Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a water supply device for a washing machine. Specifically, the present invention is a water supply device that is constructed by disposing an electromagnetic water supply valve, a water supply pipe, etc. in a panel part that houses electrical components such as control mechanism parts. The purpose of this improvement is to prevent water from entering the electrical components and to prevent insulation defects.

Figure 1 shows the configuration of a conventional single-tank centrifugal dewatering washing machine equipped with an electromagnetic water supply valve and a water supply pipe, where 1 is the main body of the single-tank centrifugal dehydrator, and 2 is a dewatering receiver installed in the main body 1. , 3 is a washing tub/dehydration tank rotatably arranged inside the dehydration receiver 2, with a pulsator 4 installed in the center of the bottom and a large number of dehydration holes 5 on the side.
have.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a motor, and the power of the motor 6 is transmitted to the pulsator 4 or the washing tub/dehydration tub 3 via the belt 7 and clutch mechanism 8 to rotate them.

Reference numeral 9 houses various electrical components such as an automatic timer device for washing and dehydrating, and also includes an electromagnetic water supply valve 10 and a water supply pipe 11 for guiding water supply to automatically supply washing water into the washing tub. It is a panel housing that is attached, and a water supply port 12 connected to the end of a pipe 11 is provided at the bottom.

The front surface is covered with a top mark 13.

FIG. 2 shows the connection state of the conventional water supply pipe 11 and the electromagnetic water supply valve 10. A water supply hose 14 led from a water faucet is attached to the inlet side of the electromagnetic water supply valve 10 attached to the panel housing 9. , a water supply pipe 11 is connected to the outlet side,
A water supply port 12 is attached to the other end of the pipe 11.

The electrical components 15 attached to the top mark 13 are housed together with the electromagnetic water supply valve 10 in the panel housing 9, and each is time-controlled by an automatic timer to automatically perform a series of processes such as washing, dehydration, water supply, and drainage. I do.

Figure 3 shows an electromagnetic water supply valve 10 arranged inside a conventional panel housing 9.
and shows the water supply pipe 11 viewed from above.

According to the conventional water supply device described above, the water supply pipe 11 is
The electromagnetic water supply valve 10 and the water supply port 12 are made of resin or the like, and remain individually attached to the electromagnetic water supply valve 10 and the water supply port 12 with adhesive or the like, and if the water supply pipe 11 ruptures or has poor adhesion, the supplied water may leak to the panel housing 9. This causes inconveniences such as scattering within the interior of the panel, causing poor insulation of the electrical components 15, rusting of members within the panel housing 9, and even causing malfunctions.

Furthermore, the water that has spread inside the panel housing 9 falls directly onto the floor through the holes in the bottom of the panel, thereby wetting the floor.

Because water supply pressure is applied to these water supplies,
- If a hole occurs in the pipe at any point, water will spill out from there in all directions, and a defective hole during molding of the water supply pipe 11 will have a great negative impact on other parts in the panel, especially electrical components. It was something.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and embodiments thereof will be described below.

In FIGS. 4 to 8, the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 1 to 3 indicate the same members, and their explanations will be omitted.

FIG. 4 shows the structure inside the panel housing 9. Reference numerals 16 and 16 denote panel walls formed integrally with the panel housing 9 or as separate members, and having a housing section inside and extending upward. ing.

The housing portion accommodates at least the water supply pipe 11, and if necessary, the electromagnetic water supply valve 10 as well.

In FIG. 5, the electromagnetic water supply valve 10 is attached to the upper end of the panel wall 16.16, and the upper open end of the panel wall 16.16 is closed by the electromagnetic water supply valve 10.

A top mark wall 17.17 is provided on the inner surface of the top mark 13 that covers the panel housing 9, and is in contact with the panel wall 16.16 inside the panel housing 9. Mark walls 17.17 are adjacent and each form a panel room in which a water supply device, mainly a water supply pipe 11, is installed.

FIG. 8 shows a panel wall 16.1 protruding from the panel housing 9.
Top mark wall 17 protruding from top mark 13 at 6
．． Panel chamber 18 formed by combining 17
An electromagnetic water supply valve 10 is arranged above, and inside this panel chamber 18,
A water supply pipe 11 is installed.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a gap formed between the water supply port 12 and the opening of the panel housing 9, through which water that should blow out in the panel chamber 18 is introduced into the dehydration tank.

According to the configuration of this embodiment described above, the panel wall 16.16
By combining the top mark wall 17.17 and the top mark wall 17.17 and providing the panel chamber 18, even if the water supply spews out due to a poor connection, rupture, or hole in the water supply pipe 11, the panel wall 16.16 and the top mark wall 17. 17, etc., and naturally falls into the dehydration tank through the gap 19.

Therefore, the water stays only within the panel chamber 18 without scattering to other parts of the panel housing 9 than the panel chamber 18.

Therefore, the electrical components and other components inside the panel housing 9 are not exposed to water, are safe and do not have electrical leakage, and can also be prevented from rusting on the components.

Furthermore, since the water naturally falls through the gap 19 and enters the dehydration tank, it does not wet the floor, etc., making it easy to use.

As described above, according to the present invention, even if water leaks from a water supply device such as a water supply hose inside the panel housing, water will not come into contact with other electrical components, and accidents such as electric shock will not occur. Further, there are effects such as no generation of rust.
