It should be noted that in FIG. 3, the same symbols are given to the portions that overlap with FIGS. 1 and 2, and descriptions thereof are omitted. In coin-operated laundry rooms, the cleaner 18 may not be prepared due to cost reasons. As a simple solution to this situation, in order to maintain the filter 7, the clothes dryer 1 may include the brush 21 shown in FIG. 3 instead of the suction nozzle 17.

Description
本发明涉及一种干衣机。
下述专利文献1中所述的气体烘干机包括:设有吸气孔和排气孔的主体箱、配置于主体箱内的旋转滚筒、设置于主体箱内的上部的气体燃烧器以及设置于主体箱内的下部的线屑过滤器。当衣物被投入旋转滚筒且气体燃烧器点火时,从吸气孔吸入的空气变成暖风被供给到旋转滚筒内之后,经由线屑过滤器从排气孔排出。
在专利文献1所述的气体烘干机中,在主体箱内流向排气孔的空气中所含的线屑等异物被线屑过滤器捕获。当大量的异物附着于线屑过滤器时,线屑过滤器的性能会降低,因此,需要定期地从主体箱内取出线屑过滤器进行清理。特别是,在气体烘干机设置于投币洗衣房用作商用的情况下,由于气体烘干机的运转频次高,因此异物会很快存积在线屑过滤器中,因此,投币洗衣房的管理者必须频繁地清理线屑过滤器。

收容部4是圆筒状的滚筒,具有形成有许多贯通孔4A的圆周壁4B、开口4C以及连接于圆周壁4B中的与开口4C侧相反侧的端部的圆形的底壁4D。收容部4以开口4C朝向前侧Y1与箱体2的出入口2C对置的方式,以横向的姿势配置于风路3的中间区域3C。衣物L通过出入口2C和开口4C出入于收容部4内。在箱体2的后壁2B装配有主马达8,主马达8的输出轴8A向前侧Y1突出并配置在中间区域3C内,固定于底壁4D的中央部。当主马达8产生驱动力时,输出轴8A旋转。由此,收容部4绕与输出轴8A一致的中心轴线J与输出轴8A一起旋转。
送风部5是所谓的风扇,包括:在风路3的下游区域3B与排气口2F相邻配置的旋转叶片9、配置于下游区域3B并以可旋转的方式支承旋转叶片9的支承部10以及固定于支承部10并使旋转叶片9旋转的风扇马达11。支承部10包括分隔板10A,该分隔板10A配置于旋转叶片9的前侧Y1,沿左右方向X和上下方向Z延伸(也参照干衣机1的内部的主视图即图2)。通过分隔板10A,下游区域3B被分隔为分隔板10A的前侧Y1的下游前区域3BA和分隔板10A的后侧Y2的下游后区域3BB。在下游后区域3BB配置有旋转叶片9。在分隔板10A设有使下游前区域3BA、下游后区域3BB连通的连通孔10B和将连通孔10B包边并且向下游前区域3BA侧突出的圆环状的肋10C。
当旋转叶片9旋转时,吸气口2E的周边处的箱体2外的空气如多个黑色箭头所示,从吸气口2E被摄入到风路3的上游区域3A,依次穿过风路3的中间区域3C和下游区域3B之后从排气口2F排出到箱体2外。因此,在风路3内的 空气的流动方向上,上游区域3A侧为上游侧,下游区域3B侧为下游侧。流过中间区域3C的空气穿过收容部4的圆周壁4B上的贯通孔4A而吹到收容部4内的衣物L上。下游区域3B内的空气穿过分隔板10A的连通孔10B而从下游前区域3BA流向下游后区域3BB之后,从排气口2F排出。
本实施方式中使用气体燃烧器来作为加热部6,但是也可以使用电热器。加热部6配置于风路3的上游区域3A。加热部6在通过点火而进行工作时会变得高温。因此,在风路3内从吸气口2E流向收容部4的空气在上游区域3A穿过加热部6的周围时会被加热而成为热风。
过滤器7是所谓的线屑过滤器,配置于风路3的下游区域3B。下游区域3B是风路3内的收容部4与排气口2F之间的区域。严格来说,过滤器7配置于下游区域3B中比送风部5的旋转叶片9更靠近收容部4的上游侧的下游前区域3BA。
过滤器7呈圆筒状,以其中心轴线K沿前后方向Y延伸的方式以横向的姿势配置。过滤器7具有构成其轮廓的外周面部7A。外周面部7A的整个区域由网眼或网格构成。外周面部7A的后端部被上述支承部10的分隔板10A的肋10C非接触地包围。过滤器7的内部空间向后侧Y2敞开,与分隔板10A的连通孔10B对置。
在过滤器7设有从前侧Y1堵住其内部空间的圆板状的闭塞部12和穿过中心轴线K向前后方向Y延伸并贯通过滤器7和闭塞部12的旋转轴13。也可以将闭塞部12和旋转轴13看作是过滤器7的一部分。旋转轴13的后端部可旋转地被支承部10支承。在箱体2固定有配置在下游前区域3BA中比闭塞部12靠前侧Y1的支架14。在支架14装配有例如由马达构成的驱动部15。旋转轴13的前端部与驱动部15连结。当驱动部15进行工作时,过滤器7、闭塞部12以及旋转轴13绕中心轴线K进行旋转。过滤器7既可以绕中心轴线K向两个方向旋转,也可以绕中心轴线K只向一个方向旋转。本实施方式中,过滤器7向正面观察时的顺时针方向旋转。
干衣机1包括控制其工作的控制部16(参照图2)。控制部16是包括CPU和ROM、RAM等存储部的微型计算机,例如在箱体2内的上部配置于与风路3隔离的空间中。控制部16分别电连接有加热部6、主马达8、风扇马达11以及 驱动部15。
控制部16通过控制加热部6、主马达8以及风扇马达11来执行烘干运转。具体而言,控制部16在通过使主马达8工作而使收容部4旋转的状态下,通过使加热部6和风扇马达11工作而产生上述的热风。该热风被吹到收容部4内的衣物L上。热风以被旋转的收容部4搅拌的状态吹到衣物L上,因此能促进衣物L的烘干。随着风扇马达11的工作,收容部4内的空气如各图的黑色箭头所示,穿过收容部4的贯通孔4A从收容部4内流出,从上侧Z1流入风路3的下游前区域3BA。过滤器7的外周面部7A的上部位于流入下游前区域3BA的空气的前方。
因此,流入下游前区域3BA的空气穿过过滤器7的外周面部7A的上部而流入过滤器7内,在过滤器7的内部向后侧Y2流动。在过滤器7的内部向后侧Y2流动的空气穿过分隔板10A的连通孔10B而流入下游后区域3BB,从排气口2F排出到箱体2外。需要说明的是,由于外周面部7A的后端部如上所述被分隔板10A的肋10C包围,因此能将过滤器7内的空气无泄漏地送入连通孔10B。
随着衣物L的烘干的进行,会产生灰尘、线屑。灰尘、线屑成为上述的异物,随着风路3内的空气流向下游侧,在穿过过滤器7的外周面部7A的上部时被过滤器7捕获,附着在外周面部7A的上部。因此,外周面部7A中,该上部是捕获异物的捕获区域。控制部16通过定期地使驱动部15工作,从而使过滤器7逐步旋转。例如,每经过规定时间,控制部16就使过滤器7旋转四分之一。由此,过滤器7的外周面部7A中的异物附着少的区域位于外周面部7A的上部,成为上述的捕获区域。需要说明的是,控制部16也可以不是定期地旋转过滤器7,而是以极低速度使过滤器7连续旋转。
这样,过滤器7通过旋转,能改变在其外周面部7A捕获异物的捕获区域。由此,在大量的异物附着于过滤器7的外周面部7A的整个区域而使得过滤器7的性能降低之前,需要时间,因此不需要频繁地维护过滤器7。由此,能实现对过滤器7的维护性的提高。此外,过滤器7以使异物全面地附着于外周面部7A的整个区域的方式捕获异物,因此能抑制过滤器7的性能的急剧降低。
为了维护在外周面部7A附着有异物的过滤器7,干衣机1还包括吸嘴17。 在吸嘴17的顶端部17A形成有前后方向Y上尺寸长的吸引口17B。前后方向Y上的吸引口17B的尺寸与前后方向Y上的外周面部7A的尺寸相同,或者比外周面部7A的尺寸大。吸引口17B从过滤器7的径向上的外侧与外周面部7A对置。以吸嘴17与外周面部7A非接触地接近的程度,在外周面部7A与吸引口17B之间确保细小的间隙。
如图2所示,吸嘴17的根部17C从箱体2的例如右壁2G的下端部露出到箱体2外。在维护过滤器7时,准备公知的清理器18,配置在干衣机1的附近。在吸嘴17的根部17C连接有设置于清理器18的吸引软管19。
当投币洗衣房的管理者将清理器18与吸嘴17连接并使其工作时,附着在过滤器7的外周面部7A的异物从吸嘴17的吸引口17B被吸入清理器18中。进而,当管理者操作干衣机1的操作部(未图示)向控制部16指示维护运转时,控制部16使过滤器7旋转。随着过滤器7的旋转,过滤器7的外周面部7A的整个区域与吸引口17B对置,因此,能从过滤器7的外周面部7A的整个区域去除异物。
因此,管理者可以不通过手动操作将过滤器7卸下来对过滤器7的外周面7A的整个区域进行清理。由此,过滤器7的清理变得容易,因此,能进一步实现对过滤器7的维护性的提高。需要说明的是,维护运转不仅可以在烘干运转之后执行,也可以在烘干运转中并行执行。
例如,吸嘴17的根部17C可以配置为进入投币洗衣房中与店内隔离的管理者用的监控室,清理器18也可以设置在监控室。这种情况下,监控室内的管理者能通过将清理器18的吸引软管19与根部17C连接使其工作来维护过滤器7,而不妨碍店内的顾客。
这种情况下,可以是,多个干衣机1的根部17C以进入监控室的方式配置,吸引软管19分支后与各个根部17C连接。由此,能通过一台清理器18将多个干衣机1的过滤器7的异物集中回收。也就是说能集中维护多个干衣机1的过滤器7。
进而,在清理器18始终与吸嘴17连接的状态下,维护过滤器7时,清理器18也可以与过滤器7的旋转连动并根据控制部16的指示等进行工作。由此, 能实现过滤器7的自动维护,因此,实际上不再需要管理者为了维护过滤器7而进行的手动操作,管理者只要偶尔将回收到清理器18中的异物废弃即可。
图3是本发明的其他实施方式的干衣机1的内部的主视图。需要说明的是,图3中,对于与图1和图2重复的部分赋予相同的符号并省略其说明。投币洗衣房中,由于成本上的原因等,有时无法准备清理器18。作为这种情况的简易方案,为了维护过滤器7,干衣机1可以包括图3所示的刷子21来代替吸嘴17。刷子21具有杆22和许多毛23,其中,杆22具有固定在箱体2的例如右壁2G的根部22A,毛23植接于杆22的顶端部22B。毛23处于与过滤器7的外周面部7A接触的状态。
这种情况下,作为上述的维护运转,当控制部16使过滤器7旋转时,能将过滤器7的外周面部7A的异物聚集到刷子21的毛23上或从外周面部7A刮落。因此,管理者可以不通过手动操作将过滤器7卸下来对过滤器7的外周面部7A的整个区域进行清理。由此,能进一步实现对过滤器7的维护性的提高。需要说明的是,管理者打开箱体2的维护门2D(参照图1中用虚线表示的维护门2D),探入风路3的下游前区域3BA,将附着在刷子21的毛23上的异物、从过滤器7刮落而存积在箱体2的底壁2H的异物集中回收。
本发明不局限于如上进行了说明的实施方式,可以在技术方案所述的范围内进行各种变形。
例如,上述实施方式中的干衣机1中,既可以以中心轴线J相对于水平方向倾斜的方式倾斜配置收容部4,也可以以中心轴线J沿上下方向Z延伸的方式纵向配置收容部4。
干衣机1也可以是还具备洗涤衣物的功能的洗干一体机。
