Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of laundry cleaning agents, and more particularly to a containment component for a slow-release cleaning agent. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, laundry detergents are typically liquid or powder formulations, such as laundry liquid and laundry powder. Users need to manually add them to the dispensing device each time they clean clothes, requiring frequent operation within a certain washing cycle (e.g., one year). As an advancement, existing technologies also include slow-release formulations that slowly release functional substances by dissolving them in water. However, these slow-release formulations are usually contained in containers with numerous perforations. The washing water flow randomly washes across different surfaces of the slow-release formulation through these perforations, resulting in a rapid release rate and an unstable release curve for the functional substances that varies with the water flow environment. The lifespan of the slow-release formulation is difficult to control, and the release amount of functional substances is relatively random, failing to guarantee cleaning effectiveness. Users also cannot predict the stable lifespan of the slow-release formulation, leading to a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, embodiments of this application aim to provide a container for a cleaning agent, in which a sustained-release cleaning agent can achieve controllable contact with water flow, resulting in a smooth release curve of the sustained-release cleaning agent, stable single release of functional substances, long service life of the sustained-release cleaning agent, and improved user experience of the sustained-release cleaning agent.

[0004] This application provides a receiving component for a slow-release cleaning agent, the receiving component being adapted to be placed in a dispensing component of a garment processing device, comprising: a housing, the housing having an internally defined receiving cavity, the housing including a first wall and other walls, the receiving cavity being adapted to receive a slow-release cleaning agent; a first through-hole region disposed on the first wall, adapted to connect the external space of the first wall and the receiving cavity; and a second through-hole region disposed on one or more of the other walls, adapted to connect the external space of the other walls and the receiving cavity; wherein the area of ​​the first through-hole region is larger than the total area of ​​the second through-hole regions.

[0005] In some embodiments, the housing includes a housing and a cover, the housing and the cover cooperating to define the receiving cavity, a first wall being disposed in one of the housing and the cover, and one or more of the other walls being disposed in the other of the housing and the cover; preferably, the first wall intersects one or more of the other walls through an edge; preferably, the edge is located on the housing; preferably, the first wall is disposed on the cover, and the other walls are disposed on the housing.

[0006] In some embodiments, one of the housing and the cover is provided with a boss, and the other of the housing and the cover overlaps with the boss; or, one of the housing and the cover is provided with at least one protrusion, and the other of the housing and the cover is formed with at least one groove, and each of the protrusions and each of the grooves are engaged with each other.

[0007] In some embodiments, the protrusions or grooves are provided on at least two surfaces of the housing, corresponding to the grooves or protrusions on the corresponding surfaces of the cover; preferably, a slit is provided on at least one side of the groove, and the at least one slit is spaced apart from the groove.

[0008] In some implementations, the first wall further includes a first enclosed area surrounding the periphery of the first through-hole area.

[0009] In some embodiments, the other wall includes a second wall; at least a portion of the second through-hole area is disposed on the second wall; preferably, the entire second through-hole area is disposed on the second wall; preferably, the second wall further includes a second closed area and a third closed area, the second closed area and the third closed area being combined to surround the periphery of the second through-hole area.

[0010] In some embodiments, the second closed area is located between the second through-hole area and the edge; the third closed area is located on the side of the second through-hole area away from the edge; preferably, the area of ​​the second closed area is smaller than that of the third closed area.

[0011] In some implementations, the first through-hole region includes a plurality of first through-holes, and the second through-hole region includes a plurality of second through-holes, wherein the number and / or diameter and / or total area of ​​the first through-holes is greater than the number and / or diameter and / or total area of ​​the second through-holes.

[0012] In some embodiments, the housing further includes at least a third wall, which is an enclosed area; preferably, all walls of the housing other than the first and second walls are enclosed areas.

[0013] In some embodiments, when the receiving device is placed in the dispensing assembly of the garment handling equipment, the first through-hole area is higher than the second through-hole area in the direction of gravity, thereby guiding fluid from the first through-hole into the receiving cavity and from the second through-hole out of the receiving cavity.

[0014] In some embodiments, the housing is provided with a residual water prevention area; preferably, the residual water prevention area includes residual water holes and / or residual water tanks.

[0015] The slow-release cleaning agent containing component provided in this application has two through-hole areas with unequal total areas. This results in a unequal total flow rate into and out of the containing cavity. Consequently, the containing cavity remains continuously filled under water flow, preventing excess water from dissolving the cleaning agent. Furthermore, the outflow rate per unit time is generally equal, leading to a similar amount of dissolved functional substances. This results in a more stable release curve for the slow-release cleaning agent, and the outflowing solution carries an appropriate amount of functional substances to participate in clothing cleaning. This ensures a stable service life for the cleaning agent and a good user experience. Additionally, this containing component is suitable for placement in the dispensing component of clothing processing equipment, making it convenient for users and preventing damage to clothing.

[0027] In related technologies, laundry detergents are typically liquid or powder formulations, such as laundry liquid and laundry powder. Users need to manually add them to the dispensing device each time they clean clothes, requiring frequent operation within a certain washing cycle (e.g., one year). As an advancement, existing technologies also include slow-release formulations that slowly release functional substances by dissolving them in water. However, these slow-release formulations are usually contained in containers with numerous perforations. The washing water flow randomly washes across different surfaces of the slow-release formulation through these perforations, resulting in a rapid release rate and an unstable release curve for the functional substances that varies with the water flow environment. The lifespan of the slow-release formulation is difficult to control, and the release amount of functional substances is relatively random, failing to guarantee cleaning effectiveness. Users also cannot predict the stable lifespan of the slow-release formulation, leading to a poor user experience.

[0028] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a container 10 for a slow-release cleaning agent suitable for placement in a dispensing component 20 of a garment processing device.

[0029] Please see Figure 1As shown, a garment handling device, such as a washing machine or washer-dryer, includes a garment handling chamber and a dispensing assembly 20. The garment handling chamber is adapted to accommodate the load to be processed, and the dispensing assembly 20 is adapted to accommodate detergent and dispense the detergent into the garment handling chamber. The dispensing assembly 20 has a first receiving tank 201, a second receiving tank 203, and / or a third receiving tank 204 for dispensing detergent, each receiving tank having a chamber for holding the detergent. Different receiving tanks can hold the same type or form of detergent; for example, the second receiving tank 203 and the third receiving tank 204 are both used for holding detergent, with the second receiving tank 203 for manual dispensing and the third receiving tank 204 for automatic dispensing. Alternatively, different types or forms of detergent can be placed; for example, the first receiving tank 201 is used for holding fabric softener or disinfectant, while the second receiving tank 203 is used for holding detergent or laundry powder. This disclosure does not specifically limit the types or forms of detergent.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first receiving tank 201 further includes a siphon structure 202, which is used to draw the detergent solution in the first receiving tank 201 into the clothing processing chamber by means of the siphon effect, so as to realize the specific function of the detergent.

[0031] In this embodiment, the receiving component 10 is adapted to be placed in at least one receiving tank of the dispensing component 20 of this disclosure. For example, if the slow-release cleaning agent in the receiving component 10 is a detergent, then the receiving component 10 is adapted to be placed in a second receiving tank 203; in another example, if the slow-release cleaning agent in the receiving component 10 is a fabric softener or a bactericide, then the receiving component 10 is adapted to be placed in a first receiving tank 201. In use, water flowing in from the inlet of the dispensing component enters the receiving component 10 to release the slow-release cleaning agent. The aqueous solution of the cleaning agent fills the receiving tank and is then dispensed into the garment processing chamber by the dispensing component 20.

[0032] It should be noted that the types of detergent preparations may include detergents, fabric softeners, bactericides, water treatment agents, etc.; the form of detergent preparations may be liquid, laundry powder, laundry pods, gel, or solid slow-release granules, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0033] It should be noted that the receiving tank for holding the detergent in the dispensing component 20 can be formed on the housing of the dispensing component, or it can be formed in the dispenser or drawer box inside the dispensing component. The number of receiving tanks can be one, two or more, and at least one or all of the receiving tanks are provided with a siphon structure. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0034] It should be noted that the receiving component 10 is suitable for placement in at least one receiving slot in the dispensing component 20 of this disclosure, and the fact that the receiving component 10 is suitable for placement in the receiving slot is only a description of the usage environment of the receiving component 10. The receiving component 10 can also be placed in other usage environments or scenarios, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 As shown, the receiving component 10 includes a body 110, which includes a first wall 1201 and a plurality of other walls. The first wall 1201 and the other walls intersect or are parallel to each other. Together, the first wall 1201 and the plurality of other walls constitute the body 110. The interior of the body 110 defines a receiving cavity 140, which is suitable for receiving a sustained-release cleaning agent. It is understood that the walls of the body 110 have a certain thickness, and each wall includes a surface located in an external space and a surface located in an internal space.

[0036] In this embodiment, a first through-hole area 1202 is provided on the first wall 1201. The first through-hole area 1202 is composed of a plurality of first through-holes 1204, each of which penetrates the first wall 1201, so that the external space of the main body 110 is connected to the receiving cavity 140 through the first through-hole 1204. A second through-hole area 11013 is also provided on the other walls. The second through-hole area 11013 is composed of a plurality of second through-holes 11014, each of which penetrates one of the other walls, so that the external space of the main body 110 is connected to the receiving cavity 140 through the second through-hole 11014.

[0037] In this embodiment, the area of ​​the first through-hole region 1202 is greater than the total area of ​​the second through-hole region 11013. Here, since the first through-hole region 1202 is located on the first wall 1201, the area of ​​the first through-hole region 1202 is its area on the first wall 1201; the second through-hole regions 11013 are distributed on the other walls except the first wall 1201, so the total area of ​​the second through-hole region 11013 is the sum of the areas of all through-hole regions on the other walls.

[0038] Therefore, the containment component for the slow-release cleaning agent provided in this application embodiment has a first through-hole region 1202 and a second through-hole region 11013 with unequal total areas. This results in the total flow rate entering the containment cavity being unequal to the total flow rate exiting the containment cavity. Consequently, the containment cavity of the containment component remains continuously filled under the flushing of water, preventing excessive water from flowing into the containment cavity to dissolve the cleaning agent. Furthermore, the overall outflow rate of water per unit time is equal, and the amount of dissolved functional substances is also equal. This makes the release curve of the slow-release cleaning agent more stable, and the outflowing solution can carry an appropriate amount of functional substances to participate in clothing cleaning. The service life of the cleaning agent is stable, resulting in a good user experience. Moreover, this containment component is suitable for placement in the dispensing component of clothing processing equipment, making it convenient for users and preventing damage to clothing.

[0039] In some implementations, see Figure 2 The housing includes a main body 110 and a cover 120. The main body 110 includes multiple walls and an opening, with spaces within the multiple walls. The cover 120 covers the opening of the main body 110. When the cover 120 is placed over the opening of the main body 110, the cover 120 and the multiple walls of the main body 110 together constitute the housing and define a receiving cavity 140. In this embodiment, the first wall 1201 can be one of the multiple walls of the main body 110 or a wall of the cover 120. Correspondingly, the other multiple walls are disposed on the main body 110 and / or the cover 120. Preferably, the first wall 1201 is the wall surface of the cover 120, and the other multiple walls are the multiple wall surfaces of the main body 110. In this case, at least a portion of the other multiple walls on the main body 110 includes an edge 130. The multiple edges 130 are connected end to end to form the edge of the opening of the main body 110. When the cover 120 covers the opening, the periphery of the first wall 1201 on it intersects and cooperates with the edge 130 to close the opening of the main body 110. It should be noted that, as an optional approach, the first wall can also be a wall surface on the main body 110, and the other multiple walls can be other wall surfaces on the main body 110 and the wall surfaces of the cover 120. The first wall intersects and cooperates with at least a portion of the edge 130 of the other multiple walls to achieve closure.

[0040] In some implementations, reference Figures 3-5The main body 110 is provided with a boss 1104, which is formed on the inner surface of the main body wall. This boss 1104 can be achieved by adding ribs to the inner surface of the wall, or by thinning the wall thickness between the boss 1104 and the edge 130. Specifically, the wall thickness in the area where the boss 1104 is located is greater than the wall thickness between the boss 1104 and the edge 130. In this way, the boss 1104 can limit the cover 120 covering the opening, preventing the cover 120 from entering the receiving cavity 140 and affecting the loading of the slow-release cleaning agent inside the receiving cavity 140. Alternatively, a groove can be formed on the wall surface of the cover 120, and the edge 130 of the main body 110 can be inserted into the groove to achieve the limiting purpose during assembly of the main body 110 and the cover 120.

[0041] In some implementations, see Figure 3 At least one or more protrusions 1103 are provided on the wall between the boss 1104 and the edge 130 of the main body 110, and the protrusions 1103 are distributed on the wall between the boss 1104 and the edge 130. Correspondingly, at least one groove 12051 is provided on the cover 120, and each groove 12051 is provided corresponding to a protrusion 1103. Thus, when assembling the cover 120 and the main body 110, the protrusions 1103 and the grooves 12051 can be engaged accordingly, which is simple to assemble and has good reliability. As a specific example, the protrusions 1103 may include 2, 3, 4, 8 or more, distributed on one, two, three or four walls of the main body 110. Multiple protrusions 1103 may be spaced apart on the same wall or symmetrically arranged on different walls. Preferably, four protrusions 1103 are arranged on two opposite walls of the main body 110, with two protrusions 1103 spaced apart on each wall, and the protrusions 1103 on opposite walls are symmetrically arranged in position. Figure 5 As shown, the multiple grooves 12051 on the cover 120 are also distributed correspondingly to the multiple protrusions 1103. Thus, the grooves 12051 on the cover 120 have the best stability after engaging with the multiple protrusions 1103, which can prevent damage under the action of water flow or vibration during operation of the clothing processing equipment, resulting in a good user experience.

[0042] In some implementations, see Figure 4 As shown, at least one side of each groove 12051 is provided with a slit 12052, and the slit 12052 is spaced apart from the groove 12051. Thus, the side wall of the groove 12051 has a certain space so that the side wall of the groove 12051 will not be obstructed when deformed, and the structure of the groove 12051 is avoided during installation.

[0043] In some implementations, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The first wall 1201 includes a first closed area 1203, which surrounds the periphery of the first through-hole area 1202. It should be noted that the closed area here is relative to the through-hole area, referring to a region that does not have a suitable fluid passage area composed of several through-hole structures, excluding areas that achieve the function of preventing residual water by consisting only of a single through-hole or groove structure. Therefore, fluid cannot enter the receiving cavity 140 from the outside of the receiving component 10 or flow out of the receiving component 10 from the receiving cavity 140 through the first closed area 1203. The first closed area 1203 is disposed between the edge of the first through-hole area 1202 and the first wall 1201. It can be an annular area surrounding the first through-hole area 1202 or composed of several block-shaped areas; its specific shape is not limited in this disclosure. Thus, the first closed area 1203 defines the fluid flow channel of the first wall 1201, allowing fluid to flow into the receiving cavity 140 from a specific area, avoiding irregular inflow or outflow of water into the receiving cavity and thus preventing fluctuations in the release life of the slow-release cleaning agent.

[0044] In some implementations, see Figure 2 Multiple other walls include a second wall 1101, and at least a portion of the second through-hole region 11013 is disposed on the second wall 1101.

[0045] In this embodiment, in addition to the first wall 1201, the housing also includes a second wall 1101. The second wall can be a wall surface on the main body 110 or a wall surface on the cover 120, and this disclosure does not limit it in this way. The plane where the second wall 1101 is located intersects or is parallel to the plane where the first wall 1201 is located. A portion of the second through-hole area 11013 can be provided on the second wall 1101, that is, the second through-hole area 11013 is distributed on multiple wall surfaces including the second wall 1101. The housing also includes a third wall 1102. The third wall 1102 does not have a through-hole area, that is, the third wall 1102 is a completely closed area. Therefore, the third wall 1102 cannot form a flow channel for fluid passage. Water flow inside the receiving cavity 140 and water flow outside the receiving assembly 10 cannot flow through the third wall 1102, restricting the flow direction of fluid inside and outside the receiving assembly 10. As a preferred embodiment, the entire area of ​​the second through-hole region 11013 is located on the second wall 1101. That is to say, the walls of the shell other than the first wall 1201 and the second wall 1101 are all closed areas. As a result, the external fluid of the receiving device 10 flows unidirectionally through the channel formed by the first wall 1201 and the second wall 1101. The flow direction of the fluid is relatively certain, which avoids the water flow repeatedly entering and exiting the receiving cavity 140 through multiple channels and impacting the slow-release cleaning agent in multiple directions, so that the release curve of the slow-release cleaning agent is stable and controllable.

[0046] In some embodiments, the second wall 1101 further includes a second closed area 11011 and a third closed area 11012, which together surround the periphery of the second through-hole area 11013.

[0047] In this embodiment, since the second closed region 11011 and the third closed region 11012 surround the periphery of the second through-hole region 11013, the second through-hole region 11013 is confined to a specific area of ​​the second wall 1101. This further defines the flow channel range for the fluid to enter and exit the receiving device 10, which is beneficial for further stabilizing the release profile of the slow-release cleaning agent loaded in the receiving device 10 in the fluid. Here, the second closed region 11011 and the third closed region 11012 are similar to the first closed region 1203, and fluid cannot enter or exit the receiving device through these regions.

[0048] As a preferred embodiment, the second closed area 11011 is located between the second through-hole area 11013 and the edge 130, and the third closed area 11012 is located on the side of the second through-hole area 11013 away from the edge 130. The area of ​​the second closed area 11011 is smaller than that of the third closed area 11012. Therefore, the distribution position of the second through-hole area 11013 on the second wall 1101 corresponds to the side of the receiving cavity 140 closer to the edge 130. This results in more than half of the space in the receiving cavity 140 corresponding to a closed area without through-holes. Water in this space will not flow out due to gravity; the outflow rate is affected by the inflow rate of water into the receiving cavity 140. Thus, by controlling the flow rate of water into the receiving cavity 140, the release rate of the sustained-release cleaning agent can be controlled, improving the stability of the sustained-release cleaning agent in use.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first through-hole region 1202 includes a plurality of first through-holes 1204, and the second through-hole region 11013 includes a plurality of second through-holes 11014. The number and / or diameter and / or total area of ​​the plurality of first through-holes 1204 are greater than the number and / or diameter and / or total area of ​​the plurality of second through-holes 11014. Therefore, the fluid flow flux of the first through-hole region 1202, composed of the plurality of first through-holes 1204, is greater than that of the second through-hole region 11013, composed of the plurality of second through-holes 11014. Regardless of whether water flows from the first through-hole region 1202 to the second through-hole region 11013 or vice versa, even considering the influence of residual water in the receiving cavity 140, the fluid renewal flow rate in this process is stable and controllable. This allows for more stable control of the release amount of the slow-release cleaning agent, improving the user experience. It should be noted that, for different needs of sustained-release cleaning agents, the sustained-release curve and release amount can be controlled by adjusting parameters such as the number and / or diameter and / or total area of ​​the pores. The specific parameter settings can be determined by those skilled in the art according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit them.

[0050] In some embodiments, a water-retaining area (not shown) is also provided on the wall of the main body. The water-retaining area is provided with a through hole or groove structure, which is suitable for allowing residual fluid in the receiving cavity 140 to be discharged under its own gravity when the receiving component 10 is in an environment without flowing fluid, thereby reducing the possibility of residual water in the receiving cavity 140 breeding bacteria or producing odors.

[0051] In some embodiments, when the receiving device 10 is placed in the dispensing assembly 20 of the garment processing equipment, the first through-hole area 1202 is higher than the second through-hole area 11013 in the direction of gravity, thereby guiding fluid from the first through-hole 1204 into the receiving cavity 140 and from the second through-hole 11014 out of the receiving cavity 140.

[0052] Here, since the area of ​​the first through-hole region 1202 is larger than the area of ​​the second through-hole region 11013, when water flows from the first through-hole region 1202 to the second through-hole region 11013, under the action of gravity, the flow rate of fluid flowing in from the first through-hole region 1202 is greater than the flow rate flowing out from the second through-hole region 11013. The water in the receiving cavity 140 occupies the space of the receiving cavity 140, so that excess water cannot continue to flow into the receiving cavity 140, thereby keeping the water volume in the receiving cavity 140 constant for a period of time. Since the slow-release cleaning agent relies on water for slow release, the slow-release cleaning agent can be released stably when the water volume is constant, thereby achieving the stability and controllability of the slow-release curve and meeting the user's demand for stable release of the slow-release cleaning agent.
