[0048] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0049] When washing clothes, existing clothing processing equipment usually puts detergents and other detergents directly into the clothing processing chamber of the clothing processing equipment, or puts the detergents into the delivery component and then washes them away with tap water. This method cannot fully dissolve and foam the detergents, and the detergent utilization rate is poor, which will affect the cleaning effect of the clothing processing equipment and the user experience.

[0050] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 12 The delivery component according to the embodiment of the present utility model is described.

[0051] According to the utility model, the dispensing assembly 1 comprises a foam generating device 120 and a foam dispensing device 16 . The foam generating device 120 is provided with a liquid inlet 121 and an air suction channel 123 . The foam dispensing device 16 is connected to the foam generating device and is suitable for dispensing the foam generated by the foam generating device 120 .

[0052] According to the foam delivery assembly of the utility model, a foam generating device 120 and a foam delivery device 16 are provided, wherein the foam generating device 120 is mainly used to generate foam; and the foam delivery device 16 is mainly used to deliver the foam mixture, but a certain amount of foam can also be generated in the foam delivery device 16. Specifically, the foam generating device 120 is provided with a liquid inlet 121 and an air suction channel 123, wherein the liquid inlet 121 can be connected to an external structure for storing detergent, that is, detergent can be added to the inside of the foam generating device 120 through the liquid inlet 121; the air suction channel 123 connects the foam generating device 120 with the external air, and when the detergent enters the foam generating device 120 through the liquid inlet 121, the air suction channel 123 can introduce air into the foam generating device 120, and at this time, the detergent, water and air are mixed inside the foam generating device 120 to generate foam. The mixed liquid containing foam can flow into the foam delivery device 16 through the outlet of the foam generating device 120. After entering the foam delivery device 16, the mixed liquid can be foamed for a second time and finally delivered to a specific area through the outlet of the foam delivery device 16 for cleaning the laundry.

[0053] The foam delivery component cooperates with the foam generating device 120 and the foam delivery device 16 to make the detergent foam multiple times before being used for washing. The foam-containing detergent mixture can increase the contact area with the objects to be washed, resulting in better washing effect, thereby increasing the utilization rate of the detergent and the cleaning effect of the foam delivery component.

[0054] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the foam generating device 120 includes a main flow path 1200, which connects the inlet and outlet of the foam generating device 120, and an air intake port 122 connected to the outside is formed on the main flow path 1200. One end of the air intake channel 123 is connected to the air intake port 122 of the main flow path 1200, and the other end is connected to the outside of the foam delivery component.

[0055] The foam generating device 120 is provided with a main flow path 1200, which is the main body of the foam generating device 120. The main flow path 1200 connects the inlet and outlet of the foam generating device 120. The main flow path 1200 is provided with an air inlet 122, which can be connected to the external air through the air inlet channel 123 of the foam generating device 120. It can also be understood that one end of the air inlet channel 123 is connected to the air inlet 122, and the other end of the air inlet channel 123 is connected to the external air. When the washing material is put into the main flow path 1200, the washing material flowing into the main flow can be mixed with the water entering the main flow path 1200 and the air entering the air inlet 122 to foam, and the mixed liquid mixed with foam can be used to clean the objects to be washed after flowing out through the outlet of the foam generating device 120. The setting of the main flow path 1200 provides space for the mixed liquid to foam, so that the washing material, water and air can be fully mixed, the foaming efficiency is improved, and then the washing effect of the foam delivery component is improved.

[0056] In some embodiments, the cleaning substance may be a detergent, a softener, a bactericide, or other functional preparations for cleaning.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the main flow path 1200 includes a first section 1201 and a second section 1202, the first section 1201 is connected to the inlet of the foam generating device 120; the second section 1202 is connected to the first section 1201, and the second section 1202 is provided with an air intake port 122 and a liquid inlet 121; wherein the diameter of the second section 1202 is smaller than the diameter of the first section 1201.

[0058] Specifically, a first section 1201 and a second section 1202 that are connected to each other are provided on the main flow path 1200, wherein the first section 1201 is connected to the inlet of the foam generating device 120; the second section 1203 is connected to the outlet of the foam generating device 120, and water can enter the main flow channel through the inlet of the foam generating device 120 and flow through the first section 1201 and the second section 1202 in sequence and then flow out from the outlet of the foam generating device 120. During this process, the detergent can enter the second section 1202 through the liquid inlet 121 on the second section 1202, and at the same time, the outside air can enter the second section 1202 through the air intake port 122, and the detergent, air and water are mixed in the main flow path 1200. The diameter of the second section 1202 is smaller than that of the first section 1201. Therefore, the flow rate in the second section 1202 is large, and a low-pressure area can be formed. The rate at which gas enters the second section 1202 can also increase the mixing effect of gas and liquid. At this time, the mixed liquid can be mixed in the second section 1202 to produce a large amount of foam. The mixed liquid mixed with foam flows from the second section 1202 through the liquid outlet 112 and then flows out to be used for cleaning the objects to be washed, and the cleaning effect is better.

[0059] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the main flow path further includes: a third section 1203 , the third section 1203 is connected to the second section 1202 and the outlet of the foam generating device 120 , and the diameter of the third section 1203 is greater than the diameter of the second section 1202 . Specifically, the first section 1201 is connected to the inlet of the foam generating device 120, one end of the second section 1202 is connected to the first section 1201, and the main flow path 1200 can also be provided with a third section 1203 connected to the second section 1202 at the other end of the second section 1202, and the other end of the third section 1203 is connected to the outlet of the foam generating device 120, and the foam mixture generated in the second section 1202 flows out from the outlet of the foam generating device 120 after passing through the third section 1203. In the third section 1203, since the diameter of the third section 1203 is larger than the diameter of the second section 1202, the flow rate of the foam mixture in the third section 1203 is slower, the foam is more stable and more uniform, and is not easy to break, which can ensure that the foam can act on the laundry, and ensure the cleaning effect of the mixture released by the foam release component.

[0060] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the second section 1202 is d1, the diameter of the liquid inlet 121 is d2, and the following condition is satisfied: 0.4≤d2 / d1≤0.45.

[0061] Since the liquid inlet 121 is disposed in the second section 1202, the size relationship between the liquid inlet 121 and the second section 1202 affects the generation of foam. Specifically, if the diameter of the second section 1202 is d1 and the diameter of the liquid inlet 121 is d2, then 0.4≤d2 / d1≤0.45 is satisfied. Among them, when d2 / d1<0.4, the diameter of the liquid inlet 121 is smaller than the diameter of the second section 1202. At this time, the amount of detergent entering the main channel 1200 through the liquid inlet 121 is small, which will lead to insufficient detergent in the main channel 1200, reduce the generated foam, and then lead to a decrease in the washing effect; when d2 / d1>0.45, the diameter of the liquid inlet 121 is larger than the diameter of the second section 1202. At this time, the amount of detergent entering the main channel 1200 through the liquid inlet 121 is large, which will lead to excessive detergent in the main channel 1200. Due to the limited size of the main channel 1200, the excessive detergent cannot be foamed in time before flowing out of the foam generating device 120, thereby reducing the washing effect. Therefore, the diameter of the liquid inlet 121 and the diameter of the second section 1202 should be in a relatively suitable range. For example, d2 / d1 is preferably 0.43. When d2 / d1=0.43, the foaming effect is better than other values.

[0062] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the foam delivery device 16 includes: a barrel 164 and a spiral blade 165, at least one end of the barrel 164 is provided with a bubble outlet, at least one end of the barrel 164 or between the two ends is provided with a bubble inlet 163 connected to the outlet of the foam generating device 120; the spiral blade 165 is fixedly arranged in the barrel 164.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, the foam delivery device 16 is provided with a barrel 164 and a spiral blade 165, wherein a cavity for accommodating the spiral blade 165 is formed in the barrel 164, and the spiral blade 165 is fixedly arranged in the cavity of the barrel 164, and the spiral blade 165 can be used to cut the water flow, and the foam delivery device 16 can be connected with the outlet of the foam generating device 120 through the bubble inlet 163 between the two ends of the barrel 164 (for example, the middle position), and the mixed liquid flowing out of the foam generating device 120 can enter the barrel 164 through the bubble inlet 163, and generate more foam under the action of the spiral blade 165, and the mixed liquid mixed with more foam can flow out from the first bubble outlet 161 and the second bubble outlet 162 at the two ends of the barrel 164 and be used to clean the objects to be washed. The provision of the spiral blade 165 enables the mixed liquid to be foamed again in the foam delivery device 16, thereby increasing the foam content of the final mixed liquid, and thus improving the washing effect of the foam delivery component.

[0064] In some embodiments, a rotatable spiral impeller may be disposed in the cylinder 164 , and the mixed liquid in the cylinder 164 may be stirred by the rotation of the spiral impeller, and more foam may also be generated.

[0065] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the foam delivery device 16 includes a delivery flow path and an impact flow path, the inlet of the delivery flow path is connected to the outlet of the foam generating device 120, and the outlet of the delivery flow path faces the clothing processing chamber; the inlet of the impact flow path is connected to an external water source, and the outlet of the impact flow path is connected to the delivery flow path.

[0066] Different from the construction method of the foam delivery device 16 in the above-mentioned embodiment, the foam delivery device 16 can also be provided with a delivery flow path and an impact flow path. The principle of the delivery flow path and the impact flow path is similar to that of the foam generating device 120, wherein the inlet of the delivery flow path is connected to the outlet of the foam generating device 120, and the mixed liquid flowing out of the foam generating device 120 can enter the delivery flow path. At this time, the impact flow path connected to the external water source can introduce water into the delivery flow path, so that the mixed liquid in the delivery flow path is mixed with water again to foam. It can also be simply understood that the mixed liquid in the delivery flow path again undergoes the foaming process in the foam generating device 120, further increasing the foam content. Similarly, an air intake structure similar to the air inlet 122 can also be provided on the delivery flow path. The provision of the delivery flow path and the impact flow path further increases the foam content in the mixed liquid that finally flows out, and improves the cleaning effect of the foam delivery component.

[0067] The delivery assembly 1 according to the present utility model is briefly described below.

[0068] The delivery assembly 1 according to the utility model includes a housing 11 and the foam delivery assembly in the above embodiment, wherein a water inlet 111 and a liquid outlet 112 are formed on the housing 11, and the foam delivery assembly is arranged inside the housing 11, and the foam delivery assembly is connected with the water inlet 111 and the liquid outlet 112. When the foam delivery assembly is assembled into the housing 11, water entering the water inlet 111 can flow into the foam delivery assembly and mix with the washing material to form foam, and the foamed mixed liquid flows out through the liquid outlet 112 to clean the objects to be washed. The arrangement of the foam delivery assembly improves the washing effect of the delivery assembly 1.

[0069] According to one embodiment of the utility model, a delivery chamber 113 suitable for accommodating the cleaning material is provided in the delivery component 1, and the delivery chamber 113 can be selectively connected to the water inlet end 111, and a first outlet 1131 connected to the liquid outlet end 112 and a second outlet 1136 connected to the foam delivery component are formed in the delivery chamber 113.

[0070] The delivery chamber 113 is a space for placing detergents. The delivery chamber 113 is arranged in the housing 11. The delivery chamber 113 is provided with a first outlet 1131 and a second outlet 1136, wherein the second outlet 1136 is connected to the liquid inlet 121 in the foam delivery assembly; the first outlet 1131 is directly connected to the liquid outlet 112. The delivery chamber 113 provides a space for storing detergents. The user can directly deliver detergents into the delivery chamber 113. The detergents in the delivery chamber 113 can flow directly into the area to be washed through the first outlet 1131 and the liquid outlet 112, or flow into the foam delivery assembly through the second outlet 1136, and then flow into the area to be washed through the liquid outlet 112 after foaming. There is no need to manually add detergents into the foam delivery assembly, which reduces the difficulty of operation and improves the user experience.

[0071] In addition, since the detergent only needs to be put into the delivery cavity 113, the detergent will not contaminate other structures of the delivery component 1, thus avoiding the detergent remaining on other structures inside the delivery component 1, thereby avoiding secondary contamination of the delivery component 1 during use.

[0072] In some embodiments, the delivery component 1 includes a first water channel 13, a second water channel 12 and a switching device, the first water channel 13 flows through the delivery chamber 113 and connects the water inlet end 111 with the liquid outlet end 112; the second water channel 12 flows through the foam delivery component and connects the water inlet end 111 with the liquid outlet end 112; the switching device is arranged on the shell 11 and can selectively control the conduction or closing of the first water channel 13, and / or control the conduction and closing of the second water channel 12.

[0073] A first waterway 13 and a second waterway 12 are provided in the shell 11, and a total of two flow routes suitable for passing water or a mixed liquid are provided. The first waterway 13 and the second waterway 12 are respectively connected to the water inlet 111 and the liquid outlet 112 on the shell 11, wherein a foam delivery component is also provided on the second waterway 12, and the foam delivery component is a structure for generating foam. When detergent is added to the delivery component 1, a part of the detergent can directly enter the first waterway 13 and flow with the water in the first waterway 13, and the water in the first waterway 13 can be mixed with the detergent and then flow through the outlet of the first waterway 13 and finally flow out through the liquid outlet 112; another part of the detergent can enter the foam delivery component in the second waterway 12, and a part of the water flow entering the delivery component 1 from the water inlet 111 is fully mixed with the detergent in the foam delivery component, and the mixed liquid foams under the action of the foam delivery component, and the foamed mixed liquid flows out from the liquid outlet 112 after passing through the outlet of the second waterway 12. The first water channel 13 and the second water channel 12 can flow out the mixed liquid at the same time, and the setting of the foam delivery component in the second water channel 12 increases the foam in the mixed liquid. Compared with the liquid, the foam has a larger surface structure and can better clean the clothes when it comes into contact with the clothes, thereby effectively improving the washing effect of the clothing processing equipment.

[0074] The design of the first water channel 13 and the second water channel 12 can make the delivery component 1 have two different mixed liquid flow routes at the same time. The two water channels correspond to different washing effects. Therefore, in actual situations, different water channels can be selected according to different washing needs or the two water channels can be used at the same time, which can provide more choices while meeting the washing needs, thereby improving the diversity of the delivery component 1. The foam delivery component is arranged in the second water channel 12 to make the mixed liquid produce more foam. When the same amount of washing material is used, the mixed liquid that produces more foam has a better cleaning effect. Therefore, the design of the second water channel 12 can reduce the cost of the amount of washing material to a certain extent.

[0075] At the same time, the delivery component 1 is also provided with a switching device, which can be set at the water inlet end 111 and located upstream of the inlet of the first waterway 13 and the inlet of the second waterway 12, that is, the switching device can control the conduction or closure between the first waterway 13 and the second waterway 12 and the water inlet end 111. For example, the switching device can control the first waterway 13 to be connected to the water inlet end 111 and close the second waterway 12; or the switching device can also control the first waterway 13 to be closed and the second waterway 12 to be connected; or the switching device can also control the first waterway 13 and the second waterway 12 to be connected to the water inlet end 111 at the same time. The specific control situation can be determined according to actual needs. The setting of the switching device allows the delivery component 1 to flexibly select the first waterway 13 and the second waterway 12 according to needs, making the delivery component 1 more controllable and flexible.

[0076] In some embodiments, the switching device is configured as an on-off valve, which is disposed in the first water channel 13 and can selectively open or close the first water channel 13 , and / or the on-off valve is disposed in the second water channel 12 and can selectively open or close the second water channel 12 .

[0077] The construction of the switching device will affect the control of the first water channel 13 and the second water channel 12 by the delivery component 1. For example, the switching device can be constructed as an on-off valve, and the on-off valve can be constructed as two valves corresponding to the first water channel 13 and the second water channel 12, and respectively control the opening or closing of the first water channel 13 and the opening or closing of the second water channel 12. Specifically, an on-off valve can be set between the first water channel 13 and the water inlet end 111, and similarly, an on-off valve can also be set between the second water channel 12 and the water inlet end 111. The setting of the two on-off valves enables the control of the on and off states of the first water channel 13 and the second water channel 12 to be independent, and the corresponding water channel can be selected for use according to needs, and the states between the two water channels will not affect each other.

[0078] In some embodiments, the switching device is constructed as a reversing valve 14, which is provided with a first valve port 141, a second valve port 142 and a third valve port 143. The first valve port 141 is connected to the water inlet end 111, the second valve port 142 is connected to the inlet of the first waterway 13, and the third valve port 143 is connected to the inlet of the second waterway 12; wherein, the reversing valve 14 can selectively connect the first valve port 141 with the second valve port 142 or connect the first valve port 141 with the third valve port 143.

[0079] In other embodiments, different from the on-off valve in the above embodiments, the switching device can also be configured as a reversing valve 14, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the reversing valve 14 has three valve ports, namely, a first valve port 141, a second valve port 142 and a third valve port 143, wherein the first valve port 141 is the inlet of the reversing valve 14, and the first valve port 141 is connected to the water inlet end 111; the second valve port 142 is the outlet of the on-off valve, and the second valve port 142 is connected to the first waterway 13; the third valve port 143 is also the outlet of the reversing valve 14, and the third valve port 143 is connected to the inlet of the second waterway 12. The reversing valve 14 can control the first valve port 141 to be connected to the second valve port 142 or to be connected to the third valve port 143 according to the cleaning requirements, and the reversing valve 14 is more convenient to operate when a single waterway is selected.

[0080] In some embodiments, when the switching device adopts a reversing valve 14 structure, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the shell 11 can be provided with a first cavity 1141, a second cavity 1142 and a third cavity 1143 corresponding to each other in the communicating areas of the first valve port 141, the second valve port 142 and the third valve port 143, respectively. The first valve port 141 is communicated with the water inlet end 111 through the first cavity 1141, the second valve port 142 is communicated with the first waterway 13 through the second cavity 1142, and the third valve port 143 is communicated with the second waterway 12 through the third cavity 1143. The arrangement of the three cavities enables the first waterway 13, the second waterway 12 and the waterway of the water inlet end 111 of the delivery component 1 to be adaptively changed in the thickness direction of the delivery component 1, so as to adjust the layout of the internal structure of the delivery component 1. For example, the second waterway 12 is located at the bottom of the delivery cavity 113. At this time, the third cavity 1143 extends in the thickness direction of the delivery component 1, and the water flowing out of the reversing valve 14 can be diverted to the second waterway 12 at the bottom of the delivery component 1, thereby improving the compactness of the delivery component 1.

[0081] The following is a brief description of the clothes processing device according to the present utility model.

[0082] According to the utility model, the clothing processing device includes the dispensing component 1 in the above embodiment. Since the clothing processing device according to the utility model is provided with the dispensing component 1 in the above embodiment, when the dispensing component 1 is assembled into the clothing processing device, the cleaning effect of the clothing processing device can be effectively improved, and the user experience can be improved.

[0083] In some embodiments, a workbench is provided on the clothing processing device, and an installation cavity suitable for accommodating a dispensing component 1 is formed on the workbench. The dispensing component 1 is constructed as the dispensing component 1 in the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the pulsator washing machine according to the utility model is provided with the dispensing component 1 in the above-mentioned embodiment, during assembly, the dispensing component 1 can be assembled into the installation cavity, and the mixed liquid can be fully foamed through two different methods of the first water channel 13 and the second water channel 12, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the pulsator washing machine. At the same time, the dispensing component 1 is assembled to the workbench, which is convenient for user operation and improves the user experience.

[0084] In some embodiments, the dispensing assembly 1 can also be used in various types of washing machines such as pulsator washing machines.

[0085] In some embodiments, the clothing processing device includes a clothing processing chamber, and the liquid outlet 112 is connected to the clothing processing chamber. The clothing processing chamber is provided in the clothing processing device, and when the dispensing component 1 is assembled to the installation chamber, the liquid outlet 112 of the dispensing component 1 faces the clothing processing chamber and is connected to the clothing processing chamber, ensuring that the foam mixed liquid generated by the dispensing component 1 can directly enter the clothing processing chamber for cleaning clothing.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first water channel 13 may include a first flow channel section, one end of which is connected to the water inlet end 111 , and the other end of which is connected to the delivery cavity 113 through an inlet, and the inlet is arranged on the side wall of the delivery cavity 113 . The first water channel 13 connects the water inlet end 111 with the liquid outlet end 112 through the delivery chamber 113. It can be simply understood that the delivery chamber 113 divides the first water channel 13 into two sections. The first water channel 13 between the delivery chamber 113 and the water inlet end 111 can be understood as a first flow channel section. The first flow channel section can be connected to the inlet on the delivery chamber 113. It should be noted that the inlet position of the delivery chamber 113 can be set on the side wall of the delivery chamber 113. When the user delivers detergent into the delivery chamber 113, water enters the water inlet end 111, and a part of the water flows into the delivery chamber 113 through the first flow channel section. At this time, since the inlet of the delivery chamber 113 is located on the side wall of the delivery chamber 113, the water flow of the first flow channel section can impact the delivery chamber 113 from the side wall of the delivery chamber 113 so that the water flow and the detergent are fully mixed. At the same time, the detergent remaining on the side wall of the delivery chamber 113 can also be rinsed clean, thereby reducing the residual detergent in the delivery chamber 113.

[0087] In some embodiments, the delivery chamber 113 may be defined by a partition structure to form a first sub-chamber 1132 and a second sub-chamber 1133 spaced apart from each other. In this case, the first flow channel section may be correspondingly divided into a first sub-waterway 131 and a second sub-waterway 132. Figure 5As shown, the first sub-waterway 131 and the second sub-waterway 132 are arranged around the first sub-cavity 1132 and the second sub-cavity 1133 respectively, the first sub-cavity 1132 is provided with a first inlet 1311, and the second sub-cavity 1133 is provided with a second inlet 1321, the first sub-waterway 131 and the second sub-waterway 132 are connected with the first inlet 1311 and the second inlet 1321 respectively, and a guide plate 133 extending toward the first sub-cavity 1132 can also be provided on the first inlet 1311, and the guide plate 133 can guide the water flowing in the first waterway 13 to the first sub-cavity 1132 so as to fully clean at least part of the side wall of the first sub-cavity 1132; similarly, the guide plate 133 can also be provided at the position of the second inlet 1321, and the number of the first inlet 1311 and the second inlet 1321 can be increased or decreased according to actual conditions, and multiple first inlets 1311 and multiple second inlets 1321 can flush the side walls of the corresponding sub-cavities from more angles.

[0088] In some embodiments, the first water channel 13 further includes a second flow channel section, one end of which is connected to the first outlet 1131, and the other end of which is connected to the liquid outlet 112. Corresponding to the first flow channel section, the first water channel 13 further includes a second flow channel section, and the second flow channel section connects the delivery chamber 113 with the liquid outlet 112. It can also be understood that: the inlet of the second flow channel section is connected to the first outlet 1131 in the delivery chamber 113, and the water flowing into the first water channel 13 from the water inlet end 111 is mixed with the detergent in the delivery chamber 113, flows to the second flow channel section through the first outlet 1131, and finally flows out through the liquid outlet 112. Figure 5 As shown, the first outlet 1131 corresponding to the first sub-cavity 1132 and the first outlet 1131 corresponding to the second sub-cavity 1133 can be the same, that is, the first outlet 1131 spans at least part of the first sub-cavity 1132 and at least part of the second sub-cavity 1133. The arrangement of the first outlet 1131 does not require the first outlet 1131 to be arranged in each sub-cavity, which can reduce the difficulty of processing.

[0089] In some embodiments, the foam generating device 120 is further provided with a liquid inlet flow path 124 connected to the main flow path 1200, wherein the main flow path 1200 is the main body of the foam generating device 120, and the main flow path 1200 is connected to the water inlet end 111 and the liquid outlet end 112, and a part of the water flow entering the water inlet end 111 can flow through the main flow path 1200 and then flow out through the liquid outlet end 112; the liquid inlet flow path 124 connects the delivery cavity 113 with the main flow path 1200, and specifically, the main flow path 1200 is provided with a liquid inlet port 121, and the liquid inlet port 121 is connected to the main flow path 1200. The liquid inlet 121 can be connected with the delivery chamber 113 to achieve the connection between the delivery chamber 113 and the main flow path 1200. When the detergent is delivered into the delivery chamber 113, a part of the detergent can flow into the main flow path 1200 from the liquid inlet 121 through the liquid inlet flow path 124. The detergent flowing into the main flow can be mixed with the water entering the main flow path 1200 from the water inlet end 111 to generate a large amount of foam under the action of the foam generating device 120. The mixed liquid mixed with foam can be used to clean the objects to be washed after flowing out through the liquid outlet end 112. The arrangement of the liquid inlet flow path 124 and the main flow path 1200 can distinguish the routes of clean water and detergent entering the second flow path. The detergent in the delivery chamber 113 is introduced into the foam generating device 120 through the liquid inlet flow path 124, which can reduce the difficulty of directly delivering the detergent into the foam generating device 120. The user only needs to deliver the detergent into the delivery chamber 113 to complete the delivery of the detergent in the first water path 13 and the second water path 12. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0090] In some embodiments, the air inlet 122 and the liquid inlet 121 are at least partially opposite in the radial direction of the main flow path 1200. During processing, the air inlet 122 and the liquid inlet 121 may be at least partially opposite. Since the air inlet 122 and the liquid inlet hole are at least partially opposite in the radial direction of the main flow path 1200, when the washing material flows into the main flow path 1200 through the liquid inlet hole, the external air can directly enter the main flow path 1200 through the air inlet 122, ensuring that the air and the mixed liquid are fully contacted and mixed in the main flow path 1200, thereby generating more and more stable foam.

[0091] In some embodiments, the second water channel 12 includes a third flow channel section and a fourth flow channel section, one end of the third flow channel section is connected to the water inlet end 111, and the other end of the third flow channel section is connected to one end of the first section 1201; one end of the fourth flow channel section is connected to the other end of the third section 1203, and the other end of the fourth flow channel section is connected to the liquid outlet end 112. Similar to the first water channel 13 flowing through the delivery chamber 113, the second water channel 12 flows through the foam generating device 120. Therefore, it can be simply understood that the foam generating device 120 divides the second water channel 12 into the third flow channel section and the fourth flow channel section, wherein the third flow channel section connects the water inlet end 111 with the foam generating device 120; and the fourth flow channel section connects the foam generating device 120 with the liquid outlet end 112. The arrangement of the third flow channel section and the fourth flow channel section makes the path of the second water channel 12 clearer, and the flow path of the second flow channel can also be adjusted according to the specific structural adaptability of the actual delivery component 1, so that the flow of the mixed liquid can be more accurately controlled.

[0092] In some embodiments, a water outlet channel 1151 is formed inside the bottom wall of the shell 11, and the outlet of the water outlet channel 1151 can be understood as the liquid outlet end 112 of the delivery component 1, and the first outlet 1131 of the delivery chamber 113 and the outlet of the foam delivery component can be connected to the water outlet channel 1151. It can also be understood that the mixed liquid of the first water channel 13 and the mixed liquid of the second water channel 12 can eventually flow into the clothing processing chamber through the water outlet channel 1151 to realize the process of cleaning clothes.

[0093] In some embodiments, the shell 11 can be composed of a shell body 114 and a sub-shell 11611, as shown in the figure, wherein the bottom of the shell body 114 is provided with a foam generating device 120 and a foam delivery device 16 and other structures; the sub-shell 11611 is arranged at the bottom of the shell body 114, and an air suction groove 1161 connected to the air suction channel 123 is defined between the sub-shell 11611 and the shell body 114, and the air suction groove 1161 is open to the outside to realize the connection between the air suction channel 123 and the outside air. The setting of the air suction groove 1161 can allow air to smoothly enter the mainstream path 1200, which can improve the foaming efficiency and foaming quality of the mixed liquid in the mainstream path 1200.

[0094] In some embodiments, an air intake hole is formed on the top wall of the sub-shell 11611, and the air intake hole is connected to the air intake channel 123, that is, the two ends of the air intake channel 123 are respectively connected to the air intake port 122 and the air intake hole, thereby realizing the connection between the main flow path 1200 and the external air. The air intake hole is located in the central area of ​​the sub-shell 11611, such as Figure 10-12 As shown, the position design of the air intake hole enables the air in the air intake groove 1161 to enter the main flow path 1200 from the middle, thereby improving the air intake efficiency.

[0095] In some embodiments, the water outlet channel 1151 is formed at the bottom of the foam generating device 120, which can also be understood as at least part of the foam generating device 120 being accommodated in the water outlet channel 1151, and the water outlet channel 1151 being located at the top of the air suction groove 1161. It can be understood that the foam generating device 120, the water outlet channel 1151 and the air suction groove 1161 are at least partially overlapped in sequence in the thickness direction of the delivery component 1, which improves the compactness of the delivery component 1, can effectively reduce the volume of the delivery component 1, and facilitates the assembly of the delivery component 1.

[0096] In some embodiments, the water outlet channel 1151 is formed inside the bottom wall of the housing 11, which can also be understood as follows: Fig.12 As shown, the housing 11 includes a housing body 114, a bottom housing 115 and a sub-housing 11611. In the thickness direction of the delivery assembly 1, the housing body 114, the bottom housing 115 and the sub-housing 11611 are arranged in sequence, that is, the bottom housing 115 is arranged at the bottom of the housing body 114, and the sub-housing 11611 is arranged at the bottom of the bottom housing 115. Fig.12 It is not difficult to find that a water outlet channel 1151 is defined between the bottom shell 115 and the shell body 114, the foam generating device 120, the foam dispensing device 16 and other structures are located at the bottom of the shell body 114 and at least partially accommodated in the water outlet channel 1151, and an air suction groove 1161 is defined between the bottom shell 115 and the sub-shell 11611. The bottom shell 115 is introduced here only to describe the specific structure of the shell 11 in the thickness direction. In other embodiments, the bottom shell 115 can also be summarized as a part of the bottom of the shell body 114.

[0097] In some embodiments, a sink 1134 is formed on the bottom wall of the delivery chamber 113, and a siphon device 15 may be disposed in the sink 1134. Figure 7 As shown, the outlet of the siphon device 15 is connected to the water outlet channel 1151, and the siphon device 15 can discharge the residual detergent in the delivery chamber 113 and the water introduced into the delivery chamber 113 by the first waterway 13 through siphoning, and use them for washing clothes, thereby avoiding the residual detergent and water in the delivery chamber 113, and effectively avoiding the problem of secondary pollution of the delivery chamber 113 caused by the residual substances. In this process, the purpose of designing the sink 1134 is to improve the ability of the siphon device 15 to siphon the residual detergent and water in the delivery chamber 113.

[0098] In some embodiments, Figure 7As shown, the siphon device 15 includes: a siphon tube 151 and a siphon cylinder 152. The siphon tube 151 is arranged on the bottom wall of the trough 1134. A first siphon waterway 154 is formed in the siphon tube 151 to connect the delivery cavity 113 with the water outlet channel 1151; the siphon cylinder 152 is covered on at least part of the outer periphery of the siphon tube 151, and a second siphon waterway 155 is formed between the siphon cylinder 152 and the siphon tube 151; wherein, a siphon gap 153 is reserved between the siphon cylinder 152 and the bottom wall of the trough 1134 to connect the delivery cavity 113 with the second siphon waterway 155.

[0099] Specifically, the siphon tube 151 is arranged on the bottom wall of the trough 1134, and the siphon tube 152 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the siphon tube 151 to form a siphon gap 153 at the bottom wall of the trough 1134. The residual water and detergents in the delivery chamber 113 can pass through the siphon gap 153 in turn through the second siphon waterway 155 and the first siphon waterway 154 and then flow into the water outlet channel 1151. The setting position and internal structure of the siphon device 15 ensure that the siphon device 15 can remove the residues at the bottom of the delivery chamber 113, thereby improving the siphon effect.

[0100] In some embodiments, the dispensing assembly 1 is further provided with a top baffle 117 extending toward the inside of the dispensing chamber 113 on the siphon tube 152, and a scale line 1171 is provided on the top baffle 117, and the position of the scale line 1171 is not higher than the lowest side wall of the dispensing chamber 113, or the scale line 1171 is not higher than the standardized maximum height of the dispensing detergent in the dispensing chamber 113. At the same time, it should be noted that the first outlet 1131 also needs to be higher than the bottom wall of the dispensing chamber 113, and the height of the scale line 1171 can also be slightly lower than the height of the first outlet 1131, so as to prevent the detergent from flowing out directly through the first outlet 1131 when being dispensed and unable to mix with the water in the first waterway 13. When the user dispenses the detergent, the scale line 1171 can be used to intuitively judge whether the amount of detergent dispensed is appropriate, so as to prevent excessive detergent from flowing out directly from the side wall of the dispensing chamber 113 or the first outlet 1131 and affecting the washing effect, and the setting of the scale line 1171 can improve the user experience.

[0101] In summary, the delivery component 1 defines a delivery chamber 113 in the shell 11, and a water outlet channel 1151 is provided at the bottom of the delivery chamber 113, as well as a foam generating device 120 and a foam delivery device 16 which are at least partially located in the water outlet channel 1151 and are connected to each other. The delivery component 1 connects the first waterway 13 and the second waterway 12 through a switching device, wherein the first waterway 13 flows through the delivery chamber 113, and the second waterway 12 flows through the foam generating device 120 and the foam delivery device 16. The switching device can be used to select the first waterway 13 and the second waterway 12 according to needs, thereby improving the flexibility of the delivery component 1. The foam generating device 120 is provided with a liquid inlet 121, and the detergent in the delivery chamber 113 can be introduced into the main flow path 1200 of the foam generating device 120 through the liquid inlet flow path 124. The detergent entering the main flow path 1200 can be mixed with the water entering the main flow path 1200 from the water inlet end 111 and the air introduced from the air intake channel 123 to form foam. The foamed mixed liquid generates more foam after the action of the foam delivery device 16 and is finally used to wash clothes, which can effectively improve the washing effect of the delivery component 1.
