Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、洗濯から乾燥まで行なうドラム式洗濯機に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に、ドラム式洗濯機にあっては、出し入れ用の開閉扉が設けられた前板のほかに、両側板及び後板とで外周壁が形成された洗濯機本体内に、サスペンションによって支持された水槽と、水槽の内側で駆動モータにより水平軸を中心として回転自在に制御される洗い兼脱水ドラムが設けられている。そのほかに、循環、排水用のポンプ、加熱用のヒータ等の機能部品が設けられた構造となっており、洗濯機据付け場合のコーナ壁、あるいは、壁面一杯にセットして使用する。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
洗濯機本体内に設けられた各機能部品の補修・点検は、後板に設けられた後蓋を外すことで作業口が形成され、その作業口から補修・点検が行なわれる。
【0004】
このために、作業し易いように洗濯機本体を動かす必要があるが、洗濯から乾燥まで行なうドラム式洗濯機は、重量があるため、動かす作業が大変である。また、動かしても作業スペースが狭い場合には、広い場所へ移動しなければならない。いずれにしても、重量のある洗濯機本体を動かさなければならず補修・点検作業が大変面倒であった。
【0005】
そこで、この発明は、洗濯機本体を動かさずに補修・点検作業が行なえるようにしたドラム式洗濯機を提供することを目的としている。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記目的を達成するために、この発明は、出し入れ用の開閉扉が設けられた前板のほかに、両側板及び後板とで外周壁が形成された洗濯機本体内に支持されたフード部を有する水槽と、水槽の内側で駆動モータにより水平軸を中心として回転自在に制御される洗い兼脱水ドラムを備えたドラム式洗濯機において、前記洗濯機本体の前板と、前記フード部とを取外し自在に取付ける一方、前記洗い兼脱水ドラムを前方へ取出し可能に装着する。
【0011】
好ましい実施形態として、洗い兼脱水ドラムを、水平軸に前方向から取付ねじによりねじ止めする。
【0012】
これにより、洗濯機本体を動かすことなく前板を取外せば、洗い兼脱水ドラムを、前方へ取出せるようになり、水槽とドラムの間に入った異物の取出し、又は洗い兼脱水ドラムの補修・点検が容易に行なえる。
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図1乃至図8の図面を参照しながらこの発明の実施の形態を具体的に説明する。
【0014】
図1において、1はドラム式洗濯機3の外箱となる洗濯機本体を示している。洗濯機本体1は、出し入れ用の開閉扉5を有する前板7と、左右の側板9,9と、後板11とで外周壁が形成されると共に、上方には天板13が、下方には床板15がそれぞれ設けられた構造となっている。
【0015】
洗濯機本体1内には、水槽17と、水槽17の内側で水平軸19を中心として回転自在に支持された洗い兼脱水ドラム21と、洗い兼脱水ドラム21に回転動力を与える駆動モータ23が設けられている。その外に、水槽17の上部には、乾燥風循環用ダクト25が、水槽17の下部には、循環用及び排水用のポンプ27,29、水加温用ヒータ31、リントフィルタ33等が設けられている。なお、乾燥風循環用ダクト25には、乾燥風を循環させる送風機、熱風を生成するヒータ、水分を除湿する除湿器(いずれも図示していない)が配置されている。
【0016】
水槽17は、サスペンション35によって支持された支持ブラケット37に載置セットされると共に、水平軸19に、後方の軸受ハウジング39を介して回転自在に支持されている。軸受ハウジング39は、ベアリング軸受41に固定ねじ43により支持され、ベアリング軸受41と水平軸19の間にはベアリング45が圧入されている。これにより、円滑な回転が確保され、水平軸19からの騒音の低減が図られている。
【0017】
水平軸19は、背面側にプーリ46が装着される一方、前面側には、洗い兼脱水ドラム21のドラム支持部材47が前方から取付ねじ49によりねじ止めされている。
【0018】
したがって、図8に示す如く取付ねじ49を取外すことで洗い兼脱水ドラム21の取外しが可能となる。
【0019】
この場合、水槽17の前面開口フード部17aは、本体胴部17bに対して係止部51により着脱自在に係合され、洗い兼脱水ドラム21の取外し前段工程において、予め取外すようになる。
【0020】
水平軸19の背面側に装着されたプーリ46には、支持ブラケット37に固定支持された駆動モータ23のモータプーリ53からベルト55を介して回転動力が与えられるようになっている。
【0021】
一方、洗濯機本体1の外周壁を形成する左右の側板9,9と後板11とは平面からみてコ字状に一体に連続成形され、前板7は、両側板9,9に対して着脱自在に取付けられている。
【0022】
前板7の上部には、操作パネル部57と洗剤投入ケース部59がそれぞれ配置されている。
【0023】
図1に示す如く、操作パネル部57の制御部には各操作釦61の選択によって洗濯から乾燥まで行なう運転モード63と、各操作釦61の選択によって洗濯から乾燥までの検査を行なう運転検査モード65が入力されており、運転検査モード65は、常時はオフ状態となっている。
【0024】
前板7は、プリコート鋼板、又は、プラスチックで形成されると共に、運転検査モード65をオンとするスイッチを兼ねる構造となっている。即ち、前板7が取付けられている時、操作パネル部57に設けられたスイッチ端子Sを押圧して運転検査モード65のオフの状態を確保すると共に、前板7を取外した時、スイッチ端子Sの押圧をやめることで、運転検査モード65のオンの状態が確保されるようになっている。
【0025】
前板7の外周フランジ7aの奥行き寸法aは、側板9の奥行き寸法bより短く設定され、側板9に設けられた取付フランジ67に、前板7の外周フランジ7aが取付ねじ69により着脱自在に取付けられている。
【0026】
したがって、取付ねじ69を取外すことで、洗濯機本体1の前面に大きな作業空間71が作られるようになる。
【0027】
なお、図6において、73は後板11に設けられた後蓋を示しており、後板11に対して着脱自在に取付けられている。
【0028】
このように構成されたドラム式洗濯機3によれば、通常は、各操作釦61を選択して操作することで運転モード63による洗濯から乾燥までが行なえる。
【0029】
一方、補修・点検を行なう場合には、前板7を取外せば、前面に作業空間71が作られるようになる。したがって、洗濯機本体1を動かすことなく前面側から補修・点検が行なえる。
【0030】
また、図8に示す如く、洗い兼脱水ドラム21を前方から取出すようにすれば、水槽17とドラム21の間に入った異物の取出しや、水槽17の底部に設置された水加熱用ヒータ31の修理・点検が容易に行なえる。
【0031】
また、運転検査モード65によって、直接目で確認しながら、給水、排水、ドラム回転、水洩れの有無、循環水の挙動、脱水時の振動等の確認及び配線と他の部品との干渉対策作業が容易に行なえるようになる。
【0032】
【発明の効果】
以上、説明したように、この発明のドラム式洗濯機によれば、次のような効果を奏する。
【0033】
(1)前板及びフード部をそれぞれ取外すことができるため、洗濯機本体を動かすことなく洗い兼脱水ドラムを前方から取出せるため、広い開放空間によって水槽とドラムの間に異物が入った場合の取出しや、水槽の底部に設置された水加熱用ヒータの修理・点検が容易に行なうことができる。

[0020]
The pulley 46 mounted on the rear side of the horizontal shaft 19 is supplied with rotational power via a belt 55 from a motor pulley 53 of the drive motor 23 fixedly supported by the support bracket 37.
[0021]
On the other hand, the left and right side plates 9 and 9 forming the outer peripheral wall of the washing machine main body 1 and the rear plate 11 are integrally and continuously formed in a U-shape as viewed from a plane, and the front plate 7 is It is attached detachably.
[0022]
An operation panel section 57 and a detergent charging case section 59 are arranged on the upper portion of the front plate 7.
[0023]
As shown in FIG. 1, the control unit of the operation panel unit 57 includes an operation mode 63 for performing washing to drying by selecting each operation button 61 and a driving inspection mode for performing inspection from washing to drying by selecting each operation button 61. 65 has been input, and the operation inspection mode 65 is always off.
[0024]
The front plate 7 is formed of a pre-coated steel plate or plastic, and has a structure also serving as a switch for turning on the operation inspection mode 65. That is, when the front plate 7 is attached, the switch terminal S provided on the operation panel portion 57 is pressed to secure the OFF state of the operation inspection mode 65, and when the front plate 7 is removed, the switch terminal By stopping the pressing of S, the ON state of the driving inspection mode 65 is ensured.
[0025]
The depth dimension a of the outer peripheral flange 7a of the front plate 7 is set shorter than the depth dimension b of the side plate 9, and the outer peripheral flange 7a of the front plate 7 is detachably attached to the mounting flange 67 provided on the side plate 9 by the mounting screw 69. Installed.
[0026]
Therefore, by removing the mounting screw 69, a large working space 71 is created in the front of the washing machine main body 1.
[0027]
In FIG. 6, reference numeral 73 denotes a rear lid provided on the rear plate 11, which is detachably attached to the rear plate 11.
[0028]
According to the drum type washing machine 3 configured as described above, normally, from the washing to the drying in the operation mode 63 can be performed by selecting and operating each operation button 61.
[0029]
On the other hand, when performing repair / inspection, if the front plate 7 is removed, a work space 71 will be created in the front. Therefore, repair / inspection can be performed from the front side without moving the washing machine main body 1.
[0030]
Further, as shown in FIG. 8, if the washing and dewatering drum 21 is taken out from the front, foreign matter that has entered between the water tank 17 and the drum 21 can be taken out, and the water heating heater 31 installed at the bottom of the water tank 17 can be used. Can be easily repaired and inspected.
[0031]
In addition, the operation inspection mode 65 is used to check the water supply, drainage, drum rotation, presence / absence of water leakage, circulating water behavior, vibration during dehydration, etc., and to prevent wiring from interfering with other parts while directly checking with the eyes. Can be easily performed.
[0032]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the drum type washing machine of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.
[0033]
(1) Since the front plate and the hood can be removed separately, the washing and dewatering drum can be taken out from the front without moving the washing machine body, so that a large open space allows foreign matter to enter between the water tank and the drum. Removal and repair / inspection of the water heater installed at the bottom of the water tank can be easily performed.
