Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a water supply guide device for a washing machine that allows the required water supply amount to be visually confirmed.

In the conventional example, as shown in FIG. 3, a panel face 1 has a water supply pipe 2, and a lower part thereof is a discharge port 3 into a washing tub 7.

In this figure, water is supplied to the washing tub 7 from below, but there are other methods such as water injection from above.

In the tub of the washing tub 7, a water storage section 13 is constructed, which is composed of a tub body 7-1, a front plate, three side plates consisting of both side plates, and a bottom plate.
The interior of the washing tub 7 is separated by a three-sided side plate 11, and an opening 12 is provided at the bottom, and water from the discharge port 3 is injected into the water storage section 13 through the water supply hole 4-1 on the bottom of the panel 4. However, the amount of water supplied into the washing tub 7 can only be determined by the opening 12 at the bottom.

If the amount of water supplied during rinsing is too large, the water that has been supplied is likely to be discharged outside the machine without being agitated, resulting in wasted water, which is a problem in terms of saving water.On the other hand, if the amount of water supplied is too little, it will cause problems during rinsing. This takes a long time, damages the fabric, and wastes electricity.

In that sense, the optimal water supply amount is approximately 101'/min to 201/min.
minutes.

However, conventional water supply methods have the disadvantage that the amount of water supplied is difficult to judge visually and relies on the individual's own intuition.

The purpose of this invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional method and to provide a water supply indicator device for washing machines that allows water to flow out from the indicator hole when the amount of water is within a predetermined range, and which can be checked visually without relying on feeling. do.

The present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

shows.

In the figure, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 3 indicate the same parts.

5 is a vertical guide plate connected to the water supply hole 4-1 provided at the upper part of the three-sided side plate 11; 8 is an inclined portion provided on the front plate continuous with the guide plate 5; and 14 is provided on the guide plate 5. Guide hole,
14-1 is a guide pipe provided in the guide hole 14 perpendicularly to the guide plate 5, and 15 is a guide pipe 5 provided vertically downward in contact with the water supply hole 4-.
and a partition plate provided between the washing tub 7 and the washing tub 7.

The inclined part 18 is provided so that its tip is on an extension of the partition plate 15 directly below the water supply hole 4-1, and a gap is provided between the tip 8-1 of the inclined part 8 and the tip 15-1 of the partition plate 15.

In addition, an outlet 15- is located above the upper reference hole 14 of the partition plate 15.
2 will be provided.

In the water supply guide device of the present invention, the method of supplying water from the panel face 1 is such that the washing tub 7 is housed in the main body 10, and a water storage portion 13 is partially formed on the peripheral wall. The three side plates communicate only through the lower opening 12 of the front plate, and the above structure is the same as the conventional one.

Next, the operation of the water supply indicator device of the present invention will be explained.

A large number of ribs 9 are formed on the sloped part 8 directly below the discharge port 3 of the present invention, and the water from the discharge port 3 hits the ribs 9 and the force of the water is dispersed, and further flows down along the slope part 8. It flows in using the gap as an inlet.

The position of the guide hole 14 and the guide pipe 14-1 is provided above the height of the position of the inlet gap for the washing tub, and furthermore, the water guide plate 6 to the guide hole 14 is provided only above the guide hole 14 on the inner side. .

When water is supplied, the predetermined water supply amount is 101/min to 201/min.
The outflow opening P of the gap is adjusted so that water hits the water guiding plate 6 and flows out from the reference hole 14 at the minute of the hour.

Water hits the slope 8 and flows into the water storage part 13 from the outflow opening P in the gap, and some water rises to the top and overflows, and the water rising to the top is captured by the water guide plate 6 as a guide. It is guided to the hole 14 and flows out from the guide pipe 14-1.

If there is a flow of water from both the reference hole 14 and the outlet 15-2, this indicates that the amount of water supplied is too large;
If there is no flow of water from both the outlet ports 15-2, it can be seen that the amount of water supplied is too small.

There is a flow of water from the guide hole 14, and the outflow port 15-
If there is no value from 2, it means that an appropriate amount of water is being supplied.

By looking at this flowing water, you can determine the appropriate amount of water to supply.
You can also adjust the water.

This allows effective water supply during rinsing.

When the amount of water increases and flows out to the outlet 15-2 of the partition plate 15, it can be used as a rough guideline by assuming that the amount of water exceeds 201/min.

The purpose of the present invention is to let the user know that the amount of water supplied to the washing machine for rinsing is at an optimum level, so that water and power can be saved more effectively during rinsing.

It can be seen that the optimum water supply amount is obtained by simply adjusting the water supply amount so that the water flows out from the guide hole.

Further, according to the water supply indicator device of the present invention, it is only necessary to provide a hole that faces the inside of the washing tub in the indicator plate of the three-sided side plate provided in the water receiving portion, making it possible to achieve a very low cost.

Furthermore, even if the supplied water rebounds on the slope part 8 and tries to overflow upward, it will hit the upper part of the water supply guide hole 14 protruding inward of the water receiving part, pass through the guide hole 14, and flow into the washing tub 7. The water flows out and plays the role of letting you know that there is a large amount of water to be supplied, and adjusts the water supply. It does not rise and enters the inside of the panel and gets on electrical components, causing insulation failure, or it does not overflow outside the washing tub and flow out of the machine and wet the floor.

The present invention utilizes the flow of water that is supplied to this water receiver and is about to overflow to the top, making it possible to visually determine whether there is a large amount of water being supplied, and it has a simple structure. Moreover, the appropriate amount of water supply can be easily adjusted.

If you gradually increase the amount of water supplied from the tap, etc., the water will not overflow from the outlet, but will flow out from the guide hole, indicating that the amount is appropriate.

Furthermore, if water starts to flow out from the outflow port, it indicates that the amount of water supplied is too large, so the water supply amount near the amount of water flowing only from the guide hole is the most efficient water supply during rinsing. Therefore, simply by making the upper part of the reference hole facing the water supply portion protrude inward from the lower part of the reference hole, it can easily serve as a rinsing reference hole to indicate the optimum water supply amount.
