이하 첨부된 도면을 참조하면서, 본 고안의 바람직한 실시예를 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
제2도는 본 고안에 따른 세탁기의 세제 감지장치를 갖는 세탁기의 주요부를 도시한 분리 사시도이다. 도시된 바와 같이, 세제를 담는 세제통(4)은 세제통하우징(5)에 삽입된다. 그리고 세제통하우징상판(3)이 그 세제통하우징을 덮도록 되어 있다.Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the main part of the washing machine having a detergent sensing device of the washing machine according to the present invention. As shown, the detergent container 4 containing the detergent is inserted into the detergent container housing 5. The detergent container housing top plate 3 covers the detergent container housing.
상기 세제통하우징상판(3)의 가장자리 일측에는 탄성체(31)가 스크류(32)에 의하여 제1단자(100)와 함께 체결되어 있는데, 그 체결된 탄성체(31)는 세제통하우징상판(3)에 형성된 홈(33)을 통과하여 하방향으로 탄성바이어스된다.An elastic body 31 is fastened together with the first terminal 100 by a screw 32 on one side of the edge of the detergent container housing upper plate 3, and the fastened elastic body 31 is formed on the detergent container housing upper plate 3. It is elastically biased downward through the groove 33.
상기 세제통(4)은 각각의 다른 세제를 담도록 3개의 방(44)으로 나뉘어져 있다. 그 각 방의 저면(4i)에는 도체(42)가 연결되어 설치되며, 이 도체(42)는 방들중 가장자리방의 상부(43)까지 연결되어 있다. 이는 세제통(4)을 상기 세제통하우징에 삽입했을 때 상기 탄성체(31와 연결되기 위함이다.The detergent container 4 is divided into three rooms 44 to contain different detergents. The conductor 42 is connected and installed in the bottom face 4i of each room, and this conductor 42 is connected to the upper part 43 of the edge room among the rooms. This is to be connected to the elastic body 31 when the detergent container 4 is inserted into the detergent container housing.
그리고 상기 각 방(44)의 저면(41)에 설치된 도체(42)의 위 또는 옆에는 소정의 간격을 두고 제2단자(200)가 설치된다. 이는 세제가 이들 방(44)에 담겨지지 않으면, 상기 도체(42)와 제2단자(200) 사이에 전류가 통하지 않아 저항이 무한대로 되며, 세제가 이들 방(44)에 담겨지면 전류가 통하여 저항값이 낮아진다. 따라서 세제의 유무를 판단할 수 있다.The second terminal 200 is provided at a predetermined interval above or beside the conductor 42 provided on the bottom surface 41 of each of the rooms 44. If the detergent is not contained in these rooms 44, the current is not passed between the conductor 42 and the second terminal 200, the resistance is infinite, and if the detergent is contained in these rooms 44, the current flows through The resistance value is lowered. Therefore, it is possible to determine the presence of detergent.
상술한 바와 같이 구성된 본 고안에 따른 세제 감지장치를 갖는 세탁기는 다음과 같이 작동한다.The washing machine having the detergent sensing device according to the present invention configured as described above operates as follows.
세제통(4)에 세제를 담지 않고 세제통하우징(5)에 삽입하면, 세제통하우징상판(3)에 설치된 제1단자(100)에 연결된 탄성체(31)가 세제통(4)에 설치된 도체(42)에 접촉한다. 이 상태에서 제1단자(100)의 전류는 도체까지 흐른다. 이때 세제통(4)에 설치된 도체(42)와 제2단자(200) 사이의 저항이 무한대이므로 전류는 통하지 않아 세탁기는 자동세탁과정이 진행되지 않는다.When the detergent container 4 is inserted into the detergent container housing 5 without containing detergent, the elastic body 31 connected to the first terminal 100 installed on the detergent container housing top plate 3 is connected to the conductor 42 installed in the detergent container 4. Contact. In this state, the current of the first terminal 100 flows to the conductor. At this time, since the resistance between the conductor 42 and the second terminal 200 installed in the detergent container 4 is infinite, the current does not pass and the washing machine does not proceed with the automatic washing process.
세제통(4)에 세제를 담고 세제통하우징(5)에 삽입하면, 세제통하우징상판(3)에 설치된 제1단자(100)에 연결된 탄성체(32)가 세제통(4)에 설치된 도체(42)에 접촉하여 제1단자의 전류는 도체(42)까지 흐르는 상태이다. 세제통(4)에 설치된 도체(42)와 제2단자(200) 사이에 세제가 있으므로 그 사이의 저항이 수 오옴(Ω)이 된다. 이를 근거로 세탁기는 그 자동세탁과정을 진행하게 된다. 이때 상기 세제통(4)을 완전히 닫지 않으면 상기 탄성체(31)가 도체(42)에 접촉되지 않으므로 전류는 통하지 않아 자동세탁과장이 진행되지 않는다.When detergent is contained in the detergent container 4 and inserted into the detergent container housing 5, the elastic body 32 connected to the first terminal 100 installed on the detergent container housing top plate 3 contacts the conductor 42 installed in the detergent container 4. Therefore, the current of the first terminal flows up to the conductor 42. Since there is detergent between the conductor 42 and the second terminal 200 provided in the detergent container 4, the resistance therebetween becomes several ohms. Based on this, the washing machine proceeds with the automatic washing process. At this time, if the detergent container 4 is not completely closed, since the elastic body 31 does not contact the conductor 42, the electric current does not pass and the automatic washing exaggeration does not proceed.
따라서 투입된 세제의 유무를 감지할 수 있을 뿐만아니라 세제통의 닫힘 상태를 감지할 수 있으므로, 세제가 투입된 후에 만이 세탁과정이 수행되도록 할 수 있다. 이 결과 사용자가 세제통을 항상 열어서 세제통의 닫힘 및 열림 상태 그리고 세제의 유무를 확인하는 번거러움을 해소할 수 있다.Therefore, the presence of the detergent can be detected as well as the closed state of the detergent container can be detected, so that the washing process can be performed only after the detergent is added. As a result, the user can always open the detergent container to eliminate the hassle of checking the closed and open state of the detergent container and the presence of detergent.
