DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, and the detailed description in the specific implementation method should be understood as an explanation of the purpose of this application and should not be regarded as an improper restriction on this application.

[0049] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", "back", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the embodiments of the present application.

[0050] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the technical features being referred to. Therefore, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features; and in the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0051] An embodiment of the present application provides a clothing processing device, as shown in Figures 1 to 9, which includes a workbench 10, a delivery module and a water inlet valve 13.

[0052] It should be noted that the specific type of clothing processing equipment is not limited, and it can be a pulsator washing machine, a washer-dryer, etc., and there is no restriction here.

[0053] In some embodiments, the laundry processing device further comprises a drum assembly and a housing. The drum assembly is used to provide space for laundry and laundry processing. For example, in some embodiments, the drum assembly comprises an outer tub and an inner tub, wherein the outer tub is mounted on the outside of the inner tub. The outer tub is used to hold water required for laundry washing, and the inner tub is used to hold laundry. In this embodiment, the inner tub holds water through the outer tub, and the inner tub can also be referred to as a perforated inner tub. In other embodiments, the drum assembly comprises only an inner tub, which holds water through the inner tub itself. In other words, in this embodiment, the inner tub can hold both laundry and water. In this case, the inner tub can be referred to as a non-perforated inner tub.

[0054] The drum assembly is disposed within the housing, and a workbench 10 is disposed at the top of the housing. The workbench 10 has a clothing loading port 10a. The drum assembly has a clothing processing chamber, and the top side of the drum assembly has an opening. Clothes to be washed can be placed into the clothing processing chamber from the top side through the clothing loading port 10a and the opening. Washed clothes can also be removed from the clothing processing chamber through the opening and the clothing loading port 10a.

[0055] The dispensing module includes a detergent box 11 and a water filling box 12. The detergent box 11 has a receiving cavity 11a for storing detergent.

[0056] The water inlet valve 13 is used to inject water into the water injection box 12 . Water from an external water source (eg, tap water) can be injected into the barrel assembly through the water injection box 12 via the water inlet valve 13 .

[0057] It is understandable that the dispensing module can dispense detergent into the clothing processing chamber automatically or manually.

[0058] For example, in some embodiments, referring to FIG. 7 , the laundry processing apparatus further includes a hand dispenser 17. The water filling box 12 has a water outlet cavity 12a. When water from an external water source flows through the water filling box 12, it enters the laundry processing chamber through the water outlet cavity 12a to soak and wash the laundry. The water outlet cavity 12a has a pull-out opening 12b along the front side of the laundry processing apparatus. The hand dispenser 17 is retractably disposed within the water outlet cavity 12a and blocks the pull-out opening 12b. In this manner, the user can manually dispense detergent into the hand dispenser 17 by pulling out the hand dispenser 17, and the detergent then enters the laundry processing chamber. In this case, the detergent stored in the detergent box 11 is a fluid detergent such as softener or laundry liquid. The laundry processing apparatus can automatically draw a fixed amount of detergent from the accommodating cavity 11a and dispense it into the laundry processing chamber.

[0059] In this way, the water filling box 12 provides a storage space for the hand-drop box 17, so that the hand-drop box 17 has sufficient installation space without increasing the size of the clothing processing device in the left and right directions. At the same time, the hand-drop box 17 and the detergent box 11 will not interfere with each other during installation, and the installation reliability is strong. In this way, in this embodiment, the same clothing processing device can have both automatic and manual dispensing functions, and can realize the combined dispensing of multiple detergents to improve the washing effect.

[0060] It is understandable that the detergent put into the hand-drop box 17 can be a granular substance such as washing powder, or a fluid substance such as laundry liquid, softener, disinfectant, etc., and of course, it can also be laundry beads, etc.

[0061] Of course, in other embodiments, a manual dispensing structure may also be provided on the detergent box 11. The detergent box 11 can be used to automatically extract detergent and dispense it into the clothing processing chamber, and detergent can also be manually dispensed into the clothing processing chamber through the manual dispensing structure on the detergent box 11.

[0062] The detergent box 11 and the water injection box 12 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction of the clothes processing device. The area where the detergent box 11 and the water injection box 12 are located is the first area A, and the water inlet valve 13 is arranged on the front side or the rear side of the first area A.

[0063] That is to say, the detergent box 11 is located on the left or right side of the water filling box 12, and the water inlet valve 13 is located on the front or rear side of the first area A. For example, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the detergent box 11 is located on the left side of the water filling box 12, and the water inlet valve 13 is located on the rear side of the area where the detergent box 11 and the water filling box 12 are located, that is, the water inlet valve 13 will not be located on the left or right side of the area where the detergent box 11 and the water filling box 12 are located, which helps to reduce the size of the clothing processing device in the left and right directions. The detergent box 11 and the water filling box 12 have sufficient installation space in the left and right directions of the clothing processing device, which is convenient for increasing the capacity of the detergent box 11 and the water filling box 12.

[0064] In the related art, the detergent box, water injection box, and water inlet valve are arranged side by side along the left and right directions of the clothing processing device. The lateral size of the clothing processing device is large, and the detergent box, water injection box, and water inlet valve are limited by the installation space and are prone to interference. Specifically, when the detergent box is installed between the water injection box and the water inlet valve, the water inlet valve needs to bypass the detergent box when connecting to the water injection box through a pipeline, which requires a long pipeline and is prone to interference with the detergent box. The user is also easily interfered with by the water inlet valve when operating the detergent box; when the water inlet valve is installed between the water injection box and the detergent box, if the detergent in the detergent box needs to be poured into the clothing processing chamber through the water injection box, it needs to pass through a long path, and the water inlet valve is set close to the middle part of the clothing processing device, which increases the inconvenience of the user operating the detergent box or the water injection box; when the water injection box is set between the water inlet valve and the detergent box, the user is also easily interfered with by the water inlet valve when operating the detergent box or the water injection box, affecting the convenience of operation.

[0065] Therefore, in the laundry processing apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present application, the water inlet valve 13 is arranged on either side of the front-to-back direction of the first area A. When the user operates the detergent box 11 and the water filling box 12, the water inlet valve 13 located in the front-to-back direction will not interfere with the user, and the operation is more convenient and smooth. While reducing the cross-interference between the pipeline of the water inlet valve 13 and the detergent box 11 and the water filling box 12, the pipeline of the water inlet valve 13 can also be shorter, thereby reducing the risk of pipeline leakage and enhancing the waterproof performance. Furthermore, when the water inlet valve 13 is arranged on the rear side of the first area A, the rear-placed water inlet valve 13 is easier to maintain and replace, reducing the probability of frequent disassembly of the detergent box 11 and the water filling box 12 causing interference to the water inlet valve 13, and also facilitating the wiring operation between the water inlet valve 13 and the power supply. The water filling box 12, the water inlet valve 13, and the detergent box 11 are not arranged side by side in the left-to-right direction, which can reduce the size of the laundry processing apparatus in the left-to-right direction and increase the compactness of the layout of the laundry processing apparatus.

[0066] In some embodiments, the water inlet valve 13 does not extend beyond any side of the first area A along the left-right direction of the laundry treating apparatus.

[0067] That is to say, when the water filling box 12 is located on the right side of the detergent box 11, in the left and right directions of the clothes processing device, the leftmost end of the water inlet valve 13 does not exceed the leftmost end of the detergent box 11, and the rightmost end of the water inlet valve 13 does not exceed the rightmost end of the water filling box 12. The water inlet valve 13 is located between the leftmost end of the detergent box 11 and the rightmost end of the water filling box 12.

[0068] When the water filling box 12 is located to the left of the detergent box 11, in the left-right direction of the clothes processing apparatus, the leftmost end of the water inlet valve 13 does not exceed the leftmost end of the water filling box 12, and the rightmost end of the water inlet valve 13 does not exceed the rightmost end of the detergent box 11. The water inlet valve 13 is located between the leftmost end of the water filling box 12 and the rightmost end of the detergent box 11.

[0069] That is to say, in the installation space occupied by the water filling box 12, the detergent box 11, and the water inlet valve 13, the size of this installation space along the left-right direction is the size L of the first area A along the left-right direction, that is, the maximum distance between the detergent box 11 and the water filling box 12 along the left-right direction. For example, please refer to Figure 5. The size L of the first area A along the left-right direction is the distance between the leftmost end of the detergent box 11 along the left-right direction and the rightmost end of the water filling box 12 along the left-right direction. The water inlet valve 13 does not increase the left-right dimensions of the water filling box 12, the detergent box 11, and the water inlet valve 13 when they are installed. The size of the clothing processing device along the left-right direction is smaller, and the structure is more compact.

[0070] In some embodiments, the water inlet valve 13 is disposed at the rear side of the water filling box 12 and does not extend beyond any side of the water filling box 12 along the left and right directions.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 5. In the left and right directions of the clothes processing equipment, the leftmost end of the water inlet valve 13 does not exceed the leftmost end of the water filling box 12, and the rightmost end of the water inlet valve 13 does not exceed the rightmost end of the water filling box 12. The water inlet valve 13 is arranged between the leftmost end and the rightmost end of the water filling box 12. In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient to connect the water inlet valve 13 and the water filling box 12 through a shorter pipe. On the other hand, it can also increase the size of the detergent box 11 in the front and rear directions without interfering with the water inlet valve 13, so that the detergent box 11 can store more detergent, which is convenient for washing clothes.

[0072] There is no limit to the way the delivery module can achieve automatic delivery.

[0073] In some embodiments, the dispensing module includes a dispensing pump 14 and a mounting shell 15. The dispensing pump 14 is used to suck the detergent in the accommodating chamber 11a and dispense it into the water filling box 12. The detergent box 11 is arranged in the mounting shell 15. The dispensing pump 14 is arranged outside the mounting shell 15 and is located on the rear side of the mounting shell 15.

[0074] Specifically, the dosing pump 14 can generate negative pressure, so that the detergent in the accommodating chamber 11a enters the dosing pump 14 under the action of negative pressure, and the dosing pump 14 then dispenses the detergent into the water injection box 12, and the incoming water flow in the water injection box 12 carries the detergent into the clothing processing chamber.

[0075] In this embodiment, detergent is injected into the clothing processing chamber through the water injection box 12, and the incoming water flow flushes the detergent to promote the dissolution and foaming of the detergent and improve the cleaning effect.

[0076] In this embodiment, detergent is added in an automatic manner. When clothes need to be washed or rinsed for the last time, sufficient detergent can be added automatically and quantitatively without the need for manual operation by the user, thereby increasing the user's experience. In addition, it can effectively avoid multiple rinsing caused by manual addition of too much detergent, reduce the chance of wasting water resources and detergent, and reduce the chance of insufficient washing of clothes due to insufficient manual addition of detergent, thereby increasing the washing effect and increasing the convenience of using the clothing processing equipment.

[0077] The dispensing pump 14 is arranged on the outside of the mounting shell 15, which increases the convenience of operation when the user cleans or disassembles the detergent box 11; the dispensing pump 14 is located on the rear side of the mounting shell 15, that is, the dispensing pump 14 will not increase the size of the clothing processing device in the left and right directions, making the structural layout of the clothing processing device more compact, and the dispensing pump 14 is connected to the water injection box 12 from the rear side to the front side, and will not intersect with the detergent box 11. When the dispensing pump 14 dispenses the sucked detergent into the water injection box 12, it will not interfere with the detergent box 11, and the reliability of the clothing processing device is high.

[0078] The specific structure of the mounting case 15 is not limited.

[0079] In some embodiments, the mounting shell 15 includes a first shell portion 151 and a second shell portion 152. The first shell portion 151 and the water filling box 12 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction. That is, the first shell portion 151 is located on the left or right side of the water filling box 12. For example, the first shell portion 151 is located on the left side of the water filling box 12. Specifically, the detergent box 11 is arranged in the first shell portion 151.

[0080] The rear side of the first shell 151 extends beyond the rear side of the water filling box 12, that is, in the front-to-back direction of the clothing processing device, the rearmost end of the first shell 151 extends beyond the rearmost end of the water filling box 12, and the extended dimension of the first shell 151 in the front-to-back direction exceeds the extended dimension of the water filling box 12 in the front-to-back direction.

[0081] The second shell 152 extends from the rear end of the first shell 151 to the rear side of the water filling box 12, and the water inlet valve 13 is located on the right side of the second shell 152. Please refer to Figures 1 to 6. The water inlet valve 13 is located on the right side of the second shell 152. The second shell 152 makes full use of the space on the rear side of the water filling box 12 and the right side of the water inlet valve 13 to extend, so that the space utilization rate of the clothing processing equipment is high. Without increasing the size of the clothing processing equipment in the left and right directions, the size of the clothing processing equipment in the front and back directions will not be too large, and the structure is compact.

[0082] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 and 3, the rear side wall of the second shell 152 is partially recessed inward to form an escape space 152a, and the delivery pump 14 is arranged in the escape space 152a. In the plane projection perpendicular to the height direction of the clothing processing device, the delivery pump 14 does not exceed the edge of the rear part of the second shell 152 in the front-to-back direction.

[0083] In this embodiment, the avoidance space 152a formed by the second shell 152 is used to provide installation space for the delivery pump 14, further improving the space utilization rate of the clothing processing equipment. The rear end of the delivery pump 14 does not exceed the rear end of the second shell 152. The installation of the delivery pump 14 neither increases the size of the clothing processing equipment in the left and right directions nor increases the size of the clothing processing equipment in the front and back directions, making the structural layout of the clothing processing equipment more reasonable and reliable.

[0084] In some embodiments, the water filling box 12 has a first interface on the rear side wall facing the second shell 152, and the dosing pump 14 has a pump outlet. The pump outlet of the dosing pump 14 is connected to the first interface for pumping detergent into the water filling box 12 through the first interface.

[0085] Specifically, the detergent is sucked from the detergent box 11 by the dosing pump 14 and injected into the water injection box 12 through the pump outlet and the first interface, and then injected into the clothing processing chamber through the water injection box 12 along with the inlet water flow.

[0086] The first interface is arranged toward the rear side wall of the second shell portion 152 , which can shorten the docking distance between the dosing pump 14 and the water filling box 12 , making it easier for the dosing pump 14 to quickly inject detergent into the water filling box 12 .

[0087] In some embodiments, the mounting shell 15 and the water filling box 12 are separate structures.

[0088] In this way, it is convenient to install the installation shell 15 and the water injection box 12 in the clothes processing device, and it is also convenient to install and remove the detergent box 11 in the installation shell 15, thereby increasing the convenience of operation.

[0089] Of course, in other embodiments, at least a portion of the mounting shell 15 and a portion of the water filling box 12 are an integrated structure, which can save assembly steps and make the installation efficiency of the clothing processing device higher.

[0090] In some embodiments, the dispensing module includes a pull-out structure 16, and the front side of the mounting shell 15 has a first opening 15a. At least a portion of the pull-out structure 16 can be pulled out of the mounting shell 15 and can be pulled out to the outside of the mounting shell 15 through the first opening 15a. The detergent box 11 can be detachably arranged on the pull-out structure 16.

[0091] Specifically, when installing the detergent box 11, first pull out at least a portion of the pull-out structure 16 from the mounting shell 15 through the first opening 15a, then the user places the detergent box 11 into the pull-out structure 16, and finally pushes the pull-out structure 16 to install the detergent box 11 into the mounting shell 15.

[0092] In this way, the detergent box 11 can be loaded into or taken out of the mounting shell 15 through the pull-out structure 16. On the one hand, it is convenient to disassemble and assemble, and it is convenient to replenish detergent and clean the detergent box 11. On the other hand, when the detergent box 11 is loaded into or pulled out of the mounting shell 15, the pull-out structure 16 can also reduce the probability of collision between the detergent box 11 and the mounting shell 15, making the loading and unloading of the detergent box 11 more stable. In addition, the pull-out structure 16 can also provide positioning support and protection for the detergent box 11. The detergent box 11 can be positioned in the mounting shell 15 by the pull-out structure 16 without moving, and the installation stability is good.

[0093] For example, referring to FIG. 14 , the mounting shell 15 has a drawer space 15 b therein, the front side of the drawer space 15 b has a first opening 15 a , and at least a portion of the drawer structure 16 is drawably disposed in the drawer space 15 b .

[0094] The specific structure of the drawer structure 16 is not limited.

[0095] In some examples, please refer to Figures 8 and 9. The pull-out structure 16 includes an end plate 161 and a pull-out box 162. The end plate 161 is located on the front side of the detergent box 11. The pull-out box 162 has an opening groove 162a. The lower end of the detergent box 11 shrinks toward the interior of the detergent box 11 along the opposite sides in the left and right directions to form a shrinkage portion 114, and the shrinkage portion 114 is embedded in the opening groove 162a.

[0096] It can be understood that the user can pull the pull-out box 162 out of the mounting shell 15 through the first opening 15a by holding the end plate 161. When the user places the detergent box 11 on the pull-out structure 16, the contraction portion 114 cooperates with the opening groove 162a, making the cooperation between the detergent box 11 and the pull-out structure 16 more stable, reducing the probability of the detergent box 11 shaking or moving when being pushed into the mounting shell 15 through the pull-out structure 16, and improving the stability of the cooperation between the detergent box 11 and the pull-out structure 16.

[0097] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 11 , the projection of the detergent box 11 on the end plate 161 does not exceed the edge of the end plate 161 .

[0098] In this way, the detergent box 11 can have sufficient force support on the pull-out structure 16, and the detergent box 11 can be set more stably on the pull-out structure 16, reducing the probability of the detergent box 11 being unstable and shaking when being pulled and moved by the pull-out structure 16, and the cooperation between the pull-out structure 16 and the detergent box 11 is more reliable.

[0099] The docking method of the detergent box 11 and the dispensing pump 14 is not limited. For example, in some examples, a suction channel 152 b is provided in the mounting shell 15 , and the detergent box 11 is docked with the dispensing pump 14 through the suction channel 152 b.

[0100] Specifically, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 4 to 6, the detergent box 11 has a liquid outlet interface 11b, a suction channel 152b is formed in the second shell 152, the inlet 152c of the suction channel 152b is detachably connected to the liquid outlet interface 11b, the bottom wall of the suction channel 152b is provided with an outlet, the dosing pump 14 has a suction port 14a, the outlet is located above the suction port 14a and the two are connected along the height direction.

[0101] Specifically, when it is necessary to extract detergent, the inlet 152c of the suction channel 152b is connected to the liquid outlet interface 11b, and the dosing pump 14 generates a suction negative pressure. Under the action of the suction negative pressure, the detergent in the accommodating chamber 11a enters the suction channel 152b from the inlet 152c of the suction channel 152b through the liquid outlet interface 11b, and then flows to the suction port 14a of the dosing pump 14 through the outlet of the suction channel 152b. In this way, the dosing pump 14 can pump the sucked detergent into the water filling box 12 through the pump outlet; when it is not necessary to extract detergent, the liquid outlet interface 11b is separated from the inlet 152c of the suction channel 152b. In this way, when detergent needs to be added, the suction channel 152b provides a circulation path for the detergent, which facilitates the extraction of detergent by the dosing pump 14. When detergent does not need to be extracted, the liquid outlet interface 11b can be separated from the inlet 152c of the suction channel 152b, thereby reducing the probability of the detergent in the suction channel 152b flowing back to the detergent box 11 through the inlet 152c, making the addition of detergent simple and reliable.

[0102] The outlet of the suction flow channel 152b is located above the suction port 14a, which makes it easier for the delivery pump 14 to receive the detergent flowing out of the suction flow channel 152b and reduces the circulation resistance of the detergent.

[0103] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 5 , the bottom walls of the suction channels 152 b are located on the same horizontal plane.

[0104] In this way, the detergent flowing out through the liquid outlet port 11b can flow relatively smoothly and steadily to the suction port 14a of the dosing pump 14 when passing through the suction channel 152b, with low flow resistance and high working reliability of the clothing processing equipment.

[0105] The specific structure of the detergent box 11 is not limited.

[0106] In some embodiments, the detergent box 11 is provided with at least two mutually disconnected receiving chambers 11 a therein.

[0107] Specifically, multiple accommodating cavities 11a can accommodate the same or different detergents. The detergent box 11 can separate multiple spaces into multiple spaces to accommodate different types of detergents through its own structure. That is, there is no need to set up multiple storage tanks for storing detergents, which increases the convenience of using the detergent box 11.

[0108] It should be noted that the aforementioned mutually unconnected accommodating cavities 11a means that the detergents stored in the accommodating cavities 11a will not penetrate or contact each other, so as to ensure the quality of the detergents and the washing effect, reduce the probability of the detergents in each accommodating cavities 11a mixing, and reduce the waste and pollution of the detergents.

[0109] It is understandable that the type of detergent is not limited. For example, the detergent can be a liquid substance such as laundry detergent, softener, disinfectant, etc.

[0110] The number of the accommodating chambers 11a can be two or more. For example, in some embodiments, the number of the accommodating chambers 11a is two, one of which stores laundry detergent and the other stores softener. The two accommodating chambers 11a are not connected to each other.

[0111] The material of the detergent box 11 is not limited. For example, the detergent box 11 can be made of plastic material, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, etc.

[0112] The detergent box 11 may also be made of a light-transmitting material so that the detergent stored in the detergent box 11 is exposed to the user's field of vision. That is, the user can intuitively see the amount of detergent remaining in the detergent box 11 so that the user can replenish the detergent in time.

[0113] Of course, a detection element may be provided in the detergent box 11. When the detection element detects that the content of the detergent stored in the detergent box 11 is lower than a warning line, a prompt signal may be sent to the user to prompt the user to replenish the detergent.

[0114] Please refer to FIG. 8 , the detergent box 11 is provided with handle positions 111 on two opposite sides along the left and right directions.

[0115] Specifically, the user can take out or place the detergent box 11 through the handle positions 111 on the left and right sides. The detergent box 11 is convenient to take out and put, and the handle positions 111 on both sides can also make the user more stable when lifting the detergent box 11.

[0116] In the related art, the detergent box used to store detergent in the automatic dispensing device is prone to residual detergent during use, but the detergent box is not easy to clean. The long-term accumulation of residual detergent will cause pollution to other detergents in the detergent box, affecting the user experience.

[0117] The laundry processing device provided in the embodiment of the present application allows the user to extract the detergent box 11 through the handle positions 111 on both sides to clean the detergent box 11, thereby increasing the cleanliness of the detergent box 11. After cleaning, different types of detergents can be replenished at the same time. The detergent box 11 is easy to take and put, and the handle positions 111 on both sides can increase stability when the user takes and puts the detergent box 11, thereby reducing the chance of detergent in the accommodating cavity 11a leaking due to shaking when the user takes and puts the detergent box 11. In addition, a single detergent box 11 can store different types of detergents separately at the same time, thereby reducing the chance of mixing or cross-infection of different types of detergents. There is no need to set up multiple storage tanks for storing detergents. The structure of the detergent box 11 is simpler and more compact, and the laundry processing device has high working reliability.

[0118] In an embodiment in which a pull-out structure 16 is provided, the end plate 161 is provided on the front side of the detergent box 11, and the handle positions 111 are provided at both ends of the detergent box 11 in the left and right directions. In this way, when the user pushes the detergent box 11 into or pulls out the mounting shell 15 through the pull-out structure 16, the end plate 161 and the handle positions 111 will not interfere with each other, thereby increasing the reliability of the cooperation between the pull-out structure 16 and the detergent box 11.

[0119] The specific structure of the handle position 111 is not limited.

[0120] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8 , the top of the detergent box 11 has ribs 111 on the edges of two opposite sides along the left and right directions, and the ribs 111 form handle positions 111 .

[0121] The handle position 111 is formed on the left and right edges of the top of the detergent box 11, so that the user can lift and place the detergent box 11 along the top and bottom directions, and when replenishing the detergent in each receiving cavity 11a or cleaning the receiving cavity 11a, the ribs 111 at the edge will not interfere, the ribs 111 do not need to take up too much space, and the detergent box 11 has a compact structure and can store enough detergent.

[0122] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8 to FIG. 11 , the rib 111 extends along the front-to-back direction of the detergent box 11 .

[0123] In this way, the size of the detergent box 11 in the left-right direction can be reduced, making the structure of the detergent box 11 more compact. The ribs 111 extend in the front-to-back direction. When the user lifts or places the detergent box 11 through the ribs 111, the ribs 111 can form a sufficient gripping area. The user and the ribs 111 have sufficient contact area to bear the weight of the detergent box 11, and the detergent box 11 can be taken and placed more smoothly.

[0124] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 11 , a length L1 of the rib 111 along the front-to-back direction is less than a length L2 of the detergent box 11 along the front-to-back direction, that is, L1 ≤ L2, and the length L1 of the rib 111 along the front-to-back direction is not less than 1 / 4 of the length L2 of the detergent box 11 along the front-to-back direction. In other words, a ratio of the length L1 of the rib 111 along the front-to-back direction to the length L2 of the detergent box 11 along the front-to-back direction is not less than 0.25, that is, L1 = L2*(0.25-1), for example, 0.25, 0.3, 0.33, 0.4, 0.44, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.66, 0.7, 0.77, 0.8, 0.88, 0.9, 0.99, 1.

[0125] In this embodiment, the length of the rib 111 along the front-to-back direction is less than the length of the detergent box 11 along the front-to-back direction. That is, in the front-to-back direction of the detergent box 11, the rib 111 does not extend out of the detergent box 11, which can make the overall structure of the detergent box 11 more compact. The ratio of the length of the rib 111 along the front-to-back direction to the length of the detergent box 11 along the front-to-back direction is appropriately set. The extension length of the rib 111 in the front-to-back direction is neither too large nor too small. While forming a sufficient gripping area, the size of the detergent box 11 along the front-to-back direction can also be made more reasonable.

[0126] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8 , the detergent box 11 includes first side walls 112 at opposite ends in the left and right directions. Part of the first side wall 112 is recessed inward to form a recessed area 112 a , and the handle 111 is disposed at the top of the recessed area 112 a .

[0127] In this way, the pressure on the user when carrying the detergent box 11 can be reduced, the comfort and stability of the user when carrying the detergent box 11 can be improved, and the chance of the detergent box 11 accidentally falling due to hand slipping when the user is carrying the detergent box 11 can be reduced. The design of the recessed area 112a can also save space in the detergent box 11, so that the handle position 111 can be better integrated into the structure of the detergent box 11, thereby not excessively increasing the overall volume of the detergent box 11. The recessed area 112a can also help the user identify the position of the handle position 111, facilitate correct use, and increase the appearance of the detergent box 11, thereby enhancing the user's experience.

[0128] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8 and FIG. 11 , in a plane projection perpendicular to the height direction of the detergent box 11 , the left-right edges of the handle portion 111 do not exceed the left-right edges of the non-recessed area of ​​the first side wall 112 .

[0129] In this way, the probability of the handle 111 being damaged by colliding with other objects when the user carries the detergent box 11 can be reduced, thereby improving the service life of the handle 111. In addition, the detergent box 11 has no protruding structure and can better cooperate with other components, thereby increasing the durability and compactness of the detergent box 11.

[0130] The manner in which the dosing pump 14 sucks the detergent is not limited.

[0131] For example, in some embodiments, referring to Figures 12 to 15, the clothing processing device includes a one-way valve 18, which is arranged in the mounting shell 15 and located at the inlet 152c of the suction channel 152b. The one-way valve 18 is detachably docked with the liquid outlet interface 11b, and is used to close the inlet 152c of the suction channel 152b when separated from the detergent box 11, or, when docked with the detergent box 11, connect the inlet 152c of the suction channel 152b and the liquid outlet interface 11b, and the liquid pump 14 sucks the detergent in the detergent box 11 through the suction channel 152b.

[0132] It can be understood that in this embodiment, when the detergent box 11 is at least partially pulled out of the mounting shell 15 through the first opening 15a by the pulling structure 16, the detergent box 11 can be separated from the one-way valve 18, and when the detergent box 11 is pushed into the mounting shell 15 through the first opening 15a, the detergent box 11 can be docked with the one-way valve 18.

[0133] Specifically, after the detergent box 11 is installed in the installation shell 15, the one-way valve 18 can connect the inlet 152c of the suction flow channel 152b and the liquid outlet interface 11b, and the dosing pump 14 generates a suction negative pressure, thereby providing power for the detergent in the accommodating chamber 11a to flow toward the liquid outlet interface 11b. Under the action of negative pressure, the detergent flows through the liquid outlet interface 11b, the one-way valve 18, and the suction flow channel 152b to the dosing pump 14. When enough detergent flows out of the detergent box 11, the dosing The dosing pump 14 cancels the suction negative pressure and draws out the detergent box 11 through the first opening 15a to separate the detergent box 11 from the one-way valve 18. At this time, the detergent in the accommodating chamber 11a loses the power to flow toward the liquid outlet interface 11b. The one-way valve 18 separates from the liquid outlet interface 11b and closes the inlet 152c of the suction channel 152b. In this way, the detergent in the suction channel 152b will not flow back into the detergent box 11 through the inlet 152c and can continue to flow to the dosing pump 14.

[0134] In this embodiment, the detergent box 11 is separated from and connected to the one-way valve 18 by pulling it out of the mounting shell 15, thereby realizing communication between the liquid outlet interface 11b and the suction flow channel 152b. No additional force-applying component is required to trigger the one-way valve 18. The detergent is simply and conveniently dispensed, and the structure of the clothing treatment device is simpler and more compact. The one-way valve 18 is disposed in the mounting shell 15, which reduces the probability that the one-way valve 18 is disposed in the detergent box 11, making it inconvenient to take the detergent box 11. The structure of the detergent box 11 is simpler and more convenient to take and place. The detergent box 11 does not require additional installation space for the one-way valve 18. The detergent box 11 has sufficient capacity to accommodate detergent. The dispensing pump 14 is connected to the one-way valve 18 through the suction flow channel 152b, which can reduce the probability of interference between the dispensing pump 14 and the one-way valve 18 when they are directly docked, making the detergent dispensing more reliable and the working reliability of the clothing treatment device strong.

[0135] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 14 and 15, the side of the pulling space 15b away from the first opening 15a has a third side wall 153, the upper portion of the third side wall 153 has a through hole 152c, a portion of the suction channel 152b and the pulling space 15b are located on opposite sides of the third side wall 153, the through hole 152c forms an inlet 152c of the suction channel 152b, and the one-way valve 18 is arranged at the through hole 152c.

[0136] When it is necessary to extract detergent, the delivery pump 14 generates a suction negative pressure. At this time, the through hole 152c is connected to the liquid outlet interface 11b, and the detergent in the accommodating chamber 11a enters the suction channel 152b through the liquid outlet interface 11b, the one-way valve 18, and the through hole 152c. A part of the suction channel 152b and the pulling space 15b are located on opposite sides of the third side wall 153. In this way, the detergent entering the suction channel 152b through the through hole 152c can be kept unchanged. The flow direction is convenient for the detergent to enter the suction channel 152b smoothly, the flow resistance of the detergent when entering the suction channel 152b is reduced, and the reliability of the detergent delivery is increased. When the detergent extraction is completed, the detergent box 11 is separated from the one-way valve 18, and the one-way valve 18 can rely on its own structure to close the through hole 152c to prevent the liquid in the suction channel 152b from flowing back.

[0137] The specific structure of the one-way valve 18 is not limited.

[0138] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 12 to FIG. 15 , the one-way valve 18 includes a valve body 181 , a piston rod 182 , and an elastic member 183 .

[0139] The valve body 181 is cylindrical and is arranged on the side of the third side wall 153 facing the drawing space 15b and covers around the through hole 152c. The piston rod 182 can slidably pass through the valve body 181. The first end of the piston rod 182 protrudes from the side of the valve body 181 facing the detergent box 11 in the front-to-back direction. The second end of the piston rod 182 passes through the through hole 152c and is located in the suction flow channel 152b. The second end of the piston rod 182 has a sealing flange 182a. The elastic member 183 is used to drive the piston rod 182 to return to its initial position. When the piston rod 182 is in the initial position, the sealing flange 182a closes the through hole 152c under the action of the elastic member 183.

[0140] It should be noted that the initial position refers to the relatively stable position of the piston rod 182 before being driven by an external force.

[0141] Specifically, when the detergent box 11 is pushed into the drawing space 15b and installed, the first end of the piston rod 182 docks with the detergent box 11, and the piston rod 182 moves toward the direction close to the suction flow channel 152b under the action of the thrust. At this time, the elastic member 183 is compressed and deformed, and the sealing flange 182a also moves away from the through hole 152c as the piston rod 182 moves, and the sealing effect on the through hole 152c fails. That is, the sealing state of the sealing flange 182a on the inlet 152c of the suction flow channel 152b fails, and the liquid outlet interface 11b is connected to the inlet 152c of the suction flow channel 152b. When the dosing pump 14 generates a suction negative pressure, the detergent in the detergent box 11 can be discharged under the negative pressure. The liquid flows down through the liquid outlet interface 11b, the through hole 152c, and the suction channel 152b to the dosing pump 14. When enough detergent flows out of the detergent box 11, the dosing pump 14 cancels the suction negative pressure, and the detergent in the detergent box 11 loses the power to move toward the liquid outlet interface 11b, and at least part of the detergent box 11 is pulled out from the pulling space 15b. The piston rod 182 loses the driving force, and the elastic member 183 recovers its deformation and drives the piston rod 182 to move in the direction away from the suction channel 152b to the sealing flange 182a to close the through hole 152c. In this way, the liquid in the suction channel 152b will not flow back through the through hole 152c and can continue to flow toward the dosing pump 14.

[0142] The manner of docking the detergent box 11 and the one-way valve 18 is not limited.

[0143] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 10 and 13, the detergent box 11 has an insertion channel 11c and a liquid outlet channel 11d that are interconnected. The insertion channel 11c extends in the front-to-back direction. When the detergent box 11 is docked with the one-way valve 18, the valve body 181 is inserted into the insertion channel 11c and the two are sealed together. The top end of the liquid outlet channel 11d is connected to the insertion channel 11c, and the bottom end of the liquid outlet channel 11d is located at the bottom of the accommodating chamber 11a, which is used to guide the detergent in the accommodating chamber 11a to the insertion channel 11c.

[0144] It is understood that the opening of the insertion channel 11c at one end near the one-way valve 18 defines the liquid outlet port 11b. In this embodiment, when the detergent box 11 is pushed into the drawer space 15b in the front-to-back direction, the detergent box 11 and the one-way valve 18 are docked in the front-to-back direction, making docking convenient and eliminating the need for additional auxiliary alignment structures, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the clothing processing device.

[0145] When the detergent box 11 is pushed into the drawing space 15b in the front-to-back direction, the first end of the piston rod 182 moves in the front-to-back direction under the action of the thrust and enters the plugging channel 11c, and the valve body 181 enters the plugging channel 11c under the drive of the piston rod 182. The valve body 181 is sealed with the plugging channel 11c. In this way, the detergent flowing out of the liquid outlet channel 11d can flow toward the suction flow channel 152b in the plugging channel 11c, reducing the probability of the detergent flowing out of the liquid outlet channel 11d leaking through the docking gap between the valve body 181 and the plugging channel 11c, thereby increasing the reliability of detergent dispensing. When the dispensing pump 14 generates negative pressure, the detergent in the accommodating chamber 11a flows from the bottom end to the top end to the plugging channel 11c under the action of the negative pressure. When the dispensing pump 14 cancels the negative pressure, the detergent in the accommodating chamber 11a loses the power to move from the bottom end to the top end, that is, the detergent will not move toward the plugging channel 11c, thereby increasing the storage reliability of the detergent.

[0146] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 10 , the insertion channel 11 c is disposed at the top of the accommodating cavity 11 a , and a portion of the top wall of the detergent box 11 constitutes the top wall of the insertion channel 11 c .

[0147] That is to say, the one-way valve 18 is docked with the top of the detergent box 11. When the dosing pump 14 generates negative pressure, the detergent in the accommodating chamber 11a can flow toward the plug-in channel 11c on the top side to be sucked up by the dosing pump 14. When the dosing pump 14 cancels the negative pressure, the plug-in channel 11c is located at the top of the accommodating chamber 11a. The detergent in the accommodating chamber 11a has no driving force to move toward the top side and can be stored in the accommodating chamber 11a. It will not flow out from the plug-in channel 11c, thereby increasing the docking reliability of the detergent box 11 and the one-way valve 18.

[0148] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 15 , the one-way valve 18 includes a sealing ring 184 . The sealing ring 184 is sleeved around the valve body 181 . The sealing ring 184 and the inner wall of the insertion channel 11 c can slide relative to each other and form a sealing contact.

[0149] That is to say, when the valve body 181 extends into the insertion channel 11c, the sealing ring 184 can increase the sealing reliability of the valve body 181 and the inner wall of the insertion channel 11c, thereby reducing the probability of detergent leakage during suction by the dosing pump 14. When the detergent box 11 and the one-way valve 18 are docked or withdrawn, the sealing ring 184 and the inner wall of the insertion channel 11c can slide relative to each other, thereby increasing the reliability of the cooperation between the detergent box 11 and the one-way valve 18.

[0150] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 13, the outlet end of the liquid outlet channel 11d is formed with a liquid port 11e on the side wall of the plug-in channel 11c. Specifically, the detergent flowing from the bottom side of the accommodating chamber 11a to the top side enters the plug-in channel 11c through the liquid port 11e, and then moves toward the valve body 181. The valve body 181 does not exceed the liquid port 11e in the front-to-back direction. The valve body 181 will not block the liquid port 11e. The detergent flowing out of the liquid outlet channel 11d can completely flow out through the liquid port 11e and flow to the suction channel 152b through the valve body 181, thereby increasing the reliability of the detergent flow path.

[0151] The specific structure of the elastic member 183 is not limited.

[0152] For example, in some embodiments, referring to FIG. 12 , FIG. 13 and FIG. 15 , the elastic member 183 is a spring, which is sleeved on the piston rod 182 and located in the valve body 181 .

[0153] In this way, when the detergent box 11 is pushed into the drawing space 15b to complete the installation, the piston rod 182 moves under the action of the thrust, and the spring is compressed and deformed. When the detergent box 11 is at least partially pulled out of the drawing space 15b, the spring recovers the deformation and resets the piston rod 182 to its initial position. The structure of the spring is simple, and the spring is set in the valve body 181, and will not interfere with other components, and can also make the structure of the one-way valve 18 more compact.

[0154] The specific structure of the piston rod 182 is not limited.

[0155] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 13, the piston rod 182 includes a first rod segment 1821 and a second rod segment 1822 that are connected to each other. In a plane perpendicular to the front-to-back direction, the projection of the second rod segment 1822 is located within the projection of the first rod segment 1821, that is, in a plane perpendicular to the front-to-back direction, the projection area of ​​the second rod segment 1822 is smaller than the projection area of ​​the first rod segment 1821.

[0156] The first rod segment 1821 is disposed in the valve body 181 , and an end of the second rod segment 1822 away from the first rod segment 1821 is used to detachably abut against the side wall of the insertion channel 11 c along the front-to-back direction.

[0157] That is to say, in the process of pushing the detergent box 11 into the drawing space 15b, the end of the second rod segment 1822 away from the first rod segment 1821 abuts against the side wall of the insertion channel 11c, and the detergent box 11 continues to be pushed into the drawing space 15b. At this time, the end of the second rod segment 1822 away from the first rod segment 1821 continues to maintain an abutment state with the side wall of the insertion channel 11c. Under the action of the thrust, the first rod segment 1821 and the second rod segment 1822 flow toward the direction close to the suction channel 152b. When the detergent box 11 is installed in the drawing space 15b, the liquid outlet interface 11b is connected to the inlet 152c of the suction channel 152b; when the detergent box 11 is pulled out of the drawing space 15b, the end of the second rod segment 1822 away from the first rod segment 1821 separates from the side wall of the insertion channel 11c, and the second rod segment 1822 loses the driving force of the thrust and can be reset under the drive of the elastic member 183.

[0158] In this embodiment, when the side wall of the insertion channel 11c abuts against the end of the second rod segment 1822 away from the first rod segment 1821, it can provide sufficient abutting and limiting effects for the second rod segment 1822, thereby increasing the reliability of the docking between the one-way valve 18 and the detergent box 11. In the plane perpendicular to the front-to-back direction, the projected area of ​​the second rod segment 1822 is smaller than the projected area of ​​the first rod segment 1821, which can make the structure of the piston rod 182 simpler. In addition, the driving force required to drive the piston rod 182 is reduced, making the docking between the detergent box 11 and the one-way valve 18 simpler and more convenient.

[0159] It is understandable that the shapes of the first rod segment 1821 and the second rod segment 1822 are not limited. For example, they can be cylindrical, rectangular, or any other shape, which is not limited here.
