Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of clothing cleaning, and in particular, relates to a clothing dispensing device and a clothing processing device. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, clothing processing equipment has rapidly become popular in various households, bringing convenience to users' laundry. For clothing processing equipment such as washing machines, washer-dryers and care machines that manually dispense detergent, the dispensing device they use usually includes a water tank and a dispenser box that can be pulled out and arranged inside it. A water channel is arranged inside the water tank to conduct water to the top of the receiving cavity of the dispenser box. The water flushes from top to bottom to dissolve the detergent in the receiving cavity and flushes the detergent into the washing cavity of the washing machine; and a water distribution plate with pores is also arranged directly below the water channel to disperse the water flow to the top of each area of ​​the receiving cavity to flush the detergent at each position.

[0003] However, such a setting will cause the water to lose a lot of kinetic energy when it falls into the containing chamber, the water flow in the containing chamber is poor, and the dissolving effect on the detergent is reduced. Some detergent is not fully dissolved. This part of the detergent will be washed by the water to the corners of the containing chamber inside the dispenser box of the dispensing device for holding the detergent and the dead corners of the washing chamber. After a period of use, the detergent will precipitate and clump, and the water flow will be poor or even blocked. The dispensing device needs to be cleaned frequently, which brings trouble to the user.

[0004] At the same time, since the water channels in the water storage tank are usually more complicated, after the water program is completed, some water remains in the water channels and flows slowly, and this part of water slowly drips into the accommodating chamber, and then drips from the accommodating chamber into the washing chamber. The user can still hear the "tick-tick" sound of dripping water for a period of time after the clothes processing device finishes the washing program, causing the user to mistakenly believe that the clothes processing device is leaking, which adds concerns to the user.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a dispensing device and a clothing processing device. By arranging a connecting pipe connected to the side wall of the accommodating chamber inside the dispenser box, water is allowed to enter the accommodating chamber from a horizontal direction, thereby reducing the kinetic energy loss of the water, and the water flows in a horizontal direction, so that the water can effectively stir the detergent in the accommodating chamber, thereby solving the problem of insufficient dissolution of the detergent; in addition, the dispensing device can also conduct water to the accommodating chamber without providing a water storage tank, which greatly reduces the length and complexity of the water path and the amount of residual water in the dispensing device, thereby solving the problem that the residual water in the dispensing device continues to drip for too long and causes misunderstandings to users.

[0019] After adopting the above technical scheme, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: by providing a connecting pipe connected to the side wall of the accommodating chamber inside the dispenser box, water enters the accommodating chamber from a horizontal direction, thereby reducing the kinetic energy loss of the water, and the water flows in a horizontal direction, so that the water can effectively stir the detergent in the accommodating chamber, thereby allowing the water to fully dissolve the detergent; in addition, the dispensing device can also conduct water to the accommodating chamber without providing a water storage tank, thereby greatly reducing the length and complexity of the water path, thereby greatly reducing the residual amount of residual water in the dispensing device and the duration of continuous dripping of the residual water.

[0020] Furthermore, by connecting the connecting pipe tangentially to the accommodating chamber, water forms a vortex in the accommodating chamber, which further improves the dissolution effect of the detergent; and by providing an upwardly protruding convex structure in the middle of the accommodating chamber, the convex structure occupies a central position with a lower flow rate in the accommodating vortex, thereby avoiding the detergent from gathering at this position, thereby further improving the dissolution effect of the detergent.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the directions or positional relationships indicated by terms such as “upper”, “lower”, “front”, “back”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “inside” and “outside” are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0036] 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.

[0037] like Figure 1-7 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, a dispensing device is introduced, including a dispenser box 1, which is provided with a accommodating chamber 110 inside, for providing a space for accommodating detergent; and also includes a water supply unit 2, for supplying water to the accommodating chamber 110; a connecting pipe 101 connected to a side wall of the accommodating chamber 110 is provided inside the dispenser box 1, and the liquid inlet end of the connecting pipe 101 is connected to the liquid outlet end of the water supply unit 2.

[0038] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, by arranging a connecting pipe 101 connected to the side wall of the accommodating chamber 110 inside the dispenser box 1, water is allowed to enter the accommodating chamber 110 from a horizontal direction, thereby reducing the kinetic energy loss of the water, and the water flows in a horizontal direction, so that the water can effectively stir the detergent in the accommodating chamber 110, thereby allowing the detergent to be fully dissolved in the water; in addition, the dispensing device can also conduct water to the accommodating chamber 110 without providing a water storage tank, thereby greatly reducing the length and complexity of the water path, thereby greatly reducing the residual amount of residual water in the dispensing device and the duration of continuous dripping of the residual water.

[0039] It should be noted that detergents are solid and / or liquid substances commonly used for treating clothes, such as laundry liquid, laundry powder, and / or softener, and / or disinfectant, and / or bleach.

[0040] like Figure 2-7 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, at least a portion of the side wall of the accommodating chamber 110 is set as an arc surface, and the connecting pipe 101 is tangentially connected to the arc side wall; preferably, the horizontal cross-sections of the accommodating chamber 110 at various height positions are respectively circular or elliptical; further preferably, the horizontal cross-sections of the accommodating chamber 110 at various height positions are respectively circular with the center located on the same vertical axis.

[0041] Through the above arrangement, by tangentially connecting the communicating pipe 101 and the containing chamber 110, water forms a vortex in the containing chamber 110, further improving the dissolution effect of the detergent.

[0042] However, the above embodiment has the following problems: although the vortex formed by water in the containing chamber 110 improves the dissolution effect of the detergent, it is limited to the part close to the periphery of the containing chamber 110. Since the linear velocity of the vortex in the middle of the containing chamber 110 is relatively low, the dissolution effect of the detergent in this part by water is still poor, and the undissolved detergent in the peripheral part will gradually gather to the middle of the containing chamber 110, resulting in the problem that the detergent is not effectively dissolved. Based on the above problems, the following embodiments are proposed.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present invention, the accommodating chamber 110 is a truncated cone-shaped structure; preferably, the cross-sections of the top and bottom of the truncated cone-shaped accommodating chamber 110 are respectively smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the middle portion; another preferred embodiment is that the top cross-section of the accommodating chamber 110 is larger than the bottom cross-section; in the process of water rotating along the peripheral wall of the accommodating chamber 110, the water is gradually spirally moved upward by the combined effect of the centrifugal force and the peripheral wall to increase the height of the water in the accommodating chamber 110 and the proportion of the water located on the periphery of the accommodating chamber 110, thereby increasing the overall speed of the water rotation and improving the dissolution effect on the detergent.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present invention, the communication pipe 101 is connected to the bottom of the peripheral side of the truncated cone-shaped receiving chamber 110, so that water enters the receiving chamber 110 from the bottom of the receiving chamber 110 and makes a spiral motion from bottom to top more smoothly.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present invention, the communication pipe 101 extends from the back to the front, and the liquid outlet end of the communication pipe 101 is tangentially connected to the left or right side wall of the accommodating chamber 110 .

[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, a delivery chamber 140 is further provided in the dispenser box 1. An opening communicating with the delivery chamber 140 is provided on the upper surface of the dispenser box 1. The bottom of the delivery chamber 140 is connected to the top of the accommodating chamber 110, so that the user can add detergent into the accommodating chamber 110. The delivery chamber 140 is arranged in a funnel shape with a horizontal cross-section gradually decreasing from top to bottom. The delivery chamber 140 is arranged in an open shape, so that the user can add detergent into the accommodating chamber 110 conveniently. At the same time, when the water flow rate is large, the water in spiral motion can move into the funnel-shaped delivery chamber 140, so as to prevent the water from flowing to the outside of the dispenser box 1 and causing the dispenser box 1 to leak.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the delivery cavity 140 is configured to be of the same shape and size as the top of the accommodating cavity 110 .

[0048] In an embodiment of the present invention, a protruding structure 112 protruding upward is provided on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 110, and the protruding structure 112 is arranged at a certain distance from each side wall of the accommodating cavity 110; preferably, the protruding structure 112 is a columnar or conical protruding structure 112 coaxially arranged with the accommodating cavity 110.

[0049] Through the above arrangement, by providing an upwardly protruding structure 112 in the middle of the accommodating cavity 110, the protruding structure 112 occupies a central position with a lower flow velocity in the accommodating vortex, thereby preventing the detergent from gathering at this position, thereby further improving the dissolution effect of the detergent.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of stirring structures 111 with protruding surfaces are distributed on the side walls of the accommodating chamber 110; preferably, each stirring structure 111 is located at a different height position; by providing the stirring structure 111, the detergent collides with the stirring structure 111 during the rotation process in the accommodating chamber 110, thereby achieving a stirring effect on the water.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of stirring structures 111 with protruding surfaces are distributed on the side wall of the delivery cavity 140 .

[0052] In the embodiment of the present invention, each stirring structure 111 is a rod-shaped structure protruding from the surface, or a conical structure with a diameter gradually decreasing along the protruding direction.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present invention, a collecting chamber 120 is further provided inside the dispenser box 1, and a first filter hole 130 connected to the collecting chamber 120 is distributed on a side wall of the accommodating chamber 110; the collecting chamber 120 is provided with a drain port 121 for discharging a mixture of water and detergent.

[0054] Through the above arrangement, water needs to be filtered through the first filter hole 130 before entering the collecting chamber 120, so that the undissolved detergent in the water is blocked in the accommodating chamber 110, preventing the detergent from being discharged prematurely without sufficient stirring and dissolution; at the same time, the water in the accommodating chamber flows into the collecting chamber through the first filter hole distributed at the bottom of the side wall of the collecting chamber, preventing water from remaining in the accommodating chamber; in addition, the water is buffered in the collecting chamber 120, and the water that enters the collecting chamber 120 later can be further mixed with the water that enters earlier, thereby achieving the effect of homogenizing the water, so that the detergent content in the water flowing out of the dispenser box 1 is more balanced.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present invention, the bottom wall of the collecting chamber 120 is tilted downward from the periphery to the drain port 121 , so that water is collected toward the drain port 121 to prevent water from remaining on the bottom wall of the collecting chamber 120 .

[0056] In the embodiment of the present invention, the accommodating chamber 110 and the collecting chamber 120 are disposed adjacent to each other and share the same side wall.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present invention, the communication pipe 101 and the collecting chamber 120 are respectively located on the same side of the accommodating chamber 110 , and the communication pipe 101 is tangentially connected to the accommodating chamber 110 .

[0058] In an embodiment of the present invention, the collecting chamber 120 is arranged at the rear side of the accommodating chamber 110, and the connecting pipe 101 is arranged at the rear side of the accommodating chamber 110, and is tangently connected to the side wall on the left or right side of the accommodating chamber 110; the water flowing out of the connecting pipe 101 first flows to the front side of the accommodating chamber 110, and rotates along the side wall of the accommodating chamber 110 for one circle before reaching the side wall where the first filter hole 130 is provided, thereby extending the shortest stroke of the water and allowing the water sufficient time to dissolve the detergent.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present invention, a second filter hole 141 is distributed on the side wall adjacent to the delivery chamber 140 and the collection chamber 120; the water entering the collection chamber from the delivery chamber 140 is filtered through the second filter hole 141 to prevent undissolved detergent from entering the collection chamber 120 through the second filter hole 141.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present invention, the aperture of the second filter hole 141 is larger than the aperture of the first filter hole 130 , and the water flow rate is increased while ensuring that the detergent can be effectively filtered.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present invention, water enters the dispenser box 1 through the water supply unit 2, and enters the receiving chamber 110 through the connecting pipe 101 to flush the detergent, and the flow direction of the water is parallel to the side wall of the receiving chamber 110; the water makes a gradually upward spiral motion along the side wall of the truncated cone-shaped receiving chamber 110, and collides with the stirring structure 111 on the side wall of the receiving chamber 110 during the flow process, thereby stirring the detergent in the water; some of the detergent passes through the first filter hole 13 at the rear side of the receiving chamber 110 after rotating at least one circle. 0 flows into the collecting chamber 120; the remaining part of the water moves to the delivery chamber 140 above the accommodating chamber 110, and flows into the collecting chamber 120 through the second filter hole 141 at the rear side of the delivery chamber 140; the undissolved detergent will be blocked by the filter screen 142 set on the first filter hole 130 or the second filter hole 141 in the accommodating chamber 110 or the delivery chamber 140, and the subsequent flowing water will flush this part of the detergent, dissolve it and then enter the collecting chamber 120, so that the water in the collecting chamber 120 does not contain undissolved detergent.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present invention, the dispenser box 1 is fixedly arranged in the clothing processing device, a detergent replenishing port is opened on the top of the clothing processing device, and the accommodating cavity 110 of the dispenser box 1 is located below the detergent replenishing port. The user replenishes detergent into the corresponding accommodating cavity 110 through the detergent replenishing port.

[0063] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the distributor box 1 can be pulled out, and the water supply unit 2 includes a docking joint 210, which is arranged on the distributor box 1 and is connected to the liquid inlet end of the connecting pipe 101, and the axis is arranged parallel to the pulling direction of the distributor box 1; a water supply pipe 220, which is used to conduct water, and the liquid outlet end is coaxially arranged with the docking joint 210, and is connected to the docking joint 210 in a way that it can be turned on and off.

[0064] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the pull-out dispenser box 1 is more convenient for users to use than the fixed type. At the same time, by providing a water supply pipe 220 and a docking joint 210 that can be connected and disconnected, the water supply unit 2 can supply water to the dispenser box 1 without providing a water storage tank outside the dispenser box 1, thereby reducing the space occupied by the dispensing device; more importantly, the water path for guiding water in the water storage tank is eliminated, which greatly reduces the length and complexity of the water path, thereby greatly reducing the amount of residual water in the dispensing device and the duration of continuous dripping of the residual water, thereby avoiding users from mistakenly believing that there is a water leakage problem in the clothing processing device, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present invention, the water supply pipe 220 is a hard pipe fixed inside the clothes processing device.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present invention, a docking cover 221 coaxial with the docking joint 210 is provided on the liquid outlet end of the water supply pipe 220, and the inner surface of the docking cover 221 is fitted with the outer surface of the docking joint 210; the docking cover 221 is provided to facilitate the connection between the docking joint 210 and the water supply pipe 220, and the docking cover 221 and the surface of the docking joint 210 can form a seal to prevent water leakage at the docking point between the water supply pipe 220 and the docking joint 210 when the water supply pipe 220 supplies water to the distributor box 1.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present invention, the docking cover 221 is open, and the outer surface of the docking joint 210 is matched with the shape of the docking cover 221; so that the docking joint 210 fits with the open docking cover 221, further improving the sealing effect. At the same time, the open docking cover 221 can guide the docking joint 210 to avoid misalignment of the docking joint 210.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present invention, the docking cover 221 is a truncated cone structure, and the docking joint 210 is correspondingly configured as a truncated cone structure.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present invention, the water supply unit 2 also includes a sleeve structure 230, which is sleeved on the water supply pipe 220, and a movable cavity 231 is arranged inside the sleeve structure 230; the water guide pipe 240, both ends of which are respectively connected to the connecting pipe 101 and the docking joint 210; the docking joint 210 is movably arranged in the movable cavity 231.

[0070] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the sleeve structure 230 is provided to guide the docking joint 210, thereby preventing the docking joint 210 from being misplaced during the pulling and pulling process of the distributor box 1, resulting in water leakage at the docking point between the docking joint 210 and the water supply pipe 220; at the same time, the water guide pipe 240 is provided to space the docking joint 210 and the rear surface of the distributor box 1, thereby providing space for the docking joint 210 to slide in the sleeve structure 230.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present invention, the withdrawable length of the dispenser box 1 is less than or equal to the length of the water conduit 240 .

[0072] In an embodiment of the present invention, the active chamber 231 is a columnar chamber, the axis of the columnar active chamber 231 is arranged parallel to the pulling direction of the dispenser box 1, and a connecting port 232 is opened on the outer surface of the sleeve structure 230, and the connecting port 232 is connected to the active chamber 231; the docking joint 210 is provided with a piston 211 protruding radially outward, and the outer peripheral surface of the piston 211 is slidably fitted with the peripheral side wall of the active chamber 231.

[0073] Through the above arrangement, the sleeve structure 230 is configured as a damping device through the piston 211 and the connecting port 232. During the pulling and drawing process of the dispenser box 1, the movement of the piston 211 causes the space from the piston 211 in the active chamber 231 to one end of the water supply pipe 220 to increase or decrease. At this time, the air pressure in this part of the space is less than or greater than the external air pressure, which forms resistance to the movement of the piston 211 and the docking joint 210. At this time, the resistance to the withdrawal or pushback of the dispenser box 1 is relatively large, which avoids intrusion. In this process, the connecting port 232 replenishes or discharges gas in the active chamber 231 of this part, so that the resistance value gradually decreases; thereby forming a comfortable and reliable pulling and drawing action, improving the user experience, and preventing the dispenser box 1 from shaking when it is impacted, resulting in a gap in the connection with the water supply pipe 220 and causing water leakage.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present invention, the active cavity 231 is horizontally arranged, and the connecting port 232 is opened at the bottom of the active cavity 231; when the distributor box 1 is pulled out, the docking joint 210 is disconnected from the water supply pipe 220. At this time, a small amount of water remaining in the pipe may flow out to the active cavity 231 through the gap between the two. By setting the connecting port 232 at the bottom, this part of the water can be discharged, avoiding water accumulation in the accommodating cavity 110, which affects the smoothness of the movement of the docking joint 210 in the active cavity 231.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present invention, the communication port 232 is opened directly below the docking cover 221, so that the residual water flowing out of the water supply pipe 220 drips directly to the outside of the active cavity 231 through the lower end of the docking cover 221, further reducing the amount of residual water in the active cavity 231.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present invention, the outer surface of the sleeve structure 230 is provided with a drainage funnel with a protruding surface on the communication port 232, and a water channel is provided in the drainage funnel that narrows away from the sleeve structure 230 component, so that the residual water discharged from the active cavity 231 can be discharged more concentratedly.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present invention, a solenoid valve is provided on the water supply pipe 220 , and the solenoid valve controls the on-off of the water path in the water supply pipe 220 .

[0078] In the embodiment of the present invention, an openable and closable end cover 150 is disposed on the top of the dispenser box 1 , and the end cover 150 is buckled on the top opening of the delivery cavity 140 .

[0079] In the embodiment of the present invention, the end cover 150 is hinged to the side wall shared by the delivery chamber 140 and the collection chamber 120 .

[0080] In the embodiment of the present invention, a liquid receiving port 143 is provided on the top of the collecting chamber 120 near the delivery chamber 140 , and an openable and closable liquid guiding portion 151 is provided on the side of the end cover 150 near the collecting chamber 120 and covers the liquid receiving port 143 .

[0081] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the end cover 150 is buckled on the top opening of the delivery chamber 140 , the liquid guide portion 151 blocks the liquid receiving port 143 of the delivery chamber 140 ; ​​when the end cover 150 is flipped upward, the liquid guide portion 151 is flipped toward the inside of the collection chamber 120 .

[0082] Since it is inevitable that water will splash onto the end cover 150 from the dispenser box 1, through the above arrangement, when the end cover 150 is opened, the water splashed onto the end cover 150 can be guided in the hinge direction, flow to the liquid guiding portion 151, and then drip into the collecting chamber 120, thereby preventing the water on the end cover 150 from flowing uncontrollably to other places.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present invention, the delivery chamber 140 is an inverted frustum-conical structure, and a avoidance opening 145 is provided on the top of the side wall shared by the delivery chamber 140 and the collecting chamber 120, and the cover plate 150 is hinged to the side walls on both sides of the avoidance opening 145; so that the hinge position of the cover plate 150 and the side wall is lower than the top of the delivery chamber 140, thereby reducing the overall height of the dispenser box; at the same time, the side wall avoids the cover plate 150 through the avoidance opening 145, so that the cover plate 150 has a larger flipping angle, which is convenient for the user to add detergent into the delivery chamber 140; in addition, in the process of water passing into the dispenser box, the water can flow into the collecting chamber through the avoidance opening, thereby playing a role of drainage.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present invention, a filter screen 142 is provided on the avoidance port 145 ; preferably, the pores of the filter screen 142 are larger than the aperture of the second filter hole 141 ; so as to filter the water flowing to the avoidance port 145 to prevent undissolved detergent from entering the collecting chamber 120 .

[0085] In the embodiment of the present invention, the filter screen 142 is disposed flush with the side wall of the collecting chamber 120 .

[0086] In an embodiment of the present invention, a sealing gasket is provided at the bottom of the end cover 150, and the outer peripheral end wall of the sealing gasket is sealed and fitted with the peripheral wall of the top opening of the delivery cavity 140 to improve the sealing performance of the end cover 150 and prevent water in the delivery cavity 140 from overflowing through the top opening.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present invention, a handle groove 160 recessed inward is provided on the front side of the dispenser box 1 to facilitate the user to pull out the dispenser box 1 .

[0088] In an embodiment of the present invention, an efficiency enhancement module is provided in the water pipe 240, and the efficiency enhancement module includes an air pipe that passes through a side wall of the water pipe 240 and is connected to the outside, and the air outlet end of the air pipe is bent toward the downstream direction of the water pipe 240; when water flows in the water pipe 240, a negative pressure will be generated at the air outlet end of the air pipe located in the liquid pipe, thereby allowing the outside air to be introduced into the water pipe 240 through the air pipe, and the air will be entrained and mixed during the water circulation process, thereby generating bubbles in the fluid, so that the water entering the dispenser box 1 dissolves more gas, thereby improving the dissolution and foaming effects of the detergent.

[0089] More importantly, when the water supply to the distributor box 1 ends, the flow rate in the water supply unit 2 gradually decreases, and the negative pressure value in the water pipe 240 increases accordingly. The water in the water pipe 240 cannot flow smoothly downstream, and water remains inside the water supply unit 2. The present application replenishes air to the water pipe 240 through the air pipe to prevent the negative pressure value in the water pipe 240 from increasing, so that the water downstream of the water inlet valve can flow smoothly into the distributor box 1, preventing water from remaining inside the water supply unit 2.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet end of the air guide pipe is coaxially arranged with the water guide pipe 240, thereby further increasing the amount of air dissolved in water.

[0091] In an embodiment of the present invention, the efficiency enhancement module further includes a one-way conductive one-way structure disposed on the air outlet end of the air duct to prevent water from flowing to the outside of the water duct 240 through the air duct.

[0093] Through the above arrangement, the washing chamber 5 of the washing machine is connected to the accommodating chamber 110 of the dispenser box 1 through the liquid injection pipe group 3, so that water dissolved with detergent can enter the washing chamber 5.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present invention, a liquid discharge port 121 communicating with the accommodating chamber 110 is formed at the bottom of the distributor box 1 , and the liquid injection tube group 3 is connected to the liquid discharge port 121 .

[0095] In the embodiment of the present invention, the liquid discharge port 121 is connected to the collecting chamber 120 , and water enters the washing chamber 5 through the accommodating chamber 110 , the collecting chamber 120 and the liquid injection tube group 3 in sequence.

[0096] like Figure 4 and5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the liquid injection tube group 3 is a delivery tube 301, and the delivery tube 301 is a hose, and the two ends of the delivery hose are respectively connected to the accommodating chamber 110 and the washing chamber 5; the connection between the distributor box 1 and the washing chamber 5 is achieved by setting the hose.

[0097] In one embodiment of the present invention, the delivery pipe 301 is a corrugated hose.

[0098] like Figure 6 and 7 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the liquid injection tube group 3 is a delivery tube 301 connected to the liquid inlet 501 of the washing chamber 5 or the connecting port 232 of the distributor box 1, and the free end of the delivery tube 301 extends toward the distributor box 1 or the washing chamber 5, and is connected to the liquid discharge port 121 or the liquid inlet 501 in a switchable manner; the connecting tube does not need to be bent and extended in the pulling direction of the distributor box 1, and is more durable than the previous embodiment.

[0099] In an embodiment of the present invention, the delivery tube 301 is an elastic tube that can be compressed and deformed in the up and down directions; the discharge port 121 of the dispenser box 1 or the liquid inlet 501 of the washing chamber 5 is provided with a limit joint 302 extending in opposite directions, and the free end of the delivery tube 301 is pluggable and sleeved on the limit joint 302.

[0100] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the distributor box 1 is pulled out, the limit joint 302 and the delivery tube 301 are relatively displaced, and the delivery tube 301 is separated from the limit joint 302; during the push-back process of the distributor box 1, the limit joint 302 gradually faces the free end of the delivery tube 301, and the outer wall of the limit joint 302 squeezes the free end of the delivery tube 301, and the delivery tube 301 is compressed inwardly; when the limit joint 302 faces the free end of the delivery tube 301, the delivery tube 301 rebounds toward the limit joint 302, and the delivery tube is sleeved on the limit joint to connect the discharge port 121 and the liquid inlet 501.

[0101] In an embodiment of the present invention, a limiting sleeve 303 is provided on the free end of the delivery pipe 301, a flow channel connected to the delivery pipe 301 is provided in the middle of the limiting sleeve 303, and the limiting sleeve 303 is pluggable and sleeved on the limiting joint 302; the hardness of the limiting sleeve 303 is greater than the hardness of the delivery pipe 301; and the connection stability between the delivery pipe 301 and the limiting sleeve 302 is further improved.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present invention, the end wall of the limiting sleeve 303 at one end close to the limiting joint 302 is configured as an arc surface.

[0103] In an embodiment of the present invention, the outer peripheral wall of the truncated cone limit joint 303 and the end face arc near one end of the limit sleeve 302 are transitionally connected; the arc corner formed on the limit joint 303 makes the fitting and disengagement process between the limit joint 303 and the limit sleeve 302 smoother, and makes the connection and disconnection between the discharge port 121 and the liquid inlet 501 more stable.

[0104] In the embodiment of the present invention, the water supply pipe 220 is fixed inside the housing 4 .

[0105] In the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of brackets 233 are disposed inside the housing 4 , and one end of each bracket 233 is connected to the sleeve structure 230 , so as to support and fix the sleeve structure 230 .

[0106] In the embodiment of the present invention, each bracket 233 is respectively arranged vertically, horizontally, or inclined.

[0107] In an embodiment of the present invention, the sleeve structure 230 is arranged above the washing chamber 5, and the washing chamber 5 is provided with an air vent 510 below the connecting port 232 of the sleeve structure 230; the air vent 510 can not only ventilate the space in the washing chamber 5, but also the residual water discharged from the sleeve structure 230 can enter the washing chamber 5 through the air vent 510, thereby preventing the residual water from turbulently flowing in the outer shell 4, causing the inside of the shell to be damp and moldy.

[0108] In the embodiment of the present invention, a liquid receiving cover 511 which is open upward is provided on the outer surface of the washing chamber 5 at the periphery of the air vent 510 to enhance the collection effect of the communication port 232 on dripping residual water.

[0109] In the embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the liquid receiving cover 511 gradually increases from bottom to top.

[0110] In an embodiment of the present invention, a drawer opening is provided on the front side of the shell 4 for the dispenser box 1 to pass through, and the inner wall of the shell 4 and the upper end wall and the lower end wall of the drawer opening are respectively provided with sliding flanges 411 extending backwards to form a sliding channel to support the sliding of the dispenser box 1.

[0111] In an embodiment of the present invention, a torsion spring is provided at the hinge between the dispenser box 1 and the end cover 150; during the process of pulling out the dispenser box 1, the torsion spring pushes the front end of the dispenser box 1 to flip upward; during the process of pushing the dispenser box 1 back, the upper end wall of the drawer opening of the outer shell 4 abuts against the bottom of the end cover 150, causing the front end of the end cover 150 to flip downward and compress the torsion spring.

[0112] Through the above arrangement, by arranging a torsion spring on the end cover 150, the end cover 150 is automatically opened or closed when the dispenser box 1 is drawn out or pushed back, so as to facilitate the use of the user.

[0113] Normally, the end cover 150 is arranged at a certain distance from the sliding flange 411 so that the dispenser box 1 can be smoothly pulled out, but due to the provision of a torsion spring, the torsion spring will drive the end cover 150 to flip upward, resulting in the problem that the end cover 150 cannot be tightly fastened on the top opening of the delivery chamber 140, causing the detergent and water to flow out through the top opening of the delivery chamber 140.

[0114] In the embodiment of the present invention, a cushion block 152 protruding upward is disposed on the front side of the top of the end cover 150 , and the top end of the cushion block 152 abuts against the sliding flange 411 .

[0115] Through the above arrangement, the top area of ​​the cushion block 152 is smaller than the top area of ​​the end cover 150, and the sliding friction between the cushion block 152 and the sliding flange 411 is relatively small; at the same time, the cushion block 152 can press the end cover 150, so that there is no gap between the end cover 150 and the top opening of the delivery chamber 140, thereby preventing the detergent and the incoming water from flowing out through the top opening of the delivery chamber 140.

[0116] In an embodiment of the present invention, a limiting protrusion 170 with a protruding surface is provided at the bottom of the dispenser box 1. During the process of pulling out the dispenser box 1, the limiting protrusion 170 moves toward the sliding flange 411 at the bottom of the drawer opening and finally abuts against the sliding flange 411. The dispenser box 1 is limited by the limiting protrusion 170 to prevent the dispenser box 1 from being pulled out excessively.
