[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 The present application proposes a dishwasher 100 , which is a device for automatically washing dishes, including a body 10 , a door body 30 , and a dispensing device 50 .
[0067] In some embodiments, the machine body 10 has a washing chamber 10a and a take-in and take-out opening 10b connected to the washing chamber 10a. The door body 30 is movably connected to the side of the machine body 10 provided with the take-in and take-out opening 10b. Generally, the bottom of the door body 30 is connected to the machine body 10, and the top of the door body 30 can rotate around the bottom. When the door body 30 is in the open state, the door body 30 and the machine body 10 are set at a certain angle, and the take-in and take-out opening 10b is connected to the outside world. The user can put the tableware into the washing chamber 10a through the take-in and take-out opening 10b; when the door body 30 is in the closed state, that is, when the door body 30 and the machine body 10 are combined, the take-in and take-out opening 10b is closed.
[0068] Combination Figures 1 to 3 , the dispensing device 50 is arranged on the door body 30 or the machine body 10, and is equipped with a liquid storage box 521. The liquid storage box 521 is used to store detergent, so that during the washing process, the dispensing device 50 can dispense detergent into the washing chamber 10a to assist washing, so as to ensure the washing effect of the dishwasher 100. In the related art, the liquid storage box is fixed on the door body or the machine body, and is covered by a protective shell outside the liquid storage box. When performing maintenance operations, staff often need to remove the protective shell first, and then remove the liquid storage box. After completing the replacement or filling of the liquid storage box, it is also necessary to fix the liquid storage box back to its original position, and then fix the protective shell to connect. Obviously, the above process operation steps are relatively cumbersome, the learning cost is high, the work efficiency is reduced, and the user experience is poor.
[0069] In view of this, please refer to Figure 2 The dispensing device 50 in the embodiment of the present application includes a dispensing seat 51, a liquid storage box 521, a pump body 522 and a circuit board assembly 523. The dispensing seat 51 is arranged on the door body 30 or the machine body 10, and the liquid storage box 521, the pump body 522 and the circuit board assembly 523 are all connected to the dispensing seat 51, wherein the circuit board assembly 523 is electrically connected to the pump body 522, so that the pump body 522 can pump the detergent in the liquid storage box 521 and dispense it into the washing chamber 10a.
[0070] Specifically, the placement seat 51 is used to provide a structural foundation for installing the liquid storage box 521, the pump body 522 and the circuit board assembly 523. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the placement seat 51 has an up-down direction, a front-back direction, and a left-right direction. In some embodiments, the placement seat 51 includes a seat body 511 and a cover body 516, and the seat body 511 and the cover body 516 can be made of plastic or alloy, etc., and the present application does not limit this. The seat body 511 is used to connect with the door body 30 or the body 10. In some structural forms, the outer edge of the seat body 511 is provided with a skirt 515, and the skirt 515 is configured to be connected with the body 10 of the dishwasher 100. Exemplarily, a buckle can be provided on the skirt 515, and a slot is provided on the body 10. The buckle cooperates with the slot to realize the skirt 515 being snapped on the body 10. Of course, the skirt 515 can also be connected to the body 10 by bonding or other methods. The seat body 511 is provided with a first mounting cavity 5113, and the seat body 511 is also formed with a second mounting cavity 511a and a third mounting cavity 511b. The liquid storage box 521 is detachably arranged in the first installation cavity 5113, and the pump body 522 and the circuit board assembly 523 are respectively arranged in the second installation cavity 511a and the third installation cavity 511b. In this way, the second installation cavity 511a formed by the seat body 511 is used for installation of the pump body 522, and the third installation cavity 511b is used for installation of the circuit board assembly 523. The pump body 522 and the circuit board assembly 523 do not need to occupy the space of the machine body 10 for installation, so that the machine body 10 can be designed to be more compact, so as to further reduce the overall size of the dishwasher 100, so that the dishwasher 100 can be used in a compact space environment, thereby improving the applicability of the dishwasher 100. It can be understood that the second installation cavity 511a and the third installation cavity 511b are not completely separated, so as to facilitate the wires connecting the circuit board assembly 523 and the pump body 522 to pass through.
[0071] Optionally, the second installation cavity 511a and the third installation cavity 511b are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the first installation cavity 5113, so that the disassembly and assembly port 5111 can be centrally arranged, which is more beautiful. Since the liquid storage box 521 has a large mass when liquid is stored, this can also balance the weight of the delivery device 50, so that the center of gravity is arranged close to the central axis, thereby improving the stability of the delivery device 50 and the degree of installation firmness.
[0072] The seat body 511 is also provided with a disassembly opening 5111 communicating with the first installation cavity 5113, and the opening direction of the disassembly opening 5111 faces the outside of the door body 30 or the outside of the machine body 10. The cover body 516 is movably connected to the seat body 511 to open or close the disassembly opening 5111. Optionally, the cover body 516 can move relative to the seat body 511 in a pulling or flipping manner. For example, a pivot 517 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the cover body 516, and an axial hole is provided on the inner wall of the cavity near the disassembly opening 5111. The pivot 517 is matched with the axial hole to connect the cover body 516 to the seat body 511 in rotation, and can be flipped up and down relative to the seat body 511. In order to avoid interference with the door body 30, the pivot 517 is arranged on the lower side of the cover body 516. When the cover body 516 is opened and set at an angle with the seat body 511, the disassembly and assembly port 5111 is connected to the outside, and the user can take out the liquid storage box 521 through the disassembly and assembly port 5111 or put the liquid storage box 521 into the first installation cavity 5113 from the disassembly and assembly port 5111; when the cover body 516 is in a closed state, that is, when the cover body 516 and the seat body 511 are combined, the disassembly and assembly port 5111 is closed.
[0073] Typically, the placement seat 51 is disposed on the door 30 or in the washing chamber 10a, so that the pump body 522 can pump the detergent into the washing chamber 10a more directly. In an optional embodiment, the placement seat 51 is configured as a skirting board. Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the dispensing seat 51 is arranged below the door body 30, the seat body 511 is roughly arranged in a cover-like structure, and the seat body 511 is connected to the machine body 10, so as to form the above-mentioned second installation cavity 511a and the third installation cavity 511b between the seat body 10. The disassembly and assembly port 5111 is arranged on the front side and / or the upper side of the seat body 511, and the cover body 516 is movably connected to the seat body 511, and can open or cover the above-mentioned disassembly and assembly port 5111. In this way, when the dispensing device 50 is maintained in the embodiment of the present application, such as replacing the liquid storage box 521 or filling the liquid storage box 521, there is no need to open the door body 30, and the cover body 516 can be directly opened to remove the liquid storage box 521. In this way, the maintenance of the dispensing device 50 does not affect the washing operation in the washing cavity 10a, and the detergent can be replenished in time during the washing operation, effectively ensuring the washing effect and work efficiency.
[0074] Refer again Figure 3In some embodiments, in order to further improve the convenience of the user when disassembling the liquid storage box 521, the seat body 511 is opened at the upper side and the front side in the up and down direction of the placement seat 51 to cooperate with the configuration of the disassembly opening 5111. When the user takes out the liquid storage box 521 from the first installation cavity 5113, the liquid storage box 521 is taken out roughly from bottom to top and from back to front. If the top wall of the first installation cavity 5113 interferes too much with the liquid storage box 521, the distance to move the liquid storage box 521 from back to front will be too long, which will cause inconvenience to the user. In the embodiment of the present application, the seat body 511 is further opened on the upper side on the basis of being opened on the front side, so that the length of the cavity top wall of the first installation cavity 5113 can be reduced, so as to reduce the interference between the cavity top wall of the first installation cavity 5113 and the liquid storage box 521, thereby shortening the distance that the liquid storage box 521 moves from the back to the front. The user only needs to move the liquid storage box 521 from the back to the front a small distance to take out the liquid storage box 521 from the bottom to the top, which is convenient for the user to operate. In the installation process, such a setting can also shorten the distance that the liquid storage box 521 moves from the front to the back, so as to improve the convenience of installation. This embodiment will not be elaborated on this. In addition, when the seat body 511 is still open on the upper side, the user can directly observe the liquid storage box 521 from the upper side of the seat body 511 to know the specific location of the liquid storage box 521 and then perform a series of subsequent disassembly steps, which is more convenient.
[0075] Furthermore, combined with Figure 5 The cover body 516 may include a cover plate 5161 and a side plate 5165. The cover plate 5161 includes a top plate 5162 and a front plate 5163. The side plates 5165 are connected to opposite sides of the cover plate 5161 and are connected to opposite sides of the front plate 5163. The extending direction of the side plates 5165 is arranged at an angle (optionally 90 degrees) to the front plate 5163. The top plate 5162 and the side plates 5165 are respectively sealed and connected to the mouth wall of the disassembly and assembly opening 5111. In this way, foreign matter can be prevented from entering the first installation cavity 5113 from the connection between the mouth wall of the disassembly and assembly opening 5111 and the top plate 5162, and from the connection between the mouth wall of the disassembly and assembly opening 5111 and the side plates 5165.
[0076] The liquid storage box 521 is used to store detergent. Figure 6In some embodiments, the liquid storage box 521 includes a box body 5211 and a support portion 5212. Specifically, the box body 5211 includes a box body and a box cover 5217, the box body is provided with a liquid storage cavity 521a and a liquid adding port connected to the liquid storage cavity 521a, and the box cover 5217 is movably connected to the box body to open or close the above-mentioned liquid adding port. Optionally, the box body is generally arranged in a strip shape, and in order to facilitate liquid addition and avoid liquid leakage, the liquid adding port is arranged on the upper surface of the box body, and one end of the box cover 5217 is rotatably connected to the box body. In this way, after the liquid storage box 521 is removed, liquid can be added to the box body 5211 through the liquid adding port by opening the box cover 5217. The support portion 5212 is arranged on the bottom wall of the box body 5211, and is used to support the box body 5211 when the liquid storage box 521 is placed in the first installation cavity 5113. Optionally, in one embodiment, the support portion 5212 includes a plurality of support ribs staggered at the bottom of the box body 5211, and the plurality of support ribs are used to abut the bottom wall or the bottom wall and the side wall of the first installation cavity 5113 when the liquid storage box 521 is placed in the first installation cavity 5113. Among them, the plurality of support ribs can be staggered horizontally and vertically or arranged in a mesh shape, etc. The embodiment of the present application uses the form of support ribs as the support of the box body 5211, which is conducive to saving materials and reducing costs while ensuring support. Not only that, this move also reduces the weight of the liquid storage box 521, which is more conducive to the liquid storage box 521 being driven and moving. Of course, the support portion 5212 can also adopt other structural forms such as a plate structure or a block structure, and the present application does not limit this.
[0077] Optionally, combined Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the box body 5211 is made of a transparent material, and a front plate 5163 of the cover body 516 is provided with an observation window 5164, so that the user can observe the box body 5211 through the observation window 5164 and judge the amount of detergent by the liquid level in the box body 5211, so that the user can fully understand the operation information of the dishwasher 100 and replenish detergent at an appropriate time.
[0078] Furthermore, the dispensing device 50 also includes a detection member electrically connected to the circuit board assembly 523, the detection member is installed on the machine body 10, and is configured to detect the remaining liquid amount in the liquid storage box 521 to obtain the liquid amount information of the liquid storage box 521. In this way, the liquid amount information of the liquid storage box 521 can be obtained through the detection member, and if the remaining liquid amount of the detergent is insufficient, the dishwasher 100 can automatically remind the user to add detergent, which is more intelligent and improves the user's experience.
[0079] In some structural forms, the detection member can be configured as an optical sensor. Accordingly, the liquid storage box 521 can be provided with a prism with the optical sensor. Under different liquid level conditions, the prism emits corresponding light to the optical sensor, so as to obtain the liquid volume information of the liquid storage box 521 through the optical sensor's reception of the light. It can be understood that the optical sensor has the advantages of stable performance, high reliability, and not being affected by high temperature and high pressure. In other structural forms, the detection member can be configured as a resistance liquid level sensor and installed in the liquid storage cavity 521a, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0080] Please combine Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the embodiment of the present application, the liquid storage box 521 has a placement position for placing detergent in the first installation cavity 5113. It can be understood that when the liquid storage box 521 is located at the placement position, the liquid storage box 521 can be docked with the pump body 522, and the pump body 522 pumps the detergent in the liquid storage box 521 and places it into the washing cavity 10a under the control of the circuit board assembly 523. In the placement position, there are many forms of connection between the pump body 522 and the liquid storage box 521. In an optional structural form, the pump body 522 has a first connector 5221 exposed in the first installation cavity 5113, and the liquid storage box 521 is provided with a second connector 5216 connected to the liquid storage cavity 521a. In order to maximize the use of the space of the liquid storage cavity 521a and facilitate the pump body 522 to pump detergent, the second connector 5216 can be optionally arranged at the bottom of the box body 5211, and the second connector 5216 extends to the side of the box body 5211. Among them, a plurality of supporting ribs are configured to form an air-avoiding groove 5213, and the second joint 5216 is disposed in the air-avoiding groove 5213 to protect the second joint 5216 to a certain extent. When the liquid storage box 521 is located at the placement position, the first joint 5221 is docked with the second joint 5216. Specifically, the first joint 5221 can be a male joint, and the second joint 5216 can be a female joint. When docking, the first joint 5221 partially extends into the second joint 5216, so that the two can be accurately docked and prevent detergent leakage.
[0081] For ease of explanation, the embodiment of the present application defines the direction in which the liquid storage box 521 moves toward the placement position as the docking direction. For example, the direction in which the first connector 5221 and the second connector 5216 dock is the docking direction.
[0082] The delivery device 50 of the embodiment of the present application further includes a guide structure 518, which is configured to drive the liquid storage box 521 to move as the cover 516 moves relative to the seat 511, so that when the cover 516 covers the disassembly and assembly port 5111, the liquid storage box 521 is located at the delivery position. Exemplarily, the guide structure 518 can be arranged on the seat 511, and the guide structure 518 can be movably arranged and is connected to the cover 516 in a transmission manner, so that when the cover 516 moves, the guide structure 518 moves at the same time to drive the liquid storage box 521 to move. Alternatively, part of the guide structure 518 is arranged on the seat 511 to guide the movement of the liquid storage box 521, and the other part is arranged on the cover 516 to drive the liquid storage box 521 to move when the cover 516 moves, so that the liquid storage box 521 moves to the delivery position under the joint action of the two parts. The movement (docking direction) of the liquid storage box 521 may be along the front-to-back direction as shown in the figure or along the left-to-right direction, and the present application does not limit this.
[0083] Alternatively, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments of the present application, the first joint 5221 is arranged on the left side of the first installation cavity 5113, and the docking direction is arranged along the left-right direction, that is, the liquid storage box 521 is driven to approach the first joint 5221 along the left-right direction, so that the first joint 5221 is docked with the second joint 5216. Docking along the left-right direction can avoid occupying too much space in the front-back direction, improve the space utilization rate of the body 10 of the dishwasher 100, and facilitate the arrangement of components. In this embodiment, the bottom of the cover body 516 is rotatably connected to the base body 511 through the pivot 517, and the guide structure 518 includes a guide portion 5181 arranged on the side of the cover body 516 away from the first joint 5221, that is, the right side of the cover body 516, and the guide portion 5181 is extended along the movement direction of the cover body 516 covering the disassembly opening 5111. In the process of the cover body 516 covering the disassembly opening 5111, the guide portion 5181 can drive the liquid storage box 521 to move along the docking direction.
[0084] Please refer to Figure 5 , the side plate 5165 of the cover body 516 is extended in the front-to-back direction and extends into the first installation cavity 5113. The guide portion 5181 is provided on the side plate 5165 on the right side of the cover body 516, and the extension direction of the guide portion 5181 can be consistent with the extension direction of the side plate 5165, which is convenient for demoulding when the injection molding process is adopted. Of course, the extension direction of the guide portion 5181 can also be inconsistent with the extension direction of the side plate 5165, and even the cover body 516 in some embodiments may not be provided with the side plate 5165, and it is only necessary to ensure that when the cover body 516 covers the disassembly opening 5111, the guide portion 5181 can extend into the first installation cavity 5113.
[0085] Please continue to refer to Figures 5 to 7, the guide portion 5181 is provided with a guide surface 5183. In one embodiment, in the process that the cover body 516 gradually rotates to cover the disassembly and assembly opening 5111, the guide portion 5181 gradually approaches the first installation cavity 5113. Gradually, the guide portion 5181 penetrates into the gap between the liquid storage box 521 and the right side wall of the first installation cavity 5113, and at this time, the guide surface 5183 abuts against the side wall of the liquid storage box 521 away from the second joint 5216, that is, the right side wall of the liquid storage box 521. Compared with the right side wall of the liquid storage box 521, the guide surface 5183 is inclined, so that when the guide surface 5183 abuts against the right side wall of the liquid storage box 521, the tangent of the guide surface 5183 at the contact position with the liquid storage box 521 is set at an acute angle with the right side wall of the liquid storage box 521, that is, the guide surface 5183 is configured to abut against the right side wall of the liquid storage box 521 at an acute angle, that is, the guide surface 5183 is configured to abut against the right side wall of the liquid storage box 521 at an acute angle. In this way, as the cover 516 covers the disassembly opening 5111, the guide portion 5181 moves into the first installation cavity 5113, while the guide surface 5183 gradually moves away from the right side wall of the first installation cavity 5113, forcing the liquid storage box 521 abutting against the guide surface 5183 to move to the left side of the first installation cavity 5113. In this way, the liquid storage box 521 can be driven by the structural design of the guide surface 5183, and the structure is simple, effective and easy to implement. The first joint 5221 is exposed on the left side of the first installation cavity 5113. When the liquid storage box 521 moves to the placement position, the first joint 5221 and the second joint 5216 are connected. It can be understood that at this time, the cover 516 covers the disassembly opening 5111, and the guide portion 5181 is located in the first installation cavity 5113.
[0086] Alternatively, the guide portion 5181 may be provided in a block shape; or, the guide portion 5181 includes one guide rib or multiple guide ribs provided side by side, the bottom of the guide rib is connected to the cover plate 5161, one side is connected to the side plate 5165, and the side of the guide rib away from the cover body 516 is formed as a guide surface 5183, the guide surface 5183 is extended from the bottom to the top of the guide rib, and the width of the guide rib becomes smaller and smaller in the direction away from the cover plate 5161, so that the guide surface 5183 can be abutted against the side wall of the liquid storage box 521 away from the second joint 5216 at an acute angle. It can be understood that the guide portion 5181 in the form of a guide rib is not only convenient for demoulding during injection molding, but also can save materials and reduce costs while ensuring support.
[0087] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the cover 516 can move in the form of flipping up and down or flipping left and right. For example, the bottom wall of the cover 516 is rotatably connected to the base 511 and can flip up and down. When the cover 516 is opened, the cover 516 can be easily opened by its own weight, and when the disassembly opening 5111 is fully opened, the flipping structure can make the cover 516 occupy less front space, which is convenient for operation; or, the cover 516 can also be pulled forward and backward to open or close the disassembly opening 5111. It can be understood that no matter what kind of movement the cover 516 adopts, the setting form of the above-mentioned guide structure 518 can drive the liquid storage box 521 to move in the first installation cavity 5113 along the docking direction during the movement of the cover 516 covering the disassembly opening 5111.
[0088] Further, please refer again to Figure 5 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, at least one of the side walls in the left and right directions of the first installation cavity 5113 is provided with a third buckle 5117, and the third buckle 5117 is elastically arranged. A third buckle position 5165a is provided on the side plate 5165, and the third buckle position 5165a can be specifically a card slot. When the cover plate 5161 covers the disassembly and assembly opening 5111 of the first installation cavity 5113, the third buckle 5117 is matched and connected with the third buckle position 5165a to maintain the covering state of the cover body 516 and protect the components in the first installation cavity 5113. In order to improve stability, the left and right side walls of the first installation cavity 5113 are provided with a third buckle 5117, and the two side plates 5165 on both sides of the cover plate 5161 are provided with a third buckle position 5165a. Of course, the third buckle position 5165a can also be provided on the side wall of the first installation cavity 5113, and the third buckle 5117 can be provided on the side plate 5165, and the same effect can be obtained.
[0089] In the embodiment of the present application, the placement seat 51 does not have too many fixing structures for the liquid storage box 521. When the cover 516 is opened, the liquid storage box 521 can be placed in the first installation cavity 5113 more arbitrarily through the disassembly opening 5111. When the cover 516 moves relative to the seat 511 and covers the disassembly opening 5111, the guide structure 518 drives the liquid storage box 521 to move until the cover 516 covers the disassembly opening 5111 and the liquid storage box 521 is located at the placement position to perform the detergent placement operation.
[0090] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, since the liquid storage box 521 is movable and not restricted before the cover body 516 is not closed, the liquid storage box 521 can be directly taken out by opening the cover body 516; and after the liquid storage box 521 is placed in the first installation cavity 5113 through the disassembly opening 5111, it is only necessary to move the cover body 516 until the cover body 516 covers the disassembly opening 5111, and the liquid storage box 521 can be driven to move by the guide structure 518 so that the liquid storage box 521 is located in the delivery position. Compared with the prior art, during the maintenance of the delivery device 50, there is no need to first fix the liquid storage box 521 and then fix the related shell or first remove the related shell and then remove the liquid storage box 521, which simplifies the operation steps, making the maintenance of the delivery device 50 simple, convenient and easy to operate, and the disassembly efficiency is high, which can effectively improve the user experience.
[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, the guide surface 5183 can be set as a curved surface or an inclined surface. Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments, the guide surface 5183 includes a first guide segment 5184 and a second guide segment 5185 that are connected, and the second guide segment is closer to the bottom of the guide portion 5181 than the first guide segment. Thus, in the process of the cover body 516 closing the disassembly and assembly opening 5111, the first guide segment 5184 and the second guide segment 5185 are configured to successively abut against the side wall of the liquid storage box 521 away from the second joint 5216.
[0092] Among them, the slope of the second guide section 5185 is greater than that of the first guide section 5184, or in other words, the second guide section 5185 is steeper than the first guide section 5184. In this way, the force exerted by the guide surface 5183 on the liquid storage box 521 is divided into forces in the front-to-back direction and the left-to-right direction. When the first guide section 5184 abuts against the liquid storage box 521, the angle between the first guide section 5184 and the liquid storage box 521 is large, and the force exerted by the first guide section 5184 in the front-to-back direction is large, and the force in the left-to-right direction is small; when the second guide section 5185 abuts against the liquid storage box 521, the angle between the second guide section 5185 and the liquid storage box 521 is small, and the force in the front-to-back direction is small, and the force in the left-to-right direction is large; that is, under the premise of no slippage, the second guide section 5185 can provide a strong thrust in the left-to-right direction, and due to the small angle, the stability is also improved. Optionally, the first connector 5221 or the second connector 5216 is elastic to reduce damage to the device caused by the connector docking and improve compatibility. During the docking process of the first connector 5221 and the second connector 5216, the second guide section 5185 abutting the liquid storage box 521 can ensure smooth docking and prevent the liquid storage box 521 from getting stuck.
[0093] Further, in some embodiments, the guide surface 5183 further includes a limiting section 5186, which is closer to the bottom of the guide portion 5181 than the second guide section 5185, so that when the liquid storage box 521 is located at the placement position, the limiting section 5186 can abut against the side wall of the liquid storage box 521 away from the second joint 5216, so that the liquid storage box 521 can be prevented from leaving the placement position in the opposite direction of the docking direction (i.e., the direction away from the first joint 5221), thereby improving the relative stability of the liquid storage box 521 and the placement seat 51. Optionally, the limiting section 5186 is roughly parallel to the side wall of the liquid storage box 521 away from the second joint 5216 to increase the contact area and ensure the limiting effect. The limiting section 5186 is smoothly connected to the second guide section to reduce scratches on the liquid storage box 521 and make the movement of the liquid storage box 521 smooth to avoid jamming. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting section 5186 and the first guide section 5184 and the second guide section 5185 are arranged on different structures, and the present application does not limit this.
[0094] Please continue to refer to Figures 5 to 7 In order to further limit the liquid storage box 521 to the placement position, the guide structure 518 also includes a limiting portion 5187. The limiting portion 5187 is arranged on the side of the cover body 516 close to the first joint 5221, that is, the left side of the cover body 516. The limiting portion 5187 is configured to abut the side wall of the liquid storage box 521 close to the second joint 5216 when the liquid storage box 521 is located at the placement position. In this way, when the liquid storage box 521 is located at the placement position, it is exactly located between the limiting portion 5187 and the limiting section 5186 of the guide portion, and the liquid storage box 521 can neither continue to move along the docking direction nor leave the placement position in the opposite direction of the docking direction. The liquid storage box 521 can be relatively more stably limited to the placement position. In addition, the limiting portion 5187 can also limit the movement of the liquid storage box 521 along the docking direction to prevent the first joint 5221 and the second joint 5216 from being damaged by the moving liquid storage box 521. Optionally, the limiting portion 5187 may be block-shaped, or the limiting portion 5187 may include a plurality of limiting ribs; and the surface of the limiting portion 5187 facing the liquid storage box 521 may be parallel to the left side wall of the liquid storage box 521, or be inclined relative to the left side wall of the liquid storage box 521. The inclined surface of the limiting portion 5187 can be compatible with liquid storage boxes 521 of more sizes and has a wider applicability.
[0095] Please refer to Figure 7In one embodiment, the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113 is further provided with a convex rib 5119 for abutting against the bottom wall of the liquid storage box 521, and the liquid storage box 521 can move relative to the convex rib 5119 along the docking direction. Exemplarily, the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113 is provided with two convex ribs 5119 at intervals along the left-right direction, and the extension direction of the convex rib 5119 is set at an angle with the left-right direction, for example, the convex rib 5119 can extend along the front-back direction. When the liquid storage box 521 is placed in the first installation cavity 5113, the bottom of the liquid storage box 521 abuts against the convex rib 5119. Compared with directly contacting with the wall surface of the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113, the contact area between the liquid storage box 521 and the convex rib 5119 in this way is smaller, and the friction resistance during movement is smaller, so that the liquid storage box 521 can be further prevented from being stuck during movement, thereby improving its movement smoothness. In some embodiments, the bottom of the liquid storage box 521 is a support portion 5212 composed of a plurality of support ribs. In this case, the contact area between the support ribs and the convex ribs 5119 is further reduced than before, and the smoothness of the movement of the liquid storage box 521 can be further increased. It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the number and form of the convex ribs 5119, and will not be listed one by one here.
[0096] To improve the accuracy and stability of the docking process of the liquid storage box 521, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the inner wall of the first installation cavity 5113 is provided with a guide boss 5118 extending along the docking direction (left-right direction), and a guide notch 5214 is provided on one side of the liquid storage box 521. The guide boss 5118 extends into the guide notch 5214, and the two cooperate to enable the liquid storage box 521 to move along the guide boss 5118. The guide boss 5118 can provide certain support for the liquid storage box 521, thereby improving the movement stability of the liquid storage box 521. Among them, the guide boss 5118 is arranged in a strip shape, and can be convexly arranged on the bottom wall or the rear side wall of the first installation cavity 5113. The guide notch 5214 is a notch-shaped structure formed by the arrangement of multiple support ribs at the bottom of the liquid storage box 521. Specifically, support ribs are distributed on the front side of the box body 5211, and are less or not distributed on the rear side thereof. The support ribs are extended in the up-down direction, and the surface of the support ribs and the bottom wall of the rear side of the box body 5211 are formed to form the above-mentioned guide notch 5214. In an optional embodiment, the guide boss 5118 is formed by a protruding portion of the wall surface of the bottom wall or the rear side wall of the first installation cavity 5113, and the outer surface of the guide boss 5118 defines the farthest distance that the liquid storage box 521 penetrates into the first installation cavity 5113 along the front-back direction. In other words, when the user puts the liquid storage box 521 in such a way that the wall surface of the guide boss 5118 abuts against the wall surface of the guide notch 5214, it indicates that the liquid storage box 521 is in place. At this time, it is only necessary to design the distance between the first joint 5221 and the guide boss 5118, and the relationship between the second joint 5216 and the guide notch 5214 to ensure that when the liquid storage box 521 moves along the guide boss 5118 to the placement position, the first joint 5221 can be docked with the second joint 5216, thereby ensuring the accuracy of docking.
[0097] For further information, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8, the inner wall of the guide notch 5214 is provided with a positioning protrusion 5215 extending toward the guide boss 5118, and the guide boss 5118 is provided with a positioning groove 5118a. Optionally, the positioning protrusion 5215 can be a plurality of supporting ribs provided at the bottom of the box body 5211, and along the extending direction of the guide boss 5118, the length of the positioning protrusion 5215 is less than the length of the positioning groove 5118a, so that the positioning protrusion 5215 can be movably provided in the positioning groove 5118a. In this way, on the one hand, the positioning protrusion 5215 provided in the guide notch 5214 is conducive to balancing the weight of the liquid storage box 521, so that the rear side of the liquid storage box 521 can also be supported to a certain extent to prevent the liquid storage box 521 from overturning; on the other hand, the positioning protrusion 5215 and the positioning groove 5118a can play a role of pre-positioning, so that the liquid storage box 521 can be in a proper position when it is placed in the first installation cavity 5113. For example, the guide portion 5181 can be inserted between the liquid storage box 521 and the right side wall of the first installation cavity 5113 to ensure the effectiveness of the guide structure 518; furthermore, the wall surfaces on the left and right directions of the positioning groove 5118a can cooperate with the positioning protrusion 5215 to limit the position when the liquid storage box 521 reaches the placement position, thereby preventing the liquid storage box 521 from being too close to the first joint 5221 and damaging the related structure.
[0098] Of course, in some other embodiments, a guide notch 5214 may be provided in the first mounting cavity 5113, and a guide boss 5118 may be provided on the liquid storage box 521. The guide boss 5118 cooperates with the guide notch 5214, which can also achieve the purpose of improving the movement stability of the liquid storage box 521.
[0099] In order to keep the liquid storage box 521 at the placement position when the cover body 516 covers the disassembly opening 5111 , the placement device 50 further includes a limiting structure 519 .
[0100] Please refer to Figure 7 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In some embodiments, the docking direction coincides with the left-right direction, and the limiting structure 519 includes a first buckle 5191 and a first buckle position 5192. The first buckle 5191 is elastically disposed on the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113, and the first buckle position 5192 can be disposed on the bottom wall of the liquid storage box 521. When the liquid storage box 521 moves to the placement position along the docking direction, the first buckle 5191 is matched and connected with the first buckle position 5192. Specifically, a avoidance notch is provided on the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113 corresponding to the position of the first buckle 5191, and the first buckle 5191 is disposed in the avoidance notch to reduce the portion protruding from the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113, thereby avoiding interference with the movement of the liquid storage box 521. Fig. 9The first buckle 5191 includes a buckle body 5191b and an elastic arm 5191a, one end of the elastic arm 5191a is connected to the side wall of the avoidance gap, and the other end is extended to the right side along the left-right direction, and the buckle body 5191b is arranged at the right end of the elastic arm 5191a. The buckle body 5191b is roughly block-shaped, and the side (right side) of the buckle body 5191b away from the elastic arm 5191a is provided with an inclined guide slope 5191c, so that the liquid storage box 521 can smoothly move from the right side of the buckle body 5191b to the left side, avoiding the situation where the buckle body 5191b is stuck to the liquid storage box 521. The first buckle position 5192 can be a groove structure arranged at the bottom of the liquid storage box 521 and facing the bottom wall opening of the first installation cavity 5113, and can be formed by multiple support ribs arranged at the bottom of the box body 5211 of the liquid storage box 521 being vacant at appropriate positions. As shown in the figure, the plurality of support ribs include two parts, the left and right parts, and the support ribs of the left and right parts are arranged at intervals to form the above-mentioned first buckle position 5192. When the support ribs of the left part pass through the buckle body 5191b, the buckle body 5191b rebounds due to the action of the elastic arm 5191a and penetrates into the first buckle position 5192. At this time, the left wall of the buckle body 5191b abuts against the right wall of the support ribs of the left part of the liquid storage box 521, thereby realizing the limited cooperation between the first buckle 5191 and the first buckle position 5192. In this way, when the liquid storage box 521 is located in the placement position, the first buckle 5191 and the first buckle position 5192 abut against each other at least in the left and right directions, thereby being able to block the movement of the liquid storage box 521 away from the placement position in the opposite direction of the docking direction (the direction toward the right in the figure), thereby improving the stability of the liquid storage box 521 in the placement position.
[0101] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the limiting structure 519 further includes a second buckle 5193 and a second buckle position 5194. The second buckle 5193 is elastically disposed at the bottom of the liquid storage box 521 and is spaced apart from the first buckle position 5192, and the second buckle position 5194 is disposed at the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113 and is spaced apart from the first buckle 5191. When the liquid storage box 521 moves to the placement position along the docking direction, the second buckle 5193 is connected with the second buckle position 5194. Fig.10As shown, in one of the optional embodiments, the second buckle 5193 is located on the right side of the first buckle position 5192, and is specifically arranged on the side wall of the support rib of the right side of the liquid storage box 521. The second buckle 5193 is extended along the docking direction, and there is a gap between the second buckle 5193 and the bottom wall of the box body 5211. A guide slope 5191c is also provided on the left side of the second buckle 5193 so that the second buckle 5193 can be inserted into the second buckle position 5194. The second buckle position 5194 is formed by a strip arm and the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113, the two ends of the strip arm are connected to the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113, and the middle part is spaced from the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113 to form a through hole. When the liquid storage box 521 is located at the placement position, the second buckle 5193 is inserted into the through hole, and the strip arm is located in the above-mentioned gap to achieve the limiting cooperation between the second buckle 5193 and the second buckle position 5194. Among them, the surface of the strip arm facing the first installation cavity 5113 is formed as a limiting surface. When the second buckle 5193 is inserted into the through hole, the limiting surface can abut against the upper surface of the second buckle 5193. In this way, the second buckle 5193 can not only block the movement of the liquid storage box 521 in the left and right directions, but also block the movement of the liquid storage box 521 in the direction perpendicular to the docking direction (up and down direction) away from the placement position, thereby further improving the stability of the liquid storage box 521 in the placement position.
[0102] Please refer to Fig.10In one embodiment, the guide structure 518 includes a limiting portion 5187 and a guide portion 5181 disposed on the left and right sides of the cover body 516, and the guide portion 5181 is provided with a limiting section 5186. When the liquid storage box 521 is located at the placement position, the limiting portion 5187 abuts against the side of the liquid storage box 521 close to the first joint 5221 (left side), and the limiting section 5186 abuts against the side of the liquid storage box 521 away from the first joint 5221 (right side). At the same time, the first buckle 5191 is limitedly matched with the first buckle position 5192, and the second buckle 5193 is limitedly matched with the second buckle position 5194. In the above case, the limiting portion 5187 and the first buckle 5191 form two forces in different directions on two parts of the left half of the liquid storage box 521, thereby clamping the left half of the liquid storage box 521, and the limiting section 5186 and the second buckle 5194 form a clamp on the right half of the liquid storage box 521. In this way, the guiding structure 518 cooperates with the limiting structure 519, and the liquid storage box 521 can be firmly fixed in the placement position under the combined action of multiple constraints, effectively improving the position stability of the liquid storage box 521 in the placement position. In this way, the placement device 50 can better achieve the effect of fixing the liquid storage box 521 through the seat body 511, the cover body 516, the guiding structure 518 and the limiting structure 519, without additionally reinforcing the liquid storage box 521, or fixing the liquid storage box 521 by means of screws, etc., and only by closing the cover body 516 to achieve the above purpose, which undoubtedly has a lower learning cost than the related technology, and is simpler and easier to operate, and has higher efficiency.
[0103] It is understandable that the arrangement positions and forms of the first buckle 5191, the second buckle 5193, the first buckle position 5192 and the second buckle position 5194 in the embodiment of the present application are not limited to the above examples. For example, the first buckle 5191 and the second buckle 5193 can also be arranged on the seat body 511, and the first buckle position 5192 and the second buckle position 5194 can be arranged on the liquid storage box 521. Or in some other embodiments, the first buckle 5191 and the first buckle position 5192 can also be hooked, so that the movement of the liquid storage box 521 in multiple directions can be restricted. In short, under the premise of improving the stability of the liquid storage box 521, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the structural form of the first buckle 5191, the second buckle 5193, the first buckle position 5192 and the second buckle position 5194, and no more details are given here.
