如圖9、10中以白底箭號、白底虛線箭號所示，內槽9內的空氣係藉由乾燥單元60的乾燥用風扇64，由洗滌槽上部的外槽蓋14的貫穿孔158被取入至外槽蓋14的內部的循環風路18(參照圖9)，經由循環風路18而到達空氣排出口145。到達空氣排出口145的空氣係經由蛇腹管29b(參照圖9)，流入至空氣導管66(66c)(參照圖6)。如圖5中以虛線箭號所示，流入至空氣導管66的空氣係由左而右(由66c經由66a而至66d)移動而由大致三角形狀部分66d的上部的空氣出口(未圖示)被排出。 As shown by arrows on a white background and dashed arrows on a white background as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the air in the inner tank 9 is passed through the through hole of the outer tank cover 14 in the upper part of the washing tank by a drying fan 64 of the drying unit 60. 158 is taken into the circulation air path 18 (see FIG. 9) inside the outer tank cover 14, and reaches the air exhaust port 145 through the circulation air path 18. Reaching the air outlet 145 The air system flows into the air duct 66 (66c) through the bellows tube 29b (see FIG. 9) (see FIG. 6). As indicated by a dashed arrow in FIG. 5, the air flowing into the air duct 66 moves from left to right (from 66c to 66d through 66a to 66d) and passes through an air outlet (not shown) at the upper portion of the substantially triangular shaped portion 66d. Be discharged.

如圖8所示，由空氣導管66被排出的空氣係經由乾燥過濾器(未圖示)，由下側流入至乾燥單元上部導管61。如圖11所示，流入至乾燥單元上部導管61的空氣係藉由乾燥用風扇64被送風至加熱器62且被加熱。 As shown in FIG. 8, the air discharged from the air duct 66 flows into the upper duct 61 of the drying unit from the lower side through a drying filter (not shown). As shown in FIG. 11, the air flowing into the upper duct 61 of the drying unit is blown to the heater 62 by the drying fan 64 and heated.

如圖11、4所示，乾燥單元上部導管61之以加熱器62被加熱的空氣係經由乾燥導管22、蛇腹管29d，如圖9中以上下方向之白底箭號所示，經由溫風導入口146，如圖4中以白底箭號所示，被放出至內槽9內。如圖5中以白底箭號所示，被放出至內槽9內的空氣係接觸內槽9內之(脈動翼盤11上之)洗滌物C而將洗滌物加溫。 As shown in FIGS. 11 and 4, the air heated by the heater 62 in the upper duct 61 of the drying unit passes through the drying duct 22 and the bellows 29d, as shown by the white arrow in the up and down direction in FIG. The introduction port 146 is released into the inner groove 9 as indicated by an arrow on a white background in FIG. 4. As shown by the white arrow in FIG. 5, the air released into the inner tank 9 contacts the laundry C in the inner tank 9 (on the pulsating wing plate 11) to warm the laundry.

將洗滌物加溫的空氣係若洗劑液或水等被盛滿在內槽9內時，無法通過外槽10下部之通水通氣口(未圖示)地，被導入至內槽9的空氣推擠而沿著內槽9或外槽10的內面上升。到達洗滌槽上部的外槽蓋14(內蓋23)的空氣係如圖9中以白底箭號所示，流入至外槽蓋14的貫穿孔158。接著，經由前述同樣的路徑，藉由加熱器62被再度加熱。如上所示空氣作循環。 If the air system for warming the laundry is filled with lotion liquid or water, it cannot be introduced into the inner tank 9 through the water vent (not shown) at the bottom of the outer tank 10 The air is pushed and rises along the inner surface of the inner groove 9 or the outer groove 10. The air reaching the outer tank cover 14 (inner cover 23) at the upper part of the washing tank flows into the through hole 158 of the outer tank cover 14 as indicated by the white arrow in FIG. 9. Then, it is heated again by the heater 62 via the same path as described above. Air is circulated as shown above.

接著，說明洗滌物乾燥時的空氣流。 Next, the air flow when the laundry is dried will be described.

洗滌物乾燥時，在內槽9內並不存在洗劑液或洗滌水等，因此藉由乾燥單元60的乾燥用風扇64，空氣係由外槽10下部的通水通氣口(未圖示)被排出。由通水通氣口被排出的空氣係經由接頭16、蛇腹管68而被取入至空氣導管66(參照圖4)。 When the laundry is dried, there is no lotion liquid, washing water, etc. in the inner tank 9. Therefore, with the drying fan 64 of the drying unit 60, air is passed through a water vent (not shown) at the lower part of the outer tank 10. Be discharged. The air discharged through the water-ventilation port is taken into the air duct 66 via the joint 16 and the bellows 68 (see FIG. 4).

流入至空氣導管66的空氣係一邊由下而上在第1部分66a移動，一邊以內部的冷水除濕部予以除濕。空氣係在由與冷卻水的接觸脫離後，由大致三角形狀部分66d的上部的空氣出口(未圖示)被排出(參照圖5)。 The air flowing into the air duct 66 is dehumidified by the internal cold water dehumidifier while moving in the first portion 66a from the bottom up. After the air is released from contact with the cooling water, it is discharged through an air outlet (not shown) at the upper portion of the substantially triangular shaped portion 66d (see FIG. 5).

由空氣導管66被排出的空氣係與洗滌開始前之洗滌物預熱時同樣地移動，而被放出至內槽9內(參照圖6、8、9、11)。被放出至內槽9內的空氣係接觸內槽9內的洗滌物而使洗滌物的水分形成為水蒸氣而蒸發後，連同水蒸氣一起再次由通水通氣口被排出。 The air discharged from the air duct 66 moves in the same manner as when the laundry before the washing starts to warm up, and is discharged into the inner tank 9 (see FIGS. 6, 8, 9, and 11). The air discharged into the inner tank 9 contacts the laundry in the inner tank 9 to form water vapor of the laundry and evaporate, and then is discharged together with the water vapor through the water vent hole.

使洗滌物乾燥的空氣與水蒸氣係由外槽10下部的通水通氣口(未圖示)被排出，經由前述同樣的路徑，藉由加熱器62被再度加熱。如上所示空氣作循環。 The air and water vapor for drying the laundry are discharged through a water vent (not shown) at the lower portion of the outer tank 10, and are heated again by the heater 62 through the same path as described above. Air is circulated as shown above.

由於在外槽蓋14設置空氣排出口145，因此構造上較為簡單且製造容易。由於空氣排出口145位於洗滌槽的上部，此外，空氣排出口145在洗滌槽未直接形成開口，因此水不易進入至空氣導管66等。 Since the air outlet 145 is provided in the outer tank cover 14, the structure is relatively simple and the manufacturing is easy. Since the air discharge port 145 is located at the upper part of the washing tank, and the air discharge port 145 does not form an opening directly in the washing tank, water does not easily enter the air duct 66 and the like.

〔霧氣〕 [Mist]

如圖9所示，在外槽蓋14中，在來自乾燥單元60的空氣的吐出口係裝設有將金屬細線織成為大致半球的網狀而成的霧網80(微細化構件)。接著，如圖8、11所示，在霧網80的上方，由乾燥單元上部導管61，霧噴嘴70朝向下方突出。霧噴嘴70係例如構成為內徑為約1.5mm的圓筒狀，透過霧管4b而與給水電磁閥4相連接。 As shown in FIG. 9, in the outer tank cover 14, The air discharge port is provided with a mist net 80 (a miniaturized member) formed by weaving metal fine threads into a substantially hemispherical mesh. Next, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 11, above the mist net 80, the mist nozzle 70 projects downward from the drying unit upper duct 61. The mist nozzle 70 is configured, for example, in a cylindrical shape having an inner diameter of about 1.5 mm, and is connected to the water supply solenoid valve 4 through the mist tube 4b.

若自來水透過霧管4b而被供給至霧噴嘴70時，由霧噴嘴70朝向下方被噴射的自來水會衝撞霧網80，自來水進行微細化(霧化)而被散佈在內槽9內。因此，霧噴嘴70與霧網80係構成霧氣散佈裝置。在此，霧網80的網格係以比設在連接口4a(參照圖2)的內部的給水過濾器(未圖示)為更粗為宜。藉此，可防止霧網80因自來水中的無用物而阻塞的情形。此外，藉由在霧噴嘴70的下方配置霧網80，由霧噴嘴70被噴射的水係在藉由重力加速度被加速後衝撞到霧網80。藉此，可更加促進水的微細化。 When the tap water is supplied to the mist nozzle 70 through the mist pipe 4b, the tap water sprayed downward from the mist nozzle 70 collides with the mist net 80, and the tap water is refined (atomized) and dispersed in the inner tank 9. Therefore, the mist nozzle 70 and the mist net 80 constitute a mist distribution device. Here, the mesh system of the mist net 80 is preferably thicker than a water supply filter (not shown) provided inside the connection port 4a (see FIG. 2). This can prevent the fog net 80 from being blocked by useless objects in the tap water. In addition, by arranging the mist net 80 below the mist nozzle 70, the water system sprayed by the mist nozzle 70 collides with the mist net 80 after being accelerated by the acceleration of gravity. This can further promote the miniaturization of water.

以經微細化的水(霧氣)的用途而言，列舉例如以下2點。 The use of the finely divided water (mist) is exemplified by the following two points.

‧用途1：在將洗滌物洗滌的初期階段，藉由散佈霧氣來使洗滌物弄濕，使得洗滌物的髒污容易掉落。 ‧Use 1: In the initial stage of washing the laundry, the laundry is wetted by spreading mist, so that the dirt of the laundry is easily dropped.

‧用途2：在使洗滌後的洗滌物乾燥時，一邊藉由散佈霧氣，使洗滌物弄濕，一邊對洗滌物吹風，藉此去掉洗滌物的皺摺。 ‧Use 2: When drying the washed laundry, while spraying the laundry with wet mist, the laundry is blown to remove the wrinkles of the laundry.

〔控制裝置〕〔Control Device〕

本實施形態之洗滌乾燥機100係以微電腦40(微電腦)予以控制。 The washing and drying machine 100 of this embodiment is controlled by a microcomputer 40 (microcomputer).

Among them, if there is no setting, the standard washing / drying schedule or the previously executed washing / drying schedule is automatically set. For example, if the user operates the key switch, the "washing and drying stroke" is set.

微電腦40係判定是否藉由操作按鍵開關的操作被指示運轉開始(步驟S3)。 The microcomputer 40 determines whether or not the operation is instructed to start by the operation of an operation key switch (step S3).

微電腦40係反覆步驟S3，至藉由操作按鍵開關的操作被指示運轉開始為止(步驟S3中為No)，一被指示運轉開始，即進至步驟S4(步驟S3中為Yes)。微電腦40係首先實施布量感測(步驟S4)。布量感測係例如使內槽9以低速旋轉，或使其加速至規定的旋轉速度，由此時的驅動裝置13的電動機的電流值進行測定。 The microcomputer 40 repeats step S3 until the operation is instructed to start by the operation of the key switch (No in step S3). When the operation is instructed to start, the process proceeds to step S4 (yes in step S3). The microcomputer 40 first performs cloth amount sensing (step S4). The cloth amount sensing system measures the current value of the motor of the drive device 13 at this time by rotating the inner tank 9 at a low speed or accelerating it to a predetermined rotation speed.

In addition, the user puts a softening finishing agent into the lotion / finishing agent container 28 as needed.

微電腦40係生成高濃度洗劑液(步驟S5)。 The microcomputer 40 generates a high-concentration lotion (step S5).

微電腦40係打開給水電磁閥4，且給水至洗劑/整理劑容器28，將固體洗劑溶解，或將液體洗劑稀釋，而生成高濃度洗劑液。其中，所生成的高濃度洗劑液係被蓄留在洗滌槽(參照圖2)。 The microcomputer 40 opens the water supply solenoid valve 4 and supplies water to the lotion / finishing agent container 28 to dissolve the solid lotion or dilute the liquid lotion to generate a high-concentration lotion solution. Among them, the generated high-concentration lotion solution is stored In the sink (see Figure 2).

微電腦40係使驅動裝置13的電動機旋轉，以脈動翼盤11的內葉片11b來攪拌內槽9內。藉由內葉片11b被攪拌的高濃度洗劑液係在形成在內槽9的內周面的循環流路9c上升，由吐出口9d被吐出至內槽9內。吐出口9d係位於內槽9的上部，因此高濃度洗劑液係由洗滌物的上部被散佈至洗滌物，而浸透至洗滌物(步驟S7)。 The microcomputer 40 rotates the motor of the driving device 13 and agitates the inside of the inner tank 9 by pulsating the inner blades 11 b of the wing disc 11. The high-concentration lotion liquid agitated by the inner blade 11b rises on the circulation flow path 9c formed on the inner peripheral surface of the inner tank 9, and is discharged into the inner tank 9 through the discharge port 9d. Since the discharge port 9d is located at the upper part of the inner tank 9, the high-concentration lotion liquid is spread from the upper part of the laundry to the laundry and penetrates into the laundry (step S7).

微電腦40係打開給水電磁閥4，使乾燥單元60的乾燥用風扇64旋轉，使加熱器62作動，而將高速的風吹入至內槽9內，並且透過霧管4b而對霧噴嘴70供給自來水，且將自來水進行溫水霧化而散佈至洗滌物(步驟S8)。 The microcomputer 40 opens the water supply solenoid valve 4 and rotates the drying fan 64 of the drying unit 60 to operate the heater 62 to blow high-speed wind into the inner tank 9 and supply tap water to the mist nozzle 70 through the mist pipe 4b.

清洗運轉結束後，微電腦40係打開排水閥16，在將外槽10內的沖洗水排水後，驅動驅動裝置13的電動機而使內槽9以高速旋轉，藉此將洗滌物進行離心脫水(步驟S16)。 After the cleaning operation is completed, the microcomputer 40 opens the drain valve 16 and drains the flushing water in the outer tank 10, and then drives the motor of the driving device 13 to rotate the inner tank 9 at a high speed, thereby dehydrating the laundry by centrifugation. S16).

微電腦40係判定在步驟S2中被選擇出的行程是否為包含乾燥的行程(步驟S17)。 The microcomputer 40 determines whether or not the stroke selected in step S2 includes a dry stroke (step S17).

若在步驟S2中被選擇出的行程為包含乾燥的行程(步驟S17中為Yes)，進至步驟S18，執行乾燥運轉(步驟S17)。 If the stroke selected in step S2 is a stroke including drying (Yes in step S17), the process proceeds to step S18 and a drying operation is performed (step S17).

若在步驟S2中被選擇出的行程為不包含乾燥的行程(步驟S17中為No)，即結束運轉(步驟S17)。 If the stroke selected in step S2 is a stroke that does not include drying (No in step S17), the operation is terminated (step S17).

在乾燥運轉中，微電腦40係一邊使內槽9以低速旋轉，一邊使乾燥單元60的乾燥用風扇64以高速旋轉驅動，通電至加熱器62，將高速的溫風吹入至內槽9內而使洗滌物的溫度上升，且使水分由洗滌物蒸發。此外，微電腦40係打開給水電磁閥4，對空氣導管66的冷水除濕部供給冷卻水。含有由洗滌物所蒸發的水分的高溫多濕的空氣係以空氣導管66的冷水除濕部予以除濕。 During the drying operation, the microcomputer 40 rotates the inner tank 9 at a low speed, and drives the drying fan 64 of the drying unit 60 to rotate at a high speed, energizes the heater 62, and blows high-speed warm air into the inner tank 9. The temperature of the laundry was raised, and water was evaporated from the laundry. In addition, the microcomputer 40 opens the water supply solenoid valve 4 and supplies cooling water to the cold water dehumidifier of the air duct 66. The high-temperature and humid air containing the water evaporated by the laundry is dehumidified by the cold water dehumidifier of the air duct 66.

乾燥完成的偵測係以溫度感測器(未圖示)進行，微電腦40係一偵測到洗滌物乾燥，即結束乾燥運轉(步驟S18)。 The detection of the completion of drying is performed by a temperature sensor (not shown). As soon as the computer 40 detects that the laundry is dry, the drying operation is ended (step S18).

本實施形態之洗滌乾燥機100係在內槽9具備有循環流路9c，藉此即使未具備有使高濃度洗劑液作循環的泵，亦可使高濃度洗劑液作循環。本實施形態之洗滌乾燥機100係將洗滌槽(外槽10)與空氣導管66相連接來確保空氣的循環路徑，藉此即使未具備有使高濃度洗劑液作循環的泵，亦可將洗滌物以溫風加溫。此外，以高速的溫風將水進行溫水霧化，進行擴散噴霧而噴吹在洗滌物，因此配合高濃度洗劑液的散佈，亦均勻地遍佈至附著在洗滌物間隙的髒污或內槽9裡側的洗滌物，可形成為容易去除髒污的狀態。接著，進行給水來作洗滌運轉，因此可使洗淨力提升。 The washing and drying machine 100 according to this embodiment is provided with a circulation flow path 9c in the inner tank 9, whereby even if a pump for circulating a high-concentration lotion liquid is not provided, the high-concentration lotion liquid can be circulated. The washing and drying machine 100 of this embodiment connects the washing tank (outer tank 10) with the air duct 66 to ensure a circulation path of air, thereby enabling the pump to circulate a high-concentration lotion liquid without having a pump. The laundry was warmed with warm air. In addition, the water is atomized by warm water with high-speed warm air, and the spray is sprayed on the laundry by diffusion spray. Therefore, even with the dispersion of the high-concentration lotion liquid, it is evenly spread to the dirt or inside of the laundry. The laundry on the back side of the tank 9 can be formed in a state where dirt is easily removed. Next, the feed water is used for a washing operation, so that the washing power can be improved.

本實施形態之洗滌乾燥機100係具備有比循環泵為構造更為簡單的蛇腹管來確保空氣的循環路徑，此外，使用洗滌乾燥機所具備的送風手段來將水進行溫水霧化，因此不會有成本上升的情形，可以廉價的方法，提供獲得高洗淨力的洗滌乾燥機。 The washer-dryer 100 of this embodiment is provided with a bellows tube that is simpler in structure than a circulation pump to ensure the circulation path of air. In addition, the air is supplied by the washer-dryer means to warm the water. There is no cost increase, and a washing and drying machine capable of obtaining a high detergency can be provided at an inexpensive method.

其中，清洗(步驟S13至步驟S16)在圖13所示之流程圖中係進行2次，但是亦可進行「給水一清洗-脫水」之組合1次、或複數次。 Among them, the washing (step S13 to step S16) is performed twice in the flowchart shown in FIG. 13, but a combination of "water supply-washing-dehydration" may be performed once or multiple times.

<第2實施形態> <Second Embodiment>

一邊適當參照至此所說明的圖示，一邊說明第2實施形態。 The second implementation will be described with appropriate reference to the illustrations described so far form.

第2實施形態係在外槽10的上部後方側面設置空氣排出口101，藉由蛇腹管292與空氣導管66相連接的洗滌乾燥機。 The second embodiment is a washer-dryer in which an air outlet 101 is provided on the upper rear side surface of the outer tank 10 and connected to an air duct 66 via a bellows tube 292.

第2實施形態之外槽10係在上部後方側面之與空氣導管66相對向的位置具備有空氣排出口101。空氣排出口101的位置係以外槽10與空氣導管66的距離成為最短的位置為佳。空氣排出口101係形成在比洗滌開始前的洗劑液的液面更為上方的位置，亦即非浸沒位置。 The outer groove 10 of the second embodiment is provided with an air discharge port 101 at a position facing the air duct 66 on the upper rear side. The position of the air discharge port 101 is preferably the position where the distance between the outer groove 10 and the air duct 66 is the shortest. The air discharge port 101 is formed at a position higher than the liquid level of the lotion liquid before the start of washing, that is, a non-immersed position.

蛇腹管292係與例如第1實施形態的29b同樣地，由與空氣排出口101相連接的蛇腹部、與空氣導管66相連接的連接部、及其間的轉換部所構成。轉換部係具備有與空氣排出口101的連接成為同軸，且與空氣導管66的連接成為同軸的角度。 The bellows tube 292 is composed of a bellows connected to the air discharge port 101, a connection portion connected to the air duct 66, and a transition portion therebetween, similarly to, for example, 29b of the first embodiment.

〔通風路徑〕〔Ventilation path〕

一邊參考圖14，一邊說明第2實施形態中之通風路徑。 The ventilation path in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 14.

內槽9內的空氣係藉由乾燥單元60的乾燥用風扇64，由外槽10的上部後方側面的空氣排出口101經由蛇腹管292而流入至空氣導管66(66c)(參照圖14)。流入至空氣導管66的空氣係由左而右(由66c經由66a而至66d)移動而由大致三角形狀部分66d的上部的空氣出口(未圖示)被排出(參照圖5)。 The air in the inner tank 9 flows into the air duct 66 (66c) from the air exhaust port 101 on the upper rear side of the outer tank 10 through the bellows tube 292 by the drying fan 64 of the drying unit 60 (see FIG. 14). The air flowing into the air duct 66 is from left to right (from 66c through 66a To 66d), and is discharged through an air outlet (not shown) on the upper portion of the substantially triangular-shaped portion 66d (see FIG. 5).

由空氣導管66被排出的空氣係以與第1實施形態同樣的路徑流入至乾燥單元60而被乾燥。經乾燥的空氣係以與第1實施形態同樣的路徑被放出至內槽9內(參照圖4、5、9、11)。被放出至內槽9內的空氣係接觸內槽9內之(脈動翼盤11上之)洗滌物C而將洗滌物C加溫。 The air discharged through the air duct 66 flows into the drying unit 60 through the same path as the first embodiment and is dried. The dried air is discharged into the inner tank 9 through the same path as in the first embodiment (see FIGS. 4, 5, 9, and 11). The air discharged into the inner tank 9 contacts the laundry C in the inner tank 9 (on the pulsating wing plate 11) to warm the laundry C.

將洗滌物C加溫的空氣係若洗劑液或水等被盛滿在內槽9內時，無法通過外槽10下部的通水通氣口(未圖示)地，通過內槽9或貫穿孔9a而沿著外槽10的內面上升。到達至洗滌槽上部的內蓋23或外槽蓋14的空氣係沿著內蓋23(參照圖2)等的內面移動，且到達至外槽10的上部後方側面的空氣排出口101。接著，空氣與前述同樣地，經由蛇腹管292，藉由加熱器62被再度加熱。如上所示空氣作循環。 When the air system for warming the laundry C is filled with the lotion liquid or water, the inner tank 9 cannot pass through the water vent (not shown) at the lower part of the outer tank 10, pass through the inner tank 9 or pass through. The hole 9 a rises along the inner surface of the outer groove 10. The air reaching the inner cover 23 or the outer tank cover 14 on the upper part of the washing tank moves along the inner surface of the inner cover 23 (see FIG. 2) and the like, and reaches the air exhaust port 101 on the upper rear side surface of the outer tank 10. Next, the air is heated again by the heater 62 through the bellows tube 292 in the same manner as described above. Air is circulated as shown above.

洗滌物乾燥時的空氣流係與第1實施形態相同。 The air flow system when the laundry is dried is the same as that of the first embodiment.

藉由將空氣排出口101設置在外槽10的上部後方側面，由外槽10至空氣導管66的空氣的移動距離變短，送風阻力亦變小，因此能量效率或乾燥效率提升。 By providing the air discharge port 101 on the upper rear side of the outer tank 10, the moving distance of the air from the outer tank 10 to the air duct 66 becomes shorter, and the resistance to air supply is also reduced, so that energy efficiency or drying efficiency is improved.

<第3實施形態> <Third Embodiment>

一邊適當參照至此所說明的圖示，一邊說明第3實施形態。 The third embodiment will be described with appropriate reference to the illustrations described so far form.

第3實施形態係在洗劑/整理劑容器28的側面設置空氣排出口28a，藉由連接管681與空氣導管66相連接的洗滌乾燥機。 The third embodiment is a washer-dryer in which an air discharge port 28a is provided on the side of the lotion / finishing agent container 28, and is connected to the air duct 66 through a connection pipe 681.

空氣排出口28a係設在位於比洗滌槽較為上方的洗劑/整理劑容器28，形成在比洗滌開始前的洗劑液的液面更為上方的位置。第3實施形態的空氣排出口28a係形成在非浸沒位置。 The air discharge port 28a is provided in the lotion / finishing agent container 28 located above the washing tub, and is formed above the liquid level of the lotion liquid before the start of washing. The air discharge port 28a of the third embodiment is formed at a non-submerged position.

第3實施形態之洗劑/整理劑容器28與空氣導管66係以連接管681相連接。由於洗劑/整理劑容器28與外槽蓋14以蛇腹管相連接，因此第3實施形態亦可在空氣導管66與連接管681之間未具備有吸收因外槽10(洗滌槽)的擺動所致之位移的蛇腹管或蛇腹部。 The lotion / finishing agent container 28 and the air duct 66 of the third embodiment are connected by a connection pipe 681. Since the lotion / finishing agent container 28 and the outer tank cover 14 are connected by a bellows tube, the third embodiment may not be provided between the air duct 66 and the connection pipe 681 to absorb the swing of the outer tank 10 (washing tank). Displaced snake belly tube or snake belly.

〔通風路徑〕〔Ventilation path〕

一邊參考圖15，一邊說明第3實施形態中之通風路徑。 The ventilation path in the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 15.

內槽9內的空氣係藉由乾燥單元60的乾燥用風扇64，由洗劑/整理劑容器28的空氣排出口28a經由連接管681，流入至空氣導管66(66c)(參照圖15)。流入至空氣導管66的空氣係以與第1實施形態、第2實施形態同樣的手段、同樣的路徑被乾燥，而被放出至內槽9內 (參照圖4、5、9、11)。被放出至內槽9內的空氣係接觸內槽9內之(脈動翼盤11上之)洗滌物C來將洗滌物C加溫。 The air in the inner tank 9 flows into the air duct 66 (66c) from the air discharge port 28a of the lotion / finishing agent container 28 through the connection pipe 681 by the drying fan 64 of the drying unit 60 (see FIG. 15). The air flowing into the air duct 66 is dried by the same means and the same path as in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, and is discharged into the inner tank 9 (See Figures 4, 5, 9, 11). The air discharged into the inner tank 9 contacts the laundry C in the inner tank 9 (on the pulsating wing plate 11) to warm the laundry C.

將洗滌物C加溫的空氣係若洗劑液或水等被盛滿在內槽9內時，無法通過外槽10下部的通水通氣口(未圖示)地，通過內槽9或貫穿孔9a而沿著外槽10的內面上升。到達至洗滌槽上部的外槽蓋14(內蓋23)的空氣係沿著內蓋23(參照圖2)等的內面移動，且由蛇腹管29e流入至洗劑/整理劑容器28。接著，經由前述同樣的路徑，藉由加熱器62被再度加熱。如上所示空氣作循環。 When the air system for warming the laundry C is filled with the lotion liquid or water, the inner tank 9 cannot pass through the water vent (not shown) at the lower part of the outer tank 10, pass through the inner tank 9 or pass through. The hole 9 a rises along the inner surface of the outer groove 10. The air reaching the outer tank cover 14 (inner cover 23) at the upper part of the washing tank moves along the inner surface of the inner cover 23 (see FIG. 2) and the like, and flows into the lotion / finishing agent container 28 from the bellows tube 29e. Then, it is heated again by the heater 62 via the same path as described above. Air is circulated as shown above.

將洗劑/整理劑容器28與空氣導管66以連接管681相連接，藉此相較於在外槽蓋14或外槽10設置空氣排出口，可更容易設置空氣排出口，可達成製造成本的刪減。藉由形成為相較於蛇腹管為構造更為單純的連接管，亦被預估耐久性提升。由於可將空氣排出口與溫風導入口146分離，因此預估洗滌物的加溫效率提升。連接管的配置自由度亦高，因此可容易製造。 The lotion / finishing agent container 28 and the air duct 66 are connected by a connecting pipe 681, so that the air discharge port can be more easily provided than the air discharge port in the outer tank cover 14 or the outer tank 10, and the manufacturing cost can be achieved. Cut. It is also expected to have improved durability by being formed as a simpler connection tube than a bellows tube. Since the air outlet can be separated from the warm air inlet 146, it is estimated that the heating efficiency of the laundry is improved. The arrangement of the connecting pipe also has a high degree of freedom, so that it can be easily manufactured.
