Description

本発明は、洗濯機の洗濯槽に洗剤や柔軟剤等を投入する洗剤投入装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a detergent charging device that loads a detergent, a softening agent, and the like into a washing tub of a washing machine.

洗濯機には、洗濯時に洗剤や柔軟剤、仕上げ剤などを洗濯槽に自動的に投入する洗剤投入装置を備えたものがある。この種の洗剤投入装置は、あらかじめ洗剤を入れておく洗剤ケースと、上記洗剤ケースを引き出し可能に収納する枠体とを備え、洗剤ケースを引き出して内部に洗剤等を入れ、枠体に押し込んで収納するようになっている。これにより、洗濯機の運転時に、洗濯行程に応じて、洗剤等が洗濯槽に自動的に投入される。   Some washing machines include a detergent loading device that automatically loads a detergent, a softening agent, a finishing agent, and the like into a washing tub during washing. This type of detergent charging device has a detergent case in which detergent is put in advance, and a frame for storing the detergent case in such a manner that the detergent case can be pulled out. It comes to store. Thereby, at the time of operation of the washing machine, detergent or the like is automatically put into the washing tub according to the washing process.

上記洗剤ケースは、枠体との間の隙間が狭すぎると出し入れしにくくなる一方、広すぎるとがたつきが大きくなって操作感が悪くなる。そこで、洗剤ケースと枠体との間に、スプリング部材によって洗剤ケースまたは枠体に押し付けられるスライディングバーを設けて、ぐらつきを防止する構成が提案されている（例えば、特許文献１参照。）。   When the gap between the detergent case and the frame is too narrow, it becomes difficult to put in and out, while when it is too wide, the play becomes large and the feeling of operation becomes worse. Then, the structure which provides the sliding bar pressed against a detergent case or a frame with a spring member between detergent cases and a frame, and prevents wobbling is proposed (for example, refer to patent documents 1).

欧州特許出願公開第１４４９９５１号明細書European Patent Application No. 1449951

しかしながら、上記のように洗剤ケースまたは枠体に押し付けられるスライディングバーが設けられる場合には、洗剤ケースの引き出し位置から枠体の最奥に押し込むまで、常に摩擦抵抗が働き、がたつきはなくても、必ずしも操作感を良好にすることは容易でないうえ、スライディングバーや洗剤ケースまたは枠体が摩耗して操作感が変化しやすいという課題を有していた。   However, when a sliding bar is provided that is pressed against the detergent case or frame as described above, frictional resistance always works and there is no rattling until the detergent case is pushed from the drawer position to the back of the frame. However, it is not always easy to improve the operational feeling, and the sliding bar, the detergent case, or the frame body is worn and the operational feeling tends to change.

本発明は、かかる点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、良好な操作感を容易に得られるようにすることにある。   This invention is made | formed in view of this point, The objective is to make it easy to obtain a favorable operation feeling.

In each of the following embodiments, components having functions similar to those of the other embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

《発明の実施形態１》
実施形態１の洗濯機の洗剤投入装置は、図１に示すように、洗剤が収容される洗剤収容部１０２と、柔軟剤や仕上げ剤などの洗濯補助剤が収容される補助剤収容部１０３とを有する洗剤ケース１０１、および上記洗剤ケース１０１を引き出し自在に収納する枠体２０１を備えて構成されている。上記洗剤ケース１０１の洗剤収容部１０２と補助剤収容部１０３とは、把手部１０４、および連結部１０５によって連結されている。このような洗剤投入装置は、例えば図示しない洗濯機の上部付近に設けられ、あらかじめ収容された洗剤等が洗濯行程に応じて洗濯機の洗濯槽に自動的に投入されるようになっている。 Embodiment 1 of the Invention
As shown in FIG. 1, the detergent charging device for the washing machine according to the first embodiment includes a detergent container 102 in which a detergent is stored, and an auxiliary agent container 103 in which a washing auxiliary agent such as a softener and a finishing agent is stored And a frame body 201 for retractably storing the detergent case 101. The detergent container 102 and the auxiliary agent container 103 of the detergent case 101 are connected by a handle 104 and a connecting part 105. Such a detergent charging device is provided, for example, in the vicinity of an upper portion of a washing machine (not shown), and a detergent or the like stored in advance is automatically charged into a washing tub of the washing machine according to a washing process.

上記洗剤収容部１０２は、例えば、底部に洗剤流出穴１０２ａが設けられ、液体の洗剤が収容された状態で洗濯水が導入されることによって、サイホンの原理により洗剤および洗濯水が上記洗剤流出穴１０２ａから洗濯槽に投入されるようになっている。また、補助剤収容部１０３は、例えば、奥側の端部に壁面が存在しない補助剤流出開口１０３ａを有し、粉状の補助剤が収容された状態で洗濯水が導入されることによって、補助剤が洗い流されるようにして洗濯槽に投入されるようになっている。   The detergent container 102 is provided with, for example, a detergent outflow hole 102a at the bottom, and the washing water is introduced in a state where the liquid detergent is contained, so that the detergent and the washing water are introduced into the detergent outflow hole according to the principle of siphon. 102a is put into the washing tub. In addition, the auxiliary agent storage unit 103 has, for example, an auxiliary agent outflow opening 103a having no wall surface at the end on the back side, and the washing water is introduced in a state where the powdery auxiliary agent is stored, The auxiliary agent is poured into the washing tub so as to be washed away.

枠体２０１は、側壁の内側にばね保持部２０２・２０３が設けられ、両者の間に、それぞれ凸状の第１の湾曲部２０４ａと第２の湾曲部２０４ｂ（第１の押圧部、第２の押圧部）とが結合部２０４ｃの部分で結合された形状を有する湾曲板ばね２０４が取り付けられている。このような湾曲板ばね２０４は、２枚の板ばねが結合部２０４ｃの部分で接合されて形成されてもよいし、１枚の板ばねが結合部２０４ｃの部分で折り曲げられて形成されてもよい。また、折り曲げられて形成される場合には、同図に示すように鋭角に折り曲げられるのに限らず、第１、第２の湾曲部２０４ａ・２０４ｂとは逆の曲率で緩やかに湾曲するように折り曲げられて形成されてもよい。上記湾曲板ばね２０４は、湾曲板ばね２０４の両端部、および結合部２０４ｃが枠体２０１の側壁に当接し、第１、第２の湾曲部２０４ａ・２０４ｂの中央部付近（凸状の先端部付近）が洗剤ケース１０１の側壁に当接するようになっている。なお、図１では洗剤ケース１０１の一方の側方だけを示しているが、他方の側方は、同様に湾曲板ばね２０４が設けられるようにしてもよいし、洗剤ケース１０１と枠体２０１とが直接摺接するようにしてもよい。   The frame 201 is provided with spring holding portions 202 and 203 inside the side wall, and a convex first curved portion 204a and a second curved portion 204b (a first pressing portion and a second pressing portion) are provided between the two. The curved leaf spring 204 having a shape in which the pressing portion is coupled at the coupling portion 204c is attached. Such a curved leaf spring 204 may be formed by joining two leaf springs at the coupling portion 204c, or may be formed by bending one leaf spring at the coupling portion 204c. Good. Further, in the case of being bent, it is not limited to be bent at an acute angle as shown in the same figure, but to be gently bent with a curvature opposite to that of the first and second bending portions 204a and 204b. It may be formed by being bent. In the curved leaf spring 204, both end portions of the curved leaf spring 204 and the coupling portion 204c abut against the side wall of the frame 201, and the vicinity of the central portion of the first and second curved portions 204a and 204b (convex tip portion). (Near) is in contact with the side wall of the detergent case 101. 1 shows only one side of the detergent case 101, the curved plate spring 204 may be similarly provided on the other side, or the detergent case 101 and the frame body 201 may be provided. May be in direct sliding contact.

上記のように構成された洗剤投入装置では、洗剤ケース１０１が枠体２０１にある程度押し込まれるまでは、両者の間に隙間が空いているために、洗剤ケース１０１を軽い操作力で押し込むことができる。そして洗剤ケース１０１が、湾曲板ばね２０４の第１の湾曲部２０４ａに当接する第１の位置まで押し込まれると、第１の湾曲部２０４ａが洗剤ケース１０１を押圧することによって、洗剤ケース１０１のがたつきが抑制される。さらに、洗剤ケース１０１が、湾曲板ばね２０４の第２の湾曲部２０４ｂに当接する第２の位置以上に押し込まれると、図２に示すように、第１の湾曲部２０４ａに加えて第２の湾曲部２０４ｂが洗剤ケース１０１を押圧することによって、さらに洗剤ケース１０１のがたつきが抑制されるとともに、洗剤ケース１０１を押し込むのに要する力が増加する。   In the detergent charging device configured as described above, until the detergent case 101 is pushed into the frame body 201 to some extent, there is a gap between them, so the detergent case 101 can be pushed in with a light operating force. . When the detergent case 101 is pushed to the first position where it abuts on the first curved portion 204a of the curved leaf spring 204, the first curved portion 204a presses the detergent case 101, whereby the detergent case 101 has a crack. Shaking is suppressed. Further, when the detergent case 101 is pushed beyond the second position where it comes into contact with the second curved portion 204b of the curved leaf spring 204, the second curved portion 204a is added to the second curved portion 204a as shown in FIG. When the curved portion 204b presses the detergent case 101, rattling of the detergent case 101 is further suppressed, and the force required to push the detergent case 101 increases.

上記のように、洗剤ケース１０１を枠体２０１に押し込むのにつれて、洗剤ケース１０１に、第１の湾曲部２０４ａによる押圧力だけが作用する段階と、２つの第１、第２の湾曲部２０４ａ・２０４ｂによる押圧力が作用する段階との２段階の状態が生じることによって、洗剤ケース１０１を押し込む際のがたつきやぐらつきを抑制するとともに、押し込む途中の操作力を小さく抑え、かつ、奥まで押し込んだときに、がたつきやぐらつきがより確実に抑制されるとともに、操作力が増加することによって洗剤ケース１０１が奥まで押し込まれたという感触を得やすくすることができる。したがって、洗濯機のユーザに良好な操作感を与えることが容易にできる。しかも、第１、第２の湾曲部２０４ａ・２０４ｂが両方とも洗剤ケース１０１を押圧するのは洗剤ケース１０１が枠体２０１の奥まで押し込まれたときだけなので、洗剤ケース１０１の当接、摺動部分や湾曲板ばね２０４の摩耗を少なく抑えて、安定的な操作性を保つことも容易にできる。また、洗剤ケース１０１を奥まで押し込んだときに両方の第１、第２の湾曲部２０４ａ・２０４ｂによ洗剤ケース１０１が押圧されることによって、洗濯機の運転時の異音発生を確実に抑制することもできる。   As described above, as the detergent case 101 is pushed into the frame 201, only the pressing force by the first curved portion 204a acts on the detergent case 101, and the two first and second curved portions 204a, As a result of the occurrence of a two-stage state where the pressing force is applied by 204b, rattling and wobble at the time of pushing in the detergent case 101 are suppressed, and the operating force in the middle of pushing in is suppressed to a small extent and pushed into the back. At this time, rattling and wobbling can be more reliably suppressed, and an increase in operating force can make it easier to obtain a feeling that the detergent case 101 has been pushed all the way into the back. Therefore, it is easy to give a good operational feeling to the user of the washing machine. In addition, since the first and second curved portions 204a and 204b both press the detergent case 101 only when the detergent case 101 is pushed all the way into the frame 201, the detergent case 101 abuts and slides. Stable operability can be easily maintained by suppressing the wear of the portion and the curved leaf spring 204 to a small extent. Further, when the detergent case 101 is pushed all the way in, the detergent case 101 is pressed by both the first and second curved portions 204a and 204b, thereby reliably suppressing the generation of abnormal noise during the operation of the washing machine. You can also

洗剤ケース１０１を押圧する押圧部としては、上記湾曲板ばね２０４のように一体的に形成されたものに限らず、例えば図３、図４に示すように別個の第１、第２の板ばね２１４・２１５（第１の押圧部、第２の押圧部）が用いられるなどしてもよい。同図の例では、これらの第１、第２の板ばね２１４・２１５は、それぞれ、略Ｕ字型の板ばねによって形成され、上記略Ｕ字型の一方側が、枠体２０１の側壁の内側に、ばね保持部２１２・２１３によって取り付けられ、他方側が、洗剤ケース１０１の側壁を押圧するようになっている。 << Embodiment 2 of the Invention >>
The pressing portion that presses the detergent case 101 is not limited to the one that is integrally formed like the curved leaf spring 204. For example, separate first and second leaf springs as shown in FIGS. 214, 215 (first pressing portion, second pressing portion) may be used. In the example of the figure, each of the first and second leaf springs 214 and 215 is formed by a substantially U-shaped leaf spring, and one side of the substantially U-shape is inside the side wall of the frame 201. The other side is configured to press against the side wall of the detergent case 101.

上記のように構成された洗剤投入装置においても、実施形態１で説明したのと同様に、洗剤ケース１０１を枠体２０１に押し込むのにつれて、洗剤ケース１０１に、第１の板ばね２１４による押圧力だけが作用する段階と、２つの第１、第２の板ばね２１４・２１５による押圧力が作用する段階との２段階の状態が生じることによって、洗剤ケース１０１を押し込む際のがたつきを抑制するとともに、押し込む途中の操作力を小さく抑え、かつ、奥まで押し込んだときに、がたつきやぐらつきがより確実に抑制されるとともに、操作力が増加することによって洗剤ケース１０１が奥まで押し込まれたという感触を得やすくすることができる。したがって、やはり、洗濯機のユーザに良好な操作感を与えることが容易にでき、また、洗剤ケース１０１等の摩耗を少なく抑えることなども容易にできる。   Also in the detergent charging device configured as described above, as described in the first embodiment, as the detergent case 101 is pushed into the frame body 201, the pressing force by the first leaf spring 214 is applied to the detergent case 101. The stage where only the action acts and the stage where the pressing force by the two first and second leaf springs 214 and 215 acts are generated, thereby suppressing rattling when the detergent case 101 is pushed in. At the same time, the operation force in the middle of pushing in is suppressed to a small extent, and when it is pushed all the way back, rattling and wobble are more reliably suppressed, and the detergent force 101 is pushed into the back by increasing the operation force. This makes it easier to get a feel for Therefore, it is easy to give a good operational feeling to the user of the washing machine, and it is also easy to suppress wear of the detergent case 101 and the like.
