Description
본 발명은 세탁기에 관한 것으로, 상세하게는 날개차에 의해 촉매제를 가압 이송시키는 이송축의 외주면으로 압축공기를 분사하여 촉매제를 건조시킴으로써 촉매제의 열화를 방지하고, 촉매제의 공급이 원활히 이루어지도록 구성한 것으로, 특히 별도의 세제공급없이 세탁수의 전기분해를 이용하여 세탁이 이루어지도록 구성한 무세제방식의 세탁기에 적합하도록 구성한 세탁기용 촉매제 공급장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a washing machine, and in particular, it is configured to prevent deterioration of the catalyst by spraying compressed air to the outer circumferential surface of the feed shaft for pressurizing and transporting the catalyst by a vane to prevent catalyst deterioration, and to smoothly supply the catalyst, In particular, the present invention relates to a catalyst supplying device for a washing machine, which is configured to be suitable for a washing machine of a detergent-free washing machine configured to perform washing using electrolysis of washing water without a separate detergent supply.
일반적으로 가정용 세탁기는 세탁조에 투입된 세탁물이 세제가 함유된 세탁수와 함께 회전하는 과정에서 세제의 계면활성작용과 세탁조 내벽면과의 마찰이나 낙하에 따른 충격에 의해 세탁효과가 발생하며, 특히 펄세이터 방식의 세탁기에서는 세제의 계면활성작용과 펄세이터의 회전에 의해 형성된 수류에 의해 세탁이 이루어진다.In general, a washing machine in a household washing machine generates a washing effect due to the surfactant activity and the impact of friction or drop with the inner wall of the washing tank in the process of rotating the laundry into the washing tank together with the washing water containing the detergent. In particular, the pulsator In the washing machine of the type washing is performed by the water flow formed by the surfactant action of the detergent and the rotation of the pulsator.
이와 달리 최근에 개발된 세탁기에서는 세탁물에 대한 마찰력 및 낙하에 따른 충격이나 수류에 의한 세탁작용과 함께 특수한 구조의 전기분해 장치를 경유한 세탁수를 세탁 이온수로 전환시킴으로써 별도의 세제투입없이 세탁물의 오염물을 분해하고, 각종 세균의 살균이 이루어지도록 한다.On the other hand, in the recently developed washing machine, contaminants of laundry without the addition of detergent by converting the washing water through the electrolytic device of the special structure into the washing ion water with the frictional force and the washing action due to the impact or drop of the laundry. Decompose and sterilize various bacteria.
상기한 바와 같은 무세제 방식의 세탁기에서는 세탁시 세제가 불필요한 반면 초기 세탁과정에서 오염물의 분해와 살균을 촉진시킴으로써 세탁시간을 단축시키고, 세탁력을 높이도록 세탁수에 촉매제를 투입시키며, 이와 같은 촉매제로는 통상적으로 탄산나트륨(sodium carbonate)을 이용한다.In the non-detergent washing machine as described above, detergent is not necessary for washing, while the initial washing process accelerates the decomposition and sterilization of contaminants, shortens the washing time, and adds a catalyst to the washing water to increase washing power. Is commonly used sodium carbonate (sodium carbonate).
상기한 바와 같이 탄산나트륨을 주재로한 촉매제는 세탁수에 대해 소량의 투입만으로도 세탁수의 생성속도가 향상되므로, 촉매제 및 세탁수의 불필요한 소모를 방지하기 위해 최소한의 양만이 투입될 수 있도록 투입량의 규제가 필요하다.As described above, the catalyst based on sodium carbonate improves the production speed of the washing water even by adding a small amount to the washing water. Therefore, the amount of the catalyst is controlled so that a minimum amount may be added to prevent unnecessary consumption of the catalyst and the washing water. Is needed.
이때, 상기한 탄산나트륨은 흡습성이 강한 관계로 분말상태로 사용할 경우에는 세탁과정에서 발생한 수증기에 의해 분말이 응착되어 굳어짐으로써 장시간의 저장이 곤란하며, 이에 따라 분말상태의 탄산나트륨을 압축시켜 고형의 정제로 제조하여 장시간 보관할 경우에도 응착을 방지하는 동시에 세탁조에 대한 원활한 투입이 가능하도록 한다.In this case, when the sodium carbonate is used in a powder state due to its strong hygroscopicity, the powder is hardened and hardened by water vapor generated during the washing process, thus making it difficult to store for a long time. Even if it is manufactured and stored for a long time, it prevents the adhesion and at the same time enables the smooth input of the washing tank.
도 1은 상기한 바와 같이 고형의 정제로 촉매제를 공급시키는 장치의 사시도로서, 이와 같은 세탁기용 촉매제 공급장치(200)는, 촉매제의 저장공간을 제공하는 챔버(110)의 저부에 촉매제를 가압 송출시키는 이송축(120)을 저부로부터 수평으로 결합시키고, 상기한 이송축(120)의 선단으로는 제어부로부터 공급된 전원에 의해 회전하는 감속모터(M)의 회전축이 연결된다.1 is a perspective view of a device for supplying a catalyst to a solid tablet as described above, such a catalyst supply device for a washing machine 200, pressurized delivery of the catalyst to the bottom of the chamber 110 that provides a storage space for the catalyst The feed shaft 120 to be horizontally coupled from the bottom, and the rotary shaft of the reduction motor (M) that is rotated by the power supplied from the control unit is connected to the front end of the feed shaft (120).
또한, 상기한 바와 같이 감속모터(M)가 결합된 챔버(110)의 타단으로는 중력에 의해 낙하하는 촉매제의 이동이 안내되도록 호퍼(105)가 형성되며, 상기한 호퍼(105)의 상단과 이송축(120)의 선단 사이에는 고무재의 탄성판(115)이 수직으로 부착됨으로써 이송축(120)이 정지된 상태에서 관성에 의해 과량의 촉매제가 호퍼로 공급되는 것을 차단한다.In addition, as described above, the other end of the chamber 110 to which the reduction motor M is coupled is formed with a hopper 105 to guide the movement of the catalyst falling by gravity, and the upper end of the hopper 105 The elastic plate 115 of the rubber material is vertically attached between the tips of the feed shaft 120 to prevent excess catalyst from being supplied to the hopper by inertia while the feed shaft 120 is stopped.
이와 함께 상기한 호퍼(105)의 토출구(101) 선단으로는 수돗물의 이온을 분리시켜 세탁수로 전환시키는 도시안된 세탁수 생성장치가 연결된다.In addition, the discharging port 101 of the hopper 105 is connected to a washing water generating device (not shown) which separates ions of tap water and converts them into washing water.
이와 같은 종래의 세탁기용 촉매제 공급장치(200)는, 세탁기의 초기 동작과정에서 제어부의 제어에 따라 감속모터(M)에 일정시간동안 동작전원이 인가됨으로써 감속모터(M)가 회전하면, 상기한 감속모터(M)의 회전축 선단에 결합된이송축(120)이 촉매제를 호퍼(105)로 이송시켜 촉매제가 세탁수 생성장치로 공급되도록 한다.Such a conventional catalyst supply device for a washing machine 200, when the operating speed is applied to the reduction motor (M) for a predetermined time under the control of the control unit during the initial operation of the washing machine, when the reduction motor (M) rotates, The feed shaft 120 coupled to the front end of the rotating shaft of the reduction motor M transfers the catalyst to the hopper 105 so that the catalyst is supplied to the washing water generating device.
그러나, 상기한 바와 같은 구조를 갖는 세탁기용 촉매제 공급장치(200)는 세탁수의 양에 비례한 정량의 촉매제의 공급이 가능하고, 호퍼(105) 및 탄성판(115)의 작용에 따라 세탁수 생성장치로부터 발생한 수증기가 챔버(110)의 내부로 공급되는 것을 차단할 수 있는 반면, 장마철과 같이 다습한 상태에서 촉매제를 장시간 방치하거나 외부의 수증기가 챔버(110)에 직접 작용할 경우에는 내부에 저장된 촉매제가 손상된다.However, the catalyst supply device 200 for a washing machine having the structure as described above is capable of supplying the catalyst in a quantity proportional to the amount of the washing water, and the washing water according to the action of the hopper 105 and the elastic plate 115. While the water vapor generated from the generating device may be prevented from being supplied into the chamber 110, when the catalyst is left for a long time in a humid state such as in a rainy season or when external water vapor directly acts on the chamber 110, the catalyst stored therein is stored. Is damaged.
또한, 챔버(110)에 저장된 각 촉매제가 수분에 의해 고착됨에 따라 초기 세탁과정에서 촉매제의 공급이 불량하게 이루어지는 등의 문제점이 발생한다.In addition, as each catalyst stored in the chamber 110 is fixed by moisture, problems such as poor supply of the catalyst during the initial washing process occur.
본 발명은 상기한 종래의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 안출한 것으로, 본 발명의 기술적 과제는 세탁기의 초기 동작과정에서 외주면에 형성한 날개차에 의해 촉매제를 가압 이송시키는 이송축의 외주면으로 압축공기를 분사함으로써 챔버에 저장된 촉매제를 건조시켜 촉매제의 열화를 방지하고, 촉매제의 공급에 원활히 이루어질 수 있는 수단을 제공하는 것이다.The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the technical problem of the present invention by spraying the compressed air to the outer peripheral surface of the feed shaft for pressurizing the catalyst by the vane formed on the outer peripheral surface during the initial operation of the washing machine By drying the catalyst stored in the chamber to prevent deterioration of the catalyst, to provide a means that can be made smoothly to supply the catalyst.
상기한 바와 같은 본 발명의 기술적 과제는, 내부에는 촉매제가 저장되는 공간부를 형성하고, 측면 일측으로는 제어부로부터 인가된 전원에 의해 회전하는 감속모터를 구비하며, 상기 감속모터의 대향면으로는 호퍼를 형성한 사각통체 형상의 챔버;The technical problem of the present invention as described above, there is formed a space portion for storing the catalyst therein, and on one side of the side is provided with a reduction motor that is rotated by the power applied from the control unit, the hopper is the opposite surface of the reduction motor A chamber having a rectangular cylindrical shape formed with;
상기 감속모터의 회전축 선단에 결합되어 챔버의 저부로부터 수평으로 회전하며, 외주면으로는 스크류 형상의 날개차를 형성하고, 표면으로는 중공부와 연통된 다수의 통기공을 형성시킨 이송축;A feed shaft coupled to the front end of the rotary shaft of the reduction motor to rotate horizontally from the bottom of the chamber, to form a screw-shaped vane on its outer circumferential surface, and to form a plurality of vents communicating with the hollow portion on its surface;
공기펌프의 동작에 따라 발생한 압축공기를 연결호스를 통해 상기 이송축의 중공부로 공급시키는 압축공기 공급수단으로 이루어진 것을 특징으로 하는 세탁기용 촉매제 공급장치를 제공함으로써 달성된다.It is achieved by providing a catalyst supply device for a washing machine, characterized in that consisting of compressed air supply means for supplying the compressed air generated by the operation of the air pump to the hollow portion of the feed shaft through a connecting hose.
이하, 본 발명에 의한 세탁기용 촉매제 공급장치를 첨부한 도면을 참조하여 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the catalyst supply device for a washing machine according to the present invention will be described in detail.

여기서 촉매제가 저장되도록 공간부를 형성한 사각통체 형상의 챔버(10)는, 측면 일측으로 제어부로부터 인가된 전원에 의해 회전하는 감속모터(M)가 결합되며, 상기한 감속모터(M)의 대향면으로는 호퍼(5)가 형성된다.Here, the rectangular cylinder-shaped chamber 10 in which the space is formed to store the catalyst is coupled to the reduction motor M, which is rotated by the power applied from the control unit to one side of the side, and the opposite surface of the reduction motor M. The hopper 5 is formed.
상기한 호퍼(5)는 중력에 의해 낙하하는 촉매제의 이동을 안내하도록 구성한 것으로, 하부에는 경사면이 형성되며, 상기한 경사면의 선단으로는 세탁수 생성장치와 연결되는 토출구(1)가 형성된다.The hopper 5 is configured to guide the movement of the catalyst falling by gravity, the inclined surface is formed at the bottom, the discharge port (1) connected to the washing water generating device is formed at the tip of the inclined surface.
계속해서 상기한 감속모터(M)의 회전축 선단에 결합되어 챔버(10)의 저부로부터 수평으로 회전함으로써 촉매제를 이송시키는 이송축(20)은, 외주면으로 스크류 형상의 날개차(11)가 형성되고, 표면으로는 중공부(20A)와 연통된 다수의 통기공(13)이 연속형성되며, 상기한 중공부(20A)의 선단으로는 압축공기 공급수단(30)이 연결된다.Subsequently, the feed shaft 20, which is coupled to the front end of the rotation shaft of the reduction motor M and rotates horizontally from the bottom of the chamber 10, and transfers the catalyst, has a screw-shaped vane 11 formed on the outer circumferential surface thereof.
