[0036] The dispenser is a device in a dishwasher used to distribute and dispense various detergents and washing aids. During use, users usually need to replenish and rinse various detergents, and they typically need to interact with the dispenser housing to do so. Therefore, the ease of use of the dispenser housing greatly affects the user experience.
[0037] The purpose of this application is to overcome the defects and deficiencies in the prior art and provide a dispenser housing that aims to solve the problems of uneven dispensing of dishwashing solids and excessive noise during dispensing in the prior art dishwasher.
[0038] The dispenser needs to dispense various detergents, therefore, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the dispenser housing 1 in the closed state according to an embodiment of this application. The dispenser housing 1 includes a first dispensing panel 10 and a second dispensing panel 11. The first dispensing panel 10 includes a first cover 100 and a first dispensing component 101. The first cover 100 is slidably disposed in the first dispensing component 101. The first dispensing panel 10 is used to dispense detergent. The second dispensing panel 11 is used to dispense detergent and / or detergent auxiliary liquid. The first dispensing panel 10 and the second dispensing panel 11 are arranged adjacent to each other. In some embodiments, the first dispensing panel 10 is a dispensing slot with a cover. The first dispensing panel 10 is used to dispense detergent solids or detergent liquid. The detergent solids can be dishwashing tablets or dishwashing powder, etc., and the detergent liquid can be dishwashing liquid. The second dispensing panel 11 is used to dispense detergent liquid or detergent auxiliary liquid, or a combination of both. The detergent liquid can be dishwashing liquid, and the detergent auxiliary liquid can be rinse aid.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the first cover of the dispenser housing in the open state is shown in the embodiment. The first dispensing component 101 includes a first receiving groove 1016 for containing solid detergent or liquid detergent. A first cover 100 is disposed in the direction of the opening 1019 of the first receiving groove 1016, and the first cover 100 slides in the direction of the opening 1019 of the first receiving groove 1016. The first cover 100 is used to close and release the detergent material in the first receiving groove 1016. The first receiving groove 1016 includes a first sidewall 1016a and a bottom wall 1016e. The first sidewall 1016a is disposed facing the opening 1019, and the bottom wall 1016e is disposed on the side of the first sidewall 1016a that is in the direction of gravity when the dispenser housing 1 is in the working state.
[0040] To ensure smooth dispensing of detergent without affecting the layout of the first receiving tank 1016, the included angle A between the first sidewall 1016a and the bottom wall 1016e is ≤145° and ≥100°. In some embodiments, A can be, but is not limited to, 110°, 120°, 130°, or 140°. If the included angle A is too small, the detergent will not be dispensed due to gravity; if the included angle A is too large, the volume of the first receiving tank 1016 will be too large or the depth insufficient. In some embodiments, the first receiving tank 1016 includes a second sidewall 1016b, a third sidewall 1016c, and a top wall 1016d, wherein the second sidewall 1016b and the third sidewall 1016c are located in the first direction of the first sidewall 1016a (…). Figure 2On both sides of the (X direction), the top wall 1016d and the bottom wall 1016e are arranged opposite to each other, and the first side wall 1016a, the second side wall 1016b, the third side wall 1016c, the top wall 1016d and the bottom wall 1016e enclose and form an accommodating space.
[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 yes Figure 1 Exploded view of the dispenser housing in the embodiment; Figure 4 yes Figure 3 An exploded view of the dispenser housing from another perspective shows that for the first cover 100 to slide on the first dispensing component 101, a sliding space 1015 needs to be provided within the first dispensing component 101, and the first dispensing component 101 also needs to slide in conjunction with the first cover 100. Therefore, the first dispensing component 101 also includes a first surface 1010, a first side surface 1012, and a second side surface 1013. The first surface 1010, the first side surface 1012, and the second side surface 1013 enclose the sliding space 1015 of the first cover 100. The first cover 100 slides above the first surface 1010, and a first receiving groove 1016 is provided on the first surface 1010. Sliding engagement features 1014 are provided on the first side surface 1012 and the second side surface 1013. Sliding members 1000 are provided on both sides of the first cover 100 facing the first side surface 1012 and the second side surface 1013, and the sliding members 1000 and the sliding engagement features 1014 form a sliding engagement. In some embodiments, the sliding fit feature 1014 is a guide rail, and the sliding fit feature 1014 includes a first sliding fit feature 1014c and a second sliding fit feature 1014d. The slider 1000 is a guide post facing the guide rail, and the slider includes a first slider 1000a and a second slider 1000b. The guide rail and the guide post are engaged, so that the first cover 100 slides along the sliding fit feature 1014.
[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the sliding engagement feature 1014 of the first dispensing component 101 is provided with a buffer feature 1014b. The buffer feature 1014b is used to reduce the noise when the first cover 100 slides. The buffer feature 1014b can be, but is not limited to, an inclined guide rail. Because the first cover 100 of this application is reset by the elastic action of the compression spring, the elastic potential energy will cause the sliding member 1000 of the first cover 100 to collide with the side wall of the sliding end 1014a along the sliding engagement feature 1014, thereby generating noise. By adding the buffer feature 1014b, this application can decelerate the first cover 100 when sliding, thereby reducing the force applied to the side wall of the sliding end 1014a when the sliding member 1000 collidees with the side wall of the sliding end 1014a, thereby reducing noise.
[0043] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the first cover of the dispenser housing in the embodiment shows that a first sealing member 1001 is provided on the side of the first cover 100 facing the first surface 1010. The first sealing member 1001 is fitted with the shape of the opening 1019, thereby sealing the opening 1019. A first sealing fitting member 1017 is provided on the first surface 1010 of the first receiving groove 1016. The first sealing fitting member 1017 is arranged around the opening 1019. The first sealing fitting member 1017 can be continuous or have at least one discontinuity 1018. The continuous arrangement of the first sealing fitting member 1017 has better sealing performance, while the discontinuity 1018 allows some water flow to enter the first receiving groove 1016 along the top wall 1016d. In some embodiments, the first sealing member 1001 may be, but is not limited to, waterproof silicone, and the first sealing mating member 1017 is composed of a second sidewall 1016b, a third sidewall 1016c, and a bottom wall 1016e extending toward and protruding from the first surface 1010; when the first cover 100 slides to the opening 1019 of the first receiving groove 1016, the first sealing member 1001 and the first sealing mating member 1017 engage in abutment engagement, thereby sealing the space.
[0044] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the first sealing mating member 1017 is provided with a discontinuity 1018 at the top wall 1016d, so that when the first sealing member 1001 and the first sealing mating member 1017 are mated, some water flow can enter the first receiving tank 1016 along the top wall 1016d, thereby dissolving the washing substance in the first receiving tank 1016 and activating its activity in advance.
[0045] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 yes Figure 1A schematic diagram of the structure of the first cover of the dispenser housing in the embodiment shows that the first dispensing panel 10 is provided with an elastic element 103, and a blocking element 1011 is rotatably provided on the first surface 1010. A blocking fitting element 1002 is provided on the first cover 100 facing the first surface 1010. One end of the elastic element 103 is provided on the first surface 1010, and the other end is provided on the first cover 100. When the first cover 100 is provided at the opening 1019, the elastic element 103 is in a compressed state, and the blocking element 1011 and the blocking fitting element 1002 form an abutting fit, thereby preventing the elastic element 103 from deforming. In some embodiments, the elastic member 103 is a tension spring in a compressed state, the blocking member 1011 is a rotating stop, and the blocking mating member 1002 and the blocking member 1011 are provided with abutting mating features. When the first cover 100 is disposed above the opening 1019, the abutting mating features of the blocking mating member 1002 and the blocking member 1011 abut against each other, thereby fixing the first cover 100 on the opening 1019.
[0046] When the first cover 100 is positioned above the opening 1019, the blocking fitting 1002 and the blocking fitting 1011 abut against each other, thereby fixing the first cover 100 to the opening 1019 and achieving a seal. When it is time to dispose of the contents, the blocking fitting 1011 rotates, thereby disengaging the blocking fitting 1002 from the blocking fitting. Under the action of the elastic member 103, the first cover 100 moves away from the opening 1019, allowing the washing material in the first receiving tank 1016 to be disposed of through the opening 1019.
[0047] This application provides a buffer feature 1014b on the first dispensing panel 10, which buffers the sliding of the first cover 100, thereby reducing the noise when the first cover 100 slides. At the same time, by making the included angle A ≤ 145° and A ≥ 100° between the first side wall 1016a and the bottom wall 1016e, the dispensing of washing materials in the first dispensing panel 10 can be made smoother.
[0048] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 yes Figure 1The embodiment shows an exploded view of the second cover of the dispenser housing. The second dispensing panel 11 is provided with a second cover 110, a second surface 111, a third side 112, and a fourth side 113. The second cover 110 is rotatably disposed on the third side 112 and the fourth side 113, and a liquid outlet feature 1100 is provided on the second cover 110. The second surface 111 is provided with a liquid outlet 1110 and a liquid inlet cavity 1111. The liquid inlet cavity 1111 includes a liquid inlet 1112 and a first through hole 1113. The liquid inlet 1112 and the first through hole 1113 are arranged adjacent to each other. The first through hole 1113 is used to balance the air pressure inside and outside the dispenser. In some embodiments, the third side 112 and the fourth side 113 are provided with a rotating fitting groove 1120, and the second cover 110 is provided with a rotating member 1102 facing the third side 112 and the fourth side 113. The rotating member 1102 is engaged in the rotating fitting groove 1120, and the second cover 110 can rotate around the rotating fitting groove 1120. The liquid outlet feature 1100 on the second cover 110 is a liquid outlet hole. When the second cover 110 is closed, the washing liquid or washing auxiliary liquid can be dispensed through the liquid outlet hole, and at the same time, water flows through the liquid outlet feature 1100 to clean the second surface 111.
[0049] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the second cover of the dispenser housing in the embodiment shows that the liquid inlet chamber 1111 is provided with a second sealing fit 1114 facing the second cover 110, and a second sealing element 1101 is provided on the second cover 110. When the second cover 110 is located above the liquid inlet chamber 1111, the second sealing fit 1114 and the second sealing element 1101 form a sealing fit.
[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the dispenser according to an embodiment of this application. This application also includes a dispenser, which includes the dispenser face shell 1, the dispenser bottom shell 2 and the dispensing component 3 as described above; wherein, the dispenser face shell 1 and the dispenser bottom shell 2 form a receiving cavity, in which washing liquid and / or washing auxiliary liquid are stored; the dispensing component 3 is disposed on the side of the dispenser bottom shell 2 opposite to the dispenser face shell 1, and the dispensing component 3 is used to control the dispensing of the first dispensing panel 10 and the second dispensing panel 11.
