Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to preventing water from splashing during washing or rinsing of a washing machine.

In other words, in a general washing machine that is square or rectangular and has rounded corners at each of the four corners and has a pulsator at the bottom, the shape of the beam provided for decoration on the upper front flange is inclined to the inside of the washing tank. The protrusion is intended to prevent water from splashing during washing or rinsing.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In the figure, a washing tank 2 is suspended on an outer frame 1, and a panel 3 is placed on top.

The washing tank 2 is square or rectangular, each of the four corners is rounded, and a rinsing filter 4 is provided at the back right corner, and a drainage filter 5 is provided below the rinsing filter 4.

Further, the bottom part is approximately spherical and is provided with a pulsator 6. This pulsator 6 is adapted to be rotated by a motor (not shown).

A flange 7 is formed on the upper part of the washing tank 2, and a decorative beam 9 is fitted into the front flange 8, and this beam 9 projects inward from the inner surface of the washing tank 2 by an amount d.

In the above configuration, when items to be washed and water are placed in the washing tank 2 and washed or rinsed, the items to be washed are agitated by the rotation of the pulsator 6, and a water flow is generated accordingly.

This water flow has greater resistance at the corners of the washing tank 2, so the water level rises and water may splash out from the upper flange 7.

This tendency is especially strong when the washing capacity is small because the water flow becomes strong.

The chances of this water splashing are mostly from the front.

Also, if it comes out to the front, it can cause serious damage such as leaking the user's clothes.

To prevent this, there is a method of lowering the water level when washing or rinsing when washing a small amount, but this is inconvenient because the water level must be adjusted every time.

Alternatively, the height between the rated water level and the top surface of the washing tank 2 may be increased. However, this requires a large amount of water and the depth of the washing tank 2 becomes deep, which goes against resource conservation and increases the price.

The present invention allows the upper surface of the decorative beam 9 fitted to the front flange 8 to protrude obliquely from the inside of the washing tank 2 by an amount d, thereby preventing water from flowing out from the flange 8 and returning it to the inside of the washing tank 2. It is something.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention can prevent water splashing with an inexpensive structure by only partially changing the shape of the decorative beam 9, and its practical effects are great.
