Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clothes dryer in which the area of an opening is large and puting-in/taking-out of clothes is easy, even when a rotary drum is disposed above.SOLUTION: A clothes dryer 20 of this invention includes: a housing 21 in which an opening 22 for putting-in/taking out objects to be dried is formed in the front surface; a door 24 for closing the opening 22; an operation part 25 disposed at the upper part of the front surface of the housing 21; a rotary drum 23 for accommodating objects to be dried; and a warm air generating device disposed at the lower part of the rotary drum 23 and generating warm air to be blown to the inside of the rotary drum. The center of the opening 22 is located substantially on a rotational axis of the rotary drum 23, and also, the opening 22 has a substantially quadrangle shape. As the opening 22 has the substantially quadrangle shape, even when the center of the opening 22 is located substantially on the rotational axis of the rotary drum 23, the area of the opening is larger than the opening of a circular shape.

Description

本発明は、衣類を乾燥するための衣類乾燥機に関する。   The present invention relates to a clothes dryer for drying clothes.

従来の衣類乾燥機は、図６に示すように、衣類を収容する回転ドラム１０を有する。衣類乾燥機は、回転ドラム１０を回転させることによって衣類を攪拌させるとともに、衣類に温風を当てることによって衣類を乾燥させる。衣類乾燥機は、筐体１１の前面１２に開口１３を有する。開口１３を通して、衣類が出し入れされる。また、衣類乾燥機は、開口１３を閉じるドア１４を有する（例えば特許文献１参照）。   As shown in FIG. 6, the conventional clothes dryer has a rotating drum 10 that stores clothes. The clothes dryer stirs the clothes by rotating the rotary drum 10 and dries the clothes by applying warm air to the clothes. The clothes dryer has an opening 13 on the front surface 12 of the housing 11. Clothing is taken in and out through the opening 13. In addition, the clothes dryer has a door 14 that closes the opening 13 (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

特許文献１に記載の衣類乾燥機の、回転ドラム１０と開口１３とドア１４とは、ほぼ同心円で構成される。すなわち、開口１３の中心と、閉じたときのドア１４の中心とが、回転ドラム１０の回転軸Ａの延長線上に位置する。これにより、開口１３を大きく形成することができる。この結果、衣類の出し入れが容易となる。なお、特許文献１に記載の衣類乾燥機の開口１３は、円の下部が一部切り取られた、いわゆるＤカット形状を有する。   The rotary drum 10, the opening 13, and the door 14 of the clothes dryer described in Patent Literature 1 are substantially concentric circles. That is, the center of the opening 13 and the center of the door 14 when closed are located on an extension line of the rotation axis A of the rotary drum 10. Thereby, the opening 13 can be formed large. As a result, clothes can be taken in and out easily. In addition, the opening 13 of the clothes dryer described in Patent Document 1 has a so-called D-cut shape in which a lower part of a circle is partly cut off.

欧州特許第２３６５１２２号明細書European Patent No. 2365122

衣類乾燥機の消費電力を低減させるために、温風を生成するための熱源として、ヒートポンプ装置が用いられる場合がある。ヒートポンプ装置は大きく、かつ重いため、筐体内の下方に配設される。一方、衣類乾燥機の回転ドラム１０は、衣類を多く収容可能とするために大きい。すなわち、回転ドラム１０の直径が大きい。このため、回転ドラム１０の下端より下の空間は狭い。従って、特許文献１に記載の衣類乾燥機において、筐体１１内の下方にヒートポンプ装置を配設した場合、回転ドラム１０の位置を上方に移動させる必要がある。衣類乾燥機の回転ドラム１０は、衣類を多く収容可能とするために直径が大きく、回転ドラム１０の下端より下の空間が狭いためである。また、ヒートポンプ装置を用いない場合であっても、温風を生成する効率を向上させるために、回転ドラム１０の下に充分な空間を必要とする場合がある。   In order to reduce the power consumption of the clothes dryer, a heat pump device may be used as a heat source for generating warm air. Since the heat pump device is large and heavy, it is disposed below the housing. On the other hand, the rotary drum 10 of the clothes dryer is large in order to accommodate a large amount of clothes. That is, the diameter of the rotating drum 10 is large. For this reason, the space below the lower end of the rotating drum 10 is narrow. Therefore, in the clothes dryer disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the heat pump device is disposed in the lower part of the housing 11, it is necessary to move the position of the rotary drum 10 upward. This is because the rotary drum 10 of the clothes dryer has a large diameter so that a large amount of clothes can be accommodated and a space below the lower end of the rotary drum 10 is narrow. Even when the heat pump device is not used, there may be a case where a sufficient space is required under the rotating drum 10 in order to improve the efficiency of generating warm air.

衣類の出し入れを容易とするために、開口１３の中心と回転ドラム１０の中心とは、一致することが望ましい。しかしながら、筐体１１の前面１２の上部には操作部１６が配設されるため、回転ドラム１０の上方への移動に合わせて、開口１３を上方に移動させることは困難である。従って、開口１３の中心と回転ドラム１０の中心とを一致させるには、開口１３の円形を小さくする必要がある。これにより、衣類の出し入れが困難となる可能性が生じる。   In order to facilitate putting in and out of clothing, it is desirable that the center of the opening 13 and the center of the rotary drum 10 coincide with each other. However, since the operation unit 16 is disposed at the upper part of the front surface 12 of the housing 11, it is difficult to move the opening 13 upward in accordance with the upward movement of the rotary drum 10. Therefore, in order to make the center of the opening 13 coincide with the center of the rotary drum 10, it is necessary to reduce the circular shape of the opening 13. As a result, there is a possibility that it becomes difficult to put in and take out clothes.

本発明は、上記従来の課題を解決するもので、回転ドラムが上方に配設された場合であっても、開口の面積が大きく、衣類の出し入れが容易な衣類乾燥機を提供することを目的とする。   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide a clothes dryer that has a large opening area and allows clothes to be easily taken in and out even when the rotating drum is disposed above. And

本発明の衣類乾燥機は、被乾燥物を出し入れする開口が前面に形成された筐体と、開口を閉じるドアと、筐体の前面の上部に配設された操作部と、被乾燥物を収容する回転ドラムと、回転ドラムの下方に配設され回転ドラム内に送風される温風を生成する温風生成装置と、を備え、開口の中心は回転ドラムの回転軸上にほぼ位置し、さらに、開口は略四角形の形状を有する。   A clothes dryer according to the present invention includes a housing in which an opening for taking in and out an object to be put in is formed on the front surface, a door for closing the opening, an operation unit disposed on an upper portion of the front surface of the housing, and an object to be dried. A rotating drum to be housed, and a hot air generating device that is arranged below the rotating drum and generates hot air to be blown into the rotating drum, the center of the opening being located substantially on the rotating shaft of the rotating drum, Furthermore, the opening has a substantially rectangular shape.

開口が略四角形の形状を有することにより、開口の中心が回転ドラムの回転軸上にほぼ同じ位置する場合であっても、円形の開口に比べて開口の面積が大きい。   Since the opening has a substantially quadrangular shape, the area of the opening is larger than that of the circular opening even when the center of the opening is located at substantially the same position on the rotation axis of the rotating drum.

本発明の衣類乾燥機は、開口の面積が大きいため、容易に衣類を出し入れすることができる。   Since the clothes dryer of the present invention has a large opening area, clothes can be easily put in and out.

以下、図面を参照しつつ、本発明の実施の形態について説明する。なお、本実施の形態によって本発明が限定されるものではない。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment.

図１は、本実施の形態における衣類乾燥機の斜視図である。図２は、本実施の形態における衣類乾燥機の側断面を示す構成図である。   FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a clothes dryer in the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram showing a side cross section of the clothes dryer in the present embodiment.

衣類乾燥機２０の筐体２１の前面には、被乾燥物である衣類を出し入れする開口２２が形成される。開口２２を通して、回転ドラム２３に衣類が収容される。回転ドラム２３に衣類が収容された後は、ドア２４が閉じられ、衣類乾燥運転が行われる。衣類乾燥運転の指示等は、筐体２１の前面の上部に配設された操作部２５から行われる。   On the front surface of the housing 21 of the clothes dryer 20, an opening 22 through which clothes to be dried are taken in and out is formed. Clothing is accommodated in the rotating drum 23 through the opening 22. After the clothes are stored in the rotary drum 23, the door 24 is closed and the clothes drying operation is performed. An instruction for clothes drying operation or the like is given from the operation unit 25 disposed in the upper part of the front surface of the casing 21.

回転ドラム２３は、モータ２６によって、プーリ２７やベルト２８を介して回転する。モータ２６は、さらに、プーリ２９やベルト３０を介して、ファン３１を回転させる。   The rotating drum 23 is rotated by a motor 26 via a pulley 27 and a belt 28. The motor 26 further rotates the fan 31 via the pulley 29 and the belt 30.

回転ドラム２３の下方には、温風生成装置としてのヒートポンプ装置３２が配設される。ヒートポンプ装置３２は、圧縮機３３、凝縮器３４、蒸発器３５等を配管によって連通させて構成され、内部に冷媒が循環する。ファン３１が動作することにより、矢印に示すような空気の流れが発生する。蒸発器３５によって除湿された空気は、凝縮器３４によって加熱され、乾燥した温風となる。この温風が、乾燥ダクト３６を通って、回転ドラム２３の内部に入る。回転ドラム２３の回転によって撹拌する衣類に、この温風が当たることにより、衣類が乾燥する。   Below the rotating drum 23, a heat pump device 32 as a hot air generating device is disposed. The heat pump device 32 is configured by connecting a compressor 33, a condenser 34, an evaporator 35, and the like through piping, and a refrigerant circulates therein. When the fan 31 operates, an air flow as indicated by an arrow is generated. The air dehumidified by the evaporator 35 is heated by the condenser 34 to become dry hot air. The warm air passes through the drying duct 36 and enters the rotary drum 23. When the warm air hits the clothes to be stirred by the rotation of the rotary drum 23, the clothes are dried.

衣類を乾燥させた温風は、ドア２４の背面に設けられたフィルタ部３７を通り、再びヒートポンプ装置３２に戻る。衣類を乾燥させた温風は、温度が下がるとともに、衣類から放出された水分を含む。すなわち、衣類を乾燥させた温風は、低温でかつ高湿な空気となる。この低温でかつ高湿な空気は、ヒートポンプ装置３２によって、再び、乾燥した温風となる。このようにして、空気が循環する。   The warm air that has dried the clothes passes through the filter unit 37 provided on the back surface of the door 24 and returns to the heat pump device 32 again. The warm air that dries the clothing contains moisture released from the clothing as the temperature drops. That is, the warm air that dries the clothes becomes low-temperature and high-humidity air. The low-temperature and high-humidity air becomes dry hot air again by the heat pump device 32. In this way, air circulates.

図３は、衣類乾燥機２０を正面から見た模式図である。回転ドラム２３（図において破線で示す）は、その下方に温風生成装置が配設されるため、筐体２１の内部において、上方に配設される。例えば、回転ドラム２３の頂部Ｔは筐体２１の天板３８の近傍に位置し、回転ドラム２３の頂部Ｔの前方には、操作部２５が位置する。開口２２の中心Ｃ２２は、回転ドラム２３の回転軸Ａ上にほぼ位置する。すなわち、回転ドラム２３の回転軸Ａである回転ドラム２３の中心Ｃ２３は、開口２２の中心Ｃ２２とほぼ一致する。   FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the clothes dryer 20 as viewed from the front. The rotating drum 23 (shown by a broken line in the figure) is disposed above the inside of the casing 21 because the hot air generating device is disposed below the rotating drum 23. For example, the top portion T of the rotating drum 23 is positioned in the vicinity of the top plate 38 of the casing 21, and the operation unit 25 is positioned in front of the top portion T of the rotating drum 23. The center C22 of the opening 22 is substantially located on the rotation axis A of the rotary drum 23. That is, the center C23 of the rotating drum 23, which is the rotation axis A of the rotating drum 23, substantially coincides with the center C22 of the opening 22.

図４は、回転ドラムと開口との位置関係を説明する説明図である。図４においては、衣類乾燥機のドアを取り除いた状態を図示する。図４（ａ）に示すように、回転ドラム２３の下方に、ヒートポンプ装置等の大きな温風生成装置が無い場合は、回転ドラム２３を筐体２１内部の中央付近に配設することができる。開口２２０は、その中心が、回転ドラム２３の中心Ｃ２３とほぼ一致する位置に形成される。   FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the positional relationship between the rotary drum and the opening. In FIG. 4, the state which removed the door of the clothes dryer is shown in figure. As shown in FIG. 4A, when there is no large hot air generating device such as a heat pump device below the rotating drum 23, the rotating drum 23 can be arranged near the center inside the housing 21. The opening 220 is formed at a position where the center thereof substantially coincides with the center C23 of the rotary drum 23.

一方、本実施の形態の衣類乾燥機のように、回転ドラム２３の下方に、ヒートポンプ装置等の大きな温風生成装置が配設される場合は、回転ドラム２３を筐体２１内部の上部に配設する必要がある。しかしながら、図４（ｂ）に示すように、筐体２１の前面の上部には操作部２５が配設されるため、回転ドラム２３に合わせて（すなわち、回転ドラム２３の中心Ｃ２３と開口２２０の中心とをほぼ一致させて）開口２２０を形成することは困難である。すなわち、操作部２５と開口２２０とが干渉する。現実には、開口２２０を閉じるドアは、開口２２０よりも大きいため、さらに操作部２５との干渉が増す。   On the other hand, when a large hot air generating device such as a heat pump device is disposed below the rotating drum 23 as in the clothes dryer of the present embodiment, the rotating drum 23 is arranged at the upper part inside the housing 21. It is necessary to install. However, as shown in FIG. 4B, since the operation unit 25 is disposed at the upper part of the front surface of the casing 21, it is aligned with the rotating drum 23 (that is, the center C23 of the rotating drum 23 and the opening 220 It is difficult to form the opening 220 (substantially coincident with the center). That is, the operation unit 25 and the opening 220 interfere with each other. Actually, since the door that closes the opening 220 is larger than the opening 220, interference with the operation unit 25 is further increased.

従って、図４（ｃ）に示すように、開口２２０の直径を小さくする必要がある。これにより、操作部２５と開口２２０との干渉を避けることができる。しかしながら、この場合、開口２２０が小さくなるため、衣類の出し入れが困難となる。   Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 4C, the diameter of the opening 220 needs to be reduced. Thereby, interference with the operation part 25 and the opening 220 can be avoided. However, in this case, since the opening 220 is small, it is difficult to put in and out the clothing.

そこで、本実施の形態の衣類乾燥機は、図４（ｄ）に示すように、開口２２が略四角形の形状を有する。具体的には、開口２２０（破線で示す）を、筐体２１の四隅に向かって（例えば、斜め４５度の方向に）延出させて、略四角形の開口２２とする。この構成により、開口２２が大きくなり、衣類の出し入れが容易となる。   Therefore, in the clothes dryer of the present embodiment, the opening 22 has a substantially rectangular shape as shown in FIG. Specifically, the opening 220 (indicated by a broken line) is extended toward the four corners of the housing 21 (for example, in the direction of 45 degrees obliquely) to form a substantially rectangular opening 22. With this configuration, the opening 22 is enlarged, and clothes can be taken in and out easily.

ここで、略四角形とは、厳密な正方形や長方形に限らず、人が、円形ではなく四角形と認識する程度の形状を含む。図５は、開口の形状を説明する説明図である。図５（ａ）に示すように、開口２２の形状は、四角形の辺が直線ではなく、曲線であってもよい。また、図５（ｂ）に示すように、開口２２の形状は、四角形の頂点が尖った角ではなく、丸みを帯びた頂点であっても良い。また、図５（ｃ）に示すように、開口２２の形状は、最も大きな曲率を有する曲率部Ｒ１が４つ存在するため、略四角形と認識される。すなわち、図５（ｃ）に示す開口２２の形状は、四角形の辺に相当する部分の線の曲率は曲率部Ｒ１の曲率よりも小さい。また、図５（ｄ）および図５（ｅ）に示すように、開口２２の形状は、最も大きな曲率を有する曲率部Ｒ１が２つ存在し、かつ、２番目に大きな曲率を有する曲率部Ｒ２が２つ存在するため、略四角形と認識される。図５（ｄ）および図５（ｅ）に示すように、開口２２は、左右に対称の形状であっても、上下に非対称の形状であっても良い。なお、図５（ｆ）に示す開口２２０の形状は、最も大きな曲率を有する曲率部Ｒ１が２つ存在するものの、２番目に大きな曲率を有する曲率部Ｒ２が１つのみ存在するため、略四角形と認識されない。   Here, the substantially quadrangular shape is not limited to a strict square or rectangle, but includes a shape that a person recognizes as a quadrangle rather than a circle. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the shape of the opening. As shown in FIG. 5A, the shape of the opening 22 may be a curved line instead of a straight line. Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the shape of the opening 22 may be a rounded apex instead of a corner having a quadrangular apex. Further, as shown in FIG. 5C, the shape of the opening 22 is recognized as a substantially square shape because there are four curvature portions R1 having the largest curvature. That is, in the shape of the opening 22 shown in FIG. 5C, the curvature of the line corresponding to the side of the rectangle is smaller than the curvature of the curvature portion R1. Further, as shown in FIGS. 5D and 5E, the shape of the opening 22 has two curvature portions R1 having the largest curvature, and the curvature portion R2 having the second largest curvature. Since there are two, it is recognized as a substantially square. As shown in FIG. 5D and FIG. 5E, the opening 22 may have a symmetrical shape on the left and right or an asymmetric shape on the top and bottom. The shape of the opening 220 shown in FIG. 5 (f) is substantially rectangular because there are two curvature portions R1 having the largest curvature, but only one curvature portion R2 having the second largest curvature. Not recognized.

さらに、図１〜図３に示すように、開口２２は、開口２２の中心Ｃ２２が、ドア２４の中心Ｃ２４よりも高い位置になるように形成される。少なくとも、開口２２の上下方向の中心は、ドア２４の上下方向の中心よりも高い位置にある。すなわち、ドア２４の配設位置が、回転ドラム２３の配設位置に影響されない。これにより、大きなドア２４を配設することができる。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the opening 22 is formed such that the center C <b> 22 of the opening 22 is higher than the center C <b> 24 of the door 24. At least the vertical center of the opening 22 is higher than the vertical center of the door 24. That is, the arrangement position of the door 24 is not affected by the arrangement position of the rotary drum 23. Thereby, the big door 24 can be arrange | positioned.

さらに、回転ドラム２３の回転軸Ａの方向は水平に対して傾斜しても良いが、図１および図２に示すように、回転ドラム２３の回転軸Ａの方向は、水平方向とすることができる。回転ドラム２３の回転軸Ａが水平の場合、衣類の出し入れが困難となり易い。また、回転ドラム２３の回転軸Ａが水平の場合、立った状態の人にとって、開口２２から回転ドラム２３の内部（すなわち、衣類）が見難い。本実施の形態の衣類乾燥機２０は、回転ドラム２３の回転軸Ａが水平であっても、開口２２が大きいため、衣類の出し入れが容易であるとともに、立った状態の人にとって、開口２２から回転ドラム２３の内部（すなわち、衣類）が見易い。なお、本実施の形態における水平とは、厳密な水平のみではなく、設計上もしくは設置上の誤差を含む。   Further, the direction of the rotation axis A of the rotary drum 23 may be inclined with respect to the horizontal, but as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the direction of the rotation axis A of the rotary drum 23 may be the horizontal direction. it can. When the rotation axis A of the rotary drum 23 is horizontal, it is difficult to put clothes in and out. Further, when the rotation axis A of the rotating drum 23 is horizontal, it is difficult for a standing person to see the inside of the rotating drum 23 (that is, clothing) from the opening 22. The clothes dryer 20 of the present embodiment has a large opening 22 even when the rotation axis A of the rotary drum 23 is horizontal, so that clothes can be easily taken in and out, and for a standing person from the opening 22 The inside of the rotating drum 23 (that is, clothing) is easy to see. Note that the horizontal in this embodiment includes not only exact horizontal but also errors in design or installation.

さらに、図１および図２に示すように、ドア２４の背面に、開口２２と略同形状のフィルタ部３７を配設させることができる。フィルタ部３７は、ドア２４を閉めた際に、シール部材（図示せず）を介して、開口２２に嵌合する。フィルタ部３７は、例えば、開口２２と略同形状のフィルタケースと、このフィルタケース内に着脱可能に装着されるフィルタ本体とから構成される。乾燥中の衣類からは、糸屑が大量に発生する。糸屑は温風に混入して流れるため、凝縮器３４や蒸発器３５などの狭い通路に付着する。糸屑の付着によって、圧力損失が増大し、温風の流れが阻害される。また、凝縮器３４や蒸発器３５の熱交換の効率が低下する。糸屑がフィルタ部３７によって捕集されることにより、温風の流れが阻害されず、熱交換の効率の低下が抑制される。フィルタ部３７自体の圧力損失を低減させるために、フィルタ部３７は大きいことが望ましい。開口２２は面積が大きいため、開口２２と略同形状のフィルタ部３７も大きい。これにより、フィルタ部３７の圧力損失を小さくすることができる。   Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a filter portion 37 having substantially the same shape as the opening 22 can be disposed on the back surface of the door 24. When the door 24 is closed, the filter unit 37 is fitted into the opening 22 via a seal member (not shown). For example, the filter unit 37 includes a filter case having substantially the same shape as the opening 22 and a filter body that is detachably mounted in the filter case. A large amount of lint is generated from the clothes being dried. Since the yarn waste flows mixed with warm air, it adheres to narrow passages such as the condenser 34 and the evaporator 35. The sticking of the lint increases the pressure loss and hinders the flow of hot air. Further, the efficiency of heat exchange between the condenser 34 and the evaporator 35 is reduced. By collecting the yarn waste by the filter unit 37, the flow of the warm air is not hindered, and a decrease in the efficiency of heat exchange is suppressed. In order to reduce the pressure loss of the filter unit 37 itself, the filter unit 37 is desirably large. Since the opening 22 has a large area, the filter portion 37 having substantially the same shape as the opening 22 is also large. Thereby, the pressure loss of the filter part 37 can be made small.

本発明は、回転ドラムが筐体内部の上方に配設される衣類乾燥機や洗濯機などに利用可能である。   INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be used for a clothes dryer or a washing machine in which a rotating drum is disposed above a housing.
