Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lint filter device for washing machines used in general households for collecting waste lint.

Conventional Structure and Problems Conventional lint filter devices for washing machines of this type have a problem of poor lint collection because they only have a plurality of small holes in the cylindrical wall surface.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a lint filter device for a washing machine that provides improved lint collection.

Structure of the Invention The lint filter device for a washing machine of the present invention includes a stirring blade consisting of a base part that spreads downward in a trumpet shape and a cylindrical body part standing upright from the center of the base part, and a filter main body. The filter body is formed of a pair of semi-cylindrical members, the wall surface has a plurality of protrusions facing outward, and a wall is formed with holes in the middle and bottom parts, and the body part has a plurality of projections facing outward. A removable V-shaped filter is inserted into the filter, and the protrusions on the filter body increase the effectiveness of collecting lint.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIG. 1, 1 is a dehydration tank, 2 is a stirring blade, which includes a stirring blade body portion 2a, a stirring blade portion 2b, and a stirring blade base portion 20.
It consists of a circulation blade 2d. 3 is a filter body inserted into the stirring blade body 2a.

The filter main body 3 is as shown in FIG. 2, and consists of a pair of semi-cylindrical members of the same shape, and a plurality of protrusions 3b for removing lint extend outward from the cylindrical wall surface 3a. , both end portions 3C of the cylindrical wall surface have a convex portion on one side and four steps on the other side, so that the pair of semi-cylindrical members can be fitted securely. In addition, there is a wall 3d in the middle and bottom,
3B, and holes 3f and 3g are provided in walls 3d and 3e, respectively. The hole 3g is located at the center of the cylinder, and the periphery of the hole 3g projects upward. Further, the holes 3f are placed at several locations offset from the center of the cylinder. Furthermore, a rinse case 4 is attached to the top of the filter body 3.

The rinse case 4 (attached to the filter body 3) is a device for putting in the softener, as shown in Figure 3.If the rinse case 4 is placed in the central storage part 4aK, it rotates during dehydration and is absorbed by the centrifugal force. The water flows down the upwardly expanding wall surface 4b to one side, and when the dehydration is completed, the surrounding storage section 4
C, and falls into the filter body 3 through the hole 4d at the bottom.

To explain the operation in the above configuration, when the stirring blade 2 performs a stirring operation, water is pushed out in the radial direction by the circulation blade 2d, water flows into the filter body 3 from the suction hole 2e, and water flows from the outlet hole 2f. Get out and let the water cycle happen. Due to this circulation, when the lint passes through the filter body 3 together with water, the lint gets caught in the protrusion 3b and is removed. Note that the tips Δ111 of the protrusions 3b are curved to facilitate cleaning when removing the filter body 3 and cleaning the lint, and to prevent injury to hands. In addition, the softener that comes out of the rinse case 4 after dehydration flows down through the first hole 3f, and then directly flows through the outlet hole 2.
It can be stored at the bottom 3e of the filter body 3 so that it does not leak out from the filter body 3. With this configuration, during the rinsing stage, when the water level increases, water flows in through the holes 3g, the softener is sufficiently diluted with water, becomes an aqueous solution, and spreads evenly within the dehydration tank.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the filter body is composed of a pair of semi-cylindrical members, and by providing protrusions on the wall surface, the lint collection effect is enhanced and the collected lint can be easily cleaned. Can be done.
