Description

The present invention is effective in washing hair attached to clothes when washing clothes such as dogs, cats and other special goods clothes and aprons, slacks, skirts and socks worn by pet beauticians who handle pets. The present invention relates to a washing machine having an appliance having a function of removing well.

With the recent pet boom, the number of pets has increased, and it is said that the number of registered domestic dogs and cats is said to rise to about 2,168 million. It has been greatly exceeded. And with the trend toward nuclear families becoming stronger, pets are also more likely to be treated as family members. As a result, not only pet products but also human-like services such as pet insurance and pet sitters are heated.

Pet beauticians who handle pets such as dogs, cats, etc. wear aprons, slacks, skirts, socks, etc. Adhere to.
Similarly, many pet hair such as clothes, rugs, mats and towels for pets also have hair loss.
Pets often lose their hair several times a year, and the hair attached to pet supplies often adheres to the washing tub. After washing, the hair often reattaches to the clothes of family members. .

In this way, the clothes of pets and pet beauticians with animal hair attached are removed with a brushing brush or the like, but many remain because of tanning hair.
Usually, the attached hair remains and is washed and further removed by using a removing means. However, this is accompanied by the trouble that it is necessary to clean the dehydrated clothes by removing them one by one with the fingertips.

<Conventional technology>
As the removing means, generally, there are a net bag, a net bag, a cloth bag, or a raised ball floating capsule that floats together with washing water as a filter provided at a water outlet in a dewatering tank.

For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-50709 of Patent Document 1, “a floating ball formed with a raised material such as a hook-and-loop fastener in a capsule-like container through which water flows is rotated together with clothing to remove lint and the like in a laundry tub It is attached to the brushed material and removed ".
Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-70694 of Patent Document 2 introduces an invention in which “circulation permeation means is provided with a lint collecting means for removing lint and fluff mixed in a circulation pump and washing water”. .
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-57287 of Patent Document 3 states that “a filter case having a filtration net body is detachably attached to a wall of a dewatering tank and a filter case is detachably attached to the washing water. The invention of “filtering hair and lint” has been introduced.

JP 2011-50709 A JP 2001-70694 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-57287

However, any of the inventions introduced above have problems.
In the invention of Patent Document 1, since the floating ball rotates together with the clothing, the contact with the washing water is limited, a sufficient removal effect cannot be obtained, and it is easy to get dirty. However, such a complicated work as waiting for the hair to be separated from the floating ball must be removed.
The invention of Patent Document 2 is a washing machine that is complicated and expensive, with a washing water circulation pump mechanism and a filter installed in the circulation path. On the other hand, since the filter is in the circulating water passage, a fine mesh must be avoided, and only the effect of coarse sieving can be expected, and the hair remains and is easily soiled. It is also difficult to change the filter.
In addition, the invention of Patent Document 3 is a complicated process in which the wall surface of the dehydration tank is opened, the filter case is detachably attached, and the filtration net is attached to the inside so that it can be turned over. The replacement work is complicated. In addition, it is difficult to remove the filtrate by turning over the filtration net.

The present invention makes it easy to attach the inner wall of the dehydration tank with a single touch without touching the inner wall, touching all the water flow of the washing water, and maintaining cleanliness without getting dirty. The present invention provides a washing machine equipped with a robust and easy-to-structure hair removal tool that can be trapped and released, and easily removed with a single touch after washing to easily and quickly remove trapped hair.

The present invention is a washing machine having an excellent effect to achieve all of the above objects, and the feature thereof is as follows (1).

(1) In the inner wall (102) of the dewatering tank (101), a hair removing tool (200) is provided, and the hair removing tool (200) is configured so that one end (200a) of the main body (200H) Attach to the inner wall (102) of the dewatering tank (101) by the attaching / detaching means (210), and place the other end (200b) on the water flow direction (105) side in the water tank. A washing machine characterized in that it is free and has a large number of protrusions (201) on the surface of the main body (200H), and the tip (202) of the protrusion (201) is directed toward the anti-water flow direction (103) in the water tank. (100).
(2) The protrusion (201) has a lower end diameter of 1 to 3 mm, a protrusion height of 1 to 4 mm, preferably 1.5 to 2 mm, and 30 to 30 in the anti-water flow direction (103) in the water tank from the perpendicular to the main body 200H. The washing machine (100) according to (1), wherein the washing machine (100) has a hook shape inclined at 75 °.

The washing machine of the present invention can be easily attached to the inner wall of the dehydration tank with one touch, bringing all of the protrusions into contact with the water flow of the washing water, and maintaining cleanliness without getting dirty, while maintaining particularly fine pet hair. It is equipped with a hair removal tool with a robust and simple structure that can be trapped and released, and after washing, the hair trapped by the protrusions can be easily and quickly removed with one touch.
That is, the hair removal tool is positioned so that one side end is in the anti-water flow direction and the other end is set free in the water flow direction side so as to be separated from or approached the water tank inner wall on the side in the water flow direction by contact with all the water flow. It swings and reliably traps the mixed hair with the protrusion on the surface and does not release it.

  As a result, washing of clothes such as apron, slacks, skirts and socks worn by pet beauticians who handle pets, such as dogs, cats, etc. It is achieved by removing and always wearing clean clothing without residual hair.

It is a general | schematic perspective explanatory drawing of the washing machine which equipped the hair removal tool with the inner wall of the dehydration tank. It is a plane (surface which becomes a front if it attaches to the inner wall of a dehydration tank) which shows the example of arrangement of the projection in the main part of a hair removal tool, (1) shows projection arrangement example 1, and (2) shows projection arrangement example 2. . Further, (3) is a cross-sectional clear view seen from the arrow AA in (1). FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a shape example of a protrusion 201, (1) shows a shape example 1, (2) shows a shape example 2, (3) shows a shape example 3, and (4) shows a shape example 4. (5) shows shape example 5. It is explanatory drawing which introduces the embodiment examples (1)-(4) of the attachment / detachment means which connects a main body to the inner wall of a dehydration tank with one touch.

The form for implementing this invention is demonstrated in detail by the following Example.

The first embodiment will be introduced with reference to FIGS.
1 and 2, the washing machine 100 of this example arranges a single hair removal tool 200 or a plurality of hair removal tools 200 in a face-to-face relationship on the inner wall 102 of the dewatering tank 101. A sufficient effect can be obtained by the face-to-face arrangement arranged at a rotation angle of 180 degrees of the dewatering tank 101, but it is not necessary to be limited to this, and depending on the capacity of the dehydrating tank 101, a single stage or multiple stages or a circumference What is necessary is just to arrange | position with the rotation angle feeling suitable for the direction suitable.

The hair removal tool 200 is made of a synthetic material such as an elastic / flexible artificial rubber, natural rubber, plastic or the like as a material of the main body 200H under the condition that the hair is efficiently trapped without damaging the laundry. It is made of resin and formed into a plate shape, and has a length of 100 to 120 mm, a width of 40 to 60 mm, and a thickness of 1.5 to 5.0 mm.

The main body 200H is detachably mounted on the inner wall 102 of the dewatering tank 101 with one side end 200a positioned on the side opposite to the water flow direction 103 in the water tank, and the other side end 200b is free on the water flow direction 105 side in the water tank. Position.

The main body 200H has a large number of protrusions 201 fixed on the surface thereof, preferably in a zigzag shape, with the tips directed toward the anti-water flow direction 103 in the water tank, as shown in FIG. Or as shown to (2) of FIG. 2, the front-end | tip 202 is fixedly arranged in the zigzag form toward diagonally toward the anti-water flow direction 103 side in a water tank. Or the example of arrange | positioning combining these arrangement | positioning suitably is raised.

The protrusion 201 is the same material as the main body and has a lower end major axis of 1 to 4 mm, a minor axis of 1 to 4 mm, and a projection height as a condition for safely and efficiently trapping hair without damaging the laundry. It is 1 to 4 mm, preferably 1.5 to 2 mm, and has a hook shape that is inclined 30 to 75 ° from the perpendicular to the main body 200H toward the one end 200a, that is, in the anti-water flow direction 103 in the water tank.

That is, the trapping surface 201x on which the protrusion 201 is inclined traps (captures) mainly hair in running water coming from the inclined side and does not release it.
Moreover, when the trapped hair is pulled to the inclined side, it exhibits an excellent effect that it can be easily detached and removed.

An example of the shape of the protrusion 201 is shown in FIG. (1) in FIG. 3 is a projection 201-1 having a deformed conical horn (corner) shape, the trap surface 201a is a curved surface type, and (2) in FIG. 3 is an uneven surface of the trap surface 201b. FIG. 3 (3) shows a projection 201-3 with a trap surface 201c having an acute angle, and FIG. 3 (4) shows that the trap surface 201d has a curved shape. (5) in FIG. 3 is a protrusion 201-5 formed by digging and bending the surface portion of the main body 200H. The shape of the trap surface is not limited to these shapes, and various similar shapes may be appropriately assumed as long as hairs in the flowing water can be trapped.

Further, the main body 200H can be elastically deformed by a water flow as described above, and its one end 200a is positioned on the side opposite to the water flow direction 103 in the water tank, and the other end 200b is free to dehydrate the inner wall 102 of the dewater tank 101. Since it is detachably attached to the hole 104 or the inner wall, the free side is moved away from and closer to the inner wall of the water tank by the contact between the surface of the main body 200H and the water flow, and the protrusion on the surface is rocked.
By the swinging of the main body 200H, the trapping chances of the protrusions 201 with respect to the hair in the running water are evenly given to all the protrusions.

In other words, the reason for the peristaltic movement is that when there is no peristaltic movement, a large amount of hair is trapped in the most advanced protrusion 201 and the hair is not easily trapped in the rearward protrusion 201 and escapes. For this reason, if a certain amount of hair is trapped in the leading edge and the protrusion 201 in the vicinity thereof, the hair removal effect is inferior.

Thus, the attachment / detachment means 210 having a simple structure is used to attach the main body 200H of the hair removal tool 200 to the inner wall 102 of the one end portion 200a of the dehydration tank 101.
The following specific examples will be introduced as examples of attachment / detachment means.
(1) As shown in FIG. 4 (1), a button 210A that can be elastically deformed and pushed into the dewatering hole 104 on the back surface thereof integrally with the one side end portion 200a of the main body 200H is arranged at intervals of the holes. What was formed with.
(2) As shown in FIG. 4 (2), a hook 210B made of a metal or resin that can be inserted into and removed from the dewatering hole 104 and has a spring function that presses the tip of the hole back is provided in the hole. Attached with mounting pins 210B-1 at intervals of 104. The hook 210 </ b> B is a horizontal stab type in which the tip that contacts the back of the hole 104 is directed in the water flow direction 105, but may be any of the vertical stab type.
(3) As shown in FIG. 4 (3), permanent magnets 210C are formed at a predetermined interval on the back surface of the one end portion 200a of the main body 200H, and magnetic metal is formed on the inner wall surface of the water tank at the same intervals as the permanent magnets 210C. The plate 210C-1 is disposed by bonding.
(4) As shown in FIG. 4 (4), suction cups 210D are installed at predetermined intervals on the back surface of the one side end portion 200a of the main body 200H, and the suction cups 210D are disposed on the inner wall surface of the water tank. is there.

With the above configuration, the washing machine of this example is a pet beautician who handles a dedicated goods clothes for pets such as dogs and cats and pets by simply attaching a hair removal tool with a simple and simple structure to the inner wall of the dehydration tank with one touch. While washing clothes such as aprons, slacks, skirts, socks, etc. worn by the wearer, all the protrusions are brought into contact with the water flow of the washing water without damaging the laundry, and the hair removal tool is kept clean and clean. However, especially fine pet hair and lint could not be efficiently trapped and separated, and after washing, the hair trapped by the protrusion could be removed easily and quickly with one touch. For this reason, the dehydrated laundry was not damaged at all and was able to be finished into a clean and clean garment with no hair left on the laundry.

  The present invention exhibits the above-described excellent operational effects. For this reason, there is a tremendous contribution to the pet beauty industry in improving the work environment, increasing the efficiency of pet beauty work, ensuring safety, and the like.
