Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To wash laundry with water obtained by diluting electrolytic solution, to sterilize the laundry, and to prevent malodor of the laundry after drying by incorporating a mechanism for electrolyzing chlorine ion solution such as non-diaphragm type electrolytic cell or a diaphragm type electrolytic cell in a washing machine. SOLUTION: A mechanism for electrolyzing a chlorine ion solution in a non-diaphragm type electrolytic cell or a diaphragm type electrolytic cell and injecting the electrolytic solution in the washing water is incorporated in a washing machine. That is, an electrolytic cell 3 into which the chlorine ion solution in a chlorine ion solution take 1 is fed by a chemical pump 2 is provided. The electrolytic solution obtained by the electrolysis is fed to an intermediate part of a feed pipe 8 to a rinsing port 5 via feed pipe 4 and mixed to water fed from the feed pipe 8. The water mixed with the electrolytic solution is fed to a washing tank 6 after rinsing and sterilizes laundry after rinsing. Preferably, the effective chloride concentration of the used mixed diluting water is approximately 35 ppm.

Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention performs electrolysis of a chloride ion solution, injects the electrolysis solution into washing water, and supplies chlorine ion electricity to washing water and rinsing water. The decomposition solution is injected. Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to examples. Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention using a diaphragm-free electrolytic cell. After rinsing, the chlorine ion solution (1) is supplied to the electrolytic tank (3) by the chemical pump (2) to the water supplied from the water supply pipe (8), and the electrolytic solution is electrolyzed. The mixture was diluted through (4) and supplied to the washing tub (6) from the water spout (5) to sterilize the washed laundry (not shown). The effective chlorine concentration of the mixed dilution water was 35 ppm. Thereafter, the dehydrated and dried laundry did not have any off-flavor, and the number of bacteria per 100 cm ² was 10 or less. Embodiment 2 FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the present invention using a diaphragm electrolytic cell. When the chlorine ion solution is electrolyzed by the diaphragm type electrolytic cell (9) at the same time that the water is poured from the spout (5) simultaneously with the start of the washing, the cathode chamber water generated in the cathode chamber (14) Poured into the washing tub through a cathode water injection tube (12). Cathode water contains alkali and enhances the cleaning effect. At the same time, the anode water generated in the anode tank (13) was stored in the anode water storage tank (10). It is also possible to use a detergent in combination with washing in the anode compartment water. After rinsing, the anode compartment water valve (16) was opened and the anode compartment water was poured into the washing tub from the anode compartment water injection pipe (15) to sterilize the laundry. The laundry after drying had no stains and no odor.
