Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide stable washing, rinsing and draining performance by providing a drain pump to be driven by a motor, for which the number of rotations is variable, and performing a draining operation again while increasing the rotating number of the motor when the level of water at the end of the draining operation is higher than a reference residual water level. SOLUTION: When an ordinary draining process is finished, a water level detecting means 13 detects the level of washing water in a washing tank 1 is detected again. At such a time, when the detected residual water level is between the residual water level of normal end and the lower face of a refuse filter 7, a controller 12 controls the ability of a drain pump 8 to be 1.5 times as high as the time of ordinary operation and performs the draining operation again for fixed time. In this case, concerning the improvement of draining ability of the drain pump 8, a DC brushless motor 9 is used as a motor for the drain pump 8. Therefore, the number of rotations of the motor can be easily increased and as a result, drain ability can be improved. Further, concerning durability, the specification can be sufficiently satisfied as well.

When the residual water level detected at this time comes between the residual water level at the normal end and the lower surface of the residual food filter 7, the control device 12 controls the capacity of the drainage pump 8 to be 1.5 times the capacity during normal operation. Then, the drainage operation is performed for a certain time again. Here, regarding the improvement of the drainage capacity of the drainage pump 8, since the DC brushless motor 9 is used as the motor for the drainage pump 8, the motor rotation speed can be easily increased, and as a result, the drainage capacity is increased. Can be improved. Furthermore, the durability also fully satisfies the specifications.

By the above-mentioned operation, for example, residual foods are excessively accumulated on the residual food filter 7 and the supply of washing water to the drainage pump 8 is reduced, or foreign substances adhere to the inner wall of the drainage passage 10 due to aging. The drainage path 10 is narrowed, the drainage hose 11 outside the machine is connected for a long time, the drainage hose 11 is set up at a high place and installed, or it is installed in a looped state. Even if the drainage capacity of the washing machine is lowered, the drainage failure does not occur because the sufficient drainage capacity can be obtained according to the configuration of the present invention. Therefore, stable rinsing performance can always be obtained, and as a result, high cleaning performance can be obtained without reattachment of residual foods on dish and detergent residue.

In the construction of the first embodiment, an example in which the drainage action is performed by the drainage pump alone has been described, but one pump performs two functions of cleaning and drainage, or three functions of cleaning, drainage and drying. It can be easily imagined that the same effect can be obtained in the configuration. Further, the amount of increase in drainage capacity may be set to 1.3 to 1.8 times in order to obtain the effect of the present invention sufficiently.

Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. The water level detection means 15 constantly detects the drainage flow rate during the normal drainage stroke and the water supply flowrate during the water supply stroke by the function of the control means, and the drainage flow rate is equal to or less than the water supply flowrate during the water supply stroke performed immediately before the drainage stroke. When it becomes, the control device 14 controls the capacity of the drainage pump 8 to be 1.5 times the capacity during normal operation and continues the drainage operation. Alternatively, if the last drainage operation is not the last of the drainage strokes that are normally performed in several steps, the same effect can be obtained by increasing the drainage capacity during the next drainage operation. Regarding this water level detection means, a method has been shown in which the control means obtains the flow rate based on the water level obtained by the water level detection means and the water level change time, but regarding the drainage flow rate detection, the flow rate detection means is installed in the drainage route. It is conceivable that a flow rate detecting means may be installed in the water supply route for the water supply flow rate.

Further, regarding the improvement of the drainage capacity of the drainage pump 8, since the DC brushless motor 9 is used as the motor for the drainage pump 8, the number of rotations of the motor can be easily increased. As a result, the drainage capacity can be improved. By this operation, for example, residual foods are excessively accumulated on the residual food filter 7 and the supply of washing water to the drainage pump 8 is reduced, or foreign substances adhere to the inner wall of the drainage path 10 due to secular change and the drainage path 10 The drainage hose 11 outside the machine is long, is installed upright at a high place, or is installed in a looped state. Even if the capacity is lowered, the structure of the present invention can obtain a sufficient drainage capacity, so that the drainage failure does not occur. Therefore, stable rinsing performance can always be obtained, and as a result, high cleaning performance can be obtained without reattachment of residual foods on dish and detergent residue.

The basic operation of the embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the first embodiment, and will be omitted. Next, the operation of the third embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. When the water level detection means detects the residual water level or the drainage flow rate and determines that the drainage is defective in the drainage process where the suspension and drainage operations are performed several times, the drainage capacity is increased only in the initial stage and then the normal drainage capacity is reached. Operates to decrease. And only if the drainage failure condition still occurs during the next drainage operation after the suspension,
Repeat the operation to increase the drainage capacity. This is because, for example, if foreign matter accumulated in the drainage hose is removed during drainage due to the improvement of drainage pressure, the drainage hose will discharge faster than usual, and especially the drainage hose sink sink. In the case of a tabletop dishwasher installed inside, it is possible to deal with the scattering of the wash water from the drain hose to the surroundings.
