发明所要解决的问题The problem to be solved by the invention
本发明是在上述背景下完成的发明，其目的在于提供一种能防止用于生成 处理水的水溶性的凝珠附着于洗净对象物的洗衣设备。The present invention has been made under the above background, and an object of the present invention is to provide a laundry machine capable of preventing the water-soluble beads used to generate treated water from adhering to the object to be washed.
用于解决问题的方案solutions to problems
本发明是一种洗衣设备，其包括：收容筒，收容洗净对象物；盒体，收容用于处理所述收容筒内的洗净对象物的水溶性的凝珠，能蓄水；供水部，向所述盒体内供水；供给部，将所述盒体内的溶解有所述凝珠的水即处理水供给至所述收容筒内；以及网构件，配置于所述盒体内，包裹所述凝珠。The present invention is a kind of laundry equipment, which comprises: a container for storing objects to be cleaned; a box body for containing water-soluble beads for processing the objects to be cleaned in the container, capable of storing water; a water supply unit , to supply water into the box; the supply part supplies the water in the box, that is, the treated water, into the storage tube; and the net member is arranged in the box and wraps the Beads.

此外，本发明的特征在于，所述网构件具有吸水性。Furthermore, the present invention is characterized in that the net member has water absorption.
此外，本发明的特征在于，所述洗衣设备包括：按压构件，将所述网构件按压于所述盒体的内表面部。In addition, the present invention is characterized in that the laundry machine includes a pressing member that presses the net member against the inner surface of the case.
发明效果Invention effect
根据本发明，在洗衣设备中，当向收容有水溶性的凝珠的盒体内供水时，通过凝珠溶于水而生成处理水并蓄于盒体内，因此若通过供水部将盒体内的处理水供给至收容筒内，则能利用处理水来处理收容筒内的洗净对象物。盒体内的凝珠处于被网构件包裹的状态，因此即使由于溶于水或劣化等而变小成为碎片也不会向盒体外流出。因此，能防止凝珠附着于收容筒内的洗净对象物。此外，通过使用网构件包裹凝珠，网构件的内侧的处理水的浓度迅速提高，因此通过该处理水与盒体内的网构件外的水混合，能在盒体整体迅速生成高浓度的处理水。也就是说，与不存在网构件的情况相比，可以缩短生成高浓度的处理水的时间。According to the present invention, in the washing machine, when water is supplied to the box body containing the water-soluble condensed beads, the condensed beads are dissolved in water to generate treated water and stored in the box body. When water is supplied into the container, the object to be cleaned in the container can be treated with the treated water. The condensation beads in the case are wrapped by the net member, so even if they become small and become fragments due to dissolution in water or deterioration, they will not flow out of the case. Therefore, it is possible to prevent condensation from adhering to the object to be cleaned in the container. In addition, since the concentration of the treated water inside the net member is rapidly increased by enclosing the condensation beads with the net member, it is possible to quickly generate high-concentration treated water in the entire case by mixing the treated water with the water outside the net member in the case. . That is, it is possible to shorten the time for generating high-concentration treated water compared to the case where there is no mesh member.
此外，根据本发明，若是由无纺布构成的网构件，则能使成为碎片的凝珠以不流出到盒体外的方式留在内侧。In addition, according to the present invention, if the net member is made of nonwoven fabric, it is possible to keep fragmented condensation beads inside so as not to flow out of the case.
此外，根据本发明，具有吸水性的网构件处于湿润状态，因此能通过主动地润湿内侧的凝珠来使凝珠有效地溶于盒体内的水从而生成高浓度的处理水。In addition, according to the present invention, since the water-absorbent net member is in a wet state, the condensation beads can be effectively dissolved in the water inside the case by actively wetting the condensation beads inside to generate high-concentration treated water.
此外，根据本发明，按压构件通过将网构件按压于盒体的内表面部来定位网构件的内侧的凝珠，因此能进一步防止凝珠向盒体外流出。因此，能进一步防止凝珠附着于收容筒内的洗净对象物。Furthermore, according to the present invention, the pressing member positions the dew inside the net member by pressing the net member against the inner surface of the case, so that the bead can be further prevented from flowing out of the case. Therefore, it is possible to further prevent condensation beads from adhering to the object to be cleaned in the storage tube.

A support shaft 6F extending along the axis J toward the rear side Y2 is provided at the center of the rear wall 6B of the drum 6 . The rear end part of the support shaft 6F passes through the through-hole 3D of the back wall 3B of the water tank 3, and is arrange|positioned on the rear side Y2 rather than the back wall 3B.
在环状壁6C的内侧形成有从前侧Y1与圆周壁6A的中空部分连通的出入口6G。出入口6G处于从后侧Y2与水筒3的出入口3H和箱体2的开口2B对置并连通的状态。出入口3H和出入口6G与开口2B一起由门11统一开闭。使用者经由开放的开口2B、出入口3H以及出入口6G将洗涤物L取出放入于滚筒6内。在门11设有垫圈15，该垫圈15在门11关闭了开口2B、出入口3H以及出入口6G时紧贴于水筒3的正面壁3C的第三部3G。An inlet/outlet 6G communicating with the hollow portion of the peripheral wall 6A from the front side Y1 is formed inside the annular wall 6C. The inlet and outlet 6G are in a state of facing and communicating with the inlet and outlet 3H of the water tank 3 and the opening 2B of the tank 2 from the rear side Y2. The entrance and exit 3H and the entrance and exit 6G are collectively opened and closed by the door 11 together with the opening 2B. The user takes out and puts the laundry L into the drum 6 through the opened opening 2B, the entrance and exit 3H, and the entrance and exit 6G. The door 11 is provided with a gasket 15 that is in close contact with the third portion 3G of the front wall 3C of the water tank 3 when the door 11 closes the opening 2B, the entrance 3H, and the entrance 6G.
马达7在箱体2内配置于水筒3的背面壁3B的后侧Y2。作为马达7的一个例子，可以采用直驱(DD：direct drive)马达。马达7与设于滚筒6的支承轴6F连结。马达7所产生的转矩被传递至支承轴6F，因此接受了马达7的转矩的滚筒6伴随支承轴6F绕轴线J旋转。需要说明的是，也可以在马达7与支承轴6F之间设置将马达7的转矩向支承轴6F传递或切断的离合机构(未图示)。The motor 7 is arranged on the rear side Y2 of the rear wall 3B of the water tank 3 within the housing 2 . As an example of the motor 7, a direct drive (DD: direct drive) motor can be used. The motor 7 is connected to a support shaft 6F provided on the drum 6 . Since the torque generated by the motor 7 is transmitted to the support shaft 6F, the drum 6 receiving the torque of the motor 7 rotates around the axis J along with the support shaft 6F. In addition, a clutch mechanism (not shown) which transmits or cuts off the torque of the motor 7 to the support shaft 6F may be provided between the motor 7 and the support shaft 6F.
烘干单元8包括：循环路16和送风部17，用于使水筒3内的空气循环；以及加热部18，加热循环的空气。The drying unit 8 includes: a circulation path 16 and an air supply part 17 for circulating the air in the water cylinder 3; and a heating part 18 for heating the circulated air.
循环路16是在箱体2内配置于水筒3的上侧Z1的流路。循环路16具有：中途部分16A，沿前后方向Y延伸；后部分16B，从中途部分16A的后端向下侧Z2延伸；以及前部分16C，从中途部分16A的前端向下侧Z2延伸。在后部 分16B的下端部的前端形成有取出口16D。取出口16D与水筒3的背面壁3B连接，从后侧Y2与水筒3内连通。在前部分16C的下端形成有返回口16E。返回口16E与水筒3的正面壁3C的第二部3F的上端部连接，从上侧Z1与水筒3内连通。The circulation path 16 is a flow path arranged on the upper side Z1 of the water tank 3 in the tank 2 . The circulation path 16 has a middle portion 16A extending in the front-rear direction Y; a rear portion 16B extending from the rear end of the middle portion 16A to the lower side Z2; and a front portion 16C extending from the front end of the middle portion 16A to the lower side Z2. A take-out port 16D is formed at the front end of the lower end portion of the rear portion 16B. The outlet 16D is connected to the rear wall 3B of the water cylinder 3 and communicates with the inside of the water cylinder 3 from the rear side Y2. A return port 16E is formed at the lower end of the front portion 16C. The return port 16E is connected to the upper end of the second portion 3F of the front wall 3C of the water cylinder 3, and communicates with the inside of the water cylinder 3 from the upper side Z1.
送风部17为所谓的鼓风机，包括配置于循环路16内的旋转叶片17A和使旋转叶片17A旋转的马达(未图示)。当旋转叶片17A旋转时，如粗虚线箭头所示，水筒3内的空气即水筒3内和滚筒6内的空气从取出口16D被取出至循环路16内，然后从返回口16E返回至水筒3内。由此，水筒3内的空气以依次流经水筒3和循环路16的方式进行循环。 Air blower 17 is a so-called blower, and includes rotating blade 17A arranged in circulation path 16 and a motor (not shown) that rotates rotating blade 17A. When the rotating blade 17A rotates, as shown by the thick dotted arrow, the air in the water cylinder 3, that is, the air in the water cylinder 3 and the drum 6 is taken out from the outlet 16D into the circulation path 16, and then returned to the water cylinder 3 from the return port 16E. Inside. Thereby, the air in the water tank 3 circulates so as to flow through the water tank 3 and the circulation path 16 sequentially.
加热部18是热泵中的热交换器或普通加热器等，其至少局部设于循环路16内。加热部18中的设于循环路16内的部分具有散热部18A。当加热部18工作时散热部18A会成为高温，因此流经循环路16内的空气会在经过散热部18A的周围时被加热而成为热风。The heating unit 18 is a heat exchanger or a general heater in a heat pump, and is at least partially provided in the circulation path 16 . A portion of the heating unit 18 provided in the circulation path 16 has a heat dissipation unit 18A. When the heating unit 18 operates, the heat dissipation portion 18A becomes high temperature, so the air flowing through the circulation path 16 is heated when passing around the heat dissipation portion 18A and becomes hot air.
处理水单元9包括：盒体21，在箱体2内配置于比水筒3靠上侧Z1的位置；流入路22，从供水路4中的比供水阀13靠近一端4A的上游部分分支并与盒体21相连；以及流入阀23，设于流入路22，可开闭。处理水单元9包括：供给路24，从盒体21向下侧Z2延伸，其下端部配置于水筒3内；供给部25，设于供给路24的下端部；流出路26，从盒体21向下侧Z2延伸并与水筒3连接；以及流出阀27，设于流出路26，可开闭。The treated water unit 9 includes: a box body 21 disposed at a position on the upper side Z1 than the water cylinder 3 in the box body 2; an inflow path 22 branched from an upstream portion of the water supply path 4 that is closer to one end 4A than the water supply valve 13 and connected to the water supply path 4; The boxes 21 are connected; and the inflow valve 23 is provided in the inflow path 22 and can be opened and closed. The treated water unit 9 includes: a supply path 24 extending from the box body 21 to the lower side Z2, and its lower end is disposed in the water cylinder 3; a supply part 25 is provided at the lower end of the supply path 24; It extends to the lower side Z2 and is connected to the water cylinder 3; and an outflow valve 27 is provided in the outflow path 26 and can be opened and closed.
参照处理水单元9的示意性纵剖主视图即图2，盒体21包括：底壁21A；环状的侧壁21B，从底壁21A的外缘的整个区域立起；以及顶壁21D，供从上侧Z1堵住由底壁21A和侧壁21B包围而成的盒体21的内部空间21C。底壁21A的上表面和侧壁21B的内周面构成盒体21的内表面部。Referring to Fig. 2, which is a schematic longitudinal sectional front view of the treated water unit 9, the box body 21 includes: a bottom wall 21A; an annular side wall 21B standing up from the entire area of the outer edge of the bottom wall 21A; and a top wall 21D, The internal space 21C of the box body 21 surrounded by the bottom wall 21A and the side wall 21B is closed from the upper side Z1. 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和开闭装填口21E的盖21F。在盖21F的下表面设有向下侧Z2突出的肋状的按压构件21G。在箱体2的顶壁2D设有用于接近盖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 vertical direction Z, and a cover 21F for opening and closing the charging port 21E. A rib-shaped pressing member 21G protruding downward Z2 is provided on the lower surface of the cover 21F. An opening 2E (see FIG. 1 ) for accessing the cover 21F is provided on the top wall 2D of the box body 2 .
流入路22例如通过在中途向上侧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 的自来水会流经供水路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内的供水停止。The inflow path 22 communicates with the internal space 21C of the case body 21 by, for example, being bent halfway upward Z1 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 will flow through the water supply path 4 and the inflow path 22 and flow into the inner space 21C of the box body 21. 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 into the case 21 is stopped.
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而向后侧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子，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 of the supply path 24 is connected to the bottom wall 21A of the box body 21, and the lower end of the supply path 24 passes through the second part 3F of the front wall 3C of the water cylinder 3 and bends toward the rear side Y2, and faces from the entrance and exit 6G of the drum 6. Inside the drum 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向下侧Z2延伸，并与水筒3的正面壁3C的第二部3F连接(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内的一部分水也会存在于流出路26中的比流出阀27靠上侧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内的水会经过流出路26向水筒3内流出，然后从排水路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 from the bottom wall 21A of the case 21 to the lower side Z2, 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 21 also exists in the upstream region of the outflow path 26 on the upper side 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 will flow out into the water cylinder 3 through the outflow path 26, and then be 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、振子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”。在网构件28收容用于处理滚筒6内的洗涤物L的水溶性的凝珠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的网孔被设定为不使根据使用等而变小的凝珠B穿过但使盒体21内的水往来程度的大小。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, a "water-absorbent sheet" produced by Toyobo Co., Ltd., which is easy to obtain and has excellent durability, chemical resistance, antibacterial property, and processability, can be used. Water-soluble beads B for treating laundry L in drum 6 are accommodated 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 net member 28 is set to such a size that water in the case 21 can flow back and forth without passing the condensation 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接近盒体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，如图1和图2所示，当使用者利用盖21F关闭了装填口21E时，凝珠B的组装完成，网构件28内的凝珠B收容于盒体21内。包裹有凝珠B的网构件28也可以构成相对于盒体21可拆装的盒。The user approaches 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 beads B into the inner space 21C of the box body 21 from the filling port 21E . Then, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , when the user closes the filling port 21E with the cover 21F, the assembly of the beads B is completed, and the beads B in the mesh member 28 are accommodated in the case 21 . The net member 28 wrapped with the beads B may constitute a detachable box relative to the box body 21 .
网构件28在盒体21内被盖21F的按压构件21G从上侧Z1按压于盒体21的底壁21A的上表面。当在该状态下在盒体21内蓄留有水时，在盒体21内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 against the upper surface of the bottom wall 21A of the case body 21 from the upper side Z1 by the pressing member 21G of the cover 21F in the case body 21 . When 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。振子30在盒体21内配置于浸水的位置，使盒体21内的水振动。加热器31在盒体21内配置于浸水的位置，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 a water-immersed position in the case body 21 to vibrate the water in the case body 21 . The heater 31 is arranged at a position immersed in water in the case body 21 , 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的电结构的框图。洗衣机1还包括控制部32。控制部32例如被设置为包括中央处理器(CPU)、只读存储器(ROM)或随机存取存储器(RAM)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、振子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, for example, configured as a microcomputer including a memory such as a central processing unit (CPU), a read-only memory (ROM) or a random access memory (RAM), and a timer for timing, and is built in the casing 2 (refer to figure 1). Motor 7 , water supply valve 13 , drain valve 14 , air blower 17 , heating unit 18 , inflow valve 23 , supply unit 25 , outflow valve 27 , water level sensor 29 , vibrator 30 and heater 31 are electrically connected to control unit 32 .
控制部32以使滚筒6按所期望的转速旋转的方式控制马达7。控制部32控制供水阀13、排水阀14、流入阀23以及流出阀27各自的开闭。控制部32控制送风部17、加热部18、供给部25、振子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 control part 32 controls the motor 7 so that the drum 6 may rotate at a desired rotation speed. The control unit 32 controls opening and closing of each 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 blower unit 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；准备过程后的清洗过程；漂洗过程，在清洗过程后执行一次或多次；以及脱水过程，在最后的漂洗过程后执行。洗涤运转也可以是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 including a drying process performed after the dehydration process.
在准备过程中，控制部32使马达7工作以带动滚筒6按例如100rpm旋转，并基于此时的马达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的收容量。洗涤物L的收容量的一个例子是洗涤物L的重量。During preparation, control unit 32 activates motor 7 to drive drum 6 to rotate 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.
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和清洗过程和漂洗过程中的水筒3内的目标水位。每个负荷量的洗涤剂和柔软剂各自的所需量和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 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的水流入并蓄于水筒3内，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会通过关闭供水阀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 and is stored in the water tank 3, so that the water level in the water tank 3 rises. When the water level in the water cylinder 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 produced by dissolving detergent in tap water is stored in water tub 3 .
作为供水处理后的清洗处理，控制部32通过马达7使滚筒6正旋转或反旋转。由此，滚筒6内的洗涤物L被摔洗。在摔洗中，洗涤物L被反复进行举起一定程度后随着滚筒6的旋转方向的切换等自然落下至水面的翻滚(tumbling)。通过由翻滚产生的冲击、蓄于滚筒6内的洗涤剂水所含的洗涤剂成分，污垢从洗涤物L中被去除。在从翻滚开始起经过了规定时间后，控制部32打开排水阀14进行排水。As a cleaning process after the water supply process, the control unit 32 uses the motor 7 to rotate the drum 6 forward or reverse. Thereby, the laundry L in the drum 6 is tumble-washed. In the tumble washing, the laundry L is lifted up to a certain degree and then naturally falls to the water surface along with the switching of the rotation direction of the drum 6 or the like, repeatedly tumbling. 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，滚筒6内的洗涤物L被脱水。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. Laundry L in drum 6 is dehydrated by the centrifugal force generated by the dehydration rotation of 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规定时间来在水筒3中蓄留自来水至目标水位，然后控制部32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被滚筒6内的自来水漂洗。需要说明的是，在翻滚前，所需量的柔软剂可以由自动投入装置投入水筒3内。当控制部32在从翻滚开始起经过了规定时间后进行排水并执行上述的脱水处理时，漂洗过程结束。Next, the control unit 32 executes the rinsing process. During rinsing, the controller 32 keeps the water supply valve 13 open for at least a predetermined time while the drain valve 14 is closed to store tap water in the water tub 3 up to the target water level, and then the controller 32 rotates the drum 6 through the motor 7 . Then, the above-mentioned tumbling is repeated, so that the laundry L is rinsed with the tap water in the drum 6 . It should be noted that, before tumbling, the required amount of softener can be dropped into the water cylinder 3 by an automatic feeding device. When the control unit 32 drains water after a predetermined time elapses from the start of tumbling and performs the above-mentioned dehydration process, the rinsing process ends.
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。也就是说，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，向滚筒6内的洗涤物L供给该热风。由此，洗涤物L被烘干。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 hot air to the laundry L in the drum 6 . Thus, the laundry L is dried.
控制部32也可以执行利用盒体21内的处理水将烘干状态的洗涤物L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、填充玩具等。作为一个例子，在使用者回家后想去除附着在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 for 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 stuffed toy, etc. that cannot be washed in the washing machine 1 . As an example, when the user wants to remove dirt and the like adhering to a jacket that has been taken off after returning home, the washing operation is performed as a separate operation.
图4是表示洗净运转的流程图。当洗净运转在烘干状态的洗涤物L收容于滚筒6内的状态下开始时，控制部32计算在盒体21内生成所需浓度的处理水所需要的时间即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 the dry state stored in the drum 6, the control unit 32 calculates the time required to generate the treated water of a desired concentration in the case 21, that is, the generation time and the amount of the treated water. The required amount of water (step S1).
生成时间和水量分别可以根据滚筒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对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计算与除菌和抗菌分别对应的生成时间。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 generation time corresponding to the detected load. time and amount of water. 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 unit 32 calculates the generation time corresponding to the sterilization and the antibacterial respectively.
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内通过翻滚而反复落下的洗涤物L暴露于循环的空气中，由此灰尘等从洗涤物L中被去除。将这样的处理称为空气洗。此外，控制部32 在开始空气洗的同时，还开始有关生成时间的时间计测。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. Thereby, the laundry L repeatedly dropped by 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 treatment is called air washing. In addition, the control unit 32 also starts time measurement regarding 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内是否已经达到所需水量(步骤S3)。若盒体21内未达到所需水量(在步骤S3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内达到了所需水量。The control unit 32 that started the air washing checks whether or not the required amount of water has been reached 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 may also be determined that the required amount of water has been reached in the box body 21 when the box body 21 is full of water.
在盒体21内已经达到所需水量的情况下(在步骤S3为“是”)，或当所需水量的水已经通过供水(步骤S4)蓄于盒体21时，控制部32确认是否经过了生成时间，也就是说，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 has been reached in the box body 21 (Yes in step S3), or when the required amount of water has been stored in the box body 21 by water supply (step S4), the control unit 32 confirms whether the The generation time is checked, that is, it is confirmed whether the treated water with a concentration above the required concentration is generated in the case body 21 by the bead B being sufficiently dissolved in water in the case body 21 (step S5).
在经过了生成时间的情况下，也就是说在盒体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，也就是说确认盒体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，处理水的浓度恐怕会过高。When the generation time has elapsed, that is to say, when 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 flow rate from the last time to the cartridge 21 is It is checked whether a predetermined set time has elapsed since water supply, that is, whether the concentration of the treated water in the cartridge 21 is too high (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，也就是说在盒体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(步骤S7)。然后，控制部32一旦重置生成时间的时间计测后则重新开始生成时间的时间计测，并重复从步骤S3起的处理来打开流入阀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 forcibly drain water until it is discharged. Empty box body 21 (step S7). Then, once the time measurement of the generation time is reset, the control unit 32 restarts the time measurement of the generation time, and repeats the process from step S3 to open the inflow valve 23, thereby generating a desired concentration in the cartridge 21. The above treated water (steps S4 and S5).
如此，控制部32通过分别开闭流入阀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的寿命。特别是，若在调整了凝珠B向盒体21内的收容量的基础上调整盒体21内的处理水的浓度，则也能任意调整凝珠B的寿命。另外，凝珠B的寿命为数年。In this way, the control unit 32 adjusts the concentration of the treated water in the cartridge 21 by opening and closing the inflow valve 23 and the outflow valve 27 respectively. Accordingly, by preventing excessive dissolution of the beads B, the life of the beads B can be extended. In particular, if the concentration of the treated water in the case 21 is adjusted after adjusting the capacity of the condensed beads B to be stored in the case 21, the lifetime of the condensed beads B can also be adjusted arbitrarily. In addition, the lifespan of the bead B is several years.
在未经过设定时间的情况下，也就是说在盒体21内的处理水的浓度适当的情况下(在步骤S6为“否”)，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。When the set time has not passed, that is, when the concentration of the treated water in the cartridge 21 is appropriate ("No" in step S6), the control unit 32 checks whether the current time has become the concentration of the treated water. Supply start timing (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 .
当当前时间点成为处理水的供给开始定时时(在步骤S8为“是”)，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内供给处理水(步骤S9)。如此，有效利用洗净运转中到达供给开始定时为止的时间，在盒体21内预先准备所需浓度和水量的处理水，然后处理水的供给在供给开始定时开始。When the current time point becomes the supply start timing of the treated water (YES in step S8), the control unit 32 starts supplying the treated water to the drum by operating the supply unit 25 provided at the lower end of the outflow path 26 connected to the case body 21. 6 to supply treated water (step S9). In this way, the time until the supply start timing is effectively utilized during the washing operation is used to prepare treated water of required concentration and water volume in the cartridge 21, and then the supply of the treated water starts 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、抗菌或除臭而进行清洗处理，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之间进行循环，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也可以是能按喷淋状供给处理水的喷淋阀。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, etc. Will not attach. In addition, the air washing is still going on, so the treated water mist circulates between the water cylinder 3 and the circulation path 16, not only the laundry L can be washed, but also the water cylinder 3, the drum 6 in the water cylinder 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 treated water in a shower.
此外，当从处理水的供给开始起经过例如两分钟时，控制部32会使滚筒6的转速从现在的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不断旋转。由此，与翻滚不同，滚筒6内的洗涤物L不会落下而是在紧贴于滚筒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不断旋转。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, when two minutes have elapsed since the supply of the treated water, the control unit 32 increases the rotational speed of the drum 6 from the current 45 rpm to a predetermined rotational speed of, for example, 100 rpm or more, and the motor 7 keeps the drum 6 at the same predetermined rotational speed. Rotate continuously. Thus, unlike tumbling, the laundry L in the drum 6 does not fall but rotates continuously in the same direction while being flattened against the inner peripheral surface 6E (see FIG. 1 ) of the drum 6 . In this state, the control unit 32 supplies the treated water in the case 21 into the drum 6 through the supply unit 25 .
当从处理水的供给开始起经过例如三分钟的设定时间时(在步骤S10为“是”)，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, 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，当向收容有凝珠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于盒体21内。若是该构成，则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 to 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, which are components 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，供给部25通过使盒体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充分淋浇处理水，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, since the supply part 25 supplies the treated water in the case 21 into the drum 6 in a mist form, the treated water can be sufficiently poured on the laundry L in the drum 6, so that the laundry L can be treated more efficiently. Therefore, the treatment effect by the treated water can be further enhanced.
此外，通过在使滚筒6旋转以带动滚筒6内的洗涤物L紧贴于滚筒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充分淋浇处理水。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 brought into close contact with the inner peripheral surface 6E of the drum 6, the treated water in the case 21 is supplied into the drum 6, and the water in the drum 6 can be supplied. The laundry L is fully poured with treated water. 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，能将适当浓度的处理水淋向滚筒6内的洗涤物L，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, by controlling the inflow valve 23 for supplying water to the box body 21 and the outflow valve 27 for discharging the water in the box body 21 to adjust the concentration of the treated water in the box body 21, the treated water with an appropriate concentration can be showered into the drum 6 of laundry L, so the laundry L can be processed more efficiently. 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包裹的状态中，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 bead B in the box body 21 is in the state wrapped by the mesh member 28, so even if the bead B becomes small and becomes fragments due to dissolution in water or deterioration, it 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 bead B inside is actively wetted to effectively dissolve the bead B in the water in the case body 21 to generate high-concentration treated water.
此外，通过使用网构件28包裹凝珠B，网构件28的内侧的处理水的浓度会迅速提高，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。也就是说，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，若是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 using the net member 28 to wrap the bead B, the concentration of the treated water inside the net member 28 will increase rapidly, 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 21 can The whole quickly generates high-concentration treated water. That is, compared with the case where the mesh member 28 is not present, the man-hours for generating high-concentration treated water can be shortened. In addition, if the net member 28 made of nonwoven fabric is used, the beads B that have become fragments can be kept inside so as not to flow out of the case body 21 . 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，按压构件21G通过将网构件28按压于盒体21的内表面部来定位网构件28的内侧的凝珠B(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 pressing member 21G positions the bead B (see FIG. 2 ) inside the net member 28 by pressing the net member 28 against the inner surface of the case body 21 , thereby further preventing the bead B from flowing out of the case body 21 . Therefore, it is possible to further prevent the beads B from adhering to the laundry L in the drum 6 .
本发明不限于以上说明的实施方式，可以在技术方案所记载的范围内进行各种变更。The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various changes can be made within the scope described in the claims.
例如，本发明的洗衣设备在上述的实施方式中是滚筒式洗衣机1，但也可以是立式洗衣机，还可以是省略了洗涤功能的烘干机。For example, the washing machine of the present invention is the front-loading washing machine 1 in the above-mentioned embodiment, but it may also be a vertical washing machine, or may be a dryer without a washing function.
