Description

本発明は、リント捕獲手段を備えた洗濯機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a washing machine provided with lint capturing means.

従来、この種の洗濯機は、洗濯、すすぎ、脱水、及び乾燥運転時に発生するリントを効果的に捕獲する手段を洗濯機本体内に設けることが技術的に困難である場合に、洗濯機本体外に導出された排水ホース途中に外部型リント捕獲箱を設ける手段が考えられている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   Conventionally, this type of washing machine has a washing machine body when it is technically difficult to provide a means for effectively capturing lint generated during washing, rinsing, dehydration, and drying operations in the washing machine body. Means for providing an external lint capture box in the middle of a drainage hose led out (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

図4、図5は、特許文献1に記載された従来のリント捕獲箱を備えた洗濯機を示すものである。   4 and 5 show a washing machine provided with the conventional lint capturing box described in Patent Document 1. FIG.

図4の要部構成図に示すように、リント捕獲箱53は、洗濯機外箱21の側面側に配置された排水接続口47に接続した第1の排水ホース46aに入水口50を接続して洗濯水を流入し、内部でリントを捕獲した後、反対側の出水口51に接続した第2の排水ホース46より機外に流出させる、いわゆる外部型のリント捕獲手段を示している。   4, the lint capturing box 53 has a water inlet 50 connected to a first drain hose 46a connected to a drain outlet 47 disposed on the side of the washing machine outer box 21. As shown in FIG. Thus, a so-called external type lint capturing means is shown in which the washing water flows in, captures lint inside, and then flows out from the second drain hose 46 connected to the water outlet 51 on the opposite side.

第1の排水ホース46aに接続するリント捕獲箱53の入水口50と第2の排水ホース46を接続する出水口51とは、リント捕獲箱53の前後に配管された対面構造にして、入水口50側から出水口51側方向に排水を流し、内部のリントフィルタ61でリントを捕獲する構造となっている。   The water inlet 50 of the lint capture box 53 connected to the first drain hose 46a and the water outlet 51 connected to the second drain hose 46 have a face-to-face structure that is piped before and after the lint capture box 53. The structure is such that drainage flows from the 50 side toward the outlet 51 side and the lint filter 61 inside captures lint.

図5の外観斜視図に示すように、リント捕獲箱53は、洗濯機本体の側面に配置する構成上、横幅C寸法は大きくできない為、縦寸法Dを長く構成した平面形状が矩形の縦長形状としている。これは糸屑等のリントを多量に捕獲する容量を増やし、掃除回数を減らすためにはできるだけ縦寸法Dを長く構成するのが効果的であるからである。   As shown in the external perspective view of FIG. 5, the lint capturing box 53 is arranged on the side surface of the washing machine main body, and therefore the width C dimension cannot be increased. It is said. This is because it is effective to make the vertical dimension D as long as possible in order to increase the capacity to capture a large amount of lint such as lint and reduce the number of cleanings.

また、リント捕獲箱53の上方に開閉自在に蓋体54を配し、内方に格子状の捕獲部61aを有する糸くず捕獲用のリントフィルタ61をガイド溝62に収納して、リント捕獲箱53より着脱可能に配設し、掃除を容易に行なえるようにしている。   Further, a lid 54 is disposed above the lint capture box 53 so as to be freely opened and closed, and a lint filter 61 for lint capture having a lattice-shaped capture portion 61a on the inside is accommodated in the guide groove 62, so that the lint capture box It is arranged to be detachable from 53 so that it can be easily cleaned.

また、蓋体54の構成は、出水口51側に蓋体54を開閉自在に軸支するヒンジ部55を有し、対面側(入水口50側)に蓋体54との間で係脱する止メ具56を構成し、蓋体54を閉じた状態に保持できるようにしている。   Moreover, the structure of the cover body 54 has the hinge part 55 which pivotally supports the cover body 54 so that opening and closing is possible on the water outlet 51 side, and engages and disengages with the cover body 54 on the facing side (water inlet 50 side). A stopper 56 is formed so that the lid 54 can be held in a closed state.

リント捕獲箱53の開口周縁には、外方に突設された鍔部57を有し、この上面凹部にはゴム等の弾性体材質のパッキン58が埋設され、一方これに対向する蓋体54の周縁部にはリブ59が突設され、蓋54を閉じた時リブ59がパッキン58を弾力的に圧接し、水漏れの無い水密状態を得る構成である。   The lint capture box 53 has a flange 57 projecting outward at the periphery of the opening, and a packing 58 made of an elastic material such as rubber is embedded in the recess on the upper surface, while the lid 54 is opposed to this. A rib 59 protrudes from the peripheral edge of the rim, and when the lid 54 is closed, the rib 59 elastically presses the packing 58 to obtain a watertight state without water leakage.

また、蓋体54の材質やリント捕獲箱53や止メ具56の材質は、洗剤や漂白剤等洗浄補助剤に強くて生産性の良い合成樹脂、例えばポリプロプレン材料(PP)等で構成していた。

Further, the material of the lid 54 and the material of the lint capturing box 53 and the stopper 56 are made of a synthetic resin that is resistant to cleaning aids such as detergents and bleaches and has good productivity, such as a polypropylene material (PP). It was.

しかしながら、前記従来の構成では、蓋体54の開閉構成は、リント捕獲箱53の短辺側(図5のC側)に蓋体54を軸支するヒンジ部55を有し、対面側に蓋体の開閉機構の止メ具56を構成しているため、蓋体は長手方向の方持ち構造となり、長期使用により蓋体54全体の変形を生じ、パッキン58の締め代が確保できず蓋体部から水漏れしてしまう可能性があった。   However, in the above-described conventional configuration, the lid 54 is opened and closed with the hinge portion 55 that pivotally supports the lid 54 on the short side (the C side in FIG. 5) of the lint capturing box 53 and the lid 54 on the opposite side. Since the stopper 56 of the body opening / closing mechanism is configured, the lid has a longitudinal holding structure, and the entire lid 54 is deformed due to long-term use, so that the tightness of the packing 58 cannot be secured. There was a possibility of water leaking from the part.

さらに蓋体54のリブ59の長期使用時の変形によって蓋体54を閉める押さえ代が減少し、パッキン58の締め代が確保できず、圧接部から水漏れしてしまうという課題があった。   Further, there is a problem that the press margin for closing the lid body 54 is reduced due to deformation of the rib 59 of the lid body 54 during long-term use, the fastening margin of the packing 58 cannot be secured, and water leaks from the press contact portion.

またさらにパッキン58の反発力によって長期使用時に蓋体54が経年変化し、パッキン58の締め代が確保できず水漏れしてしまうという課題もあった。   In addition, due to the repulsive force of the packing 58, the lid body 54 has changed over time during long-term use, and there has been a problem that the fastening allowance of the packing 58 cannot be secured and water leaks.

本発明は上記課題を解決するものであり、長期使用でも蓋体からの水漏れの無いリント捕獲手段を備えた洗濯機を提供することを目的とする。   This invention solves the said subject, and it aims at providing the washing machine provided with the lint capture means which does not leak water from a cover body even if it uses for a long term.

上記の目的を達成するために、本発明の洗濯機は、洗濯機本体内の水槽内の水を排水ホース導出部から排出する排水ホースと、前記排水ホースに接続した、蓋体を有する平面形状が洗濯機本体の前後方向に長辺を有する矩形の容器状のリント捕獲箱と、前記リント捕獲箱の上方に蓋体と、前記蓋体を開閉自在に軸支する蝶番機構と前記蝶番機構の対面側に前記蓋体の開閉機構の操作部とを備え、前記蓋体にはゴムパッキンを装着して前記リント捕獲箱の上縁部に水密的に当接させ、前記蓋体には前記リント捕獲箱側壁の変形倒れこみを防止する変形防止リブを垂下形成し、前記リント捕獲箱と前記蓋体の材質を、タルク入りのポリプロプレン(PPF)材を使用したものである。   In order to achieve the above object, the washing machine of the present invention has a drain hose for draining water in a water tub in a washing machine body from a drain hose lead-out portion, and a planar shape having a lid connected to the drain hose. A rectangular container-like lint capture box having a long side in the front-rear direction of the washing machine body, a lid above the lint capture box, a hinge mechanism for pivotally supporting the lid so as to be openable and closable, and the hinge mechanism An operating portion of the lid opening / closing mechanism on the facing side, and a rubber packing is attached to the lid so as to be in watertight contact with an upper edge portion of the lint capture box, and the lint is attached to the lid A deformation prevention rib for preventing the collapse of the capture box side wall is suspended, and the lint capture box and the lid are made of polypropylene (PPF) material containing talc.

これによって、長期使用においても熱などによって蓋体の長手方向の変形が発生することなく、水漏れすることがない。   Thus, even in long-term use, the lid body is not deformed in the longitudinal direction due to heat or the like, and water does not leak.

本発明の洗濯機は、外部型のリント捕獲手段の長期使用においても開閉用の蓋体部からの水漏れをなくすことができる。   The washing machine of the present invention can eliminate water leakage from the lid for opening and closing even in the long-term use of the external type lint capturing means.

第1の発明は、洗濯機本体内に収められた水槽と、前記水槽内に洗濯脱水回転可能に設けた回転槽と、前記水槽内の水を前記洗濯機本体の排水ホース導出部から排出する排水ホースと、前記排水ホースに接続し平面形状が洗濯機本体の前後方向に長辺を有する矩形の容器状のリント捕獲箱と、前記リント捕獲箱の上方に蓋体と、前記蓋体を開閉自在に軸支する蝶番機構と前記蝶番機構の対面側に前記蓋体の開閉機構の操作部とを備え、前記蓋体にはゴムパッキンを装着して前記リント捕獲箱の上縁部に水密的に当接させ、前記蓋体には前記リント捕獲箱側壁の変形倒れこみを防止する変形防止リブを垂下形成し、前記リント捕獲箱と前記蓋体の材質を、タルク入りのポリプロプレン材を使用したことにより、熱変形に強く、蓋体の長手方向の変形や、開閉機構の蓋体を押さえるリブの変形を防止し、長期使用における蓋体部からの水漏れを防止する。   1st invention discharges the water in the water tank stored in the washing machine main body, the rotation tank provided in the water tank so that washing-and-dehydration rotation is possible, and the drainage hose lead-out part of the washing machine main body A drain hose, a rectangular container-like lint capture box connected to the drain hose and having a planar shape with long sides in the front-rear direction of the washing machine body, a lid above the lint capture box, and opening and closing the lid A hinge mechanism that pivots freely, and an operation portion of the opening / closing mechanism of the lid on the opposite side of the hinge mechanism, and a rubber packing is attached to the lid so that the upper edge of the lint capture box is watertight The lid body is formed with a deformation prevention rib depending on the side wall of the lint capture box to prevent the collapse of the lint capture box side wall. It is strong against thermal deformation, and the longitudinal direction of the lid And shape to prevent deformation of the ribs for pressing the lid opening and closing mechanism, preventing the water leakage from the lid portion in the long-term use.

第2の発明は、特に第1の発明の開閉機構の操作部は、材質にポリアセタール樹脂を使用したことにより、強度、摺動特性の優れたポリアセタール樹脂により、蓋体の開閉操作性を高めているので、開閉機構の操作部の変形を防止し、長期使用における蓋体部からの水漏れを防止できる。   According to the second aspect of the invention, in particular, the operation part of the opening / closing mechanism of the first aspect of the invention uses polyacetal resin as a material, so that the opening / closing operability of the lid is enhanced by the polyacetal resin having excellent strength and sliding characteristics. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the operation part of the opening / closing mechanism from being deformed and to prevent water leakage from the lid part in long-term use.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1A is a partial front view of a washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1B is a side view of a lint capture box installed in the washing machine, and FIG. 2A is the washing machine. FIG. 2B is a partial sectional view of the main part of the lint capture box of the washing machine, and FIG. 3 is an external perspective view of the lint capture box of the washing machine.

図1(a)の部分正面図において、リント捕獲箱6は、洗濯機本体1の側面に配置する構成上、設置場所などの制約では横幅寸法は大きくできない事から全体形状を幅薄く、図1(a)に示した幅寸法Bを、後述する排水ホース4の外形寸法Aとほぼ同寸法になるように設定して、省スペースを図っている。   In the partial front view of FIG. 1A, the lint capturing box 6 is arranged on the side surface of the washing machine body 1, and the overall width cannot be increased due to restrictions such as installation location. The width B shown in (a) is set so as to be substantially the same as the outer dimension A of the drainage hose 4 to be described later to save space.

図1(b)のリント捕獲箱設置状態側面図において、洗濯機本体1内に収められた水槽2と、水槽2内に回転可能に設けた回転槽3とを備え、この回転槽3内にて洗濯運転を行う。   In the lint capture box installation side view of FIG. 1 (b), a water tub 2 housed in the washing machine main body 1 and a rotating tub 3 rotatably provided in the water tub 2 are provided. Do the washing operation.

排水ホース4は、一端が水槽2の内底部2aに連通し、他端は洗濯機本体1の排水ホース導出部10を介してリント捕獲箱6の入水口7に通水可能に接続される。   One end of the drainage hose 4 communicates with the inner bottom portion 2 a of the water tub 2, and the other end is connected to the water inlet 7 of the lint capturing box 6 through the drainage hose lead-out portion 10 of the washing machine body 1 so as to be able to pass water.

排水ホース4の外径Aは、図1(a)で前述したように、リント捕獲箱6の横幅B寸法と近似させている。   The outer diameter A of the drainage hose 4 is approximated to the width B dimension of the lint capturing box 6 as described above with reference to FIG.

リント捕獲箱6には出水口8を設けて、出水側排水ホース12を接続し、リント捕獲箱6内部でリント、異物等を除去した排水を出水側排水ホース12から設置床面の排水口14に排出するように構成し、また内部に溜ったリント等を取り出し排除する為の蓋体5を上部に開閉自在に構成する。   The lint capture box 6 is provided with a water outlet 8, connected to a water discharge side drain hose 12, and drainage from which lint, foreign matter, etc. are removed inside the lint capture box 6 is drained from the drain side drain hose 12 to a drain outlet 14 on the installation floor surface. Further, the lid 5 for taking out and removing lint and the like accumulated in the inside is configured to be openable and closable at the top.

リント捕獲箱6の構成は、入水口7およびリント捕獲後の排水用の出水口8を同一の側面6aに、かつ入水口7が出水口8に対し上方になるように構成し、入水口7から流入した排水は落差により下方の出水口8に流れる。また、入水口7と反対側の一方の側面6b側には、蓋体5の開閉機構の操作部9を配置しているので、洗濯機前方からの操作性を高めている。   The lint capture box 6 is configured such that the water inlet 7 and the water outlet 8 for draining after lint capture are on the same side surface 6a, and the water inlet 7 is above the water outlet 8. The wastewater flowing in from the bottom flows into the outlet 8 below due to a drop. Moreover, since the operation part 9 of the opening / closing mechanism of the lid 5 is arranged on the side surface 6b side opposite to the water inlet 7, the operability from the front of the washing machine is enhanced.

図2(a)の断面図において、リント捕獲箱6の構成を説明すると、入水口7から流入したリント等を含む排水は、フィルタ体15の網目部15aで捕捉され、下方の出水口8より排出される。   In the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2A, the configuration of the lint capturing box 6 will be described. Drainage containing lint and the like flowing from the water inlet 7 is captured by the mesh portion 15 a of the filter body 15, and from the lower water outlet 8. Discharged.

平面形状が細長の矩形形状のリント捕獲箱6は、入水口7および出水口8側の側面6a上方開口縁部に、蓋体5の開閉軸となる蝶番機構17を設け、一方の側面6b側上方開口縁部に、蓋体5に係合するリブ9aを有する開閉機構の操作部9を配する。   The rectangular lint capturing box 6 having an elongated planar shape is provided with a hinge mechanism 17 serving as an opening / closing axis of the lid 5 at the upper opening edge of the side surface 6a on the water inlet 7 and water outlet 8 side, and on the side surface 6b side. An operation unit 9 of an opening / closing mechanism having a rib 9a that engages with the lid 5 is disposed on the upper opening edge.

蓋体5を開放する場合は、開閉機構の操作部9を押圧してリブ9aと蓋体5との係着を外して、蓋体5を開きリント捕獲箱6の内部に配したフィルタ体15を取り出して、内部に補足されて溜ったリント等を除去する。   When opening the lid 5, the operating portion 9 of the opening / closing mechanism is pressed to disengage the rib 9 a and the lid 5, the lid 5 is opened, and the filter body 15 arranged inside the lint capturing box 6. To remove lint and the like collected inside.

図2(b)の部分断面図は、図2(a)のリント捕獲箱6の上縁部および蓋体5のSS部断面を示したもので、蓋体5にはゴムパッキン11を装着して、リント捕獲箱6の側壁上縁部6dに水密的に当接させてリント捕獲箱6との防水を確保する。また、蓋体5の一部に、側壁6cに近接して変形防止リブ13を下方に向けて延設し、リント捕獲箱6の側壁6cの外方への変形や倒れこみを抑止する。   The partial cross-sectional view of FIG. 2B shows a cross section of the upper edge portion of the lint capturing box 6 and the SS portion of the lid 5 shown in FIG. 2A. The lid 5 is provided with a rubber packing 11. Thus, the watertight contact with the upper edge 6d of the side wall of the lint capture box 6 is ensured to be waterproof with the lint capture box 6. Further, a deformation preventing rib 13 extends downward from a part of the lid 5 so as to be close to the side wall 6c so as to prevent the side wall 6c of the lint capturing box 6 from being deformed or collapsed outward.

ゴムパッキン11は、断面略矩形で一部に斜面11aを形成し、側面6cの上縁部6dに当接させて密閉状態を構成する。   The rubber packing 11 has a substantially rectangular cross section, a slope 11a is formed in part, and abuts against the upper edge 6d of the side surface 6c to form a sealed state.

図3においてリント捕獲箱6内方には洗濯水が充満する構成であるため、平面形状が細長の矩形形状のリント捕獲箱6は、その長手方向の側面6c内部からの水圧により外方に変形しやすい。上記長手方向の側壁6cの上縁部6dの位置を内方に抱え込み規制するように、蓋体5の長手方向長辺5aに変形防止リブ13を一体に垂下形成して、側壁6cおよび上縁部6dの変形を防止する。   In FIG. 3, since the inside of the lint capturing box 6 is filled with washing water, the rectangular lint capturing box 6 having a slender planar shape is deformed outward by water pressure from the inside of the longitudinal side surface 6c. It's easy to do. The deformation preventing ribs 13 are integrally suspended from the longitudinal long side 5a of the lid 5 so that the position of the upper edge 6d of the longitudinal side wall 6c is held inward to regulate the side wall 6c and the upper edge. The deformation of the portion 6d is prevented.

さらに、リント捕獲箱6と蓋体5を構成する材料には、ポリプロプレン樹脂よりも熱膨張係数の小さいタルク入りのポリプロプレン(PPF)材を使用する。   Further, as a material constituting the lint capturing box 6 and the lid 5, a polypropylene (PPF) material containing talc having a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than that of the polypropylene resin is used.

また、開閉機構の操作部9には、耐熱性、強度、摺動特性の優れたポリアセタール樹脂(POM)を使用する。   The operation unit 9 of the opening / closing mechanism uses polyacetal resin (POM) having excellent heat resistance, strength, and sliding characteristics.

さらに、ゴムパッキン11のゴム硬度(JISK6253 デュロメータ タイプA)を20度(A20)前後の低硬度に設定することでより、ゴムパッキン11の反発を軽減し、蓋体5の変形を防止する。   Furthermore, by setting the rubber hardness (JISK6253 durometer type A) of the rubber packing 11 to a low hardness around 20 degrees (A20), the rebound of the rubber packing 11 is reduced and the deformation of the lid 5 is prevented.

以上のように構成された洗濯機のリント捕獲構成について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。   About the lint capture structure of the washing machine comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.

蓋体5とリント捕獲箱6の上縁部との間にゴムパッキン11を水密的に装着しているので、水漏れの恐れは無い。   Since the rubber packing 11 is mounted in a watertight manner between the lid 5 and the upper edge of the lint capturing box 6, there is no risk of water leakage.

蓋体5の長辺5aには外側からリント捕獲箱6を抱え込む変形防止リブ13を設けることによって、高水圧がリント捕獲箱6内部にかかった場合でもリント捕獲箱6の長辺部6dの変形を防止できるので、ゴムパッキン11と上縁部6dとの接触圧を低下させることなく水漏れ防ぐことができる。   The long side 5a of the lid 5 is provided with a deformation preventing rib 13 for holding the lint capture box 6 from the outside, so that the long side portion 6d of the lint capture box 6 is deformed even when high water pressure is applied to the inside of the lint capture box 6. Therefore, it is possible to prevent water leakage without reducing the contact pressure between the rubber packing 11 and the upper edge portion 6d.

さらに、リント捕獲箱6と蓋体5の材料には、フィラー(配合充填材)としてタルク(水酸化マグネシウムと珪酸塩を主成分の粘土鉱物)を、10〜20%配合したポリプロプレン(PPF)材を使用することにより、洗剤や洗浄補助剤等に強く、熱変形に強い構成としている。   Furthermore, the material of the lint capture box 6 and the lid 5 is made of polypropylene (PPF) containing 10 to 20% of talc (a clay mineral mainly composed of magnesium hydroxide and silicate) as a filler (compounding filler). By using the material, it is strong against detergents and cleaning aids, and is resistant to thermal deformation.

特に近年、洗濯液に温水を使用して洗浄効果を高める事が多用されるが、高温の排水がリント捕獲箱6に流入された際の、リント捕獲箱6の変形を低減するものである。   In particular, in recent years, it has been frequently used to increase the cleaning effect by using warm water as a washing liquid, but this reduces the deformation of the lint capture box 6 when high temperature wastewater flows into the lint capture box 6.

また、開閉機構の操作部9には、強度、摺動特性の優れたポリアセタール樹脂(POM)を使用し、蓋体5の開閉操作性を高めているので、図2(a)で示した開閉機構の操作部9のリブ9aの変形を防止し、着脱の繰り返しや長期使用における蓋体部からの水漏れを防止できる。   The opening / closing mechanism operating portion 9 is made of polyacetal resin (POM) having excellent strength and sliding characteristics to improve the opening / closing operability of the lid 5, so that the opening / closing shown in FIG. It is possible to prevent the rib 9a of the operation portion 9 of the mechanism from being deformed, and to prevent water leakage from the lid portion in repeated attachment / detachment and long-term use.

さらにゴムパッキン11の硬度を20度(A20)前後に設定することでより、ゴムパッキン11の反発力を軽減できるので、蓋体5の変形を防止でき、より信頼性の高い水漏れ防止が可能となる。   Furthermore, by setting the hardness of the rubber packing 11 to around 20 degrees (A20), the repulsive force of the rubber packing 11 can be reduced, so that deformation of the lid 5 can be prevented and water leakage can be more reliably prevented. It becomes.

以上のように、本実施の形態においては、リント捕獲箱と蓋体の材料にはタルク入りのポリプロプレン(PPF)材を使用し、熱変形を少なくするとともに、開閉機構の操作部にはポリアセタール樹脂(POM)を使用することにより、熱変形に強く、摺動特性に優れているので、蓋体の長手方向の変形や、開閉機構の蓋体を押さえるリブの変形を防止し、長期使用における蓋体部からの水漏れを防止し、さらに蓋体とリント捕獲箱上縁部にゴムパッキンを水密的に装着し、かつゴムパッキンの硬度を20度(A20)前後に設定することで、ゴムパッキンの反発を軽減し、蓋体の変形を防止するので、確実な水漏れ防止が可能となる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, polypropylene (PPF) material containing talc is used as the material for the lint capturing box and the lid, and thermal deformation is reduced, and the operation unit of the opening / closing mechanism is polyacetal. By using a resin (POM), it is resistant to thermal deformation and has excellent sliding characteristics. Therefore, it prevents deformation in the longitudinal direction of the lid and deformation of the rib that holds the lid of the opening / closing mechanism. By preventing water from leaking from the lid, rubber packing is attached to the lid and the upper edge of the lint capture box in a watertight manner, and the hardness of the rubber packing is set to around 20 degrees (A20). Since the rebound of the packing is reduced and the lid is prevented from being deformed, it is possible to surely prevent water leakage.
