Description

衣類乾燥機Clothes dryer
　本発明は、衣類を乾燥するための衣類乾燥機に関する。 The present invention relates to a clothes dryer for drying clothes.
　従来の衣類乾燥機は、図６に示すように、衣類を収容する回転ドラム１０を筐体１１内に設け、この回転ドラム１０を回転させることによって衣類を攪拌させるとともに、衣類に温風を当てることによって衣類を乾燥させる。また、衣類乾燥機は、筐体１１の前面１２に開口１３を有し、開口１３を通して、衣類が出し入れされる。また、この衣類乾燥機は、開口１３を閉じるドア１４を有する（例えば特許文献１参照）。 As shown in FIG. 6, the conventional clothes dryer is provided with a rotating drum 10 for housing clothes in a housing 11, and the rotating drum 10 is rotated to stir the clothes and apply hot air to the clothes. To dry the clothing. In addition, the clothes dryer has an opening 13 in the front surface 12 of the housing 11, and clothes are taken in and out through the opening 13. Moreover, this clothes dryer has the door 14 which closes the opening 13 (for example, refer patent document 1).
　従来の衣類乾燥機の、回転ドラム１０と開口１３とドア１４とは、ほぼ同心円で構成される。すなわち、開口１３の中心と、閉じたときのドア１４の中心とが、回転ドラム１０の回転軸Ａの延長線上に位置する。これにより、開口１３を大きく形成することができる。この結果、衣類の出し入れが容易となる。なお、特許文献１に開示された従来の衣類乾燥機の開口１３は、円の下部が一部切り取られた、いわゆるＤカット形状を有する。 In the conventional clothes dryer, the rotating drum 10, the opening 13, and the door 14 are substantially concentric circles. That is, the center of the opening 13 and the center of the door 14 when closed are located on an extension line of the rotation axis A of the rotary drum 10. Thereby, the opening 13 can be formed large. As a result, clothes can be taken in and out easily. In addition, the opening 13 of the conventional clothes dryer disclosed by patent document 1 has what is called a D cut shape from which the lower part of the circle was partly cut off.
　衣類乾燥機の消費電力を低減させるために、温風を生成するための熱源として、ヒーターに替えてヒートポンプ装置が用いられる場合がある。ヒートポンプ装置は大きく、かつ重いため、通常は筐体１１内の下方に配設される。一方、衣類乾燥機の回転ドラム１０は、衣類を多く収容可能とするために大きくする必要があり、回転ドラム１０の直径が大きくなる。このため、回転ドラム１０の下端より下の空間が狭くなる。従って、特許文献１に記載の衣類乾燥機において、筐体１１内の下方にヒートポンプ装置を配設した場合、回転ドラム１０の位置を上方に移動させる必要がある。また、ヒートポンプ装置を用いない場合であっても、温風を生成する効率を向上させるために、回転ドラム１０の下に充分な空間を必要とする場合がある。さらに、衣類の出し入れを容易とするために、開口１３の中心と回転ドラム１０の中心とは、一致することが望ましい。 In order to reduce the power consumption of the clothes dryer, a heat pump device may be used in place of the heater as a heat source for generating warm air. Since the heat pump device is large and heavy, the heat pump device is usually disposed below the housing 11. On the other hand, the rotary drum 10 of the clothes dryer needs to be enlarged in order to accommodate a large amount of clothes, and the diameter of the rotary drum 10 increases. For this reason, the space below the lower end of the rotating drum 10 becomes narrow. Therefore, in the clothes dryer disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the heat pump device is disposed in the lower part of the housing 11, it is necessary to move the position of the rotary drum 10 upward. Even when the heat pump device is not used, there may be a case where a sufficient space is required under the rotating drum 10 in order to improve the efficiency of generating warm air. Furthermore, it is desirable that the center of the opening 13 and the center of the rotating drum 10 coincide with each other in order to facilitate putting in and out of clothing.
　しかしながら、筐体１１の前面１２の上部には操作部１６が配設されるため、回転ドラム１０の上方への移動に合わせて、開口１３を上方に移動させることは困難である。従って、開口１３の中心と回転ドラム１０の中心とを一致させるには、開口１３の円形を小さくする必要がある。これにより、衣類の出し入れが容易ではなくなるという可能性が生じる。 However, since the operation unit 16 is disposed on the upper portion of the front surface 12 of the casing 11, it is difficult to move the opening 13 upward in accordance with the upward movement of the rotary drum 10. Therefore, in order to make the center of the opening 13 coincide with the center of the rotary drum 10, it is necessary to reduce the circular shape of the opening 13. This creates the possibility that clothes will not be easily taken in and out.

　回転ドラム２３は、モータ２６の力がプーリ２７やベルト２８を介して回転ドラム２３に伝わることによって、回転する。モータ２６は、さらに、プーリ２９やベルト３０を介して、ファン３１を回転させる。 The rotating drum 23 rotates when the force of the motor 26 is transmitted to the rotating drum 23 via the pulley 27 and the belt 28. The motor 26 further rotates the fan 31 via the pulley 29 and the belt 30.
　回転ドラム２３の下方の筐体２１の底面には、温風生成装置としてのヒートポンプ装置３２が配設される。ヒートポンプ装置３２は、圧縮機３３、凝縮器３４、蒸発器３５等を配管で連通させることによって構成され、内部には冷媒が循環する。 A heat pump device 32 as a hot air generating device is disposed on the bottom surface of the casing 21 below the rotating drum 23. The heat pump device 32 is configured by connecting a compressor 33, a condenser 34, an evaporator 35, and the like through piping, and a refrigerant circulates therein.
　また、ファン３１が動作することにより、筐体２１内には矢印Ｆで示すような空気の流れが発生する。蒸発器３５によって除湿された空気は、凝縮器３４によって加熱され、乾燥した温風となる。この温風が、乾燥ダクト３６を通って、回転ドラム２３の内部に入る。回転ドラム２３の回転によって撹拌する衣類に、この温風が当たることにより、衣類が乾燥する。 Further, when the fan 31 operates, an air flow as indicated by an arrow F is generated in the housing 21. The air dehumidified by the evaporator 35 is heated by the condenser 34 to become dry hot air. The warm air passes through the drying duct 36 and enters the rotary drum 23. When the warm air hits the clothes to be stirred by the rotation of the rotary drum 23, the clothes are dried.
　衣類を乾燥させた温風は、ドア２４の背面に設けられたフィルタ部３７へ流れ込み、開口２２の側壁に形成した通風口２２ａを介して再びヒートポンプ装置３２に戻る。衣類を乾燥させた温風は、温度が下がるとともに、衣類から放出された水分を含む。すなわち、衣類を乾燥させた温風は、低温でかつ高湿な空気となる。この低温でかつ高湿な空気は、ヒートポンプ装置３２によって、再び、乾燥した温風となり、回転ドラム２３へ送られる。このようにして、空気が循環する。 The warm air that has dried the clothes flows into the filter portion 37 provided on the back surface of the door 24 and returns to the heat pump device 32 again through the vent 22 a formed in the side wall of the opening 22. The warm air that dries the clothing contains moisture released from the clothing as the temperature drops. That is, the warm air that dries the clothes becomes low-temperature and high-humidity air. The low-temperature and high-humidity air becomes dry hot air again by the heat pump device 32 and is sent to the rotary drum 23. In this way, air circulates.
　図３は、本実施の形態の衣類乾燥機２０を正面から見た模式図である。回転ドラム２３（図において破線で示す）は、その下方にヒートポンプ装置３２を含む温風生成装置が配設されるため、筐体２１の内部において、上方に配設される。例えば、回転ドラム２３の頂部Ｔは筐体２１の天板３８の近傍に位置し、回転ドラム２３の頂部Ｔの前方には、操作部２５が位置する。開口２２の中心Ｃ２２は、図２に示す回転ドラム２３の回転軸Ａ上にほぼ位置する。すなわち、回転ドラム２３の回転軸Ａである回転ドラム２３の中心Ｃ２３は、開口２２の中心Ｃ２２とほぼ一致する。 FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the clothes dryer 20 of the present embodiment as viewed from the front. The rotating drum 23 (shown by a broken line in the drawing) is disposed above the inside of the housing 21 because the hot air generating device including the heat pump device 32 is disposed below the rotating drum 23. For example, the top portion T of the rotating drum 23 is positioned in the vicinity of the top plate 38 of the casing 21, and the operation unit 25 is positioned in front of the top portion T of the rotating drum 23. The center C22 of the opening 22 is substantially located on the rotation axis A of the rotary drum 23 shown in FIG. That is, the center C23 of the rotating drum 23, which is the rotation axis A of the rotating drum 23, substantially coincides with the center C22 of the opening 22.
　図４Ａ～図４Ｄは、回転ドラムと開口との位置関係を説明する説明図である。 4A to 4D are explanatory diagrams for explaining the positional relationship between the rotating drum and the opening.
　なお、図４Ａ～図４Ｄでは、より多くの衣類が乾燥できるように、筐体の内部に収納できる範囲で、回転ドラムを極力大きくしている。また、図４Ａ、図４Ｂでは、衣類の出し入れが容易にでき、かつ、ドアが開いている状態で回転ドラム内の衣類が開口からこぼれ落ちない程度に、円形の開口を極力大きくしている。 In FIGS. 4A to 4D, the rotating drum is made as large as possible within a range that can be stored in the housing so that more clothes can be dried. 4A and 4B, the circular opening is made as large as possible so that the clothes can be easily taken in and out and the clothes in the rotating drum are not spilled from the opening when the door is open.
　図４Ａ～図４Ｄにおいては、衣類乾燥機のドアを取り除いた状態を図示する。図４Ａに示すように、回転ドラム２３の下方に、ヒートポンプ装置等の大きな温風生成装置が無い場合は、回転ドラム２３を筐体２１内部の中央付近に配設することができる。開口２２０は、その中心が、回転ドラム２３の中心Ｃ２３とほぼ一致する位置に形成される。なお、この場合は、操作部２５の後方に回転ドラム２３が位置しないように回転ドラム２３を配置することができる。 4A to 4D show a state where the door of the clothes dryer is removed. As shown in FIG. 4A, when there is no large hot air generating device such as a heat pump device below the rotating drum 23, the rotating drum 23 can be disposed near the center inside the housing 21. The opening 220 is formed at a position where the center thereof substantially coincides with the center C23 of the rotary drum 23. In this case, the rotating drum 23 can be arranged so that the rotating drum 23 is not positioned behind the operation unit 25.
　一方、本実施の形態の衣類乾燥機のように、回転ドラム２３の下方に、ヒートポンプ装置等の大きな温風生成装置が配設される場合は、回転ドラム２３を筐体２１内部の上部に配設する必要がある。しかしながら、図４Ｂに示すように、筐体２１の前面の上部には操作部２５が配設されるため、回転ドラム２３の中心Ｃ２３と開口２２０の中心とをほぼ一致させて開口２２０を形成することは困難である。すなわち、回転ドラム２３に合わせて開口２２０を形成しようとすると、操作部２５と開口２２０とが干渉する。現実には、開口２２０を閉じるドアは、開口２２０よりも大きいため、さらに操作部２５との干渉が増す。 On the other hand, when a large hot air generating device such as a heat pump device is disposed below the rotating drum 23 as in the clothes dryer of the present embodiment, the rotating drum 23 is arranged at the upper part inside the housing 21. It is necessary to install. However, as shown in FIG. 4B, since the operation unit 25 is disposed at the upper part of the front surface of the casing 21, the opening 220 is formed so that the center C23 of the rotating drum 23 and the center of the opening 220 are substantially aligned. It is difficult. That is, when the opening 220 is formed in accordance with the rotating drum 23, the operation unit 25 and the opening 220 interfere with each other. Actually, since the door that closes the opening 220 is larger than the opening 220, interference with the operation unit 25 is further increased.
　従って、図４Ｃに示すように、開口２２０の直径を小さくする必要がある。これにより、操作部２５と開口２２０との干渉を避けることができる。しかしながら、この場合、開口２２０が小さくなるため、衣類の出し入れが困難となる。 Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the diameter of the opening 220 as shown in FIG. 4C. Thereby, interference with the operation part 25 and the opening 220 can be avoided. However, in this case, since the opening 220 is small, it is difficult to put in and out the clothing.
　そこで、本実施の形態の衣類乾燥機は、図４Ｄに示すように、開口２２が略四角形の形状を有する。具体的には、開口２２０（破線で示す）を、筐体２１の四隅に向かって（例えば、斜め４５度の方向に）延出させて、略四角形の開口２２とする。この構成により、開口２２が大きくなり、衣類の出し入れが容易となる。 Therefore, in the clothes dryer of the present embodiment, the opening 22 has a substantially rectangular shape as shown in FIG. 4D. Specifically, the opening 220 (indicated by a broken line) is extended toward the four corners of the housing 21 (for example, in the direction of 45 degrees obliquely) to form a substantially rectangular opening 22. With this configuration, the opening 22 is enlarged, and clothes can be taken in and out easily.
　ここで、略四角形とは、厳密な正方形や長方形に限らず、人が、円形ではなく四角形と認識する程度の形状を含む。 Here, the “substantially square” is not limited to a strict square or rectangle, but includes a shape that a person recognizes as a square instead of a circle.
　図５Ａ～図５Ｆは、開口の形状を説明する説明図である。図５Ａに示すように、開口２２の形状は、四角形の辺が直線ではなく、曲線であってもよい。また、図５Ｂに示すように、開口２２の形状は、四角形の頂点が尖った角ではなく、丸みを帯びた頂点であっても良い。また、図５Ｃに示すように、開口２２の形状は、最も大きな曲率を有する曲率部Ｒ１が４つ存在するため、略四角形と認識される。すなわち、図５Ｃに示す開口２２の形状は、四角形の辺に相当する部分の線の曲率は曲率部Ｒ１の曲率よりも小さい。また、図５Ｄおよび図５Ｅに示すように、開口２２の形状は、最も大きな曲率を有する曲率部Ｒ１が２つ存在し、かつ、２番目に大きな曲率を有する曲率部Ｒ２が２つ存在するため、略四角形と認識される。図５Ｄおよび図５Ｅに示すように、開口２２は、左右に対称の形状であっても、上下に非対称の形状であっても良い。なお、図５Ｆの比較説明図に示すように、開口２２０の形状は、最も大きな曲率を有する曲率部Ｒ１が２つ存在するものの、２番目に大きな曲率を有する曲率部Ｒ２が１つのみ存在するため、略四角形と認識されない。 5A to 5F are explanatory views for explaining the shape of the opening. As shown in FIG. 5A, the shape of the opening 22 may be a curved line instead of a straight line. Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the shape of the opening 22 may be a rounded apex instead of a corner having a quadrangular apex. Further, as shown in FIG. 5C, the shape of the opening 22 is recognized as a substantially square shape because there are four curvature portions R1 having the largest curvature. That is, in the shape of the opening 22 shown in FIG. 5C, the curvature of the line corresponding to the side of the rectangle is smaller than the curvature of the curvature portion R1. Further, as shown in FIGS. 5D and 5E, the shape of the opening 22 includes two curvature portions R1 having the largest curvature and two curvature portions R2 having the second largest curvature. , Recognized as a substantially square. As shown in FIGS. 5D and 5E, the opening 22 may have a symmetrical shape on the left and right or an asymmetric shape on the top and bottom. As shown in the comparative explanatory diagram of FIG. 5F, the shape of the opening 220 has only one curvature portion R2 having the second largest curvature, although there are two curvature portions R1 having the largest curvature. Therefore, it is not recognized as a substantially square shape.
　さらに、図１～図３に示すように、開口２２は、開口２２の中心Ｃ２２が、ドア２４の中心Ｃ２４よりも高い位置になるように形成されている。少なくとも、開口２２の上下方向の中心は、ドア２４の上下方向の中心よりも高い位置にある。すなわち、ドア２４の配設位置が、回転ドラム２３の配設位置に影響されない。これにより、大きなドア２４を配設することができる。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the opening 22 is formed such that the center C22 of the opening 22 is higher than the center C24 of the door 24. At least the vertical center of the opening 22 is higher than the vertical center of the door 24. That is, the arrangement position of the door 24 is not affected by the arrangement position of the rotary drum 23. Thereby, the big door 24 can be arrange | positioned.
　さらに、回転ドラム２３の回転軸Ａの方向は水平に対して傾斜しても良いが、図１および図２に示すように、回転ドラム２３の回転軸Ａの方向は、水平方向とすることができる。回転ドラム２３の回転軸Ａが水平の場合、衣類の出し入れが困難となり易い。また、回転ドラム２３の回転軸Ａが水平の場合、立った状態の人にとって、開口２２から回転ドラム２３の内部（すなわち、衣類）が見難い。本実施の形態の衣類乾燥機２０は、回転ドラム２３の回転軸Ａが水平であっても、開口２２が大きいため、衣類の出し入れが容易であるとともに、立った状態の人にとって、開口２２から回転ドラム２３の内部（すなわち、衣類）が見易い。なお、本実施の形態における水平とは、厳密な水平のみではなく、設計上もしくは設置上の誤差を含む。 Further, the direction of the rotation axis A of the rotary drum 23 may be inclined with respect to the horizontal, but as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the direction of the rotation axis A of the rotary drum 23 may be the horizontal direction. it can. When the rotation axis A of the rotary drum 23 is horizontal, it is difficult to put clothes in and out. Further, when the rotation axis A of the rotating drum 23 is horizontal, it is difficult for a standing person to see the inside of the rotating drum 23 (that is, clothing) from the opening 22. The clothes dryer 20 of the present embodiment has a large opening 22 even when the rotation axis A of the rotary drum 23 is horizontal, so that clothes can be easily taken in and out, and for a standing person from the opening 22 The inside of the rotating drum 23 (that is, clothing) is easy to see. Note that the horizontal in this embodiment includes not only exact horizontal but also errors in design or installation.
　さらに、図１および図２に示すように、ドア２４の背面に、開口２２と略同形状のフィルタ部３７を配設させることができる。フィルタ部３７は、ドア２４を閉めた際に、シール部材（図示せず）を介して、開口２２に嵌合する。フィルタ部３７は、例えば、開口２２と略同形状のフィルタケースと、このフィルタケース内に着脱可能に装着されるフィルタ本体とから構成される。乾燥中の衣類からは、糸屑が大量に発生する。糸屑は温風に混入して流れるため、凝縮器３４や蒸発器３５などの狭い通路に付着する。糸屑の付着によって、凝縮器３４や蒸発器３５を通過する空気の流れにとって圧力損失が増大し、温風の流れが阻害される。また、凝縮器３４や蒸発器３５の熱交換の効率が低下する。糸屑がフィルタ部３７によって捕集されることにより、凝縮器３４や蒸発器３５などの狭い通路に糸屑が付着しにくくなり、温風の流れが阻害されず、熱交換の効率の低下が抑制される。フィルタ部３７自体の圧力損失を低減させるために、フィルタ部３７は大きいことが望ましい。開口２２は面積が大きいため、開口２２と略同形状のフィルタ部３７の面積も大きくすることができる。これにより、フィルタ部３７の圧力損失を小さくすることができる。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a filter portion 37 having substantially the same shape as the opening 22 can be disposed on the back surface of the door 24. When the door 24 is closed, the filter unit 37 is fitted into the opening 22 via a seal member (not shown). For example, the filter unit 37 includes a filter case having substantially the same shape as the opening 22 and a filter body that is detachably mounted in the filter case. A large amount of lint is generated from the clothes being dried. Since the yarn waste flows mixed with warm air, it adheres to narrow passages such as the condenser 34 and the evaporator 35. Due to the attachment of the yarn waste, the pressure loss increases with respect to the air flow passing through the condenser 34 and the evaporator 35, and the flow of hot air is obstructed. Further, the efficiency of heat exchange between the condenser 34 and the evaporator 35 is reduced. By collecting the yarn waste by the filter unit 37, it becomes difficult for the yarn waste to adhere to a narrow passage such as the condenser 34 and the evaporator 35, the flow of warm air is not hindered, and the efficiency of heat exchange is reduced. It is suppressed. In order to reduce the pressure loss of the filter unit 37 itself, the filter unit 37 is desirably large. Since the opening 22 has a large area, the area of the filter portion 37 having substantially the same shape as the opening 22 can also be increased. Thereby, the pressure loss of the filter part 37 can be made small.
　また、本実施の形態における衣類乾燥機は、以下の構成を有する。 Further, the clothes dryer in the present embodiment has the following configuration.
　図１、図３に示すように、開口２２の周りにはドア２４が閉じた際にドア２４が接する接触代２２ｂが形成されている。そして開口２２の端部から接触代２２ｂの最も近い外周端部までの距離を接触代幅２２ｃとしたとき、開口２２の上端部中央２２ｄの左右、すなわち上端部左右の接触代幅２２ｃを開口２２の上端部中央２２ｄの接触代幅より小さくなるように開口２２を形成している。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a contact allowance 22 b that contacts the door 24 when the door 24 is closed is formed around the opening 22. When the distance from the end portion of the opening 22 to the outer peripheral end portion closest to the contact allowance 22b is defined as the contact allowance width 22c, the contact allowance width 22c on the left and right of the upper end center 22d of the opening 22, that is, the left and right contact allowance widths 22c The opening 22 is formed so as to be smaller than the contact allowance width of the upper end center 22d.
　さらに、開口２２の下端部中央２２ｅの左右、すなわち下端部左右の接触代幅２２ｃを開口２２の下端部中央２２ｅの接触代幅２２ｃより小さくなるように開口２２を形成している。 Furthermore, the opening 22 is formed so that the contact margin width 22c at the left and right of the lower end center 22e of the opening 22, that is, the contact margin width 22c at the lower end left and right of the opening 22 is smaller than the contact margin width 22c of the lower end center 22e of the opening 22.
　この構成により、開口２２を円形の開口より面積の大きくすることができ、容易に衣類を出し入れすることができる。 With this configuration, the opening 22 can have a larger area than the circular opening, and clothes can be easily put in and out.
　さらに、本実施の形態における衣類乾燥機は、以下の構成を有する。 Furthermore, the clothes dryer in the present embodiment has the following configuration.

The opening 22 is formed so as to be.
　さらに、開口２２の中心Ｃ２２から開口２２の端部までの距離２２ｆを、開口２２の下端部中央２２ｅより開口２２の下端部中央２２ｅの左右、すなわち下端部左右の方が長くなるように開口２２を形成している。 Further, the distance 22f from the center C22 of the opening 22 to the end of the opening 22 is set so that the left and right sides of the lower end center 22e of the opening 22, that is, the left and right sides of the lower end are longer than the lower end center 22e of the opening 22. Is forming.
　この構成により、開口２２を円形の開口より面積の大きくすることができ、容易に衣類を出し入れすることができる。 With this configuration, the opening 22 can have a larger area than the circular opening, and clothes can be easily put in and out.
