In the present embodiment, as described above, strong alkaline ionized water having a pH of 13.1 is stored in a storage tank (for example, 115a), and the stored strong alkaline ionized water is stored in a washing tub (for example, laundry of the laundry machine 110a). Water is supplied to the washing tub, and water is supplied to the washing tub to dilute the strong alkaline ionized water 50 times in the washing tub, so that the alkaline ionized water of about pH 11.5 suitable for washing clothes and the like is used. Is to generate
Therefore, the water supply control unit 60 performs water supply control of strong alkaline ionized water so that the concentration of alkaline ionized water generated in each of the laundry tubs of the laundry appliances 110a to 111d is about pH 11.5.

In the present embodiment, the water supply control of each of the laundry devices 110a to 110d is executed by the laundry device control unit 70a.
Therefore, the water supply control unit 60 executes water supply control for supplying strong alkaline ionized water into each of the laundry tubs of the laundry devices 110a to 111d.
Since the water supply control here generates alkaline ionized water having a pH of about 11.5, strongly alkaline ions are used so that the amount of water supplied = 50 with respect to the amount of water supplied with strong alkaline ionized water = 13.1 pH = 1. Water supply control of water will be executed.

<Water supply setting process for strong alkaline ionized water>
Next, the water supply setting process performed by the water supply control unit 60 will be described.
For example, it is assumed that laundry machines 110a to 110d are newly installed in the coin laundry store 2.
And the strongly alkaline ion water supply valves 112a to 112d, the water flow meters 121a to 121d, the strong alkali ion water flow meters 122a to 122d (refer to FIG. 2), the strong alkali ions corresponding to each of the laundry machines 110a to 110d. The water supply valves 112a to 112d, the strong alkaline ionized water supply ports 114a to 114d, the storage tanks 115a to 115d (refer to FIG. 1) are attached, and the water supply control unit 60, the setting input unit 61, and the communication unit 62 are installed. Assume.

  In addition, operation check of the strong alkaline ion water supply valves 112a to 112d and the strong alkaline ion water supply valves 112a to 112d by the water supply control unit 60, the water supply control unit 60, the water flow meters 121a to 121d, and the strong alkaline ion water flow meters 122a to 122a Assume that the communication confirmation with 122d is completed.

  The laundry capacity of each laundry machine is 10 kg for the laundry machine 110a (laundry machine ID = 01) and 110b (laundry machine ID = 02), and the laundry machine 110c (laundry machine ID = 03). ), 110d (assuming that the laundry machine ID = 04) is 18 kg. Further, it is assumed that the laundry devices 110a and 110b have a required amount of alkaline ionized water at the time of washing of 50 liters, and the laundry devices 110c and 110d have a required amount of alkaline ionized water of at the time of washing of 80 liters.

  In this case, 0.98 liters (0.00098 cubic meters) of strongly alkaline ionized water is supplied to the laundry equipment 110a (laundry equipment ID = 01) and 110b (laundry equipment ID = 02) (49 liters (0. 049 cubic meters), laundry equipment 110c (laundry equipment ID = 03), 110d (laundry equipment ID = 04) is supplied with 1.57 liters (0.00157 cubic meters) of strong alkaline ionized water (water 78.5 liters (0.0785 cubic meters) of water).

In the present embodiment, each of the strong alkali ion water supply valves 112a to 112d has a diameter of 20 mm, and can supply 1 liter (0.001 cubic meter) of strong alkali ion water per minute. The water supply speed is slower than that.
In addition, the diameter of each strong alkali ion water supply valve 112a-112d is not restricted to this, Moreover, it is not restricted to this also about the amount of water supply of the strong alkali ion water for every minute.

An administrator who sets the amount of strongly alkaline ionized water to be supplied to each of the laundry devices 110a to 110d operates the setting input unit 61 to perform initial setting from the main menu screen displayed on the monitor of the water supply control unit 60. Select the menu screen.
This initial setting menu screen has a water supply amount input field for inputting a water supply amount in association with each ID number (ID = 01-04) of each of the laundry machines 110a to 110d, and the administrator supplies the water supply for each ID number. The water supply amount of strong alkaline ionized water is input (for example, 0.00098 is associated with ID = 1, 2 and 0.00157 is associated with ID = 3, 4). When all inputs are completed and the “registration” key is clicked, the supply amount of strong alkaline ionized water for each of the laundry machines 100a to 110d is set and registered.

<Water supply control processing>
Next, a water supply control process of strong alkaline ionized water executed by the water supply control unit 60 will be described.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the water supply control process.

A feature of the water supply control process of the strong alkaline ionized water in the present embodiment is that the supply of the strong alkaline ionized water is started after confirming that the water is supplied to the washing tub.
By doing in this way, it is possible to prevent the clothes etc. from being damaged as much as possible by attaching only the strong alkaline ionized water to the clothes etc. in the washing tub.

Moreover, as a feature of the water supply control process of strong alkaline ionized water in the present embodiment, the water supply speed (flow rate) of strong alkaline ionized water is made slower than the water supply speed (flow rate) of water to the washing tub. is there.
By doing in this way, it is possible to prevent the clothes etc. from being damaged as much as possible by attaching alkaline ionized water having a high alkali concentration to the clothes etc. in the washing tub.

First, in step S101, the water supply control unit 60 determines whether or not there is a strong alkaline ionized water supply valve in which an error has occurred among the strong alkaline ionized water supply valves 112a to 112d.
If it is determined that there is a strong alkaline ionized water supply valve in which an error has occurred, the process proceeds to step S102. If it is determined that there is no strong alkaline ionized water supply valve in which an error has occurred, the process proceeds to step S103.

In step S <b> 102, the water supply control unit 60 executes error processing 1. This error process 1 is an error process related to the strong alkaline ionized water supply valve. As described later, the strong alkaline ionized water is supplied even though the water supply control unit 60 does not open the strong alkaline ionized water supply valve. If it is determined that there is an error (ie, there is a suspicion of failure of the strong alkaline ion water supply valve), and if it is determined that there is an error, strong alkaline ion water supply water corresponding to any of the laundry machines 110a to 110d Whether the valve is in error is displayed on the monitor of the water supply control unit 60, and indicates that a strong alkaline ionized water supply valve error has occurred to the laundry device control unit of the laundry device in which this error has occurred. Send error 1 information.
When normal operation is confirmed by repair or replacement of the strong alkaline ionized water supply valve in which an error has occurred, the error is released (automatic release by the water supply control unit 60 or manual release by the maintenance person).
When this error processing 1 is completed, the process proceeds to step S106.

In addition, the laundry device controllers 70a to 70d that have received the error 1 information indicate that a strong alkaline ionized water supply valve error has occurred in the corresponding information indicators 116a to 116d, for example, “Error 1: Strong alkaline ionized water”. “Check the water supply valve.” And the like, and the corresponding status display lamps 117a to 117d are lit red to indicate that an error has occurred.
Note that if normal operation is confirmed by repairing or replacing a strong alkaline ionized water supply valve in which an error has occurred, error 1 information will not be transmitted from the water supply control unit 60, so the laundry device control units 70a to 70d display information. The error display on the devices 116a to 116d and the status display lamps 117a to 117d is terminated.

  In step S103, the water supply control unit 60 confirms the strong alkali ion water flow meters 122a to 122d corresponding to the laundry devices 110a to 110d.

In step S104, the water supply controller 60 determines whether or not there is a strong alkali ion water flow meter that has a change in flow rate (that is, strong alkali ion water is flowing) among the strong alkali ion water flow meters 122a to 122d. judge.
If there is a strong alkaline ionized water flow meter with a change in flow rate, the process proceeds to step S105, and if there is no strong alkaline ionized water flow meter with a change in flow rate, the process proceeds to step S106.

  In step S105, the water supply control unit 60 determines whether or not the strong alkali ion water flow meter having a change in flow rate is in the water supply state when the water supply control unit 60 opens the strong alkali ion water supply valve.

  In step S <b> 106, the water supply control unit 60 determines whether there is a water supply instruction for strong alkaline ionized water from any of the laundry machine control units 70 a to 70 d. If there is a water supply instruction, the process proceeds to step S107, and if there is no water supply instruction, the process proceeds to step S110.

  In step S107, the water supply control unit 60 confirms the water flow meter corresponding to the laundry machine that has received the water supply instruction, and proceeds to step S108.

In step S108, the water supply control unit 60 determines whether or not there is a change in the flow rate of the water flow meter corresponding to the laundry machine that has received the water supply instruction (that is, water is flowing).
If there is a change in the flow rate of the water flow meter, the process proceeds to step S110, and if there is no change in the flow rate of the water flow meter, the process proceeds to step S109.

In step S <b> 109, the water supply control unit 60 executes error processing 2. This error process 2 is an error process related to the water supply valve of the laundry device and an error process related to water supply to the water supply valve, and water that should be supplied is not supplied (that is, the water supply valve of the water supply valve). A water supply valve corresponding to any of the laundry devices 110a to 110d when it is determined that there is an error in case of failure or that water is suspected of not being supplied to the water supply valve) Is displayed on the monitor of the water supply control unit 60, and error 2 information indicating that a water supply valve error has occurred to the laundry device control unit of the laundry device in which this error has occurred is displayed. Send.
When normal operation is confirmed by repairing or replacing the water supply valve in which an error has occurred, the error is released (automatic release by the water supply control unit 60 or manual release by the maintenance person).

In addition, the laundry machine control units 70a to 70d that have received the error 2 information indicate that the water supply valve error has occurred in the corresponding information indicators 116a to 116d, for example, “Error 2: Confirm water supply valve”. "." And the corresponding status display lamps 117a to 117d are lit in red to indicate that an error is occurring.
In addition, when normal operation is confirmed by repair or replacement of the water supply valve in which an error has occurred, or when water is supplied to the water supply valve, the error 2 information is not transmitted from the water supply control unit 60. The laundry machine control units 70a to 70d end the error display on the information indicators 116a to 116d and the status display lamps 117a to 117d.

  In step S110, the water supply control unit 60 opens the strong alkaline ionized water supply valve corresponding to the laundry machine control unit that has been instructed to supply water, and proceeds to step S111. For example, when there is a water supply instruction from the laundry device control unit 70a, the water supply control unit 60 opens the strong alkaline ionized water supply valve 112a.

In step S111, the water supply controller 60 measures the flow rate in the strong alkali ion water flow meter corresponding to the opened strong alkali ion water supply valve.
As described above, in this embodiment, 0.98 liters (0.00098 cubic meters) of strong alkaline ionized water is supplied to the laundry equipment 110a (laundry equipment ID = 01) and 110b (laundry equipment ID = 02), The laundry device 110c (laundry device ID = 03) and 110d (laundry device ID = 04) are supplied with 1.57 liters (0.00157 cubic meters) of strong alkaline ionized water.

In step S112, the water supply control unit 60 sets a preset flow rate from the numerical value of the flow meter at the start of water supply of strong alkaline ionized water (for example, if the laundry device ID = 1, 2, 0.00098 cubic meters, the laundry device ID = 3 or 4, it is determined whether or not the flow rate obtained by adding 0.00157 cubic meters is reached.
If it is determined that the set flow rate has been reached, the process proceeds to step S113. If it is determined that the set flow rate has not been reached, the process proceeds to step S111 and measurement of the flow rate is continued.

  In step S113, the water supply control unit 60 closes the water supply control process after closing the strong alkaline ionized water supply valve corresponding to the laundry machine that has reached the set flow rate.

  In this water supply control process, since the process for the laundry machine ID = 1 to 4 is executed by a control method such as multitasking, for example, the error process 1 described above is being executed for the laundry machine ID = 2. However, water supply control processing of other laundry devices can be executed, and it is also possible to supply an appropriate amount of strong alkaline ionized water while measuring the respective flow rates at the same time in the laundry device ID = 1 to 4.

  In the present embodiment, the storage tanks 115a to 115d in which 20 liters of strong alkaline ionized water is initially stored are replaced and used. And when exchanging to a new storage tank, the accumulated flow value stored in the strong alkaline ionized water flow meter is cleared to 0 (automatically clearing by detecting manual or replacement of the storage tank) .
