本发明属于家用电器技术领域,具体地说,涉及一种洗衣机的储液装置及具有该储液装置的洗衣机。
背景技术
现在市场上各种厂家的洗衣机琳琅满目,功能也越来越多,随着人工智能的发展,对洗涤剂投放的操作便利性和可靠性提出了越来越高的要求,目前在用的洗衣机自动投放,在往洗涤剂储液盒及柔顺剂储液盒投放洗涤剂或柔顺剂在储液盒顶部预留的排气孔排气才能注满洗涤剂或柔顺剂;如图1所示,在注入洗涤剂或者柔顺剂时,如果用户不注意“MAX”线最高标注液位,把洗涤剂加注到顶面外溢的话,就有很大几率和透气孔接触,从而凝固后堵塞透气孔。如图2所示,现有的排气孔由于担心漏液,设计成0.5mm的孔,但是存在液体投放过量、且长时间存放时,洗涤剂凝固会把孔堵死,这样在洗涤剂用完再投放时会投不进去或投不到有效的体积洗涤剂,如果孔做大可以减小堵的概率但又会有在洗衣机内部漏液的隐患。
申请号为CN201310737908.6的中国专利公开了一种具有自动投放洗涤剂功能洗衣机的控制盘座,所述的控制盘座内设置有至少一个用于投放固体洗涤剂的腔室、至少一个用于盛放液体洗涤剂的容器以及与腔室和容器均连通的洗涤剂自动投放装置,控制盘座的上端面设有至少两个洗涤剂投放口,各洗涤剂投放口一一对应与腔室和容器相通;所述控制盘座的下方为由外环周壁、与外环周壁相连接的上端面以及构成衣物投放口的内环周壁形成的容纳空间,所述的腔室、容器及洗涤剂自动投放装置均设于该容纳空间内。
申请号为CN201610261656.8的中国专利公开了一种洗衣机控制盘座包括控制盘座本体,控制盘座本体内设置有洗涤剂盒,控制盘座本体上端面设有洗涤剂投入口,洗涤剂投入口上还设置有洗涤剂投入口盖,洗涤剂投入口盖上设置有连接轴,控制盘座本体设置有连接槽,连接轴设置于连接槽内。本发明中连接轴设置在连接槽内,能够使连接轴在连接槽内滑动也能够转动,使洗涤剂投入口盖能够翻转打开也能平移打开。由于连接槽的长度较现有旋转孔直径较大,因此安装或者拆卸洗涤剂投入口盖时能够先倾斜再将洗涤剂投入口盖摆正。
上述现有技术虽然提出了关于添加剂盒的技术方案,但在洗涤剂的添加过程中,依然存在着无法判断何时停止添加洗涤剂,而导致洗涤剂添加过量溢出或者将排气孔堵塞的情况。
申请号为CN201710685086.X的中国专利公开了一种洗衣机,该洗衣机设有外接所述容器的接口结构,容器与接口结构可拆卸连接,自动投放机构安装于洗衣机内,与接口结构连接。洗衣机包括第一投放单元和第二投放单元,第一投放单元安装于洗衣机内,为手动投放单元,包括水槽和抽拉设于水槽内的分配盒,自动投放机构设于第一投放单元的水槽上,第二投放单元为外置式投放单元,包括所述盛放添加剂的容器,第一投放单元和第二投放单元具有共用的投放水路。
上述现有技术方案在洗涤剂的添加过程中,采用的弹簧式单向阀,在使用中存在添加剂与单向阀接触的部位粘连,或者单向阀的弹簧失效,导致无法判断何时停止添加洗涤剂或者无法添加添加剂的情况发生。
有鉴于此特提出本发明。
