Next, a description will be given based on the process block diagram of FIG. The block diagram of Fig. 4 shows the general standard automatic course shown in Fig. 3 with a pause before washing and drainage,
It has a dehydration process (including water supply). In other words, this fully-automatic course, which is a course in which rinsing is eliminated during the washing process, and this standard course are combined into a fully-automatic course as a separate washing course. The method of utilizing the separate washing course will be described in more detail. The laundry clothes include work clothes and pants that are heavily soiled, and underwear that is relatively lightly soiled. Conventionally, these clothes have been separately classified and washed in a standard fully automatic course shown in FIG. However, by separately classifying and washing, it took a lot of time to wash and was inefficient in terms of consumption of electricity bills, etc., so it had two washing functions in one fully automatic course as shown in Fig. 4. A fully automatic course has been developed, and it functions as a separate washing course (from now on, two washing functions will be explained separately for pre-washing and main washing).

The application example of the separate washing course function shown in FIG. 4 is as follows. First, put dirty clothes into the washing tub 6 and press the start 39 to supply water in the order of water supply according to the clothes with the water supply PS1. Water is supplied according to
Wash at 2. The washing of the prewash PS2 is to remove the terrible dirt adhering to the clothes, and the washing water flow at this time is generally controlled by washing with a stronger water flow than the water flow at the main course S2 of the standard course. It has been adopted as a method. After the pre-wash PS2 is completed, the process automatically shifts to the drainage PS3 process, and when the drainage PS3 is completed, the dehydration PS4 process is automatically performed. When the dehydration PS4 is completed, the process enters the pause PS6 step, but at this time, the clothes are wrinkled due to the centrifugal force of the dehydration PS4, and the pause PS6 remains in the wrinkled state.
If there is no command from the start / stop 39 by an external operation, the resting state is continued, and the clothes are left dehydrated and wrinkled, so In order to prevent such a situation that the wrinkles generated during the dehydration become more intense wrinkles by naturally drying from the surface of the water, after the dehydration PS4 is completed, the water supply PS5 is performed in the washing tub 6 in accordance with the water supply process. This effect is that water is supplied to the supplied water by the capillary phenomenon of the fibers, and the clothes are always in a wet state, so that the wrinkles at the time of dehydration can be weakened.

Next, by putting on lightly soiled underwear and operating the start / stop switch 39, the standard full-automatic course described in FIG. 3 is entered, and the clothes are washed together with the clothes washed previously. Since it can be washed in the same way, it has been adopted as a fully automatic course in which clothes with different stains can be washed in a short time in one fully automatic course. The features and methods of utilizing the fully automatic separate washing course in the prior art are shown in Fig. 3, above.
Although the description has been given with reference to FIG. 4, the fully automatic course of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the garment pasting course of the present invention. This course, if you select the fully automatic gluing course with the program selection key 38 of FIG. 2 described above,
Although it has the function of the block process shown in FIG.
This gluing course FIG. 5 shows that by selecting the gluing course, the microcomputer 30 automatically supplies water PS5 of the separate washing course and water S5 of the standard course, rinsing S6, drainage S7, dehydration S8, Water supply S9, rinse S10,
The course in which the drainage S11 and the final dehydration S12 are deleted is set. That is, based on the block diagram shown in FIG. 4, when the sizing course is selected, the microcomputer 30 judges the condition, and the course shown in FIG. An example of utilizing the sizing course automatically set by the microcomputer 30 will be sequentially described based on the block diagram of FIG.
Dirty clothes are washed by the standard fully automatic course shown in FIG. 3, after the final dehydration S12, take out the clothes from the washing tub 6, select the clothes to be glued, and put them in the washing tub 6 again. When the program selection switch 38 shown in FIG. 2 is pressed to set the gluing course and the start / stop switch 39 is pressed, the gluing course shown in FIG. 5 is automatically set and the water supply PS1 is started. In the same manner as the water supply PS1, a synthetic glue or the like necessary for gluing clothes is put in, and when the water level reaches a specified level, it is agitated in the step of pre-washing PS2 to paste the clothes. When this prewash PS2 is completed, drainage PS3 and dehydration PS4 are performed. What is different from FIG. 4 in this course is that water is not supplied after the dehydration PS4 is completed, and the clothes are taken out from the washing tub 6 and dried (natural drying may be performed) while the dehydration PS4 is completed and stopped. . Since the washing machine continues to be in the resting PS 6 state during this time, take out the glued clothes from the washing tub 6,
After that, by pressing the start / stop switch 39 shown in FIG. 2, the water supply S1 for the next tank cleaning is started. After supplying water up to one step more than the amount of water, the process proceeds to the main washing S2 step. In this step, synthetic glue or the like is put into the washing tub 6 for the purpose of gluing, so that the synthetic glue is attached to the inner walls of the washing tub 6 and the outer tub 3, and is utilized as a cleaning course for removal. After the main washing S2, the drainage S3 and the dehydration S4 are finished. In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 5, after the clothes are glued, a pause is made and a start / stop key or the like from the outside is pressed to shift to a bath cleaning course. As described in the course of S2, drainage S3, and dehydration S4, the tank cleaning course is not limited to that shown in FIG.
1, the same effect can be obtained even if the final dehydration S12 is automatically set.

In the case where the fully automatic separate washing course is set as described above, if the gluing course is set by the program selection switch 38, the separate washing course shown in FIG. It was changed to a fully automatic gluing course. That is, according to the present invention, the gluing of clothes and the washing of the washing tub 6 can be performed in one fully automatic course, and the gluing and washing of the washing tub 6 by the complicated key operation as in the prior art can be avoided. It is something.

[0024]

The effect of the present invention is one fully automatic course in which the course for gluing clothes and washing the washing tub 6 is automatically set. That is, by using the program selection switch, the clothes that need to be glued after washing are put into the washing tub 6 again and the glueing course is set, whereby the stirring blade 8 stirs the synthetic glue and the clothes and the glue is put on the clothes. Finishing after attaching and dehydrating, taking out the clothes from the washing tub, this time the washing tub can be automatically washed by simply pressing the start / stop switch 39, so a complicated key operation to wash the tub is complicated. Key operations can be avoided. Further, the automatically set washing of the washing tub 6 is completed by washing, draining and dehydrating the standard course, so that the washing time of the tub can be shortened.
