of washing machine technology, and in particular to a laundry detergent pod dispensing device and a washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Drum washing machine detergents are mainly divided into three types: laundry powder (fixed powder), laundry liquid (liquid), and laundry pods (laundry liquid wrapped in an outer film).

[0003] Laundry detergent pods are bead-shaped laundry products that encapsulate a single wash's worth of detergent within a soluble outer membrane. When the pod comes into contact with water, the outer membrane dissolves, releasing the detergent. One laundry detergent pod can wash a whole load of clothes, offering convenience and preventing messy hands, and its use is becoming increasingly widespread.

[0004] However, because the detergent dispenser and the outer drum are connected by a corrugated pipe, the tortuous nature of the corrugated pipe makes it easy for laundry detergent pods to get clogged in the corrugated pipe, causing poor water intake or even water overflow.

[0005] Currently, laundry detergent pods can only be added through the clothing add-in port. However, the pods have a protective film on the outside, and it takes time for them to completely dissolve in water. Because front-loading washing machines use less water during washing, the pods often remain undissolved after the wash cycle ends, leaving residue.

[0006] In addition, the rubber seal on the front door of a drum washing machine is wrinkled. Because laundry detergent pods are dropped in haphazardly, they may fall into the rubber seal's recess as the spin-dry tub rotates. This recess contains less water, requiring a longer dissolution time, and any undissolved, broken pod skins can remain in the rubber seal's recess on the side of the washing machine door. These can stick to clothes when they are taken out, causing secondary contamination. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of this, the first objective of the present invention is to provide a laundry detergent pod dispensing device, which aims to solve the problem of secondary pollution of clothes caused by incompletely dissolved laundry detergent pods.

Detailed Implementation

[0060] The following will refer to the appendices in the embodiments of the present invention. Figures 1-8 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0061] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "top surface," "bottom surface," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the indicated position or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations of the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0062] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a laundry detergent pod dispensing device 100 for use in a washing machine to solve the problem of secondary pollution of clothes caused by incompletely dissolved laundry detergent pods.

[0063] The laundry pod dispensing device 100 includes a box body 101, an inlet cover 102, and a pod piercing device 103. Specifically, as shown in the figure... Figure 6 As shown, the box 101 is square. It should be noted that the shape of the box 101 is not limited to square, but can be any other shape.

[0064] The housing 101 is fixed to the inner wall of the washing machine. Understandably, the inner wall of the washing machine refers to all surfaces within the washing chamber formed by the washing machine's casing. Specifically, when the washing machine is a front-loading washing machine, the inner wall refers to the spin-drying inner drum 200. When the washing machine is a top-loading washing machine, the inner wall refers to the inner wall of the washing chamber. To facilitate replacement of the housing 101, this invention discloses a detachable connection between the housing 101 and the inner wall of the washing machine.

[0065] The housing 101 and the inner wall of the washing machine form an installation cavity. The housing 101 has a condensate droplet inlet 101a and a first connecting hole 101b. The condensate droplet inlet 101a is used to dispense condensate droplets, and the first connecting hole 101b allows liquid to pass through. It should be noted that the number of condensate droplet inlet holes 101a and the first connecting hole 101b is unlimited and can be set as needed. The size of the first connecting hole 101b is smaller than the size of the condensate droplet inlet hole 101a to prevent condensate droplets entering the installation cavity from exiting through the first connecting hole 101b.

[0066] The inlet shield 102 can be installed inside the housing 101 to shield or expose the condensate inlet hole 101a.

[0067] The bead puncture device 103 is installed inside the housing 101 and is used to puncture the bead that enters the installation cavity.

[0068] The laundry detergent pod dispensing device 100 provided by this invention is installed on the inner wall of a washing machine. When detergent pods need to be dispensed, the inlet cover 102 is moved along the box 101 to expose the detergent pod inlet hole 101a. The detergent pods are then inserted into the mounting cavity formed by the box 101 and the inner wall of the washing machine through the detergent pod inlet hole 101a, allowing the detergent pod piercing member 103 inside the box 101 to pierce the detergent pods inside the mounting cavity. Because the box 101 has a first through hole 101b, the liquid inside the pierced detergent pods flows out and into the washing machine through the first through hole 101b, preventing secondary contamination of clothes due to incomplete dissolution of the detergent pods.

[0069] In some embodiments, the laundry pod dispensing device 100 further includes a button 104, such as Figure 5As shown, button 104 can be slidably installed inside box 101, and inlet cover 102 is installed on button 104. Button 104 slides along box 101, causing inlet cover 102 to cover or expose condensate inlet hole 101a.

[0070] When button 104 slides along the box 101, the inlet blocking member 102 can move with button 104 to block or expose the condensate inlet hole 101a.

[0071] To facilitate the dispensing of condensate beads, this invention discloses that the number of condensate bead dispensing holes 101a is at least one. When the number of condensate bead dispensing holes 101a is greater than or equal to two, the condensate bead dispensing holes 101a can be all opened on one side of the box body 101, or they can be opened on both sides of the box body 101. Taking a square box body 101 as an example, as... Figure 6 As shown, a condensate droplet inlet 101a is provided on each side of the box body 101. Correspondingly, the inlet blocking member 102 corresponds to the condensate droplet inlet 101a and is used to block the condensate droplet inlet 101a located on both sides of the box body 101.

[0072] Furthermore, the present invention discloses that the button 104 includes a pressing part 104a and an elastic reset member 104b, and the housing 101 is provided with a sliding hole 101c that is slidably connected to the side wall of the pressing part 104a. Specifically, the sliding hole 101c is provided on the top wall of the housing 101.

[0073] The elastic reset member 104b is in a compressed state and located within the mounting cavity. One end of the elastic reset member 104b abuts against or connects to the pressing part 104a, and the other end of the elastic reset member 104b abuts against or connects to the inner wall of the washing machine. Specifically, the elastic reset member 104b is a spring. It can be understood that the elastic reset member 104b being a spring is only one specific embodiment of the present invention. In practical applications, the elastic reset member 104b can also be set to other elastic members capable of resetting the button 104.

[0074] The inlet blocking member 102 is fixed to the pressing part 104a so that the inlet blocking member moves as the button 104 slides. Under normal conditions, the inlet blocking member 102 blocks the condensate bead inlet hole 101a. It should be noted that normal conditions refer to the state when the button 104 is not pressed by external force, that is, when there is no need to add condensate beads.

[0075] When the condensate beads are added, the pressing part 104a is pressed, which compresses the elastic reset member 104b to move the inlet blocking member 102 to expose the condensate bead inlet hole 101a.

[0076] To prevent button 104 from scratching clothes during washing, the pressing part 104a is normally flush with the top of the box body 101. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connection between the top wall and the side wall of the box 101 and the connection between adjacent side walls are all transitioned by rounded corners.

[0077] To facilitate pressing the button 104, the present invention discloses that the top end of the pressing part 104a is provided with a pressing groove 104a-1 for pressing with a finger. The pressing groove 104a-1 is an arc-shaped groove whose shape matches the shape of the finger.

[0078] It should be noted that the method is not limited to the use of button 104; other structures can also be used, such as a pull button. Specifically, the pull button includes a pull part and an elastic connector in a stretched state. The elastic connector is located in the mounting cavity, and one end of the elastic connector is connected to the inner wall of the washing machine, while the other end is connected to the pull part. The pull part can be slidably mounted on the box body 101. The inlet cover 102 is mounted on the pull part. The top of the pull part is provided with a limiting protrusion that abuts against the top wall of the box body 101. Under normal conditions, under the pulling force of the elastic connector, the pull part is stuck on the box body 101. At this time, the inlet cover 102 blocks the condensate inlet hole 101a. When condensate needs to be added, the pull button is pulled away from the box body 101, causing the inlet cover to be exposed in the condensate inlet hole 101a.

[0079] In some embodiments, the button 104 further includes a receiving portion 104c connected to the pressing portion 104a, and an inlet blocking member 102 is fixed on the receiving portion 104c. In order to facilitate manufacturing, the present invention discloses that the pressing portion 104a, the receiving portion 104c and the inlet blocking member 102 are integrally formed and connected.

[0080] The inlet shield 102 and the receiving part 104c are arranged to form a receiving groove 105 for receiving condensate beads. The bottom of the receiving groove 105 is provided with a second through hole 105a for liquid to pass through. Specifically, the number of second through holes 105a is not limited and can be set according to the specific needs.

[0081] The condensate bead puncture member 103 is fixed to the inner wall of the box body 101 and is positioned facing the opening end of the receiving groove 105. When the elastic reset member 104b resets, the driving pressing part 104a moves the receiving groove 105 towards the condensate bead puncture member 103 to puncture the condensate bead inside the receiving groove 105. Specifically, the condensate bead puncture member 103 is needle-shaped to facilitate puncturing the condensate bead and releasing the liquid inside. By setting the condensate bead puncture member 103 on the inner wall of the box body 101, the present invention allows the condensate bead in the receiving groove 105 to move towards the condensate bead puncture member 103 when the elastic reset member 104b resets, thus puncturing the condensate bead. This avoids the need for a separate component to drive the movement of the condensate bead puncture member 103, reducing the number of parts and saving manpower.

[0082] The inlet shield 102 has a guide opening 102a that allows condensate beads to enter the receiving groove 105. When condensate beads are added, the guide opening 102a communicates with the condensate bead inlet hole. Specifically, the guide opening 102a is an arc-shaped recess at the top of the inlet shield. Since the condensate beads are spherical, the arc-shaped recess of the guide opening 102a facilitates the entry of the condensate beads into the receiving groove 105 along the guide opening 102a.

[0083] In some embodiments, the bottom of the receiving tank 105 is provided with a water flow channel 105b, the bottom of the tank is an inclined surface, and the water flow channel 105b is located at the bottommost end of the tank bottom, so that the liquid flowing out of the punctured condensate can be discharged from the receiving tank 105.

[0084] In some embodiments, a limiting member 101d is provided on the inner wall of the housing 101, which is a limiting pressing part 104a. The limiting member 101d abuts against the receiving part 104c to prevent the elastic force of the elastic reset member 104b from driving the pressing part 104a to slip out of the housing 101.

[0085] Furthermore, the present invention discloses that the limiting member 101d is a surrounding wall extending into the interior of the box body 101 along the sliding hole 101c. That is, the provision of the limiting member 101d increases the length of the sliding hole 101c, thereby increasing the sliding length of the pressing part 104a along the box body 101. The present invention achieves a sliding length of the pressing part 104a based on limiting the pressing part 104a.

[0086] In some embodiments, the box body 101 is installed on the spin-drying inner drum 200 of the washing machine. It should be noted that installing the box body 101 on the spin-drying inner drum 200 is only one specific embodiment of the present invention. In practical applications, the box body 101 can also be installed at other locations on the inner wall of the washing machine.

[0087] The laundry pod dispensing device 100 also includes a reset element mounting cover 106, such as Figure 8 As shown, the reset cover 106 is detachably mounted on the spin-dry inner drum 200 of the washing machine.

[0088] The end of the reset component mounting cover 106 facing the housing 101 has a limiting groove 106a for the limiting elastic reset component 104b, which facilitates the installation and positioning of the elastic reset component 104b.

[0089] When the condensate beads are added, the wall of the limiting groove 106a abuts against the pressing part 104a. That is, the limiting groove 106a can not only position and install the elastic reset part 104b, but also limit the downward displacement of the pressing part 104a, thus avoiding the need for a specially designed limiting device to limit the downward displacement of the pressing part 104a.

[0090] Furthermore, the present invention discloses that the reset component mounting cover 106 is made of an elastic material for easy installation. Specifically, the inner wall of the dehydration inner cylinder 200 is provided with a mounting hole, and the side wall of the reset component mounting cover 106 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 106b that engages with the wall of the mounting hole.

[0091] To facilitate the positioning and installation of the reset component mounting cover 106, the present invention discloses that a first positioning hole is provided on the wall of the dehydration inner cylinder 200, and a first positioning post 106c that is inserted into the first positioning hole is also provided on the reset component mounting cover 106.

[0092] In some embodiments, the present invention discloses that the inner wall of the dehydration cylinder 200 is provided with a threaded hole 201 that is threadedly connected to the box body 101. Specifically, a column with a threaded hole 201 is provided on the inner wall of the box body 101, and a screw passes through the inner wall of the dehydration cylinder 200 and is threadedly fastened to the threaded hole 201.

[0093] To facilitate the positioning of the box body 101, this invention discloses that the dehydration inner cylinder 200 has a second positioning hole 202, and the box body 101 is provided with a second positioning post 101e that is inserted into the second positioning hole 202, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the second positioning post 101e and the second positioning hole 202 are set in a one-to-one correspondence, with at least two of them.

[0094] In some embodiments, the inner dehydration cylinder 200 has a third through hole 203 on its wall, which communicates with the mounting cavity and allows liquid to pass through. Figure 7 As shown. The third connecting hole 203 is designed to facilitate the faster flow of liquid from the condensed beads into the washing machine. It should be noted that the number of third connecting holes 203 is not limited and can be set according to specific needs.

[0095] A second aspect of the present invention provides a washing machine, including a body, a spin-drying inner drum 200, and a laundry pod dispensing device 100 as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0096] The spin-dry inner drum 200 is installed inside the machine body, and the laundry pod dispensing device 100 is installed on the spin-dry inner drum 200.
