Description

  The present invention relates to a washing / drying machine including a heat pump and a continuous dehumidifier.

  Washing and drying machines using heat pumps are becoming popular instead of heaters and steam. By using the heat pump, the clothes can be dried by sending air at a lower temperature, which is dryer than using the heater, to the drying tank, so that the clothes are less damaged. In addition, since a high-output heater is not used, there is an advantage that the electricity consumption is small.

  In order to increase the drying efficiency of clothing by sending dry air, Patent Document 1 discloses a hybrid dryer combining a heat pump and a desiccant rotor. In the hybrid dryer, the air used for drying passes through the adsorption zone of the desiccant rotor, and moisture in the air is dehumidified by the supported desiccant agent (dehumidifying agent). Then, by introducing the air used for drying into the desorption zone, moisture is desorbed from the desiccant agent and regenerated.

It is a schematic block diagram which shows the modification of a washing-drying machine.

  Hereinafter, the washing / drying machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1)
As shown in the schematic configuration diagrams of FIGS. 1 and 2, the washing / drying machine 1 according to Embodiment 1 mainly connects the washing / drying tank 10, the intake dehumidifier 20, the continuous dehumidifier 30, and the heat pump 40. It is comprised from the water path L1 which connects air path A1-A6, the heat pump 40, and the intake dehumidification apparatus 20. FIG.

  The washing / drying tank 10 is a tank in which laundry such as clothes is stored and washed and dried.

  The intake dehumidifier 20 has an upstream side connected to the air passage A1 and a downstream side connected to the air passage A2. The intake air dehumidifying device 20 has a function of dehumidifying moisture in the air supplied through the air passage A1. The intake dehumidifying device 20 is a so-called heat exchange device that is configured to be connected to the evaporator 41 of the heat pump 40 through a water channel L1. As the water cooled by the evaporator 41 circulates in the water channel L1, the air flowing through the air channel A1 is cooled. By cooling the air, moisture in the air is condensed and dehumidified. The dehumidified air goes to the continuous dehumidifier 30 through the air path A2.

  The continuous dehumidifier 30 carries a dehumidifying agent capable of adsorbing and desorbing moisture. The dehumidifier is not particularly limited as long as dehumidification by moisture adsorption and regeneration by moisture desorption can be repeated. For example, porous inorganic materials such as zeolite and silica gel, hydrophilic polymers, etc. are used. It is done. An example of the continuous dehumidifier 30 is a desiccant rotor.

  The desiccant rotor is rotatable about the rotation shaft 33 as a support shaft. By continuously rotating, the dehumidifying agent passes through the dehumidifying area 31 and the regeneration area 32 alternately. When the dehumidifying agent is located in the dehumidifying area 31, the moisture in the air flowing through the air path A1 is adsorbed and dehumidified. Moreover, when located in the reproduction | regeneration area 32, the water | moisture content adsorb | sucked by the air dried and heated as mentioned later is desorbed. Thus, the continuous dehumidifier 30 is configured to be able to continuously dehumidify moisture.

  The dehumidifying area 31 of the continuous dehumidifying device 30 and the washing / drying tank 10 are connected via the air passage A3, and the air that has been dehumidified and dried through the dehumidifying area 31 passes through the condenser 41 of the heat pump 40. It is heated and sent to the washing / drying tank 10.

  The heat pump 40 includes an evaporation device 41, a compression device 42, a condensing device 43, and an expansion device 44. The refrigerant circulates through the refrigerant circulation channel 45 in the order of the evaporator 41, the compressor 42, the condenser 43, and the expansion device 44. In the evaporator 41, the temperature decreases as the refrigerant evaporates. In the evaporator 41, the water flowing through the flow path L1 is cooled by the refrigerant whose temperature has decreased. Moreover, in the compressor 42, a refrigerant | coolant is compressed and temperature becomes high. In the condensing device 43, the air flowing through the air passage A3 is heated by the refrigerant whose temperature has increased. The expansion device 44 is a capillary tube or the like for maintaining the refrigerant pressure difference.

  The air that has passed through the dehumidifying zone 31 and has dried flows through the air path A <b> 3 and is heated by the condensing device 43. Thereby, the air that has been dried and warmed is introduced into the washing / drying tub 10. The laundry accommodated in the washing / drying tank 10 is efficiently dried by the dry warm air.

  Since the air introduced into the washing / drying tank 10 has a low humidity, it tends to take away moisture from the laundry. For this reason, compared with the case where it dries using a heater, it can dry with the air of low temperature, and damage, such as shrinkage | contraction of a laundry, is suppressed.

  The air passage A3 has an air passage A5 that branches off from the washing / drying tank 10 on the downstream side of the condenser 43. One end of the air passage A5 is connected to the air passage A3, and the other end is connected to the regeneration zone 32 of the continuous dehumidifier 30.

  Valves V1 and V2 are installed in the air passage A3 and the air passage A5, respectively, and the flow direction of the air heated by the condenser 43 can be changed according to the open / close state of the valves V1 and V2.

  That is, when the valve V1 is opened and the valve V2 is closed, the air flowing through the air passage A3 is introduced into the washing / drying tank 10 as shown in FIG. The air is used to dry the laundry. The air used for drying and deprived of moisture from the laundry is discharged through the air passage A4.

  On the other hand, when the valve V1 is closed and the valve V2 is opened, the air flowing through the air passage A3 is introduced into the regeneration zone 32 through the air passage A5 as shown by arrows in FIG. . With the air introduced into the regeneration zone 32, moisture is desorbed from the dehumidifying agent carried on the continuous dehumidifier 30 and regenerated. When a heat pump capable of adjusting the heating temperature in the evaporator 43 is used, when only dehumidifying agent is regenerated as described above, the air temperature should be higher than when the laundry is dried. Also good. Since the heated air is not used for drying the laundry and there is no need to consider the damage of the laundry, and if the temperature of the air introduced into the regeneration zone 32 is high, the desorption of moisture from the dehumidifier is efficient. This is because it is performed and shortens the time for regenerating the dehumidifying agent.

  In order to desorb moisture from the above-described inorganic adsorbent and dehumidifier such as a polymer, it is desirable that the dehumidifier is placed at a high temperature and in a dry atmosphere. In the washing / drying machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the dehumidified area 31 is dehumidified, and the dried warm air that has passed through the condenser 43 is introduced into the regeneration area 32. For this reason, since the dehumidifying agent located in the regeneration zone 32 is placed in a high temperature and dry atmosphere, moisture is efficiently desorbed and regenerated.

  Thus, since the dehumidifying agent is efficiently regenerated, the sucked air is sufficiently dried and introduced into the washing / drying tub 10, so that the laundry is efficiently dried.

  In the state where both the valves V1 and V2 are open, the dried and heated air flows in both the washing / drying tank 10 and the regeneration zone 32. Therefore, the laundry is dried and the continuous dehumidifier 30 is supplied. It is also possible to regenerate the dehumidifier that is carried.

(Embodiment 2)
Next, the washing / drying machine 2 according to Embodiment 2 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the washing / drying machine 2 according to the second embodiment mainly includes an air passage A <b> 7 that branches off from the upstream side of the condensing device 43 and a regeneration air heating device 50. Different from the dryer 1.

  The air passage A <b> 7 is branched from the upstream side of the condenser 43 in the air passage A <b> 3 and is disposed so as to communicate with the regeneration zone 32.

  A part of the air passage A <b> 4 from which air is discharged from the washing / drying tank 10 constitutes the regeneration air heating device 50. The regeneration air heating device 50 is a so-called heat exchange device that heats the air flowing through the air passage A7 using air discharged from the washing / drying tub 10 as a heat source.

  Since the air discharged from the washing / drying tub 10 is warm, the dry air flowing through the air path A is heated by the heat of the air. The dried air that has passed through the dehumidifying zone 31 and has flowed through the air path A7 is heated by the regeneration air heating device 50 and introduced into the regeneration zone 32 as in the first embodiment. Since the introduced air is heated and dehumidified, moisture is effectively desorbed from the dehumidifying agent carried on the continuous dehumidifier 30 and regenerated.

  Thus, in the washing / drying machine 2 according to the present embodiment, the air discharged from the washing / drying tank 10 is effectively used, and it is possible to regenerate the dehumidifier even when the laundry is being dried. It is. Other configurations and the like are the same as those in the first embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted.

(Embodiment 3)
The washing / drying machine 3 according to Embodiment 3 is configured by combining the washing / drying machine 1 according to Embodiment 1 and the washing / drying machine 2 according to Embodiment 2.

  Valves V1 to V3 are installed in the air paths A3, A5, and A7, respectively, and the air flow can be changed according to the open / closed state of the valves V1 to V3.

  When the dehumidifying agent is regenerated while drying the laundry, the valves V1 and V3 are opened, and the valve V2 is closed. As shown in FIG. 4, the dried air that has passed through the dehumidifying zone 31 and has flowed through the air passage A <b> 7 is heated by the regeneration air heating device 50 and introduced into the regeneration zone 32 as in the second embodiment.

  When only dehumidifying agent regeneration is performed, it is preferable that the valves V1 and V3 are closed and the valve V2 is opened. As shown in FIG. 5, similarly to the above-described first embodiment, dried air heated through the condenser 43 is introduced into the regeneration zone 32.

  Since other configurations are the same as those in the first and second embodiments, description thereof is omitted.

(Embodiment 4)
Next, the washing / drying machine 4 according to Embodiment 4 will be described. The washing / drying machine 4 according to Embodiment 4 includes a water channel through which water used during washing flows, and is configured to be able to heat the water flowing through this water channel.

  The washing / drying machine 4 includes water passages L <b> 2 to L <b> 5, a feed water heating device 60, a low-temperature water tank 70, and a high-temperature water tank 80 in addition to the configurations of the washing / drying machines 1 to 3.

  One end of the water channel L <b> 2 is connected to a water supply or the like, and the other end is connected to the low temperature water tank 70. A part of the water channel L2 has a configuration that can be heated by a feed water heating device 60 that uses air discharged from the regeneration zone 32 as a heat source, whereby the water flowing through the water channel L2 is heated. The heated water flows into the low temperature water tank 70.

  The low temperature water tank 70 is a tank that temporarily stores water supplied from the water channel L2. The low temperature water tank 70 is provided with a water level detection device 71.

  Both ends of the water channel L3 are connected to the low temperature water tank 70 and the high temperature water tank 80, and a part of the water channel L3 is configured to pass through the condensing device 43. A pump P1 is installed in the water channel L3, and the water stored in the low temperature water tank 70 is sent to the high temperature water tank 80 through the water channel L3 by driving the pump P1. As described above, since the refrigerant circulating in the refrigerant circulation passage 45 is condensed and the temperature rises in the condensing device 43, the water flowing through the water channel L3 is heated when passing through the condensing device 43.

  The high temperature water tank 80 is a tank in which water heated through the condenser L3 is temporarily stored. A water level detection device 81 and a water temperature detection device 82 are installed in the high temperature water tank 80.

  The water stored in the high-temperature water tank 80 can be supplied to the washing / drying tank 10 and the water channel L3 through the water channels L4 and L5, respectively, by driving the pump P2. The water channel L5 is used to circulate the water stored in the high-temperature water tank 80 to the water channel L3 again. By circulating the water, the temperature of the water can be further increased by heating by the condenser device 43. When the valves V5 and V6 are installed in the water channels L4 and L5, and the valve V5 is closed and the valve V6 is opened, the water stored in the high temperature water tank 80 flows to the water channel L3 through the water channel L5. On the other hand, when the valve V5 is opened and the valve V6 is closed, the water stored in the high temperature water tank 80 is supplied to the washing / drying tank 10 through the water channel L4.

  As described above, the washing / drying machine 4 is configured to be able to heat water used during washing by utilizing the heat of the air obtained by regenerating the dehumidifying agent supported by the continuous dehumidifying device 30. Further, the water can be further heated by the condensing device 43. Since the heated water can be supplied to the washing / drying tank 10 for washing, the detergent used for washing is easy to dissolve in water and the activity is high so that washing can be performed efficiently, and consequently the washing time. It leads to shortening. Since other configurations are the same as those in the first, second, and third embodiments, description thereof is omitted.

  The laundry dryer 4 also performs regeneration of the dehumidifying agent while drying the laundry according to the open / closed state of the plurality of installed valves V1 to V4 and the driving state of the pumps P1 and P2 (hereinafter referred to as the dehumidifying agent). , Drying regeneration mode), when dehumidifying agent is regenerated (hereinafter referred to as regeneration mode), and when water stored in the high-temperature water tank 80 is heated (hereinafter referred to as warm water mode).

  First, the flow of air and water in the dry regeneration mode is shown in FIG. About the flow of air, valve | bulb V1, V3 is opened and valve | bulb V2 is closed, It is the same as that of the case where a dehumidifier is reproduced | regenerated, drying the laundry of Embodiment 2. That is, the sucked air flows through the air passage A3 through the air passage A1, the intake dehumidifying device 20, and the dehumidifying area 31, and is supplied to the washing / drying tub 10 and discharged. Further, part of the air flows through the air passage A7 branched from the air passage A3. The air flowing through the air path A <b> 7 is heated by the regeneration air heating device 50 using the air discharged from the washing / drying tank 10 as a heat source, and passes through the regeneration section 32.

  Further, based on the detection by the water level detection device 71 of the low temperature water tank 70, when the amount of water stored in the low temperature water tank 70 is less than a predetermined amount, the valve V4 is opened and water is supplied from the water supply or the like through the water channel L2. . When the supplied water passes through the feed water heating device 60, it is heated by the air discharged through the regeneration zone 32 and supplied to the low temperature water tank 70.

  Moreover, the water stored in the low temperature water tank 70 flows through the water channel L3 by driving the pump P1. The water flowing through the water channel L3 is further heated by the condensing device 43 and supplied to the high-temperature water tank 80.

  Next, the flow of air and water in the regeneration mode is shown in FIG. Regarding the air flow, the valves V1 and V3 are closed and the valve V2 is opened, which is the same as in the case of regenerating the dehumidifying agent of the second embodiment. That is, the sucked air flows through the air path A3, the air intake dehumidifying device 20, and the dehumidifying area 31 through the air path A3 and the air path A5, and passes through the regeneration area 32 and the feed water heater 60 in this order. The water flow is the same as in the drying regeneration mode.

  Then, the flow of the air and water in warm water mode is shown in FIG. The warm water mode is a mode in which mainly the water stored in the high temperature water tank 80 is circulated again and further heated by the condenser 43 to increase the temperature. In a state where the valve V5 is closed and the valve V6 is opened, the water in the high-temperature water tank 80 again flows through the water channel L3 through the water channel L5 and passes through the condenser 43 by driving the pump P2. Water is further heated by the condenser 43.

  Although detailed in each embodiment mentioned above, the washing dryers 1-4 can take various modifications.

  For example, in the above, the water flowing through the water channel L1 is cooled by the evaporation device 41 and the intake air is dehumidified using the intake dehumidifying device 20, but the evaporation device 41 is disposed between the air channel A1 and the air channel A2. Alternatively, the air flowing in the evaporator 41 may be directly dehumidified.

  Further, a condensing device 43 is disposed on the downstream side of the continuous dehumidifying device 30 and heats the dehumidified air passing through the continuous dehumidifying device 30, but the condensing device 43 is upstream of the continuous dehumidifying device 30. The air heated by the condenser 43 may be passed through the continuous dehumidifier 30 and dehumidified.

  In addition, an example in which one heat pump 40 is installed and the air flowing through the air path A3 and the water flowing through the water path L3 is heated by one condensing device 43 has been described. However, two heat pumps are installed and the air flowing through the air path A3 And the water flowing through the water channel L3 may be heated by separate condensing devices.

  Further, an example has been described in which air is sucked into the intake dehumidifier 20 from the outside, and the air that has passed through the regeneration zone 32 and the air that has been discharged from the washing / drying tub 10 are discharged to the outside, as shown in FIG. Further, the air path A9 may be formed so that the air discharged from the regeneration zone 32 and the washing / drying tank 10 is directly sucked into the intake dehumidifying device 20, and the air may be circulated.

  Moreover, an air blower fan etc. may be suitably provided in each air path so that air may flow smoothly.

  Further, the water cooled by the evaporator 41 and flowing through the water channel L1 may be connected to another device, for example, an air conditioner. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, valves V7 and V8 such as three-way valves may be installed in the water channel L1, and the valves V7 and V8 may be connected to the air conditioner 90 through the water channel. Even in the warm water mode without air flow in the fourth embodiment, the water flowing through the water channel L1 can be effectively used for cooling or the like.
