Description

本発明は、衣類の乾燥を行う衣類乾燥装置および洗濯機能を備えた衣類乾燥装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a clothes drying apparatus for drying clothes and a clothes drying apparatus having a washing function.

従来のドラム式の洗濯乾燥機は図8に示すような構成であった。以下、その構成について説明する。図に示すように、筐体1の内部には、複数のサスペンション2によって弾性的に支持された円筒状の水槽3を設け、洗濯、脱水時の振動をサスペンション2によって吸収する構成としている。水槽3の内部には、洗濯または乾燥対象物4(以下、衣類という)を収容する円筒状で横軸型の回転槽5を回転可能に配設し、駆動モータ6により回転軸6aを回転させて回転駆動する。   A conventional drum-type washing and drying machine has a configuration as shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the configuration will be described. As shown in the figure, a cylindrical water tank 3 elastically supported by a plurality of suspensions 2 is provided inside the housing 1, and the suspension 2 absorbs vibrations during washing and dehydration. Inside the water tank 3, a cylindrical, horizontal axis type rotating tank 5 that accommodates an object 4 to be washed or dried (hereinafter referred to as clothing) is rotatably arranged, and a rotating shaft 6 a is rotated by a drive motor 6. To rotate.

回転槽5の内壁には衣類を撹拌する複数のバッフル(図示せず)が設けられ、回転槽5の周壁には小孔5aを多数設けている。筐体1の前面には衣類4を出し入れする開口部1aと、これを開閉する扉7が設けられている。水槽3および回転槽5の前面側にも同様の開口部3a、5bを有し、この水槽3の開口部3aはベローズ8によって筐体1の開口部1aと水密に連結されている。水槽3の底部には洗濯水を排出する排水口9を有し、排水弁10を介して排水ホース11に連結され、その先端部は機外に導出されている。   A plurality of baffles (not shown) for stirring clothes are provided on the inner wall of the rotating tub 5, and a plurality of small holes 5 a are provided on the peripheral wall of the rotating tub 5. On the front surface of the housing 1, there are provided an opening 1a through which clothes 4 are taken in and out and a door 7 for opening and closing the opening 1a. Similar openings 3 a and 5 b are also provided on the front side of the water tank 3 and the rotating tank 5, and the opening 3 a of the water tank 3 is water-tightly connected to the opening 1 a of the housing 1 by a bellows 8. The bottom of the aquarium 3 has a drain port 9 for discharging washing water, and is connected to a drain hose 11 via a drain valve 10, and its tip is led out of the machine.

送風機12は、ヒータ13によって加熱された温風を給気口14から回転槽5内に送風供給するものである。循環ダクト15は、回転槽5および水槽3を通過した湿った乾燥用空気の除湿を行うもので、一端を水槽3の下部の排気口16に接続し、他端を送風機12に接続している。給水弁17は、水道の蛇口等に接続された給水ホース18からの給水を制御する。   The blower 12 blows and supplies the warm air heated by the heater 13 from the air supply port 14 into the rotary tank 5. The circulation duct 15 performs dehumidification of the damp drying air that has passed through the rotary tank 5 and the water tank 3, and has one end connected to the exhaust port 16 at the bottom of the water tank 3 and the other end connected to the blower 12. . The water supply valve 17 controls water supply from a water supply hose 18 connected to a tap or the like of a water supply.

上記構成において、洗濯運転を行う場合は、扉7を開いて回転槽5内へ衣類4および洗剤を入れて運転を開始する。まず、給水弁17が洗濯水側の給水口を開き、水槽3および回転槽5内に所定量の水が供給されると、駆動モータ6が作動し回転槽5が回転駆動され洗浄動作を行う。所定時間後、駆動モータ6が停止して排水弁10が開き、汚れた水が回転槽5および水槽3から排水され、排水ホース11を介して機外の排水場所へ排水される。次に、上記と同様に水槽3および回転槽5に水が供給され、すすぎ動作を行う。すすぎが終了すると排水弁10が開いて排水された後、回転槽5が駆動モータ6により高速で回転駆動されることにより、衣類4の脱水が行われる。   In the above configuration, when the washing operation is performed, the door 7 is opened, the clothes 4 and the detergent are put into the rotating tub 5, and the operation is started. First, when the water supply valve 17 opens the water supply port on the washing water side and a predetermined amount of water is supplied into the water tank 3 and the rotary tank 5, the drive motor 6 is activated and the rotary tank 5 is rotationally driven to perform a washing operation. . After a predetermined time, the drive motor 6 is stopped, the drain valve 10 is opened, and dirty water is drained from the rotary tank 5 and the water tank 3 and drained to a drainage place outside the machine via the drain hose 11. Next, water is supplied to the water tank 3 and the rotary tank 5 in the same manner as described above, and a rinsing operation is performed. When the rinsing is completed, the drain valve 10 is opened and drained, and then the rotating tub 5 is rotationally driven by the drive motor 6 at a high speed, whereby the clothes 4 are dehydrated.

以上のように洗濯運転が終了すると、乾燥運転が開始する。乾燥工程では駆動モータ6により低速で回転槽5を回転駆動させ衣類4を撹拌しながら、送風機12により矢印19の方向に送風された空気は、ヒータ13で加熱されて温風となり、給気口14から回転槽5内へ送り込まれる。この温風は、衣類4の水分を奪った後、回転槽5の小孔5aから水槽3内を通過して排気口16を経て循環ダクト15へ至る。   When the washing operation is completed as described above, the drying operation is started. In the drying process, while the rotating tub 5 is driven to rotate at a low speed by the drive motor 6 and the clothes 4 are stirred, the air blown in the direction of the arrow 19 by the blower 12 is heated by the heater 13 to become warm air, and the air supply port 14 into the rotary tank 5. This hot air takes away moisture from the garment 4, then passes through the water tank 3 through the small hole 5 a of the rotating tub 5 and reaches the circulation duct 15 through the exhaust port 16.

このとき給水弁17が冷却水側の給水口を開いており、循環ダクト15内には冷却水が注水されている。衣類4の水分を奪って湿気を含んだ温風がこの循環ダクト15内を通過するとき、冷却水により冷却されて水分の結露が起こり、湿った温風は除湿されて矢印に示すように再び送風機12へ戻る。この冷却水および結露水は排水弁10を介して機外へ排水される。この送風機12、ヒータ13、給気口14、回転槽5、水槽3、排気口16、循環ダクト15の循環経路で温風を循環させることにより、回転槽5内の衣類4を乾燥させることができる。   At this time, the water supply valve 17 opens the water supply port on the cooling water side, and cooling water is poured into the circulation duct 15. When the warm air containing moisture from the clothing 4 deprives moisture and passes through the circulation duct 15, the cooling water cools it to cause moisture condensation, and the moist warm air is dehumidified and again as shown by the arrow. Return to the blower 12. This cooling water and dew condensation water is drained out of the machine via the drain valve 10. By circulating hot air through the circulation path of the blower 12, the heater 13, the air supply port 14, the rotary tank 5, the water tank 3, the exhaust port 16, and the circulation duct 15, the clothes 4 in the rotary tank 5 can be dried. it can.

上記従来の構成では、衣類4の乾燥に使用された熱は、循環ダクト15の冷却水もしくは筐体1からの放熱によって全て外部に捨てられるものであり、再利用されることがなかった。   In the above-described conventional configuration, the heat used for drying the garment 4 is all discarded to the outside by the cooling water of the circulation duct 15 or the heat radiation from the housing 1, and is not reused.

そこで、冷媒を圧縮する圧縮機と、圧縮された冷媒の熱を放熱する放熱器と、高圧の冷媒の圧力を減圧するための絞り手段と、減圧されて低圧となった冷媒が周囲から熱を奪う吸熱器とを冷媒が循環するように管路で連結したヒートポンプ装置を衣類乾燥機に設けることが提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。この構成によれば、外部に放出される熱量を回収し、有効にエネルギーを利用して衣類の乾燥が行えることが分かっている。
特開平7−178289号公報
Therefore, a compressor that compresses the refrigerant, a radiator that dissipates the heat of the compressed refrigerant, throttle means for reducing the pressure of the high-pressure refrigerant, and the reduced-pressure and low-pressure refrigerant generate heat from the surroundings. It has been proposed to provide a clothes dryer with a heat pump device in which a refrigerant is circulated through a pipe line so that the refrigerant circulates (see, for example, Patent Document 1). According to this configuration, it has been found that the amount of heat released to the outside can be recovered and the clothes can be effectively dried using energy.

It can be efficiently collected in the water storage room.

第4の発明は、特に、第2の発明の吸熱器および放熱器の通風面を鉛直方向に対して傾けて配置したものであり、吸熱器及び放熱器に対して乾燥用空気を垂直に流すことができるため熱交換効率を向上させることができる。   In particular, the fourth aspect of the present invention is an arrangement in which the ventilation surfaces of the heat absorber and radiator of the second invention are inclined with respect to the vertical direction, and the drying air is allowed to flow vertically to the heat absorber and radiator. Therefore, the heat exchange efficiency can be improved.

第5の発明は、特に、第1〜4のいずれか1つの発明において、洗濯水が貯留可能な水槽と、前記水槽の水を底部から排水する水槽排水路と、水槽から所定量を超えた水を排出する溢水口と、貯水室の水を送出する排水ポンプとを備え、前記排水ポンプの出口と接続したポンプ排水経路の一部は前記溢水口より上方に配設されたものであり、ヒートポンプ装置及び熱交換風路を筐体内の空きスペースとなる乾燥室の下部にコンパクトに収容することができ、貯水室に貯まった水は洗濯水を排水する排水ホースから排出できる。しかもポンプ排水経路の一部は溢水口より上方に配設されているので、洗濯運転時に洗濯水が貯水室に流入して貯水室が溢れることがない。   In particular, according to a fifth invention, in any one of the first to fourth inventions, a water tank capable of storing washing water, a water tank drainage channel for draining water of the water tank from the bottom, and a predetermined amount from the water tank.

(実施の形態1)
図1は本発明の第1の実施の形態における洗濯乾燥機の断面図であり、図2はその背面図である。また、図3は本実施の形態のヒートポンプ装置の構成と乾燥用空気の流れを示すシステム概念図である。
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a washing / drying machine according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a rear view thereof. Moreover, FIG. 3 is a system conceptual diagram which shows the structure of the heat pump apparatus of this Embodiment, and the flow of drying air.

図に示すように、筐体1の内部には、複数のサスペンション2によって弾性的に支持された円筒状の水槽3を設け、洗濯、脱水時の振動をサスペンション2によって吸収する。水槽3の内部には、衣類4を収容する円筒状の回転槽5を回転可能に設け、駆動モータ6により回転駆動される。回転槽5は洗濯工程においては洗濯室となり、乾燥工程においては乾燥室となる。ここで、筐体1内において水槽3及び回転槽5は、前面よりも背面が下がるように設けられており、回転槽5の回転軸方向が水平方向から20〜30度後下がりに傾斜している。   As shown in the figure, a cylindrical water tank 3 elastically supported by a plurality of suspensions 2 is provided inside the housing 1, and vibrations during washing and dehydration are absorbed by the suspension 2. A cylindrical rotating tub 5 that accommodates the clothes 4 is rotatably provided inside the water tub 3 and is driven to rotate by a drive motor 6. The rotating tub 5 becomes a laundry room in the washing process, and becomes a drying room in the drying process. Here, in the housing 1, the water tank 3 and the rotating tank 5 are provided so that the back surface is lowered from the front surface, and the rotation axis direction of the rotating tank 5 is inclined downward by 20 to 30 degrees from the horizontal direction. Yes.

筐体1の前面には衣類4を出し入れする開口部1aと、これを開閉する扉7が設けられている。水槽3および回転槽5の前面側にも同様の開口部3a、5bを有し、この水槽3の開口部3aはベローズ8によって筐体1の開口部1aと水密に連結されている。水槽3の底部には洗濯水を排出する排水口9を有し排水弁10に連結されている。また、水槽3には溢水口50が設けられ、所定の水位以上に水が供給された場合には、溢れた水は溢水ホース51を介して排水ホース11へ流れて機外に排出される。   On the front surface of the housing 1, there are provided an opening 1a through which clothes 4 are taken in and out and a door 7 for opening and closing the opening 1a. Similar openings 3 a and 5 b are also provided on the front side of the water tank 3 and the rotating tank 5, and the opening 3 a of the water tank 3 is water-tightly connected to the opening 1 a of the housing 1 by a bellows 8. The bottom of the water tank 3 has a drain port 9 for discharging washing water and is connected to a drain valve 10. Further, the water tank 3 is provided with an overflow port 50, and when water is supplied to a predetermined level or higher, the overflowed water flows to the drainage hose 11 through the overflow hose 51 and is discharged outside the apparatus.

送風手段を構成する送風機12は、図2に示すように筐体1の背面下部に設けられている。送風機12は水槽3の外面に設けた給気ダクト20と連通し、給気ダクト20の給気ダクト入口21から入った乾燥用空気を矢印cの方向に送風して給気口14から回転槽5内に供給する。また、水槽3の外面には、水槽3の上方に設けられた排気口16と連通する排気ダクト22を設け、回転槽5および水槽3を通過して排気口16から出てきた空気を、矢印dのように排気ダクト入口24から排気ダクト出口23へと導出する。   The blower 12 constituting the blower means is provided at the lower back of the housing 1 as shown in FIG. The blower 12 communicates with an air supply duct 20 provided on the outer surface of the water tank 3, and blows drying air that has entered from the air supply duct inlet 21 of the air supply duct 20 in the direction of the arrow c to rotate from the air supply opening 14 to the rotating tank. 5 is supplied. Further, an exhaust duct 22 communicating with the exhaust port 16 provided above the water tank 3 is provided on the outer surface of the water tank 3, and the air that has passed through the rotary tank 5 and the water tank 3 and has exited the exhaust port 16 is indicated by an arrow. As shown in d, the exhaust duct is led out from the exhaust duct inlet 24 to the exhaust duct outlet 23.

図1に示すように水槽3の背面下部には、ヒートポンプ装置を構成する吸熱器30及び放熱器32を収容する熱交換風路31が設けられている。吸熱器30及び放熱器32はヒートポンプ装置の冷媒と乾燥用空気とで熱交換を行うフィン&チューブ型の熱交換器からなり、それぞれの通風面30aと32aを対向させるとともに鉛直方向に対して傾け、吸熱器30が放熱器32より上方になるように配置している。   As shown in FIG. 1, a heat exchange air passage 31 that houses a heat absorber 30 and a heat radiator 32 constituting a heat pump device is provided at the lower back of the water tank 3. The heat absorber 30 and the heat radiator 32 are fin-and-tube heat exchangers that exchange heat between the refrigerant of the heat pump device and the drying air, with the ventilation surfaces 30a and 32a facing each other and inclined with respect to the vertical direction. The heat absorber 30 is disposed above the heat radiator 32.

熱交換風路31は、送風機12により送風される空気を吸熱器30から放熱器32へと上方から下方へ斜め方向に流れるように形成したものであり、水槽3の背面下部に水槽3の背面と同方向に傾斜させて風路を形成している。吸熱器30の下部には、吸熱器30で冷却された空気の結露水を貯める貯水室36が設けられている。   The heat exchange air passage 31 is formed so that the air blown by the blower 12 flows from the heat absorber 30 to the radiator 32 in an oblique direction from the upper side to the lower side. Inclined in the same direction as the air path. A water storage chamber 36 for storing condensed water of air cooled by the heat absorber 30 is provided below the heat absorber 30.

貯水室36には遠心ポンプからなる排水ポンプ52が取付けられ、排水ポンプ52の出口はポンプ排水管53を介して溢水口50の上方で水槽3と接続している。これにより貯水室36に貯まった結露水は機外へ排出され、しかも水槽3に所定量以上の水が供給された場合でも洗濯水が貯水室36に逆流することがなく、また、ポンプ排水管53内に洗濯水が浸入することがないので、ポンプ排水管53内に洗濯水中の汚れが付着することもない。   A drainage pump 52 comprising a centrifugal pump is attached to the water storage chamber 36, and the outlet of the drainage pump 52 is connected to the water tank 3 via the pump drainage pipe 53 above the overflow port 50. As a result, the dew condensation water stored in the water storage chamber 36 is discharged outside the apparatus, and even when a predetermined amount or more of water is supplied to the water tank 3, the washing water does not flow back into the water storage chamber 36, and the pump drain pipe Since the washing water does not enter 53, dirt in the washing water does not adhere to the pump drain pipe 53.

また、貯水室36の貯水容量はポンプ排水管53の内容量より大きくしているので、排水ポンプ52が排水後に停止してポンプ排水管53内の水が逆流しても貯水室36が溢れることはない。   Further, since the water storage capacity of the water storage chamber 36 is larger than the internal capacity of the pump drain pipe 53, the water storage chamber 36 overflows even if the drain pump 52 stops after draining and the water in the pump drain pipe 53 flows backward. There is no.

上記のように吸熱器30、放熱器32及び貯水室36を配置することにより、吸熱器30及び放熱器32を前後方向にコンパクトに構成することができ、熱交換風路31を空気が矢印aの方向に直線的に流れるだけの簡単な構成とすることができる。このため、吸熱器30、放熱器32及び貯水室36を筐体1内の空きスペースとなる水槽3の背面下部にコンパクトに収容することができる。また、熱交換風路31内において空気を吸熱器30及び放熱器32に対して垂直に流すことができるため、効率良く熱交換を行うことができる構成となっている。   By arranging the heat absorber 30, the heat radiator 32, and the water storage chamber 36 as described above, the heat absorber 30 and the heat radiator 32 can be configured in a compact manner in the front-rear direction. It can be set as the simple structure which only flows linearly in the direction. For this reason, the heat absorber 30, the heat radiator 32, and the water storage chamber 36 can be accommodated compactly in the lower back part of the water tank 3 that is an empty space in the housing 1. In addition, since air can flow perpendicularly to the heat absorber 30 and the radiator 32 in the heat exchange air passage 31, the heat exchange can be performed efficiently.

図2に示すように水槽3の背面下部には、ヒートポンプ装置を構成する圧縮機41が筐体1に対して左右方向に熱交換風路31と並べて配設されている。圧縮機容器45は圧縮機41を収容するケースである。熱交換風路31と圧縮機容器45は一体に形成され、内部に吸熱器30、放熱器32、圧縮機41、絞り手段42及び管路43を収容することにより、一体化したヒートポンプユニット46を構成している。   As shown in FIG. 2, a compressor 41 constituting a heat pump device is arranged at the lower back of the water tank 3 along with the heat exchange air passage 31 in the left-right direction with respect to the housing 1. The compressor container 45 is a case that houses the compressor 41. The heat exchange air passage 31 and the compressor container 45 are integrally formed, and the heat sink 30, the radiator 32, the compressor 41, the throttle means 42, and the pipe line 43 are accommodated in the heat exchange air passage 31 and the compressor container 45. It is composed.

ヒートポンプユニット46は筐体1の背面から着脱可能に取付けられており、その側面には前述した送風機12が筐体1に対して左右方向に熱交換風路31及び圧縮機41と並べて取付けられている。送風機12の吸込み口は圧縮機容器45内に開口している。熱交換風路31と圧縮機容器45の間には隔壁47があるが、隔壁47に設けられた穴(図示せず)を介して、吸熱器30及び放熱器32を流れてきた空気は圧縮機容器45内を通過して、送風機12の吸込み口へと至るように構成されている。   The heat pump unit 46 is detachably attached from the back surface of the housing 1, and the blower 12 described above is attached to the side surface of the housing 1 side by side with the heat exchange air passage 31 and the compressor 41 in the left-right direction. Yes. A suction port of the blower 12 is opened in the compressor container 45. There is a partition wall 47 between the heat exchange air passage 31 and the compressor container 45, but the air flowing through the heat absorber 30 and the radiator 32 is compressed through a hole (not shown) provided in the partition wall 47. It passes through the machine container 45 and is configured to reach the suction port of the blower 12.

上記のように圧縮機41及び送風機12を配置することにより、ヒートポンプ装置及び送風機12を筐体1内の空きスペースとなる水槽3の背面下部にコンパクトに収容することができる。また、製造工程においてヒートポンプユニット46を洗濯乾燥機本体とは別のラインで組み立てることができるので、生産効率が向上し、万一ヒートポンプ装置が故障した場合でも、ヒートポンプユニットを筐体1の背面から取り出すことで、部品の修理や交換を容易に行うことができる。また、送風機12がヒートポンプユニットに取付けられているので、ヒートポンプ装置を洗濯乾燥機本体とは別に運転することができ、製造工程においてヒートポンプ装置の品質管理を容易に行うことができる。   By arranging the compressor 41 and the blower 12 as described above, the heat pump device and the blower 12 can be compactly accommodated in the lower part of the back surface of the water tank 3 serving as an empty space in the housing 1. Further, since the heat pump unit 46 can be assembled in a separate line from the washing / drying machine main body in the manufacturing process, the production efficiency is improved, and even if the heat pump device breaks down, the heat pump unit can be removed from the rear surface of the housing 1. By taking out, it is possible to easily repair or replace the parts. Moreover, since the air blower 12 is attached to the heat pump unit, the heat pump device can be operated separately from the washing / drying machine main body, and the quality control of the heat pump device can be easily performed in the manufacturing process.

送風機12で送風される乾燥用空気は、図3の矢印40に示すように、給気ダクト20を通り給気口14から水槽3及び回転槽5内に入り、回転槽5内の衣類4を通過した後、排気口16から出て、排気ダクト22を通って熱交換風路31内の吸熱器30及び放熱器32を通過し、圧縮機容器45内を通過して送風機12へ戻り、循環するようになっている。   As shown by an arrow 40 in FIG. 3, the drying air blown by the blower 12 passes through the air supply duct 20 and enters the water tank 3 and the rotary tank 5 from the air supply port 14, and the clothes 4 in the rotary tank 5 are moved. After passing through, exits from the exhaust port 16, passes through the exhaust duct 22, passes through the heat absorber 30 and the radiator 32 in the heat exchange air passage 31, passes through the compressor container 45, returns to the blower 12, and circulates It is supposed to be.

送風機12と給気ダクト入口21とは、蛇腹状の伸縮可能な可撓性材料からなる給気口ホース33を介して連通し、排気口16と排気ダクト入口24も同様に、蛇腹状の伸縮可能な可撓性材料からなる排気口ホース34を介して連通しており、水槽3の振動がヒートポンプユニット46へと伝達されることを防いでいる。また、排気ダクト22の途中には、空気中の異物を除去するフィルター手段として合繊ネット等からなるリントフィルター35を着脱可能に設けている。   The blower 12 and the air supply duct inlet 21 communicate with each other via an air supply hose 33 made of a bellows-like stretchable flexible material, and the exhaust port 16 and the exhaust duct inlet 24 similarly have a bellows-like extension / contraction. Communication is made through an exhaust hose 34 made of a flexible material to prevent the vibration of the water tank 3 from being transmitted to the heat pump unit 46. Further, a lint filter 35 made of a synthetic fiber net or the like is detachably provided as a filter means for removing foreign substances in the air in the middle of the exhaust duct 22.

また、ヒートポンプ装置は、圧縮機41、および圧縮された冷媒の熱を放熱する放熱器32、および高圧の冷媒の圧力を減圧するための絞り弁や毛細管等からなる絞り手段42、および減圧されて低圧となった冷媒が周囲から熱を奪う吸熱器30とを冷媒が循環するように管路43で連結されており、冷媒は図3の矢印44の方向に流れて循環し、ヒートポンプサイクルを実現する。   In addition, the heat pump device includes a compressor 41, a radiator 32 that radiates heat of the compressed refrigerant, a throttle means 42 that includes a throttle valve, a capillary tube, and the like for reducing the pressure of the high-pressure refrigerant, and a reduced pressure. The refrigerant that has become low pressure is connected to the heat absorber 30 that draws heat from the surroundings through a conduit 43 so that the refrigerant circulates, and the refrigerant flows and circulates in the direction of the arrow 44 in FIG. 3 to realize a heat pump cycle. To do.

また、制御手段48は駆動モータ6や排水弁10、送風機12及び圧縮機41等を駆動して洗濯、脱水、乾燥工程を制御する。   The control means 48 controls the washing, dehydration and drying processes by driving the drive motor 6, the drain valve 10, the blower 12, the compressor 41, and the like.

以上のような構成において、次に、この動作について説明する。洗濯工程では、排水弁10を閉じた状態で水槽3内に所定の水位に達するまで給水を行い、駆動モータ6により衣類4と洗浄水の入った回転槽5を回転させて衣類4の洗濯を行う。   Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. In the washing process, water is supplied until the water level reaches a predetermined water level in the water tank 3 with the drain valve 10 closed, and the clothes 4 and the rotary tank 5 containing the washing water are rotated by the drive motor 6 to wash the clothes 4. Do.

また、洗濯後の濯ぎ工程でも、洗濯工程と同様に水槽3内に給水を行い、回転槽5を回転させて衣類4の濯ぎを行う。脱水工程では、排水弁10を開いて機外へ水を排水した後、駆動モータ6により衣類4の入った回転槽5を高速回転して脱水する。   In the rinsing process after washing, water is supplied into the water tank 3 as in the washing process, and the clothes 4 are rinsed by rotating the rotating tub 5. In the dehydration step, the drain valve 10 is opened to drain water to the outside of the machine, and then the rotating tub 5 containing the clothing 4 is rotated at high speed by the drive motor 6 to dehydrate.

乾燥工程では、ヒートポンプ装置の圧縮機41を作動させると、冷媒が圧縮され、この圧力により放熱器32、絞り手段42、吸熱器30を循環する。放熱器32では冷媒の圧縮で熱が放出され、吸熱器30では絞り手段42で減圧されて低圧となった冷媒により熱が吸収される。このとき送風機12が作動し、放熱器32の放熱により加熱された温風が給気ダクト20を通って給気口14から水槽3及び回転槽5内に送風される。回転槽5は駆動モータ6により回転駆動され衣類4は上下に撹拌される。   In the drying process, when the compressor 41 of the heat pump device is operated, the refrigerant is compressed, and the pressure circulates through the radiator 32, the throttle means 42, and the heat absorber 30. In the radiator 32, heat is released by the compression of the refrigerant, and in the heat absorber 30, the heat is absorbed by the refrigerant that has been depressurized by the throttle means 42 to become a low pressure. At this time, the blower 12 is activated, and warm air heated by the heat radiation of the radiator 32 passes through the air supply duct 20 and is blown into the water tank 3 and the rotary tank 5 from the air supply port 14. The rotating tub 5 is rotationally driven by a drive motor 6 and the clothes 4 are stirred up and down.

回転槽5内に送風された温風は、この衣類4の隙間を通るときに水分を奪い、湿った状態で水槽3の排気口16を経て排気ダクト22を通り、リントフィルター35を通過してリント等の異物が除去され、熱交換風路31に至る。この湿った温風は、吸熱器30を通過する際に顕熱と潜熱が奪われて除湿され、乾いた空気と除湿水に分離される。この乾いた空気は、放熱器32で再び加熱され温風となって圧縮機容器45を通過して送風機12へと循環する。   The warm air blown into the rotating tub 5 deprives moisture when passing through the gap between the clothes 4, passes through the exhaust duct 22 through the exhaust port 16 of the water tub 3 and passes through the lint filter 35 in a wet state. Foreign matter such as lint is removed and the heat exchange air passage 31 is reached. When the wet warm air passes through the heat absorber 30, sensible heat and latent heat are taken away and dehumidified, and separated into dry air and dehumidified water. This dry air is heated again by the radiator 32 and becomes hot air, passes through the compressor container 45 and circulates to the blower 12.

吸熱器30で結露した除湿水は、貯水室36に貯まる。ここに貯まった水は一定時間毎に排水ポンプ52を動作させることによりポンプ配水管53を介して水槽3内に入り排水口9、排水弁10を通って排水ホース11から機外へ排出される。   The dehumidified water dewed by the heat absorber 30 is stored in the water storage chamber 36. The water stored here enters the water tank 3 through the pump water distribution pipe 53 by operating the drain pump 52 at regular intervals, and is discharged from the drain hose 11 through the drain port 9 and the drain valve 10 to the outside of the machine. .

このようにヒートポンプ装置を用いることにより、吸熱器30で吸熱した熱を冷媒で回収して再び放熱器32で放熱して、圧縮機41に入力したエネルギー以上の熱量を衣類4に与えることができるので、乾燥時間の短縮と省エネを実現することが可能になる。   By using the heat pump device in this way, the heat absorbed by the heat absorber 30 can be recovered by the refrigerant and radiated again by the heat radiator 32 to give the garment 4 more heat than the energy input to the compressor 41. Therefore, it becomes possible to shorten the drying time and realize energy saving.

以上のように、熱交換風路31内において吸熱器30および放熱器32の通風面30aと32aとを対向させるとともに吸熱器30を放熱器32より上方に配置し、吸熱器30の下部に貯水室36を設けることにより、吸熱器30および放熱器32と貯水室36をコンパクトに配置することができる。また、熱交換風路31は乾燥用空気が上方から下方へ斜め方向に流れるように形成することにより風路構成が単純になるため、筐体1内の空きスペースとなる水槽3の背面下部にこれら構成部品をコンパクトに収容することができる。   As described above, the heat sink 30 and the ventilation surfaces 30a and 32a of the radiator 32 are opposed to each other in the heat exchange air passage 31, and the heat absorber 30 is disposed above the radiator 32, and water is stored in the lower portion of the heat absorber 30. By providing the chamber 36, the heat absorber 30, the radiator 32, and the water storage chamber 36 can be arranged in a compact manner. Further, the heat exchange air passage 31 is formed so that the drying air flows in an oblique direction from the upper side to the lower side, so that the air passage configuration is simplified. These components can be accommodated in a compact manner.

また、熱交換風路31を筐体1に対して傾斜して設け、吸熱器30及び放熱器32を熱交換風路31に対して垂直に配設したので、水槽3と筐体1の背面及び下面との隙間から構成される空きスペースを有効利用して吸熱器30、放熱器32及び熱交換風路31を配置することができ、かつ吸熱器30及び放熱器32に対して乾燥用空気を垂直に流すことができるため、熱交換効率を向上させることができる。   Further, since the heat exchange air passage 31 is provided to be inclined with respect to the housing 1 and the heat absorber 30 and the radiator 32 are disposed perpendicular to the heat exchange air passage 31, the water tank 3 and the rear surface of the housing 1 are disposed. Further, the heat absorber 30, the heat radiator 32, and the heat exchange air passage 31 can be arranged by effectively utilizing the empty space constituted by the gap with the lower surface, and the drying air is provided to the heat absorber 30 and the heat radiator 32. Can be made to flow vertically, so that the heat exchange efficiency can be improved.

なお、本実施の形態では洗濯から乾燥までを自動で行える洗濯乾燥機にヒートポンプ装置を搭載した構成としているが、乾燥のみの衣類乾燥機にヒートポンプ装置を搭載した構成であっても、同様の効果が得られる。   In the present embodiment, the heat pump device is installed in a washing and drying machine that can automatically perform from washing to drying, but the same effect can be obtained even in a configuration in which a heat pump device is installed in a clothes dryer only for drying. Is obtained.

本実施の形態は、排水ポンプ52の出口と接続したポンプ排水管53は、溢水口50の高さhより上方に一旦上げたのち水槽3の排水口9に接続したものであり、水槽3に所定量以上の水が供給された場合でも洗濯水が貯水室36に逆流することがない構成が容易に実現できる。   In this embodiment, the pump drain pipe 53 connected to the outlet of the drain pump 52 is once raised above the height h of the overflow port 50 and then connected to the drain port 9 of the water tank 3. Even when a predetermined amount or more of water is supplied, a configuration in which the washing water does not flow back into the water storage chamber 36 can be easily realized.

また、送風機12を乾燥室である回転槽5と熱交換風路31とを接続する通風路の吸熱器30の上流側に配置したものであり、乾燥運転時には送風機12が作動することにより熱交換風路31の内圧が上昇するので貯水室36内の水をスムーズに排出できるものである。他の構成は、実施の形態1と同じである。   In addition, the blower 12 is arranged upstream of the heat absorber 30 of the ventilation passage connecting the rotary tank 5 serving as a drying chamber and the heat exchange air passage 31, and heat exchange is performed by operating the blower 12 during the drying operation. Since the internal pressure of the air passage 31 increases, the water in the water storage chamber 36 can be discharged smoothly. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

本実施の形態の貯水室36内には複数の検知電極54が取付けられ、リード線55によって制御手段48と接続している。制御手段48は検知電極54間の電気抵抗を監視しており、貯水室36の水位が上昇すると検知電極54が水と接触して検知電極54間の電気抵抗が変化するのでこれを検知することができる。   A plurality of detection electrodes 54 are attached in the water storage chamber 36 of the present embodiment, and are connected to the control means 48 by lead wires 55. The control means 48 monitors the electrical resistance between the detection electrodes 54, and when the water level in the water storage chamber 36 rises, the detection electrode 54 comes into contact with water and the electrical resistance between the detection electrodes 54 changes, and this is detected. Can do.

したがって、排水ポンプ52を動作させているにもかかわらず、貯水室36の水位が上昇した場合には、制御手段48は異常が発生したと判断して圧縮機41と送風機12を停止させることにより貯水室36の水が溢れることを防止できるものである。   Accordingly, when the water level in the water storage chamber 36 rises despite the drain pump 52 being operated, the control means 48 determines that an abnormality has occurred and stops the compressor 41 and the blower 12 by stopping the compressor 41 and the blower 12. It is possible to prevent the water in the water storage chamber 36 from overflowing.
