[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figures 7 to 9This application provides a detergent dispenser assembly 100, including a lid assembly 20, a body 30, and a drawer assembly 80. The lid assembly 20 includes a water inlet 215 and a first water outlet 221. The body 30 and the lid assembly 20 together enclose an accommodating space. The drawer assembly 80 includes a drawer 40 and an agitator 50 disposed within the drawer 40. At least a portion of the drawer 40 is located within the accommodating space. The drawer 40 is slidably connected to the body 30. The first water outlet 221 of the lid assembly 20 communicates with the inner cavity of the drawer 40. The drawer 40 has a first water outlet 45, which communicates with the inner cavity of the body 30.

[0041] It is understood that when using the detergent dispenser assembly 100 of this application embodiment, the user can first pull open the drawer 40, put the detergent into the drawer 40, and then connect the water inlet 215 of the lid assembly 20 to an external water source, so that the water flow is introduced into the drawer 40 through the first water outlet 221 to dissolve the detergent. Since the water flow will impact the rotation of the stirring impeller 50 in the drawer 40, the detergent will dissolve more fully under the rotation and stirring action of the stirring impeller 50, thereby improving the washing effect.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom of the box body 30 is provided with a second water outlet 32, which can be connected to the inner drum of a clothing processing device (such as a washing machine) to deliver water containing detergent to the inner drum.

[0043] Please see Figure 3 The drawer assembly 80 also includes a detergent dispenser 70 disposed within the drawer 40. The detergent dispenser 70 is used to dispense liquid detergent (e.g., laundry liquid). Exemplarily, the detergent dispenser 70 includes a siphon structure.

[0044] Understandably, when using solid detergent (such as laundry powder) to wash clothes, the detergent dispenser 70 can be removed from the drawer 40 and the solid detergent can be directly dispensed into the drawer 40.

[0045] The detergent dispenser assembly 100 provided in this application embodiment has an agitator 50 installed inside the drawer 40. When water flows into the inner cavity of the drawer 40 through the first water outlet 221 of the cover assembly 20, the water flow will impact the agitator 50 to make it rotate. Under the agitation action of the agitator 50, the detergent can be more fully dissolved in the water, thereby achieving a better washing effect.

[0046] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4The drawer assembly 80 further includes a bracket 60 disposed inside the drawer 40, the stirring impeller 50 is mounted on the bracket 60, and the bracket 60 is connected to the drawer 40.

[0047] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The drawer 40 includes a bottom plate 43, a first side plate 41, a second side plate 42, and a horizontal partition 44. The first side plate 41 and the second side plate 42 are disposed on the same side of the bottom plate 43 and are both connected to the bottom plate 43. The two ends of the horizontal partition 44 are respectively connected to the first side plate 41 and the second side plate 42, and the horizontal partition 44 is spaced apart from the bottom plate 43. The bracket 60 is detachably connected to the horizontal partition 44.

[0048] It is understandable that by using a detachable connection to install the bracket 60 on the partition plate 44, the bracket 60 can be easily disassembled and installed, thus facilitating the cleaning, maintenance, or replacement of the mixing impeller 50 and / or the bracket 60.

[0049] It is understandable that the reason for maintaining a gap between the diaphragm 44 and the bottom plate 43 is to allow water to flow through the gap to the first outlet 45.

[0050] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 5 One end of the first side plate 41, one end of the second side plate 42, and the bottom plate 43 form the first drain outlet 45 of the drawer 40.

[0051] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 7 The direction from the position inside the drawer 40 corresponding to the first water outlet 221 to the first water outlet 45 is the first direction, and the central axis of the stirring impeller 50 is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0052] It is understandable that the first direction is the direction of water flow. By setting the central axis of the stirring impeller 50 to be perpendicular to the direction of water flow, the stirring impeller 50 can maximize the conversion of the kinetic energy of the water flow into the kinetic energy of the stirring impeller 50's rotation after being impacted by the water flow, thereby increasing the rotational speed of the stirring impeller 50 and thus improving the dissolution effect of the detergent in the drawer 40.

[0053] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 6 The bracket 60 includes a connected bracket body 61 and a buckle 62. The cross partition 44 is provided with a mounting hole 441. The buckle 62 engages with the mounting hole 441 to realize the connection between the bracket 60 and the cross partition 44.

[0054] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 6 The bracket 60 includes a connected bracket body 61 and a guide part 63. The cross partition 44 is provided with a guide hole 442. The guide part 63 enters the guide hole 442 to realize the alignment of the bracket 60 and the cross partition 44.

[0055] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 6 For example, both the guide portion 63 and the guide hole 442 are T-shaped.

[0056] It is understandable that by providing a guide part 63 on the bracket 60, the bracket 60 and the transverse partition 44 can be quickly aligned by the cooperation between the guide part 63 and the guide hole 442. By providing a buckle 62 on the bracket 60, the bracket 60 and the transverse partition 44 can be connected by snapping the buckle 62 into the mounting hole 441.

[0057] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 6 The support 60 includes a support body 61, which includes a first side portion 611, a second side portion 612, and a connecting portion 613. The first side portion 611 and the second side portion 612 are arranged opposite to each other and are both connected to the connecting portion 613. The two ends of the stirring impeller 50 are rotatably connected to the first side portion 611 and the second side portion 612, respectively, and the connecting portion 613 is connected to the transverse partition 44.

[0058] Please see Figure 6 For example, both the buckle 62 and the guide portion 63 are connected to the connecting portion 613.

[0059] Please see Figure 7 At the same time, combined Figure 3 The cover assembly 20 further includes a second water outlet 222, which is provided corresponding to the stirring impeller 50 so that water can impact the stirring impeller 50 from above; the first water outlet 221 is provided on the side of the stirring impeller 50 away from the first water outlet 45.

[0060] For example, in the lid assembly 20, the number of the first water outlet 221 can be one or more, and the number of the second water outlet 222 can be one or more. Multiple means two or more, such as three, four, five, six, etc.

[0061] It is understandable that by simultaneously providing a first water outlet 221 and a second water outlet 222 in the lid assembly 20, with the first water outlet 221 located in front of the stirring impeller 50 and the second water outlet 222 located above the stirring impeller 50, when water enters the drawer 40, the stirring impeller 50 can be impacted by water flow from front to back and water flow from top to bottom, thereby further increasing the rotation speed and stirring effect of the stirring impeller 50, and thus accelerating the dissolution of detergent.

[0062] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The box cover assembly 20 includes an upper cover 21 and a lower cover 22 disposed opposite to each other. The lower cover 22 is disposed between the upper cover 21 and the box body 30. The upper cover 21 is provided with the water inlet 215, and the lower cover 22 is provided with the first water outlet 221; and / or, the lower cover 22 is provided with the second water outlet 222.

[0063] This application also provides a garment processing device, including the detergent box assembly 100 in any of the above embodiments.

[0064] For example, the garment handling equipment can be a washing machine or a washer-dryer combo.

[0065] The detergent dispenser assembly and clothing treatment device provided in the embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application, and the descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand this application. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of this application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
