DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] In order to make the person skilled in the art better understand the scheme of the present application, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor should be within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0045] It should be understood that "multiple" referred to herein means two or more. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " represents the meaning of or, for example, A / B can represent A or B; "and / or" herein is only a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B, which can represent the three cases of A alone, A and B together, and B alone. In addition, in order to clearly describe the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application, in the embodiments of the present application, "first", "second" and the like are used to distinguish the same items or similar items with basically the same function and role. The skilled in the art can understand that "first", "second" and the like do not limit the quantity and execution order, and "first", "second" and the like do not necessarily mean different.

[0046] In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device including a series of steps or units does not have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0047] With the improvement of people's living standards, washing equipment, especially washing machines, has become a necessary household appliance for every household. Users have increasingly high requirements for the intelligent programs of washing machines. In order to meet the user's requirement for the convenience of the washing process, in the related art, most washing machines are provided with a detergent automatic dispensing device, which can automatically add detergent into the washing tub, avoiding manual addition of detergent by the user. When the detergent automatic dispensing device is used, the user needs to add detergent to the detergent automatic dispensing device at intervals. However, since the detergent automatic dispensing device is usually arranged in the washing machine, the user cannot intuitively determine whether to add detergent to the detergent automatic dispensing device. When adding, the user cannot determine the amount of detergent added to the detergent automatic dispensing device, causing inconvenience to the user.

[0048] According to a first aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a washing machine is provided. Figures 1 to 2As shown, a control method for dispensing liquid is provided, for a dispensing device capable of dispensing liquid, the dispensing device comprising a liquid storage cavity for storing liquid, the liquid storage cavity being divided into a first sub-cavity and a second sub-cavity, the control method comprising the step S100 of determining whether liquid needs to be supplemented in the first sub-cavity according to whether the amount of liquid in the first sub-cavity reaches a first preset value, whether the amount of liquid in the second sub-cavity reaches a second preset value, and the total amount of liquid in the liquid storage cavity, and / or determining the amount of liquid to be supplemented in the case of needing to supplement liquid, wherein the first preset value is less than the maximum storage capacity of the first sub-cavity, and the second preset value is less than the maximum storage capacity in the second sub-cavity.

[0049] According to the above technical solution, whether liquid needs to be supplemented in the first sub-cavity can be determined 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. Further, in the case of needing to supplement liquid, the amount of liquid to be supplemented can be directly determined. In this way, when the dispensing device is applied to a laundry treatment apparatus with washing function, even if the dispensing device is arranged in the laundry treatment apparatus, the user can know whether detergent needs to be added to the dispensing device without being able to see the dispensing device, and at the same time, the user can determine the amount of detergent to be added to the dispensing device when adding detergent to the dispensing device, thereby ensuring the user's experience. It also avoids the problem of detergent overflow caused by the user adding too much detergent, and avoids the problem of the user needing to frequently add detergent to the dispensing device due to insufficient detergent added by the user.

[0050] The first preset value and the second preset value mentioned above can refer to the minimum unit content of liquid in the sub-cavity during use of the dispensing device. For example, the use of the dispensing device once can reduce the liquid content in the first sub-cavity by X, where X can be referred to as the minimum unit content of liquid in the sub-cavity during use of the dispensing device, and X can be the first preset value. Further, taking the first preset value X as an example, when the liquid amount represented by the real-time liquid pressure M1 at the bottom of the first sub-cavity does not reach the first preset value, it indicates that the liquid in the first sub-cavity has not met the use of the dispensing device once, at which time it indicates that the liquid in the first sub-cavity is insufficient and needs to be supplemented in time. When the liquid amount represented by the real-time liquid pressure M1 at the bottom of the first sub-cavity reaches the first preset value, it indicates that the liquid in the first sub-cavity can at least meet the use of the dispensing device once, but whether it can meet the use of the dispensing device multiple times still needs to be further determined according to the second sub-cavity and the liquid storage cavity.

[0051] In some embodiments, whether the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with liquid and / or the amount of liquid to be supplemented can be determined according to whether the liquid amount represented by the real-time liquid pressure M1 at the bottom of the first sub-cavity reaches a first preset value, whether the liquid amount 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 of the liquid storage cavity when the liquid storage cavity stores the maximum amount of liquid. In this way, not only the liquid amount of a single cavity is considered, but also the state of the liquid storage cavity, thereby improving the accuracy and flexibility of determining whether the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with liquid. In practical applications, this helps to ensure timely supplement of detergent or other liquids, while avoiding excessive or insufficient supplement, thereby improving user experience and operation efficiency of the device.

[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, i.e., the gravity of the liquid. When the liquid level in the cavity changes, the amount of liquid in the cavity also changes, and the change in the gravity of the liquid also causes the gravity of the liquid on the bottom of the cavity to change. Therefore, according to the real-time liquid pressure at the bottom of the cavity, the liquid level in the cavity can be reflected indirectly, and further, whether the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with liquid and the amount of liquid to be supplemented can be determined. In some embodiments, the real-time liquid pressure at the bottom of the cavity can be obtained by a pressure sensor arranged 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 should be removed to avoid interference of the weight of the cavity shell on the determination of the liquid level in the cavity. In this way, only two pressure sensors can be used to determine

[0053] Further, when the liquid amount represented by the real-time liquid pressure M1 is greater than or equal to the first preset value, whether the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with liquid and / or the amount of liquid to be supplemented can be determined according to whether the liquid amount 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. According to whether the liquid amount 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 determined, and further, whether the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with liquid can be determined according to whether the liquid amount 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. This increases the level and accuracy of the determination. It ensures that only when the liquid amount in the first sub-cavity is sufficient, other factors such as the liquid amount in the second sub-cavity and the capacity state of the overall liquid storage cavity are considered. This design helps to balance the liquid demand between different cavities and ensures stable operation of the entire dispensing device. At the same time, it also reduces unnecessary liquid supplement operations and improves overall efficiency.

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

[0055] When the liquid amount in the first sub-cavity reaches the first preset value, the liquid amount in the second sub-cavity reaches the second preset value, and the total liquid amount in the liquid storage cavity is less than the set proportion of the maximum liquid storage capacity of the liquid storage cavity, it can be determined that the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with liquid, and it is determined that the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with the first liquid amount L1. When the liquid amount in the first sub-cavity reaches the first preset value and the liquid amount in the second sub-cavity reaches the second preset value, it indicates that there is a certain amount of liquid in each of the two cavities at this time. However, when the total liquid amount in the liquid storage cavity is less than the set proportion of the maximum liquid storage capacity of the liquid storage cavity, it indicates that the total liquid amount in the two cavities is still far from the maximum liquid storage capacity of the liquid storage cavity at this time, further indicating that the liquid amount in the first sub-cavity is not sufficient at this time, and the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with liquid at this time. Further, it is determined that the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with the first liquid amount L1. After the first sub-cavity is supplemented with the first liquid amount L1, the liquid amount in the first sub-cavity becomes sufficient.

[0056] In some embodiments, determining that the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with the first liquid amount L1 can include that the first liquid amount L1 is L1 = (L2*X) / (X+Y), where L2 is the maximum liquid storage capacity of the liquid storage cavity, and the ratio of the volume of the second sub-cavity to the volume of the first sub-cavity is X / Y. The method of calculating the first liquid amount L1 needed to be supplemented by the first sub-cavity takes into account the proportional relationship between the volumes of the two sub-cavities, which can avoid the overflow of liquid from the first sub-cavity when the user supplements the liquid, and can also avoid the problem that the user will not supplement the insufficient liquid. The design of the above formula not only simplifies the calculation process, but also ensures that the liquid is supplemented into the first sub-cavity according to the correct proportion each time, which helps to maintain the stability of the detergent dispensing, improves the laundry effect and user experience.

[0057] The feeding device can further include a first liquid level sensor arranged in the first sub-cavity and a second liquid level sensor arranged in the second sub-cavity, and the control method can further include steps S200 and S300. Step S200 includes determining whether the liquid amount 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. Step S300 includes determining whether the liquid amount 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 liquid level sensor trigger signal arranged in each sub-cavity, which improves the accuracy and timeliness of the determination. When the first liquid level sensor is triggered, it indicates that the liquid amount 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 liquid amount 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, but only to determine the interval or range of the liquid content in the first sub-cavity, i.e., whether the real-time liquid pressure at the bottom of the cavity reaches the preset value, to determine whether the liquid content in the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented and the amount of liquid that needs to be supplemented. Compared with the prior art, which needs to accurately obtain the liquid content in the cavity before determining whether the liquid content in the cavity needs to be supplemented and the amount of liquid that needs to be supplemented, the control method in the present application is more convenient, so that accurate determination can be achieved even in the case of low detection accuracy. At the same time, the present application combines the states of the two cavities and the liquid storage cavity as a whole during the determination process, further ensuring the accuracy of the determination.

[0059] The control method can further include 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 liquid amount L2, which is the maximum liquid storage amount of the first sub-cavity minus the first preset value, when the liquid amount in the first sub-cavity does not reach the first preset value. As described above, when the first preset value is the minimum unit content of the liquid in the sub-cavity during use of the feeding device, when the liquid amount represented by the real-time liquid pressure M1 at the bottom of the first sub-cavity does not reach the first preset value, it indicates that the liquid in the first sub-cavity does not meet the requirements for one use of the feeding device, which indicates that the liquid in the first sub-cavity is very low at this time and needs to be supplemented as soon as possible to prevent affecting the normal use of the feeding device and to avoid the situation that the feeding device is disabled due to lack of liquid, which helps to improve the stability of the equipment and the convenience of the user. At the same time, the second liquid amount L2 is the maximum liquid storage amount of the first sub-cavity minus the first preset value, which ensures that the amount of liquid supplemented by the user will not be too much to cause liquid overflow when the liquid amount in the first sub-cavity does not reach the first preset value and the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with liquid.

[0060] In some embodiments, the control method can further comprise: when it is determined that the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with the first liquid amount L1, detecting the amount of liquid supplemented into the first sub-cavity, and 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 issue a first signal, the first signal being a signal reminding the user to stop continuously supplementing liquid into the first sub-cavity. Further, it is determined that the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with the second liquid amount L2, the amount of liquid supplemented into the first sub-cavity is detected, and when the amount of liquid supplemented into the first sub-cavity is greater than or equal to the second liquid amount L2, the first signal is issued to control the dispensing device to issue a first signal, the first signal being a signal reminding the user to stop continuously supplementing liquid into the first sub-cavity. When it is determined that the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with liquid, the system will issue a reminder signal when the predetermined supplement amount is reached, reminding the user to stop adding. This can effectively prevent the user from overfilling the detergent, saving resources and reducing the waste that may be generated by the detergent, and improving the user's operation convenience. At the same time, for those users who are not very familiar with the operation of the dispensing device, it is also a very practical safety guarantee measure, which reduces the possibility of misoperation and improves the friendliness of the dispensing device.

[0061] Further, when it is necessary to supplement liquid into the first sub-cavity, the second signal can be controlled to be issued by the dispensing device, the second signal being a signal reminding the user to add liquid into the first sub-cavity. In this way, the user can clearly know that the first sub-cavity needs to be supplemented with liquid. In the present application, the types of the first signal and the second signal are not limited, and the first signal and the second signal can be light signals, i.e., through the flickering of light or the color of light, to remind the user whether to add liquid or to stop adding liquid. The first signal and the second signal can be sound signals, i.e., through the size of the sound or the timbre type of the sound, to remind the user whether to add liquid or to stop adding liquid.

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

[0063] For example, when the dispensing device is applied to a laundry treating apparatus such as a washing machine, the two sub-cavities of the dispensing device can be used to contain a detergent and a softener respectively, when it is needed to determine whether the detergent needs to be replenished and to determine the amount of the detergent to be replenished, 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 needed to determine whether the softener needs to be replenished and to determine the amount of the softener to be replenished, 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 a control method for determining whether a liquid needs to be replenished in the first sub-cavity and determining the amount of the liquid to be replenished, and also discloses a control method for determining whether a liquid needs to be replenished in the second sub-cavity and determining the amount of the liquid to be replenished.

[0065] According to a third aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a laundry treating apparatus is provided, the laundry treating apparatus has a dispensing device, the dispensing device comprises a liquid storage cavity for storing a liquid, the liquid storage cavity is divided into a first sub-cavity and a second sub-cavity, the first sub-cavity is used to store a detergent, and the second sub-cavity is used to store a softener, the laundry treating apparatus is used to execute the control method of any one of the above-mentioned embodiments, or comprises the electronic device as described above, the laundry treating apparatus has all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned control method, which will not be repeated here. The first sub-cavity can be used to contain a detergent, and the second sub-cavity can be used to contain a softener, correspondingly, the volume of the first sub-cavity and the volume of the second sub-cavity can be determined according to the use ratio of the detergent and the softener, for example, in one washing process, the ratio of the detergent and the softener needed to be used is 3:2, then the volume ratio of the first sub-cavity and the second sub-cavity can be 3:2, so that when the liquid needs to be replenished, the detergent and the softener can be replenished at the same time, reducing the number of times of adding the liquid into the dispensing device by the user.

[0066] Specifically, as Figures 3 to 8As shown, a treatment agent dispensing device is provided for a treatment device with a washing function, the treatment device having a washing drum for accommodating articles to be washed; the treatment agent dispensing device comprises a treatment agent dispensing assembly and a treatment agent storage assembly; the treatment agent dispensing assembly comprises a housing 100 and a dispensing box 101, the inside of the housing 100 is formed with a dispensing cavity 102, the upper end of the dispensing cavity 102 is formed with a cavity upper opening 103; the dispensing box 101 is push-pullably arranged in the dispensing cavity 102 through the cavity upper opening 103, and the dispensing box 101 can be flipped relative to the housing 100; the upper end of the dispensing box 101 is formed with a box upper opening 104; the inside of the dispensing box 101 is formed with a flow guide channel 105 that communicates the box upper opening 104 and the dispensing cavity 102; the treatment agent storage assembly comprises a storage box 200, the inside of the storage box 200 is formed with a liquid storage cavity 201, the storage box 200 is arranged on the housing 100 and below the dispensing cavity 102, and the liquid storage cavity 201 is used to communicate the liquid storage cavity and the washing drum; the dispensing box 101 is configured to be flipped relative to the housing 100 when being pushed or pulled to the cavity upper opening 103, so that the box upper opening 104 extends out of the dispensing cavity 102.

[0067] Through the above technical solution, when the content of the treatment agent in the liquid storage cavity 201 is insufficient, the user can push or pull the dispensing box 101, so that the dispensing box 101 can be flipped relative to the housing 100, so that the box upper opening 104 can extend out of the dispensing cavity 102, and the user can put the treatment agent into the liquid storage cavity 201 through the box upper opening 104, and the detergent in the liquid storage cavity 201 can enter the washing drum according to the instruction. When using the treatment device, the user only needs to put the treatment agent when the content of the treatment agent in the liquid storage cavity 201 is insufficient, reducing the number of times the user needs to put the treatment agent. At the same time, the user can directly realize the switching of the treatment agent dispensing device through the push-pull operation, which is more convenient for the dispensing of the treatment agent and also ensures the user experience. The box upper opening 104 can extend out of the dispensing cavity 102, so that the treatment agent dispensing assembly is more integrated, reducing the volume of the treatment agent dispensing device and facilitating the arrangement of the treatment agent dispensing device.

[0068] The treatment agent dispensing device can further comprise a bracket 106 arranged in the dispensing cavity 102, the inside of the bracket 106 is formed with a mounting space; the dispensing box 101 is arranged in the mounting space; the bracket 106 and the dispensing box 101 are arranged in the following manner: the dispensing box 101 can slide up and down in the dispensing cavity 102 with the bracket 106, and the dispensing box 101 can be flipped forward and backward relative to the bracket 106 when the dispensing box 101 slides to the cavity upper opening 103. The bracket 106 can drive the dispensing box 101 to slide and / or flip when subjected to force, and the user can drive the dispensing box 101 to slide and / or flip through the bracket 106.

[0069] The delivery box 101 can be slidably arranged in the delivery cavity 102 or can be flipped in the delivery cavity 102. The cavity upper opening 103 is arranged on the sidewall of the delivery cavity 102. The delivery box 101 is configured to slide in the delivery cavity 102 and flip towards 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 In 7 and Figure 8 , the delivery box 101 can be slidably arranged in the delivery cavity 102 along the up-down direction. The delivery box 101 can flip along the front-back direction during sliding along the up-down direction. The front-back direction can be referred to in Figure 3 , in Figure 3 , the X direction is the front direction, and the Y direction is the back direction. The front and back directions are referred to the position of the user when using the treatment agent delivery device. The side close to the user is the front direction, and the side away from the user is the back direction.

[0070] When the delivery box 101 is completely in the delivery cavity 102, the box upper opening 104 is also completely in the delivery cavity 102. The position of the box upper opening 104 at this time is defined as the first position. When the box upper opening 104 at least partially extends out of the cavity upper opening 103, the position of the box upper opening 104 at this time is defined as the second position. When the box upper opening 104 is at the first position, the box upper opening 104 needs to be driven to slide and flip at the same time, so that the box upper opening 104 can be adjusted from the first position to the second position. In actual use, such design makes the box upper opening 104 not open automatically, i.e., the box upper opening 104 cannot automatically adjust from the first position to the second position due to vibration of the treatment device during use. When there is no need to deliver treatment agent into the liquid storage cavity 201, the box upper opening 104 will not easily extend out of the cavity upper opening 103, ensuring the stability of the treatment agent delivery assembly during use.

[0071] In some embodiments, the inner sidewall of the delivery cavity 102 can be provided with a first sliding structure, the outer side of the bracket 106 is provided with a second sliding structure, and the first sliding structure and the second sliding structure are slidably matched; the inner side of the bracket 106 is provided with the delivery box 101; the inner side of the bracket 106 is formed with a first rotating structure, and the delivery box 101 is provided with a second rotating structure, and the first rotating structure and the second rotating structure are rotatably matched. The first sliding structure and the second sliding structure can be a guide rail and a sliding block 301 respectively, and the first rotating structure and the second rotating structure can be a rotating shaft slot 303 and a rotating shaft 302 respectively.

[0072] The inner side wall of the delivery cavity 102 can be provided with a guide rail, the outer side of the bracket 106 can be provided with a sliding block 301 which is slidably arranged in the guide rail, a rotating shaft 302 is arranged on the delivery box 101, and the inner side of the bracket 106 can be formed with a rotating shaft groove 303, so that the delivery box 101 is rotatably connected to the bracket 106. When the user needs to supplement the treatment agent into the liquid storage cavity 201 through the treatment agent delivery assembly, the delivery box 101 can be slid and turned by the bracket 106. The channel in the delivery box 101 can serve as a flow channel of the treatment agent, so that the treatment agent can enter the flow channel through the opening 104 on the box and enter the delivery cavity 102, and then enter the liquid storage cavity 201 through the delivery cavity 102. Meanwhile, in the embodiment of the present application, the bracket 106 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the delivery cavity 102 through the sliding block 301, and the delivery box 101 is rotatably connected to the bracket 106 through the rotating shaft 302, so that the delivery box 101 can slide in the delivery cavity 102 and turn towards the upper cavity opening 103 when sliding. In some other embodiments, the bracket 106 is fixedly connected to the delivery box 101, and the rotating shaft 302 on the delivery box 101 is slidably and rotatably connected to the guide rail on the delivery cavity 102, which can also enable the delivery box 101 to slide in the delivery cavity 102 and turn towards the upper cavity opening 103 when sliding.

[0073] A lower box opening 107 for communicating with the liquid storage cavity 201 can be arranged on the delivery cavity 102, and a sealing element 108 is arranged on one end of the delivery box 101 close to the liquid storage cavity 201 and corresponds to the lower box opening 107. The sealing element 108 is configured to open the lower box opening 107 when the delivery box 101 slides upwards with the bracket 106, and seal the lower box opening 107 when the delivery box 101 slides downwards with the bracket 106. In this way, the sealing element 108 can be configured to embed in the lower box opening 107 to seal the lower box opening 107 when the upper box opening 104 is in the first position, and disengage from the lower box opening 107 to open the lower box opening 107 when the upper box opening 104 is in the second position. In this way, when the upper box opening 104 is in the first position, it indicates that the treatment agent does not need to be delivered into the liquid storage cavity 201 at this time, and the sealing element 108 embeds in the lower box opening 107 to seal the lower box opening 107 at this time, which can avoid external air from entering the liquid storage cavity 201 and affecting the treatment agent stored in the liquid storage cavity 201. Meanwhile, when the upper box opening 104 is in the second position, it indicates that the treatment agent needs to be delivered into the liquid storage cavity 201 at this time, and the sealing element 108 disengages from the lower box opening 107 to open the lower box opening 107 at this time, which ensures that the treatment agent can enter the liquid storage cavity 201 from the delivery cavity 102.

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

[0075] The front side wall of the delivery box 101 can extend upwardly to form a blocking wall 109, which is used to close the cavity upper opening 103 when the delivery box is in the delivery cavity 102. The blocking wall 109 is used to abut against the side wall of the delivery cavity 102 in which the cavity upper opening 103 is formed when the box upper opening 104 is in the first position. In this way, the blocking wall 109 can close the cavity upper opening 103 when the box upper opening 104 is in the first position, so as to avoid impurities in the external environment from entering the delivery cavity 102 when the treatment agent is not needed to be delivered into the liquid storage cavity 201.

[0076] The support 106 can further be provided with a limiting plate 110, which is arranged behind the blocking wall 109 and is used to enable the delivery box 101 to flip forwardly only. The limiting plate 110 is arranged on the side of the blocking wall 109 away from the cavity upper opening 103, and is used to limit the rotation direction of the delivery box 101. In this way, the delivery box 101 cannot flip towards the side away from the cavity upper opening 103 under the limitation of the limiting plate 110, so as to ensure the flipping direction of the delivery box 101.

[0077] The outer wall surface of the delivery box 101 can further be provided with a groove 111 matching the shape of the support 106, which is used to accommodate the support 106 when the delivery box 101 slides up and down with the support 106. In this way, when the box upper opening 104 is in the first position, the support 106 can be accommodated in the groove 111, so as to reduce the volume of the delivery box 101, further reduce the volume of the treatment agent delivery assembly, and make the arrangement of the treatment agent delivery device more convenient.

[0078] The liquid storage cavity 201 can be formed with a cavity liquid inlet 202 and a cavity liquid outlet 203, the cavity liquid inlet 202 and the box lower opening 107 are communicated through a liquid inlet pipe 204, and the cavity liquid outlet 203 and the washing drum are communicated through a liquid outlet pipe 205; the liquid inlet pipe 204 and the liquid outlet pipe 205 are both corrugated pipes. In this way, the delivered treatment agent will enter the liquid storage cavity 201 through the delivery box 101 and the liquid inlet pipe 204, and then flow into the washing drum through the liquid outlet pipe 205.

[0079] For the processing equipment with washing function such as washing machine and dish washer, it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the processing agent amount when the user manually puts in the processing agent. For example, when the washing liquid amount is too much, the washing liquid will be wasted and it is difficult to rinse the washing liquid. When the processing agent amount 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 when washing clothes, which is time-consuming and laborious and also reduces the user experience.

[0080] Therefore, in some embodiments, the processing agent putting device in the present application can have a detection piece capable of detecting the content of the processing agent in the liquid storage cavity 201.

[0081] When the processing agent putting device in the present application is applied to the processing equipment with washing function, when the processing equipment is used and the processing agent needs to be put in, the detection piece can detect the content change of the processing agent in the liquid storage cavity 201, and according to the program of the processing equipment and the content change of the processing agent, the content of the processing agent entering the washing drum from the liquid storage cavity 201 is controlled, realizing the quantitative putting of the processing agent, which avoids the problem of waste of the processing agent caused by too much processing agent putting amount, and also avoids the problem of poor washing effect caused by too little processing agent putting amount.

[0082] As described above, the liquid inlet pipe 204 and the liquid outlet pipe 205 are both corrugated pipes. The liquid storage cavity 201 is communicated with the putting cavity 102 and the washing drum through the flexible corrugated pipes, so that when the detection piece detects the content of the processing agent in the liquid storage cavity 201, the liquid storage cavity 201 will not be deformed and displaced due to the pulling of the putting cavity 102 and the washing drum, so that the detection piece is not disturbed by external force when detecting the content of the processing agent in the liquid storage cavity 201, which reduces or even avoids the influence on the detection value of the detection piece, the detection of the content of the processing agent in the liquid storage cavity 201 is more accurate, and the quantitative putting of the processing agent is more accurate. At the same time,

[0083] The corrugated pipe is a flexible tubular component with folded corrugations. In an environment with high temperature or large temperature difference, the corrugated pipe will displace due to thermal expansion and contraction. Meanwhile, the vibration when the processing equipment is running will also drive the displacement of the corrugated pipe. The flexible corrugated pipe can effectively absorb these displacements, so that the liquid storage cavity 201 will not be deformed and displaced due to the pulling of the putting cavity 102 and the washing drum, avoiding the displacement of the liquid storage cavity 201 driven by the corrugated pipe, and ensuring the detection accuracy of the detection piece.

[0084] Furthermore, in this application, the detection element can be a pressure sensor, which is positioned below the liquid storage chamber 201. Thus, when the content of the treatment agent in the liquid storage chamber 201 changes, the pressure exerted by the treatment agent on the pressure sensor also changes, thereby sequentially detecting the content of the treatment agent in the liquid storage chamber 201.

[0085] like Figure 9a As shown, in some embodiments, the treatment agent dispensing device further includes a first pump 5001 and a second pump 5002; the treatment agent may include detergent and fabric softener; two guide channels 105 are provided, namely a first channel and a second channel; two dispensing chambers 102 are provided, namely a first dispensing chamber 1021 and a second dispensing chamber 1022; two storage chambers 201 are provided, namely a first storage chamber 2011 and a second storage chamber 2012; when the dispensing box 101 is pushed or pulled to the opening 103 on the cavity, the first channel and the first dispensing chamber 5002... 02. The first inlet pipe 2041, the first storage chamber 201, the first drain pipe 2051, the first pump 5001, and the washing drum 502 are sequentially connected to form a first dispensing flow path. The second channel, the second dispensing chamber 102, the second inlet pipe 2042, the second storage chamber 201, the second drain pipe 2052, the second pump 5002, and the washing drum 502 are sequentially connected to form a second dispensing flow path. Under the action of the first pump 5001, detergent can be dispensed into the washing drum 502 through the first dispensing flow path. Under the action of the second pump 5002, fabric softener can be dispensed into the washing drum 502 through the second dispensing flow path. In this way, the treatment agent dispensing device can dispense two treatment agents simultaneously through the first and second dispensing flow paths. The first storage chamber is a first sub-chamber, and the second storage chamber is a second sub-chamber.

[0086] like Figure 9bAs shown, in some other embodiments, the treatment agent dispensing device further comprises a first liquid suction pump 5001, a second liquid suction pump 5002, a mixing box, a first liquid mixing inlet pipe 5011, a second liquid mixing inlet pipe 5012, and a liquid mixing outlet pipe 5013; the mixing box 501 is internally formed with a liquid mixing cavity 501; the treatment agent can comprise a detergent and a softener; the flow guide channel 105 is provided with two, which are a first channel and a second channel respectively; the dispensing cavity 102 is provided with two, which are a first dispensing cavity 1021 and a second dispensing cavity 1022 respectively; the liquid storage cavity 201 is provided with two, which are a first liquid storage cavity 2011 and a second liquid storage cavity 2012 respectively; when the dispensing box 101 is pushed and pulled to the cavity upper opening 103, the first channel, the first dispensing cavity 102, the first liquid inlet pipe 2041, the first liquid storage cavity 201, the first liquid outlet pipe 2051, the first liquid suction pump 5001, the first liquid mixing inlet pipe 5011, and the liquid mixing cavity 501 are sequentially communicated to form a first liquid mixing flow path, the second channel, the second dispensing cavity 102, the second liquid inlet pipe 2042, the second liquid storage cavity 201, the second liquid outlet pipe 2052, the second liquid suction pump 5002, the second liquid mixing inlet pipe 5012, and the liquid mixing cavity 501 are sequentially communicated to form a second liquid mixing flow path, and the liquid mixing cavity 501 and the washing drum 502 are communicated through the liquid mixing outlet pipe 5013; under the action of the first liquid suction pump 5001, the detergent can enter the liquid mixing cavity 501 through the first liquid mixing flow path, under the action of the second liquid suction pump 5002, the softener can enter the liquid mixing cavity 501 through the first liquid mixing flow path, and the detergent and the softener are mixed in the liquid mixing cavity 501, and then enter the washing drum 502 through the liquid mixing outlet pipe 5013. In this way, through the first liquid mixing flow path and the second liquid mixing flow path, the treatment agent dispensing device can simultaneously mix two kinds of treatment agents and dispense the mixed two kinds of treatment agents to the washing drum; wherein the first liquid storage cavity is a first sub-cavity, and the second liquid storage cavity is a second sub-cavity.

[0087] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, which should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
