Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a drain hose from damage and perforation and improve the operability of changing over the left and right attachment of the hose by providing a drain hose connection on the outside of a drain port of a washing machine and a back vertical wall of a base in the nearly central portion between the left and right directions. CONSTITUTION:A drain pipe 4 is connected to a drain port 3 provided on the bottom of a washing tank 1 and a drain receiver 2. A lower outlet 5 is disposed adjacent a guide hole 8 provided on the rear plane portion 7 of a base 6, and a collar 9 provided on the way of the drain pipe 4 is mounted on the plane portion 7. The outlet 5 of the drain pipe 4 is provided outside a vertical wall 10 of the base 6, i.e., outside the washing machine. Further, the drain hose 11 is removably connected to the outlet 5 and fixed on the way by a hose support 12 with the distal end being removably hooked on an outer frame 13. Thus, even if the drain hose 11 is pushed into the interior of the washing machine to make contact with the interior rotary section or the like. It is not perforated and even if the drain hose 11 is replaced to the left side, it can simply be replaced with an external operation.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to prevention of holes in a drain hose of a washing machine and improvement of workability when changing the drain hose between the left and right sides.

[Conventional technology]

In the conventional device, as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-42538, the drain hose is installed by connecting one end to the drain port at the bottom of the washing tub, crawling around inside the base, and installing the other end on the side of the base. The pipe was made to pass through the hole. Also, the drainage hose was stored inside. In this case, when installing the washing machine, if the drain port is located close to the washing machine, the drain hose may be forced into the inside of the washing machine because the length of the drain hose is excessive.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

When the above conventional technology is installed, if the drain hole is close to the washing machine, the length of the drain hose will be extra, so when the drain hose is pushed into the washing machine, it will come into contact with the internal rotating parts and cause damage or holes. There was a problem.

In addition, no consideration was given to workability by changing the left and right sides of the drain hose, and there was a problem in that the tip of the drain hose had to be pulled out of the hole in the base, inserted into the hole on the opposite side, and then pulled out.

The purpose of the present invention is to prevent the drainage hose from being damaged or punctured, and to improve the workability of changing the left and right hoses.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above purpose, a drain hose is connected to a drain pipe (connected between the drain port of the washing tub and the base) provided on the outside of the wall at the back of the base.

[Effect]

If the drain hole is close to the washing machine, if you insert the drain hose directly into the drain hole, there will be a surplus of drain hose, but this can be done by meandering around the floor surface, allowing for smooth installation of the drain hose.

Also, to change between left and right attachments, simply remove the hose support part in the middle of the drain hose, rotate it to the opposite side, and fix it with the hose support on the opposite side.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

A drain pipe 4 is connected to the drain port 3 provided at the bottom of the washing tub 1 and the dehydration water receiver 2, and the lower outlet portion 5 is exposed to the guide 68 provided on the rear plane portion 7 of the base 6.
It has a structure in which a collar 9 provided in the middle is placed on the flat part 7. This collar 9 receives the load in the thrust direction, and has the effect of preventing the washing tub 1 from falling when a load is applied to the washing tub 1. It also maintains the parallelism of the belt and prevents problems such as abnormal noise and belt coming off. Solvable. The outlet section 5 of this drainage pipe 4
are arranged on the outside of the vertical wall 10 of the base 6. That is,
It is installed on the outside of the washing machine.

The drain hose 11 is detachably connected to the outlet portion 5, fixed in the middle with a hose support 12, and detachably hung at the tip on the outer frame 13. In this embodiment, the drainage hose 11 is connected vertically to the outside of the vertical wall 1o of the base 6 using the drainage pipe 4. However, if the connection part of the drainage hose 11 is outside the vertical wall 10, The exit direction is free. A pulsator 14 is installed at the bottom of the washing tub 1. P pulley 15 is also
A dehydration motor 17 is supported by a vibration-proof spring 18 at the bottom of the dehydration tank 16 .

FIG. 4 shows a conventional embodiment.

A drain hose 11 connected to the drain port 3 passes through the inside of the base 6, passes through a hole 19 provided on the side surface of the base 6, and is disposed outside. Note that the holes 19 are provided on both sides of the base 6.

In the above configuration, when the drain hole is installed close to the washing machine, the length of the drain hose 11 may be too long and become curved in the middle, resulting in incomplete drainage or if there is any residue left in the drain hose 11. Problems such as water remaining and freezing occur in the winter. For this reason, there are many cases in which the drain hose 11 is forced into the interior.

In this case, the drain hose 11 is bent inside the washing machine, and the internal dewatering motor 17. It hits rotating parts and edges such as the P pulley 15, and if the drain hose 11 is operated in this condition, it will be damaged or punctured.

In the present invention, since the connection part of the drain hose 11 is located outside the base 6, the drain hose 11 does not enter inside and touch rotating parts, etc., so that no holes are formed.

Incidentally, the excess water can be disposed of by making the drain hose 11 meander along the floor surface.

Next, when changing the attachment of the drain hose 11 to the left side, all you have to do is remove it from the hose support 12 and set it on the hose support 12 on the opposite side. This allows you to work outside the washing machine, which improves work efficiency. Moreover, since it does not hit the edges of other parts, there is no need to worry about damage.

Furthermore, since the drainage hose 11 can be easily replaced by external work, even general customers can replace it.

Conventionally, the tip of the drain hose 11 had to be pulled out from the hole 19 of the base 6, inserted into the hole 19 on the opposite side, and pulled out.Moreover, since the work was to be carried out inside the base 6, it was difficult to move the drain hose 11 to the opposite side. This causes problems such as unevenness due to contact with the internal motor, P pulley 15, etc.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the installation has the effect of preventing holes in the drain hose 11 during work and the effect of improving work efficiency, and also has the effect of significantly improving work efficiency when changing the left and right mounting and during service repair. .

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, when the drain hole is close to the washing machine, it is only necessary to meander the drain hose 11 along the floor surface, so the drain hose 11 is pushed into the washing machine and the internal rotating parts etc. It does not cause any holes due to contact with the material, and has the effect of improving workability.

In addition, even when the drain hose 11 is attached to the left side, the attachment can be easily changed by outside work, resulting in a significant improvement in work efficiency.

Furthermore, service repairs can also be performed by customers, which has the effect of improving serviceability.
