Laundry treatment apparatus

Abstract

The invention relates to a laundry treatment apparatus. The laundry treatment apparatus includes a tub body for storing water; a tub cover for forming an upper surface of the tub body; an introduction aperture formed through the tub cover; a drum rotatably provided in the tub body for storing laundry, the drum having an opening communicating with the introduction aperture; a door for opening and closing the introduction aperture; a rotating shaft for rotating the drum; and a washing unit for ejecting at least some of water moved toward the tub cover to the door using centrifugal force generated while the drum is rotated.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of an application with an application date of June 30, 2016, an application number of 201610514023.3, and an invention title of "clothes processing device". technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a laundry treating device. Background technique [0003] Generally, the laundry treating apparatus includes an apparatus for washing laundry (washing object, drying object), an apparatus for drying the laundry, and an apparatus performing both washing and drying of the laundry. [0004] Conventionally, clothes treating devices are classified into a front-loading type in which clothes are put into the device through an inlet provided on the front of the device, and a top-loading type in which clothes are put into the device through an inlet provided in the upper part of the device. [0005] The top-loading clothes processing device includes: an outer tub with an inlet on the upper surface; a drum rotatably arrange...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0008] That is, when the above-mentioned drum rotates, a water flow is formed inside the tub, so there is a possibility that foam generated due to detergent being dissolved during laundry washing or dirt discharged from the laundry remains on the door or the drum, etc. after washing is completed.

[0009] Moreover, in the conventional clothes treatment device, if foam or dirt remains on the inner surface of the door or the circumferential surface of the drum after washing, the user may mistakenly think that the washing of the clothes has not been completed or suspect that the clothes treatment device is not clean. problem with malfunction

[0010] In addition, the conventional clothes treatment device does not need to minimize the volume, therefore, the outer tub is relatively high and the washing water cannot be stored on the outer tub, even if foam is generated, there is no need to worry about the foam sticking to the door

[0011] In addition, there is a problem that the washing performance is degraded due to foam or foreign matter generated during the washing of the clothes remaining on the door and re-sticking to the washed clothes.

[0012] In addition, conventional clothes processing devices have the cumbersome point of setting separate components and channels to remove foreign matter and foam on the door.

[0013] Moreover, the conventional clothes treatment device has the problem that the above-mentioned flow path is damaged due to the excessive pressure of the washing water flowing in the above-mentioned separate flow path, and water leakage or backflow of the wash water occurs.

[0014] In addition, the conventional laundry treatment device cannot prevent the foam generated inside the drum in advance.
