Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a detergent supply device for a washing machine that supplies detergent into a washing tub using water flowing into the washing tub.

This type of detergent supply device has conventionally provided a detergent supply device at the spout of a waterway, such as a water supply channel that leads tap water to the washing tub of a washing machine, or a pumping channel that takes water from the washing tub to the top and returns it again. With this structure, the detergent stored in the detergent supply device in advance is caused to flow out from the water channel by water passing through the detergent supply device and supplied into the washing tub.

However, with this conventional method, the water from the waterway flows into the container and then flows out, causing the detergent to be supplied to the washing tub without being dissolved in the water, which causes stains during subsequent washing. There was a problem in that the degree of removal, that is, the washing effect, was also reduced.

There is also the problem that the folded detergent remains in the corners of the detergent dispenser, and these problems are particularly noticeable when the detergent is in a powder layer, and a solution to this problem has been awaited.

Additionally, if the washing machine is a fully automatic type, there are problems in which the washing ends without removing the dirt, or the detergent remaining in the washing machine is supplied even when rinsing is intended to remove the detergent. exhibits.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a detergent for washing machines that can sufficiently dissolve the detergent stored in the detergent dispenser and supply it to the washing tub without leaving any residue in the detergent dispenser. To provide feeding equipment.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, in Fig. 1, 1 is an outer box, 2 is a water tank, 3 is a rotating tank that serves as a dehydration tank and a washing tank, 4 is a pulsator, and 5 is a motor 6.
This is a drive device that transmits rotational force to the rotating tank 3 and the pulsator 4.

Next, in FIG. 2, 7 is a blade formed on the back surface of the pulsator 4, and 8 is a pumping channel formed to extend from the side of the recess 3a on the back side of the pulsator 4 to the lower surface of the balance ring 9 at the upper end of the rotating tank 3. The water at the bottom of the rotating tank 3 is raised to the upper part by these blades 7 and the pumping channel 8, and then returned into the rotating tank 3 through the water spout 8a of the pumping channel 8.

Reference numeral 10 indicates a receiving body 12 disposed at the spout 8a portion of the pumping channel 8.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the detergent supply device 10 is removably installed together with the lint catcher 11. The detergent supply device 10 is shaped like a rectangular box with an open top surface, and has a front and a rear surface. Detergent outflow holes 10a and 10a are formed on the sides, respectively, and the holes 10a
, 10a are fitted with fine filters 13, 13, respectively.

Further, there are pivot holes 14, 14 on the left and right sides of the detergent supply device 10.
Further, fitting protrusions 15 are formed on the outer surfaces of the left and right sides.
, 15.

On the other hand, the lint catcher 11 has a rectangular box shape with an open top, and has water holes 16 at the front and bottom.
17, and furthermore, there are mounting tables 18,
18, and fitting protrusions 19, 1 are formed on the outer surfaces of the left and right sides.
9 is formed.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a filter formed from a net, which is mounted on the mounting table 18, 18 in the lint catcher 11.

Now, 21 is a stirring blade having a cross-shaped cross section, and its shaft portion 2
1a.

21a into the shaft support holes 14, 14 of the detergent supply device 10,
Thus, the stirring blade 21 is rotatably disposed within the detergent supply device 10.

The receiver body 12 is removably engaged with the fitting protrusion 15 of the detergent supply device 10 and the fitting protrusion 19 of the lint catcher 11 on the left and right sides thereof. and engaging recesses 22, 22 for holding the lint catcher 11 are formed, and ribs 23, 23 are formed at the bottom.

Now, in the above configuration, when a washing operation is performed after storing detergent, for example, powdered soap (not shown) in the detergent supply device 10, the pulsator 4 and hence the blades 7 rotate, so that the bottom of the rotating tub 3 is heated as described above. Water passes through the pumping channel 8 and the water outlet 8
a, and this water passes through the filter 20 in the lift catcher 11 and flows through the water flow hole 17 at the bottom to the detergent supply device 1.
Flows into 0.

In this detergent supply device 10, the stirring blade 21 is rotated while receiving the mature tree, and as a result, the water flowing here flows into the stirring blade 21.
is mixed with the detergent.

Therefore, the detergent stored inside the detergent supply device 10 dissolves quickly and reliably in this water, and then flows out from the detergent outlet hole 10a and into the rotating tank 3 together with the mature tree.

Further, due to the above-mentioned stirring, detergent does not remain in the container 10.

In the above embodiments, the present invention was explained as being applied to a pumping channel, but the present invention can also be applied to a water supply channel etc. that causes tap water to flow into a washing tank. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, but can be implemented with various modifications without departing from the spirit of the invention.

As is clear from the above description, the present invention provides a washing machine that has a water channel that allows water to flow into the washing tub, and a detergent supply device that allows the water in the water channel to pass through the interior and causes the detergent to flow out together with the mature wood. The detergent dispenser is characterized by a stirring blade that rotates while receiving the mature tree, which allows the detergent in the detergent dispenser to be quickly dissolved even if it is powdered soap. Moreover, the detergent can be supplied to the washing tub without leaving it in the detergent supply device, and as a result, it is possible to prevent residual detergent from being supplied during rinsing, and it is also possible to prevent the washing effect from not improving. Therefore, it is possible to provide a detergent supply device for a washing machine that exhibits the following effects.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]
