The invention mode
But but describe in detail according to ultraviolet sterilization washing machine that shines of the use of the embodiment of the invention and sterilization and washing method wherein now with reference to accompanying drawing.
Fig. 1 is the side sectional view that illustrates according to washing machine of the present invention.This washing machine comprises: the cabinet 2 that constitutes outward appearance; Outer bucket 6 is mounted to and is suspended in the cabinet 2 and by damper assembly 5 supportings by spring 4; Be installed in rotation in the outer bucket 6 and can hold the cylinder 8 of slurry and clothing; Be installed in the motor 10 of outer bucket 6 rear sides, linking to each other with cylinder 8 is used for rotary drum 8; Door 50 near the inlet of cabinet 2 is installed is used for this inlet of switch.Ring spacer G is installed into the inlet and outer bucket 6 that connects cabinet 2.Be used to produce top that ultraviolet ultraviolet lamp assembly 20 is installed in packing ring G with inside, thereby ultraviolet ray is shone in the cylinder 8 with to the clothing sterilization in the face of cylinder 8.
This washing machine also comprises: be installed in the feed water valve assembly 12 and the box component for washing agent 14 on outer bucket 6 tops, be used to supply the slurry and the washing agent that enter outer bucket 6 and cylinder 5; Be installed in the draining pump component 16 of outer bucket 6 bottoms, be used for discharging slurry from outer bucket 6 and cylinder 8; Be contained in the heater 18 on the heater installation unit 6a that stretches out from the bottom of outer bucket 6 downwards, be used for slurry heat with outer bucket 6 to improve clean result; And the control device (not shown), be used to control the operation of motor 10, heater 18 and ultraviolet lamp assembly 20.
At this, door 50 is inlets that constitute in the front of cabinet 2 with switch of hinge coupling connection.When cabinet 2 usefulness door 50 was closed, door 50 tight adhesion were used to prevent the leakage of slurry in inlet.
Outer bucket 6 can be constituted as cylindrical, and level is installed in the cabinet 2.In addition, for easy inlet by cabinet 2 takes out clothing, the front end of outer bucket 6 can more be inclined upwardly the rear end of bucket 6 outside cabinet 2 internal ratios.
Cylinder 8 is constituted as cylindrical and is installed in rotation in the outer bucket 6.A plurality of dewatering hole 8h form on the inwall of cylinder 8, make slurry can be freely from cylinder 8 and outer barrel 6 inflow and outflows, and discharge from clothing by centrifugal force in dehydration.Elevating mechanism 8a protrudes with the inwall of predetermined space from cylinder 8, is used for rotation lifting and decline clothing by cylinder 8.
Preferably, cylinder 8 is made with uv reflectance by stainless steel, so that ultraviolet ray can arrive each part in the cylinder 8.Cylinder 8 is connected to the motor 10 that is installed in outer bucket 6 rear sides by the motor drive shaft (not shown) and is used for received power, and this motor drive shaft is mounted to and passes outer bucket 6.Motor 10 cylinder 8 that alternately reverses clockwise and widdershins, and rotate with the speed with the centrifugal force that is lower than 1G (1 gravity), be used for the ultraviolet bactericidal effect of wide-scale distribution.
Feed water valve assembly 12 and draining pump component 16 comprise feed water valve (not shown) and draining pump (not shown), and the operation by feed water valve and draining pump comes plumbing respectively.The operation of feed water valve and draining pump is controlled by control device.
On the other hand, substitute ultraviolet lamp assembly 20, ultraviolet LED can be used as ultraviolet light source.Ultraviolet LED is more more favourable than ultraviolet lamp assembly 20 aspect reliability and power consumption.
Fig. 2 is the decomposition view that ultraviolet lamp assembly 20 and another example of the coupling connection of packing ring G are shown.Ultraviolet lamp assembly 20 comprises: ultraviolet lamp 22 is used for generating ultraviolet ray according to the control signal from control device; Housing main body 24 is fixed with ultraviolet lamp 22 on it; Expelling plate 26 is used to launch the ultraviolet ray that is generated by ultraviolet lamp 24; And be contained in casing cover 28 on the front of housing main body 24.Ultraviolet ray shines in cylinder 8 and the clothing equably, thus with cylinder 8 and clothing sterilization together.
Generally speaking, expelling plate 26 is made by launching ultraviolet quartz plate, even thereby slight impact also be frangible.In order to address this problem, before being installed in expelling plate 26 and ultraviolet lamp 22 between housing main body 24 and the casing cover 28, pair of seal members S is coupled to the peripheral part of the front and rear surfaces of expelling plate 26.Preferably, seal S is made by the rubber of ring-type, and be installed between housing main body 24 and the expelling plate 26 respectively, between expelling plate 26 and the casing cover 28.
On the other hand, fixedly the ditch (not shown) forms on housing main body 24, makes fixedly ditch of ultraviolet lamp 22 part insertion from the side slidably.Casing cover 28 is coupled to housing main body 24.Launch hole forms in the central authorities in casing cover 28 fronts, is used to launch the ultraviolet ray that is generated by ultraviolet lamp 22.The periphery of casing cover 28 is coupled to the periphery of housing main body 24 by screw.
Because the diameter of outer bucket 6 is bigger than the diameter of cabinet 2 inlets, so the diameter of packing ring G increases from the front end to the rear end.The fixing hole 32 that forms on the top of packing ring G above the packing ring G direction towards cylinder 8.Therefore, the ultraviolet lamp assembly 20 that is supported by fixing hole 32 and supporting convex 34 is automatically towards cylinder 8.
Even the inlet of cabinet 2 has identical diameter with outer bucket 6, if cylinder 8 is downward-sloping from the front end to the rear end, then level is installed in fixing hole 32 on the top of packing ring G also towards cylinder 8.As a result, the ultraviolet lamp assembly 20 that is supported by fixing hole 32 and supporting convex 34 is automatically towards cylinder 8.
On the other hand, no matter the structure of packing ring G how, by the irradiating angle of control ultraviolet lamp assembly 20 or ultraviolet LED, ultraviolet ray can shine in the cylinder 8.
The inventor is considered as influencing the humidity in ultraviolet wavelength, the washing machine and the air velocity in the cylinder by the factor of ultraviolet ray irradiation to the bactericidal effect of the clothing sterilization in the washing machine, and finds that wavelength is that low-flow speed (being equal to or less than 2 meter per seconds) in ultraviolet ray, the low humidity in the washing machine (relative humidity is lower than 60%) and the cylinder of 180 to 200 nanometers is favourable to sterilization.Thereby, preferably in washing machine, form above condition and shine for ultraviolet ray.At this, ultraviolet wavelength can be regulated by the ultraviolet light source that use has this wavelength, and the air velocity in the cylinder can be regulated by the rotating speed of index drum.Usually, the sensor that is used for sensing relative humidity is not installed in washing machine.Therefore, when the sensor that is used for sensing humidity senses predetermined moisture (for example being lower than 40%), can carry out the ultraviolet ray irradiation.
In addition, essential consideration expelling plate 26 when using ultraviolet lamp assembly 20.It is in order to protect ultraviolet lamp 22 that this expelling plate 26 is installed.Because most materials (for example plastics) are not launched ultraviolet ray, so expelling plate 26 is made by the ultraviolet emissive material such as quartz.
To illustrate according to the sterilization in the washing process of the present invention now.
Control device links to each other with action button (not shown) in being installed in cabinet 2, is used for controlling according to user's process selection the operation of motor 10, heater 18, feed water valve or draining pump and ultraviolet lamp 22.
Particularly, when the user selects sterilization course, control device make ultraviolet lamp 22 can be during rinse step or dehydration after irradiation ultraviolet radiation.Between the ultraviolet ray light period, the operation of control device control motor 10 is with the cylinder 8 that overturns clockwise and widdershins, so that shake clothing equably and to its sterilization.
Preferably, control device during sterilization by the speed slow rotary drum 8 of CD-ROM drive motor 10 to have the centrifugal force that is lower than 1G, thereby to the abundant sterilization of clothing.
The switch of control device sensing door 50.Preferably, when door 50 was opened, control device stopped the operation of ultraviolet lamp 22, thereby prevented ultraviolet leakage.
Usually, when the speed of ambient windstream surpassed a setting speed or relative humidity and surpasses a setting value, ultraviolet bactericidal effect was weakened.Therefore, the air velocity in cylinder 8 surpasses setting speed, and when perhaps moisture surpassed setting value, control device can stop the ultraviolet ray irradiation of ultraviolet lamp 22.
In this case, control device is connected to sensor that is used for the air velocity in the sensing roller 8 and the sensor that is used for the sensing moisture, so that receive sensing value and decide the ultraviolet ray irradiation according to the value of institute's sensing.
After washing process, control device judges according to opening of door 50 whether clothing is removed.If the user does not take out clothing in setting-up time, then control device control ultraviolet lamp 22 is with the gap periods ground irradiation ultraviolet radiation of the scheduled time, thus continuously to the clothing sterilization.
But Fig. 3 illustrates the flow chart of the consecutive steps of the sterilization control method of the sterilizing unit of washing machine according to an embodiment of the invention.The sterilization control method of this washing machine is described now with reference to Fig. 3.
In first process, the user sets sterilization course, clothing is inserted washing machine and supplying detergent and slurry, begins washing process (arriving S3 with reference to S1) thus.
The user inserts washing machine by the inlet of cabinet with clothing, and by using action button to set washing course.At this, the user optionally sets sterilization course.After user's setting comprised the washing course of sterilization course, clothing washed by the washing course of input in advance.
Particularly, the amount that control device comes the sensing clothing by the cylinder that overturns clockwise and widdershins according to the control signal CD-ROM drive motor, and by opening the feed water valve supply enters outer bucket and cylinder by box component for washing agent slurry.Therefore, enter the slurry and the washing agent of outer bucket and cylinder with accurate amount supply.
Control device is by the cylinder that repeats to overturn clockwise and widdershins get wet clothing and dissolving detergent.Then, control device by by the direction rotary drum or the cylinder that alternately overturns clockwise and widdershins come washing clothes.
When cylinder rotated, clothing was hooked on the elevating mechanism, rose and descended, and this has given to beat and rub effect.
In second process, rinse step and dehydration are sequentially carried out (with reference to S4 and S5) after the washing step of first process.
Employed slurry is externally discharged by the operation of draining pump in outer bucket and the cylinder.New slurry enters outer bucket and cylinder by opening feed water valve with accurate amount supply.Cylinder alternately overturns clockwise and widdershins, so that rinsing clothes.This process repeats twice or three times.
Clothing is dewatered during rinse step off and on.Therefore, sterilization course is carried out after can being provided in the intermittence dehydration of rinse step.
After rinse step, employed slurry is externally discharged by the operation of draining pump.Then, the dehydration of discharging contained slurry in the clothing by centrifugal force is carried out by high speed swing roller in one direction.It is more much higher than washing step and rinse step that the rotating speed of motor is provided in dehydration.
In the 3rd process, sterilisation step reaches a setting-up time by irradiation ultraviolet radiation after the dehydration of second process carries out, and preferably, has considered air velocity and moisture (arriving S8 with reference to S6) in the cylinder.
Control device receives air velocity in the cylinder sensed and the moisture that is sensed, and they and setting speed and setting value are made comparisons.
If the air velocity in the cylinder is lower than setting speed, then control device is made comparisons the moisture and the setting value that are sensed.If the air velocity in the cylinder is higher than setting speed, then bactericidal effect will seriously weaken.In this case, control device does not begin sterilisation step, but continues the air velocity in the sensing roller.
If the moisture that is sensed is lower than setting value, then control device begins sterilisation step, if and the moisture that is sensed is higher than setting value, then control device is because relatively poor bactericidal effect and do not begin sterilization, and comes repetition dehydration by the high speed swing roller.
Therefore, when the air velocity in the cylinder is lower than setting speed and moisture and is lower than setting value, control device to the ultraviolet lamp power supply to generate ultraviolet ray and this ultraviolet ray shone in the cylinder.Even on the ultraviolet clothing that is shone directly in the cylinder or in the cylinder, also can uv reflectance by the cylinder that stainless steel is made.As a result, ultraviolet ray shines each part in the cylinder equably, thus simultaneously to clothing and cylinder sterilization.
Between the ultraviolet ray light period, control device shakes clothing (if centrifugal force is higher than 1G, then the clothing of Zhuan Donging can adhere on the cylinder) by the cylinder that slowly overturns clockwise and widdershins with the speed with the centrifugal force that is lower than 1G.Therefore, ultraviolet ray can be to the even sterilization of clothing.
In the 4th process like this, when the user takes out clothing after the sterilisation step of the 3rd process, then ultraviolet with setting-up time gap periods ground irradiation clothing (with reference to S9 and S10).
After finishing all washing course and sterilisation step, control device is judged by opening of door and whether is taken out clothing.Clothing is not taken out if the user surpasses setting-up time, then control device can not allow clothing to retain, but comes the clothing sterilization by the gap periods ground irradiation ultraviolet radiation with setting-up time.
As previously mentioned, according to the present invention, but but use the sterilization washing machine of ultraviolet ray irradiation and sterilization and washing method wherein by ultraviolet light source is installed in the inlet that is loaded on cabinet with outer barrel between the top of packing ring on, and will shine by the ultraviolet ray that ultraviolet light source generates in the clothing in the cylinder and carry out sterilization.This ultraviolet light source is easy to install the ultraviolet ray that has the specific wavelength of excellent sterilization effects with generation.In addition, but but use the sterilization washing machine of ultraviolet ray irradiation and sterilization and washing method wherein can by under the situation of air velocity and moisture in the consideration cylinder to clothing and cylinder irradiation ultraviolet radiation, maximize bactericidal effect to clothing and cylinder.
Although described the preferred embodiments of the present invention, be appreciated that the present invention should not be limited to these preferred embodiments, but can in the spirit and scope that the present invention such as claim are stated, make various changes and modification by those skilled in the art.
