Detergent supplying apparatus of clothes washing machine

Abstract

A detergent supplying apparatus in which bleach or rinse is not supplied by mistake is disclosed. In order to directly discharge water remaining in a siphon cap after siphonage, concave steps are formed in the lower side of a siphon cap to form a passage between the siphon cap and the bottom of liquid detergent storing chamber. The detergent supplying apparatus includes a siphon cover having a plurality of siphon caps and a rib extended from the siphon caps by a predetermined length so that incorrect-coupling of the siphon caps is prevented.

1 . A detergent supplying apparatus of a clothes washing machine including a detergent reservoir with a liquid detergent storing chamber for storing a liquid detergent, comprising: 
 a siphon pipe provided in the liquid detergent storing chamber and having a predetermined height;    a siphon cap for covering the siphon pipe and having at least one concave step; and    a passage formed between the concave step and the bottom of the liquid detergent storing chamber and communicating the inside with the outside of the siphon cap.    
   
   
       2 . The detergent supplying apparatus of a clothes washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the minimal number of concave steps is two and the concave steps are spaced apart from each other.  
   
   
       3 . The detergent supplying apparatus of a clothes washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein a height difference between the uppermost end of the concave step and the lowermost end of the siphon cap is 2 mm to 7 mm.  
   
   
       4 . The detergent supplying apparatus of a clothes washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the bottom of the liquid detergent storing chamber has a concave step formed in the part adjacent to the lower outer circumference of the siphon cap.  
   
   
       5 . A detergent supplying apparatus of a clothes washing machine comprising: 
 a detergent reservoir housing;    a detergent reservoir provided in the detergent reservoir housing and having a plurality of liquid detergent storing chambers partitioned by a partition;    siphon pipes provided in the liquid detergent storing chambers;    a siphon cover including a plurality of siphon caps coupled with the siphon pipes to perform siphonage; and    a rib formed in the siphon caps and extended by a predetermined length to prevent incorrect-coupling of the siphon caps.    
   
   
       6 . The detergent supplying apparatus of a clothes washing machine according to  claim 5 , wherein the siphon caps further include an extending part extended from a side thereof by a predetermined length, and the rib is formed in the extending part.  
   
   
       7 . The detergent supplying apparatus of a clothes washing machine according to  claim 5 , further comprising a level indicator formed in the outer circumference of the siphon cap to indicate a proper supplying quantity of the detergent.  
   
   
       8 . The detergent supplying apparatus of a clothes washing machine according to  claim 5 , wherein in the lower ends of the siphon caps, at least one concave step is formed.  
   
   
       9 . The detergent supplying apparatus of a clothes washing machine according to  claim 5 , wherein in the bottom of the liquid detergent storing chambers, a concave step is formed in the part adjacent to the outer circumferences of the siphon caps.  
   
   
       10 . The detergent supplying apparatus of a clothes washing machine according to  claim 9 , wherein a height difference between the uppermost end of the concave step and the lowermost end of the siphon cap is 2 mm to 7 mm.
