PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic granular detergent supply device in which a granular detergent is less likely to accumulate on the inner peripheral surface of a mixing chamber.SOLUTION: An automatic granular detergent supply device comprises: a hopper for accumulating a granular detergent; a detergent supply part provided below the hopper for sending the granular detergent from the hopper thereto; and a mixing chamber for creating a detergent solution by mixing the granular detergent supplied from the detergent supply part and water, or a mixture of the granular detergent and water. In the detergent supply part, a driven gear for scraping out the granular detergent to the mixing chamber is provided in the upper part of the mixing chamber. A scraping member, which is moved along the inner peripheral surface of the mixing chamber by the rotation of the driven gear, is provided on the surface of the driven gear on the mixing chamber side. The scraping member has a comb shape, and teeth of the comb shape are arranged vertically in a direction toward the inner peripheral surface of the mixing chamber. |
