Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of laundry detergent dispensers, specifically to a laundry detergent dispenser structure with a damping push-pull effect. Background Technology
[0002] Most top-loading washing machines on the market today have a detergent dispenser, which is usually a pull-out type located inside the water inlet tray. The detergent dispenser holds laundry powder or liquid detergent. During operation, water flows through the water inlet tray, flushing the detergent from the dispenser into the washing tub, thus cleaning the clothes.
[0003] Currently, most top-loading washing machines on the market have poor push-pull mechanism for their detergent dispensers, resulting in a mediocre user experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model proposes a laundry detergent box structure with a damping push-pull effect. Through the interaction between the elastic deformation component and the inner side of the water inlet box, the laundry detergent box body has a push-pull damping effect during the push-pull process. On the one hand, it makes the push-pull action more stable, and on the other hand, it solves the technical problem that existing laundry detergent boxes are prone to detaching from the water inlet box due to the lack of a damping push-pull structure, thereby enhancing the user experience.
[0005] A laundry detergent box structure with damping push-pull effect designed for this purpose includes a laundry detergent box body that is pushed and pulled into a water inlet box. An elastic deformation damping member is provided between the laundry detergent box body and the water inlet box. During the push-pull process of the laundry detergent box body along the water inlet box, the elastic deformation damping member is squeezed and triggered to elastically deform. The elastic deformation damping member generates a push-pull damping force during the push-pull process of the laundry detergent box body.
[0006] After the detergent dispenser is pushed into the corresponding position of the water inlet box, the elastic deformation damping component elastically resets and locks the detergent dispenser inside the water inlet box.
[0007] The elastic deformation damping component includes an elastic deformation member disposed on the outside of the laundry detergent box body. The elastic deformation member protrudes from the outside of the laundry detergent box body, and the outside of the laundry detergent box body is provided with a clearance groove for the elastic deformation member to perform elastic deformation.
[0008] Alternatively, the elastic deformation element can be located on the inside of the water inlet box.
[0009] The elastic deformable component is integrally formed with the detergent box body, or the elastic deformable component is detachably installed on the detergent box body.
[0010] The water inlet box is provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating the push-pull laundry detergent box body. The elastic deformation damping component includes an elastic deformation guide that is disposed on the inner side of the receiving cavity and cooperates with the elastic deformation member. The elastic deformation guide squeezes and triggers the elastic deformation of the elastic deformation member during the push-pull process of the laundry detergent box body.
[0011] Alternatively, the elastic deformation guide is located on the outside of the detergent dispenser.
[0012] The detergent dispenser body is pushed into the receiving cavity of the water inlet box, the elastic deformable part passes over the elastic deformable guide and elastically resets, and a locking position is formed between the elastic deformable part and the elastic deformable guide to lock the detergent dispenser body in the water inlet box.
[0013] The elastic deformation guide part protrudes and is disposed on the inner side of the receiving cavity. The elastic deformation guide part is provided with a first arc surface for triggering the elastic deformation of the elastic deformation part, and the elastic deformation part is provided with a second arc surface that cooperates with the first arc surface.
[0014] The elastic deformation guide is integrally formed with the receiving cavity of the water inlet box, or the elastic deformation guide is detachably installed on the receiving cavity.
[0015] A limiting component is provided between the water inlet box and the detergent box body, which limits the detergent box body to be pushed into the water inlet box.
[0016] The limiting component includes a limiting block extending outward from the outside of the water inlet box and a panel disposed on the detergent box body. The limiting block acts on the inside of the panel during the process of the detergent box body being pushed into the water inlet box to prevent the detergent box body from being pushed further into the water inlet box.
[0017] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] By utilizing the interaction between the elastic deformable component and the inside of the water inlet box, the detergent dispenser has a damping effect during the pushing and pulling process. This makes the pushing and pulling action smoother and solves the technical problem that existing detergent dispensers are prone to detaching from the water inlet box due to the lack of a damping pushing and pulling structure, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more apparent and understandable, many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0029] First embodiment:
[0030] See Figures 1-8 A laundry detergent box structure with damping push-pull effect includes a laundry detergent box body 2 that is pushed and pulled into a water inlet box 1. An elastic deformation damping member is provided between the laundry detergent box body 2 and the water inlet box 1. During the push-pull process of the laundry detergent box body 2 along the water inlet box 1, the elastic deformation damping member is squeezed and triggered to elastically deform. The elastic deformation damping member generates a push-pull damping force during the push-pull process of the laundry detergent box body 2.
[0031] During the pushing and pulling process of the laundry detergent box 2, the elastic deformation damping component is squeezed and triggered to deform elastically. The elastic deformation damping component generates a pushing and pulling damping force during the pushing and pulling process of the laundry detergent box 2, which increases the user's pushing and pulling experience.
[0032] After the detergent dispenser 2 is pushed into the corresponding position of the water inlet box 1, the elastic deformation damping component elastically resets and locks the detergent dispenser 2 inside the water inlet box 1. After resetting, the elastic deformation damping component forms a locking structure with the inside of the water inlet box 1, ensuring that the detergent dispenser 2 will not accidentally slide out during use, thus improving the safety and stability of use.
[0033] The elastic deformation damping component includes an elastic deformation member 3 disposed on the outer side of the detergent dispenser body 2. The elastic deformation member 3 protrudes from the outer side of the detergent dispenser body 2, and a clearance groove 4 is provided on the outer side of the detergent dispenser body 2 to allow the elastic deformation member 3 to elastically deform. The clearance groove 4 provides deformation space for the elastic deformation member 3, ensuring that the elastic deformation member 3 can deform smoothly during the pushing and pulling process of the detergent dispenser body 2, and avoiding damage to the elastic deformation member 3 during the pushing and pulling process of the detergent dispenser body 2 due to structural interference.
[0034] Through the interaction between the elastic deformable part 3 and the inside of the water inlet box, the detergent box 2 has a pushing and pulling damping effect during the pushing and pulling process. On the one hand, it makes the pushing and pulling action more stable, and on the other hand, it solves the technical problem that the existing detergent box is easy to detach from the water inlet box 1 due to the lack of a damping pushing and pulling structure, thus enhancing the user experience.
[0035] The elastic deformable component 3 is integrally formed with the detergent dispenser body 2, or the elastic deformable component 3 is detachably installed on the detergent dispenser body 2. The integral design of the elastic deformable component 3 with the detergent dispenser body 2 simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces costs; the detachable design facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the elastic deformable component 3 on the detergent dispenser body 2, improving the product's maintainability and service life.
[0036] In this embodiment, the elastic deformable part 3, the clearance groove 4, and the detergent box body 2 are integrated as a whole by injection molding.
[0037] In this embodiment, the elastic deformable member 3 is detachably installed on the outside of the detergent box 2 by screws or clips.
[0038] The water inlet box 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 5 for accommodating the push-pull detergent box 2. The elastic deformation damping component includes an elastic deformation guide 6 disposed on the inner side of the receiving cavity 5 and cooperating with the elastic deformation member 3. During the push-pull process of the detergent box 2, the elastic deformation guide 6 compresses and triggers the elastic deformation of the elastic deformation member 3. The elastic deformation guide 6 guides the deformation process of the elastic deformation member 3, ensuring the smoothness of the push-pull action and the stability of the damping effect.
[0039] The detergent dispenser 2 is pushed into the receiving cavity 5 of the water inlet box 1. The elastic deformable member 3 passes over the elastic deformable guide member 6 and elastically resets, forming a locking position between the elastic deformable member 3 and the elastic deformable guide member 6, so that the detergent dispenser 2 is locked inside the water inlet box 1. The locking position structure ensures that the detergent dispenser 2 can be firmly locked inside the water inlet box 1 after being pushed in, preventing the detergent dispenser 2 from sliding randomly on the water inlet box 1 during the operation of the washing machine, and also preventing the detergent dispenser 2 from loosening or falling off the water inlet box 1 due to vibration or water flow impact.
[0040] The elastic deformation guide 6 protrudes from the inner side of the receiving cavity 5. The elastic deformation guide 6 has a first arc surface 7 for triggering the elastic deformation of the elastic deformation member 3, and the elastic deformation member 3 has a second arc surface 8 that mates with the first arc surface 7. The two arc surfaces mate to form a point contact, line contact, or surface release engagement.
[0041] The elastic deformable guide 6 is integrally formed with the receiving cavity 5 of the water inlet box 1, or the elastic deformable guide 6 is detachably installed on the receiving cavity 5. The integral molding of the elastic deformable guide 6 and the receiving cavity 5 of the water inlet box 1 by injection molding improves the overall integrity and stability of the structure; the detachable design of the elastic deformable guide 6 on the inside of the receiving cavity 5 facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the elastic deformable guide 6 and reduces the cost of use.
[0042] In this embodiment, the elastic deformation guide 6 is installed on the inside of the water inlet box 1 by means of screws or clips.
[0043] A limiting component 9 is provided between the water inlet box 1 and the detergent dispenser 2. The limiting component 9 limits the detergent dispenser 2 so that it is pushed into the water inlet box 1. The limiting component 9 prevents the detergent dispenser 2 from being pushed too far into the water inlet box 1, ensuring that the detergent dispenser 2 is always pushed into the correct position in the water inlet box 1.
[0044] The limiting component 9 includes a limiting block 10 extending outward from the outer side of the water inlet box 1 and a panel 11 disposed on the detergent dispenser body 2. During the process of the detergent dispenser body 2 being pushed into the water inlet box 1, the limiting block 10 acts on the inner side of the panel 11 to prevent the detergent dispenser body 2 from being pushed further into the water inlet box 1. The cooperation between the limiting block 10 and the panel 11 achieves precise limiting, ensuring the accuracy of the insertion position of the detergent dispenser body 2, while simplifying the design of the limiting structure and reducing manufacturing costs.
[0045] Specifically:
[0046] See Figures 3-4The detergent dispenser 2 is in the open position on the water inlet box 1. When the detergent dispenser 2 is pushed into the water inlet box 1, the elastic deformable part 3 protruding on the outside of the detergent dispenser 2 is gradually squeezed by the elastic deformable guide part 6 on the inside of the water inlet box 1 during the pushing process, triggering the elastic deformation of the elastic deformable part 3. The resistance to pushing the detergent dispenser 2 in gradually increases, such as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown.
[0047] See Figures 5-6 During the process of pushing the detergent dispenser 2 into the water inlet box 1, when the elastic deformable member 3 follows the detergent dispenser 2 to the M-point engagement position between the elastic deformable member 3 and the elastic deformable guide member 6, the compression deformation is greatest at this point, resulting in the greatest resistance. After the elastic deformable member 3 passes this M-point, due to the recovery of elastic deformation, the detergent dispenser 2 can be pushed into the water inlet box 1 more smoothly. This ensures that the detergent dispenser 2 experiences resistance at the beginning of the push, but has a damping effect that saves effort when sliding later.
[0048] The M-point is positioned at the midpoint of the arc-shaped surfaces of the elastic deformation member 3 and the elastic deformation guide member 6, so that the detergent dispenser 2 has the maximum damping force during the pulling or pushing process.
[0049] See Figures 7-8 The detergent dispenser 2 is pushed into the limiting block 10 of the water inlet box 1 and is blocked by the limiting block 10 from moving forward. At the same time, the elastic deformable part 3 deforms and locks the detergent dispenser 2, so that the detergent dispenser 2 will not loosen and fall out, and the detergent dispenser 2 is closed on the water inlet box 1.
[0050] Second embodiment:
[0051] The structure of a laundry detergent box with damping push-pull effect differs from the first embodiment in that: the elastic deformation member 3 is disposed on the inner side of the water inlet box 1, and the elastic deformation guide member 6 is disposed on the outer side of the laundry detergent box body 2.
[0052] The inner side of the water inlet box 1 is provided with an elastic deformation avoidance recess corresponding to the elastic deformation member 3. During the process of pushing and pulling the detergent box 2 along the water inlet box 1, the elastic deformation guide member 6 of the detergent box 2 squeezes and triggers the elastic deformation of the elastic deformation member 3 to generate a pushing and pulling damping force.
[0053] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
