Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2679717A1] An air trap 74 is integrated with a water tank 42 in a side wall part of an outer periphery on the rear side of a bottom of the water tank 42, and has an opening 88 on the lower side, a water level detection tube 87 integrally formed on the one end side of a drainage tube 64 which is connected to a drainage port 85 formed in the bottom of the water tank 42 communicates with the air trap 74 at the opening 88, the drainage tube 64 is connected to a case connection port 89 of a filter case 83, and the air trap 74, the water level detection tube 87, the drainage port 85, the drainage tube 64, and the case connection port 89 are substantially horizontally arranged. Thus, a drainage water flow is straightened and foreign substances such as lint contained in washing water do not easily flow into the air trap 74, so that a water level in the water tank 42 is stabilized.
