込まれて最後まで溶けないという欠点があつた。(b) Conventional technology Conventional detergent (including powdered soap) supplied to the washing tub
Stir it in advance in a wash basin etc. to dissolve it, or
Or they just put it in from the top of the washing tub. The former method is time-consuming and requires stirring the detergent by hand, which makes your hands rough.The latter method has the disadvantage that if the detergent gets caught in the laundry, it gets wrapped up and does not dissolve completely.

(ハ) 考案の目的 本考案は洗剤を簡単にかつ確実に溶かすことの
できる洗剤供給装置を得ることを目的とする。(c) Purpose of the invention The purpose of the invention is to obtain a detergent supply device that can easily and reliably dissolve detergent.

る。(d) Structure of the device To achieve this goal, the device uses a hollow container with stirring protrusions inside the rotary blade installed at the bottom of the washing tub, and a container small enough to prevent the powdered detergent from falling naturally onto the bottom of the container. This container has a large number of holes, and the opening of the container is closed with a cap that can be opened and closed. If you open the cap and put detergent in the container, the detergent will melt as the rotor blades rotate and will flow out into the washing tub through the many small holes at the bottom of the container.

ている。(e) Example This will be explained based on the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a washing tub which also serves as a spin-drying tank, and has a large number of small holes 2 for spin-drying on its peripheral wall, and a balance ring 3 is attached to its mouth edge.
A rotary blade 4 is disposed at the center of the bottom. The washing tub 1 is installed inside an outer tub 5, and a drive motor 6 for rotating the rotary blades 4 and the washing tub 1 is provided on the outer bottom surface of the outer tub 5.
and a bearing case 7, etc., and the outer tank 5 is suspended from the upper part of an outer box (not shown) in a vibration-proof manner. Reference numeral 8 indicates a drive shaft of the washing tub 1, and reference numeral 9 indicates a shaft of the rotor blade 4. The rotor blade 4 is fixed to the shaft 9 with a screw 10.

ている。 The rotary blade 4 has a plurality of blades 1 on its outer side.
1 protrudes, and the inside is a hollow container 12. When viewed from inside the container 12, the recessed portion between the blades 11 serves as a protrusion 13 for stirring. A large number of small holes 15 are provided in the bottom surface 14 of the container 12 in an annular shape. This hole 15 is set to a size such that when detergent is put into this container 12, the powdered detergent does not fall out by itself. Further, the upper opening 16 of the container 12 is opened and closed by a detachable cap 17. In the example, cap 1
A plurality of elastic pawls 18 provided at 7 are attached to elastically engage elastic pawls 19 formed on the rim of the container 12.

そこで洗濯する場合、キヤツプ１７を外し粉末

進される。 When washing clothes there, the cap 17 is removed and powdered detergent is poured into the container 12. When water is supplied, water enters through the numerous holes 15 on the bottom surface 14 of the container.
Begin to dissolve the detergent. When the rotary blade 4 rotates, the detergent in the container 12 is stirred by the stirring protrusion 13 and its dissolution is promoted. The dissolved detergent then flows out into the washing tub 1 through a number of holes 15. Here, since the rotary blade 4 generally rotates left and right alternately, the dissolution of the detergent is promoted each time the rotation direction is changed by the impact generated at that time.

このように洗剤は洗濯中自動的にかつ確実に溶
かされて洗濯槽１内へ供給されてゆく。 In this way, the detergent is automatically and reliably dissolved and supplied into the washing tub 1 during washing.

尚洗剤を容器１２内に投入した際、若干の洗剤
が前記穴１５より落下するが、大部分の洗剤は容
器内に残つており、事実上問題がない。 When the detergent is put into the container 12, some of the detergent falls through the hole 15, but most of the detergent remains in the container and there is virtually no problem.

(ヘ) 考案の効果 本考案によれば、回転翼の中に予じめ洗剤を入
れておくだけで、洗剤を確実に溶かしながら供給
することができ、手を荒すことなく便利である。(f) Effects of the invention According to the invention, by simply placing detergent in the rotary blade in advance, the detergent can be reliably dissolved and supplied, which is convenient and does not require rough hands.
