If the end of regeneration of the desiccant 15 is detected during the cleaning operation or the rinsing operation, the heating by the desiccant regeneration heater 14, the blowing by the circulation fan 17 and the dehumidification of the cooling dehumidifying chamber 24 are stopped. Then, at the time of proceeding to the dehydration operation, preheating of the drying path and heat storage of the desiccant 15 are performed by heating by the regeneration heater 14 and blowing by the circulation blower fan 17. If the end of regeneration of the absorbent 15 is detected during the dehydration operation, the dehumidification by the cooling / dehumidification chamber 24 is stopped, and the air is blown by the regeneration heater 14 and the circulation fan 17 to preheat the drying path. The heat of the hygroscopic agent 15 is stored. When the drying process is started, the circulating air is prevented from flowing through the desiccant 15 by the ventilation path switching damper 16, and the circulating air is supplied to the heater 25, the drum 5, and the exhaust port 8 by the rotation of the circulation blowing fan 17. The water is circulated in the path to heat the clothes in the drum 5 and evaporate the moisture. On the other hand, high-humidity circulating air containing steam coming from the exhaust port 8 of the drum 5 enters the cooling / dehumidifying chamber 24 and is cooled by touching the cooling water. The moisture is dehumidified by being discharged out of the main body 1 of the fully automatic washing and drying machine through a drain port 21 provided at a lower portion of the dehumidifying chamber 24. As the cooling water at this time, tap water is used by opening a water supply valve, and circulating air is showered in the cooling and dehumidifying chamber 24 in a shower shape. Next, when the humidity detected by the exhaust humidity sensor 11 becomes larger than the set humidity, and in the embodiment of the present invention, becomes larger than 85%, the circulating air is supplied to the hygroscopic agent 15 by the ventilation path switching damper 16. So that
The high-humidity circulating air that has been cooled and dehumidified is guided to the desiccant 15 through the cooling dehumidification chamber 24 by the duct 27, and the desiccant 15 adsorbs water vapor to be dehumidified. Further, the circulating air is heated by the heat of adsorption generated when the water vapor is adsorbed. Next, the circulating air that has been dehumidified and heated is
8 guides the drum 5 through the clothes drying heater 25. The clothes drying heater 25 is composed of a sheath heater and functions to heat the circulating air again. By repeating the above operation, the clothes in the rotating drum 5 are dried. In the normal operation mode, the humidity detected by the exhaust humidity sensor 11 during the drying process is equal to or less than a set humidity.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the air flow rate becomes 70% or less, the ventilation path switching damper 16 prevents the circulating air from flowing to the desiccant 15 and prevents the circulating air from releasing moisture absorbed when the circulating air has high humidity. If the special operation mode is selected at the start of the operation, the exhaust humidity sensor 11 is used during the drying process.
Even if the humidity detected in the step becomes equal to or lower than the set humidity, the circulating air flows through the desiccant 15 without switching the ventilation path switching damper 16, and the clothes are dried while the desiccant 15 is regenerated. As described above, the fully automatic washing and drying machine of the present invention has the advantages of both taking out the clothes from the front and from the top. In other words, it is located below the tank.
