Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and the like are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a detergent dispenser box, please refer to fig. 1 and 2, including a box main body 11, a sub-box 12, and an operating mechanism 2 disposed in the sub-box 12.

The embodiment of the application also provides a detergent putting assembly, which comprises a detergent box and the detergent dispenser box in any embodiment of the application, wherein the detergent dispenser box can be arranged in the detergent box in a drawing mode. Before washing clothes, a user pulls out the detergent dispenser box from the detergent box to throw detergent, and pushes the detergent dispenser box into the detergent box after the detergent is thrown.

In the embodiment of the present application, a detergent dispensing assembly applied to a washing device is taken as an example for explanation.

Referring to fig. 1, 2, 4 and 5, the main box body 11 has a containing space 11a, and the sub-box 12 is removably disposed in the containing space 11a, that is, the main box body 11 and the sub-box 12 are of a split structure. It is understood that the sub-cartridge 12 and the cartridge body 11 constitute the cartridge body 1 of the detergent dispenser cartridge.

Referring to fig. 6, the sub-box 12 is provided with a liquid storage chamber 101 for containing detergent. The detergent is stored in the storage chamber 101, and the capacity of the storage chamber 101 can be used for washing the required amount of detergent for a plurality of times of clothes washing, for example, 5 times, 10 times, 20 times, 50 times, 100 times and the like.

It should be noted that the detergent is in liquid state, and can be liquid with higher viscosity, such as laundry detergent, softener, etc.; or a liquid of lower viscosity, such as a disinfectant, etc.

The operating mechanism 2 is capable of controllably discharging the detergent in the reservoir 101 out of the reservoir 101, i.e. the amount of detergent discharged from the reservoir 101 is controlled by the operating mechanism 2.

The user can control the time of the operating mechanism 2 in the detergent releasing state according to the amount of detergent required for a single washing, and when the amount of detergent released is enough for the amount of detergent required for a single washing, the operating mechanism 2 is not released.

It should be noted that, since the detergent dispenser box does not have a movement process during the water inlet process, an auxiliary positioning structure may not be provided between the sub-box 12 and the box main body 11, and the sub-box 12 may be directly placed in the containing space 11 a.

According to the detergent dispenser box disclosed by the embodiment of the application, the detergent can be put in as required by controlling the action of the control mechanism 2 without using a liquid pump to quantitatively pump the detergent; in addition, the detergent required by multiple times of washing can be added into the liquid storage cavity 101 at one time, the detergent does not need to be added into the detergent dispenser box before clothes are washed at each time, the frequency of adding the detergent by a user is reduced, and the user experience is improved.

When a user needs to put detergent in a fixed amount, the sub-box 12 is placed in the containing space 11a, and the detergent is put in the fixed amount through the sub-box 12; when the user does not need to put in the detergent quantitatively, the sub-box 12 is taken out, that is, the sub-box 12 which can be selected and matched is added on the basis of not changing or slightly changing the manual putting-in type detergent distributor box in the prior art, so that the pure manual type detergent distributor box in the prior art can be upgraded into a semi-automatic type detergent distributor box, the user experience is improved, and the model of the existing washing equipment can be updated conveniently.

It should be noted that the control mechanism 2 is not limited to control the liquid in the reservoir 101 to be discharged, for example, in some embodiments, the control mechanism 2 is a manual push pump, and the detergent in the reservoir 101 is discharged through the inside of the control mechanism 2.

In other exemplary embodiments, referring to fig. 6, the sub-box 12 is provided with a dispensing cavity 102 for receiving the inlet water flow, and a flow passage 103 (see fig. 4 and 5) for communicating the liquid storage cavity 101 and the dispensing cavity 102, and the detergent in the liquid storage cavity 101 can flow into the dispensing cavity 102 through the flow passage 103. The operating mechanism 2 selectively opens or closes the transfer passage 103; the detergent dispenser box further comprises a drainage channel through which the incoming water flow entering the dosing chamber 102 can exit the detergent dispenser box, i.e. the detergent dosed into the dosing chamber 102 is the detergent required for a single washing of the laundry.

When it is not necessary to dispense detergent into the dispensing chamber 102, referring to fig. 4 and 5, the operating mechanism 2 is in a state of closing the through-flow passage 103, that is, the operating mechanism 2 is in a closed state of closing the through-flow passage 103 by default. When it is required to release the detergent into the dosing chamber 102, the operating mechanism 2 is switched from the closed state of closing the overflow channel 103 to the open state of opening the overflow channel 103, and the detergent in the reservoir chamber 101 flows into the dosing chamber 102 through the overflow channel 103.

Exemplarily, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the cartridge body 11 is provided with a first liquid outlet 1a communicating with the containing space 11 a; when the sub-box 12 is removed from the containing space 11a, the containing space 11a can be used for putting detergent or washing powder, the inflow water enters into the containing space 11a, that is, the inflow water originally entering into the putting cavity 102 enters into the containing space 11a at this time, and the inflow water entering into the containing space 11a exits out of the detergent dispenser box through the first liquid outlet 1 a.

In this embodiment, when the user needs to put in the washing powder, or when the user does not need to put in the detergent in a fixed amount, the sub-box 12 may be taken out, and the washing powder may be directly put in the holding space 11 a. That is, in this embodiment, the manual dispensing type detergent dispenser box of the related art can be upgraded to a semi-automatic detergent dispenser box without changing the structure of the manual dispensing type detergent dispenser box of the related art at all.

It should be noted that, when the sub-box 12 is removed from the containing space 11a, and no longer occupies the containing space 11 a.

Illustratively, the rear end of the cartridge body 11 is open to form the first liquid outlet 1a, and the structure is simple.

For example, the box main body 11 is provided with a transverse rib 111 above the first liquid outlet 1a, and the transverse rib 111 can improve the structural strength of the box main body 11.

Illustratively, the volume of the reservoir chamber 101 is greater than the volume of the dosing chamber 102. The liquid storage cavity 101 can contain more detergent, and the volume required by the feeding cavity 102 is relatively small, so that the limited space in the sub-box 12 is conveniently and reasonably utilized.

The water inlet of the throwing chamber 102 is not limited, and for example, referring to fig. 2 and fig. 7, the top side of the throwing chamber 102 is opened to form the water inlet 1 d. On the one hand, it is convenient to receive the water inflow from above the detergent dispenser box, and on the other hand, the dispensing cavity 102 is directly exposed on the outer surface of the detergent dispenser box, so that the detergent in the dispensing cavity 102 can be conveniently viewed by the user.

Specifically, the detergent box includes a housing and an upper cover provided at a top side of the housing, the housing and the upper cover together defining a drawing space for accommodating the detergent dispenser box. The upper cover is provided with a water inlet channel and a water outlet, water from an external water source enters the water inlet channel, the water outlet is positioned above the throwing cavity 102, and water in the water inlet channel flows downwards from the water outlet and flows into the throwing cavity 102 to realize water injection into the throwing cavity 102. Therefore, an additional water inlet pipe does not need to be arranged on the sub-box 12, so that the structure of the sub-box 12 is simplified; in addition, since the detergent dispenser box needs to be drawn frequently, the dispensing chamber 102 of this embodiment can reduce the requirement for the position accuracy of the detergent dispenser box, and facilitate the water inlet of the sub-box 12.

Illustratively, the housing of the detergent box is provided with a water mixing tank located below the drawing space and a main water outlet communicated with the water mixing tank. After being mixed in the putting cavity 102, the detergent and the inflow water flow into the water mixing tank and then enter the washing cavity of the washing equipment through the main water outlet.

It should be noted that the detergent entering the dosing chamber 102 may at least partially exit the dosing chamber 102 via a drainage channel or may be completely accumulated in the dosing chamber 102 before the influent enters the dosing chamber 102.

Illustratively, the drainage channel is configured to: the dosing chamber 102 is capable of accumulating detergent from the reservoir 101 and the incoming flow of water into the dosing chamber 102 is capable of exiting the detergent dispenser box via a drainage channel. That is, before the inflow water enters the putting cavity 102, the detergent entering the putting cavity 102 from the reservoir 101 does not flow out of the putting cavity 102 but is accumulated in the putting cavity 102, and after the inflow water enters the putting cavity 102 through the water inlet 1d, the inflow water carries the detergent to be discharged out of the detergent dispenser box. Since the detergent released into the dispensing chamber 102 is accumulated in the dispensing chamber 102, the user can see the amount of the dispensed detergent in the process of releasing the detergent, so that the user can grasp the opening time of the operating mechanism 2, and the accuracy of the amount of the detergent dispensed is improved.

It should be noted that the detergent dispenser box is required to be sufficient for a user to be able to see the detergent in the dosing chamber 102. Illustratively, in some embodiments, the dosing chamber 102 is exposed to the external view of the detergent dispenser box, i.e. the detergent in the dosing chamber 102 is visible to the user from the outside of the detergent dispenser box during use of the detergent dispenser box. For example, no shielding structure is provided above the dosing chamber 102, or a transparent shielding structure is provided above the dosing chamber 102.

The drainage manner of the drainage channel is not limited, and for example, the liquid in the input chamber 102 is drained by the siphon principle, that is, the drainage channel is a siphon channel, and when the input chamber 102 is filled with water to reach the siphon height, the liquid in the input chamber 102 is drained based on the siphon principle.

The siphon channel is formed in a non-limiting manner, for example, referring to fig. 1, 2, 7 and 8, in some embodiments, the detergent dispenser box includes a siphon tube 31, a water inlet end of the siphon tube 31 extends into the dispensing chamber 102, a water outlet end of the siphon tube 31 is wound around the outside of the dispensing chamber 102 from above a side wall of the dispensing chamber 102, a space inside the siphon tube 31 is the siphon channel, and liquid in the dispensing chamber 102 is discharged out of the detergent dispenser box through the siphon tube 31.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the top of the side wall corresponding to the throwing cavity 102 is lower than the transverse rib 111, and a space 11c is formed between the side wall and the transverse rib, and the space 11c is used for avoiding the siphon tube 31, that is, the siphon tube 31 passes through the space 11 c.

It should be noted that, since the user needs to withdraw the detergent dispenser box from the detergent box before washing, the siphon tube 31 should be disposed to avoid interference with the detergent box. Illustratively, the siphon tube 31 is located at the rear end of the sub-cartridge 12 in the drawing direction of the detergent dispenser cartridge, and the dosing chamber 102 is located substantially at the rear side of the reservoir chamber 101, facilitating the arrangement of the siphon tube 31.

In other embodiments, the bottom wall of the dosing chamber 102 is provided with a second liquid outlet, and the detergent dispenser box comprises a first siphon cap disposed at the second liquid outlet in the dosing chamber 102, wherein when the dosing chamber 102 is filled with water to a siphon height, the water with detergent flows through the first siphon cap and the second liquid outlet to be discharged. In this embodiment, the liquid discharged from the second liquid outlet enters the holding space 11a, and is discharged to the water mixing tank through the first liquid outlet 1a, and finally discharged into the washing chamber of the washing apparatus through the main water outlet.

The specific form of the overflow channel 103 is not limited, for example, in some embodiments, a partition is disposed between the liquid storage cavity 101 and the dispensing cavity 102, and the overflow channel may be a through hole penetrating through the partition. In other embodiments, the flow passage 103 may also be a flow passage with a certain extending length, wherein the flow passage 103 may extend linearly, may also extend in a curve, and may also extend in a bending manner, which is not limited herein. It will be appreciated that the liquid flow path in the transfer channel 103 should be as short as possible to reduce the flow resistance of the detergent.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, an inlet 103a of the transfer channel 103 is disposed on an inner surface of the reservoir 101, and an outlet 103b of the transfer channel 103 is disposed on an inner surface of the dispensing chamber 102.

For example, with continuing reference to fig. 4 and 5, the inlet 103a of the overflow channel 103 is disposed on the bottom surface of the reservoir 101, so as to minimize the position of the inlet 103a of the overflow channel 103, and even if the amount of detergent in the reservoir 101 is small, the detergent can enter the dispensing chamber 102 from the overflow channel 103.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4 and 5, the bottom surface 101a of the reservoir 101 is higher than the bottom surface 102a of the dispensing chamber 102, i.e., there is a certain height difference therebetween. The inlet 103a of the overflow channel 103 is located on the bottom surface 101a of the reservoir 101, the outlet 103b of the overflow channel 103 is located on the side surface 102b of the dosing chamber 102 near the reservoir 101, and the inlet 103a is located at a higher position than the outlet 103 b. When the operating mechanism 2 opens the through-flow passage 103, the detergent is allowed to flow into the dosing chamber 102 quickly due to the difference in height between the inlet 103a and the outlet 103 b.

For example, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, 2, 7 and 8, the detergent dispenser box includes a cover 5, and the cover 5 is disposed on the top of the sub-box 12 and covers the reservoir 101. The cover body 5 can prevent foreign matters or dust from entering the liquid storage cavity 101, so that the detergent in the liquid storage cavity 101 is kept clean.

The shape of the cover 5 substantially matches the contour shape of the reservoir chamber 101. It should be noted that the cover 5 does not cover the dispensing cavity 102, so that the dispensing cavity 102 can receive the inflow water.

The cover body 5 can be made of a light-transmitting material, so that a user can visually see the residual detergent amount in the liquid storage cavity 101, and the user can add detergent into the liquid storage cavity 101 conveniently and timely. It is understood that the cover 5 may be made of an opaque material, and is not limited herein.

Exemplarily, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 7 and 8, the sub-box 12 is provided with a visual indication 15 for indicating the level of the liquid in the dosing chamber 102, the visual indication 15 being exposed to the outside view of the detergent dispenser box, i.e. the visual indication 15 is visible to the user from the outside of the detergent dispenser box. In this embodiment, the visual identifier 15 can provide a volume reference, which is convenient for a user to directly know the current amount of detergent in the dispensing chamber 102, and the user does not need to guess the amount by feel, thereby improving the user experience and the accuracy of the amount of detergent to be dispensed.

The specific form of the visual mark 15 is not limited, and may be, for example, a scale mark disposed on the sidewall of the dispensing cavity 102, a color band with different colors, a pattern with different patterns, a character, or the like.

Illustratively, in some embodiments, at least a portion of the reservoir 101 is positioned forward of the dispensing chamber 102, it being understood that the "forward" may be either a straight forward or a side forward, so long as at least a portion of the reservoir 101 is forward of the dispensing chamber 102. In this embodiment, after the user withdraws the detergent dispensing device from the detergent box, the user can add detergent into the reservoir 101 conveniently because at least a portion of the reservoir 101 is closer to the user.

It should be noted that, before washing, the user withdraws the detergent dispensing device from the detergent box, but only a portion of the detergent dispensing device is withdrawn, and the entire detergent dispensing device is not completely separated from the detergent box, so that, even if the detergent dispensing device is withdrawn, the rear end of the detergent dispensing device remains in the detergent box, and the user does not easily see the rear end of the detergent dispensing device. For this purpose, in some exemplary embodiments, referring to fig. 7 and 8, the dispensing chamber 102 includes a first sub-area 102a and a second sub-area 102b which are communicated with each other, the first sub-area 102a is located at the rear end of the sub-box 12, the second sub-area 102b extends forward from the front side of the first sub-area 102a, and the second sub-area 102b is located at one lateral side of the reservoir chamber 101. That is, the second sub-area 102b and the reservoir chamber 101 are arranged side by side in the left and right direction of the detergent dispensing device.

The visual mark 15 is disposed on the side surface of the second sub-region 102 b. Since the second sub-area 102b extends forward a distance, the second sub-area 102b is more easily visible to the user when the user draws out the detergent dispensing device, and therefore, the visual indicator 15 is provided on the inner surface of the second sub-area 102b, which facilitates the user to view the visual indicator 15.

The visual indication 15 may be provided at any position of the side surface of the second sub-area 102 b. For example, referring to fig. 7 and 8, the inner surface of the front side of the second sub-area 102b is an inclined surface 102b ' inclined upward, that is, the inclined surface 102b ' is inclined upward, and the visual mark 15 is disposed on the inclined surface 102b '. When the user looks down at the detergent dispensing device after drawing out the detergent dispensing device, the visual identification 15 can be seen more clearly and easily.

Illustratively, the dosing chamber 102 receives the flow of influent water through the second sub-zone 102b and the drainage channel is disposed in the first sub-zone 102 a.

The specific structure of the sub-cartridge 12 is not limited.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 6 and 7, the sub-cartridge 12 includes a bottom plate 121, a closure 122, and a partition 123, the closure 122 being located on a top side of the bottom plate 121 and extending along an edge of the bottom plate 121, the closure 122 forming a closed loop. The baffle 123 sets up in the space that the bounding wall 122 encloses, and encloses the space that establishes with bounding wall 122 and bottom plate 121 and divide out liquid storage cavity 101 and input chamber 102, and liquid storage cavity 101 is located the front side of baffle 123, and input chamber 102 is located the rear side of baffle 123, that is to say, liquid storage cavity 101 is located roughly the front side of inputting chamber 102, so, the user of being convenient for on the one hand adds the detergent in to liquid storage cavity 101, and on the other hand, also is convenient for arrange drainage channel.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 6 and 7, the surrounding plate 122 includes a first sub-surrounding plate 1221 and a second sub-surrounding plate 1222 connected end to end along the circumference of the surrounding plate 122, the first sub-surrounding plate 1221 and the partition 123 define the reservoir cavity 101 therebetween, and the second sub-surrounding plate 1222 and the partition 123 define the throwing cavity 102 therebetween.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the height of the second sub-surrounding board 1222 is smaller than the height of the first sub-surrounding board 1221. Since the second sub-surrounding board 1222 is located relatively rearward, the height of the second sub-surrounding board 1222 is appropriately reduced to avoid interference of the second sub-surrounding board 1222 with the cross bar 111.

In the embodiment where the detergent dispenser box is provided with the siphon tube 31, the water outlet end of the siphon tube 31 is wound from the top end of the second sub-enclosing plate 1222 to the outside of the sub-box 12.

For example, referring to fig. 6, the partition 123 includes a first horizontal plate 1231, a vertical plate 1233 and a second horizontal plate 1232, which are sequentially connected, the vertical plate 1233 extends in the front-back direction, the first horizontal plate 1231 is connected between the front end of the vertical plate 1233 and the surrounding plate 122 located at the first lateral side of the sub-box 12, the second horizontal plate 1232 is connected between the rear end of the vertical plate 1233 and the surrounding plate 122 located at the second lateral side of the sub-box 12, the surrounding plate 122 located at the first lateral side of the vertical plate 1233 is a part of the second surrounding plate 1222, and the surrounding plate 122 located at the second lateral side of the vertical plate 1233 is a part of the first surrounding plate 1221.

The area between the longitudinal plate 1233 and the second sub-enclosing plate 1222 at the first lateral side forms a second sub-area 102b of the launch chamber 102, and the area between the second transverse plate 1232 and the second sub-enclosing plate 1222 at the rear end is the first sub-area 102a of the launch chamber 102. The area between the longitudinal plate 1233 and the first sub-enclosing plate 1221 on the second lateral side is a part of the reservoir chamber 101.

The distance between the longitudinal panel 1233 and the second sub-enclosing panel 1222 is smaller than the distance between the longitudinal panel 1233 and the first sub-enclosing panel 1221 in the lateral direction of the detergent dispenser box. That is, the width of the second sub-area 102b is smaller than the width of the corresponding liquid storage cavity 101, so that the volume of the liquid storage cavity 101 is increased as much as possible under the condition of meeting the water inlet requirement.

Illustratively, the area between the longitudinal panel 1233 and the second sub-enclosing panel 1222 on a lateral first side of the longitudinal panel 1233 is adapted to receive the incoming water flow. That is, the dosing chamber 102 receives the incoming water flow through the second sub-zone 102 b.

For example, referring to fig. 7, the rear surface of the first horizontal plate 1231 facing the side of the dosing chamber 102 is an inclined surface 102b 'that is inclined upwards, and the inclined surface 102 b' is provided with a visual indicator 15 for indicating the height of the liquid level.

The position of the operating mechanism 2 is not limited, and it may be provided in the reservoir chamber 101 or the loading chamber 102. In the embodiment in which the actuator 2 is disposed in the reservoir 101, the actuator 2 closes the inlet 103a of the transfer channel 103. In the embodiment in which the actuator 2 is arranged in the dosing chamber 102, the actuator 2 closes the outlet 103b of the transfer channel 103.

The driving mode of the operating mechanism 2 is not limited, and may be electric driving or manual driving. For example, the actuating element 2 can be switched from the closed state to the open state by an external force, i.e. the actuating element 2 is driven manually. It should be noted that the external force refers to a force outside the washing apparatus, for example, a force applied by a user.

The direction in which the external force acts on the operating mechanism 2 is not limited. Exemplarily, the steering mechanism 2 is configured to: can be switched from the closed state to the open state after being pressed downward. In the embodiment, the force application direction of the user is downward, so that the human engineering is met, and the force application of the user is facilitated.

It will be appreciated that after the user manually drives the operating mechanism 2 from the closed state to the open state, the user may manually reset the operating mechanism 2 from the open state to the closed state, or the operating mechanism 2 may be automatically reset, i.e., without manual resetting by the user.

For example, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 4 and 5, the detergent dispensing device comprises an elastic reset element 4, wherein the elastic reset element 4 can drive the operating mechanism 2 to reset from the open state to the closed state, that is, the elastic reset element 4 drives the operating mechanism 2 to automatically reset. Illustratively, the user applies force to the operating mechanism 2, so that the operating mechanism 2 is switched from the closed state to the open state and is kept in the open state for a certain time, and then the user releases the operating mechanism 2, i.e. the external force is removed, and the elastic resetting piece 4 drives the operating mechanism 2 to automatically reset to the closed state.

The specific structure of the elastic reset piece 4 is not limited, and may be a cylindrical spring, a torsion spring, etc., which is not limited again.

The connection of the operating mechanism 2 to the sub-cartridge 12 is not limited as long as the operating mechanism 2 can move relative to the sub-cartridge 12.

In some embodiments, the manipulation mechanism 2 is capable of linearly reciprocating with respect to the sub-cartridge 12. For example, the manipulation mechanism 2 linearly reciprocates in the up-down direction of the sub-cartridge 12. Illustratively, when a user needs to release the detergent in the liquid storage cavity 101 to the dispensing cavity 102, the user pulls the operating mechanism 2 upwards, and the operating mechanism 2 moves upwards, so that after the operating mechanism 2 is separated from the inlet 103a of the overflow channel 103, the operating mechanism 2 is in an open state of opening the overflow channel 103; when it is desired to close the transfer passage 103, the user can manually press the operating mechanism 2 so that the operating mechanism 2 is in a closed state closing the transfer passage 103 after the operating mechanism 2 is moved down to block the inlet 103 a. It will be appreciated that in the embodiment with the resilient return member 4, when it is desired to close the transfer passage 103, the user releases the operating mechanism 2 and the resilient return member 4 automatically drives the operating mechanism 2 downwardly to a position blocking the inlet 103 a.

In other exemplary embodiments, referring to fig. 2, 4 and 5, the operating mechanism 2 is a lever mechanism. Specifically, referring to fig. 9, the lever mechanism includes a pressing portion 22 for pressing, a sealing portion 23 for closing the flow passage 103, and a bending rod portion 21 connecting the pressing portion 22 and the sealing portion 23, and is rotatably connected to the sub-box 12 or the cover 5 through the bending rod portion 21, that is, the lever fulcrum O is located on the bending rod portion 21, and the pressing portion 22 and the sealing portion 23 are located on front and rear opposite sides of the lever fulcrum O.

When a user presses the pressing portion 22 downwards, the lever mechanism is driven by an external force to rotate by a certain angle around the lever fulcrum O along the counterclockwise direction in fig. 4 or 5, and the sealing portion 23 moves towards the upper direction in fig. or the drawing, so that the flow passage 103 can be opened.

It should be noted that the inlet 103a of the transfer channel 103 needs to be as close as possible to the dispensing chamber 102, while the pressing portion 22 needs to have a suitable pressing dimension, and the lever mechanism can make the pressing portion 22 and the inlet 103a of the transfer channel 103 be arranged in a staggered manner.

In the embodiment provided with the elastic return member 4, the moment applied to the lever mechanism by the elastic return member 4 is opposite to the moment applied to the lever mechanism by the external force. For example, the external force applies a moment to the lever mechanism in a counterclockwise direction in fig. 4 or 5, and the elastic restoring member 4 applies a moment to the lever mechanism in a clockwise direction in fig. 4 or 5.

The elastic return member 4 may be a torsion spring. Specifically, the torsion spring is arranged coaxially with the rotation center line of the lever mechanism. The elastic reset piece 4 can also be a compression spring or a tension spring, and the arrangement position of the elastic reset piece is only required to be capable of applying reset torque to the lever mechanism.

Illustratively, the pressing portion 22 is located forward of the lever fulcrum O, and the sealing portion 23 is located rearward of the lever fulcrum O. The rotation axis of the lever mechanism is arranged substantially horizontally in the left-right direction of the detergent dispensing device. In this embodiment, the pressing portion 22 is closer to the user than the sealing portion 23, on the one hand, facilitates the user to apply a force, and on the other hand, facilitates the sealing portion 23 and the inlet 103a of the transfer passage 103 to be arranged further back.

Specifically, the bottom side of the cover 5 is provided with a hanging lug 51, and the bending rod 21 is rotatably connected with the hanging lug 51. In this embodiment, when the cover 5 can be detached from the sub-box 12, the cover 5 can be detached together with the lever mechanism, so that the sub-box 12 can be cleaned by the user.

Illustratively, the pressing portion 22 is generally disc-shaped to facilitate pressing by a user's finger.

For example, referring to fig. 2, the cover 5 is provided with a mounting hole 5a penetrating through the cover 5, and the pressing portion 22 is disposed in the mounting hole 5 a. The shape of the mounting hole 5a is approximately matched with that of the pressing portion 22, and a certain gap needs to be reserved between the peripheral edge of the pressing portion 22 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 5a to reduce the friction resistance between the pressing portion 22 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 5a during the movement.

Illustratively, in some embodiments, the sealing portion 23 is made of an elastic material, such as silicone rubber, etc., so as to improve the sealing reliability and reduce the possibility of liquid leakage. In other embodiments, the sealing portion 23 and the bending rod portion 21 are made of the same material, for example, an integrally formed plastic member, a metal member, etc.

First side rail 212, crossbar 211, and second side rail 213 generally form a stepped configuration.

The connection mode between the seal portion 23 and the second vertical bar 213 is not limited. For example, referring to fig. 9, the circumferential surface of the second vertical rod 213 is provided with a ring groove 21a, the sealing portion 23 is sleeved on the second vertical rod 213, and a part of the structure of the sealing portion 23 is embedded in the ring groove 21a, so that the sealing portion 23 can be assembled on the second vertical rod 213 without other fasteners, the assembling manner is simple, and the probability that the sealing portion 23 is separated from the second vertical rod 213 can be reduced.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4 and 5, in the embodiment with the elastic restoring member 4, the operating mechanism 2 includes a positioning rod 214 protruding from the upper surface or the lower surface of the cross bar 211. That is, the positioning bar 214 extends downward from the bottom side of the cross bar 211, or the positioning bar 214 extends upward from the top side of the cross bar 211. The elastic restoring member 4 is a spring, and the spring is sleeved on the positioning rod 214. It should be noted that the positioning rod 214 and the spring are arranged such that the spring is compressed to store energy during the pressing of the pressing portion 22.

Specifically, referring to fig. 5, in an embodiment where the positioning rod 214 is located at one end of the lever fulcrum O close to the sealing portion 23, the positioning rod 214 protrudes from the upper surface of the cross bar 211, and the positioning rod 214 extends upward from the top side of the cross bar 211.
