The clothing of oven dry can produce Soft flocks dust compositions such as () broken the end of a thread in swing roller 3.Soft flocks heat exchanger HEX adhere to and accumulation can cause the reduction of the rate of heat exchange of oven dry cycle efficieny of air and heat exchanger HEX.
Laundry apparatus 500 has the filter house 40 of the upstream that is arranged on heat exchanger HEX.Filter house 40 captured and reclaimed foreign matters (Soft flocks) such as broken the end of a thread, dust, pollen from the oven dry air before the oven dry air is by heat exchanger HEX, enter heat exchanger HEX to suppress Soft flocks.The filter house 40 that is installed in the circulation wind path 8 at the upper space of basket 1 is close with antetheca 1e.Therefore, directly carry out upkeep operation near wanting to remove the user of the Soft flocks that are trapped in filter house 40 or antetheca 1e that the operating personnel can stand in basket 1.In view of the above, laundry apparatus 500 can be realized efficient upkeep operation.
As shown in Figure 5, filter house 40 comprises the 1st filter 40A and is arranged on the 2nd filter 40B in the 1st filter 40A downstream.The filter screen eye of the 1st filter 40A is bigger than the 2nd filter 40B.Therefore, the 2nd filter 40B captures and reclaims thinner Soft flocks and other foreign matters by the 1st filter 40A.Its result is because of the decline of the cycle efficieny of the decline of the heat exchanger effectiveness that adheres to caused heat pump assembly 30 of Soft flocks and other foreign matters and air supplying part 9 is inhibited.In addition, filter house 40 inhibition Soft flocks and other foreign matters disperse outside basket 1.Therefore, the pollution around the laundry apparatus 500 is inhibited.
As shown in Figure 2, the upper wall 1c at basket 1 is formed with peristome 40c.By near the peristome 40c the leading edge that is formed at upper wall 1c to circulation wind path 8 installation or removal the 1st filter 40A.Therefore, user or operating personnel can stand near the antetheca 1e of basket 1 directly to basket 1 installation or removal the 1st filter 40A.In view of the above, laundry apparatus 500 can be realized high efficiency upkeep operation.
Different with the 1st filter 40A, the 2nd filter 40B is fixed in the circulation wind path 8.The 1st filter 40A removed the airborne Soft flocks of oven dry and other foreign matters before the 2nd filter 40B, therefore the frequency of the 2nd filter 40B obstruction is smaller.In addition, the peristome 40c of the upper wall 1c that user or operating personnel can be by being formed at basket 1 cleans the 2nd filter 40B.Therefore, eliminate the obstruction that is fixed on the 2nd filter 40B in the circulation wind path 8 and do not need a large amount of labours.
After the 2nd filter 40B, be provided with heat exchanger HEX.As mentioned above, flow through the refrigerant that compression unit 31 becomes high temperature among the heat exchanger HEX.The 2nd filter 40B that is fixed in the circulation wind path 8 can prevent from the unskilled user of upkeep operation is easily touched heat exchanger HEX.In addition, different with the 1st filter 40A, the 2nd filter 40B is fixed in the circulation wind path 8, thereby the position of the 2nd filter 40B hardly can change.Therefore, because of being provided with the situation that caused Soft flocks enter heat exchanger HEX, the 2nd filter 40B incorrect be suppressed preferably.
Filter house 40 can cause drying air and produce pressure loss.The result of pressure loss, the VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION of oven dry air can smoothing (promptly drying the mobile by rectification of air).As Fig. 4 and shown in Figure 5, filter house 40 is arranged on before the heat exchanger HEX.Therefore, through the oven dry air inflow heat exchanger HEX of rectification.
Usually, if for the circulation wind path is shortened in the miniaturization that realizes laundry apparatus, then be difficult in the circulation wind path, be provided with rectification mechanism (straight tube for example, straight pipe), and in the present embodiment, because filter house 40 will dry the air rectification, therefore dry between the flow region of rectifier need of air and shorten.Suppressed the significantly change of the locality of heat exchanger effectiveness through the inflow of the oven dry air heat exchanger HEX of rectification.Its result, the heat exchanger effectiveness of heat exchanger HEX improves.
As mentioned above, the filter house 40 of heat exchanger HEX upstream need not to be provided with rectification mechanism (for example straight tube) in circulation wind path 8, just can realize the rectification of oven dry air.In view of the above, can suitably shorten circulation wind path 8.
As Fig. 1 and shown in Figure 5, the dehumidification portion 34 of heat exchanger HEX comprises the approaching face 534 that the oven dry air flows into.Filter house 40 be arranged on approaching face 534 near.Therefore, filter house 40 by the oven dry air linearity of rectification be sent dehumidification portion 34 after being arranged on filter house 40.
As mentioned above, 40 pairs of oven dry of filter house air carries out rectification.The rectification meeting of the oven dry air that filter house 40 carries out reduces the flow velocity of oven dry air.Because circulation wind path 8 allows the flow direction bending of oven dry air hardly between filter house 40 and approaching face 534, therefore dry air after flow velocity reduces immediately linearity inflow dehumidification portion 34.Its result, the oven dry air by dehumidification portion 34 can not become high flow rate locally, is inhibited the dispersing of water constituent of dehumidification portion 34 dewfall.
As shown in Figure 5, laundry apparatus 500 also comprises the recovery structure 35 of the water constituent that is used to be recovered in dehumidification portion 34 dewfall.Recovery structure 35 is arranged on the below of dehumidification portion 34.As mentioned above, filter house 40 is suppressed at the dispersing of water constituent of dehumidification portion 34 dewfall, therefore, can use small-sized recovery structure 35 recycle-water composition fully.Therefore, can provide small-sized laundry apparatus 500.
In recovery structure 35, be formed with recess (not shown).Water constituent in dehumidification portion 34 dewfall drips to recess along the surface of dehumidification portion 34.Recess is formed in the scope that can receive the water constituent that disperses downstream because of the oven dry air.
As mentioned above, the filter house 40 that the oven dry air is carried out rectification is suppressed at the dispersing of water constituent of dehumidification portion 34 dewfall.Therefore, it is smaller to be used to receive the area of recess of the water constituent that drips from dehumidification portion 34.Therefore, can use small-sized recovery structure 35 recycle-water composition fully.
As mentioned above, the water constituent that has suppressed to disperse by filter house 40 is recovered structure 35 and suitably reclaims.The water constituent that is reclaimed comparatively it is desirable to discharge outside laundry apparatus 500 from the recess of recovery structure 35.For example, water constituent also can be discharged to the water discharge outlet that is arranged on basket 1 below with washings.
Recovery structure 35 is arranged on the upper space of basket 1 with heat exchanger HEX.Therefore, the water constituent that is reclaimed by recovery structure 35 can utilize potential energy suitably to discharge.Need not to be provided with special-purpose device for transferring such as pump from recovery structure 35 discharge water compositions.Therefore, can provide small-sized laundry apparatus 500.

(supporting mechanism)
Fig. 7 is a stereogram of roughly representing the supporting member of laundry apparatus 500.Fig. 8 is a stereogram of roughly representing laundry apparatus 500.Utilize Fig. 6 to Fig. 8 that supporting member is described.
Laundry apparatus 500 also is included in the supporting mechanism 560 that supports heat pump assembly 30 in the basket 1.Supporting mechanism 560 comprises supporting member 61 that supports heat pump assembly 30 and the limiting member 62 that suppresses the displacement upward of heat pump assembly 30.
As shown in Figure 7, the two ends of the supporting member 61 of support heat pump assembly 30 are sticked in the upper limb of right side wall 1a and the upper limb of left side wall 1b respectively between compression unit 31 and limiting member 62.Equally, the two ends of limiting member 62 are sticked in the upper limb of right side wall 1a and the upper limb of left side wall 1b respectively.
Below the heating part 32 of the upstream that is arranged at compression unit 31 and/or dehumidification portion 34, the supporting member 61 that extends between right side wall 1a and left side wall 1b supports heat pump assemblies 30.Comparing further from the position of compression unit 31 displacement upward of the limiting member 62 restriction heat pump assemblies 30 that between right side wall 1a and left side wall 1b, extend with supporting member 61.In the present embodiment, supporting member 61 is adjacent to compression unit 31.Limiting member 62 extends above the filter house 40 of the upstream that is arranged at heat pump assembly 30.
In heat pump assembly 30, compression unit 31 has bigger weight.The weight of compression unit 31 puts on right side wall 1a and left side wall 1b by near the supporting member 61 of support heat pump assembly 30 compression unit 31.Its result, the weight of compression unit 31 reduce the vibration because of the upper limb of caused right side wall 1a of the vibration factors such as rotation of swing roller 3 and left side wall 1b.The mass loading that puts on the heat pump assembly 30 of right side wall 1a and left side wall 1b means the increase of the vibrating mass group's who comprises right side wall 1a and left side wall 1b weight.The increase of weight that comprises the vibrating mass group of right side wall 1a and left side wall 1b finally makes the reduction with respect to the vibration amplitude of same exciting force (excitation force).Like this, because the right side wall 1a of basket 1 and left side wall 1b bear the bigger power towards the below, therefore even be subjected under the situation of influence of the rotation of swing roller 3 and other vibration factors as right side wall 1a and left side wall 1b, the vibration of right side wall 1a and left side wall 1b also can reduce preferably.Its result, the vibration of basket 1 is suppressed on the whole.
The supporting mechanism 560 that possesses supporting member 61, utilization acts on the gravity of the heat pump assembly 30 that comprises compression unit 31 and pushes the upper limb of right side wall 1a and left side wall 1b, thereby suppresses rotation and the right side wall 1a of the caused basket 1 of other vibration factors and the vibration of left side wall 1b because of swing roller 3 effectively.
Fig. 9 is the stereogram of other configurations of expression supporting member in laundry apparatus 500.Figure 10 is the approximate three-dimensional map of laundry apparatus 500.Utilize Fig. 9 and Figure 10 that other configurations of supporting member are described.

Act on the compression stress of supporting member 61,63, also act on fixed components such as the screw of fixed support member 61,63 and heat pump assembly 30/ air supplying part 9 and screw-thread bush.Yet these are different with tensile force, and fixed component is difficult for because of the compression stress breakage.
In the present embodiment, supporting member 61,63 is provided with near the bigger compression unit 31 of weight ratio.Its result produces moment around supporting member 61,63.Moment around the supporting member 61,63 is floated the lighter parts (filter house 40 and heat exchanger HEX) between supporting member 61,63 and antetheca 1e.Moment around the supporting member 61,63 produces compression stresses to the limiting member 62 of the top that is erected at heat pump assembly 30 and/or filter house 40.Act on the compression stress of limiting member 62, also act on fixed components such as the screw of fixed constraints member 62 and heat pump assembly 30 and/or filter house 40 and screw-thread bush.Yet these are different with tensile force, and fixed component is difficult for because of the compression stress breakage.
The height dimension of the basket of common laundry apparatus can increase according to the height dimension of the supporting member of the parts that support upper space.
In the present embodiment, swing roller 3 and tank 2 tilt in basket 1.Its result and compares near the antetheca 1e, and upper space enlarges near rear wall 1d.The parts that volume ratio is bigger (compression unit 31 and/or air supplying part 9) are arranged near the upper space of rear wall 1d.Therefore, can not cause the height dimension of basket 1 to increase, can guarantee to be used to be provided with the bigger space of supporting member 61,63.
Use Fig. 4 that the fixedly structure of air supplying part 9 and heat pump assembly 30 is described.
