DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] As described in the background technology, in the solution of the related technology, since the dispenser box adopts the upper spray water inlet method, the water inlet point can only be set in the middle position of the dispenser box, but the washing powder or laundry liquid will float to various places in the dispenser box, and the washing powder or laundry liquid close to the side wall cannot contact the washing water, so that it cannot be dissolved and remains on the inner edge of the dispenser box.

[0032] In addition, the spray-type water inlet method makes it impossible for the washing powder or liquid to be fully dissolved in the washing water before being flushed into the washing drum. Since the washing powder or liquid releases heat when it dissolves, it may damage the clothes after contacting with the clothes in the washing drum. In addition, the washing time of the user is increased because the washing powder or liquid dissolves in the washing drum again.

[0033] In addition, when using the spray water supply method, after the water supply is completed, the spray port is very small and it is not easy to discharge without water pressure. The water remaining in the water inlet pipe will slowly and intermittently drip into the dispenser box under the action of gravity, thereby generating noise and affecting the user experience.

[0034] In view of this, the embodiment of the present application aims to provide a dispenser assembly and a washing machine, which are provided with a dissolution chamber with a gradually decreasing cross-sectional area, and the water inlet pipe is connected to the smallest cross-sectional area of ​​the lower end of the dissolution chamber, and the water inlet pipe is horizontally fed, so that the washing water spirals up in the dissolution chamber and is finally discharged from the drain port at the upper end of the dissolution chamber. The spirally rising washing water can flush the inner wall of the dissolution chamber to avoid residual washing powder or washing liquid in the dissolution chamber; and can increase the contact time between the washing powder or washing liquid and the washing water in the dissolution chamber, so that the washing powder or washing liquid can be fully dissolved in the washing water; because the water inlet method is changed, no noise will be generated after the water inlet is completed, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] Figure 1 is a front view of a dispenser assembly provided by an embodiment of the present application in a first state; Figure 2 is a front view of a dispenser assembly provided by an embodiment of the present application in a second state; Figure 3 is a top view of a dispenser assembly provided by an embodiment of the present application in a first state; Figure 4 1 is a top view of a dispenser assembly provided by an embodiment of the present application in a second state. In this embodiment, the first state is a state in which the dispenser box is inserted into the housing; the second state is a state in which the dispenser box is pulled out of the housing; the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are three different directions perpendicular to each other in a three-dimensional space, wherein the second direction Y can be, for example, a vertical direction.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 , this embodiment provides a distributor component, including:

[0038] The housing 100 has a housing chamber 110 formed therein, and the shape of the housing chamber 110 is adapted to the shape of the distributor box 200. A water inlet assembly 120 and a collection port 130 connected to the outer cylinder are provided in the housing chamber 110. Exemplarily, the housing chamber 110 may be substantially in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and an opening is provided on one side of the housing chamber 110 in the first direction X so as to insert or remove the distributor box 200. The water inlet assembly 120 is provided on a side wall opposite to the opening along the first direction X, and the collection port 130 is provided on the bottom wall of the housing chamber 110 along the second direction Y.

[0039] The dispenser box 200 is slidably disposed in the accommodating cavity 110. In this embodiment, the dispenser box 200 can slide in the accommodating cavity 110 along a first direction X. Along the first direction X, a handle hole 201 is formed on the surface of the dispenser box 200 away from the accommodating cavity 110. The handle hole 201 generally extends along a third direction Z, so that the user can put the dispenser box 200 into the accommodating cavity 110 or take it out of the accommodating cavity 110.

[0040] The dispenser box 200 includes a dissolution chamber 210, a water inlet pipe 220 and a drainage trough 230. Among them, the dissolution chamber 210 is arranged near the handle hole 201 along the first direction X so that the user can conveniently put in washing powder or washing liquid. The dissolution chamber 210 is in the shape of a truncated cone, and an opening 211 is provided at the upper end of the dissolution chamber 210. In the direction away from the opening 211 along the second direction Y, the cross-sectional area of ​​the dissolution chamber 210 gradually decreases; that is, the dissolution chamber 210 of this embodiment is an inverted truncated cone structure with a wide top and a narrow bottom. It should be noted that the shape of the dissolution chamber 210 of this embodiment is preferably truncated cone; other structures with a large upper cross-section and a small lower cross-section and capable of forming a water flow vortex can also be used. Along the second direction Y, the water inlet pipe 220 is located below the dissolution chamber 210. In this embodiment, the water inlet pipe 220 is located outside the drainage trough 230, and the water inlet pipe 220 can be a hose or a hard pipe, preferably, it can be integrally injection molded with the drainage trough 230. A drain port 212 is provided on the side wall of the dissolution chamber 210 facing the accommodating chamber 110, and the drain port 212 is arranged close to the opening 211. The drain groove 230 is located on the side of the dissolution chamber 210 facing the accommodating chamber 110 and is connected to the drain port 212. The drain groove 230 is also used to be connected to the collection port 130. When the water in the dissolution chamber 210 is full to the position of the opening 211, the washing water can overflow from the opening 211 into the drain groove 230, and finally pass into the outer drum through the collection port 130. In this embodiment, in the plane perpendicular to the first direction X, the cross section of the drain groove 230 can be U-shaped, inverted trapezoidal or V-shaped.

[0041] In this embodiment, the dissolution chamber 210 is provided with a structure with a gradually decreasing cross-sectional area, and the washing water enters horizontally from the bottom of the dissolution chamber 210, so that the washing water rises in a spiral in the dissolution chamber 210 and is finally discharged from the drain port 212 at the upper end of the dissolution chamber 210. This embodiment increases the contact time between the washing powder or the laundry liquid and the washing water in the dissolution chamber 210, so that the washing powder or the laundry liquid can be fully dissolved before being discharged into the outer drum, thereby reducing damage to the clothes. In addition, the spirally rising washing water can also flush the inner wall of the dissolution chamber 210 to avoid residual washing powder or the laundry liquid in the dissolution chamber 210. The washing water enters horizontally from the bottom of the dissolution chamber 210, and no noise is generated after the water intake is completed, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0042] In a possible implementation, a plurality of first rods 213 are further provided in the dissolution chamber 210 of this embodiment, and the plurality of first rods 213 are all arranged perpendicular to the side wall of the dissolution chamber 210. By arranging a plurality of first rods 213 on the side wall of the dissolution chamber 210, the washing water can contact the first rods 213 during the spiral rising process, and bubbles are generated when the washing water contacts the first rods 213 and the flow direction of part of the washing water is changed, thereby accelerating the dissolution rate of the washing powder or the washing liquid; in addition, the large particles of the washing powder will be crushed after contacting the first rods 213, which is conducive to accelerating the dissolution rate of the washing powder.

[0043] In this embodiment, the heights of different first rods 213 are different from each other along the axial direction (ie, the second direction Y) of the dissolution chamber 210. That is, only one first rod 213 is provided at each height, thereby minimizing the obstruction to the flow velocity of the washing water.

[0044] Furthermore, a filter screen 214 is provided on the side of the drain port 212 facing the accommodating chamber 110, and the filter screen 214 is located on the side away from the drain port 211 and shields part of the drain port 212. By providing the filter screen 214 in the drain port 212, it is possible to effectively prevent undissolved washing powder particles from entering the outer drum, thereby preventing the washing powder from dissolving in the drum and causing damage to the clothes.

[0045] Furthermore, the dissolution chamber 210 of this embodiment is provided with a plurality of drainage holes 215 on one side facing the accommodating chamber 110, and the plurality of drainage holes 215 are evenly distributed below the drainage port 212. For example, the plurality of drainage holes 215 can be arranged in a plurality of rows and columns on the side wall of the dissolution chamber 210, and the plurality of drainage holes 215 are provided to facilitate the drainage of the dissolved washing water; and after the water intake is completed, the washing water remaining in the dissolution chamber 210 can be drained through the drainage holes 215.

[0046] In order to further improve the dissolution rate of washing powder or washing liquid in the dispenser box 200, in a possible embodiment, the dissolution chamber 210 of this embodiment is further connected to a pre-dissolution chamber 240, the vertical section (the plane perpendicular to the third direction Z) of the pre-dissolution chamber 240 is runway-shaped, and the cross section (the plane perpendicular to the second direction Y) of the pre-dissolution chamber 240 is circular. The water inlet pipe 220 is connected to the pre-dissolution chamber 240. Specifically, along the first direction X, the first end of the water inlet pipe 220 is provided with a docking joint 221, and the docking joint 221 is used to communicate with the water inlet assembly 120 to introduce washing water into the water inlet pipe 220. Along the first direction X, the second end of the water inlet pipe 220 is provided with a water spray port 222, which is connected to the side wall of the pre-dissolution chamber 240 and is located on the side wall where the cross-sectional area of ​​the pre-dissolution chamber 240 is the largest (the middle of the pre-dissolution chamber 240 along the second direction Y), so that the washing water enters the pre-dissolution chamber 240 along the tangential direction. The diameter of the water spray port 222 of this embodiment is smaller than the inner diameter of the water inlet pipe 220, thereby increasing the pressure of the washing water entering the pre-dissolution chamber 240. The axis of the water spray port 222 is arranged horizontally (along the first direction X), so that the washing water can be sent into the dissolution chamber 210 in the horizontal direction.

[0047] The washing water of this embodiment can enter from the tangent direction of the pre-dissolution chamber 240 along the first direction X, so that the washing water spirals up in the counterclockwise direction in the pre-dissolution chamber 240, so that it can increase the speed with the help of the earth's rotation force. The structure of the pre-dissolution chamber 240 itself allows the washing water to rotate quickly, which is conducive to fully dissolving the washing powder or washing liquid. The setting of the pre-dissolution chamber 240 allows the washing powder or washing liquid to be fully dissolved before entering the dissolution chamber 210, thereby further extending the dissolution time of the washing powder or washing liquid, which is conducive to improving the dissolution rate of the washing powder or washing liquid.

[0048] Furthermore, a plurality of second rods 241 are provided in the pre-dissolution chamber 240 of the present embodiment, and the plurality of second rods 241 are all arranged horizontally, and the heights of different second rods 241 are different from each other along the axial direction of the dissolution chamber 210. The second rods 241 of the present embodiment can also play a similar effect as the first rods 213, that is, accelerate the dissolution speed of the washing powder or washing liquid.

[0049] Preferably, in this embodiment, the multiple second rods 241 are all located on the side of the water spray port 222 facing the accommodating chamber 110, so that the washing water entering the pre-dissolution chamber 240 can rotate along the pre-dissolution chamber 240 for nearly a circle, pushing the washing powder balls or laundry liquid to a higher speed before contacting the second rods 241, reducing the influence of the second rods 241 on the flow speed of the washing water, and increasing the intensity of removing the washing powder balls and stirring the laundry liquid.

[0050] Furthermore, the side wall of the pre-dissolution chamber 240 of this embodiment is further provided with a plurality of drainage holes 242, which are connected to the drainage groove 230 and are arranged close to the bottom wall of the pre-dissolution chamber 240. The drainage holes 242 can ensure that the washing water in the pre-dissolution chamber 240 is completely discharged after the water inlet is completed, so as to avoid the washing water remaining in the pre-dissolution chamber 240.

[0051] In a possible implementation, an end cap 250 is further provided on the opening 211 of the dissolution chamber 210 of this embodiment, and the end cap 250 is hinged to the side of the dissolution chamber 210 facing the accommodating chamber 110. Exemplarily, the end cap 250 can be hinged to the side of the dissolution chamber 210 facing the accommodating chamber 110 through a rotating shaft 252. A torsion spring can be sleeved on the rotating shaft 252, and after the user pulls the dispenser box 200 out of the housing 100, the end cap 250 can stand upright, so that it is convenient for the user to put washing powder or washing liquid into the dissolution chamber 210. When the user inserts the dispenser box 200 into the housing 100, the end cap 250 is blocked by the upper wall of the accommodating chamber 110 and thus shielded on the opening 211 of the dissolution chamber 210, ensuring that the washing water does not overflow from the opening 211.

[0052] A sealing gasket may be further provided on the surface of the end cap 250 facing the opening 211 of the dissolution chamber 210 . The sealing gasket may be made of flexible rubber or silicone to improve the sealing effect between the end cap 250 and the opening 211 .

[0053] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a cushion block 251 is provided on the side of the end cover 250 away from the dissolution chamber 210. In the direction away from the accommodation chamber 110, the height of the cushion block 251 ( Figure 2 By providing the pad 251, when the user inserts the dispenser box 200 into the housing 100, the abutment force between the upper wall of the accommodating chamber 110 and the pad 251 gradually increases, thereby ensuring that the end cover 250 can press the opening 211 of the dissolving chamber 210. When the user pulls the dispenser box 200 out of the housing 100, the abutment force between the upper wall of the accommodating chamber 110 and the pad 251 decreases rapidly, making it easier for the user to pull it out.

[0054] In a possible implementation, the water inlet assembly 120 of this embodiment includes a solenoid valve 121, a connecting pipe 122 and a docking cover 123, the connecting pipe 122 is provided through the side wall of the accommodating chamber 110, the docking cover 123 is located at one end of the connecting pipe 122 close to the inside of the accommodating chamber 110, the solenoid valve 121 is located at one end of the connecting pipe 122 close to the outside of the accommodating chamber 110, and the docking head 221 is used to communicate with the docking cover 123. Specifically, the solenoid valve 121 can control the on-off of the water inlet process, the docking cover 123 can be truncated cone-shaped, and the docking head 221 can be truncated cone-shaped, and the two can be inserted into each other to introduce washing water into the dispenser box 200.

[0055] The collecting port 130 is located on the bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 110. After the user inserts the dispenser box 200 into the housing 100, the drain groove 230 is connected to the collecting port 130, so that the washing powder or washing liquid dissolved in the washing water is discharged into the outer drum together with the washing water.

[0056] In this embodiment, the dispenser box 200 may also be provided with a pre-dispensing slot 260 and a softener dispensing slot 270. The pre-dispensing slot 260 may be used to dispense pre-washing washing powder or detergent, and the softener dispensing slot 270 may be used to dispense softener.

[0057] When the dispenser assembly of this embodiment is used, the dispenser box 200 can be firstly pulled out from the housing 100 to form a Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the state shown, the user can put washing powder or washing liquid into the dissolution chamber 210.

[0058] Then, the user can push the dispenser box 200 into the housing 100 to form a Figure 2 and Figure 4 After the washing machine is started, the solenoid valve 121 is opened, and the washing water enters the pre-dissolution chamber 240 through the connecting pipe 122, the docking cover 123, the docking head 221, the water inlet pipe 220 and the water spray port 222, and quickly spirals and rises in the counterclockwise direction inside the pre-dissolution chamber 240, so that the washing powder or washing liquid is fully dissolved with the washing water. The second rod 241 provided in the pre-dissolution chamber 240 can accelerate the dissolution process.

[0059] When the washing water in the pre-dissolution chamber 240 is full, it can overflow into the dissolution chamber 210, and the washing water still spirals upward in the dissolution chamber 210 to further dissolve the washing powder or washing liquid and the washing water. Similarly, the first rod 213 arranged in the dissolution chamber 210 can also accelerate the dissolution process. The washing water in the dissolution chamber 210 is finally discharged from the upper end of the drain port 212 into the drain tank 230, and finally passes into the outer drum through the collection port 130 to wash the clothes.

[0060] In the above process, the washing powder or washing liquid can be fully dissolved in the washing water and can play a role in removing stains after entering the outer drum. In addition, the spiral rising of the washing water can also flush the inner wall of the dissolution chamber 210 to avoid residual washing powder or washing liquid in the dissolution chamber 210.

[0061] Figure 5 This is a simplified structural diagram of a washing machine provided in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 This embodiment also provides a washing machine, including the dispenser assembly of the above embodiment.

[0062] Specifically, an operation panel is provided on the surface of the housing 100 of the washing machine, and the dispenser box 200 can be located on one side of the operation panel. Since the washing machine of this embodiment adopts the dispenser assembly of the above embodiment, the contact time between the washing powder or the laundry liquid and the washing water in the dissolution chamber 210 can be increased, and the washing powder or the laundry liquid can be fully dissolved before being discharged into the outer drum, thereby reducing damage to the clothes and reducing the washing time. In addition, the spirally rising washing water can also flush the inner wall of the dissolution chamber 210 to avoid residual washing powder or laundry liquid in the dissolution chamber 210. The washing water enters horizontally from the bottom of the dissolution chamber 210, and no noise will be generated after the water inlet is completed, which is conducive to improving the user experience.
