[0045] 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.

[0046] The dispensing device 1 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the dispensing device 1 according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes a first container 10 , a second container 20 , a detection component 70 and a driving component 40 .

[0048] The first container 10 defines a accommodating chamber 110 having a first side opening 111, a liquid flow channel 13 and a liquid collecting chamber 121, the liquid collecting chamber 121 is located below the accommodating chamber 110, and the accommodating chamber 110 is connected to the liquid flow channel 13 and the liquid collecting chamber 121. The second container 20 defines a liquid storage chamber 21, and the second container 20 is suitable for being push-pullable and arranged in the accommodating chamber 110 along a first direction from the first side opening 111, so that the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 and the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13 can be detachably connected.

[0049] Wherein, the second container 20 is slidably disposed in the accommodation cavity 110 along a first direction at the first side opening 111, so as to facilitate the extraction of the second container 20 from the accommodation cavity 110, and facilitate the user to add liquid into the liquid storage cavity 21. The liquid storage cavity 21 is used for storing liquid (the liquid storage cavity 21 can be used for storing laundry treatment agents, such as laundry detergent, care liquid, fragrance liquid, etc.). When the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 21 can enter the predetermined area through the liquid flow channel 13

[0050] The detection component 70 is used to detect the docking state between the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 and the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13. The driving component 40 is adapted to start in a state where the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is disengaged from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, so as to drive the liquid in the liquid collection cavity 121 to flow towards the predetermined area

[0051] When the second container 20 moves in the accommodation cavity 110, a relative movement occurs between the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 and the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13. At this time, the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 21 easily flows from the gap between the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 and the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13 into the accommodation cavity 110. Since the liquid collection cavity 121 is located below the accommodation cavity 110, the liquid in the accommodation cavity 110 can flow into the liquid collection cavity 121. When the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is disengaged from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, the driving component 40 starts to drive the liquid in the liquid collection cavity 121 to flow towards the predetermined area

[0052] That is to say, while the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 21 flows from the gap between the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 and the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13 into the accommodation cavity 110, the driving component 40 drives the liquid in the liquid collection cavity 121 to flow towards the predetermined area, realizing the balance of liquid inflow and outflow in the liquid collection cavity 121, so as not to store too much liquid in the liquid collection cavity 121, so as to avoid the liquid in the liquid collection cavity 121 overflowing into the accommodation cavity 110 and avoid the liquid leaking from the first side opening 111 of the accommodation cavity 110 into the environment

[0053] At the same time, in this way, it is not necessary to design the volume of the liquid collection cavity 121 too large, which is convenient for reducing the occupied space of the liquid collection cavity 121, so as to reduce the occupied space of the dispensing device 1 while being able to collect the liquid leaking from the gap between the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 and the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13

[0054] In addition, when the driving component 40 drives the liquid in the liquid collection cavity 121 to flow towards the predetermined area, the driving component 40 can promote the liquid in the accommodation cavity 110 to flow into the liquid collection cavity 121, so as to reduce the residue of the liquid in the accommodation cavity 110, so as to collect the liquid leaking into the accommodation cavity 110 and avoid the liquid leaking from the first side opening 111 of the accommodation cavity 110 into the environment

[0055] Specifically, the liquid collection chamber 121 is used to collect the liquid flowing out from the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21, and the driving assembly 40 is activated to drive the liquid in the liquid collection chamber 121 to flow towards a predetermined area, so as to prevent the liquid from overflowing in the accommodation chamber 110, and prevent the liquid from flowing to the interior of the room from the first side opening 111 along the wall surface of the accommodation chamber 110, which may affect the indoor environment, or flowing to the interior of the laundry treatment device during rinsing or dehydration, affecting the washing effect; or flowing to the internal circuit of the laundry treatment device, affecting the normal operation of the laundry treatment device.

[0056] Meanwhile, the liquid collection chamber 121 is used to receive the liquid leaking from the gap between the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 and the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, which is convenient for reducing the waste of liquid.

[0057] In addition, when disassembling the first container 10 and the second container 20, if there is too much liquid in the liquid collection chamber 121, it is easy to splash into the room. The driving assembly 40 is activated in the state where the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is disengaged from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, so as to drive the liquid in the liquid collection chamber 121 to flow towards a predetermined area. This can reduce the liquid remaining in the liquid collection chamber 121 and the accommodation chamber 110, and then facilitate the disassembly of the first container 10 and the second container 20, and facilitate the cleaning of the liquid collection chamber 121 and the accommodation chamber 110, which is convenient for improving the user experience.

[0058] It should be explained here that the predetermined area is a pre-set area that can be used to receive liquid. In some embodiments, the predetermined area is the laundry treatment chamber of the laundry treatment device. The driving assembly 40 is activated in the state where the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is disengaged from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, so as to drive the liquid in the liquid collection chamber 121 to flow towards the laundry treatment device.

[0059] In some other embodiments, the dispensing device 1 includes a dispensing assembly, the dispensing assembly defines a dispensing chamber, the predetermined area is the dispensing chamber, and the driving assembly 40 is activated in the state where the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is disengaged from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, so as to drive the liquid in the liquid collection chamber 121 to flow towards the dispensing chamber.

[0060] Therefore, the dispensing device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention can collect the liquid leaking into the accommodation chamber 110 by setting the liquid collection chamber 121, and the driving assembly 40 is activated when the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is disengaged from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, which can achieve the balance of liquid inlet and outlet in the liquid collection chamber 121, so as to prevent too much liquid from being stored in the liquid collection chamber 121, prevent the liquid in the liquid collection chamber 121 from overflowing into the accommodation chamber 110, and prevent the liquid from leaking from the first side opening 111.

[0061] Next, the dispensing device 1 according to the specific embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0062] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such asFigures 1-4 As shown, the dispensing device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first container 10, a second container 20, a detection assembly 70, and a driving assembly 40.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 , 4 shown, in a state where the second container 20 opens the first side opening 111, the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is separated from the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, and in a state where the second container 20 closes the first side opening 111, the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13.

[0064] The detection assembly 70 determines the docking state of the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 and the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13 by detecting the position of the second container 20. When the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is separated from the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, the detection assembly 70 can accurately detect this position, and then can transmit a signal to the driving assembly 40, so that the driving assembly 40 drives the liquid in the liquid collection cavity 121 to flow towards a predetermined area.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second container 20 can move along a first direction. When the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 21 enters the liquid passing channel 13 through the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13 and flows along the liquid passing channel 13 towards a predetermined area.

[0066] When the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is gradually separated from the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, when the detection assembly 70 detects that the second container 20 moves to a specified position along the first direction and the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is separated from the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, the driving assembly 40 is activated to drive the liquid in the liquid collection cavity 121 to flow towards a predetermined area.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, the detection assembly 70 includes a sensing member 72 and a cooperating member 71. One of the sensing member 72 and the cooperating member 71 is provided on the first container 10 and the other is provided on the second container 20. When the second container 20 moves along the first direction, the signal sensed between the sensing member 72 and the cooperating member 71 changes, that is, when the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13 and when the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is separated from the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, the signals detected by the detection assembly 70 are different, so as to use the detection assembly 70 to determine the position of the second container 20, determine whether the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is separated from the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, and then when the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is separated from the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, the driving assembly 40 is activated to drive the liquid in the liquid collection cavity 121 to flow towards a predetermined area.

[0068] For example, when the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is connected to the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, the signal detected by the detection component 70 is the first signal, and when the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is separated from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, the signal detected by the detection component 70 is the second signal. Therefore, when the signal switches from the first signal to the second signal, the driving component 40 is activated to drive the liquid in the liquid collection chamber 121 to flow toward the predetermined area.

[0069] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, when the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, the sensing member 72 and the matching member 71 are arranged opposite each other in the second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. At this time, through the induction between the sensing member 72 and the matching member 71, the detection component 70 can determine that the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13. When the second container 20 moves along the first direction to open the first side opening 111, the sensing member 72 and the matching member 71 are gradually staggered along the second direction. When the second container 20 moves to the specified position, the detection component 70 can determine that the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is separated from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13. At this time, the driving component 40 is started to drive the liquid in the liquid collecting chamber 121 to flow toward the predetermined area.

[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the matching piece 71 is arranged in the first container 10, and the sensing piece 72 is arranged in the second container 20. The first direction extends along the front-to-back direction, and the second direction extends along the up-down direction. The sensing piece 72 is located below the matching piece 71. When the second container 20 moves in the accommodating cavity 110 along the front-to-back direction, the sensing piece 72 moves in the front-to-back direction relative to the matching piece 71.

[0071] Specifically, the detection component 70 can determine the position of the second container 20 by detecting the distance between the sensing component 72 and the matching component 71 , and further determine whether the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is separated from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13 .

[0072] When the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is connected to the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, the sensing member 72 moves to directly below the matching member 71. At this time, the distance between the sensing member 72 and the matching member 71 is the smallest. At this time, the distance between the sensing member 72 and the matching member 71 is the first preset distance.

[0073] When the second container 20 moves in the front-to-back direction and the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is gradually separated from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, the distance between the sensing member 72 and the matching member 71 gradually increases, and the driving component 40 is suitable for opening when the distance between the sensing member 72 and the matching member 71 is greater than the first preset distance; or the driving component 40 is suitable for opening when the distance between the sensing member 72 and the matching member 71 is greater than the second preset distance, and the second preset distance is greater than the first preset distance.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown, the second container 20 is movable between a first position and a second position along a first direction. When the second container 20 is in the second position, the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13. At this time, the sensing member 72 is located directly below the cooperating member 71. In this way, when the second container 20 moves from the first position to the second position, the distance between the sensing member 72 and the cooperating member 71 gradually decreases, and there will be no situation where the distance between the sensing member 72 and the cooperating member 71 first decreases and then increases, avoiding sensing errors.

[0075] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the sensing member 72 is a magnetic member, and the cooperating member 71 is a reed switch. When the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, the reed switch is disconnected from the electrical connection; or, when the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, the reed switch is electrically connected, so as to determine the position of the second container 20 according to the electrical signal at the reed switch, and further determine whether the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13. Furthermore, when the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is separated from the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, the driving assembly 40 is started to drive the liquid in the liquid collecting chamber 121 to flow towards a predetermined area.

[0076] In some embodiments, the reed switch is in a normally-conductive state. When the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13 and the magnetic member is near the reed switch, the magnetic member magnetizes the conductive part in the reed switch, so that the reed switch is disconnected from the electrical connection. Therefore, when the reed switch switches from being disconnected from the electrical connection to being electrically connected, the driving assembly 40 is started to drive the liquid in the liquid collecting chamber 121 to flow towards a predetermined area.

[0077] In some other embodiments, the reed switch is in a normally-disconnected state. When the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13 and the magnetic member is near the reed switch, the magnetic member magnetizes the conductive part in the reed switch, so that the reed switch is electrically connected. Therefore, when the reed switch switches from being electrically connected to being disconnected from the electrical connection, the driving assembly 40 is started to drive the liquid in the liquid collecting chamber 121 to flow towards a predetermined area.

[0078] In some examples, the reed switch has a first conductive part and a second conductive part, and the first conductive part and the second conductive part are normally in a separated state. When the second container 20 moves along the first direction to the position where the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, the magnetic member is near the reed switch. At this time, the magnetic member magnetizes the first conductive part and the second conductive part, so that the first conductive part and the second conductive part have opposite magnetisms, so that there is an attractive force between the first conductive part and the second conductive part, and further the first conductive part and the second conductive part are electrically connected. At this time, the reed switch is electrically connected.

[0079] When the second container 20 moves along the first direction, the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is gradually separated from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13. When the magnetic member moves in the direction away from the reed switch, the magnetizing effect of the magnetic member on the first conductive part and the second conductive part gradually weakens. After the magnetic member moves a certain distance, the first conductive part and the second conductive part lose their magnetism, and the reed switch disconnects the electrical connection.

[0080] That is, when the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is connected to the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, the reed switch is electrically connected, and when the reed switch is electrically disconnected, the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is separated from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13. Therefore, when the reed switch switches from electrically connected to electrically disconnected, the driving assembly 40 is activated to drive the liquid in the liquid collection chamber 121 to flow toward the predetermined area.

[0081] It should be explained here that the reed switch may disconnect the electrical connection just when the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is separated from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13; or the reed switch may disconnect the electrical connection after the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is separated from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13 and the second container 20 continues to move for a distance. No excessive restrictions are imposed here.

[0082] Specifically, when the distance between the reed switch and the magnetic part is less than or equal to a third preset distance, the magnetic part magnetizes the first conductive part and the second conductive part, and the reed switch is in electrical connection; when the distance between the reed switch and the magnetic part is greater than the third preset distance, the reed switch disconnects the electrical connection.

[0083] In some examples, when the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is connected to the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, the reed switch and the magnetic component are facing each other along the second direction. At this time, the distance between the reed switch and the magnetic component is a third preset distance. Therefore, when the second container 20 moves, the distance between the reed switch and the magnetic component will be greater than the third preset distance. At this time, the driving assembly 40 is started to drive the liquid in the liquid collection chamber 121 to flow toward the predetermined area.

[0084] In other examples, when the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is connected to the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, the reed switch and the magnetic component are facing each other along the second direction. At this time, the distance between the reed switch and the magnetic component is a fourth preset distance, and the fourth preset distance is smaller than the third preset distance. Therefore, after the second container 20 moves and moves a certain distance, the distance between the reed switch and the magnetic component will be greater than the third preset distance. That is to say, after the second container 20 moves and moves a certain distance, the drive assembly 40 will be started to drive the liquid in the liquid collection chamber 121 to flow toward the predetermined area.

[0085] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, Figures 5-8, the outer wall of the second container 20 defines a recess 23, and the other of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 is disposed in the recess 23 to dispose the other of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 on the second container 20. The recess 23 reserves space for the other of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 to prevent the other of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 from rubbing against the side wall of the accommodation cavity 110 when the second container 20 is moved in the first direction.

[0086] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second container 20 is provided with a limiting arm 241. One end of the limiting arm 241 is close to the recess 23 and the other end is provided with a clamping protrusion 242 for restricting the other of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 in the recess 23. The clamping protrusion 242 abuts against the end face of the other of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 to fix the other of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 in the recess 23.

[0087] Wherein, the other end of the limiting arm 241 is a free end, and the limiting arm 241 is disposed opposite to the first side wall of the recess 23. When fixing the other of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 on the recess 23, the other end of the limiting arm 241 can be moved away from the first side wall to increase the size of the recess 23, so that the other of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 can be placed in the recess 23. When the other of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 is placed in place, the limiting arm 241 resumes deformation, and the clamping protrusion 242 at the other end of the limiting arm 241 abuts against the end face of the other of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 to fix the other of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 in the recess 23.

[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, a clamping protrusion 242 is also provided on the first side wall. The sensing member 72 is disposed in the recess 23. The recess 23 is located on the upper end face of the second container 20. The recess 23 has an upper opening. The first side wall is the front side wall of the recess 23, and the limiting arm 241 defines the rear side wall of the recess 23. When the sensing member 72 is installed into the recess 23 from the upper opening of the recess 23, the upper end of the limiting arm 241 deforms backward. When the sensing member 72 is installed in place, the upper end of the limiting arm 241 deforms forward and the clamping protrusion 242 on the limiting arm 241 and the clamping protrusion 242 on the first side wall both abut against the upper end face of the sensing member 72 to fix the sensing member 72 in the recess 23 and prevent the sensing member 72 from falling off the second container 20 when the second container 20 is moved.

[0089] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 9 、 Figure 10As shown, the first container 10 defines a placement cavity, and one of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 is disposed in the placement cavity to dispose one of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 on the first container 10.

[0090] In some specific embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 9 As shown, the placement cavity is located on the outer periphery of the accommodation cavity 110, so that one of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 does not occupy the space inside the accommodation cavity 110, so as to avoid interference of one of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 with the movement of the second container 20.

[0091] The first container 10 is provided with a limiting post 19, the limiting post 19 is provided with a first fixing hole, one of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 is provided with a second fixing hole, and one of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 is fixed to the placement cavity by a fastener, and the fastener passes through the first fixing hole and the second fixing hole to fix one of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 on the first container 10, so as to prevent one of the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 from falling off from the placement cavity.

[0092] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5-10 As shown, the mating member 71 is disposed on the first container 10, the sensing member 72 is disposed on the second container 20, the first direction extends in the front-rear direction, the second direction extends in the up-down direction, the concave portion 23 is located on the upper end surface of the second container 20, the concave portion 23 has an upper opening, the placement cavity is located on the upper end surface of the first container 10, the placement cavity is located above the concave portion 23, and when the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is in butt joint with the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, the concave portion 23 and the placement cavity are directly opposite in the up-down direction.

[0093] By making the opening of the concave portion 23 face upward, that is, the opening of the concave portion 23 faces the placement cavity and the mating member 71 in the placement cavity, the wall of the first container 10 will not block between the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71, and the only thing blocking between the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 is the wall of the accommodation cavity 110, which is convenient for the sensing member 72 and the mating member 71 to interact with each other, and further facilitates the detection assembly 70 to accurately detect the position of the second container 20.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the dispensing device 1 further includes a dispensing assembly, the dispensing assembly defines a dispensing cavity, and the driving assembly 40 is adapted to be activated in a state where the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is disengaged from the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, so as to dispense the liquid in the liquid collection cavity 121 into the dispensing cavity, and the liquid flows to a predetermined area after being mixed with water in the dispensing cavity to fully dissolve the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 21, such as dissolving laundry detergent, care liquid, fragrance liquid, etc.

[0095] In some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, the second container 20 defines a plurality of liquid storage chambers 21, and the first container 10 defines a plurality of liquid passing channels 13 and a plurality of liquid collecting chambers 121. The plurality of liquid passing channels 13, the plurality of liquid collecting chambers 121 and the plurality of liquid storage chambers 21 correspond to each other one by one. The plurality of liquid collecting chambers 121 communicate with the accommodating chamber 110 through a plurality of first liquid passing ports 112.

[0096] Among them, when pushing or pulling the second container 20 easily causes the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 21 to flow into the accommodating chamber 110 through the gap between the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 and the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, the liquid enters the corresponding liquid collecting chamber 121 from the corresponding first liquid passing port 112, so as to separately collect the liquids leaking from different liquid storage chambers 21. In this way, when the liquids in the liquid storage chambers 21 are different liquids, different liquids can be flexibly dispensed according to requirements.

[0097] Specifically, the second container 20 defines two liquid storage chambers 21. One liquid storage chamber 21 is used to store laundry detergent, and the other liquid storage chamber 21 is used to store care liquid. The first container 10 defines two liquid passing channels 13 and two liquid collecting chambers 121. The two liquid passing channels 13, the two liquid collecting chambers 121 and the two liquid storage chambers 21 correspond to each other one by one.

[0098] When pushing or pulling the second container 20, the laundry detergent in one of the liquid storage chambers 21 easily leaks into the accommodating chamber 110 through the gap between the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 and the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13. The laundry detergent enters the corresponding liquid collecting chamber 121 from the corresponding first liquid passing port 112, so as to store the leaked laundry detergent in the corresponding liquid collecting chamber 121. The care liquid in the other liquid storage chamber 21 easily leaks into the accommodating chamber 110 through the gap between the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 and the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13. The care liquid enters the corresponding liquid collecting chamber 121 from the corresponding first liquid passing port 112, so as to store the leaked care liquid in the corresponding liquid collecting chamber 121.

[0099] By storing the laundry detergent and the care liquid in different liquid storage chambers 21 and storing the leaked laundry detergent and care liquid in the corresponding liquid collecting chambers 121, it is convenient for the driving assembly 40 to sequentially dispense the laundry detergent and the care liquid into the dispensing chamber, and avoid mixing of the laundry detergent and the care liquid in the dispensing pump.

[0100] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 11As shown, the bottom wall of the accommodation cavity 110 includes a first bottom wall 114 and a second bottom wall 115. The first bottom wall 114 and the second bottom wall 115 extend downward away from each other. The first liquid passing openings 112 corresponding to at least two liquid collecting cavities 121 are respectively provided at one ends of the first bottom wall 114 and the second bottom wall 115 away from each other. Under the action of gravity, the first bottom wall 114 guides the liquid leaked from one of the liquid storage cavities 21 to the corresponding first liquid passing opening 112 to store the liquid in the corresponding liquid collecting cavity 121, and the second bottom wall 115 guides the liquid leaked from the other liquid storage cavity 21 to the corresponding first liquid passing opening 112 to store the liquid in the corresponding liquid collecting cavity 121.

[0101] In some embodiments, the first bottom wall 114 extends downward to the left, and the second bottom wall 115 extends downward to the right. One of the liquid collecting cavities 121 is provided below the left end of the first bottom wall 114 so that the liquid in the accommodation cavity 110 can flow along the first bottom wall 114 to the corresponding liquid collecting cavity 121. The other liquid collecting cavity 121 is provided below the right end of the second bottom wall 115 so that the liquid in the accommodation cavity 110 can flow along the second bottom wall 115 to the corresponding liquid collecting cavity 121.

[0102] In some embodiments, as Figure 11 shown, the first bottom wall 114 and the second bottom wall 115 are connected with an arc transition so that the bottom wall of the accommodation cavity 110 forms a continuous arc structure, which is convenient for improving the appearance of the first container 10 and making the appearance of the dispensing device 1 more beautiful, and is convenient for improving the visual experience of the user.

[0103] In some examples, the dispensing device 1 is applied to a laundry treatment device. The bottom walls of the first container 10 and the second container 20 are both formed into a continuous arc structure so that the second container 20 can adapt to the space in the accommodation cavity 110 and the second container 20 can be slidably arranged in the accommodation cavity 110. Wherein, the housing 91 of the laundry treatment device has a laundry dispensing opening 912 and a mounting opening 911. The laundry dispensing opening 912 is a circular through opening. The first container 10 and the second container 20 are arranged above the laundry dispensing opening 912 and are adapted to the outer edge of the laundry dispensing opening 912, which is convenient for improving the harmony between the laundry dispensing opening 912 and the first container 10 and the second container 20, and further convenient for improving the appearance of the laundry treatment device.

[0104] In some embodiments, as Figure 11As shown, a first partition member 14 extending in a first direction is provided on the bottom wall of the accommodation cavity 110. At least two liquid collection cavities 121 are located on both sides of the first partition member 14. The bottom of the second container 20 is slidably engaged with the first partition member 14. On the one hand, the first partition member 14 can limit the sliding direction of the first container 10, so that the first container 10 can slide smoothly along the first direction. On the other hand, the first partition member 14 can separate the outlets of different liquid storage cavities 21 to prevent the liquids leaking from the outlets of different liquid storage cavities 21 from mixing in the accommodation cavity 110.

[0105] For example, the second container 20 defines two liquid storage cavities 21. One liquid storage cavity 21 is used to store laundry detergent, and the other liquid storage cavity 21 is used to store care liquid. The first container 10 defines two liquid flow channels 13 and two liquid collection cavities 121. The first direction extends in the front-rear direction. The first partition member 14 is provided in the middle of the accommodation cavity 110 to divide the accommodation cavity 110 into left and right parts. The two liquid flow channels 13, the two liquid collection cavities 121, and the two liquid storage cavities 21 are all located on the left and right sides of the first partition member 14. The liquid storage cavity 21 on the left side of the first partition member 14 is communicated with the liquid flow channel 13 on the left side of the first partition member 14, and the liquid storage cavity 21 on the right side of the first partition member 14 is communicated with the liquid flow channel 13 on the right side of the first partition member 14.

[0106] Among them, the first partition member 14 can separate the outlets of the left and right two liquid storage cavities 21. When the laundry detergent in one of the liquid storage cavities 21 leaks out, the first partition member 14 can confine this part of the laundry detergent to the left side of the accommodation cavity 110 and enter the corresponding liquid collection cavity 121 through the first liquid passing port 112 on the left side of the first partition member 14. When the care liquid in the other liquid storage cavity 21 leaks out, the first partition member 14 can confine this part of the care liquid to the right side of the accommodation cavity 110 and enter the corresponding liquid collection cavity 121 through the first liquid passing port 112 on the right side of the first partition member 14. Such a setting can prevent the laundry detergent and the care liquid leaking from the liquid storage cavity 21 from mixing in the accommodation cavity 110, and prevent the mixed laundry detergent and care liquid from being delivered to the delivery cavity by the driving assembly 40, which affects the effects of the laundry detergent and the care liquid.

[0107] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 shown, a first sliding groove 28 is provided at the bottom of the second container 20. The first sliding groove 28 extends in the first direction. A part of the first partition member 14 extends into the first sliding groove 28 and is slidably engaged with the first sliding groove 28, so that the second container 20 can be slidably pulled along the first direction and arranged in the accommodation cavity 110.

[0108] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 、 Figure 5As shown, the second container 20 has a top opening 22 communicating with the liquid storage chamber 21. A cover body 30 is provided at the top opening 22. The cover body 30 is used to open or close the top opening 22. A handle portion 29 is provided on the side of the second container 20 facing away from the first container 10. The user can push and pull the second container 20 by operating the handle portion 29, which is convenient for improving the convenience of user operation.

[0109] In some examples, the first direction extends along the front-back direction (it should be understood here that the above direction definition is only for facilitating the description of the drawings and will not limit the actual installation position and direction of the dispensing device 1). The handle portion 29 is provided on the front side of the second container 20. The user can push and pull the second container 20 along the front-back direction by operating the handle portion 29. When the user pulls the second container 20 forward, a part of the second container 20 extends out from the first side opening 111 to expose the cover body 30. By rotating the cover body 30, the top opening 22 can be opened. At this time, the liquid can be added into the liquid storage chamber 21 through the top opening 22. After adding the liquid into the liquid storage chamber 21, the cover body 30 can be rotated to close the top opening 22, and then the handle portion 29 is operated to push the second container 20 backward, so that the second container 20 moves backward into the accommodation chamber 110.

[0110] In some embodiments, the cover body 30 is in threaded cooperation with the inner wall of the top opening 22, and an operation portion 31 is provided on the side of the cover body 30 facing away from the second container 20. The user can rotate the cover body 30 by operating the operation portion 31 to open or close the top opening 22.

[0111] In some specific embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 shown, the driving assembly 40 includes a suction pump 43. The number of the suction pumps 43 is one, and the suction pump 43 is used to sequentially dispense the liquid in multiple liquid collection chambers 121 into the dispensing chamber, so as to sequentially dispense the liquid in multiple liquid collection chambers 121 into the dispensing chamber in sequence, avoiding the mixing of different liquids in different liquid storage chambers 21 in the suction pump 43.

[0112] In some embodiments, the second container 20 defines two liquid storage chambers 21. One liquid storage chamber 21 is used to store laundry detergent, and the other liquid storage chamber 21 is used to store care liquid. The first container 10 defines two liquid flow channels 13 and two liquid collection chambers 121. The two liquid flow channels 13, the two liquid collection chambers 121 correspond to the two liquid storage chambers 21 one by one. The two liquid collection chambers 121 communicate with the accommodation chamber 110 through two first liquid passing ports 112. The two liquid collection chambers 121 are respectively the first liquid collection chamber and the second liquid collection chamber. When the second container 20 is pulled and pushed, a small amount of laundry detergent will flow into the first liquid collection chamber, and a small amount of care liquid will flow into the second liquid collection chamber.

[0113] The dispensing component includes a first dispensing chamber, a second dispensing chamber, and a dissolution chamber. The first dispensing chamber is in communication with the dissolution chamber, and the second dispensing chamber is in communication with the dissolution chamber. The suction pump 43 is in communication with the first liquid collection chamber and the first dispensing chamber, and is also in communication with the second liquid collection chamber and the second dispensing chamber.

[0114] In a state where the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is separated from the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, the suction pump 43 first rotates in the forward direction to dispense the laundry detergent in the first liquid collection chamber into the first dispensing chamber. Then, the suction pump 43 rotates in the reverse direction to dispense the care liquid in the second liquid collection chamber 121 into the second dispensing chamber.

[0115] When the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13 and the laundry treating device is washing the clothes, the suction pump 43 rotates in the forward direction to dispense the laundry detergent in the liquid storage chamber 21 into the first dispensing chamber. The laundry detergent in the first dispensing chamber enters the dissolution chamber, mixes with water, and then enters the laundry treating chamber of the laundry treating device. After the laundry treating device works for a period of time, the suction pump 43 rotates in the reverse direction to dispense the care liquid in the liquid storage chamber 21 into the second dispensing chamber. The laundry detergent in the second dispensing chamber enters the dissolution chamber, mixes with water, and then enters the laundry treating chamber of the laundry treating device.

[0116] In some other specific embodiments of the present utility model, the number of the suction pumps 43 is multiple. The multiple suction pumps 43 are in one-to-one correspondence and communication with the multiple liquid collection chambers 121 to respectively dispense the liquids in the multiple liquid collection chambers 121 into the dispensing chamber. The multiple suction pumps 43 are started in sequence to sequentially dispense the liquids in the multiple liquid collection chambers 121 into the dispensing chamber in sequence.

[0117] In some embodiments, the second container 20 defines two liquid storage chambers 21. One of the liquid storage chambers 21 is used to store laundry detergent, and the other liquid storage chamber 21 is used to store care liquid. The first container 10 defines two liquid passing channels 13 and two liquid collection chambers 121. The two liquid passing channels 13, the two liquid collection chambers 121, and the two liquid storage chambers 21 are in one-to-one correspondence. The two liquid collection chambers 121 are in communication with the accommodation chamber 110 through two first liquid passing ports 112. The two liquid collection chambers 121 are respectively the first liquid collection chamber and the second liquid collection chamber. When the second container 20 is pulled, a small amount of laundry detergent will flow into the first liquid collection chamber, and a small amount of care liquid will flow into the second liquid collection chamber.

[0118] The dispensing component includes a first dispensing chamber, a second dispensing chamber, and a dissolution chamber. The first dispensing chamber is in communication with the dissolution chamber, and the second dispensing chamber is in communication with the dissolution chamber. The suction pump 43 is in communication with the first liquid collection chamber and the first dispensing chamber, and is also in communication with the second liquid collection chamber and the second dispensing chamber.

[0119] The two suction pumps 43 are respectively a first suction pump 43 and a second suction pump 43. When the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is separated from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, the first suction pump 43 works first to put the laundry detergent in the first liquid collection cavity into the first dosing cavity. Then the second suction pump 43 works to put the care liquid in the second liquid collection cavity into the second dosing cavity.

[0120] When the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13 and the laundry treating device is washing the laundry, the first suction pump 43 works to put the laundry detergent in the liquid storage cavity 21 into the first dosing cavity. The laundry detergent in the first dosing cavity enters the dissolution cavity, mixes with water, and then enters the laundry treating cavity of the laundry treating device. After the laundry treating device works for a period of time, the second suction pump 43 works to put the care liquid in the liquid storage cavity 21 into the second dosing cavity. The laundry detergent in the second dosing cavity enters the dissolution cavity, mixes with water, and then enters the laundry treating cavity of the laundry treating device.

[0121] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the second container 20 has a top opening 22 communicating with the liquid storage cavity 21. One of the second container 20 and the first container 10 is provided with a first elastic abutting portion 26 and the other is provided with a first abutting and cooperating portion. Wherein, the second container 20 is movable between a first position and a second position along a first direction. At the first position, the first elastic abutting portion 26 abuts against the first abutting and cooperating portion, and a part of the second container 20 extends out from the first side opening 111 to expose the top opening 22. At this time, liquid can be added into the liquid storage cavity 21 from the top opening 22. By providing the first elastic abutting portion 26 and the first abutting and cooperating portion, the sliding distance of the second container 20 in the accommodating cavity 110 can be limited, and the second container 20 can be prevented from being disengaged from the first container 10.

[0122] In addition, by using the cooperation between the first elastic abutting portion 26 and the first abutting and cooperating portion, when the user pulls the second container 20 and the first elastic abutting portion 26 collides with the first abutting and cooperating portion, the first elastic abutting portion 26 can undergo elastic deformation to absorb part of the impact force, so as to facilitate reducing the noise generated when the first elastic abutting portion 26 and the first abutting and cooperating portion collide, reducing the noise generated when the first container 10 and the second container 20 collide, and facilitating improving the user experience.

[0123] At the second position, the first elastic abutting portion 26 is disengaged from the first abutting and cooperating portion, and the top opening 22 is located in the accommodating cavity 110 to use the accommodating cavity 110 to close the top opening 22, so as to prevent dust or other pollutants in the environment from entering the accommodating cavity 110 from the top opening 22 and prevent the pollutants from polluting the liquid in the accommodating cavity 110.

[0124] In some embodiments, the first direction extends in the front - rear direction. The upper end surface of the second container 20 is provided with a first elastic abutting portion 26, and the upper top wall of the accommodating cavity 110 is provided with a first abutting and cooperating portion. When the second container 20 moves forward to the first position, the first elastic abutting portion 26 cooperates with the first abutting and cooperating portion to limit the forward movement distance of the second container 20, prevent the second container 20 from moving out of the accommodating cavity 110, and avoid the disengagement of the second container 20 from the first container 10.

[0125] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 shown, a plurality of first elastic abutting portions 26 are provided on the upper end of the second container 20. The plurality of first elastic abutting portions 26 are spaced apart. When the second container 20 moves to the first position, the plurality of first elastic abutting portions 26 abut against the corresponding first abutting and cooperating portions. When the first elastic abutting portion 26 is subjected to an impact force, the first elastic abutting portion 26 can undergo elastic deformation to absorb part of the impact force, thereby being able to fully reduce the noise generated when the first elastic abutting portion 26 and the first abutting and cooperating portion collide, and facilitating the improvement of the user experience.

[0126] Among them, the first abutting and cooperating portion is arranged inside the accommodating cavity 110, the cooperating member 71 is arranged outside the accommodating cavity 110, the cooperating member 71 is located at the rear end of the first abutting and cooperating portion. The plurality of first elastic abutting portions 26 and the sensing member 72 are both arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the second container 20, and the first elastic abutting portion 26 and the sensing member 72 are spaced apart, and the sensing member 72 is arranged at the rear end of the first elastic abutting portion 26.

[0127] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 、 Figure 8 shown, the first elastic abutting portion 26 includes a first mounting bracket 261 and a first elastic member 262. The first elastic member 262 is arranged on the first mounting bracket 261. The first mounting bracket 261 is used to support the position of the first elastic member 262, and the first elastic member 262 is used to abut and cooperate with the first abutting and cooperating portion.

[0128] Among them, when the second container 20 moves to the first position and the first elastic member 262 collides with the first abutting and cooperating portion, the first elastic member 262 can undergo elastic deformation to absorb the collision force between the first elastic member 262 and the first abutting and cooperating portion, thereby reducing the noise generated when the first elastic member 262 and the first abutting and cooperating portion collide, and reducing the noise generated when the first container 10 and the second container 20 collide.

[0129] In some embodiments, the first elastic member 262 and the first mounting bracket 261 are connected together by a snap - fit method to fix the first elastic member 262 on the first mounting bracket 261.

[0130] In some other examples, the first elastic member 262 and the first mounting bracket 261 are connected together by an adhesive method to facilitate fixing the first elastic member 262 on the first mounting bracket 261, and the first elastic member 262 is matched with the first elastic abutting portion 26.

[0131] In still some other examples, the first elastic member 262 and the first mounting bracket 261 are connected together by an integral injection molding method. Among them, the first elastic member 262 and the first mounting bracket 261 can be made of different materials. For example, the first mounting bracket 261 is made of a metal material with a relatively high hardness so that the first mounting bracket 261 is not easily deformed, enabling the first mounting bracket 261 to stably fix the first elastic member 262 at a specified position. The first elastic member 262 is made of a rubber material, and the first elastic member 262 and the first mounting bracket 261 are connected together by two-color injection molding.

[0132] The following is based on the attached Figures 12-16 Describe a laundry treatment device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0133] The laundry treatment device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a dosing device 1 according to the above embodiment of the present invention.

[0134] For the laundry treatment device according to an embodiment of the present invention, by using the dosing device 1 according to the above embodiment of the present invention and by providing a liquid collecting cavity 121, it is possible to collect the liquid leaking into the accommodating cavity 110, so that the driving assembly 40 is started when the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is disengaged from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, and it is possible to achieve the balance of liquid inflow and outflow in the liquid collecting cavity 121, so as to avoid excessive liquid storage in the liquid collecting cavity 121, prevent the liquid in the liquid collecting cavity 121 from overflowing into the accommodating cavity 110, and prevent the liquid from leaking from the first side opening 111.

[0135] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 12 、 Figure 13 As shown, the laundry treatment device further includes a housing 91 and a door body. The housing 91 has an installation opening 911 and a laundry dosing opening 912 arranged at intervals. The dosing device 1 is arranged at the installation opening 911. The door body is pivotally arranged on the housing 91 for opening or closing the laundry dosing opening 912. When the door body opens the laundry dosing opening 912, laundry can be put into the laundry treatment cavity of the laundry treatment device from the laundry dosing opening 912, and then the door body closes the laundry dosing opening 912 so that the laundry treatment device can treat the laundry.

[0136] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 13As shown, the outer surface of the housing 91 has a mounting recess 910. The mounting opening 911 and the clothing feeding opening 912 are both provided on the bottom wall of the mounting recess 910. When the door body closes the clothing feeding opening 912, the door body is located in the mounting recess 910 and covers the feeding device 1, so as to protect the feeding device 1 while the door body closes the clothing feeding opening 912.

[0137] Specifically, when the door body is opened, the second container 20 can be moved in the first direction to supplement liquid into the liquid storage cavity 21. When the door body is closed, the first container 10 and the second container 20 can be hidden, which is beneficial to improving the appearance of the clothing treatment device.

[0138] It should be explained here that the door body can close the clothing feeding opening 912 only when the second container 20 closes the first side opening 111.

[0139] In some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, the clothing treatment device further includes a clothing treatment cylinder assembly and a water inlet pump. The clothing treatment cylinder assembly is arranged in the housing 91 and defines a clothing treatment cavity. The water inlet pump is adapted to start in a state where the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, so as to drive water into a predetermined area or the feeding device 1.

[0140] In some embodiments, when the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is disengaged from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, the driving assembly 40 drives the liquid in the liquid collection cavity 121 into the clothing treatment cavity. When the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13 and the clothing treatment device enters the washing stage, the water inlet pump drives a part of the water into the clothing treatment cavity and a part of the water into the liquid storage cavity 21, so that the water can dissolve the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 21, and the liquid flows to the clothing treatment cavity through the liquid inlet channel.

[0141] Among them, the water inlet pump is adapted to start in a state where the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13 to avoid water leakage to the external environment. Specifically, if the water inlet pump starts when the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is separated from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, water will leak from the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 into the accommodation cavity 110, and then leak from the first side opening 111 to the outside, affecting the user experience.

[0142] In some other embodiments, the dispensing device 1 includes a dispensing assembly that defines a dispensing chamber. When the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is disengaged from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, the driving assembly 40 drives the liquid in the liquid collection chamber 121 into the dispensing chamber. When the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13 and the laundry treatment device enters the washing stage, the driving assembly 40 drives the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 21 to enter the dispensing chamber along the liquid flow channel 13. The water inlet pump drives a part of the water into the laundry treatment chamber and drives a part of the water into the dispensing chamber to fully dissolve the liquid in the dispensing chamber and then make the liquid enter the laundry treatment chamber.

[0143] In some examples, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first container 10 includes a first container body 11 and a liquid collection container 12. The first container body 11 defines a receiving chamber 110, and the liquid collection container 12 defines a liquid collection chamber 121. The liquid collection container 12 has a first docking port 122 and a second docking port 123. The driving assembly 40 includes a first connecting pipe 41, a second connecting pipe 42, and a suction pump 43.

One end of the second connecting pipe 42 is communicated with the outlet of the liquid flow channel 13 and the other end is communicated with the second docking port 123.

[0144] When the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, under the action of the suction pump 43, the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 21 enters the second connecting pipe 42 through the liquid flow channel 13, enters the liquid collection chamber 121 along the second connecting pipe 42, and the liquid in the liquid collection chamber 121 enters the first connecting pipe 41 from the first docking port 122, enters the dispensing chamber along the first connecting pipe 41, and enters the laundry treatment chamber through the dispensing chamber.

[0145] When the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is disengaged from the inlet of the liquid flow channel 13, under the action of the suction pump 43, the liquid in the liquid collection chamber 121 enters the first connecting pipe 41 from the first docking port 122, enters the dispensing chamber along the first connecting pipe 41, and enters the laundry treatment chamber through the dispensing chamber.

[0146] In some embodiments, a liquid flow pipe 131 is provided in the first container body 11, and the liquid flow pipe 131 defines the liquid flow channel 13. Among them, the liquid flow pipe 131 can be fixed on the first container body 11 or integrally formed with the first container body 11. The second container 20 is arranged on the front side of the liquid flow pipe 131. The outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 is docked with the front end of the liquid flow pipe 131, and the other end of the liquid flow pipe 131 is docked with the second connecting pipe 42.

[0147] In some examples, such as Figure 1As shown, a part of the liquid passing pipe 131 extends in the front-rear direction so that the front end of the liquid passing pipe 131 can be docked with the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21, and another part of the liquid passing pipe 131 extends in the left-right direction so that the liquid passing pipe 131 can extend out of the accommodating cavity 110 from the side wall of the accommodating cavity 110, realizing the docking of the liquid passing pipe 131 and the second connecting pipe 42.

[0148] In some specific embodiments, the second container 20 defines two liquid storage cavities 21, one of the liquid storage cavities 21 is used to store laundry detergent, and the other liquid storage cavity 21 is used to store care liquid. The first container 10 defines two liquid passing channels 13 and two liquid collecting cavities 121. The two liquid passing channels 13, the two liquid collecting cavities 121 and the two liquid storage cavities 21 correspond one by one. The two liquid collecting cavities 121 are communicated with the accommodating cavity 110 through two first liquid passing ports 112. The two liquid collecting cavities 121 are the first liquid collecting cavity and the second liquid collecting cavity respectively. When the second container 20 is pulled, a small amount of laundry detergent will flow into the first liquid collecting cavity, and a small amount of care liquid will flow into the second liquid collecting cavity.

[0149] The dispensing cavity includes a first dispensing cavity, a second dispensing cavity and a dissolving cavity. The first dispensing cavity is communicated with the dissolving cavity, the second dispensing cavity is communicated with the dissolving cavity, the dissolving cavity is communicated with the laundry treatment cavity, and the suction pump 43 communicates the first liquid collecting cavity and the first dispensing cavity, and communicates the second liquid collecting cavity and the second dispensing cavity.

[0150] When the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is disengaged from the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, the driving assembly 40 drives the laundry detergent in the first liquid collecting cavity into the first dispensing cavity, and drives the care liquid in the second liquid collecting cavity into the second dispensing cavity. When obtaining the laundry mode of the laundry treatment device and the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is docked with the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13, the driving assembly 40 drives the laundry detergent in one of the liquid storage cavities 21 into the first dispensing cavity, and the water inlet pump drives water into the dissolving area to dissolve the laundry detergent in the first dispensing cavity, and the dissolved laundry detergent enters the laundry treatment cavity.

[0151] After the laundry treatment device works for a period of time, the driving assembly 40 drives the care liquid in the other liquid storage cavity 21 into the second dispensing cavity, and the water inlet pump drives water into the dissolving area to dissolve the care liquid in the second dispensing cavity, and the dissolved care liquid enters the laundry treatment cavity.
