Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of washing machines, in particular to a laundry liquid input box structure of a washing machine. Background Art

[0002] A washing machine is a common household appliance. A laundry detergent box is a structural component installed on the washing machine and used to store laundry detergent. It is usually located on the top or side of the washing machine and is designed with a special inlet and storage chamber. The laundry detergent box can be pulled out when in use, making it convenient to add laundry detergent to the box. The laundry detergent in the box can be sucked into the interior of the washing machine under the action of a siphon structure or a small suction pump, and the amount of laundry detergent input can be accurately controlled.

[0003] At present, some laundry detergent input boxes are provided with a flip cover at the input port to prevent the laundry detergent in the laundry detergent input box from leaking. However, in actual use, factors such as vibration of the washing machine often cause the cover to become loose, thereby destroying the sealing effect of the cover on the input port. Once the seal fails, the laundry detergent is likely to overflow, which not only causes a waste of laundry detergent, but also may interfere with the normal use of the washing machine, and even bring unnecessary cleaning burdens to the user. In view of this, we propose a laundry detergent input box structure for a washing machine. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] This embodiment provides a technical solution:

[0028] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 , a laundry detergent input box structure of a washing machine, comprising a laundry detergent input box body 1. The laundry detergent input box body 1 comprises an outer cover plate 10, a front end surface of which is fixed with an input box 12, which is fixedly connected to the outer cover plate 10 by bolts; two storage chambers 125 for storing laundry detergent and softener are provided inside the input box 12; an input port 123 communicating with the storage chamber 125 is provided at the top rear end of the input box 12; two grooves 121 are also provided at the top of the input box 12, a strip groove 124 is provided at the rear end of the groove 121, and the strip groove 124 is communicated with the input port 123; two guide rods 13 are fixed in the grooves 121, the guide rods 13 are tightly bonded to the grooves 121, and springs 14 are sleeved on the guide rods 13; a slide plate 15 is also slidably mounted on the two guide rods 13, and the rear end of the spring 14 is pressed against the slide plate 15; a baffle 16 is fixed at the rear end of the slide plate 15, and the baffle 16 passes through the strip groove 124 and blocks the input port 123.

[0029] In this embodiment, a notch 161 is provided at the rear end of the baffle 16, and a plurality of anti-slip grooves 162 are provided at the bottom of the notch 161. The notch 161 facilitates the horizontal movement of the baffle 16, and facilitates the baffle 16 to be separated from the input port 123 to put in the laundry detergent.

[0030] In this embodiment, the slide plate 15 and the baffle plate 16 are integrally formed, and both the slide plate 15 and the baffle plate 16 are made of plastic. The integrally formed slide plate 15 and the baffle plate 16 have better connection strength, ensuring the stable use of the slide plate 15 and the baffle plate 16, while the slide plate 15 and the baffle plate 16 made of plastic have the advantage of being easy to process.

[0031] In this embodiment, two symmetrical drain ports 126 are installed on the front end of the input box 12, and the drain ports 126 are connected to the corresponding storage chambers 125. The arrangement of the drain ports 126 facilitates the discharge of the laundry detergent in the storage chamber 125.

[0032] In this embodiment, guide rails 122 are installed at the top of the left and right side walls of the input box 12, and the guide rails 122 and the input box 12 are an integrally formed structure. The setting of the guide rails 122 facilitates the use of the input box 12 with the washing machine, and improves the stability and smoothness of the input box 12 when it is pulled out.

[0033] In this embodiment, a handle groove 101 is provided on the rear end surface of the outer cover plate 10, and the outer cover plate 10 is made of plastic material. The setting of the handle groove 101 is convenient for users to take and put, and improves the convenience of operation.

[0034] In this embodiment, the front end surface of the outer cover plate 10 is fixed with a clamp 11 at both ends, and the clamp 11 is a plastic product. The arrangement of the clamp 11 facilitates the fixing of the outer cover plate 10 to the washing machine and ensures the stability of the laundry liquid input box body 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the inlet 123 is circular, and the diameter of the inlet 123 is smaller than the width of the baffle 16. This design facilitates the baffle 16 to stably block the inlet 123, thereby ensuring the blocking effect of the inlet 123.

[0036] It can be understood that when pushing the baffle 16, in order to prevent the input box 12 from being pushed synchronously into the washing machine, the user can push the baffle 16 with one finger and hold the outer cover 10 with the other finger, thereby avoiding pushing the input box 12 while pushing the baffle 16; and the elastic force of the spring 14 set in this embodiment is relatively small, which can ensure that the elastic force is applied to the slide plate 15 and the baffle 16, and also make the slide plate 15 and the baffle 16 easier to be pushed, meeting the use requirements.

[0037] It should be added that the drain port 126 in this embodiment is connected to the liquid inlet of the suction pump installed inside the washing machine through a hose. This design is conducive to transporting the laundry liquid in the storage chamber 125 to the inside of the washing machine through the suction pump, which is convenient for washing clothes.

[0038] When adding laundry detergent, the user first inserts a finger into the notch 161 and pushes it, and the baffle 16 is forced to move forward, and the baffle 16 drives the slide plate 15 to move forward along the two guide rods 13, and the spring 14 is compressed by the slide plate 15. When the baffle 16 is separated from the input port 123, the user can put the laundry detergent into the storage chamber 125 through the input port 123;

[0039] When the washing machine vibrates during operation, the laundry detergent in the storage chamber 125 oscillates synchronously, and under the shielding of the baffle 16 , the laundry detergent is difficult to overflow through the input port 123 .

[0040] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only preferred examples of the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection of the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
