In the present embodiment, the first water supply valve 28a and the second water supply valve 28b are two integrated water supply valves. Further, if there is no water heater, the connection to the third water supply valve 28c may not be performed.

  FIG. 8 is a reverse perspective view of the rectifying unit of the washing machine in the present embodiment. The first water injection part 31a and the third water injection part 31c extend to the bottom part inside the water injection case 31, and have openings 32 so as to face each other near the bottom part. And the rectification | straightening part 42 is arrange | positioned in the back | inner side of the bottom part of the water injection case 31, and between the opening 32 which faces this. As shown in FIG. 8, the rectifying unit 42 has inlet portions 42 a communicating with the openings 32 at the left and right ends, and outlet portions 42 c at the substantial center on both sides with a partition portion 42 b formed at the center. Have Moreover, the rectification | straightening part 42 has several rib 42d so that water may meander and flow inside the entrance part 42a and the exit part 42c. As shown in FIG. 7, when the rectifying unit 42 is combined with the water injection case 31, each of the first water injection unit 31 a and the third water injection unit 31 c is turned 90 degrees to the center of the water injection case 31. Two flow paths are formed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the second water injection section 31 b is provided directly above the rear wall 29 h of the storage case 29 in a state where the storage case 29 is stored in the water injection case 31. In the present embodiment, almost half of the hole area of the second water injection part 31 b overlaps the housing case 29. Furthermore, although the rear wall 29h is close to the rectifying unit 42, the rectifying unit 42 has a wall surface shape along the inclination of the rear wall 29h, and forms a gap S3 having a predetermined dimension with the rear wall 29h.

  In the water injection device 39 configured as described above, a flow path through which water flows will be described.

  First, as shown by an arrow A in FIGS. 7 and 8, water flowing from the first water supply valve 28a disposed on the right side of the water injection case 31 as viewed from the front passes through the first water injection section 31a. Then, the air flows from the opening 32a at the right bottom portion to the right inlet portion 42a of the rectifying portion 42, passes through the right flow path of the rectifying portion 42, and reaches the right outlet portion 42c.

  Further, as indicated by an arrow C, water (warm water) flowing in from the third water supply valve 28c disposed on the left side of the water injection case 31 when viewed from the front passes through the third water injection part 31c, and is on the left side. From the bottom opening 32b, the air flows into the inlet 42a on the left side of the rectifier 42, passes through the flow path on the left side of the rectifier 42, and reaches the outlet 42c on the left.

  In this way, the water that has reached the outlet 42c of the rectifying unit 42 meanders by the rib 42d formed inside the rectifying unit 42, the water supply pressure is reduced, and the momentum of the water flow is suppressed. As a result, it flows out to the substantial center of the water flow surface 35 of the water injection case 31, smoothly flows through the water flow surface 35 and is supplied to the washing tub 15 from the front end 35 a, and does not scatter water outside the washing tub 15. .

Next, as shown by the arrow B in FIGS. 2 and 7, the water that has flowed in from the second water supply valve 28b adjacent to the first water supply valve 28a passes through the second water injection portion 31b. Then, the rear wall 29h of the housing case 29 is located immediately below, and the rear wall 29h is divided into two directions of water flow indicated by arrows B1 and B2. Of these, the water flow indicated by arrow B1 is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, the liquid flows to the outside of the housing case 29 and spreads left and right. However, the flow is adjusted to a smooth flow by the gap S <b> 3, flows out to the water flow surface 35 of the water injection case 31, and is supplied to the washing tub 15 from the front end 35 a of the water flow surface 35.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 2, 5, and 6, the water flow indicated by another arrow B2 flows into the accommodating portion 29b of the accommodating case 29 along the inclination of the rear wall 29h. The water flow passes through the siphon flow path 44 and flows out from the storage case 29 to the flowing water surface 35 while mixing the washing aid that is swirled in the storage portion 29b and mixed before the start of operation. At this time, when the water injection into the storage case 29 is stopped, the water remaining in the storage case 29 is sucked by the siphon effect of the siphon channel 44 and almost all flows out. As a result, almost all of the supplied laundry aid flows out. And the water which flowed out from the storage case 29 to the flowing water surface 35 merges with the water flow outside the storage case 29 indicated by the arrow B 1, and is supplied to the washing tub 15 from the front end of the flowing water surface 35.

  Thus, only the water flow from the second water injection portion 31b indicated by the arrow B2 is injected into the housing case 29. And the 2nd water injection part 31b is provided so that only a part of supplied water may be poured into the storage case 29. FIG. Accordingly, the amount of water poured into the storage portion 29b is limited, the momentum of the water flow is suppressed, and the washing aid can be prevented from overflowing from the storage case 29. Further, the second water injection portion 31b is provided so as to inject water into the rear wall 29h of the storage case 29 from above, and the storage case 29 inclines the rear wall 29h that receives water injection from the second water injection portion 31b. Is formed. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the injected water from stirring the washing aid as a smooth water flow due to the inclination of the rear wall 29 h of the storage case 29 and remaining in the storage case 29.

  In addition, when the laundry aid is put into the storage case 29 in an amount larger than the allowable amount, or when the water pressure in the water supply is strong and the amount of water poured into the storage portion 29b is larger than expected, the input portion 43a. The water level may rise and overflow from the cover 43. The overflowing water flows into the groove 29f, is guided to the through holes 29g provided on the left and right by the groove 29f, and falls to the flowing water surface 35. As a result, the overflowing water does not reach the outside of the storage case 29 and is contaminated with the laundry aid. Further, in the present embodiment, since the through holes 29g are provided in the left and right grooves 29f, the overflowing water falls to the water surface 35 at the back. The overflowing water falls irregularly, but with this configuration, the original water flow of the water flow from the rear side of the rear wall 29h and the water flow from the siphon channel 44 is joined and smoothly supplied with one water flow, Irregular fall does not cause water to scatter.

  About the washing machine comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated.

  The user opens the lid 26 and puts the laundry to be washed into the washing tub 15. Then, the storage case 29 of the water injection device 39 is pulled out from the water injection case 31 and a predetermined amount of washing aid is input to the input portion 43 a, and then the storage case 29 is stored in the water injection case 31. A predetermined amount of detergent is put into a predetermined position. The user starts the washing operation by the start switch provided on the operation display unit 37.

Thereby, the control apparatus 36 starts a washing process. First, when the 1st water supply valve 28a or warm water is used, the 3rd water supply valve 28c is opened, and water flows into the water injection case 31 from the 1st water injection part 31a or the 3rd water injection part 31c. The water that has flowed into the water injection case 31 is reduced in water supply pressure by the rectifier 42 and rectified and flows out to the water surface 35. At this time, since the water supply pressure is reduced, there is no scattering of water to the outside of the washing tub 15 due to the water supply pressure, and the appearance of the water flow is good. When the control device 36 reaches a predetermined water level, the control device 36 closes the first water supply valve 28a or the third water supply valve 28c to stop water supply, and drives the motor 20 to drive the pulsator 18.
Rotate the to perform the washing process.

  When the washing process is completed, the control device 36 drains the dirty washing water, performs intermediate dehydration, and starts the rinsing process. In the rinsing step, the second water supply valve 28b is opened, and approximately half of the flow rate of the water that passes through the second water injection part 31b flows into the housing case 29 in which the washing aid is introduced. Then, the water that has flowed into the water injection case 31 and the water that has flowed into the housing case 29 merge at the flowing water surface 35 and are supplied to the washing tub 15 as described above. When the control device 36 reaches a predetermined water level, the second water supply valve 28b is closed to stop water supply, and the motor 20 is driven to rotate the pulsator 18 to perform a rinsing process.

  When finishing the rinsing process, the control device 36 drains the rinsing water and starts the dehydration process. And if predetermined time passes, a spin-drying | dehydration process will be complete | finished and a series of washing operations will be complete | finished.
