Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of clothing processing equipment, and in particular relates to a disc seat structure of clothing processing equipment and the clothing processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] Clothing processing equipment includes washing machines, dryers and washer-dryers. They are cleaning appliances invented to save people's labor. They use electricity to generate mechanical action to wash clothes. With the improvement of living standards, they have spread to tens of millions of households, providing convenience to people's lives.

[0003] However, most current laundry detergent dispensers utilize a drawer-style structure, with the detergent dispenser located within the drawer. To add detergent, the user must pull out the drawer and open the lid of the dispenser. This inconvenient process can easily lead to misplacing detergents with different efficacy, impacting the user experience. Frequent pulling and unloading operations can also easily cause the drawer-style structure to malfunction. Furthermore, the siphon line connecting the detergent dispenser to the washing tub is connected to the washing tub at one end, and the detergent dispenser is positioned above the tub. Therefore, when dispensing detergent into the detergent dispenser, if a large amount of water remains in the siphon line and the siphon line's opening is filled with detergent, unmixed detergent can flow out through the siphon line, resulting in loss and waste of detergent.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, for example, the invention patent with application number 201811636180.7 only discloses that two treatment agent injection ports are set on the disc seat, which are used to inject laundry detergent and softener respectively. However, it cannot solve the problem that detergent easily causes a siphon effect in the siphon pipe, resulting in waste of treatment agent.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a disc seat structure and a clothing treatment device. When the treatment agent that is not mixed with water impacts the opening of the siphon tube, the anti-siphon opening at the bottom end of the sleeve penetrates its inner and outer sides, so that the part of the sleeve enclosing the siphon tube cannot form a sealed cavity, thereby avoiding the accidental triggering of the siphon tube to produce a siphon effect and waste of treatment agent.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0008] The present invention provides a tray structure of a clothes processing device, comprising:

[0009] The tray seat has a concave treatment agent delivery trough, and the bottom of the treatment agent delivery trough has a siphon tube extending upward to connect the inner and outer sides thereof;

[0010] The cover body covers the opening at the top of the treatment agent feeding tank, is spaced apart from the bottom of the treatment agent feeding tank, and has a sleeve on the lower side of the top wall;

[0011] The top wall and side wall of the sleeve enclose the siphon tube, the bottom end of the sleeve is an opening connected to the treatment agent delivery tank, and the bottom of the side wall of the sleeve is provided with an anti-siphon port that passes through the inner and outer sides thereof.

[0012] According to the present invention, when the surface of the disc seat is not covered by an organic shell cover, the user can conveniently add the treatment agent to the treatment agent introduction port, and when the treatment agent that is not mixed with water impacts the opening of the siphon tube, the anti-siphon port at the bottom end of the sleeve penetrates both the inner and outer sides, so that the part of the sleeve enclosing the siphon tube cannot form a sealed cavity, thereby avoiding the accidental triggering of the siphon tube to produce a siphon effect and waste of treatment agent.

[0013] A further solution of the present invention is that the anti-siphon port is connected to the open port at the bottom end of the sleeve, and the area of ​​the anti-siphon port is smaller than the area of ​​the open port of the sleeve.

[0014] In the above scheme, after the treatment agent and water come into contact to form a mixed liquid, and the sleeve is immersed and the siphon tube is filled to trigger the siphon effect, the atmospheric pressure exerted on the mixed liquid when it contacts the atmosphere through the anti-siphon port is much smaller than the suction force generated by the siphon effect of the siphon tube, thereby achieving the effect that the anti-siphon port does not affect the siphon tube's ability to absorb the mixed liquid at the bottom of the treatment agent delivery tank through the sleeve.

[0015] A further solution of the present invention is that: the cover is provided with a treatment agent injection port;

[0016] The projection area of ​​the treatment agent introduction port onto the bottom of the treatment agent introduction tank does not overlap with the projection area of ​​the opening of the siphon tube onto the bottom of the treatment agent introduction tank.

[0017] In the above solution, the treatment agent delivery port allows the user to deliver the treatment agent to the treatment agent delivery slot without opening the cover, which facilitates the user's delivery operation, makes the cover more durable, and avoids the treatment agent directly impacting the opening of the siphon tube and wasting the treatment agent.

[0018] A further solution of the present invention is that the cover body is concave and contracted from the treatment agent injection port toward the bottom of the tank to form a liquid inlet channel, and the sidewalls of the liquid inlet channel are inclined and extend downward and gradually approach the center;

[0019] A maximum liquid level indicator mark is provided on the side wall of the liquid inlet channel, and the maximum liquid level indicator mark is provided below the opening of the siphon tube.

[0020] In the above solution, the liquid inlet channel and the maximum liquid level indicator further facilitate the user's operation of adding treatment agent to the treatment agent feeding tank, thereby avoiding the user from wasting treatment agent by adding treatment agent that exceeds the opening of the siphon tube.

[0021] A further solution of the present invention is that an overflow outlet is further provided in the treatment agent delivery tank, and the overflow outlet is provided at a height between the opening of the siphon tube and the water inlet.

[0022] In the above scheme, the siphon effect is generated in the siphon pipeline only when water is fed into the treatment agent delivery tank from the water inlet and the mixture of treatment agent and water reaches the opening of the siphon tube, thereby avoiding the treatment agent directly impacting the opening of the siphon tube and accidentally triggering the siphon tube to produce a siphon effect and waste the treatment agent.

[0023] A further solution of the present invention is that the cover is detachably arranged with the groove wall of the treatment agent delivery groove through a connecting structure, and the connecting structure at least includes a buckle group and a slot group.

[0024] In the above solution, it is convenient for the user to clean the treatment agent delivery slot after removing the cover.

[0025] A further solution of the present invention is that the connection structure further includes a fixing member group;

[0026] The upper portion of the side wall of the treatment agent delivery trough extends inwardly to form a plane supporting the fixing member group.

[0027] A further solution of the present invention is that: two adjacent side walls of the treatment agent delivery trough are connected to form an angle structure, and the angle of at least one angle structure is an acute angle;

[0028] The angle structure having at least an acute angle clamps the cover body, so that the cover body and the wall of the treatment agent delivery tank are detachably arranged.

[0029] In the above solution, the cover body and the wall of the treatment agent feeding tank are further stably installed.

[0030] The present invention also provides a clothes processing device, which is provided with the tray seat structure of the clothes processing device.

[0031] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0032] 1. When the surface of the disc seat is not covered by the cover, the user can easily add the treatment agent to the treatment agent injection port. When the treatment agent that has not been mixed with water impacts the opening of the siphon tube, the anti-siphon port at the bottom of the sleeve penetrates both sides of it, so that the part of the sleeve enclosing the siphon tube cannot form a sealed cavity, thereby avoiding the siphon effect caused by accidental triggering of the siphon tube and wasting the treatment agent.

[0033] 2. The present invention has a simple structure, significant effects and is suitable for popularization and use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0049] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0050] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; and direct or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, the present invention provides a disc seat structure of a clothing treatment device and a clothing treatment device. When the treatment agent that is not mixed with water impacts the opening of the siphon tube 22, the anti-siphon opening 171 at the bottom end of the sleeve 17 penetrates the inner and outer sides thereof, so that the part of the sleeve 17 enclosing the siphon tube 22 cannot form a sealed cavity, thereby avoiding the accidental triggering of the siphon tube 22 to produce a siphon effect and waste of the treatment agent.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this embodiment provides a disc seat structure of a clothing processing device, including: a disc seat 2, having a concave treatment agent delivery trough 21, the bottom of the treatment agent delivery trough 21 having a siphon tube 22 extending upward and connecting the inside and outside thereof; a cover body 1, covering the opening at the top of the treatment agent delivery trough 21, spaced from the bottom of the treatment agent delivery trough 21, and a sleeve 17 is provided on the lower side of the top wall; the top wall and side walls of the sleeve 17 are arranged to enclose the siphon tube 22, the bottom end of the sleeve 17 is an opening connected to the treatment agent delivery trough 21, and the bottom of the side wall of the sleeve 17 is provided with an anti-siphon port 171 passing through the inside and outside thereof.

[0054] It is understandable that the siphon effect is a phenomenon in which water in the water inlet container is sucked into the siphon channel due to the atmospheric pressure difference between the water surface of the water inlet container and the water outlet of the siphon channel. Therefore, the conditions for the siphon effect to occur are: the siphon channel must be filled with liquid first; the highest point of the siphon channel must not be higher than the height of the water column supported by atmospheric pressure from the water inlet height; and the water outlet of the siphon channel must be lower than the water surface of the water inlet container. Among them, since the dish seat 2 of the washing equipment must be set at a position higher than the washing tub, and the treatment agent delivery trough 21 connecting the dish seat 2 and the washing tub must not be set higher than the treatment agent delivery trough 21, therefore, no matter where the delivery pipeline connected to the siphon pipe 22 described in this embodiment is connected to the atmosphere, the place where it is connected to the atmosphere must be lower than the bottom of the treatment agent delivery trough 21, so the latter two of the above conditions must be met.

[0055] That is, in this embodiment, as long as a set amount of the treatment agent and water mixture is introduced into the siphon tube 22, so that the siphon tube 22 is filled with the mixture flowing to the delivery pipeline, the siphon tube 22 can generate a siphon effect, continuously sucking in the mixture passing through the sleeve 17. In this embodiment, a sufficient amount of the treatment agent and water mixture is poured into the treatment agent delivery tank 21 and the sleeve 17 through the water inlet 23, so that the liquid level in the sleeve 17 is higher than the opening of the siphon tube 22, and the water naturally falls and fills the siphon tube 22, thereby generating the siphon effect.

[0056] It can be understood that by allowing the treatment agent to impact the opening of the siphon tube 22, a continuous siphon effect may be formed only within a very short period of time of its impact. During this period, since the treatment agent does not submerge the anti-siphon port 171 and the part of the sleeve 17 that encloses the siphon tube 22 cannot form a closed siphon channel, the siphon effect cannot be accidentally triggered.

[0057] In addition, the case where the siphon effect is triggered by making the liquid level in the sleeve 17 higher than the opening of the siphon tube 22 is different from the case where the siphon effect is triggered by the treatment agent impacting the opening of the siphon tube 22: first, the siphon effect is triggered when the liquid level is higher than the opening of the siphon tube 22. Even if the siphon tube 22 absorbs more water after a period of time, making the liquid level lower than the opening of the siphon tube 22 and the anti-siphon port 171, the liquid level difference at the two ends of the water in the siphon tube 22 where they contact the atmosphere is much greater than the liquid level difference caused by the treatment agent impacting the opening of the siphon tube 22 to trigger the siphon effect. In other words, the siphon effect of the former produces a greater suction of liquid at the anti-siphon port 171. The force of the former is much greater than the suction force on the liquid generated by the latter at the anti-siphon port 171; secondly, when the liquid level of the former is lower than the anti-siphon port 171, a continuous siphon effect has been formed in the sleeve 17 inside the anti-siphon port 171. At this time, cutting off the siphon effect through the smaller anti-siphon port 171 requires overcoming the flow rate of the liquid, and when the latter triggers the siphon effect, it is highly likely that the sleeve 17 inside the anti-siphon port 171 cannot be guaranteed to be full of liquid. That is to say, the resistance of the atmosphere of the latter to enter the sleeve 17 through the anti-siphon port 171 is much smaller than the resistance of the atmosphere of the former to enter the sleeve 17 through the anti-siphon port 171.

[0058] Therefore, the anti-siphon opening 171 of this embodiment will not affect the effect of sucking the mixed liquid at the bottom of the treatment agent delivery tank 21 through the siphon effect triggered when the liquid level is higher than the opening of the siphon pipe 22. Figure 5 and 6 As shown by the hollow arrow in the figure, the suction force generated by the siphon effect of the siphon tube 22 can act along the sleeve 17 to its open end, so that no matter how low the liquid level of the mixed liquid is, it can be continuously sucked into the siphon tube 22 along the sleeve 17 until the mixed liquid is completely sucked in.

[0059] It should be noted that the treatment agent dispensing slot 21 described in this embodiment is preferably used to receive a softener or other solvent that requires delayed dispensing, which is dispensed by the user. The type of treatment agent in this embodiment is preferably softener, but it can also be laundry detergent. The clothing treatment device described in this embodiment is preferably a pulsator washing machine or a pulsator washer-dryer. The base 2 is provided with a clothing dispensing port 311 connected to the washing tub, so that the user can dispense the treatment agent after placing the clothes without performing additional operations such as opening the lid or pulling out the dispensing box. The device can also be a drum-type clothing treatment device.

[0060] Therefore, when the surface of the disc seat 2 is not covered by the shell cover, the user can conveniently add the treatment agent to the treatment agent injection port 11, and when the treatment agent that is not mixed with water impacts the opening of the siphon tube 22, the bottom end of the sleeve 17 is provided with an anti-siphon port 171 that passes through the inside and outside, so that the part of the sleeve 17 that encloses the siphon tube 22 cannot form a sealed cavity, thereby avoiding the accidental triggering of the siphon tube 22 to produce a siphon effect and waste of treatment agent.

[0061] Preferably, the anti-siphon opening 171 is connected to the opening at the bottom end of the sleeve 17 , and the area of ​​the anti-siphon opening 171 is smaller than the area of ​​the opening of the sleeve 17 .

[0062] In some possible embodiments, the anti-siphon port 171 may not be connected to the opening of the sleeve 17 , but may be disposed on the side wall of the sleeve 17 .

[0063] Furthermore, the anti-siphon port 171 is as follows Figure 2 As shown, its area is small, so that the atmospheric pressure exerted on the mixed liquid at the anti-siphon port 171 when it contacts the atmosphere is much smaller than the suction force generated by the siphon effect of the siphon tube 22. Therefore, the anti-siphon port 171 will not affect the siphon tube 22 that has generated the siphon effect and absorbs the mixed liquid at the bottom of the treatment agent delivery tank 21 along the sleeve 17.

[0064] It is understandable that after the last washing program of the washing equipment is completed, the siphon tube 22 absorbs the mixed liquid in the treatment agent delivery tank 21. When the user again adds or pours the treatment agent into the treatment agent delivery tank 21, even if a certain amount of treatment agent impacts the sleeve 17 and reaches the opening of the siphon tube 22, the siphon tube 22 is accidentally triggered to produce a siphon effect. Since the anti-siphon port 171 passes through the inner and outer sides of the sleeve 17, a closed space cannot be formed inside the sleeve 17 before the treatment agent is immersed in the anti-siphon port 171, and the siphon tube 22 cannot continue to absorb the treatment agent along the sleeve 17.

[0065] Therefore, through the anti-siphon port 171, when the water level of the mixed liquid in the treatment agent delivery tank 21 is lower than the anti-siphon port 171, a closed space cannot be formed inside the sleeve 17, and the mixed liquid or treatment agent cannot be sucked in, further avoiding the accidental triggering of the siphon tube 22 to produce a siphon effect and waste of treatment agent.

[0066] Furthermore, the cover 1 is provided with a treatment agent delivery port 11; the projection area of ​​the treatment agent delivery port 11 onto the bottom of the treatment agent delivery tank 21 does not overlap with the projection area of ​​the opening of the siphon tube 22 onto the bottom of the treatment agent delivery tank 21. Through the treatment agent delivery port 11, the user can deliver treatment agent into the treatment agent delivery tank 21 without opening the cover 1, which facilitates the user's delivery operation, makes the cover 1 more durable, and prevents the treatment agent from directly impacting the opening of the siphon tube 22 and wasting the treatment agent.

[0067] Furthermore, the cover 1 is recessed and contracted from the treatment agent delivery port 11 toward the tank bottom to form a liquid inlet channel 112. The sidewalls of the liquid inlet channel 112 extend obliquely downward, gradually approaching the center. A maximum liquid level indicator 113 is provided on the sidewalls of the liquid inlet channel 112, and the maximum liquid level indicator 113 is positioned below the opening of the siphon tube 22. The liquid inlet channel 112 and the maximum liquid level indicator 113 further facilitate the user's operation of adding treatment agent to the treatment agent delivery tank 21, avoiding the user from wasting treatment agent by adding treatment agent beyond the opening of the siphon tube 22.

[0068] Furthermore, a water inlet 23 is provided in the treatment agent delivery tank 21. The water inlet 23 is arranged higher than the opening of the siphon tube 22. Therefore, since the treatment agent delivered by the user does not reach the opening of the siphon tube 22, the siphon effect can be controlled by controlling whether a set amount of water flows into the water inlet 23 so that the mixture of treatment agent and water fills the siphon tube 22.

[0069] It is understandable that directly adding the treatment agent without mixing it with water into the washing tub results in poor timing of adding the treatment agent and poor efficacy, resulting in waste of the treatment agent.

[0070] It should be noted that the treatment agent delivery tank 21 described in this embodiment is preferably used to receive softener and other solvents that need to be delivered later. The type of treatment agent described in this embodiment is preferably softener, but it can also be laundry detergent.

[0071] Therefore, the siphon effect is generated in the siphon tube 22 only when the water inlet 23 feeds water into the treatment agent delivery tank 21 and the mixture of the treatment agent and water reaches the opening of the siphon tube 22, thereby avoiding the treatment agent directly impacting the opening of the siphon tube 22 and accidentally triggering the siphon effect of the siphon tube 22 to waste the treatment agent.

[0072] Furthermore, an overflow outlet 24 is provided in the treatment agent delivery tank 21. The overflow outlet 24 is located between the opening of the siphon tube 22 and the water inlet 23. When the mixed liquid cannot flow out of the siphon tube 22 in time, it can flow out through the overflow outlet 24, thereby preventing the mixed liquid from flowing into the water inlet 23 and causing the mixed liquid to flow back into the water inlet pipe of the clothing treatment device and contaminating the clean water flow in the water inlet pipe of the clothing treatment device.

[0073] Furthermore, the cover 1 is detachably connected to the wall of the treatment agent delivery slot 21 via a connection structure, wherein the connection structure comprises at least a buckle assembly 12 and a slot assembly 25. This facilitates the user to clean the treatment agent delivery slot 21 after removing the cover 1.

[0074] Further, such as Figures 4 to 6As shown, the connection structure further includes a fixing member group 13 ; the upper portion of the side wall of the treatment agent delivery trough 21 extends inward to form a plane supporting the fixing member group 13 .

[0075] Furthermore, two adjacent side walls of the treatment agent delivery trough 21 are connected to form an angle structure, and the angle of at least one angle structure is an acute angle; at least the angle structure with an acute angle clamps the cover body 1, so that the cover body 1 and the trough wall of the treatment agent delivery trough 21 are detachable.

[0076] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the angle of the angle structure is a rounded angle, and the angle is the angle at the intersection of the extensions of the two side walls.

[0077] In summary, the stable installation of the cover 1 and the wall of the treatment agent feeding tank 21 is further achieved.

[0078] In this embodiment, Figure 1 The specific structure of the tray 2 shown is as follows: the washing machine is preferably a pulsator washing machine or a washer-dryer. The tray 2 is provided with a clothing inlet 311 for loading clothes into its washing tub. Detergent and treatment agent inlets 4 and 21 are provided on either side of the clothing inlet 311, near the control panel, to prevent users from mixing up the treatment agent and detergent. The surface of the tray 2 on which the clothing inlet 311, detergent and treatment agent inlets 4 and 21 are provided is approximately rectangular. The detergent and treatment agent inlets 4 and 21 are approximately triangular, with one angle of the triangular structure being close to an angle of the rectangular structure and being arranged at a right angle, thus avoiding waste of surface area of ​​the tray 2. The treatment agent delivery trough 21 is provided with a raised water inlet 23 at a right angle, the siphon tube 22 is provided at an acute angle, and a strip-shaped overflow outlet 24 is provided on the oblique side 14 connected to the two right-angled sides, so that the overflow outlet 24 does not occupy too much space in the treatment agent delivery trough 21, while being able to absorb a large amount of mixed liquid above its opening. The side wall of the treatment agent delivery trough 21 is also slightly bent inward to form a plane that can support the fixed part. Furthermore, the bottom wall of the treatment agent delivery trough 21 can be slightly tilted toward the siphon tube 22. Further, as Figure 10 As shown, a plurality of transverse, vertical and oblique reinforcing ribs are provided on the bottom surface of the tray base 2 to strengthen the structural strength of the clothing delivery port 311 , the detergent delivery slot 4 and the treatment agent delivery slot 21 .

[0079] In this embodiment, Figure 2 and 9The specific structure of the cover body 1 shown is as follows: the cover body 1 is an approximately triangular structure that cooperates with the treatment agent delivery groove 21 and is not higher than the opening at the top of the treatment agent delivery groove 21. The cover body 1 has a bevel 14, a vertical side 15 extending along the straight wall of the disc base 2, and a horizontal side 16 extending along the horizontal wall of the disc base 2. Two bevel buckles 121 are provided on the bevel 14, a vertical side buckle 122 is provided on the vertical side 15, and a horizontal side buckle 123 is provided on the horizontal side 16. The two acute angles where the bevel 14 is connected to the vertical side 15 and the horizontal side 16 are respectively provided with a first acute angle fixing The fixing member group 132, the second sharp angle fixing member group 133 and the connecting member 135, the connecting member 135 is used to connect the top wall of the cover body 1 and the sleeve 17, the right angle fixing member 131 is set at the angle where the vertical side 15 and the horizontal side 16 are connected, the fixing member group 13 includes the first sharp angle fixing member group 132 and the second sharp angle fixing member group 133, the cover body 1 has three guide walls from the treatment agent delivery port 11 to form an approximately triangular liquid inlet channel 112, the guide wall is provided with an overflow port 111, and the overflow port 111 is set at a height higher than the overflow outlet 24 and lower than the water inlet 23.

[0080] Further, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the cover body 1 is not provided with the acute angle between the connecting member 135 and the sleeve 17, and a supporting fixing member 134 is also provided. The groove wall of the treatment agent delivery groove 21 shrinks inward at the angle where the siphon tube 22 is not provided to form a larger large plane. The supporting fixing member 134 contacts the large plane, thereby supporting the cover body 1, so that the cover body 1 will not be damaged by the impact force of the treatment agent on it.

[0081] In this embodiment, the assembly relationship between the cover 1 and the treatment agent delivery tank 21 is as follows: Figures 3 to 8 As shown, it should be noted that the oblique side clips 121, vertical side clips 122, and horizontal side clips 123 are preferably made of soft materials and can be slightly bent during installation. After being installed in place, they are respectively snapped into the slots of the oblique side 14, the slots of the vertical side 15, and the slots of the horizontal side 16 to achieve fixed installation of the cover body 1. The right-angle fixing member 131, the first sharp angle fixing member group 132, and the second sharp angle fixing member group 133 are respectively extended downward from the top wall of the cover body 1. When they contact the plane of the treatment agent delivery trough 21, they are installed in place. At this time, due to the protrusion of the fixing member group 13, the side wall of the treatment agent delivery trough 21 can also be further fixed to the cover body 1 by clamping the fixing member group 13.

[0082] In this embodiment, when the surface of the disc seat 2 is covered with an inorganic shell cover, the user can conveniently add the treatment agent to the treatment agent delivery port 11, and through the sleeve 17 that encloses the opening of the siphon tube 22, it is achieved that the siphon tube 22 produces a siphon effect only when water is introduced into the treatment agent delivery tank 21 and the mixture of the treatment agent and water reaches the opening of the siphon tube 22, thereby avoiding the treatment agent directly impacting the opening of the siphon tube 22 and accidentally triggering the siphon tube 22 to produce a siphon effect and waste the treatment agent; the present invention has a simple structure and significant effect, and is suitable for promotion and use.
