Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a lint collecting device for a single-tub type dehydrating washing machine. This type of dehydrating washing machine is provided with a lint collecting device to prevent lint generated during washing or rinsing from adhering to the laundry. Conventional lint collection devices utilize the suction force generated on the back side of the pulsator as it rotates, and are equipped with a filter in the suction passage or at the suction end, but all of these devices utilize the suction force generated on the back side of the pulsator as it rotates. Since a filter is provided below, lint trapped by the filter may return to the washing water or rinse water, and the surface of the filter may be blocked by laundry, causing lint to be trapped. In some cases, it may not be possible to gather together.

The object of the present invention is to provide a lint collecting device that does not have the above-mentioned drawbacks, and uses the discharge force generated by the rotation of a pulsator to collect washing water or rinsing water above the washing and dehydrating tank. The purpose is to introduce the thread above the water surface and collect the thread waste using a filter placed above the water surface.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1st
In the figure, 1 is the washing water or rinsing water tank;
A drain hose 3 with a drain valve 2 at the bottom is attached. Reference numeral 4 denotes a washing and dehydrating tank rotatably provided inside the receiving tank 1, which has a large number of dehydrating holes 5 on the side wall and a recess 6 in the center of the bottom. A pulsator 7 has blades 7' on its back surface and is provided above the recess 6. Reference numeral 8 denotes a support plate attached to the lower surface of the recess 6, which supports the entire washing and dehydrating tub 4, and a rotating shaft 9 is connected to this. Reference numeral 10 denotes a rotating shaft of a pulsator 7 provided inside the rotating shaft 9 and concentrically with the rotating shaft 9. When the clutch mechanism 11 attached to the lower surface of the receiving tank 1 drives the rotating shaft 10, the pulsator 7 rotates, and when the rotating shaft 9 is driven, the pulsator 7 rotates. The washing and dehydrating tank 4 rotates at high speed. The recess 6 has a suction port 12 at the bottom and a discharge port 13 at the side, and the suction port 12 communicates with a side chamber 14 formed between the receiving tank 1 and the washing/dehydrating tank 4 through the support plate 8 . 15
is a hollow water passage provided on the side of the washing and dewatering tank 4,
Its lower end communicates with the discharge port 13 through a cover 16, and its upper end opens into the interior of a ring-shaped balancer 17 attached around the upper open end of the washing and dehydrating tub 4. 18 is a water discharge part detachably fitted inside the balancer 17; 19 is the water discharge part 1;
This is a lint collector that is removably fitted on the front of the 8.

As shown in FIG.
It is formed by attaching a bag filter 22 to a dish plate 21 having a diameter of 0. As shown in Fig. 4, the water discharge part 18 has a water discharge port 23 at the front and a water inlet 2 at the bottom.
4. A cutout 26 having a pair of hooks 25 at the rear and having the same shape as the hooks 26 provided on the balancer 17 (Fig. 5)
The water inlet 24 is removably fitted into the water passage 1.
The pair of hooks 25 engage with the pores 27 of the washing/dehydrating tub 4 and are detachably attached thereto. Then, the lint collector 19 is removably fitted to the front of the water discharge part 18 so as to cover the water discharge port 23.

As shown in FIG. 2, the water passage 15 is formed integrally with the washing and dehydrating tank 4, but as shown in FIG. Outer groove 2 formed by 28
9 may be fitted with a hose 30 to serve as a water passage. The water discharge part 18 may be designed to fit into the outside of the balancer 17, as shown in FIG.
31 is a fixing screw.

Since the present invention has the above configuration, when the pulsator 7 is driven during washing or rinsing, the water in the side chamber 14 is sucked in from the suction port 12 by the blades 7' as shown by the arrow and from the discharge port 13. The discharged lint enters the water discharge section 18 through the water passage 15, enters the lint collector 19 from the discharge port 23, and the lint contained in the washing water or rinse water is captured by the bag filter 22. Since the bag filter 22 is located above the water surface, the lint once captured will return to the washing water or rinsing water.
Troubles such as the discharge capacity being halved can be prevented. Since the water discharge part 18 and the lint collector 19 are detachably attached, cleaning is easy. The water passage 15 effectively functions as a diagonal plate (a protrusion provided to control water flow) necessary for this type of washing and dehydrating tank. That is, in the present invention, the water passage 15 also serves as a wall board, and the wasted space formed by the wall board is effectively used as a water flow channel. Water discharge part 18 is balancer 1
Since it is fitted into the notch 26 provided in 7, there is no problem with high-speed rotation of the washing/dehydrating tank 4, and the water-tightness of the water discharge section can be made high, so water that reaches the bag filter via the water discharge section can be prevented. There is no loss in discharge pressure. The lint collecting device of the present invention, which is constituted by the water passage 15, the water discharge section 18, and the lint collecting device 19, can be installed without requiring any special space.

As described above, the balancer can be detachably attached to the balancer, and has a water discharge part with a water discharge port and a water inlet on the front and bottom surfaces, and when this water discharge part is set in the notch of the balancer, Since the watertightness of the filter can be made high, there is no loss in the discharge pressure of the water that reaches the baggage filter via the water discharge part, and the effect of collecting lint is high.

In addition, since the water discharge part is set in the balancer, the bag filter and the water discharge part do not submerge below the water surface, and troubles such as leakage of collected lint or halving of the discharge capacity can be prevented.

As described above, the present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional lint collecting apparatus mentioned at the beginning, and can provide a lint collecting apparatus with excellent practical effects.
