본 발명은 세탁기 유연제 투입장치에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 세탁기 세탁공정 중 마지막 헴굼 공정을 시작하기 전에 유연제 보관 케이스에 저장된 유연제 중 일정량의 유연제를 세탁기의 세탁조에 투입할 수 있도록 한 세탁기의 유연제 투입 장치 및 그 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a washing machine softening agent input device, and more particularly, to a softening agent of a washing machine in which a predetermined amount of softening agent of the softening agent stored in the softening agent storage case is added to the washing tank before starting the last hem process in the washing machine washing process. An apparatus and a method thereof are provided.
일반적으로 가정이나 세탁소 등에서 사용되는 세탁기는 세탁공정과 헹굼공정 및 탈수공정을 수행하여 하나의 세탁공정을 실행하도록 되어 있다. 즉 종래의 세탁기는 세탁공정만을 수행하도록 되어 있었으며, 세탁기와는 별도로 탈수공정을 수행하는 탈수기가 구성되어 있었다. 이에 따른 불편함을 해소하기 위하여 등장한 세탁기에서는 세탁공정과 헹굼공정을 수행함은 물론이고 탈수공정까지도 수행하도록 되어 있어 별도의 탈수기를 필요로 하지 않는 편리함이 있었다. 그러나 상기한 바와 같은 세탁기에서는 세탁, 헹굼, 탈수공정을 하나의 세탁기에서 모두 수행할뿐 세탁에 필요한 물이나 세제 및 유연제의 투입 및 급수를 수동에 의하여 처리해야 하므로 세탁을 하는 동안 에는 세탁기 곁을 떠나지 못하고 세탁기 곁에서 물의 급수와 세제 및 유연제의 투입을 수행해야 하는 번거로움이 있었다.In general, a washing machine used in a home or laundry is to perform a washing process by performing a washing process, a rinsing process, and a dehydration process. In other words, the conventional washing machine was designed to perform only a washing process, and a dehydrator was configured to perform a dehydration process separately from the washing machine. In order to solve this inconvenience, the washing machine appeared to perform a washing process and a rinsing process as well as to perform a dehydration process, so that there was a convenience that does not require a separate dehydrator. However, in the washing machine as described above, washing, rinsing, and dehydration are all performed in one washing machine. Therefore, the washing and rinsing and dehydration processes must be performed by manual treatment of water, detergent, and softener necessary for washing and leaving the washing machine while washing. There was a hassle of having to perform water supply of water and detergent and softener by the washing machine.
이중 물의 급수는 세탁기의 기능이 수동에 의한 선택으로 동작함은 물론이고 미리 설정된 프로그램에 의하여 동작할 수 있도록 발전함에 따라 설정된 프로그램 중 일부가 세탁기의 세탁조에 급수되는 물을 자동 제어하여 공급하도록 되어 있다.The water supply of the double water is developed by the function of the washing machine by manual selection as well as by the pre-set program, so that some of the set program is to automatically control the water supplied to the washing tank of the washing machine. .
또한 이에 대응하여 물과 더불어 세탁조에 투입되는 세제도 자동으로 세탁조에 투입되도록 되어 있는데, 이는 세탁기의 상부에 세탁에 필요한 세제를 담을 수 있는 세제통을 설치하고, 설치된 세제통에 담겨진 세제를 세탁기가 세탁공정을 수행하기전에 물과 함께 세탁조에 투입하도록 되어 있다. 그러나 이와같은 세제투입장치는 기계적인 구성에만 의존하여 구성되어 있기 때문에 오동작하는 경우가 빈번하게 발생하며, 가루성분인 세제가 투입장치에 끼어 세제가 제대로 투입되지 못하는 경우가 발생하기 때문에 대부분의 수요자는 투입장치를 사용하지 않고 세제를 수동으로 공급하여 세탁을 실시하거나, 최초 세탁공정을 시작하기 전에 세제를 한번 투입하고 모든 세탁공정을 수행하는 경우가 있었다.In addition, in addition to the water detergent to be put into the washing tank is also automatically put in the washing tank, which is installed in the upper part of the washing machine to put the detergent for washing detergent, the washing machine in the washing process It is intended to be placed in a washing bath with water before carrying out the process. However, these detergent dosing devices are frequently malfunctioned because they are configured only on the mechanical configuration, and most consumers do not properly put detergent because powdered detergent is stuck in the input device. In some cases, washing was performed by manually supplying detergent without using an input device, or detergent was added once and all washing processes were performed before starting the initial washing process.
특히 세탁한 의류에서 발생하기 쉬운 정전기를 방지하고 세탁물을 보다 부드럽게 하기 위하여 세탁공정 중 마지막 헹굼공정에 투입하는 유연제는 세탁기에는 별도의 투입장치가 구성되어 있지 않기 때문에 사용자의 취향에 따라 동작중인 세탁기의 세탁공정을 지켜보고 세탁기가 마지막 헹굼공정을 수행하기 전에 세탁기를 일시 정지시킨 후 세탁기 도어를 열고 세탁조에 유연제를 투입해야 번거로움이 있었다.In particular, the softener to be put into the last rinsing process during the washing process to prevent static electricity, which is likely to occur in the washed clothes, and to make the laundry softer. After watching the washing process and before the washing machine performs the final rinsing process, the washing machine had to be paused and then the washing machine door was opened and softener was put into the washing tank.
이와같은 동작은 프로그램에 의하여 세탁공정을 수행하는 세탁기가 어느 지점에서 마지막 헹굼공정을 시작하는지 알기가 어려울뿐만 아니라, 이를 알기 위해서는 세탁기 곁에서 세탁과정을 계속해서 지켜보아야 하는 것이다.This operation is not only difficult to know at which point the washing machine which performs the washing process by the program starts the last rinsing process, but in order to know this, it is necessary to continuously watch the washing process by the washing machine.
또한 세탁조에 투입되는 유연제를 세탁공정을 계속해서 수행하기 위하여 짧은 시간에 투입하기 때문에 유연제의 양이 불규칙하게 투입되는 경우가 있었다.In addition, since the softener added to the washing tank is added in a short time in order to continue the washing process, the amount of the softener may be irregularly added.
본 발명은 상기한 바와 같은 종래의 결점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 것으로, 세탁기가 세탁공정을 수행하는 중에 마지막 헹굼공정 시작 시점이 되면 일정량의 유연제를 세탁조에 투입하고 헹굼공정을 수행하도록 하는 세탁기의 유연제 투입장치 및 그 방법을 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.The present invention has been made in order to solve the above conventional drawbacks, when the washing machine is the last rinsing process start time during the washing process, a certain amount of softening agent is put into the washing tank and the softening agent to perform the rinsing process Its purpose is to provide an input device and a method thereof.
상기한 바와 같은 목적을 실현하기 위한 본 발명 세탁기이 유연제 투입장치 및 그 방법은 하나의 객체로 이루어지고 세탁, 헹굼, 탈수공정을 설정된 프로그램에 의하여 수행하는 세탁기에 있어서, 세탁기의 상부에 세탁조와 연결되는 유연제 보관 케이스를 설치하고, 세탁기가 세탁공정을 수행하는 중에 마지막 헹굼공정 시작시점이 되면 유연제 보관 케이스에 저장된 유연제 중 일정량을 세탁조에 투입하여 마지막 헹굼공정을 수행할 수 있도록 되어짐을 특징으로 하는 것이다.In the washing machine of the present invention for realizing the object as described above, the softener input device and method thereof are made of a single object, and the washing machine performs washing, rinsing, and dehydration processes by a set program, the washing machine being connected to the upper part of the washing machine. When the softener storage case is installed, and the washing machine performs the washing process, when the last rinsing process is started, a certain amount of softeners stored in the softener storage case may be added to the washing tank to perform the final rinsing process.
이하 본 발명의 구성을 첨부된 예시도면과 함께 보다 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows.
본 발명은 예시도면 제1도에서와 같이 세탁기 상단에 설치되고 세탁조와 연결되는 개폐수단(60)이 저부에 설치되며 유연제를 저장하는 유연제 보관 케이스(10)와, 세탁기의 각종 동작환경과 유연제 투입 환경을 설정하기 위한 키들로 구성된 선택부(20)와, 상기 유연제 보관 케이스 내부 하단에 설치되어 유연제 존재 여부를 검출하는 습도 감지 센서(30)와, 상기 선택부(20)의 키 조작으로 설정된 유연제투입 환경과 습도 감지 센서(30)의 출력을 근거로 드라이브부(50)에 구동 제어신호를 출력하는 제어수단(40)과, 상기 제어수단(40)의 제어로 구동하여 개폐수단(60)의 동작을 제어하는 드라이브부(50)로 구성된다.The present invention is installed in the upper part of the washing machine as shown in Figure 1, the opening and closing means 60 is connected to the washing tank is installed at the bottom and the softener storage case 10 for storing the softener, and various operating environment and softener input of the washing machine A selection unit 20 composed of keys for setting an environment, a humidity sensor 30 installed at a lower end of the softener storage case to detect the presence of a softener, and a softener set by key manipulation of the selection unit 20. Control means 40 for outputting a drive control signal to the drive unit 50 based on the input environment and the output of the humidity sensor 30 and the control means of the control means 40 to drive the opening and closing means 60 It consists of a drive unit 50 for controlling the operation.
여기서, 개폐수단(60)을 구동시키는 드라이브부(50)는 제어수단(40)의 구동 제어신호로 턴온/턴오프 동작하는 트랜지스터(Q)와, 상기 트랜지스터(Q)에 연동하여 개폐수단(60)에 구동 전원을 공급하는 릴레이(RY)로 구성된다. 또한 상기 유연제 보관 케이스(10)의 유연제 투입을 개폐하는 개폐수단(60)을 솔레노이드 밸브로 구성한다.Here, the drive unit 50 for driving the opening and closing means 60 is a transistor (Q) which is turned on / off by the drive control signal of the control means 40, and the opening and closing means 60 in conjunction with the transistor (Q) ) Is configured as a relay (RY) for supplying driving power. In addition, the opening and closing means 60 for opening and closing the softener input of the softener storage case 10 is configured by a solenoid valve.
그리고 제어수단(40)은 선택부(20)의 키 조작으로 유연제 투입환경이 설정되고, 습도 감지 센서(30)에 의하여 유연제 보관 케이스(10)로 부터 유연제가 검출되며 세탁기가 마지막 헹굼공정 시작시점임이 판단됨에 따라 유연제 투입을 위한 구동제어신호를 출력하도록 한다.And the control means 40 is the softener input environment is set by the key operation of the selector 20, the softener is detected from the softener storage case 10 by the humidity sensor 30 and the washing machine starts the last rinsing process As it is determined to output the drive control signal for the softener input.
예시도면 제2도는 본 발명에 따른 흐름도로서, 선택부의 키 조작으로 설정된 세탁, 헹굼, 탈수공정과 투입된 세탁물량을 근거로 세탁동작을 수행함에 있어서, 유연제 보관 케이스에 저장된 유연제의 유무를 검출하고 선택부의 키 조작으로 유연제 투입환경이 설정되었음을 판단하여 유연제가 담겨져 있으며 유연제 투입환경이 설정되어 있으면 마지막 헹굼공정 시작시점에서 솔레노이드 밸브를 열어 유연제를 일정량 투입하고 헹굼공정을 수행하도록 된 것이다.Exemplary Drawing 2 is a flow chart according to the present invention, in the washing operation based on the washing, rinsing, dehydration process and the amount of laundry put in by the key operation of the selection unit, detecting the presence or absence of the softener stored in the softener storage case When the softener input environment is set by the negative key operation, the softener is contained. If the softener input environment is set, the solenoid valve is opened at the beginning of the last rinsing process to inject a certain amount of softener and perform the rinsing process.
도면중 미설명된 70은 제어수단(40)의 동작진행 상태를 표시하는 표시부이다.70, which is not described in the drawing, is a display unit displaying an operation progress state of the control means 40.
이와같이 구성된 본 발명의 작용효과를 설명한다.The effects of the present invention configured as described above will be described.
본 발명은 세탁기의 상부에 설치되고 하부에 유연제의 투입을 개폐하는 개폐수단(60)이 형성된 유연제 보관케이스(10)에 유연제를 투입하면, 유연제 보관 케이스(10)의 내측 하부에 설치된 습도 감지센서(30)에 의하여 유연제가 감지되어 제어수단(40)에 알리게 된다. 이에 따라 제어수단(40)에서는 유연제 보관 케이스(10)에 저장중인 유연제의 유무를 판단하게 된다.The present invention is installed in the upper part of the washing machine and when the softener is put into the softener storage case 10 is formed in the opening and closing means 60 for opening and closing the softener in the lower part, the humidity sensor installed in the inner lower portion of the softener storage case 10 Softener is sensed by the 30 to inform the control means 40. Accordingly, the control means 40 determines whether the softener is being stored in the softener storage case 10.
또한 제어수단(40)에는 세탁기의 각종 동작환경을 설정하는 키와 유연제 투입 여부를 결정하는 키 입력이 선택부(20)의 키 입력으로 이루어지고 이를 근거로 제어수단(40)에서는 유연제 투입환경이 설정되었는가를 판단하게 된다.In addition, the control means 40 is a key input for setting the various operating environment of the washing machine and the key input for determining whether to put the softener is made of the key input of the selection unit 20 based on this, the control means 40 has a softener input environment It is determined whether it is set.
즉 제어부(40)는 습도감지센서(30)에 의하여 유연제 보관케이스(10)에 유연제가 있음이 판단되고 선택부(20)의 키 조작으로 유연제 투입환경이 설정되면 유연제를 투입할 수 있는 스탠바이 상태를 유지하면서 세탁기 세탁공정이 마지막 헹굼공정 시작시점이 되기를 대기하게 된다.That is, the control unit 40 determines that the softener is present in the softener storage case 10 by the humidity sensor 30, and when the softener input environment is set by the key operation of the selection unit 20, a standby state into which the softener can be added. Waiting for the washing machine washing process to be the start of the last rinsing process while maintaining.
여기서, 제어수단(40)에서 대기하는 마직막 헹굼공정시기는 선택부(20)의 키 조작으로 설정된 세탁공정과 헹굼공정 및 탈수공정중의 한 시점을 말하며 세탁된 세탁물을 탈수하기전에 마지막으로 헹구는 공정이 시작되는 시점이다.Here, the last rinsing process time waited by the control means 40 refers to a point of time during the washing process, the rinsing process and the dehydration process set by the key operation of the selection unit 20, and the process of rinsing the laundry before dehydrating the washed laundry last. This is the time to start.
마지막 헹굼공정 시작시점이 되면 제어수단(40)에서는 세탁조에 유연제를 투입하기 위하여 개폐수단(60)인 솔레노이드 밸브를 구동시키기 위한 구동제어신호를 드라이브부(50)의 트랜지스터(Q)의 베이스축에 인가한다.At the start of the last rinsing process, the control means 40 transmits a drive control signal for driving the solenoid valve, which is the opening and closing means 60, to the base axis of the transistor Q of the drive unit 50 in order to inject the softener into the washing tank. Is authorized.
이에 따라 트랜지스터(Q)가 구동(턴온)되고 이에 연동하여 릴레이(RY)가 구동하여 릴레이(RY)의 일단에 공급중이던 전원이 개폐수단(60)에 공급되어 개폐수단(60)이 열리게 된다.Accordingly, the transistor Q is driven (turned on) and the relay RY is driven in association with the power supply, so that the power supplied to one end of the relay RY is supplied to the switching means 60 so that the opening and closing means 60 is opened.
따라서 유연제 보관 케이스(10)에 보관중이던 유연제가 열려진 개폐수단(60)을 통하여 세탁조에 투입되며 이와같은 투입동작을 제어수단(40)에서 구동제어신호를 출력하는 일정시간 동안에만 이루어지고 제어수단(40)으로 부터 출력되는 구동제어신호가 차단되면 개폐수단(60)이 다시 닫혀 유연제의 투입을 차단하게 된다.Therefore, the softening agent stored in the softening agent storage case 10 is put into the washing tank through the opening and closing means 60 opened, and the input operation is performed only for a predetermined time for outputting the driving control signal from the control means 40 and the control means ( When the drive control signal output from 40 is blocked, the opening and closing means 60 is closed again to block the input of the softening agent.
즉 제어수단(40)에서는 유연제 보관케이스(10)에 저장된 유연제중 일정량만 개폐수단(60)을 통하여 세탁조 내에 투입될 수 있도록 드라이브부(50)의 트랜지스터(Q)의 베이스축에 출력하는 구동제어신호 출력시간을 제어한다.That is, in the control means 40, the drive control outputs to the base shaft of the transistor Q of the drive unit 50 so that only a predetermined amount of the softener stored in the softener storage case 10 can be introduced into the washing tank through the opening and closing means 60. Control signal output time.
그러므로 세탁조에는 세탁물을 헹구는데 필요한 량의 유연제가 마지막 헹굼공정 시작전에 투입되어지기 때문에 별도의 유연제 투입없이 세탁물을 헹굴 수 있는 것이다.Therefore, since the amount of softener required to rinse the laundry is added to the washing tank before the start of the last rinsing process, the laundry can be rinsed without additional softener.
이를 예시도면 제2도에 의하여 살펴보면, 세탁기의 메인 전원이 투입되고 세탁환경이 설정되면 제어수단(40)에서는 유연제 보관 케이스(10)에 유연제가 있는가를 판단하게 된다.Referring to FIG. 2, when the main power of the washing machine is turned on and the washing environment is set, the control means 40 determines whether the softener is in the softener storage case 10.
유연제가 없으면 표시부(70)를 매개로 유연제가 없음을 표시하고 설정된 세탁환경에 따라 세탁공정을 수행하며, 유연제가 있으면 선택부(20)의 키 조작으로 유연제 투입환경이 설정되어 있는가를 판단하게 된다.If there is no softener, the display unit 70 displays no softener and performs the washing process according to the set washing environment. If the softener is present, it is determined whether the softener input environment is set by the key operation of the selection unit 20.
이때 유연제 투입환경이 설정되어 있지 않으면 설정된 세탁공정에 따라 세탁동작을 실행하고 유연제 투입환경이 설정되어 있으면 수행중인 세탁공정중 마지막 헹굼공정 시작시점이 되기를 대기하게 된다.At this time, if the softener input environment is not set, the washing operation is executed according to the set washing process, and if the softener input environment is set, it waits to be the start point of the last rinsing process during the washing process being performed.
세탁기의 세탁공정이 마지막 헹굼공정에 이르면 유연제 투입을 위한 구동제어신호를 일정시간 동안 출력하여 유연제 보관케이스(10)에 저장된 유연제 중 일정량을 세탁조에 투입하고 마지막 헹굼 공정과 탈수공정를 계속해서 수행한다.When the washing process of the washing machine reaches the last rinsing process, the driving control signal for inputting the softener is output for a predetermined time, and a predetermined amount of the softener stored in the softener storage case 10 is put into the washing tank, and the last rinsing process and the dehydration process are continuously performed.
따라서 수동에 의한 유연제 투입없이도 마지막 헹굼공정에서 자동으로 유연제를 투입하여 세탁물을 헹굴 수 있는 것이다.Therefore, it is possible to rinse the laundry by inserting the softener automatically in the last rinsing process without manual softener input.
상술한 바와 같이 본 발명은 유연제를 담아 보관할 수 있는 유연제 보관 케이스를 세탁기의 상단에 솔레노이드 밸브를 매개로 세탁조에 연결되게 설치하고 유연제 보관 케이스에 유연제가 있고 유연제 투입환경이 설정되면 마지막 헹굼공정시각 시점에서 유연제를 일정량 세탁조에 투입하여 마지막 헹굼공정을 수행함으로써 세탁동작중 별도의 유연제 투입을 위한 동작을 취하지 않아도 되는 효과가 있다.As described above, in the present invention, a softener storage case capable of storing a softener is installed to be connected to a washing tank through a solenoid valve at the top of a washing machine, and the softener storage case has a softener and a softener input environment is set, and the final rinsing time By putting a softener in a predetermined amount in the washing tank to perform the last rinsing process there is an effect that does not have to take the action for the additional softener during the washing operation.
