The present invention relates to a two-tank washing machine having a washing tank and a dehydrating tank, respectively, and in particular, to improve the position fixing force of the control panel reciprocating left and right to selectively supply the washing water to the washing tank or the dewatering tank so that a smooth water supply stroke is achieved. The first, second, third and fourth fixing grooves are formed on the upper surface of the control panel, and the first, second and third elastic pieces for selectively contacting and fixing the position of the control panel are integrally formed on the switch body. In addition, the control panel is prevented from flowing due to the user's mistake or impact, and the smooth washing process is progressed, and the parts are deleted during manufacturing, which reduces the labor, reduces the cost, and improves workability and productivity. The present invention relates to a water supply device for a double tank washing machine.

1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional two-type washing machine, comprising: a washing tank 1 equipped with washing blades 12 for washing and rinsing;

A dehydration tank (2) for dewatering the laundry which has been washed and rinsed in the washing tank (1);

It consists of a control panel (3) for reciprocating by the knob (31) to discharge the washing water to the nozzle (36) to selectively supply the washing water to the washing tank (1) or dehydration tank (2).

In addition, since the washing motor 11 and the dewatering motor 21 are installed at the lower parts of the washing tank 1 and the dehydrating tank 2, the rotational force is transmitted to the washing blade 12 and the dewatering tank 1. Ensure a smooth laundry administration.

In addition, when the washing water discharged from the nozzle 36 is supplied to the washing tank 1 by selection of the control panel 3, the washing water is supplied through the first inlet hole 61, and is supplied to the dewatering tank 2. Is supplied through the second inlet hole 62 along the guide passage 6, and the washing water can be supplied to the washing tank 1 or the dewatering tank 2 by the position selection of the nozzle 36. It is supplied.

Two tank washing machine according to the above configuration, first put the laundry in the washing tank (1), and after supplying the appropriate amount of washing water and detergent, and supplying power to the washing machine, the washing motor 11 is driven to wash the wings ( 12) rotates to wash.

After the washing and rinsing is completed, the laundry is taken out of the washing tank 1 and placed in the dehydrating tank 2 to proceed with a dehydration operation to remove the washing water remaining in the laundry, thereby completing all the steps of washing the laundry.

At this time, the stroke of the washing machine is largely divided into washing, rinsing, and dehydrating stroke. The washing stroke is performed in the washing tank 1, the dehydrating stroke is performed in the dehydrating tank 2, and the rinsing stroke is performed in the washing tank 1 or dewatering. Since it is carried out in the tank (2), the wash water supplied to the washing machine to be selectively supplied to the washing tank (1) or dehydration tank (2).

On the other hand, Figure 2 is a functional diagram for supplying the washing water to the conventional washing tank, Figure 3 is a functional diagram for supplying the washing water to the conventional dewatering tank, the first and second fixing grooves 31 on both sides of the upper surface of the control panel (3) ) 32 is formed, the elastic member 45 is coupled to the corresponding contact and firmly fixed to the control panel (3) is configured to be projected downward to the switch body (4).

In this way, when the knob 35 is moved all the way to the left (centered on the drawing), the second fixing groove 32 and the elastic member 45 of the control panel 3 come into contact with each other to supply the washing water to the washing tank 1. When the knob 35 is moved all the way to the right, the first fixing groove 31 and the elastic member 45 of the control panel 3 come into contact with each other to supply wash water to the dehydration tank 2.

At this time, the control panel 3 and the nozzle 36 move together according to the operation of the knob 35, and as shown in FIG. 1, when the knob 35 is moved to the left and fixed to the left, the nozzle 36 The discharge position coincides with the center of the first inflow hole 61 so that the washing water discharged from the nozzle 36 is supplied to the washing tank 1, and when the knob 35 is moved to the right end, the discharge water is discharged from the nozzle 36. The washed water is discharged to the second inlet hole 62 along the guide passage 6 and is supplied to the dehydration tank 2.

However, the two-type washing machine made as described above, the control panel (3) naturally flows due to the user's mistake of operation and impact, so that other portions than the first and second fixing grooves (31) and (32) are different from the elastic member (45). When in contact with the use of inconvenience and cumbersome problems occur.

That is, the control panel 3 is resisted by the elastic force of the elastic member 45 and is fixed while being positioned while the first fixing groove 31 or the second fixing groove 32 is compressed, but the elastic force of the elastic member 45 is fixed. Deteriorates with time and is fixed by the gentle inclined surface of the control panel 3 and one contact resistance, so that the control panel 3 is not firmly fixed by the elastic member 45.

At this time, the control panel 3 flows due to an impact generated during operation of the washing machine or an impact applied from the outside, and is fixed at an incorrect position, so that the washing water discharged from the nozzle 36 is discharged from the first inlet 61. The case where it is discharged to the second inlet 62 at the same time occurs.

In addition, if the user pushes the knob 35 of the control panel 3 with a force greater than the crimp resistance of the elastic member 45 when the user moves, the control panel 3 is not affected by the elastic member 45 and is pushed back again. Such defects will occur.

Therefore, the washing water is not supplied to the washing tank 1 or the dewatering tank 2 at the user's option, and the washing water is supplied to the washing tank 1 and the dewatering tank 2 at the same time, so that the user carefully removes the knob ( It is necessary to move the control panel 3 to fix the position of the control panel 3, and also causes the problem of lowering the reliability of the product according to the above-described problems and lowering the preference.

In addition, since the elastic member 45 is manufactured separately, the manufacturing cost is increased accordingly, and the working time is increased due to the process of coupling the elastic member 45, and the productivity is also lowered. .

The present invention to solve and solve the above problems,

It is an object of the present invention to provide a water supply device of a two-type washing machine that can firmly fix the control panel reciprocating left and right to supply washing water selectively to the washing tank and the dehydrating tank.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention,

First, second, third, and fourth fixing grooves are formed on the upper surface of the control panel, and the first elastic piece and corresponding contact with the first and second fixing grooves and the corresponding contact with the third and fourth fixing grooves, respectively. By forming the second and third elastic pieces integrally to the switch body, the control panel is firmly positioned according to the user's choice, so that the washing process can be smoothly carried out, and since no defects occur, reliability and preference for the product Improved, it is possible to reduce the production cost, increase productivity and work efficiency by forming the first, second, third elastic piece integrally to the switch body.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail by the accompanying drawings using the same member reference numerals for the same members and parts as in the prior art.

It passes through 61 and is supplied to the washing tank 1.

In addition, when the user grabs the knob 35 and pushes it to the right to supply the washing water to the dehydration tank 2, the first elastic piece 41 is relaxed and contracted and correspondingly contacts the first fixing groove 31. The third elastic piece 43 and the fourth fixing groove 34 correspond to each other to fix the position of the control panel 3, wherein the washing water discharged from the nozzle 36 is formed along the guide passage 6. 2 is supplied to the dehydration tank 2 through the inlet hole 62.

In this case, the second and third elastic pieces 42 and 43 are opposite to the traveling direction so that the control panel 3 smoothly reciprocates left and right, that is, when the washing water is supplied to the washing tank 1, the control panel 3 The second elastic piece 42 for fixing position) is formed so that its end faces in the left direction, and the third elastic piece 43 for positioning the control panel 3 when supplying wash water to the dehydration tank 2 is provided. Is preferably formed so that its end faces in the right direction.

On the other hand, in the present invention by pushing the knob 35 with a strong force to move the control panel 3 or by the impact generated during the driving of the washing machine and the impact applied from the outside, such a conventional defect does not occur.

That is, the first and second fixing grooves 31 and 32 and the first elastic piece 41 correspond to each other and generate contact resistance, and further, the third and fourth fixing grooves 33 and 34 and the first and second fixing grooves 31 and 32 are in contact with each other. The second and third elastic pieces 42 and 43 are in contact with each other to generate contact resistance, thereby generating contact resistance at two points, thereby firmly fixing the control panel 3 so that no defect occurs.

At this time, the depth of the first, second, third, fourth fixing grooves 31, 32, 33, 34 and the first, second, third elastic pieces 41, 42, 43 The elastic force of the deep, rather than forming a strong, it is desirable that the user can be easily moved and formed to a depth and elastic force enough to be firmly fixed.

In addition, the first, second and third elastic pieces 41, 42, 43 may be manufactured separately and coupled to the switch body 4, but considering the manufacturing cost and workability, the switch body 4 and It is preferable to form integrally.

Thus, by eliminating the elastic member 45 for fixing the position of the conventional control panel (3), the manufacturing cost is reduced by deleting the parts, work efficiency by eliminating the manufacturing process for coupling the elastic member 45 to the switch body (4) This raises the productivity.

In addition, as described above, the control panel 3 is smoothly and firmly positioned so that the user does not have to worry about moving the position of the control panel 3 so that the use of the washing machine is simple and the control panel 3 is firm. As the position is fixed, the performance of the washing machine is improved.

Therefore, the control panel 3 is smoothly and firmly fixed and does not cause a malfunction, the performance is improved, the image of the product is increased, and the preference of the product can be increased by improving the reliability of the product.
