Description

洗干一体机Washing and drying machine 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及一种洗干一体机。The invention relates to an integrated washing and drying machine.
背景技术Background technique
专利文献1中记载了一种结构，在作为一种洗干一体机的滚筒式洗干一体机中，在作为与配置有滚筒的水桶之间循环暖风的循环路径的一部分的管道内，配置有收容芳香产生体的壳体和紫外线灯。 Patent Document 1 describes a structure in which a drum-type washer-dryer as a kind of integrated washer-dryer is arranged in a duct as a part of a circulation path for circulating warm air with a drum in which a drum is arranged There is a case containing an aroma generator and an ultraviolet lamp.
芳香产生体由吸收了脂肪烃类物质的许多个珠状的固体物质构成。在烘干过程时，当从紫外线灯向芳香产生体照射紫外线时，生成相当于日照晾干的香味成分的脂肪烃的氧化物质。日照晾干的香味与暖风一起被供给至水桶内，对滚筒内的洗涤物赋予日照晾干的香味。The aroma generating body is composed of many bead-shaped solid substances that have absorbed aliphatic hydrocarbons. During the drying process, when ultraviolet light is irradiated from the ultraviolet lamp to the aroma generating body, an oxidized substance of fatty hydrocarbon equivalent to a fragrance component dried by sunlight is generated. The sun-dried scent is supplied into the bucket together with the warm air, and the sun-dried scent is imparted to the laundry in the drum.
上述的滚筒式洗干一体机中，壳体可拆装地装配在管道的内壁部，因此，在由于寿命原因等而更换芳香产生体时，能将壳体从内壁部取下来。但是，专利文献1中，对于用于将壳体拆卸到管道外部的结构，没有具体的记载。例如，虽然壳***于出风口附近，但要将手从出风口伸入管道内拆装壳体是不现实的。因此，在上述那样的洗干一体机中，使用者如何能实际上容易地更换芳香产生体可能会成为问题。In the aforementioned drum-type washer-dryer, the housing is detachably attached to the inner wall portion of the pipe. Therefore, when the fragrance generator is replaced due to service life or the like, the housing can be removed from the inner wall portion. However, Patent Document 1 does not specifically describe a structure for detaching the casing outside the pipe. For example, although the housing is located near the air outlet, it is unrealistic to extend the hand from the air outlet into the duct to detach the housing. Therefore, in the above-described integrated washing and drying machine, how the user can actually easily replace the fragrance generator may become a problem.

通过将壳体部320的左右两侧的轴323***框体312的左右两侧的轴承部314的孔314a，使得过滤器部310与壳体部320连结。过滤器部310能以壳体部320的轴323为中心转动，壳体部320的开口部320a被过滤器部310可开闭地覆盖。当壳体部320的开口部320a被过滤器部310封闭时，爪部324与卡合部315的孔315a卡合。由此，过滤器部310不容易向打开方向转动。By inserting the shafts 323 on the left and right sides of the housing portion 320 into the holes 314 a of the bearing portions 314 on the left and right sides of the housing 312, the filter portion 310 and the housing portion 320 are connected. The filter unit 310 can rotate about the axis 323 of the housing unit 320, and the opening 320 a of the housing unit 320 is covered by the filter unit 310 so as to be openable and closable. When the opening 320a of the housing portion 320 is closed by the filter portion 310, the claw portion 324 is engaged with the hole 315a of the engaging portion 315. This makes it difficult for the filter unit 310 to rotate in the opening direction.
前面板部330设置于壳体部320的前方，从正面观察时具有长方形状。在前面板部330，在前表面形成有把手331，在后表面装配有衬垫332。在过滤器单元53装接于过滤器室220的状态下，衬垫332将***口221与前面板部330的后表面之间密封。The front panel portion 330 is provided in front of the housing portion 320 and has a rectangular shape when viewed from the front.

Almost the entire bottom surface of the treatment agent holding portion 340 opens as a vent 341. The vent 341 is covered by the filter member 342. The filtering member 342 is composed of a mesh-like sheet. The inside of the processing agent holding portion 340 becomes a storage portion 343 for storing the processing agent P. The accommodating portion 343 is divided into eight areas by one partition wall 344a extending along its long dimension direction and three partition walls 344b extending along its short dimension direction.
处理剂P例如为珠状的挥发性的芳香剂。或者，处理剂P例如为珠状的抗菌剂。抗菌剂可以是在溶解性的玻璃构件中混入银的离子珠。适量的处理剂P被收容在处理剂保持部340的收容部343的各个区域。The treatment agent P is, for example, a bead-shaped volatile fragrance. Alternatively, the treatment agent P is, for example, a bead-shaped antibacterial agent. The antibacterial agent may be an ionic bead mixed with silver in a soluble glass member. An appropriate amount of the processing agent P is stored in each area of the storage portion 343 of the processing agent holding portion 340.
过滤器室220的***口221面向上面板12的外侧投入口14内。使用者能在上盖15敞开的状态下，从外部通过***口221使过滤器单元53即一体化后的过滤器部310和处理剂保持部340出入于过滤器室220内。使用者在将过滤器单元53***过滤器室220之前，将已在收容部343内放入处理剂P的处理剂保持部340通过开口部320a收容在壳体部320内。处理剂保持部340被放置于阶梯面325，在处理剂保持部340的底面与壳体部320的底面之间设置有间隙即空间。这样，通过在壳体部320内收容处理剂保持部340，成为过滤器部310与 处理剂保持部340一体化的状态。The insertion port 221 of the filter chamber 220 faces the outer inlet port 14 of the upper panel 12. The user can access the filter unit 53, that is, the integrated filter unit 310 and the treatment agent holding unit 340 from the outside through the insertion port 221 with the upper cover 15 open, and enter and exit the filter chamber 220. Before inserting the filter unit 53 into the filter chamber 220, the user stores the processing agent holding portion 340 in which the processing agent P has been placed in the housing portion 343 through the opening 320 a in the housing portion 320. The processing agent holding portion 340 is placed on the stepped surface 325, and a gap, that is, a space is provided between the bottom surface of the processing agent holding portion 340 and the bottom surface of the case portion 320. In this way, by storing the processing agent holding portion 340 in the housing portion 320, the filter unit 310 and the processing agent holding portion 340 are integrated.
在全自动洗干一体机1中，进行各种运转模式的洗涤运转、洗涤烘干运转或烘干运转。洗涤运转是仅进行洗涤的运转，按顺序执行洗涤过程、中间脱水过程、漂洗过程以及最终脱水过程。洗涤烘干运转是连续进行洗涤到烘干的运转，在最终脱水过程之后接着执行烘干过程。烘干运转是仅进行烘干的运转，仅执行烘干过程。In the fully automatic washing and drying machine 1, a washing operation, a washing and drying operation, or a drying operation in various operation modes are performed. The washing operation is an operation in which only washing is performed, and the washing process, the intermediate dehydration process, the rinsing process, and the final dehydration process are sequentially executed. The washing and drying operation is a continuous washing to drying operation, followed by a drying process after the final dehydration process. The drying operation is an operation in which only drying is performed, and only the drying process is performed.
在洗涤过程和漂洗过程中，在洗涤脱水桶24内蓄有水的状态下，波轮26向右方向和左方向旋转。通过波轮26的旋转，在洗涤脱水桶24内产生水流。洗涤过程中，洗涤物被产生的水流和水中所含的洗涤剂清洗。漂洗过程中，洗涤物被产生的水流漂洗。During the washing process and the rinsing process, the pulsator 26 rotates in the right direction and the left direction in a state where water is stored in the washing and dehydrating tub 24. The rotation of the pulsator 26 generates a water flow in the washing and dewatering tub 24. During the washing process, the laundry is washed by the generated water stream and the detergent contained in the water. During the rinsing process, the laundry is rinsed by the generated water stream.
在中间脱水过程和最终脱水过程中，洗涤脱水桶24和波轮26一体地高速旋转。洗涤物通过在洗涤脱水桶24中产生的离心力的作用而被脱水。In the intermediate dehydration process and the final dehydration process, the washing dehydration tub 24 and the pulsator 26 rotate integrally at high speed. The laundry is dehydrated by the centrifugal force generated in the washing and dewatering tub 24.
烘干过程中，首先进行内部空气循环烘干过程，接着进行外部空气导入烘干过程。在内部空气循环烘干过程中，在下部排气风路230内，开口231a被挡板251关闭(参照图8)。由此，变为无法通过下部排气风路230和上部排气风路240进行排气的状态。在暖风产生单元51内，鼓风扇120和加热器130进行工作。当鼓风扇120工作而鼓风机121旋转时，如图7的箭头所示，空气被从吸入口113吸入壳体110内，在风扇室111内产生风。产生的风流经排出风路112被加热器130加热，变成暖风从排出口114排出。从排出口114排出的暖风通过进风管道71被供给至外桶20内。In the drying process, the internal air circulation drying process is performed first, followed by the external air introduction drying process. During the internal air circulation drying process, in the lower exhaust air path 230, the opening 231a is closed by the shutter 251 (refer to FIG. 8). As a result, it becomes impossible to exhaust through the lower exhaust air passage 230 and the upper exhaust air passage 240. In the warm air generating unit 51, the blower fan 120 and the heater 130 operate. When the blower fan 120 operates and the blower 121 rotates, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 7, air is drawn into the housing 110 from the suction port 113, and wind is generated in the fan chamber 111. The generated wind flows through the exhaust air path 112 and is heated by the heater 130, and is discharged as warm air from the exhaust port 114. The warm air discharged from the discharge port 114 is supplied into the outer tub 20 through the air inlet duct 71.
供给至外桶20内的暖风在洗涤脱水桶24内流动。在洗涤脱水桶24内，波轮26以恒定的时间向右旋转和向左旋转。洗涤脱水桶24内的洗涤物一边被波轮26搅拌，一边与在洗涤脱水桶24内流动的暖风接触。流过洗涤脱水桶24内的暖风通过排风管道72从外桶20内排出，如图7的箭头所示，穿过导入口222、过滤器室220以及吸气风路210，再次从吸入口113被吸入壳体110内。The warm air supplied into the outer tub 20 flows in the washing and dewatering tub 24. In the washing and dewatering tub 24, the pulsator 26 rotates to the right and to the left at a constant time. The laundry in the washing and dewatering tub 24 is stirred by the pulsator 26 while being in contact with the warm air flowing in the washing and dewatering tub 24. The warm air flowing through the washing and dewatering tub 24 is discharged from the outer tub 20 through the exhaust duct 72, and as shown by the arrow in FIG. 7, passes through the inlet 222, the filter chamber 220, and the suction air path 210, and is sucked in again The port 113 is sucked into the housing 110.
内部空气循环烘干过程中，无法通过下部排气风路230和上部排气风路240进行排气，因此，几乎不通过外部空气吸气口223进行外部空气的摄入，暖风在循环风路50a与外桶20之间循环，由此，洗涤脱水桶24内的温度迅速上升。During the internal air circulation drying process, the lower exhaust air path 230 and the upper exhaust air path 240 cannot exhaust air. Therefore, the external air is hardly taken in through the external air suction port 223, and the warm air is in the circulating air The path 50a circulates between the outer tub 20, whereby the temperature in the washing and dewatering tub 24 rises rapidly.
因通过波轮26进行的搅拌等而从洗涤物中出来的线屑等异物混入从外桶20排出的暖风中。暖风在过滤器室220内通过过滤器单元53中的处理剂保持部340的过滤构材342和过滤器部310的过滤构材313，暖风中所含的异物被这些过滤构材342、313捕捉。Foreign matter such as thread dust coming out of the laundry due to stirring by the pulsator 26 or the like is mixed into the warm air discharged from the outer tub 20. The warm air passes through the filter structure 342 of the treatment agent holding portion 340 in the filter unit 53 and the filter structure 313 of the filter portion 310 in the filter chamber 220. Foreign materials contained in the warm air are filtered by these filter structures 342, 313 capture.
当洗涤脱水桶24内的温度继续上升，水分从洗涤物蒸发而使暖风中含有大量水分时，切换为外部空气导入烘干过程。向外部空气导入烘干过程的切换可以基于烘干过程开始后所经过的时间来进行，也可以基于由温度传感器检测到的外桶20内的温度、由湿度传感器检测到的外桶20内的湿度来进行。When the temperature in the washing and dewatering tank 24 continues to rise, and the moisture evaporates from the laundry to make the warm air contain a large amount of moisture, it is switched to the outside air introduction drying process. The switching of the introduction of the drying process into the outside air may be based on the time elapsed after the start of the drying process, or may be based on the temperature in the outer tub 20 detected by the temperature sensor and the temperature in the outer tub 20 detected by the humidity sensor Humidity.
在外部空气导入烘干过程中，如图8的虚线箭头所述，在下部排气风路230内，挡板251打开，使得开口231a敞开。由此，能通过下部排气风路230和上部排气风路240进行排气，由此变成能从外部空气吸气口223摄入外部空气的状态。在这种状态下，鼓风扇120和加热器130工作。从外部空气吸气口223摄入的外部空气穿过过滤器室220，一边与从导入口222摄入的暖风混合，一边流向吸气风路210，混合有外部空气的暖风被吸入壳体110内。此时，外部空气在过滤器室220内通过处理剂保持部340的过滤构材342和过滤器部310的过滤构材313，外部空气中所含的尘埃等异物被这些过滤构材342、313捕捉。During the introduction of outside air into the drying process, as shown by the dotted arrow in FIG. 8, in the lower exhaust air path 230, the baffle 251 is opened, so that the opening 231 a is opened. As a result, exhaust can be performed through the lower exhaust air passage 230 and the upper exhaust air passage 240, so that the outside air can be taken in from the outside air intake port 223. In this state, the blower fan 120 and the heater 130 operate. The outside air taken in from the outside air suction port 223 passes through the filter chamber 220 and flows into the suction air path 210 while being mixed with the warm air taken in from the introduction port 222, and the warm air mixed with the outside air is sucked into the casing体 110 内。 Body 110. At this time, outside air passes through the filter structure 342 of the treatment agent holding portion 340 and the filter structure 313 of the filter portion 310 in the filter chamber 220, and foreign matters such as dust contained in the outside air are filtered by these filter structures 342, 313 Catch.
在外部空气导入烘干过程中，与摄入外部空气相应地，供给至外桶20内的暖风的流量会变多，因此要使外桶20内的含有大量水分的暖风的一部分通过下部排气风路230和上部排气风路240排出至箱体10的外部。即，如图8的实线箭头所示，流过循环风路50a的外桶20内的暖风的一部分从内部排气口115排出，通过导入口232被排出至下部排气风路230内。排出至下部排气风路230内的暖风依次流经下部排气风路230和上部排气风路240，从外部排气口241排出至箱体10的外部。During the introduction and drying of outside air, the flow rate of the warm air supplied to the outer tub 20 increases according to the intake of outside air. Therefore, a part of the warm air containing a large amount of moisture in the outer tub 20 passes through the lower part The exhaust air path 230 and the upper exhaust air path 240 are discharged to the outside of the cabinet 10. That is, as indicated by the solid arrows in FIG. 8, a part of the warm air flowing through the outer tub 20 of the circulation air path 50 a is discharged from the internal exhaust port 115 and is discharged into the lower exhaust air path 230 through the introduction port 232. . The warm air discharged into the lower exhaust air passage 230 sequentially flows through the lower exhaust air passage 230 and the upper exhaust air passage 240 and is discharged from the external exhaust port 241 to the outside of the cabinet 10.
这样，通过进行外部空气导入烘干过程，从洗涤物蒸发的水分被有效地从外桶20内排出到箱体10外，外桶20内变得容易除湿，因此促进了洗涤物的烘干。需要说明的是，来自外桶20的暖风的一部分流经循环风路50a，被加热器130再次加热，因此，会继续维持在外桶20内的温度高的状态。当外部空气导入烘干过程结束时，烘干过程结束。In this way, by performing the outside air introduction drying process, the moisture evaporated from the laundry is effectively discharged from the outer tub 20 to the outside of the cabinet 10, and the inner tub 20 becomes easily dehumidified, thus promoting the drying of the laundry. It should be noted that a part of the warm air from the outer tub 20 flows through the circulation air passage 50a and is heated again by the heater 130, and therefore, the state in which the temperature inside the outer tub 20 is kept high continues. When the outside air introduction drying process ends, the drying process ends.
烘干过程中，穿过过滤器室220的暖风与保持于处理剂保持部340的处理 剂P接触。规定的成分从处理剂P中释放出来，与暖风混合，含有规定的成分的暖风被供给至外桶20内。During the drying process, the warm air passing through the filter chamber 220 comes into contact with the treatment agent P held in the treatment agent holding portion 340. The predetermined component is released from the treatment agent P, mixed with the warm air, and the warm air containing the predetermined component is supplied into the outer tub 20.
在处理剂P为芳香剂的情况下，从芳香剂挥发出的芳香成分与暖风混合，含有芳香成分的暖风被供给至外桶20内。芳香成分附着在洗涤脱水桶24内的洗涤物上，洗涤物被赋予香味。When the treatment agent P is a fragrance, the fragrance component volatilized from the fragrance is mixed with warm air, and the warm air containing the fragrance component is supplied into the tub 20. The aromatic component adheres to the laundry in the washing and dehydrating tub 24, and the laundry is given a fragrance.
此外，在处理剂P为抗菌剂的情况下，银离子成分即抗菌成分与暖风中所含的水分反应而从玻璃构件中溶出，与暖风混合。含有抗菌成分的暖风被供给至外桶20内，抗菌成分附着在洗涤脱水桶24内的洗涤物上，对洗涤物赋予防霉效果。进而，抗菌成分也附着在循环风路50a的内壁面、外桶20的内壁面、洗涤脱水桶24的内外壁面上，为这些壁面赋予防霉效果。In addition, when the treatment agent P is an antibacterial agent, the silver ion component, that is, the antibacterial component, reacts with the moisture contained in the warm air to elute from the glass member and mix with the warm air. The warm air containing the antibacterial component is supplied into the outer tub 20, and the antibacterial component adheres to the laundry in the washing and dehydrating tub 24, and imparts an antifungal effect to the laundry. Furthermore, the antibacterial component also adheres to the inner wall surface of the circulation air duct 50a, the inner wall surface of the outer tub 20, and the inner and outer wall surfaces of the washing and dewatering tub 24, and imparts an antifungal effect to these wall surfaces.
需要说明的是，在过滤器单元53中，在处理剂保持部340的底面与壳体部320的底面之间设有空间。由此，从导入口222导入的风在空间中扩散而容易遍及收容部343的广阔区域，因此，能抑制只有导入口222的正上方的处理剂P被集中消耗的情况。In addition, in the filter unit 53, the space between the bottom surface of the processing agent holding part 340 and the bottom surface of the case part 320 is provided. Thereby, the wind introduced from the inlet 222 diffuses in the space and easily spreads over a wide area of the accommodating portion 343, so that only the treatment agent P directly above the inlet 222 can be suppressed from being consumed intensively.
在处理剂P随着使用而消失或变得难以释放成分的情况下，使用者将过滤器单元53从过滤器室220卸下来，从壳体部320内卸下处理剂保持部340，进行处理剂P的补充、更换等。这时，使用者也可以一并进行过滤构材313、342的清扫。此外，使用者可以在为了清扫过滤构材313、342而将过滤器单元53从过滤器室220卸下来时，一并进行处理剂P的补充、更换等。When the treatment agent P disappears or becomes difficult to release components with use, the user removes the filter unit 53 from the filter chamber 220 and removes the treatment agent holding portion 340 from the housing portion 320 to perform the treatment Replenishment and replacement of agent P. At this time, the user may also clean the filter members 313 and 342 together. In addition, when the user removes the filter unit 53 from the filter chamber 220 in order to clean the filter members 313 and 342, the processing agent P can be replenished and replaced together.
＜实施方式的效果＞<Effect of the embodiment>
根据本实施方式，过滤器单元53具备处理剂保持部340，该处理剂保持部340保持能释放规定的成分的处理剂P，以与过滤器部310一体化的状态收容于过滤器室220。因此，使用者通过将过滤器单元53从过滤器室220卸下，能容易地进行处理剂P的补充、更换等。According to the present embodiment, the filter unit 53 includes the processing agent holding portion 340 that holds the processing agent P that can release a predetermined component, and is housed in the filter chamber 220 in a state integrated with the filter portion 310. Therefore, by removing the filter unit 53 from the filter chamber 220, the user can easily replenish or replace the treatment agent P.
此外，根据本实施方式，在从过滤器室220卸下的状态下，处理剂保持部340能与过滤器部310分离。因此，在对处理剂保持部340进行处理剂P的补充等时过滤器部310不会成为障碍，而且，在进行过滤器部310的清扫时处理剂保持部340不会成为障碍。In addition, according to the present embodiment, the treatment agent holding portion 340 can be separated from the filter portion 310 in a state of being detached from the filter chamber 220. Therefore, the filter unit 310 does not become an obstacle when the processing agent holding unit 340 is replenished with the processing agent P, and the processing agent holding unit 340 does not become an obstacle when cleaning the filter unit 310.
进而，根据本实施方式，处理剂保持部340的通风口341被过滤构材342覆盖，因此，在风通过处理剂保持部340时，能利用过滤构材342捕捉该风中所含的异物。因此，提高了通过过滤器单元53捕捉异物的效率。Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the vent 341 of the treatment agent holding portion 340 is covered by the filter member 342, so that when the wind passes through the treatment agent holder 340, the filter member 342 can catch foreign substances contained in the wind. Therefore, the efficiency of capturing foreign matter through the filter unit 53 is improved.
以上，对本发明的实施方式进行了说明，但本发明不受上述实施方式等的任何限制，此外，本发明的实施方式也可以进行上述以外的各种变更。The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited by the above-described embodiments and the like. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention may be variously modified other than the above.
例如，在上述实施方式中，处理剂保持部340被配置成能与过滤器部310分离。但是，也可以采用通过将处理剂保持部340与壳体部320形成为一体，使得处理剂保持部340不能与过滤器部310分离的结构。For example, in the above embodiment, the treatment agent holding portion 340 is configured to be separable from the filter portion 310. However, it is also possible to adopt a structure in which the processing agent holding portion 340 and the housing portion 320 are integrated so that the processing agent holding portion 340 cannot be separated from the filter portion 310.
此外，在上述实施方式中，在处理剂保持部340的底面，形成有几乎遍及整个底面的通风口341，该通风口341由过滤构材342覆盖。但是，也可以采用如下结构：例如，由比珠状的处理剂P稍小的许多孔构成通风口341，由此，不在处理剂保持部340上设置过滤构材342。In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the bottom surface of the treatment agent holding portion 340 is formed with an air vent 341 covering almost the entire bottom surface, and the air vent 341 is covered by the filter member 342. However, it is also possible to adopt a structure in which, for example, the vent 341 is constituted by many holes slightly smaller than the bead-shaped processing agent P, and therefore, the filter structure 342 is not provided on the processing agent holding portion 340.
进而，在上述实施方式中，采用了珠状的处理剂P直接由处理剂保持部340保持的结构。但是，也可以采用珠状的处理剂P被装入具有通气性的袋体中后由处理剂保持部340保持的结构。此外，处理剂P可以不是珠状，只要能由处理剂保持部340保持，可以是任意的尺寸、形状。Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, a structure in which the bead-shaped processing agent P is directly held by the processing agent holding portion 340 is adopted. However, a structure in which a bead-shaped treatment agent P is put in a bag with air permeability and held by the treatment agent holding portion 340 may be adopted. In addition, the processing agent P may not be in a bead shape, and may be any size or shape as long as it can be held by the processing agent holding portion 340.
进而，在上述实施方式中，可以设置如下的洗涤运转模式：在使用作为抗菌剂的处理剂P的情况下，在最终脱水过程之后进行抗菌过程。这种情况下，在抗菌过程中，通过控制部16使鼓风扇120工作，风在循环风路50a与外桶20之间循环。这时，可以通过使加热器130来加热风。在抗菌过程中，与风混合的抗菌成分附着在循环风路50a的内壁面、外桶20的内壁面、洗涤脱水桶24的内外壁面上，对这些壁面赋予防霉效果。Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a washing operation mode may be provided in which, in the case of using the treatment agent P as an antibacterial agent, the antibacterial process is performed after the final dehydration process. In this case, during the antibacterial process, the control unit 16 operates the blower fan 120, and the air circulates between the circulation air passage 50a and the outer tub 20. At this time, the heater 130 can be used to heat the wind. During the antibacterial process, the antibacterial component mixed with the wind adheres to the inner wall surface of the circulation air passage 50a, the inner wall surface of the outer tub 20, and the inner and outer wall surfaces of the washing and dewatering tub 24, and imparts an antifungal effect to these wall surfaces.
进而，上述实施方式中，示出了将本发明应用于在所谓的波轮式洗衣机中搭载了衣物的烘干功能的全自动洗干一体机1的例子。但是，本发明也能应用于在外桶内配置有横轴型滚筒的滚筒式洗衣机中搭载了衣物的烘干功能的滚筒式洗干一体机。Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to a fully automatic integrated washing and drying machine 1 equipped with a drying function of clothes in a so-called pulsator type washing machine is shown. However, the present invention can also be applied to a drum-type washer-dryer equipped with a drying function of clothes in a drum-type washing machine in which a horizontal-axis drum is arranged in an outer tub.
除此之外，本发明的实施方式能在技术方案所示的技术思想的范围内适当地进行各种变更。In addition to this, the embodiments of the present invention can be appropriately modified in various ways within the scope of the technical idea shown in the technical solution.
