[0034] The embodiment of the present invention provides a detergent box, which can be used in clothes processing equipment such as washing machines, integrated washing and drying machines, etc. It should be noted that the application scenario type of the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the detergent box of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0035] The following description takes the application of a detergent box to a washing machine as an example. The detergent box is installed in the washing machine. The detergent box is used to contain washing liquids such as laundry detergent, softener, disinfectant, etc. for treating clothes. For the convenience of explanation, "detergent" is collectively referred to as the above-mentioned washing liquid. The liquid in the detergent box can be a single-time addition by the user for a single use, or it can be a single-time addition for multiple uses. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the use of the detergent box. During the clothing treatment process, the washing machine turns on the water inlet valve and introduces water into the detergent box to direct the liquid in the detergent box into the washing chamber for treating clothes. The detergent box can also be set in a variety of forms. For example, the detergent box can be integrated or split. In the case of a split body, refer to Figure 5As shown, the detergent box includes a main body 101 and a drawer 100. The main body 101 is hollow inside, and the drawer 100 is partially arranged inside the main body 101, and the drawer 100 can move relative to the main body 101. By setting the detergent box as a split structure, it is convenient for the user to pull out the drawer 100 and replenish new clothing treatment liquid into the drawer 100 in time.

[0036] An embodiment of the present invention provides a detergent box, such as Figure 1 As shown, the detergent box includes a box body assembly 1 and a stirring member 2. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the way the box body assembly is formed. For example, the box body assembly can be an integrated type or a split type. Figure 1 The embodiment shown is a split box assembly 1. Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the drawer 100 in the box assembly 1. The embodiment of the present invention is described by taking the box assembly 1 of the split type as an example.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the box assembly 1 is provided with a first cavity 11 for accommodating detergent, and the box assembly 1 is also provided with a second cavity 111 for accommodating washing powder. The box assembly 1 can store solid laundry detergent and liquid detergent separately to facilitate the independent use of different products.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, an opening 12 is provided at one end of the first cavity 11. Generally speaking, taking a drawer as an example, the top opening 12 of the drawer is for the convenience of users to put in detergent. The opening 12 provided at one end of the first cavity 11 of the embodiment of the present invention is also used to receive liquid. The box assembly 1 is also provided with an outlet 13 ( Figure 3 The outlet 13 is arranged at the position indicated in the figure, and the liquid in the first cavity 11 can be introduced from the opening 12 and discharged from the outlet 13. Specifically, the user can put detergent into the first cavity 11 through the opening 12. When the clothing treatment device is in working state, the clothing treatment device is connected to the water inlet valve, and the water inlet valve introduces water flow into the first cavity 11. The water flow is mixed and stirred with the detergent in the first cavity 11, and drives the detergent to be discharged from the outlet 13 into the washing cavity of the clothing treatment device, which is a cavity in the clothing treatment device for accommodating clothing.

[0039] like Figure 1As shown, the stirring member 2 is arranged in the first cavity 11, and at least part of the stirring member 2 can move driven by the liquid in the first cavity 11 to drive the stirring member 2 to move relative to the first cavity 11 to clean the box body assembly 1. That is to say, in the working state of clothing processing, after the water flow introduced by the water inlet valve enters the first cavity, the liquid mixture flows to the outlet of the first cavity, and the liquid forms a certain liquid flow path from entering the first cavity to flowing to the outlet. When the flowing liquid contacts the stirring member 2, the power of the liquid can be converted into the mechanical force of the stirring member, so that the stirring member 2 can move relative to the first cavity 11. That is to say, the liquid flowing in the first cavity 11 can drive the stirring member 2 to automatically move relative to the first cavity 11, and the stirring member 2 can break up the viscous detergents such as softener and laundry detergent adhered to the box body assembly, so that the adhered detergent floats in the water, so that the broken mucus can be flushed to the outlet to rinse the box body assembly clean. It should be noted that, Figure 1 As shown, the outlet 13 in the embodiment of the present invention can be configured as a siphon hole.

[0040] There are some relatively viscous detergents such as laundry detergent and softener on the market. When the above-mentioned viscous detergent is put into the first cavity 11, the viscous detergent has weak fluidity and a strong adsorption force on the inner wall of the box body assembly. When the water flow introduced by the water inlet valve is small, the detergent is likely to adhere to the box body assembly, resulting in the detergent in the box body assembly not being rinsed clean, affecting the cleaning effect of the clothing processing equipment, and the residual detergent is also likely to breed bacteria.

[0041] The embodiment of the present invention provides a detergent box, which includes a box body assembly and a stirring member. A first cavity for accommodating detergent is provided inside the box body assembly, an opening is provided at one end of the first cavity for receiving liquid, the box body assembly is also provided with an outlet connected to the first cavity, the liquid in the first cavity can be introduced from the opening and discharged from the outlet, the stirring member is arranged in the first cavity, and the stirring member can move relative to the first cavity driven by the liquid in the first cavity to clean the box body assembly. The embodiment of the present invention arranges the stirring member in the first cavity, and the stirring member can automatically move relative to the first cavity under the action of the liquid flow in the first cavity, so that the stirring member can fully stir the detergent in the first cavity, improve the fluidity of the detergent, and reduce the risk of the detergent adhering to the box body assembly; and the stirring member is driven to move relative to the first cavity by the flow of the liquid in the first cavity itself, without the need to set up an additional driving device, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost of the product and improving the market competitiveness of the product.

[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 3As shown, the distance between the stirring member 2 and at least the first bottom wall 14 of the box assembly 1 is less than a set value. In some embodiments, the set value is greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than or equal to 0.2 mm. The liquid in the first cavity 11 can drive the stirring member 2 to move relative to the first bottom wall 14. It should be noted that the box assembly 1 has an inner wall close to the first cavity, and the first bottom wall 14 represents the inner wall of the lower end, that is, the inner wall of the lower end of the detergent box in the use state is the first bottom wall 14. At least close to the first bottom wall 14 in the embodiment of the present invention means that the stirring member 2 in the embodiment of the present invention can be set as one or more. In the case of setting one, the stirring member 2 is close to the first bottom wall 14. In the case of setting multiple, the stirring member 2 can be set close to other wall surfaces of the box assembly in addition to being set close to the first bottom wall 14, so as to improve the stirring and cleaning effect of the stirring member on the adjacent wall surface of the first cavity and reduce the risk of detergent residue on each wall surface.

[0043] Due to the effect of gravity, more liquid remains on the first bottom wall than on other inner walls, and the adhesion force is also greater than on other inner walls. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, by making the distance between the stirring element and the first bottom wall smaller than a set value, the liquid can drive the stirring element to move relative to the first bottom wall, thereby facilitating direct stirring of the detergent adhered to the first bottom wall, thereby improving the fluidity of the detergent adhered to the first bottom wall and reducing the risk of the detergent adhering to the first bottom wall.

[0044] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention do not limit the relative movement mode of the stirring member 2 and the first cavity 11. For example, the stirring member 2 can move parallel to the first cavity 11, that is, the stirring member 2 can move parallel to the length direction or the width direction or a certain straight line direction of the first cavity 11; the stirring member 2 can also rotate relative to the first cavity 11, for example, the stirring member 2 is rotatably connected to the first bottom wall; or the stirring member 2 can perform a mixed movement relative to the first cavity 11, that is, the movement mode of the stirring member 2 relative to the first cavity can be a regular motion trajectory or an irregular motion trajectory. No matter which movement mode is adopted, it is sufficient as long as the liquid flow in the first cavity can automatically drive the stirring member to move relative to the first cavity.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, the first end 21 of the stirring member 2 is hinged to the box body assembly 1, and the second end 22 of the stirring member 2 can swing relative to the first end. Swinging means that the second end rotates with the first end as the center. The first end 21 can be the end of the stirring member 2 in the length direction, or the middle of the stirring member 2 in the length direction. The stirring member 2 and the box body assembly 1 can be connected at any position in the length direction, as long as the stirring member 2 can rotate relative to the box body assembly 1. The second end 22 of the stirring member 2 represents the end of the stirring member 2 in the length direction, and the second end 22 can swing relative to the first end 21. In the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the movement mode of the stirring member and the box body assembly to a swinging mode, the liquid impacting the second end can drive the entire stirring member to rotate, and the efficiency of converting the liquid power into mechanical energy is high, which is conducive to improving the stirring efficiency of the stirring member on the detergent residue in the first cavity and reducing the risk of detergent residue.

[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the second end 22 of the stirring member 2 is close to the outlet 13 relative to the first end 21 of the stirring member 2. When the clothes processing device is in working state, the flow direction of the liquid introduced into the first cavity 11 by the water inlet valve will be toward the direction of the outlet 13. By arranging the second end 22 of the stirring member 2 at a position close to the outlet 13, the liquid in the first cavity 11 can contact the second end 22 of the stirring member 2 as much as possible, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of power conversion, thereby improving the stirring effect of the stirring member 2.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the outlet 13 of the box assembly 1 is arranged at one end of the first bottom wall 14 in the first direction ( Figure 2 The first end 21 of the stirring member 2 and the other end of the first bottom wall 14 in the first direction ( Figure 2 The first direction in the embodiment of the present invention can be defined as the length direction of the first cavity. When the water inlet valve introduces water flow into the first cavity, the position where the water flow enters the first cavity can be set at the other end of the first direction ( Figure 2 The outlet 13 is arranged at one end of the first direction ( Figure 2 That is to say, the flow path of the water flow covers the first direction as much as possible, so that the water flow converts the kinetic energy into the mechanical energy of the stirring element 2 as much as possible, thereby improving the continuity of the movement of the stirring element and further reducing the risk of detergent residue.

[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, the shortest distance L1 between the second end 22 of the stirring member 2 and the outlet 13 is greater than or equal to 2 mm and less than or equal to 3 mm. It should be noted that when the distance between the second end 22 of the stirring member 2 and the outlet 13 is too close, the movement of the stirring member 2 will be interfered by the outlet. When the distance between the second end 22 of the stirring member 2 and the outlet is too far, there is a large blank area between the second end and the outlet that cannot be stirred. Detergent is easily left in the blank area and cannot be flushed, and there is a risk of detergent residue. The embodiment of the present invention limits the shortest distance between the second end 22 of the stirring member 2 and the outlet 13 to a certain range, which can not only ensure the efficiency of the movement of the stirring member, but also meet a wider range of stirring effects and reduce the risk of detergent residue.

[0049] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the box assembly 1 is in a first direction ( Figure 2 Specifically, the box body assembly 1 has two opposite first side walls 15 in the first direction, and the shortest distance L2 between the first end 21 of the stirring member 2 and the first side wall 15 in the first direction is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 5 mm. The shortest distance between the first end 21 of the stirring member 2 and the first side wall 15 represents the distance between the first end 21 and the first side wall 15. Figure 2 The embodiment of the present invention limits the shortest distance between the stirring element 2 and the first side wall 15. This can increase the stirring range of the stirring element 2 while reducing the risk of interference of the first side wall with the movement of the stirring element, thereby reducing the risk of detergent residue.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the stirring member includes a first stirring part and a second stirring part. The first stirring part is movably connected to the box body assembly, and the second stirring part is movably connected to the first stirring part. The second stirring part drives the first stirring part to move relative to the box body assembly under the impact of the liquid. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific shape and other parameters of the first stirring part and the second stirring part, as long as the first stirring part can move under the drive of the liquid, and the moving first stirring part can drive the second stirring part to further move.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 4As shown, the first stirring part is set as a swing rod 23, and the second stirring part is set as an impeller 24. The two ends of the swing rod 23 in the length direction are respectively a first end 21 and a second end 22, and the impeller 24 is movably connected to the second end 22 of the swing rod 23. In some embodiments, the impeller 24 can rotate relative to the swing rod 23, and the impeller 24 drives the second end 22 of the swing rod 23 to swing relative to the first end 21 under the impact of the liquid. Specifically, during the flow of liquid in the first cavity, the liquid impacts the impeller 24, and the impact force acts on the impeller 24, and the impeller 24 generates a reaction force, which drives the second end 22 to swing relative to the first end 21. In the embodiment of the present invention, by arranging the impeller on the swing rod, the impeller can accept the force of the water flow impacting from all directions, which is more conducive to driving the swing rod to move under the impact of water flow in different directions, thereby improving the efficiency of the continuous movement of the swing rod.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one end of the rocker 23 in the thickness direction ( Figure 3 The lower end in the direction of the arrow in the middle) is close to the first bottom wall 14 of the box body assembly 1, and the other end ( Figure 3 The embodiment of the present invention sets the impeller at the end of the swing rod away from the first bottom wall, so that the movement of the impeller will not be disturbed by the first bottom wall, and the impeller can receive as much impact of the water flow as possible. At the same time, the setting position of the impeller will not interfere with the setting position relationship between the swing rod and the first bottom wall, so that the swing rod and the first bottom wall are stirred as much as possible, so as to improve the efficiency of the movement of the stirring member 2 and reduce the risk of detergent residue.

[0053] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a clothes processing device, Figure 5 As shown, the laundry treatment device includes a detergent box, a water inlet valve and a controller according to any of the above embodiments. The detergent box includes a box body assembly and a stirring member, the water inlet valve is used to open and close the connection with the first cavity, and the water inlet valve is used to introduce liquid into the first cavity. Figure 5 As shown, the box assembly ( Figure 5The main body 101 shown is provided with a water inlet 102, and the water inlet valve is connected to the water inlet 102. A first cavity for accommodating detergent is provided inside the box assembly, and an opening is provided at one end of the first cavity for receiving liquid. The box assembly is also provided with an outlet connected to the first cavity, and the liquid in the first cavity can be introduced from the opening and discharged from the outlet. The stirring member is arranged in the first cavity, and the stirring member can move relative to the first cavity driven by the liquid in the first cavity to clean the box assembly. In the embodiment of the present invention, a stirring member is arranged in the first cavity, and the stirring member can automatically move relative to the first cavity under the action of the liquid flow in the first cavity, so that the stirring member can fully stir the detergent in the first cavity, improve the fluidity of the detergent, and reduce the risk of the detergent adhering to the box assembly; and the stirring member is driven to move relative to the first cavity by the flow of the liquid in the first cavity itself, without the need to set up an additional driving device, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost of the product and improving the market competitiveness of the product.

[0054] The controller in the embodiment of the present invention is used to control the water inlet valve to conduct liquid to the first cavity for a first time period, and after the first time period, control the water inlet valve to continue to close the water inlet valve for a second time period, and control the water inlet valve to switch the set number of times in the above manner. The embodiment of the present invention controls the rhythm of the water flow introduced into the first cavity by the water inlet valve through the controller.

[0055] During the main water inlet stage of the clothing processing equipment, water is mainly inletted into the second cavity of the washing powder and the washing liquid. The controller first controls the water inlet valve to conduct water flow to the second cavity for a first time period, for example, first conducts water flow to the second cavity for 30 seconds, and then controls the water inlet valve to close for a second time period, for example, controls the water inlet valve to close for 10 seconds, then conducts water flow to the second cavity for 30 seconds, and then closes for 10 seconds. The opening and closing of the water inlet valve is controlled in sequence according to the above rhythm, which is beneficial for the water in the second cavity to be fully siphoned before water inletting again. The water flow can directly flush the bottom of the second cavity, thereby better improving the flushing effect.

[0056] At the last rinse of laundry in the clothing processing equipment, the first cavity is mainly flushed. The controller first controls the water inlet valve to conduct water flow to the first cavity for a first period of time, for example, first conducts water flow to the first cavity for 30 seconds, and then controls the water inlet valve to close for a second period of time, for example, controls the water inlet valve to close for 10 seconds, then conducts water flow to the first cavity for 30 seconds, and then closes for 10 seconds. The opening and closing of the water inlet valve is controlled in sequence according to the above rhythm, which is beneficial for the water in the first cavity to be fully siphoned before water is introduced again. The water flow can directly flush the bottom of the first cavity, thereby better improving the flushing effect.

[0057] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific value of the first time length or the second time length. The first time length or the second time length can be determined according to parameters such as the flow rate of the liquid conducted by the water inlet valve or the capacity of the second cavity, the size of the outlet, etc.

[0058] The embodiment of the present invention further provides a clothes processing device, which includes a detergent box according to any of the above embodiments, a water inlet valve, a detector and a controller. The detergent box includes a box body assembly and a stirring member, the water inlet valve is used to open and close the conduction with the first cavity, and the water inlet valve is used to introduce liquid into the first cavity. Figure 5 As shown, the box assembly ( Figure 5 The main body 101 shown is provided with a water inlet 102, and the water inlet valve is connected to the water inlet 102. A first cavity for accommodating detergent is provided inside the box assembly, and an opening is provided at one end of the first cavity for receiving liquid. The box assembly is also provided with an outlet connected to the first cavity, and the liquid in the first cavity can be introduced from the opening and discharged from the outlet. The stirring member is arranged in the first cavity, and the stirring member can move relative to the first cavity driven by the liquid in the first cavity to clean the box assembly. In the embodiment of the present invention, a stirring member is arranged in the first cavity, and the stirring member can automatically move relative to the first cavity under the action of the liquid flow in the first cavity, so that the stirring member can fully stir the detergent in the first cavity, improve the fluidity of the detergent, and reduce the risk of the detergent adhering to the box assembly; and the stirring member is driven to move relative to the first cavity by the flow of the liquid in the first cavity itself, without the need to set up an additional driving device, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost of the product and improving the market competitiveness of the product.

[0059] The detector in the embodiment of the present invention is used to detect the position of the liquid in the first cavity; the controller is used to control the water inlet valve to conduct the liquid to the first cavity when the liquid in the first cavity is lower than the first set height, and to control the water inlet valve to stop conducting the liquid to the first cavity when the liquid in the first cavity is higher than the second set height. It should be noted that when the water flow introduced by the water inlet valve is unstable, there will be a certain error in controlling the opening and closing of the water inlet valve according to the set time. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention detects the position of the liquid in the first cavity through the detector. After the liquid in the first cavity is drained, the water inlet valve can be controlled to enter the water. When the water in the first cavity reaches the second set height, it means that the first cavity is full of water, and then the water inlet valve is controlled to close the water inlet. The use of the detector can accurately control the opening and closing state of the water inlet valve in real time, so as to fully flush the first cavity in coordination with the water level state in the first cavity, so as to reduce the risk of residual detergent in the first cavity.
