また、前壁５０ｄの上下方向の形状は、上方になるに従って前方に突出するように屈曲させた曲面で形成している。前壁５０ｄは、上端部から下端部まで内槽４の内部周壁に対して、連続的あるいは不連続的に変化する傾斜角または一定の傾斜角を有して傾斜している。   Further, the shape of the front wall 50d in the vertical direction is a curved surface that is bent so as to protrude forward as it goes upward. The front wall 50d is inclined with respect to the inner peripheral wall of the inner tank 4 from the upper end portion to the lower end portion, with an inclination angle that changes continuously or discontinuously or a constant inclination angle.

図５は、本実施の形態の洗濯機のランプ構成部を示す要部断面図であり、図５に基づいて、上部枠体４８と支持部材５０及び内槽４内を照らすランプユニット１２（照明手段）の構成を説明する。   FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a main part showing a lamp component of the washing machine according to the present embodiment. Based on FIG. Means) will be described.

支持部材５０のランプユニット配設部５０ｃには、ランプユニット１２が配設される。ランプユニット１２には、ランプ３２がランプホルダー３３により保持されており、ランプ３２は、リード線（図示せず）を介して制御手段（図示せず）に接続され、制御段により点等制御される。前壁５０ｄには、ランプ３２に対向する位置に孔５０ｆが穿設し、孔５０ｆを、透光性部材で構成されるランプカバー１３により水密に閉塞している。これにより、ランプ３２を水等から保護しつつ、ランプ３２の光によって内槽４内を奥斜め上方から照射することにより、内槽４内部の衣類を確認することができる。   The lamp unit 12 is disposed in the lamp unit disposition portion 50 c of the support member 50. In the lamp unit 12, a lamp 32 is held by a lamp holder 33. The lamp 32 is connected to a control means (not shown) via a lead wire (not shown), and is controlled by a control stage in terms of points and the like. The A hole 50f is formed in the front wall 50d at a position facing the lamp 32, and the hole 50f is water-tightly closed by the lamp cover 13 made of a translucent member. Thereby, the clothes inside the inner tub 4 can be confirmed by irradiating the inside of the inner tub 4 with the light of the lamp 32 from diagonally above while protecting the lamp 32 from water or the like.

上記の構成による洗濯機の動作、作用は以下の通りである。   The operation and action of the washing machine configured as described above are as follows.

外蓋４９を後方に開け、内槽４内に洗濯物である衣類を投入し、洗剤収納部３５に洗剤を投入し、外蓋４９を閉めて運転を開始すると、洗濯工程が開始する。   When the outer lid 49 is opened rearward, clothes as laundry are put into the inner tub 4, the detergent is put into the detergent container 35, the outer lid 49 is closed and the operation is started, the washing process starts.

洗濯工程では、衣類の量に応じて所定の水位まで給水した後、モータ８を駆動する。モータ８の動力は、伝達機構部のクラッチ９により洗濯・脱水軸５を介してパルセータ６に伝達し、パルセータ６が回転する。パルセータ６が回転すると、内槽４の外周側下層部の衣類がパルセータ６の攪拌用突出部１１に引っかかり、中心部へ引き込まれる。内槽４の中心下層部の衣類は、引き込まれた衣類により、内槽４の上層部へ押し上げられる。このようにして内槽４内の衣類を攪拌して、衣類同士、または内槽４の内部周壁やパルセータ６との接触により作用する機械力と、水流力により衣類の洗濯が行われる。   In the washing step, the motor 8 is driven after supplying water to a predetermined water level according to the amount of clothing. The power of the motor 8 is transmitted to the pulsator 6 through the washing / dehydrating shaft 5 by the clutch 9 of the transmission mechanism, and the pulsator 6 rotates. When the pulsator 6 rotates, the clothes on the outer peripheral side lower layer part of the inner tub 4 are caught by the stirring protrusion 11 of the pulsator 6 and drawn into the center part. The clothing at the center lower layer portion of the inner tub 4 is pushed up to the upper layer portion of the inner tub 4 by the drawn-in clothing. In this way, the clothes in the inner tub 4 are agitated, and the clothes are washed by the mechanical force acting by the contact between the clothes or the inner peripheral wall of the inner tub 4 or the pulsator 6 and the water flow force.

洗濯工程の後、すすぎ行程が行われ、すすぎ行程の後、脱水工程が行われる。   After the washing process, a rinsing process is performed, and after the rinsing process, a dehydrating process is performed.

脱水工程では、排水弁２２を開いて内槽４内の水を排水ホース２４より排水した後、伝達機構部のクラッチ９を脱水側に切り換えて、モータ８の動力を、洗濯・脱水軸５を介して内槽４に伝達し、内槽４を高速で回転させ、衣類に遠心力を与えることにより、水分を衣類から分離する。   In the dehydration process, the drain valve 22 is opened and the water in the inner tub 4 is drained from the drain hose 24, and then the clutch 9 of the transmission mechanism is switched to the dehydration side to power the motor 8 and the washing / dehydrating shaft 5 The moisture is separated from the clothing by transmitting to the inner tub 4 and rotating the inner tub 4 at a high speed and applying a centrifugal force to the clothing.

これらの工程を通じて衣類が洗濯される。   Clothing is washed through these processes.

利用者は、運転終了後に外蓋４９を開放し、内槽４から衣類を取り出す。外蓋４９の動作と連動してランプ３２が点灯し、ランプ３２が内槽４の内部を照射するので、内槽４内の洗濯物の取り残しを抑制することができる。   The user opens the outer lid 49 after the operation and takes out the clothes from the inner tub 4. Since the lamp 32 is lit in conjunction with the operation of the outer lid 49 and the lamp 32 irradiates the inside of the inner tub 4, the remaining laundry in the inner tub 4 can be suppressed.

内槽４内の衣類を取り出す際には、衣類は最終の工程で遠心脱水されるので、内槽４の内部周壁に沿って張り付いた状態となっている。   When the clothes in the inner tub 4 are taken out, the clothes are centrifugally dehydrated in the final process, so that they are stuck along the inner peripheral wall of the inner tub 4.

洗濯機内部に残った衣類を確認する際に、利用者は内槽４内を覗き込むが、上部洗濯物出入口７３の一部を構成する支持部材５０の前壁５０ｄが利用者から見て下方になるに従って奥側に向かって傾斜しているので、利用者の内槽４奥側への視野が広がり、ランプ３２の照射と相まって内槽４奥側に残った衣類を容易に見つけることができる。   When checking clothes remaining inside the washing machine, the user looks into the inner tub 4, but the front wall 50 d of the support member 50 constituting a part of the upper laundry entrance 73 is downward as viewed from the user. Since it is inclined toward the back side, the field of view of the user toward the back side of the inner tub 4 is widened, and it is possible to easily find clothes remaining on the back side of the inner tub 4 in combination with the irradiation of the lamp 32. .

上部洗濯物出入口７３は、支持部材５０の前壁５０ｄの奥方向への傾斜によって底側（下方）が広くなるので、衣類を持ち上げ取り出す際に、衣類の引っかかりの可能性が少なくなり、衣類の取出し作業性が向上する（図３中の矢印Ａ参照）。   The upper laundry entrance / exit 73 becomes wider at the bottom (downward) due to the inclination of the front wall 50d of the support member 50 in the back direction, so that when the clothes are lifted and taken out, there is less possibility of the clothes being caught. Take-out workability is improved (see arrow A in FIG. 3).

衣類を投入する際には、上部洗濯物出入口７３が内槽４に向かって広がっているので、衣類の状態を見ながら満遍なく内槽４内に投入することができ、効率よく衣類の洗濯を行うことができる。また、外槽３や内槽４の上部を掃除する際にも、掃除の利便性が向上する。   When putting in clothes, since the upper laundry entrance 73 spreads toward the inner tub 4, it can be put into the inner tub 4 uniformly while observing the state of the clothes, and the clothes are efficiently washed. be able to. Moreover, when cleaning the upper part of the outer tank 3 or the inner tank 4, the convenience of cleaning improves.

さらに、図３に示すように、ランプ３２が奥斜め上方から内槽４内を照らすので、利用者の手前側に残った洗濯物や、靴下、ハンカチ等の小さな目立たない衣類等であっても容易に発見することができ、洗濯終了時に衣類の取り残しの可能性が少なくなる。特に洗濯機は、部屋の隅に設置されることが多いので、ランプ３２を配設することは有効である。   Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, since the lamp 32 illuminates the inside of the inner tub 4 from the rear upper side, it may be a laundry remaining on the front side of the user or small inconspicuous clothes such as socks and handkerchiefs. It is easy to find and less likely to leave clothing at the end of washing. In particular, since a washing machine is often installed in a corner of a room, it is effective to dispose the lamp 32.

ランプユニット１２は、支持部材５０の傾斜させた前壁５０ｄに取り付けているので、ランプユニット１２の取り付けのための構成や、ランプ３２の照射方向に配慮した特別な構成をとることなく、ランプ３２が内槽４内部を照射する方向に取り付けることができる。図３には、一例として照射範囲１５を示しているが、照射角度や照射範囲の調整は、ランプユニット１２の取付角度により、洗濯機の形態によって容易に変更することができる。また、ランプ３２の照射のタイミングも、外蓋４９との連動だけでなく、利用者が操作部３７を操作して点灯するよう構成してもよく、利用者の利便性の向上を鑑みて変更して
も良い。 Since the lamp unit 12 is attached to the inclined front wall 50d of the support member 50, the lamp 32 can be used without taking a configuration for mounting the lamp unit 12 or a special configuration considering the irradiation direction of the lamp 32. Can be attached in the direction of irradiating the inside of the inner tank 4. Although FIG. 3 shows the irradiation range 15 as an example, the adjustment of the irradiation angle and the irradiation range can be easily changed depending on the form of the washing machine depending on the mounting angle of the lamp unit 12. Further, the irradiation timing of the lamp 32 may be configured not only in conjunction with the outer lid 49 but also to be turned on by the user operating the operation unit 37, and is changed in consideration of improvement in convenience for the user. You may do it.

以上より、ランプ取付構成を簡素化し、安価な構成とすることができ、信頼性の高い構成とすることができる。   As described above, the lamp mounting configuration can be simplified, an inexpensive configuration can be achieved, and a highly reliable configuration can be achieved.

また、支持部材５０で形成した奥側に傾斜させた前壁５０ｄは、上部枠体４８により構成することができる。   Further, the front wall 50 d formed by the support member 50 and inclined to the back side can be constituted by the upper frame body 48.

以上のように、本発明にかかる洗濯機は、洗濯物出入口が作成に簡便な形状でありながらも、衣類の取出及び投入に関して利便性の高いものであるので、利用者に使い勝手がよく、安価な洗濯機を提供することができ、洗濯機のみならず、乾燥機能が付帯されている各種洗濯乾燥機等にも広く適用できる。   As described above, the washing machine according to the present invention has a convenient shape for taking out and putting in clothes even though the laundry doorway has a simple shape for creation, so that it is convenient for the user and inexpensive. Can be provided, and can be widely applied not only to a washing machine but also to various washing dryers having a drying function.
