[0041] Combination Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a detergent box assembly 100, including:

[0042] The box structure 110 is provided with an interface 111, such as Figure 2 As shown;

[0043] The inner cover 120 is threadedly matched with the interface 111 to open or close the interface 111; a first matching portion 121 is provided on the first axial end wall 122 of the inner cover 120. Figure 3 as shown; and

[0044] The outer rotating cover 130 has a housing cavity S1, and the housing cavity S1 is provided with a cavity opening O; the inner rotating cover 120 is arranged in the housing cavity S1; the outer rotating cover 130 has a second axial end wall 131 arranged opposite to the cavity opening O and a retaining rib 132 arranged at the cavity opening O, and the retaining rib 132 abuts against the inner rotating cover 120; the second axial end wall 131 is provided with a second matching portion 133 and a deforming member 134; the deforming member 134 abuts against the first axial end wall 122, as shown in FIG. Figures 4 to 7 As shown,

[0045] When the deformation member 134 is subjected to pressure, the second matching portion 133 moves axially and matches with the first matching portion 121, so that when the outer rotating cover 130 is rotated, the inner rotating cover 120 and the outer rotating cover 130 rotate in the same direction; when the deformation member 134 is not subjected to pressure F, the second matching portion 133 and the first matching portion 121 are disengaged from the matching relationship, and when the outer rotating cover 130 is rotated, the inner rotating cover 120 is stationary.

[0046] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the inner rotating cover 120 is embedded in the accommodating cavity S1 of the outer rotating cover 130, and the inner rotating cover 120 is restricted in the accommodating cavity S1 by the retaining rib 132 at the cavity opening O of the outer rotating cover 130, so as to prevent the outer rotating cover 130 from being separated from the inner rotating cover 120; when the deformable member 134 on the outer rotating cover 130 is not subjected to pressure, the first matching portion 121 on the first axial end wall 122 of the inner rotating cover 120 and the second matching portion 121 on the second axial end wall 131 of the outer rotating cover 130 are The matching portion 133 is disengaged, and no matter how the outer cover 130 is rotated, the inner cover 120 is stationary, and when a child accidentally rotates the outer cover 130, the interface 111 will not be opened; and when the interface 111 needs to be opened, the user (adult) presses the outer cover 130, the deformable member 134 is deformed, and the second matching portion 133 moves axially to match with the first matching portion 121, and when the outer cover 130 is rotated, the inner cover 120 is driven to rotate and open the interface 111. Therefore, the detergent box assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application has the function of preventing children from disassembling, effectively preventing children from disassembling and contacting or accidentally ingesting the detergent solvent inside the detergent box, and at the same time, the outer cover 130 can open the interface 111 under the operation of an adult, which can prevent children from accidentally touching and facilitate adult operation.

[0047] In the embodiment, the deformable member 134 abuts against the first axial end wall 122, and its function is to make the second matching portion 133 be in the axial space between the outer rotating cover 130 and the inner rotating cover 120 when no pressure is applied, and to be out of the matching relationship with the first matching portion 121. In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the outer rotating cover 130 is made of plastic material and has good deformation ability.

[0048] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the deformable member 134 is a spring sheet 134b, the first end 134b-1 of the spring sheet 134b is connected to the outer rotating cover 130, and the second end 134b-2 of the spring sheet 134b is suspended and abuts the first axial end wall 122. In the embodiment, when the user (adult) presses the outer rotating cover 130, the spring sheet 134b will be deformed and displaced due to the second end 134b-2 being suspended, and the second matching portion 133 will move axially and match with the first matching portion 121. When the outer rotating cover 130 is rotated, the inner rotating cover 120 is driven to rotate and open the interface 111. The second end 134b-2 of the spring sheet 134b abuts against the first axial end wall 122 to support the outer rotating cover 130. When not under pressure, the second matching portion 133 is in the axial space between the outer rotating cover 130 and the inner rotating cover 120, and is out of matching relationship with the first matching portion 121.

[0049] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, the elastic sheet 134b has a plurality of elastic sheets 134b, the first ends 134b-1 of the plurality of elastic sheets 134b are arranged at the same end, and the second ends 134b-2 of the plurality of elastic sheets 134b are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the outer rotating cover 130. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are two spring pieces 134b, the first ends 134b-1 of the two spring pieces 134b are arranged at the same end, and the second ends 134b-2 of the two spring pieces 134b are arranged at an interval of 180°; such an arrangement can increase the reliability of the spring piece 134b supporting the external rotating cover 130, and on the other hand, when subjected to pressure, the force on the spring piece 134b is more uniform, thereby improving the matching reliability of the first matching portion 121 and the second matching portion 133.

[0050] In the embodiment, the first ends 134b-1 of the plurality of elastic sheets 134b are arranged at the same end, and the second ends 134b-2 of the plurality of elastic sheets 134b are arranged at even intervals along the circumference of the outer rotating cover 130. In some embodiments, the first ends 134b-1 of the plurality of elastic sheets 134b are arranged at the central position of the outer rotating cover 130, and the plurality of elastic sheets 134b extend along different radial directions to form a radial deformation member 134.

The dihedral angle of the inclined surfaces 134b-3 of any two spring pieces 134b is an obtuse angle. In the embodiment, this structure can improve the deformation ability of the spring piece 134b; when the outer rotating cover 130 is pressed, the spring piece 134b opens; when the pressure is removed, the spring piece 134b tightens.

[0053] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the deformable member 134 is an elastic rib 134a. The elastic rib 134a abuts against the first axial end wall 122, and its function is to make the second matching portion 133 be in the axial space between the outer rotating cover 130 and the inner rotating cover 120 when no pressure is applied, and to break away from the matching relationship with the first matching portion 121. When the elastic rib 134a abuts against the first axial end wall 122, it is compressed when pressure is applied, and the second matching portion 133 moves to match with the first matching portion 121.
