Abstract (en)

The present invention provides a washing machine, including a treating agent input device (4). The treating agent input device (4) includes an independent treating agent container (5). A pressing-type suction device is mounted on the treating agent container. The suction device includes a reciprocating pressure head (12) and a conveying channel (13) connected to the pressure head and in fluid communication with the treating agent container (5). The pressure head (12) includes a liquid outlet (14). A pressure applying device controlled by a control device is disposed opposite to the pressure head, and can push the pressure head (12) to move in a direction towards the treating agent container, to pump a treating agent out of the treating agent container. The independent treating agent container (5) may be taken out of the mounting chamber, which is convenient for overall replacement, or addition of the treating agent to the treating agent container (5). The treating agent is not in direct contact with any electrical device, so that sealing requirements do not need to be considered, and the complexity of assembly is reduced.
