Description

The present invention relates to a garment processing device that performs washing or drying of clothes housed in a garment processing chamber.

Conventionally, there is known a home electric appliance that detects the opening of a door and starts accepting an input unit to save the trouble of inputting an operation such as a start button.

For example, the washing machine of Patent Document 1 includes a control unit, which includes an operation panel for inputting user operations, an open / close sensor for detecting the opening / closing of the outer lid, and a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature inside the washing tub. , Humidity sensor that detects the humidity in the washing tub, Water level sensor that detects the water level in the washing tub, Water supply valve, Drive motor, Drain valve, Disinfectant deodorizer, Communication unit that communicates with external equipment , It is connected to a weight sensor or the like that detects the weight of the washing tub.

Then, the open / close detection unit detects whether or not the outer lid is opened / closed based on the open / closed state of the outer lid detected by the open / close sensor. Whether or not the outer lid is opened and closed serves as a judgment material for determining whether or not the laundry has been taken in and out, and is one of the triggers for determining whether or not the laundry has been left unattended. More specifically, when the weight of the laundry is detected by the weight sensor after a predetermined period after the outer lid is opened and closed, it is determined that the laundry is left unattended.

In addition, the setting unit sets the time to disinfect and deodorize during the period other than the washing operation period, based on the temperature inside the washing tub detected by the temperature sensor and the humidity inside the washing tub detected by the humidity sensor. (Patent Document 1 / paragraph 0013,0015).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2015-070945

However, in the washing machine of Patent Document 1, it is necessary to keep the microcomputer running at all times in order to detect a state in which clothes are left in the washing tub for a long time. That is, if the state of detecting the opening / closing of the door and checking the output status of the sensor continues, there is a possibility that the power consumption during standby increases.

The present invention has been made in view of such a background, and an object of the present invention is to provide a garment processing apparatus capable of suppressing power consumption during standby.

In order to achieve the above object, the garment processing apparatus of the present invention is used.
It has a main body, a clothes processing room provided inside the main body, and a door for opening and closing the clothes input port of the clothes processing room, and executes a clothes processing operation for washing or drying clothes in the clothes processing room. It is a clothing processing device that
Input means that accepts operation input by the user,
An object passage detecting means provided around the input port of the clothing processing chamber and detecting that an object has passed through the input port, and an object passage detecting means.
The input means and the power supply means for supplying electric power to the object passage detection means are provided, and when the object passage detection means detects the passage of the object, the power supply means powers the input means. It is characterized by starting the supply of.

The garment processing apparatus of the present invention opens the door, stores the garment in the garment processing chamber from the inlet of the garment processing chamber, and executes the garment processing operation for washing or drying the garment. The clothing processing device includes an object passage detecting means for detecting that an object has passed through the inlet of the clothing processing chamber, and when the object passing detecting means detects the passage of the object, the power supply means inputs an operation of the user. Start supplying power to the input means that accepts. In this way, the garment processing device starts accepting input when the object passes through (for example, when the garment is stored in the garment processing chamber) regardless of whether the door is opened or closed, so that the power consumption during standby is increased. Can be suppressed.

In the garment processing apparatus of the present invention
When the object passage detecting means detects the passage of the object for the first time after the completion of the garment processing operation, it is preferable that the power supply means does not start supplying electric power to the input means.

When the object passage detecting means detects the passage of an object for the first time after the completion of the garment processing operation, it is highly possible that the user takes out the processed garment from the garment processing room. Therefore, the power supply means does not start supplying power to the input means. As a result, the garment processing apparatus can further reduce the power consumption during standby.

Further, in the garment processing apparatus of the present invention,
A door open / close detecting means for detecting the opening and closing of the door is provided.
When the door open / close detecting means detects the opening of the door, it is preferable that the power supply means starts supplying electric power to the object passage detecting means.

In the garment processing apparatus of the present invention, the opening and closing of the door is detected by the door opening / closing detecting means (physical switch such as a micro switch). Then, when the door open / close detecting means detects the opening of the door, the power supply means starts supplying power to the object passing detecting means for the first time, so that the object passing detecting means does not function in the closed state of the door. As a result, the garment processing apparatus can further reduce the power consumption during standby.

Further, in the garment processing apparatus of the present invention,
It is provided with a clothes detecting means for detecting the presence or absence of clothes in the clothes processing room and a time measuring means for measuring time.
After the object passage detecting means detects the passage of the object and the power supply means starts supplying electric power to the input means, the timekeeping by the timing means starts, and even after a predetermined time elapses, the clothing. When the processing operation is not started, the clothing detecting means detects the presence or absence of clothing in the clothing processing chamber, and the clothing detecting means detects the presence or absence of clothing.
When the clothing detecting means does not detect clothing, it is preferable that the power supply means stops the supply of electric power to the input means.

According to this configuration, after the object passage detecting means detects the passage of the object and the power supply means starts supplying power to the input means, the timekeeping by the timing means starts. Then, when the clothes processing operation (washing or drying) is not started even after the lapse of a predetermined time, the clothes detecting means detects the presence or absence of clothes in the clothes processing room.

If no garment is detected in the garment processing chamber, the power supply means stops the power supply to the input means. That is, the input means to which the passage of the object is detected and the electric power is supplied is stopped from supplying the electric power when it is determined that there is no clothing after the lapse of a predetermined time. As a result, the garment processing apparatus can further reduce the power consumption during standby.

There is. The door open / close switch 41 is a micro switch that detects the opening and closing of the door 6.

Further, an object passage sensor 42 (“object passage detection means” of the present invention) is provided above the peripheral edge of the clothing inlet 5. The object passage sensor 42 is, for example, an infrared sensor, and in the standby state of the object passage sensor 42, infrared rays are emitted so as to cover the entire clothing inlet 5. As a result, it is possible to detect an object such as a user's hand or clothes passing through the clothes slot 5.

Although the details will be described later, in the clothes dryer 1, when the door 6 is opened by the user and the object passage sensor 42 detects the passage of the object in the clothes inlet 5, the main power supply is started, and the user operates the operation panel. Input is possible from 17. For example, when the user puts clothes in the rotating drum 4, the main power supply is supplied.

Inside the main body case 2, a motor for rotating the rotary drum 4, a combustion unit that heats the outside air to generate hot air, a hot air duct that guides the hot air to the inside of the rotary drum 4, and the like are provided.

An air supply hole 9b for the purpose is formed. As a result, the heated air introduction duct 9 mixes the combustion exhaust gas of the gas burner 7 with the air taken in through the air intake port 10 and the air supply hole 9b, and uses this as drying air from the heated air outlet port 9a to the rotating drum 4. Supply to the inside of.

A large number of small holes 4c that can be ventilated are formed on the back surface of the rotating drum 4. As a result, even if the rotary drum 4 is rotating, the supply of the heated air to the inside of the rotary drum 4 is maintained through the small hole 4c at the position facing the heated air outlet port 9a of the heated air introduction duct 9. The heated air introduction duct 9 and the rotating drum 4 are substantially connected to each other.

One side edge of the door 6 is openably and closably connected to the front plate of the main body case 2 via a hinge (not shown). Further, a first moisture exhaust duct 18 is provided inside the door 6. When the door 6 is closed, the first moisture drain duct 18 communicates with the rotary drum 4 via the clothes inlet 5, and extends upward from the upstream end to the downstream end.

A filter 19 is provided at the upstream end of the first moisture exhaust duct 18. The filter 19 is provided on the inner surface side (main body case 2 side) of the door 6 and is a filter mainly for preventing lint from flowing into the first moisture drain duct 18. The filter 19 is detachably held in a filter case 20 protruding into the clothes inlet 5.

Inside the main body case 2, a second moisture exhaust duct 21 extending in the front-rear direction is provided. The second moisture drain duct 21, together with the first moisture drain duct 18, constitutes a moisture drain path that draws out moisture from the inside of the rotary drum 4, and is arranged in the space above the rotary drum 4 inside the main body case 2. ing. When the door 6 is closed, the downstream end of the first moisture exhaust duct 18 and the upstream end of the second moisture exhaust duct 21 are connected to each other via a connecting hole 22 formed through the front plate.

The downstream end of the second moisture exhaust duct 21 is a moisture exhaust port 23 that opens upward on the outside of the main body case 2, and the moisture exhaust port 23 has an exhaust pipe (not shown) extending to the outside. Be connected.

Further, the second moisture exhaust duct 21 is provided with a moisture exhaust fan 24. The moisture exhaust fan 24 is a centrifugal fan such as a sirocco fan or a turbo fan driven by a fan motor 24a, and is provided in a posture in which the rotation axis thereof faces in the vertical direction.

Further, an electrode sensor 43 is provided in the rotating drum 4. The electrode sensor 43 is a sensor that utilizes the fact that the electrical resistance value at the time of contact differs between dry clothes and wet clothes.

FIG. 3 shows the system configuration of the clothes dryer 1. As shown in the figure, in the clothes dryer 1, the controller 30 (“power supply means” of the present invention) includes a rotary drum 4, an operation panel 17, a moisture exhaust fan 24, a timer 31, an alarm unit 32, a communication unit 33, and a door. It is connected to the open / close switch 41, the object passage sensor 42, and the electrode sensor 43.

The controller 30 is an electronic circuit unit composed of a CPU, a memory, various interface circuits, etc. (not shown). The controller executes a control program of the clothes dryer 1 held in the memory, and the door open / close switch 41 and an object pass through. The detection signal is received from the sensor 42 and the electrode sensor 43 to control the operation of the rotating drum 4, the moisture exhaust fan 24, and the like.

Further, the controller 30 supplies electric power to the rotary drum 4, the operation panel 17, the moisture exhaust fan 24, the timer 31, the alarm unit 32, the communication unit 33, the door open / close switch 41, the object passage sensor 42, the electrode sensor 43, and the like. I do.

The timer 31 mainly manages various operations of the clothes dryer 1. Further, in the present embodiment, the timer 31 measures the period during which the operation panel 17 is not operated by the user from a predetermined trigger.

The alarm unit 32 outputs a buzzer sound to notify the user when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The alarm unit 32 can notify the user, for example, that clothing is left behind in the rotating drum 4.

The communication unit 33 is configured to wirelessly connect to an external terminal 50 (for example, a user's smartphone) by Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (registered trademark). For example, a warning signal that outputs a buzzer sound is transmitted to the external terminal 50 via the communication unit 33. As a result, the user can recognize the alarm of the clothes dryer 1 even if he / she is away from the clothes dryer 1.

The object passage sensor 42 starts operating after the controller 30 receives a detection signal for opening the door 6 from the door open / close switch 41. Specifically, the object passage sensor 42 shifts to the standby state when the door 6 is opened, and shifts to the hibernation state when the door 6 is closed.

Further, the operation panel 17 starts operation after the controller 30 receives an object passage detection signal from the object passage sensor 42. Specifically, the controller 30 supplies power to the operation panel 17 only when the object passes through the clothing slot 5, and the user can operate and input the operation panel 17.

Next, a flowchart (power saving control) after the power of the clothes dryer 1 is turned on will be described with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B.

First, in FIG. 4A, when the power outlet of the clothes dryer 1 is turned on, it is determined whether or not the leakage detection device is normal (STEP01). If there is no problem of electric leakage and it is normal, the process proceeds to STEP02, and if it is not normal, the process proceeds to STEP03.

If there is a problem with the leakage (“NO” in STEP01), the user needs to eliminate the cause of the abnormality (STEP03). After that, it returns to STEP01.

On the other hand, when there is no problem of electric leakage (“YES” in STEP01), the clothes dryer 1 sets the door open / close switch to the standby state (STEP02). Specifically, the controller 30 supplies electric power to the door open / close switch 41 and sets the door 6 in a state where it can detect the opening and closing of the door 6. Then proceed to STEP04.

Next, the clothes dryer 1 determines whether or not the door is opened (STEP 04). Specifically, the door open / close switch 41 confirms the opening of the door 6, and when the opening is detected, a detection signal is transmitted to the controller 30. If the opening of the door 6 is detected, the process proceeds to STEP05, and if the opening of the door 6 is not detected, the process proceeds to STEP07.

When the opening of the door 6 is detected (“YES” in STEP 04), the clothes dryer 1 sets the object passage sensor to the standby state (STEP 05). Specifically, the controller 30 supplies electric power to the object passage sensor 42, and sets the object in a state where it can detect an object passing through the clothing inlet 5 by infrared rays. Then proceed to STEP06.

Next, the clothes dryer 1 determines whether or not the passage of the object is detected (STEP 06). If the object passage sensor 42 detects the passage of the object, the process proceeds to STEP08, and if the object passage sensor 42 does not detect the passage of the object, the process proceeds to STEP07.

If the opening of the door 6 is not detected (“NO” in STEP 04), or if the passage of an object is not detected (“NO” in STEP 06), whether or not the clothes dryer 1 has been manually turned on. Is determined (STEP07). This is assumed to be the case where the power is turned on for the sterilization operation of the rotating drum 4. If the power is turned on by the user, the process proceeds to STEP08, and if the power is not turned on, the process returns to STEP04.

When the object passage sensor 42 detects the passage of an object (“YES” in STEP06), or when the power is turned on by the user (“YES” in STEP07), the clothes dryer 1 supplies the main power (STEP08). ). As a result, electric power is supplied to the operation panel 17, and the user can start the drying process and the like. Then proceed to STEP09.

After that, the clothes dryer 1 starts the timer and sets the electrode sensor to the standby state (FIG. 4B, STEP09). Specifically, the controller 30 transmits a control signal to the timer 31, and the timer 31 starts timing. Here, the time after the main power is supplied is measured.

Further, the controller 30 supplies electric power to the electrode sensor 43 and sets the clothes in the rotating drum 4 in a state where moisture can be detected. Then proceed to STEP10.

Next, the clothes dryer 1 determines whether or not the drying process has been started (STEP 10). When the drying process is started, the process proceeds to the "normal operation process". On the other hand, if the drying process is not started, the process proceeds to STEP 11.

When the drying process is not started (“NO” in STEP 10), the clothes dryer 1 determines whether or not 10 minutes have passed (STEP 11). If 10 minutes have passed without starting the drying process after the main power is supplied, the process proceeds to STEP 12, and if 10 minutes have not passed yet, the process returns to STEP 10.

When 10 minutes have passed (“YES” in STEP 11), the clothes dryer 1 determines whether or not the moisture of the clothes is detected (STEP 12). Specifically, the electric resistance value detected by the electrode sensor 43 is transmitted to the controller 30, and it is determined whether or not the clothes in the rotating drum 4 are moist. If the electrode sensor 43 detects the humidity of the clothes, the process proceeds to STEP 16, and if the moisture is not detected, the process proceeds to STEP 13.

First, the case where the moisture of the clothes is not detected (“NO” in STEP 12) will be described. In this case, the clothes dryer 1 rotates the rotating drum (STEP 13). Specifically, the controller 30 supplies electric power to the rotary drum 4 (drive motor 4b), and rotates the rotary drum 4 for, for example, 10 seconds in order to confirm the presence or absence of clothing. Then proceed to STEP14.

Next, the clothes dryer 1 determines whether or not the moisture of the clothes is detected (STEP 14). This is a process of reconfirming whether or not the clothes in the rotating drum 4 are moist during the rotation of the rotating drum 4. If the electrode sensor 43 detects the moisture of the clothes, the process proceeds to STEP 15. On the other hand, when moisture is not detected, it is determined that the clothes are not damp, and the series of flows is terminated.

When the moisture of the clothes is detected (“YES” in STEP 14), the clothes dryer 1 stops the rotating drum (STEP 15). Specifically, the controller 30 stops the power supply to the rotary drum 4 (drive motor 4b), so that the rotation of the rotary drum 4 is stopped. Then proceed to STEP 16.

After the rotating drum 4 is stopped (STEP 15) or when the moisture of the clothes is detected (“YES” in STEP 12), the clothes dryer 1 starts the notification by the buzzer (STEP 16). Specifically, when the controller 30 transmits a control signal to the alarm unit 32, a buzzer sound is output for a certain period of time. This is a notification to the user that moist clothing is left behind in the rotating drum 4.

At this time, the clothes dryer 1 may transmit the control signal to the external terminal 50 owned by the user via the communication unit 33. As a result, the user can recognize the alarm even when he / she is away from the clothes dryer 1. Then proceed to STEP17.

The clothes dryer 1 determines whether or not the passage of an object is detected (STEP 17). This is synonymous with determining whether or not the user has taken out the clothes in the rotating drum 4. If the passage of an object is detected, the process proceeds to STEP 18, and if the passage of an object is not detected, the process proceeds to STEP 19.

When the passage of an object is detected (“YES” in STEP 17), the clothes dryer 1 stops the buzzer (STEP 18). Specifically, the buzzer sound is stopped by the controller 30 transmitting a control signal to the alarm unit 32. That is, since it is highly possible that the user has taken out the clothes in the rotating drum 4, the notification is stopped. After that, it returns to STEP10.

On the other hand, when the passage of the object is not detected (“NO” in STEP 17), the clothes dryer 1 determines whether or not there is an operation operation (STEP 19). Since the user may perform an operation operation after opening the door 6 and looking into the rotating drum 4, the confirmation process is performed. If there is a driving operation, the process proceeds to STEP 20, and if there is no driving operation, the process proceeds to STEP 21.

When there is an operation operation (“YES” in STEP 19), the clothes dryer 1 stops the buzzer (STEP 20). After that, the process proceeds to "normal operation processing".

On the other hand, when there is no operation operation (“NO” in STEP 19), the clothes dryer 1 rotates the rotating drum and starts the moisture exhaust fan (STEP 21). Specifically, the controller 30 supplies electric power to the rotary drum 4 (drive motor 4b) and the moisture exhaust fan 24 (fan motor 24a) to start the rotary drum 4 and the moisture exhaust fan 24. This is a process for preventing the clothes from drying out. Then proceed to STEP22.

Next, the clothes dryer 1 determines whether or not the moisture of the clothes is detected (STEP 22). If moisture in clothing is detected, it loops until no moisture is detected. On the other hand, if moisture is not detected, it is determined that the dry state of the clothes has disappeared, and the process proceeds to STEP23.

Next, the clothes dryer 1 stops the buzzer, the rotating drum, and the moisture exhaust fan (STEP23). This completes the process for drying the clothes. As described above, the clothes dryer 1 also has a function of suppressing the propagation of various germs on clothes and the generation of odors. After that, the series of flows is terminated.

Finally, with reference to FIG. 5, a flowchart (power saving control) after the normal operation process (drying process) of the clothes dryer 1 is completed will be described. It is assumed that the main power supply is automatically turned off after the end of normal operation.

First, the clothes dryer 1 sets the door open / close switch to the standby state (STEP 31). Specifically, the controller 30 supplies electric power to the door open / close switch 41, and sets the door 6 in a state in which opening / closing can be detected. Then proceed to STEP32.

Next, the clothes dryer 1 determines whether or not the door is opened (STEP 32). For example, after the drying process is completed, the door 6 is opened when the user takes out the clothes in the rotating drum 4. If the opening of the door 6 is not detected, the loop is performed until the opening of the door 6 is detected. On the other hand, when the door open / close switch 41 detects the opening of the door, the process proceeds to STEP 33.

Next, the clothes dryer 1 determines whether or not the door is closed (STEP 33). For example, if the object passage sensor 42 is set to the standby state after the first door 6 is opened after the drying process is completed, the object is detected many times for the clothes taking-out work. Therefore, power is not supplied to the object passage sensor 42 here.

Further, the object passage sensor 42 may be set to the standby state, but even if the object is detected, the main power supply is not supplied. As a result, the clothes dryer 1 can suppress the power consumption during standby.

If the closing of the door 6 is not detected, the loop is performed until the closing of the door 6 is detected. On the other hand, when the closing of the door is detected, the process proceeds to STEP 04 in FIG. 4A. That is, when the door 6 is opened thereafter, the passage of the object is detected by the object passage sensor 42. Since the subsequent processing is the same as the description of FIGS. 4A and 4B described above, the description thereof will be omitted.

In the above embodiment, the fact that clothing is left behind on the rotating drum 4 is detected by the electrode sensor 43 while the rotating drum 4 is rotating (FIGS. 4B, STEP 16 to 17). However, the moisture exhaust fan 24 may detect that clothing is left behind on the rotating drum 4.

For example, when clothes are left behind, in the constant air volume control of the moisture exhaust fan 24, the operating current of the fan motor 24a changes before and after the rotation of the rotating drum 4 due to the difference in resistance. In this way, the presence or absence of clothing may be determined from the change in the current value. The resistance load may increase due to the clogging of the filter, but in such a case, the current value does not change before and after the rotation of the rotating drum 4, and can be distinguished.
