Washing machine

Abstract

Provided is a washing machine. A baffle of the washing machine, which serves as a balancer, includes: a partition portion for suppressing a flow of adjusted water that is injected from a top end side by a water injection device toward a base end side so that the adjusted water retains at the top end side; and an outlet portion for discharging the injected adjusted water from the base end side of a washing drum.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A washing machine, comprising:
 a washing tub having a driving device provided at a base end side thereof and opened at a top end side thereof;   a plurality of hollow balancers provided at an inner circumferential surface of the washing tub along a direction of an axis of the washing tub; and   a water injection device for injecting adjusted water into each of the plurality of hollow balancers individually,   wherein the each of the plurality of hollow balancers comprises:   a partition portion capable of retaining the adjusted water at the top end side by suppressing a flow of the adjusted water injected from the top end side of the washing tub by the water injection device toward the base end side, and   an outlet portion capable of discharging the injected adjusted water from the base end side of the washing tub.   
     
     
         2 . The washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the each of the plurality of hollow balancers is a baffle capable of agitating laundry. 
     
     
         3 . The washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the washing tub comprises: a drum extending along the direction of the axis in a substantially horizontal manner or in an inclined manner with an angle close to a horizontal direction and rotatably supported around the axis, and
 wherein the partition portion comprises: an inclined surface that is inclined so as to gradually come close to a rotation center of the drum from the top end side to the base end side of the washing tub.   
     
     
         4 . The washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the washing tub includes: a drum extending along the direction of the axis in a substantially horizontal manner or in an inclined manner with an angle close to a horizontal direction and rotatably supported around the axis, and
 wherein the partition portion is a partition rising wall that is used for separating a priority reservoir region erected inward from an outer wall surface of the each of the plurality of hollow balancers and provided at the top end side for storing the adjusted water and a discharge promotion region that passes through the outlet portion from the priority reservoir region and provided at the base end side for discharging the adjusted water.   
     
     
         5 . The washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the direction of the axis of the washing tub extends in a substantially vertical direction,
 wherein the partition portion has a bottom surface for storage that protrudes from an inner wall surface of each of the plurality of hollow balancers and is capable of suppressing downward falling of the adjusted water, and   wherein the outlet portion has an opening through which the adjusted water can be dropped downward from the bottom surface for storage.   
     
     
         6 . The washing machine according to  claim 2 , wherein the washing tub comprises:
 a drum extending along the direction of the axis in a substantially horizontal manner or in an inclined manner with an angle close to a horizontal direction and rotatably supported around the axis, and   wherein the partition portion comprises: an inclined surface that is inclined so as to gradually come close to a rotation center of the drum from the top end side to the base end side of the washing tub.   
     
     
         7 . The washing machine according to  claim 2 , wherein the washing tub includes: a drum extending along the direction of the axis in a substantially horizontal manner or in an inclined manner with an angle close to a horizontal direction and rotatably supported around the axis, and
 wherein the partition portion is a partition rising wall that is used for separating a priority reservoir region erected inward from an outer wall surface of the each of the plurality of hollow balancers and provided at the top end side for storing the adjusted water and a discharge promotion region that passes through the outlet portion from the priority reservoir region and provided at the base end side for discharging the adjusted water.   
     
     
         8 . The washing machine according to  claim 2 , wherein the direction of the axis of the washing tub extends in a substantially vertical direction,
 wherein the partition portion has a bottom surface for storage that protrudes from an inner wall surface of each of the plurality of hollow balancers and is capable of suppressing downward falling of the adjusted water, and   wherein the outlet portion has an opening through which the adjusted water can be dropped downward from the bottom surface for storage.
