Summary of the invention
The present invention makes in order to solve above-mentioned problem, and main purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of washed tumbling-box washing machine that tangles can be difficult to produce drum cover and close the time.In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a kind of tumbling-box washing machine that prevents that foreign matter from flying out to the water jacket side from cylinder inside.
The 1st invention that is used to solve above-mentioned problem relates to a kind of tumbling-box washing machine, in this tumbling-box washing machine, the inside of the water jacket in being arranged at outer container according to trunnion axis or sloping shaft being center and free rotation mode is provided with side face is cylinder cylindraceous substantially, is characterized in that:
On the side face of this cylinder, be provided for making the cylinder opening of washed turnover, in order to realize the switching of this cylinder opening, drum cover is set, this drum cover is center and two lids of the 1st, the 2nd lid can splitting form by substantially parallel with drum shaft axle, when closing, in the acies portion of the 1st lid, overlap the acies portion that the 2nd lid is arranged, this drum cover has the holding section that engages mutually with this coincidence part;
When closing above-mentioned drum cover, aspect the cylinder of the main element of the 1st lid that is positioned at cylinder side's side, extended part is installed, this extended part has the front end of above-mentioned relatively acies portion, the extension that further stretches out to the 2nd lid side.
In the tumbling-box washing machine of the 1st invention, extended part is installed on the main body bottom surface of the 1st lid, the coincidence part of two lids enlarges in fact thus, from the engaging position of two lids of this coincidence part to the extension front end of extension component, that is, directly increase in the face of the distance between the position of side in the cylinder.Thus, when being that a large amount of washed state closed drums that is received in the cylinder covers, by the extended part of being installed on the 1st lid of closing, with the washed interior square side of cylinder that is pressed into prior to the 2nd lid.In addition, even be loaded in washed end under the situation on the end face of extension, because longer, so this washedly is difficult to arrive this holding section to the distance of holding section.So, overlap at two lids, by the engaging of two holding sections, when drum cover was in closed condition, washed being difficult to hung on the holding section.That is washed the tangling in the time of, can preventing effectively that drum cover from closing.
In addition, best in the tumbling-box washing machine of the 1st invention, above-mentioned extended part is in the drum cover closed condition, in the cylinder of above-mentioned extension and the 2nd lid aspect between form the such shape in gap.
According to such scheme, when closed drum covered, above-mentioned extended part was difficult to contact with the 2nd lid, can avoid forming the obstruction of the snap action of two lids.In addition, even when being the closed drum lid, washed end is sandwiched in the cylinder of extension and the 2nd lid under the situation between the aspect, between still forms suitable gap, thus, in water jacket, supplying water, washed suction, when cylinder begins to rotate, the washed end of clamping breaks away from from this gap easily.Thus, can alleviate the state that is sandwiched between two lids washed, the situation of the running of doing washing.
In addition, best in this occasion, the extension of above-mentioned extended part is to be followed towards front end, the oblique shape of square inclination in cylinder.
According to this scheme, even be in the process of closed drum lid, under the situation of the washed end face that is loaded into extension, washedly still fall cylinder inside along the inclined plane easily, can alleviate washed situation about being sandwiched between two lids.In addition, because in the drum cover closing state, the gap in the cylinder of extension and the 2nd lid between the aspect is followed towards the extension front end and is enlarged, so even under washed end is sandwiched in situation in this gap, washed still easily from this gap disengaging.Thus, can further alleviate the situation that state in the washed gap that is sandwiched in two lids washs running.
But, if in the drum cover closed condition, increase, so the foreign matter than thin shape of the coin that drops out from the pocket of clothing etc. in cylinder inside etc. skids off, flies to the water jacket side between two lids easily in the coincidence part gap of two lids.So in the tumbling-box washing machine of the 1st invention, but also following manner constitutes, this mode is: aspect in the cylinder of the 2nd lid, when drum cover is closed, near the position at the front end place of above-mentioned extension, bellying is set.
Because when drum cover is closed, above-mentioned bellying is near the front end of extension, so even under the situation of the such shape that approaches of coin, the situation that still stops foreign matter to pass through to discharge.Obviously, though in this occasion, has the danger in the washed narrower gap that is sandwiched between bellying and the extension front end, but, be skewed if resemble above-mentioned, then be loaded into the washed cylinder inside that almost all before drum cover is closed fully, is slipped on the end face of extension, thus such as the end face of extension, in fact, almost not with washed situation of clamping.
In addition, best in the tumbling-box washing machine of the 1st invention, above-mentioned extended part is the shape that square side bloats in cylinder.
By forming such shape, washedly when closing, drum cover suitably is pressed into side in the cylinder because of what overflow, be received in cylinder inside from the cylinder opening, thus, can prevent washed two situations between the lid that are sandwiched in more effectively.
In the tumbling-box washing machine of above-mentioned the 1st invention, because the acies portion front end of the 1st lid extends along the direction of the 2nd lid in fact, so adopt of advantage of the extended part that is independent of main element to be that each parts is easily by being fit to the different material formation of corresponding target.Such as, because lid constitutes the part of the side face of cylinder, so the main element of best lid is by forming as the metal with the stainless steel material of cylinder identical materials etc., but consider the easiness of moulding, surperficial lubricity etc., extended part can be one-body molded of plastics.In addition, by like this, form separate part, also change the shape of extended part easily corresponding to the change of type etc.In addition, in the cylinder of the main element by independent extended part being installed on the 1st lid on the aspect, extended part is arranged at square side in the cylinder according to the thickness of main element at least, thus, also easily as above-mentioned, in the cylinder of extension and the 2nd lid aspect between form the gap.
Obviously, in order to obtain to prevent the washed effect of discharging passed through that tangles, prevents foreign matter as described above, aforementioned body parts and extended part also can one be decided to be separate part, also can be the scheme of following such the 2nd invention.
Promptly, the 2nd invention that is used to solve above-mentioned problem relates to a kind of tumbling-box washing machine, in this tumbling-box washing machine, and the inside of the water jacket in being arranged at outer container, according to trunnion axis or sloping shaft being center and free rotation mode is provided with side face is cylinder cylindraceous substantially, it is characterized in that:
On the side face of this cylinder, be provided for making the cylinder opening of washed turnover, for the switching that realizes this cylinder opening is provided with drum cover, this drum cover is center and two lids of the 1st, the 2nd lid can splitting form by substantially parallel with drum shaft axle, when closing, overlap the acies portion that the 2nd lid is arranged in the acies portion of the 1st lid, this drum cover has the holding section that engages mutually with this coincidence part;
When closing above-mentioned drum cover, be shape at the 1st lid that is positioned at cylinder side's side with extension, this extension stretches out with big length to the 2nd lid side, so that guarantee from the distance between the acies of holding section to the 2 lid sides of this lid, in the cylinder of the 2nd lid aspect, when drum cover is closed the front end place of above-mentioned extension the position near bellying is set.
In the tumbling-box washing machine of the 2nd invention, main element at the 1st lid originally is provided with extension on one's body, like this, increases engaging position from two lids to the extension front end, promptly with cylinder in the distance of the position directly faced, side, prevent the washed situation that is hung on the engaging thing when drum cover is closed.In general, form extension, then when drum cover is closed, contact the obstruction closing motion with aspect in the cylinder of the 2nd lid if enlarge the acies of the main element of the 1st lid in the past same as before as the crow flies.So extension can be in cylinder the curved shape that the side has a down dip, or be and have identical or than the bending of its little radius of curvature with circumferential cylinder surface.
In addition, in the tumbling-box washing machine of the 1st invention and the 2nd invention, be easy to generate washed the tangling, clamp of the coincidence part of two lids, in addition, gap between the side edge part of the both sides acies of the 1st lid and the 2nd lid and the cylinder opening relative with it is easy to generate washed clamping.In order to prevent washed the clamping of such lid side, the tumbling-box washing machine of the 1st invention and the 2nd invention can constitute in the following manner, this mode is: the 1st lid in above-mentioned cylinder aspect, in position, have the counter-lateral quadrents that the side bloats in cylinder and bloat body near the both side edges portion of cylinder opening.
In the tumbling-box washing machine of the 1st invention, above-mentioned sidepiece bloats body and is arranged on the above-mentioned extended part with being integral, still, also can be independent of extended part and is provided with.In addition, in the tumbling-box washing machine of the 2nd invention, the main element of the 1st lid itself also can be and has the shape that above-mentioned sidepiece bloats body, still, also can with as discrete item such as, the sidepiece of improved plastics structural shape bloats body and is installed on the main element.
In all case, when drum cover is closed, sidepiece bloats body will be received in the interior washed interior square side of cylinder that is pressed into of cylinder, prevent that washed both sides acies from the 1st lid from exposing.Thus, can prevent situation in the gap between the side edge part of washed both sides acies that is sandwiched in the 1st lid and cylinder opening effectively.In addition,, constitute encumbrance, so also prevent effectively such as, the situation that the foreign matter of coin etc. breaks away and to water jacket by above-mentioned gap towards the path of the foreign matter in above-mentioned gap because this sidepiece bloats body in cylinder inside.
In addition, because not only at the 1st lid, and the gap between the side edge part of the both sides of the 2nd lid acies and the cylinder opening relative with it also produces washed clamping, so it is best, the the 1st and the 2nd tumbling-box washing machine constitutes in the following manner, this mode is: above-mentioned the 2nd lid in above-mentioned cylinder aspect, in position, have the counter-lateral quadrents that the side bloats in cylinder and bloat body near the both side edges portion of cylinder opening.
According to this scheme, when drum cover was closed, sidepiece bloated body and will be received in washed in the cylinder and be pressed into square side in the cylinder, prevented that washed both side edges portion from the 2nd lid from exposing.Thus, can prevent the situation in the gap between the side edge part of washed both sides acies that is sandwiched in the 2nd lid and cylinder opening effectively, can prevent that the foreign matter of coin etc. from skidding off the situation of water jacket side by above-mentioned gap simultaneously.
But, in such cylinder the side bloat body when stirring the rotary speed swing roller of washed degree, can constitute the barrier of washed contact, hinder washed stirring smoothly.In addition, because of the impact of washed contact, lid rocks significantly, follows this situation, also can cause the engaging disengagement of two lids, the situation that drum cover is optionally opened.So, preferably alleviate the impact that contacts that the washed and above-mentioned sidepiece that moves bloats body as much as possible in cylinder when cylinder rotates.
As concrete a kind of form, best, bloat body at above-mentioned sidepiece, the face towards the place ahead of the rotation of cylinder is at least formed by the higher face of lubricity.According to this scheme,, can suppress rocking of lid even be because friction between the two is less, to get final product from the impact of washed reception is less under the situation of cylinder washed contact of when rotation so sidepiece bloats body.In addition, be on both of the 1st lid and the 2nd lid the occasion that sidepiece bloats body to be set, when cylinder is closed, both sides bloat the body utmost point near to or in contact with scheme in, best, should near to or in contact with face between also can form the higher face of lubricity.Thus, when the switching of drum cover,, do not require that the user adopts bigger operating physical force, can successfully carry out the switching of drum cover even under both friction situation, still do not produce bigger frictional force.
As another form, also can constitute in the following manner, this mode is: bloat the face of body towards the place ahead of the rotation of cylinder at least at above-mentioned sidepiece and be the oblique shape of direction rear swivel inclination in cylinder.According to this scheme, if when cylinder rotates, washedly bloat body with sidepiece and contact, then washedly do not bear bigger resistance and just can be sent to the rear swivel side along the inclined plane.Thus, it is less from the impact of washed reception that sidepiece bloats body, can suppress rocking of lid.
Also have, as another form, above-mentioned sidepiece bloats body and also can be formed by flexible material.
But, owing to too be easy to occasion in deflection, can't when closing, drum cover obtain to be pressed into washed effect, so to obtain the washed effect that is pressed into to a certain degree, simultaneously, washed during with the contact of the good impetus when cylinder rotates, its suitable deflection is regulated at the state that can relax its impact.Obviously, bloating body, mainly expecting the occasion that discharge prevents effect of passing through of foreign matter for sidepiece, even it is being easy under the situation of deflection, still no problem.
If like this, adopt the tumbling-box washing machine of the 1st and the 2nd invention, then the user is when the operation of carrying out closed drum lid, can alleviate washed be hung on the holding section of lid and make washedly tangled, washed be sandwiched between two lids or lid and cylinder opening between rough sledding.Thus, can prevent washed damage.In addition, prevent because above-mentioned washed tangling, clamp that the incomplete situation of closing by the drum cover of the engaging of two lids like this, can prevent in the cylinder rotation situation that drum cover oneself is opened.
In addition, since can prevent foreign matter from the gap between gap, lid and the cylinder opening between two lids of drum cover by discharging, so can prevent to enter state between water jacket and the cylinder at such foreign matter, the generation of the unusual noise when cylinder rotates at a high speed, and the utmost point prevents damage, the breakage of water jacket effectively.
In addition, in following occasion, be the user according to the inner cap of closing the outer channel opening of switching that is arranged on the water jacket, also in the lid structure that the drum cover of inboard is also closed, may whether tangle washed by the Visual Confirmation drum cover hardly, like this, the user must have following worry in the past, and promptly the utmost point does not cautiously make it expose washed putting into, still, tumbling-box washing machine according to the 1st and the 2nd invention can alleviate the user's of this respect burden.

As shown in Figure 6, inner cap 100 can be the sideway swivel of center back side along the inner cap axle 101 that left and right directions essentially horizontally extend, by being wound in the not shown torsion coil spring on the inner cap axle 101, along opening the direction biasing.The inside of inner cap 100 is hollow form, comprise the inner cap locking mechanism 112 and latch-release mechanism 114 that are used for inner cap 100 is kept closed condition, this latch-release mechanism 114 remove corresponding to the open operation of user's inner cap 100 inner cap locking mechanism 112 inner cap 100 close lock-out state, and remove the locking of drum cover 200 described later.Inner cap locking mechanism 112 comprises buckle cam 113, and this buckle cam 113 has from forwards outstanding two intermediate plates up and down of the leading edge of inner cap 100.In addition, latch-release mechanism 114 comprises beats pin 115, and this beats pin 115 and operates interlock with action bars 110 pull-up of side forwards of the end face that is arranged at inner cap 100, and its bottom flies out from the inner face of inner cap 100, to the inboard of water jacket 11, i.e. the direction of cylinder 14 turnover.
As Fig. 6's~shown in Figure 8, drum cover 200 is made of the place ahead lid 202 and rear lid 204 these two lids, this the place ahead lid 202 constitutes the 1st lid of the present invention, it rotates freely for the center along the preceding square shaft 201 that left and right directions essentially horizontally extends, this rear lid 204 constitutes the 2nd lid of the present invention, and it rotates freely for the center along the rear axis 203 that left and right directions essentially horizontally extends equally.When drum cover was closed, the front-end edge of this rear lid 204 coincided with on the back acies of the place ahead lid 202, and when open, two lids 202,204 are in the state of splitting along front and back (with reference to Fig. 4).
This place ahead lid 202, is setovered along opening direction similarly by being wound in the torsion coil spring 211 on the rear axis 203 by the torsion coil spring 210 on the square shaft 201 before being wound in, rear lid 204.The place ahead lid 202 comprises engaging pawl 205 upwards, is being provided with the supporting plate 206 that pin 115 is contacted that beats described later near oneself side.If push this supporting plate 206 from the top, then the place ahead lid 202 rotated for the middle mind-set cylinder 14 inboard modes that descend according to former square shaft 201, if removing this pushes, then descended from this and recovered.
The front-end edge of lid 204 has the connecting hole 207 that above-mentioned engaging pawl 205 engages in the wings, is fixed with protective cover 208 at its end face.As shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 8 (b), engaging pawl 205 is chimeric with connecting hole 207, and the place ahead lid 202 and rear lid 204 are in the closing state with cylinder opening 14a thus.If from then on state will push away on the supporting plate 206, then the place ahead lid 202 descends, and engaging pawl 205 is thrown off with connecting hole 207, and by the bias force of torsion coil spring 210,211, two lids 202,204 are opened respectively.
The place ahead lid 202 is connected by forniciform connecting rod 214 by articulated jib 212,213 respectively with rear lid 204.The function of this connecting rod 214 be according at two lids 202,204 when the state of opening is closed, the mode that the place ahead lid 202 must be closed prior to rear lid 204 limits the action of two lids 202,204, makes their interlocks simultaneously.Thus, when drum cover 200 was closed, the state of the exterior region of rear lid 204 on the hinder marginal part that is equipped on the place ahead lid 202 overlapped, and realizes the snap action between engaging pawl 205 as described above and the connecting hole 207 really.
Connecting rod 214 left and right symmetricallies are arranged at the both sides acies of cylinder opening 14a, still, if expose its inside at cylinder 14, owing to have the washed danger of clamping, cover by the connection cover 220 as improved plastics structural shape.So, the deburring of the both sides acies of cylinder opening 14a by connecting cover 220, the both side edges end of the place ahead lid 202 and rear lid 204 is connected cover 220 respectively and faces with two sides.
In addition, the inner face of lid 202 forwardly promptly, on the interior side's of cylinder 14 face, is installed extended part 230 as the improved plastics structural shape of the more important feature of the tumbling-box washing machine of present embodiment by screw.Extended part 230 is as Fig. 6, Fig. 8, shown in Figure 9, be included in the side-prominent extension 230b of rear lid 204 of bellying 230a that the interior side of cylinder 14 bloats and main part in the place ahead lid 202, in addition, the end face of extension 230b forms and follows towards front to the oblique inclined plane 230c of interior side's inclination of cylinder 14.Effect about extended part 203 will be explained hereinafter.
Action during below to the switching of the inner cap 100 of realizing said structure and drum cover 200 is described.As shown in Figure 6, inner cap 100 and drum cover 200 be locking in off position all.That is, in inner cap 100, the intermediate plate that is rotated in of the buckle cam 113 of inner cap locking mechanism 112 is bitten the state that stretches out sheet 120 of water jacket 11 sides and is stoped.In addition, in drum cover 200, at the state that engaging pawl 205 inserts in the connecting hole 207, the place ahead lid 202 and rear lid 204 overlap.
If from this state, the user to rising near own layback, then by following the action of the latch-release mechanism 114 that this operation moves, beats action bars 110 pin 115 and descends.Owing to the supporting plate 206 that the place ahead lid 202 is set at the down position that beats pin 115, so if beat pin 115 with turnover largely, then push supporting plate 206 downwards its bottom.Thus, the place ahead lid 202 rotated for the mode that the center descends according to former square shaft 201, and engaging pawl 205 is thrown off from connecting hole 207.So rear lid 204 along the rotation of evolution direction, is followed this situation by the bias force of torsion coil spring 212, the place ahead lid 202 is also opened along open direction.This action is the latch-release action of drum cover 200.
On the other hand, the pull-up of attended operation bar 110 operation, latch-release mechanism 114 removes the rotation stopping of the buckle cam 113 of inner cap locking mechanism 112.So by the bias force of spring, buckle cam 113 is rotation in the counterclockwise direction in Fig. 6, by this revolving force, the intermediate plate of buckle cam 113 with stretch out sheet 120 and throw off, the leading edge of inner cap 100 is lifted on slightly.This action is the latch-release action of inner cap 100.In the process of user's pull-up action bars 110, as above-mentioned, remove the locking of drum cover 200, after this is removed, will lift on rear lid 204 and the place ahead lid 202 at once.Usually, because at the moment, inner cap 100 is not opened as yet, so two lids 202,204 contact with the bottom surface of inner cap 100.So, user's pull-up action bars 110, remove the locking of inner cap 100 and drum cover 200, then, if, open rearward with carrying on the inner cap 100, then follow this action, the state of rear lid 204 on the bottom surface that is attached at inner cap 100, rotation rearward substantially integratedly, the place ahead lid 202 sideway swivel forwards.Like this, by the opening operation of inner cap 100, drum cover 200 also is in the state of splitting along fore-and-aft direction.
When closing the inner cap 100 that is in full-gear like this and drum cover 200, the user at first carries out rear lid 204 realizing the operation of closing near oneself sideway swivel.At this moment, by the effect of connecting rod 214, the place ahead lid 202 rotates prior to rear lid 204, and then, rear lid 204 overlaps.Then, if the user pushes on the protective cover 208 on the rear lid 204 slightly, it is chimeric with connecting hole 207 then to engage pawl 205, and drum cover 200 is in the state of locking.Like this, behind the first closed drum lid 200, the user with inner cap 100 to falling near own inclination.So sheet 120 is stretched out in the intermediate plate clamping of buckle cam 113, at this state, stop the rotation of buckle cam 113, inner cap 110 is also locked in off position.
In addition, in this tumbling-box washing machine, mode according to the manual shutoff operation that carries out drum cover 200 and inner cap 100 respectively constitutes, but, also can constitute in the following manner, promptly, if state at two lid 200,100 standard-sized sheets, the user carries out inner cap 100 to the closing motion that falls near own inclination, then in the promotion that is subjected to this inner cap 100, rear lid 204 is forwards toppled over, and rearward topples over action interlock the place ahead lid 202 of this rear lid 204, finally also realizes the locking of drum cover 200.As an example, can adopt following such scheme.
Promptly; in scheme shown in Figure 6; beat pin 115 in the setting of the inside of inner cap 100; this beats pin 115 and pushes the place ahead lid 202 from the top; so that realize the latch-release of drum cover 200; but different therewith, that can advance and retreat according to the mode of pushing the protective cover 208 on the rear lid 204 from the top beats the inside that pin is arranged at inner cap 100.Know that according to top description the state that overlaps with rear lid 204 of lid 202 forwardly is pressed into the interior side of cylinder 14 slightly with rear lid 204, engaging pawl 205 engages with connecting hole 207, the locking of realization drum cover 200.So, button, the such operating portion of sliding bar are set on the end face of inner cap 100, follow the operation of this operating portion, the pin that beats of drum cover locking usefulness constitutes with turnover.
In this scheme, when closing the inner cap 100 that is positioned at full-gear and drum cover 200, the user falls inner cap 100, be locked to oneself inclination.Carve at this moment, drum cover 200 is received in the water jacket 11, is not hung on the connecting hole 207 but engage pawl 205, and is not locked.Then, the user operates aforesaid operations portion.Corresponding to this operation, the above-mentioned pin that beats passes in and out towards interior side, is pressed into from the top with rear lid 204, realizes locking.If such formation, then the operation toppled over to one's own side of the lid that opposite side is erected relatively inner cap 100 and drum cover 200 only carry out 1 time, operability is good.In addition, in order further to improve operability, also can adopt following scheme, wherein, do not correspond to user's operation and make and beat pin turnover, such as, adopt the drive source drives power of torque motor, o etc., make and beat pin and pass in and out the locking of realization drum cover 200 interior side.In this occasion, the moment of locking drum cover 200 also can be after the shutoff operation of inner cap 100, during such as the beginning of, the running when pushing initiating key for the user etc.
No matter in any occasion, if at a large amount of washed state of the internal admission of cylinder 14, plan closed drum lid 200, then have from the washed end that cylinder opening 14a exposes and hang on the engaging pawl 205 danger that tangles same as before.Particularly, if resemble so above-mentioned, one inner cap 100 is fallen to an inclination on one's own account, then by in its pushing drum cover 200 scheme of also closing, because when drum cover 200 was closed, inner cap 100 must also be closed, so whether the user can't tangle, clamp washed by Visual Confirmation drum cover 200, almost also can't expect to find to tangle, clamp, be reentered into washed behavior.So in the tumbling-box washing machine of present embodiment, in order to alleviate such tangling, extended part 230 resembles following such work.
That is, as shown in Fig. 8 (a), covered 200 o'clock at closed drum, the extension 230b of extended part 230 and bellying 230a be the washed interior side who is pressed into cylinder 14.Thus, the washed edge of seeing with engage the direction that pawl 205 leaves and retreat.In addition, because by extended part 230 is installed, distance L between the front end of engaging pawl 205 and the place ahead lid 202 increases, even die in the moment that drum cover 200 is closed, washed end is sandwiched under the situation between the inner face of extended part 230 and rear lid 204, washedly still is difficult to hang on the engaging pawl 205.In addition, because extended part 230 is made by the higher plastics of the flatness on surface, inclined plane 230c is oblique in interior side's inclination of cylinder 14 towards the front end of extension 230b, so be sandwiched in washed easily along inclined plane 230c and landing between the inner face of extended part 230 and rear lid 204.Even under the situation that is difficult to slide in washed dry status, to the private water supply of cylinder 14, washed suction, in this occasion, because the increase of washed weight, so the washed inside of still further falling cylinder 14 easily of clamping.So, in the tumbling-box washing machine of present embodiment, can prevent washed the tangling that closed drum covered effectively at 200 o'clock.
In addition, iff considering to tangle to prevent effect, best, the distance L that installation is prolonged between the front end of engaging pawl 205 when parts 230 and the place ahead lid 202 is longer, but, if this distance is long, then when drum cover 200 standard-sized sheets, be poured into overhang increase, when washed turnover, counteract near the place ahead lid 202 of oneself side.So, best, obtaining to be fit to tangle the scope that prevents effect, best above-mentioned length is shorter.Specifically, be 20mm if guarantee distance L, then obtain to tangle fully to prevent effect.
As above-mentioned, the deburring of the both sides acies of cylinder opening 14a by connecting cover 220, the both side edges end of the place ahead lid 202 and rear lid 204 needn't be connected cover 220 contacts with this.Consider this lid 202,204 installation accuracy, rock etc., the gap 215 that connects between cover 220 and two lids 202,204 is defined as 3mm (design load) respectively.But because the thickness of the coin of the size overgauge in this gap, so have in the inside of cylinder 14, the coin that drops from washed (or foreign matter of thin type) is discharged to water jacket 11 sides by this gap, damages the danger of plastic water jacket 11 inner faces.
So, in the tumbling-box washing machine of present embodiment,,, stand according to the superimposed mode in the along continuous straight runs (drum shaft to) and the lateral margin end of drum cover 200 and to establish rib 221 as shown in Figure 10 at the inner face that connects cover 220.But, as above-mentioned, the place ahead lid 202 is when moving with the releasing of the engaging that engages pawl 205 and connecting hole 207, being beaten pin 115 presses down, to drop to the interior side of cylinder 14 largely, thus, in order to avoid interference in the scope that lid 202 descends forwardly, rib 221 forms with recessed largely bending according to being inside side.
In addition, at the formed position, position that rib 221 and the gap 215 that can avoid the decline scope of the place ahead lid 202 are left, this distance is greater than the diameter of coin, and thus, the coin that enters between rear lid 204 and the rib 221 can skid off from this gap 215.In order to prevent such skidding off, in the scope that is equivalent to above-mentioned decline scope, rib 221 is located before and after exceeding it.But, if exceedingly improve rib 221, then constitute the obstruction of the turnover of washed relative cylinder 14 inside, then be difficult to only pass through to improve rib 221, prevent skidding off of coin.
So, in the tumbling-box washing machine of present embodiment, for skidding off of the coin that prevents such position with higher probability, at the bending position that connects cover 220, the recess 222 that inner wall surface thereof is sunk is set, in addition, in this recess 222, be provided with a plurality of projections 223.Owing to form differences in height by this recess 222 and projection 223, thus can be along the internal face that connects cover 220 (usually, in contact), the coin that moves according to the direction in gap 215 hangs over difference in height portion place, and impedimenta, change are towards (posture).By like this, with the vertical substantially the easiest such posture that in gap 215, skids off in gap 215, the situation that coin arrives gap 215 will be extremely difficult, consequently, can reduce the probability of discharging by gap 215 significantly.
As above-mentioned, in the tumbling-box washing machine of the 1st embodiment, can prevent washed the tangling when drum cover 200 is closed effectively, and can prevent by drum cover 200 effectively and be connected the skidding off of foreign matter in cover 220 gap 215.
Tumbling-box washing machine to another different embodiment of the form of drum cover is described below.
Figure 11 is the longitudinal sectional view of major part of the on-off action of the drum cover of expression the 2nd embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 12 is the stereoscopic figure of the place ahead lid of drum cover of the tumbling-box washing machine of the 2nd embodiment.Figure 11 is corresponding with Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 of above-mentioned the 1st embodiment with Figure 12.In addition, except the structure of drum cover, other aspect and the 1st embodiment are identical, omit the description to it, in following description, as required, adopt the label of the part that occurs in the accompanying drawing that provides among the 1st embodiment.
In the tumbling-box washing machine of the 2nd embodiment, be used to prolong from the position of the engaging pawl 205 of the place ahead lid 202 of drum cover 200, different to the shape of the extended part of the distance of acies portion with above-mentioned the 1st embodiment.Promptly, be installed on the place ahead lid 202 inner face extended part 240 with the position that cover 220 is faced that is connected of both sides, have with largely at the outstanding sidepiece bellying 240b of the interior side of cylinder 14 with according to the tabular extension 240a that is provided with across the mode between the sidepiece bellying 240b of both sides.Because extension 240a is identical with the extension 230b of the extended part 230 of the tumbling-box washing machine of above-mentioned the 1st embodiment, engaging pawl 205 is outstanding with distance L relatively, so covered 200 o'clock at closed drum, with the washed effect that is pressed into side in the cylinder 14 that is received in the cylinder 14.On the other hand, the danger of clamping between the side edge part that sidepiece bellying 240b will have a lid 202 forwardly and the gap 215 that is connected between the cover 220 washed prior to extension 240a is pressed into the interior side of cylinder 14.Thus, can further prevent washed being sandwiched in the gap 215 really.
In addition, this sidepiece bellying 240b part at least along drum shaft to being located at upright that to be connected the rib 221 that covers on 220 overlapping.Thus, sidepiece bellying 240b is with rib 221, prevents to be positioned at from the foreign matter that is received in coin that clothes in the cylinder 14 etc. drops etc. the situation of gap 215 annexes effectively.Thus, can prevent really further that foreign matter from 215 skidding off from the gap, situation about flying out to water jacket 11 sides.
Figure 13 is the longitudinal sectional view of the major part of the on-off action of the drum cover of the tumbling-box washing machine of expression the 3rd embodiment of the present invention, and this figure is corresponding with Fig. 8 of above-mentioned the 1st embodiment.In the tumbling-box washing machine of the 3rd embodiment, the inner face of lid 204 is equipped with accessory 250 in the wings, and this accessory 250 has bellying 250a near the front end of the extension 230b of extended part 230.As shown in Figure 13 (b), in drum cover 200 closing state, the extension 230b of extended part 230 and the bellying 250a of accessory 250 are near (or a part contacts), and its gap is very narrow.
In the scheme of above-mentioned the 1st embodiment, since spaced apart between the extension 230b of extended part 230 and the inner face of rear lid 204 with large-size, the advantage that will be sandwiched in washed easy landing herein had, still, in contrast, the foreign matter of coin etc. enters easily.The place ahead lid 202 and rear lid 204 are by the engaging of engaging pawl 205 and connecting hole 207, realization is closed, but, owing to have rocking to a certain degree, so when the rotation of cylinder 14, the gap of the coincidence part of the place ahead lid 202 and rear lid 204 has the possibility that the degree that can skid off with foreign matter is opened.Relative therewith, in the tumbling-box washing machine of this 3rd embodiment, because the gap between the extension 230b of extended part 230 and the bellying 250a of accessory 250 is very narrow, so foreign matter is difficult to arrive the gap of the coincidence part of the place ahead lid 202 and rear lid 204, can prevent the situation that foreign matter flies out to water jacket 11 sides really.
Figure 14 is the longitudinal sectional view of the major part of the structure of the drum cover of the tumbling-box washing machine of expression the 4th embodiment of the present invention, and this figure is corresponding with Fig. 8 (b) of above-mentioned the 1st embodiment.In addition, Figure 15 is the stereoscopic figure of a part of the inner face of drum cover.In the tumbling-box washing machine of the 4th embodiment, at extended part 230 and the accessory 250 of above-mentioned the 3rd embodiment, washed the clamping that can improve the gap 215 of the such both side edges portion of the 2nd embodiment prevents to prevent effect with skidding off of foreign matter.That is, on extended part 230 and accessory 250, respectively according to the mode that cover 220 is faced that is connected of both sides, the sidepiece that is substantially triangular in shape is set bloats body 230d, 250b.
The sidepiece of same side bloats body 230d, 250b when drum cover 200 is closed, and locatees by extremely narrow gap, and its two sides is formed by the less level and smooth face of skin resistance.Have when the opening and closing operations of drum cover 200, sidepiece bloats body 230d, 250b contact and friction situation still, forms the two sides by resembling above-mentioned smoothly, can successfully realize the switching of drum cover 200.In addition, though sidepiece bloat body 230d, 250b with the face of face of facing separately and opposition side, still form by the less level and smooth face of skin resistance.That is, when cylinder 14 rotation, be received in washed in the cylinder 14 and bloat body 230d, 250b with sidepiece and contact, still, owing to its contact-making surface forms smoothly, and the direction rear side inclination in cylinder of each face, so alleviate the power of bearing by washed.Thus, when cylinder 14 rotations, suppress rocking of the place ahead lid 202 and rear lid 204, can prevent to engage the engaging disengagement of pawl 205 and connecting hole 207, drum cover 200 damaged situations own are opened or prevented to drum cover 200.
Figure 16 is the longitudinal sectional view of the structure of the drum cover of the tumbling-box washing machine of the 5th embodiment of the distortion of above-mentioned the 4th embodiment of expression.In the 5th embodiment, the sidepiece that replaces being substantially triangular in shape bloats body and sidepiece that basic semi-annular shape is set bloats body 260,261.This sidepiece bloats the purpose that body 260,261 is semi-annular shape substantially and is mainly to reduce the weight that sidepiece bloats body itself.In addition, even in this case, the friction the when surface that sidepiece bloats body 260,261 still smoothly, still can reduce washed contact.In addition, sidepiece bloats body and also can form by having flexible material, and when washed contact, this sidepiece bloats the suitable deflection of body, absorbs the impact that washed conflict produces.
Obviously, even bloat at such sidepiece under the suitable situation of being out of shape of shape of body, still realize effect same as described above.In addition, best, can be arranged at the place ahead lid 202 and rear lid 204 on the two, but, even only be arranged under the situation on any one, compare with the occasion that does not have it fully, obviously obtain to prevent the washed effect that skids off of clamping and prevent foreign matter.
In addition, in the above-described embodiments, extended part 230 is independent of the place ahead lid 202, is installed on its bottom surface by screw etc., still, also can change the shape of this place ahead lid 202 itself, forms same extension.,, then have its front end when drum cover is closed, contact, hinder the danger of closing motion with the interior aspect of the cylinder 14 of rear lid 204 if extension is set by the mode that enlarges the acies of the place ahead lid 202 same as before as the crow flies.So, in the occasion that extension is set by the elongated end that extends the place ahead lid 202, this extension can be in cylinder that the side has a down dip and crooked shape or to be its radius of curvature identical with circumferential cylinder surface or than its little curved shape, the obstruction of two lids in the time of can avoiding drum cover to close.
