And circulating air passage 109 to dry the clothes in the 03, those having a already known (e.g., see Patent Document 1.).

  As shown in FIG. 16, the bearing support member 111 extends to a peripheral area including a boss part 111 a that supports the bearing 106 and an opening part of the air blowing port 108 around the base part of the boss part 111 a, and is back to the back part opening 102 a of the water tank 102. And a seat base 111b for fixing the stator 104a of the motor 104 to the back surface. This seat 111b has a cut-out part 111c that is exposed to the back part while avoiding the air blowing port 108 in a part of the circumferential direction so as not to disturb the connection from the back part of the air blowing side 109a of the circulation air flow path 109. Yes. The cut portion 111c is a substantially rectangular through hole curved in the circumferential direction as shown in FIG. 18, and has a mounting hole 111d on the entire circumference of the seat base 111b including the outer periphery of the cut portion 111c. It can be attached. The space around the base 111b, the back opening 102a of the water tank 102, and the base of the rotating shaft 105 is sealed by a seal member 115.

  A shaft connection support member 112 connected to one end portion of the rotating shaft 105 supported by the bearing 106 is applied to the bottom opening 103 a of the rotating drum 103 from the back side, and the body portion / bottom portion of the rotating drum 103 is fitted. The cylindrical wall 103b is screwed from the outer peripheral surface side at a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction to integrate both, and the rotating shaft 105 is a shaft at the center of the shaft coupling support member 112 by providing a flange portion 105a at one end thereof. Both are integrated by screwing to the connecting portion 112a.

  The shaft coupling support member 112 further includes a radial arm 112b extending radially from the shaft coupling portion 112a, an annular seal wall 112c that couples the middle of the radial arm 112b and is connected and fitted to the bottom opening 103a of the rotary drum 103. Each end of the radial arm 112b is screwed to the barrel / bottom fitting cylindrical wall 103b of the rotary drum 103, and the seal member 113 is formed between the annular seal wall 112c and the bottom opening 103a of the rotary drum 103. A radial labyrinth gap formed between the annular sealing wall 112c and the annular portion of the portion of the back wall of the water tank 102 which is the outer peripheral side region of the annular sealing wall. Ventilation from the inner side in the radial direction to the outer side is restricted by the mechanical seal 114.

  As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, a resin mesh cover 116 that closes the bottom opening 103 a from the inner side is fixed in contact with the bottom of the rotary drum 103. The mesh cover 116 rotates together with the rotating drum 103 while allowing the air from the air blowing port 108 to disperse and pass through, so that the air can be uniformly introduced into a wide area in the rotating drum 103 to increase the drying efficiency and to prevent the drying unevenness. Yes. The mesh cover 116 is a disc body, and an infinite number of mesh holes 116b are formed for each sector region 116a in the circumferential direction, leaving a central portion and a peripheral portion, and a radial reinforcing region connecting the central portion and the peripheral portion. The bottom opening 103a of the rotary drum 103 is also formed at a position and shape corresponding to the sector region 116a, and is connected to the corresponding opening shape contour of the shaft coupling support member 112.

  By the way, in the drum-type washing mechanism as described above, the rotating drum 103 is provided horizontally or inclined from the horizontal, and the laundry tends to stay not only in the circumferential lowermost part but also in the axially lowermost part in the inclined installation. This shows a tendency, and the laundry is biased in the axial direction by the user. For example, the rotational load of the rotary drum 103 is likely to be biased, which causes a swing. Further, the swiveling of the rotating drum 103 is based on the fact that the rotating support of the rotating drum 103 is a cantilevered support that supports the rotating shaft 105 connected to the bottom of the rotating drum 103 at the back of the water tank 102. It occurs as a movement.

  The flourwood movement of the rotating drum 103 is transmitted to the rotating shaft 105, which is received by the bearing support member 111 on the back surface of the water tank 102 via the bearing 106. The receiving load at this time acts as a force that the swing side of the rotating shaft 105 of the seat 111b is pressed against the back surface of the water tank 102 as the boss portion 111a tries to follow the swing of the rotating drum 103 with the rotating shaft 105. This function is repeated over the entire circumference of the seat 111b by the rotation of the swing. Such a situation is considered to be substantially the same in the shaft connection support member 112 in which the end portions aligned in the circumferential direction are connected to the rotary drum 103.

  On the other hand, the conventional support structure disclosed in Patent Document 1 is sufficiently resistant to such a load at the time of swinging, and is limited to a swinging range, a vibration range, and a noise range that do not interfere with practical use.

Japanese Patent No. 4044462

  However, in recent years, further improvement in processing capacity has been demanded, and in the dehydration process, it has been desired to further increase the rotational speed, which was about 1200 rpm, about 1600 rpm. In response to this, the present inventor conducted various experiments in the current form, and with the current support structure, the support strength necessary for suppressing the swinging of the rotating drum 103 during high-speed operation is insufficient, so It was judged that the degree of rotation, vibration, and noise greatly exceeded the practical range, and that the service life was reduced early.

  Therefore, the present inventor pays attention to the relationship between the shape of the bearing support member 111 and the shaft coupling support member 112 in the current support structure as described above and the action of the load, and the bearing support member during the swinging of the rotary drum 103. 111, the maximum tilt angle of the rotating shaft 105 with respect to the shaft connection support member 112 is verified as the maximum deformation amount (first verification), and depending on how the load is applied to the corresponding bearing support member 111 and shaft connection support member 112. The resulting stress value distribution was verified (second verification).

  The first verification was performed for the bearing support member 111 as an analysis model shown in FIG. 13 (e), and for the shaft connection support member 112, the analysis model shown in FIG. 14 (e) was used. . In the second verification, the stress distribution of the bearing support member 111 at the time of the first verification is measured and verified, and the stress distribution of the shaft connection support member 112 at the time of the first verification is measured and verified. is there. As shown in FIG. 13D, the first and second verification results of the bearing support member 111 are a maximum deformation amount of 0.24 ° and a maximum stress of 61 MPa (weight 3.6 kg). The stress distribution at that time is shown, and it can be seen that the maximum stress portion is concentrated in the wide area on both sides in the circumferential direction of the seat 111b of the cut portion 111c and scattered in the point symmetry region.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14C, the first and second verification results of the shaft coupling support member 112 are a maximum deformation amount of 0.15 ° and a maximum stress of 50 MPa (weight 3.5 kg). (A) shows the stress distribution part on the front and back surfaces at that time individually, and the maximum stress is cut off at the end of each radial arm on the back side and the three radial ribs 112e on the annular seal wall 112c on the front side. Concentrated on the part corresponding to both sides of the portion 111c and the point symmetrical position on this, high stress that is slightly lower than the maximum stress is the center of the peripheral rib 112f of the shaft coupling portion 112a and the radial arm 112b on the back side. Concentration on the vertical rib 112d was observed. FIG. 14D shows measurement results of the deformation amount and the tilt angle of the rotating shaft 105 with respect to the shaft coupling support member 112.

  From the above verification results, the rotating shaft 105 is provided with radial and annular reinforcing ribs and box-shaped reinforcing ribs that do not follow or follow the contours of the bearing supporting member 111 and the shaft coupling supporting member 112. Nevertheless, it was found that the maximum stress that partially exceeded the strength was brought about, and a large amount of deformation and tilt angle exceeding the practical range were exhibited, and the swaying occurred. To cope with this, simply increasing the volume of the bearing support member 111 and the shaft coupling support member 112 increases the weight and driving load, which goes against resource and energy savings and is expensive. .

  The object of the present invention is based on such new knowledge, and the shaft that can suppress the whirling, vibration, and noise of the rotating drum below the practical range in response to the high speed rotation without increasing the weight and driving load. It is an object of the present invention to provide a drum type washing / drying machine having a connecting support member and a method for reinforcing a bearing support member for supporting a rotating drum used therefor.

In order to achieve the above object, the drum type washing / drying machine of the present invention includes a water tank elastically supported in the washing machine main body, and a rotational axis direction from the front side opening to the bottom side of the bottomed cylindrical shape.

On the annular seal peripheral wall Each radial arm has a front end on the side surface of the shaft connecting portion between the bases where stress due to load tends to concentrate. It is connected without any weight increase by a three-dimensional reinforcement bridge that extends from the side to the open end on the water tank side in an umbrella shape, and forms a box-type reinforcement form that opens to the water tank side between the side peripheral surface of the shaft coupling part In addition to increasing the strength against torsion caused by the bending strength and the direction of rotation of the rotating shaft moving in the circumferential direction, the box-type augmented form also exhibits an elastic deformation characteristic due to the open form to the aquarium side. Can be easily reduced at the base of the radial arm so that a large stress is not generated up to the attachment to the rotating drum .

In addition to the above SL, further, between the shaft connecting portion and the annular seal wall of the shaft connecting the support member, form and size of the ventilation area formed by separating each radial arm, it corresponds to that of the air blowing port, the air blowing It does not impair the air blowing from the mouth into the water tank, and satisfies the air blowing toward the center of the rotating drum .

  Hereinafter, a drum-type washing and drying machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 14 for understanding of the present invention. In addition, the following description is a specific example of this invention, Comprising: The content of description of a claim is not limited.

  The drum-type washing / drying machine 100 according to the present embodiment, which shows essential parts under different omissions in FIGS. 1 to 4, includes a water tub 1 elastically supported by a suspension mechanism (not shown) in a washing machine body (not shown), A rotating drum 3 installed in the water tank 1 so that the direction of the rotating shaft 2 is inclined horizontally or downward from the horizontal direction from the front side opening to the bottom side in the bottomed cylindrical shape, and the rotating drum 3, a motor 5 that drives the shaft 3, a bearing 5 of the rotating shaft 2 and a bearing support member 6 that supports the motor 4 on the back surface of the water tank 1, and air after being dehumidified by exhausting air in the water tank 1 by a blower fan (not shown) A recirculation passage (not shown) for repeatedly drying air in the water tank 1 through the air outlet 7 and drying clothes and the like in the rotary drum 3 and a shaft connection support for connecting and supporting the rotary shaft 2 to the bottom of the rotary drum 3 Part 8, and the mesh cover 9 closing the bottom opening 3a of the rotary drum 3 is also equipped with has a basic structure as hereinbefore described.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the bearing support member 6 includes a boss portion 6 a that supports the bearing 5, and a peripheral region that includes the opening portion of the air outlet 7 around the base portion of the boss portion 6 a. And a seat base 6b which is connected to the back opening 1a of the overhanging water tank 1 from the back side and is fixed by bolts 11 and the stator 4a of the motor 4 is fixed by bolts 12. This seat 6b has a cut-out portion 6c that is exposed to the back portion while avoiding the air blowing port 7 in a part of the circumferential direction so as not to disturb the connection from the back side on the air blowing side of the circulation air blowing path. . The seat 6b is attached to the back portion of the water tank 1 by the bolt 11 over the entire outer periphery thereof. The space around the base 6b, the back opening 1a of the water tank 1, and the base of the rotating shaft 2 is sealed by a seal member 13. The rotor 4b of the boss portion 6a is formed integrally with an inner peripheral rotor 4b1 and an outer peripheral rotor 4b2 arranged on the inner and outer periphery of the stator 4a, and is bolted to the outer end 2b of the rotating shaft 2 with a bolt 20 to form one stator 4a. The two rotors 4b1 and 4b2 are electromagnetically coupled to each other so that the rotary drum 3 can be driven to rotate with high torque without being bulky.

  A shaft connection support member 8 connected to one end portion of the rotating shaft 2 supported by the bearing 5 is applied to the bottom opening 3a of the rotating drum 3 from the outer surface side, and the body portion / bottom portion of the rotating drum 3 is fitted. Bolts 14 are bolted from the outer surface side to the cylindrical wall 3b with bolts 14 from the outer surface side to integrate both, and the rotary shaft 2 is provided with a bolt 15 on the shaft connection support member 8 by providing a flange portion 2a at one end thereof. Both are integrated with bolts.

  Here, this embodiment is a drum-type laundry having a bearing support member that can sufficiently suppress the whirling, vibration, and noise of the rotating drum in response to the high speed rotation without increasing the weight and driving load. The bearing support member 6 is first improved with the intention of making the dryer 100. The main improvement is that a part of the seat 6b in the circumferential direction has a cut part 6c that is exposed by avoiding the blower port 7 part, and a high maximum stress is concentrated in a wide area on both sides of the cut part 6c. It is assumed that the radial reinforcing portions 21 facing substantially in the radial direction are provided on both sides in the circumferential direction.

  In the drum type washing and drying machine 100 of the present embodiment, as described above, the rotating drum 3 is basically supported by the current support structure with respect to the water tank 1 that is elastically supported, and the current drive structure is used. The bearing support member 6 extends to a peripheral area including the boss portion 6a for supporting the bearing 5 and the opening portion of the air blowing port 7 around the base portion 6a of the boss portion, and is fixed to the water tank 1. And a seat base 6b for fixing the stator 4a of the motor 4, and a cutout portion 6c that is exposed by avoiding the air blowing port 7 at a part of the circumferential direction of the seat base 6b. Although following the current basic form so as not to interfere with the connection, on the both sides in the circumferential direction of the cut-out portion 6c, there are substantially V-shaped ribs oriented in the substantially radial direction as shown in FIGS. Bending strength in the radial direction compared to the current design by providing radial augmentation part 21 Due to the enhanced improvement, a high bending load in the radial direction acting on both sides in the circumferential direction of the seat 6b of the excision part 6c when the rotating drum 3 is swung is received by the local part in the circumferential direction, and is generated in a wide area of the excision part 6c. In addition, the maximum stress can be dispersed and reduced, and the rotation shaft 2 can be prevented from falling and the seat 6b from being deformed.

  This means that the partial increase in volume required for the reinforcement by providing the radial enhancement portion 21 can be offset with the partial decrease in the volume where only a small stress is applied. It can be said that this is a method of strengthening the bearing support member 6 by volume movement using a difference.

  Here, the radial reinforcing part 21 is an extension of the radial reinforcing part 21 when it overlaps with the normal radial reinforcing ribs 22 as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. It refers to at least one enhancement structure such as thickening, increasing height, etc., and they can also be combined. In the illustrated example, it is provided in combination with a normal radial reinforcing rib 22, an annular reinforcing rib 23, a contour reinforcing rib 24 along the contour, a box reinforcing rib 28 surrounding the mounting holes 30, 31 on the outer periphery of the seat 6b, and the like. Further, the radial enhancement portion 21 is made thicker than those.

  According to such a main improvement, the rotary drum 3 and the motor 4 are provided with a boss portion 6a that cantilever-supports the rotary shaft 2 with the bearing 5, and an opening portion of the air outlet 7 of the water tank 1 around the boss portion 6a. In the bearing support member 6 in the basic form that follows the current basic form including the seat base 6b that is fixed to the surrounding water tank 1 and is fixed to the water tank 1 and that fixes the stator 4a of the motor 4, the circumferential direction of the seat base 6b A portion where a maximum stress is applied due to a load when the rotating drum 3 is swung on both sides of the cut portion 6c that is exposed to avoid the air vent 7 portion at a part of the cut portion 6c. Is generated in a wide area on both sides of the excision part 6c when the rotating drum swings around due to the high bending strength of the radial reinforcing part 21 provided so as to be a substantially V-shaped rib facing in the direction. The maximum stress It is possible to reduce the rotation of the rotating shaft 2 and to prevent deformation of the seat 6b, and the swinging degree, vibration and noise of the rotating drum 3 are improved. A sufficient lifespan can be obtained. The partial increase in volume required for this increase can be prevented from becoming excessively weighted as an increase in the bearing support member due to volume movement, which cancels out the partial decrease in volume where only a small amount of stress works. The volume increase with respect to the speed increase can be suppressed compared to the conventional design.

  Moreover, the said radial reinforcement part 21 is provided so that it may extend from the said boss | hub part 6a to the outer periphery vicinity of the seat base 6b. Thereby, the radial reinforcement part 21 is extended from the boss | hub part 6a of the seat base 6b to the outer peripheral side, and the radial base corresponding to the deformation direction of the seat base 6b by the shake | fluctuation of the rotating shaft 2 is carried out from the deformation | transformation base to a deformation | transformation termination | terminus. The rotating shaft 2 is tilted toward the cut portion 6c and the bending load in the radial direction of the seat 6b is shared and received in the circumferential direction, and the seat 6b from the boss 6a to the outer periphery is received. Since the effect of dispersing and reducing the large stress is exerted on the outer periphery of the seat 6b, it is possible to more reliably suppress the rotation shaft 2 from falling to the cut portion 6c and the deformation of the seat 6b. Furthermore, the seat 6b also has a bridge reinforcement part 25 extending so as to connect the radial reinforcement parts 21 and 21. The bridge reinforcing portion 25 connects the radial reinforcing portions 21 and 21 to be V-shaped ribs so as to form an A-shaped rib, and enhances a triangular box extending from the boss portion 6a side of the cut portion 6c to the boss portion 6a. In addition to the triangular rib shape that constitutes the portion 26, the reinforcement by the box structure also increases the strength of the corresponding area, and the rotation shaft 2 falls to the cut portion 6c side and thereby the radial direction of the seat 6b While increasing the strength against bending, the stress is distributed to the A-type rib portions and the non-rib-shaped planar region that they surround to further reduce the maximum stress value, and the rotation shaft 2 is tilted or seated toward the cut portion 6c. The deformation of the board 6b can be further suppressed. Since the bridge reinforcing portion 25 has a bent shape that protrudes toward the boss portion 6a along the boss portion 6a side contour of the cut portion 6c, the bridge reinforcing portion 25 and the boss portion 6a side contour of the cut portion 6c and the bridge reinforcing portion 25 are also provided. The cut area of the cut portion 6c is increased by the convex curved shape on the boss portion side, and the air blowing port 7 is opened by that much. As a result, the amount of blown air can be increased without increasing the blowing load, and the drying speed can be increased. In addition, the bending resistance in the radial direction between the radially-enhancing parts around the boss part side cut-out part of the seating board is increased from the three-dimensionalization in the radial direction.

  Further, in the seat base 6b, the radial reinforcing portions 21 and 21 on both sides of the excision portion 6c are deformed with the boss portion 6a toward the excision portion 6c side of the rotating shaft 2, that is, when the base plate 6b is placed in the aquarium at the fall side. 1 While exhibiting sufficient strength against the radial bending load that is pressed against the back surface to prevent deformation, the radial reinforcing portion is formed when the rotating shaft 2 falls down and deforms on the opposite side, that is, on the anti-resection portion 6c side. 21 and 21 are radial shapes that are almost V-shaped ribs by a saddle action in which the outer peripheral portion of the seat 6b, which is the maximum resistance point that resists the floating of the side of the seat 6b on which the seat is located from the back of the water tank 1, serves as a fulcrum. A pressing force to the back of the water tank 1 corresponding to the strength of the radial reinforcing parts 21 and 21 works at a point-symmetrical position with the reinforcing parts 21 and 21, but this causes the rotary shaft 2 to fall down toward the excision part 6c and thereby The radial bending load of the seat 6b is the radiation. High bending of the radial balance enhancing portions 27, 27, which are substantially inverted V-shaped ribs symmetric about the axis with the reinforcing portions 21, 21, and are substantially X-shaped ribs with the radial enhancing portions 21, 21 centered on the axis. Since the strength is distributed and received by the local portion in the circumferential direction, the maximum stress can be dispersed and reduced on the anti-resection part 6c side as well as on the resection part 6c side.

  As a result, the reinforcement of the seat 6b by the radial reinforcements 21 and 21 on both sides of the excision part 6c brings a high load to the position of the seat 6b that is point-symmetric by the radial balance enhancing units 27 and 27. It can be distributed and received by the local part in the circumferential direction, and the maximum stress can be dispersed and reduced in the circumferential direction on the point-symmetrical side, and the cut part 6c side and the counter cut part 6c side with the boss part 6a of the seat 6b as a boundary Thus, the dispersion and reduction of the maximum stress in the circumferential direction and the balance and reduction of the stress value can be achieved, so that it is possible to sufficiently prevent the rotation shaft 2 from falling and the seat 6b from being deformed.

  The cut portion 6c is further formed to have a substantially C-shaped outline opened to the outer periphery of the seat 6b, and the outer periphery of the seat 6b in the current form in which the cut portion 6c of the seat 6b is a through hole. By removing the contact part on the side, the volume of the part where only the stress that is less than the practical range works can be reduced. To help prevent it. Such a volume reduction operation is performed by reducing the thickness of the seat 6b from a partial normal design according to the small distribution stress value, the normal radial reinforcing rib 22, the annular reinforcing rib 23, and the contour along the contour. This can be done by reducing or deleting the thickness and height of the part reinforcing ribs 24 and the box reinforcing ribs 28.

  Moreover, the radial reinforcement part 21 of the seat 6b is between the attachment hole 31 provided in the open end in the open end part area | region 6c1 of the cutting part 6c, and the attachment hole 31 by the side of the anti-cutting part 6c adjacent to this in the circumferential direction. In the radial direction between the mounting holes 31, 31 which are essential for fastening to the back of the water tank 1 on the outer periphery of the seat 6 b, but the stress is more easily concentrated than the surroundings. In order to disperse and reduce the stress due to the large bending strength, the lack of strength of the mounting holes 31 and 31 is cooperated with the fastening to the back of the water tank 1 around the mounting holes 31 and 31 on the outer periphery of the seat 6b. The open end region 6c1 of the cut portion 6c on the outer periphery of the seat 6b can be strengthened in cooperation with the reinforced state by fastening, and the stress can be greatly reduced, and the open end region 6c1 of the cut portion 6c on the outer periphery of the seat 6b. To prevent deformation or damage Combed. Further, the open end region 6c1 with the mounting holes 31, 31 is larger than the thickness-enhancing portion 32, which is thicker than the other, and the contour reinforcing rib 24 of the other portion, to which the radial-enhancing portion 21 is connected and / or connected. Since the reinforcing portion 33 is provided with at least one of the thickened contour enhancing portions 34, in cooperation with the radial enhancing portion 21, the stress in the open end region 6 c 1 is further dispersed and reduced, and the open end portion The deformation and damage of the area 6c1 can be further prevented.

  Further, the radial reinforcing rib 22 adjacent to the radial reinforcing portion 21 on the side opposite to the cut portion 6c in the circumferential direction is closer to the side farther from the side far from the cut portion 6c of the two mounting holes 31 and 31 in the circumferential direction. It extends to the reinforcing part 33. Thereby, the radial reinforcing ribs 22 normally provided on the seat 6b, which is a disk-shaped member, extend to the reinforcing portion 33 adjacent to the radially reinforcing portion 21 on the far side in the circumferential direction from the cut portion 6c. Thus, the radial reinforcing part 21, the normal radial reinforcing rib 22 adjacent to the radial reinforcing part 22 and the reinforcing part 33 constitute a triangular box reinforcing part, and it is also strengthened by the box structure, thereby increasing the strength on both sides in the circumferential direction of the cut part 6c. The bending strength in the radial direction of the seat 6b can be increased over a wide area, and the stress can be dispersed and reduced within that range. On the other hand, the shaft connection support member 8 is also subjected to a high load when the rotary drum 3 swings between the connection portions of the rotation shaft 2 and the bottom of the rotation drum 3 as shown in FIG. 2, 4, 11, and 12, a shaft connecting portion 8 a that is connected to the rotary shaft 2 is provided at the center, and radial arms 8 b that extend radially from the shaft connecting portion 8 a, and the radial arms 8 b An annular seal wall 8c that is connected midway and is connected and fitted to the bottom opening 3a of the rotating drum 3 is provided, and each end of the radial arm 8b is connected to the barrel / bottom fitting cylindrical wall 3b of the rotating drum 3 with the bolt. The current form of bolting at 14 is followed.

  Although not related to strength, the shaft coupling support member 8 is bolted by sandwiching the mesh cover 9 with the bottom of the rotary drum 3 as shown in FIG. As described above, the mesh cover 9 is rotated by using the attachment between the bottom of the rotating drum 3 and the shaft connection support member 8 in the connection structure of the bottom of the rotation drum 3 and the rotation shaft 2 via the shaft connection support member 8. Since it is sandwiched and held between the bottom of the drum 3 and the shaft coupling support member 8, a structure for attaching the mesh cover 9 alone is unnecessary, and the mesh cover 9 only needs to be exposed to the bottom of the rotating drum 3 only in the ventilation region. The ratio that the mesh cover 9 occupies the bottom of the metal rotary drum 3 decreases. As a result, the metal surface exposure ratio at the bottom of the rotating drum 3 is increased by the amount that the resin mesh cover 9 occupies the bottom of the metallic rotating drum 3, and the appearance of the rotating drum 3 at the bottom is improved. The scratch resistance of the resin mesh cover can be improved.

  In particular, the mesh cover 9 distributes and passes the air from the air blowing port 7 while rotating together with the rotating drum 3, thereby uniformly introducing the air to a wide area in the rotating drum 3, improving the drying efficiency, and causing no drying unevenness. In the mesh cover 9, the ventilation regions having mesh eyes are arranged in the circumferential direction, and each ventilation region is exposed to the front side through the opening 3a at the bottom of the rotary drum 3 having a size and shape corresponding to the ventilation region. It is good that the ventilation areas are arranged in the circumferential direction in this way, so that the air from the blower opening is evenly introduced into the rotating drum 3 at any rotational position to avoid uneven drying, and arranged in the circumferential direction. Each ventilation area is surrounded by a decorative frame style by the bottom of the metal rotating drum 3 and decorated. Specifically, in order to work equally around the axis of the bottom of the rotating drum 3, the mesh cover 9 is a disc body as shown in FIGS. 4, 11, and 12, and has a central portion 9a, a peripheral portion 9b, and a central portion. An infinite number of mesh holes are formed in each sector region 9d arranged in the circumferential direction leaving a radial reinforcing region 9c connecting 9a and the peripheral portion 9b. Correspondingly, the bottom opening 3a of the rotary drum 3 is also formed in a position and shape corresponding to the sector region 9d as shown in FIG. 4, and the mesh cover 9 sandwiched between the shaft coupling support member 8 is formed. The sector region 9d is fitted from the back as shown in FIG. 2 so that it is flush with the front side of the bottom of the rotating drum 3. As a result, the synthetic resin mesh cover 9 has only the sector area 9d as the ventilation area, and the sector bottom opening 3a of the metal bottom surface of the rotating drum 3 made of metal such as stainless steel is flush with the metal bottom. 2 and FIG. 7 exposed, that is, a high-class feeling in which a plurality of, specifically, six sector regions 9d arranged in the circumferential direction of the mesh cover 9 are decorated with a continuous metal surface. A certain appearance can be obtained.

  In addition, the bolt 14 between the barrel / bottom fitting cylindrical wall 3b of the rotating drum 3 and the shaft connection support member 8 has a structure in which the mesh cover 9 is sandwiched between the bottom of the rotation drum 3 and the shaft connection support member 8. 2 is positioned on the back side of the peripheral portion 9b of the mesh cover 9 by positioning the barrel / bottom fitting cylindrical wall 3b shown in FIG. 2 with reference to the shaft coupling support member 8 from the virtual line position to the solid line position. An outer peripheral annular seal region 41 formed by press-contacting the bottom of the provided annular recess 9e and the annular protrusion 8d provided on the front surface of the annular seal wall 8c of the shaft coupling support member 9, the bottom of the rotary drum 3, and the rotary shaft 2 2 is clamped by a bolt 15 shown in FIG. 2 with the shaft coupling portion 8a of the shaft coupling support member 8 interposed therebetween, so that the periphery of the central opening 3c at the bottom of the rotary drum 3 is shown in FIG. Shown with 8 standards The mesh cover 9 is sandwiched by providing an inner circumferential annular seal region 42 that is pressed from the imaginary line position to the solid line state and pressed against the annular protrusion 9f provided on the front side of the peripheral portion 9b of the mesh cover 9. The inner and outer seals necessary for the structure are realized without using a special seal member. Further, the diameter formed between the annular concave and convex surfaces as shown in FIG. 1 is formed between the annular seal wall 8c of the shaft connection support member 8 and the annular portion on the outer side of the air blowing port 7 of the water tank 1 back wall. The labyrinth gap 45 in the direction restricts ventilation from the radially inner side to the outer side.

  Furthermore, since the mesh cover 9 has reinforcing ribs 9h as shown in FIG. 10 formed on the inner periphery 9a, the peripheral portion 9b, the contour portion of the reinforcing region 9c, and the back surface of the non-contour portion at the center portion, The cover 9 receives a load from the laundry in the ventilation area exposed in the rotary drum 3, but is covered and protected by the rotary drum 3 and is reinforced by a reinforcing rib formed on the contour portion and the non-contour portion. Each of the inner periphery 9a, the peripheral portion 9b, and the reinforcing region 9c of the portion supports each ventilation region from the surroundings, thereby increasing the surface rigidity.

  Each of the sector-type bottom openings 3 a at the bottom of the rotating drum 3 has an annular bent wall 3 a 1 that is bent on the back side, that is, on the mesh cover 9 side, and faces the back side. The area 9d is fitted in the recess 9g. In this way, the bending wall 3a1 bent at the back side of the bottom opening 3a at which the bottom of the rotating drum 3 exposes the ventilation area of the mesh cover 9 increases the bending rigidity at the lip, and the strength of the mesh cover 9 is protected. In addition to improving both the characteristics, the bent wall 3a1 fits into a recess formed around the ventilation region of the mesh cover 9 and is not exposed, so that the cutting edge of the bottom opening 3a does not come out to the outside. There is no cause of damaging the object, and the wraparound corner portion of the mesh cover 9 around the ventilation region to the recess 9g and the wraparound corner portion of the bottom opening 3a of the rotating drum 3 to the back portion of the bent wall 3a1 are non-edge forms. Can be separated from each other to form a secant line with a good appearance, and the user's hand or laundry can be prevented from being caught.

  The bolted portion with the rotating shaft 3 across the shaft connecting portion 8a of the shaft connecting support member 8 at the center of the bottom of the rotating drum 3 has a complicated appearance using a large number of large bolts 15 for strong fastening. The metal cover 43 applied from the front surface side is simply screwed to the shaft connecting portion 8a with a screw 44 so as to cover and conceal it with the exposed metal portion at the bottom of the rotating drum 3. The shaft coupling support member 8 is prevented from rotating by fitting a protrusion 8g provided on one radial arm 8b shown in FIG. 2 into a rotation stop hole 3d at the bottom of the rotating drum 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the mesh cover 9 is prevented from rotating by a concave and convex anti-rotation engaging portion 51 between the shaft connecting support member 8 and the shaft connecting portion 8 a.

  The shaft connection support member 8 is insufficient in strength to further increase the speed of the rotary drum 3 within the range that follows the current basic form shown in FIG. 14A due to the connection strength between the rotary drum 3 and the rotary shaft 2. Thus, the degree of swinging, vibration, and noise of the rotating drum 3 are involved in exceeding the practical range. Specifically, as described above, the end of each radial arm 8b of the shaft connection support member 8 is bolted to the barrel / bottom fitting cylindrical wall 3b of the rotary drum 3 when the rotary drum 3 swings. When the shaft coupling portion 8a is bolted around the central opening 3c at the bottom of the rotating drum 3, the maximum stress is required to receive the rotating shaft 2 which is about to fall and deform along with the boss portion 6a of the bearing support member 6. One corresponding to both ends of the cut portions 6c of the three radial ribs 8d in the annular seal wall 8c on the front side and the end of each radial arm 8b on the back side, and a point symmetrical position to this In the present embodiment, in order to cope with this, the maximum stress is about 50 MPa and the maximum stress exceeds the practical range at a high rotation load of about 1600 rpm as described above. As shown in FIG. 13, radiation from the shaft connecting portion 8a The three-dimensional reinforcement that extends in the shape of an umbrella from the front end of the side peripheral surface of the shaft connecting portion 8a to the open end on the water tank 1 side, and connects between the base portions of the adjacent radial arms 8b between the base portions of the radial arms 8b. Since the bridge 8e is integrally formed and strengthened, the high load when the rotating shaft 2 is deformed by a three-dimensional connection in the shape of an umbrella between the three members is balanced around the connecting portion of the rotating shaft 2. It can disperse and absorb, reduces the maximum stress, and most of it concentrates on the rotating shaft 2, and the shaft coupling support member 8 generates only a very small stress with respect to the maximum stress, and is sufficiently strengthened. did it.

  Specifically, the shaft connection support member 8 has a shaft connection portion 8a serving as a central portion that receives a falling load of the rotary shaft 2 generated when the rotary drum 3 swings, and is intermediate from the base of the radial arm 8b. Each radial arm 8b is transmitted between a base portion where stress due to a load is likely to be concentrated, while being transmitted to a mounting portion to the rotating drum 3 through a connecting portion by an annular seal peripheral wall 8c and received in cooperation with the rotating drum 3. The three-dimensional reinforcing bridge 8e extending from the front end of the side peripheral surface of the shaft connecting portion 8a to the open end on the water tank 1 side is connected without any particular increase in weight by the three-dimensional reinforcing bridge 8e, and between the side peripheral surface of the shaft connecting portion 8a. The box-type reinforcement form opened to the water tank 1 side is formed, and the bending strength and the strength against twisting due to the rotational direction of the rotating shaft 2 moving in the circumferential direction are increased, and the box-type reinforcement form is applied to the water tank 1 side. Open Also exhibit elastic deformation properties due to the form, large stress collapse of the rotary shaft 2 to reduce reasonably the base of the radial arm 8b to the mounting portion of the rotary drum 3 can be prevented from occurrence. As a result, the rotation, vibration, and noise of the rotating drum 3 can be reduced without increasing the weight, and the durability of the shaft coupling support member 8 can be enhanced.

  Further, the radial arm 8b has a U-shaped cross section opened to the back side, and the three-dimensional reinforcing bridge 8e of the shaft coupling support member 8 is opposed to the radial arm 8b between the shaft coupling portion 8a and the radial arm 8b. Both sides are open on both sides, and the open end connecting these sides is the bottom, forming a substantially triangular pyramid-shaped box recess with the front side of the side periphery of the shaft connecting portion 8a as the apex. Therefore, the balance between increase in bending and torsional strength and elastic deformation characteristics is suitable.

  Further, the three-dimensional enhancement bridge 8e is arranged so that the air from the air blowing port 7 of the water tank 1 (not shown) is dispersed and permeated while being diffused against the sector region 9d of the mesh cover 9 as shown by the arrow in FIG. By being curved, bent, or inclined along the flow to the side, it becomes easy to direct the air flow toward the center side of the rotating drum 3 and flows into the peripheral area of the rotating drum 3 as in the prior art. The drying efficiency can be increased compared to the case where it is insufficient. For this purpose, the open end edge shape of the three-dimensional reinforcing bridge 8e toward the water tank 1 should correspond to the edge shape on the rotation center side of the air blowing port, both of which support the bearing shown in FIGS. The shape of the cut portion 6c of the member 6 is extended to the rotation center side substantially corresponding to the bent shape of the bridge reinforcement portion 25, and the introduction of the air blow to the center side of the rotary drum 3 is guided. Further, it is preferable that the direction of the curve, bend, or inclination of the three-dimensional reinforcing bridge 8e substantially corresponds to the edge position on the rotation center side of the air blowing port 7. Incidentally, in terms of the inclination angle, it was effective at about 45 ° with respect to the axis. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the direction of blowing through the air blowing port 7 is introduced into the rotating drum 3 in cooperation with the direction of the air blowing of the air blowing port 7 and the direction of the air blowing path from the circulating air blowing path connected thereto. It is also possible to have an appropriate tendency in the direction. In any case, the inner periphery of the seal peripheral wall 8c of the shaft connection support member 8 and the inner periphery of the air blowing port 7 on the side opposite to the shaft connecting portion 8a substantially correspond to each other in the direction of the rotation shaft 2, and the rotation shaft 3 of the air blowing port 7 is provided. It is preferable that the inner peripheral edge on the side and the open end edge of the three-dimensional reinforcing bridge 8e substantially correspond to each other in the direction of the rotation axis 2. Thereby, the form and size of the sector type ventilation region formed by dividing each radial arm 8b between the shaft connecting portion 8a of the shaft connecting support member 8 and the annular seal peripheral wall 8c corresponds to that of the air blowing port 7. And there exists an advantage which does not impair the ventilation from the ventilation port 7 in the water tank 1. FIG.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the three-dimensional reinforcing bridge 8e has a three-dimensional shape opened to the back side with the outer surface of the shaft connecting portion 8a, so that each radial arm 8b connected thereto is as described above. As shown in FIG. 7, the U-shaped cross section is configured so as to be able to back up facing the back of the radial reinforcing area 9 c of the mesh cover 9. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a bridge wall 8f that rises from the U-shaped bottom and connects the two side walls is formed in the middle of the radial arm 8b in the longitudinal direction. The torsional strength and bending strength are increased by providing a box structure.

  Finally, in response to the above-described verifications 1 and 2 performed for the current bearing support member 111 and the shaft connection support member 112, the rotation speed of the bearing support member 6 and the shaft connection support member 8 of the present embodiment is 1600 rpm. A description will be given while comparing the first and second verification examples performed under the high load condition.

  The first verification is performed for the bearing support member 6 using the analytical model shown in FIG. 13 (e), and for the shaft connection support member 8 using the analytical model shown in FIG. 14 (e). It was. In the second verification, the stress distribution of the bearing support member 6 at the time of the first verification is measured and verified, and the stress distribution of the shaft connection support member 8 at the time of the first verification is measured and verified. is there.

  As shown in FIG. 13D, the first and second verification results of the bearing support member 6 are a maximum deformation amount of 0.09 ° and a maximum stress of 33 MPA (weight 4.4 kg). The stress distribution part at that time is shown, and the maximum stress part extends from the boss part 6a of the radial reinforcement parts 21 and 21 to the boss part 6a side of the ablation part 6c, and the radial reinforcement part 21 on the side opposite to the ablation part 6c. One of the adjacent radial reinforcing ribs 22, further a part of the proximal side of the adjacent radial reinforcing rib 22 on the side opposite to the cut portion 6 c, and the radial reinforcing rib 22 that is point-symmetric with respect to the boss portion 6 a. It can be seen that the radial balance enhancing portion 27 is dispersed and concentrated near the base side or the pole base portion, and the stress in other regions and parts is extremely reduced. In contrast, from the current bearing support member 111 to the bearing support member 6 of the present embodiment, the stress distribution of the bearing support member 6 ′ having a halfway shape that achieves the increase and decrease in volume is compared. As shown in FIG. 13 (b), the dispersion of the maximum stress is similar to that in FIG. 13 (c) according to the present embodiment, but the maximum stress is as shown in FIG. 13 (d). Even though the weight is the same as in the case of 39MPA (weight 4.4 kg) and FIG. 13 (c) according to the present embodiment, the stress distributed in other parts tends to be slightly high, and sufficient enhancement is achieved. I understand that there is no. In addition, FIG. 13C according to the present embodiment is 4.4 kg, which is almost 14% less than the current weight of FIG. In FIG. 13C according to the present embodiment, it can be seen that the current 61 MPA in FIG. 13A is almost halved to 33 MPA and can be handled without any weight increase.

  As shown in FIG. 14C, the first and second verification results of the shaft coupling support member 8 are 0.09 ° maximum deformation and 25 MPA (weight 3.9 kg), and FIG. ) Shows the stress distribution part on the front and back surfaces at that time individually, and it was confirmed that the maximum stress was concentrated on the rotating shaft 2 and the stress in the other parts was slight. In FIG. 13 (b) according to the present embodiment, the weight is increased by a little over 10% to 3.9kg compared with the current weight of 3.5kg in FIG. 14 (a). In FIG. 14 (b) according to the embodiment, the current MPMPa is reduced by half to 25MPA from 50MPA in FIG. 14 (a). It can be seen that this case can also be handled without an increase in weight.

  The present invention can be applied to a bearing support structure for a rotating drum of a drum type washing / drying machine, and can be kept within a practical range with respect to the degree of rotation, vibration, and noise of the rotating drum without increasing the weight for further increase in speed.
