Description

本発明は、電気洗濯機に関する。   The present invention relates to an electric washing machine.

電気洗濯機(電気洗濯乾燥機)における洗いは、洗剤の化学的な洗浄力を有効に活用することによって洗濯物に対して作用させる機械力を軽減することができる。   Washing in an electric washing machine (electric washing dryer) can reduce the mechanical force that acts on the laundry by effectively utilizing the chemical cleaning power of the detergent.

洗濯物に付着した汚れに対して洗剤の化学的な洗浄力を有効に作用させるためには、粉末洗剤を高濃度に溶解して洗濯物に降り掛けて浸沈させることが必要であり、粉末洗剤を溶解して降り掛ける高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置を付加することが必要である。   In order for chemical cleaning power of the detergent to effectively act on the dirt adhering to the laundry, it is necessary to dissolve the powder detergent in a high concentration, dip it on the laundry and submerge it. It is necessary to add a high-concentration detergent liquid production and supply device that dissolves and dries the detergent.

このような高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置は、洗剤溶解液を溢水させる溢水縁と該溢水縁よりも低い水位で導通するサイフォン通水機構を有する洗剤溶解容器と、この洗剤溶解容器の底部に配設した偏平な円盤状の洗剤撹拌翼と、この洗剤撹拌翼を駆動する撹拌電動機と、前記洗剤溶解容器に給水する給水電磁弁とを備え、前記洗剤撹拌翼は、前記洗剤溶解容器の底壁を貫通した垂直方向の駆動軸に嵌着し、前記洗剤溶解容器内で前記サイフォン通水機構の導通水位よりも低い水位に洗剤溶解水を給水した状態で洗剤撹拌翼を回転させて粉末洗剤を撹拌溶解して生成した超高濃度洗剤液を希釈給水によって希釈して前記溢水縁およびサイフォン通水機構を通して流出させて洗濯物に降り掛けるように構成している。   Such a high-concentration detergent liquid production and supply device is arranged at the bottom of the detergent dissolution container, and has a detergent dissolution container having an overflow edge that overflows the detergent dissolution liquid and a siphon water flow mechanism that conducts at a level lower than the overflow edge. A flat disk-shaped detergent stirring blade, a stirring motor for driving the detergent stirring blade, and a water supply electromagnetic valve for supplying water to the detergent dissolution container, the detergent stirring blade being a bottom wall of the detergent dissolution container The detergent detergent container is fitted with a vertical drive shaft, and the detergent agitation blade is rotated in a state where the detergent dissolution water is supplied to a level lower than the conduction water level of the siphon passage mechanism in the detergent dissolution container. An ultra-high-concentration detergent solution generated by stirring and dissolving is diluted with a diluted water supply, and is discharged through the overflow edge and the siphon water-flow mechanism so as to fall on the laundry.

特開2002−360981号公報JP 2002-360981 A

このような高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置は、底部に偏平な円盤形状の洗剤撹拌翼が設置された洗剤溶解容器は、洗剤撹拌翼の周囲や上方に大きな空間が存在することから、洗剤撹拌翼を回転させると粉末洗剤が前記空間に逃げ易く、従って、粉末洗剤を粉末洗剤溶解水に効率良く溶解させる撹拌力を有効に作用させることが困難である。   Such a high-concentration detergent liquid production and supply apparatus has a large space around or above the detergent stirring blade in the detergent dissolution container in which the flat disk-shaped detergent stirring blade is installed at the bottom. When the is rotated, the powder detergent easily escapes into the space. Therefore, it is difficult to effectively act on the stirring force for efficiently dissolving the powder detergent in the powder detergent water.

粉末洗剤に大きな撹拌力を作用させるためには、洗剤撹拌翼を高速度で回転させれば良いが、洗剤撹拌翼を高速回転させると粉末洗剤溶解水も高速で回転することから、遠心力で外周部が迫り上がって洗剤溶解容器から溢れ出てしまう問題が発生し、また、粉末洗剤も拡散して付着領域が拡大することから、それらの対策が必要となってくる。   In order to apply a large stirring force to the powder detergent, the detergent stirring blade may be rotated at a high speed. However, if the detergent stirring blade is rotated at a high speed, the powder detergent water will also rotate at a high speed. There arises a problem that the outer peripheral portion is swollen and overflows from the detergent dissolution container, and the powder detergent is also diffused and the adhesion area is enlarged, so that countermeasures are required.

また、この高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置は、構成部品が多いことから複雑で高価になり、更に、大型であることから電気洗濯機への組み込み位置の制約が多かった。   In addition, this high concentration detergent liquid production and supply apparatus is complicated and expensive due to the large number of components, and further, since it is large in size, there are many restrictions on the installation position in the electric washing machine.

更に、この高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置は、粉末洗剤投入(補給)のために、衣類投入口を開閉する大きな外蓋を開閉操作することが必要であり、使い勝手が悪い。   Furthermore, this high-concentration detergent liquid production and supply apparatus requires opening and closing a large outer lid that opens and closes the clothes insertion port in order to supply (supplement) the powder detergent, which is inconvenient.

本発明の1つの目的は、粉末洗剤の溶解効率を高めることができる高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置を提供することにある。   One object of the present invention is to provide a high-concentration detergent liquid production and supply device capable of increasing the dissolution efficiency of a powder detergent.

本発明の他の目的は、小形で使い易い形態に電気洗濯機に設置し易い高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置を提供することにある。   Another object of the present invention is to provide a high-concentration detergent liquid production and supply device that is easy to install in an electric washing machine in a small and easy-to-use form.

本発明の更に他の目的は、衣類投入口を開閉する大きな外蓋を開閉操作することなく粉末洗剤を容易に投入(補給)することができる使い勝手の良い高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置を提供することにある。   Still another object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-use high-concentration detergent liquid generation and supply device that can easily supply (supplement) powder detergent without opening and closing a large outer lid that opens and closes a clothing input port.

The diluted water is poured into the ultra-high-concentration detergent solution produced in (5) and used as a dilution space (within the H dimension) where it is dropped on the laundry while being stirred and diluted. In this embodiment, the lower space 221a is formed to have a capacity suitable for producing an approximately 300 to 600 milliliter ultrahigh concentration detergent solution.

この粉末洗剤溶解容器221の下部空間221aの底部には、棒状形態に構成した洗剤撹拌部材223を回転可能に横置き状態、すなわち、洗剤撹拌部材223の回転軸が水平状態となるように収容する。この洗剤撹拌部材223は、回転軸223aの外周に撹拌羽根223bを突出させた構成で、回転軸方向の寸法が回転軸を横切る方向の寸法よりも大きな回転体であり、その軸端部には、従動プーリ223cを嵌着しておく。洗剤撹拌部材223が対向する粉末洗剤溶解容器221の下部空間221aの底面は、洗剤撹拌部材223が回転することにより該洗剤撹拌部材223の撹拌羽根223bの外周部が描く回転軌跡(直径寸法d)と同心円で僅かに大きな半円形状(直径寸法D)に湾曲した形状とする。   In the bottom of the lower space 221a of the powder detergent dissolution container 221, a detergent stirring member 223 configured in a rod shape is accommodated in a horizontally placed state, that is, so that the rotation shaft of the detergent stirring member 223 is in a horizontal state. . The detergent stirring member 223 has a configuration in which a stirring blade 223b protrudes from the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 223a, and is a rotating body whose dimension in the rotating shaft direction is larger than the dimension in the direction crossing the rotating shaft. Then, the driven pulley 223c is fitted. The bottom surface of the lower space 221a of the powder detergent dissolution container 221 opposed to the detergent stirring member 223 is a rotation locus (diameter dimension d) drawn by the outer periphery of the stirring blade 223b of the detergent stirring member 223 as the detergent stirring member 223 rotates. And a slightly curved semicircular shape (diameter dimension D) with a concentric circle.

The detergent dissolution drive motor 224 has a drive pulley 224 a fitted on a rotating shaft, and is connected to a driven pulley 223 c of the detergent stirring member 223 by a belt 225. The detergent dissolution driving electric motor 224 can be operated at a high rotational speed that drives the detergent stirring member 223 at a speed of approximately 2000 to 3000 rpm and a low rotational speed that drives the detergent stirring member 223 at a speed of approximately 500 to 1000 rpm. Configure as follows.

また、この粉末洗剤溶解容器221には、超高濃度洗剤液を希釈して生成した高濃度洗剤液を吸い出して洗濯兼脱水槽2内の洗濯物に降り掛けて該洗濯物に浸透させるサイフォン機構226を取り付ける。このサイフォン機構226は、底壁を貫通して容器内に起立して吸い出し開始位置(高さ)に開口する吸い出し管226aと、この吸い出し管226aの外周を覆うように伸びて吸い出し終了位置(高さ)に開口する吸い上げ管226bと、吸い出し管226aで吸い出した高濃度洗剤液を洗濯兼脱水槽2内の洗濯物に降り掛けるように放出する放出管226cを備える。   Further, in this powder detergent dissolution container 221, a siphon mechanism that sucks out the high concentration detergent solution produced by diluting the ultra high concentration detergent solution, drops it onto the laundry in the washing and dehydrating tub 2 and permeates the laundry. 226 is attached. The siphon mechanism 226 extends through the bottom wall so as to stand in the container and open to the suction start position (height), and extends so as to cover the outer periphery of the suction pipe 226a. And a discharge pipe 226c that discharges the high-concentration detergent liquid sucked out by the suction pipe 226a so as to fall on the laundry in the washing and dehydrating tub 2.

粉末洗剤溶解容器221の形態は、前述した形態の他に、底部の湾曲した底面から前後の一方の壁を全体的に直線的,連続的に拡張するように傾斜させて平行な奥行き領域をもたない形態の下部空間や、湾曲した底面から前後の両壁を全体的に直線的,連続的に拡張するように傾斜させて平行な奥行き領域をもたない形態の下部空間とすることもできる。一方の壁を底面から全体的に直線的,連続的に拡張するように傾斜させた形態の下部空間とした形態では、洗剤撹拌効率の観点から、傾斜する壁面から底面に巻き込む方向に洗剤撹拌部材を回転させる構成とすることが望ましい。   In addition to the above-described form, the powder detergent dissolution container 221 has a parallel depth region by inclining so that one of the front and rear walls extends linearly and continuously from the curved bottom surface of the bottom. It is also possible to form a lower space that does not have a parallel depth region by inclining so that both the front and rear walls extend linearly and continuously from the curved bottom surface. . In the form of a lower space in which one wall is inclined so as to expand linearly and continuously from the bottom, from the viewpoint of detergent agitation efficiency, the detergent agitation member extends from the inclined wall to the bottom. It is desirable to have a configuration in which the is rotated.

粉末洗剤溶解容器221に粉末洗剤溶解水および希釈水を注入する注水口227は、粉末洗剤溶解容器221における上部空間221bの側壁に設け、給水電磁弁群23における補助給水電磁弁231から給水するように接続する。因に、主給水電磁弁232は、注水口21に給水するように接続する。   A water inlet 227 for injecting powder detergent dissolving water and dilution water into the powder detergent dissolving container 221 is provided on the side wall of the upper space 221b in the powder detergent dissolving container 221, so that water is supplied from the auxiliary water supply electromagnetic valve 231 in the water supply electromagnetic valve group 23. Connect to. The main water supply solenoid valve 232 is connected to supply water to the water inlet 21.

The input switch group 151 includes a button switch group for setting various washing courses, and the display element group 152 includes a display lamp group for displaying the set washing course and its progress.

コントロールユニット17は、マイクロコンピュータ171と負荷駆動装置172を備え、電源スイッチ14が投入されるとマイクロコンピュータ171が起動して制御処理プログラムを実行し、前記操作パネル15における入力スイッチ群151からの入力に従って洗濯コースを設定し、補助給水電磁弁231と洗剤溶解駆動電動機224を駆動して高濃度洗剤液の生成と降り掛けを行い、水位センサ16から出力される水位検出信号を参照して主給水電磁弁232を駆動して洗濯水を給水し、洗濯脱水駆動装置7における洗濯脱水駆動電動機71,クラッチ機構72を駆動して撹拌翼4を回転させ、排水電磁弁27を駆動して洗濯水を排水し、更に、洗濯脱水駆動装置7における洗濯脱水駆動電動機71,クラッチ機構72を駆動して洗濯兼脱水槽2と撹拌翼4を回転させて脱水するように負荷駆動装置172を制御して洗濯および脱水運転制御を実行し、その進行状態を表示するように表示素子群152を点灯/消灯制御するように構成する。   The control unit 17 includes a microcomputer 171 and a load driving device 172. When the power switch 14 is turned on, the microcomputer 171 is activated to execute a control processing program, and an input from the input switch group 151 on the operation panel 15 is performed. The washing course is set according to the above, the auxiliary water supply electromagnetic valve 231 and the detergent dissolution drive motor 224 are driven to generate and drop the high-concentration detergent liquid, and the main water supply with reference to the water level detection signal output from the water level sensor 16 The electromagnetic valve 232 is driven to supply the washing water, the washing / dehydrating drive motor 71 and the clutch mechanism 72 in the washing / dehydrating drive device 7 are driven to rotate the stirring blade 4, and the drain electromagnetic valve 27 is driven to supply the washing water. Further, the washing and dewatering drive motor 7 and the clutch mechanism 72 in the washing and dewatering drive device 7 are driven to perform washing. The load driving device 172 is controlled to rotate the cum dewatering tank 2 and the stirring blade 4 to perform dewatering, and washing and dewatering operation control is executed, and the display element group 152 is turned on / off to display the progress state. To be configured.

マイクロコンピュータ171は、洗濯コースが設定されているときには、洗濯物の布量・布質検出,洗濯水量・洗濯水流(撹拌翼4の往復回転時限)の設定,粉末洗剤量の設定,洗い給水(高濃度洗剤液供給),洗い撹拌,洗い排水,濯ぎ脱水,濯ぎ給水,濯ぎ撹拌,濯ぎ排水,最終脱水の洗濯制御処理を実行する。   When the washing course is set, the microcomputer 171 detects the amount of cloth / cloth quality of the laundry, sets the amount of washing water / washing water flow (reciprocating rotation time of the agitating blade 4), sets the amount of powder detergent, High-concentration detergent solution supply), washing and agitation, washing and drainage, rinsing dewatering, rinsing water supply, rinsing and agitation, rinsing drainage, and final dehydration washing control processing.

洗濯物の布量検出は、洗濯脱水駆動電動機71を運転して撹拌翼4を回転駆動し、撹拌翼4に作用する回転負荷(乾布負荷)を検出することにより、洗濯兼脱水槽2内の洗濯物の布量を検出(推定)する制御処理により行う。   The cloth amount of the laundry is detected by operating the washing / dehydrating drive motor 71 to rotationally drive the agitating blade 4 and detecting the rotational load (dry cloth load) acting on the agitating blade 4. This is performed by a control process for detecting (estimating) the amount of laundry cloth.

洗濯水量および粉末洗剤量は、洗濯物の布量に応じて設定し、表示素子群152を点灯することにより投入すべき粉末洗剤量を表示する制御処理を実行する。   The amount of washing water and the amount of powder detergent are set according to the amount of laundry cloth, and a control process for displaying the amount of powder detergent to be input by turning on the display element group 152 is executed.

高濃度洗剤液供給は、補助給水電磁弁231を開いて粉末洗剤溶解容器221に所定量の粉末洗剤溶解水(水道水)を給水し、洗剤溶解駆動電動機224を運転して洗剤撹拌部材223を回転駆動することにより粉末洗剤溶解容器221内の粉末洗剤と粉末洗剤溶解水を撹拌して超高濃度洗剤液を生成し、その後、補助給水電磁弁231を開いて希釈水(水道水)を給水して希釈することにより粉末洗剤溶解容器221内の液面を上昇させ、サイフォン機構226を機能させて高濃度洗剤液を吸い出して洗濯物に降り掛けて浸沈させるように洗濯兼脱水槽2に供給する制御処理を実行することにより行う。   For supplying the high-concentration detergent liquid, the auxiliary water supply electromagnetic valve 231 is opened to supply a predetermined amount of powdered detergent-dissolved water (tap water) to the powdered detergent-dissolving container 221, and the detergent-dissolving drive motor 224 is operated to move the detergent stirring member 223 By rotating and driving, the powder detergent in the powder detergent dissolution container 221 and the powder detergent dissolved water are stirred to produce an ultra-high concentration detergent liquid, and then the auxiliary water supply electromagnetic valve 231 is opened to supply dilution water (tap water). Then, the liquid level in the powder detergent dissolution container 221 is raised by diluting and the siphon mechanism 226 is made to function so that the high-concentration detergent liquid is sucked out and dropped on the laundry to be submerged. This is done by executing the supplied control process.

高濃度洗剤液を洗濯物に浸沈させて洗剤の化学的な洗浄力を有効に活用するときに好ましい洗剤濃度は、洗い水の好ましい洗剤濃度を1とするときに、略5〜30倍であり、好ましくは、略10〜20倍である。このような高濃度洗剤液の浸沈を実現するために、この実施の形態では、粉末洗剤を粉末洗剤溶解水に溶解して略100〜200倍の超高濃度洗剤液を生成し、この頂高濃度洗剤液を希釈水で希釈して略10〜20倍の高濃度洗剤液として洗濯物に降り掛けるように構成している。   The preferred detergent concentration when immersing a high-concentration detergent solution in laundry and effectively utilizing the chemical cleaning power of the detergent is about 5 to 30 times when the preferred detergent concentration of washing water is 1. Yes, preferably about 10 to 20 times. In order to realize the soaking of such a high concentration detergent solution, in this embodiment, the powder detergent is dissolved in the powder detergent dissolving water to produce an ultrahigh concentration detergent solution approximately 100 to 200 times. The high-concentration detergent solution is diluted with diluting water so as to fall on the laundry as a high-concentration detergent solution approximately 10 to 20 times.

好ましい洗剤濃度の洗い水(洗剤濃度1=20グラム/30リットル)を生成する粉末洗剤量は、電気洗濯機の洗濯水の標準(定格)水量を60リットルとすると、標準水量で洗うときの好ましい粉末洗剤量は、40グラムである。   The amount of powder detergent that produces washing water with a preferred detergent concentration (detergent concentration 1 = 20 grams / 30 liters) is preferable when washing with a standard amount of water, assuming that the standard (rated) amount of washing water in an electric washing machine is 60 liters. The amount of powder detergent is 40 grams.

高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置22は、この40グラムの粉末洗剤を粉末洗剤溶解容器221の下部空間221a内で粉末洗剤溶解水で溶解して洗剤濃度が略100〜200倍の超高濃度洗剤液を生成する。補助給水電磁弁231は、最大給水量が3.4リットル/分程度に調整したものを使用する。このように調整した補助給水電磁弁231は、使用する水道の最低保障水圧(0.3kg/cm2)のときの給水量が30ミリリットル/秒となり、最高保障水圧(7.0kg/cm2)のときの給水量が57ミリリットル/秒となる。従って、粉末洗剤溶解容器221に粉末洗剤溶解水を供給するために補助給水電磁弁231を10秒間開放すると、粉末洗剤溶解水量は、300ミリリットル〜570ミリリットルとなる。従って、この粉末洗剤溶解水で粉末洗剤を溶解して生成する超高濃度洗剤液の洗剤濃度は、105〜200倍となる。 The high-concentration detergent liquid production and supply device 22 dissolves 40 grams of powder detergent with powder detergent-dissolved water in the lower space 221a of the powder detergent dissolution container 221, and the detergent concentration is about 100 to 200 times the ultra-high concentration detergent liquid. Is generated. The auxiliary water supply electromagnetic valve 231 uses a water supply whose maximum water supply is adjusted to about 3.4 liters / minute. The auxiliary water supply electromagnetic valve 231 adjusted in this way, the water supply amount when the minimum guaranteed pressure of water to be used (0.3 kg / cm 2) is 30 ml / sec, the highest security water pressure (7.0 kg / cm 2) In this case, the water supply amount becomes 57 ml / sec. Therefore, when the auxiliary water supply electromagnetic valve 231 is opened for 10 seconds in order to supply the powder detergent dissolving container 221 to the powder detergent dissolving water, the amount of powder detergent dissolving water is 300 ml to 570 ml. Therefore, the detergent concentration of the ultra-high-concentration detergent liquid produced by dissolving the powder detergent with this powder detergent-dissolved water is 105 to 200 times.

その後、補助給水電磁弁231を再び開いて粉末洗剤溶解容器221に希釈水を供給することにより該粉末洗剤溶解容器221内の超高濃度洗剤液を希釈して高濃度洗剤液を生成する。洗濯物に降り掛けて浸沈させるのに望ましい高濃度洗剤液の洗剤濃度は、略10〜20倍であるので、略3〜6リットルの希釈水を供給する。この希釈水量は、適度の高濃度洗剤液を洗濯物に均一に浸沈させるのに必要な量であり、洗濯物の布量(粉末洗剤の量)に応じて決定する。略3〜6リットルの希釈水の供給は、補助給水電磁弁231の開弁時間を100秒とすることにより実現する。   Thereafter, the auxiliary water supply electromagnetic valve 231 is opened again to supply dilution water to the powder detergent dissolution container 221, thereby diluting the ultra-high concentration detergent liquid in the powder detergent dissolution container 221 to generate a high concentration detergent liquid. Since the detergent concentration of the high-concentration detergent liquid that is desirable for being dropped on the laundry is approximately 10 to 20 times, approximately 3 to 6 liters of dilution water is supplied. This amount of diluted water is an amount necessary to uniformly immerse an appropriate high-concentration detergent solution in the laundry, and is determined according to the amount of laundry cloth (the amount of powder detergent). The supply of approximately 3 to 6 liters of dilution water is realized by setting the valve opening time of the auxiliary water supply electromagnetic valve 231 to 100 seconds.

粉末洗剤溶解容器221に希釈水を供給することにより該粉末洗剤溶解容器221内の高濃度洗剤液の液面が上昇する。そして、この液面がサイフォン機構226における吸い出し管226aの吸い出し開始位置まで上昇すると、サイフォン機構226が動作して粉末洗剤溶解容器221内の高濃度洗剤液を吸い出して放出管226cから放出する。サイフォン機構226が動作して高濃度洗剤液の吸い出しを開始する吸い出し開始位置まで液面が上昇するときの高濃度洗剤液の量は、希釈が終了する直前の量であるようにすることが望ましい。しかし、このような値にまで粉末洗剤溶解容器221内で希釈するためには該粉末洗剤溶解容器221が大型化することから、洗濯物に降り掛けても支障を来さない濃度にまで希釈される量に達した後であることを前提条件にして、希釈終了以前の量で液面がサイフォン機構226の吸い出し開始位置に到達して吸い出しを開始させ、希釈給水と降り掛けが並行して行われるようにする。この実施の形態では、サイフォン機構226が吸い出しを開始する位置(H)における容量を1リットルとすることにより、小型の粉末洗剤溶解容器221により、好ましい高濃度洗剤液の降り掛けを実現した。   By supplying dilution water to the powder detergent dissolution container 221, the liquid level of the high-concentration detergent liquid in the powder detergent dissolution container 221 rises. When the liquid level rises to the suction start position of the suction pipe 226a in the siphon mechanism 226, the siphon mechanism 226 operates to suck out the high-concentration detergent liquid in the powder detergent dissolution container 221 and discharge it from the discharge pipe 226c. It is desirable that the amount of the high-concentration detergent liquid when the siphon mechanism 226 operates to start the suction of the high-concentration detergent liquid to reach the suction start position is the amount immediately before the end of dilution. . However, in order to dilute the powder detergent dissolution container 221 to such a value, the powder detergent dissolution container 221 is enlarged, so that it is diluted to a concentration that does not interfere with the laundry. Assuming that the liquid level reaches the level before the end of dilution, the liquid level reaches the suction start position of the siphon mechanism 226 and starts sucking, and the dilution water supply and dropping are performed in parallel. To be In this embodiment, by setting the capacity at the position (H) at which the siphon mechanism 226 starts sucking out to 1 liter, the preferred high-concentration detergent solution is dropped by the small powder detergent dissolution container 221.

洗濯物の布質検出は、主給水電磁弁232を開き、水位センサ16の検出信号を参照しながら所定の水位まで給水した後に洗濯脱水駆動電動機71を運転して撹拌翼4を回転駆動することにより該撹拌翼4に作用する回転負荷(湿布負荷)を検出し、この湿布負荷と前記乾布負荷を参照して検出(推定)する制御処理を実行することにより行う。   The cloth quality of the laundry is detected by opening the main water supply electromagnetic valve 232, supplying water to a predetermined water level while referring to the detection signal of the water level sensor 16, and then operating the washing / dehydrating drive motor 71 to drive the stirring blade 4 to rotate. Thus, the rotational load (packet load) acting on the stirring blade 4 is detected, and the control process is performed to detect (estimate) with reference to the pack load and the dry load.

洗濯水流は、検出した布質に応じて設定する。   The washing water flow is set according to the detected cloth quality.

その後、主給水電磁弁232を開き、水位センサ16の検出信号を参照しながら所定の洗い水位まで給水する制御処理を実行して洗い給水を終了する。因に、主給水電磁弁232の給水流量は、18〜20リットル/分に設定する。   Thereafter, the main water supply electromagnetic valve 232 is opened, a control process for supplying water to a predetermined wash water level is executed while referring to the detection signal of the water level sensor 16, and the wash water supply is terminated. Incidentally, the water supply flow rate of the main water supply electromagnetic valve 232 is set to 18 to 20 liters / minute.

洗い撹拌は、洗濯兼脱水槽2を静止させ、設定した洗い水流(撹拌翼4の往復回転時限)となるように洗濯脱水駆動電動機71とクラッチ機構72を制御する処理を実行することにより行う。   Washing and stirring is performed by executing a process of controlling the washing and dehydrating drive motor 71 and the clutch mechanism 72 so that the washing and dewatering tank 2 is stationary and the set washing water flow (reciprocating rotation time limit of the stirring blade 4) is obtained.

洗い排水は、排水電磁弁27を開弁制御することにより行う。   Washing drainage is performed by controlling the drainage electromagnetic valve 27 to open.

脱水は、排水電磁弁27を開いた状態で、洗濯兼脱水槽2と撹拌翼4を一体的に一方向に連続的に回転させることにより遠心脱水するように洗濯脱水駆動電動機71とクラッチ機構72を制御する処理を実行することにより行う。   In the dehydration, the washing / dehydrating drive motor 71 and the clutch mechanism 72 are configured so as to perform centrifugal dehydration by continuously rotating the washing / dehydrating tank 2 and the stirring blade 4 in one direction integrally with the drain electromagnetic valve 27 opened. This is done by executing a process for controlling.

濯ぎ給水は、排水電磁弁27を閉じ、主給水電磁弁232を開き、水位センサ16の検出信号を参照しながら所定の洗濯水位まで給水する制御処理を実行することにより行う。   The rinsing water supply is performed by closing the drainage electromagnetic valve 27, opening the main water supply electromagnetic valve 232, and executing a control process for supplying water to a predetermined washing water level while referring to the detection signal of the water level sensor 16.

濯ぎ撹拌は、洗い撹拌と同様にして行う。   Rinse stirring is performed in the same manner as washing stirring.

濯ぎ排水は、洗い排水と同様にして行う。   Rinsing drainage is performed in the same manner as washing drainage.

図6は、この実施の形態における電気洗濯機が実行する洗濯および脱水工程を示すタイムチャート、図7は、給水(1)においてマイクロコンピュータ171が実行する具体的な制御処理のフローチャートである。   FIG. 6 is a time chart showing a washing and dehydrating process executed by the electric washing machine in this embodiment, and FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a specific control process executed by the microcomputer 171 in the water supply (1).

まず、布量検出を行って洗濯物の布量を検出し、洗濯水量および粉末洗剤量を設定し、表示素子群152により投入すべき粉末洗剤量を表示する。   First, the amount of laundry is detected to detect the amount of laundry, the amount of washing water and the amount of powder detergent are set, and the amount of powder detergent to be input is displayed by the display element group 152.

給水(1)では、図7に示すように、超高濃度洗剤液の生成と、洗濯物の湿潤と、高濃度洗剤液の降り掛けと、高濃度洗剤液の浸沈と、洗い水の給水を行う。   In the water supply (1), as shown in FIG. 7, the production of an ultra-high-concentration detergent liquid, the wetness of the laundry, the dripping of the high-concentration detergent liquid, the sinking of the high-concentration detergent liquid, and the water supply of the washing water I do.

超高濃度洗剤液の生成では、まず、ステップ22001〜22003において、補助給水電磁弁231を略10秒間開放して粉末洗剤溶解容器221に粉末洗剤溶解水を給水する。次に、ステップ22004〜22006において、洗剤撹拌部材223を2000〜3000rpmで回転させるように洗剤溶解駆動電動機224を運転して粉末洗剤と粉末洗剤溶解水を撹拌することにより粉末洗剤を溶解して超高濃度洗剤液を生成する。このときの運転時間は、30〜60秒間とする。   In the generation of the ultra-high concentration detergent solution, first, in steps 22001 to 2003, the auxiliary water supply electromagnetic valve 231 is opened for about 10 seconds to supply the powder detergent dissolving water to the powder detergent dissolving container 221. Next, in steps 22004 to 22006, the detergent detergent driving motor 224 is operated so as to rotate the detergent stirring member 223 at 2000 to 3000 rpm and the powder detergent and the powder detergent dissolving water are stirred to dissolve the powder detergent. A highly concentrated detergent solution is produced. The operation time at this time is 30 to 60 seconds.

洗濯物の湿潤では、ステップ22007〜22011において、主給水電磁弁232を開放し、洗濯兼脱水槽2を5〜15rpmで緩速回転させるように洗濯脱水駆動電動機およびクラッチ機構を制御することにより、洗濯兼脱水槽2(外槽5)内に給水する。この湿潤は、後述する高濃度洗剤液の洗濯物への浸沈を均一に実現するためのものである。このときの給水量は、略1リットル/1kg(洗濯物の量)であり、給水運転時間制御によって実現する。例えば、洗濯物の量が5kgのときには略17秒、8kgのときには略25秒の給水を行う。そして、ステップ22012〜22014において、洗濯兼脱水槽2と撹拌翼4を高速回転させて脱水する。このときの洗濯兼脱水槽2と撹拌翼4の回転速度は、800〜900rpmとし、脱水率が略50%となるように、略3分間の脱水運転を行う。   In the wetness of the laundry, in steps 22007 to 22011, the main water supply electromagnetic valve 232 is opened, and the laundry dewatering drive motor and the clutch mechanism are controlled so as to rotate the washing and dewatering tub 2 slowly at 5 to 15 rpm, Water is supplied into the washing and dewatering tub 2 (outer tub 5). This wetting is to achieve uniform soaking of the high-concentration detergent liquid described later in the laundry. The amount of water supply at this time is approximately 1 liter / 1 kg (amount of laundry), and is realized by water supply operation time control. For example, when the amount of laundry is 5 kg, water is supplied for approximately 17 seconds, and when it is 8 kg, water is supplied for approximately 25 seconds. In steps 22012 to 22014, the washing and dewatering tank 2 and the stirring blade 4 are rotated at high speed to dehydrate. At this time, the rotation speed of the washing / dehydrating tub 2 and the stirring blade 4 is set to 800 to 900 rpm, and the dehydration operation is performed for approximately 3 minutes so that the dehydration rate is approximately 50%.

高濃度洗剤液の降り掛けでは、ステップ22015〜22019において、補助給水電磁弁231を開いて粉末洗剤溶解容器221に対して希釈水の供給を開始し、洗剤撹拌部材223を500〜1000rpmで回転させるように洗剤溶解駆動電動機224を運転して超高濃度洗剤液を希釈して洗濯物に降り掛けるのに好ましい洗剤濃度の高濃度洗剤液を生成する。希釈給水量は、時間制御によって制御する。粉末洗剤溶解容器221内の液面がサイフォン機構226の吸い出し開始位置に到達すると、サイフォン機構226は、粉末洗剤溶解容器221内の高濃度洗剤液を吸い出して洗濯物に降り掛ける。希釈給水量が所定の値に到達すると洗剤溶解駆動電動機224を停止し、補助給水電磁弁231を閉じる。サイフォン機構226による高濃度洗剤液の吸い出し、降り掛けは、粉末洗剤溶解容器221内の高濃度洗剤液が実質的になくなるまで継続する。   When the high-concentration detergent liquid is dropped, in steps 22015 to 2219, the auxiliary water supply electromagnetic valve 231 is opened to start supplying dilution water to the powder detergent dissolution container 221, and the detergent stirring member 223 is rotated at 500 to 1000 rpm. As described above, the detergent dissolution driving electric motor 224 is operated to dilute the ultra-high-concentration detergent liquid and produce a high-concentration detergent liquid having a preferable detergent concentration for falling on the laundry. The diluted water supply amount is controlled by time control. When the liquid level in the powder detergent dissolution container 221 reaches the suction start position of the siphon mechanism 226, the siphon mechanism 226 sucks out the high-concentration detergent liquid in the powder detergent dissolution container 221 and drops it onto the laundry. When the diluted water supply amount reaches a predetermined value, the detergent dissolution drive motor 224 is stopped and the auxiliary water supply electromagnetic valve 231 is closed. The siphon mechanism 226 sucks and drops the high-concentration detergent liquid until the high-concentration detergent liquid in the powder detergent dissolution container 221 is substantially exhausted.

高濃度洗剤液の浸沈では、ステップ22020,22021において、高濃度洗剤液を降り掛けた洗濯物を略2〜5分間に亘って放置する。この放置は、高濃度洗剤液を洗濯物内に均等に浸沈させて汚れに化学的洗浄力を有効に作用させるためのものである。   In the soaking of the high-concentration detergent solution, in steps 22020 and 22021, the laundry on which the high-concentration detergent solution is applied is left for about 2 to 5 minutes. This leaving is for immersing the high-concentration detergent solution evenly in the laundry so that the chemical cleaning force is effectively applied to the dirt.

洗い水の給水では、ステップ22022,22023において、主給水電磁弁232を開放し、洗濯物の布量に応じた所定の洗い水量となるように給水する。この給水制御は、水位センサ16から出力する水位信号を監視して所定の水位となるまで主給水電磁弁232を開弁することにより行う。この給水のときにも補助給水電磁弁231を開弁して粉末洗剤溶解容器221に洗浄水として給水し、更に、洗剤撹拌部材223を回転させて容器内を洗浄し、この洗浄水をサイフォン機構226を通して洗い水として給水するようにすると良い。   In the water supply of the washing water, in steps 22022 and 22023, the main water supply electromagnetic valve 232 is opened, and the water is supplied so as to have a predetermined washing water amount corresponding to the amount of laundry. This water supply control is performed by monitoring the water level signal output from the water level sensor 16 and opening the main water supply electromagnetic valve 232 until the water level reaches a predetermined level. Also during this water supply, the auxiliary water supply electromagnetic valve 231 is opened to supply water to the powder detergent dissolution container 221 as cleaning water, and the detergent agitating member 223 is rotated to clean the inside of the container. It is recommended to supply water as washing water through H.226.

次に、洗い撹拌では、洗濯兼脱水槽2を静止状態にして洗濯物の布質に応じた所定の時限で撹拌翼4を往復回転させるように洗濯脱水駆動電動機71とクラッチ機構72を制御する洗い運転を実行する。この洗い運転時間は、洗濯物の布量に応じて制御する。   Next, in the washing and agitation, the washing and dewatering drive motor 71 and the clutch mechanism 72 are controlled so that the washing and dewatering tub 2 is in a stationary state and the agitation blade 4 is reciprocally rotated at a predetermined time according to the quality of the laundry. Perform wash operation. This washing operation time is controlled according to the amount of laundry.

排水(1)は、排水電磁弁27を開放することにより行う。   Drainage (1) is performed by opening the drainage electromagnetic valve 27.

脱水(1)は、洗濯兼脱水槽2と撹拌翼4を位置方向に高速で回転させて洗濯物に含まれる洗い水を遠心脱水するように洗濯脱水駆動電動機71とクラッチ機構72を制御することにより行う。この脱水運転は、水位センサ16から出力する水位信号を監視して洗い水量が所定の水位以下に低下したときに開始し、所定時間経過したときに終了する。   In the dehydration (1), the washing / dehydrating drive motor 71 and the clutch mechanism 72 are controlled so that the washing / dehydrating tub 2 and the stirring blade 4 are rotated in the position direction at a high speed to centrifugally dehydrate the washing water contained in the laundry. To do. This dehydration operation starts when the water level signal output from the water level sensor 16 is monitored and the washing water amount falls below a predetermined water level, and ends when a predetermined time has elapsed.

給水(2)は、排水電磁弁27を閉じ、主給水電磁弁232を開弁することにより行う。この給水制御は、水位センサ16から出力する水位信号を監視し、所定の濯ぎ水量(水位)まで給水するように行う。   Water supply (2) is performed by closing the drain electromagnetic valve 27 and opening the main water supply electromagnetic valve 232. This water supply control is performed by monitoring the water level signal output from the water level sensor 16 and supplying water up to a predetermined amount of rinsing water (water level).

濯ぎ撹拌(1)は、洗い撹拌と同様に行う。   Rinse stirring (1) is performed in the same manner as washing stirring.

排水(2)は、排水(1)と同様に行う。   Drainage (2) is performed in the same manner as drainage (1).

脱水(2)は、脱水(1)と同様に行う。   Dehydration (2) is performed in the same manner as dehydration (1).

給水(3)は、給水(2)と同様に行う。   Water supply (3) is performed in the same manner as water supply (2).

濯ぎ撹拌(2)は、濯ぎ撹拌(1)と同様に行う。   The rinsing stirring (2) is performed in the same manner as the rinsing stirring (1).

排水(3)は、排水(1),(2)と同様に行う。   Drainage (3) is performed in the same manner as drainage (1) and (2).

最終脱水は、脱水(1),(2)と同様に行う。但し、脱水運転時間は、脱水率を高めるために略5分間とする。   Final dehydration is performed in the same manner as dehydration (1) and (2). However, the dehydration operation time is approximately 5 minutes in order to increase the dehydration rate.

このような実施の形態によれば、高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置22は、粉末洗剤溶解容器221の幅広で奥行きが狭くて深い下部空間221aの底部に横置きに配置した棒状の洗剤撹拌部材223を高速回転させることにより該下部空間221a内で粉末洗剤を粉末洗剤溶解水に溶解するので、溢れ出たり拡散させることなしに効率良く超高濃度洗剤液を生成することができる。そして、その後、上部空間221bまで希釈水を供給して超高濃度洗剤液を希釈しながら洗濯物に降り掛けるようにしているので、適度の洗剤濃度の高濃度洗剤液を洗濯物に降り掛けて浸沈させることができる。   According to such an embodiment, the high-concentration detergent liquid production and supply device 22 is a bar-shaped detergent stirring member 223 that is disposed horizontally at the bottom of the deep lower space 221a with the wide and narrow depth of the powder detergent dissolution container 221. Since the powder detergent is dissolved in the powder detergent dissolving water in the lower space 221a by rotating at a high speed, an ultra-high concentration detergent solution can be efficiently generated without overflowing or diffusing. Then, since the dilution water is supplied to the upper space 221b so that the ultra-high-concentration detergent solution is diluted and dropped on the laundry, the high-concentration detergent solution with an appropriate detergent concentration is dropped on the laundry. Can be submerged.

次に、高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置22の変形例について説明する。   Next, a modified example of the high concentration detergent liquid production and supply device 22 will be described.

図8および図9は、粉末洗剤溶解容器221の底部の側面外側に洗剤溶解駆動電動機224を取り付け、洗剤撹拌部材223の回転軸223aを直に駆動する構成の変形例を示すものであり、図8は、外観斜視図、図9は、粉末洗剤溶解容器221に対する洗剤溶解駆動電動機224の取り付け構造を示す縦断正面図である。   FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 show a modified example of the configuration in which the detergent dissolution driving electric motor 224 is attached to the outer side surface of the bottom of the powder detergent dissolution container 221 and the rotation shaft 223a of the detergent stirring member 223 is directly driven. 8 is an external perspective view, and FIG. 9 is a longitudinal sectional front view showing a mounting structure of the detergent dissolution driving motor 224 with respect to the powder detergent dissolution container 221.

粉末洗剤溶解容器221の底部側壁には、洗剤撹拌部材223を外側から挿入することができる大きさ(φD)の開口221cを形成する。洗剤溶解駆動電動機224は、開口端に鍔部224aを設けたカップ状の水封ケース224bの外周に固定子巻線224cを巻装した固定子鉄心224dを嵌着し、この水封ケース224bの底壁の内側の中心に突設した環状の軸受ハウジング部224e内に樹脂製の面軸受224fを収容し、水封ケース224bの開口部の内側に自動調心機能をもつように設置する軸受板224gに形成した軸受ハウジング部224h内に樹脂製の面軸受224iを収容して洗剤撹拌部材223の回転軸223aの外端部を回転自在に支持し、前記面軸受224f,224iの間に位置して前記固定子鉄心224dの内側に対向するように回転子224jを回転軸223aに嵌着する。この回転子224jは、外周に磁極形成用のフェライトマグネット224kと磁路形成用のヨーク224mを備え、中心部は両端面を軸方向に凹ませてステンレス製のスラストワッシャー224nを設ける。水封ケース224bの鍔部224aは、水封リング224pを介在させて粉末洗剤溶解容器221の底部側壁の外面に当接し、止めねじ224qにより粉末洗剤溶解容器221の側壁にねじ止めして固定したキャンドモータ構造とする。外カバー224rは、前記固定子巻線224c,固定子鉄心224dおよび水封ケース224bの外周を覆って保護するように前記止めねじ224qによって共締めして取り付ける。   An opening 221c having a size (φD) into which the detergent stirring member 223 can be inserted from the outside is formed in the bottom side wall of the powder detergent dissolution container 221. The detergent dissolution driving motor 224 has a stator core 224d around which a stator winding 224c is wound fitted on the outer periphery of a cup-shaped water-sealed case 224b provided with a flange 224a at the open end, and the water-sealed case 224b A bearing plate in which a resin-made surface bearing 224f is accommodated in an annular bearing housing portion 224e projecting from the center of the bottom wall and installed so as to have a self-aligning function inside the opening of the water seal case 224b. A resin-made surface bearing 224i is accommodated in a bearing housing portion 224h formed on 224g to rotatably support the outer end portion of the rotating shaft 223a of the detergent stirring member 223, and is positioned between the surface bearings 224f and 224i. Then, the rotor 224j is fitted to the rotating shaft 223a so as to face the inner side of the stator core 224d. The rotor 224j is provided with a ferrite magnet 224k for forming a magnetic pole and a yoke 224m for forming a magnetic path on the outer periphery, and a thrust washer 224n made of stainless steel is provided with both end surfaces recessed in the axial direction at the center. The flange 224a of the water sealing case 224b is in contact with the outer surface of the bottom side wall of the powder detergent dissolving container 221 with the water sealing ring 224p interposed therebetween, and is fixed to the side wall of the powder detergent dissolving container 221 with a set screw 224q. A canned motor structure is adopted. The outer cover 224r is attached by being fastened together with the set screw 224q so as to cover and protect the outer periphery of the stator winding 224c, the stator core 224d, and the water seal case 224b.

このように洗剤溶解駆動電動機224を粉末洗剤溶解容器221の底部に取り付けた構成の高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置22は、前述した実施の形態と同様な効果が得られると共に、洗剤撹拌部材223と洗剤溶解駆動電動機224を組み合わせて一体化した後に洗剤撹拌部材223を粉末洗剤溶解容器221の開口221cから該粉末洗剤溶解容器221内に差し込んで回転軸223aの先端を該粉末洗剤溶解容器221の反対側に設けた軸受(図示省略)に嵌め込むようにして取り付けることができるので、組立て作業が容易となる。   In this way, the high-concentration detergent liquid production and supply device 22 having the configuration in which the detergent dissolution driving electric motor 224 is attached to the bottom of the powder detergent dissolution container 221 can obtain the same effects as the above-described embodiment, and the detergent stirring member 223 and After the detergent dissolution drive motor 224 is combined and integrated, the detergent stirring member 223 is inserted into the powder detergent dissolution container 221 through the opening 221c of the powder detergent dissolution container 221, and the tip of the rotary shaft 223a is opposite to the powder detergent dissolution container 221. Since it can be attached so as to be fitted into a bearing (not shown) provided on the side, assembly work is facilitated.

図10は、図8および図9に示した変形例における洗剤撹拌部材223を着脱自在にする構成に変形した高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置22の当該部分の縦断正面図である。   FIG. 10 is a longitudinal front view of the portion of the high-concentration detergent liquid production and supply device 22 that has been modified so that the detergent stirring member 223 in the modified example shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 is detachable.

この変形例は、洗剤溶解駆動電動機224と洗剤撹拌部材223の回転軸を別部材として洗剤撹拌部材223を着脱自在に結合した構成である。洗剤溶解駆動電動機224は、独自の回転軸224sに回転子224jを嵌着して構成する。回転軸224sの内端部は、粉末洗剤溶解容器221内に突出させ、その先端部は、結合角軸部224tとする。   In this modification, the detergent stirring member 223 is detachably coupled with the rotating shafts of the detergent dissolution driving electric motor 224 and the detergent stirring member 223 as separate members. The detergent dissolution drive motor 224 is configured by fitting a rotor 224j to a unique rotation shaft 224s. The inner end portion of the rotating shaft 224s protrudes into the powder detergent dissolution container 221, and the tip portion thereof is a coupling angular shaft portion 224t.

粉末洗剤溶解容器221内で前記洗剤溶解駆動電動機224の回転軸224sに結合して回転する洗剤撹拌部材223は、回転軸223aの前記回転軸224sと結合させる側の端面に結合角穴223dを形成し、この結合角穴223dの奥には突っ張りコイルばね223eを設置する。このように構成した洗剤撹拌部材223は、回転軸223aの結合角穴223dに回転軸224の結合角軸部224tを嵌入させて突っ張りコイルばね223eを圧縮し、他端を粉末洗剤溶解容器221の内壁面に形成した軸受部221dに嵌入することにより、粉末洗剤溶解容器221内に横置きに設置する。   The detergent stirring member 223 that is coupled to the rotating shaft 224s of the detergent driving motor 224 and rotates in the powder detergent dissolving container 221 forms a coupling square hole 223d on the end surface of the rotating shaft 223a on the side to be coupled with the rotating shaft 224s. A tension coil spring 223e is installed in the back of the coupling square hole 223d. The detergent stirring member 223 configured in this manner compresses the tension coil spring 223e by fitting the coupling angular shaft portion 224t of the rotational shaft 224 into the coupling angular hole 223d of the rotational shaft 223a, and compresses the other end of the powder detergent dissolution container 221. By being fitted into a bearing portion 221d formed on the inner wall surface, it is placed horizontally in the powder detergent dissolution container 221.

このように構成した高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置22は、前述した実施の形態と同様な効果が得られると共に洗剤撹拌部材223を容易に着脱して清掃することができる効果が得られる。   The high-concentration detergent liquid production and supply device 22 configured as described above can obtain the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment and the effect that the detergent stirring member 223 can be easily detached and cleaned.

図11は、洗剤撹拌部材223の変形例を示す正面図である。(a)は、回転軸223aの外周面に沿って、軸方向に分散させ、回転方向に90度の間隔でずらして複数の撹拌羽根223bを突設した洗剤撹拌部材223、(b)は、回転軸223aの外周面に沿って、軸方向に分散させ、回転方向に60度の間隔でずらして複数の撹拌羽根223bを突設した洗剤撹拌部材223、(c)は、回転軸223aの外周面に沿って、軸方向に分散させ、回転方向に90度の間隔でずらして複数の撹拌ブラシ223fを突設した洗剤撹拌部材223、(d)は、回転軸223aの外周面に沿って軸方向に伸びる螺旋形状の撹拌羽根223gを突設した洗剤撹拌部材223である。   FIG. 11 is a front view showing a modified example of the detergent stirring member 223. (A) is a detergent stirring member 223 that is dispersed in the axial direction along the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 223a, and has a plurality of stirring blades 223b projecting at intervals of 90 degrees in the rotating direction. The detergent stirring member 223, which is dispersed in the axial direction along the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 223a and is provided with a plurality of stirring blades 223b protruding at an interval of 60 degrees in the rotating direction, (c) is an outer periphery of the rotating shaft 223a. The detergent stirring member 223, (d) having a plurality of stirring brushes 223f that are dispersed in the axial direction along the surface and shifted at intervals of 90 degrees in the rotation direction, is arranged along the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 223a. This is a detergent stirring member 223 provided with a spiral stirring blade 223 g extending in the direction.

次に、このような高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置22において洗剤撹拌部材223を回転(往復転角)駆動するのに好適な洗剤溶解駆動電動機224について説明する。   Next, a detergent dissolution driving motor 224 suitable for driving the detergent stirring member 223 to rotate (reciprocating angle) in the high concentration detergent liquid production and supply device 22 will be described.

図12は、洗剤溶解駆動電動機224の縦断側面図(a)と固定子巻線224cの結線図(b)である。この洗剤溶解駆動電動機224の固定子鉄心224dは、3極構造であって、固定子巻線224cは、3相星型結線構成である。そして、回転子224jは、図13に示すように、磁極として耐水性や耐洗剤性に優れたフェライト系マグネット224kを使用し、高磁束密度を必要とする場合には希土類マグネット224kを樹脂成形して水封した2極〜8極構造とする。   FIG. 12 is a longitudinal sectional side view (a) of the detergent dissolution drive motor 224 and a connection diagram (b) of the stator winding 224c. The stator core 224d of the detergent dissolution driving motor 224 has a three-pole structure, and the stator winding 224c has a three-phase star connection configuration. As shown in FIG. 13, the rotor 224j uses a ferrite magnet 224k having excellent water resistance and detergent resistance as a magnetic pole, and when a high magnetic flux density is required, the rare earth magnet 224k is resin-molded. A 2-pole to 8-pole structure sealed with water.

図14は、このような洗剤溶解駆動電動機224の回転子224jを連続的に回転させて洗剤撹拌部材223を駆動するための制御系の回路図である。   FIG. 14 is a circuit diagram of a control system for driving the detergent stirring member 223 by continuously rotating the rotor 224j of the detergent dissolution driving electric motor 224 as described above.

固定子巻線224cには、洗剤溶解駆動電動機224に内蔵した3相インバータ224uを介して給電するように接続し、この3相インバータ224uは、コントロールユニット17における負荷駆動装置172内のインバータドライバ172aによって制御して同期電動機として運転するように構成する。   The stator winding 224c is connected to be fed through a three-phase inverter 224u built in the detergent dissolution driving motor 224. The three-phase inverter 224u is connected to an inverter driver 172a in the load driving device 172 in the control unit 17. It controls so that it may operate as a synchronous motor.

このような洗剤溶解駆動電動機224を同期電動機として運転するためには、始動時には、固定子巻線224cによって生成する回転磁界が次第に回転速度を増して回転子224jを加速するように3相インバータ224uを制御し、所定の回転速度で安定させる。   In order to operate such a detergent dissolution drive motor 224 as a synchronous motor, at the time of start-up, the three-phase inverter 224u so that the rotating magnetic field generated by the stator winding 224c gradually increases the rotation speed and accelerates the rotor 224j. To stabilize at a predetermined rotational speed.

この洗剤溶解駆動電動機224は、回転子224jの回転位置を検出する回転位置センサを設け、3相インバータ224uによって直流ブラシレス電動機として運転するように変形することもできる。   The detergent dissolution drive motor 224 may be modified to include a rotational position sensor that detects the rotational position of the rotor 224j and to operate as a DC brushless motor by the three-phase inverter 224u.

洗濯脱水駆動電動機71として直流ブラシレス電動機を使用する構成では、負荷駆動装置172内に洗濯脱水駆動電動機71用のインバータドライバを内蔵しているので、これを洗剤溶解駆動電動機224用の3相インバータ224uの制御に兼用することができる。   In a configuration in which a DC brushless motor is used as the washing / dehydrating drive motor 71, an inverter driver for the washing / dehydrating drive motor 71 is built in the load driving device 172, and this is used as a three-phase inverter 224u for the detergent dissolution driving motor 224. It can also be used for the control.

図15は、このような洗剤溶解駆動電動機224の回転子224jを所定の角度で往復回転(揺動)させて洗剤撹拌部材223を駆動する変形例の制御系の回路図である。   FIG. 15 is a circuit diagram of a control system of a modified example in which the detergent stirring member 223 is driven by reciprocating (swinging) the rotor 224j of the detergent dissolution driving electric motor 224 at a predetermined angle.

固定子巻線224cは、U相を共用してU−V相とU−W相に組み分けし、洗剤溶解駆動電動機224に内蔵した2つのスイッチング素子224v,224wを介して給電するように接続し、このスイッチング素子224v,224wは、コントロールユニット17における負荷駆動装置172内のドライバ172cによって交互に導通させるように制御して回転子224jを所定の角度で往復回転させる揺動電動機として運転するように構成する。   The stator winding 224c shares the U phase and is divided into the U-V phase and the U-W phase, and is connected so that power is supplied via the two switching elements 224v and 224w built in the detergent dissolution driving motor 224. The switching elements 224v and 224w are controlled so as to be alternately turned on by the driver 172c in the load driving device 172 in the control unit 17 so as to operate as a swing motor that reciprocally rotates the rotor 224j at a predetermined angle. Configure.

この所定の角度は、回転子224jの磁極数によって決まる。2極構造では60度、4極構造では30度、6極構造では20度、8極構造では15度となる。   This predetermined angle is determined by the number of magnetic poles of the rotor 224j. It is 60 degrees for the 2-pole structure, 30 degrees for the 4-pole structure, 20 degrees for the 6-pole structure, and 15 degrees for the 8-pole structure.

この洗剤溶解駆動電動機224は、何れの構成を採用しても、粉末洗剤を撹拌して超高濃度洗剤液を生成するときには洗剤撹拌部材223を2000〜3000rpmに相当する角速度で回転(揺動)させ、超高濃度洗剤液を希釈して高濃度洗剤液を生成するときには洗剤撹拌部材223を500〜1000rpmに相当する角速度で回転(揺動)させるように回転(揺動)することが望ましい。   Regardless of the configuration, this detergent dissolution drive motor 224 rotates (oscillates) the detergent stirring member 223 at an angular speed corresponding to 2000 to 3000 rpm when stirring the powder detergent to produce an ultra-high concentration detergent liquid. When the ultra-high-concentration detergent solution is diluted to produce a high-concentration detergent solution, it is desirable that the detergent stirring member 223 is rotated (oscillated) so as to rotate (oscillate) at an angular speed corresponding to 500 to 1000 rpm.

図16は、上面開閉型(トップオープンタイプ)のドラム式電気洗濯機の外観斜視図である。   FIG. 16 is an external perspective view of a drum type electric washing machine of a top open / close type (top open type).

この上面開閉型のドラム式電気洗濯機は、洗濯兼脱水槽(図示省略)を収容した外槽41を回転軸心を左右方向に向けた横置き姿勢で外枠42内に設置する形態であり、上パネル43の上面の中央部に外側衣類投入口43aを設け、この外側衣類投入口43aを外蓋44によって開閉自在に覆い、更に、外槽41との干渉を避けるように、上パネル43の上面の外側衣類投入口43aの左側の側縁領域に操作パネル45を設置する構成である。このドラム式電気洗濯機の具体的な構成は、従来から知られた構成であるので、更なる詳細な説明は省略する。   The drum electric washing machine of the top open / close type has a configuration in which an outer tub 41 containing a washing / dehydrating tub (not shown) is installed in the outer frame 42 in a horizontal position with the rotation axis oriented in the left-right direction. An outer garment insertion port 43a is provided at the center of the upper surface of the upper panel 43, and the outer garment insertion port 43a is covered with an outer lid 44 so as to be freely opened and closed. The operation panel 45 is installed in the side edge region on the left side of the outer garment insertion port 43a on the upper surface. Since the specific configuration of the drum type electric washing machine is a conventionally known configuration, further detailed description is omitted.

このようなドラム式電気洗濯機では、高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置22は、上パネル43の上面における外側衣類投入口43aの右側の側縁領域に開口するように粉末洗剤溶解容器221と前記開口を開閉する洗剤投入蓋222を設ける。この高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置22の具体的な構成と機能(動作)は、実施例1における高濃度洗剤液生成供給装置22と同様にして構成するので、重複する説明を省略する。   In such a drum type electric washing machine, the high-concentration detergent liquid production and supply device 22 has the powder detergent dissolving container 221 and the opening so as to open in the side region on the right side of the outer clothing input port 43a on the upper surface of the upper panel 43.
