A water flushing port 2120 is provided on the bottom wall of the dissolution box 200 and communicates with the circulation flow channel 160. Wherein an external water flow flushes dissolution chamber 210 through the water jet and water jet 2120. It should be understood herein that water burst port 2120 refers to a port through which water flows from circulation flow channel 160 into dissolution chamber 210, and water return port 2112 refers to a port through which water flows from dissolution chamber 210 back into circulation flow channel 160.

The operation of the detergent dissolving apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 8.

Before the water inflow starts, the user puts detergent into the dissolution chamber 210 of the dissolution box 200.

After water starts to enter through the water inlet 110, water at the water source enters the flushing channel 150, the circulating channel 160 and the water spraying port respectively.

As shown in fig. 3, the water flowing through the water jet flows into the dissolution chamber 210, flushing the dissolution chamber 210.

As shown in fig. 2, the water introduced into the circulation flow path 160 is guided to the lower side of the dissolution box 200, is introduced into the dissolution box 200 through the water inflow port 2120 formed at the bottom wall of the dissolution box 200, dissolves the detergent in the dissolution chamber 210, then flows back to the circulation flow path 160 through the water return port 2112, is guided to the lower side of the dissolution box 200 again, and circulates and dissolves the detergent in the dissolution chamber 210, and part of the water flows during the circulation is collected into the flushing flow path 150 through the circulation outlet 520.

As shown in fig. 1, the water introduced into the washing flow path 150 washes the washing flow path 150, and washes the water introduced into the washing flow path 150 through the circulation outlet 520 into the tub of the washing machine through the water outlet 120 together.

According to the detergent dissolving device 1 of the embodiment of the invention, by arranging the water spray port, water at a water source can wash the dissolving cavity 210 after entering the dissolving cavity 210 through the water spray port, so that the dissolution of the detergent in the dissolving cavity 210 is accelerated.

In addition, by providing the water inflow port 2120, the water flow guided to the lower part of the dissolution box 200 can flow into the dissolution cavity 210 through the water inflow port 2120, not only can the detergent at the lower part of the dissolution cavity 210 be dissolved, but also upward water flow can be generated in the dissolution cavity 210, on one hand, the detergent at the bottom of the dissolution cavity 210 can be pushed to the upper part of the dissolution cavity 210, on the other hand, water flows in different directions can be formed in the dissolution cavity 210 under the combined action of the water flows through the water spray ports, so that the detergent is stirred by the water flows in different directions, the dissolution and foaming of the detergent are promoted, and the washing effect of the detergent is further improved.

In addition, by providing the detergent box 100 and the dissolution box 200, the water inlet 110 and the water outlet 120 are provided on the detergent box 100, and the water spray port and the water inflow port 2120 are provided on the dissolution box 200, the dissolution box 200 can be flushed with water flow entering the water inlet 110, and after dissolving the detergent, the detergent flows out through the water outlet 120 to participate in washing. Thus, the detergent placed in the dissolution box 200 is fully dissolved in the dissolution chamber 210 by the water flow and then discharged to participate in the washing, so that the solubility of the detergent can be improved.

By providing the circulation flow path 160, water entering the water inlet 110 can be guided to the lower side of the dissolution box 200 by the circulation flow path 160, so that water can flow from the water inflow port 2120 into the dissolution chamber 210 and back into the circulation flow path 160 through the water return port 2112. Thus, water flow can circularly flow in the circulation flow channel 160 and the dissolution cavity 210, so that the circulating water flow is utilized to continuously dissolve the detergent in the dissolution cavity 210, the solubility of the detergent is further improved, and the detergent can be fully dissolved.

Further, by providing the flushing flow path 150, the flushing flow path 150 can be flushed with a water flow. Thus, when the dissolved detergent in the circulation flow channel 160 is collected into the flushing flow channel 150 along with the water flow through the circulation outlet 520, the dissolved detergent can be flushed into the washing barrel of the washing machine to be used for washing. Therefore, the detergent can be prevented from remaining in the detergent dissolving device 1, waste of the detergent is avoided, and the utilization rate of the detergent is ensured.

Therefore, the detergent dissolving apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention has advantages of high dissolution speed, high solubility, and the like.

The water entering the water inlet 110 can be split by utilizing the water distribution cavity 130, so that water flows can flow into different flow channels conveniently, and the water inlet 110 is communicated with a water source, so that the water entering the detergent dissolving device 1 can be completed by only one water inlet waterway, the water inlet structure for connecting the detergent dissolving device 1 can be simplified, the installation of the detergent dissolving device 1 is facilitated, and the installation and manufacturing cost of the washing machine are reduced.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the number of the impingement water flow holes 132 may be two and located at both sides of the circulation inlet 131, so that the water flow rate in the flushing flow path 150 can be ensured to ensure the flushing effect on the flushing flow path 150, and prevent the detergent from remaining in the flushing flow path 150. The thrust inlet 133 may be disposed adjacent to a sidewall of the water distribution chamber 130 and the cross-sectional area of the thrust inlet 133 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the circulation inlet 131 and the cross-sectional area of the impingement water flow hole 132. Thereby ensuring the flow rate of the water in the thrust water inlet pipe 300, thereby facilitating the flushing of the dissolution chamber 210 by the water.

More specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the detergent box 100 is provided with a thrust runner 140, and the thrust runner 140 communicates with the thrust inlet 133 and the thrust inlet pipe 300, respectively. This can facilitate communication between the thrust water inlet pipe 300 and the thrust inlet 133, and also can facilitate guiding the water flow in the vertical direction to the horizontal direction, thereby facilitating ensuring the direction of the water flow flowing out of the thrust water inlet pipe 300.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 1, 4 and 6, the flushing flow channel 150 is provided with a detergent automatic feeding port 151 and a softener automatic feeding port 152. Thus, the user can not only realize the addition of the detergent by adding the detergent into the dissolution box 200, but also automatically add other detergents such as the softener into the flushing channel 150 by utilizing the automatic detergent adding port 151 and the automatic softener adding port 152, thereby being convenient for realizing different washing functions.

Advantageously, as shown in fig. 2 and 8, a plurality of flushing projections 510 are provided on the bottom wall of the circulation flow channel 160. This causes the water stream to scatter as it is flushed onto the flush protrusion 510, further accelerating the dissolution of the detergent and promoting foaming of the detergent.

More advantageously, as shown in fig. 1-4, a plurality of arcuate flow straightening ribs 610 are provided on the bottom wall of the flush channel 150. Therefore, the arc-shaped rectifying ribs 610 can be utilized to guide water flow, so that water flow converging collision can be promoted, detergent is further promoted to be dissolved, foam can be further promoted to be generated by the detergent, and the washing effect is improved.
