Description

A kind of feeding method of washing machine and laundry treatment agent

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of washing machines, in particular to a washing machine and a method for adding a laundry treatment agent.

Background technique

Along with the development of washing machine, more and more washing machines with automatic feeding function appear. The existing detergent box is generally arranged at the top of the front of the washing machine at the same height as the control panel.

As shown in Figure 1, the height of the existing washing machine is H, and the front of the washing machine has three distinct areas: the washing cavity area of the washing machine corresponds to a front panel 1', the height of the front panel 1' is H2, and the front The upper part of the panel 1' has an area with a height of H1, where the control panel 2', the power button 3' and the detergent box 4' are set, and the lower part of the front panel 1' has an area with a height of H3, where the decorative panel 5 is set ', this area has a cover plate 6' that can be opened, and the cover plate 6' can be opened to clean the filter of the drain pump/drain valve. The existing technology is that after the washing program of the washing machine is started, the washing machine weighs the clothes, determines the dosage, and the pump unit is powered on, so that the detergent or softener in the storage box in the detergent box 4' can be pumped out to enter the detergent. In the delivery box of the box 4', the solenoid valve is energized, so that tap water enters the delivery box, and the detergent or softener or other laundry treatment agents are mixed and washed and brought into the washing chamber.

With people's pursuit of quality of life, more and more types of laundry treatment agents are automatically dispensed, and the volume of the detergent box 4' is increasingly unable to meet the needs of users. For example, the detergent box 4' of the existing washing machine has a volume of 500ml-1000ml, and about 50ml is automatically put into each laundry, and the user must refill it in the detergent box 4' after washing 10-20 times, so as to bring more benefits to consumers. Come in great trouble. However, if the volume of the detergent box 4' is increased at the original position, the height of the washing machine will inevitably be increased, and it is not worth the candle to increase the volume of the whole washing machine just for the volume of the detergent box 4'.

In addition, after the position corresponding to the detergent box 4' changes, how to inject the laundry treatment agent of the washing machine needs to be changed accordingly.
