[0018] The inside of the shell 1 is provided with a set of automatic dispensing components 2 and two outer cylinders 3;

[0019] Each outer cylinder 3 has a water inlet pipe 4 and a water outlet pipe 5, and the outside of the outer cylinder 3 is provided with a motor 6 and the inside is provided with an inner cylinder 7;

[0020] The main structure of the automatic dispensing component 2 is shown in Figure 3 The main structure of the automatic dispensing component 2 is shown in

[0021] When one of the outer cylinders 3 is dispensing detergent, the water inlet pipe 4 corresponding to the inner cylinder 7 is flowing water, and the dispensing pump 25 will draw the detergent from the liquid storage cavity 21 into the one-in-two-out dispensing pipe 23. The water flow in the corresponding water inlet pipe 4 causes a negative pressure at the liquid suction port 241 of the venturi tube 24, which sucks the detergent in the one-in-two-out dispensing pipe 23 into the corresponding water inlet pipe 4 and then into the corresponding outer cylinder 3 through the water flow.

[0022] At this time, the outer cylinder 3 that does not need to dispense detergent has no water flow in the corresponding water inlet pipe 4, and the one-way valve 26 needs a certain pressure to open in the forward direction, so the detergent will not be sucked into the corresponding water inlet pipe 4, thereby achieving dispensing control of the two outer cylinders 3 through one dispensing pump 25.
