れている。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, fully automatic washing machines that automatically perform a series of washing, rinsing, and dehydrating processes have become popular. More recently, fully automatic washing machines have been developed that use sensors to automatically determine the amount of laundry and supply water to the amount optimal for that amount. However, just like in regular washing machines, detergent is manually added by measuring it with a measuring cup or other device, which is not only inefficient but also may result in too much or too little detergent. Automation is desired.

Those disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 48-60482 are known. These are equipped with a detergent injection mechanism using an impeller, screw conveyor, etc. at the bottom of a container that stores detergent, and these are manually rotated to meter out the detergent. In addition, in order to automatically add the appropriate amount of detergent depending on the amount of water, it is also possible to automatically drive the dosing device. In these automated detergent dispensing devices, the amount of detergent dispensed is generally adjusted by controlling the drive time or speed of an impeller, screw conveyor, etc. in order to automatically dispense the appropriate amount. In addition, in order to prevent discoloration and deterioration of the clothes due to direct contact with the detergent, the detergent dispensing means 3 also dispenses detergent onto the water supply path 2 of the water supply means 1, as shown in FIG. It is considered that the detergent 4 is dissolved in water and then added.

に溢水を起こしてしまうという問題があった。Problems to be Solved by the Invention In a washing machine configured to automatically dispense detergent as described above, the time required to dispense detergent is usually set to be shorter than the time required to supply water, and detergent may continue to be dispensed even after water supply is complete. This prevents detergent from remaining on the water supply path. However, in the case where water has already been supplied, for example, when water is supplied by a bath pump or the like, water is not supplied and only detergent is added, resulting in detergent remaining on the water supply path. Therefore, in order to avoid this, water supply is continued while detergent is being added even if the required water level has been reached. However, in such a washing machine, even if water has been supplied in advance and the drain hose is clogged or forgotten to be turned down, water will be supplied to add detergent, resulting in overflow. There was a problem with putting it away.
本発明はこのような従来の問題を解消するものであり、
洗剤投入のために溢水がないようにした洗濯機を提供し
うるものである。The present invention solves these conventional problems,
It is possible to provide a washing machine that prevents water from overflowing when adding detergent.

In addition, when the water level detection means detects a water level below a predetermined amount from the overflow water level, the water supply means is stopped and the notification means is driven. It also provides notification and stops the progress of washing.

１７上に洗剤が残ることはないようにしている。16 is a drainage hose. 16 is a water supply means, 17 is a water supply route, and a detergent injection means 6 is provided on the water supply route 17. 18 is a water level detection means for detecting the amount of water in the tank 19, and 2o is an LE provided on the top surface of the main body 6.
Notifying means such as D, 21 is a washing and dehydrating tank inside the tank 19. The control means 14 controls each of the means. In other words, the amount of water at standard water level is 6of! For the minimum water supply time of about 2 minutes, the detergent supply time of the detergent supply means 6 is set to 1 minute, and detergent supply is usually completed during water supply, so that no detergent remains on the water supply path 17. There is.

るものである。In a washing machine configured as described above, even if water has been supplied in advance and the drain hose 16 is clogged or the drain hose 15 is forgotten to be turned down (the state shown in Fig. 1, 16'), the water supply for adding detergent is not completed. Therefore, even if the water level rises,
When the water level reaches a predetermined amount below the overflow water level, water supply can be stopped and an abnormality can be notified. This makes it possible to remind the user of the washing machine to be careful about cleaning and folding the drain hose, and to prevent water from overflowing.
