In particular, the present invention relates to a washing machine equipped with an ion immersion unit for generating metal ions by applying electric voltage to two electricians. [Prior Art] When washing laundry in a washing machine, a treatment substance is usually added to water (specially clear Γ). Typical examples of these treatment substances include softeners and hydraulic agents. In addition to this, in recent years, for the treatment of laundry with antibacterial treatment (lcroblal treatment), this demand has become more and more important: the number of small families = the number of women Increased, and with more. In this family, the number of families at home has become more and more interesting. In the first, except for hanging laundry in the room to dry 1 ... choice. Even families with someone at home during the day = don't be mad In the rainy day 7, there is no other option than hanging in the room. Tian 4 laundry hanging in the room is easy to promote the bacteria and mold of laundry 丄: = hanging clothes Time, just like when the thirst for production and the dry time, this tendency = m can be cleared when the temperature is low. When the number of bacteria and mold increases, it becomes odorous. For this reason, in households that usually have no choice but to hang the laundry 89392 200422472 indoors and let it dry, there is a need for spinning to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. Yin. Many ready-made garments are now — ^ k ^ (f · _… worker deodorizing or fimglstatlc) treatment. In addition, the textile mouth that is treated by the fungus / deodorization treatment is 畎It is very difficult to apply resistance. Moreover, even if there are Λ all textiles, and there are 4- textiles, when they are washed repeatedly, the effectiveness of the anti-smearing / deodorizing treatment will be reduced. The concept is: ♦ When washing, the antibacterial treatment is used to treat the laundry. The 4S, such as the Japanese Utility Model Pending Case No. 4487, unveiled the road. · A kind of Western style ancient seal, 2 female ion products ...

A side sheet 7L equipped with a silver ion adding unit will add silver ions to the washing water. [Summary of the invention] Room (11 = —the purpose is to provide—a kind of washing machine, During the laundry cycle, J rshlng sess ion) —in the course of pre-determining, antibacterial metal can be separated / added to water φ # fruit. It is also the present invention __ metal ions fully exert their antibacterial effect plus metal ions:% is: provide a washing machine, if It was detected that the laundry was enough during the rotation of the dewatering washing tank for the dehydration. ^ 散 This washing machine will consider the presence of added metal ions and can unevenly spread the laundry. In order to achieve the above 3 L ^, according to In the present invention, a washing machine (its 89392 200422472 is added to the water during one of the laundry washing cycles) is provided so that the ratio of antibacterial metal ions can be adjusted during the preparation ,,, and, when no metal is added = The time of the predetermined process on the time of belonging to the ion is on the laundry: the time of leaving / requiring is still long. Allow the metal ion to completely attach (cofigurati), and set it aside for time. Compared with this configuration, prepare ^ When it is a metal ion, it satisfactorily adheres to a person who does not add metal ions; therefore, the metal ions will be on / before the clothes and will be volatile. It is expected that according to the present invention, w /, ... - The fixed process is two! The number (of which: the predetermined process during the laundry process includes ^ metal ions added to the water) so that: the spin full cycle: = Γ period and soft spin full cycle, or strong non-centering With the test attached to the laundry, you must stir the water violently. With this vortex period r JL ΕΑ ΑΑ σ smells strong, and a a 〃 疋: so that metal ions are evenly dispersed in In the water, it extends to every corner of the laundry), and further aims: to wait quietly for the metal ions to attach to the laundry, which may prevent the laundry fabric or increase the power consumption). In addition, seeing the stationary state makes the user notice that the washing machine is operating without malfunction. According to the present invention, the washing machine is configured as described above, and the washing is performed on ice and rosy T 'regardless of the total amount of water injection (volume of water) & / or the number of full spin cycles and softness The ratio of the period or the ratio of the strong spin = ^ 入 #stop cycle is constant. With this configuration, ΛΑ ^ _L > »Private programming of k-programs is easy. According to the present invention, in the laundry & 配置 configured as described above, the ratio of the strong period to the soft spinning full period or the strong spinning full period is changed according to the total amount of water and / or the amount of laundry in the washing tank in 89392 200422472. Static ratio. With this configuration, it is possible to appropriately set the ratio of the strong vortex cycle to the gentle vortex cycle or the ratio of the full cycle to the stationary cycle according to the total amount of water injected or the number of laundry, thereby reducing the burden on the laundry cloth: Necessary power consumption. / 、 Mouth, according to Ben · Sunyue 'is equipped with a washing machine (where water injection washing Γ ”ng rinsing is possible) so that: it is possible to add antibacterial all: ions to what is being supplied during the water injection washing operation and = This configuration, in the water injection washing and cleaning operation: prepare-= this ^ attach the necessary amount of metal ions to the laundry. According to the present invention, a washing machine (and in the configuration. During a predetermined process can be antibacterial metal off-cut washing (I / 4, pj water after adding metal ions), so that ... Uneven clothing is taught Γ; during the spin cycle, when laundry is detected and this laundry is detected 2 strategies and when no metal ions are added This kind of ... = :::: 7 countermeasures are different.-:?

The drawer 53a has its interior divided into a plurality of sections (this embodiment has two sections, that is, a left section and a right section). The left section can be stored as a detergent Use of space Detergent chamber 54. The right section is a treatment agent chamber that can be used as a storage space for treatment agents suitable for laundry washing bars. 55 ° The bottom of the detergent chamber 54 is equipped with The water outlet 54a has an opening facing the inside of the water supply 53. A siphon 57 is arranged in the treatment agent chamber 55. The water supply 53 has a water outlet 56 below the bottom of the drawer 53a, and supplies water to the washing tank through it 30 in. The siphon tube 57 is composed of an inner tube 57a extending vertically upward from the bottom surface of the treatment agent chamber 55 and a cap-shaped outer tube 57b covering the inner tube 57a. A gap is left between the inner tube 57a and the outer tube 57b to allow water to pass through. The inner pipe 57a is opened to the bottom of the water supply port 53 at the bottom. 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 injected into the treatment agent chamber 55 to a level higher than the top of the inner pipe 57a, the siphon principle is used to make the water flow out of the treatment agent chamber 55 through the siphon 57 and then drip to the bottom of the water supply port 53; Water is poured into the washing tank 30. The water supply valve 30 is composed of a main water supply valve 50 a and a pair of water supply valve 5 0 b. The main water supply valve 50a allows a relatively large water flow, and the sub water supply valve 50b allows a relatively small water flow. The method of setting the large or small water flow is to make the internal structure of the main water supply valve 50a -15- 89392 200422472 and the internal structure of the secondary water supply valve 50b different from each other, or make the internal structure of the two valves the same but use different sections. Flow-limiting members of throttling ratio combine them. The connection 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 directed toward the detergent chamber 54 'so that a large amount of water from the autonomous water supply valve 50a will be injected into the detergent chamber 54 via the main water supply path 52a in the future. The sub water feed valve 50b is connected to an opening within the elevation of the water supply port 53 by a sub water feed passage 52b '. This opening is directed toward the treatment agent chamber 55 so that a small amount of water from the auxiliary water supply valve 50b is injected into the treatment agent chamber 55 via the auxiliary water supply path 52b. That is, the path from the main water supply valve 50a to the washing tank 30 via the detergent chamber 54 and the path from the sub water supply valve 50b to the washing tank 30 via the treatment agent chamber 55 are separated. Returning to FIG. 1, a drainage hose (drain ho%) 60 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 20, and the water drainage tank 20 and the washing tank 30 are drained through the hose. Water flows from two drain pipes 61 and 62 into the drain hose 60. Drain pipe. One of the bottom surfaces of the water tank 20 is connected to a part that is slightly peripheral, and the drain pipe 62 is connected to one of the bottom surfaces of the water tank 20 that is slightly to the center. Within 20 degrees of under-lifting, on its bottom surface, the ring-shaped partition wall is fixed in such a way as to seal the connection of the drain pipe 62 4 and the water lifting 20. The partition wall 63 is provided with a circular leakage preventing member 64 on the top thereof. The leakage preventing member 64 is kept in contact with the peripheral surface of the disc (kan) fixed to the bottom surface of the washing tub 30 to form a separated drainage space 89392 -16- 200422472 66 between the water tank 20 and the washing tank 30. The drain space 66 communicates with the inside of the sink 30 through a drain opening 67 formed in the bottom of the sink 30. The drain pipe 62 is equipped with a drain valve ⑽ operated electromagnetically. Part of the drain pipe 62 At the upstream end of the drain valve 68, an air trap (69) is deployed. A lead pipe (70) is extended from the air valve (69). The wrong tube (70) is connected to the water level switch (71) at the top. The device 80 is deployed in the front part of the casing 10 below the top plate 11. The controller 80 will receive instructions from the user via the operation / display panel 81 deployed on the top surface of the top plate 丨 丨; The commands are sent to the drive unit 40, the water supply valve 50, and the drain valve 68. The controller 80 also sends display commands to the operation / display panel 81. The controller 80 includes a type of ion-extraction unit to be driven later The driving circuit will now be described How to operate the washing machine 1. First, open the cover 16 and put the laundry into the washing tub 30 via the laundry input port 15. Pull out the drawer 53a from the water supply port 53 and put the detergent in the drawer 53 & Detergent to 54. Put the treatment agent (softener) into the treatment agent chamber 55. The treatment agent (softener) may be put there during the laundry washing period, or it may not be put in when it is not needed. After setting the detergent and treatment agent (softener), push the drawer 53a back into the water supply port 53. After preparing to add the detergent and treatment agent (softener) in this manner, cover the cover plate 16, And the desired laundry washing course is selected by operating a t operation button on the operation / display panel 81. By subsequently pressing the start button, the laundry washing is performed according to the flowcharts shown in Figs. 10 to 13 89392 -17- 200422472 Fig. 10 is a flow chart showing the entire laundry washing period. In step S201, the time is set to start the laundry washing operation. Check whether the timer startup operation is selected. If selected When the timer starts the operation, the wire continues to step chaos. If not, the process continues to step S202. In step S206, it is checked whether the operation start time has arrived. If the operation start time has been reached, the process continues to step s202. In step S202, it is checked whether a washing process is selected. If a washing process is selected, the flow proceeds to _. Referring to the flowchart shown in FIG. u, how to perform the washing in step ㈣⑽ will be described later. Process. As soon as the washing process is completed, the smuggling will continue to step S203. If the washing process is not selected, the task proceeds directly from step S202 to step_. In step S203, it is checked whether a washing process is selected. If you choose washing process 1, the process continues with iljs_. Referring to the flowchart shown in _, how to perform the washing process in step 8 will be described later. In Figure 10, the washing process was repeated three times, and the process number is shown with mantissa numbers (such as S400-1, S40〇_2, and S4〇_3) to show the process. Every step. The number of times the prostitutes are cleaned by the user. In this case, "S400-3" is the final washing process. = When the washing process is completed, the flow proceeds to step S204. If i, ^, 洗, and 洗 are too private, the process continues directly from step S203 to step S204. In v ′ S204, it is checked whether a dehydration process is selected. If the dehydration process is selected, the process continues to S5⑻. Referring to the flowchart shown in FIG. 13, 89392-18-200422472 will be described later how to perform the dehydration process in step S500. Once the dehydration process is completed, the flow proceeds to step S205. If the dehydration process is not selected, the process proceeds directly from step S204 to step. In step S205, the operation of the controller rib (especially the processing unit (microcomputer) therein) is automatically terminated in accordance with a predetermined program. In addition, the completion of the laundry washing cycle is indicated by a beep sound. Upon completion of all operations, the washing machine 1 returns to the standby state to prepare for a new laundry period. Next, referring to Figs. 11 and 13, the processes of washing, washing, and dehydration will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart of a washing process. In step S301, the monitoring of the water level in the washing tub 30 sensed by the water level switch 71 is being started. In step S302, it is checked whether the laundry amount sensing operation is selected. If the laundry quantity sensing operation is selected, the flow proceeds to step S308; if not, the flow continues to directly from step S302 to step S303. In step S308, the laundry number I is estimated based on the load of the rotation of the agitator 33. When the% of clothes is sensed, the process proceeds to step S303. In step S303, the main water supply valve 50a is opened, and water > King is fed into the washing tank 30 via the water supply port 53. Since the main water supply valve 50a is provided for large water flow, it can fill the strip washing tank 30 quickly. The detergent put into the detergent chamber 54 is completely washed away by the large water flow, and then is mixed with the water, and enters the washing tank 30. The drain valve 68 remains closed. When the water level switch 71 detects that the water level is set, the main water supply valve 50a is closed. The process then proceeds to steps 89392 -19- 200422472 骡 S304. In step S304, 蓺, Ding Yi + standby operation. Turn the agitator in the forward direction and then in the opposite direction repeatedly. "Wt force mouth 33" to swing the laundry in the water so that the laundry is completely immersed in the water. Sample a △ ^ ^ ^ will allow the laundry to absorb enough The amount of water that is allowed to be collected in the laundry bismuth, > xi xi han yue of the laundry. As a result of the preparation operation 'if the water level detected by Mito ^ $ w K k switch 71 becomes low The water level at the time of opening; then in step _ taxi / ^ S305, open the main water supply valve 50a, in order to supply additional water to restore the set water level. If you choose to include "clothing type sensing operation, During the laundry washing process, the type of cloth is sensed when the preparation operation is performed. 10% ready operation 'will detect the change of the water level from the set water level; therefore, if the water level drops more than the pre-flavored incense, day, day, and daytime, it is determined that the laundry is a type of super absorbent cloth. When the order,, ^, and sigh are stably obtained in step S305, the flow proceeds to step S306. According to the settings performed by the user m 4-y rt ..,, $ 豕 田 user, the motor 41 y is based on knowledge and pre-footing pattern (旋 ^ 疋 锊), so that 33 A main water flow is generated in the washing tank 30 for washing bars. Use ,,,,, and we use the King King water to wash clothes. The dehydration mandrel 44 is still braked by the brake "", the early money structure 43, so that: even when the washing bar is rotated with water and laundry, the washing tank 30 will not rotate. When the cycle of washing clothes is performed, the process will continue to step S307. In step S307, Angyang ~, + T females are separated for a short period of time, repeatedly rotating in the positive direction and then in the opposite direction. The duty is 33. This allows the laundry to be loosened, and thereby allows the laundry to be evenly scattered in the sink 30. This is done for the dehydration rotation of the washing tank 30. -20- 89392 200422472 Secondly, referring to the flowchart shown in Fig. 12, the washing process will be described. First, in step S500, a dehydration process is performed. Referring to the flowchart shown in FIG. 13, the dehydration process will be described later. Upon completion of the dehydration operation, the flow proceeds to step S401. In step S401, the main water supply valve 50a is opened, and the water supply reaches the set water level. Once the water supply is completed, the flow proceeds to step S402. In step s402, a preparation operation is performed. During the preparation operation performed in step S402, the laundry attached to the washing tub 30 in step S500 (the dehydration process) is separated and soaked in water so that the laundry thoroughly absorbs water. Once the preparation operation is completed, the flow will continue to the result of the step preparation operation. The water level detected by the water level switch 71: the water level at the beginning; the main water supply valve tank is opened to supply additional water to recover Set the water level. After restoring the set water level in step S403, * μ w heart misalignment <, the flow then proceeds to step S404. According to the setting performed by the user, the electric motor will rotate the perturbator 33 'according to the pre-clog mode in order to generate main water in the washing tank for washing. Wash your clothes with this master water. The dewatering mandrel 44 is still engraved by the brake mechanism 43 so that the washing tub 30 will not rotate even when washing & water is rotated with water and laundry. As soon as the cycle of washing the laundry with the main water stream is completed, the process will continue to step S406. In step S406, the mother interval is repeatedly rotated in the forward direction and then in the reverse direction for a short period of time. This will allow the laundry to be cleaned, and will allow the laundry to be opened in the washing tank 30. This prepares the spin for spin. 89392 -21. 200422472 In the above description, it is assumed that the washing operation is performed using washing water stored in the washing bath%. This operation is referred to as "stored-water rinsing." However, it is also possible to perform the cleaning operation with always fresh water =, and this operation is called "water-filled rinsing". Operation, (water-poudng rinsing); or when the washing tank is rotated at a low speed: two to maintain the water supply from the water supply port 53 to perform the cleaning operation, this operation is called "shower rinsing operation," (shower rinsing, ). In the final washing process, a different order from the above is performed. The matter will be described in detail later. Second, referring to the flowchart shown in Figure 3, the dehydration process will be described. First, in In step S501, the drain valve 68 is opened. The washing water discharged into the washing tank 30 is drained through the drain space. The valve 68 is still opened during the dehydration process. 1 Draining When most of the washing has been discharged from the laundry , The clutch mechanism 42 and the feeder slot 43 will be switched. The switching sequence of the clutch mechanism 42 and the second mechanism is either before the drainage starts or at the same time. The motor will spin and spin Shaft 44. This will cause the dewatering rotation of the washing tank 30. The agitator 33 and the washing tank% rotate together. 卞, when washing 3G rotates at a high speed, the laundry is squeezed toward the washing tank 3G by the force. The inner circumferential wall. The washing water existing in the clothes will also collect on the inner surface of the circumferential wall of the washing tank 30; and, because the picture depicts that the washing bar 30 widens upwards to assume a cone shape, The washing water driven by centrifugal force will rise along the inner surface of the washing tank 30. When the washing water reaches the top of the washing tank 30, it will be discharged through the drainage hole 31. 89392 -22- 200422472 has been discharged from the drainage hole 31 Jizhayangbu people, water will touch the inner surface of the water tank 20, but the inner surface of the water 20 will flow down to the bottom of the water tank 20. Then, the silk is drained by the drain pipe. 61, and then via the > — None, outside the casing 10. ^ The drainage hose 60 is used to drain the washing water externally in the flowchart shown in FIG. 13, after step ⑽; in step _, To perform dehydration at high speed: Fancheng step S503, the flow of God He Ji Road, 7, The column proceeds to step S504 with respect to a and %%. In step S504, the supply of shore power to the motor 41 is stopped and the final operation is performed. The port is stopped and the ion elution unit is stopped. 100 ′ With reference to FIGS. 3 to 9, the unit f will be assembled and the washing machine 1 will be equipped with an ion elution unit 100 < connected to the downstream end of the main feed water passage 52a. The structure of the ion elution unit 100 will now be described. The purpose of the sum function in the washing machine 1. Fig. 3 is a partial top view for indicating the layout of the ion extraction unit 100 and the water supply port 53. A main water supply valve 50a and a water supply port 53 are connected to the ion elution unit at both ends in succession. In other words, the ion elution unit _ constitutes the entire main feed water passage 52a in an independent manner. The method of forming the sub-feeding path milk is: connect a water pipe protruding from the water port 53 to the sub-supply valve 50b with a stern tube. In the not shown in FIG. Set to match the front and rear axes of the laundry ^. However, in actual washing machines, the daggers are not placed in that way, but are arranged to coincide with the left and right axes of the washing machine 1. Figures B through 8 show the structure of the TF ion elution unit. FIG. 4 is a plan view. FIG. 5 is a vertical sectional view cut along the line A in FIG. 4. Figure 6 is also taken along 89392 -23- 200422472. Figure 7 is a horizontal sectional view. Vertical section cut on line b-B in Fig. 4 Fig. 8 is a perspective view of an electrode. 80%; first 獒 early 疋 100 has a shell made of transparent or translucent, colorless or colored two: two or opaque synthetic resin (-g) redundant 110 is a housing body with openings in the member (casing body) Outer: and cover UOb covering the top opening (see Figure 5). The :: body ma is made to be both long and large, which includes: a water inlet 111 in the vertical% and a water outlet 112 at the other end. Both the water inlet ⑴ and the water outlet m are tubular. The cross-sectional area of the water outlet 112 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the water inlet 1Η. The casing 110 is arranged in such a manner that the longitudinal direction 1 is horizontal. 〃In this way, the casing main body 11Ga, which is horizontally arranged, has a bottom surface gradually inclined toward the outlet 112 (see FIG. 5). In other words, the water outlet 112 is set at the lowest level of the inner space towel. ^ The cover plate 110b is fixed to the housing body u0a with four worms 170 (see Fig. 4). Know that the seai dng m is inserted between the housing body ⑽ and the cover (see Figure 5). Within the housing U0, < two plate electrodes 113: 114 ' are arranged so that the two electrodes are opposed to each other with the flow of water flowing from the water inlet 111 toward the water outlet 112. With the shell 10 filled with water, when a pre-footing voltage is applied to the two electrodes 113 and 114, metal ions of the metal will be eluted from any one of the electrodes currently at the anode end, both of which are Is made of this metal. As an example, it is possible to construct two electrodes 113 and 114 to arrange two silver plates each measuring 2 cm (⑽) x 5 cm and approximately 1 mm 89392 -24- 200422472 (mm) thick. Approximately $ mm apart. The material of the two electrodes 113 and 114 is not limited to silver. Any metal can be a material as long as it is a source of antibacterial metal ions. In addition to silver, it is also possible to choose from: alloys of silver and copper, zinc or similar. Extraction of silver ions from silver electrodes, extraction of copper ions from copper electrodes, and extraction of zinc ions from zinc electrodes proved to have superior bactericidal effects even on molds. Silver and copper ions can be eluted simultaneously from silver and copper alloys. As for the ion elution unit 100, it is possible to select elution or non-elution by applying or not applying a voltage. Furthermore, by controlling the current or the time during which the voltage is applied, the amount of metal ion elution can be controlled. Compared with a method of extracting metal ions from zeolite or other metal ion carriers, it is convenient because it is possible to electrically select whether to add metal ions and to adjust the metal ion concentration electrically. . The two electrodes 113 and 114 are not arranged completely parallel. In a plan view, they are arranged in a cone shape so that the space between the two electrodes follows the flow of water flowing through the inside of the housing, from upstream to downstream, in other words, from the water inlet U1 to the water outlet 112 Becomes narrower (see Figure 7). From the end having the water inlet 111 to the other end having the water outlet, the shape of the plan view of the case body 110a is also narrowed. That is, the cross-sectional area in the Shao space within the shell i 10 will gradually decrease from the upstream end to the downstream end. Both electrodes 113 and 114 have rectangular outlines and are equipped with terminals 115 and 116, respectively. The two terminals 115 and 116 are arranged on the inner side of the edges of the two electrodes 113 and 114 on the upstream side, and they hang on the lower edges of the two electrodes 113 and 114, respectively. 89392 -25-200422472 Both electrode 113 and terminal 115 are made of the same metal, and both electrode 114 and terminal 116 are made of the same metal. The two terminals 115 and 116 are guided to the bottom of the case main body 110a to pass through a hole formed in a bottom wall of the outer main body 110a. Where the two terminals 115 and 116 protrude beyond the housing body 110a, as shown in one of the enlarged views in Fig. 6, a watertight seal 172 is installed. The water-tight seal I72 and a second sleeve (second_) 175 described later form a double seanng structure to prevent water from leaking from this portion. At the bottom of the case main body 110a, an insulating wall 173 (see Fig. 6) for isolating the two terminals 115 and 116 is integrated. The two terminals 115 and 116 are connected to a drive circuit in the controller 80 by a cable (not shown). Regarding the two terminals 115 and 116, those parts remaining in the case 110 are protected by a sleeve made of an insulating material. Two sleeves are used.

200422472 來支撐兩個電極U3和114。這樣有料防止金屬層從兩個 電極U3和114生長到外殼顯内表面以及造成電極間的短 路。 雖然將端子115和116分別整合製成到電極⑴和⑴;但是 由於使用,兩個電極113和114最後都會耗損。然而,應該 防止兩個端子115和116耗損。在本發明之一實施例中,定 位在外殼11G之内的兩個端子! 15和! 16的那些部份都被由絕 緣材料所製成的兩個套管174和175加以保護,因而預防了 由導電所造成的耗損。這樣有助於防止像兩個端子丨15和 116在其使用中間就破裂這樣的情形。 在兩個電極113和114中,形成兩個端子115和116的那些部 伤都在距離上游端邊緣頗深的内側。兩個電極1丨3和114會 磨損,開始於它們之間的空間已經變窄的那個部份處。通 常’耗損發生在邊緣部份。雖然兩個端子115和U6都被定 位在兩個電極113和114的上游端,但是它們並不是完全在 邊緣處,而是在距離邊緣頗深的内侧部份處。因此,不須 要擔心的情形是:開始於電極之邊緣處的耗損會到達端子 而造成端子在其根部處破裂。 兩個電極113和114都是藉由在其上游端的第一套管174和 支架176加以支撐。另一方面,兩個電極113和114的下游端 都是藉由兩個支架177和178加以支撐。因為它們都是以這 種方式加以堅固地支撐在上游端和下游端,所以雖然它們 都在水流中,兩個電極113和114也不會振動。結果是,兩 個電極113和114都不會因振動而導致破裂。 -34- 89392 200422472 兩個端子115和li6會穿過外殼主體11(^的下壁而向下突 出。因此,雖然因為蒸汽與外殼主體丨1〇a接觸(當浴盆中的 熱水被用來洗滌時,蒸汽就會很容易地闖入洗衣機1的内部 中)或者因為藉由供水來冷卻外殼11〇而使外殼11〇的外表面 承文露濃度(dew concentration),但是從露凝結(dew condensation)產生的水會住下流向連接到兩個端子i i5和工i6 的電纜,因而不會停留在兩個端子115和116與外殼11〇之間 的邊界上。因此,不會發展出導因於由露凝結所產生的水 而使短發生在兩個端子115和116之間的情形。以縱方向在 水平線上的方式來佈置外殼主體u〇a,使它以形成在兩個 黾k 113和114之側邊上的兩個端子11 $和116會穿過外殼主 體110a的下壁而向下突出之一方式加構築是挺容易的。 離子洗提單元1〇〇之出水口 112的截面積小於進水口 ln的 截面和’並且具有對水流的阻力比進水口 1 1 1還大。這樣會 使得經由進水口丨丨丨進入外殼110中的水充滿外殼110的内部 而不會^成停滞空氣’因而完全地浸泡兩個電極1丨3和 U4。因此,不會發生像兩個電極ιΐ3和I"具有與產生金屬 離子操關的那些部份卻仍然未溶化這樣的情形。 ^但出水口 112的截面積小於進水口 lu的截面積,而且 卜成110之内邯空間的截面積會從上游端到下游端而逐漸 減y。這樣會減少在外殼11〇之内產生湍流(twbulence)或氣 /包j藉此,使水順暢地流動。並且,這樣會防止兩個電極 不^因氣泡的存在而被部份溶化。金屬離子會快速地離開 兩個電極113和114且不會返回到兩個電極113和114,於是增 89392 -35- 200422472 加離子洗提效率。 將料洗提單元1〇〇佈置於針對大流量的主給水通路 5 、在《處彳大里的水流動。這樣會允許將金屬離子快速 地載运到外敗110《外,並且防止它們$回到兩個電極⑴ 和114,於是增加離子洗提效率。 知出水口 112放置在外殼11〇之内部空間中的最低水平面 處。因此’當停止供水到離子洗提單元i⑼時,在離子洗提 單元100中所有的水都會經由出水口 112流出。結果是,不 會發生這樣一種情形:當天氣寒冷時,殘留在外殼110中的 水會結冰,因而使離子洗提單元100故障或破裂。 將過濾器180放置在兩個電極113和114的上游端。這樣就 有可此的疋·雖然固體異物存在於供給離子洗提單元Μ。的 水中,但是該異物因為被過濾器18〇截獲而防止它觸及兩個 私極113和114。因此,異物既不會損害兩個電極和114, 也不會造成電極間短路而引起過高的電流或導致金屬離子 產生缺乏。 將過濾器181放置在兩個電極113和114的下游端。若兩個 電極因長時間使被耗損而變成易碎的,因而使其破裂成碎 片,並且破裂碎片會流動;則過濾器181會截獲這些破裂碎 片,以防止它們從該破裂處流向下游。結果是,兩個電極 113和114的破裂碎片並不會損害在下游端的物件。 當作本發明之實施例,當將洗衣機丨裝配有離子洗提單元 100時,若沒有兩個過滤器180和18卜異物或電極的破裂碎 片就可能會附著在洗衣物上。有一種可能性是:異物或電 89392 -36- 200422472 極的破裂碎片可能會弄壞或損害洗衣物;並且,若將昱务 或電極的破裂碎片仍然附著在其上的洗衣物施以脫水和= 乾鉍作;則稍後穿上該衣物的人可能碰觸到它們,因而感 覺不舒服,或者在最糟的情況下,他可能會受傷。然而二 安裝兩個過濾器180和181就能夠避免這樣一種情形, 並非必須要放置兩個過濾器180和181。當確定安装一個 過攄器沒有造成問題時,就能夠將兩個過遽器其中之 兩者加以廢除。 $ W到圖14中 步驟S423中’藉由強力水流(強力漩渦) 見力添加金屬離子和處理劑(柔軟劑)的洗清用水,於是 促=洗衣物與金屬離子接觸以及處理劑(柔軟劑德著在洗 衣物上。 ,就能夠將金屬離子和 並且擴展到洗衣物的每 動長達一段預定時間之 藉由強力漩渦來執行徹底地攪動 處理劑(柔軟劑)均勻地溶入水中, 個角落。在藉由強力旋渦來執行攪 後,流程會繼續進行到步驟S424。 在步驟S424中,完全地改變 滿)來執行攪動。該”之針;/目^ 衣物表面切發揮&果使金屬離子附著在 也、、〃右# 輝放果。只要有水流動,縱使水流柔和 操作已經結束的可能性。 洗清過程仍然進^然而、n種方法讓使用者瞭 81上的产-办、仃,譬如說是藉由顯示在操作/顯示面 止是可唤域用者注意,則停止授動而使水呈現 89392 -37 -

The upstream ends of the two electrodes 113 and 114 are supported by a first sleeve 174 that is engaged to the two terminals n5 and u6. On the inner surface of the cover plate 110b, a fork-shaped bracket 176 is formed so as to closely contact the position of the first sleeve 174 (see FIG. 6). This bracket 176 will buckle the upper edge of the first sleeve 174, and together with the second sleeve 175 to fill the gap between the first sleeve 174 and the housing body 110a, it becomes a rigid support. The fork-shaped bracket I% uses two kinds of fingers to fasten the two electrodes 113 and 114; the two electrodes 113 and 114 can be between each other by the contraposition 'at the end of the cover plate 110b. Maintain proper space. The downstream ends of the two electrodes 113 and 114 are also supported by a bracket formed on the inner surface of the case 110. The fork-shaped bracket 177 is raised from the bottom surface of the casing body u〇a. Also, the fork-shaped bracket 178 hangs on the flat top of the cover plate 丨 丨 牝 to face the bracket 177 (see FIGS. 5 and 8). The two electrodes Π3 and 114 are held by brackets 177 and 178 at the lower and upper edges of the downstream end, respectively, so that they do not move. / As shown in FIG. 7, the two electrodes 113 and 114 are arranged so that the two surfaces opposite to each other < the two surfaces opposite to the surface and the inner surface of the housing 11 are held ^ and 'as shown in FIG. 5, The two electrodes 113 and 114 are clothed so as to maintain a space between the upper and lower edges of the L electrodes and the inner surface of the housing 11 (inviting ^ ^ 1 nr Λ η) where the wood i '177 and 178 are in contact.

In addition, as shown in Fig. 7 or Fig. 5 > /, A < a _, upstream of the two electrodes 113 and 114 and the edge of the two and the inner surface of the housing 110 When the width of the peripheral device i 1〇 is made much smaller for each pair of members, it is possible to firmly attach two surfaces opposite to each other on the inner wall of the housing 110 89392 -27- 200422472 in such a way to construct the two electrodes 113 and 114. In order to prevent foreign matter (f〇reign 〇bjects) from contacting the two electrodes ^ and 1 Μ, a metal mesh filter (strainer) will be installed on the two electrodes 113 And the upper seed end of IK. As shown in Figure 2, place the filter in the connection tube ". The filter 180 is to prevent foreign matter from entering the water supply valve 50, and it can also be used as an upstream filter of the ion elution unit 100. A metal mesh filter 181 is installed at the downstream ends of the two electrodes 13 and 14. When the electrode is thinned and ruptured for a long period of time, the filter 181 prevents the broken pieces of the two electrodes 113 and 114 from flowing out, such as two; the outlet 112 can be selected as the position for installing the filter 181 . The positions of the two filters 180 and 181 are not limited to the positions described above. As long as they are installed on the "end of the electrode, and on the end of the" electrode, "they can be placed anywhere in the water supply path. Both the filter states 180 and 181 are removable, so they can remove wells they have intercepted or they can remove substances that contribute to plugging. FIG. 9 shows a driving circuit 120 for the ion elution unit 100. Connect Transformer = 122 to a commercial power distribution source 121 to reduce 100 volts to a predetermined voltage. The full-wave rectifier circuit 123 is used to rectify the output power of the transformer 122 [2 and then a constant voltage circuit 124 is formed. The strange voltage circuit 124 is connected to the constant current circuit 125. The constant current circuit 125 operates in the following k ways: The strange current is supplied to the electrode driving circuit 150 described later without being affected by the change in resistance through the electrode driving circuit 150. A commercial power distribution source 121 is also connected to the rectifier 89392 -28- 200422472 diode 126 in parallel with the transformer 122. The output voltage of the diode 126 is smoothed by the capacitor 127, and then a constant voltage is formed by the constant voltage circuit 128, and then it is applied to the microcomputer 130. The microcomputer 130 controls the start operation of the three-pole AC semiconductor switch (triac) I29 connected between one end of the primary coil of the transformer 122 and the commercial power distribution source 121. The electrode driving circuit 150 is composed of two diodes D1 and D2 of many NPN type transistors Q1 to Q4 ', and a plurality of resistors R1 to R7. Interconnect these components as shown in the figure. Transistor Q1 and diode D1 form an optical coupler 151, and transistor Q2 and diode D1 form an optical coupler 152. Both diodes D1 and D2 are photodiodes, and both transistors Q1 and Q2 are optoelectronic crystals. The microcomputer 130 will feed the high level voltage to the signal line L1 and the low level voltage (or zero voltage, that is, the "off" voltage) to the signal line L2. Diode D2 is then turned on, which causes transistor Q2 to turn on. When transistor Q2 is turned on, current will flow through the three resistors R3, R4, and R7, which will cause a bias voltage to be applied to the base of transistor Q3. Then, the transistor Q3 is turned on. On the other hand, diode D1 is not turned on, so transistor Q1 is not turned on, so transistor Q4 is not turned on. In this state, a current flows from the anode terminal electrode 113 to the cathode terminal electrode 114. As a result, in the ion stripping unit 100, many metal ions are generated as positive ions and negative ions. When a current flows in one direction through the ion stripping unit 100 for a long period of time, the electrode 113 at the anode end in FIG. 9 will wear out, and the electrode 114 at the cathode end will collect impurities in the water in the form of dirt. This will reduce the effectiveness of the MOO from 89392 -29- 200422472. To avoid this, the circuit 2 can be operated in a compulsory electrode-cleaning mode. 1 Lower electrode drive In the forced electrode cleaning mode, the microcomputer 13 switches the control mode so as to invert the voltage applied between the two signal lines L1 and L2 and thereby reversely flow between the two The electrodes 113 and 114 are formed by a brush. In this mode, 'transistor QWQ2 is on (-, and the transistor is not on.) The microcomputer 13G has a counter capability, so when each element reaches a predetermined count, it will switch the control mode as described above. Tian, Dang When the resistance of the electrode driving circuit 150 (especially, the resistance of the two electric wires) is changed, the result is, for example, flowing between two electric cups = the current will decrease " the current circuit 125 will increase it The output voltage is used to compensate for this reduction. And when the total usage time increases, the pre-elutriation unit 100 will eventually reach the limit of its service life. When this happens, the control mode is switched to the forced electrode cleaning mode, or it is increased It is strange that the output voltage of circuit 125 is no longer possible to compensate for the reduction in current; T To cope with this, in the circuit in question, 'monitoring the flow of ions based on the voltage generated across the bridge resistor π The current between the elution unit 100: the electrodes 113 and U4. When the current becomes equal to the predetermined minimum current, the current detection circuit will detect it. The fact is: The detected minimum current is transmitted from the photo-coupler 163 to a part of the photodiode via the pre-transistor Q5 to the microcomputer 13. With the signal line L3, the microcomputer 13 will then activate the warning indicator 131 'So that it indicates a predetermined warning. The warning 4A 131 is provided in the operation / display panel 81 or the controller 89. 89392 -30- 200422472 Also, in order to cope with a failure such as a short circuit in the electrode driving circuit 150, it is equipped with There is a current detection circuit 161 that detects a current greater than a predetermined maximum current. Based on the output of this current detection circuit 161, the microcomputer will drive the warning indicator 131. Furthermore, when the output voltage of the current circuit 125 becomes When it is lower than the preset minimum voltage, the voltage detection circuit 162 will detect it, and the microcomputer 130 will also check the warning indicator 131. The metal ions generated by the ion extraction unit are injected into the washing tank in the following manner. Metal ions and softeners intended to be used as a process gas are added during the final cleaning process. Figure 14 shows the sequence of final cleaning operations. Flowchart. In the final washing process, after the dehydration process of step 8500, the u, = process continues to step S420. In step S420, check whether to choose: add a processing material. When transmitting through a kind of operation / display surface The alternative operation performed at 81 and the process of "adding a treatment agent to the temple" will continue to step S421. If not, the process continues to step s4〇i in Figure U and is the same as the previous washing process. Way to perform the final cleaning operation. '"In Buyu S421, check whether two processing materials (that is, human ions and softeners) are added. When through-a selection operation via the operation / display panel = When "Add metal ion and softener" is selected, the process proceeds to: Step S422; if not, the process continues to ^ S426. J Smart Steps In vS422, opening the king water valve 50a and the auxiliary water supply valve 5 cents will flow into the main water supply channel 52a and the auxiliary water supply channel 52b. 7 Step S422 is a process for elution of metal ions.

Water to which metal ions have been added flows into the cleaning month] to 54 and is then injected into the washing tank% from the water outlet 54 & The amount of water coming from the side of the auxiliary water supply valve is smaller than the amount of water from the main water valve 50a. The second flow goes out: and is injected into the treatment agent chamber 55 through the auxiliary water supply path m. You have supplied the treatment agent (softening agent) into the treatment agent room, and then put the treatment agent (softening agent) together with water into the washing tank 30 through the siphon officer 57. When adding metal ions, this addition is performed at the same time. In the condition of the treatment agent chamber, the siphon effect will not occur until the predetermined level is reached. This allows the treatment agent (softening agent) to be held in the treatment agent chamber 55 until it is time to inject water into the treatment agent chamber 55. 2 When a predetermined amount of water (such as the siphon effect occurs in the water in the siphon 57 "even or more) is injected into the treatment agent chamber 55, the sub-supply valve 5 0 b will be closed. As long as" Add treatment agent "is selected Regardless of whether or not the preparation has been loaded (the spear is softly loaded into the treatment agent chamber 55, this water supply step 2 is automatically added, the treatment agent is added.) Tian ~ 将 has injected a sufficient amount of water containing metal ions into the washing tank. Deduct ^ 'and adjust the concentration of metal ions in the wash water to a predetermined level by supplying water containing no metal ions to a predetermined level, and the application of 89392 -32- 200422472 voltage to the two electrodes 113 and After the generation of metal ions, a will stop the king in the early ion washing, and the water valve 50a will continue to supply water. # The water level in the tank 30 reaches u α ^^, and when the washing 8 When it reaches the sigh level, the water supply will be stopped. As described above, in step S422, the conditioner (softener) is simultaneously. However, this does not necessarily mean that: at J away = j (flexible scraper) > The time when the king entered the sink was struggling. Eluting unit 100 is generating I] θ where the king might be between these two time ... - to be the diversion of time when the door is in force earlier when :: or "other - time. In the ion washing bill, it is necessary to stop the production of metal ions. However, if the metal ion-free water is additionally supplied, a treatment agent (softener) may be added. The point is: it is sufficient to perform the addition of metal ions and the addition of a treatment agent (softener) separately in a sequence. As previously described, the terminal 115 is integrated to the electrode 113 and the terminal 116 is integrated to the electrode 4 from the same metal. Therefore, unlike the case where different metals are connected, the potential difference does not occur between the electrode and the terminal, so that corrosion prevention is prevented. In addition, the manufacturing process is simplified due to integrated manufacturing. 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. This makes the two electrodes 113 and 114 consistent with the water flow, so the two electrodes 1 3, 114 are more likely not to vibrate; thereby, they are hardly broken even when they become thin due to wear. . In addition, there is no concern that a short circuit may occur due to excessive deformation of the electrodes. The two electrodes U3 and 114 are supported in such a manner as to form a space between the two electrodes and the inner surface of the case 110 89392 -33-200422472. This prevents the metal layer from growing from the two electrodes U3 and 114 to the apparent inner surface of the case and causes short circuits between the electrodes. Although the terminals 115 and 116 are integrated into the electrodes ⑴ and ⑴, respectively, due to the use, the two electrodes 113 and 114 will eventually wear out. However, the two terminals 115 and 116 should be prevented from being worn. In one embodiment of the present invention, two terminals positioned inside the housing 11G! 15 and! Those parts of 16 are protected by two sleeves 174 and 175 made of an insulating material, thereby preventing the loss caused by the conduction. This helps prevent situations where the two terminals 15 and 116 break in the middle of their use. In the two electrodes 113 and 114, those wounds forming the two terminals 115 and 116 are on the inside which is quite deep from the edge of the upstream end. The two electrodes 1, 3 and 114 will wear out, starting at the part where the space between them has narrowed. Usually ' attrition occurs at the edge. Although the two terminals 115 and U6 are positioned at the upstream ends of the two electrodes 113 and 114, they are not completely at the edges, but at the inner part which is quite deep from the edges. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the situation where the wear that starts 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 the two electrodes 113 and 114 are supported by two brackets 177 and 178. Because they are both firmly supported at the upstream and downstream ends in this manner, although 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. -34- 89392 200422472 The two terminals 115 and li6 will protrude downward through the lower wall of the casing body 11 (^). Therefore, although the steam is in contact with the casing body (10a) (when the hot water in the bathtub is used When washing, the steam can easily break into the inside of the washing machine 1) or because the outer shell 11 is cooled by water supply, the outer surface of the outer shell 11 receives a dew concentration, but dew condensation ) The water produced will flow down the cables connected to the two terminals i i5 and i6 and will not stay on the boundary between the two terminals 115 and 116 and the housing 11. Therefore, no cause will develop. Due to the water generated by the condensation of the dew, the short occurs between the two terminals 115 and 116. The housing main body u〇a is arranged in a vertical direction on the horizontal line so that it forms in two 113k 113 The two terminals 11 $ and 116 on the side of and 114 will pass through the lower wall of the housing main body 110a and protrude downward in one way. It is very easy to construct. The cutout of the water outlet 112 of the ion extraction unit 100 The area is smaller than the cross section of the inlet ln and 'and The resistance to the water flow is greater than the water inlet 1 1 1. This will make the water entering the housing 110 through the water inlet 丨 丨 丨 fill the inside of the housing 110 without stagnation of air 'and thus completely soak the two electrodes 1丨 3 and U4. Therefore, it will not happen that the two electrodes ιΐ3 and I " have portions that are involved in the production of metal ions but still do not melt. ^ But the cross-sectional area of the water outlet 112 is smaller than that of the water inlet lu The cross-sectional area, and the cross-sectional area of the Han space within 110% will gradually decrease from the upstream end to the downstream end. This will reduce the occurrence of twbulence or gas / bag within the shell 11, thereby making the water Smooth flow. Also, this will prevent the two electrodes from being partially dissolved due to the presence of air bubbles. The metal ions will quickly leave the two electrodes 113 and 114 and will not return to the two electrodes 113 and 114. 89392 -35- 200422472 plus ion elution efficiency. The material elution unit 100 is arranged in the main feed water channel 5 for large flow, and the water flows in the process. This will allow the metal ions to be carried quickly to External defeat 110 In addition, and prevent them from returning to the two electrodes 114 and 114, the ion elution efficiency is increased. It is known that the water outlet 112 is placed at the lowest level in the internal space of the housing 110. Therefore, when the water supply is stopped to the ion elution unit At this time, all the water in the ion-extraction unit 100 will flow out through the water outlet 112. As a result, when the weather is cold, the water remaining in the casing 110 will freeze, which will cause the ion-washing. The lifting unit 100 is faulty or broken. A filter 180 is placed on the upstream ends of the two electrodes 113 and 114. In this way, there is no problem. Although solid foreign matter exists in the supply ion elution unit M. In the water, but the foreign body was prevented from touching the two private poles 113 and 114 by being intercepted by the filter 180. Therefore, foreign matter will not damage the two electrodes and 114, nor will it cause a short circuit between the electrodes, cause excessive current or cause the lack of metal ions. A filter 181 is placed at the downstream ends of the two electrodes 113 and 114. If the two electrodes become fragile due to a long period of wear and tear, they are broken into pieces, and the broken pieces flow; the filter 181 intercepts these broken pieces to prevent them from flowing downstream from the break. As a result, the broken pieces of the two electrodes 113 and 114 do not damage the object at the downstream end. As an embodiment of the present invention, when the washing machine is equipped with the ion-extraction unit 100, if there are no two filters 180 and 18, foreign matter or broken pieces of the electrode may be attached to the laundry. There is a possibility that foreign objects or broken pieces of electricity 89392 -36- 200422472 poles may damage or damage the laundry; and, if laundry or electrode broken pieces are still attached to the laundry to dehydrate and = Dry Bismuth; the person who wears the clothing later may touch them and feel uncomfortable, or in the worst case, he may be injured. However, installing two filters 180 and 181 can avoid such a situation, and it is not necessary to place two filters 180 and 181. When it is determined that the installation of one repeater does not cause a problem, two of the two repeaters can be eliminated. $ W to step S423 in FIG. 14 'Washing water with strong metal flow and treatment agent (softening agent) was added by strong water flow (strong vortex), so the contact between the laundry and the metal ion and the treatment agent (softening agent) were promoted. Writing on the laundry, it is possible to carry out agitating the treatment agent (softener) evenly into the water with a strong vortex by extending the metal ions and each movement of the laundry for a predetermined time. Corner. After performing the agitation by a powerful vortex, the flow proceeds to step S424. In step S424, the full is completely changed to perform agitation. The "needle" / mesh ^ The surface of the clothes is cut to make the metal ions adhere to the same, and 〃 右 # Huifang fruit. As long as there is water flowing, the possibility of the gentle operation of the water flow has ended. The washing process is still progressing ^ However, the n methods allow users to use the production-handling method on 81. For example, by displaying on the operation / display surface, it is possible to call the attention of field users, and then stop the actuation to make the water appear 89392 -37. -200422472,., 'The gentle vortex cycle sufficient to allow the laundry to absorb metal ions = the process will continue to step s 4 2 5. Here, the strong water flow (strong, narrow) is used to perform the adhesion guarantee again Agitate. In this way, the metal ions are distributed to many parts of the laundry that have not yet been spread, and the beans are firmly attached to the laundry. &Quot; After step S425, the flow will continue to step_. At step S406 In the middle of the mother's interval for a short period of time, the forward direction and then the reverse direction are repeated and the movement is 33. This will allow the laundry to loosen, and thereby allow the laundry to spread evenly in the washing tank 3. This is done for Preparation for spin-drying. Figure 15 is a timing chart showing the performance of each constituent element from step 2 to step S406. A routine example shows the time allocation for each step: Step S423 (Powerful Vortex) ) For four minutes, step S424 (soft vortex) has four minutes and fifteen private _ step Zhi S425 (powerful vortex) has five seconds, and step S406 (all laundry = spread out) have-minutes and forty seconds. The total time door from step S423 to step s406 is ten knives 4. You can replace the gentle vortex cycle with a static cycle. When you select the "water injection cleaning operation," step S425 (powerful full rotation) The time was extended from five seconds to one minute and, as shown on the single-dot chain line, the main water supply pond was opened for water supply. At this time, the time for step S406 (the laundry spreads evenly) is forty-five seconds. When the vortex is generated, the motor 4 丨 will repeat in a cyclic manner: ON (turning in the positive direction) 'OFF, ON (turning in the reverse direction), and 0FF. 〇N (rotation) time to OFF (unmoved) time ratio will change, depending on the total amount of water and / or clothing 89392 -38- 200422472 quantity. Xin 4 ~ ° u Gong 'operating at rated backup load (〇Ν / OFF) is as follows: f ^ The time between the first month and the month is more than step S423 (strong vortex) step S424 (soft vortex) step S425 (strong vortex) ( The early position is in seconds) 1.9 / 0.7 0.6 / 10.0 1.4 / 1.0 Step S 4 0 6 (washing; τ 4 · A hu The agricultural matter spreads out evenly): 0.9 / 0.4 Washing process after taking out φ,, day 4, ~, In the case of adding to metal ions, compared with the case of # Λ entering metal ions, the total time of the process =, the need for gold metal ions-timing gate a ′ is longer. Since time I was completely attached to the laundry, the above-mentioned program was designed. Thereby, metal ions can be charged to 1 kg of laundry, thereby exhibiting an expected sterilization effect. Regardless of the total amount of water injection in the washing tank 30 and / or the clothing can be S423 (the time of strong rotation ... and the needle s4; 4 two strokes: two allocations are set to ... «Total water injection within the washing tank 30 The amount of time and / or the amount of clothing may change the time allocation for step S423 (Powerful Vortex), as well as the time allocation for step S424 (this and the full spin). In this way, "This report"> Wang Shuizong The ratio of the strong vortex cycle to the gentle vortex cycle is set according to the amount of clothes and the amount of clothes, so as to reduce the damage to the cloth and prevent unnecessary power consumption. Basically, it is best to add metal ions and a treatment agent separately (soft and smooth) This is because: when metal ions come into contact with the ingredients of the softener, they will become chemical compounds' and thus lose the antibacterial effect of the metal ions. However, before the washing process is completed, a considerable amount of metal ions are still cooking in the Wash 89392 -39- 200422472 in clean water. Furthermore, by appropriately setting the concentration of metal ions, the effect of losing metal ions can be compensated to a certain degree. Therefore, the more targeted Compared with the case of adding metal ions and treatment agent (softener) separately, by adding metal ions and treatment agent (softening agent) at the same time, the washing phase can be shortened; although the resistance to microorganisms is increased The efficiency will be slightly reduced, but it will lead to improved housework efficiency. Although it is unavoidable that metal ions and treatment agents (softeners) will be encountered in the washing cycle, but prevent them from each other before they enter the washing tank% Contact is desired. In the practice of the present invention, metal ions are added from the (wood softener) from the treatment agent chamber 5 to the washing tank 30. Because of the path for adding ions to the washing water, and for adding The path to the use is separated; therefore, gold and the treatment agent (softener) will not contact each other until they are encountered at the washing 3. Therefore, the character will be affected by contact with a high concentration of treatment agent (softener) 'And then lose its antibacterial effect. In pre-chemical &: the final washing operation was performed with the wrong presence of washing "water. However,' may also be by ': the final washing In this case, the injection water contains metal ions. In the case of 10,000 injection water cleaning operation, the Water, and thereby it is possible to form the necessary amount of metal ions attached to, without: reducing the water ionization during water injection washing operation: -degree. When emphasis is not placed on sterilization effect, it can supply = 89392 -40-200422472 Water of metal ions to suppress the consumption of the two electrodes ii3 and m. Adding metal ions (that is, the first treatment substance) and additives) [that is, the second treatment substance]-both can be selected. It is possible Two kinds: "One or two kinds of adding operations." When the two kinds of adding operations are not planned, the process will continue from step S420 to step: a Lu Φ Γ This has been described. From now on ', the addition of either of the two treatment substances will be described. * In step S421, 'When the treatment substance to be added is not both metal ions and the softener, this means that only one of them is selected to be added. In this case, the process will continue to step M%. In step S426, it is checked whether the treatment object f to be added is a metal ion. When it is determined that it is a metal ion, the flow proceeds to step M "; if not, the flow proceeds to step S428. In γ-viscosity S427, the main water supply valve 50a is opened, so water will flow into the main water supply m In the circuit 52a. The auxiliary water supply valve 50b is not opened. When the water flows through the ion stripping unit 100, the driving circuit i20 applies a voltage to the two electrodes m and 11 * < The ion is eluted into the water. When it is confirmed that a predetermined amount of water containing metal ions has been injected into the washing tank 30, and the predetermined metal ion in the washing water can be obtained by adding water containing no metal ions to a set level At the time of concentration, the application of voltage to the two electrodes 113 and 114 will be stopped. After the ion extraction unit 100 stops generating metal ions, the main water supply valve 50a will continue to supply water until the water level in the washing tank 30 reaches the set water level. After step S427, the flow continues to step S423. After that, according to 89392 -41- 200422472, the same manner as when metal ions and a treatment agent (softener) are added at the same time, The process will continue from step S423 (powerful spin full) to step and full spin), then to step S425 (powerful full spin), and then to step S: 6 (the laundry is spread evenly). It can be replaced by a stationary cycle Gently spin the full cycle. In step S426, 'If the processing substance to be added is not a metal ion, the processing substance is a processing agent (softener). In this case, the flow proceeds to step S428. In step S428 In the beginning, the main water supply valve pool and the auxiliary water supply 阙 were started, so the water was supplied to the Wang water supply channel 52a and the auxiliary water supply channel 52b. However, the ion elution = ⑽ did not work, so no metal ions were generated. It will cause a siphon effect Sufficient water is supplied to the treatment agent chamber 55, and 2 doses (softener) are put into the washing tank 3 through the red straw π, and then closed. "After closing the sub water supply valve 50b; the main feed water room 50a The water supply will be continued, and the water supply will stop when the water level in the strip washing tank 30 reaches the set water level. After V knows S428, the process will continue to step 23. After that, 7 is the same as when the metal ion and the treatment agent (softening agent) are added at the same time. From step S423 (strong spin full) to step S4 is called soft (Γ 衣 1) 'and then to step S425 (strong spin thirst). ), And then go to step S_ >, spread evenly). The gentle vortex period can be replaced by a stationary period. Strong it ’’s even when only one kind of treatment substance is added, it is intended to take each of the many steps from discrimination: to gentle spinning to strong spinning to ensure that the treatment substance is facing the laundry. However, since 89392 -42- 200422472 = ^ step time allocation for metal ions is not necessary (step _time distHbmi〇_), the step time allocation of the processing agent (softener) is equal, so do not adjust the step between the steps The type of substance. No: In the case of conditioner (softener): unlike the case of metal ions, it does not need to be used: it will adhere to the laundry for a long time. Therefore, it is possible to take only the second step. Step S423 (powerful rotation full time position 6 (laundry 2 '=), and can be completed into step S423 (powerful vortex) in a short time such as two minutes.) 2: The laundry cannot be evenly spread in 8 S406 Vibration is intense during the water process. By using physics such as contact sensors, speed sensors, and so on: ㈣ Analyze the voltage versus current pattern of the electric motor 41 (_2 inches due to uneven laundry spread Vibration. When uneven spreading of laundry is detected, the water rotates, and water supply and agitation are resumed to recover ;; Washing operation ". 4 〇 Evening operation = for medium = shown: for correcting uneven spreading of laundry Cleansing ::: Timing chart of performance. After completing the water supply ^ / See mid-month, the water was strongly stirred to change the laundry, and then, during the 2 cycle of initiation, the washing was gradually performed every short period of time. Disperse evenly in order to prepare to restart the spin-drying rotation. As in the second, the time distribution is: 2 minutes and 5 seconds of water supply, agitation i cycle: 2: agitation 2 cycle has 30 seconds., And 89392 -43- 200422472 During the agitation period, the motor 41 will be reloaded in the order of one eye.

The ratio of the time to the OFF time depends on the total water injection and / or the number of clothes. For example, the time ratio (⑽ is the second) during the operation with 颔 疋 load. 1 is only agitated 1: 1.9 / 0.7 agitation 2: 0.9 / 0.4. During the final washing process, t is detected during the addition of gold ㈣κ When the laundry is spread unevenly, the τ countermeasures for adding different ions to the apricot stone are different from when the laundry is detected. The first "different countermeasure" is: "supply the water containing the mouth to the metal ion to correct the laundry washing operation." In this way, the second supply of water is used to correct the laundry problem. Under the same circumstances, the effect of adding anti-pi 无 to metal ions for antibacterial treatment will not gradually decline. "For the laundry, the water containing metal ions being supplied is used to perform washing to unevenly spread the repairs. During the operation, it is best to take the right one. The number of metal particles to be added is smaller than the number of ions and the column number I in many previous processes. In this way, it is not necessary to add unnecessary large amounts of metal ions. In the past, the laundry was removed from the mountains, mountains, and workers' arms. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the consumption of metal ions. The second "different countermeasure" is: "supply water that does not contain all of the ^ mouth ions and Move it to perform the washing operation for correcting the laundry $ _ $ 叼 44 叼 Diao Zhengkai's washing operation, and instructed / or notified that the water being injected does not contain metal ions. ”When the laundry being corrected is not When the uniform sentence spreads out, the metal ions containing 89392 -44-200422472 are used at 8 o'clock, and the metal bells of the two electrodes 113 and 114 are connected together. , And no metal ions early. The time required for the lack of I Ding will be more significant. In the above-mentioned way, when the #m & 3 metal ion water is used to perform the washing operation that spreads out the 2 uneven sentences, in order to To suppress sound consumption 'is indicated by the display or words on the operation / display panel 81: the user is instructed and / or notified so that the user can understand that the expected antibacterial effect may not be obtained. The third "different countermeasure" is: "Stop dehydration rotation by detecting the positive, non-uniform M t β", and / or notify the laundry J Xi Zhengkai of the fact. "In this way, in The method of suppressing the antibacterial effect expected by consumers of metal ions is as follows: It is possible to obtain a washing operation to disperse unevenness, but to pass == to correct the unevenness of laundry. The laundry practice is open, and let them all use their hands as jealousy and eyes to understand the imbalance situation. Tian K's laundry is not evenly spread and adjusted for different occasions to adjust different countermeasures. # ^ 时 ' If the laundry is unevenly detected, it will be reported by using a clutch that contains all the genus * ...: The uneven cleaning and dispersing operation is called two electrodes 消耗 and 114 which consume metal ions in a short time. However, the genus also It is possible to suppress the two electrodes 113 and 114 by adjusting the two kinds of configuration τ a, 彳, and by adjusting a pair to correct the unevenness of the laundry without using the all-inclusive ^^. Consumption of "water that belongs to ions' washing machine" Many alternatives in terms of the type taught spoon Cloth Zhi-Kin Countermeasures for laundry unevenly detected and / or perform many rods and Ding Yi in order m are optional. 89392 -45- 200422472 In this way, 'the user is sure that he ’s hopeful. The countermeasures are possible. Also two: the user can give priority to: keep the South_ effect by using rich metal; or give priority to saving metal Ion. Road 2 ::::: wash & early 70100 'The drive circuit 120 strange current core controls the arpeggio pressure so that the electricity flowing between the two electrodes 113 and 114 :: 二: 精 此' each When the amount of eluted metal ions per unit time becomes constant but the amount of eluted metal ions in the mother's early position is constant, it can be controlled by controlling the total amount of water injection flowing through the ion elution unit 100 and the time of metal ion elution. The concentration of metal ions in the washing tank 30; thereby, the expected metal ion concentration can be easily obtained. That is, the current flowing between the two electrodes 113 and 114 is a direct current. If Taicheng is an alternating current, the following phenomenon occurs. That is, for example, when the gold 2 ions are both silver ions, when the polarity of the two electrodes is reversed, Miao Gu is: the extracted silver ions will be reacted by reverse (ie: Ag ++ e_—Ag) : Private pole However, in the straight In the case of current flow, this phenomenon does not occur. On one of the two electrodes U3 and 114, if it is filled with anions, dirt will be deposited. When the DC current continues to flow without reversing the polarity, if the amount of 'dirt deposition becomes larger', the current is limited, and the metal ion elution does not continue at a predetermined rate. In addition, there will be a phenomenon of "ne-sided depletion" (where: only one electrode being used in the apricot diode will eliminate the two at a faster rate than the other electrode. Therefore, in a circular manner Reverse the polarities of the two electrodes 13 and 114. Because they are used for metal ion elution, the two electrodes 113 and HA will be depleted one by one, and finally lead to a reduction in the rate of metal ion elution. Volume & 89392 -46-200422472, when the electrode has a long period of time, the metal ion elution rate will become unstable: it will not get the expected metal ion elution rate. Therefore, make the ion wash " ... 〇 become replaceable, and when the life of the two electrodes ⑴ and the end of the work period 'can be replaced with a new product. Moreover, the user is informed through the operation / consideration of the following facts: the use of the two electrodes 113 and 114 ', Almost expired, so many appropriate countermeasures should be adapted, such as replacing the ion elution unit 100., understand, can be used as an example and clearly described in any other different from the above formula Way to reality The present invention; and within the scope of the present invention 'many modifications or changes are possible. It is also to be understood that {: the present invention may be applied to any other type of washing machine that is different from that described in the embodiments described above; that is , Yueyue is suitable for all types of washing machines, such as: washing machines with horizontal drums (such as tmnbler type), washing machines with tilting drums (si_d r coffee), and washing machines that perform functions like dryers , And a washing machine with a separate double tank. Industrial applicability, regardless of whether the washing machine is intended for domestic use or industrial materials, the present invention naturally becomes widely used in many washing machines that try to use the antibacterial effect of metal ions.
