It is necessary to add more or less detergent manually each time, which is not conducive to fully removing scale from clothes, and the laundry detergent needs to be stored somewhere after use. On the other hand, each time a user takes off a single piece of dirty clothes, it will not be washed immediately, but will be directly put into the clothing processing equipment or buy a dirty clothes basket. The dirty clothes basket will take up more space. After putting the dirty clothes into the dirty clothes basket, if it is not washed for a long time due to reasons such as the user forgetting, it will produce more and more bacteria and unpleasant odors.

[0041] To solve the above technical problems, first refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The present invention provides a multifunctional cabinet, which includes a cabinet body 1 and a detergent dispensing module 5, the detergent dispensing module 5 is installed on the inner wall of the cabinet body 1, and a detergent placement area 9 and a clothing placement area 8 are arranged in the cabinet body 1, the clothing placement area 8 is used to place clothing, the detergent placement area 9 is used to place a detergent container 16, the detergent container 16 is used to hold detergent for washing clothing, and the detergent dispensing module 5 is configured to be able to transport the detergent in the detergent container 16 to the outside of the cabinet body 1. In the present application, the detergent is in liquid state.

[0042] Specifically, an opening is provided on the front side wall of the cabinet 1 , through which the detergent container 16 is placed in the detergent placement area 9 and the clothes are placed in the clothes placement area 8 .

[0043] In one embodiment, an intelligent control module 3 is fixed on the cabinet 1, and the intelligent control module 3 includes a display, a controller and control buttons, and the display, the control buttons and the detergent dispensing module 5 are all connected to the controller.

Each support frame 141 is provided with a sliding hole, and a second bolt 144 is fixed on the side wall of the L-shaped angle code 143. The second bolt 144 passes through the sliding hole and is connected to the nut to fix the L-shaped angle code 143 and the support frame 141. When the nut is loosened, the L-shaped angle code 143 can be moved along the trajectory of the sliding hole, thereby realizing the adjustment function of the positions of the four L-shaped angle codes 143, improving the adaptability, and being suitable for fixation with more types of clothing processing equipment.

[0066] It should be noted that, although the connection component 14 described above adopts the cooperation of the support frame 141 and the L-shaped angle code 143 to realize the connection with the clothing processing device, this is not restrictive and can also be other structures. For example, the connection component 14 includes two U-shaped frames and four first bolts 142. The two U-shaped frames are fixed to the top of the cabinet 1 in parallel with each other. A plurality of spaced connection holes are provided on one side wall of the U-shaped frame. The first bolt 142 passes through one of the connection holes to be fixedly connected to the clothing processing device.

[0067] In addition, enclosures 15 are fixed to the front end, left end and right end of the top of the cabinet 1. When the clothing processing device is fixed on the cabinet 1, the enclosure 15 is aligned with the edge of the clothing processing, shielding the internal structure and making the overall appearance more neat and beautiful. The enclosure 15 is not set at the rear end of the cabinet 1, which is used to connect the first bolt 142 to the clothing processing device with the help of tools.

[0068] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows, taking the first retractor 7 and the second retractor 11 as electric slide rails as an example for explanation, when it is necessary to place dirty clothes in the clothes storage area in the cabinet 1, the first retractor 7 is started to make the storage bucket 13 extend from the opening to the outside of the cabinet 1, and the dirty clothes are placed in the clothes placement area 8, the first retractor 7 is retracted, and the dirty clothes are retracted into the cabinet 1, and when the clothes detector detects that there are clothes in the clothes placement area 8, the control disinfection module 12 is started to perform disinfection pretreatment; if the display shows a reminder message that the detergent is used up, the storage bucket 13 is also pulled out to put a new detergent container 16 For replacement; when washing clothes, when the clothes have been placed in the clothes processing device, the required set amount of detergent is determined according to the material and weight of the clothes, and then the detergent is sucked out from the detergent container 16 and injected into the connecting pipe through the delivery pump according to the set amount of detergent, and then the detergent is diluted by the water flow and follows the water flow into the clothes processing device, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic detergent delivery; when the clothes are taken out of the clothes processing device for drying, the second telescopic device 11 is started to drive the storage plate 6 to extend from the opening to the outside of the cabinet 1, and then the household basin is placed on the storage plate 6, so that the clothes can be taken out and placed in the household basin for drying.

[0069] In addition, the present invention also provides a clothing processing device with a multifunctional cabinet, including a clothing processing device body and a multifunctional cabinet as described in any of the above technical solutions, the clothing processing device body is fixed at the top of the multifunctional cabinet, and the water inlet port of the clothing processing device is connected to the water outlet 54 of the detergent dispensing module 5.

The first bolt 142 is screwed into the threaded hole to achieve a fixed connection between the L-shaped angle code 143 and the washing machine.

[0071] In the above embodiment, the multifunction is fixed at the bottom of the clothing processing equipment without taking up additional space, and the automatic detergent dispensing function is realized with the cooperation of the multifunction cabinet and the clothing processing equipment, which provides convenience for the use of clothing processing equipment that does not have the automatic dispensing function, without the need for users to manually add detergent, thereby improving the user experience.

[0072] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a detergent dispensing method for a multifunctional cabinet and a clothing processing device, comprising a multifunctional cabinet and a clothing processing device, wherein the multifunctional cabinet comprises a cabinet body 1 and a detergent dispensing module 5 arranged in the cabinet body 1, wherein a detergent placement area 9 is provided in the cabinet body 1 for placing a detergent container 16, wherein a water inlet 53 of the detergent dispensing module 5 is connected to a water supply pipe, and a water outlet 54 of the detergent dispensing module 5 is connected to a water inlet port of the clothing processing device, wherein the detergent dispensing module 5 can inject the detergent in the detergent container 16 into the water flow flowing from the water inlet 53 to the water outlet 54, and the detergent dispensing method comprises:

[0073] When water is injected into the clothes processing device, the detergent dispensing module 5 is controlled to start;

[0074] Determining whether a detergent dispensing instruction is received;

[0075] When receiving a detergent dispensing instruction, determining the amount of detergent to be used for this washing according to the clothing parameters;

[0076] The detergent injection module 5 is controlled to inject detergent into the water flow according to the determined detergent injection amount.

[0077] It should be noted that the clothing parameters include clothing weight and clothing material, but this is only an example and can be flexibly designed according to design requirements and usage needs. For example, the clothing weight is obtained by a weight sensor set in the clothing processing device, a camera is used to capture the clothing image in the inner drum of the clothing processing device, and the clothing material is obtained by image analysis technology. Therefore, this technology is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.
