This application claims priority of Chinese patent application No. 202020276140.2 filed on Mar. 9, 2020. The contents of the applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
The present application relates to the technical field of personal care, particularly to an assembly structure and a liquid storage bottle of a hand wash liquid soap dispenser.
Hand wash liquid soap is a kind of personal care cleaning product that is often used in daily life, usually placed in the kitchen, toilets etc. Hand wash liquid soap is generally stored in a container, and is dispensed out of the container by pressing a pressing means provided on the top of the container. In order to meet the needs of users of convenience and avoiding cross-contamination caused by contact, some automatic hand wash liquid soap dispensers have emerged, which use an electric main body to suck up the hand wash liquid soap in the storage bottle and achieve the purpose of delivery. This saves the manual pressing process. However, the connection between the main body and the storage bottle of the automatic hand wash liquid soap dispenser is basically a screw or thread connection in prior art. It needs to be rotated for multiple times, or to an aligned position to be engaged when replacing a liquid storage bottle. This results in complex assembly steps, hence increases the user's workload and reduces the user's comfort.
An objective of the present application is to provide an assembly structure of a hand wash liquid soap dispenser which overcomes the defects in the prior art. An external snapping head is provided to connect a liquid storage bottle and a main body casing, thereby reducing the assembly steps of the two and simplifying the overall structure.
In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides an assembly structure of a hand wash liquid soap dispenser, which includes a main body casing and a liquid storage bottle, and further includes an external snapping head snap-fitted on a bottle mouth of the liquid storage bottle. A plurality of protruded flexible snaps are arranged at intervals on an outer periphery of an upper end of the external snapping head. A recessed groove to be engaged with the outer periphery of the external snapping head is provided on a bottom part of the main body casing, and a plurality of first snaps or snap grooves corresponding to the flexible snaps are provided on an inner wall of the recessed groove.

Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
As shown in
In the present embodiment, a positioning recess 33 which is recessed downward into the bottle mouth of the liquid storage bottle is provided in a central part of a top end of the external snapping head 3, and a boss 14 which extends downward into the positioning recess 33 is provided in a central part of the recessed groove 11. The suction nozzle 13 is disposed on one side of the boss 14 and is protruded downward and beyond a lower end of the boss 14. The recessed hole 32 is located on one side of a bottom part of the positioning recess 33. Therefore, the main body casing and the external snapping head can be easily assembled through the cooperation of the boss and the positioning recess. In order to further achieve the precise alignment and the quick assembly of the suction nozzle and the recessed hole, two vertical guiding columns 331 that are protruded are provided on an inner wall of the positioning recess 33, and the two guiding columns 331 are symmetrically located at two sides of the recessed hole 32. One side of the boss 14 is recessed and formed with guiding grooves 141 which can accommodate and cooperate with the two guiding columns 331, and outer sides of the two guiding columns are respectively in abutment with two sides of the guiding grooves. The suction nozzle 13 is located in the middle of the guiding grooves 141, therefore, when the boss is to be inserted into the positioning recess, the guiding columns have to be aligned with the guiding grooves before being guided downward, finally the suction nozzle in the middle of the guiding grooves is inserted into the recessed hole between the two guiding columns, using the cooperation of the boss and the positioning recess to achieve guiding and positioning. Furthermore, in order to facilitate the insertion of the boss into the positioning recess, the corners of the guiding columns are designed as transition curved surfaces, and the corners of the boss contacting the transition curved surfaces of the guiding columns are also designed as curved surfaces in coordination therewith, so that the smoothness between two curved surfaces may facilitate the assembly between the boss and the positioning recess.
Specifically, an air aperture 34 in communication with the inside of the liquid storage bottle 2 is provided on the bottom part of the positioning recess 33. Gas flows into the bottle through the air aperture when drawing liquid out of the bottle. The air aperture 34 is located at one side of the recessed hole 32. After the boss is fitted into the positioning recess, a gap (not shown) exists between the guiding columns 331 and the suction nozzle 13 acts as an air flow channel connecting the external air and the air aperture 34.
Specifically, a snapping edge 211 protruding in a radial direction is provided on an outer side of an upper end of the bottle mouth 21 of the liquid storage bottle 2. A cap-shaped portion 35 is formed on the outer periphery of the upper end of the external snapping head 3, which is sleeved on an outer periphery of the bottle mouth 21 of the liquid storage bottle 2. The flexible snaps 31 are provided on the cap-shaped portion 35, and their upper end forms an inclined surface for the first snaps to be pressed down and flexibly compress the flexible snaps backward. An inner side of the cap-shaped portion 35 is provided with four protruded second snaps 351 distributed at intervals in an annular array and snap-fitted to a lower end surface of the snapping edge 211 such that the external snapping head is snap-fitted to the bottle mouth. Additionally, the top end of the external snapping head 3 is provided with arc-shaped holes 352 running through in an up and down direction at positions corresponding to the four second snaps 351, in order to facilitate the detachment of the external snapping head. When detaching, a matching tool (such as a flat-blade screwdriver, etc.) is inserted downward through the arc-shaped hole 352 to the second snap 351, and then pried outward to separate it from the snapping edge 211.
Specifically, a positioning protrusion 212 projecting radially outwards from the snapping edge 211 is provided on the outer periphery of the bottle mouth of the liquid storage bottle to prevent the external snapping head from rotating by itself, and the positioning protrusion 212 is located on or below the snapping edge. A lower end of the cap-shaped portion 35 is provided with a U-shaped bayonet 353 for the positioning protrusion 212 to fit in, therefore the liquid storage bottle and the external snapping head are fixed with each other.
In other embodiments of the present application, as shown in
In other embodiments of the present application, a complete hand wash liquid soap generator can be obtained by arranging corresponding nozzles, foam generating devices, liquid pumps, and gas pumps as driving mechanisms in the main body casing. Specifically, the nozzle is arranged on an upper part of the main body casing, and facing toward the outside of the main body casing to spray the foam. The foam generating device is arranged inside the main body casing, and includes: a gas-liquid mixing chamber in communication with the nozzle, a liquid pump in communication with the suction nozzle at the lower end of the main body casing through a tube and used for sucking the hand wash liquid soap from the suction nozzle and pump it into the gas-liquid mixing chamber, a gas pump for sucking air and pump it into the gas-liquid mixing chamber, a driving mechanism for driving the liquid pump and the gas pump, and a sensing device arranged on the main body casing and electrically connected to the driving mechanism. The sensing device is used to detect the approaching human body, and generate a starting signal that controls the driving mechanism to drive the liquid pump and the gas pump after an approaching human body is detected, so that the air pumped into the gas-liquid mixing chamber is mixed with the hand wash liquid soap in the gas-liquid mixing chamber to generate foam, and the foam generated is sprayed through the nozzle.
