Claims (1)

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] (1) A rotating drum driven by a motor and arranged with its rotating shaft in a horizontal direction within a water tank of a predetermined volume, a water supply means for the water tank, and the water tank. A washing machine comprising a drainage means having a drainage channel communicating with the bottom of the washing machine, and a drying means including a heater and a blower fan for supplying hot air for drying clothes toward the water receiving tank, wherein the washing machine is provided in the drainage channel. A dehumidifying section capable of storing a predetermined amount of wastewater at the bottom while leaving an air passage at the top is provided on the downstream side of the drainage control valve, and the dehumidifying section and the drying means are connected by a return pipe for drying. A circulation loop is formed, and a filter member for collecting lint and the like is provided at a predetermined portion of the circulation loop, and when drying clothes, the hot air for drying the clothes is passed through the drainage control valve of the drainage channel to the dehumidification section. The washing machine is characterized in that the hot air is introduced, dehumidified by water cooling, and then returned to the drying means through the return pipe for circulation. (2) The washing machine according to claim 1, wherein the dehumidifying section is provided with a heat exchange means such as a coiled body or a fin whose lower part is immersed in the drainage water and whose upper part is in contact with the hot air. (3) The washing machine according to claim 1, wherein the filter member is housed in a housing attached to the outlet side of the drainage control valve. (4) The washing machine according to claim 3, wherein the filter member is formed in a cassette type that can be easily attached and detached.
