Abstract
An automatic additive dispensing device includes: a liquid additive storage box, a measuring chamber communicating with the storage box, a pumping unit for pumping the additive into the measuring chamber, and a flushing water passage communicating with the measuring chamber. The measuring chamber measures the amount of an additive entering the measuring chamber; the flushing water passage introduces water into the measuring chamber, and then the additive pumped into the measuring chamber is discharged. The measuring chamber is flushed; and may directly or indirectly communicate with the liquid storage box. A one-way passage is arranged for flowing in a direction from the liquid storage box to the measuring chamber. By providing the simple one-way passage between the liquid storage box and the measuring chamber, flushing water can be prevented from being guided into the liquid storage box in the process of flushing the measuring chamber.
