Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a drum washing machine having a structure for opening and/or closing a door of the drum washing machine, in which the drum washing machine further has a substantially vertically openable and linearly movable door which can be utilized as a laundry holder when the door is opened downwardly, and which can also be moved into a cabinet of the drum washing machine when the door is opened.
  • a conventional drum washing machine 4 which includes a cabinet 1, in which a tub and a drum are installed, extending horizontally.
  • An opening 3 is formed at a front wall of the cabinet 1 to communicate with the tub and drum.
  • a door 5 is mounted to the cabinet 1 to open and close the opening 3.
  • the door 5 is hingably mounted by a hinge mechanism 7, at one side portion of the door 5, to a portion of the cabinet 1 corresponding to one side of the opening 3.
  • a handle is provided at the other side portion of the door 5.
  • the door 5 is hingably movable when the user pulls the handle to open the opening 3 or pushes the handle to close the opening 3.
  • the door 5 includes an annular door rim 5a, and a door window 5b surrounded by the annular door rim 5a.
  • the door window 5b is made of a transparent glass material, and has a convex structure protruding into the interior of the washing machine and which comes into contact with a gasket 9 mounted in the cabinet 1.
  • the above-mentioned conventional drum washing machine has a problem in that the door 5 cannot be fully opened where the washing machine 1 is installed in close contact with a wall W, as shown in FIG. 2, for example, because the door 5 opens horizontally about the axis of the hinge mechanism 7.
  • the convex door window 5b is positioned toward the opening 3, so that there may be an inconvenience because the convex door window 5b may interfere with laundry when the laundry is put into or removed from the washing machine 1 through the opening 3.
  • the user After completion of a laundry washing cycle, the user typically takes the laundry out of the washing machine. In the process of taking the laundry out of the washing machine, however, the user may drop at least some of the laundry to the floor because the laundry is entangled. Such a situation occurs frequently. As such, there is inconvenience for the user because the dropped laundry must be washed again.
  • the user upon completion of washing the laundry, the user typically proceeds to remove the laundry from the washing machine while storing the laundry temporarily in an additional container for later transport. Accordingly, there is inconvenience to the user at least because of the necessity of having the additional container for temporarily storing the laundry.
  • the present invention has been made in light of the above-discussed problems, among others, and it is an aspect of the present invention to provide a drum washing machine having a linearly movable and vertically openable door, which can be opened and/or closed by moving the door vertically, which can be utilized as a laundry holder when the door is open, and which can be moved toward an inside of the washing machine, if necessary, so that, even if where the washing machine is located in a narrow space, the door of the washing machine can be relatively easily opened and/or closed, and laundry can be conveniently put into or removed from the washing machine, thus enhancing the convenience of the drum washing machine for a user.
  • a drum washing machine having a vertically openable and linearly movable door
  • the drum washing machine including a cabinet having an opening formed at a front wall of the cabinet to allow laundry to be put in and/or removed from the opening, a door provided at the front wall of the cabinet to open and/or close the opening, a door opening/closing mechanism connected between the cabinet and the door to allow the door to be opened when the door is moved downwardly, and to be closed while the door is moved upwardly, such that an outer surface of the door faces upwardly when the door is opened, and a linear movement mechanism to allow the door to be moved linearly such that the door can be moved into the cabinet when the door is opened.
  • a washing machine for washing at least one item may include a cabinet having an opening at a front wall of the cabinet to allow the item to be put into or removed from the opening, a door provided at the front wall of the cabinet to open and close the opening, the door being vertically openable and linearly movable, a door opening/closing mechanism connected between the cabinet and the door, to allow the door to open when the door is moved downwardly, and/or to close when the door is moved upwardly, such that an outer surface of the door faces upwardly when the door is opened, and a linear movement mechanism to allow the door to be moved linearly into the cabinet when the door is opened.
  • the washing machine may further include a container-shaped portion to contain the item when the door is opened
  • the door opening/closing mechanism may include a link opening/closing mechanism having at least first and second link members respectively connected to first and second side portions of the door.
  • the linear movement mechanism may include a movable base connected to the door opening/closing mechanism and located at a bottom surface of the cabinet such that the movable base is linearly moveable, and a movement guide provided between the cabinet and the movable base, to guide a linear movement of the movable base.
  • the cabinet may also include a clean door to be opened when the door is forced into the cabinet, and which may be located at a lower portion of the front wall of the cabinet.
  • the door opening/closing mechanism may include a link opening/closing mechanism having at least first and second link members respectively connected to first and second side portions of the door, and the linear movement mechanism may include an automatic opening/closing mechanism to allow the door to be automatically lifted.
  • the cabinet may include an automatic movement mechanism to allow the door to be automatically linearly moved by movement of the automatic opening/closing mechanism.
  • a vertically openable and linearly movable door for opening or closing an opening at a front wall of a cabinet may include a door opening/closing mechanism connected between the cabinet and the door, to allow the door to open when the door is moved downwardly and/or to close when the door is moved upwardly, such that an outer surface of the door faces upwardly when the door is opened, and a linear movement mechanism to allow the door to be moved linearly into the cabinet when the door is opened.
  • washing machine or drum washing machine is exemplified to simplify discussion of certain features of the present invention
