冼衣機中,它們並不是以那種方式加以佈置的,而是被佈 置成與洗衣機1的左右軸一致。 圖4到圖tf離子洗提單元之結構。圖4是俯視圖。圖$ 疋口著在圖4中之直線a切開的垂直斷面圖。圖$也是沿著 89392 -23 - 1254757 在圖4中之直線B_B切開的垂直斷面圖。圖7是水平斷面圖。 圖8是一個電極的透視圖。 離子洗提單元100具有一種由透明或半透明,無色或彩色 合成樹脂或者是不透明合成樹脂所製成的外殼(casing) U0。外殼110為具有開口在頂部的外殼主體(casing b〇dy) 1 l〇a以及盍住頂部開口之蓋板丨丨⑽所組成的(參見圖5)。將 外叙王體ll〇a製成既長且窄的形狀,其中包括含:在縱方 向糕的進水口 111以及在另一端的出水口 112。進水口 j i j 和出水口 112都是管形的。出水口 112的截面積小於進水口 111的截面積。 以其纟k方向呈現水平的方式來佈置外殼丨i 0。以這種方式 、杈平佈置的外设主體11 具有一種逐漸向出口 112傾斜 的底4 (參見圖5)。換言之,將出水口 112定位在外殼丨之 内4空:間中的最低水平面處。 用四個螺絲170將蓋板ll〇b固定到外殼主體ll〇a (參見圖 4)。將止漏環(seal ring) m插人外殼主體ii〇a與蓋板m 間(參見圖5)。 在外豉110之内,佈置兩個平板電極(plate electrodes) 113 以便和彳心進水口 111朝向出水口丨12流動的水流平 /于兩個弘極彼此相對。隨著外殼11 〇充滿水,當施加一預 定電壓到兩個雷 兒極113和114時,就會從目前處在陽極端之 其中任何一個I和丄、 心中洗提金屬之金屬離子,其中兩個電極 都是由該金屬所制+ 、 、 、 I成。就一實例而言,可能構築兩個電極 113和114,以僮槪々人 一 抑各自測得2厘米(cm) X 5厘米和大約1毫米 89392 -24- 1254757 (mm)厚的兩個銀板加以佈置成彼此相隔大約5毫米。 兩個電極113和114的材料並不受限於銀。任何金屬都能 夠成為材料,只要它是抗菌金屬離子的來源。除了銀外,b 也能夠選擇:銅,銀和銅的合金,鋅或其同類者。從銀電 極中洗提銀離子,從銅電極中洗提銅離子以及從鋅電極中 洗提鋅離子證明甚至對黴菌都具有優越的殺菌效果。從銀 和銅的合金中,能夠同時洗提銀離子和銅離子。 至於離子洗提單元100,有可能藉由是否施加電壓來選擇 洗提或不洗提(non-elution)。而且,藉由控制電流或施加電 壓的時間,就能夠控制金屬離子洗提量。與一種從沸石 (zeolite)或其它金屬離子載體(carriers)中洗提金屬離子的方 法相比較,因為有可能以電方式來選擇是否添加金屬離子 和以電方式調整金屬離子濃度,所以挺方便的。 兩個電極113和114並不是被佈置成完全平行。在平面圖 中,將它們佈置成錐形,使得:沿著流經外殼u 〇之内侧的 水流’從上游到下游,換言之,從進水口 u丨到出水口丨丨2, 在兩個電極之間的空間變成比較窄(參見圖7)。 從具有進水口 111的一端到具有出水口 112的另一端,也 會使外殼主體110a的平面圖形狀變窄。也就是,在外殼11〇 之内部空間中的截面積會從上游端到下游端而逐漸減少。 兩個電極113和114都具有長方形輪廓,並且分別配備有 端子115和116。將兩個端子115和116佈署在上游端之兩個電 極113和114的邊緣之内側的那個部份處,它們分別垂掛在 兩個電極113和114的下緣上。 89392 -25 - 1254757 電極113和端子115都是由相同金屬加以整合製成,並且 電極114和端子116都是由相同金屬加以整合製成。將兩個 端子115和116引導到外殼主體ll〇a的底部而穿過形成在外 主體110a的下壁(bottom wall)中之一空穴(hole)。在兩個端子 115和116突出於外殼主體1 l〇a之外的地方,如在圖6中之一 放大圖中所顯示’安裝了一種不透水密封seai) 172。不透水密封π2和稍後描述的第二套管(sec〇nd sleeve)

也會將商用配電電源121連接到與變壓器122並聯的整流 89392 -28- 1254757 t把126。藉由電容器127來平滑(sm〇〇th)整流二極體126 的如出電壓,然後藉由恆定電壓電路128來形成恆定電壓, 然後再應到微電腦130。微電腦130會控制連接在變壓器122 <初級線圈之一端與商用配電電源121之間的三極交流半 導體開關(triac) 129的啟動操作。 甩極驅動電路15〇為:諸多電晶體Q1到Q4,兩個二 極體D1和D2,以及諸多電阻器R1到R7所組成的。將這些元 件加以互連,如圖中所顯示。電晶體Q1和二極體D1形成光 ♦馬合器151,並且電晶體Q2和二極體⑴形成光耦合器152。 兩個一極f豆D1和D2都是光二極體,並且兩個電晶體q 1和q2 都是光電晶體。 微電腦130會饋送高位準電壓到訊號線u以及低位準電 壓(或零電壓,也就是“不導通,,(off)電壓)到訊號線以。然 後,二極體D2會接通,而這樣會使電晶體Q2接通。當電晶 體Q2接通時,電流就會流經三個電阻器R3、似及…,而這 樣會使偏壓施加到電晶體q3之基極。於是,電晶體Q3會接 通。 另一方面,二極體D1不導通,於是電晶體Q1不導通,因 此電晶體Q4不導通。在此狀態中,電流會從陽極端電極ιΐ3 流到陰極端電極114。結果是,在離子流提單元1〇〇中,產 生諸多金屬離子當作正離子和負離子。 當電流朝一方向通過離子洗提單元1〇〇有很長一段時間 時,在圖9中之陽極端的電極113會磨損,而在陰極端的電 極114則會收集以污垢形式呈現的水中雜質。這樣會降低離 89392 -29- 1254757 子洗提單元100的效能。為了避免此事,能夠以強制電極清 潔模式(compulsory electrode_cleaning m〇de)來操作電極驅動 電路150。 在強制電極清潔模式中,微電腦13〇會切換控制模式,以 便轉換(invert)施加在兩條訊號線“和L2之間的電壓,並且 藉此反轉(reverse)流動於兩個電極} 13和i 14之間的電流。在 k種杈式中,電晶體(^和Q2都導通(〇n),且電晶體災和印 則都不導通_。微電腦13G具有計數器能力,因此每當達 到預足計數時,就會如以上描述那樣切換控制模式。 當經過電極驅動電路150的電阻(特別m固電’極⑴和 電阻)改變時,結果是,譬如說流動於兩個電極之間 電流會減少’恆定電流電路125就會提升其輸出電壓以補 ”巧減j/里。然而,當總使用時間增加時,離子洗 後會相其使用壽命之極限°#發生此事時,縱使將 ^路二到強制電極清潔模式’或者是提升怪定電流 电、的輸出電壓’也不再可能補償在電流方面的減少。

The inner tube 57a has an opening toward the bottom of the water supply port 53 at the bottom thereof. A predetermined gap is maintained between the bottom end of the outer tube 57b and the bottom surface of the treatment agent chamber 55 for use as a water inlet. When the water is introduced into the treatment agent chamber 55 to a level higher than the top end of the inner tube 57a, the siphon principle is used to cause the water to flow out of the treatment chamber 55 via the siphon 57, and then drip to the bottom of the water supply port 53; The nozzle 56 injects water into the washing tub 30. The core water valve 30 is composed of a main water supply valve 5〇a and a pair of water supply valve 50b. The main feedwater valve 50a allows a relatively large flow of water, while the secondary feedwater valve 5〇b allows a relatively small flow of water. The method of setting the water flow to be large or small is to make the internal structure of the main water supply valve 50a 89392 -15-1254757 and the internal structure of the sub-water supply valve 50b different from each other, or to make the internal structures of the two valves the same but different They are combined by flow-limiting members of the thr〇uling ratio. The connecting pipe 51 is shared between the main and auxiliary water supply valves 50a and 50b. The main water supply valve 50a is connected to the opening in the ceiling of the water supply port 53 by the main water supply passage 52a'. This opening is the opening toward the detergent chamber 54' such that a large amount of water flow from the autonomous water supply valve 50a is injected into the detergent chamber 54 via the main feed water passage 52a. The sub-water supply valve 50b is connected to the opening within the elevated limit of the water supply port 53 by a sub water feed passage 52b. This opening is directed toward the treatment agent chamber 55 such that a small amount of water from the sub-water supply valve 50b is injected into the treatment agent chamber 55 via the sub-water supply passage 52b. That is, the passage from the main feed water valve 50a to the washing tank 30 via the detergent chamber 54 is separated from the passage leading from the sub-feed valve 50b to the washing tank 30 via the treatment chamber. Returning to Fig. 1, a drain hose 60 is attached to the bottom of the water tank 20, and the water drain tank 20 and the washing tub 3 are passed through the hose. Water flows from the two drain pipes T and 61 into the drain hose 6〇. The drain pipe 61 is connected to a portion of the bottom surface of the water tank 20 which is somewhat peripheral, and the drain pipe 62 is connected to a portion of the bottom surface of the water tank 20 which is somewhat central. Within the water lift 20, on the bottom surface thereof, the annular partition wall 63 is fixed in such a manner as to close the portion of the water tank 20 to which the drain pipe q is connected. The partition wall 63 is fitted with a circular leak stop member at the top thereof. The leakage preventing member (10) is held in contact with the disk fixed to the outer surface of the washing tub 30 in a circumferential surface thereof to form the water tank 20 and the washing tub 3 The separation drainage space between the crucibles is 89392 -16 - 1254757 66. The drainage space 66 communicates with the inside of the strip tank 30 via the drain port 67 formed in the bottom of the washing tub 30. The drain pipe 62 is provided with a type An electromagnetically operated drain valve 68. In one portion of the drain 62, an air trap 69 is deployed at the upstream end of the drain valve 68. A lead pipe 70 extends from the gas flap 69. 7〇 is connected to the water level switch 71 at its top end. The control body 80 is deployed in the front part of the outer casing 1 below the top plate 11. The controller 80 is deployed on the top surface of the top plate π. The operation/display panel 8 1 receives an instruction from the user; and sends the operation command to the transmission unit 4, the water supply valve 5, and the drain valve 68. The controller 80 also sends the display command % to the operation/$ member The display panel 81. The controller 80 includes a type for driving to describe later The driving circuit of the ion eluting unit will now be described. How to operate the washing machine 1. First, the cover 16 is opened, and the laundry is put into the washing tank 3 by the laundry input port 15. Pulling from the water supply port 53 The drawer 53a is taken out, and the detergent is put into the detergent bowl 54 in the drawer 53a. The treatment agent (softener) is put into the treatment agent chamber 55. The treatment agent (softener) may be put into the laundry during the laundry period. This place, or when it is not needed, can be put in. After setting the detergent and the treatment agent (softener), the drawer 53a is pushed back into the water supply port 53. After the agent and the treatment agent (softener), the cover 16 is covered, and the desired laundry washing stroke is selected by a set of operations on the operation/display panel 81. By subsequently pressing the start button, The laundry washing period is performed according to the flowcharts shown in Figures 1 to 13. 89392 • 17-1254757 Fig. 1 is a flow chart for displaying the entire laundry washing period. In step S201, according to the previously set time. Come to The laundry washing operation checks whether the timer start operation is selected. If the timer start operation is selected, the flow proceeds to step S2〇6; if not, the flow proceeds to step S202. In step S206, it is checked whether the operation has been reached. If the operation start time has elapsed, the flow proceeds to step S2〇2. In step S202, it is checked whether the washing process is selected. If the washing process is selected, the flow proceeds to S300. The reference is shown in FIG. The flowchart of how to perform the washing process in step S300 will be described later. Upon completion of the washing process, the flow proceeds to step S2〇3. If the washing process is not selected, the flow proceeds directly from step S2〇2 to step S2〇3. In step S203, it is checked whether or not the washing process is selected. If you choose to wash the privacy, the process, 纟, continue to S 4 0 0. Referring to the flowchart shown in Fig. 12, how to perform the washing process in step S400 will be described later. In Figure 1 ', the 'washing process is repeated three times, and each step of the process is displayed with the step number of the mantissa (such as "S400-1", "S400-2", and "S400-3,").骡 The number of times of the washing process is set by the user. In this case, “S400-3” is the final washing process. Upon completion of the washing process, the flow proceeds to step S2〇4. & select 冼α process', then the process continues, directly from step $203 to step S204. In step S204, it is checked whether the dehydration process is selected. If the dehydration process is selected, the flow proceeds to S500. The reference is shown in the figure. Flowchart in 13, 89392 -18- 1254757 How to perform the dehydration process in step S500 will be described later. Once the dehydration is completed, the flow proceeds to step s2 〇 5. If it is not dehydrated, then The process continues directly from step to step." In step S205, the operation termination of the controller 8 (especially the processing unit (microcomputer) therein) is automatically executed in accordance with a predetermined program. In addition, the dream is completed by issuing a beep to indicate the completion of the washing period. Once all the work is done, the washing machine 1 will return to the standby state to prepare for the new laundry wash. Next, with reference to Figs. 11 and 13, the respective processes of washing, washing, and dehydrating will be described. Figure 11 is a flow chart of the washing process; In step S3 〇 1, the water level in the washing tub 30 sensed by the water level switch 71 is being monitored. In step S3〇2, it is checked whether or not the laundry quantity sensing operation is selected. If the laundry quantity sensing operation is selected, the flow proceeds to step S308; if not, the flow proceeds directly from step S3 to step S303. In step S308, the amount of the laundry f is estimated based on the load of the rotation of the agitator 33. Once the clothing quantity sensing operation is completed, the process will proceed to the step. Step S303. In step S303, the main water supply valve 50a is opened, and water is injected into the washing water supply port 53 through the water supply port 53. Since the main water supply valve 50 a is set for the large water ax, it is possible to quickly fill the washing tub 30. The detergent which has been put into the detergent chamber 54 is completely washed away by the large water flow, is further fused with the water, and enters the washing tub 30. The drain valve 68 is still closed. When the water level switch 71 detects the set water level, the main water supply valve 5〇a is closed. Then the flow proceeds to step 89392 -19- 1254757. Step S 3 Ο 4 〇 In step S3〇4, ·^ ^ , , ^ ^ , ^ , 仃—prepare the operation. First, head in the positive direction, then turn to the anti-universal and do not turn again and cry. 3 to shake the laundry in the water, so that the washing & king into the water. This will allow the laundry to absorb a sufficient amount of water, =:: Air leaks in many parts of the laundry. As the quasi-"Guangguo, if the water level detected by the water level switch 71 becomes lower than the water level at the time of opening; then the left cow m in V驭S305, open the main water supply valve 50a, so that i, give extra water to recover Set the water level. ^Select to include the "cloth type sensing operation" (Cl°th coffee clothes, 'I 仃 private') When the preparation operation is performed, the cloth surface is sensed. Once the preparation is completed, the distance is detected. The change of the water level of the water level is set; therefore, the 'right water level is decreased by more than the predetermined amount', it is determined that the laundry belongs to the superabsorbent fabric type. When the set water level is stably obtained in step S305, the flow proceeds to the step. S306. According to the setting performed by the user, the motor "rotates the agitator 33 in accordance with a predetermined mode (patt (10)) to generate a main stream of water for washing in the cleaning (4). With this main stream, the clothes are applied Washing. The dewatering mandrel 44 is still stopped by the brake mechanism 43, so that the washing tank 3G does not rotate even when the washing water and the laundry are rotated. Then, the flow proceeds to step S307. In step S307, the agitator 33 is repeatedly rotated in the positive direction and then the reverse direction every short period of time. This allows the laundry to be loose, and thereby allows The laundry is evenly dispersed in the column of the washing tank. This wood is prepared for the spin-drying of the washing tank. 3, 89392 -20- 1254757 Next, referring to the flow chart shown in Fig. 12, the washing will be described. First, in step S500, a dehydration process is performed, referring to the flowchart shown in Fig. 13, which will be described later. Upon completion of the dehydration operation, the flow proceeds to step S401. In step S401 In the middle, the main water supply 阙50 a ' is turned on and the water supply reaches the set water level. Upon completion of the water supply, the flow proceeds to step S4 〇 2. In step S402, a preparatory operation is performed. The preparatory operation performed in step S402 During this period, the laundry adhered to the washing tub 3 in the step S500 (dehydration process) is separated and immersed in water so that the laundry completely absorbs water. Then, the flow proceeds to step S4〇3. As a result of the preparatory operation, if the water level detected by the water level switch 71 becomes lower than the water level at the beginning; the main water supply valve 5〇a is opened to supply additional The water is restored to the set water level. After restoring the set water level in step S403, the flow then proceeds to step S404. According to the setting performed by the user, the motor rotates the agitator 33 in accordance with the predetermined mode so as to be in the washing tub 3 The water produced by the I water is used for washing. The main water flow is used to wash the clothes: ^ The water shaft 44 is still braked by the brake mechanism 43, so that even when the water and the laundry are rotated, The washing tank 3〇 will not rotate. The field is used to wash the clothing cycle with the main stream, and the flow will be followed by the step S injury. In step S406, the agitator 3 is loosely rotated every few short periods of time, and then repeatedly in the reverse direction, and thereby allows laundry = 曰 to allow the laundry to do so in preparation for the dehydration rotation. In the washing tank 3 ° 89392 - 21 - 1254757 In the above description, it is assumed that the washing operation is performed by the washing water stored in the washing tank 3〇. This operation is referred to as "stored-water rinsing". However, it is also possible to perform a washing operation in such a manner as to always replenish the fresh water, which is called a "water-filling washing operation". ''(water-pouring rinsing); or to perform a washing operation in such a manner as to maintain water supply from the water supply port 53 when the washing tank groove 3 is rotated at a low speed, the operation is referred to as "leaching > valley type washing operation" ( Shower rinsing. In the final washing process, a different order from the above is performed. This will be described in detail later. Next, referring to the flowchart shown in Fig. 13, the dehydration process will be described. In S5〇1, the drain valve 68 is opened. The washing water discharged in the washing tub 30 is discharged via the drain space. The drain valve 68 remains open during the dewatering process. When most of the washing has been discharged from the laundry, the clutch mechanism 42 and the brake groove 43 are cut. The switching over timing of the clutch mechanism 42 and the brake mechanism 4: is not before the start of drainage or at the same time. The motor 41 now rotates the dewatering tank 3. Start dehydration rotation. The actuator 3 is an object tank 3. When the washing tank 30 is rotated at a high speed, the squid is squeezed by the centrifugal force to push the laundry to the inner circumferential wall of the washing tank 30. The washing water present in the clothes will also be permanently collected on the inner surface of the circumferential wall of the washing tank 30; and, because, as described earlier, the washing tank 30 Adding the official s street and reducing the ^, the force is seen in the shape of the main cone, so the washing water driven by the centrifugal force will rise along the inner surface of the 4 wash tank 30. When the washing water reaches the top of the washing tub 30, # a Λ , 7 -, it is discharged through the drain hole 3ί. 89392 -22 - 1254757 The water for washing water 4, _ 曰 曰 亚 亚 亚 亚 从 从 从 从 从 从 从 392 392 392 从 耆 耆 耆 耆 耆 从 从 从 从 从 从 从 从 从The clothes are left to the bottom of the water tank 20. Then, the first sister is drained by the drain pipe 61, and then the drain pipe 60 is discharged from the drain pipe, and the washing water is discharged out of the casing 10. In the flowchart φ ^ H shown in Fig. 13, after the operation is relatively low 逯 water in step S502; in step S503, the dehydration operation is performed at high speed. The flow proceeds to step S503' and the flow proceeds to Step reading. In step S504, the supply of electric power to the lightning booster half-to-child motivation 41 is stopped, and the finalizing operation is performed by stopping the power supply. The ion eluting unit 1 is referred to Figs. 3 to 9, and the unit is assembled and assembled. The washing machine 1 is equipped with an ion eluting unit 1〇〇 connected to the downstream end of the main water supply passage 52& The structure and function of the ion eluting unit 1〇〇 in the washing machine 1 will now be described.曰TF ion elution unit 1〇〇 and water supply A partial top view of the horror of the 53. The ion eluting unit (10) is directly connected to the main supply under-valve 50a and the port 3 at both ends thereof. In other words, the ion eluting unit (10) constitutes the overall main water supply path in an independent manner. 52a. The method of forming the secondary water supply passage is: connecting the water pipe protruding from the water port 53 to the auxiliary water supply valve 5〇b with a hose, in the intention of FIG. 1, the water supply valve %, the ion eluting unit 1 The crucible and the water supply port 53 are arranged to coincide with the front and rear axles of the washing machine. However, in the actual dryer, they are not arranged in that manner, but are arranged to coincide with the left and right axes of the washing machine 1. 4 to the structure of the tf ion elution unit. Fig. 4 is a top view. Fig. $ is a vertical sectional view of the straight line a in Fig. 4. Fig. $ is also along 89392 -23 - 1254757 in Fig. 4. Figure 7 is a perspective view of an electrode. Figure 8 is a perspective view of an electrode. The ion stripping unit 100 has a transparent or translucent, colorless or colored synthetic resin or an opaque synthetic resin. Made casing (ca Sing) U0. The outer casing 110 is composed of a casing body 1 1〇 with an opening at the top and a cover 丨丨 (10) covering the top opening (see Fig. 5). 〇a is formed into a long and narrow shape, including: a water inlet 111 in the longitudinal direction of the cake and a water outlet 112 at the other end. The water inlet jij and the water outlet 112 are tubular. The water outlet 112 is cut off. The area is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the water inlet 111. The outer casing 丨i 0 is arranged in such a manner that its 纟k direction is horizontal. In this way, the peripheral body 11 of the flattened arrangement has a bottom 4 which is gradually inclined toward the outlet 112 (see Figure 5). In other words, the water outlet 112 is positioned within the outer casing 44: the lowest level in the middle. The cover 11b is fixed to the outer casing body 11a with four screws 170 (see Fig. 4). Insert a seal ring m between the outer casing body ii〇a and the cover m (see Fig. 5). Within the outer cymbal 110, two plate electrodes 113 are arranged so that the water flowing toward the water inlet port 12 and the water outlet port 12 are flat/opposite to each other. As the outer casing 11 is filled with water, when a predetermined voltage is applied to the two Leier poles 113 and 114, metal ions of the metal are eluted from any of the I and the center of the anode at the anode end, two of which Each of the electrodes is made of +, , and I made of the metal. In one example, it is possible to construct two electrodes 113 and 114, two silvers each measuring 2 cm (cm) X 5 cm and approximately 1 mm 89392 -24 - 1254757 (mm) thick by the virgins. The plates are arranged to be spaced about 5 mm apart from each other. The materials of the two electrodes 113 and 114 are not limited to silver. Any metal can be a material as long as it is a source of antimicrobial metal ions. In addition to silver, b can also choose: copper, silver and copper alloys, zinc or the like. The elution of silver ions from the silver electrode, the elution of copper ions from the copper electrode, and the elution of zinc ions from the zinc electrode prove that the mold has superior bactericidal effects. From silver and copper alloys, both silver and copper ions can be eluted simultaneously. As for the ion elution unit 100, it is possible to select elution or non-elution by whether or not a voltage is applied. Moreover, the amount of metal ion elution can be controlled by controlling the current or the time during which the voltage is applied. Compared with a method for eluting metal ions from zeolite or other metal ion carriers, it is convenient to electrically select whether to add metal ions and electrically adjust the metal ion concentration. . The two electrodes 113 and 114 are not arranged to be completely parallel. In plan view, they are arranged in a conical shape such that: along the flow of water flowing through the inside of the casing u ' from upstream to downstream, in other words, from the inlet u to the outlet 丨丨 2, between the two electrodes The space becomes narrower (see Figure 7). From the one end having the water inlet 111 to the other end having the water outlet 112, the plan view shape of the outer casing main body 110a is also narrowed. That is, the cross-sectional area in the inner space of the outer casing 11〇 is gradually reduced from the upstream end to the downstream end. Both electrodes 113 and 114 have a rectangular outline and are equipped with terminals 115 and 116, respectively. Two terminals 115 and 116 are disposed at the inner side of the edges of the two electrodes 113 and 114 at the upstream end, which are respectively hung on the lower edges of the two electrodes 113 and 114. 89392 -25 - 1254757 Both the electrode 113 and the terminal 115 are made of the same metal, and the electrode 114 and the terminal 116 are all made of the same metal. The two terminals 115 and 116 are guided to the bottom of the casing main body 11a through a hole formed in the bottom wall of the outer body 110a. Where the two terminals 115 and 116 protrude beyond the outer casing main body 1 〇a, as shown in an enlarged view in Fig. 6, a watertight seal sea 172 is mounted. The watertight seal π2 and the second sec〇nd sleeve 175 described later form a double double sealing structure to prevent water from leaking therefrom. At the bottom of the outer main fa 110a, an insulating wall 173 for isolating the two terminals 115 and 116 is formed to be integrated (see Fig. 6). The two terminals 115 and 116 are connected to the drive circuit in the controller 80 by a cable (not shown). With respect to the two terminals 115 and 116, those portions remaining in the outer casing 110 are protected by a sleeve made of an insulating material. Use two 2 T. A sleeve 174 is made of synthetic resin and is engaged in the roots of the two terminals H5 and m. The portion of the sleeve 117 extends to the two electrodes 113 and 114 (one end, thus forming projections at the ends of the portions, and the projections are closely attached to the two electrodes (1) and ... A through hole (th_gh h() les) is formed. This helps prevent the two poles (1) and U4 from coming off the sleeve 174. The second sleeve 175 is privately made of soft rubber and has no sleeve 174 and outer casing. a gap between the lower walls of the body i (10), thus preventing this from passing through the gap between the second sleeve 175 and the outer casing main body 110a and the gap between the two electrodes 113 and 114 via the second sleeve 175 As mentioned above, #石加... jgong Chen cold leaks keep two dice 115 and 116 positioned at the upstream end of the two electrodes} 13 89392 -26- 1254757 and 114. By meshing to the two terminals 115 and The first sleeve Π 4 of the 116 supports the upstream ends of the two electrodes 113 and 114. On the inner surface of the cover 11b, 'forms a fork-shaped bracket 176 to be formed so as to be in close contact with the first sleeve ι74 (see Figure 6). This bracket 176 will hold the upper edge of the first sleeve 174 and serve to fill the first sleeve 174 and the outer casing. The first set of moss 175 in the gap between the bodies 11〇a serves as a rigid support. The fork-shaped bracket 176 uses Changzhi: two kinds of fingers to hold the two electrodes 113 and 丨μ; By the finger, at the end of the cover plate 110b, the two electrodes 113 and 114 can maintain a proper space between each other. The downstream ends of the two electrodes 113 and 114 are also formed on the inner surface of the outer casing 11〇. The bracket is supported. The fork bracket 177 is raised from the bottom surface of the outer casing body 11a, and the bracket 178 is hung on the ceiiing of the cover plate 11b to face the bracket 177 (see Fig. 5). And 8). The two electrodes 113 and ι 4' are held by the white ribs 177 and 178 at the lower edge and the upper and lower edges of the downstream end, respectively, so that they do not move. As shown in Fig. 7, two The electrodes 113 and ΐ4 are clothed so that the two surfaces opposite to each other are kept at the opposite surface from the inner surface of the casing ι and JL 'as shown in Fig. 5, the two electrodes ι 3 and ι 4 are clothed. = to maintain between their upper and lower edges and the inner surface of the outer casing 11〇 (',, branch 176' 177 and 1 The exception is those parts of the 78 contact. In addition, the mouth 7 or the figure 5 shows a space between the upstream and lower edges of the two electrodes (1) and ι 4 and the inner surface of the casing. When it is not necessary to make the width of the outer casing (10) much smaller, it is possible to construct two electrodes by such a manner that the two surfaces opposite to each other are firmly attached to the inner wall of the outer casing HO 89392 -27 - 1254757. 13 and 1丨4. In order to prevent foreign matter (f〇reign 〇bjeCtS) from coming into contact with the two electrodes 1 13 and 14 14 , a metal mesh strainer is installed on the tour ends of the two electrodes (1) and . Place the filter in the connector pair as shown in Figure 2. The second is to prevent the foreign matter plate from entering the water supply valve 50, and it can also be used as an upstream filter for the ion washing unit. A wide metal mesh filter 181 is installed at the downstream ends of the two electrodes 113 and (1). When the electrode is smashed and broken due to the use of a long time - lead per π I length #, the filter 181 prevents the rupture debris of the two electrodes 113 and 114 from flowing out, for example, the outlet U2 may be selected as The position of the filter 181 is installed. The positions of the two filters 180 and 181 are not limited to the above positions. As long as the female garment is at the upstream end of the electrode, and at the "downstream end of the electrode, it is possible to place them anywhere in the feedwater path. Both filters 180 and 181 are removable. Thus, it is possible to remove the trapped substances or to remove the substances that contribute to the clogging. Figure 9 shows the drive circuit 120 for the ion elution unit 100. The transformer: 122 is connected to the commercial power distribution source m so that 1 〇〇 The volts drop to a predetermined voltage to rectify the output voltage of the transformer 122 by the Wang wave rectification circuit 123 and then form a constant voltage by the constant voltage circuit 124. The hate voltage circuit 124 is connected to the threshold current circuit 125. The current circuit 125 operates in such a manner that a constant current is supplied to the electrode driving circuit 15A described later without being affected by the resistance change of the electrode driving circuit 。5〇. 121 is connected to a rectification 89392 -28- 1254757 t 126 in parallel with the transformer 122. The capacitor 127 is used to smooth (sm〇〇th) the output voltage of the rectifying diode 126, A constant voltage is then formed by the constant voltage circuit 128, and then applied to the microcomputer 130. The microcomputer 130 controls the connection to the transformer 122. <Start-up operation of a three-pole AC semiconductor switch (triac) 129 between one end of the primary coil and the commercial power distribution source 121. The drain driving circuit 15 is composed of a plurality of transistors Q1 to Q4, two diodes D1 and D2, and a plurality of resistors R1 to R7. These components are interconnected as shown in the figure. The transistor Q1 and the diode D1 form a photo-jumper 151, and the transistor Q2 and the diode (1) form an optical coupler 152. The two first-pole f beans D1 and D2 are both photodiodes, and the two transistors q 1 and q2 are photonic crystals. The microcomputer 130 will feed the high level voltage to the signal line u and the low level voltage (or zero voltage, that is, "non-conducting, (off) voltage) to the signal line. Then, the diode D2 will be turned on, and this will The transistor Q2 is turned on. When the transistor Q2 is turned on, the current flows through the three resistors R3, like..., and this causes a bias voltage to be applied to the base of the transistor q3. Thus, the transistor Q3 On the other hand, the diode D1 is not turned on, and thus the transistor Q1 is not turned on, so that the transistor Q4 is not turned on. In this state, current flows from the anode terminal electrode ι3 to the cathode terminal electrode 114. In the ion stripping unit 1 , a plurality of metal ions are generated as positive ions and negative ions. When the current passes through the ion eluting unit 1 in a direction for a long period of time, the electrode at the anode end in FIG. 9 113 will wear, and the electrode 114 at the cathode end will collect impurities in the water in the form of dirt. This will reduce the performance of the decanting unit 100 from 89392 -29 - 1254757. In order to avoid this, it is possible to use the forced electrode cleaning mode ( Compulsor y electrode_cleaning m〇de) to operate the electrode driving circuit 150. In the forced electrode cleaning mode, the microcomputer 13 switches the control mode to invert the voltage applied between the two signal lines "and L2", and thereby The current flowing between the two electrodes} 13 and i 14 is reversed. In the k type, the transistor (^ and Q2 are both turned on (〇n), and the transistor disaster and the print are not turned on. The microcomputer 13G has the counter capability, so whenever the pre-foot count is reached, it will be like The control mode is switched as described above. When the resistance (especially the m-electrode (1) and the resistance) of the electrode driving circuit 150 is changed, as a result, for example, the current flowing between the two electrodes is reduced by the 'constant current circuit 125'. Will increase its output voltage to make up "j/min." However, when the total usage time increases, the ion wash will have its life limit. ## When this happens, even if it will be forced to the electrode cleaning mode 'Or the output voltage that raises the current, it is no longer possible to compensate for the reduction in current. Two:: Coping with this matter' In the circuit under discussion, based on the voltage across the resistor R7: The current flowing between the two S t4 of the ion eluting unit i 。. When the current becomes equal to the predetermined minimum electric power, the machine detecting circuit 160 detects it. The fact is: it will be 柃:: Minimum current After the light is lost, the second light will be selected by the line L 3, and the microcomputer 13 〇 ^ 3 will not be in the position of 131 ' to make it indicate the predetermined warning. The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ And sound " in the pan/display panel 81 or the controller 8〇. 89392 -30- 1254757 Moreover, in order to cope with, for example, short in the electrode driving circuit i5〇: a current detecting circuit 161 is provided, the circuit will inspect The current of the high current is early. Based on the current detecting circuit, the first riding drive warning indicator (3) is taken. The output voltage becomes lower than the preset minimum voltage; the second::125 is transmitted and the mechanical computer 130 In the same way, the warning will be instructed to cry (3). The metal ions produced by the ion stripping unit will be placed in the washing tank. The metal ions are added during the final washing and are intended to be treated as Figure 14 is a flow chart for showing the sequence of the final washing operation. 1 In the final washing process, after the dehydration process of step S5 (9), the flow # M° is checked in step S420 to check whether or not to select Add processing materials. The operation/display skin selects "when the processing agent is added, the flow proceeds to the step, and if not, then the flow proceeds to step S401 in Fig. 12, and the previous washing is performed with the selection operation performed. The cleaning process performs the final cleaning operation in the same manner. In step S421, it is checked whether two processing materials (that is, metal ions and softeners) are added. When passing through a bank executed via the operation/display panel 81 When the operation selects "add metal ions and softeners, the flow will proceed to step S422; if not, the flow proceeds to step S426. In step S422, the main water valve 50a is opened. Since the sub-water supply valve 50b, the water flows into the main water supply passage 52a and the sub-water supply passage 52b. Step S422疋 The process of elution of metal ions. The predetermined amount of water set to be larger than the amount of water set by the needles 89392 - 31 - 1254757 to 4 water feeds 5 〇 b is flowing, and thus fills the internal space of the ion elution unit i 。. At the same time, the drive packet 120 will apply a voltage between the two electrical-u3*n4; < Metal ion elution into the water. When the metal lanthanum silver of the two electrodes 丨13 and 114 is formed, a chemical reaction Ag-Ag, +, Q occurs at the anode end, and the silver ion Ag is eluted into the water. Flowing on two electrodes 113 and η 4 The current between < is a direct current. Water to which metal ions are added flows into the detergent chamber 54, and is then injected into the washing tank % from the water outlet 54a via the water outlet 56. The amount of water from the sub-water supply valve 50b which is smaller than the amount of water from the main water valve 50a flows out, and is injected into the treatment agent chamber 55 via the sub-water supply passage 52b. The treatment agent (softener) has been supplied to the right into the treatment agent chamber 55, and the treatment agent (softener) is introduced into the washing tank 3 together with water via the siphon tube 57. This addition is performed simultaneously when metal ions are added. The siphon effect does not occur until the water level within the treatment chamber has reached the predetermined water level. This allows the treating agent (softener) to remain in the treating agent chamber 55 until the time when water is injected into the treating agent chamber 55. When a predetermined amount of water (such as the amount of water causing the siphon effect to occur in the siphon 57 is injected into the treatment agent chamber 55) is injected into the treatment chamber 55, the sub-water supply valve 50b is closed. As long as the "addition of the treatment agent" is selected, whether or not the agent (softener) has been put into the treatment agent chamber 55, the water supply step = (that is, the addition of the treatment agent) is automatically performed. When the amount of water containing metal ions is injected into the washing tank 3, and the supply of the metal ion-free water reaches the set water level, the metal ion concentration in the washing water is adjusted to a predetermined level, and the application of the 89392 32 1254757 voltage is stopped. Between the electrodes 113 and 114. After the ion eluting unit (10) stops generating ions, the main water supply valve 5〇a will continue to supply water when the water level in the water supply tank 30 reaches the set water level, Described, the name I breaks in two v釭S422, while adding metal ions and a treatment agent (softener). However, this is a fine _ · k does not think about it. In the case of sucking the skin through the insects, the treatment agent (softener) Mu Ren, Jie, Xiao Yao + u ...

C7 Φ JL. j Essentials 只要 It is sufficient to perform the addition of metal ions and the addition of a treatment agent (softener) in one sequence. As previously described, the terminals 115 are integrated into the package 113' from the same metal and the terminals 116 are integrated into the electrode 114. Therefore, unlike the case of connecting different metals, the potential difference does not occur between the electrodes and the terminals. Material, simplified manufacturing process due to integration. The space between the two electrodes 113 and 114 is set in a tapered manner, and thus becomes narrower from the upstream end to the downstream end, so that the two electrodes 113 and 114 coincide with the water flow, and thus the two electrodes 113 and 114 is more likely to not generate vibration; thereby, even when they become thinner due to wear, they hardly break. Moreover, there is no concern that the electrode may be short-circuited and may cause a short circuit. j Two electrodes 113 and 114 are selected in such a manner that a space is formed between the two electrodes and the inner surface of the outer casing 11〇-JJ-89392 1254757. This helps prevent the metal layer from growing from the two electrodes 113 and 114 to the inner surface of the outer casing 11 and causing a short between the electrodes, although the terminals 115 and 116 are respectively integrated into the electrodes 113 and 114; however, due to the use, two The electrodes 113 and 114 will eventually wear out. However, the two terminals 115 and 116 should be prevented from being worn out. In one embodiment of the invention, portions of the two terminals 15 and 16 that are positioned within the outer casing 110 are protected by two sleeves 174 and 175 of insulating material, thereby preventing Loss caused by conduction. This helps prevent a situation in which the two terminals 丨丨 5 and 116 are broken in the middle of their use. Among the two electrodes 113 and Π4, those portions of the two terminals 115 and 116 are formed <The knives are on the inside of the upstream end edge. The two electrodes 113 and 114 wear out, starting at the portion where the space between them has narrowed. Usually, the loss occurs at the edge. Although both terminals 115 and 116 are positioned at the upstream ends of the two electrodes 113 and 114, they are not completely at the edges but at the inner portion which is deep from the edges. Therefore, there is no need to worry that the wear at the edge of the electrode will reach the terminal and cause the terminal to rupture at its root. Both electrodes 113 and 114 are supported by a first sleeve 174 and a bracket 176 at their upstream ends. On the other hand, the downstream ends of both electrodes 113 and 114 are both supported by two brackets 177 and 178. Since they are strongly supported at the upstream end and the downstream end in this manner, even though they are both in the water flow, the two electrodes 113 and 114 do not vibrate. As a result, neither of the electrodes 113 and 114 is broken by vibration. 89392 - 34 - 1254757 The two terminals 115 and 116 will protrude downward through the lower wall of the casing main body 110a. Therefore, although the steam is in contact with the outer casing main body 11a (the steam can easily be thrown into the interior of the washing machine 1 when the hot water in the bathtub is used for washing) or because the outer casing 110 is cooled by the water supply The outer surface of the 11 承 is subjected to dew concentration, but the water generated from the dew condensation will flow down to the cable connected to the two terminals 115 and 116, and thus will not stay at the two terminals 115 and 116 on the boundary between the casing ι10. Therefore, a situation in which the short water is generated between the two terminals 115 and 116 due to the water generated by the condensation is not developed. The outer casing main body 10a is arranged in a longitudinal direction on a horizontal line such that the two terminals 115 and 116 formed on the side edges of the two electrodes 113 and 114 protrude downward through the lower wall of the outer casing main body 110a. One way to add construction is quite easy. The cross-sectional area of the water outlet 112 of the ion eluting unit 100 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the water inlet lu and has a greater resistance to water flow than the water inlet n. This causes the water entering the outer casing 110 via the water inlet to fill the inside of the outer casing 11 without causing stagnant air, thus completely immersing the two electrodes 113 and 114, so that two electrodes 113 and 114 do not occur. There are cases where those portions which are not related to the generation of metal ions are still not melted. Not only the cross-sectional area of the water outlet 112 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the water inlet port lu, but also the outer casing 110 (the cross-sectional area of the inner-slot space is gradually reduced from the upstream end to the downstream end. This reduces the occurrence of turbulence within the outer casing 110. Or bubbles; thereby, the water flows smoothly. 1. This prevents the two electrodes from being partially dissolved by the presence of the bubbles. The metal ions will quickly leave the two electrodes 113 and 114 and will not return. To the two electrodes (1) and (1), the ion elution efficiency is increased by 89392 - 35 - 1254757. The ion elution unit 100 is arranged to have a large amount of water flow at the crucible for the large flow main water supply passage 2a'. The ground is carried outside the outer shell 110, the #H r L_ sub-spins quickly and prevents them from returning to the two electric rafts 113 and 114, thus increasing the ion elution efficiency. 扛11^ Place the water outlet 112 in the outer casing The lowest level in the internal space of 110. Therefore, 'When the water supply to the ion elution unit is stopped, all the water in the ion unit 100 will flow out through the water outlet m. As a result, 14 cases will not occur. When the gas is cold, the water remaining in the outer casing 110 may freeze, thereby causing the ion eluting unit 1 to fail or rupture. The filter 180 is placed at the upstream end of the two electrodes 113 and 114. Thus, it is possible · Although a solid foreign matter is present in the supply ion eluting unit, the foreign matter is prevented from reaching the two packs 113 and 114 because it is intercepted by the filter 18〇. Therefore, the foreign matter does not damage the two electrodes. m and 114 also do not cause a short circuit between the electrodes to cause excessive current or cause a lack of metal ions. The filter 181 is placed at the downstream end of the two electrodes 113 and 114. If the two electrodes are caused by the long time It becomes fragile and thus breaks into pieces, and the broken pieces flow; then the filter 181 intercepts the broken pieces to prevent them from flowing downstream from the break. As a result, the two electrodes 113 and 114 The rupture of the shard does not damage the object at the downstream end. As an embodiment of the present invention, when the washing machine 1 is equipped with the ion eluting unit 100, 'if there are no two filters 180 and 181, foreign matter or electrodes Rupture debris may adhere to the laundry. There is a possibility that foreign matter or electricity 89392 -36-1254757 nuclear rupture debris may damage or damage the laundry; and if the rupture debris of the object or electrode remains attached The laundry on it is subjected to dehydration and dry operation'. Then the person who buds the clothes later may touch them, and thus, uncomfortable, or in the worst case, 'he may be injured. However, the text is loaded. Two filters 180 and 181 can avoid such a situation. It is not necessary to place two filters 180 and 181. When it is determined that installing a filter does not cause a problem, it is possible to apply two of the two filters. abolition. ^ Water returns to the figure, in step S423, the strong water stream (strongly swirling) 1 is used to add the metal ions and the treatment agent (softener) to wash the water, then, C, the first clothing to the genus ion The contact and the treatment agent (softener) are attached to the laundry.

The agitation is performed by a weak water flow (soft swirl). The purpose of this step is to attach metal ions to Wash and rub the surface to exert its effect. As long as there is water flowing, even if the water flow is soft, the user. The possibility that the operation of the washing machine 1 has ended. Because Taimu _ also performs the stirring. However, if there is a way to let The user understands that the 8i target is still in progress, for example, by displaying it on the operation/display panel, and the user is reminded to stop the agitation to make the water appear to be stationary. 89392 -37- 1254757 / After being set enough to make the laundry ^ owe metal _ sub-softness * (four) period 'the process will continue to step s 4 2 5. Here, to use the strong water flow (strong whirlpool again to perform the adhesion guarantee of the agitation. This Helps to distribute metal ions to the parts of the laundry that have not been dissipated with metal ions, and make it % solidly attached to the laundry.

Figure 15 shows the steps from step S422 to the steps. A timing diagram of the performance of each of the components of S4〇6.

Xinru #^ (ΟΝ/OFF) is as follows: Brother's "The time during the rated load operation is earlier than V." 1.9/0.7 0.6/10.0 1.4/1.0 0.9/0.4 Step S423 (Strong vortex wide step W24 ( Soft swirling full:) Step S425 (Strong whirl thirst): Step: S406 (Whole laundry evenly spreads " μ genus =: Add t genus in the case of T plus gold and sturdy sheep, the total time of the child process It is relatively long. Because it is completely attached to the laundry with a certain amount of time, it is washed: the object can be used to "fully attach the metal ions to the 'on' and thus exert the desired bactericidal effect. The total amount of water injection and/or the quantity of laundry in the service tank 30 can be set to be constant, and the time distribution is set to be constant for the time S423 (strongly full) and for step S424: It is easy to make the control program plan. According to the total amount of water injection and/or clothing in the washing tank 3G, it is possible to change the time between step S423 (strongly edited (4) and step 2 (softly...). Set a strong vortex cycle to gently swirl according to the total amount of water and the amount of clothing The ratio of the vortex cycles thus reduces the damage to the fabric and prevents unnecessary electrical power consumption. 疋 Basically, it is preferable to separately add metal ions and a treating agent (softener). This is because · · when metal ions and soft When the ingredients of the agent come into contact, they become chemical compounds' so that the effect of the metal ions is lost. Narrowly, before the completion of the washing process, a considerable amount of metal ions are still washed in the water of 89392 -39-1254757. Moreover, by appropriately setting the concentration of the metal ions, the effect of losing the metal ions can be compensated to some extent. Therefore, the metal ions and the treatment are added separately from the respective cleaning processes. Compared with the case of the agent (softener), by simultaneously adding metal ions and a treatment agent (softener), the washing time can be shortened; although 炊嵙J, although the effect of increasing the resistance to microorganisms is slightly reduced, Leading to improved housekeeping efficiency. Although it is inevitable that metal ions will be known and the treatment agent (softener) will be encountered in the puff 30; Enter ,, Qin, before eight in the washing tank 30, preventing contact with each other they are wanted. In the present invention makes homes, and 々 month < In the example of application, the metal ion main water supply passage 52a is added to the washing tank 3 via the detergent chamber 54, and the treatment (softener) is added from the treatment chamber 5 to the crucible and the final broadcast. ^ λ h light I slot 30. Since the passage for adding gold ions to the washing water is separated from the diagonally opposite path for adding the treatment agent to the washing; therefore, they are in the 渰, final broadcast w ^ 4 tank 30 Before the encounter, the metal and the treatment agent (softener) do not deviate from each other, and this is the contact. Therefore, the metal ions are not treated with the concentration of the south concentration agent. The agent turns into a chemical and loses its antibacterial effect. + ϋ In the description, it is assumed that the final cleaning operation is performed using the washing water stored in the washing tank 30. However, the 曰 曰☆ Also, this hunting is performed by the infusion of the insufficiency of the infusion; that is, the unwashed..., / Wangshui type washing operation. In this case, the injected water contains metal ions. "Water-filled cleaning operation, in the case of adding metal ions In the water, and by this it is possible to form the necessary amount of metal ions attached to, first, and on the object without reducing in the injection of Yongliu,,, Thai, the main work 1 # tested in the laundry concentration. When the emphasis is not placed, from #、々田+ ”When the genus ions are placed in the slave effect, the water of the metal ions of 89392 -40-1254757 can be suppressed to suppress the consumption of the two electrodes 113 and 114. Adding metal ions (ie, the first treatment substance) And adding a treatment agent (softener) [ie, the second treatment substance] can be selected. It may not be = any of the two addition operations - or two addition operations. When not intending to perform two kinds of addition operations At this time, the flow proceeds from step S420 to step S4 (H' and this case has been described. From now on, it will be described to add any one of the two processing substances. In the step S421, 'when the processing is intended to be added When the substance is not both metal ions and softeners, this means that only one of them is selected. In this case, the flow proceeds to step s426. In step S426, the inspection is intended to be added. Treatment f is If the metal ion field is a genus ion, the flow proceeds to step S427; if not, the flow proceeds to step S428. In the _7, the main water supply valve 5〇a is opened, so that the water flows in. The main water supply path 52a is not opened. The auxiliary water supply valve 5〇b is not opened. When the water flows through the ion elution unit, the drive circuit 120 applies a voltage to the two electrodes 113 and ι4. < between, thus eluting ions of the metal constituting the electrode into the water. When it is determined that the amount of water containing metal ions is predetermined to be (4)%, and that the amount of the pre-existing metal ion in the washing K is obtained by adding the water containing no metal ions to the set water level, The application of voltage to the two electrodes 113 and 114 is stopped. After the ion eluting unit 1 stops generating metal ions, the main water supply valve 5〇a continues to supply water until the water level in the washing tank 3〇 reaches the set water level. After ν I S427, the stream % continues to the step. Thereafter, in the same manner as in the case where 89392 -41 - 1254757 ... and the temple are simultaneously added with metal ions and a treating agent (softener), the flow proceeds from step S4; 23 (strong vortex) to step S424 (soft vortex), Then go to step S425 (powerful thief), and then to step s4〇6 (washing matter is hooked | open). It is possible to replace the gentle vortex cycle with a stationary period. In v I S426, if the treatment substance to be added is not a metal ion, the treatment is a beryllium treatment agent (softener). In this case, the flow proceeds to step S428. In v馼S428, the main water supply valve 5〇a and the sub-water supply valve 5〇b are started, and thus the main, "" water passage 52a and the sub-water supply passage 52b. However, the ion stripping unit 100 does not operate and therefore does not generate metal ions. After the sufficient amount of water causing the siphon is supplied to the treating agent chamber 55 and the "^ is introduced into the washing tub 30 by the siphon 57, the sub-feed valve 50b is closed. After the sub-feed valve 5〇b is closed; the main feed valve _ will continue to supply water, and the water will be stopped when the water level in the tank 30 reaches the set water level. After # T S428, the flow proceeds to step S423. Then, in the same way as when adding metal ions and a treatment agent (softener) to each of π, , , , and Yuntian, the process proceeds from step S423 (strong vortex) to step S424 (soft (wash and then to step) S425 (strongly full), and then to step S406 to spread evenly.

And to detect the difference in φ ^ 卜 4 out / first uneven clothing. The first "different countermeasures," is: "Entering people, ',, and seven 匕έ to the ionic water to carry out the cleaning operation for correcting the unevenness of the laundry. In this way, the "month ^ / lower" Q for performing the washing operation for the non-uniform dispersion of the strip T with the clean water supplied is to add the ink _ γ us to the water, so the resistance to the laundry The effect of 囷 treatment will not gradually decline. When using the water that is being supplied, ^^ ρΕ, the water to the ion is used to perform the cleaning operation for correcting the unevenness of the laundry. When the clothes are made, the metal ions to be added are taken. The number 1 is less than the number in the front; n 1 ^ ^ $, ^ meaning '. In this way, there is no need to make up a large amount of metal "4 and laundry; therefore, it is the ion to the metal ion to be treated yesterday. This suppresses the consumption of metal ions. Brother II "Different countermeasures, yes , ^ , w , & water containing no metal ions and agitated in order to perform the cleaning operation for the repair of P nn ^, the first uneven spread of the agricultural materials, and then the 曰 曰 / / / / notify is ^ ^ Τ ^ Τ ^ , the water in the king does not contain metal ions." Qi is using iW is washing the laundry, the sentence contains the metal ions 89392 -44- l254757, the metal of the two electrodes 113 and 114 will be consumed 2 times faster than the design time: it's fast' and there is no metal ion available. The time will come to compare the control cup I. The field hunting is done by using water without metal ions to make the whole body 2 when the laundry is unevenly distributed. In order to reduce the consumption of the scorpion, the user can, by means of the "sound message", the display or language on the 81*... board 81 is too small to notify the user, and thus the user can, % Will not achieve the expected antibacterial effect. The different countermeasures are: "Stop the dehydration rotation by detecting the fact that the positive unevenness is scattered: and/or notify the laundry that this method is used to suppress the antibacterial effect expected by the metal ion user. It is possible to obtain a washing operation that causes uneven spread: no uneven spread for the corrected laundry is performed, and the user has already occurred laundry - when detecting that the laundry is unevenly spread, it is not in the single type = imbalance. For different occasions, adjust different countermeasures. When Mai &, the accounting is to detect the laundry unevenness ^ (4) to perform the correction of the laundry; use the package ^ will consume the metal ions in a short time::: For the cleaning operation of the opening, the electrodes 113 and 1H. However, with this configuration, the metal, that is, two to correct the unevenness of the laundry, the hunting is to adapt a countermeasure to make two electric (1) ... genus water, There are many alternatives to the operation of the washing. ^ In the detection of the unevenness of the laundry, it is possible to provide the type of countermeasures and / < "Y 5 cattle multiple countermeasures, and many 4 execution orders are optional And heart 89392 -45- Ϊ254757 II.: This party & allows the user to determine what countermeasures they want is possible. Also 乂疋 - the user has priority: to maintain a high degree of antibacterial use by using abundant metal ions Effect; or priority to save metal ions.

By this, the amount of eluted metal ions per unit time becomes constant. When the mother's early time is eluted, the amount of metal ions is eluted, and it is possible to control the flow through the ion eluting unit 1 The total amount of water injected and the time of metal ion elution are used to control the concentration of metal ions in the washing tank 3; thereby, the desired metal ion concentration can be easily obtained. The current flowing between the two electrodes 1 13 1 1 4 > π AA A, , and a private I 113 and 114 is a direct current. If the current is an alternating current, the following phenomenon occurs. That is, for example, when the metal ions are all silver ions, when the polarity of the two electrodes is reversed, the silver ions eluted by the wire are returned by a reverse reaction (ie: Ag++e_-Ag). To the electrode. However, in the case of DC current, this phenomenon does not occur. On the electrode of the two electrodes 113 and 114, if it acts as a cathode, d曰" When the direct current continues to flow without reversing the polarity, as a result, the amount of fouling deposition becomes relatively large, the current is limited, and metal ion elution does not continue at a predetermined rate. Moreover, there will be a phenomenon of "one-sided consumption", where only the electrode being used as the anode will consume this at a faster rate than the other electrode. Reverse the polarity of the two electrodes (1) and 114. ^ is used for metal ion elution, so the two electrodes ιΐ3 and u4t are depleted, which finally leads to a decrease in the metal ion/King gen ion wash rate. When the two 89392 -46- 1254757 electrodes have a long period of time, the metal ion elution rate becomes unstable, so that the expected metal ion elution rate is not obtained. Therefore, the ion-washing unit 100 is replaced. And when the expiration of the two electrodes 113 and the expiration date, it can be replaced with a new product. Moreover, the user is notified via the operation/display panel 81 of the fact that the use of the two electrodes 113 and 114 is almost expired. Therefore, a number of appropriate countermeasures should be adapted, such as replacing the ion eluting unit 100.
