[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a processing apparatus for performing necessary processing such as softening processing, water repellent processing, antistatic processing, antibacterial deodorizing and sanitary processing on laundry.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As an apparatus for applying water repellent treatment to laundry,
There is a commercially available apparatus equipped with a spray for discharging a processing liquid to a rotating container for storing laundry and a solvent recovery machine. This type of processing apparatus performs processing by injecting a processing liquid from a plurality of nozzles while rotating a container containing laundry.

[0003]

However, it is more efficient and more efficient to spray a machining liquid with human eyes than to use a nozzle built into the apparatus to perform this type of processing automatically. It is compact and less troublesome. On the other hand, cleaning factories are usually provided with dryers that dry laundry by putting them in a rotating drum, but the operating rate of such dryers is not so high. It is convenient if it can be used for both processing and drying. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus that is used as both a normal dryer and a processing machine.

[0004]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following configuration. That is,
The apparatus for processing laundry and the like according to the present invention includes a rotating drum provided in a casing with an opening facing outward, a suction device for sucking air in the rotating drum, and a heating device for heating the inside of the rotating drum. The device includes a lid that can be opened and closed to cover the opening of the rotating drum. The lid is made of a transparent plate that allows the inside of the rotating drum to be seen, and the transparent plate has a small window having a cover that can be opened and closed. It is characterized by being provided.

[0005]

The laundry can be dried by heating and rotating the rotating drum and suctioning the drum with a suction device. Also, put the laundry that has been washed into the rotating drum,
The laundry can be processed by spraying a processing liquid from a small window provided on the transparent plate of the lid while rotating the laundry.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The embodiments shown in the drawings will be described below. The processing apparatus 1 can be manufactured by improving a conventional commercial dryer, for example, and has a rotary drum 3 provided in a rectangular casing 2. The rotary drum 3 is formed in a cylindrical shape having an open front side, and an opening 3 a thereof faces a window 5 provided in the casing 2. Note that the diameter of the rotating drum 3 is considerably larger than the diameter of the window 5. The peripheral wall 3b of the rotating drum 3 is made of a mesh-shaped perforated plate.

The rotating drum 3 slowly rotates around a horizontal axis by a rotating power from a motor (not shown).
The direction of rotation is reversed every few rotations (typically about 10 rotations). A radiator-type heating device 4 that uses steam as a heat medium is provided near the upper portion of the rotating drum 3 so that the rotating drum can be heated to an appropriate temperature, for example, 50 to 60 ° C. In addition, a blower 6 as a suction device is provided below the rotating drum 3 so as to suck air in the rotating drum.

The window 5 is provided with a lid 9 rotatably attached to a front surface of the casing 2 with a hinge 7. Lid 9
Is formed by fixing a transparent acrylic plate 10 to a ring-shaped frame 9a so that the inside of the rotating drum 3 can be seen. At the free end of the frame 9a is a handle 1 with a magnet.
1 is provided integrally, and is attached and fixed to a magnetic body provided on the casing 2 when the cover is covered.

[0009] The transparent acrylic plate 10 of the lid 9, diameter 7
An 8-cm small window 15 is provided. The small window 15 is covered by a transparent cover 17 rotatably pivoted left and right by a pin 16.

[0010] On the front surface of the casing 2, a temperature setting device 20 for setting the temperature of the rotary drum 3, a valve 21 for supplying steam directly into the drum 3, temperature indicator 22, the steam pressure indicator 23, operating A timer 24 for setting time, a power switch 25, a blower switch 26, a damper opening / closing degree adjusting lever 27 for introducing outside air into the casing 2, and the like are provided. The steam is supplied from the outside into the casing through the pipe 30, and is discharged through the pipe 31 after heating the hot plate. Further, the gas sucked by the blower is discharged outside through the exhaust duct 32.

When the processing apparatus 1 is used for drying laundry, the lid 9 is opened, wet laundry is put in the rotating drum 3, the lid is closed, and the rotating drum 3 is rotated while being heated by a heating device. Let it. At this time, air containing water or solvent in the rotating drum is sucked by the blower and discharged to the outside.
For this reason, the inside of the rotary drum 3 becomes negative pressure, and the transparent cover 17 of the small window 15 comes into close contact with the surface of the transparent plate 10.

[0012] Next, when using this processing device for processing the clothes, for example (in some cases, it may be processed in without drying) pre-washing to dry clothes in the rotary drum 3 Put and rotate the rotating drum and spray from the small window 15 (for example, a sprayer when supplying water)
A predetermined machining liquid is sprayed by hand 41 by inserting the workpiece 40. Since the direction of the spray can be changed freely,
A desired amount of processing liquid can be evenly sprayed on clothes and the like in the rotating drum. As described above, since a desired amount of the working fluid can be sprayed to a desired location from the outside as appropriate, the working fluid and the processing time are less wasted, and the working can be performed easily.

[0013]

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, the processing device according to the present invention has a simple structure, and is capable of drying laundry and
Processing can be performed efficiently. In particular, since the processing liquid can be sprayed from a small window provided on the transparent plate of the lid that covers the opening of the rotating drum by spraying, etc., the waste of processing liquid and processing time is reduced, and various operations can be performed easily and easily. Processing can now be performed.
