At the same time, the arrangement of the detergent dispenser 120 and the water outlet 321 of the door seal 320 on different components facilitates the overall design of the laundry treatment equipment 300, greatly simplifies the structure, and is conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0059] In an example, the water outlet 321 of the door seal 320 can be directly in communication with the water inlet pipe, so that in the case that the door glass 110 seals the door seal 320, water from the external water source enters the detergent dispenser 120 through the water inlet pipe, the water outlet 321 of the door seal 320, and the installation opening 1121 of the installation groove 112.

[0060] In another example, as shown in FIG. 15, the laundry treatment equipment 300 further includes a spray head 330 installed on the door seal 320 and located at the water outlet 321 of the door seal 320, the water inlet end of the spray head 330 is located inside the door seal 320 and in communication with the water inlet pipe, and the water outlet end of the spray head 330 is located outside the door seal 320 and faces at least part of the installation opening 1121, so that in the case that the door glass 110 seals the door seal 320, water from the external water source enters the detergent dispenser 120 through the water inlet pipe, the spray head 330, and the installation opening 1121 of the installation groove 112. It can be understood that the spray head 330 can be multiple, and the multiple spray heads 330 are arranged at intervals on the circumferential side of the door seal 320 to wash the door glass 110 and improve the cleanliness of the door glass 110. Among them, part of the spray heads 330 can be opposite to at least part of the installation opening 1121. Wherein, the outside of the door seal 320 can be understood as the side of the door seal 320 facing the laundry containing cavity, and the inside of the door seal 320 can be understood as the side of the door seal 320 away from the laundry containing cavity.

[0061] It can be understood that the water outlet 321 of the door seal 320 in the embodiment can be the original structure of the laundry treating apparatus 300. For example, the laundry treating apparatus 300 is originally provided with the spray head 330 or the water outlet 321 to clean the door glass 110. Therefore, the door body assembly 100 in the embodiment can use the original spray head 330 or water outlet 321 on the door seal 320 of the laundry treating apparatus 300 to realize the water supply operation on the detergent dispenser 120, further simplify the structure, save the manufacturing cost, and be suitable for popularization and application.

[0064] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 15, in some possible implemented embodiments provided by the present disclosure, the drain port 1122 is located at the end of the door glass 110 away from the water seal ring 111. It can be understood that the end of the door glass 110 away from the water seal ring 111 is close to the middle position of the inside of the laundry containing cavity. By arranging the drain port 1122 of the installation groove 112 at the end of the door glass 110 away from the water seal ring 111, the mixture of the detergent and the water discharged from the drain port 1122 of the installation groove 112 can quickly flow into the middle part of the laundry treating cavity and fully contact with the laundry, so as to ensure good cleaning effect.

[0065] Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 15, the bottom end of the drain port 1122 is arranged flush with the groove bottom of the installation groove 112. This arrangement can improve the thoroughness of the liquid in the installation groove 112 discharged through the drain port 1122, reduce the possibility of liquid remaining in the installation groove 112 of the door glass 110, and improve the cleanliness of the door glass 110.

[0066] Further, the groove bottom of the mounting groove 112 is arranged downwardly inclined to the direction of the liquid discharge port 1122, so that the groove bottom of the mounting groove 112 has a good guiding effect on the liquid, which is conducive to improving the thoroughness of the liquid in the mounting groove 112 being discharged through the liquid discharge port 1122, reducing the possibility of liquid remaining on the mounting groove 112 of the door glass 110, and improving the cleanliness of the door glass 110.

[0067] Further, the bottom end of the liquid discharge port 1122 is arranged flush with the groove bottom of the mounting groove 112, and at the same time, the groove bottom of the mounting groove 112 is arranged downwardly inclined to the direction of the liquid discharge port 1122, thereby further improving the thoroughness of the liquid in the mounting groove 112 being discharged through the liquid discharge port 1122, reducing the possibility of liquid remaining on the mounting groove 112 of the door glass 110, and improving the cleanliness of the door glass 110.

[0068] As shown in FIG. 15, in some possible implemented embodiments provided by the present disclosure, the bottom end of the detergent dispensing device 120 is provided with a liquid outlet 1211. The liquid outlet 1211 is arranged at the bottom of the detergent dispensing device 120, which is conducive to improving the thoroughness of the mixed liquid of water and detergent being discharged from the detergent dispensing device 120, and further conducive to improving the cleanliness of the detergent dispensing device 120.

[0069] The gap between the liquid outlet 1211 and the groove bottom of the mounting groove 112, that is, the bottom end of the detergent dispensing device 120 is arranged suspended from the groove bottom of the mounting groove 112. The gap between the two provides a certain flow space for the liquid discharged from the liquid outlet 1211 of the detergent dispensing device 120, which is conducive to improving the smoothness of the liquid being discharged from the detergent dispensing device 120, and further makes the liquid discharge effect of the passage between the water outlet 321 of the door seal 320, the mounting groove 112 of the door glass 110, and the detergent dispensing device 120 higher.

[0070] The gap distance between the liquid outlet 1211 and the groove bottom of the mounting groove 112 is 2 mm to 20 mm. By reasonably arranging the gap between the liquid outlet 1211 and the groove bottom of the mounting groove 112, the detergent dispensing device 120 can have good liquid discharge performance, thereby improving the detergent supply efficiency of the clothes treatment apparatus 300, and at the same time, making the volume of the mounting groove 112 more reasonable, so that the door glass 110 has enough space for a user to observe the internal condition of the clothes containing cavity. Specifically, the gap distance between the liquid outlet 1211 and the groove bottom of the mounting groove 112 can be 2 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, or other sizes.

[0071] As shown in FIG. 4, in some possible implementation embodiments provided by the present disclosure, an inner wall of the mounting groove 112 is provided with a limiting portion 1123, and the detergent dispensing device 120 is provided with a positioning structure, the limiting portion 1123 and the positioning structure cooperate to limit the movement of the dispensing box 121 relative to the mounting groove 112. Thus, by cooperation of the limiting portion 1123 and the positioning structure, the dispensing box 121 can be mounted with the mounting groove 112, for example, detachable connection of the dispensing box 121 with the mounting groove 112, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and is convenient for maintenance and cleaning of the detergent dispensing device 120.

[0072] Further, the limiting portion 1123 and the positioning structure can be provided as a convex portion and / or a concave portion to realize a clamping connection, a plug-in connection, a hooking connection and the like with the dispensing box 121.

[0073] In some possible implementation embodiments provided by the present disclosure, the detergent dispensing device 120 includes the dispensing box 121 for containing the detergent, wherein a top end of the dispensing box 121 is provided with a liquid inlet 1212, the positioning structure includes a flange structure provided on a peripheral side of the liquid inlet 1212 of the dispensing box 121, and the limiting portion 1123 can be a boss structure. Thus, by cooperation of the flange structure on the peripheral side of the liquid inlet 1212 of the dispensing box 121 with the boss structure, the dispensing box 121 can be disassembled and assembled with the mounting groove 112, which is simple to operate, and the flange structure and the boss structure are easy to process and have low cost. Meanwhile, the flange structure is convenient for a user to hold, so that the user can hold the flange structure to conveniently move the dispensing box 121. The liquid outlet 1211 of the detergent dispensing device 120 can be arranged at a bottom of the dispensing box 121.

[0074] As shown in FIG. 15, in the above embodiment, the flange structure near the water seal ring 111 is located below the mounting port 1121, that is, the side of the dispensing box 121 near the water seal ring 111 is located inside the mounting groove 112, and the movement of the dispensing box 121 relative to the mounting groove 112 is limited by the cooperation of the flange structure and the limiting portion 1123 inside the mounting groove 112. Since the water seal ring 111 is used to seal the door seal 320, and the water outlet 321 is arranged on the door seal 320, that is, the side of the dispensing box 121 near the water outlet 321 is located inside the mounting groove 112, thereby making the side wall of the mounting groove 112 between the liquid inlet 1212 and the mounting port 1121 have a certain guiding effect on water. For example, the water discharged by the water outlet 321 flows into the dispensing box 121 through the mounting port 1121 and the liquid inlet 1212, and then splashes out. After being shielded and guided by the side wall of the mounting groove 112 between the liquid inlet 1212 and the mounting port 1121 near the water seal ring 111, the water can more smoothly and more completely return to the dispensing box 121 through the liquid inlet 1212, reducing the possibility of the water splashing out of the dispensing box 121 after being splashed by the dispensing box 121, improving the flow of water flowing into the dispensing box 121, and further enabling the detergent in the dispensing box 121 to be fully and quickly mixed with water to improve the uniformity of the mixture of the detergent and water.

[0075] Further, the flange structure of the dispensing box 121 away from the water seal ring 111 is located above the mounting port 1121, so that the flange structure of the dispensing box 121 away from the water outlet 321 can be overlapped and clamped above the mounting port 1121 of the mounting groove 112. Thus, the user can quickly realize the disassembly and assembly of the dispensing box 121 and the mounting groove 112 through the flange structure above the mounting port 1121, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0076] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 15, in some examples, the detergent dispensing device 120 further comprises a siphon structure 122 installed inside the dispensing box 121 to improve the thoroughness of liquid discharge of the dispensing box 121. Specifically, the siphon structure 122 comprises a siphon pipe 1221 and a siphon cap 1222. The pipe bottom end of the siphon pipe 1221 is in communication with the liquid outlet 1211, and the siphon cap 1222 is sleeved outside the siphon pipe 1221 from the pipe top end of the siphon pipe 1221. The passage formed between the inner wall of the siphon cap 1222 and the outer wall of the siphon pipe 1221 and the passage inside the siphon pipe 1221 are in communication and jointly form a siphon passage. Thus, the inside of the dispensing box 121 and the liquid outlet 1211 are connected by the siphon passage to provide a passage for liquid flow.

[0077] Specifically, when the liquid level in the dispensing box 121 exceeds the top end of the siphon tube 1221, a siphon phenomenon occurs, and the liquid in the dispensing box 121 flows into the passage between the inner wall of the siphon cap 1222 and the outer wall of the siphon tube 1221, and then flows into the passage inside the siphon tube 1221 through the top end of the siphon tube 1221, and then flows out through the bottom end of the siphon tube 1221 and the liquid outlet 1211, so as to ensure the thoroughness of the liquid in the dispensing box 121, reduce the possibility of liquid remaining in the dispensing box 121, and provide the cleanliness of the dispensing box 121. The direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 15 is the flow direction of the liquid.

[0078] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, in some possible implemented embodiments provided by the present disclosure, the mounting port 1121 is located at the top of the door glass 110, wherein the direction of the top can be understood as vertically upward, that is, the top of the door glass 110 can be understood as the side of the door glass 110 close to the top of the laundry treating apparatus 300. Arranging the mounting port 1121 at the top of the door glass 110 facilitates the detachable connection of the detergent dispensing device 120 and the mounting groove 112 through the mounting port 1121. Further, due to the arrangement of the mounting port 1121 at the top of the door glass 110, the water discharged from the water outlet 321 of the door seal 320 can smoothly and accurately flow into the mounting groove 112 through the mounting port 1121 at the top of the door glass 110 under the action of gravity and impact force, so as to realize the water supply operation on the detergent dispensing device 120.

[0079] Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the detergent dispensing device 120 includes a liquid inlet 1212 at the top, which can be opposite to the mounting port 1121. In this way, the water discharged from the water outlet 321 of the door seal 320 can smoothly and accurately flow into the liquid inlet 1212 of the detergent dispensing device 120 through the mounting port 1121 at the top of the door glass 110 under the action of gravity and impact force, so as to realize the water supply operation on the detergent dispensing device 120.

[0080] As shown in FIG. 9, in some embodiments provided by the present disclosure, the installation opening 1121 is staggered with the air vent on the door seal 320 when the door glass 110 seals the door seal 320. In this case, the air vent on the door seal 320 can be used for air ventilation in the clothes containing cavity. For example, the clothes treatment apparatus 300 can include a drying function, and the air vent of the door seal 320 is located in the drying channel. Since the air flow passing through the air vent has a high temperature, for example, the temperature of the air flow passing through the air vent sometimes reaches 80℃. If the installation opening 1121 of the installation slot 112 of the door glass 110 is arranged opposite to the air vent on the door seal 320, the high-temperature air flow discharged from the air vent will blow on the detergent dispenser 120 in the installation slot 112 for a long time, which will affect the service life of the detergent dispenser 120. Therefore, in the present embodiment, by staggering the installation opening 1121 with the air vent on the door seal 320 when the door seal 320 is sealed by the water seal ring 111, the influence of the high-temperature air flow discharged from the air vent on the detergent dispenser 120 in the installation slot 112 is reduced, which is beneficial to improve the service life of the detergent dispenser 120, and further improve the overall reliability of the door body assembly 100.

[0081] Specifically, the installation opening 1121 can be arranged at the middle position of the top of the door glass 110, and the air vent can be arranged at a position deviating from the middle of the door seal 320, so as to stagger the installation opening 1121 with the air vent. Alternatively, the installation opening 1121 can be arranged at a position deviating from the middle of the top of the door glass 110, and the air vent can be arranged at a position at the middle of the door seal 320, so as to stagger the installation opening 1121 with the air vent.

[0082] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, in some possible implementation embodiments provided by the present disclosure, the door body assembly 100 further includes a door body outer frame 130. The door glass 110 is connected with the door body outer frame 130 and located at a side of the door body outer frame 130 facing the inside of the clothes containing cavity. The door body outer frame 130 provides an installation position and installation space for the installation of the door glass 110. It can be understood that the door body outer frame 130 is also pivotally connected with the machine body 310, so that the entire door body assembly 100 is rotatable relative to the machine body 310, so as to seal or move away from the door seal 320 by using the door glass 110, to achieve the closing and opening of the clothes feeding opening on the machine body 310.

[0083] The door body outer frame 130 is provided with a viewing window 131 and a through slot 132. The viewing window 131 is used to observe the inside of the laundry containing cavity through the door glass 110. The through slot 132 is used to mount other components of the door body assembly 100. The door body assembly 100 further comprises a display panel assembly 150, which is mounted on the door body outer frame 130 through the through slot 132. The projection of the viewing window 131 and the through slot 132 on the axial direction of the water sealing ring 111 is located inside the water sealing ring 111. The projection of the through slot 132 on the axial direction of the water sealing ring 111 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the mounting slot 112 on the axial direction of the water sealing ring 111. Thus, when the water sealing ring 111 seals the door seal 320, the inside of the laundry containing cavity can be observed through the door glass 110 through the viewing window 131. The projection of the through slot 132 on the axial direction of the water sealing ring 111 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the mounting slot 112 on the axial direction of the water sealing ring 111, so that the through slot 132 can reasonably use the arrangement position of the mounting slot 112, and the two at least partially overlap on the axial direction of the water sealing ring 111. The overall coverage of the through slot 132 and the mounting slot 112 on the door glass 110 is reduced, so that the door glass 110 has sufficient free area opposite to the viewing window 131, so that the inside of the laundry containing cavity can be clearly and comprehensively observed through the viewing window 131 and the door glass 110.

[0084] The projection of the through slot 132 on the axial direction of the water sealing ring 111 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the mounting slot 112 on the axial direction of the water sealing ring 111. It can be understood that the projection of the through slot 132 on the axial direction of the water sealing ring 111 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the mounting slot 112 on the axial direction of the water sealing ring 111. Alternatively, the projection of the through slot 132 on the axial direction of the water sealing ring 111 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the mounting slot 112 on the axial direction of the water sealing ring 111. Partially overlapping and partially not overlapping can meet the requirements of different shapes and different positions of the through slot 132 and the mounting slot 112.

[0085] Further, the circumferential side of the door body outer frame 130 is further provided with a hand holding position 133. The user can rotate the door body outer frame 130 relative to the machine body 310 through the hand holding position 133 to open or close the laundry throwing opening. Specifically, the hand holding position 133 can be a groove to improve the aesthetics of the door body outer frame 130.

[0086] As shown in FIG. 6, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, in some possible implementation embodiments provided by the present disclosure, the door body assembly 100 further comprises a decorative cover 140 connected with the door body outer frame 130, for shielding at least part of the through slot 132. Since the projection of the through slot 132 and the installation slot 112 on the axial direction of the water sealing ring 111 at least partially coincide, a user in front of the laundry treatment apparatus 300 can directly observe the detergent dispenser 120 located in the installation slot 112 of the door glass 110 through the through slot 132, thereby affecting the aesthetic appearance of the apparatus. In the present embodiment, by arranging the decorative cover 140 between the door body outer frame 130 and the door glass 110, and shielding at least part of the through slot 132 by the decorative cover 140, the detergent dispenser 120 located in the installation slot 112 is well shielded, so that the user can observe the decorative cover 140 through the through slot 132, and the possibility of the user directly observing the detergent dispenser 120 located in the installation slot 112 of the door glass 110 through the through slot 132 is reduced, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the apparatus.
