[0068] The second container 20 is telescopically arranged in the receiving cavity 110 to facilitate the second container 20 to be pulled out of the receiving cavity 110, so that the user can add liquid to the liquid storage cavity 21. When the second container 20 moves in the receiving cavity 110, the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 and the inlet of the liquid passage 13 move relative to each other, at this time, the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 21 is prone to flow from the gap between the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 and the inlet of the liquid passage 13 to the receiving cavity 110. Since the collecting cavity 121 is located below the receiving cavity 110, the liquid in the receiving cavity 110 can flow into the collecting cavity 121 to avoid the liquid from leaking from the first side opening 111 of the receiving cavity 110 to the environment. The collecting cavity 121 is used to collect the liquid flowing out of the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 to avoid the liquid from flowing in the receiving cavity 110, flowing from the first side opening 111 of the receiving cavity 110 to the indoor environment, flowing into the interior of the laundry treatment device during rinsing or dehydration to affect the washing effect, or flowing to the circuit in the interior of the laundry treatment device to affect the normal operation of the laundry treatment device.

When the second container 20 is in the second position, the second container 20 closes the first side opening 111 and the switch member 50 closes the first liquid passing opening 112.
[0090] Specifically, when the second container 20 is in the first position, a portion of the second container 20 extends from the first side opening 111, at which time the user can add liquid into the liquid storage cavity 21, and the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 21 can easily leak from the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 into the containing cavity 110, at which time the switch member 50 opens the first liquid passage 112 to facilitate the liquid in the containing cavity 110 to enter the liquid collection cavity 121. When the second container 20 is in the second position, the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 is in position with the inlet of the liquid passage 13, at which time the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 21 can flow into the liquid passage 13, and the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 21 cannot or only a small amount of liquid can leak into the containing cavity 110, at which time the first liquid passage 112 does not need to be opened.
[0091] In this way, the movement of the second container 20 can drive the switch member 50 to open or close the first liquid passage 112, and the movement of the second container 20 is linked with the opening or closing of the switch member 50, that is, the switch member 50 can be opened or closed by using a simple mechanical structure, without the need to set a component for controlling the switch member 50, thereby facilitating the reduction of the number of parts of the delivery device 1 and the reduction of the complexity of the parts of the delivery device 1.
[0092] In some embodiments, the switch member 50 includes a moving part 51 and a blocking part 52, the moving part 51 is movably arranged at the first liquid passage 112, and the blocking part 52 is connected with the moving part 51 and moves together with the moving part 51 to open or close the first liquid passage 112, wherein the moving part 51 is adapted to move away from the second container 20 under the driving of the second container 20 to drive the blocking part 52 to close the first liquid passage 112, so that the moving part 51 drives the blocking part 52 to move to a position at which the first liquid passage 112 is closed, thereby realizing the closing of the first liquid passage 112 by the switch member 50.
[0093] As shown in FIG. 11, in this embodiment, the switch member 50 is located below the second container 20, and when the second container 20 moves towards the second position, the bottom end of the second container 20 has a downward pushing force on the moving part 51 to drive the moving part 51 to move downwardly to drive the blocking part 52 to move downwardly, so that the blocking part 52 can cooperate with the bottom wall of the containing cavity 110 to close the first liquid passage 112.
[0094] In some examples, the blocking part 52 is a sealing ring arranged in the containing cavity 110, and the sealing ring is at least partially bent from the inside to the outside in the radial direction away from the second container 20, so that when the second container 20 drives the moving part 51 and the blocking part 52 to move away from the second container 20, the cooperation area between the sealing ring and the bottom wall of the containing cavity 110 is increased, thereby enabling the sealing ring to sufficiently seal the first liquid passage 112.
[0095] As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 13, in the embodiment, the switch piece 50 is located below the second container 20, and the sealing ring is inclined downward at least partially along its radial direction from inside to outside. When the second container 20 drives the moving part 51 and the sealing ring to move downward, the lower surface of the sealing ring is elastically deformed to be attached to the bottom wall of the containing cavity 110, thereby being able to seal the first liquid passage 112.
[0096] In addition, the sealing ring is inclined downward at least partially along its radial direction from inside to outside, so that the sealing ring is formed as a suction cup, so as to enable the sealing ring to suck the bottom wall of the containing cavity 110, so that the sealing ring is not easy to be disengaged from the bottom wall of the containing cavity 110, thereby realizing the full sealing of the first liquid passage 112 by the sealing ring.
[0097] In some embodiments, the switch piece 50 further comprises a reset part 53 connected with the first container 10 and the moving part 51. The moving part 51 is adapted to move in the direction close to the second container 20 under the drive of the reset part 53 to drive the blocking part 52 to open the first liquid passage 112. After the second container 20 moves to the first position and the second container 20 no longer has the driving force for the moving part 51 to move away from the second container 20, the moving part 51 and the blocking part 52 can automatically open the first liquid passage 112, so that the liquid in the containing cavity 110 can enter the liquid collecting cavity 121 from the first liquid passage 112.
[0098] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 12, the switch piece 50 is located below the second container 20. When the second container 20 moves to the first position, the bottom of the second container 20 is disengaged from the moving part 51. Under the action of the reset part 53, the reset part 53 drives the moving part 51 to move upward, and the moving part 51 can drive the reset part to move upward to the position where the first liquid passage 112 is opened. At this time, the liquid in the containing cavity 110 can enter the liquid collecting cavity 121 from the first liquid passage 112.
[0099] In some examples, the moving part 51 is a moving rod, the circumferential wall of the moving rod is provided with a limiting part 55, and the reset part 53 is a reset spring. The reset spring is sleeved on the moving rod and one end of the reset spring is abutted against the limiting part 55 and the other end of the reset spring is abutted against the first container 10, so as to clamp the reset spring between the limiting part 55 and the first container 10. Since the first container 10 is fixed, the reset spring can be used to drive the moving rod to move, thereby enabling the moving rod to drive the blocking part 52 to move to the position where the first liquid passage 112 is opened.
[0100] In some examples, the switch piece 50 is located below the second container 20, when the second container 20 is in the second position, the second container 20 has a downward force on the moving rod, so as to drive the moving rod to move the blocking part 52 downward to block the first liquid passage 112, and the moving rod is compressed when moving downward, when the second container 20 is moved to the first position, the second container 20 is disengaged from the moving rod, and the moving rod is driven by the reset spring to move upward and drive the blocking part 52 to move upward, so that the blocking part 52 can open the first liquid passage 112.
[0101] In some optional embodiments, as shown in FIG. 13, the moving part 51 has a convex spherical surface 54 at one end facing the second container 20, which facilitates reducing the wear between the moving part 51 and the second container 20, and makes the relative movement between the second container 20 and the moving part 51 more smooth, avoiding the interference of the moving part 51 with the pulling of the second container 20.
[0102] In some embodiments, the second container 20 can be pushed and pulled in the front-back direction, the switch piece 50 is located below the second container 20, when the second container 20 is in the second position, the lower end surface of the second container 20 abuts against the convex spherical surface 54 to limit the position of the moving part 51, so that the moving part 51 and the blocking part 52 cannot move upward, and the blocking part 52 can close the first liquid passage 112. When the moving part 51 moves in the front-back direction, the bottom of the second container 20 contacts and slides relative to the convex spherical surface 54, the one end of the moving part 51 facing the second container 20 is the convex spherical surface 54, which facilitates reducing the contact area between the convex spherical surface 54 and the lower end surface of the second container 20, reducing the wear and friction between the moving part 51 and the second container 20, making the second container 20 slide smoothly in the front-back direction, and avoiding the interference of the moving part 51 with the movement of the second container 20.
[0103] In some embodiments, the second container 20 can be pushed and pulled in the front-back direction, the switch piece 50 is located below the second container 20, when the second container 20 is in the second position, the lower end surface of the second container 20 abuts against the convex spherical surface 54 to limit the position of the moving part 51, so that the moving part 51 and the blocking part 52 cannot move upward, and the blocking part 52 can close the first liquid passage 112. When the moving part 51 moves in the front-back direction, the bottom of the second container 20 contacts and slides relative to the convex spherical surface 54, the one end of the moving part 51 facing the second container 20 is the convex spherical surface 54, which facilitates reducing the contact area between the convex spherical surface 54 and the lower end surface of the second container 20, reducing the wear and friction between the moving part 51 and the second container 20, making the second container 20 slide smoothly in the front-back direction, and avoiding the interference of the moving part 51 with the movement of the second container 20.
[0104] In some optional embodiments, as shown in FIG. 12, the second container 20 is provided with a guide surface 27 on the side facing the bottom wall of the containing cavity 110, and the switch member 50 is in sliding cooperation with the guide surface 27 during the pushing and pulling of the second container 20. The guide surface 27 extends from top to bottom towards the direction of the first side opening 111, so as to guide the movement of the switch member 50 by the guide surface 27 during the pushing and pulling of the second container 20, and avoid the switch member 50 from being stuck with the second container 20.
[0105] As shown in FIG. 12, in the present embodiment, the second container 20 is located on the front side of the first container 10, and the guide surface 27 extends from top to bottom towards the front. When the second container 20 moves from the first position to the second position, i.e. when the second container 20 moves backwards, the upper part of the guide surface 27 first contacts the switch member 50. During the backward movement of the guide surface 27, the guide surface 27 gradually presses the switch member 50 to move downwards, so as to gradually move the switch member 50 to the position of closing the first liquid passage 112.
[0106] In the present embodiment, when the guide surface 27 opens the first liquid passage 112, the upper end of the switch member 50 is higher than the lower end of the guide surface 27, but lower than the upper end of the guide surface 27. When the second container 20 moves backwards, the upper end of the guide surface 27 first abuts against the upper end of the switch member 50. The guide surface 27 can gradually drive the switch member 50 to move downwards, so as to avoid the switch member 50 from hindering the backward movement of the second container 20, and further avoid the switch member 50 and the second container 20 from being stuck with each other.
[0107] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the bottom wall of the containing cavity 110 has a flow guide surface extending from top to bottom towards the direction of the first liquid passage 112, so as to guide the liquid in the containing cavity 110 to flow to the first liquid passage 112 and then to the liquid collecting cavity 121, which facilitates reducing the residual liquid in the containing cavity 110 and improving the utilization rate of the liquid.
[0108] In some optional embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2, the second container 20 defines a plurality of liquid storage cavities 21, the first container 10 defines a plurality of liquid passage flow channels 13 and a plurality of liquid collecting cavities 121, the plurality of liquid passage flow channels 13, the plurality of liquid collecting cavities 121 and the plurality of liquid storage cavities 21 correspond one by one, and the plurality of liquid collecting cavities 121 are in communication with the containing cavity 110 through the plurality of first liquid passages 112. When the pushing and pulling of the second container 20 causes the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 21 to easily flow from the gap between the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 and the inlet of the liquid passage flow channel 13 to the containing cavity 110, the liquid enters the corresponding liquid collecting cavity 121 from the corresponding first liquid passage 112, so as to separately collect the leaked liquid from different liquid storage cavities 21. In this way, when the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 21 is different liquids, different liquids can be flexibly put according to the needs.
[0109] Specifically, the second container 20 defines two liquid storage chambers 21, one of which is used to store laundry liquid, and the other is used to store care liquid, and the first container 10 defines two liquid passing channels 13 and two liquid collecting chambers 121, which correspond to the two liquid storage chambers 21 one by one.
[0110] When the second container 20 is pushed or pulled, the laundry liquid in one of the liquid storage chambers 21 is easily leaked from the gap between the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 and the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13 into the containing cavity 110, and the laundry liquid enters the corresponding liquid collecting chamber 121 from the corresponding first liquid passing opening 112 to store the leaked laundry liquid in the corresponding liquid collecting chamber 121. The care liquid in the other liquid storage chamber 21 is easily leaked from the gap between the outlet of the liquid storage chamber 21 and the inlet of the liquid passing channel 13 into the containing cavity 110, and the care liquid enters the corresponding liquid collecting chamber 121 from the corresponding first liquid passing opening 112 to store the leaked care liquid in the corresponding liquid collecting chamber 121.
[0111] By storing the laundry liquid and the care liquid in different liquid storage chambers 21, and storing the laundry liquid and the care liquid leaked into the containing cavity 110 in the corresponding liquid collecting chambers 121, the suction member 43 can be used to deliver the laundry liquid and the care liquid into different delivery cavities, or the suction member 43 can be used to sequentially deliver the laundry liquid and the care liquid into the delivery cavities, so that the delivery assembly can sequentially deliver the laundry liquid and the care liquid into the clothes treatment cavity.
[0112] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 20, the bottom wall of the containing cavity 110 includes a first bottom wall 114 and a second bottom wall 115, which extend away from each other from top to bottom, and the first liquid passing openings 112 corresponding to the at least two liquid collecting chambers 121 are respectively arranged at the ends of the first bottom wall 114 and the second bottom wall 115 away from each other. Under the action of gravity, the first bottom wall 114 guides the liquid leaked from one of the liquid storage chambers 21 to the corresponding first liquid passing opening 112 to store the liquid in the corresponding liquid collecting chamber 121, and the second bottom wall 115 guides the liquid leaked from the other liquid storage chamber 21 to the corresponding first liquid passing opening 112 to store the liquid in the corresponding liquid collecting chamber 121.
[0113] In some embodiments, the first bottom wall 114 extends leftward from top to bottom, and the second bottom wall 115 extends rightward from top to bottom, one of the liquid collecting chambers 121 is arranged below the left end of the first bottom wall 114, so that the liquid in the containing cavity 110 can flow along the first bottom wall 114 to the corresponding liquid collecting chamber 121. The other liquid collecting chamber 121 is arranged below the right end of the second bottom wall 115, so that the liquid in the containing cavity 110 can flow along the second bottom wall 115 to the corresponding liquid collecting chamber 121.
[0114] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 20, the first bottom wall 114 and the second bottom wall 115 are connected in a circular arc transition to form a continuous arc structure for the bottom wall of the containing cavity 110, which facilitates improving the appearance of the first container 10 and making the appearance of the dispensing device 1 more beautiful, and facilitating improving the visual experience of the user.
[0115] In some examples, the dispensing device 1 is applied to a laundry treating apparatus, and the bottom walls of the first container 10 and the second container 20 are both formed in a continuous arc structure to enable the second container 20 to adapt to the space in the containing cavity 110 and to enable the second container 20 to be slidably arranged in the containing cavity 110. In this case, the laundry treating apparatus includes a door body and a front opening, the door body is a circular door body, and the first container 10 and the second container 20 are arranged above the door body and adapted to the outer peripheral surface of the door body, which facilitates improving the harmony of the door body and the first container 10 and the second container 20, and further facilitates improving the appearance of the laundry treating apparatus.
[0116] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 20, the bottom wall of the containing cavity 110 is provided with a first partition 14 extending in the first direction, and at least two liquid collecting cavities 121 are located on both sides of the first partition 14, and the bottom of the second container 20 is in sliding cooperation with the first partition 14. On the one hand, the sliding direction of the first container 10 can be limited by the first partition 14 to enable the first container 10 to smoothly slide in the first direction. On the other hand, the first partition 14 can separate the outlets of different liquid storage cavities 21 to avoid the mixing of the liquid leaked from the outlets of different liquid storage cavities 21 in the containing cavity 110.
[0117] For example, the second container 20 defines two liquid storage cavities 21, one of which is used to store laundry detergent, and the other of which is used to store care liquid. The first container 10 defines two liquid passing flow channels 13 and two liquid collecting cavities 121. The first direction extends in the front-rear direction, and the first partition 14 is arranged in the middle of the containing cavity 110 to divide the containing cavity 110 into left and right parts. The two liquid passing flow channels 13, the two liquid collecting cavities 121, and the two liquid storage cavities 21 are all located on both sides of the first partition 14. The liquid storage cavity 21 on the left side of the first partition 14 is in communication with the liquid passing flow channel 13 on the left side of the first partition 14, and the liquid storage cavity 21 on the right side of the first partition 14 is in communication with the liquid passing flow channel 13 on the right side of the first partition 14.
[0118] The first partition 14 can separate the outlets of the two liquid storage cavities 21. When the laundry detergent in one of the liquid storage cavities 21 leaks, the first partition 14 can confine the laundry detergent to the left side of the accommodating cavity 110, and the laundry detergent can flow into the corresponding liquid collecting cavity 121 through the first liquid passage 112 on the left side of the first partition 14. When the care liquid in the other liquid storage cavity 21 leaks, the first partition 14 can confine the care liquid to the right side of the accommodating cavity 110, and the care liquid can flow into the corresponding liquid collecting cavity 121 through the first liquid passage 112 on the right side of the first partition 14. In this way, the laundry detergent and the care liquid leaking from the liquid storage cavities 21 can be prevented from mixing in the accommodating cavity 110, and the mixed laundry detergent and care liquid can be prevented from being discharged into the discharge cavity by the suction assembly 40, so as to avoid affecting the effects of the laundry detergent and the care liquid.
[0119] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the bottom of the second container 20 is provided with a first sliding groove 28 extending in the first direction, and a portion of the first partition 14 extends into the first sliding groove 28 and is in sliding fit with the first sliding groove 28, so that the second container 20 is pullably arranged in the accommodating cavity 110 in the first direction.
[0120] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 16-21, one of the side walls of the second container 20 and the accommodating cavity 110 is provided with a first guide groove 25 extending in the first direction, and the other is provided with a first guide protrusion 15 in sliding fit with the first guide groove 25, so as to limit the slidable direction of the first container 10 and support the first container 10, so that the first container 10 can stably slide in the first direction, and the user can smoothly pull the first container 10.
[0121] In some optional embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 16, the side wall of the first container 10 is provided with a first insertion hole 116, and the first guide protrusion 15 is partially inserted into the first insertion hole 116 and fixed to the side wall of the first container 10 by a fastener, so that a portion of the first guide protrusion 15 is located in the accommodating cavity 110, and the outer peripheral wall of the second container 20 defines the first guide groove 25, which is in sliding fit with the first guide protrusion 15 in the accommodating cavity 110, so as to pullably arrange the second container 20 in the accommodating cavity 110.
[0122] The first guide protrusion 15 can support the sliding of the second container 20 and limit the slidable direction of the second container 20, so that the user can reduce the amplitude of shaking of the second container 20 when pushing and pulling the second container 20, thereby improving the operation feeling of the user.
[0123] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 16, a first guide protrusion 15 is arranged on each of the left and right side walls of the accommodating cavity 110, and the first guide protrusion 15 extends in the front-rear direction. The left and right outer circumferential surfaces of the second container 20 are respectively defined with a first guide groove 25. The first guide protrusion 15 is in sliding fit with the corresponding first guide groove 25 to support the sliding of the second container 20 in the front-rear direction from the left and right sides of the second container 20. This facilitates reducing the shaking amplitude of the second container 20 during sliding, and further improves the operation feeling of the user when the user pushes and pulls the second container 20 in the front-rear direction.
[0124] In some embodiments, the distance between the guide rail and the first guide groove 25 in the up-down direction is a fixed value, thereby facilitating ensuring that the shaking amount of the second container 20 in the up-down direction is fixed. By controlling the distance between the guide rail and the first guide groove 25 in the up-down direction to be small, the shaking amount of the second container 20 in the up-down direction is controlled to be small, so that the second container 20 moves more stably in the front-rear direction.
[0125] In some embodiments, the material of the first guide protrusion 15 is polyoxymethylene (POM), which has the characteristic of low friction coefficient D. This facilitates reducing the friction between the first guide protrusion 15 and the first guide groove 25, and reducing the wear of the first guide protrusion 15 when sliding in the first guide groove 25, so that the second container 20 is more smoothly pushed and pulled.
[0126] In some embodiments, lubricating oil such as vaseline can be applied to the first guide protrusion 15 or the first guide groove 25 to lubricate the relative sliding of the first guide protrusion 15 and the first guide groove 25. This facilitates reducing the friction between the first guide protrusion 15 and the first guide groove 25, and reducing the wear of the first guide protrusion 15 when sliding in the first guide groove 25, so that the second container 20 is more smoothly pushed and pulled.
[0127] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2, the second container 20 has a top opening 22 communicating with the liquid storage cavity 21. One of the second container 20 and the first container 10 is provided with a first elastic stop portion 26, and the other is provided with a first stop matching portion 16. The second container 20 is movable in a first direction between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the first elastic stop portion 26 is stopped on the first stop matching portion 16, and the second container 20 partially extends out of the first side opening 111 to expose the top opening 22. At this time, liquid can be added to the liquid storage cavity 21 from the top opening 22. By arranging the first elastic stop portion 26 and the first stop matching portion 16, the sliding distance of the second container 20 in the accommodating cavity 110 can be limited, and the second container 20 and the first container 10 can be prevented from being disengaged.
[0128] In addition, the first elastic stop portion 26 is matched with the first stop matching portion 16, so that when the user pulls the second container 20 and the first elastic stop portion 26 collides with the first stop matching portion 16, the first elastic stop portion 26 can be elastically deformed to absorb part of the impact force, thereby reducing the noise generated when the first elastic stop portion 26 and the first stop matching portion 16 collide, reducing the noise generated when the first container 10 and the second container 20 collide, and facilitating the user's use experience.
[0129] In the second position, the first elastic stop portion 26 is disengaged from the first stop matching portion 16, and the top opening 22 is located in the containing cavity 110 to close the top opening 22 with the containing cavity 110, so as to avoid dust or other pollutants in the environment from entering the containing cavity 110 from the top opening 22, and to avoid the pollutants from polluting the liquid in the containing cavity 110.
[0130] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, the first direction extends in the front-back direction, the upper end surface of the second container 20 is provided with the first elastic stop portion 26, and the upper top wall of the containing cavity 110 is provided with the first stop matching portion 16. When the second container 20 moves forward to the first position, the first elastic stop portion 26 is matched with the first stop matching portion 16 to limit the distance of forward movement of the second container 20, so as to avoid the second container 20 from moving out of the containing cavity 110 and to avoid the second container 20 from being disengaged from the first container 10.
[0131] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 22, the upper end of the second container 20 is provided with a plurality of first elastic stop portions 26, and the plurality of first elastic stop portions 26 are arranged at intervals. When the second container 20 moves to the first position, the plurality of first elastic stop portions 26 stop at the corresponding first stop matching portions 16. When the first elastic stop portion 26 is impacted, the first elastic stop portion 26 can be elastically deformed to absorb part of the impact force, thereby sufficiently reducing the noise generated when the first elastic stop portion 26 and the first stop matching portion 16 collide, and facilitating the user's use experience.
[0132] In some optional embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 25 and FIG. 26, the first elastic stop portion 26 comprises a first mounting bracket 261 and a first elastic member 262, the first elastic member 262 is arranged on the first mounting bracket 261, the first mounting bracket 261 is used for supporting the position of the first elastic member 262, and the first elastic member 262 is used for stop cooperation with the first stop cooperation portion 16. When the second container 20 moves to the first position and the first elastic member 262 collides with the first stop cooperation portion 16, the first elastic member 262 can be elastically deformed to absorb the collision force between the first elastic member 262 and the first stop cooperation portion 16, thereby reducing the noise generated when the first elastic member 262 and the first stop cooperation portion 16 collide, and reducing the noise generated when the first container 10 and the second container 20 collide.
[0133] In some embodiments, the first elastic member 262 and the first mounting bracket 261 are connected together in a clamping manner to fix the first elastic member 262 on the first mounting bracket 261.
[0134] In some other embodiments, the first elastic member 262 and the first mounting bracket 261 are connected together in an adhesive manner to facilitate fixing the first elastic member 262 on the first mounting bracket 261, and the first elastic member 262 cooperates with the first elastic stop portion 26.
[0135] In some other embodiments, the first elastic member 262 and the first mounting bracket 261 are connected together in an integral injection molding manner. The first elastic member 262 and the first mounting bracket 261 can be different materials. For example, the first mounting bracket 261 is a metal material with high hardness, so that the first mounting bracket 261 is not easy to deform, and the first mounting bracket 261 can stably fix the first elastic member 262 at a specified position. The first elastic member 262 is a rubber material, and the first elastic member 262 and the first mounting bracket 261 are connected together by double-color injection molding.
[0136] In some optional embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 14, the top opening 22 is provided with a cover 30, the cover 30 is used for opening or closing the top opening 22. When the user pulls the second container 20 to move to the first position, the cover 30 can be operated to open the top opening 22, and at this time, the liquid can be added to the liquid storage cavity 21. After adding the liquid, the cover 30 can be operated to close the top opening 22 to avoid spilling of the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 21 or pollution of the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 21 by dust and other pollutants in the environment. After the cover 30 closes the top opening 22, the second container 20 can be pushed to move to the first position. At this time, the cover 30 and the second container 20 are located in the containing cavity 110, so that the first container 10 can protect the second container 20 and the cover 30.
[0137] In some embodiments, the cover 30 is screwed to the inner wall of the top opening 22, and the side of the cover 30 facing away from the second container 20 is provided with an operating portion 31, and a user can rotate the cover 30 by operating the operating portion 31 to open or close the top opening 22.
[0138] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 16, the side of the second container 20 facing away from the first container 10 is provided with a handle portion 29, and a user can push or pull the second container 20 by operating the handle portion 29, which facilitates the convenience of user operation.
[0139] In some examples, the first direction extends in the front-rear direction (it should be understood that the above-mentioned direction is defined only for the convenience of describing the drawings, and does not limit the actual setting position and direction of the pouring device 1), and the handle portion 29 is arranged on the front side of the second container 20, and a user can push or pull the second container 20 in the front-rear direction by operating the handle portion 29. When the user pulls the second container 20 forward to the first position, the second container 20 partially extends out of the first side opening 111 to expose the cover 30, and the cover 30 can be rotated to open the top opening 22, and at this time, liquid can be added to the liquid storage cavity 21 through the top opening 22. After the liquid is added to the liquid storage cavity 21, the cover 30 can be rotated to close the top opening 22, and then the handle portion 29 is operated to push the second container 20 backward, so that the second container 20 moves backward to the second position.
[0140] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 27, the second container 20 includes a connecting shell 201 and a second container body 202, the connecting shell 201 is adapted to be pushably and pullably arranged in the accommodating cavity 110 from the first side opening 111 in the first direction, the connecting shell 201 defines a mounting cavity 2012 with a second side opening, and the second container body 202 is adapted to be pushably and pullably arranged in the mounting cavity 2012 from the second side opening in the first direction, and the second container body 202 defines the liquid storage cavity 21, which facilitates the stroke of the second container body 202 that can be pushed and pulled, so as to enable the second container body 202 to be pulled out of the accommodating cavity 110, thereby facilitating the addition of liquid to the liquid storage cavity 21.
[0141] Specifically, when the connecting shell 201 is pushed or pulled in the first direction from the first side opening 111, since the second container body 202 is arranged in the mounting cavity 2012, the connecting shell 201 drives the second container body 202 to be pushed or pulled in the first direction, which is the first stroke of the second container body 202, and the second container body 202 can also be pushed or pulled in the first direction from the second side opening with respect to the connecting shell 201, which is the second stroke of the second container body 202, which facilitates the stroke of the second container body 202 in the first direction, so as to enable the second container body 202 to be completely pulled out of the accommodating cavity 110.
[0142] In some embodiments, the first direction extends along the front-rear direction, when the connecting shell 201 is moved forward along the first direction, the second container body 202 is moved forward by the connecting shell 201, after the connecting shell 201 and the second container body 202 are moved forward by a first stroke, the second container body 202 can also be moved forward relative to the connecting shell 201 by a second stroke, so that the stroke by which the second container body 202 can be moved forward is the sum of the first stroke and the second stroke, thereby ensuring that the second container body 202 can be completely leaked out of the accommodating cavity 110 to facilitate adding liquid into the liquid storage cavity 21.
[0143] As shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 27, in the present embodiment, the second container body 202 has a top opening 22, and the top of the connecting shell 201 has an avoiding opening 2017 for avoiding the top opening 22, so that the avoiding opening 2017 is leaked out of the mounting cavity 2012 from the top opening 22, wherein, after the connecting shell 201 and the second container body 202 are moved forward by a first stroke, if the top opening 22 is exposed to the accommodating cavity 110, it is not necessary to continue to pull the second container body 202 to move forward, at this time, liquid can be directly added into the liquid storage cavity 21 from the top opening 22. If the connecting shell 201 and the second container body 202 are moved forward by a first stroke, and the top opening 22 is not completely exposed to the accommodating cavity 110, at this time, the second container body 202 can be pulled to move forward relative to the connecting shell 201 until the top opening 22 is leaked out of the accommodating cavity 110.
[0144] In some optional embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 18, FIG. 23 and FIG. 27, one of the side walls of the connecting shell 201 and the second container body 202 is provided with a second guide groove 2023 extending along the first direction, and the other is provided with a second guide protrusion 2013, the second guide protrusion 2013 and the second guide groove 2023 are in sliding fit, so as to limit the sliding direction of the second container body 202 relative to the connecting shell 201 and support the second container body 202, so that the second container body 202 can stably slide along the first direction, so that the user can smoothly pull the second container body 202.
[0145] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 18 and FIG. 27, a first guide protrusion 15 is arranged on each of the left and right side walls of the accommodating cavity 110, the first guide protrusion 15 extends along the front-rear direction, and a first guide groove 25 is defined on the left and right outer peripheral walls of the connecting shell 201, respectively, the first guide protrusion 15 and the corresponding first guide groove 25 are in sliding fit, so as to limit the sliding of the connecting shell 201 along the front-rear direction.
[0146] The left and right side walls of the mounting cavity 2012 are respectively provided with second guide protrusions 2013, and the left and right outer circumferential walls of the second container body 202 respectively define second guide grooves 2023, which are in sliding fit with the second guide protrusions 2013 to limit the sliding of the second container body 202 in the front-rear direction.
[0147] The second container body 202 is arranged in the mounting cavity 2012, and the second guide protrusions 2013 are located above the first guide grooves 25, that is, the second guide protrusions 2013 and the second guide grooves 2023 are located above the first guide protrusions 15 and the first guide grooves 25, so as to arrange the second guide protrusions 2013 and the first guide protrusions 15 in a staggered manner in space and avoid mutual interference.
[0148] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 16, the side wall of the first container 10 is provided with a first insertion hole 116, and the first guide protrusion 15 is partially inserted into the first insertion hole 116 and fixed to the side wall of the first container 10 by a fastener, so that part of the first guide protrusion 15 is located in the accommodation cavity 110, and the first guide grooves 25 on the connecting shell 201 can be matched with the part of the first guide protrusion 15 located in the accommodation cavity 110, so that the connecting shell 201 can slide in the first direction in the accommodation cavity 110.
[0149] As shown in FIG. 27, the side wall of the connecting shell 201 is provided with a second insertion hole 206, and part of the second guide protrusion 2013 is inserted into the second insertion hole 206 and fixed to the side wall of the connecting shell 201 by a fastener, so that part of the second guide protrusion 2013 is located in the mounting cavity 2012, and the second guide grooves 2023 on the second container body 202 can be matched with the part of the second guide protrusion 2013 located in the mounting cavity 2012, so that the second container body 202 can slide in the first direction in the mounting cavity 2012.
[0150] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 16, the first guide protrusion 15 includes a first protruding portion 151 and a second protruding portion 152, both of which extend in the front-rear direction, the first insertion hole 116 extends in the front-rear direction, the first protruding portion 151 is arranged in the first insertion hole 116, and the second protruding portion 152 is used for sliding fit with the first guide grooves 25. The second protruding portion 152 is provided with a first connecting hole, and the side wall of the first container 10 is provided with a second connecting hole, and a connecting member passes through the second connecting hole and is matched with the first connecting hole, so as to fix the first guide protrusion 15 to the side wall of the first container 10.
[0151] The first protrusion 151 is inserted into the first insertion hole 116 to position the first guide protrusion 15 and limit the extension direction of the first guide protrusion 15. After the guide protrusion is fixed to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 110, the second protrusion 152 can extend horizontally in the front-back direction, so that the second container 20 can be smoothly pushed and pulled in the accommodating cavity 110 in the front-back direction. The installation position of the first guide protrusion 15 is limited, so that the sliding smoothness of the second container 20 is improved.
[0152] The second guide protrusion 2013 has the same structure as the first guide protrusion 15, which will not be repeated here.
[0153] In some optional embodiments of the present application, one of the connecting shell 201 and the second container body 202 is provided with the second elastic stop portion 203, and the other is provided with the second stop matching portion 2015. When the second container body 202 moves relative to the connecting shell 201 to the state where the second elastic stop portion 203 and the second stop matching portion 2015 abut, the connecting shell 201 is adapted to move out of the accommodating cavity 110 in the first direction under the driving of the second container body 202. At this time, the second container body 202 no longer moves out of the accommodating cavity 110 in the first direction relative to the connecting shell 201, so as to avoid the disengagement of the connecting shell 201 and the second container body 202. When the second container body 202 continues to move, the connecting shell 201 will be driven to move out of the accommodating cavity 110 in the first direction.
[0154] Specifically, when the second container body 202 is pulled to move out of the accommodating cavity 110, the second container body 202 first moves out of the mounting cavity 2012 in the first direction relative to the connecting shell 201 until the second elastic stop portion 203 and the second stop matching portion 2015 abut. At this time, the second container body 202 drives the connecting shell 201 to move out of the accommodating cavity 110 in the first direction through the cooperation between the second elastic stop portion 203 and the second stop matching portion 2015. That is, at this time, the second container body 202 and the connecting shell 201 move out of the accommodating cavity 110 in the first direction together, so that the second container body 202 can completely leak out of the accommodating cavity 110, and then the liquid can be added to the liquid storage cavity 21.
[0155] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 25-27, the first direction extends along the front-rear direction, the upper wall of the connecting shell 201 is provided with a second matching groove 2014, a front side wall of the second matching groove 2014 forms a second stop matching part 2015, the upper wall of the second container body 202 is provided with a second elastic stop part 203, the second elastic stop part 203 extends into the second matching groove 2014 and is slidable in the second matching groove 2014, wherein the second matching groove 2014 extends along the first direction to limit the sliding direction of the second elastic stop part 203, when the second container body 202 moves forward to the second elastic stop part 203 stops against the second stop matching part 2015, the second container body 20 can no longer continue to move forward relative to the connecting shell 201, if the second container body 20 is continuously pulled forward, the second container body 20 can drive the connecting shell 201 to move forward.

[0162] In the above examples, the second mounting bracket 2031 has the same structure as the first mounting bracket 261, and the second elastic member 2032 has the same structure as the first elastic member 262, and the specific structure of the second elastic member 2032 and the second mounting bracket 2031 will not be described here.
[0163] In some examples of the present application, the second container 20 is movable along the first direction between the first position and the second position, wherein when the connecting shell 201 moves along the first direction and the first elastic stop portion 26 on the connecting shell 201 abuts against the first abutting cooperation portion 16 on the first container 10, the second container 20 is in the first position, at this time, the second elastic stop portion 203 can abut against the second abutting cooperation portion 2015 or can not abut against the second abutting cooperation portion 2015, which will not be limited here.
[0164] In some examples, the switch member 50 is located below the connecting shell 201, when the connecting shell 201 moves towards the second position, the bottom end of the connecting shell 201 has a downward pushing force on the moving portion 51, so that the moving portion 51 drives the blocking portion 52 to move downward, so that the blocking portion 52 can cooperate with the bottom wall of the containing cavity 110, and then the first liquid passage 112 is closed.
[0165] In some examples, as shown in FIG. 12, the connecting shell 201 is located on the front side of the first container 10, the bottom of the connecting shell 201 is provided with a guide surface 27, the guide surface 27 extends from top to bottom and forward, when the second container 20 moves from the first position to the second position, that is, the connecting shell 201 moves backward, the upper part of the guide surface 27 first contacts the switch member 50, during the backward movement of the guide surface 27, the guide surface 27 gradually pushes the switch member 50 to move downward, so that the switch member 50 gradually moves to the position where the first liquid passage 112 is closed.
[0166] In some alternative embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 27 and FIG. 28, the installation cavity 2012 is in communication with the containing cavity 110 through a second liquid passage 2018, and the bottom wall of the installation cavity 2012 has a drainage surface 2019 extending from top to bottom towards the second liquid passage 2018, so as to guide the liquid leaked into the installation cavity 2012 to the second liquid passage 2018, and enable the liquid to flow into the containing cavity 110 from the second liquid passage 2018, and enable the liquid in the containing cavity 110 to flow into the liquid collecting cavity 121.

[0170] In some embodiments, a switch valve is arranged at the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21. When the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 and the inlet of the liquid passage flow channel 13 are in place, the switch valve opens the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21, and at this time, the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 21 flows into the liquid passage flow channel 13. When the second container body 202 moves forward in the containing cavity 110, the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 moves forward relative to the inlet of the liquid passage flow channel 13, and at this time, the switch valve closes the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21, but part of the liquid remains at the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21. When the second container body 202 moves, the liquid remaining at the outlet of the liquid storage cavity 21 drips into the containing cavity 110 and the installation cavity 2012.
