Filter device of washing machine

Abstract

A filter device of a washing machine of the present invention includes a filter body for catching foreign matters, a cap having a knob capable of operating the filter body in the rotation direction and axis direction and a magnetic body, a reed switch, an O-ring for water sealing, and a control device. The reed switch is turned on when the position of the cap in the rotation direction and axis direction corresponds to a predetermined position. When an ON signal is not input from the reed switch, the control device stops proceeding of processes and notifies that the filter device is not mounted completely on a display, thereby notifying a user of abnormality that can be corrected by a user's simple procedure and a procedure to be taken.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a filter device for capturing foreign matter such as lint contained in the drainage of a washing machine or the like. Background technique [0002] When the washing machine is used, it usually occurs that foreign objects such as thread ends of clothing and garbage enter the washing water. At this time, if these foreign objects are directly drained out of the main body of the washing machine, the drain pump, drain valve, and drainage path of the main body of the washing machine will be clogged, and the drainage pipes connected to the sewer of the house where the washing machine is installed will be clogged. Therefore, a filter device for trapping the above-mentioned lint and the like, and a washing machine provided with the filter device have been conventionally proposed (for example, refer to JP-A-2002-282616). [0003] Figure 7 An external view of a conventional washing machine having a filter device is shown. Figu...

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, when the toes of the user or family members passing by the washing machine touch the cover 101, or when the user does not realize that the fastening of the cover 35 is bad and wants to forcibly press the cover 101, there is a possibility that There is a danger that the cover 101 is damaged or the cover 101 is detached from the main body of the washing machine. In such a state, it is impossible to confirm whether water leakage is prevented.

[0019] In addition to the above-mentioned problems, there is also the following problem: Since the operation of such a washing machine is not performed by professionals, but usually by housewives, etc., there is a problem that it is necessary to understand and easily prevent water leakage.
