Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a washing machine having a stirring blade in a washing tub. In particular, the present invention relates to a device having a lint filter for capturing foreign matter such as dust and lint in the water (hereinafter referred to as lint and the like).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is a lint filter in which, for example, a bag-like net member is attached to a washing tub in a stream of water. The lint filter is placed in the water in the washing tub with its entrance open. The lint filter is blown off according to the water flow in the washing tub, and directs the lint filter inlet toward the flow,
The water stream is taken in, and lint and the like flowing in with the water stream are captured. However, if the water flow in the washing tub is weak, it may be difficult to obtain sufficient capture performance.

In some cases, a water channel is provided from the bottom to the top in the washing tub, and a lint filter is provided at an outlet of the water channel. For example, when the stirring blade at the bottom of the washing tub is rotated, the back wing moves the water, sends the water upward through the water channel, and flows out into the washing tub through the lint filter at the outlet. At this time, the lint filter captures lint and the like in the water. By the way, in order to circulate water up and down in the washing tub, the outlet of the water channel is usually arranged at a position higher than the water surface, but when the water level in the washing tub is low, it is difficult to circulate the water, and the amount of water from the outlet is small. In some cases, it is not sufficient, and it is difficult to obtain sufficient capture performance with a lint filter. Also, since only water passing around the stirring blade is sent to the lint filter, it is difficult to catch lint or the like floating near the water surface.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and to provide a washing machine having a lint filter capable of improving the performance of capturing lint and the like.

[0005]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a washing machine including a washing tub capable of storing water for washing, an intake for taking in water, and Includes a lint filter that includes a bag for filtering the entered water to catch lint, etc., and a circulation channel that guides the water below the washing tub upwards. A water circulating means for pouring into the mouth, wherein the lint filter is such that the water inlet generated by the water flow in the washing tub faces the water flow, and the water flowing in the washing tub can be taken in from the water opening. It is characterized by being rotatably provided in the washing tub.

According to this configuration, for example, when a water flow is generated in the washing tub during washing, the lint filter bag is blown off in the water by the water flow, and when the lint filter rotates accordingly, the water intake opening is formed. Comes to the upstream side of the water flow. As a result, the water flow generated in the washing tub flows into the intake port of the lint filter, and the water guided by the water circulation means by the water circulation means can also flow therethrough. Both lint and the like, for example, lint in the water below the washing tub and lint and the like floating near the water intake can be captured.

Further, as the water guided through the circulation channel flows into the bag, the water in the washing tub is also smoothly flowed into the bag, so that the water efficiently flows into the lint filter. As a result, the performance of capturing lint and the like is improved, and for example, the amount of lint and the like captured can be increased. According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the washing machine according to the first aspect, the water intake port is formed to be long in the up-down direction, and from a vicinity of a height position corresponding to a minimum water level set in the washing tub. , Extending to the vicinity of the height position corresponding to the highest water level.

[0008] According to this configuration, the inflow of the above two water flows into the lint filter can be realized at any water level from the lowest water level to the highest water level. Also, at any water level, water near the water surface in the washing tub can flow into the water intake,
Lint and the like near the water surface can be reliably captured. Therefore, the capture performance of the lint filter can be ensured regardless of the water level.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the washing machine of the first or second aspect, a part of the inner wall of the washing tub constitutes a filter holder for holding the lint filter in the washing tub. A circulating water passage is formed on the back surface of the filter holder. According to this configuration, the water intake of the lint filter and the circulation channel can be arranged close to each other, so that the water guided through the circulation water channel can be reliably poured into the water intake of the lint filter.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the washing machine according to the third aspect, the filter holder is disposed near the lint filter to prevent the laundry from entering the water intake. It is characterized by including an intrusion prevention member. By the way, there is a concern that laundry may be easily caught by the vertically long water intake. On the other hand, according to the configuration of the fourth aspect, the laundry is prevented from catching on the water intake, so that, for example, the laundry can be hardly damaged,
The lint filter can be reliably rotated.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the washing machine according to the third aspect, the filter holder includes a water guide member for directing a water flow in the washing tub to a water inlet. According to this configuration, since the water guide member guides the water flow in the washing tub to the water inlet, the water can efficiently flow into the lint filter.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the washing machine according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, a rotating stirring blade is provided at the bottom of the washing tub, and the water circulating means includes a stirring blade. And a back wing provided on the back side for moving water. According to this configuration, when the stirring blade rotates, a stirring water flow is generated in the washing tub, and this water flow flows into the water intake, and at the same time, the water is pushed and moved by the back wing, and the water flows through the circulation water passage. Can flow into
As described above, since the configuration for rotating the stirring blade can be used as the configuration for obtaining both water flows, the structure can be simplified.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the washing machine according to any one of the first to sixth aspects, the washing tub has an outer tub and an inner tub, and the inner tub is washed and rinsed. It is stopped at the time of, is rotated at the time of dehydration, the lint filter is provided on the inner surface of the inner tank,
A stop position control means for stopping the inner tank so that the lint filter is arranged at a predetermined position while the inner tank is stopped is provided.

According to this configuration, for example, when the lint filter is located behind the washing tub and the inner tub is stopped, when the laundry is taken out from the front side of the washing machine,
Even if the lint filter has a windsink shape, it does not get in the way and is convenient for taking out laundry. The washing machine according to claim 8 is the washing machine according to claim 7, wherein the inner tub and the outer tub have a bottomed cylindrical shape having an opening at an upper end, and the upper end is in front of the bottom. The central axis of the cylinder is inclined at a predetermined inclination angle with respect to the vertical line so as to be located on the vertical side, and the predetermined position by the stop position control means is a position on the front side.

According to this configuration, the lint filter can be relatively lowered with respect to the water surface by arranging the lint filter on the front side during washing, so that the water stored in the washing tub can be easily passed through the lint filter. Etc. can be further enhanced.

The lint filter 60 is attached as shown in FIG. 4, and the frame 62 is directed toward the partition plate 24 so that the mesh bag 61 becomes a stream of water in the water.
Is directed toward the center of the inner tank 22. In the attached state, the water intake port 61a is moved from a position slightly lower than the lowest water level (shown by H1 in FIG. 4) stored in the inner tank 22 to the highest water level (shown by H2 in FIG. 4). ) Is arranged so as to open to a height position slightly higher than the height at which the height becomes.

The partition plate 24 is a vertically long member as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and is formed of resin such as plastic. As shown in FIG. 4, the partition plate 24 extends upward from the peripheral edge of the bottom of the inner tank 22 along the inner side surface 22 b of the inner tank 22. Surface 2 of partition plate 24

Of the inner wall 12a.

The front surface 24a of the partition plate 24 is formed as a convexly curved surface, and forms a circulation channel 12b on the back surface side. Further, the convex curved surface is formed on the inner side surface 22 of the inner tank 22.
b and is continuously connected to the portion to be the inner wall 12a,
This prevents the laundry from being caught on the partition plate 24. In addition, the surface 24a of the partition plate 24
As shown in the figure, a recess 24d which is located at the center and is recessed one step for attaching the lint filter 60, and the recess 2d
An inclined recess 24e is formed below 4d. Further, a plurality of concave portions 24f and a plurality of convex portions 24g are formed on both left and right sides of the concave portion 24d, and the concave portions 24f and the convex portions 24g are alternately arranged in the vertical direction. The concave portion 24f serves as a water channel for taking in water into the concave portion 24d, and the convex portion 24g functions as an entry preventing member for preventing entry of laundry into the water intake 61a.

An outlet 12d of the circulating water passage 12b and a step 24h, which is located on the left and right sides of the outlet 12d and extends vertically, are formed at the bottom of the recess 24d. Further, the frame 62 faces the outlet 12d,
It is arranged at a portion near the entrance of d and is attached via a support mechanism 63. The support mechanism 63 supports the frame 62 rotatably in the recess 24d while arranging the water intake 61a of the lint filter 60 at a position near the outlet 12d of the circulation water passage 12b. The support mechanism 63 includes a shaft 24c below the recess 24d of the partition plate 24, a hole 62c below the frame 62 that fits the shaft 24c, a hole 24b above the recess 24d, and a hole 24b above the recess 24d. The shaft 62b on the upper part of the frame 62 is fitted.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the center of rotation C of the support mechanism 63 is defined by the holes 62c and 24b and the shaft 2 described above.
4c and 62b, which are located substantially at the center of the recess 24d in plan view and extend vertically. Rotation center C
Is the back surface of the frame 62 when attached to the recess 24d,
It is arranged almost in the middle of the bottom portion of the recess 24d.

The support mechanism 63 causes the frame 62 to move into the recess 24.
It rotates within a predetermined angle range within d. As a result, the space between the one edge 62d of the frame 62 and the corresponding recess 24d is opened (for example, the left side of the recess 24d is open in FIG. 5), and the water flow in the inner tank 22 is opened. Can be taken into the recess 24d. On the other hand, the space between the other edge 62d of the frame 62 and the recess 24d is closed.

The convex portion 24g protrudes largely inside the inner tank 22 as it approaches the concave portion 24d. When the frame 62 is rotated, the edge 62d on the rear surface side of the frame 62, which is open on the side between the recessed portion 24d, and the top of the convex portion 24g are arranged so as to approach each other. As a result, the laundry is guided to the convex portion 24g, and the laundry, its buttons, etc.
Is not caught between the edge 62d and the recess 24d.

An inclined surface 24i as a water guide member is formed in the concave portion 24f. The inclined surface 24i is arranged near the depression 24d and faces the water intake 61a. That is, by rotating the frame 62, the one concave portion 24f
When the concave portion 24d is opened from the side, the substantially central portion of the water intake 61a is arranged on the extension of the inclined surface 24i of the concave portion 24f.

The step 24h is formed by the inclined surface 24i of the recess 24f.
And a standing portion 24k that rises almost vertically from the bottom portion of the recess 24d. When the frame 62 is rotated, one edge 62 of the frame 62 is rotated.
d comes into contact with the flat portion 24j facing the
Close 4d. As shown in FIG. 3, the outlet 12d is composed of a plurality of vertically long holes, and the holes are arranged in two rows in the horizontal direction (left-right direction) and in three rows in the vertical direction (up-down direction). The total size of the plurality of holes is smaller than the size of the water intake 61a. The outlet 12d is a recess 24d
, Regardless of the rotation of the frame 62, the water intake 61a
Facing. The outlet 12d is formed from a position lower than the height position corresponding to the lowest water level H1 stored in the inner tank 22 to a height position near the highest water level H2, as shown in FIG. I have.

The back surface of the partition plate 24 defines a part of the circulation channel 12b. A plurality of ribs 24m (see FIG. 5) extending vertically from the lower end are formed on the back surface of the partition plate 24. The rib 24m reinforces the partition plate 24 and guides water while maintaining a space serving as the circulating water passage 12b between the partition plate 24 and the inner surface 22b of the inner tank 22. In the circulating water channel 12b, an inclined surface 24n on the back surface side of the inclined concave portion 24e is provided below the concave portion 24d. The inclined surface 24n smoothly connects to the back surface side portion 24p of the concave portion 24d, and allows water flowing upward along the inclined surface 24n to pass through the concave portion 24d.
To the back side portion 24p of the first portion.

Next, the operation will be described. Stirrer blades 23 during washing
Is rotated in one direction, for example, clockwise in plan view,
As shown in FIG. 5, the stirring water flow F1 flows in the inner tank 22 along the inner wall 12a. Further, water flows upward in the circulation water channel 12b, and an outlet water flow F2 flows out from the outlet 12d. The water mainly flows out from the outlet 12d below the water surface and the outlet 12d above and near the water surface.

The mesh bag 61 of the lint filter 60 is blown down by the stirring water flow, whereby the frame 62 rotates, the water intake 61a faces upstream, and the stirring water flows into the water intake 61a. Easier to do. For example, when the agitated water flow flows from left to right on the paper, the frame 62 rotates counterclockwise, and the right edge 62d and the outlet 12d of the frame 62 downstream of the water flow.
And the flat portion 24j of the step 24h, which is the peripheral portion of the contact portion, comes into contact with each other. Thereby, the water flow is prevented from going straight and passing straight through, and the rotation of the frame 62 is also restricted. In this state, the left edge 62d of the frame 62 on the upstream side of the water flow is
A gap is formed between the flat portion 24j of the step 24h and the step 24h, so that the upstream side of the recess 24d is opened, and the stirring water flow smoothly flows into the recess 24d through the recess 24f. . In addition, the frame 62 that rotates in this manner directs the water intake port 61a to the upstream side of the stirring water flow.

The outlet water flows from the recess 24d toward the water intake 61a regardless of the rotation of the frame 62 described above. With the flow of the outlet water flow, the surrounding water also flows in the same direction as the outlet water flow. As a result, water easily flows into the mesh bag 61 from the inner tank 22 to the recess 24d. In the net bag 61, the water flowing from the water intake 61a is
While passing through the fine holes, lint and the like flowing into the inside together with the water are accumulated in the bag.

When the stirring blade 23 is inverted, the lint filter 60 is blown in the opposite direction, and water similarly flows into the lint filter 60 from the depression 24d. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the water blow-in lint filter 60 is arranged such that the water intake 61a is arranged so that the outlet water flows thereinto, and the stirring water flowing in the washing tub 12 can be taken in from the water intake 61a. Is rotatably provided in the inner tank 22. This allows the outlet water flow from the circulation water passage 12b to flow into the water intake port 61a together with the stirring water flow, so that the lint filter 60 removes lint and the like in both water flows.
For example, both lint and the like in the water below the washing tub 12 and lint and the like floating near the water intake 61a can be captured.

Further, as the outlet water flows into the mesh bag 61, the water in the washing tub 12 also smoothly flows into the mesh bag 61, so that the water efficiently flows into the lint filter 60. As a result, the performance of capturing lint and the like is improved, and for example, the amount of lint and the like captured can be increased. In particular, when the outlet water flow is generated below the water surface, it is preferable because the stirring water flow is easily promoted into the lint filter 60.

The water intake 61a extends from the vicinity of the height corresponding to the lowest water level to the vicinity of the height corresponding to the highest water level. Thereby, the inflow of both the agitated water flow and the outlet water flow into the lint filter 60 can be realized at any water level from the lowest water level to the highest water level. In addition, even if the water level is arbitrary, the washing tub 12
Since the water near the water surface inside can be made to flow, lint and the like near the water surface can be reliably captured. Therefore, the capture performance of the lint filter 60 can be ensured regardless of the water level.

The outlet 12d of the circulation channel 12b for sending water by the back blade 23b of the stirring blade 23 is provided from the lowest water level to the highest water level. As a result, a water flow circulating up and down in the inner tank 22 can be reliably obtained irrespective of the water level. As a result, the lint and the like easily circulate along with the water flow, so that it becomes easier to catch. Because the back feather 23
When the outlet 12d is located at a position higher than the water level, the amount of water flowing out from the outlet is insufficient in the circulation channel 12b that sends water by b, and it is difficult to obtain a water flow circulating up and down in the inner tank 22. Because there is.

Here, the water intake 61a and the outlet 12d for ensuring the capture performance regardless of the water level need not be continuously opened over the height positions corresponding to the above-mentioned minimum and maximum water levels. A part in the height direction may be closed. In addition, the partition plate 24 is connected to the outlet 12 of the circulation channel 12b.
The lint filter 60 is held while forming d.
Thus, the water inlet 61a of the lint filter 60 and the outlet 12d can be arranged close to each other, so that the outlet water flow can be reliably flowed into the water inlet 61a.

The convex portion 24g as an intrusion prevention member can prevent the laundry from catching on the water intake 61a, which is vertically long and is likely to be caught by the laundry. The object is hardly damaged, and the support mechanism 63 can be operated reliably. The inclined surface 24i of the concave portion 24f as the water guide member allows the stirring water flow to efficiently flow into the water inlet 61a.

Further, a stirring water flow is generated by the stirring blade 23, and water is caused to flow through the circulation water passage 12b.
Thereby, when the stirring blade 23 rotates, the stirring water flow and the outlet water flow can be obtained at the same time. Further, as a configuration for obtaining both water flows, a driving mechanism 2 for rotating the stirring blade 23 is provided.
Since the configuration such as 6 can also be used, the structure can be simplified.

Further, even though the water intake port 61a is rotatable by the support mechanism 63, the water intake port 61a is arranged at a position always facing the outlet 12d, so that the outlet water flow can be reliably received. Further, the support mechanism 63 abuts the edge 62d of the frame 62 and the flat portion 24j to prevent water from flowing through.
Opening on the opposite side allows the stirring water flow to reliably flow into the water inlet 61a. As a result, the capturing performance can be reliably improved.

Further, the inclined surface 24n of the inclined concave portion 24e smoothly guides the water flow to the back side portion 24p of the concave portion 24d, so that it is preferable to sufficiently secure the water flow from the outlet 12d of the circulation channel 12b. The outlet 12d of the circulating water channel 12b has a plurality of vertically long holes arranged vertically and horizontally, but the arrangement and the shape are not limited. For example, a single vertically long hole or a large number of circular holes may be used.

In the above-described embodiment, the lint filter 60 is applied to a washing tub having a double structure for washing and dewatering. However, the lint filter 60 may be applied to a washing tub having a fixed single tub. Good. In the case of a washing tub having a double structure, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the center axis CL of the washing tub 12 is inclined at a predetermined angle, for example, about 10 degrees with respect to the vertical direction VL, and The present invention may be applied to a washing tub arranged such that a front portion of the tub is lower than a rear portion. In this case,
If the lint filter 60 is located on the front side (front side), the lint filter 60 will be located at a relatively low position with respect to the water surface, so that the water stored in the washing tub 12 will have an intake port. As a result, the lint filter 60 can easily pass through the lint filter 60, so that the performance of capturing lint and the like can be improved.

The lint filter 60 is moved to a predetermined position, for example,
For example, the following configuration can be considered as the stop position control means for stopping the front position. That is,
The drive mechanism 26 includes the motor 25 described above and the motor 25
Shaft, small pulley 71, belt 72 and large pulley 7
The rotation transmitted via the inner tank 22 and the stirring blade 23
And a transmission mechanism 27 for selectively transmitting the rotation to the clutch.
A built-in brake mechanism for stopping the rotation of the inner tank 22,
Torque motor 74 for operating this brake mechanism
have. When the torque motor 74 is operated, the brake is operated to stop the rotation of the inner tank 22, and the first state in which the rotation can be transmitted only to the stirring blade 23, the brake is released, and the rotation is stopped. The state can be switched to the second state in which both can be transmitted to the tank 22. Further, a detection mechanism 75 for detecting the rotational position of the inner tank 22 and a control unit 78 including a microcomputer for operating the motor 25 and the torque motor 74 based on a signal from the detection mechanism 75 by a program are included. Is provided. The detection mechanism 75 includes a magnet 76 attached to a brake drum (not shown) of the brake mechanism, and a magnetic switch 77 that detects the approach of the magnet 76. The rotation positions of the inner tank 22 and the brake drum coincide with each other, and the magnetic switch 77 emits a predetermined signal when the lint filter 60 is on the front side. The control unit 78 slowly rotates the inner tub 22 before washing and, when a predetermined signal is obtained from the detection mechanism 75, stops the inner tub 22 at that time and moves the lint filter 60 to the front side of the washing tub 12. The rotation position of the inner tub 22 is maintained by the brake mechanism. The washing and rinsing operation is performed in this state. Note that the configuration of the above-described detection mechanism 75 is not limited to the above-described configuration.
The mounting position of 7 is not limited to the above-described position as long as the position of inner tank 22 can be detected. In addition to the combination with magnet 76 and magnetic switch 77, a known configuration for detecting the position is used. You may.

When the operation is stopped, the lint filter 6 is used.
In a case where the inner tub 22 is stopped by positioning “0” on the rear side of the washing tub 12, when the laundry is taken out from the front side of the washing machine 1, even if the lint filter 60 is in the form of a streamer, it is not a hindrance. It is convenient for taking out laundry. In addition, it is preferable to apply the configuration in this case to the washing tub 12 that is not inclined.

In addition, various design changes can be made without changing the gist of the present invention.
