The present invention relates to a structure of a washing machine, and more particularly, to a small washing machine using air pressure to reciprocate an impact rod using compressed air to impact laundry and washing water.

Currently commercially available washing machines can be roughly divided into vortex washing machines, agitated washing machines and drum washing machines according to their washing methods.

As shown in FIG. 1, if the washing rod 30 called an agitator built in the center of a washing tank rotates regularly, the stirring blade 31 formed in the side surface of the washing rod 30 flows into water. The laundry is washed by washing the laundry with the laundry rod 30 and the walls of the washing tank 6 by the flow of water.

The washing machine is less damaged than the vortex washing machine, the laundry is not tangled well, the washing capacity is large, but not only consumes a lot of power, but also wash the bulky laundry due to the laundry rod 30 formed in the center of the washing tank Not suitable for doing

Vortex washing machine is one of the most widely used method of rotating the laundry by rotating the pulsator 40 rotatably attached to the lower end of the washing tank 6 to generate a swirl-like water flow.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the drum type washing machine mounts a cylindrical drum 70 having a plurality of water outlets horizontally in the water storage tank 61 and rotates the protrusions in the drum 70. 71) is configured to wash the laundry to the upper space in the drum (70) and to fall downward by gravity, it is suitable for large capacity washing.

In particular, the washing machine for home use is widely used vortex washer to wash by rotating the pulsator 40 to form a water flow, it can be roughly divided into a fully automatic washing machine and a semi-automatic or manual two-wash washing machine.

As shown in FIG. 3, a conventional fully automatic washing machine of a conventional washing machine rotatably mounts the washing tank 6 in which a plurality of water outlets are formed on the side wall in a reservoir 61 storing water for washing. 6) rotatably attaches the pulsator 40 for generating water flow to the bottom of the water tank, and provides power for driving the washing tank 6 and the pulsator 40 to the outer bottom of the reservoir 61. As a means, a reduction gear assembly 62 or the like driven by the electric motor 50 and the electric motor 50 to reduce the rotational speed of the electric motor 50 is attached to the rotary shaft of the reduction gear assembly 62. When washing by connecting the pulsator 40 and the pulsator (40) by rotating the pulsator (40) to wash the washing water in the reservoir 61 to form a washing water flow by applying a mechanical force to the laundry to be washed, After completion, the reservoir After the washing water in the tank 61 is completely drained, the washing tank 6 is rotated at a high speed so that the washing water contained in the laundry is dewatered through the water outlet of the washing tank 6.

In the case of such a fully automatic washing machine, the electric motor 50 and the reduction gear assembly 62 are configured to perform washing in a predetermined order automatically through a control means such as a microprocessor.

On the other hand, in the case of a two-chamber washing machine, as shown in FIG. 4, a washing tank 6 and a dehydration tank 10 are formed separately, and a pulsator for forming washing water flow on the bottom of the washing tank 6 ( 40 is rotatably mounted, and the dewatering tank 16 is also rotatably mounted with a dehydration tank 20 having a plurality of water outlets formed on the sidewalls, and the electric motor 50 is attached to each of them to be controlled by a control switch. The washing water is formed by rotating the pulsator 40 in the washing tank to wash the laundry, and after the washing is finished, the laundry in which the washing in the washing tank 6 is completed is dehydrated in the dehydrating tank 10. After injecting, the dewatering container 20 is rotated at high speed so as to be dehydrated.

However, these conventional washing machines form washing water flow by rotating the washing rod 30 or the pulsator 40 rotatably mounted on the bottom of the washing tub in all washing machines except the drum washing machine to perform the washing administration. Therefore, the water flow formed by the rotation of the pulsator 40 forms a heart-shaped concentric water stream, and thus has problems such as twisting laundry.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a small washing machine using air pressure having an impact rod mounted on a wall and a bottom of a washing tank to solve the drawbacks of laundry in such a conventional washing machine.

The present invention having the above object is a compression device for reciprocating the impact rod (11) and the impact rod (11) equipped with a shock rod (11) to increase the washing effect by applying a shock to the laundry and washing water by reciprocating motion. It is to install the air generating device (3) for generating air.

Hereinafter, the configuration will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The small washing machine using the air pressure according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, the water supply and drainage for supplying or discharging the washing water to the washing machine, the reservoir 61 in which the washing water is stored, and inside the reservoir 61 The washing tank 20 is formed to be rotatably mounted in the washing tub 20, the pulsator 40 rotatably mounted in the washing tank 6 to form a water flow in the washing water, to operate and control the overall operation of the washing machine In the washing machine composed of an operation panel, an electric motor 50 serving as a power source for rotating the pulsator 40 or the washing tank 6, and an outer box 7 for protecting the components mounted in the washing machine, the washing tank 6 ), The shock absorber (1) equipped with a shock rod (11) for impacting laundry and washing water by reciprocating by the inflow of air to the walls and the bottom of the reservoir (61), and the reservoir (61) A) outside the bottom of the impact An air generator (3) for generating compressed air for reciprocating the impact rod (11) mounted on the tooth (1) is mounted, and the compressed air generated by the air generator (3) outside the reservoir (61) It characterized in that it is configured by mounting an air hose (2) for transmitting to the impact device (1).

The reservoir 61 is the same as or similar to the reservoir used in a conventional washing machine, and the hole for inserting and fixing the impact device 1 is formed.

The impact device (1) is a piston (12), the spherical shock rod 11 is screwed to one side end and the spring (14) is extrapolated and the air valve (4) for intermittent inlet and out of air at one end Is attached and the other end is composed of a cylinder (13) formed with an insertion flow for slidably inserting the piston (12). Since the impact device 1 mounted on the present invention can be mounted by maintaining the distance between the impact device 1 and the impact device 1 to the extent that the interference can be excluded, the number of the impact device 1 is reduced by the water tank ( 61) may vary depending on the size.

The piston 12 propels the impact rod 11 into the reservoir 61 by the compressed air supplied from the air generator 3 to impact the laundry and the washing water, and returns to the original state by the spring 14. Do a reciprocating motion.

The spring 14 is pushed by the compressed air generated in the air generating device (3) to return the piston (12) protruding into the reservoir 61 to the original state to serve to enter the cylinder (13) inside to be.

The cylinder 13 is formed of a piston 12 insertion flow at one end, and an air valve 4 for intermitting the flow of air into and out of the cylinder 13 at the other end. Or cylindrical tube made of synthetic resin.

The air valve (4) is a membrane for supplying or blocking compressed air generated in the air generator (3) to the inside of the cylinder (13), the air valve (4) mounted to each impact device (1) by a timer or a microprocessor, etc. By varying the operating time of), the impact on laundry and water can be changed.

The air generating device 3 may generate the compressed air for impacting the laundry and the washing water by pushing the piston 12 drawn into the cylinder 13 by the spring 14 into the reservoir 61. With such a device, it should be possible to generate compressed air to an extent that can exceed the pressure of the spring 14.
