Next, as shown in FIG. 2, air collection hoods 62 are attached to the upper portions of the main body side plates 11 on both sides via support plates 61. The air collection hood 62 is disposed above the steam board 42 and has a function of collecting steam containing dirt such as malodorous components.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG.
A deodorizing device 64 is connected to the upper part of the deodorizing device 64 via a duct 63. This deodorizing device 64 has a built-in cooling unit 66 that liquefies and recovers steam containing dirt such as malodorous components, and a deodorizing material 67 such as activated carbon, inside a main body case 65, and an exhaust fan 68. It is connected. The cooling section 66
consists of a cooling water pipe 71 and a fin 72, and by supplying cooling water to the pipe 71, the fin 72 is cooled, and the surface of the fin 72 contains dirt sent from the hood 62. Condenses steam. This condensed sewage collects at the bottom of the main body case 65 and is discharged from the drain pipe 73.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

By placing futons a on the steam board 42 and blowing out steam (having a high pressure of about 5 to 7 kg/cjl) from the futons mounting surface 43, the futons a are sterilized by the high heat of the steam. At the same time, the kinetic energy of the steam separates and removes dirt such as malodorous components from the futon (a).

At this time, the steam containing dirt such as malodorous components separated and removed from the futons a is collected by the air collection hood 62, and further the vapor containing dirt such as malodorous components is liquefied and collected by the deodorizing device 64.

When the steam on the steam board 42 finishes sterilizing the futons a and separating and removing dirt, pull the steam board 42 toward you and move the steam board 42 to the upper side of the futon insertion part 13 of the outer body 12. do. Then, the outer door 15 and the inner door 26 are opened, and as shown in FIG. Move it so that it is parallel to the

Then, by rotating the rotating drum 21 forward and backward at a circumferential speed of 45 m/min to 80 m/min while blowing hot air into the interior of the rotating drum 21, the futons A are dried. As the rotating tram 21 rotates, it rises to an appropriate height from the bottom of the rotating drum 21, then falls midway due to its own weight and is struck against the bottom of the rotating drum 21.

Further, since the futon A is not rolled up but kept in a stretched state as shown in FIG. 5, it is dried uniformly and evenly beaten to restore its fluffy state.

For example, the state of the futons A inside the rotating drum 21 after drying and restoring the futons A+ made of cotton and the comforter Ak made of cotton while rotating the rotating drum 21 at various circumferential speeds is shown. Shown below.

○: The state in which the futon is stretched without being rolled up x The state in which the futon is curled or bent From this table, the circumferential speed is
If the rotating drum 21 is rotated forward and backward for 30 seconds at a speed of 9.9 m/min, the mattress As and the comforter Ak will curl up and bend as shown in FIG.
When the rotating drum 21 is rotated forward and backward for 30 seconds at one of 1 m/min, 62.8 m/min, and 78.5 m/min, both the mattress As and the comforter Ak remain the same even after being dried and restored. As shown in FIG. 5, it can be seen that it is inside the rotating drum 21 in a substantially extended state without being curled.

That is, when drying and restoring the futons A with the peripheral speed of the rotating drum 21 higher than 80 m/min, the futons A cannot follow the rotation of the rotary drum 21 due to the high circumferential speed, and this rotation This creates a state in which the inside of the drum 21 is left open, causing the cotton inside the futon A to become extremely uneven, resulting in the futon A being rolled up. In addition, since the futon A is violently slammed against the bottom of the rotating drum 21, the cover covering the surface of the futon A may be damaged, and the circumferential speed of the rotating drum 21 is reduced to 80 m.
A speed faster than 1/min is inappropriate for uniform drying and restoring of Futons A.

In addition, when drying and restoring the futons A with the circumferential speed of the rotating drum 21 slower than 45 m/min, the futons A gradually twist due to the slow circumferential speed, and the futons A curl up and become futons. The cotton of A will be shifted to one side. In addition, since the force with which the futon A is struck against the bottom of the rotating drum 21 is weak, it becomes difficult for the futon A to return to its fluffy state. , is unsuitable for uniform drying and restoration of futon A.

On the other hand, the circumferential speed of the rotating drum 21 was changed from 45 m/min to 80 m/min.
When drying and restoring the futons A for 1 minute, the futons A will not be torn or gradually twisted inside the rotating drum 21, and will be able to dry and restore the futons A from the bottom of the rotating drum 21 as the rotating drum 21 rotates. It rises to an appropriate height, falls down due to its own weight, is struck against the bottom of this rotating drum 21 with an appropriate force, and is further dried and restored without curling up.

Therefore, the circumferential speed of the rotating drum 21 is increased from 45 m/min to 80 m/min.
When the futon A is dried and restored at a speed of up to m/min, the futon A is dried uniformly without curling up and is evenly restored, so that the entire futon A can be restored to a fluffy state. .

In addition, when futons are sterilized, dirt removed, dried, and restored using this recycling device, they are subjected to stain removal and other treatments as pretreatment, and then the futons treated with this recycling device are packed in a vacuum packaging machine. Even including the processing time, it only takes about 15 to 20 minutes, which is an extremely short time compared to washing bedding.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, by placing futons in a rotating body and rotating the rotating body at a circumferential speed of 45 m/min to 80 m/min while blowing hot air inside, the futons can be rolled up without curling up. The futons are dried evenly by the hot air, and the futons are evenly beaten by the repeated falling motion of the rotating body, so the futons are restored to a uniformly fluffy state. can. Therefore, when futons that have undergone sterilization treatment or dirt separation/removal treatment are dried and restored using this futon recycling device, the futons can be regenerated into a fluffy state evenly and evenly.
