Detailed Description

For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.

As shown in fig. 1 to 10, the automatic feeding system for a washing machine of the embodiment comprises a shell 1, a drawer 2, a washing powder box 3, a lotion box 4 and a pumping mechanism 5, wherein a water outlet 11 is further arranged at the bottom of the shell 1, the front end part of the shell 1 is of an open structure, and the drawer 2 can be inserted into the shell 1 in a front-back push-pull manner; the washing powder box 3 is arranged in the drawer 2, the lotion box 4 is provided with a connection port 41 for outputting lotion, the connection port is connected with an inlet of the pumping mechanism 5, the lotion box 4 is detachably arranged on the drawer 2, and the lotion box 4 is also provided with a switchable cleaning port 42.

Specifically, in the use process of the automatic delivery system, the detergent is contained in the detergent box 4, the detergent can be pumped out through the pumping mechanism 5 and conveyed into the shell 1, and water introduced by the washing machine enters into the shell 1 to disperse and convey the detergent into the outer barrel of the washing machine for washing. Similarly, with respect to the detergent box 3, when washing, a user inputs a fixed amount of detergent into the detergent box according to the need of the laundry amount, and washes the detergent in the detergent box by using water introduced from the washing machine and conveys the detergent into the outer tub of the washing machine for washing. And after a long period of use, the inner wall of the wash tank 4 is prone to sticking a layer of scale of the laundry detergent. At this time, the user can pull the drawer 2 out of the casing 1 and detach the lotion cartridge 4 from the drawer 2; the user opens the cleaning opening 42 to extend a cleaning tool such as a brush into the lotion cartridge 4 to clean the scale formed in the lotion cartridge 4; the wash port 42 is then closed and the wash cassette 4 is then loaded into the drawer 2 for continued normal use. After cleaning the wash tub 4, the wash tub 4 may be filled with the laundry detergent, and then the washing port 42 may be closed to be installed in the drawer 2.

In order to clean the lotion cartridge 4 in a comprehensive and effective manner for the user, the front end portion of the lotion cartridge 4 is provided with a cleaning port 42, and the rear end portion of the lotion cartridge 4 is provided with the connection port. Specifically, the cleaning opening 42 and the connection opening are arranged in a back direction along the length direction of the lotion box 4, so that in the cleaning process of a user, the brush stretches into the lotion box 4 from the cleaning opening 42 to clean the scale on the inner wall more conveniently and comprehensively, and the cleaned scale can be discharged from the connection opening, so that the cleaning efficiency is improved. In order to facilitate opening and closing of the cleaning port 42, a detachable sealing plug 43 is provided on the cleaning port 42. Specifically, when the lotion cartridge 4 needs to be cleaned, the sealing plug 43 can be detached from the cleaning opening 42 to facilitate cleaning by a user, and in the use state of the automatic delivery system, the sealing plug 43 can reliably seal the cleaning opening 42 to avoid leakage of the detergent in the lotion cartridge 4.

In addition, in order to facilitate the installation and removal of the lotion cartridge 4, an installation groove 21 is provided on the drawer 2, and the lotion cartridge 4 is provided in the installation groove 21.

Wherein the number of cartridges 4 may be configured as desired, for example: the washing liquid and the softener are required to be dosed simultaneously, two lotion boxes 4 are correspondingly arranged, and simultaneously, two mounting grooves 21 are formed in the drawer 2 to meet the mounting requirements of the two lotion boxes 4.

Further, in order to improve the use reliability, the front end of the drawer 2 is of an open structure without moving the detergent box 4 at the same time in the process of adding the washing powder, and the washing powder box 3 can be inserted into the drawer 2 in a front-back push-pull manner. Specifically, the user pulls the detergent box 3 out of the drawer 2 during the process of adding detergent, and at this time, the drawer 2 is not pulled out of the casing 1, so that the detergent box 4 is still located in the casing 1 and remains connected to the pumping mechanism 5. Since the washing powder needs to be added when washing each time, the washing agent is automatically added according to the needs. The detergent in the detergent box 4 is usually filled for a plurality of times, and in each washing process, the user only needs to pull the detergent box 3 out of the drawer 2, and does not need to pull the drawer 2 integrally each time. In this way, the number of docking of the wash tank 4 with the pumping mechanism 5 can be effectively reduced to ensure that the wash tank 4 can maintain a good and reliable connection with the pumping mechanism 5 for a long time.

In order to ensure smooth drawing of the detergent box 3, a sliding groove 22 is provided in the drawer 2, the sliding groove 22 is located below the mounting groove 21, and the detergent box 3 is slidably disposed on the sliding groove 22. In particular, the method comprises the steps of,

in addition, the drawer 2 is provided with a pusher 23, and the outer wall of the washing powder box 3 is provided with a protruding part 31 matched with the pusher 23. Specifically, the ejector 23 is installed in the drawer 2 and located at one side of the chute 22, and after the detergent box 3 is pushed into the drawer 2, the protrusion 31 abuts against the ejector 23, and when the user presses the detergent box 3 again, the ejector 23 automatically pushes the detergent box 3 out of the drawer 2 through the protrusion 31. The user can realize the automatic ejection of the washing powder box 3 by being matched with the ejector 23 in a pressing mode, so that the washing powder box is more convenient for the user to use. For the specific structural form of the ejector 23, reference may be made to a conventional device having an ejector function, which is not limited and described herein.

Further, for better dispersion and delivery of the washing powder and the detergent to the bottom drain 11 of the housing 1.
