Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a dehydrating washing machine capable of washing and dehydrating laundry items.

There have been cases where the balance has been disrupted and the spin-drying operation cannot be performed smoothly, making it impossible to perform the washing and spin-drying operations continuously.

In addition, in the second type, washing is performed by rotating the rotating drum around the horizontal axis and rolling the items to be washed without depending on the water flow, so compared to the first type. The amount of water used when washing is reduced, and the items to be washed are no longer twisted or tangled. However, with this second type, at the end of the washing operation, the object to be washed is unevenly distributed at the bottom of the rotating drum due to its own weight, causing the center of gravity of the rotating drum to be unbalanced, so it continues to rotate in this state. It is not possible to perform dehydration by rotating the drum at high speed around the horizontal axis.In order to suppress vibrations, this type of dehydration cannot be performed by rotating the drum at high speed around the horizontal axis.
It uses a large, heavy flywheel-like weight. Therefore, this type of washing machine was heavy and unsuitable for household use.

(Operation) Next, the operation of the dehydrating/drying/washing machine configured as described above will be explained.

Now, in this dehydrating drying washing machine, the main body opening/closing 114
After putting the items to be washed into the inner tank 33 with the inner tank lid 42 open, the inner tank 11 body 42 is closed, and
When the main body opening/closing 114 is closed and a start switch (not shown) is turned on, a series of operations shown in the time chart of FIG. 5 are automatically performed in sequence. That is, first, the main body opening/closing 124 is locked in the closed position by the lid locking solenoid 9, and is maintained in this locked state until the series of operations is completed.

After that, water supply operation by the water supply device 81, first drive mechanism 7

8 opening, dewatering operation based on the rotation of the inner tank 21 by the second drive mechanism 80, water supply operation by the water supply device 81, water supply by the water supply device 81, and rinsing based on the rotation of the inner tank 33 by the first drive mechanism 79. operation, drainage operation by opening the drain valve 88, dewatering operation based on the rotation of the inner tank 21 by the second drive mechanism 80, hot air supply by the hot air supply device 95, and rotation of the inner tank 33 by the first drive mechanism 79. A drying operation is performed based on this.

When the laundry is to be washed, the drain valve and the clutch solenoid (not shown) are turned off, the spring clutch 74 is cut off, the first drive mechanism 79 is formed, and the brake The body 78 enters a braking state and the rotation of the inner tank 21 is restricted. In this state, the seed part driving motor 55 is rotated, and the inner tub 33 is rotated around the horizontal axis XX through the first drive mechanism 79, and the objects to be washed are rotated by the plurality of reversing ridges 38, 46, 54. While being transferred, the so-called washing process is carried out.

Therefore, compared to a method in which the items to be washed are stirred with water using a pulsator, etc., the amount of water used during washing can be reduced, and since the items to be washed are hardly twisted or tangled during the washing operation, the washing operation can be performed with just a cloth. Moreover, after the washing operation is finished, there is no need for the troublesome work of correcting twists and entanglements of the items to be washed, and the washing operation can be changed from the washing operation to the draining operation and the dewatering operation. Can be migrated automatically.

Further, when rinsing is performed after washing the laundry, the inner tub 33 is rotated around the horizontal axis x-X by the seed section driving motor 55 via the first drive mechanism 79, as in the case of washing. At the same time, by opening the water supply valve 82 of the water supply device 81, water is supplied from the first water supply port 84a toward the outer peripheral surface of the inner tank 33, and at the same time, water is supplied from the second water supply port 85a to the ventilation passage 99, the ventilation port 101, and Water is supplied to the inside of the inner tank 33 via the rear shaft part 34, and the rinsing water in the outer tank 15 is discharged from a drainage channel (not shown) of an overflow port (not shown) to maintain a constant water level. . Therefore, the rinsing water is replaced one after another, and the bubbles adhering to the outer circumferential surface of the inner tank 33 are gently washed away along the spherical outer circumferential surface by the water from the first water supply port 84a. Bubbles adhering to the items to be washed are effectively washed away by the water from the second water supply port 85a. Therefore, the generation of bubbles is effectively suppressed, and the clothes in the inner tub 33 are rinsed from the inside and outside of the inner tub 33.

Further, when dewatering is performed after the washing and rinsing of the laundry, the drain valve and the clutch solenoid are turned on, and the spring clutch 74 is connected to the second
When the drive mechanism 80 is formed, the brake body 78 enters a non-braking state, allowing the inner tank 21 to rotate. In this state, the seed part driving motor 55 is rotated, and the second drive mechanism 8
0, the inner tank 21 and the inner tank 33 are integrally connected to the vertical axis Y-
It rotates at high speed around the Y to dehydrate the items to be washed. Therefore, the rotational axis of the inner tank 33 containing the items to be washed is changed from the horizontal axis X-X to the vertical axis Y-Y during the transition from the washing or rinsing operation to the dewatering operation without changing the attitude of the tank. This allows the process to be carried out smoothly in a short period of time.

Furthermore, if the laundry is dried after dehydration,
As in the case of washing, the seed part movement motor 55 causes the first
The inner tank 33 is rotated around the horizontal axis X-X via the drive mechanism 79, and the warm air generated from the hot air supply device 95 is energized by the fan motor 96 and the heating fan 98. , a flexible bellows-shaped connecting cylinder 100,
The air is supplied into the inner tank 33 via the air passage 99, the air outlet 101, and the rear shaft portion 34, and is discharged from each small hole 40. Therefore, as the inner tank 33 rotates, the items to be washed are transferred and the drying operation can be carried out effectively.

During this drying operation, the high-temperature and humid air in the inner tank 33 is transferred to the rear shaft portion 34 of the inner tank 33, which also serves as an air outlet.
The overflow hose 9 is connected from an overflow port (not shown) that also serves as a hot air exhaust port formed in the side wall of the outer tank 15 on the opposite side.
1 and is further discharged to the outside via a drainage hose 89.

The hot and humid protrusions are cooled and dehumidified in the overflow hose 91, expansion cooling chamber 92, and drain hose 89. Therefore, the hot and humid air in the inner tank 33 is not directly discharged to the outside.
