Description

200413595 Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to an antibacterial treatment device which can perform antibacterial treatment of washing with metal ions. [Prior art] When washing with a washing machine, processing materials are usually added to water (especially washing water). General processing substances are softeners and fillings. In addition, recently, there has been an increasing demand for processing which has antibacterial properties. From your point of view, the wash should be exposed to the sun. However, in recent years, the employment rate of women has increased and the development of small families has increased, and families with no one at home have increased. This family can only work indoors. Even in the courtyard where there are still people at home at noon, it is still indoors to dry in the rain. — Drying indoors is more prone to multiplying bacteria and mildew than washing after drying. 7 This situation is more significant when the laundry needs to be dried for a long period of time such as during the rainy season, such as high humidity and low temperature. When the bacterial reproduction is serious, the washing bar will emit a foul odor. Therefore, 'Usually only families in Beijing can be used indoors. For this reason, it is urgent to implement an antibacterial treatment jW on the fabrics. 〇 Get closer to the clothing that performs antibacterial deodorization and antibacterial processing on the fiber. All fiber products in the home are used to complete the antibacterial deodorization plus: not easy. In addition, the effect of antibacterial and deodorizing processing will be reduced with repeated washing. τ Therefore, the concept of antibacterial treatment of the laundry is generated in the laundry. For example, as disclosed in the Japanese Published Patent Gazette "Shikaihei 5_Issue 7":

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC 200413595 An electric washing machine equipped with an ion generating machine, which generates silver ions, copper ions and other metal ions with germicidal power. Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication "Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-93691" discloses a washing machine that can be sterilized in nail polish washing liquid by generating an electric field. Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication "Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-276484" discloses a washing machine including a silver ion adding unit that adds silver ions to washing water. Furthermore, in the antibacterial treatment method in the first step, the use of metal ion is effective and practical. It involves immersing a pair of electrodes in water, and by applying a voltage 'between the four electrodes, metal ions are eluted from the anode electrode. For example, when the anode is silver, the reaction of AP Ag + + e- is caused when the voltage is applied, and the silver is separated and Ag is removed. After dehydration, before the laundry is dried, the metal (such as silver) is present in ionic form to exert sterilization function. After washing and drying, the silver is not: the ion @ is in the form of silver salt, but when it is immersed in water again, it will be ionized again * to restore the bactericidal power. In other words, it means that antibacterial coating is applied to the surface of the laundry. When performing antibacterial treatment (anti-spray application) on the strip washing material as described above, an ion elution unit that puts a pair of electrodes into the box should be installed in the washing machine. However, various components are arranged inside the washing machine, in order to avoid the increase in size of the washing machine; I; it is easy to remove the space for the ion elution unit. In addition, the built-in ion elution unit can be used only for antibacterial treatment, and provides sufficient convenience for consumers. Probably, the electrode of the sub-eluting unit is gradually consumed as it is used. When metal ionization and dilumination are used for a long time, the elution amount of metal ions is unstable, and a specific elution amount cannot be ensured. So long-term ion elution sheets

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC 200413595 Yuan needs to be replaced entirely, or at least the electrode needs to be replaced. Then Γ is that the ion elution unit is installed in a washing machine. If the washing machine is not disassembled ::: replacement, it is a very burdensome operation for the user. In order to reduce the performance of the second operation, although it is also considered to use the opening and closing σ of the design, u material · early 4 installed in the washing machine. This will complicate the structure of the washing machine, resulting in increased manufacturing costs. [Summary of the Invention] The problem of the above bacteria, the object of the present invention is to easily combine the ion elution unit that can elute metal ions in the washing-resistant water to replace the washing unit. Not used. In addition, “Ion can be easily carried out. The second person: The purpose is that even if the water supply device (such as a washing machine) does not originally generate the metal ion generating part, it can still easily achieve the same function as the water supply device with ion generation plutonium. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention proposes an antibacterial treatment device with the following structure including: an ion elution unit, which is connected to electric metal ions; and a power supply unit of the ion elution unit; Sixth, the ion-eluting system ",: σ" is connected to the water supply soft and the outlet, / 'is detachably connected to the water supply valve of the washing machine. Yuan Youzao: In the water supply department of the washing machine, the ion elution list is added. L: The same as the former. That is, the existing washing machine can be transferred to a washing machine with an antibacterial treatment function. In addition, the replacement of the ion elution unit after a long period of use is extremely simple. ,

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC 200413595 () " Ion washing unit, which generates metal ions by applying a voltage between the electrodes; and the ion elutes on the single sheet 1 to produce a private source as early as 70. Where, Li Shu ion eluted at least a part of the star for π, * /, a box that can be submerged in water, the box directs water to the aforementioned electrode and the water inlet is set in the aforementioned submersible part. Because this structure makes the ions, # — mouth lead the water into a "box immersed in water, and from the water machine" | TK metal ion elution ', so there is no need to install and maintain a special structure of the ion elution unit in the laundry. . In addition, it is also connected to the water elution unit to the ion elution unit. In addition, since the ion elution operation is performed in: = water, a homogeneous branded water can be generated. For example, metal ions can be attached to the laundry evenly and uniformly, and the uniform antibacterial content of the pieces is _ x a ^. In addition, long-term use causes the ion elution list = to reduce the material force, just discard the old unit, and make the new unit, the replacement procedure of the single 7G is simple. = ’Those who can immerse the ion elution unit in water, in addition to the laundry ^ of the washing machine, can also be a container for the box of the ion elution unit. Therefore, Keli: buckets: washbasins and cups can generate water containing metal ions. Therefore, if n 仏% of the handkerchief is used, a small amount of water containing metal ions in a small handkerchief can be generated in a small container to avoid waste of water resources. Power on. In the above-mentioned antibacterial treatment device, the aforementioned power supply unit is constructed of a battery, and can be subjected to antibacterial treatment in a place where a commercial power source cannot be used, or in a household where the number of sockets is insufficient even though a commercial power source is connected. (4) The above antibacterial treatment dream ^ Timer for power-on time. , Chinese, just described editing unit with set counter electrode

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC 200413595 The structure can control the power-on time to elute the metal ions in the amount of water for immersion and washing, which can ensure the required metal ion concentration and improve the reliability of antibacterial treatment. — (5) In the antibacterial treatment device described above, at least a part of the case constitutes a see-through portion where the internal electrodes can be observed. With this structure, the state of the electrodes inside the ion elution unit can be confirmed visually. Thereby, the user can judge the replacement time of the ion elution unit 从 from the consumption state of the electrode, and the unit can be replaced before the function is severely reduced. Therefore, the ion eluting unit can be used with sufficient antibacterial treatment ability at any time. (6) The antibacterial treatment device of the present invention includes an ion generating unit that generates metal ions added to water supplied from a water supply device to a water supply object. Front: The structure of the ion generating unit may be provided in the aforementioned water supply so as to be removable. Outside the device 'and (from the tap of the tap water) to the water supply line of the aforementioned water supply device. ^ ^ At this time, if the above-mentioned ion generating part can be assumed as follows: (a) By applying electricity between a pair of electrodes, and the elution electrode constituting the ion of the metal of the elution electrode and the tritium are filled with metal in the cylinder Ion eluting material (if it is a silver eluting material, it is silver sulfide, etc.), and metal ions are eluted by passing water through the cylinder. Since the above-mentioned structure can be provided with an ion generating portion after the water supply device (such as a washing machine), even if the water supply device originally did not have an ion generating portion, it can still easily achieve the same function as a water supply device having an ion generating portion. Therefore, there is no need to replace the water supply device, and the existing water supply device can be effectively used. In addition, since the ion generating section can be

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -11-200413595 can be removed freely, so it can be easily replaced. (7) In the above-mentioned antibacterial treatment device, the ion generating section may be constituted by an ion-eluting early element having a built-in (at least two) electrodes' and the water flowing into the unit body. This structure is such that when a voltage is applied between a pair of electrodes, the elution electrode constitutes all ions (allium ions, ions, and ions), and adds force to the water flowing into the body of the unit = belongs to the sub-port. The elution unit is supplied to a water supply object (such as a washing machine) through a water supply device, so the effect of the metal ion (such as an antibacterial effect) can be confirmed in the water supply object. = In addition, the number of electric cancers can be a pair (2 pieces) or more. Even when there are 3 and 4 pieces of house electrodes, # by applying a voltage to these electrodes, metal ions can still be eluted, and the desired effect of transferring metal ions can be obtained. In the above-mentioned antibacterial place, the structure of the ion elution unit may further include: a first connection part, which is a first hose or a water supply unit that flows the water from the water supply unit 2 of the unit body tray. The aforementioned faucet is connected, such as the second connection part, which connects the aforementioned unit body with the second hose or the aforementioned water supply device for the water supplied to the aforementioned & clothing set. = The construction borrow connection part can be directly or via the first- The hose e connects the ion elution unit to the tap of the tap water. In addition, the ion elution list can be added directly or indirectly via the second hose through the second hose: plus to: water device. Therefore, borrow By combining these connection methods, the water supply pipeline from the water tap to the water supply device can be ionized, and the long-distance ancient combat and WM workers can be carved out. Σ This can be realized according to the user The last 5 methods are needed to set the ion elution unit.

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -12- 200413595 T The above-mentioned anti-μ county is centered, and the structure of the aforementioned electrode body is integrally formed. What's more, the early sword knife does not constitute the electrode fish, but it needs to be filled with a single ΓΓ electrode in the unit, and the body is separated into at least two frames. At this time, water leakage may occur at the joint portion of the two separated frames, and the water retention property may decrease. j ， k 成 畨 封 However, when the electrode and the single forest body are formed integrally in the present invention, it is at the position of the above-mentioned bonding portion, so no field maintenance is required to maintain the tightness of the unit body. It is also possible to confirm the shape of the above-mentioned anti-g button device towel, the material water of the forehead forest material flows out to a direction different from that of the aforementioned water inflow. With this structure, even if the direction in which water flows into the unit body is vertical, the direction in which the water flows out can be made horizontal. Therefore, even if the water supply and the distance of the ion wire unit are too close, it is still possible to avoid excessive bending of the second hose connecting the ion elution unit and the water supply device, and it can be easily extended. ⑼ The structure of the antibacterial treatment device may further include a drive unit for driving the ion elution unit, and the drive unit may include a voltage generating portion 'which generates a pressure applied to the electrodes of the ion elution unit. For example, the voltage generating unit may include a built-in battery, a plug inserted into a household outlet, a connection cord, and a slave adapter. The voltage generated by the voltage generating section of the driving unit is applied to the electricity of the ion elution unit.

The electrode is used to drive the ion elution unit, and the function of eluting metal ions by the Z electrode of the ion elution unit can be reliably performed. O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -13- 200413595 (12) In the above-mentioned antibacterial treatment device, the structure of the anion precursor eluted with early ion can also be further equipped with detection means. It is useful to detect the inside of the early TL body in the double-row test. At least one of water flow and its flow. … The detection means detects the presence or absence of water flow inside the unit body, and the drive unit applies voltage to the electrodes only when there is water flow. Thereby, only when the water to which metal ions are to be added flows, a necessary portion of the metal ions is eluted, and water with a stable and required concentration of metal ions can be supplied. In addition, when there is no water flow, that is, in the state where water with added metal ions is not present, applying voltage to the electrodes consumes power in vain, and the above structure can prevent the drive unit from consuming power. In addition, when the detection means detects the flow rate of the water flow inside the single forest body, if the drive unit can change the voltage applied to the electrode or the current flowing into the electrode according to its flow rate, the elution amount of the metal ions can be changed. Therefore, even if the supply area of the device is changed, the water flow rate supplied to the water supply device is changed, or the water flow rate to the water supply object (such as a washing machine) is intentionally changed. The metal is changed by the drive unit according to the above flow rate. Ion elution amount, any flow rate can keep the metal ion concentration of the water to which metal ions are added to be approximately constant. In this way, the amount of metal ions required for the antibacterial treatment is not exceeded or insufficient, and the required antibacterial treatment can be appropriately performed. (13) In the above-mentioned antibacterial treatment device, the structure of the detection means may have a rotor that is rotated by the passage of the water; a magnet that is enclosed in the rotor; and a magnetic detection unit that is based on the rotor. The magnetic change generated by the magnet when rotating is used to detect the presence or absence of at least one of the water flow and the flow rate.

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -14- 200413595 When the rotor rotates through the inside of the unit body through water, the magnet contained in the rotor also rotates', and the magnetism (magnetic beam, magnetic field) generated by the magnet changes. Therefore, the presence or absence of water flow inside the unit body can be detected by the magnetic detection unit to detect the change in the magnetism, that is, whether water has passed through the inside of the unit body. In addition, the magnetic detection unit detects the number of renewal periods of the magnetic change per unit time, can detect the number of revolutions per unit time of the rotor, and can detect the flow of water into the unit body. Therefore, the detection means is constituted by including a rotor, a magnet, and a magnetic detection unit as described above, and it is possible to reliably detect at least one of the presence or absence of water flow and the flow rate in the saponin body based on the magnetic change of the magnet. ⑽ In the above-mentioned antibacterial treatment device, the structure of the drive unit may further include a control section 'which controls the electric power generated by the voltage generating section to be applied to the front', the control section detects the next day guard at the magnetic detection section, Seven voltages are applied to the aforementioned electrodes. The above structure starts to flow into the water | L enters into the body of the early salamander (that is, when it is judged that the metal ions are added to the water), Di — ^ T applies a voltage to the electrode to elute the metal ions. Therefore, when there is no water flow in the unit body (that is, when it is not necessary to add metal ions to the water, ^ ρ ', r τ) τ avoids the power consumption of the driving unit when the voltage is applied to the electrode. (15) If the above-mentioned antibacterial treatment jacket is placed in the middle, the structure of the driving unit may also be controlled by the control unit 'which controls the voltage generated by the aforementioned electric ink generating unit to be added before the ... …, Changing the applied pressure or the current flowing into the electrode according to the detected flow rate. Electricity of the sense electrode

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -15- 200413595 Depending on the installation area and installation location of the water supply device, the flow of water supplied from the tap of the tap water to the water supply device may be different. However, the driving unit with the above structure = changes the electric current applied to the electrode or the current flowing into the electrode according to the water flow in the unit body, and changes the eluted amount of metal ions according to the above flow, so regardless of the installation area and setting of the water supply device Regardless of the place, the metal ion concentration of the metal ion water can be kept substantially constant. In this way, the amount of metal ions required for the antibacterial treatment is not exceeded or insufficient, and the required antibacterial treatment can be appropriately performed. 〇6) In the above-mentioned antibacterial treatment device, the structure of the aforementioned detection means may be designed to be separable from the aforementioned unit unit. The above structure k means that when the grass body needs to be replaced due to electrode consumption in the unit body, the detection means need not be replaced, and the detection means can be effectively utilized. In addition, if the detection method needs to be replaced due to a failure, etc., it is not necessary to replace the electrodes in the unit, and the electrodes can be effectively used. (17) In the above-mentioned antibacterial treatment device, the structure of the aforementioned drive unit may also be further provided with: a vibration sensor 'which is provided outside the aforementioned water supply device, and detects the need to elute metal ions based on the vibration of the aforementioned water supply device At this time, d + and the control unit are used to control the application of the electrodes before the electric migration generated by the aforementioned electric a generating unit; when the aforementioned control unit detects the ¥ period, the aforementioned control unit applies the aforementioned Voltage. When the main water supply device is constituted by a washing machine, the washing machine performs: washing steps, washing steps, dehydration steps, and drying steps. And because the operation method of the long washing step is different (for example, the rotation speed of the washing step is different), the vibration of the water supply device in each of the two washing steps is also different.

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -16- 200413595 In addition, the elution of the metal ions can be performed at least after the washing step. Because of this, even in the washing step, the metal ion-added water is supplied to the laundry, and in the next washing step, when the metal ion-free water is used, the metal ions are still lost, and the metal ions cannot be attached to the strip washing object. The previous supply of metal ions wasted and inefficient □ In these 6 cases, the 'cleaning step' is the period during which the metal ions can be effectively attached to the wash and the metal ions need to be eluted. In addition, the vibration sensor can use the following method to detect the period when metal ions need to be eluted based on the vibration of the water supply device. For example, the vibration sensor detects the washing steps that require the elution of metal ions by forming vibration tanks with different rotation speeds such as washing tanks, stirring members (pullsator), and motors that constitute the water supply device. Such as cleaning steps). When the vibration sensor detects that the metal ion needs to be eluted based on the vibration of the water supply device (in the above example, during the operation of the cleaning step), the control unit applies a voltage to the electrode of the ion elution unit to elute the metal Ions can be automatically eluted when metal ions need to be eluted. That is, in this case T, it is not necessary to cause a rider to apply voltage to the electrodes to turn on / off, and the metal ions can be eluted only in a more effective step. (18) In the above-mentioned antibacterial treatment device, the structure of the drive unit may be detachably disposed outside the water supply device. The position of the drive unit can be assumed to be outside the water supply device and the side wall near the water supply device. The drive unit can be freely removed and placed outside the water supply device. An ion elution unit and drive unit can be added later. Therefore, even if the existing water supply device is not equipped with an ion elution unit, it is still easy to realize the same function as the water supply and piercing function provided with the ion elution unit and the drive unit. Therefore, the existing supply of money # is replaced with the existing water supply device. In addition, since the drive unit is installed in and replaced by the battery, it is also easy to be external: Therefore, when the failure unit and the battery reach the end of life, the drive unit, (19) of the above-mentioned antibacterial treatment device, the structure of the aforementioned water supply device can also supply water to A washing machine for water supply objects. When the device is a washing machine, since the antibacterial treatment device of the present invention can be added to the washing machine afterwards, even the existing washing machine can still achieve the same function as a washing machine that can elute metal-ion # The effects of the present invention described above are obtained.

If necessary, put the additive in the additive room 55 of the water supply port 53. In addition, ―additives may be put in the middle of the washing step. After the preparation of the detergent is completed, the cover 6 is closed, and the operation button group of the operation / display section 81 is operated to select the washing conditions. Finally, the start button is pressed, and the washing step is performed according to the flowchart of FIG. 3 to FIG. 6. Fig. 3 is a flowchart showing the entire washing step. In step §20.1, it is confirmed whether there is a so-called scheduled operation in which remote washing is started at a set time. When the scheduled operation is selected, the process proceeds to step S206. If not selected, the process proceeds to step S202. When it progresses to step S206, it is confirmed whether it is time to start operation. When the start operation time is reached, the process proceeds to step S202. In step S202, it is determined whether a washing step is selected. When the laundry step is selected, the process proceeds to step S300. The content of the washing step in step S300 is explained in the flowchart of FIG. 4. After the washing step is completed, proceed to the steps. When the washing step is not selected remotely, it proceeds directly from step S202 to step S203. In step S203, it is confirmed whether a cleaning step is selected. When selecting, proceed to step S400. The content of the cleaning step in step S400 is additionally described in the flowchart O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -22- 200413595 in FIG. 5. After the cleaning step is completed, the process proceeds to step S204. When the cleaning step is not selected, it proceeds directly from step S203 to step S204. In step S204, it is confirmed whether a dehydration step is selected. When selecting, proceed to step S500. The content of the dehydration step in step S500 is described in addition in the flowchart of FIG. After the dehydration step is completed, the process proceeds to step S205. When the dehydration step is not selected, the process proceeds directly from step S204 to step S205. In step S205, the end processing of the control unit 80 (especially the arithmetic device (the pen) included therein) is automatically performed in order. The completion of the washing step is signaled by the ending sound. After all the steps are over, the washing machine 1 prepares for the next washing step—and stands by in the OFF state. Continuing 'The steps of washing, washing, and dehydrating will be described with reference to Figs. 4 to 6. Figure 4 is a flowchart of the washing steps. In step $ 301, the water level switch 71 obtains the water level data in the detected washing tank 30. In step 3302, confirm whether the capacity sensing is selected. When selected, the process proceeds to step S308. If it is not selected, it proceeds directly from step S302 to step S303. In step S308, the amount of laundry is measured by the rotation load of the stirring blade 33. After the capacity sensing, the process proceeds to step S303. In step S303, the main water supply valve 50a is opened, and water is injected into the washing tank 30 through the main water supply pipe 52a and the water supply port 53. The laundry detergent placed in the laundry detergent chamber 54 of the water supply port 53 is also mixed with water and put into the washing tub 30. The drain valve 68 is closed. After the water level switch 71 detects the set water level, the main water supply valve 50a is closed. Then, the process proceeds to step S304. In step S304, the fusion operation is performed. That is, the mixing blade d rotates in the reverse direction, and the laundry is shaken in the water to fuse the laundry with the water. This allows the water to be fully absorbed by the washing O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -23- 200413595. And exhaust the air accumulated in the laundry. Result of the operation of fused people 'When the water level detected by the water level switch 71 is lower than the original setting, open the main water supply valve 5 (^ to replenish moisture to restore the set water level in step S305. In addition,' remotely select to perform the cloth sensing ' During the program, cloth sensing is continuously applied during the fusion operation. After the fusion operation, the change of the water level from the set water level is detected. When the water level is lower than a predetermined value, it is judged that the cloth has high water absorption. In step S305 After obtaining a stable set water level, the process proceeds to step s306. The motor 41 rotates the stirring blade 33 in a specific mode according to the user's setting, and forms a main water flow for washing in the washing tank 30. The main water flow is used for washing When the dewatering shaft 44 is braked by the brake device 43, even if the washing water and laundry move, the washing tank 30 does not rotate. After the end of the main water flow, the process proceeds to step S307. In step S307, the stirring blade 33 is briefly reversed Clean the laundry, so that the laundry is evenly dispersed in the washing tank 30. This is to prepare the spin-drying rotation of the washing tank 30. Continue, and explain the cleaning steps according to the flowchart of FIG. 5 The first step is the dehydration step in step S50G, which is described by the flowchart in Figure 6. After the dehydration, the step proceeds to step S401. In step 3401, if the main water supply valve 5 is opened, the water is supplied to the set level. _After the water supply, Go to step S402. In step 002, perform the fusion operation. The fusion operation is the same as that performed in step S304 of the laundry step. After the fusion operation, proceed to step S403. As a result of the fusion operation, the water level detected by the water level switch 71 is low. At the time of the original water level, #open the main water supply valve_to add water to restore the set water level.

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -24- 200413595 f After returning to the water level set in step S403, proceed to step S404. The motor 41 knows the setting of the user, and rotates the mixing wing 33 in a specific pattern to form a main water flow for washing in the washing tank 30. The laundry is washed by the main water flow. When the dewatering shaft 44 is braked by the brake device 43, even if the washing water and the laundry move, the washing tub 30 does not rotate. After the period of main water flow ends, the process proceeds to step S405. In step 3405, the stirring wings 33 are turned shortly to unwind the washings. Thereby, the laundry is evenly dispersed in the washing tub 30, and the spin-drying is prepared. In the above description, the "-accumulation cleaning" is performed by pre-accumulating the washing water in the washing tank 30, but some of them rotate the washing tank at a low speed and perform the "injection water injection" from the water supply port 53 at the same time. Whichever method is used, or both, is determined by the user's choice. Continuing, the content of the dehydration step will be described according to the flowchart of FIG. 6. First, the drain valve 68 is opened in step S501. The washing water in the washing tub 30 is drained through the drain space 66. The drain valve 68 is continuously opened during the dehydration step. After most of the washing water is extracted from the washing material I, the clutch device and the brake device 43 are switched. The switching time of the clutch device 42 and the brake device 43 may be before the drainage is started, or may be simultaneously with the drainage. At this time, the motor "rotates the dewatering shaft 44. By this, the washing tank 30 performs dewatering rotation. The stirring blade 33 also rotates at the same time as the strip washing tank 30. When the washing tank 30 rotates at a speed, the laundry is squeezed by centrifugal force It is pressed against the inner peripheral wall of the washing tank 30. The washing water contained in the laundry is also concentrated on the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the washing tank. However, as mentioned above, the washing tank 30 expands in a tapered angle, and therefore receives centrifugal force. The line of water is on the inside of money slot 3 ()

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -25- 200413595 liters. After the washing strip water flows to the upper end of the washing tank 30, it is discharged from the dewatering hole 3 丨. The washing water leaving the dewatering hole 31 is thrown to the inner surface of the water tank 20, and passes through the inner surface of the water tank 20 to enter the bottom of the water tank 20. Then, the above-mentioned washing water passes through the drain pipe 6 丨 and is continuously discharged out of the outer box 10 through the drain hose 60. The structure of the flowchart of FIG. 6 'is a step of dewatering operation at a relatively low speed in step S502 and a step of dewatering operation at a high speed in step S503. After step s5, go to step S504. In step S504, the power to the motor 41 is turned off, and the stop process is performed. The 'water supply valve 50' is connected to the ion eluting unit 100 via a connection pipe 5 丨. The structure and function of the ion elution unit 100 and the role played by the installation in the washing machine 1 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9. 7 and 8 are cross-sectional views of the ion elution unit 100, in which FIG. 7 is a vertical cross-sectional view and FIG. 8 is a horizontal cross-sectional view shown by a model.

The inflow port 111 has a male screw portion 111a on the outside, and the outflow port 112 has a female screw portion 112a on the inside. By screwing the female screw portion 112a of the outflow port 112 with the male screw portion provided outside the connection officer 51, the box 丨 10 is connected to the connection pipe 5 and communicates with the water supply valve 50. An o-ring (0) is arranged at the deepest part of the female screw section 12a.

The male screw portion 丨 i la of the inflow port 11 1 is screwed with a nut-shaped connection tool 11b (see FIG. 1). The connector lllb is fixed at one end of the water supply hose 18

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -26- 200413595 at the inlet 1 1 1. The other end of the water supply hose 丨 80 is connected to the tap of the tap water (not shown in the figure). The connection state of the machine outlet 112 to the connection pipe 51 and the connection state of the water supply hose 1 to the inflow port U 1 are not limited to the above-mentioned screwing method. It can also be used as a grommet and a connector with a spring-clamping method. Any water pipe related connection structure commonly used in homes. In addition, in the present embodiment, the outlet 112 is connected to the connection pipe 51 protruding above the front panel 12 of the washing machine, but the connection object of the outlet 112 is not limited to this. Any constituent element between the water supply valve 50 and the outlet port -112 can also be connected. The outlet 112 can also be connected directly to the water supply valve 50 according to the structure of the washing machine. It is only necessary to meet the conditions that the outlet 112 is detachably connected to the water supply valve 50, and the removal and installation is performed outside the washing machine. The case 110 has an opening at the end on the side of the inflow port 111, and two plate-shaped electrodes 113, 114 are inserted therefrom. The electrodes 113 and 114 are made of a metal that produces antibacterial metal ions, that is, silver, copper, zinc, and the like. If the electrodes 113 and 114 can be 2 cm X 5 cm, the thickness is about 1 mm. The terminals 113 and 114 have terminals 115 and 116 on each end. The disc-shaped cover 117 combined with the opening of the case 11 is fixed to the cover 117 by penetrating the terminals ι5, ι6, and the electrodes 113, 114 at intervals. When the opening of the box U0 is covered with the lid 7, the electrodes 113 and 114 are fixed in the box 110 in a form extending in the axial direction of the box 110. A cylindrical waterproof cover 118 is fixed on the 117. A power cable 119 extending from the power supply unit 101 (refer to FIG. 1) enters the waterproof cover 118. Power cable 丨 19 in

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -27- 200413595 has insulated core wires 11 9a, 119b inside. In the waterproof cover 118, an insulated core wire 119a is connected to the terminal 115, and an insulated core wire 119b is connected to the terminal 116. Appropriate waterproof sealing is performed between the box 110 and the cover 117, between the cover 117 and the electrodes 115 and 116, between the cover 117 and the waterproof cover 118, and between the waterproof cover us and the power supply cable n9 to prevent water from invading and waterproofing. Cover 118. The power supply unit 101 includes a driving circuit for the ion elution unit 100, which will be described in detail later. In addition to the power supply cables 1-9, a power cord 102 connected to a commercial power source also extends from the power supply unit 101. Inside the box 110 ', water flows from the inflow inlet 1 to the outflow outlet i i 2 and flows parallel to the -length direction of the electrodes 113, 114. When a specific voltage is applied to the electrodes 113, 114 in the state where water is present in the cell 110, the metal ions of the electrode constituent metals elute from the anode sides of the electrodes 113, 114. FIG. 9 is a circuit configuration diagram of a driving circuit 12 of the ion elution unit 100. The transformer 122 is connected to a commercial power source 12ι, 1 through a power switch 132.

The transistor ^ and the diode Di constitute a photoelectric converter 151, and the transistor and the diode 光电 constitute a photoelectric converter 152. That is, the diode m That is, it is the optical power supply voltage (Vdd) and the body and transistor Q1, which is the photoelectric transistor. ^ The voltage of the gate level is supplied from the microcomputer 13 0 to the line 11 and the low level voltage or 0ff is provided on the line L2. (Zero voltage), the diode D2 is turned on, and the transistor Q2 is also turned on. When the crystal Q2 is turned on, the inflow current R7 is biased at the base of the next day solar body Q3, and the transistor is connected. In addition, 'D1 is disconnected (0FF), so the transistor Q4 is also disconnected. At the core of the π coin 4 ^ X, the package > from the anode electrode 丨 J 3 flows to the cathode side The electrode 114 〇Μ 昝, heterogeneous 2 丄 丄 b generates metal ions and anions in the ion elution unit 100. In the ion elution unit 100, When a current flows in the direction, the electrode 113 on the anode side in FIG. 9 is consumed, and fouling is caused by the fixing of the shell on the electrode ιΐ4 on the side. This will cause the performance of the ion elution unit to be reduced. The electrode driving circuit 150 is operated by the electrode cleaning mode. U The forced f-electrode cleaning mode is a microcomputer 13 0 switching control to switch the line to the current day: the two voltages are reversed and the current flows in the opposite direction between the electrodes 113 and 114. On the second day, aMQ1 and Q4 are turned on, and transistors Q2 and Q3 are turned off. The microcomputer 13 and s timer functions perform the above switching when a certain value is reached.

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -29- 200413595 Due to the change in resistance in the electrode driving circuit 150, especially when the current of the electrodes ιΐ3, ιΐ4 is reduced, the current flowing between the electrodes is reduced, and the current is stable. The circuit 125 increases its output voltage to prevent a reduction in current. However, when the accumulated use time is too long, the ion eluting unit ⑽ reaches the end of its useful life, and even if it is switched to the mandatory electrode cleaning mode and the output voltage of the current stabilization circuit 125 is increased, the current cannot be prevented from decreasing. Therefore, this circuit monitors the current flowing between the electrodes 113 and 114 by the voltage generated by the resistor R7, and when the current reaches a specific value, it can be detected by the current detection circuit 16 . The information of the detected minimum current value 'is transmitted from the photodiode D3 constituting the photoelectric conversion coupler 163 to the microcomputer 13 through the photoelectric crystallographer. Microcomputer} It is difficult to drive the warning notification means ⑶ by the line L3 to perform specific warning notification. The warning notification means 131 is constituted by LEDs and appropriate display means of the LCD panel #, and is arranged outside the box of the power supply unit 101. In addition, for a short circuit or the like occurring in the electrode driving circuit 150, a current detection circuit i6i is provided to detect a current greater than a specific maximum current value, and the microcomputer drives a warning notification means based on the output of the current detection circuit 161 (3). In addition, when the minimum value of the output voltage of the current stabilization circuit 125 is: When the MEMS circuit 162 detects the microcomputer 13 drives the warning notification means 13 in the same manner. The microcomputer 130 is connected to a timing crying M 1Π1 _ male 133. The timer 133 has an operation portion on the outside of the case of the power supply unit. With Jiujiaimu as the # 作 部, you can set the appropriate time. An antibacterial treatment device including an ion elution unit 100 and a power supply unit 101

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -30-200413595 is used as follows. First, an outlet port U2 of the ion elution unit ιο is attached to the connection pipe 51 of the washing machine. Connect the water supply hose ⑽ to the floating population 1U. Open the faucet connected to the other end of the water supply hose 180, and let water flow into the box 110 of the ion elution unit ⑽. The actual inflow of water is when the water supply valve 50 is opened. The power cord 102 of the power unit 101 is connected to a socket of a commercial power source. The power supply unit only needs to be fixed to the side or the top of the washing machine W by suitable installation means. Metal ions are introduced in the cleaning step. In the flowchart of FIG. 5, when entering the step S401 (water supply) stage, the power switch 132 is turned on, and the electrodes ⑴, ... are energized to elute the metal ions constituting the electrodes into the water. When the metal constituting the electrode is silver, a reaction of Ag to Ag ++ e · occurs on the electrode on the anode side, and the silver ion Ag + elutes into water. The current flowing between the electrodes is DC. Contains: Genus ion water from the water supply port 53 into the washing tank 30. How long it takes to power on is set by timer 133. The time required for the m k metal ion concentration to reach a certain level is determined by the amount of water in the washing water. Therefore, the time setting of the timer 133 is performed by estimating the amount of washing water. At this time, it is only necessary to prepare a conversion table in which the amount of washing water is compared with the power-on time required for the amount of water. The conversion table can be displayed by appropriate means such as pasting, printing, and engraving on the surface of the ion elution unit. A conversion table may be provided on the power supply unit 101. The washing water is injected in step S401 (water supply), and is performed by the autonomous water supply valve 50a. Set the flow rate of water injection to finish the ion washing before the washing water injection is completed. Contains: A specific amount of cleaning water with a fixed concentration of metal ions is stored in the strip. Close the main water supply valve 5Ga to end the water supply. After that, perform the steps

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -31-200413595 For cleaning steps below S402, continue to perform the dehydration step according to the flowchart in Figure 6. : When the washing water is stirred in the first gamma step, the contact between the laundry and metal ions is promoted. Metal ions gradually adhere to the washed fibers, and an antibacterial film is formed on the surface of the strip. = Page Input " ['Plus Day Guard', its input operation is performed at the end of the step (main stream). At this time, the sub-water supply valve 50b is opened to allow water to flow into the water supply port. When the additive is put into the additive chamber 55, the additive is introduced into the washing tank 30 from the siphon part 57 together with water. The siphon effect occurs only when the water level in the additive chamber 55 reaches a certain height-, so the liquid additive can be held in the additive chamber before the water injection into the additive chamber 55 '. After a specific amount of water (a sufficient amount or more to cause the siphon effect to be caused by the siphon portion 57) is poured into the additive chamber 55, the sub-water supply valve 50b is closed. Add cleaning water with additives and stir for a certain period of time to promote contact between the laundry and the additives. After a certain time has passed, the process proceeds to step S405 (equilibrium). Adding the additives is performed after a specific time has elapsed after the cleaning is started with the washing water containing metal ions. Therefore, when metal ions and additives (softeners) are simultaneously put into the washing water, the metal ions and the softener components react to reduce antibacterial properties. However, when the additives are added in the above manner, the additives are added after the metal ions are sufficiently attached to the laundry, which can prevent the metal ions from reacting with the additive components, and can retain the antibacterial effect of the metal ions on the laundry. " The metal constituting the electrodes 113, 114 is preferably silver, copper or an alloy of silver and copper. The silver ion eluted from the silver electrode has good antibacterial effect, and the copper eluted from the copper electrode O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -32- 200413595 ion has good anti-w effect. In addition, silver and copper ions can be eluted simultaneously from an alloy of silver and copper. Silver ion cations are negatively charged in the water, so the silver ion% is adsorbed on the strip. In the state of being adsorbed on the washing strip, the silver ion is neutralized. Therefore, silver ions do not easily react with chloride ions (anions) of the additive (softener) component. However, since it takes time for the silver ions to be adsorbed on the laundry, it is necessary to allow some time before adding the additives. Therefore, the stirring time after the silver ion is introduced must be maintained for 10 minutes. The stirring time after adding the additives can be about 3 minutes. The metal ion-based autonomous water supply pipe 52a passes through the detergent chamber 54 and enters the washing tub 30. The additive is introduced into the washing tank 30 from the additive chamber 55. Therefore, metal ions are trapped in the path used for cleaning water, and the path used to add additives to the cleaning water forms a different system to avoid metal ions passing through the path used for cleaning water. Contact forms compounds and loses antibacterial power. The above structure is that the washing machine 1 is turned on from the washing step, the power switch 1 32 is turned on, and the timer is set on the timer 33, but this structure is inconvenient for the user. In order to eliminate this inconvenience, the following structure may be adopted. In other words, a flow switch is set in advance in gold 110. The user first turns on the power switch 132 of the power supply Danfan 101, sets the timer ι33, and then presses the start button of the washing machine 1 to start the washing step. The flow switch detects that a large amount of water has been injected again from the water supply valve 50 (the main water supply valve 50a) (except for the water injection of the supplementary water in step §305), that is, after the water injection of the cleaning water in step S401 is detected, the microcomputer 130 starts to operate, And only at the time set by timer ι33

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -33- 200413595 133,134. The electrodes 113, 114 are consumed as the metal ions continue to elute, resulting in a reduction in the amount of metal ions eluted. After a long period of use, the elution amount of metal ions is not stable, and a specific elution amount cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, when the electrodes 113, 14 reach the endurance limit, the ion elution unit 11 must be replaced with a new one. In order to determine whether the electrodes 11 3, 114 have reached the endurance limit, the following measures are taken in the ion washing unit 100. One side of the terminals 115 and 116 of the electrodes 113 and 114 is referred to as a "root portion", and an end on the opposite side is referred to as a "end portion". Although the electrodes 丨 13 and 丨 14 are connected in parallel, they are not parallel. It can be seen from Fig. 8 that the closer the ends are, the narrower the distance is, and they are arranged in a tapered shape. In such a configuration, since the electrodes 113 and 114 elute metal ions from the narrow spaced portion, the electrodes 113 and 114 elute from the ends. Therefore, by focusing on the length from the root to the end, it is possible to grasp the degree of reduction in the volume of the electrodes 113 and U4. In order to understand the length from the root to the end of the electrodes 113 and 114, each HO is configured as follows. That is, the side of the box is formed with transparent synthetic resin (the main section constitutes the see-through section. The see-through section is used to confirm the replacement time. Whether the ion elution unit has arrived when the see-through section is provided on the box 110, 411n & JJ uses transparent synthetic resin to form the whole to observe the entire electrode 113, 114. Or "the fineness of the transparent plate embedded in the front, ° and set at Yi 110 and open ten ... slit to observe the electrode" 3, 114. A The material forming the see-through section does not necessarily need to be the electrode 113 which can grasp the interior, and the month / month can be translucent. The size (length) can be.

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -34- 200413595 It is also possible to set the brake Honglei ^ 7 on the see-through section, and it can also be used to measure the degree of consumption of 113,114. Since the length from the electrodes 113, 114 to the end of the electrode, the length from the root to the end of the electrode constitutes the standard for measurement. Therefore, it is only necessary to set it straight from the end of the electrode to the root of the electrode. Among the scales, the material ion plutonium unit _ replacement scale can be specially enlarged or changed shape, as long as the replacement time can be determined immediately. Those who need to be replaced are only the ion elution unit 100, and the power supply unit ιιι does not need to be replaced. Therefore, a freely detachable connection section can be provided in the middle of the power supply I line 119 in advance. Only the ion elution unit 1GG is replaced with a new one, and the power supply unit continues to use the former. A pack of source units 101 can also use batteries as a power source instead of a commercial power source. The battery can be stored in a case of the power supply unit 101. With this structure, even places where commercial power cannot be used, such as camping grounds or homes with insufficient numbers of sockets connected to commercial power, can still be subjected to antibacterial treatment. [Second Embodiment] ▲ Continuing, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 10. FIG. 10 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the ion elution unit 100. In addition, constituent elements that share the same function with the first embodiment have the same symbols as those used in the first embodiment, and their descriptions are omitted. On the box 110 of the first application form of the ion elution unit 100, there is a grid-shaped water port i0a at one end. As shown in the first embodiment, openings with functional differentiation into "inflow ports" and "outflow ports" are not provided. The size of each opening of the water passage 110a is set such that a finger or the like cannot reach the electrodes 113, 114. A hook uOb is integrally formed on the side surface of the box 110. With the first

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -35- 200413595 Similarly, the ion elution unit 100 according to the embodiment prevents water from invading the inside of the waterproof cover 118, and the ion elution unit 100 can be completely submerged in water. At least one half of the ion elution unit 100 is immersed in the washing water of the washing tank 30 for use. In this way, water flows into the tank 110 from the water outlet 110a. The flowing water flows into the electrodes 113, 114. At this time, a voltage 'is applied to the electrodes 113 and 114 to elute the metal ions. Water containing metal ions flows out of the water passage 110a. The ion elution unit 100 can also be used only by putting it into water, or it can be used by hanging the hook 110b in the dehydration hole 31. In addition, it is also possible to hang a line or the like on the hook 11 Ob to hang the ion washing-removing unit 100. When the box 110 is hung on a hook to use the box 110 vertically, if air cannot be extracted from the box 110, water cannot flow into the electrodes H3, 114. Therefore, a row can be provided near one end of the cover U7 of the box u〇 Stomata. Since the ion elution unit 100 of the second embodiment immerses the cartridge 110 in water, introduces water into the cartridge i 10 from the water port 11a, and immerses the electrode i ^ M in water to elute the metal ions. It is not necessary to provide a special structure for installing and maintaining the ion elution unit 100 on the washing machine 1. There is also no need to connect a water supply hose 18 to the ion elution unit 100. In addition, since the ion elution operation is performed in the water stored in the washing tank 30, homogeneous ion-containing water can be generated. Therefore, metal ions are uniformly adhered to the laundry, and a uniform antibacterial effect can be obtained. In addition, after a long period of use, when the capacity of the ion elution unit 100 is reduced, it is only necessary to discard the old unit and use the new unit. The unit replacement procedure is simple. Furthermore, those who can make the ion elution single S1GG immersed in water, except for the washing machine

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -36- 200413595 Outside the sink 30, it can be any container that can store the 100% box of the ion elution unit. Therefore, you can use buckets, washbasins and cups to generate metal containing Ionic water. Therefore, if an antibacterial treatment is needed for a handkerchief, a small amount of water containing metal ions can be generated in a small container to soak a handkerchief to avoid wasting water. When the power supply unit 101 of the ion elution unit of the second embodiment is driven by a private pool, the antibacterial treatment device can be completely portable. Therefore, the application can be expanded and taken to outdoor places for antibacterial treatment such as clothing. As described in the first embodiment, a conversion can be formed in advance on the surface of the ion elution unit 100 or the power supply unit 401 to compare the driving time of the ion elution unit 100 with the amount of water required to elute an appropriate amount of metal ions table. The user can set the time according to the conversion table to generate metal ion-containing water at a proper concentration.

In addition, the drive unit 400 is arranged in the washing machine! When outside, the following methods can be used even if the hook is not used as described above. That is, a magnet having a magnetic force that does not affect the internal circuit can be arranged on the back of the driving unit 400, that is, on the opposite side of the driving unit 400 and the washing machine 丨, and the driving unit is driven by the magnetic force of the magnet 400 is placed on the outer surface of the washing machine 1 in a removable manner.

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -38-200413595 In addition, the drive unit 400 is inclusively connected to the ion eluting unit 3㈧ via a cord 500. Thereby, the voltage for driving the ion elution unit 300 can be supplied from the drive unit 400 to the ion elution unit 300 via the flexible cord 500. Hereinafter, before describing the ion eluting unit 300 and the driving unit 4⑼ in detail, the first hose 202 and the second hose 202 will be described first. (1. First hose) Fig. 12 is a side view showing a schematic structure of the first hose 202. The first hose 202 is connected to a water faucet 201 and an ion elution unit 0, and is composed of a flexible hose body 210, a first connection portion 2m, and a second connection portion 2Γ2. (1-1. First connection portion) The first connection portion 211 is provided at one end of the hose body 21o, and is connected to and connected to the faucet 201 of running water. As shown in FIG. 13, the first connecting portion 2m constitutes a separable connecting portion 221 and a movable means 222. First, the connection portion 221 will be described. The connecting portion 221 is composed of a clamp 23 and a screwing portion 2 3 2. The jig 231 is a generally cylindrical mouthpiece member attached to the end of the water faucet 201. Specifically, four screws are evenly arranged above the outside of the jig 231 in the circumferential direction. The jig 231 is inserted into the faucet 201, and these screws are fastened to fix the jig 231 to the faucet 201. Therefore, the jig 231 can be reliably connected to the faucet 201 with a simple tool. In addition, a groove is engraved further below the position of the screw on the outer surface of the jig 231. Furthermore, an elastic member (such as rubber) for sealing is installed inside the jig 231. The screwing portion 232 has a first cylindrical portion 232 &

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -39- 200413595 A screw groove is formed on the inner surface to be screwed with the screw groove on the outside of the clamp 23 1; and a second cylindrical portion 232b having a substantially cylindrical shape is provided at a specific interval. It is formed inside the first cylindrical portion 232a. Then, the openings on the hose body 210 side of the first cylindrical portion 232a and the second cylindrical portion 232b are adhered to the original plate along the outer and inner circumferences of the donut-shaped disk. To form the screwing portion 232. A connecting pipe 233 communicating with the second cylindrical portion 2321) is integrally formed at the bottom of the screwing portion 232. When the connecting pipe 233 penetrates the moving means 222, the water passing through the connecting portion 221 is introduced into the moving means 222 through the connecting pipe 233. A groove portion 233a (refer to FIG. 14) in which a plurality of steel balls 241a are embedded is formed on the outer surface of the connecting officer 233 and described later. Further, a jaw portion 234, which is fixed by a fixing portion 244, which will be described later, is formed on the outer surface of the first cylindrical portion 232a of the screwing portion 232 and is fixed by a fixing portion 244. In addition, the structure of the movable means 222 includes a penetrating portion 24, a movable portion 242, a connecting portion 243, and a fixing portion 244. The penetrating portion 241 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and the inside thereof penetrates the connection pipe 233 described above. The inner diameter of the penetration portion 241 is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the connection pipe 233. On the wall portion of the penetrating portion 241, small-diameter steel balls 241a that can be moved in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the penetrating portion 241 (hereinafter referred to as a radial direction) are provided at equal positions in the circumferential direction of the wall portion. The steel ball 241a is formed to have a number of diameters larger than the thickness of the wall portion. The movable portion 242 is a portion that covers the penetration portion 241 from the outside through a plurality of gaps, and can move in the flowing direction of the water that enters the muscle into the mouth, and forms a substantially Q-tube shape. Hai activity ^ 242 is iced by a force such as a spring on the upstream side (opposite to the hose body 2_) in the direction of flowing water (see Figure ⑷).

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -40- 200413595 The force can be manually pushed down to the downstream side (the side of the hose body 2 1 0). The connection portion 243 is a portion that is connected to the hose body 21o. The crotch part p is set to protrude from the outer surface of the movable part 242, and when the connecting pipe 233 is passed through the penetrating part 241, the jaw part 234 of the connection part 221 is fixed. In the above structure, when the first hose 202 is fixed to the faucet 201, the connecting portion 221 is first fixed to the faucet 201 of the tap water. That is, the jig 231 is fixed to the faucet 201 by screws, and the screw groove of the jig 231 and the screw groove of the screwing portion 232 are screwed to fix these. Then, the movable part 242 of the movable means 222 is manually pressed down to the downstream side of the flowing direction and held, and at the same time, the penetrating part 241 is inserted into the connecting pipe 233 of the connecting part 22 丨. At this time, since the steel ball 241 & does not apply any pressing force in the radial direction of the penetrating portion 241, the connecting pipe 233 presses the steel ball 24U outward in the radial direction while penetrating the inner side of the penetrating portion 241. When the hand is away from the movable portion 242 at the time of completion of the penetration, as shown in FIG. 14, the movable portion 242 moves toward the connecting portion 221 by the urging force of the urging means 245. At this time, the inner surface of the movable portion 242 is in contact with the steel ball 241a of the penetration portion 241, and a pressing force is applied to the steel ball 241a from the outside in the radial direction to the inside. Thereby, the steel ball 241a is inserted and squeezed in the groove portion 233a 'of the connecting pipe 233 penetrating the penetration portion 241, and the connecting portion 221 and the movable means 222 are fixed to each other. At the same time, the jaw portion 234 of the connecting portion 221 is fixed by the fixing portion 244 of the movable means 222, so that the movable means 222 can be surely prevented from detaching from the connecting portion 221. In addition, when the connecting portion 221 and the movable means 222 are separated, the fixing of the fixing portion 244 and the jaw portion 234 is manually released, and the movable portion 242 is manually pushed to the downstream side in the flowing direction. By this, the squeeze of the steel ball 241a by the movable portion 242 is released O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -41-200413595 ', so the squeeze of the steel ball 24a against the connecting pipe 233 can be released. Therefore, the connecting pipe 233 can be pulled out from the penetrating portion 241, and the connecting portion 221 and the movable means 222 can be separated. Therefore, the first connecting portion 211 has: the connecting portion 221 installed on the water faucet 201 of the running water; The movable means 222 for disassembling and assembling the connecting pipe 233 of the part 221 is connected to (a) the penetrating part 241 penetrating the connecting pipe 233; and (b) the hose body 210 is connected and can be moved in the dismounting direction of the connecting pipe 233 It also has a structure of a movable part 242 that moves when the connecting pipe 233 penetrates the penetrating portion 241 and presses a pressing member (steel ball 241 a) provided in the penetrating portion 241 in a direction contacting the connecting pipe 233. By using such a moving means 222, the connecting portion 221 and the hose body 21 can be connected or disconnected by simply touching the moving means 222. Therefore, even women (housewives) and people with low strength can easily disassemble the two. In particular, as described above, since the urging means 245 for urging the moving part 242 upstream in the flowing direction is provided in the moving means 222, the moving part 242 can be easily moved by the urging force. The steel ball 241 a can be easily pressed against the connecting pipe 233 by moving toward the upstream side in the flowing water direction. Therefore, it is easier to fix the connecting pipe 233 and the movable means 222. In addition, the movable means 222 is also considered to adopt a structure for moving the movable part 242 by a screw type. However, the means described in this embodiment is more usable, and there is no need to worry about loosening, and the fixation is reliable. In the above description, the detachable jig 231 and the screwing portion 232 are described in the connecting portion 221, but these may be formed integrally from the beginning. At this time, the clamp 231 can be inserted into the end of the faucet 201, and the O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -42- 200413595 connecting portion 221 can be installed on the faucet 201 only by tightening the screws. In addition, the tap 211 of the running water may originally have a fixture equivalent to 231. At this time, the connecting portion 221 does not need the clamp 23m, and may be constituted only by a screw " 卩 232. In this case, since the jig 231 is not required, the number of parts can be reduced, and the cost of the product can be suppressed. From the above, it can be said that the connection 221 of the first connection portion 211 of this embodiment is (a) the detachable jig 231 and the screwing portion 232, or an integral structure; or (b) it can be installed only with The screwing part 232 which screwed the jig to the tap 201 of the tap water is comprised. 〃 μ. Screwing section 232. At this time, the department 2 11 can also face you ’by forming only the first connection by means of activities 222

In addition, the faucet of the tap water 021 is also pre-formed equivalent to the above (1-2.second connection portion)

When the penetration is completed, the hand moves from the inside of the movable part 242 to the inside of the 41, and then passes through the ion elution unit 300, and then, as shown in FIG. 15B, at the word—々〇 士

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -43- 200413595 is opened, and the moving part 242 is moved to the 300 side of the ion elution unit by the force of the force applying means 245. Thereby, the movable portion 242 presses the steel ball 241a toward the inner side in the radial direction of the penetrating portion 241, and the steel ball 241a is embedded in the groove portion 302c (see FIG. 15A) formed outside the connecting pipe 302a of the first connecting portion 302, and The first connection portion 302 is pressed. Therefore, the second connection portion 212 and the first connection portion 302 are fixed. In addition, when the first hose 202 and the ion elution unit 300 are separated, the movable part 242 is manually moved to the hose body 21o side (the upstream side in the flowing direction) to release the first connection of the steel ball 241a to the first connection. Squeeze the part 30. Thereby, the first connection portion 302 can be extracted from the through 4 241, and the first hose and the ion elution unit 300 r can be separated. In this way, the second connection portion 212 has a movable means 222, and only needs to be touched. The Shiya activity means 222 can connect or separate the first hose and the ion, and decouple the unit 300. Therefore, the same effect as that in the case where the first connection portion 211 is provided can be obtained by simply attaching and detaching both of them and the like. (2 · Second hose) As shown in Fig. 11, the first soft official 203 is connected to the ion elution unit, and the fish supply = the washing machine smell of the device. The second hose 203 is composed of: a soft body; and a first connection portion and a second connection portion respectively provided at both ends of the hose body.

(3-3 · Unit body) The unit body 301 is formed of an insulating material (such as resin), and the water supplied from the faucet 1 flows into the inside and is supplied to the washing machine. The unit body 3101 includes a pair of electrodes 311 and 312, and includes terminal portions 3 13, 3 14 and detection portions 3 15 corresponding to the electrodes 311 and 312, respectively. (3-3-1. Electrode) The electrodes 3U, 312 are composed of a flat silver plate with a thickness of 1 cm x 3 cm and a thickness of about 0.5 mm, and flow from the upstream side of the water flowing into the unit body 301 (Figure 21). The upper side of FIG. 22 and the lower side of FIG. 21 and the lower side of FIG. 22 are arranged in the unit main body 301 so that the interval between the opposing surfaces becomes narrower. A voltage is applied between the pair of electrodes 311 and 312 via a drive unit 400 described later via a flexible wire 500 and terminal portions 3 1 3, 314, and metal ions elute from the electrodes 3 11, 3 12. Then, the above-mentioned metal ions are added to the water flowing into the inside of the unit body 301, and this water is formed into the metal-added water and supplied to the washing machine i. The metal constituting the electrodes 311, 312 is preferably silver, copper, zinc, or an alloy thereof. The silver ions eluted from the silver electrode and the zinc ions eluted from the zinc electrode have good bactericidal effect, and the copper ions eluted from the copper electrode have good mold resistance. In addition, O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -49- 200413595 From these alloys, the ions of the constituent metals are also eluted at the same time, so it can obtain excellent wood fungus effect and anti-mold effect. Therefore, by forming the electrodes 311 and 312 with an appropriate metal, the inherent effect of the metal ions can be obtained. In addition, it is not necessary to form the two electrodes 3 丨 丨, 3 丨 2 with the same metal. In addition, an infusible electrode (such as titanium) and a carbon electrode may be used to constitute one electrode. Hereinafter, the antibacterial mechanism when the electrodes 3 1 1, 3 12 are silver electrodes will be described in detail as follows. Such as clothes sweating and stinking due to bacterial reproduction. Sweat is originally odorless, but one of its constituents is glycerolipids containing fatty acids and glycerol. Bacteria break down its glycerolipids—the fatty acids decomposed from glycerolipids emit odor. However, when the electrodes 311 and 312 are silver electrodes, an Ag-Ag ++ e- reaction is caused on the anode electrode by applying a voltage to these electrodes, and the silver ion 2 elutes into water. The silver ion acts on passivation of bacteria, bacteria, and field bacteria that cause the odor, and the sweat component (glyceride) cannot be decomposed to suppress the generation of odor. In addition, the above-mentioned passivation refers to sterilization, sterilization, Sterilization, decomposition, removal, etc. The electrodes 311 and 312 are integrally formed with the unit body 301. That is, a method of hardening the resin by disposing electrodes 311 and 312 in a light-curing resin and applying ultraviolet rays or the like; and arranging and holding the electrodes 311 and 312 in a metal mold and flowing into the resin A method of cooling and hardening (fill molding) is performed to form a unit body 301 integrated with the electrodes 311 and 312. In addition, by the integral molding, the electrodes 311, 312 are supported by a part of the inner wall of the unit body 301. If the unit body 301 is formed by fitting several frames, the water inside may

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -50- 200413595 Leaked to the outside from this joint. However, in this embodiment, the unit body 301 is integrally formed including the electrodes 3U, 312 inside, and there is no problem of water leakage from the self-adhesion part, and the hermeticity of the unit body 301 can be maintained well. Furthermore, the electrodes 311, 312 are gradually consumed and reduced due to the elution of metal ions (such as silver ions). In this way, the distance between the electrodes 3Π, 312 is enlarged, and the surface area of the electrodes 3m, 312 is narrowed. At this time, it is necessary to ensure a specific amount of metal ion elution, and the voltage required to flow the same current on the electrodes 311, 312 rises. However, there is an upper limit to the voltage that can be supplied. When the voltage reaches the upper limit, the current flowing into the electrode 3ΐι, 3 12 decreases. In this way, the amount of eluted metal ions is reduced, and the helmet method does determine the metal ions of «. Therefore, in order to obtain the killing effect of metal ions, the electrodes 311 and 312 need to be replaced with new ones when the elution amount of metal ions cannot be ensured. In this embodiment, as described above, since the electrodes 311 and 312 are integrally formed with the unit body 301, they are replaced with a new unit body 301. That is, the unit body 3 () 1 of this embodiment is a type of disposable after use. In this way, the unit can prevent the user from electrode assembly error and electrode deformation when the electrode is replaced, and the user can replace it with peace of mind. In addition, in this embodiment, it is explained that the unit body 301 has a pair (two pieces) of electrodes 3Π, 312, but the number of electrodes is not limited to this. Even if the unit body 301 has two or more electrodes, by applying a voltage to these electrodes, metal ions are eluted from the electrodes, and the effect of the present invention can still be obtained. (3-3-2 · Terminal section) The terminal sections 313 and 314 are electrically connected to the electrodes 3U and 312 and the terminal for the drive unit_ and are provided through the side wall of the unit body 301. These terminal sections

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -51-200413595 313,314 is one of them, and the electrode is electrically connected to the electrode 3 丨 1, 3 12 by silver soldering, and / or is connected via a flexible cord 500. The driving unit 400 is electrically connected. In addition, the above-mentioned silver-copper welding, such as using silver, copper and silver alloy as the solder, the metal of the base metal, and the solder that melts at a temperature lower than the temperature of the base metal, and then attach the metal to the base metal. The terminal portions 313, 3 and 14 in the form are formed in a shape that is at least circular in cross section with the Γ penetration portion & of the unit body 3001. When this structure is manufactured, a structure in which the internal pressure (water pressure) in the main body 301 is uniformly applied to the circumferential direction of the penetrating portion is formed, so that it is difficult to cause water leakage even under high water pressure. In this way, the ion-eluting unit 300 can be used heartily. In addition, even with this structure, there is almost no production deviation of the ion elution unit 300, and the production margin can be improved. In particular, the terminal portions 313 and 314 of this embodiment are formed in a cylindrical shape having a circular cross section in the entire axial direction. The through portions of the terminal portions 313, 3, 14 and the unit body 301 are sealed by sealing members 3 13a, 3 14a (see Fig. 19) such as O-rings. Since the terminal portions 313 and 314 are formed in a cylindrical shape, it is easy to insert the sealing portions 313a and 314a, and the sealing properties of the penetrating portions can be reliably obtained. (3-3-3. Detection section) The detection section 315 is a detection means for detecting whether there is at least one of the water flow and the flow rate in the unit body 3001. It is more upstream than the electrodes 3n, 312. The detection section 315 includes a rotor 316 (see FIG. 24), a magnet 317, and a magnetic detection section 318. FIG. 24 is an enlarged perspective view of the rotor 316. FIG. The rotor 316 is rotated by the passage of water in the unit O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -52- 200413595, and has a rotation axis 邛 321 in the direction of water flow. The rotation shaft portion 32 is shown in the figure. Bearing support not shown above. Then, the two blades 322 carrying water are fixed to the rotation axis at positions symmetrical to each other.卩 321. Each blade 322 receives the force in the direction of rotation with the rotation shaft portion 321 as the water flowing into the unit body hits each blade and flows, whereby the entire rotor 316 rotates with the rotation shaft portion 321 as the center. In addition, the rotor 316 has two cup-shaped receiving portions 323, and the bottom portions of the respective receiving portions 323 on the opposite sides of the opening portions 323a are fixed to the rotation shaft portions 321 at positions symmetrical to each other. The magnet 317 is enclosed in at least one of the two receiving portions 323. -When the magnet 317 is contained in only one receiving portion 323, the other receiving portion 323 contains a weight 319 of the same weight as the magnet 317 to maintain the balance when the rotor 3 16 rotates. The opening portion 323a of each of the receiving portions 323 is closed by a cover not shown in the figure. The magnetic detection unit 318 (see FIG. 22) detects the presence or absence of water flow in the unit body 301 and its flow rate based on the magnetic change of the magnet 317 when the rotor 316 rotates, and is provided on the unit body 301 side. The magnetic detection section 3 1 8 is formed by a Hall IC that detects the magnetic change of the magnet 317 in a non-contact manner through the resin forming the wall of the unit body 301. With the above-mentioned structure, when water flows into the unit body 301 and the rotor 316 rotates, the magnetism (magnetic flux, magnetic field) generated from the magnet 317 also changes. By detecting the magnetic change in a non-contact manner by the magnetic detection section 3 1 8, the presence or absence of water flow in the unit body 3 0 1 can be detected. In addition, by detecting the change in the number of cycles per unit time by the magnetic detection unit 3 1 8, the number of revolutions per unit time of the rotor 316 can be detected, and

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -53- 200413595 Can detect the water flow into the unit body 301. That is, as described above, the detection unit 3 15 is configured to detect at least one of the presence or absence of a water flow and the flow rate in the unit body 3 01 based on the magnetic change of the magnet 3 17. In addition, the structure of the detection section 3 15 has a rotor 3 (rotating element) 6 (rotating element) that rotates as the water passes through the unit body 301. Therefore, when the water flow rate is small, the presence or absence of water flow can be easily and reliably detected. In addition, since the number of revolutions of the rotor 316 changes according to the flow of water, the magnetic detection section 3, 8 can accurately detect the water flow according to the detection number in the "IL". The detection unit 315 of the present embodiment is provided integrally with the unit main body 301, but may be separately provided from the unit main body 301. That is, the detection unit 315 and the unit main body 301 may be configured separately, and may be configured by combining these. At this time, even if the unit body 301 needs to be replaced due to the consumption of the electrodes 311 and 312 in the unit body 301, the detection unit 315 does not need to be replaced. Therefore, the detection unit 3 1 5 can be effectively used to suppress the cost when replacing the unit. In addition, the installation position of the detection section 315 is not limited to the upstream side in the above-mentioned flow direction of the hair poles 3 11 ′ 3 12 of the unit body 3001, and may be on the downstream side. In addition, the detection section M5 may be provided in an outflow direction variable section 306 (see FIG. 26) described later. In addition, the detection section 315 may be provided on the first connection section 302 or the second connection section 303 when the water supply path of the tap water 200m to the water supply path of the washing machine 1 is provided. It can be installed outside the ion elution unit 300 (such as the first hose 202 and the second hose 203). In addition, the rotation shaft portion 321 of the rotor 316 may be provided in a direction opposite to the direction of the water flow, and the rotor 3 16 may be rotated like a waterwheel.

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -54- 200413595 In addition, this embodiment describes an example in which the detection unit 315 is configured by using the rotation detection method of the rotor 316, and of course, it may be configured in a flow path type. : The flow path type is that the moving body cut by the spring is in the flow path. When the water flows, the moving body is squeezed and moved by the water flow, and the movement of the moving body is detected by an appropriate sensor to detect the flow of water. method. If a magnet is placed in the moving body, when a magnetic detection unit (Hall 1C) is provided at the position where the moving body moves when water flows, the magnetic flow can be detected by magnetic detection. In this way, when the detection section 315 is configured in a flow type, the magnetic detection does not need to detect the magnetic change in the presence or absence of water flow according to the rotation speed of the rotor 316. Therefore, even if the reaction speed is slow, the magnetic detection section (Hall IC) is formed. , Still can accurately detect the water flow. From the above, it can be said that the structure of the detection section 315 may also include: a moving body that moves in response to the flow of water; a magnet that is enclosed in the above-mentioned moving body; and a magnetic detection section that is built in the above The position of the moving body detects the magnetism of the magnet to detect the presence or absence of water flow.

Therefore, there is no need to buy a damaged ion. The washer-washing machine 1 of the production department wasted money and bought a washing machine i, which can effectively use the existing washing machine. In addition, because the ion generator can freely remove the path from the supply water to the washing machine 1, it can also be easily carried out. In addition, since the ion elution unit 300 has a first connection portion 302 and a second connection 邛 303 ′, the ion elution unit 300 can be arranged outside the washing machine!

FIG. 25 shows an example in which the ion elution unit ⑽ is directly connected to the tap 201. With this structure, since the outflow direction of water from the ion elution unit 300 can be changed from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction, it can be easily returned to the second connection portion 303 connected to the toilet ion elution unit 300. Hose plus. That is, even if the distance between the connection tube 51 of the washing machine and the ion elution unit is too close, the second soft shaft 3 will not be forced to bend, and the ion washing unit 300 and the washing machine 1 can be reversibly connected to reduce the second The physical negativeness of the tube 203 (3-5-2 · outflow direction variable portion) In addition, it is also possible to use no, which is the curved unit body 301, as shown in FIG. 26.

The outflow direction variable portion 306 is constituted by a cylindrical tube bent at approximately 90 degrees. One end of the outflow direction variable portion 306 is rotatably mounted on the second connection portion 303 of the ion elution unit 300, and a second hose is inserted into the other end (see FIG. 11). Water supplied from the tap faucet 201 and flowing down into the inside of the unit body 301 vertically is converted by the outflow direction variable section 306 into a substantially square direction, flows in the horizontal direction, and passes through the second hose 203. The supply to the washing machine can therefore be freely returned to the second hose 203, avoiding the surrounding walls of the washing machine, etc., and is convenient-using the ion elution unit 300. In addition, since the outflow direction variable portion 306 is designed to rotate the first connection portion 303 of the ion elution unit 300, it can be selected from the water outflow direction of the ion elution unit 300 according to its setting position. It is more convenient to use the ion elution unit 300. In addition, if the outflow direction variable section 306 can be provided with a state display section 402 (see FIG. 27) of the driving unit 400 described later as a unit, the rotation outflow direction can be changed in this case. In the case of the display unit 306, the status display unit 402 can be set at a position where the user can easily observe, and the observation property can be improved. In addition, 'as shown in FIG. 26, when the fixing portion 306a of the jaw portion 303b of the second connection portion 303 of the fixed ion elution unit 300 is provided on the outer surface of the outflow direction variable portion 306, the outflow direction can be reliably prevented. The portion 306 is detached from the second connection portion 303. (3_5-3 · The inclined arrangement of the unit body) The unit body 301 of the above structure is arranged so that water flows vertically downward into it.

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -58- 200413595, but it is not limited to this configuration. If it is possible to construct the inclined arrangement unit body 301, that is, the unit body 301 can also be arranged so that the water flowing into the inside obliquely flows in the vertical direction. In addition, the concept of oblique flow of water in the vertical direction also includes when water flows in the horizontal direction (lateral). With this structure, the size of the unit body 3 (H or even the ion elution unit 300 in the height direction (vertical direction) is not changed without changing the size of the electrodes 31 and 312. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the ion elution unit is arranged. In the case of the same metal ion elution ability when the direction of the 300% flowing water is vertical, even if there is no room in the height of the water faucet 205 and the washing machine, there is still no chance to hit the surrounding machines and walls. The ion elution unit 300 can be easily installed. Therefore, the selectivity of the installation position of the ion elution unit 300 can be expanded. (3-5-4 · First filter) As shown in Figs. 21 and 22, it can also be configured A first filter 33 i for removing impurities in the water is provided on the upstream side of the flowing water direction than the electrodes 31 and 312 in the unit body 301 of the ion elution unit 300. In this structure, the first filter 33 i can be used. The filter 33 丨 blocks impurities such as dirt and metal deposits in the water, so it can prevent such impurities from adhering to the electrodes 311 ′ 312 or clogging between the electrodes 311 and 312. Therefore, it can prevent the disadvantages due to the adhesion of impurities (such as metal from The elution amount of the particles is reduced.) In addition, the first filter 33 丨 is particularly preferably provided at the inlet of the water flowing to the ion elution unit 300, that is, the first connection portion 302. At this time, the self-supply path When the ion elution unit 300 is removed from the top, the user can easily clean the first filter, which has the advantage of easy material. In addition, the structure of the extraction part provided with the third filter on the ion elution unit 300 ... 3 3 1 Compared, because this kind of taking is not needed

The younger brother is 3 3 1 and is located on the upper side in the flow direction than the detection section 3 15. At this time, impurities such as dirt and metal deposits in the water can be prevented from adhering to the detection section 315 and affecting the detection of the detection section 315, resulting in malfunction. In addition, the first filter 331 is not limited to the above-mentioned ion elution unit 10 and may be provided on the water supply control between the ion elution unit 300 and the faucet 201 (such as in the first hose 2G2 ). Also in this case, the same effects as described above can be obtained. … (3_5-5 · Second filter) A second filter for removing impurities in the water may be provided further downstream than the electrodes 3U, 312 in the unit body of the ion elution unit 300. The second filter may be provided in the ion elution unit 300, or may be provided in the water supply path of the ion elution unit 300 and the laundry (such as in the second hose 203). With this structure, even if the 3π, 312 metal fragments of the ion elution unit 300 flow to the downstream side, they can still be blocked by the second filter. In this way, it is possible to prevent the disadvantage caused by the metal fragments touching the downstream machine (washing machine) and articles (laundry). In addition, the first filter should be installed at the outlet of the water to the ion elution unit, that is, at the The second connecting part 3G3. At this time, by removing the ion elution unit fan from the supply path, the user can easily clean the second transition device, and the maintenance is easy. In addition, the extraction elution list is provided on the ion elution list W⑽. Second pass

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -60- 200413595 Compared with the structure of taking out the puppet, this kind of removing part is not needed and the number of parts can be suppressed. #It is not necessary to seal the removing part, so there is no need to worry about the second filter. It may be provided on the lower side than the electrodes 311 and 312 in the flow direction and on the upstream side than the detection portion 3 j 5 in the flow direction. That is, the second filter may be disposed between the electrodes 311 and 312 and the private measurement unit 315 on the downstream side in the direction of flow. At this time, the second filter can block the fragments of the electrode 2 from flowing to the downstream side, so that it is possible to prevent the metal fragments from hitting the detection portion 315 and causing the detection portion 315 to malfunction. (6. The first connection portion and the second connection portion are separated from the unit body) The unit body 301 is separated. In addition, the above-mentioned second connecting portion may be provided so as to be separable from the unit body 301. & Even if it is necessary to replace the unit body due to the electrode 3m, ⑴: Xiao consumption, there is no need to replace the first connection portion 302 and the second connection portion 303.

The ion elution unit 3⑼ of OA88 \ 88498.DOC -61-200413595 31 and 312 is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The structure of the ion elution section can also be such as filling metal = sub-eluting material (silver sulfide, etc. in the case of silver eluting material) in the cylinder, and it can be eluted only by passing water through the cylinder (no voltage is applied).

Drive unit) Next, the drive unit 400 will be described in detail. 7A to 27D are a plan view, a front view, a side view, and a rear view, respectively, of the external appearance structure of the display driving unit 400. In addition, FIG. 28 is a block diagram showing a detailed internal structure of the driving unit 400. The basic circuit structure of the drive unit 4 is substantially the same as the drive circuit 120 of the power supply unit 101 shown in Fig. 9 of the first embodiment. The drive unit 400 drives the ion elution unit 300. The drive unit 400 includes an operation section 401, a status display section 402, a voltage generation section 403, a voltage transformer circuit 4, a power supply voltage detection section 405, and a current detection circuit. 406 and the control section 407. The control unit 407 controls the operations of the aforementioned units. In addition, a hole for inserting a hook attached to the wall and the washing machine (see the drawings (see FIG. 4 and FIG. 27D) is provided on the back of the drive unit). Each structure is explained in detail below. (4-1 · Operation Section) The operation section 401 is a user who switches the operation of the drive unit 400 on / off, and is composed of a knob, a lever, and a button. By setting the operation unit 401 on the drive unit 400, the user sets the drive unit * ⑻ at an easy-to-operate position, and can freely switch the operation of the drive unit 400. In particular, as shown in FIG. 27B in this embodiment, the operation portion 401 is constituted by a rotary knob. With this, the physical properties of the rotating operation part 401 can be obtained.

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -62- 200413595 The status changes, you can easily confirm the operation status of the drive unit 400. Therefore, there is no need to set LEDs for displaying the ON / OFF operation status of the operation, and it is not necessary to consume power because of this display. Especially when it is driven by a battery, such unnecessary power consumption can be effectively used for battery driving. In addition, the 'operation section 401 can easily understand the operation state of the drive unit 400 by using only physical state changes without using electric power. In addition to the rotation of the rotary button described above, this physical state change also includes the unevenness of the button, the fall of talents, the change of the color and text of the button, and so on. (4-2. Status display section) The status display section 402 is used to display the running status of the drive unit 400, such as an LED. Specifically, the status display section 402 is composed of a battery life display lamp 402a and a silver ion elution lamp 402. The turning on and off of these lamps are controlled by a control section 407 described later. . = 池 可 ° 卩 402A is a lamp that blinks (on and off) when the battery life of the voltage generation unit 403 is detected by the power supply voltage detection unit 405 described later. In addition, in the ON state and the OFF state of the operation unit 400, when the battery still has power, 'in order to suppress battery consumption', the battery life of the lamp is to keep the silver ion display lamp off, and it will be described later-1 ~ % / 王 / 王 土 外 IJ Block of electricity is applied to the electrodes 311,312 of the ion elution unit fan, and the eluted metal ion; the silver ion flashes. Usually because the human eye cannot see the silver ions "2 'So II is set to let the user know the side of this silver ion display lamp" II: Elution, the user can easily understand that the system does perform silver ion washing power ... And you can use the antibacterial treatment device of the present invention with peace of mind_

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -63- 413595… This means that the electrodes 311,312 of the ion elution unit 300 are consumed by the elution of silver ions. Based on the above reasons, the current flowing into the electrodes 311,3 丨 2 When it decreases, γ judges the lifetime (replacement time) of the electrodes 311 and 312. Therefore, when the current measuring circuit 406 described later detects that the current flowing into the electrodes 311, 312 is less than the threshold value, the control unit 407 determines that the electrodes 3U, 312 are consumed and need to be replaced, so that the silver ion 402b flashes quickly. This allows the user to understand that the ion elution unit 300 (unit body 3G1) needs to be replaced, and can urge the user to perform his replacement operation. In addition, when the electrodes 3, 11, 12 are consumed, in order to avoid the user not knowing that the antibacterial treatment cannot be performed and continue to use, it is preferred to replace the ion elution unit 300 when the battery is empty. Therefore, before the control unit disconnects the operation of the driving unit 400 by operating the 邛 401, or the uranium is not included in the battery, the flashing display of the silver ion display lamp 402b is continued. In addition, when the flexible cord 5⑽ connecting the driving unit 400 and the ion eluting unit 300 falls off for some reason, although the operation of the driving unit 400 is turned on, the power is not applied through the flexible cord 500. Since the electrodes 311 and 312 of the ion elution unit 300 are dusty, no current flows into the electrodes 311 and 312. Therefore, at this time as well as the above, the control unit 407 causes the silver ion display lamp 410 to flash rapidly according to the detection signal from the current detection circuit 406 to notify the user of the abnormal state. In this way, when the control unit 407 causes abnormalities (battery life, consumption of the electrodes 3 丨 丨, 3 丨 2, and the disconnection of the flexible cord 500, etc.) in the metal ion elution of the ion elution unit 300, the main Before the power (battery) is turned off, the battery life indicator lamp 402a and the silver ion elution lamp 40 holes are continuously displayed (blinking or flashing rapidly). borrow

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -64- 200413595 This' can make the user really understand the abnormal situation and can urge the user to take appropriate countermeasures (replace the battery, drag the Shihlin to the original body 301, and connect again Cord 500). In addition, Tian Ran can also be configured to set a warning sound on the drive unit 400. A slave (such as a buzzer), based on the different detection signal (battery life detection signal) from the power supply voltage detection section 405 and the abnormal detection signal (current from electrodes 31 to 312) from the current detection circuit 406. When the elution of the metal ions is disturbed, the control unit 407 issues a warning sound from the warning means to let the user know the abnormal situation. As described above, with the driving unit 400 having the status display section 402, the user can easily grasp the operation status of the ion elution unit 300 by displaying the # .status display section 4G2. In addition, the aforementioned state display unit 402 may constitute a display unit separate from the drive unit 4a. At this time, if the driving unit 400 is provided on the side of the washing machine 丨 and the display unit is provided on the front of the washing machine 丨, only the display unit can be set in a position where it is easy to view. Therefore, the user can immediately grasp the operation state of the ion elution unit. In addition, the display unit may be disposed on the ion elution unit 300. By providing the above display unit on the object of the ion elution unit 300 that needs to monitor the operation state, the user can directly grasp the operation state of the ion elution unit 300. In addition, as described above, the status display unit 402 includes a plurality of battery life display lamps 402a and silver ion elution lamps 402b, each of which corresponds to each operating state. However, the status display unit 402 may be configured to use a plurality of status displays by changing the display mode in accordance with each operation state by using} display units (display lamps). O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -65- 200413595 In other words, the status display unit 402 may be configured to change one display mode by turning on one display lamp, turning it off, or flashing rapidly according to each operation state. For example, the silver ion elution lamp 402b can be configured to light up when the power is on, and always go off during the silver ion elution, and quickly flash the butterfly when the silver ion is abnormal. At this time, = several parts can be used to display several operating states, so the number of parts (such as the number of LEDs used for display lamps) can be suppressed to reduce the cost and power consumption of the drive unit 400. In addition, the user does not need to check most of the display parts, and it is easy to check the operation status. Furthermore, when a display section is used, the driving unit 400 can be configured as a compact driving unit 40 without increasing the display space. In addition, when displaying in the -1 display lamp overuse state, it may sometimes make it difficult for the user to recognize the operation state. Therefore, the number of display lamps should be set in consideration of the number of operation states to be displayed and the observability of the display. : The structure of Figure 27B with two display lights can keep the balance of the number of action states to be displayed and the user's observation. ^ In addition, the silver ion elution lamp side of the status display section 402 may be configured at a dot = or blinking, and then extinguished after a specific time (for example, 2 seconds). With this, when the battery 403 is formed as a voltage generating unit described later, the unnecessary consumption of the battery 403a can be suppressed, and the battery 4 can be dried for a long time. If the required amount of silver ions is to be eluted from the electrodes 3U, 312, a current of about 2011 1 * must be applied to the electrode 312 *. To light up 1 ^ 〇, 1 ^^ requires a current of about 3 mA. Therefore, when the LED is lit for a long time, the battery may be exhausted soon. Therefore, 'If the dry cell that was originally used for ion elution unit to wash moon ions is completely used, it is also used for other purposes (D's display)' Day guard 'may cause the dry battery 403a to be consumed prematurely and affect the elution of silver ions. .

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -66- 200413595 However, the silver ion elution lamp 4 0 2 b of the state display section 402 will be turned off after a certain period of time has elapsed, and the knee and the stem 403a can be limited. Electric energy is effectively used only for the elution of metal ions, and in turn, H and M can help reduce operating costs.

In particular, after turning on the power supply M ^ ', after the Pa Pa inspection confirmed that the strong Tadamoto that can elute metal ions in the hanging ground is in bad condition, this kind of light is turned on and off, so that " 、、 Whether the electric cymbal can be used normally and the power consumption is ~~. In addition, if you find a different crane at this time, you can quickly blink, etc., and the user will immediately understand the abnormality. It is constructed so that the user can truly understand the exception. (4-3. Electricity repeating-generating section) The electric dust generating section 403 generates a private pressure that must be applied to the electrode 312 of the ion elution unit _. More specifically, the voltage generating section 403 may consider using a dry private pool 403 &, a plug (electrical connector) inserted into a household socket (commercial power supply) and a connecting cord 4㈣, and converting AC to DC The AC is converted to seek. The application of the voltage generated by the voltage generating unit 4G3 to the electrode 312 is controlled by the control unit 407. The voltage generated by the voltage generating unit 403 is applied to the electrodes η !, η] of the ion eluting unit 300 through the voltage-transformer circuit 404 and the flexible cord 500 described later. The electrodes 31 i, 312 elute metal ions. In addition, since the battery driving voltage generating section 403 is constituted by a dry battery 403a, the driving unit 400 can be installed without selecting a place of use. The drive unit 400 can be used even in places where commercial power cannot be used, and where commercial power is available, but the number of sockets is insufficient. That is, the user can use the drive unit in the desired place without having to consider whether there is a commercial power supply.

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -67- 200413595 to drive the ion elution unit 300. In addition, the electricity generation unit 403 may be configured to include all the above-mentioned plugs and connection cords 403_AC converters.胄 These two =, the drive of both the drive and the commercial power supply to drive the ion desorption unit_electricity: that is, if the environment where commercial power cannot be used, such as: the drive of the ion elution unit, and丄 = Using business rules ^ Using the above-mentioned plug and connecting the flexible cable and the converter to use / use the power. Therefore, the user can select the most suitable remote source according to the power environment to drive the ion elution unit 300. In addition, since the ion elution unit 300 can be driven by a commercial power source in addition to a battery drive, the running cost can be suppressed, and the drive unit 400 cannot be prevented from operating due to battery exhaustion. In addition, the battery generation unit 403 can also be formed by a rechargeable battery, and the above-mentioned rechargeable battery is automatically charged by connecting the flexible cord 403b and the AC converter through the above-mentioned plug. At this time, since it is not necessary to prepare a separate charger, the convenience of the user can be further improved. In addition, the above-mentioned plug serving as the voltage generating section 403 may be connected to the driving unit 400 via a connecting cord 403b, or may be integrally installed with the body of the driving unit * ⑻. At this time, since it is not necessary to connect the flexible cord 403b, the entire driving unit 400 can be reduced, and the installation space of the entire driving unit 400 can be reduced. (4-4. Transformer Circuit) The k-voltage circuit 404 is a circuit that transforms the voltage (boosted or lowered C) generated by the voltage generating unit 403 to the ion elution unit 3⑽. With the drive unit 400 and 3 of this kind of voltage transformer circuit 400, even with the general output voltage

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -68-200413595 When the battery 403a constitutes the voltage generating section 403, a sufficient voltage (for example, about 20V) to obtain the metal ions from the ion elution unit 300 can still be obtained. That is, it can also output 9 V and 12 V dry batteries 403 a to constitute the voltage generating unit 4G3 '. However, these prices are higher than-normally used dry batteries with an output of 1.5 V, which is expected to cause high running costs and not easy to continue to use. . However, as described above, by providing a voltage transformer circuit on the driving unit 400, such a problem can be avoided 'and a higher voltage can be output depending on t. In addition, when a commercial power source is used as the electric generating unit 403, the AC1 (K) V is reduced to ㈣ν by the voltage transformation circuit 404. An ion elution slip can be obtained: 3 00 is appropriate when eluting metal ions. Voltage. In addition, the 'transformer circuit 404 may be configured to change the applied voltage in accordance with the load (resistance of the electrodes 311, 312). Because electrodes 3ii and 312 are steady-current drives, when high voltage coils are often output, is the remaining electricity in the voltage applied to electrodes 3ii, 312 except for the part of the voltage required to elute metal ions, due to the Loss of electricity due to heat, etc. 'consumes unnecessary power. However, as described above, when the applied voltage is changed depending on the load, such power loss can be suppressed, and battery power can be effectively used. (4-5. Power supply voltage detection unit) The packet source detection unit 405 detects the battery exhaustion or abnormal power supply by monitoring the output power μ 'of the voltage generation unit 4'. More specifically, when the output voltage of the power generation unit 403 is lower than a specific voltage, the power supply day detection unit 405 judges that the battery & + > Λ or 黾 source is abnormal and outputs a signal of its content. To the control unit 407. In this case, the control unit 407 displays the battery life ρ ′ of the status display unit 402 and does not display 4G2a ′ to notify the user that an abnormality has occurred.

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -69- 200413595 Therefore, when the voltage generating unit 403 is constituted by the dry battery 403a, the user's battery can be urged to arrive at the battery, and it is time to replace it. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the liquid ② leakage and the like due to the continuous use of the dry battery 4G3a in this case. In addition, if the electric power generation source of the electricity generation unit 403 is a dry battery or a commercial power source, when the voltage output from the voltage generation unit 403 is reduced for some reason, such as a reduction in the amount of eluted metal ions, etc., the ion elution unit 300 failed to operate in the L-knife mode. However, since the output voltage of the voltage generation unit 403 is monitored by the power supply voltage detection unit 405 at any time, such a problem can be prevented, and the ion elution unit 300 is prevented. Act appropriately. (4-6 · Current-Detection Circuit) The current detection circuit 406 detects the current flowing into the electrode 3 11, 3 12 of the ion elution unit 3 00. When the current is less than the threshold value, the content of the current is detected. The output is output to the control unit 407. When the current is less than the threshold value, it can be determined that the electrode 3 12 is consumed due to the eluted metal ions, and is nearing the end of life. Therefore, the control unit 311 and the control unit 407 prompt the user to replace the ion elution unit 300 (unit body 301) by prompting the silver ion display lamp 40b to quickly notify the user that the electrodes 311 and 312 have reached the end of life. Therefore, it can be avoided that the elution amount of metal ions from the electrodes 312, 312 is reduced due to the consumption of the electrodes 311, 312, and the desired effect of the metal ions (such as sterilization effect) cannot be obtained, or its effect is reduced. In addition, when the current detected by the current detection circuit 406 is greater than the threshold value, it can be determined that the circuit and the electrodes 311, 312 are in an abnormal state such as a short circuit. Therefore, at this time, the current detection circuit 406 can also be configured to output a signal of its content to the control section 407, and notify the user of the abnormal state through the control of the control section 407. O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -70 · 2U0413595 (4-7_control section) (4-7-1 · first control) As mentioned above, the control section 407 controls the actors of the drive unit 400. The implementation form further-according to the ion elution unit, the magnetic detection unit 318 detects the presence or absence of water flow in the unit body 3 () 1 to control the application of the electricity generated by the voltage generating unit 403 to the electrodes 3m and 3ΐ2 of the ion elution unit. . More specifically, the control unit 407 controls the voltage generated by the voltage generation unit 403 to be applied to the ion elution unit 3 when the magnetic detection unit 318 of the ion elution unit 300 detects a water flow in the unit body 301. The electrode 3m, 312 of 〇〇, and when the above-mentioned water flow is not detected by the magnetic detection unit 318, the application of the voltage to the electrodes 3Π, 312 is stopped. When there is no water flow in the unit body 301, since the user or the machine does not need to add water of metal ions, it is not a state of flowing water, or there is no water in the unit body 301, so there is no need to apply voltage from the electrode. 3 11, 3 12 Eluted metal ions (silver ions). Therefore, in spite of this, when a voltage is still applied to the electrodes 3, i, 312, the drive unit 400 consumes power unnecessarily. However, the above-mentioned control is performed by the control unit 407. Only when water starts to flow into the unit body 30i, that is, when water of metal ions needs to be added, and when water flows into the unit body 301 and flows in, By applying a voltage to the electrodes 3 丨 丨, 3 丨 2, metal ions can be eluted from the electrodes 311,312. In this way, a voltage is applied to the electrodes 3U, 312 to elute the metal ions only when it is really necessary to elute the metal ions, so that the drive unit 400 can avoid unnecessary power consumption. In addition, when there is no water flow in the unit body 30 丨, when a voltage is applied to the electrodes 3 u and 3 12, a high concentration of elution occurs around the electrodes 311 and 312.

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -71- 200413595 metal ions, which may hinder the elution of metal ions later. In addition, the generation of water added with excessive metal ions may cause the expensive metal waste of electrodes 311, 312, and the generation of unnecessary water with high concentration of metal ions added, which may cause adverse effects. However, with the above-mentioned control, since no voltage is applied to the electrodes 311 and 312 in the above-mentioned state without water flow, there is no such concern. Furthermore, in a machine that automatically performs water supply, such as the washing machine 1, metal ions can be automatically eluted in conjunction with the water supply of the machine, and the procedure of controlling metal elution by the user in cooperation with the water supply in the machine can be omitted. (4-7-2. Second-second control) The control unit 407 may also be controlled so that when the magnetic detection unit 3 1 8 detects the flow rate of water flowing into the unit body 301, the flow rate applied to the electrode 311 is changed in accordance with the detected flow rate. , 312 voltage or current flowing into the electrodes 311,312. The flow rate of the water supplied from the tap 201 of the tap water varies depending on the area and the place where the washing machine 1 is installed. In the above-mentioned high-flow and low-flow places, even if the same amount of metal ions elutes when a voltage is applied to the electrodes 311, 312, the amount of water at the same time is still different, and the metal ion concentration is different depending on the water flow. Therefore, when the amount of washing strips and the amount of water supplied to the laundry are constant, because the amount of metal ions attached to the same amount of laundry is different, some places where the washing machine 1 is installed, because the amount of metal ions is small, The effect of the laundry (such as the antibacterial effect), or the amount of metal ions is too large, because the metal compound adheres to the laundry, causing the laundry to be contaminated. However, by performing the above control by the control unit 407, the amount of metal ions corresponding to the flow rate of water flowing into the unit body 301 can be eluted from the electrodes 3 11, 3 12. O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -72- 200413595 In this way, regardless of the installation location of the washing machine 1, the metal ion concentration of the water to which metal ions are added can be kept substantially constant, and the amount of eluted metal ions will not be excessive or insufficient. . Therefore, regardless of the place where the washing machine 1 is installed, it is possible to properly produce the required product from the metal ions in accordance with the washing process, and to prevent contamination of the strips due to excessive elution of the metal ions. In addition, by changing the elution amount of metal ions per unit time according to the water flow rate in the unit body 301, the user can obtain water with a specific metal ion concentration regardless of the flow rate change. Therefore, as long as the metal ions are silver ions, the user can obtain a stable bacterial effect. -(4-7-3 · Third Control) The control unit 407 can also control the application of voltage to the electrodes 311, 312 from the voltage generating unit 403, and stop applying the voltage to the electrodes 3ii, 312 after a certain time has passed. . If the water flow into the unit body 301 is small, if the metal ions are continuously eluted from the electrodes 3 1 1, 3 12, the metal ion concentration in the water to which the metal ions are added is very high. Contamination of the laundry due to metal compounding: adhesion. Renmin uses the control unit 407 to perform the above-mentioned control. Even if the flow rate is small, the metal ions can still be eluted at the appropriate time. Therefore, it is possible to avoid washing due to metal ions, 'excessive wave formation, and electrode 311' 312 premature to far service life. In addition, the calculation after a certain time can also be reset to zero when the pressure is stopped after a certain time. In this case, in order to make the washing tank 30

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -73-200413595 When the water quantity reaches a certain water quantity, it is divided into several times. Even if the user temporarily stops during the water supply, the time will not be reset arbitrarily, so there is no need to worry about the specific time being too long. Metal ion washing Excessive removal and excessive concentration. (4-8 • Other Structures) The antibacterial treatment device 200 of the present invention may use the driving unit 400 shown in FIG. 29 instead of the driving unit 400 shown in FIG. 28.

At least any one of the setting unit 421, the memory unit 4i3, and the vibration sensor 414. (4-8-1 · Concentration Setting Section) The concentration setting section 408 is used by the user to set the metal ion (silver ion) concentration. At this time, the control unit 407 controls the voltage generated by the voltage generating unit 403 to be changed in accordance with the concentration set by the concentration setting unit 408, and applies it to the electrodes 311 and 312. In addition, the control unit 407 may change the current flowing into the electrodes 311 and 312 and the voltage generated by the voltage generating unit 403 to be applied to the electrodes 3 η, 3 12 according to the wave amplitude set by the concentration setting unit 408. time. With this structure, the user can freely change the metal ion concentration of the water to which the metal ions are added by the concentration setting of the concentration setting unit 408. For example, the metal ion concentration can be set in accordance with the antibacterial ability required by the user. Thereby, the usability and utilization range of the anti-il treatment device 200 of the present invention can be expanded. (4-8-2. Water supply quantity setting unit) The water supply quantity setting unit 409 is used to set the water supply quantity to the washing machine it of the water supply device. At this time, the control unit 407 controls the amount of water supplied to the water supply volume setting unit O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -74- 200413595 409 to change the elution time of the metal ion (silver ion), that is, to change The application time of the voltage generated by the voltage generating section 403 to the electrodes 3m, Η] (the time when a current flows in the electrodes 311, 312). The amount of water supplied from the water supply to the washing machine 1 also determines the concentration of metal ions required to obtain a specific concentration of metal ions eluted for antibacterial treatment of the laundry. Since the eluted amount of metal ions is basically in accordance with Faraday's law, the time when a specific current flows on the electrodes 3 11, 3 u by applying a voltage is changed in accordance with the above-mentioned water supply amount, even if no flow detection means is provided (the detection section 315 ) And other cost-consuming devices can still stably supply metal ion-added water of the required concentration to the washing machine 1. In addition, the change in the elution time S of the metal ions can also change the total time of applying electrical materials to the electrodes 311, 312, and can also change the on / off of the electrode 311 when the voltage is applied to the electrode 311 interactively. Ratio of time to off time (time). (4-8-3. Elution Frequency Calculation Unit) The elution frequency calculation unit 410 calculates the elution times of the metal ions (silver ions) in the ion elution unit 300. At this time, the number of times of metal ion elution may also be ⑷ The voltage is applied to the electrode 3U alternately by the voltage generating unit 403. When it is broken, any one of them is turned on; The number of times from the demetallization ion to the end is regarded as the number of times. At 2 o'clock, the control unit 407 flashes the silver ion display lamp of the π-shaped display section 402 when the number of eluted metal ions exceeds a specific value. Because electrode 3 " 3 12 [^ metal ion elution times increase and gradually consumed, so by washing ... | 141〇3 ten different metal ion elution times, electrode m can be estimated,

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -75- 200413595 312. Therefore, the control unit 407 causes the silver ion display lamp to flash as quickly as possible, so that the user can understand the life of the electrode 311 ′ 312 and urge him to replace the unit 301. In addition, by providing a simple structure of the elution frequency calculation unit 41, such an effect can be easily obtained. (4-8-4 · Water Supply Frequency Calculation Unit) The water supply frequency calculation unit 411 detects the presence or absence of water flow based on the detection unit 3 15 of the ion elution unit 300, and calculates the washing machine 1 from the ion elution unit 300 to the water supply device. Water supply person. For example, when the detection unit 315 detects the water flow in the unit body 301 for the first time ..., the water supply frequency calculation unit 411 calculates it as the first water supply frequency. Once the detection unit 315 detects no water flow, it detects a water flow again. , It is calculated as the number of times of the second water supply. When such a water supply frequency calculation unit 411 is provided, the water supply frequency calculated by the control unit 407 in the water supply frequency calculation unit 411 is the number corresponding to the period when the metal ions must be eluted (corresponding to the number of washing steps where the metal ions must be eluted) After that (for example, after the third time of water supply), the voltage generated by the voltage generating unit 40 is applied to the electrodes 311 and 312 of the ion elution unit 300, and metal ions are eluted from the electrodes 3U and 312. Normally, when the washing machine 1 runs the washing step, the washing step is performed first, and then the washing step is performed. In each washing step, the water supply to the washing machine 1 is the main water supply that supplies a specific amount of water in each step; and in order to supplement the water level drop caused by the water soaking cloth, additional water is added in the middle of each step; In the washing step, even if water containing metal ions is supplied into the washing machine 1, the metal ions and dirt and laundry detergent containing a large amount of clothes

However, in the washing step where the number of times of water supply is the first time (main water supply) and the second time (additional water supply), no voltage is applied to the electrodes 311, 312, and after the third time of water supply, that is, the next cleaning After the step, when a voltage is applied to the electrodes 311 and 312 and metal ions are eluted from the electrodes 311 and 312, the eluted metal ions can be prevented from being wasted and the metal ions can be effectively used. In addition, since the dirt of the laundry is also substantially removed in the washing step, it is also easy for the metal ions to exert an effect on the strip washing by the subsequent water supply of water to which metal ions are added. (4-8-5 · Elution start water supply frequency setting unit) > Start elution water supply frequency setting unit 412 is used to set the number of times of water supply from the ion elution sheet 7G300 electrode 3 "'312 to start elution of metal ions When setting the number of times of water supply start elution setting unit 412, the control unit 4G7 causes the voltage generation unit to complete the number of times of water supply set by the number of water supply times calculation unit 411: The generated voltage is applied to the electrodes 3u, 3i2 of the ion elution unit 3⑻, and the metal ions are eluted from the electrodes 311, 312.

At this time, for the purpose of the rule, = effect 'to make metal ions adhere to clothes, you only need to supply water with metal ions added at least in the most subsequent dressing machine 1, so at = step: the previous cleaning step and No need to supply metal ions / clothing machine 1. This is due to the metal in the cleaning before the final cleaning step

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -77- 200413595 == The cleaning in the subsequent steps is washed away, which cannot be fully and effectively used, and w becomes a waste of metal ions. The above-mentioned control is removed, because the added gold "7 'is supplied only when the number of times of water supply set at the start of washing ion 412 is reached, so even if the cleaning step includes several cleaning steps, such as only == water supply corresponding to the last cleaning step Read, you can only supply the metal ion-added water to the washing machine when the first step is reached. Therefore, the other steps (the washing step and the cleaning step other than the π washing v step) should be supplied without adding the metal ion-added water. Since the metal ions are eluted, the metal ions can be prevented from unnecessary elution, and the metal ions can be effectively used. In addition, when the starting water supply frequency setting unit 412 is set, the control unit 407 can also calculate the water supply calculated by the water supply frequency calculation unit 411. After reaching the number of times of water supply set by the starting elution water supply frequency setting unit 412, the voltage generated by the voltage generating unit 403 is continuously applied to the electrode 311 '312 of the ion elution unit_. The metal ions are eluted from the electrodes 311, 312. As shown in FIG. 5, the cleaning step is initially a dehydration step, and during this dehydration step, an imbalance may occur in the strip washing tank 30. The so-called imbalance means that the knee washes are arranged in a square direction in the washing tank 3G, and when the dehydration is started, the balanced rotation cannot be performed well, which causes a large vibration phenomenon in the washing tank 30 and the washing machine itself. Therefore, the washing machine 1 When the detection means (not shown in the figure) detects such an imbalance, the control means of the washing machine 1 supplies water to the washing tub 30 and sorts out the laundry to perform the control for correcting the imbalance. Therefore, the correction for the imbalance is performed. Water supply

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -78- 200413595 The calculation unit 411 also calculates this as the number of times of water supply once. Therefore, even if the number of times of water supply to start elution is initially set by the number of times of water supply to start elution, the middle When the fan performs the imbalance correction, the number of times of the water supply set by the starting elution water supply frequency setting section 412 may exceed the number of water supplies corresponding to the last washing step. In other words, before the final cleaning step is reached, the actual number of times of water supply reaches the water supply-number of persons set by the start of elution water supply number setting section 412, and metal ion-added water is started to be supplied. However, with the above-mentioned control of the control unit 407, since the water supply number set by the starting water supply frequency setting unit 412 is started, the metal ion-added water is still supplied to the washing machine. Therefore, even if an imbalance occurs, water supply occurs. If the number of times increases unexpectedly, the metal ion-added water will be supplied to the washing machine in the final cleaning step. Therefore, the required antibacterial treatment can be performed in the final washing step. That is, it is possible to surely avoid the problem that the user cannot obtain the required antibacterial ability due to the supply of water containing no metal ions in the final π washing step, which reduces the amount of metal ions attached to the clothes previously supplied. In addition, after the washing step, that is, during the dehydration step after the last washing step, imbalance may occur, and even in this case, the step of correcting the imbalance may be performed. Even in this case, by the above-mentioned control of the control unit 407, after the water supply frequency set by the water supply frequency setting unit 412 starts to elute, the metal ion-added water is continuously supplied to the washing machine. The same problem as described above is supplied after the last cleaning step. (4-8-6. Memory section)

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -79- 200413595 The memory unit 413 is a memory means for memorizing the water supply time required to supply metal ion-added water (silver ion water) to the washing machine i. In addition, the memory unit 413 in Fig. M is provided separately from the control unit 407, but it may also be constituted by the control unit's internal memory. The water and water can be stored in the memory unit 413 in advance, or a water supply time setting unit not shown in the figure can be provided, and the water supply time set by this can be stored in the memory unit 413. In addition, the water supply water amount setting unit 409 and the start of elution water supply frequency setting unit 412 shown in Fig. 29 can also be used as the water supply time setting unit described above. In the case of setting up the memory unit 413, the control unit 407 can drive the voltage generating unit 403 in accordance with the water supply time of the metal ion-added water stored in the memory unit 413, and the electrode 311 of the ion elution unit 300, Voltage is applied to 312. The above water supply time is the time before the water supply time of the metal ion-added water is stored in the memory unit 413. The control unit 407 passes the above time after the drive unit 400 is turned on by the operation unit 40i. After that, the voltage generating section 403 is driven, and a voltage is applied to the electrodes 311 and 312. In addition, when the above water supply time memorizes the "specific water supply flow rate" in the memory unit 4 丨 3, the control unit 407 drives the voltage generation unit 403 when the flow rate detected by the detection unit 315 reaches the above water supply flow rate, and Voltage is applied to 311, 312. In addition, the above water supply time, for example, when "the number of times of water supply in the cleaning step』 "is memorized in the memory unit 4 丨 3, the control unit 407 will record the number of times of water supply in the §memory unit 413 when the current number of water supply reaches The driving voltage generating section 403 applies a voltage to the electrodes 3 1 1, 3 12.

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -80-200413595 So, because the memory unit 413 can memorize the water supply time to the washing machine 丨 and elute metal ions from the electrodes 3 丨 丨, 3 12 during the water supply time, it can only When it is necessary to supply metal ion-added water, water supply of metal ion-added water is performed. For example, the washing step in the washing machine 1 is performed. The washing step, washing step, dehydration step and drying step are performed. Even if water for adding metal ions is supplied during the washing step, the metal ions do not adhere to the laundry. Washing together causes waste of the supplied metal ions. However, when the metal ion-added water is supplied in accordance with the above water supply time, even if the operation unit 4 () 1 is turned on, the metal ions are not immediately eluted, such as when the metal washing step is reached. Therefore, even if the drive unit is turned on in advance when washing is started, the metal ions will not be eluted from the electrodes 3ii, 312. Therefore, the electrodes 311 and 312 can be effectively used, the ‘40 of the month ’can be saved, and the eluted metal ions can also be effectively used, and it can effectively act on the laundry. ^ Bu 'adopts the above structure, and by the control department at a specific water supply time: the water of the child to the laundry W, the need to supply additional metal ion == washing tax metal ions to supply to the washing machine h, so that ... The time to supply water for adding metal ions is to be operated manually. For example, when starting the washing service, just turn on the drive unit 400, and then the user can do: Be sure to next to the unit n + :, unit_, and here In the meantime, other work will be done to increase user convenience. In addition, the addition of metal ions is performed by manually inputting the operation unit 4 (H).

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC -81-200413595 When you supply water, you may miss the time to supply metal ion-added water because you forgot to operate the operation unit 401. The system automatically supplies water with added metal ions, so there is no need to worry about such problems. In addition, the necessary water supply time and the necessary water supply flow rate of the metal ion-added water can be memorized in the memory unit 413 in advance, and the control unit 407 controls to start supplying the metal ion-added water after the above water supply time, or After the metal ion-added water is supplied only to the above-mentioned water supply flow rate, the voltage from the voltage generating unit 403 to the electrodes 3π and 312 is automatically stopped. With this, even when the user has turned off the driving of the driving unit 400 by the operation portion 401, it is possible to avoid unintended power consumption and unnecessary elution of metal ions. (4- 8-7 · Vibration sensor section) The vibration sensor 4 丨 4 is a detection method based on the vibration of the washing machine of the water supply device. The control unit 407 is controlled so that the vibration sensor 414 detects the solar cell at the aforementioned period, and applies the voltage generated by the voltage generating unit 403 to the electrode 31b 312 of the ion elution unit 300. For example, in the washing step and the washing step, due to the rotation speed of the washing tank 3 (), the amount of water in the washing tank 30, and the rotation speed of the wing 33, the vibration of the washing machine is different. More specifically, in the step of "interfering with the washing step and the washing step", the mixing wing 33 is rotated at about 100 rpm (the motor is also about ι〇〇㈣), during the intermediate dehydration step, the washing tank ㈣ is about _ Ah (the motor is also about _ rotating. So between these steps, a significant difference in the vibration cycle (frequency) appears. Therefore, the vibration sensor 414, such as by the washing tank 30, stirring

O: \ 88 \ 88498.DOC • 82- 200413595 The difference in the vibration cycle caused by the difference in the number of revolutions of the wing 33 and the motor can be used to roughly and accurately detect the washing steps (such as washing steps) that require the elution of metal ions. By performing the above control, the control unit 407 can apply a voltage to the electrodes 311 and 312 when the washing step enters the washing step to elute the metal ions. Therefore, even if the driving unit 400 is turned on in advance, it will not be caused by the electrode 3U. '312 unnecessarily elutes metal ions. Therefore, the electrodes 311, 3, 12 can be effectively used, that is, unnecessary consumption is saved, and the same effect as that in the structure in which the memory section is provided and the metal ion-added water is supplied between the special water supply day guards can be obtained. In addition, it is possible to perform the detection of the period when metal rhenium needs to be eluted as described below. That is, the vibration amplitude range of the washing machine in a washing step (such as a washing step) where metal ions need to be eluted can be memorized in the memory section 413 in advance, and the control section 407 determines whether the vibration amplitude of the washing machine 1 is within the above range Come in. _ In addition, if the vibration amplitude range of the washing step is stored in the storage unit 413 in advance, the control unit 407 can perform the operation by determining whether the vibration amplitude of the washing machine exceeds the above range. In addition, the vibration sensor 414 can also detect the vibration of the water supply valve 50. Thereby, the vibration sensor 414 can detect when the water supply valve 50 is being driven, that is, when water is being supplied. Therefore, by the control unit controlling based on such detection, metal ions can be eluted during the water supply and supplied Add metal ion water. ^ Bull HMG7 can also be controlled to detect the vibration of the washing machine in the dehydration step by the vibration sensor 414. ^ ^ + The vibration automatically stops the self-voltage generation unit 403 from applying thunder hate to the poles 3 11, 3 12, . Soil. In this way, even if the user forgets to turn off the private drive by the operation department 401-/ _ Jingtian when driving as early as 70400, it can still avoid unnecessary consumption

8.DOC 〇: \ 88 \ 88491 -83- 200413595 Electrolyte and unnecessary elution of metal ions. (4-9 · Effects) The drive unit 400 having the above structure is detachably disposed outside the washing machine 1 of the water supply device. With this, an ion elution unit 300 and a driving unit 400 can be added later, so even if the washing machine i is an existing type without an ion elution unit, it can still easily achieve the same function as a washing machine i with an ion elution unit. . Therefore, there is no need to replace the existing washing machine needlessly, and the existing washing machine 1 can be effectively used. In addition, since the drive unit 400 is located in the washing machine, the repair and battery replacement of the drive unit 400 is easy and easy when the battery is exhausted.
