するのが望ましい。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it has been known that when hot water is used for washing, the detergent can be easily dissolved and the "washing" time for obtaining the same washing power can be shortened. There are many cases where a hot water tap is installed. However, it is effective to use hot water in the “washing” process, but in the “rinsing” process, a sufficient amount of water is used compared to the “washing”, and more water is used in the “rinsing” process. It is extremely uneconomical to use hot water for the process. Therefore, it is desirable to switch from hot water to water according to each process of the washing machine.

た。On the other hand, most of recent washing machines are automatic type in which "washing" is automatically switched to "rinsing", and accordingly, the hot water supply apparatus is also automatically switched from "hot water" to "water". However, since there are various types of automatic washing machines on the market and there is no commonality between them, conventionally, there has been no hot water supply device that switches according to the operation of an arbitrary automatic washing machine.

The present invention does not require any processing for such an automatic washing machine, and automatically uses hot water for "washing" and water for "rinsing" as the operation of the washing machine progresses. It is an object of the present invention to provide a hot water supply device that can be supplied with electricity.

ができるのである。The automatic washing machine controls water supply / drainage by itself according to a predetermined schedule, but does not have a terminal for outputting the state of water supply / drainage to the outside as information. There are various types of automatic washing machines, and there are also those that change the water level in the tub and the "washing" time depending on the amount of laundry. However, the first water supply time for "washing" is at most 5-6
Within minutes, while adding "wash" followed by "drain" time is at least 5-6 minutes or more. Therefore, it is possible to select in advance a certain point in time that is always after the first water supply and before the second water supply, regardless of the water level at any time depending on the washing machine and the amount of laundry. is there. Therefore, according to the present invention, by setting the time switch in advance so as to operate after a fixed time (for example, 8 minutes) from the start of operation regardless of the operating state inside the washing machine
Water is automatically supplied for "washing" and water for "rinsing". In recent automatic washing machines, the initial water supply is set to "a small amount" of, for example, about 4 minutes, the amount of laundry is once detected by "trial washing", and if necessary, further water supply is performed before "washing". There are some that were put in, but in this case the water supply stop time is as short as several tens of seconds at most, so there is almost no effect on the first water supply time, and the "wash" operation is started with "a small amount". Even if you do, the "washing" time is almost unchanged, and "drainage"
Since the time is slightly shortened, it is possible to still have a sufficient margin before and after the fixed time (for example, 8 minutes).

The hot water solenoid valve 6 is energized to supply hot water to the washing machine. When the contact part 4b of the time switch is reversed to the normally open side after a fixed time (for example, 8 minutes) from the start of operation, the hot water solenoid valve 6 is turned off and the water solenoid valve 7 is turned on. The machine is in the stage of completing the first water supply and performing "washing" or "draining". Therefore, for the second water supply starting after "draining", the water is supplied to the washing machine through the solenoid valve 7 for water. Will be supplied.

後に十分余裕を持たせることができるのである。FIG. 5 shows an operating state of a general automatic washing machine 1. In a normal washing machine operation (b), and to start the operation in to the water supply (usually 5-6 minutes) will start for the "wash", "washing" is started when the water supply at t 1 is completed ( Usually 3 to 15 minutes). After that, “drainage” is performed from t 2 (usually about 3 minutes). When the "drainage" is completed, the water supply (usually 5-6 minutes) will start for the "rinse" from t 3, "rinse" than t 4 when the water supply is completed begins. That is, after the first water supply is completed,
Before the second water supply is started, the water supply suspension period (t 1 to t) is usually 6 minutes or more for “washing” and “draining”.
3 ) There is. In addition, some recent washing machines automatically adjust the amount of water supplied depending on the amount of laundry. (B) and (c) show the operation of this type of laundry.
As shown in, first, the amount of water to be washed is first detected by performing a "trial wash" with "a small amount" of, for example, about 4 minutes, and then, if necessary, further water is supplied to "wash". to go into. This trial washing time is about several seconds to several tens seconds. When the amount of laundry is small, as shown in (c), "washing" starts immediately after, for example, four minutes of water supply.
In this case as well, the "washing" time is almost the same as that in (a), but the "draining" time is shortened by about 1 minute.
Therefore, in any case, from 6 to 7 minutes after the start of operation to 11 to 12 minutes after the start of the operation, the water supply stop period is always entered. Therefore, as shown in (d), the time switch 4 is set to 8
If it is set to 10 minutes, a sufficient margin can be provided before and after that in any case.

Since "rinse" is often sufficient with water, by switching the water heater from "hot water" to "water" before entering "rinse" as in the present invention, it is possible to shorten the washing time, save the detergent, and wash the laundry. It is possible to improve the finish. Moreover, since the hot water is automatically switched to water, it is not necessary for a person to be near the washing machine. In addition, since the time required for "washing" and "draining" is relatively long compared to the time required for "water supply" of an automatic washing machine, a special terminal for outputting information is provided on the washing machine side. The device of the present invention can be connected to any commercially available automatic washing machine.
