Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a water supply device for a tub-type washing machine.

Configuration of conventional example and its problems Figure 1 shows the configuration of a conventional water supply array of this type.
is a water supply pipe installed vertically to the control box 2, with a water supply hose 3 at its upper end and a flexible water supply pipe 4 at its lower end.
are connected to each other.

The other end of the water supply pipe 4 is locked to a water supply switching body 6 provided in the control box 2 so as to be able to slide left and right. If it is displaced to one side, water is supplied to the washing tub, and if it is displaced to the other direction, water is supplied to the dehydration tub.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, since water is supplied vertically, water immediately scatters when water is supplied to the water supply channel 6, making it difficult to take waterproof measures.

In addition, the water supply pipe 1 needs a certain length and height to connect the water supply hose 3 and the water pipe 4, and the water pipe 4 side also needs to have a certain length and height in order to fully utilize its flexibility. It was requested.

Therefore, there were problems such as the height of the water supply section becoming high and the packaging time required.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention eliminates these conventional drawbacks and provides a water supply device that enables rational water supply.

Structure of the Invention The water supply device for a washing machine of the present invention has an L-shaped water supply pipe and a similarly L-shaped water supply pipe connected to both ends of a connection pipe provided in a control box so as to be rotatable left and right, and Corresponding to the water supply side of the water supply pipe, a water supply separator is installed to separate the washing tank side conduit and the dehydration tank side conduit, and the diagonal water supply prevents water from scattering, and the water supply The height of the section can be reduced.

Description of examples Examples thereof will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In Figures 2 to 4, 11 is a control box installed above the washing machine, 12 is a connecting pipe installed inside the washing machine in the front-rear direction, and has an L-shaped water inlet 13a facing downward on the front side. A water supply pipe 13 is connected to the rear side thereof, and a water supply pipe 16, which is also L-shaped and has a connection port 15a of a water supply hose 14 facing upward, is connected to the rear side so as to be rotatable left and right. 16
is a mountain-shaped water supply separation body installed corresponding to the water supply port 13a of the water supply pipe 13, and has a washing tank side water supply channel 17 inclined toward the washing tank side and a dewatering tank side water supply channel 17 inclined toward the dewatering tank side. 18 are partitioned.

Reference numeral 19 indicates a switching operator provided on the control box 11 so as to be able to slide left and right. A lever unit 20 projects from a part of the switching operator, and a water supply pipe 13 is inserted into a hole 21 formed at the tip of the lever unit 2o. A more protruding protrusion 22 is facing.

That is, the water supply pipe 13 is rotated left and right by the operation of the switching operator 19 as if swinging its head, and the water supply port 13 is rotated from side to side as if swinging its head.
A is opposed to either the washing tub side water conduit 17 or the dewatering side water conduit 18.

23 is a water supply pipe 1 formed on the top surface of the control box 11
There are four storage compartments for No.5.

In the above configuration, if the water supply pipe 13 is now rotated to the left via the switching operator 19 and the water supply port 13a is directed toward the washing tub side water conduit 17, water will be supplied to the washing tub. If the water is directed toward the dehydration tank side conduit 18, water is supplied to the dehydration tank. During the above-mentioned water supply operation, the water is sent out from the inclined washing tank side or from the dehydration tank side conduit 17, 18, so there is no water scattering, and the water pipe 13 has its water inlet 13a swinging. It is only necessary to rotate the water supply port 13a as shown in FIG.

Furthermore, if the water supply pipe 16 is rotated and stored in the recess 23 during packaging, it will not protrude from the control box 11.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there is no water splashing when water is supplied, and the waterproofness of the washing machine can be improved, and the height of the water supply part is lowered. This has excellent effects, such as the ability to significantly reduce the amount of packaging required.
