Washing machine

Abstract

A washing machine which ensures good cleaning performance and drying performance, prevents the rotational unbalance of a washing tank during drying, and is easy to use. The washing machine comprises a housing (1), a washing tank disposed in a water tank (2), an inclining means for inclining the washing tank with an inclining supporting point (20a) as a supporting point, and a control means, the inclining angle of the washing tank being able to be changed according to the steps of charging clothes through taking out washed and dehydrated clothes. For example, a mechanism is provided that allows the clothes to be washed with the washing tank inclined, to be dehydrated with the washing tank erected, and to be taken out with the washing tank inclined. In addition, the volume of charged clothes is detected, and, based on the result of the detection, an inclination angle during a washing step is determined or a washing step is carried out in an erected state. Further, an inclination angle is changed during a washing step for stepwise inclining or for continuous reciprocating inclining.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a washing machine, in particular to a pulsator type washing machine. Background technique [0002] Washing machines are generally roughly classified into a pulsator type and a drum type. The pulsator type is to rotate the pulsator arranged in the washing tank, and through this rotation, "circulating water flow" is generated, and stains are removed through mechanical action such as friction or vibration and chemical action of detergent. When dehydrating the washed clothes, Rotate the washing tank (equipped with a pulsator) to utilize centrifugal force. And, when the dehydrated clothes are dried, the pulsator or the washing tub itself is rotated while blowing hot air into the washing tub. [0003] On the other hand, the drum type is to rotate a drum (equivalent to a washing tank) with a rotating shaft in the horizontal direction, and use the mechanical action when the laundry falls in the drum due to the rotation and th...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in conventional pulsator-type washing tanks, the rotation axis is perpendicular to the bottom surface (vertical direction), the rotation surface is parallel to the bottom surface (horizontal direction), and the pulsator (or the washing tank itself) performs washing while forward or reverse rotation. net

Therefore, the water flow generated by the pulsator is concentrated in the central part, causing the cloths to become entangled with each other, or it is difficult to form a vertical flow and movement, resulting in ineffective washing, resulting in low washing capacity.
