suction devices for pumping out the laundry care additive by using negative pressure are generally installed on waterways of the automatic dispensing device, for example: venturi, suction pump, etc. There is a certain demand for the flow rate of the supply water during the actual use of the suction device. When the flow rate of the water supply flow is too large and the water pressure is too high, the water flow generates great sealing pressure through a pipeline in front of the suction structure. The sealing pressure has a great risk to the tightness of the dispensing device: when the flow is too large, even if the sealing measures of the water path are solved through various measures, the leakage and the pipe explosion of the pipeline still exist. Cracking and the like.
Meanwhile, the difference of water pressure at different runner sections is too large, and negative pressure is easily formed in the runners, so that the normal pumping of the washing and protecting additive and the smoothness of water flow in the runners are influenced. Particularly, when the suction structure adopts the venturi tube, because the water inlet end of the venturi tube is a pipeline with the minimum diameter, closed pressure is easily generated, and the water inlet flow of the venturi tube cannot meet the use requirement and cannot pump out the washing and protecting additive.
