The conventional dehydration imbalance detection switch and lid switch of a full-automatic washing machine have some structural differences, but basically, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. When the lid is opened, the lid switch is cut off to stop the dehydration so that the rotating part is not touched by the hand, especially during dehydration. Also, when spinning in the spinning tub, the clothes in the washing tub are biased in one direction, and when the washing tub hits the outer frame and the entire washing machine vibrates abnormally and it becomes impossible to dehydrate, the lid switch is turned off to stop the dehydration. . However, if you wash clothes with various kinds of clothes, such as synthetic clothing that does not contain water easily, or if you wash rain gear, it will float on the top of the washing tub, and if you spin off the clothes as it is, the clothes will pop out of the washing tub and the top of the washing tub and the laundry will be washed. Problems such as being caught between the frames of the machine and tearing clothes or damaging the washing machine occur.

Next, explaining the operation by jumping out of the clothes washing tub,
When the popped-out clothes rotate together with the tank, the lever portion 3a is hit in the tangential direction of the tank and tilts with the rising portion of 2a as a fulcrum. At this time, the rib 4a of the contact finger 4 is disengaged from the protrusion 11a of the dowel 11. The projection 11a of the dowel 11 instantly drops together with the contact piece 8 to open the contacts 9 and 10. In this open state, when the lid 12 is opened, the imbalance detection lever 3 is lowered and released by the fixed arm 2. The inclination of the unbalance detection lever 3 is restored by the biasing force of the pressing spring 5.
