Specifically, when the dispenser box 22 is drawn out, the bottle mouth of the detergent container 10 and the drawing port of the drawing pump 23 are separated. It will be understood that the detergent in the detergent container 10 does not flow out when the bottle mouth of the detergent container 10 and the drawing port of the drawing pump 23 are separated. When the distributor box 22 is pushed into the detergent box 21, the bottle opening of the detergent containing device 10 is directly or indirectly inserted into the liquid pumping opening of the liquid pumping pump 23, the space in the detergent containing device 10 is communicated with the liquid pumping opening, when the liquid pumping pump 23 starts to work, the detergent in the detergent containing device 10 can be pumped out, and after passing through the internal flow passage of the liquid pumping pump 23, the detergent is discharged from the liquid outlet of the liquid pumping pump 23 and enters the water mixing tank of the detergent box 21 through the liquid inlet of the detergent.

The liquid pump 23 has a first suction passage and a second suction passage independent of each other, and the liquid in the first suction passage and the liquid in the second suction passage do not flow into each other and each independently deliver the detergent. In this embodiment, the infusion pump 23 may also be referred to as a double-dosing pump.

Specifically, the liquid suction port of the first suction channel is used for sucking the detergent in the detergent containing device 10 corresponding to the first sub-installation cavity 22b, and the detergent is discharged from the liquid outlet of the first suction channel and discharged to the water mixing tank of the detergent box 21 through one of the detergent liquid inlets. The liquid suction port of the second suction channel is used for sucking the detergent in the detergent containing device 10 corresponding to the second sub-installation cavity 22c, and the detergent is discharged from the liquid outlet of the second suction channel and discharged to the water mixing tank of the detergent box 21 through another detergent liquid inlet.

It should be noted that the first aspiration channel and the second aspiration channel do not draw fluid simultaneously.

It should be noted that in other embodiments, the detergent in the corresponding detergent container 10 in the corresponding installation cavity 22a can be pumped by two independent liquid pumps 23.

In one embodiment, the detergent container 10, the hand-throwing structure 24 and the disinfecting structure may be disposed in different sub-installation cavities according to the model requirement of the washing machine.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 11, the dispenser box 22 includes a box body 221 and an elastic member 222 disposed on the box body 221, the box body 221 is provided with a mounting cavity 22a, and when the detergent container 10 is mounted in the mounting cavity 22a, the detergent container 10 abuts against the elastic member 222.

It should be noted that the elastic member 222 in this embodiment represents a member having a deformation capability and a deformation restoring capability, so that when the detergent container 10 is mounted in the mounting cavity 22a, the detergent container 10 abuts against the elastic member 222, which means that the elastic member 222 and the detergent container 10 are in a close contact state, and the elastic member 222 has a pressure between the elastic member 222 and the end surface of the detergent container 10 in this state, for example, the elastic member 222 deforms in the abutting state against the detergent container 10, thereby improving the stability of the detergent container 10 mounted in the mounting cavity 22 a.

The elastic member 222 is made of a material having a certain elasticity, and the elastic member 222 is subjected to a force to cause the elastic member 222 to be locally elastically deformed. In the process of installing the detergent containing device 10 in the installation cavity 22a, the detergent containing device 10 abuts against the elastic member 222, so that the elastic member 222 is elastically deformed as a whole, and the elastic member 222 also generates a restoring force to abut against the detergent containing device 10, so that the whole detergent containing device 10 is adapted to the installation cavity 22 a; when the detergent container 10 is installed in the installation cavity 22a, the elastic member 222 does not completely recover its shape, so that the elastic member 222 can generate a partial recovery force to tightly adhere to the detergent container 10, and thus the detergent container 10 in the installation cavity 22a can be firmly retained in the installation cavity 22a by the compression of the elastic member 222.

In one embodiment, the elastic member 222 is disposed at one end of the box 221 near the liquid pump 23, but in other embodiments, the elastic member 222 may be disposed at other positions of the box 221, for example, the elastic member 222 may be disposed at the bottom end of the box 221, or disposed at the side of the box 221, and it should be noted that no matter where the position of the box 221 the elastic member 222 is connected, the elastic member 222 may be capable of abutting against the detergent container 10.

Another aspect of the embodiments of the present application further provides a laundry treatment apparatus, including a drum assembly and the detergent dispensing structure of any of the embodiments described above.

It should be noted that the laundry treatment apparatus may be a washing machine, and may also be a washing and drying machine.

The barrel component comprises an outer barrel and an inner barrel which is rotatably arranged in the outer barrel, the inner barrel is provided with a washing cavity, and the detergent putting structure is communicated with the washing cavity. The user can dispose one or more of the detergent container 10, the hand throwing structure 24 and the sterilizing structure in the dispenser box 22 of the detergent throwing structure according to the requirement, and the detergent in the detergent container 10 can enter the washing cavity under the action of the suction pump because the detergent throwing structure is communicated with the washing cavity, thereby realizing the automatic throwing of the detergent in the washing machine.
