次に、以上のように構成された本実施の形態のドラム式洗濯機の動作、作用について、説明する。 Next, the operation and action of the drum type washing machine of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described.

電源スイッチ３３のＯＮにより、本体部１に対して商用電源から電力が供給されて操作可能になる。使用者が第１扉体１０３または、第２扉体２０３を開き、第１回転ドラム１１０または、第２回転ドラム２１０内に洗濯物を投入し、次いで、洗剤収容枠体１０６を前方に引き出すと、第１洗剤収容容器１０４および第２洗剤収容容器２０４が本体部１から前方に露出され、第１の水槽１１１、第２の水槽２１１で洗濯したい洗濯物にそれぞれ対応する洗剤を第１洗剤収容容器１０４及び第２洗剤収容容器２０４へ必要量だけ投入する。 When the power switch 33 is turned on, power is supplied to the main body 1 from a commercial power source and the main unit 1 can be operated. When the user opens the first door body 103 or the second door body 203, puts the laundry into the first rotary drum 110 or the second rotary drum 210, and then pulls out the detergent container frame 106 forward. The first detergent container 104 and the second detergent container 204 are exposed forward from the main body 1, and the detergent corresponding to the laundry to be washed in the first water tank 111 and the second water tank 211 is accommodated in the first detergent. A necessary amount is put into the container 104 and the second detergent container 204.

この状態から、使用者は操作部４にて各種洗濯コースや洗濯時の設定条件、上下どちらかの洗濯槽を使用するかを選択できる。洗濯コースには、『洗いのみ』、『すすぎのみ』、『脱水のみ』、さらには、『洗い』から『脱水』までの各行程を一貫して運転する『全行程』などがあり、洗濯時の設定条件としては、それら各行程を運転させる時間や回数がある。 From this state, the user can select various washing courses, setting conditions at the time of washing, and whether to use the upper or lower washing tub with the operation unit 4. The washing course includes "washing only", "rinsing only", "dehydration only", and "whole process" that runs all the processes from "washing" to "dehydration". As the setting conditions, there are time and number of times for operating each of the processes.

例えば、使用者が『第１の水槽』『洗いのみ』と『第２の水槽』『洗いのみ』を同時に行うコースを選択し、操作部４を操作して設定条件を入力してから本体部１の運転を開始すると、水位検知手段３４、回転数検知手段３５、振動検知手段３６、布量検知手段３７からの出力と、設定内容に基づいて、表示部５に設定内容を表示するとともに洗濯終了時間を表示する。その後、制御部２７は、第１モータ１１２、第２モータ２１２、排水弁１８、２８、排水ポンプ２０、給水ポンプ２１、給水器２５などの動作を制御し、上記の設定の場合は、『洗い行程』、『すすぎ行程』、『脱水行程』の各行程のうち『洗い行程』のみを制御し実行する。 For example, the user selects a course in which “first water tank”, “washing only”, “second water tank”, and “washing only” at the same time and operates the operation unit 4 to input setting conditions, and then the main body unit. When the operation 1 is started, the setting content is displayed on the display unit 5 based on the output from the water level detection means 34, the rotation speed detection means 35, the vibration detection means 36, the cloth amount detection means 37, and the setting contents, and the washing is performed. Displays the end time. Thereafter, the control unit 27 controls the operation of the first motor 112, the second motor 212, the drain valves 18, 28, the drain pump 20, the feed pump 21, the water feeder 25, and the like. Only the “washing process” is controlled and executed among the processes of “stroke”, “rinsing process”, and “dehydration process”.

『第１の水槽』『洗い行程』において、第１洗剤収容容器１０４に給水されるように給水器２５が動作すると、水道水は給水器２５から給水部材３０に供給され、給水部材３０を通った後に第１洗剤収容容器１０４に対向する第１給水孔３０ａから水が吐出する。第１給水孔３０ａは第１洗剤収容容器１０４の上方に配置されており、給水部材３０から第
１洗剤収容容器１０４へ水を供給する。第１洗剤収容容器１０４に収容された洗剤は第１給水孔３０ａにより給水されることで水と混合され洗剤水となり、第１洗剤収容容器１０４から第１底面開口部１５０ａを通過し、第１底面部１４７に達し、第１開口部１５０へ送水される。 In the “first water tank” and “washing process”, when the water supply unit 25 is operated so as to supply water to the first detergent container 104, tap water is supplied from the water supply unit 25 to the water supply member 30 and passes through the water supply member 30. After that, water is discharged from the first water supply hole 30a facing the first detergent container 104. The first water supply hole 30 a is arranged above the first detergent container 104 and supplies water from the water supply member 30 to the first detergent container 104. The detergent stored in the first detergent container 104 is mixed with water by supplying water through the first water supply hole 30a to become detergent water, passes through the first bottom opening 150a from the first detergent container 104, and the first The water reaches the bottom portion 147 and is fed to the first opening 150.

第１開口部１５０へ送水された洗剤水は、第１接続管部材１３２を流通し、給水ポンプ２１によって、逆止弁１４を通り第１の水槽１１１へ送水される。 The detergent water fed to the first opening 150 flows through the first connecting pipe member 132 and is fed by the water supply pump 21 to the first water tank 111 through the check valve 14.

第１洗剤収容容器１０４や送水部材３１等の洗剤水供給部は第１の水槽１１１より下方に配されているが、本実施の形態によれば、上述したとおり、洗剤水は、給水ポンプ２１により強制的に送水されるため滞留を抑制することができ、より確実に洗剤が溶解した洗剤水を第１の水槽１１１に送水することができる。また、給水ポンプ２１（ポンプ）と第１の水槽１１１を接続し洗剤水を送る送水経路である第１接続管部材１３２（接続管）には逆止弁１４が配置されており、給水ポンプ２１（ポンプ）が送水稼動していないときでも、洗剤水が給水ポンプ２１（ポンプ）へ戻ることを抑止している。 Although the detergent water supply units such as the first detergent container 104 and the water supply member 31 are arranged below the first water tank 111, according to the present embodiment, the detergent water is supplied from the water supply pump 21 as described above. Since the water is forcibly supplied, the retention can be suppressed, and the detergent water in which the detergent is dissolved can be supplied to the first water tank 111 more reliably. In addition, a check valve 14 is disposed in the first connection pipe member 132 (connection pipe) which is a water supply path for connecting the water supply pump 21 (pump) and the first water tank 111 to send the detergent water. Even when the (pump) is not in operation, the detergent water is prevented from returning to the water supply pump 21 (pump).

また、第１接続管部材１３２（接続管）は第１の水槽１１１の背面のほぼ最上部に接続され、その接続部１３２ａの高さ位置は、洗濯時の第１の水槽１１１内の洗剤水の最高水位以上の高さに立ち上げてあるので、給水ポンプ２１の揚水能力は、第１の水槽１１１の最高水位までの合水に抗して第１の水槽１１１内に洗剤水を送り込めるほど強力である必要がなく、また、給水ポンプ２１が稼働していない場合においても第１の水槽１１１から給水ポンプ２１に水または洗剤水が逆流してくることがない。 Moreover, the 1st connection pipe member 132 (connection pipe) is connected to the substantially uppermost part of the back surface of the 1st water tank 111, The height position of the connection part 132a is the detergent water in the 1st water tank 111 at the time of washing The pumping capacity of the water supply pump 21 can feed the detergent water into the first water tank 111 against the combined water up to the highest water level of the first water tank 111. It is not necessary to be so strong, and water or detergent water does not flow backward from the first water tank 111 to the water supply pump 21 even when the water supply pump 21 is not operating.

給水完了後、第１回転ドラム１１０が動作し始める。洗剤が水に溶解した洗剤水である洗濯水に洗濯物が浸り、洗濯物への洗剤の浸透、排出により洗濯物に付着した汚れを落とす。所定時間経過後、第１回転ドラム１１０の回転を停止し、排水弁１８を開き、排水ポンプ２０の動作により、洗濯水が排水されて、『第１の水槽』『洗い行程』が終了する。 After the water supply is completed, the first rotating drum 110 starts to operate. The laundry is immersed in washing water, which is a detergent water in which the detergent is dissolved in water, and the dirt attached to the laundry is removed by the penetration and discharge of the detergent into the laundry. After the elapse of a predetermined time, the rotation of the first rotating drum 110 is stopped, the drain valve 18 is opened, and the washing pump is drained by the operation of the drain pump 20 to complete the “first water tank” and “washing process”.

同様に『第２の水槽』『洗い行程』において、第２洗剤収容容器２０４に給水されるように給水器２５が動作すると、水道水は給水器２５から給水部材３０に供給され、給水部材３０を通った後に第２洗剤収容容器２０４に対向する第２給水孔３０ｂから水が吐出する。第２給水孔３０ｂは第２洗剤収容容器２０４の上方に配置されており、給水部材３０から第２洗剤収容容器２０４へ水を供給する。第２洗剤収容容器２０４に収容された洗剤は第２給水孔３０ｂより給水されることで水と混合され洗剤水となり、第２洗剤収容容器２０４から第２底面開口部２５０ａを通過し、第２底面部２４７に達し、第２開口部２５０へ送水される。 Similarly, in the “second water tank” and “washing process”, when the water supply unit 25 is operated so that the second detergent container 204 is supplied with water, the tap water is supplied from the water supply unit 25 to the water supply member 30 and the water supply member 30 is supplied. After passing through, water is discharged from the second water supply hole 30b facing the second detergent container 204. The second water supply hole 30 b is disposed above the second detergent storage container 204 and supplies water from the water supply member 30 to the second detergent storage container 204. The detergent stored in the second detergent container 204 is mixed with water by being supplied from the second water supply hole 30b to become detergent water, passes through the second bottom opening 250a from the second detergent container 204, and the second The water reaches the bottom surface portion 247 and is fed to the second opening portion 250.

第２開口部２５０へ送水された洗剤水は、第２接続管部材２３２を流通し、第２の水槽２１１へ送水される。第２洗剤収容容器２０４や送水部材３１等の洗剤水供給部は第２の水槽２１１より上方に配されているので、第１の水槽１１１側では必要であった逆止弁や給水ポンプは第２の水槽２１１への送水経路には不要である。 The detergent water sent to the second opening 250 flows through the second connecting pipe member 232 and is sent to the second water tank 211. Since the detergent water supply units such as the second detergent container 204 and the water feeding member 31 are arranged above the second water tank 211, the check valve and the water pump that are necessary on the first water tank 111 side are the first one. It is not necessary for the water supply path to the second water tank 211.

給水完了後、第２回転ドラム２１０が動作し始める。洗剤が水に溶解した洗剤水である洗濯水に洗濯物が浸り、洗濯物への洗剤の浸透、排出により洗濯物に付着した汚れを落とす。所定時間経過後、第２回転ドラム２１０の回転を停止し、排水弁２８を開き、排水ポンプ２０の動作により、洗濯水が排水されて、『第２の水槽』『洗い行程』が終了する。 After the water supply is completed, the second rotary drum 210 starts to operate. The laundry is immersed in washing water, which is a detergent water in which the detergent is dissolved in water, and the dirt attached to the laundry is removed by the penetration and discharge of the detergent into the laundry. After the elapse of a predetermined time, the rotation of the second rotary drum 210 is stopped, the drain valve 28 is opened, and the wash water is drained by the operation of the drain pump 20, and the “second water tank” and “washing process” are completed.

なお、上述の動作になんらかの異常があった場合は、表示部５に異常情報を表示する。以上が、本実施の形態のドラム式洗濯機の動作、作用についての説明である。 If there is any abnormality in the above operation, the abnormality information is displayed on the display unit 5. The above is description about operation | movement and an effect | action of the drum type washing machine of this Embodiment.

以上まとめると、本発明の実施の形態のドラム式洗濯機では、上部に配置された第１の水槽１１１と下部に配置された第２の水槽２１１を併せ持つドラム式洗濯機において、第１の水槽１１１に洗剤水を供給するための第１洗剤収容容器１０４と第２の水槽２１１に洗剤水を供給するための第２洗剤収容容器２０４を備え、第１洗剤収容容器１０４と第２洗剤収容容器２０４を一体型の洗剤収容枠体１０６に収容したことにより、洗剤投入作業を効率化でき、かつ、洗剤収容枠体１０６の配置自由度を損なうことなく、回転ドラム１１０、２１０への洗剤水の給水経路を形成し得る。 In summary, in the drum type washing machine according to the embodiment of the present invention, in the drum type washing machine having both the first water tank 111 arranged in the upper part and the second water tank 211 arranged in the lower part, the first water tank 111, a first detergent container 104 for supplying detergent water and a second detergent container 204 for supplying detergent water to the second water tank 211, the first detergent container 104 and the second detergent container Since 204 is accommodated in the integrated detergent housing frame 106, the detergent charging operation can be made more efficient, and the detergent water to the rotating drums 110 and 210 can be performed without impairing the degree of freedom in arranging the detergent housing frame 106. A water supply path may be formed.

そして、一つの洗剤収容枠体１０６から排出された洗剤を含む洗剤水及び水が流れる送水部材３１から第１の水槽１１１、第２の水槽２１１の双方に、個別にあるいは同時に自在に洗剤水または水道水を流通することが可能であるので、衣類の種類に従って別々に洗濯したいという要望に応えて開発された複数の水槽を備えたドラム式洗濯機で、異なる量や質の洗剤を使用して洗濯を行う場合に、洗剤の投入作業の効率化、簡易化を実現することができ、使い勝手の良いドラム式洗濯機を実現することができる。 Then, the detergent water containing the detergent discharged from one detergent housing frame 106 and the water supply member 31 through which the water flows can be freely and individually added to both the first water tank 111 and the second water tank 211 individually or simultaneously. Since tap water can be distributed, it is a drum-type washing machine with multiple water tanks developed in response to the desire to wash separately according to the type of clothing, using different amounts and quality detergents When washing is performed, it is possible to improve the efficiency and simplification of the detergent charging operation, and it is possible to realize a drum-type washing machine that is easy to use.

なお、本実施の形態では、第１洗剤収容容器を第１の水槽の下部に配置し、給水ポンプ、逆止弁を配置したが、第１洗剤収容容器を本体部概上部へ配置した場合は、給水ポンプ、逆止弁は必ずしも配置しなくてもかまわない。 In the present embodiment, the first detergent container is arranged at the lower part of the first water tank, and the water supply pump and the check valve are arranged. However, when the first detergent container is arranged at the upper part of the main body. The water supply pump and the check valve need not necessarily be arranged.

また、本実施の形態では、給水ポンプと上部に配置された第１の水槽との間の接続管を、第１の水槽の背面のほぼ最上部に接続することにより、洗濯時の第１の水槽内の洗剤水の最高水位以上の高さに立ち上げることを実現しているが、接続管の第１の水槽への接続部が第１の水槽内の洗剤水の最高水位以下であっても、給水ポンプから第１の水槽に到る途中の接続管の一部が洗濯時の第１の水槽内の洗剤水の最高水位以上の高さであれば、接続管を洗濯時の第１の水槽内の洗剤水の最高水位以上の高さに立ち上げることとなり、同等の効果を得ることができる。 Moreover, in this Embodiment, the 1st pipe at the time of washing is connected by connecting the connection pipe between a water supply pump and the 1st water tank arrange | positioned at the upper part to the substantially uppermost part of the back surface of a 1st water tank. It has been realized that the height of the detergent water in the aquarium is higher than the maximum water level, but the connecting portion of the connecting pipe to the first water tank is below the maximum water level of the detergent water in the first water tank. If the part of the connecting pipe on the way from the water supply pump to the first water tank is higher than the maximum water level of the detergent water in the first water tank at the time of washing, the connecting pipe is first washed. The height of the detergent water in the water tank is raised to a height higher than the maximum water level, and the same effect can be obtained.

また、本発明は、洗濯物を乾燥する乾燥手段および乾燥行程を備えたドラム式洗濯乾燥機に対しても同様の効果を得ることができる。 In addition, the present invention can obtain the same effect with respect to a drum type laundry dryer provided with a drying means for drying laundry and a drying process.
