Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing treatment equipment technology, specifically providing a treatment agent dispensing device and clothing treatment equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With technological advancements and improved living standards, washing machines are becoming increasingly automated and intelligent. Some washing machines feature automatic detergent dispensing, which dispenses the appropriate amount of detergent based on the weight and level of soiling of the clothes. This prevents clothes from being poorly cleaned due to insufficient detergent added manually by the user, and also avoids detergent residue remaining after rinsing due to excessive detergent addition.

[0003] Washing machines with automatic dispensing functions typically have a hinged cap at the dispensing port to prevent dust, impurities, water, and other substances from entering the dispensing device and affecting the normal use of the laundry detergent. To improve the stability of the cap after opening and prevent accidental closure, the maximum flip angle of the cap when open is set to exceed 90°. In addition, to save space, dryers and other equipment are often stacked on top of the washing machine via connectors. When these connectors extend to the front wall of the washing machine casing, they create an interference angle. When adding laundry detergent by pulling the dispensing box out of the washing machine, if the user pushes the box back without closing the cap, the cap will enter the interference angle. Since the cap's flip angle exceeds 90°, the cap will interfere with the bottom wall of the connector under the pushing force and get stuck in the interference angle. This makes it impossible to close the cap or push the box back, reducing the user experience. To prevent the cap from jamming, increasing the length of the cap may cause it to fail to close or block the water inlet. Conversely, decreasing the length of the cap or reducing the opening angle to less than or equal to 90° may affect the stability of the cap's open position.

[0004] Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a new treatment agent dispensing device and clothing treatment equipment to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, namely, to solve the problem that the cover of the treatment agent dispensing device of the washing machine in the prior art cannot avoid jamming while ensuring the stability of the open state.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a treatment agent dispensing device, the treatment agent dispensing device comprising: a box body having a receiving cavity formed therein, a filling port being provided on the top wall of the box body, the filling port communicating with the receiving cavity; a main cover having a first end hinged to the box body, the main cover being configured to cover the filling port and be able to be flipped open upwards; and an auxiliary cover having a first end hinged to the main cover, the auxiliary cover being located on the side of the main cover facing away from the filling port when opened, and when both the main cover and the auxiliary cover are flipped open to their maximum angle, the projection of the second end of the auxiliary cover opposite to its first end on the horizontal plane extends beyond the projection of the second end of the main cover opposite to its first end on the horizontal plane.

[0007] With the above technical solution, since the auxiliary cover is located on the side of the main cover away from the filling port when it is open, and the projection of the second end of the auxiliary cover on the horizontal plane extends beyond the projection of the second end of the main cover on the horizontal plane, when both the main cover and the auxiliary cover are open, if the box is pushed without closing the main cover, other structures such as the platform and the casing above the box will first contact the auxiliary cover and push it to move. The movement of the auxiliary cover can cause the main cover to flip and eventually close, allowing the box to return to the garment processing equipment. This avoids the problem of the main cover being stuck due to interference with other structures above it. In addition, the design of the auxiliary cover also causes the center of gravity to shift to the side away from the filling port after the main cover is opened, improving the stability of the main cover in the open state. This achieves the goal of avoiding the problem of jamming while ensuring the stability of the main cover in the open state.

[0008] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned treatment agent dispensing device, the maximum flipping angle of the main cover is a first angle, which is greater than or equal to 90° and less than 180°.

[0009] When the above technical solution is adopted, the maximum flip angle of the main cover is set to be greater than or equal to 90° and less than 180°, which can improve the stability of the main cover in the open state.

[0010] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned treatment agent dispensing device, the maximum flipping angle of the auxiliary cover is the second angle, which is less than or equal to 90°.

[0011] When the above technical solution is adopted, the rotation angle of the auxiliary cover is less than or equal to 90° when the main cover is closed, which helps the auxiliary cover to rotate downward under the action of gravity and return to the closed state.

[0012] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned treatment agent dispensing device, the sum of the first angle and the second angle is equal to 180°.

[0013] With the above technical solution, regardless of the maximum flip angle of the main cover, when both the main cover and the auxiliary cover are in the open state, the auxiliary cover can be in a horizontal position. This allows the platform, housing, and other structures above the box to contact the auxiliary cover and move it under the action of the pushing force, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the pushing force and further preventing jamming.

[0014] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned treatment agent dispensing device, the first end of the auxiliary cover is hinged to the middle of the main cover.

[0015] With the above technical solution, the longer the auxiliary cover is, the closer the first end of the auxiliary cover is to the second end of the main cover, and the greater the change in the center of gravity of the main cover. Therefore, by hinged the first end of the auxiliary cover to the middle of the main cover, the length of the auxiliary cover can be increased as much as possible without the auxiliary cover extending beyond the main cover, while the distance between the first end of the auxiliary cover and the second end of the main cover can be reduced as much as possible, which further improves the stability of the main cover in the open state.

[0016] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned treatment agent dispensing device, the main cover is provided with a mounting hole, and the auxiliary cover is located in the mounting hole when closed.

[0017] When the above technical solution is adopted, the weight of the main cover can be reduced by setting the mounting hole, and the auxiliary cover will not protrude out of the mounting hole when it is closed, thus avoiding interference with other structures above it after the auxiliary cover is closed.

[0018] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned treatment agent dispensing device, the mounting hole is a stepped hole, and the auxiliary cover is placed on the step of the stepped hole.

[0019] When the above technical solution is adopted, the cover is erected on the step, which can completely cover the installation hole and prevent dust, water and other substances from entering the containment cavity from the installation hole and affecting the normal use of the treatment agent.

[0020] In a second aspect, the present invention also provides a garment treatment apparatus, the garment treatment apparatus including the treatment agent dispensing device.

[0021] With the above technical solution, the treatment agent dispensing device of the garment treatment equipment can ensure the stability of the main cover opening state while avoiding jamming.

[0022] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the clothing processing equipment includes a washing machine, the processing agent dispensing device is located below the tabletop of the washing machine, and when both the main cover and the auxiliary cover are flipped open to their maximum angle, the auxiliary cover can abut against the front wall of the tabletop.

[0023] When the above technical solution is adopted, when both the main cover and the auxiliary cover are opened to their maximum angle, the height of the auxiliary cover is within the thickness range of the front wall of the table panel, so that the auxiliary cover can abut against the front wall of the table panel. Therefore, when the box is pushed back, if the main cover is not closed, the auxiliary cover abuts against the front wall of the table panel first and moves under the action of the pushing force, thereby causing the main cover to flip and close.

[0024] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the clothing processing equipment further includes a dryer, which is located above the washing machine. A connector is provided between the dryer and the washing machine, and the front part of the bottom wall of the connector protrudes beyond the front wall of the countertop.

[0025] When the above technical solution is adopted, if a dryer is installed above the washing machine, the front part of the bottom wall of the connector protrudes outside the front wall of the countertop and forms an interference angle. The setting of the auxiliary cover can avoid the main cover from entering the interference angle and interfering with the bottom wall of the connector, thus preventing it from closing and getting stuck.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the treatment agent dispensing device provided by the present invention are as follows: Since the auxiliary cover is located on the side of the main cover away from the filling port when it is open, and the projection of the second end of the auxiliary cover on the horizontal plane extends beyond the projection of the second end of the main cover on the horizontal plane, when both the main cover and the auxiliary cover are open, if the box is pushed without closing the main cover, other structures such as the platform or the casing above the box will contact the auxiliary cover first and push it to move. The movement of the auxiliary cover can drive the main cover to flip and finally close, so that the box can be returned to the clothing treatment equipment, avoiding the problem of the main cover being stuck due to interference with other structures above it. In addition, the setting of the auxiliary cover also causes the center of gravity to shift to the side away from the filling port after the main cover is opened, improving the stability of the main cover in the open state, and achieving the goal of avoiding the problem of jamming while ensuring the stability of the main cover in the open state.

Detailed Implementation

[0041] Some embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0042] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," which indicate direction or positional relationships, are based on the direction or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are used merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the relevant devices or elements must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention. Furthermore, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0043] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of this invention, ordinal numbers such as "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Moreover, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can also refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0044] As indicated in the background art, the lid of the detergent dispensing device in existing washing machines cannot avoid jamming while ensuring stability in the open state. The aim is to address this by using an auxiliary lid, which ensures that when both the main lid and the auxiliary lid are open, if the main lid is not closed and the container is pushed, other structures such as the tabletop and casing above the container will first contact the auxiliary lid and push it to move. The movement of the auxiliary lid can cause the main lid to flip and close, and finally the container can retract into the garment processing equipment. This avoids the problem of the main lid jamming due to interference with other structures above it. In addition, the auxiliary lid also shifts the center of gravity backward after the main lid is opened, improving the stability of the main lid in the open state, thus achieving the goal of avoiding jamming while ensuring the stability of the main lid in the open state.

[0045] First refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the garment processing device of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the first usage state of the treatment agent dispensing device of the present invention. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clothing treatment device of the present invention includes a washing machine 1, a dryer 2, a connector 3, and a treatment agent dispensing device 11. The dryer 2 is located above the washing machine 1. The connector 3 is located between the dryer 2 and the washing machine 1 and is used to install the dryer 2 onto the washing machine 1. The front part of the bottom wall of the connector 3 protrudes beyond the front wall of the tabletop 12 of the washing machine 1 and forms an interference angle 4. The treatment agent dispensing device 11 is located below the tabletop 12 and is used to dispense the treatment agent into the outer drum 13 of the washing machine 1. The tabletop 12 is located on the top of the casing of the washing machine 1.

[0046] Then refer to Figures 1-6 , Figures 1-6 Six different usage states of the treatment agent dispensing device of the present invention are shown. For example... Figure 1-6As shown, the treatment agent dispensing device 11 includes a box body 111, a main cover 112, and an auxiliary cover 113. A receiving cavity 114 is formed inside the box body 111 for storing the clothing treatment agent. A filling port 115 is provided on the top wall of the box body 111, communicating with the receiving cavity 114, allowing the treatment agent to be poured into the receiving cavity 114 through the filling port 115. The first end of the main cover 112 is hinged to the box body 111, and the main cover 112 is configured to cover the filling port. The auxiliary cover 113 is hinged to the main cover 112 at its first end. When the auxiliary cover 113 is open, it is located on the side of the main cover 112 facing away from the filling port 115. When both the main cover 112 and the auxiliary cover 113 are flipped open to their maximum angle, the projection of the second end of the auxiliary cover 113 opposite to its first end on the horizontal plane extends beyond the projection of the second end of the main cover 112 opposite to its first end on the horizontal plane, and the auxiliary cover 113 can abut against the front wall of the table panel 12.

[0047] When adding laundry detergent by pulling the dispenser 11 out of the washing machine 1, the main cover 112 needs to be opened. Since the front of the bottom wall of the connector 3 protrudes beyond the front wall of the washing machine 1's countertop 12, forming an interference angle 4, in the prior art, if the user pushes the dispenser 111 back without closing the main cover 112, the main cover 112 will enter the interference angle 4. Figure 7 As shown, if the box 111 is pushed further, the main cover 112 will interfere with the bottom wall of the connector 3, making it impossible to push further and potentially damaging the main cover 112. This invention addresses this by providing an auxiliary cover 113. Since the auxiliary cover 113 is located on the side of the main cover 112 facing away from the filling port 115 when open, the projection of the second end of the auxiliary cover 113 on the horizontal plane extends beyond the projection of the second end of the main cover 112 on the horizontal plane. Therefore, when both the main cover 112 and the auxiliary cover 113 are open, the state is as follows: Figure 2 As shown; if the main cover 112 is not closed and the box 111 is pushed, the front wall of the platform 12 above the box 111 will first contact the auxiliary cover 113, and the state at this time is as follows. Figure 3 As shown; continue pushing the box 111, the front wall of the tabletop 12 pushes the auxiliary cover 113 to move, the movement of the auxiliary cover 113 causes the main cover 112 to flip, until the main cover 112 is pushed to a vertical position, the state at this time is as follows. Figure 4 As shown; continue pushing the box 111, after the main cover 112 flips to a vertical position, the center of gravity of the main cover 112 and the auxiliary cover 113 gradually shifts towards the pouring port 115, and the state at this time is as follows. Figure 5 As shown; the main cover 112 accelerates downward under the action of gravity and eventually closes on the filling port 115, at which point it is as follows. Figure 6As shown; after the auxiliary cover 113 rotates with the main cover 112 until it is in a vertical position, it will also accelerate downward under the action of gravity and eventually close on the mounting hole 1121. Finally, the box body 111 also retracts into the clothing processing equipment under the action of thrust, avoiding the problem of the main cover 112 entering the interference angle 4 and interfering with the bottom wall of the connector 3 and getting stuck. The state at this time is as follows. Figure 1 As shown; in addition, the auxiliary cover 113 also causes the center of gravity of the main cover 112 to shift to the side away from the filling port 115 after the main cover 112 is opened, which improves the stability of the main cover 112 in the open state and avoids the problem of jamming while ensuring the stability of the main cover 112 in the open state.

[0048] It should be noted that the garment treatment agent can be detergent, fabric softener, disinfectant, antistatic agent, etc. Multiple receiving cavities 114 can be provided, each for storing different garment treatment agents. Multiple filling ports 115 can also be provided, with each filling port 115 corresponding to a receiving cavity 114. Each filling port 115 can have a main cap 112, or multiple filling ports 115 can share a single main cap 112. Alternatively, some filling ports 115 can have a main cap 112 while others do not. Those skilled in the art can adjust this as needed. Furthermore, although the above combines... Figure 1 The description states that a dryer 2 is provided above the washing machine 1, and a connector 3 is provided between the dryer 2 and the washing machine 1. The treatment agent dispensing device 11 is located below the countertop 12. However, this is not a limitation. Another washing machine 1 or other items such as cabinets can also be placed above the washing machine 1. The treatment agent dispensing device 11 can also be located in other positions on the casing of the washing machine 1. No specific limitation is made here.

[0049] See below. Figures 8-10 , Figure 8 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of the treatment agent dispensing device of the present invention. Figure 9 yes Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the AA cross-sectional structure. Figure 10 This is a structural schematic diagram of the main cover and auxiliary cover of the present invention. Figures 8-10As shown, the main cover 112 is provided with a mounting hole 1121, and the auxiliary cover 113 is located in the mounting hole 1121 when closed. The mounting hole 1121 can reduce the weight of the main cover 112 and also prevent the auxiliary cover 113 from protruding outside the mounting hole 1121 when closed, thus avoiding interference with other structures above it after the auxiliary cover 113 is closed. Optionally, the mounting hole 1121 is a stepped hole, and the auxiliary cover 113 is placed on the step of the stepped hole. The auxiliary cover 113 is placed on the step, which can completely cover the mounting hole 1121 and prevent dust and water from entering the receiving cavity 114 from the mounting hole 1121 and affecting the normal use of the treatment agent. The mounting hole 1121 can also be a through hole. Correspondingly, a sealing structure is provided on the outer periphery of the auxiliary cover 113. The sealing structure is located between the auxiliary cover 113 and the main cover 112 or overlaps the main cover 112 to prevent dust and water from entering the receiving cavity 114 from the mounting hole 1121 and affecting the normal use of the treatment agent.

[0050] Optionally, the first end of the auxiliary cover 113 is hinged to the middle of the main cover 112. Since the longer the auxiliary cover 113 is, the closer the first end of the auxiliary cover 113 is to the second end of the main cover 112, the greater the change in the center of gravity of the main cover 112 caused by the auxiliary cover 113. Therefore, by hinged to the middle of the main cover 112, the length of the auxiliary cover 113 can be maximized while minimizing the distance between the first end of the auxiliary cover 113 and the second end of the main cover 112 without the auxiliary cover 113 extending beyond the main cover 112, thereby further improving the stability of the main cover 112 in the open state.

[0051] Possibly, the main cover 112 has a first shaft 1122 on both sides of its first end, and the box body 111 has a first hole. The first shaft 1122 passes through the first hole and is rotatably connected to it. The main cover 112 has a second hole in its middle, and the auxiliary cover 113 has a second shaft on both sides of its first end. The second shaft passes through the second hole and is rotatably connected to it. A groove 1111 may be provided on the top wall of the box body 111 at the second end of the main cover 112 to facilitate the user opening the main cover 112.

[0052] Those skilled in the art will understand that although the above description states that the auxiliary cover 113 is hinged to the middle of the main cover 112, this is not a limitation. The auxiliary cover 113 can also be hinged to other positions on the main cover 112, as long as the projection of the second end of the auxiliary cover 113 on the horizontal plane extends beyond the projection of the second end of the main cover 112 on the horizontal plane when both the main cover 112 and the auxiliary cover 113 are flipped open to their maximum angle. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed, without departing from the principle of the present invention, and all of these adjustments fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0053] Furthermore, although it is described above that the main cover 112 is provided with a mounting hole 1121 and the auxiliary cover 113 is located in the mounting hole 1121 when closed, this is not a limitation. The main cover 112 may not be provided with a mounting hole 1121, and the auxiliary cover 113 may overlap the main cover 112 when closed.

[0054] See below. Figure 9 and Figure 11 , Figure 11 This is a structural schematic diagram of the main cover and auxiliary cover of the present invention from another angle. (See diagram below.) Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the maximum flip angle of the main cover 112 is the first angle 116, which is the angle between the closed and fully open states of the main cover 112. The maximum flip angle of the auxiliary cover 113 is the second angle 117, which is the angle between the closed and fully open states of the auxiliary cover 113 when the main cover 112 is stationary. The values ​​of the first angle 116 and the second angle 117 can be set differently as needed. The first angle 116 can be set within the range of greater than or equal to 90° and less than 180°, which can improve the stability of the main cover 112 in the open state. Since the auxiliary cover 113 is hinged to the main cover 112, the second angle 117 is greater than 0°. The second angle 117 can be set within the range of greater than 0° and less than or equal to 90°, so that when the main cover 112 is closed, the flip angle of the auxiliary cover 113 is less than or equal to 90°, which helps the auxiliary cover 113 to rotate downward under the action of gravity and return to the position of closing the filling port 115. Optionally, the sum of the first angle 116 and the second angle 117 is equal to 180°, so that no matter how large the maximum flip angle of the main cover 112 is, when both the main cover 112 and the auxiliary cover 113 are in the open state, the auxiliary cover 113 can be in a horizontal position. This improves the conversion efficiency of the pushing force when the table panel or housing above the box 111 contacts the auxiliary cover 113 and moves it under the action of the pushing force, while further avoiding jamming. For example, the first angle 116 can be 110° and the second angle 117 can be 70°, or the first angle 116 can be 100° and the second angle 117 can be 80°. The present invention does not impose any particular limitation on the specific values ​​of the first angle 116 and the second angle 117.

[0055] It should be noted that the above embodiments are merely used to illustrate the principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above embodiments so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

[0056] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
