[0002] An additive container is required in a laundry treating device to store additives for treating laundry.

[0003] Chinese invention patent application CN106592165B discloses a detergent dispensing device and a washing machine. The detergent dispensing device comprises a detergent container and an upper cover that cooperates with the container. The upper cover has a liquid dispensing port and a flap for closing and opening the liquid dispensing port. However, the flap cannot remain open when opened to a certain angle, and cannot remain closed when closed, making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides an additive container and a clothes processing device, which have the advantage that a flip cover can be kept in an open state or a closed state.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An additive container comprises a container body and a flip cover assembly; the flip cover assembly comprises:

[0007] a connecting support frame, integrally formed with or connected to the container body, and having a fluid infusion port communicating with the inner cavity of the container body;

[0008] A flip cover body, rotatably connected to the connection support frame to open and close the fluid infusion port;

[0009] A first limit block is provided on the connecting support frame; a second limit block is provided on the flip cover body; the second limit block moves with the flip cover body; the first limit block is located on the moving path of the second limit block; the second limit block limits the flip cover body to remain in the closed state of the fluid infusion port or the open state of the fluid infusion port through the first limit block.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the second limit block and the first limit block enable the flip cover body to be kept in the closed state of closing the liquid infusion port or the open state of opening the liquid infusion port. In this way, when replenishing liquid, the flip cover body will not flip back to its original position due to gravity; during normal use, the flip cover body will not accidentally open the liquid infusion port, which greatly improves the convenience of use.

[0011] Optionally, the first limit block has a first guide surface; when the flip cover body opens the liquid infusion port, the first guide surface faces the second limit block and guides the second limit block to pass over the first limit block, so that the flip cover body enters the open state.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the flip cover body is flipped up to open the liquid infusion port, the second limit block rotates together with the flip cover body. During this process, the second limit block is deformed under the guidance of the first guide surface of the first limit block, thereby avoiding passing through the first limit block, so that the flip cover body can gradually enter the open state.

[0013] Optionally, the second limit block has a second guide surface; when the flip cover body closes the liquid infusion port, the second guide surface faces the first limit block and guides the second limit block to pass over the first limit block, so that the flip cover body enters a closed state.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the flip cover body is flipped up to open the liquid infusion port, the second limit block rotates together with the flip cover body. During this process, the second limit block is deformed under the guidance of the second guide surface of the second limit block to avoid passing through the first limit block, so that the flip cover body can gradually enter the closed state.

[0015] Optionally, the opening and closing angle of the flip cover body is greater than or equal to 90 degrees.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the opening and closing angle of the flip cover body is greater than or equal to 90 degrees, the gravity of the flip cover body will not drive the flip cover body to rotate toward the fluid infusion port, so that the flip cover body can be better kept open and closed.

[0017] Optionally, a breathable gap communicating with the inner cavity of the container body is formed between the rotation connection side of the flip cover body and the connection support frame.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the air-permeable gap can connect the inner cavity of the container body with the external atmosphere, balance the internal and external pressures of the additive container, and prevent the additive container from deformation.

[0019] Optionally, a sinking groove is formed on the connecting support frame; the sinking groove is used to accommodate the flip cover body in a closed state; the sinking groove and the flip cover body are interference fit.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the sinking groove and the flip cover body are interference fit, so that the flip cover body is not easy to open when the liquid infusion port is closed.

[0021] Optionally, convex points are provided on both side walls of the flip cover body that are perpendicular to the rotation axis thereof; the convex points are interference fit with the side walls of the sinking groove.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the interference fit between the sinking groove and the flip cover body is achieved by arranging the convex points, which makes the operation more convenient.

[0023] Optionally, when the flip cover body closes the liquid infusion port, one end of the flip cover body away from the rotation axis thereof extends beyond the side surface of the connecting support frame to form a grip.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the arrangement of the handle makes it easy to apply force to the flip cover body to open the flip cover body, thereby greatly improving the convenience of operation.

[0025] Optionally, a mounting groove is provided on the top of the container body; the flip cover assembly is connected in the mounting groove; and when the flip cover body closes the liquid infusion port, it is flush with the top surface of the connecting support frame and the top surface of the container body.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, when the flip cover body closes the liquid filling port, it is flush with the top surface of the connection support frame and the top surface of the container body, so that the additive container will not cause interference when installed, and the aesthetics is improved.

[0027] A clothing processing device comprises a accommodating cavity; the accommodating cavity is used for installing the above-mentioned additive container; a push lock is provided in the accommodating cavity; the additive container is locked in the accommodating cavity by the push lock.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the additive container can be installed and removed by pressing, which greatly improves the operational convenience.

[0029] Optionally, the flip cover assembly is arranged at one end of the additive container away from the push lock; the pop-up stroke of the additive container after being unlocked by pressing is greater than the length of the flip cover assembly in the movement direction of the additive container, so that the flip cover body can be opened without the additive container being separated from the accommodating cavity.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the stroke of the additive container popping out after being pressed to unlock is greater than the length of the flip-top assembly in the movement direction of the additive container. In this way, when the additive container is pressed to unlock and pops out, the flip-top assembly will be completely exposed, which is convenient for subsequent opening of the flip-top body. At the same time, the additive container does not need to be completely pulled out from the accommodating cavity, which greatly improves the operational convenience.

[0042] The following is combined with Figures 1-8 The utility model is described in further detail.

[0043] Example 1: Disclosed is an additive container, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The container body 10 is a hollow rectangular parallelepiped. A mounting groove 101 for mounting the flip-cap assembly 20 is formed at one end of the upper end surface of the container body 10. A liquid inlet 100 communicating with the inner cavity of the container body 10 is formed on the lower sidewall of the mounting groove 101. The flip-cap assembly 20 includes a connecting support frame 21 and a flip-cap body 22. The connecting support frame 21 is connected to the mounting groove 101 via a snap fit. A liquid inlet 210 communicating with the liquid inlet 100 is formed on the connecting support frame 21. The flip-cap body 22 is rotatably connected to the connecting support frame 21 to open and close the liquid inlet 210. In other embodiments, the connecting support frame 21 can be integrally formed with the container body 10.

[0044] refer to Figures 4-6, a pair of coaxially arranged rotating shaft columns 212 are formed on the connecting support frame 21; a pair of rotating shaft holes that cooperate with the rotating shaft columns 212 are formed on the flip cover body 22; the connecting support frame 21 and the flip cover body 22 are both integrally injection molded by plastic; a pair of first limit blocks 211 are formed on the connecting support frame 21; a pair of second limit blocks 221 are formed on the flip cover body 22; a pair of second limit blocks 221 are located between the pair of first limit blocks 211; the ends of the pair of first limit blocks 211 close to each other are formed as a first guide surface 2111; the ends of the pair of second limit blocks 221 away from each other are formed as a second guide surface 2211; when the flip cover body 22 rotates, the second limit block 221 will contact the first limit block 211. Since it is made of plastic, the second limit block 221 and the first limit block 2 11 will deform and avoid under the guidance of the first guide surface 2111 and the second guide surface 2211, so that the second limit block 221 passes over the first limit block 211, so that the flip cover body 22 switches between the open state and the closed state, wherein the open state is that the flip cover body 22 opens the liquid infusion port 210, and the closed state is that the flip cover body 22 closes the liquid infusion port 210; at the same time, when the flip cover body 22 is not subjected to force, the first limit block 211 and the second limit block 221 will not deform and avoid, so that the flip cover body 22 can be maintained in the open state or the closed state; in other embodiments, only one of the first limit block 211 and the second limit block 221 can have a guide surface, that is, only the first limit block 211 has the first guide surface 2111 or only the second limit block 221 has the second guide surface 2211.

[0045] refer to Figure 6, the first guide surface 2111 includes a first fixed guide surface 2112 and a second fixed guide surface 2113; the first fixed guide surface 2112 and the second fixed guide surface 2113 are arranged in a vertical direction; the first fixed guide surface 2112 is located in front of the second fixed guide surface 2113; the first fixed guide surface 2112 and the second fixed guide surface 2113 form an acute angle and a circular arc transition; the first fixed guide surface 2112 is parallel to the vertical plane passing through the axis of the rotating shaft column 212; the second guide surface 2211 includes a first moving guide surface 2212 and a second moving guide surface 2213; when the flip cover body 22 is in the closed state, the first moving guide surface 2212 is located above the second moving guide surface 2213; the first moving guide surface 2212 and the second moving guide surface 2213 form an obtuse angle and a circular arc Transition; the angle between the first moving guide surface 2212 and the vertical plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft column 212 is greater than the angle between the second moving guide surface 2213 and the vertical plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft column 212; the second guide surface 2211 transitions to a circumferential arc; when the flip cover body 22 changes from a closed state to an open state, the second moving guide surface 2213 first contacts the second fixed guide surface 2113; when the flip cover body 22 is in the open state, the first moving guide surface 2212 abuts against the first fixed guide surface 2112. Since the first fixed guide surface 2112 is a vertical surface, a greater force is required to make the flip cover body 22 flip down; when the flip cover body 22 changes from an open state to a closed state, the first moving guide surface 2212 first contacts the first fixed guide surface 2112.

[0046] In order to facilitate opening the flip cover body 22, refer to Figure 7 When the flip cover body 22 is in the closed state, one end of the flip cover body 22 away from its rotation axis extends beyond the side surface of the connection support frame 21 to form a handle, so that the flip cover body 22 can be flipped up to the open state through the handle.

[0047] Example 2: The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is: Figure 8 In order to better maintain the flip cover body 22 in the open state, the opening and closing angle of the flip cover body 22 is greater than or equal to 90 degrees. In this way, when the flip cover body 22 is in the open state, the gravity of the flip cover body 22 will not drive it to rotate toward the fluid infusion port 210, so the operator can operate more confidently during fluid infusion.

[0048] Example 3: The difference between Example 3 and Example 1 is: Figure 4 In order to improve the aesthetics, a sinking groove 213 is formed on the upper end surface of the connecting support frame 21 to cooperate with the flip cover body 22; Figure 7 When the flip cover body 22 is in the closed state, the upper end surfaces of the flip cover body 22, the connecting support frame 21 and the container body 10 are flush.

[0049] Example 4: The difference between Example 4 and Example 1 is:Figure 3 A breathable gap 200 is formed between the rotating connection side of the flip cover body 22 and the connecting support frame 21, which is connected to the inner cavity of the container body 10. In this way, the inner cavity of the container body 10 is connected to the external atmosphere through the breathable gap 200, which can balance the internal and external pressures of the additive container and prevent the additive container from deformation.

[0050] In order to make the flip cover body 22 more stable when it is in the closed state, the sinking groove 213 is interference fit with the flip cover body 22, so that the flip cover body 22 must apply a certain force to flip up. Figure 4 There are many forms of interference fit between the sinking groove 213 and the flip cover body 22. For example, a plurality of short ribs or protrusions similar to short ribs are provided on the two side walls of the flip cover body 22 perpendicular to its rotation axis. In order to facilitate the flip cover body 22 to enter the sinking groove 213, the protrusions can be provided with spherical protrusions 222. The short ribs and the protrusions can be integrally formed with the flip cover body 22, and of course they can also be connected by gluing.

[0051] A clothing processing device comprises a receiving chamber for mounting the aforementioned additive container; a push lock is provided within the receiving chamber; the additive container is locked within the receiving chamber by the push lock, and can be locked and unlocked by pressing the additive container. To facilitate refilling, a flip cover assembly 20 is provided at the end of the additive container away from the push lock; the ejection stroke of the additive container after being unlocked by pressing is greater than the length of the flip cover assembly 20 in the direction of movement of the additive container, allowing the flip cover body to be opened without the additive container leaving the receiving chamber; thus, additives can be added to the additive container through the refill port 210 without removing the additive container, greatly improving operational convenience.

[0052] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
