- the action of lifting the laundry by the triangular pyramid-shaped auxiliary baffle 23 is smaller than that of the main baffle 20--22 because the laundry contains water and is heavy, but the auxiliary baffle 23 causes the rotating tub 14 to rotate.
- the laundry located at both ends in the axial direction can be moved to the vicinity of the main baffle 20-22.
- the laundry located at both ends in the axial direction of the rotating tub 14 is moved by the auxiliary baffle 23 to the vicinity of the main baffles 20 to 22 so that a mechanical force is applied (push washing), so that the washing performance is improved.
- the control microcomputer drives the drainage device to discharge the water in the water tank 10, it drives the motor to rotate the rotary tank 14 in one direction at a low speed of about 40 rpm.
- the laundry that has become heavy and contains a large amount of water at the end of drainage is located in the lower part of the rotating tub 14.

As a result, water contained in the laundry is removed to some extent.
- control microcomputer drives the motor to rotate the rotating tank 14 in one direction at a rotation speed of about 60 to 80 rpm.
- the laundry in the rotating tub 14 is moved in the rotating tub 14 by the main baffles 20-22 and the auxiliary knotles 23, and is uniformly attached to the entire peripheral wall.
- the laundry located near the center in the axial direction in the rotating tub 14 is a force that is lifted by the main baffles 20 to 22.
- the laundry sticks to the peripheral wall and falls due to the magnitude of the centrifugal force acting on the laundry.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the centrifugal force acting on the laundry S in the rotating tub 14.

- the distance rl between the center of gravity of the laundry item S1 located at the outer peripheral portion and the rotation center axis O is rl
- the distance between the center of gravity of the laundry S2 located and the rotation center axis O is larger than r2 (rl> r2). Therefore, the centrifugal force acting on the laundry S1 is larger than the centrifugal force acting on the laundry S2.
- the laundry located on both sides in the axial direction of the rotating tub 14 is lifted by the auxiliary baffle 23 because the laundry is lightened by removing moisture.
- the auxiliary buffer 23 has a triangular pyramid shape
- the laundry is positioned near the axial center of the rotary tub 14 by the inclined surface 23a, and is rotated by the inclined surface 23b from both sides in the circumferential direction of the auxiliary noodle 23.

- the laundry collected near the center of the rotating tub in the axial direction is the main baffle 20-22 described above. It is evenly attached to the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the rotary tank 14 depending on the application.
- the laundry in the rotating tub 14 is gradually dispersed over the entire inner surface of the peripheral wall, and the imbalance is reduced.
- the amount of laundry existing near the center in the axial direction of the rotary tub 14 becomes larger than the amount of laundry existing near both ends (near the end plate).
- the control microcomputer determines that the laundry has uniformly adhered to the peripheral wall of the rotating tub 14, it drives the motor to increase the rotation speed of the rotating tub 14 to about 100 rpm.
- the determination as to whether or not the force that the laundry has uniformly adhered to the peripheral wall of the rotating tub is made, for example, by detecting a change in the rotation speed of the motor during one rotation of the rotating tub (that is, uneven rotation).
- This rotation speed (100 rpm) is set to a rotation speed at which the centrifugal force applied to all the laundry in the rotating tub 14 exceeds the gravitational acceleration. Therefore, here, the rotary tub 14 rotates with all the laundry in the rotary tub 14 adhered to the peripheral wall portion.
- the control microcomputer drives the motor to raise the rotating tank 14 to a maximum speed of 900 to 1200 rpm.

- the control microcomputer reduces the rotating speed to reduce the laundry in the rotating tub 14. To perform an operation to correct the imbalance that is causing the resonance vibration. Then, after correcting the imbalance, the rotation speed of the rotary tank 14 is increased again to the maximum speed.
- the magnitude of the vibration generated during dehydration is determined by the excitation force.
- the magnitude of the excitation force is determined by the centrifugal force applied to the laundry S and the moment of inertia around the center of gravity acting on the laundry S.
- the moment of inertia M is defined as follows, where G is a plane passing through the center of gravity of the vibration system and orthogonal to the rotation center axis O, and L is the distance from the plane G to the center of gravity of the laundry S.
- F is the centrifugal force acting on the laundry.
- the moment of inertia M is proportional to the distance r and the distance L.
- the centrifugal force F is proportional to the distance r. Therefore, it is caused by the imbalance existing near the axial center of the rotary tank 14.
- the vibration caused by the unbalance existing at both ends in the axial direction in the rotary tank 14 is smaller by J / J.
- the control microcomputer drives the motor to rotate the rotary tub 14 at low speed in the forward and reverse directions, and also drives the drying device.
- the warmed air is supplied into the rotating tub 14 to remove moisture contained in the laundry.
- the air from which moisture has been removed is dehumidified, warmed, and returned to the rotating tank 14 again.
- the laundry in the rotating tub 14 is dried by the circulation of the air.
- the rotating tub 14 when the rotating tub 14 is rotated at a low speed in the forward and reverse directions, the laundry in the rotating tub 14 is lifted by the main baffles 20-22, and is heated by the hot air flowing through the rotating tub 14. Spreads into 14 and falls. Further, the auxiliary baffle 23 moves the laundry that has spread and fallen into the rotating tub 14 to a position near the axial center of the rotating tub 14. That is, the laundry in the rotating tub 14 moves in the rotating tub 14 while being dispersed or concentrated. Therefore, the warm air flowing through the rotating tub 14 and the laundry come into efficient contact with each other, and the drying efficiency is improved.
- the laundry is agitated by the main baffle 20-22 and the auxiliary baffle 23, so that the laundry is less likely to be twisted or entangled at the end of drying. It turned out to be.
- FIG. 7 shows a drum type washing machine having a main baffle 20-22 and an auxiliary baffle 23 (indicated by P in FIG. 7) and a drum type washing machine having only the main baffle 20-22 (indicated by Q in FIG. 7).

- T ⁇ (Tl-TO) / TO ⁇ X 100
- TO and T1 represent one piece of laundry (composed of a plurality of bleached cotton fabrics) before and after the washing operation in accordance with the rhythm of the metronome. It shows the average time (seconds) required to remove all the laundry when 14 rotators were removed at a time.
- the drum-type washing machine having the auxiliary baffle 23 has a lower cloth entanglement rate than the drum-type washing machine having no auxiliary baffle 23.
- the following effects can be obtained. That is, by providing the auxiliary baffle 23 in the rotary tub 14, the laundry in the rotary tub 14 can be moved near the axial center, in other words, near the center of gravity of the vibration system during the spin-drying process. Therefore, generation of vibration and noise during the dehydration step can be suppressed. Further, the laundry located at both axial ends of the rotary tub 14 can be efficiently moved to the vicinity of the center in the axial direction by the auxiliary baffle 23, so that the operation time for correcting imbalance can be reduced. .
- the washing material moves in the rotary tank 14 while repeating dispersion and concentration by cooperation of the main baffle 20-22 and the auxiliary baffle 23.
- the main baffle 20-22 and the auxiliary baffle 23 are separated from each other, so that the main baffle 20-22 and the auxiliary baffle 23 can efficiently move the laundry in cooperation with each other. For this reason, the drying efficiency can be improved, and the cloth entanglement of the laundry can be reduced.
- the amount of screen generated on the laundry at the end of drying is smaller in the drum type washing machine having the auxiliary baffle 23 than in the drum type washing machine having no holding baffle 23. Less was observed. This is due to the small cloth entanglement rate during the drying process. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, there is also obtained an effect that the laundry can be finished in a good condition.
- FIG. 8 shows the results of an experiment performed by the inventors on the difference in the amplitude of vibration generated during dehydration depending on the presence or absence of the auxiliary baffle 23 and the size of the auxiliary baffle 23.
- the horizontal axis represents the amount of laundry (kg), and the vertical axis represents the amplitude of vibration (mm).
- broken lines P1 to P4 indicate a drum type washing machine having a main baffle 20-22 and an auxiliary baffle 23, and a broken line Q indicates a drum type washing machine having only a main baffle 20-22.
- the combinations of the lengths (HI, H2) see FIG.
- the drum type washing machine having the main baffle 20-22 and the auxiliary baffle 23 has a lower vibration than that of the drum type washing machine having only the main baffle 20-22.
- the amplitude is small.
- the amplitude of the drum type washing machine indicated by the broken line P4 that is, the drum type washing machine having the auxiliary baffle 23 according to the present embodiment, is the smallest. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the vibration generated during dehydration can be significantly reduced.
- FIGS. 9 and 10 are diagrams for examining the difference in vibration amplitude due to the difference in height of the auxiliary baffle 23 and the difference in vibration amplitude due to the difference in the axial length of the auxiliary baffle 23.
- 7 is a graph created based on the experimental results shown in FIG.
- Fig. 9 is created based on the experimental results (corresponding to the broken lines P1 and P2 in Fig. 8) of the drum type washing machine having the auxiliary baffle 23 having the same axial length (60mm) and different heights. It was done.
- the horizontal axis in Fig. 9 indicates the height (mm) of the auxiliary baffle 23, and the vertical axis indicates the amount of reduction (mm) relative to the amplitude of the drum type washing machine (corresponding to the polygonal line Q in Fig. 8) without the auxiliary baffle Is shown.
- Fig. 10 is based on the experimental results (corresponding to the broken lines P1 and P3 in Fig.
- FIG. 10 indicates the axial length (mm) of the auxiliary baffle 23, and the vertical axis indicates the reduction amount (mm) with respect to the amplitude of the drum type washing machine without the auxiliary baffle.
- the polygonal lines K1 to K4 in FIGS. 9 and 10 are created based on the data when the laundry amount is 1 kg, 3 kg, 5 kg, and 8 kg.
- the vibration reduction amount increases as the height of the auxiliary baffle 23 increases and as the length in the axial direction increases.
- the vibration reduction effect becomes significant when the vibration reduction amount exceeds 0.5 mm. Therefore, the size of the auxiliary baffle with a vibration reduction of 0.5 mm or more in at least two of the four types of laundry in the experiment was about 30 mm or more in height and about 50 mm in axial length. That is all.
- the height dimension of the auxiliary baffle affects the action of lifting the laundry, and is related to the thickness dimension of the laundry. Therefore, since the general thickness of the laundry is about 30 mm, the height of the auxiliary baffle is preferably 30 mm or more.
- the axial length dimension of the auxiliary baffle affects the action of moving the laundry located at the axial end of the rotary tub to near the center of gravity of the vibration system, and the axial length of the rotary tub. It is related to the size and the distance from the end of the rotating tank to the center of gravity of the vibration system.
- the axial direction of the auxiliary baffle 23 can provide a significant vibration reduction effect.
- the length is one-eighth or more of the axial length of the rotary tank 14, and the end plate force is one-fourth or more of the distance to the center of gravity.
- the auxiliary baffle 23 needs to be arranged in the area from the end plate of the rotary tank to the surface G (see FIG. 5) on the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the rotary tank.
- auxiliary baffles provided on both axial sides of the rotary tub may not face each other.
- auxiliary baffle need not be in contact with the end plate as long as it is provided on the peripheral wall so as to be close to the end plate of the rotary tank.
- the laundry in the rotating tub is turned only at the front of the peripheral wall of the rotating tub in order to bias the laundry in the rotating tub toward the back (rear). It is preferable to provide an auxiliary baffle close to the front end plate of the transfer tank.
- the pair of auxiliary baffles facing in the axial direction have different axial lengths. That is, when the center of gravity is located on one side of the axial center of the rotary tank, the auxiliary baffle disposed on one side in the axial direction of the peripheral wall portion is longer than the auxiliary baffle disposed on the other side in the axial direction. It is better to reduce the size.
- each auxiliary baffle must be located in the area between the plane G passing through the center of gravity and the end plate.
- the auxiliary baffle may be formed by press-molding a peripheral wall portion or an end plate of the rotary tank. According to the above configuration, the auxiliary baffle and the rotary tub can be integrally formed, and the number of assembling steps can be reduced.
- the auxiliary baffle is not limited to a triangular pyramid shape, and may be, for example, a semi-conical shape.
- the present invention can also be applied to a drum type washing machine having a laundry entrance at the front.
- an auxiliary baffle which is close to the front end plate of the rotary tub may be provided only at the front of the peripheral wall of the rotary tub.
- the rotating tank having an opening on the front rotates around a rotating shaft provided at the rear. For this reason, when the laundry is collected at the front part in the rotating tub, the vibration of the rotating tub increases and a large moment is applied to the rotating shaft and the bearing.
- the auxiliary baffle is provided at the front of the peripheral wall of the rotating tub, it is possible to prevent the laundry from being concentrated on the front of the rotating tub, thereby suppressing the occurrence of vibration.
- the drum type washing machine according to the present invention can suppress the occurrence of vibration, and is therefore useful as a general household washing machine used in a quiet environment.
