1 is a perspective view of a passive type washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a passive type washing machine according to FIG.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a passive washing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a rotation unit 110, a driving unit 120, and a body unit 130.

The rotary part 110 is formed in a cylindrical shape having an opened upper part to receive the laundry. Specifically, the rotating portion 110 includes a rotating plate 111 and a supporting portion 112. The rotary plate 111 is a cylindrical body and a pore is formed on a side surface thereof. The rotating plate 111 may be formed of a synthetic resin material or a metal material. The lower shaft 113 is fixedly supported by the support portion 112 of the rotary plate 111. The upper side of the rotation part 110 is pressed and rotated by a driving part 120 to be described later.

The rotation plate 111 of the rotation unit 110 is connected to the driving unit 120 and rotates to rotate the laundry contained therein while mixing with water and detergent. The inner surface of the rotary plate 111 may be provided with a groove (not shown) having a concavo-convex shape to increase the contact surface with the laundry.

The support portion 112 of the rotation portion 110 supports the lower portion of the rotation plate 111 and minimizes the frictional force through bearing engagement with the lower shaft 113 of the rotation plate 111 to facilitate rotation. Also, the support 112 may be formed as an adsorbing member and adsorbed on the surface of the body 130 to be fixed.

The driving unit 120 closes the opened top of the rotation unit 110 and rotates the rotation unit 110 as the handle connected to the gear combination 122 rotates. The driving unit 120 rotates the rotation unit 110 manually. The driving part 120 serves to close the upper part of the rotation part 110 and the body part 130 and at the same time to rotate the rotation part 110. Hereinafter, the driving unit 120 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

3 is a detailed configuration diagram of a driving unit of the passive washing apparatus according to FIG.

3, the driving unit 120 includes a gear box 121, a fixing unit 123, a pressure plate 125, and a handle 126. The gear box 121 opens and closes the upper part of the body part 130 and receives the gear combination 122 therein. The gear combination 122 formed inside the gear box 121 is driven by the handle 126 to rotate a pressure plate 125 connected to the upper shaft 124 as an output shaft. For example, the gear combination 122 includes a ring gear 122-1 having an internal gear, an intermediate gear 122-2 and an intermediate gear 122-2, 2) and a gear 122-2 for rotating the upper shaft 124 as an output shaft while the gear teeth are engaged with each other. In other words, the intermediate gear 122-2 and the drive gear 122-3 may be formed inside the ring gear. In this case, the ring gear 122-1 is formed at a gear ratio of 1: 2: 4, the ring gear 122-1: the intermediate gear 122-2: the drive gear 122-3, When rotating, the driving gear 122-3 can cause four wheels to rotate. These gear ratios can vary depending on user settings.

The fixing portion 123 is a bent-type member formed on both sides of the gear box 121 and being drawn or drawn from the gear box 121 and having a variable length. The fixing part 123 presses and fixes the both side surfaces of the body part 130 so that the gear box 121 closes the upper part of the body part 130. [ For example, the fixing portion 123 may be bent in a "┏" shape so as to press the outer surface of the body portion 130. In this case, the bent inner side surface is coated with rubber or silicone material to prevent slipping. When the fixing portion 123 is connected to the inside of the gear box 121 by an elastic body and is pulled out to the outside, the fixing portion 123 can press the outer surface of the body portion 130 by a restoring force to return to the inside. The fixing part 123 may be formed as a pair or a plurality of pairs of gear boxes 121.

The pressure plate 125 is connected to the upper shaft 124, which is located below the gear box 121 and connected to the gear combination 122, and opens and closes the upper portion of the rotary part. The pressure plate 125 is a circular lid, connected to the upper shaft 124 and rotated. In this case, the lower portion of the pressure plate 125 abuts against the rotating portion and is rotated together. The lower portion of the pressure plate 125 may be coated with rubber or silicone to easily contact the upper portion of the rotating portion. Further, the pressure plate 125 can be connected to the upper portion of the rotating portion by fitting or the like, and can rotate integrally. In this case, it is preferable that the pressure plate 125 is formed so as to be vertically adjustable in height according to the height of the rotary part.

The handle 126 is connected to the gear combination 122 and is formed on the top of the gear box 121 to manually manipulate the gear combination 122. For example, the gear combination 122 includes the ring gear 122-1 having the internal gear teeth, the intermediate gear 122-2 and the intermediate gear 122-2 that are meshed with the gear teeth inside the ring gear 122-1, 2 may be formed by a drive gear 122-3 that rotates an upper shaft 124 which is an output shaft while engaging with gear teeth, a handle 126 may be fixedly formed on an upper portion of the ring gear 122-1. Therefore, when the handle 126 is rotated in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, the ring gear 122-1 is rotated, and the upper shaft 124, which is the output shaft, is rotated. The handle 126 may be formed to be foldable and may be formed upright on the upper part of the gear box 121 when used and folded to the upper side of the gear box 121 when not in use.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 again, the body part 130 stores or discharges the effluent discharged from the rotary part 110 while accommodating the rotary part 110 therein. The body portion 130 may be formed of a transparent or semitransparent material, and a discharge port 131 may be formed at one side thereof. The discharge port 131 is preferably formed in a structure capable of opening and closing so as to discharge the effluent discharged from the rotation unit 110. The upper part of the body part 130 is opened and closed by the driving part 120 and one side of the body part 130 and the driving part 120 may be connected by hinge coupling.

4A and 4B are diagrams for explaining a modified embodiment of a rotary plate of a rotary part of the passive type washing machine according to FIG.

Referring to FIGS. 4A and 4B, the rotating plate 111 can be realized in a state where the lower portions of a plurality of perforated plates 111-1 curved in section are connected to each other. In this case, the side surface of each of the perforated plates 111-1 may be vertically rotated to vary the overall circumferential size. In other words, if the amount of laundry is small, the entire circumference of the perforated plate 111-1 is made small, and if the amount of laundry is large, the entire circumference of the perforated plate 111-1 is made large, Can be varied. When the circumferential size of the rotary plate 111 is large, the centrifugal force is increased and the washing force can be increased, so that the entire peripheral size can be increased during dewatering.

In addition, a protrusion 111-2 may be formed on the inner surface of each of the perforated plates 111-1. The projecting portion 111-2 can increase the surface area with the laundry to increase the washing effect. The size and shape of the perforated hole in the perforated plate 111-1 can be variously formed. An overlapping region is formed between the perforated plates 111-1 and the overlapped region increases as the peripheral size decreases. FIG. 4A shows a plurality of the perforated plates 111-1 constituting the rotating plate 111, and FIG. 4B shows a plan view of the rotating plate 111 composed of the plurality of perforated plates 111-1.

In this case, the rotation unit 510, the driving unit 520, and the body unit 530 are the same as those of the same names described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, and a description thereof will be omitted. In addition, the rotation unit 510 is composed of a rotation plate 111 as shown in Figs. 4A and 4B.

The lifting and lowering portion 540 is lifted up and down along the periphery of the outer surface of the rotation portion 510 so that the rotation portion 510 can be opened or folded to adjust the size of the entire periphery. The ascending and descending portion 540 is configured to raise or lower the cylindrical member to adjust the size of the rotating portion 510 whose peripheral size is variable. For example, when the ascending / descending portion 540 ascends and descends, the outer periphery of the rotating portion 510 is pressed to reduce the peripheral size, and when the descending portion 540 descends, the outer peripheral pressure of the rotating portion 510 is released. Fig. 5 shows a state in which the ascending / descending portion 540 descends, and Fig. 6 shows a state in which the ascending / descending portion 540 has ascended.

Hereinafter, the detailed structure of the ascending / descending section 540 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

The presser ring 541 is formed by a cylindrical tube, and the upper portion presses the outer side of the rotation portion. The presser ring 541 moves up and down along the outer surface of the rotating portion. For example, when the presser ring 541 is raised, the rotation part is folded into the inside, and when the presser ring 541 is lowered, it is spread out of the rotation part. The pressing ring 541 may be formed of a metal material or a synthetic resin material, and its size and shape may be changed according to user setting. The presser ring 541 can be supported from the underside by a plurality of support portions 541-1. The support portion 541-1 supports the presser ring 541 while guiding the upward or downward movement of the presser ring 541 in the vertical direction.

The circumferential plate 542 fixes and supports the outer surface of the pressure ring 541. The circumferential plate 542 fixes and supports both sides of the pressure ring 541 formed of a cylindrical tube. The circumferential plate 542 can be raised or lowered by the force transmitted through the pivot shaft 543 by being connected to the pivot shaft 543 to be described later. The circumferential plate 542 may be formed of a metal or synthetic resin material, and its size and shape may be changed according to user setting. For example, the circumferential plate 542 may be formed in a 'Y' shape and the pressure ring 541 may be fixed to both ends thereof.

The pivot shaft 543 is rotatable as seen in the seesaw by the lever 543-1. The pivot shaft 543 is formed inside the body and connected to one side of the circumferential plate 542 and rotates. The pivot shaft 543 can be moved upward or downward by a lever 544 to be described later. In this case, the peripheral plate 542 connected to the rotating shaft 543 also ascends or descends. Therefore, the presser ring 541 connected to the circumferential plate 542 is interlocked to move upward or downward.

The lever 544 is connected to the end portion of the rotary shaft through the engagement portion 544-1 and the rotary shaft 543 is pivoted up and down so that the pressure ring 541 is moved up and down. When the lever 544 is stopped at a predetermined position, the engaging portion 544-1 is provided so that the turning shaft 543 is fixed at the corresponding position. For example, when the lever 544 is lifted upward, the rotary shaft 543, the peripheral plate 542, and the presser ring 541 move in an upward direction. When the lever 544 is lowered downward, The circumferential plate 542, and the presser ring 541 are moved in a downward direction. Accordingly, the circumferential size of the outer wall portion 120 deployed by the pressing ring 541 can be adjusted.
