Description
本發明係關於洗衣機，特別是有關可測定洗滌水之硬度的洗衣機。The present invention relates to a washing machine, and more particularly to a washing machine capable of measuring the hardness of washing water.
洗衣機(洗衣乾衣機)係為利用使用自來水來溶解洗劑的洗滌水，來進行衣類之洗滌運轉者。對洗衣機(洗衣乾衣機))供水的自來水係含有鈣或鎂等硬度成份。因為硬度成份與洗劑之主成份的界面活性劑結合，變成肥皂渣，使洗滌水中之界面活性劑量減少，成為洗淨力降低的原因。又，自來水的硬度因各地區而有所不同，並且會因季節而有改變。The washing machine (washing and drying machine) is a washing machine for washing clothes by using washing water using tap water to dissolve the lotion. The tap water supplied to the washing machine (washing and drying machine) contains a hardness component such as calcium or magnesium. Since the hardness component is combined with the surfactant of the main component of the lotion, it becomes soapy residue, and the amount of interfacial activity in the washing water is reduced, which is a cause of a decrease in detergency. Also, the hardness of tap water varies from region to region and varies depending on the season.
因此，即謀求一種考量到自來水的硬度，來執行洗滌運轉的洗衣機(洗衣乾衣機)。Therefore, a washing machine (laundry dryer) that performs the washing operation in consideration of the hardness of the tap water is sought.
在專利文獻1中所揭示的洗衣機，係在用來儲存洗滌水的外槽設有用來測定洗滌水之導電度一對的電極，從測定的洗滌水之導電度來換算洗滌水的硬度，根據洗滌水的硬度來執行洗滌步驟。The washing machine disclosed in Patent Document 1 is provided with an electrode for measuring the conductivity of the washing water in the outer tank for storing the washing water, and converts the hardness of the washing water from the measured conductivity of the washing water, according to The hardness of the wash water is used to perform the washing step.

[專利文獻1]日本特開2009-195737號公報[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2009-195737
但是，在專利文獻1所揭示的洗衣機，其一對的電極係從設於外槽的空氣處理室之底面，朝向外槽內突出般設置。所以，肥皂渣或棉絮等就可能堆積在一對的電極之間。However, in the washing machine disclosed in Patent Document 1, a pair of electrodes are provided so as to protrude from the bottom surface of the air processing chamber provided in the outer tub toward the outer tub. Therefore, soap or batting may be deposited between a pair of electrodes.
一旦肥皂渣或棉絮等堆積在底面的話，與洗滌水接觸之電極的表面積就會減少，無法正確測得洗滌水的導電度，也就無法正確換算洗滌水的硬度。When soap scum or batt is deposited on the bottom surface, the surface area of the electrode in contact with the washing water is reduced, and the conductivity of the washing water cannot be accurately measured, so that the hardness of the washing water cannot be correctly converted.
又，一旦棉絮等堆積在一對電極之間的話，在測定導電度時，電流是透過棉絮等來傳達，無法正確測得洗滌水的導電度，故無法正確換算洗滌水的硬度。Further, when the batt or the like is deposited between the pair of electrodes, when the conductivity is measured, the current is transmitted through the batt or the like, and the conductivity of the washing water cannot be accurately measured, so that the hardness of the washing water cannot be accurately converted.
因此，本課題即為提供一種可高精密測量用於洗滌之水的硬度(導電度)，能有效率地執行洗滌的洗衣機。Therefore, the subject of the present invention is to provide a washing machine which can measure the hardness (conductivity) of water used for washing with high precision and can perform washing efficiently.

如此一來，藉由將電極41，42配置成從側壁面朝向供水路徑35內突出，即使自來水中的殘渣等堆積在供水路徑35的底面，也可防止其直接堆積在電極41，42，故可進一步精確地檢測出導電度(硬度)。In this way, by arranging the electrodes 41 and 42 so as to protrude from the side wall surface toward the inside of the water supply path 35, even if the residue or the like in the tap water is deposited on the bottom surface of the water supply path 35, it can be prevented from being directly deposited on the electrodes 41 and 42. The conductivity (hardness) can be further accurately detected.
又，因為電極41，42係被設置在比洗劑供水電磁閥12a更朝向下游側(參照圖3)，在關閉洗劑供水電磁閥12a的狀態下，電極41，42不會被水淹沒，可防止電極劣化。Further, since the electrodes 41 and 42 are disposed on the downstream side (see FIG. 3) than the lotion supply solenoid valve 12a, the electrodes 41, 42 are not flooded by the state in which the lotion supply solenoid valve 12a is closed. It can prevent electrode degradation.
此外，針對自來水直接測量導電度，即可算出硬度。In addition, the hardness can be calculated by directly measuring the conductivity of the tap water.
如先前技術所示的發明文獻1所載，在外槽內設置電極的情形下，一旦前次洗滌時所使用的洗劑溶渣殘留在外槽內時，在供水時殘留的洗劑會溶解而改變水的導電度，可能導致對硬度的誤判。As disclosed in the first document of the prior art, in the case where an electrode is provided in the outer tank, once the lotion slag used in the previous washing remains in the outer tank, the remaining lotion at the time of water supply dissolves and changes. The conductivity of water may lead to misjudgment of hardness.
相對於此，本實施形態的洗衣機(縱型洗衣乾衣機)，係直接針對朝向外槽供水前的自來水檢測導電度，所以可防止因為洗劑的溶解殘渣所引起的水之導電度(硬度)的誤判，可更精確地算出水的導電度(硬度)。On the other hand, the washing machine (longitudinal washing and drying machine) of the present embodiment directly detects the conductivity of the tap water before the water supply to the outer tub, so that the conductivity of the water due to the dissolved residue of the lotion can be prevented (hardness). The misjudgment of the water can more accurately calculate the conductivity (hardness) of water.
再者，因為肥皂渣或棉絮等沒有堆積在電極間，所以可精確地檢測出用於洗滌之水的導電度(硬度)，意即，可更精確地算出水的硬度。Further, since soap slag or cotton wadding or the like is not deposited between the electrodes, the conductivity (hardness) of the water for washing can be accurately detected, that is, the hardness of the water can be more accurately calculated.
圖4(e)係為供水路徑單元之圖4(b)的E-E線剖面箭頭方向視圖。Fig. 4(e) is a view in the direction of arrows in the line E-E of Fig. 4(b) of the water supply path unit.
電極41，42係以連結一對電極41，42的線對於供水路徑35之水的流動方向呈平行的方式來配置。The electrodes 41 and 42 are arranged such that the lines connecting the pair of electrodes 41 and 42 are parallel to the flow direction of the water in the water supply path 35.
藉由以如此方式來配置電極41，42，防止變成只有一方的電極被水淹沒，而另一方的電極沒有接觸到水的狀態，而可預防導電度(硬度)的錯誤檢測。By arranging the electrodes 41, 42 in this manner, it is prevented that the electrode which becomes only one of the electrodes is flooded, and the other electrode is not in contact with the water, and erroneous detection of the conductivity (hardness) can be prevented.
再者，設有電極41，42之供水路徑35中的底面37，係以高於設有上游側之入水口31的供水路徑35中的底面38、以及設有下游側之出水口32的供水路徑35中的底面39般來形成。Further, the bottom surface 37 of the water supply path 35 provided with the electrodes 41, 42 is provided with a bottom surface 38 in the water supply path 35 higher than the water inlet 31 provided with the upstream side, and a water supply port 32 provided with the downstream side water outlet 32. The bottom surface 39 of the path 35 is formed as it is.
如後所述，因為是以電極41，42沒有接觸到水的狀態(開放狀態)之測定值為基準，相對地檢測出導電度，所以一旦電極的一方或雙方為接觸到水的狀態的話，所測得的電導度就有可能產生誤差。As will be described later, since the conductivity is relatively detected based on the measured value of the state in which the electrodes 41 and 42 are not in contact with water (open state), once one or both of the electrodes are in contact with water, The measured electrical conductivity is likely to produce errors.
因此，藉由使底面37高於底面38，39，在關閉洗劑供水電磁閥12a的狀態下，即使在供水路徑35中殘留水的狀態下，水也不會滯留在電極41，42附近，故可防止電極41，42接觸到水。Therefore, by lowering the lotion supply solenoid valve 12a with the bottom surface 37 higher than the bottom surfaces 38, 39, even if water remains in the water supply path 35, water does not stay in the vicinity of the electrodes 41, 42. Therefore, the electrodes 41, 42 can be prevented from coming into contact with water.
又，以上雖說明供水路徑單元30係由：洗劑供水電磁閥12a的供水路徑35、以及柔衣劑供水電磁閥12b的供水路徑36呈一體所形成，但是，供水路徑35與供水路徑36也可為個別形成。Further, although the water supply path unit 30 has been described above, the water supply path 35 of the lotion supply solenoid valve 12a and the water supply path 36 of the softener supply solenoid valve 12b are integrally formed, but the water supply path 35 and the water supply path 36 are also Can be formed individually.
此外，以上雖已說明一對的電極41，42係從供水路徑35的側壁面，朝向供水路徑35內，朝水平突出般來設置，但是不限於此，也可以是從供水路徑35的上壁面，朝向供水路徑35內，朝下方突出般設置。In addition, although the pair of electrodes 41 and 42 have been described as being protruded horizontally from the side wall surface of the water supply path 35 toward the water supply path 35, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be the upper wall surface of the water supply path 35. It is disposed in the water supply path 35 and protrudes downward.
又，在從上壁面來設置電極41，42的情形下，可配置成：從上面來看，與連結使供水路徑35內的水之流動方向、以及一對的電極41，42之線呈平行般配置，或者是呈直角般配置亦可。Further, in the case where the electrodes 41, 42 are provided from the upper wall surface, it can be arranged such that, in view of the above, the flow direction of the water in the water supply path 35 and the lines of the pair of electrodes 41, 42 are connected in parallel. General configuration, or a right angle configuration.
雖然供水路徑35的流路剖面如圖4(d)所示般，為略四角形，但是，不限於此，供水路徑35的流路剖面亦可為圓形。Although the flow path cross section of the water supply path 35 is a substantially square shape as shown in FIG. 4(d), the present invention is not limited thereto, and the flow path cross section of the water supply path 35 may be circular.
再者，當供水路徑的流路剖為圓形時，一對電極41，42以從比水平位置更上側，朝供水路徑內突出般設置為宜。Further, when the flow path of the water supply path is circular, the pair of electrodes 41, 42 are preferably provided so as to protrude from the upper side than the horizontal position toward the water supply path.
電極41，42的形狀雖為剖面呈圓形的圓柱狀，但不受限於此，其剖面亦可設置成四角形的四角柱狀。Although the shape of the electrodes 41 and 42 is a columnar shape having a circular cross section, the shape of the electrodes 41 and 42 is not limited thereto, and the cross section may be formed in a quadrangular prism shape.
＜硬度感測器＞<hardness sensor>
使用圖5來說明硬度感測器(導電度感測器)40。A hardness sensor (conductivity sensor) 40 will be described using FIG.
圖5係硬度感測器的功能圖。Figure 5 is a functional diagram of the hardness sensor.
一對的電極41，42係與線圈48a連接，形成共振電路48。線圈48a係與線圈49a磁性結合，線圈49a係與振盪電路49連接。The pair of electrodes 41, 42 are connected to the coil 48a to form a resonant circuit 48. The coil 48a is magnetically coupled to the coil 49a, and the coil 49a is connected to the oscillation circuit 49.
這些一對的電極41，42；線圈48a；線圈49a；以及振盪電路49係形成了硬度感測器(導電度感器)40。The pair of electrodes 41, 42; the coil 48a; the coil 49a; and the oscillation circuit 49 form a hardness sensor (conductivity sensor) 40.
振盪電路49係將相當於導電度(意即硬度)的訊號傳送到控制裝置100(參照圖2)的微電腦110。The oscillation circuit 49 transmits a signal corresponding to the conductivity (ie, hardness) to the microcomputer 110 of the control device 100 (refer to FIG. 2).
＜控制裝置＞<control device>
洗衣乾衣機1係如圖2所示，具備控制裝置100。有關控制裝置100，茲參照圖1至圖5，並使用圖6來詳加說明。The washer-dryer 1 is equipped with the control apparatus 100 as shown in FIG. The control device 100 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 and using FIG.
圖6係為說明第1實施形態之洗衣機(洗衣乾衣機)之控制裝置的構成的功能方塊圖。Fig. 6 is a functional block diagram showing a configuration of a control device for a washing machine (washing and drying machine) according to the first embodiment.
控制裝置100係以微電腦110為中心來構成。The control device 100 is configured mainly by the microcomputer 110.
微電腦110係具備：運轉模式資料庫111；步驟控制部112；轉速計算部113；衣類重量計算部114；硬度測定部115；以及洗劑量‧洗滌時間決定部116。The microcomputer 110 includes an operation mode database 111, a step control unit 112, a rotation speed calculation unit 113, a clothing weight calculation unit 114, a hardness measurement unit 115, and a washing dose/washing time determination unit 116.
微電腦110係從運轉模式資料庫111叫出由操作開關7a所輸入的運轉行程的運轉型態，具有啟動洗滌或/及乾衣的功能。步驟控制部112係具有根據從運轉模式資料庫111所叫出來的運轉型態，來運轉控制洗滌步驟、清洗步驟、脫水步驟、乾衣步驟之各步驟的功能。The microcomputer 110 calls the operation mode database 111 from the operation mode of the operation stroke input by the operation switch 7a, and has a function of starting washing or/and drying. The step control unit 112 has a function of controlling each step of the washing step, the washing step, the dehydrating step, and the drying step in accordance with the operation type called from the operation mode database 111.
在各步驟中，步驟控制部112係具有控制供水單元12、排水閥14的功能。又，步驟控制部112係具有以下功能：藉由馬達驅動電路121來驅動控制驅動裝置10的馬達10a；及藉由離合器控制電路122來切換離合器機構10b；及利用控制加熱器開關123的ON/OFF來控制加熱器22的通電；及藉由風扇驅動電路124來控制風扇21；以及藉由循環泵浦驅動電路125來驅動控制循環泵浦17。In each step, the step control unit 112 has a function of controlling the water supply unit 12 and the drain valve 14. Further, the step control unit 112 has a function of driving the motor 10a that controls the drive device 10 by the motor drive circuit 121, and switching the clutch mechanism 10b by the clutch control circuit 122, and by controlling the ON/ of the heater switch 123. OFF controls the energization of the heater 22; and controls the fan 21 by the fan drive circuit 124; and controls the circulating pump 17 by circulating the pump drive circuit 125.
轉速計算部113係具有：根據由檢測馬達10a之旋轉的旋轉檢測裝置28的檢測值，來計算馬達10a之轉速的功能。The rotational speed calculating unit 113 has a function of calculating the rotational speed of the motor 10a based on the detected value of the rotational detecting device 28 that detects the rotation of the motor 10a.
衣類重量計算部114係具有：根據由轉速計算部113所算出的轉速、以及馬達電流檢測裝置29的檢測值，來算出洗滌兼脫水槽8內之衣類的重量的功能。因為衣類重量增加，為了使洗滌兼脫水槽8旋轉的負荷變大，向馬達10a流入的馬達電流也必須變大，所以，可根據馬達10a的馬達電流與轉速來計算出衣類的重量。The clothing weight calculating unit 114 has a function of calculating the weight of the clothes in the washing and dewatering tank 8 based on the number of revolutions calculated by the number of revolutions calculating unit 113 and the detected value of the motor current detecting unit 29. Since the weight of the clothes is increased, in order to increase the load for rotating the washing and dewatering tank 8, the motor current flowing into the motor 10a must be increased. Therefore, the weight of the clothes can be calculated from the motor current and the number of revolutions of the motor 10a.
硬度測定部115係具有：使用來自硬度感測器(導電度感測器)40的檢測值，來測定自來水之硬度的功能。The hardness measuring unit 115 has a function of measuring the hardness of the tap water using the detected value from the hardness sensor (conductivity sensor) 40.

＜洗衣機的運轉步驟＞<Operation steps of the washing machine>
接下來，參照圖7來說明第1實施形態之洗衣機(洗衣乾衣機1)的運轉步驟。Next, an operation procedure of the washing machine (washing and drying machine 1) according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 7 .
圖7係為說明第1實施形態之洗衣機(洗衣乾衣機)的洗滌運轉(洗滌～清洗～脫水)之運轉步驟的步驟圖。Fig. 7 is a flow chart for explaining an operation procedure of a washing operation (washing to washing-dehydrating) of the washing machine (washing and drying machine) according to the first embodiment.
在布量感測步驟S1中，步驟控制部112係使洗滌兼脫水槽8旋轉，微電腦110的衣類重量計算部114針對注水前的衣類來計算布量。In the cloth amount sensing step S1, the step control unit 112 rotates the washing and dehydrating tank 8, and the clothing weight calculating unit 114 of the microcomputer 110 calculates the cloth amount for the clothes before the water filling.
在抽空配管內空氣的動作步驟S2中，步驟控制部112打開供水單元12的外槽供水電磁閥12d。In the operation step S2 of evacuating the air in the piping, the step control unit 112 opens the outer tank water supply solenoid valve 12d of the water supply unit 12.
在供水電磁閥12a，12b，12c，12d關閉的狀態下，在連接於供水管連接口4的管內係含有空氣。該空氣被水壓所壓縮，一旦打開供水電磁閥12a，12b，12c，12d，高壓的水壓開放成大氣壓力，自來水內的空氣會迅速膨脹吹出，恐怕會損壞設置在供水流路的機器，或者是在朝洗劑、柔衣劑的投入裝置11進行供水時，會發生把洗劑吹散的情形。In a state where the water supply solenoid valves 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d are closed, air is contained in the pipe connected to the water supply pipe connection port 4. The air is compressed by the water pressure. Once the water supply solenoid valves 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d are opened, the high-pressure water pressure is opened to atmospheric pressure, and the air in the tap water is rapidly expanded and blown, which may damage the machine installed in the water supply flow path. Alternatively, when the water is supplied to the putting device 11 for the lotion or the softener, the lotion may be blown off.
因此，步驟控制部112在打開於供水路徑內不設有感測器等的外槽供水電磁閥12d時，將被壓縮的空氣連同自來水一併朝外槽9內排出。Therefore, when the outer tank water supply solenoid valve 12d such as a sensor is not provided in the water supply path, the step control unit 112 discharges the compressed air together with the tap water into the outer tank 9.
在自來水硬度測定步驟S3中，首先，硬度測定部115在電極41，42沒有接觸到自來水的狀態(開放狀態)下，使硬度感測器40動作，檢測訊號。以該檢測值為初期值，之後相對地計算出導電度。In the tap water hardness measuring step S3, first, the hardness measuring unit 115 operates the hardness sensor 40 to detect the signal when the electrodes 41 and 42 are not in contact with the tap water (open state). The detection value is an initial value, and then the conductivity is relatively calculated.
步驟控制部112開啟洗劑供水電磁閥12a，將自來水朝供水路徑35內注水。之後，硬度測定部115使硬度感測器40動作，檢測訊號，測定自來水的導電度(硬度)。測定後再度使硬度感測器40停止。The step control unit 112 turns on the lotion water supply solenoid valve 12a, and injects tap water into the water supply path 35. Thereafter, the hardness measuring unit 115 operates the hardness sensor 40 to detect a signal and measure the conductivity (hardness) of the tap water. The hardness sensor 40 is again stopped after the measurement.
又，微電腦110係根據與開放狀態之導電度的變化，可檢測出設有電極41，42的供水路徑35是否被水淹沒，意即，可檢測出是否朝外槽9內進行注水。Further, the microcomputer 110 can detect whether or not the water supply path 35 provided with the electrodes 41, 42 is flooded by water according to the change in the degree of conductivity with the open state, that is, whether or not water injection into the outer tank 9 can be detected.
在預定時間(例如為電磁閥開放後2秒)導電度沒有變化的情形下，顯示器7b可顯示出不可供水的錯誤訊息，並通知使用者。In the case where the conductivity does not change for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds after the solenoid valve is opened), the display 7b can display an error message that the water cannot be supplied, and notifies the user.
以往，注水錯誤判定是根據：利用設於外槽9的水位感測器25，以在規定時間內(例如為15分鐘)，是否已注水達到規定的水位來加以判定。因此，使用者在關閉自來水的狀態下，即使操作洗滌運轉，到注水錯誤的判定為止仍要花上15分鐘左右的時間。Conventionally, the water injection error determination is based on the fact that the water level sensor 25 provided in the outer tank 9 determines whether or not the water has been filled to a predetermined water level within a predetermined time (for example, 15 minutes). Therefore, even if the user turns off the tap water, it takes about 15 minutes until the water injection error is judged even if the washing operation is operated.
相對於此，根據本實施形態的洗衣機(縱型洗衣乾衣機)，在打開洗劑供水電磁閥12a之後，在短時間(例如為2秒)內即可進行注水錯誤的判定。On the other hand, according to the washing machine (longitudinal washing and drying machine) of the present embodiment, after the lotion supply solenoid valve 12a is opened, the water injection error can be determined in a short time (for example, 2 seconds).
像這種藉由提早顯示出因為水龍頭關閉所引起的注水錯誤，可提醒使用者注意，故可防止洗滌時間的延長。Such an indication of the water injection error caused by the faucet being turned off early can be used to alert the user to the prevention of the washing time.
在洗劑量、剩餘時間顯示步驟S4中，洗劑量‧洗滌時間決定部116係根據衣類的布量以及自來水的硬度，將應投入的洗劑量、以及到洗滌完成所須的時間顯示在顯示器7b。In the washing dose and remaining time display step S4, the washing amount ‧ washing time determining unit 116 displays the washing amount to be supplied and the time required for the completion of the washing on the display 7b in accordance with the cloth amount of the clothes and the hardness of the tap water.
使用者依據所顯示的洗劑量來投入洗劑。The user inputs the lotion according to the displayed wash dose.
在此茲使用圖8以及圖9，進一步說明有關在洗劑量、剩餘時間顯示步驟S4的洗劑量‧洗滌時間決定部116。Here, the washing dose ‧ washing time determining unit 116 in the washing amount and remaining time display step S4 will be further described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9 .
圖8係為從自來水的硬度與水溫來決定洗劑量與洗滌時間的表。Fig. 8 is a table for determining the washing amount and the washing time from the hardness of the tap water and the water temperature.
洗劑量‧洗滌時間決定部116係如圖8所示，為重新記憶從水的硬度與水溫來決定洗劑量以及洗滌時間的表。The washing dose ‧ washing time determining unit 116 is a table for determining the washing amount and the washing time from the hardness of the water and the water temperature as shown in FIG. 8 .
在圖8中，係使用水的硬度之判定臨限值h1，h2；以及水溫的判定臨限值T1、T2，區分為9種狀態來判斷。In Fig. 8, the determination thresholds h1, h2 of the hardness of the water and the determination thresholds T1 and T2 of the water temperature are used to determine the nine states.
圖9係為從自來水的硬度測定來決定洗劑量、運轉時間的流程圖。Fig. 9 is a flow chart for determining the washing amount and the running time from the hardness measurement of the tap water.
洗劑量‧洗滌時間決定部116的硬度測定部115，係取得在自來水硬度測定步驟S3(參照圖7)中所測得的水之硬度(步驟S41)。The hardness measuring unit 115 of the washing amount ‧ washing time determining unit 116 obtains the hardness of the water measured in the tap water hardness measuring step S3 (see FIG. 7 ) (step S41 ).
洗劑量‧洗滌時間決定部116係利用：在步驟S41中所取得之水的硬度；以及被記憶在洗劑量‧洗滌時間決定部116的前次之洗滌運轉時的水溫；以及於圖8所示的表，來判斷洗劑量與洗滌時間(步驟S42)。The washing dose ‧ washing time determining unit 116 uses the hardness of the water obtained in step S41; and the water temperature stored in the washing operation of the washing amount ‧ washing time determining unit 116; and The table shown is used to judge the washing amount and the washing time (step S42).
因為自來水的水溫對於外氣溫度的變化僅有緩慢變化，所以，可以使用前次洗滌時的水溫來計算硬度。Since the water temperature of the tap water only changes slowly with respect to the change in the outside air temperature, the water temperature at the previous washing can be used to calculate the hardness.
又，設置洗衣機(洗衣乾衣機)，在最初的運轉時係使用初期值(例如為15度)。Further, a washing machine (washing and drying machine) is installed, and an initial value (for example, 15 degrees) is used in the initial operation.
在步驟S42中，當判斷為k0時，進入步驟S43，設定洗劑量為V0，洗滌時間為t0，顯示在顯示器7b。When it is judged as k0 in step S42, the routine proceeds to step S43, where the washing dose is set to V0 and the washing time is t0, and is displayed on the display 7b.
在步驟S42中，當判斷為k1時，提昇高於k0之狀態的洗淨力，進入步驟S44，設定洗劑量為V0，洗滌時間為短於t0的t1，顯示在顯示器7b。In step S42, when it is judged as k1, the washing power higher than k0 is raised, the routine proceeds to step S44, the washing dose is set to V0, and the washing time is t1 which is shorter than t0, and is displayed on the display 7b.
在步驟S42中，當判斷為k2時，提昇高於k1之狀態的洗淨力，進入步驟S45，設定洗劑量為少於V0的V1，洗滌時間為t1，顯示在顯示器7b。In step S42, when it is judged as k2, the washing power higher than the state of k1 is raised, and the flow proceeds to step S45, where the washing dose is set to V1 which is less than V0, and the washing time is t1, and is displayed on the display 7b.
再回到圖7，在洗劑溶解供水步驟S5中，首先，步驟控制部112開啟洗劑供水電磁閥12a，沿著外槽9供給洗劑與水。然後，步驟控制部112驅動循環泵浦17，用少量的水溶解洗劑，產生高濃度的洗劑溶液。Returning to Fig. 7, in the lotion dissolving water supply step S5, first, the step control portion 112 turns on the lotion water supply solenoid valve 12a, and supplies the lotion and water along the outer tub 9. Then, the step control unit 112 drives the circulation pump 17, and dissolves the lotion with a small amount of water to generate a high concentration lotion solution.
在槽旋轉供水步驟S6中，步驟控制部112一邊使洗滌兼脫水槽8、及/或旋轉翼8a旋轉，一邊驅動循環泵浦17，從棉絮去除裝置19將高濃度的洗劑溶液朝向洗滌兼脫水槽8內的衣類散布。In the groove rotation water supply step S6, the step control unit 112 drives the circulation pump 17 while rotating the washing and dewatering tank 8 and/or the rotary blade 8a, and directs the high-concentration lotion solution from the batt removing device 19 toward the washing. The clothes in the dewatering tank 8 are scattered.
在預洗步驟S7中，利用該高濃度的洗劑溶液來洗滌衣類。In the pre-washing step S7, the high-concentration lotion solution is used to wash the clothes.
在布質感測步驟S8中，首先，衣類重量計算部114計算出含有水之狀態的衣類的重量。然後，根據由布量感測步驟S1中所計算出之衣類的重量、以及在布質感測步驟S8中所計算出之含水的狀態之衣類的重量，來判斷衣類的布質(吸水性)。根據所判別之衣類的布質來控制以下的步驟。In the cloth quality sensing step S8, first, the clothing weight calculating unit 114 calculates the weight of the clothes containing the state of the water. Then, the cloth quality (water absorption) of the clothes is determined based on the weight of the clothes calculated in the cloth amount sensing step S1 and the weight of the clothes in the state of the water content calculated in the cloth quality sensing step S8. The following steps are controlled based on the cloth quality of the clothing to be discriminated.
當洗衣機在進行包含乾衣步驟的運轉時，在乾衣步驟中，為了將高溫的溫風吹向洗滌兼脫水槽內的衣類，洗滌兼脫水槽或者外槽、以及筐體內的空氣係呈被加溫的狀態。在該被加溫的狀態下，如果持續進行洗滌運轉的話，則被供應的水會被洗滌兼脫水槽或外槽等的熱度所加溫，而使洗滌步驟時的水溫上昇。藉由水溫上昇，來提昇洗劑的化學作用，提高洗淨力。When the washing machine is performing the operation including the drying step, in the drying step, in order to blow the high-temperature warm air to the clothes in the washing and dewatering tank, the washing and dewatering tank or the outer tank, and the air in the casing are added. Warm state. In the warmed state, if the washing operation is continued, the supplied water is heated by the heat of the washing and dewatering tank or the outer tank, and the water temperature during the washing step is increased. By increasing the temperature of the water, the chemical action of the lotion is enhanced and the detergency is improved.
因此，洗劑量‧洗滌時間決定部116係根據水溫來執行修正洗滌時間的控制。Therefore, the washing dose ‧ washing time determining unit 116 performs control for correcting the washing time based on the water temperature.
在此，使用圖10，進一步說明在洗劑量、水溫判定步驟S9的洗劑量‧洗滌時間決定部116。Here, the washing dose/washing time determining unit 116 in the washing amount and water temperature determining step S9 will be further described with reference to Fig. 10 .
圖10係為從外槽內的水溫來改變洗滌運轉時間的流程圖。Fig. 10 is a flow chart showing the change of the washing operation time from the temperature of the water in the outer tank.
在水溫判定步驟S9中，首先，洗劑量‧洗滌時間決定部116係利用溫度感測器26b(或者是溫度感測器26c)來檢測貯存在外槽9內之洗滌水的溫度(步驟S91)。In the water temperature determining step S9, first, the washing dose/washing time determining unit 116 detects the temperature of the washing water stored in the outer tub 9 by the temperature sensor 26b (or the temperature sensor 26c) (step S91). .
洗劑量‧洗滌時間決定部116判定：在步驟S91中所檢測的水溫是否為臨限值溫度T1以上(步驟S92)。The washing dose ‧ washing time determining unit 116 determines whether or not the water temperature detected in step S91 is equal to or greater than the threshold temperature T1 (step S92).
當水溫為T1以上時(在步驟S92為Yes)，洗劑量‧洗滌時間決定部116將略過正式洗滌步驟(S11)的指令傳送到步驟控制部112(步驟S93)。When the water temperature is equal to or greater than T1 (Yes in step S92), the washing dose ‧ washing time determining unit 116 transmits a command skipping the main washing step (S11) to the step control unit 112 (step S93).
當水溫未達T1時(在步驟S92中為No)，或者在步驟S93之後，洗劑量‧洗滌時間決定部116記憶水溫(步驟S94)。When the water temperature does not reach T1 (No in step S92), or after step S93, the washing dose ‧ washing time determining unit 116 remembers the water temperature (step S94).
又，該記憶的水溫在下次洗滌運轉時的步驟S42(參照圖9)中，可用來做為上次的水溫。Further, the stored water temperature can be used as the last water temperature in the step S42 (refer to FIG. 9) at the time of the next washing operation.
再回到圖7，步驟控制部112係配合在布量感測步驟S1中所算出的衣類之重量、以及在布質感測步驟S8中所判斷之衣類的布質，朝外槽9的內部供水(供水步驟S10)，旋轉旋轉翼8a，洗滌衣類(正式洗滌1步驟S11，正式洗條2步驟S12)。Returning to Fig. 7, the step control unit 112 supplies the weight of the clothing calculated in the cloth amount sensing step S1 and the cloth quality of the clothing determined in the cloth quality sensing step S8, and supplies water to the inside of the outer tank 9 ( In the water supply step S10), the rotary wing 8a is rotated, and the laundry is washed (main wash 1 step S11, official wash 2 step S12).
此外，步驟控制部112係進行使旋轉翼8a正反向交替旋轉，鬆散衣類的運轉(鬆散步驟S13)。Further, the step control unit 112 performs an operation of loosely rotating the rotary blades 8a in the forward and reverse directions (loose step S13).
步驟控制部112重覆數次的該正式洗滌步驟以及鬆散步驟(正式洗滌3步驟S14，鬆散步驟S15，正式洗滌4步驟S16、鬆散步驟S17)。The step control unit 112 repeats the main washing step and the loosening step several times (the formal washing 3 step S14, the loosening step S15, the formal washing 4 step S16, and the loosening step S17).
一旦正式洗滌完成，監視衣類的不平衡狀態，判斷是否要移行至脫水(平衡步驟S18)。Once the formal washing is completed, the unbalanced state of the clothes is monitored to determine whether or not to move to dehydration (balancing step S18).
步驟控制部112開啟排水閥14，將外槽9內的洗滌水排出(排水步驟S19)。排水完成後，步驟控制部112使洗滌兼脫水槽8旋轉，將含於衣類的水(洗滌水)脫出(脫水步驟S20)。The step control unit 112 opens the drain valve 14 and discharges the washing water in the outer tub 9 (draining step S19). After the completion of the drainage, the step control unit 112 rotates the washing and dewatering tank 8 to remove the water (washing water) contained in the clothes (dehydration step S20).
步驟制御部112關閉排水閥14，打開外槽供水電磁閥12d，朝外槽9供給清洗水。然後，持續使洗滌兼脫水槽8旋轉，驅動循環泵浦17，從棉絮去除裝置19將清洗水朝向洗滌兼脫水槽8內的衣類散布(旋轉灑水清洗1步驟S21)。The step control unit 112 closes the drain valve 14, opens the outer tank water supply solenoid valve 12d, and supplies the washing water to the outer tank 9. Then, the washing and dewatering tank 8 is continuously rotated, and the circulation pump 17 is driven to spread the washing water toward the clothes in the washing and dewatering tank 8 from the batt removing device 19 (rotating water washing 1 step S21).
步驟控制部112持續使洗滌兼脫水槽8旋轉，使循環泵浦17停止，將清洗水從衣類脫出(脫水步驟S22)。The step control unit 112 continuously rotates the washing and dehydrating tank 8, stops the circulation pump 17, and releases the washing water from the clothes (dehydration step S22).
步驟控制部112持續使洗滌兼脫水槽8旋轉，再次驅動循環泵浦17，從棉絮去除裝置19將清水朝向洗滌兼脫水槽8內的衣類散布(旋轉灑水清洗2步驟S23)。The step control unit 112 continuously rotates the washing and dewatering tank 8, and drives the circulation pump 17 again to spread the clean water toward the clothes in the washing and dewatering tank 8 from the batt removing device 19 (rotating water washing 2 step S23).
步驟控制部112使洗滌兼脫水槽8以及循環泵浦17停止，關閉排水閥14，將外槽9內的清洗水排出(排水步驟S24)。排水完成後、步驟控制部112使洗滌兼脫水槽8旋轉，將含於衣類的水(清洗水)脫出(脫水步驟S25)。The step control unit 112 stops the washing and dehydrating tank 8 and the circulation pump 17, and closes the drain valve 14 to discharge the washing water in the outer tank 9 (draining step S24). After the completion of the drainage, the step control unit 112 rotates the washing and dewatering tank 8 to remove the water (washing water) contained in the clothes (dehydration step S25).
步驟控制部112關閉排水閥14，開啟柔衣劑供水電磁閥12b，朝外槽9供給清洗滌(供水步驟S26)。The step control unit 112 closes the drain valve 14, opens the softener supply solenoid valve 12b, and supplies the cleaning to the outer tank 9 (water supply step S26).
步驟控制御部112在外槽9貯存清洗水的狀態下，使洗滌兼脫水槽8旋轉，攪拌清洗滌類(貯存清洗(攪拌)步驟S27)。The step control unit 112 rotates the washing and dehydrating tank 8 in a state where the washing water is stored in the outer tank 9, and agitates and cleans the washing type (storage washing (stirring) step S27).
貯存清洗一旦完成，監視衣類的不平衡，判斷是否移行至最後脫水(平衡步驟S28)。Once the storage cleaning is completed, the imbalance of the clothing is monitored, and it is judged whether or not the migration is to the final dehydration (balancing step S28).
步驟控制部112開啟排水閥14，將外槽9內的清洗水排出(排水步驟S29)。排水結束後，步驟控制部112使洗滌兼脫水槽8以高速旋轉，將含於衣類的水脫出(最後脫水步驟S30)。The step control unit 112 opens the drain valve 14 and discharges the washing water in the outer tub 9 (draining step S29). After the completion of the draining, the step control unit 112 rotates the washing and dewatering tank 8 at a high speed to release the water contained in the clothes (final dewatering step S30).
《第2實施形態》"Second Embodiment"
接下來，針對第2實施形態的洗衣機來加以說明。又，省略與第1實施形態共通之處的說明。Next, the washing machine of the second embodiment will be described. In addition, the description common to the first embodiment will be omitted.
第2實施形態的洗衣機不同於第1實施形態的洗衣機之處為：設有一對的電極之供水路徑的形狀。The washing machine of the second embodiment differs from the washing machine of the first embodiment in the shape of a water supply path in which a pair of electrodes are provided.
利用圖11來說明設有第2實施形態之洗衣機的電極的供水路徑。The water supply path of the electrode provided in the washing machine of the second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 11 .
圖11係說明第2實施形態之洗衣機(洗衣乾衣機)的供水路徑單元，(a)為正面圖，(b)為上面圖，(c)為(a)的C-C線剖面箭頭方向視圖，(d)為(a)的D-D線剖面箭頭方向視圖，(e)為(b)的E-E線剖面箭頭方向視圖。Fig. 11 is a view showing a water supply path unit of the washing machine (washing and drying machine) according to the second embodiment, wherein (a) is a front view, (b) is a top view, and (c) is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC of the CC line. (d) is the arrow direction view of the DD line cross section of (a), and (e) is the arrow direction view of the EE line cross section of (b).
設有第1實施形態之洗衣機的一對電極41，42的供水路徑35(參照圖4)，其不同於設有第2實施形態之洗衣機的一對電極41，42的供水路徑35(參照圖9)之處為：在電極41，42的下游側分別形成肋部51，52。The water supply path 35 (see FIG. 4) of the pair of electrodes 41 and 42 of the washing machine of the first embodiment is different from the water supply path 35 of the pair of electrodes 41 and 42 of the washing machine of the second embodiment (see FIG. 9) is that ribs 51, 52 are formed on the downstream sides of the electrodes 41, 42, respectively.
肋部51係形成在電極41的下游側，如圖11(c)所示般，形成：相對於電極41的長度方向，為大致相等的長度，又如圖11(e)所示，形成：相對於電極11的高度方向，一直到大約等於電極41之中心的高度為止。The rib 51 is formed on the downstream side of the electrode 41, and as shown in FIG. 11(c), is formed to have substantially the same length with respect to the longitudinal direction of the electrode 41, and as shown in FIG. 11(e), is formed: The height direction of the electrode 11 is up to approximately equal to the height of the center of the electrode 41.
此外，如圖11(c)所示，在底面37係具有對電極41的長度方向，不設有肋部51的區域。如此一來，可防止在肋部51，52之間滯留剩餘水。Further, as shown in FIG. 11(c), the bottom surface 37 has a region in which the rib portion 51 is not provided in the longitudinal direction of the counter electrode 41. In this way, it is possible to prevent the remaining water from remaining between the ribs 51, 52.
在供水開始前，空氣流入供水路徑35內。開啟洗劑供水電磁閥12a(參照圖3)，一旦朝供水路徑35內注水的話，供水路徑35內的空氣就會連同水一起被擠壓出。The air flows into the water supply path 35 before the water supply starts. The lotion water supply solenoid valve 12a (refer to Fig. 3) is turned on, and once water is injected into the water supply path 35, the air in the water supply path 35 is squeezed together with the water.
在此，因為被供給之水的流速，氣泡會滯留在：從電極41，42的下游側表面一直到下游。Here, the bubbles are retained in the flow from the downstream side surface of the electrodes 41, 42 to the downstream due to the flow rate of the supplied water.
一旦在電極表面產生這種氣泡的話，電極41，42與水的接觸面積減少，被測得之水的導電度(硬度)恐怕會有誤差。Once such a bubble is generated on the surface of the electrode, the contact area of the electrodes 41, 42 with water is reduced, and there is a possibility that the conductivity (hardness) of the measured water may be inaccurate.
針對此，即在第2實施形態之洗衣機的供水路徑35設置肋部51，52。In this regard, the ribs 51, 52 are provided in the water supply path 35 of the washing machine of the second embodiment.
發生在電極41，42之下游側的氣泡一旦接觸到肋部51，52，就會離開電極41，42，滯留在肋部51，52的下游側。因此，可防止電極41，42與水的接觸面積減少，可更精確地檢測出水的導電度(硬度)。When the bubbles on the downstream side of the electrodes 41, 42 contact the ribs 51, 52, they leave the electrodes 41, 42 and stay on the downstream side of the ribs 51, 52. Therefore, the contact area of the electrodes 41, 42 with water can be prevented from being reduced, and the conductivity (hardness) of water can be detected more accurately.
以上係以設置在設於供水路徑35之一對的電極41，42之下游的肋部51，52來做為第2實施形態的洗衣機來加以說明，但肋部51，52裝設位置不限於此。Although the ribs 51 and 52 provided downstream of the electrodes 41 and 42 provided in one pair of the water supply path 35 are described as the washing machine of the second embodiment, the position of the ribs 51 and 52 is not limited. this.
例如，也可以使肋部從供水流路的上壁面突出般形成。藉由如此來形成肋部，則水可能在設置有電極之供水流路的底部流動，可防止水在電極附近滯留。For example, the rib may be formed to protrude from the upper wall surface of the water supply flow path. By forming the ribs in this way, water may flow at the bottom of the water supply flow path where the electrodes are provided, and water may be prevented from staying in the vicinity of the electrodes.
以上，係使用具有洗滌兼脫水槽的旋轉軸為略呈垂直方向之縱型洗衣乾衣機來做為第1實施形態以及第2實施形態的洗衣機，來加以說明，但是不限於此，旋轉滾筒(洗滌兼脫水槽)的旋轉軸為略水平方向之滾筒式洗衣乾衣機亦可，或者是不具有乾衣功能的縱型洗衣機、或者滾筒式洗衣機亦可。In the above, a washing machine having a washing and dewatering tank having a vertical axis of rotation is used as the washing machine of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, but the washing machine is not limited thereto. The washing and drying machine (washing and dewatering tank) may be a drum type washing and drying machine which is slightly horizontal, or a vertical washing machine or a drum type washing machine which does not have a drying function.
此外，用來測定導電度(硬度)的一對電極，係以被設置在朝洗劑投入室供水的洗劑供水電磁閥12a之下游的供水路徑35者來加以說明，但不只限於此，亦可將電極設置在其他的供水路徑，例如：直接朝外槽供水的外槽供水電磁閥12d之下游的供水路徑(例如：流路12h)；或者是朝柔衣劑投入室進行供水之柔衣劑供水電磁閥12b之下游的供水路徑36；或者是朝設置在乾燥導管20之水冷除濕機構(無圖示)進行供水之冷卻水供水電磁閥12c之下游的供水路徑(例如：流路12g)。Further, the pair of electrodes for measuring the conductivity (hardness) are described as the water supply path 35 provided downstream of the lotion supply solenoid valve 12a supplied to the lotion supply chamber, but it is not limited thereto. The electrode may be disposed in another water supply path, for example, a water supply path downstream of the outer tank water supply solenoid valve 12d directly supplying the outer tank (for example, the flow path 12h); or a soft clothes for supplying water to the softener supply chamber a water supply path 36 downstream of the supply water supply solenoid valve 12b; or a water supply path downstream of the cooling water supply electromagnetic valve 12c for supplying water to a water-cooling dehumidification mechanism (not shown) provided in the drying duct 20 (for example, the flow path 12g) .
再者，用來測定水之導電度(硬度)的電極41，42，也可以被設置在外槽9的凹陷部9b(參照圖2)的側壁面，或者也可以被設置在下部連通管13(參照圖2)的側壁面或上壁面。Further, the electrodes 41, 42 for measuring the conductivity (hardness) of water may be provided on the side wall surface of the depressed portion 9b (refer to FIG. 2) of the outer groove 9, or may be provided in the lower communication tube 13 ( Refer to the side wall surface or upper wall surface of Figure 2).
藉由將電極41，42設置在側壁面或上壁面，可減少因為肥皂屑或棉絮堆積所引起的導電度發生誤差的情形。By providing the electrodes 41, 42 on the side wall surface or the upper wall surface, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of errors in conductivity due to the accumulation of soap dust or batt.
藉由將電極41，42設置在外槽9的底部，利用在抽空配管內空氣的動作步驟S2中(參照圖7)，檢測被注入之水的導電度(硬度)，可檢測自來水的導電度(硬度)，配合硬度而可控制運轉。By providing the electrodes 41, 42 at the bottom of the outer tank 9, the conductivity (hardness) of the injected water is detected by the operation step S2 of evacuating the air in the pipe (refer to FIG. 7), and the conductivity of the tap water can be detected ( Hardness), combined with hardness, can control operation.
此外，因為溶劑溶解於自來水，導電度會有所變化。意即，在清洗步驟時，檢測清洗水的導電度，與在洗滌步驟前所檢測之自來水的硬度做比較，則可測定清洗水中的殘留洗劑量，可判斷洗滌物的清洗是否已完成。In addition, since the solvent is dissolved in tap water, the conductivity changes. That is, in the cleaning step, the conductivity of the washing water is detected, and compared with the hardness of the tap water detected before the washing step, the residual washing amount in the washing water can be measured, and it can be judged whether the washing of the washing is completed.
