Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a washing machine having an improved circulating active water machine and a washing machine using the same,

The present invention relates to a washing machine equipped with an improved circulating active water machine. More particularly, the present invention relates to a washing machine having an improved circulating active water machine capable of securing a large capacity of active capacity even by using a small-capacity active water device and circulating the active water more efficiently between the inner tank and the outer tank, To a method of operating a washing machine

In modern times, the use of water has been rapidly increased due to the rapid development of the industrial society and the improvement of living standards. However, as the amount of water used increases, more water and wastewater are generated. Especially, As a result, attention has been focused on solving environmental problems through complete purification of wastewater and wastewater.

Such a conventional water treatment apparatus for treating wastewater is known as a biological water treatment apparatus using microorganisms and a water treatment apparatus through physical and chemical treatment such as filtration, flocculation, sedimentation or adsorption.

However, although it is known that the above-mentioned technologies are capable of removing nitrogen or phosphorus to a certain extent, it is known that the removal of volatile organic compounds (volatile organic compounds) used in most industries and the complete removal of microorganisms There were many difficulties.

In general, the disinfection treatment using chlorine is generally performed in a general water treatment plant, but it is known that chlorine disinfection generates carcinogenic byproducts. In particular, the efficiency of removing volatile organic compounds from various industries is insufficient.

In addition, sterilization methods using a photocatalyst, ultraviolet (UV), and ozone in sterilization are most likely to treat structures such as a photocatalyst, ultraviolet rays, or ozone-fed tanks by simply passing the target water (wastewater or water) The efficiency was very low.

On the other hand, most of the water treatment devices known so far usually require a construction scale of at least a certain scale, which requires a considerable cost for construction or operation (maintenance) of the facility.

Even if such a biological water treatment plant or a physical and chemical water treatment apparatus is used, corrosion and scale of the water system occurring for various reasons such as pH, dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, dissolved salts, iron oxide, , It was difficult to prevent corrosion by the exhaust gas.

Therefore, the thermal efficiency of various water treatment apparatuses is lowered due to corrosion or scale trouble as described above, and smooth flow in the treatment apparatus is hindered, resulting in facility rupture and deterioration of equipment life. Of the total amount of the raw material, the hardness component suppression device, the mechanical and chemical customs, and so on.

In addition, the method of removing the hardness component in the water, that is, the cation metal component, such as the heavy water equipment, the water softener, and the ion dispersing agent, requires backwashing of the ion exchange resin in the process of removing the hardness component in the water, The methods of cleaning the scales already formed by chemical and mechanical methods are performed by oxidation of the water treatment apparatus which is generated by using the chemical cleaner (hydrochloric acid system, phosphate system) at the time of cleaning and another neutralization treatment for treating the water system, Thereby generating waste water.

In addition to the above-mentioned factory wastewater, domestic wastewater discharged from a household is also a factor in the water-based environmental pollution. In the domestic wastewater, the water quality contamination due to the detergent component used in the washing process and abandoned is very serious.

A typical washing machine removes various pollutants attached to clothing, bedding, etc. by using the emulsifying action of the detergent, the friction action of the water stream due to the rotation of the washing blade (pulsator), and the impact action of the pulsator on the laundry , The washing process and the rinsing process, a large amount of domestic wastewater is discharged. The discharged domestic wastewater together with the factory wastewater pollutes the water environment.

In order to solve such a problem, Korean Patent Registration No. 1148174 discloses that water treatment apparatus can be easily installed and used in a washing machine water supply pipe, and the activation ability and self-cleaning ability of the treated water are improved, And a water treatment device capable of performing water treatment.

1 is a sectional view of a washing machine 1 equipped with a conventional water treatment apparatus. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a water treatment apparatus 80 of a washing machine provided with a conventional water treatment apparatus. 1, a washing machine 1 equipped with a conventional water treatment device includes a water tank 10, a washing tub 20 installed in a water tank, and a water supply pipe (not shown) A drain valve 40 for draining or blocking the washing water in the washing tub 20 through a drain pipe, a pulsator 50 for mixing washing water and laundry in washing and rinsing, A controller for controlling the water supply valve 30, the drain valve 40, the drive motor, the clutch and the like in accordance with a stored program, and a controller for controlling the water supply valve 30, And a water treatment device (80) installed on a water pipe connecting the water pipe to the water pipe to increase the efficiency of the washing water and the self-purification capability.

2, the conventional water treatment apparatus 80 includes a housing 3 installed in the middle of a water supply pipe to which raw water is supplied, and a plurality of A plurality of energy balls 61 filled in the respective ball receivers 60 so as to be freely flowable and a plurality of energy balls 61 installed between the ball receivers 61 to collide with the energy balls 61 And a magnetizing means 71 provided at a minimum diameter portion of the outer diameter of the venturi pipe 70 for magnetizing the raw water passing through the inside thereof.

As shown in this prior art, the water supplied to the washing machine is activated to improve the washing performance, thereby reducing the amount of water used and sterilizing the laundry by using the sterilizing ability of the activated water. There are many methods such as magnetization treatment, vibration treatment, and high voltage treatment as the means for activating them.

As a conventional method for activating the water supplied to the washing machine, there is a method of mounting the active water machine in the washing machine or a method of mounting the active water machine in the outside. When the water is installed in the washing machine, There is a disadvantage in that the activation capability is not sufficient, and when it is installed outside, the size can be increased, but there are various inconveniences because it takes up a lot of space.

Therefore, in order to maximize the activation capability, a small active water machine is used so that it can be installed in the washing machine, but there is a circulating active water machine which can continuously circulate the water in the water reservoir repeatedly in the active water machine during the washing process And a method for operating the washing machine.
