Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a so-called system laundry in which a washer and a dryer are installed integrally with a wastewater treatment device of a washing machine with a dryer. The present invention relates to a waste water treatment device for a washing machine with a dryer, which is intended to treat waste water from a dryer installed therein.

Recently, (1) expansion of the installation location of the washing machine (from a laundry area such as the back room to the living room or utility room), (
2) There are market needs such as increasing demand for washing machines with dryers (there is a growing demand for the ability to freely perform household chores such as washing and drying without being restricted by weather or time).

Regarding this type of washing machine with dryer, (1
) A clean appearance (comfortable interior matching = Furnicia feeling), and (2) improved ease of installation (installability is extremely difficult, especially since it is a large product). be.

The present invention was first made to meet such demands.

In addition, conventional home laundries combine three separate washing machines, stands, and dryers, which is not desirable in terms of appearance or installation.

Therefore, a home laundry machine with a dryer and washing machine as shown in the partial perspective rear view of FIG. 1 was developed, and improvements were made to some extent in terms of appearance and ease of installation.

That is, it consists of a washing machine 1 having a lid part 2, a mounting table 8 placed on the top surface of the main body of this washing machine 1, and a dryer j arranged on this mounting table 8.

However, in such a system laundry, there is a problem in the drainage treatment of condensed water from the dryer 3.

That is, the method of assembling the dryer 3 of the conventional system laundry to the washer 1 is as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5.

Here, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the lower part of the dryer shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the drain pipe connection, and FIG.
The figure is a perspective view of the same flow comb device, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the dryer assembled.

First, as shown in Fig. 2, remove the legs 4 attached to the lower part of the dryer 3, and connect the drain pipe 7 with the L-shaped pipe 6 to the drain port 5 for condensed water etc. as shown in Fig. 3. It is inserted in the direction of the arrow, and then the upper plate 9 of the mounting table 8 provided at the top of the washing machine 1 is removed as shown in FIG.

In this state, the dryer 3 is placed on the washing machine 1, being careful not to dislodge or crush the drain pipe 7, which is several meters long, and the dryer 3 is placed on the washing machine 1 as shown in Fig. 5. 3 is fixed with a screw 1o.

Then, the drain pipe 7 and the drain hose 11 of the washing machine 1.
A T-tube 12 is used to connect the two, and FIG. 1 shows the state after installation.

Since the conventional system laundry is constructed as described above, the drain pipe 7, drain pipe take-out hole 13, etc. are exposed on the back side, as shown in FIG. 1, and the appearance is extremely undesirable.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, the installation was time-consuming.

Furthermore, when the dryer 3, which is large and heavy, is placed, there is a risk that the drain pipe 7 may be crushed, and it may also come off the drain port 5, and if it comes off, it should be placed at the bottom. Drainage water flows into electrical components (not shown) installed on the back side of the panel 14 of the washing machine 1.
In terms of safety, this also had drawbacks such as being extremely undesirable.

The present invention satisfies the above-mentioned requirements and eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.The present invention has a simple structure, improves the external design, ease of installation, and safety, and also achieves cost reduction. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a wastewater treatment device for a washer with a dryer that can meet the aforementioned needs such as expanding the installation space and increasing demand for system laundry, thereby improving the product value.

The present invention is characterized by comprising a washing machine main body, a mounting stand disposed on the upper surface of the washing machine main body, and a dryer main body disposed on the mounting stand. In a washing machine with a dryer equipped with a lower cover and an upper cover, drainage such as condensed water from the dryer is received by a gutter-like part provided on the upper cover, and a part of the gutter-like part This wastewater treatment device for a washing machine with a dryer is configured so that wastewater can be passed from a drainage part provided in the bottom cover to a drainage part provided in the lower cover and treated inside the washing machine main body.

In detail, as described in the section on the prior art, the drain pipe 7 with the L-shaped pipe 6 used during installation was stopped, and ``therefore, the structure was such that the drain pipe 7 and its extraction hole 13 did not appear on the back side. It is something.

Next, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 6 to 9.

Here, FIG. 6 is a partial perspective rear view of a washing machine with dryer equipped with an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is an enlarged exploded perspective view of the mounting table thereof, and FIG. FIG. 9 is an enlarged perspective view of the main part thereof, and FIG. 9 is an enlarged sectional view of the main part of the wastewater treatment apparatus according to one embodiment.

In the figures, parts with the same symbols as those in the preceding figures 1 to 5 indicate equivalent parts, IA is a washing machine, 8A is a mounting table,
9A is the upper plate, 15.16 is the left and right side plates made of steel plate, 1
5a and 16a are rear surfaces, 15b and 16b are upper surfaces, 17 is a screw, 18 is a back plate made of steel plate, 19 is a screw, 20 is a beam, 21 is a screw, and 22.23 is a screw. ,
The lower cover and upper cover are made of synthetic resin.

Further, 24 is a gutter-like recess related to the gutter-like portion, 25 is a drain hole forming a tubular body related to the water draining portion, 26 is a clothing input port, 27 is a fulcrum portion, 28 is a lid, Reference numeral 29 indicates a drain hole forming a tubular body related to the drain section, 30 indicates a drain pipe, and 31 indicates the lower end thereof.

That is, the washing machine IA is provided with a mounting table 8A for the dryer 3 on its upper part.
