Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of washing machine technology, and more specifically to a washing machine that intelligently dispenses laundry detergent. Background Technology

[0002] Most household washing machines are equipped with independent feed boxes, which are divided into detergent dispensers, liquid detergent dispensers, and fabric softener dispensers. Each chamber has a fixed capacity preset at the factory, and the washing materials are supplied in a quantitative manner by manual addition or basic intelligent dispensing.

[0003] The existing detergent dispensers have fixed capacities for both the detergent and fabric softener compartments, which cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the actual needs of users. Some users do not need to use fabric softener due to washing habits, clothing materials, or other factors, resulting in the fabric softener compartment remaining idle for a long time and wasting the internal space of the dispenser. On the other hand, for users who wash clothes frequently, such as multi-person households or short-term rental users, the demand for detergent is large, and the fixed capacity detergent compartment cannot meet the needs of storing large quantities at a time. Users need to frequently open the dispenser to refill the detergent, which is cumbersome and repetitive.

[0004] Meanwhile, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, and other washing materials have a certain degree of viscosity, which easily adheres to the inner wall and bottom of the tub during the dispensing process. After long-term use, these residues will combine with impurities in the water to form deposits, requiring users to manually disassemble the dispensing box regularly for deep cleaning, increasing the difficulty and frequency of maintenance. More importantly, when users change to different types or ingredients of washing materials, such as from ordinary laundry detergent to antibacterial laundry detergent, or from acidic fabric softener to neutral conditioner, the old materials remaining in the tub will mix extensively with the newly added materials. This may lead to interactions between different material components, reducing the washing or conditioning effect, and may even produce substances harmful to clothing fabrics, affecting the safety of use. Therefore, a washing machine with intelligent dispensing of laundry materials is proposed, which can flexibly adjust the tub capacity to avoid idle waste, facilitate tub cleaning, reduce the frequency of manual cleaning, avoid extensive mixing of different materials, and improve washing effect and hygiene. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems in the prior art, this invention provides a washing machine with intelligent dispensing of laundry materials. The capacity of the tub can be flexibly adjusted to avoid idle waste, while also facilitating tub cleaning, reducing the frequency of manual cleaning, preventing large-area mixing of different materials, and improving washing effect and hygiene.

The housing is divided into a first tank and a second tank by the partition. An adjustment structure for driving the partition to move horizontally is provided on one side of the housing. Elastic cleaning components adapted to the first tank and the second tank are respectively provided on both sides of the partition. A driving structure for driving the elastic cleaning components to move is provided at the end of the housing away from the pull plate.

[0007] Specifically, the adjustment structure includes a slide block connected to one side of the partition plate near the pull plate, a horizontal slide groove slidably connected to the slide block on the inner wall of the housing, a screw rod arranged along the direction of the slide groove in the slide groove, the screw rod passing through the slide block and threadedly connected to the slide block, one end of the screw rod being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove, and the other end of the screw rod passing through the slide groove and being fixedly connected to an adjustment knob.

[0008] Specifically, the elastic cleaning component includes a slide rod horizontally arranged above the partition, with limit blocks fixedly connected to both ends of the slide rod, and a limit groove adapted to the limit block provided on the inner wall of the housing, with the limit block located in the limit groove and slidably connected to the limit groove;

[0009] The lower surface of the slide rod is provided with a first elastic folding airbag corresponding to the first groove and a second elastic folding airbag corresponding to the second groove. The first elastic folding airbag and the second elastic folding airbag are connected by a passage. The sides of the first elastic folding airbag and the second elastic folding airbag that are far apart are connected to a first adjusting plate, and the sides of the first elastic folding airbag and the second elastic folding airbag that are close together are connected to a second adjusting plate. The upper ends of the first adjusting plate and the second adjusting plate are slidably connected to the slide rod. The inner side of the housing is provided with a first moving groove. The side of the first adjusting plate is fixedly connected to a first moving block that is slidably connected to the first moving groove. The side of the partition is provided with a second moving groove. The side of the second adjusting plate is fixedly connected to a second moving block that is slidably connected to the second moving groove.

[0010] Specifically, the drive structure includes a pull rod fixedly connected to one side of the slide rod. One end of the pull rod passes through the housing and is fixedly connected to an elastic compression seat. A compression spring is provided on the outside of the pull rod, and the two ends of the compression spring are fixedly connected to the slide rod and the housing, respectively.

[0011] Specifically, the housing has a slot on the side away from the pull plate, and a block is provided in the slot. One end of the block is fixedly connected to the side of the elastic compression seat.

[0012] Specifically, both the first and second tanks are provided with discharge troughs. The discharge troughs are located on the inner bottom of the end of the housing away from the pull plate. The inner side of each discharge trough is chamfered. The bottom of each discharge trough is connected to an L-shaped liquid outlet pipe. Each liquid outlet pipe is provided with a press valve. The inner bottom of the housing is provided with a sealing structure for sealing the corresponding discharge trough.

[0013] Specifically, the enclosed structure includes a sliding groove located at the bottom of the inner side of the housing, two sets of discharge grooves located within the sliding groove, a sliding plate sealed and slidably connected within the sliding groove, and stops fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the sliding plate.

[0014] Specifically, the upper surface of the housing is detachably connected to a cover plate, the cover plate is provided with a first feeding port communicating with the first tank and a second feeding port communicating with the second tank, and sealing flaps are hinged inside the first feeding port and the second feeding port.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0016] (1) The washing machine for intelligent dispensing of laundry materials described in this invention can adjust the structure to drive the partition to move horizontally, and can freely allocate the capacity ratio of the first tub and the second tub according to the washing needs. When fabric softener is not needed, the second tub can be reduced or even closed. In high-frequency washing scenarios such as multi-person households, the capacity of the first tub can be expanded to meet the needs of large-scale storage at one time, reduce the tedious operation of frequently replenishing materials, and greatly improve the space utilization and adaptability of the dispensing component.

[0017] (2) In the intelligent washing machine for dispensing laundry materials described in this invention, during the process of the dispensing component being pulled out, the drive structure automatically drives the elastic cleaning component to move along the tub. Through the coordinated scraping of the first elastic folding airbag, the second elastic folding airbag and the adjustment plate, the sticky residual materials on the inner wall and bottom of the tub are removed simultaneously. Moreover, the airbags achieve dynamic volume complementarity through the passage, which can automatically adapt to the adjusted space of the first tub and the second tub, always maintaining a close cleaning state, avoiding the accumulation and deterioration of residual materials, eliminating the need for frequent manual disassembly for deep cleaning, and reducing user maintenance costs.

[0018] (3) The washing machine with intelligent dispensing of laundry materials described in this invention collects residual materials after cleaning by beveled guide in the discharge trough. With the opening design of the press valve, the residual materials are consumed first in the next wash. At the same time, when the partition moves, it drives the closed structure to close the discharge trough of the idle tank, preventing the residual materials from being accidentally dispensed and flowing back, thus improving the safety and reliability of use.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0034] To flexibly adjust the tank capacity, avoid idle waste, facilitate tank cleaning, reduce the frequency of manual cleaning, prevent large-area mixing of different materials, and improve washing effect and hygiene, as one embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 As shown, the present invention discloses an intelligent washing machine for dispensing laundry detergent, comprising a washing machine body 1, a dispensing component detachably connected inside the washing machine body 1, the dispensing component including a pull plate 2, a storage tank 3 for storing laundry detergent fixedly connected to one side of the pull plate 2, a housing 4 with an upward opening on one side of the storage tank 3, one end of the housing 4 being fixedly connected to the pull plate 2, a vertically arranged partition 5 inside the housing 4, the housing 4 being divided into a first tank 6 and a second tank 7 by the partition 5, an adjustment structure for driving the partition 5 to move horizontally on one side of the housing 4, elastic cleaning components adapted to the first tank 6 and the second tank 7 respectively on both sides of the partition 5, and a driving structure for driving the elastic cleaning components to move at the end of the housing 4 away from the pull plate 2.

[0035] When in use, the capacity ratio of the first tank 6 and the second tank 7 can be allocated by adjusting the structural partition 5 to move horizontally according to the actual type of washing materials. When fabric softener is not needed, the partition 5 can be moved to the side of the second tank 7 to reduce or even close the space of the second tank 7 to avoid idle waste. In scenarios with large washing needs, such as multi-person households, the corresponding tank capacity can be expanded to meet the needs of storing a large amount of materials at one time and reduce the tedious operation of frequently replenishing materials.

[0036] During the movement of the partition 5, the elastic cleaning component will follow the movement synchronously and automatically adapt to the adjusted tank space to ensure that the cleaning component always remains in contact with the bottom of the first tank 6 or the second tank 7, which facilitates subsequent cleaning and avoids the long-term adhesion of sticky materials to form accumulations.

[0037] Pull out the feeding component via the pull plate 2, completely separating the pull plate 2 from the main body 1 of the washing machine. During the extraction process, the drive structure drives the elastic cleaning component to move along the length of the tub. The elastic cleaning component scrapes the small amount of material remaining on the inner wall of the tub to one side of the tub. After cleaning, the small amount of remaining material will be concentrated in a specific area of ​​the tub, which can be consumed first during the next use, avoiding direct large-area mixing of newly added material and old material, and avoiding the problem of different components interacting and causing a decrease in washing effect and damage to clothing fabrics. At the same time, there is no need to frequently manually disassemble and clean the feeding component, reducing maintenance difficulty and improving hygiene.

[0038] It should be noted that the first tank 6 described in this invention is a laundry detergent storage tank, while the second tank 7 is a fabric softener storage tank.

[0039] To facilitate the movement of the drive partition 5, for example, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also includes the following: the adjustment structure includes a slide block 8 connected to one side of the partition 5 near the pull plate 2; the inner wall of the housing 4 is provided with a horizontal slide groove 9 that is slidably connected to the slide block 8; a screw 10 is provided in the slide groove 9 along the direction of the slide groove 9; the screw 10 passes through the slide block 8 and is threadedly connected to the slide block 8; one end of the screw 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 9; and the other end of the screw 10 passes through the slide groove 9 and is fixedly connected to an adjustment knob 11.

[0040] When in use, when it is necessary to adjust the capacity ratio of the first tank 6 and the second tank 7, turn the adjustment knob 11 to drive the screw 10 to rotate synchronously, the slide 8 moves along the slide groove 9 and drives the partition 5 to move synchronously, so as to realize the capacity control of the first tank 6 and the second tank 7 to adapt to different washing needs. For example, when fabric softener is not needed, the second tank 7 can be reduced, and the first tank 6 can be enlarged for families with many people, so as to solve the problem of space waste or insufficient storage caused by fixed capacity.

[0041] The slide 9 limits the slide block 8 to prevent offset or jamming during adjustment, improves the smoothness of operation, and reduces the difficulty of adjustment; the knob provides a force application point, making operation easier, reducing the tedious process of frequent material replenishment, and improving the convenience of use.

[0042] To ensure simultaneous cleaning of the bottom and inner walls, for example, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12As shown, the present invention also includes the following: the elastic cleaning component includes a slide rod 12 horizontally disposed above the partition 5, the two ends of the slide rod 12 are fixedly connected to limit blocks 13, the inner wall of the housing 4 is provided with a limit groove 14 adapted to the limit block 13, the limit block 13 is located in the limit groove 14 and is slidably connected to the limit groove 14.

[0043] The lower surface of the slide rod 12 is provided with a first elastic folding airbag 15 corresponding to the first groove 6 and a second elastic folding airbag 16 corresponding to the second groove 7. The first elastic folding airbag 15 and the second elastic folding airbag 16 are connected by a passage. The sides of the first elastic folding airbag 15 and the second elastic folding airbag 16 that are far apart are connected to a first adjusting plate 17, and the sides of the first elastic folding airbag 15 and the second elastic folding airbag 16 that are close together are connected to a second adjusting plate 18. The upper ends of the first adjusting plate 17 and the second adjusting plate 18 are slidably connected to the slide rod 12. The inner side of the housing 4 is provided with a first moving groove 19. The side of the first adjusting plate 17 is fixedly connected to a first moving block 20 that is slidably connected to the first moving groove 19. The side of the partition 5 is provided with a second moving groove 21. The side of the second adjusting plate 18 is fixedly connected to a second moving block 22 that is slidably connected to the second moving groove 21.

[0044] When in use, when it is necessary to expand the first tank 6 and shrink the second tank 7, the drive partition 5 moves toward the second tank 7 side, pushing the second adjustment plate 18 to compress the second elastic folding airbag 16. The gas in the second elastic folding airbag 16 is delivered to the first elastic folding airbag 15 and causes the first elastic folding airbag 15 to extend, realizing the dynamic complementarity of the volumes of the first elastic folding airbag 15 and the second elastic folding airbag 16, automatically adapting to the adjusted tank space, and ensuring that the cleaning component always fits the inner wall and bottom of the tank.

[0045] When it is necessary to change different types of detergents or clean the tub regularly, the feeding component is pulled out. During the process of the pull plate 2 separating from the main body 1 of the washing machine, the drive structure drives the slide rod 12 to move along the length of the shell 4. The limiting block 13 and the limiting groove 14 cooperate to provide stable horizontal guidance. When the slide rod 12 moves, it drives the first elastic folding airbag 15 and the second elastic folding airbag 16 to move. The lower surfaces of the first elastic folding airbag 15 and the second elastic folding airbag 16 are always in contact with the bottom of the corresponding first tub 6 or second tub 7. The sticky material remaining at the bottom of the tub is removed by moving and scraping. At the same time, the two sets of first adjusting plates 17 and second adjusting plates 18 are respectively in contact with the inner walls of the first tub 6 and the second tub 7. When they move, they scrape the inner wall of the tub thoroughly, realizing the simultaneous cleaning of the bottom and the inner wall, avoiding the accumulation of residual material and reducing the frequency of manual deep cleaning.

[0046] The sliding engagement between the first moving block 20 and the first moving groove 19, and the sliding engagement between the second moving block 22 and the second moving groove 21, ensure that the first elastic folding airbag 15 and the second elastic folding airbag 16 are subjected to balanced forces during movement. At the same time, it removes residual materials in the groove, effectively avoiding the potential problems of reduced washing effect and damage to clothing fabrics caused by large-area mixing of new and old materials, and significantly improving hygiene and washing reliability.

[0047] To facilitate the movement of the slide bar 12, for example, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 As shown, the present invention also includes a drive structure comprising a pull rod 23 fixedly connected to one side of the slide rod 12. One end of the pull rod 23 passes through the housing 4 and is fixedly connected to an elastic compression seat 24. A compression spring 25 is provided on the outside of the pull rod 23. The two ends of the compression spring 25 are fixedly connected to the slide rod 12 and the housing 4, respectively.

[0048] When in use, during the assembly of the feeding component, the elastic compression seat 24 abuts against the inner wall of the feeding trough of the washing machine body 1, the compression spring 25 is in a compressed energy storage state, and the slide rod 12 is held in the initial position near the end of the housing 4 away from the pull plate 2.

[0049] When it is necessary to change the washing materials or clean the tub regularly, pull the pull plate 2 to gradually separate the feeding component from the main body of the washing machine 1. The squeezing force on the elastic squeezing seat 24 gradually disappears, the squeezing spring 25 releases elastic potential energy, and drives the pull rod 23 and the slide rod 12 to move. The limiting block 13 and the limiting groove 14 slide to ensure that the first elastic folding airbag 15 and the second elastic folding airbag 16 can be stably attached to the bottom of the tub, and the first adjusting plate 17 and the second adjusting plate 18 can be tightly attached to the inner wall of the tub for scraping, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0050] After the feeding component is fully pulled out, the slide bar 12 moves to the limit position under the push of the compression spring 25. At this time, the inner wall and bottom of the tank are completely scraped, and the residual material is concentrated in a specific area, effectively avoiding large-scale mixing of new and old materials. New washing materials can be added to the corresponding first tank 6 and second tank 7.

[0051] During the process of inserting the feeding component into the main body 1 of the washing machine, the elastic squeezing seat 24 first contacts the inner wall of the feeding trough and generates squeezing force, which pushes the elastic squeezing seat 24 and the pull rod 23 to move synchronously and compresses the squeezing spring 25 to store energy. At the same time, the slide rod 12 returns to the initial position along the limiting groove 14, and the slide rod 12 drives the first elastic folding airbag 15, the second elastic folding airbag 16 and the two sets of adjustment plates to move synchronously.

[0052] When the slide bar 12 moves to reset, the first elastic folding airbag 15 and the second elastic folding airbag 16 exert a squeezing force on the newly added liquid material in the tank. The liquid material can pass over the upper surface of the airbag. When the feeding component is installed in place, the compression spring 25 is in a stable compressed state, and the slide bar 12 returns to its initial position.

[0053] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also includes a slot 26 on the side of the housing 4 away from the pull plate 2, a block 27 in the slot 26, and one end of the block 27 being fixedly connected to the side of the elastic compression seat 24.

[0054] When the feeding component is inserted, the locking block 27 and the elastic squeezing seat 24 fit together against the inner wall of the feeding groove, increasing the squeezing area and making the force more even, thus avoiding local wear of the elastic squeezing seat 24. After installation, the locking block 27 is inserted into the locking slot 26, making the lock more secure and preventing the parts from shifting due to vibration when the washing machine is working.

[0055] To ensure washing effectiveness and clothing safety, for example, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, the present invention also includes a discharge trough 28 provided in both the first tank 6 and the second tank 7. The discharge trough 28 is located at the bottom inner side of the end of the housing 4 away from the pull plate 2. The inner side of the discharge trough 28 is chamfered. The bottom of the discharge trough 28 is connected to an L-shaped liquid outlet pipe 29. The liquid outlet pipe 29 is provided with a press valve. The bottom inner side of the housing 4 is provided with a sealing structure for sealing the corresponding discharge trough 28.

[0056] When in use, when the feeding component is pulled out, the drive structure moves the slide bar 12 and the first elastic folding airbag 15, the second elastic folding airbag 16, the first adjusting plate 17, and the second adjusting plate 18 to scrape the residual liquid on the inner wall and bottom of the tank. The chamfered structure on the inner side of the discharge trough 28 forms a guide channel, so that the scraped residual liquid can smoothly converge into the discharge trough 28, avoiding the residual liquid from adhering to the corners of the tank and being difficult to clean, thus improving the collection efficiency of residual materials.

[0057] After new washing material is added to the corresponding first tank 6 or second tank 7, during the insertion of the feeding component, the new material will cross the upper surface of the airbag and come into partial contact with the residual liquid concentrated in the discharge tank 28, reducing the mixing range of the new and old materials and reducing the degree to which the washing effect is affected.

[0058] After the feeding components are fully installed, the press valve remains closed, and the residual liquid in the discharge tank 28 is stably stored to prevent the residual liquid from flowing freely and mixing extensively with the new materials. When the washing machine starts washing again, the press valve automatically opens, and the residual liquid stored in the discharge tank 28 first enters the liquid outlet pipe 29 and is transported to the washing tub, where it is consumed first. This not only prevents the residual materials from accumulating and deteriorating over a long period of time, but also minimizes the interaction of components caused by the mixing of new and old materials, ensuring the washing effect and the safety of the clothes.

[0059] When adjusting the capacity ratio of the first tank 6 and the second tank 7, the sealing structure operates synchronously, automatically closing the discharge trough 28 corresponding to the unused tank. This ensures that the first tank 6 and the second tank 7 are independently separated, guaranteeing the independent use of the tanks after capacity adjustment and reducing space waste. If fabric softener is not needed, the second tank 7 is closed, and the sealing structure will simultaneously and completely close the discharge trough 28 corresponding to the second tank 7. This prevents residual material in the unused discharge trough 28 from being accidentally drawn into the washing system during the washing process, avoiding problems such as mis-addition of materials and confusion in use.

[0060] To achieve synchronized adaptation between the discharge channel and the tank's usage status, for example, such as... Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, the present invention also includes a closed structure comprising a sliding groove 30 disposed at the bottom of the inner side of the housing 4, two sets of discharge grooves 28 located within the sliding groove 30, a sliding plate 31 sealed and slidably connected within the sliding groove 30, and two stops 32 fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the sliding plate 31, the sliding plate 31 being located below the partition 5, and the partition 5 pressing the side of the stops 32 to drive the sliding plate 31 to slide when the partition 5 moves.

[0061] During use, the partition 5 will press against the corresponding stop 32 during movement, driving the slide plate 31 to slide in a sealed manner, thereby improving the structural sealing and hygiene.

[0062] If it is necessary to expand the first tank 6 and close the second tank 7, the partition 5 moves towards the second tank 7 and presses the corresponding stop 32, causing the slide plate 31 to slide to the discharge chute 28 of the second tank 7, automatically blocking the discharge channel of the idle tank and preventing residual material from being accidentally added or flowing back; if it is necessary to activate the second tank 7 and close the first tank 6, the partition 5 moves in the opposite direction to press the stop 32 on the other side, and the slide plate 31 slides synchronously to open the discharge chute 28 of the second tank 7 and close the discharge chute 28 of the first tank 6, realizing the synchronous adaptation of the discharge channel and the tank usage status, without the need for manual operation of the closing structure, improving the convenience of use.

[0063] For example, such as Figure 3As shown, the present invention also includes a cover plate 33 detachably connected to the upper surface of the housing 4. The cover plate 33 is provided with a first feeding port 34 communicating with the first trough 6 and a second feeding port 35 communicating with the second trough 7. A sealing flap 36 is hinged in both the first feeding port 34 and the second feeding port 35.

[0064] When in use, only materials need to be added and no cleaning is required. Pull the feeding component out a certain distance. The feeding component is not completely separated from the main body 1 of the washing machine. Lift the sealing flap 36 of the corresponding feeding port and add laundry detergent to the first tub 6 and fabric softener to the second tub 7 respectively. The operation is convenient and no additional parts need to be disassembled.

[0065] When changing to different types of washing materials, such as laundry detergent or fabric softener with different ingredients, or when deep cleaning of the inner walls and bottom of the first tub 6 and the second tub 7 is required, the feeding component should be completely pulled out through the pull plate 2 and separated from the main body of the washing machine to facilitate cleaning of residual materials and avoid mixing of new and old materials, which would affect the washing effect.

[0066] In use, according to washing needs, the adjustment knob 11 on one side of the housing 4 is rotated to drive the screw 10 to rotate, causing the slide 8 to move horizontally along the slide groove 9, thereby driving the partition 5 to move synchronously, freely allocating the capacity ratio of the first tank 6 and the second tank 7; when fabric softener is not needed, the partition 5 is moved towards the second tank 7 to reduce or even close the second tank 7, avoiding wasted space; in high-frequency washing scenarios such as multi-person households, the capacity of the first tank 6 is expanded to meet the need for large-scale storage at a time, reducing the tedious operation of frequent material replenishment, and improving the space utilization and adaptability of the feeding component;

[0067] When only materials need to be added and no cleaning is required, pull the feeding component out a certain distance. The feeding component is not completely separated from the main body 1 of the washing machine. Lift the sealing flap 36 of the corresponding feeding port and add laundry detergent to the first tub 6 and fabric softener to the second tub 7 respectively. The operation is convenient and no additional parts need to be disassembled.

[0068] When it is necessary to change to different washing materials or to perform deep cleaning, the feeding component is fully pulled out via the pull plate 2. When the feeding component is pulled out, the pressure on the elastic squeezing seat 24 disappears, the squeezing spring 25 releases its elastic potential energy, and drives the pull rod 23 and the slide rod 12 to move smoothly along the limiting groove 14. The elastic cleaning component moves synchronously. The first elastic folding airbag 15 and the second elastic folding airbag 16 achieve dynamic volume complementarity through the passage, automatically adapting to the adjusted tank space. The lower surface always fits the bottom of the tank. The first adjusting plate 17 and the second adjusting plate 18 fit the inner wall of the tank respectively. When moving, they simultaneously scrape the sticky residual materials on the inner wall and bottom. The residual materials are guided and collected by the chamfered inner side of the discharge groove 28. There is no need for frequent manual disassembly for deep cleaning, which reduces the user's maintenance costs, facilitates the cleaning of residual materials in the tank, effectively avoids the potential risks of washing effect reduction and damage to clothing fabrics caused by large-area mixing of new and old materials, and improves hygiene.

[0069] Insert the feeding component with the added materials into the main body 1 of the washing machine. The elastic squeezing seat 24 abuts against the inner wall of the feeding trough, and the locking block 27 engages with the locking slot 26 to lock it in place, preventing the parts from shifting due to vibration during washing machine operation. At the same time, the elastic squeezing seat 24 and the locking block 27 together adhere to the inner wall, increasing the squeezing area and distributing the force more evenly, thus avoiding localized wear. The squeezing spring 25 is compressed and stores energy, and the slide rod 12 drives the elastic cleaning component to smoothly return to its initial position, facilitating subsequent cleaning.

[0070] When the washing machine is started, the press valve in the discharge pipe 29 opens automatically, and the residual materials stored in the discharge trough 28 are first transported to the washing tub for priority consumption through the discharge pipe 29. This avoids the long-term accumulation and deterioration of residual materials and minimizes the interaction of components caused by the mixing of new and old materials, ensuring washing effect and clothing safety. In addition, when adjusting the capacity, the closed structure simultaneously closes the discharge trough 28 of the unused tub to prevent residual materials from being accidentally added and flowing back, ensuring that the two tubs are used independently.

[0071] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
