Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the problem that the dispensing device in the prior art cannot replenish detergent during the operation of the clothing processing equipment, and to provide a clothing processing equipment.
[0004] This utility model aims to design a garment processing device, comprising:
[0005] The housing has a first opening on its top wall, and a cover plate is provided at the first opening that can be opened and closed.
[0006] The box body is disposed inside the housing and is opposite to the first opening. The box body forms a first cavity for storing clothing treatment agent. The box body has a second opening that communicates with the first cavity. The second opening communicates with the first opening.
[0007] The garment treatment agent can flow from the first opening into the second opening under the influence of gravity.
[0008] In some embodiments, the second opening has an arcuate edge and inclined edges located at both ends of the arcuate edge.
[0009] In some embodiments, the second opening is configured as a fan-shaped opening.
[0010] In some embodiments, the box body further forms a second cavity, the second cavity being provided with a liquid outlet pipe communicating with the washing drum of the clothing processing device;
[0011] The box is equipped with a pump body and a water inlet pipe.

[0012] In some embodiments, the water inlet pipe has a sleeve on at least a portion of its sidewall, and a heating element is provided on the wall of the water inlet pipe, with the heating element located inside the sleeve.
[0013] In some embodiments, the position where the outlet end of the pump body communicates with the second cavity is the first communication position, and the position where the inlet pipe communicates with the second cavity is the second communication position. The first communication position and the second communication position are both located on the same side of the second cavity. A mixing element is provided in the second cavity and downstream of the first communication position and the second communication position. The mixing element is configured to be driven to rotate by a motor.
[0014] In some embodiments, the mixing element includes a mixing disk on which blades are spaced apart;
[0015] The blades are designed such that, as the mixing disc rotates, the blades can move the fluid located in the second cavity along the fluid flow direction.
[0016] In some embodiments, there is a gap between the end of the blade away from the mixing disk and the inner wall of the second cavity, and the blade can draw fluid into the gap and disperse the fluid when it rotates with the mixing disk.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0039] In the field of garment processing equipment, the dispensing device is generally integrated with the water tank. During the washing process, the garment processing equipment supplies water into the water tank. The water tank cannot be easily removed during the washing process, which means that when the detergent is exhausted, it is impossible to immediately replenish the water tank, resulting in poor garment cleaning.
[0040] Based on this, the following embodiments are proposed.
[0041] Example 1:
[0042] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a garment processing device, including:
[0043] The housing has a first opening 5 on its top wall 4, and a cover plate 6 is provided at the first opening 5 that can be opened and closed.
[0044] Box 1, which is disposed inside the housing and opposite to the first opening 5, the box 1 forms a first cavity 2 for storing clothing treatment agent, and the box 1 has a second opening 7 that communicates with the first cavity 2, the second opening 7 communicating with the first opening 5.
[0045] The clothing treatment agent can flow from the first opening 5 into the second opening 7 under the action of gravity.
[0046] In this embodiment, a washing machine is used as an example for the description of the clothing processing equipment. By directly opening the first opening 5 on the top wall 4 of the washing machine casing, when the user needs to add detergent to the box 1, there is no need to pull out the box 1. Just open the cover 6. The cover 6 is designed as a flip-top structure, and the top cover flips up, so that the user can directly pour the detergent into the first opening 5 after opening the cover 6. Under the action of its own weight, the detergent enters the first cavity 2 through the first opening 5 and the second opening 7. Since there is no need to pull out the box 1 to add detergent, detergent can be added even when the washing machine is running, so as to achieve relatively free replenishment of detergent and achieve better clothes cleaning effect.
[0047] In this embodiment, when adding detergent, it is only necessary to open the cover plate 6 on the top wall 4, which will not affect the normal washing program of the washing machine. Detergent can be added during the washing process, which is more flexible and practical.
[0048] In this embodiment, the top wall 4 allows users to add detergent to the container 1 more directly and conveniently. Simply open the cover 6 and pour the detergent directly into the first opening 5. Under its own weight, the detergent enters the first cavity 2 through the first opening 5 and the second opening 7. Since there is no need to remove the container 1 to add detergent, detergent can be added even while the washing machine is running, thus achieving relatively free replenishment of detergent and achieving better clothes cleaning effect.
[0049] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 4-6 As shown in Figure 9,
[0050] The second opening 7 has an arc-shaped edge 701 and inclined edges 702 located at both ends of the arc-shaped edge 701.
[0051] In this embodiment, the edges of the second opening 7 are designed as arc-shaped edges 701 and inclined edges 702. This design makes the second opening 7 fan-shaped in general. That is, the second opening 7 is constructed as a fan-shaped opening. When the amount of material used is equal, the fan-shaped opening is relatively larger, which makes it convenient for users to add detergent and avoids splashing detergent. This solves the problem of detergent dispensing port being too small and easy to splash.
[0052] A typical 3kg detergent bottle has a circular opening with a diameter of approximately 42mm. When pouring detergent, the detergent overflows due to gravity, and a small opening can easily cause spillage. In this embodiment, the second opening 7 is constructed as a fan shape. Assuming the radius of the fan is R, the perimeter of the fan is approximated by adding the arc length to the two radii. The perimeter of the fan is 0.25 × 2 × 3.14 × R + 2R = 3.57 × R. Compared to the existing square dispensing hole, the side length of a square with the same perimeter would be 0.89 × R, which is much smaller than the radius R and arc length 1.57 × R of the fan. Therefore, the longer the side length of the dispensing opening, the lower the possibility of detergent splashing. For the same amount of material, a fan shape is more suitable than a square shape as the dispensing box opening.
[0053] Regarding the shape of the second opening 7, it can also be designed as an approximate fan shape, for example, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the approximate fan shape has an arc-shaped edge 701 and a short side opposite to the arc-shaped edge 701. Both sides of the arc-shaped edge are inclined edges 702, which can also achieve a longer side length of the dispensing opening, and the possibility of detergent splashing is low.
[0054] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 4-6 As shown in Figure 9,
[0055] The central axes of the first opening 5 and the second opening 7 coincide, and the opening of the first opening 5 is greater than the opening of the second opening 7.
[0056] In this embodiment, the first opening 5 and the second opening 7 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction. The opening of the first opening 5 is designed to be larger, making it easier for the user to add detergent by aligning the first opening 5.
[0057] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 7 , 8 As shown in Figure 10,
[0058] The box body 1 also forms a second cavity 8, and the second cavity 8 is provided with a liquid outlet pipe 14 that is connected to the washing drum of the clothing processing equipment;
[0059] The box body 1 is equipped with a pump body 9 and a water inlet pipe 10. The pump body 9 has a liquid drawing end 901 connected to the first cavity 2 and a liquid outlet end connected to the second cavity 8. One end of the water inlet pipe 10 is connected to the water inlet end of the clothing processing equipment, and the other end is connected to the second cavity 8.
[0060] In this embodiment, the box body 1 is divided into two independent, non-communicating cavities, namely the first cavity 2 and the second cavity 8. The first cavity 2 is used to store detergent; the user adds detergent directly into the first cavity 2 through the opening. The second cavity 8 provides space for the detergent to mix with water. The box body 1 can be fixed to the washing machine casing or to the washing tub, without specific limitations. The design of two independent cavities in the box body 1 ensures that water inflow into the box body 1 is not affected by the opening of the cover 6, ensuring that the washing machine can continue washing even during the washing process. The detergent can be replenished at any time. The suction end 901 is a rubber hose, and the suction end of the hose is located in the first cavity 2. Through the operation of the pump body 9, the detergent in the first cavity 2 is drawn into the second cavity 8 along the suction end 901 to mix with water, thus better diluting the detergent evenly. The detergent then enters the washing drum through the outlet pipe 14 to participate in the washing process. The water inlet pipe 10 facilitates the intake of water into the second cavity 8, where it mixes with the detergent, further diluting it evenly, promoting foaming, and improving the subsequent washing effect in the washing drum. The pump body 9 can be a metering suction type dispensing pump, facilitating precise metering of detergent each time, making the detergent dosage more accurate.
[0061] Preferably, the pump body 9 has its pumping end 901 located on the short side, which makes it easier for the pump body 9 to pump liquid from the first cavity 2 and send it into the second cavity 8. The delivery distance is short and it does not hinder the entry of detergent on the side of the arc edge 701.
[0062] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 4-10 As shown,
[0063] The water inlet pipe 10 has a sleeve 13 on at least part of its side wall, and a heating element is provided on the pipe wall of the water inlet pipe 10, and the heating element is located inside the sleeve 13.
[0064] In this embodiment, the sleeve 13 can keep the inner heating element warm and reduce heat loss. Preferably, the heating element is a heating tube structure that is spirally wound on the water inlet pipe 10. When the washing water flows in the water inlet pipe 10, the temperature of the washing water can be increased by the operation of the heating element, which can further improve the mixing effect between the washing water and the detergent after the washing water enters the second cavity 8. The sleeve 13 is a cylindrical outer shell structure that wraps around the water inlet pipe 10.
[0065] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 7 , 8 As shown in Figure 10,
[0066] The position where the outlet end of the pump body 9 connects to the second cavity 8 is the first connection position, and the position where the inlet pipe 10 connects to the second cavity 8 is the second connection position. The first connection position and the second connection position are both located on the same side of the second cavity 8. A mixing element 11 is provided in the second cavity 8 and downstream of the first connection position and the second connection position. The mixing element 11 is configured to be driven to rotate by a motor.
[0067] In this embodiment, the mixing element 11 further increases the degree of uniform mixing between detergent and washing water. When the pump body 9 operates, it draws the detergent in the first cavity 2 out from the extraction end 901 to the first connecting position. The washing water that enters the second cavity 8 through the water inlet pipe 10 first enters the second connecting position. The first connecting position and the second connecting position are designed to be located on the same side of the second cavity 8, so that the detergent and washing water come into contact when they enter the second cavity 8. At the same time, the motor drives the mixing element 11 to rotate. During the rotation, the mixing element 11 continuously stirs the detergent and washing water that enter the second cavity 8, promoting better mixing between the two. The detergent is continuously dispersed by the mixing element 11, which can better dissolve in the washing water, achieving the effect of rapid dissolution and mixing of detergent.
[0068] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 7 , 8 As shown in Figures 10 and 11,
[0069] The mixing component 11 includes a mixing disk 111, on which blades 112 are spaced apart;
[0070] The blade 112 is designed such that, as it rotates with the mixing disk 111, the blade 112 can move the fluid located in the second cavity 8 along the fluid flow direction.
[0071] In this embodiment, as the detergent and washing water enter the second cavity 8, the motor drives the mixing disc 111 to rotate. As the mixing disc 111 rotates, the blades 112 continuously push and strike the detergent and washing water that have entered the second cavity 8, promoting better mixing of the two. The detergent is continuously dispersed by the blades 112, which can better dissolve in the washing water, achieving the effect of rapid dissolution and mixing of the detergent.
[0072] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 7 , 8 As shown in 10, 11, and 12,
[0073] There is a gap 12 between the end of the blade 112 away from the mixing disk 111 and the inner wall surface of the second cavity 8. When the blade 112 rotates with the mixing disk 111, it can draw the fluid into the gap 12 and disperse the fluid.
[0074] Preferably, the gap 12 is in the range of 0.5mm to 1mm. During operation, the mixing component 11 not only plays a role in rapidly dissolving the detergent and washing water, but also improves the water intake efficiency in the second cavity 8. Within this range, the height of the gap 12 allows for a certain degree of cooperation between the blade 112 and the inner wall of the second cavity 8. When the detergent passes through the gap 12, it is subjected to the squeezing between the blade 112 and the inner wall of the second cavity 8, as well as the impact of the blade 112, further enhancing the effect of rapid dissolution and mixing of the detergent.
[0075] Alternatively, in one implementation of this embodiment,
[0076] The cover plate 6 is provided with a display bar and a control button. The display bar shows the liquid level of the laundry detergent stored in the first cavity 2, and the control button is used to control the addition and dispensing of the laundry detergent.
[0077] In this embodiment, the control button for controlling the addition and dispensing of the clothing treatment agent is specially set on the cover plate 6, which is intuitive, simple, and easy to observe and operate. Users can intuitively understand the liquid level of the clothing treatment agent through the display bar, which makes it convenient for users to add and dispense the agent in a timely manner.
[0078] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 1-4 As shown,
[0079] A display panel 3 is provided on the front wall of the housing, and the side wall of the first cavity 2 is attached to the display panel 3.
[0080] In this embodiment, the sidewall of the first cavity 2 is attached to the display panel 3, further increasing the firmness and stability of the housing 1 within the washing machine casing. The first opening 5, the second opening 7, and the pump body 9 are all located close to the display panel 3, making it easier for the user to add detergent. Simultaneously, during the washing process, the heat generated by the display panel 3 is transferred to the second cavity 2, further facilitating the dissolution of the detergent within the second cavity 2 and resulting in better mixing with water.
[0081] In summary, the ingenious design of garment processing equipment lies in:
[0082] Firstly, by creating a first opening directly on the top wall of the washing machine casing, users can add detergent without removing the machine. The lid, designed as a flip-top, allows users to easily pour detergent directly into the first opening. The detergent, under its own weight, flows through the first and second openings into the first cavity. Because adding detergent doesn't require removing the machine, it can be done even while the washing machine is running, allowing for relatively flexible detergent replenishment and achieving better cleaning results. Adding detergent only requires opening the top cover, without affecting the normal washing cycle, offering greater flexibility and practicality.
[0083] Secondly, the first and second openings are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction. The first opening is designed to have a larger opening, making it easier for users to add detergent. The edges of the second opening are designed to be curved and sloping. This design makes the second opening fan-shaped. With the same amount of material, the fan-shaped opening is relatively larger, making it easier for users to add detergent and avoiding splashing. This solves the problem of detergent dispensing openings being too small and prone to splashing.
[0084] By constructing the second opening as a fan shape, compared to the existing square dispensing hole, the side length of a square with the same perimeter is much smaller than the radius and arc length of a fan. Therefore, the longer the side length of the dispensing opening, the lower the possibility of detergent splashing out. With the same amount of material, a fan shape is more suitable than a square shape as the dispensing box opening.
[0085] Third, the washing machine is divided into two independent, non-communicating chambers: the first chamber and the second chamber. The first chamber stores detergent; users add detergent directly through the opening into the first chamber. The second chamber provides space for detergent to mix with water. This dual-chamber design ensures that water intake is not affected by the lid being open, allowing for detergent replenishment during the washing cycle. The pump draws detergent from the first chamber into the second chamber along the outlet, mixing it with water for better and more even dilution. The detergent then enters the washing drum through the outlet pipe. The water inlet pipe facilitates water intake into the second chamber, mixing with the detergent and further diluting it, promoting foaming and enhancing the washing effect in the drum.
[0086] Fourth, by setting up the sleeve and heating element, when the washing water flows in the inlet pipe, the heating element can increase the temperature of the washing water, further improving the mixing effect between the washing water and the detergent after entering the second chamber.
[0087] Fifth, the mixing element further increases the uniformity of the mixing between detergent and washing water. When the pump operates, it draws the detergent from the outlet end of the first chamber to the first connecting position. The washing water, which enters the second chamber through the inlet pipe, first enters the second connecting position. The first and second connecting positions are designed to be located on the same side of the second chamber, so that the detergent and washing water come into contact when they enter the second chamber. At the same time, the motor drives the mixing element to rotate. During the rotation, the mixing element continuously stirs the detergent and washing water entering the second chamber, promoting better mixing. The detergent is continuously dispersed by the mixing element, which can better dissolve in the washing water, achieving the effect of rapid dissolution and mixing of detergent.
[0088] Sixth, as the detergent and washing water enter the second chamber, the motor drives the mixing disc to rotate. As the mixing disc rotates, the blades continuously agitate and strike the detergent and washing water entering the second chamber, promoting better mixing. The detergent is continuously dispersed by the blades, allowing it to dissolve more effectively in the washing water, achieving rapid dissolution and mixing. During operation, the mixing element not only rapidly mixes the detergent and washing water but also improves the water intake efficiency of the second chamber. The small gap height allows for a certain degree of contact between the blades and the inner wall of the second chamber. As the detergent passes through the gap, it is subjected to pressure from the blades and the inner wall of the second chamber, as well as the striking action of the blades, further enhancing the rapid dissolution and mixing effect.
