[0002] This section is intended to provide background or context for embodiments of this application. The description herein is not intended to imply that it is prior art simply because it is included in this section.

[0003] For garment handling equipment with a worktable, the garment inlet of the worktable is used to put or take garments into or out of the garment handling equipment. In related technologies, the worktable is equipped with a nozzle for dispensing fluids such as detergent. The nozzle installed on the worktable has a water outlet, through which detergent is dispensed into the garment handling chamber of the garment handling equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, this application aims to provide a dispensing component and a garment processing device, wherein both the first water path and the overflow water path are used to dispense detergent mixture into the garment processing chamber, thereby enriching the dispensing path of the detergent mixture.

[0005] This application provides a dispensing component for a clothing processing device, comprising:

[0006] A first water passage for conveying a detergent mixture solution, wherein at least a portion of the sidewalls of the first water passage are formed by the worktable of the garment handling equipment;

[0007] An overflow water path is used to collect the detergent mixture solution that overflows from the first water path;

[0008] An overflow structure is provided at the inlet end of the overflow water path to separate the first water path from the overflow water path.

[0009] In some embodiments, the dispensing component includes a partition structure and a first bottom wall portion, both disposed on the worktable of the garment processing equipment. The partition structure is disposed above the first bottom wall portion and defines a mixing chamber between the two. The partition structure and the mixing chamber are located on the first water path.

[0010] In some embodiments, the partition structure has multiple through-holes through which the detergent mixture flows, and the multiple through-holes are used to filter the detergent mixture and guide the filtered detergent mixture to the mixing chamber.

[0011] In some embodiments, the dispensing component includes a dispenser box removably disposed within a receiving cavity of the workbench, and an overflow structure and a partition structure disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity; the overflow structure separates a drainage area from the top surface region of the bottom wall of the receiving cavity, the drainage area being in communication with the mixing cavity, and the fluid overflowing from the drainage area entering the overflow water path; the top surface of the partition structure constitutes at least a portion of the drainage area.

[0012] In some embodiments, the overflow structure surrounds the partition structure.

[0013] In some embodiments, the overflow structure protrudes from the top surface of the bottom wall of the receiving cavity, dividing the area of ​​the top surface of the bottom wall of the receiving cavity into an overflow area and a drainage area, the overflow area and the drainage area being respectively disposed on opposite sides of the overflow structure.

[0014] In some embodiments, the overflow structure is integrally formed with the bottom wall of the worktable.

[0015] In some embodiments, a portion of the bottom wall of the receiving cavity is recessed downward to form a groove, the bottom of the groove forming the first bottom wall portion, the partition structure and the worktable are separate structures, and the partition structure covers the opening of the groove; or, the bottom wall of the receiving cavity has the through hole so that the partition structure constitutes part of the bottom wall of the receiving cavity, the first bottom wall portion and the worktable are separate structures, and the first bottom wall portion is connected to the bottom side of the worktable.

[0016] In some embodiments, the dispensing component further includes a second water passage for conveying fluid, the inlet of the second water passage being connected to a water source, and the fluid at the outlet of the second water passage converging with the fluid at the outlet of the first water passage, such that the converging mixed fluid is dispensed into the clothing processing chamber.

[0017] This application embodiment also provides a garment processing device, including:

[0018] Garment processing chamber;

[0019] And the dispensing component described in any embodiment of this application, the dispensing component being used to dispense a detergent mixture into the garment processing chamber.

[0020] The dispensing component provided in this application has two advantages. First, when the detergent mixture level in the first water path is higher than the overflow level, excess detergent mixture overflows into the overflow water path and enters the garment processing chamber. The overflow water path provides safety protection and promptly discharges excess detergent mixture from the first water path. Compared to related technologies that use only one outlet for detergent dispensing, both the first water path and the overflow water path in this application are used to dispense detergent mixture into the garment processing chamber, thus enriching the dispensing path for the detergent mixture. Second, at least a portion of the sidewall of the first water path is formed by a worktable, which reduces the number of pipes laid on the worktable. Attached Figure Description

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.

[0040] This application provides a garment processing device, which includes a housing and a workbench 10. The workbench 10 is disposed on the housing. The housing provides support for the workbench 10.

[0041] The workbench 10 can be located on the upper part of the box. It can be understood that the projection plane is a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction, and the bisector is a straight line extending horizontally and bisecting the projection of the box. The upper part of the box can be the part of the box located above the bisector.

[0042] In some embodiments, the housing may be approximately hexahedral in shape, such as a cube or a cuboid.

[0043] The garment processing equipment includes a garment processing chamber, a worktable 10, and a housing that together define a placement chamber, within which the garment processing chamber is located. The garment processing chamber is used to place garments.

[0044] The garment handling equipment can be a top-loading washing machine. The garment handling chamber of a top-loading washing machine rotates about an axis extending in the vertical direction.

[0045] The garment processing equipment includes a drum assembly having a garment processing chamber, and the drum assembly is placed in the placement chamber.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 The workbench 10 has a clothing inlet 10a that extends through both surfaces of the workbench 10 in the vertical direction and is connected to the clothing processing chamber. Clothes can be placed into or removed from the clothing processing chamber through the clothing inlet 10a. The workbench 10 forms the exterior surface of the clothing processing equipment.

[0047] The garment handling equipment includes a door that can selectively open or close the garment loading port 10a. For example, one end of the door can be rotatably connected to the worktable 10. This improves ease of operation.

[0048] The workbench 10 can also be used to install components such as a control panel, which can be used to control the operation of the clothing processing equipment.

[0049] In some embodiments, the drum assembly includes a rotatable inner drum. The inner drum has an inlet / outlet that can face upwards. A user can insert or remove clothing from the inner drum from above via the clothing inlet 10a and the inlet / outlet. The inner drum can be used to hold loads such as clothing. The inner drum can rotate; for example, clothing, water, and detergent rotate with the inner drum, thus causing the clothing to continuously change its position within the inner drum, and the water and detergent to change their flow direction.

[0050] The space inside the inner drum can serve as a clothes handling chamber, and the axis of the drum assembly can extend vertically. The worktable 10 can be positioned above the drum assembly. A rotatable impeller can be installed inside the clothes handling chamber, such as inside the inner drum, to agitate the clothes, water, and detergent within the drum assembly.

[0051] In some embodiments, the inner cylinder may be generally hollow and cylindrical.

[0052] In some embodiments, the tub assembly includes an outer tub, and an inner tub may be disposed within the outer tub. The outer tub is used to hold water for washing clothes, and the inner tub is used to hold the clothes.

[0053] In this embodiment, water is contained in the outer tub, and the inner tub can also be referred to as a perforated inner tub. The space inside the inner tub is part of the garment processing chamber. Fluid can flow through the flow holes in the inner tub between the space between the outer tub and the inner tub, and between the space inside the inner tub.

[0054] In some embodiments, the outer barrel may be generally hollow and cylindrical.

[0055] Please see Figures 1 to 12 This application provides a dispensing component for a clothing processing device, including a first water path 40A for conveying a detergent mixture solution, an overflow water path, and an overflow structure 80.

[0056] At least a portion of the sidewall of the first water channel 40A is formed by the workbench 10 of the garment processing equipment, that is, at least a portion of the sidewall of the first water channel 40A is constituted by the solid structure of the workbench 10.

[0057] Overflow water path 60A (see reference) Figure 8This is used to receive the detergent mixture overflowing from the first water channel 40A. When the level of the detergent mixture in the first water channel 40A is not higher than the overflow level, the detergent mixture is basically transported to the garment processing chamber through the first water channel 40A. When the level of the detergent mixture in the first water channel 40A is higher than the overflow level, the excess detergent mixture in the first water channel 40A overflows to the overflow water channel 60A and enters the garment processing chamber through the overflow water channel 60A.

[0058] An overflow structure 80 is disposed at the inlet end of the overflow water path 60A to separate the first water path 40A from the overflow water path 60A. When the liquid level in the first water path 40A is higher than the overflow liquid level, the fluid overflows the overflow structure 80 and enters the overflow water path 60A. It is understood that the overflow liquid level can be set according to requirements, and this application does not limit the specific value of the overflow structure 80.

[0059] The dispensing component provided in this application embodiment has two aspects. First, when the detergent mixture level in the first water channel 40A is higher than the overflow level, excess detergent mixture in the first water channel 40A overflows into the overflow water channel 60A and enters the garment processing chamber through the overflow water channel 60A. The overflow water channel 60A provides a safety protection function, ensuring timely discharge of excess detergent mixture in the first water channel 40A. Compared to related technologies that use only one outlet for detergent dispensing, both the first water channel 40A and the overflow water channel 60A in this application are used to dispense detergent mixture into the garment processing chamber, enriching the dispensing path of the detergent mixture. Second, at least a portion of the sidewall of the first water channel 40A is formed by the worktable 10, which reduces the number of pipes laid on the worktable 10.

[0060] It should be noted that the detergent mixture mentioned in this application is merely for ease of description and refers to a mixture containing dissolved detergent. Its mass percentage concentration is not limited, and the detergent mixture does not necessarily mean that the detergent is completely dissolved. In some embodiments, the detergent mixture may be undiluted detergent added by the user. In other embodiments, the detergent mixture may be a mixture of detergent and a fluid from a water source.

[0061] The function of detergent is not limited. For example, the function of detergent includes, but is not limited to, cleaning, softening or fragrance.

[0062] The type of detergent is not limited, and detergents include, but are not limited to, cleaning agents, fabric softeners, and / or fragrances, etc.

[0063] The form of detergent is not limited; it can be powdered laundry detergent or liquid laundry detergent that can be dispensed.

[0064] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 10The dispensing component includes a partition structure 20 and a first bottom wall portion 30, both disposed on the worktable 10 of the garment processing equipment. The partition structure 20 is disposed above the first bottom wall portion 30, defining a mixing chamber 20a between the two. Specifically, the top wall of the mixing chamber 20a is at least a portion of the partition structure 20, and the bottom wall of the mixing chamber 20a is at least a portion of the first bottom wall portion 30. The partition structure 20 and the mixing chamber 20a are located on a first water passage 40A. The detergent mixture solution in the first water passage 40A flows through the partition structure 20 into the mixing chamber 20a.

[0065] In this embodiment, the length of the first water path 40A is increased due to the presence of the baffle structure 20. On the one hand, the detergent mixture flows a longer path from its formation to its discharge from the worktable 10, and its flow state within the worktable 10 is more complex, resulting in more complete dissolution of the detergent components in the detergent mixture. On the other hand, when the detergent is laundry powder, it is prone to clumping due to insufficient dissolution or moisture. When the detergent mixture flows through the baffle structure 20, at least some of the laundry powder clumps remain on the baffle structure 20 due to the difference in properties between solids and liquids, thereby reducing the probability of downstream structures being blocked by laundry powder clumps and improving the reliability of the dispensing component.

[0066] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 9 The partition structure has multiple through holes. The fluid in the first water channel 40A flows through the partition structure 20. The multiple through holes are used to filter the detergent mixture solution in the first water channel 40A and guide the filtered detergent mixture solution to the mixing chamber 20a.

[0067] The form of the through hole is not limited. For example, in one embodiment, multiple through holes are formed on the partition structure 20 to form through holes, and substances larger than the diameter of the through holes are blocked by the partition structure 20; in another embodiment, a screen is provided on the partition structure 20, and the mesh of the screen forms through holes, and the detergent mixture solution leaks through the screen, in which undissolved substances are blocked by the screen.

[0068] Understandably, during the process of the detergent mixture passing through the partition structure 20, the partition structure 20 can filter the detergent mixture. On the one hand, when the detergent mixture passes through the partition structure 20, it can mix with air, increasing the foaming effect of the detergent. On the other hand, when the detergent is laundry powder, it is easy to form laundry powder clumps due to incomplete dissolution or moisture. The partition structure 20 can intercept laundry powder clumps larger than the through holes, reducing the probability of them entering the mixing chamber 20a and clogging the downstream structure, thus improving the reliability of the dispensing component.

[0069] In addition, the overflow structure 80 allows the detergent mixture to pass preferentially through the baffle structure 20 with a filtering function, which helps to intercept as many undissolved detergent clumps as possible in the detergent mixture.

[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The dispensing assembly includes a dispenser box 60, which is removably disposed within the receiving cavity 10b of the worktable 10. An overflow structure 80 and a partition structure 20 are disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 10b.

[0071] The dispenser box 60 is removably disposed within the receiving cavity 10b, meaning that the dispenser box 60 can enter or exit the receiving cavity 10b. This allows the dispenser box 60 to move relative to the receiving cavity 10b, facilitating the user's addition of detergent to the dispensing assembly. It is understood that the dispenser box 60 can be used to hold one or more types of detergent, which are used to form a detergent mixture solution.

[0072] In one embodiment, for example, the receiving cavity 10b has a pull-out opening 10c for the dispenser box 60 to enter and exit the receiving cavity 10b. The direction of pull-out of the dispenser box 60 is not limited; it can move along the front-to-back direction of the garment processing equipment, in which case the pull-out opening 10c is located on the radial side of the worktable along the garment dispensing opening 10a; or it can move along the up-down direction, in which case the pull-out opening 10c is located on the top surface of the worktable. The movable design of the dispenser box 60 allows it to be hidden or extended from the worktable 10 as needed, improving the aesthetics of the dispensing component.

[0073] In one embodiment, for example, the dispenser box 60 discharges the detergent mixture and flows into the receiving cavity 10b. A pull-out port 10c is located on the overflow channel 60A, meaning the detergent mixture can also flow out through the pull-out port 10c into the garment processing cavity.

[0074] The overflow structure 80 divides the area of ​​the bottom wall top surface of the receiving cavity 10b into a drainage area 10b1, which is connected to the mixing cavity 20a. The detergent mixture overflowing from the drainage area 10b1 can enter the overflow water path 60A. The top surface of the partition structure 20 constitutes at least part of the drainage area 10b1.

[0075] It should be noted that the top height of the overflow structure 80 is higher than the bottom wall height of the diversion area 10b1, so as to block the fluid in the diversion area 10b1 to one side of the overflow structure 80. When the water level in the diversion area 10b1 is higher than the overflow structure 80, the fluid overflows the overflow structure 80 and flows out.

[0076] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 8Due to the obstruction effect of the overflow structure 80, the detergent mixture in the drainage zone 10b1 does not flow directly to the pull-out port 10c, but rather tends to enter the mixing chamber 20a through the drainage zone 10b1. As an optional embodiment, the baffle structure 20 also has through holes to filter the detergent mixture in the drainage zone 10b1, so that the baffle structure 20 can block most of the detergent powder blocks in the first water path 40A.

[0077] The location of the overflow structure 80 is not limited. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the overflow structure 80 is disposed on the side of the partition structure 20 near the pull-out opening 10c to prevent the detergent mixture from flowing directly into the pull-out opening 10c. In other embodiments, the overflow structure 80 surrounds the partition structure 20, providing a better blocking effect.

[0078] In some embodiments, the overflow structure 80 and the baffle structure 20 are integrally formed.

[0079] In some embodiments, the overflow structure 80 and the worktable 10 are integrally formed.

[0080] In some embodiments, at least one of the partition structure 20 and the first bottom wall portion 30 is integrally formed with the worktable 10. That is, the partition structure 20 and the worktable 10 are integrally formed; or, the first bottom wall portion 30 and the worktable 10 are integrally formed; or, the partition structure 20 and the first bottom wall portion 30 are integrally formed with the worktable 10.

[0081] An integral molding design can improve structural reliability and reduce the number of parts. For example, in an embodiment where the partition structure 20 and the worktable 10 are integrally molded, a plurality of through holes can be drilled in the worktable 10 to form the partition structure 20.

[0082] The form of the overflow structure 80 is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, the drainage area 10b1 can be formed in the low-lying area of ​​the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 10b, and the overflow structure 80 can be formed in the higher area of ​​the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 10b. In other embodiments, the overflow structure 80 can be a rib structure protruding from the top surface of the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 10b, which separates the top surface of the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 10b into the drainage area 10b1 and the overflow area 10b2. The drainage area 10b1 and the overflow area 10b2 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the overflow structure 80, and the fluid overflowing in the drainage area 10b1 enters the overflow area 10b2. This design is more lightweight.

[0083] It should be noted that in the embodiment where the overflow structure 80 is a rib structure, the shape of its cross-section is not limited, for example, it can be a semi-circle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, or a triangle.

[0084] As an alternative embodiment, the bottom wall of the overflow area 10b2 has a slope that is inclined toward the pull-out port 10c along the orientation of the pull-out port 10c (such as the front and back direction of the garment processing device), which facilitates the rapid discharge of fluid from the overflow area 10b2 from the pull-out port 10c.

[0085] The first bottom wall portion 30 can be formed in, but is not limited to, the following two ways.

[0086] Firstly, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 The bottom wall of the receiving cavity 10b is partially recessed to form a groove, and the bottom of the groove forms the first bottom wall portion 30. The partition structure 20 and the worktable are separate structures, and the partition structure 20 covers the opening of the groove. That is to say, the first bottom wall portion 30 and the worktable 10 are integrally formed structures, and the partition structure 20 is detachably installed in the worktable 10. Such a worktable 10 structure has high reliability.

[0087] Secondly, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 11 The bottom wall of the receiving cavity 10b has a through hole so that the partition structure 20 forms part of the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 10b. The first bottom wall portion 30 and the worktable are separate structures, and the first bottom wall portion 30 is connected to the bottom side of the worktable. That is to say, the partition structure 20 and the worktable 10 are integrally formed structures, and the first bottom wall portion 30 is detachably installed on the outside of the worktable 10. Such a structure is simple to manufacture.

[0088] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 11 The dispensing assembly also includes a second water channel 50A for conveying fluid, with the inlet end of the second water channel 50A connected to a water source. The fluid at the outlet end of the second water channel 50A merges with the fluid at the outlet end of the first water channel 40A, and the resulting mixed fluid is dispensed into the garment processing chamber.

[0089] The fluid composition of the second water channel 50A is related to the water source it is connected to. The water source in this specification refers to the water source that supplies water to the first water channel 40A and / or the second water channel 50A, such as tap water; it can also be the internal water source of the garment processing equipment, such as circulating water.

[0090] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The garment processing equipment includes a water inlet valve 90, which is connected to a water source such as a tap water pipe. The first water path 40A and the second water path 50A can be connected to different water inlet valves 90, or they can be connected to the same water inlet valve 90; this is not limited here. As an optional embodiment, the garment processing equipment includes a circulation pump, with one of the first water path 40A and the second water path 50A connected to the water inlet valve 90, and the other connected to the circulation pump of the garment processing equipment.

[0091] It should be noted that the first water path 40A and the second water path 50A both refer to the flow path of the fluid, and are not limited to specific pipe structures. The first water path 40A and the second water path 50A are two fluid flow paths with different directions within the garment processing equipment.

[0092] The fluids in the first water channel 40A and the second water channel 50A are sprayed into the garment processing chamber after converging. The two fluids collide and mix with each other in the mixing space 30a, which can promote the dissolution of detergent components, make the detergent components in the detergent mixture solution more uniform, and improve the washing ratio of the garment processing equipment.

[0093] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 12 The workbench 10 has a mixing space 30a and a water outlet 40a. The water outlet 40a is disposed on the cavity wall of the mixing space 30a. The fluids in the first water path 40A and the second water path 50A converge in the mixing space 30a and are discharged into the clothing processing cavity of the clothing processing equipment through the water outlet 40a. The mixing space 30a is a cavity structure formed inside an actual object.

[0094] The mixed fluid in the mixing chamber 20a is directly injected into the clothes processing chamber through the outlet 40a. There is no need to set up an additional pipe structure at the outlet 40a. Instead, it is spontaneously sprayed into the space of the clothes processing chamber, which can achieve the effect of spraying and increase the contact area between the detergent components and the clothes to be treated.

[0095] As an optional embodiment, the water outlet 40a is located around the clothing inlet 10a, which facilitates the spraying of fluid onto the clothing to be treated.

[0096] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 11 The outlet end of the second water channel 50A faces the outlet 40a. In this way, the fluid discharged from the outlet end of the second water channel 50A can drive the fluid in the mixing space 30a to be sprayed out through the outlet 40a, and the water discharge pattern of the outlet 40a is similar to that of the outlet end of the second water channel 50A, so it is not necessary to install an additional drainage pipe at the outlet 40a.

[0097] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 11 The water outlet 40a is tilted downward to spray water, so that the fluid sprayed from the water outlet 40a can be sprayed onto the clothes in the clothes treatment chamber as much as possible, quickly soaking the clothes, improving the utilization rate of detergent, and enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0098] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8The dispensing assembly also includes a nozzle 40 with an outlet, located at the end of the second water passage 50A, with at least a portion of the nozzle 40 extending into the mixing space 30a, and the outlet of the nozzle 40 constituting the outlet of the second water passage 50A. Thus, the nozzle 40 can draw in fluid from the first water passage 40A while dispensing fluid, thereby achieving further mixing of the fluid in the first water passage 40A with the fluid in the second water passage 50A.

[0099] The aforementioned suction of fluid from the first water path 40A refers to the fact that when the nozzle 40 ejects fluid, under the influence of the fluid's viscosity and velocity difference, the fluid from the first water path 40A in the mixing space 30a concentrates towards the nozzle, thereby improving the mixing effect between the fluid from the first water path 40A and the fluid from the second water path 50A.

[0100] As an optional embodiment, the nozzle 40 is directed toward the outlet 40a. In this way, the fluid in the second water path 50A travels a shorter distance from leaving the second water path 50A to being ejected from the outlet 40a. This reduces the dispersion of the water outlet at the outlet end of the second water path 50A and makes it easier for ambient air to be drawn into the mixing space 30a, thereby improving the foaming effect of the detergent.

[0101] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 11 The mixing chamber 20a extends along the first direction S, and the position of the mixing space 30a can be set in at least the following two ways.

[0102] The first type, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the mixing space 30a is located on the side of the mixing chamber 20a facing the clothing dispensing port 10a, and the bottom wall of the mixing space 30a is lower than the first bottom wall portion 30. In this embodiment, the fluid in the mixing chamber 20a can enter from opposite sides of the mixing space 30a along the first direction S, which is beneficial for the rapid discharge of the fluid in the mixing chamber 20a. This arrangement can also reduce the space occupied by the dispensing component in the front-back direction, making the structure more compact.

[0103] The second type, such as Figure 11 As shown, the mixing space 30a is located on one side of the mixing chamber 20a along the first direction S. In this embodiment, the fluid in the mixing chamber 20a enters from the mixing space 30a along the first direction S, resulting in a relatively simple structure.

[0104] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8The dispensing component includes a nozzle body 70, which is disposed in the receiving cavity 10b and located above the distributor box 60. The nozzle body 70 has a water inlet cavity 70a and a water distribution hole (not shown in the figure). The water distribution hole is used to guide the water in the water inlet cavity 70a to the distributor box 60 below. The water inlet cavity 70a and the water distribution hole constitute part of the first water path 40A.

[0105] In other words, the fluid from the water source connected to the first water channel 40A enters the inlet chamber 70a and then flows into the distributor box 60 through the water distribution holes, forming a detergent mixture solution in the distributor box 60. This design not only efficiently dissolves the detergent but also cleans the interior of the distributor box 60. The number of water distribution holes can be multiple, such as two or three, to separately inject water into different types of detergents added to the distributor box 60.

[0106] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without creating contradictions.

[0107] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
