[0047] Referring to Figures 1 to 12 The present embodiment discloses a washing bead dispensing device 10 suitable for a washing device, comprising a dispensing pipeline 15 and a water inlet assembly, and the upper end 151 of the dispensing pipeline 15 is provided with a dispensing port 152, which is only for one washing bead to pass through.

[0048] In addition, the lower end of the dispensing pipeline 15 is communicated with a liquid outlet pipeline 191 and a film outlet pipeline 192, and the lower end of the dispensing pipeline 15 is provided with a control valve 110, which controls the communication between the dispensing pipeline 15 and the liquid outlet pipeline 191 or the communication between the dispensing pipeline 15 and the film outlet pipeline 192, and the water inlet assembly supplies normal temperature water or heated water to the dispensing pipeline 15. Among them, the liquid outlet of the liquid outlet pipeline 191 is communicated with the washing cylinder of the washing device, the discharge port of the film outlet pipeline 192 extends outside the washing device, and the control valve 110 of the present embodiment is a three-way valve. Alternatively, the control valve 110 can include two one-way valves, one of which is arranged in the liquid outlet pipeline 191, and the other is arranged in the film outlet pipeline 192.

[0049] In addition, the washing bead dispensing device 10 of the present embodiment further comprises a piercing needle, the piercing needle 16 is located in the dispensing pipeline 15 and below the dispensing port 152, the piercing needle 16 is located below the water inlet port of the water inlet assembly and the dispensing pipeline 15, and the needle head 1611 of the piercing needle 16 can be arranged upward.

[0050] During the dispensing of the washing bead dispensing device 10 of the present embodiment, the washing beads are put one by one into the dispensing pipeline 15 from the dispensing port 152 of the upper end 151 of the dispensing pipeline 15, and the needle head 1611 of the piercing needle 16 is arranged upward, so that the needle head 1611 of the upward piercing needle 16 can pierce the protective film of the washing bead put into the dispensing pipeline 15, and the protective film of the pierced washing bead is hung on the piercing needle 16, and the washing liquid wrapped in the washing bead can flow out of the piercing port of the protective film into the lower end of the dispensing pipeline 15, and at this time the control valve 110 controls the communication between the dispensing pipeline 15 and the liquid outlet pipeline 191, so that the dispensing pipeline 15 and the film outlet pipeline 192 are in a non-communication state, so that the washing liquid in the lower end of the dispensing pipeline 15 flows into the liquid outlet pipeline 191.

[0051] When the number of washing condensation beads required in the corresponding washing mode is completed one by one into the delivery pipeline 15, the water inlet assembly is controlled to supply normal temperature water to the delivery pipeline 15, because the piercing needle 16 is located below the water inlet port of the water inlet assembly connected to the delivery pipeline 15, so that the normal temperature water can flush the residual washing liquid on the protective film suspended upward by the piercing needle 16, and flush the washing liquid in the delivery pipeline 15 and the liquid outlet pipeline 191, so as to completely flush the washing liquid on the protective film suspended upward by the piercing needle 16, in the delivery pipeline 15 and the liquid outlet pipeline 191, and flush into the washing drum of the washing equipment, so as to quickly flush the washing liquid into the washing drum, improve the utilization rate and cleaning efficiency of the washing liquid, at the same time, the normal temperature water has a certain water-soluble effect on the water-soluble protective film suspended upward by the piercing needle 16, and the water-soluble protective film enters the washing drum with the normal temperature water and does not pollute the clothes in the washing drum, and the residual protective film that has not been water-soluble is still suspended on the piercing needle 16.

[0052] When the water inlet assembly supplies normal temperature water to the delivery pipeline 15 for a predetermined time, the valve 110 controls the delivery pipeline 15 to communicate with the film outlet pipeline 192, at this time the delivery pipeline 15 and the film outlet pipeline 192 are in a disconnected state, and the water inlet assembly is controlled to supply heated water to the delivery pipeline 15, because the piercing needle 16 is located below the water inlet port of the water inlet assembly connected to the delivery pipeline 15, so that the heated water can flush the residual protective film on the piercing needle 16 to make it quickly and completely dissolved, and then discharged from the washing equipment through the film outlet pipeline 192, so as to avoid the pollution of the water-soluble protective film to the clothes in the delivery pipeline 15 and the washing drum.

[0053] Therefore, the washing condensation bead delivery device 10 of the embodiment can completely dissolve and remove the water-soluble protective film of the washing condensation bead, so as to avoid the pollution of the residual protective film to the clothes in the delivery pipeline 15 and the washing drum, thereby improving the cleaning effect of washing, and can quickly flush the washing liquid of the washing condensation bead into the washing drum, thereby improving the utilization rate and cleaning efficiency of the washing liquid.

[0054] In order to quickly flush the residual protective film on the piercing needle 16 in order to quickly and completely remove the residual protective film, the washing condensation bead delivery device 10 of the embodiment further comprises a rotation control mechanism, which controls the rotation of the piercing needle 16, so that the needle head 1611 is upward or downward, so that when the protective film of the washing condensation bead is pierced and the water inlet assembly supplies normal temperature water to the delivery pipeline 15, the rotation control mechanism controls the rotation of the piercing needle 16 to make the needle head 1611 of the piercing needle 16 upward, when the water inlet assembly supplies heated water to the delivery pipeline 15, the rotation control mechanism controls the rotation of the piercing needle 16 to make the needle head 1611 of the piercing needle 16 downward, so that the heated water flushed from top to bottom can quickly flush away the residual protective film suspended on the piercing needle 16, so as to quickly and completely remove the residual protective film by the heated water.

[0055] In order to ensure that the protective film of the washed and broken condensation beads can be stably hung on the upwardly arranged piercing needle 16 of the needle 1611, the piercing needle 16 of the embodiment includes a driving rod segment 162 and a piercing rod segment 161 connected with each other. The rotation control mechanism controls the rotation of the driving rod segment 162, and the piercing rod segment 161 is arranged perpendicularly to the driving rod segment 162. The needle 1611 is located at one end of the piercing rod segment 161 away from the driving rod segment 162, so that the piercing rod segment 161 and the driving rod segment 162 form an L-shaped arrangement. When the protective film of the washed and broken condensation beads is hung on the piercing rod segment 161 where the needle 1611 is located, the driving rod segment 162 can provide a hanging support for the broken protective film, so as to avoid the broken protective film from falling into the lower end of the delivery pipeline 15 due to piercing.

[0056] Specifically, the water inlet assembly of the embodiment includes a first water inlet pipeline 181 and a second water inlet pipeline 182. The first water inlet 1811 of the first water inlet pipeline 181 is in communication with the delivery pipeline 15. The water inlet end of the first water inlet pipeline 181 can be connected to normal temperature water. The second water inlet 1821 of the second water inlet pipeline 182 is in communication with the delivery pipeline 15. The water inlet end of the second water inlet pipeline 182 can be connected to heated water. The water inlets of the water inlet assembly of the embodiment include the first water inlet 1811 and the second water inlet 1821. The water inlet end of the first water inlet pipeline 181 can be in communication with a water supply faucet. A switch valve is arranged in the first water inlet pipeline 181 or a communication pipeline of the water supply faucet, so as to control the opening or closing of the first water inlet pipeline 181 to supply normal temperature water. The water inlet end of the second water inlet pipeline 182 can be in communication with a heated water device. A switch valve is arranged in the second water inlet pipeline 182 or the heated water device, so as to control the opening or closing of the second water inlet pipeline 182 to supply heated water. Alternatively, an electric heater can be arranged in the second water inlet pipeline 182 to heat the water in the second water inlet pipeline 182 to heated water. Preferably, the water temperature of the heated water is between 50°C and 60°C. In addition to the optimal water temperature range, the water-soluble protective film of the condensation beads can be completely and thoroughly dissolved and removed. Alternatively, the water inlet assembly is a water supply channel in which an electric heater is arranged. When normal temperature water is supplied, the electric heater is closed. When heated water is supplied, the electric heater is opened.

[0057] Further, the pipe wall of the dispensing pipe 15 is provided with the first sensor 17, which is located between the dispensing opening 152 and the piercing needle 16 and is used to detect the number of washing condensate beads entering the dispensing pipe 15, so as to accurately dispense an appropriate amount of washing condensate beads for the amount of clothes in the washing drum.

[0058] In order to improve the detection accuracy, the number of the first sensor 17 is at least two, and the plurality of first sensors 17 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the dispensing pipe 15, so that the plurality of first sensors 17 are counted only when they all detect the washing condensate beads, so as to avoid errors and affect the detection result. Preferably, the first sensor 17 is an infrared sensor, so as to non-contact detect the number of washing condensate beads entering the dispensing pipe 15, without hindering the flow in the dispensing pipe 15.

[0059] Preferably, the dispensing opening 152, the water inlet assembly, the first sensor 17 and the piercing needle 16 are arranged in sequence towards the lower end of the dispensing pipe 15, so that when the water inlet assembly supplies normal temperature water or heated water to the dispensing pipe 15, the normal temperature water or heated water can flush the detection surface of the first sensor 17, so as to avoid the detection surface of the first sensor 17 being contaminated and affecting the detection accuracy.

[0060] In combination Figures 4 to 10 , the washing condensate bead dispensing device 10 further comprises a storage box 11, a dispensing turntable 12, a rotation control mechanism, a dispensing moving plate 13, a dispensing control mechanism and a second sensor 14, the storage cavity 112 of the storage box 11 is used to place a plurality of washing condensate beads, the lower end of the storage box 11 is provided with a dispensing opening 111 in communication with the storage cavity 112, the dispensing turntable 12 is arranged at the lower end of the storage box 11 and penetrates the dispensing groove 121, the rotation control mechanism controls the rotation of the dispensing turntable 12, so that the dispensing groove 121 is in butt joint with the dispensing opening 111 or the dispensing groove 121 corresponds to the dispensing opening 152, the dispensing groove 121 can receive a washing condensate bead from the dispensing opening 111, and the dispensing moving plate 13 is located between the upper end 151 of the dispensing pipe 15 and the lower end of the dispensing turntable 12, the dispensing control mechanism controls the movement of the dispensing moving plate 13 to close or open the dispensing opening 152, and the second sensor 14 is arranged on the dispensing moving plate 13 and is used to detect whether there is a washing condensate bead in the dispensing groove 121 corresponding to the dispensing opening 152.

[0061] Therefore, the storage cavity 112 of the storage box 11 of the washing bead dispensing device 10 can place multiple washing beads, and the user does not need to manually dispense the washing beads every time the clothes are washed, thereby improving the user's experience. When it is necessary to dispense the washing beads for the dispensing pipe 15, the rotating control mechanism controls the rotation of the dispensing turntable 12, so that the dispensing groove slot 121 is in butt joint with the dispensing port 111 of the storage box 11. Then, the dispensing groove slot 121 can receive a washing bead from the dispensing port 111. Subsequently, the rotating control mechanism controls the rotation of the dispensing turntable 12, so that the dispensing groove slot 121 drives a washing bead to rotate to correspond to the dispensing inlet 152 of the dispensing pipe 15. At this time, the dispensing inlet 152 of the dispensing pipe 15 is in a closed state of the dispensing movable plate 13. When the second sensor 14 on the dispensing movable plate 13 detects that there is a washing bead in the dispensing groove slot 121 corresponding to the dispensing inlet 152, the dispensing control mechanism controls the dispensing movable plate 13 to move to open the dispensing inlet 152 of the dispensing pipe 15, so that the washing bead in the dispensing groove slot 121 corresponding to the dispensing inlet 152 is dispensed from the dispensing inlet 152 of the upper end 151 of the dispensing pipe 15 into the dispensing pipe 15. Therefore, the washing beads can be intelligently put one by one from the dispensing inlet 152 of the upper end 151 of the dispensing pipe 15 into the dispensing pipe 15, and the second sensor 14 can accurately count the dispensing amount of the washing beads dispensed from the dispensing inlet 152 of the upper end 151 of the dispensing pipe 15 into the dispensing pipe 15. Preferably, the second sensor 14 is an infrared sensor or a weight sensor.

[0062] In order to improve the dispensing efficiency of the washing beads, the number of the dispensing groove slots 121 is at least two, and the plurality of dispensing groove slots 121 are arranged in the rotation direction of the dispensing turntable 12.

[0063] Specifically, the lower end of the dispensing turntable 12 is concavely provided with a first shaft sleeve 126, and the upper end 151 of the dispensing pipe 15 is protrusively provided with a first support shaft 153. The first shaft sleeve 126 is rotatably sleeved on the first support shaft 153, so that the dispensing turntable 12 is stably and reliably rotationally supported on the upper end 151 of the dispensing pipe 15. Moreover, the upper end of the dispensing turntable 12 is protrusively provided with a second support shaft 122, and the lower end of the storage box 11 is concavely provided with a second shaft sleeve 113. The second support shaft 122 is rotatably inserted into the second shaft sleeve 113, so that the dispensing turntable 12 is stably and reliably rotationally supported on the lower end of the storage box 11.

[0064] The rotation control mechanism comprises a first motor 125, a driving gear 124 and a driven gear 123. The driven gear 123 is arranged on the outer periphery of the release rotary disc 12. The first shaft hole 1241 of the driving gear 124 is sleeved on the first driving shaft 1251 of the first motor 125 and is engaged with the driven gear 123. Thus, the first driving shaft 1251 of the first motor 125 drives the driving gear 124 to rotate, thereby synchronously driving the driven gear 123 engaged with the driving gear 124 to drive the release rotary disc 12 to rotate, so that the rotation of the release rotary disc 12 is stable and reliable. Specifically, the axis of the driving gear 124 is arranged perpendicularly to the axis of the driven gear 123, and the transmission ratio of the driving gear 124 to the driven gear 123 is 2:3.

[0065] In order to improve the synchronism of the rotation control, the peripheral wall of the first shaft hole 1241 is provided with a first limiting groove 1242, and the peripheral wall of the first driving shaft 1251 is provided with a first limiting strip 1252.

Subsequently, the rotation control mechanism controls the rotation of the delivery turntable 12, so that the delivery groove 121 drives a washing bead to rotate to the position corresponding to the delivery inlet 152 of the delivery pipeline 15. At this time, the delivery inlet 152 of the delivery pipeline 15 is in a closed state by the delivery moving plate 13. When the second sensor 14 on the delivery moving plate 13 detects that there is no washing bead in the delivery groove 121 corresponding to the delivery inlet 152, it means that the washing beads in the storage cavity 112 of the storage box 11 have been used up. Therefore, the user is reminded to add washing beads. When the second sensor 14 on the delivery moving plate 13 detects that there is a washing bead in the delivery groove 121 corresponding to the delivery inlet 152, the delivery control mechanism controls the movement of the delivery moving plate 13 to open the delivery inlet 152 of the delivery pipeline 15, so that the washing bead in the delivery groove 121 corresponding to the delivery inlet 152 is delivered into the delivery pipeline 15 from the delivery inlet 152 of the upper end 151 of the delivery pipeline 15. At this time, the rotation control mechanism controls the rotation of the piercing needle 16 so that the needle head 1611 of the piercing needle 16 faces upward. Therefore, the needle head 1611 of the upward piercing needle 16 can pierce the protective film of the washing bead delivered into the delivery pipeline 15. The pierced protective film of the washing bead is hung on the piercing needle 16, and the washing liquid in the washing bead can flow out of the piercing port of the protective film into the lower end of the delivery pipeline 15. At this time, the control valve 110 controls the communication between the delivery pipeline 15 and the liquid outlet pipeline 191. Therefore, the delivery pipeline 15 and the film outlet pipeline 192 are not in communication, so that the washing liquid in the lower end of the delivery pipeline 15 flows into the liquid outlet pipeline 191.

[0070] After the dispensing disc 12 and the dispensing moving plate 13 of the washing bead dispensing device 10 in this embodiment reciprocate to complete the dispensing of the required number of washing beads in the corresponding washing mode into the dispensing pipeline 15 one by one, the water inlet assembly is controlled to supply normal temperature water to the dispensing pipeline 15, the normal temperature water washes the washing liquid remaining on the protective film hung upward by the piercing needle 16, and washes the washing liquid in the dispensing pipeline 15 and the liquid outlet pipeline 191, so as to completely wash away the washing liquid on the protective film hung upward by the piercing needle 16, in the dispensing pipeline 15 and the liquid outlet pipeline 191, and flush into the washing drum of the washing equipment, so as to quickly flush the washing liquid of the washing beads into the washing drum, improve the utilization rate and cleaning efficiency of the washing liquid, at the same time, the normal temperature water has a certain water-soluble effect on the water-soluble protective film hung upward by the piercing needle 16, and the water-soluble protective film enters the washing drum with the normal temperature water and does not pollute the clothes in the washing drum, and the residual protective film which has not been water-soluble is still hung on the piercing needle 16. After the water inlet assembly supplies normal temperature water to the dispensing pipeline 15 for a predetermined time, the valve 110 controls the dispensing pipeline 15 to communicate with the film outlet pipeline 192, at this time, the dispensing pipeline 15 and the film outlet pipeline 192 are in a non-communication state, and the rotating control mechanism controls the piercing needle 16 to rotate so that the needle head 1611 of the piercing needle 16 faces downward, and controls the water inlet assembly to supply heated water to the dispensing pipeline 15, and the heated water washes the residual protective film on the piercing needle 16 to make it quickly and completely dissolved, and after completely dissolved, it is discharged from the washing equipment through the film outlet pipeline 192, so as to avoid the pollution of the water-soluble protective film to the clothes in the dispensing pipeline 15 and the washing drum.

[0071] After the washing bead dispensing of the washing bead dispensing device 10 in this embodiment is completed, the washing drum of the washing equipment performs a predetermined washing mode.

[0072] In summary, the washing bead dispensing device 10 in this embodiment can solve the problem that the washing bead dispensing is not intelligent enough, realize the control of the number of washing beads to be dispensed according to the weight of the clothes in the washing drum, so that the clothes use the appropriate number of washing beads, thereby avoiding waste, and the washing bead dispensing device 10 in this embodiment can solve the problem that the residual protective film of the washing bead pollutes the clothes in the dispensing pipeline 15 and the washing drum, and the washing bead dispensing device 10 in this embodiment can solve the inconvenience problem that the user needs to dispense the washing beads every time.

[0073] Therefore, the washing bead dispensing device 10 in this embodiment can completely dissolve and remove the water-soluble protective film of the washing bead, so as to avoid the pollution of the residual protective film to the clothes in the dispensing pipeline 15 and the washing drum, thereby improving the cleaning effect of washing, and can quickly flush the washing liquid of the washing bead into the washing drum, thereby improving the utilization rate and cleaning efficiency of the washing liquid, and the user does not need to manually dispense the washing bead every time when washing clothes, thereby improving the user experience.
