Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it convenient to put detergent into a dispenser which is provided in a top cover by positioning an opening of it ahead of an opened lid, and giving shape to it which swells at the upper edge of the opening. CONSTITUTION:When a detergent is supplied, a lid 9 is opened, and a detergent case 16 is turned out of a receiving case 11. Then, turned back into the receiving case 11 causing the detergent to move from the detergent case 16 to the receiving case 11 to be stored in it. In this operation, an opening 18 of a dispenser 10 is positioned ahead of the opened lid 9, so that the detergent case 16 can be operated without being obstructed by the lid 9, and the detergent can be fed into the detergent case 16 and moved into the receiving case 11 easily and positively. Moreover, the opening 18 is given shape swelling at the upper edge of it, so that it is wide enough for the detergent to be put into it without spilling.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention 1 (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a washing machine in which a detergent receiving portion is provided on a top cover.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, washing machines have been provided with a detergent receiver provided on a top cover above a washing tub. In this case, the detergent receiving portion opens toward the washing tub and receives the detergent from the opening. In addition, the top cover is formed with a laundry entrance and exit, and also supports a lid that opens and closes this entrance. located at the location.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, with the above-mentioned conventional structure, when putting detergent into the detergent receptacle with a cup or the like, the lid gets in the way and some of the detergent does not fit into the container. There was a time when I was left alone.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and therefore, its purpose is to provide an excellent washing machine that allows detergent to be easily poured into the detergent receptacle without spilling part of the detergent. It is on offer.

[Configuration of the Invention (Means for Solving the Problem) In order to achieve the above object, the washing machine of the present invention has an opening on the washing tub side in the top cover that pivots the lid above the washing tub. and a detergent receiving part for receiving detergent from the opening thereof, and the washing side receiving part is located in front of the lid with the opening in the open state, and the upper edge of the opening It is characterized in that it is formed in such a way that it swells at the top.

(Function) According to the above means, since the opening of the detergent receiver is located in front of the open lid, detergent can be poured into the detergent receiver without being obstructed by the lid. Moreover, in this case, since the upper edge of the opening of the detergent receiving portion is shaped to bulge upward, the opening is positioned to expand upward, making it easier to pour in the detergent.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, FIG. 2 shows the outer box 1 of the entire washing machine, and inside the outer box 1 there is disposed a tub 4 equipped with a drive mechanism 3 mainly including a motor 2 at the outer bottom, and inside the tub 4, In this case, a tank 5 which is both a washing tank and a dehydration tank is provided, and an agitator 6 is provided at the bottom of the tank 5.

On the other hand, a top cover 7 is mounted on the outer box 1 and is located above the tub 5, and a laundry entrance/exit 8 is formed in this tombukanoku 7. In this case, the lid 9 which is folded in two is pivotally supported.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the top cover 7 is provided with a detergent receiver Mxo at the rear central portion of the periphery of the 8 inlets 8. Here, in detail, the detergent receiving part 10 is
The receiving case 11 shown in the figure is housed inside the top cover 7 and fixed with screws 12.13. At the same time, a detergent injection case 16 is pivotally mounted to the front opening so as to be rotatable back and forth. As shown in FIG. 4, a notch 17 is formed at the front opening of the receiving case 11 and at the rear edge of the peripheral edge of the laundry opening 8 of the top cover 7 located above the opening. , constitutes an opening 18 of the entire detergent receiving portion 10, and this opening 18 faces the front, which is the side of the tank 5. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the opening 18 is configured to protrude forward from the lid 9 in the open state,
The notch 17 portion of the top cover 7, which is the upper edge of the top cover 7, is formed in a shape that bulges upward.

Note that a water supply valve 19 is communicated with the water supply port 14 of the receiving case 11 of the detergent receiving section 10 .

Now, in the case of the above-described structure, when setting the detergent, with the lid 9 open, insert your hand through the laundry opening 8 and insert the detergent inlet case 16 as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. It is rotated forward to protrude from the receiving case 11, and a detergent (not shown) is put into the protruding detergent injection case 16.

After that, the detergent charging case 16 is rotated rearward and housed in the receiving case 11. Then, detergent injection case 16
The detergent put inside the detergent inlet case 1
6 into the receiving case 11 and stored in the receiving case 11.

When operating in this way, the opening 18 of the detergent receiver 10 where the detergent injection case 16 is located is located in front of the open lid 9, so detergent can be poured in without being obstructed by the lid 9. Being able to operate Case 16,
Inserting detergent into the detergent charging case 16 and transferring the detergent into the receiving case 11 can be done easily and reliably.
Since the upper edge of the detergent 8 has a shape that swells upward, the opening 18 is spread upward, making it easier to pour in the detergent, and preventing parts from spilling. It can be eliminated.

In addition, after operating as described above, when it comes time to supply detergent,
When water is supplied from the water supply valve 19 through the water supply socket 14 and the water sprinkling case 15, the detergent stored in the receiving case 11 is washed away by the water and supplied into the tank 5.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in particular, the detergent receiving portion 10 is not provided with the detergent input case 16 and the detergent can be directly poured from the opening 18. In addition, it may be implemented with appropriate changes within the scope of the gist.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, according to the washing machine of the present invention, the top cover that pivotally supports the lid above the washing tub has an opening toward the washing tub and receives detergent from the opening. The detergent receiver is provided with a detergent receiver, and the detergent receiver is formed so that the opening is located in front of the open lid and the upper edge of the opening swells upward. Therefore, it is possible to easily pour the detergent into the detergent receiving portion without spilling a portion of the detergent, which is an excellent effect.
