On the other hand, the washer / dryer 1 according to the present embodiment can process 27 kg of washing and 16 kg of drying. Therefore, it is possible to process not only clothes but also large items such as futons to be washed. This can be achieved, for example, by increasing the diameter of the drum 40 or the import described later.

(Display operation panel 20c)
As shown in FIG. 1, a display operation panel 20c for a user to perform an operation for a laundry processing operation is arranged on the upper part of the front panel 20a. The front surface of the display operation panel 20c is made of transparent resin or glass so that the surface can be easily cleaned and kept clean, and has, for example, five course selection buttons 201. The course selection button 201 accepts user input when selecting a washing / drying course on the washer / dryer 1 side.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20 described later, it is possible to arbitrarily set a dedicated course for each course selection button 201, for example, the type of laundry (clothes, duvet, mattress, etc.) and It is possible to allocate 3 washing / drying courses, 1 washing course, 1 drying course, etc., which differ in required time and fee according to the processing amount (weight). This makes it possible to set the course according to the local needs of the coin laundry store, the usage situation, or the characteristics of the store. The number of course selection buttons 201 is not limited to five, and more may be provided to cover many courses.

The course selection button 201 has a course name light emitting unit 201a indicating each course name of washing / drying / washing / drying, and a ring-shaped ring light emitting unit 201b surrounding the course name light emitting unit 201a. The course name light emitting unit 201a and the ring light emitting unit 201b can be turned on, blinked, and turned off by a backlight such as an LED provided on the back of the display operation panel 20c. It will be the same color (for example, black). That is, it is possible to hide unnecessary dials and the like from the user and suppress unnecessary power consumption. Course name The course name shown in the light emitting unit 201a can be freely changed by replacing the character sheet (see reference numeral 510b in FIG. 19) on the back surface or by controlling the character dot display. The ring light emitting unit 201b may be arranged inside or outside the course selection button 201.

It is preferable that these two light emitting units emit light in different colors. For example, the course name light emitting unit 201a may be made to emit light in white, and the ring light emitting unit 201b may be made to emit light in a color different from white. In particular, the ring light emitting unit 201b may emit light in a different color for each course. For example, the ring light emitting unit 201b of the course selection button 201 corresponding to the washing course is configured to emit light in a first color corresponding to washing, for example, a blue color associated with washing. Further, the ring light emitting unit 201b of the course selection button 201 corresponding to the drying course is configured to emit light in a second color corresponding to drying, for example, an orange system associated with (image) drying. Further, the ring light emitting unit 201b of the course selection button 201 corresponding to the washing / drying course has a first color corresponding to washing, for example, a blue color associated with washing (image), and a second color corresponding to drying, for example, drying. It is configured to emit an orange system that is associated with (image). That is, it is configured to simultaneously emit two colors, a blue ring light emitting portion and an orange ring light emitting portion, on the top, bottom, left and right.

FIG. 12 shows an example of a display operation panel 20c of a laundry device of a medium-sized machine (middle size M) in which five courses can be selected, for example. The five courses are a washing / drying course with a capacity of 16 kg, a washing / drying course with a capacity of 10 kg, a washing course with a capacity of 27 kg, a drying course with a capacity of 16 kg, and a futon washing course. Therefore, the first (upper) ring light emitting unit 201b-1a of the washing / drying course having a capacity of 16 kg emits light in a blue color (color corresponding to (associating) washing), and the second (lower) ring light emitting unit 201b-1b. Is set to emit orange light (a color corresponding to (associating) drying). Similarly, the first ring light emitting unit 201b-2a of the washing / drying course having a capacity of 10 kg is set to emit blue light, and the second ring light emitting unit 201b-2b is set to emit orange light. Further, both the first ring light emitting unit 201b-3a and the second ring light emitting unit 201b-3b of the washing course having a capacity of 27 kg are set to emit light in a blue color (a color corresponding to (associating) washing). Further, both the first ring light emitting unit 201b-4a and the second ring light emitting unit 201b-4b of the drying course having a capacity of 16 kg are set to emit orange light (a color corresponding to (associating) drying). Further, both the first ring light emitting unit 201b-5a and the second ring light emitting unit 201b-5b of one futon washing course are set to emit blue light. Here, it is assumed that the ring light emitting portions (201b-1a to 201b-5a, 201b-1b to 201b-5b) are arranged above and below the outside of the course selection button 201, but the rings are arranged up and down or left and right inside the course selection button 201. A light emitting unit may be arranged. Although the first ring light emitting unit and the second ring light emitting unit are one semicircular ring, a plurality of small rings may be connected to form a semicircular ring.

In this way, in the case of only washing and drying, the course content can be associated with one color, and in the washing and drying course, each can be emitted in two different colors that can be associated with the course selection button. Visually expresses what kind of course content 201 (course name light emitting units 201a-1 to 201a-5 in FIG. 12) is, and what kind of course content is the course selection button 201 sensuously to the user. Can be understood at a glance. That is, since the course name is displayed inside the circle formed by the first ring light emitting unit (for example, 201b-1a) and the second ring light emitting unit (for example, 201b-1b), it is easy for the user to understand. A display can be provided. The color scheme of this light emission is arbitrary, and it is preferable that the color scheme can be changed according to, for example, a remote course setting change described in detail later.

Returning to FIG. 1, in the centralized settlement machine connected to the washer / dryer 1 or in the standby state before the charge is charged to the washer / dryer 1 itself, for example, all the course selection buttons 201 are turned off to make a motion sensor. When the user is detected by the above, it is preferable to control the lighting so that all the lights are turned on from the viewpoint of reducing the electricity charge. The motion sensor here may be provided in the washer / dryer 1 or may be provided in a store. If it is installed in a store, the detection signal from the human sensor may be directly input to the washer / dryer 1, and may be input to a server or a centralized settlement machine communicable with the washer / dryer 1. Then, the detection result of the sensor may be input to the washer / dryer 1 via these. As a means for detecting the presence of a user who uses the laundry device 1, image processing using a camera image may be used in addition to the motion sensor. The motion sensor and the camera are installed at a predetermined position in the store (for example, near the entrance or near the front of the laundry device 1).

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a display example of the “standby” display operation panel 20c. Since FIG. 13 shows an example of a washing machine of a small machine (small size S), it is configured to have four courses without the futon washing course of FIG. Here, it is assumed that the motion sensor has already detected the user's entry into the store. Therefore, all four courses are displayed so as to be visible to the user so that the user can know that the laundry device 1 is on standby. However, nothing is displayed in the display area 203 of "charge / remaining time" because it is waiting. Further, the drying temperature setting area 208 and the "burning" display area 210, in which the drying temperature can be changed in a plurality of stages according to the clothes, are set in a state invisible to the user by turning off the backlight. Further, the state display unit (hereinafter, referred to as a flicker lamp as an embodiment) 205, which will be described later, is also turned off.

Returning to FIG. 1, when the user selects the desired course selection button 201, the ring light emitting unit 201b of the selected button blinks, or the ring light emitting unit 201b of the non-selected course selection button 201 turns off, the illuminance is reduced, or the like. It is preferable to make it easy for the user to identify the selected course. The extinguishing and illuminance reduction may be performed in the capacity display area 201c, the setting area 202, the option button 204, and the flicker lamp 205, which will be described later. The capacity display area 201c and the setting area 202 are referred to as display areas. The display content of the display area can be changed by replacing the character sheet according to the specifications of the laundry device 1.

Considering the reselection of the course selection button 201, it is preferable that the course name light emitting unit 201a of the non-selected course selection button 201 remains lit even when the ring light emitting unit 201b is turned off. After that, at the same time as or at the same time as the start of operation, only the course name light emitting unit 201a and the ring light emitting unit 201b of the selected course selection button 201 are turned on, and the other light emitting units of the course selection button 201 are turned off. It should be noted that the control is not limited to this, and if the selected course can be visually understood and the control is taken into consideration for reselection, any means such as lighting, blinking, extinguishing, and illuminance reduction can be used. good.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a display example of the display operation panel 20c of “during course selection” in the laundry equipment 1 of the small machine (small size S) as in FIG. 13. In FIG. 14, as a course selection operation, for example, when it is desired to select a washing / drying course of 12 kg at the left end, a finger (or a finger) is held over the course selection button (course name light emitting unit 201a-1). The motion sensor inside the device is activated, and the display of the course selection button (course name light emitting unit 201a-1) maintains the same brightness. On the other hand, the illuminance is reduced to the extent that the display of the course (course name light emitting unit 201a-2 to 201a-4) other than the course selection button (course name light emitting unit 201a-1) looks faint.
In FIG. 14, the first ring light emitting units 201b-2a to 201b-4a and the second ring light emitting units 201b-2b of the course selection buttons (course name light emitting units 201a-2 to 201a-4) other than the 12 kg washing / drying course are shown. The shaded display on ~ 201b-4b indicates that the display is faint (illuminance down). In the drying temperature setting area 208 of FIG. 14, for example, "high temperature" is displayed according to the user's setting. Further, in the display area 203 of "charge / remaining time", an amount of money deposited by the user, for example, 1200 yen is displayed. Instead of the light display in the first ring light emitting units 201b-2a to 201b-4a and the second ring light emitting units 201b-2b to 201b-4b, the entire course other than the 12 kg washing / drying course may be displayed lightly.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a display example of the display operation panel 20c of the “driving” of the course selected in FIG. 14. The "12 kg washing / drying course" selected in FIG. 14 is displayed with the same brightness, but the other courses are partially or wholly turned off (in FIG. 15, shaded shades indicate the lights are turned off). Then, the display is controlled so that it becomes the same color as the back surface (for example, black) and cannot be seen by the user. In addition, the option button 204 is also turned off to make it invisible to the user. As a result, it can be seen at a glance that the laundry equipment 1 is operating the "12 kg washing / drying course" while suppressing unnecessary power consumption. In FIG. 15, for example, "high temperature" is displayed in the drying temperature setting area 208 according to the user's setting. Further, the remaining time of 48 minutes is displayed in the display area 203 of the "charge / remaining time". Further, the display area 210 of "burning" is displayed by turning on the backlight.

Returning to FIG. 1, above each of the course selection buttons 201, a capacity display area 201c indicating the capacity of the laundry in the course content indicated by each course selection button or the target number of sheets is provided as one of the display areas. .. Like the course name light emitting unit 201a and the ring light emitting unit 201b, the capacity display area 201c can be turned on, blinked, and turned off by a backlight such as an LED, and when the light is turned off, the same color as the back surface (for example, black). ). The numerical value shown in the capacity display area 201c (10 kg if the item to be washed is clothes, 1 sheet if it is a futon, etc.) can be freely changed by replacing the character sheet on the back of the panel or by controlling the character dot display. It is possible.

A setting area 202 for displaying the course content (time and charge) indicated by each course selection button, which is one of the other display areas, is provided above each of the capacity display areas 201c. Here, two setting areas 202 are provided vertically for one course selection button 201. For example, one of the two can display the required usage time and the other can display the usage fee, so that the user can recognize the content of each course. The setting area 202 and the charge / remaining time display area 203 are 7-segment displays, and the display can be switched according to the setting change by remote control described in detail later.

For example, FIG. 12 shows a display operation panel 20c in which the course time and the fee thereof are displayed in the setting area 202 for each course. In FIG. 12, in the washing / drying course having a capacity of 16 kg, 1200 yen / 60 minutes is displayed by default. Also, in the washing / drying course with a capacity of 10 kg, 1000 yen / 50 minutes is displayed by default. Also, in the laundry course with a capacity of 27 kg, 800 yen / 30 minutes is displayed by default. In addition, in the drying course with a capacity of 16 kg, 100 yen / 10 minutes is displayed by default. Furthermore, 1200 yen / 30 minutes is displayed as default for one futon washing course.
