Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of clothing treatment. Specifically, it relates to a dosing device for laundry treatment beads and also to a laundry treatment device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society and the improvement of living standards, people's treatment of clothing is not limited to washing and drying. There is also a need for care treatments such as adding fragrance, softening, removing odors, and preventing mildew to improve the wearing experience and enhance the quality of life. To achieve the above-mentioned clothing treatment effects, in the prior art, new laundry treatment bead products such as washing beads and fragrance-retaining beads have gradually entered thousands of households. Among them, beads are quite popular among people due to their advantages such as convenient use, strong decontamination ability, and rich washing effects. The general process of the existing beads is that when doing laundry, the beads are placed in the dispenser box of the laundry treatment device or in the washing drum. After the beads are in full contact with the water flow, the water-soluble film on the outer layer of the beads dissolves and releases the laundry treatment agents such as the washing liquid wrapped inside, thereby realizing the cleaning and care functions for the clothes in the washing drum.

[0003] However, in the prior art, after the beads are placed in the dispenser box or in the washing drum, they may be sandwiched in the clothes in the drum and do not directly contact the incoming water flow. As a result, after the washing water inlet process is completed and at the end of the set washing program, the beads come into contact with water and break, causing problems such as the ineffective dosing of the laundry treatment agents in the beads and the incomplete washing of the clothes during the washing process.

[0004] Therefore, a dosing solution for beads that can be widely applied to various types of laundry treatment devices is needed to improve the dosing effect of the laundry treatment beads.

[0046] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "connected", and "coupled" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0047] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, a dosing device 300 for laundry treatment beads is introduced. The dosing device 300 for laundry treatment beads can be taken and placed in a washing drum 200 provided in a housing 100 of a laundry treatment device, so that a user can place a dosing bead 5 to be dosed in the dosing device 300, and then the dosing device 300 is put into the washing drum 200. The structure on the dosing device 300 is used to specifically break the dosing bead 5, so as to discharge the laundry treatment agent in the dosing bead 5 outward, so that the dosing bead 5 can be broken at a specified time period and discharge the laundry treatment agent into the washing drum 200 of the laundry treatment device, avoiding the situation that the dosing bead 5 is broken before or after the end of the washing of the laundry treatment device.

[0048] As Figures 1 to 11As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a dosing device for a laundry treatment agent in the form of a laundry treatment agent bead is introduced, which comprises: a housing 1, which is hollow inside and forms a dosing chamber 11 for dosing the laundry treatment agent in the bead 5; a plurality of dosing holes 12 are provided on the housing 1, and the dosing holes 12 communicate the dosing chamber 11 with the outside; a puncturing structure 2 protruding into the dosing chamber 11 is installed on the housing 1, and the puncturing structure 2 is installed on the housing 1 through a pressing and locking structure 3. The puncturing structure 2 can be switched to be located at a puncturing position or a separating position respectively; after the user applies a pressing force towards the inside of the housing 1 to the pressing and locking structure 3, the puncturing structure 2 moves inwards to the puncturing position, and the puncturing end of the puncturing structure 2 correspondingly contacts and punctures the bead 5 in the dosing chamber; after the user applies a pressing force towards the inside of the housing 1 to the pressing and locking structure 3 for the second time, the puncturing structure 2 moves outwards to the separating position, and the puncturing end of the puncturing structure 2 is separated from and no longer contacts the outer wall of the bead 5 in the dosing chamber 11.

[0049] Through the above settings, by using the repeated pressing action of the user, the effect of switching and moving the puncturing structure 2 between the puncturing position and the separating position is realized, and then the effect of controllable puncturing and dosing of the bead 5 is achieved; at the same time, through the pressing and locking structure 3, the movement of the puncturing structure 2 to the puncturing position or the separating position is locked and positioned, and then problems such as the outer wall of the bead 5 not being effectively punctured and dosed in time are avoided, and the puncturing structure 2 effectively punctures the bead 5.

[0050] In this embodiment, the pressing and locking structure 3 comprises: a pressing part 31, which is connected to the puncturing structure 2 and is provided with reverse teeth 33; a guiding part 32, which is connected to the housing 1 and is provided with guiding teeth 34 arranged at circumferential intervals. The gaps between the guiding teeth 34 are alternately arranged first guiding grooves 351 and second guiding grooves 352; after the user presses the pressing part 31, under the cooperation of the reverse teeth 33 and the guiding teeth 34, as Figure 8 shown, the reverse teeth 33 are in the first guiding groove 351 and the puncturing structure 2 is in the puncturing position; or as Figure 7 shown, the reverse teeth 33 are in the second guiding groove 352 and the puncturing structure 2 is in the separating position; preferably, the tooth top surface of the guiding teeth 34 is an inclined surface inclined towards the same circumferential direction side, and the tooth top surface of the reverse teeth 33 is an inclined surface inclined towards the other circumferential direction side. Further preferably, a plurality of reverse teeth 33 are arranged at circumferential intervals on the pressing part 31, and the widths of the reverse teeth 33 are equal to the widths of the guiding grooves 35; and the distance between adjacent reverse teeth 33 is equal to the distance between adjacent second guiding grooves 352, so that all the reverse teeth 33 are in the first guiding groove 351 or in the second guiding groove 352 at the same time, and then the effect of driving the puncturing structure 2 to switch and move between the puncturing position and the separating position by the pressing part 31 is realized.

[0051] In this embodiment, in order to improve the smoothness of the movement of the reverse teeth 33, the bottom surface of the first guiding groove 351 is set as the same inclined surface connected to the top surface of the guiding teeth 34 adjacent to the next circumferential direction, so that when the reverse teeth 33 move downward, they can be smoothly guided by the matching inclined surfaces of the two and slide into the second guiding groove 352 in the next position.

[0052] Preferably, the pressing part 31 is a columnar shape extending vertically, and reverse teeth 33 protruding outward are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the columnar shape, and the tops of the reverse teeth 33 are arranged upward; the guiding part 32 is a sleeve shape extending vertically, the columnar pressing part 31 is coaxially inserted into the sleeve-shaped guiding part 32, and a plurality of guiding teeth 34 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral side wall of the guiding part 32, the tops of the guiding teeth 34 are arranged downward, and the gaps between adjacent guiding teeth 34 respectively form guiding grooves 35 for the reverse teeth to be correspondingly inserted. Each guiding groove 35 is divided into a first guiding groove 351 and a second guiding groove 352 with different depths; and the first guiding groove 351 and the second guiding groove 352 are alternately distributed in the circumferential direction, that is, the adjacent sides of each first guiding groove 351 are respectively the second guiding groove 352, and the adjacent sides of each second guiding groove 352 are respectively the first guiding groove 351.

[0053] In this embodiment, a spring 38 is provided between the pressing part 31 and the housing 1, which is used to drive the pressing part 31 to move in the direction opposite to the pressing direction, so as to push the reverse teeth 33 of the pressing part 31 to slide into the bottom of the first guiding groove 351 and keep the puncturing structure 2 in the puncturing position; or push the reverse teeth 33 of the pressing part 31 to slide into the bottom of the second guiding groove 352 and keep the puncturing structure 2 in the separating position; preferably, the bottom of the first guiding groove 351 is lower than the bottom height of the second guiding groove 352, and the height difference is greater than the maximum deformation amount of the outer wall of the condensate bead 5.

[0054] Preferably, a spring 38 is clamped between the lower end of the columnar pressing part 31 and the lower end of the track 36 provided on the housing. The spring 38 provides an upward reset elastic force to the columnar pressing part 31, which is used to push the pressing part 31 in the direction opposite to the pressing direction, that is, upward, and is used to push the pressing part 31 to be in the bottom position of the guiding groove 35, so as to realize the effect that the puncturing structure 2 is correspondingly locked in the puncturing position or the separating position. The track 36 is a track structure radially protruding inward on the inner wall of the housing, and the pressing part 31 is slidably installed on the track 36 up and down, so that the pressing part 31 can only generate relative displacement up and down and cannot rotate circumferentially, and the pressing part 31 rotates circumferentially together with the housing 1.

[0055] As Figures 1 to 12As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the housing 1 is spherical and is divided into two hemispherical parts, namely the upper and lower first housing 111 and second housing 112, which are buckled together to form the spherical housing 1; the puncturing structure 2 is installed at the center of the first housing 111 through the pressing and locking structure 3, and the puncturing structure 2 moves radially in and out along the spherical housing 1 under the action of the pressing and locking structure 3; preferably, a ring of radially outwardly opening grooves 19 is provided at the opening of the first housing 111, and a ring of inwardly protruding locking protrusions 110 corresponding to be inserted into the grooves 19 is provided at the opening of the second housing 112, so that the first housing 111 can be rotatably and relatively buckled and installed with the second housing 112 in the circumferential direction.

[0056] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a perforation is provided at the top of the semi-circular first housing 111; at least a part of the top of the pressing part 31 passes through the housing from the perforation, the height of the part of the pressing part 31 protruding from the housing 1 is H, and the height difference between the bottoms of the first guiding groove 351 and the second guiding groove 352 is h, and the above-mentioned H is greater than or equal to h, and h is greater than or equal to the maximum deformation amount of the outer wall of the condensate bead 5, so that the user can press the pressing part 31 inwardly externally, and then the puncturing structure 2 can smoothly puncture the outer wall of the condensate bead 5 to achieve the effect of discharging the detergent inside the condensate bead 5 outward.

[0057] Preferably, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown in the figure, a ring of vertically extending annular ribs can be provided inside the first housing 111, and a ring of vertically extending annular ribs can be provided inside the second housing. The two rings of annular ribs are arranged on the outer periphery of the housing, opposite to each other up and down. The locking grooves 19 are provided on the upper annular rib, and the locking protrusions 110 are provided on the lower annular rib, so as to achieve the effect of rotatable installation after the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 are buckled; at the same time, the engaging structure connecting the two hemispherical housings can be hidden inside the inner cavity 11 of the housing 1 to avoid situations such as being unable to engage due to contamination by clothing lint and the like.

[0058] In this embodiment, a guide rail 17 is provided on the first housing 111, the pressing part 31 is arranged on the guide rail 17, the guide rail 17 extends along the radial direction of the inner cavity 11, and the pressing part 31 can only slide up and down along the guide rail 17. Preferably, the guide rail 17 is a vertically extending track, and the pressing part 31 is correspondingly installed on the guide rail 17 and can only slide up and down along the guide rail 17 and cannot rotate relatively circumferentially, so that the pressing part 31 rotates together with the installed first housing 111.

[0059] In this embodiment, at the openings of the first housing 111 and the second housing 112, there are provided semi-circular arc portions 16 that match each other. The semi-circular arc portions 16 of the two housings are spliced to form the middle radial circumference of the spherical housing 1. When the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 rotate relative to each other around the axis, at least part of the two semi-circular arc portions 16 overlap, so as to form an opening 14 at the middle of the spherical housing 1 for taking and placing the condensate beads 5. Preferably, on the outer walls of the first housing 111 and the second housing 112, there are respectively provided outwardly protruding stop protrusions 15, and at least part of the two stop protrusions 15 protrude from the same circumferential section of the spherical housing 1, which is used to provide a limit stop when the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 rotate relative to each other to open or close the opening 14.

Of course, the protrusions can also be arranged in other structural forms, for example, a plurality of outwardly protruding columnar protrusions are arranged at intervals on the outer wall of the housing 1, etc., to rub the clothes in the barrel by using the protrusions, improving the washing effect of the clothes and avoiding the entanglement of the clothes, etc.

[0063] In this embodiment, the specific process of dispensing the condensate beads is as follows:

[0064] As Figure 1 shown, the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 rotate circumferentially relative to each other, and at least part of the semicircular arc portions 16 of the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 overlap, so that the central opening 14 of the spherical housing 1 is opened for the user to put the condensate bead 5 into the inner dispensing cavity 11 of the housing 1 through the opening 14. The condensate bead 5 is located between the upper puncturing structure 21 and the lower puncturing structure 22, and the upper puncturing structure 21 is in the separated position and does not perform a puncturing action on the condensate bead 5;

[0065] As Figure 2 shown, the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 rotate circumferentially relative to each other in another direction, and the semicircular arc portions 16 of the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 intersect, so that the central opening 14 of the spherical housing 1 is closed; and the limiting support protrusion 37 of the pressing portion 31 is correspondingly located at the notch 18 of the guide rail 17;

[0066] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, when the user presses down the pressing part 31, the limiting support convex part 37 is correspondingly inserted into the notch 18 of the guide rail 17, and the first shell 111 and the second shell 112 are circumferentially locked with each other; when the user puts the condensate bead dispenser 300 into the washing drum 200 of the laundry treatment device, the pressing part 31 drives the upper puncturing structure 21 to move downward, and under the action of the guiding part 32, the upper puncturing structure 21 is in the puncturing position. The upper puncturing structure 21 and the lower puncturing structure 22 squeeze and puncture the outer wall of the condensate bead 5, the condensate bead 5 breaks, and the detergent in the condensate bead 5 flows out from the dispensing hole 12 to the inside of the washing drum 200 to complete the detergent dispensing;

[0067] As Figure 2 shown in the figure, after the laundry treatment device finishes working, the user takes out the condensate bead dispenser 300 from the washing drum 200. The user presses down the pressing part 31 again, the pressing part 31 drives the upper puncturing structure 21 to move downward, and under the action of the guiding part 32, the upper puncturing structure 21 is in the separating position. The limiting support convex part 37 of the pressing part 31 moves out of the notch 18 of the guide rail 17, and after the first shell 111 and the second shell 112 are unlocked, they can rotate circumferentially relative to each other.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first shell 111 and the second shell 112 can also be fixedly connected by other structures; for example: fixed connection by using the structure of a hinge and a buckle. One side of the connecting end of the first shell 111 and the second shell 112 is provided with a hinge, and the other side is integrally connected by a buckle. Specifically, a buckle structure can be arranged on the other side of the connecting end of the first shell 111, and a clamping groove is provided at the corresponding position on the other side of the connecting end of the second shell 112. The buckle is connected to the clamping groove to make the first shell 111 and the second shell 112 connected integrally. The connection mode of the first shell 111 and the second shell 112 is convenient for opening the accommodating chamber to replace or add the laundry treatment agent condensate bead 5.

[0069] In this embodiment, the shell 1 can also be a polyhedron structure such as a regular hexahedron, or a regular octahedron, or a regular dodecahedron, or a regular icosahedron, etc.; of course, the shell 1 can also be any other structural form in the prior art.

[0070] In this embodiment, the laundry treatment agent in the condensate bead 5 can be any one or a combination of reagents in the prior art that can treat clothes, such as detergent, flavoring agent, fabric softener, bleaching agent, deodorant, etc., so as to be dispensed during the working process of the laundry treatment device to improve the laundry treatment effect; at the same time, since the above-mentioned condensate bead dispenser 300 is placed in the washing drum 200, the protruding part provided on the outer wall of the shell 1 of the condensate bead dispenser can rub the clothes in the drum to achieve the effect of unwinding the clothes in the drum during the working process of the laundry treatment device.
