DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a fully automatic drying and washing machine of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a main part of a fully automatic drying and washing machine according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an outer frame of the fully automatic drying and washing machine, and 2 denotes washing, rinsing, dehydrating, and drying. (Control unit), 3 is an operation display unit, 4 is a lid for opening and closing the upper plate opening. A water tank 5 is provided inside the outer frame 1.

The water tank 5 is suspended from the outer frame 1 by a vibration isolating mechanism 6 mounted between the lower part and the upper end of the outer frame 1, and a water tank cover 7 is provided at the upper end. Fixed. An intermediate lid (inner lid) 19 is provided between the two water tank covers 7, and this lid 19 does not allow laundry or water to jump out of the dehydrating tub 8 during washing, rinsing, and spin-drying. During drying, it functions to suck indoor air through a hole formed in a part of the lid 19.

A stirring blade 9 rotated by a motor (electric motor) 10 and a gear box 11 is provided below the dewatering tank 8.
(Pulsator) is provided, and during washing and rinsing, 55 to 300 r. p. After the rotation of m, washing or rinsing is performed. Also, at the time of dehydration, 0 to 1000 r. p. Spin at m for dehydration.

Further, at the time of drying, the stirring blade 9 alone is 300
r. p. m, the room air is sucked through the lid 19 as shown by the dashed arrow in FIG. 1 and has stitches in the middle and the periphery as shown in FIG. After passing through the middle mesh of the shelf 20 having the covered shielding portion, it rises along the wall of the dewatering tub 8 and passes again through the outer mesh of the shelf 20 on which the laundry S is placed, and the dehydration tub 8 and the liquid balancer 16 Through the water tank 5, drain pipe 14, drain hose 1
Drained from 5.

As shown by a solid line in FIG. 1, the flow of air below the stirring blade 9 is such that air supplied through a gap between the stirring blades 9 is provided with a heater 17 disposed annularly below the dewatering tank. Is heated to around 50 ° C, and the lint filter 1
From the portion 8, the laundry is supplied again into the dehydration tub 8, joins the air flow (dashed arrow) in the dehydration tub 8, and can dry the laundry as air at about 40 ° C.

The water evaporated from the laundry S is cooled in the water tub 5 or the like and drained from the drain hose 15 as dew water. Reference numerals 12 and 13 denote drain pipes and drain valves for washing, rinsing, and dewatering. Reference numeral 21 denotes a projection provided on a part of the dewatering tub 8 for placing the shelf 20 in the dewatering tub 8. 22a, 22
A temperature sensor b senses the temperature of the heater outlet when the laundry is dried and the temperature of the air containing steam after passing through the laundry to detect the end of the drying.

In this case, for example, when the heater outlet temperature is 5
The case where the temperature is 0 ° C. and the air temperature after the laundry is 45 ° C. is considered to be the end of the drying, and when it is detected that the drying is finished, the liquid crystal display element of the operation display unit 3 or the buzzer notifies.

Here, when the shelf 20 is provided above the lint filter 18 from which the heated air flows, the laundry S is dried more quickly due to the flow of air. However, in this step, after the washing and dehydration are completed, the laundry S must be taken out of the washing machine, the shelf 20 must be set, and the laundry S must be placed on the shelf 20.

The heater 17 and the temperature sensor 22a, which are provided in an annular shape below the dewatering tub 8, can also be used as a heater for washing water during washing and a temperature sensor for washing water.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the shelf 20 has a central part where no laundry is loaded and only air is allowed to pass therethrough. Provide a rope on which objects are placed. By doing so, the room air enters from the central part of the shelf 20 and exits from the peripheral part, so that the short circuit of the drying wind can be avoided, and the laundry can be effectively dried.

[0020]

As described above, since the fully automatic washing machine of the present invention has the above-described structure, the laundry is dried on the shelves after dehydration, so that the laundry does not wrinkle and contains water vapor. Drying can be performed without releasing air into the room, and since the end of drying can be notified, it is possible to reliably prevent forgetting to take out laundry, and furthermore, it is possible to dry easily even with a vertical type fully automatic washing machine. And so on.
