Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, the lip portion 18a is, for example, set the height c from the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 18b to 9 mm and the thickness d to 3 mm.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3A, the spacer member 18 is provided with a rib 18d on the side of the water tank opening portion 9a of the cylindrical portion 18b than the lip portion 18a. The rib 18d is, for example, set the height e at the center portion from the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 18b to 12 mm, the thickness f of the tip end portion to 11 mm, and the thickness g of the root portion to 14 mm. The height e (12 mm) of the rib 18d is set between the inner cover 16a and the inner cover 16a so as not to contact the inner cover 16a when the cover 16 is closed. The height of the gap. Further, the rib 18d is provided to be about the size h (for example, 10 mm) of the lip portion 18a.

That is, the thickness of the rib 18d of the pad member 18 is set to be thicker than the thickness of the lip portion 18a, and the height of the rib portion 18d is set to be higher than the height of the lip portion 18a. Further, the rib 18d is configured not to come into contact with the inner lid 16a when the lid body 16 is closed. Here, the minimum gap i between the front end portion of the rib 18d and the inner lid 16a is set to 3 mm in the present embodiment. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the rib 18d from causing a sense of discomfort to the user when the lid body 16 is opened or closed, or to affect the sealing performance between the lip portion 18a and the inner lid 16a.

Further, the rib 18d does not need to be provided over the entire circumference of the cylindrical portion 18b of the spacer member 18. As shown in FIG. 4B, in the case where the lid body 16 is closed, it may be provided in a range of α (for example, 35°) from the left and right sides of the center line, among the lower semicircular portions where the laundry may be pinched.

Further, as described above, in the present embodiment, the thickness f of the tip end portion is set to 11 mm at the center portion of the rib portion 18d, but as shown in Fig. 4A, it is possible to advance toward both ends. The thinner the thickness of the left and right α portions is set to k (for example, 6 mm). Thereby, it is possible for the user to reduce the sense of incongruity, pressure, and the like of the rib 18d.

Further, the lowermost portion (including the substantially lowermost portion) of the central portion (including the substantially central portion) of the rib portion 18d is provided with a drain hole 18e that communicates from the front to the rear (see FIGS. 3A, 4A, and 4B). Thereby, it is possible to prevent the water from being formed between the lip portion 18a and the rib portion 18d after the completion of the washing. Further, the cylindrical portion 18b is provided with a concave groove 18f at the front and rear of the drain hole 18e. Thereby, the water accumulated between the lip portion 18a and the rib 18d can be passed through the drain hole.

Thereby, it is possible to prevent the water from being stored between the lip portion 18a and the rib portion 18d after the end of the washing, and to prevent the water from adhering to the laundry after the laundry is taken out.

In addition, the thickness of the lip portion 18a may be appropriately determined by verifying the sealing property with the inner lid 16a, the opening and closing force of the lid body 16, or the durability.

The operation and action of the drum type washing machine configured as described above will be described below using FIGS. 5A and 5B.

5A and FIG. 5B are diagrams showing a state in which the drum type washing machine of the embodiment is in a state in which a part of the laundry is caught between the outer periphery of the inner lid and the lip of the cushion member.

At the beginning of the washing step, the user puts the laundry 19 into the rotating drum 10. At this time, the laundry is accidentally mistakenly sandwiched between the inner lid 16a of the lid body 16 and the cushion member 18, and when the user has started the operation in this state, the laundry sheet 19 is sandwiched between the inner lid 16a and the lining. In the state between the pad members 18, the laundry 19 is rotated in accordance with the rotation of the shutter 11 provided in the rotary drum 10.

As shown in FIG. 5A, the laundry 19 gradually generates the twisted portion 19a in accordance with the rotation of the rotary drum 10. At this time, the torsion portion 19a is generated inside the rib 18d which is closer to the laundry 19 and higher in height than the lip portion 18a. Also, the twisted portion 19a is intended to entangle the rib 18d. However, as shown in Fig. 5B, since the rib 18d is thick, the shearing force caused by the twist does not act. Then, the twisted portion 19a gradually becomes larger and makes the washing The laundry 19 itself is gradually pulled in toward the inside of the rotary drum 10, and is detached from between the inner cover 16a and the cushion member 18. As a result, the formed laundry 19 can be normally stirred in the rotary drum 10.

Further, in the present embodiment, the height e (12 mm) of the inner surface of the rib portion 18d from the cylindrical portion 18b is set to be higher than the height of the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 18b by the lip portion 18a (9 mm). Higher, but not limited to this. Even if the height e of the inner surface of the rib 18d from the cylindrical portion 18b is equal to the height c of the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 18b from the lip portion 18a, the shape of the inner cover 16a (the inclination toward the center) can be utilized. The degree of effect equivalent to the above is obtained.

Further, since the height e of the rib portion 18d from the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 18b is set to 5 mm ≦ e < 15 mm, the minimum gap i between the front end of the rib 18d and the inner lid 16a is set to 0 mm < i ≦ At 10 mm, the probability that the torsion portion 19a exceeds the front end portion of the rib portion 18d to reach the lip portion 18a can be further reduced.

However, when the minimum gap i between the front end of the rib 18d and the inner lid 16a is set to 5 mm < i ≦ 10 mm, the height e from the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 18b can be made 5 mm < e < 10 mm. At this time, although the rib 18d can be made less noticeable, on the other hand, the twisted portion 19a exceeds the front end portion of the rib 18d, and the possibility that the twisted portion 19a of the laundry 19 is entangled with the lip portion 18a becomes high. .

Then, by setting the minimum gap i between the front end portion of the rib 18d and the inner lid 16a to 0 mm < i ≦ 5 mm, the twist portion 19a can be sandwiched between the end portion of the rib portion 18d and the inner lid portion 16a. Thereby, it is possible to surely prevent the twist The turning portion 19a reaches the lip portion 18a, and the situation in which the laundry 19 is wrapped around the lip portion 18a can be prevented. As a result, it is possible to prevent the liner member 18 from falling off and rupturing, and it is possible to prevent a serious water leakage from occurring.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the spacer member 18 has the cylindrical portion 18b extending rearward from the front opening portion 15a (including the vicinity of the front opening portion 15a), and the bulging portion 18c by the self-cylindrical portion 18b. The rear end is folded forward to the outside and is swollen to the outer peripheral side and connected to the water tank opening 9a. The lip portion 18a is provided at the front end portion of the cylindrical portion 18b, and the inner cover 16a is closed when the cover 16 is closed. The abutting portion and the rib portion 18d are provided on the cylindrical portion 18b so as to be closer to the water tank opening portion 9a than the lip portion 18a. The rib 18d is set to have a thickness thicker than the thickness of the lip portion 18a, and the height is higher than the height of the lip portion 18a. Further, the rib 18d does not come into contact with the inner lid 16a when the lid body 16 is closed. When the operation has been started in a state in which the laundry 19 is accidentally mistakenly sandwiched between the inner cover 16a and the cushion member 18, the laundry 19 is entangled in the rib 18d closer to the lip portion 18a, and It is formed to draw the cushion member 18 into the rotary drum 10 with a strong force. In the present embodiment, since the thickness of the rib 18d is set to be thick, when the laundry 19 does not sufficiently entangle the rib 18d, the laundry can be detached from the lip 18a and the rib 18d. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the cushion member 18 from coming off or breaking and preventing a serious water leakage.

Industrial availability

As described above, the drum type washing machine of the present disclosure can prevent the detachment or breakage of the cushion member caused by the entanglement of the laundry, even if the user accidentally starts the operation by accidentally idling the laundry under the cover. And prevent water leakage. Therefore, it can be applied to have a cover body and a rotating function The use of other washing machines.
