As shown in FIG. 7 , when the transmission member 430 is raised to the maximum height, the upper limit switch 450 detects the position detection tag 435 and the driving motor 410 is rotated in the reverse direction. Accordingly, the transmission member 430 is lowered along the screw shaft 420, and the impeller support pipe 320 is also lowered.

In this way, while washing is in progress, the impeller support pipe 320 moves up and down and the detergent diluent W is sprayed onto the entire area of the tumbler A to be washed.

When the washing proceeds for a predetermined time, the control unit 600 closes the detergent control valve 361 to prevent the detergent from being mixed, and only washing water is sprayed into the tumbler A to rinse the inside of the tumbler A.

When the washing proceeds in this way, a plurality of indicator lights 161 provided on the washing indicator ring 160 are sequentially turned on to indicate the washing progress status to the user.

When all the indicators 161 are turned on, the user separates the tumbler (A) from the tumbler loading plate (200) c. When the tumbler (A) is separated from the tumbler loading plate 200, the control unit 600 determines that the tumbler (A) is separated by the detection signal of the tumbler detection sensor 240, and the washing water supply pump 340 and the driving motor 410 ) to cut off the power supply.

The user who has separated the tumbler (A) from the tumbler loading plate 200 moves the tumbler (A) to the sink 140, then washes the outside of the tumbler (A) and completes the washing process.

Meanwhile, FIGS. 8 and 9 are views showing a modified example of the tumbler washing machine 1 . As shown, the tumbler washer 1 may include a drop-down cover 500 on the top plate 110 . The drop-down cover 500 is provided to cover the upper portion of the tumbler A loaded on the tumbler stacking plate 200 .

The drop-down cover 500 is provided so as to be lifted up and down by the cover lift drive unit 520 . When the tumbler (A) is loaded on the tumbler loading plate 200 and the tumbler detection sensor 240 detects the tumbler, the control unit 600 drives the cover elevating driving unit 520 to lower the drop-down cover 500 and the tumbler ( Cover the top surface of A).

Then, when the tumbler washing process for the set time is completed, the control unit 600 drives the cover elevating driving unit 520 to raise the drop-down cover 500 . At this time, the upper portion of the main body 100 is provided with a cover height limiting jaw 510 that limits the maximum height of the drop-down cover 500 .

The user can determine whether to wash the tumbler by looking at the position of the drop-down cover 500 .

As described above, in the tumbler washer according to the present invention, a plurality of impellers rotate while the tumbler is fixed, and a nozzle sprays a detergent diluent into the tumbler to wash the tumbler. Thereby, there is an advantage that the tumbler of all materials can be safely washed.

In addition, since the impeller rotates idle inside the tumbler by the angle of the nozzles provided in the plurality of impellers and sprays the detergent diluent, it is possible to evenly spray the detergent diluent over the entire area of the tumbler.

In particular, since the impeller moves up and down repeatedly by the nozzle elevating unit and sprays the detergent diluent, there is an advantage that even a deep tumbler can be cleaned to the floor.

In addition, since the tumbler loading plate acts as a push switch and the washing process is performed only by the user loading the tumbler, the user's use can be simplified.

In addition, there is an advantage that the user can recognize the progress of the current cleaning process by whether a plurality of indicators formed on the edge of the tumbler stacking plate are turned on.

The technical idea of the present invention has been reviewed through the above several embodiments.

It is apparent that those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains can variously modify or change the above-described embodiments from the description of the present invention. In addition, even if not explicitly shown or described, a person of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains may make various modifications including the technical idea according to the present invention from the description of the present invention. is self-evident, which still falls within the scope of the present invention.
