또한 본 발명은 급수장치(20)와 인접하는 본체케이스(10)의 상부에 설치되는 것으로, 물의 전기분해를 통해 살균수를 제조한 후, 이 살균수를 세탁조(12) 내부로 공급하여 세탁물을 살균하는 살균수 공급장치(30)를 구비한다.In addition, the present invention is installed on the upper portion of the main body case 10 adjacent to the water supply device 20, after producing the sterilized water through the electrolysis of water, and supplying the sterilized water into the washing tank 12 to wash the laundry. A sterilization water supply device 30 for sterilization is provided.

살균수 공급장치(30)는 도 2와 도 3에 도시된 바와 같이, 급수밸브(22)로부터 공급되는 물이 그 내부로 유입되는 입구(32)와 내부의 물이 세탁조(12) 쪽으로 배출되는 출구(33)가 형성되며 상부가 개방된 저장용기(31)를 구비한다. 이때 입구(32)는 입구배관(34)을 통해 급수밸브(22)와 연결되고, 출구(33)에는 세탁조(12)의 상부 쪽으로 연장되는 출구배관(35)이 연결된다. 또 입구배관(34)의 중도에는 저장용기(31)로의 물 공급을 제어할 수 있도록 입구배관(34)을 개폐하는 입구밸브(36)가 설치된다.As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the sterilizing water supply device 30 has an inlet 32 through which the water supplied from the water supply valve 22 flows into the inside thereof, and the water therein is discharged toward the washing tank 12. An outlet 33 is formed and has a storage container 31 which is open at the top. At this time, the inlet 32 is connected to the water supply valve 22 through the inlet pipe 34, the outlet 33 is connected to the outlet pipe 35 extending toward the upper portion of the washing tank 12. In the middle of the inlet pipe 34, an inlet valve 36 is provided to open and close the inlet pipe 34 so as to control the water supply to the storage container 31.

또 저장용기(31)의 내부에는 저장용기(31)의 내부공간을 하부로부터 소정의 높이까지 구획하는 두 개의 칸막이(38,39)가 설치된다. 이때 제1칸막이(38)는 입구(32)와 인접하는 위치에 소정의 높이를 갖도록 설치되고, 제2칸막이(39)는 출구(33)와 인접하는 위치에 역시 소정의 높이를 갖도록 설치되어 제1칸막이(38)와 제2칸막이(39)의 사이에 늘 적정량의 물이 담수될 수 있게 한다. 여기서 저장용기(31)의 내부는 저장용기(31)의 입구(32) 측 내벽과 제1칸막이(38) 사이를 제1공간(41)이라 하고, 제1칸막이(38)와 제2칸막이(39) 사이를 제2공간(42)이라 하며, 제2칸막이(39)와 저장용기(31)의 출구(33) 측 내벽 사이를 제3공간(43)이라 한다.In addition, two partitions 38 and 39 are provided inside the storage container 31 to divide the internal space of the storage container 31 from a lower portion to a predetermined height. In this case, the first partition 38 is installed to have a predetermined height at a position adjacent to the inlet 32, and the second partition 39 is installed to have a predetermined height at a position adjacent to the outlet 33. An appropriate amount of water is always allowed between the first partition 38 and the second partition 39. Here, the inside of the storage container 31 is called the first space 41 between the inner wall of the inlet 32 side of the storage container 31 and the first partition 38, and the first partition 38 and the second partition ( The second space 42 is referred to as a second space 42, and the third space 43 is referred to as a space between the second partition 39 and the inner wall of the outlet 33 side of the storage container 31.

이러한 구성은 입구(32)로부터 소정의 수압으로 토출되는 물이 제1공간(41)의 내부로 유입되면서 유속이 완화되고 흐름이 안정화되는 정류효과를 얻을 수 있도록 한 것이고, 제1공간(41)의 물이 제1칸막이(38)를 넘어 제2공간(42)으로 흐르도록 한 것이다. 또한 제2공간(42)으로 유입되는 물이 제2칸막이(39)를 넘어 제3공간(43)으로 흐르도록 함으로써 제2공간(42)에 적정량의 물이 담수되면서 일정한 유속을 가진 상태로 제3공간(43) 쪽으로 흐를 수 있도록 한 것이다. 그리고 제2칸막이(39)를 넘어 제3공간(43)으로 유입되는 물이 출구(33)를 통해 세탁조(12)로 공급되도록 한 것이다. 이때 제2공간(42)의 수위는 제2칸막이(39)의 높이에 의해 결정된다.This configuration is such that the water discharged from the inlet 32 at a predetermined water pressure flows into the first space 41 to obtain a rectifying effect to relax the flow velocity and stabilize the flow, and the first space 41. The water is to flow over the first partition 38 to the second space (42). In addition, the water flowing into the second space 42 flows into the third space 43 beyond the second partition 39, so that the appropriate amount of water is fresh in the second space 42, so that the water has a constant flow rate. It is to flow toward the three space (43). The water flowing into the third space 43 beyond the second partition 39 is supplied to the washing tank 12 through the outlet 33. At this time, the water level of the second space 42 is determined by the height of the second partition 39.

또한 제1칸막이(38)와 제2칸막이(39)의 하부에는 도 3에 도시한 바와 같이, 저장용기(31) 내부로의 급수가 종료될 때 내부의 물이 출구(33) 쪽으로 완전히 배수될 수 있도록 저장용기(31)의 바닥판과의 사이에 잔수배출공(38a,39a)이 형성된다. 이때 잔수배출공(38a,39a)의 단면적은 입구(32)의 단면적보다 작도록 하여, 제1공간(41)과 제2공간(42)에 물이 채워질 수 있도록 한다. 이는 잔수배출공(38a,39a)을 통해 물이 흐르더라도 이물의 양이 입구(32)로부터 공급되는 물의 양보다 적도록 하여 제1공간(41)과 제2공간(42)의 담수가 이루어지도록 한 것이다.In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, when the water supply to the inside of the storage container 31 is finished, the water inside the first partition 38 and the second partition 39 is completely drained toward the outlet 33. Residual water discharge holes (38a, 39a) are formed between the bottom plate of the storage container 31 to be able to. At this time, the cross-sectional areas of the residual water discharge holes 38a and 39a are smaller than the cross-sectional areas of the inlet 32 so that water can be filled in the first space 41 and the second space 42. This is so that even if water flows through the remaining water discharge holes 38a and 39a, the amount of foreign matter is less than the amount of water supplied from the inlet 32 so that fresh water of the first space 41 and the second space 42 is made. It is.

또한 저장용기(31)에는 입구(32)로부터 공급되는 물이 적정량 이상일 때 방류가 이루어질 수 있도록 제1칸막이(38)와 제2칸막이(39)의 상단보다 높은 위치에 방류구(45)가 형성되며, 이 방류구(45)에는 방류배관(46)이 연결된다. 그리고 방류배관(46)의 출구는 도 1에 도시한 바와 같이, 세탁기의 배수관(25a)과 연결된다.In addition, the discharge port 45 is formed in the storage container 31 at a position higher than the upper end of the first partition 38 and the second partition 39 so that the discharge can occur when the water supplied from the inlet 32 is more than an appropriate amount. The outlet 45 is connected to a discharge pipe 46. And the outlet of the discharge pipe 46 is connected to the drain pipe 25a of the washing machine, as shown in FIG.

또 저장용기(31)의 개방된 상부에는 저장용기(31)를 덮는 커버(50)가 설치되며, 이 커버(50)에는 저장용기(31)의 제2공간(42) 내부로 진입하여 제2공간(42)의 물에 침수되는 두개의 은판(61,62)이 상호 이격된 상태로 설치된다. 그리고 각 은판(61,62)의 상단에는 서로 다른 극의 직류전원이 공급되도록 전원이 연결된다. 도면에서 부호 51과 52는 두 은판(61,62)의 고정을 위해 커버(50)에 형성된 은판결합공이다. 이러한 구성은 저장용기(31)의 제2공간(42)에 침수된 두 은판(61,62)에 각각 양극(+)과 음극(-)의 직류전원을 인가함으로써, 두 은판(61,62)과 물이 반응하는 전기분해를 통해 멸균성을 갖는 은용액 살균수를 제조할 수 있도록 한 것이다.In addition, a cover 50 covering the storage container 31 is installed at an open upper portion of the storage container 31, and the cover 50 enters the second space 42 of the storage container 31 to enter the second space. Two silver plates 61 and 62 submerged in the water of the space 42 are installed to be spaced apart from each other. The power is connected to the upper ends of the silver plates 61 and 62 so that DC power of different poles is supplied. In the drawings, reference numerals 51 and 52 denote silver plate coupling holes formed in the cover 50 for fixing the two silver plates 61 and 62. This configuration is applied to the two silver plates (61, 62) by applying the DC power of the positive (+) and the negative (-) respectively to the two silver plates (61, 62) submerged in the second space 42 of the storage container (31), It is to be able to prepare a silver solution sterilized water having a sterilization through the electrolysis reaction of water and water.

다음은 이와 같이 구성된 본 발명에 따른 세탁기의 동작을 설명한다.Next will be described the operation of the washing machine according to the present invention configured as described above.

In this process, silver solution sterilization water is produced through electrolysis of two silver plates 61 and 62 and water, and the prepared sterilization water is washed through an outlet 33. Supplied to (12). This sterilization water production operation is continued during the water supply.

또한 살균수를 제조하는 과정에서 입구(32)로 공급되는 물이 많을 경우에는 저장용기(31) 내부의 물이 방류배관(46)을 통해 배수관(25a) 쪽으로 흐르기 때문에 저장용기(31)의 내부를 적정수위로 유지할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 항상 일정한 농도의 은용액 살균수를 제조할 수 있게 된다. 또 살균수 제조동작이 종료될 때는 입구밸브(36)가 닫혀 저장용기(31)로의 물 공급이 중단됨과 동시에 두 은판(61,62)으로의 전원인가도 중단된다. 이때 내부에 잔존하는 물은 두 칸막이(38,39) 하부의 잔수배출공(38a,39a)을 통해 출구(33) 쪽으로 흘러서 완전히 배출된다.In addition, when a large amount of water is supplied to the inlet 32 during the manufacture of the sterilizing water, since the water inside the storage container 31 flows toward the drain pipe 25a through the discharge pipe 46, the inside of the storage container 31. It can be maintained at the proper level, through which it is possible to always produce a constant concentration of silver solution sterilized water. In addition, when the sterilizing water production operation is completed, the inlet valve 36 is closed to stop the water supply to the storage container 31 and at the same time to supply power to the two silver plates 61 and 62. At this time, the remaining water flows toward the outlet 33 through the remaining water discharge holes 38a and 39a under the two partitions 38 and 39 and is completely discharged.

수조(11)에 살균수를 포함하는 세탁수가 채워진 후에는 펄세이터(13)가 회전하면서 세탁물의 세탁이 이루어지고, 세탁이 이루어지는 과정에서 세균들이 살균수를 통해 멸균된다.After the wash water including sterilizing water is filled in the water tank 11, the pulsator 13 rotates to wash the laundry, and in the process of washing, germs are sterilized through the sterilizing water.

이상에서 상세히 설명한 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 살균수 공급장치를 갖춘 세탁기는 급수동작과 아울러 은용액 살균수를 제조하여 세탁조 내부에 공급하기 때문에 세탁과정에서 세탁물에 잔류하는 세균을 멸균시킬 수 있는 효과가 있다.As described in detail above, the washing machine equipped with the sterilizing water supply device according to the present invention has the effect of sterilizing the bacteria remaining in the laundry during the washing process, because the silver solution sterilization water is produced and supplied into the washing tank together with the water supply operation.
