[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model is a washing machine that can automatically dispense laundry liquid and laundry powder, including a washing machine body 1. The washing machine body 1 of this embodiment is a pulsator washing machine. The washing machine body 1 includes a box 1-1, an inner barrel 1-2, a door cover 1-3, a control panel 1-6 and an electronic control device. The electronic control device is a computer board 1-5. No detergent container is provided in the washing machine body 1. The washing machine body 1 is provided with a laundry liquid dispensing device 3 and a laundry powder dispensing device 2 that are independent of each other. The laundry liquid dispensing device 3 and the laundry powder dispensing device 2 are respectively connected to the inner barrel 1-2 of the washing machine body 1. The electronic control device controls the laundry liquid dispensing device 3 and the laundry powder dispensing device 2 to dispense laundry liquid and laundry powder into the inner barrel 1-2 of the washing machine body 1 respectively.

[0028] In this embodiment, the detergent dispensing device comprises a motor 2-1 connected to a computer board 1-5, a first dispensing pipe 2-2 having a dispensing port 2-8, an inner suction pipe 2-3, a housing connector 2-4, an outer suction pipe 2-5 located outside the washing machine body 1, a suction head 2-6, and a feeding spiral blade 2-7. The motor 2-1, first dispensing pipe 2-2, inner suction pipe 2-3, housing connector 2-4, and outer suction pipe 2-5 are sequentially connected to form a channel within each pipe. The feeding spiral blade 2-7 is disposed within the channel, one end of which is connected to the power output shaft of the motor 2-1 and the other end is fixedly connected to the suction head 2-6. The suction port of the suction head 2-6 can be directly placed in the detergent bucket. The first dispensing pipe 2-2 is mounted on the bottom of the water inlet box 1-4 of the washing machine body 1, and the dispensing port 2-8 communicates with the inner tub 1-2 of the washing machine body 1. One end of the first dispensing pipe 2-2 is connected to the body of the motor 2-1, and the other end is connected to the inner suction pipe 2-3. The inner suction pipe 2-3 is connected to the inner interface of the box joint 2-4. The box joint 2-4 is clamped on the box 1-1 of the washing machine body 1. The outer interface of the box joint 2-4 extends out of the washing machine body 1 and is detachably connected to the outer suction pipe 2-3.

[0029] In this embodiment, the laundry detergent dispensing device consists of a second dispensing pipe 3-1, a suction-dispensing conversion pump 3-2 connected to the computer board 1-5, and a suction pipe 3-3 located outside the washing machine body 1. The outlet of the second dispensing pipe 3-1 is connected to the water inlet box 1-4 of the washing machine body 1, and the inlet of the second dispensing pipe 3-1 is connected to the outlet of the suction-dispensing conversion pump 3-2. The suction port of the suction-dispensing conversion pump 3-2 extends out of the washing machine body 1 and is detachably connected to the outlet of the suction pipe 3-3. The suction port of the suction pipe 3-3 can be directly placed in the laundry detergent bottle 4 (laundry detergent tank).

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is:

[0031] (1) Computer board 1-5 controls the on / off switching of the suction / dispensing pump 3-2 and motor 2-1, thereby automating the start and end of dispensing. The two dispensing mechanisms are independent of each other, allowing the user to select and set the liquid detergent and powder detergent dispensing modes. Computer board 1-5 stores these settings. The washing machine automatically dispenses the appropriate amount of detergent / powder detergent, with the computer board determining the appropriate amount based on the water level for the wash cycle. The entire dispensing process is automated, requiring no user intervention.

[0032] (2) Detergent feeding: The suction head 2-6 draws detergent from the detergent bucket 5. Driven by the rotation of the feeding spiral blade 2-7, the detergent passes through the suction outer tube 2-5, the housing connector 2-4, and the suction inner tube 2-3, reaching the feeding port 2-8 of the first feeding tube 2-2. From there, the detergent falls into the inner drum 1-2 of the washing machine body 1. The suction outer tube of the detergent feeding device 2 is located outside the washing machine body 1. The suction outer tube 2-5 can be removed manually, and the suction port of the suction head 2-3 can be directly placed into the detergent bucket 5 to draw the detergent.

[0033] (3) Laundry Detergent Dispensing: Suction pipe 3-3 draws laundry detergent from laundry detergent bottle 4 (tank). The detergent passes through suction-dispensing pump 3-2 and flows through second dispensing pipe 3-1. The detergent reaches water inlet tray 1-4. When water enters washing machine body 1, the detergent in water inlet tray 1-4 is diluted and introduced into inner tub 1-2. Second dispensing pipe 3-1 and suction-dispensing pump 3-2 are installed inside the washing machine body. Suction pipe 3-3 is installed externally and can be manually removed, allowing for easy cleaning and maintenance.

[0034] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0035] (1) The user places laundry into the inner tub 1-2 and sets the water level on the control panel 1-6. This determines whether the washing machine will use powder or liquid detergent. If the user does not set a setting, the detergent / liquid detergent dispensed will be based on the previous wash cycle. When the washing machine starts, the computer board 1-5 sets the amount of detergent / liquid detergent dispensed based on the water level. Then, the computer board 1-5 begins dispensing the detergent / liquid detergent based on the user's preference.

[0036] (2) Detergent dispensing: Computer board 1-5 connects power to motor 2-1, which starts and rotates the feeding spiral blade 2-7. The suction head 2-6 draws detergent from the detergent bucket 5, where it enters the outer suction tube 2-5 through the suction port of the suction head 2-6. Driven by the rotation of the feeding spiral blade 2-7, the detergent rises in the outer suction tube 2-5, passes through the housing connector 2-4, and the inner suction tube 2-3, and reaches the dispensing port 2-8 of the first dispensing tube 2-2. From there, the detergent drops into the inner tub of the washing machine. Once the amount of detergent is dispensed, computer board 1-5 disconnects power to motor 2-1, completing the dispensing process. Water then begins to fill the washing machine, and the wash cycle continues.

[0037] (3) Laundry detergent dispensing: Computer board 1-5 connects power to suction-dispensing conversion pump 3-2, which starts operating. A vacuum forms inside suction-dispensing conversion pump 3-2. Under atmospheric pressure, the liquid in the laundry detergent tank 4 rises along the suction pipe 3-3 and enters the interior of suction-dispensing conversion pump 3-2. The liquid then reversing direction of suction-dispensing conversion pump 3-2 flows from the outlet of suction-dispensing conversion pump 3-2 into second dispensing pipe 3-1. From there, the laundry detergent enters the washing machine's water inlet box 1-4. Once the amount of laundry detergent is dispensed, computer board 1-5 disconnects power to suction-dispensing conversion pump 3-2, completing the dispensing process. Water then begins to fill the washing machine, and the wash cycle continues.

[0038] In other embodiments, the washing machine body can be a drum washing machine. The housing connector of the detergent dispensing device is clipped onto the washing machine housing and fixedly connected to the housing. A first dispensing pipe is connected to the washing machine's water inlet, and detergent is dispensed into the washing machine's water inlet through the dispensing port. The inlet of the suction-dispensing conversion pump of the detergent dispensing device passes through the housing and connects to the suction pipe on the outside of the housing. A second dispensing pipe is connected to the washing machine's water inlet, and detergent is dispensed into the washing machine's water inlet. The detergent / liquid detergent dispensed into the water inlet flows into the washing drum along with the water when the washing machine is filled with water. The control process for dispensing detergent / liquid detergent is similar to that of a pulsator washing machine.

[0039] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concepts disclosed herein shall be covered by the claims of the present invention.
