AI Technical Summary
Existing garment processing equipment is prone to dripping and waste during the additive dispensing process, especially dripping caused by additives adhering to the outer wall and being exposed after disassembly.
The system employs a combination structure of a liquid extraction tube and a sleeve. The liquid extraction tube has both extraction and initial states. The extraction port is sealed by the sleeve, and the liquid extraction tube extends into the liquid outlet valve body to achieve a seal. Combined with the design of the valve core and sealing components, this ensures that the additive does not drip or get wasted.
This effectively avoids dripping and waste of additives on the outer wall of the dispensing tube, improving the efficiency of additive use and the ease of use of the equipment.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of clothes processing equipment, and particularly to an additive feeding device and clothes processing equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, clothes processing equipment, as one of the indispensable household appliances in modern families, provides great convenience for people's daily life.
[0003] When the traditional clothes processing equipment processes clothes, the user needs to judge the required dosage of additive according to experience before the processing starts, which increases the workload of the user, and during the manual adding process, the amount of additive is likely to be too little to achieve the desired processing result or too much to be wasted due to improper control.
[0004] The prior art CN115387085A discloses a liquid guide plug-in structure provided on an additive feeding module, which can be inserted into a liquid storage box through a feeding opening of the liquid storage box to communicate with the additive inside the liquid storage box. A detection device is arranged on the liquid guide plug-in structure to detect the type and / or amount of additive in the liquid storage box. The prior art CN115387085A also provides an additive feeding module, which includes a closed chamber liquid storage box for storing additives and a plug-in slot for mounting the liquid storage box. The plug-in slot is provided with the liquid guide plug-in structure. The prior art CN115387085A also specifically discloses a liquid guide plug-in pipe, which includes a liquid guide pipe section and a plug-in pipe section with a reduced outer diameter connected to the end of the liquid guide pipe. The plug-in pipe section has a liquid guide opening on the side wall. When taking liquid, the plug-in pipe section with the liquid guide opening is inserted into the plug-in slot, so that the additive flows into the plug-in pipe through the liquid guide opening, thereby guiding the additive in the liquid storage box out for use.
[0005] In the prior art CN115387085A, the liquid guide opening is located on the plug-in pipe section with a reduced outer diameter. When guiding liquid, the plug-in pipe section is inserted into the plug-in slot, and the additive in the plug-in slot is wrapped around the outer peripheral wall and end face of the plug-in pipe section and enters the plug-in pipe section through the liquid guide opening. Since the additive is wrapped around the outer peripheral wall and end face of the plug-in pipe section, the additive wrapped around the outer wall and end face of the plug-in pipe section is likely to drip after the plug-in pipe section is taken out of the liquid storage box. Moreover, since the liquid guide opening is exposed after the liquid guide plug-in pipe is taken out, the additive in the plug-in pipe section and the liquid guide pipe section is likely to flow out of the liquid guide opening and drip.

When the liquid extraction tube is in the liquid extraction state, it extends into the valve body so that the liquid outlet is connected to the liquid extraction port. The distance between the liquid outlet and the first sealing element located behind the liquid extraction port is X. The travel distance of the container from the locked state to the unlocked state of the push-button lock is Y, where X≥Y.
2. The additive dispensing device according to claim 1, characterized in that, When the liquid extraction tube is in the liquid extraction state, the front end of the liquid extraction tube abuts against the rear end of the valve core, the outer peripheral wall of the liquid extraction tube is sealed with the valve body, and the tube sleeve closes the liquid extraction port when the liquid extraction tube is in the initial state.
3. The additive dispensing device according to claim 1, characterized in that, The liquid sampling tube has a liquid level detection probe embedded in its body. The front end of the liquid sampling tube is provided with a detection cavity. The detection end of the liquid level detection probe extends into the detection cavity. When the liquid sampling tube is in the liquid sampling state, the detection cavity is connected to the inner cavity of the container. When the liquid sampling tube is in the initial state, the sleeve is reset relative to the liquid sampling tube and seals to close the detection cavity.
4. The additive dispensing device according to claim 3, characterized in that, The outer periphery of the liquid collection tube is provided with a second sealing element, which is located on the front and rear sides of the detection cavity. When the liquid collection tube is in the initial state, the second sealing element cooperates with the tube sleeve to seal the detection cavity.
5. The additive dispensing device according to claim 3, characterized in that, The valve body is provided with a valve cavity, and the valve core reciprocates within the valve cavity. The valve body is provided with a detection port that connects the valve cavity with the inner cavity of the container. When the liquid taking tube is in the liquid taking state, the detection cavity is connected to the inner cavity of the container through the valve cavity and the detection port.
6. The additive dispensing device according to claim 5, characterized in that, The detection ports are provided in multiple directions around the valve body. When the liquid collection tube is in the liquid collection state, the detection cavity is connected to at least two detection ports.
7. The additive dispensing device according to claim 5, characterized in that, The rear end of the valve body is provided with a connector for inserting a liquid collection tube into the valve cavity. The liquid outlet is located between the detection port and the connector. When the liquid collection tube is in the liquid collection state, the liquid outlet is connected to the liquid collection port. The detection port and the detection cavity at least partially overlap in the axial direction of the valve core.
8. The additive dispensing device according to claim 5, characterized in that, The valve body has a guide base at the front end, and the front end of the valve core passes through the guide base and cooperates with the guide base. The valve core reciprocates relative to the guide base.
9. The additive dispensing device according to claim 8, characterized in that, The valve cavity is provided with an elastic reset element that drives the valve core to reset, and a receiving cavity for accommodating the elastic reset element is formed between the rear end of the guide base and the inner wall of the valve cavity.
10. The additive dispensing device according to claim 8, characterized in that, The valve core is provided with a stop rib at the front and a stop step at the front of the guide base. When the liquid extraction tube is in the initial state, the stop rib abuts against the stop step.
11. A garment processing device, comprising a body, characterized in that, The machine body is provided with an additive dispensing device as described in any one of claims 1 to 10.
