Description

Washing machine inclined when opening the door}

The present invention relates to a drum washing machine, and more particularly, to a washing machine inclined when the door is opened so that the washing tank is inclined from the horizontal direction to the upper direction when the door is opened so that the laundry is easily stored and withdrawn.

1 is a perspective view showing a general drum washing machine.

As shown in FIG. 1, the drum washing machine operates in a state in which the rotation axis of the washing tub 5 installed in the washing machine case 1 is parallel to the ground or within 45 ° from the parallel, and lies almost in the horizontal direction. It is configured to be made.

Such a drum washing machine is opened so that the front part of the washing tub 5 is able to put in or take out laundry, and the opening part is configured to be opened and closed through the door 8.

In addition, a detergent container 2 and a function operation unit 3 are installed on the front upper portion of the washing machine case 1.

2 is a cross-sectional view showing the internal configuration of the drum washing machine as described above.

In the drum washing machine, the washing tub 5 is positioned in the washing machine case 1 in a horizontal direction, and the front of the washing tub 5 is provided with a door 8 so that laundry can be put in or taken out of the washing machine.

The washing tub 5 is composed of an inner tub 7 and an outer tub 6, and a driving device 9 is installed at the rear of the outer tub 6 so as to rotate the inner tub 7.

In addition, a drain port 6a is formed in the outer tub 6 to discharge the wash water, and a drain hose 6b connected to the outside of the washing machine case 1 is connected to the drain port 6a.

In addition, a gasket 4 is installed at the front of the outer tub 6 and at the door 8 installation portion of the washing machine case 1 to prevent the washing water from leaking.

However, the drum washing machine according to the prior art as described above has an inconvenient problem of removing all the laundry contained in the washing tub 5 only after bending the waist several times to complete the washing from the washing tub 5. .

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, it is to provide a washing machine inclined when opening the door to improve the convenience when the laundry is put or removed by the laundry tank is configured to be inclined in the upper direction when the door is opened.

Washing machine inclined when the door is opened according to the present invention for realizing the above object is a washing machine case with a front opening; A washing tub positioned in a horizontal direction with the ground in the washing machine case and washing the interior; Damper means for supporting the washing tank in a washing machine case; A door installed to be opened and closed at an opening of the washing machine case; It is possible to characterized in that the washing tank includes a washing tank tilting means for inclining the washing tank to at least one of the upper side and the lower side when the door is opened.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 and 4 is an internal configuration diagram showing a washing machine inclined when opening the door according to the present invention, Figure 3 is a state diagram before the door opening, Figure 4 is a state diagram when the door opening.

The present invention provides a washing machine case 50 having a front opening, a washing tank 55 positioned horizontally with the ground inside the washing machine case 50, and washing the interior of the washing tank 55, and washing the washing tank 55 with a washing machine case ( The damper mechanism 60 supported in 50 and the door 70 installed so that opening and closing of the said washing machine case 50 are possible are comprised.

In particular, between the door 70 and the washing tank 55 includes a washing tank tilt lever 80 to incline the washing tank 55 by a predetermined angle when the door 70 is opened.

Here, the door 70 is connected to the hinge 71 from the lower side of the opening of the washing machine case 50 is installed to open from the upper side to the lower side. In addition, a flow preventing cap 75 is installed inside the door 70.

The washing tank tilt lever 80 is installed to protrude from the hinge portion 71 of the door 70 to the inside of the washing machine case 50, and the tilt lever 80 is rotated at the same time when the door 70 is opened. It is configured to lift the washing tank 55 by a predetermined angle in the upward direction.

Of course, the bottom of the washing tank 55 is formed with a contact protrusion 56 protruding downward so that the protruding lever is in contact.

Here, the tilt lever 80 is preferably protruded at a predetermined distance from the contact protrusion 56 to lift the washing tank 55 from the time when the door 70 is opened for a predetermined time or more.

On the other hand, the damper mechanism 60 is a shock absorber type is connected to the washing machine case 50 in the tension coil spring 61 connected to the washing machine case 50 at the upper portion of the washing tank 55, Bar damper 65, the damper 65 is rotatably installed in the washing tank 55 and the washing machine case 50 so that the washing tank 55 can be inclined as the door 70 is opened and closed. .

Referring to the operation of the inclined washing machine when opening the door according to the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

When the door 70 is pulled to put the laundry in the washing tank 55, the door 70 is opened around the lower hinge part 71, and the tilt lever 80 connected to the hinge part 71 also includes the door ( At the same time as the opening of 70), it rotates upward.

When the door 70 is opened for a predetermined time or more, the tilt lever 80 lifts the washing tank 55 in an upward direction according to the opening amount of the door 70 while the contact protrusion 56 of the washing tank 55 is closed.

Therefore, as the inlet of the washing tank 55 increases, the laundry can be easily put in as it is inclined toward the user. Of course, after washing is completed, it is also possible to easily take out the laundry when taking out the laundry from the inside of the washing tank (55).

After storing the laundry in the washing tank 55 as described above, when the door 70 is closed, the tilt lever 80 for tilting the washing tank 55 is rotated downward so that the washing tank 55 is damper mechanism 60. Positioned in a horizontal state according to the initial setting state of, the washing operation is made in this state.

Since the washing machine inclined when the door is opened as described above is configured to tilt the washing tank as the door is opened, the convenience of the laundry is increased or removed, and the inside of the washing tank can be easily examined.
