Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、機外から吸気し、機外へ排気するようにした洗濯機に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、洗濯物の洗濯、すすぎおよび脱水に加え、温風等の送風によって乾燥もできるようにした攪拌式の洗濯乾燥機が供されている。
従来技術による洗濯乾燥機は、機外の空気を吸気し内部のヒータにて加熱した後ファンにて温風を供給する温風供給装置を有し、脱水行程の終了後に洗濯槽の中の洗濯物に前記温風供給装置により温風を吹きつけ、かつ洗濯物を若干攪拌することにより乾燥させるようにしている。その際、湿った洗濯物に接することによって湿気を含んだ洗濯槽内の温風は、洗濯槽内および外箱内上部に滞留しつつ、外箱とトップカバーの隙間、洗濯蓋に設けた手掛部、水槽の周りを通して外箱下面の開口部等から排気することが一般的であった(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。
【0003】
【特許文献1】
特開2000−271377号公報(第3,4頁、図1)
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上記のような乾燥機能を設けた洗濯乾燥機においては、乾燥行程時に洗濯物からの湿気を含んだ温風の排出は、上記隙間等から必ずしも効率良く行われないため洗濯機内部に滞留しやすく、乾燥効率を低下させる要因となっていた。また、カラー鋼板等、板金からなる洗濯機の外郭を構成する外箱の内面に結露を生じ、その結露水が床を濡らす等、不具合を生じさせることもあった。さらに、上記した洗濯蓋の手掛部に排気穴を形成するものにおいては、埃等の侵入を許し易く、美観も損なってしまうばかりでなく、洗濯蓋直上に置かれた物により塞がれてしまうおそれもあった。
【0005】
本発明は、上述の事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、従ってその目的は、スムーズに排気することにより乾燥効率を向上させるとともに、洗濯機内部に結露を生じさせず、洗濯機内部への埃等の侵入を防止しつつ、さらに美観を損ねることのない洗濯機を提供するにある。
【0006】
上記目的を達成するために、本発明の洗濯機は、外箱と、前記外箱内部に収容された水槽と、前記水槽に収容され、洗濯物の洗濯、すすぎ、脱水及び乾燥に供する洗濯槽と、前記外箱上部に設けられ、洗濯物を出し入れする開口部を有したトップカバーと、前記トップカバーの開口部を開閉可能に覆い、周縁にフランジ部が設けられた洗濯蓋とを具備し、前記洗濯蓋は、前記外箱内外を連通して前記洗浄槽内の空気を前記外箱外に排出する通風部を二つ折れ蓋の各側面のフランジ部に有するとともに、前記洗濯蓋の閉塞時において通風部に挟まれる部位のフランジ部が前記トップカバーに対し当接するよう構成したことを特徴とする(請求項1の発明)。
【0007】
このように構成されたものにおいては、洗濯物から水分を奪い、湿った空気は、洗濯蓋のフランジ部に設けられた通風部、即ちトップカバーと洗濯蓋の隙間を通って排気されるため、洗濯機本体内に滞留することがない。従って、洗濯機上面の美観も損なうことなく、乾燥効率を向上させることができる。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に、本発明による洗濯機の一実施例である洗濯乾燥機について図1ないし図3を参照して説明する。まず、図1は、洗濯乾燥機の全体構成を示す縦断側面図で、この図に示すように洗濯乾燥機本体は、四角筒状の金属製の外箱1と、この外箱1の上端開口に装着したトップカバー2とにより洗濯乾燥機本体の外殻を構成し、該外箱1の内部には水槽3を配置している。この水槽3は、外箱1上端から吊り下げた四本(二本のみ図示)の吊り棒4にばね5を介して弾性支持されており、この内部には洗濯槽6を回転可能に内設している。洗濯槽6の内底部には攪拌体7が設けられており、水槽3外底面に取付けられたモータ等から構成される駆動装置8により、回転軸9を介して洗濯槽6と攪拌体7が選択的に回転駆動されるようになっている。
【0009】
前記トップカバー2は、前記洗濯槽6への洗濯物の出し入れが可能な開口部2aを有するとともに、例えば二つ折り構造の洗濯蓋10がその後面に設けられたヒンジ10aにより開閉可能に取付けられている。また、特に図2の斜視図に示すようにトップカバー2の前部上面には、洗濯乾燥機の運転操作をするための操作パネル11を設けており、この操作パネル11の下部内方には制御装置12が配置されている。また、トップカバー2の後部上面には給水手段としての給水弁13や温風供給手段としての温風供給装置14などが配設されていて、着脱自在なバックカバー15によってトップカバー2の後面開口部全体が覆われている。
【0010】
上記温風供給装置14は、全体を吸気口16aと吹出し口16bを有するケーシング16にてユニット化されていて、その内部には送風ファン17とヒータ18が設けられ、一方、前記送風ファン17を駆動するモータ19はケーシング16の外面に取着されていて、回転軸を介して前記送風ファン17と連結している。そして、ヒータ18は送風ファン17の風下側に配置されている。この温風供給装置14を覆う前記バックカバー15には温風供給装置14の吸気口16aを塞がないように、これと対向する位置に通気孔15bが形成されている。
【0011】
また水槽3の上面には、水槽カバー20が配設され、水槽カバー20には、その中央の開口部分を開閉する内蓋21が回動可能に設けられている。内蓋21は、その略中央に例えば複数のスリット溝から成る開口部21aを形成しており、その開口部21aには、これを覆うように排気フィルター22を着脱可能に設けている。また、水槽カバー20にはケーシング16の吹出し口16bと連結した蛇腹状のダクト23が接続されている。
【0012】
さて、図3に示すように前記洗濯蓋10の周縁には垂下壁状にフランジ部10bが全周に亘って形成されており、その前後面および二つ折れ蓋の各側面のフランジ部10bには、これを一部切り欠くようにして通風部である切欠部10cを設けてあり、洗濯蓋10を閉じた状態においてこれとトップカバー2との間に隙間、いわゆる通風部が形成されるようになっている。
【0013】
またトップカバー2には、その開口部2aにおける前記洗濯蓋10のヒンジ10aに沿った壁面に、これと洗濯蓋10とで形成される隙間に向けた連通路となす傾斜面2bを形成することにより、開口部2aの上部にいわば逃げ部が形成されて、洗濯蓋10との隙間への入口が広がるため、更に湿気を含んだ温風を機外に排出しやすくすることができる。あわせて、これと対向する洗濯蓋10側のフランジ部10b端を前記トップカバー2の傾斜面と略平行に傾斜させたエッジ形状とすると、この効果を一層高めることができる。
【0014】
加えて、図1に示す温風供給装置14のケーシング16には、吸気口16aの外周を囲むように係合部16cを凸リング状に形成している。そして、これと対向するバックカバー15側には、その通気孔15bの外周にこれも凸リング状の被係合部15aを、前記係合部16cと係合できるよう若干径大に形成している。従って、温風供給装置14のケーシング16とバックカバー15とが、前記係合部16cと被係合部15aとで係合することで位置決めされるようになっている。なお、バックカバー15には、その通気孔15bを覆うように着脱可能に設けたフィルターたるフィルターケース24を有している。該フィルターケース24には通気孔15bに対向した位置に図示しないメッシュ部が設けられ、該メッシュ部は前記排気フィルター22と比較すると粗い目となっている。
【0015】
また、温風供給装置14のケーシング16の係合部16cとバックカバー15に設けた被係合部15aとを互いに係合させたことにより、両吸気口部の開口位置を正確に一致させることができ、もって外気をスムーズにかつ洩れなく吸気することができる。
【0016】
この様に構成された洗濯乾燥機の作用につき説明すると、操作パネル11を操作することにより洗い・すすぎ・脱水の各行程を順次実行するようになっている。まず洗い行程においては、洗濯槽6内に洗濯物を投入した後に、洗剤と共に水道水を給水弁13を介して洗濯槽6内に供給し、所定の水量を貯水する。そしてその後に撹拌体7を駆動装置8により自動反転などして回転駆動することにより洗濯物を撹拌し、もって洗濯物の汚れを落とす洗い行程が実行される。
【0017】
この洗い行程が終了すると、排水した後に、洗濯槽6を高速回転させて中間脱水が行なわれる。これにより洗剤分を含んだ洗濯液の大半が洗濯物から搾り出されて機外へ排出され、もってその次のすすぎ行程を効率良く短時間にも済ませることができるようにしている。そのすすぎ行程も、基本的に前記洗い行程と同様にして行なわれる。
【0018】
そしてすすぎ行程が終了すると、次には仕上げの脱水行程が洗濯槽6を高速回転させることにより実行され、もって洗濯物は脱水された状態となる。
さて、このようにして脱水行程まで完了した洗濯物を乾燥するにあたり、洗濯乾燥機の乾燥行程の動作を以下に説明する。
【0019】
乾燥行程では、まず温風供給装置14におけるモータ19の駆動により送風ファン17が回転し、これによってバックカバー15の通気孔15bとケーシング16の吸気口16aを通して外箱1の外部から温風供給装置14内に空気が取り込まれる。なお、図1中に空気および温風たる乾燥風の流れを矢印で示している。その後、ケーシング16内を通風路に沿って送られた空気はヒータ18によって加熱され、ダクト23を通じて洗濯槽6内に乾燥風として供給される。この乾燥風は、洗濯物と接するうちに洗濯物中の水分に気化熱を与えることにより洗濯物から蒸発させ、もって水分を奪うため、乾燥風は湿気を含んだ状態になる。その結果、暖かくかつ湿った空気は洗濯槽6内を上昇し、内蓋21に設けられた開口部21aと排気フィルター22とを通過して洗濯槽6外に排出され、そして、洗濯蓋10周縁部のフランジ部10bに設けた切欠部10cとトップカバー2との間に形成された隙間から機外に自然排気される。
【0020】
この様に、乾燥行程における湿った空気は、従来では主に洗濯蓋10と内蓋21との間の空間に滞留し勝ちであったが、本実施例によれば洗濯蓋10の周りの広範囲の隙間から速やかに排出され、もって外箱1内に湿った空気が滞留することを極力防止できる。よって、外箱1内部に湿った空気が滞留しないから、金属製で熱交換し易い外箱1の裏面が湿気により結露するという状態も未然に防止できる。また、洗濯槽6内の湿気を含んだ空気をスムーズに排出することで、代わって新たな乾燥風の導入を促し、全体として空気の流れを良好にし乾燥効率を向上させることができる。更には、乾燥に寄与した後の湿気を帯びた空気の排出は、洗濯蓋10周りのフランジ部10bの切欠部10cを利用とすることで、洗濯蓋10上に置かれた物で直接塞がれたり、本体上面の美観を損ねることもない。
【0021】
なお、本発明は上記しかつ図示した実施例に限らない。洗濯蓋のフランジ部の切欠部については、洗濯蓋のフランジ部において内外を連通させるものであればよく、例えばフランジ部に開けた穴でもよい。また、洗濯蓋は二つ折り構造に限らず、フィルター構造も種々変形可能など、実施に際して本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲で具体的に変更して実施可能である。
【0022】
【発明の効果】
以上述べたように、本発明によれば洗濯蓋の周縁フランジ部とトップカバーとの通風部から、槽内の湿った空気を機外へスムーズに排気することが可能であるので、本体上面に置かれた物で排気口を塞がれることもなく、美観を損なうことなく乾燥の効率を高めることができる。

[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the washing and drying machine provided with the drying function as described above, the discharge of the warm air including the moisture from the laundry during the drying process is not always efficiently performed due to the gap or the like, so that it stays inside the washing machine. It was easy to do and became a factor which reduced drying efficiency. In addition, condensation may occur on the inner surface of the outer box constituting the outer shell of the washing machine made of sheet metal, such as a color steel plate, and the condensed water may cause problems such as wetting the floor. Furthermore, in the above-described structure in which the exhaust lid is formed in the handle portion of the washing lid, it is easy to allow entry of dust and the like, and not only the appearance is impaired, but also is blocked by an object placed immediately above the washing lid. There was also a risk.
[0005]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to improve the drying efficiency by smoothly exhausting air and to prevent the dew condensation inside the washing machine without causing condensation. It is an object of the present invention to provide a washing machine that prevents intrusion and the like, and does not impair the beauty.

[0007]
In what is configured in this manner, moisture is taken from the laundry, and the moist air is exhausted through the ventilation portion provided in the flange portion of the laundry lid, that is, through the gap between the top cover and the laundry lid. It does not stay in the washing machine body. Therefore, the drying efficiency can be improved without impairing the aesthetic appearance of the upper surface of the washing machine.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a washing / drying machine as an embodiment of the washing machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 1 is a longitudinal side view showing the overall configuration of the washing / drying machine. As shown in this figure, the washing / drying machine main body includes a rectangular tubular metal outer box 1 and an upper end opening of the outer box 1. An outer shell of the washing / drying machine main body is constituted by the top cover 2 attached to the inside, and a water tank 3 is arranged inside the outer box 1. The water tub 3 is elastically supported by four suspension rods 4 (only two are shown) suspended from the upper end of the outer box 1 via springs 5, and a washing tub 6 is rotatably provided therein. is doing. A stirring body 7 is provided at the inner bottom of the washing tub 6, and the washing tub 6 and the stirring body 7 are connected via a rotating shaft 9 by a driving device 8 including a motor attached to the outer bottom surface of the water tub 3. It is selectively rotated.
[0009]
The top cover 2 has an opening 2a through which laundry can be taken in and out of the washing tub 6, and for example, a double-folded laundry lid 10 is attached to be opened and closed by a hinge 10a provided on the rear surface thereof. Yes. In particular, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 2, an operation panel 11 for operating the washing / drying machine is provided on the upper surface of the front portion of the top cover 2. A control device 12 is arranged. Further, a water supply valve 13 as a water supply means, a hot air supply device 14 as a hot air supply means, and the like are disposed on the rear upper surface of the top cover 2, and a rear surface opening of the top cover 2 by a detachable back cover 15. The whole part is covered.
[0010]
The hot air supply device 14 is entirely unitized by a casing 16 having an intake port 16a and a blowout port 16b, and a blower fan 17 and a heater 18 are provided therein, while the blower fan 17 is connected to the hot air supply device 14. A motor 19 to be driven is attached to the outer surface of the casing 16 and is connected to the blower fan 17 through a rotating shaft. The heater 18 is disposed on the leeward side of the blower fan 17. The back cover 15 covering the hot air supply device 14 is formed with a vent 15b at a position facing the back cover 15 so as not to block the intake port 16a of the hot air supply device 14.
[0011]
Further, a water tank cover 20 is disposed on the upper surface of the water tank 3, and an inner lid 21 that opens and closes the central opening portion of the water tank cover 20 is rotatably provided. The inner lid 21 has an opening 21a formed of, for example, a plurality of slit grooves at a substantially center thereof, and an exhaust filter 22 is detachably provided in the opening 21a so as to cover the opening 21a. In addition, a bellows-like duct 23 connected to the outlet 16 b of the casing 16 is connected to the water tank cover 20.
[0012]
Now, as shown in FIG. 3, a flange portion 10b is formed on the peripheral edge of the washing lid 10 in the form of a hanging wall over the entire circumference. Is provided with a cutout portion 10c that is a ventilation portion so as to partially cut out the gap, so that a gap, that is, a so-called ventilation portion is formed between the washing lid 10 and the top cover 2 in a closed state. It has become.
[0013]
In addition, the top cover 2 is formed with an inclined surface 2b that forms a communication path toward a gap formed between the top cover 2 and the laundry lid 10 on the wall surface along the hinge 10a of the laundry lid 10 in the opening 2a. Thus, a so-called escape portion is formed at the upper part of the opening 2a, and the entrance to the gap with the washing lid 10 is widened. Therefore, it is possible to easily discharge the warm air containing moisture to the outside of the machine. In addition, this effect can be further enhanced if the end of the flange portion 10b on the side of the washing lid 10 facing this is formed in an edge shape inclined substantially parallel to the inclined surface of the top cover 2.
[0014]
In addition, the casing 16 of the hot air supply device 14 shown in FIG. 1 has an engaging portion 16c formed in a convex ring shape so as to surround the outer periphery of the intake port 16a. On the back cover 15 side opposite to this, a convex ring-shaped engaged portion 15a is formed on the outer periphery of the vent hole 15b so as to be slightly larger in diameter so that it can be engaged with the engaging portion 16c. Yes. Accordingly, the casing 16 and the back cover 15 of the hot air supply device 14 are positioned by engaging the engaging portion 16c and the engaged portion 15a. The back cover 15 has a filter case 24 as a filter that is detachably provided so as to cover the vent hole 15b. The filter case 24 is provided with a mesh portion (not shown) at a position facing the vent hole 15 b, and the mesh portion is rougher than the exhaust filter 22.
[0015]
Further, by engaging the engaging portion 16c of the casing 16 of the hot air supply device 14 and the engaged portion 15a provided on the back cover 15, the opening positions of both the intake ports can be made to coincide with each other accurately. Therefore, outside air can be sucked in smoothly and without leakage.
[0016]
The operation of the washing / drying machine configured as described above will be described. By operating the operation panel 11, the steps of washing, rinsing, and dewatering are sequentially executed. First, in a washing process, after putting laundry in the washing tub 6, tap water is supplied into the washing tub 6 through the water supply valve 13 together with the detergent, and a predetermined amount of water is stored. After that, the washing body is agitated by rotating the agitator 7 with the drive device 8 by automatically reversing it, and the washing process is performed to remove the dirt of the laundry.
[0017]
When this washing process is completed, after draining, the washing tub 6 is rotated at a high speed to perform intermediate dehydration. As a result, most of the washing liquid containing the detergent is squeezed out of the laundry and discharged out of the machine, so that the next rinsing process can be completed efficiently and in a short time. The rinsing process is basically performed in the same manner as the washing process.
[0018]
When the rinsing process is completed, the finishing dehydration process is performed by rotating the washing tub 6 at a high speed, and the laundry is dehydrated.
Now, in drying the laundry completed up to the dehydration process in this way, the operation of the drying process of the laundry dryer will be described below.
[0019]
In the drying process, first, the blower fan 17 is rotated by driving the motor 19 in the hot air supply device 14, and thereby the hot air supply device from the outside of the outer box 1 through the vent hole 15 b of the back cover 15 and the intake port 16 a of the casing 16. Air is taken into 14. In FIG. 1, the flow of air and the drying air as warm air are indicated by arrows. Thereafter, the air sent along the air passage through the casing 16 is heated by the heater 18 and supplied as dry air into the washing tub 6 through the duct 23. This dry wind evaporates from the laundry by giving vaporization heat to the moisture in the laundry while in contact with the laundry, thereby depriving the moisture, so that the dry wind is in a state containing moisture. As a result, warm and moist air rises in the washing tub 6, passes through the opening 21 a provided in the inner lid 21 and the exhaust filter 22, and is discharged out of the washing tub 6. Is naturally exhausted from the gap formed between the top cover 2 and the notch 10c provided in the flange portion 10b.
[0020]
As described above, the damp air in the drying process is likely to stay in the space between the washing lid 10 and the inner lid 21 in the past, but according to the present embodiment, a wide area around the washing lid 10 is obtained. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the moist air from staying in the outer box 1 as much as possible. Therefore, since moist air does not stay inside the outer box 1, it is possible to prevent a state in which the back surface of the outer box 1 that is made of metal and easily exchanges heat is condensed due to moisture. Further, by smoothly discharging the air containing moisture in the washing tub 6, it is possible to promote the introduction of new drying air instead, and to improve the air flow as a whole and improve the drying efficiency. Furthermore, the exhaust of the humid air after contributing to the drying is directly blocked by an object placed on the laundry lid 10 by using the notch 10c of the flange portion 10b around the laundry lid 10. There is no loss of aesthetics on the top of the body.
[0021]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above and illustrated. About the notch part of the flange part of a washing lid, what is necessary is just to connect the inside and outside in the flange part of a washing lid, for example, the hole opened in the flange part may be sufficient. The washing lid is not limited to a two-fold structure, and the filter structure can be variously modified. For example, the washing lid can be implemented with specific modifications without departing from the gist of the present invention.
[0022]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, moist air in the tub can be smoothly exhausted from the ventilation portion between the peripheral flange portion of the washing lid and the top cover. It is possible to increase the efficiency of drying without obstructing the exhaust port with the placed object and without losing the aesthetic appearance.
