BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a passive washing machine including a ceramic washing ball, and more particularly, to a passive washing machine having a ceramic washing ball and manually rotating the washing machine.

Generally, a washing machine refers to a device that removes or removes a stain that has penetrated into a fiber structure by using a physical action such as rotation of a washing tub or rotation of a rotating plate, and chemical action such as a detergent or a fabric softener. There are three types of washing machines: the cylinder type used mainly in Europe, the agitator type used in the Americas, and the pulsator type used in the East Asian countries such as Korea and Japan.

However, a washing machine, which is considered to be a necessity of modern life, becomes large in size, and when the laundry is small, water is wasted. In addition, when the washing machine is frequently used, the laundry is often hand washed, such as underwear or socks, because the electricity is consumed. Especially in the case of underdeveloped countries, there is a limitation that electric washing machine can not be used due to lack of water facilities or electric facilities.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1056643 relates to a small washing machine, which is manufactured to be small in comparison with a conventional washing machine so that it can be used only for relatively small and light laundry such as underwear, but considering a small size And a vibration preventing means for supporting the washing tub on the upper end of the washing tub so as to be rotatable so that the washing tub can be easily inserted into and removed from the washing tub, .

However, since the above-described technology is also of electric type, there is a limit in that it can not be used in a power failure or in a country where electric facilities are insufficient.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The foregoing and further aspects of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view of a passive type washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a passive type washing machine according to FIG.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a passive washing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a rotation unit 110, a driving unit 120, and a body unit 130.

The rotary part 110 is formed in a cylindrical shape having an opened upper part to receive the laundry. Specifically, the rotation part 110 includes a rotation plate 111 and a support part 112. The rotary plate 111 is a cylindrical body and a pore is formed on a side surface thereof. The rotating plate 111 may be formed of a synthetic resin material or a metal material. The lower shaft is fixedly supported by the support portion 112 of the rotary plate 111. The upper side of the rotation part 110 is pressed and rotated by a driving part 120 to be described later.

The rotation plate 111 of the rotation unit 110 is connected to the driving unit 120 and rotates to rotate the laundry contained therein while mixing with water and detergent. The inner surface of the rotary plate 111 may be provided with a groove having a concavo-convex shape to increase the contact surface with the laundry.

The support portion 112 of the rotation portion 110 supports the lower portion of the rotation plate 111 and minimizes the frictional force through bearing engagement with the lower shaft 113 of the rotation plate 111 to facilitate rotation. In addition, the support 112 may be formed as an adsorbing member so that the surface of the body 130 is adsorbed and fixed.

The driving unit 120 closes the opened top of the rotation unit 110 and rotates the rotation unit 110 by rotating the handle coupled to the gear combination. The driving unit 120 rotates the rotation unit 110 manually. The driving part 120 serves to close the upper part of the rotation part 110 and the body part 130 and at the same time to rotate the rotation part 110. Hereinafter, the driving unit 110 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

3 is a detailed configuration diagram of a driving unit of the passive washing apparatus according to FIG. Hereinafter, the configuration of the driving unit of the passive washing apparatus will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

3, the driving unit 120 includes a gear box 121, a fixing unit 123, a pressure plate 125, and a handle 126. The gear box 121 opens and closes the upper part of the body part 130 and receives the gear combination 122 therein. The gear combination 122 formed inside the gear box 121 is driven by a handle described later to rotate the pressure plate 125 connected to the upper shaft 124 as an output shaft. For example, the gear combination 122 includes a ring gear 122-1 in which gear teeth are formed, an intermediate gear 122-2 in which gear teeth are meshed inside the ring gear 122-1, 2) and a gear 122-2 for rotating the upper shaft 124 as an output shaft while the gear teeth are engaged with each other. In other words, the intermediate gear 122-2 and the drive gear 122-3 may be formed inside the ring gear 122-1. In this case, it is formed with a gear ratio of ring gear: intermediate gear: drive gear = 1: 2: 4, so that the drive gear can rotate four wheels when the ring gear rotates one time. These gear ratios can vary depending on user settings.

The fixing portion 123 is a bent-type member formed on both sides of the gear box 121 and being drawn or drawn from the gear box 121 and having a variable length. The fixing portion 123 presses and fixes both sides of the body portion 130 and serves to close the upper portion of the body portion 130. [ For example, the fixing portion 123 can be bent in a " " -shape in cross section to press the outer surface of the body portion 130. In this case, the bent inner side surface is coated with rubber or silicone material to prevent slipping. When the fixing portion 123 is connected to the inside of the gear box 121 by an elastic body and is pulled out to the outside, the fixing portion 123 can press the outer surface of the body portion 130 by a restoring force to return to the inside. The gear box 121 of the fixing part 123 may be formed as a pair or a plurality of pairs.

The pressure plate 125 is located below the gear box 121 and is connected to an upper shaft 124 connected to the gear combination and opens and closes the upper portion of the rotation unit 110. The pressure plate 125 is connected to the upper shaft 124 by a circular lid and rotates. In this case, it is preferable that the pressure plate 125 is formed so as to be vertically adjustable in height according to the height of the rotary part.

The handle 126 is connected to the gear combination 122 and is formed on the top of the gearbox to manually manipulate the gear combination 122. For example, a ring gear 122-1 in which a gear combination 122 is formed, a middle gear 122-2 and a middle gear 122-2 in which gear teeth are meshed inside the ring gear 122-1, And a driving gear 122-3 that rotates an upper shaft which is an output shaft while the gear teeth are engaged with each other, the handle 126 may be fixedly formed on the ring gear 122-1. Accordingly, when the handle 126 is rotated in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, the ring gear 122-1 is rotated, and the upper shaft 124, which is an output shaft, is rotated. The handle 126 may be formed to be foldable and may be formed upright on the upper part of the gear box 121 when used and folded to the upper side of the gear box 121 when not in use.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 again, the body part 130 stores or discharges the effluent discharged from the rotary part 110 while accommodating the rotary part 110 therein. The body portion 130 may be formed of a transparent or semitransparent material, and a discharge port 131 may be formed at one side thereof. The discharge port 131 is preferably formed in a structure capable of opening and closing so as to discharge the effluent discharged from the rotating portion. The upper part of the body part 130 may be opened and closed by the driving part 120, and one side of the body part and the driving part may be connected by a hinge connection, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

4A and 4B are diagrams for explaining a modified embodiment of a rotary plate of a rotary part of the passive type washing machine according to FIG.

Referring to FIGS. 4A and 4B, the rotating plate 111 can be realized in a state where the lower portions of a plurality of perforated plates 111-1 curved in section are connected to each other. In this case, the side surface of each of the perforated plates 111-1 may be vertically rotated to vary the entire circumferential length. In other words, if the amount of laundry is small, the entire circumference of the perforated plate 111-1 is made small, and when the amount of laundry is large, the entire circumference of the perforated plate 111-1 is made large, Can be varied. When the circumferential length of the rotary plate 111 is large, the centrifugal force is increased and the washing force can be increased, so that the entire circumferential length can be increased during dewatering.

In addition, protrusions may be formed on the inner surface of each of the perforated plates 111-1. The projecting portion 111-2 can increase the surface area with the laundry to increase the washing effect. The size and shape of the perforated hole in the perforated plate 111-1 can be variously formed. Areas overlapping each other are formed between the perforated plates 111-1. As the peripheries are reduced in length, overlapping regions increase. FIG. 4A shows a plurality of the perforated plates 111-1 constituting the rotating plate 111, and FIG. 4B shows a plan view of the rotating plate 111 composed of the plurality of perforated plates 111-1.

The presser ring 541 is formed by a cylindrical tube, and the upper portion presses the outer side of the rotation portion. The presser ring 541 moves up and down along the outer surface of the rotating portion. For example, when the pressing ring 541 rises, the rotating part overlaps and overlaps the inside of the rotating part, and when the pressing ring 541 descends, the rotating part swings out of the rotating part. The pressure ring 541 may be formed of a metal material or a synthetic resin material, and its size and shape may vary depending on the designer's design. The presser ring 541 can be supported from the underside by a plurality of support portions 541-1. The support portion 541-1 supports the presser ring 541 while guiding the upward or downward movement of the presser ring 541 in the vertical direction.

The circumferential plate 542 fixes and supports the outer surface of the pressure ring 541. The circumferential plate 542 fixes and supports both sides of the pressure ring 541 formed of a cylindrical tube. The circumferential plate 542 can be raised or lowered by a force which is connected to a pivot shaft which will be described later and is transmitted through the pivot shaft. The circumferential plate 542 may be formed of a metal material or a synthetic resin material. The size and shape of the circumferential plate 542 may vary depending on the designer's design. For example, the circumferential plate 542 may be formed in a 'Y' shape and the pressure ring 541 may be fixed to both ends thereof.

The pivot shaft 543 is rotatable as seen in the seesaw by the lever 543-1. The pivot shaft 543 is formed inside the body and connected to one side of the circumferential plate 542 and rotates. The pivot shaft 543 can be moved upward or downward by a lever 544 to be described later. In this case, the peripheral plate 542 connected to the rotating shaft 543 also ascends or descends. Therefore, the presser ring 541 connected to the circumferential plate 542 is interlocked to move upward or downward.

The lever 544 is connected to the end of the rotary shaft through the engagement portion 544-1, and the rotary shaft is rotated up and down so that the pressing ring 541 is moved up and down. When the lever 544 is stopped at a predetermined position, the engaging portion 544-1 is provided so that the turning shaft 543 is fixed at the corresponding position. For example, when the lever 544 is lifted upward, the rotary shaft 543, the peripheral plate 542, and the presser ring 541 move in an upward direction. When the lever 544 is lowered, The circumferential plate 542, and the presser ring 541 are interlocked and moved downward. Accordingly, the circumferential length of the outer wall portion deployed by the pressurizing ring 541 can be adjusted.
