The upper end 151 of the delivery pipeline 15 is provided with a delivery inlet 152. The rotating mechanism controls the rotation of the delivery disc 12, so that the delivery slot 121 is in butt joint with the delivery outlet 111 or the delivery slot 121 corresponds to the delivery inlet 152. The delivery slot 121 can receive a washing condensation bead from the delivery outlet 111.

[0049] In addition, the washing condensation bead delivery device 10 further comprises a first detector 114, a second detector 155, a refrigerating fin 156 and a water inlet assembly.

[0050] In the washing process, the rotating mechanism controls the rotation of the dispensing disc 12, so that the dispensing groove 121 is in alignment with the dispensing opening 111 of the storage box 11, and then the rotating mechanism controls the rotation of the dispensing disc 12, so that the dispensing groove 121 drives a washing bead to rotate to the position corresponding to the dispensing opening 152 of the dispensing pipeline 15, and then the washing bead in the dispensing groove 121 corresponding to the dispensing opening 152 is dispensed into the dispensing pipeline 15 from the dispensing opening 152 of the upper end 151 of the dispensing pipeline 15, so that the washing beads are automatically and intelligently dispensed one by one into the dispensing pipeline 15 from the dispensing opening 152 of the upper end 151 of the dispensing pipeline 15, and the water inlet assembly supplies normal temperature water or heated water to the dispensing pipeline 15 to mix with the washing beads in the dispensing pipeline 15 and then flush into the washing drum of the washing machine. Since the storage cavity 112 of the storage box 11 of the washing bead dispensing device 10 of the embodiment can store a plurality of washing beads, the rotating mechanism controls the rotation of the dispensing disc 12 to dispense the washing beads stored in the storage cavity 112 one by one into the dispensing pipeline 15, so that the user does not need to manually dispense the washing beads every time the clothes are washed, the purpose of automatic dispensing of the washing beads is achieved, and the user's experience is improved.

[0051] In the process of washing clothes, the first detector 114 of the washing bead dispensing device 10 of the embodiment can detect the first real-time temperature and / or the first real-time humidity in the storage cavity 112 in real time and / or the second real-time humidity , and the second detector 155 can detect the second real-time temperature and / or the second real-time humidity in the dispensing pipeline 15 in real time , and the second real-time humidity , and the first real-time temperature and / or the first real-time humidity Real-time determine whether the hot air in the delivery pipe 15 exists the possibility of entering the storage cavity 112 of the washing condensation beads, once determined that the hot air in the delivery pipe 15 exists the possibility of rising into the storage cavity 112 of the washing condensation beads, control the refrigeration fin 156 to open the refrigeration operation, to the rising hot air in the delivery pipe 15 refrigeration, so that the moisture in the hot air condenses into condensate and flows along the delivery pipe 15, can eliminate the hot air in the delivery pipe 15 into the storage cavity 112 of the washing condensation beads, so as to avoid the washing condensation beads in the storage cavity 112 appear wet adhesion phenomenon, and then improve the rapidity and reliability of the automatic delivery of washing condensation beads.

[0052] Therefore, the washing condensation bead delivery device 10 of the embodiment can not only automatically deliver washing condensation beads, but also can eliminate the hot air into the storage cavity 112 of the washing condensation beads, so as to avoid the washing condensation beads in the storage cavity 112 appear wet adhesion phenomenon, and then improve the rapidity and reliability of the automatic delivery of washing condensation beads.

[0053] Specifically, the refrigeration fin 156 of the embodiment is a semiconductor refrigeration fin, also called thermoelectric refrigeration fin (TEC), which is a thermal management element made of semiconductor material Peltier effect, occupies small space, high refrigeration reliability, and no refrigerant pollution.

[0054] In combination Figures 4 to 11 , the washing condensation bead delivery device 10 of the embodiment further includes a delivery plate 13, a delivery mechanism and a first sensor 14, the delivery plate 13 is located between the upper end 151 of the delivery pipe 15 and the lower end of the delivery disc 12, the delivery mechanism controls the delivery plate 13 to move to close or open the delivery port 152, and the first sensor 14 is arranged on the delivery plate 13 and used to detect whether there is washing condensation bead in the delivery grid slot 121 corresponding to the delivery port 152.

[0055] Therefore, the storage cavity 112 of the storage box 11 of the washing bead dispensing device 10 can store 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 experience. When it is necessary to dispense the washing beads into the dispensing pipe 15, the rotating mechanism controls the rotation of the dispensing disc 12, so that the dispensing groove 121 is in butt joint with the dispensing port 111 of the storage box 11. Then, the dispensing groove 121 can receive a washing bead from the dispensing port 111. Subsequently, the rotating mechanism controls the rotation of the dispensing disc 12, so that the dispensing groove 121 drives a washing bead to rotate to correspond to the dispensing port 152 of the dispensing pipe 15. At this time, the dispensing port 152 of the dispensing pipe 15 is in a closed state of the dispensing plate 13. When the first sensor 14 on the dispensing plate 13 detects that there is a washing bead in the dispensing groove 121 corresponding to the dispensing port 152, the dispensing mechanism controls the dispensing plate 13 to move to open the dispensing port 152 of the dispensing pipe 15, so that the washing bead in the dispensing groove 121 corresponding to the dispensing port 152 is dispensed from the dispensing port 152 of the upper end 151 of the dispensing pipe 15 into the dispensing pipe 15. Therefore, the washing beads can be intelligently dispensed one by one from the dispensing port 152 of the upper end 151 of the dispensing pipe 15 into the dispensing pipe 15, and the first sensor 14 can accurately count the dispensing amount of the washing beads dispensed from the dispensing port 152 of the upper end 151 of the dispensing pipe 15 into the dispensing pipe 15.

The driven rack 131 is arranged on the release plate 13 and extends in the moving direction of the release plate 13. The first shaft hole 1321 of the driving gear 132 is sleeved on the first driving shaft 1331 of the first motor 133 and is engaged with the driven rack 131. Thus, the first driving shaft 1331 of the first motor 133 drives the driving gear 132 to rotate, thereby synchronously driving the driven rack 131 engaged with the driving gear 132 to drive the release plate 13 to move, so that the movement of the release plate 13 is stable and reliable.

[0060] Moreover, the rotating mechanism includes a second motor 125, a driving gear 124, and a driven gear 123. The driven gear 123 is arranged on the outer periphery of the release disc 12. The second shaft hole 1241 of the driving gear 124 is sleeved on the second driving shaft 1251 of the second motor 125 and is engaged with the driven gear 123. Thus, the second driving shaft 1251 of the second 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 disc 12 to rotate, so that the rotation of the release 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.

[0061] To improve the synchronism of the rotation control, the peripheral wall of the second shaft hole 1241 is provided with a third limiting groove 1242, and the peripheral wall of the second driving shaft 1251 is provided with a third limiting strip 1252, which is located in the third limiting groove 1242. Alternatively, the peripheral wall of the second shaft hole 1241 is provided with a fourth limiting strip, and the peripheral wall of the second driving shaft 1251 is provided with a fourth limiting groove, and the fourth limiting strip is located in the fourth limiting groove.

[0062] In order to further improve the moving stability and reliability of the delivery plate 13, the upper end 151 of the delivery pipeline 15 is provided with a first guide groove 154 extending in the moving direction of the delivery plate 13, and the lower end of the delivery plate 13 is provided with a first positioning strip 134 which is slidably arranged in the first guide groove 154; or, the upper end 151 of the delivery pipeline 15 is provided with a second positioning strip extending in the moving direction of the delivery plate 13, and the delivery plate 13 is provided with a second guide groove which is slidably arranged on the second positioning strip.

[0063] In combination with Figure 12 and Figure 13 , the washing bead delivery device 10 further comprises a piercing needle 16, the lower end of the delivery pipeline 15 is communicated with a liquid outlet pipeline 191 and a film outlet pipeline 192, and the lower end of the delivery pipeline 15 is provided with a control valve 110 which controls the communication between the delivery pipeline 15 and the liquid outlet pipeline 191 or the communication between the delivery pipeline 15 and the film outlet pipeline 192, the piercing needle 16 is arranged in the delivery pipeline 15 below the delivery port 152 and the water inlet, and the needle head 1611 of the piercing needle 16 is upwardly arranged. In the embodiment, the liquid outlet of the liquid outlet pipeline 191 is communicated with the washing cylinder of the washing equipment, the discharge port of the film outlet pipeline 192 extends outside the washing equipment, and the control valve 110 is a three-way valve, which can alternatively comprise two one-way valves, one of which is arranged in the liquid outlet pipeline 191 and the other of which is arranged in the film outlet pipeline 192.

[0064] During the delivery of the washing beads by the washing bead delivery device 10, the washing beads are put one by one into the delivery pipeline 15 from the delivery port 152 of the upper end 151 of the delivery pipeline 15, and the needle head 1611 of the piercing needle 16 is upwardly arranged, so that the needle head 1611 of the upwardly arranged piercing needle 16 can pierce the protective film of the washing bead put 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 pierced protective film into the lower end of the delivery pipeline 15, and at this time, the control valve 110 controls the communication between the delivery pipeline 15 and the liquid outlet pipeline 191, so that the delivery pipeline 15 and the film outlet pipeline 192 are not in communication, and thus the washing liquid in the lower end of the delivery pipeline 15 flows into the liquid outlet pipeline 191.

[0065] 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 supply assembly is controlled to supply normal temperature water to the delivery pipeline 15, and the normal temperature water washes the residual washing liquid on the protective film hanging upward of the piercing needle 16, and washes the washing liquid in the delivery pipeline 15 and the liquid outlet pipeline 191, so as to completely wash away the washing liquid on the protective film hanging upward of 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 hanging upward of 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 still hangs on the piercing needle 16.

[0066] When the water supply 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 non-communication state, and the water supply assembly is controlled to supply heated water to the delivery 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 delivery pipeline 15 and the washing drum.

[0067] Therefore, the washing condensation bead delivery device 10 of the embodiment can also 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.

[0068] In order to quickly wash 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 supply 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, and when the water supply 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 hanging on the piercing needle 16, so as to quickly and completely remove the residual protective film by the heated water.

[0069] 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.

[0070] 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 pipeline 181 is connected with the delivery pipeline 15 at a first water inlet opening 1811, and the water inlet end of the first water inlet pipeline 181 can be connected 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 for supplying normal temperature water. The second water inlet pipeline 182 is connected with the delivery pipeline 15 at a second water inlet opening 1821, and the water inlet end of the second water inlet pipeline 182 can be connected 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 for supplying 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, which is the best water temperature range, and can completely and thoroughly dissolve and remove the water-soluble protective film of the condensation beads.

[0071] Further, the pipe wall of the delivery pipeline 15 of the embodiment is provided with a second sensor 17. The second sensor 17 is located between the delivery inlet 152 and the piercing needle 16 and is used to detect the number of condensation beads entering the delivery pipeline 15, so as to accurately deliver an appropriate amount of condensation beads for the amount of clothes in the washing drum.

[0072] In order to improve the detection accuracy, the number of the second sensors 17 is at least two, and the plurality of second sensors 17 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the delivery pipe 15, so that the plurality of second sensors 17 count only when the washing condensate beads are detected, so as to avoid errors and cause the detection result to be wrong. Preferably, the second sensor 17 is an infrared sensor, so as to non-contact detect the number of the washing condensate beads entering the delivery pipe 15, and will not cause the flow in the delivery pipe 15 to be hindered.

[0073] Preferably, the second sensor 17 and the piercing needle 16 are arranged in the delivery pipe 15 in sequence from the lower end of the delivery pipe 15, so that when the water supply assembly supplies normal temperature water or heated water to the delivery pipe 15, the normal temperature water or the heated water can flush the detection surface of the second sensor 17, so as to avoid the detection surface of the second sensor 17 being polluted and affecting the detection accuracy.

[0074] The washing equipment provided with the washing condensing bead dispensing device 10 of the embodiment in the washing work process, the user selects the specific washing mode of the washing equipment, and the rotation of the washing drum is obtained. The weight of the clothes in the washing drum is obtained, and the corresponding dispensing amount of the washing condensing bead is obtained. Then the rotating mechanism of the washing condensing bead dispensing device 10 of the embodiment controls the rotation of the dispensing disc 12, so that the dispensing groove slot 121 is in butt joint with the dispensing outlet 111 of the storage box 11. Then the dispensing groove slot 121 can receive a washing condensing bead from the dispensing outlet 111. Subsequently, the rotating mechanism controls the rotation of the dispensing disc 12, so that the dispensing groove slot 121 drives a washing condensing bead to rotate to correspond to the dispensing inlet 152 of the dispensing pipeline 15. At this time, the dispensing inlet 152 of the dispensing pipeline 15 is in the closed state of the dispensing plate 13. When the first sensor 14 on the dispensing plate 13 detects that there is a washing condensing bead in the dispensing groove slot 121 corresponding to the dispensing inlet 152, once the first sensor 14 detects that there is no washing condensing bead in the dispensing groove slot 121 corresponding to the dispensing inlet 152, it means that the washing condensing bead in the storage cavity 112 of the storage box 11 has been used up. The user is reminded to add the washing condensing bead, so that when the first sensor 14 on the dispensing plate 13 detects that there is a washing condensing bead in the dispensing groove slot 121 corresponding to the dispensing inlet 152, the dispensing mechanism controls the dispensing plate 13 to move to open the dispensing inlet 152 of the dispensing pipeline 15, so that a washing condensing bead in the dispensing groove slot 121 corresponding to the dispensing inlet 152 is dispensed into the dispensing pipeline 15 from the dispensing inlet 152 of the upper end 151 of the dispensing pipeline 15. At this time, the rotating control mechanism controls the rotation of the piercing needle 16 to make the needle head 1611 of the piercing needle 16 upward, so that the upward needle head 1611 of the piercing needle 16 can pierce the protective film of the washing condensing bead dispensed into the dispensing pipeline 15. The protective film of the pierced washing condensing bead is hung on the piercing needle 16, and the washing liquid in the washing condensing bead can flow out from the piercing hole of the protective film into the lower end of the dispensing pipeline 15. 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. Therefore, the washing liquid in the lower end of the dispensing pipeline 15 flows into the liquid outlet pipeline 191.

[0075] The dispensing disc 12 and the dispensing plate 13 of the washing bead dispensing device 10 reciprocate to complete the dispensing of the washing beads required in the corresponding washing mode into the dispensing pipeline 15 one by one, then the water inlet assembly supplies 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 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, thereby quickly flushing the washing liquid of the washing beads into the washing drum, improving 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 does not pollute the clothes in the washing drum when entering the washing drum with the normal temperature water. The residual protective film that has not been water-soluble is still hung on the piercing needle 16. When 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. The heated water washes the residual protective film on the piercing needle 16 to make it quickly and completely dissolved, and then 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.

[0076] After the washing bead dispensing of the washing bead dispensing device 10 in the embodiment is completed, the washing drum of the washing equipment performs a preset washing mode. During the washing process of the clothes, the first detector 114 of the washing bead dispensing device 10 in the embodiment can detect the first real-time temperature and the first real-time humidity in the storage cavity 112 in real time, and the second detector 155 can detect the second real-time temperature and the second real-time humidity in the dispensing pipeline 15 in real time. Since the second detector 155 in the embodiment is arranged in the dispensing pipeline 15 and located above the water inlet port of the water inlet assembly connected to the dispensing pipeline 15, the second detector 155 actually detects the second real-time temperature and the second real-time humidity of the air flowing back to the storage cavity 112 in the dispensing pipeline 15. For example, during the process that the water inlet assembly supplies heated water to the dispensing pipeline 15, or during the process that the washing equipment performs a high-temperature sterilization washing mode, a high-temperature drying mode, a high-temperature drum self-cleaning mode or other high-temperature washing modes, the second real-time temperature , the second real-time humidity , the first real-time temperature and the first real-time humidity Real-time determination is made as to whether there is a possibility of hot air in the delivery pipe 15 entering the storage cavity 112 of the washing condensate beads. Once it is determined that there is a possibility of hot air in the delivery pipe 15 rising into the storage cavity 112 of the washing condensate beads, the refrigeration fin 156 is controlled to start refrigeration operation to refrigerate the rising hot air in the delivery pipe 15, so that the moisture in the hot air condenses into condensate water and flows away along the delivery pipe 15, which can prevent the hot air in the delivery pipe 15 from entering the storage cavity 112 of the washing condensate beads, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of wet adhesion of the washing condensate beads in the storage cavity 112, and further improving the rapidity and reliability of automatic delivery of the washing condensate beads.

[0077] In summary, the washing condensate bead delivery device 10 of the present embodiment can solve the problem of insufficient intelligence in the delivery of washing condensate beads, and can control the number of washing condensate beads delivered according to the weight of the clothes in the washing drum, so that the clothes use an appropriate number of washing condensate beads, thereby avoiding waste.

[0078] Therefore, the washing condensate bead delivery device 10 of the present embodiment not only can automatically deliver washing condensate beads, but also can prevent hot air in the delivery pipe 15 from entering the storage cavity 112 of the washing condensate beads, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of wet adhesion of the washing condensate beads in the storage cavity 112, and further improving the rapidity and reliability of automatic delivery of the washing condensate beads. In addition, the washing condensate bead delivery device 10 of the present embodiment can also completely dissolve and remove the water-soluble protective film of the washing condensate beads, so as to avoid pollution of the clothes in the delivery pipe 15 and the washing drum by the residual protective film, thereby improving the cleaning effect of washing, and the washing liquid of the washing condensate beads can be quickly flushed into the washing drum, thereby improving the utilization rate and cleaning efficiency of the washing liquid, and the user does not need to manually deliver the washing condensate beads every time, thereby improving the user experience.
