Those skilled in the art can understand that the words "first", "second" and the like do not limit the quantity and execution order, and the words "first", "second" and the like do not limit them to be necessarily different.

[0046] In addition, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements explicitly listed, but may include other steps or elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0047] With the improvement of people's living standards, washing equipment, especially washing machines, have become essential household appliances for every household. Users have higher and higher requirements for the intelligent programs of washing machines. In order to meet users' requirements for the convenience of the washing process, in the relevant technology, most washing machines are equipped with automatic detergent dispensing devices, which can automatically add detergent to the washing tub to avoid users adding detergent manually. When the automatic detergent dispensing device is in use, the user needs to add detergent to the automatic detergent dispensing device at regular intervals. However, since the automatic detergent dispensing device usually needs to be set in the washing machine, the user cannot intuitively judge whether it is necessary to add detergent to the automatic detergent dispensing device. When adding, it is also impossible to determine the amount of detergent to be added to the automatic detergent dispensing device, causing inconvenience to the user.

[0048] According to a first aspect of the embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 1 to Figure 2As shown, a control method for delivering liquid is provided, which is used for a delivery device capable of delivering liquid, the delivery device comprising a liquid storage chamber for storing liquid, the liquid storage chamber being divided into a first sub-chamber and a second sub-chamber, the control method comprising step S100: determining whether liquid needs to be supplemented in the first sub-chamber according to whether the amount of liquid in the first sub-chamber reaches a first preset value, whether the amount of liquid in the second sub-chamber reaches a second preset value, and the total amount of liquid in the liquid storage chamber, and / or, if liquid needs to be supplemented, determining the amount of supplemented liquid, wherein the first preset value is less than the maximum liquid storage amount of the first sub-chamber, and the second preset value is less than the maximum liquid storage amount of the second sub-chamber.

[0049] Through the above technical solution, it is possible to determine whether the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with liquid according to whether the amount of liquid in the first sub-cavity reaches the first preset value, whether the amount of liquid in the second sub-cavity reaches the second preset value, and the total amount of liquid in the liquid storage cavity. Furthermore, in the case where liquid needs to be supplemented, the amount of supplemented liquid can be directly determined. In this way, when the dispensing device is applied to a clothing processing device with a washing function, even if the dispensing device is set in the clothing processing device, the user can know whether it is necessary to add detergent to the dispensing device without seeing the dispensing device. At the same time, when the user adds detergent to the dispensing device, the amount of detergent to be put can also be determined, thereby ensuring the user's experience. It also avoids the problem that the user puts in too much detergent, causing the detergent to overflow, and it also avoids the problem that the user puts in insufficient detergent into the dispensing device, causing the user to frequently put detergent into the detergent dispensing device.

[0050] The first preset value and the second preset value mentioned above may refer to the minimum unit content of the liquid in the sub-cavity when the delivery device is used. For example, the first sub-cavity will reduce the liquid content in the first sub-cavity by X after the delivery device is used once. Here, X can be called the minimum unit content of the liquid in the sub-cavity when the delivery device is used, and X can be the first preset value. Taking the first preset value as X as an example, when the amount of liquid represented by the real-time liquid pressure M1 at the bottom of the first sub-cavity does not reach the first preset value, it means that the liquid in the first sub-cavity is not enough for the delivery device to be used once. At this time, it means that the liquid in the first sub-cavity is insufficient and needs to be replenished in time. When the amount of liquid represented by the real-time liquid pressure M1 at the bottom of the first sub-cavity reaches the first preset value, it means that the liquid in the sub-cavity can at least meet the delivery device for one use. However, whether it can meet the delivery device for multiple uses needs to be further determined based on the second sub-cavity and the liquid storage cavity.

[0051] In some embodiments, it is possible to determine whether the first sub-cavity needs to be replenished with liquid, and / or, if liquid replenishment is needed, determine the amount of liquid to be replenished, based on whether the amount of liquid represented by the real-time liquid pressure M1 at the bottom of the first sub-cavity reaches a first preset value, whether the amount of liquid represented by the real-time liquid pressure M2 at the bottom of the second sub-cavity reaches a second preset value, the real-time liquid pressure M3 at the bottom of the liquid storage cavity, and the liquid pressure M4 at the bottom when the maximum amount of liquid is stored in the storage cavity. In this way, not only the amount of liquid in a single cavity is taken into account, but also the state of the liquid storage cavity is integrated, thereby improving the accuracy and flexibility of judging whether the first sub-cavity needs to be replenished with liquid. In practical applications, this helps to ensure timely replenishment of detergent or other liquids, while avoiding the problem of excess or deficiency, and improving user experience and equipment operating efficiency.

[0052] The real-time liquid pressure at the bottom of the cavity represents the pressure generated by the liquid in the cavity at the bottom of the cavity, that is, the gravity of the liquid. When the liquid level in the cavity changes, the content of the liquid in the cavity will also change. The change in the gravity of the liquid will also cause the gravity generated by the liquid on the bottom of the cavity to change. In this way, according to the real-time liquid pressure at the bottom of the cavity, the liquid level in the cavity can be reflected in a disguised manner, and further, it can be judged whether the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with liquid, and when liquid needs to be supplemented, the amount of supplemented liquid can be further determined. In some embodiments, the real-time liquid pressure at the bottom of the cavity can be obtained by a pressure sensor disposed at the bottom of the cavity. It should be noted that when obtaining the real-time liquid pressure at the bottom of the cavity, the weight of the cavity shell needs to be removed to avoid interference of the weight of the cavity shell with the judgment of the liquid level in the cavity. In this way, only two pressure sensors are used to determine the liquid level in the cavity.

[0053] Further, when the amount of liquid represented by the real-time liquid pressure M1 is greater than or equal to the first preset value, it can be determined whether the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with liquid, and / or, if liquid needs to be supplemented, the amount of supplemented liquid can be determined. According to whether the amount of liquid represented by the real-time liquid pressure M1 at the bottom of the first sub-cavity reaches the first preset value, the approximate range of the liquid in the first cavity can be judged, and further, according to whether the amount of liquid represented by the real-time liquid pressure M2 reaches the second preset value, the real-time liquid pressure M3, and the real-time liquid pressure M4, it can be judged whether the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with liquid. The hierarchy and accuracy of the judgment are increased. It is ensured that only when the amount of liquid in the first sub-cavity is sufficient, other factors, such as the amount of liquid in the second sub-cavity and the capacity state of the overall liquid storage cavity, will be considered. This design helps to balance the liquid demand between different cavities and ensure the stable operation of the entire delivery device. At the same time, it also reduces unnecessary liquid replenishment operations and improves overall efficiency.

[0054] Specifically, when the amount of liquid in the first sub-cavity reaches the first preset value, the amount of liquid in the second sub-cavity reaches the second preset value, and the total amount of liquid in the liquid storage cavity is greater than or equal to the set ratio of the maximum liquid storage amount of the liquid storage cavity, it can be determined that the first sub-cavity does not need to be replenished with liquid. When the amount of liquid in the first sub-cavity reaches the first preset value and the amount of liquid in the second sub-cavity reaches the second preset value, it means that at this time, both cavities have a certain amount of liquid. When the total amount of liquid in the liquid storage cavity is greater than or equal to the set ratio of the maximum liquid storage amount of the liquid storage cavity, it means that at this time, the total amount of liquid in the two cavities is close to the maximum liquid storage amount of the liquid storage cavity, which further indicates that the amount of liquid in the two cavities is relatively sufficient, and at this time, the first sub-cavity does not need to be replenished with liquid.

[0055] When the amount of liquid in the first sub-chamber reaches the first preset value, the amount of liquid in the second sub-chamber reaches the second preset value, and the total amount of liquid in the liquid storage chamber is less than the set ratio of the maximum liquid storage amount of the liquid storage chamber, it can be determined that the first sub-chamber needs to be supplemented with liquid, and it is determined that the first sub-chamber needs to be supplemented with the first liquid amount L1. When the amount of liquid in the first sub-chamber reaches the first preset value and the amount of liquid in the second sub-chamber reaches the second preset value, it means that at this time, both cavities have a certain amount of liquid, but when the total amount of liquid in the liquid storage chamber is less than the set ratio of the maximum liquid storage amount of the liquid storage chamber, it means that at this time, the total amount of liquid in the two cavities is still far from the maximum liquid storage amount of the liquid storage chamber, further indicating that although there is liquid in the first sub-chamber, the amount of liquid is not sufficient. At this time, the first sub-chamber needs to be supplemented with liquid, and it is necessary to further determine that the first sub-chamber needs to be supplemented with the first liquid amount L1. After the first sub-chamber is supplemented with the first liquid amount L1, the amount of liquid in the first sub-chamber can become sufficient.

[0056] In some embodiments, determining that the first sub-chamber needs to be replenished with the first liquid amount L1 may include: the first liquid amount L1 is: L1 = (L2*X) / (X+Y), wherein L2 is the maximum liquid storage capacity of the liquid storage chamber, and the ratio of the volume of the second sub-chamber to the volume of the first sub-chamber is X / Y. The method for calculating the first liquid amount L1 required to be replenished in the first sub-chamber takes into account the proportional relationship between the volumes of the two sub-chambers, which can avoid the overflow of liquid from the first sub-chamber when the user replenishes the liquid, and can also avoid the problem that the user will not replenish the insufficient liquid. The design of the above formula not only simplifies the calculation process, but also ensures that each time the liquid is replenished in the first sub-chamber, it can be carried out in the correct proportion, which helps to maintain the stability of detergent delivery and improve the laundry effect and user experience.

[0057] The dispensing device may further include a first liquid level sensor disposed in the first sub-cavity and a second liquid level sensor disposed in the second sub-cavity, and the control method may further include steps S200 and S300, wherein step S200 includes: determining whether the amount of liquid represented by the real-time liquid pressure M1 at the bottom of the first sub-cavity reaches a first preset value according to whether the first liquid level sensor is triggered; and step S300 includes: determining whether the amount of liquid represented by the real-time liquid pressure M2 at the bottom of the second sub-cavity reaches a second preset value according to whether the second liquid level sensor is triggered. The liquid pressure is indirectly measured by using the trigger signal of the liquid level sensor disposed in each sub-cavity, thereby improving the accuracy and timeliness of the judgment. When the first liquid level sensor is triggered, it indicates that the amount of liquid represented by the real-time liquid pressure M1 at the bottom of the first sub-cavity has reached the first preset value. In this way, even without direct contact with the liquid, the approximate range of the amount of liquid in the first sub-cavity can be accurately monitored.

[0058] In the present application, it is not necessary to accurately obtain the liquid content in the first sub-cavity. It is only necessary to determine the interval or range of the liquid content in the first sub-cavity, that is, whether the real-time liquid pressure at the bottom of the cavity reaches a preset value, to determine whether the liquid content in the first sub-cavity needs to be replenished and the amount of liquid that needs to be replenished. Compared with the prior art, which requires accurate acquisition of the liquid content in the cavity before determining whether the liquid content in the cavity needs to be replenished and the amount of liquid that needs to be replenished, the control method in the present application is more convenient, so that even when the detection accuracy is not high, accurate judgment can be achieved. At the same time, in the process of judgment, the present application will combine the status of the two cavities and the overall state of the liquid storage cavity to further ensure the accuracy of the judgment.

[0059] The control method may also include: when the amount of liquid in the first sub-cavity does not reach the first preset value, determining that the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with liquid, and determining that the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with a second amount of liquid L2, the second amount of liquid L2 being the maximum liquid storage amount of the first sub-cavity minus the first preset value. As described above, when the first preset value is the minimum unit content of the liquid in the sub-cavity when the delivery device is used, when the amount of liquid represented by the real-time liquid pressure M1 at the bottom of the first sub-cavity does not reach the first preset value, it means that the liquid in the first sub-cavity is no longer sufficient for the delivery device to be used once, which means that the liquid in the first sub-cavity is very little at this time, and needs to be supplemented as soon as possible to prevent affecting the normal use of the delivery device and avoid the failure of the delivery device due to lack of liquid, which helps to improve the stability of the device and the convenience of the user. At the same time, the second amount of liquid L2 is the maximum liquid storage amount of the first sub-cavity minus the first preset value, which ensures that when the amount of liquid in the first sub-cavity does not reach the first preset value and the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with liquid, the amount of liquid supplemented by the user will not be too much to cause liquid overflow.

[0060] In some embodiments, the control method may further include: when it is determined that the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with a first liquid amount L1, detecting the amount of liquid supplemented into the first sub-cavity, when the amount of liquid supplemented into the first sub-cavity is greater than or equal to the first liquid amount L1, controlling the dispensing device to send a first signal, the first signal is a signal to remind the user to stop replenishing liquid into the first sub-cavity. Further, it is determined that the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with a second liquid amount L2, detecting the amount of liquid supplemented into the first sub-cavity, when the amount of liquid supplemented into the first sub-cavity is greater than or equal to the second liquid amount L2, controlling the dispensing device to send a first signal, the first signal is a signal to remind the user to stop replenishing liquid into the first sub-cavity. When it is determined that the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with liquid, the system will send a reminder signal when the predetermined supplement amount is reached, informing the user to stop adding. It can effectively prevent users from overfilling detergent, save resources and reduce the possible waste of detergent, and improve the user's convenience of operation. At the same time, for those users who are not familiar with the operation of the dispensing device, it is also a very practical safety measure, which reduces the possibility of misoperation and improves the friendliness of the dispensing device.

[0061] Furthermore, when it is necessary to add liquid to the first sub-cavity, the dispensing device can be controlled to send a second signal, and the second signal is a signal to remind the user to add liquid to the first sub-cavity. In this way, the user can clearly know that the first sub-cavity needs to be replenished with liquid. In the present application, the types of the first signal and the second signal are not limited. The first signal and the second signal can be light signals, that is, through the flashing of light or the color of light, remind the user whether to add liquid or stop adding liquid. The first signal and the second signal can be sound signals, that is, through the size of the sound or the type of timbre of the sound, remind the user whether to add liquid or stop adding liquid.

[0062] It should be noted that, although the control method of the present application is used to determine whether liquid needs to be replenished in the first sub-cavity and determine the amount of liquid to be replenished, the control method of the present application actually also discloses a control method for determining whether liquid needs to be replenished in the second sub-cavity and determining the amount of liquid to be replenished, and the control method for determining whether liquid needs to be replenished in the second sub-cavity and determining the amount of liquid to be replenished has the same logic as the control method for determining whether liquid needs to be replenished in the first sub-cavity and determining the amount of liquid to be replenished.

[0063] For example, when the dispensing device is applied to a clothing processing device such as a washing machine, the two sub-cavities of the dispensing device can be used to contain detergent and softener respectively. When it is necessary to judge whether the detergent needs to be replenished and determine the amount of the replenished detergent, the cavity containing the detergent can be defined as the first sub-cavity, and the cavity containing the softener is the second sub-cavity. Correspondingly, when it is necessary to judge whether the softener needs to be replenished and determine the amount of the replenished softener, the sub-cavity containing the softener can be defined as the first sub-cavity, and the cavity containing the detergent is the second sub-cavity. That is, in the present application, the first sub-cavity and the second sub-cavity are replaced with each other, that is, the present application discloses both a control method for judging whether liquid needs to be replenished in the first sub-cavity and determining the amount of liquid to be replenished, and a control method for judging whether liquid needs to be replenished in the second sub-cavity and determining the amount of liquid to be replenished.

[0064] According to the second aspect of an embodiment of the present application, an electronic device is provided, including a memory and a processor, the memory being used to store a computer program; a controller being used to execute the computer program to implement the steps of the control method of any of the above-mentioned embodiments, and the electronic device has all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned control method, which will not be repeated here.

[0065] According to a third aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a clothing treatment device is provided, the clothing treatment device has a dispensing device, the dispensing device includes a liquid storage chamber for storing liquid, the liquid storage chamber is divided into a first sub-chamber and a second sub-chamber, the first sub-chamber is used to store detergent, and the second sub-chamber is used to store softener, the clothing treatment device is used to perform any of the above control methods, or includes the electronic device as described above, the clothing treatment device has all the beneficial effects of the above control method, which will not be repeated here. The first sub-chamber can be used to hold detergent, and the second sub-chamber can be used to hold softener. Correspondingly, the volume of the first sub-chamber and the volume of the second sub-chamber can be determined according to the usage ratio of detergent and softener. For example, in a washing process, the ratio of detergent and softener to be used is 3:2, then the volume ratio of the first sub-chamber and the second sub-chamber can be 3:2, so that when liquid needs to be replenished, detergent and softener can be replenished at the same time, reducing the number of times the user adds liquid to the dispensing device.

[0066] Specifically, Figures 3 to 8As shown, a treatment agent delivery device is provided, which is used for a treatment device with a washing function, and the treatment device has a washing drum for accommodating items to be washed; the treatment agent delivery device includes a treatment agent delivery component and a treatment agent storage component; the treatment agent delivery component includes a shell 100 and a delivery box 101, the shell 100 is formed with a delivery cavity 102 inside, and the upper end of the delivery cavity 102 is formed with a cavity upper opening 103; the delivery box 101 can be pushed and pulled in the delivery cavity 102 through the cavity upper opening 103, and the delivery box 101 can be turned over relative to the shell 100; the delivery box 101 01 is formed with a box opening 104 at the upper end; a guide channel 105 connecting the box opening 104 and the delivery cavity 102 is formed inside the delivery box 101; the treatment agent storage assembly includes a storage box 200, and a liquid storage cavity 201 is formed inside the storage box 200. The storage box 200 is arranged on the shell 100 and is located below the delivery cavity 102. The liquid storage cavity 201 is used to connect the liquid delivery cavity and the washing drum; the delivery box 101 is configured to be flipped relative to the shell 100 when it is pushed and pulled to the cavity opening 103, so that the box opening 104 extends out of the delivery cavity 102.

[0067] Through the above technical solution, when the content of the treatment agent in the liquid storage chamber 201 is insufficient, the user can push and pull the delivery box 101 so that the delivery box 101 can be turned over relative to the shell 100, so that the opening 104 on the box can extend out of the delivery chamber 102, and the user can deliver the treatment agent into the liquid storage chamber 201 through the opening 104 on the box, and the detergent in the liquid storage chamber 201 will enter the washing drum again according to the instructions. When using the treatment equipment, the user only needs to deliver the treatment agent when the content of the treatment agent in the liquid storage chamber 201 is insufficient, which reduces the number of times the user needs to deliver the treatment agent. At the same time, the user can directly realize the switch of the treatment agent delivery device through push-pull operations, which is more convenient for the delivery of the treatment agent and also ensures the user experience. The opening 104 on the box can extend out of the delivery chamber 102, so that the treatment agent delivery component is more integrated, the volume of the treatment agent delivery device is reduced, and the arrangement of the treatment agent delivery device is more convenient.

[0068] The treatment agent delivery device may further include a bracket 106, which is disposed in the delivery cavity 102, and an installation space is formed inside the bracket 106; the delivery box 101 is disposed in the installation space; the bracket 106 and the delivery box 101 are arranged in the following manner: the delivery box 101 can slide up and down in the delivery cavity 102 along with the bracket 106, and when the delivery box 101 slides to the cavity upper opening 103, the delivery box 101 can flip forward and backward relative to the bracket 106. The bracket 106 can drive the delivery box 101 to slide and / or flip when subjected to force, and the user can drive the delivery box 101 to slide and / or flip through the bracket 106.

[0069] The delivery box 101 can be slidably disposed in the delivery cavity 102, or can be turned over in the delivery cavity 102. The cavity upper opening 103 is opened on the side wall of the delivery cavity 102. The delivery box 101 is configured to be able to slide in the delivery cavity 102 and turn over toward the cavity upper opening 103 when sliding, so that the box upper opening 104 can at least partially extend out of the cavity upper opening 103. For details, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , at 7 and Figure 8 In the embodiment, the delivery box 101 can be slidably arranged in the delivery chamber 102 along the up-down direction. The delivery box 101 can be flipped along the front-back direction during the sliding along the up-down direction. The front-back direction can be referred to as Figure 3 ,exist Figure 3 In the figure, the X direction is the front and the Y direction is the rear. The front and the rear here are based on the position of the user when the treatment agent delivery device is used. The side of the treatment agent delivery device close to the user is the front, and the side away from the user is the rear.

[0070] When the delivery box 101 is completely in the delivery chamber 102, the opening 104 on the box is also completely in the delivery chamber 102, and the position of the opening 104 on the box at this time is defined as the first position. When the opening 104 on the box at least partially extends out of the opening 103 on the cavity, the position of the opening 104 on the box at this time is defined as the second position. When the opening 104 on the box is in the first position, it is necessary to be simultaneously subjected to the force of driving the delivery box 101 to slide and the force of driving the delivery box 101 to flip, so that the opening 104 on the box can be adjusted from the first position to the second position. In actual use, such a design makes the opening 104 on the box not open automatically, that is, the opening 104 on the box will not automatically adjust from the first position to the second position due to the vibration of the processing equipment when in use. When it is not necessary to put the treatment agent in the liquid storage chamber 201, the opening 104 on the box will not easily extend out of the opening 103 on the cavity, ensuring the stability of the treatment agent delivery component when in use.

[0071] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the delivery chamber 102 may be provided with a first sliding structure, the outer side of the bracket 106 may be provided with a second sliding structure, and the first sliding structure and the second sliding structure may be slidably matched; the inner side of the bracket 106 may be provided with a delivery box 101; the inner side of the bracket 106 may be formed with a first rotating structure, and the delivery box 101 may be provided with a second rotating structure, and the first rotating structure and the second rotating structure may be rotatably matched. The first sliding structure and the second sliding structure may be a guide rail and a slider 301, respectively, and the first rotating structure and the second rotating structure may be a rotating shaft groove 303 and a rotating shaft 302, respectively.

[0072] The inner wall of the delivery chamber 102 may be provided with a guide rail, wherein a slider 301 may be provided on the outer side of the bracket 106, and the slider 301 may be slidably arranged in the guide rail, and a rotating shaft 302 may be provided on the delivery box 101, and a rotating shaft groove 303 may be formed on the inner side of the bracket 106, so that the delivery box 101 may be rotatably connected to the bracket 106. When the user needs to replenish the treatment agent into the liquid storage chamber 201 through the treatment agent delivery assembly, the delivery box 101 may be driven to slide and flip through the bracket 106. The channel inside the delivery box 101 may serve as a flow channel for the treatment agent, so that the treatment agent may enter the flow channel and enter the delivery chamber 102 through the opening 104 on the box, and then enter the liquid storage chamber 201 through the delivery chamber 102. Meanwhile, in the embodiment of the present application, the bracket 106 is slidably connected to the guide rail on the inner wall of the delivery cavity 102 through the slider 301, and the delivery box 101 is rotatably connected to the bracket 106 through the shaft 302, so that the delivery box 101 can slide in the delivery cavity 102 and flip toward the cavity upper opening 103 when sliding. In some other embodiments, the bracket 106 is fixedly connected to the delivery box 101, and the shaft 302 on the delivery box 101 slides and is rotatably connected to the guide rail on the delivery cavity 102, so that the delivery box 101 can slide in the delivery cavity 102 and flip toward the cavity upper opening 103 when sliding.

[0073] The delivery chamber 102 may be provided with a lower box opening 107 for communicating with the liquid storage chamber 201. A sealing member 108 is provided at one end of the delivery box 101 close to the liquid storage chamber 201. The sealing member 108 and the lower box opening 107 are provided correspondingly. The sealing member 108 is configured such that: when the delivery box 101 slides upward with the bracket 106, the sealing member 108 opens the lower box opening 107; when the delivery box 101 slides downward with the bracket 106, the sealing member 108 seals the lower box opening 107. In this way, the sealing member 108 may be configured such that: when the upper box opening 104 is in the first position, the sealing member 108 is embedded in the lower box opening 107 to seal the lower box opening 107; when the upper box opening 104 is in the second position, the sealing member 108 is separated from the lower box opening 107 to open the lower box opening 107. Thus, when the upper opening 104 of the box is in the first position, it means that it is not necessary to put the treatment agent into the liquid storage chamber 201 at this time, and the sealing member 108 is embedded in the lower opening 107 of the box to seal the lower opening 107 of the box, which can prevent the outside air from entering the liquid storage chamber 201 and prevent the outside air from affecting the treatment agent stored in the liquid storage chamber 201. At the same time, when the upper opening 104 of the box is in the second position, it means that it is necessary to put the treatment agent into the liquid storage chamber 201 at this time, and the sealing member 108 is separated from the lower opening 107 of the box to open the lower opening 107 of the box, so as to ensure that the treatment agent can enter the liquid storage chamber 201 from the putting chamber 102.

[0074] The end surface of the upper end of the delivery box 101 can be configured as an inclined surface, which is tilted downward from front to back; and / or, the inner wall surface of the delivery cavity 102 facing the upper cavity opening 103 is configured as an inclined surface, which is tilted downward from front to back. In this way, when the delivery box 101 slides in the delivery cavity 102 and flips toward the upper cavity opening 103 during sliding, the inclined surface can make the delivery box 101 and the inner wall surface of the delivery cavity 102 avoid each other, so as to avoid the inner wall surface of the delivery cavity 102 facing the upper cavity opening 103 abutting against the delivery box 101 when the delivery box 101 moves, so as to avoid the inner wall surface of the delivery cavity 102 blocking the operation of the delivery box 101.

[0075] The front side wall of the delivery box 101 can extend upward to form a baffle 109, which is used to close the upper cavity opening 103 when the delivery box is in the delivery cavity 102. The baffle 109 is used to abut the side wall of the delivery cavity 102 with the upper cavity opening 103 when the upper box opening 104 is in the first position. In this way, the baffle 109 can close the upper cavity opening 103 when the upper box opening 104 is in the first position, and when it is not necessary to deliver the treatment agent into the liquid storage cavity 201, impurities in the external environment can be prevented from entering the delivery cavity 102.

[0076] A limit plate 110 may also be provided on the bracket 106. The limit plate 110 is provided behind the retaining wall 109 to prevent the delivery box 101 from flipping forward only. The limit plate 110 is provided on the side of the retaining wall 109 away from the cavity upper opening 103 to limit the rotation direction of the delivery box 101. In this way, the delivery box 101 will not flip toward the side away from the cavity upper opening 103 under the restriction of the limit plate 110, thereby ensuring the flipping direction of the delivery box 101.

[0077] The outer wall surface of the delivery box 101 may also be provided with a groove 111 that matches the shape of the bracket 106, and the groove 111 is used to accommodate the bracket 106 when the delivery box 101 slides up and down with the bracket 106. In this way, when the opening 104 on the box is in the first position, the bracket 106 can be accommodated in the groove 111, thus reducing the volume of the delivery box 101, further reducing the volume of the treatment agent delivery assembly, and making it easier to arrange the treatment agent delivery device.

[0078] The liquid storage chamber 201 may be formed with a chamber liquid inlet 202 and a chamber liquid outlet 203. The chamber liquid inlet 202 and the lower opening 107 of the box are connected through a liquid inlet pipe 204, and the chamber liquid outlet 203 and the washing tub are connected through a liquid outlet pipe 205. Both the liquid inlet pipe 204 and the liquid outlet pipe 205 are bellows. In this way, the treatment agent will enter the liquid storage chamber 201 through the delivery box 101 and the liquid inlet pipe 204, and then flow from the liquid outlet chamber through the liquid outlet pipe 205 into the washing tub.

[0079] For washing machines, dishwashers and other processing equipment with washing functions, it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the amount of processing agent when the user manually puts in the processing agent. Taking the washing machine as an example, when too much detergent is put in, the detergent will be wasted and it is difficult to rinse the detergent clean. When the amount of processing agent is too little, the washing effect of the clothes is poor and the dirt on the clothes is difficult to remove. Moreover, the user needs to put in the processing agent every time he washes clothes, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and also reduces the user experience.

[0080] Therefore, in some embodiments, the treatment agent delivery device in the present application may have a detection component, which can detect the content of the treatment agent in the liquid storage chamber 201.

[0081] When the treatment agent dosing device in the present application is applied to a treatment device with a washing function, when the treatment device is used and the treatment agent needs to be dosed so that the treatment agent enters the washing drum from the liquid storage chamber 201, the detection component can detect the change in the content of the treatment agent in the liquid storage chamber 201, and control the content of the treatment agent entering the washing drum from the liquid storage chamber 201 according to the program of the treatment device and the change in the content of the treatment agent, thereby realizing the quantitative dosing of the treatment agent, thereby avoiding the problem of waste of treatment agent due to excessive dosing of treatment agent, and also avoiding the problem of poor washing effect due to insufficient dosing of treatment agent.

[0082] As mentioned above, the liquid inlet pipe 204 and the liquid discharge pipe 205 are both bellows. The liquid storage chamber 201 is connected to the delivery chamber 102 and the washing tub respectively through a flexible bellows. In this way, when the detection element detects the content of the treatment agent in the liquid storage chamber 201, the liquid storage chamber 201 will not be pulled by the delivery chamber 102 and the washing tub to cause deformation and displacement of the liquid storage chamber 201. In this way, when the detection element detects the content of the treatment agent in the liquid storage chamber 201, it will not be disturbed by external forces, which reduces or even avoids the influence on the detection value of the detection element. The detection of the content of the treatment agent in the liquid storage chamber 201 will be more accurate, and further, the quantitative delivery of the treatment agent will be more precise. At the same time,

[0083] The bellows is a flexible tubular component with folded corrugations. In an environment with high temperature or large temperature difference, the bellows will be displaced due to thermal expansion and contraction. At the same time, the vibration during the operation of the processing equipment will also cause the bellows to displace, and the flexible bellows can effectively absorb these displacements. The liquid storage chamber 201 will not be pulled by the delivery chamber 102 and the washing drum, causing deformation and displacement of the liquid storage chamber 201, thereby preventing the bellows from driving the liquid storage chamber 201 and ensuring the detection accuracy of the detection component.

[0084] Furthermore, in the present application, the detection member may be a pressure detection sensor, which is disposed below the liquid storage chamber 201. Thus, when the content of the treatment agent in the liquid storage chamber 201 changes, the pressure applied by the treatment agent to the pressure detection sensor will also change, and the content of the treatment agent in the liquid storage chamber 201 will be detected in turn.

[0085] like Figure 9a As shown, in some embodiments, the treatment agent delivery device further includes a first liquid pump 5001 and a second liquid pump 5002; the treatment agent may include a detergent and a softener; there are two guide channels 105, the two guide channels 105 are respectively the first channel and the second channel, there are two delivery chambers 102, the two delivery chambers 102 are respectively the first delivery chamber 1021 and the second delivery chamber 1022; there are two liquid storage chambers 201, the two liquid storage chambers 201 are respectively the first liquid storage chamber 2011 and the second liquid storage chamber 2012; when the delivery box 101 is pushed and pulled to the upper opening 103 of the chamber, the first channel and the first delivery chamber 1021 are respectively the first delivery chamber 1021 and the second delivery chamber 1022; 02, the first liquid inlet pipe 2041, the first liquid storage chamber 201, the first liquid discharge pipe 2051, the first liquid pump 5001 and the washing tub 502 are connected in sequence to form a first delivery flow path, and the second channel, the second delivery chamber 102, the second liquid inlet pipe 2042, the second liquid storage chamber 201, the second liquid discharge pipe 2052, the second liquid pump 5002 and the washing tub 502 are connected in sequence to form a second delivery flow path; under the action of the first liquid pump 5001, the detergent can be delivered to the washing tub 502 through the first delivery flow path, and under the action of the second liquid pump 5002, the softener can be delivered to the washing tub 502 through the second delivery flow path. In this way, through the first delivery flow path and the second delivery flow path, the treatment agent delivery device can deliver two treatment agents at the same time; wherein, the first liquid storage chamber is the first sub-cavity, and the second liquid storage chamber is the second sub-cavity.

[0086] like Figure 9bAs shown, in other embodiments, the treatment agent delivery device further includes a first liquid pump 5001, a second liquid pump 5002, a mixing liquid box, a first mixed liquid inlet pipe 5011, a second mixed liquid inlet pipe 5012 and a mixed liquid outlet pipe 5013; a mixing liquid chamber 501 is formed inside the mixing box 501; the treatment agent may include detergent and softener; there are two guide channels 105, which are respectively the first channel and the second channel; there are two delivery chambers 102, which are respectively the first delivery chamber 1021 and the second delivery chamber 1022; there are two liquid storage chambers 201, which are respectively the first liquid storage chamber 2011 and the second liquid storage chamber 2012; when the delivery box 101 is pushed and pulled to the upper opening 103 of the chamber, the first channel, the first delivery chamber 102, the first liquid inlet pipe 2041, the second liquid inlet pipe 2042 and the second liquid outlet pipe 2043 are connected to the delivery chamber 102; A liquid storage chamber 201, a first liquid discharge pipe 2051, a first liquid pump 5001, a first mixed liquid inlet pipe 5011 and a mixed liquid chamber 501 are connected in sequence to form a first mixed liquid flow path; a second channel, a second delivery chamber 102, a second liquid inlet pipe 2042, a second liquid storage chamber 201, a second liquid discharge pipe 2052, a second liquid pump 5002, a second mixed liquid inlet pipe 5012 and a mixed liquid chamber 501 are connected in sequence to form a second mixed liquid flow path; the mixed liquid chamber 501 and the washing tub 502 are connected via a mixed liquid outlet pipe 5013; under the action of the first liquid pump 5001, the detergent can enter the mixed liquid chamber 501 through the first mixed liquid flow path; under the action of the second liquid pump 5002, the softener can enter the mixed liquid chamber 501 through the first mixed liquid flow path; the detergent and the softener are mixed in the mixed liquid chamber 501 and then enter the washing tub 502 via the mixed liquid outlet pipe 5013. In this way, through the first liquid mixing flow path and the second liquid mixing flow path, the treatment agent delivery device can mix two treatment agents at the same time and deliver the two treatment agents mixed into the washing tub; wherein the first liquid storage chamber is the first sub-chamber, and the second liquid storage chamber is the second sub-chamber.

It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
