Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、衣類を乾燥する衣類乾燥機に関し、特に乾燥用空気の熱を蓄熱する蓄熱手段を有する衣類乾燥機に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の衣類乾燥機は、衣類が収納された乾燥庫にヒータにより加熱された乾燥用空気が供給され、乾燥用空気が衣類の水分を奪って排気される。排気された乾燥用空気は熱交換器等の除湿器により冷却して除湿した後、ヒータによって加熱される。これにより、乾燥用空気が循環して衣類の乾燥が行われる。
【0003】
特許文献1にはヒータと除湿手段との間に蓄熱材を設けた衣類乾燥機が開示されている。この衣類乾燥機は空冷により除湿された乾燥用空気の熱を蓄熱材により蓄熱し、蓄熱材に熱が溜まるとヒータを停止して蓄熱材の放熱により乾燥用空気を昇温する。これにより、廃熱を再利用して省エネルギー化を図ることができるようになっている。
【0004】
【特許文献1】
特開昭60−41989号公報(第1頁−第2頁、第2図)
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記特許文献1に開示された衣類乾燥機によると、除湿手段が冷凍サイクルの運転による熱交換や水冷によって乾燥用空気を冷却する場合には、除湿後の乾燥用空気が低温になりすぎて蓄熱材の蓄熱量が少なくなる。このため、廃熱を充分再利用することができず、省エネルギー化を図ることができない問題があった。
【0006】
本発明は、省エネルギー化を図ることのできる衣類乾燥機を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために本発明は、衣類を収容する乾燥庫に乾燥用空気を循環して衣類を乾燥する衣類乾燥機において、前記乾燥庫から排気される乾燥用空気を冷却して除湿する除湿手段と、前記乾燥庫に給気される乾燥用空気を加熱する加熱手段と、前記除湿手段と前記加熱手段との間に配されて乾燥用空気の熱を蓄熱する蓄熱手段と、前記除湿手段を制御する制御手段と、前記乾燥庫から排気される乾燥用空気の温度を検知する温度センサと、を備え、前記制御手段は、前記乾燥庫から排気される乾燥用空気の温度が、前記蓄熱手段の相変化温度よりも高い第1の温度を超えると前記除湿手段を駆動させ、前記乾燥庫から排気される乾燥用空気の温度が前記蓄熱手段の相変化温度よりも低い第2の温度より低下すると前記除湿手段を停止させることを特徴としている。
又、前記制御手段は、前記乾燥庫から排気される乾燥用空気の温度が前記蓄熱手段の相変化温度を超えると前記除湿手段を駆動させ、前記乾燥庫から排気される乾燥用空気の温度が前記蓄熱手段の相変化温度より低下すると前記除湿手段を停止させることを特徴としている。
【0008】
この構成によると、加熱手段により加熱された乾燥用空気は乾燥庫内に供給され、衣類の水分を含んで排気される。除湿手段は断続的に駆動され、除湿手段の停止時には乾燥庫から排気された乾燥用空気は蓄熱手段により潜熱を奪われて冷却され、除湿される。蓄熱手段が相変化温度を超えると、除湿手段が駆動される。除湿手段により除湿された乾燥用空気は蓄熱手段から潜熱を受け取って加熱され、加熱手段により更に加熱された後乾燥庫内に供給される。
【0009】
燥庫の排気温度を検出して排気温度が蓄熱手段の相変化温度を超えると除湿手段を駆動させ該相変化温度よりも低いときに除湿手段を停止させると蓄熱手段による蓄熱及び放熱を効率良く行うことができる。また、蓄熱手段の相変化温度を50℃〜70℃にすると、衣類の損傷を防止するとともに除湿手段による無駄な冷却を省くことができ、相変化温度を55℃〜65℃にするのが望ましい。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明の実施形態を図面を参照して説明する。図1は一実施形態の衣類乾燥機の構成を示す概略正面断面図である。衣類乾燥機1内には有底筒状の水槽2が横設され、水槽2内には同軸にドラム(乾燥庫)3が回転自在に配されている。ドラム3は周面に小孔(不図示)を有して水槽2内と連通し、洗濯物を収容してモータ(不図示)により回転駆動されるようになっている。
【0011】
水槽2の上方には衣類乾燥機1の各部の駆動を制御する制御部11が設けられる。水槽2の上部及び側部には給気口2a、排気口2bが設けられ、循環経路15により連通している。循環経路15には排気ダクト8、熱交換器4、蓄熱部12、送風機5、ヒータ6、給気ダクト9が設けられ、送風機5の駆動により矢印Bに示すように乾燥用空気が循環するようになっている。
【0012】
排気ダクト8内の上部には水槽2から排気される乾燥用空気の温度を検知温度センサ10が設けられ、検知結果を制御部11に送信する。熱交換器4は給水弁7を介して市水が供給され、乾燥用空気を水冷して凝縮する。蓄熱部12は約60℃で相変化するポリエチレングリコール等の蓄熱材13を保持し、蓄熱材13が相変化する際に熱を蓄放熱する。
【0013】
送風機5の後段に配されるヒータ6は乾燥用空気を加熱して昇温する。また、水槽2の下部には排水管14が設けられ、矢印Aに示すように排気ダクト8を介して水槽2に流入する熱交換器4の冷却水や乾燥用空気の凝縮水を排水する。
【0014】
上記構成の衣類乾燥機1において、乾燥運転が開始されると制御部11により図2のフローチャートに示す動作が行われる。ステップ#11ではヒータ6及び送風機5がONされる。尚、給水弁7は閉じられた状態である。給気口2aから水槽2内に供給された乾燥用空気はドラム3内の衣類に含まれた水分を蒸発して排気口2bから循環経路15に流入する。
【0015】
乾燥用空気は熱交換器4を通過して蓄熱部12で熱交換される。蓄熱部12では蓄熱材13の相変化により乾燥用空気が熱を奪われるため冷却され、蓄熱材13に熱が蓄熱される。その結果、乾燥用空気は水分が凝縮して除湿され、凝縮水が排水管14から排水される。
【0016】
除湿された乾燥用空気はヒータ6により昇温されて水槽2内に供給される。これにより、乾燥用空気が循環し、蓄熱材13の蓄熱量に応じて徐々に温度が上昇する。この時、蓄熱材13の温度上昇によって除湿量が低下するが、乾燥用空気の飽和水蒸気量が増加するため蒸発速度は殆ど低下しない。
【0017】
ステップ#12では温度センサ10により水槽2の排気温度が70℃を超えたか否かが監視される。排気温度が70℃を超えると蓄熱材13はほぼ全て相変化して蓄熱が飽和状態になるため乾燥用空気の冷却能力が低下する。このため、ステップ#13に移行して給水弁7が開かれ、熱交換器4により乾燥用空気が水冷して除湿される。給水弁7の給水及び除湿による凝縮水は排水管14を介して排水される。
【0018】
水冷により低温となった乾燥用空気は蓄熱部12で蓄熱材13と熱交換する。蓄熱材13は相変化して熱を放出し、乾燥用空気は熱を受け取って昇温される。また、ヒータにより更に昇温して水槽2内に供給される。乾燥用空気は熱交換器4によって低温で除湿されるため、除湿量が増加する。このため、水分の蒸発により水槽2の排気温度が徐々に低下する。
【0019】
ステップ#14、#15では水槽2の排気温度が55℃よりも低温になったか否かが監視されるとともに、乾燥が終了したか否かが監視される。排気温度が55℃よりも低温になると、蓄熱材13による蓄熱を行うためにステップ#17に移行し、給水弁7が閉じられてステップ#12に戻る。
【0020】
熱交換器4に給水中に衣類が乾燥すると、衣類に含まれた水分の蒸発量が少なくなるため排気温度が55℃よりも低下しなくなる。従って、所定時間の経過や水槽2から排気される乾燥用空気の温湿度等によって乾燥が終了したと判断した場合はステップ#16に移行する。ステップ#16ではヒータ6及び送風機5が停止され給水弁7が閉じらる。これにより、衣類乾燥機1の運転が終了する。
【0021】
本実施形態によると、除湿手段である熱交換器4の給水を断続的に行うため節水できるとともに、蓄熱された蓄熱材13の放熱によって乾燥用空気を昇温するため乾燥時間を短縮して省エネルギー化を図ることができる。
【0022】
尚、給水弁7の切り替えを水槽2の排気温度に基づいて行っているが、衣類乾燥機1の運転時間等により切り替えを行ってもよい。また、排気温度が55℃及び70℃の時に給水弁7の開閉を行っているが、蓄熱材13の相変化温度に応じて最適な温度を設定することができる。
【0023】
蓄熱材13の相変化温度は70℃を超えると給水弁7を閉じた際の乾燥用空気の温度が高くなるため衣類を損傷する場合がある。また、50℃よりも低いと排気が降温されにくく給水を長時間行う必要があり節水効果が低減される。このため、相変化温度が50℃〜70℃の蓄熱材13を用いるのが望ましく、55℃〜65℃の蓄熱材を用いるとより望ましい。
【0024】
また、本実施形態は水冷により乾燥用空気を冷却して除湿しているが、冷凍サイクルによる冷却や、水冷と空冷とを併用する冷却を行う場合においても同様の効果を得ることができる。
【0025】
【発明の効果】
本発明によると、除湿手段を断続的に駆動するため蓄熱された蓄熱手段の放熱によって乾燥用空気を昇温し、乾燥時間を短縮して省エネルギー化を図ることができる。また、水冷式の除湿手段を断続的に駆動するため節水することができる。
【0026】
また、本発明によると、除湿手段の駆動を乾燥庫の排気温度に基づいて行っているため、蓄熱手段の相変化温度に応じた制御を行うことができる。蓄熱手段の相変化温度を50℃〜70℃にすると、衣類の損傷を防止するとともに節水効果の低下を防止することができる。

This clothes dryer stores the heat of the drying air dehumidified by air cooling by the heat storage material, and when the heat is stored in the heat storage material, the heater is stopped and the temperature of the drying air is raised by the heat dissipation of the heat storage material. This makes it possible to save energy by reusing waste heat.
[0004]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 60-41989 (1st page-2nd page, Fig. 2)
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, according to the clothes dryer disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the dehumidifying means cools the drying air by heat exchange or water cooling by the operation of the refrigeration cycle, the drying air after dehumidification becomes too low. This reduces the amount of heat stored in the heat storage material. For this reason, there was a problem that waste heat could not be sufficiently reused and energy saving could not be achieved.
[0006]
It is an object of the present invention to provide a clothes dryer that can save energy.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
To achieve the above object, the present invention cools and dehumidifies the drying air exhausted from the drying cabinet in a clothing dryer for drying the clothing by circulating the drying air to the drying cabinet containing the clothing. a dehumidifying means, said drying chamber and heating means for heating the drying air to be air supply to, and arranged that by heat蓄release heat heat storage means of the drying air between the heating unit and the dehumidifying unit, Control means for controlling the dehumidifying means, and a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the drying air exhausted from the drying cabinet , wherein the control means has a temperature of the drying air exhausted from the drying cabinet. When the first temperature higher than the phase change temperature of the heat storage means is exceeded, the dehumidification means is driven, and the temperature of the drying air exhausted from the drying chamber is lower than the phase change temperature of the heat storage means. When the temperature falls below the temperature of It is characterized by causing locked.
The control means drives the dehumidifying means when the temperature of the drying air exhausted from the drying cabinet exceeds the phase change temperature of the heat storage means, and the temperature of the drying air exhausted from the drying cabinet is The dehumidifying means is stopped when the temperature drops below the phase change temperature of the heat storage means.
[0008]
According to this configuration, the drying air heated by the heating means is supplied into the drying cabinet and exhausted including moisture from the clothes. The dehumidifying means is driven intermittently, and when the dehumidifying means is stopped, the drying air exhausted from the drying chamber is cooled by depriving of latent heat by the heat storage means. When the heat storage means exceeds the phase change temperature, the dehumidification means is driven. The drying air dehumidified by the dehumidifying means is heated by receiving latent heat from the heat storage means, and is further heated by the heating means and then supplied into the drying chamber.
[0009]
When detecting an exhaust temperature of the exhaust temperature of the dry燥庫is Ru stops the dehumidification means when lower than the phase change temperature by driving the dehumidifying means exceeds a phase change temperature of the heat storage means, heat storage and heat release by heat storage means Can be performed efficiently. Further, if the phase change temperature of the heat storage means is 50 ° C. to 70 ° C., it is possible to prevent clothing from being damaged and eliminate unnecessary cooling by the dehumidifying means, and the phase change temperature is preferably 55 ° C. to 65 ° C. .
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic front sectional view showing a configuration of a clothes dryer according to an embodiment. A bottomed cylindrical water tank 2 is installed horizontally in the clothes dryer 1, and a drum (dryer) 3 is coaxially arranged in the water tank 2 so as to be rotatable. The drum 3 has a small hole (not shown) on its peripheral surface, communicates with the inside of the water tub 2, accommodates laundry, and is rotated by a motor (not shown).
[0011]
Above the water tank 2, a control unit 11 that controls driving of each part of the clothes dryer 1 is provided. An air supply port 2 a and an exhaust port 2 b are provided at the upper and side portions of the water tank 2, and communicate with each other through a circulation path 15. An exhaust duct 8, a heat exchanger 4, a heat storage unit 12, a blower 5, a heater 6, and an air supply duct 9 are provided in the circulation path 15 so that the drying air circulates as indicated by an arrow B by driving the blower 5. It has become.
[0012]
A temperature sensor 10 for detecting the temperature of the drying air exhausted from the water tank 2 is provided in the upper part of the exhaust duct 8, and the detection result is transmitted to the control unit 11. The heat exchanger 4 is supplied with city water via a water supply valve 7, and cools and condenses the drying air. The heat storage unit 12 holds a heat storage material 13 such as polyethylene glycol that changes phase at about 60 ° C., and stores and releases heat when the heat storage material 13 changes phase.
[0013]
A heater 6 disposed in the rear stage of the blower 5 heats the drying air to raise the temperature. Further, a drain pipe 14 is provided in the lower part of the water tank 2, and the cooling water of the heat exchanger 4 flowing into the water tank 2 and the condensed water of the drying air are drained through the exhaust duct 8 as indicated by an arrow A.
[0014]
In the clothes dryer 1 having the above-described configuration, when the drying operation is started, the operation shown in the flowchart of FIG. In step # 11, the heater 6 and the blower 5 are turned on. The water supply valve 7 is in a closed state. The drying air supplied from the air supply port 2a into the water tank 2 evaporates the moisture contained in the clothes in the drum 3 and flows into the circulation path 15 from the exhaust port 2b.
[0015]
The drying air passes through the heat exchanger 4 and is heat-exchanged in the heat storage unit 12. In the heat storage section 12, the drying air is deprived of heat due to the phase change of the heat storage material 13, so that the heat is stored in the heat storage material 13. As a result, the drying air is dehumidified by condensation of moisture, and the condensed water is drained from the drain pipe 14.
[0016]
The dehumidified drying air is heated by the heater 6 and supplied into the water tank 2. Thereby, drying air circulates and the temperature gradually rises according to the heat storage amount of the heat storage material 13. At this time, although the dehumidification amount decreases due to the temperature rise of the heat storage material 13, the evaporation rate hardly decreases because the saturated water vapor amount of the drying air increases.
[0017]
In step # 12, the temperature sensor 10 monitors whether the exhaust temperature of the water tank 2 has exceeded 70 ° C. When the exhaust temperature exceeds 70 ° C., almost all of the heat storage material 13 undergoes a phase change, and the heat storage becomes saturated, so that the cooling capacity of the drying air decreases. For this reason, it transfers to step # 13, the water supply valve 7 is opened, and the air for drying is water-cooled by the heat exchanger 4, and is dehumidified. Condensed water due to water supply and dehumidification of the water supply valve 7 is drained through a drain pipe 14.
[0018]
The drying air that has become low temperature due to water cooling exchanges heat with the heat storage material 13 in the heat storage section 12. The heat storage material 13 changes its phase and releases heat, and the drying air receives the heat and is heated. Further, the temperature is further increased by the heater 6 and supplied to the water tank 2. Since the drying air is dehumidified at a low temperature by the heat exchanger 4, the amount of dehumidification increases. For this reason, the exhaust temperature of the water tank 2 gradually decreases due to evaporation of moisture.
[0019]
In steps # 14 and # 15, it is monitored whether or not the exhaust temperature of the water tank 2 has become lower than 55 ° C., and whether or not the drying is completed. When the exhaust gas temperature is lower than 55 ° C., the process proceeds to step # 17 to store heat by the heat storage material 13, the water supply valve 7 is closed, and the process returns to step # 12.
[0020]
When the clothes are dried in the water supply to the heat exchanger 4, the amount of water contained in the clothes is reduced, so that the exhaust temperature does not drop below 55 ° C. Therefore, if it is determined that the drying is completed due to the passage of a predetermined time or the temperature and humidity of the drying air exhausted from the water tank 2, the process proceeds to step # 16. In step # 16, the heater 6 and the blower 5 are stopped, and the water supply valve 7 is closed. Thereby, the operation of the clothes dryer 1 ends.
[0021]
According to this embodiment, water can be saved because the water supply of the heat exchanger 4 that is a dehumidifying means is intermittently performed, and the drying air is heated by the heat radiation of the heat storage material 13 that is stored, thereby shortening the drying time and saving energy. Can be achieved.
[0022]
In addition, although the switching of the water supply valve 7 is performed based on the exhaust temperature of the water tank 2, the switching may be performed according to the operation time of the clothes dryer 1 or the like. Further, although the water supply valve 7 is opened and closed when the exhaust gas temperature is 55 ° C. and 70 ° C., an optimum temperature can be set according to the phase change temperature of the heat storage material 13.
[0023]
If the phase change temperature of the heat storage material 13 exceeds 70 ° C., the temperature of the drying air when the water supply valve 7 is closed becomes high, which may damage the clothing. On the other hand, when the temperature is lower than 50 ° C., it is difficult to lower the temperature of the exhaust gas, and it is necessary to supply water for a long time. For this reason, it is desirable to use the heat storage material 13 whose phase change temperature is 50 to 70 degreeC, and it is more desirable to use the heat storage material of 55 to 65 degreeC.
[0024]
Moreover, although this embodiment cools and dehumidifies drying air by water cooling, the same effect can be acquired also when performing cooling by a refrigerating cycle or cooling using both water cooling and air cooling.
[0025]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, it is possible to increase the temperature of the drying air by radiating heat of the heat storage means that is stored in order to drive the dehumidification means intermittently, thereby shortening the drying time and saving energy. Further, the water-cooled dehumidifying means can be driven intermittently to save water.
[0026]
Further, according to the present invention, since the dehumidifying means is driven based on the exhaust temperature of the drying cabinet, control according to the phase change temperature of the heat storage means can be performed. When the phase change temperature of the heat storage means is set to 50 ° C. to 70 ° C., it is possible to prevent clothing from being damaged and a reduction in the water-saving effect.
