Drum type washing machine

Abstract

This invention relates to a drum type washing machine having a high lint collecting performance and eliminating any possibility of water leakage, which is provided with: a water receiving tub 12 rotatably incorporating and supporting a rotary drum 11, which is so installed in a box-type outer frame 1 as to upward incline the direction of the rotation central axis of the rotary drum of the front side; a circulating pump 16 set below the water receiving tub and generating washing circulation water formed by sucking wash water accumulated in the water receiving tub from the lower part in the rear side end of the water receiving tub and inpouring it to the inside of the rotary drum; and a lint catching means 5 for catching the lint from the washing circulation water, positioned above the water receiving tub and attached to the outer frame in such a manner as being exposed to the front face of the outer frame.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a drum type washing machine. Background technique [0002] Basically, as disclosed in Patent Document 1 - Japanese Utility Laid-Open No. 61-143586 and Patent Document 2 - Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 11-114285, there is a clothes inlet and outlet on the front end surface, and a rotation center A rotary drum with a horizontal shaft rotating, a water tank rotatably containing and supporting the rotary drum, sucking out washing water accumulated in the water tank and flowing it into the rotary drum to generate washing circulation water A circulating pump, a lint catch mechanism for catching lint (flannel) from the washing circulating water. [0003] Moreover, as a modified drum type washing machine, as disclosed in Patent Document 3-Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-9188, Patent Document 4-Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-105267, and Patent Document 5-Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-201775 The disclosed techno...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] This type of drum type washing machine has less washing water in the washing process, and the amount of water immersed in the laundry is also small, so it is difficult for the lint in the cloth from the laundry to flow out into the washing water in the washing process. There is also a problem that the collection of lint cannot be sufficiently achieved, and the amount of residual lint attached to the laundry increases

[0006] Furthermore, since the lint trapping mechanism is located below the water tank, there is the inconvenience that the lint trap filter cannot be removed for cleaning when washing water remains in the water tank.

In addition, when water droplets remain in the filter chamber of the lint trap mechanism, there is a problem of water leakage when the lint trap filter is removed, and the installation of the lint trap filter is troublesome.
