WASHING MACHINE FOR PREVENTING BLOCKING OF DRAIN HOSE AND RESTRICTING WRINKLED TUBE FROM DROOPING BY SUPPORTING RIBS IN WRINKLED TUBE

摘要

PURPOSE: A washing machine is provided to prevent blocking of a drain hose, and to restrict a wrinkled tube from drooping by forming supporting ribs in the upper and lower parts of the wrinkled tube. CONSTITUTION: A drain apparatus is formed in the upper part of a body of a washing machine to drain washing water from a fixed drum after washing, and is composed of a drain pump for pumping washing water to the fixed drum and a drain hose(32) draining washing water out of the body. A wrinkled tube(33) is formed in the middle of the drain hose to modify the installation direction by bending the drain hose corresponding to the installation position of the washing machine and the sewer. Plural wrinkles(33a) are formed in the outer periphery of the wrinkled tube, and supporting ribs(33b) are formed in the upper and lower parts of the wrinkled tube to prevent drooping of the wrinkled tube by restricting bending.
