Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a washing machine for general household use.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In a conventional fully automatic washing machine that automatically performs washing, rinsing, and spin-drying, when a washing cycle is started, the progress of the washing is displayed on the panel of the main body of the washing machine.
The progress lamps for each rinse and spin cycle were flashing, or the remaining washing time was displayed digitally. Furthermore, at the end of the entire process, the end of the process was notified to the user by the sound of a buzzer, as shown in FIG.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The conventional method of displaying the progress of the process or sounding a buzzer at the end of the process is not enough, for example, for laundry items that do not need to be washed but only need to be rinsed and dehydrated, such as towels and handkerchiefs. , I had to get close to the washing machine to figure out when to add more laundry. Also, I had to keep an eye on the laundry time. - In view of the above problems, the present invention aims to improve usability by notifying the user of the end of each process.

Means to solve problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a washing machine.

A buzzer sounds at the end of each process of rinsing and dehydration.

Effect: With the above configuration, it is possible to notify the end of each stroke. Therefore, when making changes such as adding laundry items at the end of washing, even if you are far from the washing machine, you can easily be notified of the progress status and wash more efficiently. .

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG.

Figure 1 shows the standard process from washing to rinsing and spin-drying, and the water supply for this washing process.

When washing ■ is completed, a buzzer is sounded, for example, twice (buzzer I■). Immediately after the buzzer I■ sounds, the first drain ■ process of the next rinsing process begins. The user can tell that the washing process has finished even if the user is at a distance from the main body of the washing machine by the two-blow sound of the buzzer (I). Therefore, if there are clothes such as towels or handkerchiefs that do not need washing but only need rinsing in the process after rinsing, you can go to the washing machine and throw the clothes in during the draining process. Normally, this draining process (3) takes one minute or more, which is enough time to go to the washing machine and load the clothes, and there is no need to temporarily stop the operation of the washing machine. Therefore, no extra time is required, and the only thing that is longer than the conventional method is the sounding time of the buzzer I. Normally, the buzzer's sounding cycle is ON for 0.5 seconds.
The time is approximately 0.5 seconds 0FFC11 seconds, which is a time that does not pose a problem as it only increases by a few seconds when the buzzer sounds several times. Similarly, when the final rinse B of the rinse process of step ■ is completed, the buzzer ■■ is sounded.

The number of times this buzzer sounds is three times, unlike the buzzer I■. After this buzzer sounds, the next step is drainage■
Move to. At this time, if there are clothes that only need to be dehydrated, they can be thrown into the washing tub during this draining process. Then, when the final dehydration process (2) is completed, the buzzer (m2) is sounded in the same manner as before. The number of blasts at this time is 4.

As mentioned above, we have described an example in which each stroke is indicated by the number of times the buzzer sounds for each stroke.
The same effect can be achieved by changing the OFF cycle or changing the tone.

Effect of the invention As is clear from the above examples, washing and rinsing.

At the end of each spin cycle, a buzzer sounds to notify the end of each cycle, so you can know when to put in the clothes you want to rinse, spin only, or spin only, and wash effectively. Can be done.
