The present invention relates to a washing machine, and more particularly, to adjust the height of the water overflow, so that the dirt floating on the water surface of the rinsing water during rinsing with the water to be filtered by the filter to float on the water surface It's about a washing machine that can filter dirt.

Generally, a washing machine includes a stirring washing machine, a vortex washing machine and a drum washing machine according to the washing method. One of them is the vortex type washing machine, which is one of the most widely used methods of rotating the laundry by rotating the pulsator, which is rotatably mounted at the lower end of the washing tank, to generate a swirl-like water flow. The washing machine is shown.

As shown in the drawing, the shower type washing machine includes a water storage tank (1) in which a washing tank or a pulsator is rotatably installed therein, and uses a motor and a gear assembly installed on the outer bottom of the water storage tank (1). The pulsator is optionally rotated to perform washing and dehydration. In addition, a filter 6 and a circulation pump 7 are attached to the lower part of the reservoir 1, and the shower hose 4, the drain hose 3, and the drain pipe 2 are connected to each other so that the reservoir 1 can be connected to each other. A shower and drainage structure is formed to allow water discharged from the washing machine to be discharged to the outside of the washing machine or to be returned to the reservoir 1 with the shower ring 5 installed at the top of the reservoir.

During the rinsing process using the washing machine configured as described above, after the water is supplied, the pulsator is rotated for a predetermined time so that the dirt or detergent remaining in the laundry is discharged into the water, and the water containing the dirt is drained. By repeating the above procedure one or more times, the detergent or dirt remaining in the laundry is rinsed out.

During the rinsing process, the rinsing water is re-supplied into the reservoir 1 by the circulation pump 7 to the shower ring 5 on the top of the reservoir 1 to circulate the rinsing water, and the circulating water is filtered through the filter 6. The rinse is performed to clean rinsing, so that the water is drained when the water is finished after rinsing. There is a problem that can not be sufficient rinsing down to the top.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to clean the rinsing by eliminating the above-mentioned defects and overflowing the top of the water during the rinsing process of the washing machine, that is, the dirt floating on the water with the rinsing water, through the filter installed in the lower base. It is to provide a washing machine to perform.

A feature of the present invention for achieving the above object is to install a filter and a circulating pump to be in contact with the drain pipe connected to the bottom of the reservoir to drain the washing water drained from the reservoir through the drain hose to the outside of the washing machine or the shower hose and A washing machine configured to circulate for rinsing laundry in a reservoir by a shower ring installed at a top of a reservoir after passing through a filter, comprising: a plurality of outlets having water overflowing water formed on a side wall of the reservoir and floating on the water surface; It is installed to be in communication with the discharge port to remove the floating water including a plurality of flow path opening and closing means for guiding the discharge water flowing into the outlet to the filter and connected to each other between the outlet and the induction passage to control the outlet There is a washing machine that can.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a washing machine capable of removing floats by adjusting an overflow height according to the present invention, and in order to avoid overlapping description of the same parts as those of the conventional washing machine shown in FIG. The same reference numerals are used.

As shown in the drawing, in the washing machine capable of removing the floating matter according to the present invention, the reservoir 1 forms a plurality of outlets 11a according to the water level on one side wall, and each of the outlets 11a and the filter 6 is formed. An induction furnace 11c for fluid communication is provided.

In addition, the washing machine capable of removing the suspended matter of the present invention is provided with an opening and closing means (11b) for controlling the water containing the dirt overflowed to the outlet (11a).

The outlet 11a is formed through one side wall of the reservoir 1, and a plurality of outlets 11a are formed at different heights. Each of the outlets 11a is provided with an opening and closing means 11b. The opening and closing means (11b) is an electronic opening and closing device to control the flow by pulling or releasing the switch by supplying or cutting off electricity to the electromagnet, these are partly open depending on the water level according to the amount of laundry put into the washing tank and part is Closed, the control of the opening and closing means 11b can be controlled at the same time as the setting of the amount of water supplied to the amount of laundry after the laundry is put into the washing tank (2). That is, the conventional washing machine may be controlled by intermittently controlling the electricity supplied to the opening and closing means 11B at the same time as the quantity control by the microprocessor, but the present invention is not limited thereto and may be variously modified. .

The outlet 11a is shown and described as an embodiment of forming three according to the height of the low, medium, high depending on the water level, but this is not limited to this, but the more formed it is possible to control the finer level As a result, the structure is complicated by the installation of wiring and other auxiliary members, so three to five may be suitable.

The effects of the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2 again.

The washing using a washing machine capable of removing the floats of the present invention will be described as an example of heavy water washing.

In the case of heavy water washing, when the laundry is put into the washing tank 2, the amount of laundry is sensed and water is supplied by a preset program, and when the water level reaches the appropriate level, that is, the medium water level, the supply of water is stopped. . At this time, only the opening and closing means (11b) installed in the low water level portion of the opening and closing means (11b) is closed and the opening and closing means (11b) provided in the medium and high water level is opened to overflow the height is a medium level. When the washing process is finished and rinsing starts, clean water is supplied again, and the pulsator is rotated to stir the laundry to separate the dirt remaining between the laundry, and the circulation pump 7 operates to circulate the water. The dirt is filtered out by the filter 6. As described above, the suspended solids on the water at the same time as the circulation of the water is discharged through the open outlet 11a of the heavy water with the water is led to the filter 6 along the induction path (11c) to filter the dirt and shower hose Along with (4) it is sprayed from the shower ring 5 and supplied again into the washing tank.

In addition, the overall process of washing and rinsing at the time of low or high water washing is the same as in the low water level, but when the water level is low, all the opening / closing means 11b are opened or only the low water level is opened so that the overflow level becomes low. , When the high water level washing, only the opening and closing means (11b) installed in the high water level is opened, and the low and medium opening and closing means (11b) are in a closed state, so the water overflowing the water including the dirt becomes a high water level.

The determination of the water level may be set automatically by the microprocessor by sensing the amount of laundry as in the conventional washing machine or manually operated by the user, and the control of the opening and closing means 11b may be automatically controlled according to the water level. Can be.

As described above, according to the present invention, by rewatering the overflowed water by adjusting the height of the overflowed water to the top of the reservoir through the filter and the circulation pump, dirt suspended in the water overflows with the water and is filtered by the filter. By doing so, the effect of performing a cleaner rinse is provided.
