Abstract

A weight sensor(10) is installed close to the bottom of the water tank(6) of an automatic washer. When the washer is not in operation, an elastic spring(12) connected to the rod of the weight sensor(10) contacts the water tank to measure the wash load. As the wash load increases, the water tank lowers and then the rod(14) lowers since the elastic spring(12) is pressed. When the wash load reaches the weight setting, the washer automatically starts to operate. In addition, the circular rotary gear(22) rotates to sufficiently separate the housing(16), in which the rod(14) is inserted, from the water tank(6) so that the weight sensor(10) is protected from the vibration of the water tank(6) due to high-speed spinning of the washer tub(8). Items(26) is a guide to support and fix the water tank(6) when it is moved.

발명의 분야Field of invention

본 발명은 전자동 세탁기에 관한 것이다. 보다 구체적으로는 사용자가 설명한 세탁물의 중량에 따라서 세탁기에 투입되는 세탁물의 양을 감지하여 세탁기를 작동시키는 중량감지센서를 가진 전자동 세탁기에 관한 것으로 특히 중량감지센서가 저수조의 하부측에 설치된 것을 특징으로 한다.The present invention relates to a fully automatic washing machine. More specifically, the present invention relates to a fully automatic washing machine having a weight sensor which detects the amount of laundry to be put into the washing machine according to the weight of the laundry described by the user, and operates the washing machine. do.

발명의 배경Background of the Invention

종래의 전자동 세탁기는 다양한 기능과 편리성에도 불구하고 사용자가 세탁기를 직접 작동시키거나 또는 타이머를 설정해야 하였다. 본 발명은 사용자가 세탁때마다 작동시키는 방식을 개선하고자 하는 것으로서 현재 사용되는 중량감지센서를 사용하여 세탁물을 세탁조에 집어넣기만 하면 이것의 중량을 감지하여 자동적으로 세탁 행정이 개시되는 것이다. 제1도에 도시된 것은 종래의 전자동 세탁기의 측단면도로서 일반적인 구조를 도시한 개략도이다.In the conventional fully automatic washing machine, the user has to operate the washing machine or set a timer despite various functions and conveniences. The present invention is to improve the manner in which the user operates every time the washing, and simply put the laundry in the washing tank using the weight sensor currently used to detect the weight of the washing cycle is automatically started. Shown in FIG. 1 is a side cross-sectional view of a conventional fully automatic washing machine, which is a schematic diagram showing a general structure.
