Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of washing machine, especially the washing machine of individual's domestic.Moreover, it relates to a kind of method for running this washing machine.
Background technology
Washing machine is generally of the cylinder of cylinder, and this cylinder can be bearing in the bucket that often cup-shaped is constituted in the way of its cylinder axis rotation.When washing machine runs, this cylinder is provided with the washings to clean.Except (being often arranged on cylinder side) loading and uninstalling opening, bucket surrounds cylinder at this.When washing machine runs, this loading and uninstalling opening are closed by door.
Operationally, washing machine the washing procedure flow process often with multiple program step (being also referred to as " process ") is completed.Therefore, in the program step being referred to as washing process, with so-called " cleaning mixture ", i.e. water and one or more additives (detergent, softening agent and analog) partly pour into bucket and cylinder.In washing process, cylinder often rotates with only small rotating speed, it will usually repeatedly reverse direction of rotation, so that washings adequately passes through cleaning mixture motion and is wetted.Because the rib of cylinder is inwardly stretched, so washings also rises at this from washing liquid, until fall after rise due to gravity, and have also been changed the storage configuration (that is, unclamped winding knot and/or changed folded situation) of its own at this.Thus, make washings move tempestuously especially, and effectively wash away spot.Cleaning mixture (being also referred to as " flushing process ") is replaced often with after the washing process, in order to detergent residual washed away from washings, and therefore avoid (after drying) detergent spot with clear water.In flushing process, cylinder is generally similar to be rotated like that in washing process.Generally and then being provided with dehydration, in this dehydration, cylinder rotates with high rotating speed, and wherein, water is discharged from washings due to centrifugal force.
In traditional usual washing machine sold on European market, bucket and cylinder have the cylinder axis of horizontal alignment.At this, cylinder often has the loading and uninstalling opening (so-called " muzzle-loading " washing machine) arranged in side, thus the people of loading or unloading roller it is frequently necessary to kneel before washing machine.Additionally, when the such orientation of cylinder, owing to washings imbalance often occurs along the distribution that inner wall of rotary drum is uneven in dehydration, and therefore cylinder also occurs transverse to cylinder axis with along the vibration of cylinder axis.This vibration must cushion via to the sufficiently flexible supporting of cylinder and bucket and damping, in order to this vibration is not transferred to surround on (outward) housing of bucket and cylinder.Otherwise may result in the displacement of whole washing machine.
On the contrary, on Asia and market, America, be widely used that the washing machine (being also frequently referred to as " above filling formula " washing machine) that its cylinder axis is placed vertically and completes from above to load and unload.For the vibration in dehydration, on these, dress formula washing machine is advantageous for, because comparing front-loading washing machine, often less vibration occurs along the direction of cylinder axis.But, in washing process, it is necessary to the water level that comparison is high is set in bucket, in order to washings can float and move.Additionally, be generally provided with impeller among cylinder, i.e. be arranged in the lower end side of cylinder, have vaned, for the rotary motion of cylinder being passed to the plate of washings (and cleaning mixture), or be provided with agitator.Agitator is the vaned bar of tool that axis is centrally located, and these blades rotate along with cylinder, and actually clashes into the washings floating in cleaning mixture, and therefore makes these washings move.Therefore, front-loading washing machine compared by such upper dress formula washing machine needs more water, and generally also has and have higher mechanical load for washings.Additionally, for sawed-off people, be often difficult to upper dress formula washing machine is unloaded, because they generally cannot get at the bottom of cylinder.
Summary of the invention
The basic task of the present invention is, provides the washing machine of a kind of improvement.
According to the present invention, this task is addressed by the feature of claim 1 for washing machine.According to the present invention, this task is addressed by the feature of claim 8 for the method being used for running washing machine.Dependent claims and description below elaborate the favourable of the present invention and the creative embodiment of part and improvement project.
Washing machine according to the present invention includes housing and can support roller unit in the housing in the way of overturning.At this, roller unit has the bucket of cup-shaped and cylindrical (washing) cylinder, and wherein, cylinder is can be bearing in bucket in the way of rotating around its cylinder axis (being referred to below as cylinder axis).Roller unit also has loading and uninstalling opening, bucket and cylinder lead to this opening respectively in side.That is, bucket and cylinder have (bucket opening or cylinder) opening respectively in side, and they are collectively forming loading and the uninstalling opening of roller unit.According to the present invention, roller unit is in loading and unloading position as follows, i.e. it loads and uninstalling opening is tilted towards Shangdi and points to.That is, loading and in unloading position, cylinder axis is orientation with tilting (in horizontal plane).On the contrary, in washing process, roller unit is turned to washing location relative to loading with unloading position in the housing.At this, roller unit is perpendicular to cylinder axis around the upset axis of its upset.Preferably, upset axis is also located on horizontal plane, thus the flip-flop movement of roller unit extends in perpendicular.
Although cylinder can rotate around its cylinder axis in bucket, but in addition to that preferably in the way of can not moving, ground is hinged.When washing machine runs, that is, during a process of washing procedure flow process, therefore cylinder rotates in (anti-(rotationsfest) with the relative rotation keeps in the housing) bucket.On the contrary, moving along other directions, namely particularly in the flip-flop movement between washing location and loading and unloading position to carry out at interior unit with together with bucket.
Bucket especially serves as the container for so-called cleaning mixture or the container for clear water, and these cleaning mixture or clear water are used for washing or rinsing washings in washing process or in flushing process.Cylinder itself designs preferably by multiple wall breach with can pass through liquid, thus the cleaning mixture (or water) that is in operation when cylinder rotates to make is also in the inner chamber of cylinder, and therefore makes washings Liquid in " being positioned over " bucket.
According to described method, namely when washing machine runs, along with the startup of (selecting preferably with person is specific) washing procedure flow process, roller unit is from loading and unloading position is turned to washing location.Aptly, when whole washing procedure flow process terminates, roller unit overturns (returning) again to loading and unloading position, and and then terminates washing procedure flow process.
Loaded and unloading position updip is oriented diagonally by roller unit, for use washing machine people's (user) the operation of washing machine is become convenient.That is, user loading or both need not (as in front-loading washing machine) go down on one's knees also without squatting down during unloading roller, user when unloading also without as when upper dress formula washing machine in order to the washings of cylinder bottom can be got at and bending goes.Preferably, roller unit load and unloading position on relative to horizontal line about 30 degree to 70 degree between cylinder axis orientation, especially with the angular orientation of about 45 degree.Therefore, not only tall people and sawed-off people can see in cylinder in a straightforward manner, and in the way of touching the washings of cylinder bottom, get at cylinder depths.
In a preferred embodiment, in washing process, roller unit preferably overturns as follows on washing location, i.e. cylinder axis is horizontally oriented.Washing location is also referred to as the horizontal level of roller unit below.
In the particularly suitable embodiment of washing machine, this washing machine operationally terminates to experience another running status being referred to as dehydration afterwards at washing process.In dehydration, roller unit is in dehydration location, and preferably overturns as follows with unloading position and washing location relative to loading at this, i.e. cylinder axis is vertically oriented.The dehydration location of roller unit is also referred to as vertical position below.On washing location, especially process washing process and/or flushing process.On the contrary, on dehydration location, (preferably only) processes dehydration.In dehydration, cylinder rotates with high rotating speed, thus owing to cleaning mixture and/or water are discharged by centrifugal force at least in part from washings.Advantage here is that, when roller unit (namely also having cylinder) is in vertical position, the vibration of the cylinder caused due to imbalance in dehydration is directed predominantly perpendicular to cylinder axis and works.Therefore, it can vibration damping mechanism that is fairly simple and that be configured to roller unit at low cost (via this vibration damping mechanism, owing to cylinder is damped by idler in bucket).Additionally, when cylinder axis is horizontal, washing process and/or the water consumption in flushing process are fewer.
According to described method, therefore after washing process (and/or flushing process) terminates, for back to back dehydration, roller unit is particularly automatically turned to dehydration location from washing location, that is, it is turned to vertical position.After dehydration terminates, roller unit again overturns and returns to loading and unloading position.
In the embodiment of alternative, roller unit is not only turned to vertical position in washing process but also is turned to vertical position in dehydration.In other words, in the present embodiment, washing location is equivalent to dehydration location.In this case, roller unit preferably can only load upset between unloading position and vertical position.
In creative embodiment itself, housing have fixing, be with antetheca jaggy, when being in when roller unit in loading and unloading position, antetheca hides loading and the uninstalling opening of this roller unit.Arch upward to antetheca preferably arc-shaped, and especially adapt with the upset radius of roller unit at this.Breach is preferably to equal to or slightly greater than the radius circular ground structure of (that is, slightly larger several centimeters) radius roller.
Although within the scope of the invention, it is also recognized that the breach of (fixing) antetheca keeps opening wide (namely opening).But in order to realize extra high processing safety particularly with individual's domestic, housing has smooth sliding door in a preferred embodiment, when washing machine runs (that is, when cylinder and/or roller unit move), closely close breach by this sliding door is anti-.Sliding door here especially extends from the outside at antetheca slidably.In preferred flexible program, set up sliding door, for manually moving between its (release breach) open position and its (hiding breach) closed position.In the flexible program of alternative, sliding door couples with door drive mechanism, and therefore automatically moves between an open position and a closed.Preferably, washing machine all includes shutdown signal sensor in two kinds of flexible programs, and it is operated (triggering) when this sliding door is in detent position by sliding door, thus only just can start washing procedure flow process when sliding door is closed.Alternatively, washing machine also includes the door lock for sliding door, sets up this door lock, for sliding door being maintained at its closed position at washing procedure run duration, thus stoping in the inner chamber being close to housing.
In suitable embodiment, set up and construct sliding door in order to be moved down into open position from closed position.It is to say, move along the direction of the downside towards housing when sliding door is in an open position.
Another preferred embodiment in, sliding door constructs at least in part pellucidly, even if thus when sliding door is closed it can also be seen that enclosure interior and see roller unit.At this, sliding door preferably has the luffer boards in the window being placed to sliding door.As an alternative, sliding door is preferably made up of transparent material (such as by glass, but especially by synthetic material), wherein, alternatively, (window frame that especially surround, similar) marginal area of sliding door designs (being such as japanning or back of the body spray) opaquely.
In favourable embodiment, washing machine has corrugated tube, and this corrugated tube is arranged between roller unit and antetheca.The spacing closing between antetheca and roller unit to liquid seal when especially setting up corrugated tube in order to be in loading and unloading position when roller unit.For this, corrugated tube preferably at least on the subregion of its longitudinal direction particularly vertically moving on one's own initiative, that is the mode automatically vertically moved constructs.In this design, corrugated tube (the aircraft shelter bridge on similar airport) location is resisted against on antetheca (or on roller unit) regularly, and only under removal state when roller unit is in loading with unloading position " docking " to roller unit (or antetheca) above (namely remove and with roller unit or antetheca liquid seal contact).On the contrary, at washing machine run duration (namely during washing process, flushing process or dehydration), corrugated tube moves into resting position (its contraction in length), thus roller unit can relative to antetheca freely-movable.It is particularly preferred that corrugated tube is fixed on antetheca and can remove on one's own initiative along the direction towards roller unit and move into.Particularly effectively being prevented by corrugated tube, when loading with unloading roller, washings and/or liquid can enter in the gap between antetheca and roller unit, hence in the inner chamber of housing.
In suitable improvement project, aforesaid corrugated tube couples with pumping-out line.This pumping-out line constructs as follows, i.e. directly or indirectly guide the liquid dripping on corrugated tube from the housing of washing machine.In simple flexible program, pumping-out line is only formed by the route of pipe line or flexible line, the discharge portion that this pumping-out line is drawn from housing and (such as in the space serving as laundry) extends to housing side when washing machine is in the standing state by regulation.But in suitable flexible program, pumping-out line couples with the waste water system of washing machine, thus the liquid gathered on corrugated tube if desired is pumped away in flushing process together with cleaning mixture and/or water from washing machine.
In suitable embodiment, washing machine includes the closing cap of the loading for roller unit and the uninstalling opening being referred to as drum cover.This drum cover is arranged on roller unit as follows at washing machine run duration, i.e. load and uninstalling opening is closed by liquid seal.In an advantageous manner, drum cover designs as follows at this, i.e. the separation gap formed between the edge of the edge of end-side openings of cylinder and the end-side openings of bucket to make cylinder rotate freely in bucket is covered.Especially drum cover is equipped with the jut pointing to cylinder at this, and this jut is partially projecting in cylinder when drum cover is closed, thus hiding separation gap.Thus, prevent washings to be trapped in separation gap when washing machine runs and impaired at this with simple and effective manner, or prevent in these washings " loss " intermediate cavity between bucket and cylinder.Additionally, when roller unit is horizontal, drum cover prevents cleaning mixture or water from flowing out from bucket.When being not provided with the horizontal level of roller unit, it is possible to select the embodiment without drum cover.
With suitable way, drum cover can be hinged on roller unit to rotation.At this, especially set up drum cover in order to manual operation, be at least manual-lock.And in optional and preferred embodiment, roller unit is provided with the lock automatically opened up for drum cover.Especially set up this lock for triggering along with operating element after opening at sliding door (such as along with handling limit switch by sliding door to its open position, or along with being pressed the button by user) it is automatically turned on drum cover, thus drum cover especially swings to its open position under (dampened) spring mechanism effect.

Detailed description of the invention
Washing machine 1 is illustrated in FIG with schematic cross section.Washing machine 1 includes housing 2 and roller unit 3.Roller unit 3 has bucket 4 and the columned cylinder 5 of cup-shaped.Cylinder 5 is supported in the way of rotating around cylinder axis (being referred to below as cylinder axis 6) in bucket 4.On one of them side of this cylinder, bucket 4 has barrel opening 7, and cylinder 5 has cylinder opening 8.Bucket opening 7 and cylinder opening 8 hide at least in part mutually, and here constitute loading and the uninstalling opening 9 of roller unit 3.It is for being loaded into washings in cylinder 5, or they is unloaded from cylinder 5.Additionally, roller unit 3 can be hinged in housing 2 in the way of upset axis 10 upset.
Bucket 4 holds water or so-called " cleaning mixture " (water and additive, the often mixture of detergent) when washing machine 1 runs.Cylinder 5 has the not detailed breach illustrated, cleaning mixture or water in its side face and enters the inner chamber of cylinder 5 through these breach, and soaks the washings being located therein.Operationally, cylinder 5 rotates around cylinder axis 6 in the way of being driven by drum motor 11, and from there through cylinder wall, especially the rib 12 from cylinder wall to inner process makes washings move across cleaning mixture or water.
In order to prevent cleaning mixture or water from entering the inner chamber 13 of housing 2 from bucket 4 when cylinder 5 rotates, roller unit 3 is operationally closed by drum cover 14 liquid seal.Drum cover 14 designs as follows at this, i.e. it also hides the separation gap 15 formed between the edge of the edge of bucket opening 7 and cylinder opening 8 except sealing bucket opening 7.In order to make cylinder 5 can rotate freely in bucket 4, this separation gap 15 is necessary.Therefore, also prevent washings by drum cover 14 and enter separation gap 15 and or loss impaired at this.
As can as seen from Figure 2, drum cover 14 can swingingly be hinged on the end wall section 16 of bucket 4.End wall section 16 hides cylinder opening 8 with the form of the round section of the circle of about 1/4th from the upside of housing, has smooth circular shape thus loading with uninstalling opening 9, particularly the shape of the round section of 3/4ths circles.
Housing 2 has the antetheca 20 accomplishing circular arc in front side, and this antetheca is matched with the upset radius of roller unit 3.Antetheca 20 includes the breach 21 of circle, and this breach covers in loading and the uninstalling opening 9 of roller unit 3 when roller unit 3 is in shown position.In order to open and close breach 21, housing 2 includes sliding door 22, and this sliding door can move to open position 24 shown in fig. 2 from closed position 23 shown in FIG along the direction of the downside towards housing 2 in the not detailed guide rail illustrated.Sliding door 22 has the not detailed transparent luffer boards illustrated, user can pass through these luffer boards and see inner chamber 13, especially sees roller unit 3.In the embodiment shown, sliding door 22 can move in a manual fashion and have handle 25 for this.In the embodiment of unshowned alternative, washing machine 1 has for being automatically turned on and the door drive mechanism of closing sliding doors 22.
Washing machine 1 also includes control unit 30, and this control unit is configured to the different process controllers presetting and be the specific programmable washing procedure flow process of user.In order to show and select default washing procedure flow process and in order to input (programming) for the specific washing procedure flow process of user, control unit 30 includes touch screen 31.In unshowned embodiment, screen 31 is not embodied as a part for control unit 30, but control unit 30 include for be separately installed with the smart mobile phone of the operation software (such as application program) adapting to this washing machine 1 especially and/or tablet PC thereon or other computers carry out the interface of physical connection or wireless connections.
In order to the additive (especially detergent and/or softening agent) adding cleaning mixture is carried out dosage, washing machine 1 includes (master) metering unit 35.This metering unit is arranged in the base region 36 of housing 2, and has one or more supply container to hold the supply of the additive of solid-state, Powdered and/or liquid.When control unit 30 is preset (that is, the washing procedure flow process according to selected), metering unit 35 dosage from each supply container goes out to add the special predetermined amount of the additive of cleaning mixture.It is shipped in bucket 4 via pump 37.
Additionally, washing machine 1 includes for for the accommodation of the specific additive of user and delivery device 38, and these additives are by user dosage voluntarily and/or add (such as specific detergents such as silks).This accommodation and delivery device 38 are arranged in the end wall section 16 of bucket 4.Holding and delivery device 38 includes that two both sides at end wall section 16 open renovates, the two renovates closing supply chamber.In this supply chamber, additive is inserted from outside by user.Internal renovate set up for, provide signal according to control unit 30 at washing machine 1 run duration and inwardly discharge additive in cylinder 5.
If washing machine 1 does not run, roller unit 3 is located in loading and unloading position 40.Loading with in unloading position 40 at this, roller unit 3 overturns around its upset axis 10 as follows, i.e. cylinder axis 6 tilts upward, and here points to the angle of 45 degree.Thus, the loading of roller unit 3 and uninstalling opening 9 are also tilted towards Shangdi and point to, and the loading and unloading to cylinder 5 is exceptionally convenient for the user.In order to prevent loading and washings or be likely to from washings the liquid of drippage and enter in inner chamber 13 during unloading, washing machine 1 includes corrugated tube 41.This corrugated tube 41 is arranged on the inner side of antetheca 20 around breach 21 ground, and can regulate its length between antetheca 20 and roller unit 3 in an automated way by the not detailed drive mechanism illustrated.Loading and in unloading position 40, corrugated tube 41 remove and liquid seal " docking " on the side of roller unit 3 (namely on bucket 4) (see Fig. 1 and 2).Corrugated tube 41 also couples with (not detailed illustrate) pumping-out line, the liquid dropped onto on corrugated tube 41 flows to the waste water system of washing machine 1 via this pumping-out line, thus it being derived from housing 2.
In order to load cylinder 5, sliding door 22 is slided into its open position 24 by user, and opening drum cover 14 by pressing the button, this drum cover and then automatically (is such as carried out drivingly) rotation open position shown in fig. 2 to it by spring mechanism.After completing loading, user is closed drum lid 14 manually, is loaded into by additive if desired in accommodation and delivery device 38, and closing sliding doors 22.And then, user selects desired washing procedure flow process on screen 31, and starts it.
After starting washing procedure flow process, under the first running status, roller unit 3 is turned to (unshowned in figure 3) washing location from loading and unloading position 40, and on this position, cylinder axis 6 is horizontally oriented.This washing location is referred to below as horizontal level 42.The upset of roller unit 3 realizes by turning device 43 that is shown and that next describe in Figure 5.When roller unit 3 is horizontal 42, carry out washing process and possible flushing flow process.Now, via pump 37, cleaning mixture (being clear water in rinsing flow process) is imported in bucket 4.Cylinder 5 rotates when reverse direction repeatedly with smaller rotating speed during this period.Thus, washings is washed liquid and moistens and move back and forth tempestuously in cleaning mixture, in order to wash away spot.In being likely to back to back flushing process, cleaning mixture is replaced by clear water, and therefore detergent residual is washed away from washings.
In order to reduce the amount of liquid being received in washings after following washing process and/or flushing process closely, it it is the second running status after following the first running status closely, under the second running status, cylinder 5 rotates with high rotating speed, and liquid is discharged (being referred to below as dehydration) due to centrifugal force from washings.For dehydration, roller unit 3 is turned to dehydration location, and on this dehydration location, cylinder axis 6 is vertically oriented (being referred to below as vertical position 44).The vertical position 44 of roller unit 3 figure 4 illustrates.Advantage is in that, when cylinder is vertically placed, the vibration caused due to imbalance in dehydration is mainly perpendicular to cylinder axis 6 and works, and is only insignificant along the direction of cylinder axis 6.
In order to washings being distributed uniformly as far as possible on the inwall of cylinder 5 can be realized, from but the imbalance little as far as possible dehydration of cylinder 5, and washing or flushing process and and dehydration between (that is, before roller unit 3 is turned to vertical position 44 from horizontal level 42), the unbalanced measured value symbolizing cylinder 5 is obtained by control unit, for instance the motor current of drum motor 11 when cylinder 5 rotates.Additionally, the rotating speed of cylinder 5 changes at this (according to measured value).The washings transposition abutting on inwall can be made by the change of rotating speed.Learn the sufficiently small imbalance of cylinder 5 if exceeding threshold value especially in accordance with measured value, control unit 30 is with regard to the rotating speed of unexpected hoisting drum 5.Thus, washings is extruded on the inwall of cylinder 5 due to centrifugal force, and is therefore fixed on their position.And then, roller unit 3 is turned on vertical position 44, and the rotating speed of cylinder 5 rises to the dehydrating speed preset into dehydration further.
After terminating dehydration, roller unit 3 automatically overturns and returns to loading and unloading position 40.
Alternative such as footwear washing procedure flow process in, can be provided that within the scope of the invention, for washing flow, roller unit 3 be retained in loading and unloading position 40 on.In another washing procedure flow process for high-count fabric (such as Pilus Caprae seu Ovis, silk or the like), it is also possible to be provided that, carry out washing flow when roller unit 3 is in vertical position 44.
Figure 5 illustrates the optional embodiment of washing machine 1.Washing machine 1 includes the display board 50 on two outer walls being fixed on bucket at this.The two display board is a part for display device, in order to provide the information of the running status about washing machine 1 to user.Display board 50 is fixed in such a way, i.e. can see one of them display board 50 when horizontal level 42 through the luffer boards of sliding door 22, and when vertical position 44 it can be seen that another display board 50.Such as, the two display board is with picture " dehydration " or " washing process " such word, or is configured to electronic displays (such as LCD) as an alternative, and it shows the remaining runtime of corresponding washing process, flushing process or dehydration.
Also illustrating that turning device 43 in Figure 5, this turning device includes electro-motor 55 and the chain drive 56 for transferring force on roller unit 3.Thus, turning device 43 is designed to comparison and consolidates, thus decreasing particularly in loading and the vibration of roller unit 3 or beat during unloading position 40.Additionally, washing machine 1 also includes multiple support component 60, and on horizontal level 42, roller unit 3 overturns and be held against these support components.These support components 60 have the damping layer being made up of elastomer.Therefore, the roller unit 3 freedom of motion on horizontal level 42 is largely limited.Because dehydration carries out when cylinder 5 is in vertical position 44 with high drum rotation speed, so on horizontal level 42, only there is almost insignificant vibration without being buffered in roller unit 3.Therefore, it can save spring mechanism costly and damping mechanism, and instead use the support component 60 of simple structure.
The embodiment of another alternative of washing machine 1 is shown in figure 6 and figure 7.In such an embodiment, drum cover 14 is not to be hinged on end wall section 16 to rotation, but can be kept completely separate with roller unit 3.For this, washing machine 1 includes the device being referred to as remaining device 62, and it has chute and guides mechanism 63, guides mechanism by this chute, and drum cover 14 is taken off and transfer to when roller unit 3 is in vertical position 44 in accommodation portion 64 from this roller unit.In this accommodation portion 64, drum cover is on the stop place 65 shown in Fig. 6.And then, (open) roller unit 3 to be turned in loading and unloading position 40.
Correspondingly, first roller unit 3 is turned on vertical position 44 according to the startup of washing procedure flow process in turn, and drum cover 14 is laid and locking by remaining device 62.And then roller unit 3 is turned on corresponding position (that is, especially on horizontal level 42).
In Fig. 8 to Figure 10, it is shown that the embodiment of another alternative of washing machine 1.For the purpose simplifying diagram, not shown metering unit 35 and pump 37 here.Metering unit 35 in this embodiment can choice arrangement on the upside of housing 2.
In the embodiment according to Fig. 8 to Figure 10, antetheca 20 ground that can move designs according to the type of shutter (or roller wall), and couples with it to move in the same manner with roller unit 3.Therefore, the breach 21 of antetheca 20 overlaps with the loading of roller unit 3 and uninstalling opening 9 all the time.On the roller 70 that antetheca 20 is rolled onto respectively on the upside being arranged in housing 2 according to the direction of motion and is arranged in the pedestal 36 of housing 2, or launch from it.For loading and the uninstalling opening 9 of the breach 21 and roller unit 3 of jointly closing antetheca 20, washing machine 1 has handling door 71.This handling door constructs in such a way, i.e. it not only bridges the spacing between antetheca 20 and roller unit 3, and hides the separation gap 15 (see Fig. 9 and Figure 10) between cylinder 5 and bucket 4.In this embodiment, load and uninstalling opening 9 constructs circularly.Corrugated tube 41 is not implement in the way of energy is longitudinally adjusted, but continues to couple with antetheca 20 and roller unit 3.
Figure 11 illustrates the another embodiment of washing machine 1.In this embodiment, antetheca 20 is also to construct with moving, and couples with it to move along with roller unit 3.At this, antetheca 20 is formed by multiple thin slices 72, and they are placed transverse to the direction of motion of roller unit 3, and slide stackedly each other on the upside of housing 2 or in pedestal 36 when roller unit 3 overturns.
Another embodiment of washing machine 1 is shown again in fig. 12.At this, mobile (can move) antetheca 20 substantially firmly constructs itself.That is, antetheca 20 is embodied as a kind of front panel arched upward, and it slides in housing 2 along the guiding piece in base region 36 when roller unit 3 is turned to washing location 42, and correspondingly removes from this housing on the upside of housing 2.In order to the extension relative to the substantially round section form of upset axis 10 of antetheca 20 is kept as little as far as possible, and therefore realize short as far as possible in the base region 36 of housing 2 of antetheca 20 and sink to path, housing 2 is provided with baffle plate 73 (housing boss) (being shown in section in fig. 12) in base region 36.This block baffle plate 73 partly hides handling door 71 when roller unit 3 is in washing location 42.Similar baffle plate 74 is arranged on the upside of housing 2.Thus, antetheca 20 can cover less than four above and below breach 21/area of individual circle, thus having only to reserve little structure space in housing 2, in order to hold the section to sink to of antetheca 20.On housing 2, two baffle plates 73 or 74 are provided with anti-close to guard member 75, for instance relatively harder brush seal or rubber lip, as anti-pinch protection.
