The water supply valve 21d is provided as a water supply valve for supplying washing water for washing a pipe, not shown, provided in the washing machine 1, for example.
The front end portion of the bath water pump 22 is connected to the base end portion of the bath water injection path 33 via a water hose, not shown. The bath water pump 22 sucks bath water from a water source such as a bathtub outside the washing machine 1, and introduces the sucked bath water into the bath water injection path 33. The front end of the bath water filling path 33 is connected to the upper part of the front part of the filling box main body 11 in front of the tank housing part 12. In this case, the front end portion of the main water injection path 31 and the front end portion of the softener water injection path 32 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction on the upper portion of the front portion of the water injection cartridge main body 11, and the front end portion of the bath water injection path 33 is located behind the front end portions of the main water injection path 31 and the softener water injection path 32 and extends straight in the left-right direction. The front end portion of the bath water injection path 33 has a plurality of injection holes 33a.
In the washing machine 1 configured as described above, all of the plurality of manual feed portion paths 31, 32, 33 are disposed on one side of the tank housing portion 12. More specifically, the plurality of manual feed portion paths 31, 32, 33 are arranged in a concentrated manner on the inner side of the washing tub 3, that is, on the opposite side of the left side surface 2L of the outer casing 2, when viewed from the front side of the washing machine 1. In this case, the plurality of manual feed portion paths 31, 32, 33 are not entirely but partially, and in this case, all intermediate portions between the base end portion and the tip end portion are disposed on one side of the can housing portion 12.
When the configuration example of the washing machine 1 is determined from another point of view, the tank housing 12 is disposed between the left side surface 2L of the outer casing 2 and the plurality of manual input portion paths 31, 32, 33 when viewed from the front side of the washing machine 1. In other words, the can housing portion 12 is sandwiched between the left side surface 2L of the outer case 2 and the plurality of manual input portion paths 31, 32, and 33.
The base end portion of the main water injection path 31 among the plurality of manual input portion paths 31, 32, and 33 is disposed at the rear side of the tank housing 12 in a concentrated manner. The base end portion of the bath water injection path 33 among the plurality of manual input portion paths 31, 32, and 33 is disposed on one side of the tank housing 12 together with the intermediate portion of the plurality of manual input portion paths 31, 32, and 33. The front end portions of the manual feed portion paths 31, 32, 33 are disposed on the front side of the tank housing 12.
The plurality of manual feed portion paths 31, 32, 33 are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction on one side of the tank housing portion 12. That is, the plurality of manual feed portion paths 31, 32, 33 are partially or entirely arranged so as to overlap each other when viewed from the side, i.e., when viewed from the horizontal direction. The plurality of manual feed portion paths 31, 32, 33 are arranged so that a part or all of the paths do not overlap with each other when viewed in a plan view, i.e., in the vertical direction.
In this case, the residual water discharge portion 41 is provided at a portion of the bath water injection path 33 that is on the side of the tank housing portion 12 together with the other portion of the manual input portion paths 31 and 32. The residual water discharge portion 41 has a discharge hole 41a, and the discharge hole 41a is connected to the water injection cartridge 10. Accordingly, in the washing machine 1, when water remains in the bath water filling path 33 in a state where the bath water pump 22 is stopped, the residual water can be discharged into the water filling box 10 through the discharge hole 41a of the residual water discharge portion 41.
As shown in fig. 8, the softener tank 18 housed in the tank housing 12 is connected to the softener metering pump 24 outside the tank housing 12 via a connection pipe 24 a. The drain hole 41a of the residual water drain portion 41 is connected to a portion of the water injection cartridge 10 in the vicinity of the connection pipe 24a, in this case, a portion slightly above the connection pipe 24 a. Accordingly, the residual water discharged from the inside of the bath water injection path 33 through the discharge hole 41a of the residual water discharge portion 41 flows into the water injection case 10 from the vicinity of the connection pipe 24a, and is supplied to the connection pipe 24a or the peripheral portion thereof. The connection pipe 24a is an example of a connection portion, and the connection pipe 24a is provided in the water injection cartridge 10 at least at a portion that does not face the lower surface of the softener tank 18.
According to the washing machine 1 described above, all of the plurality of manual input unit paths 31, 32, and 33 are disposed on one side of the tank housing 12. According to this configuration, compared with the conventional configuration of the water injection path disposed separately on both sides of the tank housing portion, the space for the detergent tank 17 and the softener tank 18 in the tank housing portion 12, in other words, the space housed in the tank housing portion 12 can be sufficiently ensured without being limited to a narrow portion sandwiched by the water injection paths.
In the washing machine 1, all of the plurality of manual feed portion paths 31, 32, and 33 are disposed on the inner side of the tank housing 12 closer to the washing tub 3. According to this configuration, the tank housing portion 12 housing the detergent tank 17 and the softener tank 18 can be provided on the outside, that is, on the opposite side to the washing tub 3. Therefore, a sufficiently long distance between the tank housing 12 and the washing tub 3 can be ensured, and contact between the tank housing 12 and the washing tub 3 can be suppressed when vibration occurs, for example.
In the washing machine 1, the main water injection path 31 for injecting the normal water into the manual detergent supply portion 15, the softener water injection path 32 for injecting the normal water into the manual softener supply portion 16, and the bath water injection path 33 for injecting the bath water into the manual detergent supply portion 15 are all arranged on one side of the tank housing portion 12. That is, by disposing all of the plurality of manual feed portion paths 31, 32, and 33 provided in the washing machine 1 near one side of the tank storage portion 12, the space for the detergent tank 17 and the softener tank 18 can be ensured more, and contact between the tank storage portion 12 and the washing tub 3 can be further suppressed.
In addition, according to the washing machine 1, the plurality of manual feed portion paths 31, 32, 33 are arranged in the horizontal direction on one side of the tank housing portion 12. According to this configuration, even if the manual feed portion paths 31, 32, and 33 are provided, the thickness of the entire water injection path portion 20 in the up-down direction can be suppressed. That is, in the washing machine 1 including the cylindrical washing tub 3 in the rectangular box-shaped outer case 2, a space extending in the horizontal direction is easily secured in the upper portion of the washing tub 3 in the outer case 2. Therefore, the space in the outer case 2 thus formed can be effectively used, and the plurality of manual input portion paths 31, 32, 33 can be easily arranged.
In addition, according to the washing machine 1, the plurality of manual feed portion paths 31, 32, 33 supply water from above with respect to the manual feed box 14. According to this configuration, the laundry treatment agent in the manual feed cartridge 14 can be washed away by the water supplied from above and efficiently supplied into the washing tub 3.
In addition, according to the washing machine 1, the bath water injection path 33 includes the residual water discharge portion 41 at a central portion thereof. With this configuration, the residual water in the bath water injection path 33 can be discharged to the outside, and the inside of the bath water injection path 33 can be maintained hygienically. In addition, since the residual water discharged from the residual water discharge part 41 is discharged into the water injection cartridge 10, it is not necessary to newly set a water discharge path for discharging the residual water.
In addition, according to the washing machine 1, the residual water discharge portion 41 discharges the residual water to a portion of the water injection case 10 that does not face the lower surface of the softener tank 18. With this configuration, the lower surface of the softener tank 18 can be prevented from being wetted by the residual water.
In addition, according to the washing machine 1, the residual water discharge portion 41 discharges the residual water to the connection pipe 24a of the softener metering pump 24 and the peripheral portion thereof that connect the softener tank 18 and the outside of the tank housing portion 12. According to this configuration, the laundry treatment agent attached to the connection pipe 24a can be rinsed with the residual water. Although not shown, the softener tank 18 is connected to the detergent metering pump 23 outside the tank housing 12 via a connection pipe in the tank housing 12. Therefore, the residual water discharge portion 41 may be configured to discharge the residual water to the connection pipe for the softener tank 18 or the peripheral portion thereof.
The bottom of the bath water injection path 33 may be an inclined surface inclined downward toward the residual water discharge portion 41, instead of a horizontal surface. With this configuration, the residual water in the bath water injection path 33 can be more easily discharged. The washing machine 1 may be configured such that the residual water discharge portion 41 is provided in a water injection path other than the bath water injection path 33.
In addition, according to the washing machine 1, the automatic loading portion path 25 is provided on the opposite side of the tank housing 12 from the plurality of manual loading portion paths 31, 32, 33, that is, on the left side 2L of the outer casing 2 as the outside. Here, as shown in fig. 9, in the washing machine 1, a rib 12a protruding outward is provided on a side surface of the tank housing 12, and a rib 2R protruding inward is provided on the left side surface 2L of the outer casing 2. The can housing 12 is supported by the rib 12a being locked to the rib 2R on the outer case 2 side. Therefore, the automatic loading portion path 25 provided outside the tank housing portion 12 can be housed in the space below the rib 2R on the outer case 2 side, and the limited space in the outer case 2 can be effectively used. Further, although the automatic loading portion path 25 is provided on the opposite side of the tank housing portion 12 from the washing tub 3, the tank housing portion 12 can be disposed as close to the opposite side of the washing tub 3 as possible, and the distance between the tank housing portion 12 and the washing tub 3 can be sufficiently ensured.
The present embodiment is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and expansions can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
For example, as shown in fig. 10, the washing machine 1 may be configured such that the automatic loading section path 25 is provided on the same side as the plurality of manual loading section paths 31, 32, and 33. According to this configuration, the space for the detergent tank 17 and the softener tank 18 can be ensured more, and the tank housing 12 can be further prevented from coming into contact with the washing tub 3.
For example, the washing machine 1 may be configured such that the bath water injection path 33 is provided above the main water injection path 31 and the softener injection path 32, that is, the washing machine 1 may be configured such that water injection paths of some of the plurality of manual input portion paths 31, 32, and 33 are provided above and below the other water injection paths.
In the configuration example shown in fig. 11, for example, the residual water discharge portion 41 is provided in a portion of the bath water injection path 33 which is collected on the side of the tank storage portion 12 and is a portion of the washing machine 1 which is located as far as possible on the front side. Here, a grip portion for a user to grip when attaching and detaching is provided on the upper part of the front surface of the detergent tank 17 and the upper part of the front surface of the softener tank 18. Therefore, in a state where the detergent tank 17 and the softener tank 18 are accommodated in the tank accommodating portion 12, a space is formed below the above-described hand-fastening portion on the front side of the detergent tank 17 and the softener tank 18.
In the configuration example shown in fig. 11, the residual water discharge portion 41 is provided at a position facing the space formed on the front side of the detergent tank 17 and the softener tank 18 housed in the tank housing portion 12 from the side. Therefore, the water discharged from the residual water discharge portion 41 flows through the space formed below the hand-fastening portion of the detergent tank 17 and the hand-fastening portion of the softener tank 18 in the tank housing portion 12.
With this configuration, the lower surfaces of the detergent tank 17 and the softener tank 18 can be prevented from being wetted by the residual water in the tank housing portion 12. Further, since the residual water can be efficiently discharged without being retained between the tank storage 12 and the tank, dew condensation on the inner surface of the tank storage 12 and the back surface of the lid of the tank storage 12 can be suppressed.
As shown in fig. 12, a guide flow path 41b may be provided below the residual water treatment unit 41 to guide the water discharged from the residual water treatment unit 41 into the tank housing unit 12. With this configuration, the water discharged from the residual water treatment unit 41 can be reliably guided into the tank housing unit 12.
In the tank housing 12, the detergent tank 17 and the softener tank 18 may be mounted in the lateral direction of the washing machine 1.
The shapes of the detergent tank 17 and the softener tank 18 are not limited to a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and various shapes can be applied. The shape, size, etc. of the detergent tank 17 may be different from the shape, size, etc. of the softener tank 18.
The tank is not limited to the detergent tank 17 storing a detergent, and may be any tank storing various kinds of treatment agents for performing a certain treatment on laundry, such as a deodorant tank storing a deodorant and a degerming agent tank storing a degerming agent. The plurality of tanks stored in the tank storage unit 12 may be tanks storing the same type of treatment agent, or may be tanks storing different types of treatment agent. In addition, the washing machine 1 may be configured to house one tank in the tank housing 12. The detergent metering pump 26 and the softener metering pump 27 are not limited to pumps that suck liquid, and may be pumps that squeeze out liquid, for example.
The present embodiment is also applicable to a so-called vertical axis type washing machine in which the rotation center axis of the tub extends in the vertical direction. The present embodiment can also be applied to a washing machine having a drying function. The present embodiment can also be applied to a washing machine having no drying function. The present embodiment is applicable to various laundry treatment apparatuses, for example, if the laundry treatment apparatus performs a certain treatment such as deodorization, and sterilization of laundry.
The present embodiment is presented as an example, and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other modes, and various omissions, substitutions, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. The present embodiment and its modifications are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are included in the invention described in the claims and their equivalents.
