　本洗濯機は、図１に示すように、外箱１の正面に、運転動作を選択指示入力すると共に運転状態を表示する操作表示部４と、洗濯槽２および回転ドラム３(図２参照)の開口を開閉する扉５とを、備えている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the washing machine has an operation display unit 4 for inputting a driving operation selection instruction and displaying a driving state, a washing tub 2, and a rotating drum 3 (see FIG. 2). And a door 5 for opening and closing the opening.
　本洗濯機は、図２に示すように、外箱１と、外箱１内に配置された洗濯槽２と、衣類等の洗濯物や乾燥対象物６が収容される回転ドラム３と、この回転ドラム３を中心軸Ｊ周りに回転駆動する駆動モータ７とを備えている。ここで、回転ドラム３は、洗濯槽２内に、水平方向に対して正面側で上向きとなる傾斜角を有する上記中心軸Ｊ回りに回転可能に配置されている。さらに、洗濯槽２および回転ドラム３は扉５側に開口を有しており、ユーザは、扉５を開くことによって回転ドラム３内に洗濯物や乾燥対象物６を出し入れすることができる。そして、扉５を閉じることによって、洗濯槽２は水密と気密とが保たれる。尚、中心軸Ｊの延在方向は、水平方向であっても構わない。 As shown in FIG. 2, the washing machine includes an outer box 1, a washing tub 2 disposed in the outer box 1, a rotating drum 3 in which laundry such as clothes and a drying object 6 are accommodated, And a drive motor 7 that rotationally drives the rotary drum 3 around the central axis J. Here, the rotating drum 3 is disposed in the washing tub 2 so as to be rotatable around the central axis J having an inclination angle that is upward on the front side with respect to the horizontal direction. Furthermore, the washing tub 2 and the rotating drum 3 have an opening on the door 5 side, and the user can put the laundry and the drying object 6 into and out of the rotating drum 3 by opening the door 5. And by closing the door 5, the washing tub 2 is kept watertight and airtight. The extending direction of the central axis J may be a horizontal direction.
　また、上記外箱１の背面側上部には、フィルタ収納部８を配置している。そして、フィルタ収納部８の吸気口８aと洗濯槽２の排気口９との間を、第１空気循環ダクト１０を介して接続する一方、上記フィルタ収納部８の排気口８bとヒートポンプユニット１１との間を、第２空気循環ダクト１２を介して接続している。ヒートポンプユニット１１は外箱１の背面側下部に配置されている。そして、ヒートポンプユニット１１と洗濯槽２の吸気口１３との間を送風ダクト１４で接続している。また、送風ダクト１４のヒートポンプユニット１１側に循環ファン１５を配設している。 In addition, a filter storage portion 8 is disposed at the upper part on the back side of the outer box 1. And while connecting between the inlet 8a of the filter storage part 8 and the exhaust outlet 9 of the washing tub 2 via the 1st air circulation duct 10, the exhaust port 8b of the said filter storage part 8 and the heat pump unit 11 are connected. Are connected via the second air circulation duct 12. The heat pump unit 11 is disposed in the lower part on the back side of the outer box 1. And between the heat pump unit 11 and the inlet 13 of the washing tub 2 is connected by the air duct 14. A circulation fan 15 is disposed on the heat pump unit 11 side of the air duct 14.
　上記洗濯槽２内の空気を、第１空気循環ダクト１０とフィルタ収納部８と第２空気循環ダクト１２とヒートポンプユニット１１と送風ダクト１４とを経て洗濯槽２内へと送風する循環経路が形成されている。 A circulation path is formed in which the air in the washing tub 2 is blown into the washing tub 2 through the first air circulation duct 10, the filter housing portion 8, the second air circulation duct 12, the heat pump unit 11, and the air blowing duct 14. Has been.
　また、上記回転ドラム３には、周面３Ａに、洗濯槽２内への水や空気の流通を可能にする複数の貫通孔(図示せず)を形成している。さらに、回転ドラム３の底面３Ｂには、洗濯槽２の吸気口１３に連通する複数の空気導入孔(図示せず)を形成している。これにより、ヒートポンプユニット１１から送風ダクト１４を通って供給される乾燥した加熱空気を、図２に矢印Ｙで示すように、吸気口１３から回転ドラム３内に導入することができる。 The rotating drum 3 is formed with a plurality of through holes (not shown) on the peripheral surface 3A that allow water and air to flow into the washing tub 2. Furthermore, a plurality of air introduction holes (not shown) communicating with the air inlet 13 of the washing tub 2 are formed on the bottom surface 3 </ b> B of the rotating drum 3. Thereby, the dried heated air supplied from the heat pump unit 11 through the air duct 14 can be introduced into the rotary drum 3 from the air inlet 13 as indicated by an arrow Y in FIG.
　また、上記回転ドラム３内に収容された衣類等の乾燥対象物６から水分を奪った加熱空気は吸湿空気となる。この吸湿空気は、図２に矢印Ｚで示すように回転ドラム３の周面３Ａの上記貫通孔から洗濯槽２内に侵入し、洗濯槽２の排気口９から第１空気循環ダクト１０を介してフィルタ収納部８に向けて排気され、このフィルタ収納部８から第２空気循環ダクト１２を介してヒートポンプユニット１１に導入される。 Further, the heated air that has taken moisture from the drying object 6 such as clothes accommodated in the rotating drum 3 becomes moisture absorption air. This hygroscopic air enters the washing tub 2 through the through hole of the peripheral surface 3A of the rotating drum 3 as indicated by an arrow Z in FIG. 2, and passes through the first air circulation duct 10 from the exhaust port 9 of the washing tub 2. Then, the air is exhausted toward the filter housing portion 8 and is introduced from the filter housing portion 8 into the heat pump unit 11 through the second air circulation duct 12.
　上記ヒートポンプユニット１１は、蒸発器１６と圧縮機１７と凝縮器１８と膨張弁１９とを冷媒配管２０で接続して構成された冷媒回路を含んでいる。圧縮機１７で圧縮された冷媒が、凝縮器１８,膨張弁１９および蒸発器１６の順に流れて、蒸発器１６で第２空気循環ダクト１２からの吸湿空気を冷却して乾燥させた後に凝縮器１８で加熱して送風ダクト１４に送出させる。その際に、圧縮機１７の吐出側の冷媒配管２０に、温度センサ２１等を取り付けている。この温度センサ２１で測定した冷媒温度に応じて、制御用コンピュータ等で構成した制御部２２が圧縮機１７の能力を制御可能になっている。また、必要に応じて制御部２２によって膨張弁１９の制御が行われる。 The heat pump unit 11 includes a refrigerant circuit configured by connecting an evaporator 16, a compressor 17, a condenser 18, and an expansion valve 19 with a refrigerant pipe 20. The refrigerant compressed by the compressor 17 flows in the order of the condenser 18, the expansion valve 19 and the evaporator 16, and after the moisture absorption air from the second air circulation duct 12 is cooled and dried by the evaporator 16, the condenser is obtained. 18 is heated and sent to the air duct 14. At that time, a temperature sensor 21 or the like is attached to the refrigerant pipe 20 on the discharge side of the compressor 17. The controller 22 configured by a control computer or the like can control the capacity of the compressor 17 in accordance with the refrigerant temperature measured by the temperature sensor 21. Moreover, the control of the expansion valve 19 is performed by the control unit 22 as necessary.
　上記構成の洗濯機においては、操作表示部４(図１参照)から運転コースの選択や各工程の時間設定等が入力されると、その入力された選択情報や設定情報等に従って、制御部２２によって洗濯から乾燥までを一連の動作として実行したり、乾燥運転のみを実行したりする。さらに、制御部２２は、後に詳述するような本洗濯機の運転状態の出力制御を行う上記運転状態出力制御部としても機能する。 In the washing machine having the above-described configuration, when selection of a driving course, time setting of each process, or the like is input from the operation display unit 4 (see FIG. 1), the control unit 22 is in accordance with the input selection information, setting information, and the like. From washing to drying is executed as a series of operations, or only the drying operation is executed. Furthermore, the control part 22 functions also as the said driving | running state output control part which performs output control of the driving | running state of this washing machine which is explained in full detail behind.
　上記乾燥運転では、回転ドラム３が駆動モータ７によって乾燥動作に対応する回転速度で回転されて、衣類等の乾燥対象物６を撹拌すると共に、ヒートポンプユニット１１および循環ファン１５が駆動されて乾燥用空気の循環が開始される。 In the drying operation, the rotary drum 3 is rotated by the drive motor 7 at a rotation speed corresponding to the drying operation to stir the drying object 6 such as clothes, and the heat pump unit 11 and the circulation fan 15 are driven to perform drying. Air circulation is started.
　その場合、上記ヒートポンプユニット１１では、図２に示す圧縮機１７によって冷媒が圧縮され、この冷媒は圧縮機１７から冷媒配管２０を通って凝縮器１８,膨張弁１９,蒸発器１６および圧縮機１７を順に循環する。そして、圧縮された冷媒の熱は、凝縮器１８によって凝縮器１８内に配設された冷媒管路１８Ａに設けられたフィン１８Ｂに接する空気に放熱されるので、加熱空気となって、循環ファン１５から送風ダクト１４を通って、吸気口１３から回転ドラム３内に供給される。 In that case, in the heat pump unit 11, the refrigerant is compressed by the compressor 17 shown in FIG. 2, and this refrigerant passes through the refrigerant pipe 20 from the compressor 17, the condenser 18, the expansion valve 19, the evaporator 16, and the compressor 17. In order. And since the heat | fever of the compressed refrigerant | coolant is thermally radiated by the condenser 18 in the air which contact | connects the fin 18B provided in the refrigerant | coolant pipeline 18A arrange | positioned in the condenser 18, it becomes heating air and becomes a circulation fan. 15 is supplied from the air inlet 13 into the rotary drum 3 through the air duct 14.
　これにより、上記加熱空気は、回転ドラム３内で撹拌される衣類等の乾燥対象物６から水分を奪った吸湿空気となって、排気口９から第１空気循環ダクト１０に排出される。 Thereby, the heated air becomes moisture-absorbing air that has taken moisture from the drying object 6 such as clothes agitated in the rotary drum 3 and is discharged from the exhaust port 9 to the first air circulation duct 10.
　上記第１空気循環ダクト１０に送風された吸湿空気は、フィルタ収納部８,第２空気循環ダクト１２を介してヒートポンプユニット１１内の空間に入り、蒸発器１６のフィン１６Ｂを通過する際に熱が奪われて除湿される。尚、蒸発器１６では、膨張弁１９によって減圧されて低圧となった冷媒が、冷媒管路１６Ａを流れている。 The hygroscopic air blown to the first air circulation duct 10 enters the space in the heat pump unit 11 through the filter housing portion 8 and the second air circulation duct 12, and is heated when passing through the fins 16B of the evaporator 16. Is deprived and dehumidified. In the evaporator 16, the refrigerant that has been decompressed by the expansion valve 19 to a low pressure flows through the refrigerant conduit 16A.
　そして、上記蒸発器１６で除湿されることによって生じた結露水は、図示しない貯水部に滴下し、除湿されて乾いた空気は凝縮器１８に入って再び加熱される。上記貯水部に貯留された水は、排水ポンプが一定時間毎に運転されることによって、洗濯槽２内に排出され、排水弁が開かれることにより排水口から排水管路を通って外部に排水される。 The condensed water generated by dehumidification by the evaporator 16 is dropped into a water storage unit (not shown), and the dehumidified and dried air enters the condenser 18 and is heated again. The water stored in the water storage part is discharged into the washing tub 2 when the drain pump is operated at regular intervals, and drained to the outside through the drain pipe by opening the drain valve. Is done.
　乾燥用空気を上記ヒートポンプユニット１１によって加熱,除湿するヒートポンプ方式の乾燥機能の構成は、蒸発器１６で吸熱した熱を冷媒で回収して再び凝縮器１８から放熱するので、圧縮機１７に入力したエネルギー以上の熱量を衣類等の乾燥対象物６に与えることができ、乾燥時間の短縮と省エネルギーとを実現することが可能となる。 The structure of the drying function of the heat pump system that heats and dehumidifies the drying air by the heat pump unit 11 collects the heat absorbed by the evaporator 16 with the refrigerant and radiates the heat again from the condenser 18, so that it is input to the compressor 17. The amount of heat more than energy can be given to the drying object 6 such as clothes, and it is possible to reduce the drying time and save energy.
　ここで、上記乾燥運転時に、回転ドラム３から第１空気循環ダクト１０に導入される空気には衣類のほこりおよび糸くず等が含まれているので、第１空気循環ダクト１０と第２空気循環ダクト１２との間に、ほこりおよび糸くずを捕獲するフィルタ収納部８を設けている。このフィルタ収納部８によって、第２空気循環ダクト１２を介してヒートポンプユニット１１にほこりおよび糸くず等が入ることを防ぐことができる。 Here, during the drying operation, the air introduced into the first air circulation duct 10 from the rotary drum 3 includes dust, lint, and the like of clothing, and therefore, the first air circulation duct 10 and the second air circulation. Between the duct 12, a filter storage portion 8 that captures dust and lint is provided. The filter housing 8 can prevent dust and lint from entering the heat pump unit 11 through the second air circulation duct 12.

　以下、上記制御部２２による制御の下に実行される本洗濯機の運転状態出力制御動作について説明する。 Hereinafter, the operation state output control operation of the washing machine executed under the control of the control unit 22 will be described.
　洗濯機の運転状態には、正常に運転されている正常状態と、運転を停止せざるをえないような異常状態と、運転を停止する必要はないがユーザによるメンテナンス(お手入れ)が必要なメンテナンス必要状態とがある。さらに、上記異常状態には、ユーザによる回復が困難であって修理が必要な回復不可能な異常状態と、ユーザによって回復可能な異常状態とがある。 The operating state of the washing machine is a normal state where it is operating normally, an abnormal state where it is necessary to stop the operation, and it is not necessary to stop the operation but maintenance by the user is required. There is a need for maintenance. Further, the abnormal state includes an unrecoverable abnormal state that is difficult to recover by the user and requires repair, and an abnormal state that can be recovered by the user.
　ここで、上記「回復不可能な異常状態」として、リード線の断線や部品故障等がある。具体的には、モータの回転不良や、停止や、センサ故障等である。また、上記「回復可能な異常状態」としては、蛇口閉鎖,排水管装着忘れ,脱水不良,扉５の開放等がある。その他、脱水エラー等でも運転が停止する。この脱水エラーは、扉５を開放して洗濯物６をほぐし、洗濯物６の偏りを解消するなどによって解消することができる。また、上記「メンテナンス必要状態」としては、フィルタ収納部８に収納された糸くずフィルタの詰まり,乾燥フィルタの詰まり,槽洗浄不良(長期間の槽洗浄運転未実施)等がある。 Here, examples of the “unrecoverable abnormal state” include lead wire disconnection and component failure. Specifically, motor rotation failure, stop, sensor failure, and the like. The “recoverable abnormal state” includes closing the faucet, forgetting to attach the drain pipe, poor dehydration, opening the door 5, and the like. In addition, the operation stops due to a dehydration error. This dehydration error can be eliminated by opening the door 5 and loosening the laundry 6 to eliminate the unevenness of the laundry 6. Further, the “necessity of maintenance” includes clogging of a lint filter stored in the filter storage unit 8, clogging of a dry filter, defective tank cleaning (not performing long-term tank cleaning operation), and the like.
　本実施の形態においては、本洗濯機の運転状態が「正常状態」の場合には、２色ＬＥＤである発光ランプ３５を緑色発光させる。また、「異常状態」の場合には、発光ランプ３５を赤色発光させる。また、「メンテナンス必要状態」の場合には、発光ランプ３５を黄色発光させる。さらに、上記「回復可能な異常状態」の場合には、発光ランプ３５の赤色発光の発光パターンを、上記「回復不可能な異常状態」の場合とは異なるようにする。さらに、上記「正常状態」および上記「メンテナンス必要状態」の場合においては、運転中は点滅表示させ、停止中は点灯表示させるようになっている。また、「異常状態」の場合には、運転は停止されるので点灯表示のみとなる。 In the present embodiment, when the operation state of the washing machine is “normal state”, the light-emitting lamp 35 which is a two-color LED emits green light. In the “abnormal state”, the light emitting lamp 35 emits red light. In the “maintenance necessary state”, the light emitting lamp 35 emits yellow light. Further, in the case of the “recoverable abnormal state”, the light emission pattern of red light emission of the light-emitting lamp 35 is made different from that in the “recoverable abnormal state”. Further, in the case of the “normal state” and the “maintenance required state”, the display is blinked during operation and is lit during stoppage. Further, in the “abnormal state”, since the operation is stopped, only the lighting display is provided.
　すなわち、本実施の形態においては、上記「メンテナンス必要状態」,上記「回復可能な異常状態」および上記「回復不可能な異常状態」を、上記「非正常状態」とするのである。 That is, in the present embodiment, the “maintenance required state”, the “recoverable abnormal state”, and the “unrecoverable abnormal state” are referred to as the “unnormal state”.
　このように、本実施の形態においては、上記操作パネル２５の上部に、水平方向に細長い棒状の発光ランプ３５を設置し、本洗濯機の運転状態が「正常状態」の場合には緑色、「異常状態」の場合には赤色、「メンテナンス必要状態」の場合には黄色に発光させるようにしている。このように、通常の表示ランプよりも大きめの発光ランプ３５で本洗濯機の運転状態を色で表示するので、遠くからでも容易に運転状態を視認することができる。その際に、本洗濯機の運転状態に応じて交通信号の色のイメージで表示するので、「緑」なら安心・安全な正常状態、「黄」ならメンテナンスが必要な注意状態、「赤」なら異常状態であることが、一目で分かり易くユーザに訴えることが可能になる。 Thus, in the present embodiment, the bar-shaped light-emitting lamp 35 that is elongated in the horizontal direction is installed on the upper portion of the operation panel 25. When the operation state of the washing machine is “normal state”, green, “ In the “abnormal state”, light is emitted in red, and in the “maintenance necessary state”, light is emitted in yellow. As described above, since the operating state of the washing machine is displayed in color by the light emitting lamp 35 larger than the normal display lamp, the operating state can be easily visually recognized even from a distance. At that time, the color of the traffic signal is displayed according to the operating state of the washing machine. If it is “green”, it is safe and secure in a normal state, if it is “yellow”, it is a caution state that requires maintenance, and if it is “red” It is possible to appeal to the user in an easy-to-understand manner that the state is abnormal.
　すなわち、上記従来の特許文献１に開示された洗濯機のようにエラーコードのみで運転状態を表示する場合に比して、ユーザが運転状態と対処の必要性とをとっさに判断することができるのである。 That is, as compared with the case where the driving state is displayed only with the error code as in the conventional washing machine disclosed in Patent Document 1, the user can quickly determine the driving state and the necessity of handling. It is.
　さらに、本洗濯機の運転状態の内容とその対処法とをユーザに分かり易く告知するために、音声出力を用いるようにしている。すなわち、上記「異常状態」の場合には、発光ランプ３５を赤色に発光させると共に、運転状態の内容とその対処法とを、「何が起きています」および「どうして下さい」のごとく上記音声出力装置(図示せず)から音声出力するようにしている。さらに、上記「異常状態」および上記「メンテナンス必要状態」の場合には、ユーザが音声出力ボタン３６を操作することによって、運転状態の内容とその対処法との音声ガイダンスを再度出力するようにしている。したがって、ユーザが離れていて上記音声ガイダンスを聞き逃した場合であっても、繰り返し聞くことが可能になる。 Furthermore, in order to inform the user of the contents of the operating state of the washing machine and how to deal with it in an easy-to-understand manner, voice output is used. That is, in the case of the above “abnormal state”, the light-emitting lamp 35 emits red light, and the contents of the operation state and the countermeasures for it are output as described in “What is happening” and “Please do it”. Audio is output from a device (not shown). Further, in the case of the “abnormal state” and the “maintenance required state”, the user operates the voice output button 36 so that the voice guidance of the operation state and the countermeasures is output again. Yes. Therefore, even when the user is away and misses the voice guidance, it is possible to listen repeatedly.
　したがって、上記発光ランプ３５の発光によって、本洗濯機の運転状態が「回復可能な異常状態」,「回復不可能な異常状態」および「メンテナンス必要状態」の何れかであることを知り得たユーザは、音声ガイダンスによってその対処法を知ることができる。尚且つ、音声出力ボタン３６を操作することによって、運転状態の内容とその対処法との音声ガイダンスを繰り返し聞くことができる。したがって、ユーザは、落ち着いて運転状態の内容とその対処法とを確認することができ、ユーザ側で対処可能な場合であっても闇雲にコールセンターへコールしてしまうことを減らすことができるのである。 Therefore, the user who knows that the operating state of the washing machine is one of the “recoverable abnormal state”, “unrecoverable abnormal state”, and “maintenance necessary state” by the light emission of the light-emitting lamp 35. Can know how to deal with it by voice guidance. In addition, by operating the voice output button 36, it is possible to repeatedly listen to voice guidance on the contents of the driving state and how to deal with it. Therefore, the user can calmly confirm the contents of the driving state and the countermeasures, and can reduce calls to the call center in the dark clouds even when the user can cope. .
　図４は、上記制御部２２による制御の下に実行される運転状態出力制御処理動作のフローチャートである。以下、図４に従って、上記運転状態出力制御処理動作を具体的に説明する。スタート/一時停止ボタン２７が押圧されて洗濯動作,洗濯乾燥動作あるいは脱水動作が開始されると、運転状態出力制御処理動作がスタートする。但し、以下の説明においては「洗濯乾燥動作」時であるとして説明するが、他の動作の場合も同様である。 FIG. 4 is a flowchart of an operation state output control process operation performed under the control of the control unit 22. Hereinafter, the operation state output control processing operation will be specifically described with reference to FIG. When the start / pause button 27 is pressed to start the washing operation, the washing / drying operation, or the dehydrating operation, the operation state output control processing operation starts. However, in the following description, it is assumed that it is a “washing and drying operation”, but the same applies to other operations.
　ステップＳ1で、上記発光ランプ３５が緑色に点滅表示される。ステップＳ2で、運転状態は上記「異常状態」であるか否かが判別される。その結果、上記「異常状態」であればステップＳ12に進み、そうでなければステップＳ3に進む。ここで、上記「異常状態」の検出には、従来より公知の手段が適用される。一例として、水位センサの変位を確認することによって、水位が全く上がらない場合には蛇口の閉鎖等が考えられ、「異常状態」として判定される。また、脱水運転中に、洗濯槽２の振動が洗濯物の偏り等で大きくなりすぎると、脱水不良、つまり脱水エラーとして動作を停止する。このような場合にも「異常状態」として判定される。また、当然のことであるが、運転を開始する場合に、扉５が閉じられていることが検知されていれば、動作が開始される。しかしながら、扉閉鎖スイッチ(図示せず)のオンが検出されていなければ、動作が開始せずに停止状態となり、この場合にも「異常状態」として判定される。これらは、一例であり、このような自己診断等によって異常が検出され、これにより「異常状態」の判定が行なわれる。 In step S1, the light emitting lamp 35 blinks in green. In step S2, it is determined whether or not the operating state is the “abnormal state”. As a result, if it is the “abnormal state”, the process proceeds to step S12, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3. Here, conventionally known means are applied to the detection of the “abnormal state”. As an example, by checking the displacement of the water level sensor, if the water level does not rise at all, the faucet may be closed, and the “abnormal state” is determined. Further, if the vibration of the washing tub 2 becomes too large during the dehydration operation due to the bias of the laundry, the operation is stopped as a dehydration failure, that is, a dehydration error. Even in such a case, it is determined as an “abnormal state”. As a matter of course, when the operation is started, if it is detected that the door 5 is closed, the operation is started. However, if it is not detected that a door closing switch (not shown) is turned on, the operation does not start and the vehicle is stopped, and in this case, it is determined as an “abnormal state”. These are merely examples, and an abnormality is detected by such a self-diagnosis or the like, whereby an “abnormal state” is determined.
　次に、ステップＳ3で、上記運転状態は、上記「メンテナンス必要状態」であるか否かが判別される。その結果、上記「メンテナンス必要状態」であればステップＳ4に進み、そうでなければ上記ステップＳ1にリターンする。ここで、上記ステップＳ3において上記「メンテナンス必要状態」でないと判別された場合には、選択された洗濯乾燥運転が完了したか否かが確認され、完了していなければ、ステップＳ１に戻って、洗濯乾燥運転の進行時における「異常状態」および「メンテナンス必要状態」の確認処理が行なわれる。もし、洗濯乾燥運転の完了が確認されれば、「異常状態」および「メンテナンス必要状態」は無いとして、一連の洗濯乾燥運転の動作を終了し、電源オフ状態となる。この場合、ユーザへの上記表示は行なわれることはない。 Next, in step S3, it is determined whether or not the operation state is the “maintenance required state”. As a result, if it is the “maintenance necessary state”, the process proceeds to step S4, and if not, the process returns to step S1. Here, if it is determined in step S3 that it is not the “maintenance required state”, it is confirmed whether or not the selected washing / drying operation is completed, and if not completed, the process returns to step S1, Confirmation processing of “abnormal state” and “maintenance necessary state” during the progress of the washing and drying operation is performed. If the completion of the washing / drying operation is confirmed, it is determined that there is no “abnormal state” and “necessary maintenance state”, and a series of operations of the washing / drying operation is terminated and the power is turned off. In this case, the above display to the user is not performed.
　また、上記ステップＳ3における上記「メンテナンス必要状態」の判定について、以下にその一例を示す。すなわち、例えば洗いや濯ぎ等の工程において、排水処理が行なわれる。その場合における排水時間の変化、つまり排水時間が必要以上に長ければ、排水部分に設けられている「糸くずフィルタ」の詰まりが検知される。さらに、乾燥工程に移り、乾燥運転時の乾燥温度の変化(例えば、温度上昇の変化)を検知することで「乾燥フィルタの詰まり」等を、検出する。この検知により、「メンテナンス必要状態」と判定する。上述した検知方法は一例であって、これらに限定させるものではなく、従来より公知の検知方法をそのまま適用することができる。 Further, an example of the determination of the “maintenance necessary state” in step S3 will be shown below. That is, for example, wastewater treatment is performed in a process such as washing or rinsing. In this case, if the drainage time changes, that is, if the drainage time is longer than necessary, the clogging of the “lint filter” provided in the drainage portion is detected. Further, the process proceeds to a drying process, and “dry filter clogging” or the like is detected by detecting a change in drying temperature (for example, a change in temperature rise) during the drying operation. Based on this detection, it is determined that “maintenance is necessary”. The above-described detection methods are examples, and are not limited to these, and conventionally known detection methods can be applied as they are.
　上記ステップＳ3において上記「メンテナンス必要状態」であると判別された場合は、ステップＳ4で、上記発光ランプ３５が黄色に点滅表示される。こうして、上記運転状態が上記「メンテナンス必要状態」になったことが表示される。次に、ステップＳ5で、音声出力ボタン３６が押圧されたか否かが判別される。その結果、押圧された場合にはステップＳ6に進み、そうでなければステップＳ7に進む。ステップＳ6で、運転状態の内容とその対処法との音声ガイダンスが行なわれる。この音声ガイドとしては、例えば「乾燥フィルタ詰まりです。乾燥フィルタを掃除して下さい。」のごとく出力される。 If it is determined in step S3 that the “maintenance is required”, the light-emitting lamp 35 is blinked in yellow in step S4. In this way, it is displayed that the operation state is the “maintenance required state”. Next, in step S5, it is determined whether or not the audio output button 36 has been pressed. As a result, if pressed, the process proceeds to step S6, and if not, the process proceeds to step S7. In step S6, voice guidance is provided on the contents of the driving state and how to deal with it. As this voice guide, for example, “Dry filter clogged. Please clean the dry filter.” Is output.
　ステップＳ7で、上記洗濯乾燥動作が終了であるか否かが判別される。その結果、終了であればステップＳ8に進む。ステップＳ8で、洗濯機の運転が停止される。そして、ステップＳ9で、発光ランプ３５が黄色の点滅表示から点灯表示に切り換えられる。 In step S7, it is determined whether or not the washing / drying operation is completed. As a result, if finished, the process proceeds to step S8. In step S8, the operation of the washing machine is stopped. In step S9, the light-emitting lamp 35 is switched from the yellow blinking display to the lighting display.
　上記点灯表示に切り換えられた後に、ステップＳ10で、上記音声出力ボタン３６が押圧されたか否かが判別される。その結果押圧された場合にはステップＳ11に進む。ステップＳ11で、運転状態の内容とその対処法との音声ガイダンスが再度出力される。こうして、「メンテナンス必要状態」と判定されることによって、洗濯機の運転が停止された後であっても上記音声ガイダンスの出力が可能になっている。以後、「切」の電源スイッチ２６が操作されるまで、上記ステップＳ10および上記ステップＳ11が繰り返される。 After switching to the lighting display, it is determined in step S10 whether or not the audio output button 36 has been pressed. If it is pressed as a result, the process proceeds to step S11. In step S11, the voice guidance of the contents of the driving state and the countermeasures is output again. Thus, the voice guidance can be output even after the operation of the washing machine is stopped by determining the “maintenance necessary state”. Thereafter, the step S10 and the step S11 are repeated until the “OFF” power switch 26 is operated.
　次に、上記ステップＳ2において、つまり運転動作中において、上記「異常状態」であると判別された場合について、以下に説明する。先ず、ステップＳ12で、洗濯機の運転が停止される。ステップＳ13で、発光ランプ３５が赤色に点灯表示される。こうして、上記運転状態が上記「異常状態」になったことが表示される。ステップＳ14で、上記「異常状態」は、上記「回復可能な異常状態」であるか否かが判別される。その結果、上記「回復可能な異常状態」であればステップＳ18に進み、そうでなければステップＳ15に進む。ここで、上記「回復可能な異常状態」の判定には、上記ステップＳ2において上記「異常状態」の判定に用いられた判定結果を利用すればよい。ステップＳ15で、上記「回復不可能な異常」の場合における運転状態の内容とその対処法との音声ガイダンスが行なわれる。例えば自己診断によって、乾燥運転時に、ヒートポンプユニット１１の動作を確認し、冷媒の温度を測定する温度センサ２１が制御温度になっているのを検知している状態で、送風ダクト１４の送風温度を検知するために設けられる温度センサ(例えば、サーミスタ)が温度変化を検知しない場合には、「サーミスタ異常です。コールセンターへ連絡して下さい。」のごとく出力される。 Next, the case where it is determined in step S2, that is, during the driving operation, that the “abnormal state” has occurred will be described below. First, in step S12, the operation of the washing machine is stopped. In step S13, the light emitting lamp 35 is displayed in red. In this way, it is displayed that the operating state is the “abnormal state”. In step S14, it is determined whether or not the “abnormal state” is the “recoverable abnormal state”. As a result, if it is the “recoverable abnormal state”, the process proceeds to step S18; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S15. Here, the determination result used for the determination of the “abnormal state” in step S2 may be used for the determination of the “recoverable abnormal state”. In step S15, voice guidance is provided for the contents of the driving state and the countermeasures in the case of the “unrecoverable abnormality”. For example, the self-diagnosis confirms the operation of the heat pump unit 11 during the drying operation, and detects the air temperature of the air duct 14 while detecting that the temperature sensor 21 that measures the temperature of the refrigerant is at the control temperature. If the temperature sensor (for example, thermistor) provided for detection does not detect a temperature change, it will be output as "Thermistor is abnormal. Please contact the call center."
　ステップＳ16で、上記音声出力ボタン３６が押圧されたか否かが判別される。その結果押圧された場合にはステップＳ17に進む。ステップＳ17で、運転状態の内容とその対処法との音声ガイダンスが再度出力される。こうして、洗濯機の運転が停止された後であっても上記音声ガイダンスの出力が可能になっている。以後、「切」の電源スイッチ２６が操作されるまで、上記ステップＳ16および上記ステップＳ17が繰り返される。 In step S16, it is determined whether or not the voice output button 36 has been pressed. If it is pressed as a result, the process proceeds to step S17. In step S17, the voice guidance of the contents of the driving state and the countermeasures is output again. Thus, the voice guidance can be output even after the operation of the washing machine is stopped. Thereafter, the step S16 and the step S17 are repeated until the “OFF” power switch 26 is operated.
　次に、上記ステップＳ14において、上記「回復可能な異常状態」であると判別された場合には、ステップＳ18で、上記発光ランプ３５が、上記ステップＳ13の場合とは異なる赤色のパターン(例えば点滅で)表示される。こうして、上記運転状態が上記「回復可能な異常状態」になったことが表示される。次に、ステップＳ19で、運転状態の内容とその対処法との音声ガイダンスが行なわれる。例えば、先に説明したように、水位センサによって一向に洗濯水の水位が上昇しないことを検知した場合には、「異常状態」と判定され、この異常状態は「回復可能な異常状態」として判定される。その場合には、運転状態の内容と、その対処法として「給水されていません。蛇口を確認して下さい」のごとく出力される。 Next, if it is determined in step S14 that the "recoverable abnormal state" is present, in step S18, the light-emitting lamp 35 has a red pattern (for example, blinking) different from that in step S13. Displayed). In this way, it is displayed that the operating state is the “recoverable abnormal state”. Next, in step S19, voice guidance on the contents of the driving state and how to deal with it is performed. For example, as described above, when it is detected by the water level sensor that the water level of the washing water does not rise at all, it is determined as an “abnormal state”, and this abnormal state is determined as a “recoverable abnormal state”. The In that case, it is output as the contents of the operation status and the countermeasures, “No water supply. Check the faucet”.
　ステップＳ20で、上記音声出力ボタン３６が押圧されたか否かが判別される。その結果押圧された場合にはステップＳ21に進み、そうでなければステップＳ22に進む。ステップＳ21で、運転状態の内容とその対処法との音声ガイダンスが再度出力される。こうして、洗濯機の運転が停止された後であっても上記音声ガイダンスの出力が可能になっている。 In step S20, it is determined whether or not the voice output button 36 has been pressed. As a result, if it is pressed, the process proceeds to step S21, and if not, the process proceeds to step S22. In step S21, the voice guidance of the contents of the driving state and the countermeasures is output again. Thus, the voice guidance can be output even after the operation of the washing machine is stopped.
　ステップＳ22で、スタート/一時停止ボタン２７が押圧されたか否かが判別される。その結果、押圧されるとステップＳ23に進む。ステップＳ23で、異常状態が回復されているか否かが判別される。その結果、回復していればステップＳ24に進む一方、回復していなければ上記ステップＳ18にリターンする。ステップＳ24で、洗濯機の運転が再開される。そうした後、上記ステップＳ1にリターンする。 In step S22, it is determined whether or not the start / pause button 27 has been pressed. As a result, when pressed, the process proceeds to step S23. In step S23, it is determined whether or not the abnormal state has been recovered. As a result, if it has recovered, the process proceeds to step S24. If not recovered, the process returns to step S18. In step S24, the operation of the washing machine is resumed. After that, the process returns to step S1.
　以後、上述の動作が、「切」の電源スイッチ２６が操作されるまで繰り返される。 Thereafter, the above-described operation is repeated until the “OFF” power switch 26 is operated.
　以上のごとく、本実施の形態においては、上記操作パネル２５の上部に発光ランプ３５を設置し、本洗濯機の運転状態が「正常状態」の場合には緑色で、「回復不可能な異常状態」赤色で、「回復可能な異常状態」の場合には発光パターンが異なる赤色で、「メンテナンス必要状態」の場合には黄色で発光させるようにしている。したがって、遠くからでも、色のイメージによって容易に運転状態を視認することができる。 As described above, in the present embodiment, the light-emitting lamp 35 is installed on the upper portion of the operation panel 25. When the operation state of the washing machine is “normal state”, the state is green and “unrecoverable abnormal state”. The red light is emitted in a different light emission pattern in the “recoverable abnormal state”, and the yellow light is emitted in the “maintenance necessary state”. Therefore, the driving state can be easily visually recognized from a color image even from a distance.
　さらに、本洗濯機の運転状態の内容とその対処法とを、音声出力によって、「何が起きています」および「どうして下さい」の如く、ガイダンスするようにしている。したがって、ユーザは、上記発光ランプ３５による表示と組み合わせることによって、洗濯機の運転状態に異常が発生した場合に、ユーザに、何をすべきかを非常に分かり易く知らせることができる。 Furthermore, the contents of the operating state of the washing machine and how to deal with it are guided by voice output, such as “What is happening” and “Please do it”. Therefore, by combining with the display by the light-emitting lamp 35, the user can easily tell the user what to do when an abnormality occurs in the operating state of the washing machine.
　また、ユーザは、上記音声出力ボタン３６を操作することによって、運転状態の内容とその対処法との音声ガイダンスを再度確認できるので、洗濯中に一時ユーザが不在となっても、洗濯機の傍らに戻ってきた際に音声ガイダンスを聞くことが可能になる。また、運転停止後であっても、音声出力ボタン３６を操作すれば、音声ガイダンスを聞くことができる。 Further, since the user can confirm the voice guidance on the contents of the driving state and the countermeasures by operating the voice output button 36, even if the temporary user is absent during washing, You can listen to the voice guidance when you return to. Even after the operation is stopped, the voice guidance can be heard by operating the voice output button 36.
　すなわち、本実施の形態によれば、上記「回復可能な異常状態」および「メンテナンス必要状態」において、ユーザは何をすべきかを的確に伝えてメンテナンスや対処を促すことによって、洗濯機を適切にメンテナンスすることができる。したがって、製品寿命を延ばし、省エネ等の効果を得ることが可能になる。 That is, according to the present embodiment, in the above-mentioned “recoverable abnormal state” and “maintenance necessary state”, the user appropriately conveys what is to be done and prompts maintenance and countermeasures, so that the washing machine can be appropriately configured. Can be maintained. Therefore, it is possible to extend the product life and to obtain an effect such as energy saving.
・第２実施の形態
　上記第１実施の形態においては、上記「回復可能な異常状態」の場合には、上記「回復不可能な異常状態」の場合とは発光パターンが異なる赤色で発光ランプ３５を表示するようにしている。これに対して、本実施の形態においては、発光パターンに限らず、発光色を「橙色」等のごとく変えるようにするのである。但し、上記「回復可能な異常状態」も「異常状態」の範疇であることがユーザに伝わる色であることが望ましい。 Second Embodiment In the first embodiment, in the case of the “recoverable abnormal state”, the light emitting lamp 35 has a red light emission pattern different from that of the “recoverable abnormal state”. Is displayed. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, not only the light emission pattern but also the light emission color is changed to “orange” or the like. However, it is desirable that the “recoverable abnormal state” is also a color that informs the user that it is in the category of “abnormal state”.
・第３実施の形態
　上記各実施の形態においては、上記「回復可能な異常状態」および上記「回復不可能な異常状態」の場合には、発光ランプ３５の表示後に直ちに音声ガイダンスを出力するのに対して、上記「メンテナンス必要状態」の場合には、ユーザが音声出力ボタン３６を操作した場合にのみ音声ガイダンスを出力するようにしている。しかしながら、この発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、本実施の形態においては、上記「メンテナンス必要状態」の場合にも、直ちに音声ガイダンスを出力するようにするのである。 Third Embodiment In each of the above embodiments, in the case of the “recoverable abnormal state” and the “recoverable abnormal state”, the voice guidance is output immediately after the display of the light emitting lamp 35. On the other hand, in the “maintenance necessary state”, the voice guidance is output only when the user operates the voice output button 36. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the present embodiment, voice guidance is output immediately even in the case of the “maintenance required state”.
　但し、上記第１実施の形態の場合のように「直ちに音声ガイダンスを行わない」ようにすることにより、ユーザは、運転停止後に、視覚的・聴覚的に上記「メンテナンス必要状態」であることが分かり、慌てることなく対処することが可能になる。 However, by not performing voice guidance immediately as in the case of the first embodiment, the user may be in the “maintenance required state” visually and audibly after the operation is stopped. You can understand and deal with it without panic.
・第４実施の形態
　本実施の形態においては、上記第１実施の形態における図４に示す運転状態表示処理動作の上記ステップＳ5および上記ステップＳ20において、予め設定された時間だけ音声出力ボタン３６が押圧されるのを待つようにする。こうすることによって、ユーザの操作性をより向上させることができる。 Fourth Embodiment In the present embodiment, the voice output button 36 is set for a preset time in the step S5 and the step S20 of the operation state display processing operation shown in FIG. 4 in the first embodiment. Wait for it to be pressed. By doing so, the user operability can be further improved.
　また、上記各実施の形態においては、運転中に発光ランプ３５を点滅表示させるようにしているが、点灯表示させるようにしても何ら差し支えない。 In each of the above embodiments, the light-emitting lamp 35 is blinked during operation. However, it may be displayed in any way.
　また、上記各実施の形態においては、上記発光ランプ３５を、２色ＬＥＤで構成している。しかしながら、この発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、発光色が異なる３つのＬＥＤで構成してもよいし、ＬＥＤ以外の発光体で構成しても一向に構わない。 In each of the above embodiments, the light emitting lamp 35 is composed of a two-color LED. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be constituted by three LEDs having different emission colors, or may be constituted by a light emitter other than the LED.
　上述したように、この発明の洗濯機は、
　複数色に発光可能な発光装置３５と、
　音声出力装置と、
　運転状態が正常状態であるか非正常状態であるかを判定する運転状態判定部２２と、
　上記運転状態判定部２２による判定結果が上記非正常状態である場合には、上記発光装置３５を、上記正常状態の場合とは異なる色で発光させると共に、上記音声出力装置を駆動し、当該非正常状態の内容と対処法とのガイダンスを出力させる運転状態出力制御部２２と
を備えたことを特徴としている。 As described above, the washing machine of the present invention is
A light emitting device 35 capable of emitting light in a plurality of colors;
An audio output device;
An operation state determination unit 22 for determining whether the operation state is a normal state or an abnormal state;
When the determination result by the driving state determination unit 22 is the abnormal state, the light emitting device 35 emits light in a color different from that in the normal state, and the audio output device is driven to An operation state output control unit 22 that outputs guidance on the contents of the normal state and the countermeasures is provided.
　上記構成によれば、本洗濯機の運転状態が非正常状態である場合には、上記発光装置３５を正常状態の場合とは異なる色で発光させると共に、上記音声出力装置を駆動して当該非正常状態の内容とその対処法とのガイダンスを出力させるので、上記運転状態が上記非正常状態である場合を、アルファベットと数字との組み合わせによるエラーコードで表示する場合よりも、ユーザに分かり易く、且つ離れた位置からでも容易に視認できるように提示することができる。さらに、音声によるガイダンスを加味することにより、上記非正常状態の内容とその対処法とを容易に理解させることができる。 According to the above configuration, when the operating state of the washing machine is in an abnormal state, the light emitting device 35 emits light in a color different from that in the normal state, and the audio output device is driven to perform the abnormal operation. Since the guidance of the contents of the normal state and the countermeasures are output, it is easier for the user to understand when the operation state is the abnormal state than when displaying the error code by a combination of alphabets and numbers, Moreover, it can be presented so that it can be easily visually recognized even from a distant position. Furthermore, by adding voice guidance, it is possible to easily understand the contents of the abnormal state and the countermeasures.
　したがって、ユーザ側で対処可能な場合であっても闇雲にコールセンターへコールしてしまうことを減らすことができる。 Therefore, even when the user can deal with it, it is possible to reduce calls to the call center in the dark clouds.
　また、一実施の形態の洗濯機では、
　上記非正常状態は、ユーザによるメンテナンスが必要な状態を含んでいる。 In the washing machine of the embodiment,
The abnormal state includes a state that requires maintenance by the user.
　この実施の形態によれば、本洗濯機はメンテナンスが必要な状態であることを、ユーザに分かり易く、且つ離れた位置からでも視認性よく提示することができる。さらに、ユーザは、音声によるガイダンスによって、メンテナンスの対処法を、例えば「糸くずフィルタの掃除」,「乾燥フィルタの掃除」および「洗濯槽の洗浄」のごとく、具体的に知ることができる。 According to this embodiment, it is easy for the user to understand that the present washing machine is in a state that requires maintenance, and can be presented with good visibility even from a remote location. Furthermore, the user can specifically know how to handle the maintenance by voice guidance, such as “cleaning the lint filter”, “cleaning the dry filter”, and “washing the washing tub”.
　また、一実施の形態の洗濯機では、
　上記非正常状態は、運転停止を伴う異常な状態を含んでおり、
　上記運転状態出力制御部２２は、上記非正常状態に上記メンテナンスが必要な状態が含まれている場合には、上記発光装置３５を、上記メンテナンスが必要な状態と上記異常な状態とに関して互いに異なる色で発光させるようになっている。 In the washing machine of the embodiment,
The abnormal state includes an abnormal state with a shutdown,
When the abnormal state includes the state requiring maintenance, the operation state output control unit 22 differs the light emitting device 35 from the state requiring maintenance and the abnormal state. It is designed to emit light with colors.
　この実施の形態によれば、本洗濯機は運転停止を伴う異常な状態であることを、上記メンテナンスが必要な状態と区別して、ユーザに分かり易く、且つ離れた位置からでも視認性よく提示することができる。さらに、ユーザは、音声によるガイダンスによって、対処法を具体的に知ることができる。 According to this embodiment, the present washing machine is in an abnormal state with a stoppage of operation, distinguished from the state that requires maintenance, and is easy for the user to understand and presents it with good visibility even from a remote location. be able to. Furthermore, the user can specifically know how to deal with the voice guidance.
　また、一実施の形態の洗濯機では、
