DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order for those skilled in the art to which the present application pertains to more clearly understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0035] In addition, the present application can repeatedly refer to numbers and / or letters in different examples, and such repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art can realize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0036] In the related art, a sealing gasket is arranged at the bottom of the bottle cap of the detergent storage container. After the detergent bottle is connected with the bottle cap, the sealing gasket at the bottom of the bottle cap is compressed by the end of the bottle body to realize the sealing of the detergent bottle, so as to avoid the leakage of the detergent due to the poor sealing. However, the elasticity of the sealing ring is reduced after being compressed for a long time, which causes the poor sealing between the detergent bottle and the bottle cap and the leakage. After the leakage occurs, the user generally twists the bottle cap more tightly when filling the detergent next time. The tighter the bottle cap is twisted, the greater the axial extrusion force between the bottle cap and the bottle body is, the sealing ring is excessively compressed, and the elasticity is reduced more seriously. After the sealing ring is compressed, the interference fit between the sealing ring and the bottle body is formed, and the bottle cap is difficult to be opened by the user subsequently, which affects the user experience.

[0037] Therefore, the present application provides a detergent storage container and a washing equipment, which can at least solve the technical problems of the poor sealing between the detergent bottle and the bottle cap and the difficult opening of the bottle cap after being used for a long time in the related art. The specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0038] In the first aspect of the present application, a detergent storage container 100 is provided, which is applied to a washing equipment 1000 with an automatic detergent feeding function. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The detergent storage container 100 includes a container body 110 and a cover body 120. The container body 110 has a liquid storage cavity 110a for storing detergent. The liquid storage cavity 110a has an opening 110b for filling the detergent. The container body 110 is sealingly connected with the cover body 120, and the two can move relative to each other to open or close the opening 110b. The connection mode of the container body 110 and the cover body 120 is not limited to threaded connection, buckle connection or the combination of the two.

[0039] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the inner wall of the cover body 120 is provided with a first annular rib 121 and a second annular rib 122. The first annular rib 121 and the second annular rib 122 are both convex ribs protruding towards the container body 110, and the two are concentrically distributed, specifically, the first annular rib 121 is located in the ring of the second annular rib 122.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 3In the assembled state of the container body 110 and the cover 120, the first annular rib 121 extends into the opening 110b of the container body 110, and the first annular rib 121 abuts against the inner wall surface 111a at the opening 110b of the container body 110. The first annular rib 121 can achieve radial sealing at the opening 110b of the container body 110, thereby preventing liquid leakage. Since a sealing structure is formed between the first annular rib 121 and the side wall 111 at the opening 110b of the container body 110, the friction between the side wall 111 and the first annular rib 121 remains substantially unchanged during the locking of the container body 110 and the cover 120. This friction does not become larger and larger as the container body 110 and the cover 120 are screwed tighter and tighter, ensuring that the container body 110 and / or the cover 120 can be easily unscrewed when the detergent storage container 100 needs to be opened.

[0041] In some embodiments, the interference amount between the first annular rib 121 and the inner wall surface 111a at the opening 110b of the container body 110 is 0.05mm-0.15mm, such as 0.055mm, 0.07mm, 0.08mm, 0.095mm, 0.1mm, 0.115mm, 0.125mm, 0.13mm, 0.14mm, 0.145mm, etc.

[0042] The abutment between the first annular rib 121 and the inner wall surface 111a at the opening 110b of the container body 110 can be that the entire first annular rib 121 abuts against the inner wall surface 111a, or that only a part of the first annular rib 121 abuts against the inner wall surface 111a. Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the side of the first annular rib 121 facing the inner wall surface 111a at the opening 110b is provided with a sealing protrusion 1211, and the sealing protrusion 1211 is in interference fit with the inner wall surface 111a at the opening 110b of the container body 110. The thickness at the position of the sealing protrusion 1211 is greater than the thickness of other parts of the first annular rib 121.

[0043] In some embodiments, a sealing groove can also be provided on the inner wall surface 111a at the opening 110b of the container body 110, and the sealing protrusion 1211 extends into the sealing groove and abuts against the groove wall of the sealing groove. A labyrinth sealing structure is formed by the mutual embedding of the sealing protrusion 1211 and the sealing groove, i.e., the sealing protrusion 1211 and the sealing groove form a tortuous sealing surface, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 3In the assembled state of the container body 110 and the cover 120, the second annular rib 122 is located at the periphery of the opening 110b of the container body 110, i.e., the side wall 111 at the opening 110b of the container body 110 is sandwiched between the first annular rib 121 and the second annular rib 122. The second annular rib 122 is used to correct the shape of the side wall 111 at the opening 110b of the container body 110, so that it better fits the first annular rib 121.

[0045] At least part of the second annular rib 122 is in clearance fit with the outer wall surface 111b at the opening 110b. If the opening 110b of the container body 110 is not round, the non-round side wall 111 will be in partial contact with the second annular rib 122, and the second annular rib 122 corrects the shape of the side wall 111 using its own circular shape. The corrected side wall 111 will better fit the first annular rib 121, and the first annular rib 121 is in interference fit with the corrected side wall 111 at various places in the circumferential direction, thereby achieving a better sealing effect. If the roundness of the opening 110b of the container body 110 is high, the side wall 111 is not in contact with the second annular rib 122, i.e., there is a certain gap between the side wall 111 and the second annular rib 122 at various places, so that the frictional resistance between the side wall 111 and the second annular rib 122 does not affect the disassembly operation of the container body 110 and the cover 120. Even if the opening 110b of the container body 110 is not round, the side wall 111 is only in partial contact with the second annular rib 122. That is, there is a gap between at least part of the second annular rib 122 and the outer wall surface 111b at the opening 110b. Most of the second annular rib 122 is not in contact with the side wall 111, and the same can avoid excessive friction between the second annular rib 122 and the container body 110, causing the container body 110 and / or the cover 120 to be difficult to unscrew.

[0046] In some embodiments, the gap between the second annular rib 122 and the outer wall surface 111b at the opening 110b of the container body 110 is 0.05mm-0.15mm, such as 0.055mm, 0.07mm, 0.08mm, 0.095mm, 0.1mm, 0.115mm, 0.125mm, 0.13mm, 0.14mm, 0.145mm, etc.

[0047] The detergent storage container 100 provided by the present application forms a side seal with the first annular rib 121 and the side wall 111 at the opening 110b of the container body 110, and the second annular rib 122 corrects the shape of the side wall 111 at the opening 110b so that it better fits the first annular rib 121, thereby ensuring the sealing effect. Thus, the sealing between the container body 110 and the cover 120 is achieved, and the sealing gasket at the bottom of the bottle cap in the related art can be removed, thereby reducing the cost. Of course, in some embodiments, the sealing gasket can also be retained, and the sealing gasket is arranged between the first annular rib 121 and the second annular rib 122 and is attached to the top wall of the cover 120. Obviously, the sealing gasket between the first annular rib 121 and the second annular rib 122 has a smaller volume than the sealing gasket used in the related art, thereby reducing the material cost of the sealing gasket to a certain extent.

[0048] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first annular rib 121 has a greater height than the second annular rib 122, and / or the first annular rib 121 has a smaller thickness than the second annular rib 122. The first annular rib 121 is higher and / or thinner than the second annular rib 122, so that the first annular rib 121 has a certain elasticity and is convenient to abut against the inner wall surface 111a of the opening 110b of the container body 110. The second annular rib 122 is lower and / or thicker than the first annular rib 121, so that the second annular rib 122 has a higher strength and no elasticity and can resist the elastic deformation force of the non-circular side wall 111 when the non-circular side wall 111 contacts the second annular rib 122, thereby correcting the shape of the side wall 111.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first annular rib 121 is both higher and thinner than the second annular rib 122. In terms of height, the first annular rib 121 has a height of 2 mm to 3 mm, such as 2.1 mm, 2.25 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.6 mm, 2.75 mm, 2.8 mm, 2.95 mm, etc. The second annular rib 122 has a height of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm, such as 0.55 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.95 mm, 1 mm, 1.15 mm, 1.25 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.45 mm, etc. In terms of thickness, the first annular rib 121 has a thickness of 0.5 mm to 1.2 mm, such as 0.55 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.95 mm, 1 mm, 1.15 mm, etc. The second annular rib 122 has a thickness of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm, such as 0.55 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.95 mm, 1 mm, 1.15 mm, 1.25 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.45 mm, etc.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 3In some embodiments, the side surface of the second annular rib 122 facing the outer wall surface 111b of the opening 110b is a conical surface 1221. The diameter of the cross-section of the conical surface 1221 gradually increases from the root to the end of the second annular rib 122. That is, along the connection direction between the container body 110 and the cover 120, the space inside the second annular rib 122 gradually decreases, but the root of the second annular rib 122 can still maintain at least a partial clearance fit between the root and the side wall 111 at the opening 110b of the container body 110. If the opening 110b of the container body 110 is not circular, the maximum diameter of the cross-section of the conical surface 1221 should be greater than the maximum outer diameter of the non-circular side wall 111 of the container body 110, so that the non-circular side wall 111 can smoothly enter the space inside the second annular rib 122. As the container body 110 and the lid 120 move toward each other, the degree of correction of the side wall 111 at the opening 110b of the container body 110 by the conical surface 1221 gradually increases.

[0051] In some embodiments, the second annular rib 122 may be integrally frustum-shaped, such that the side of the outer wall surface 111b of the second annular rib 122 facing the opening 110b is a conical surface 1221. In this embodiment, the wall thickness of the second annular rib 122 is the same at all points. In other embodiments, the inner annular surface of the second annular rib 122 may be a conical surface 1221, and the outer annular surface may be a cylindrical surface. In this embodiment, the wall thickness of the second annular rib 122 gradually increases from the end to the root.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the container body 110 and the lid 120 are threaded together. The sidewall 111 at the opening 110b of the container body 110 protrudes outward relative to the main body 112 of the container body 110, and the outer wall surface 111b of this sidewall 111 is provided with external threads, such as... Figure 5 As shown. The inner surface 120a of the cover 120 is provided with internal threads, as... Figure 6 As shown, the cover 120 is fastened to the side wall 111 and is threadedly connected to the side wall 111.

[0053] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer wall surface 111b of the sidewall 111 and the inner surface 120a of the cover 120 are respectively provided with a first stop 113 and a second stop 123, both of which are located at the ends of the corresponding threads. The first stop 113 and the second stop 123 at least partially overlap in the direction of tightening the threads, such as... Figure 4When the cover 120 is screwed to a certain extent relative to the container body 110, the first stop 113 and the second stop 123 abut, so that the cover 120 and the container body 110 cannot be rotated relative to each other, and the user can know that the cover 120 and the container body 110 have been screwed by the hand feeling feedback. Since the first stop 113 is located on the outer wall surface 111b of the side wall 111, and the second stop 123 is located on the inner side surface 120a of the cover 120, after the cover 120 and the container body 110 are screwed, the first stop 113 and the second stop 123 are both blocked by the cover 120 and cannot be seen from the outside, as shown in Figure 1 The appearance surface of the cover 120 is a complete surface and cannot hide stains; the first stop 113 and the second stop 123 are blocked by the cover 120 and cannot be damaged by external objects; in addition, the appearance of the detergent storage container 100 can be improved.

[0054] The detergent in the container body 110 can be sucked into the washing drum 210 of the washing device 1000 through the liquid supply pipe 130, which can penetrate the container body 110 or the cover 120 to extend into the liquid storage cavity 110a of the container body 110. Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 respectively show the structure schematic diagram and the exploded view of the detergent storage container 100 in another embodiment of the application. In this embodiment, the detergent storage container 100 further comprises a liquid supply pipe 130 penetrating the cover 120 and extending into the liquid storage cavity 110a of the container body 110. The inlet of the liquid supply pipe 130 is close to the lowest point of the liquid storage cavity 110a to ensure that the detergent in the liquid storage cavity 110a can be sucked as much as possible.

[0055] In some embodiments, the lowest point of the liquid storage cavity 110a can be a region naturally formed due to the inclined placement of the container body 110, for example, the container body 110 is a rectangular bottle, and the bottle is placed in an attitude with the bottle bottom facing upwardly and obliquely, so that the lowest point of the liquid storage cavity 110a is formed at the bottom of the bottle mouth of the bottle.

[0056] In other embodiments, the lowest point of the liquid storage cavity 110a can also be achieved by providing a groove in the container body 110. As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the container body 110 is provided with a liquid collecting cavity 110c which is in communication with the liquid storage cavity 110a. The liquid collecting cavity 110c is formed by the bottom wall 1121 of the container body 110 being outwardly protruded. The protruding part 1122 where the liquid collecting cavity 110c is located can also be used as a positioning structure of the detergent storage container 100 when it is installed. The liquid collecting cavity 110c is the lowest point of the internal space of the container body 110. The inlet of the liquid supply pipeline 130 extends into the liquid collecting cavity 110c. The liquid collecting cavity 110c is close to the opening 110b of the container body 110, so that the length of the pipeline section of the liquid supply pipeline 130 in the container body 110 is short, and the residual detergent in the liquid supply pipeline 130 is reduced.

[0057] In some embodiments, the detergent storage container 100 further comprises a one-way valve 140. The one-way valve 140 is used to balance the pressure difference between the liquid storage cavity 110a and the outside, so as to avoid the low air pressure in the liquid storage cavity 110a which is not good for sucking the detergent. The one-way valve 140 allows the gas to flow from the outside to the liquid storage cavity 110a in one direction, and prevents the gas from flowing from the liquid storage cavity 110a to the outside, so as to prevent the detergent from overflowing. The one-way valve 140 can be installed on the container body 110 or the cover body 120, which is not limited in the present application.

[0058] In order to prevent the external detergent or other liquid from entering the container body 110 through the liquid supply pipeline 130 and contaminating the detergent in the liquid storage cavity 110a of the container body 110, in some embodiments, a one-way valve 140 can also be arranged at the outlet of the liquid supply pipeline 130, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 The one-way valve 140 at the outlet of the liquid supply pipeline 130 allows the detergent to be sucked from the liquid storage cavity 110a of the container body 110 to the liquid supply pipeline 130 and then delivered to the outside through the liquid supply pipeline 130, and prevents the external liquid from entering the container body 110 through the liquid supply pipeline 130.

[0059] As shown in Figure 10 In some embodiments, the one-way valve 140 is arranged on the cover body 120. In order to facilitate the installation of the liquid supply pipeline 130 and / or the one-way valve 140, in some embodiments, the cover body 120 is provided with a mounting boss 124. The mounting boss 124 is located on the inner side of the cover body 120. In the assembled state of the container body 110 and the cover body 120, the mounting boss 124 extends into the opening 110b of the container body 110. The mounting boss 124 is provided with a mounting hole 1241 corresponding thereto. For example, if the liquid supply pipeline 130 and the one-way valve 140 are both arranged on the cover body 120, two mounting holes 1241 are provided in the mounting boss 124 corresponding thereto.

[0060] In order to facilitate the fixation of the liquid supply pipeline 130, as shown in Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting boss 124 is provided with a limiting portion 1242, and the liquid supply pipe 130 is provided with a limiting clamping plate 131. The liquid supply pipe 130 is mounted in the corresponding mounting hole 1241, and the limiting clamping plate 131 is embedded in the limiting portion 1242. The limiting clamping plate 131 abuts against the limiting portion 1242, limits the liquid supply pipe 130 along the circumferential direction of the liquid supply pipe 130, and ensures that the inlet of the liquid supply pipe 130 faces downward and is opposite to the liquid collecting cavity 110c to extend into the liquid collecting cavity 110c.

[0061] In a second aspect of the present application, a washing equipment 1000 is provided, which can be a washing machine, a dishwasher, etc. The washing machine can be a drum washing machine, a pulsator washing machine, etc., and the specific type of the washing machine is not limited in the present application.
