A body laundry loading lid 7 is provided on the upper part of the washing machine body 4 so as to be openable and closable, an aquarium laundry loading lid 8 is provided on the upper part of the aquarium 1 so as to be openable and closable, and a drum laundry loading lid 9 is provided on the drum 2 so as to be openable and closable. ing. The pump device 10 is connected to the water tub 1 by a drain hose 11, and drains the wash water in the water tub 1 to the outside of the washing machine body 4 through the discharge hose 12. The water supply valve 13 supplies the washing water to the aquarium 1, and the heater 14 heats the washing water in the aquarium 1.

A baffle 1 having a substantially mountain shape on the inner peripheral surface of the drum 2.
As shown in FIG. 3, at least a lint recovery baffle 16 provided with an opening 16a for taking in washing water into one or both slopes and a filter 16b on the top is provided as shown in FIG. One is removable.

The operation of the above structure will be described. The main body laundry loading lid 7, the aquarium laundry loading lid 8 and the drum laundry loading lid 9 are sequentially opened to load the laundry into the drum 2 and then the drum laundry. The loading lid 9, the aquarium laundry loading lid 8 and the main body laundry loading lid 7 are closed and washing is started. First, the aquarium 1
A predetermined amount of water is supplied from the water supply valve 13, and the heater 14 is energized until it reaches a predetermined temperature. At this time, the drum 2 is driven to rotate at a low speed by the motor 6, and the laundry in the drum 2 is lifted and dropped by the baffle 15 and the lint recovery baffle 16 to apply a mechanical force to wash.

After the washing is completed, the washing water is passed through the drain hose 11 and the discharge hose 12 by the pump device 10 to the washing machine main body 4
Discharge to the outside and finish the washing process. The rinsing process is performed in the same manner as the washing process. However, the heater 14 is not energized. In the dehydration process, the drum 2 is driven to rotate at high speed by the motor 6 to centrifugally dehydrate the laundry. At this time, the vibration of the water tank 1 is attenuated by the buffer body 5.

[0007] During the washing process and the rinsing process, lint is generated from the laundry, and this lint is contained in the wash water. When the drum 2 is rotationally driven by the motor 6, when the lint recovery baffle 16 having the opening 16a and the filter 16b is located below, the opening 16a
More washing water is taken into the lint recovery baffle 16.

Further, when the drum 2 rotates, the lint recovery baffle 16 moves upward, and the lint recovery baffle 1
The wash water taken in 6 is returned to the drum 2 through the filter portion 16b. At this time, the lint contained in the wash water is removed and collected by the filter portion 16b. After the entire process is completed, the removed and collected lint is cleaned by removing the lint recovery baffle 16 that is freely installed.

[0009]

In such a conventional drum type washing machine, the lint recovery baffle 16 collects lint generated from clothes during the washing process and the rinsing process.
After the whole process is completed, it is necessary to remove the lint recovery baffle 16 to clean the lint, and at this time, the lint must be bent to clean the lint, which is a problem that the cleaning is very difficult to do.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object thereof is to remove a baffle having a lint recovery function with a simple structure to facilitate the work of cleaning the lint.

[0011]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a water tub for storing washing water, which is disposed in a main body of a washing machine, and rotatably supported inside the water tub about a horizontal axis. An object is to provide a baffle having a lint recovery function detachably provided on the inner surface of a drum laundry loading lid provided on the drum for opening and closing the laundry for draining and washing.

[0012]

According to the present invention, since the baffle having the lint recovery function is detachably attached to the inner surface of the drum laundry loading lid by the above-mentioned means for solving the problems, the drum laundry is washed when the laundry is taken out after the whole process. When the laundry loading lid is opened, the baffle having the lint recovery function comes out above the drum together with the drum laundry loading lid. Therefore, it is possible to remove the baffle having the lint collecting function and clean the lint in a comfortable posture without bending over.
