Description

Washing machine {a washer}

The present invention relates to a washing machine, and more particularly, to a washing machine provided with an ultrasonic cleaning apparatus for washing glasses and precious metals on one side of a case.

In general, a washing machine is a machine that removes stains on clothes by providing mechanical action using electricity.When it is put on clothes, it is removed from the fibers by the chemical action of detergent when it is put in the wash water. Because it takes time, if the water flow is forcibly generated and mechanical action such as friction or vibration can be removed quickly and easily.

It comprises 16.

In addition, a cover 18 is installed at the upper side of the case 2 to prevent laundry from being separated from the washing tank 4, and the front of the cover 18 adjusts a washing course, detergent amount, detergent time, and the like. The control unit 20 and the key input unit 20a is provided, the water supply valve 22 and detergent for supplying the washing water and detergent into the washing tank 4 and the dehydration tank 6 at the rear of the cover 18 The box 24 and the detergent box housing 26 are installed.

On the other hand, the lower side of the dehydration tank 6 is provided with a drain valve 32 and a drain pipe 34 for discharging the washing water of the washing tank 4 and the dehydration tank 6 to the outside.

Recently, however, there is a need for a washing machine with an additional function of washing not only cloth such as clothing but also glasses and precious metals.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a washing machine capable of additionally washing things such as glasses and precious metals, as well as washing only cloth such as clothes.

The washing machine according to the present invention for solving the above problems is a case in which a washing tank and a dehydration tank are installed inside, a water tank installed on one side of the upper end of the case, and the glass and the precious metal are cleaned, and a high frequency electric signal is supplied with power. And a high frequency oscillation unit for generating a high frequency oscillation unit for converting the high frequency electric signal generated from the high frequency oscillation unit into ultrasonic waves and delivering ultrasonic waves to the tank side.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a plan view showing a washing machine according to the present invention, Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A of FIG.

3 and 4, the washing machine according to the present invention includes a washing tank 54 and a dehydration tank (not shown) in which a cloth such as clothing is washed inside the case 52 forming an outline, and the case ( 52 is provided in the groove portion 52a formed on one side of the upper end of the water tank 92 for cleaning glasses and precious metals, a high frequency oscillation unit (not shown) for supplying power to generate a high frequency electric signal, and the groove portion 52a. It is installed on the bottom of the) is configured to include an ultrasonic vibration unit 94 for converting the high frequency electric signal generated from the high frequency oscillation unit (not shown) to the ultrasonic wave to transmit the ultrasonic wave to the tank (92) side.

Here, the case 52 is an input hole (H) is formed in the center of the upper surface so that the laundry can be introduced into the washing tank 54, the control unit 70 for controlling the operation of the washing machine in front of the input hole (H). ) And a key input unit 70a and a water supply valve (not shown), a detergent box (not shown), and a detergent box housing (not shown) inside the top cover 53 installed at the rear of the input hole H. The water supply device (not shown) is configured.

In particular, the key input unit 70a is provided with an ultrasonic cleaning button 72 so that the control unit 70 may perform ultrasonic cleaning by controlling the operations of the high frequency oscillator (not shown) and the ultrasonic vibration unit 94.

In addition, a groove 52a in which the water tank 92 is installed is formed at one side of the water supply device (not shown), that is, the top cover 53, and a water tank cover 96 at an upper end side of the groove 52a. The hinge is connected to prevent foreign matters from being introduced into the water tank 92.

In particular, the water tank 92 is detachably installed in the groove portion 52a of the case 52 so that a user can directly supply and discharge the washing solution, and the water tank 92 is disposed on the bottom surface of the groove portion 52a. Ultrasonic vibrator 94 is fixedly installed so that ultrasonic waves can be directly transmitted to the side), and the ultrasonic vibrator 94 is connected to a high frequency oscillator (not shown).

Accordingly, the high frequency oscillator (not shown) supplied with power generates a high frequency electric signal, and the ultrasonic vibration unit 94 supplied with the high frequency electric signal converts the high frequency electric signal into ultrasonic waves and transmits the ultrasonic signal to the water tank 92. do.

Looking at the operation of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

If the user wants ultrasonic cleaning, put the washing solution and glasses and precious metal to be washed in the water tank 92, the water tank 92 is mounted in the groove portion 52a formed in the case 52, according to the type of washing The ultrasonic cleaning button 72 of the key input unit 70a is operated.

Here, the washing solution is run depending on the wash, usually water is used, the appropriate detergent is added to the wash to improve the cleaning performance.

Thereafter, a high frequency is generated in the high frequency oscillator (not shown) by the controller 70, and the high frequency is converted into an ultrasonic wave in the ultrasonic vibration unit 94 and transmitted to the water tank 92.

Accordingly, very large pressure and high temperature are generated while fine bubbles are generated and dissipated in the washing solution inside the water tank 92 by the large pressure of the ultrasonic waves transmitted to the water tank 92 side.

These pressures and high temperatures occur in short units of hundreds of seconds to thousands of seconds, dispersing and degrading contaminants and maximizing the effectiveness of detergents.

The washing machine according to the present invention configured as described above has an advantage of washing the glasses and precious metals easily with laundry, as well as washing only cloth such as clothing, but having a water tank and an ultrasonic vibration unit and a high frequency generating unit built into one side of the case. have.
