The detailed description in the specific implementation method should be understood as an explanation of the purpose of this application and should not be regarded as an improper limitation on this application.

[0050] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, down refers to the direction of the ground, and up is opposite to down; front refers to the direction toward the user, and back is opposite to front; left is the side where the left hand of the user is located when the user is in front of the clothing processing device, and right is opposite to left; the up and down directions, the front and back directions, and the left and right directions are perpendicular to each other. In the embodiment of the present application, the orientation or positional relationship of "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", and "right" is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these orientation terms are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0051] In the embodiments of the present application, "a plurality" refers to a number including two or more, and "at least two" refers to a number including two or more.

[0052] The laundry processing device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a laundry processing chamber and a detergent supply assembly according to any embodiment of the present application. The laundry processing chamber is used to place laundry. The detergent supply assembly is used to dispense detergent.

[0053] The functions of the clothes processing device provided in the embodiments of the present application are not limited. For example, the clothes processing device may have a drying function in addition to a washing function. The drying function may be used to dry clothes.

[0054] The clothes treating apparatus may be a drum-type clothes treating apparatus or a pulsator-type clothes treating apparatus, such as a drum washing machine or a pulsator washing machine.

[0055] The laundry processing chamber of a drum type laundry processing apparatus rotates around an axis extending in a horizontal direction or an inclined direction. The laundry processing chamber of a pulsator type laundry processing apparatus rotates around an axis extending in a vertical direction.

[0056] The axis in the inclined direction refers to the axis of the laundry processing chamber being obliquely intersected with the horizontal direction.

[0057] See also Figure 1 The laundry processing apparatus may include a drum assembly 10. The axis of the drum assembly 10 may extend in an up-down direction, a horizontal direction, or an inclined direction. The interior space of the drum assembly 10 may be at least a portion of a laundry processing chamber.

[0058] For some examples, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The laundry processing device may include a door seal 60. The axis of the drum assembly 10 extends horizontally or obliquely. The door seal 60 may be provided at the front end of the drum assembly 10. The laundry processing device in this embodiment is also referred to as a drum type laundry processing device, such as a drum washing machine.

[0059] For some examples, see Figure 13 The laundry processing device includes a workbench 80. The axis of the drum assembly extends in the vertical direction. The workbench 80 can be arranged above the drum assembly. The workbench 80 constitutes the exterior surface of the laundry processing device. The laundry processing device in this embodiment is also called a pulsator laundry processing device, such as a pulsator washing machine.

[0060] See also Figure 13 The workbench 80 has a clothing delivery port 80a, which passes through two surfaces of the workbench 80 in the upper and lower directions, and is communicated with the clothing processing chamber.

[0061] In some embodiments, the drum assembly 10 includes a rotatable inner drum having an access opening. The access opening can face upward or forward. The inner drum can be used to hold a load such as clothing. The inner drum can rotate, for example, so that clothing, liquid, and detergent rotate with the inner drum. This allows the clothing to continuously change position within the inner drum, and fluids such as liquid and detergent to change direction as they flow.

[0062] For the pulsator type clothes processing device, the take-in and put-out opening faces upwards. The user can put clothes into or take out the inner drum from above through the clothes putting-in opening 80a and the take-in and put-out opening.

[0063] For drum-type clothes processing equipment, the access opening faces forward. Users put clothes into or take out clothes from the front through the space enclosed by the door sealing ring 60 and the access opening.

[0064] In some embodiments, the inner cylinder may be substantially in the shape of a hollow cylinder.

[0065] For some examples, see Figure 1 The barrel assembly 10 includes an outer barrel 11, and the inner barrel can be arranged in the outer barrel 11. The outer barrel 11 can be used to hold water for washing clothes, and the inner barrel is used to hold clothes.

[0066] In this embodiment, the outer tub 11 holds water, and the inner tub can also be called a perforated inner tub. The space within the inner tub forms at least a portion of the laundry treatment chamber. Fluid can flow between the space between the outer tub 11 and the inner tub and the space within the inner tub through the flow holes in the inner tub.

[0067] For some examples, see Figure 1 , the outer barrel 11 can be roughly in the shape of a hollow cylinder.

[0068] In some embodiments, the inner cylinder holds water by itself and can also be called a non-porous inner cylinder. An outer cylinder 11 can be provided outside the inner cylinder or not.

[0069] It is understood that in some embodiments, the drum assembly 10 may only include an inner drum, without the outer tub 11. In such embodiments, the inner drum is a non-porous inner drum capable of holding water. The inner drum may be a single drum structure. In other words, the laundry processing device may only include the inner drum.

[0070] In some embodiments, the clothes treating apparatus includes a housing, and the drum assembly 10 is disposed in the housing.

[0071] In some embodiments, the box may be substantially in the shape of a hexahedron, for example, a cube or a cuboid.

[0072] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus includes a door configured to selectively open or close an opening of a housing. The housing is provided with an opening communicating with the interior space of the drum assembly 10. The axis of the drum assembly 10 extends horizontally or obliquely. The door seal 60 can be configured to seal the gap between the drum assembly 10 and the housing opening. The interconnected space formed by the door, the door seal 60, and the interior of the drum assembly 10 constitutes a laundry processing chamber. In other words, for a drum-type laundry processing apparatus, the interconnected space formed by the door, the door seal 60, and the interior of the drum assembly 10 constitutes the laundry processing chamber.

[0073] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus includes a door, the axis of the drum assembly 10 extends in a vertical direction, the workbench 80 can be disposed within the housing, and the door can selectively open or close the laundry loading port 80a. In other words, for a pulsator-type laundry processing apparatus, the space within the inner drum can constitute at least a portion of the laundry processing chamber, the workbench 80 and the housing together define a placement chamber, and the drum assembly 10 is located within the placement chamber.

[0074] The workbench 80 can be arranged at the upper part of the box. It is understood that, with the plane perpendicular to the front-back direction as the projection plane and the straight line extending in the horizontal direction and bisecting the projection of the box as the bisector, the upper part of the box can be the part of the box located above the bisector.

[0075] The workbench 80 can also be used to install components such as a control panel, which can be used to control the operation of the clothing processing device.

[0076] See also Figures 3 to 9 ,as well as Figures 13 to 18 The detergent supply assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application can be used in a clothing processing device. The detergent supply assembly includes a detergent box 30 and a dispenser box 140. The detergent box 30 includes a mixing chamber 30d; the dispenser box 140 includes at least two detergent delivery chambers 140a, each detergent delivery chamber 140a is provided with a discharge port 140b, and at least two discharge ports 140b are connected to the mixing chamber 30d.

[0077] The detergent delivery chamber 140a can be used to hold detergent. Each detergent delivery chamber 140a can be used to deliver detergents with different functions or the same functions.

[0078] The functions of detergents include but are not limited to cleaning, softening or adding fragrance, etc.

[0079] The type of detergent is not limited, and the detergent includes but is not limited to detergent, softener and / or fragrance, etc.

[0080] The form of the detergent is not limited, and it can be powdered laundry detergent or flowable laundry liquid.

[0081] The detergent delivery chamber 140a may be suitable for accommodating powdered laundry detergent. Of course, the detergent delivery chamber 140a may also be suitable for accommodating detergents with flow characteristics, such as laundry liquid.

[0082] See also Figure 9 、 Figure 21 and Figure 26 The discharge port 140b communicates with the detergent delivery chamber 140a and the mixing chamber 30d. The detergent in the detergent delivery chamber 140a enters the mixing chamber 30d through the discharge port 140b. The mixing chamber 30d is used to hold a detergent mixed solution.

[0083] The fluid in the mixing chamber 30d enters the laundry processing chamber. In other words, the detergent mixed solution in the mixing chamber 30d eventually enters the laundry processing chamber to process the laundry.

[0084] It should be noted that the detergent mixed solution mentioned in this application is merely for convenience of description and refers to a mixed solution in which detergent is dissolved. Its mass percentage concentration is not limited, and the detergent mixed solution is not limited to a solution in which the detergent is completely dissolved. In some embodiments, the detergent mixed solution can be a user-added detergent stock solution. In other embodiments, the detergent mixed solution can be a mixture of detergent and water from a water source.

[0085] Compared to the related art method of having laundry detergent and liquid detergent enter the first and second water outlets separately, the detergent supply assembly provided in this embodiment of the present application has at least two discharge ports 140b connected to the mixing chamber 30d. This allows detergent in multiple detergent delivery chambers 140a to enter the mixing chamber 30d and be discharged into the clothing processing chamber through the mixing chamber 30d, simplifying the water flow. When users dispense detergent, they no longer need to specifically distinguish between liquid laundry detergent and powdered laundry detergent. Laundry detergent and powdered laundry detergent can be dispensed into any of the multiple detergent delivery chambers 140a, reducing the difficulty of dispensing, improving the efficiency of using different types of detergents, and enhancing the user experience.

[0086] For some examples, see Figure 21 The upper surface of the dispenser box 140 is formed with an addition port communicating with the detergent delivery chamber 140a. A user can add detergent to the detergent delivery chamber 140a from above through the addition port.

[0087] In some embodiments, the detergent delivery chamber 140a can be flushed with water so that the detergent in the detergent delivery chamber 140a enters the mixing chamber 30d. For example, the water spray port can spray water into the detergent delivery chamber 140a, and the water flow impacts the detergent in the delivery chamber to produce a detergent mixed solution, which then enters the mixing chamber 30d through the discharge port 140b.

[0088] In some embodiments, the water spray port may be formed in the detergent box 30 or the workbench 80 or the like.

[0089] In one embodiment, the water spray port can be located above the detergent delivery cavity 140a. For example, the detergent box 30 includes a lid and a body, the lid is disposed above the body and together define a cavity, a portion of which can be the mixing cavity 30d, and the lid forms the water spray port.

[0090] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 9 、 Figure 13 、 Figure 21 and Figure 26 The dispenser box 140 is disposed in an accessible manner in the detergent box 30. For example, the dispenser box 140 is disposed in a removable manner in the detergent box 30. For example, at least a portion of the dispenser box 140 is withdrawn to the outside of the detergent box 30, and the user can dispense detergent into the detergent dispensing cavity 140a. When the dispensing is completed or when the clothes need to be washed, the dispenser box 140 can be retracted, for example, pushed back into the detergent box 30.

[0091] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 ,as well as Figures 16 to 26 The detergent box 30 includes an overflow chamber 30c, which is used to receive the fluid overflowing from the mixing chamber 30d. The mixing chamber 30d and the overflow chamber 30c are distributed in the upstream and downstream directions of the fluid path. The side wall of the mixing chamber 30d forms a first drain port 30b, and the side wall of the overflow chamber 30c forms a second drain port 30a. That is, on the same water path, the mixing chamber 30d is located upstream of the overflow chamber 30c. Exemplarily, the mixing chamber 30d and the overflow chamber 30c are distributed in the front-to-back direction. For example, the mixing chamber 30d can be located at the rear or front side of the overflow chamber 30c. The first drain port 30b is connected to the mixing chamber 30d to discharge the fluid in the mixing chamber 30d into the laundry processing chamber. The second drain port 30a is connected to the overflow chamber 30c to discharge the fluid in the overflow chamber 30c into the laundry processing chamber.

[0092] In this embodiment, when the liquid level in the mixing chamber 30d is not higher than the overflow level, the fluid in the mixing chamber 30d is discharged from the first drain port 30b. When the liquid level in the mixing chamber 30d is higher than the overflow level, the excess fluid in the mixing chamber 30d overflows into the overflow chamber 30c and is discharged from the second drain port 30a. In other words, the detergent mixed solution is preferentially discharged from the first drain port 30b, and the second drain port 30a serves as a safety protection, allowing the excess fluid in the mixing chamber 30d to be discharged in a timely manner. The mixing chamber 30d and the overflow chamber 30c are distributed in the front-to-back direction. The dimensions of the mixing chamber 30d and the overflow chamber 30c in the left-to-right direction can be larger, so that the mixing chamber 30d can be adapted to multiple detergent dispensing chambers 140a to accommodate fluid from the detergent dispensing chambers 140a. The overflow chamber 30c has a moderate volume to accommodate fluid overflowing from the mixing chamber 30d.

[0093] For example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 ,as well as Figures 16 to 26 The mixing chamber 30d can be located behind the overflow chamber 30c, and the discharge port 140b can be formed on the rear sidewall of the dispenser box 140. For example, with a plane perpendicular to the vertical direction as the projection plane, the projection of the discharge port 140b is located within the projection range of the mixing chamber 30d. The fluid discharged from the discharge port 140b is relatively far away from the overflow chamber 30c, which to some extent prevents the problem of the fluid in the mixing chamber 30d not reaching the overflow level but overflowing into the overflow chamber 30c when the discharge port 140b has a large flow rate.

[0094] It is understandable that the shape and size of the discharge port 140b are not limited and can be set according to needs.

[0095] The arrangement of the plurality of detergent delivery chambers 140a is not limited. In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 13 , multiple detergent delivery chambers 140a can be arranged along the left-right direction.

[0096] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 The first drain port 30b is located upstream of the second drain port 30a. That is, the fluid first flows through the first drain port 30b and then flows through the second drain port 30a.

[0097] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9The flow area of ​​the second drain outlet 30a is larger than that of the first drain outlet 30b. That is, when the amount of water is equally sufficient, the second drain outlet 30a will drain more water than the first drain outlet 30b. Because the flow area of ​​the first drain outlet 30b is smaller, the outflow rate from the first drain outlet 30b is relatively small. However, the second drain outlet 30a and the overflow chamber 30c can promptly drain the detergent mixture or water from the first waterway 40A in the event of overflow, reducing water congestion and providing safety protection.

[0098] It should be noted that the flow cross-section is a cross-section perpendicular to the streamline cluster. When the streamline clusters are nonparallel, the flow cross-section is a curved surface; when the streamline clusters are parallel straight lines, the flow cross-section is a flat surface. The flow area refers to the area of ​​the flow cross-section.

[0099] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 The first drain port 30b extends forward. For drum-type laundry processing equipment, the space above the drum assembly 10 is limited, and the distance between the detergent supply assembly and the drum assembly 10 is restricted. The first drain port 30b extends forward to avoid interference with the drum assembly 10, thereby adapting to the limited space above the drum assembly 10.

[0100] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 ,as well as Figures 16 to 26 The detergent box 30 includes a receiving chamber 30e located above the mixing chamber 30d. A filter hole 160a is formed on the upper sidewall of the mixing chamber 30d. The discharge port 140b is in communication with the receiving chamber 30e, and the filter hole 160a connects the receiving chamber 30e and the mixing chamber 30d. Specifically, when at least a portion of the dispenser box 140 is located within the detergent box 30, the portion of the dispenser box 140 having the discharge port 140b is located within the receiving chamber 30e.

[0101] In this embodiment, the fluid in the detergent delivery chamber 140a first enters the holding chamber 30e and then enters the mixing chamber 30d through the filter hole 160a. For example, if the detergent is laundry powder, the water flow impacts and dissolves the laundry powder in the detergent delivery chamber 140a. Since the water flow impacts the laundry powder in the detergent delivery chamber 140a for a short time, the problem of insufficient dissolution of the laundry powder can easily occur. The upper sidewall of the mixing chamber 30d can temporarily retain particles larger than or equal to the aperture of the filter hole 160a on the upper sidewall of the mixing chamber 30d, while particles smaller than the aperture of the filter hole 160a can enter the mixing chamber 30d and then enter the clothing processing chamber through the first discharge port 140b. During the washing process, the fluid from the detergent delivery chamber can repeatedly rinse the laundry powder on the upper sidewall of the mixing chamber 30d, causing the laundry powder to dissolve again before entering the mixing chamber 30d. This design improves the dissolution of the laundry powder, and the particles of laundry powder entering the clothing processing chamber are relatively small, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0102] It is understood that the pore size and shape of the filter hole 160a can be set as needed. The shape of the filter hole 160a includes but is not limited to circular, elliptical, polygonal or irregular shapes, etc. Irregular shapes refer to irregular shapes.

[0103] In one embodiment, the detergent supply assembly includes a filter plate 160 having filter holes 160a. The discharge port 140b is located above the mixing chamber 30d, and the filter plate 160 is disposed between the discharge port 140b and the mixing chamber 30d. The filter plate 160 can be connected to the detergent box 30. The filter plate 160 can serve as the upper sidewall of the mixing chamber 30d, or the filter plate 160 does not serve as the upper sidewall of the mixing chamber 30d.

[0104] In this embodiment, the fluid in the detergent delivery chamber 140a enters the mixing chamber 30d through the filter hole 160a. Taking the detergent as washing powder as an example, the water flow impacts and dissolves the washing powder in the detergent delivery chamber 140a. The filter plate 160 can temporarily retain particles larger than or equal to the aperture of the filter hole 160a on the filter plate 160, while particles smaller than the aperture of the filter hole 160a can enter the mixing chamber 30d and then enter the clothing processing chamber through the first outlet 140b. During the washing process, the detergent mixed solution from the washing delivery chamber can repeatedly rinse the washing powder retained in the filter plate 160, so that the washing powder dissolves again and then enters the mixing chamber 30d. This design makes the washing powder dissolve better, and the particles of washing powder entering the clothing processing chamber are relatively small, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0105] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 、 Figure 22 and Figure 26 , with the projection of the discharge outlet 140b and the projection of the filter hole 160a as the projection plane perpendicular to the vertical direction, do not overlap. The dispenser box 140 is removably disposed within the detergent box 30. When at least a portion of the dispenser box 140 is located within the detergent box 30, the projection of the discharge outlet 140b and the projection of the filter hole 160a as the projection plane perpendicular to the vertical direction do not overlap. In other words, the projection of the discharge outlet 140b and the projection of the filter hole 160a are spaced apart. This design allows the fluid from the discharge outlet 140b to first contact the solid portion of the upper sidewall of the mixing chamber 30d where the filter hole 160a is not located, and then flow to the location of the filter hole 160a. This can, to a certain extent, prevent the detergent mixture from the discharge outlet 140b from directly impacting the filter hole 160a, which could result in particles larger than the filter hole 160a being flushed into the mixing chamber 30d.

[0106] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 ,as well as Figures 16 to 26, outlet 140b is located above mixing chamber 30d. The fluid discharged from outlet 140b flows downward into mixing chamber 30d due to the flow rate and gravity. For example, the fluid discharged from the drain port first contacts the upper sidewall of mixing chamber 30d, is filtered through filter holes 160a, and then enters mixing chamber 30d. Larger detergent particles are temporarily retained on the upper sidewall of mixing chamber 30d and are repeatedly flushed by the fluid from outlet 140b before entering mixing chamber 30d, thereby improving mixing uniformity.

[0107] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 ,as well as Figures 22 to 26 The detergent supply assembly includes a water retaining rib 170. The detergent box 30 has a cavity. The water retaining rib 170 extends upward from the wall of the cavity to separate the cavity into a sub-cavity and an overflow chamber 30c. At least part of the sub-cavity is a mixing chamber 30d. The side wall of the mixing chamber 30d forms a first drain port 30b, and the side wall of the overflow chamber 30c forms a second drain port 30a.

[0108] It can be understood that the top of the water retaining rib 170 can be spaced from the upper surface of the cavity, the liquid level of the fluid in the mixing chamber 30d is higher than the height of the water retaining rib 170, and the fluid in the mixing chamber 30d can overflow into the overflow chamber 30c through the gap between the water retaining rib 170 and the upper surface of the cavity.

[0109] In this embodiment, the water retaining rib 170 separates the sub-cavity and the overflow cavity 30c, and the liquid level of the fluid in the mixing cavity 30d is higher than the height of the water retaining rib 170. The fluid in the mixing cavity 30d can overflow into the overflow cavity 30c through the gap between the water retaining rib 170 and the upper surface of the cavity.

[0110] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 ,as well as Figures 22 to 26 The detergent supply assembly includes a filter plate 160 having a filter hole 160a. The filter plate 160 separates the sub-cavity into the accommodating chamber 30e and the mixing chamber 30d. The filter hole 160a connects the accommodating chamber 30e and the mixing chamber 30d. The discharge port 140b is connected to the accommodating chamber 30e. For example, the discharge port 140b can be located in the accommodating chamber 30e. The accommodating chamber 30e and the mixing chamber 30d share the filter plate 160.

[0111] In this embodiment, the fluid discharged from outlet 140b sequentially flows through the receiving chamber 30e, filter holes 160a, and mixing chamber 30d. That is, the fluid discharged from outlet 140b first enters the receiving chamber 30e, is filtered by filter plate 160, and then enters the mixing chamber 30d through filter holes 160a. For example, when washing powder is used, the water impacts and dissolves the washing powder in detergent dispensing chamber 140a. However, since the water impacts the washing powder in detergent dispensing chamber 140a for a short period of time, insufficient dissolution of the washing powder can occur. Filter plate 160 can temporarily retain particles larger than or equal to the pore size of filter holes 160a in receiving chamber 30e, while particles smaller than the pore size of filter holes 160a can enter the mixing chamber 30d and then enter the laundry processing chamber through first outlet 140b. During the washing process, the detergent mixture from the washing dispensing chamber repeatedly rinses the washing powder retained in receiving chamber 30e, allowing the washing powder to dissolve again before entering the mixing chamber 30d. This design makes the washing powder dissolve better, and the particles of washing powder entering the clothing processing chamber are relatively small, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0112] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 ,as well as Figures 22 to 26 , the accommodating chamber 30e is located above the mixing chamber 30d. That is to say, the thickness direction of the filter plate 160 can be consistent with the up and down direction. The filter plate 160 can temporarily retain particles that are greater than or equal to the aperture of the filter hole 160a on the upper surface of the filter plate 160, while particles that are smaller than the aperture of the filter hole 160a can enter the mixing chamber 30d below and then enter the clothing processing chamber through the first outlet 140b. During the washing process, the detergent mixed solution from the washing delivery chamber can repeatedly rinse the washing powder on the upper surface of the filter plate 160, so that the washing powder dissolves again and then enters the mixing chamber 30d. The washing powder dissolves better, and the particles of the washing powder entering the clothing processing chamber are relatively small, which improves the cleaning effect.

[0113] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 , with the plane perpendicular to the up-down direction as the projection surface, the projection of the filter plate 160 and the projection of the second drain outlet 30a at least partially do not overlap. For example, with the plane perpendicular to the up-down direction as the projection surface, the projection of the filter plate 160 and the projection of the second drain outlet 30a partially do not overlap. For another example, with the plane perpendicular to the up-down direction as the projection surface, the projection of the filter plate 160 and the projection of the second drain outlet 30a do not overlap at all. This design can reduce the probability of the filter plate 160 blocking the second drain outlet 30a to a certain extent, allowing the laundry detergent particles trapped on the filter plate 160 to enter the second drain outlet 30a and be discharged.

[0114] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9With the plane perpendicular to the up-down direction as the projection surface, the projection of the filter plate 160 is all located on the side of the projection of the water retaining rib 170 away from the projection of the second drain outlet 30a. With this design, the filter plate 160 will not block the second drain outlet 30a.

[0115] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 ,as well as Figures 22 to 26 , the connection between the filter plate 160 and the water retaining rib 170. In this way, the water retaining rib 170 can provide support for the filter plate 160 and can also prevent the fluid from flowing through the gap between the filter plate 160 and the water retaining rib 170.

[0116] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the water retaining rib 170 is higher than the upper surface of the filter plate 160. That is, the water retaining rib 170 protrudes from the filter plate 160 in the up and down directions.

[0117] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the water retaining rib 170 is lower than the upper surface of the filter plate 160. That is, in the up and down direction, the filter plate 160 protrudes from the water retaining rib 170.

[0118] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the water retaining rib 170 is flush with the upper surface of the filter plate 160 .

[0119] For example, see Figures 6 to 9 , the filter plate 160 is connected to the upper surface of the water retaining rib 170. The upper surface of the filter plate 160 protrudes from the upper surface of the water retaining rib 170, and the water retaining rib 170 does not prevent the washing powder on the upper surface of the filter plate 160 from entering the overflow chamber 30c.

[0120] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the filter plate 160 can be connected to the surface of the sub-cavity and the water retaining rib 170. With this design, the filter plate 160, the water retaining rib 170, and the surface of the sub-cavity collectively enclose a mixing chamber 30d. Fluid within the accommodating chamber 30e enters the mixing chamber 30d through the filter holes 160a and does not enter the mixing chamber 30d through the gaps between the outer periphery of the filter plate 160 and the surface of the sub-cavity, or between the outer periphery of the filter plate 160 and the water retaining rib 170.

[0121] In some embodiments, the filter plate 160 may be substantially in the shape of a flat plate. The filter plate 160 has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0122] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9The filter plate 160 slopes downward from the second drain outlet 30a toward the second drain outlet 30a. The upper surface of the filter plate 160 slopes downward from the second drain outlet 30a toward the second drain outlet 30a. This design allows fluid to flow downward along the upper surface of the filter plate 160 from the second drain outlet 30a toward the second drain outlet 30a, reducing the risk of detergent accumulation on the upper surface of the filter plate 160.

[0123] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 26 The laundry processing apparatus includes a first water channel 40A and a second water channel 50A. The detergent dispensing chamber 140a and the mixing chamber 30d are both part of the first water channel 40A. The detergent dispensing chamber 140a is located upstream of the mixing chamber 30d. Water flows into the detergent dispensing chamber to initially dissolve the detergent, forming a detergent mixed solution. The detergent mixed solution then enters the mixing chamber 30d.

[0124] The first water channel 40A has a first outlet 40Aa, and the second water channel 50A has a second outlet 50Aa. The first outlet 40Aa is where the fluid in the first water channel 40A leaves the first water channel 40A. The second outlet 50Aa is where the fluid in the second water channel 50A leaves the second water channel 50A.

[0125] The first water channel 40A is used to transport a mixed detergent solution, and the second water channel 50A is used to transport water. The first water channel 40A transports a mixed detergent solution, such as a liquid laundry solution or a powder laundry solution, particularly a powder laundry solution. Because powder laundry detergent is a powdered detergent and is more susceptible to clogging and residue than liquid laundry, the second water channel 50A is used to transport water from a source. The pressurizing structure 120 and / or the turbulent flow structure 21 are disposed in the second water channel 50A to prevent the pressurizing structure 120, the turbulent flow structure 21, etc. from coming into contact with the powder laundry solution to a certain extent.

[0126] It can be understood that the first water channel 40A and the second water channel 50A are both used for circulating fluids, and the detergent mixed solution and water are all fluids.

[0127] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the first water channel 40A refers to a flow path of the fluid, and does not specifically refer to a pipeline structure. The second water channel 50A refers to a flow path of the fluid, and does not specifically refer to a pipeline structure.

[0128] In some embodiments, the water inlet end of the first water channel 40A may be connected to a water source, and the water inlet end of the second water channel 50A may be connected to a water source.

[0129] It should be noted that the water source in the embodiment of the present application refers to the water source that supplies water to the first water channel 40A and / or the second water channel 50A, such as tap water; it can also be the internal water source of the clothing processing equipment, such as circulating water.

[0130] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 13 The laundry processing apparatus includes a water inlet valve 90, which is connected to a water source, such as a tap water pipe. The first water channel 40A and the second water channel 50A can be connected to different water inlet valves 90, or they can be connected to the same water inlet valve 90, without limitation. As an optional embodiment, the laundry processing apparatus includes a circulation pump, with one of the first water channel 40A and the second water channel 50A connected to the water inlet valve 90, and the other connected to the circulation pump of the laundry processing apparatus.

[0131] In some embodiments, the water inlet valve 90 has at least two water inlets, with the first water channel 40A and the second water channel 50A each connected to one of the water inlets. A water source supplies water to the laundry processing apparatus through the water inlet valve 90 . The first water channel 40A and the second water channel 50A each connect to one of the water inlets. The water flow rates at the different water inlets can differ, thereby increasing the flow rate difference between the first water channel 40A and the second water channel 50A.

[0132] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 10 to 12 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 19 as well as Figure 26 The laundry processing apparatus includes a mixing space 20a, with a first water outlet 40Aa and a second water outlet 50Aa both communicating with the mixing space 20a. Fluid discharged from the second water outlet 50Aa and the first water outlet 40Aa both flow into the mixing space 20a, merge, and mix, enhancing the mixing effect and allowing detergent, such as washing powder, to dissolve more fully. The fluid within the mixing space 20a includes, but is not limited to, a detergent mixed solution of detergent and water.

[0133] It should be noted that the first water outlet end 40Aa can also be understood as the junction of the first water channel 40A and the mixing space 20a. The second water outlet end 50Aa can also be understood as the junction of the second water channel 50A and the mixing space 20a. The mixing space 20a can be a chamber formed in a solid structure.

[0134] In one embodiment, the fluid discharged from the second water outlet 50Aa and the fluid discharged from the first water outlet 40Aa can intersect in the clothing processing chamber. The clothing processing device may not have a mixing space 20a, and the fluid discharged from the second water outlet 50Aa and the fluid discharged from the first water outlet 40Aa directly intersect in the air, and the intersection area is located in the clothing processing chamber. In this way, the fluid discharged from the second water outlet 50Aa and the fluid discharged from the first water outlet 40Aa promote the dissolution of detergents such as washing powder. Since the intersection area is located in the clothing processing chamber, the distance from the intersection area to the mixed fluid of the first water channel 40A and the second water channel 50A to the time it is dropped onto the clothing to be processed can be shortened, reducing the degree of bubble breaking, which is conducive to the addition of foamy detergent to the clothing to be processed, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0135] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 15 as well as Figure 26 The mixing space 20a has a liquid outlet 20ab, which is directly connected to the laundry processing chamber. The liquid outlet 20ab is used to discharge the fluid in the mixing space 20a.

[0136] It can be understood that the liquid outlet 20ab can pass through the outer surface of the physical structure where it is located.

[0137] Direct communication between liquid outlet 20ab and the laundry processing chamber means that liquid outlet 20ab opens into the laundry processing chamber, and fluid from liquid outlet 20ab enters the laundry processing chamber directly. There is no intermediate channel between liquid outlet 20ab and the laundry processing chamber, such as a transfer pipe or other fluid-carrying member. Fluid from liquid outlet 20ab does not need to be guided through an intermediate channel; instead, it is directly discharged into the laundry processing chamber under the influence of its own gravity and flow rate.

[0138] In this embodiment, the liquid outlet 20ab is directly connected to the clothing processing chamber, and the fluid from the liquid outlet 20ab directly enters the clothing processing chamber. There is no need to set a transfer channel between the liquid outlet 20ab and the clothing processing chamber, which saves the transfer channel and reduces production costs; the fluid, such as the detergent mixed solution, can directly enter the clothing processing chamber from the liquid outlet 20ab and directly act on the clothes.

[0139] In one embodiment, the liquid outlet 20ab can also be connected to a transfer channel. That is, the fluid from the liquid outlet 20ab flows through the transfer channel before entering the clothing treatment chamber. The transfer channel can be used to change the flow direction and / or shape of the fluid, allowing the fluid to be sprayed toward specific locations on clothing and / or in a specific shape.

[0140] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 12 、 Figure 19 as well as Figure 26 With the plane where the liquid outlet 20ab is located as the projection plane, the projection of the second water outlet 50Aa is located within the projection range of the liquid outlet 20ab. In this way, the water outlet end of the liquid flow channel 130a and the liquid outlet 20ab can be prevented from misaligning and causing the fluid flow direction to change.

[0141] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 20 The laundry processing apparatus includes a pressurizing structure 120. The second water channel 50A is provided with the pressurizing structure 120. The pressurizing structure 120 is used to increase the flow rate of the fluid in the second water channel 50A. For example, the pressurizing structure 120 is provided in the liquid flow channel 130a of the second water channel 50A.

[0142] In this embodiment, the pressurizing structure 120 accelerates the fluid in the second water channel 50A. The fluid transported by the first water channel 40A and the fluid transported by the second water channel 50A converge and mix in the mixing space 20a. The mixed fluid is discharged from the liquid outlet 20ab and enters the clothing treatment chamber to participate in the clothing treatment. There is a flow rate difference between the fluid in the first water channel 40A and the fluid in the second water channel 50A. For example, the fluid in the second water channel 50A is accelerated by the pressurizing structure 120, and the flow rate at the second water outlet 50Aa is greater than the flow rate at the first water outlet 40Aa. The two fluids entering the mixing space 20a have different flow rates, one fast and one slow. The faster flow rate can impact and disturb the slower flow rate, which can better mix the detergent when the two fluids meet, further promoting the dissolution of the detergent. Of course, the fluid transported by the first water channel 40A and the fluid transported by the second water channel 50A may also intersect in the air, and the flow rate of the second water outlet 50Aa is greater than the flow rate of the first water outlet 40Aa, so that the detergent can be better mixed when the two fluids intersect, further promoting the dissolution of the detergent.

[0143] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 20 The pressurizing structure 120 includes a diameter-reducing section 22, which increases the flow rate of the second water outlet 50Aa. The diameter-reducing section 22 means that along the flow direction of the fluid, the flow area of ​​the fluid in the diameter-reducing section 22 becomes smaller. By limiting the flow area of ​​the fluid, the diameter-reducing section 22 can increase the impact force of the fluid and achieve a good mixing effect. At the same time, the diameter-reducing section 22 enables the second water outlet 50Aa to have a larger injection speed, and can generate a significant negative pressure in a relatively large surrounding area, so that the fluid of the first water outlet 40Aa is sucked in under the action of the negative pressure and mixed with the fluid of the second waterway 50A, thereby improving the mixing effect.

[0144] In some embodiments, the pressurizing structure 120 includes a powered pressurizing mechanism. This refers to a mechanism that uses a power source to increase fluid pressure and thereby increase flow rate. The power source includes, but is not limited to, electricity or other energy sources. This powered pressurizing mechanism can actively increase fluid flow rate, providing a higher degree of automation compared to the passive increase in fluid flow rate achieved by the reduced diameter section 22.

[0145] The type of the power pressurizing mechanism is not limited. For example, the power pressurizing mechanism includes but is not limited to a water pump, a peristaltic pump, and the like.

[0146] In some embodiments, the end of the pressurizing structure 120 forms the second water outlet 50Aa. In other words, the fluid in the second waterway 50A is directly ejected from the end of the pressurizing structure 120, such as the reduced diameter section 22.

[0147] For some examples, see Figure 12 and Figure 20 The end of the pressurizing structure 120 is connected to a constant diameter section 23 and / or an expanded diameter section, and the constant diameter section 23 and / or the expanded diameter section forms a second water outlet end 50Aa.

[0148] For example, the end of the pressurizing structure 120 is connected to a constant diameter section 23 , and the constant diameter section 23 forms the second water outlet end 50Aa.

[0149] For another example, the end of the pressurizing structure 120 is connected to an expanded diameter section, which forms the second water outlet end 50Aa.

[0150] For another example, the end of the pressurizing structure 120 is connected to a constant diameter section 23 and an expanded diameter section, and either the constant diameter section 23 or the expanded diameter section forms the second water outlet end 50Aa.

[0151] The constant diameter section 23 means that the flow area of ​​the fluid in the constant diameter section 23 remains substantially unchanged along the flow direction of the fluid.

[0152] The expanded diameter section refers to the section where the flow area of ​​the fluid becomes larger along the flow direction of the fluid.

[0153] In this embodiment, the fluid in the second waterway 50A is ejected directly from the constant diameter section 23 and / or the expanded diameter section into the mixing space 20a. The fluid, accelerated by the pressurizing structure 120, then flows through the constant diameter section 23 and / or the expanded diameter section, where it can diverge into the mixing space 20a at a relatively high speed in a conical shape.

[0154] In some embodiments, the length of the constant diameter section 23 extending along the second waterway 50A is less than or equal to the length of the reduced diameter section 22 extending along the second waterway 50A. Because the longer the flow path of a fluid, the more significant its energy loss is, limiting the length of the constant diameter section 23 can reduce the loss of impact force after the fluid flows out of the reduced diameter section 22.

[0155] In some embodiments, the length of the expanded section along the second waterway 50A is less than or equal to the length of the reduced section 22 along the second waterway 50A. Because a longer fluid flow path results in greater energy loss, limiting the length of the expanded section can reduce the impact force loss after the fluid flows out of the reduced section 22.

[0156] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 12 The distal end of the pressurizing structure 120 extends into the mixing space 20a. This extends into the mixing space 20a to accelerate the fluid entering the mixing space 20a. The fluid, accelerated by the pressurizing structure 120, enters the mixing space 20a through the distal end of the pressurizing structure 120. The increased impact force of the accelerated fluid enhances agitation within the mixing space 20a, improving the mixing effect and the cleaning efficiency.

[0157] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 20 The laundry processing apparatus includes a turbulent flow structure 21, which is disposed in the second water channel 50A and is used to provide a circumferential velocity component to the fluid in the second water channel 50A. For example, the turbulent flow structure 21 is disposed in the liquid flow channel 130a.

[0158] The above-mentioned circumferential velocity component means that the velocity component of the fluid in the second water channel 50A after passing through the turbulent structure 21 in the circumferential direction of the second water channel 50A is not zero, and the circumference of the second water channel 50A surrounds the extension direction of the second water channel 50A.

[0159] After passing through the turbulent structure 21, the fluid in the second waterway 50A generates a composite motion in multiple directions, such as the circumferential direction and the forward direction, so as to better mix with the fluid in the mixing space 20a and improve the mixing efficiency; it can also make the fluid ejected from the liquid outlet 20ab disperse roughly in a cone shape, with a wider radiation range and better visual effect.

[0160] It is understood that the turbulent flow structure 21 can also increase the flow rate of the fluid by limiting the flow area of ​​the second water channel 50A in which it is located. In this way, the speed difference between the two fluids entering the mixing space 20a is larger, further promoting the dissolution of the detergent.

[0161] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 20 The turbulence structure 21 includes one or more spiral blades, which are used to induce a spiral motion in the fluid in the second waterway 50A. A spiral blade is a blade having a helical shape and extending in a spiral direction. After the fluid passes through the spiral blade, it exhibits a spiral motion with a circumferential velocity component. The spiral blade has a simple structure, effectively turbulent the fluid, and provides low resistance, thereby reducing energy loss during passage.

[0162] Exemplarily, the turbulent flow structure 21 includes one or more spiral blades, which divide at least a partial length of the second water channel 50A where the spiral blades are located into a plurality of sub-flow channels.

[0163] The above-mentioned multiple refers to the number of spiral blades being multiple, which can be two, three or more, that is, the number of heads of the spiral line is not less than two, and does not limit the number of turns of the spiral line.

[0164] For some examples, see Figure 12 and Figure 20 The outer edge of the spiral blade in the spiral direction is connected to the inner wall of the second water channel 50A, and the inner edge of the spiral blade in the spiral direction is spaced apart from the inner wall of the second water channel 50A. In other words, there is a gap between the inner edge of the spiral blade and the inner wall of the second water channel 50A. In this way, the inner wall of the second water channel 50A provides connection support for the spiral blade.

[0165] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 20 The pressurizing structure 120 is located downstream of the turbulent structure 21. The fluid passes through the turbulent structure 21 and the pressurizing structure 120, such as the diameter-reducing section 22, and then is ejected into the laundry processing chamber in a conical shape.

[0166] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 12 The distance between the turbulent structure 21 and the pressurizing structure 120 is greater than the distance between the liquid outlet 20ab and the pressurizing structure 120. With this design, the fluid path between the turbulent structure 21 and the pressurizing structure 120 is greater than the fluid path between the pressurizing structure 120 and the liquid outlet 20ab. The fluid can be effectively accelerated by the turbulent structure 21 and the pressurizing structure 120 and can be discharged from the mixing space 20a in a timely manner, reducing losses during the flow process.

[0167] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 26 The laundry processing device includes a nozzle 130, which is formed with a flow channel 130b and a liquid flow channel 130a. The flow channel 130b is part of the first water channel 40A, and the water outlet of the flow channel 130b is the first water outlet 40Aa. The liquid flow channel 130a is part of the second water channel 50A, and the water outlet of the liquid flow channel 130a is the second water outlet 50Aa. The flow channel 130b transports a mixed detergent solution, while the liquid flow channel 130a transports liquid water. Using the nozzle 130 to form part of the first water channel 40A and part of the second water channel 50A can reduce the number of pipes in the laundry processing device, reducing manufacturing complexity.

[0168] In one embodiment, the flow rate at the outlet end of the liquid flow channel 130a is greater than the flow rate at the outlet end of the diversion channel 130b. On the one hand, there is a flow rate difference between the fluid discharged from the liquid flow channel 130a and the fluid discharged from the diversion channel 130b. The flow rate at the outlet end of the liquid flow channel 130a is relatively large, which can increase the impact force of the fluid. The flow rates of the two fluids entering the mixing space 20a are one fast and one slow. The one with the faster flow rate can impact and disturb the one with the slower flow rate, which can make the detergents better mixed when the two fluids meet, further promoting the dissolution of the detergents. On the other hand, the flow rate at the outlet end of the liquid flow channel 130a is relatively large, which can generate negative pressure in the surrounding area, so that the fluid at the outlet end of the diversion channel 130b is sucked in under the action of this negative pressure, thereby improving the mixing effect.

[0169] For some examples, see Figure 12 and Figure 20 , the pressurizing structure 120 and / or the turbulent flow structure 21 are arranged in the liquid flow channel 130a.

[0170] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 12 、 Figure 25 as well as Figure 26 The nozzle 130 forms a mixing space 20 a. That is, the fluid in the first water channel 40A and the fluid in the second water channel 50A are mixed together in the nozzle 130 .

[0171] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 10 to 12 The nozzle 130 includes a housing 132 and a cannula 131. The housing 132 forms a flow channel 130b and a mixing space 20a. The cannula 131 forms a liquid flow channel 130a, with at least a portion of the cannula 131 inserted into the mixing space 20a. Specifically, the second water outlet 50Aa is formed on the cannula 131. Exemplarily, the end of the cannula 131 located within the mixing space 20a is the second water outlet 50Aa. The nozzle 130 has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0172] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 10 to 12 The end of the cannula 131 facing the first direction is the second outlet end 50Aa. The first outlet end 40Aa is formed on the sidewall of the mixing space 20a along the second direction, where the first and second directions intersect. With this design, the fluid discharged from the first outlet end 40Aa flows generally in the first direction, while the fluid discharged from the second outlet end 50Aa flows generally in the second direction. The two fluids intersect and mix in the mixing space 20a.

[0173] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 10 to 12 The housing 132 is formed with a liquid outlet 20ab. Exemplarily, the liquid outlet 20ab is formed on a side wall of the housing 132 along the first direction. The fluid in the mixing space 20a is sprayed out of the spray head 130 through the liquid outlet 20ab.

[0174] For example, see Figures 10 to 12 Sprinkler 130 also includes a connector pipe 133, which is connected to housing 132 and communicates with the end of flow channel 130b away from first water outlet 40Aa. The space within connector pipe 133 forms part of first waterway 40A and can be connected to second pipe 42. Second pipe 42 delivers fluid to sprinkler 130 via connector pipe 133.

[0175] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figures 10 to 12 The clothing processing device includes a door seal 60, and the nozzle 130 is provided on the door seal 60. The door seal 60 not only provides an installation position for the nozzle 130, but also allows the detergent mixed solution sprayed by the nozzle 130 to be closer to the clothing processing chamber.

[0176] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figures 10 to 12 The space enclosed by the door seal 60 is part of the laundry processing chamber, and the liquid outlet 20ab extends radially inwardly of the door seal 60. In other words, the laundry processing apparatus may be a drum-type laundry processing apparatus. Fluid discharged from the liquid outlet 20ab can directly enter the space enclosed by the door seal 60, and thus directly enter the laundry processing chamber.

[0177] It should be noted that the extending direction of the axis of the door sealing ring 60 is consistent with the extending direction of the axis of the cylinder assembly 10 , and the axis of the door sealing ring 60 can extend in a horizontal direction or an inclined direction.

[0178] For some examples, see Figures 3 to 12 The laundry processing apparatus includes a first conduit 41 and a second conduit 42. One end of the first conduit 41 is connected to an external water source, such as a water inlet valve 90. The other end of the first conduit 41 is connected to the water inlet of the detergent box 30, thereby directing water into the detergent box 30. One end of the second conduit 42 is connected to the first drain port 30b, while the other end of the second conduit 42 is connected to the mixing space 20a, thereby directing fluid discharged from the first drain port 30b to the mixing space 20a. In this embodiment, the space within the first conduit 41, the space within the second conduit 42, and at least a portion of the space within the detergent box 30 collectively constitute at least a portion of the first water channel 40A.

[0179] For some examples, see Figures 3 to 12The laundry treatment apparatus includes a third pipe 50. One end of the third pipe 50 is connected to a water source and is connected to the mixing space 20a, for directing water from the water source to the mixing space 20a. In this embodiment, the space within the third pipe 50 can independently define the second water channel 50A, or the space within the third pipe 50 can define a portion of the second water channel 50A.

[0180] It should be noted that the first pipeline 41 can be a complete pipe or can be formed by connecting multiple pipe sections, which is not limited here.

[0181] The second pipeline 42 can be a complete pipe or can be formed by connecting multiple pipe sections, which is not limited here.

[0182] The third pipeline 50 can be a complete pipe or can be formed by connecting multiple pipe sections, which is not limited here.

[0183] For example, see Figures 3 to 12 The third pipeline 50 can be entirely arranged outside the detergent box 30; or, a portion of the third pipeline 50 is integrated into the shell 132 of the detergent box 30, that is, part of the shell 132 of the detergent box 30 constitutes a part of the third pipeline 50; or, the third pipeline 50 is a pipeline structure that passes through the detergent box 30.

[0184] In some embodiments, the door seal 60 has an installation opening, and the water outlet of the mixing space 20a passes through the installation opening of the door seal 60 and extends radially inward of the door seal 60. For example, the nozzle 130 is installed through the door seal 60, and the side wall of the nozzle 130 with the liquid outlet 20ab can extend radially inward of the door seal 60. This facilitates the direct delivery of the detergent mixed solution from the water outlet of the mixing space 20a into the laundry treatment chamber.

[0185] In some embodiments, the liquid outlet 20ab extends radially inwardly of the door seal 60 and is inclined to discharge water toward the lower rear of the clothing treatment chamber, so that the sprayed mixed liquid covers a large area of ​​the clothing in the clothing treatment chamber.

[0186] In some embodiments, the outer barrel 11 has a water inlet, and the second drain port 30a is connected to the water inlet, which is used to guide the overflowing detergent mixed solution in the detergent box 30 to the outer barrel 11, and then enter the inner barrel through the flow hole of the inner barrel, which can assist the water inlet.

[0187] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the clothes treating apparatus further includes a water outlet pipe 70 , which connects the second drain port 30 a and the water inlet.

[0188] For some examples, see Figure 3The water inlet valve 90 has a first outlet 90a, and the first water channel 40A and the second water channel 50A are both connected to the first outlet 90a. Water is supplied to the laundry processing device through the water inlet valve 90. The first water channel 40A and the second water channel 50A are both connected to the first outlet 90a of the water inlet valve 90. This facilitates the installation of the first water channel 40A and the second water channel 50A, simplifies the configuration of the water inlet valve 90, and saves costs.

[0189] In one embodiment, the nozzle head 130 is disposed on the workbench 80 . The nozzle head 130 and the workbench 80 may be separate structures, or at least a portion of the nozzle head 130 may be formed on the workbench 80 .

[0190] The nozzle 130 can be a separate structure from the workbench 80. That is, the nozzle 130 and the workbench 80 are manufactured separately and then assembled together through a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection, which reduces the design and manufacturing difficulty of the workbench 80 and the nozzle 130.

[0191] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 13 to 17 , the clothes treating apparatus includes a work table 80 , and the detergent box 30 is formed on the work table 80 .

[0192] At least a portion of the nozzle head 130 is formed on the workbench 80, which means that at least a portion of the nozzle head 130 is formed by the physical structure of the workbench 80. Exemplarily, at least a portion of the nozzle head 130 is integrally formed with at least a portion of the physical structure of the workbench 80. For example, at least a portion of the nozzle head 130 is integrally injection molded with at least a portion of the physical structure of the workbench 80.

[0193] In this embodiment, part of the structure of the workbench 80 is an integral part of the nozzle 130. In this way, the workbench 80 is reused as a part of the nozzle 130, which can reduce the number of parts, reduce the material used, and reduce the material cost.

[0194] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 14 to 18 The clothes processing device includes a partition member 150, which is arranged on the lower side of the workbench 80. The partition member 150 and the workbench 80 together form a liquid outlet channel 130b.

[0195] In this embodiment, the partition member 150 and the workbench 80 are used to jointly define the liquid outlet channel 130 b , which can reduce the number of pipes arranged on the workbench 80 , simplify the pipe layout, and reduce the manufacturing difficulty.

[0196] The partition member 150 and the workbench 80 can be connected in a detachable or non-detachable manner. In some embodiments, the partition member 150 and the workbench 80 can be welded or bonded. In some embodiments, the partition member 150 and the workbench 80 can be connected by snapping, screwing, or bolting.

[0197] The connection between the partition member 150 and the workbench 80 can be sealed. In this way, fluid leakage at the connection between the partition member 150 and the workbench 80 is avoided.

[0198] For example, the connection between the partition member 150 and the workbench 80 can be sealed by welding, gluing, or by a sealant. The sealant can be a flexible structure that utilizes elastic deformation to seal the gap between the partition member 150 and the workbench 80. For example, the sealant can be a flexible structure made of rubber and / or silicone.

[0199] In some embodiments, the workbench 80 forms an open slot opening downward, and the partition member 150 closes the downward opening of the open slot to form the liquid outlet channel 130b of the spray head 130 and the mixing chamber 30d of the detergent box 30. Liquid outlet channel Liquid outlet channel

[0200] For some examples, see Figures 22 to 26 , the part of the workbench 80 is concave to form the liquid outlet channel 130b. In other words, the partition plate 150 can be omitted, but the workbench 80 can be fully utilized to form the liquid outlet channel 130b for the fluid to circulate, so that parts can be saved and costs can be reduced.

[0201] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 13 to 26 The workbench 80 defines a liquid outlet 20ab communicating with the mixing space 20a. The mixing space 20a is located between the second water outlet 50Aa and the liquid outlet 20ab. Liquid outlet 20ab is formed on the workbench 80 to facilitate downward spraying of fluid discharged from the liquid outlet 20ab into the laundry processing chamber under the influence of gravity and initial velocity. At least a portion of the space between the second water outlet 50Aa and the liquid outlet 20ab constitutes the mixing space 20a.

[0202] For some examples, see Figure 18 and Figure 22 The liquid outlet 20ab is formed on the surface of the workbench 80 facing the clothing loading port 80a. In this way, it is possible to avoid as much as possible that the structure on the workbench 80 blocks the liquid outlet 20ab from discharging fluid.

[0203] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 16 、 Figure 19 、 Figure 20 as well as Figure 23The nozzle 130 includes a cannula 131, which forms a liquid flow channel 130a. The workbench 80 forms a liquid outlet channel 130b. The cannula 131 is inserted into the workbench 80. In other words, the workbench 80 is formed with a socket, into which the cannula 131 is inserted. This design uses the workbench 80 to provide a mounting location for the cannula 131, simplifying the installation process and improving production efficiency. The cannula 131 forms the liquid flow channel 130a, resulting in a simple structure, and the workbench 80 provides a mounting location for the cannula 131.

[0204] In one embodiment, the partition member 150 forms an insertion hole, and the insertion tube 131 is inserted into the insertion hole.

[0205] In some embodiments, the gap between the cannula 131 and the insertion hole can be sealed by a sealing structure. For example, the gap between the cannula 131 and the insertion hole can be sealed by a sealing ring.

[0206] The sealing structure can be a flexible structure that utilizes elastic deformation to seal the gap at the connection between the liquid flow channel 130a and the liquid outlet channel 130b. For example, the sealing structure utilizes elastic deformation to seal the gap between the cannula 131 and the insertion hole. For example, the sealing structure can be a flexible structure made of rubber and / or silicone.

[0207] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 20 and Figure 23 At least a portion of the cannula 131 is inserted into the liquid outlet channel 130b. The at least partial insertion of the cannula 131 into the liquid outlet channel 130b can be done by partially inserting the cannula 131 into the liquid outlet channel 130b or by fully inserting the cannula 131 into the liquid outlet channel 130b. The partial insertion of the cannula 131 into the liquid outlet channel 130b facilitates connection of the portion of the cannula 131 outside the liquid outlet channel 130b to other pipes, valve ports, and the like.

[0208] In some embodiments, the water inlet end of the cannula 131 is connected to a water supply port of the water inlet valve 90. In this way, the water inlet valve 90 can supply water to the cannula 131.

[0209] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the detergent box 30 is formed on the worktop 80 .

[0210] At least part of the detergent box 30 is formed on the workbench 80, which means that part of the physical structure of the workbench 80 constitutes at least part of the physical structure of the detergent box 30. For example, at least part of the detergent box 30 can be integrally formed with the workbench 80.

[0211] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the detergent box 30 is formed on the workbench 80, and part of the structure of the workbench 80 is reused as at least a portion of the detergent box 30, which can reduce the number of parts, simplify the structure, and save costs.

[0212] In one embodiment, the detergent box 30 and the workbench 80 may be separate structures. That is, the detergent box 30 and the workbench 80 are manufactured separately and then assembled together through a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection.

[0213] For example, the cannula 131 and the workbench 80 can be separate structures. In other words, the cannula 131 and the workbench 80 can be manufactured separately and then assembled.

[0214] For example, the housing 132 of the spray head 130 may be formed on the workbench 80 . In other words, the housing 132 may be integrally formed with the workbench 80 .

[0215] In another embodiment, a portion of the housing 132 is formed on the workbench 80 , and another portion of the housing 132 can be a separate structure. For example, the partition member 150 constitutes another portion of the housing 132 .

[0216] For some examples, see Figures 14 to 26 For a pulsator-type laundry treatment device with a workbench 80, the detergent box 30 and the spray head 130 can be part of the workbench 80. For example, the portion of the workbench 80 used to house the dispenser box 140 is the detergent box 30. Part of the workbench 80 is also part of the detergent box 30 and the spray head 130. This reuse of the workbench 80 as part of the detergent box 30 and the spray head 130 can reduce the number of parts, material usage, and material costs.

[0217] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 13 to 26 A pumping port 80b is formed on the surface of the workbench 80 facing the clothing delivery port 80a. The pumping port 80b is connected to the cavity of the detergent box 30, and the dispenser box 140 enters and exits the detergent box 30 through the pumping port 80b. When detergent needs to be added to the dispenser box 140, the dispenser box 140 can be pulled out of the detergent box 30 through the pumping port 80b. When detergent addition is complete, the dispenser box 140 can be pushed back into the detergent box 30 through the pumping port 80b. During the washing process, the detergent and other fluids in the detergent delivery chamber 140a can flow through the first water channel 40A, for example, in sequence through the accommodating chamber 30e, the mixing chamber 30d, the liquid outlet channel 130b, and the mixing space 20a, and finally be delivered to the clothing processing chamber from the liquid outlet 20ab. The detergent and other fluids in the accommodating chamber 30e can also overflow into the overflow chamber 30c and enter the clothing processing chamber through the pumping port 80b.

[0218] For some examples, see Figures 17 to 26 , a portion of the pumping port 80b of the workbench 80 can constitute the second drain port 30a.
