The housing 100 in the figure is a part of the dispenser housing, and the rest is not shown; the housing 100 is provided with a cover groove 110 which matches the washing machine cover 200. Generally, a matching rotating shaft structure is provided behind the cover groove 110 and the rinse agent cover 200 to realize the flipping and fixing of the detergent cover 200 on the housing 100. The cover groove 110 corresponds to the interior of the housing 100 for loading rinse agents such as rinse agent. The rinse agent cover 200 can be opened and the detergent can be put into the dispenser through the port provided on the cover groove 110. This is a prior art and will not be described in detail; the shape of the cover groove 110 matches the rinse agent cover 200, and the rinse agent cover 200 can be embedded in the cover groove 110 and connected to the housing, so that the rinse agent cover 200 will not protrude from the surface of the housing 100 when it is closed.

[0025] Furthermore, a card slot 120 is provided at the front end of the housing 100, and the card slot 120 is formed on the side wall of the front end of the housing 100. The rinse agent cover 200 is provided with an elastic card buckle 210 that can be snapped and connected to the card slot 120. The elastic card buckle 210 includes a card buckle body 220, a bending portion 230 connected between the card buckle body 220 and the rinse agent cover 200, and a pressing portion 240 at the top of the card buckle body 220. When the user presses the pressing portion 240 and pushes it inward, the card buckle body 220 can be retracted due to the elastically bendable structure of the bending portion 230. At this time, the elastic card buckle 210 and the card slot 120 are unlocked, and the detergent cover 200 is released. The cover 200 can be flipped open smoothly; the pressing portion 240 is formed by extending outward from the top of the buckle body 220 in an arc shape, the pressing portion 240 is connected to the buckle body 220 and protrudes in the direction of the card slot 120, and the pressing portion 240 protrudes from the side of the buckle body 220 close to the card slot 120 by 1.5 mm.

[0026] Furthermore, the pressing portion 240 is provided with an outer end surface 241 on one side close to 120, and the outer end surface 241 is a vertical plane. In other embodiments, the outer end surface 241 may be a curved surface structure. The structure of the outer end surface 241 facilitates the user to contact the pressing portion 240 for pressing, improves the contact surface between the pressing portion 240 and the user's finger, avoids the user's hand from being hurt, and facilitates the user to apply force when pressing, so as to facilitate the unlocking of the elastic buckle 210 and the card slot 120; the buckle body 220 is provided with first locking portions 221 on both sides, and the first locking portions 221 on both sides are opposite to each other. The second locking parts 121 that can be locked with the first locking part 221 are respectively arranged on both sides of the buckle body 220, and the second locking parts 121 on both sides of the slot 120 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the slot 120. The first locking part 221 and the second locking part 121 are respectively integrally formed on the buckle body 220 and the slot 120; the first locking part 221 has a first locking surface 2211 at the top end, and the second locking part 121 has a second locking surface 1211 at the bottom end. The first locking part 221 is close to the second locking part 121 on one side. A first guiding slope 2212 is provided, and a second guiding slope 1212 which can cooperate with the first guiding slope 2212 is provided on a side of the second locking portion 121 close to the first locking portion 221; when the user presses the surface of the detergent cover 200 to close the cover groove 110, the first guiding slope 2212 and the second guiding slope 1212 contact, so that the buckle body 220 is guided to retract backward, and the first locking portion 121 reaches below the second locking portion 121. The buckle body 220 is rebounded forward by the force of the bending portion 230, and the first locking surface 2211 The first locking portion 221 and the second locking portion 121 are in conflict with each other, and the first locking portion 221 and the second locking portion 121 are locked. At this time, the detergent cover 200 is fixedly closed on the shell 100; when the detergent cover 200 needs to be opened, the pressing portion 240 is pushed, and the buckle body 220 elastically shrinks, and the first locking surface 2211 and the second locking surface 1211 are no longer in conflict with each other. When the buckle body 220 rebounds forward, the detergent cover 200 is lifted up by the guidance of the first guide slope 2212 and the second guide slope 1212, and the detergent cover 200 can be opened smoothly at this time.

[0027] Furthermore, the cross-section of the bending portion 220 is a "U"-shaped structure. When the buckle body 220 is pressed, it can move in the direction away from the card slot 120 through the elastic deformation of the bending portion 230. This structure is convenient for the user to press the elastic buckle 210, and the rebound after unlocking is achieved through the force of the bending portion 230, so that the detergent cover 200 is lifted up through the cooperation of the first guide slope 2212 and the second guide slope 1212 to prevent it from being locked again; a clearance groove 111 matching the bending portion 230 is provided on the side of the cover groove 110 close to the card slot 120, and the clearance groove 111 can accommodate the bending portion 230 at the bottom of the elastic buckle 110 to prevent the bending portion 230 from pressing against the bottom surface of the cover groove 110 when the detergent cover 200 is closed, thereby ensuring that the detergent cover 200 can be smoothly closed.
