Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify a washing/drying composite device capable of automatically removing foam even when it is present in an air recirculation circuit and to improve reliability. SOLUTION: The composite device for washing and drying clothes is provided with a washing tub 1, a drum 2 capable of housing laundry and rotatable at a variable speed including a dehydrating speed inside the washing tub at the time of use, a discharge pipe 5 arranged at the lower part of the washing tub and a circuit for circulating drying air. Thus, the circuit is at least composed of a first conduit 6 for sucking the air containing moisture from the inside of the washing tub, a propulsion device 7 for circulating the drying air, a heating means 8 for the drying air and a conduit 9 for introducing the air into the washing tub again. The propulsion device for circulating high temperature air is automatically operated for a prescribed time T after a washing stage and before a rinsing stage.

2. Description of the Prior Art In the prior art, a washer / dryer combination machine is known which has a mode of operation controlled by means for programming the cycle of operation. It usually has the function of performing one or more laundry rinse steps at the end of the wash step.

However, under certain operating conditions, for example, when the detergent loading is excessive or when a detergent of a type that produces a particularly large amount of foam is used, excessive foam is generated in the washing tub. This foam tends to penetrate into all reachable holes present in the wash tub, with the added effect of rotating the washing drum. Particularly, in the combined washer / dryer, excessive foam tends to enter the recirculation circuit at both openings where the circuit for recirculation of hot and humid air opens into the washing tub. In worse cases, large amounts of foam can clog the circuit and, of course, the foam contains large amounts of dirt that has been removed from the laundry.

Two types of problems that occur in such a situation will be described here.

てしまうからである。
The first problem is that the excess foam causes the washing tub to become virtually a closed container by closing all the holes, which can lead to several rinsing steps after the washing step, respectively. An appropriate amount of water should be used, but this does not mean that the volume of water introduced will be compensated by the discharge of an equivalent volume of air, resulting in a slight increase in pressure in the wash tub. It means that it will end up. It should be noted here that the discharge of air is not even done via a conduit for the introduction of water. Because the upper layer of the bubbles floating above the water is higher than the position of this introduction pipe, so quickly, this water introduction pipe is in a state where water is allowed to be introduced but air cannot be discharged. Because it will be blocked.

【0006】これでは、圧力センサーが実際の導入され
たすすぎ水のレベルに相当するよりも高い圧力を検知す

明らかである。
This would result in the pressure sensor sensing a higher pressure than would correspond to the actual level of rinse water introduced, which would result in premature shutoff of the flow of water, which would then occur. Obviously, it causes many problems.

まうからである。
As a measure against this problem, in a washing-only device which cannot be dried, a suitably large ventilation pipe is arranged between the uppermost part of the washing tub and the water distribution means arranged above it. Things have been done. However, this measure cannot be applied to the washer / dryer as described above. This is because during the drying process operation, such a ventilation pipe serves as a passage for escaping the hot air forcedly introduced into the tank to the outside.

現象を防ぐことには役立った。
Therefore, as a countermeasure for the washing / drying apparatus, a conduit for directly ventilating the base of the impeller (impeller) to the water distribution means has been installed. This conduit allowed ventilation and, due to its length, helped to prevent the bubble from completely occluding and overflowing.

However, this configuration does not avoid the problem here that the pressure in the tank rises when the conduit for sucking the drying air is clogged with bubbles.

A second problem is that during the continuous rinse / dewatering stage, if the recirculation circuit is not functional, bubbles will form in this circuit even after the final dewatering and before the beginning of the drying stage. It means that it will remain.

Then, in the subsequent drying step, when the drying air passes through the circuit for heating and recirculating the air (the water in the air is condensed), the air in the air recirculation circuit is dried. The bubbles existing in the tank will return to the tank again from this circuit. This irreversibly pollutes the laundry. Dirt and other substances that were present in the foam cannot be removed from the laundry.

The apparatus is capable of performing at least one washing cycle including at least one rinsing step after the washing step, and the foam generated in the washing tub during the washing step is excessive in the washing cycle. Due to the effects of generation and rotation of the drum, there is a possibility of deep penetration into the circuit for circulating the drying air through the holes leading to the suction pipe 6 and the conduit 9 for air reintroduction, If left as it is, bubbles may remain there even after the rinsing step to cause the above-mentioned problems.
