For another example, the fifth elastic member 109 may be located between the second flange 163 and the mounting member 142.
It is noted that, in the case where the fifth elastic member 109 is located between the first flange 162 and the mounting member 142, the fifth elastic member 109 causes the operating member 16 to be pushed upward in the initial state of the operating member 16, and in the case where the operating member 16 is pressed, the fifth elastic member 109 is in the contracted state.
With the fifth resilient member 109 positioned between the second flange 163 and the mounting member 142, the fifth resilient member 109 urges the operating member 16 downward into contact with the first linkage 111 with the operating member 16 in the initial state. This reduces the portion of the operating member 16 exposed to the dispenser 10, thereby reducing the space occupied by the dispenser 10 and enhancing the aesthetic appearance. With the first linkage 111 separated from the second linkage 112, the operating member 16 can be lifted upward by the first linkage 111.
The fifth elastic element 109 includes a spring, a leaf spring, or other elastic elements. The specific structure of the fifth elastic member 109 is not limited herein.
Further, the cross-sectional areas of the first flange 162 and the second flange 163 are the same and are each larger than the cross-sectional area of the mounting part 142, so that it is possible to prevent the first flange 162 and the second flange 163 from passing through the mounting part 142. The normal operation of the operating member 16 is ensured. Of course, in other embodiments, the cross-sectional areas of the first flange 162 and the second flange 163 may be the same or different, and it is only necessary that the cross-sectional areas of the first flange 162 and the second flange 163 are larger than the cross-sectional area of the mounting member 142. And are not limited herein.
Referring to fig. 18 to 23, in some embodiments, the operating member 16 is provided with an operating surface 164, and the operating surface 164 is a curved surface.
By the arrangement, a user can better use the operating part 16, and the user experience is improved.
Further, the operation surface 164 may be provided with an anti-slip structure, so as to increase the friction coefficient of the operation surface 164, thereby facilitating the use of the user.
The anti-slip structure may be formed by providing a rubber layer on the operation surface 164, or by directly providing a concave-convex structure on the operation surface 164, or by providing another anti-slip member. The specific type of anti-slip structure is not limited herein.
In the present embodiment, the first receiving chamber 101 and the second receiving chamber 102 are provided in parallel. Further, in the embodiment in the drawings, the first receiving cavity 101 and the second receiving cavity 102 are aligned in the moving direction of the cover 13 (the arrow B in fig. 1 to 3 indicates the moving direction of the cover 13).
The second receiving cavity 102 is opened with a throwing port (not shown). For explanation and explanation of the second dosing port, reference is made to the description of charging port 1013 above. To avoid redundancy, it is not described herein.
In the example of fig. 2 and 3, the first receiving cavity 1011 and the second receiving cavity 1021 are each substantially rectangular parallelepiped. The charging port 1013 and the charging port are both substantially rectangular. It is understood that in other embodiments, the first receiving cavity 1011 and the second receiving cavity 1021 may have other regular or irregular shapes, and the charging port 1013 and the input port may have other regular or irregular shapes. And are not limited herein.
The operation of the first linkage 111 is explained below:
manner in which the first opening 1012 is opened:
when the driving device 12 is powered on, the second linkage structure 112 is driven to move for the first time, and when the second linkage structure 112 moves, the second linkage structure 112 is separated from the first stopper 11121, and at this time, the first elastic element 105 drives the first member 103 to apply an elastic force so that the first member 103 opens the first opening 1012.
There are two ways in which the first opening 1012 may be closed, and two different ways are explained below:
under the condition that the third connecting piece 1113 is arranged, the cover 13 is driven to move from the second position to the first position, in the process that the cover 13 moves from the second position to the first position, the rib 1342 moves towards the direction close to the boss 1521, after the rib 1342 abuts against the boss 1521, the cover 13 continues to slide, at the moment, the rib 1342 drives the boss 1521 to move together, and then drives the third connecting piece 1113 to move, so that the first limiting portion 11121 is connected with the second linkage structure 112, at the moment, the third connecting piece 1113 can drive the second connecting piece 1112 and the first connecting piece 1111 to move, and under the condition that the first connecting piece 1111 moves, the first part 103 is driven to move to close the first opening 1012.
Under the condition that the third connecting part 1113 is not arranged, the operating part 16 is pressed, so that the operating part 16 drives the second connecting part 1112 to move, so that the first limiting part 11121 is connected with the second linkage structure 112, at this time, the second connecting part 1112 can drive the first connecting part 1111 to move, and under the condition that the first connecting part 1111 moves, the first part 103 is driven to move to close the first opening 1012.
Referring to fig. 11 to 16, in some embodiments, the second linkage structure 112 may include a fourth connection part 1121 and a fifth connection part 1122 fixedly connected to the fourth connection part 1121, the fourth connection part 1121 is connected to the driving device 12, the fifth connection part 1122 is provided with a second position-limiting part 11221, and the second position-limiting part 11221 is connected to the first linkage structure 111 so as to close the first opening 1012 by the first component 103.
When the driving device 12 drives the fourth connecting member 1121 to move for the first time, the fourth connecting member 1121 drives the fifth connecting member 1122 to move so as to separate the second position-limiting portion 11221 from the first linkage structure 111, so that the first opening 1012 is opened by the first member 103.
With such an arrangement, when the driving device 12 drives the fourth connecting element 1121 to move for the first time, the second limiting portion 11221 can be separated from the first linkage structure 111, so that the first opening 1012 is opened by the first component 103, that is, the opening of the first opening 1012 can be realized by driving the fourth connecting element 1121 to move for the first time by the driving device 12, and the structure is simple and easy to realize.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the second stopper portion 11221 is connected to or separated from the first stopper portion 11121. In one example, the first position-limiting portion 11121 may be a positive hook, the second position-limiting portion 11221 may be a barb, and the positive hook is hooked with the barb to connect the first position-limiting portion 11121 and the second position-limiting portion 11221, so that the first position-limiting portion 11121 and the second position-limiting portion 11221 cannot move relative to each other. When the second linkage structure 112 moves, the positive hook and the barb can be separated to separate the first stopper part 11121 and the second stopper part 11221, so that the first stopper part 11121 and the second stopper part 11221 can move relatively. Of course, the first position-limiting part 11121 may not only be a positive hook, but also the second position-limiting part 11221 may not only be a barb, and the specific structural types of the first position-limiting part 11121 and the second position-limiting part 11221 may be set according to different situations. And is not limited thereto. It is only necessary that the first stopper portion 11121 and the second stopper portion 11221 can be connected or separated.
In some embodiments, the fourth connecting member 1121 and the fifth connecting member 1122 may be formed separately or integrally. And are not limited herein. The design can be specifically designed according to the actual situation. In the example shown in the figures, the fourth connection 1121 and the fifth connection 1122 are in a vertical state. It is understood that in other examples, the angle of the fourth connection 1121 and the fifth connection 1122 can also be obtuse or acute. The specific angle ranges of the fourth connection member 1121 and the fifth connection member 1122 are not limited herein.
Referring to fig. 4 to 7, in some embodiments, the driving device 12 is disposed above the fourth connection part 1121, and the driving device 12 is configured to drive the fourth connection part 1121 to move up and down to enable the second linkage structure 112 to move.
Referring to fig. 9 and 10, in some embodiments, the driving device 12 may be further disposed at the right side of the fourth connection part 1121, and the driving device 12 is used for driving the fourth connection part 1121 to move left and right to move the second linkage structure 112.
It is understood that in other embodiments, the specific position of the driving device 12 can be set according to different situations, for example, the driving device 12 is disposed below the fourth connection part 1121, or the driving device 12 is disposed to the left of the fourth connection part 1121, or the driving device 12 is disposed obliquely with respect to the fourth connection part, or the driving device is set with respect to another reference structure. In general, the driving device 12 can drive the second linkage structure 112 to move. The specific position of the drive device 12 is not limited herein.
Further, one end of the fourth connecting member 1121 is provided with an engaging portion 11211, the driving device 12 includes a driving member 121 and a pushing rod 122 movably connected to the driving member 121, and under the condition that the pushing rod 122 is partially engaged with the engaging portion 11211, the driving member 121 is configured to drive the pushing rod 122 to move, so as to drive the fourth connecting member 1121 to move. Wherein, the movement refers to the telescopic movement of the push rod 122 relative to the driving member 121.
In this way, the fourth connection part 1121 is connected to the driving device 12 through the fitting part 11211 and the push rod 122, so that the driving device 12 drives the fourth connection part 1121 to move. Specifically, the housing of the driving member 121 is formed with a through hole, and the driving member 121 can drive the push rod 122 to be pushed out or retracted from the through hole.
Further, the push rod 122 includes a body 1221 and a stopper 1222, the stopper 1222 is disposed at an end of the push rod 122 away from the driving element 121, the fitting portion 11211 surrounds the body 1221, and the stopper 1222 abuts against a side of the fitting portion 11211, so that the push rod 122 is connected to the fourth connecting element 1121. In this way, the stopper 1222 ensures that the fourth connection 1121 and the driving device 12 cannot be disengaged.
The push rod 122 may further include a fitting portion 1223, the fitting portion 1223 is disposed at an end of the body portion 1221 facing away from the stopper portion 1222, and the fitting portion 1223 abuts against the other side of the fitting portion 11211. The engaging portion 1223 engages with the position-limiting portion 1222 to further limit the moving range of the fourth connection 1121.
Therefore, the fourth connection member 1121 is allowed to move between the engagement portion 1223 and the limit portion 1222, which not only prevents the linkage from being inaccurate due to the excessive movement range of the fourth connection member 1121, but also provides a space for the movement of the fourth connection member 1121. It is understood that in other examples, the mating portion 1223 may be omitted.
The size of the body portion 1221 is smaller than the size of the stopper portion 1222. Specifically, the cross-sectional area of the body portion 1221 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the stopper portion 1222.
In addition, in the illustrated example, the fitting recess 11212 includes a fitting opening. During the assembling process, the push rod 122 can be inserted into the fitting portion 11211 through the fitting opening, so as to connect the fourth connecting member 1121 with the driving device 12.
Of course, the fitting recess 11212 may also include a fitting hole. During the assembling process, the body 1221 of the push rod 122 can be inserted into the fitting portion 11211 through the fitting hole, and after the body 1221 is inserted into the fitting portion 11211, the stopper 1222 can be fixed to a side of the body 1221 away from the fitting portion 1223, so as to connect the fourth connecting member 1121 with the driving device 12. Specifically, the stopper portion 1222 may be welded, adhered, or otherwise fixed to a side of the body portion 1221 away from the mating portion 1223.
Further, the fitting hole may be a circular hole, an elliptical hole, a square hole, or a hole of other shape. The specific shape of the fitting hole is not limited herein.
Referring further to fig. 11 to 16, in some embodiments, the first linkage structure 111 may include a third position-limiting portion 1114, and when the second position-limiting portion 11221 is connected to the first linkage structure 111, the third position-limiting portion 1114 is connected to the third linkage structure 113 to close the second opening 1022 with the second member 104 and separate the fifth connecting member 1122 from the third linkage structure 113.
When the driving device 12 drives the fourth connecting member 1121 to move for the first time, the fourth connecting member 1121 drives the fifth connecting member 1122 to move so as to separate the third limiting portion 1114 from the third linkage structure 113, and thus the fifth connecting member 1122 is connected to the third linkage structure 113.
With such an arrangement, the third limiting portion 1114 is arranged to limit the movement of the third linkage 113, so that the third linkage 113 can be maintained in a state of closing the second opening 1022, thereby preventing the third linkage 113 from opening the second opening 1022 by mistake, and ensuring the normal operation of the dispenser 10.
Referring to fig. 24, in some embodiments, the dispenser 10 may include a second resilient member 106 coupled to the second linkage 112, the second resilient member 106 being configured to urge the second linkage 112 to move to a position coupled to the first linkage 111.
The arrangement is such that the second linkage structure 112 can drive the second linkage structure 112 to move to the position connected with the first linkage structure 111, thereby realizing the reset function.
When the driving device 12 drives the fourth connecting part 1121 to move for the first time, the second limiting part 11221 is separated from the first limiting part 11121, so that the first opening 1012 is opened by the first component 103, when the first opening 1012 is opened by the first component 103, the first component 103 moves to drive the first connecting part 1111 to move, and further drive the second connecting part 1112 and the third connecting part 1113 to move, at this time, the first limiting part 11121 is separated from the second limiting part 11221, and when the driving device 12 is powered off, the second elastic part 106 can drive the second linkage structure 112 to move, so that the second linkage structure 112 moves to a position where the second linkage structure 112 is connected with the first linkage structure 111. That is, the second elastic member 106 is used to achieve the restoration of the second linkage 112.
Specifically, one end of the second elastic member 106 abuts against the mounting plate 14, and the other end of the second elastic member 106 abuts against the second linkage 112. The second elastic member 106 includes a torsion spring, a spring plate, or other elastic elements. In the present embodiment, the second elastic member 106 is a torsion spring.
Further, the other end of the second elastic member 106 is connected to a fifth elastic member 109.
The operation of the second linkage 112 is explained below:
manner in which the first opening 1012 is opened:
when the driving device 12 is powered on, the second linkage structure 112 is driven to move for the first time, and when the second linkage structure 112 moves, the second linkage structure 112 is separated from the first limiting portion 11121, at this time, the first elastic element 105 drives the first part 103 to apply elastic force so as to open the first opening 1012 on the first part 103, at this time, the driving device 12 is powered off, and the second elastic element 106 drives the second linkage structure 112 to move to a position connected with the first linkage structure 111.
There are two ways in which the first opening 1012 may be closed, and two different ways are explained below:
when the third connecting member 1113 is disposed, the cover 13 is driven to move from the second position to the first position, the rib 1342 moves toward the direction close to the protrusion 1521 when the cover 13 moves from the second position to the first position, the cover 13 continues to slide after the rib 1342 abuts against the protrusion 1521, at this time, the rib 1342 drives the protrusion 1521 to move together, and further drives the third connecting member 1113 to move, the second connecting member 1112 is driven to move during the movement of the third connecting member 1113, the second linking structure 112 is driven to move under the movement of the second connecting member 1112, so that the first limiting portion 11121 moves toward the second limiting portion 11221, and the second elastic member 106 drives the second linking structure 112 to move to the position connected with the first linking structure 111, so that the first limiting portion 11121 and the second limiting portion 11221 form a stable connection, at this time, the third connecting part 1113 is movable to drive the second connecting part 1112 and the first connecting part 1111 to move, and in the case that the first connecting part 1111 is movable, the first part 103 is driven to move to close the first opening 1012.
Under the condition that the third connecting part 1113 is not arranged, the operating part 16 is pressed, so that the operating part 16 drives the second connecting part 1112 to move, the second connecting part 1112 can drive the second linkage structure 112 to move, so that the first limiting part 11121 moves towards the second limiting part 11221, the second elastic part 106 can drive the second linkage structure 112 to move to the position connected with the first linkage structure 111, so that the first limiting part 11121 and the second limiting part 11221 form stable connection, at the moment, the second connecting part 1112 can drive the first connecting part 1111 to move, and under the condition that the first connecting part 1111 moves, the first part 103 is driven to move to close the first opening 1012.
Referring to fig. 11 to 16, in some embodiments, the third linkage structure 113 may include a sixth connecting member 1131, the sixth connecting member 1131 is movably connected to the second member 104, and the sixth connecting member 1131 is provided with a first connecting portion 11311 and a second connecting portion 11312.
The first linkage 111 connects the first connection portion 11311 to close the second opening 1022 with the second component 104 and to separate the second linkage 112 from the second connection portion 11312.
In the case that the driving device 12 drives the second linkage 112 to move for the first time, the first linkage 111 is separated from the first connection portion 11311 to connect the second linkage 112 to the second connection portion 11312.
When the first connection portion 11311 is connected to the first linkage 111, the second component 104 is maintained in a state of closing the second opening 1022, thereby preventing the second component 104 from mistakenly opening the second opening 1022, and ensuring the operation stability of the washing appliance 100.
Further, in a case where the third stopper 1114 is connected to the first connection portion 11311, the second member 104 closes the second opening 1022 and the second linkage 112 is separated from the second connection portion 11312. The first connection portions 11311 are formed with inclined surfaces, and the arrangement of the inclined surfaces enables the third limiting portions 1114 to move better relative to the first connection portions 11311 so that the third limiting portions 1114 are separated from the first connection portions 11311.
In some embodiments, in the case that the driving device 12 drives the second linkage 112 to move for the first time, the second linkage 112 is used to move the sixth connecting part 1131 towards the second linkage 112 so as to connect the second linkage 112 with the second connecting part 11312.
Therefore, the driving device 12 drives the second linkage structure 112 to move for the first time, so that the second linkage structure 112 is connected with the second connecting portion 11312, and the structure is simple and convenient to implement.
In some embodiments, in the case that the driving device 12 drives the second linkage 112 to move again, the second linkage 112 is used to drive the sixth connector 1131 to translate through the second connecting portion 11312 so as to make the second component 104 open the second opening 1022.
In this way, the driving device 12 drives the second linkage 112 again to move, so that the sixth connecting element 1131 translates to open the second opening 1022 through the second component 104, which is simple and convenient to implement.
As can be seen from the above description, when the driving device 12 drives the second linkage 112 to move for the first time, the second opening 1022 is in a closed state. In the case that the driving device 12 drives the second linkage 112 to move again, the second opening 1022 is in the open state. This allows the cleaning consumables to be sequentially dispensed by the single driving device 12, thereby improving the washing effect of the washing appliance 100 and simplifying the structure of the dispenser 10.
Referring to fig. 11 and 12, in some embodiments, the sixth connecting element 1131 may be formed with a first guiding structure 11313, the second linking structure 112 is formed with a second guiding structure 1123, the first guiding structure 11313 is movably connected to the second guiding structure 1123, and the first guiding structure 11313 cooperates with the second guiding structure 1123 to guide the movement of the sixth connecting element 1131 and the second linking structure 112.
In this way, the first guide structure 11313 and the second guide structure 1123 are arranged to guide the sixth connecting element 1131 and the second linkage structure 112 to move, and the structure is simple and easy to implement.
Wherein the second guiding structure 1123 is located on the fifth connecting member 1122.
In this embodiment, the first guiding structure 11313 may include a guiding slot, the guiding slot penetrates through the sixth connecting element 1131, the second guiding structure 1123 includes a first protrusion, the first protrusion may pass through the guiding slot so that the first protrusion is movable in the guiding slot, and the guiding slot is used for guiding the first protrusion to prevent the first protrusion from disengaging from the sixth connecting element 1131, which may cause the second linkage 112 and the sixth connecting element 1131 to have linkage failure.
In other embodiments, the first guide structure 11313 may include a first tab and the second guide structure 1123 may include a guide slot. The specific type of first guide structure 11313 and second guide structure 1123 is not limited herein. It is only necessary that the first guiding structure 11313 and the second guiding structure 1123 cooperate to guide the sixth connecting element 1131 and the second linking structure 112 to move.
In this embodiment, the first guide structure 11313 may be located between the first connection portion 11311 and the second connection portion 11312.
Furthermore, the fifth connecting element 1122 is formed with a second bump 11222, the second bump 11222 is juxtaposed with the first bump, and the distance from the first bump to the fifth connecting element 1122 is greater than the distance from the second bump 11222 to the fifth connecting element 1122.
In this embodiment, the second connecting portion 11312 may include a receiving groove, and the second bump 11222 may be located in the receiving groove.
When the driving device 12 drives the second linkage structure 112 to move for the first time, the first protrusion partially enters the guide groove, and the second protrusion 11222 partially enters the accommodating groove, and when the driving device 12 drives the second linkage structure 112 to move again, the first protrusion passes through the guide groove and is exposed outside the sixth connecting element 1131, the second protrusion 11222 is located in the accommodating groove and abuts against the inner wall of the accommodating groove, and with the driving of the driving device 12, the second protrusion 11222 further extrudes the accommodating groove to make the sixth connecting element 1131 translate downwards, so as to drive the third linkage structure 113 to move, and make the second opening 1022 opened by the second part 104.
Referring to fig. 11 to 18, in some embodiments, the dispenser 10 may include a third elastic member 107, the third linkage structure 113 includes a seventh connecting member 1132 and an eighth connecting member 1133, the seventh connecting member 1132 is movably connected to the sixth connecting member 1131 and the eighth connecting member 1133, the eighth connecting member 1133 is connected to the second component 104, and the third elastic member 107 is configured to drive the seventh elastic member to drive the eighth connecting member 1133 to close the second opening 1022 of the second component 104.
The third elastic member 107 is configured to drive the seventh coupling member 1132 to move so that the second member 104 maintains a state of closing the second opening 1022. In the case that the second linkage 112 is activated again by the driving device 12, the second linkage 112 can activate the third linkage 113 such that the second part 104 closes the second opening 1022. After the driving device 12 is powered off, the third elastic element 107 can drive the seventh elastic element to move, so that the second component 104 closes the second opening 1022. That is, in the case where the driving device 12 is operated again, the second member 104 opens the second opening 1022. In the case where the driving device 12 stops operating, the second member 104 can close the second opening 1022.
In the present embodiment, the sixth connector 1131 and the eighth connector 1133 are respectively located at both ends of the seventh connector 1132.
Specifically, one end of the third elastic member 107 abuts against the mounting plate 14, and the other end of the third elastic member 107 abuts against the seventh connecting member 1132. The third elastic member 107 includes a torsion spring, a spring plate or other elastic elements. In the present embodiment, the third elastic member 107 is a torsion spring.
Referring to fig. 24, in some embodiments, the dispenser 10 may include a fourth resilient member 108 coupled to a third linkage 113, the fourth resilient member 108 being configured to urge the third linkage 113 to a position coupled to the second linkage 112.
The fourth elastic element 108 is capable of driving the third linkage 113 to move so that the third linkage 113 is connected with the second linkage 112. That is, in the case that the driving device 12 drives the second linkage structure 112 to move for the first time, the third linkage structure 113 can be connected to the second linkage structure 112 under the driving of the fourth elastic element 108, so that no additional mechanism is required to drive the third linkage structure 113 to connect to the second linkage structure 112, and the structure of the dispenser 10 is simplified.
Specifically, one end of the fourth elastic member 108 abuts against the mounting plate 14, and the other end of the fourth elastic member 108 abuts against the sixth connecting member 1131. The fourth elastic member 108 includes a torsion spring, a spring plate or other elastic elements. In the present embodiment, the fourth elastic member 108 is a torsion spring.
The operation of the third linkage 113 is explained below:
manner in which the second opening 1022 is opened:
when the driving device 12 is powered on, the second linkage structure 112 is driven to move for the first time, and when the second linkage structure 112 moves, the second linkage structure 112 is separated from the first stopper 11121, at this time, the first elastic element 105 drives the first member 103 to apply an elastic force so that the first member 103 opens the first opening 1012, and at this time, the first guide structure 11313 is connected with the second guide structure 1123.
The driving device 12 drives the second linkage 112 to move again, and the second protrusion 11232 cooperates with the second connecting portion 11312 to drive the sixth connecting member 1131 to move, and drives the seventh connecting member 1132 and the eighth connecting member 1133 to move when the sixth connecting member 1131 moves, so that the second component 104 opens the second opening 1022.
There are two ways in which the second opening 1022 is closed, and two different ways are explained below:
