[0034] First, the detergent box of the existing drum washing machine is described. The detergent box is a common accessory on the washing machine. Add various types of detergents in the detergent box, and then push the detergent box into the washing machine for use. Existing drum washing machines are usually equipped with a detergent box. The opening or closing of the detergent box requires the use of the inverted buckle on the detergent box and the corresponding door lock mechanical device to achieve the locking of the detergent box. This traditional mechanical locking device has a relatively complex structure and many parts. At the same time, the manufacturing cost is high and the assembly is relatively complicated.
[0035] like Figures 1-9As shown in the figure, to solve the problems of the complex structure, numerous components, high manufacturing cost, and complex assembly of the mechanical locking device of the existing detergent box 1, the detergent box 1 of the present utility model includes a housing 11 and a dispenser box 12. The dispenser box 12 is used to hold detergent and is slidably arranged inside the housing 11. A lock core mounting seat 114 is provided on the housing 11. A claw 1115 is provided at the first end of the lock core 111, and a clamping groove 1141 is provided on the lock core mounting seat 114. The claw 1115 is clamped in the clamping groove 1141 to achieve the fixed installation of the lock core 111 and the lock core mounting seat 114. A first clamping protrusion 1116 and a second clamping protrusion 1117 are provided at the second end of the lock core 111. Correspondingly, a clamping platform 1142 is provided on the lock core mounting seat 114. The first clamping protrusion 1116 and the second clamping protrusion 1117 are respectively clamped on both sides of the clamping platform 1142. A lock pin 121 is provided on the dispenser box 12. The lock core 111 includes a guiding protrusion and a lock pin channel 1112 arranged around the guiding protrusion. The guiding protrusion includes a first guiding protrusion 1111 and a second guiding protrusion 1114. The first guiding protrusion 1111 includes a first guiding surface 11111, a second guiding surface 11112, and a third guiding surface 11113 connected in sequence. The lock pin 121 is guided by the first guiding surface 11111 in the first half of the lock pin channel 1112 and then clamped in the groove formed by the second guiding surface 11112 and the third guiding surface 11113 to achieve the locking of the dispenser box 12 and the housing 11. The first guiding protrusion 1111 further includes a fourth guiding surface 11114, and the fourth guiding surface 11114 is connected to the first guiding surface 11111 and the third guiding surface 11113. The guiding protrusion further includes a second guiding protrusion 1114, and the second guiding protrusion 1114 includes a fifth guiding surface 11141. The fifth guiding surface 11141 is arranged at the opening of the groove formed by the second guiding surface 11112 and the third guiding surface 11113. After the lock pin 121 disengages from the groove at the opening of the groove, it can leave the lock core 111 from the entrance of the lock pin channel 1112 along the second half of the lock pin channel 1112 under the guiding action of the fifth guiding surface 11141 and the fourth guiding surface 11114 to achieve the unlocking of the dispenser box 12 and the housing 11. A guiding bevel 1113 is provided at the entrance of the lock pin channel 1112. The lock pin 121 can enter the interior of the lock core 111 along the lock pin channel 1112 under the guiding action of the guiding bevel 1113. The detergent box 1 further includes a control panel 13. A positioning groove 131 is provided on the control panel 13. Correspondingly, a positioning post 113 is provided on the housing 11. The control panel 13 and the housing 11 are installed and positioned through the positioning groove 131 and the positioning post 113.
[0036] In the case of adopting the above-mentioned implementation manner, during the installation process of the detergent box 1 of the present utility model, first, the control panel 13 and the housing 11 are installed. The positioning groove 131 on the control panel 13 is aligned with the positioning post 113 on the housing 11 to position the control panel 13 and the housing 11, and then the control panel 13 and the housing 11 are installed by bolts and nuts. After the installation of the control panel 13 is completed, the dispenser box 12 is installed. First, the claw 1115 at the first end of the lock core 111 passes through the slot 1141 on the lock core mounting seat 114 and is clamped on the back of the slot 1141. Then, the first clamping protrusion 1116 and the second clamping protrusion 1117 arranged up and down at the second end of the lock core 111 are respectively clamped on both sides of the clamping platform 1142 of the lock core mounting seat 114, so as to realize the installation of the lock core 111 on the housing 11. The dispenser box 12 is pushed into the housing 11. During this process, the lock pin 121 at the bottom of the dispenser box 12 will first contact the guiding bevel 1113 at the entrance of the lock pin channel 1112 on the bottom surface of the housing 11, and under the guiding action of the guiding bevel 1113, it will enter the inside of the lock core 111 along the lock pin channel 1112. Since a guiding protrusion is provided inside the lock core 111 and the lock pin channel 1112 is arranged along the guiding protrusion, the lock pin 121 will contact the first guiding surface 11111 of the guiding protrusion during the movement along the lock pin channel 1112. Under the guiding of the first guiding surface 11111, the lock pin 121 moves along the lock pin channel 1112 to the innermost end of the lock core 111. At this time, the dispenser box 12 is pulled back, and the lock pin 121 continues to move along the lock pin channel 1112 and contacts the second guiding surface 11112. Since a groove is formed between the second guiding surface 11112 and the third guiding surface 11113, the lock pin 121 will move along the second guiding surface 11112 to the groove, so as to realize the locking of the dispenser box 12 and the housing 11. When it is necessary to unlock the dispenser box 12 and the housing 11, the dispenser box 12 is pushed in the direction of the inside of the lock core 111, and the lock pin 121 contacts the fifth guiding surface 11141 of the second guiding protrusion 1114 and slides to the second half of the lock pin channel 1112 under the guiding of the fifth guiding surface 11141. At this time, the dispenser box 12 is pulled back so that the lock pin 121 moves along the second half of the lock pin channel 1112 under the guiding of the fourth guiding surface 11114 until it leaves the lock core 111 from the entrance of the lock pin channel 1112, so as to realize the unlocking of the dispenser box 12 and the housing 11.
[0037] The advantages of the above setting method are as follows: The installation and disassembly process of the dispenser box 12 of the detergent box 1 of the present utility model is convenient and the structure is simple. The one-way guiding of the locking pin 121 is realized by setting a guiding surface on the guiding protrusion. At the same time, by setting a guiding bevel 1113 at the entrance of the locking pin channel 1112, it is convenient for the locking pin 121 to be positioned when entering the locking pin channel 1112, improving the accuracy of the installation of the dispenser box 12, and solving the problems of the complex structure, many components, high manufacturing cost and complex assembly of the mechanical locking device of the existing detergent box 1. In addition, the locking core 111 and the locking core mounting seat 114 are set in a snap-fit manner, which is convenient for the installation and disassembly of the locking core 111 and is beneficial to the replacement of parts.
[0038] As Figure 4 , Figure 9 shown, in a possible implementation manner, a roller 112 is arranged inside the housing 11, and a slideway 122 is correspondingly arranged on the dispenser box 12. During the pulling process of the dispenser box 12, the roller 112 can roll along the slideway 122, and slideway support ribs 123 are arranged on the slideway 122.
[0039] The advantages of the above setting method are as follows: Compared with the pulling method where the dispenser box 12 and the housing 11 are set with sliding friction, in this implementation manner, the friction between the dispenser box 12 and the housing 11 can be reduced by the setting of the roller 112 and the slideway 122, so that the pulling of the dispenser box 12 is more labor-saving. At the same time, by arranging the slideway support ribs 123 on the dispenser box 12, the structural strength of the slideway 122 is enhanced, and the structural stability is improved.
[0040] As Figure 9 shown, in a possible implementation manner, a locking pin connecting seat 1211 is further arranged between the locking pin 121 and the dispenser box 12. The locking pin 121 is connected to the dispenser box 12 through the locking pin connecting seat 1211, and reinforcing ribs 1212 are arranged on the side wall of the locking pin connecting seat 1211.
[0041] The advantages of the above setting method are as follows: By arranging the locking pin connecting seat 1211 between the locking pin 121 and the dispenser box 12 and arranging the reinforcing ribs 1212 on the side wall of the locking pin connecting seat 1211, the connection strength between the locking pin 121 and the dispenser box 12 is improved, thus avoiding the situation that the locking pin 121 collides with the guiding protrusion or the side wall of the locking pin channel 1112 and breaks in the locking pin channel 1112.
[0042] It should be noted that the above implementation manners are only used to illustrate the principle of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Without deviating from the principle of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can adjust the above structure so that the present utility model can be applied to more specific application scenarios.
[0043] In addition, the present utility model further provides a clothing treatment device, which has the detergent box 1 for the clothing treatment device mentioned in any of the above embodiments.
[0044] So far, the technical solution of the present utility model has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
