Description

本発明は洗濯機の分野に属し、具体的には、洗濯機の給水装置及び洗濯機に関するものである。 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention belongs to the field of washing machines, and more particularly, to a water supply device for washing machines and a washing machine.

生活水準の向上が続くに伴って、入浴時に湯船に浸かる家庭が増えている。しかし、入浴後に浴槽内の水をそのまま排水していたのでは大変な無駄となる。また、水資源が日に日に逼迫していることから、廃水の再利用はとりわけ重要と思われる。一方で、多くの家庭に洗濯機が普及しており、生活用水のかなりの部分を洗濯機の使用水量が占めている。そこで、これらを如何に連携させて水を十分に活用するかが人々の多大な関心事となっている。日本では、1990年代から風呂の残り湯を衣類洗浄に利用し初めており、風呂の残り湯で衣類を洗浄可能な洗濯機が開発されている。風呂の残り湯を利用する洗濯機では生活用水の再利用が実現されることから、洗濯機の使用水量が大幅に減少する。 As the standard of living continues to improve, more and more families are soaking in a bathtub when taking a bath. However, if the water in the bathtub is drained as it is after bathing, it is very wasteful. Also, as water resources are becoming increasingly scarce, recycling of wastewater seems particularly important. On the other hand, washing machines are widely used in many households, and the amount of water used by washing machines accounts for a considerable portion of domestic water. Therefore, it is a matter of great concern for people how to link these to make full use of water. In Japan, leftover bath water has been used for washing clothes since the 1990s, and a washing machine capable of washing clothes with leftover bath water has been developed. Since the washing machine using the remaining hot water from the bath can reuse domestic water, the amount of water used by the washing machine can be greatly reduced.

また、通常の洗濯乾燥機は、洗浄槽に投入された衣類を洗浄可能であるとともに、洗浄完了後には、選択されたプログラムに基づいて衣類を乾燥させることが可能である。乾燥過程では、加熱装置の作用により、乾燥した空気を加熱管内で加熱することで乾燥した熱い空気を形成する。これを洗浄槽に導入し、洗浄槽内の濡れた衣類との間で熱交換を発生させることで、衣類中の水分を除去してやや湿った熱い空気を形成する。このやや湿った熱い空気は洗浄槽に設置された出口から凝縮アセンブリに進入し、凝縮アセンブリの凝縮作用によって、やや湿った熱い空気中の水分が凝縮して水となる。これが排水管から排出されることで、凝縮された空気は相対的に乾燥した冷たい空気となる。この空気はファンの作用によって再び加熱管に導入され、加熱されることで乾燥した熱い空気となって次のサイクルに突入する。これを乾燥プログラムが終了するまで繰り返す。 In addition, a normal washing/drying machine can wash the clothes put into the washing tub and, after washing is completed, can dry the clothes based on the selected program. In the drying process, the action of the heating device heats the dry air in the heating tube to form dry hot air. By introducing this into the washing tank and generating heat exchange with the wet clothes in the washing tank, the water in the clothes is removed and slightly moist hot air is formed. This hot, semi-moist air enters the condensing assembly through an outlet located in the wash tank, and the condensing action of the assembly causes the moisture in the hot, semi-moist air to condense into water. As it exits the drain pipe, the condensed air becomes relatively dry and cool. This air is reintroduced into the heating tube by the action of the fan, where it is heated to become dry and hot air for the next cycle. This is repeated until the drying program ends.

衣類の洗浄及び乾燥過程では、多くの毛羽やその他の異物(以下、毛羽とする)の発生が不可避である。毛羽は湿った熱い空気とともに給水口から給水経路へと直接進入し、給水経路を汚染するだけでなく、洗濯機の給水経路のクリーニングコストを増加させる。また、深刻な場合には給水経路を詰まらせる恐れもある。 In the process of washing and drying clothes, it is inevitable that a lot of fluff and other foreign substances (hereinafter referred to as fluff) are generated. The fluff directly enters the water supply channel from the water supply port together with the moist and hot air, and not only contaminates the water supply channel, but also increases the cleaning cost of the water supply channel of the washing machine. Moreover, in serious cases, there is a risk of clogging the water supply route.

以上に鑑みて、本発明を提案する。 In view of the above, the present invention is proposed.

本発明は、従来技術の瑕疵を解消し、給水時にのみ洗浄槽と給水経路を連通し、乾燥等のプログラムを実行する際には給水経路と洗浄槽を遮断する洗濯機の給水装置及び洗濯機を提供することを解決しようとする技術的課題とする。これにより、乾燥過程における熱損失や、給水経路に糸屑等の汚染物質が進入するとの課題が回避される。また、本発明の給水装置は、異なる給水経路から供給される洗浄水を受け付ける。且つ、タンクの流路分配室内の流路を用いて主給水と吸水ポンプとを並列接続することで、従来のような吸水ポンプのために独立して設置される給水弁を不要とする。本発明は、吸水ポンプを備える洗濯機と比較して、部品数が少なく、低コストであり、占有体積が小さい等の利点を有する。これにより、洗濯機は、風呂の残り湯等の別の水源を洗濯機の洗浄水として利用しやすくなり、使用水量を節約するとの目的が達せられる。 The present invention is a water supply device for a washing machine and a washing machine that eliminates the defects of the prior art and connects the washing tub and the water supply path only when water is supplied, and shuts off the water supply path and the washing tub when a program such as drying is executed. is a technical problem to be solved by providing This avoids the problems of heat loss during the drying process and the ingress of contaminants such as lint into the water supply path. Also, the water supply device of the present invention receives washing water supplied from different water supply routes. In addition, by connecting the main water supply and the water suction pump in parallel using the flow path in the flow distribution chamber of the tank, there is no need for a conventional water supply valve independently installed for the water suction pump. The present invention has advantages such as fewer parts, lower cost, and smaller occupied volume than a washing machine equipped with a water suction pump. This makes it easier for the washing machine to use another water source, such as leftover hot water from a bath, as washing water for the washing machine, thereby achieving the purpose of saving the amount of water used.

上記の技術方案を用いることで、本発明は従来技術と比較して以下の有益な効果を有する。 By using the above technical solutions, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

本発明における洗濯機の給水装置及び洗濯機は、洗濯機の給水経路に一方向連通装置が設けられている。前記一方向連通装置は、洗濯機の給水時に水圧を受けて開放され、給水完了後には閉止を維持する。洗浄槽は給水時にのみ給水経路と連通し、乾燥等のプログラムを実行する際には給水経路と洗浄槽を遮断する。これにより、乾燥過程における熱損失や、給水経路に糸屑等の汚染物質が進入するとの課題が回避される。 In the water supply device for the washing machine and the washing machine according to the present invention, the one-way communication device is provided in the water supply path of the washing machine. The one-way communication device is opened under water pressure when water is supplied to the washing machine, and remains closed after water supply is completed. The washing tank communicates with the water supply path only when water is supplied, and the water supply path and the washing tank are cut off when a program such as drying is executed. This avoids the problems of heat loss during the drying process and the ingress of contaminants such as lint into the water supply path.

前記給水装置は給水経路と連通するタンクを含み、当該一方向連通装置は洗濯機のタンクの吐水口に設けられている。当該タンクは、洗浄槽と連通して個別に給水可能な第1給水経路及び第2給水経路と連通する。前記第1給水経路は吸水ポンプを含み、前記第2給水経路は前記吸水ポンプと連通する。これにより、主吸水と吸水ポンプとの並列接続が実現されるため、給水経路への給水と同時に吸水ポンプのポンプ室への潅水、即ち呼び水のプロセスも実現される。その結果、吸水ポンプは給水経路の開放後に迅速に起動可能となるため、従来のような吸水ポンプを起動するための呼び水に必要とされる独立した導水用の給水弁は省略される。よって、従来の吸水ポンプを備える洗濯機と比較して部品数が少なく、低コストとなり、且つ占有体積が小さくなる。 The water supply device includes a tank that communicates with the water supply path, and the one-way communication device is provided at the water outlet of the tank of the washing machine. The tank communicates with a first water supply path and a second water supply path, which communicate with the washing tank and are capable of supplying water individually. The first water supply path includes a water suction pump, and the second water supply path communicates with the water suction pump. As a result, the main water suction and the water suction pump are connected in parallel, so that the water supply to the water supply path and the water supply to the pump chamber of the water suction pump, that is, the priming process is also realized. As a result, since the water suction pump can be started quickly after the water supply path is opened, the conventional independent water supply valve required for priming for starting the water suction pump is omitted. Therefore, compared with a conventional washing machine equipped with a water suction pump, the number of parts is reduced, the cost is reduced, and the occupied volume is reduced.

この目的を実現するために、本発明では、タンク内に、前記吸水ポンプのポンプ室に水流を流入させるよう案内する第1流路を設けている。当該第1流路は、吸水ポンプとは独立した給水経路と直接連通する。タンク内の流路の配置によって上記の呼び水用水路による案内を実現しているため、従来の洗濯機を改造する際のコストが抑えられる。また、タンクを交換することで、洗濯機に吸水ポンプによる吸水機能を素早く持たせることが可能である。 In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a first channel in the tank for guiding the water flow to flow into the pump chamber of the water suction pump. The first flow path directly communicates with a water supply path independent of the water suction pump. Guidance by the priming water channel is realized by the arrangement of the flow channel in the tank, so that the cost of modifying a conventional washing machine can be reduced. Also, by replacing the tank, the washing machine can be quickly provided with a water absorption function by means of a water absorption pump.

本発明における流路分配室の第1給水端の設置高さが前記第1吐水端の設置高さよりも低く、第1給水端と前記第1吐水端がそれぞれ前記流路分配室の対向する両側に設けられるとの設計は、タンクからの溢流によってポンプへの呼び水を完了するためのものである。このような方式によれば、給水回路の長さを延長できるだけでなく、給水にエネルギーが緩衝する領域を提供可能となる。これにより、給水時の水流の衝撃が低減し、タンクへの水流進入後の流動性を低下させられるため、水流をより安定的に流路の導流方向に従って流動させることが可能となる。 In the present invention, the installation height of the first water supply end of the channel distribution chamber is lower than the installation height of the first water discharge end, and the first water supply end and the first water discharge end are respectively on opposite sides of the channel distribution chamber. The design is to complete priming of the pump by overflow from the tank. According to such a system, it is possible not only to extend the length of the water supply circuit, but also to provide an energy buffer area for the water supply. As a result, the impact of the water flow during water supply is reduced, and the fluidity after the water flow enters the tank is reduced, so that the water flow can be caused to flow more stably in the guiding direction of the channel.

タンクの流路分配室の下部には混水室が設けられており、混水室が洗浄槽と連通する。また、混水室と流路分配室は複数の開口を通じて連通している。これにより、異なる流路からの水流が最終的に混水室に合流可能となり、最後には、洗浄槽に向けて開放された混水室の開口から洗浄槽へと流入するよう保証している。 A water mixing chamber is provided below the channel distribution chamber of the tank, and the water mixing chamber communicates with the washing tank. Also, the water mixing chamber and the channel distribution chamber communicate with each other through a plurality of openings. This ensures that the water streams from the different channels can finally join the mixing chamber and finally enter the washing tank through the opening of the mixing chamber that is open towards the washing tank. .

本発明における混水室の吐水口には一方向弁が更に設けられている。前記一方向弁は、圧力の有/無に応じて閉止/開放状態を維持することで、当該吐水口の開/閉状態の切り替えを制御する。これにより、給水時にのみ洗浄槽を給水経路と連通し、乾燥等のプログラムを実行する際には給水経路と洗浄槽を遮断する。よって、乾燥過程における熱損失や、給水経路に糸屑等の汚染物質が進入するとの課題が回避される。 A one-way valve is further provided at the spout of the water mixing chamber in the present invention. The one-way valve maintains the closed/open state according to the presence/absence of pressure, thereby controlling switching between the open/closed state of the spout. As a result, the cleaning tank is communicated with the water supply path only when water is supplied, and the water supply path and the cleaning tank are disconnected when a program such as drying is executed. Therefore, problems such as heat loss during the drying process and contaminants such as lint entering the water supply path are avoided.

本発明では、第1流路における呼び水用の水以外の水を第2流路を通じて洗浄槽に流入させることで、主給水と吸水ポンプとの並列接続を実現しているため、吸水速度が上昇する。また、吸水ポンプが吸い込んだ水は、流路分配室内に設けられる第3流路を通じて洗浄槽へと流入し、洗濯機に洗浄水を供給する。且つ、吸水ポンプの起動後は、給水弁を閉じることで第1流路への給水を停止し、吸水ポンプのみで給水を行ってもよい。吸水ポンプは吸水機能を有するため、日常生活で蓄えられたその他の水を洗濯機に吸い込むことが可能である。特に、吸水ポンプは家庭の浴槽といった大型の貯水装置と連通可能なため、使用水量を大幅に節約するとの目的が達せられる。 In the present invention, water other than the priming water in the first flow path flows into the washing tank through the second flow path, thereby achieving a parallel connection between the main water supply and the water suction pump, thereby increasing the water absorption speed. do. Further, the water sucked by the water suction pump flows into the washing tank through the third channel provided in the channel distribution chamber, and supplies the washing water to the washing machine. Further, after the water suction pump is started, the water supply to the first flow path may be stopped by closing the water supply valve, and water may be supplied only by the water suction pump. Since the water suction pump has a water suction function, it can suck other water accumulated in daily life into the washing machine. In particular, since the water suction pump can communicate with a large-sized water storage device such as a bathtub at home, the purpose of greatly saving the amount of water used can be achieved.

図1~図6に示すように、本発明は、洗濯機の給水装置及び洗濯機について開示する。洗濯機の給水経路には一方向連通装置が設けられている。前記一方向連通装置は、洗濯機の給水時に水圧を受けて開放され、給水完了後には閉止を維持する。本発明では、給水時にのみ洗浄槽と給水経路を連通し、乾燥等のプログラムを実行する際には給水経路と洗浄槽を遮断する。これにより、乾燥過程における熱損失や、給水経路に糸屑等の汚染物質が進入するとの課題が回避される。また、本発明の給水装置は、異なる給水経路から供給される洗浄水を受け付ける。且つ、タンクの流路分配室内の流路を用いて主給水と吸水ポンプとを並列接続することで、従来のような吸水ポンプのために独立して設置される給水弁を不要とする。本発明は、吸水ポンプを備える洗濯機と比較して、部品数が少なく、低コストであり、占有体積が小さい等の利点を有する。これにより、洗濯機は、風呂の残り湯等の別の水源を洗濯機の洗浄水として利用しやすくなり、使用水量を節約するとの目的が達せられる。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the present invention discloses a washing machine water supply device and a washing machine.

In addition, by connecting the main water supply and the water suction pump in parallel using the flow path in the flow distribution chamber of the tank, there is no need for a water supply valve independently installed for the conventional water suction pump. The present invention has advantages such as a smaller number of parts, a lower cost, and a smaller occupied volume than a washing machine equipped with a water suction pump. This makes it easier for the washing machine to use another water source, such as leftover hot water from a bath, as washing water for the washing machine, thereby achieving the purpose of saving the amount of water used.

図1~図6に示すように、本実施例は洗濯機の給水装置について開示する。当該洗濯機の給水経路には一方向連通装置が設けられている。前記一方向連通装置は、洗濯機の給水時に水圧を受けて開放され、給水完了後には閉止を維持する。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, this embodiment discloses a water supply device for a washing machine. A one-way communication device is provided in the water supply path of the washing machine. The one-way communication device is opened under water pressure when water is supplied to the washing machine, and remains closed after water supply is completed.

図示するように、前記給水装置は給水経路と連通するタンク1を含む。前記タンク1は吐水口61を有して洗濯機の洗浄槽と連通する。前記一方向連通装置は前記吐水口61に装着されて、前記吐水口61の開/閉状態の切り替えを制御する。 As shown, the water supply system includes a tank 1 communicating with a water supply route. The tank 1 has a spout 61 and communicates with the washing tub of the washing machine. The one-way communication device is mounted on the spout 61 to control switching between open and closed states of the spout 61 .

本実施例において、前記一方向連通装置は吐水口61に装着される一方向弁62である。なお、図6に示す前記一方向弁の材質はゴムである。 In this embodiment, the one-way communication device is a one-way valve 62 mounted on the spout 61 . The material of the one-way valve shown in FIG. 6 is rubber.

図5に示すように、本実施例の前記洗濯機には、洗浄槽と連通する乾燥モジュール13が設けられている。前記乾燥モジュール13は衣類の乾燥に用いられる。前記一方向弁62は、衣類乾燥の実行時に洗浄槽内の空気が洗濯機の給水経路に進入するのを阻止するために用いられる。 As shown in FIG. 5, the washing machine of this embodiment is provided with a drying module 13 communicating with the washing tub. The drying module 13 is used for drying clothes. The one-way valve 62 is used to prevent the air in the washing tub from entering the water supply path of the washing machine when drying the clothes.

当該給水装置は、タンク1とそれぞれ連通して個別に給水可能な第1給水経路と第2給水経路を含む。前記第1給水経路は吸水ポンプ2を含み、前記第2給水経路は前記吸水ポンプ2と連通する。本実施例において、第2給水経路は、水道の給水経路を通じて洗浄槽に給水するものである。 The water supply device includes a first water supply path and a second water supply path that communicate with the tank 1 and can individually supply water. The first water supply path includes a water suction pump 2 , and the second water supply path communicates with the water suction pump 2 . In this embodiment, the second water supply route supplies water to the washing tank through the water supply route of the tap.

前記第1給水経路の吸水ポンプ2と第2給水経路はそれぞれタンク1と連通する。タンク1はタンク上蓋11を含む。また、前記タンク1は流路分配室5を含む。前記流路分配室5には、前記吸水ポンプ2のポンプ室に水流を流入させるよう案内する第1流路51が設けられている。これにより、第2給水経路と前記吸水ポンプのポンプ室との連通を実現している。 The water suction pump 2 of the first water supply path and the second water supply path communicate with the tank 1 respectively. Tank 1 includes a tank top lid 11 . The tank 1 also includes a channel distribution chamber 5 . The channel distribution chamber 5 is provided with a first channel 51 that guides water to flow into the pump chamber of the water suction pump 2 . This realizes communication between the second water supply path and the pump chamber of the water suction pump.

前記吸水ポンプ2には吸水ポンプ導水口21が設けられており、吸水ポンプ2の動作によって、別の水源からの水を洗浄槽に吸い込んで洗濯機の洗浄に利用することが可能となる。本発明では、当該吸水ポンプ2を使用し、吸水ポンプ導水口21を家庭の浴槽と連通することで、風呂の残り湯を利用して洗濯を実施する機能を実現可能となる。これにより、洗濯機の使用水量が減少する。 The water suction pump 2 is provided with a water suction pump water inlet 21, and by the operation of the water suction pump 2, water from another water source can be sucked into the washing tank and used for washing the washing machine. In the present invention, by using the water suction pump 2 and communicating the water suction pump conduit 21 with the bathtub at home, it is possible to realize the function of washing clothes using leftover bath water. This reduces the amount of water used in the washing machine.

本発明の洗濯機は、更に、前記吸水ポンプ2とは独立した給水経路を含む。本実施例において、当該給水経路は家庭の水道と連通し、給水弁9によって開閉制御が行われる。前記流路分配室5は、第1流路51とそれぞれ連通する第1給水端511と第1吐水端512を有する。前記第1給水端511は洗濯機の給水経路と連通し、第1吐水端512は前記吸水ポンプ2のポンプ室と連通する。 The washing machine of the present invention further includes a water supply path independent of the water suction pump 2 . In this embodiment, the water supply path communicates with the domestic water supply, and is controlled to open and close by the water supply valve 9 . The channel distribution chamber 5 has a first water supply end 511 and a first water discharge end 512 communicating with the first channel 51 respectively. The first water supply end 511 communicates with the water supply path of the washing machine, and the first water discharge end 512 communicates with the pump chamber of the water suction pump 2 .

一般的に、吸水ポンプは動作の前に、ポンプ室に液体を充満させる呼び水を行わねばならない。そのためには、当該吸水ポンプのポンプ室に水流を流入させるよう制御する独立した給水弁が必要となり、呼び水作業の完了後にようやく吸水ポンプの正常な動作を開始可能となる。これに対し、本発明の第1流路51は、吸水ポンプ2とは独立した給水経路と直接連通する。これにより、主吸水と吸水ポンプ2との並列接続が実現されるため、給水経路への給水と同時に吸水ポンプ2のポンプ室への潅水、即ち呼び水のプロセスも実現される。その結果、吸水ポンプは給水経路の開放後に迅速に起動可能となるため、従来のような吸水ポンプを起動するための呼び水に必要とされる独立した導水用の給水弁は省略される。よって、従来の吸水ポンプを備える洗濯機と比較して、部品数が少なく、低コストとなり、且つ占有体積が小さくなる。 In general, a suction pump must be primed to fill the pump chamber with liquid before operation. For this purpose, an independent water supply valve is required to control water flow into the pump chamber of the water suction pump, and the water suction pump can only start normal operation after the priming operation is completed. In contrast, the first flow path 51 of the present invention directly communicates with a water supply path independent of the water suction pump 2 . As a result, the main water suction and the water suction pump 2 are connected in parallel, so that the pump chamber of the water suction pump 2 is supplied with water at the same time as the water is supplied to the water supply path, that is, the priming process is also realized. As a result, since the water suction pump can be started quickly after the water supply path is opened, the conventional independent water supply valve required for priming for starting the water suction pump is omitted. Therefore, the number of parts is reduced, the cost is reduced, and the occupied volume is reduced as compared with a conventional washing machine equipped with a water suction pump.

流路の導流作用をより良好に実現するために、図3に示すように、本実施例における流路分配室5の第1給水端511の設置高さは、前記第1吐水端512の設置高さよりも低くなっている。且つ、前記第1給水端511と前記第1吐水端512は、それぞれ前記流路分配室5の対向する両側に設けられており、前記第1流路が前記流路分配室を横断している。このような方式によれば、給水回路の長さを延長できるだけでなく、給水にエネルギーが緩衝する領域を提供可能となる。これにより、給水時の水流の衝撃が低減し、タンクへの水流進入後の流動性を低下させられるため、水流をより安定的に流路の導流方向に従って流動させることが可能となる。 In order to better realize the flow guiding action of the flow path, the installation height of the first water supply end 511 of the flow path distribution chamber 5 in this embodiment is set to the height of the first water discharge end 512, as shown in FIG. It is lower than the installation height. The first water supply end 511 and the first water discharge end 512 are provided on opposite sides of the channel distribution chamber 5, respectively, and the first channel crosses the channel distribution chamber. . According to such a system, it is possible not only to extend the length of the water supply circuit, but also to provide an energy buffer area for the water supply. As a result, the impact of the water flow during water supply is reduced, and the fluidity after the water flow enters the tank is reduced, so that the water flow can be caused to flow more stably in the guiding direction of the channel.

言うまでもなく、第1給水端511の設置高さが前記第1吐水端512の設置高さよりも低くなっていることから、洗濯機の使用完了後には、第1流路51の第1給水端511付近に水溜まりができる恐れがあり、これが衛生面での潜在的リスクとなり得る。このような状況の発生を回避するために、図3に示すように、本実施例では、第1流路51の底部における第1給水端511付近に、前記第1流路51内の第1給水端511付近の溜水を排出するための開口を開設している。前記開口は溜水排水口513である。溜水排水口513の断面は第1給水端511の断面よりも遥かに小さいため、第1流路51内で水が流動する際に大量の水が漏れ出すことはない。一方で、洗濯機が給水を停止したあとは、当該溜水排水口513を通じて流路から当該箇所の溜水を排出可能となる。 Needless to say, since the installation height of the first water supply end 511 is lower than the installation height of the first water discharge end 512, the first water supply end 511 of the first flow path 51 can be removed after using the washing machine. Puddles can form nearby, which can be a potential hygiene risk. In order to avoid the occurrence of such a situation, as shown in FIG. An opening is provided for discharging pooled water near the water supply end 511 . The opening is a pooled water drain port 513 . Since the cross-section of the pooled water outlet 513 is much smaller than the cross-section of the first water supply end 511 , a large amount of water does not leak out when the water flows in the first channel 51 . On the other hand, after the washing machine stops supplying water, it is possible to drain the accumulated water from the flow path through the accumulated water outlet 513 .

図1及び図4に示すように、前記タンクは、前記流路分配室と連通し且つ前記流路分配室の下方に位置する混水室6を更に含む。前記混水室6は、吐水口61を通じて洗浄槽と連通し、分配室内の異なる流路からの水を、洗濯機での洗浄に使用するために当該吐水口61を通じて洗浄槽61に流入させる。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the tank further includes a mixing chamber 6 communicating with and positioned below the flow distribution chamber. Said water mixing chamber 6 communicates with the washing tub through a spout 61 allowing water from different channels in the distribution chamber to enter the washing tub 61 through said spout 61 for use in washing in the washing machine.

図3に示すように、前記流路分配室5内には第2流路52が更に備わっている。また、前記流路分配室5は、第2流路52とそれぞれ連通する第2給水端521と第2吐水端522を有する。前記第2給水端521は第1流路51と連通する。前記第2吐水端522は、前記流路分配室5の底部に位置する開口であり、前記混水室6と連通する。本実施例において、第2流路52の役割は、第1流路51と連携して給水経路から洗濯機への給水(本実施例では水道水)を実現することである。即ち、第1流路51が給水経路から引き込む水流の流動方向には、第1吐水端512を通じて吸水ポンプのポンプ室に流入する方向と、第2流路52を通じて混水室6から洗浄槽に流入する方向の2つが存在する。 As shown in FIG. 3, a second channel 52 is further provided inside the channel distribution chamber 5 . Further, the channel distribution chamber 5 has a second water supply end 521 and a second water discharge end 522 communicating with the second channel 52 respectively. The second water supply end 521 communicates with the first channel 51 . The second water discharge end 522 is an opening positioned at the bottom of the flow path distribution chamber 5 and communicates with the water mixing chamber 6 . In this embodiment, the role of the second flow path 52 is to cooperate with the first flow path 51 to supply water (tap water in this embodiment) to the washing machine from the water supply path. That is, the flow direction of the water flow drawn from the water supply path by the first flow path 51 is the direction of flowing into the pump chamber of the water suction pump through the first water discharge end 512 and the direction of flow from the water mixing chamber 6 through the second flow path 52 to the washing tank. There are two directions of inflow.

図3に示すように、本実施例の前記第2吐水端522は、前記流路分配室5の底部に位置する開口であり、当該開口は下方の混水室6と直接連通する。同様に、第1流路51における溜水排水口513も前記混水室6と連通しており、溜水を混水室6に排出する。溜水は、最終的に吐水口61を通じて洗濯機の洗浄槽に進入する。 As shown in FIG. 3, the second water discharge end 522 of the present embodiment is an opening located at the bottom of the flow distribution chamber 5, which directly communicates with the water mixing chamber 6 below. Similarly, the pooled water discharge port 513 in the first flow path 51 is also communicated with the water mixing chamber 6 to discharge the pooled water to the water mixing chamber 6 . The pooled water finally enters the washing tub of the washing machine through the spout 61 .

本実施例におけるタンク及び当該タンクを使用する洗濯機は、一般的な洗濯機と比較して、吸水ポンプで吸い込んだ風呂の残り湯等のその他の回収水を用いて洗濯機能を遂行可能なことが最大の利点である。そのため、本実施例の流路分配室5内には、吸水ポンプ2内の水をタンク1に流入させるよう案内する流路であって、前記吸水ポンプ2の排水口と連通する第3流路53が更に設けられている。また、前記流路分配室5は、第3流路53とそれぞれ連通する第3給水端531と第3吐水端532を有する。前記第3給水端531は前記吸水ポンプの排水口と連通し、前記第3流路53の第3吐水端532は前記混水室6と連通する。図3に示すように、前記第3吐水端532は、前記流路分配室5の底部に開設される開口である。 The tank of the present embodiment and the washing machine using the tank can perform the washing function by using other recovered water such as the remaining bath water sucked by the water suction pump, compared with a general washing machine. is the biggest advantage. Therefore, in the channel distribution chamber 5 of this embodiment, there is provided a third channel that guides the water in the water suction pump 2 to flow into the tank 1 and communicates with the drain port of the water suction pump 2. 53 are further provided. In addition, the channel distribution chamber 5 has a third water supply end 531 and a third water discharge end 532 communicating with the third channel 53 respectively. The third water supply end 531 communicates with the water outlet of the water suction pump, and the third water discharge end 532 of the third channel 53 communicates with the water mixing chamber 6 . As shown in FIG. 3 , the third water discharge end 532 is an opening formed at the bottom of the flow path distribution chamber 5 .

本実施例において、第1吐水端512の断面は前記第3給水端531の断面よりも小さくなっている。これは、呼び水のための水量は多くはないが、吸水ポンプの運転開始後には排水口における水量が大きくなるからであり、実際に必要な水量に合わせて双方の断面を異ならせている。これにより、水管の材料が節約される。 In this embodiment, the cross section of the first water discharge end 512 is smaller than the cross section of the third water supply end 531 . This is because although the amount of water for priming is not large, the amount of water at the drain port increases after the water suction pump starts operating. This saves water tube material.

本実施例における前記第1吐水端512は、前記吸水ポンプ2のポンプ室と連通する水管である。前記流路分配室5の側壁には開口a7が設けられており、第1吐水端512が開口a7に接続される。前記第3給水端531は、前記吸水ポンプの排水口と連通する水管である。前記流路分配室5の側壁には開口b8が設けられており、第3給水端531が開口b8に接続される。前記開口a7と開口b8は、前記流路分配室5における吸水ポンプ側寄りの同一の側壁に位置している。第3流路の役割は、別の水源からの水を吸水ポンプを通じて洗浄槽に案内するプロセスを実現することである。 The first water discharge end 512 in this embodiment is a water pipe that communicates with the pump chamber of the water suction pump 2 . An opening a7 is provided in the side wall of the flow path distribution chamber 5, and the first water discharge end 512 is connected to the opening a7. The third water supply end 531 is a water pipe that communicates with the water outlet of the water suction pump. An opening b8 is provided in the side wall of the channel distribution chamber 5, and the third water supply end 531 is connected to the opening b8. The opening a7 and the opening b8 are located on the same side wall of the flow path distribution chamber 5 on the side of the water suction pump. The role of the third flow path is to implement the process of guiding water from another water source through the suction pump to the wash basin.

図1~図4に示すように、本実施例は実施例1の補足である。本実施例において、前記第2給水経路は更に分岐給水経路を含む。即ち、図中の第1吸水分岐路3と第2吸水分岐路4を含む。前記第1吸水分岐路3は、前記タンク1を通じて前記吸水ポンプ2のポンプ室及び洗濯機の洗浄槽とそれぞれ連通する。また、前記第2吸水分岐路4は、タンク1を通じて洗濯機の洗浄槽と連通する。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, this embodiment is a supplement to the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the second water supply path further includes a branch water supply path. That is, it includes the first branched water absorption passage 3 and the second branched water absorption passage 4 in the figure. The first water suction branch 3 communicates with the pump chamber of the water suction pump 2 and the washing tub of the washing machine through the tank 1 . Also, the second water absorption branch 4 communicates with the washing tub of the washing machine through the tank 1 .

前記流路分配室5内には、更に、前記第2吸水分岐路4からの水流をタンク1に流入させるよう案内する第4流路54が設けられている。また、前記流路分配室5は、第4流路54とそれぞれ連通する第4給水端541と第4吐水端542を有する。第4流路54は添加剤室12と連通している。前記第4吐水端542は、前記流路分配室5の底部における2つの丸孔であり、前記混水室6と連通して洗浄槽に添加剤を投入するために用いられる。図示するように、本実施例の添加剤は柔軟剤である。前記柔軟剤は、洗濯の最後のすすぎ中に前記洗浄槽に流し込むことで投入される。 A fourth flow path 54 is further provided in the flow distribution chamber 5 to guide the water flow from the second water absorption branch 4 to flow into the tank 1 . Further, the channel distribution chamber 5 has a fourth water supply end 541 and a fourth water discharge end 542 communicating with the fourth channel 54 respectively. The fourth channel 54 communicates with the additive chamber 12 . The fourth water discharge ends 542 are two round holes in the bottom of the flow distribution chamber 5, which communicate with the water mixing chamber 6 and are used to feed additives into the washing tank. As shown, the additive in this example is a softener. The softener is dosed by pouring it into the wash tub during the final rinse of the wash.

柔軟剤の投入に必要な水量は洗浄用の水よりも遥かに少ない。よって、前記第1吸水分岐路3と第2吸水分岐路4は異なる給水口を有しており、前記第1吸水分岐路3の給水量が前記第2吸水分岐路4の給水量よりも大きくなっている。即ち、前記第1吸水分岐路3の給水口の断面は前記第2吸水分岐路4の給水口の断面よりも大きく、前記第4給水端541の断面は前記第1給水端511の断面よりも小さい。 The amount of water required for dosing the softener is much less than for washing. Therefore, the first branched water absorption passage 3 and the second branched water absorption passage 4 have different water supply ports, and the water supply amount of the first water absorption branched passage 3 is larger than the water supply amount of the second water absorption branched passage 4. It's becoming That is, the cross section of the water supply port of the first branched water absorption passage 3 is larger than the cross section of the water supply port of the second water absorption branched passage 4, and the cross section of the fourth water supply end 541 is larger than the cross section of the first water supply end 511. small.

更に、給水装置は給水弁9を含む。前記給水弁9は、前記第1吸水分岐路3と第2吸水分岐路4の給水口と連通し、前記第1吸水分岐路3と第2吸水分岐路4からの給水を制御するために用いられる。 Furthermore, the water supply system includes a water supply valve 9 . The water supply valve 9 communicates with the water supply ports of the first branched water absorption passage 3 and the second branched water absorption passage 4, and is used to control water supply from the first branched water absorption passage 3 and the second branched water absorption passage 4. be done.
