Description

  The present invention relates to a fully automatic washing machine equipped with a function capable of selecting a pickling method and setting a time.

  It is a well-known fact that when washing laundry that is difficult to remove dirt, it is more effective to wash the laundry after leaving it in the washing water containing the detergent. This method is generally referred to as pickling, but conventional washing machines have no function of selecting pickling and setting the leaving time.

  Even if there was, it did not reach the water saving effect of the total amount of washing water.

  Microcomputers are built into fully automatic washing machines, and the amount of washing water is often automatically controlled. In such a fully automatic washing machine. When washing with the method of pickling after leaving, the washing water containing the detergent and the weight of the laundry are controlled as the total weight of the laundry when the washing is restarted. There was a problem from the viewpoint.

  In order to solve this problem, the present invention is a fully automatic washing machine equipped with a function of selecting a pickling time and continuing as it is when restarting after being left.

  In the fully automatic washing machine of the present invention, the optimum amount of washing water is calculated from the weight of the laundry, and washing is started. After preliminary washing for a certain period of time, it is checked whether pickle washing is selected. If it is not selected, the process is continued and washing is performed by a conventional method.

When pickling is selected, the laundry is left standing for a certain period of time in the state of being pickled, and then washing is started again without changing the washing water, and rinsing and dehydration are performed. For this reason, the fully automatic washing machine can be controlled without consuming excess washing water.
If this method is used, in addition to the degree of dirt removal due to the fact that the washing water can be used as it is, the effect of reducing the consumption of water required for washing and rinsing by the weight of the laundry alone is great.

In this case, if a timer that can set the setting range of the “pickling time selection function” from 0 hours to several tens of hours is incorporated, it can be used for the following two purposes depending on the set value of the set time.
If the set time is set to other than 0 hours, it is used for washing in which the leaving time in pickling is set, and if it is set to 0 hours, it is used for washing without pickling.

It is a perspective view showing one embodiment of this invention. It is a perspective view which shows a prior art. This is an example of the process for pickling. This is an example of the process when not pickled.
