(Embodiment 1)
1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a drum type washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an internal front view of the drum type washing machine, and FIG. 3 is an internal top view of the drum type washing machine, FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of the first vibration damping damper, the second vibration damping damper, and the housing connecting portion of the drum type washing machine.

  1, 2, and 3, the rotating drum 17 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape, and a large number of water passage holes 18 are provided on the entire outer peripheral portion of the water tank 19 formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape. It is rotatably disposed in the water tank 19 via a bearing 16 inside the bearing case 15 attached to the bottom. A rotating shaft 20 is provided at the rotation center of the rotating drum 17, and the axial center direction of the rotating drum 17 is inclined downward from the front side toward the back side. A drum pulley 28 is connected to the back surface of the water tank 19 on the rotary shaft 20, and the rotary drum 17 is rotated in the forward and reverse directions by a drum drive motor 21 connected by the belt 29 and the drum pulley 28. Several projection plates 22 for stirring clothes are provided on the inner wall surface of the rotating drum 17. The rotating drum 17, the water tank 19, the drum drive motor 21, the bearing case 15, the drum pulley 28 and the like constitute a water tank unit 37.

  The water tank unit 37 is elastically supported in the washing machine casing 23 by a plurality of suspensions 31 having a lower end connected to the upper part of the water tank 19 and an upper end connected to the upper part of the washing machine casing 23. Further, the upper end is connected to a water tank connecting portion 43 provided at the lower portion of the water tank 19 via a first cushioning material 44, and the lower end is connected to the housing connecting portion 34 provided to the base portion 24 at the lower portion of the washing machine housing 23. The vibration of the water tank unit 37 is suppressed by the plurality of vibration isolation dampers 25, 26, and 27 arranged in an oblique direction by being connected to each other via the second buffer material 45.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the vibration dampers 25, 26, and 27 are disposed on the right side when viewed from the front in the rotation direction of the rotating drum 17 during the dehydration stroke (right rotation as viewed from the front (clockwise, arrow A)). ) Are provided with a first vibration damping damper 25 and a second vibration damping damper 26, and in the opposite direction (right rotation as viewed from the front (clockwise, arrow A), left when viewed from the front when viewed from the front)). An anti-vibration damper 27 is provided. The first anti-vibration damper 25 is disposed in front of the center of gravity G of the water tank unit 37, and the second anti-vibration damper 26 is disposed behind the center of gravity G of the water tank unit. As a result, the anti-vibration dampers 25 and 26 support the water tank unit 37 in a well-balanced manner and perform damping anti-vibration. In addition, when the rotation direction of the rotary drum 17 is set to the left rotation (counterclockwise) during the dehydration process, the rotation direction of the rotary drum 17 is the front surface. The anti-vibration damper may be disposed at a position opposite to the left and right when viewed from the right side (clockwise).

  Further, since heavy components such as the bearing case 15 and the drum drive motor 21 are arranged on the back side of the water tank unit 37, the center of gravity G of the water tank unit 37 is located behind the center 33 of the rotating drum 17. It will be.

  Therefore, when an unbalanced load is generated in front of the rotary drum 17, the distance from the center of gravity G of the aquarium unit to the unbalanced load is increased, and the front and rear portions of the aquarium unit 37 vibrate in the upside down direction. Pretend movement is likely to occur. Therefore, by making the angle of the first vibration isolating damper 25 closer to the vertical direction than the inclination angle of the third vibration isolating damper 27, the vibration in the vertical direction is positively suppressed, and this neck swinging motion is effective. Is suppressed.

  Further, when an unbalanced load is generated behind the rotating drum 17, the distance from the center of gravity G of the aquarium unit to the unbalanced load is reduced, and the roll motion at the rear of the aquarium unit 37 is increased. Therefore, the angle of the second vibration damping damper 26 is made closer to the horizontal direction than the inclination angle of the third vibration damping damper 27 to effectively suppress this roll motion.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the angle between the first vibration isolation damper 25 and the vertical direction is α, the angle between the second vibration isolation damper 26 and the vertical direction is β, and the third vibration isolation damper 27 and the vertical direction. If the angle formed by γ is γ, three dampers are arranged so that α <γ <β.

  As described above, the first vibration damping damper 25 is particularly effective in the vertical direction (up and down direction in FIG. 2), and the second vibration damping damper 26 is particularly effective in damping the vibration in the horizontal direction (left and right direction in FIG. 2). To achieve efficient vibration isolation.

  Here, the damping force of the first anti-vibration damper 25 and the second anti-vibration damper 26 has the largest damping force of the third anti-vibration damper 27 in order to balance the left and right. In addition, the damping force of the first vibration damping damper 25 is made larger than that of the second vibration damping damper 26 in order to reduce the neck motion. Further, the damping force of the first vibration damping damper 25, the second vibration damping damper 26, and the third vibration damping damper 27 is within the range of the above condition in order to prevent vibration transmission to the base 24 and the floor of the housing. Therefore, the value is as small as possible within a range in which the vibration of the water tank unit 37 can be sufficiently suppressed.

  Moreover, the attachment structure of the 1st anti-vibration damper 25 and the base 24 of a housing | casing is comprised as shown in FIG. In other words, the first vibration damping damper 25 is attached to the casing connecting portion 34 via the second cushioning material 45, and the fixing member 35 is attached to the base portion 24 of the casing. A third cushioning material A38 is disposed between the housing connecting portion 34 and the fixing member 35, and a washer 36 and a fixing member 35 disposed on the opposite side of the housing connecting portion 34 from the first vibration damping damper 25. A third cushioning material B39 is disposed between the housing connecting portion 34 and the washer 36 by a stepped bolt 40 and a nut 41.

  Therefore, when the first vibration damping damper 25 vibrates in the left-right direction around the fixing member 35, the housing connecting portion 34 and the washer 36 also vibrate, and the third shock absorbing material A38 and the third shock absorbing material B39 are Attenuation occurs by being compressed, and the vibration of the water tank unit 37 is reduced. The method for attaching the second damper is also the same.

  Here, when the rotation of the rotating drum 17 at the time of dehydration is clockwise, the vibration of the water tank unit 37 is faster when the unbalanced load comes to the right side due to the influence of gravity and slows when it comes to the left side. Therefore, vibration can be effectively suppressed by using a buffer material in the fastening portion of the first vibration damping damper 25 and the second vibration damping damper 26 attached to the right side.

  Further, the housing connecting portion 34 is bent in a U shape from the surface in contact with the third cushioning material A38, and a bolt 46 penetrates from the bent first side surface 34a to the second side surface 34b and tightens with the nut 47. As a result, the first vibration damping damper 25 and the second vibration damping damper 26 are fastened. Further, the third cushioning material A38 is provided with a convex portion 38a having substantially the same shape as the bottom shape of the housing connecting portion 34 on the outer periphery, and surrounds the housing connecting portion 34. Therefore, when the first vibration damping damper 25 and the second vibration damping damper 26 try to rotate around the axis of the bolt 40 due to the vibration of the water tank unit 37, the housing connecting portion 34 will also rotate. However, the housing connecting portion 34 and the convex portion 38a of the third cushioning material A38 come into contact with each other, and the rotation of the first vibration damping damper 25 and the second vibration damping damper 26 is restricted.

In addition, grooves 38b having substantially the same height as the bottom surface to which the housing connecting portion 34 is attached are provided in the front and rear two locations on the convex portion 38a on the outer peripheral portion of the third cushioning material A38. Therefore, water such as condensed water accumulated in the convex portion 38a is discharged from the groove 38b. When a puddle is generated inside the convex portion 38a, corrosion of the third buffer material A38 and the housing connecting portion 34 occurs, or the contact portion between the third buffer material A38 and the housing connecting portion 34 is slippery with water. Therefore, sliding noise may occur due to the sliding. In order to prevent this, by providing the groove 38b in the convex portion 38a of the third cushioning material A38, water such as condensed water accumulated in the convex portion 38a is discharged to the outside, and corrosion and noise of the above parts Can be suppressed.

  The operation and action of the drum type washing machine configured as described above will be described.

  When the lid 30 is opened and the laundry is put into the rotating drum 17 and the operation is started, the rotating drum 17 is rotated at a low speed by the drum drive motor 21 in the washing process, and the laundry in the rotating drum 17 is lifted up. Is dropped on the surface of the water. Thus, the washing process proceeds.

  Then, after the washing process is performed for a predetermined time, the washing water in the water tank 19 is drained, intermediate dehydration is performed, and the subsequent rinsing process is performed. In the rinsing process, the same operation as the washing process is performed. In the dehydration process, the rotary drum 17 is rotationally driven at a high speed, and the laundry is centrifugally dehydrated.

  When the laundry put in the rotating drum 17 is offset during the dehydration process, the water tank unit 37 is swingably supported so as to be able to absorb the offset and perform the dehydration rotation. Although the transmission to the washing machine casing 23 is prevented, when an abnormally large deviation occurs, the water tank unit 37 causes abnormal vibration, and a large noise is generated from the washing machine. May damage the washing machine.

  In the present embodiment, the first anti-vibration damper 25 is ahead of the center of gravity G of the water tank unit 37 in the rotation direction of the rotary drum 17, the second anti-vibration damper 26 is behind, and the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotary drum 17. The third anti-vibration damper 27 is provided, and each anti-vibration damper performs damping anti-vibration with a good balance.

  Further, the third cushioning material A38 is provided with a convex portion 38a having substantially the same shape as the housing connecting portion 34 disposed on the outer periphery, thereby restricting the rotation of the housing connecting portion 34, thereby Since the rotation of the vibration proof damper 25 and the second vibration proof damper 26 can be restricted, the generation of abnormal noise due to the rotation and the load on the vibration proof damper can be reduced, and the housing connecting portion 34 can be Since it can be used as a guide for mounting on the three cushioning materials A38, the assemblability can be improved.

  Furthermore, by providing the groove 38b in the convex portion 38a on the outer peripheral portion of the third cushioning material A38, it is possible to prevent puddles inside the convex portion 38a, so that corrosion of parts and generation of abnormal noise can be suppressed. .

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the cushioning material is interposed between the fastening portions of the first vibration isolation damper 25 and the second vibration isolation damper 26 is the housing connection portion of the base portion 24 at the lower portion of the washing machine housing 23. Although provided on the 34 side, the same effect can be obtained even if the same configuration is provided on the water tank connecting portion 43 side.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the axial center direction of the rotating drum 17 is inclined downward from the front side toward the back side, but the same effect can be obtained even if it is substantially horizontal.

  As described above, the drum-type washing machine according to the present invention efficiently attenuates the vibration of the aquarium unit by using the vibration damping damper and the cushioning material, and provides a convex shape on the cushioning material, thereby improving the assembling property and noise. Since the reduction can be realized, it can be applied to other uses such as a washing machine having a dehydrating function.
