Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a finishing agent, etc. for a dehydrating rinsing device that supplies water to a rotatable dehydrating tank and performs so-called spin rinsing.
This device is related to a human device, and allows users to add softener, rinse agent, etc. without having to perform troublesome operations.

In conventional two-tank washing machines, if rinsing is performed on the spin-drying tank side, it is necessary to supply water to the spin-dry tub. The water supply to this dehydration tank is usually from a water faucet,
A method was adopted in which a water supply port or an electromagnetic water supply valve provided on the main body of the washing machine was connected, and the outlet side of the water supply port or electromagnetic water supply valve was connected to a dewatering tank via a hose or the like.

Conventionally, when rinsing was performed on the washing tub side, a fabric softener or rinse agent was put into the washing tub filled with water during the final rinse.

However, in dehydration rinsing equipment that performs rinsing in a dehydration tank, it is rare to store water in the dehydration receiver, and it is preferable to perform an automatic cycle operation that sequentially repeats water supply, dehydration tank rotation, stop, water supply, etc. It's normal. For this reason, when using a fabric softener, feed the fabric softener into the dehydration tank just before water is added during the final rinse cycle of the spin cycle, and then add water to apply the fabric softener to the clothes. The conventional methods include allowing the fabric to penetrate almost evenly, or returning the clothes that have been rinsed in the dehydration tank to the washing tub and using a fabric softener in the washing tub as in the past. Of these methods, the former requires you to watch during the automatic cycle, or open the dehydration lid again after the automatic cycle is complete and put the fabric softener into the dehydration tank, which is inconvenient in actual use. It was something. i1. In the latter case, they were forced to move their clothes, which was extremely inconvenient.

The present invention provides a configuration in which there is no need to open the dehydration lid when adding the fabric softener, and there is no need to return the clothes to the washing tub. This will naturally merge into the water and ensure that it flows into the dehydration tank.

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

In the figure, 1 is the main body of the washing machine, 2 is an operation box placed behind the -J= section of the main body 1, and 3 is a resin tank provided inside the main body 1. A washing tub 6 with a pulsator 4 arranged at the bottom. and a dehydration receiver 6 integrated therewith.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a dehydration tank rotatably arranged in the dehydration receiver 6, which has a large number of dehydration holes 8 on the peripheral wall, and the bottom of which is connected to a dehydration motor 9.
161 is connected to the rotating shaft 10. 11 is a drainage hole provided at the bottom of the dehydration receiver 6, which is connected to a drainage hose 12;
This drain hose 12F; l: Drain hose on the washing tub 6 side (
(not shown) and an external drainage hose (not shown).

Reference numeral 13 denotes a timer for controlling the dewatering side provided on the front of the operation box 2, which controls the process of supplying water into the dehydration tank 7, the process of rotating the dehydration motor 9 to perform dehydration after this water supply, and the process of predetermining this dehydration process. Time-stopping process (hereinafter referred to as ``water supply TI'')
++Dehydration II, I+Stop Pa) is controlled. , and the number of repetitions can also be controlled.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a dehydration cap detachably placed on the upper opening of the dehydration tank 7 to prevent clothes from flying out.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a two-way electromagnetic water supply valve fixed in the operation box 2, and both inlets are connected to a water tap (not shown) via a hose 16, while the outlet of 15a is connected to a water supply hose 17. In addition, the outlet of the other side 16b of the electromagnetic water supply valve 15 communicates with the inside of the washing tub 6 through the water injection hose 18. Approximately water shield 1 of approximately inverted T-shaped three-pronged tube 19, flat inlet tube 19a, outlet tube 19b, water injection nozzle 2
It is possible to inject water into the dehydration tank γ through 0.

Reference numeral 19C denotes an inlet pipe located approximately in the vertical direction of the trifurcated pipe 19, and is a connection that maintains an inclination angle of 0 so that negative pressure is generated inside the inlet pipe 19c when water flows through the inlet pipe 19a and the outlet pipe 19b. Alternatively, a partition wall 19d is provided so that a negative pressure is generated in the inlet pipe 19C, and a connected state is established that exhibits an aspirator effect.

21 is a pipe-shaped part 21 connected to the inlet pipe 19c at the lower part.
The approximately funnel-shaped receptacle with a is a plate, and is connected to the approximately concave slot 22 formed in the operation panel 2a on the front surface of the operation box 2. The bone tray 21 is separate and separate from the inlet 22.

In the above configuration, clothes can be washed on the washing tub 5 side by rotating the pulsator 4.

Next, when transferring the washed clothes to the dehydration tank 7 and performing dehydration rinsing, the timer 13 is operated to control the other side 16b of the electromagnetic water supply valve 15 and the dehydration motor 9, and the above-mentioned "water supply" is performed. Repeat the cycle of ``, ``dehydration,''``stop,'' as many times as necessary. Then, before executing the final cycle, that is, before ``water supply'', perform the steps 6 and -2 to finish the inlet 22 of the operation panel 2a. Inject agent a. This finishing agent a flows into the tray 21 and further into the inlet pipe 19c of the three-pronged pipe 19. After this, the final cycle of "water supply" begins, and it flows into the three-pronged pipe via the water injection hose 18. The water that has entered the pipe 19 acts to suction the finishing agent a in the inlet pipe 19 through the aspirator effect, and as a result, the water and the finishing agent a merge and are discharged from the water injection nozzle 2°. Water is poured into the dehydration tank 7.

As mentioned above, even if the clothes are rinsed in the dehydration tank 7, after rinsing, the clothes are returned to the washing tub 5 to be impregnated with the finishing agent, or the dehydration lid is opened and the finishing agent is applied. The finishing agent can be added reliably without adding effort such as pouring it gradually.

In addition, since the input port 22 is provided on the operation panel 2a where switches and cocks are concentrated, the necessary/++ type parts can be concentrated on the operation panel 2a, making it easier to use.

In addition, by configuring the input port 22 of the operation panel 2a and the tray 21 to be separated, it is possible to compare the three-pronged tube 19 and the input port 22 with a method in which they are connected via a hose, pipe, or directly, for example. It is easy to assemble and requires no effort during repair services.

In addition, in the example, when dehydrating and rinsing is performed automatically for multiple cycles, it was explained that the finishing agent is injected into the inlet before the final cycle. Applications such as performing one cycle separately can be performed as necessary. Also, regarding the method of leaving the final cycle, stopping the program once, and restarting it after adding finishing agent,
This is possible due to the electrical circuit configuration.

In this example, we have explained the case where the water supply and dehydration rotation are performed automatically, but a water supply switching cock for the washing tank side and the dehydration tank side is placed in the water supply path from the water faucet, and the dehydration tank It is a manual dehydration rinse in which water is supplied by switching the water supply to the side, then a dehydration timer is activated, the dehydration tank is rotated for a certain period of time, and then water is supplied again after a certain period of stoppage. Also, it is possible to obtain the same effect as that of this embodiment.

Even if the dewatering tank is rotated intermittently and water is continuously supplied, the same effect as that of this embodiment can be obtained.As described above, according to the present invention, the three-pronged By connecting the input port for finishing agents, etc., provided on the operation panel to the remaining inlet pipes other than the inlet and outlet pipes that make up the water supply route of the pipes, finishing can be done without any hassle and at the required time. It is possible to inject chemicals etc. into the dehydration tank.
