Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a washing machine, and more particularly to a dehydrating washing machine that performs washing and dehydration using a conventional dehydrating machine.

[Conventional technology] In recent years, with increasing awareness of health and hygiene, housing conditions,
Due to the rise in the employment rate of housewives, the care of bedding has gradually come to be left in the hands of professionals. Also, with the emergence of rental futon shops, various types of futons were sent for washing by ordinary households, inns, and rental futon companies (futon washing). The current process of washing futons is as shown in Figure 8, where the futons are pre-washed and main-washed using a washer, then conveyed to a dehydrator by a belt conveyor, and then manually placed into the dehydrator for dehydration. Rinse and dehydrate in the machine, then put in the drying room to remove moisture contained in the outer material and batting.
Dry, sterilize, disinfect, and finish dry using a rotary dryer.

The structure of the commercial dehydrator used here is the 6th
As shown in the figure, a basket 3 is disposed within a cylindrical water tank 2 provided with a flange 21, and the basket 3 is provided with the basket flange 31 and is connected to a rotating shaft 7. When the rotating shaft 7 rotates, make sure that the mattress is not caught in it.
The cover 71 is attached to the top of the fixed shaft 72 with a tightening nut 73.
It is attached with. The fixed shaft 72 is connected to a fixed shaft base 74. A bearing 75 is provided at a portion where the rotating shaft 7 contacts the fixed cover 71, the water tank 2, and the fixed shaft 72. The water tank 2 is suspended from a stand 6 on a support base 63 by a plurality of support arms 62 on its outer surface by springs 61.

During rinsing and dehydration, the pre-washed and main-washed futon 10 is spread out so as to be pressed against the side of the basket 3, the lid 4 is put on, and the water tank collar 21 and the lid rim 41 are brought into close contact (the tightening tool is not shown). The rotating part 8 is a belt 8
1 transmits the rotational force of the variable speed motor 9 to the rotary shaft 7 to rotate the basket 3. While diffusing water from the top of the lid from the liquid introduction pipe 51 (liquid introduction pipe 5
The direction of the outlet of No. 1 is branched into an inverted V shape). The water passes through the outer surface of the quilt and the batting as shown by the arrow in Figure 6 for rinsing, and the rinsing water is drained from the drain pipe 52 as shown by the arrow. When the water from the liquid introduction pipe 51 is stopped and further rotation is performed, dehydration is completed. Hereinafter, the drying and sterilization process is as described above.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, if the futon is washed regularly, it is hygienic. However, for those who wash futons, carrying heavy futons that have been pre-washed and main-washed in a washing machine and containing water from a belt conveyor to a dehydrator and spreading them out is hard work, and improvements in the work process are desired. Ta. In addition, during rinsing and dehydration, the liquid supplied from the liquid introduction pipe is discharged after passing through the mattress once, and unless a large amount of liquid is supplied, sufficient rinsing cannot be performed.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a dehydrating washing machine that can perform prewashing, main washing, rinsing, and dewatering in the same machine.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a dehydrating washing machine according to the present invention includes a cylindrical water tank provided with a flange, and a cylindrical water tank that is rotatably connected to a rotating part within the water tank. It consists of a basket that stores the items to be cleaned and a water-inducing blade installed on the brim.The water-inducing blade allows the liquid that has penetrated the item to be cleaned and passed through the basket to flow between the water tank and the basket due to centrifugal force. A vertical piece that is substantially perpendicular to the collar that attracts liquid from above into the basket when it rises and directs it toward the center of the tank, and a vertical piece that prevents the liquid that has turned toward the center of the tank from falling and directs it horizontally. [Example] Having a horizontal piece substantially parallel to the flange to be diffused [Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the dehydrating washing machine of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of water induction blades 1 are attached to the lower surface of a collar 21 of a water tank 2 of a conventional dehydrating machine. The water induction blade 1, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4,
It is attached to the lower surface of the collar 21 by a mounting piece 13,
In the middle of the vertical piece 12, there is a hole that is larger than the vertical piece 12 and slightly wider towards the center of the tank (A is on the outside, B is on the center side).
DF<CF) The horizontal piece 11 is provided with the center side slightly higher and the outer side slightly lower (AD<BC), and a plurality of flow dividing guides 14 are provided on the upper surface of the horizontal piece 11.

Stainless steel, which is resistant to chemicals and resistant to rust, is suitable as the material for the water induction blade.

[Function] The futons collected from users are subjected to Japanese binding as necessary to prevent the batting from shifting. The Japanese-stitched futon is placed directly into the dehydrating washing machine of the present invention (without being put into the washing machine). The method is the same as adding it to a conventional dehydrator. With the lid 4 almost closed, the stopper connected to the liquid introduction pipe 51 is opened, water is poured into the water tank 4 to a depth of about one-half, the lid 4 is closed in the same manner as a conventional dehydrator, and the motor 9 is operated. When the rotating part is rotated at a moderate speed of around 50 revolutions per minute, the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the basket 3 causes the water to rise along the sides of the tank 2 and move between the inner surface of the tank 2 and the outer surface of the basket (the inner surface of the basket). Since the futon is spread out between the tank and the tank, some of the water reaches the tank rim 21. The water that has reached the aquarium flange 21 is moved to the aquarium flange 21 as shown by the arrow in FIG.
The vertical surface 12 of the water induction blade 1 attached to the lower surface changes the direction toward the inside of the water tank 2 (see Figure 5), and the water does not fall immediately due to the horizontal surface 11, but is dispersed by the diversion guide 14. It falls over the basket collar 31. Since the horizontal piece 11 is not completely horizontal and is lowered toward the side of the tank 2, it can easily attract the water flow rising up the side, and since the horizontal piece 11 is slightly wider on the center side, the attracted liquid can fall over a wide range. Can be done. The water that has permeated each part of the futon rises again along the side of the water tank 2, moves in a swirling motion, and repeats this action. The water is turned off, the water is dehydrated, and the pre-washing process is completed.

Next, the stopper connected to the liquid introduction pipe 51 is opened, and detergent liquid is poured into the water tank 4 to a depth of approximately one-half, and main washing is performed in the same manner as the prewashing. After that, the rinsing and dehydration steps are performed in the same way as in conventional dehydrators.

Hereinafter, the drying and sterilization process is the same as the conventional method (see Figure 7).

Although this embodiment has been described with reference to the washing of bedclothes, the dehydrating washing machine according to the present invention is not limited to commercial use, and can be downsized to be used as a domestic dehydrating washing machine.

The size of the water induction blade 1, the shape of the horizontal surface 11 (rectangular or polygonal, etc.), and the number of blades attached depend on the size of the water tank 2, but the size is such that the liquid can be introduced between the center and the side of the basket 3. , shape, position (mounting angle), and number are desirable. It is preferable that the number of branch guides 14 is plural.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, the dehydrating washing machine of the present invention includes a cylindrical water tank equipped with a flange, and an object to be washed inside which is rotatably connected to a rotating part within the water tank. The basket is made up of a basket that stores the liquid, and a water-inducing blade installed on the brim. A vertical piece that is substantially perpendicular to the collar that attracts liquid from above into the basket and directs it toward the center of the tank, and a collar that prevents the liquid that has turned toward the center of the tank from falling and spreads it horizontally. Since it is equipped with a horizontal piece that is substantially parallel to the top of the basket, the liquid that has risen due to the centrifugal force of the rotational movement can be introduced widely inward from the top of the basket. The liquid is circulated many times to thoroughly wash not only the surface of the quilt but also the cotton inside. Thoroughly washed cotton swells very well, and pre-washing, main washing, rinsing and dehydration are the same. This can now be done by machine, eliminating the hard labor of carrying heavy items containing liquid during washing. In addition, the washing machine and dehydrator (and belt conveyor) have been replaced by a dehydrating washing machine (which has the same external appearance as a conventional dehydrator), resulting in improved floor space utilization. Furthermore, since the liquid can be circulated, water can be saved. Further, the price of the dehydrating washing machine according to the present invention is only slightly higher than that of the conventional dehydrating machine, so there is no need to purchase an expensive washing machine, and the cost reduction effect is significant.
