And because the pressing plate 14 can move relative to the box cover 12, the pressing plate 14 can adapt to the holding boxes 11 with different inclination angles, and the effect of extruding the condensed beads 20 by the cooperation of the pressing plate 14 and the holding boxes 11 can be improved.

Referring to fig. 1 to 5, a bead drop box assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention specifically includes a tray 11, a box cover 12, a pressing plate 14, a compression spring 15, and an opening assembly 16. The tray 11 and the box cover 12 form an accommodating space 13.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the tray 11 includes a first bottom plate 111. The first base plate 111 is used to house beads 20.

The first base plate 111 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 113. The first through hole 113 may be a circular through hole, a racetrack-shaped through hole, a rectangular through hole, or the like.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the box cover 12 is disposed on the supporting box 11 and can move relative to the supporting box 11 to cover the supporting box 11, such that an accommodating space 13 is formed between the box cover 12 and the supporting box 11, and the beads 20 are located in the accommodating space 13. The lid 12 includes opposite top and

bottom surfaces

121 and 122, and the bottom surface 122 is opposite to the first bottom plate 111 when the lid 12 of the bead drop box assembly 10 is closed (as shown in fig. 4 and 5). The bottom surface 122 forms a plurality of first cylinders 124 corresponding to the first through holes 113 one by one, the first cylinders 124 correspond to one of the first through holes 113, and in the process of putting the clothing processing box 100 into the bead putting box assembly 10, the box cover 12 is close to the first bottom plate 111 to close the bead putting box assembly 10, at this time, the first cylinders 124 can pass through the corresponding first through holes 113, so that the first cylinders 124 can more fully puncture the beads 20 placed on the first bottom plate 111.

Alternatively, a plurality of first columns 124 may be spaced apart such that the first columns 124 can pierce different locations of the outer shell of the beads 20 to improve the outflow efficiency of detergent within the beads 20, which may be a treatment agent for different types of clothing.

Optionally, the end of the first cylinder 124 remote from the bottom surface 122 is tapered (first tapered portion 1241 as shown in fig. 1) to allow the first cylinder 124 to more rapidly pierce the casing of the bead 20.

Optionally, the diameter of the first through hole 113 is larger than the diameter of the first cylinder 124, if the first through hole 113 is a racetrack-shaped through hole, when the box cover 12 and the first bottom plate 111 are close to each other, the first cylinder 124 has a larger moving space, so that in the process of pressing the beads 20 by the cooperation of the box cover 12 and the first bottom plate 111, the first cylinder 124 does not collide with the inner wall of the first through hole 113 to affect the pressing effect.

The first bottom plate 111 further includes a plurality of second posts 114, the second posts 114 extend from the surface of the first bottom plate 111 close to the box cover 12 to a direction away from the first bottom plate 111, and the second posts 114 are distributed at intervals on the first bottom plate 111 and are located outside the first through holes 113. In the case where the beads 20 are placed on the first base plate 111, the second column 114 can puncture the casing of the beads 20, thereby allowing the detergent within the beads 20 to flow out to the first base plate 111.

Optionally, the end of the second post 114 near the bottom surface 122 is tapered (as shown by second taper 1141 in FIG. 3) to allow the second post 114 to more quickly pierce the casing of the beads 20.

Referring to fig. 4, optionally, the box cover 12 may be provided with a plurality of through holes, the plurality of through holes correspond to the second cylinders 114 one to one, and when the box cover 12 is closed so that the bottom surface 122 and the first bottom plate 111 are close to the surface of the box cover 12, the first cylinder 124 may pass through the first through hole 113, and the second cylinder 114 may pass through the corresponding through holes, so that the beads 20 sandwiched between the box cover 12 and the first bottom plate 111 may be punctured by the first cylinder 124 and the second cylinder 114 and simultaneously be fully pressed, thereby improving the outflow efficiency of the detergent in the beads 20, and the detergent is not easily left after being pressed.

The second bottom plate 112 is disposed opposite to the first bottom plate 111, and the second bottom plate 112 is farther from the box cover 12 than the first bottom plate 111, so that the detergent in the beads 20 can flow from the first through holes 113 of the first bottom plate 111 to the second bottom plate 112.

Optionally, the first bottom plate 111 is closer to the box cover 12 than the second bottom plate 112, the second pillars 114 are distributed at intervals on the second bottom plate 112, the first bottom plate 111 and the second bottom plate 112 are fixedly connected through the second pillars 114, and the second pillars 114 penetrate through the first bottom plate 111 to protrude from the surface of the first bottom plate 111 close to the box cover 12 and are located outside the first through holes 113.

Specifically, the second column 114 may extend from the second bottom plate 112 to the first bottom plate 111, and penetrate through the first bottom plate 111, so that the first bottom plate 111 and the second bottom plate 112 are fixedly connected together through the second column 114, and the detergent of the first bottom plate 111 and the second bottom plate 112 is divided into a plurality of parts by the second columns 114 when flowing, thereby preventing the problem that the detergent is not easy to flow due to a large friction force with the second bottom plate 112 when the detergent is aggregated together, and further improving the flowing efficiency of the detergent.

Alternatively, both the first and second

bottom plates

111 and 112 are disposed in an inclined horizontal plane, so that the detergent can flow along the inclined first and second

bottom plates

111 and 112, preventing the detergent from remaining. When the detergent flows along the inclined first bottom plate 111, it can flow from the first through hole 113 to the second bottom plate 112.

Optionally, in a case that the first bottom plate 111 is disposed in an inclined horizontal plane, the heights of the plurality of first cylinders 124 may be gradually reduced along the inclined direction of the first bottom plate 111, so that a line connecting ends of the plurality of first cylinders 124 is parallel to the first bottom plate 111 (e.g., parallel to a surface of the first bottom plate 111 facing the box cover 12), thereby reducing the mass of the first cylinders 124 as much as possible on the premise of ensuring the piercing effect of the first cylinders 124 on the beads 20, and facilitating the miniaturization of the bead drop box assembly 10.

Optionally, referring to fig. 3 and 5, the first base plate 111 includes a first body 1111 and a siphon cover 1112 extending from the first body 1111 to the second base plate 112, the siphon cover 1112 encloses a siphon space 1113, the second base plate 112 includes a second body 1121 and a siphon post 1122 extending from the second body 1121 to the first body 1111, the siphon post 1122 at least partially extends into the siphon space 1113, the siphon post 1122 is provided with a siphon hole 1123 penetrating through the siphon post 1122 and the second body 1122, and the siphon hole 1123 is communicated with the siphon space 1113.

The siphon cover 1112, the siphon column 1122 and the siphon hole 1123 cooperate to form a siphon structure, so that the detergent can flow near the siphon column 115 when flowing along the inclined second bottom plate 112, and the siphon structure can suck all the detergent near the siphon column 1122 by a siphon effect and flow out of the siphon hole 1123, thereby facilitating a subsequent washing operation. In addition, after the casing of the bead 20 flows near the siphon column 1122 along with the detergent, the casing can be soaked near the siphon column 1122 for dissolution, so that the casing can conveniently flow out of the siphon hole 1123 along with the detergent.

Under the condition that the condensed bead putting box assembly 10 is not put into the clothes treating agent box, the box cover 12 is always in an open state (as the state of the condensed bead putting box assembly 10 in fig. 1) under the action of the opening assembly 16, one end of the box cover 12 is fixedly arranged on the supporting box 11, and the other end can rotate around the fixed end to be opened and closed. An opening assembly 16 is provided between the cover 12 and the tray 11 to provide an opening force to open the cover 12.

Optionally, referring to fig. 3, the opening assembly 16 includes a mounting post 161 and a torsion spring 162, the mounting post 161 is disposed on the tray 11, for example, on a surface of the tray 11 opposite to the box cover 12, the torsion spring 162 is sleeved on the mounting post 161, one end of the torsion spring 162 abuts against the tray 11, and the other end of the torsion spring 162 abuts against the box cover 12.

Referring to fig. 3, in an embodiment, the box cover 12 further includes a fixing column 126, the box holder 11 further includes a side plate 119, the side plate 119 is provided with a fixing hole 1191 (for example, the side plate 119 is provided with a lug 1192, the lug 1192 is provided with a fixing hole 1191, and the fixing column 126 and the lug 1192 form a rotating structure, so that the box cover 12 can rotate relative to the box holder 11), the fixing column 126 is clamped in the fixing hole 1191 to mount the box cover 12, and the fixing column 126 can rotate in the fixing hole 1191, so that the box cover 12 and the box holder 11 can be switched between an open state (the state shown in fig. 1) and a closed state (the state shown in fig. 2).

Referring to fig. 6 to 11, in the process of putting the bead putting box assembly 10 into the laundry treatment box 100, the upper cover 101 of the laundry treatment box 100 presses the box cover 12, so that the box cover 12 moves toward the support box 11 and is gradually switched from the open state to the closed state, and after the bead putting box assembly 10 is completely put into the laundry treatment box 100, the box cover 12 and the support box 11 are in the closed state.

The bead releasing box assembly 10 of fig. 6 and 7 is in an open state, the bead releasing box assembly 10 of fig. 8 and 9 is in one state between the open state and the closed state (i.e., the box cover 12 is not completely closed at this time), and the bead releasing box assembly 10 of fig. 10 and 11 is in a closed state (i.e., the box cover 12 is completely closed at this time).

In this way, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, when the bead putting box assembly 10 is taken out from the laundry treating box 100, the box cover 12 is automatically opened by the torsion spring 16; as shown in fig. 10 and 11, after the assembly 10 is put into the laundry treatment kit 100, the box cover 12 is automatically closed by the upper cover 101, and the user does not need to manually open or close the box cover 12, which is convenient to use.

Referring to fig. 7, 9 and 11, a protrusion 123 is formed on the top surface 121 of the box cover 12, and when the bead releasing box assembly 10 is placed into the laundry treatment box 100, the upper cover 101 of the laundry treatment box 100 presses the protrusion 123 of the box cover 12, so as to drive the box cover 12 to move further toward the box holder 11, and compared with the upper cover pressing the part of the box cover 12 outside the area where the protrusion 123 is located, the protrusion 123 is pressed by the upper cover 101, so that the distance between the box cover 12 and the box holder 11 becomes closer, thereby improving the pressing effect when the box cover 12 and the box holder 11 (specifically, the box cover 12 and the first bottom plate 111) cooperate to press the beads 20. And compared with the method that the bead 20 is automatically dissolved in water only or the bead 20 is pierced by the conical column to allow the detergent in the bead 20 to naturally flow out, the method can accelerate the breaking of the bead 20 and the flowing of the detergent in the bead 20, thereby preventing the detergent from remaining.

Alternatively, the surface of the protrusion 123 is curved when viewed in a plane perpendicular to the top surface 121 of the lid 12 and parallel to the direction in which the bead releasing magazine assembly 10 is inserted. For example, the direction in which the bead dispensing magazine assembly 10 is loaded is the direction in which the bead dispensing magazine assembly 10 moves in fig. 6 to 11. Or the box cover 12 is rectangular, the rectangle includes a first side and a second side which are perpendicular to each other, and the direction in which the bead putting box assembly 10 is put is the direction in which the first side extends or the direction in which the second side extends.

In this way, due to the design of the arc-shaped protrusion 123, the contact between the upper cover 101 and the protrusion 123 is smoother, and the bead releasing box assembly 10 is not jammed when being put into the laundry treatment box 100, and is not damaged by the pressing between the upper cover 101 and the protrusion 123. And the design of arc shape, can make the pearl put in the in-process that box subassembly 10 put into clothing treatment agent box 100, lid 12 and the regular change of the extrusion power between the support box 11, when upper cover 101 just contacted bulge 123, the extrusion power is less, along with being close to the top that reaches bulge 123, the extrusion power increases gradually, reach the biggest when the top, then along with keeping away from the top, the extrusion power reduces gradually again, thereby realize the extrusion of pearl 20 better, promote the extrusion effect, reduce the residue of the inside detergent of pearl 20 of condensing.

Alternatively, the projections 123 are plural, and the directions in which the bead dispensing magazine assemblies 10 are placed are sequentially spaced apart.

So, realize extrudeing many times to the pearl 20 through having a plurality of bulges 123, maximize ground promotes the extrusion effect, reduces the residue of the inside detergent of pearl 20.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3 again, the pressing plate 14 is disposed on the bottom surface 122 of the box cover 12 (i.e. the side of the box cover 12 facing the tray 11) and is movable relative to the box cover 12.

Optionally, the box cover 12 may be provided with a plurality of connection posts 127, the pressing plate 14 is formed with a groove 141, the groove 141 is formed by being recessed from the surface of the pressing plate 14 opposite to the first bottom plate 111 toward a direction away from the first bottom plate 111, a connection hole 142 is formed in the bottom wall of the groove 141, the connection posts 127 and the connection holes 142 are in one-to-one correspondence, the connection posts 127 penetrate through the connection holes 141, the diameter of the end portions of the connection posts 127 located in the groove 141 is greater than that of the connection holes 142, so that the pressing plate 14 can be movably connected with the box cover 12, and the pressing plate 14 can move along the connection posts 127 to be close to the box cover 12 or move away from the box cover 12.

The pressure plate 14 cooperates with the first base plate 111 to compress the beads 20 as the lid 12 is moved towards the first base plate 111. And because the pressing plate 14 can move relative to the box cover 12, the pressing plate 14 can adapt to the inclined first bottom plate 111, so that the pressing plate 14 and the first bottom plate 111 can be tightly combined, and the extrusion effect on the beads 20 is improved.
