[Prior art]

 Conventionally, washing machines can be automatically washed without having to wash the laundry by hand, which is very convenient and has become very popular these days. May be dropped by washing. At this time, for example, a washing solvent was put in a container such as a tub, a washing plate was placed in this container, and the soiled portion of the laundry was rubbed against the uneven portion of the washing plate. In addition, when a washing board is not used, the heavily soiled laundry is lifted from the washing tub of the washing machine, and the heavily soiled portion is rubbed with a brush or the like to remove the persistent stain.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, as described above, when the tub and the washing plate are prepared separately from the washing machine and hand-washed, the preparation is very troublesome. Furthermore, even if the laundry is lifted from the washing tub and the heavily soiled portion is rubbed with a brush as described above, a small laundry can be held in the hand, but a large laundry can be persistently soiled. In this case, for example, when cleaning the collar and sleeves of a shirt, even if the collar and sleeves of the shirt are lifted from the washing tub, the other parts of the shirt are still rotating in the washing tub. Therefore, it is possible that the shirt may be twisted and stretched, and even if the entire shirt is lifted from the washing tub and hand-washed, it is difficult to secure space for the entire shirt. Then, it is conceivable to arrange a washing plate at the opening of the washing tub and wash it by hand, but it is necessary to prepare the washing plate separately, and the washing plate should be used for the washing machine. Since it is not fixed, it is not only difficult to wash, but it is also possible that water may leak around the washing machine.

The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and is suitable for a washing machine without the need to prepare a washing plate separately from the washing machine and other special preparations. It is an object of the present invention to provide a lid of a washing machine that can be easily washed by hand washing in a worn state.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the lid of the washing machine according to the present invention is formed with a slope for guiding water to a drainage part provided in a central portion of an upper surface thereof, and a protrusion formed on an outer edge of the upper surface thereof. And a washing member having a plurality of irregularities formed at a plurality of locations on the upper surface and having different lengths.

[0006]

[Embodiment of device]

 The lid of the washing machine according to the present invention has a slope on the upper surface, which is inclined toward the central portion, and a ridge for preventing water on the lid from flowing out to the outer edge of the upper surface of the lid. A drain member for draining water on the upper surface of the lid to a washing tub is provided at a central portion of the lid, and further, a plurality of irregularities are formed at a plurality of positions on the upper surface of the lid. Is provided.

The lid of the washing machine having the above-mentioned structure opens the lid and lifts the heavily soiled laundry from the washing tub, and then closes the lid to lift the laundry pulled from the washing tub. On top of. Then, find the heavily soiled part of this laundry, put this part on the surface of the laundry member and scrape it off with a bundle or a brush, or rub the soiled part directly on the laundry member to remove the dirt. Drop it. At this time, since the laundry pulled up from the washing tub has not been dehydrated yet, the water drips, but the slope formed on the top surface of the lid flows to the drainage section, and as a result, the water dripping from the laundry drains. Return to the washing tub from the department. Furthermore, the water on the lid does not overflow the ridge on the outer edge of the upper surface and overflows from the lid, so that the water for hand washing does not flow out around the washing machine. As described above, by using the lid of the washing machine of the present invention, it is possible to add a function of partially hand-washing to a washing machine that is originally automatically washed, and when hand-washing, It can be hand-washed without any special preparation while still facing the washing machine, and the dirt that was difficult to remove can be cleaned with the washing machine.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of a lid of a washing machine of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a washing machine to which a lid (hereinafter, abbreviated as a lid) of a washing machine of the present invention is applied. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the lid. FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are views showing usage states, respectively. In this embodiment, the lid 1 is applied to a one-tub type (fully automatic) washing machine 2, that is, a washing machine 2 in which the lid 1 is provided at one location.

The lid 1 is an improvement of the ordinary lid of the washing machine 2. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the lid 1 has an inclined surface 1a inclined toward the center thereof on the upper surface thereof. A ridge 3 is provided on the outer edge of the upper surface of the lid 1 to prevent water on the upper surface of the lid 1 from flowing out, and the water on the lid 1 is washed at the central portion of the lid 1. A draining part 4 for draining water to the washing machine 5 is further provided, and a plurality of irregularities are formed at two places sandwiching the draining part 4 in the front and back direction of the washing machine 2 to wash the laundry 5 for hand washing. , 6 are provided.

In the present embodiment, the lid 1 is an improved lid of the washing machine 2. However, it goes without saying that the lid 1 itself is separate from the washing machine 2 and the original lid of the washing machine 2 is provided. It may be attached underneath to form a double lid. At that time, the lid 1 may be removable, and may be configured to open and close by the same movement as the original lid of the washing machine 2. Further, in this embodiment, since the drain 1 and the washing members 5 and 6 are exposed to the outside of the washing machine 2 in the lid 1, the drain hole of the drain 4 is particularly exposed. I try not to do it. Further, since the lid 1 is unsightly on the slope 1a if the slope is too steep, the cover 1 has a gentle slope from the raised portion 3 to the drainage unit 4, and the washing members 5 and 6 are also functionally inclined from the slope 1a. On the other hand, a young ridge is required, but by making the ridge the minimum required ridge, the overall design of the washing machine 2 is not impaired. As described above, the main lid 1 does not impair the overall appearance of the washing machine 2 due to the above-described design.

Further, as described above, the main lid 1 is arranged such that the washing members 5 and 6 are slightly raised from the slope 1a of the lid 1 as shown in FIG. The washing members 5 and 6 have a substantially semicircular cross section so that they can be easily rubbed. Further, the irregularities formed on the surfaces of the washing members 5 and 6 can be placed so that the soiled portion can be placed facing the front when the laundry is hand-washed with a bundle or a brush, and It has a function as a non-slip to prevent the laundry from slipping when dirt is scraped off using a bundle or brush. The washing members 5 and 6 can also be used to remove stains by directly rubbing the soiled portion of the laundry onto the washing members 5 and 6, and at that time, they are formed on the surfaces of the washing members 5 and 6. The irregularities are such that the laundry can be easily cleaned and the laundry is not damaged. Either one of the washing members 5 and 6 may be used, or a plurality of members having different lengths may be arranged. Further, the lid 1 of the washing machine 2 shown in this embodiment has a ridge portion 3 formed on the outer edge portion. However, instead of the ridge portion 3, a groove is formed on the outer edge portion of the upper surface, and from this groove to the drainage portion 4. Water may be allowed to flow.

Further, the drainage unit 4 is formed with a hole 1b communicating with a washing tub at a central portion of an upper surface of the lid 1, and a drainage lid 4a is arranged in the hole 1b. The drain cover 4a has a dome-shaped cross section, and its top portion does not largely bulge with respect to the slope 1a. Of course, the drain cover 4a may be flat with respect to the slope 1a. Further, the drain cover 4a has a small drain hole 4b (about 5 mm) formed below it. The height of the dome-shaped top portion of the drainage lid 4a is set so as not to be noticeable in consideration of the design as described above, and the drainage holes 4b are not noticeable. The diameter was set so that drainage could be reliably performed. Since it is designed in this way, the drainage section 4 is not so conspicuous and does not impair the overall appearance of the washing machine 2. The configuration of the drainage unit 4 is not limited to the above configuration as long as it does not impair the appearance of the washing machine 2 as a whole and allows reliable drainage.

Next, a usage mode of the lid 1 having the above configuration will be described. The collar and sleeves of a shirt or the like are easily soiled and cannot be easily removed by automatic washing with the washing machine 2. Then, first, during washing in the washing machine 2, the lid 1 is opened to wash the laundry being washed by hand from the laundry being washed. 4 and 5 show a shirt. After that, the lid 1 is closed and the laundry lifted from the washing tub is placed on the upper surface of the lid 1. After that, water will drip from the laundry which has not been dehydrated yet, but since the slope 1a facing the drainage section 4 is formed on the upper surface of the lid 1, the water that has dripped from the laundry will drain from the drainage section 4. It will not enter the washing tub and flow out of the washing machine 2.

Then, a portion of the laundry that is extremely dirty (a collar end is shown in FIG. 4 and a cuff is shown in FIG. 5) is found, and this portion is placed on the washing members 5 and 6 as a table. Then scrub off the dirty part with a bundle or brush. At this time, the washing members 5 and 6 have a non-slip function so that the shirt does not slip due to the force rubbed by the bundle or the brush. In addition, when hand washing is simply performed without using a bundle or a brush, the dirty portion of the laundry can be directly rubbed against the washing members 5 and 6 to remove the dirt. The washing members 5 and 6 may be selected, for example, when the washing member 5 is relatively long such as a collar, and when the washing member 6 is relatively short such as a cuff.

Further, since the water on the lid 1 does not overflow from the top of the lid 1 to the outside due to the raised portion 3 at the outer edge of the upper surface, the water of the laundry at the time of hand-washing wets the area around the washing machine 2. There is no such thing. Further, since the washing members 5 and 6 have a substantially semicircular cross section, when using a bundle or a brush, it is possible to place the dirty portion on the front so that this portion is conspicuous and placed on the washing members 5 and 6. In addition, when the dirty parts are directly rubbed against the washing members 5 and 6, it is easy to rub the laundry in the left and right directions of the lid 1 as well as in the front and back directions. Then, when the hand-washing is finished, the laundry is returned to the washing tub again, the washing in the washing tub is continued, and the next laundry to be hand-washed is lifted from the washing tub.

As described above, the lid 1 according to the present embodiment includes the washing members 5 and 6 on the upper surface of the lid 1, and the slope 1a and the raised portion 1a prevent the water for hand-washing and washing on the lid 1 from flowing out. Since it has the part 3 and the drainage part 4, the operator can hand wash without any special preparation while facing the washing machine 2, and the operator cannot drop it in the washing machine 2. No dirt can be cleaned.

Further, in the past, when washing by hand, it was necessary to prepare a tub and a washing plate separately from the washing machine, and there was a problem that the preparation was very troublesome. , No need for such troublesome preparation. In addition, in the conventional case where a shirt or other item that is being washed is lifted and a collar or sleeve is cleaned with a brush or the like, even if the collar or sleeve of the shirt is lifted from the washing layer, Since the part of the shirt rotates in the washing tank, the shirt may be twisted and stretched, and even if the entire shirt is lifted from the washing tank and washed by hand, there is no space to put the entire shirt. However, if the lid 1 is used, hand-washing can be performed on the lid 1, and such a problem is solved.

It is also conceivable that a washing plate is arranged at the opening of the washing tub of the washing machine, and that the washing plate is used for hand-washing. It was unstable and difficult to wash, and water sometimes leaked around the washing machine. On the other hand, since the main lid 1 is fixed to the washing machine 2, it is stable even if force is applied during hand-washing, and the washing members 5 and 6 are hand-washed using bundles or brushes. It also functions as a non-slip for laundry and a brush-like function for removing dirt, making it extremely convenient, easy to use, and excellent in design.

The lid of the washing machine of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, the washing machine can be applied to the so-called washing tub and dehydrating tub. Even if the lid of the washing tub of the two-layer type automatic washing machine has the structure of the main lid or the structure of the double lid, the same operation and effect as the above can be obtained. In addition, in the above-described embodiment, in order to enhance the drainage efficiency on the lid 1, a plurality of drainage sections 4 may be formed, and in addition, the angle and direction of the slope 1a may be changed in its setting. In that case, it is necessary to make the design inconspicuous. In addition, unevenness such as the washing members 5 and 6 may be formed on almost the entire upper surface of the lid 1. Further, a small motor or the like is built into the washing members 5 and 6 of the above embodiment, and the washing members 5 and 6 are vibrated by supplying power from the washing machine 2 so that the hand washing and washing work can be performed more easily. You may

[Effect of device]

 As described above, since the lid of the washing machine according to the present invention is provided with the washing members for hand-washing with different lengths having a plurality of irregularities formed on the upper surface of the lid, the laundry is washed by hand-washing. There is no need to prepare a washing plate when doing so, and you can easily wash by hand while facing the washing machine.You can remove persistent dirt that cannot be easily removed with a washing machine. Since a raised part is provided on the top part, it is possible to prevent water dripping from the laundry pulled from the washing tub during hand-washing and washing work from flowing out to the outside of the top surface of the lid, and a drainage part is provided at the center part of the lid. In addition, since the slope facing the drainage part is formed on the top surface of the lid, it is possible to drain the water on the top surface of the lid to the washing tub and prevent the water from flowing out around the washing machine. Easy to use and handy There washing itself can be very easy to perform.
