The present invention relates to the technical field of washing apparatuses, and specifically provides a water inlet
system for a washing apparatus, and a washing apparatus, aiming to solve the problem of the poor
dissolution effect of detergents or fabric softeners caused by direct dispensing of the treatment agents or entering with
water flow in the prior art. In the present invention, the water inlet
system for a washing apparatus comprises a detergent storage cavity, a
fabric softener storage cavity, a pump device, water inlet
piping, and a first switching valve, a second switching valve and a buffering cavity that are arranged sequentially on the water inlet
piping, wherein the detergent storage cavity and the
fabric softener storage cavity are both in communication with the first switching valve, a suction port of the pump device is in communication with the second switching valve, and an outlet of the pump device is in communication with the water inlet
piping between the second switching valve and the buffering cavity. In the present invention, by means of the combined arrangement of the detergent storage cavity,
fabric softener storage cavity, pump device, first switching valve, second switching valve, and buffering cavity, a treatment agent can be mixed with water in advance for
dissolution, thereby dissolving the treatment agent in advance, and improving the washing effect while reducing damage to
laundry.
