[0072] In order to enable those skilled in the art in the technical field to which the present application belongs to more clearly understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0073] In order to enable the clothing treatment device to quickly mix the consumables and clean water to reach the target concentration and improve the utilization rate of the consumables, designing a corresponding consumable premixing scheme is the key to solving the problem. In the traditional washing scheme, there is no premixing in advance. Only the consumables automatically or manually placed in the consumable storage part flow into the clothing storage part on the clothing treatment device together with the clean water. When the water inlet reaches the preset water level value, the rotation of the drum of the clothing storage part promotes the dissolution and mixing of the consumables, thereby wetting the clothes, but the full mixing and dissolution of the consumables are not achieved, which affects the washing effect of the clothes.

[0074] In view of the above technical problems, the present application provides a consumable premixing device and a laundry treatment device to achieve sufficient mixing and dissolution of consumables and improve the washing effect of clothes.

[0075] In a first aspect of the present application, a consumable premixing device is provided. In combination with Figures 1 - 6 , the consumable premixing device a includes a main body 1, and the main body 1 is provided with a water inlet 102, a first liquid inlet 103, an air inlet 104, and a liquid outlet 105, where: the water inlet 102 and the liquid outlet 105 are respectively arranged on both sides of the main body 1, the water inlet 102 and the liquid outlet 105 are communicated with each other, and the first liquid inlet 103 and the air inlet 104 are respectively arranged on the water flow path between the water inlet 102 and the liquid outlet 105.

[0076] For the consumable premixing device provided by the present application, since the main body 1 is provided with a communicated water inlet 102 and a liquid outlet 105, and the first liquid inlet 103 and the air inlet 104 are respectively arranged on the water flow path between the water inlet 102 and the liquid outlet 105, clean water can be injected into the main body 1 through the water inlet 102, and the consumables can be injected into the main body 1 through the first liquid inlet 103. Under the condition that the clean water is injected into the main body 1, a negative pressure will be formed in the main body 1, so that external air can enter the main body 1 through the air inlet 104. The clean water, the consumables and the air are gas-liquid mixed in the main body 1, and the detergent is fully dispersed by using the bubble effect to achieve premixing, and the premixing is uniform and the premixing efficiency is high. The fully mixed and dissolved consumable mixture is output from the liquid outlet to improve the washing effect on clothes, and has good practicability.

[0077] In combination with Figures 1 - 6 , in some embodiments, a mixing chamber 101 is built in the main body 1, and the mixing chamber 101 is respectively communicated with the water inlet 102, the first liquid inlet 103, the air inlet 104, and the liquid outlet 105, where: the water inlet 102, the mixing chamber 101, and the liquid outlet 105 are sequentially communicated, and the first liquid inlet 103 and the air inlet 104 are respectively arranged on the water flow path between the water inlet 102 and the liquid outlet 105.

[0078] A consumable premixing device a provided by the present application. Since the main body 1 is internally provided with a liquid mixing chamber 101, the consumable premixing device a is provided with a water inlet 102 and a first liquid inlet 103 communicated with the liquid mixing chamber 101. Clean water can be injected into the liquid mixing chamber 101 through the water inlet 102, and the consumable can be injected into the liquid mixing chamber 101 through the first liquid inlet 103. Since the consumable premixing device a is provided with an air inlet 104 communicated with the liquid mixing chamber 101, under the condition that clean water is injected into the liquid mixing chamber 101, a negative pressure will be formed in the liquid mixing chamber 101, so that external air can enter the liquid mixing chamber 101 through the air inlet 104. The clean water, the consumable and the air are gas-liquid mixed in the liquid mixing chamber 101, and the detergent is fully dispersed by utilizing the bubble effect to achieve premixing, and the premixing is uniform and the premixing efficiency is high, so as to output a fully mixed and dissolved consumable mixture from the liquid outlet 105 to improve the washing effect on clothes, and it has good practicability.

[0079] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the main body 1 can be generally tubular or block-shaped, and it has a first end and a second end. The first end of the main body 1 can be configured as the water inlet 102 above to introduce clean water, and the second end of the main body 1 can be configured as the liquid outlet 105 to lead out the consumable mixture formed after premixing.

[0080] Specifically in implementation, the two ends of the main body 1 can be adaptively designed according to the layout space requirements. For example, at least one end of the main body 1 can be bent (as shown in Figure 1 ), or the main body 1 is designed as a straight body as a whole (as shown in Figure 4 ), which is not limited here.

[0081] In some embodiments, the water inlet 102 and the liquid outlet 105 are respectively arranged on both sides of the liquid mixing chamber 101. In other embodiments, the end of the main body 1 can be bent so that the water inlet 102 and the liquid outlet 105 are arranged on the same side of the liquid mixing chamber 101, which is not limited here.

[0082] Combined with Figure 3 , in some embodiments, in order to prevent the consumable entering the liquid mixing chamber 101 through the first liquid inlet 103 from flowing back, a one-way valve 2 can be arranged at the first liquid inlet 103. Similarly, in order to prevent the air entering the liquid mixing chamber 101 through the air inlet 104 from flowing back, a one-way valve 2 can be arranged at the air inlet 104.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first liquid inlet 103 can be arranged above the main body 1. For the consumables entering the mixing chamber 101 through the first liquid inlet 103, the consumables can be prevented from flowing back to a certain extent due to the factor of gravity. Similarly, the air inlet 104 can be arranged below the main body 1. By utilizing the characteristic of air rising, the air can also be prevented from flowing back to a certain extent.

[0084] In specific implementation, the above-mentioned one-way valve 2 can be arranged at the first liquid inlet 103, and the above-mentioned one-way valve 2 can be arranged at the air inlet 104; alternatively, the one-way valve 2 can be arranged only at the first liquid inlet 103 or the air inlet 104, or the one-way valve 2 is not arranged at both the first liquid inlet 103 and the air inlet 104. Specifically, corresponding designs can be made according to functional requirements, design orientations, and costs. The one-way valve 2 can be arranged inside the corresponding parts or at the ends of the corresponding parts, and no limitation is made here.

[0085] Combined with Figures 4 - 6 , in some embodiments, a second liquid inlet 106 can also be arranged on the consumable premixing device a. The second liquid inlet 106 is communicated with the mixing chamber 101 to be used for conveying treatment liquid agents such as softeners and disinfectants to improve the washing effect.

[0086] Combined with Figures 4 - 6 , in some embodiments, the second liquid inlet 106 for conveying treatment liquid agents such as softeners and disinfectants can be arranged on the water flow path between the first liquid inlet 103 and the liquid outlet 105 to avoid the bubble effect from dispersing the treatment liquid agents such as softeners and disinfectants, so that the treatment liquid agents lose their corresponding treatment characteristics.

[0087] Combined with Figure 6 , in some embodiments, a pressurizing member 3 can be arranged in the liquid outlet 105 to pressurize the gas in the mixing chamber 101, so as to improve the uniformity of premixing of the consumables, air, and water and improve the premixing efficiency.

[0088] Combined with Figure 6 , in specific implementation, the pressurizing member 3 can be in the structural form of a plug or a foam body and is fixedly assembled in the liquid outlet 105. For example, it can be connected to the liquid outlet 105 by integral molding, threaded connection, or snap connection. A flow hole 301 can be arranged in the pressurizing member 3 for the flow of the consumable mixture. The flow hole 301 can be a single-hole structure or a multi-hole structure, and the aperture of the flow hole 301 can be approximately 1 - 7 mm.

[0089] Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 6, in some embodiments, a first connection channel 1010 and a constriction section 107 may be provided inside the body 1. One end of the first connection channel 1010 communicates with the water inlet 102, and the other end of the first connection channel 1010 communicates with the liquid mixing chamber 101 through the constriction section 107. The cross-sectional dimension of the constriction section 107 perpendicular to the water flow path is smaller than the cross-sectional dimension of the first connection channel 1010 perpendicular to the water flow path. The clean water is transported to the liquid mixing chamber 101 through the first connection channel 1010 and the constriction section 107. Since the cross-sectional dimension of the constriction section 107 perpendicular to the water flow path is smaller, the internal pressure of the section upstream of the liquid mixing chamber 101 can be increased, so that the clean water can enter the liquid mixing chamber 101 at a high speed, thereby improving the uniformity of the pre-mixing of the consumables, air and water and enhancing the pre-mixing efficiency.

[0090] Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the constriction section 107 may include a first channel 1071 or / and a second channel 1072. Among them, the dimension of the cross-section of the first channel 1071 perpendicular to the water flow path gradually becomes smaller in the direction of the liquid mixing chamber. For example, the first channel 1071 may be frustum-shaped, and its larger-diameter end communicates with the water inlet 102 through the first connection channel 1010, and its smaller-diameter end may communicate with the liquid mixing chamber 101; the dimension of the cross-section of the second channel 1072 perpendicular to the water flow path is smaller than the cross-sectional dimension of the first connection channel perpendicular to the water flow path. For example, the second channel 1072 is columnar, and the two ends of the second channel 1072 communicate with the first connection channel 1010 and the liquid mixing chamber 101 respectively.

[0091] Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the constriction section 107 includes a first channel 1071 and a second channel 1072. The first connection channel, the first channel 1071, the constriction section 107 and the liquid mixing chamber 101 are communicated in sequence. The diameter of the first connection channel 1010 matches the diameter of the larger-diameter end of the first channel 1071 to facilitate the passage of clean water. The diameter of the second channel 1072 matches the diameter of the smaller-diameter end of the first channel 1071 to serve as a throat section, so that the clean water can enter the liquid mixing chamber 101 at a high speed.

[0092] In other embodiments, the two ends of the first connection channel 1010 may also be directly communicated with the water inlet 102 and the liquid mixing chamber 101 respectively, and no limitation is made here.

[0093] It should be noted that the above-mentioned mixing chamber 101 may not be provided in the main body 1, and the first liquid inlet 106 and the air inlet 104 may also be respectively communicated with the above-mentioned contraction section 107. The cleaning water, consumables and air are gas-liquid mixed in the contraction section 107 of the main body 1, and the detergent is fully dispersed by using the bubble effect to achieve premixing. Moreover, the premixing is uniform and the premixing efficiency is high, so as to output a fully mixed and dissolved consumable mixture from the liquid outlet to improve the washing effect on clothes.

[0094] Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, a second connection channel 108 is provided in the main body 1. The two ends of the second connection channel 108 are respectively communicated with the mixing chamber 101 and the liquid outlet 105. At least part of the second connection channel 108 is a diffusion section 1081, and the size of the cross-section of the diffusion section 1081 perpendicular to the water flow path gradually increases in the direction of the liquid outlet 105 to reduce the conveying speed of the consumable mixture.

[0095] Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the diffusion section 1081 of the second connection channel 108 may also be frustum-shaped. Its smaller-diameter end is communicated with the mixing chamber 101, and its larger-diameter end is communicated with the liquid outlet 105 through a third columnar section 1082. The third columnar section 1082 matches the diameter of the larger-diameter end of the second connection channel 108 to facilitate the passage of the consumable mixture.

[0096] Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the size of the mixing chamber 101 is preferably larger than the maximum size of the first connection channel 107 and the second connection channel 108 to have enough space to disperse and premix the consumables, air and water. During specific implementation, the part of the main body 1 where the mixing chamber 101 is provided can be thickened to protrude from the rest of the main body 1. In this way, while keeping the overall size of the main body 1 roughly unchanged, the volume of the mixing chamber 101 is increased, which has good practicability.

[0097] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 , in some embodiments, at least part of the air inlet 104 is arranged opposite to the first liquid inlet 103, that is, at least part of the air and the consumables impact each other when entering the mixing chamber 101 to further improve the uniformity of the dispersion and premixing of the consumables, air and water and improve the premixing efficiency.

[0098] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 , during specific implementation, the air inlet 104 and the first liquid inlet 103 can be arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the main body 1, and they can be completely opposite or partially opposite, which is not limited here.

[0099] Combined with Figures 1 - 3 , in some embodiments, the consumable premixing device a may further include a liquid inlet pipe 4 and a gas inlet pipe 5. Among them, the liquid inlet pipe 4 is connected to the main body 1 and communicates with the liquid mixing chamber 101. The inlet end of the liquid inlet pipe 4 is configured as the first liquid inlet 103 mentioned above. The gas inlet pipe 5 is also connected to the main body 1 and communicates with the liquid mixing chamber 101. The inlet end of the gas inlet pipe 5 is configured as the gas inlet 104 mentioned above.

[0100] During specific implementation, both the liquid inlet pipe 4 and the gas inlet pipe 5 can be connected to the main body 1 in an integrally formed manner. Of course, they can also be connected by assembly forms such as threaded connection or snap connection, which is not limited here.

[0101] Combined with Figures 1 - 3 , in some embodiments, two liquid inlet pipes 4 can be arranged at intervals. The two liquid inlet pipes 4 and the main body 1 can be configured into a U shape, and the gas inlet pipe 5 is arranged between the two liquid inlet pipes 4. The two liquid inlet pipes 4 can respectively transport different consumables, such as washing liquid or flavoring liquid, etc., which is not limited here.

[0102] In other embodiments, more liquid inlet pipes 4 can also be provided, and specific designs can be made according to the types of consumables to be added as needed, which is not limited here.

[0103] In some embodiments, the gas inlet 104 (i.e., the inlet end of the gas inlet pipe 5) of the consumable premixing device a can communicate with the clothing storage part d of the clothing treatment device. On the one hand, the moist air in the clothing storage part d can be sucked into the liquid mixing chamber 101. On the other hand, the consumable mixture leaked from the gas inlet 104 can enter the clothing storage part d, so as to avoid waste of consumables and avoid forming stains in the clothing storage part d, which has good practicability. During specific implementation, the inlet end of the gas inlet pipe 5 can be directly connected to the clothing storage part d, or the inlet end of the gas inlet pipe 5 can communicate with the clothing storage part d through a corresponding pipeline, which is not limited here.

[0104] In some embodiments, the consumable premixing device a can be integrally installed in the middle section of the pipeline of the washing machine, and generally users do not need to touch it.

[0105] Combined with 4- Figure 6 , in some embodiments, a communication port 109 can be provided on the main body 1, and the communication port 109 is configured as the first liquid inlet 103 and the gas inlet 104 mentioned above. That is, air and consumables are transported into the liquid mixing chamber 101 through a communication port 109.

[0106] Combined with Figures 7 - 9, in order to realize the transportation of air and consumables to the mixing chamber 101 through a communication port 109, the consumable premixing device a provided in this application may further include a conveying member 6. The conveying member 6 includes a first conveying pipe 601 and a second conveying pipe 602. The first conveying pipe 601 is connected to the communication port 109 of the main body 1, and the inlet end of the first conveying pipe 601 is configured as a first liquid inlet 103. The second conveying pipe 602 is arranged at intervals inside the first conveying pipe 601, and the inlet end of the second conveying pipe 602 is configured as an air inlet 104. The consumables can be transported to the mixing chamber 101 through the first conveying pipe 601. At the same time, air is inhaled into the mixing chamber 101 through the second conveying pipe 602 to be scattered and mixed with the air to form a consumable mixture.

[0107] Since air and consumables are transported to the mixing chamber 101 through a communication port 109, it is possible for the consumables to flow into the second conveying pipe 602, causing partial or complete blockage of the second conveying pipe 602 and affecting the inhalation of air. Therefore, in some embodiments, the second conveying pipe 602 is arranged on the upper side inside the first conveying pipe 601. Due to the self-weight of the consumables, it can be avoided to a certain extent that the consumables flow into the second conveying pipe 602 to improve the blockage phenomenon of the second conveying pipe 602. Specifically, the second conveying pipe 602 can be closely attached to the upper side inside the first conveying pipe 601 so that there is no consumable conveying space between the upper part of the second conveying pipe 602 and the first conveying pipe 601, further avoiding the consumables from flowing into the second conveying pipe 602 to improve the blockage phenomenon of the second conveying pipe 602.

[0108] Combined with Figure 8 , in some embodiments, the outlet end of the second conveying pipe 602 protrudes from the outlet end of the first conveying pipe 601 to extend into the mixing chamber 101. In this way, the consumables output from the outlet end of the first conveying pipe 601 will flow to the surface of the second conveying pipe 602, which can also avoid to a certain extent that the consumables flow into the second conveying pipe 602 to improve the blockage phenomenon of the second conveying pipe 602.

[0109] Combined with Figure 8 , in some embodiments, the outlet end of the first conveying pipe 601 is connected to the communication port 109. A seal 603 can be arranged between the outlet end of the first conveying pipe 601 and the communication port 109 to avoid stains caused by the leakage of consumables. The outlet end of the second conveying pipe 602 passes through the communication port 109 and extends into the mixing chamber 101 so that the outlet end of the second conveying pipe 602 protrudes from the outlet end of the first conveying pipe 601 to avoid to a certain extent that the consumables flow into the second conveying pipe 602 to improve the blockage phenomenon of the second conveying pipe 602.

[0110] Combined with Figures 9 - 10, in some embodiments, the conveying member 6 may further include a connecting plate 604.
