Therefore, when the washing administration is carried out, the washing water flowing through the water supply pipe 111 is moved through the detergent guide plate 132 and mixed with the powder detergent and guided to the tub 60.

The filter unit 140 is installed in the liquid reservoir 120. The filter unit 140 filters foreign substances introduced into the liquid detergent stored in the liquid reservoir 120.

On the other hand, reference numeral 150 is a liquid cover portion, and closes the opening hole 115 to prevent the liquid detergent or fiber softener from solidifying due to contact with air.

In addition, reference numeral 160 is a housing cover, one end of which is hinged to the detergent housing 110 to open and close the upper portion of the detergent housing 110. The housing cover 160 prevents foreign substances from flowing into the liquid reservoir 120 and the powder introducer 130.

Filter unit 140 according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with a seating ring 141, a fine mesh 142 and the handle portion 143.

The seating ring 141 is inserted into the discharge hole 125 formed at the lower end of the liquid reservoir 120. The discharge hole 125 serves as a passage through which the liquid detergent stored in the liquid reservoir 120 is discharged. The seating ring 141 has a cylindrical shape in which the outer circumferential surface is in contact with the inner wall of the discharge hole 125.

The fine mesh 142 is coupled to the seating ring 141 to form a mesh to filter foreign matter, the handle portion 143 is coupled to the seating ring 141 has a shape that can be gripped by the user.

End of the fine mesh 142 is coupled to the inner surface of the seating ring 141, the center is located above the end. Due to this height difference, the center and the end of the fine mesh 142 has a slope. At this time, the inclination angle may be constant or variable.

The handle part 143 is located above the micro net 142, and the center of the micro net 142 is coupled with the handle part 143. In one embodiment of the present invention, the handle portion 143 is provided with a bottom plate (143a), connecting table (143b) and the gripping body (143c).

The bottom plate 143a is positioned at the bottom of the center of the micro net 142, and the connecting rod 143b is positioned above the center of the micro net 142 and connected to the bottom plate 143a. Both ends of the connecting table 143b are coupled to the inner surface of the seating ring 141. The gripping member 143c extends upward from the connecting table 143b. The gripping body 143c is preferably formed to have a shape that can be gripped by the user.

The discharge hole 125 is provided with a locking jaw 126 for seating the seat ring 141. Therefore, the seating ring 141 is inserted into the discharge hole 125 and seated on the locking jaw 126.

Discharge hole 125 according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with a vertical guide groove (125a) and the left and right guide groove (125b).

The upper and lower guide grooves 125a extend downward from the upper end of the discharge hole 125, and the left and right guide grooves 125b communicate with the upper and lower guide grooves 125a and extend laterally.

Coupling protrusion 141a is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the seating ring 141. Coupling protrusion (141a) is inserted into the upper and lower guide groove (125a) and the left and right guide groove (125b) is moved. The upper and lower guide grooves 125a and the left and right guide grooves 125b guide the coupling protrusion 141a.

On the other hand, the discharge hole 125 is formed with a discharge hole 125c for guiding the liquid detergent to be discharged to the outside.

Referring to the operation of the dual washing machine in the automatic washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention having the structure as described above are as follows.

When using the powder detergent, the user rotates the housing cover 160 to expose the powder injection hole 131, and then put the powder detergent into the powder injection hole 131. Then, the powder detergent is temporarily stored in the detergent guide plate 132.

In the above state, the wash water supplied through the water supply pipe 111 is introduced into the detergent guide plate 132, mixed with the powder detergent, and then moved to the tub 60.

When the liquid detergent is used, the wash water supplied through the water supply pipe 111 is guided to the tub 60, and the liquid detergent stored in the liquid reservoir 120 is set by the pump 122 by the tub 122. You are guided to.

When the liquid detergent 120 is insufficient in the liquid reservoir 120, the liquid reservoir 120 is opened through the housing cover 160 and the liquid cover part 150, and then the liquid detergent is replenished.

On the other hand, by inserting the filter unit 140 in the discharge hole 125 formed in the liquid reservoir 120, it is possible to filter the foreign matter introduced into the liquid detergent stored in the liquid reservoir 120.

The consumer grips the handle 143 of the filter unit 140 and inserts the engaging protrusion 141a protruding from the seating ring 141 into the upper and lower guide grooves 125a of the locking jaw 126. , Rotate to guide the left and right guide groove (125b). Then, the filter unit 140 maintains a state fixed to the discharge hole (125).

In the above state, when the liquid detergent is supplied, the liquid detergent passes through the fine net 142 of the filter unit 140 and then moves to the tub 60. At this time, the foreign matter contained in the liquid detergent is caught in the fine mesh 142.

Since the center of the fine mesh 142 protrudes upwards, the filtered foreign matter is accumulated by moving from the center of the fine mesh 142 to the end. As a result, since the center of the fine mesh 142 is always kept open, the liquid detergent can be stably passed.

When foreign matter is excessively accumulated in the fine mesh 142, the consumer separates and cleans the filter unit 140 from the discharge hole 125 and reinstalls the discharge hole 125.

Since the bottom plate 143a and the connecting rod 143b of the handle 143 are respectively located at the bottom and the upper surface of the central portion of the micro mesh 142, the central portion of the micro mesh 142 is supported by the handle portion 143. This prevents sagging downwards.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art to which the art belongs may various modifications and other equivalent embodiments therefrom. I will understand.

Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention will be defined by the claims below.
