【考案の詳細な説明】 本考案は脱水能内に対する散水筒の着脱によって被脱水
物の脱水すすぎと脱水とを切り換える構造の洗濯機等の
脱水すすぎ装置に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a dewatering and rinsing device for a washing machine, etc., which has a structure that switches between rinsing and dewatering of an object to be dehydrated by attaching and detaching a water spray cylinder to and from the dehydrating capacity.

従来より、例えば二槽式洗濯機に於いては、周壁に多数
の噴水孔を有するものであって脱水能内に対し着脱可能
な散水筒と、この散水筒に遊嵌する挿通孔を有する押え
盤とを備え、上記散水筒の着脱によって被脱水物の脱水
すすぎと脱水とを切換える構成のものが供されている。Conventionally, for example, in a two-tub washing machine, a water sprinkling tube that has a large number of water fountain holes on the peripheral wall and can be attached to and removed from the inside of the dewatering capacity, and a presser foot that has an insertion hole that loosely fits into the water sprinkling tube. There is provided a device which is equipped with a panel and is configured to switch between rinsing and dehydration of the object to be dehydrated by attaching and detaching the water spray tube.

即ち、脱水すすぎを行なう場合には、散水筒を脱水能の
内底面上に取着して立設させ、該散水筒の周りに被脱水
物を収容し、更に該散水筒の上端部に押え盤の挿通孔を
遊嵌させて該押え盤で被脱水物を押え、そして脱水能上
方の注水管から散水筒内に注水しながら脱水能を回転さ
せ、このときの遠心力によって被脱水物を脱水しつつ水
を噴水孔から噴出させて被脱水物に浸透させる様にし、
一方、脱水のみを行なう場合には、散水筒を離脱させた
状態の脱水能内に被脱水物を収容し、該押え盤を脱水能
の上面開口部に装着することにより該押え盤で被脱水物
を押えた状態で、脱水能を回転させる様にしている。That is, when dehydrating and rinsing, a water spray barrel is attached to the inner bottom of the dewatering unit and stands upright, the material to be dehydrated is stored around the water spray barrel, and a presser is placed at the upper end of the water spray barrel. The insertion hole of the plate is fitted loosely, the holding plate holds down the object to be dehydrated, and the dehydrator is rotated while pouring water into the water spray cylinder from the water injection pipe above the dehydrator, and the centrifugal force at this time dehydrates the object. While dehydrating, water is ejected from the fountain hole and permeates into the object to be dehydrated.
On the other hand, when only dewatering is performed, the material to be dehydrated is stored in the dehydrating capacity with the water spray barrel removed, and the holding plate is attached to the top opening of the dehydrating capacity. The dehydration function is rotated while holding an object.

然しながら上記従来構成では、脱水すすぎを行なう場合
には、脱水能の回転により散水筒特にこれの上端部が横
振れし、この横振れのため注水管から散水筒内に水が確
実に入らず、すすぎ効率が悪くなる問題があった。However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, when dehydrating and rinsing, the rotation of the dewatering capacity causes the water spray tube, especially the upper end thereof, to oscillate laterally, and because of this lateral vibration, water cannot reliably enter the water spray tube from the water injection tube. There was a problem that the rinsing efficiency deteriorated.

というのもこの場合、押え盤の挿通孔を散水筒に嵌め易
くするために該散水筒よりある程度径大に形成し前述の
如く遊嵌させているからであり、そのため上述の如き横
振れを阻止し得す、かといって挿通孔の径を散水筒の径
と一致させると、押え盤を散水筒に嵌め辛くなり脱水能
の上面開口部にも装着し辛くなる問題があった。This is because in this case, in order to make it easier to fit the insertion hole of the presser plate into the water spray barrel, the diameter is made somewhat larger than that of the water spray barrel, and it is loosely fitted as described above, thus preventing the above-mentioned lateral vibration. However, if the diameter of the insertion hole is made to match the diameter of the water spray barrel, there is a problem in that it is difficult to fit the holding plate into the water spray barrel and it is also difficult to attach it to the top opening of the dewatering capacity.

一方、脱水のみを行なう場合、上述の様に径大に形成し
た押え盤の挿通孔からは被脱水物の一部がはみ出すとい
う問題まであった。On the other hand, when only dewatering is performed, there is a problem in that a part of the material to be dehydrated protrudes from the insertion hole of the holding plate formed with a large diameter as described above.

本考案は上記事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、従って
その目的は、挿通孔の散水筒への嵌め易さを確保したま

ことによって、該散水筒１８を脱水筒１２の内部に着脱
可能に立設する。Next, to explain the operation, when dehydrating and rinsing, as shown in FIG. 3, the water spray tube 18 is inserted into the holding tube 14 and the locking protrusion 20 is locked in the locking hole 14b. As a result, the water spray cylinder 18 is removably installed upright inside the dewatering cylinder 12.

そして、洗濯槽２内での洗剤洗いを終えた被脱水物Ａを
散水筒１８の回りに収容した状態で、散水筒１８の上端
部に押え盤２１の挿通孔２３を上方から遊嵌し、同時に
該押え盤２１を脱水筒１２の上面開口部に装着し該押え
盤２１で被脱水物Ａを押える。Then, with the object A to be dehydrated that has been washed with detergent in the washing tub 2 stored around the water spray barrel 18, the insertion hole 23 of the presser plate 21 is loosely fitted into the upper end of the water spray barrel 18 from above, At the same time, the presser plate 21 is attached to the upper opening of the dewatering cylinder 12, and the article A to be dehydrated is held down by the presser plate 21.

斯様に押え盤２１を装着した状態にあっては、弾性舌片
２５は、前記散水筒１８の上端部周壁に弾性変形状態に
て圧接して該上端部を保持している。When the presser plate 21 is mounted in this manner, the elastic tongue piece 25 presses against the peripheral wall of the upper end portion of the water spray tube 18 in an elastically deformed state and holds the upper end portion.

しかる後蓋２９を閉じ、バルブ２７を開放して水を注水

３内に排出し、これにて脱水すすぎを行なう。After that, the lid 29 is closed, the valve 27 is opened, and water is poured from the water injection pipe 28 through the water receiver 30 into the water spray barrel 18, while the motor 6 rotates the dewatering barrel 12 and the water spray barrel 18 together. Water is ejected from the fountain hole 19 into the object A to be dehydrated by the centrifugal force caused by the rotation and penetrates into it, and the water is further discharged from the dehydration hole 13 into the dehydration tank 3 along with the detergent contained in the object A to be dehydrated, Perform dehydration and rinsing with this.

尚、斯様な脱水すすぎが終了したならば、バルブ２７を
閉じ注水を停止した状態で脱水筒１２を回転させ最終的
な脱水を行なう。When such dehydration and rinsing is completed, the valve 27 is closed and water injection is stopped, and the dehydration cylinder 12 is rotated to perform final dehydration.

一方、脱水のみを脱水筒１２で行なう場合には第２図に

水筒１８は横振れせず、従って注水管２８等から散水筒
１８内へ水を確実に注ぎ入れることができ、すすぎ効率
を従来に比して良くし得る。As described above, in this embodiment, when performing dehydration rinsing, the upper end of the water spray tube 18 erected inside the dehydration tube 12 is connected to the elastic tongue of the presser plate 21 attached to the dehydration tube 12. 25
Since the water sprinkling tube 18 is held by the water dehydration tube 12, it does not oscillate laterally even when the dewatering tube 12 rotates, and therefore water can be reliably poured into the water sprinkling tube 18 from the water injection tube 28, etc., and the rinsing efficiency is improved compared to the conventional one. You can make it better.

一方、脱水のみを行なう場合には、押え盤２１の挿通孔

該挿通孔２３を遮蔽することから、従来とは異なり該挿
通孔２３からは被脱水物Ａがはみ出さず、従って脱水筒
１２の異常回転等の問題をも解消し得る。On the other hand, when only dewatering is performed, the elastic tongue piece 25 extending inward from the peripheral edge of the insertion hole 23 of the presser plate 21
Since the insertion hole 23 is shielded, the object A to be dehydrated does not protrude from the insertion hole 23 unlike in the conventional case, and problems such as abnormal rotation of the dehydration cylinder 12 can also be solved.

勿論、本実施例に於いても挿通孔２３と散水筒１８とは
遊嵌し、しかも嵌める際に弾性舌片２５が撓み、従って
挿通孔２３の嵌め易さを損なわない。Of course, in this embodiment as well, the insertion hole 23 and the water spray barrel 18 fit loosely, and the elastic tongue piece 25 bends when fitting, so that the ease of fitting the insertion hole 23 is not impaired.

又、本実施例によれば、押え盤２１がその着脱に便利な

の水を前述の脱水すすぎに有効に使用し得る。Further, according to this embodiment, the presser plate 21 not only has a handle part 26 that is convenient for attachment and detachment, but also has a configuration in which the handle part 26 is located around the insertion hole 23 and surrounds the elastic tongue piece 25. Therefore, even if water overflows from the water spray barrel 18, the water is prevented from scattering outward by the handle portion 26, and all of the water is removed by the slits between the elastic tongues 25).
Since the water flows from 5a along the water spray tube 18, the water can be returned to the dehydration basket 12, and all the water can be effectively used for the dehydration rinsing described above without wastage.

更に、特に本実施例によれば、弾性舌片２５は把手部２
６の内下部に位置していることから、この把手部２６に
よる止水効果を一層良く確保し得、従って更に効果的な
らしめ得る。Furthermore, especially according to this embodiment, the elastic tongue piece 25 is attached to the handle part 2.
Since the grip portion 26 is located at the inner lower part of the handle portion 6, the water-stopping effect of the handle portion 26 can be better ensured, and therefore, it can be made even more effective.
