The present invention relates to a washing machine, and more particularly, to a laundry contamination prevention washing machine that prevents falling laundry from coming into direct contact with the ground even if a part of the laundry falls in the process of taking out the laundry.

1 is a view schematically showing the appearance of a general drum washing machine.

Referring to FIG. 1, a tub 11 having a front opening is provided in a cabinet 10 forming an outer appearance. Such a tub stores washing water and is supported by a damper (not shown).

In the tub 11, a drum 12 having a front opening is provided for loading laundry. This drum 12 is rotated in association with a motor not shown.

The front of the cabinet 10 is provided with a central panel 1 and an upper panel 2 formed above the central panel 1 and a lower panel 3 formed below the central panel 1.

The center panel 1 is formed in front of the front opening portion of the tub 11 and the drum 12, and is provided with a door 4 for opening and closing the opened portion. The upper panel 2 is provided with an operating portion 5 for operating the drum washing machine.

When the washing operation of the drum washing machine is completed, the door (4) is opened to take out the laundered laundry from inside the drum (12).

However, when a large number of small laundry such as socks or handkerchief is taken out of the drum 12, a part of the laundry often falls to the floor. The laundry that has fallen to the floor is contaminated with contaminants and needs to be washed again.

Therefore, there is a need to improve this.

The present invention has been made to improve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a laundry contamination prevention washing machine that prevents laundry from falling directly on the floor in the process of taking out the laundry.

The present invention to achieve the above object is a case forming an appearance; A central panel provided in the case and having a door; And provided in the case provides a laundry contamination prevention washing machine comprising a lower panel that receives the laundry discharged through the door falls.

The lower end of the lower panel is hinged to the case, the upper end of the lower panel is characterized in that the detachably coupled to the case.

The lower panel is characterized in that the handle is further provided.

An inner side of the lower panel is further provided with an auxiliary plate protruding to the outside.

A guide part for guiding the auxiliary plate is provided inside the lower panel.

The auxiliary plate is characterized in that the auxiliary handle is provided.

The lower panel is characterized in that coupled to the case and detachable.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described an embodiment of a laundry contamination prevention washing machine according to the present invention.

In this process, the thicknesses of the lines and the sizes of the components shown in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity and convenience of explanation.

In addition, the terms described below are terms defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention, which may vary depending on the intention or custom of the user, the operator.

Therefore, definitions of these terms should be made based on the contents throughout this specification.

2 is a view showing a schematic appearance of a drum washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a view showing a state in which the auxiliary plate according to an embodiment of the present invention mounted on the lower panel.

2 and 3, the case 20 forms the appearance of the washing machine. Inside the case 20 is provided with a tub 21 having a front opening to store the wash water. In addition, the inside of the tub 21 is rotated in association with the motor (not shown) the drum 22 is opened in the front in order to load the laundry.

An upper portion formed above the center panel 41 and the center panel 41 on one side of the case 20, preferably on the front of the case 20 corresponding to the opened tub 21 and the drum 22. The lower panel 51 formed below the panel 31 and the center panel 41 is formed.

The center panel 41 is formed in front of the front opening portion of the tub 21 and the drum 22, and has a door 42 for opening and closing the opened portion. In addition, the upper panel 31 is provided with an operation unit 32 for the operation of the drum washing machine.

The lower panel 51 positioned below the center panel 41 receives the laundry discharged through the door 42 from falling.

The lower end of the lower panel 51 is coupled to the case 20 and the hinge 52, the lower panel 51 is rotated by using the hinge 52 as the rotation axis. And, the upper end of the lower panel 51 is coupled to the case 20 and detachable. The upper panel and the case 20 of the lower panel 51 may be coupled using a magnetic force or a hook, it is possible to adopt a variety of other detachable coupling method. The lower panel 51 is provided with a handle 53 to transmit the user's force.

On the other hand, the inner side of the lower panel 51 is provided with an auxiliary plate 61 for protruding to the outside. The auxiliary plate 61 is built in the lower panel 51 in a state where the upper portion of the lower panel 51 is coupled with the case 20. In addition, the upper part of the lower panel 51 is separated from the case 20 to increase the range of supporting the laundry falling from the lower panel 51 when the lower panel 51 is rotated.

At this time, the guide plate 54 for guiding the sliding of the auxiliary plate 61 is provided inside the lower panel 51 so that the auxiliary plate 61 can be stably moved inside the lower panel 51. Therefore, both end portions of the auxiliary plate 61 are inserted into the guide portion 54 to allow stable sliding. The guide portion 54 may be provided with means for preventing the complete separation of the auxiliary plate (61).

In addition, the auxiliary plate 61 is provided with an auxiliary handle 62 for applying an external force for moving the auxiliary plate 61 by the user.

On the other hand, the lower panel 51 may be coupled to the case 20 detachably.

Referring to the operation of the laundry contamination prevention washing machine having the structure as described above are as follows.

When the washing process of the washing machine is finished, the user opens the door 42 to take out the laundry which has been partially washed in the drum 22.

At this time, the user grasps the handle 53 and releases the engaging portion of the lower panel 51, and then rotates the lower panel 51 using the hinge 52 as the rotation axis, so that the inner surface of the lower panel 51 The laundry 42 discharged from the door 42 may be supported.

Thus, even if a part of the laundry discharged through the door 42 falls down, the dropped laundry falls on the inside of the clean lower panel 51 instead of the dirty ground to prevent contamination of the laundry.

On the other hand, when the user pulls the auxiliary plate 61 which is additionally provided inside the lower panel 51 by using the auxiliary handle 62, the auxiliary plate 61 in the lower panel 51 by the guide portion 54. It protrudes and increases the range for supporting the laundry.

On the other hand, when the lower panel 51 is detachably coupled to the case 20, in order to support the laundry discharged through the door 42, after separating the lower panel 51 from the case 20, The lower panel 51 is positioned at the point where the laundry falls.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. I will understand.

Accordingly, the true scope of protection of the present invention should be defined by the following claims.

As described above, the washing machine for preventing laundry contamination according to the present invention has an effect of preventing laundry from directly falling onto the ground and being contaminated in the process of taking out the laundry after washing is completed.
