(Maintenance unit operation)
Next, the operation of the maintenance unit 3 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of maintenance unit control executed by the control unit in the first embodiment of the present invention.

  In the routine shown in FIG. 8, first, in step S1, the motor 14 is driven to move the maintenance unit 3 to the uppermost position. Here, the uppermost position is, for example, a position corresponding to the upper end portion of the clothing 100. When the motor 14 is driven, the driving pulley 11 is rotationally driven via the transmission belt 15 and the gear 16, and the timing belt 10 rotates between the driving pulley 11 and the driven pulley 12. As a result, the maintenance unit 3 moves in the vertical direction as the timing belt 10 rotates.

  Next, in step S2, the rotary brush 20 is driven to brush the garment 100. Thereby, dirt such as dust attached to the garment 100 is swept away by the rotating brush 20, so that the dirt of the garment 100 can be removed. Next, in step S <b> 3, the first fan 22 is driven to form an air flow from the rotary brush 20 toward the first fan 22. Thereby, the dirt swept off by the rotating brush 20 flows into the inflow side air passage 23 together with the air from the suction port 21 and is collected by the dust collecting filter 24. As a result, the air purified by the dust collection filter 24 is sucked into the first fan 22.

  Next, in step S4, by driving the IH heater 28, water supplied from the water supply tank 29 to the IH heater 28 via the water supply pipe 30 is heated to generate steam. At this time, the water stored in the water supply tank 29 may be sent from the water supply pipe 30 to the IH heater 28 by an electric pump or the like as necessary. In step S4, the first fan 22 is held in a driven state.

  As a result, the steam generated by the IH heater 28 is blown from the blower outlet 25 together with the air blown from the first fan 22 and blown to the clothing 100. Thereby, deodorization of clothing 100 can be performed using steam with high temperature. The amount of steam sprayed is preferably about 100 mL / 30 minutes, for example. If it is determined that the steam has been sufficiently blown, the process proceeds to step S5, the energization to the IH heater 28 is interrupted, and the generation of steam is stopped.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, it is good also as a structure which stores the above-mentioned oxidation inhibitor in the water supply tank 29, or stores the aqueous solution of an oxidation inhibitor. According to this configuration, in step S <b> 4, oxidation inhibitor vapor is generated by the IH heater 28, and the vapor is blown onto the clothing 100. Thereby, for example, even when sebum dirt adheres to the garment 100, yellowing of the garment 100 due to oxidation of the sebum dirt or the like can be suppressed by the oxidation inhibitor. Therefore, not only deodorization of clothing 100 but also suppression of yellowing can be realized.

Next, in step S <b> 6, the PTC heater 27 is driven with the first fan 22 being driven, and the warm air generated by the PTC heater 27 is blown to the clothing 100. As a result, the garment 100 after spraying steam can be efficiently dried with warm air. Moreover, the garment 100 can be sterilized with high-temperature air. In addition, as a temperature of warm air, the high temperature of 60 degreeC or more is preferable, for example. Moreover, as a blowing amount of warm air, for example, an air amount of 0.2 m ³ / min or more is preferable.

  In the present embodiment, the processes in steps S2 to S6 described above are set as a unit maintenance operation. That is, the unit maintenance operation is to operate the rotary brush 20, the dust collection filter 24, the IH heater 28, and the PTC heater 27 in the order listed. Next, in step S7, it is determined whether the maintenance unit 3 has reached the lowest position. The lowest position is, for example, a position corresponding to the lower end portion of the garment 100. When the determination in step S7 is established, it is determined that the outside maintenance for the entire clothing 100 has been completed, and the process proceeds to step S8. In step S8, the first fan is stopped and this routine is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the determination in step S7 is not established, the process proceeds to step S9, and the motor 14 is driven to move the maintenance unit 3 from the current position to a position one level lower. Here, the one-step lower position is, for example, a position moved downward by a distance equal to the vertical dimension (height dimension) of the maintenance unit 3. As a result, the maintenance unit 3 is in a state of facing a new part of the garment 100, so that the unit maintenance operation is executed for the part by executing the processes in steps S2 to S6 again.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, when performing maintenance of the garment 100, the unit maintenance operation is performed on each part of the garment 100 while moving the maintenance unit 3 from the upper side to the lower side of the garment 100. Run each one. Thereby, it is possible to sequentially perform removal of dirt by brushing, collection of dirt, deodorization by blowing steam, drying and sterilization by blowing warm air on the entire clothing 100.

  At this time, by lowering the maintenance unit 3 from the upper side, the clothing 100 can be prevented from rolling up and maintenance can be performed smoothly. Further, since the steam is blown after the dirt is removed from the garment 100, it is possible to prevent the dirt from being fixed to the garment 100 by blowing the steam, for example.

  Therefore, the maintenance of the garment 100 can be automatically executed efficiently and high maintainability can be realized. Moreover, the darkening etc. of the clothing 100 resulting from adhesion etc. of dirt can be suppressed and the lifetime can be extended. In addition, when the oxidation inhibitor vapor is blown, yellowing of the garment 100 due to oxidation of sebum dirt can be suppressed, and the garment 100 can be further prolonged.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of functions required for the maintenance of the clothing are integrated into the maintenance unit 3 so that a portion other than the maintenance unit 3 in the clothing maintenance device is formed narrower than the clothing 100. Can do. Thereby, a small and multifunctional clothing maintenance device can be realized.

(Operation of hanger unit)
Next, the operation of the hanger unit 4 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of control of the hanger unit executed by the control unit in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This control may be executed in parallel with the control shown in FIG. 8, or may be executed independently of the control.

  In the routine shown in FIG. 9, first, in step S11, the second fan 40 and the atomizing device 43 are driven. As a result, the oxidation inhibitor stored in the oxidation inhibitor tank 42 is atomized by the atomizing device 43 to become steam, and this steam, together with the air blown out from the second fan 40, is connected to the hanger portion 45 from the outlet 44. Into the inlet 45d. And this vapor | steam is discharge | released toward the inner side of the clothing 100, especially toward a side part from the outflow port 45e of each arm part 45a via the ventilation path 45c.

  Thereby, while deodorizing inside clothing 100, yellowing resulting from oxidation of sebum dirt, etc. can be controlled. In particular, in the present embodiment, each outlet 45e of the hanger part 45 is opened at a position facing the side part of the garment 100, so that the oxidation inhibitor is applied to the side part where sebum stains, odors and the like are easily attached. Can be efficiently brought into contact with each other, and the deodorizing and yellowing suppressing effects of the side portions can be remarkably exhibited.

  In step S <b> 11, the heater 41 may be driven when steam is blown from the outlet 44. In this case, high-temperature steam containing an oxidation inhibitor can be supplied to the inside of the garment 100, and the deodorization and yellowing suppression effects can be further improved as necessary. Moreover, in this Embodiment, it is good also as a structure which blows off high temperature water vapor | steam in step S11, without using an oxidation inhibitor. Even with this configuration, the clothes 100 can be deodorized.

  Next, in step S <b> 12, the atomizing device 43 is stopped and the heater 41 is driven to blow warm air inside the clothing 100 instead of steam. Thereby, the inside of the clothing 100 can be sterilized and dried. In step S12, it is not always necessary to blow warm air, and drying may be performed by blowing normal temperature air. Next, in step S13, it is determined whether or not the maintenance on the inside of the garment has been completed based on, for example, the elapsed time since the hanger unit 4 was activated. If this determination is established, the second fan 40 and the heater 41 are stopped in step S14, and this routine is terminated.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the maintenance unit 3 can maintain the outside of the garment 100 and the hanger unit 4 can maintain the inside of the garment 100. Therefore, the inside and outside of the garment 100 can be efficiently maintained in a short time, and a small and high-performance garment maintenance device can be realized.

  Further, in the present embodiment, maintenance can be automatically performed while the clothing 100 is hung on the hanger portion 45 to suppress the deformation. Further, at the time of maintenance, steam and warm air can be easily supplied to the inside of the garment 100 using the air passage 45c of the hanger portion 45. Furthermore, the hanger part 45 is provided with the trouser hook 45b which hangs | hangs textile products, such as trousers, a tie, and a towel, for example. Therefore, when maintaining the inside of the garment 100, the maintenance of the attached textile product can be performed at the same time, and the convenience of the user can be improved.

  Moreover, in the hanger unit 4 mentioned above, it is preferable to make it the structure which makes the vapor | steam and warm air which blow off from the blower outlet 44 reach | attain not only the inflow port 45d of the hanger part 45 but the collar part of the clothing 100. FIG. This configuration is realized, for example, by forming the opening area of the outlet 44 larger than the opening area of the inlet 45d. Thereby, the steam and warm air blown from the outlet 44 at a position outside the inflow port 45d do not flow into the inflow port 45d, but come into contact with the collar portion of the garment 100 or through the collar portion. Flows into the inside. Therefore, maintenance such as deodorization, suppression of yellowing, and sterilization can be efficiently performed on the collar portion that is likely to have sebum stains, odors and the like as well as the side portions.
