在第3供水路33c設置有複數個與洗劑容置容器21連通的第3注水口36。通過複數個第3注水口36的水會被注水至位於下方的保養劑容置部24。A plurality of third water injection ports 36 communicating with the lotion storage container 21 are provided in the third water supply path 33c. The water passing through the plurality of third water injection ports 36 is injected into the maintenance agent accommodating portion 24 located below.

針對如以上所構成之滾筒式洗衣機1，以下說明其動作。 (洗滌運轉)With respect to the drum-type washing machine 1 configured as described above, the operation will be described below. (Washing operation)

Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram showing a path through which water flows down in the frame and lotion accommodating container of the washing machine in the first embodiment. Fig. 12 is a flowchart of the washing operation of the washing machine in the first embodiment.

使用者開啟門5將洗滌物投入旋轉滾筒4內，關閉門5並且操作操作顯示部15後，滾筒式洗衣機1的洗滌運轉便會開始。洗滌運轉開始後，便會偵測旋轉滾筒4內之洗滌物的量，並將因應了洗滌物的量之洗劑及保養劑的投入量顯示於操作顯示部15。另外，亦可不進行投入量的顯示。由使用者在洗劑容置部22投入洗劑，並在保養劑容置部24投入保養劑後，洗劑及保養劑便會在後述的時間點被投入水槽單元。After the user opens the door 5 and puts the laundry into the rotating drum 4, closes the door 5 and operates the operation display unit 15, the washing operation of the drum-type washing machine 1 starts. After the washing operation starts, the amount of laundry in the rotating drum 4 is detected, and the amount of detergent and maintenance agent corresponding to the amount of laundry is displayed on the operation display unit 15. In addition, the display of the input amount may not be performed. After the user puts the lotion into the lotion accommodating part 22 and puts the maintenance agent into the maintenance accommodating part 24, the lotion and the maintenance agent are put into the sink unit at the time described later.

洗滌運轉是以：洗衣行程(步驟S1)、第一次洗清行程(步驟S2)、第二次洗清行程(步驟S3)、最終洗清行程(步驟S4)、及最終脫水行程(步驟S10)的順序來進行。在洗衣行程(步驟S1)、第一次洗清行程(步驟S2)、第二次洗清行程(步驟S3)、及最終洗清行程(步驟S4)中，透過洗劑供給單元對水槽單元進行供水至預定水位的供水動作。The washing operation consists of: washing process (step S1), first cleaning process (step S2), second cleaning process (step S3), final cleaning process (step S4), and final spin-drying process (step S10) ). In the washing process (step S1), the first cleaning process (step S2), the second cleaning process (step S3), and the final cleaning process (step S4), the water tank unit is performed through the lotion supply unit Water supply action to supply water to a predetermined water level.

在洗衣行程(步驟S1)中，從供水部30對洗劑容置部22進行注水。已注水的水會與洗劑容置部22內的洗劑混合，並通過框體40、供水軟管26、及供水路徑27而送入水槽3內。In the washing process (step S1), the lotion accommodating part 22 is filled with water from the water supply part 30. The poured water is mixed with the lotion in the lotion accommodating portion 22, and is sent into the water tank 3 through the frame 40, the water supply hose 26, and the water supply path 27.

在洗衣行程(步驟S1)中的供水中，首先在預定時間之期間，第2供水閥會開啟。藉此，將從洗滌運轉開始前便附著於銀離子構件44的氧化銀沖掉。預定時間例如是15秒。經過預定時間後，使第2供水閥關閉並待機數秒鐘。在數秒鐘之期間，將第1供水閥及第2供水閥作成已關閉的狀態，藉此可以抑制水流入第3供水路33c。接著，第1供水閥開啟並從第1導入口31a朝供水部30導入水。流入供水部30的水如圖10A之箭頭a所示地通過第1供水路33a，而從第1注水口34朝洗劑容置部22落下。水會與洗劑容置部22內的洗劑混合並且在洗劑容置部22之內底面朝向後方流下，且如圖11之箭頭d所示地，從洗劑排出口22a朝框體40的框體內路徑40a流下。In the water supply in the washing process (step S1), first, the second water supply valve is opened during a predetermined time. Thereby, the silver oxide adhering to the silver ion member 44 before the start of the washing operation is washed away. The predetermined time is, for example, 15 seconds. After a predetermined time has elapsed, close the second water supply valve and wait for a few seconds. During a few seconds, the first water supply valve and the second water supply valve are closed, thereby preventing water from flowing into the third water supply channel 33c. Next, the first water supply valve is opened and water is introduced into the water supply unit 30 from the first introduction port 31a. The water flowing into the water supply part 30 passes through the first water supply path 33a as shown by the arrow a in FIG. The water will mix with the lotion in the lotion accommodating portion 22 and flow down from the inner bottom surface of the lotion accommodating portion 22 toward the rear, and as shown by the arrow d in FIG. The path 40a in the frame flows down.

在第一次洗清行程(步驟S2)中，也從供水部30對洗劑容置部22進行注水。由於洗劑容置部22內已經空了，因此已注水的水不含液劑而被送入水槽單元。In the first washing process (step S2), the lotion accommodating part 22 is also filled with water from the water supply part 30. Since the lotion accommodating portion 22 is already empty, the filled water contains no liquid and is sent to the sink unit.

在第二次洗清行程(步驟S3)中，從供水部30對保養劑容置部24進行注水。已注水的水會與保養劑容置部24內的保養劑混合，並送入水槽3內。在第二次洗清行程(步驟S2)中，第1供水閥與第2供水閥兩方會開啟。藉此，水會從第1導入口31a與第2導入口31b兩方流入，且如圖10C之箭頭c所示地，在匯流地點32中雙方會撞擊而流入第3供水路33c，並從第3注水口36朝保養劑容置部24落下。水會與保養劑容置部24內的保養劑混合並且在保養劑容置部24之內底面朝向後方落下，然後藉由虹吸機構24b吸起，且如圖11之箭頭e所示地，從保養劑排出口24a朝框體40的框體內路徑40a排出。In the second washing process (step S3), the maintenance agent accommodating portion 24 is filled with water from the water supply portion 30. The injected water will be mixed with the maintenance agent in the maintenance agent accommodating part 24 and sent into the water tank 3. In the second cleaning process (step S2), both the first water supply valve and the second water supply valve are opened. Thereby, water will flow in from both the first inlet 31a and the second inlet 31b, and as shown by the arrow c in FIG. The third water injection port 36 drops toward the maintenance agent accommodating portion 24. The water will mix with the maintenance agent in the maintenance agent accommodating portion 24 and fall down toward the rear on the inner bottom surface of the maintenance agent accommodating portion 24, and then be sucked up by the siphon mechanism 24b, and as shown by the arrow e in FIG. 11, The maintenance agent discharge port 24a is discharged toward the internal passage 40a of the housing 40.

在第三次洗清行程即最終洗清行程(步驟S4)中，第2供水閥會開啟(步驟S5)。所謂預定時間例如是12秒。藉此，流入第2供水路33b的水會如圖10B之箭頭b所示地，從第2注水口35朝銀離子單元42之上表面落下。水從開口43a進入銀離子單元42之內部，並通過銀離子構件44內使銀離子溶出。溶解銀離子而生成的銀離子水會從開口43b流出至銀離子單元42之外部。惟，如圖8所示地，由於開口43b形成為比開口43a更小，因此流入銀離子單元42的水變得難以流出至外部。因此，變得有少量的水殘留於銀離子單元42之內部。In the third cleaning process, that is, the final cleaning process (step S4), the second water supply valve is opened (step S5). The predetermined time is, for example, 12 seconds. Thereby, the water flowing into the second water supply channel 33b drops from the second water injection port 35 toward the upper surface of the silver ion unit 42 as shown by the arrow b in FIG. 10B. Water enters the inside of the silver ion unit 42 through the opening 43a, and passes through the silver ion member 44 to elute the silver ions. The silver ion water generated by dissolving silver ions flows out of the silver ion unit 42 from the opening 43b. However, as shown in FIG. 8, since the opening 43b is formed to be smaller than the opening 43a, it becomes difficult for the water flowing into the silver ion cell 42 to flow out to the outside. Therefore, a small amount of water remains inside the silver ion unit 42.

在經過預定時間後，第2供水閥會關閉，且在預定時間之期間停止供水(步驟S6)。所謂預定時間例如是60秒。在停止供水之期間，銀離子單元42內的水會將銀離子構件44所含有的銀離子溶出而成為銀離子水。藉由將步驟S6中的停止供水的預定時間設定成比步驟S5中的供水的預定時間更長，而可以提升銀離子的溶出效率。After the predetermined time has elapsed, the second water supply valve is closed, and the water supply is stopped during the predetermined time (step S6). The predetermined time is, for example, 60 seconds. While the water supply is stopped, the water in the silver ion unit 42 elutes the silver ions contained in the silver ion member 44 to become silver ion water. By setting the predetermined time for stopping the water supply in step S6 to be longer than the predetermined time for water supply in step S5, the elution efficiency of silver ions can be improved.

另外，停止供水並且同時使旋轉滾筒4旋轉驅動亦可。藉此，可以使銀離子水遍佈於洗滌物整體。又，藉由間歇地進行供水動作直至到達預定水位，伴隨供水動作的時間就會變得比通常更長，因此恐有讓使用者誤解成故障之虞，但藉由在停止供水之期間使旋轉滾筒4旋轉，就可以使其認知到洗滌運轉有正常進行。In addition, the water supply may be stopped and the rotating drum 4 may be rotated and driven at the same time. Thereby, silver ion water can be spread over the entire laundry. In addition, by performing the water supply operation intermittently until the predetermined water level is reached, the time required for the water supply operation becomes longer than usual. Therefore, the user may be misunderstood as a malfunction. By rotating the drum 4, it can be recognized that the washing operation is proceeding normally.

經過預定時間後，會判定是否已進行供水至預定水位(步驟S7)，若未滿足預定水位(步驟S7之否)，會再度進行預定時間之期間的供水(步驟S5)。此時，已注水至銀離子單元42的水會與銀離子單元42內的銀離子水混合，並從開口43b流出。從開口43b流出的銀離子水會如圖11之箭頭f所示地，從銀離子水排出口42a朝框體40的框體內路徑40a流下，並透過供水軟管26送入水槽3內。After a predetermined time has elapsed, it is determined whether water has been supplied to the predetermined water level (step S7), and if the predetermined water level is not met (No in step S7), water supply for the predetermined time period is performed again (step S5). At this time, the water poured into the silver ion unit 42 mixes with the silver ion water in the silver ion unit 42 and flows out from the opening 43b. The silver ionized water flowing out from the opening 43b will flow down from the silver ionized water outlet 42a toward the internal path 40a of the housing 40 as shown by the arrow f in FIG.

供水至預定水位後(步驟S7之是)，便會開始使旋轉滾筒4旋轉的洗清攪拌(步驟S8)。然後，在結束排水(步驟S9)及最終脫水行程(步驟S10)後，洗滌運轉便完成。After the water is supplied to the predetermined water level (Yes in step S7), washing and stirring for rotating the rotating drum 4 is started (step S8). Then, after the draining (step S9) and the final dehydration stroke (step S10) are completed, the washing operation is completed.

像這樣地，在本實施形態中，藉由對銀離子單元42間歇地供水就可以生成銀離子水，因此不用設置事先使銀離子構件浸漬於水中來生成銀離子水的機構亦可。因此，可以將銀離子單元42小型化。In this way, in this embodiment, silver ion water can be generated by intermittently supplying water to the silver ion unit 42. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a mechanism for generating silver ion water by immersing the silver ion member in water in advance. Therefore, the silver ion unit 42 can be miniaturized.

又，在最終洗清行程以外的行程中，都不對銀離子單元42注水，藉此可以防止過剩的銀離子溶出，因此可以提供低價的銀離子構件44。 (框體內路徑中的水的流動)In addition, no water is poured into the silver ion unit 42 in the course other than the final cleaning course, and thereby the elution of excess silver ions can be prevented, so that the low-cost silver ion member 44 can be provided. (The flow of water in the path inside the frame)

如圖11所示，洗劑之混合水、保養劑之混合水、及銀離子水會在框體40之內底面即框體內路徑40a流下而到達供水軟管26。如前述，由於銀離子水的供給是在洗劑之混合水的供給、及保養劑之混合水的供給之後進行，因此可以沖洗框體40之內底面來賦予抗菌作用。As shown in FIG. 11, the mixed water of lotion, the mixed water of maintenance agent, and the silver ion water will flow down the inner bottom surface of the frame 40, that is, the path 40 a in the frame, and reach the water supply hose 26. As mentioned above, since the supply of the silver ion water is performed after the supply of the mixed water of the lotion and the supply of the mixed water of the care agent, the inner bottom surface of the frame 40 can be rinsed to impart an antibacterial effect.

又，銀離子水排出口42a比洗劑排出口22a及保養劑排出口24a更位於後方且位於高處。藉此，銀離子水可以從框體內路徑40a中的上游位置來對洗劑之混合水及保養劑之混合水流動的路徑賦予抗菌作用。 (作用等)In addition, the silver ion water discharge port 42a is located at the rear and higher than the lotion discharge port 22a and the maintenance agent discharge port 24a. Thereby, the silver ionized water can impart an antibacterial effect to the path through which the mixed water of lotion and the mixed water of maintenance agent flow from the upstream position in the path 40a in the frame. (Function, etc.)

如以上所述，本實施形態中的滾筒式洗衣機1具備：殼體2；旋轉滾筒4，配置於殼體2之內部，並容置洗滌物；水槽3，旋轉自如地內包旋轉滾筒4；及洗劑供給單元，對水槽3及旋轉滾筒4供給洗劑等。洗劑供給單元包含：洗劑容置容器21；供水部30，對洗劑容置容器21注水；及框體40、供水軟管26、供水路徑27，將洗劑容置容器21收納成可取出放入，並且使已從洗劑容置容器21排出的液體到達水槽3及旋轉滾筒4。此外，在供水軟管26及供水路徑27之上游側，安裝有將銀離子溶出的銀離子單元42，銀離子單元42是形成為將銀離子水朝向框體40排出。As described above, the drum-type washing machine 1 in this embodiment includes: a casing 2; a rotating drum 4, which is arranged inside the casing 2 and contains laundry; and a sink 3, which rotatably encloses the rotating drum 4; And a lotion supply unit to supply lotion and the like to the water tank 3 and the rotating drum 4. The lotion supply unit includes: a lotion accommodating container 21; a water supply unit 30 that fills the lotion accommodating container 21 with water; Take out and put in, and make the liquid discharged from the lotion containing container 21 reach the water tank 3 and the rotating drum 4. In addition, on the upstream side of the water supply hose 26 and the water supply path 27, a silver ion unit 42 for eluting silver ions is installed, and the silver ion unit 42 is formed to discharge silver ion water toward the housing 40.

藉由該構成，在洗滌運轉中，由於透過洗劑供給路徑來對洗滌物供給銀離子水，因此對洗劑供給路徑賦予銀離子。因此，可以用簡易的構成對洗滌物賦予由銀離子所帶來的抗菌作用，並且將洗劑供給單元保持清潔。With this configuration, during the washing operation, silver ion water is supplied to the laundry through the lotion supply path, so silver ions are provided to the lotion supply path. Therefore, the antibacterial effect of silver ions can be imparted to the laundry with a simple structure, and the lotion supply unit can be kept clean.

再加上，藉由該構成，銀離子單元42可以在由供水部30所進行的供水行程中生成銀離子水，並將銀離子水送入水槽單元。因此，可以不構成為在供水行程前事先在銀離子單元42積存水，所以可以將銀離子單元42小型化。In addition, with this configuration, the silver ion unit 42 can generate silver ion water in the water supply process performed by the water supply unit 30 and send the silver ion water to the water tank unit. Therefore, it is not necessary to store water in the silver ion unit 42 before the water supply process, so the silver ion unit 42 can be miniaturized.

如本實施形態所述，銀離子單元42配置於洗劑容置容器21之後方內部亦可。As described in this embodiment, the silver ion unit 42 may also be arranged inside the back of the lotion containing container 21.

藉此，在洗劑容置容器21中，可以將銀離子單元42配置於難以從外部目視確認的位置，並且可以將投入洗劑或保養劑的部位配置於面前。因此，可以將使用者頻繁使用的部位配置於面前，操作性佳。Thereby, in the lotion accommodating container 21, the silver ion unit 42 can be arrange|positioned in the position which is difficult to visually confirm from the exterior, and can arrange|position the place where lotion or the maintenance agent was put in front. Therefore, the parts frequently used by the user can be placed in front of the user, and the operability is good.

如本實施形態所述，在洗劑容置容器21之內部獨立設置有：洗劑容置部22，容置洗劑；保養劑容置部24，容置保養劑；及銀離子單元容置部25，容置銀離子單元42，供水部30構成為可對洗劑容置部22、保養劑容置部、及銀離子單元容置部25各自獨立供水亦可。As described in this embodiment, the interior of the lotion accommodating container 21 is independently provided with: a lotion accommodating portion 22 for accommodating lotion; a maintenance agent accommodating portion 24 for accommodating a maintenance agent; and a silver ion unit accommodating The portion 25 accommodates the silver ion unit 42, and the water supply portion 30 is configured to independently supply water to the lotion accommodating portion 22, the maintenance agent accommodating portion, and the silver ion unit accommodating portion 25.

藉由該構成，由於可在需要銀離子水生成的時間點實施對銀離子單元42的供水，因此可以抑制銀離子過剩地溶出。With this configuration, since the water supply to the silver ion unit 42 can be performed at the time when the generation of silver ion water is required, it is possible to suppress the elution of silver ions in excess.

如本實施形態所述，具備：供水閥單元，與供水部30連接，並對供水部30供給自來水亦可。供水閥單元具有各自獨立設置成開閉自如的第1供水閥及第2供水閥，供水部30包含：第1供水路33a，連接於第1供水閥之下游，並在第1供水閥已開啟的狀態下將水供給至洗劑容置部22；第2供水路33b，連接於第2供水閥之下游，並在第2供水閥已開啟的狀態下將水供給至銀離子單元容置部25；及第3供水路33c，設置於第1供水路33a與第2供水路33b的匯流地點之下游，並在第1供水閥及第2供水閥已開啟的狀態下將水供給至保養劑容置部24亦可。As described in this embodiment, a water supply valve unit may be provided, which is connected to the water supply unit 30 and can supply tap water to the water supply unit 30. The water supply valve unit has a first water supply valve and a second water supply valve that are independently opened and closed. The water supply unit 30 includes: a first water supply path 33a connected downstream of the first water supply valve, and is opened when the first water supply valve is opened. Water is supplied to the lotion accommodating portion 22 in the state; the second water supply path 33b is connected to the downstream of the second water supply valve, and the water is supplied to the silver ion unit accommodating portion 25 when the second water supply valve is opened ; And the third water supply path 33c is set downstream of the confluence point of the first water supply path 33a and the second water supply path 33b, and supplies water to the maintenance agent container in a state where the first water supply valve and the second water supply valve are opened The placement part 24 is also possible.

藉由該構成，可以僅藉由第1供水閥及第2供水閥的開閉動作來選擇性地對第1供水路33a、第2供水路33b、及第3供水路33c供水。因此，可以不需要設置三個閥來作為供水閥單元，所以可以削減成本。With this configuration, it is possible to selectively supply water to the first water supply path 33a, the second water supply path 33b, and the third water supply path 33c only by the opening and closing operations of the first water supply valve and the second water supply valve. Therefore, there is no need to provide three valves as the water supply valve unit, so the cost can be reduced.

如本實施形態所述，具備：控制部，控制包含洗清動作之一系列的洗滌運轉，控制部在洗滌運轉中的最終的洗清動作中，開啟第2供水閥對銀離子單元42供水亦可。As described in this embodiment, it is provided with a control unit that controls a series of washing operations including a washing operation. In the final washing operation in the washing operation, the control unit opens the second water supply valve to supply water to the silver ion unit 42. Can.

藉由該構成，可以在使用了洗劑的洗衣動作與使用了保養劑的洗清動作結束之後，對洗滌物供給銀離子。因此，可以有效率地使用銀離子來抑制消耗量，所以可以減低銀離子構件之成本。With this configuration, it is possible to supply silver ions to the laundry after the washing operation using the detergent and the washing operation using the maintenance agent are completed. Therefore, silver ions can be used efficiently to suppress consumption, so the cost of silver ion components can be reduced.

如本實施形態所述，具備：控制部，控制包含洗清動作之一系列的洗滌運轉，銀離子單元42包含將銀離子構件收納於內部的外殼43，外殼43在上表面形成有複數個使水通過的開口43a，並在下表面形成有複數個開口43b亦可。控制部在洗清動作中，開啟第2供水閥對外殼43之上部供水亦可。As described in this embodiment, it is provided with a control unit that controls a series of washing operations including a washing operation. The silver ion unit 42 includes a housing 43 that houses a silver ion member inside. The housing 43 is formed with a plurality of The opening 43a through which water passes may have a plurality of openings 43b formed on the lower surface. During the washing operation, the control unit may open the second water supply valve to supply water to the upper part of the housing 43.

藉由該構成，已從供水部注水的水會從外殼43之上部滲透銀離子構件，並成為銀離子水而從外殼43下部排出。With this structure, the water poured from the water supply part penetrates the silver ion member from the upper part of the housing 43, becomes silver ion water, and is discharged from the lower part of the housing 43.

如本實施形態所述，在外殼43設置有卡脫自如地卡合於洗劑容置容器21的卡合部25c亦可。As described in this embodiment, the housing 43 may be provided with an engaging portion 25c that is detachably engaged with the lotion accommodating container 21.

藉由該構成，由於銀離子單元42是構成為對洗劑容置容器21裝卸自如，因此可以作為消耗品來更換。With this configuration, since the silver ion unit 42 is configured to be detachably attachable to and detachable from the lotion storage container 21, it can be replaced as a consumable.

如本實施形態所述，在外殼43之底部設置有在與銀離子單元容置部25之底面之間保持間隔的保持部亦可。As described in this embodiment, the bottom of the housing 43 may be provided with a holding portion that maintains a distance from the bottom surface of the silver ion cell accommodating portion 25.

藉由該構成，由於銀離子水是通過外殼43與銀離子單元容置部25之間的間隙而排出至框體40，因此在銀離子單元容置部25不會有水殘留。因此，可以抑制銀離子構件的溶出，所以可以減低銀離子構件之成本。With this configuration, since the silver ion water is discharged to the frame 40 through the gap between the housing 43 and the silver ion cell accommodating portion 25, no water remains in the silver ion cell accommodating portion 25. Therefore, the elution of the silver ion member can be suppressed, so the cost of the silver ion member can be reduced.

如本實施形態所述，銀離子單元42包含將銀離子構件44收納於內部的外殼，外殼形成有：供給水的開口43a、及排出水的開口43b，開口43b的開口面積構成為比開口43a的開口面積更小亦可。As described in this embodiment, the silver ion unit 42 includes a housing that houses the silver ion member 44 inside. The housing is formed with an opening 43a for supplying water and an opening 43b for discharging water. The opening area of the opening 43b is configured to be larger than that of the opening 43a. The opening area can be smaller.

藉由該構成，由於從銀離子單元42排出的水的量比對銀離子單元42供水的水的量更少，因此水容易殘留於銀離子單元42內，且銀離子容易藉由已殘留的水而被溶出。因此，銀離子單元42可以有效率地生成銀離子水並供給至水槽單元。With this configuration, since the amount of water discharged from the silver ion unit 42 is less than the amount of water supplied to the silver ion unit 42, the water is likely to remain in the silver ion unit 42, and the silver ions are likely to pass through the remaining The water is dissolved out. Therefore, the silver ion unit 42 can efficiently generate silver ion water and supply it to the water tank unit.

如本實施形態所述，具備：控制部，控制供水部30，控制部是藉由使第2供水閥間歇地開閉驅動，而供水至銀離子單元42亦可。As described in this embodiment, a control unit is provided to control the water supply unit 30, and the control unit may supply water to the silver ion unit 42 by intermittently opening and closing the second water supply valve.

藉由該構成，在對銀離子單元42的供水行程中，由於在銀離子構件44已沾濕的狀態下，預定時間之期間的供水會被停止，因此銀離子會溶出至已殘留於銀離子單元42內的水中。因此，在下次供水時，銀離子單元42內存在的銀離子水會與由供水所帶來的自來水一起從銀離子單元42排出。因此，本實施形態中的銀離子單元42可以供給濃度高的銀離子水。With this configuration, in the water supply stroke to the silver ion unit 42, the water supply for a predetermined period of time is stopped when the silver ion member 44 is wetted, so that the silver ions are eluted until they are left in the silver ions. The water in unit 42. Therefore, when the water is supplied next time, the silver ion water present in the silver ion unit 42 will be discharged from the silver ion unit 42 together with the tap water brought by the water supply. Therefore, the silver ion unit 42 in this embodiment can supply high-concentration silver ion water.

如本實施形態所述，控制部使供水部30間歇地驅動，以使停止時間變得比供水時間更長亦可。As described in this embodiment, the control unit may drive the water supply unit 30 intermittently so that the stop time becomes longer than the water supply time.

藉由該構成，由於銀離子溶出至已殘留於銀離子單元42內的水中的時間可以很長，因此可以供給濃度高的銀離子水。With this configuration, it takes a long time for the silver ions to elute into the water that has remained in the silver ion unit 42. Therefore, high-concentration silver ion water can be supplied.

如本實施形態所述，控制部在洗滌運轉中的洗衣行程中，對銀離子單元42進行預定時間之期間的供水亦可。As described in this embodiment, the control unit may supply water to the silver ion unit 42 for a predetermined period of time during the washing process during the washing operation.

藉由該構成，由於在洗滌運轉開始時，可以將從銀離子構件44所產生的氧化銀沖掉，因此可以抑止氧化銀附著於洗滌物而產生發黑。 (其他實施形態)With this configuration, since the silver oxide generated from the silver ion member 44 can be washed away at the start of the washing operation, it is possible to prevent the silver oxide from adhering to the laundry and causing blackening. (Other embodiments)

如以上所述，作為本揭示中的技術之例示，說明了第1實施形態。然而，本揭示中的技術並不受限於此。As described above, the first embodiment has been described as an example of the technique in this disclosure. However, the technology in this disclosure is not limited to this.

因此，以下例示其他實施形態。Therefore, other embodiments are exemplified below.

在第1實施形態中，作為洗衣機之一例，說明了滾筒式洗衣機。洗衣機只要是可以將洗滌物水洗之物即可。因此，洗衣機並不限定於滾筒式洗衣機，亦可為雙槽式洗衣機或直立式洗衣機。又，在第1實施形態中，說明了具備乾燥功能之洗衣機，但亦可不具備乾燥功能。In the first embodiment, a drum type washing machine has been described as an example of the washing machine. The washing machine should just be a thing that can wash laundry with water. Therefore, the washing machine is not limited to a drum-type washing machine, and may be a double-tank washing machine or an upright washing machine. In addition, in the first embodiment, a washing machine with a drying function has been described, but the drying function may not be provided.

在第1實施形態中，作為銀離子單元之一例，說明了藉由外殼43及銀離子構件所構成的銀離子單元42。由於銀離子單元只要會溶出銀離子即可，因此並不限定於藉由外殼43及銀離子構件所構成的態樣。銀離子單元可為例如平板狀，亦可為直接投入銀離子單元容置部的粒狀之物。In the first embodiment, as an example of the silver ion unit, the silver ion unit 42 constituted by the housing 43 and the silver ion member has been described. Since the silver ion unit only needs to elute silver ions, it is not limited to the aspect constituted by the housing 43 and the silver ion member. The silver ion unit may be, for example, in the shape of a flat plate, or may be a granular substance directly injected into the accommodating part of the silver ion unit.

本揭示可適用於使用水來進行洗滌之洗衣機。具體而言，本揭示可適用於直立式洗衣機、滾筒式洗衣機、雙槽式洗衣機等。The present disclosure can be applied to washing machines that use water for washing. Specifically, the present disclosure can be applied to an upright washing machine, a drum washing machine, a two-tank washing machine, and the like.
