ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a metering device for releasing water and detergent. More particularly, the present invention relates to a metering device for releasing water and detergent in order to adjust an amount of detergent through a detergent quantity adjustment device.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,257,786 has disclosed a metering device for storage, mixture and release of detergent with water. Only a single valve is disposed between a reservior and a fluid conduit to permit selective mixing of water and detergent. However, the detergent quantity cannot be adjusted by the single valve.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a metering device for releasing water and detergent in order to adjust an amount of detergent through a detergent quantity adjustment device.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a metering device for releasing water and detergent in order to adjust an amount of water through a water quantity adjustment device.
Accordingly, a metering device for releasing water and detergent comprises a three-way connector, a water quantity adjustment device, a detergent quantity adjustment device, and a detergent bottle. The three-way connector has a three-way channel, a first end connected to the detergent quantity adjustment device, a second end connected to the water quantity adjustment device, and a third end connected to a water outlet hose. The first end of the three-way connector has a first outer thread. The second end of the three-way connector has a second outer thread. The third end of the three-way connector has a third outer thread. The water quantity adjustment device has a swivel ring and a water amount control ring. The swivel ring has an inner thread engaging with the second outer thread of the three-way connector, a through aperture, an engagement groove, a plurality of engagement recesses, a first guidance hole, a second guidance hole, and a third guidance hole. The water amount control ring has an inner thread, a protruded block having a round hole and a circular aperture to receive a compression spring and a check block, and a distal end having an inner thread. A hollow post is disposed on the protruded block to be inserted in the through aperture of the swivel ring. The hollow post has a recess hole. A gasket surrounds the round hole of the water amount control ring. The detergent quantity adjustment device has a rotating ring and a detergent amount control ring. The rotating ring has an inner thread engaging with the first outer thread of the three-way connector, a center through hole, a click groove, a plurality of click recesses, a first guide hole, a second guide hole, and a third guide hole. The detergent amount control ring has an inner thread, a protruded disk having a circular hole and a round aperture to receive a coiled spring and a click block, and a distal end having an inner thread. A hollow pillar is disposed on the protruded disk to be inserted in the center through hole of the rotating ring. The hollow pillar has a blind hole. The detergent bottle has an outer thread to engage with the inner thread of the detergent amount control ring.
