(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of the washing machine according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the drainage means in Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

図1に示すように、洗濯機外枠30は、3本の弾性体31と、2本の減衰装置32により外槽33を弾性支持している。洗濯兼脱水槽34は、外槽33内に回転自在に配設されている。駆動手段であるモータ35は、ブラシレス直流モータから成っており、インバータ制御されている。これにより、回転速度を自在に変化させることができ、直接、洗濯兼脱水槽34を回転させている。   As shown in FIG. 1, the washing machine outer frame 30 elastically supports an outer tub 33 with three elastic bodies 31 and two damping devices 32. The washing / dehydrating tub 34 is rotatably disposed in the outer tub 33. The motor 35 which is a drive means is composed of a brushless DC motor and is controlled by an inverter. Thereby, the rotation speed can be freely changed, and the washing and dewatering tub 34 is directly rotated.

給水手段36は洗濯兼脱水槽34内と、電解槽37aと、塩タンク37bとに給水する。水位検知手段(図示せず)は、外槽33内の水位を検知する。排水手段38は、外槽33内の洗濯水を排水する。排水手段38は、弁体38a、弁座38b、弁ばね38c、弁体移動片38d、弁体移動モータ38eを有している。   The water supply means 36 supplies water into the washing / dehydrating tank 34, the electrolytic tank 37a, and the salt tank 37b. The water level detection means (not shown) detects the water level in the outer tub 33. The drainage means 38 drains the washing water in the outer tub 33. The drainage means 38 includes a valve body 38a, a valve seat 38b, a valve spring 38c, a valve body moving piece 38d, and a valve body moving motor 38e.

制御手段39は、洗濯機外枠30の前面下部に設けられている。制御手段39は、洗濯機外枠30の前面上部に設けられた操作表示手段40により入力された設定内容に基づいて制御を行う。制御手段39は、パワースイッチング手段(図示せず)を介してモータ35、給水手段36、排水手段38などを制御し、洗い、すすぎ、脱水の各工程を逐次制御する。   The control means 39 is provided in the lower part of the front surface of the washing machine outer frame 30. The control means 39 performs control based on the setting content input by the operation display means 40 provided at the upper front of the washing machine outer frame 30. The control means 39 controls the motor 35, the water supply means 36, the drainage means 38, etc. via a power switching means (not shown), and sequentially controls each step of washing, rinsing and dehydration.

減衰装置32は、オイルを作動流体とする粘性ダンパーで、脱水起動時の外槽33の共振振動振幅を低減する。減衰装置32は、洗濯機外枠30の底部30aと外槽33の底部33aの間に固定されている。脚41はゴムなどの弾性材料で構成され、洗濯機外枠30の底部30aの四隅に配置されている。   The damping device 32 is a viscous damper that uses oil as a working fluid, and reduces the resonance vibration amplitude of the outer tub 33 at the start of dehydration. The damping device 32 is fixed between the bottom 30 a of the washing machine outer frame 30 and the bottom 33 a of the outer tub 33. The legs 41 are made of an elastic material such as rubber, and are disposed at the four corners of the bottom 30 a of the washing machine outer frame 30.

開閉手段42は、電解槽37aへの給水と、塩タンク37bへの給水の開始と停止を行う、例えば電磁弁である。電解槽37aは、洗濯機外枠の底部30aに設置されている。電解水供給手段43から電解水を供給する給水部43aは、電解槽37aの底部に接続されている。電解水を排水路46に投入する電解水投入部44は、吐出部43bと送水チューブ45で接続されている。電解水投入部44は排水手段38の上流側に位置する排水路46に設けられている。電解槽37a内には、電気分解用の一対の電極37cが対面して設けられている。塩タンク37bは電解槽37aに飽和食塩水37dを供給するもので内部に食塩37eを貯留している。食塩水供給手段47は塩タンク37bの底部に設けられた定流量ポンプであり、塩タンクの底部に溜まった飽和食塩水37dの一定量を電解槽37aに供給している。   The opening / closing means 42 is, for example, an electromagnetic valve that starts and stops water supply to the electrolytic cell 37a and water supply to the salt tank 37b. The electrolytic bath 37a is installed on the bottom 30a of the outer frame of the washing machine. A water supply unit 43a that supplies electrolyzed water from the electrolyzed water supply means 43 is connected to the bottom of the electrolyzer 37a. The electrolyzed water input part 44 for supplying the electrolyzed water to the drainage channel 46 is connected to the discharge part 43 b by the water supply tube 45. The electrolyzed water charging portion 44 is provided in a drainage channel 46 located upstream of the drainage means 38. A pair of electrodes 37c for electrolysis are provided facing each other in the electrolytic cell 37a. The salt tank 37b supplies saturated saline 37d to the electrolytic cell 37a, and stores salt 37e therein. The salt solution supply means 47 is a constant flow pump provided at the bottom of the salt tank 37b, and supplies a certain amount of saturated saline 37d accumulated at the bottom of the salt tank to the electrolytic cell 37a.

以上のように構成された洗濯機について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。   About the washing machine comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.

まず、洗濯兼脱水槽34内に洗濯物と洗剤を投入し、操作表示手段40を操作して運転を開始する。開閉手段42が開き電解槽37aと塩タンク37bにも水道水が供給される。塩タンク37b側水路である給水分岐ホース49bのチューブ内径は、電解槽37a側水路である給水ホース49aのチューブ内径より小さく設定してある。開閉手段42を所定時間開くと、電解槽37aに所定量の水道水が供給されると共に、塩タンク37bにはそれより少ない水道水が供給される。塩タンク37bに供給された水道水は食塩37eの層を通過して食塩37eを溶かし込んだ飽和食塩水37dとなって塩タンクの底部に溜まる。食塩水供給手段47が作動して一定量の飽和食塩水37dが電解槽37aに供給され、電解槽37a内の水道水と混合して約0.5%の塩水が生成される。ここで、電極37cに一定電流の電気を流し電気分解を開始する。   First, laundry and detergent are put into the washing / dehydrating tub 34, and the operation display means 40 is operated to start operation. The opening / closing means 42 is opened, and tap water is also supplied to the electrolytic cell 37a and the salt tank 37b. The tube inner diameter of the water supply branch hose 49b, which is the salt tank 37b side water channel, is set smaller than the tube inner diameter of the water supply hose 49a, which is the electrolytic cell 37a side water channel. When the opening / closing means 42 is opened for a predetermined time, a predetermined amount of tap water is supplied to the electrolytic cell 37a, and less tap water is supplied to the salt tank 37b. The tap water supplied to the salt tank 37b passes through the salt 37e layer, becomes saturated saline 37d in which the salt 37e is dissolved, and accumulates at the bottom of the salt tank. The salt solution supplying means 47 is operated to supply a certain amount of saturated saline 37d to the electrolytic bath 37a, and is mixed with tap water in the electrolytic bath 37a to generate about 0.5% salt water. Here, electricity of a constant current is passed through the electrode 37c to start electrolysis.

一方、外槽33内に所定量の水道水が給水され、水位検知手段が設定水位を検知すると、制御手段39は給水手段36を停止する。制御手段39は、モータ35を駆動し洗浄工程を開始する。洗濯兼脱水槽34は、例えば、45r/minで正転と反転を繰り返し行い、洗濯物を上げては落とすたたき洗いを10分間行う。この間に、電解槽37a内では塩水の電気分解が進み次亜塩素酸水が生成される。   On the other hand, when a predetermined amount of tap water is supplied into the outer tub 33 and the water level detection means detects the set water level, the control means 39 stops the water supply means 36. The control means 39 drives the motor 35 and starts the cleaning process. For example, the washing / dehydrating tub 34 repeats normal rotation and inversion at 45 r / min, and performs washing for 10 minutes by lifting the laundry and dropping it. During this time, electrolysis of salt water proceeds in the electrolytic cell 37a, and hypochlorous acid water is generated.

洗浄工程終了後、制御手段39は、排水手段38を開き外槽33内の汚れを溶かし込んだ洗濯水を排水する。その後、脱水によって洗濯物から洗濯水を分離し、排水手段38を通過して排出される。この時、弁体38a、弁座38bには、洗濯水に含まれた雑菌が付着することになる。ここで、図2に示すように、電解水供給手段43が作動し電解水が排
水手段38の上流側に給水される。給水された電解水は排水路46を流れ、弁体38a、弁座38bに到達して付着した雑菌を殺菌しながら下流へ流れる。
After completion of the cleaning process, the control means 39 opens the drainage means 38 and drains the washing water in which the dirt in the outer tub 33 is dissolved. Thereafter, the washing water is separated from the laundry by dehydration, and is discharged through the drainage means 38. At this time, bacteria contained in the washing water adhere to the valve body 38a and the valve seat 38b. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the electrolyzed water supply means 43 is operated and the electrolyzed water is supplied to the upstream side of the drainage means 38. The supplied electrolyzed water flows through the drainage channel 46 and reaches the valve body 38a and the valve seat 38b and flows downstream while sterilizing the adhering bacteria.

以上のように本発明の実施の形態1においては、電解槽37aで塩水を電気分解して高濃度の次亜塩素酸水を生成し、それを洗浄し難い排水手段38の弁体38a、弁座38bに通水し付着した雑菌を殺菌する。これにより、排水手段38に付着した雑菌が洗濯水に混じり、その洗濯水が循環して洗濯機の各部に付着し、そこで雑菌が増殖することによる悪臭の発生等の問題を起こしにくくできる。   As described above, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the salt water is electrolyzed in the electrolytic cell 37a to generate high-concentration hypochlorous acid water, and it is difficult to wash the valve body 38a and valve of the drainage means 38. The bacteria that have passed through the seat 38b are sterilized. Thereby, various germs adhering to the drainage means 38 are mixed in the washing water, and the washing water circulates and adheres to each part of the washing machine, and it is difficult to cause problems such as generation of bad odor due to the proliferation of germs there.

(実施の形態2)
図3は、本発明の実施の形態2の排水手段38の横断面図を示すものである。図3において、制御手段39は、排水手段38が開状態のときに電解水供給手段43を作動して電解水を給水するようにするものである。その他の構成は、本発明の実施の形態1と同様である。これにより、排水手段38の弁体38aと弁座38bに確実に電解水が付着し、弁体38aと弁座38bに付着した雑菌の除菌ならびに防かび処理をすることができる。
(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the drainage means 38 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In FIG. 3, the control means 39 operates the electrolyzed water supply means 43 to supply the electrolyzed water when the drainage means 38 is in the open state. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment of the present invention. Thereby, electrolyzed water adheres reliably to the valve body 38a and the valve seat 38b of the drainage means 38, and it is possible to sterilize the germs attached to the valve body 38a and the valve seat 38b and to prevent mold.

(実施の形態3)
図4は、本発明の実施の形態3の排水手段38の横断面図を示すものである。図4において、制御手段39は、排水手段38が開閉を繰り返しているときに電解水供給手段43を作動させて電解水を給水するようにするものである。その他の構成は、本発明の実施の形態1と同様である。これにより、電解水を通水するだけでなく弁体38aが動くことによって発生する機械力と電解水の水力で弁体38a、弁座38bならびに弁体38aが摺動する弁路48に付着した雑菌を確実に擦りとることができる。これによって更に効率的に除菌ならびに防かびをすることができる。
(Embodiment 3)
FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the drainage means 38 according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. In FIG. 4, the control means 39 operates the electrolyzed water supply means 43 to supply the electrolyzed water when the drain means 38 is repeatedly opened and closed. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment of the present invention. As a result, the valve body 38a, the valve seat 38b and the valve body 38a are attached to the valve path 48 through which the valve body 38a slides by mechanical force generated by moving the valve body 38a as well as by passing the electrolyzed water and hydraulic power of the electrolyzed water. It can surely scrape off various germs. This makes it possible to more effectively disinfect and prevent fungi.

(実施の形態4)
図5は、本発明の実施の形態4の排水手段の横断面図を示すものである。図5において、排水手段38は弁体38aと弁座38bとを有し、制御手段39は、電解水供給手段43を作動して、弁体38aと弁座38bとで形成する隙間38fに電解水を給水するようにするものである。その他の構成は、本発明の実施の形態1と同様である。隙間38fは流れが制限されているので、電解水が弁体38aと弁座38b間をゆっくり流れることになる。これによって電解水の作用時間が長くなって弁体38aと弁座38bに付着した多くの雑菌を効果的に殺菌できる。
(Embodiment 4)
FIG. 5 shows a cross-sectional view of the drainage means of Embodiment 4 of the present invention. In FIG. 5, the drainage means 38 has a valve body 38a and a valve seat 38b, and the control means 39 operates the electrolyzed water supply means 43 to electrolyze a gap 38f formed by the valve body 38a and the valve seat 38b. It is intended to supply water. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment of the present invention. Since the flow of the gap 38f is restricted, the electrolyzed water slowly flows between the valve body 38a and the valve seat 38b. As a result, the action time of the electrolyzed water becomes longer, and many germs adhering to the valve body 38a and the valve seat 38b can be effectively sterilized.

(実施の形態5)
図6は、本発明の実施の形態5の洗濯機のタイミングチャートを示すものである。図6において、制御手段39は、洗濯水の排水終了後に排水手段を閉じ、電解水供給手段43を作動して、排水手段38に電解水を給水するようにするものである。その他の構成は、本発明の実施の形態1〜4と同様である。これにより、汚れが強く雑菌が多く含まれる洗濯水が通過し、弁体38aと弁座38bに雑菌やかび菌が付着した直後に電解水を流すことになり、増殖前の雑菌やかび菌を効果的に殺菌できる。
(Embodiment 5)
FIG. 6 is a timing chart of the washing machine according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 6, the control means 39 closes the drainage means after the drainage of the washing water, operates the electrolytic water supply means 43, and supplies the electrolytic water to the drainage means 38. Other configurations are the same as those of the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention. As a result, the washing water containing a large amount of various germs passes through the electrolyzed water immediately after the germs and fungi adhere to the valve body 38a and the valve seat 38b. Can be sterilized effectively.

(実施の形態6)
図7は、本発明の実施の形態6の洗濯機のタイミングチャートを示すものである。図7において、制御手段39は、洗濯水の排水終了後、排水手段38に電解水を給水し、その後、すすぎを実行するようにしたものである。その他の構成は、本発明の実施の形態5と同様である。これにより、殺菌後の排水手段38や排水路46に付着した高濃度の次亜塩素酸水をきれいなすすぎ水で洗い流すことになり、排水手段38や排水路46の殺菌と共に腐食を防止できる。
