Description
本発明は洗濯機の分野に属し、具体的には、洗濯機の給水装置及び洗濯機に関するものである。 The present invention belongs to the field of washing machines, and specifically relates to water supply devices for washing machines and washing machines.
生活水準の向上が続くに伴って、入浴時に湯船に浸かる家庭が増えている。しかし、入浴後に浴槽内の水をそのまま排水していたのでは大変な無駄となる。また、水資源が日に日に逼迫していることから、廃水の再利用はとりわけ重要と思われる。一方で、多くの家庭に洗濯機が普及しており、生活用水のかなりの部分を洗濯機の使用水量が占めている。そこで、これらを如何に連携させて水を十分に活用するかが人々の多大な関心事となっている。日本では、１９９０年代から風呂の残り湯を衣類洗浄に利用し初めており、風呂の残り湯で衣類を洗浄可能な洗濯機が開発されている。風呂の残り湯を利用する洗濯機では生活用水の再利用が実現されることから、洗濯機の使用水量が大幅に減少する。 As the standard of living continues to improve, more and more households are bathing in the bathtub. However, it would be a great waste if the water in the bathtub was drained as it was after bathing. In addition, the reuse of wastewater seems to be particularly important because water resources are becoming tighter day by day. On the other hand, washing machines are widespread in many households, and the amount of water used by the washing machines accounts for a large part of the domestic water. Therefore, how to link these to make full use of water has become a great concern for people. In Japan, the remaining hot water in the bath has been used for washing clothes since the 1990s, and washing machines that can wash clothes with the remaining hot water in the bath have been developed. A washing machine that uses the remaining hot water in the bath can reuse domestic water, which greatly reduces the amount of water used in the washing machine.
また、通常の洗濯乾燥機は、洗浄槽に投入された衣類を洗浄可能であるとともに、洗浄完了後には、選択されたプログラムに基づいて衣類を乾燥させることが可能である。乾燥過程では、加熱装置の作用により、乾燥した空気を加熱管内で加熱することで乾燥した熱い空気を形成する。これを洗浄槽に導入し、洗浄槽内の濡れた衣類との間で熱交換を発生させることで、衣類中の水分を除去してやや湿った熱い空気を形成する。このやや湿った熱い空気は洗浄槽に設置された出口から凝縮アセンブリに進入し、凝縮アセンブリの凝縮作用によって、やや湿った熱い空気中の水分が凝縮して水となる。これが排水管から排出されることで、凝縮された空気は相対的に乾燥した冷たい空気となる。この空気はファンの作用によって再び加熱管に導入され、加熱されることで乾燥した熱い空気となって次のサイクルに突入する。これを乾燥プログラムが終了するまで繰り返す。 In addition, a normal washer / dryer can wash the clothes put into the washing tub, and after the washing is completed, the clothes can be dried based on the selected program. In the drying process, the action of the heating device heats the dried air in the heating tube to form dry hot air. By introducing this into the washing tank and generating heat exchange with the wet clothes in the washing tank, the moisture in the clothes is removed and a slightly moist hot air is formed. This slightly moist hot air enters the condensing assembly from an outlet installed in the washing tank, and the condensing action of the condensing assembly condenses the moisture in the slightly moist hot air into water. When this is discharged from the drain pipe, the condensed air becomes relatively dry and cold air. This air is introduced into the heating tube again by the action of the fan, and when it is heated, it becomes dry hot air and enters the next cycle. This is repeated until the drying program is completed.
衣類の洗浄及び乾燥過程では、多くの毛羽やその他の異物（以下、毛羽とする）の発生が不可避である。毛羽は湿った熱い空気とともに給水口から給水経路へと直接進入し、給水経路を汚染するだけでなく、洗濯機の給水経路のクリーニングコストを増加させる。また、深刻な場合には給水経路を詰まらせる恐れもある。 In the process of washing and drying clothes, it is inevitable that many fluffs and other foreign substances (hereinafter referred to as fluffs) are generated. The fluff enters the water supply path directly from the water supply port with moist hot air, which not only pollutes the water supply path but also increases the cleaning cost of the water supply path of the washing machine. In serious cases, the water supply route may be clogged.
以上に鑑みて、本発明を提案する。 In view of the above, the present invention is proposed.
本発明は、従来技術の瑕疵を解消し、給水時にのみ洗浄槽と給水経路を連通し、乾燥等のプログラムを実行する際には給水経路と洗浄槽を遮断する洗濯機の給水装置及び洗濯機を提供することを解決しようとする技術的課題とする。これにより、乾燥過程における熱損失や、給水経路に糸屑等の汚染物質が進入するとの課題が回避される。また、本発明の給水装置は、異なる給水経路から供給される洗浄水を受け付ける。且つ、タンクの流路分配室内の流路を用いて主給水と吸水ポンプとを並列接続することで、従来のような吸水ポンプのために独立して設置される給水弁を不要とする。本発明は、吸水ポンプを備える洗濯機と比較して、部品数が少なく、低コストであり、占有体積が小さい等の利点を有する。これにより、洗濯機は、風呂の残り湯等の別の水源を洗濯機の洗浄水として利用しやすくなり、使用水量を節約するとの目的が達せられる。 The present invention eliminates defects in the prior art, connects the washing tub and the water supply path only when water is supplied, and shuts off the water supply path and the washing tub when executing a program such as drying. It is a technical issue to try to solve the problem. This avoids the problems of heat loss in the drying process and the entry of contaminants such as lint into the water supply path. In addition, the water supply device of the present invention accepts wash water supplied from different water supply routes. Moreover, by connecting the main water supply and the water absorption pump in parallel using the flow path in the flow path distribution chamber of the tank, it is not necessary to install a water supply valve independently for the conventional water absorption pump. The present invention has advantages such as a small number of parts, low cost, and a small occupied volume as compared with a washing machine provided with a water absorption pump. As a result, the washing machine can easily use another water source such as the remaining hot water of the bath as the washing water of the washing machine, and the purpose of saving the amount of water used can be achieved.

上記の技術方案を用いることで、本発明は従来技術と比較して以下の有益な効果を有する。 By using the above technical plan, the present invention has the following beneficial effects as compared with the prior art.
本発明における洗濯機の給水装置及び洗濯機は、洗濯機の給水経路に一方向連通装置が設けられている。前記一方向連通装置は、洗濯機の給水時に水圧を受けて開放され、給水完了後には閉止を維持する。洗浄槽は給水時にのみ給水経路と連通し、乾燥等のプログラムを実行する際には給水経路と洗浄槽を遮断する。これにより、乾燥過程における熱損失や、給水経路に糸屑等の汚染物質が進入するとの課題が回避される。 In the water supply device and the washing machine of the washing machine in the present invention, a one-way communication device is provided in the water supply path of the washing machine. The one-way communication device is opened by receiving water pressure when the washing machine is supplied with water, and is kept closed after the water supply is completed. The washing tank communicates with the water supply path only when water is supplied, and shuts off the water supply path and the washing tank when executing a program such as drying. This avoids the problems of heat loss in the drying process and the entry of contaminants such as lint into the water supply path.
前記給水装置は給水経路と連通するタンクを含み、当該一方向連通装置は洗濯機のタンクの吐水口に設けられている。当該タンクは、洗浄槽と連通して個別に給水可能な第１給水経路及び第２給水経路と連通する。前記第１給水経路は吸水ポンプを含み、前記第２給水経路は前記吸水ポンプと連通する。これにより、主吸水と吸水ポンプとの並列接続が実現されるため、給水経路への給水と同時に吸水ポンプのポンプ室への潅水、即ち呼び水のプロセスも実現される。その結果、吸水ポンプは給水経路の開放後に迅速に起動可能となるため、従来のような吸水ポンプを起動するための呼び水に必要とされる独立した導水用の給水弁は省略される。よって、従来の吸水ポンプを備える洗濯機と比較して部品数が少なく、低コストとなり、且つ占有体積が小さくなる。 The water supply device includes a tank that communicates with a water supply path, and the one-way communication device is provided at a water outlet of a tank of a washing machine. The tank communicates with the washing tank and communicates with the first water supply path and the second water supply path that can individually supply water. The first water supply path includes a water absorption pump, and the second water supply path communicates with the water absorption pump. As a result, the main water absorption and the water absorption pump are connected in parallel, so that the process of irrigating the pump chamber of the water absorption pump at the same time as supplying water to the water supply path, that is, priming is also realized. As a result, the water absorption pump can be started quickly after the water supply path is opened, so that the independent water conduction valve required for priming to start the conventional water absorption pump is omitted. Therefore, the number of parts is small, the cost is low, and the occupied volume is small as compared with the washing machine provided with the conventional water absorption pump.
この目的を実現するために、本発明では、タンク内に、前記吸水ポンプのポンプ室に水流を流入させるよう案内する第１流路を設けている。当該第１流路は、吸水ポンプとは独立した給水経路と直接連通する。タンク内の流路の配置によって上記の呼び水用水路による案内を実現しているため、従来の洗濯機を改造する際のコストが抑えられる。また、タンクを交換することで、洗濯機に吸水ポンプによる吸水機能を素早く持たせることが可能である。 In order to realize this object, in the present invention, a first flow path for guiding the water flow into the pump chamber of the water absorption pump is provided in the tank. The first flow path directly communicates with a water supply path independent of the water absorption pump. Since the guidance by the above-mentioned priming canal is realized by arranging the flow path in the tank, the cost when modifying the conventional washing machine can be suppressed. In addition, by replacing the tank, it is possible to quickly give the washing machine a water absorption function by a water absorption pump.
本発明における流路分配室の第１給水端の設置高さが前記第１吐水端の設置高さよりも低く、第１給水端と前記第１吐水端がそれぞれ前記流路分配室の対向する両側に設けられるとの設計は、タンクからの溢流によってポンプへの呼び水を完了するためのものである。このような方式によれば、給水回路の長さを延長できるだけでなく、給水にエネルギーが緩衝する領域を提供可能となる。これにより、給水時の水流の衝撃が低減し、タンクへの水流進入後の流動性を低下させられるため、水流をより安定的に流路の導流方向に従って流動させることが可能となる。 The installation height of the first water supply end of the flow path distribution chamber in the present invention is lower than the installation height of the first water discharge end, and the first water supply end and the first water discharge end face each other on both sides of the flow path distribution chamber. The design to be provided in is to complete the priming of the pump by the overflow from the tank. According to such a method, not only the length of the water supply circuit can be extended, but also a region where energy is buffered in the water supply can be provided. As a result, the impact of the water flow during water supply is reduced, and the fluidity after the water flow enters the tank can be reduced, so that the water flow can flow more stably according to the flow direction of the flow path.
タンクの流路分配室の下部には混水室が設けられており、混水室が洗浄槽と連通する。また、混水室と流路分配室は複数の開口を通じて連通している。これにより、異なる流路からの水流が最終的に混水室に合流可能となり、最後には、洗浄槽に向けて開放された混水室の開口から洗浄槽へと流入するよう保証している。 A mixed water chamber is provided at the bottom of the flow path distribution chamber of the tank, and the mixed water chamber communicates with the washing tank. Further, the mixed water chamber and the flow path distribution chamber communicate with each other through a plurality of openings. This ensures that water flows from different channels can finally merge into the mixing chamber and finally flow into the cleaning tank through the opening of the mixed chamber that is open towards the cleaning tank. ..
本発明における混水室の吐水口には一方向弁が更に設けられている。前記一方向弁は、圧力の有／無に応じて閉止／開放状態を維持することで、当該吐水口の開／閉状態の切り替えを制御する。これにより、給水時にのみ洗浄槽を給水経路と連通し、乾燥等のプログラムを実行する際には給水経路と洗浄槽を遮断する。よって、乾燥過程における熱損失や、給水経路に糸屑等の汚染物質が進入するとの課題が回避される。 A one-way valve is further provided at the spout of the water mixing chamber in the present invention. The one-way valve controls switching between the open / closed state of the spout by maintaining the closed / open state according to the presence / absence of pressure. As a result, the washing tank is communicated with the water supply path only when water is supplied, and the water supply path and the washing tank are cut off when a program such as drying is executed. Therefore, problems such as heat loss in the drying process and the entry of pollutants such as lint into the water supply path are avoided.
本発明では、第１流路における呼び水用の水以外の水を第２流路を通じて洗浄槽に流入させることで、主給水と吸水ポンプとの並列接続を実現しているため、吸水速度が上昇する。また、吸水ポンプが吸い込んだ水は、流路分配室内に設けられる第３流路を通じて洗浄槽へと流入し、洗濯機に洗浄水を供給する。且つ、吸水ポンプの起動後は、給水弁を閉じることで第１流路への給水を停止し、吸水ポンプのみで給水を行ってもよい。吸水ポンプは吸水機能を有するため、日常生活で蓄えられたその他の水を洗濯機に吸い込むことが可能である。特に、吸水ポンプは家庭の浴槽といった大型の貯水装置と連通可能なため、使用水量を大幅に節約するとの目的が達せられる。 In the present invention, water other than the priming water in the first flow path flows into the washing tank through the second flow path to realize parallel connection between the main water supply and the water absorption pump, so that the water absorption rate increases. To do. Further, the water sucked by the water absorption pump flows into the washing tub through the third flow path provided in the flow path distribution chamber, and supplies the washing water to the washing machine. Further, after the water absorption pump is started, the water supply to the first flow path may be stopped by closing the water supply valve, and water may be supplied only by the water absorption pump. Since the water absorption pump has a water absorption function, it is possible to suck other water stored in daily life into the washing machine. In particular, since the water absorption pump can communicate with a large water storage device such as a home bathtub, the purpose of significantly saving the amount of water used can be achieved.

図１〜図６に示すように、本発明は、洗濯機の給水装置及び洗濯機について開示する。洗濯機の給水経路には一方向連通装置が設けられている。前記一方向連通装置は、洗濯機の給水時に水圧を受けて開放され、給水完了後には閉止を維持する。本発明では、給水時にのみ洗浄槽と給水経路を連通し、乾燥等のプログラムを実行する際には給水経路と洗浄槽を遮断する。これにより、乾燥過程における熱損失や、給水経路に糸屑等の汚染物質が進入するとの課題が回避される。また、本発明の給水装置は、異なる給水経路から供給される洗浄水を受け付ける。且つ、タンクの流路分配室内の流路を用いて主給水と吸水ポンプとを並列接続することで、従来のような吸水ポンプのために独立して設置される給水弁を不要とする。本発明は、吸水ポンプを備える洗濯機と比較して、部品数が少なく、低コストであり、占有体積が小さい等の利点を有する。これにより、洗濯機は、風呂の残り湯等の別の水源を洗濯機の洗浄水として利用しやすくなり、使用水量を節約するとの目的が達せられる。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the present invention discloses a water supply device for a washing machine and a washing machine. A one-way communication device is provided in the water supply path of the washing machine. The one-way communication device is opened by receiving water pressure when the washing machine is supplied with water, and is kept closed after the water supply is completed. In the present invention, the washing tank and the water supply path are communicated only when water is supplied, and the water supply path and the washing tank are shut off when a program such as drying is executed. This avoids the problems of heat loss in the drying process and the entry of contaminants such as lint into the water supply path. In addition, the water supply device of the present invention accepts wash water supplied from different water supply routes. Moreover, by connecting the main water supply and the water absorption pump in parallel using the flow path in the flow path distribution chamber of the tank, it is not necessary to install a water supply valve independently for the conventional water absorption pump. The present invention has advantages such as a small number of parts, low cost, and a small occupied volume as compared with a washing machine provided with a water absorption pump. As a result, the washing machine can easily use another water source such as the remaining hot water of the bath as the washing water of the washing machine, and the purpose of saving the amount of water used can be achieved.
図１〜図６に示すように、本実施例は洗濯機の給水装置について開示する。当該洗濯機の給水経路には一方向連通装置が設けられている。前記一方向連通装置は、洗濯機の給水時に水圧を受けて開放され、給水完了後には閉止を維持する。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, this embodiment discloses a water supply device for a washing machine. A one-way communication device is provided in the water supply path of the washing machine. The one-way communication device is opened by receiving water pressure when the washing machine is supplied with water, and is kept closed after the water supply is completed.
図示するように、前記給水装置は給水経路と連通するタンク１を含む。前記タンク１は吐水口６１を有して洗濯機の洗浄槽と連通する。前記一方向連通装置は前記吐水口６１に装着されて、前記吐水口６１の開／閉状態の切り替えを制御する。 As shown in the figure, the water supply device includes a tank 1 communicating with a water supply path. The tank 1 has a spout 61 and communicates with the washing tub of the washing machine. The one-way communication device is attached to the spout 61 to control switching between the open / closed state of the spout 61.
本実施例において、前記一方向連通装置は吐水口６１に装着される一方向弁６２である。なお、図６に示す前記一方向弁の材質はゴムである。 In this embodiment, the one-way communication device is a one-way valve 62 mounted on the spout 61. The material of the one-way valve shown in FIG. 6 is rubber.
図５に示すように、本実施例の前記洗濯機には、洗浄槽と連通する乾燥モジュール１３が設けられている。前記乾燥モジュール１３は衣類の乾燥に用いられる。前記一方向弁６２は、衣類乾燥の実行時に洗浄槽内の空気が洗濯機の給水経路に進入するのを阻止するために用いられる。 As shown in FIG. 5, the washing machine of this embodiment is provided with a drying module 13 that communicates with a washing tub. The drying module 13 is used for drying clothes. The one-way valve 62 is used to prevent air in the washing tub from entering the water supply path of the washing machine when drying clothes.
当該給水装置は、タンク１とそれぞれ連通して個別に給水可能な第１給水経路と第２給水経路を含む。前記第１給水経路は吸水ポンプ２を含み、前記第２給水経路は前記吸水ポンプ２と連通する。本実施例において、第２給水経路は、水道の給水経路を通じて洗浄槽に給水するものである。 The water supply device includes a first water supply path and a second water supply path that can communicate with the tank 1 and supply water individually. The first water supply path includes a water absorption pump 2, and the second water supply path communicates with the water absorption pump 2. In this embodiment, the second water supply route supplies water to the washing tank through the water supply route of the tap water.
前記第１給水経路の吸水ポンプ２と第２給水経路はそれぞれタンク１と連通する。タンク１はタンク上蓋１１を含む。また、前記タンク１は流路分配室５を含む。前記流路分配室５には、前記吸水ポンプ２のポンプ室に水流を流入させるよう案内する第１流路５１が設けられている。これにより、第２給水経路と前記吸水ポンプのポンプ室との連通を実現している。 The water absorption pump 2 and the second water supply path of the first water supply path communicate with the tank 1, respectively. The tank 1 includes a tank top lid 11. Further, the tank 1 includes a flow path distribution chamber 5. The flow path distribution chamber 5 is provided with a first flow path 51 that guides the water flow to flow into the pump room of the water absorption pump 2. As a result, communication between the second water supply path and the pump chamber of the water absorption pump is realized.
前記吸水ポンプ２には吸水ポンプ導水口２１が設けられており、吸水ポンプ２の動作によって、別の水源からの水を洗浄槽に吸い込んで洗濯機の洗浄に利用することが可能となる。本発明では、当該吸水ポンプ２を使用し、吸水ポンプ導水口２１を家庭の浴槽と連通することで、風呂の残り湯を利用して洗濯を実施する機能を実現可能となる。これにより、洗濯機の使用水量が減少する。 The water absorption pump 2 is provided with a water absorption pump water inlet 21, and the operation of the water absorption pump 2 makes it possible to suck water from another water source into the washing tub and use it for washing the washing machine. In the present invention, by using the water absorption pump 2 and communicating the water absorption pump water inlet 21 with the bathtub at home, it is possible to realize a function of performing washing using the remaining hot water of the bath. This reduces the amount of water used in the washing machine.
本発明の洗濯機は、更に、前記吸水ポンプ２とは独立した給水経路を含む。本実施例において、当該給水経路は家庭の水道と連通し、給水弁９によって開閉制御が行われる。前記流路分配室５は、第１流路５１とそれぞれ連通する第１給水端５１１と第１吐水端５１２を有する。前記第１給水端５１１は洗濯機の給水経路と連通し、第１吐水端５１２は前記吸水ポンプ２のポンプ室と連通する。 The washing machine of the present invention further includes a water supply path independent of the water absorption pump 2. In this embodiment, the water supply route communicates with the domestic water supply, and the opening / closing control is performed by the water supply valve 9. The flow path distribution chamber 5 has a first water supply end 511 and a first water discharge end 512 that communicate with the first flow path 51, respectively. The first water supply end 511 communicates with the water supply path of the washing machine, and the first water discharge end 512 communicates with the pump chamber of the water absorption pump 2.
一般的に、吸水ポンプは動作の前に、ポンプ室に液体を充満させる呼び水を行わねばならない。そのためには、当該吸水ポンプのポンプ室に水流を流入させるよう制御する独立した給水弁が必要となり、呼び水作業の完了後にようやく吸水ポンプの正常な動作を開始可能となる。これに対し、本発明の第１流路５１は、吸水ポンプ２とは独立した給水経路と直接連通する。これにより、主吸水と吸水ポンプ２との並列接続が実現されるため、給水経路への給水と同時に吸水ポンプ２のポンプ室への潅水、即ち呼び水のプロセスも実現される。その結果、吸水ポンプは給水経路の開放後に迅速に起動可能となるため、従来のような吸水ポンプを起動するための呼び水に必要とされる独立した導水用の給水弁は省略される。よって、従来の吸水ポンプを備える洗濯機と比較して、部品数が少なく、低コストとなり、且つ占有体積が小さくなる。 In general, a water absorption pump must be primed to fill the pump chamber with liquid before operation. For that purpose, an independent water supply valve for controlling the flow of water into the pump chamber of the water absorption pump is required, and the normal operation of the water absorption pump can be started only after the priming work is completed. On the other hand, the first flow path 51 of the present invention directly communicates with the water supply path independent of the water absorption pump 2. As a result, the main water absorption and the water absorption pump 2 are connected in parallel, so that the process of irrigating the pump chamber of the water absorption pump 2 at the same time as supplying water to the water supply path, that is, priming is also realized. As a result, the water absorption pump can be started quickly after the water supply path is opened, so that the independent water conduction valve required for priming to start the conventional water absorption pump is omitted. Therefore, as compared with a washing machine provided with a conventional water absorption pump, the number of parts is small, the cost is low, and the occupied volume is small.
流路の導流作用をより良好に実現するために、図３に示すように、本実施例における流路分配室５の第１給水端５１１の設置高さは、前記第１吐水端５１２の設置高さよりも低くなっている。且つ、前記第１給水端５１１と前記第１吐水端５１２は、それぞれ前記流路分配室５の対向する両側に設けられており、前記第１流路が前記流路分配室を横断している。このような方式によれば、給水回路の長さを延長できるだけでなく、給水にエネルギーが緩衝する領域を提供可能となる。これにより、給水時の水流の衝撃が低減し、タンクへの水流進入後の流動性を低下させられるため、水流をより安定的に流路の導流方向に従って流動させることが可能となる。 As shown in FIG. 3, the installation height of the first water supply end 511 of the flow path distribution chamber 5 in this embodiment is set to the height of the first water discharge end 512 in order to better realize the flow conduction action of the flow path. It is lower than the installation height. Further, the first water supply end 511 and the first water discharge end 512 are provided on both sides of the flow path distribution chamber 5 facing each other, and the first flow path crosses the flow path distribution chamber. .. According to such a method, not only the length of the water supply circuit can be extended, but also a region where energy is buffered in the water supply can be provided. As a result, the impact of the water flow during water supply is reduced, and the fluidity after the water flow enters the tank can be reduced, so that the water flow can flow more stably according to the flow direction of the flow path.
言うまでもなく、第１給水端５１１の設置高さが前記第１吐水端５１２の設置高さよりも低くなっていることから、洗濯機の使用完了後には、第１流路５１の第１給水端５１１付近に水溜まりができる恐れがあり、これが衛生面での潜在的リスクとなり得る。このような状況の発生を回避するために、図３に示すように、本実施例では、第１流路５１の底部における第１給水端５１１付近に、前記第１流路５１内の第１給水端５１１付近の溜水を排出するための開口を開設している。前記開口は溜水排水口５１３である。溜水排水口５１３の断面は第１給水端５１１の断面よりも遥かに小さいため、第１流路５１内で水が流動する際に大量の水が漏れ出すことはない。一方で、洗濯機が給水を停止したあとは、当該溜水排水口５１３を通じて流路から当該箇所の溜水を排出可能となる。 Needless to say, since the installation height of the first water supply end 511 is lower than the installation height of the first water discharge end 512, the first water supply end 511 of the first flow path 51 is after the use of the washing machine is completed. There is a risk of puddles in the vicinity, which can be a potential hygiene risk. In order to avoid the occurrence of such a situation, as shown in FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, the first in the first flow path 51 is located near the first water supply end 511 at the bottom of the first flow path 51. An opening is opened for discharging the accumulated water near the water supply end 511. The opening is a reservoir drainage port 513. Since the cross section of the reservoir drainage port 513 is much smaller than the cross section of the first water supply end 511, a large amount of water does not leak when the water flows in the first flow path 51. On the other hand, after the washing machine has stopped supplying water, the accumulated water at the relevant location can be discharged from the flow path through the accumulated water drain port 513.
図１及び図４に示すように、前記タンクは、前記流路分配室と連通し且つ前記流路分配室の下方に位置する混水室６を更に含む。前記混水室６は、吐水口６１を通じて洗浄槽と連通し、分配室内の異なる流路からの水を、洗濯機での洗浄に使用するために当該吐水口６１を通じて洗浄槽６１に流入させる。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the tank further includes a water mixing chamber 6 that communicates with the flow path distribution chamber and is located below the flow path distribution chamber. The water mixing chamber 6 communicates with the washing tub through the spout 61, and water from different channels in the distribution chamber flows into the washing tub 61 through the spout 61 for use in washing with a washing machine.
図３に示すように、前記流路分配室５内には第２流路５２が更に備わっている。また、前記流路分配室５は、第２流路５２とそれぞれ連通する第２給水端５２１と第２吐水端５２２を有する。前記第２給水端５２１は第１流路５１と連通する。前記第２吐水端５２２は、前記流路分配室５の底部に位置する開口であり、前記混水室６と連通する。本実施例において、第２流路５２の役割は、第１流路５１と連携して給水経路から洗濯機への給水（本実施例では水道水）を実現することである。即ち、第１流路５１が給水経路から引き込む水流の流動方向には、第１吐水端５１２を通じて吸水ポンプのポンプ室に流入する方向と、第２流路５２を通じて混水室６から洗浄槽に流入する方向の２つが存在する。 As shown in FIG. 3, a second flow path 52 is further provided in the flow path distribution chamber 5. Further, the flow path distribution chamber 5 has a second water supply end 521 and a second water discharge end 522 communicating with the second flow path 52, respectively. The second water supply end 521 communicates with the first flow path 51. The second water discharge end 522 is an opening located at the bottom of the flow path distribution chamber 5 and communicates with the water mixing chamber 6. In this embodiment, the role of the second flow path 52 is to realize water supply from the water supply path to the washing machine (tap water in this embodiment) in cooperation with the first flow path 51. That is, the flow direction of the water flow drawn by the first flow path 51 from the water supply path is the direction in which the water flows into the pump chamber of the water absorption pump through the first water discharge end 512 and the direction from the mixed water chamber 6 to the washing tank through the second flow path 52. There are two directions of inflow.
図３に示すように、本実施例の前記第２吐水端５２２は、前記流路分配室５の底部に位置する開口であり、当該開口は下方の混水室６と直接連通する。同様に、第１流路５１における溜水排水口５１３も前記混水室６と連通しており、溜水を混水室６に排出する。溜水は、最終的に吐水口６１を通じて洗濯機の洗浄槽に進入する。 As shown in FIG. 3, the second water discharge end 522 of the present embodiment is an opening located at the bottom of the flow path distribution chamber 5, and the opening directly communicates with the lower water mixing chamber 6. Similarly, the accumulated water drain port 513 in the first flow path 51 also communicates with the mixed water chamber 6, and discharges the accumulated water to the mixed water chamber 6. The accumulated water finally enters the washing tub of the washing machine through the spout 61.
本実施例におけるタンク及び当該タンクを使用する洗濯機は、一般的な洗濯機と比較して、吸水ポンプで吸い込んだ風呂の残り湯等のその他の回収水を用いて洗濯機能を遂行可能なことが最大の利点である。そのため、本実施例の流路分配室５内には、吸水ポンプ２内の水をタンク１に流入させるよう案内する流路であって、前記吸水ポンプ２の排水口と連通する第３流路５３が更に設けられている。また、前記流路分配室５は、第３流路５３とそれぞれ連通する第３給水端５３１と第３吐水端５３２を有する。前記第３給水端５３１は前記吸水ポンプの排水口と連通し、前記第３流路５３の第３吐水端５３２は前記混水室６と連通する。図３に示すように、前記第３吐水端５３２は、前記流路分配室５の底部に開設される開口である。 Compared with a general washing machine, the tank in this embodiment and the washing machine using the tank can perform the washing function by using other recovered water such as the remaining hot water of the bath sucked by the water absorption pump. Is the biggest advantage. Therefore, the flow path distribution chamber 5 of the present embodiment is a flow path that guides the water in the water absorption pump 2 to flow into the tank 1, and is a third flow path that communicates with the drain port of the water absorption pump 2. 53 is further provided. Further, the flow path distribution chamber 5 has a third water supply end 531 and a third water discharge end 532, which communicate with the third flow path 53, respectively. The third water supply end 531 communicates with the drain port of the water absorption pump, and the third water discharge end 532 of the third flow path 53 communicates with the water mixing chamber 6. As shown in FIG. 3, the third water discharge end 532 is an opening provided at the bottom of the flow path distribution chamber 5.
本実施例において、第１吐水端５１２の断面は前記第３給水端５３１の断面よりも小さくなっている。これは、呼び水のための水量は多くはないが、吸水ポンプの運転開始後には排水口における水量が大きくなるからであり、実際に必要な水量に合わせて双方の断面を異ならせている。これにより、水管の材料が節約される。 In this embodiment, the cross section of the first water discharge end 512 is smaller than the cross section of the third water supply end 531. This is because the amount of water for priming is not large, but the amount of water at the drain port becomes large after the operation of the water absorption pump is started, and the cross sections of both are different according to the amount of water actually required. This saves water pipe material.
本実施例における前記第１吐水端５１２は、前記吸水ポンプ２のポンプ室と連通する水管である。前記流路分配室５の側壁には開口ａ７が設けられており、第１吐水端５１２が開口ａ７に接続される。前記第３給水端５３１は、前記吸水ポンプの排水口と連通する水管である。前記流路分配室５の側壁には開口ｂ８が設けられており、第３給水端５３１が開口ｂ８に接続される。前記開口ａ７と開口ｂ８は、前記流路分配室５における吸水ポンプ側寄りの同一の側壁に位置している。第３流路の役割は、別の水源からの水を吸水ポンプを通じて洗浄槽に案内するプロセスを実現することである。 The first water discharge end 512 in this embodiment is a water pipe that communicates with the pump chamber of the water absorption pump 2. An opening a7 is provided on the side wall of the flow path distribution chamber 5, and the first water discharge end 512 is connected to the opening a7. The third water supply end 531 is a water pipe that communicates with the drain port of the water absorption pump. An opening b8 is provided on the side wall of the flow path distribution chamber 5, and the third water supply end 531 is connected to the opening b8. The opening a7 and the opening b8 are located on the same side wall of the flow path distribution chamber 5 near the water absorption pump side. The role of the third channel is to realize the process of guiding water from another water source to the washing tank through a water absorption pump.
図１〜図４に示すように、本実施例は実施例１の補足である。本実施例において、前記第２給水経路は更に分岐給水経路を含む。即ち、図中の第１吸水分岐路３と第２吸水分岐路４を含む。前記第１吸水分岐路３は、前記タンク１を通じて前記吸水ポンプ２のポンプ室及び洗濯機の洗浄槽とそれぞれ連通する。また、前記第２吸水分岐路４は、タンク１を通じて洗濯機の洗浄槽と連通する。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, this embodiment is a supplement to the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the second water supply route further includes a branched water supply route. That is, the first water absorption branch path 3 and the second water absorption branch path 4 in the figure are included. The first water absorption branch path 3 communicates with the pump chamber of the water absorption pump 2 and the washing tub of the washing machine through the tank 1. Further, the second water absorption branch path 4 communicates with the washing tub of the washing machine through the tank 1.
前記流路分配室５内には、更に、前記第２吸水分岐路４からの水流をタンク１に流入させるよう案内する第４流路５４が設けられている。また、前記流路分配室５は、第４流路５４とそれぞれ連通する第４給水端５４１と第４吐水端５４２を有する。第４流路５４は添加剤室１２と連通している。前記第４吐水端５４２は、前記流路分配室５の底部における２つの丸孔であり、前記混水室６と連通して洗浄槽に添加剤を投入するために用いられる。図示するように、本実施例の添加剤は柔軟剤である。前記柔軟剤は、洗濯の最後のすすぎ中に前記洗浄槽に流し込むことで投入される。 In the flow path distribution chamber 5, a fourth flow path 54 is further provided to guide the water flow from the second water absorption branch path 4 to flow into the tank 1. Further, the flow path distribution chamber 5 has a fourth water supply end 541 and a fourth water discharge end 542 that communicate with the fourth flow path 54, respectively. The fourth flow path 54 communicates with the additive chamber 12. The fourth water discharge end 542 is two round holes at the bottom of the flow path distribution chamber 5, and is used to communicate with the water mixing chamber 6 to charge an additive into the washing tank. As shown in the figure, the additive of this example is a softener. The fabric softener is added by pouring it into the washing tub during the final rinse of washing.
柔軟剤の投入に必要な水量は洗浄用の水よりも遥かに少ない。よって、前記第１吸水分岐路３と第２吸水分岐路４は異なる給水口を有しており、前記第１吸水分岐路３の給水量が前記第２吸水分岐路４の給水量よりも大きくなっている。即ち、前記第１吸水分岐路３の給水口の断面は前記第２吸水分岐路４の給水口の断面よりも大きく、前記第４給水端５４１の断面は前記第１給水端５１１の断面よりも小さい。 The amount of water required to add fabric softener is much less than that of cleaning water. Therefore, the first water absorption branch path 3 and the second water absorption branch path 4 have different water supply ports, and the water supply amount of the first water absorption branch path 3 is larger than the water supply amount of the second water absorption branch path 4. It has become. That is, the cross section of the water supply port of the first water absorption branch path 3 is larger than the cross section of the water supply port of the second water absorption branch path 4, and the cross section of the fourth water supply end 541 is larger than the cross section of the first water supply end 511. small.
更に、給水装置は給水弁９を含む。前記給水弁９は、前記第１吸水分岐路３と第２吸水分岐路４の給水口と連通し、前記第１吸水分岐路３と第２吸水分岐路４からの給水を制御するために用いられる。 Further, the water supply device includes a water supply valve 9. The water supply valve 9 communicates with the water supply ports of the first water absorption branch path 3 and the second water absorption branch path 4, and is used to control the water supply from the first water absorption branch path 3 and the second water absorption branch path 4. Be done.
