Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to laundry. The present invention relates to a washing machine having a rotary tub that also serves as a dehydrator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of washing machine, washing.
A ring-shaped outer tank rim cover formed of synthetic resin at the upper opening edge of the water receiving outer tank that surrounds the outer circumference of the rotating tank that also serves as dehydration.
Is attached. And by this outer tank rim cover,
Cover to prevent laundry from falling between the rotating tub and the water receiving tub
In addition to preventing the deformation of the upper edge opening edge of the water receiving tank,
Guide the introduction of bleach. (For example, Jikkou Sho 59-11
754).

[0003]

When the washing machine becomes large in size with the recent increase in the washing capacity, the size setting of each part is restricted due to the problem of the installation place. Therefore, when a large amount of laundry is added to the volume of the rotary tub, there is a problem that the washing water splashes from the opening of the rotary tub during washing and wets the floor surface.

The present invention has been made in consideration of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to prevent the washing water from splashing from the opening of the rotary tub and to smoothly take the laundry in and out. ..

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] Laundry. A rotating water tank that also serves as dehydration is surrounded by a water receiving tank, an elastically deformable ring-shaped cover is provided at the upper end opening edge of the water receiving tank, and the inner diameter of the cover is used to put clothes in the rotating tank. The solution is to set it smaller than the inner diameter of the mouth.

[0006]

When the laundry is put in and the water supply is started, the water splash generated during washing is prevented by the cover extending inward of the rotary tub. Also, the cover extended to the inside of the rotary tank,
When the laundry is put in and out, it elastically deforms and does not hinder the operation of putting in and out the laundry.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 are a side sectional view and a perspective view of an essential part showing an internal structure of a spin-drying combined washing machine according to a first embodiment of the present invention. A machine frame 2 is a top plate formed of synthetic resin, has an upper lid 3 and an operating portion 4, and is attached by covering the upper end surface of the machine frame 1. 5 is a laundry made of synthetic resin. Rotating tank 6 for both dehydration
Is a water receiving tank that encloses the water from the outside and stores the washing water.
It is hung from the four corners of the upper end surface via a vibration isolator 7. Reference numeral 10 is a stirring blade installed rotatably in the rotary tank 6. Here, the rotary tank 6 and the stirring blade 10 are driven by a drive motor.
11 and the pulley. It is rotated at a proper time by a reduction drive device 12 such as a belt. Reference numeral 8 denotes a ring-shaped outer tank cover fixed to the upper end opening of the water receiving outer tank 5 with a screw or the like. The outer side of the cover 9 is attached to the outer tank cover 8, and the inner diameter B of the opening is set smaller than the opening diameter A of the rotary tank 6. Further, the cover 9 is provided with a plurality of slits 9a for adjusting the degree of freedom of elastic deformation and a plurality of through holes 9b so that water droplets do not remain. Reference numeral 13 is a discharge port of the supply water fixed to the machine frame 1 above the water receiving tank 5, and is installed so that a part of the supply water from the discharge port 13 hits the inner diameter portion of the cover 9. Therefore, the water supplied to the rotary tank 6 is sprinkled over a wide range.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a door rotatably supported on the front side of the machine casing 1 so as to be openable and closable, and has a shaft 15 protruding downward from the lower surface side of the upper plate 2 and a lower portion of the machine casing 1. It is supported by a shaft 17 protruding from the attached metal fitting 16. 1
8 is a pocket-shaped storage shelf provided in the door 14;
Is a service hatch opening on the front side of the machine frame 1,
It is constructed so that the parts in the machine frame 1 can be repaired and inspected from the front.

FIG. 3 is a plan view of the CC cross section of FIG.
Reference numeral 20 is a partition rib projecting vertically inside the door 14, and a lead wire 22 and a wire 23 from the inside of the machine frame 1 which have been wired in the top plate 2 are wired to the operation section 4. A lead wire processing chamber 21 to be processed, a latch 25, and a storage chamber 24 of a latch mechanism for opening and closing the door 14 by a latch spring 26 are defined. 27 is a door
The protective cover 14 is attached so as not to directly touch the inside of the device when the device 14 is released, and is attached to the service hatch 19 with screws or the like.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, the outer tank cover 8 is fixed to the upper opening edge of the water receiving tank 5,
The edge portion of the opening of the water receiving tank can be reinforced. Further, since the cover 9 attached to the opening edge is contacted with the water from the outlet 13 of the supply water, the water can be diffused toward the inner side of the rotary tub 6 to supply the water, and the laundry is dry. You can wet things quickly and sink them quickly, and you can quickly wash them in the wash water. In addition, the water supplied during rinsing with water is diffused and supplied over a wide range, and the foaming state can be eliminated quickly, improving the cleaning performance.

The water splash from the rotary tub 6 that occurs during washing is
It is prevented by the cover 9 extending inward from the opening for putting clothes in the rotating tub 6, the scattering to the inner wall and floor surface of the machine frame 1 is prevented, and the trouble of rust prevention and floor cleaning is eliminated. .. Further, even if the cover 9 is extended inward from the opening of the rotary tub 6, the cover 9 is elastically deformed when the laundry is put in or taken out, and there is no hindrance to the putting in and out operation. When the inner diameter B of the opening of the cover is further reduced depending on the water splashing condition from the rotating tub 6, a plurality of slits 9a can be provided to prevent water splashing without impairing the operability of the laundry. ,
Water drops on the cover can be treated by providing through holes 9b if necessary.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment, and 28 is an outer tub ring cover formed of an elastic member corresponding to the outer tub cover 8 and the cover 9 of FIG. At the upper end opening edge 5a of the water receiving outer tub 5, a curl molding portion 28a of the outer peripheral portion of the outer tub ring cover 28 is mounted.

According to the second embodiment, the assembly is simplified by integrating the parts.

[0015]

In the washing machine for combined use of dehydration of the present invention, the washing water does not splash out of the opening of the rotary tub during washing and wet the floor surface. Further, the cover member attached to the opening edge of the upper end of the water receiving tank is made of an elastically deformable material, which does not affect the operability of the laundry.
