Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of household appliances, and particularly to a dispensing device and a washing machine. Background Art

[0002] A washing machine is a cleaning appliance that uses water as the main cleaning liquid and utilizes electric energy to generate mechanical action to wash clothes. In order to achieve good cleaning effect and convenience of use, existing washing machines usually use a detergent called a washing bead. A washing bead is a spherical detergent in which the internal laundry detergent is wrapped by a water-soluble film, and has the advantages of small volume, high portability, and strong cleaning power.

[0003] When existing washing beads are used, they are mainly directly placed into the washing drum for cleaning, or placed in the area where the laundry detergent is originally dispensed in the dispenser box. After the water-soluble film is dissolved by the water flow in the water inlet pipe, the internal laundry detergent is flushed into the washing drum along with the water flow.

[0004] However, when directly putting the washing beads into the washing drum, when it is necessary to increase the number of washing beads, it is necessary to first stop the washing machine and then open the protective cover of the washing drum before placing them, and the operation is rather cumbersome; while putting the washing beads into the area where the laundry detergent is originally dispensed in the dispenser box, the water-soluble effect of the water-soluble film is directly affected by the water flow rate, and at the same time, it is easier to leave cleaning marks in the dispenser box, thus breeding bacteria in the dispenser box. Therefore, the current effect of dispensing washing beads in the washing machine is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Embodiments of this application provide a dispensing device and a washing machine, which can solve the problem of poor effect when dispensing laundry beads in the washing machine in the prior art. The technical solutions are as follows:

[0033] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more apparent and understandable, the following will describe the detailed implementation manners of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to fully understand the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the connotation of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0034] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that if there are terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., the orientation or positional relationship indicated by these terms is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0035] In addition, if there are terms such as "first" and "second", these terms are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of the present application, if there is a term "plurality", the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0036] The laundry detergent beads are a new type of laundry product. Inside the beads is concentrated detergent, and the outer film is made of water-soluble polymer material, which dissolves in water. When using, there is no need to cut open the film. Usually, it is stored in a dry and cool place and can be touched with dry hands when using. As a new product, the laundry detergent beads have many conveniences compared to other traditional laundry products.

[0037] Few existing washing machines are provided with a dedicated dispensing box for laundry detergent beads. When using existing laundry detergent beads, they are usually put into the area where laundry liquid is originally dispensed in the dispensing box, and this area is connected to the water flow channel. After the outer film is dissolved by the water flow in the water flow channel, the water with detergent is flushed into the laundry tub, and then the washing machine body is started for washing; or they are directly put into the laundry tub for dissolution and rinsing.

[0038] However, the applicant has found that the existing ways of using laundry beads have many inconveniences. For example, when directly putting the laundry beads into the washing drum, in case of omission, it is necessary to first open the protective cover at the washing drum to complete the feeding. During this process, the user's hands will inevitably come into contact with the water soaking the dirty clothes, which is very cumbersome; while putting the laundry beads into the area where the laundry detergent is originally placed in the dosing box, the water-soluble effect of the water-soluble film will be directly affected by the water flow rate, and at the same time, it is easier to leave cleaning marks in the dosing box, thus breeding bacteria in the dosing box. Therefore, the current effect of putting laundry beads in the washing machine is poor.

[0039] A dosing device provided by an embodiment of the present application can be integrated in a washing machine. Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. is a schematic perspective view of a dosing device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The dosing device 000 may include: a dosing box 100 and a dosing assembly 200.

[0040] To more clearly see the internal structure of the dosing device 000, Figure 2 is Figure 1 FIG. shows a schematic internal structure view of a dosing device. The dosing box 100 of the dosing device 000 may have a carrying cavity S10. Among them, the carrying cavity S10 is used to carry laundry beads C.

[0041] Exemplarily, the dosing box 100 may include: a box body 120 and a dosing member 110 located inside the box body 120. Among them, the dosing member 110 may have a carrying cavity S10 for carrying laundry beads C. It should be noted that the box body 120 and the dosing member 110 in the dosing box 100 may be movably connected. In this way, after the dosing member 110 moves in a direction away from the box body 120, the carrying cavity S10 in the dosing member 110 can be exposed outside the box body 120, thereby facilitating the user to place the laundry beads C in the carrying cavity S10.

[0042] The dosing assembly 200 of the dosing device 000 may include: a first dosing tube 210 and a second dosing tube 220 connected to each other. The extending direction of the first dosing tube 210 intersects with the extending direction of the second dosing tube 220. The first end of the first dosing tube 210 may extend into the carrying cavity S10 and communicate with the carrying cavity S10, and the second end of the first dosing tube 210 may communicate with a part of the second dosing tube 220 located between the first end and the second end of the second dosing tube 220.

[0043] The second delivery tube 220 is used to communicate with the fluid supply source, and after the fluid supply source injects fluid into the second delivery tube 220, the interior of the first delivery tube 210 is used to form a negative pressure zone. Here, the first delivery tube 210 and the second delivery tube 220 connected in the delivery assembly 200 can form a venturi tube, and in the venturi tube, the faster the fluid flow rate in the second delivery tube 220, the smaller the pressure in the first delivery tube 210. For this reason, after the fluid supply source injects fluid into the second delivery tube 220, a negative pressure zone can be formed inside the first delivery tube 210.

[0044] Exemplarily, the fluid that the fluid supply source can supply to the second delivery pipe 220 may include at least one of a liquid or a gas. In a possible case, after the delivery device is integrated into the washing machine, the fluid supply source may be a water injection pipe provided in the washing machine, and the water injection pipe may be connected to the second delivery pipe 220 in the delivery assembly 200. In this way, the fluid that the water injection pipe can inject into the second delivery pipe 220 may be the flowing washing water.

[0045] In this case, please refer to Figure 2 When the user needs to put the laundry beads C into the washing machine, the user can first put the laundry beads C into the bearing cavity S10 of the delivery box 100. After that, the fluid supply source (that is, the water injection pipe in the washing machine) can inject fluid into the second delivery pipe 220 in the delivery assembly 200, and the fluid supply source injects the fluid into the second delivery pipe 220 at a faster flow rate. During the flow of these fluids in the second delivery pipe 220, they will pass through the position where the second delivery pipe 220 is connected to the first delivery pipe 210, so that a negative pressure zone can be formed inside the first delivery pipe 210. Since the end of the first delivery pipe 210 away from the second delivery pipe 220 is connected to the bearing cavity S10, after the negative pressure zone is formed inside the first delivery pipe 210, the first delivery pipe 210 can suck the laundry beads C in the bearing cavity S10 into the second delivery pipe 220, so that the laundry beads C entering the second delivery pipe 220 can be delivered into the washing drum of the washing machine under the driving action of the fluid in the second delivery pipe 220.

[0046] In summary, the dispensing device provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a dispensing box and a dispensing component. The dispensing box has a carrying cavity, and the dispensing component includes a first dispensing tube and a second dispensing tube connected to each other. After the laundry beads are carried in the carrying cavity, a fluid supply source can inject fluid into the second dispensing tube, so that a negative pressure area is formed inside the first dispensing tube, and then the first dispensing tube can suck the laundry beads carried in the carrying cavity into the second dispensing tube. In this way, the laundry beads entering the second dispensing tube can be dispensed into the laundry tub of the washing machine under the driving action of the fluid in the second dispensing tube. In this way, on the one hand, when it is necessary to increase the number of laundry beads during the cleaning process, it is not necessary to stop the washing machine for dispensing; on the other hand, the washing beads will not dissolve in the dispensing box, thus avoiding the situation of breeding bacteria in the dispensing box due to leaving cleaning marks, and improving the dispensing effect of the washing beads.

[0047] Optionally, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 which is a schematic structural diagram of a dispensing component provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 is Figure 3 a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the dispensing component shown. The second dispensing tube 220 in the dispensing component 200 may include a first flow channel 221, a second flow channel 222, and a third flow channel 223 that are connected in sequence. Here, the extending directions of the first flow channel 221, the second flow channel 222, and the third flow channel 223 are the same, and the second flow channel 222 in the second dispensing tube 220 may be located between the first flow channel 221 and the third flow channel 223. The second flow channel 222 in the second dispensing tube 220 may be communicated with the second end of the first dispensing tube 210 in the dispensing component 200.

[0048] Among them, the inner diameter of the second flow channel 222 in the second dispensing tube 220 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first flow channel 221 and smaller than the inner diameter of the third flow channel 223.

[0049] In the present application, one end of the first flow channel 221 facing away from the second flow channel 222 is used to communicate with the fluid supply source. In this way, after the fluid supply source injects fluid into the first flow channel 221, the fluid can flow through the first flow channel 221 and the second flow channel 222 to the third flow channel 223.

[0050] It should be noted that, since the diameter of the second flow channel 222 in the second delivery pipe 220 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first flow channel 221 and smaller than the inner diameter of the third flow channel 223, the flow velocity of the fluid flowing in the second flow channel 222 with a relatively small diameter will be higher than the flow velocity of the fluid flowing in the first flow channel 221. In this case, it can be ensured that the flow velocity of the fluid during the flow in the second flow channel 222 of the second delivery pipe 220 is relatively high, so that the pressure in the delivery pipe 210 communicating with the second flow channel 222 is relatively small. Furthermore, it can be ensured that a negative pressure area can be formed inside the first delivery pipe 210, which can better suck the laundry beads carried in the carrying cavity S10 into the second flow channel 222 in the second delivery pipe 220.

[0051] Optionally, inside the second delivery pipe 220, the inner diameter of the first flow channel 221 can gradually increase in a direction away from the second flow channel 222, and / or the inner diameter of the third flow channel 223 can gradually increase in a direction away from the second flow channel 222.

[0052] It should be noted that Figure 3 and Figure 4 a schematic illustration is given taking the case where the inner diameter of the first flow channel 221 in the second delivery pipe 220 gradually increases in a direction away from the second flow channel 222 and the inner diameter of the third flow channel 223 in the second delivery pipe 220 also gradually increases in a direction away from the second flow channel 222 as an example.

[0053] In this case, when the inner diameter of the first flow channel 221 gradually increases in a direction away from the second flow channel 222 and the inner diameter of the third flow channel 223 in the second delivery pipe 220 also gradually increases in a direction away from the second flow channel 222, the fluid can enter the second flow channel 222 from the first flow channel 221 more smoothly, and the fluid can also enter the third flow channel 223 from the second flow channel 222 more smoothly.

[0054] Optionally, as Figure 4 shown, the second flow channel 222 in the second delivery pipe 220 can have a first opening K1, and the second end of the first delivery pipe 210 can have a second opening K2 that matches the shape of the first opening K1. That is to say, one end of the first delivery pipe 210 close to the second delivery pipe 220 can have the second opening K2, and the first delivery pipe 210 can be connected to the second flow channel 222 at the first opening K1 through the second opening K2. In this way, it can be ensured that the second flow channel 222 in the second delivery pipe 220 can communicate with the first delivery pipe 210 through the first opening K1 and the second opening K2.

[0055] In this case, after a negative pressure area is formed inside the first delivery tube 210, the first delivery tube 210 sucks in the laundry beads carried in the carrying cavity S10, and the laundry beads entering the first delivery tube 210 can sequentially move through the second opening K2 and the second opening K1 into the second flow channel 222 in the second delivery tube 220.

[0056] It should be noted that after fluid is injected into the second delivery tube 220 at the fluid supply end, the flow velocity of the fluid flowing in the second flow channel 222 in the second delivery tube 220 is relatively high. Therefore, after passing through the second flow channel 222, the fluid will directly be injected into the third flow channel 223 having the same extension direction as it, rather than being injected into the first delivery tube 210 through the first opening K1 and the second opening K2. For this reason, the fluid in the second delivery tube 220 in the delivery assembly 200 will not be injected into the first delivery tube 210.

[0057] Optionally, as Figure 5 shown, Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of another delivery device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The delivery box 100 in the delivery device 000 may further have: a delivery inlet B1 communicating with the carrying cavity S10. By way of example, the delivery member 110 in the delivery box 100 may have this delivery inlet B1. The carrying cavity S10 of the delivery member 110 may have a carrying guiding surface B2 disposed opposite to the delivery inlet B1, and the carrying guiding surface B2 may be inclined with respect to the plane where the delivery inlet B1 is located.

[0058] Among them, the first end of the first delivery tube 210 in the delivery assembly 200 may face the tail of the carrying guiding surface B2 of the delivery member 110. Here, after the object to be delivered (i.e., the laundry bead C) is put into the carrying cavity S10 through the delivery inlet B1 of the delivery member 110, the object to be delivered can move from the head of the carrying guiding surface B2 to the tail of the carrying guiding surface B2 on the carrying guiding surface B2.

[0059] Exemplarily, since the dispensing member 110 in the dispensing cassette 100 is movably connected to the cassette body 120, after the dispensing member 110 moves in a direction away from the cassette body 120, the dispensing inlet B1 of the dispensing member 110 can be exposed outside the cassette body 120, for dispensing the laundry beads C into the dispensing inlet B1. The laundry beads C that enter the bearing cavity S10 of the dispensing member 110 through the dispensing inlet B1 can move from the head of the bearing guide surface B2 of the bearing cavity S10 to the tail of the bearing guide surface B2. Also, since the first end of the first dispensing tube 210 in the dispensing assembly 200 can face the tail of the bearing guide surface B2 of the dispensing member 110, the laundry beads C that move to the tail of the bearing guide surface B2 can be blocked by the first end of the first dispensing tube 210, so that the laundry beads C can be located near the first end of the first dispensing tube 210. In this way, after a negative pressure area is formed in the first dispensing tube 210, the first dispensing tube 210 can better suck the laundry beads C through the first end of the first dispensing tube 210.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the first end of the first dispensing tube 210 in the dispensing assembly 200 can have an inlet K3. That is, the end of the first dispensing tube 210 extending into the bearing cavity S10 of the dispensing member 110 can have an inlet K3. Here, the opening surface of the inlet K3 of the first dispensing tube 210 can be an inclined surface inclined towards the head of the bearing guide surface B2.

[0061] In this case, after the laundry beads C put into the bearing cavity S10 move from the head of the bearing guide surface B2 to the tail of the bearing guide surface B2, the laundry beads C can be blocked by the first end of the first dispensing tube 210 extending into the bearing cavity S10. Since the first end of the first dispensing tube 210 has an inlet K3 inclined towards the head of the bearing guide surface B2, at least part of the laundry beads C blocked by the first end of the first dispensing tube 210 can enter the first dispensing tube 210 through the inlet K3. In this way, after a negative pressure area is formed in the first dispensing tube 210, the first dispensing tube 210 can directly suck all the laundry beads C distributed at the inlet K3 into the second dispensing tube 220.

[0062] Optionally, the size of the opening surface of the inlet K3 of the first dispensing tube 210 is less than or equal to the size of the object to be dispensed (i.e., the laundry beads C).

[0063] In this case, the laundry detergent beads C that move to the inlet K3 of the first delivery tube 210 can block the inlet K3 to ensure that after a negative pressure area is formed in the first delivery tube 210, the air pressure inside the first delivery tube 210 will be less than the air pressure inside the carrier cavity S10. That is, a pressure difference will be formed on both sides of the laundry detergent beads C that move to the inlet K3 of the first delivery tube 210. Under the action of this pressure difference, it can be ensured that the laundry detergent beads C will be pressed into the first delivery tube 210.

[0064] It should be noted that the size of the laundry detergent beads C is also larger than the inner diameter of the first delivery tube 210. In this way, the laundry detergent beads that enter the inside of the first delivery tube 210 will always be pushed by the pressure difference formed on both sides and move into the inside of the second delivery tube 220 that is communicated with the first delivery tube 210.

[0065] Optionally, as Figure 6 shown, Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of another delivery device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The delivery device 000 may further include: an annular seal 300 fixed at the inlet K3 of the first delivery tube 210. Here, the annular seal 300 may include at least one of an annular sealing ring and an annular gasket.

[0066] In this case, the laundry detergent beads C that move to the inlet K3 of the first delivery tube 210 can abut against the annular seal 300, so as to better block the inlet K3 of the first delivery tube 210, so that there is no air leakage between the laundry detergent beads C and the annular seal 300. In this way, after a negative pressure area is formed in the first delivery tube 210, the laundry detergent beads C can be better pushed into the inside of the first delivery tube 210 through the pressure difference formed on both sides of the laundry detergent beads C.

[0067] Optionally, as Figure 7 shown, Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of another delivery box provided by an embodiment of the present application. The delivery box 100 may further include: at least one auxiliary delivery member 130 located on one side of the delivery member 110 and fixedly connected to the delivery member 110. Each auxiliary delivery member 130 may have an auxiliary carrier cavity S20 for carrying at least one of laundry detergent, fabric softener, and washing powder. For this reason, the delivery device 000 can not only deliver laundry detergent beads into the laundry tub of the washing machine through the delivery member 110, but also deliver laundry detergent, fabric softener, or washing powder into the laundry tub of the washing machine through the auxiliary delivery member 130.

[0068] It should be noted that the dispensing member 110 and the auxiliary dispensing member 130 in the dispensing box 100 can be referred to as the carrier box. In the embodiment of the present application, the box body 120 in the dispensing box 100 can be fixed in the washing machine, and the carrier box in the dispensing box 100 can be movably connected to the box body 120 in a pulling or rotating manner. In this way, when the user needs to dispense laundry beads or laundry detergent into the washing machine, only a force needs to be applied to the carrier box so that at least a part of the carrier box moves out of the box body 120 to ensure that the loading cavities in the dispensing member 110 and the auxiliary dispensing member 130 are exposed outside the box body 120.

[0069] In summary, the dispensing device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: a dispensing box and a dispensing component. The dispensing box has a loading cavity, and the dispensing component includes a first dispensing tube and a second dispensing tube connected to each other. After the laundry beads are loaded in the loading cavity, the fluid supply source can inject fluid into the second dispensing tube, so that a negative pressure area is formed inside the first dispensing tube, and then the first dispensing tube can suck the laundry beads carried in the loading cavity into the second dispensing tube. In this way, the laundry beads entering the second dispensing tube can be dispensed into the washing tub of the washing machine under the driving action of the fluid in the second dispensing tube. In this way, on the one hand, when it is necessary to increase the number of laundry beads during the cleaning process, it is not necessary to stop the washing machine to dispense; on the other hand, the washing beads will not dissolve in the dispensing box, thus avoiding the situation of breeding bacteria in the dispensing box due to leaving cleaning traces, and improving the dispensing effect of the washing beads.

[0070] The present application also provides a washing machine. Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 which is a schematic structural diagram of a washing machine provided in an embodiment of the present application. The washing machine may include a washing machine body 00 and a dispensing device 000 connected to the washing machine body 00, and the dispensing device 000 is the above-mentioned dispensing device 000. Among them, the user can dispense laundry beads into the washing tub of the washing machine by dispensing laundry beads into the dispensing device 000, so as to better clean the clothes to be washed in the washing tub through the laundry beads.

[0071] Optionally, the fluid supply source communicating with the second dispensing tube 220 in the dispensing device 000 can be the water injection tube in the washing machine body 00. That is to say, the water injection tube in the washing machine body 00 can be communicated with the second dispensing tube 220.

[0072] In this case, after the water injection pipe injects fluid into the second delivery pipe 220, a negative pressure area can be formed inside the first delivery pipe 210 connected to the second delivery pipe 220, so that the first delivery pipe 210 can suck the laundry beads carried in the carrying cavity S10 into the second delivery pipe 220. Since the fluid injected by the water injection pipe in the washing machine body 00 flows in the second delivery pipe 220, the laundry beads can move under the driving action of the fluid in the second delivery pipe 220, and at least part of the laundry beads can be dissolved by the fluid in the second delivery pipe 220. Therefore, the fluid exiting from the second delivery pipe 220 can be the cleaning water in which the laundry beads are dissolved, and this cleaning water can be injected into the laundry tub of the washing machine body 00. In this way, the operation of injecting the cleaning water in which the laundry beads are dissolved into the laundry tub can be realized, that is, the operation of putting the laundry beads into the laundry tub can be realized.
