摘要

Provided is a washing machine. The washing machine includes a tub, a drum, a pulsator, a water stream generation unit, a filter cap, and a check valve. The tub contains washing water. The drum is rotatably disposed in the tub and receiving laundry. The pulsator is rotatably disposed inside the drum and has a spouting outlet. The water stream generation unit is disposed under the pulsator and forms a water stream spouted through the spouting outlet by circulating washing water contained between the tub and the drum. The filter cap collects foreign substances floating in washing water spouted through the spouting outlet. The check valve opens the spouting outlet by the water stream formed by the water stream generation unit.

主权项

1. A washing machine comprising:
a tub to contain washing water; a drum rotatably disposed in the tub; a pulsator rotatably disposed inside the drum and including a spouting outlet; a centrifugal blade unit rotatably disposed under the pulsator to spout the washing water introduced between the tub and the drum by a centrifugal force; a guide unit disposed independently of the rotation of the centrifugal blade unit to guide washing water spouted by the centrifugal blade unit to the spouting outlet of the pulsator; and a filter cap to collect foreign substances floating in the washing water spouted through the spouting outlet, wherein the centrifugal blade unit comprises:
a lower surface part having an inlet formed therein, the inlet receives washing water between the tub and the drum;a plurality of rotational blades disposed on the lower surface and extending along a radial direction; andan upper surface part covering an upper side of the blades except an opening between the plurality of blades adjacent to each other to spout the washing water, and wherein the guide unit comprises:
a body disposed at an upper side of the centrifugal blade unit and having a discharge port communicating with the spouting outlet of the pulsator; anda plurality of guide blades protruding from the body and guiding washing water spouted through the opening of the centrifugal blade unit to the discharge port.
