Description

Drum Type Washing Machine

The present invention relates to a drum type washing machine having a drum rotating about a horizontal axis or an inclined axis. Moreover, in general, the drum type washing machine can perform the washing to drying continuously in many cases, but the drum type washing machine mentioned here may not be able to dry.

Generally, in the drum type washing machine, the handle for taking out a detergent container for injecting an operation panel and detergent and a flexible finishing agent is arrange | positioned side by side in the upper part of the front panel in which the door for clothes input was provided. Further, a water supply or a bath water hose water inlet for connecting a hose for tap water supply or bath water supply is provided on the upper surface or the upper back of the outer frame.

Usually, the water supplied from the outside to the water supply or the bath water hose water inlet is appropriately selected by a water supply valve or the like, and is sent to the detergent receiving portion or the flexible finishing agent receiving portion in the detergent container, and the detergent and the flexible finishing agent contained therein in advance. It is enclosed in the outer tank together. In addition, in the drum type washing machine, a water-cooled structure is often adopted to condense the water vapor evaporated from the laundry during the drying operation, and it is necessary to supply water to such a water cooling pipe during the drying operation.

For this reason, in the drum type washing machine, the structure of the water supply valve tends to be complicated even when compared to the spiral type washing machine and the like, and this cost is high. In addition, there is a tendency that the pipe path from the water inlet to the outer tank through the detergent container tends to be long, and the number of parts in this portion is large, which is one cause of high cost.

Furthermore, in the drum type washing machine, since the operation panel is usually located substantially below the eye height of the user, the operation panel may be difficult to see in the standing posture, or the operation keys may be difficult to operate.

This invention is made | formed in order to solve such a subject, The 1st objective is to provide the drum type washing machine which can reduce cost by simplifying the structure of a water supply valve, a detergent injecting part, etc.

The 1st invention made in order to solve the said subject is the drum type washing machine which arrange | positioned the outer tub in an outer frame, and provided the drum rotatably about a horizontal axis or an inclined shaft in the outer tub,

a) a water inlet provided in the outer frame for connecting an external water hose;

b) a water supply valve means for controlling the flow of water supplied from the water supply port;

c) a detergent container is removably provided, and detergent input means for injecting water supplied from the water supply valve means into the outer tank through the detergent container;

The water supply port, the inlet of the water of the water supply valve means, the outlet of the water of the water supply valve means, and the detergent inlet are respectively directly connected.

In the drum type washing machine according to the first aspect of the invention, a pipe member such as a flexible hose or the like is connected in order to connect the locations by closely arranging the water inlet of the water supply port, the water inlet of the water supply valve means, and the water outlet of the water supply valve means and the detergent inlet. It is connected directly without inserting. Therefore, the number of parts is reduced, and the labor in the assembling step is also reduced, so that the cost can be reduced.

In one embodiment of the drum type washing machine according to the first aspect of the invention, a substantially straight line extending the connecting portion between the water supply port and the water inlet port of the water supply valve means, and the connection portion between the water outlet port of the water supply valve means and the detergent injecting means in a substantially front and rear direction. It can be set as the structure arrange | positioned on the top. By setting it as such a structure, the water flow path from a water supply port to a detergent input part becomes very simple, and it can easily connect directly to the said connection location, without inserting it via a hose or the like.

Moreover, in order to achieve the said structure, it is preferable that the distance from a water supply port to a detergent input means is not too long, but to do this, for example, the front upper part of the outer frame is inclined or curved backward, and the said detergent input means It is good to set it to the rear of the said inclination or curved surface of the upper part in the said outer frame, and to make the structure which provided the pull-out handle of the front surface of the said detergent container on the said inclined surface or curved surface. In this configuration, since the detergent dispensing means itself can be arranged at a position rearward from the front side of the outer frame, even when the water inlet is provided on the rear of the outer frame, the distance from the water inlet to the detergent dispensing means is determined. It can be made relatively short.

Moreover, in this structure, since the outer frame retreats backward from above the lower side of the detergent container, the upper surface of the detergent container can be opened wider even if the amount of withdrawal to the front of the detergent container is relatively small. It also has the effect of being easy to accommodate.

In addition, in the configuration in which the front upper part of the outer frame is inclined or curved backward as described above, the drum is particularly suitable for a drum type washing machine of a so-called inclined drum type, which is disposed at a forward rising incline such that the front cross section is at a position higher than the rear cross section. Do. That is, in such a configuration, since the front of the outer frame is easily inclined to the rear side as it faces upward in correspondence with the inclination of the drum, the front upper part of the outer frame can be inclined or curved backwards without difficulty in design. Can be. In addition, since the distance of the upper part of an outer frame initially becomes short in the front-back direction, it is easy to shorten the distance of a water supply port and detergent supply means as mentioned above.

Furthermore, in the drum type washing machine according to the first aspect of the invention, a watertight member can be used for the connection portion between the water outlet of the water supply valve means and the detergent injecting means.

c) bath water supply means for sucking up and supplying external bath water as washing water;

d) a detergent container is removably provided, and detergent injecting means for injecting water supplied from the water supply valve means or the bath water supply means through the detergent container into the outer tub,

The water supply valve means is disposed behind the detergent injecting means, and the bath water supply means is disposed on the side of the water supply valve means.

According to the drum type washing machine according to the second aspect of the present invention, since the water supply valve means, the detergent injecting means, and the bath water supply means can be appropriately arranged and stored in the upper space in the outer frame, the enlargement of the outer frame can be prevented. Further, since the bath water supply means, the water supply valve means and the detergent injecting means can be connected smoothly and at a short distance, the cost of the member for connection becomes inexpensive.

In addition, in a drum type washing machine in which a third invention made in order to solve the above problems is disposed in an outer frame and a drum is provided in the outer tank so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis or an inclined axis,

An angle between the front surface and the upper surface of the outer frame is chamfered to form a curved surface, characterized in that the handle for dispensing the operation panel and detergent container in the curved portion is disposed.

According to the drum type washing machine according to the third aspect of the present invention, since the operation panel is disposed on the curved surface facing the inclination upward, the user is easy to operate the operation keys on the operation panel in a standing posture, and the display is also easy to see. In addition, since the operation panel does not protrude forward, the clothes input port on the front of the outer frame is not hidden by the operation panel. In addition, the design looks very good. Moreover, since the outer frame is retracted backward from above the lower side of the detergent container, the upper surface of the detergent container can be opened wide even if the amount of withdrawal is relatively small toward the front of the detergent container, and thus it is easy to accommodate detergents, flexible finishing agents, and the like. There is also such an effect.

Further, in the drum type washing machine according to the third aspect of the invention, the drum is disposed at a forward rising incline such that its front end face is higher than the rear end face, and the front face of the outer frame is rearwarded as it is directed upward in response to the inclination of the drum.

Next, the structure of the water supply part 20 and the detergent injecting part 30 which are the other characteristics in this drum type washing machine is demonstrated in detail with reference to FIGS. Fig. 5 is a top view showing the detailed configuration of the water supply section 20 and the detergent inlet section 30, and Figs. 6 and 7 are side views showing the cross section of the detergent container 32 at the AA ′ arrow in Fig. 5. 6 shows a state in which the detergent container 32 is accommodated in the detergent injecting unit 30, and FIG.

As shown in Fig. 5, the water inlet 21 is provided in a recess 1f which is recessed largely forward from the rear face 1e of the outer frame 1, and the water inlet 21 is the water supply valve. It is directly connected to the valve unit 23 which is a means. The valve unit 23 has a four-stage water supply valve, and according to a control signal from the outside, the first flow path for detergent input included in the detergent inlet unit 30, which describes water supplied from the water supply port 21, described later, Similarly, the second flow path for injecting the flexible finishing agent included in the detergent input unit 30, the third flow path for cooling the water to condense the water vapor during the drying operation, and the unbalance of the drum 6 due to the deflection of the laundry during the dehydration. Either flows to the fourth flow path for weight correction used for correcting or blocks the flow. Here, in the following description, a water supply valve for flowing or blocking water in the first flow path is referred to as a first water supply valve, and a water supply valve for flowing or blocking water in the second flow path is called a second water supply valve. Shall be.

Although not described in detail, the water supplied by the fourth flow passage is properly stored in the water storage tank for weight correction provided in the rear of the rear part of the drum 6 so as to balance the eccentric load due to the bias of the laundry. Centrifugal dehydration can be performed with the eccentric load reduced.

On the other hand, a bath water pump as the bath water supply means having a pump motor 24a and a pump casing 24b provided therein with an impeller rotated and driven by the motor 24a under the bath water hose water inlet 22. The 24 is extended | stretched in the left-right direction of the outer frame 1, and is arrange | positioned. In the pump casing 24b of the bath water pump 24, the bath water supply pipe 24c for supplying tap water as the bath water, and the bath water supply pipe 24d for discharging and flowing the bath water sucked from the bath water hose water supply port 22. The other end of the bath water supply pipe 24d is connected to the case 31 of the detergent inlet 30 described later through the valve unit 23.

Two of the valve units 23, that is, the first and second outlets 23a and 23b which are the outlets of the first flow path and the second flow path, leak water without being inserted through another member such as a pipe member. It is directly connected to the rear wall surface of the case 31 of the detergent inlet part 30 only through the packing of rubber | gum which is a watertight member for preventing this. That is, in this drum type washing machine, in order that the front part 1a of the outer frame 1 may incline, and the handle part 32a of the detergent container 32 is provided in the curved surface part 1d, the detergent input part 30 is carried out. The whole itself is in a quite retracted position in the outer frame 1, so that the rear wall of the case 31 of the detergent inlet 30 is located quite rearward. Further, as described above, since the water inlet 21 is recessed forward than the rear portion 1e of the outer frame 1, the water inlet 21 is disposed so as to be close to the detergent inlet 30. have. Thereby, since the clearance gap between the water supply port 21 and the back wall of the case 31 of the detergent input part 30 becomes small, the water supply port 21 in the inlet side of the valve unit 23 is made. WHEREIN: It can be inserted through the valve unit 23 exactly in the said gap, connecting directly with the case 31 of the detergent input part 30 on the exit side, without using a different drain pipe. Therefore, the number of parts is at least enough as this structure, and cost becomes inexpensive.

In addition, while the water supply port 21, the valve unit 23, and the detergent inlet part 30 are arrange | positioned in substantially straight state in the front-back direction, the bath water pump 24 has the pump casing 24b with the valve unit 23. ) And extending in the left and right directions so as to be substantially orthogonal to the substantially straight state arrangement in a state close to the detergent injecting unit 30. Therefore, the water supply unit 20 and the detergent inlet unit 30 can be smoothly combined with each other, and the upper space 1 in the outer frame 1 can be utilized appropriately without increasing the outer frame 1. Can be placed.

The detergent container 32 provided in the case 31 of the detergent inlet part 30 is integrally molded with synthetic resin, and the powder detergent accommodating part 32b for accommodating powder detergent, and the liquid detergent are accommodated. It has a tray divided into three parts, such as the liquid detergent accommodating part 32c, etc., and the flexible finishing agent accommodating part 32d for accommodating a flexible finishing agent. As shown in Fig. 6, the handle portion 32a has a shape that is largely curved to conform to the shape of the curved portion 1d of the outer frame 1. Therefore, even if the detergent container 32 is not pulled out so much forward, the upper surface becomes a wide open state, and it is easy to put a detergent and a flexible finishing agent.

As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the bottom wall of the powder detergent accommodating portion 32b is gently inclined downward toward the rear, and the detergent outlet port 32e for flowing out the water containing the detergent is disposed under the rear wall. ) Is open. On the other hand, at the bottom wall of the liquid detergent accommodating part 32c and the flexible finishing agent accommodating part, the liquid outflow part of the structure which capped the housing which the center has penetrated up and down is provided, and the liquid detergent accommodating part 32c and flexible are provided. Even if a liquid detergent or a liquid flexible finishing agent having fluidity is accommodated in the finishing agent accommodating portion 32d, it does not flow out before the water supply, and water is supplied as described below, and water is stored in the accommodating portion. It flows out downward with a liquid.

Although not shown in the drawing, the cover part attached to close the upper opening of the case 31 is provided with a passage through which one end is connected to each of the first outlet 23a and the second outlet 23b of the valve unit 23. The other end of the first passageway connected to the first outlet 23a has a plurality of watering holes on the upper surface of the powder detergent accommodating portion 32b and communicates with the liquid detergent accommodating portion 32c. Have Moreover, the other end of the 2nd water flow path connected to the 2nd outflow port 23b has the opening which communicates with 32 d of flexible finishing agent accommodation parts. Therefore, the water flowing out of the first outlet 23a enters the powder detergent receiver 32b, flows into the case 31 from the detergent outlet 32e at the rear thereof, and also enters the liquid detergent receiver 32c. The liquid flows out into the case 31 due to the siphon effect of the liquid outflow portion. On the other hand, the water which flowed out from the 2nd outflow port 23b enters the flexible finishing agent accommodating part 32d, and flows out into the case 31 by the siphon effect of the liquid outflow part.

Next, the operation of the water supply unit 20 and the detergent injecting unit 30 will be described.

Prior to the start of washing, the user opens the door 2 to inject laundry into the drum 6. In addition, an appropriate amount of detergent is introduced into the powder detergent accommodating portion 32b or the liquid detergent accommodating portion 32c of the detergent container 32, and an appropriate amount of flexible finishing is applied to the flexible finishing agent accommodating portion 32d as necessary. Inject the agent.

When the washing operation is started, first, the first water supply valve of the valve unit 23 is opened, and the tap water supplied to the water supply port 21 flows into the first flow path, that is, the powder detergent accommodating portion 32b of the detergent container 32. And the liquid detergent container 32c. When the powder detergent is accommodated, the powder detergent is pushed into the case 31 by the water falling from the upper watering hole, and is supplied from the water inlet 11 into the tub 3. In addition, when the liquid detergent is accommodated, it flows out into the case 31 by the siphon effect as described above, and is similarly supplied from the water inlet 11 into the tub 3.

The bath water pump 24 is operated at the time of water supply using the bath water, but it is necessary to give a bath water to the bath water pump 24 in order to absorb the bath water. Therefore, when the 1st water supply valve is opened, a part of tap water is also sent to the cargo pipe 24c, and it is supplied as a cargo to the pump casing 24b. Given the parcel water, the bath water pump 24 starts suction of the bath water through the bath water hose 22a, and discharges the sucked water to the case 31 of the detergent inlet 30 through the bath water supply pipe 24d. . In the water supply of the bath water, the valve unit 23 opens and closes the first water supply valve for a predetermined time and stops the water supply. Then, the bath water sucked up by the bath water pump 24 passes through the casing 31 and is injected. It feeds into the outer tank 3 from (11).

On the other hand, in the case of tap water supply which does not use bath water, the first water supply valve continues to open without the bath water pump 24 being operated. In addition, even in the case of bath water supply, the tap water supply is resumed when it is determined that the remaining bath water has disappeared, for example, when a predetermined time has elapsed while the bath water is being supplied, for example, the water level is not reached. In either case of tap water supply or bath water supply, the first water supply valve is closed or the bath water pump 24 if the storage water level in the outer tub 3 reaches a predetermined water level according to the flow of laundry contained in the drum 6 or the like. Is stopped and water supply is stopped.

In other rinsing strokes except for the final rinsing stroke, bath water supply or tap water supply is performed as described above. Since all powder detergent and liquid detergent flow out and disappear at the time of water supply of the said washing stroke, even if the tap water passes through the powder detergent accommodating part 32b and the liquid detergent accommodating part 32c at the time of the water supply of a subsequent rinsing stroke, Water containing no detergent powder is supplied into the outer tub 3.

At the time of a final rinse stroke, both of a 1st water supply valve and a 2nd water supply valve open, and tap water is supplied to a 1st flow path and a 2nd flow path. Therefore, tap water also flows into the flexible finishing agent accommodating part 32d of the detergent container 32, and the flexible finishing agent dissolved in this water is sucked up by the siphon effect with water, and flows out into the case 31, It feeds into the outer tank 3 from (11).

Thus, tap water or bath water containing a detergent at the time of water supply of a washing stroke, tap water or bath water at the time of water supply of a rinse stroke other than a final rinse stroke, and tap water containing a flexible finishing agent at the time of water supply of a final rinse stroke. Can be supplied to the outer tank 3, respectively.

In addition, the said embodiment is an example of this invention, It is clear that change and correction can be suitably made within the meaning of this invention.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a drum type washing machine which can reduce the cost by simplifying the configuration of the water supply unit and the detergent inlet. In addition, it is possible to provide a drum-type washing machine that makes it easy to see the operation panel and to operate the operation keys.
