Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit each operation time for all the processes and for each process to be known and correctly grasp the operation state by constituting an automatic washing machine so as to execute the time information for each operation process, as for a fully automatic washing machine which is constituted so as to carry out the operation time display for all the processes. CONSTITUTION:When operation is started by pushing a start button 7, a time display part 4 displays the operation time for all the processes, and the operation time reduces through the lapse of time, and is displayed as the left time. In this case, ail the display part 5 is not put ON at all, and it is confirmed that the time display in the time display part 4 is for all the processes. When an operating button 2a is pressed, the display part 5 which shows washing is put ON, and the left time for the washing process is displayed in the display part 4, and when the operating button 2a is pushed successively furthermore, the left time display for rinsing and water spinning processes is executed, and when the operating button 2a is pressed furthermore, the display for the left time for all the processes is restored. Accordingly, the left time display for each process is repeated in succession by repetitively pressing the operating button 2a.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for informing the progress of operation in a fully automatic washing machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A fully automatic washing machine for displaying an operating time is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-46993. In this fully automatic washing machine, when the start button is pressed, the operation content and operation time are appropriately set according to conditions such as the quantity and quality of the laundry, and the operation time is displayed during the entire process. Then, when the operation starts, the remaining operation time in the entire process can be displayed with the lapse of time.

[0003]

Therefore, the conventional product has a problem that the remaining operating time in the entire process can be known over time, but the progress of washing, rinsing and dehydration cannot be known.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to enable a fully automatic washing machine to grasp not only the remaining operation time of all strokes but also the progress status of each operation stroke. .

[0005]

According to the present invention, in a fully automatic washing machine configured to display the operating time of the entire process on the display unit, the time of each operating process is notified by operating the operating unit. Configured to.

[0006]

According to the present invention, both the operating time of the entire stroke and the operating time of each stroke can be known.

[0007]

1 is a perspective view showing the overall construction of a fully automatic washing machine, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of a control plate portion.

A control plate section 1 is provided on the front upper surface of the fully automatic washing machine, a time display section 4 (display section) made of liquid crystal is provided on one side of the control plate section 1, and a washing, A lighting display unit 5 is provided for lighting and displaying rinsing and dehydration by an LED. Also,
Various operation buttons 2 are provided along the lower portion, and a content display button 2a (operation unit) for switching the display is provided therein. Each of the 6 LED lights the water level and the washing content
The display portion is lit up by, and a start / stop operation button 7 is provided on the other side.

FIG. 3 is a simplified block diagram showing a circuit configuration of the fully automatic washing machine, in which a control section 10 constituted by a microcomputer is provided with the operation buttons 2, 2a, 7 and display sections 4, 5, 6 ,. Furthermore, load 1 such as motors and valves
2. Various sensors 13 are connected.

Next, the display operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4 and the display explanatory diagram of FIG.

When the start button is pressed to start the operation, as shown in FIG. 5A, the operation time of the entire process is displayed on the time display section 4, and the operation time is reduced with the lapse of time to reduce the remaining time. Is displayed as (step 1). In this case, the display unit 5 does not light up at all, so that it can be recognized that the time display on the time display unit 4 is for the entire stroke. Then, when the operation button 2a is pressed (step 2), B in FIG.
As shown in, while the display unit 5 indicating the washing is lit, the remaining time of the washing process is displayed on the display unit 4 (step 4), and further, the operation buttons 2a are sequentially pressed,
As shown in C and D of FIG. 5, the remaining time of the rinsing and dehydration process is displayed (steps 6 and 8), and the operation button 2a is further displayed.
When is pressed, the process moves to step 1 and returns to the display of A. By repeatedly pressing the operation button 2a in this way, A, B,
The display of C and D is repeated.

The above B, C, and D displays also decrease with the passage of time, and when the process is completed, the time display is "0".
Becomes

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the driving time of each stroke is displayed on the time display section 4, but it may be notified by voice using a speaker. Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the dedicated operation button 2a for switching the time display is provided, but, for example, the reservation button 2 or the like may be operated in combination. Further, the number of times of rinsing may be displayed instead of the time display.

The mounting structure of the legs in this fully automatic washing machine will be described below. Legs 2 on the underside of frame 30
As shown in FIG. 6, a large number of mounting holes 20 are provided at the positions where 1 is mounted, and the mounting screws 20 of the legs 21 shown in FIG.
2 is screwed in and the leg 21 is attached. in this way,
By selecting and mounting the mounting holes 20, the dimension L between the legs 21 can be adjusted as shown in FIG.
As a result, the washing machine can be installed in the condominium or the like where the small washing machine pan 25 is installed without any trouble. The above-mentioned mounting holes 20 have a dimension between those located closest to each other in each of the adjacent corners of the washing machine, and even if the legs 21 are attached to the respective positions, the distance between them becomes too narrow and unstable. Is set to never happen.

[0015]

According to the present invention, the operating time of the entire stroke,
It is possible to know both the driving time in each stroke and to accurately grasp the driving situation.
