One kind pushing away bullet formula detergent box and washing machine
Technical field
The present invention relates to washing machine fields, push away bullet formula detergent box applied to washing machine more particularly, to a kind of, especially
It is related to a kind of pulley assembly being easily installed, applied to detergent box.
Background technique
The detergent box of existing roller washing machine is opened and closed and is closed by manual pull.In order to facilitate user's pumping
Detergent box is drawn, usually by attacker's slot that design facilitates user to hold on detergent box, however, attacker's slot will affect laundry drum
The overall appearance of machine, and attacker position is easy dust stratification dirt.
In addition, detergent box pull folding and close, need by be arranged on detergent box locking back-off etc. machines
Tool structure, to realize the locking closure of detergent box.Therefore, it is necessary to users to carry out manual manipulation, and user's feel and body-sensing are different,
Usage comfort is not high.
Simultaneously as existing detergent box is in draw process, due to friction of the detergent box body between external water box
Active force, user, which need to apply a biggish external force to detergent box, just can be achieved pulling motion.Therefore, it rubs to reduce, one
As need to install auxiliary device additional between detergent box and water box, to reduce the frictional force in detergent box draw process.But it is existing
There is the auxiliary device in scheme to cannot achieve the quick assembling with detergent box, can generate and slow washing machine rhythm of production etc. is dragged to ask
Topic.
Therefore, the present invention intends to propose a kind of box component for washing agent for washing machine, to solve problem above.
In view of this, the present invention is specifically proposed.
Summary of the invention

Specific embodiment
In order to make the object, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiment of the invention clearer, below to the technical side in embodiment
Case is clearly and completely described, and the following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention..
As shown in figs. 1-7, the embodiment of the present invention describes a kind of be installed on washing machine and pushes away bullet formula detergent box,
Including the water box 200 being installed on washing machine shell 300, the detergent box 100 that can be pulled out, be pushed into is installed in water box 200;Water
Between box 200 and detergent box 100 be equipped with push away latch component, with to detergent box offer push away play external force after change elastic force lock set
Locking state, lock or unlock water box 200 with detergent box 100;Bullet is additionally provided between water box 200 and detergent box 100
Power component, for providing the power for pushing away pop-up detergent box.Sliding rail knot is equipped between the water box 200 and detergent box 100
Structure is opened and closed so that detergent box is pushed and pulled along rail structure;The rail structure includes multiple cunnings being in contact with detergent box 100
Wheel 1 is pulled out, push-on process friction with reducing detergent box.
In the embodiment of the present invention, user by detergent box 100 along slideway structure be pushed into water box 200 after, to detergent box
100, which apply one, pushes away to play external force and make to push away latch component and is changed to lockup state, and detergent box 100 is enabled to be locked in water box 200, so that
Detergent in detergent box 100 can be launched with washing machine inflow;Detergent need to be supplemented in detergent box 100
When, the detergent box 100 that user fills to 200 internal lock Dingan County of water box again, which applies, one pushes away bullet external force, makes to push away latch component and is changed to unlock
State, while elastic component provides the power being pushed outwardly to detergent box 100, enables detergent box 100 by release power
Effect is pushed out water box 200 along rail structure and in the case where the pulley 1 compared with less friction assists, and realizes that detergent box is pushed away outside bullet
Power automatically opens, the purpose of locking.
By on washing machine install by push away latch controlled, elastic component provide release power detergent box so that washing
Washing agent box only needs the lesser bullet external force that pushes away to achieve that the use purpose for locking, pushing away bullet opening automatically, and detergent box is enabled to have
Push away the function of bullet formula opening and closing;Meanwhile detergent box is passed through into the rail structure matched with pulley and is installed in water box, so that washing
