(Water injection device, detergent case)
Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the periphery of an upper housing of the washing machine of embodiment 1.
As shown in fig. 2, a detergent box housing portion 12 is formed at a rear upper portion of the upper housing 2, and the detergent box 9 is detachably housed in the detergent box housing portion 12. A water injection device 11 is provided above the detergent box 9, and the water injection device 11 introduces tap water through the water supply valve 80 and injects water into the detergent box 9 housed in the detergent box housing portion 12. The water injected into the detergent box 9 from the water injector 11 passes through the inside of the detergent box 9, is discharged into the detergent box housing 12, and is injected into the water tank 4.
The detergent box 9 is formed in a box shape opened upward. A grip portion 9d configured to be gripped by a user is provided on the front side of the detergent box 9. The grip portion 9d is formed to be flush with the laundry inlet 2a formed in the upper case 2 in a state where the detergent box 9 is housed in the detergent box housing portion 12.
The inside of the detergent box 9 is formed with: a washing powder input part 9a for inputting washing powder; a laundry detergent input part 9b for inputting laundry detergent; and a softener input part 9c into which the softener is input. A silver crystal unit housing 16 to which the silver crystal unit 15 is detachably attached is formed behind the softener feeding portion 9 c. The silver crystal unit 15 and the silver crystal unit housing portion 16 will be described later.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the periphery of a detergent box of the washing machine of embodiment 1. Fig. 4A is a plan view of a water filler cover of the washing machine of embodiment 1. Fig. 4B is a plan view of a water filling structure of the washing machine according to embodiment 1. Fig. 4C is a plan view of a detergent box of the washing machine of embodiment 1.
As shown in fig. 3, 4A, and 4B, the water injection device 11 includes a water injection device cover 11a as an upper surface and a water injection structure 11B as a lower surface. The water filling device cover 11a is provided with a water supply port 8a for a detergent input portion connected to a 1 st water supply valve 81 (see fig. 2), a water supply port 8b for a detergent input portion, and a water supply port 8c for a softener input portion connected to a 2 nd water supply valve 82 (see fig. 2) as water supply ports for introducing water from the water supply valve 80. The water introduced from each water supply port flows down to the water injection structure 11 b.
The water injection structure 11b is formed in a box shape, and divides the inside into small chambers so as to correspond to the detergent input part 9a, the laundry detergent input part 9b or the softener input part 9c, and the silver crystal unit housing part 16. The cells corresponding to the softener input portion 9c and the silver crystal unit housing portion 16 are common cells. In each of the cells, a plurality of nozzles are formed to communicate with the lower side and drop water into the detergent box 9. In each cell, a detergent nozzle 13a, a detergent nozzle 13b, a softener nozzle 14, and a silver crystal nozzle 10 are provided corresponding to the detergent input part 9a, the detergent input part 9b, the softener input part 9c, and the silver crystal unit housing part 16, respectively. Thus, the water injection structure 11b can independently supply water to the detergent input part 9a, the laundry detergent input part 9b, the softener input part 9c, and the silver crystal unit housing part 16.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4B, the inside of water supply valve 80 (see fig. 2) and the respective cells are formed as wide water passages. On the other hand, the detergent nozzle 13, the softener nozzle 14, and the silver crystal nozzle 10 are formed as small-diameter holes. According to this configuration, the flow velocity is increased by the venturi effect when passing through each nozzle, and therefore the momentum of the water falling into the detergent box 9 can be increased.
The silver crystal nozzle 10 includes a 1 st nozzle 10a having a large diameter and a 2 nd nozzle 10b having a small diameter. The 1 st nozzle 10a and the 2 nd nozzle 10b are arranged on a straight line in the front-rear direction.
As shown in fig. 4C, a detergent discharge port 30a opened downward is provided at the center of the detergent input portion 9a, and detergent water containing dissolved detergent is discharged downward.
A siphon structure 30b is provided in the laundry detergent input portion 9b and the softener input portion 9 c. When the liquid stored in the siphon structure 30b reaches a predetermined liquid level, the liquid is sucked by the siphon phenomenon and discharged downward. That is, when a predetermined amount of water is supplied from the nozzle, the laundry detergent or softener dissolved in the water is conveyed downward by the siphon structure 30b and discharged to the detergent box housing 12.
A silver crystal unit housing part outlet 30c is formed in the inner bottom of the silver crystal unit housing part 16, and discharges water discharged from the silver crystal unit 15 downward.
(silver Crystal Unit storage part)
Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the periphery of the silver crystal unit housing part of the washing machine according to embodiment 1. Fig. 6A is an external perspective view showing the periphery of the silver crystal unit housing section in a state where the silver crystal unit is detached in the washing machine according to embodiment 1. Fig. 6B is an external perspective view showing the periphery of the silver crystal unit housing section in the state where the silver crystal unit is attached to the washing machine according to embodiment 1.
As shown in fig. 5, 6A, and 6B, the silver crystal unit housing 16 is formed in a substantially box shape, and is configured to be able to attach and detach the silver crystal unit 15.
A plurality of inclined ribs 16c are formed on the inner peripheral wall of the silver crystal unit housing 16 so as to extend vertically. The inclined rib 16c is formed to protrude downward, and smoothly guides the silver crystal unit 15 when the silver crystal unit 15 is inserted downward. In a state where the silver crystal unit 15 is completely inserted into the silver crystal unit housing portion 16, the end surface of the inclined rib 16c in the vertical direction abuts against the silver crystal unit 15. Thereby, the silver crystal unit 15 is held by the silver crystal unit housing 16, and does not fall down even when the detergent box 9 is turned upside down.
The silver crystal unit 15 is provided with a hinge 22 described later, and the silver crystal unit housing portion 16 is provided with a silver crystal unit housing portion side claw 16 b. The hinge portion 22 functions as a hinge structure and is configured to be engageable with the silver crystal unit accommodating portion side claws 16 b. When the user inserts the silver crystal unit 15 into the silver crystal unit housing 16, the hinge 22 engages with the silver crystal unit housing side pawl 16 b. Thereby, the silver crystal unit 15 is mounted in the silver crystal unit housing 16.
The holding of the silver crystal unit 15 by the inclined rib 16c and the mounting of the silver crystal unit 15 by the hinge portion 22 may be performed by either one of the above-described methods or by both of them.
The silver crystal unit 15 is configured to have a screw boss portion 23 (described later) protruding from one side surface, and the overall shape thereof is not point-symmetrical. The silver crystal unit housing 16 has a notch 16a formed at a position facing the screw boss portion 23 so as not to interfere with the screw boss portion 23. The screw boss 23 is inserted into the notch 16a, whereby the silver crystal unit 15 is positioned at a correct housing position, which is a positive position (described later) with respect to the silver crystal unit housing 16. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the user from mounting the silver crystal unit 15 in the wrong direction. Further, the positioning structure provided in the silver crystal unit 15 may not be the screw boss portion 23.
(silver crystal unit)
Fig. 7A is an external perspective view of the storage box of the washing machine according to embodiment 1 with the storage box lid closed. Fig. 7B is an external perspective view of the storage box of the washing machine according to embodiment 1 with the lid open.
The silver crystal unit 15 mainly includes a silver crystal 29 (described later), a storage case 18 for storing the silver crystal 29, and a storage case cover 19.
The silver crystal 29 is composed of a material in which a silver component having an antibacterial action is mixed with water-soluble boron trioxide (B2O3), and is formed into a plurality of granular small pieces. The silver crystals 29 are formed into a granular shape, so that the surface area is large and the silver crystals are easily dissolved in water. The silver crystals 29 are eluted by immersion in water, thereby releasing antibacterial silver ions into the water. Thus, the silver crystal 29 functions as an auxiliary agent for generating silver ion water and exerting an antibacterial action on the laundry.
The storage case 18 is formed in a box shape with an upper opening, and the upper side thereof is covered with a storage case lid 19. The storage box cover 19 is connected to the storage box 18 by a hinge portion 22 configured to be bendable.
A fitting claw projection 25 is provided on the outer side of the side surface of the storage box cover 19. On the other hand, fitting claw recesses 26 are provided at positions facing the fitting claw protrusions 25 on the inner side of the side surface near the opening of the housing case 18. According to the above configuration, in a state where the storage box cover 19 is closed, the fitting claw convex portion 25 and the fitting claw concave portion 26 are engaged with each other, and the storage box cover 19 is temporarily fixed to the storage box 18.
The storage box cover 19 is disposed to project laterally and has a screw boss portion 23 extending downward. The screw boss portion 23 and the screw seat portion 24 are disposed on opposite sides of the hinge portion 22. The screw boss portion 23 is formed with a screw hole 23a for screwing from below. The storage box cover 19 is screwed to the screw receiving portion 24 and the screw boss portion 23 by the screw 24a in a state of being temporarily fixed to the storage box 18.
In this way, in the state where the storage box cover 19 is closed, the fitting claw convex portion 25 and the fitting claw concave portion 26 are engaged with each other and temporarily fixed, and therefore, when the screw 24a is screwed into the screw hole 23a of the screw boss portion 23, the storage box cover 19 can be prevented from being opened naturally. Therefore, the workability when the silver crystal 29 is sealed in the storage case 18 is good.
Fig. 8A is a plan view of the storage box of the washing machine according to embodiment 1. Fig. 8B is a cross-sectional view 8B-8B of fig. 8A. Fig. 8C is a cross-sectional view 8C-8C of fig. 8A. Fig. 9A is a plan view of the silver crystal unit of the washing machine of embodiment 1. Fig. 9B is a bottom view of the silver crystal unit of the washing machine of embodiment 1. Fig. 9C is a cross-sectional view of 9C-9C of fig. 9A.
The housing box cover 19 is provided with a 1 st opening 20 for introducing water into the silver crystal unit 15, and a 2 nd opening 21 for discharging water is provided in a housing box bottom surface 28 which is a bottom surface of the housing box 18. Thereby, the silver crystal unit 15 discharges silver ionized water generated by immersing the introduced water in the silver crystal 29 downward from the 2 nd opening 21.
The 2 nd opening 21 is arranged so as not to be located vertically below the 1 st opening 20 and is configured to have an opening area larger than that of the 1 st opening 20. The 1 st opening 20 is disposed on the end side of the substantially central portion of the storage box cover 19, and partially overlaps the 2 nd opening 21.
The storage case bottom surface 28 of the storage case 18 is formed to be inclined downward. This causes the silver crystals 29 in the interior to move downward due to their own weight, and to easily stay in the inclined lower portion.
As shown in fig. 9C, the 1 st opening 20 and the 2 nd opening 21 are integrally formed with the water passage member 27 by insert molding so that the water passage member 27 covers the opening portions thereof. The water passage member 27 is made of a material different from the storage case 18, and is formed in a grid shape so that the grid is about 100 meshes. Thereby, the water passage member 27 allows water to pass therethrough and prevents the silver crystals 29 having a size equal to or larger than a certain size from passing therethrough. In addition, the silver crystals 29 gradually become smaller as they dissolve in water, and the particles of the silver crystals 29 dissolved to the size passing through the mesh of the water passage member 27 are not observed by the user.
The operation and action of the washing machine and silver ion elution device configured as described above will be described below.
(washing operation)
The user opens the lid 6, puts laundry into the washing and dehydrating tub 3, operates the operation display unit 31 to set the operation contents, and causes the control device 7 to start the washing operation. The user puts washing powder or laundry detergent in an amount corresponding to the amount of laundry into the detergent box 9.
When the washing step starts, the controller 7 opens the 1 st water supply valve 81, and introduces water into the water injector 11 through the water supply opening 8a for the detergent input part and the water supply opening 8b for the laundry detergent input part, and the water injector 11 injects water into the detergent input part 9a and the laundry detergent input part 9b through the detergent nozzle 13a and the laundry detergent nozzle 13b of the detergent nozzle 13. The detergent in the detergent box 9 is dissolved in water, discharged into the detergent box housing 12, and introduced into the water tank 4 and the washing and dewatering tub 3 together with the water. After supplying a predetermined amount of water, the controller 7 closes the 1 st water supply valve 81, and agitates the laundry stored in the washing and dehydrating tub 3 by the pulsator 5, thereby performing washing and agitation. When the washing process is completed, the rinsing process is started.
When the rinsing process is started, an initial rinsing operation is started. Further, the initial rinsing operation may be performed plural times. In the initial rinsing operation, the 1 st water feed valve 81 is opened to supply water to the empty detergent input part 9a and the empty detergent input part 9b, and water containing no softener and no silver ions is supplied to the water tank 4 and the washing and dehydrating tank 3. Next, agitation of the laundry by the pulsator 5 is started, and the detergent components attached to the laundry are washed away.
In order to supply water to the softener feeding part 9c and the silver crystal unit housing part 16 by the water injector 11, the controller 7 opens the 2 nd water supply valve 82 to supply water to the softener nozzle 14 and the silver crystal nozzle 10. The water discharged downward from the softener nozzle 14 dissolves the softener introduced into the softener introduction portion 9c, and is transported by the siphon structure 30b and discharged to the detergent box storage portion 12. The water discharged downward from the silver crystal nozzle 10 passes through the silver crystal unit 15 as silver ion water as described later, and is discharged to the detergent box housing 12. The water containing the softener and the silver ions discharged into the detergent box storage unit 12 is introduced into the water tank 4 and the washing and dewatering tank 3. Next, the pulsator 5 starts to agitate the laundry, so that the softener and the silver ions are attached to the laundry. The final rinsing action is finished and the rinsing process is completed.
Since silver ions are cations, they have a property of easily adhering to general clothing including a molecular structure of negative polarization. However, when silver ions are simultaneously input to a detergent containing an anionic surfactant, interaction occurs between the silver ions and the anionic surfactant, and thus the amount of silver ions attached to laundry is reduced.
On the other hand, when the softener containing the cationic surfactant is added simultaneously with silver ions as in the present embodiment, a synergistic effect is exhibited, and the fabric can be firmly attached to clothes. Therefore, the water injector 11 supplies water to the softener feeding part 9c and the silver crystal unit housing part 16, whereby the antibacterial action of silver ions can be obtained efficiently.
(action around silver Crystal Unit)
Fig. 10 is a schematic view showing water flows into the silver crystal unit in a vertical cross section around the detergent box of the washing machine according to embodiment 1. Fig. 11 is a schematic view showing a flow of water flowing into the silver crystal unit in a cross section around the detergent box of the washing machine according to embodiment 1.
When the 2 nd water supply valve 82 is opened, water is introduced into the water filling device 11. The water introduced into the water injector 11 is discharged downward from the 1 st nozzle 10a and the 2 nd nozzle 10b as the silver crystal nozzle 10, and is supplied to the silver crystal unit 15 through the water passage member 27.
As shown in fig. 11, the silver crystal nozzle 10 is formed as a hole having a small diameter. Generally, the water released from the holes gradually widens in width as it goes away from the holes.
The silver crystal unit 15 is configured such that the distance between the water passage member 27 and the silver crystal nozzle 10 is short (about 5 mm). Thus, the water discharged from the silver crystal nozzle 10 reaches the water passage member 27 before the width of the water flow becomes wider. The water flow having a narrow width can be efficiently supplied into the silver crystal unit 15 through the fine mesh of the water passage member 27 without colliding with the water passage member 27 and splashing around.
As shown in fig. 10, the water injected from the 1 st nozzle 10a having a large diameter and the 2 nd nozzle 10b having a small diameter collides with the silver crystals 29 in the storage case 18 to be turbulent, and wets the silver crystals 29 without fail to be silver ion water. In this way, the silver crystals 29 are uniformly immersed in water every time water is injected, and therefore, the concentration of silver ion water can be kept constant in each washing operation.
As shown in fig. 11, the silver crystals 29 are moved inside the storage case 18 by the water flow. Thereby, the silver crystals 29 come into contact with water without any loss, and rub against other particles of the silver crystals 29 or the inner wall of the storage case 18, thereby being dissolved in water quickly. In this way, the storage case 18 is filled with the granular silver crystals 29 with gaps between the silver crystals 29, and the silver crystals 29 are thereby impregnated with water without any loss.
The water introduced into the silver crystal unit 15 from the 1 st opening 20 does not fall straight, but flows around the inside of the storage case 18 and reaches the 2 nd opening 21. By disposing the 2 nd opening 21 so as not to be located vertically below the 1 st opening 20 in this way, the silver crystals 29 and water can be brought into contact over a distance longer than the longitudinal dimension of the storage case 18. This action allows water to contact the entire silver crystal 29 without any problem, and therefore, silver ion water having a high concentration can be stably generated in each washing operation.
As shown in fig. 11, silver ionized water generated in the silver crystal unit 15 is discharged from the second opening 21. In the present embodiment, the 2 nd opening 21 is provided larger than the 1 st opening 20, thereby suppressing the supply of water from exceeding the drainage amount and the overflow of water from the upper portion of the silver crystal unit 15.
(reduction of silver Crystal, replacement of silver Crystal Unit)
Fig. 12A is a 12A-12A cross-sectional view of fig. 9A in a state where the silver crystals of the silver crystal unit of the washing machine of embodiment 1 are emphasized. Fig. 12B is a cross-sectional view of fig. 9A taken along line 12B-12B in a state where a small amount of silver crystals remain in the silver crystal unit of the washing machine of embodiment 1.
Since the silver crystals 29 are water-soluble, they are gradually reduced each time the washing operation is performed. As shown in fig. 12A and 12B, since the storage case bottom surface 28 of the storage case 18 is inclined, a small amount of silver crystals 29 remaining are likely to be accumulated in the inclined lower portion. Further, as shown in fig. 10, the storage case bottom surface 28 of the storage case 18 is inclined upward and downward in the direction in which the 1 st nozzle 10a having a large amount of discharged water is disposed, and therefore, the remaining small amount of silver crystals 29 can be efficiently dissolved in water.
As the dissolution of silver ions proceeds, the amount of silver crystals 29 gradually decreases, and when the amount of silver crystals 29 decreases to a certain level or less, the antibacterial effect on laundry is also reduced. Accordingly, the user can maintain the antibacterial performance of the washing machine by replacing the silver crystal unit 15 with a new one at an appropriate timing.
The amount of reduction of the silver crystals 29 correlates with the number of times of execution of the washing operation, and therefore the replacement recommended number of times of washing of the silver crystal unit 15 is found by experiment. In the washing machine of the present embodiment, the control device 7 measures the number of times of execution of the washing operation, and when the number of times of execution reaches the replacement recommended number of times of washing, blinks an LED (not shown) of the operation display unit 31. Thus, the user can confirm the remaining amount of the silver crystals 29 without observing the inside of the silver crystal unit 15, and therefore, it is not necessary to provide a window configured to be able to visually recognize the inside of the silver crystal unit 15.
In addition, the remaining usable number of times of the silver crystal unit 15 may be notified in the operation display portion 31. Thus, the user can grasp the replacement timing of the silver crystal unit 15 at an early stage, and can prepare the silver crystal unit 15 for replacement in advance.
(action, etc.)
As described above, the silver crystal unit 15 of the present embodiment is configured to enclose the water-soluble silver crystal 29 and to be attachable to a washing machine, and includes: a 1 st opening 20 for introducing water into the silver crystal unit 15; and a 2 nd opening 21 for discharging water in the silver crystal unit 15, wherein a water passage member 27 formed in a mesh shape is provided in the 1 st opening 20 and/or the 2 nd opening 21.
With this configuration, water can be passed through the silver crystal unit 15, and leakage of the silver crystals 29 having a small particle size from the second opening 21 can be suppressed.
Therefore, since the silver crystal 29 having small particles which are easily dissolved in water can be used, silver ion water having a constant concentration can be stably generated in each washing operation.
As in the present embodiment, the 2 nd opening 21 may not face the 1 st opening 20.
With this configuration, the water introduced from the 1 st opening 20 is discharged from the 2 nd opening over a long distance without passing through the silver crystal unit 15, and the water can permeate the entire silver crystal 29 without fail.
Therefore, the concentration of silver ions can be kept substantially constant in each washing operation, and therefore, the antibacterial action can be stably obtained.
As in the present embodiment, in the direction in which the silver crystal unit 15 is attached to the washing machine, the 1 st opening 20 may be provided on the upper surface of the silver crystal unit 15, the 2 nd opening 21 may be provided on the lower surface of the silver crystal unit 15, and the 2 nd opening 21 may be disposed so as to partially overlap a position where the 1 st opening 20 is projected downward.
According to this structure, even when the area of the upper surface and the area of the lower surface of the silver crystal unit 15 are small, the water introduced from the 1 st opening 20 can be discharged from the 2 nd opening over a long distance.
Therefore, even if the area of the upper surface and the area of the lower surface of the silver crystal unit 15 are made small, a high antibacterial action can be obtained, and therefore the silver crystal unit 15 can be downsized.
As in the present embodiment, the area of the 2 nd opening 21 may be larger than the area of the 1 st opening 20.
With this configuration, the amount of water that can be discharged can be set to be larger than the amount of water that can be introduced.
Therefore, the water introduced from the 1 st opening 20 can be reliably discharged from the 2 nd opening 21.
As in the present embodiment, the silver crystal unit 15 may include the storage case 18 and the silver crystals 29 sealed in the storage case 18, and the water passage member 27 may be formed of a member separate from the storage case 18.
With this structure, the water passage member 27 can be made fine-meshed, and therefore, the silver crystals 29 can be made small in particle size.
As in the present embodiment, the storage case bottom surface 28 of the silver crystal unit 15 may be provided with the 2 nd opening 21 and formed obliquely, and the 2 nd opening 21 may be provided at a position which becomes a lower portion in the inclination of the storage case bottom surface 28.
According to this configuration, even when the silver crystals 29 are consumed to a small amount, the silver crystals 29 are accumulated in the inclined lower portion due to the inclination of the bottom surface 28 of the storage case and the weight of the auxiliary agent.
As in the present embodiment, the washing machine may include: a silver crystal unit 15; a detergent box 9 provided with a silver crystal unit storage part 16 for detachably storing the silver crystal unit 15; and a water injection device 11 which supplies water to the silver crystal unit 15 from above.
With this configuration, water containing silver ions can be supplied to the water tub 4 and the washing and dehydrating tub 3, and the silver ions can be attached to the laundry.
Therefore, the antibacterial action can be obtained efficiently.
As in the present embodiment, the washing machine includes: a silver crystal unit 15 in which a silver crystal 29 is sealed; a detergent box 9 provided with a silver crystal unit housing part 16 for housing the silver crystal unit 15 in a detachable manner; and a water injection device 11 supplying water to the detergent box 9. Further, the water injector 11 may include: a water path through which water supplied from the 2 nd water supply valve 82 flows; and a silver crystal nozzle 10 for injecting water in the water channel into the silver crystal unit 15, wherein an opening provided in the silver crystal nozzle 10 is formed to be narrower than the width of the water channel.
With this configuration, the water supplied from the 2 nd water supply valve 82 can pass through the hole of the silver crystal nozzle 10 to increase the water pressure, and the water supply rate into the silver crystal unit 15 can be increased.
Therefore, the silver crystals 29 can be efficiently dissolved to increase the silver ion concentration, and therefore, even a small amount of the silver crystals 29 can obtain a high antibacterial effect.
As in the present embodiment, the silver crystals 29 may be formed into a granular shape.
According to this structure, the speed at which the silver crystals 29 are dissolved in water can be increased by sliding the particles of the silver crystals 29 over each other.
As in the present embodiment, a plurality of silver crystal nozzles 10 may be provided.
As in the present embodiment, the silver crystal nozzle 10 may include a 1 st nozzle 10a and a 2 nd nozzle 10b having a smaller diameter than the 1 st nozzle 10 a.
According to this configuration, since a difference is generated in the flow velocity and the flow rate of the two streams, turbulence can be generated efficiently.
As in the present embodiment, the washing machine includes: a silver crystal unit 15 in which a silver crystal 29 is enclosed; a detergent box 9 provided with a silver crystal unit storage part 16 for detachably storing the silver crystal unit 15; and a water injection device 11 for supplying water to the detergent box 9, wherein the water injection device 11 comprises a silver crystal nozzle 10 for injecting water to the silver crystal unit 15. Further, a water passage member 27 formed in a mesh shape may be provided on the upper surface of the silver crystal unit 15, and the silver crystal unit 15 may be housed in the silver crystal unit housing portion 16 so that the silver crystal nozzle 10 and the water passage member 27 are close to each other.
With this configuration, the water discharged from the silver crystal nozzle 10 can be prevented from colliding with the water passage member 27 and scattering.
As in the present embodiment, a detergent input part 9a, a laundry detergent input part 9b, and a softener input part 9c, into which detergent and softener are input, are formed in the detergent box 9, respectively, and the water injection device 11 includes a water passage through which water for supplying to the silver crystal unit 15 and the softener input part 9c passes. Further, the water path may be provided with a nozzle 10 for silver crystal and a nozzle 14 for softener to inject water into the softener input portion 9c, and the water path may communicate with the lower side of the water injection device 11 through the nozzle 10 for silver crystal and the nozzle 14 for softener.
According to this configuration, water can be supplied to the softener containing the cationic component and the silver crystals 29 from which the cations are eluted at the same time, and the water can be introduced into the laundry stored in the water tank 4 and the washing and dehydrating tank 3.
Therefore, the synergistic effect by the cations being charged can be exerted, and the components of the softening agent and the silver ions can be firmly attached to the clothes.
As in the present embodiment, the silver crystal unit housing portion 16 may be disposed behind the softener feeding portion 9 c.
According to this structure, the silver crystal unit 15 that does not need to be contacted except for the replacement timing is provided at the rear, so that the silver crystal unit 15 does not become an obstacle when the softener is charged.
As in the present embodiment, the operation display unit 31 may urge replacement of the silver crystal unit 15 based on the number of times the washing operation is performed.
With this configuration, the user can be notified of the replacement timing. In addition, the amount of cations eluted from the self-help agent can be kept appropriate by replacement, thereby achieving stable antibacterial performance.
As in the present embodiment, the operation display unit 31 may notify the remaining usable number of times of the silver crystal unit 15 based on the number of times of performing the washing operation.
With this configuration, the user can be notified of the replacement timing. In addition, the amount of cations eluted from the self-help agent can be kept appropriate by replacement, thereby achieving stable antibacterial performance.
(embodiment 2)
Hereinafter, a washing machine according to embodiment 2 will be described with reference to fig. 13 to 14.
The washing machine of embodiment 2 is different from that of embodiment 1 at least in that a 2 nd silver crystal unit 215 is used instead of the silver crystal unit 15.
(silver crystal unit)
Fig. 13 is a schematic view showing water flows into the silver crystal unit in a cross section around the detergent box of the washing machine according to embodiment 2.
The 2 nd container 218 is formed in a box shape with its upper part covered, and is detachably attached to the 2 nd silver crystal unit container 216. A water passage 216a is formed in the 2 nd silver crystal unit accommodating portion 216 on the side of the 2 nd accommodating case 218. The water channel 216a is disposed below the silver crystal nozzle 10 and supplies water from the side to the 2 nd silver crystal unit 215.
In the lower portion of the side surface of second storage case 218: a 3 rd opening 220 for introducing water from the water passage 216 a; and a 4 th opening 221 which is disposed at a position opposite to the 3 rd opening 220 and discharges water from the 2 nd silver crystal unit 215. The 3 rd opening 220 and the 4 th opening 221 are formed with a plurality of holes, respectively. A 2 nd outlet 230 is provided in the 2 nd silver crystal unit housing 216 in the vicinity of the 4 th opening 221, and discharges water to the detergent box housing 12.
In this way, the 2 nd silver crystal unit 215 of the present embodiment is configured to immerse the silver crystals 29 housed in the lower portion inside the 2 nd storage case 218 when water is introduced. The silver crystals 29 immersed in the water below are gradually dissolved and discharged at each washing operation, and the silver crystals 29 above gradually descend due to their own weight. This makes it possible to supply the silver crystals 29, which have not been dissolved, from above with the superposition of the number of washing operations, thereby generating silver ion water having a constant silver ion concentration. Therefore, silver ion water can be generated at a constant silver ion concentration regardless of the remaining amount of the silver crystal 29.
Fig. 14 is a sectional view of the storage box of the washing machine of embodiment 2.
As shown in fig. 14, the 3 rd opening 220 and the 4 th opening 221 may be provided on the side surface of the 2 nd storage case 218 so as to be higher than the predetermined dimension a from the bottom surface of the 2 nd storage case 218. Thus, silver ion water remains in the 2 nd storage case 218 at a position lower than the 4 th opening 221 in each washing operation. Since the residual silver ionized water gradually dissolves the surrounding silver crystals 29, silver ionized water having a high concentration can be used in the next washing operation.
(action, etc.)
As described above, the washing machine according to the present embodiment includes the 3 rd opening 220 for introducing water into the inside and the 4 th opening 221 for discharging water at the lower portion of the side surface of the 2 nd silver crystal unit 215.
With this configuration, the water introduced into the 2 nd silver crystal unit 215 soaks the silver crystals 29 located below the inside of the 2 nd storage case 218 and is discharged from the 4 th opening 221. As the silver crystals 29 dissolve and decrease, the upper silver crystals 29 fall.
Therefore, the silver crystals 29 contained in the 2 nd silver crystal unit 215 are dissolved in order from below, and therefore, silver ion water having a constant silver ion concentration can be always generated.
As in the present embodiment, the 3 rd opening 220 and the 4 th opening 221 may be disposed at positions higher than the predetermined height a from the bottom surface of the 2 nd silver crystal unit 215.
With this configuration, silver ionized water remains in the 2 nd storage case 218 at a position lower than the 4 th opening 221 in each washing operation. Since the remaining silver ion water gradually dissolves the surrounding silver crystals 29, silver ion water having a high concentration can be used in the next washing operation.
(embodiment 3)
Hereinafter, a washing machine according to embodiment 3 will be described with reference to fig. 15.
The washing machine of embodiment 3 is different from that of embodiment 1 at least in that a 3 rd silver crystal unit 315 is used instead of the silver crystal unit 15.
(silver crystal unit)
Fig. 15 is a schematic view showing a flow of water flowing into the silver crystal unit in a cross section around the detergent box of the washing machine according to embodiment 3.
The lower part of the side surface of the 3 rd storage case 318 is formed with: a 5 th opening 320 for introducing water; and a 6 th opening 321 which is disposed at a position opposite to the 6 th opening 321 through which water is discharged and which discharges water from the 3 rd silver crystal unit 315.
The ribs 318a are provided in plural to partition the inside of the 3 rd storage case 318 and formed to alternately extend from the opposite inner side surfaces of the 3 rd storage case 318. Accordingly, the water introduced from the 5 th opening 320 passes through the water channel partitioned by the rib 318a, and the silver crystals 29 in the water channel are immersed and discharged from the 6 th opening 321.
(action, etc.)
In the washing machine of the present embodiment, a rib 318a is provided in the inside of the 3 rd storage case 318 so as to divide the inside of the 3 rd storage case 318.
According to this configuration, the water introduced from the 5 th opening 320 passes through the water channel partitioned by the rib 318a, and the silver crystals 29 in the water channel are immersed in the water and discharged from the 6 th opening 321.
Therefore, the silver crystals 29 located below the inside of the 3 rd storage case 318 can be wetted without fail, and therefore, the silver ion water can be generated at a constant silver ion concentration regardless of the remaining amount of the silver crystals 29.
