In the drawings, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and numerals as much as possible.

図１において、本発明の一実施の形態によるドラム洗濯機１００は、キャビネット１０と、該キャビネット１０の一面に開閉自在に取り付けられるドア１１と、該ドア１１に向かって開口するドラム形状の水槽２０と、該水槽２０内に回転自在に取り付けられる回転槽２１と、該回転槽２１を駆動する駆動モータ２２と、を含んで構成される。   In FIG. 1, a drum washing machine 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cabinet 10, a door 11 that can be freely opened and closed on one surface of the cabinet 10, and a drum-shaped water tank 20 that opens toward the door 11. And a rotating tank 21 that is rotatably mounted in the water tank 20 and a drive motor 22 that drives the rotating tank 21.

前記回転槽２１の側壁には、前記回転槽２１が回転する際に洗濯物を上に持ち上げるためのリフター２５と、前記水槽２０から供給される洗濯に必要な水が通る複数の穴２６とが形成される。   On the side wall of the rotating tub 21, there are a lifter 25 for lifting the laundry upward when the rotating tub 21 rotates and a plurality of holes 26 through which water required for washing supplied from the water tub 20 passes. It is formed.

前記水槽２０と前記回転槽２１は、同一の軸を中心軸として配置され、その中心軸上に前記駆動モータ２２が配設される。   The water tank 20 and the rotary tank 21 are arranged with the same axis as a central axis, and the drive motor 22 is arranged on the central axis.

前記キャビネット１０内の上部には、前記水槽２０に水を供給するための給水管３０と、前記ドア１１の上側に位置して前記給水管３０と連結される洗剤容器３３と、が備えられる。   A water supply pipe 30 for supplying water to the water tank 20 and a detergent container 33 that is located on the upper side of the door 11 and connected to the water supply pipe 30 are provided in the upper part of the cabinet 10.

前記水槽２０の上部には前記給水管３０の一端部が連結される給水口２３が形成され、前記水槽２０の下部には前記水槽２０に貯留する水を排水するための排水口２４が形成される。   A water supply port 23 to which one end of the water supply pipe 30 is connected is formed in the upper part of the water tank 20, and a water discharge port 24 for discharging water stored in the water tank 20 is formed in the lower part of the water tank 20. The

前記キャビネット１０の底面には前記水槽２０に貯留している水を強制排水するための排水ポンプ４０が固定され、排水ポンプ４０の所定の部分には水槽２０内の水を吸い込む吸入管４１と、吸い込まれた水を吐出す吐出管４２とが備えられる。そして第１排水管３１は、前記水槽２０の排水口２４と前記吸入管４１とを連結し、第２排水管３２は、一端が前記吐出管４２に連結され、他端は前記キャビネット１０の外部へ延設される。   A drainage pump 40 for forcibly draining water stored in the water tank 20 is fixed to the bottom surface of the cabinet 10, and a predetermined portion of the drainage pump 40 has a suction pipe 41 for sucking water in the water tank 20, And a discharge pipe 42 for discharging the sucked water. The first drain pipe 31 connects the drain port 24 of the water tank 20 and the suction pipe 41, and the second drain pipe 32 has one end connected to the discharge pipe 42 and the other end connected to the outside of the cabinet 10. It is extended to.

一方、ドラム洗濯機１００は、前記水槽２０に貯留する水の高さを測定するための水位感知装置５０をさらに含み、該水位感知装置５０は、下端部が前記排水ポンプ４０の吸入管４１に連結される水位感知ホース５１と、前記水位感知ホース５１の上端部に設置されて前記水位感知ホース５１内の空気圧力を測定する水位感知センサー５４と、を含む。前記水位感知ホース５１は、上端に前記水位感知センサー５４が取り付けられる狭管部５２と、該狭管部５２の下端に連結され、前記狭管部５２に比べて径の大きい拡管部５３と、を含む。   Meanwhile, the drum washing machine 100 further includes a water level sensing device 50 for measuring the height of the water stored in the water tank 20, and the lower end of the water level sensing device 50 is connected to the suction pipe 41 of the drainage pump 40. A water level detection hose 51 connected to the water level detection hose 51; and a water level detection sensor 54 installed at an upper end of the water level detection hose 51 to measure an air pressure in the water level detection hose 51. The water level detection hose 51 is connected to a narrow tube portion 52 to which the water level detection sensor 54 is attached at an upper end, and to a lower end of the narrow tube portion 52, and a tube expansion portion 53 having a diameter larger than that of the narrow tube portion 52; including.

以下、本発明の一実施の形態による、水位感知装置５０付きドラム洗濯機１００の動作について説明する。   Hereinafter, the operation of the drum washing machine 100 with the water level sensing device 50 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

衣類などの洗濯物は、駆動モータ２２により回転する回転槽２１内において洗濯される。回転槽２１が回転する際、前記回転槽２１の側壁に取り付けられたリフター２５が洗濯物を前記回転槽２１の上に持ち上げては落しつつ衝撃力と洗濯物間の摩擦力を生じさせ、これらの力により洗濯が行われる。   Laundry such as clothes is washed in a rotating tub 21 rotated by a drive motor 22. When the rotating tub 21 rotates, a lifter 25 attached to the side wall of the rotating tub 21 lifts and drops the laundry on the rotating tub 21 and generates an impact force and a frictional force between the laundry. Washing is performed by the power of.

洗濯に必要な水は給水管３０を通して供給され、この給水管３０は洗剤容器３３に連結されているため、洗濯に必要な洗剤を水に溶解した状態で供給するようになる。また、水槽２０に適正量の水を供給するために前記水位感知装置５０を用いて前記回転槽２１内の水位を測定する。   The water necessary for washing is supplied through the water supply pipe 30. Since the water supply pipe 30 is connected to the detergent container 33, the detergent necessary for washing is supplied in a state dissolved in water. Further, in order to supply an appropriate amount of water to the water tank 20, the water level in the rotating tank 21 is measured using the water level sensing device 50.

前記水位感知装置５０の水位感知ホース５１下部の拡管部５３は、前記排水ポンプ４０の吸入管４１と前記第１排水管３１とを介して前記水槽２０の下部に連通しているため、前記水槽２０に水が満たされてゆくにつれて前記拡管部５３の水位も一緒に上がる。この拡管部５３の水位が次第に上がるにつれて水位感知ホース５１内の空気が圧縮されて圧力が増加することになり、この圧力変化を水位感知センサー５４で感知することによって前記水槽２０の水位を測定することになる。   The expanded portion 53 below the water level sensing hose 51 of the water level sensing device 50 communicates with the lower portion of the water tank 20 through the suction pipe 41 and the first drain pipe 31 of the drain pump 40, so that the water tank As the water 20 is filled with water, the water level of the expanded portion 53 rises together. As the water level in the expanded pipe 53 gradually rises, the air in the water level detection hose 51 is compressed and the pressure increases. By detecting this pressure change with the water level detection sensor 54, the water level of the water tank 20 is measured. It will be.

一方、前記水位感知ホース５１の下端部は、従来水槽２０側に連結されていたのとは違い、キャビネット１０に固定されている前記排水ポンプ４０の吸入管４１側に連結されているため、駆動モータ２２による振動の影響を受けなくなる。   On the other hand, the lower end portion of the water level detection hose 51 is connected to the suction pipe 41 side of the drainage pump 40 fixed to the cabinet 10 unlike the conventional water tank 20 side. The motor 22 is not affected by vibrations.

そして、前記水位感知ホース５１は、その下部に径の大きい拡管部５３を持つため、均一の径を有する場合に比べて、同じ水位変化に対する圧力変化量が大きく、したがって、正確な水位感知が可能となる。   Since the water level detection hose 51 has a large-diameter pipe expanding portion 53 at the lower part thereof, the amount of pressure change with respect to the same water level change is larger than when the water level detection hose 51 has a uniform diameter, and therefore accurate water level detection is possible. It becomes.

前記拡管部５３の水面には圧縮された空気の圧力が働いていることから、大気圧が働いている水槽２０の水面に比べて低く保たれるが、たとえ水槽２０内の水位が最大レベルに到達した時でもこの拡管部５３内の水位が狭管部５２まで到達しないようにこの拡管部５３の長さを十分長くすると、前記狭管部５２に毛羽などの異物が詰まって水位感知装置５０が誤作動を起こしたりするのを防ぐことができる。このため、拡管部５３の長さは１０ｃｍ以上のものが好ましい。   Since the compressed air pressure works on the water surface of the expanded pipe portion 53, it is kept lower than the water surface of the water tank 20 where the atmospheric pressure is working, even if the water level in the water tank 20 is at the maximum level. If the length of the expanded tube portion 53 is sufficiently long so that the water level in the expanded tube portion 53 does not reach the narrow tube portion 52 even when it reaches, the narrow tube portion 52 is clogged with foreign matter such as fluff and the water level sensing device 50. Can be prevented from malfunctioning. For this reason, the length of the expanded pipe portion 53 is preferably 10 cm or more.
