Description

Drum Washer with Far Infrared Rays {DRUM TYPE WASHING MACHINE WITH FAR-INFRARED EMISSIONING DOOR}

The present invention relates to a drum washing machine having a door that generates far infrared rays, and more particularly, a door having a viewing window in a washing machine, in particular, a drum washing machine, may emit far infrared rays, thereby washing the temperature of the washing water and drying hot air during washing. The present invention relates to a drum washing machine having a door for generating far-infrared rays which can emit far infrared rays from the side surface to impart bactericidal and antimicrobial properties to laundry.

In general washing machines, a washing machine disclosed in recent years is largely classified into a pulsator type and a drum type.

In the pulsator method, the washing tank and the storage tank in which the laundry is accommodated are installed vertically to perform washing from friction caused by water flow generated by rotation of the pulsator installed on the bottom of the washing tank.

In addition, the drum-type washing machine is installed in the tub and drum that accommodates the laundry horizontally to perform the washing by falling of the laundry, maximizing the laundry capacity and reduce the tangling of the laundry after washing compared to the pulsator washing machine Due to its advantages, the demand is increasing and the related technologies for improving user convenience are also rapidly developing.

The schematic diagram of the drum washing machine is shown in FIG. 1, and the tub 2 is supported inside the main body 10 having the inlet 1 at the front thereof, and the driving motor 3 is disposed at the outer bottom of the tub 2. Is installed, the tub (2) is provided with a drum (5) so as to rotate in a lying down state by receiving the driving force of the drive motor (3), the front of the main body 10, the inlet (1) The door 6 is installed to open and close the door, and a drying apparatus for removing the moisture in the circulating air while circulating the air inside the drum 5 at the upper part of the main body 10 to dry the laundry according to the zoom ( 20).

On the other hand, in the drum washing machine configured as described above, the door 6 is equipped with a transparent window so as to see through the washing process of the laundry.

In the drum washing machine as described above, the tub 2 and the drum 5 except for the window of the door 6 are formed of a metal to which plating or corrosion resistance is imparted. Tub 2 is made of synthetic resin instead of metal.

Thus, the tub 2 molded of synthetic resin is excellent in water resistance, corrosion resistance and moldability, and has been used very easily in the manufacture of a washing machine.

However, in the tub 2 formed of such a synthetic resin, the generation of static electricity is easy, so when washing synthetic fibers, static electricity may be generated in the laundry. In order to prevent this, an antistatic agent should be used together with a detergent during washing. Not only does it cause inconvenience, but it also increases the problem of environmental pollution.

In addition, the conventional washing machine tub 2 is formed with a lot of irregularities in the tub 2 for smooth generation of water flow, and after a long period of use may be deposited detergent or antistatic agent or laundry debris between these gaps.

In addition, the detergents commonly used are mainly anionic and nonionic detergents, and since the antistatic agent and the fibrous softener are mainly cationic, they may be deposited and combined with each other by their electrostatic forces after repeated use of the detergent and the antistatic agent.

The combination of the detergent and the antistatic agent thus deposited is easily attached to the tub formed of a synthetic resin to create an environment in which bacteria or mold can live.

Therefore, in the washing machine used for a long time, such deposits are usually formed, and bacteria or molds inhabit them, causing odors, and causing problems in the laundry after washing.

The present invention has been invented in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to have far-infrared rays emitted from the door of the drum washing machine, which has a fiber flexibility and an antistatic effect upon washing, and has a door that can be sterilized and deodorized when dried. It is to provide a drum washing machine having a door for generating far infrared rays.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, in the door of the drum washing machine, the door is processed including a far infrared radiator, so that the laundry contained in the washing machine inside the door is exposed to the far infrared, the far infrared radiator is transparent of the door Provided is a drum washing machine having a door for generating far-infrared rays coated and processed on a window surface.

The present invention is to expose the laundry of the drum washing machine to far-infrared ray to improve the fiber flexibility of the laundry and the antistatic effect, in particular, when drying the laundry can have the effect of drying by sunlight, the fiber does not damage the sterilization and drying The door of the drum washing machine is characterized in that it is processed including a far infrared radiator to enable.

The present invention having the above characteristics will be described in detail.

As is well known, in the drum type washing machine, unlike a pulsator washing machine that rotates in a state in which a laundry tank into which laundry is put is placed, the drum washing machine which washes laundry while the drum installed in a lying state inside the tub rotates, is compared with a pulsator washing machine. Due to advantages such as maximizing the washing capacity and reducing the tangling of the laundry after washing, the demand is gradually increasing, and related technologies for improving the convenience of users are also rapidly developing.

The drum washing machine to which the present invention is applied is shown in FIG. 2.
