Description

Softener and bleach box support structure of washing machine {Box support structure of washer}

The present invention relates to a softener and a bleach box support structure of a washing machine, and more particularly, to a softener and a bleach box support structure of a washing machine capable of preventing arbitrary removal of a softener and a bleach box placed in a detergent container.

In general, a washing machine uses a fabric softener to soften the laundry, and a bleach to whiten or clear the color of the laundry.

Conventionally, a fabric softener or bleach is added directly to a drum on which laundry is placed, or a dedicated box of softener or bleach is placed in a part of a detergent container so that the softener or bleach stored in the box is supplied into the tub together with water to be supplied. 5 is a schematic plan view when the softener box in which the softener is contained in the detergent container of the washing machine according to the prior art and the bleach box in which the bleach is contained. As shown in FIG. 5, the powder detergent is contained in the detergent container 10. In addition, a powder detergent container 11 and 12 are formed, and a box setter 14 in which the bleach box 24 and the softener box 26 are placed is formed. The box setter 14 is formed in the bleach box. The 24 and the softener box 26 are formed larger than the bleach box 24 and the softener box 26 so that the settling of the softener box 26 is easy. A powder detergent water supply passage 56 for supplying water to the detergent receivers 11 and 12 is formed, and a bleach agent for supplying water to the bleach box 24 is disposed above or next to the bleach box 24. A water supply flow path 58 is formed, and the softener box ( A softener water supply passage 60 for supplying water to the softener box 26 is formed above or next to the softener box 26. In addition, the water supply passage 56 for the powder detergent is provided in the washing machine. The water supply valve 62 for powder detergent, the bleaching water supply valve 64 for supplying water supplied from the outside to the bleaching water supply passage 58, and the water supplying water for the softener The softener water supply valve 66 for supplying water to the water supply unit 60 is installed. In the conventional washing machine as described above, the powder detergent water supply valve 62 is turned on during the washing stroke to supply water supplied from the external water for the powder detergent. The water supplied to the flow path 56, and the water supply valve 64 for the bleach is turned on to supply water supplied from the outside to the water supply flow path 58 for bleach. The powder detergent container 11 ( 12), and the powder detergent contained in the powder detergent accommodating parts 11 and 12 is introduced into the tub together with the water supplied to be used for washing laundry. The water is supplied to the bleaching water supply passage 58. The bleached water is supplied to the inside of the bleach box 24, and the bleach contained in the bleach box 24 is introduced into the tub together with the water supplied to whiten the laundry or make the color clear. The softener feed valve 66 is turned on to supply water supplied from the outside to the softener feed passage 60, and the water supplied to the softener feed passage 60 is supplied to the inside of the softener box 26. The softener contained in the softener box 26 is introduced into the tub together with the water supplied to soften the laundry.

However, in the conventional washing machine, even if the softener box 24 and the bleach box 26 are placed in the detergent container 10, the softener box 24 or the bleach box 26 is transported while the washing machine or the detergent container 10 is transported. There is a problem that is separated from the washing machine or detergent container (10).

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a softener and a bleach box support structure of the washing machine that can prevent any removal of the softener and the bleach box.

Softener and bleach box support structure of the washing machine according to the present invention for solving the above problems and the box placed in the detergent container; A lead frame connected with a lid for opening and closing the detergent container and the box; The inside of the box is partitioned into a softener accommodating portion and a bleach accommodating portion, and is characterized in that it is composed of a partition plate that is caught by the lead frame to prevent the removal of the box.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, the same components as in the related art will be denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of part A of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view when the softener and the bleach box are placed in the detergent container shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of FIG. 2.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the detergent container 10 is provided with powder detergent accommodating parts 11 and 12 for accommodating powder detergent, and a fabric softener next to the powder detergent accommodating parts 11 and 12. A softener and a bleach box 20 capable of separately storing (not shown) and a bleach (not shown) are placed therein. The detergent container 10 and the softener and bleach box 20 are disposed above the detergent container 10. A lead frame 40 that opens and closes and a lead frame 40 hingedly connected to each other and having an opening for injecting a powder detergent, a softener, and a bleach agent are installed.

Here, the softening agent and the bleach box 20 is placed on the box set-up portion (not shown) provided next to the powder detergent storage unit (11, 12) in which the powder detergent is stored, the upper surface is opened so that the softener or bleach on the upper side Injected, the partition plate 22 is installed in the center to separate the softener receiving portion 24 and the bleach receiving portion 26. Meanwhile, the powder detergent accommodating parts 11 and 12, the bleach accommodating part 24, and the softener accommodating part 26 have the same water supply structure as in the prior art, that is, the powder detergent accommodating part. A powder detergent water supply passage 56 for supplying water to the powder detergent accommodating parts 11 and 12 is formed above or next to the powder detergent accommodating parts 11 and 12, and the bleaching agent accommodating part of the softener and the bleach box 20 is provided. A bleaching water supply passage 58 for supplying water to the bleach receiving portion 24 is formed above or beside the 24, and above the softening agent receiving portion 26 of the softening agent and the bleach box 20. Next, a softener water supply passage 60 for supplying water to the softener accommodating portion 26 is formed. In addition, the water washing passage 56 for powder detergent is supplied with water supplied from the outside as in the conventional washing machine. The water supply valve 62 for powder detergent supplied with water and the water supplied from the outside And a water supply valve 64 for the bleaching agent to the water supply to the water supply flow path 58 for the bleaching agent, water softener valve 66 for water supply to the water supply from the outside to the softening agent water flow passage 60 is provided for.

A siphon tube 29a and a siphon cover 29b are installed at each of the softener accommodating part 24 and the bleach accommodating part 26 to be mixed with water to which the softener and the bleach are supplied to the bottom of the siphon tube 29a. Let it out.

As shown in FIG. 4, the softener and the bleach box 20 are formed with an insertion groove 21a into which the protrusion 16a protruding from the box seat 14 is inserted. Raised on the stepped portion 16b protruding from the 14, the other end is raised to the inclined portion 16c formed in the box set-up portion (14). In addition, the softener and the bleach box 20 are caught by the lead frame 40 to prevent any detachment through the opening of the lead frame 40.
