In relation to the receiving portion 28, the lower portion of the inner peripheral surface of the second portion 12 is recessed downward and opened to both the upper side (strictly the rear upper side) and the rear side (strictly the rear lower side). The receiving groove 29 is formed. The receiving groove 29 is located behind the mounting groove 14 in the second portion 12.

  Referring to FIG. 3, the receiving groove 29 extends substantially along the circumferential direction S of the second portion 12, and the bottom surface 29 </ b> A of the receiving groove 29 bulges downward in an arc shape. Strictly speaking, the lowermost portion of the annular second portion 12 and its peripheral portion bulge downward in a one-step arc shape, and the upper side surface of the portion bulged downward in the second portion 12 is the bottom surface of the receiving groove 29. 29A. The curvature of the bottom surface 29 </ b> A is larger than the curvature in a region other than the receiving groove 29 on the inner peripheral surface of the second portion 12.

  Further, the end portions (here, both end portions) in the circumferential direction S of the bottom surface 29A are connected to the peripheral portion 12B continuous from the circumferential direction S to the receiving groove 29 on the inner peripheral surface (portion other than the receiving groove 29) of the second portion 12. On the other hand, the inclined surface 29B is smoothly connected. Since the inclined surface 29B is smoothly connected to the peripheral portion 12B, the inclined surface 29B extends in a tangential direction with respect to the bottom surface 29A when viewed from the front-rear direction (the extending direction of the rotating shaft 18), and is about several degrees with respect to the peripheral portion 12B. It is preferable to incline at a small inclination angle. Further, the bottom surface 29 </ b> A of the receiving groove 29 is inclined rearward and downward at any position in the circumferential direction S.

  With reference to FIG. 2, a closing plate 30 is attached to the water tank 2. The closing plate 30 is a part of the washing machine 1. The closing plate 30 is a thin plate shape in the front-rear direction of the washing machine 1, and has an arc shape substantially along the bottom surface 29A when viewed from the front-rear direction (see FIGS. 3 and 4). The lower portion 30A of the closing plate 30 is disposed to face the boundary portion between the first portion 11 and the second portion 12 in the inlet / outlet portion 9 of the water tank 2 from the rear side, and may be a screw 31 (single or plural). (See also FIG. 4). The upper portion 30B of the closing plate 30 closes the receiving groove 29 from the rear side. Therefore, the receiving groove 29 is open only on the upper side (the gap X side). The receiving groove 29 and the closing plate 30 constitute a receiving portion 28 that is provided so as to be circumferentially expanded along the circumferential direction S (circumferential direction S around the rotation shaft 18) while being depressed downward. ing. That is, the receiving part 28 is comprised by the water tank 2 and the obstruction | occlusion board 30 which is one separate component which attaches to the water tank 2 and divides a part of the receiving part 28. FIG.

  In addition, the end portion 28A of the receiving portion 28 in the circumferential direction S and the peripheral portion of the end portion 28A in the water tank 2 (the peripheral portion 12B described above) are connected by the above-described inclined surface 29B (see also FIG. 3). .

  Further, in the upper portion 30B of the closing plate 30, water passing through the closing plate 30 in the plate thickness direction (front-rear direction) is provided at the lower end of the substantially central portion in the circumferential direction S (at the boundary with the lower portion 30A). A punching hole 32 is formed (see also FIGS. 3 and 4). In the completed receiving portion 28, the drainage hole 32 is provided at the deepest position (a boundary portion between the bottom surface 29 </ b> A of the receiving groove 29 and the closing plate 30).

  For example, when the rotating drum 3 is rotating (for example, dewatering rotation) in the washing machine 1 in operation, a part of the laundry in the rotating drum 3 protrudes from the opening 17 of the rotating drum 3 to the front side by centrifugal force. It is possible. In that case, the portion of the laundry that protrudes from the opening 17 to the front side is the front end edge 3A of the rotating drum 3 and the rear end portion of the packing 5 (the rear end portion 21A of the pipe portion 21), as indicated by a thick arrow. It falls from the gap X by its own weight, is guided to the receiving portion 28 directly below the gap X, and is received by the receiving portion 28. When the laundry is received by the receiving unit 28, the laundry is controlled so as to spread in the circumferential direction S within the receiving unit 28 by centrifugal force without protruding forward from the receiving unit 28. Therefore, even if the laundry protrudes from the opening 17 of the rotating drum 3, the laundry is received by the receiving portion 28, so that the laundry is moved away from the packing 5 (particularly, the first protruding portion 22). Damage (breaking etc.) of the packing 5 due to the contact of the laundry can be prevented.

  In this way, the receiving unit 28 receives the laundry protruding from the opening 17 of the rotating drum 3 so as not to contact the packing 5. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the packing 5 from being damaged by the laundry protruding from the rotating drum 3.

  Further, the end portion 28A of the receiving portion 28 in the circumferential direction S and the peripheral portion 12B of the end portion 28A in the water tank 2 are smoothly connected by the inclined surface 29B of the receiving groove 29 as described above (FIG. 3). reference). In this case, even if the laundry received by the receiving unit 28 reaches the boundary between the receiving unit 28 and the peripheral portion 12B, the laundry is prevented from floating and coming into contact with the packing 5 and receiving the laundry. 28 can be returned smoothly. In this embodiment, the inclined surfaces 29B are formed at both ends in the circumferential direction S of the bottom surface 29A of the receiving groove 29 (see FIG. 3), but at least in the rotational direction of the rotary drum 3 among the both ends. It is only necessary that the inclined surface 29B is formed on the downstream side.

  And since the receiving part 28 of the hollow shape was not comprised only with the water tank 2 as mentioned above, but comprised with the combination of the water tank 2 and another component (blocking board 30), the water tank 2 is a simple metal mold | die. Can be molded. That is, it is possible to prevent the packing 5 from being damaged by the laundry protruding from the rotating drum 3 with a simple mold structure.

  Even if the water in the water tank 2 enters the receiving portion 28, the water is discharged out of the receiving portion 28 through the drain hole 32 located at the deepest portion of the receiving portion 28. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the laundry received by the receiving unit 28 from being wet in the dry state.

  The present invention is not limited to the contents of the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims.

  For example, in the embodiment described above, the rotating shaft 18 of the rotating drum 3 extends in an oblique direction as shown in FIG. 1, but may extend in the front-rear direction along the horizontal direction H. In short, the rotation shaft 18 only needs to extend in a direction intersecting the vertical direction V.
