Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Generally, a dehydrator has a switch operation section installed at the upper rear of the dehydrator main body, and the dehydration lid is opened and closed in the front and back direction of the dehydrator main body using the switch operation section as a fulcrum. The opening angle of the dehydrating lid is determined by the following reasons: The larger the opening angle, the further the dehydrating lid is from the front of the dehydrating machine, making it difficult to operate, and the fact that the switch operation part is located at the back of the dehydrating machine. The opening angle is 90 degrees, where the dehydration lid rotates to the switch operation part and stops. Also, the dehydrator is used side by side on either the left or right side of the washing machine, but when transferring the laundry in the washing tub to the dehydration basket with the dehydration lid open 90 degrees, the A large amount of detergent solution drips down. In this case, conventional dehydrators do not have a structure to catch the detergent liquid that drips down, so the detergent liquid or detergent foam may fall onto the top of the washing machine or dehydrator, or the washing machine and dehydrator may There were problems such as the product falling through the gap between the floor and the floor and getting wet.

Also, the dehydration lid is held open 90 degrees by a spring, etc., but the spring force is not very strong considering the operability of the dehydration lid. If the dehydrating lid hits the side of the dehydrating lid, the dehydrating lid easily closes, making it inconvenient to use.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and one embodiment thereof will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a dehydrator main body, and a dehydrating tank 2 is installed inside this main body 1, and the upper edge of this dehydrating tank 2 is
It is placed and held at the upper end of the . Reference numeral 3 denotes a motor supported in a vibration-proof manner through a suspension 4 inside the main body 1, and this motor 3 rotates a dehydration basket 5 rotatably installed in the dehydration tank 2. 6
Numeral dehydration holes are provided on the peripheral wall of the dehydration basket 5, and 7 is a switch operation unit installed at the rear of the upper part of the main body 1.
It incorporates electrical components such as a time switch.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a clothes input port 9 installed in the upper step 2a of the dehydration tank 2 and facing the upper end opening of the dehydration basket 5.
A dehydration receiving cover 8 is provided in the center of the dehydration receiving cover 8, and a dehydration inner lid 10 is installed on the dehydration receiving cover 8, which opens and closes in the front and back direction of the dehydrator main body 1 with the switch operation part 7 side as a fulcrum. 11 and 11' are fitting holes provided in the front and rear walls near the left side of the upper part of the dehydration tank 2,
Support ribs 13 and 13' provided on the dehydration lid 12 to protrude outward are fitted into the fitting holes 11 and 11', thereby pivoting the dehydration lid 12. The dehydrating lid 12 is rotatable up to 180 degrees to the left of the dehydrating machine main body 1 about the pivot point. Reference numerals 14 and 14' designate extended ribs provided at both ends perpendicular to the shaft support on the back side of the dehydration lid 12, and 15 represents a brake mechanism that is interlocked with the rotational movement of the dehydration lid 12.

As mentioned above, since the dehydration lid 12 has a structure that rotates up to 180 degrees to the left of the dehydrator main body 1, the dehydration lid 12 is lowered one step from the upper end surface A of the dehydration tank 2, so that the center of rotation of the support ribs 13, 13' is It is configured to be located between the upper end surface A of the dehydration tank 2 and the upper surface of the dehydration lid 12. Therefore, if the dehydrator is placed on the right side of the washing machine B and the dehydration lid 12 is opened, the dehydration lid 12 will rotate to the upper surface of the washing machine B, and the dehydration lid 12 will be turned over. Then, the dehydration lid 12 stops with the upper surface of the dehydration lid 12 in contact with the upper surface of the washing machine B and the upper end surface A of the dehydration tub 2 due to the above rotation.
In this state, if the laundry in the washing tub C is transferred to the dehydrating basket 5 by passing it over the dehydrating lid 12, the detergent liquid dripping from the laundry will fall onto the back side of the dehydrating lid 12. The detergent liquid that fell onto the back side of the dehydration lid 1
Since the detergent liquid and detergent foam flow into the washing tub C or spin-drying tub 2 while being guided by the extending ribs 14 and 14' provided on both ends of the back side of the washing machine, detergent liquid and detergent foam may fall and adhere to the top surface of the washing machine or dehydrator. No more getting the floor wet.

In addition, when transferring laundry, the dehydration lid 12 is located at a lower position so that the laundry does not come into contact with it, so there is no possibility that the laundry will hit the dehydration lid 12 and close it unnecessarily, unlike in the conventional case. It disappears.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the pivot point of the dehydration lid 12 was provided close to the left side of the upper part of the dehydration tank 2, and the dehydration lid 12 was structured to rotate to the left side of the dehydrator main body 1, but in the opposite direction. Needless to say, the dehydrating lid 12 may be provided at the upper right side of the dehydrating tank 2, and the dehydrating lid 12 may be rotated to the right side of the dehydrating machine body 1.

As described above, according to the dehydrator of the present invention, the dehydration lid attached to the upper side of the dehydration receiver cover is rotatable up to 180 degrees in either the left or right direction of the dehydrator main body using one end as a fulcrum. Since there are extending ribs on both ends perpendicular to the pivot on the back side of the dehydration lid, when using it in conjunction with a washing machine and transferring the laundry in the washing tub to the dehydration basket, this dehydration lid can be opened. This makes it possible to eliminate the conventional problems. The extended ribs can also serve to increase the strength of the dehydration lid itself.
