[0031] To make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the achieved technical effects clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] In the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components or the interaction relationship between two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0033] In this application, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the first feature being "above" or "below" the second feature may include direct contact between the first and second features, or may include the situation where the first and second features are not in direct contact but in contact through other features between them. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "above", and "on" the second feature includes the first feature being directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicating that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The first feature being "below", "below", and "under" the second feature includes the first feature being directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicating that the horizontal height of the first feature is lower than that of the second feature.

[0034] Some existing semi-automatic washing machines have the function of automatically dispensing detergent. The specific implementation method is as follows: Structures such as a detergent box and a peristaltic pump are arranged in the washing machine. The detergent box and the peristaltic pump are connected by a pipeline. The peristaltic pump is connected to the washing tub or the dispensing pipeline by a pipeline. Users can pre-store the detergent in the detergent box. When starting the washing machine, the washing machine can automatically start the peristaltic pump and use the peristaltic pump to push the detergent into the washing tub through the pipeline. Therefore, the amount of detergent dispensed by the existing washing machine can only be controlled according to the operation time of the peristaltic pump. However, within the same dispensing time, different degrees of filling of the detergent in the pipeline will result in different actual dispensing amounts. Therefore, there is a defect of poor dispensing accuracy.

[0035] As Figures 1-7 shown, in order to overcome the above technical problems, this embodiment provides a detergent dispensing mechanism, which includes a first piston cylinder 1, a first driving component 2, a second piston cylinder 3, and a second driving component 4. Among them, the first piston cylinder 1 includes a first piston 12 and a first cylinder body 11. One end of the first cylinder body 11 is provided with a first liquid inlet 111 and a first liquid outlet 112. The first liquid inlet 111 is provided with a first inlet check valve that opens unidirectionally into the first cylinder body 11. The first liquid outlet 112 is provided with a first outlet check valve that opens unidirectionally out of the first cylinder body 11. The first liquid inlet 111 is connected to a liquid inlet pipe 5 for communicating with the detergent box. The first liquid outlet 112 is connected to a transfer pipe 6. The first driving component 2 is used to drive the first piston 12 to expand and contract. The second piston cylinder 3 includes a second piston 32 and a second cylinder body 31. One end of the second cylinder body 31 is provided with a second liquid inlet 311 and a second liquid outlet 312. The second liquid inlet 311 is provided with a second inlet check valve that opens unidirectionally into the second cylinder body 31. The second liquid outlet 312 is provided with a second outlet check valve that opens unidirectionally out of the second cylinder body 31. The second liquid inlet 311 is connected to the transfer pipe 6. The second liquid outlet 312 is connected to a liquid outlet pipe 7 for communicating with the washing tub. The second driving component 4 is used to drive the second piston 32 to expand and contract.

[0036] When driven by the first driving component 2 to drive the first piston 12 to suck, the first inlet check valve opens and the first outlet check valve closes. At this time, the detergent in the detergent box can be sucked into the first cylinder body 11 through the liquid inlet pipe 5. When driving the first piston 12 to pump out, the first inlet check valve closes and the first outlet check valve opens. At this time, the detergent in the first cylinder body 11 can be pumped into the second cylinder body 31 through the transfer pipe 6.

[0037] Similarly, when the second piston 32 is driven by the second driving component 4 to suck, the second inlet check valve opens and the second outlet check valve closes. At this time, the detergent in the first cylinder body 11 can be sucked into the second cylinder body 31 through the adapter pipe 6. When driving the second piston 32 to pump out, the second inlet check valve closes and the second outlet check valve opens. At this time, the detergent in the second cylinder body 31 can be pumped into the washing tub through the liquid outlet pipe 7.

[0038] In this solution, the second piston cylinder 3 is connected to the washing tub through the liquid outlet pipe 7, and the pumping of the washing liquid into the washing tub is realized by the sucking and pushing actions of the second piston cylinder 3. Therefore, by only controlling the pushing times and the pushing distance of the second piston 32 of the second piston cylinder 3, the amount of detergent delivered to the washing tub can be accurately controlled.

[0039] In theory, only by setting the second piston cylinder 3 and the second driving component 4, the purpose of pumping the detergent in the detergent box into the washing tub can be achieved. However, the inventor found that since the opening of the second inlet check valve requires a certain pressure, and when the detergent supply speed is insufficient and the sucking speed of the second piston 32 is relatively fast, the detergent cannot be replenished into the second cylinder body 31 in time, which will cause the second cylinder body 31 to be insufficiently filled and there will be a certain degree of vacuum. When the second piston 32 pumps out the detergent, due to the existence of this vacuum, the first small section of displacement of the second piston 32 cannot pump out the detergent, resulting in the problem of insufficient actual pumping volume.

[0040] To further overcome the above technical problems, a first piston cylinder 1 is also provided between the second piston cylinder 3 and the detergent box in this solution. During operation, the second piston 32 first performs a sucking operation. At this time, the detergent in the detergent box will be sucked into the second cylinder body 31 after passing through the first cylinder body 11. After the second piston 32 completes the sucking, the second piston 32 then performs a pumping operation, and continues to apply pressure to pump a small amount of detergent in the second cylinder body 31 into the second cylinder body 31 to make the second cylinder body 31 fully filled, and then the second piston 32 performs a pumping operation again. To avoid bursting of the pipeline due to excessive pressure, a pressure sensor can be provided in the first cylinder body 11. The pressure sensor can feedback the pressures in the first cylinder body 11 and the second cylinder body 31 to the system. During the process of continuously applying pressure by the first piston rod 122 during operation, when it is detected that the pressure reaches the set value, the first piston rod 122 is controlled to stop pushing further.

[0041] In summary, the solution of this embodiment further improves the accuracy of the dispensing amount, avoiding the problem of inaccurate dispensing amount caused by the appearance of a vacuum in the second piston cylinder 3. Specifically, this solution also provides a first piston cylinder 1 driven by a first driving component 2 to expand and contract. The first piston cylinder 1 is connected between the detergent box and the second piston cylinder 3. During the suction process of the second piston cylinder 3, the detergent can be pumped into the second piston cylinder 3 by pressurizing with the first piston rod 122, so that the second piston cylinder 3 remains full, ensuring that the second piston 32 can push out the same amount of detergent when moving the same distance, thereby achieving the effect of ensuring high dispensing amount accuracy.

[0042] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 4-5 , the second piston 32 includes a connected second piston head 321 and a second piston rod 322. The second piston rod 322 has an external thread; the second driving component 4 includes a threaded sleeve 43 and a second motor 41. The threaded sleeve 43 is sleeved on the second piston rod 322, and the second motor 41 is in transmission connection with the threaded sleeve 43. By driving the threaded sleeve 43 to rotate with the second motor 41, the second piston 32 is driven to expand and contract.

[0043] Due to the self-locking and high-precision characteristics of screw drive, by accurately controlling the rotation angle and speed of the second motor 41, the telescopic distance of the second piston rod 322 can be very accurately controlled, thereby realizing high-precision control of the detergent dispensing amount. This control method is more accurate and reliable than the traditional method of directly pushing or pulling the piston. In addition, when screw drive transmits power, it can maintain good stability and is not prone to sliding or jumping phenomena, which helps to maintain a stable flow rate and pressure during the detergent dispensing process, avoiding fluctuations in the dispensing amount caused by system instability.

[0044] As can be seen from the above, since the cross-sectional area of the cavity of the second cylinder body 31 is fixed, when the system calculates the quantitative dispensing of detergent, only by controlling the rotation angle of the second motor 41, the moving distance of the second piston rod 322 can be accurately controlled, and the accurate control of the dispensing amount can be realized. To achieve accurate control, the second motor 41 uses a servo motor.

[0045] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 , a driven gear 44 is provided on the outer periphery of the threaded sleeve 43, and the second motor 41 is connected with a driving gear 42. The driving gear 42 meshes with the driven gear 44 to realize the transmission connection between the second motor 41 and the threaded sleeve 43.

[0046] Gear transmission is an efficient and reliable transmission method. It can effectively transmit the rotational power of the motor to the threaded sleeve 43, and then drive the telescoping of the second piston 32. Due to the stable transmission ratio and high transmission efficiency of gear transmission, the detergent dispensing mechanism can ensure stable performance and high precision during operation.

[0047] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 , at one end of the second cylinder block 31 away from the second liquid inlet 311, a rotating support 45 is fixedly installed, and the threaded sleeve 43 is rotatably installed on the rotating support 45.

[0048] The rotating support 45 provides a stable support point for the threaded sleeve 43, enabling the threaded sleeve 43 to remain stable during rotation and not prone to shaking or deviation. This helps ensure the stability and reliability of the second piston 32 during telescoping, thereby improving the precision of detergent dispensing.

[0049] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 7 , the rotating support 45 includes an upper support shell 451 and a lower support shell 452. Support bearings 454 are respectively provided on the upper support shell 451 and the lower support shell 452. Both ends of the threaded sleeve 43 are respectively connected to the support bearings 454 to achieve the rotational installation of the threaded sleeve 43. The upper support shell 451 covers the lower support shell 452, and an interface 453 is provided on one side of the upper support shell 451 and / or the lower support shell 452. The driving gear 42 extends into the rotating support 45 through the interface 453 to mesh with the driven gear 44.

[0050] By dividing the rotating support 45 into the upper support shell 451 and the lower support shell 452 and respectively arranging support bearings 454 in both to support the threaded sleeve 43, the forces and torques generated during the rotation of the threaded sleeve 43 can be effectively dispersed, thereby enhancing the structural strength and stability of the entire rotating support 45. This design helps prevent vibration and deviation caused by the rotation of the threaded sleeve 43, improving the precision and reliability of detergent dispensing. The assembled design of the upper support shell 451 and the lower support shell 452 makes the assembly of the rotating support 45 more convenient. At the same time, when it is necessary to maintain or replace the support bearing 454 or the threaded sleeve 43, only the upper support shell 451 needs to be simply disassembled for operation, reducing the maintenance difficulty and cost. In addition, the design of the interface 453 also facilitates the meshing adjustment of the driving gear 42 and the driven gear 44, improving the flexibility and efficiency of assembly.

[0051] In one embodiment, the second cylinder block 31 includes a cylinder barrel 313 and an expansion head 314 installed at one end of the cylinder barrel 313. The diameter of the expansion head 314 is larger than that of the cylinder barrel 313. The second liquid inlet 311 and the second liquid outlet 312 are both arranged on the expansion head 314.

[0052] Specifically, in order to improve the dispensing accuracy, the second cylinder block 31 is preferably set as a slender structure, so that the movement distance of the second piston rod 322 can be more accurately reflected as the dispensing amount. When the second cylinder block 31 is set as a slender structure, it is difficult to arrange the second liquid inlet 311 and the second liquid outlet 312 at its end at the same time. Therefore, in this solution, the second cylinder block 31 is set as a structure combined with a cylinder barrel 313 and an expansion head 314. The cylinder barrel 313 is set as a slender cylindrical shape, and the second piston rod 322 moves inside the cylinder barrel 313; the expansion head 314 can be enlarged in size to facilitate the arrangement of the second liquid inlet 311 and the second liquid outlet 312.

[0053] In one embodiment, the expansion head 314 has a threaded connection nozzle, and the threaded connection nozzle is threadedly connected to the cylinder barrel 313.

[0054] Connecting the expansion head 314 and the cylinder barrel 313 through the threaded connection nozzle can significantly enhance the connection strength between the two, ensuring that there is no loosening or detachment during the detergent dispensing process. Preferably, a sealing ring is arranged between the cylinder barrel 313 and the expansion head 314 to prevent detergent leakage.

[0055] In one embodiment, the inner diameter of the first cylinder block 11 is more than twice the inner diameter of the second cylinder block 31, and the telescopic stroke of the first piston 12 is less than half of the telescopic stroke of the second piston 32.

[0056] The movement distance of the second piston 32 in the second cylinder block 31 actually determines the detergent dispensing amount. Therefore, it is preferably set as a slender structure. The function of the first piston cylinder 1 is only to refill the detergent into the second cylinder block 31 repeatedly. The accuracy requirement for the movement distance of the first piston 12 is not high. Therefore, it is set as a short and thick structure, which can shorten the movement stroke of the first piston 12 and facilitate the arrangement of the first piston 12 and the first driving component 2.

[0057] In one embodiment, the first piston 12 includes a connected first piston head 121 and a first piston rod 122. One end of the first piston rod 122 away from the first piston head 121 is provided with a connection head 123, and the connection head 123 is provided with a connection long hole 124. The first driving assembly 2 includes a first motor 21 and a runner 22. The runner 22 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 21. The runner 22 is provided with a connection post 23 eccentric to the first motor 21. The connection post 23 is inserted into the long hole. By driving the runner 22 to rotate by the first motor 21, the first piston 12 is driven to expand and contract.

[0058] Since the connection post 23 is eccentric to the first motor 21, when the first motor 21 drives the runner 22 to rotate, the connection post 23 will reciprocate in the connection long hole 124, thereby driving the first piston rod 122 to expand and contract. In this solution, the accuracy requirement for controlling the moving distance of the first piston rod 122 is not high. Therefore, the first driving assembly 2 is set as a structure combined with the first motor 21 and the runner 22, which not only meets the driving requirements but also has the advantages of simple structure and low cost.

[0059] On the other hand, a washing machine is provided, including the above-mentioned detergent dispensing mechanism.

[0060] Similarly, based on the detergent dispensing mechanism of this embodiment, the washing machine of this embodiment can realize the function of automatically dispensing detergent with high precision.
