Detailed Description

The present invention is further illustrated by the following examples, but is not limited to the details of the description.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, in a first embodiment, the utility model discloses a detergent box assembly, which comprises a detergent box 10, a return part 20, a valve core 30 and a top column 40, wherein the detergent box 10 is provided with a storage cavity 11 for storing detergent, the detergent box 10 is provided with a feeding port 12 for feeding the detergent, and the feeding port 12 is communicated with the storage cavity 11; the restoring component 20 is positioned in the storage cavity 11, and a first end of the restoring component 20 is connected with the inner wall of the storage cavity 11; the valve core 30 is connected to the second end of the restoring part 20, the valve core 30 can move relative to the input port 12, the valve core 30 has a first position for closing the input port 12 and a second position for opening the input port 12, and the valve core 30 is switched between the first position and the second position through moving; the top pillar 40 is movably disposed through the detergent box 10, a first end of the top pillar 40 is connected to the valve core 30, a second end of the top pillar 40 is located outside the detergent box 10, and the top pillar 40 moves the valve core 30 by moving.

Since the detergent box 10 has the storage chamber 11 therein, the storage chamber 11 may be filled with detergent in advance. When the detergent dispenser is not used, the valve core 30 can be restored to the first position through the restoring part 20, so that the putting-in opening 12 is closed, the detergent is prevented from flowing out, and the detergent storage is realized. The detergent box assembly of the utility model realizes the integration of storage and feeding of detergent by arranging the feeding port 12 on the detergent box 10, arranging the valve core 30 and the top column 40 and matching with the return part 20, stores the detergent dosage for a plurality of times in the detergent box 10 once, only needs to open the feeding port 12 every time, does not need to add detergent every time, thereby greatly reducing the washing steps and improving the cleaning efficiency.

The valve body 30 may be spherical or may have a cap-like structure. When the valve core 30 is spherical, the diameter of the sphere can be matched with the input port 12, or can be slightly larger than the inner diameter of the input port 12, and when the valve core is in a cap-shaped structure, the valve core can be just matched with the input port 12, or can be slightly larger than the input port 12, so that the outer edge of the valve core 30 in the cap-shaped structure just abuts against the inner wall of the storage cavity 11 on the peripheral side of the input port 12.

The restoring member 20 includes an elastic member 22, the elastic member 22 is connected between the valve core 30 and the inner wall of the storage chamber 11, and the elastic member 22 is used for restoring the valve core 30 to the first position to prevent the detergent from leaking.

Specifically, the elastic member 22 may be a net structure having an elastic band or a plurality of elastic bands, the elastic band holds the valve element 30 at the first position by elastic force, when the top pillar 40 drives the valve element 30 to move to the second position, the elastic band is stretched, and when the top pillar 40 moves back, the elastic member resets the valve element 30 to the first position.
