Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric washing machine for washing clothes and the like in water in a washing tub.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to wash dirt such as clothes in water in a washing tub, large stirring blades are conventionally provided for stirring laundry rather than water itself, and the use of detergent is indispensable. Was.

[0003]

The conventional washing machine has a drawback that the laundry is easily damaged because the laundry is agitated by large stirring blades. Further, there is a problem that the wastewater containing the detergent destroys the natural environment. Further, there is a disadvantage that the amount of water used and the amount of electricity are increased.

[0004]

In the present invention, by applying a high potential to the water in the washing tank, the water is colloided and easily penetrates the fibers, and at the same time, high pressure generates ions to dissolve the oil component. Thus, the dirt attached to the fibers could be washed away without using a detergent. As a result, pollution-free washing and drainage was achieved. Further, the vibration stirring need only be sufficient to cause convection of water, and it is not necessary to stir the laundry itself, so that the laundry is not damaged. Also, since rinsing of the detergent is unnecessary, it is not necessary to use a large amount of water. Therefore, the electricity usage fee is reduced, which contributes to resource saving.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the washing machine according to the present invention will be described below. The cleaning tank 1 made of a conductive material is supported on a frame 2 surrounding the cleaning tank via an insulating material 9. The frame 2 is further supported by insulating legs 10.

A lid 11 made of an insulating material for covering the upper surface of the cleaning tank 1 is attached to the cleaning tank 1 so as to be openable and closable. An infiltration prevention wall 14 is provided between the upper edge 12 of the cleaning tank 1 and the upper edge 13 of the frame,
Water is prevented from flowing between the cleaning tank 1 and the frame 2.

A high-voltage transformer 3 is provided outside the cleaning tank 1 and connected to the cleaning tank.

A vibrating stirrer 4 is further provided outside the washing tank 1. The vibrating stirrer 4 has a vertically extending shaft 6 and a plurality of vibrating blades 5 attached to the shaft 6 at intervals above and below. The vibrating blade 5 is mounted so as to enter one corner of the washing tank, and repeats vertical reciprocating motion to cause convection of water in the washing tank.

The high-voltage transformer 3 is driven to energize the cleaning tank 1,
A high potential environment can be set in the cleaning tank. By applying a high potential, water becomes colloidal and easily permeates the fibers. At the same time, ions are generated by the high pressure to dissolve the oily components. Convection of the water by the vibrating stirrer helps wash away the dirt.

A controllable knob is provided for the energization voltage, and when the quantity of laundry and the degree of contamination are high, the voltage can be increased to increase the cleaning effect.

Further, by making the size and the number of the vibrating blades 5 of the vibrating stirrer 4 interchangeable, the material of the laundry,
It can be adjusted according to the processing amount or the like. It is also possible to change the number of shafts for the same purpose. These can be adjusted depending on the difference between business use and home use.

The vibrating stirrer 4 has a main body for housing the motor outside the cleaning tank 1 and a shaft 6 inside.
At least the portion in contact with the frame must be made of an insulating material to avoid high-pressure leakage.

The lid 11 is linked with a switch (not shown) so that the power is turned off when the lid is opened for safety.

It is desirable to provide a plurality of metal needle-like projections 8 extending parallel to each other toward the inside of the cleaning tank on the inner wall of the cleaning tank near the vibrating blade 5. The material is preferably aluminum or stainless steel. results of the experiment,
It has been known that the ion discharge is enhanced and the fat dissolving effect is enhanced.

In the washing tank, a partition wall 7 having a number of small holes is provided between the vibrating blade 5 and other parts. The small holes are for transmitting the convection of water, and the partition wall prevents the laundry from being entangled with the vibrating blade 5. For the same purpose, it is desirable that the needle-like projection 8 is also provided inside the partition wall 7.

After the washing, the used water is drained from a drain port 15 provided on the lower surface of the washing tank 1.
