Reference numeral 17 denotes an upper lid integrally molded of synthetic resin so as to cover the area around the upper opening of the washing tub 3. A handle portion 18 is formed at the front of the lid, and a shaft 19 is provided at the rear of the lid. It is rotatably supported on the water tank body 2 by a shaft 19.

The upper lid 17 has a lower part than the upper lid reference upper surface part 20,
Auxiliary water tank part 21 having a depth of at least 50 mm or more
The auxiliary water tank section 21 has an auxiliary overflow port 22 formed in a part of its side wall, and an auxiliary drain port 23 formed in a part of its bottom surface. An auxiliary drain pipe 25 is connected to the section 23 via an auxiliary pot 24, and an auxiliary overflow port 2
2 are connected to auxiliary overflow pipes 26, respectively. Both the pipes 25 and 26 have open ends, but the open end of the auxiliary overflow pipe 26 may be connected to the middle of the auxiliary drain pipe 25. Furthermore, the auxiliary pot 24 is not limited to one that is incorporated into the auxiliary water tank section 21, but may be an easy-to-fit pot that presses a rubber stopper connected with a chain or the like against the auxiliary drain port section 23 to seal the water.

The above auxiliary drain pipe 25, auxiliary overflow pipe 26
A part of the side wall of the washing tub 3 where the water receiver 2 is located
7 is provided, and an auxiliary water hole 28 is provided at the bottom of this water receiving portion 27.
An auxiliary drain hose 29 is connected to the auxiliary water hole 28, and its end communicates with the drain hose 16.

Incidentally, the water receiving portion 27 may also be used as a water overflowing portion when washing is done in the washing tub 3 side.

Reference numeral 30 denotes a water tap located behind the top lid 17 and fixed to a part of the tank body 2 with a nut 31, and a water inlet portion 32 extending into the tank body 2 from this tap includes:
One end of the water supply hose 33 is fixed with a water seal.

Reference numeral 34 denotes a lock for opening and closing a shutoff valve provided inside the water tap 30. Reference numeral 35 denotes a water spout portion, which is rotatably supported by the water tap 30 in the horizontal direction, and the tip of this spout portion 35 is located at a height of at least 25 mm or more from the upper lid reference upper surface portion 20. There is.

Reference numeral 36 denotes a water splash prevention part that is integrally formed with the water tank body 2 so as to be located at the rear of the top lid 17, and has a width that is at least longer than the width dimension of the top lid 17, and a height that is higher than the upper end of the water tap 30. The water faucet 30 is protected when the product is packaged by configuring it to have a certain dimension. 3
7, 37' are ribs integrally molded on the water tank body 2,
It engages and is supported by the upper part of the washing machine main body 1.

Reference numerals 38 and 38' denote guide walls for preventing water splashing, which are integrally formed with the water tank body 2 so as to be located behind the upper lid 17, and are provided facing each other. Reference numeral 39 denotes a water supply port provided between the guide walls 38 and 38', and is provided corresponding to a portion of the rotation locus of the discharge port 35 in the horizontal direction from below. The water supply port 39 communicates with a porous water flow member having a rectifying function, such as a sponge 40 formed of a foaming material, a water supply pocket 41 located below the sponge 40, and a lower part of the water supply pocket 41. water hole 42
It communicates with the washing tub 3 via. 43 and 43' are protrusions for positioning the water spout 35;
The rotation range of the discharge port 35 is restricted by the protrusion 43.
The position is regulated so that the water supply from the water supply port 39 just falls into the water supply port part 39. The protrusion 43' restricts the rotation range of the discharge port 35 so that the water supplied from the water supply port 39 falls into the auxiliary water tank 21. 44 is a knob for operating a time switch for washing side operation. Reference numeral 45 denotes a recessed part provided on the front lower surface of the bottom box 7, and the height in the vertical direction from the installation surface is set to be 50 mm or more, and the depth dimension from the front part of the aquarium body 2 is set to be 50 mm or more. The recessed part 45 is formed over a width greater than the width of the auxiliary water tank part 21, ensuring sufficient space for the feet during washing and washing operations. In order to prevent drops from falling from both elbows when washing the toilet, the height from the installation surface to the upper cover reference upper surface part 20 is set to 720 mm.

In the above configuration, by rotatably supporting the upper lid 17 on the upper opening of the washing tub 3, the washing tub 3
It is possible to prevent splashed water from being discharged outside the machine when the clothes are agitated by the auxiliary water tank 2, which is located between the opening of the washing tub 3 and the water level of the washing tub 3 on the upper lid 17.
1, space can be used effectively, and the water spilled from the auxiliary water tank 21 does not overflow into the washing tank 3, so the floor surface is not wet, making it suitable for washing small items, spot washing, etc. Usability can be improved. Furthermore, by providing an auxiliary overflow port 22 and an auxiliary drain port 23, the auxiliary water tank 21
Since the water from the auxiliary water tank 21 is discharged through a drainage path that is isolated from the inside of the washing tank 3, the auxiliary water tank 21
Even if more unsanitary items are drained, they will not flow into the washing tub 3.

In addition, by attaching a water faucet 30 with a shutoff valve to a part of the water tank body 2, when the water faucet and the washing machine are installed far apart, it is no longer necessary to go to the front of the water faucet to shut off the water. The water supply and water shutoff operations can be easily carried out at hand, making it fully functional as a washbasin.

Further, in this embodiment, the other end of the water supply hose 33 is connected to a water faucet through a detachable joint, making it convenient for moving the main body. Note that a configuration in which the water tap 30 is directly connected to a water pipe may also be used.

Furthermore, by rotatably supporting the discharge port 35 and providing a water supply port 39 that communicates with the washing tub 3 corresponding to a part of this rotation locus, the discharge port provided in one faucet 30 can be By rotating the outlet portion 35 with a single touch, the faucet 30 can be used for washing and washing, and the upper lid 17
Water is supplied to the washing side even when the door is closed.

As described above, according to the present invention, a washstand and a washing machine can be used in the same space, and when the washing machine is not in use, it can be used as a washstand, which saves resources.
Space-saving can be realized, and in particular, a water faucet with a rotatably supported discharge port is provided close to the auxiliary water tank, and the washing tub It is equipped with a water supply port connected to the water supply faucet, and by rotating the discharge port provided on one faucet with a single touch, it can be used for either the washing tub side or the auxiliary water tank side. Water can be supplied, the water supply operation is extremely simple, and the usability is extremely good. In addition, by surrounding the water supply opening with a water splash prevention part and a guide wall that are taller than the discharge opening of the faucet, it is possible to prevent water from scattering from the water supply opening, and the lid Good water supply can be achieved with the lid closed.
