According to the present invention, there is provided a washing machine having a casing, an outer tub provided in the casing, a spin basket provided in the outer tub, and a pulsator for forming a washing water flow in the spin basket. Is accommodated to be in close contact with the inner wall of the rotatable integrally with the spin basket, it is achieved by a washing machine comprising a laundry basket of the reticular body retractable from the spin basket.

Here, it may be preferable that at least one seating groove is formed on the sidewall of the spin basket so that the laundry basket is disposed along the circumferential direction so as to be parallel to the axis of the spin basket to seat the laundry basket on the sidewall of the spin basket.

In addition, the laundry basket may be preferably formed with a catch means for contacting the upper end of the spin basket so that the upper surface of the pulsator and the lower surface of the laundry basket is a predetermined distance, the locking means is the laundry It may be effective to have a plurality of hooks installed to protrude upward from the upper end of the basket.

A circular pulsator guide passage is provided at a lower distance from the outer circumferential surface of the pulsator guide in a radial distance from the outer circumferential surface of the pulsator guide so that a pulsator guide protruding in the center of the pulsator passes through the laundry basket. It may be preferable that an additional portion is formed, and a safety net is formed along the edge of the pulsator guide passing portion so as to prevent the laundry from being caught in the space between the pulsator guide passing portion and the pulsator guide. Can be.

In addition, it may be effective that the laundry basket is formed with a handle to facilitate the withdrawal from the spin basket.

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

1 is a perspective view of a washing machine according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the washing machine of Figure 1; As shown in these figures, the washing machine according to the present invention, like the conventional washing machine, has a rectangular cylindrical casing 1 and a top cover 3 which is coupled to the upper end of the casing 1.

In the central area of the top cover 3, a door 23 that can be opened and closed for entering and exiting laundry is provided, and a water supply pipe 25 for supplying washing water is installed at the rear edge.

The outer tub 5 is fixed to the casing 1 by a plurality of suspensions 4, and the cylindrical spin basket 7 is accommodated in the outer tub 5. In the lower portion of the spin basket 7, a disk-shaped pulsator 9 which generates washing water flow in the spin basket 7 by forward and reverse rotation is provided. A pulsator guide 11 protrudes from the central region of the upper surface of the pulsator 9, and a plurality of wings 13 protrude from the axis of the pulsator 9 radially in a radial direction. The shaft assembly 15 is coupled to the lower region of the spin basket 7 and the pulsator 9 along their axis. The shaft assembly 15 is connected to the drive motor 19 by the belt 17 to transmit the driving force of the drive motor 19 to the spin basket 7 and the pulsator 9, respectively. The laundry basket 27 is provided in the spin basket 7 to accommodate laundry. The inner wall of the spin basket 7 is formed with a plurality of dehydration holes 29 through which the washing water is discharged by centrifugal force when the laundry in the spin basket 7 is dewatered, so that the spin basket 7 can be withdrawn. The plurality of guide grooves 31 are recessed so as to be parallel to the axis of the spin basket 7 so that the laundry basket 27 to be installed can be seated.

On the other hand, Figure 3 is a perspective view of the laundry basket of Figure 1, 4 is a partially enlarged perspective view of the spin basket and the laundry basket of Figure 1 combined state. As shown in these figures, the laundry basket 27 is formed into a cylindrical mesh, and the circular pulsator guide passing portion (the pulsator guide 11 can pass through the lower center region of the laundry basket 27). 33) is formed. At the edge of the pulsator guide passing portion 33, a cylindrical safety net 34 is provided to prevent the laundry from being caught between the pulsator 9 and the pulsator guide passing portion 33 during washing. The laundry basket 27 is fixed to the upper end of the spin basket 7 at the upper end region of the laundry basket 27, and the lower end of the laundry basket 27 is spaced a predetermined distance from the wing 13 of the pulsator 9. A plurality of hooks 35 are provided to be positioned at a predetermined distance, and a plurality of handles 37 are provided to facilitate the withdrawal of the laundry basket 27.

According to the above configuration, the laundry basket 27 is accommodated in the spin basket 7 along the guide groove 31 formed on the inner wall surface of the spin basket 7, and then the hook 35 of the laundry basket 27 is formed. ) Is fastened to the upper end of the spin basket (7) and the laundry basket (27) is fixed to the spin basket (7). After the laundry is accommodated in the laundry basket 27, the detergent is put in the appropriate amount according to the amount or type of the laundry, and the washing machine is operated. The washing water is supplied from the water supply pipe 25 to start washing. While the laundry is in progress, the laundry flows along the stream of laundry generated by the rotation of the pulsator 9 in the laundry basket 27 to perform the washing. After washing is completed, the handle 37 formed in the laundry basket 27 may be gripped to draw the laundry basket 27 upward from the spin basket 7 and then take out the laundry accommodated in the laundry basket 27.

In this manner, the laundry basket of the network is accommodated in close contact with the inner wall surface of the spin basket and rotatably integrated with the spin basket, and the laundry basket of the reticulated body that can be taken out of the spin basket can be easily withdrawn from the spin basket.

As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided a washing machine that can easily withdraw laundry from the laundry is completed in the spin basket.
