Below, the effect of the scrubbing-and-drying unit of said structure is described.
When the washing running, open door 3, put into inner core 11 from washings gateway 2 with washings (clothing), close door 3 then, the console switch of operating operation panel 4 is connected power supply, selects washing process, start-up operation.
If like this, control device 38 at first enters the process of washing of washing process, the water supply of open feed water valve 34 tube connector 36 sides.Like this, the water by feed water valve 34 is supplied with from waterings such as above-mentioned running water is conducted in the urceolus 9 with tube connector 36 from supplying water by water supply shell 37.In addition, be provided with washing agent in water supply shell 37, set washing agent is (and in inner core 11) in above-mentioned water supply is conducted to urceolus 9.
In the case, if control device 38 is exported by the detection of level sensor 40, judge that the water level that stores of (and in inner core 11) has reached fixing water level in the urceolus 9, then close feed water valve 34, termination in above-mentioned urceolus 9 (and in inner core 11) is supplied water.
Then, control device 38 starters 17.Thereby as one man rotate inner core 11 at the rotating shaft 17c with motor 17, agitator treating is housed in its inner washings.In addition, the rotation of inner core 11 is at this moment undertaken by switching on positive and negative both direction.
Then, control device 38 open row water valves 20.Thereby the water of (and in inner core 11) is discharged outside the machine through drainpipe 21 from draining valve 20 in the urceolus 9.
Then, control device 38 cuts out draining valve 20, stops the draining of in above-mentioned urceolus 9 (and in inner core 11).
In addition, also have rinse cycle in washing process except the process of cleaning, control device 38 carries out rinse cycle after the process of cleaning.This rinse cycle is not for using the cleaning running of washing agent.
After rinse cycle, carry out dehydration, dry run successively.Wherein, dehydration is under the state of opening water discharge valve 20, by rotating inner core 11 at a high speed, by centrifugal force the moisture content of washings in the inner core 11 is discharged from aperture 12 centrifugal dehydrations.
In dry run, switch low speed rotation inner core 11 by motor 17 at both forward and reverse directions, and move pressure fan 22 simultaneously, thereby the air in the inner core 11 circulates by circulation ventilation device 31.And at this moment, water filling by open feed water valve 34 is used pipe 33 sides with connecting, to send into the water-feed 32 with tube connector 33 via water filling from the water that waterings such as above-mentioned running water are supplied with by feed water valve 34, and from this injector 32 according to the direction injection of the flowing opposite of circulated air in pipeline 30.Thereby in pipeline 30, by cool cycles air dewetting.Air by heater 23 these dehumidifying of heating obtains hot blast, and it is sent in the inner core 11 successively, with the washings in the dry inner core 11.Therefore at this moment, the circulation ventilation device 31 that comprises motor 17, pressure fan 22 and heater 23 has the function as drying device.
In addition, in this dry run, judge the temperature of the air (circulated air) by circulation ventilation device 31 when the detection output of control device 38 by temperature sensor 42 and reach the temperature of regulation when above, be considered as drying and finish, stop dry run, finished a series of washing process.Therefore at this moment, temperature sensor 42 has the function as dry checkout gear.
The clothing that is attached with dust such as pollen is put into inner core 11, if " dedusting " process of selection, start running, control device 38, by motor 17 inner core 11 is switched and low speed rotation at positive and negative both direction, and move pressure fan 22 simultaneously, thereby the air in the inner core 11 is circulated by circulation ventilation device 31.And this moment, water filling tube connector 33 sides by open feed water valve 34, to send into the injector 32 with tube connector 33 from water filling from the water that waterings such as running water are supplied with through feed water valve 34, from this injector 32 according to pass through the opposite direction flow in pipes 30 of pipeline 30 flow air.That is, carry out with above-mentioned washing process in the independent identical content of dry run.
But in this turned round, when the rotation of passing through inner core 11, when the dust that dust breaks away from, breaks away from from clothing passed through pipeline 30 by the carrying of circulated air, dust was adsorbed to injector 32 and is removed according to the water of the direction injection opposite with circulated air.In addition, the dust that is come off arrives in the urceolus 9 with the bottom of water from pipeline 30, and at this moment (also being like this in the dry run of above-mentioned washing process) discharges outside the machine via drainpipe 21 from the draining valve 20 of open state.
In addition, in this " dedusting " process, the termination of dedusting running does not also rely on the testing result of temperature sensor 42 (dry checkout gear), and is for example undertaken by time set.By such setting, even the clothing of drying is put into inner core, can directly not stop the dedusting running yet, can carry out the dedusting running fully.And its time is set and for example carries out respectively according to different pattern (mode), is 30 minutes in simple mode (easymode), is 45 minutes in general mode (normal mode), is 60 minutes in fine pattern (elaborate mode).Thereby can be according to the dust degree of adhesion of clothing or the amount of clothing are carried out the dedusting running.
Therefore, can as existing rinsing maching, use filter to remove attached to the dust on the clothing.Therefore, do not need to carry out the regular cleaning essential to filter.And, can not produce owing to this filter of cleaning makes the dust that is removed be adsorbed onto the problem on user's the clothing once more by user's suction or dust.
In addition, in the scrubbing-and-drying unit of this structure, can according to the user the dedicated process (" dust removal process ") that may select carry out above-mentioned dedusting running, thereby can easily use, even those wools that can not wash (wool coat) also can remove the dust of attachment removal fully.But the dedusting running also can be carried out with other running combination.
And, in the scrubbing-and-drying unit of this structure, also can make inner core 11 around the rotation of inclined shaft direction, thereby can make dust releasing by more effectively stirring clothing, therefore can more effectively remove dust.But inner core 11 also can obtain this effect not around inclined shaft and center on the horizontal axis rotation.
In addition, in the scrubbing-and-drying unit of this structure, in the dedusting running, the water that is injected in the pipeline 30 is discharged to outside the machine, therefore, the dust of removing from clothing can not remain in the machine, thereby needn't maintain (maintenance) to it.
In addition, in the scrubbing-and-drying unit of this structure, circulation ventilation device 31 all can be used as dedusting running and dry operating with water filling device 35, like this, the device of other special uses can be do not needed to use, thereby the increase of product cost (product cost) can be suppressed.
Wherein, when above-mentioned dedusting is turned round, preferably when carrying out drying, further increase the air circulation of pressure fan 22.The air quantity of the circulation ventilation device 31 outside the machine will be sent from the dust that clothing breaks away from thereby can increase, and dust can be more effectively removed.In addition, the rotary speed that can pass through the motor 26 of increase pressure fan 22 increases air circulation, for example is increased to 4800rpm from 4000rpm when carrying out drying, and this air circulation can increase by 20%, thereby can more effectively remove dust.
In addition, when dedusting is turned round, reduce when the rotary speed of inner core 11 also can be than dry operating (for example being reduced to 50rpm).Therefore can avoid clothing to be attached on the face on every side of inner core 11, thereby can stir clothing effectively, dust is broken away from from clothing owing to centrifugal force.Wherein, the switching frequency of inner core 11 direction of rotation can also increase this frequency (for example 15 seconds each) than dry operating (for example 30 seconds each).Therefore, can increase the stirring frequency of clothing effectively, dust is come off from clothing.In addition, the rotation of the inner core 11 that makes for this dedusting running reduces rotary speed in the time of also can adopting dry operation simultaneously and the switching frequency of the direction of rotation of increase inner core 11 when drying move.
In addition, when dedusting is turned round, preferably use the heater 28 heat cycles wind of heater 23.Therefore, when clothing is moistened by rain and when containing moistures such as sweat, along with the drying of this clothing, dust can come off from this clothing.
On the other hand, when dedusting is turned round, also can stop the heater 28 of the heater 23 of heat cycles wind, reduce the heat that adds of heater 28 during perhaps than dry operating.Thereby can reduce power consumption, and energy savings (energy).
Therefore, the heating of 28 pairs of circulated airs of heater in the time of also can carrying out the dedusting running according to user's selection.
