- a shielding part 39 protrudes rearward from a rear part of the detergent box body 31. The shielding part 39 shields the pair of slit holes 27A to prevent water leakage through the slit holes 27A.
- the automatic withdrawing unit 50 includes a bracket 51 provided at a lower side of the mounting part 27.
- a rotary shaft 52 is mounted on the bracket 51.
- the pinion gears 53 are coupled to ends of the rotary shaft 52.
- a holder 54 is coupled to a circumference of the rotary shaft 52 and rotates together with the rotary shaft 52.
- An elastic member 55 is provided around the holder 54 and has one end thereof attached to the bracket 51. The elastic member provides a biasing force which tends to rotate the pinion gears 53 so that they cause the detergent box to be withdrawn.
- the bracket 51 can be installed under the dispenser housing 21 using various installation methods such as fusion, a hook, an adhesive, and a coupling bolt. However, a description will be made based on the assumption that it is installed using one or more coupling bolts.
- the bracket 51 has a receiving hole 51A for coupling the coupling bolt
- the dispenser housing 21 has a coupling hole or a coupling boss in a position corresponding to the coupling hole 51A.
- the rotary shaft 52 is rotatably supported by the bracket 51.
- the rotary shaft 52 may have a polygonal cross section, and connects at its ends with the pinion gears 53.
- the holder 54 includes a hollow shaft 54 with a hollow part 54A having the same cross sectional shape as the rotary shaft 52.
- the holder 54 is coupled to the rotary shaft 52 by fitting the rotary shaft 52 into the hollow part 54A such that the holder 54 rotates together with the rotary shaft 52.
- the elastic member 55 includes a coil spring 55 provided around the holder 54.
- the elastic member 55 has one end connected to a stopper 54B provided to the holder 54, and has its other end inserted into a catch hole 51B provided on the bracket 51.
- other types of elastic members could be used to provide a biasing force that tends to rotate the shaft 52 in a particular direction, and thus tends to push the detergent box in the withdrawal direction.
- a user would first input laundry inside the drum 5 through the laundry opening 8A, and then closes the laundry opening 8A by the door 11. After that, the user inputs powder detergent, and possibly bleach, and softener into the detergent box 30, and sets a desired washing cycle by manipulating the control panel 12.
- water and detergent are supplied into the tub 4 using the water supplying unit 13 and the detergent supplying unit 14.
- the water supplying unit 13 opens the water supply valve 13B, and supplies water into the tub 4 via the water supply hose 13A and the water supply bellows 13C.
- the detergent supplying unit 14 squirts the water introduced into the water supply hose 13A, into the first and second powder detergent retaining parts 31A and 31B or into the bleach retaining part 31C via the water supply hole 24B of the dispenser cover 22.
- the powder detergent and/or the bleach in the detergent box 30 will be washed out of the detergent box by the water squirted in from the water supply hole 24B.
- the mixed water and detergent and bleach would exit the bottom of the dispenser housing 21, and would be supplied into the tub 4 via the water supply bellows 13C connecting to the dispenser housing 21.
- the drum 5 is rotated using the driving unit. As the drum 5 rotates, the laundry is lifted up by the lifter 6 and falls down, thereby implementing laundry washing.
- the motor 7 Upon completion of a wash cycle, the motor 7 is stopped, and the wash water retained in the tub 4 is discharged outside using the water discharging unit. After that, water is again supplied into the tub 4 up to a predetermined water level using the water supplying unit 13, and the drum 5 is again rotated using the motor 7, thereby implementing laundry rinsing.
- the detergent supplying unit 14 may also supply water to the softener retaining part 31D of the detergent box 30. This would cause the softener to be dispensed from the softener retaining part 31D into the tub 4.
- the rinse water Upon completion of a laundry rinse cycle, the rinse water is discharged outside using the water discharging unit. When water discharge is executed in the rinse cycle, a dehydration cycle in which the drum 4 is rotated by the motor 5 at high speed is implemented, thereby removing the wash water from the laundry.
- a procedure for withdrawing or inserting the detergent box 30 so as to input detergent, bleach and/or softener into the detergent retaining parts 31A, 31B, 31C, and 31D will be described in more detail below.
- the detergent box 30 is withdrawn by slightly pushing the front panel 32 of the detergent box 30 inside the doorway hole part 12A of the control panel 12, and then removing an applied force from the front panel 32.
- the detergent box 30 is slightly pushed to the rear, as shown in FIG. 8B, the locking groove part 42 of the detergent box 30 slightly moves to the rear, and a locking protrusion 43 of a locking protrusion part 41 moves to an unlock position.
- the elastic member 55 of the automatic withdrawing unit 50 then induces rotation of the rotary shaft 52 in the withdrawal direction, thereby rotating the pinion gears 53 together with the rotary shaft 52.
- the rotation of the pinion gears 53 moves the rack gears 38 of the detergent box 30 to the front.
- the detergent box 30 is withdrawn from the doorway hole part 12A of the control panel 12 to the front.
- the catch jaw of the dispenser cover 22 catches the height control protrusion 36 of the detergent box cap 33, thereby stopping the withdrawal of the detergent box 30.
- the height control protrusion 36 and the catch jaw 26 automatically limit a maximum distance by which the detergent box 30 is withdrawn.
- the detergent box 30 is inserted by pushing the detergent box 30 into the dispenser 20 until the front panel 32 gets in contact with the doorway hole part 12A of the control panel 12.
- the pinion gears 53 which are meshed with the rack gear 38 of the detergent box 30, are reverse rotated along with the rotary shaft 52. This twists or compresses the elastic member 55.
- the locking protrusion 43 of the locking protrusion part 41 is inserted into the locking groove part 42 to the position shown in FIG. 8D. If the applied closing force is then removed, the locking protrusion 43 is caught by the locking groove part 42, and the detergent box 30 is held in the inserted position, as shown in FIG. 8A.
- the detergent box 30 is not only improved in use convenience but also a solution to a problem of incompletely withdrawing or inserting the detergent box 30 is provided.
- the detergent box 30 is automatically withdrawn or is inserted only by an action of pressing the detergent box 30 inside the doorway hole part 12A of the control panel 12.
- the detergent box 30 can be fully removed from the dispenser 20 by pressing downward on the height control protrusion 36 so that it will not be caught by the catch jaw 26. Thus, the detergent box 30 can be replaced and washed with simplicity and convenience.
- FIG. 9 is a side view illustrating a detergent box 30 and a dispenser housing 21 according to an alternate embodiment.
- FIG. 10 is a perspective view illustrating an automatic withdrawing unit 150 of the device shown in FIG. 9.
- Like reference numerals denote like elements in FIGS. 9 and 10. The following description will concentrate on the differences in the alternate embodiment.
- the automatic withdrawing unit 150 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 is different from the automatic withdrawing unit 50 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 in that it further includes a rotary damper 60 for limiting a withdrawal speed of the detergent box 30.
- the rotary damper 60 includes a rotary gear 61 mounted on the bracket 51, and meshed with the pinion gear 53.
- a flange 62 having a hole is provided at an outer side of the rotary damper 60, and is coupled and fixed to the bracket 51 by a coupling member 63.
- the rotary damper 60 can be also mounted on the bracket 51 by a hook, an adhesive, and fusion.
- the automatic withdrawing unit 150 having the rotary damper 60 limits the withdrawal speed and an insertion speed of the detergent box 30 using a damping action of the rotary damper 60. Therefore, the detergent box 30 is prevented from suddenly moving and thus is withdrawn or inserted slowly. Accordingly, damage and impact noise of the detergent box 30 happening due to sudden withdrawal and insertion of the detergent box 30 are prevented. The slow movement also helps to prevent detergent, bleach and softener from being spilled out of their containers in the detergent box.
- a washing machine as described above has an advantage in that when the locking unit unlocks the detergent box, the detergent box is easily withdrawn by the automatic withdrawing unit. Also, when the detergent box is withdrawn or inserted, the withdrawal distance and an insertion distance are set by the automatic withdrawing unit and the locking unit, thereby preventing incomplete withdrawal and insertion of the detergent box.
- any reference in this specification to "one embodiment,” “an embodiment,” “example embodiment,” etc. means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the invention.
- the appearances of such phrases in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment.
