Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a single-tank washing machine that can wash large items of clothing such as blankets in general households.

In ordinary households, large items of clothing such as blankets, sheets, bed covers, and curtains are difficult to wash.
It was customary to send it in for cleaning. Also, due to the recent rise in prices, housewives who are forced to make efforts to control their expenses sometimes wash these large items of clothing at home. However, in this case, it is difficult to wash with a conventional single-tub washing machine.
Even if the cloth rotates in the Yoshiba dehydration/washing tub, it only rotates slowly and horizontally, and cleaning performance cannot be expected. Also, if you want to create a structure that can wash large items of clothing, you will have to use an extremely large washing machine, which will increase the price of the washing machine and make it difficult to purchase.

Therefore, as a housewife's wisdom, the so-called washing machine that was used in the bathtub before the appearance of washing machines,
Laundry is often done using a foot-operated method. However, this required a lot of labor for housewives, and there was a strong demand for a way to wash large items of clothing such as blankets in washing machines.

The present invention meets these demands and provides a single-tank washing machine that can wash large items of clothing such as blankets.

Description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the figure, 1 is an outer frame, 2 is a dewatering/washing tub, a pulsator 3 is arranged at the center bottom, and a balancer 4 is integrally fixed to the upper opening edge. Reference numeral 5 denotes a water receiving tank containing the dehydration/washing tub 2, and a board 6 is attached to the bottom of the tank, and the board 6 is provided with a drive motor 7, a solenoid (not shown), and a dehydration/washing switching transmission mechanism part 8.
The outer edge portion is suspended and supported from the upper corner of the outer frame 1 by a rod 10 via a vibration isolator 9. A drain port 11 is provided at the bottom of the water receiving tank 5 and communicates with an inlet pipe 13 of a pot frame 12. A drain hose 14 is provided at the lower end of the pot frame 12 and communicates with the outside. 15 is a tank cover provided on the upper opening edge of the water receiving tank 5. 16 is a bag-shaped laundry net that can store large items of clothing such as blankets, and has a substantially square shape. A connecting fitting 17 is provided at the center of one side of the laundry net 16, and a connecting fitting 17 is provided at the center of one side of the laundry net 16, which serves as a dehydration/washing tub 2.
In this embodiment, it is removably attached to a balancer 4 that is integrally fixed to the dewatering/washing tub 2 near the water level line. Reference numeral 18 denotes a reinforcing tape for attaching a triangular ring 19 provided at one end of the connecting fitting 17, and is integrally wrapped around the rotation center of the laundry net 16. 2
0 is a spherical rotatable chain provided between the connecting fitting 17 and the triangular ring 19. A fastener 21 that can be opened and closed is provided on the side adjacent to the side where the connecting fitting 17 is provided.
is provided so that it is not exposed to the surface. 22
is a soft finishing agent injection case detachably provided on the balancer 4.

With the above configuration, since the laundry net 16 in which large items of clothing such as blankets are stored is fixed at the center of one side near the water level via the connecting fitting 17,
It is suspended diagonally within the dehydration/washing tub 2. Since the reinforcing tape 18 is wrapped integrally with the laundry net 16 around the rotation center of the diagonal rotation movement, the laundry net 16 will not be stretched due to the rotation movement. Also, since the laundry net 16 has a substantially square shape, the laundry net 16 smoothly performs diagonal rotation movement by the left and right rotation of the pulsator 3, rotates in the washing water in both horizontal and vertical directions, and performs washing. At the same time, since the clothes are inside the laundry net 16,
Less damage to the fabric. In addition, laundry net 16
If it has a rectangular shape, it may get stuck on the inner wall of the dewatering/washing tub 2 and cannot rotate, making it impossible to improve cleaning performance, or it may come into strong contact with the pulsator 3, damaging the net and shortening the life of the washing net 16. It makes it shorter.

As described above, the single-tank washing machine of the present invention has a simple configuration, which makes it possible to wash large items of clothing such as blankets at home, which has been a long-cherished desire of housewives, while improving the washing performance. It has a great effect on making it possible, and its effects are very large.
