Description

세탁기용 촉매제 공급장치{A catalytic tablet supply device for washing machine}A catalytic tablet supply device for washing machine

본 발명은 세탁기에 관한 것으로, 상세하게는 동기모터의 스핀들과 연결된 회전부재의 외주면으로 정제타입의 촉매제가 삽입되는 요홈을 방사상으로 형성시키고, 상기한 회전부재를 동기모터에 의해 회전시킴으로써 촉매제의 투입량이 정확히 규제될 수 있도록 구성한 것으로, 특히 별도의 세제공급없이 세탁수의 전기분해를 이용하여 세탁이 이루어지도록 구성한 무세제방식의 세탁기에 적합하도록 구성한 것이다.The present invention relates to a washing machine, and in detail, a groove into which a tablet-type catalyst is inserted radially is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating member connected to the spindle of the synchronous motor, and the amount of the catalyst is injected by rotating the rotating member by the synchronous motor. It is configured to be precisely regulated, in particular, it is configured to be suitable for the washing machine of the detergent-free type configured to wash using the electrolysis of the washing water without a separate detergent supply.

일반적으로 가정용 세탁기는 세탁조에 투입된 세탁물이 세제가 함유된 세탁수와 함께 회전하는 과정에서 세제의 계면활성작용과 세탁조 내벽면과의 마찰이나 낙하에 따른 충격에 의해 세탁효과가 발생하며, 특히 펄세이터 방식의 세탁기에서는 세제의 계면활성작용과 펄세이터의 회전에 의해 형성된 수류에 의해 세탁이 이루어진다.In general, a washing machine in a household washing machine generates a washing effect due to the surfactant activity and the impact of friction or drop with the inner wall of the washing tank in the process of rotating the laundry into the washing tank together with the washing water containing the detergent. In particular, the pulsator In the washing machine of the type washing is performed by the water flow formed by the surfactant action of the detergent and the rotation of the pulsator.

이와 달리 최근에 개발된 세탁기에서는 세탁물에 대한 마찰력 및 낙하에 따른 충격이나 수류에 의한 세탁작용과 함께 특수 전기분해 장치를 경유한 세탁수를 세탁 이온수로 전환시킴으로써 별도의 세제투입없이 세탁물의 오염물을 분해하고, 각종 세균의 살균이 이루어지도록 한다.On the other hand, the recently developed washing machine decomposes contaminants of laundry without adding detergent by converting the washing water through the special electrolysis device into the washing ion water, along with the washing action by the frictional force and the drop or impact of the laundry. And sterilization of various bacteria.

상기한 바와 같은 무세제 방식의 세탁기에서는 세탁시 세제가 불필요한 반면 물의 전기분해를 촉진시킴으로써 세탁시간을 단축시키고, 세탁력을 높이도록 세탁수에 촉매제를 투입시키며, 이와 같은 촉매제로는 통상적으로 탄산나트륨(sodium carbonate)을 이용한다.In the non-detergent washing machine as described above, detergent is unnecessary when washing, while the electrolysis of water shortens the washing time, and adds a catalyst to the washing water to increase the washing power. As such a catalyst, sodium carbonate (sodium) is usually used. carbonate).

상기한 바와 같이 탄산나트륨을 주재로한 촉매제는 세탁수에 대해 소량의 투입만으로도 세탁력이 향상되는 반면, 과량이 투입될 경우에는 행굼과정에서 세탁수의 소모가 증가하므로, 촉매제 및 세탁수의 불필요한 소모를 방지하기 위해 최소한의 양만이 투입될 수 있도록 투입량의 규제가 필요하다.As described above, the catalyst based on sodium carbonate improves washing power only by adding a small amount to the wash water, whereas when excessive amount is added, the consumption of the wash water increases during the rinsing process, thus eliminating unnecessary consumption of the catalyst and the wash water. To prevent this, regulation of the input volume is necessary so that only a minimum amount can be input.

이때, 상기한 탄산나트륨은 흡습성이 강한 관계로 분말상태로 사용할 경우에는 세탁과정에서 발생한 수증기에 의해 분말이 응착되어 굳어짐으로써 장시간의 저장이 곤란하며, 이에 따라 분말상태의 탄산나트륨을 압축시켜 고형의 정제로 제조하여 장시간 보관할 경우에도 응착을 방지하는 동시에 세탁조에 대한 원활한 투입이 가능하도록 한다.In this case, when the sodium carbonate is used in a powder state due to its strong hygroscopicity, the powder is hardened and hardened by water vapor generated during the washing process, thus making it difficult to store for a long time. Even if it is manufactured and stored for a long time, it prevents the adhesion and at the same time enables the smooth input of the washing tank.

한편, 통상적인 세탁기의 배면 상부에는 세탁에 필요한 세제를 저장하는 동시에 세탁과정에서 저장된 세제를 세탁수의 저수량에 따라 공급시키는 세제 공급장치가 구비된다.On the other hand, the top of the back of the conventional washing machine is provided with a detergent supply device for storing the detergent required for washing at the same time and supply the detergent stored in the washing process according to the low amount of wash water.

상기한 세제 공급장치는 분말상태의 세제가 저장되는 챔버의 내부에 스프링 형상의 이송축을 수평으로 결합시키고, 모터의 구동에 따라 상기한 이송축을 회전시킴으로써 세제의 공급이 이루어지도록 한다.The detergent supply apparatus horizontally couples the spring-shaped feed shaft to the inside of the chamber in which the detergent in the powder state is stored, and supplies the detergent by rotating the feed shaft according to the driving of the motor.

도 1은 상기한 바와 같은 분말상태의 세제를 공급시키는 세제 공급장치(200)의 일례를 도시한 단면도로서, 이와 같은 종래의 세제 공급장치(200)는, 상부에 커버(105)를 갖는 챔버(110)의 내부에 스프링 형상의 이송축(120)을 수평으로 회전가능하게 결합시키고, 상기한 이송축(120)의 일측으로는 모터(130)를 결합시킨 구조로 이루어진다.1 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a detergent supply apparatus 200 for supplying a detergent in a powder state as described above, such a conventional detergent supply apparatus 200, the chamber having a cover 105 on the top ( A spring-shaped feed shaft 120 is rotatably coupled to the inside of the 110, and the motor 130 is coupled to one side of the feed shaft 120.

이와 같은 종래의 세제 공급장치(200)는, 세탁기의 초기 동작과정에서 제어부의 제어에 의해 모터(130)에 일정시간동안 동작전원을 인가함으로써 상기한 모터(130)를 구동시키는 한편, 이에 따라 모터(130)의 회전축 선단에 결합된 이송축(120)이 세제를 토출구(101)로 이송시켜 세제를 세탁조로 공급한다.The conventional detergent supply apparatus 200 drives the motor 130 by applying operating power to the motor 130 for a predetermined time under the control of the controller in the initial operation process of the washing machine, and accordingly, the motor The feed shaft 120 coupled to the front end of the rotary shaft 130 transfers the detergent to the discharge port 101 to supply the detergent to the washing tank.

그러나, 상기한 바와 같은 종래 구조의 세제 공급장치(200)는 세제의 공급시에는 장시간의 반복 회전에 따라 세탁수에 대한 세제의 공급이 가능한 반면, 정제타입의 촉매제를 공급시킬 경우에는 촉매제에 대한 가압력이 작아 촉매제의 원활한 공급이 곤란하다는 등의 문제점이 따른다.However, the detergent supply apparatus 200 of the conventional structure as described above is capable of supplying the detergent to the wash water according to a long time repetitive rotation during the supply of the detergent, whereas when supplying the tablet type catalyst, There is a problem that the pressing force is small, so that smooth supply of the catalyst is difficult.

특히, 종래의 세제 공급장치(200)는, 토출구(101)가 개방된 구조로 이루어지는 한편, 상기한 토출구(101)가 세탁조를 지향하도록 형성됨에 따라 세탁과정에서 촉매제가 저장된 챔버(110)의 내부로 수증기가 침투하여 촉매제를 응착시키는 등의 문제점이 발생하며, 이와 함께 세탁수에 비례한 촉매제의 정량단속이 곤란하다는 등의 많은 문제점이 발생한다.In particular, the conventional detergent supply apparatus 200 has a structure in which the discharge port 101 is opened, while the discharge port 101 is formed to direct the washing tank, the interior of the chamber 110 in which the catalyst is stored in the washing process. Problems such as vapor penetration into the catalyst adheres, and many problems arise such as difficulty in quantitative control of the catalyst proportional to the wash water.

본 발명은 상기한 종래의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 안출한 것으로, 본 발명의 기술적 과제는 원추형상을 갖는 회전부재의 외주면에 정제타입의 촉매제가 삽입되는 요홈을 방사상으로 형성시키고, 상기한 회전부재를 동기모터에 의해 회전시킴으로써 촉매제의 투입량이 정확히 규제될 수 있으며, 수증기의 유입을 차단함으로써 촉매제의 손상을 방지할 수 있는 수단을 제공하는 것이다.The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the technical problem of the present invention is to form a groove in which the tablet type catalyst is inserted into the outer peripheral surface of the rotating member having a conical shape radially, the rotating member By rotating by the synchronous motor, the input amount of the catalyst can be precisely regulated, and a means for preventing damage to the catalyst by blocking the inflow of water vapor is provided.

상기한 바와 같은 본 발명의 기술적 과제는, 저부에 경사면을 형성하고, 상기 경사면의 하부에는 촉매제가 토출되는 개구부가 형성되며, 상부에는 커버가 개폐가능하게 결합된 챔버;Technical problem of the present invention as described above, the inclined surface is formed on the bottom, the lower portion of the inclined surface is formed with an opening for discharging the catalyst, the upper chamber is the cover coupled to open and close;

도 2는 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 촉매제 공급장치(100)의 분해 사시도이고, 도 3은 도 2에 도시한 본 발명의 종단면도로서, 촉매제의 저장공간을 제공하는 챔버(10)와, 상기한 챔버(10)의 하부 일측에 결합되어 촉매제의 공급을 단속하는 회전부재(20) 및 제어부로부터 공급된 전원에 의해 회전하는 동기모터(30)로 이루어진다.2 is an exploded perspective view of a catalyst supply device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the present invention shown in Figure 2, a chamber 10 for providing a storage space for the catalyst, It is coupled to the lower side of the chamber 10 is composed of a rotating member 20 for intermittent supply of the catalyst and a synchronous motor 30 to rotate by the power supplied from the controller.

여기서 챔버(10)는, 내부에 저장된 촉매제가 중력에 의해 하부로 포집되도록 저부에 경사면(1)이 형성되며, 하부에는 원형단면을 갖는 회전부재(20)의 결합공간을 제공하는 한편, 촉매제가 토출되는 개구부(3)가 형성된다.Here, the chamber 10, the inclined surface (1) is formed at the bottom so that the catalyst stored therein is collected by the lower portion by gravity, the lower portion provides a coupling space of the rotating member 20 having a circular cross section, while the catalyst is The opening 3 to be discharged is formed.

이와 함께 챔버(10)의 상부에는 내부에 저정된 촉매제(C)가 수분과 접촉하는 것을 방지하도록 장방형의 커버(5)가 개폐가능하게 결합된다.At the same time, a rectangular cover 5 is coupled to the upper portion of the chamber 10 so as to be openable and closed to prevent the catalyst C stored therein from contacting with water.

계속해서 상기한 챔버(10)의 하부에 형성된 개구부(3)의 내측으로부터 회전가능하게 결합되어 세탁기의 초기 동작단계에서 촉매제를 공급시키는 회전부재(20)는, 촉매제의 삽입공간을 제공하는 원형 요홈(11)이 외주면으로부터 방사상으로 각각 형성된다.Subsequently, the rotating member 20 which is rotatably coupled from the inside of the opening 3 formed in the lower part of the chamber 10 and supplies the catalyst in the initial operation stage of the washing machine, has a circular recess providing an insertion space of the catalyst. (11) are formed radially from the outer peripheral surface, respectively.

이때, 상기한 회전부재(20)는 챔버(10)의 하부에 결합된 상태에서 상부에 위치한 촉매제가 중력에 의해 하강하는 과정에서 경사면의 하부에 위치한 원형 요홈(11)의 내측으로 원활히 삽입될 수 있도록 원추형상으로 형성한다.At this time, the rotating member 20 can be smoothly inserted into the inner side of the circular groove 11 located on the lower portion of the inclined surface in the process of descending by the gravity of the catalyst located at the top in the state coupled to the lower portion of the chamber (10). So as to form a cone.

또한, 상기한 원형 요홈(11)의 내측으로는 외주면으로부터 외부방향으로 돌출되도록 원주형상의 돌기(11A)를 각각 기립된 상태로 형성시킴으로써 회전부재(20)의 회전과정에서 상부에 위치한 촉매제를 교반시켜 유동성을 높임으로써 촉매제가 원형 요홈(11)의 내측으로 원활히 삽입되도록 한다.In addition, by stirring the catalyst located in the upper portion in the rotation process of the rotating member 20 by forming the cylindrical projection (11A) in the standing state so as to protrude outward from the outer circumferential surface in the inner side of the circular groove (11). In this case, the catalyst is smoothly inserted into the circular groove 11 by increasing the fluidity.

계속해서 챔버(10)의 측면 일측에 부착되어 회전축 선단에 결합된 회전부재(20)를 회전시키는 동기모터(30)는 제어부로부터 공급된 전원에 의해 회전부재(20)를 간헐 회전시킴으로써 회전수에 비례한 촉매제의 투입량을 정확히 규제한다.Subsequently, the synchronous motor 30, which is attached to one side of the side of the chamber 10 and rotates the rotating member 20 coupled to the front end of the rotating shaft, intermittently rotates the rotating member 20 by the power supplied from the controller, thereby causing the rotational speed to be reduced. Accurately regulate the input of proportional catalyst.

도면중 미설명 부호 13은 회전부재(20)를 회전가능하게 지지하는 보스이고, 부호 7은 상기한 보스(13)가 돌출되도록 챔버(10)에 형성한 관통공이다.In the drawings, reference numeral 13 denotes a boss that rotatably supports the rotating member 20, and reference numeral 7 denotes a through hole formed in the chamber 10 so that the boss 13 protrudes.

상기와 같은 구성을 갖는 본 발명의 작용을 이하에서 설명한다.The operation of the present invention having the above configuration will be described below.

본 발명에 의한 세탁기용 촉매제 공급장치(100)는, 세탁수의 전기분해를 이용하여 세탁이 이루어지는 무세제 방식 세탁기에서 수도와 전기분해장치 사이의 세탁수 공급경로상에 설치된다.The catalyst supply device 100 for a washing machine according to the present invention is installed on a washing water supply path between a tap water and an electrolysis device in a detergent-free washing machine in which washing is performed using electrolysis of washing water.

이와 같은 본 발명은 통상의 상태에서는 촉매제의 저장공간을 제공하며, 특히 이와 같은 과정에서 챔버(10)의 하부가 회전부재(20)에 의해 완전히 밀폐되어수증기가 챔버(10)의 내부로 유입되는 것을 차단하며, 이에 따라 수증기에 취약한 촉매제를 장시간 보관할 경우에도 수증기에 의한 촉매제의 변질을 방지할 수 있다.The present invention as described above provides a storage space for the catalyst in a normal state, and in particular, the lower part of the chamber 10 is completely enclosed by the rotating member 20 in such a process so that steam is introduced into the chamber 10. This prevents the deterioration of the catalyst caused by water vapor even when the catalyst vulnerable to water vapor is stored for a long time.

계속해서 이와 같은 과정에서 세탁을 개시함으로써 도시안된 제어부로부터 세탁수의 양에 따라 일정한 시간동안 전원이 인가되면, 동기모터(30)가 도 4와 같이 회전부재(20)를 일정한 회전수 만큼 회전시킨다.If the power is applied for a predetermined time according to the amount of wash water from the control unit (not shown) by starting washing in this process, the synchronous motor 30 rotates the rotating member 20 by a predetermined number of revolutions as shown in FIG. .

상기한 바와 같이 동기모터(30)가 회전하면, 회전부재(20)의 원형 요홈(11)에 삽입된 촉매제(C)가 화살표와 같이 순차적으로 하부 방향으로 낙하하여 세탁수를 생성시키는 전기장치의 내부로 투입된다.As described above, when the synchronous motor 30 rotates, the catalyst (C) inserted into the circular groove 11 of the rotating member 20 sequentially descends as shown by the arrow to generate washing water. It is injected inside.

또한, 이와 같은 과정에서 회전부재(20)의 돌기(11A)가 촉매제(C)를 교반시킴으로써 촉매제(C)의 일부가 고착된 상태에서도 원활한 유동이 가능하다.In addition, the protrusion 11A of the rotating member 20 stirs the catalyst C in this process, so that a smooth flow is possible even when a part of the catalyst C is fixed.

한편, 이와 같은 과정에서 동기모터(30)가 한바퀴 회전하면, 회전부재(20)에 형성된 원형 요홈(11)의 수량만큼 촉매제(C)가 투입됨에 따라 동기모터(30)의 회전수에 비례하여 촉매제(C)의 투입량이 결정되므로 동기모터(30)의 회전수를 제어함으로써 촉매제(C)의 투입량을 규제한다.On the other hand, when the synchronous motor 30 is rotated one step in this process, as the amount of the catalyst (C) is injected in the amount of the circular groove 11 formed in the rotating member 20 in proportion to the number of revolutions of the synchronous motor 30 Since the input amount of the catalyst (C) is determined, the input amount of the catalyst (C) is regulated by controlling the rotation speed of the synchronous motor 30.

상기한 과정에 따라 촉매제(C)의 투입이 완료되면, 제어부는 동기모터(30)에 인가된 전원을 차단시키며, 이와 같이 동기모터(30)가 정지되면, 챔버(10)의 하부가 회전부재(20)에 의해 완전히 밀폐됨으로써 수증기가 챔버(10)의 내부로 유입되는 것이 방지되는 한편, 수증기에 의한 촉매제(C)의 변질이 방지된다.When the addition of the catalyst (C) is completed according to the above process, the control unit cuts off the power applied to the synchronous motor 30, when the synchronous motor 30 is stopped in this way, the lower portion of the chamber 10 is a rotating member By being completely sealed by 20, water vapor is prevented from flowing into the chamber 10, while deterioration of the catalyst C by water vapor is prevented.

이상에서 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명에 의한 세탁기용 촉매제 공급장치(100)는, 원추형상을 갖는 회전부재(20)의 외주면에 촉매제(C)가 삽입되는 원형 요홈(11)을 방사상으로 각각 형성시키고, 상기한 회전부재(20)를 동기모터(30)에 의해 회전시킴으로써 촉매제(C)의 투입량을 정확히 규제할 수 있다.As described above, the catalyst supply device 100 for a washing machine according to the present invention radially forms circular grooves 11 into which the catalyst C is inserted into the outer circumferential surface of the rotating member 20 having a conical shape. By rotating the rotating member 20 by the synchronous motor 30 can be precisely regulated the amount of the catalyst (C).

또한, 본 발명은 챔버(10)의 하부가 회전부재(20)에 의해 밀폐되어 장시간의 사용시에도 수증기가 챔버(10)의 내부로 유입되는 것을 차단함으로써 촉매제(C)의 손상을 방지할 수 있는 등의 많은 효과가 있다.In addition, according to the present invention, the lower portion of the chamber 10 is sealed by the rotating member 20, thereby preventing damage to the catalyst C by preventing water vapor from flowing into the chamber 10 even when used for a long time. There are many effects such as.

이상에서는 본 발명을 특정의 바람직한 실시예에 대하여 도시하고 설명하였으나, 본 발명은 상기한 실시예에 한정되지 아니하며, 특허청구의 범위에서 청구하는 본 발명의 요지를 벗어남이 없이 당해 발명이 속하는 분야에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자라면 누구든지 다양한 변형이 가능할 것이다.While the invention has been shown and described with respect to certain preferred embodiments, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but in the field of which the invention pertains without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed in the claims. Any person with ordinary knowledge will be able to make various modifications.
