Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to accessories for washing machines, and in particular relates to a container for clothing treatment agents. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are still many drum washing machines on the market that do not have an automatic system for dispensing laundry products, or do not have a system for dispensing laundry treatment agents including laundry detergent and softener. Therefore, due to the structural limitations of the drum washing machine, users usually need to bend over to pour the laundry treatment agent into the washing tub, which is extremely inconvenient, especially for the elderly. Sometimes, the laundry treatment agent may spill and stain the floor.

[0003] Therefore, the above problem is currently solved by using containers such as laundry balls. However, since the laundry balls have many holes, the clothing treatment agent is easily flushed out of the holes in large quantities when it just comes into contact with water, which can easily cause certain damage to clothes made of special fabrics, especially wool and silk clothes.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a clothing treatment agent container. By pre-adding clothing treatment agent into the clothing treatment agent container, the clothing treatment agent container can be directly put into the washing drum of the washing machine when washing clothes, without the need for the user to bend down to pour the clothing treatment agent into the washing drum. A liquid-absorbing material for absorbing the clothing treatment agent is provided in the cavity of the clothing treatment agent container. The liquid-absorbing material contacts water through an open opening, so that the clothing treatment agent in the cavity is slowly and evenly released and dissolved during the washing process of the drum washing machine, and is fully and completely dissolved during the washing process, thereby protecting clothes made of special fabrics while ensuring the washing effect.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0007] The present invention provides a clothing treatment agent container, comprising:

[0008] The laundry treatment agent container has an open opening, and a liquid absorbing material for absorbing the laundry treatment agent is arranged in the cavity of the laundry treatment agent container;

[0009] The liquid absorbing material contacts water through the opening and releases the absorbed clothes treating agent into the water.

[0010] The present invention adds clothing treatment agent in advance to a clothing treatment agent container. When washing clothes, the clothing treatment agent container can be directly put into the washing tub of the washing machine without the need for the user to bend over to pour the clothing treatment agent into the washing tub. A liquid absorbing material for absorbing the clothing treatment agent is provided in the cavity of the clothing treatment agent container. The liquid absorbing material contacts water through an open opening, so that the clothing treatment agent in the cavity is slowly and evenly dissolved and released during the washing process of the drum washing machine, and is fully and completely dissolved during the washing process, thereby protecting clothing made of special fabrics while ensuring the washing effect.

[0011] A further solution of the present invention is that the liquid-absorbing material in the cavity at least covers the opening.

[0012] A further solution of the present invention is that the liquid absorbing material fills the cavity.

[0013] In the above scheme, by arranging the liquid absorbing material in the cavity, the clothes treating agent in the cavity is completely immersed in the liquid absorbing material, and the clothes treating agent is further slowly and evenly dissolved and released during the washing process of the drum washing machine.

[0014] A further solution of the present invention is that the laundry treatment agent container is further provided with an opening communicating with the cavity.

[0015] In the above scheme, by providing an opening connected to the cavity, water flows not only from the open opening into the liquid absorbing material, but also accelerates the dissolution rate of the clothing treatment agent in the liquid absorbing material, ensuring that the clothing treatment agent is fully and completely dissolved during the washing process.

[0016] A further solution of the present invention is that the opening remains closed under normal conditions;

[0017] The clothes treatment agent container is made of a soft material, and the clothes treatment agent container is deformed by external force, so that the opening is opened;

[0018] When the external force is released, the shape of the laundry treatment agent container is restored, and the opening returns to the closed state.

[0019] A further solution of the present invention is that the opening is a cut extending along a straight line for a certain length, and when the laundry treatment agent container is squeezed and deformed by an external force, two sides of the cut can move away from each other to open the opening.

[0020] In the above scheme, by setting the opening as a cut extending a certain length along a straight line, when the clothing treatment agent container is deformed by external force, the two sides of the cut can move away from each other, so that the opening can be opened by being squeezed by clothes during the washing process of the drum washing machine.

[0021] A further solution of the present invention is that the outer wall of the laundry treatment agent container has a placement surface parallel to the opening.

[0022] A further solution of the present invention is that the laundry treatment agent container has a cavity wall with a spherical segment profile, the opening is formed at the bottom of the spherical segment, and the outer peripheral surface of the cavity wall has a section parallel to the plane where the opening is located as a placement surface.

[0023] In the above scheme, by providing a section parallel to the plane where the opening is located on the outer peripheral surface of the spherical cavity wall as a placement surface, the laundry treatment agent container can be placed upright, making it convenient for users to pour the laundry treatment agent into the cavity.

[0024] A further solution of the present invention is that an opening communicating with the cavity is provided on the placement surface.

[0025] In the above scheme, an opening communicating with the cavity is provided on the placement surface, and the opening and the opening are arranged opposite to each other, so that water can flow unidirectionally through the opening and the opening, thereby achieving the goal that the water flow fully and completely dissolves and releases the clothing treatment agent in the liquid-absorbing material between the opening and the opening.

[0026] After adopting the above technical scheme, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0027] 1. By adding clothes treatment agent in advance to the clothes treatment agent container, the clothes treatment agent container can be directly put into the washing tub of the washing machine when washing clothes, without the need for the user to bend down to pour the clothes treatment agent into the washing tub;

[0028] 2. The liquid absorbing material for absorbing the clothing treatment agent is arranged in the cavity of the clothing treatment agent container. The liquid absorbing material contacts water through the opening, so that the clothing treatment agent in the cavity is slowly and evenly released and dissolved during the washing process of the drum washing machine, thereby protecting the clothing of special fabrics;

[0029] 3. By providing an opening connected to the cavity, water flows not only from the open opening into the liquid absorbing material, but also accelerates the dissolution rate of the clothing treatment agent in the liquid absorbing material, ensuring that the clothing treatment agent is fully and completely dissolved during the washing process, thereby ensuring the washing effect;

[0030] 4. The flat-bottomed hemispherical cavity is provided with a placement surface, so that the laundry treatment agent container can be placed upright, making it convenient for the user to pour the laundry treatment agent into the cavity.

[0031] The specific implementation modes of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0040] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a clothing treatment agent container 1. By adding clothing treatment agent in advance into the clothing treatment agent container 1, the clothing treatment agent container 1 can be directly put into the washing tub of the washing machine when washing clothes, without the need for the user to bend over to pour the clothing treatment agent into the washing tub. A liquid absorbing material 2 for absorbing the clothing treatment agent is provided in the cavity of the clothing treatment agent container 1. The liquid absorbing material 2 contacts water through an opening 15, so that the clothing treatment agent in the cavity is slowly and evenly released and dissolved during the washing process of the drum washing machine, and is fully and completely dissolved during the washing process, thereby protecting clothes made of special fabrics while ensuring the washing effect.

[0042] Embodiment 1

[0043] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a laundry treatment agent container 1, comprising:

[0044] The laundry treatment agent container 1 has an open opening 15, and a liquid absorbing material 2 for absorbing the laundry treatment agent is disposed in the cavity of the laundry treatment agent container 1;

[0045] The liquid absorbing material 2 comes into contact with water through the opening 15 and releases the absorbed clothing treating agent into the water.

[0046] In this embodiment, the clothing treatment agent container 1 is preferably made of rubber.

[0047] Specifically, the provision of the liquid-absorbing material 2 prevents the clothing treatment agent from being quickly released during the washing process of the drum washing machine, thereby preventing damage to clothing made of special materials including wool and silk.

[0048] Therefore, by adding clothing treatment agent in advance to the clothing treatment agent container 1, the clothing treatment agent container 1 can be directly put into the washing tub of the washing machine when washing clothes, without the need for the user to bend down to pour the clothing treatment agent into the washing tub. The liquid absorbent material 2 for absorbing the clothing treatment agent is provided in the cavity of the clothing treatment agent container 1. The liquid absorbent material 2 contacts with water through the opening 15, so that the clothing treatment agent in the cavity is slowly and evenly dissolved and released during the washing process of the drum washing machine, and is fully and completely dissolved during the washing process, thereby protecting clothes made of special fabrics while ensuring the washing effect.

[0049] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the liquid-absorbing material 2 in the cavity at least covers the opening 15 .

[0050] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the liquid absorbing material 2 fills the cavity.

[0051] Specifically, the liquid absorbing material 2 is a soft porous material, which can slowly release the laundry liquid therein during the washing process of the washing machine, so that the clothes are evenly contacted with the laundry liquid. More specifically, the liquid absorbing material 2 is a soft porous material made of foam or silicone, so that the rubber material clothing treatment agent container 1 is deformed due to the movement and squeezing of the clothes during the washing process of the drum washing machine, thereby squeezing the liquid absorbing material 2 made of foam or silicone, so that the laundry liquid in the liquid absorbing material 2 is more and more quickly contacted with water and dissolved.

[0052] Therefore, by arranging the liquid absorbing material 2 in the cavity, the clothes treating agent in the cavity is completely immersed in the liquid absorbing material 2, and the clothes treating agent is further slowly and evenly dissolved and released during the washing process of the drum washing machine.

[0053] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the laundry treatment agent container 1 is further provided with an opening 14 communicating with the cavity.

[0054] By providing the opening 14 communicating with the cavity, water flows not only from the opening 15 into the liquid absorbing material 2, but also accelerates the dissolution rate of the clothing treatment agent in the liquid absorbing material 2, thereby ensuring that the clothing treatment agent is fully and completely dissolved during the washing process.

[0055] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the opening 14 remains closed under normal conditions;

[0056] The laundry treatment agent container 1 is made of a soft material, and the laundry treatment agent container 1 is deformed by external force, so that the opening 14 is opened;

[0057] When the external force is removed, the shape of the laundry treatment agent container 1 is restored, and the opening 14 returns to the closed state.

[0058] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the opening 14 is a cut extending along a straight line for a certain length. When the laundry treatment agent container 1 is squeezed and deformed by an external force, the two sides of the cut can move away from each other to open the opening 14 .

[0059] By setting the opening 14 as a cut extending a certain length along a straight line, when the laundry treatment agent container 1 is squeezed and deformed by external force, the two sides of the cut can move away from each other, so that the opening 14 can be opened by being squeezed by the laundry during the washing process of the drum washing machine.

[0060] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the placement surface 13 is provided with an opening 14 which is longer than its diameter.

[0061] The placement surface 13 is provided with an opening 14 that is longer than its diameter, which further ensures that the opening 14 can allow sufficient water to fully and completely dissolve the clothing treatment agent in the liquid-absorbing material 2 .

[0062] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the outer wall of the laundry treatment agent container 1 has a placement surface 13 parallel to the opening 15 .

[0063] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the laundry treatment agent container has a cavity wall with a spherical segment profile, the bottom surface of the spherical segment forms the opening 15, and the outer peripheral surface of the cavity wall has a section parallel to the plane where the opening 15 is located as a placement surface 13.

[0064] The flat-bottomed hemispherical cavity is provided with a placement surface 13 so that the laundry treatment agent container 1 can be placed upright, making it convenient for the user to pour the laundry treatment agent into the cavity.

[0065] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the spherical cavity is preferably a flat-bottomed hemispherical cavity. The apex of the rubber container close to the hemispherical shape is cut into a plane parallel to the opening arranged at the upper middle part of the hemispherical shape by a cutting process. The opening 15 is preferably arranged in the middle of the central axis of the hemispherical shape. The plane is provided with a placement surface 13, and the circumferentially surrounding connecting portion 12. The placement surface 13 is raised from the plane or flush with the plane, so that the clothing treatment agent container 1 can be placed more stably upright. More specifically, the connecting portion 12 is made of non-slip material such as silica gel, so that the clothing treatment agent container 1 can be placed more stably upright.

[0066] In this embodiment, the placement surface 13 is provided with an opening 14 communicating with the cavity.

[0067] By providing an opening 14 communicating with the cavity on the placement surface 13, the opening 14 and the opening 15 are arranged opposite to each other, so that water can flow through the opening 14 and the opening 15 in one direction, thereby achieving the full and complete dissolution and release of the clothes treatment agent in the liquid-absorbing material 2 between the opening 14 and the opening 15. In detail, according to the different directions from which the water flow impacts the clothes treatment agent container 1 during the washing process of the drum washing machine, the water flow can pass through, or flow through the opening 15 to the opening 14, achieving the one-way flow of the water flow, which is more conducive to the full and complete dissolution and release of the clothes treatment agent in the liquid-absorbing material 2.

[0068] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a scale line 11 is protruded on the side wall of the laundry treatment agent container 1, and the scale line 11 is parallel to the plane where the opening 15 is located, so that the user can easily grasp the amount of laundry treatment material poured into the cavity.

[0069] Specifically, the scale lines 11 are arranged on two opposite sides of the side wall of the laundry treatment agent container 1 .

[0070] More specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the scale line 11 has a raised connection part 111, a rounded corner 112 and a top surface 113, the raised connection part 111 is raised from the outer wall of the cavity, the raised connection part 111 is gently curved to connect the rounded corner 112, so that the side wall of the scale line 11 and the outer wall of the second shell are smoothly connected, thereby reducing the impact of the water flow on the cavity, the rounded corner 112 smoothly connects the side wall of the scale line 11 and the top surface 113 of the scale line 11 outward, the raised connection part 111 and the rounded corner 112, so that the scale line 11 can be higher and more convex on the cavity, which is convenient for users to observe the scale on the scale line 11, and will not scratch the user because it is too sharp, so that the clothing treatment agent container 1 is practical and safe. Specifically, the cavity is made of rubber, and the scale line 11 is produced at a low cost through a vulcanization molding process.

[0071] In this embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the working process of the laundry treatment container is as follows: after pouring the laundry treatment agent into the liquid absorbing material 2, the laundry treatment agent container 1 is placed into the washing drum of the drum washing machine;

[0072] In the washing process of the drum washing machine, the washing drum rotates, and the clothes and / or water flow squeeze the side wall of the laundry treatment agent container 1, so that the laundry treatment agent container 1 is deformed and the opening 14 is opened;

[0073] Water with a low content of clothing treatment agent continuously flows in from the opening 14 to flush out the clothing treatment agent in the liquid absorbing material 2, thereby preventing the detergent from directly contacting the clothing. The clothing treatment agent dissolves in the water flow slowly and evenly, thereby protecting the fabric of the clothing while ensuring the washing effect.

[0074] In this embodiment, by pre-adding clothing treatment agent to the clothing treatment agent container 1, the clothing treatment agent container 1 can be directly put into the washing tub of the washing machine during washing, without the need for the user to bend over to pour the clothing treatment agent into the washing tub; the clothing treatment agent container 1 is provided with a liquid absorbing material 2 for absorbing the clothing treatment agent in the cavity, and the liquid absorbing material 2 contacts water through the opening 15, so that the clothing treatment agent in the cavity is slowly and evenly released and dissolved during the washing process of the drum washing machine, thereby protecting clothing made of special fabrics; by providing an opening 14 connected to the cavity, water flows not only from the opening 15 into the liquid absorbing material 2, but also accelerates the dissolution rate of the clothing treatment agent in the liquid absorbing material 2, thereby ensuring that the clothing treatment agent is fully and completely dissolved during the washing process, thereby ensuring the washing effect; the flat-bottomed hemispherical cavity is provided with a placement surface 13, so that the clothing treatment agent container 1 can be placed upright, which is convenient for the user to pour the clothing treatment agent into the cavity.

[0075] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this patent can make some changes or modify the technical contents suggested above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still fall within the scope of the solution of the present invention.
