が終了することを報知する。 Next, the finishing agent injection function in the above configuration will be explained in particular. Now, the processing agent storage container 18 is in the first
Assuming that the processing agent storage container 18 is in the input standby position as shown in FIGS.
The engaging protrusion 22 of the electromagnetic device 31 and the plunger 3 of the electromagnet device 31
By engaging with the locking portion of 0, the processing agent storage container 1
8 is held against its own weight. In this case, since the lower end of the plunger 30 is fixed, the plunger 30 will not wobble in this locked state. In this state, in order to supply the finishing agent to the processing agent storage container 18, the lid member 26 is opened and rotated about its shaft portion 26a from the solid line position in FIG. 1 to the two-dot chain line position. This opens the opening 24. At this time, the return lever 27 rotates integrally with the lid member 26 from the solid line position to the two-dot chain line position in FIG. 23 is not displaced by pressure. When a single use amount of finishing agent is supplied into the guide case 25 using a cup or the like through the opening 24 opened by the lid member 26 as described above, this finishing agent is transferred to the guide case 25. 25 and falls into the processing agent storage container 18, where it is stored. Thereafter, when the opening 24 is closed by rotating the lid member 26 to the solid line position in FIG.
3 is returned to the back side of the operation panel 3, which is outside the rotation area of No. 3, that is, to the retracted position. After this, when the timer is set and the washing operation is started, the timer advances the process to washing, intermediate dehydration, and intermediate rinsing, and the water supply valve device 11 is energized in each process of washing and intermediate rinsing. Therefore, water is discharged from the water outlet pipe section 13 of the water supply valve device 11 onto the porous member 14, and most of the water passes through the water injection case 6 and is discharged from the water injection port 7 into the rotating tank 2. , the remaining part exits to the container storage part 5 through the water inlet 10,
From there, it is discharged into the rotating tank 2 via the water inlet 7. In this case, the water will not flow into the processing agent storage container 18. Now, when moving to a predetermined process in which a finishing agent is to be introduced, for example, a final rinsing process, the water supply valve device 11 is energized and starts pouring water into the rotating tank 2 as described above, and the electromagnetic device 31 When the energization time is set to a very short time, the electromagnet device 31 is instantaneously energized. By energizing the electromagnet device 31, the plunger 30 is instantaneously attracted to the drive coil 29 side (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 4), and as a result, the plunger 30
Since the locking part 32 of 0 is disengaged from the engagement protrusion 22 of the processing agent storage container 18, the processing agent storage container 18 is moved from the loading standby position shown in FIG. 1 due to its own weight to the position shown in FIGS. 3 and 6. It rotates to the input position, and the finishing agent inside is discharged into the rotating tank 2 from the discharge end 18a. In this way, when the processing agent storage container 18 is rotated to the input position, the vicinity of the discharge end 18a of the processing agent storage container 18 is located on the side of the lower end of the water inlet 10, so that the water injection case is closed. A portion of the water in 6 is guided to the outflow guide wall 21 through the water passage 10 and supplied into the processing agent storage container 18, and remains attached to the inner surface of the processing agent storage container 18 due to viscosity. The finishing agent is naturally discharged into the rotating tank 2 from the discharge end 18a so as to wash away the remaining finishing agent.
Note that the flow of water coming out of the water supply valve device 11 is indicated by arrows in FIG. Further, in this case, the electromagnet device 31 does not ring because the energization time thereof is instantaneous. When the processing agent storage container 18 reaches the input position as described above, the lever receiving portion 23 integrated therewith is also positioned within the rotation range of the return lever 27 as shown in FIG. Become.
Thereafter, when the washing process reaches the end time, the electromagnetic device 31 is energized for a short time and makes a sound to notify that the washing operation has ended.

ある。 In addition, at the next time of washing, as a preparation operation for adding the finishing agent, the lid member 26 is opened and rotated from the state shown in FIG. 6 as shown by the arrow in the same figure to bring it to the state shown in FIG. 5. The return lever 27 rotates forward from the position shown in FIG. 6 in the direction shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. Rotate clockwise in the figure. Therefore, the processing agent storage container 18 is rotated back to the loading standby position shown in FIG.
Plunger 3 in the original position return state shown by the solid line in the figure
0 and engages with the locking portion 32, that is, the processing agent storage container 18 is held at the input standby position. Therefore, if new finishing agent is supplied from the open opening 24 in this state, it will be discharged into the processing agent storage container 18 through the guide case 25 in the same manner as described above. 18
The locking portion 32 of the electromagnet device 31 holds the finishing agent in the standby state.
It is maintained until it is released by instantaneous energization.
