L 前 # 支 冬 好] Background of the Invention Referring to Fig. 6, there is shown a conventional washing machine. As shown in FIG. 6, a washing tub 3 is accommodated in the outer tub, and a pulsation of 2 can be arranged on the bottom so that it can be rotated 10 times. The suspension rod 4 is suspended from the outer frame 5 of the washing machine through a suspension rod 4. The V-belt 7 drives the pulsator 2 and the washing tub 3, and the clutch 8 also serves as a speed reduction mechanism. A water supply valve 9 is used to supply water to the washing tub 3, a drain valve 10 for discharging washing liquid from the washing tub 3; and a water level detector n for detecting the internal water level of the outer tub 1. 15 The pumps 13 to 13 are arranged close to the periphery of the inner cutting edge 12 within the pulsator 2. The washing liquid in the laundry ceremony 3 is sent from the pump chamber 13 to the cotton ball filter 15 through the water circulation passage 々. The complex το member 16 is arranged above the outer groove j. The controller 17 controls the motor 6 water, the response valve 9, the drain valve 10, etc. to successively control the washing, rinsing and dehydrating cycles. 2 In the above-mentioned washing machine, the part of the dirt removed from the clothes may form a metal soap with certain ingredients of the detergent and the metal ions of the water towel of the faucet and stick to the outer tank, for example丨, the washing tank 3 and the pulsator 2. In addition, 'After the laundry cycle is repeated, the microorganisms contained in the clothes may act on the genus I', which can cause foreign matter, such as hiding outside the washing tank 3! 243866 wall; the inner wall of the outer tank 1 and the pulsation Biofilm and black mold on the lower part of the device 2. Some of these deposits can be removed by the water flow during the laundry cycle, but contaminate the laundry. Such foreign matter can be removed by adding a bleaching ingredient as its main ingredient to the laundry detergent. When the cleaning agent is used, the water supply valve 9 and the water level detector 11 are operated to supply water to the water tank 3 as high as possible. After the heart ', a detergent is added, and the pulsator 2 is rotated to dissolve the detergent. Then, by being in water for several hours, the detergent acts on the foreign matter and removes the foreign matter. After that, the drain valve 10 is operated to drain water. Next, to wash the washing tub 3, the water should reach a predetermined water level in the washing tub 3, and the pulsator 2 is rotated to perform the washing step; then, the water is discharged. 15 20 hrs However, the sink cleaning method described above has several disadvantages. That is, a long manual method of performing soaking or sink washing operations, and then automatically performing a tank washing operation are troublesome. In addition, in the sink washing operation, only the difference = 1 can be removed. In other words, the immersion operation that is only immersed in the washing liquid of the water tank is removed in the soaking operation for one hour, and the foreign matter above the water level cannot be removed due to the increased m due to the rotation of the pulsator 2. It is impossible to drain the washing machine completely through the sink washing operation; because some parts of the cycle G can be transferred to the money machine, and the clothes are contaminated under the washing clothes. [Contents of the invention] Abstract of the invention Therefore, the purpose of the present invention to perform sink cleaning is to provide a sink cleaning method, which can be performed during the sink rinse process to effectively remove foreign objects generated in the 1243866 laundry machine. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for cleaning a washing machine having a washing tank and an outer tank is provided. The method includes the following steps: washing the washing tank with a washing liquid containing a cleaning agent, and rotatably arranged A pulsator and the inner surface of the outer tank on a bottom of the 5 washing tank; and washing the washed water tank and the pulsator, wherein the washing step includes the following steps: preparing a washing liquid containing a washing agent in the washing tank and outside In the tank; performing the soaking step of the arterial actuator before and after the fitting gap; and draining the washing liquid from the washing tank after the soaking process. 10 Brief Description of the Drawings The above and other objects of the present invention are made clearer by the description of the drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a vertical view of a washing machine performing a sink washing method according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention Cross section; 15 FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a sink cleaning method according to a first embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a sink cleaning method according to a second embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 20 is a flowchart of a sink washing process of the second embodiment; FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a sink washing method according to a third embodiment of the present invention; and FIG. 6 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a conventional washing machine. I [Square package method 3 1243866 Detailed description of the preferred embodiment The preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in conjunction with Figures 1 to 5, wherein components similar to those of the conventional washing machine in Figure 6 are labeled with similar numbers As shown in FIG. 1, for example, the controller empties the operation of the motor 6, water supply 9, drain valve 10, etc. to control one or more washing cycles. In each cycle, the rinsing and / or dehydration processes are successively or selectively controlled. The control cry also performs a sink washing process by using a sink washing liquid containing a detergent, washing the spear with 10 and subsequent sinks to clean the washing sink 3, and a pulsator 2 rotatably disposed on the bottom thereof. And the inner surface of the outer tank 1. The sink washing process is performed by supplying liquid. The sink washing solution with a certain concentration is prepared in the washing tank 3 and the outer tank 4; performing the soaking = process', the arterial actuator 2 is turned back and forth in the middle of the process; then the drainage process is performed. 15 passes' to discharge the lotion from the washing tub 3. In the immersion process, the water level is set to a water level p which is preferably higher than a highest water level that can be achieved in the laundry washing cycle; the forward and backward rotation of the pulsator 2 and the rotation stop are performed at an intersection. In addition, after soaking, the shaking process is performed, in which the washing liquid in the washing tub 3 is stirred by the pulsator 2. 20 The operation of the washing machine will be described below with reference to Figures 1 and 2. In step shot, press the -Start switch (not shown) to start the sink washing and filling liquid supply process. In step 21 ', the water is supplied to the washing tub 3 to reach a predetermined water level through the water supply valve 9 and the water level detection rhyme, and the water level is higher than the highest water level in the laundry cycle to close the drain valve 9. In step 22, detergent 9 1243866 is added. In step 23, the motor 6 rotates the arterial actuator 2 to perform back-and-forth rotation for a predetermined period of time to dissolve the detergent, and prepares a sink washing liquid having a uniform detergent concentration. Next, it enters the immersion process, which simultaneously rotates back and forth 5 pulses to 2 'motor 6 so that the pulsator 2 is rotated by the on / off control of the controller 18 in step μ. By the forward and backward rotation of the pulsator 2, the agitating power of the washing liquid in the washing tank 3 in the washing tub 3 increases, and when the pulsator 2 is opened, the middle portion of the liquid surface inside the washing tub 3 drops, and the outside, that is, The liquid level between the washing tub 3 and the outer tub 1 rises. ίο Therefore, the liquid level between the washing tank 3 and the outer tank 1 rises to a predetermined water level ρ, so that the cleaning agent can reach the relatively high water level of the outer wall of the washing tank 3 and the inner wall of the outer tank. Conversely, in the closed state, the liquid level in the washing tank 3 rises, and the liquid level between the washing tank 3 and the outer tank 丨 drops. Thereafter, in step 25, the immersion is performed for a predetermined period of time, during which the pulse 2 is not rotated back and forth to allow the sink washing liquid to sufficiently act on the foreign matter. In step 26, the operations of steps 24 and 25 are repeated a predetermined number of times, so that the waiter β > tincture can effectively reach the foreign body, and the water flow generated by the pulsator 2 rotating back and forth can remove the foreign body. 20 y Next 'During the agitation in step 27, it is rotated by the pulsator 2 before 1' The water tank washing liquid in the washing and dewatering tank 3 is sent from the pump chamber 13 through the water 4 channel 14 to the cotton ball filter 15 Therefore, the impurities in the washing liquid in the sink are collected in the cotton ball filter 15. At the same time, the foreign matter deposited on the rear side of the pulsator 2, the pump chamber 13, the circulation path 14, etc. can also be removed and collected in the cotton ball passing device 15. 10 1243866 The next step is to enter the draining process. The drain valve 10 is operated in step 28 to drain the washing liquid from the washing tub 3, and then enter the rinse process in step 4. In this way, the water flow can be caused by the back-and-forth rotation of the gap of the pulsator 2, so that 5 more foreign matters formed on the outer wall of the washing tub 3 and the inner wall of the outer tub 1 are removed; and through automated and cumbersome steps, The automatic method is performed, and the foreign matter formed in the washing machine can be removed. In addition, during the soaking process, the preset water level is set to be higher than the highest water level in the washing cycle, and the washing liquid in the water tank is stirred by the pulsator 2 turning back and forth 10 and stopped rotating; in addition, the liquid in the washing tank 3 The middle part of the surface height decreases when the liquid level between the washing tank 3 and the outer tank 1 rises, so the 'sink washing liquid can reach and clear above the highest water level of the washing cycle and is formed on the outer wall and outside of the washing tank 3. Foreign matter on the inner wall of the tank 1. In addition, after soaking, by stirring the water 15 washing liquid in the washing tub 3 with the pulsator 2, the foreign matter removed by the soaking process can be collected in the cotton ball filter 15. In this embodiment, the water level is maintained the same during the supply and soaking of the washing liquid in the water tank. However, the water level during the supply of the washing liquid in the sink can be set, for example, the highest water level in the laundry cycle, and the water can be supplied more after the soaking process to a level higher than the southernmost water level. Under this condition, the detergent > tincture can dissolve quickly during the supply of the washing liquid in the sink. As shown in Figure 3 of the second embodiment, the controller 29 controls the operation of the motor 6, the water supply valve 9, the drain valve 10, etc. to successively or selectively control the laundry washing, rinsing, and 1243866 dehydration processes. The sink washing liquid of the detergent performs a sink washing process and a sink rinse process to clean the inner surfaces of the washing tank 3 and the washing tank 3 with the washing tank 3 loaded therein. The rinse process is performed at least once. The subsequent process is: the sink rotates and rinses, in which the water supply valve 9 and the drain valve 5 10 open at the same time when the laundry tank 3 rotates at a low speed; the first agitation process, in which the pulsator 2 A small amount of water is rotated during the soaking process when the drain valve 10 is closed; a second agitation process in which the pulsator 2 is rotated with a moderate amount of water during the soaking process; and the drain process is performed when the drain valve 10 is opened. In addition, it is better to perform a water supply rinsing process before a drainage process of the rinsing process. The other elements are the same as the aforementioned first preferred embodiment; therefore, the elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted. The operation of the above-mentioned washing machine will now be described with reference to Figs. After completing the washing process of the sink, enter the following sink cleaning process: First, in step 31, perform a sink rotating rinse process, in which the water supply valve 9 and the drain valve 1015 are opened or the laundry tank 3 is rotated at a low speed. Open or operate at the same time, so that the end of the washing process of the sink is maintained, for example, on the pulsator 2, the bottom of the outer wall of the washing tank 3 and the bottom of the inner wall of the outer tank 1 are discharged together with the drainage. In addition, the water supply and drainage processes can be performed instead of performing the sink rotation and washing process, in which the laundry tank 3 does not rotate when water is supplied and drained by operating the water supply valve 9 and the drainage valve 10 almost simultaneously 20. Next, water is supplied to the low water level P2 by the water supply valve 9 and the water level detector η in step 32, and at this time, the drain valve 10 is closed. Next, in step 33, the first agitating and washing process is performed, in which the motor 6 is driven to rotate the pulsator 2 back and forth for a predetermined time, causing the foreign matter maintained between the washing tub 3 and the outer 12 1243866 tub 1 to be captured in Sink washing solution. At this time, since the pulsator 2 is rotated back and forth with a small amount of water, a powerful water flow 'can be formed to break the removed foreign matter into small pieces. Next, in step 34, water is supplied by the water supply valve 9 and the water level side device ^ 5, and the drain valve 10 is closed until it reaches the water level P1 of the soaking process in the sink washing process, and the water level is higher than the i-th dynamic rinse Passing water level P2; in step 35, a second fluttering and washing process is performed, in which the pulsator 2 is rotated back and forth by the motor 6-for a period of time, the "wash out" is left above the washing tank 3 and the outer tank i The radon above the low water level P2 is captured in the sink washing liquid 10. Since the pulsator 2 is rotated for a period of time in step 35, the washing liquid in the washing tank in the washing and dewatering tank 3 is forced to be collected from the pump chamber 13 to the cotton ball transition device 15 through the water circulation passage. Since the foreign object was broken into small pieces in step 33, it was taken to the cotton ball Wei Wei together with 15 20 ^ and the circulating bath washing liquid, and collected in addition. 'Since the pulsator 2 is driven at a high water level in step 35, ... Turning, the amount of water filtered through the cotton ball 15 is very large, so that the foreign matter can be easily removed. Hours—Next, in step 36, the water supply valve 9 and the drain valve 207 are operated by the arterial artery 112 to ride water for washing. The foreign matter remaining in the above steps without being collected can be discharged together with the drainage. At step 37, the water in the outer tank 1 is discharged by operating the drain valve when the water supply valve 9 is closed. During the water supply rinsing process, the water supply valve 9 and the drainage can be operated continuously or intermittently. As mentioned above, the rotating and washing process of the water tank is performed between 13 1243866 of the washing process of the water tank and the first agitation and washing process, wherein the water supply valve 9 and the drain valve 10 are operated simultaneously when the washing tank 3 is rotated at a low speed. Therefore, foreign matter remaining on the pulsator 2, the bottom of the outer wall of the washing tub 3, and the bottom of the inner wall of the outer tub 丨 can be drained out of the outer tub 1 by performing water supply and drainage simultaneously, so that 5 The subsequent rinse process is effectively performed. Here, the water supply and drainage process can replace the rotating and rinsing process of the water tank, and have substantially the same effect, in which the washing tank 3 is not rotated, and the water is supplied and operated at almost the same time by operating the water supply valve 9 and the drainage valve 10 discharge. In addition, during the first agitation and washing process, the pulsator 2 is rotated with a small amount of water 10 shortly afterwards, which can generate a powerful water flow, break the removed foreign matter into small pieces, and wash the liquid into the sink. So that it can be easily removed from the outer tank 丨 In addition, because water is subsequently supplied to the water level ρm of the soaking process, and the pulsator 2 is rotated back and forth for a period of time, it remains at the low water level P2 between the laundry tank 3 and the outer tank 丨The above foreign matter can be washed away and captured in the washing liquid of the sink, and at the same time, the amount of water filtered by 15 through the cotton ball is increased, so that the foreign matter can be removed and collected in the cotton ball filter 15. In addition, by performing the water supply washing process, the foreign matter that cannot be discharged or collected by the water tank washing process and the aforementioned rinse process can be discharged, and thus it is prevented from remaining in the washing machine. 20 In this embodiment, instead of the sink rotating rinse process, one of the sink rotating rinse process or the water supply and discharge process is performed before the first agitated rinse process as described above. However, the main purpose of one of the two processes is to effectively discharge foreign matter out of the outer tank 1, which can be performed before or after the second agitating and rinsing process to achieve substantially the same effect. 14 1243866 In this embodiment, as described above, the water supply rinse process is performed after the second agitated rinse process. However, by performing this process without performing the second agitation rinse process, substantially the same effect can be achieved. Further, in this embodiment, as described above, the water supply and rinse process 5 is performed by operating the water supply valve 9 and the drain valve 10 to supply water and drain water simultaneously. However, this process can also operate only the water supply valve 9 and water passes through an overflow hole (not shown) to produce substantially the same effect. The third embodiment is shown in FIG. 5. The controller 38 controls the operation of the motor 6, the water supply valve 9, the drain 10 valve 10, and the like to control the continuous or selected laundry washing, clear water and dehydration processes, and by using The sink washing liquid containing the detergent is used to perform the sink washing process and the subsequent sink washing process to clean the inner surface of the washing tub 3 and the outer tub 1 of the laundry washing tank 3 therein. The sink rinse process successively performs the following processes: the first agitated rinse process, in which the pulsator 2 rotates with a smaller amount of water than the water in the 15 soaking process; the second agitated rinse process, in which the pulsator 2 with a water level equal to or Above the liquid level in the soaking process? 1 high water turns. The other elements which are the same as those of the above-mentioned second preferred embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and their explanations are omitted. The operation of the above-mentioned washing machine will be described below. In the first initiating rinse process 20, because the pulsator 2 rotates back and forth with a small amount of water, it can generate a powerful water flow, break the removed foreign matter into small pieces, and disperse them into the sink washing liquid, so that It can be easily removed out of the outer tank 1. Next, when the pulsating H2 rotates back and forth for a period of time, the water is supplied above the water level P1 of the immersion light, and the foreign matter remaining above the low water level P2 between the washing tank 3 15 1243866 and the outer tank 1 is washed away. And capture it in the sink washing liquid. The amount of water passing through the cotton ball filter 15 may be greater than the amount of water in the soaking process, so that more foreign matter can be collected and removed in the cotton ball filter 15. In addition, since the water level is higher than the soaking water level P1, the washing liquid in the water tank can be cleaned and washed above the washing tank 3 and the outer tank 1 due to the force of the water flow during the soaking process. The above-mentioned sink cleaning cycle, that is, the operation of the sink washing and rinsing process can be stored in the storage area of the controller 18 programmatically; therefore, the entire sink cleaning cycle can be automatically executed under the control of the controller 18. 10. As described above, the present invention includes the steps of washing the water tank by using a water tank washing liquid containing a detergent, a pulsator rotatably disposed on the bottom thereof, and the inner surface of the outer water tank; The sink and pulsation are as follows. The washing step includes: supplying a sink washing solution containing a detergent to the 'first clothes' sink and the outer tank; performing a 15-soak process in which the pulsator is rotated forward and backward; and the bath is discharged after the soaking process. In this method, the liquid to the washing machine tank is compared with the conventional manual method. During the soaking process, the t-pulsation can rotate back and forth to generate a water flow, so that more water is formed on the outer wall of the washing machine tank and on the inner wall of the outer tank. Foreign matter is removed; and through the automated process, the sanitary process can be replaced by an automated process, and the foreign matter forming 20 in the washing machine can be effectively removed. The invention has been described above with reference to a preferred embodiment. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make various changes and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention and the scope defined by the scope of patent application.
