Fully automatic washing machine {Washing machine}
[19] The present invention relates to a fully automatic washing machine, and more particularly, to increase the output by forming an outer rotor type motor, as well as to control the washing machine for washing and rinsing by stirring mode, reverse rotation mode, transmission mode and the like; To the device.
[20] In general, the automatic washing machine is a product that removes contaminants such as clothing and bedding by using friction and impact of the water flow caused by the emulsification of the detergent and the rotation of the washing blade 30. The sensor detects the amount and type of laundry, automatically sets the washing method, and supplies water to the appropriate level according to the amount and type of laundry.
[21] As described above, in the conventional fully automatic washing machine, as shown in FIG. 1, a dehydration tank combined laundry tank 20 having a plurality of dehydration holes is rotatably installed in the outer tank 10 installed in the outer case 1. In the lower center of the washing tub 20, the washing blade 30 is rotatably installed. And the lower part of the outer tub 10 is provided with a drive device including a clutch 40 and the motor (3) for rotating the washing tank 20 and the washing wing (30).
[22] That is, a motor 3 is installed at one lower side of the outer tub 10, and a clutch 40 for intermittent rotational power of the motor 3 is installed at the side of the motor 3. Pulleys 3a and 40a are coupled to the lower end of the shaft of the motor 3 and the clutch 40, and a belt 5 is connected therebetween.
[23] As shown in FIG. 2, a clutch pulley 40a is installed at the lower end of the clutch 40, and the lower washing shaft 51 and the upper washing shaft 35 are sequentially disposed above the clutch pulley 40a. Connected. And the drum 56 is fixed to the lower end of the dewatering shaft 25 is coupled to the lower portion of the washing tank. A lower dehydration shaft 57 is coupled to a lower portion of the drum 56, and a planetary gear 52, which is a power reduction means, is installed inside the drum 56.
[24] And the lower end of the lower washing shaft 51 is in contact with the lower end of the washing shaft 51, the clutch spring 44 and the spring block 45 and the clutch spring 44 surrounding the spring block 45 to be described later A spring boss 43 is installed to adjust the diameter of the spring. In addition, a brake lever 41 having an operating lever 46 and an operating cam 42 is installed at an outer circumference of the spring boss 43.
[25] The drive device configured as described above is operated as follows during washing and dehydration. First, during washing, the spring boss 43 is engaged with the actuating cam 42 that operates by operating the brake lever 41 to twist the end of the clutch spring 44 in a direction in which the diameter increases.
[26] Accordingly, the clutch spring 44 having an increased diameter maintains the spaced apart from the outer circumferential surface of the spring block 45. In this state, the rotational force of the motor 3 is transmitted to the clutch pulley 40a and the lower washing shaft 51 by the belt 5. The transmission force is transmitted from the upper washing shaft 35 to the washing blade 30 to rotate the washing tub 20 in the direction opposite to the rotation of the washing blade 30.
[27] In addition, when the brake lever 41 is pulled during dehydration, the diameter of the clutch spring 44 is reduced as the actuating cam 42 is separated from the gear of the spring boss 43. By the restoring force of the reduced diameter as described above, the clutch spring 44 can be engaged with the lower dehydration shaft 57 and the spring block 45 at the same time.
[28] On the other hand, when the lower washing shaft 51 receives the power of the motor 3 rotates, the lower washing shaft 51 and the fixed spring block 45 rotates like the lower washing shaft 51. At this time, the clutch spring 44 engaging the spring block 45 and the lower dehydration shaft 57 is subjected to rotational force in the winding direction. The rotational force connects the spring block 45 and the lower dehydration shaft 57 with more powerful force. In addition, the drum 56 and the planetary gear 52 may be integrally rotated by the strong connection force.
[29] Thus, during the dehydration, the washing tub 20 as well as the washing blade 30 are rotated at high speed in the same direction to advance dehydration.
[30] However, the driving device as described above transmits the rotational force of the motor to the power transmission shaft by the belt, thereby reducing the power. In addition, since the structure of the clutch and the deceleration means is very complicated, the production is difficult and the productivity is lowered, which is a cause of failure. In addition, the problem that the eccentricity of the washing tank occurs by attaching the motor to the side of the clutch.
[31] In order to solve the problem of the eccentricity of the washing tank has been developed a technology for attaching the inner rotor type induction motor attached to the side of the clutch to the lower end of the clutch. The problem that the washing tank is eccentric by attaching the motor to the lower end of the clutch as described above has been solved.
[32] However, while the inner rotor type induction motor is installed at the lower end of the clutch, the length of the inner rotor type induction motor is added to the length of the clutch, resulting in a problem that the washing machine is overall long. That is, the washing machine is made as high as the length of the inner rotor type induction motor compared to the conventional washing machine, which does not correspond to the washing machine height determined by the height of the consumer.
[33] When the inner rotor type induction motor is attached to the side of the clutch as described above, it is pointed out that the structure is complicated, the driving force is reduced, and the eccentricity of the washing tank is caused. And when the inner rotor type induction motor is attached to the lower end of the clutch has a disadvantage that the length of the washing machine should be long.
[34] The present invention is to solve the above problems, the first object is to simplify the structure of the clutch, while obtaining a strong rotational force required for washing and a high rotational speed required for dehydration.
[35] The second object of the present invention is to provide an automatic washing machine which can prevent the unbalance of the washing tank by applying an outer rotor type BLDC motor, and can make the length of the washing machine similar to the existing one.
[36] And the third object of the present invention is to maintain the system as described above, washing the rotating washing tub without rotating the washing tank, and the reverse rotation mode for rotating the washing tank and the washing wing, the washing wing and the washing tank It is to provide a washing machine performing a transmission mode for rotating the high speed at the same time, a pressing mode for rotating in the forward and reverse directions.

[85] Referring to Figure 6a looks at the case of the stirring washing mode in which the washing tank is fixed and washing and rinsing while the washing blade rotates only.
[86] First, the clutch operation motor 620 operates, and the link 630 linearly moves toward the clutch operation motor 620. The detachable lever 640 is inclined by the linear motion of the connection link 630.
[87] And due to the inclination, the coupler support part 640b pushes up the sliding coupler 650 upwards. As the sliding coupler 650 rises, the protrusion 652 of the sliding coupler 650 is coupled to the stopper 660. At this time, the sliding coupler 650 is moved to the position that can be engaged only in the lower dehydration shaft 140 (second position).
[88] When the driving device is driven in the above state, the rotor assembly 500 rotates around the stator assembly 400 about the lower washing shaft 240. In addition, only the washing shaft 200 is rotated by the rotation of the rotor assembly 500, and the washing blade is rotated along the rotational direction of the driving motor, whereby stirring and rinsing are performed. At this time, the drain motor is off and closed.
[89] At this time, looking at the rotational force transmission process, the rotational force by the rotor assembly 500, the engaging member 550a of the rotor frame 530, the lower washing shaft 240 coupled to the engaging member 550a, planetary gear ( 220, the carrier 230, the upper washing shaft 210 is delivered. At this time, the dehydration shaft 100 is in a state in which it is impossible to rotate due to the restraint of the drum 160 by the brake pad 780 and the restraint by the sliding coupler 650.
[90] As described above, the planetary gear 220 rotates in the opposite direction to the sun gear 242 of the lower washing shaft 240 in the state in which the drum 160 is restrained (off the brake pad) as described above. At the same time, the drum 160 revolves around the sun gear 242 in the same direction.
[91] By the revolving of the planetary gear 220 as described above, the upper washing shaft 210 connected to the carrier 230 rotates in the same direction as the revolving of the planetary gear 220 in the upper dehydration shaft 120. The washing blade combined with the upper washing shaft 210 also rotates in the same direction as the planetary gear 220 to perform washing and rinsing.
[92] Referring to Figure 6b looks at the case of the reverse rotation washing mode in which the washing tank and the washing wing is rotated with each other while the washing and rinsing progress.
[93] The clutch operation motor 620 operates in the reverse rotation washing mode in the stirring washing mode, and the connection link 630 performs a linear movement at a predetermined interval toward the clutch housing 300. By the linear movement of the connecting link 630, the detachable lever 640 is inclined in a state that is uniformly reduced than the stirring mode.
[94] By the inclination, the sliding coupler 650 mounted on the coupler support part 640b moves downward (a third position) by a predetermined distance. At this time, the predetermined distance, the protrusion 652 of the sliding coupler 650 is separated from the coupling hole 660b of the stopper 660, the interval between the upper end of the protrusion 652 and the lower end of the coupling hole 660b. This is to form a distance (about 3mm) out of reach. At this time, the sliding coupler 650 is engaged only to the lower dehydration shaft 140.
[95] When the driving device is operated in the above state, the rotor assembly 500 rotates around the stator assembly 400 about the lower washing shaft 240. And the washing shaft 200 is rotated by the rotation of the rotor assembly 500, the washing blade coupled to the washing shaft 200 rotates in the rotational direction of the drive motor.
[96] And the drum 160, which was restrained by the brake pad 780 in the stirring and washing mode, is freely rotated while the brake assembly 700 is turned on. In addition, the dehydration shaft 100 coupled to the drum 160 and the washing tank coupled with the dehydration shaft 100 are also freely rotatable.
[97] As described above, the washing blade and the washing tank are rotated at the same time so that reverse washing and rinsing are performed. The drain motor is off and closed.
[98] At this time, looking at the rotational force transmission process, the rotational force by the rotation of the rotor assembly 500, the engaging member 550a of the rotor frame 530, the lower washing shaft 240 coupled to the engaging member 550a, planetary It is transmitted to the gear 220, the carrier 230, the upper washing shaft 210. The planetary gear 220 rotates in the opposite direction to the sun gear 242 of the lower washing shaft 240 and rotates around the drum 160 in the same direction as the sun gear 242.
[99] As the planetary gear 220 revolves as described above, the upper laundry shaft 210 connected to the carrier 230 rotates in the same direction as the revolution of the planetary gear 220 inside the upper dehydration shaft 120. The washing blade combined with the upper washing shaft 210 also rotates in the same direction as the planetary gear 220 to perform washing and rinsing.
[100] Then, the brake assembly 700 is turned on so that the drum 160 is released from restraint. That is, the drum 160 and the dehydration shaft 100 coupled to the upper and lower parts of the drum 160 form a rotatable state.
[101] The drum 160 and the dewatering shaft 100 rotate in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotor assembly 500 due to the revolutions associated with the rotation of the planetary gear 220. In addition, the washing tank connected to the dehydration shaft 100 also rotates in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotor assembly 500.
[102] As described above, the washing shaft 200 and the washing blade rotate in the same direction as the rotor assembly 500, and the dehydration shaft 100 and the washing tank rotate in the opposite direction to the rotor assembly 500. As a result of the rotation, the washing blade and the washing tank rotate in different directions, i.e., reverse rotation, and perform washing and rinsing.
[103] On the other hand, while the washing tank and the washing blades rotate in the same direction at high speed, look at the transmission washing mode in which the washing and rinsing proceeds. And while the same as the permeable washing mode, but the washing water while maintaining the speed does not move to the outside of the washing tank looks at the compression washing mode that rotates forward and backward.
[104] Permeate washing is to rotate the washing tank at high speed as in dehydration mode to make 'V' shaped water inside the washing tank to proceed with washing. Water moved to the outside of the washing tank by the centrifugal force by the high speed rotation is washed while passing through the laundry.
[105] Then, the water passing through the washing tank is moved to the outer tank and rises upward through the outer tank wall. The water rising in the outer tank repeats the flow of the fluid flowing back into the washing tank by the tub cover installed on the upper portion of the outer tank.
[106] Compression washing, like permeation mode, rotates the washing tub at the same time as the washing blade to make 'V' water. However, slower than the rotational speed of the transmission washing mode, that is, the washing water is delivered only to the outer tank, washing is performed while maintaining the speed that does not rise to the upper portion in the outer tank. In the state in which the laundry is compressed by the washing water, the washing tank and the washing blade rotate in the forward and reverse directions.
[107] Referring to Figure 6c looks at the operation of the drive device in the transmission washing mode and the compressed laundry mode according to the present invention.
[108] In the permeation and compression washing mode, the clutch operation motor 620 rotates in the direction opposite to the washing and rinsing stroke, and the detachable lever 640 is vertical. The coupler support part 640b is in an equilibrium state, and the sliding coupler 650 mounted on the coupler support part 640b moves downward by its own weight. As described above, the sliding coupler 650 moved downward is engaged (first position) simultaneously with the lower dehydration shaft 140 and the engagement member 550a.
[109] When the driving device is operated in the above state, the washing shaft 200 is rotated by the rotation of the rotor assembly 500. In addition, the lower dehydration shaft 140 connected to the engagement member 550a by the sliding coupler 650 rotates in the same direction as the washing shaft 200. The rotational force of the lower dehydration shaft 140 is transferred to the washing tank via the drum 160 and the upper dehydration shaft 120 which can be freely rotated by the brake assembly 700 being turned on.
[110] As described above, the washing blade and the washing tank are rotated at the same time in the same direction at a high speed to perform permeation washing and rinsing. The drain motor is off and closed.
[111] At this time, looking at the rotational force transmission process, the rotational force by the rotation of the rotor assembly 500, the engaging coupler 550a of the rotor frame 530, the sliding coupler 650 engaged with the engaging member 550a, the sliding coupler The lower dehydration shaft 140, the drum 160, the upper dehydration shaft 120 engaged with the 650 are moved to the washing tank. At the same time, the washing shaft 200 embedded in the dehydration shaft 100 rotates together with the dehydration shaft 100 to transmit the rotational force to the washing blade.
[112] Since the dewatering shaft 100 and the washing shaft 200 rotate at the same time as described above, the planetary gear 220 rotating and rotating inside the drum 160 by the sun gear 242 does not rotate and rotate. I can't. That is, by the rotation of the rotor assembly 500, the washing tank and the washing blades perform washing and rinsing while rotating at a high speed or reverse rotation at the same time.
[113] The dehydration mode is performed when the drain valve is on, that is, the drain valve is open. As shown in FIG. 6B, the clutch operation motor 620 rotates in the opposite direction to the washing and rinsing stroke, and the detachable lever 640 is vertical.
[114] The coupler support part 640b is in an equilibrium state, and the sliding coupler 650 mounted on the coupler support part 640b moves downward by its own weight. As described above, the sliding coupler 650 moved downward is engaged (first position) simultaneously with the lower dehydration shaft 140 and the engagement member 550a.
[115] At this time, looking at the rotational force transmission process, the rotational force by the rotation of the rotor assembly 500, the engaging member 550a of the rotor frame 530, the sliding coupler 650 engaged with the engaging member 550a, the sliding The lower dehydration shaft 140, the drum 160, the upper dehydration shaft 120 engaged with the coupler 650 are moved to the washing tank.
[116] The planetary gear 220 does not rotate because the drum 160 of the dehydration shaft 100 rotates at the same speed as the lower washing shaft 240. However, it rotates around the sun gear 242 between the sun gear 242 and the drum 160.
[117] As described above, according to the present invention, the motor and the clutch assembly, which are conventional washing machine power transmission methods, are separately configured, and the motor is directly connected to the lower portion of the clutch assembly instead of connecting the belt assembly therebetween. In other words, by using the outer rotor-type motor solves the problem that the washing machine body lengthens as well as the eccentricity of the washing tank.
[118] Then, the rotor assembly constituting the rotating device is disposed outside the stator assembly as the stator to increase the power of the motor, and washing and rinsing are performed in the stirring mode, the reverse rotation mode, and the transmission mode.
[119] Within the scope of the basic technical idea of the present invention, of course, many other modifications are possible to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention should of course be interpreted by the appended claims.
[120] According to the present invention as described above, the outer rotor-type motor is directly connected to the lower side of the clutch has the advantage of increasing the output of the motor while preventing the eccentricity of the washing tank and the longer washing machine. In addition, the washing performance and the rinsing performance can be improved by performing washing and rinsing in the stirring washing mode, the transparent washing mode, the compressed washing mode, etc. with the increased output of the motor.
