下述专利文献1中所记载的洗衣机包括:主体;外筒,配置于主体内;旋转滚筒,配置于外筒内并容纳洗涤物;供水阀,在主体内配置于外筒的后方;供水路径,连接外筒和供水阀;金属离子产生部,设于供水路径中;循环泵,与外筒的下部连接;以及循环软管,从循环泵向外筒的上部延伸。在该洗衣机中,在最终漂洗过程之后,供水阀开启且循环泵工作,旋转滚筒缓慢旋转。于是,由金属离子产生部产生的金属离子溶于在供水路径流动的水从而成为处理水并被供给至外筒之后,该处理水会流到循环软管并从外筒的上部喷向旋转滚筒内的洗涤物。由此,作为洗净对象物的洗涤物被除菌和除臭。The washing machine described in the following Patent Document 1 includes: a main body; an outer tub arranged in the main body; a rotating drum arranged in the outer tub to accommodate laundry; a water supply valve arranged in the main body behind the outer tub; a water supply path , connecting the outer cylinder and the water supply valve; the metal ion generating part is arranged in the water supply path; the circulation pump is connected with the lower part of the outer cylinder; and the circulation hose extends from the circulation pump to the upper part of the outer cylinder. In this washing machine, after the final rinsing process, the water supply valve is opened and the circulation pump is operated, and the rotary drum rotates slowly. Then, the metal ions generated by the metal ion generator are dissolved in the water flowing in the water supply path to become treated water and supplied to the outer cylinder, and the treated water flows to the circulation hose and is sprayed from the upper part of the outer cylinder to the rotary drum. laundry inside. Thereby, the laundry which is a cleaning object is sterilized and deodorized.
在如专利文献1的洗衣机那样在供水时一边生成处理水一边喷向洗净对象物的情况下,因金属离子溶于水的时间短而处理水的浓度低,因此难以提高处理水对洗净对象物的处理效果。此外,即使将处理水喷向最终漂洗过程后的处于湿润状态下的洗净对象物,处理水对洗净对象物的处理效果也还是低,在之后的脱水过程中处理水会从洗净对象物中被去除,由此,处理效果可能会进一步降低。In the case of the washing machine of Patent Document 1, when water is supplied while generating treated water and spraying it to the object to be cleaned, the concentration of the treated water is low because the time for metal ions to dissolve in water is short, so it is difficult to improve the effect of treated water on washing. The processing effect of the object. In addition, even if the treated water is sprayed on the wet object after the final rinsing process, the treatment effect of the treated water on the object to be cleaned is still low, and the treated water will flow from the object to be cleaned in the subsequent dehydration process. are removed from the material, and thus, the treatment effect may be further reduced.

The upper surface of the bottom wall 21A and the inner peripheral surface of the side wall 21B constitute the inner surface portion of the case 21 .
在顶壁21D设有在上下方向Z上贯通顶壁21D的装填口21E和对装填口21E进行打开/关闭的盖21F。在盖21F的下表面设有向下方Z2突出的肋状的按压构件21G。在箱体2的顶壁2D设有用于接入盖21F的开口2E(参照图1)。The top wall 21D is provided with a loading port 21E penetrating the top wall 21D in the up-down direction Z, and a lid 21F for opening/closing the loading port 21E. A rib-shaped pressing member 21G protruding downward Z2 is provided on the lower surface of the cover 21F. An opening 2E for inserting a cover 21F is provided in a top wall 2D of the case 2 (see FIG. 1 ).
流入路22例如通过在中途向上方Z1折弯后与盒体21的侧壁21B或顶壁21D连接而与盒体21的内部空间21C连通。当流入阀23打开时,来自水龙头的自来水会流过供水路4和流入路22而流入盒体21的内部空间21C。因此,流入阀23作为向盒体21内供水的供水部发挥功能。当流入阀23关闭时,向盒体21内的供水会停止。The inflow path 22 communicates with the internal space 21C of the case body 21 by, for example, being bent upward Z1 on the way and connected to the side wall 21B or the top wall 21D of the case body 21 . When the inflow valve 23 is opened, the tap water from the faucet flows into the internal space 21C of the case 21 through the water supply path 4 and the inflow path 22 . Therefore, the inflow valve 23 functions as a water supply unit that supplies water into the case 21 . When the inflow valve 23 is closed, the water supply to the box body 21 will stop.
供给路24的上端部与盒体21的底壁21A连接,供给路24的下端部贯通水筒3的正面壁3C的第二部3F而向后方Y2折弯,并从滚筒6的出入口6G面向滚筒6内(参照图1)。供给部25的一个例子是超声波振动器,装配于供给路24的下端部。关于供给部25的功能在后文进行说明。The upper end portion of the supply path 24 is connected to the bottom wall 21A of the box body 21, and the lower end portion of the supply path 24 passes through the second portion 3F of the front wall 3C of the water cylinder 3 and is bent toward the rear Y2, and faces the drum from the entrance and exit 6G of the drum 6. 6 (refer to Figure 1). An example of the supply unit 25 is an ultrasonic vibrator, and is attached to the lower end of the supply path 24 . The function of the supply unit 25 will be described later.
流出路26从盒体21的底壁21A向下方Z2延伸,并连接于水筒3的正面壁3C的第二部3F(参照图1)。当流入阀23在流出阀27关闭了的状态下打开时,在盒体21的内部空间21C会蓄留有水。此时,盒体21内的水的一部分也会存在于流出路26中比流出阀27靠上方Z1的上游区域。因此,也可以将该上游区域视为盒体21的内部空间21C的一部分。当流出阀27打开时,盒体21内的水经过流出路26向水筒3内流出之后,从排水路5排出至机外(参照图1)。因此,流出阀27作为排出盒体21内的水的排水部发挥功能。The outflow path 26 extends downward Z2 from the bottom wall 21A of the case 21 and is connected to the second portion 3F of the front wall 3C of the water tank 3 (see FIG. 1 ). When the inflow valve 23 is opened while the outflow valve 27 is closed, water is accumulated in the internal space 21C of the case 21 . At this time, part of the water in the case body 21 also exists in the upstream region of the outflow path 26 above the upper Z1 than the outflow valve 27 . Therefore, this upstream region can also be regarded as a part of the internal space 21C of the case 21 . When the outflow valve 27 is opened, the water in the box body 21 flows out into the water cylinder 3 through the outflow path 26, and then is discharged out of the machine from the drain path 5 (refer to FIG. 1 ). Therefore, the outflow valve 27 functions as a drain that drains the water in the case 21 .
处理水单元9还包括配置于盒体21内的网构件28、水位传感器29、振动器30以及加热器31。The treated water unit 9 further includes a mesh member 28 , a water level sensor 29 , a vibrator 30 , and a heater 31 arranged in the case 21 .
网构件28由无纺布构成为袋状,具有吸水性。作为网构件28的材料,可以使用100%聚酯纤维。此外,作为网构件28的适当的商品的一个例子,可以使用容易获取且耐久性、耐药性、抗菌性以及加工性优良的东洋纺株式会社生产的“吸水片(日语:ジャームガード)”。在网构件28容纳有用于处理滚筒6内的洗涤物L的水溶性凝珠B。在本实施方式中,凝珠B是混有银的玻璃凝珠,但也可以是被用于光催化剂的氧化钛凝珠、次氯酸凝珠。网构件28的网眼被设定为使根据使用等而变小的凝珠B不会穿过但使盒体21内的水往来的程度的大小。The net member 28 is made of nonwoven fabric in a bag shape and has water absorption. As a material of the net member 28, 100% polyester fiber can be used. In addition, as an example of a suitable product of the net member 28, "water-absorbent sheet (Japanese: jamgard)" produced by Toyobo Co., Ltd., which is easy to obtain and excellent in durability, chemical resistance, antibacterial property, and processability, can be used. Water-soluble beads B for treating laundry L in drum 6 are housed in net member 28 . In this embodiment, the beads B are glass beads mixed with silver, but may be titanium oxide beads or hypochlorous acid beads used for photocatalysts. The mesh of the mesh member 28 is set to such a size that water in the case 21 can flow back and forth without passing the dew beads B that become smaller due to use or the like.
使用者从箱体2的顶壁2D的开口2E接入盒体21的盖21F从而打开装填口21E,将包裹有许多凝珠B的网构件28从装填口21E装填至盒体21的内部空间21C。然后,当使用者利用盖21F关闭了装填口21E时,如图1和图2所示,凝珠B的组装完成,网构件28内的凝珠B容纳于盒体21内。包裹有凝珠B的网构件28也可以构成为相对于盒体21可拆装的盒。The user accesses the cover 21F of the box body 21 from the opening 2E of the top wall 2D of the box body 2 to open the filling port 21E, and fills the net member 28 wrapped with many condensation beads B into the inner space of the box body 21 from the filling port 21E 21C. Then, when the user closes the filling port 21E with the cover 21F, as shown in FIGS. The net member 28 wrapped with the bead B may be configured as a detachable box with respect to the box body 21 .
网构件28在盒体21内被盖21F的按压构件21G从上方Z1按压至盒体21的底壁21A的上表面。若在该状态下在盒体21内蓄留有水,则在盒体21内会生成溶解有作为凝珠B的成分的银离子的水即处理水。处理水具有除菌效果、抗菌效果、除臭效果等洗净效果,特别是具有抗菌效果。需要说明的是,作为其他洗净效果,也可以列举芳香效果,该情况下的凝珠B可以由芳香剂构成。The net member 28 is pressed to the upper surface of the bottom wall 21A of the case body 21 from above Z1 by the pressing member 21G of the cover 21F within the case body 21 . If water is stored in the case 21 in this state, treated water in which silver ions, which are components of the bead B, are dissolved is generated in the case 21 . The treated water has cleaning effects such as a sterilization effect, an antibacterial effect, and a deodorizing effect, and particularly has an antibacterial effect. In addition, as another cleansing effect, an aroma effect can also be mentioned, and the pod B in this case can be comprised with an aroma agent.
水位传感器29是检测盒体21内的水位的传感器。作为水位传感器29,可以使用浮子开关。振动器30在盒体21内配置于浸在水中的位置,使盒体21内的水振动。加热器31在盒体21内配置于浸在水中的位置,加热盒体21内的水。通过盒体21内的水被振动或加热,能迅速提高盒体21内的处理水的银离子浓度,因此能在短时间内生成高浓度的处理水。The water level sensor 29 is a sensor for detecting the water level in the case 21 . As the water level sensor 29, a float switch can be used. The vibrator 30 is arranged in the case body 21 at a position immersed in water, and vibrates the water in the case body 21 . The heater 31 is arranged in the case body 21 at a position immersed in water, and heats the water in the case body 21 . By vibrating or heating the water in the case 21, the silver ion concentration of the treated water in the case 21 can be rapidly increased, so that high-concentration treated water can be produced in a short time.
图3是表示洗衣机1的电构成的框图。洗衣机1还包括控制部32。控制部32例如被设置为包括CPU(Central Processing Unit:中央处理器)、ROM(Read Only Memory:只读存储器)或RAM(Random Access Memory:随机存取存储器)等存储器以及计时用的计时器的微型计算机,并内置于箱体2内(参照图1)。 马达7、供水阀13、排水阀14、送风部17、加热部18、流入阀23、供给部25、流出阀27、水位传感器29、振动器30以及加热器31分别与控制部32电连接。FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the washing machine 1 . Washing machine 1 further includes control unit 32 . The control unit 32 is configured, for example, to include memories such as CPU (Central Processing Unit: Central Processing Unit), ROM (Read Only Memory: Read Only Memory) or RAM (Random Access Memory: Random Access Memory), and a timer for timing. Microcomputer, and built in the casing 2 (referring to Fig. 1). The motor 7, the water supply valve 13, the drain valve 14, the air blower 17, the heating unit 18, the inflow valve 23, the supply unit 25, the outflow valve 27, the water level sensor 29, the vibrator 30 and the heater 31 are respectively electrically connected to the control unit 32 .
控制部32控制马达7以使滚筒6按所期望的转速旋转。控制部32控制供水阀13、排水阀14、流入阀23以及流出阀27各自的打开/关闭。控制部32控制送风部17、加热部18、供给部25、振动器30以及加热器31各自的动作。水位传感器29的检测结果被实时输入至控制部32。The controller 32 controls the motor 7 to rotate the drum 6 at a desired rotation speed. The control unit 32 controls opening/closing of the water supply valve 13 , the drain valve 14 , the inflow valve 23 , and the outflow valve 27 . The control unit 32 controls the respective operations of the air blower 17 , the heating unit 18 , the supply unit 25 , the vibrator 30 , and the heater 31 . The detection result of the water level sensor 29 is input to the control part 32 in real time.
控制部32执行洗涤运转。洗涤运转包括最初的准备过程、准备过程之后的清洗过程、在清洗过程之后执行一次或多次的漂洗过程以及在最后的漂洗过程之后执行的脱水过程。洗涤运转也可以是还包括在脱水过程后执行的烘干过程的洗涤烘干运转。The control unit 32 performs a washing operation. The washing operation includes an initial preparation process, a washing process after the preparation process, a rinsing process performed one or more times after the washing process, and a dehydration process performed after the final rinsing process. The washing operation may also be a washing and drying operation further including a drying process performed after the dehydration process.
在准备过程中,控制部32使马达7工作以使滚筒6按例如100rpm旋转,基于此时的马达7的电流的电阻值等来检测由滚筒6内的洗涤物L产生的负荷量。负荷量相当于滚筒6内的洗涤物L的容纳量。洗涤物L的容纳量的一个例子是洗涤物L的重量。During preparation, control unit 32 operates motor 7 to rotate drum 6 at, for example, 100 rpm, and detects the load of laundry L in drum 6 based on the current resistance value of motor 7 at this time. The load corresponds to the storage capacity of laundry L in drum 6 . An example of the storage capacity of the laundry L is the weight of the laundry L. As shown in FIG.
控制部32基于检测出的负荷量来确定洗涤剂和柔软剂各自的所需量以及清洗过程和漂洗过程中的水筒3内的目标水位。按每个负荷量的洗涤剂和柔软剂各自的所需量以及按每个负荷量的目标水位被预先设定并存储于控制部32的存储器中。Based on the detected load, the control unit 32 determines the respective required amounts of the detergent and the softener, and the target water levels in the water tub 3 during the washing process and the rinsing process. The required amounts of detergent and softener for each load and the target water level for each load are set in advance and stored in the memory of the control unit 32 .
在清洗过程中,控制部32首先通过在关闭了排水阀14的状态下打开供水阀13来执行供水处理。由此,来自供水路4的水流入水筒3内并蓄留,因此水筒3内的水位上升。当水筒3内的水位上升至目标水位时,控制部32通过关闭供水阀13来结束供水处理。In the cleaning process, the control unit 32 first performs water supply processing by opening the water supply valve 13 in a state in which the drain valve 14 is closed. As a result, the water from the water supply channel 4 flows into the water tank 3 and is stored, so that the water level in the water tank 3 rises. When the water level in the water tank 3 rises to the target water level, the control unit 32 closes the water supply valve 13 to end the water supply process.
在供水处理时,将所需量的洗涤剂投入水筒3内。需要说明的是,洗涤剂既可以由使用者手动投入,也可以由洗衣机1所具备的自动投入装置(未图示)自动投入。不论哪种情况,通过洗涤剂溶于自来水而生成的洗涤剂水都会蓄留于水筒3内。During water supply treatment, a required amount of detergent is dropped into the water tub 3 . It should be noted that the detergent can be manually injected by the user, or can be automatically injected by an automatic input device (not shown) provided in the washing machine 1 . In either case, detergent water generated by dissolving detergent in tap water is stored in water tub 3 .
作为供水处理后的洗净处理,控制部32通过马达7使滚筒6正转或反转。由此,滚筒6内的洗涤物L被捶洗。在捶洗中,反复进行如下的翻滚(tumbling): 洗涤物L被抬起一定程度后,随着滚筒6的旋转方向的切换等而自然落下至水面。通过由翻滚产生的冲击、蓄留于滚筒6内的洗涤剂水中所含的洗涤剂成分来将污垢从洗涤物L中去除。在从翻滚开始起经过了规定时间之后,控制部32打开排水阀14进行排水。As the washing process after the water supply process, the control unit 32 rotates the drum 6 in the normal direction or in the reverse direction through the motor 7 . Thereby, the laundry L in the drum 6 is hammer-washed. In beat washing, tumbling is repeated in which laundry L is lifted up to a certain extent, and then naturally falls to the water surface as the rotation direction of drum 6 is switched or the like. Stains are removed from the laundry L by the impact of the tumbling and the detergent components contained in the detergent water stored in the drum 6 . After a predetermined time elapses from the start of the tumbling, the control unit 32 opens the drain valve 14 to drain the water.
在清洗过程的最后,控制部32执行脱水处理。在脱水处理中,控制部32在打开了排水阀14的状态下使滚筒6脱水旋转。通过由滚筒6的脱水旋转产生的离心力来对滚筒6内的洗涤物L进行脱水。通过脱水而从洗涤物L中渗出的水从排水路5排出至机外。At the end of the cleaning process, the control unit 32 performs dehydration processing. In the dehydration process, the control unit 32 dehydrates and rotates the drum 6 with the drain valve 14 opened. The laundry L in the drum 6 is dehydrated by the centrifugal force generated by the dehydration rotation of the drum 6 . The water seeped out of the laundry L by dehydration is drained out of the machine through the drainage channel 5 .
接着,控制部32执行漂洗过程。在漂洗过程中,控制部32在关闭了排水阀14的状态下至少打开供水阀13规定时间,在水筒3中将自来水蓄留至目标水位为止,之后,通过马达7使滚筒6旋转。于是,上述的翻滚被反复进行,因此洗涤物L通过滚筒6内的自来水进行漂洗。需要说明的是,也可以是,在翻滚前,所需量的柔软剂通过自动投入装置投入水筒3内。若在从翻滚开始起经过了规定时间后,进行排水,执行上述的脱水处理,则漂洗过程结束。Next, the control unit 32 executes the rinsing process. During rinsing, the controller 32 opens the water supply valve 13 at least for a predetermined time with the drain valve 14 closed to store tap water in the water tub 3 up to the target water level, and then rotates the drum 6 by the motor 7 . Then, since the above-mentioned tumbling is repeated, the laundry L is rinsed with the tap water in the drum 6 . It should be noted that, it may also be that, before tumbling, a required amount of softener is dropped into the water cylinder 3 through an automatic feeding device. After a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of tumbling, the water is drained and the above-mentioned dehydration process is performed, and the rinsing process is completed.
接着,作为脱水过程,控制部32在打开了排水阀14的状态下使滚筒6脱水旋转。就是说,脱水过程的内容与清洗过程的最终阶段的脱水处理、漂洗过程的最终阶段的脱水处理的内容大致相同。也可以将脱水处理称为中间脱水过程,将脱水过程称为最终脱水过程。在最终脱水过程和中间脱水过程中,滚筒6的转速、旋转时间等可以不同。Next, as the dehydration process, the control unit 32 spins the drum 6 for dehydration with the drain valve 14 opened. That is, the dehydration process is substantially the same as the dehydration process in the final stage of the washing process and the dehydration process in the final stage of the rinsing process. The dehydration treatment may also be referred to as an intermediate dehydration process, and the dehydration process may be referred to as a final dehydration process. In the final dehydration process and the intermediate dehydration process, the rotation speed and rotation time of the drum 6 can be different.
在烘干过程中,控制部32通过控制送风部17和加热部18来产生热风并使该热风在滚筒6与循环路16之间循环,从而供给至滚筒6内的洗涤物L。由此,洗涤物L干燥。During the drying process, the control unit 32 controls the blower unit 17 and the heating unit 18 to generate hot air and circulate the hot air between the drum 6 and the circulation path 16 to supply the laundry L in the drum 6 . Thereby, the laundry L is dried.
控制部32也可以执行利用盒体21内的处理水对干燥状态的洗涤物L进行洗净的洗净运转。洗净运转既可以作为洗涤烘干运转的一部分在烘干运转之后执行,也可以是与洗涤运转、洗涤烘干运转独立的运转。使用者通过操作由设于箱体2的前表面2A的液晶操作面板等构成的显示操作部(未图示),可以选择是将洗净运转作为洗涤烘干运转的一部分来执行还是作为单独的运转来执行。作为洗净运转的对象的洗涤物L不限于能在洗衣机1中洗涤的洗涤物,也可以是无法在洗衣机1中洗涤的外套、布偶等。作为一个例子,在使用者回家 后想去除附着于脱下的外套上的污垢等的情况下,洗净运转作为单独的运转执行。The control unit 32 may perform a washing operation of washing the laundry L in a dry state with the treated water in the case 21 . The washing operation may be performed after the drying operation as part of the washing and drying operation, or may be performed independently of the washing operation and the washing and drying operation. The user can select whether to perform the washing operation as part of the washing and drying operation or as a separate operation by operating a display operation unit (not shown) composed of a liquid crystal operation panel or the like provided on the front surface 2A of the cabinet 2 . run to execute. The laundry L to be subjected to the washing operation is not limited to laundry that can be washed in the washing machine 1 , and may be an outerwear, a doll, etc. that cannot be washed in the washing machine 1 . As an example, when the user wants to remove dirt and the like attached to the coat that has been taken off after the user returns home, the washing operation is performed as a separate operation.
图4是表示洗净运转的流程图。当在干燥状态的洗涤物L容纳于滚筒6内的状态下开始洗净运转时,控制部32计算作为在盒体21内生成所需浓度的处理水所需的时间的生成时间和处理水的所需水量(步骤S1)。Fig. 4 is a flowchart showing a washing operation. When the washing operation is started with the laundry L in a dry state accommodated in the drum 6, the control unit 32 calculates the generation time and the time required for the treatment water to be generated in the case 21, which are the time required to generate the treatment water of a desired concentration. The required amount of water (step S1).
生成时间和水量分别可以随着滚筒6内的洗涤物L的负荷量而不同,在该情况下,控制部32执行上述的准备过程来检测负荷量,并分别计算与检测后的负荷量相应的生成时间和水量。用于根据负荷量来分别计算生成时间和水量的算式被预先设定并存储于控制部32的存储器中。需要说明的是,使用者通过操作显示操作部,还可以选择对洗涤物L是进行除菌还是进行抗菌,在除菌的情况下,需要与抗菌的情况相比更高浓度的处理水,因此控制部32计算与除菌和抗菌的每一个相应的生成时间。The generation time and the amount of water may vary according to the load of the laundry L in the drum 6. In this case, the control unit 32 executes the above-mentioned preparatory process to detect the load, and calculates the values corresponding to the detected load. Build time and water volume. Equations for calculating the production time and the water volume from the load are preset and stored in the memory of the control unit 32 . It should be noted that the user can also choose whether to perform sterilization or antibacterial on the laundry L by operating the display operation part. In the case of sterilization, a higher concentration of treated water is required than in the case of antibacterial, so The control part 32 calculates the generation time corresponding to each of sterilization and antibacterial.
计算出生成时间和水量的控制部32开始空气洗(步骤S2)。具体而言,控制部32通过在使滚筒6按例如45rpm旋转的状态下使送风部17工作来使空气循环。由此,在滚筒6内由于翻滚而反复落下的洗涤物L暴露于循环的空气中,由此来将灰尘等从洗涤物L中去除。将这样的处理称为空气洗(air wash)。此外,控制部32在开始空气洗的同时,开始与生成时间相关的时间计测。The control part 32 which calculated the generation time and water quantity starts air washing (step S2). Specifically, the control unit 32 circulates air by operating the air blower 17 while rotating the drum 6 at, for example, 45 rpm. In this way, the laundry L repeatedly dropped due to tumbling in the drum 6 is exposed to the circulating air, whereby dust and the like are removed from the laundry L. As shown in FIG. Such a treatment is called air washing. In addition, the control unit 32 starts the time measurement related to the generation time at the same time as the air washing is started.
开始了空气洗的控制部32通过参照水位传感器29的检测结果来确认盒体21内是否已存在所需水量(步骤S3)。若盒体21内未达到所需水量(在步骤S3中为“否”),则控制部32通过在关闭了流出阀27的状态下打开流入阀23来向盒体21供水(步骤S4)。需要说明的是,也可以在盒体21是满水的情况下判断为盒体21内存在所需水量。The control part 32 which started air washing confirms whether the required amount of water exists in the case 21 by referring to the detection result of the water level sensor 29 (step S3). If the required amount of water has not been reached in the case 21 (NO in step S3), the control unit 32 supplies water to the case 21 by opening the inflow valve 23 with the outflow valve 27 closed (step S4). It should be noted that it can also be determined that the required amount of water exists in the box body 21 when the box body 21 is full of water.
在盒体21内已存在所需水量的情况下(在步骤S3中为“是(YES)”),或当所需水量的水已经通过供水(步骤S4)而蓄留于盒体21时,控制部32确认是否经过了生成时间,就是说,确认是否通过凝珠B在盒体21内充分溶于水而在盒体21内生成了所需浓度以上的处理水(步骤S5)。When the required amount of water already exists in the case 21 ("Yes (YES)" in step S3), or when the required amount of water has been stored in the case 21 by water supply (step S4), The control unit 32 checks whether the generation time has elapsed, that is, checks whether the bead B is sufficiently dissolved in water in the case 21 to generate treated water with a concentration higher than required in the case 21 (step S5).
在经过了生成时间的情况下,就是说在盒体21内生成了所需浓度以上的处理水的情况下(在步骤S5中为“是”),控制部32确认从最近一次向盒体21供 水时起是否经过了规定的设定时间,就是说确认盒体21内的处理水的浓度是否过高(步骤S6)。与最近一次向盒体21供水时有关的时刻信息暂时存储于控制部32的存储器中。当盒体21内的处理水被放置大概经过设定时间时,处理水的浓度可能会过高。When the generation time has elapsed, that is to say, when the treated water with a concentration higher than the required concentration has been generated in the cartridge 21 (YES in step S5), the control unit 32 confirms that the water from the latest time to the cartridge 21 is Whether or not a predetermined set time has elapsed since water supply, that is, whether or not the concentration of the treated water in the cartridge 21 is too high is checked (step S6). Time information on the last time water was supplied to the cartridge body 21 is temporarily stored in the memory of the control unit 32 . When the treated water in the box body 21 is left for about a set time, the concentration of the treated water may be too high.
在经过了设定时间的情况下,就是说在盒体21内的处理水的浓度过高的情况下(在步骤S6中为“是”),控制部32打开流出阀27进行强制排水直至排空盒体21为止(步骤S7)。之后,控制部32一旦重置生成时间的时间计测后重新开始生成时间的时间计测,反复进行从步骤S3起的处理,打开流入阀23,由此在盒体21内生成所需浓度以上的处理水(步骤S4和S5)。When the set time has elapsed, that is to say, when the concentration of the treated water in the box body 21 is too high (YES in step S6), the control unit 32 opens the outflow valve 27 to perform forced drainage until the water is drained. until the box body 21 is empty (step S7). Thereafter, the control unit 32 once resets the time measurement of the generation time, restarts the time measurement of the generation time, repeats the processing from step S3, and opens the inflow valve 23, thereby generating a concentration greater than or equal to the required concentration in the cartridge 21. The treated water (steps S4 and S5).
如此,控制部32通过分别打开/关闭流入阀23和流出阀27来调整盒体21内的处理水的浓度。由此,通过防止凝珠B的过度溶解,能延长凝珠B的使用时间。特别是,若在调整盒体21内的凝珠B的容纳量的基础上调整盒体21内的处理水的浓度,则能任意调整凝珠B的使用时间。另外,凝珠B的使用时间为数年。In this way, the control unit 32 adjusts the concentration of the treated water in the cartridge 21 by opening/closing the inflow valve 23 and the outflow valve 27 respectively. Thus, by preventing excessive dissolution of the beads B, the use time of the beads B can be extended. In particular, if the concentration of the treated water in the box body 21 is adjusted on the basis of adjusting the capacity of the beads B in the box body 21, the use time of the beads B can be adjusted arbitrarily. In addition, the use time of the beads B is several years.
在未经过设定时间的情况下,就是说在盒体21内的处理水的浓度为适当的情况下(在步骤S6中为“否(NO)”),控制部32确认当前时间点是否已成为处理水的供给开始定时(步骤S8)。供给开始定时是洗净运转的运转时间内的中途的定时,被预先设定并存储于控制部32的存储器中。If the set time has not passed, that is to say, when the concentration of the treated water in the cartridge 21 is appropriate ("No (NO)" in step S6), the control unit 32 confirms whether the current time has passed. It becomes the supply start timing of treated water (step S8). The supply start timing is a timing in the middle of the operation time of the washing operation, and is set in advance and stored in the memory of the control unit 32 .
若当前时间点成为处理水的供给开始定时(在步骤S8中为“是”),则控制部32通过使设于与盒体21相连的流出路26的下端部的供给部25工作来开始向滚筒6内的处理水的供给(步骤S9)。如此,有效利用洗净运转中的成为供给开始定时前的时间,在盒体21内预先准备了所需浓度和水量的处理水后,在供给开始定时开始处理水的供给。If the current time is the start timing of the supply of treated water (YES in step S8), the control unit 32 starts supplying the treated water by operating the supply unit 25 provided at the lower end of the outflow path 26 connected to the case 21. Supply of the treated water in the drum 6 (step S9). In this manner, the time before the supply start timing during the washing operation is effectively utilized, and after the treated water of required concentration and water volume is prepared in the cartridge 21 in advance, the supply of the treated water is started at the supply start timing.
工作中的供给部25通过超声波振动来使流出路26内即盒体21内的处理水呈雾状地供给至滚筒6内。由此,在滚筒6内被直接淋浇了处理水雾的洗涤物L不仅通过由处理水进行除菌、抗菌或除臭而被洗净处理,还由处理水进行涂覆处理以使污垢、细菌不会附着。此外,空气洗仍在继续,因此通过处理水雾在水筒3与循环路16之间循环,不仅能洗净洗涤物L,还能洗净水筒3、水筒3内的滚筒6以及循环路16。需要说明的是,供给部25也可以是能将处理水呈喷 淋状供给的喷淋阀。The supply unit 25 in operation supplies the treated water in the outflow path 26 , that is, the case 21 , into the drum 6 in a mist form by ultrasonic vibration. Thus, the laundry L that has been directly sprayed with the treatment water mist in the drum 6 is not only cleaned by the treatment water for sterilization, antibacterial or deodorization, but also coated with the treatment water to remove dirt, Bacteria will not attach. In addition, the air washing is still going on, so by processing the water mist to circulate between the water tub 3 and the circulation path 16, not only the laundry L can be washed, but also the water tub 3, the drum 6 in the water tub 3, and the circulation path 16 can be cleaned. It should be noted that the supply unit 25 may be a shower valve capable of supplying the treated water in a shower.
此外,若从处理水的供给开始起经过例如两分钟,则控制部32会使滚筒6的转速从目前为止的45rpm上升至例如100rpm以上的规定转速,并通过马达7使滚筒6按规定转速在同一方向上持续旋转。由此,与翻滚不同,滚筒6内的洗涤物L不会落下而是在贴附于滚筒6的内周面部6E(参照图1)而变得扁平的状态下在同一方向上持续旋转。在该状态下,控制部32通过供给部25来将盒体21内的处理水供给至滚筒6内。In addition, if two minutes have elapsed since the supply of treated water, for example, the control unit 32 will increase the rotation speed of the drum 6 from the previous 45 rpm to a predetermined rotation speed of, for example, 100 rpm or more, and the motor 7 will make the drum 6 rotate at a predetermined speed. Continuous rotation in the same direction. Thus, unlike tumbling, laundry L in drum 6 continues to rotate in the same direction while being attached to inner peripheral surface 6E (see FIG. 1 ) of drum 6 and flattened, without falling. In this state, the control unit 32 supplies the treated water in the case 21 into the drum 6 through the supply unit 25 .
若从处理水的供给开始起经过例如三分钟的设定时间(在步骤S10中为“是”),则控制部32会通过使供给部25停止来结束向滚筒6内供给处理水(步骤S11)。此时,控制部32还通过使滚筒6的旋转停止并且使送风部17停止来结束空气洗。由此,洗净运转结束。控制部32通过根据由使用者进行的设定等来调整设定时间,能调整由处理水实现的处理效果。例如,设定时间越长,抗菌效果等处理效果越高。When the set time of, for example, three minutes has elapsed since the supply of the treated water started (YES in step S10), the control unit 32 stops the supply unit 25 to end the supply of the treated water into the drum 6 (step S11). ). At this time, control unit 32 also stops the rotation of drum 6 and stops air blower 17 to end the air washing. Thus, the cleaning operation ends. The control unit 32 can adjust the treatment effect of the treated water by adjusting the set time according to the setting or the like by the user. For example, the longer the set time, the higher the treatment effect such as antibacterial effect.
如上所述,在洗衣机1中,当向容纳有凝珠B的盒体21内供水时,通过凝珠B溶于水而生成处理水并蓄留于盒体21内。根据该构成,通过使处理水在盒体21内熟化,能提高处理水中的凝珠B的成分即银离子的浓度。由此,若通过供给部25将盒体21内的高浓度的处理水供给至滚筒6内,则能利用高浓度的处理水来有效地处理滚筒6内的洗涤物L。因此,能提高由处理水实现的处理效果。As described above, in the washing machine 1 , when water is supplied into the case 21 containing the beads B, the beads B are dissolved in water to generate treated water and stored in the case 21 . According to this configuration, by aging the treated water in the case 21 , the concentration of silver ions that is a component of the beads B in the treated water can be increased. Thus, if the high-concentration treated water in the case 21 is supplied into the drum 6 through the supply part 25, the laundry L in the drum 6 can be efficiently treated with the high-concentrated treated water. Therefore, the treatment effect achieved by the treated water can be enhanced.
此外,通过供给部25使盒体21内的处理水呈雾状地供给至滚筒6内,能向滚筒6内的洗涤物L遍布地淋浇处理水,因此能更有效地处理洗涤物L。因此,能进一步提高由处理水实现的处理效果。In addition, the treated water in the case 21 is supplied into the drum 6 in a mist form by the supply part 25, and the treated water can be poured over the laundry L in the drum 6, so the laundry L can be treated more effectively. Therefore, the treatment effect by the treated water can be further enhanced.
此外,通过在使滚筒6旋转以使滚筒6内的洗涤物L贴附于滚筒6的内周面部6E的状态下将盒体21内的处理水供给至滚筒6内,能向滚筒6内的洗涤物L遍布地淋浇处理水。由此,能更有效地处理洗涤物L。因此,能进一步提高由处理水实现的处理效果。In addition, by rotating the drum 6 so that the laundry L in the drum 6 is attached to the inner peripheral surface 6E of the drum 6, by supplying the treated water in the case 21 into the drum 6, the water in the drum 6 can be supplied. The laundry L is poured with treated water all over the ground. Thereby, laundry L can be processed more efficiently. Therefore, the treatment effect by the treated water can be further enhanced.
此外,通过控制向盒体21内供水的流入阀23和排出盒体21内的水的流出阀27来调整盒体21内的处理水的浓度,由此能将适当浓度的处理水淋浇向滚 筒6内的洗涤物L,因此能进一步有效地处理洗涤物L。因此,能进一步提高由处理水实现的处理效果。In addition, by controlling the inflow valve 23 for supplying water into the box body 21 and the outflow valve 27 for discharging water in the box body 21 to adjust the concentration of the treated water in the box body 21, the treated water of an appropriate concentration can be poured into the Therefore, the laundry L in the drum 6 can be treated more effectively. Therefore, the treatment effect by the treated water can be further enhanced.
并且,盒体21内的凝珠B处于被网构件28包裹的状态,因此,即使凝珠B由于溶于水或劣化等而变小变成碎片,也不会向盒体21外流出。因此,能防止凝珠B附着于滚筒6内的洗涤物L上。此外,具有吸水性的网构件28处于湿润的状态,因此能通过主动地润湿内侧的凝珠B来有效地使凝珠B溶于盒体21内的水从而生成高浓度的处理水。And, the beads B in the box body 21 are in the state wrapped by the net member 28, so even if the beads B become smaller and become fragments due to dissolution in water or deterioration, they will not flow out of the box body 21. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the beads B from adhering to the laundry L in the drum 6 . In addition, since the water-absorbent net member 28 is in a wet state, the beads B inside are actively wetted to effectively dissolve the beads B in the water in the case body 21 to generate high-concentration treated water.
此外,通过用网构件28包裹凝珠B来使网构件28的内侧的处理水的浓度迅速变高,因此通过该处理水与盒体21内的网构件28外的水混合,能在盒体21整体迅速生成高浓度的处理水。就是说,与不存在网构件28的情况相比,可以缩短有关生成高浓度的处理水的工时。此外,根据由无纺布构成的网构件28,则能使变成碎片的凝珠B留在内侧而不向盒体21外流出。此外,也可以将具有亲水性的无纺布用于网构件28,在该情况下,能提高凝珠B中的银离子的溶解速度。In addition, by wrapping the bead B with the net member 28, the concentration of the treated water inside the net member 28 is rapidly increased, so by mixing the treated water with the water outside the net member 28 in the box body 21, the water in the box body can be 21 The whole quickly generates high-concentration treated water. That is, compared with the case where the net member 28 is not present, the man-hours for generating high-concentration treated water can be shortened. Moreover, according to the net member 28 which consists of nonwoven fabrics, the bead B which became fragments can be kept inside and cannot flow out of the case 21. FIG. Moreover, you may use the nonwoven fabric which has hydrophilicity for the mesh member 28, and in this case, the dissolution rate of the silver ion in the bead B can be improved.
此外,通过按压构件21G将网构件28按压至盒体21的内表面部来对网构件28的内侧的凝珠B进行定位(参照图2),因此能进一步防止凝珠B向盒体21外流出。因此,能进一步防止凝珠B附着于滚筒6内的洗涤物L上。In addition, the bead B inside the net member 28 is positioned by pressing the net member 28 to the inner surface of the case body 21 by the pressing member 21G (refer to FIG. 2 ), so it is possible to further prevent the bead B from going out of the case body 21. flow out. Therefore, it is possible to further prevent the beads B from adhering to the laundry L in the drum 6 .
