[First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, the clothes dryer according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

First, the schematic configuration of the clothes dryer D1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

As shown in FIG. 1, the clothes dryer D1 is a rotary type that stores clothes W (so-called laundry and includes cloth products such as towels and sheets in addition to clothes) and dries while rotating. It is equipped with a drum 1 (accommodation room). The drum 1 is arranged inside the housing 2 in a rotatable state.

The back wall 2a of the housing 2 is provided with a support shaft 3 extending toward the front surface. The drum rotation shaft 1a of the drum 1 is rotatably mounted on the support shaft 3. As a result, the drum 1 is rotatably supported by the housing 2 in a sideways posture (a posture in which the axis is in the horizontal direction).

A front opening portion 1b is formed at the front end of the drum 1. On the front side of the housing 2, a clothing inlet 2b covered with a single-opening door 4 is provided at a position corresponding to the front opening portion 1b of the drum 1. A ring plate 5 is attached to the outer periphery of the clothes inlet 2b. The drum 1 is rotatably supported by the ring plate 5 via the front opening portion 1b.

The drum rotation shaft 1a described above is provided on the back wall 1c of the drum 1. A filter unit 6 is attached to the inner end of the drum 1 of the drum rotation shaft 1a. Further, a reinforcing plate 1d for reinforcing the back wall 1c of the vertically supported drum 1 is attached to the outer end of the drum 1 of the drum rotating shaft 1a.

An exhaust passage 7 for guiding the air inside the drum 1 to the outside of the housing 2 is provided between the back wall 1c of the drum 1 and the back wall 2a of the housing 2. At the downstream end of the exhaust passage 7, an exhaust port 7a that opens at the upper part of the housing 2 is provided. A fan case 8a is arranged on the upstream side of the exhaust passage 7.

A moisture exhaust fan 8b is housed inside the fan case 8a. The moisture exhaust fan 8b includes a fan rotation shaft 8c rotatably supported by the support shaft 3. The moisture exhaust fan 8b discharges the air inside the drum 1, which has become highly humid due to the drying of the clothes W, and generates an air flow that draws warm air into the drum 1.

Specifically, when the moisture exhaust fan 8b rotates, first, the outside air is taken into the inside of the housing 2 from the air supply port 2c formed at the bottom of the housing 2. Next, the outside air taken into the inside of the housing 2 is heated by the flame of the gas burner 10a described later to become warm air, and is sent to the inside of the drum 1 through the warm air duct 11 described later.

Inside the housing 2, a motor 9 (motor) for rotating the drum 1 and the moisture exhaust fan 8b, a hot air generation unit 10 for generating hot air, and the generated hot air are sent to the inside of the drum 1. The hot air duct 11 for guiding, the controller 12 for controlling the drive of the motor 9 and the point fire extinguishing operation of the hot air generation unit 10 during the drying operation, and the charge recognition unit 13 for recognizing the charge input by the user (in FIG. 1).

The motor 9 includes two drive shafts, a first drive shaft 9a and a second drive shaft 9b. A first transmission belt 9c is hung between the first drive shaft 9a and the drum 1. A second transmission belt 9d is hung between the second drive shaft 9b and the fan rotation shaft 8c of the moisture drain fan 8b.

The rotational force of the first drive shaft 9a is transmitted to the drum 1 via the first transmission belt 9c to rotate the drum 1. Due to the rotation of the drum 1, the clothes W housed inside the drum 1 are always moved without staying in a fixed position.

The rotational force of the second drive shaft 9b is transmitted to the fan rotation shaft 8c via the second transmission belt 9d to rotate the moisture exhaust fan 8b. The rotation of the moisture exhaust fan 8b forms an air flow inside the drum 1.

The hot air generation unit 10 includes a gas burner 10a, a gas injection nozzle 10b, a gas supply valve device 10c, and a discharge device 10d.

The fuel gas supplied from the gas supply valve device 10c is injected from the gas injection nozzle 10b toward the gas inlet 10e of the gas burner 10a. The injected fuel gas is guided to the gas burner 10a together with the combustion air around the gas inlet 10e. After that, the combustion gas and the combustion air are ignited by the discharge device 10d and burned, and the outside air is heated by the combustion to generate warm air.

The combustion air supplied to the gas burner 10a together with the combustion gas is taken in from the air supply port 2c at the bottom of the housing 2 in the same manner as the outside air for heating.

The hot air duct 11 extends from above the gas burner 10a to the hot air outlet 5a formed on the ring plate 5. The hot air generated by heating by the gas burner 10a is guided to the hot air outlet 5a through the hot air duct 11 and sent into the inside of the drum 1.

The warm air sent into the drum 1 absorbs moisture from the clothes W housed in the drum 1 and dries the clothes W. The warm air (high humidity hot air) that has become high humidity due to the drying of the clothes W passes through the filter unit 6 and heads for the moisture exhaust fan 8b. At this time, the lint generated from the clothing W is captured by the filter unit 6.

The high-humidity hot air heading for the moisture exhaust fan 8b via the filter unit 6 enters from the front side of the moisture exhaust fan 8b, heads toward the outer periphery of the moisture exhaust fan 8b, is collected in the exhaust passage 7, and is collected from the exhaust port 7a outside the machine. Is discharged to.

An operation panel 12a for selecting control regarding driving of the motor 9, point fire extinguishing operation of the warm air generation unit 10, and the like during the drying operation is provided in the lower portion on the front surface side of the controller 12. The operation panel 12a is exposed from the lower portion of the front plate 22 of the housing 2 described later (see FIG. 2 and the like).

The charge recognition unit 13 includes a charge recognition sensor 13a for recognizing charges paid by coins, banknotes, or electronic money, and a storage box 13b for accommodating inserted coins and banknotes.

The charge recognized by the charge recognition sensor 13a is transmitted to the controller 12. The controller 12 sets the driveable time of the warm air generation unit 10 according to the charge.

As described above, the charge recognition unit 13 is arranged on the side of the controller 12 arranged in the lower portion of the front plate 22. That is, the charge recognition unit 13 itself is also arranged in the lower portion of the front plate 22.

This is to suppress the influence of heat from the gas burner 10a on the charge recognition unit 13 as described later. Further, since the clothes dryer such as the clothes dryer D1 is often installed at a relatively high position in a coin laundry or the like, the charge recognition unit 13 (and by extension, the charge input port connected to the charge recognition unit 13) is described. Etc.) in the lower part to make it easier for the user to pay the fee.

As shown in FIG. 2, the housing 2 is substantially cubic, and has a top plate 20, a bottom plate 21 (not shown in FIG. 2, see FIG. 3), and between the top plate 20 and the bottom plate 21. It is located and is composed of a plurality of side walls extending in the vertical direction.

The plurality of side walls are arranged so as to face the front plate 22, the rear lid 23, the first side plate 24 (first side wall, third side wall) located on the right side in the front view, and the first side plate. Includes a second side plate 25 (second side wall, fourth side wall) located on the left side in front view (not shown in FIG. 2, see FIG. 3).

The operation panel 12a of the controller 12 is exposed from the lower portion of the front plate 22. The front portion of the charge recognition unit 13 is exposed at a position on the side of the operation panel 12a of the front plate 22. In the center of the front plate 22, a clothing slot 2b for loading clothing into the drum 1 is provided. The clothes inlet 2b is covered with the single door 4 as described above. The rear lid 23 constitutes the above-mentioned back wall 2a.

By the way, in the clothes dryer D1, the warm air generation unit 10 utilizes combustion by the gas burner 10a, and the temperature around the gas burner 10a may reach several hundred degrees. On the other hand, the upper limit temperature for using the charge recognition sensor 13a of the charge recognition unit 13 is about several tens of degrees.

Therefore, in the clothes dryer D1, depending on the arrangement position of the charge recognition sensor 13a, there is a possibility that the charge recognition sensor 13a or the like for recognizing the charge may be erroneously detected due to the influence of heat.

Further, a discharge device 10d is used for ignition of the gas burner 10a. Then, at the time of ignition by the discharge device 10d, electrical noise may be generated in other electronic devices arranged in the vicinity.

Therefore, in the clothes dryer D1, depending on the arrangement position of the charge recognition sensor 13a, there is a possibility that the charge recognition sensor 13a or the like for recognizing the charge may be erroneously detected due to the influence of electrical noise. ..

Therefore, in the clothes dryer D1, the charge recognition sensor 13a of the charge recognition unit 13 is arranged with the charge recognition sensor 13a inside the housing 2 in order to suppress the influence of heat or the influence of electrical noise. Is devised. In the following, the arrangement will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

In the clothes dryer D1, the warm air generation unit 10 including the gas burner 10a that generates high temperature and the discharge device 10d that may generate electrical noise is the housing 2 as shown in FIG. Inside, it is arranged so as to be adjacent to the first side plate 24.

On the other hand, the charge recognition unit 13 provided with the charge recognition sensor 13a is arranged inside the housing 2 so as to be adjacent to the edge of the front plate 22 adjacent to the second side plate 25 on the second side plate 25 side. Has been done.

Further, the gas burner 10a and the discharge device 10d of the warm air generation unit 10 are arranged adjacent to the first side plate 24, and the charge recognition unit 13 is located on the second side plate 25 side of the front plate 22 adjacent to the second side plate 25. It is arranged so as to be adjacent to the edge.

That is, the gas burner 10a, the discharge device 10d, and the charge recognition unit 13 are arranged at a position far apart from each other on the structure of the clothes dryer D1. As a result, the heat from the gas burner 10a and the electrical noise from the discharge device 10d are less likely to affect the charge recognition sensor 13a.

In the clothes dryer D1, a gas burner 10a is used in the warm air generation unit 10. The heat generated by the gas burner 10a collects above the inside of the housing 2. On the other hand, as described above, the charge recognition unit 13 is arranged in a lower portion where heat is difficult to collect. This also suppresses the influence of heat of the gas burner 10a on the charge recognition unit 13.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, in the clothes dryer D1, the drum 1 is arranged in a substantially central portion of the housing 2. That is, at least a part of the drum 1 is the arrangement position of the hot air generation unit 10 provided with the gas burner 10a that generates high temperature and the discharge device 10d that may generate electrical noise, and the charge recognition sensor 13a. It is located between the arrangement position and the arrangement position of the charge recognition unit 13.

Here, the drum 1 is a rotary drum, and a motor 9 for its rotation is arranged inside the housing 2. Further, the motor 9 may also generate electrical noise that affects the charge recognition unit 13.

Further, in general, the motor 9 is a heavier member than the other constituent members of the clothes dryer D1. Therefore, if the arrangement position is not appropriate, the vibration generated by driving the motor 9 may increase. As a result, due to the influence of the vibration, there is a possibility that the charge recognition unit 13 may erroneously detect the charge.

Therefore, in the clothes dryer D1, the motor 9 is also arranged inside the housing 2 at a position behind the warm air generation unit 10 and adjacent to the lower portion of the first side plate 24. ..

As a result, the influence of the electric noise from the motor 9 on the charge recognition sensor 13a is also suppressed by the distance and the presence of the drum 1 as well as the influence of the electric noise from the warm air generation unit 10. It has become. Further, by arranging the motor 9 in the lower portion, it is possible to improve the weight balance of the entire clothes dryer D1, so that the vibration of the clothes dryer D1 is also suppressed.

Therefore, according to the clothes dryer D1, the influences of heat, electrical noise, and vibration on the charge recognition unit 13 can be suppressed, and false detection of charges due to these influences can be less likely to occur. ..

In the clothes dryer D1 of the present embodiment, the warm air generation unit 10 including the gas burner 10a that generates high temperature and the discharge device 10d that may generate electrical noise, and the electrical noise and electric noise Motors 9, which are electric motors that may generate vibration, are arranged side by side in the lower portion of the first side plate 24 inside the housing 2. On the other hand, the charge recognition unit 13 is provided at the end of the front plate 22 adjacent to the second side plate 25 facing the first side plate 24 on the second side plate side.

However, the clothes dryer of the present invention has a configuration in which the first side wall, which is the placement reference of the warm air generation unit, and the second side wall, which is the placement reference of the charge recognition unit, face each other, or the electric motor. The configuration may be such that the third side wall, which is the placement reference, and the fourth side wall, which is the placement reference of the charge recognition unit, face each other.
