Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は洗濯機および洗濯乾燥機に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
洗濯乾燥機は、衣類の洗濯行程に続けて洗濯兼脱水槽内の衣類に温風を接触させて乾燥させる乾燥行程を備えるものであるが、衣類の乾燥のみを行なうものとして衣類乾燥機が周知である。かかる衣類乾燥機において、回転ドラムに温風を供給して衣類を乾燥させるとともに、少なくとも抗菌性、抗黴性、防臭性、防虫性のいずれか一種の性状を有する薬剤を揮発拡散させて衣類に抗菌、抗黴、防臭、防虫処理ができるようにしたものがある。
【０００３】
これは、例えば、衣類を転動攪拌する回転ドラム内への送風経路に乾燥用ヒータを設け、回転ドラムと熱交換型ファンをモータにより駆動して回転ドラム内に温風を送り、回転ドラム内に少なくとも抗菌性、抗黴性、防臭性、防虫性のいずれか一種の性状を有する薬剤を気化供給する薬剤供給手段と、前記薬剤供給手段を加熱する加熱手段とを備えるものである（例えば特許文献１参照）。
【０００４】
また、他の例として、衣類を転動攪拌する回転ドラム内へ乾燥用空気を供給し、乾燥用空気を供給する循環ダクトに乾燥用空気を加熱するヒータを設け、回転ドラム内に少なくとも抗菌性、抗黴性、防臭性、防虫性のいずれか一種の性状を有する薬剤を気化供給する薬剤供給手段を設け、この薬剤供給手段を乾燥用空気が持つ熱により加熱し薬剤を気化供給するようにしている（例えば特許文献２参照）。

【０００６】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前記従来技術は、衣類の乾燥のみを目的とした衣類乾燥機において抗菌、抗黴、防臭、防虫処理をなすもので、衣類の乾燥に深くかかわり、その前段階である衣類の洗浄を行なう洗濯機や、洗濯の行程と乾燥行程とを続けて行なう機能を有する洗濯乾燥機においては、衣類の防臭、防虫などを目的とした処理はなされていないため、衣類の抗菌、抗黴、防臭、防虫管理としては十分なものとはいえなかった。
【０００７】
この発明の目的は前記従来例の不都合を解消し、洗濯機や洗濯乾燥機など洗濯機能を有する機器においても、衣類の黄ばみや防黴、防臭を図ることができ、衣類の傷みを防止できる洗濯機および洗濯乾燥機を提供することにある。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明は前記目的を達成するため、請求項１記載の本発明は、外箱と、この外箱内に洗濯兼脱水槽を回転自在に配設し、外気を吸込み、洗濯兼脱水槽内に外気を供給する手段を備える洗濯機において、供給する外気の吹出口周辺または外気の供給通路周辺に、揮発性の抗酸化成分を含有する材料を搭載し、前記洗濯兼脱水槽内に抗酸化成分を拡散させることを特徴とする。
【０００９】
請求項１記載の本発明によれば、洗濯後の衣類を乾燥させるために吹出口から洗濯兼脱水槽内に外気を供給するとき、吸込んだ外気は吹出口周辺や供給通路周辺に搭載した揮発性の抗酸化成分を含有する材料の中を通過するから、洗濯兼脱水槽内に供給される外気にこの抗酸化成分が含まれることになり、洗濯兼脱水槽内に抗酸化成分が拡散される。よって、洗濯兼脱水槽内にある衣類にこの抗酸化成分が付着し、汚れ残りや洗剤残りから発生する衣類の黄ばみを抑制し、また、防黴、防虫も図れる。
【００１０】
請求項４記載の本発明は、外箱と、この外箱内に洗濯兼脱水槽を回転自在に配設し、この洗濯兼脱水槽に駆動用のモータを接続し、乾燥行程時には洗濯兼脱水槽内に温風を供給する手段を備える洗濯乾燥機において、供給する温風の吹出口周辺または温風の供給通路周辺に、揮発性の抗酸化成分を含有する材料を搭載し、前記洗濯兼脱水槽内に抗酸化成分を拡散させることを特徴とする。
【００１１】
請求項４記載の本発明によれば、乾燥行程で衣類を乾燥させるとき、温風の吹出口から洗濯兼脱水槽内に吹出される温風は、吹出口周辺や温風の供給通路周辺に搭載した揮発性の抗酸化成分を含有する材料の中を通過するから、洗濯兼脱水槽内に供給される外気にこの抗酸化成分が含まれることになり、洗濯兼脱水槽内に抗酸化成分が拡散される。よって、洗濯兼脱水槽内にある衣類にこの抗酸化成分が付着し、汚れ残りや洗剤残りから発生する衣類の黄ばみを抑制し、また、防黴、防虫も図れる。そして、抗酸化成分を含有する材料は温風で加温されるから、揮発しやすくなり、黄ばみ防止や防黴、防虫効果が高まる。
【００１２】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図面についてこの発明の実施の形態を詳細に説明する。図１はこの発明の第１実施形態を示す洗濯機の縦断側面図で、洗濯兼脱水槽内に外気を供給する手段を備えるものであり、かかる洗濯機の全体構成から説明する。
【００１３】
外箱１内に水槽２を防振装置を介して揺動自在に吊支し、この水槽２内に底部に回転翼４を設けた洗濯兼脱水槽３を回転自在に配設し、水槽２の上端縁には、洗濯兼脱水槽３の上部の開口縁に取付けたバランサ６の上方を覆うようにして水槽カバー５が取り付けてある。また、外箱１の上部には水槽カバー５の上方を覆うようにして蓋７を設けたトップカバー８が配設される。
【００１４】
水槽２の底部の下方に、モータ９を配設し、このモータ９から下方に向けて突出する駆動軸にプーリ１０ａと一体の冷却用のモータファン１０を結合し、同じく水槽２の底部の下方に配設した減速機構１１の回転軸に連結したプーリ１２とをベルト１３で連結した。
【００１５】
かかる構成の洗濯機において、洗濯兼脱水槽３内に外気を供給する手段として前記蓋７に吸気口７ａを形成し、洗濯兼脱水槽３に供給された外気を排出する手段として回転翼４に通気孔１４を形成し、洗濯兼脱水槽３の底部に排水兼排気孔１５を設け、また、外箱１の上部後壁面に排出口１６を形成した。
【００１６】
さらに、この発明では供給する外気の吹出口の周辺箇所として図１に示すように吸気口７ａの下部または図示は省略するが外気の供給通路周辺として蓋７の下方位置でトップカバー８内に、揮発性の抗酸化成分を含有する材料である抗酸化剤１７を搭載する。
【００１７】
揮発性の抗酸化成分を含有する材料は、衣類の汚れ残りや洗剤残りから発生する黄ばみを抑制し、また、衣類の防黴、防臭効果も期待できるものとして、例えば、天然素材のローズマリーなどのハーブを使用し、このような材料を粉末の状態にして例えばティーバッグの袋のようなカートリッジ方式の容器に充填する。この容器は外気の供給を妨げない構造のものとする。
【００１８】
次ぎに作用について説明する。洗い行程、すすぎ行程、脱水行程が自動的に進行し、脱水行程の終了後、洗濯物１８に含まれている水分をさらに減少させるたため、洗濯兼脱水槽３、または洗濯兼脱水槽３と回転翼４とを回転させる。この洗濯兼脱水槽３と回転翼４の回転作用により遠心力が発生すると同時に、洗濯兼脱水槽３の上方に位置する吸気口７ａから外気が洗濯兼脱水槽３内に取り入れられる。
【００１９】
吸気口７ａから吸込まれる外気は、ここを通過する際に、抗酸化剤１７の中を通りぬける。これにより外気は抗酸化剤１７の成分を含んだものとなり、このような外気が洗濯兼脱水槽３内に拡散されて洗濯物１８に接触する。その結果、洗濯物１８はこれに含まれている水分が気化され水分量が減少するとともに、外気に含まれた抗酸化剤１７の成分が付着することによって汚れ残りや洗剤残りから発生する黄ばみや油汚れによる酸化が抑制され、防黴、防臭も図れる。また、洗濯物１８だけでなく、洗濯機の機体も抗酸化成分に接触することで同様の効果が得られる。
【００２０】
洗濯物１８と接触して水分を含んだ外気の一部は回転翼４に多数形成された通気孔１４から洗濯兼脱水槽３の底部に形成した排水兼排気孔１５を通って、洗濯兼脱水槽３外に流れ出て、洗濯兼脱水槽３と水槽２との隙間を通って外箱１の上部後壁面に形成した排出口１６から機外へと排出される。
【００２１】
また、残りの外気は、洗濯兼脱水槽３の上部の衣類投入口である開口から外箱１内に排出され、ここから排気口１６へと直接流れ出る。
【００２２】
以上のようにして吸気した外気に抗酸化剤１７の成分を混入してこれを洗濯物１８に付着させるものであるが、外気の取込み量を制御することで抗酸化成分の拡散量を可変とすることができる。
【００２３】
外気の取込み量の制御は、洗濯兼脱水槽３や回転翼４の回転数、すなわちモータ９の回転数を可変とし、または、回転速度を変化させることで、洗濯兼脱水槽３内に圧力を発生させ、外気を取込みやすくして、外気の流れに強弱をつける。これにより、洗濯物１８の水分の気化蒸発を促進させることができるだけでなく、抗酸化成分の拡散量も増加でき、効率よく拡散できる。また、回転方向を左右に可変とすれば、取込んだ外気の流れが変わり、洗濯物１８をほぐす作用が発生し、洗濯物１８に満遍なく外気を当てることができて、抗酸化成分も洗濯物１８の各部に均等に付着させることができるようになる。
【００２４】
洗濯兼脱水槽３の回転終了後に回転翼４のみを回転させて洗濯兼脱水槽３内の洗濯物１８を掻き落とし、ほぐすようにすることでも洗濯物１８に抗酸化剤１７の成分を含んだ外気を満遍なく接触させることができる。
【００２５】
図２は第２実施形態を示し、脱水行程の次ぎに乾燥行程を設けた洗濯乾燥機に実施する場合である。洗濯乾燥機の構成を説明すると、基本構成は図１に示した全自動一槽式洗濯機と同様であり、同一の構成要素には同一の参照符号を付してここでの詳細な説明は省略する。
【００２６】
洗濯乾燥機は、第１実施形態の洗濯機の構成に加えて、乾燥行程時に洗濯兼脱水槽３内に温風を供給する手段として、モータファン１０をファンケーシング１９で覆い、このファンケーシング１９に一端を開口する送風ダクト２０を水槽２の外壁にそって立ち上げ、この送風ダクト２０の上端を水槽カバー５の開口縁に開口する。
【００２７】
送風ダクト２０は、水槽２に沿ってこれと平行に立ち上がる箇所では、水槽２の外壁をダクト壁と共用し、水槽２の外壁で送風ダクト２０の一部を構成する。また、送風ダクト２０の上部の開口２０ａも水槽カバー５の開口縁で開口２０ａの一部を構成する。
【００２８】
そして、送風ダクト２０の内部に加熱手段としてのヒータ２１および送風ファン２２を配設する。
【００２９】
かかる構成の洗濯乾燥機において、この発明ではさらに送風ダクト２０の吹出口である開口２０ａの周辺、または、図示は省略するが送風ダクト２０の内部などの周辺に、揮発性の抗酸化成分を含有する材料である抗酸化剤１７を搭載する。
【００３０】
揮発性の抗酸化成分を含有する材料は、第１実施形態と同様に衣類の汚れ残りや洗剤残りから発生する黄ばみを抑制し、また、衣類の防黴、防臭効果も期待できるものとして、例えば、天然素材のローズマリーなどのハーブを使用し、このような材料を粉末の状態にして例えばティーバッグの袋のようなカートリッジ方式の容器に充填する。この容器は外気の供給を妨げない構造のものとする。
【００３１】
また、抗酸化剤１７は後述のように温風により加熱されるものであることから、常温での揮発を防止するために高温で揮発するようにしておく。
【００３２】
図３は、抗酸化剤１７の装着場所である水槽カバー５の具体例の一例を示し、水槽カバー５に抗酸化剤１７の装填用の扁平な凹部５ａを形成する。この凹部５ａは、送風ダクト２０および開口２０ａに連通するものであり、底部に多数の通気孔２３を穿設する。図中５ｂは凹部５ａを覆うカバーを示す。
【００３３】
次ぎに作用について説明する。乾燥行程でヒータ２１と送風ファン２２に通電すれば、ヒータ２１で加熱された空気が送風ダクト２０の吹出口である開口２０ａから洗濯兼脱水槽３内に吹出す。このとき、水槽カバー５の凹部５ａに装填されている抗酸化剤１７の部分を温風が通過することで、開口２０ａおよび孔２３から洗濯兼脱水槽３内に吹出す温風には抗酸化剤１７の成分が含まれる。また、抗酸化剤１７は温風によって加熱されるから揮発しやすくなり、効率よく空気中に取込まれる。
【００３４】
このようにして抗酸化剤１７の抗酸化成分を含有した空気は、洗濯兼脱水槽３内に拡散されて洗濯物１８に接触する。その結果、洗濯物１８はこれに含まれている水分が気化され水分量が減少するとともに、外気に含まれた抗酸化剤１７の成分が付着することによって汚れ残りや洗剤残りから発生する黄ばみや油汚れによる酸化が抑制され、防黴、防臭も図れる。また、洗濯物１８だけでなく、洗濯機の機体も抗酸化成分に接触することで同様の効果が得られる。
【００３５】
また、乾燥行程で洗濯兼脱水槽３内に温風を供給する場合、前記のようにヒータ２１と送風ファン２２を使用することなく、モータ９の排熱を利用することもできる。この場合は、モータ９に通電すれば、モータ冷却用のモータファン１０が回転し、モータ９の排熱により暖められた空気が温風としてモータファン１０により送風ダクト２０を介して吹出口である開口２０ａに送られ、ここから洗濯兼脱水槽３内に送風され、洗濯兼脱水槽３内の洗濯物１８に当てられる。
【００３６】
このようにモータ９の排熱を利用して温風を洗濯兼脱水槽３内に供給する場合も、ヒータ２１で加熱した温風を供給する場合と同様に、温風は吹出す際に抗酸化剤１７を通過するから、ここで抗酸化成分が含まれる。よって、抗酸化成分が含まれた温風が洗濯兼脱水槽３内に供給される。
【００３７】
温風の温度および温風の供給量はこれを制御することができ、これにより洗濯兼脱水槽３内への抗酸化成分の拡散量を可変とすることができる。温風の温度および温風の供給量の制御は、ヒータ２１を使用する場合は、ヒータ２１の温度と送風ファン２２の風量を変えることで行ない、モータ９の排熱を利用する場合は、モータファン１０の回転数を変えることで行なう。
【００３８】
図４は、洗濯乾燥機を回転ドラム式とした場合であり、これは前部に衣類の出し入れ用の扉３３を設けた外箱３４内に配設した水槽となるケーシング３５の内部に洗濯兼脱水槽となる回転ドラム３６を軸着したもので、回転ドラム３６およびケーシング３５の背面側には吸気口３１が形成され、前面側には排気口３２が形成されている。
【００３９】
前記ケーシング３５の底部の下方に位置させてモータ２４を外箱３４に固定し、このモータ２４の回転駆動軸に送風ファン２５とこの送風ファン２５に一体のプーリ２９を取り付け、このプーリ２９を回転ドラム３６の回転軸に取り付けたプーリ２８とベルト３０で連結する。
【００４０】
前記送風ファン２５をファンケーシング２６で覆い、このファンケーシング２６に一端を開口する送風ダクト２７を外箱３４の内壁にそって立ち上げ、この送風ダクト２７の上端を吸気口３１に開口する。
【００４１】
送風ダクト２７は、外箱３４に沿ってこれと平行に立ち上がる箇所では、外箱３４の内壁面に密着させる。
【００４２】
かかる構成の回転ドラム式の洗濯乾燥機において、この発明では前記構成に加えて、前記吸気口３１に抗酸化剤１７を搭載する。この抗酸化剤１７の搭載手段は前記図１に示した洗濯機と同様であり、粉末状の抗酸化剤１７を容器に充填したものを吸気口３１に装着する。また、抗酸化剤１７の構成も前記図１、図２に示した実施形態と同様であるから、ここでの詳細な説明は省略する。
【００４３】
乾燥行程で回転ドラム３６内の衣類を乾燥するには、モータ２４に通電すれば、モータ冷却用の送風ファン２５が回転し、モータ２４の排熱で暖められた空気が温風として送風ファン２５により送風ダクト２７を介して上方の吸気口３１に送られ、ここから回転ドラム３６内に送風される。
【００４４】
このとき、吸気口３１に装填されている抗酸化剤１７の部分を温風が通過することで、回転ドラム３６内に吹出す温風には抗酸化剤１７の成分が含まれる。また、抗酸化剤１７は温風によって加熱されるから揮発しやすくなり、効率よく空気中に取込まれる。
【００４５】
このようにして抗酸化剤１７の抗酸化成分を含有した空気は、回転ドラム３６内に拡散されて洗濯物１８に接触する。その結果、洗濯物１８はこれに含まれている水分が気化され水分量が減少するとともに、外気に含まれた抗酸化剤１７の成分が付着することによって汚れ残りや洗剤残りから発生する黄ばみや油汚れによる酸化が抑制され、防黴、防臭も図れる。また、洗濯物１８だけでなく、洗濯乾燥機の機体も抗酸化成分に接触することで同様の効果が得られる。
【００４６】
なお、抗酸化剤１７を水溶性のものとすれば、洗濯機や洗濯乾燥機の脱水行程や、洗濯乾燥機の乾燥行程において洗濯物をほぐす目的でミスト（霧状の水）を噴射する際に、この噴射水に抗酸化剤１７を混入することも可能である。
【００４７】
また、洗濯槽カバーを設けた洗濯機においては、この洗濯槽カバーに外気または温風の吹出口の機能と抗酸化剤の収納ケースの機能とを付与することもできる。
【００４８】
さらに、抗酸化剤１７の防水、防湿を図るために、収納容器に防水、防湿機能および構造をもたせたり、抗酸化剤であるローズマリーなどのハーブに対して防水、防湿効果のある除湿剤をブレンドすることも可能である。
【００４９】
前記実施形態は洗濯機能を備えた機器に実施したが、乾燥機能だけを備える機器にも実施可能である。
【００５０】
【発明の効果】
以上述べたようにこの発明の洗濯機および洗濯乾燥機は、外箱と、この外箱内に洗濯兼脱水槽を回転自在に配設し、外気を吸込み、洗濯兼脱水槽内に外気を供給する手段を備える洗濯機において、供給する外気の吹出口周辺または外気の供給通路周辺に、揮発性の抗酸化成分を含有する材料を搭載し、前記洗濯兼脱水槽内に抗酸化成分を拡散させることを特徴とする。
【００５１】
これにより、洗濯後の衣類を乾燥させるために吹出口から洗濯兼脱水槽内に外気を供給するとき、吸込んだ外気は吹出口周辺や供給通路周右辺に搭載した揮発性の抗酸化成分を含有する材料の中を通過するから、洗濯兼脱水槽内に供給される外気にこの抗酸化成分が含まれることになり、洗濯兼脱水槽内に抗酸化成分が拡散される。よって、洗濯兼脱水槽内にある衣類にこの抗酸化成分が付着し、汚れ残りや洗剤残りから発生する衣類の黄ばみを抑制し、また、防黴、防虫も図れるものである。

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional side view of a washing machine according to a first embodiment of the present invention, which is provided with a unit for supplying outside air into a washing and dewatering tub. The entire configuration of the washing machine will be described.
[0013]
A water tub 2 is swingably suspended in an outer case 1 via a vibration isolator, and a washing and dewatering tub 3 provided with a rotary wing 4 at the bottom is rotatably disposed in the water tub 2. A water tank cover 5 is attached to the upper end edge of the washing / dehydrating tub 3 so as to cover the upper part of the balancer 6 attached to the upper opening edge of the washing and dewatering tank 3. A top cover 8 provided with a lid 7 is provided on the upper part of the outer box 1 so as to cover the upper part of the water tank cover 5.
[0014]
A motor 9 is provided below the bottom of the water tank 2, and a cooling motor fan 10 integrated with a pulley 10 a is coupled to a drive shaft projecting downward from the motor 9. And a pulley 12 connected to a rotating shaft of a speed reduction mechanism 11 disposed at the same position by a belt 13.
[0015]
In the washing machine having such a configuration, an air inlet 7a is formed in the lid 7 as a means for supplying outside air into the washing and dewatering tub 3, and a rotating blade 4 is used as means for discharging the outside air supplied to the washing and dewatering tub 3. A vent hole 14 was formed, a drain / exhaust hole 15 was provided at the bottom of the washing and dewatering tub 3, and a discharge port 16 was formed at the upper rear wall surface of the outer box 1.
[0016]
Further, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the lower part of the intake port 7 a or the peripheral part of the outside air supply passage as shown in FIG. An antioxidant 17 which is a material containing a volatile antioxidant component is mounted.
[0017]
Materials containing volatile antioxidants suppress yellowing that occurs from residual stains and detergent on clothing, and can also be expected to have antifungal and deodorant effects on clothing, such as rosemary, a natural material. These herbs are used in powder form and filled in a cartridge-type container such as a tea bag. This container has a structure that does not hinder the supply of outside air.
[0018]
Next, the operation will be described. The washing, rinsing, and spin-drying steps automatically proceed, and after the spin-drying cycle, the water contained in the laundry 18 is further reduced. The wing 4 is rotated. A centrifugal force is generated by the rotating action of the washing and dewatering tub 3 and the rotary blade 4, and at the same time, outside air is taken into the washing and dewatering tub 3 from the air inlet 7 a located above the washing and dewatering tub 3.
[0019]
The outside air sucked from the intake port 7a passes through the antioxidant 17 when passing therethrough. As a result, the outside air contains the components of the antioxidant 17, and such outside air is diffused into the washing and dewatering tub 3 and comes into contact with the laundry 18. As a result, the laundry 18 evaporates the moisture contained therein to reduce the amount of moisture, and the yellowing caused by the residue of dirt and detergent due to the adhesion of the components of the antioxidant 17 contained in the outside air. Oxidation due to oil stains is suppressed, and fungi and odor can be prevented. A similar effect can be obtained by contacting not only the laundry 18 but also the body of the washing machine with the antioxidant component.
[0020]
A portion of the outside air containing water in contact with the laundry 18 passes through a large number of air holes 14 formed in the rotary wing 4, passes through a drainage / exhaust hole 15 formed in the bottom of the washing and dewatering tub 3, and is washed and removed. The water flows out of the water tub 3 and passes through a gap between the washing and dewatering tub 3 and the water tub 2 and is discharged out of the machine through a discharge port 16 formed in the upper rear wall of the outer box 1.
[0021]
In addition, the remaining outside air is discharged into the outer box 1 through an opening, which is a clothing input port at the top of the washing and dewatering tub 3, and directly flows out to the exhaust port 16 therefrom.
[0022]
The components of the antioxidant 17 are mixed with the outside air taken in as described above and adhered to the laundry 18. The amount of diffusion of the antioxidants can be varied by controlling the intake amount of the outside air. can do.
[0023]
The control of the intake amount of the outside air is performed by changing the rotation speed of the washing and dewatering tub 3 and the rotating blades 4, that is, the rotation speed of the motor 9, or by changing the rotation speed so that the pressure in the washing and dewatering tub 3 is increased. Generates, makes it easy to take in outside air, and adds strength to the flow of outside air. Thereby, not only can the vaporization and evaporation of the moisture of the laundry 18 be promoted, but also the diffusion amount of the antioxidant component can be increased, and the diffusion can be performed efficiently. In addition, if the rotation direction is made variable to the left and right, the flow of the outside air taken in changes, the action of loosening the laundry 18 occurs, the outside air can be evenly applied to the laundry 18, and the antioxidant component is also removed. 18 can be evenly attached to each part.
[0024]
After the rotation of the washing and dewatering tub 3 is completed, only the rotor 4 is rotated to scrape off the laundry 18 in the washing and dewatering tub 3, and the laundry 18 also contains an antioxidant 17 component. The outside air can be uniformly contacted.
[0025]
FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment, in which the present invention is applied to a washing / drying machine provided with a drying step following the dewatering step. The configuration of the washing and drying machine will be described. The basic configuration is the same as that of the fully automatic one-tank type washing machine shown in FIG. 1, and the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted. Omitted.
[0026]
The washing and drying machine has a configuration in which the motor fan 10 is covered with a fan casing 19 as means for supplying hot air into the washing and dewatering tub 3 during the drying process, in addition to the configuration of the washing machine of the first embodiment. A ventilation duct 20 having one end opened is set up along the outer wall of the water tank 2, and the upper end of the ventilation duct 20 is opened at the opening edge of the water tank cover 5.
[0027]
When the air duct 20 rises along the water tank 2 in parallel with the water tank 2, the outer wall of the water tank 2 is shared with the duct wall, and the outer wall of the water tank 2 forms a part of the air duct 20. The opening 20a at the top of the air duct 20 also forms part of the opening 20a at the opening edge of the water tank cover 5.
[0028]
Then, a heater 21 and a blower fan 22 as heating means are disposed inside the blower duct 20.
[0029]
In the washing / drying machine having such a configuration, the present invention further includes a volatile antioxidant component around the opening 20a, which is the outlet of the air duct 20, or around the inside of the air duct 20 (not shown). An antioxidant 17 is mounted.
[0030]
As in the first embodiment, the material containing a volatile antioxidant component suppresses yellowing generated from remaining stains and detergent on clothes, and is also expected to have antifungal and deodorant effects on clothes. A herb such as rosemary, which is a natural material, is used, and such a material is powdered and filled into a cartridge type container such as a tea bag. This container has a structure that does not hinder the supply of outside air.
[0031]
Further, since the antioxidant 17 is heated by hot air as described later, the antioxidant 17 is volatilized at a high temperature in order to prevent volatilization at room temperature.
[0032]
FIG. 3 shows an example of a specific example of the water tank cover 5 where the antioxidant 17 is mounted, and a flat concave portion 5 a for loading the antioxidant 17 is formed in the water tank cover 5. The recess 5a communicates with the air duct 20 and the opening 20a, and has a large number of ventilation holes 23 formed at the bottom. In the figure, reference numeral 5b denotes a cover that covers the recess 5a.
[0033]
Next, the operation will be described. When electricity is supplied to the heater 21 and the blower fan 22 during the drying process, the air heated by the heater 21 is blown into the washing and dewatering tub 3 from the opening 20 a which is the outlet of the blower duct 20. At this time, when the warm air passes through the portion of the antioxidant 17 loaded in the concave portion 5a of the water tank cover 5, the warm air blown into the washing and dewatering tub 3 from the opening 20a and the hole 23 has an antioxidant property. The components of agent 17 are included. Further, the antioxidant 17 is heated by the warm air and thus easily volatilizes, and is efficiently taken into the air.
[0034]
In this manner, the air containing the antioxidant component of the antioxidant 17 is diffused into the washing and dewatering tub 3 and comes into contact with the laundry 18. As a result, the laundry 18 evaporates the moisture contained therein to reduce the amount of moisture, and the yellowing caused by the residue of dirt and detergent due to the adhesion of the components of the antioxidant 17 contained in the outside air. Oxidation due to oil stains is suppressed, and fungi and odor can be prevented. A similar effect can be obtained by contacting not only the laundry 18 but also the body of the washing machine with the antioxidant component.
[0035]
Further, when supplying warm air into the washing and dewatering tub 3 during the drying process, the exhaust heat of the motor 9 can be used without using the heater 21 and the blowing fan 22 as described above. In this case, when the motor 9 is energized, the motor fan 10 for cooling the motor rotates, and the air heated by the exhaust heat of the motor 9 is heated by the motor fan 10 through the air duct 20 to the outlet. The air is sent to the opening 20 a, is blown into the washing and dewatering tub 3, and is applied to the laundry 18 in the washing and dewatering tub 3.
[0036]
In this way, when the hot air is supplied into the washing and dewatering tub 3 by using the exhaust heat of the motor 9, similarly to the case of supplying the hot air heated by the heater 21, the hot air is generated when the hot air is blown out. Since it passes through the oxidizing agent 17, an antioxidant component is contained here. Therefore, warm air containing an antioxidant component is supplied into the washing and dewatering tub 3.
[0037]
The temperature of the hot air and the supply amount of the hot air can be controlled, whereby the diffusion amount of the antioxidant component into the washing and dewatering tub 3 can be made variable. When the heater 21 is used, the temperature of the hot air and the supply amount of the hot air are controlled by changing the temperature of the heater 21 and the air volume of the blower fan 22. This is performed by changing the rotation speed of the fan 10.
[0038]
FIG. 4 shows a case where the washing / drying machine is of a rotary drum type. This is a washing / drying machine in which a casing 35 serving as a water tank is provided in an outer box 34 provided with a door 33 for taking in and out clothes at the front.

The pulley 28 attached to the rotating shaft of the drum 36 and the belt 30 are connected.
[0040]
The blower fan 25 is covered with a fan casing 26, and a blower duct 27, one end of which is opened in the fan casing 26, is set up along the inner wall of the outer box 34, and the upper end of the blower duct 27 is opened to the intake port 31.
[0041]
The air duct 27 is brought into close contact with the inner wall surface of the outer box 34 at a position where it rises along the outer box 34 in parallel with the outer box 34.
[0042]
In the rotating drum type washing / drying machine having such a configuration, in the present invention, in addition to the above configuration, the antioxidant 17 is mounted on the intake port 31. The mounting means of the antioxidant 17 is the same as that of the washing machine shown in FIG. 1 described above. Further, the configuration of the antioxidant 17 is the same as that of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and therefore the detailed description is omitted here.
[0043]
In order to dry the clothes in the rotating drum 36 during the drying process, when the motor 24 is energized, the blower fan 25 for cooling the motor rotates, and the air warmed by the exhaust heat of the motor 24 becomes hot air and the blower fan 25 Thus, the air is sent to the upper intake port 31 through the air duct 27, and is blown into the rotary drum 36 from there.
[0044]
At this time, when the warm air passes through the portion of the antioxidant 17 loaded in the intake port 31, the warm air blown into the rotary drum 36 contains the components of the antioxidant 17. Further, the antioxidant 17 is heated by the warm air and thus easily volatilizes, and is efficiently taken into the air.
[0045]
In this way, the air containing the antioxidant component of the antioxidant 17 is diffused in the rotating drum 36 and comes into contact with the laundry 18. As a result, the laundry 18 evaporates the moisture contained therein to reduce the amount of moisture, and the yellowing caused by the residue of dirt and detergent due to the adhesion of the components of the antioxidant 17 contained in the outside air. Oxidation due to oil stains is suppressed, and fungi and odor can be prevented. In addition, not only the laundry 18 but also the body of the washer / dryer can be brought into contact with the antioxidant component to achieve the same effect.
[0046]
If the antioxidant 17 is water-soluble, the mist (fog of water) may be sprayed for the purpose of loosening the laundry in the dehydration process of the washing machine or the washer / dryer or the drying process of the washer / dryer. In addition, it is possible to mix an antioxidant 17 into the jet water.
[0047]
Further, in a washing machine provided with a washing tub cover, the washing tub cover can be provided with a function of an outlet for outside air or warm air and a function of a storage case for an antioxidant.
[0048]
