Since the same components are the same as the conventional components except that the members are installed, the same components will be briefly described using the same names and the same reference numerals.)

The washing machine to which the present invention is applied, as shown in these, is equipped with a rotary blade 40 on the water tank 20 and the inner bottom for storing fresh water in the washing and rinsing stroke inside the main body 10 forming the outer body. The washing tank 30 is configured. Rotating blade 40 is composed of a laundry rod 41 and a radial wing portion 42 protruding upward in the upper surface of the body 43 of the disc, the power transmission device 52 and Linked. The lower part of the water tank 20, that is, the inner bottom of the main body 10, the drive unit 50 composed of a motor 51 and a power transmission device for selectively or simultaneously rotating the washing tank 30 and the rotary blade 40 is Is installed.

And the washing tank 30 is a plurality of dehydration holes 31 are perforated throughout the wall surface, the balancer 60 filled with saline in the circumferential direction is installed inside the upper end to maintain the balance of the washing tank during the washing machine operation.

On the other hand, if you want to wash the laundry made of a soft material by mounting the partition member 100 of the mesh inside the washing tank 30 by preventing the rotary wing 40 and the laundry directly contact, to prevent friction damage.

Washing tub 30 partition member 100 is installed in the washing tank 30 in the horizontal direction to partition the inside up and down so that the laundry is located on the upper side, which is a ring-shaped hinge member 110 and the center It consists of a plurality of supports 120 and the partition network 130 provided on the upper side of the support 120 to be folded.

Ring-shaped hinge member 110 is formed in the outer circumferentially concave in the circumferentially fastening groove 112, the fastening space 113 associated with the fastening groove 112 in the lower end side is dug. The fastening space 113 is a space in which an end of the support 120 is rotatably coupled, and is provided at equal intervals along the lower end of the outer circumferential surface of the hinge member 110.

The support 120 made of an elastic material has a predetermined length extending in a rod shape, and one end thereof is coupled to the fastening space 113 of the hinge member 110 so as to be rotatable, so that the support member 120 is provided radially about the hinge member 110. do. To this end, holes 121 are respectively drilled in one end of the support 120, and an annular fastening ring 111 penetrates the hole 121 to be seated and fixed to the fastening groove 112 of the hinge member 110. do.

And the mesh net 130 made of a mesh is installed so as to cover these on the upper side of the support 120, the vertical flow of the wash water is free, but the laundry is prevented from falling into the support 120. At this time, the partition network 130 limits the width of the support 120 is unfolded when the partition member 100 is installed, the hinge member 11 serving as a central portion slightly protrudes upwards and its unfolded shape is a truncated cone shape. It is preferable to make it. This is to increase the laundry holding force while preventing the partition member 100 from sinking to the bottom of the washing tank 30. Therefore, the support 120 in which the partition net 130 is installed is made to be foldable as a kind of priority with respect to the hinge member 110. That is, since one end of each support 120 is rotatably coupled using the fastening ring 111 of the hinge member 110, it can be folded and unfolded about the center.

In addition, in order to install the partition member 100 in the washing tub 30, the support 120 is extended and the other end thereof is inserted into the dehydration hole 31, and the installation thereof is completed, so that the support 120 can be easily installed. At the other end of the stepped portion 122 is smaller than the inner diameter of the dehydration hole 31 formed in the inner wall of the washing tank 30 is formed.

As a result, the step portion 122 is inserted into the dehydration hole 31 at a higher position so that the support 120 and the rotary blade 40 do not contact each other while the support 120 of the collapsible partition member 100 is extended. If it is, the support 120 is maintained by the fixed state inside the washing tub 30 is partitioned up and down, it is easy to attach and detach without a separate tool. On the other hand, in the state in which the partition member 100 is unfolded, the step portion 122 of the support 120 does not exactly coincide with the dehydration hole 31. In this case, the support 120 made of elastic material is slightly bent If the step portion 122 is inserted into the closest dehydration hole 31, no excessive force is generated as a whole, and the partition member 100 is not detached without applying an artificial force.

Next will be described the operation and effect of the washing machine using the partition member 100 configured as described above.

First, when the partition member 100 is opened and each step portion 122 is inserted into the dewatering hole 31, the inside of the washing tank 30 is partitioned up and down by the partition network 130. At this time, in order to prevent the rotary blade 40 in the forward and reverse motion to contact the partition member 100, the support member 120 of the partition member 100 is installed at a position higher than the upper horizontal line of the rotary blade 40 It is desirable to.

In such a state, when laundry such as lingerie or a towel is put into the washing tub 30 and then a washing machine control unit (not shown) is operated, washing water and detergent are supplied and power is applied to the motor 51. The power transmission device 52, which receives the power of the motor 51, rotates the rotary blade 40 forward and backward through the rotation shaft 53 to wash the laundry generated in the washing tank 30.

That is, the laundry is performed in the upper part of the partition member 100, by the partition member 100 that partitions the washing tank 30 up and down to the frictional force between the washing water flow and the upper inner wall surface of the washing tank 30, etc. at the top thereof. Only washing is done.

As a result, the friction between the rotary blade 40 and the laundry, which rotates forward and reverse at high speed, is directly prevented, thereby preventing friction damage and lint.

On the other hand, when washing the general laundry is not a soft material to remove the step portion 122 of the support 120 to remove it after using the washing machine can perform a general washing. That is, when the partition member 100 is removed, the stepped portion 122 of the support 120, which is simply fitted in the dehydration hole 31, is pulled out and folded and separated from the washing tank 30.

At this time, the partition member 100, as shown in Figure 4, because the support 120 is folded around the hinge member 110 can be easily stored therein.

Washing machine partition member of the washing machine according to the present invention is folded around the hinge member and consists of a plurality of radially provided support and the partition network to prevent the laundry from falling over it, the end of the support is fitted into the washing tank dehydration hole to be coupled A stepped section is formed.

Therefore, when the support is opened and each step is inserted into the dehydration hole, the inside of the washing tank is divided up and down. When washing the laundry of the soft material in such a state, the friction with the rotating blade is prevented from being directly prevented from causing damage to the laundry. In addition, since the partition member is installed by simply inserting the stepped portion of the support into the existing dehydration hole without a separate tool, there is an advantage that it is convenient to use.
