In this storage barrel 38, dispose silver electrode 37.Each electrode 37a, the 37b of this silver electrode 37 is electrically connected with the splicing ear 31a illustrating above, one end of 31b.In addition, above-mentioned demarcation strip 36 has the function that makes storage barrel 38 store certain water, exceedes a certain amount of water and can cross the upper limb of (overflowing) demarcation strip 36, flows out to diapire 30e.
The demarcation strip 36 that forms storage barrel 38 stops the running water that the 1st supply port 24b of the ingress pipe 24 from illustrating supplies with above, make to store all the time a certain amount of water, make the stripping of silver ion reliable and stable, the minimizing that makes electrode is not local, but from leading section loss reliably.Therefore, the upper ora terminalis of demarcation strip 36 is formed as to the height that silver electrode 37 all can be under water.In addition, as shown in Figure 6, the water of supplying with from the 1st supply port 24b is fed between silver electrode 37 and antetheca 30a.Thus, in storage barrel 38, store all the time a certain amount of water, between silver electrode 37, flow simultaneously, overflow demarcation strip 36 and flow out.Therefore, silver electrode 37, and goes out from demarcation strip 36 effluents to stripping silver ion in water with state all under water, can make stripping quantity stable, simultaneously also not loss partly of electrode.
And the diapire 30e of ion box 30, is formed with multiple hole 30j of rectangle at the diapire 30e of a side of overflowing and flowing out from demarcation strip 36.The plurality of hole 30j is as preventing that the cowling panel that supplied with water splashes, disperses from playing a role.Below the part that is formed with the plurality of hole is described as cowling panel 30k.Be made as the 2nd supply port 24c of above-mentioned ingress pipe 24 and the formation that this cowling panel 30k is positioned accordingly.Therefore, even supply with a large amount of water from the 2nd supply port 24c, also can utilize the anti-sealing of multiple hole 30j of cowling panel 30k to splash, disperse, can carry out rectification to supplied with water, its base plate 20b to case 20 is flowed out.In addition, the shape of the hole 30j of cowling panel 30k is not limited to rectangle, can be also square, hexagon, circle etc.Shape if so, aligned apertures without any confusion.But, even also can fully achieve the goal in the hole of the shape that can not arrange without any confusion.
Form the configuration that is positioned of mode that the silver electrode 37a that is located at storage barrel 38, the 37b of above-mentioned ion stripping portion 32 narrow with the interval of the end face side of a side contrary with splicing ear side., locate silver electrode 37a, 37b in the mode narrowing gradually towards the interval of end face side from splicing ear side with Eight characters shape.About this location, by arranging from the outstanding rib of the diapire 30e of ion box 30, make electrode along this rib, thereby can position.In addition, meanwhile, for making the reliable object in this location, be provided with resinous electrode hood 39 to surround the mode of silver electrode 37.
As shown in Figure 6, above-mentioned electrode hood 39 is formed as becoming the rectangular shape of front openings below, is provided with the upper intermarginal multiple trestle 39c(that are erected at two side 39a, the 39b corresponding with the platen surface of electrode with reference to Figure 10).In addition, be formed with in an end face side relative with next door 30b side that electrode hood 39 is assembled to (engagement) is the receiving portion 39d of U word shape roughly to the cross section of storage barrel 38, in the other end of a side contrary to it side, as shown in Figure 8, be formed with in the stop hole 30l that is inserted into the diapire 30e that is located at storage barrel 38 and be limited to the engagement pawl 39e of diapire 30e.In addition, comprise the trimmer 39f(keeping hanging down downwards with reference to Fig. 6, Fig. 8 between two electrodes 37) interior, be integrally formed at the trestle 39c of electrode hood 39.
On the other hand, next door 30b is upper, is provided with accordingly and is limited to this receiving portion 39d and supported protuberance 30m with the receiving portion 39d of an end face side that is located at electrode hood 39.Therefore, make its strain by engagement pawl 39e is inserted to stop hole 30l, make receiving portion 39d cross the protuberance 30m of next door 30b, thus make receiving portion 39d with the attitude that supports protuberance 30m by engagement, electrode hood 39 is mounted to storage barrel 38.Thus, as shown in Figure 6, utilize trimmer 39f that the interval of silver electrode 37a, 37b is remained necessarily, and guarantee for Eight characters state.About pulling down of electrode hood 30, by the engagement pawl 39e that is limited to diapire 30e is removed, can pull down simply electrode hood 39.
In addition, above-mentioned storage barrel 38 storage of water in the time of ion stripping.Therefore, if under the state that does not carry out ion stripping also storage of water still, not preferred as electrode.Therefore, be formed with osculum 30n at the diapire 30e of storage barrel 38.This osculum 30n, in order to make draining good, also can be formed as funnel shaped.Therefore,, if stop the supply of running water, the water in storage barrel 38 can all be discharged from by osculum 30n.But in the situation that carrying out ion stripping, the mode that osculum 30n is less than with the water yield being discharged from the water yield of supplying with to storage barrel 38 from the 1st supply port 24b by ingress pipe 24 is set the opening diameter in hole.Therefore, even discharge water from osculum 30n, in the water being supplied to, also can be stored in storage barrel 38, flow out from demarcation strip 36.
In the washing machine of ion unit 10 with formation described above, carry out the job description of ion unit 10 below in conjunction with the job description of washing machine.
In washing machine 1, from gateway 6, washings is put into washing dehydration cylinder 9, close upper cover 8.In the time utilizing operating portion 4 to select wash conditions instruction to wash beginning, utilize lid to open and close sensor detection upper cover part 8 and closed, just carry out washing procedure and drying process.
(the supply work of washings)
In washing procedure, not shown feed water valve is opened, and running water is via above-mentioned ion unit 10, and the water filling path of the base plate 20b by case 20 is injected into washing dehydration cylinder 9.Now, running water is by being located at the water receiving pipe 21 of case 20 of ion unit 10, via the ingress pipe 24 in case, flow into ion box 30 by the 1st and the 2nd supply port 24b, 24c, a part via ion stripping portion 32 by cowling panel 30k to current rectification, the water filling path of the base plate 20b by case 20 is from opening 20a to 9 water fillings of washing dehydration cylinder.Ion stripping portion 32 is in the time of washing procedure, if silver ion button etc. are not operated, not to silver electrode 37 service voltages.In addition, be described later, user is to washing dehydration cylinder 9 putting detergents.
In addition, in the time utilizing operating portion 4 to carry out in washing, utilize the selection operation of water for bathing, not shown known water for bathing supply pump is started working.Thus, aspirate water for bathing to water for bathing supply unit 19, by the water for bathing water receiving pipe 22 of case 20, from introducing port 26 via base plate 20b from opening 20a to 9 water fillings of washing dehydration cylinder.Now, water for bathing is injected into via (same) case 20 that shares that running water is injected to washing dehydration cylinder 9.But water for bathing can, to ion stripping portion 32 side inflows, needn't not be worried bathing water pollution silver electrode 37 under the state that ion box 30 is installed.
Like this, at same and shared position, position (case) carry out the supply of running water or the supply of water for bathing, therefore tool has the following advantages: the path of the washings (handbag is drawn together water for bathing etc.) that comprise running water can be simplified, and correspondingly the feed path of washings can be configured to compactness.
In the past, ion stripping portion must be arranged on the diverse position of feed path with washings in the confession water route of the sealing state of running water, must be arranged on the position that only can process running water, must divide and be arranged with the stream of sending into the supply position of after ion stripping, the washings such as water for bathing being injected to washing dehydration cylinder 9.Therefore, need to arrange in the position of ion stripping portion distinctly for water route etc., therefore not only need for distinguishing for water route and supplying with the space etc. of the more streams such as road, and the feed path that comprises washings be complicated, has volume to become large tendency.And ion dissolving device of the present utility model (ion unit 10) can be eliminated such problem together.
As mentioned above, the washings of running water or water for bathing are injected into washing dehydration cylinder 9, in the time having the water of ormal weight, utilize the detection of level sensor to make feed water valve close (or the work of water for bathing supply pump stops).Then, impeller (stirring vane) rotation, the water in agitator treating dehydration tube 9 carries out washing work.
In the time starting washing work through the stipulated time, open draining valve, the water in washing dehydration cylinder 9 is discharged from.After this draining, make washing dehydration cylinder 9 High Rotation Speeds carry out dehydration work by the driving of motor of washing use.By the High Rotation Speed of washing dehydration cylinder 9, the water of deviating from from washings flows out from dewatering hole, discharges to the outside of washing dehydration cylinder 9 by draining valve.
(work in ion stripping)
In the time starting dehydration work through the stipulated time, motor stops, and closes draining valve and opens feed water valve.In the time storing the water of ormal weight in washing dehydration cylinder 9, utilize the detection of level sensor that feed water valve is closed.Then, impeller rotation, the water in agitator treating dehydration tube 9 carries out rinsing work.
In this rinsing work, ion unit 10 of the present utility model is worked, to stripping silver ion in supplied with water, to 9 water fillings of washing dehydration cylinder.Describe this work below in detail.
First,, in the time that feed water valve is opened, running water imports to case 20 via the water receiving pipe 21 of ion unit 10 by feed water valve.The water receiving is via ingress pipe 24, and the storage barrel 38 from the 1st supply port 24b to ion box 30 is supplied with.In addition, remaining running water is all directly supplied to the cowling panel 30k of ion box 30 from the 2nd supply port 24c.Be supplied to the water of this cowling panel 30k more than the amount of the water of supplying with to storage barrel 38, occur reflecting back, disperse etc. in the time falling etc., become large fluctuating flow, inject to washing dehydration cylinder 9 via the water filling path of the base plate 20b of case 20.Worry following situation: in the time opening upper cover 8, can disperse to mounting washing machine 1 floor or user with it.
To this, according to the utility model, the running water falling by the effect of cowling panel 30k utilizes multiple hole 30j to prevent from reflecting back, dispersing, and sends, from opening 20a to 9 water fillings of washing dehydration cylinder with the form of current being carried out to rectification to base plate 20b.Thus, even if a large amount of running water falls supply, current also can be rectified, and to 9 water fillings of washing dehydration cylinder.In addition, owing to preventing dispersing, therefore can not make the water dispersing flow out, spill to other place.Therefore,, by cowling panel 30k is located to ion box 30, can eliminate the worry of water to electrical connection section immersion for to the feeding terminal, the connecting line etc. that are arranged on silver electrode 37 service voltages in ion box 30 etc.
As long as water is supplied with to above-mentioned storage barrel 38, water can be stored to the height of the demarcation strip 36 that forms this storage barrel 38.The water of storage exceedes demarcation strip 36 and overflows, and goes out to above-mentioned cowling panel 30k effluent.Now, silver electrode 37 is all immersed in the water of storage, supplies with by voltage, and electric current flows between electrode.Thus, (by electrolysis) make silver ion stripping.The water of the silver ion that comprises stripping, because the running water that continues to supply with overflows (crossing) partition wall 36, flows out from storage barrel 38.The water (silver ion interpolation water) of the silver ion that comprises outflow flows through the base plate 20b of cowling panel 30k, case 20, injects to washing dehydration cylinder 9 from opening 20a.
Above-mentioned silver electrode 37 fills all the time and under the state in a certain amount of water, carries out ion stripping being immersed in supplied with running water.Stripping has the water of this silver ion to overflow and flow out with the amount of determining from demarcation strip 36.Therefore, the stripping of ion is stablized and is carried out reliably, can supply with to washing dehydration cylinder 9 the interpolation water of the silver ion of expecting concentration.
In addition, determine that the water of amount flows and flows out 37 of silver electrode, therefore can eliminate silver electrode random loss partly, also can eliminate the unfavorable condition that silver electrode stage casing is fractureed.According to the utility model, silver electrode 37 is configured to Eight characters shape by the mode narrowing with the interval of leading section, from little by little loss of leading section.Therefore, can extend the life-span of expensive silver electrode 37.
In the time that rinsing is worked, the antibacterial treatment of the silver ion of expecting by operation silver ion button, adds water thereby supply with as mentioned above silver ion.And, if injected to washing dehydration cylinder 9 according to the definite water of the amount of washings, in the time being detected by level sensor, close feed water valve.Meanwhile, silver ion stripping work also stops, and stops supplying with to the voltage of silver electrode 37.In addition, stop to the timing of silver electrode 37 service voltages can not be also and the action of closing feed water valve simultaneously, but stop before this.
In the time closing feed water valve, in order to carry out the rinsing of washings, drive impeller rotation, carry out rinsing.In the time starting the work of impeller in order to carry out this rinsing work and passed through the stipulated time, dehydration work is similarly carried out in the dehydration work during with washing.And in the time that the stipulated time has been carried out in dehydration work, washing procedure finishes.Thus, make silver ion soak into washings, carry out antibacterial treatment.
In addition, in the time of rinsing process, even if close above-mentioned feed water valve and stop the supply of running water, storage barrel 38 is also still full of supplied with running water.But owing to being provided with osculum 30n in storage barrel 38, the water therefore stored can be discharged from from osculum 30n.Therefore, can in storage barrel 38, not have all the time water, but all be discharged from, can prevent that silver electrode 37 is exposed in water all the time.
In the past, need to be for silver electrode being set hermetically in water route, be therefore made as tilted shape with respect to water (flow) direction to the configuration section of major general's silver electrode, stop also can being detained for feedwater of running water even if prevent.Therefore, if tilted shape is put upside down, water can be detained as former state, requires the precision design for water route.But, according to the utility model, due to storage barrel 38 being set, osculum 30n is set herein, therefore needn't be configured to tilted shape.Consequently, can increase in design the free degree.That is, it is impossible that osculum 30n was set in the past as the utility model, prevents that hydropexic formation from being necessary.
(replacing of ion box of the present utility model)
Explanation as mentioned above, in the time carrying out the washing of washing machine 1, in the case of the operation of antibacterial treatment of carrying out silver ion, silver electrode at every turn all can loss.
Due to silver electrode loss, can be absorbed in supplying with and expect that the silver ion of concentration adds the state of water.Known for detection of the method for such state, as long as utilize this known method, device to carry out the notice for changing silver electrode.
For example,, as long as adopt the disclosed method of patent documentation 2, device.Therefore, the current detection circuit that the electric current to flowing through silver electrode 37 detects and the voltage control circuit of controlling the voltage that is supplied to silver electrode 37 based on this detection electric current are set.Voltage control circuit, in the time that the magnitude of current reduces due to the loss of silver electrode 37, is set highly based on this by voltage, adds the mode that certain electric current of water flows through and controls can supply with the silver ion of determined concentration.But, in the case of set voltage because the further loss of electrode 37 exceedes threshold value, just can not flow through certain electric current, urge replacing silver electrode 37 notice.Urge the notice of the replacing of silver electrode 37 to be shown by the display part of being located at operating portion 4.As long as meanwhile output notice sound etc., just can notify to user reliably.
Carry out the replacing of ion box 30 by above notice.This replacing can be changed by user self certainly, does not need on-call maintenance personnel.In order to change ion box 30, under the state shown in Fig. 2, open upper cover 8.As shown in Figure 1, opening under the state of upper cover 8, the covering shown in Fig. 2 is hidden to the decorative panel 13 above of ion box 30 and pull down from support component 12.
In the time pulling down decorative panel (cover) 13, under the state shown in Fig. 1, the antetheca 30a of ion box 30 can expose above.The screw of protuberance 12a of support component 12 on the top that is positioned at this antetheca 30a is removed.In the time that screw is removed, the handle 30i that finger is placed on to ion box 30 is upper, slightly forwards pulls out ion box 30.The ion box 30 being drawn out can be positioned at the pulling down of connector 35 of its antetheca 30a.The intercalation part 35b on the top of this connector 35 is pulled down from the receptacle portion 35a that remains secured to antetheca 30a.Thus, ion box 30 can be pulled down completely from case 20.
Replace the above ion box 30 of pulling down, prepare new ion box 30, it is aimed at next door 30b, sidewall 30c to the bullport (gap of the side plate 20e of the case 20 shown in Fig. 8 and the gap of guide plate 25a and vertical 20h and guide plate 25b) of case 20 sides.Then, ion box 30 is pushed to case 20.Under the state being pushed into midway, after the intercalation part 35b of body of the washing machine side is electrically connected with receptacle portion 35a, ion box 30 is pushed completely.Thus, the protuberance 12a of support component 12 is embedded into the recess 30h of the antetheca 30a of ion box 30, uses the screw of pulling down to be fixed.And, the decorative panel 13 above that covers ion box 30 is assembled to support component 12, from completing the replacing of ion box 30.
As mentioned above, about the replacing of ion box 30, can change in the position that the washings such as running water, water for bathing are injected to washing dehydration cylinder (cylindric washer) 9, can be made as forming of being changed by user simply.
In addition, because ion box 30 is water filling paths that washings are injected to washing dehydration cylinder 9, needn't as recorded in patent documentation 2, be arranged on the top of washing machine 1 main body, be arranged in the confession water route of the sealing state that the feed water valve of board rises from behind, therefore ion box 30 can not given prominence to from top.Therefore, can not hindered by this ion box 30, the position that washing machine 1 is set also can not be limited.And, because there is not ledge, so the short transverse of the packaging external appearance in when packaging can not become greatly yet, piling up etc. in the time carrying, carry, also advantageously play a role.
(other form and the mode of ion dissolving device of the present utility model)
The utility model is that storage barrel 38 is set in ion dissolving device, makes ion add the formation that water overflows and supplies with to washing dehydration cylinder 9 from this storage barrel 38.Therefore, can make the ion concentration of stripping stable.
; in the case of in the past in water route with sealing state configuration ion generating unit, all running water are by this ion generating unit, therefore by time ion generating unit become obstruction; cannot expect the fully water supply of amount, thereby suppress the flow of the washings that lead to washing dehydration cylinder 9.In order to address this problem, must the stream for water route and the amount being hindered by ion generating unit correspondingly be formed greatly.
Therefore, be limited to tail off for the amount of the water passing through between electrode of released ion, avoid this ion stripping portion, there is no released ion and the amount of the water that is supplied to as former state increases.Therefore, in order to obtain the concentration of ion stripping of target, tend to improve service voltage, increase the magnitude of current.If like this, become large for eliminating the difficulty of insulating properties problem and safety issue.
And on the other hand, according to ion dissolving device of the present utility model, be the formation of ion stripping portion being located to storage barrel 38, therefore within the scope of the water yield of determined amount, carrying out all the time ion stripping, the ion that can easily supply with determined concentration adds water.In addition, needn't boosted voltage, increase the magnitude of current, and the ion that can supply with full concentration adds water.
(alternate manner of storage barrel of the present utility model)
Therefore, below the running water (water) that is supplied to storage barrel 38 is effectively flowed between two electrode 37a, 37b, the alternate manner that carries out well ion stripping describes.
The demarcation strip 36 that forms storage barrel 38 is set as the height that makes electrode 37 under water, and on it, ora terminalis is set as level.About such mode, in the embodiment above, be illustrated.According to such mode, the running water that is supplied to storage barrel 38 in Figure 10 overflow equably demarcation strip 36 upper ora terminalis whole region and flow out, flow out from storage barrel 38 in the mode across silver electrode 37.Therefore, can form to traverse two silver electrodes 37 direction flow, stripping has the water of ion to flow out from storage barrel 38.
Therefore,, in mode shown below, extend the water route of flowing out from storage barrel 38.As shown in Figure 8, storage barrel 38 forms more longways in the direction consistent with the length direction of silver electrode 37.In addition, between the front end of silver electrode 37 and sidewall 30c, be formed with suitable interval.The following describes the formation that this interval plays a role as water route.
In Fig. 8, demarcation strip 36 is formed as exceeding than the upper ora terminalis of silver electrode 37.So that the upper ora terminalis of demarcation strip 36 is formed as tilted shape by the upper end of the sidewall 30c side of this demarcation strip 36 mode slightly higher than the next door 30b side of opposition side.
By formation demarcation strip 36 described above, in Figure 10, in the time supplying feedwater by the 1st supply port 24b of ingress pipe 24, as flowing of water, flow from the sidewall 30c that for example 31b side direction in next door is contrary, interval between silver electrode 37 front ends and sidewall 30c is as flow path, and then flows from sidewall 30c to next door 30b.This flow midway from demarcation strip 36 ora terminalis overflow successively and flow out.Therefore, be formed on the round water route of length direction of silver electrode 37.Thus, mobile water is elongated by the time of silver electrode 37, can carry out well ion stripping.
In addition, in order to form reliably to the stream of the water of the length direction of electrode 37, so that the mode that a side relative with splicing ear 31 sides uprises is formed obliquely the upper ora terminalis of demarcation strip 36.This is contrary with the formation of above-mentioned demarcation strip 36.By adopting such formation, can form the water that makes to be supplied to storage barrel 38 to the water route (stream) of the sidewall 30c side flow of opposition side, overflow demarcation strip 36 and flow out along these current via above-mentioned interval.Thus, can form the water route of leading to along the direction of the length direction of electrode.
In addition,, according to which, the unidirectional water route that becomes the length direction of silver electrode 37 forms.Therefore, the interval of energy constriction silver electrode 37 front ends and sidewall 30c.If like this, can form ion box 30 entirety littlely.
As described above, the shape of the upper ora terminalis by design demarcation strip 36, be made as tilted shape, the water route (stream) in the interior formation of storage barrel 38 to the length direction of silver electrode 37.Thus, the running water that is supplied to storage barrel 38 is elongated by the time of silver electrode 37, even the low ion concentration that also can improve abundant stripping of voltage.
(structure that washings are injected to washing dehydration cylinder)
The utility model utilizes the above-mentioned characteristic of ion dissolving device to form, and the structure of injecting water for bathing as washings also has a characteristic structure.
