Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a washing machine, and is capable of introducing bleaching agents, soft finishing agents, etc. into a washing tub at a uniform concentration.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, 1 is the main body of the washing machine, 2 is a washing tub installed in the main body 1, and a panel stand 3 and a display board 4 are attached to the upper rear part of the washing tub 2.

5 is a pulsator rotatably installed at the inner bottom of the washing tub 2 via a metal case 6.

This pulsator 5 is powered by the motor 7! J
-8. Belt 9. It is transmitted via the impeller pulley 10.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a bleaching agent provided on a part of the display board 4.

This is an input section for soft finishing agents, etc., and an input port 12 is provided at the bottom.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a pocket portion located below the input port 12 and provided on the side wall of the washing tub 2.

A partition plate 14 is detachably attached to the front opening of the pocket portion 13.

15 is a water inlet hole provided in a part of the partition plate 14; 16 is a shutter plate for opening and closing the water inlet hole 15; one end of this shutter plate 16 is rotatably attached to the back surface of the partition plate 14.

17 is a water passage provided at the bottom of the pocket portion 13.
Reference numeral 18 denotes a slide rod having a valve body 19 for opening and closing the water inlet 17 at the lower end and a float 20 at the upper end. It is held so that it can slide up and down.

22 is a drain provided at the bottom of the washing tub 2. 23 is a drain hose connected to the drain port 22, and 24 is a drain hose 23.
The end of this water hose 24 is connected to the water port 17.

25 is in the middle of the drainage hose 23 and the water supply hose 2
A drain cock 26 is installed at the boundary between the drain hose 23 and the water hose 24, and the water drained from the washing tub 2 flows into the water hose 24. This prevents it from entering.

To explain the operation of the above configuration, first, bleach is introduced from the input section 11 as shown by the solid arrow.

Then, this bleach is supplied to the pocket section 13 through the inlet 12.
It collects at the bottom of the.

When water is supplied into the washing tub 2 in this state and the laundry to be washed 27 is agitated by the pulsator 5, a portion of the water in the washing tub 2 flows into the pocket from the water inlet hole 15 of the partition plate 14 as shown by the dotted arrow. Enter section 13.

The bleach is accumulated at the bottom of the pocket part 13 by the condenser 1, and the bleach is mixed with water to uniformly dilute the concentration.

The water level of the water that has entered the pocket portion 13 is the same as that of the float 2.
When the value exceeds 0, the float 20 floats up due to buoyancy and slides the valve body 19 upward.

This slide opens the water inlet 17, and the uniformly diluted bleach is passed through the water inlet 17 and the water hose 24. It is discharged into the washing tub 2 from the drain port 22 via the drain hose 23.

This ejection movement is repeated while the pulsator 5 is rotating.

In addition, in the above embodiment, adding bleach (I mentioned the roughness), but in the case of soft finishing agent, the same operation as in the above embodiment is carried out, and the concentration is uniformly diluted before being added to the washing tub. It can be released within 2 hours.

In this case, the softener is used at the end of the rinse.

Furthermore, the ITi partition plate 14 is detachably attached to the washing tub 2, and a holding member 21 is formed on the partition plate 14 to slidably hold the slide rod 18. Installation inside the section 13 is also possible using the partition plate 14.
can be carried out at the same time as being attached to the washing tub 2, and therefore the assembly work can be simplified.

As is clear from the above examples, according to the present invention.

After uniformly diluting the concentration of bleach, soft finishing agent, etc.

Because it can be automatically put into the washing tub.

This eliminates the problem of bleach, etc. directly splashing onto the laundry, which is the case with products in which bleach, etc. is directly poured into the washing tub, and as a result, it is possible to provide a simple structure with consistent bleaching action on the laundry. It has the excellent feature of being able to
