Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing machine technology, specifically to a removable detergent dispenser for a washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Washing machines are common appliances in modern homes, and they are usually equipped with a detergent dispenser. The interior of the detergent dispenser has a space to hold the dispensing cartridge, which has several cavities for holding detergent. A water outlet is located at the bottom of the dispenser, connecting to the outer drum inside the washing machine via a drain pipe. A water inlet is located at the rear of the dispenser, connecting to a water inlet pipe. During the washing process, tap water enters the dispenser through the inlet and water pipe, mixes with the detergent, and then flows into the outer drum through the outlet and drain pipe.

[0003] Currently, the detergent dispenser is fixed to the control panel with multiple screws. The control panel is then fixed to the top and front of the washing machine with screws, and the top cover is also fixed to the top of the washing machine with screws. Disassembly is cumbersome when the detergent dispenser needs cleaning or repair. Operators must first use tools to remove the screws securing the top cover to open it, then disconnect the water inlet and drain hoses from the detergent dispenser. Next, they must use tools to remove the screws securing the control panel, and finally, remove each screw securing the detergent dispenser individually before it can be removed. This entire disassembly process is tedious and affects maintenance efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, how to make the detergent dispenser easy to disassemble is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a removable detergent dispenser for washing machines, which allows for easy disassembly of the detergent dispenser.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A removable detergent dispenser for a washing machine includes a dispenser body disposed inside the washing machine. The dispenser body has a receiving space inside for accommodating the dispenser. The bottom of the dispenser body has a water outlet, and the rear side of the dispenser body has a water inlet. The left and right sides of the dispenser body are slidably connected to the washing machine via guide structures. At least two connectors are slidably connected to the rear side of the dispenser body. The connectors are plugged into sockets provided on the washing machine. The rear side of the dispenser body also has a drive structure for driving all connectors to move in and out of the sockets together.

[0007] Furthermore, the guide structure includes protruding edges on the left and right sides of the box body and a grooved track on the washing machine. The grooved track has an inlet end and a termination end. The inlet end is used for inserting the protruding edges, and the termination end is used to abut the front end of the protruding edges.

[0008] Furthermore, the inlet end is shaped like a trumpet.

[0009] Furthermore, the top surface of the washing machine is connected to a top cover by fasteners.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving structure includes a central rod disposed on the rear side of the box body, a disc body sleeved on the central rod, the front side of the disc body being connected to the rear side of the box body via an elastic element, a nut being threaded onto the central rod, the nut abutting against the rear side of the disc body, and multiple connecting rods pivotally connected to the periphery of the disc body, the connecting rods being pivotally connected to the plug-in component.

[0011] Furthermore, a limiting part is provided on the front side of the disc body. When the limiting part abuts against the rear side of the box body, the plug is inserted into the socket.

[0012] Furthermore, the connectors are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the rear side of the box body.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By setting guide structures on the left and right sides of the detergent dispenser body and slidingly connecting it to the washing machine, smooth movement during installation is ensured. By setting at least two plug-in parts on the rear side of the detergent dispenser body, which are uniformly adjusted by the drive structure, multi-point synchronous plugging and unplugging can be achieved. On the one hand, multi-point synchronous plugging and unplugging enhances the stability of the detergent dispenser installed in the washing machine. On the other hand, multi-point synchronous plugging and unplugging simplifies the operation steps, enabling quick installation and removal of the detergent dispenser and improving convenience.

[0014] 2. The cooperation between the convex edge and the grooved track provides a clear installation path and limit, allowing the detergent dispenser to slide accurately into the predetermined position. The termination end effectively prevents the detergent dispenser from being over-inserted, ensuring the alignment accuracy of the connector and the socket.

[0015] 3. Setting the entrance end of the grooved track into a trumpet shape can guide and accommodate the insertion of the convex edge, allowing for smooth insertion even if there is a slight deviation in the initial installation position, thus improving the convenience of installation and user experience.

[0016] 4. The drive structure adopts a linkage design of a central rod, disc, elastic element, nut, and connecting rod. Rotating the nut drives the disc to move back and forth, which in turn drives all the plug-in parts to extend and retract synchronously via the connecting rod. This structure is compact, easy to operate, and can achieve multi-point synchronous locking and unlocking with high reliability.

[0017] 5. The setting of the limiting part not only clarifies the full insertion position of the connector, but also serves as the maximum compression limit of the elastic element, preventing plastic deformation or damage to the elastic element caused by excessive tightening of the nut, thus extending the service life of the elastic element.

[0018] 6. Symmetrical connectors are installed on the left and right sides of the rear side of the box body, which can achieve balanced force locking on both sides, further improving installation stability and reliability. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Example: See Figure 1 , Figure 6 or Figure 7 A removable detergent dispenser for a washing machine includes a dispenser body 10. The dispenser body 10 is injection molded from plastic and has an internal receiving space 11 for accommodating a dispensing box 20. The dispensing box 20 has several cavities for accommodating detergent.

[0023] See Figure 5 and Figure 7 The bottom of the box body 10 is provided with a water outlet 12, which is connected to the outer drum inside the washing machine 40 through a drain pipe 121.

[0024] See Figure 6 and Figure 8 The rear side of the box body 10 is provided with a water inlet 13, which is used to connect to the water inlet pipe 131. The water inlet pipe 131 and the drain pipe 121 are usually made of plastic hoses.

[0025] During the washing process, tap water enters the body 10 of the box body through the inlet pipe 131 and the inlet 13 in sequence. The tap water inside the body 10 mixes with the detergent and then enters the outer drum through the outlet 12 and the drain pipe 121 in sequence.

[0026] See Figure 8 The box body 10 has guide structures on its left and right sides. Specifically, the guide structures include protruding edges 14 on the left and right sides of the box body 10, and the protruding edges 14 are integral with the box body 10; see corresponding... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The washing machine 40 is provided with a grooved track 42 for fitting the protruding edge 14. The grooved track 42 has an inlet end 421 for easy insertion of the protruding edge 14. The inlet end 421 is preferably flared to facilitate insertion. The end of the grooved track 42 is a termination end 422. When the protruding edge 14 slides in and abuts against the termination end 422, the box body 10 reaches the installation position.

[0027] See Figure 8At least two connectors 30 are slidably connected to the rear side of the box body 10. In this embodiment, preferably, one connector 30 is symmetrically provided on each of the left and right sides of the rear side of the box body 10. The connector 30 is a rod structure, and a sliding groove 15 is provided on the rear side of the box body 10, with the connector 30 slidingly engaging with the sliding groove 15. When the box body 10 slides to the installation position via the guide structure, see... Figure 2 The socket 43 on the washing machine 40 corresponds to the connector 30, and the socket 43 is used to connect and cooperate with the connector 30.

[0028] See Figure 2 and Figure 8 The rear side of the box body 10 is also provided with a drive structure 50, which is used to synchronously drive all the plug-in parts 30 to insert or withdraw from the socket 43. The drive structure 50 includes a central rod 51 fixedly installed (e.g., integrally injection molded) on the rear side of the box body 10. A disc 52 is sleeved on the central rod 51, and the disc 52 can slide along the axial direction of the central rod 51. An elastic element 53 is provided on the front side of the disc 52. The elastic element 53 is a compression spring sleeved on the central rod 51. One end of the compression spring abuts against the front side of the disc 52, and the other end of the compression spring abuts against the rear side of the box body 10. The elastic force of the compression spring is used to push the disc 52 to move away from the box body 10. The end of the central rod 51 is threaded and threadedly connected to a nut 54, which abuts against the rear side of the disc 52. Around the periphery of the disc body 52, a number of connecting rods 55 are pivotally connected, the number of connecting rods 55 being equal to the number of plug-in pieces 30, and the other end of each connecting rod 55 is pivotally connected to a corresponding plug-in piece 30 via a pivot.

[0029] In addition, see Figure 8 A limiting part 521 is provided on the front side of the tray 52, and the limiting part 521 is an integral structure with the tray 52. ​​When the nut 54 is tightened, the nut 54 pushes the tray 52 forward until the limiting part 521 abuts against the rear side wall of the box body 10. At this time, the plug 30 is just fully inserted into the socket 43 of the washing machine 40, thus locking it in place. At this time, the elastic member 53 is in a state of maximum compression, and the limiting part 521 effectively prevents the elastic member 53 from being over-compressed and damaged.

[0030] See Figure 1 The top surface of the washing machine 40 is secured to a top cover 41 by fasteners (such as screws). When it is necessary to remove the detergent dispenser, simply remove the top cover 41.

[0031] The working principle is as follows: When installing the detergent dispenser: (1) Align the protruding edges 14 on both sides of the dispenser body 10 with the inlet end 421 of the grooved track 42 and insert it. Then push the dispenser body 10 forward until the protruding edges 14 slide to the end end 422 of the grooved track 42. At this time, the connector 30 is aligned with the insertion hole 43. (2) Tighten the nut 54. The nut 54 pushes the disc 52 to move forward against the elastic force of the elastic element 53. The disc 52 pushes the connectors 30 on both sides to extend outward through the connecting rod 55. When the limiting part 521 of the disc 52 contacts the rear wall of the dispenser body 10, the connector 30 is inserted into the insertion hole 43 and locked. (3) Install the water inlet pipe 131 to the water inlet 13 of the dispenser body 10, install the drain pipe 121 inside the washing machine 40 to the water outlet 12 of the dispenser body 10, and install the top cover 41 on the top surface of the washing machine 40.

[0032] When disassembling the detergent dispenser: (1) Remove the top cover 41 from the top surface of the washing machine 40, and remove the inlet pipe 131 and drain pipe 121 from the dispenser body 10. (2) Loosen the nut 54 in the reverse direction. Under the elastic force of the elastic element 53, the disc 52 moves backward. The disc 52 removes the connector 30 from the socket 43 through the connecting rod 55, thus unlocking the dispenser. (3) Slide the dispenser body 10 backward so that it is removed from the groove track 42 from the inlet end 421, so that the washing machine dispenser is removed from the washing machine 40.

[0033] Based on the above working principle, it can be seen that this embodiment has the following advantages: First, by setting guide structures on the left and right sides of the detergent dispenser body 10 and sliding them with the washing machine 40, smooth movement during installation is ensured. By setting at least two plug-in parts 30 on the rear side of the detergent dispenser body 10 and adjusting them uniformly by the drive structure 50, multi-point synchronous plugging and unplugging can be achieved. On the one hand, multi-point synchronous plugging and unplugging enhances the stability of the detergent dispenser installed in the washing machine 40. On the other hand, multi-point synchronous plugging and unplugging simplifies the operation steps, enabling quick installation and removal of the detergent dispenser and improving convenience.

[0034] Secondly, the cooperation between the protruding edge 14 and the grooved track 42 provides a clear installation path and limit, allowing the detergent dispenser to slide accurately into the predetermined position. The termination end 422 effectively prevents the detergent dispenser from being over-inserted, ensuring the alignment accuracy between the connector 30 and the socket 43.

[0035] Third, setting the inlet end 421 of the grooved track 42 to a flared shape can guide and correct the insertion of the protruding edge 14, so that it can be smoothly inserted even if there is a slight deviation in the initial installation position, thus improving the convenience of installation and user experience.

[0036] Fourth, the drive structure 50 adopts a linkage design of center rod 51, disc 52, elastic element 53, nut 54 and connecting rod 55. By rotating nut 54, the disc 52 can be driven to move back and forth, which in turn drives all the plug-in parts 30 to extend and retract synchronously through connecting rod 55. This structure is compact, easy to operate, can achieve multi-point synchronous locking and unlocking, and has high reliability.

[0037] Fifth, the setting of the limiting part 521, on the one hand, clarifies the fully inserted position of the plug 30, and on the other hand, it also serves as the maximum compression limit of the elastic element 53, preventing the elastic element 53 from being plastically deformed or damaged due to excessive tightening of the nut 54, thus extending the service life of the elastic element 53.

[0038] Sixth, symmetrical connectors 30 are provided on the left and right sides of the rear side of the box body 10, which can achieve balanced force locking on both sides, further improving installation stability and reliability.

[0039] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
