[0011] In the above-mentioned medicine supply device of the clothing processing equipment, a stop convex rib is also provided on the outer side of the bottom wall at the end of the rotation rib. When the medicine box and the base are tightened, the side of the limit plate abuts against the stop convex rib.

[0012] In the above-mentioned medicine supply device of the clothing processing equipment, an anti-fool protrusion for preventing the limit plate from reversing is further provided on the outer side of the bottom wall, and the anti-fool protrusion and the rotation rib are respectively located on both sides of the through hole.

[0013] In the above-mentioned medicine supply device of the clothes processing equipment, an operating groove is provided on the front side of the medicine box located at the opening of the concave cavity.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] A medicine supply device for a clothing treatment device includes a base and a medicine box, wherein the base has a concave cavity for accommodating the medicine box, one of the medicine box and the inner wall of the concave cavity is provided with a screw-on rib, and the other is provided with a guide groove for the screw-on rib to enter and exit, and a screw-on groove for limiting the screw-on rib, and the relative rotation of the medicine box in the concave cavity causes the screw-on rib to be screwed into the screw-on groove through the guide groove, or to be screwed out of the screw-on groove to the guide groove. The technical solution has the following technical effects:

[0016] The utility model arranges the medicine supply device of the clothing processing equipment into a structure in which the base and the medicine box are rotatably engaged, so that when the medicine box fails, the user only needs to rotate the old medicine box to make the screw-on rib slide from one end of the screw-on groove to the guide groove connected to the other end thereof and disengage from the medicine box through the guide groove, and then align and plug the guide groove on the replaced new medicine box with the screw-on rib on the concave cavity, and then rotate the medicine box to make the screw-on rib in the guide groove screw into the screw-on groove, so that the base limits the medicine box through the matching screw-on rib and screw-on groove, so as to prevent the medicine box from freely escaping from the concave cavity along the axial direction of the concave cavity, thereby ensuring that the medicine box is stably installed in the concave cavity of the base. Because the service life of the medicine box is short, when the user replaces the medicine box regularly, the rotating and locking structure of the base and the medicine box allows the user to install and remove the medicine box and the base by simply rotating the medicine box, which is more convenient for user operation. Especially when the medicine supply device is installed as a whole deep in the washing barrel of the clothing processing equipment, the rotating and locking structure can greatly reduce the difficulty of replacement for the user and improve the user's operating experience.

[0017] The base includes an annular wall and a bottom wall, which form a concave cavity. The screw-in ribs are arranged on the inner side of the annular wall so that the user can quickly align the guide groove on the medicine box with the screw-in ribs when replacing the medicine box, thereby reducing the difficulty of production and processing of the base.

[0018] A limiting buckle is also provided on the inner side of the annular wall, and a limiting slot that cooperates with the limiting buckle is provided on the medicine box. When the medicine box and the base are screwed together, the limiting buckle and the limiting slot are locked. When the medicine box and the base are installed in place, the limiting buckle is locked in the limiting slot, so that the medicine box is limited in the axial and circumferential directions through the cooperation of the two, so as to prevent the medicine box from freely escaping from the concave cavity along the axial direction or rotating due to the vibration of the clothing processing equipment or the collision of the clothing when the clothing processing equipment washes the clothes, causing the screwing rib to escape from the screwing slot and the guide slot, thereby ensuring the stable installation of the medicine box on the base, that is, ensuring the stable sterilization of the clothes by the medicine box.

[0019] The medicine box is also provided with an avoidance groove adjacent to the limit card slot. When the screwing rib is screwed from the guide groove into the screwing groove, the limit card buckle moves from the avoidance groove to the limit card slot. In the early stage of installing the medicine box, the setting of the avoidance groove on the medicine box can avoid the limit card buckle in the concave cavity, avoiding the limit card buckle from blocking the installation of the medicine box, making the user's installation process smoother.

[0020] A guide slope is provided on one side of the avoidance groove adjacent to the limit card slot, and the guide slope extends obliquely from the outer wall of the medicine box to the slot opening of the avoidance groove. When the limit card buckle slides from the avoidance groove to the limit card slot, it can first slide out of the avoidance groove along the guide slope, and then slide along the outer wall of the medicine box and snap into the limit card slot, so that the user can turn the medicine box more labor-saving and with a better hand feel.

[0021] The medicine box includes a box body and a limit plate spaced apart from the back of the box body, a through hole matching the limit plate is provided on the bottom wall, a spiral rib is provided on the outer side of the bottom wall, and the limit plate slides along the spiral rib on the outer side of the bottom wall, so that the screwing movement of the medicine box is accompanied by an axial displacement in the direction of the bottom wall. When the spiral rib is inserted and slides to the end where the guide groove is connected to the spiral groove, the limit plate passes through the through hole from the concave cavity to the outer side of the bottom wall, and the bottom wall is located in the installation gap between the back of the box body and the limit plate; when the spiral rib slides from the end where the spiral groove is connected to the guide groove to the other end, the limit plate slides along the guide inclined surface on the spiral rib on the outer side of the bottom wall, so that the medicine box moves along the central axis of the concave cavity toward the bottom wall while rotating, so that the end face of the box body is closely fitted with the bottom wall of the concave cavity, increasing the friction between the box body and the bottom wall of the concave cavity, so as to prevent the medicine box from rotating under the vibration of the clothing processing device, so that the installation between the medicine box and the base is more tight and reliable.

[0022] The outer side of the bottom wall is also provided with a stop convex rib at the end of the rotation rib. When the medicine box is tightened with the base, the side of the limit plate abuts against the stop convex rib. When the box body is rotated into place along the rotation rib, the side of the limit plate abuts against the stop convex rib to limit the limit plate, and at the same time, the user is prompted by hand that the rotation has been completed, thereby improving the operating experience.

[0023] The outer side of the bottom wall is also provided with an anti-fool protrusion for preventing the limit plate from reversing, and the anti-fool protrusion and the rotation rib are respectively located on both sides of the through hole. The anti-fool protrusion is used to prevent the limit plate passing through the through hole from reversing, ensuring that the medicine box can be quickly screwed into the concave cavity on the base, thereby improving the installation efficiency.

[0024] An operating slot is provided on the front of the medicine box at the opening of the cavity, so that the user can insert a coin or other easily available tools to drive the medicine box to rotate without protruding from the surface of the base. It is beautiful and easy for users to operate.

[0025] The utility model also provides a clothing processing device, including a washing tub and a pulsator installed at the bottom of the washing tub, and also including the above-mentioned agent supply device, wherein the base is arranged on the inner wall of the washing tub near the pulsator. Because the water level inside the washing tub is usually positively correlated with the number of clothes washed, that is, the more clothes washed, the higher the water level in the washing tub, so when the number of clothes washed is small, the water level inside the washing tub is low. In this embodiment, the agent supply device is arranged at a lower position of the inner wall of the washing tub, so that even if the water level inside the washing tub is low, the water flow can completely or partially immerse the agent supply device, thereby mixing the bactericide in the agent supply device with the water used to wash the clothes, ensuring that the agent supply device can stably sterilize the washed clothes regardless of the water level, and has better applicability.

[0026] In the above-mentioned clothing processing device, a water flow cavity connected to the concave cavity is formed between the base and the washing tub, and a first water flow hole for connecting the water flow cavity and the inside of the washing tub is provided on the base, and the first water flow hole is located below the medicine box. When washing clothes, the water in the washing tub flows into the water passage cavity through the first water passage hole, and then enters the concave cavity through the water passage cavity. Then the water in the concave cavity enters the medicine box arranged in the concave cavity to contact the bactericidal agent in the medicine box. The water mixed with the bactericidal agent enters the water passage cavity through the concave cavity again, and finally returns to the washing tub through the first water passage hole to sterilize the clothes. The water passage cavity is surrounded by the inner wall of the washing tub and the base, which reduces the processing difficulty of the base. By arranging the first water passage hole below the medicine box, even if the water level in the washing tub can only immerse a part of the medicine supply device, the water in the washing tub can also enter the water passage cavity through the first water passage hole to ensure that the water can contact the medicine box, that is, to ensure that the medicine supply device can stably sterilize the washed clothes.

[0027] In the above-mentioned clothes processing device, the base is further provided with a second water hole for connecting the water cavity and the inside of the washing tub, and the second water hole is located above the medicine box. The water flow in the washing tub can first enter the water cavity through the first water hole to mix with the bactericidal agent, and then flow back into the washing tub through the second water hole. Through the cooperation of the first water hole and the second water hole, the first water hole does not need to ensure water inlet and outlet at the same time, so that the water flow is smoother, ensuring that the water mixed with the bactericidal agent fully flows into the washing tub to achieve the sterilization of clothes.

[0028] The features and advantages of the present invention will be disclosed in detail in the following specific implementations and drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0046] Embodiment 1:

[0047] A medicine supply device for a clothes processing device, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it includes a base 200 and a medicine box 300, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the base 200 has a cavity 210, the opening of the cavity 210 faces forward to accommodate the medicine box 300, and a screw rib 221 is provided on the inner side wall of the cavity 210. Figure 3 As shown, a guide groove 311 and a screw-on groove 312 are provided on the outer wall of the medicine box 300, and the ends of the guide groove 311 and the screw-on groove 312 are connected and communicated, and the guide groove 311 is used for the screw-on rib 221 to enter and exit. When installing the medicine box 300 and the base 200, first align the guide groove 311 on the medicine box 300 with the screw-on rib 221 on the concave cavity 210, so that the screw-on rib 221 is inserted into the guide groove 311, and then rotate the medicine box 300 so that the screw-on rib 221 in the guide groove 311 is screwed into the screw-on groove 312. The screw-on groove 312 is used to limit the screw-on rib 221 to prevent the medicine box 300 from freely escaping from the concave cavity 210 along the axial direction of the concave cavity 210. Of course, it can be understood that the guide groove 311 and the screw-on groove 312 on the medicine box 300 in this embodiment can also exchange positions with the screw-on rib 221 on the base 200, that is, the screw-on rib 221 is arranged on the outer wall of the medicine box 300, and the guide groove 311 and the screw-on groove 312 are arranged on the inner wall of the cavity 210.

[0048] The utility model sets the medicine supply device of the clothing treatment equipment into a structure in which the base 200 and the medicine box 300 are rotatably engaged, so that when the old medicine box 300 becomes invalid, the user only needs to rotate the old medicine box 300 to make the screw-on rib 221 slide from one end of the screw-on groove 312 to the guide groove 311 connected to the other end thereof, and disengage from the medicine box 300 through the guide groove 311, and then replace the new medicine box 300 with the guide groove 312. 11 is aligned and plugged with the screw-in rib 221 on the concave cavity 210, and then the medicine box 300 is rotated so that the screw-in rib 221 in the guide groove 311 is screwed into the screw-in groove 312, so that the base 200 can limit the medicine box 300 through the matching screw-in rib 221 and the screw-in groove 312 to prevent the medicine box 300 from freely escaping from the concave cavity 210 along the axial direction of the concave cavity 210, thereby ensuring that the medicine box 300 is stably installed in the concave cavity 210 of the base 200. Because the service life of the medicine box 300 is relatively short, when the user replaces the medicine box 300 regularly, the rotating and locking structure of the base 200 and the medicine box 300 allows the user to install and remove the medicine box 300 and the base 200 by simply rotating the medicine box 300, which is more convenient for user operation. Especially when the medicine supply device is installed as a whole deep in the washing barrel of the clothing processing equipment, the rotating and locking structure can greatly reduce the difficulty of replacement for the user and enhance the user's operating experience.

[0049] In this embodiment, the screw-on groove 312 extends circumferentially on the outer side wall of the medicine box 300, and the guide groove 311 extends axially along the medicine box 300 to form a transition corner between the guide groove 311 and the screw-on groove 312; during installation, the user can first push the medicine box 300 into the concave cavity 210 along the central axis of the concave cavity 210 until the screw-on rib 221 slides along the guide groove 311 to the connection between the guide groove 311 and the screw-on groove 312. At this time, the medicine box 300 is embedded in the concave cavity 210, and then the medicine box 300 is rotated to make the screw-on rib 221 slide along the screw-on groove 312, and then the screw-on rib 221 slides from one end connected to the screw-on groove 312 and the guide groove 311 to the other end to limit the axial position of the medicine box 300.

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, the base 200 includes an annular wall 220 and a bottom wall 230, which together enclose a concave cavity 210. The screwing rib 221 is arranged on the inner side of the annular wall 220, so that when the user replaces the medicine box 300, the guide groove 311 on the medicine box 300 can be quickly aligned with the screwing rib 221, which also reduces the difficulty of production and processing of the base 200. A limit buckle 222 is also arranged on the inner side of the annular wall 220, as shown in FIG. Figure 5As shown, a limiting slot 313 is provided on the medicine box 300, and the limiting slot 313 can cooperate with the limiting buckle 222. When the medicine box 300 and the base 200 are installed in place (that is, the medicine box 300 and the base 200 are screwed together), the limiting buckle 222 is clamped in the limiting slot 313, so that the medicine box 300 is limited axially and circumferentially through the cooperation of the two, so as to avoid the medicine box 300 from freely escaping from the concave cavity 210 axially or rotating due to the vibration of the clothing processing equipment or the collision of the clothes with the medicine box 300 when the clothing is washed in the clothing processing equipment, causing the screw-in rib 221 to escaping from the screw-in groove 312 and the guide groove 311, thereby ensuring the stable installation of the medicine box 300 on the base 200, that is, ensuring the stable sterilization of the clothes by the medicine box 300. Of course, it is understandable that the limiting slot 313 and the limiting buckle 222 in this embodiment can also exchange positions, that is, the limiting slot 313 is set on the annular wall 220, and the limiting buckle 222 is set on the medicine box 300.

[0051] An avoidance groove 314 is also provided on the medicine box 300, and the avoidance groove 314 is arranged adjacent to the limit card slot 313. When the screw-on rib 221 is located in the guide groove 311, the limit buckle 222 is located in the avoidance groove 314. When the screw-on rib 221 slides from the guide groove 311 to the other end of the screw-on groove 312, the limit buckle 222 moves from the avoidance groove 314 to the limit card slot 313. In the initial stage of installing the medicine box 300, the setting of the avoidance groove 314 on the medicine box 300 can form an avoidance for the limit buckle 222 in the concave cavity 210, thereby preventing the limit buckle 222 from blocking the installation of the medicine box 300, making the user's installation process smoother. In order to save effort when the user rotates the medicine box 300, a guide slope 315 is provided on the side adjacent to the avoidance groove 314 and the limiting card slot 313 in this embodiment. The guide slope 315 extends obliquely from the outer wall of the medicine box 300 to the notch of the avoidance groove 314, so that when the limiting buckle 222 slides from the avoidance groove 314 to the limiting card slot 313, it can first slide out of the avoidance groove 314 along the guide slope 315, and then slide along the outer wall of the medicine box 300 and get stuck in the limiting card slot 313, so that the user feels better.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the front side of the medicine box 300 (i.e., the side of the medicine box 300 located at the opening of the cavity 210) is provided with an operating groove 316, so that the user can insert a coin or other easily available tools to drive the medicine box 300 to rotate. There is no need for the medicine box 300 to protrude from the surface of the base 200 for the user to hold. This is not only beautiful, but also convenient for the user to operate.

[0053] It can be understood that the medicine box 300 in this embodiment contains a silver-containing compound. When the clothing treatment device washes clothes, water flows into the medicine box 300 through the through hole provided on the medicine box 300, and becomes washing water containing silver ions after contacting with the silver-containing compound. The washing water containing silver ions flows out of the medicine box 300 and enters the washing tub, repeatedly contacts with the clothes, and achieves the effect of sterilization. The clothing treatment device in this embodiment can be any one of a washing machine and a washing and drying machine.

[0054] Embodiment 2:

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, based on the first embodiment, the medicine box 300 is configured to include a box body 310 and a limiting plate 320. The limiting plate 320 is in a strip shape, and the middle portion of the bar-shaped limiting plate 320 is installed on the back of the box body 310 through a fixing column 330, so that the limiting plate 320 is parallel to the back of the box body 310 and is spaced apart, that is, a constant installation gap is formed between the limiting plate 320 and the back of the box body 310.

[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a through hole 231 is provided on the bottom wall 230 of the concave cavity 210, and the through hole 231 matches the limiting plate 320 so that the limiting plate 320 can pass through. A spiral rib 232 is provided on the outer side of the bottom wall 230 (that is, the side of the bottom wall 230 away from the concave cavity 210), and the spiral rib 232 is arranged on the side of the through hole 231. When the screw-on rib 221 is inserted into and slides to the end where the guide groove 311 is connected to the screw-on groove 312, the limiting plate 320 passes through the through hole 231 from the concave cavity 210 to the outside of the bottom wall 230, and the bottom wall 230 is located in the installation gap between the back side of the box body 310 and the limiting plate 320; when the screw-on rib 221 slides from the end where the screw-on groove 312 is connected to the guide groove 311 to the other end, the limiting plate 320 slides along the inclined surface on the screw-on rib 232 on the outside of the bottom wall 230, so that the medicine box 300 moves along the central axis of the concave cavity 210 toward the bottom wall 230 while rotating, so that the end face of the box body 310 is closely fitted with the bottom wall 230 of the concave cavity 210, thereby increasing the friction between the box body 310 and the bottom wall 230 of the concave cavity 210, so as to prevent the medicine box 300 from rotating under the vibration of the clothing processing equipment, so that the installation between the medicine box 300 and the base 200 is tighter and more reliable.

[0057] In this embodiment, a stop rib 233 is further provided on the outer side of the bottom wall 230. The stop rib 233 is located at one end of the screw-up rib 232 away from the through hole 231. When the box body 310 is rotated into position along the screw-up rib 232 (i.e., the medicine box 300 is screwed into the base 200), the side of the limit plate 320 abuts against the stop rib 233 to limit the limit plate 320, and at the same time, the user is prompted by hand that the rotation has been completed, thereby improving the operation experience. A foolproof protrusion 234 is further provided on the outer side of the bottom wall 230. The foolproof protrusion 234 and the screw-up rib 232 are respectively located on both sides of the through hole 231. The foolproof protrusion 234 is used to prevent the limit plate 320 passing through the through hole 231 from reversing, thereby ensuring that the medicine box 300 can be quickly screwed into the concave cavity 210 on the base 200, thereby improving the installation efficiency.

[0058] Embodiment three:

[0059] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that, in this embodiment, the guide groove and the screw-on groove are smoothly connected along a spiral trajectory; during installation, the user aligns the opening of the guide groove with the screw-on rib, and directly rotates the medicine box, and the screw-on rib can slide along the guide groove and the screw-on groove in turn until the screw-on rib abuts against the end of the screw-on groove. During this process, the medicine box translates into the concave cavity along the central axis of the concave cavity to achieve embedded installation of the medicine box and the concave cavity.

[0060] Embodiment 4:

[0061] A clothes processing device, such as Figure 7 As shown, the washing tub 110 and the impeller 120 installed at the bottom of the washing tub 110 are included, and the agent supply device in the first, second or third embodiment is also included. The agent supply device is installed on the inner wall of the washing tub 110 near the impeller 120, and the base 200 is fixed on the inner wall. Because the water level inside the washing tub 110 is usually positively correlated with the number of clothes washed, that is, the more clothes washed, the higher the water level inside the washing tub 110, so when the number of clothes washed is small, the water level inside the washing tub 110 is low. In this embodiment, the agent supply device is arranged at a lower position of the inner wall of the washing tub 110, so that even if the water level inside the washing tub 110 is low, the water flow can completely or partially immerse the agent supply device, thereby mixing the bactericide in the agent supply device with the water for washing clothes, ensuring that the agent supply device can stably sterilize the washed clothes regardless of the water level, and the applicability is better.

[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the base 200 bulges toward a side away from its installation position to enclose a water passage cavity 235 between the base 200 and the washing bucket 110. The water passage cavity 235 is connected to the concave cavity. A first water passage hole 236 is provided on the base 200. The first water passage hole 236 passes through the base 200 to connect the water passage cavity 235 and the interior of the washing bucket 110. The first water passage hole 236 is located below the medicine box 300. When washing clothes, the water in the washing tub 110 flows into the water passage cavity 235 through the first water passage hole 236, and then enters the concave cavity through the water passage cavity 235. Then the water in the concave cavity enters the medicine box 300 arranged in the concave cavity to contact the bactericidal agent in the medicine box 300. The water mixed with the bactericidal agent enters the water passage cavity 235 through the concave cavity again, and finally returns to the washing tub 110 through the first water passage hole 236 to achieve sterilization of the clothes. The water passage cavity 235 is surrounded by the inner wall of the washing tub 110 and the base 200, which reduces the processing difficulty of the base 200. By arranging the first water passage hole 236 below the medicine box 300, even if the water level in the washing tub 110 can only immerse part of the medicine supply device, the water in the washing tub 110 can also enter the water passage cavity 235 through the first water passage hole 236 to ensure that the water can contact the medicine box 300, that is, to ensure that the medicine supply device can stably sterilize the washed clothes.

[0063] In this embodiment, a second water hole 237 penetrating the base 200 is further provided on the base 200. The second water hole 237 connects the water cavity 235 and the interior of the washing tub 110. The water in the washing tub 110 can first enter the water cavity 235 through the first water hole 236 to mix with the bactericidal agent, and then flow back into the washing tub 110 through the second water hole 237. Through the cooperation of the first water hole 236 and the second water hole 237, the first water hole 236 does not need to ensure water inlet and outlet at the same time, so that the water flow is smoother, ensuring that the water mixed with the bactericidal agent fully flows into the washing tub 110 to achieve the sterilization of the clothes.

All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
