有していた。DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the above-mentioned storage part in which the detergent is stored, the detergent is likely to be solidified, and particularly in the outlet part of the storage part where the water and moisture peculiar to the washing machine are easily exposed, the detergent is more easily solidified. On the other hand, it is difficult to find it, and therefore, even if the detergent hardens, it is likely to be left as it is, so that the detergent cannot be delivered smoothly, and at the outlet of the storage section, this is usually There is a problem that the lid provided so as not to be closed cannot be completely closed, and the detergent spills out and enters when it should not enter such as during rinsing or dehydration.

したことを特徴とする。In order to achieve the above object, in the washing machine of the present invention, the detergent is stored in the storage portion and is delivered by the coil rotated by the motor and supplied into the washing tub. The lid for opening and closing the outlet of the reservoir is provided so as to contact the tip of the coil when the lid is closed, and an electric circuit is formed through a contact portion between the lid and the tip of the coil. The solidification of the detergent at the outlet portion of the storage portion is detected by the contact and separation of the contact portions.
【０００７】この場合、コイルは、蓋との接触部を通じ

ができる。As described above, when the detergent hardens at the outlet of the reservoir, the lid that normally closes the detergent cannot be completely closed. Therefore, in this case, if the lid is provided so as to normally contact the tip of the coil, the lid does not contact the tip of the coil. Therefore, by forming an electric circuit through the contact portion, the contact portion functions as a switch, and it is possible to detect solidification of the detergent at the outlet portion of the storage portion by the separation thereof.

きる。Further, when the coil functions as a heater, the heat is absorbed by the detergent and is difficult to be transmitted to the other if the detergent remains in the storage portion in a predetermined amount or more. Easy to reach. Therefore, it is possible to detect the presence or absence of the remaining detergent in the storage unit by detecting those temperatures with the temperature sensor provided in the storage unit.

れる。Next, the operation of the above structure will be described. First, when the detergent is supplied, the motor 13 is energized and
The electromagnet 19 of the lid drive device 20 is energized, and the water supply valve 2
2 is energized. Of these, the coil 11 is rotationally driven by the motor 13 via the driving gear 14 and the driven gear 12, and the lid 15 is opened by the electromagnet 19 of the lid driving device 20 via the lever 18. The detergent 6 sent in the delivery section 10 of
And falls on the detergent receiver 21. Also, the water supply valve 22
Since water is poured from above onto the detergent receiving portion 21, the detergent 6 dropped on the detergent receiving portion 21 is supplied into the washing tub together with the water.

する。On the other hand, when the supply of detergent is completed,
The motor 13 and electromagnet 19 are cut off. Therefore, the rotational drive of the coil 11 is stopped, the lid 15 is closed,
The delivery of the detergent 6 is stopped. Further, the water supply valve 22 is cut off when the water level in the washing tub reaches the set water level, and the water supply is stopped.

必要性を知らしめる。On the other hand, the coil 11 is energized and cut off at intervals of, for example, 10 minutes under the condition that the tip portion 11b and the conductor 28 of the lid 15 are in contact with each other when the detergent is not supplied. If the tip portion 11b of the coil 11 and the conductor 28 of the lid 15 are not in contact with each other during the energization period, the coil 11
Is not energized and an incomplete closure of the lid 15 is thereby detected. The incomplete closure of the lid 15 is caused by the detergent 6 being solidified at the outlet 9 of the hopper 5, as described above. Therefore, the detection of the incomplete closure of the lid 15 is performed by the outlet 9 of the hopper 5. Is to detect the solidification of the detergent 6 in the hopper 5, and thus the detergent 6 at the outlet portion 9 of the hopper 5 is detected.
Since the solidification can be detected, the display unit 39 of the operation unit 3 is activated in response to the display, and the user is informed of the necessity of cleaning.

６の補充の必要性を知らしめる。Further, when the coil 11 is turned on and off, the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 36 rises and falls as shown in FIG. 3, but in a situation where the detergent 6 remains in the hopper 5 sufficiently, Since the heat generated is taken by the detergent 6 and is difficult to transfer to the other, the upper and lower limits of the rising and falling temperatures are high, and the upper and lower limits are small. On the other hand, in a situation where the amount of the detergent 6 remaining in the hopper 5 is small or absent, the heat generated by the coil 11 is less likely to be taken by the detergent 6 and is easily transmitted to the other, as shown in FIG. The upper and lower limits of the rising and falling temperatures are lower and the lower limits are lower, and the upper and lower widths are large. Therefore, by detecting these, the presence or absence of the remaining detergent 6 in the hopper 5 can be detected, and accordingly, in a situation where it can be determined that the detergent 6 does not remain in the hopper 5 by a predetermined amount or more, the operation unit Three
The surface device 40 of (1) is operated and displayed, and the user is informed that the detergent 6 needs to be replenished.

This prevents the temperature inside the hopper 5 from becoming abnormally high in combination with the heat generated by the coil 11 in a state of outdoor use in fine weather such as summer, and prevents deformation of the hopper 5.
