As shown in FIG. 2, the washing machine 1 mainly comprises a casing 10, a cover 11 covering the upper opening of the casing 10, an outer groove 12 disposed inside the casing 10, and an outer casing 12 for receiving The inner tank 13 of the laundry. In the present embodiment, in order to detect the ambient temperature, a temperature sensor 14 is disposed on the outer casing 10 (or other suitable position of the washing machine 1), and in order to detect the degree of soiling of the laundry, the inner tank 13 A turbidity detector (or turbidimeter) 15 is disposed on the inner wall surface, and since the detection principle of the temperature sensor 14 and the turbidity detector 15 is a conventional technique, and the focus of the present invention is not discussed, Therefore, I will not repeat them here. In addition, a controller 16 (or a control circuit) electrically coupled to the temperature sensor 14 and the turbidity detector 15 is further disposed inside the washing machine 1, which mainly controls the washing machine 1 to complete the entire laundry operation according to the control flow.

且如圖3所示,本實施例洗衣機1的運作行程主要依序為給水行程、洗衣行程、洗清行程、脫水行程及抑菌行程。其中洗清行程還包含第一次洗清行程及第二次洗清行程,且洗衣機1在第一次洗清行程中會投入奈米水離子,以去除衣物在洗清過程產生的異味,並在脫水行程中進行槽洗淨。而本實施例為了能根據衣物髒污程度及環境溫度變化,彈性調整洗衣機1進行槽洗淨以及投入奈米水離子的時間長度,使洗衣機1達到更佳的槽洗淨及抑菌效果,如圖1的步驟S1所示,首先控制器16控制溫度感測器14在洗衣行程之前,例如在給水行程中或給水行程之前偵測一環境溫度。接著,如圖1的步驟S2,於洗衣機1進行洗衣行程時,控制器16控制濁度偵測器15偵測洗衣機1的內槽13中的水的濁度並產生對應的一偵測值。然後,如步驟S3,控制器16根據溫度感測器14提供的該環境溫度以及濁度偵測器15提供的該偵測值,決定在第一次洗清行程中投入奈米水離子(nanoe)的時間,以及決定在脫水行程中進行槽洗淨的時間。As shown in FIG. 3, the operation stroke of the washing machine 1 of the present embodiment is mainly a water supply stroke, a laundry stroke, a washing stroke, a dehydration stroke, and a bacteriostatic stroke. The washing course further includes a first washing course and a second washing course, and the washing machine 1 inputs nano water ions in the first washing course to remove the odor generated by the washing process, and The tank is washed in the dehydration stroke. In this embodiment, in order to adjust the degree of soiling of the laundry and the change of the ambient temperature, the washing machine 1 can be elastically adjusted for the length of the tank washing and the input of the nano water ions, so that the washing machine 1 can achieve better tank washing and bacteriostatic effects, such as As shown in step S1 of FIG. 1, controller 16 first controls temperature sensor 14 to detect an ambient temperature prior to the laundry stroke, such as during a water feed stroke or a water feed stroke. Next, as shown in step S2 of FIG. 1, when the washing machine 1 performs the laundry stroke, the controller 16 controls the turbidity detector 15 to detect the turbidity of the water in the inner tank 13 of the washing machine 1 and generate a corresponding detection value. Then, in step S3, the controller 16 determines to input the nano water ion (nanoe) in the first washing course according to the ambient temperature provided by the temperature sensor 14 and the detection value provided by the turbidity detector 15. Time, and the time to determine the tank wash during the dehydration process.

舉例來說,當控制器16判斷環境溫度高於一第一預設值,例如夏季的通常溫度35℃時,則判定當下季節為高溫潮濕的夏季,待洗衣物上會留有較多汗漬、髒污及臭味,並使洗衣機1容易滋生黴菌。且如圖4所示,控制器16預先根據該偵測值將水的濁度分成0、1、2、3共4級,以對應表示水槽13中的衣物為乾淨、一般、髒污或極髒污,因此,如圖4的表1所示,控制器16將根據該偵測值(代表衣物髒污程度),在一第一時間(例如5分鐘)至一第二時間(例如10分鐘)的範圍內,正相關地調整投入奈米水離子的時間,例如當控制器16根據偵測值判定衣物為乾淨時,表示待洗衣物上留有較少汗漬、髒污及臭味,洗衣機1較不易滋生黴菌,則設定投入奈米水離子的時間為第一時間(5分鐘,最短),且當控制器16根據偵測值判定衣物為髒污時,表示待洗衣物上留有較多汗漬、髒污及臭味,洗衣機1較易滋生黴菌,則設定投入奈米水離子的時間為8分鐘(較長),而當根據偵測值判定衣物為極髒污時,表示待洗衣物上留有很多汗漬、髒污及臭味,洗衣機1很容易滋生黴菌,則設定投入奈米水離子的時間為第二時間(10分鐘,最長)。藉此,根據環境溫度及衣物的髒污程度,彈性地調整投入奈米水離子的時間,能使洗衣機10在第一次洗清行程中更有效地去除衣物上的髒污及異味,並防止黴菌產生。For example, when the controller 16 determines that the ambient temperature is higher than a first preset value, for example, a normal temperature of 35 ° C in summer, it is determined that the current season is a hot and humid summer, and more sweat will remain on the laundry. Dirty and odor, and make the washing machine 1 easy to mold. As shown in FIG. 4, the controller 16 divides the turbidity of the water into four levels of 0, 1, 2, and 3 according to the detected value in advance to correspondingly indicate that the laundry in the water tank 13 is clean, general, dirty, or extremely Dirty, therefore, as shown in Table 1 of Figure 4, the controller 16 will be based on the detected value (representing the degree of soiling of the laundry), at a first time (e.g., 5 minutes) to a second time (e.g., 10 minutes). Within the scope of the process, the time for inputting the nano water ions is adjusted in a positive correlation, for example, when the controller 16 determines that the clothes are clean according to the detected value, it indicates that there is less sweat, dirt and odor on the laundry, the washing machine 1 is less prone to mold, the time to set the input of nano water ions is the first time (5 minutes, the shortest), and when the controller 16 determines that the laundry is dirty according to the detected value, it means that the laundry is left on the laundry. If the washing machine 1 is more prone to mold, the time for putting the water ions into the nanometer is 8 minutes (longer), and when the laundry is extremely dirty according to the detected value, it means to be laundry. There is a lot of sweat, dirt and odor on the object. The washing machine 1 is easy to breed mold, then set the cast. Time deionised water nano second time (10 minutes maximum). Thereby, according to the environmental temperature and the degree of soiling of the laundry, the time for inputting the nano water ions is elastically adjusted, so that the washing machine 10 can more effectively remove the dirt and odor on the clothes during the first washing course, and prevent Mold is produced.

此外,當控制器16判斷環境溫度低於一第二預設值,例如冬季的通常溫度15℃時,則判定當下季節為低溫的冬季,或者判斷環境溫度界於第一預設值(35℃)與第二預設值(15℃)之間時,則判定當下季節為常溫的春、秋季,且因為在冬季及春、秋季,衣物上產生的汗漬、髒污及臭味較夏季少,因此洗衣機1在第一次洗清行程中投入奈米水離子的時間可以相對減少。所以如圖4的表2及表3所示,控制器16根據偵測值所對應的水的濁度,在第一時間(5分鐘)至一短於第二時間(10分鐘)的第三時間(例如8分鐘)範圍內,正相關地調整投入奈米水離子的時間,例如當根據偵測值判定衣物為一般時,則設定投入奈米水離子的時間為6分鐘,當根據偵測值判定衣物為髒污時,則設定投入奈米水離子的時間為7分鐘,當根據偵測值判定衣物為極髒污時,則設定投入奈米水離子的時間為8分鐘。In addition, when the controller 16 determines that the ambient temperature is lower than a second preset value, for example, a normal temperature of 15 ° C in winter, it is determined that the current season is a low temperature winter, or the ambient temperature is determined to be at a first preset value (35 ° C). When it is between the second preset value (15 ° C), it is determined that the current season is normal spring and autumn, and because in winter and spring and autumn, the sweat, dirt and odor generated on the clothes are less than in summer. Therefore, the time during which the washing machine 1 puts the nano water ions in the first washing course can be relatively reduced. Therefore, as shown in Table 2 and Table 3 of FIG. 4, the controller 16 is based on the turbidity of the water corresponding to the detected value, from the first time (5 minutes) to a third time shorter than the second time (10 minutes). Within the time (for example, 8 minutes), the time for inputting the nano water ions is positively adjusted. For example, when it is determined that the laundry is normal according to the detected value, the time for inputting the nano water ions is set to 6 minutes, according to the detection. When it is judged that the laundry is dirty, the time for inputting the nano water ions is set to 7 minutes, and when it is determined that the laundry is extremely dirty based on the detected value, the time for inputting the nano water ions is set to 8 minutes.

再者,當控制器16判斷環境溫度高於第一預設值時(35℃),由於台灣夏季濕熱,若衣物上產生的汗漬、髒污及臭味多時,將更容易導致內槽13的外壁面與外槽12的內壁面滋生黴菌。因此,如圖4的表1所示,控制器16亦根據該偵測值(代表衣物髒污程度),在一第四時間(例如2分鐘)至一第五時間(例如7分鐘)的範圍內,正相關地調整進行槽洗淨的時間,例如當根據偵測值判定衣物為乾淨時,則設定進行槽洗淨的時間為2分鐘(最短),當根據偵測值判定衣物為髒污時,則設定進行槽洗淨的時間為5分鐘,當根據偵測值判定衣物為極髒污時,則設定進行槽洗淨的時間為7分鐘(最長)。Moreover, when the controller 16 determines that the ambient temperature is higher than the first preset value (35 ° C), due to the hot and humid summer in Taiwan, if the sweat, dirt and odor generated on the clothes are excessive, the inner groove 13 is more likely to be caused. The outer wall surface and the inner wall surface of the outer tank 12 are mold-producing. Therefore, as shown in Table 1 of FIG. 4, the controller 16 also ranges from a fourth time (for example, 2 minutes) to a fifth time (for example, 7 minutes) according to the detected value (representing the degree of soiling of the laundry). Internally, the time for performing the tank cleaning is adjusted in a positive correlation. For example, when it is determined that the laundry is clean according to the detected value, the time for performing the tank cleaning is set to 2 minutes (shortest), and when the laundry is determined to be dirty according to the detected value When the tank cleaning time is set to 5 minutes, when it is determined that the laundry is extremely dirty based on the detected value, the tank cleaning time is set to 7 minutes (longest).

而當控制器16判斷環境溫度低於第二預設值(15℃)時,因為冬季的低溫亦容易使內槽13與外槽12滋生黴菌,故如圖4的表2所示,控制器16亦根據該偵測值,在第四時間(2分鐘)至第五時間(7分鐘)的範圍內,正相關地調整進行槽洗淨的時間。而當控制器16判斷環境溫度界於第一預設值(35℃)與第二預設值(15℃)之間時(即常溫的春、秋季),因此時氣候較乾燥,內槽13與外槽12較不易滋生黴菌,因此洗衣機1進行槽洗淨的時間可以相對減少。故如圖4的表3所示,控制器16可根據該偵測值,在第四時間(2分鐘)至一較第四時間(7分鐘)短的第六時間(例如5分鐘)範圍內,正相關地調整進行槽洗淨的時間。When the controller 16 determines that the ambient temperature is lower than the second preset value (15 ° C), since the low temperature in winter also easily causes the inner tank 13 and the outer tank 12 to mold, as shown in Table 2 of FIG. 4, the controller 16 also adjusts the time for performing the tank cleaning in a range of the fourth time (2 minutes) to the fifth time (7 minutes) based on the detected value. When the controller 16 determines that the ambient temperature is between the first preset value (35 ° C) and the second preset value (15 ° C) (ie, spring and autumn at normal temperature), the climate is relatively dry, and the inner tank 13 The mold is less likely to be contaminated with the outer tank 12, so the time for the washing machine 1 to perform tank washing can be relatively reduced. Therefore, as shown in Table 3 of FIG. 4, the controller 16 can be in the range of the fourth time (2 minutes) to a fourth time (7 minutes) shorter than the sixth time (for example, 5 minutes) according to the detected value. The time for the tank washing is adjusted in a positive correlation.

而如圖4的表4所示,當控制器16未收到溫度感測器14提供的環境溫度及/或濁度偵測器15的偵測值時,例如溫度感測器14及/或濁度偵測器15異常(故障或損壞)時,則如圖4所示,不論衣物髒污程度如何,控制器16將一致設定投入奈米水離子的時間為最短的第一時間(5分鐘),且一致設定進行槽洗淨的時間為最短的第三時間(2分鐘)。As shown in Table 4 of FIG. 4, when the controller 16 does not receive the ambient temperature provided by the temperature sensor 14 and/or the detected value of the turbidity detector 15, such as the temperature sensor 14 and/or When the turbidity detector 15 is abnormal (fault or damage), as shown in FIG. 4, regardless of the degree of dirtiness of the laundry, the controller 16 will uniformly set the time for inputting the nano-water ions to the shortest first time (5 minutes). ), and set the time for the tank cleaning to be the shortest third time (2 minutes).

藉此,洗衣機1即可根據控制器16的設定,在洗清行程中投入奈米水離子(nanoe),以及在脫水行程中進行槽洗淨,且其投入奈米水離子的時間及進行槽洗淨的時間與當下的環境溫度以及置於內槽13中的衣物的髒污程度相配合,使得衣物及洗衣機1的內槽13及外槽12皆可在洗衣過程中獲得最佳的洗淨及抑菌效果。Thereby, the washing machine 1 can input nano water ions (nanoe) in the washing course according to the setting of the controller 16, and perform tank washing in the dehydrating stroke, and the time for putting the water ions into the tank and performing the tank The cleaning time is matched with the current ambient temperature and the degree of soiling of the laundry placed in the inner tank 13, so that the inner tank 13 and the outer tank 12 of the laundry and the washing machine 1 can be optimally washed during the washing process. And antibacterial effect.

此外,為了進一步加強洗淨及抑菌效果,在上述步驟S3中,本實施例的控制器16還根據上述測得的該環境溫度及該偵測值,決定在脫水行程之後的抑菌行程中投入奈米水離子的時間,且其具體實施方式如同圖4及前面舉例所述,於此不再贅述。In addition, in order to further enhance the cleaning and bacteriostatic effect, in the above step S3, the controller 16 of the embodiment further determines the bacteriostatic stroke after the dehydration stroke according to the measured ambient temperature and the detected value. The time of inputting the nano water ions, and the specific embodiment thereof is as described in FIG. 4 and the foregoing examples, and details are not described herein again.
