The washing and drying machine 10 is capable of carrying out "laundry" and "rushing" The various processes of "washing", "dehydration", and "drying" are selectively combined and automatically operated. The washing and drying machine 10 is provided as an automatic operation, and has a washing operation mainly for performing laundry work, a washing and drying operation mainly for performing laundry and drying processes, and a drying operation mainly for drying. As shown in FIG. 5, the user selects the desired one by operating the "wash" button 611, the "launder drying" button 612, and the "drying" button 613 provided at the operation panel 13. Automatic operation. In this case, if the "washing" key 611 is operated, the washing operation is selected, and if the "laundry drying" key 612 is operated, the washing and drying operation is selected, and if the "drying" key 613 is operated, the system is operated. Choose the drying operation.

In each automatic operation, a plurality of strokes are respectively set. The so-called itinerary is used to set the combination and time of each of the "laundry", "flushing", "dehydration", and "drying" projects to the manufacturer within the range of the selected automatic operation content. The recommended content is either for the user to make any changes. The user selects the desired itinerary from each of the strokes displayed on the stroke display unit 62. For example, in the present embodiment, during the "washing" operation, the "standard" stroke and the "fragrance" stroke are set to have other plural types of strokes.

Next, explain the "standard" itinerary and the "fragrance" itinerary.

The "standard" itinerary and the "fragrance" itinerary are based on the respective settings shown in Fig. 6. In this case, depending on the weight of the laundry, "large weight", "medium weight", and "small weight" are set. In the third stage of the volume, it is the three stages of "high", "medium" and "low" in terms of flushing water level. The “Standard” itinerary is a standard washing operator recommended by the manufacturer for each of the washing operations. In the "standard" itinerary, as shown in Fig. 6, the detailed setting values in each project, such as the flushing water level or the final treatment agent input water level, the flushing time, etc., are set as standard standards as standard specifications. Set the content. On the other hand, the "fragrance" stroke is to achieve an operator for enhancing the aromatization effect by the final treatment agent. In the "Fengxiang" itinerary, the detailed setting values in each project are set as the fragrant specifications based on the set values of the standard specifications.

The specific control content is also described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9. Here, the case where the washing operation is performed by selecting one of the "standard" stroke or the "fragrance" stroke will be described. The user inputs power to the washer-dryer 10 (turns on the power) by operating the "power" key 63 of the operation panel 13 shown in FIG. Thereafter, the user sets various operations or stroke contents by operating the operation panel 13, that is, setting a "standard" stroke or a "fragrance" stroke.

In the washing operation, the laundry, the rinsing, and the dewatering are performed one or more times. In this case, the final rinsing process performed in the rinsing process that will be performed plural times is called the final rinsing process. In this final flushing process, the control device 16 presses the final treatment agent contained in the final treatment agent storage portion 312 of the casing 31 to the water tank 19 by controlling the water supply input device 30. Inside, after that, the washing of the laundry is carried out. Further, the dewatering process performed at the last of the dehydration works that will be performed plural times is referred to as a final dewatering project. Further, the dewatering process performed immediately before the final flushing process in the dewatering process which will be performed plural times is referred to as the final pre-rinsing dewatering project.

As shown in Fig. 7, in general, when the power supply is turned on (power on), the control device 16 waits until the "start" key 64 is operated (step S11, NO). The user operates the "wash" button 611 and selects the "standard" stroke or the "fragrance" stroke of the washing operation, and then operates the "start" button 64. When the "start" key 64 is operated (YES in step S11), the control unit 16 proceeds to step S12 and detects the weight of the laundry. The detection of the weight of the laundry is carried out, for example, as follows. That is, the control device 16 drives the motor 211 and rotates the rotary groove 18. Thereafter, the control device 16 detects the weight of the laundry in the rotary tub 18 by detecting the current or the rotational speed of the motor 211 which is changed in accordance with the load amount of the laundry in the rotary tub 18.

Next, the control device 16 determines in step S13 that the laundry weight detected in step S12 is in the three stages of "large weight", "medium weight", and "small weight" shown in FIG. In which stage, the flushing water level in the flushing process is set according to this. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, generally, the control device 16 sets the flushing water level to Wh [L] when the laundry weight is large, and flushes the water level when it is the medium weight. Set to Wm [L], when it is a small weight In the case, it is set to Wl [L]. Further, Wh, Wm, and Wl are values specific to the model set by the washer-dryer 10, and the relationship is Wh>Wm>Wl.

Thereafter, the control device 16 proceeds to step S14 to close the drain valve 231, and opens the first water supply valve 34 to supply water into the water tank 19. The water from the external water source passes through the first water supply valve 34 through the lotion storage portion 311 of the casing 31 and is supplied into the water tank 19. At this time, the lotion contained in the lotion accommodating portion 311 of the casing 31 is dissolved by the water discharged from the first water supply valve 34, and is put into the water tank 19.

Next, the control device 16 moves to step S15 and executes the laundry process. In the washing course, the control device 16 controls the driving device 21 and relatively rotates the rotary tub 18 and the agitating body 20 at a low speed. Thereby, a water flow is generated in the water tank 19, and the laundry is performed by stirring the laundry in the rotary tank 18.

When the control device 16 ends the laundry process, the process proceeds to step S16, and the drain valve 231 is opened to drain the washing water stored in the water tank 19. Next, the control device 16 proceeds to step S17 and executes the first dehydration process. In the first dehydration process, the control device 16 rotates the rotating tank 18 and the agitating body 20 at a high speed to perform dehydration of the laundry.

Next, the control device 16 proceeds to step S18 and executes the first flushing process. When the first flushing operation is performed, the control device 16 closes the drain valve 231 and opens the first water supply valve 34. Water is supplied into the water tank 19. Thereafter, if the water in the water tank 19 reaches the specific flushing water level, the control device 16 controls the driving device 21 and rotates the rotating groove 18 at a low speed. Thereby, the rotary tank 18 and the agitating body 20 are relatively rotated at a low speed, and the washing of the laundry is performed by stirring the laundry in the rotary tank 18.

In the first flushing process of this step S18, the flushing water level, the flushing time, and the stirring time are set to the same values as the flushing water level, the flushing time, and the stirring time in the final flushing process of the standard stroke shown in FIG. . In this case, the so-called stirring time shown in FIG. 6 is, for example, 10"/1', which means that the rotary tank 18 is continuously or intermittently performed for 10 seconds in one minute. In addition, Th, Tm, and Tl [sec] are the values specified for the model of the washer-dryer 10, respectively, and the relationship is such that Th>Tm>Tl. Then, control The device 16 moves to step S19 and opens the drain valve 231 to drain the wash water stored in the water tank 19.

Next, the control device 16 proceeds to step S20 and proceeds to the automatic operation that is currently being performed. In this case, it is the washing operation that is currently being performed, and it is determined whether or not the "fragrance" stroke has been selected. When the control device 16 has not selected the "scented" stroke (NO in step S20), it is determined that the "standard" stroke has been selected, and the process proceeds to step S21.

If the process proceeds to step S21, the control device 16 moves to the standard stroke operation (standard specification) of Fig. 8, and executes the subsequent items based on the setting contents of the "standard specifications" shown in Fig. 6. in particular, In step S30, the control device 16 determines which of the set water levels set for the automatic operation is "high", "medium", or "low". When the water level system is set to "high", the control device 16 executes steps S311 to S314 of FIG. 8 based on the respective settings of "high (large weight)" in the standard specifications of FIG. In addition, when the water level system is set to "medium", the control device 16 executes steps S321 to S324 of FIG. 8 based on the respective setting contents of "medium (medium weight)" in the standard specifications of FIG. In addition, when the water level system is set to "low", the control device 16 executes steps S331 to S334 of FIG. 8 based on the respective settings of "low (small weight)" in the standard specifications of FIG.

Here, in the case where the water level is set to "high", "medium", or "low", the basic actions are the same. Therefore, the description will be made in parallel for each of the set water levels, and when it is described as common in each set water level, the step number S is common in the general manner of, for example, step S3X1. Sign. In this case, if the set water level is "high", it is X = 1. If the set water level is "medium", it is X = 2, and if the set water level is "low", it is X = 3.

When the control device 16 determines that the set water level is determined in step S30, the process proceeds to step S3X1, and the final pre-rinsing dehydration process is performed. The control device 16 is the same as the other dehydration works, and the rotating tank 18 and the agitating body 20 are integrally rotated at a high speed to perform dehydration of the laundry. In this case, whether the water level is set to "high", In the case of "medium" or "low", the rotational speed of the rotary groove 18, that is, the spin-drying speed, is 900 [rpm]. Further, the dehydration time is set to 8'00" when the water level is set to "high" (step S311), and is set to 6'30" when the water level is set to "medium" (step S312). When the water level is set to "low" (step S313), it is set to 5'00".

Next, the control device 16 proceeds to step S3X2 and performs a final flushing process. In the final flushing process, the control device 16 first closes the drain valve 231 and opens the first water supply valve 34. Thereby, water is supplied to the inside of the water tank 19, and rinse water is stored in the water tank 19.

Thereafter, when the water level sensor 25 detects that the water in the water tank 19 has reached the final treatment agent input level by the water level sensor 25, the control unit 16 further opens the second water supply valve 35. Thereby, the final treatment agent disposed in the final treatment agent storage portion 312 of the casing 31 is put into the water tank 19. When the final treatment agent is put into the water level, when the water level is set to "high" (step S312), it is set to Wh-5[L], and when the water level is set to "medium" (step S322), it is set to Wm-5 [L], when the water level is set to "low" (step S332), it is set to Wl-5 [L].

Thereafter, if the water in the water tank 19 reaches the flushing water level, the control device 16 rotates the rotating tank 18 and the stirring body 20 at a low speed in the same manner as the other flushing processes, and the washing in the stirring rotary tank 18 is performed. Things. By this, the washing of the laundry is carried out. In this case, whether it is In the case where the water level is set to "high", "medium", or "low", the spin-drying speed of the rotary groove 18 is 60 [rpm]. Further, when the water level is set to "high" (step S312), the flush water level is set to Wh [L], and when the water level is set to "medium" (step S322), it is set to Wm [L]. When the water level is set to "low" (step S332), it is set to Wl [L].

Further, the flushing time is set to Th[s] when the water level is set to "high" (step S312), and is set to Tm[s] when the water level is set to "medium" (step S322). When the water level is set to "low" (step S332), it is set to Tl[s]. Further, the stirring time is set to 10"/1' when the water level is set to "high" (step S312), and is set to 8"/ when the water level is set to "medium" (step S322). 1', when the water level is set to "low" (step S332), it is set to 6"/1'.

When the final flushing operation is completed, the control device 16 proceeds to step S3X3, and opens the drain valve 231 to drain the flush water in the water tank 19. Thereafter, the control device 16 moves to step S3X4 and performs a final dewatering process. In the final dewatering process, the control unit 16 performs the dewatering process by the same set values as before the final flushing. In other words, the dehydration rotation speed is 900 [rpm] in the case where the set water level is "high", "medium", or "low". Further, the dehydration time is set to 8'00" when the water level is set to "high" (step S314), and is set to 6'30" when the water level is set to "medium" (step S324). When setting the water level to "low" (step In the case of S334), it is set to 5'00". Thereafter, if the final dehydration process is completed (return of Fig. 8), the control device 16 ends the washing operation (the end of Fig. 7).

On the other hand, when the "fuming" stroke is selected during the washing operation (YES in step S20 of Fig. 7), the control device 16 proceeds to step S22. If the process proceeds to step S22, the control unit 16 moves to the scent stroke operation (aroma specification) of Fig. 9, and performs subsequent processes based on the setting contents of the scent specification shown in Fig. 6. This scent stroke operation is performed at the point where the respective steps of the standard stroke operation shown in FIG. 8 are performed in accordance with the scenting specification shown in FIG. 6, and the warm air supply project is added in step S4X2. It is different from the standard stroke operation.

In addition, the same as the standard stroke operation, the scent stroke operation, regardless of whether the water level is set to "high", "medium", or "low", the basic operations of each project are the same.

When the control device 16 determines that the set water level is determined in step S40, the process proceeds to step S4X1, and the final pre-rinsing dewatering process is performed in the same manner as step S3X1 of Fig. 8 . In the final pre-rinsing dewatering process, the control unit 16 sets the rotational speed of the rotary tank 18 to a high speed as compared with the standard specifications. In this case, the dehydration rotation speed of the final rinsing process is 1000 [rpm] in the case of the standard specification, and 1000 [rpm] in the case of the scent specification.

Moreover, in the final pre-rinsing dewatering project, the control device 16 sets the dehydration time in response to the set water level as compared with the standard specification. For a long time. In this case, when the water level of the final flushing process in the standard specification is set to "high" (step S311), the setting is 8'00", and when the water level is set to "medium" (step S321) In the case of the case, it is set to 6'30", and when the water level is set to "low" (step S331), it is set to 5'00". On the other hand, the dehydration of the final flushing process in the aroma specification The time is set to 9'00" when the water level is set to "High" (step S411), and is set to 7'30" when the water level is set to "Medium" (step S421). When the water level is "low" (step S431), it is set to 5'30".

Next, the control device 16 proceeds to step S4X2 and executes the warm air supply project. When the warm air supply project is executed, the control device 16 drives the warm air supply device 50 and supplies warm air to the rotary tub 18 and the water tank 19. Thereby, the laundry in the rotary tank 18 is heated. In this case, when the temperature of the warm air supply project is set to "high" (step S412), it is set to 10'00", and when the water level is set to "medium" (step S422), It is set to 8'00", and when the water level is set to "low" (step S432), it is set to 6'00". In this case, the warm air supply device 50 is rotated as before the final flushing operation. The heating means for warming the laundry in the tank 18 functions.

Next, the control device 16 moves to step S4X3 and performs a final flushing process. In this case, the control device 16 is an input to the water tank 19 of the final treatment agent by the water supply input device 30. It is carried out from a lower water level than in the case of standard specifications. That is, the final treatment agent in the final rinsing process in the scenting specification is put into the water level, which is set to a lower water level than in the case of the standard specification. In this case, the final treatment agent is put into the water level, and is set according to the set water level. When the water level is set to "high" (step S413), it is set to Wh-20[L], and when the water level is set to "medium" In the case of (step S423), it is set to Wm-15 [L]. When the water level is set to "low" (step S433), the final treatment agent is charged simultaneously with the water supply (step S433).

Further, the control device 16 changes the flushing water level, the flushing time, the flushing rotational speed, and the stirring time in accordance with the standard specification in response to the set water level. In this case, as shown in Fig. 6, generally, the flushing water level is lowered, and the flushing time is increased, and the flushing rotational speed is set to a low speed, and the stirring time is shortened, compared to the standard specification. That is, in the scenting specification, the flushing water level of the final flushing process is set to Wh-10[L] when the water level is set to "high" (step S413), and the water level is set to "medium" ( In the case of step S423), it is set to Wm-7[L], and when the water level is set to "low" (step S433), it is set to Wl-5[L].

Further, in the scenting specification, when the water level is set to "high" (step S413), the rinsing time of the final rinsing process is set to Th + 10' 00", and when the water level is set to "medium" (step S423) In the case of the case, it is set to Tm+5'00", and when the water level is set to "low" (step S433), it is set to Tl+3'00". In the case where the water level of the final flushing process is set to "high" (step S413), "medium" (step S423), and "low" (step S433), the rotation speed is set to 40 [rpm]. Further, in the scenting specification, the stirring time of the final rinsing process is set to 6"/1' when the water level is set to "high" (step S413), and the water level is set to "medium" (step S423). In the case of the case, it is set to 4"/1', and when the water level is set to "low" (step S433), it is set to 2"/1'.

When the final flushing operation is completed, the control device 16 proceeds to step S4X4, and similarly to step S3X3 of Fig. 8, the drain valve 231 is opened to drain the flush water in the water tank 19. Thereafter, the control device 16 proceeds to step S4X5 and performs a final dewatering process. In the final dewatering process, the control device 16 sets the dehydration rotation speed to a lower speed than the standard specification, and shortens the dehydration time in response to setting the water level. That is, in the scenting specification, the number of dehydration rotations of the final dewatering project is set to "high" (step S415), "medium" (step S425), and "low" (step S435). In the case, it is set to 800 [rpm], and is lower than 900 [rpm] in the standard specification. Further, in the scenting specification, the dehydration time of the final dewatering process is set to 7'00" when the water level is set to "high" (step S415), and the water level is set to "medium" (step S425). In the case of the case, it is set to 5'30", and when the water level is set to "low" (step S435), it is set to 4'30". Thereafter, the control device 16 ends if the final dewatering project ends (Fig. 8 ), the end of the wash Polyester operation (end of Figure 7).

According to this, the washing and drying machine 10 has a standard stroke for operating in accordance with the standard specifications recommended by the manufacturer, and an emphasis on the fragrance caused by the final treatment agent. The specifications are used to perform the aroma stroke. Further, the control device 16 can selectively perform the standard stroke and the scenting stroke for the automatic operation. That is, the user can arbitrarily select a standard stroke or an aroma stroke for automatic operation. Therefore, the user can easily impart a favorite aroma to the laundry by selecting the scenting stroke for the automatic operation. As a result, the user can feel the aroma effect of the final treatment agent more strongly.

In this case, the control device 16 performs the final flushing process (step S4X2) in the aroma specification (fragrance stroke) compared to the final rinse process (step S3X2) in the standard specification (standard stroke). Longer time. That is, in the final rinsing process, the rinsing time of the scenting specification (fuming stroke) is longer than the rinsing time of the standard specification (standard stroke). According to this, in the final rinsing process of the scenting stroke, it is possible to ensure a longer time for the immersion time of the final treatment agent for the laundry than for the standard stroke. Therefore, in the scenting stroke, the final treatment agent can be sufficiently adhered to the laundry as compared with the standard stroke, and as a result, the aroma effect of the final treatment agent can be more highly exerted.

The flushing water level in the final flushing process (steps S3X2, S4X3) is compared to the standard specification (standard stroke). The trip is the lower water level. According to this, in the final rinsing process of the scenting stroke, the concentration of the final treating agent can be further improved compared to the standard stroke. Therefore, in the scenting stroke, the final treatment agent can be sufficiently adhered to the laundry as compared with the standard stroke, and as a result, the aroma effect of the final treatment agent can be more highly exerted.

The spin-drying rotation speed of the rotary tank 18 in the final dewatering process (steps S3X4, S4X5) is lower than that of the standard specification (standard stroke). Further, in the final dewatering process (steps S3X4, S4X5), the dehydration time is shorter than the standard specification (standard stroke), which is based on the aroma specification (fuming stroke). According to such a setting, when the scented stroke is selected, it is possible to suppress the discharge of the water containing the final treatment agent from the laundry more than necessary in the final dewatering process. Therefore, in the scenting stroke, the final treatment agent can be sufficiently left on the laundry as compared with the standard stroke, and as a result, the aroma effect of the final treatment agent can be more highly exerted.

In the final flushing process (steps S3X2, S4X3), the final treatment agent is put into the water level. Compared with the standard specification (standard stroke), the water level is the lower the water level. According to this, when the scented stroke is selected, the final treatment agent can be more efficiently immersed in the final rinsing process by putting the final treatment agent from a lower water level than the standard specification. To the laundry. As a result, the aroma effect of the final treatment agent can be exhibited more highly.

Spin in the dewatering project (steps S3X1, S4X1) before final rinsing The spin-drying speed of the rotary groove 18 is higher than that of the standard specification (standard stroke). Further, the dehydration time in the dewatering process (steps S3X1, S4X1) before the final rinsing is longer than the standard specification (standard stroke) in the scenting specification (fuming stroke). According to such settings, when the scented stroke is selected, the dewatering rate of the laundry can be improved in the dewatering process before the final rinsing. Therefore, in the case of the scented stroke, the water absorption of the laundry in the final rinsing process can be improved as compared with the case of the standard stroke. Thereby, in the final rinsing process, more final treatment agent can be impregnated into the laundry, and as a result, the aroma effect of the final treatment agent can be more highly exerted.

The washing and drying machine 10 is provided with a warm air supply device 50 as a heating means for warming the laundry in the rotary tub 18 before the final flushing process (step S4X3) in the flavoring stroke. That is, the control device 16 drives the warm air supply device 50 by performing the warm air supply process (step S4X2) before the final flushing process (step S4X3) is performed, when the scented stroke is selected. Thereby, warm air is supplied to the inside of the rotation tank 18, and the laundry in the rotation tank 18 is heated. According to this, the chemical reaction of the final treatment agent in the final rinsing process can be promoted by warming the laundry before the final rinsing process (step S4X3). As a result, the aroma effect of the final treatment agent can be exhibited more highly.

In this case, the washing and drying machine 10 can also be provided in place of the warm air supply device 50, and is provided in the final flushing process (step S4X3). A warm water supply means for supplying warm water in the water tank 19. That is, the final flushing process can also be performed with warm water (step S4X3). According to this, by heating the laundry in the final flushing process (step S4X3), it is possible to promote the chemical reaction of the final treating agent in the final flushing process. As a result, the aroma effect of the final treatment agent can be exhibited more highly.

The stirring time in the final rinsing process (steps S3X2, S4X3) is shorter than the standard specification (standard stroke) in the scenting specification (fuming stroke). Further, in the final flushing process (steps S3X2, S4X3), the flushing rotational speed of the rotary tank 18 is lower than that of the standard specification (standard stroke). According to such settings, when the rinsing time of the final rinsing process is increased due to the implementation of the scenting stroke, the damage to the laundry caused by the agitation can be reduced, and the immersion can be obtained. effect. Further, even when the rinsing time of the final rinsing process is increased due to the execution of the scenting stroke, the increase in the load of the motor 211 can be suppressed.

(Second embodiment)

Next, the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 10 to 13 .

In the first embodiment, the washer-dryer 10 is provided as an automatic operation, and has a "fragrance" stroke that pays attention to the fragrance imparted by the final treatment agent. According to this, the user, for example, in "laundry" During the operation, by selecting the "fragrance" stroke, it is possible to perform a laundry operation that pays attention to the aroma effect. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, for example, the "aroma level" is set for a stroke other than the "scented" stroke of the "搓揉" stroke or the "blanket" stroke, and the "aroma degree" is set. The aroma effect caused by the final treatment agent works more effectively.

In the second embodiment, the washing and drying machine 10 has a degree of aroma of 2 or more for the aroma specification. That is, the washer-dryer 10 has a two-stage aroma degree of "strong" and "weak" for the scenting specification as shown in Fig. 11. The degree of aroma is "strong", which is a specification that gives a higher degree of aroma effect by the final treatment agent than the standard specification. The degree of aroma is "weak", which is a specification that suppresses the aroma effect although the aroma effect is higher than the standard specification but is stronger than the aroma.

As shown generally in Fig. 10, at the operation panel 13, a "aroma level" key 65 is provided. The user selects an arbitrary stroke such as a "standard" stroke or a "搓揉" stroke for the automatic operation, and then operates the "aroma level" key 65. In this manner, in response to the number of operations of the "aroma level" key 65, the lighting system of the "strong" display portion 661 and the "weak" display portion 662 which is the display portion for displaying the degree of aroma is switched. When the "strong" display unit 661 is lighting, the degree of aroma is "strong", and when the "weak" display unit 662 is lighting, the degree of aroma is "weak". Further, when the "strong" display portion 661 and the "weak" display portion 662 are not lit, the aroma The degree is not chosen. In this case, the "aroma level" key 65 functions as a means for changing the "degree of aroma" which is composed of two or more degrees.

The user inputs the power of the washing and drying machine 10 (power on), sets the automatic operation, the stroke, and the "aroma level", and then operates the "start" key 64. As shown in Fig. 12, generally, when the "start" key 64 is operated, the control device 16 executes steps S11 to S19 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Then, the control device 16 determines in step S50 whether or not the "aroma level" is set. When the "degree of aroma" is not set (NO in step S50), the control device 16 proceeds to step S51. Thereafter, the control unit 16 executes the items relating to the currently set automatic operation stroke by the standard specifications shown in FIG. For example, when the automatic operation and the stroke set are the "standard" stroke of the "laundry" operation, the content of the project is the "standard" stroke shown in Fig. 8 of the first embodiment. the same.

On the other hand, the control device 16 is generally as shown in Fig. 12. If it is determined in step S50 that "aroma level" (YES) is set, the process proceeds to step S52. Thereafter, the control device 16 executes the items shown in FIG. 13 based on the setting contents of "strong" or "weak" of the "fragrance specification" shown in FIG.

Here, the "strong" and "weak" aroma levels are set as shown in Fig. 11, and are set separately for each of the water levels "high", "medium", and "low" in the standard specifications. . But whether it is In the case where the water level is "high", "medium", or "low", and the case where the degree of aroma is "strong" or "weak", the basic actions are the same. Therefore, the description of the difference in each set water level will be omitted. In addition, the description will be made in parallel for each of the projects in the respective aroma levels, and when it is described as common in the respective aroma levels, the step number S is common in the general manner of, for example, step S5XY1. Sign. In this case, if the degree of aroma is "strong", it is Y = 1, and if the degree of aroma is "weak", it is Y = 2. In addition, when the water level is set to "high", it is X = 1. When the water level is set to "medium", it is X = 2, and when the water level is set to "low", it is X. =3, this is the same as the first embodiment described above.

When it is determined in step S50 that the degree of aroma is "strong", the control device 16 executes steps S5X11 to S5X15, and if it is determined that the degree of aroma is "weak", steps S5X21 to S5X25 are executed.

In step S5XY1, the control device 16 performs the final pre-rinsing dehydration process in the same manner as step S4X1 shown in Fig. 9 of the first embodiment. In the final pre-rinsing dewatering project, the control device 16 is generally as shown in Fig. 11. For the set values in the set water levels of the standard specifications, the "strong" and "weak" degrees of the aroma are uniform. The spin rotation speed of the rotary tank 18 is increased and the dehydration time is increased. In this case, the dehydration rotation speed is "weak" compared to the case where the aroma degree is "weak", and the case where the degree of aroma is "strong" is higher. Moreover, the dehydration time is compared with the case where the degree of aroma is "weak", and the degree of aroma is The "strong" situation is longer.

That is, in the dewatering process before the final rinsing, the dehydration rotation speed is "strong" (step S5X11), the standard specification is +100 [rpm], and the aroma degree is "weak" (step In the case of S5X21), the standard specification is +50 [rpm]. In addition, in the dewatering process before the final rinsing, the dehydration time is "strong" (step S5X11), the standard specification is +2'00", and the aroma degree is "weak" (step S5X21). In the case of the standard specification +1 '00".

Next, in step S5XY2, the control device 16 performs the warm air supply project in the same manner as step S4X2 shown in FIG. 9 of the first embodiment. In this warm air supply project, the control device 16 is generally set as shown in Fig. 11, and is consistent with the "strong" and "weak" degrees of aroma in the set water levels in the standard specifications. The operating time of the warm wind supply project is increased. When the temperature of the warm air supply project is "strong" (step S5X12), the standard temperature is +10'00", and when the aroma degree is "weak" (step S5X22), It is a standard specification +6'00". In this case, since the warm air supply project is not implemented in the standard specifications, the standard specification is 0'00".

Next, in step S5XY3, the control device 16 performs the final flushing process in the same manner as step S4X3 shown in Fig. 9 of the first embodiment. In this final flushing process, the control device 16, as shown in Fig. 11, generally applies the set values in the set water levels of the standard specifications to the "strong" and "weak" degrees of the aroma. The flushing water level and the final treatment agent input water level are lowered, and the flushing time is increased, and will be washed The washing rotation speed is set to a low speed, and the stirring time is shortened. In this case, the flushing water level and the final treatment agent are put into the water level, which is lower when the degree of aroma is "weak" compared to the case where the degree of aroma is "weak". The flushing speed is lower than the case where the aroma level is "weak", and the degree of aroma is "strong". The stirring time is shorter when the aroma degree is "weak" compared to the case where the aroma degree is "weak".

That is, in the final flushing process, the flushing water level is "strong" (step S5X13), and the standard is -7 [L], and the degree of aroma is "weak" (step S5X23). In the case of the standard specification -5 [L]. Further, in the final flushing process, the final treatment agent is put into the water level, and when the degree of aroma is "strong" (step S5X13), the standard specification is -15 [L], and the degree of aroma is "weak" (step S5X23). In the case of the standard specification -10 [L]. In addition, in the final flushing process, when the aroma level is "strong" (step S5X13), the standard is +8'00", and when the aroma degree is "weak" (step S5X23). , is the standard specification +5'00".

In the final rinsing process, the rinsing rotation speed is "strong" (step S5X13), and the standard specification is -20 [rpm], and the degree of aroma is "weak" (step S5X23). The standard specification is -10 [rpm]. In addition, in the final rinsing process, when the aroma level is "strong" (step S5X13), it is (standard size - 4") / 1', and the degree of aroma is "weak" (step) In the case of step S5X23), it is (standard specification - 2") / 1'.

Next, the control device 16 performs drainage in the same manner as step S4X4 shown in FIG. 9 of the first embodiment in step S5XY4. Thereafter, the control device 16 performs the final dehydration process in the same manner as step S4X5 shown in FIG. 9 of the first embodiment in step S5XY5. In this final dewatering project, the control device 16, as shown in Fig. 11, generally applies the set values in the set water levels of the standard specifications to the "strong" and "weak" degrees of the aroma. The spin rotation speed is set to low speed, and the spin time is set to a short time. In this case, the dehydration rotation speed is "weak" compared to the case where the aroma degree is "weak", and when the degree of aroma is "strong", the speed is lower. In addition, when the dehydration time is "weak" compared to the degree of aroma, it is shorter when the degree of aroma is "strong".

In other words, in the final flushing process, the dehydration rotation speed is "strong" (step S5X15), the standard specification is -100 [rpm], and the aroma degree is "weak" (step S5X25). In the case of the standard specification -50 [rpm]. In addition, when the degree of aroma is "strong" (step S5X15), it is a standard specification -2'30", and when the degree of aroma is "weak" (step S5X25), it is a standard specification + 2'00".

According to this, the same operational effects as those of the first embodiment described above can be obtained. Further, the user can select the preferred degree of aroma from the degree of aroma in a plurality of stages (in this case, two stages). Therefore, it is possible to give the laundry a preference for being closer to the user. Aroma. Further, even in a course other than the "fragrance" stroke such as the "搓揉" stroke or the "rubber" stroke, it is possible to easily impart aroma to the laundry.

(Third embodiment)

Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 14 to 17 .

In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the washing and drying machine 10 is provided with a water supply device 30 as a water supply means and an input means. On the other hand, in the third embodiment, the washing and drying machine 10 is provided with a water supply device 71 as a water supply means instead of the water supply device 30, and an input device 72 is provided as an input means. The water supply device 71 is not shown in the detailed description. However, the water supply device 30 shown in FIG. 4 does not include the final treatment agent storage unit 312 and the second water supply valve 35. Therefore, in the third embodiment, the washing and drying machine 10 is not provided with the second water supply valve 35 as shown in Fig. 15 .

The input device 72 is detachably provided at the inner peripheral side of the rotary groove 18 as shown in FIG. The input device 72 is introduced into the water tank 19 by the action of the centrifugal force during dehydration of the final treatment agent contained in the input device 72. In this case, if the centrifugal force generated by the dehydration is applied twice by the input device 72, the final treatment agent contained in the input device 72 is put into the water tank 19.

Specifically, the input device 72 is generally as shown in FIG. The entire circumference is formed in a flat container shape along the inner circumferential side surface of the rotary groove 18. In this case, with respect to the paper surface of Fig. 16, the right front side is the rotation center direction of the rotary groove 18, and the deep left side is the centrifugal direction of the rotary groove 18. The inside of the input device 72 is divided into a first chamber 721, a second chamber 722, and a third chamber 723. The first chamber 721 is provided at an upper portion on the rotation center side of the input device 72. The second chamber 722 is provided above the input device 72 and at the centrifugal side with respect to the first chamber 721. The third chamber 723 is adjacent to the first chamber 721 in the circumferential direction, and is provided at the center side with respect to the second chamber 722. The third chamber 723 is provided to cover the entire upper and lower directions of the input device 72. That is, the bottom of the third chamber 723 is located lower than the bottom of the first chamber 721 and the second chamber 722.

A connecting portion 724 is formed in a wall portion that partitions the first chamber 721 from the second chamber 722. The first chamber 721 and the second chamber 722 are connected to each other by the communication portion 724. Further, the second chamber 722 and the third chamber 723 are connected to each other by the communication path 725. An inlet port 726 is provided in the wall portion of the third chamber 723 in the centrifugal direction. The inlet 726 is connected to the water tank 19.
