Description

Handle for Washing Machine {a handle of washer}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a washing machine for washing laundry, and more particularly, to a handle for a washing machine built in to be pulled out inside a case.

In general, a washing machine is a machine that removes stains on clothing by providing a mechanical action using electricity.When it is put on clothing, it is removed from the fibers by the chemical action of detergent when put in the washing liquid, Because it takes time, if the water flow is forcibly generated and mechanical action such as friction or vibration can be removed quickly and easily.

1 is a block diagram showing a two-chamber washing machine according to the prior art, Figure 2 is a side view showing a handle for a washing machine according to the prior art.

In the conventional two-type washing machine, the washing tank and the dehydration tank each have independent functions, and as shown in FIG. 1, the washing tank 4 and the washed laundry in which the washing and rinsing operations of the laundry occur inside the case 2 forming the exterior. Dehydration tank (6) in which dehydration operation takes place is built side by side, the bottom surface of the washing tank (4) is equipped with a pulsator (8) which makes the flow of water to act to remove the time of the laundry, the pulsator (8) ) Is driven by the drive motor 10 installed below the washing tank (4).

And, the upper side of the case 2, each cover 12, 14 is installed to open and close so that the laundry is not separated from the washing tank 4 and the dehydration tank (6), both sides of the case (2) There is a handle 20 is installed so that the worker can catch when transporting.

As described above, the handle 20 installed in the case 2 has a groove portion 22 formed in an upward direction so that an operator can easily put his or her hands therein, and is connected to the outer circumference of the groove portion 22 to the case 2. ) Is a unitary structure formed with a support 24 supported outside.

Here, the handle 20 is fitted with the groove portion 22 in the hole (H) formed in the case 2, the support portion 24 is supported and fixed to the outside of the case (2).

However, the conventional handle for a washing machine occupies a lot of internal space because the grooves are inserted into both sides of the case of the washing machine, thereby limiting the space when designing the interior.

In addition, since the support part protrudes and is supported on the outer surface of the case, there is a problem in that the transportation cost is increased due to an increase in the transport area during transportation.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems of the prior art, is installed to occupy a predetermined space inside the case to ensure the flexibility of the space in the design of the interior of the washing machine is installed to be withdrawable and automatic insertion It is an object of the present invention to provide a handle for a washing machine that can reduce the packing size of the washing machine.

In the washing machine comprising a handle for a washing machine according to the present invention for solving the above problems is a case with a washing tank for washing rinsing and dehydration, and a handle installed on one side of the case so that the worker can catch when the washing machine is transported, A handle which is built in one side of the case and is pulled out of the case so as to be held by an operator during transport of the washing machine, a support member which locks the handle to the case when the handle is pulled out of the case, the handle and the support It is composed of an elastic member which is provided between the members to give an elastic force to return the handle to its original position after the handle is drawn out.

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

Figure 3 is a block diagram showing a two-type washing machine according to the present invention, Figure 4 is a side view showing a handle for a washing machine according to the present invention, Figure 5 is a side cross-sectional view showing a pulled state of the handle of the washing machine according to the present invention. to be.

In the two-type washing machine according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, the washing tank 54 in which the washing and rinsing operations of the laundry occur in the case 52 forming the exterior, and the dehydration tank in which the dewatering operation of the washed laundry occurs ( 56 is built side by side, the bottom surface of the washing tank 54 is equipped with a pulsator 58 to create a flow of water to remove the time to wash the laundry, the pulsator 58 is the washing tank 54 It is driven by the drive motor 60 is installed on the lower side.

The upper side of the case 52, the washing tank cover 62 and the dehydration tank cover 64 is installed to open and close so that the laundry is not separated from the washing tank 54 and the dehydration tank 56, the case of the case 52 On both sides, a handle 70 is installed to be pulled out of the case 52 so as to be grabbed by an operator during transportation.

The handle 70 is installed so as to protrude only a part of the groove portion (52H) formed on both sides of the case 52, the draw and automatic insertion is installed.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the handle 70 includes rods 74a and 74b which are inserted upright into two holes formed spaced apart from each other in the groove portion 52H of the case 52, and the washing machine is transported. The knob 72 is installed between the upper ends of the rods 74a and 74b and the rods 74a and 74b inserted into the grooves formed in the case 52 so as to be caught by the worker so as not to be separated. And supporting members 76a and 76b.

Here, the support members 76a and 76b may be respectively installed below the rods 74a and 74b or may be integrally formed to connect lower ends of both rods 74a and 74b.

As described above, the rods 74a and 74b are inserted upright into the grooves formed in the groove portion 52H of the case 52, so that the rods 74a and 74b are easily pulled out. A plurality of hinge portions 78a and 78b are formed at 74a and 74b so that multiple stages are formed at the time of withdrawal.

Alternatively, the rods 74a and 74b may be made of a member having flexibility to facilitate withdrawal from the case 52 even when the hinge portions 78a and 78b are not formed.

An elastic member is installed between the support members 76a and 76b and the inner surface of the case 52. In particular, the springs 80a and 80b are installed in the longitudinal direction around the rods 74a and 74b. As a result, when the operator releases the knob 72, the rods 74a and 74b which are pulled out and used are returned to their original positions by the elastic force of the springs 80a and 80b.

Looking at the operation of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the operator pulls the knob 72 positioned in the groove portion 52H of the case 52, the knob 72 protrudes out of the groove portion 52H and the rod 74a connected to the knob 72. The 74b protrudes from the groove formed in the groove portion 52H of the case 52 to the outside of the case 52, by the plurality of hinge portions 78a and 78b formed in the rods 74a and 74b. The rods 74a and 74b are stepped at a predetermined angle and protrude, and the upper portion of the groove portion 52H is supported by the rods 74a and 74b, and the rods 74a and 74b and the case 52 are provided. Springs 80a and 80b provided between the inner surfaces are compressed.

In this state, the worker can move the washing machine to a desired position. Then, when the worker releases the knob 72, the rod 74a, 74b, and the knob 72 connected to the pulled out from the case 52 are used. Is returned to its original state by the elastic force of the springs 80a and 80b compressed between the rods 74a and 74b and the case 52.

The handle for a washing machine according to the present invention configured as described above occupies a predetermined space inside the groove formed integrally with the case, and is installed to be pulled out and inserted automatically from the case, thereby providing flexibility in designing the interior of the washing machine. In addition to securing it, there is an advantage in reducing the packing size of the washing machine.
