Description

本発明は衣類等を洗濯した後に乾燥用の空気を供給して衣類を乾燥する洗濯乾燥機に関するものであり、特に洗濯、すすぎ及び脱水を行う洗濯兼脱水槽に衣類乾燥用の暖められた空気を供給し、この空気を循環させて衣類を乾燥する送風通路を備えた洗濯乾燥機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a washing / drying machine for drying clothes by supplying air for drying after washing clothes and the like, and more particularly, warmed air for drying clothes in a washing / dehydrating tank for washing, rinsing and dehydrating. And a washing / drying machine having an air passage for drying the clothes by circulating the air.

洗濯乾燥機による衣類の乾燥は、洗濯兼脱水槽を回転する電動機や送風ファンの電動機等の構成部品から発生する廃熱、及び/或いはヒータ等の専用熱源からの熱を単独/或いは組み合わせて乾燥用の暖かい空気を作り出し、この暖められた空気を送風ファンによって温風の状態にして回転ドラム内の衣類へ高速で吹きつけて“しわ”の発生を抑制しつつ乾燥を行うようにしている。   Drying clothes using a washing and drying machine is a combination of waste heat generated from components such as an electric motor that rotates a washing and dewatering tank and an electric fan fan, and / or heat from a dedicated heat source such as a heater. Warm air is produced, and the warmed air is warmed by a blower fan and blown onto clothing in the rotating drum at a high speed so as to suppress the occurrence of “wrinkles” and perform drying.

この時、温風によって衣類の残留水分から蒸発した水蒸気が発生するため、この水蒸気を除去してやることが必要である。   At this time, water vapor evaporated from the residual moisture of the clothing is generated by the warm air, and it is necessary to remove this water vapor.

このための手法として外槽と背面カバーの間に配置された送風通路の内部に水道水を流すことによって、低温度の水道水を利用して水蒸気を含んだ温風を冷却することで、水蒸気の水分を結露させて水分を除去する水冷除湿方式が提案されている。このような構成の洗濯乾燥機は特開2010−82346号公報(特許文献1)にその詳細が説明されている。   As a technique for this purpose, by flowing tap water through the air passage disposed between the outer tub and the back cover, the hot air containing water vapor is cooled by using low temperature tap water. A water-cooled dehumidification method has been proposed in which moisture is removed by condensation. Details of the washing / drying machine having such a configuration are described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-82346 (Patent Document 1).

特開2010−82346号公報JP 2010-82346 A

上記特許文献1に記載の洗濯乾燥機は、洗濯兼脱水槽内の脱水が終了した衣類に送風通路を介して暖められた空気を吹き付けるようにしており、洗濯兼脱水槽内を含む送風通路によって空気の循環通路を形成している。   The washing and drying machine described in Patent Document 1 blows warmed air through the air passage to the clothes that have been dehydrated in the washing and dewatering tub. An air circulation passage is formed.

そして洗濯兼脱水槽は回転しながら乾燥運転を行うため、乾燥が進むにつれて衣類から剥がれ落ちる糸屑や、洗濯兼脱水槽に残っていた洗濯後の糸屑、或いは埃が循環空気と共に送風通路内を移動するようになる。そして、特に外槽と背面カバーに位置する送風通路の一部にこの糸屑を含む埃(以下、単に埃と表現する)が付着するようになる。   Since the washing and dewatering tub rotates while drying, the lint that peels off from the clothes as the drying progresses, the lint after washing that remains in the washing and dehydration tub, or dust, together with the circulating air, enters the ventilation passage. To move on. In particular, dust containing the yarn waste (hereinafter simply referred to as dust) is attached to a part of the air passage located in the outer tub and the back cover.

この循環空気の除湿の目的と埃を洗い流す目的のため、この送風通路には除湿用の水道水を流す冷却用ノズルと、また、その冷却ノズルとは別に送風通路の壁面に付着した埃を除去する水道水を流す洗浄用ノズルが取り付けてある。   For the purpose of dehumidifying the circulating air and washing away dust, a cooling nozzle that flows tap water for dehumidification is removed in this air passage, and dust attached to the wall of the air passage is removed separately from the cooling nozzle. There is a cleaning nozzle for running tap water.

そして、この冷却用ノズルは洗濯乾燥機の下側方向に向けて水道水を流し、また洗浄用ノズルは洗濯乾燥機の下側方向と横方向に向けて水道水を流すような構成とされていた。   The cooling nozzle flows tap water in the downward direction of the washing / drying machine, and the cleaning nozzle flows tap water in the downward and lateral direction of the washing / drying machine. It was.

ところが、送風通路は外槽と背面カバーの間を通り、外槽の上側と上面カバーの下側の空間を通って洗濯兼脱水槽に至るような通路構成となっている。したがって、この送風通路の曲がり部の壁面に埃が多く付着する現象が確認された。   However, the air passage has a passage configuration that passes between the outer tub and the back cover, passes through the space above the outer tub and below the upper surface cover, and reaches the washing and dewatering tub. Therefore, it was confirmed that a large amount of dust adheres to the wall surface of the bent portion of the air passage.

この主な原因はこの曲がり部で循環空気が大きく方向転換を行い、埃が空気から分離されるからである。乾燥運転中では埃等はまだ生乾きであるため、循環空気に乗って速度を持って送風通路に衝突すると容易に送風通路の壁面に埃が付着するようになる。特に曲がり部の循環空気が衝突する壁面に多く埃が付着することが確認された。   The main reason for this is that the circulating air undergoes a large change of direction at the bent portion, and dust is separated from the air. Since dust and the like are still dry during the drying operation, dust easily adheres to the wall surface of the air passage when the air rides on the circulating air and collides with the air passage with speed. In particular, it was confirmed that a lot of dust adheres to the wall surface where the circulating air in the bent portion collides.

しかしながら、冷却用ノズルは洗濯乾燥機の下側方向に向けて水道水を流し、また洗浄用ノズルは洗濯乾燥機の下側方向と横方向に向けて水道水を流すような構成とされていたので、曲がり部付近の壁面に付着した埃を洗い流すことができなかった。   However, the cooling nozzle is configured to flow tap water toward the lower side of the washing / drying machine, and the cleaning nozzle is configured to flow tap water toward the lower side and lateral direction of the washing / drying machine. Therefore, the dust adhering to the wall surface near the bent portion could not be washed away.

このため、堆積した埃から悪臭がしたりして使用者に不快な環境を招来することになり好ましいものではない。また、稀にではあるが長い年月をかけて埃の堆積が更に進むと送風通路の断面積の減少や、甚だしい場合は送風通路の閉塞といった現象を生じて乾燥効率が低下する恐れがあった。   For this reason, a bad odor is generated from the accumulated dust, which leads to an unpleasant environment for the user, which is not preferable. In addition, if dust accumulates over a long period of time, drying efficiency may decrease due to the phenomenon that the cross-sectional area of the air passage is reduced or, in extreme cases, the air passage is blocked. .

本発明の目的は、送風通路路内に堆積する埃を洗浄することができる洗濯乾燥機を提供することにあり、特に洗浄ノズルより上の送風通路の壁面に付着した埃を洗浄することができる洗濯乾燥機を提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide a washing / drying machine capable of cleaning dust accumulated in the air passage passage, and in particular, dust attached to the wall surface of the air passage above the cleaning nozzle can be washed. It is to provide a laundry dryer.

本発明の特徴は、筐体を構成する上面カバーの下側にある送風通路の一部を構成する送風通路と接続され、外槽と筐体を構成する背面カバーとの間に配置され送風通路の一部を構成する縦方向送風通路を設け、縦方向送風通路を縦通路と、この縦通路に続いて形成される斜め通路及びこの斜め通路に続いて形成される横通路より形成し、縦通路の途中に洗浄ノズルを配置すると共に、洗浄ノズルに縦通路の壁面に対して横方向、下方向、及び上方向に洗浄水を噴出する洗浄口を設けた洗濯乾燥機、にある。   A feature of the present invention is that it is connected to an air passage that constitutes a part of the air passage on the lower side of the upper surface cover that constitutes the housing, and is disposed between the outer tank and the back cover that constitutes the housing. The vertical air passage is formed by a vertical passage, an oblique passage formed following the longitudinal passage, and a lateral passage formed following the oblique passage. A washing / drying machine is provided with a washing nozzle disposed in the middle of the passage, and provided with a washing port for ejecting washing water in a lateral direction, a downward direction, and an upward direction with respect to the wall surface of the vertical passage.

本発明によれば、洗浄用ノズルから上、横、下方向に洗浄用の水を供給することができ、風路内に堆積する埃を除去することが可能になる。特に、洗浄ノズルより上側(空気の流れから見て下流側)の斜め通路に堆積する埃を洗浄できるものである。   According to the present invention, cleaning water can be supplied from the cleaning nozzle in the upward, lateral, and downward directions, and dust accumulated in the air passage can be removed. In particular, it is possible to clean dust accumulated in an oblique passage above (downstream as viewed from the air flow) the cleaning nozzle.

図4及び図5において、参照番号40は外槽2と背面カバー1dの間の空間に設置された断面が長方形の筒状の縦方向送風通路であり、これは固定ねじボス41によって背面カバー1dに固定されている。   4 and 5, reference numeral 40 is a cylindrical vertical air passage having a rectangular cross section installed in a space between the outer tub 2 and the back cover 1 d, and this is a back cover 1 d by a fixing screw boss 41. It is fixed to.

この縦方向送風通路40の下方は上述したように外槽2の下方内部に接続され、縦方向送風通路40の上方は上面カバー1eと外槽2の間の空間に位置する横方向送風通路(図示せず)に接続されている。   The lower part of the vertical air passage 40 is connected to the lower inside of the outer tub 2 as described above, and the upper part of the vertical air passage 40 is a horizontal air passage (located in the space between the top cover 1e and the outer tub 2). (Not shown).

この横方向送風通路との接続部42は横通路42Aと斜め通路42Bとよりなり、横通路42Aが横方向送風通路と接続される。斜め通路42Bには風路切換弁43が設けられ斜め通路42Bの内部に形成した弁座44及び斜め通路42Bを形成する壁部に開口した空気取入口45が設けられている。   The connecting portion 42 to the lateral air passage is composed of a lateral passage 42A and an oblique passage 42B, and the lateral passage 42A is connected to the lateral air passage. The oblique passage 42B is provided with an air passage switching valve 43, and is provided with a valve seat 44 formed inside the oblique passage 42B and an air intake 45 opened in a wall portion forming the oblique passage 42B.

そして、風路切換弁43が空気取入口45を閉じているときは横通路42Aと斜め通路42Bが接続され、風路切換弁43が空気取入口45を開いて弁座44を閉じているとき横通路42Aと斜め通路42Bが遮断されるものである。   When the air passage switching valve 43 closes the air intake 45, the lateral passage 42A and the oblique passage 42B are connected, and when the air passage switching valve 43 opens the air intake 45 and closes the valve seat 44. The lateral passage 42A and the oblique passage 42B are blocked.

斜め通路の42Bは縦方向送風通路40の縦通路40Aに連続して形成されており、縦通路40Aと斜め通路42Bの接続部より下側(空気の流れから見て上流側)に洗浄用ノズル46と、更にこの下側に冷却用ノズル47が固定されている。   The oblique passage 42B is formed continuously to the longitudinal passage 40A of the longitudinal blower passage 40, and the cleaning nozzle is located below (upstream as viewed from the air flow) the connection portion between the longitudinal passage 40A and the oblique passage 42B. 46 and a cooling nozzle 47 is fixed to the lower side.

冷却用ノズル47の下側には蛇行するリブ48が形成され、冷却用ノズル47及び洗浄用ノズル46から供給された水道水が蛇行して流れるようにして循環空気との熱交換効率を向上するようにしている。これらの洗浄用、冷却用の水道水は縦通路40Aを落下した後に外槽2内に流れ込み、その後排水されるものである。   A meandering rib 48 is formed below the cooling nozzle 47 so that tap water supplied from the cooling nozzle 47 and the washing nozzle 46 meanders and flows to improve heat exchange efficiency with circulating air. I am doing so. These tap water for cleaning and cooling flows into the outer tub 2 after falling down the vertical passage 40A, and is then drained.

ここで、図においては紙面に対して垂直方向に洗浄用ノズル46及び冷却用ノズル47が配置されており、冷却用ノズル47は下方向に水道水を流し、洗浄用ノズル46は下方向及び横方向の両側に水道水を流すようになっている。   Here, in the drawing, a cleaning nozzle 46 and a cooling nozzle 47 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface. The cooling nozzle 47 flows tap water downward, and the cleaning nozzle 46 is downward and lateral. Tap water flows on both sides of the direction.

洗浄用ノズル46は縦通路40Aの一方側に寄せて配置されているので、一方の面は縦通路40Aの一方の壁面に接触しないで第1の所定の距離をおいて対向し、他方の面は縦通路40Aの他方の壁面に第1の所定の距離より長い第2の所定の距離をおいて対向してり、横方向に向けて水道水を流すようにしている。また、冷却用ノズル47と同様に洗浄用ノズル46は縦通路40Aの下方向に向けて水道水を流すようにしている。   Since the cleaning nozzle 46 is arranged close to one side of the vertical passage 40A, one surface does not contact one wall surface of the vertical passage 40A and faces the first predetermined distance, and the other surface. Is opposed to the other wall surface of the vertical passage 40A at a second predetermined distance longer than the first predetermined distance, and the tap water flows in the lateral direction. Similarly to the cooling nozzle 47, the cleaning nozzle 46 allows tap water to flow downward in the longitudinal passage 40A.

更に、洗浄用ノズル46は斜め通路42Bに向けて水道水を供給するように構成されており、これによって斜め通路42Bに付着した埃を洗浄するような構成となっている。   Further, the cleaning nozzle 46 is configured to supply tap water toward the oblique passage 42B, and thereby is configured to wash dust adhering to the oblique passage 42B.

以下に洗浄用ノズル46の構成を詳細に説明すると、図6及び図7は本発明になる洗浄用ノズル46の正面図と外観斜視図であり、洗浄用ノズル46は図示しない給水電磁弁に接続される水道水供給部49と、この水道水供給部49と直角に交わるL字状の洗浄水供給部50とより構成されている。   The configuration of the cleaning nozzle 46 will be described in detail below. FIGS. 6 and 7 are a front view and an external perspective view of the cleaning nozzle 46 according to the present invention, and the cleaning nozzle 46 is connected to a water supply solenoid valve (not shown). The tap water supply part 49 and the L-shaped washing water supply part 50 intersecting with the tap water supply part 49 at a right angle are configured.

この洗浄水供給部50は内部に水道水供給部49と連通した洗浄水通路(図示せず)が形成されており、洗浄用ノズル46は洗浄水通路と連通する一列に並べられた複数個の横方向洗浄口51、これも一列に並べられた複数個の下方向洗浄口52(図6、及び図7では表示せず)、及びこれも一列に並べられた複数個の上方向洗浄口53を備えている。   The cleaning water supply unit 50 has a cleaning water passage (not shown) communicating with the tap water supply unit 49 inside, and the cleaning nozzle 46 has a plurality of lines arranged in a row communicating with the cleaning water passage. A lateral cleaning port 51, a plurality of downward cleaning ports 52 (not shown in FIGS. 6 and 7) arranged in a row, and a plurality of upward cleaning ports 53 also arranged in a row. It has.

各洗浄口51乃至洗浄口53は三方向に向けてその方向が定められており、横方向洗浄口51は上述したような構成を有しているので縦通路40Aの壁面に対して直交するように横方向に洗浄水を供給し(供給状態は縦通路の壁面に衝突するように速度を持って噴出する状態)し、下方向洗浄口52は横方向洗浄口51と同様の供給状態で縦通路40Aの壁面に対して平行に下方向に洗浄水を供給し、上方向洗浄口53は横方向洗浄口51と同様の供給状態で斜め通路42Bに付着した埃を洗浄するように、取り付けた状態で斜め通路42Bに指向して洗浄水を供給するようになっている。   The direction of each of the cleaning ports 51 to 53 is determined in three directions. Since the horizontal cleaning port 51 has the above-described configuration, it is orthogonal to the wall surface of the vertical passage 40A. The cleaning water is supplied in the horizontal direction (the supply state is a state in which the water is ejected at a speed so as to collide with the wall surface of the vertical passage), and the lower cleaning port 52 is in the same supply state as the horizontal cleaning port 51 The cleaning water is supplied in a downward direction parallel to the wall surface of the passage 40A, and the upward cleaning port 53 is attached so as to clean dust attached to the oblique passage 42B in the same supply state as the lateral cleaning port 51. In this state, the cleaning water is supplied to the oblique passage 42B.

各洗浄口の数や配置位置は送風通路の大きさによって異なり、送風通路の幅の長さによって最適な数と位置が決められる。   The number and arrangement position of each cleaning port vary depending on the size of the air passage, and the optimum number and position are determined depending on the width of the air passage.

図8、図9、及び図10は洗浄用ノズル46の横方向洗浄口51、下方向洗浄口52、上方向洗浄口53が設けられている部分の断面図であり、洗浄水通路54に対してそれぞれ横方向洗浄口51、下方向洗浄口52、上方向洗浄口53が連通されている。   8, 9, and 10 are cross-sectional views of portions of the cleaning nozzle 46 where the lateral cleaning port 51, the lower cleaning port 52, and the upper cleaning port 53 are provided, with respect to the cleaning water passage 54. The lateral cleaning port 51, the downward cleaning port 52, and the upward cleaning port 53 are communicated with each other.

ここで、洗浄水通路54は縦方向に長い通路断面を有しており、横方向洗浄口51、下方向洗浄口52、上方向洗浄口53の夫々が連通できるようになっている。   Here, the washing water passage 54 has a passage section that is long in the vertical direction, and the lateral washing port 51, the lower washing port 52, and the upper washing port 53 can communicate with each other.

図8において、横方向洗浄口は上述したように縦通路40Aの対向壁面に洗浄水を供給するため対向する壁面に向かうような2方向の洗浄口のうちの一方の横方向洗浄口51Aを示している。この横方向洗浄口51Aは洗浄水通路54の下方部分に連通され、これは上述したように第2の所定距離にある壁面方向に向けて洗浄水を噴出するものである。この横方向洗浄口51は第2の所定距離にある壁面及びこれに隣接する2つの壁面にも洗浄水を供給するように多くの量が噴出されるようになっている。   In FIG. 8, the horizontal cleaning port indicates one horizontal cleaning port 51 </ b> A of the two-way cleaning ports that are directed to the opposite wall surface to supply cleaning water to the opposite wall surface of the vertical passage 40 </ b> A as described above. ing. The lateral cleaning port 51A communicates with a lower portion of the cleaning water passage 54, which jets cleaning water toward the wall surface at the second predetermined distance as described above. The lateral cleaning port 51 is designed to eject a large amount so as to supply cleaning water to the wall surface at the second predetermined distance and two wall surfaces adjacent thereto.

また、図9において、上方向洗浄口53は洗浄水通路54の最上方部分に連通され、これは上述したように斜め通路42Bに向けて洗浄水を噴出するものである。   In FIG. 9, the upward cleaning port 53 is communicated with the uppermost portion of the cleaning water passage 54, which jets the cleaning water toward the oblique passage 42B as described above.

更に、図10において、洗浄水通路54の下方部分には図8に示した横方向洗浄口51Aとは別に設けられた横方向洗浄口51Bが連通され、これは上述したように第1の所定距離がある壁面方向に向けて洗浄水を噴出するものである。   Further, in FIG. 10, a lateral cleaning port 51B provided separately from the lateral cleaning port 51A shown in FIG. 8 is communicated with a lower portion of the cleaning water passage 54, which is the first predetermined as described above. The cleaning water is ejected toward the wall surface at a distance.

ここで、横方向洗浄口51Bの方が横方向洗浄口51Aに比べて洗浄水の供給量が少なくなるようにその口径が大きく構成されている。この理由は冷却用ノズル47の方も第1の所定距離がある壁面方向に向けて水道水を流しているので、それほど多くの洗浄水を必要としないからである。   Here, the diameter of the lateral cleaning port 51B is configured to be larger so that the amount of cleaning water supplied is smaller than that of the lateral cleaning port 51A. This is because the cooling nozzle 47 also flows tap water toward the wall surface having the first predetermined distance, so that much washing water is not required.

また、洗浄水通路54の最下方部分には下方向通路52が連通しており、これは第1の所定距離がある壁面方向に向けて水道水を流しており、その供給量も上述したように冷却用ノズル47の分もあるのでそれほど多くの洗浄水を必要としないものである。   In addition, a lower passage 52 communicates with the lowermost portion of the washing water passage 54, and this supplies tap water toward the wall surface having a first predetermined distance, and the supply amount thereof is also as described above. Further, since there is a part for the cooling nozzle 47, so much washing water is not required.

ここで洗浄用ノズル46の横方向洗浄口51、下方向洗浄口52、上方向洗浄口53の夫々の洗浄水の供給量は、横方向洗浄口51>下方向洗浄口52>上方向洗浄口53の関係を有している。   Here, the supply amount of the cleaning water of the horizontal cleaning port 51, the downward cleaning port 52, and the upward cleaning port 53 of the cleaning nozzle 46 is as follows: the horizontal cleaning port 51> the downward cleaning port 52> the upward cleaning port. There are 53 relationships.

この理由は、横方向洗浄口51は縦通路40Aの3つの壁面を洗浄する必要から多くの洗浄水を必要とすること、下方向洗浄口52は冷却用ノズル47があること及び縦通路40Aの残りの1つの壁面に洗浄水を供給すれば良いこと、上方向洗浄口53は実質的に斜め通路42Bの温風の衝突部分に噴出すれば良いこと、洗浄水の衝突速度を大きくしたいことから上記のような関係を採用した。尚、下方向洗浄口52と上方向洗浄口53の関係は冷却用ノズル47の関係から逆になって良いものである。   This is because the lateral cleaning port 51 needs a lot of cleaning water because it needs to clean the three wall surfaces of the vertical passage 40A, and the downward cleaning port 52 has the cooling nozzle 47 and the vertical passage 40A. It is only necessary to supply the cleaning water to the remaining one wall surface, the upward cleaning port 53 may be substantially ejected to the hot air collision portion of the oblique passage 42B, and it is desired to increase the collision speed of the cleaning water. The above relationship was adopted. The relationship between the lower cleaning port 52 and the upper cleaning port 53 may be reversed from the relationship with the cooling nozzle 47.

図4及び図5に戻って、洗浄用ノズル47は縦通路40Aと斜め通路42Bとの接続部付近で背面カバー側の壁面に寄せて取り付けられるので、上方向洗浄口53は縦通路40Aに沿って開口すると斜め通路42Bの始点付近に洗浄水を供給することになり、充分な洗浄効果を得ることができない懸念がある。   4 and 5, the cleaning nozzle 47 is attached to the wall surface on the back cover side in the vicinity of the connection portion between the vertical passage 40A and the oblique passage 42B, so the upward cleaning port 53 extends along the vertical passage 40A. If it is opened, cleaning water is supplied near the starting point of the oblique passage 42B, and there is a concern that a sufficient cleaning effect cannot be obtained.

このため、上方向洗浄口53は斜め通路42Bの中央付近に向けて洗浄水を供給できるように角度を持たせて斜め通路42Bの中央付近指向させている。好ましくは縦通路40Aと横通路42Aの中心線が交わる付近の斜め通路42Bの壁面に上方向洗浄口53を指向させている。   For this reason, the upward cleaning port 53 is oriented near the center of the oblique passage 42B at an angle so that cleaning water can be supplied toward the vicinity of the center of the oblique passage 42B. Preferably, the upward cleaning port 53 is directed to the wall surface of the oblique passage 42B in the vicinity where the center lines of the vertical passage 40A and the horizontal passage 42A intersect.

ここで、縦方向送風通路40は断面が長方形の筒状であるため、斜め通路42Bno壁面も長方形を形成する平面上となっているので、この平面に当たるように複数の洗浄水が供給される。尚、スリット形状の洗浄口であればこれに沿った形状の洗浄水が供給される。   Here, since the vertical air passage 40 has a rectangular cross section, the wall surface of the oblique passage 42Bno is also on a plane forming a rectangle, so that a plurality of washing water is supplied so as to hit this plane. In the case of a slit-shaped cleaning port, cleaning water having a shape along this is supplied.

以上に説明した横方向洗浄口51、下方向洗浄口52、上方向洗浄口53の形状は円形状の水流を作るように円形であったが、本発明はこれに限らず上述したようにスリット状の形状であっても良いことはいうまでもない。   The shapes of the lateral cleaning port 51, the lower cleaning port 52, and the upper cleaning port 53 described above are circular so as to create a circular water flow. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as described above, the slits are formed. It goes without saying that the shape may be a shape.

尚、風路切換弁43が空気取入口45を遮断して横通路42Aと斜め通路42Bとを接続している循環乾燥運転中に洗浄用ノズル47の上方向洗浄口53から上方向に洗浄水を噴出した場合、斜め通路42Bの壁面に当たった洗浄水が跳ね返り、横通路42Aより先にある乾燥フィルタまで飛沫が飛んでしまう恐れがある。   In the circulation drying operation in which the air passage switching valve 43 blocks the air intake 45 and connects the lateral passage 42A and the oblique passage 42B, the washing water is directed upward from the upper washing port 53 of the washing nozzle 47. When the water is ejected, the washing water hitting the wall surface of the oblique passage 42B rebounds, and there is a possibility that splashes may fly to the drying filter ahead of the lateral passage 42A.

そのため洗浄用ノズル47の上方向洗浄口53から洗浄水を噴出する場合は、風路切換弁43が斜め通路42Bの弁座44を閉じて横通路42Aと斜め通路42Bとの接続を遮断した状態にして乾燥フィルタまでに飛沫が飛散しないようにする。   Therefore, when the cleaning water is ejected from the upper cleaning port 53 of the cleaning nozzle 47, the air passage switching valve 43 closes the valve seat 44 of the oblique passage 42B and blocks the connection between the lateral passage 42A and the oblique passage 42B. In order to prevent the spray from splashing up to the drying filter.

ここで、風路切換弁43で遮断した洗浄水は風路切換弁43から下に垂れていき、横方向洗浄栗51から噴出した洗浄水と共に縦通路40Aの壁面(外槽2側に位置するの壁面)に流れていくようになる。   Here, the washing water blocked by the air passage switching valve 43 hangs down from the air passage switching valve 43 and is located along the wall surface of the vertical passage 40A (located on the outer tub 2 side) together with the washing water ejected from the lateral washing chestnut 51. To the wall).

尚、冷却用ノズル47と洗浄用ノズル46とは別々に設けられているが、場合によっては洗浄用ノズル46によって冷却用ノズル47を兼用することが可能である。   Note that the cooling nozzle 47 and the cleaning nozzle 46 are provided separately, but in some cases, the cooling nozzle 47 can also be used as the cooling nozzle 47.

この場合は、下方向洗浄口52及び横方向洗浄口51Bから供給される洗浄水の供給量を冷却用ノズル47の分をまかなえるような供給量が得られるように設計すればよい。   In this case, the supply amount of the cleaning water supplied from the lower cleaning port 52 and the horizontal cleaning port 51B may be designed so as to obtain a supply amount that can cover the cooling nozzle 47.

また、手入れ道具を使用した場合であても、従来では風路切換弁43を越えてまでは掃除することが不可能であったのに対して、本実施例では風路切換弁43付近まで洗浄ノズル47を利用して掃除することができるので、より高品位な洗濯乾燥機を提供できるものである。   Further, even when a care tool is used, it has been impossible to clean until the air path switching valve 43 is exceeded, whereas in the present embodiment, the vicinity of the air path switching valve 43 is cleaned. Since the nozzle 47 can be used for cleaning, a higher-grade washing / drying machine can be provided.

以上に述べたように、本発明においては送風通路路内に堆積する埃を洗浄することができる洗濯乾燥機を提供することができ、特に洗浄ノズルより上の送風通路の壁面に付着した埃を洗浄することができる洗濯乾燥機を提供することができる。   As described above, in the present invention, it is possible to provide a washing / drying machine capable of cleaning dust accumulated in the air passage passage, and in particular, dust attached to the wall surface of the air passage above the cleaning nozzle. A washing / drying machine that can be washed can be provided.
