Detergent box and washing machine comprising same

Abstract

Provided are a detergent box and a washing machine including the detergent box. The detergent box includes an additive box provided with an addition cavity, and further includes a siphon structure and a limit plate. The siphon structure is rotatably disposed in the addition cavity and is configured to divide the addition cavity into two chambers, and the two chambers are communicated through the siphon structure when liquid detergent is delivered. The limit plate is configured to support the siphon structure to enable the two chambers to be completely communicated when solid detergent is delivered.

         7 . The detergent box according to  claim 6 , wherein a space is provided between the bottom wall and a lower end surface of the siphon structure. 
     
     
         8 . The detergent box according to  claim 6 , further comprising a box lid, wherein the box lid is configured to be buckled into the additive box. 
     
     
         9 . The detergent box according to  claim 8 , wherein the limit plate is disposed on the box lid, and the limit plate and the water outlet are disposed on a same side of the additive box. 
     
     
         10 . A washing machine, comprising a washing machine body and the detergent box according to  claim 1 , wherein the detergent box is configured to be drawn horizontally and is disposed on the washing machine body. 
     
     
         11 . The washing machine according to  claim 10 , wherein the siphon structure comprises a siphon cap, and the siphon cap comprises a cap body and a division plate disposed in the cap body, wherein the division plate divides an inner cavity of the cap body into two siphon cavities communicated with each other, and each one of the two siphon cavities is communicated with a respective one of the two cavities. 
     
     
         12 . The washing machine according to  claim 11 , wherein the siphon cap is rotatably connected to an inner wall of the addition cavity. 
     
     
         13 . The washing machine according to  claim 11 , wherein the siphon structure further comprises two partition dams, wherein the two partition dams are respectively disposed on two sides of the siphon cap, and each of the two partition dams are rotatably connected to an inner wall of the addition cavity. 
     
     
         14 . The washing machine according to  claim 13 , wherein the two partition dams and the siphon cap are welded integrally. 
     
     
         15 .
