問題がある。Conventional Structure and Problems Conventionally, in the processing agent loading device of a washing machine, in order to automatically dispense detergent as a processing agent into the washing tub in a predetermined process, a detergent container for storing one load of detergent is used. There are some that are installed inside the washing machine so that it can be injected into the washing tub at predetermined intervals. However, this type of washing machine is inconvenient because it is necessary to measure the detergent and add it to the detergent container each time a washing operation is performed. In addition, the detergent container can store several doses of detergent, and an on-off valve and a flow control valve are installed in the path leading the detergent from the detergent container to the washing tub. There is a device that automatically dispenses detergent by changing the degree of opening of the on-off valve and opening the on-off valve at a predetermined timing for a predetermined period of time. However, according to this type of product, commercially available detergent stock solutions have different concentrations, so even if you control the amount of detergent according to the amount of water in the washing tub, it is not possible to match the concentration of the detergent stock solution. There is a problem that the concentration of the washing liquid in the washing machine is too high or too low, resulting in wasted detergent and poor cleaning performance.
また、洗剤容器に数回分の容量の洗剤が貯蔵でき、洗剤

うものがある。In addition, the detergent container can store several doses of detergent, and it is equipped with multiple measuring dispensers that measure the amount of detergent from the detergent container and add it to the washing tub. There are those that operate the dispenser, and those that control the amount of detergent dispensed by operating a control stick to change the flow rate of the dispenser.
しかしこの種のものによれば、構造が複雑になり高価な
ものとなるという問題がある。However, this type of device has the problem that the structure is complicated and expensive.
