Description

本発明は、洗濯槽内の洗濯物を洗濯する機能と乾燥する機能を備えた洗濯乾燥機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a washing / drying machine having a function of washing and drying a laundry in a washing tub.

洗濯乾燥機において、給水機構,排水機構が故障し、水が給水されつづけても排水ホースから排水することができずに、外槽と外槽上カバーから水が溢れる際に、外槽カバー上部に取り付けられたヒータ及び外槽底部に取り付けられたモータなどに水がかかるなどして感電事故に至る恐れがある。それを回避するために外槽上部に緊急排水口を設け、外槽の一部から排水させ、電気部品に水かかりが無いようにしている。   In the washing and drying machine, when the water supply mechanism and drainage mechanism break down and water continues to be supplied, the drainage hose cannot drain the water, and when the water overflows from the outer tank and the outer tank upper cover, the upper part of the outer tank cover There is a risk that an electric shock may occur due to water splashing on the heater attached to the motor and the motor attached to the bottom of the outer tub. In order to avoid this, an emergency drain outlet is provided in the upper part of the outer tub so that water is drained from a part of the outer tub so that the electrical parts are not flooded.

また、緊急排水機構は、緊急時には多量の水(18L/min以上)を排水させなければならないが、通常運転時は緊急排水機構から漏れる乾燥空気の影響で外枠内に結露が発生し、その結露水が垂れたりすることにより水漏れクレーム等の原因となるため外槽の外に蒸気を漏らしてはならない。   The emergency drainage mechanism must drain a large amount of water (18 L / min or more) in an emergency, but during normal operation, condensation occurs in the outer frame due to the effect of dry air leaking from the emergency drainage mechanism. Do not let the steam leak out of the outer tub as condensation causes dripping or water leakage complaints.

このため緊急排水機構は、通常運転時には空気の流通を防ぎ、緊急時には水を多量に通す構造が必要である。   For this reason, the emergency drainage mechanism needs to have a structure that prevents the flow of air during normal operation and allows a large amount of water to pass during an emergency.

従来例では、緊急排水機構にS字形パイプの排水トラップ構造を備え、この排水トラップに溜まる水で乾燥空気の漏れを防ぎ、緊急排水の水が流れ込むときには排水できるようにしている。しかし、乾燥空気の漏れ出しを阻止するところまで、S字形の排水トラップに結露水がたまるのに時間が長すぎるため、その間に蒸気が外槽から外枠内へ排出され外枠内面に多量の結露が発生する問題があった。   In the conventional example, the emergency drainage mechanism is provided with a drain trap structure of an S-shaped pipe, and the water accumulated in the drain trap prevents leakage of dry air so that it can be drained when emergency drainage water flows. However, since it takes too long for condensed water to accumulate in the S-shaped drain trap until it prevents leakage of dry air, steam is discharged from the outer tank into the outer frame during that time, and a large amount of water is deposited on the inner surface of the outer frame. There was a problem of condensation.

また、特許文献1に示す洗濯乾燥機では、緊急排水を排水路に繋ぎ、排水路に排水トラップを備え、上記従来例と同様な機能を得るようにしていた。   Moreover, in the washing / drying machine shown in Patent Document 1, emergency drainage is connected to a drainage channel, a drainage trap is provided in the drainage channel, and the same function as the above-described conventional example is obtained.

特開2000−225286号公報JP 2000-225286 A

上述したようにS字形の排水トラップでは結露水がたまる時間がかかりすぎるため、時間短縮化が必要である。時間短縮化には、結露水溜量を少なくするめに排水トラップ管の径小化が必要である。S字形の排水トラップ管はブロー成形で形成されているので、寸法精度が悪く、排水トラップ管の径小化は難しい。   As described above, the S-shaped drain trap takes too much time for the condensed water to accumulate, and thus it is necessary to shorten the time. To shorten the time, it is necessary to reduce the diameter of the drain trap pipe in order to reduce the amount of condensed water pool. Since the S-shaped drain trap pipe is formed by blow molding, the dimensional accuracy is poor and it is difficult to reduce the diameter of the drain trap pipe.

本発明の目的とするところは、上記の課題に鑑み、作り易く,寸法精度が良く、少ない結露水溜量で乾燥空気の漏れ出しを早期に阻止できる排水トラップを備える洗濯乾燥機を提供することにある。   In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a washing and drying machine provided with a drain trap that is easy to make, has good dimensional accuracy, and can prevent leakage of dry air early with a small amount of condensed water. is there.

In an washer / dryer having an emergency drain pipe from which drainage from the mouth flows down and a drain trap for preventing steam leakage with a water reservoir provided at the lower end of the emergency drain pipe, the drain trap includes a body case, A container-shaped inner lid that is detachably placed in the main body case, and an upper cover that is detachably attached so as to close the upper portion of the main body case.

Further, the detergent dissolution container 21 and the auxiliary water supply electromagnetic valves 22 and 22a are also provided in the washing water supply means.

注水口19は、トップカバー9の底と外槽5の外槽上カバー28の後部を貫通して洗濯兼脱水槽2の上部開口内に向けて開口する。この注水口19は、トップカバー9の底と外槽上カバー28の間には可撓管を介在させる。   The water injection port 19 passes through the bottom of the top cover 9 and the rear portion of the outer tub upper cover 28 of the outer tub 5 and opens into the upper opening of the washing and dewatering tub 2. The water injection port 19 has a flexible tube interposed between the bottom of the top cover 9 and the outer tank upper cover 28.

温風循環乾燥手段は、外槽5の下部の側壁に形成した吸い出し口5aから該外槽5の後側の外壁面に沿って垂直状態で上向きに伸びるように形成して前記吸い出し口5aから浸入した洗濯水を堰き止める除湿風路部である水冷除湿ダクト23と、この水冷除湿ダクト23内の上部に位置して該ダクト内に冷却水を供給する水冷除湿手段である冷却散水部24と、洗濯工程における外槽5の水位よりも高い位置で折り返して該外槽5の外壁面に沿って該外槽5の下側に向かって垂直に伸びる下降風路部である下降風路ダクト25と、外槽5の下側の空間に配置されて前記下降風路ダクト25から吸い込み口に空気を吸い込んで循環空気を生成する循環ファン26と、この循環ファン26の吹き出し口から外槽5の外壁面に沿って上方向に垂直状態に伸びる上昇風路部である上昇風路ダクト27と、外槽5の上端部に取り付けた外槽上カバー28上に設置されて前記上昇風路ダクト27から送り込まれる循環空気を加熱する加熱手段であるヒータ(PTCヒータ)29を内蔵し、加熱した循環空気を洗濯兼脱水槽2内に向けて吹き込む吹き込み口30を備える。   The hot air circulation drying means is formed so as to extend vertically from the suction port 5a formed on the lower side wall of the outer tub 5 along the outer wall surface on the rear side of the outer tub 5, and from the suction port 5a. A water-cooled dehumidifying duct 23 that is a dehumidifying air passage section that dams the infiltrated washing water, and a cooling water spraying section 24 that is located in the upper part of the water-cooled dehumidifying duct 23 and is a water-cooled dehumidifying means that supplies cooling water to the duct A descending air duct 25 that is a descending air duct portion that is folded back at a position higher than the water level of the outer tub 5 in the washing process and extends vertically along the outer wall surface of the outer tub 5 toward the lower side of the outer tub 5. A circulation fan 26 that is disposed in a space below the outer tub 5 and sucks air from the descending air duct 25 into the suction port to generate circulated air, and from the outlet of the circulation fan 26 to the outer tub 5. Vertically upward along the outer wall A heating means for heating the circulating air sent from the rising air duct duct 27 installed on the ascending air duct duct 27 which is an upward air duct portion extending to the outer tank 5 and the outer tank upper cover 28 attached to the upper end portion of the outer tank 5 A heater (PTC heater) 29 is incorporated, and a blow-in port 30 for blowing the heated circulating air into the washing and dewatering tub 2 is provided.

循環風路を構成する前記水冷除湿ダクト23,下降風路ダクト25および上昇風路ダクト27は、外槽5の後側の外壁面に該外槽5の周方向に並べてその一部を該外槽5と一体成形して実装し、これらの外側を覆う裏側蓋1aは、外側に膨出する形状に構成してねじ止めする。   The water-cooled dehumidifying duct 23, the descending air duct 25 and the ascending air duct 27 constituting the circulation air path are arranged on the outer wall surface on the rear side of the outer tank 5 in the circumferential direction of the outer tank 5 and a part thereof is outside the outer duct. The back cover 1a that is integrally molded with the tank 5 and mounted, and covers the outside of the tank 5 is configured to bulge outward and is screwed.

また、下降風路ダクト25内には湿度センサ400と第1温度センサ100を設置し、吹き込み口30,ヒータ29の下流側の風路内には第2温度センサ42を設置する。水冷除湿ダクト23内で水冷除湿された循環空気の湿度と温度を精度良く検出するためには、水冷除湿された循環空気が良く混合されて均一になった後に前記湿度センサ400と第1温度センサ100に触れさせるのが良く、従って、湿度センサ400と第1温度センサ100は、水冷除湿ダクト23から遠く離れた下降風路ダクト25の下部または循環ファン26の吸い込み口ケーシングに設置する。更に、湿度センサ400と第1温度センサ100は、保守作業に便利なように、裏側蓋を外したときに露出するような設置位置とする。   Further, the humidity sensor 400 and the first temperature sensor 100 are installed in the descending air duct 25, and the second temperature sensor 42 is installed in the air duct on the downstream side of the air inlet 30 and the heater 29. In order to accurately detect the humidity and temperature of the circulating air dehumidified in the water-cooled dehumidifying duct 23, the humidity sensor 400 and the first temperature sensor are mixed after the water-cooled dehumidified circulating air is well mixed and uniform. Therefore, the humidity sensor 400 and the first temperature sensor 100 are installed in the lower part of the descending air duct 25 far from the water-cooled dehumidifying duct 23 or in the suction port casing of the circulation fan 26. Further, the humidity sensor 400 and the first temperature sensor 100 are set at an installation position where they are exposed when the back cover is removed, so that maintenance work is convenient.

トップカバー9に形成した外側衣類投入口9aは、2つ折り(山折り)に開くようにヒンジによってトップカバー9に取り付けた外蓋31によって開閉自在に覆い、外槽5の上端に取り付けた外槽上カバー28に形成した内側衣類投入口28aは、ヒンジ32aによって外槽上カバー28に取り付けた内蓋32によって開閉自在に覆うように構成する。   The outer garment insertion port 9a formed in the top cover 9 is covered with an outer lid 31 attached to the top cover 9 by a hinge so as to open in half (mountain fold) and can be opened and closed, and the outer tub attached to the upper end of the outer tub 5 The inner garment insertion port 28a formed in the upper cover 28 is configured to be freely opened and closed by an inner lid 32 attached to the outer tub upper cover 28 by a hinge 32a.

外槽5の底に形成した排水口5bは、排水電磁弁33を介して排水ホース34に接続する。エアートラップは、エアーチューブ35を介して前記水位センサ15に接続する。外枠1の下端縁には、四隅に脚36を取り付けた合成樹脂で成形されたベース37を装着する。   A drain port 5 b formed at the bottom of the outer tub 5 is connected to a drain hose 34 via a drain electromagnetic valve 33. The air trap is connected to the water level sensor 15 via the air tube 35. At the lower end edge of the outer frame 1, a base 37 made of synthetic resin with legs 36 attached to the four corners is attached.

なお、参照符号38は、洗濯兼脱水槽2内に投入された洗濯物である。   Reference numeral 38 denotes a laundry put in the washing and dewatering tub 2.

本発明の主要部である緊急排水構造は、図1,図2に示すように外槽5の上部にある緊急排水口39と緊急排水パイプ40を有する。緊急排水パイプ40の上側には緊急排水口39が、下側には蒸気漏れ防止用の排水トラップ41が連通するように設けている。   The emergency drainage structure, which is the main part of the present invention, has an emergency drainage port 39 and an emergency drainage pipe 40 at the upper part of the outer tub 5 as shown in FIGS. An emergency drain port 39 is provided on the upper side of the emergency drain pipe 40, and a drain trap 41 for preventing steam leakage is provided on the lower side.

この緊急排水構造は、溢水用の排水機構とは別に設ける。溢水用の排水機構は排水路に連通するが、緊急排水構造は排水路には繋がらない。緊急排水口39は溢水口よりも高い位置に設けている。溢水口の水位を超える溢水超え水位の水は緊急排水口39から排水される。   This emergency drainage structure is provided separately from the drainage mechanism for overflow. The overflow drainage mechanism communicates with the drainage channel, but the emergency drainage structure does not connect to the drainage channel. The emergency drain port 39 is provided at a position higher than the overflow port. Water exceeding the overflow water level is drained from the emergency drain port 39.

緊急排水構造は洗濯運転時、給水弁の故障・水位センサの故障・排水弁の故障・排水ホース詰まりなどが生じたときに洗濯機の外に緊急排水する機能を発揮する。すなわち、排水機構が排水不能にかかわらず給水され続けると、水は外槽と外槽上カバーの間から溢れ出し、外槽上カバー上にあるヒータ及び、外槽底部に取り付けられているモータに浸水し感電事故を起こす怖れがある。   The emergency drainage structure performs the function of emergency drainage outside the washing machine when a water supply valve failure, water level sensor failure, drainage valve failure, drainage hose clogging, etc. occur during washing operation. That is, if the drainage mechanism continues to be supplied regardless of whether or not drainage is possible, the water overflows from between the outer tub and the outer tub upper cover, and is supplied to the heater on the outer tub upper cover and the motor attached to the bottom of the outer tub. There is a fear of flooding and causing an electric shock.

このような事態に対処して緊急排水構造は機能するもので、溢れる水の流れを制御するため外槽の淵の一部から溢れるようにし、外槽5の全長より長い緊急排水パイプ40、および排水トラップ41を接続して跳ね返り水が少なくなるように洗濯機ベース37に直接排水させる。   The emergency drainage structure functions in response to such a situation, in order to control the flow of overflowing water, it overflows from a part of the tub of the outer tank, the emergency drainage pipe 40 longer than the entire length of the outer tank 5, and The drain trap 41 is connected and drained directly to the washing machine base 37 so that the amount of water bounces back.

故障時に溢れる水量は給水弁から給水される最大流量の18L/minであり、緊急排水構造はそれ以上排水可能でなくてはならない。   The amount of water overflowing at the time of failure is the maximum flow rate of 18 L / min supplied from the water supply valve, and the emergency drainage structure must be able to drain further.

また、外槽の一部から水を溢れさせることにより槽内が封止されていない事となる。乾燥運転時、温風は水を溢れさせる緊急排水口39から緊急排水パイプ40、および排水トラップ41を通り外枠内にもれることとなる。   Moreover, the inside of a tank will not be sealed by overflowing water from a part of outer tank. During the drying operation, the hot air passes through the emergency drain pipe 40 and the drain trap 41 from the emergency drain port 39 that overflows the water and leaks into the outer frame.

その温風が結露すると、表示パネルの曇りや床濡れの原因となる。よって、通常時は乾燥運転の温風を外槽内から出さないよう封止しなくてはならない。この温風封止には従来はS字形パイプの排水トラップを用いていた。先の〔発明が解決しようとする課題〕でも述べたとおり、S字形パイプの排水トラップでは温風封止に達するまでの結露水溜量が多く必要で、温風の封止めに時間が長引く。それに応えるべく、早期に少ない結露水溜量で乾燥空気(温風)の漏れ出しを阻止し、温風封止に至る時間を短縮化することが強く望まれていた。   If the hot air is condensed, the display panel may become cloudy or the floor may get wet. Therefore, it must be sealed so that the warm air from the drying operation does not come out of the outer tank during normal operation. Conventionally, an S-shaped pipe drain trap has been used for this hot air sealing. As described in the above [Problems to be Solved by the Invention], the drain trap of the S-shaped pipe requires a large amount of condensed water until reaching the hot air sealing, and it takes a long time to seal the hot air. In order to respond to this, it has been strongly desired to prevent the leakage of dry air (warm air) with a small amount of condensed water pool at an early stage and to shorten the time required to seal the warm air.

上記の要望に応える蒸気漏れ防止用の排水トラップ41について、図2,図3,図4を引用して説明する。   A drainage trap 41 for preventing steam leakage in response to the above request will be described with reference to FIGS.

排水トラップ41は、本体ケース410と、本体ケース410内に着脱自在に逆さ向きに置かれる容器状の中蓋411と、本体ケース410の上部を塞ぐように着脱自在に取り付ける上部カバー412を有する。図3の矢印50は乾燥空気(温風)や緊急排水の流れを示す。   The drain trap 41 includes a main body case 410, a container-shaped inner lid 411 that is detachably placed in the main body case 410, and an upper cover 412 that is detachably attached so as to close the upper portion of the main body case 410. An arrow 50 in FIG. 3 indicates the flow of dry air (warm air) or emergency drainage.

本体ケース410,容器状の中蓋411,上部カバー412は、合成樹脂で形成する。従来のS形の排水トラップはブロー成形で作った。本発明の本実施の本体ケース410,容器状の中蓋411,上部カバー412は、雄金型/雌金型の二つの金型を用いて成形する。この雄金型/雌金型(二つの金型)を用いる成形は、ブロー成形と異なり、成形の作業性がよく寸法精度の良い排水トラップ41を作ることができる。   The main body case 410, the container-shaped inner lid 411, and the upper cover 412 are made of synthetic resin. A conventional S-shaped drain trap was made by blow molding. The main body case 410, the container-shaped inner lid 411, and the upper cover 412 according to the present invention are molded using two molds, a male mold and a female mold. Unlike blow molding, molding using this male mold / female mold (two molds) can produce a drain trap 41 with good molding workability and good dimensional accuracy.

本体ケース410は、外側ケース筒部4101と、内側ケース筒部4102と、外内側両ケース筒部4101,4102の底を閉じる環状底部4103と、外内側両ケース筒部および前記環状底部で形成される水溜部4104を有する。外側ケース筒部4101と、内側ケース筒部4102は同心円で形成される。環状底部4103は縦端面がU字形状をしている。   The main body case 410 is formed of an outer case tube portion 4101, an inner case tube portion 4102, an annular bottom portion 4103 that closes the bottoms of the outer and inner case tube portions 4101, 4102, both outer and inner case tube portions, and the annular bottom portion. A water reservoir 4104. The outer case tube portion 4101 and the inner case tube portion 4102 are formed concentrically. The annular bottom portion 4103 has a U-shaped vertical end surface.

本体ケース410は、内側ケース筒部4102の下方には環状底部4103より下側に
向かって延在する下部内側ケース筒部4105を有する。下部内側ケース筒部4105は内側ケース筒部4102と同径である。
The main body case 410 has a lower inner case tube portion 4105 extending below the annular bottom portion 4103 below the inner case tube portion 4102. The lower inner case tube portion 4105 has the same diameter as the inner case tube portion 4102.

シート4106は下部内側ケース筒部4105の下端開口を閉じる蓋になる。このシート4106は、気密度が低く、乾燥空気(温風)は流出し、緊急排水はシート4106を開いてベース37に排出される。   The sheet 4106 serves as a lid that closes the lower end opening of the lower inner case cylinder 4105. The sheet 4106 has a low air density, dry air (warm air) flows out, and emergency drainage is discharged to the base 37 by opening the sheet 4106.

本体ケース410は、図4に示すように、内側ケース筒部4102の外周に3ヶの位置決め突起4107を有する。位置決め突起4107は、環状底部4103から水溜部4104の上側に向かって立ち上がるように形成される。   As shown in FIG. 4, the main body case 410 has three positioning protrusions 4107 on the outer periphery of the inner case cylinder portion 4102. The positioning protrusion 4107 is formed so as to rise from the annular bottom portion 4103 toward the upper side of the water reservoir 4104.

本体ケース410は、外側ケース筒部4101と、内側ケース筒部4102と、外内側両ケース筒部4101,4102の底を閉じる環状底部4103と、外内側両ケース筒部および前記環状底部4103で形成される水溜部4104と、下部内側ケース筒部4105と、位置決め突起4107を有し、上記のように成形用の金型が上下方向に抜ける構成にしているので、作り易く,寸法精度良く形成することができる。   The main body case 410 is formed by an outer case tube portion 4101, an inner case tube portion 4102, an annular bottom portion 4103 that closes the bottoms of the outer and inner case tube portions 4101, 4102, both outer and inner case tube portions, and the annular bottom portion 4103. The water reservoir 4104, the lower inner case tube 4105, and the positioning projection 4107 are formed so that the molding die can be removed in the vertical direction as described above. be able to.

容器状の中蓋411は、お碗を逆さにしたような形状をしている。図3に示すように、本体ケース410内に逆さに置かれる中蓋411は、上側にドーム形の天井部4110と、天井部の周縁より下がる円筒の筒部4111を有する。中蓋411は、筒部4111の下端に前記環状底部4103の内底面と当接する複数の突起(図示せず)を有する。   The container-shaped inner lid 411 is shaped like an inverted bowl. As shown in FIG. 3, the inner lid 411 placed upside down in the main body case 410 has a dome-shaped ceiling portion 4110 on the upper side and a cylindrical tube portion 4111 that falls below the periphery of the ceiling portion. The inner lid 411 has a plurality of protrusions (not shown) that contact the inner bottom surface of the annular bottom portion 4103 at the lower end of the cylindrical portion 4111.

中蓋411も本体ケース410と同様に、成形用の金型が上下方向に抜ける構成にしているので、作り易く,寸法精度良く形成することができる。   As with the main body case 410, the inner lid 411 is configured so that the molding die can be removed in the vertical direction, so that it can be easily formed and formed with high dimensional accuracy.

こうした中蓋411は、前記複数の突起(図示せず)、および前記3ヶの位置決め突起4107により、所定位置に保たれた状態で本体ケース410内に逆さに置かれる。   The inner lid 411 is placed upside down in the main body case 410 while being held at a predetermined position by the plurality of protrusions (not shown) and the three positioning protrusions 4107.

すなわち、中蓋411は、前記複数突起(図示せず)と環状底部4103との当接により筒部4111の下端が環状底部4103から所定の離間幅Tを保って置かれ、かつ前記3ヶの位置決め突起4107と筒部4111との当接で筒部4111が水溜部4104内の径方向所定位置に保たれて置かれる。   That is, the inner lid 411 is placed with the lower end of the cylindrical portion 4111 maintaining a predetermined separation width T from the annular bottom portion 4103 by the contact between the plurality of protrusions (not shown) and the annular bottom portion 4103, and the three pieces. The cylindrical portion 4111 is placed at a predetermined radial position in the water reservoir 4104 by the contact between the positioning protrusion 4107 and the cylindrical portion 4111.

なお、18L/minの緊急排水量を確保できる離間幅Tは約15mm以下である。   In addition, the separation width T that can secure an emergency drainage amount of 18 L / min is about 15 mm or less.

上記所定の離間幅Tは、上述した排水トラップ41の緊急排水量、および温風封止のための結露水溜量4108(図3に示す)を規定する。緊急排水量は少なく見込んでも18L/minであるので、この水量を確保できる前記離間幅が最小限必要である。その一方で温風封止のための結露水溜量4108は少ない方が望ましいので、前記離間幅は可能な限り狭めたい。   The predetermined separation width T defines the amount of emergency drainage of the drain trap 41 and the amount of condensed water pool 4108 (shown in FIG. 3) for hot air sealing. Even if the amount of emergency drainage is expected to be small, it is 18 L / min. Therefore, the separation width that can secure this amount of water is the minimum required. On the other hand, it is desirable that the amount of condensed water pool 4108 for sealing hot air is small, so the separation width should be as narrow as possible.

従来のS字形パイプの排水トラップは出来上がり寸法精度の劣るブロー成形品であったので、寸法精度の狂いを見込んで口径を大きく作らざるを得なかった。しかし、本発明の実施例に係る排水トラップ41は、中蓋411も本体ケース410と同様に、成形用の金型が上下方向に抜ける構成にしているので、作り易く,寸法精度良く形成される。このため、前記離間幅は寸法精度の狂いを見込んで大きくする必要なく、緊急排水量をしつつ、温風封止のための結露水溜量4108を少なくでき、少ない結露水溜量で乾燥空気の漏れ出しを早期に阻止することが実現できる。   Since the conventional S-shaped pipe drain trap was a blow-molded product with poor dimensional accuracy, it had to make a large diameter in anticipation of dimensional accuracy. However, in the drain trap 41 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the inner lid 411 is configured so that the molding die can be pulled out in the vertical direction, similarly to the main body case 410, so that it is easy to make and is formed with high dimensional accuracy. . For this reason, it is not necessary to increase the separation width in anticipation of a deviation in dimensional accuracy, and the amount of condensed water pool 4108 for hot air sealing can be reduced while urgent drainage is performed, and dry air leaks with a small amount of condensed water pool. Can be prevented early.

上部カバー412は、本体ケース410の外側ケース筒部4101の上部を塞ぐカバー部4120と、前記緊急排水パイプ40の下端が接続されるパイプ接続部4121と、カバー部4120の内側面より下方に延在する複数の押圧片4122と、カバー部4120の外周に設けた環状の係止部4123と、支持腕4124を有する。   The upper cover 412 extends downward from an inner surface of the cover portion 4120, a cover portion 4120 that covers the upper portion of the outer case tube portion 4101 of the main body case 410, a pipe connection portion 4121 to which the lower end of the emergency drain pipe 40 is connected. It has a plurality of existing pressing pieces 4122, an annular locking portion 4123 provided on the outer periphery of the cover portion 4120, and a support arm 4124.

上部カバー412は、外側ケース筒部4101の上側に押し付けることで係止部4123が外側ケース筒部4101の上部係合部に嵌合して取り付けられる。この取り付けにともない、上記押圧片4122が中蓋411を下方に押圧するようになる。このため、中蓋411が洗濯乾燥運転の振動や緊急排水の影響で浮き上がって前記離間幅が変わってしまう不具合は防止される。   The upper cover 412 is attached by fitting the engaging portion 4123 to the upper engaging portion of the outer case tube portion 4101 by pressing the upper cover 412 on the upper side of the outer case tube portion 4101. With this attachment, the pressing piece 4122 presses the inner lid 411 downward. For this reason, the malfunction that the inner lid 411 floats up under the influence of the vibration of the washing / drying operation or the emergency drainage and the separation width is changed is prevented.

排水トラップ41は、支持腕4124を用いて外槽5に取り付けられる。支持腕4124とパイプ接続部4121で外槽5の挟み、支持腕4124に設けた掛け止め突起4125が外槽5の係止孔(図示せず)に係合して排水トラップ41は外槽5の底部に外れないように取り付けが行われる。   The drain trap 41 is attached to the outer tub 5 using a support arm 4124. The outer arm 5 is sandwiched between the support arm 4124 and the pipe connection portion 4121, and the latching protrusion 4125 provided on the support arm 4124 is engaged with a locking hole (not shown) of the outer tank 5, so that the drain trap 41 is placed in the outer tank 5. The attachment is performed so that it does not come off at the bottom.

また上述したように排水トラップ41を構成する各部品は、寸法精度良く形成できるので排水トラップ41が全体的にコンパクトになる。このため、排水トラップ41は外槽5の底部の狭いところに配置される他部品との干渉が緩和され、取り付けがし易い。   Further, as described above, since the components constituting the drain trap 41 can be formed with high dimensional accuracy, the drain trap 41 becomes compact as a whole. For this reason, the drain trap 41 is less likely to interfere with other parts arranged in the narrow portion of the bottom of the outer tub 5, and is easy to install.

上記実施例では、前記離間幅を中蓋411は、前記複数突起(図示せず)と環状底部4103との当接により構成しているが、中蓋411の天井部4110の内側に内側ケース筒部4102の上端に当接する複数突起を設けて離間幅ができるようにすることも可能である。   In the above-described embodiment, the inner lid 411 is configured by the abutment of the plurality of protrusions (not shown) and the annular bottom portion 4103, but the inner case cylinder is formed inside the ceiling portion 4110 of the inner lid 411. It is also possible to provide a plurality of protrusions that abut on the upper end of the portion 4102 so that the separation width can be increased.

また、位置決め突起4107は中蓋411の筒部4111、もしくは外側ケース筒部4101の内周側に変更して設けることも可能である。   Further, the positioning protrusion 4107 can be provided by being changed to the cylindrical portion 4111 of the inner lid 411 or the inner peripheral side of the outer case cylindrical portion 4101.
