A drop box 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the dispensing box 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention has a liquid discharge region 10a and an overflow prevention region 10b, and the liquid discharge region 10a surrounds at least part of the outer circumferential side of the overflow prevention region 10b, for example, the liquid discharge region 10a may completely surround the outer circumferential side of the overflow prevention region 10b, that is, the overflow prevention region 10b is disposed adjacent to the liquid discharge region 10a in the circumferential direction, or may be a part of the liquid discharge region 10a surrounding only the outer circumferential side of the overflow prevention region 10b, that is, a part of the overflow prevention region 10b in the circumferential direction is disposed adjacent to the liquid discharge region 10a. Wherein, the dispensing box 10 is formed with a first liquid outlet 112 communicated with the liquid discharge area 10a and a second liquid outlet 113 communicated with the overflow prevention area 10b, i.e. the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a can be discharged out of the dispensing box 10 through the first liquid outlet 112, and the liquid in the overflow prevention area 10b can be discharged out of the dispensing box 10 through the second liquid outlet 113.

Further, when the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is higher than the preset height, the part of the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a higher than the preset height is suitable for entering the overflow prevention area 10b and being discharged through the second liquid outlet 113, and the lowest part of the height of the opening edge of the dispensing box 10 is the lowest edge 10c, wherein the preset height is lower than the height of the lowest edge 10c. Specifically, in the process of water intake of the laundry treatment apparatus 1000, the first liquid outlet 112 is communicated with a laundry cavity such as the laundry treatment apparatus 1000 including the outer tub 200 and the inner tub 300, the laundry cavity is formed in the inner tub 300, when the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is lower than a preset height, the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a can be directly discharged out of the dispensing box 10 through the first liquid outlet 112 into the laundry cavity, when the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is higher than the preset height, the liquid higher than the preset height can enter into the overflow stop area 10b through the portion of the liquid discharge area 10a adjacent to the overflow stop area 10b, the difficulty of the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a entering into the overflow stop area 10b can be well reduced, and the liquid higher than the preset height in the liquid discharge area 10a can be timely discharged out of the dispensing box 10 through the overflow stop area 10b and the second liquid outlet 113, so that the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a can be controlled at a position not higher than the preset height, that is, the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is controlled to be kept at a position lower than the lowest edge 10c. Therefore, the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a can be well prevented from flowing out of the delivery box 10 through the lowest part of the height of the opening edge of the delivery box 10, so that the risk of short circuit caused by the contact between the liquid flowing out and an electric device can be well prevented, the risk of slipping of a user caused by the overflow of the liquid flowing onto the ground can be well prevented, and the safety of the clothes treatment equipment 1000 can be improved.

According to the dispensing box 10 of the embodiment of the present invention, when the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is higher than the preset height, the part of the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a higher than the preset height is suitable for entering the overflow stop area 10b and being discharged through the second liquid outlet 113, and the lowest part of the opening edge of the dispensing box 10 is the lowest edge 10c, wherein the preset height is lower than the height of the lowest edge 10c, so that the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a can be better prevented from flowing out of the dispensing box 10 through the lowest part of the height of the opening edge of the dispensing box 10, thereby better avoiding the risk of short circuit caused by the liquid flowing out to the ground due to contact with an electric device, better avoiding the risk of slipping of the overflowed liquid to the ground, and being beneficial to improving the safety of the clothes treating apparatus 1000.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the circumferential angle of the drain region 10a around the overflow prevention region 10b is not less than 180 °. For example, the liquid discharge region 10a may be disposed entirely around the overflow prevention region 10b, or the liquid discharge region 10a may be disposed only around a portion on the outer circumferential side of the overflow prevention region 10b, a line connecting one end of a contour line of a portion adjacent to the liquid discharge region 10a of the overflow prevention region 10b and the center of the overflow prevention region 10b may be a first line segment, a line connecting the other end of a contour line of a portion adjacent to the liquid discharge region 10a of the overflow prevention region 10b and the center of the overflow prevention region 10b may be a second line segment, and an angle between a projection of the first line segment on the horizontal plane and a projection of the second line segment on the horizontal plane may be equal to or larger than 180 °.

When the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is higher than the preset height, the liquid higher than the preset height can enter the overflow stopping area 10b through the part of the liquid discharge area 10a surrounding the periphery side of the overflow stopping area 10b, so that the area of the overflow stopping area 10b adjacent to the liquid discharge area 10a in the circumferential direction can be better increased, when the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is higher than the preset height, the liquid higher than the preset height can quickly enter the overflow stopping area 10b from a plurality of positions in the circumferential direction of the overflow stopping area 10b and is discharged through the second liquid outlet 113, and the efficiency of discharging the liquid exceeding the preset height in the liquid discharge area 10a into the overflow stopping area 10b is improved, so that the risk of overflow of the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a through the lowest edge 10c is further reduced. As shown in fig. 1, the outer peripheral outline of the overflow prevention region 10b includes an arc-shaped section and a straight-line section, the arc-shaped section is formed into a superior arc shape, that is, the central angle of the arc-shaped section is greater than 180 °, two ends of the arc-shaped section are respectively connected with two ends of the straight-line section, and the arc-shaped section is located between the overflow prevention region 10b and the liquid discharge region 10a. Therefore, when the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is higher than the height of the arc-shaped section, the liquid higher than the arc-shaped section can flow into the overflow prevention area 10b through the upper part of the arc-shaped section, and the overflow prevention effect is good.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, the dispensing box 10 is formed with a water inlet 111, the water inlet 111 and the lowest rim 10c are located at opposite sides of the dispensing box 10, the overflow prevention zone 10b is located between the water inlet 111 and the lowest rim 10c, and the overflow prevention zone 10b is located closer to the lowest rim 10c than the water inlet 111. That is, the external water body may enter the liquid discharge region 10a of the dispensing box 10 through the water inlet 111, for example, the water inlet end of the water inlet 111 may be connected with a water pipe, the water inlet 111 is located at one side of the overflow preventing region 10b, the lowest edge 10c is located at the other side of the water inlet 111 away from the overflow preventing region 10b, that is, the distance between the overflow preventing region 10b and the water inlet 111 is smaller than the distance between the lowest edge 10c and the water inlet 111.

Therefore, during the inflow of water, the water flowing into the liquid discharge area 10a through the water inlet 111 flows to the overflow prevention area 10b at a distance closer than the distance to the lowest edge 10c, i.e., the liquid flows to the overflow prevention area 10b first and then to the lowest edge 10c, so that when the water inflow is suddenly increased, for example, the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is higher than a preset height, the liquid exceeding the preset height can be timely discharged through the overflow prevention area 10b located upstream in the water flow, so that the water level of the liquid discharge area 10a near the lowest edge 10c is always lower than the preset height.

In addition, by arranging the overflow prevention region 10b adjacent to the lowest edge 10c, water resource waste and influence on water inlet efficiency caused by the loss of water inlet of the water inlet 111 directly through the overflow prevention region 10b can be well avoided while the overflow prevention region 10b controls the lowest edge 10c where the liquid in the liquid discharge region 10a is lower. In addition, the resistance of the side wall of the overflow prevention area 10b to the inflow flow can be well avoided, and the water inflow efficiency is improved.

Further, the first liquid outlet 112 is located between the overflow prevention area 10b and the lowest edge 10c. That is, the overflow prevention section 10b is located between the first outlet hole 112 and the inlet hole 111, and the lowest edge 10c is located at a side of the first outlet hole 112 facing away from the overflow prevention section 10b and the inlet hole 111. Therefore, in the water inlet process of the laundry treatment apparatus 1000, the liquid flows from the water inlet 111 toward the first liquid outlet 112, and enters the laundry treatment apparatus 1000 through the first liquid outlet 112, so that the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a at the position of the first liquid outlet 112 is lower than the liquid level in other areas in the liquid discharge area 10a, therefore, the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10b is set at a position in the liquid discharge area 10a and located at the upstream side of the first liquid outlet 112, where the upstream refers to a position in the liquid discharge area 10a near the water inlet 111, the lowest edge 10c is set at a side of the first liquid outlet 112 away from the liquid discharge area 10b, as shown in fig. 1, 3 and 5, the lowest edge 10c, the first liquid outlet 112, the liquid discharge area 10b and the water inlet 111 can be arranged along the first direction s1, the liquid level in the peripheral side area exceeding the preset height can be better ensured not to be higher than the preset height after the liquid is discharged through the liquid discharge area 10b, and the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 112 can be further reduced by the lowest edge 10c along with the liquid discharge of the first liquid outlet 112.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, the dispensing box 10 is formed with a water inlet 111, the bottom wall of the liquid discharge area 10a is formed with a diversion surface 10d, the diversion surface 10d is located between the water inlet 111 and the first liquid outlet 112 and extends obliquely downwards from the water inlet 111 to the first liquid outlet 112, and at least part of the first liquid outlet 112 is formed at the lowest position of the liquid discharge area 10a. The first liquid outlet 112 may be partially formed at the lowest position of the liquid discharge area 10a, or the first liquid outlet 112 may be completely formed at the lowest position of the liquid discharge area 10a. That is, the water body entering the liquid discharge area 10a through the water inlet 111 can flow to the position of the first liquid outlet 112 along the diversion surface 10d under the action of gravity, that is, the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a has a tendency to flow towards the first liquid outlet 112, so that the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a can be quickly discharged into the washing cavity through the first liquid outlet 112, and the residual liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a can be completely discharged through the part of the first liquid outlet 112 at the lowest position of the liquid discharge area 10a, thereby better avoiding bacteria breeding or dirt generation caused by the residual liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a.

In a specific example, as shown in fig. 1, a portion of the first liquid outlet hole 112 is located on the bottom wall of the dispensing box 10, and another portion of the first liquid outlet hole 112 is located on the side wall of the dispensing box 10, and the dispensing box 10 further includes a communicating pipe extending in the horizontal direction, which communicates with the first liquid outlet hole 112, so that an installation space outside the communicating pipe is large, thereby enabling the communicating pipe to communicate with the washing chamber through the liquid outlet pipe 30 having a large caliber, and facilitating the improvement of the water inlet efficiency of the dispensing box 10.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, an anti-blocking member 13 is disposed in the overflow prevention region 10b, and an overflow prevention channel communicating with the second liquid outlet 113 is defined between the anti-blocking member 13 and the inner peripheral wall of the overflow prevention region 10b. That is, the liquid exceeding the preset height in the liquid discharge area 10a may flow to the overflow prevention channel and be discharged through the second liquid outlet 113. Therefore, when the liquid flowing into the overflow prevention channel in the liquid discharge area 10a exists such as agglomerated washing powder and the like, the agglomerated washing powder and the like can be well intercepted by the anti-blocking piece 13 and enter the overflow prevention channel, so that the overflow prevention channel and the second liquid outlet 113 can be well prevented from being blocked by the agglomerated washing powder and the like, the liquid exceeding the preset height in the liquid discharge area 10a can be timely discharged through the overflow prevention channel and the second liquid outlet 113, and the overflow of the liquid caused by the blockage of the overflow prevention area 10b can be well avoided.

When the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is higher than the preset height, the liquid exceeding the preset height enters the overflow stopping area 10b through the upper end of the overflow channel, namely the water inlet end, so that the anti-blocking member 13 is arranged adjacent to the water inlet end of the overflow channel, and can timely block the condensed washing powder and the like in the liquid collection area from entering the overflow stopping area 10b when the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a enters the overflow stopping area 10b, thereby preventing the condensed washing powder and the like from blocking the inlet of the overflow stopping area 10b, and having good anti-blocking effect.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the drop box 10 comprises: a box 11 and an overflow baffle 12. The first liquid outlet 112 and the second liquid outlet 113 are formed in the box 11, the overflow baffle 12 is disposed in the box 11 and defines a liquid draining area 10a, an overflow stopping area 10b and a connection area 10e communicating the liquid draining area 10a and the overflow stopping area 10b together with the box 11, the connection area 10e is located above the overflow baffle 12, and the height of the lowest position of the upper end surface of the overflow baffle 12 forms a preset height. That is, the overflow barrier 12 is located between the drain region 10a and the overflow stop region 10b, and the height of the lowest position of the upper end surface of the overflow barrier 12 is lower than the height of the lowest edge 10c. When the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is not higher than the preset height, namely not higher than the height of the lowest position of the upper end surface of the overflow baffle 12, the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a is directly discharged through the first liquid outlet 112; when the liquid level of the liquid discharge area 10a is higher than a preset height, namely, higher than the height of the lowest position of the upper end face of the overflow baffle 12, the liquid at the lowest position higher than the upper end face of the overflow baffle 12 enters the overflow area through the engagement area 10e, so that the liquid level of the liquid discharge area 10a is controlled at a position not higher than the preset height, and the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a is prevented from overflowing through the lowest edge 10c.

Optionally, the overflow barrier 12 is arcuate or annular. The area of the overflow stop zone 10b that can be defined by the arc-shaped or annular overflow baffle 12 under the same extension length is larger, so that the drainage area of the overflow stop channel can be increased better, the overflow stop zone 10b can be ensured to discharge the liquid exceeding the preset height in the liquid discharge zone 10a rapidly, and the risk of overflow can be reduced better. Further, when the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a flows through the overflow barrier 12, the flow resistance of the overflow barrier 12 provided in an arc shape or a ring shape to the liquid is small. As shown in fig. 1, the overflow barrier 12 is formed in a superior arc shape, and both ends of the overflow barrier 12 are connected with the side wall of the case 11 to define an overflow stop zone 10b between the overflow barrier 12 and the case 11.

Alternatively, both ends of the overflow barrier 12 in the circumferential direction are connected to the peripheral wall of the case 11 and define an overflow prevention area 10b therebetween with the peripheral wall of the case 11. Therefore, the formation of the overflow prevention zone 10b can fully utilize the side wall of the box body 11, so that the material of the overflow baffle 12 can be saved, and the weight and the production cost of the throwing box 10 can be reduced.

Further, the box 11 is polygonal, and the peripheral wall of the box 11 includes a plurality of side walls connected end to end in sequence, and two peripheral ends of the overflow baffle 12 are connected with one of the side walls and together define an overflow stop zone 10b. That is, both circumferential ends of the overflow barrier 12 are connected to the same side wall of the case 11 to define an overflow prevention area 10b between the overflow barrier 12 and the side wall. That is, the overflow baffle 12 can define the overflow preventing area 10b only by being matched with one of the side walls, thereby reducing the difficulty of forming the overflow preventing area 10b and flexibly adjusting the position of the overflow preventing area 10b according to the design requirement. In addition, the occupied space of the box body 11 is smaller, so that the capacity of the liquid discharge area 10a can be better improved, the overflow prevention effect of the throwing box 10 is improved, and the water inflow of the throwing box 10 is improved.

A delivery assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a delivery assembly 100 for a laundry treatment apparatus 1000, as shown in fig. 1 and 4, the delivery assembly 100 includes: the dispensing box 10 and the dispenser 20, the dispensing box 10 is formed with a mounting opening 114, and the edge of the mounting opening 114 forms the lowest edge 10c. That is, the preset height is lower than the edge of the installation hole 114, and thus, the liquid higher than the preset height in the liquid discharge area 10a can be timely discharged out of the dispensing box 10 through the overflow prevention area 10b and the second liquid outlet 113, so that the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is controlled to be at a position not higher than the preset height, that is, the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is controlled to be maintained at a height lower than the edge of the installation hole 114. Therefore, the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a can be well prevented from flowing out of the delivery box 10 through the edge of the mounting opening 114, so that the risk of short circuit caused by contact between the liquid flowing out and an electric device can be well avoided, the risk of slipping of a user caused by overflow liquid flowing onto the ground can be well avoided, and the safety of the clothes treatment equipment 1000 is improved.

Further, the dispenser 20 is disposed in the dispensing box 10 along the mounting opening 114 in a drawable manner, that is, the dispenser 20 can be pulled out from the dispensing box 10, and after the detergent such as the washing powder and the laundry detergent is placed in the dispensing box 10, the dispenser 20 is pushed into the dispensing box 10, so that the difficulty in dispensing and supplementing the detergent can be well reduced. Wherein the dispenser 20 is located within the dispensing box 10, the drain region 10a and the spill-resistant region 10b are each at least partially below the dispenser 20, the dispenser 20 being adapted to dispense a lotion or a lotion-water mixture to the drain region 10a. Therefore, the difficulty of distributing the lotion or the lotion-water mixture into the liquid discharge area 10a can be well reduced, and in addition, the distributor 20 can accurately control the feeding amount of the lotion or the lotion-water mixture, so that the waste of the lotion can be well avoided, and the difficulty of rinsing clothes can be well reduced.

Wherein the lotion-water mixture refers to a mixture liquid generated after the external water body and the lotion are fused, for example, the external water body can directly enter the dispenser 20 and be mixed with the lotion in the dispenser 20 to form the lotion-water mixture liquid, and then the lotion-water mixture liquid flows into the liquid discharge area 10a and is discharged into the laundry cavity through the first liquid outlet 112 to be contacted with the laundry; it is also possible that the dispenser 20 directly dispenses the wash into the drain region 10a, introduces the external water into the drain region 10a through the water inlet 111, mixes the wash with the water in the drain region 10a through the flow of the water, and finally flows into the laundry chamber through the first liquid outlet 112 to contact with the laundry.

According to the dispensing assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, when the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is higher than the preset height, the part of the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a higher than the preset height is suitable for entering the overflow prevention area 10b and being discharged through the second liquid outlet 113, and the edge of the mounting opening 114 forms the lowest edge 10c, wherein the preset height is lower than the lowest edge 10c, so that the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a can be better prevented from flowing out of the dispensing box 10 through the edge of the mounting opening 114, and the risk of short circuit caused by the contact of the liquid flowing out with an electric device can be better avoided, and the risk of slipping of a user caused by the overflowed liquid flowing onto the ground can be better avoided, thereby being beneficial to improving the safety of the clothes treatment device 1000.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, the laundry treating apparatus 1000 includes an outer tub 200 and an inner tub 300 provided in the outer tub 200, a receiving chamber is defined between the outer tub 200 and the inner tub 300, a drain assembly is provided on the outer tub 200, and the delivery assembly 100 includes: a drain pipe 30 and a no-spill pipe 40, the drain pipe 30 being adapted to communicate the first drain hole 112 with the inner barrel 300. That is, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, one end of the liquid outlet pipe 30 is communicated with the first liquid outlet 112, and the other end of the liquid outlet pipe 30 is communicated with the inner cylinder 300, so that the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a, such as the lotion, the lotion-water mixture and the external water body, can be directly discharged into the inner cylinder 300 through the liquid outlet pipe 30, that is, the liquid does not need to flow through the accommodating cavity in the process of adding water into the inner cylinder 300, thereby better avoiding the dirt in the accommodating cavity from being brought into the inner cylinder 300 by the liquid, and further better avoiding the waste caused by the direct flushing of the lotion or the lotion-water mixture into the water discharge assembly.

In addition, the overflow preventing pipe 40 is suitable for communicating the second liquid outlet 113 and the accommodating cavity, that is, one end of the overflow preventing pipe 40 is communicated with the second liquid outlet 113, and the other end of the overflow preventing pipe 40 is communicated with the accommodating cavity, so that the liquid in the overflow preventing area 10b can be discharged into the accommodating cavity through the second liquid outlet 113 and the overflow preventing pipe 40 and the overflow preventing area 10b are discharged through the drainage assembly, and therefore overflow of the liquid caused by blockage can be well avoided.

At least one of the liquid outlet pipe 30 and the overflow preventing pipe 40 is U-shaped, for example, the liquid outlet pipe 30 may be U-shaped, the overflow preventing pipe 40 may be U-shaped, and both the liquid outlet pipe 30 and the overflow preventing pipe 40 may be U-shaped. In the process of adding water to the inner cylinder 300, when the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is not higher than the preset height, the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a directly flows into the inner cylinder 300 through the first liquid outlet 112 and the liquid outlet pipe 30, after the water adding is completed, the liquid in the liquid outlet pipe 30 arranged in a U shape is not completely discharged, so that a water seal is formed in the liquid outlet pipe 30, that is, the residual liquid in the liquid outlet pipe 30 can cut off the communication between the two ends of the liquid outlet pipe 30, and thus the communication between the inner cylinder 300 and the delivery box 10 is cut off. When the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is higher than the preset height, the liquid higher than the preset height enters the overflow stop area 10b and flows to the accommodating cavity through the second liquid outlet 113 and the overflow stop pipe 40, but the liquid in the overflow stop pipe 40 arranged in a U shape cannot be completely discharged, so that a water seal is formed in the overflow stop pipe 40, that is, the residual liquid in the overflow stop pipe 40 can block the communication between the two ends of the overflow stop pipe 40, thereby blocking the communication between the accommodating cavity and the delivery box 10.

From this, make the clear in-process of clothing produced foam can't get into through stopping overflow pipe 40 or drain pipe 30 and put in box 10 to can avoid the foam to spill over through the installing port 114 of putting in box 10, in addition, at the in-process of high temperature steam washing and stoving, the water seal that forms can separate high temperature gas flow to put in box 10 and discharge through putting in box 10 betterly, thereby can prevent that high temperature gas from meeting cold the condition emergence of condensation water droplet on the installing port 114 of putting in box 10, do benefit to security and user experience that promote clothing treatment facility 1000 used.

Further, the overflow prevention pipe 40 has a U shape, and as shown in fig. 1 and 3, a liquid supplementing hole 121 communicating the overflow prevention area 10b and the liquid discharge area 10a is formed on the peripheral wall of the overflow prevention area 10b. Therefore, when the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is higher than the height of the lowest position of the liquid supplementing hole 121 in the process of filling water into the inner cylinder 300, part of the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a can enter the overflow stopping area 10b through the liquid supplementing hole 121, so that in the water feeding process, when the liquid level in the liquid discharge area 10a is not higher than the preset height all the time, part of water in the liquid discharge area 10a can be introduced into the overflow stopping area 10b through the liquid supplementing hole 121 and discharged into the overflow stopping pipe 40 through the second liquid outlet hole 113 to form a water seal, and the water seal failure caused by the water evaporation of the overflow stopping pipe 40 can be well avoided.

In addition, the lowest position of the liquid replenishing hole 121 is higher than the lowest position of the first liquid outlet hole 112 and not higher than the highest position of the first liquid outlet hole 112. Therefore, the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a has a tendency to flow towards the lowest position of the first liquid outlet 112, so that the dispensing box 10 can rapidly add water to the inner barrel 300, and the interference of the liquid supplementing hole 121 on the water discharge of the first liquid outlet 112 is reduced, and in addition, the first liquid outlet 112 can drain the liquid in the liquid discharge area 10a, so that the residual liquid is prevented from breeding bacteria or generating dirt. In addition, the highest position of the fluid-filling hole 121 is not higher than the highest position of the first fluid-outlet hole 112, for example, the highest position of the fluid-filling hole 121 may be the same height as the highest position of the first fluid-outlet hole 112, or the highest position of the fluid-filling hole 121 may be lower than the highest position of the first fluid-outlet hole 112, whereby the size of the fluid-filling hole 121 may be well controlled to reduce the influence on the drainage amount of the first fluid-outlet hole 112, and waste caused by that excessive fluid enters and directly drains into the accommodating chamber through the non-overflow pipe 40 may be well avoided. In a specific example, the distance between the fluid-filling hole 121 and the bottom wall of the fluid discharge area 10a is smaller than the distance between the fluid-filling hole 121 and the upper end of the overflow barrier 12, so that the fluid-filling hole 121 is closer to the bottom wall of the fluid discharge area 10a, and when the water inflow in the fluid discharge area 10a is smaller, it can be ensured that part of the water can still enter the overflow pipe 40 through the fluid-filling hole 121 to form a water seal.

Further, the flow area of the fluid-supplementing hole 121 is smaller than the flow area of the first fluid outlet 112. Thus, while water is replenished to the liquid outlet pipe 30 through the liquid replenishing hole 121, the influence of the diversion of the liquid replenishing hole 121 on the water discharge amount of the first liquid outlet hole 112 can be reduced well, for example, the flow area of the liquid replenishing hole 121 can be smaller than one fourth of the flow surface of the first liquid outlet hole 112, and no specific limitation is imposed here.
