Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a laundry water injection device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a washing water injection unit. A heat source unit 2 for supplying hot water and remaining hot water to the washing water injection unit 1 includes a hot water pipe 10 for feeding hot water, a water pouring follow-up pipe 11, and a bidirectional communication circuit 6. It is connected. Reference numeral 4 denotes a washing machine, and a washing water injection pipe 13 for receiving washing water from the washing water injection unit.
And a bidirectional communication circuit 8. Reference numeral 3 denotes a bath tub, which is connected by a return purging pipe 14 through which hot water circulates when the hot water is rushed to the heat source unit 2, and a hot water tubing 12 from which the hot water from the heat source unit 2 is sent through the washing water injection unit 1 at the time of the purging. Are connected from the washing water injection unit 1. Further, a water pipe 9 is connected to the laundry water injection unit 1, a laundry water injection remote controller 5 is connected to the laundry water injection unit 1, and a heat source device remote controller 7 is connected to the heat source device 2.

The communication of the washing water supply remote controller 5, the communication of the heat source unit remote controller 7, the two-way communication circuit 6 and the two-way communication circuit 8 can be wired or wireless.

Next, the operation and operation will be described. The user selects the washing mode with the washing machine 4 and turns on the operation switch, and then selects the washing and rinsing mode with the remote controller 5, for example, the washing and the first rinsing are the second rinsing with the remaining hot water. Then, the operation switch is turned on as hot water, and then the temperature of the hot water is set by the heat source device remote controller 7 and the operation switch is turned on. Here, the washing machine 4 sends a washing water injection signal from the communication circuit 8 to the washing water injection unit 1, and the washing water injection unit 1 connects the water pouring follow-up pipe 11 to the laundry water injection pipe 13, and sends the remaining hot water transfer signal to the heat source unit 2. The heat source unit 2 sends the remaining hot water in the bath tub from the return chase circuit 14 to the washing / pour line 11 through the communication line 6 to the washing machine 1.
And the remaining hot water is poured into the washing machine 4. When the washing machine 4 enters the washing mode and the washing water injection is no longer required, the washing water injection signal is stopped, and the washing water injection unit 1 connects the water injection follow-up pipe 11 to the outgoing follow-up pipe 12 to stop the signal for conveying the remaining hot water. 2 stops the transfer of the remaining hot water. The first rinsing works in the same way as the washing. In the second rinsing, when a signal for the second rinsing comes from the washing machine 4, the washing water supply unit 1 connects the hot water pipe 10 to the washing water injection pipe 13, and outputs a hot water supply operation signal to the heat source unit 2 at the rinse water temperature setting. The heat source unit 2 starts a hot water supply operation at a preset rinse water temperature setting. Thus, the hot water of the heat source unit 2 is poured into the washing machine 4. When the rinsing and pouring are completed, the washing machine 4 stops the rinsing signal, the washing and pouring unit 1 disconnects the hot water pipe 10 and stops water supply, stops the hot water supply operation of the heat source unit 2, and stops the hot water supply operation of the heat source unit 2. I do.

By the above-described operation, the desired water, hot water and remaining hot water can be injected into the washing desired by the user.

(Embodiment 2) FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of a washing water injection device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

The differences from the first embodiment will be described. Here, a case where the operation system is integrated on the operation panel 15 of the washing machine 4 is shown. The remote control for washing water injection and the remote control for heat source unit, which are not normally operated by the user, are omitted.

Next, the operation and operation will be described. When the user selects the washing mode on the operation panel 15 of the washing machine 4 and also selects the washing and rinsing modes of the washing and watering unit 1 and turns on the operation switch, the washing and watering unit is added through the communication circuit 8 to the first embodiment. The same operation as that of the first embodiment is realized by transmitting the data for selecting the washing and rinsing modes of 1 and the signals for starting and stopping the washing water supply unit 1 and the heat source unit 2 and realizing the operation system remote controller. In the example, it can be collected on the operation panel 15 of the washing machine 4.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, the washing machine determines whether to supply water for washing or water for rinsing, and the washing water supply unit supplies water, hot water, and remaining hot water selectively. Thus, it is possible to realize washing with less waste by finer washing and use of remaining hot water.

Also, the user can set the washing machine and set the washing water injection unit and the heat source machine at the operation section of the washing machine, which has an effect that the user can more easily perform the washing operation. .
