The present disclosure relates to a washing machine for washing laundry such as clothes.
Background
Among conventional washing machines are a pulsator type washing machine that agitates laundry such as laundry in a rotary tub to wash the laundry, and a drum type washing machine that lifts the laundry in a rotation direction of the rotary tub in the rotary tub to drop the laundry from above to beat wash the laundry. In any of the washing machines, washing is performed by applying mechanical force to laundry in addition to chemical force of detergent. In addition, dehydration of washed laundry is generally performed by centrifugal force that separates water from the laundry by centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation of a rotary tub (see patent document 1).
The above washing machine which washes laundry by applying mechanical force thereto is not suitable for washing laundry as follows: laundry which is likely to be damaged, laundry which is likely to be entangled and pulled and which is likely to lose its shape, and laundry which is likely to be deteriorated in hand. Further, centrifugal force dewatering is not suitable for the above-mentioned laundry, as for dewatering after washing. The laundry is usually washed by hand, and examples thereof include knitted and woven fabrics of wool such as sweater and fly sweater, and scarves made of fine fibers.
Centrifugal dewatering has the advantage of high dewatering efficiency, and on the contrary, has the problem of large vibration and noise caused by high-speed rotation of the rotary tub, it is considered to perform dewatering by sucking water from the laundry in order to reduce vibration and noise at the time of dewatering (for example, see patent documents 2 to 4).
Fig. 5 is a structural diagram of the drum-type fully automatic washing machine disclosed in patent document 2. As shown in fig. 5, the air in the drum 501 is sucked and at the same time, the moisture is sucked from the laundry 502. Further, a suction body 504 is provided to cover the outer circumferential wall of the drum 501 and communicate with the water injection hole 503 of the drum 501. Then, the water contained in the laundry 502 stuck to the inner peripheral wall of the drum 501 is sucked by the suction body 504 by the suction pump 505, and dehydration is performed.
Fig. 6 is a structural diagram of the washing machine disclosed in patent document 3. As shown in fig. 6, the inside of the washing and dehydrating tub 602 sealed by the inner lid 601 is depressurized to suck and dehydrate the moisture in the laundry 603. The inner cover 601 is provided between the door 604 of the washing and dehydrating tub 602 and the laundry 603, and the laundry 603 is supported on the dehydrating surface 606 provided with the dehydrating opening 605. The inner lid 601 is movable between the door 604 and the laundry 603. By the suction member 607 functioning, the inner lid 601 is brought into close contact with the laundry 603, and the air is discharged and drained around the laundry 603.
In the dehydration device described in patent document 4, the space below the washing tank is decompressed by the decompression device, the pressing portion provided at the lower end of the bellows-shaped expansion portion is moved downward, and the laundry is pressed and compressed to be dehydrated.
As described above, in the conventional configurations described in patent documents 2 to 4, a predetermined dewatering performance can be achieved without rotating the washing tub. However, in the washing process, the beating is performed by rotating the drum, and the rubbing is performed by stirring with the pulsator. Therefore, there are the following problems: damage to clothes made of delicate materials, deformation of laundry due to winding and pulling, and deterioration of hand feeling.
In addition, in order to perform the washing operation from washing to dehydration, a plurality of driving units such as a motor and a suction pump are required. Therefore, the structure of the washing machine is complicated and large.

Thus, the control unit can move the air with a simple structure, and can realize stable cleaning performance and dehydration performance.
As for the washing machine of the 6 th aspect, in any one of the 1 st to 5 th aspects, the washing machine is provided with an outside air introduction portion for introducing outside air into the inside of the washing tub. The control unit is configured to drive the pump in the dehydration step, press the object to be washed by the pressing unit, suck the washing water from the object to be washed, and suck the air introduced from the outside air introduction unit.
Thus, as the washing water is continuously sucked by the pump, the outside air introduced from the outside air introduction portion is introduced into the inside of the object to be washed. Thereby, the washing water inside the object to be washed is pushed out to the outside of the object to be washed by the air and sucked. Therefore, the dehydration can be efficiently performed with a simple configuration.

The control unit 39 executes the steps from washing to dewatering as a series of operations based on the setting contents. The user can arbitrarily select the process such as only the washing process or only the dehydrating process. The setting operation may be performed after the object 2 to be cleaned is placed, as described later.
After the user operates the handle 5a and unlocks the lid body 5, the shape of the object 2 to be washed is arranged and placed on the bottom 4a of the washing tub 4. Depending on the size of the object 2 to be washed, the object may be folded. When the setting of the object to be washed 2 is completed and the lid 5 is closed and locked, the control unit 39 starts the operation according to the operation program set by the operation display unit 40.
In the first washing step of the operation program, controller 39 first performs a water supply operation. Controller 39 opens water supply valve 14 and supplies tap water and detergent as washing water from water supply path 16 to the inside of washing tub 4. At this time, the air volume adjusting valve 29 is opened, and the drain valve 22, the suction path opening/closing unit 27a, and the dehydration drain valve 36 are closed. The supplied washing water gradually permeates into the object 2 to be washed, and is included between fibers of the object 2 to be washed. Control unit 39 supplies washing water to the inside of washing tub 4 to a predetermined water level, and closes water supply valve 14 when the predetermined water level is detected by water level switch 20 of water level detection unit 17.
When the water supply is finished, the control section 39 closes the opening/closing section 11 and the air amount adjusting valve 29. The controller 39 switches the 1 st switching part 26a so that only the discharge port 10a and the pressing part 8a communicate with each other via the 1 st path 9a, and switches the 2 nd switching part 26b so that only the suction port 10b and the pressing part 8b communicate with each other via the 4 th path 9 d.
Next, the control section 39 drives the pump 10 for a predetermined time or until the pressing section 8a reaches a predetermined pressure. This sucks air in the pressing portion 8b through the 4 th path 9d, and supplies air into the pressing portion 8a through the 1 st path 9 a. Then, as shown in fig. 3A, pressing portion 8B contracts (arrow B1), and pressing portion 8a expands (arrow a 1).
Specifically, the stretchable portion 8d of the pressing portion 8a is stretched, and the pressing portion 8a is stretched in the direction of arrow a1 toward the object 2 to be washed. Thereby, the portion of the object 2 to be cleaned below the pressing portion 8a pressed by the pressed surface 8c is compressed, and the thickness is reduced. As the object 2 to be washed is compressed, the volume changes, and a part of the washing water contained in the object 2 to be washed is pushed out from the object 2 to be washed. As a result, water flow is generated inside the object 2 to be cleaned, and dirt adhering to the object 2 to be cleaned is separated from the fibers by the water flow, thereby removing the dirt.
Further, a part of the washing water contained in the inside of the object to be washed 2 moves in the inside of the object to be washed 2 from below the pressing portion 8b of the pressing portion 8a in the direction indicated by the arrow C1. The washing water thus moved pushes up the pressing surface 8c of the pressing portion 8b while expanding the object 2 to be washed below the pressing portion 8 b.
Next, the controller 39 switches the 1 st switching part 26a so that only the discharge port 10a and the pressing part 8b communicate with each other through the 2 nd path 9b, and switches the 2 nd switching part 26b so that only the suction port 10b and the pressing part 8a communicate with each other through the 3 rd path 9c, with the opening/closing part 11 and the air volume adjustment valve 29 closed.
Next, the control section 39 drives the pump 10 for a predetermined time or until the pressing section 8b reaches a predetermined pressure. This sucks air in the pressing portion 8a through the 3 rd path 9c and supplies air into the pressing portion 8b through the 2 nd path 9 b. Then, as shown in fig. 3B, pressing portion 8a contracts (arrow a2), and pressing portion 8B expands (arrow B2).
Specifically, the stretchable portion 8d of the pressing portion 8B is stretched, and the pressing portion 8B is stretched in the direction of arrow B2 toward the object 2 to be washed. Thereby, the portion of the object 2 to be cleaned below the pressing portion 8b pressed by the pressed surface 8c is compressed, and the thickness is reduced. As the object 2 to be washed is compressed, the volume changes, and a part of the washing water contained in the object 2 to be washed is pushed out from the object 2 to be washed. As a result, water flow is generated inside the object 2 to be cleaned, and dirt adhering to the object 2 to be cleaned is separated from the fibers by the water flow, thereby removing the dirt.
Further, a part of the washing water contained in the inside of the object to be washed 2 moves in the inside of the object to be washed 2 from below the pressing portion 8a of the pressing portion 8b in the direction indicated by the arrow C2. The washing water thus moved pushes up the pressing surface 8c of the pressing portion 8a while expanding the object 2 to be washed below the pressing portion 8 a.
In this way, in the washing step, the pressing portion 8a and the pressing portion 8b are repeatedly expanded and contracted at alternately different timings for a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) (for example, pressurization by expansion of the pressing portion 8a is performed for 1 second, and depressurization by contraction of the pressing portion 8b is performed for 1 second).
This allows the object 2 to be washed to exhibit a washing effect. That is, without applying mechanical force generated by stirring, beating, or the like to the object 2 to be cleaned, it is possible to generate multi-directional water flows inside the object 2 to be cleaned and remove dirt. In addition, in addition to the alternately performing the expansion and contraction of the pressing portions 8a and 8b at the predetermined timing as described above, the expansion and contraction of the pressing portions 8a and 8b may be alternately performed at a predetermined pressure.
When a washing program is set to be executed from the washing step to the dehydration step, the control unit 39 sequentially executes the rinsing step and the dehydration step following the washing step.
In the rinsing step, for example, after the water draining operation and the intermediate dewatering operation are performed, a water accumulation rinsing operation is performed.
In the water discharge operation, the water discharge valve 22 is opened to discharge the washing water in the washing tub 4 from the water discharge hole 21 to the outside through the water discharge path 23. At this time, control unit 39 opens air volume adjusting valve 29 to allow washing tub 4 to communicate with the outside air, thereby promoting air replacement and smoothly discharging the washing water.
In the intermediate dewatering operation, the control unit 39 opens the opening/closing unit 11 and the suction path opening/closing unit 27a in a state where the drain valve 22 is closed. Further, control unit 39 switches 1 st switching unit 26a so that discharge port 10a and pressing unit 8a communicate with each other via 1 st path 9a and discharge port 10a and pressing unit 8b communicate with each other via 2 nd path 9 b. That is, the supply of air to all the pressing portions 8 is switched. Further, the controller 39 closes the 2 nd switching part 26b to block the communication between the suction port 10b and all the pressing parts 8.
Subsequently, the controller 39 drives the pump 10. Pump 10 sucks the air in washing tub 4 and the washing water in object 2 through suction path 27 from suction port 25. The sucked washing water flows out from the washing tub 4 to the suction path 27 through the suction port 25 as indicated by an arrow C3, and moves to and is stored in the gas-liquid separation unit 30.
The air in the suctioned cleaning tank 4 is supplied to the pressing portions 8a and 8b through the 1 st path 9a and the 2 nd path 9b via the gas-liquid separation portion 30 and the pump 10. Thereby, as shown in fig. 4, pressing portion 8a is expanded (arrow a3), and pressing portion 8B is expanded (arrow B3). The intermediate dehydration operation is performed for a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute).
The air sucked together with the washing water enters the gas-liquid separation unit 30 from the suction port 25 through the suction path 27 and the secondary-side communication port 31. Then, the liquid is sucked into the pump 10 from the primary communication port 33 and discharged to the pressing portion 8. The washing water falls from the secondary side communication port 31 by gravity. Further, the barrier wall 34 provided between the primary side communication port 33 and the secondary side communication port 31 allows the cleaning water to be stored in the gas-liquid separation portion 30 without entering the primary side communication port 33.
In the rinsing operation with water stored, water supply valve 14 is opened to supply a predetermined amount of washing water into washing tub 4. Then, the pump 10 is driven in the same manner as in the washing step. Then, the expansion and contraction of the pressing portions 8a and 8b are alternately repeated to dilute the detergent concentration of the washing water in the object 2 to be washed. The rinsing process is repeated a plurality of times (e.g., twice).
The control unit 39 performs the spin-drying process after the rinsing process. Fig. 4 is an operation diagram showing an operation in the dehydration step of the washing machine according to the present embodiment. In the dehydration step, a drainage operation and a final dehydration operation are performed.
First, the controller 39 performs a water discharge operation. That is, the drain valve 22 is opened to drain the washing water in the washing tub 4 to the outside through the drain passage 23 from the drain hole 21. At this time, air volume adjusting valve 29 is opened to communicate the inside and outside of washing tub 4, and the washing water is smoothly discharged. Further, the air volume adjusting valve 29 is opened, all the opening/closing units 11 are closed, and the dehydration drain valve 36 is closed.
The controller 39 performs the final dewatering operation after the completion of the draining operation. The controller 39 opens the opening/closing unit 11 and the suction path opening/closing unit 27a in a state where the drain valve 22 is closed, and sets the air volume adjustment valve 29 to a predetermined opening degree. Further, control unit 39 switches 1 st switching unit 26a so that discharge port 10a and pressing unit 8a communicate with each other via 1 st path 9a and discharge port 10a and pressing unit 8b communicate with each other via 2 nd path 9 b. That is, all the pressing portions 8 are switched to be communicated to supply air. This allows the pressing portion 8 to communicate with the outside air, and the inside becomes the atmospheric pressure. Further, the control section 39 closes the 2 nd switching section 26b to shut off the communication between the suction port 10b and all the pressing sections 8.
Subsequently, the controller 39 drives the pump 10. Pump 10 sucks the air in washing tub 4 and the washing water in object 2 through suction path 27 from suction port 25. The sucked washing water flows out from the washing tub 4 to the suction path 27 through the suction port 25 as indicated by an arrow C3, and moves to and is stored in the gas-liquid separation unit 30.
The air in the suctioned cleaning tank 4 is supplied to the pressing portions 8a and 8b through the 1 st path 9a and the 2 nd path 9b via the gas-liquid separation portion 30 and the pump 10. Thereby, as shown in fig. 4, pressing portion 8a is expanded (arrow a3), and pressing portion 8B is expanded (arrow B3).
When the air in washing tub 4 is sucked, the outside air is introduced from outside air introduction section 28 into washing tub 4. However, when air volume adjustment valve 29 is throttled, sufficient outside air cannot be sucked, and the inside of washing tub 4 is depressurized to a pressure lower than that of the outside air. In this case, the supply of air from the pump 10 is small. Therefore, the external air flows from open/close portion 11 to the inside of pressing portion 8 by the pressure difference between the external air and the inside of washing tub 4, and pressing portion 8 is expanded to press object to be washed 2.
By the structure and action of the pressing portion 8, the pressing surface 8c can be pressed by being brought into close contact with the object 2 to be cleaned. The washing water contained in the inside of the object 2 to be washed can be forcibly pushed out.
The outside air flowing into washing tub 4 from outside air introduction unit 28 pushes out the washing water accumulated between the fibers of object 2 to be washed, and moves the washing water toward suction port 25. The washing water sent to the suction port 25 is sent from the suction port 25 to the gas-liquid separation unit 30 through the suction path 27, and is effectively dehydrated from the object 2 to be washed.
In addition, when the cleaning water and the air in the cleaning tank 4 are sucked, the cleaning water and the air pass through the path with the least resistance. Therefore, a short-circuit path containing no washing water is formed inside the object 2 to be washed as the dehydration progresses. The air flow of the air is concentrated on the short-circuited path, and the suction of the washing water is stopped.
However, in the present embodiment, since the object 2 to be cleaned is always pressurized at a constant pressure by the pressing portion 8, the formation of the short-circuit path is suppressed. This promotes the suction and dehydration of the washing water sucked together with the outside air introduced into washing tub 4 without stagnation. In this way, the pressing portion 8 is expanded by the pump 10, and the pressing surface 8c of the pressing portion 8 is brought into close contact with the object 2 to be washed, thereby uniformly pressing the object. As a result, the outside air can be introduced into the inside of the object 2 to be cleaned, and a predetermined dewatering performance can be obtained.
The control unit 39 uses the pump 10 to suck the washing water together with the outside air introduced into the washing tub 4. When a predetermined time (for example, 4 minutes) has elapsed, the driving of the pump 10 is stopped, and the dehydration step is ended.
In the dehydration step, when the washing water flows into the gas-liquid separation unit 30 in excess of the set amount, the control unit 39 stops the pump 10 when the overflow detection unit 38 detects this. Then, the closed dehydration drain valve 36 is opened to discharge the washing water to the outside.
In the present embodiment, in the intermediate dehydration operation and the dehydration step, air sucked together with the washing water from the inside of washing tub 4 is supplied to pressing section 8 via pump 10 and moved. However, the air may be discharged to the outside without moving to the pressing portion 8.
In the present embodiment, the 1 st switching part 26a is provided at the branching part of the pressurizing path 9, and the 2 nd switching part 26b is provided at the branching part of the depressurizing path 90. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and may be configured as follows: a pressurizing path and a pressure reducing path are provided for each of the plurality of pressing portions, and an on-off valve for opening and closing each path is provided.
In the dehydration step, opening/closing section 11 is opened, and the interior of pressing section 8 is opened to the atmosphere, and pressing is performed by the pressure difference with the interior of washing tub 4. However, the pump 10 may be driven by closing the opening/closing unit 11. With this configuration, pressing is performed in a state where the interior of pressing portion 8 is raised to a predetermined pressure by supplying air to pressing portion 8 through outside air introduction portion 28. Thereby, dehydration proceeds more strongly than when the atmosphere is opened. However, since the pressure difference between the inside of the pressing portion 8 and the inside of the washing tub 4 increases, the pressing portion 8 is reinforced, and the setting of the predetermined pressure is considered. Further, it is desirable to set the predetermined pressure in consideration of the influence on delicate laundry.
As described above, the washing machine of the present embodiment includes: a washing tank 4 for storing the object 2 to be washed and washing water; a pressing portion 8 for pressing the object 2 to be cleaned in the cleaning tank 4; a pump 10 (pressurizing unit) for supplying air to the pressing unit 8 to pressurize the same; a pump 10 (suction unit) for sucking washing water from the object 2 to be washed; a pressurizing path 9 connecting the pressing portion 8 and a discharge port 10a of the pump 10; a suction path 27 connecting the cleaning tank 4 and the suction port 10b of the pump 10; and a control unit 39 for controlling the washing step, the rinsing step, and the spin-drying step to perform the washing operation. The control unit 39 is configured to perform press washing for pressing the object 2 by supplying air to the pressing portion 8 in the washing step, and to perform suction dehydration for sucking the washing water from the object 2 in the dehydration step. The washing machine is further provided with a pump 10, and the pump 10 has a discharge port 10a and a suction port 10b and also serves as a pressurizing unit and a suction unit.
Thus, the object 2 to be washed, which is not suitable for washing or squeezing by applying a mechanical force to the object 2 to be washed, can be efficiently washed and dewatered without damaging the object 2 to be washed by pressing the object 2 to be washed in the washing step to wash the object and by sucking the washing water from the object 2 to be washed in the dewatering step to dewater the object. Further, since the pressurizing operation in the washing step and the sucking operation in the dewatering step can be performed by one pump 10, the structure can be simplified and downsized.
In addition, the washing machine of the present embodiment is provided with a plurality of pressing portions 8, and includes: a decompression path 90 connecting the pressing portion 8 and the suction port 10 b; a1 st switching portion 26a provided in the pressurizing path 9 and switching communication between the plurality of pressing portions 8 and the discharge port 10 a; and a2 nd switching portion 26b provided in the pressure reducing path 90 and switching communication between the plurality of pressing portions 8 and the suction port 10 b. The control unit 39 is configured to drive the pump 10 in the washing step and switch the 1 st switching unit 26a and the 2 nd switching unit 26b to repeat the operation of discharging the air sucked from one pressing unit 8a to the other pressing unit 8b and the operation of discharging the air sucked from the other pressing unit 8b to the one pressing unit 8a, so that the pressing units 8a and 8b are alternately expanded and contracted to press the object 2 to be washed.
Thus, the pump 10 moves air between the plurality of pressing portions 8, alternately presses different portions of the object 2 to be washed, and performs press washing. Therefore, the amount of air in cleaning tank 4 does not change during the cleaning process, and the pressing force can be kept constant, so that the object to be cleaned can be cleaned efficiently.
In the washing machine of the present embodiment, the suction path 27 is provided with the gas-liquid separation unit 30, and the gas-liquid separation unit 30 separates the air sucked from the washing tub 4 from the washing water. In the dehydration step, controller 39 is configured to drive pump 10 to suck the air and the washing water in washing tub 4 and to accumulate the washing water in gas-liquid separator 30.
This enables the pump 10 to efficiently suck the washing water from the object 2 to be washed and dewater the water, thereby saving space and efficiently dewatering the water.
The washing machine of the present embodiment is provided with an opening/closing unit 11, and the opening/closing unit 11 opens and closes to communicate the inside of the pressing unit 8 with the outside air. In the dehydration step, control unit 39 is configured to open opening/closing unit 11 and drive pump 10 to suck the washing water contained in object to be washed 2 in washing tub 4, to reduce the pressure inside washing tub 4, to make the insides of pressing portions 8a and 8b at atmospheric pressure via opening/closing unit 11, and to press object to be washed 2 by pressing portion 8.
This allows the object 2 to be washed to be pressed by the pressure difference between the inside of washing tub 4, which has been depressurized by suction with pump 10, and pressing section 8, which is opened to the atmosphere by opening/closing section 11. Therefore, the dewatering can be efficiently performed with a simple configuration without depending on the amount of air sucked from the object 2 to be cleaned.
In addition, in washing machine 1 of the present embodiment, switching is performed so that discharge port 10a of pump 10 communicates with any one of plurality of pressing portions 8, or discharge port 10a communicates with all pressing portions 8. The 2 nd switching portion 26b is configured to switch between communicating the suction port 10b of the pump 10 with any one of the pressing portions 8 and blocking communication between the suction port 10b and all the pressing portions 8.
Thus, the control unit 39 can move the air with a simple configuration, and can realize stable cleaning performance and dehydration performance.
In addition, the washing machine of the present embodiment is provided with an outside air introducing portion 28, and the outside air introducing portion 28 introduces outside air into the interior of washing tub 4. The controller 39 is configured to drive the pump 10 in the dehydration step, press the object to be washed 2 by the pressing portion 8, suck the washing water from the object to be washed 2, and suck the air introduced from the outside air introduction portion 28.
As the pump 10 continues to suck the washing water, the outside air introduced from the outside air introduction portion 28 is introduced into the inside of the object 2 to be washed. Thereby, the washing water inside the object 2 is pushed out to the outside of the object 2 by the air and sucked. Therefore, the dehydration can be efficiently performed with a simple configuration.
Industrial applicability
As described above, the washing machine of the present disclosure can efficiently perform washing and dehydration without damaging the objects to be washed. Further, the washing operation from the washing step to the dehydration step can be performed by one pump. Thus, the washing machine can be simplified and miniaturized in structure, and is useful as a washing machine.
