[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] See also Figure 1The present invention discloses an automatic dispensing device, which includes a dispensing shell 1, a liner assembly 2, a locking assembly 3 and a pushing assembly 4. In some embodiments, the dispensing shell 1 is provided with a accommodating cavity 11, and an opening 12 is provided on one side of the accommodating cavity 11. The liner assembly 2 can move along the direction of the opening 12 to extend out of the accommodating cavity 11, or be accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11. The locking assembly 3 is used to lock the liner assembly 2 and the dispensing shell 1 to limit the position of the liner assembly 2 in the accommodating cavity 11. The pushing assembly 4 is arranged between the dispensing shell 1 and the liner assembly 2, and can drive the liner assembly 2 to move along the direction of the opening 12 when the locking assembly 3 is in an unlocked state. Preferably, when the lock assembly 3 is in the unlocked state, the push-pop assembly 4 drives the inner liner assembly 2 to move in the direction of the opening 12, so that the inner liner assembly 2 is automatically popped out, so that the detergent adding port of the inner liner assembly 2 is exposed, which is convenient for the user to add detergent, and the inner liner assembly 2 that can be automatically popped out is more convenient for the user to remove it from the accommodating cavity 11 for cleaning or replacement, further optimizing the daily maintenance of the dispensing device.

[0027] Preferably, the locking assembly 3 is arranged between the liner assembly 2 and the dispensing shell 1, and the liner assembly 2 and the dispensing shell 1 can be locked by the locking assembly 3 to limit the position of the liner assembly 2 in the accommodating cavity 11 and prevent the liner assembly 2 from moving in the accommodating cavity 11, thereby effectively positioning the liquid outlet of the liner assembly 2, so that the detergent dispensed by the liner assembly 2 can effectively enter the predetermined position of the accommodating cavity 11. When the locking assembly 3 is in an unlocked state, the pushing assembly 4 drives the liner assembly 2 to move in the direction of the opening 12, so that the liner assembly 2 is automatically popped out, thereby exposing the laundry detergent adding port and facilitating the user to remove the liner assembly 2 from the accommodating cavity 11 for cleaning or replacement. Optionally, the push-pop assembly 4 can be an electric control element such as an electric push rod or a cylinder. When the lock assembly 3 is in an unlocked state, the electric control element is powered on and started synchronously to drive the inner liner assembly 2 to move in the direction of the opening 12; Optionally, the push-pop assembly 4 can be an elastic element. When the lock assembly 3 is in a locked state, the elastic element is in an elastic deformation state (a stretched state or a compressed state, that is, the elastic element stores elastic potential energy at this time). When the lock assembly 3 is in an unlocked state, the elastic element recovers elastically and releases the elastic potential energy, so that the elastic potential energy is converted into power for the inner liner assembly 2, thereby driving the inner liner assembly 2 to move in the direction of the opening 12.

[0028] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the push-pull assembly 4 includes an elastic member 41, one end of the elastic member 41 is fixedly connected to the dispensing shell 1, and the other end of the elastic member 41 is in contact with the liner assembly 2. Optionally, the elastic member 41 is arranged along the moving direction of the liner assembly 2, and optionally, the compression direction or the stretching direction of the elastic member 41 is in the same direction as the moving direction of the liner assembly 2, wherein the moving direction of the liner assembly 2 is a direction away from or close to the opening 12; optionally, the number of the elastic members 41 is one or more; optionally, when the number of the elastic members 41 is one, the elastic member 41 is arranged close to the side wall of the accommodating cavity 11 to optimize the structure and avoid the elastic member 41 from blocking the liner assembly 2 and affecting the dispensing of detergent, or the elastic member 41 is arranged in the middle of the accommodating cavity 11 so that the liner accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11 Component 2, so that when the elastic member 41 drives the inner liner component 2 to move in the direction of the opening 12, the inner liner component 2 can maintain smooth movement and reduce the probability of getting stuck; optionally, when the number of the elastic members 41 is multiple, the elastic members 41 can be arranged on both sides of the accommodating cavity 11, so that the elastic member 41 can provide sufficient power to the inner liner component 2 and drive the inner liner component 2 to maintain smooth movement and reduce the probability of getting stuck, or the elastic members 41 are evenly spaced in the accommodating cavity 11, so that the elastic member 41 can provide sufficient power to the inner liner component 2 while avoiding stress concentration, which causes the inner liner component 2 to be dented or broken.

[0029] Preferably, one end of the elastic member 41 is fixedly connected to the delivery shell 1 by means of snapping, welding, bolting, gluing, etc., so that the elastic member 41 can be effectively fixed in the accommodating cavity 11 of the delivery shell 1, to avoid the elastic member 41 falling off or even popping out of the accommodating cavity 11 when the liner assembly 2 is disassembled. Optionally, the other end of the elastic member 41 abuts against the liner assembly 2, so when the user disassembles the liner assembly 2 accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11, the liner assembly 2 that is ejected from the accommodating cavity 11 can be directly pulled out; when the user assembles the liner assembly 2 into the accommodating cavity 11, the liner assembly 2 can be directly pushed into the accommodating cavity 11, so that the locking assembly 3 can lock the liner assembly 2 and the delivery shell 1, thereby effectively enabling the user to quickly disassemble and assemble the liner assembly 2, and at the same time avoiding excessive stretching of the elastic member 41 when disassembling and assembling the liner assembly 2, thereby avoiding damage to the elastic member 41.

[0030] Optionally, when the user assembles the liner assembly 2 into the accommodating cavity 11, during the process of pushing the liner assembly 2 into the accommodating cavity 11, the elastic member 41 abuts against the liner assembly 2, and one end of the elastic member 41 moves with the liner assembly 2, so that the elastic member 41 is in an elastic deformation state (a stretched state or a compressed state, that is, the elastic member 41 stores elastic potential energy at this time). If the locking assembly 3 fails to lock the liner assembly 2 and the delivery shell 1, the elastic member 41 will recover elastically and push the liner assembly 2 out of the accommodating cavity 11, thereby reminding the user that the liner assembly 2 is currently pushed into the wrong position and needs to be re-locked. The inner liner assembly 2 is pushed into the accommodating cavity 11 until the locking assembly 3 locks the inner liner assembly 2 and the delivery shell 1. When the locking assembly 3 is in the unlocked state, the elastic member 41 recovers elastically and releases elastic potential energy, so that the elastic potential energy is converted into the power of the inner liner assembly 2, and then drives the inner liner assembly 2 to move along the direction of the opening 12, so that the inner liner assembly 2 is automatically popped out, so that the detergent adding port of the inner liner assembly 2 is exposed, which is convenient for users to add detergent. The inner liner assembly 2 that can be automatically popped out is more convenient for users to remove it from the accommodating cavity 11 for cleaning or replacement, further optimizing the daily maintenance of the delivery device.

[0031] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, a slide groove 42 is provided in the accommodating cavity 11. Optionally, the slide groove 42 may be one or more. Optionally, at least one of the slide grooves 42 is located on the movement path of the liner assembly 2. The elastic member 41 is assembled in the slide groove 42, so the elastic member 41 can be extended and retracted on the movement path of the liner assembly 2, thereby fully converting the kinetic energy of the liner assembly 2 into the elastic potential energy of the elastic member 41, and converting the elastic potential energy released by the elastic member 41 into the kinetic energy of the liner assembly 2. Optionally, the slide groove 42 can be set along the moving direction of the inner liner assembly 2, wherein the moving direction of the inner liner assembly 2 is a direction away from or close to the opening 12. Optionally, the moving direction of the inner liner assembly 2 is the length direction or width direction of the delivery shell 1. The elastic member 41 is assembled in the slide groove 42, and the direction in which the elastic member 41 is extended and retracted is limited by the slide groove 42. That is, the elastic member 41 can be extended and retracted along the setting direction of the slide groove 42, and the slide groove 42 is used to further limit the moving direction of the inner liner assembly 2 during the ejection process, thereby reducing the movement direction deviation caused by equipment assembly errors or aging, reducing the probability of jamming, and ensuring that the inner liner assembly 2 can be ejected from the opening 12. Optionally, the slide groove 42 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the elastic member 41. Preferably, the slide groove 42 is opened on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 11 to prevent the slide groove 42 from blocking the inner tank assembly 2 and affecting the addition of detergent, while reducing the probability of detergent splashing into the slide groove 42 and causing corrosion to the elastic member 41.

[0032] Preferably, when the liner assembly 2 is assembled into the accommodating cavity 11, the liner assembly 2 can be directly pushed into the accommodating cavity 11, driving the locking assembly 3 to lock the liner assembly 2 and the delivery shell 1. In the process of pushing the liner assembly 2 into the accommodating cavity 11, the elastic member 41 in the slide groove 42 abuts against the liner assembly 2, and one end of the elastic member 41 moves in the slide groove 42 following the liner assembly 2, so that the elastic member 41 is in an elastic deformation state (tensile state or compressed state), that is, at this time, the elastic member 41 in the slide groove 42 stores elastic potential energy, and at the same time, the slide groove 42 is used to guide the elastic member 41 storing the elastic potential energy, so as to prevent the elastic member 41 from deforming in other directions under the action of the elastic potential energy, resulting in the elastic member 41 being unable to push the liner assembly 2. When the lock assembly 3 is in an unlocked state, the elastic member 41 recovers elastically in the slide groove 42 and releases elastic potential energy, so that the elastic potential energy is converted into power for the inner liner assembly 2, driving the inner liner assembly 2 to move in the direction of the opening 12, thereby realizing automatic pop-up of the inner liner assembly 2, so that the detergent adding port of the inner liner assembly 2 is exposed, which is convenient for users to add detergent. The inner liner assembly 2 that can be automatically popped out is more convenient for users to remove it from the accommodating cavity 11 for cleaning or replacement, thereby further optimizing the daily maintenance of the dispensing device.

[0033] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, a movable block 43 is movably connected in the slide groove 42. Optionally, the movable block 43 can reciprocate along the slide groove 42. Optionally, when the liner assembly 2 is assembled into the accommodating cavity 11, the movable block 43 abuts against the liner assembly 2, and under the drive of the liner assembly 2, compresses or stretches the elastic member 41 in the slide groove 42, so that the elastic member 41 stores elastic potential energy. When the lock assembly 3 is in the unlocked state, the elastic member 41 elastically recovers in the slide groove 42 and releases the elastic potential energy, driving the movable block 43 to move along the slide groove 42 toward the opening 12, and the liner assembly abutting against the movable block 43 is moved. Under the drive of the movable block 43, the component 2 moves synchronously toward the direction of the opening 12 to realize the automatic pop-up of the liner component 2, so that the detergent adding port of the liner component 2 is exposed; optionally, one end of the elastic component 41 is fixedly connected to the delivery shell 1 by snapping, welding, bolting, gluing, etc., and the other end of the elastic component 41 is connected to the movable block 43. Preferably, the other end of the elastic component 41 is fixedly connected to the movable block 43 by snapping, welding, bolting, etc.; further, the movable The movable block 43 is detachably connected to the inner liner assembly 2. Optionally, the movable block 43 and the inner liner assembly 2 can be detachably connected by means of magnetism, snaps, etc., so that a quickly detachable connection can be formed between the inner liner assembly 2 and the movable block 43, which not only ensures that the inner liner assembly 2 and the movable block 43 can effectively drive each other, but also facilitates the user to remove the inner liner assembly 2 from the accommodating cavity 11 for cleaning or replacement, thereby further optimizing the daily maintenance of the washing device; optionally, a limiting structure can also be provided in the slide groove 42, It is used to limit the moving distance of the movable block 43 under the action of elastic potential energy. When the elastic member 41 releases the elastic potential energy and drives the inner liner assembly 2 to move in the direction of the opening 12 through the movable block 43, the moving distance of the movable block 43 can be limited by the limiting structure, that is, the inner liner assembly 2 can move a predetermined distance in the direction of the opening 12 under the drive of the movable block 43, thereby preventing the inner liner assembly 2 from directly popping out of the accommodating cavity 11 under the action of elastic potential energy, causing the inner liner assembly 2 to collide or fall, and other sudden situations.

[0034] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the elastic member 41 is preferably a tension spring, and the slide groove 42 is arranged on the side wall of the accommodating chamber 11. Optionally, the slide groove 42 is arranged along the moving direction of the liner assembly 2, wherein the liner assembly 2 can move toward the direction of the opening 12. Preferably, the moving direction of the liner assembly 2 is the length direction or the width direction of the delivery shell 1. Further, the elastic member 41 is assembled in the slide groove 42 and can be stretched along the slide groove 42. One end of the elastic member 41 is fixedly connected to the slide groove 42, and the other end of the elastic member 41 is fixedly connected to the movable block 43. Optionally, the movable block 43 can reciprocate along the slide groove 42. Preferably, the liner assembly 2 is assembled to When the accommodating cavity 11 is opened, the inner liner assembly 2 can be directly pushed into the accommodating cavity 11, so that the locking assembly 3 locks the inner liner assembly 2 and the delivery shell 1. During the process of pushing the inner liner assembly 2 into the accommodating cavity 11, the movable block 43 abuts against the inner liner assembly 2, and under the drive of the inner liner assembly 2, the movable block 43 compresses or stretches the elastic member 41 in the slide groove 42, so that the elastic member 41 stores elastic potential energy. At the same time, the slide groove 42 is used to guide the elastic member 41 storing elastic potential energy and the movable block 43 to prevent the elastic member 41 from deforming in other directions under the action of the elastic potential energy, resulting in the elastic member 41 being unable to push the inner liner assembly 2. If the locking assembly 3 fails to lock the liner assembly 2 and the delivery shell 1, the elastic member 41 will elastically recover and push the liner assembly 2 out of the accommodating chamber 11, thereby reminding the user that the liner assembly 2 is currently pushed into the wrong position and needs to push the liner assembly 2 into the accommodating chamber 11 again until the locking assembly 3 locks the liner assembly 2 and the delivery shell 1; when the locking assembly 3 is in the unlocked state, the elastic member 41 will elastically recover in the slide groove 42 and release the elastic member 41 to release the elastic member 41. The elastic potential energy drives the movable block 43 to move toward the opening 12. The inner liner component 2 moves toward the opening 12 under the drive of the movable block 43, that is, the elastic potential energy is converted into the power of the inner liner component 2, so that the inner liner component 2 is automatically ejected, so that the detergent adding port of the inner liner component 2 is exposed, which is convenient for users to add detergent, and the inner liner component 2 that can be automatically ejected is more convenient for users to remove it from the accommodating cavity 11 for cleaning or replacement, thereby further optimizing the daily maintenance of the dispensing device.

[0035] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the liquid outlet of the inner liner component 2 is generally arranged at the end of the inner liner component 2 away from the opening 12. Therefore, the locking component 3 is arranged between the end of the inner liner component 2 away from the opening 12 and the accommodating chamber 11 to reduce the position offset of the liquid outlet of the inner liner component 2 and ensure that the liquid outlet of the inner liner component 2 can output detergent at a corresponding position in the accommodating chamber 11. Optionally, the locking component 3 includes a first locking component 31 and a second locking component 32. The first locking component 31 is arranged on the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 11 away from the opening 12, and the second locking component 32 is arranged at the end of the inner liner component 2 away from the opening 12. The first locking component 31 is matched with the second locking component 32. Optionally, the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are cooperatively connected to achieve mutual locking of the dispensing shell 1 and the liner assembly 2 to prevent the liner assembly 2 from moving in the accommodating chamber 11, that is, the relative position of the dispensing shell 1 and the liner assembly 2 remains unchanged, and since the liquid outlet of the liner assembly 2, the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are all arranged at an end away from the opening 12, the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are cooperatively connected to effectively position the liquid outlet of the liner assembly 2 to avoid positional displacement of the liquid outlet of the liner assembly 2, thereby ensuring that the liquid outlet of the liner assembly 2 can output detergent at a corresponding position in the accommodating chamber 11.

[0036] Preferably, the locking component 3 is preferably a rebound self-locking component, such as an elephant trunk rebounder, wherein the first locking piece 31 is a buckle of the elephant trunk rebounder, which is assembled on the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 11 away from the opening 12 through a fastener, and the second locking piece 32 is a fastener of the elephant trunk rebounder, which is assembled on the end of the inner liner component 2 away from the opening 12 through a fastener, or the second locking piece 32 and the inner liner component 2 are integrally formed to reduce production costs, so that the second locking piece 32 and the inner liner component 2 form a stable whole, and the inner liner component 2 can be better limited and fixed by the locking component 3. When the first locking piece 31 and the second locking piece 32 are matched and connected, the dispensing shell 1 and the inner liner component 2 are locked with each other, and the relative position remains unchanged. When detergent needs to be added or maintenance needs to be performed, the user can press the inner liner component 2 again to drive the first locking piece 31 and the second locking piece 32 to unlock, and the inner liner component 2 can The movable block 43 can move along the direction of the opening 12 to extend out of the accommodating chamber 11. Optionally, under the action of the elastic potential energy released by the elastic member 41, the movable block 43 drives the liner assembly 2 to move in the direction of the opening 12, so as to realize the automatic pop-up of the liner assembly 2 from the accommodating chamber 11, so that the detergent adding port of the liner assembly 2 is exposed. When the user pushes the liner assembly 2 back into the accommodating chamber 11, the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are re-locked with each other, thereby driving the delivery shell 1 and the liner assembly 2 to be locked with each other. In the process of pushing the liner assembly 2 into the accommodating chamber 11, the movable block 43 abuts against the liner assembly 2, and under the drive of the liner assembly 2, the movable block 43 compresses or stretches the elastic member 41 in the slide groove 42, so that the elastic member 41 stores elastic potential energy, so that when it is unlocked next time, the elastic potential energy is released to drive the liner assembly 2 to automatically pop out of the accommodating chamber 11. If the user fails to push the liner assembly 2 into the correct position, that is, the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 cannot be matched and connected, so the locking member 3 fails to lock the liner assembly 2 and the delivery shell 1, the elastic member 41 will elastically recover and push the liner assembly 2 out of the accommodating cavity 11, thereby reminding the user that the liner assembly 2 is currently pushed into the wrong position and needs to push the liner assembly 2 into the accommodating cavity 11 again until the locking member 3 locks the liner assembly 2 and the delivery shell 1.

[0037] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the liner assembly 2 includes a delivery bracket 21 and a detergent box 22 loaded with detergent. Optionally, the number of the detergent boxes 22 can be multiple, and the detergents include but are not limited to cleaning agents, softeners, degreasers, fragrance enhancers and disinfectants. The number of the detergent boxes 22 can correspond to the types of the detergents. Optionally, multiple detergents can be mixed in the corresponding detergent boxes 22 according to a preset ratio; preferably, an assembly position is provided on the delivery bracket 21, and optionally, the assembly position is corresponding to the detergent box 22. Optionally, the detergent box 22 is assembled in the assembly position by snap connection or adhesive connection. Optionally, the second locking member 32 is provided on the delivery bracket 21. The first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are matched and connected so that the delivery bracket 21 and the delivery shell 1 are locked with each other, thereby realizing the limitation of the detergent box 22 in the accommodating chamber 11, ensuring that the liquid outlet of the detergent box 22 can output detergent at the corresponding position in the accommodating chamber 11. Optionally, a spoiler channel 14 is provided at the bottom of the accommodating chamber 11, and the spoiler channel 14 can promote the mixing of clean water and detergent so that the washing device can achieve a better washing effect. The detergent box 22 is limited by the locking assembly 3 so that the liquid outlet of the detergent box 22 is correspondingly arranged with the liquid inlet of the spoiler channel 14, so that the detergent output from the detergent box 22 can accurately enter the spoiler channel 14.

[0038] Preferably, the detergent box 22 is assembled to the assembly position of the delivery bracket 21, and then the delivery bracket 21 equipped with the detergent box 22 is pushed into the accommodating chamber 11, the movable block 43 abuts against the delivery bracket 21, and under the drive of the delivery bracket 21, the movable block 43 compresses or stretches the elastic member 41 in the slide groove 42, so that the elastic member 41 stores elastic potential energy, and when the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are matched and connected to make the delivery bracket 21 and the delivery shell 1 lock each other, the detergent box 22 can be limited in the accommodating chamber 11. If the locking assembly 3 fails to lock the liner assembly 2 and the delivery shell 1, the elastic member 41 will elastically recover and push the liner assembly 2 out of the accommodating chamber 11, thereby reminding the user that the current position of the liner assembly 2 is wrong and needs to be reset. The liner assembly 2 is newly pushed into the accommodating cavity 11 until the locking assembly 3 locks the liner assembly 2 and the dispensing shell 1. When detergent needs to be added or maintenance is performed, the user can press the liner assembly 2 again to drive the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 to unlock, and the dispensing bracket 21 can move along the direction of the opening 12 to extend out of the accommodating cavity 11. Optionally, under the action of the elastic potential energy released by the elastic member 41, the movable block 43 drives the dispensing bracket 21 to move in the direction of the opening 12, so that the dispensing bracket 21 and the detergent box 22 are automatically ejected from the accommodating cavity 11, so that the detergent adding port of the liner assembly 2 is exposed, which is convenient for the user to add detergent. The liner assembly 2 that can be automatically ejected is more convenient for the user to remove it from the accommodating cavity 11 for cleaning or replacement, thereby further optimizing the daily maintenance of the dispensing device.

[0039] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, a reinforcing rib structure 13 for supporting the liner assembly 2 is provided at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11. The liner assembly 2 is supported by the reinforcing rib structure 13, thereby reducing the contact area between the delivery bracket 21 and the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11, and reducing the wear of the delivery bracket 21 during daily pulling and pulling. Optionally, the delivery bracket 21 abuts against the reinforcing rib structure 13, that is, when the movable block 43 drives the delivery bracket 21 to move toward the opening 12, friction is generated between the delivery bracket 21 and the reinforcing rib structure 13, and an effective buffer can be formed, thereby limiting the distance that the movable block 43 drives the delivery bracket 21 to move, and preventing the liner assembly 2 from directly popping out of the accommodating cavity 11 under the action of elastic potential energy, causing the liner assembly 2 to collide or fall, etc., that is, making full use of the structure in the accommodating cavity 11 to optimize the movement process of the liner assembly 2 for automatic pop-up and daily disassembly and assembly. Furthermore, the reinforcing rib structure 13 forms a spoiler channel 14 in the accommodating cavity 11, that is, the reinforcing rib structure 13 supporting the inner liner assembly 2 is used to form a spoiler channel 14 in the accommodating cavity 11. Optionally, the liquid inlet of the spoiler channel 14 is arranged corresponding to the liquid outlet of the inner liner assembly 2, that is, the liquid outlet of the detergent box 22 is arranged corresponding to the liquid inlet of the spoiler channel 14. The detergent output by the detergent box 22 can enter the spoiler channel 14 formed by the reinforcing rib structure 13 to extend the flow time of the detergent in the accommodating cavity 11, so that the detergent and clean water have enough time to mix during the flow process, thereby improving the overall mixing efficiency of the mixed liquid composed of liquids such as clean water and detergent, and achieving the purpose of making full use of the combination of various components to optimize the internal structure of the accommodating cavity 11, reducing the number of parts and components, and reducing production costs.

[0040] Preferably, the reinforcing rib structure 13 is integrally formed with the delivery shell 1. By utilizing the reinforcing rib structure 13 integrally formed with the delivery shell 1, the strength and rigidity of the delivery shell 1 can be improved at a relatively low cost, and deformation of the delivery shell 1 due to uneven force can be avoided, making the delivery shell 1 more stable and reliable. At the same time, the delivery bracket 21 is supported by the reinforcing rib structure 13, so that there is enough space between the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11 and the delivery bracket 21 to form a spoiler channel 14, thereby optimizing the internal structure of the product and making full use of the space in the accommodating cavity 11.

[0041] Preferably, it further comprises an outer cover plate 5, which is arranged at one end of the delivery bracket 21 close to the opening 12, and the opening 12 is connected with the outer cover plate 5. Optionally, the opening 12 is connected with the outer cover plate 5, so that when the inner tank assembly 2 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11, the outer cover plate 5 can achieve the sealing of the machine body to prevent external dust from invading the interior of the automatic delivery device. Optionally, the outer cover plate 5 is aligned with the shell of the washing device, so that the appearance of the washing device is consistent and the appearance of the machine body is more beautiful.

[0042] In some embodiments, a washing device comprises the automatic dispensing device as described above.

[0043] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the detergent box 22 is assembled to the assembly position of the delivery bracket 21, and then the delivery bracket 21 equipped with the detergent box 22 is placed on the reinforcing rib structure 13 of the accommodating chamber 11, and then the delivery bracket 21 is pushed into the accommodating chamber 11, during which the movable block 43 abuts against the delivery bracket 21, and under the drive of the delivery bracket 21, the movable block 43 compresses or stretches the elastic member 41 in the slide groove 42, so that the elastic member 41 stores elastic potential energy, when the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are matched and connected to make the delivery bracket 21 and the delivery shell 1 lock each other, the detergent box 22 can be limited in the accommodating chamber 11, and the liquid outlet of the detergent box 22 is correspondingly arranged with the liquid inlet of the spoiler channel 14 formed by the reinforcing rib structure 13; if the locking assembly 3 fails to lock the inner tank assembly 2 and the delivery shell 1, the elastic member 41 will elastically recover, and the inner tank When the user needs to add detergent or perform maintenance, the user can press the inner liner component 2 again to drive the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 to unlock, and the delivery bracket 21 can move along the direction of the opening 12 to extend out of the accommodating cavity 11, and under the action of the elastic potential energy released by the elastic member 41, the movable block 43 drives the delivery bracket 21 to move in the direction of the opening 12, so that the delivery bracket 21 and the detergent box 22 are automatically ejected from the accommodating cavity 11, so that the detergent adding port of the inner liner component 2 is exposed, which is convenient for the user to add detergent, and the inner liner component 2 that can be automatically ejected is more convenient for the user to remove it from the accommodating cavity 11 for cleaning or replacement, thereby further optimizing the daily maintenance of the delivery device.
