Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a water supply device for a washing machine in which a washing tub and an outer dehydrating tub with an internal dehydrating tub are arranged side by side.

(B) Conventional technology Conventionally, when the amount of water supplied to a washing tub or an outer dehydration tank is too large, a water supply device that guides the excess water to a water pipe and drains it from a warning port is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 54-18972. It is shown in the official gazette.

However, in this device, for example, if the amount of water supplied is too large and the water cannot be discharged from the warning port, the water will leak into an inconvenient place such as the inside of the operating section.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention This invention notifies the user when the amount of water supplied is excessive in the water supply device of the washing machine, and also prevents this excess water from leaking to the outside. It is something to do.

B) Means for Solving the Problems The water supply device for a washing machine of the present invention has a washing tub and an outer dehydrating tank with a dehydrating tank installed in parallel, and a water supply channel to the washing tub and a dehydrating tank to the dehydrating tank are arranged side by side. a water supply box having a water supply channel, the water supply box having a partition wall that partitions the two water supply channels protrudingly provided at a position lower than the upper end of the partition wall of both the water supply channels,
A water conduit that forms an overflow section where excess water overflows when the amount of water supplied through the two water supply channels is too large, and guides the water overflowing from both overflow sections to one warning port opened above the washing tub. Further, an auxiliary overflow part is provided at a position lower than the overflow part and higher than the headrace for guiding water in excess of the processing capacity of the headrace to another waterway.

(e) Effect: When the amount of water supplied to each type is too large, water is released from one warning port opened above the washing tub to notify the user, and if the amount is too large, water is released from the warning port. If the water cannot be drained, the water is directed to another waterway to prevent it from leaking outside.

(F) Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 and 2.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a washing machine frame in which a washing tub 2 and an outer dehydrating tub 3 are arranged side by side, a rotary blade 4 is provided at the bottom of the washing tub 2, and a dehydrating tub 5 is provided inside the outer dehydrating tub 3, respectively. ing.

An overflow chamber 6 with an overflow port (not shown) is formed in one corner of the side wall of the washing tub 2, and the overflow chamber 6 is separated by a partition plate 8 having a large number of water holes 7. It is separated from the inside of washing tub 2.

A control box 9 containing a built-in timer and the like is attached to the rear upper end of the washing tub 2 and outer dehydration tub 3. The outer bottom of this control box 9 receives water discharged from the tip of the water supply pipe 10. A water supply box 11 is attached.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a claw that elastically engages with an engagement hole (not shown) provided on the bottom surface of the control box 9.

A water supply hose (not shown) connected to a water faucet is connected to the upper end of the water supply pipe 10.

The water supply box 11 includes a water supply channel 14 for supplying water from the water supply pipe 10 to the washing tub 2 through a water supply port 13.
and a water supply channel 15 for supplying the water to the dehydration tank 5 from above, and the tip of the water supply pipe 10 is connected to the water supply channel 1 as shown in the figure.
4, water is supplied to the washing tub 2, and when the water supply pipe 10 is rotated in the direction of arrow A and its tip is directed toward the water supply channel 15, water is supplied to the dehydration tank 5, and water is supplied while rotating the dehydration tank. This allows for rinsing in the dehydration tank.

Both water supply channels 14,15 are separated by a partition wall 16.

In addition, an overflow part 11.18 is provided in both water supply channels 14.15 at a position lower than the upper end of the partition wall 16, and both water supply channels 14.1
If the amount of water supplied through 5 is too large, these overflow areas 17.1
Excess water overflows from 8 into a circular water collection chamber 19, and this water collection chamber 19 is communicated with a water conduit 21 having a warning port 20 opening toward the washing tub 2 at its tip.

Said water supply channel 14, 15, water collection chamber 19 and water conduit 21
constitutes the water supply box 11 in one piece.

In such a configuration, when water is being supplied from the water supply port 13 to the washing tub 2 with the tip of the water supply pipe 10 facing the water supply channel 14, if the amount of water supplied is too large, water will flow from the water supply channel 14 to the partition wall 1.
6 and attempts to enter the water supply channel 15 to the dewatering tank, but before it can overcome the partition wall 16, the water overflows from the overflowing section 17 into the water collection chamber 19, and this water passes through the water conduit 21 and enters the warning port 20. The water is now discharged towards the washing tub 2.

Therefore, if the amount of water supplied is too large, water will come out from the warning port 20, which is separate from the water supply port 13, so that the user will immediately know that fact, and water will not enter the water supply channel 15 of the dehydration tank. Therefore, water is not supplied to the dehydration tank 5, and even if the dehydrated clothes are in the dehydration tank 5, the clothes will not get wet.

Also, rotate the water supply pipe 10 in the direction of arrow (4) to remove water from the dewatering tank 5.
Even when water is being supplied to the tank, if the amount of water supplied is too large, water overflows from the overflowing portion 18 into the water collection chamber 19, passes through the water conduit 21, and is discharged from the warning port 20.

Therefore, normally, when water is being supplied to the dehydration tank 5, the top cover (not shown) is closed during dehydration operation and the water supply from the water supply channel 15 is not visible. You can tell if the amount of water being supplied is too high.

Furthermore, if the amount of water supplied from the water supply pipe 10 to the washing tub 2 is too large to be discharged from the warning port 20, an auxiliary overflow section 2 is installed in the water collection chamber 19 at a position lower than the overflow section 1B.
2 (corresponding to other waterways in the present invention) is provided to allow water to escape from this auxiliary overflow part 22 to the overflow chamber 6 to prevent water from entering the water supply channel 15 to the dewatering tank. ing.

Incidentally, if the water conduit 21 is integrally molded into the water supply box 11 as in the embodiment, the structure can be simplified without increasing the number of parts.

(g) Effects of the invention As described above, according to the invention, water can be supplied to the washing tub and the dehydration tub, and if the amount of water supplied to the washing tub is too large, a warning port is opened above the washing tub. It is possible to release more excess water and notify the user to that effect, and on the other hand, even when the amount of water supplied to the dehydration tank is too large, water can be released from the same warning port and a notification to that effect, A single warning port can indicate when too much water is being supplied, making it easy for the user to understand.

In addition, an auxiliary overflow part has been installed, so even if the amount of water supplied is too large to be discharged from the warning port, this water will not leak into the control box etc. This provides various effects such as no water entering the water supply channel to the water tank, no water being supplied to the dehydration tank, and no risk of getting the dehydrated clothes in the dehydration tank wet.
