DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application, and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application occasions.

[0039] It should be noted that in the description of the present application, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer" and the like indicating the direction or positional relationship are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of description, and does not indicate or imply that the related devices or elements must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. In addition, the ordinal numbers "first", "second" and the like are only for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0040] In addition, it needs to be explained that, in the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection or integral connection; it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; it can be direct connection, or indirect connection through intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] It needs to be explained that the washing equipment in the present application includes but is not limited to laundry treating equipment such as washing machine, shoe washing machine, etc. The washing machine is taken as an example for description in the present embodiment.

[0042] Firstly, referring to Figures 1 to 7 , the cover of the washing machine of the present application is described, as shown in Figure 1 and 2 , the cover of the washing machine of the present application comprises a cover main body 1 and a dispensing box 2, wherein the cover main body 1 comprises an upper cover body 11 and a lower cover body 12, the upper cover body 11 and the lower cover body 12 are connected and buckled together, a cavity is formed in the middle, the cavity contains a water inlet pipeline 13, the lower cover body 12 is provided with a water inlet 121, the water inlet pipeline 13 communicates with the water inlet 121, so as to provide water for the washing drum during the washing process. Further, the dispensing box 2 is hingedly installed on the inner side wall of the lower cover body 12. In a preferred installation mode, the inner side wall of the lower cover body 12 is provided with a mounting seat, the mounting seat is provided with a mounting hole, the dispensing box 2 is provided with a shaft hole, the mounting hole and the shaft hole are matched, and the two are hingedly connected through the rotating shaft arranged therein, so that the dispensing box 2 can be kept in a vertical hanging state by its own gravity even when it does not contain detergent; when it contains detergent, the dispensing box 2 is kept in a vertical hanging state by the action of the detergent and its own gravity, so that the detergent in the dispensing box 2 is not easy to spill during the opening and closing rotation of the cover.

[0043] Further, in the present embodiment, the mounting hole on the mounting seat has a gap, when the dispensing box 2 needs to be cleaned or replaced, the rotating shaft together with the dispensing box 2 can be directly pulled out from the gap; when mounted, the rotating shaft together with the dispensing box 2 is clamped into the mounting hole from the gap; in this way, the dispensing box 2 is convenient to disassemble and replace, and easier to clean and disinfect, so as to avoid bacteria breeding due to accumulation of residues and dirt in the dispensing box 2.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the dispensing box 2 is located below the water inlet 121, allowing water to directly enter the dispensing box 2 through the water inlet 121. It should be noted that the water inlet 121 can also be connected to the dispensing box 2 via a pipe. When water is injected into the dispensing box 2 through the water inlet 121, the detergent is diluted after multiple rinses and injected into the washing drum. Compared to directly adding detergent to the washing drum, this improves the uniformity of the washing solution, resulting in better washing performance.

[0045] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 1 , 3 In one possible implementation, the opening edge of the dispensing box 2 is provided with a guide plate 21, so that when the detergent in the dispensing box 2 is rinsed by water, the water flow can flow into the washing drum along the guide plate 21. Specifically, as shown in section 5... Figure 5 As shown, the diversion plate 21 is an inclined plate that opens outward at the edge of the opening of the dispensing box 2. When the water flows to wash the detergent, the solution in the dispensing box 2 can flow into the washing drum along the direction of the inclined plate to prevent water from splashing.

[0046] Furthermore, since a certain amount of residual liquid remains in the dispensing box 2 after rinsing with water, this residual liquid can cause stains on the bottom of the dispensing box 2, affecting the user experience. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, the dispensing box 2 is equipped with a siphon assembly 22 to drain the residual solution. Specifically, the siphon assembly 22 includes a siphon tube 221 and a siphon cap 222, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the first end 2211 of the siphon tube 221 is connected to and penetrates the bottom wall of the dispensing box 2. The siphon cap 222 covers the second end 2212 of the siphon tube 221. It should be noted that the first end 2211 and the second end 2212 of the siphon tube 221 are its two ends, namely its water intake end and water outlet end, respectively. The liquid in the dispensing box 2 is siphoned from inside the dispensing box 2 into the washing drum. There is a gap between the siphon cap 222 and the outer wall of the siphon tube 221 to generate the siphon effect, and the siphon cap 222 is provided with a maximum water level indicator for user convenience.

[0047] Specifically, please refer to Figure 6 When the liquid level in dispensing box 2 reaches Figure 6 When the water level reaches the height of the first end 2211, the siphon effect begins to occur. The arrow indicates the direction of water flow. When water begins to enter through the inlet 121 in the direction shown by the arrow, the liquid level in the dispensing box 2 begins to rise. The liquid gradually enters the gap formed between the siphon cap 222 and the siphon tube 221 in the direction of the arrow. When the liquid level in the dispensing box 2 reaches... Figure 6When the height of the first end 2211 in the liquid reaches a certain height, the liquid gradually enters the siphon pipe 221 and flows out along the siphon pipe 221; after the water inlet is completed, the last box of liquid is thrown into the washing drum along the siphon pipe 221 under the action of the siphon assembly 22.

[0048] Please refer to Figures 2-3 and Figure 4 In an embodiment, the outer side of the dispensing box 2 is sleeved with a protective cover 3, one side of the protective cover 3 is fixedly connected to the lower cover body 12, and the fixing mode can be welding, riveting, bolt connection, etc., or can be integrally formed with the machine cover body 1. On the one hand, the protective cover 3 can protect the structure of the dispensing box 2, especially the hinge part of the dispensing box 2, so that the dispensing box 2 is not easily damaged by external impact; on the other hand, the protective cover 3 has an arc surface 31 on the bottom wall, which can guide the flow direction of the water flow to prevent the water flow from splashing.

[0049] Further, as shown in Figure 2 , when the machine cover body 1 is in an open state, the protective cover 3 can completely accommodate the dispensing box 2 therein; when the machine cover body 1 rotates relative to the washing equipment, since the protective cover 3 is fixedly installed on the machine cover body 1, the protective cover 3 rotates together with the machine cover body 1, and at this time the dispensing box 2 still maintains a vertical hanging state, and the dispensing box 2 gradually exposes the protective cover 3; as shown in Figure 3 , according to actual processing needs, when the machine cover body 1 is in a closed state, the dispensing box 2 can be fully exposed outside the protective cover 3 or can be partially exposed outside the protective cover 3.

[0050] Further, a plurality of through holes 32 are arranged at the edge of the bottom wall of the protective cover 3 away from the machine cover body. The water flow flows down along the arc surface 31, enters the through holes 32, and then falls into the washing drum. The through holes 32 play a role of flow guide holes on the one hand, and can prevent residual liquid at the bottom of the arc surface 31 on the other hand. Further, the plurality of through holes 32 are uniformly and spacedly arranged along the length direction of the edge of the bottom wall. During the washing of clothes in the washing drum, the washing liquid flowing down along the protective cover 3 flows through the through holes 32 and disperses to cooperate with the rotation of the washing drum, so that the dissolution of the detergent in the washing drum is more uniform, and the washing effect is better. Please refer to Figure 6 , the arrow direction represents the direction of the water flow. When the water inlet 121 starts to supply water in the direction indicated by the arrow, the detergent in the dispensing box 2 is ejected in the direction indicated by the arrow and is dispensed into the washing drum. After the water inlet is completed, the last box of liquid is thrown into the washing drum along the siphon pipe 221 under the action of the siphon assembly 22.

[0051] In an embodiment, when the machine cover body 1 is in a fully open state, the opening plane of the dispensing box 2 is perpendicular to the inner wall surface of the machine cover body 1, so that it is more convenient for the user to pour the detergent into the dispensing box 2 and it is not easy to spill out.

[0052] Further, the dispensing box 2 is arranged at the center of the lower cover 12, which is more uniform in comparison with other positions when the detergent is poured out.

[0053] The embodiment of the present application also provides a washing machine, which comprises a washing drum, a disc seat 4 arranged on the washing drum, a machine cover of any of the above embodiments rotatably connected to the disc seat 4, and a clothes feeding port arranged on the disc seat 4, clothes fed from the clothes feeding port entering the washing drum. The washing machine has all the advantages of the machine cover of any of the above embodiments, and has a better washing effect.

[0054] So far, the technical solutions of the present application have been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but those skilled in the art can easily understand that the protection scope of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the related technical features without departing from the principles of the present application, and the technical solutions after the changes or replacements will all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
