Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention utilizes heat in solvent vapor evaporated in a still as a heat source for drying clothes.

The solvent vapor is condensed by the air flowing through the drying ventilation path.

In conventional dry cleaners, the heater installed in the drying ventilation path is an electric heater or a steam heater.
Electric heaters increase power consumption, and steam heaters require a boiler. It also requires a special cooler to condense the solvent vapors evaporated from the steamer.

In the present invention, one end of the heating medium passage of the heater provided in the drying ventilation passage is connected to a solvent distiller, and the other end is connected to a water separator K.
Particularly, when the solvent vapor evaporated in the distiller passes through the heater, the heat emitted is used to dry the clothes and condense the adhesive vapor, which is then transferred to the water separator. This system eliminates the need for electric heaters and ovens for drying clothes, eliminates the need for separate coolers to condense solvent vapors, and even if necessary, only a small capacity It's all you need.

To explain based on the diagram below, (1) is the washing tub, (!) is the solvent tank, and (3) is the liquid supply pump. by

1 is a distiller, and the distillation chamber (1) is separated by a partition plate (9).
It is divided into a heating chamber (U) and an electric heater (1!+) is installed in this heater.
This is a pressure switch for detecting the pressure inside the tank. When using the distiller tal, water is put into the heating chamber (Ill), and this water is heated by the electric heater θ to generate steam, and this steam is used to distill the water through the partition plate rod j. The solvent in the vessel (101) is heated and distilled.

04) is a drying ventilation passage whose both ends communicate with the laundry room full, and inside the ventilation passage there is a filter tube/float switch (

During the above-mentioned washing operation, the solvent also enters this drying ventilation passage an up to the position of the front A11 noroto switch θ-, and this float The solvent level in the washing tub 111 is controlled by the switch 11ψ.

(B) is connected.

The condenser (l19) is the ninth solvent recovery pipe that recovers the condensed solvent, and once it is collected in the collected liquid collecting tank □□□, it is transferred to the water separator via the solenoid valve. I try to let it flow. The fins (C) are an intake valve and an exhaust valve, respectively, and are located at the position indicated by the broken line in Figure 0 during the drying process, closing the intake port and exhaust port provided in the drying ventilation path, and during the deodorization process after the drying process. Switch to the solid line position in the figure, and then move the drying ventilation path (14
At the same time, the intake port device and the exhaust port are opened. C11l is a motor that drives the blower η.

In the above configuration, when the washing process and the deliquid process are completed, the solvent is distilled at the same time as the drying process begins. That is, when the washing process is completed, the drain pump (6) rotates, and the solvent in the washing tub (ill) enters the distillation tank (11) through the electromagnetic pulp. 4 are the same during the forgiveness process. On the other hand, when the washing process approaches JI6, the electric heater track of the distiller is energized and steam is generated in the heating chamber. Therefore, the solvent that has entered the steam chamber is heated by the steam, evaporates, and flows into the heater (I@) through the pulp screen.Meanwhile, at this time, the blower αη rotates, and the condenser ( Cold water is flowing through the air pipe I.Therefore, when the air sucked into the drying ventilation passage 04 from the washing tub eel by the blower aη passes through the condenser O8, it condenses the solvent contained in this air. The solvent is collected in the collected liquid collection tank, and when the solenoid valve is opened after the drying process, the water separator 2
1) and is further collected in a solvent tank (!) VC.

On the other hand, the air that has passed through the condenser o1 passes through the heating cap.

The heating medium circuit alK of this heater shaft is connected to the distiller (
Since the high temperature solvent vapor evaporated from 8) is flowing, this heater shaft is at a high temperature.

Therefore, the air is heated as it passes through the heating tube 6, and is blown into the washing tub as hot air to evaporate the solvent from the clothes in the washing tub and dry the clothes. On the other hand, the solvent vapor flowing through the heating medium path (-) of the heater is condensed by dissipating heat in this heater, and further flows into the water separator sill. The solvent is
After being further cooled by a coil and separating water, it is collected in a solvent tank fi+. This drying process continues until the distillation is complete. That is, the distillation is completed and the distiller (1
When the solvent in the heater runs out, the pressure in the heater rises rapidly, which is detected by the pressure switch +14 and the -C drying process ends.

Once drying is completed, the deodorizing process begins.

In the deodorizing process, the intake valve shift and the exhaust valve - are switched to the solid line position shown in the figure, and fresh air is introduced into the intake port device and the exhaust port (Section 1 is opened, and from the intake device to the washing tub 11). Furthermore, the exhaust port (
Discharge from the sun. As a result, even after the drying process, the washing tub (1
The solvent vapor that was filling the inside of the tank () is discharged from the exhaust port.

As described above, in the present invention, the solvent vapor evaporated from the distiller is passed through the heater provided in one drying passage, and the heat of the solvent vapor is used to dry the clothes. There is no need for a heat source for drying clothes, and even if one is needed, one with a small capacity can be used. Furthermore, since the air flowing over the surface of the heater is cooled by the condenser, the bath agent vapor within the heater is deprived of heat and quickly condenses. Therefore, a special cooler is not required for condensing the solvent vapor evaporated from the -C distiller, and even if only one with a small volume is necessary, it is possible to provide a rigid dry cleaner.
