しかしながら、このような従来の構成では、送風蛇腹ホース２０および給水蛇腹ホース２１がともに供給口部材５８を介して外槽カバー１５に回動自在に接続されており、さらに給水蛇腹ホース２１は略Ｌ字形状をしているため、給水蛇腹ホース２１が送風蛇腹ホース２０側に回動すると、双方のホース同士が接触する。送風蛇腹ホース２０、給水蛇腹ホース２１はともに回動自在に接続されているため、本来は、ホースの弾性力で正常な位置に戻るため、問題がない。   However, in such a conventional configuration, the blower bellows hose 20 and the water supply bellows hose 21 are both rotatably connected to the outer tank cover 15 via the supply port member 58, and the water supply bellows hose 21 is substantially L. Since it has a letter shape, when the water supply bellows hose 21 rotates toward the blower bellows hose 20, both hoses come into contact with each other. Since both the blower bellows hose 20 and the water supply bellows hose 21 are pivotally connected to each other, there is no problem because the elastic force of the hose returns to the normal position.

しかし、爪部嵌合部が、経年変化や使用中に埃や洗剤などが付着して、回動自在に動かなくなる可能性がある。このような場合、送風蛇腹ホース２０あるいは給水蛇腹ホース２１が不自然な位置で固着した場合は、ホースの弾性力が、内部に複数のサスペンション２によって弾性的に吊り下げた外槽３の可動域を阻害し、脱水時の振動を大きくする事がある。また、送風蛇腹ホース２０と給水蛇腹ホース２１の距離が近くなる位置で固着した場合は、蛇腹ホース２０、２１同士が摩擦することで破れ、水漏れや空気漏れを起こす可能性がある。   However, there is a possibility that the claw portion fitting portion may be unable to rotate freely due to aging or dust attached to it during use. In such a case, when the blower bellows hose 20 or the water supply bellows hose 21 is fixed at an unnatural position, the elastic range of the hose elastically suspends by a plurality of suspensions 2 inside the movable range of the outer tub 3. May be increased, and vibration during dehydration may be increased. Moreover, when it adheres in the position where the distance of the ventilation bellows hose 20 and the water supply bellows hose 21 becomes short, it may be broken by friction between the bellows hoses 20 and 21 and may cause water leakage and air leakage.

本発明は上記従来の課題を解決するもので、洗濯乾燥機の組立時、補修時などに、送風蛇腹ホースおよび給水蛇腹ホースを外槽カバーに接続する作業性を阻害することなく、また、回動自在に接続された接続部が、なんらかの原因で固着した場合においても、洗濯乾燥機の異常振動や水漏れ、空気漏れを抑制する洗濯乾燥機を提供することを目的としている。   The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and does not hinder the workability of connecting the blower bellows hose and the water supply bellows hose to the outer tub cover when assembling or repairing the washing / drying machine, An object of the present invention is to provide a washing / drying machine that suppresses abnormal vibration, water leakage, and air leakage of the washing / drying machine even when the connection part that is movably connected is fixed for some reason.

本発明は上記目的を達成するために、送風ホース接続部材に設けられた凸部と送風ホース接続部に設けられた凸部形状リブとにより、また、給水ホース接続部材に設けられた凸部と給水ホース接続部に設けられた凸部形状リブとにより、送風蛇腹ホースおよび給水蛇腹ホースそれぞれの回動自在の可動範囲を抑制したことにより、生産時の取付作業性、補修サービス性を阻害することなく、洗濯乾燥機のあらゆる使用条件下において、回動接続部が固着した場合に、洗濯乾燥機の異常振動や水漏れ、空気漏れを抑制することができる。   In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a convex portion provided on the blower hose connection member and a convex portion-shaped rib provided on the blower hose connection portion, and a convex portion provided on the water supply hose connection member. With the convex ribs provided at the water supply hose connecting part, the movable movable range of each of the blower bellows hose and the water supply bellows hose is suppressed, thereby hindering the mounting workability and repair serviceability during production. In addition, abnormal vibration, water leakage, and air leakage of the washing / drying machine can be suppressed when the rotating connection portion is fixed under all use conditions of the washing / drying machine.

本発明の洗濯乾燥機は、洗濯乾燥機の組立時、補修時などに、送風蛇腹ホースおよび給水蛇腹ホースを外槽カバーに接続する作業性を阻害することなく、また、回動自在に接続された接続部が、なんらかの原因で固着した場合においても、洗濯乾燥機の異常振動や水漏れ、空気漏れを抑制する洗濯乾燥機を実現することができる。   The washing / drying machine of the present invention is pivotally connected without obstructing the workability of connecting the blower bellows hose and the water supply bellows hose to the outer tub cover when the laundry dryer is assembled or repaired. Even when the connecting portion is fixed for some reason, it is possible to realize a washing / drying machine that suppresses abnormal vibration, water leakage, and air leakage of the washing / drying machine.

A convex portion 25a is formed on the outer periphery of the connecting member 25, and one outer tub cover 15 has two substantially arc-shaped convex portions adjacent to each other substantially concentrically slightly outside the outer peripheral portion of the blower hose connecting portion 36. Two substantially arc-shaped convex ribs 15b are formed on the outer circumference of the water supply hose connecting portion 37 on the outer side of the rib 15a so as to be substantially concentrically adjacent to each other.

凸部２４ａと凸リブ１５ａ、凸部２５ａと凸リブ１５ｂの位置関係は、送風ホース接続部材２４が送風ホース接続部３６に接続され、送風ホース接続部材２４の爪部７２が送風ホース接続部３６に係合され、給水ホース接続部材２５が給水ホース接続部３７に接続され、給水ホース接続部材２５の爪部７３が給水ホース接続部３７に係合された状態で、それぞれ所定の角度範囲内では相互に回動自在であるが、その所定の角度範囲を超えては凸部２４ａ、２５ａが凸リブ１５ａ、１５ｂに係止されて回動できないように制限される構成としてある。   The positional relationship between the convex portion 24a and the convex rib 15a, and the convex portion 25a and the convex rib 15b is such that the blowing hose connecting member 24 is connected to the blowing hose connecting portion 36, and the claw portion 72 of the blowing hose connecting member 24 is the blowing hose connecting portion 36. The water supply hose connection member 25 is connected to the water supply hose connection portion 37, and the claw portion 73 of the water supply hose connection member 25 is engaged with the water supply hose connection portion 37. Although they are rotatable with respect to each other, the protruding portions 24a and 25a are locked to the protruding ribs 15a and 15b so as not to be rotated beyond the predetermined angle range.

したがって、本発明によれば、送風蛇腹ホース２０および給水蛇腹ホース２１を外槽カバー１５の送風ホース接続部３６および給水ホース接続部３７にそれぞれ回動自在に嵌着固定することを実現しながらも、送風蛇腹ホース２０および給水蛇腹ホース２１の回動範囲を抑制でき、送風蛇腹ホース２０あるいは給水蛇腹ホース２１が不自然な位置で固着した場合においても、ホースの弾性力が、内部に複数のサスペンション２によって弾性的に吊り下げた外槽３の可動域を阻害し、脱水時の振動を大きくすることを防止できるとともに、送風蛇腹ホース２０と給水蛇腹ホース２１の距離が近くなる位置で固着した場合においても、ホース同士が摩擦することで破れ、水漏れや空気漏れを起こすことを抑制できる、かつ作業性などを阻害することがない。   Therefore, according to the present invention, while realizing that the blower bellows hose 20 and the water supply bellows hose 21 are rotatably fitted and fixed to the blower hose connection part 36 and the water supply hose connection part 37 of the outer tank cover 15, respectively. The rotation range of the airflow bellows hose 20 and the water supply bellows hose 21 can be suppressed, and even when the airflow bellows hose 20 or the water supply bellows hose 21 is fixed at an unnatural position, the elastic force of the hose can cause a plurality of suspensions inside. When the movable range of the outer tub 3 that is elastically suspended by the hose 2 is hindered and vibration during dehydration can be prevented from being increased, and the distance between the airflow bellows hose 20 and the water supply bellows hose 21 is fixed. However, it is possible to prevent the hose from breaking due to friction between the hoses and causing water leakage or air leakage, and hindering workability. There is no.

なお、本実施の形態では、送風蛇腹ホース２０および給水蛇腹ホース２１を外槽カバー１５にそれぞれ直接、回動自在に嵌着固定したが、従来例のように供給口部材を介して行っても本発明の効果を得ることができる。   In the present embodiment, the blower bellows hose 20 and the water supply bellows hose 21 are rotatably fitted and fixed directly to the outer tank cover 15, respectively, but may be performed via a supply port member as in the conventional example. The effects of the present invention can be obtained.

以上のように、本発明にかかる洗濯乾燥機は、サスペンションによって弾性的に吊り下げた外槽を備えた洗濯乾燥機において、洗濯乾燥機の組立時、補修時などに、送風蛇腹ホースおよび給水蛇腹ホースを外槽カバーに接続する作業性を阻害することなく、ホースの弾性力が外槽の可動域を阻害し、脱水時の振動を大きくすることを防止できるとともに、ホース同士が摩擦することで破れ、水漏れや空気漏れを起こすことを防止できるので、衣類の脱水機能や乾燥機能を有した洗濯乾燥機等に有用である。   As described above, the washing and drying machine according to the present invention includes a blower bellows hose and a water supply bellows in a washing and drying machine having an outer tub that is elastically suspended by a suspension when the washing and drying machine is assembled or repaired. Without hindering the workability of connecting the hose to the outer tank cover, the elastic force of the hose can hinder the movable range of the outer tank and prevent vibration during dehydration, and the hoses rub against each other. Since it is possible to prevent tearing, water leakage and air leakage, it is useful for washing and drying machines having a dehydrating function and a drying function for clothes.
