The embodiment of the disclosure provides a detergent putting module for a washing machine. Referring to fig. 1 to 5, the detergent dispensing module includes a plurality of dispensing bins 10, and the dispensing bins 10 are movably connected to the washing machine.

The detergent feeding module of the embodiment of the disclosure splits the existing detergent feeding groove into a plurality of independent feeding bins, and each feeding bin is movably connected to the washing machine. A detergent is added into each putting bin 10, and when the detergent is added, the corresponding detergent putting bin is only required to be opened. Different throwing bins 10 have different use frequencies due to different washing habits, and the wear degrees are different. Therefore, when a certain throwing bin 10 is damaged, only the throwing bin 10 needs to be replaced, and the replacement cost is reduced.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the number of the throwing bins 10 is not limited, and may be determined according to the washing function of the washing machine. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1, the number of the dispensing bins 10 is 3, including a first dispensing bin 11 for dispensing laundry detergent, such as laundry detergent or washing powder; the second throwing bin 12 is used for throwing the softener; and a third throwing bin 13 for throwing the disinfectant.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the feeding bin 10 realizes the function of feeding detergent, and includes a feeding port to ensure that the detergent can enter the inner drum of the washing machine. The feeding bin 10 can be opened at the upper end, and the detergent can be added through the opening. It will be understood that the basic structure (e.g., the input port) of each input bin 10 is the same as that of the input slot of the corresponding existing input box, except that each input slot is divided and constructed as a separate bin.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the feeding bin 10 is movably disposed on the washing machine, and when the detergent needs to be added, the feeding bin 10 (as shown in fig. 3) may be opened, for example, the feeding bin 10 is pulled out, and after the detergent is added, the feeding bin 10 is closed, for example, the feeding bin 10 is pushed in. The opening or closing of the throwing bin 10 can be realized in a conventional drawing mode, and an auxiliary structure can be added to improve the opening and closing experience of the throwing bin 10.

Alternatively, the input bin 10 is drawably connected to the washing machine through a matching structure of a chute and a slide rail.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 1, the detergent dispensing module further comprises a displacement mechanism 14, and the dispensing bin 10 is movably connected to the washing machine by a displacement mechanism 20.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1, 4 and 5, the displacement mechanism 14 includes a push-and-eject structure. The spring pushing structure is a spring pusher, which is also called a 'push type elastic switch'. Specifically, the fixing portion 141 of the projectile pushing structure is fixedly disposed, and the projectile pushing end 142 is disposed on the dispensing bin 10. By pressing the front end surface (positioned on the surface of the washing machine) of the putting bin 10, the putting bin 10 can be popped out by the push-spring mechanism (as shown in fig. 5), and detergent is filled; and then the throwing bin 10 is pushed to fix the throwing bin 10. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the selection of the projectile pusher may be determined according to actual needs, for example, according to the required pressing displacement of the projectile and the size of the projectile displacement. The ejection displacement refers to a distance that the front end surface of the throwing bin 10 can be ejected out after the throwing bin 10 is pressed. The pressing displacement refers to a displacement of the front end surface of the pressing and placing bin 10 in the pressing direction when the pressing and placing bin 10 is in place.

Optionally, the projectile pushing displacement of the projectile pusher is 1cm to 3 cm. Optionally, the projectile displacement of the projectile pusher is 2 cm.

Alternatively, the pressing displacement of the ejector is 1 cm.

In some embodiments, the dispensing bin 10 is flat and vertically disposed. As shown in fig. 1, the front end surface of the drop bin 10 is rectangular, and the ratio of the long side (i.e. the height of the drop bin 10) to the short side (i.e. the width of the drop bin 10) is not lower than 2 (alternatively, the ratio of the long side to the short side is 3). The depth (length in the direction extending into the washing machine) of the loading bin 10 is not limited, and may be determined according to the structure of the washing machine.

Optionally, the plurality of throwing bins 10 are vertical and arranged side by side. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a detergent feeding module comprises 3 feeding bins 10, a first feeding bin 11, a second feeding bin 12 and a third feeding bin 13, wherein the 3 feeding bins 10 are vertical and arranged in parallel.
