Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently perform cleaning by peeling attached metallic soap by providing a cleaning hose to clean an infrared ray transmission part connected to the pipe of a drain valve at one side of a water supply device, and forming the hole of the pipe in almost the tangent line direction of a minor diameter part of the drainage of the drain valve. CONSTITUTION:A turbidity detector 14 which emits and receives an infrared ray and detects the fouling degree of cloth from the transmission degree and the change rate of the ray is mounted at the drain valve 10, and thin thickness parts 15, 15' formed at the drain valve 10 are transmitted with the infrared ray. For example, when water is supplied to a water supply hose 28 and the cleaning hose 22 by operating a water supply valve 27 at the initial stage of a rinsing process, the drain valve 10 is opened only for constant time, and when the cleaning of the inside of the drain valve 10 and drain are performed, the water passing a pipe part 18 from the cleaning hose 22 runs along the minor diameter part 21, and efficiently cleans the thin thickness parts 15, 15' i.e., the infrared ray transmission part with few amount of water and peels the attached metallic soap since the hole 10 of the pipe part 16 is formed in almost the tangent line direction of the minor diameter part 21 of the drain valve path 20 of the drain valve 10.
