Description

washer

The present invention relates to a washing machine, and more particularly, to a washing machine capable of automatically injecting a rinsing agent and preventing foreign substances from penetrating into the rinsing agent valve when the rinsing agent is added.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of a washing machine having a conventional detergent container, Figure 5 is an enlarged perspective view of the detergent container of FIG. As shown in these figures, a conventional washing machine includes a casing 101 having a substantially rectangular cylindrical shape that forms an outer appearance, a top cover 103 coupled to an upper portion of the casing 101, and a lower portion of the casing 101. It has a base plate 105 coupled to.

Inside the casing 101, a cylindrical outer tub provided to accommodate wash water and a washing tank 107 provided inside the tank to perform washing, rinsing, and dehydration are rotatably installed.

An opening 109 is formed in the central area of the top cover 103 to accommodate and take out the laundry, and a door 111 that can be folded to open and close the opening 109 is installed at the rear edge of the opening 109. have. In the front region of the top cover 103 is provided an operation unit 113 is provided with a plurality of operation switches for the operation of the washing machine, the rear region of the top cover 103 is not shown to supply washing water from an external water supply device The water supply line is connected. The water supply pipe is provided with a pair to supply cold water and hot water, and the lower side of the water supply pipe is provided with a detergent container accommodating portion 115 having one side open toward the washing tank 107 side.

At this time, the water supply opening is formed on the upper side of the detergent container accommodating portion 115 to communicate with the water supply pipe, the detergent container accommodating portion 115 is a detergent container 117 to be able to slide out along the open side It is prepared. As shown in FIG. 5, the detergent container 117 is divided into a detergent accommodating part 119 for accommodating powder detergent and a rinsing accommodating part 121 for accommodating a rinsing agent. The filter member 129 is rotatably coupled to the upper portion of the detergent accommodating part 119 to block the detergent mass from flowing into the washing tank 107. The rinse agent accommodating part 121 has a discharge path 123 having a discharge port 125 configured to discharge the rinsing agent supplied and received from the outside to the outside, and a discharge path cover 127 provided to surround the discharge path 123. .

With such a configuration, when washing laundry, the detergent container 117 contained in the detergent container accommodating part 115 is taken out and is suitable for the detergent accommodating part 119 and the rinsing agent accommodating part 121 according to the amount of the laundry. Add a positive powder detergent and rinse agent. After the detergent and the rinsing agent are added, when the washing operation is started, the powder detergent contained in the detergent accommodating part 119 is dissolved in a liquid state by the washing water supplied from the water supply pipe, and is introduced into the washing tank 107.

On the other hand, when the washing stroke is completed, a rinsing stroke to sequentially proceed with water supply, rinsing, draining, and at this time, when the last step of the rinsing stroke, the water supply valve is opened to supply the washing water to the rinsing water receiving unit 121. The rinsing agent contained in the rinsing agent accommodating part 121 together with the supplied washing water is introduced into the washing tank 107.

However, in such a conventional washing machine, in order to supply the rinsing agent to the washing tank before the last rinsing administration, the user must directly put the rinsing agent into the rinsing agent container before starting the washing, which is not only troublesome, but also the rinsing agent itself. Forgetting that happens. In addition, the rinsing agent accommodating part provided in the detergent container has a problem that the size of the rinsing agent accommodating part is small and is located on the rear side of the washing tank, so that the rinsing agent is not easily added.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a washing machine which can not only automatically inject a rinsing agent into the washing tank, but also prevent foreign substances from penetrating into the rinsing agent valve when the rinsing agent is automatically added.
