Description

洗衣机washing machine 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及洗衣机。The invention relates to a washing machine.
背景技术Background technique
以往，普遍已知有如下的洗衣机：在箱形的机壳的内部对有底大致圆筒状的外桶进行支承，并在该外桶的内侧可旋转地支承作为洗涤脱水桶的内桶(例如，参照专利文献1)。In the past, there has been generally known a washing machine in which a bottomed substantially cylindrical outer tub is supported inside a box-shaped casing, and an inner tub as a washing and dewatering tub is rotatably supported inside the outer tub (for example) Refer to Patent Document 1).
这样的洗衣机通常只要将用于洗涤的适量的衣物收容于内桶并开始洗涤，就能稳定地进行直至此后的漂洗、脱水的一系列过程。Such a washing machine generally can stably carry out a series of processes of rinsing and dehydration up to now, by accommodating an appropriate amount of laundry for washing in the inner tub and starting washing.
如上所述的洗衣机通常处于为了良好地进行洗涤桶的运转，而由各种敷线、敷管在设于机壳上部的控制设备与洗涤桶之间进行连接的状态。The washing machine as described above is generally in a state of being connected between the control device provided on the upper portion of the casing and the washing tub by various kinds of wires and pipes for the purpose of performing the operation of the washing tub well.
而且，这样的洗衣机根据将要进行洗涤的衣物的体积、配置、重量，有可能会发生在内桶中进行脱水的轻衣物、位于内桶的开口部附近的衣物因离心力而从内桶的开口飞出，并触及在外桶的开口部与机壳的上部之间露出到内方的敷线、敷管的情况。Moreover, such a washing machine may generate light laundry that is dehydrated in the inner tub depending on the volume, arrangement, and weight of the laundry to be washed, and the laundry located near the opening of the inner tub may fly out from the opening of the inner tub due to centrifugal force, and The case where the inside of the opening and the upper part of the casing are exposed to the inner side of the wire and the tube is touched.
而且，特别容易受外力影响的是与用于检测洗涤桶的水位的水位检测传感器连接的具有挠性的软管。该软管的一端侧连接于洗涤桶的通常设于下端部的空气阱(air trap)部分，并且另一端侧连接于水位检测传感器，该水位检测传感器通常在比洗涤桶还靠近上方处固定在设于机壳的上面板。Moreover, particularly susceptible to external forces is a flexible hose that is connected to a water level detecting sensor for detecting the water level of the washing tub. One end side of the hose is connected to an air trap portion of the washing tub which is usually disposed at a lower end portion, and the other end side is connected to a water level detecting sensor which is usually fixed at a position higher than the washing tub. It is located on the upper panel of the cabinet.
该水位检测传感器经由软管来检测根据洗涤桶的水位而发生变化的空气阱的气压，并判定洗涤桶的水位。即，这样的软管一旦发生折曲、压瘪的情况，就会导致无法将空气阱部分的气压正确地传递给水位检测传感器，水位检测传感器无法正常工作的不良状况。The water level detecting sensor detects the air pressure of the air trap that changes according to the water level of the washing tub via the hose, and determines the water level of the washing tub. In other words, when such a hose is bent or crushed, the air pressure of the air trap portion cannot be accurately transmitted to the water level detecting sensor, and the water level detecting sensor cannot operate normally.
具体而言，有可能导致如下的情况发生：当连接洗涤桶与水位检测传感器 之间的软管被施加外力时，洗衣机的控制***识别为异常并报错，同时停止运转。Specifically, it may cause the following situation to occur: when connecting the washing tub and the water level detecting sensor When an external force is applied between the hoses, the control system of the washing machine recognizes an abnormality and reports an error while stopping the operation.
而且，在上述专利文献1中，为了保护包括上述软管的敷线、敷管，在面对机壳内的洗涤桶的开口部配设有敷线的机壳内壁，另行设置了用于保护该敷线的保护罩。Further, in the above Patent Document 1, in order to protect the wire and the tube including the hose, the inner wall of the casing for the wire is placed in the opening of the washing tub facing the casing, and is separately provided for protection. The protective cover of the wire.
然而，为了设置这样的保护罩，需要额外进行在机壳的内壁设置新的开口的加工，并且，由于将另行设置的机构零部件另行使用，因此在制造工序中要花费更多的时间。However, in order to provide such a protective cover, it is necessary to additionally perform a process of providing a new opening in the inner wall of the casing, and since the separately provided mechanism parts are separately used, it takes more time in the manufacturing process.

Further, in the vicinity of the lower end portion of the washing tub 4, a distal end portion 8b for controlling the water injection and drainage of the washing tub unit and passing the water to the water level detecting sensor S using the water level detecting sensor S is connected.
吊棒3对应机壳2的四角配置有四个。各吊棒3以顶端3B彼此接近的方式稍稍倾斜地进行配置，并将基端3A悬挂固定于上述的机壳2的吊棒承接部25。而且，在顶端3B，安装有包括作为弹性构件的卷簧的减振机构，该减振机构的上端悬挂固定于设于外桶5的被悬吊支承部53。通过如此设置，包括外桶5的洗涤桶4被四个吊棒3悬吊支承。The boom 3 is arranged in four corners corresponding to the casing 2. Each of the booms 3 is disposed with a slight inclination so that the distal ends 3B approach each other, and the base end 3A is suspended and fixed to the hanger receiving portion 25 of the casing 2 described above. Further, at the distal end 3B, a damper mechanism including a coil spring as an elastic member is attached, and the upper end of the damper mechanism is suspended and fixed to the suspended support portion 53 provided in the outer tub 5. With this arrangement, the washing tub 4 including the outer tub 5 is suspended and supported by the four hangers 3.
机壳2由大致矩形的底面21和从该底面21立起的四个壁面22构成，并形成为具备上方开口的内部空间的箱形。而且，在底面21的四角具备支脚。此外，吊棒承接部25在机壳2的上侧，并在与吊棒3的基端3A对应的位置固定于壁面22。The casing 2 is composed of a substantially rectangular bottom surface 21 and four wall surfaces 22 rising from the bottom surface 21, and is formed in a box shape having an internal space opened upward. Further, the legs are provided at the four corners of the bottom surface 21. Further, the boom receiving portion 25 is fixed to the wall surface 22 at a position corresponding to the base end 3A of the boom 3 on the upper side of the casing 2.
而且，该吊棒承接部25用于将吊棒3支承于机壳2，并通过悬挂固定吊棒3的基端3A侧来作为用于悬吊吊棒3的支点发挥功能。该吊棒承接部25是现有的吊棒承接部，具有：平板部25a，俯视大致呈L字形；起立面25b，从该平板部25a起立并与壁面接近或相接；棒承接孔25c，用于在平板部25a的大致中央位置悬挂固定吊棒3的基端3A；开口25d，在平板部25a设有多个；以及安装凸缘25e，从起立面25b向外侧水平延伸并安装于机壳2。Further, the boom receiving portion 25 is for supporting the boom 3 to the casing 2, and functions as a fulcrum for suspending the boom 3 by suspending and fixing the base end 3A side of the boom 3. The hanging rod receiving portion 25 is a conventional hanging rod receiving portion, and has a flat plate portion 25a that is substantially L-shaped in plan view, and a rising surface 25b that stands up from the flat plate portion 25a and is adjacent to or in contact with the wall surface; the rod receiving hole 25c, A base end 3A for suspending and fixing the hanging rod 3 at a substantially central position of the flat plate portion 25a; a plurality of openings 25d provided in the flat plate portion 25a; and a mounting flange 25e extending horizontally from the rising surface 25b and mounted on the machine Shell 2.
而且，在图2中图示于右端的、俯视时上右侧的吊棒承接部25还起到将连接于洗涤桶4的下端附近的软管8引导至水位检测传感器S的作用。在本实施方式中，在壁面22与起立面25b之间形成有用于夹持软管8的夹持部25f。而且，被引导至该夹持部25f的软管被适当地引导至固定于机壳2上部的水位检测传感器S，但其具体的实施方式之后再进行详细叙述。Further, the boom receiving portion 25 on the upper right side in plan view shown in FIG. 2 also functions to guide the hose 8 connected to the vicinity of the lower end of the washing tub 4 to the water level detecting sensor S. In the present embodiment, a sandwiching portion 25f for sandwiching the hose 8 is formed between the wall surface 22 and the rising surface 25b. Further, the hose guided to the holding portion 25f is appropriately guided to the water level detecting sensor S fixed to the upper portion of the casing 2, but a specific embodiment thereof will be described in detail later.
此外，如图1所示，机壳2在其上部具有：罩26，与操作面板一体化；上面板27，设于该罩26的稍下侧，并用于固定以主要司职控制的水位检测传感器S为首的各种机构零部件。罩26具有：开闭盖26a，位于前侧并能以可开闭的方式进行活动；以及固定盖26b，在该开闭板的后侧以可活动的方式支承开闭盖26a。In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the casing 2 has a cover 26 at its upper portion, which is integrated with the operation panel, and an upper panel 27, which is disposed on the lower side of the cover 26, and is used for fixing the water level detecting sensor controlled by the main division. S is the head of various institutional components. The cover 26 has an opening and closing cover 26a that is movable on the front side so as to be openable and closable, and a fixing cover 26b that movably supports the opening and closing cover 26a on the rear side of the opening and closing plate.
而且，由于该洗衣机1不带有干衣功能，因此未设置中盖。也就是说，该洗衣机1只要打开开闭盖26a就能容易地触碰到洗涤桶4。而且，由于在该固定盖26b的正下方设有上述的上面板27，因此不能通过开闭盖26a的开闭来触碰到固定于上面板27上的各种机构零部件作。在本实施方式中，如图1中以虚拟 线所示，在该上面板27的左侧的端部附近固定有水位检测传感器S。需要说明的是，如上所述，由于图2是将洗衣机1的对角线剖开来进行图示的图，因此同一图中水位检测传感器S出现在中央附近。Moreover, since the washing machine 1 does not have a drying function, the middle cover is not provided. That is, the washing machine 1 can easily touch the washing tub 4 as long as the opening and closing cover 26a is opened. Further, since the above-described upper panel 27 is provided directly below the fixed cover 26b, various mechanism components fixed to the upper panel 27 cannot be touched by opening and closing of the opening and closing cover 26a. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. As shown by the line, a water level detecting sensor S is fixed in the vicinity of the end portion on the left side of the upper panel 27. Incidentally, as described above, since FIG. 2 is a view in which the diagonal line of the washing machine 1 is cut away, the water level detecting sensor S in the same figure appears in the vicinity of the center.
该水位检测传感器S如示于图3的上部的A部放大图所示，固定于上面板的传感器安装部，并具有：传感器主体S1，呈大致圆盘状；以及软管安装部S2，设于该传感器主体S1的一端侧并连接于软管8的基端部8a；电连接部S3，位于该软管安装部S2的上部并用于如同图下侧所示连接电气敷线E。该水位检测传感器S是普通的水位检测传感器，经由软管8来检测根据洗涤桶4内的水位而发生变化的、设于洗涤桶4的未图示的空气阱部分的气压，并由此来判断洗涤桶4内的水位。也就是说，连接于水位检测传感器S的软管8不论洗涤桶4的动作如何都不会发生折曲或过度弯曲这一点是正确工作的条件，当软管8发生了任何异常而水位检测传感器S无法正常工作时，控制***通过声音、显示的方式对使用者报错，同时停止洗衣机1的运转。The water level detecting sensor S is fixed to the sensor mounting portion of the upper panel as shown in an enlarged view of the upper portion of FIG. 3, and has a sensor main body S1 in a substantially disk shape, and a hose mounting portion S2. The one end side of the sensor body S1 is connected to the base end portion 8a of the hose 8; the electrical connection portion S3 is located at the upper portion of the hose mounting portion S2 and is used to connect the electrical wiring E as shown on the lower side of the drawing. The water level detecting sensor S is a normal water level detecting sensor, and detects the air pressure of an air trap portion (not shown) provided in the washing tub 4 that changes according to the water level in the washing tub 4 via the hose 8 and thereby The water level in the washing tub 4 is judged. That is to say, the hose 8 connected to the water level detecting sensor S does not bend or excessively bend regardless of the movement of the washing tub 4, which is a condition for correct operation, and any abnormality occurs in the hose 8 and the water level detecting sensor When S is unable to work normally, the control system reports an error to the user by means of sound and display, and stops the operation of the washing machine 1.
在此，本实施方式的洗衣机1的特征在于，具备上述的水位检测传感器S和软管8，软管8具有挠性并形成为筒状，并且具有被固定部81，该被固定部81在连接于水位检测传感器S的基端部8a以及连接于洗涤桶4的顶端部8b之间固定于吊棒承接部25。Here, the washing machine 1 of the present embodiment is characterized in that it includes the above-described water level detecting sensor S and the hose 8, and the hose 8 has flexibility and is formed in a cylindrical shape, and has a fixed portion 81 which is The base end portion 8a connected to the water level detecting sensor S and the distal end portion 8b connected to the washing tub 4 are fixed to the hanger receiving portion 25.
以下，参照图3以及图4，对本实施方式的软管8的具体实施方式进行说明。基端部8a如图3上部所示，稳固地固定于水位检测传感器S的软管安装部27a。顶端部8b连接于空气阱部分，该空气阱部分设于洗涤桶4下端附近并构成为根据洗涤桶4内的水位而气压发生变化。由于该空气阱部分的结构是公知技术，因此省略详细的说明。Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the hose 8 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 3 and 4 . The base end portion 8a is firmly fixed to the hose mounting portion 27a of the water level detecting sensor S as shown in the upper portion of FIG. The tip end portion 8b is connected to the air trap portion, and the air trap portion is provided near the lower end of the washing tub 4 and configured to change the air pressure according to the water level in the washing tub 4. Since the structure of the air trap portion is a well-known technique, detailed description is omitted.
而且，本实施方式的软管8如图3以及图4所示，在上述基端部8a、顶端部8b之间具有上述的被固定部81和卷绕部82，卷绕部82从被固定部81下垂并卷绕支承于吊棒。As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the hose 8 of the present embodiment has the above-described fixed portion 81 and the wound portion 82 between the proximal end portion 8a and the distal end portion 8b, and the wound portion 82 is fixed. The portion 81 is suspended and wound and supported by the hanger.
被固定部81在图3下侧作为被夹持部83，在形成于设于吊棒承接部25的夹持面25f与机壳2的壁面22之间的部分搭接于夹持面25f并且被夹持。如同图所示，该被夹持部83设于比洗涤桶4的上端稍稍往下侧的位置。此外，对洗涤桶4进行供电；各种检测信号、控制信号的传输的电气敷线E位于该被夹持 部83的附近的靠近洗涤桶4的部位。换言之，被固定部81以比电连接于洗涤桶4的电气敷线E还靠近机壳2的方式进行设置。通过如此处理软管8，即使在脱水过程时衣物从洗涤桶4伸向软管8，软管8也会被吊棒承接部25以及电气敷线E所保护，软管8不会受到损伤。此外，由于被夹持部83的顶端侧进一步设有绕卷于吊棒的卷绕部82，因此软管8稳定地维持该姿势。The fixed portion 81 is a clamped portion 83 on the lower side of FIG. 3, and is overlapped with the sandwiching surface 25f at a portion formed between the sandwiching surface 25f provided on the boom receiving portion 25 and the wall surface 22 of the casing 2 and Being clamped. As shown in the figure, the held portion 83 is provided at a position slightly lower than the upper end of the washing tub 4. In addition, the washing tub 4 is powered; the electrical wiring E of various detection signals and control signals is located at the clamped The portion near the washing tub 4 near the portion 83. In other words, the fixed portion 81 is provided closer to the casing 2 than the electrical wiring line E electrically connected to the washing tub 4. By treating the hose 8 in this way, even if the laundry extends from the washing tub 4 to the hose 8 during the dehydrating process, the hose 8 is protected by the hanger receiving portion 25 and the electrical wiring E, and the hose 8 is not damaged. Further, since the winding portion 82 wound around the boom is further provided on the distal end side of the clamped portion 83, the hose 8 stably maintains this posture.
而且，除了如图3所示处理软管8，作为变形例，也可以如图4所示处理软管8。Further, in addition to processing the hose 8 as shown in Fig. 3, as a modification, the hose 8 may be treated as shown in Fig. 4.
图4中图示出了在吊棒承接部25的起立面25b搭接软管8，进而插通预设于吊棒承接部25的开口25d，从平板部25a下垂并形成有卷绕部82的软管8。也就是说，在同图中，图示出了软管8作为搭接于吊棒承接部25的起立面25b的被搭接部的被固定部81、和插通吊棒承接部25的开口插通部85的实施方式。在该情况下，起立面25b相当于吊棒承接部25的搭接面。像这样处理软管8时，软管8也会被吊棒承接部25以及电气敷线E所保护，软管8不会受到来自衣物的损伤。此外，图3由于同样在搭接部84以及开口插通部85的顶端侧进一步设有卷绕于吊棒3的卷绕部82，因此软管8当然也稳定地维持该姿势。4 shows that the hose 8 is overlapped on the rising surface 25b of the boom receiving portion 25, and the opening 25d which is preset to the hanger receiving portion 25 is inserted, and the winding portion 82 is formed from the flat portion 25a. Hose 8. That is, in the same figure, the hose 8 is illustrated as the fixed portion 81 of the lap portion of the erecting surface 25b of the sling receiving portion 25, and the opening of the sling receiving portion 25 is inserted. An embodiment of the insertion portion 85. In this case, the rising surface 25b corresponds to the overlapping surface of the boom receiving portion 25. When the hose 8 is treated as described above, the hose 8 is also protected by the hanger receiving portion 25 and the electrical sheathing wire E, and the hose 8 is not damaged by the laundry. In addition, in FIG. 3, the winding portion 82 wound around the boom 3 is further provided on the distal end side of the overlapping portion 84 and the opening insertion portion 85. Therefore, the hose 8 naturally maintains the posture stably.
如上所述，本实施方式的洗衣机1的特征在于，软管8具有固定于吊棒承接部25的被固定部81。As described above, the washing machine 1 of the present embodiment is characterized in that the hose 8 has the fixed portion 81 fixed to the hanger receiving portion 25.
如上所述，根据本实施方式，除了经由吊棒3来支承洗涤桶4的结构之外，还将固定于自身提高了强度的吊棒承接部25的被固定部81设于软管8，由此，即使在运转中衣物与软管8接触，固定于吊棒承接部25的软管8也难以受到影响。其结果是，能实现因软管8的异常所导致的水位检测传感器S的误检测而引起的运转中的过程不良的减少。除此之外，根据本实施方式，在制造过程中，该软管8的敷管处理变得容易，也有益于抑制软管8嵌入其他构成要素以及软管8折曲、压瘪等不良状况的产生。而且，在本实施方式中，对洗衣机1的构成方式不实施任何额外的零部件、加工，就有效地起到了上述的效果。As described above, according to the present embodiment, in addition to the structure in which the washing tub 4 is supported via the hanger 3, the fixed portion 81 of the hanger receiving portion 25 fixed to its own strength is provided in the hose 8, Thus, even when the laundry comes into contact with the hose 8 during operation, the hose 8 fixed to the hanger receiving portion 25 is hardly affected. As a result, it is possible to achieve a reduction in process failure during operation due to erroneous detection of the water level detecting sensor S due to an abnormality of the hose 8. In addition, according to the present embodiment, in the manufacturing process, the tube 8 is easily handled, and it is also advantageous in suppressing the incorporation of the hose 8 into other components and the hose 8 to be bent or crushed. The production. Further, in the present embodiment, the above-described effects are effectively achieved without performing any additional parts and processing on the configuration of the washing machine 1.
此外，在本实施方式的洗衣机1中，图3以及图4的任一方案中，被固定部81都搭接于吊棒承接部25。由此，吊棒承接部25起到罩住软管8的作用，实现了软管8难以受到衣物的影响的结构。 Further, in the washing machine 1 of the present embodiment, in any of FIGS. 3 and 4, the fixed portion 81 is overlapped with the hanger receiving portion 25. Thereby, the hanger receiving portion 25 functions to cover the hose 8, and the structure in which the hose 8 is hardly affected by the laundry is realized.
进而，在本实施方式中，将被固定部81作为被夹持在机壳2与吊棒承接部25之间的被夹持部83，由此能有效地将软管8保持在难以接触到衣物的位置。Further, in the present embodiment, the fixed portion 81 is held by the clamped portion 83 sandwiched between the casing 2 and the hanger receiving portion 25, whereby the hose 8 can be effectively held in contact with each other. The location of the clothes.
除此之外，在本实施方式中，如图4所示，采用了被固定部81作为插通设于吊棒承接部25的开口25d的开口插通部85的实施方式，由此，无论洗涤桶4的动作、衣物的活动情况如何，都能稳定地保持软管8。In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the fixed portion 81 is adopted as an embodiment in which the opening insertion portion 85 of the opening 25d provided in the hanger receiving portion 25 is inserted, thereby The operation of the washing tub 4 and the movement of the laundry can stably hold the hose 8.
而且，被固定部81设于比洗涤桶4的上端靠近下方处，由此，能使被固定部81自身更难受到从洗涤桶4出来的衣物的影响。Further, the fixed portion 81 is provided below the upper end of the washing tub 4, whereby the fixed portion 81 itself can be more difficult to be affected by the laundry coming out of the washing tub 4.
进而，在本实施方式中，被固定部81以比电连接于洗涤桶4的电气敷线E还靠近机壳2的方式进行设置，由此，使电气敷线E在软管8之前碰到衣物，降低了衣物对软管8造成的影响。除此之外，电气敷线E也配置于吊棒承接部25附近，由此，该电气敷线E也难以受到衣物的影响。Further, in the present embodiment, the fixed portion 81 is provided closer to the casing 2 than the electrical wiring line E electrically connected to the washing tub 4, whereby the electrical wiring E is encountered before the hose 8. The clothes reduce the effect of the clothes on the hose 8.
