Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bottom plate of a two-tub type washing machine, particularly a washing tub.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As is well known, the two-tub type washing machine is provided with an operation panel 4 on the rear upper surface of an outer box 1 inside which a washing tub 2 and a dehydration tub 3 are provided side by side, as shown in FIG. The knobs 7 and 8 of the timer for setting the washing time and the dehydration time are attached through the auxiliary panel 5, and the operation panel is attached to the upper opening side of the washing tub 2 by lowering the knobs 7 and 8 by one step. 4, a knob 9 for switching water supply for switching the water supply between the washing tank 2 side and the dewatering tank 3 side, and a knob 10 for drainage switching for opening and closing the drain valve are provided.

In the figure, 11 is a washing lid attached to the upper opening of the washing tub 2, 12 is a dehydration lid, and 13 is a water supply case. Although not shown, a pulsator is arranged at the bottom of the washing tub 2.

By the way, the bottom plate 2a of the washing tub 2 is formed with a recessed portion 15 for disposing the pulsator, and a drainage channel 16 is formed so as to be adjacent to and communicate with the recessed channel 15, and the drainage channel 16 is provided with a drainage pipe. A drain port 16a that opens to the bottom is formed. When the pulsator is attached to the concave portion 15, a gap is provided between the peripheral edge of the pulsator and the peripheral wall of the concave portion 15 and between the bottom surface of the pulsator 14 and the bottom plate 2a of the washing tub 2 so as not to hinder the rotation of the pulsator. It is formed.

As described above, the pulsator rotates during the washing and rinsing operation, and in order to drain the water in the washing tub 2 after completion of the washing and rinsing, the knob 10 is operated and provided in the middle of the drain pipe. When the drain valve is opened, the water in the tank passes through the drainage channel 16 and is discharged from the drainage port 16a to the drainage pipe. Further, the water in the recess 15 below the pulsator also flows into the drainage channel 16 and is discharged from the drainage port 16a.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Washing and rinsing Buttons removed from clothes during operation, clips in clothes pockets, etc. may get into the recess 15 below the pulsator through the gap between the pulsator and the recess 15. In such a case, the gap with the recess 15 formed below the pulsator is so small as not to hinder the rotation of the pulsator. Therefore, when the pulsator rotates during the washing operation, the button that has entered the recess 15 below the pulsator. A clip or the like comes into contact with the pulsator and the bottom plate 2a of the washing tub 2 and is rubbed.

As a result, not only an unpleasant fricative noise is generated, but also the pulsator and the washing tub 2 are rubbed with a button or a clip, the pulsator is damaged, or a hole 2 is formed in the bottom 2a of the washing tub 2. I have something to do.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the above-mentioned conventional example, and to prevent damage to the pulsator and holes in the bottom plate of the rinsing tank, even if buttons and the like taken from clothes enter the recesses below the pulsator during washing operation. It is to provide a washing machine that can prevent perforations.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a washing machine having a pulsator-arranging recess at the bottom of a washing tub and a drainage channel communicating with the recess, in which a pocket portion is inclined downward toward the drainage channel. The gist of the present invention is that the above is formed in the recess.

[0010]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, when buttons, clips, etc. taken from clothes during washing and rinsing operation enter the recessed portion for pulsator installation below the pulsator periphery, the button, etc. are stored in the pocket portion formed in this recessed portion. The lower surface of the rotating pulsator does not come into contact with the buttons or the like in the recess because it enters.

[0011]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional front view of a pulsator mounting portion, which is a main part of a washing machine of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a bottom portion of the same washing tub, and FIG. 3 is a vertical sectional front view of the washing machine shown in FIG. Since the basic structure is the same as that of the conventional example shown in FIG. 6, the same reference numerals are given and detailed description is omitted.

Also in the present invention, a recess 15 for mounting the pulsator 14 is formed on the bottom plate 2a of the washing tub 2, and a drainage channel 16 is formed adjacent to the recess 15 so as to communicate with the recess 15 through the water outlet 15b. The drainage channel 16 is provided with a drainage port 16a opening to the drainage pipe 17.

In the present invention, in the recess 15 for mounting the pulsator 14, a portion communicating with the water passage 15b is formed into a groove inclined downward toward the water passage 15, and this groove is formed with a button or a clip. A pocket portion 15a for accommodating the like. The pocket portion 15a has not only the bottom portion but also the side wall surface formed into an inclined surface as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 to form a substantially V-shaped groove. Reference numeral 18 in the drawing denotes a drainage filter attached to the upper surface of the drainage channel 16.

As described above, in the state in which the pulsator 14 is disposed in the recess 15 as shown in FIG. 1, a gap A is formed between the pulsator 14 and the recess 15, and the pulsator 14 has a gap. A gap B is formed below the bottom plate 2a of the washing tub 2, and the gap B becomes large at the pocket 15a.

Next, the operation will be described. The pulsator 14 rotates during the washing and rinsing operation, but the pulsator 14 rotates smoothly because there are gaps A and B on the periphery and below the pulsator 14. During the washing operation, when the button 19 is removed from the clothes that are laundry or small items such as clips in the pocket of the clothes fly out of the pockets, these small items ride on the vortex generated by the pulsator 14. Through the gap A into the recess 15 below the pulsator 14.

The button 19 and the like that have entered the recess 15 flow along the slope here and enter the pocket 15a as shown in FIG. Since the pocket portion 15a has a relatively deep groove shape and forms a large gap with the lower surface of the pulsator 14, the buttons 19 and the like in the pocket portion 15 do not come into contact with the lower surface of the pulsator 14. Therefore, the rotation of the pulsator 14 is not hindered by the button 19 or the like that has entered below the pulsator 14.

[0017]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, since the washing machine of the present invention has the groove-shaped pocket portion formed in the recess for arranging the pulsator, the buttons etc. that have entered below the pulsator are housed in this pocket portion and the buttons etc. rotate. Since it is possible to prevent the pulsator from coming into contact with the pulsator, it is possible to prevent the pulsator and the bottom plate of the washing tub from being rubbed against each other, thereby preventing the pulsator and the bottom of the washing tub from being damaged.
