[0024] In order to enable the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application to be more clearly understood, the following will further describe the solutions of the present application.It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0025] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application.However, the present application can be practiced in other manners different from those described herein;Obviously, the embodiments described in the specification are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all the embodiments.
[0026] It should be noted that the directionality indication (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the utility model is only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement condition, etc.between the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the drawings), and if the specific posture changes, the directionality indication also changes accordingly.
[0027] The terms "first", "second" are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features.Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more.
[0028] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrally connected.The above-mentioned terms can be understood in the specific meaning in the present application by the person skilled in the art.In addition, when describing the pipeline, the "connected" and "connected" used in the present application have the meaning of conducting.In the specific meaning, it should be understood in combination with the context.
[0029] The detergent of the traditional drum washing machine is in the drawer type, and the water inlet mode is to inlet water from the upper part of the washing box.When the water flow is large, the solid detergent will be caked and cannot be fully dissolved, and such detergent caking will easily block the water outlet at the bottom of the washing box during the process of removing the washing box with water flow, or enter the clothes processing cavity and mix with the clothes together, and there are still detergent caking residues in the washing program structure, and even the clothes are abraded.
[0030] To solve this technical problem, some washing machines have a blocking rib in the water outlet of the washing box. The blocking rib is arranged along the direction of the water flow and has a height that is flush with the end of the water outlet, which divides the large-size water outlet into two small-size water channels. However, this blocking rib only has the function of dividing the water outlet, and the blocking effect on detergent agglomerates is not good. A large amount of detergent agglomerates still pass through the water outlet channel, causing the water inlet pipeline of the clothes treatment cavity to be blocked or entering the clothes treatment cavity to cause abrasion to the clothes.
[0031] Therefore, an embodiment of the present application provides a detergent box. A partition plate is arranged at the water outlet to divide the water outlet into two water channels. Meanwhile, the partition plate protrudes from the water outlet to form a baffle. The baffle collides with the water flow during water flow to break up large-size detergent agglomerates, thereby avoiding the problems of water inlet pipeline blockage and abrasion to the clothes in the clothes treatment cavity.
[0032] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the detergent box provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises:
[0033] A box body 1. The inside of the box body 1 is provided with a detergent containing cavity 102. The wall of the box body 1 is provided with a water outlet. The water outlet is used to make the dissolved detergent flow out of the containing cavity 102.
[0034] A partition plate 2 is embedded in the water outlet. One end of the partition plate 2 protrudes from the water outlet to form a baffle 21 in the containing cavity 102. The included angle between the width direction of the baffle 21 and the water flow direction in the containing cavity 102 is α, and 0° < α < 180°. The baffle 21 divides the water outlet into two water channels 101. Figure 1 The arrow in the figure indicates the direction of the water flow in the containing cavity 102.
[0035] Specifically, the two larger planes on the baffle 21 are respectively a water-facing surface and a water-backing surface. The height direction of the baffle 21 is the depth direction of the containing cavity 102, and the width direction of the baffle 21 is the direction perpendicular to the height direction. The width direction of the baffle 21 is the X direction in Figure 1 , and the height direction of the baffle 21 is the Y direction in Figure 1 .
[0036] The width direction of the baffle 21 is arranged at an angle with the water flow direction in the accommodating cavity 102, so that when the water flow flows to the water outlet position, the water flow first collides with the water-impingement surface of the baffle 21, and the agglomerated detergent is broken up in the process of colliding with the water-impingement surface, or stays at the water-impingement surface, and the agglomerated detergent is accelerated to dissolve under the impact of the water flow, so that the large-size agglomerated detergent is prevented from blocking the water outlet, and the problem that the agglomerated detergent enters the clothes treatment cavity is also effectively avoided. The partition plate 2 is arranged at the water outlet, and the water outlet is divided into two water outlet channels 101, the partition plate 2 divides the water outlet with a large diameter into two water outlet channels 101 with a small diameter, so that the large-size agglomerated detergent is prevented from passing through, and the flow of the detergent entering the clothes treatment cavity is not affected.
[0037] Compared with arranging the partition plate 2 along the water flow direction, the contact area with the water flow is increased,
[0038] It should be noted that the detergent in the embodiments of the present application is a solid treatment agent with a clothes treatment function, such as washing powder, bleaching powder, fragrance beads, etc., and can also be a clothes washing condensation bead with a certain volume.
[0039] The detergent box is used in a washing machine, a clothes dryer or a washing and drying integrated machine.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the angle α between the width direction of the baffle 21 and the water flow direction in the accommodating cavity 102 is greater than or equal to 30° and less than or equal to 150°. Within this range, most of the water flow can collide with the baffle 21 before flowing into the water outlet, so that the use effect of the baffle 21 is not affected due to the too small angle between the baffle 21 and the water flow direction of the accommodating cavity 102.
[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the width direction of the baffle 21 is arranged perpendicularly to the water flow direction in the accommodating cavity 102, that is, the water-impingement surface of the baffle 21 is arranged opposite to the water flow, and when the water flow collides with the baffle 21, a large impact force is generated, and the agglomerated detergent that is not completely dissolved in the water flow is broken up under the impact force, so that the water inlet is prevented from being blocked or the agglomerated detergent is prevented from entering the clothes treatment cavity with the water flow.
[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, the bottom wall of the box body 1 is concave downward to form a drainage area, the water outlet is formed in the drainage area, and the baffle 21 is connected with the side wall of the drainage area to divide the drainage area into the first drainage area 11 and the second drainage area 12 arranged in sequence along the water flow direction. The drainage area is lower than other areas of the accommodation cavity 102, so that the water flow will automatically flow to the drainage area under the action of gravity, and then flow out through the water outlet, avoiding the accumulation of solid detergents and detergent agglomerates in the accommodation cavity 102. During the flow of the detergent, it first enters the first drainage area 11, and after accumulating a certain amount in the first drainage area 11, it crosses the baffle 21 to enter the second drainage area 12 for discharge, thereby prolonging the dissolution time of the detergent in the accommodation cavity 102 and improving the dissolution effect of the detergent, further avoiding the blockage of the water outlet by detergent agglomerates.
[0043] The two sides of the baffle 21 along the width direction can be directly connected with the inner wall of the drainage area, or can have a gap between the inner wall of the drainage area, which needs to ensure that the detergent agglomerates cannot pass through.
[0044] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the end of the baffle 21 along the width direction has a gap between the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 102, and the width of the gap is less than or equal to one half of the radius of the water outlet. To ensure that most of the water flow can directly collide with the baffle 21 when flowing to the position of the water outlet, the detergent agglomerates in the gap that exceed the width of the gap cannot pass through.
[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the end face of the end of the baffle 21 protruding from one end of the water outlet is lower than the inner wall of the drainage area. That is, the upper end face of the baffle 21 is lower than the inner wall of the drainage area, so as to ensure that the water flow can pass from the upper end of the baffle 21 from the first drainage area 11 into the second drainage area 12, and flow out from both water outlet channels 101. To ensure the flow of the detergent at the water outlet.
[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, the two side walls of the drainage area parallel to the water flow direction are different in height, one side wall is higher than the other side wall, and therefore the upper end face of the baffle 21 can be arranged to be inclined to adapt to the height of the two side walls. Specifically, the shape and size of the baffle 21 can be reasonably adjusted according to other structures of the box body 1, and the purpose is to collide with the agglomerated detergent on the water flow path to avoid large agglomerated detergents from blocking the water outlet or entering the clothes treatment cavity.
[0047] For example, Figure 2As shown, the middle of the bottom wall of the detergent box is lower than the two sides, and the bottom wall is similar to a V shape. The side wall of the liquid discharge area is surrounded by one side wall of the box body 1 and the upward protrusion of the bottom wall of the box body 1. The side wall of the box body 1 is higher than the upward protrusion of the bottom wall of the box body 1. The end of the baffle 21 connected with the side wall of the box body 1 is higher than the end connected with the protruding side wall, and the upper end surface of the baffle 21 formed thereby is inclined.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the angle between the height direction of the baffle 21 and the axial direction of the water outlet is β, and 0°≤β<90°. That is, the baffle 21 can be inclined relative to the axial direction of the water outlet, but cannot be perpendicular to the axial direction of the water outlet. When the height direction of the baffle 21 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the water outlet, the baffle 21 will block the water outlet, not only failing to disperse the detergent lumps, but also possibly aggravating the blockage of the water outlet. By inclining the baffle 21 relative to the axial direction of the water outlet, the baffle 21 can disperse the detergent lumps in the water flow when encountering the water flow, thereby avoiding the blockage of the water outlet.
[0049] In some preferred embodiments, the height direction of the baffle 21 is parallel to the axial direction of the water outlet. It should be noted that the "parallel" described herein does not limit the baffle 21 to be absolutely parallel to the axial direction of the water outlet, as errors caused by production processes and assembly tolerances are allowed.
[0050] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the baffle 21 is integrally formed with the partition plate 2 in the water outlet, or is separately provided; the baffle 21, the partition plate 2, and the box body 1 can be integrally formed by a demolding or casting process.
[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, the bottom wall of the liquid discharge area gradually sinks in the direction close to the water outlet. For example, when the water outlet is arranged in the middle of the liquid discharge area, the bottom wall of the liquid discharge area on both sides of the water outlet gradually sinks in the direction close to the water outlet, so that the water in the liquid discharge area can quickly flow to the water outlet under the action of gravity.
[0052] The embodiments of the present application also provide a laundry treatment apparatus, which can be one of a washing machine, a drying machine, or a washing-drying integrated machine. The laundry treatment apparatus includes the aforementioned detergent box, which can be installed in the cabinet of the laundry treatment apparatus in the form of a drawer. The effect of the detergent box in the laundry treatment apparatus is the same as described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0053] The foregoing detailed description of the application has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. Various modifications and changes can be made to these embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the application. It is intended that the scope of the application should not be limited by the particular representative embodiments described above.
