霧化單元產生之霧氣會因為其粒徑而在浮遊性或表面 張力（潤濕性）等特性上有所不同。即，粒徑小於10/zm 之超微細霧氣也稱為乾霧氣，由於極微細，因此具有表面 張力高，浮遊性高，但附著於物時之潤濕性低之特徵。粒 5 後10〜50μ m之微細霧氣也稱為濕霧氣，由於相較於上 述之乾霧氣，粒徑相對較大，因此具有表面張力弱，附著 於物時之濡濕性高之特徵。粒徑超過50# m之較粗大的霧氣 則具有親水之性質。 該等霧氣當中，潤濕性優異之濕霧氣係附著於洗滌物 之衣物等而有效率的使洗務物濕潤，可減少乾燥過程之衣 物等之皺折，因此使含有大量之該濕霧氣之霧氣充滿於旋 轉滾筒槽内此點在減少衣物等皺折之效果上係很重要的。 又，在霧化單元中產生之霧氣導入至衣物放置處時，可儘 了月b的不碰彳里到導入管路之管壁等，即，不會凝結於管壁 5等而損失，而有效率的將大量的霧氣送入至衣物放置處此 點也是很重要的。 在曰本專利公開公報特開2〇〇3一 、特開2⑼6一 ^8585中揭示之洗衣乾衣機或乾衣機中，欠缺此種觀點。 20 Z此’未必能有效率的減少衣物等之輯，且無法乾燥、 脫臭。 直接碰觸到噴霧裝置47 而且’日本翻公開純特開細3_3 i丨術所揭示之洗 力機4〇中，^風裝置44係與喷霧裝置47對向地配置於 二、衣置45之上游側’且構成為由送風MM產生之暖風 因此，雖然由噴霧裝置47噴出之 7 200840904 霧氣的一部份可依舊到達内槽43内之衣物，但其他大部分 都碰撞到暖風循環路徑46之内壁面46a，大多數會在内壁 面46a凝結成為水滴而損失後才到達内槽43。洗衣乾衣機4〇 中，可藉由霧氣碰撞到内壁面46a時之破碎效果而產生負 5離子’提间靜電之除電政果’但是卻有由嘴霧裝置喷出 之霧氣，大部分在途中就消失而無法到達内槽43内之衣類 使衣類濕潤，難以有效減少皺痕之問題。 又，在日本專利公開公報特開20〇心158585所揭示 之乾衣機50中，電解霧氣產生器56係配置於設於乾燥室 1〇 51下部之機械室52。而且，其可將自電解霧氣產生器％ 產生之電解霧氣供給至加熱器54之下游側，藉由與來自 加熱器54之熱風混合使電解霧氣高溫化後，再從管室％ 向上方排出。在此，電解霧氣係通過形成有複數狹縫或 孔等之喷出部（乾燥室51之底板）而喷出，供給至乾燥室 15 51。雖然說此種構成之乾衣機50在喷出部形成有複數狹 縫或孔等，但大部分之霧氣會碰撞到未形成狹缝或孔等 之底板下面’而/旋結成為水滴D因此，乾衣機$ 〇中，自 電解霧氣產生器56產生之霧氣的大部分會在中途消 失，無法到達乾煉至51内之衣物，故有無法濕潤衣物， 20甚至連皺折都無法減少的問題。而且，由於係如此形成 水滴，再將熱風供給至濕度高之管室58，因此濕度高之 熱風也會導入乾燥室51，即使可期待有些許除臭效果， 也無法充分地使衣物乾燥。 8 200840904 t 明内】 發明概要 10 15 20 —本發明之滾筒式洗衣乾衣機，係於水槽内設有旋轉滾 y該旋轉滚㈣成有透孔，並收容絲物且受驅動而旋 轉，且前述㈣錢衣餘鶴由彳增述水㈣供水、排 水及控制前述旋轉滾筒之旋轉，執行絲、清洗、脫水之 驟X且藉由运風I置，使前述水槽内之空氣流通循 有除濕裝置及加熱裝置之循環送風路徑，藉此執行 ==之絲㈣，其舰在於：產生霧氣之霧化單元設 政接近料π之上綠置，且料風口係自前述循環送 7⑽乾燥之空氣送人前述水槽，㈣述霧化單元係經 則述導風口上方之連接口而直接與前述循環送風路 :接，並由前述連接口將前述霧氡送入前述循環送風路 =’亚_前述導風口使之落人前述水槽，藉此將以粒徑 鐘㈣〜之濕霧氣為主體之前述霧氣導入 轉滾筒内。 /為如此構成之滾筒式洗衣乾錢，由霧化單元產生 ^務氣會由位於導風π上方之霧化單元雜環送風路根之 接口狀循環送風路徑，並藉由自體重量而落下，流入 ::Γ方之導風口。進而’霧氣會由導風口落入水槽， 旋轉滚筒内。如此，由霧化U至導風口之移動 邊’而且可藉由自體重量流入導風口，因此可抑制 移動路_巾碰_管料峨落分_現象，並可抑 |互相凝集之現象。結果，濕潤性優異、且峰徑為心m 9 200840904 〜50 // m之濕霧氣為主體之霧氣會導入並充滿於旋轉滾筒 内，可有效地濕潤衣物表面，並且可藉由使如此狀態下之 衣物乾燥而可有效地減少衣物產生之皺痕。 圖式簡單說明 5 第1圖係用以說明本發明之實施形態之滾筒式洗衣乾 衣機之構造的側視截面圖。 第2圖係從殼體背面側看過去的立體圖，用以說明同一 滾筒式洗衣乾衣機之循環送風路徑及霧化單元之配置。 第3圖係從殼體背面側看過去之擷取一部分的截面 10 圖，用以說明同一滾筒式洗衣乾衣機之循環送風路徑及霧 化單元的構造。 第4圖係用以說明同一滾筒式洗衣乾衣機之霧化單元 與水槽之連接構造的側視截面圖。 第5圖係用以說明同一滾筒式洗衣乾衣機之霧化單元 15 之構造的側視截面圖。 第6圖係用以說明同一滾筒式洗衣乾衣機之霧化單元 之構造的後視截面圖。 第7圖係用以說明本發明之變形例之滾筒式洗衣乾衣 機之霧化單元之構造的侧視截面圖。 20 第8圖係用以說明設有習知霧化單元之洗衣乾衣機之 構造的截面圖。 第9圖係用以說明同一霧化單元之構造的截面圖。 I：實施方式3 10 200840904 权佳貫施例之詳細說明 a =下根據，t兒明本發明之霧化單元及滾筒式洗衣 乾衣栈之最佳實施形態。此外，理應明瞭，下述所揭示之 貝滅人％在所有方面為例示，而非為限制者。本發明之技 5術14範圍並非實施形態所揭示之内容，由申請專利範圍之 °己載所不’且應明瞭其包含在和中請專利範圍均等之意義 及範圍内之所有變更。 首先，根據第1圖〜第4圖，詳細說明設有本發明之實施 形恶之霧化單元之滾筒式洗衣乾衣機的構造 、動作。第1圖 10係用以說明本發明之實施形態之滾筒式洗衣乾衣機之構造 的側視截面圖。第2圖係從殼體背面側看過去的立體圖，用 以說明同一滾筒式洗衣乾衣機之循環送風路徑及霧化單元 之配置。第3圖係從殼體背面侧看過去之擷取一部分的截面 圖’用以說明同一滾筒式洗衣乾衣機之循環送風路徑及霧 15 化單元的構造。又’第4圖係用以說明同一滾筒式洗衣乾衣 機之霧化單元與水槽之連接構造的侧視截面圖。 滾筒式洗衣乾衣機1係藉由洗衣乾衣機殼體2内之未圖 示之懸吊構造將水槽3配置成懸吊狀態。水槽3内設有形成 為帶底圓筒形之旋轉滾筒4，且係配置成其軸心方向由正面 20側朝背面側向下傾斜。水槽3之正面側形成有通過旋轉滾筒 4之開口端的衣物出入口。而且，藉由打開形成於洗衣乾衣 機殼體2之正面側，且設於向上傾斜面之開口部之可開關的 門5，可通過衣物出入口在旋轉滾筒4内取放洗滌物。因門5 係設於向上傾斜面，故不需彎腰即玎進行取放洗滌物之作 11 200840904 業，可改善一般從橫向之開口部取放洗滌物之滾筒式洗衣 機的作業性的缺點。 旋轉滾筒4於其周壁4a及底壁4b形成有可通往水槽3内 之多數透孔4c。底壁4b在沿與形成於水槽3之導風口 18對向 • 5之圓周方向的複數位置形成有底面開口4d。又，周壁如内 . 面之複數位置设有攪拌突起4e。該旋轉滾筒1可藉由安裝於 水槽3之背面侧的馬達6,朝正轉及逆轉方向旋轉驅動。又， • 供水管路7及排水管路8係舖設管道連接於水槽3，藉由未圖 不之供水閥及排水閥的控制來進行往水槽3内之供水及自 10水槽3内之排水。 打開門5，由開口部將洗滌物及洗條劑投入旋轉滾筒4 内；袞_式洗衣乾衣機1開始運轉時，由供水管路7將預定 里之水注入水槽3内，藉由馬達6驅動旋轉滾筒4旋轉，開始 洗衣步驟。收容於旋轉滾筒4内之洗滌物隨著旋轉滾筒4之 15旋轉被攪拌突起如朝旋轉方向抬起，再從所抬起之適當高 籲 I位置落下’反覆進行擾拌動作，使捶洗作用可及於洗務 物以進行洗滌。 在經過所需之洗條時間後，髒污之洗條液會由排水管 ‘ 路8排出。然後藉由使旋轉滾筒4高速旋轉之脫水動作，將 12 1 2〇洗滌物所含之洗滌液脫水，然後，由供水管路7供水至水槽 3内，執行洗清、脫水步驟。在前述洗清、脫水步驟中，收 谷於旋轉滾筒4内之洗滌物也會隨旋轉滾筒4之旋轉被攪拌 突起4e抬起再落下，反覆進行攪拌動作，進行洗清。然後， 在進行洗清後，再次藉由使旋轉滾筒4高速旋轉之脫水動作 200840904 將洗條物所含之水脫水，結束洗清、脫水步驟。 在钂滾筒式洗衣乾衣機1中，設有可將收容於旋轉滾筒 4内之洗滌物乾燥的機能，且設有可將水槽3内之空氣排 氣、除溼，並將加熱後之乾燥空氣再送風至水槽3内之循環 ‘ 5賴路徑9。在該循環送風路徑9的途中，在洗衣乾衣機殼 體2内之下位位置設有蒸發器10等之除濕裝置、凝結器叫 之加熱裝置，及送風風扇12等之送風裝置。循環送風路徑9 • 係由從水槽3到送風風扇12之間的循環空氣導入管路13、及 從迗風風扇12到水槽3之間的乾燥空氣送風管路14所構 1〇成。而S，乾燥空氣送風管路14中接近形成於水槽3底面之 V風口 18的上方連接有後述之霧化單元3〇。 乾爍空氣运風管路14在洗衣乾衣機殼體2内之後方（水 槽3之背面側）的空間中，係從上游側依序由下部管路U、 可撓管16及上部管路17構成。連通口…開口於上部管路η 15之下游端下方’該連通口 17a係連接於設於水槽3背面之導 _ 風口 18。上部管路17在其下方部分係傾斜立起靠著殼體2中 央。又，上部管路17中間係彎曲成大略90。，且在其上方部 分係朝水槽3之導風口 18向下方傾斜。可撓㈣係使用具有 、 可撓性之管材構成，可防止下部管路15隨旋轉滾筒4之旋轉 ‘ 2G《啟動、停止的振動傳達至送風風扇!2側。由蒸發器_ 濕、並由凝結器11加熱之乾燥空氣會經由乾燥空氣送風管 ^14’而由該導風口 18送人水槽3及位於其内部之旋轉滾筒 藉由高速旋轉驅動送風風扇U，可在循環送風路經9 13 200840904 產生空氣流，並結容有洗祕之旋轉㈣怕之高渴空氣 會通過設於周壁4a之透孔4e，排氣至由水槽3往送風風扇η 側之循環空氣導人管路13。然後，循環送風路徑9之空氣合 藉由位於送風風_上游之蒸發以映水分絲、除濕， 並藉由錢結nil之熱交換進行加熱，成為高溫之乾燥空 氣0The mist generated by the atomization unit differs in characteristics such as floatation or surface tension (wettability) due to its particle size. In other words, the ultrafine mist having a particle diameter of less than 10/zm is also called a dry mist. Since it is extremely fine, it has a high surface tension and a high floatation property, but has a low wettability when adhered to a material. The fine mist of 10 to 50 μm after the pellet 5 is also called wet mist, and since the particle diameter is relatively large compared with the dry mist described above, it has a characteristic that the surface tension is weak and the wettability at the time of adhering to the object is high. A coarser mist having a particle size of more than 50# m has a hydrophilic nature. Among these mists, the wet mist which is excellent in wettability adheres to the laundry of the laundry, and the wet matter is efficiently wetted, and the wrinkles of the laundry such as the drying process can be reduced, so that a large amount of the wet mist is contained. It is important that the mist is filled in the rotating drum groove to reduce the wrinkles such as clothes. Moreover, when the mist generated in the atomization unit is introduced into the clothes placement place, the wall of the introduction pipe can be exhausted without the collision of the month b, that is, the pipe wall 5 or the like is not condensed, and It is also important to efficiently deliver a large amount of mist to the place where the clothes are placed. This view is lacking in a washer-dryer or a clothes dryer disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei. No. Hei. No. 2, No. 2 (9) No. 6-8585. 20 Z This may not be able to reduce the amount of clothing and other items efficiently, and it is not dry and deodorized. Directly touching the spray device 47 and in the washing machine 4 disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 3_3, the air device 44 is disposed opposite to the spray device 47. The upstream side 'and the warm air generated by the air supply MM. Therefore, although a part of the mist emitted by the spray device 47 200840904 can still reach the clothes in the inner tank 43, most of the others collide with the warm air circulation. Most of the inner wall surface 46a of the path 46 reaches the inner groove 43 after the inner wall surface 46a is condensed into water droplets and is lost. In the washing and drying machine 4, the negative 5 ion 'electrostatic electricity removal effect' can be generated by the crushing effect when the mist hits the inner wall surface 46a, but there is a mist sprayed by the nozzle mist device, most of which is The clothes that disappeared on the way and could not reach the inner groove 43 wet the clothes, and it is difficult to effectively reduce the problem of wrinkles. Further, in the clothes dryer 50 disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei. No. 158585, the electrolytic mist generator 56 is disposed in the machine room 52 provided in the lower portion of the drying chamber 1〇51. Further, the electrolytic mist generated from the electrolytic mist generator % can be supplied to the downstream side of the heater 54, and the electrolytic mist is heated by mixing with the hot air from the heater 54, and then discharged upward from the tube chamber %. Here, the electrolytic mist is discharged by a discharge portion (a bottom plate of the drying chamber 51) in which a plurality of slits or holes are formed, and is supplied to the drying chamber 15 51. In the dryer 50 of such a configuration, a plurality of slits or holes are formed in the discharge portion, but most of the mist collides with the bottom surface of the bottom plate where no slit or hole is formed, and the knot becomes a water droplet D. , dryer, $ 〇, most of the mist generated from the electrolytic mist generator 56 will disappear in the middle, can not reach the clothes that are dried to 51, so there is no way to wet the clothes, 20 even wrinkles can not be reduced problem. Further, since the water droplets are formed in this way, the hot air is supplied to the tube chamber 58 having a high humidity, so that the hot air having a high humidity is also introduced into the drying chamber 51, and even if a slight deodorizing effect can be expected, the clothes cannot be sufficiently dried. 8 200840904 t 明明] Summary of the Invention 10 15 20 - The drum type washer-dryer of the present invention is provided with a rotating roller y in the water tank.

該加熱後之乾燥空氣會送出至由送風風則2通往水槽 3之乾燥空氣送風管路14,再經由設於水槽3之導風口咖 送入水槽3内。送人水槽3内之高溫乾燥空氣可通過設於旋 1〇轉滾筒4之底壁4b之底面開口 4d及透孔4c導入旋轉滚筒4 内’流通於衣物等洗務物之間，使其乾燥並同時變成濕潤 之空氣，然後從設於周壁4a之透孔4C跑至水槽3，再次往循 環空氣導入管路13導入。藉由在如此之循環送風路經9(循 環空氣導入管路13、乾燥空氣送風管路14)之空氣循環，執 15 行乾燥步驟。 在此，本發明之實施形態之滾筒式洗衣乾衣機1中，設 有後述之霧化單元30、及以可使旋轉滾筒4旋轉並同時將乾 燥後之衣物的皺折拉平減少為目的之「皺折拉平行程」。在 該「級折拉平行程」中，係使蒸發器1〇及凝結器^停止， 2〇亚使旋轉滾筒4及送風風扇12之旋轉速度較一般乾燥步驟 中更低之速度旋轉。然後啟動霧化單元30，使由細微液滴 構成之霧氣20產生，該霧氣20落入流通於乾燥空氣送風管 路丨4之乾燥空氣流。結果，細微之濕霧氣及乾霧氣會送入 水槽3内之旋轉滾筒4。 14 200840904 如此，可執行皺折減少效果的步驟，使霧氣20充滿旋 轉滾筒4内之各個角落，有效地濕潤衣物表面，減少處於乾 燥狀態之衣物的皺折。然後再使霧化單元30停止，使旋轉 滾筒4及送風風扇12之旋轉速度提高至與通常之乾燥步驟 5相同的速度，並使蒸發器10及凝結器11動作，進行通常之 乾燥運轉使衣物乾燥，並同時拉平該衣物之皺折。又，在 上述之「皺折拉平行程」中，未必要使旋轉滾筒4旋轉。 又，上述之「皺折拉平行程」中，達成如上述之利用 霧氣20來減少皺折，且進而藉由以下原理，亦可期待有除 1〇臭效果。通常，臭味係臭味成分以分子附著於衣物表面， 如香煙、燒肉的臭味等即是如此，藉由霧氣2〇碰撞於該臭 味分子，可將臭味分子融入水之分子本身，使之自衣物脫 離。然後，在此種霧氣處理後進行乾燥運轉，藉由高溫低 濕之空氣使溶解有臭味成分之水蒸發，防止臭味分子再度 15 附著於衣物，而可除臭。 接著，根據第5圖、第6圖及前揭圖式，詳細地說明本 發明之霧化單元3G及「皺折拉平行程」之構成。第5圖係用 以說明本發明之實施型態之滾筒式洗衣乾衣機之霧化單元 之構造之側視截面圖。第6圖係用以說明同一滾筒式洗衣乾 2〇衣機之霧化單元之構造之後視截面圖。 務化單元30係配置於接近導風口 μ之上方位置，包人 有：貯水容器31，係用以貯存作為霧氣產生源之水21者； 超曰波振動^§ 32，係用以對貯存於貯水容器Μ之水Μ施加 超音波振動者；注水裝置33，係用以將水21注入貯水容器 15 200840904 31者；水溫感測器35，係用以測定貯水容器31内之水溫者。 而且，霧化單元30之貯水容器31係配置於鄰接於水槽3之背 面之導風口 18之上方位置，並且經由導風口 18之上方的連 接口 31e，而直接連接於乾燥空氣送風管路14(循環送風路 、 5 徑9)之上部管路17。 _ 貯水容器31係鄰接固定於水槽3之背面外侧。又，貯水 容器31與水槽3對向之前方側的側壁31b係沿水槽3背面相 φ 對錯直方向傾斜地形成。貯水容器31之後方侧之侧壁31b則 係者洗衣乾衣機殼體2之背面面板形成於錯直方向，以寬 10 幅地形成貯水容器31之底壁31a侧。 該貯水容器31貯存有作為霧氣產生源之水21。貯水容 器31的上部設有用以從注水裝置33注入水21之注水口 31c。而且，與上部管路π對向之側的側壁3lb設有開口堰 31d。又，導風口 18之上方部分連接於上部管路17之處設有 15 連接口 31e。 • 從注水口 31c注入貯水容器31内之水21可從開口堰3ld 透過連接口 31e溢流至導風口 18上方之上部管路17。如此， 可藉由簡易構成將貯水容器31内之水21保持在一定水位。 此外，從該開口堰31d溢流出之水21，會透過連接口 2〇 31e、上部管路π及導風口 18送至水槽3，再經由排水管路8 排出至滾筒式洗衣乾衣機1外。 超音波振動器32係配置成將用以·產生超音波振動之壓 電元件之振動面32a密接於貯水容器31之底壁31a。然後， 藉由使壓電元件作動，可朝超音波發送方向（垂直於振動面 16 200840904 32a之方向）32b傳送超音波振動，在貯水容器31内形成液柱 22。 此外，如第6圖所示，超音波振動器32係安裝成振動面 32a向連接口 31e之相反側傾斜，故液柱22係朝向連接口 31e 5 之相反側之側壁31 b的内面方向形成。如箭頭所示，隨著該 液柱22之形成，貯水容器31内會產生沿液柱22上升，且沿 侧壁31b内面下降及上升之水21及空氣的對流。與此同時， 透過該液柱22傳達之超音波振動可使水21之表面產生些微 振動’藉此減弱液柱22前端附近的表面張力，使與液柱22 10之些微振動相應之細微液滴之霧氣（霧)20產生。該霧氣20 係被水21之對流動推出而向超音波發送方向32b排出。然後 霧氣20會依水21及空氣的對流沿侧壁3 ib内面下降及上 升，之後沿著貯存之水21之表面、及側壁31b内面透過連接 .口 31e排出至導風口 18上方之上部管路17。排出至上部管路 15 17之霧氣20會從就在下方之導風口 18送入水槽3，再通過旋 轉滾筒4之底面開口4d導入旋轉滾筒4内。 又，本發明之實施型態中，將霧氣20導入旋轉滾筒4 内時，係以50〇rpm左右之旋轉速度使送風風扇12旋轉。在 此時之循裱送風路徑9内之空氣流之送風量為〇 〇7瓜3/ 20分，相對於通常之乾燥步驟中之定格運轉時（使送風風扇 12以旋轉速度580〇rpm旋轉，將2 2m3//分之風量的乾燥空 氣达入乾燦空氣送風管路14)，旋轉風扇之旋轉速度約為工 /10左右送風畺相當於左右。藉由以如此弱之風量 使空氣流通於乾燥空氣送風管路14，將霧氣2〇自導風口以 17 200840904 壓入旋轉滾筒4内之風壓產生作用，可適當地導入於旋轉滾 同4内又’浮遊性高之乾霧氣也可與濕霧氣同時由導風口 18$入至疑轉滾筒4内。結果，衣物的溫度接近於常溫，且 霧氣20之溫度高時，水分會凝結於衣物表面，可更有效率 5 地使衣物濕潤。 為了彳于到此種效果之循環送風路徑9内之空氣流的送 風量纽05mV分〜!·〇〇々分為讁當。當送風量小於The heated dry air is sent to the dry air supply line 14 which is led to the water tank 3 by the air supply plenum 2, and then sent to the water tank 3 via the air vents provided in the water tank 3. The high-temperature dry air in the water supply tank 3 can be introduced into the rotary drum 4 through the bottom surface opening 4d and the through hole 4c provided in the bottom wall 4b of the rotary drum 4, and is circulated between the laundry such as clothes and dried. At the same time, it becomes humid air, and then runs from the through hole 4C provided in the peripheral wall 4a to the water tank 3, and is introduced again into the circulating air introduction line 13. The drying step is carried out by circulating air in such a circulation air passage 9 (circulating air introduction line 13, dry air supply line 14). Here, the drum-type washer-dryer 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is provided with an atomizing unit 30, which will be described later, and a purpose of reducing the wrinkles of the laundry after the rotating drum 4 is rotated. "Wrinkle and flatten the stroke". In the "level folding stroke", the evaporator 1 and the condenser are stopped, and the rotation speed of the rotary drum 4 and the blower fan 12 is rotated at a lower speed than in the normal drying step. Then, the atomizing unit 30 is activated to generate a mist 20 composed of fine droplets which fall into the dry air flow flowing through the dry air supply duct 4. As a result, fine wet mist and dry mist are sent to the rotary drum 4 in the water tank 3. 14 200840904 In this way, the step of reducing the wrinkle reduction effect can be performed so that the mist 20 fills the corners of the rotary drum 4, effectively moisturizing the surface of the laundry, and reducing the wrinkles of the laundry in a dry state. Then, the atomization unit 30 is stopped, the rotation speed of the rotary drum 4 and the blower fan 12 is increased to the same speed as the normal drying step 5, and the evaporator 10 and the condenser 11 are operated to perform normal drying operation. Dry and flatten the wrinkles of the garment at the same time. Further, in the above-mentioned "wrinkle flattening stroke", it is not necessary to rotate the rotary drum 4. Further, in the above-mentioned "wrinkle flattening stroke", the use of the mist 20 as described above is achieved to reduce wrinkles, and further, the following principle can be expected. Usually, the odor-like odor component is attached to the surface of the clothes by molecules, such as the odor of cigarettes and roast meat, and the odor molecules are integrated into the molecules of the water by the mist 2 〇 colliding with the odor molecules. To make it separate from the clothes. Then, after the mist treatment, the drying operation is performed, and the water in which the odorous component is dissolved is evaporated by the high-temperature and low-humidity air to prevent the odor molecules from adhering to the laundry again, thereby deodorizing. Next, the configuration of the atomizing unit 3G and the "wrinkle flattening stroke" of the present invention will be described in detail based on Fig. 5, Fig. 6, and the front drawing. Fig. 5 is a side sectional view showing the construction of an atomizing unit of a drum-type washer-dryer according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the construction of an atomizing unit of the same drum type washer-dryer. The chemical unit 30 is disposed at a position close to the air guiding port μ, and includes: a water storage container 31 for storing water 21 as a mist generating source; and a super-wave vibration ^§ 32 for storing the The water immersion device is applied with ultrasonic vibration; the water injection device 33 is for injecting the water 21 into the water storage container 15 200840904 31; and the water temperature sensor 35 is for measuring the water temperature in the water storage container 31. Further, the water storage container 31 of the atomizing unit 30 is disposed at a position above the air guiding port 18 adjacent to the back surface of the water tank 3, and is directly connected to the dry air blowing duct 14 via the connecting port 31e above the air guiding port 18. Circulating air supply path, 5 diameter 9) upper line 17. The water storage container 31 is fixed to the outside of the back surface of the water tank 3 in abutment. Further, the water storage container 31 and the side wall 31b on the front side of the water tank 3 are formed to be inclined in the direction of the straight line along the back surface φ of the water tank 3. The side wall 31b on the rear side of the water storage container 31 is formed in the wrong direction of the back panel of the washer-dryer casing 2, and the bottom wall 31a side of the water storage container 31 is formed in a width of ten. The water storage container 31 stores water 21 as a mist generating source. The upper portion of the water storage container 31 is provided with a water injection port 31c for injecting water 21 from the water injection device 33. Further, an opening 堰 31d is provided in the side wall 31b on the side opposite to the upper pipe π. Further, a portion connecting the upper portion of the air guiding port 18 to the upper duct 17 is provided with a connecting port 31e. • The water 21 injected into the water storage tank 31 from the water injection port 31c can overflow from the opening 堰3ld through the connection port 31e to the upper pipe 17 above the air guiding port 18. Thus, the water 21 in the water storage container 31 can be maintained at a constant water level by a simple configuration. In addition, the water 21 overflowing from the opening 31d is sent to the water tank 3 through the connection port 2〇31e, the upper pipe π and the air guiding port 18, and is discharged to the drum type washing and drying machine 1 via the drain line 8. . The ultrasonic vibrator 32 is disposed such that the vibrating surface 32a of the piezoelectric element for generating ultrasonic vibration is in close contact with the bottom wall 31a of the water storage container 31. Then, by actuating the piezoelectric element, ultrasonic vibration can be transmitted in the ultrasonic transmission direction (perpendicular to the vibration surface 16 200840904 32a) 32b, and the liquid column 22 is formed in the water storage container 31. Further, as shown in Fig. 6, the ultrasonic vibrator 32 is mounted such that the vibrating surface 32a is inclined toward the opposite side of the connecting port 31e, so that the liquid column 22 is formed toward the inner surface of the side wall 31b on the opposite side of the connecting port 31e5. . As indicated by the arrow, as the liquid column 22 is formed, convection of the water 21 and the air which rises along the liquid column 22 and descends and rises along the inner surface of the side wall 31b occurs in the water storage container 31. At the same time, the ultrasonic vibration transmitted through the liquid column 22 causes some vibration of the surface of the water 21, thereby weakening the surface tension near the front end of the liquid column 22, and making fine droplets corresponding to the microvibrations of the liquid column 2210. The mist (fog) 20 is generated. The mist 20 is pushed out by the pair of water 21 and discharged to the ultrasonic wave transmitting direction 32b. Then, the mist 20 descends and rises along the inner surface of the side wall 3 ib according to the convection of the water 21 and the air, and then flows along the surface of the stored water 21 and the inner surface of the side wall 31b through the connection port 31e to the upper portion above the air guiding port 18. 17. The mist 20 discharged to the upper line 15 17 is sent to the water tank 3 from the lower air guiding port 18, and then introduced into the rotating drum 4 through the bottom opening 4d of the rotating drum 4. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the mist 20 is introduced into the rotary drum 4, the blower fan 12 is rotated at a rotation speed of about 50 rpm. At this time, the air flow rate of the air flow in the circulation air path 9 is 3/20 minutes, which is relative to the normal operation in the drying step (the air blowing fan 12 is rotated at a rotation speed of 580 rpm, The dry air of 2 2 m3//min is introduced into the dry air supply air line 14), and the rotation speed of the rotary fan is about /10 or so. By circulating the air to the dry air supply line 14 with such a weak air volume, the mist 2 is forced into the rotary drum 4 by the wind pressure from the air guide port 17 200840904, and can be appropriately introduced into the rotary roll 4 Moreover, the dry mist with high floating property can also enter the suspected rotating drum 4 from the air guiding port 18$ at the same time as the wet mist. As a result, the temperature of the laundry is close to the normal temperature, and when the temperature of the mist 20 is high, the moisture condenses on the surface of the laundry, and the laundry can be wetted more efficiently. In order to circumvent the air flow in the circulating air supply path 9 to such an effect, the air flow amount is 05 mV. When the air supply volume is less than

Between the rollers 4. Further, the amount of the inside of the rotating drum 4 introduced into the dry gas is reduced, and the above effect cannot be sufficiently obtained. ^The air supply volume of the air flow in the circulating air supply path 9 exceeds 1.00m / knives, and the wet mist will collide with the wall of the dry air supply line μ (the upper 15 official roads 17), so that the wet mist exists. The proportion is reduced. Further, the dry mist does not adhere to the clothes, but passes through the inside of the rotating drum 4. ^ , ^^丨7 τ τ, as shown in the figure, a rectifying fin 36 as a rectifying means is provided in the vicinity of the upper portion 20 of the water storage container 31 connected to the connecting port 31e of the dry air blowing duct 14. The rectifying fins 36 are composed of a member which is cut at the position where the drying line of the connecting line 31eit is closed, and the water cross-cuts the (four) gas Wei tube (4). > = In the "wrinkle flattening stroke", when the blower fan is driven to rotate, a flow of money is generated in the dry air supply duct 14. When the rectifying fins 36 are not provided, the air flowing in the air blowing duct 14 is difficult to be 18 200840904. The self-connecting port 31 enters the inside of the atomizing unit 3Q (storage container 3i), but by providing the rectifying fins 36, such as a dotted arrow As shown, a portion of the air will diverge by passing over the upper portion of the rectifying fins 36. Then, the air is guided into the atomizing unit (4) from the upper portion of the connecting port 31e and then returned to the dry air blowing line 14 by the connecting port 31e by 5 % ' in the atomizing unit 3'. The mist 20 generated by the atomizing unit 30 flows into the dry air blowing duct 14 along the flow of the above air, and falls into the air guiding port 18 by the flow of the self weight and the air, and is introduced into the water tank 3 to rotate the drum 4 Inside. Further, as described above, since the liquid column 22 is formed obliquely to the inner surface of the side wall of the side wall 10 on the opposite side of the connection port 31e, the water 21 can be prevented from splashing directly into the upper line 17 through the connection port 31e due to the liquid column 22, The water 21 in the water storage container 31 is prevented from being unnecessarily reduced. The water injection device 33 is for replenishing the water storage container 31 with the water 21 which is generated by the mist gas. The water supply port provided below the water injection device 33 and the water injection port of the water storage container 31 are connected by a water injection hose 34, and an on-off valve (not shown) is provided therebetween. When the atomizing unit 30 is activated, the water injection device 33 opens the switching valve. Then, the water 21 is supplied from the water supply port 33a of the water injection device 33 through the water injection hose 34 at a sufficient predetermined time during which the water can be filled in the water storage container 31. The excess water 21 overflows from the opening 31d of the side wall 31b, so that the water 21 in the 2's water storage container 31 can be maintained at a certain water level. The water injection operation in the initial stage of the startup is to supplement the water 21 in the water storage container 31 which is reduced by evaporation or the like during the pause of the water injection device 33, and the atomization unit 30 is operated while maintaining a constant water level. The water temperature sensor 35 is configured by using a thermistor or the like to measure the water temperature in the bedding water unit 31 of 2008 2008904. When the water temperature measured by the water temperature sensor % exceeds the predetermined temperature (set at the upper limit temperature of the ultrasonic vibrator 32 or a temperature lower than the lower limit), the water supply unit 33 supplies the water 21, so that The water temperature is lowered so that the temperature of the water in the water storage container 31 does not exceed the predetermined 5 temperature described above.
由霧化單元3 0產生之霧氣2 〇會因其粒徑而在浮游性或 表面張力（潤濕性）等特性上有所不同。即，粒徑小於1〇#m 之超微細霧氣也稱為乾霧氣，由於極微細，因此具有表面 張力高，浮遊性高，但附著於物時之潤濕性低之特徵。粒 徑l〇//m〜50//m之微細霧氣也稱為濕霧氣，由於相較於上 述之乾霧氣，粒徑相對較大，因此具有表面張力弱，附著 於物時之濡濕性高之特徵。粒徑超過刈以瓜之較粗大的霧氣 則具有親水之性質。 而且，在霧化單元30產生之霧氣20在移動到導風口 18 15 之間，會與貯水容器31之側壁31b或上部管路17之管壁碰 撞’或者互相凝集漸而粗大霧氣會脫落分離，微細之濕霧 氣會漸漸增加其存在比率。然後，濕霧氣會成為主體而導 入於旋轉滾筒4内。在此，所謂濕霧氣為主體之狀態之霧氣 20係濕霧氣在體積存在率中超過全體之50%之狀態。其意 20 味著在使用雷射散射法所測定之霧氣20之粒度分布中，平 均粒徑（中央徑D% )在10 /z m〜50 // m之範圍内之狀態。 霧氣20移動到導風口18之間的路徑長，且其路徑途中 存在有彎曲部時，連微細之濕霧氣也會凝集而脫落分離。 因此，霧氣20中之濕霧氣之存在比率減少，成為以乾霧氣 20 200840904 為主體之霧氣20，故較為不佳。 然而根據上述之構成，由霧化單元3〇產生之霧氣2〇會 由位於導風口 18之上方之霧化單元3〇 (貯水容器31)與乾 $燥空氣送風管路Μ (上部管路17)之連接口 31e送入乾燥空 、 5氣送風管路14。而且霧氣20會因自體重量而落下，由導風 . 成為以濕務氣為主體之狀態而落入水槽3，進而導入至 方疋轉滾筒4内。而且，送風風扇12配置於洗衣乾衣機殼體2 Φ 内之下位位置，會由該送風風扇12將乾燥空氣送入至乾燥 工氣送風官路14，因此在導入霧氣2〇之霧化單元3〇之連接 口 3le中，不會受到來自送風風扇12之風壓（動壓）的影響， 務氣20會導入至乾燥空氣流中。 如此，由於構成為由霧化單元3〇至導風口 18之移動路 徑短，而且會因為自體重量而落下，因此可抑制在移動路 毡途中之濕霧氣之凝集。因此，可成為以潤濕性優異之粒 15徑為1〇//m〜50#mi濕霧氣為主體之狀態，使霧氣20導入 • 《滿於旋轉滾筒4内，並可有效地濕潤衣物表面。又，藉由 令表面有效地被潤濕之狀態下之衣物乾燥，可有效地減少 衣物產生之皺折。 • 又’在「皺折拉平行程」中，未必使旋轉滾筒4旋轉也 20可達到降低衣物之皺折效果，但在本發明之實施形態中， 如上所述’係使旋轉滾筒4旋轉。對於旋轉滾筒4内之衣類 係處於第服之乾無狀態，藉由超音波振動器之振動，貯 水容器31内之水的溫度會上昇。因此，產生之霧氣2〇會變 成高溫。 21 200840904 因此，由於乾霧氣也可成為高溫狀態而導入至旋轉滾 筒4内，因此不僅是濕霧氣，乾霧氣也可容易地凝結而結= 於處於較霧氣溫度低之溫度之衣物表面及旋轉滾筒4之周 壁4a等。此時藉由使旋轉滾筒4旋轉驅動，衣類會混合，包 5 含乾務氣之霧氣20不會受衣物妨礙而可導入至旋轉穿w * 内，並可更有效率地潤濕衣物全體。 本發明之實施形態中，係將霧氣20由連接口 31e送入乾 燥空氣送風管路14，使之藉由自體重量而落下，並順著氣 流而由導風口 18導入至水槽3、進而導入至旋轉滾筒4内。 10然後在務氣導入時（霧化單元啟動時），使旋轉滾筒4以混 合衣物之45rpm左右之旋轉速度靜靜地旋轉。如此，藉由使 旋轉滾筒4靜靜地旋轉，可在此狀態下，使容易滯留於旋轉 滾筒4内之底部附近之濕霧氣充滿旋轉滾筒4内之角落，並 可藉由潤濕性高之濕霧氣有效地潤濕旋轉滾筒4内之衣 15物。然後藉由將此種狀態之衣物乾燥，可有效地減少衣物 產生皺折。 由於使此種濕霧氣充滿旋轉滾筒4内之角落，因此使旋 轉滾同4靜靜旋轉時之旋轉速度最好是15rpm〜80rpm。當該 旋轉速度小於15rpm時，由導風口導入之霧氣20之一部份會 2〇 滯留於旋轉滾筒4之底部附近，當旋轉速度超過8〇rpm，霧 氣20之一部份可藉由離心力被推壓到旋轉滾筒4之侧壁，與 側壁等碰撞，使濕霧氣之存在比率減少。 (上述本發明之實施形態之變形例） 在上述本發明之實施形態中，係構成為於貯水容器31 22 200840904 之側壁31b設有開口堰31d ’並在使霧化單元30啟動時，可 自動進行由注水裝置33將水21注入至貯水容器31，由開口 堰31 d溢流出之動作。可是’第7圖係用以說明本發明之實 施形態中之變形例之滾筒式洗衣乾衣機之霧化單元之構造 5 之側視截面圖，如圖所示，除了該開口堰31d之外，亦可將 壓力檢測式等水位感測器37設置於貯水容器31之底壁3ia 或其周邊部。然而’只要構成為由水位感測器37所測定之 水位由貯水容器31之底壁31a未達預定水位（如1〇mm)時， 水21由注水裝置33注入至貯水容器31即可。結果，使霧化 10單元30啟動時，藉由不進行自動由注水裝置33注水至貯水 容器31之動作，而僅於水位過低時執行注水動作，可使貯 水容器31内之水位保持在預定水位以上，防止超音波振動 器32容易劣化。 又，上述本發明之實施形態中，係以使用水21作為霧 化單元30内之霧氣發生源為例來說明，但亦可因應於用途 而使用Ag離子電解液、洗劑液、消臭液、除菌液等，可達 至】對應於各種液劑（霧氣發生源）之效果。 I陶式簡單說明】 20 弟1圖係用以說明本發明之實施形態之滾筒式洗衣乾 衣機之構造的側視截面圖。 、第2圖係從殼體背面侧看過去的立體圖，用以說明同一 滾筒式洗衣乾衣機之循環送風路徑及霧化單元之配置。 第3圖係從殼體背面侧看過去之擷取一部分的截面 23 200840904 圖，用以說明同一滾筒式洗衣乾衣機之循環送風路徑及霧 化單元的構造。 第4圖係用以說明同一滾筒式洗衣乾衣機之霧化單元 與水槽之連接構造的側視截面圖。 5 第5圖係用以說明同一滾筒式洗衣乾衣機之霧化單元 之構造的側視截面圖。 第6圖係用以說明同一滾筒式洗衣乾衣機之霧化單元 之構造的後視截面圖。 第7圖係用以說明本發明之變形例之滾筒式洗衣乾衣 10 機之霧化單元之構造的側視截面圖。 第8圖係用以說明設有習知霧化單元之洗衣乾衣機之 構造的截面圖。 第9圖係用以說明同一霧化單元之構造的截面圖。 15 【主要元件符號說明】 1...滾筒式洗衣乾衣機 4e…攪拌突起 2…殼體 5···門 3…水槽 6·.·可撓管 4…旋轉滾筒 7…供水管路 4a...周壁 8...排水管路 4b...底壁 9...循環送風库 4c."透孔 10…蒸發器 4d...底面開口 11···凝結器 24 200840904 12 …扇 33…注水裝置 13...循環空氣導入管路 34…注水軟管 14…乾燥空氣送風管路 35…水溫感測器 15...下部管路 36…整流翼片 16···可撓管 37...水位感測器 17…上部管路 40…洗衣乾衣機 17a...連通口 41."殼體 18···導風口 42…外槽 20…霧氣 43…内槽 21···水 44…送風裝置 22…液注 45...加熱裝置 30…霧化單元 46…暖顺環路徑 31…貯水容器 47··.喷霧裝置 3 la...底壁 47a···入水口 31b...侧壁 47b…喷霧口 31c· · ·〉主 口 48…暖風供給口 31d...開口堰 50…乾衣機 31e."連接口 51···乾燥室 32...超音波振動器 52…機械室 32a…振動面 53...HMM 32b...超音波發送方向 54.··加熱器 25 200840904 58…管室 55.. .空氣泵 56…電解霧氣產生器 57.. .控制部The mist 2 产生 generated by the atomizing unit 30 differs in characteristics such as floatation or surface tension (wettability) due to its particle size. In other words, the ultrafine mist having a particle diameter of less than 1 〇 #m is also called a dry mist. Since it is extremely fine, it has a high surface tension and a high floatation property, but has a low wettability when adhered to a material. The fine mist having a particle diameter of l〇//m to 50//m is also called wet mist, and since the particle diameter is relatively large compared to the dry mist described above, the surface tension is weak, and the wettability when attached to the object is high. Characteristics. The larger the particle size than the coarser mist of the melon is hydrophilic. Moreover, the mist 20 generated in the atomizing unit 30 moves between the air guiding port 18 15 and collides with the side wall 31 b of the water storage container 31 or the pipe wall of the upper pipe 17 or aggregates with each other gradually and coarse mist will fall off and separate. The fine wet mist will gradually increase its ratio of existence. Then, the wet mist becomes a main body and is introduced into the rotary drum 4. Here, the mist 20 in which the wet mist is in the main state is in a state in which the wet mist exceeds 50% of the total volume. The meaning is that the average particle diameter (central diameter D%) is in the range of 10 /z m to 50 // m in the particle size distribution of the mist 20 measured by the laser scattering method. When the mist 20 moves to a long path between the air guiding ports 18, and a curved portion exists in the middle of the path, even a fine wet mist is aggregated and separated. Therefore, the existence ratio of the wet mist in the mist 20 is reduced, and the mist 20 which is mainly composed of the dry mist 20 200840904 is not preferable. However, according to the above configuration, the mist 2 〇 generated by the atomizing unit 3 〇 is composed of the atomizing unit 3 (the water storage container 31) located above the air guiding port 18 and the dry air supply line Μ (the upper line 17) The connection port 31e is sent to the dry air/5 air supply line 14. Further, the mist 20 is dropped by the weight of the body, and is guided by the wind. The wet gas is mainly in the state of the wet gas and falls into the water tank 3, and is introduced into the square rotating drum 4. Moreover, the blower fan 12 is disposed at a lower position in the washer dryer housing 2 Φ, and the blower fan 12 sends dry air to the dry gas supply air supply passage 14, so that the atomization unit is introduced into the mist 2 The connection port 3le of the 3〇 is not affected by the wind pressure (dynamic pressure) from the blower fan 12, and the service gas 20 is introduced into the dry air flow. In this manner, since the moving path from the atomizing unit 3 to the air guiding port 18 is short and the weight is dropped due to the weight of the body, the agglutination of the wet mist in the middle of moving the road felt can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to introduce the mist 20 into the state in which the wetness of the grain 15 having an excellent wettability of 1 〇//m to 50 #mi is mainly applied to the inside of the rotary drum 4, and the surface of the laundry can be effectively wetted. . Further, by drying the laundry in a state where the surface is effectively wetted, wrinkles caused by the laundry can be effectively reduced. Further, in the "wrinkle flattening stroke", the wrinkle effect of the laundry is not necessarily caused by the rotation of the rotary drum 4, but in the embodiment of the present invention, the rotary drum 4 is rotated as described above. The clothes in the rotary drum 4 are in a dry state, and the temperature of the water in the water storage container 31 rises by the vibration of the ultrasonic vibrator. Therefore, the generated mist 2 turns into a high temperature. 21 200840904 Therefore, since the dry mist can be introduced into the rotary drum 4 in a high temperature state, not only the wet mist but also the dry mist can be easily condensed and the knot is formed on the surface of the laundry and the rotary drum at a temperature lower than the temperature of the mist. 4 of the wall 4a and so on. At this time, by rotating the rotary drum 4, the clothes are mixed, and the mist 20 containing the dry gas can be introduced into the rotary wear without being obstructed by the clothes, and the entire clothes can be more efficiently wetted. In the embodiment of the present invention, the mist 20 is sent from the connection port 31e to the dry air supply line 14, and is dropped by the weight of the body, and is introduced into the water tank 3 through the air guiding port 18 along the air flow, and then introduced. It is inside the rotary drum 4. Then, at the time of the introduction of the gas (when the atomization unit is started), the rotary drum 4 is quietly rotated at a rotation speed of about 45 rpm of the mixed laundry. Thus, by rotating the rotary drum 4 quietly, in this state, the wet mist which is likely to remain in the vicinity of the bottom of the rotary drum 4 can be filled in the corners of the rotary drum 4, and the wettability can be high. The wet mist effectively wets the clothes 15 in the rotary drum 4. Then, by drying the laundry in this state, wrinkles of the laundry can be effectively reduced. Since such a wet mist is filled in the corners of the rotary drum 4, the rotation speed at the time of the rotary rotation of the rotary drum 4 is preferably 15 rpm to 80 rpm. When the rotation speed is less than 15 rpm, a part of the mist 20 introduced by the air guiding port is retained in the vicinity of the bottom of the rotating drum 4, and when the rotating speed exceeds 8 rpm, one part of the mist 20 can be centrifugally Pushing against the side wall of the rotary drum 4 collides with the side wall or the like to reduce the existence ratio of the wet mist. (Modification of the embodiment of the present invention) In the embodiment of the present invention, the side wall 31b of the water storage container 31 22 200840904 is provided with an opening 31d' and can be automatically activated when the atomizing unit 30 is activated. The operation of injecting the water 21 into the water storage container 31 by the water injection device 33 and overflowing from the opening port 31 d is performed. However, Fig. 7 is a side sectional view showing the configuration 5 of the atomizing unit of the drum-type washer-dryer according to the modification of the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the figure, except for the opening 31d. A water level sensor 37 such as a pressure detecting type may be disposed on the bottom wall 3ia of the water storage container 31 or a peripheral portion thereof. However, as long as the water level measured by the water level sensor 37 is not reached by the predetermined water level (e.g., 1 mm) from the bottom wall 31a of the water storage container 31, the water 21 may be injected into the water storage container 31 by the water injection device 33. As a result, when the atomization 10 unit 30 is started, the water injection operation is performed only when the water level is too low, and the water level in the water storage container 31 can be kept at a predetermined time by not performing the automatic water injection device 33 to inject the water into the water storage container 31. Above the water level, the ultrasonic vibrator 32 is prevented from being easily deteriorated. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the water 21 is used as the mist generating source in the atomizing unit 30 as an example. However, the Ag ion electrolyte, the lotion liquid, and the deodorizing liquid may be used depending on the application. , the sterilization solution, etc., up to the effect of various liquid agents (fog generating sources).
