[0050] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] An embodiment of the present application provides a dispensing device and a clothing processing device to solve the problem that when the water inlet valve of an existing washing machine feeds water into the detergent box assembly, if the user fails to install the liquid storage box in place or forgets to install it, the water in the shell will flow around or overflow to the outside of the washing machine. The following will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] The feeding device provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to a clothes processing device, which includes a washing drum 7. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 9 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the liquid storage box of the delivery device provided in an embodiment of the present application being closed. Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of the liquid storage box of the delivery device provided in an embodiment of the present application being opened. Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the connection between the dispensing device and the washing tub provided in the embodiment of the present application. The dispensing device includes a water inlet valve 1, a housing 2, a liquid storage box 3, and a detection member 4. The housing 2 is provided with a receiving chamber 211 and a water inlet 221 and a water outlet 212 connected to the receiving chamber 211. The water inlet 221 is connected to the water inlet valve 1, and the water outlet 212 is connected to the washing tub 7. Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the shell of the dispensing device provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the shell 2 is further provided with a mounting port 213; the liquid storage box 3 is detachably mounted in the accommodating chamber 211 through the mounting port 213, and a water guide chamber 321 is provided in the liquid storage box 3, which communicates with the water inlet 221 and the water outlet 212; a detection member 4 is provided on one of the shell 2 and the liquid storage box 3, and the detection member 4 is used to detect the installation status of the liquid storage box 3, and the detection member 4 is communicatively connected to the water inlet valve 1; wherein, when the liquid storage box 3 is at least partially separated from the accommodating chamber 211, the water inlet valve 1 turns off the water inlet function, and when the liquid storage box 3 is installed in the accommodating chamber 211, the water inlet valve 1 resumes the water inlet function.

[0053] The dispensing device provided in the embodiment of the present application provides a detection component 4 on one of the shell 2 and the liquid storage box 3 to detect the installation status of the liquid storage box 3 relative to the shell 2, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the water inlet function of the water inlet valve 1, ensuring that the water inlet valve 1 has the water inlet function only when the liquid storage box 3 is completely inside the shell 2. The clothing processing device can open the water inlet valve 1 to let water in according to the needs of the washing program. If the water inlet function of the water inlet valve 1 is closed, even if the washing program requires water inlet at this time, the clothing processing device cannot open the water inlet valve 1, so as to avoid the situation where water enters the water inlet valve 1 when the liquid storage box 3 is opened, thereby avoiding water in the shell 2 from flowing around or overflowing to the outside of the washing machine, or even dangerous situations such as leakage due to water leakage.

[0054] It should be noted that the communication connection in this article can be a wired connection or a wireless connection, wherein the wired connection can be an Ethernet connection, an optical fiber connection or a serial port connection, and the wireless connection can be a WIFI connection, a Bluetooth connection or an NFC connection, etc.

[0055] Optionally, see Figures 4 to 7The delivery device provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a test piece 5, which is correspondingly arranged on the other of the shell 2 and the liquid storage box 3; when the liquid storage box 3 is at least partially separated from the accommodating cavity 211, the test piece 5 transmits a closing signal to the detection piece 4; when the liquid storage box 3 is installed in the accommodating cavity 211, the test piece 5 transmits a recovery signal to the detection piece 4.

[0056] That is, by arranging the test piece 5 and the detection piece 4 to cooperate, the installation status of the liquid storage box 3 is detected, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the test results. When the detection piece 4 receives the off signal, the water inlet valve 1 closes the water inlet function. When the detection piece 4 receives the resume signal, the water inlet valve 1 resumes the water inlet function. At this time, the laundry processing device can open the water inlet valve 1 to fill the washing tub 7 with water according to the washing needs.

[0057] The specific setting positions of the detection member 4 and the test member 5 are not further limited here, that is, the detection member 4 can be set on the liquid storage box 3 and the test member 5 can be set on the shell 2, or the detection member 4 can be set on the shell 2 and the test member 5 can be set on the liquid storage box 3.

[0058] Optionally, see Figures 4 to 6 The test piece 5 includes a magnetic part, and the detection piece 4 includes a magnetic signal detection device. The magnetic signal detection device detects the magnetic signal around it. When the liquid storage box 3 is completely installed in the accommodating chamber 211, that is, when the liquid storage box 3 is installed in place, the distance between the magnetic part and the magnetic signal detection device is relatively close. At this time, the magnetic signal detection device can detect the specific magnetic field strength emitted by the magnetic part. The specific magnetic field strength is considered to be a recovery signal. At this time, the water inlet valve 1 resumes the water inlet function. When the liquid storage box 3 is partially or completely separated from the accommodating chamber 211, the magnetic field strength detected by the magnetic signal detection device is less than the aforementioned specific magnetic field strength. At this time, the water inlet valve 1 closes the water inlet function, thereby avoiding the situation where the water inlet valve 1 is opened and leaks when the liquid storage box 3 is at least partially separated from the accommodating chamber 211 and cannot guide the water in the shell 2.

[0059] In some examples, the magnetic portion may be a magnet, and the magnetic signal detection device may be a fluxmeter.

[0060] Optionally, see Figure 4 , Figure 4A schematic diagram of the structure of the detection member of the dispensing device provided in an embodiment of the present application in an example, wherein the magnetic signal detection device is arranged on the side wall of the shell 2 opposite to the installation port 213, and the magnetic part is arranged on the side of the liquid storage box 3 facing the magnetic signal detection device. In some examples, the liquid storage box 3 is slidably arranged in the accommodating cavity 211 through the installation port 213. At this time, the magnetic part is arranged at the front end of the liquid storage box 3 along the sliding direction of the liquid storage box 3, and the magnetic signal detection device is correspondingly arranged on the inner surface of the side wall of the shell 2 opposite to the installation port 213. When the liquid storage box 3 slides to be completely installed in the accommodating cavity 211, the magnetic signal detection device can detect the specific magnetic field strength of the magnetic part. This installation method facilitates the wired connection of the magnetic signal detection device to the water inlet valve 1, which is convenient for wiring.

[0061] Furthermore, when the liquid storage box 3 is fully installed in the accommodating cavity 211, there is an avoidance gap between the side of the liquid storage box 3 facing away from the installation port 213 and the side wall of the shell 2 opposite to the installation port 213, thereby preventing the magnetic part and the magnetic signal detection device from being damaged by collision, and reserving installation space for the installation of the magnetic part and the magnetic signal detection device.

[0062] In some examples, a recessed mounting groove is provided on the side of the liquid storage box 3 facing away from the mounting port 213, the magnetic part is installed in the mounting groove, a mounting seat is provided on the outer surface of the side wall of the shell 2 opposite to the mounting port 213, and the magnetic signal detection device is installed in the mounting seat, wherein the orthographic projection of the mounting seat on the liquid storage box 3 at least partially overlaps with the magnetic part. The connection method between the mounting seat and the liquid storage box 3 is not further limited here, and can be screwed, riveted, welded or glued, etc.

[0063] As an alternative embodiment, the magnetic signal detection device can be arranged on the side of the liquid storage box 3 away from the mounting port 213, and the magnetic part is arranged on the side wall of the shell 2 opposite to the mounting port 213. At this time, the magnetic signal detection device can be wirelessly connected to the water inlet valve 1, such as WIFI connection, Bluetooth connection or NFC connection, etc.

[0064] As another alternative, see Figure 6 , Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the structure of the detection member of the dispensing device provided in an embodiment of the present application in another example shows that the magnetic portion can be provided on the side of the liquid storage box 3, for example, on the left or right side of the liquid storage box 3, as long as it is ensured that it does not interfere with the installation of the liquid storage box 3 during the installation process. For example, when the liquid storage box 3 is slidingly connected to the accommodating chamber 211, the magnetic portion can be provided above the slide rail of the liquid storage box 3. When the liquid storage box 3 is rotationally connected to the accommodating chamber 211, the magnetic portion can be provided above the rotating shaft of the liquid storage box 3. The magnetic signal detection device can be correspondingly provided on the housing 2.

[0065] As another alternative embodiment, the magnetic portion can be provided on the top or bottom of the liquid storage box 3, see Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic structural diagram of the detection member of the dispensing device provided in an embodiment of the present application in another example, wherein the detection member is at the bottom. In this case, the magnetic signal detection device is correspondingly arranged at the top or bottom of the shell 2. Similarly, the installation position of the magnetic part only needs to satisfy the requirement of not interfering with the installation action of the liquid storage box 3 during the installation process of the liquid storage box 3, and no detailed description will be given here.

[0066] Optionally, the liquid storage box 3 includes a door panel 31 for blocking the installation opening 213 and a box body 32 located in the accommodating cavity 211; see Figure 7 , Figure 7 A schematic structural diagram of the detection member of the delivery device provided in an embodiment of the present application in another example, wherein the test member 5 includes a light-transmitting hole provided on the box body 32, and the detection member 4 is correspondingly arranged in the shell 2, and the detection member 4 includes an optical signal detection device; wherein, when the liquid storage box 3 is at least partially separated from the accommodating cavity 211, the light-transmitting hole connects the mounting port 213 and the optical signal detection device.

[0067] That is, at this time, the detection member 4 detects the installation status of the liquid storage box 3 by detecting the light signal transmitted from the test piece 5. When the liquid storage box 3 is at least partially opened, that is, at least partially separated from the accommodating cavity 211, the door panel 31 of the liquid storage box 3 no longer blocks the installation opening 213 of the shell 2. Light from outside the clothing processing device can penetrate the installation opening 213 into the shell 2, and the light through the light hole connects the installation opening 213 and the light signal detection device. Therefore, the light signal detection device can detect the light signal transmitted through the light hole. Furthermore, the light signal detection device can obtain the distance that the liquid storage box 3 has escaped from the accommodating cavity 211 by detecting the intensity of the light signal transmitted through the light hole. The greater the distance that the liquid storage box 3 has escaped from the accommodating cavity 211, the greater the intensity of the light signal detected by the light signal detection device. When the intensity of the light signal detected by the light signal detection device is less than a certain value or equal to zero, it indicates that the liquid storage box 3 is now safely installed in the accommodating cavity 211 and has been installed in place.

[0068] The position of the light-transmitting hole is not further limited here. For example, it can be opened on the side of the box body 32 of the liquid storage box 3 or on the side away from the installation port 213, and the optical signal detection device can be set corresponding to the light-transmitting hole.

[0069] Optionally, the liquid storage box 3 includes a door panel 31 for blocking the installation opening 213 and a box body 32 located in the accommodating cavity 211; the detection member 4 includes an optical signal detection device, see Figure 8 , Figure 8A schematic diagram of the structure of the detection component of the dispensing device provided in an embodiment of the present application in another example, in which the optical signal detection device is arranged on one end of the box body 32 near the door panel 31. In this case, the optical signal detection device can be arranged on a side of the liquid storage box 3 near the installation port 213 of the shell 2. When the liquid storage box 3 is at least partially separated from the accommodating cavity 211, the optical signal detection device can detect the optical signal outside the clothing processing device. Therefore, when the optical signal intensity detected by the optical signal detection device is greater than a preset value, it indicates that the liquid storage box 3 here is at least partially separated from the accommodating cavity 211. When the optical signal intensity detected by the optical signal detection device is less than a preset value or equal to zero, it indicates that the liquid storage box 3 here is installed in place. In this detection method, there is no need to set up an additional test piece 5, saving production costs and installation time.

[0070] Optionally, the dispensing device provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes an alarm module, which is communicatively connected to the detection component 4 and is configured to sound an alarm when the detection component 4 detects that the liquid storage box 3 is at least partially separated from the accommodating cavity 211 .

[0071] By setting an alarm module, an alarm is issued when the liquid storage box 3 is opened, so as to prompt the user to close the liquid storage box 3 as soon as possible to prevent the washing program from being unable to continue due to forgetting.

[0072] In some examples, the alarm module may be a sound module, a light module, or a vibration module, etc. The sound module may be a buzzer, and the light module may be a warning light.

[0073] Optionally, the housing 2 includes a base 21 and a cover 22. The base 21 has an internal accommodating chamber 211, and an opening is provided at the top of the base 21, the opening communicating with the accommodating chamber 211; the cover 22 covers the opening, and a water inlet 221 is provided on the side of the cover 22 facing the accommodating chamber 211. The water inlet 221 is provided corresponding to the water guide chamber 321, and a water inlet channel is provided in the cover 22, communicating with the water inlet 221 and the water inlet valve 1.

[0074] The positions of the water inlet 221 and the water guide cavity 321 of the liquid storage box 3 are not further limited here. The openings of the water inlet 221 and the water guide cavity 321 can be directly connected, or there is a certain gap between the openings of the water inlet 221 and the water guide cavity 321 but they are set accordingly.

[0075] By setting a water inlet channel in the cover 22 of the shell 2, water space is reserved for the water inlet needs of other components in the shell 2. For example, if a detergent chamber that needs to be inlet with water is also provided in the accommodating chamber 211 of the shell 2, another opening can be opened in the flow path of the water inlet channel for inletting water into the detergent chamber, so that the liquid storage chamber for guiding water and the detergent chamber can be inletted separately, independently of each other, to avoid mutual contamination.

[0076] Optionally, the clothing processing device includes a box body 6, the shell 2 is arranged in the box body 6, a through hole 61 is provided on the box body 6, and the liquid storage box 3 movably blocks the through hole 61; the box body 6 is also provided with a water absorption part 62, and the water absorption part 62 is arranged below the through hole 61.

[0077] When the liquid storage box 3 is obstructed due to the closure of the water inlet function of the water inlet valve 1, if water enters the water inlet valve 1 when the liquid storage box 3 is opened, causing water leakage in the liquid storage box 3, the water absorption portion 62 below the perforation 61 can absorb the water at the leaking place to prevent the leaked water from remaining on the ground, providing reaction time for the user's remedial action.

[0078] Optionally, the water absorption part 62 can be glued to the outer surface of the box body 6. The material and shape of the water absorption part 62 are not further limited here. For example, the water absorption part 62 can be made of diatom mud, etc.

[0079] The present application also provides a laundry processing device including a washing tub 7 and the aforementioned dispensing device. When the liquid storage box 3 is at least partially removed from the accommodating chamber 211, the water inlet valve 1 shuts off the water inlet function. When the liquid storage box 3 is installed in the accommodating chamber 211, the water inlet valve 1 allows water to flow into the washing tub 7.

[0080] Optionally, the clothing processing device includes a main board, which is communicatively connected to the main board and the detection component 4, the component to be tested 5, the water inlet valve 1, and the washing tub 7. The main board can only control the water inlet valve 1 to open and let water into the washing tub 7 through the shell 2 and the liquid storage box 3 when the water inlet valve 1 restores the water inlet function, that is, when the detection component 4 detects the target signal emitted by the component to be tested 5 to indicate that the liquid storage box 3 is in the installed state in the shell 2.

[0081] The types of clothing processing equipment are not further limited here. For example, it can be a washing machine, a dryer, a washer-dryer, etc. Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a schematic structural diagram of the clothing processing device provided in an embodiment of the present application.
