い。According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, first, a washing and dewatering tub having an open upper surface is rotatably provided in a water tub supported in an outer box. A washing / drying machine provided with a rotary wing at a bottom portion in the washing and dewatering tub and having a means for heating laundry drying air and a means for recovering moisture from humid hot air in contact with the laundry. At the time of the process, by closing the inner lid and rotating the washing and dewatering tub or the rotating blades, the air flowing toward the outside of the tub by centrifugal force can be introduced into the washing and dewatering tub without using a conventional blower. Since a flow is generated, this can form a circulating flow of air circulating between the heating means and the water tank. Therefore, the cost can be reduced without reducing the hot air circulation performance. Then, the circulating flow is closed, but no problem occurs because the water is recovered by the water recovery means.

回収手段で水分が回収されるから支障は生じない。Second, a washing and dewatering tub having an open upper surface is rotatably disposed in a water tub supported in the outer box, and a rotating blade is disposed at the bottom of the washing and dewatering tub. In a washing / drying machine provided with a means for heating laundry drying air and a means for collecting moisture from humid hot air in contact with the laundry, rotating the washing machine / dewatering tub or the rotating blade during a drying step, Since a circulating flow from the heating means to the heating means through the washing and dewatering tub and the water recovery means was formed, during the drying process, the washing and dewatering tub or the rotating blades were rotated to provide a conventional blower. Even if not used, the air flowing into the washing and dewatering tub from the upper opening of the water tub and the washing and dewatering tub generates a flow toward the outside of the tub by centrifugal force in the washing and dewatering tub. Circulate between the heating means and the water tank It can form a circulating flow of air. Therefore, the cost can be reduced without reducing the hot air circulation performance. Then, the circulating flow is closed, but no problem occurs because the water is recovered by the water recovery means.

であったダクトが不要となる。Ninth, an intake port and an exhaust port for the hot air heated by the heating means are provided in the water tank, and the hot air intake port of the water tank is opposed to the exhaust port for the hot air of the heating means at a separated position. The exhaust port of the water tank is opposed to the hot air intake port of the heating means at a separated position, so that the respective intake ports and exhaust ports of the heating means and the water tank are in a non-contact state, and a conventionally required duct. Becomes unnecessary.
【００２５】そして、吸気口と排気口とが非接触状態で
あっても両者は対向させて位置させたから、温風を効率
よく排気口から吸気口に送ることができ、温風の漏れを
防止できる。Even when the intake port and the exhaust port are not in contact with each other, they are positioned so as to face each other, so that hot air can be efficiently sent from the exhaust port to the intake port, thereby preventing leakage of hot air. it can.
