Description

200842223 IX. INSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an atomizing element and a drum type washing and drying machine having the same, and the drum type washing and drying machine can supply mist to the dried clothes. Wait for washing to reduce wrinkles caused by clothing and the like. [Previous 3 invention background

In the past, the drying step was such that the rotary drum containing laundry or the like was rotated at a high speed. In the drying process of the 5th sea, the laundry is simultaneously dried in a state in which it is attached to the inner side of the rotary drum, so that the clothes and the like after drying are not wrinkled. When the clothes such as the drying step are hung in the clothes and the like, it is necessary to spend time to flatten the wrinkles, and then it is necessary to spend the time of ironing with an iron. Recently, a washing and drying machine has been developed, which is equipped with an atomizing element that generates a mist composed of droplets of |Microfilm, and introduces mist into a rotating drum that has been placed in clothes, etc., to reduce clothing. Wait for the static electricity or scales produced in the drying step. Such an example is known as the structure of the Japanese Patent Publication No. 2〇〇3_311〇67. Figure 8A is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of a washer-dryer equipped with a conventional atomizing element, as shown in the drawing, the washing and drying machine 40 disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2003-311067 The outer groove 42 that is elastically supported inside the casing 41 and the inner groove 43 that is rotatably disposed in the outer groove 42 and that can accommodate the laundry. In addition, the 'drying and drying machine 40 is provided with a heating air supply to the inner tank 43 5 200842223 air venting (circulating air blower) 44; can be added _ by the delivery of the material to supply the wind * gas heating device (heating And a heat exchanger that has a heat exchanger that allows the air supply to be circulated by the warm air circulation path 46. The spray device 47 is provided on the heating cycle path 46 (warm air supply path) through the heating device (4) to the inner tank &

The wind is supplied near the dam 48, and is configured to eject a mist in the warm air circulation path in the dry material. The sprayed mist removes the static electricity generated when the clothes are removed in the drying step, and the new static electricity gives the human body a non-ship and reduces the wrinkles of the clothes after drying. Further, Fig. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of a knot 10 of a clothes dryer provided with a conventional atomizing element, as shown in Fig. 2, the dryer 50 disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei. The drying chamber 51 capable of accommodating clothes; the blower 53 for supplying warm air to the drying chamber 51, and the heating air generating mechanism constituted by heating 54; An air pump 55 for electrolyzing mist in the drying chamber 51; an electric 15 defogging gas generating mechanism composed of the electrolytic mist generator 56; and a control unit 57 thereof. The electrolytic mist generated from the electrolytic mist generating mechanism can be supplied to the rear portion of the downstream side of the heating device of the heater 54 of the warm air generating mechanism, and the electrolytic mist can be mixed by mixing the electrolytic mist with the hot air from the heating device of the heater 54. The temperature is increased and then supplied to the drying chamber 51. According to this type of dryer 5, it is possible to dry and simultaneously deodorize, and 20 can save space and cost, and the deodorizing performance for long-term use is not a problem. Figure 8B is a cross-sectional view for explaining the structure of a conventional atomizing element. As shown in the figure, the spray device 47 of the washer-dryer 40 disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2003-311067 has a water inlet connected to a water supply pipe. 47a, and spray port 47b of sprayable mist 6 200842223. Further, in the drying step, the spraying device 47 is configured such that mist can be ejected into the warm air circulation path #46, and only the water supplied from the water inlet 47a is mechanically fogged by the internal mechanism, and then sprayed. Mouth 47b sprayer. Therefore, the mist sprayed from the spray port 47b is mainly composed of coarse droplets, and the suspension property is not good. Therefore, the washer-dryer 40 does not allow the mist to be sufficiently filled in every corner of the inner tub 43 to wet the entire laundry. As a result, there was a problem that wrinkles which could not be effectively reduced for the entire laundry after the end of drying were observed.

Further, in the clothes dryer 50 10 disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei. No. 2006-158585, the electrolytic mist generator 56 is disposed in the mechanical chamber 52 provided in the lower portion of the drying chamber 51. Further, it is possible to supply the electrolytic mist generated from the electrolytic mist generator to the downstream side of the heater 54, and to superheat the electrolytic mist by mixing with the hot air from the heater 54, and then to discharge upward from the duct 58 The % mist-dissolving gas is ejected by a plurality of slits or holes (to the bottom plate of 51), and then supplied to the drying chamber $1. Although the "drying machine 50 of the rafter type is formed with a plurality of slits or holes in the discharge portion", the smear of the squeegee collides with the lower surface of the bottom plate where no slit or hole is formed, and is reduced into water droplets. Therefore, most of the dryness of the dryer 5 from the electrolytic mist will disappear in the middle, and it will not be able to reach the clothes of 2干燥 to 2, but it will not be able to wet the clothes, even if it is not broken: the door of the evening question. Moreover, 'because of the formation of water droplets in this way, and then the hot air is supplied, and the official room 58 is so good, the hot air with high humidity will be introduced to dryness to 51, and even if there may be some deodorizing effect, the clothes 7 cannot be fully made. 200842223 [Description of the Invention] The atomizing element of the present invention comprises: a liquid storage container for storing a liquid as a mist generating source; and an ultrasonic vibrator for storing the storage 5 in the liquid storage container. a liquid applying ultrasonic vibration; a liquid injection device for injecting the liquid into the liquid storage container; a liquid temperature sensor for measuring a liquid temperature in the liquid storage container, and the atomization element The liquid temperature in the liquid storage container is maintained at a temperature not exceeding 10 degrees in the vicinity of the use upper limit temperature of the use upper limit temperature of the ultrasonic vibrator, and the ultrasonic vibrator is actuated to generate mist.

20 After the required washing time has elapsed, the dirty washing liquid will be discharged by the drain pipe 8. Then, by the spin-drying operation of rotating the rotary drum 4 at a high speed, the laundry is supplied with water, and the water is supplied from the water supply material 7 to the water tank 3 to perform a washing and dehydrating step. In the washing and dewatering step, the yarn which is contained in the rotating drum is repeatedly lifted by the rotating drum* by the rotating drum*, and then lifted and then mixed, and washed. After the iron, after washing, the water is dehydrated by the thief to the drum 4, and the water contained in the strip is dehydrated to complete the washing and dehydrating steps. 4 In-service washer-dryer 1 towel, equipped with the function of washing and drying in the pure rotating drum, and equipped with the air in the water tank 3 to be exhausted, and the dried air after heating is sent again. Circumferential hurricane path 9 from the wind to the sink (4). In the middle of the circulating air supply path 9, the lower position of the washing and drying machine housing 2 is provided with an evaporator 1, a t-dense dehumidifying clothes, a knotting device 11 and the like, and a wind fan. 12, etc. The circulation air supply path 9 is composed of a circulation shield pipe introduction line 13 from the water tank 3 to the wind fan 12, and a dry space "V air line 14" between the air supply duct 12 and the water tank 3. Then, the drying unit 11 200842223 is connected to an air atomizing element 30, which will be described later, near the air guiding port 18 formed on the bottom surface of the water tank 3. The dry air blowing line 14 is behind the washing and drying machine casing 2 ( The space on the back side of the water tank 3 is sequentially constituted by the lower pipes B and 5 and the upper pipe 17 from the upstream side. The communication port 17 & opens below the downstream end of the upper pipe ^, The communication port 17a is connected to the air guiding port 18 provided on the back surface of the water tank. The upper official road 17 is erected obliquely at the lower portion of the casing. The intermediate pipe 17 is bent to a maximum of 9 inches. The upper portion thereof is inclined downward toward the air guiding port 18 of the water tank 3. The flexible tube 16 is constructed using a pipe having 10 flexible portions, and prevents the lower pipe 15 from being transmitted to the rotation of the rotating drum 4 or the vibration of starting and stopping to Air supply fan 12 side. Dehumidification by evaporator 1〇 The dry air heated by the condenser 11 is sent from the air guiding port 18 to the water tank 3 and the rotating drum 4 located inside thereof through the air blowing duct 14. The air blowing fan 12 is driven by the south speed rotation, and the circulating air path 9 can be circulated. 15 generates an air flow, and the high-humidity air in the rotary drum 4 containing the laundry passes through the through-hole 4c provided in the peripheral wall 4a, and is exhausted to the circulating air introduction line 13 from the water tank 3 to the side of the blower fan 12. Then, The air in the circulation air path 9 is dew condensation and dehumidification by the evaporator 1 located upstream of the blower fan 12, and is heated by heat exchange with the condenser 11 to become high-temperature dry air. 20 Drying after heating The air is sent to the dry air supply line 14 from the blower fan 12 to the water tank 3, and then sent to the water tank 3 through the air guide port 18 provided in the water tank 3. The high-temperature dry air sent into the water tank 3 can be set by rotating The bottom surface opening 4d and the through hole 4c of the bottom wall 4b of the drum 4 are introduced into the rotary drum 4, and are circulated between the laundry such as clothes to be dried and simultaneously become a wet space. 12 200842223 Gas 1 is then disposed on the peripheral wall 4a. Through the hole, it is known to run to the water tank 3, and to the circulation again: the hole guide 13 leads. By the air circulation in the circulating air supply path 9 (the circulating air introduction line 13, the dry air supply line M), it can be performed. The drum type washer-dryer 1 of the embodiment of the present invention is provided with an atomizing element 3 后 which will be described later, and the tumbling of the rotating drum and the drying of the dry (four) clothes are reduced to The purpose of the "enemy fold flat stroke". In the / enemy fold parallel core, the evaporator 1 〇 and the condenser U are stopped, and the rotational speeds of the rotary drum 4 and the blower fan 12 are rotated at a lower speed than 1 通常 in the usual drying step. Then, the atomizing element 30 is activated to generate a mist (10) formed by the fine droplets f, and the mist is transferred to the air of the air supply sway 14; As a result, fine wet mist and dry mist are sent to the rotary drum 4 in the water tank 3. In this way, the step of reducing the wrinkle reduction effect can be performed so that the mist 20 can be rotated to the respective corners of the roll 4 to effectively wet the surface of the laundry and reduce the wrinkles of the laundry in a dry state. Then, the atomizing element 30 is stopped, the rotation speed of the traveling drum 4 and the blowing fan 12 is increased to the same speed as the normal drying step, and the evaporator 1 and the condenser are operated to perform the usual drying operation to make the clothes. Dry and flatten the wrinkles of the garment at the same time. Further, in the above-mentioned "wrinkle flattening stroke", it is possible to achieve the wrinkle reduction as described above, and the wrinkle can be reduced by the following principle. The odor of the odor is attached to the surface of the clothes by molecules, such as the smell of smoky or burnt meat. By the mist 2 〇 colliding with the odorless knife, the odor molecules can be incorporated into the molecules of the water itself and detached from the clothes. 13 200842223 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 structure of the atomizing element 30 of the present invention and the "wrinkle flattening stroke" will be described in detail based on Fig. 5, Fig. 6, and the front drawing. Figure 5 is a side cross-sectional view showing the construction of the atomizing element of the same-drum type washer-dryer. Fig. 6 is a rear sectional view for explaining the configuration of the atomizing member of the same-drum type washer-dryer. 10 15 The atomizing element 30 is disposed on the rear side of the water tank 3 and includes: a water storage container 3 is a liquid storage container for storing water 21 as a mist generating source; and an ultrasonic vibrator 32 is used. The ultrasonic wave is applied to the water 21 stored in the water storage container 31; the water injection device 33 is used for injecting water into the water storage device; the water temperature is as follows, and the water temperature in the water storage (4) is measured. Liquid temperature sensor. Further, the water storage container 31 of the atomizing element % is transmitted through the connection port 31e adjacent to the air guiding port at the back surface of the water tank 3, and is directly connected to the upper pipe π of the dry air blowing pipe (4) circulating air blowing path 9). The water storage container 31 is disposed on the outer side of the back surface of the water tank 3. Further, the water storage container 31 and the side wall 31b facing the water tank 3 are inclined along the back surface of the water tank 3 in a straight line direction. The side wall is formed in the vertical direction along the back panel of the washing and drying machine casing 2 to broadly form the bottom wall 31a side of the water storage container 31. The water storage container 31 stores water 21 as a mist generating source. The upper portion of the capacitor 31 is provided with a water injection port 14 200842223 31c for injecting water B from the water injection device 33. And the side wall 31b on the side opposite to the upper line 17 is provided with an opening Id3Id. The connecting portion 31e is partially connected to the upper pipe 17. The water 21 injected into the water storage tank 31 from the water filling port 31c can overflow from the opening port 31d 5 through the connecting port 3le to the upper pipe 17 above the air guiding port 18. So, you can borrow The simple structure keeps the water 21 in the water storage tank 31 at a certain water level. Further, the water 21 overflowing from the opening 31d is sent to the water tank 3 through the connection port 31e, the upper line 17 and the air guiding port 18, and then drained. The line $ is discharged to the outside of the drum type washer-dryer 1. The ultrasonic vibrator 32 is disposed such that the vibrating surface 32a of the piezoelectric element for generating ultrasonic vibration is adhered to 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 32a) 32b, and the liquid column 22 is formed in the water storage container 31. 15 Further, as shown in Fig. 6, The ultrasonic vibrator 32 is attached such that the vibrating surface 32a is inclined toward the reverse side of the connection port 31e, so that the liquid column 22 is formed toward the inner surface of the side wall 31b on the reverse side of the connection port 3le. As indicated by the arrow, along with the liquid When the 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 20, the ultrasonic vibration transmitted through the liquid column 22 can be Producing the surface of water 21 The micro-vibration, thereby weakening the surface tension near the front end of the liquid column 22, causes the mist (mist) 20 of the fine droplets corresponding to the micro-vibrations of the night column 2 2 to be generated. The mist 20 is launched by the convection motion of the water 21 The mist 20 is discharged in the ultrasonic transmission direction 32b. Then, the mist 20 is raised along the inner surface of the side wall 31b by the convection of the water 21 and the air 15200842223 and rises, and then discharged along the surface of the stored water 21 and the inner surface of the side wall 31b through the connection port 31e. The upper duct 17 above the air guiding port 18 is provided. The mist 20 discharged to the upper official road 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, 'the above-described' is formed such that the liquid column 22 is formed obliquely to the inner surface of the side wall 31b on the reverse side of the connection port 3le, so that the water 21 can be prevented from splashing directly into the upper pipe 17 through the connection port 31e due to the liquid column 22, thereby preventing water storage. The water 21 in the container 31 is not necessarily reduced. 10 15 The water injection device 33 is for replenishing the water storage container 31 with the water 21 consumed by the mist 20 . The water supply port provided below the water injection device 33 and the water injection port 31c having the water storage valley 31 are connected by a water injection hose 34, and an opening and closing valve (not shown) is provided at an appropriate position therebetween. When the atomizing element 3 is activated, the water injection device 33 opens the opening and closing 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 for a predetermined period of time during which the water can be filled in the water storage container 31. The excess water 21 will overflow from the opening 3 ld of the side wall 3 lb, so that the water 21 in the bedding water 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 atomizing element 30 is operated while maintaining a constant water level. The water temperature sensing system 35 is configured by using a thermistor or the like to measure the water temperature in the negative water container 31. When the temperature of the water measured by the water temperature sensor 35 exceeds the predetermined temperature (set to the upper limit temperature of the ultrasonic vibrator 32 to be described later or the temperature of the secret), the water supply device 33 supplies water 2 The water temperature is lowered so that the temperature of the water in the water storage container 31 does not exceed the predetermined temperature of 16 200842223 described above. Thus, by replenishing the water 21 from the water injection device 33, the water in the cold water storage container 31 can be quickly cooled without using a special cooling device, so that the water 21 in the water storage container does not exceed the ultrasonic vibration. The upper limit temperature of the device η. 5 On this day, to make the mist 20 fill all the corners of the rotating drum 4, the levitation of the mist 20 is extremely important. That is, in order to ensure sufficient suspensibility of the mist 2, it is preferable to use a mist having a particle diameter smaller than ΙΟμιη. When the particle size of the mist 2 is above 1 (^111, it will easily fall due to the weight of the mist 20 itself, and it is inefficient to fill the inside of the rotary drum 4. However, the particle size is 1 〇 μιη or more. 10 service gas is called wet mist, and has the characteristics of south wetting. That is, since the wet mist having a particle diameter of ΙΟμπι or more collides with the middle of the pipe before being introduced into the rotary drum 4, it is easy to condense and adhere to the pipe. It will be reduced before reaching the inside of the rotary drum 4. Moreover, the wet mist having a particle diameter of 1 〇μηι or more will be combined with each other to become a mist having a larger particle size, and the phenomenon of adhesion to the middle of the pipeline 15 is greatly increased. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, the connection port 3le is disposed near the upper side of the air guiding port 18, and the moving path is shortened as much as possible, so that the reduction of the wet mist can be controlled to a very small amount. The mist 2 〇μηι is called dry mist, which has high suspensibility, large surface tension due to small particle size, and low wettability. 20 Therefore, the mist 20 which is smaller than the particle size does not adhere to the pipeline. Midway, can be efficient The inside of the rotary drum 4 is filled with the mist 20 which is smaller than the particle size ι〇μηι. However, the dry mist which is smaller than the particle size 1〇μηι has low wettability in the original state, even if it is filled in the rotary drum 4 It is not possible to sufficiently wet the clothes. In the embodiment of the present invention, the water in the water storage container 31 is moved as much as possible to the south temperature of the pre-twisting temperature to cause the ultrasonic vibrator 3 2 to operate. In order to generate the mist 20. When the mist 2 is generated, the higher the temperature of the water in the water storage container 31, the more the amount of the mist 20 (the amount of atomization) is generated (increasing the atomization efficiency), and the mist of 5 generations is generated. The temperature of 20 will also be higher. If the high temperature mist 2 〇 is filled in the square rotating drum 4, even if it is smaller than the dry mist of the particle size, it is easy to condense and dew condensation at a temperature higher than the mist 20 The surface of the laundry having a low temperature, the peripheral wall 4a of the rotary drum 4, and the like. At this time, the laundry is rotated by driving the rotary drum 4 to efficiently wet the entire laundry. 1 However, the ultrasonic vibrator 32 has an upper limit temperature. If used super The upper limit temperature is easily deteriorated by the ultrasonic vibrator 32. The upper limit temperature of the ultrasonic vibration 1 § 32 is derived from the internal structure of the piezoelectric element. For example, the ultrasonic vibrator 32 is composed of lead titanate or the like. A piezoelectric ceramic body and an electric 15 pole formed by applying molten silver to the lower surface and the outer peripheral surface thereof and being solidified, and covered with a surface protective material made of stainless steel foil to protect the surface thereof. Piezoelectric ceramic equipped with an electrode The body and the stainless steel foil are bonded together using an epoxy resin or the like, and the upper limit temperature at which the stainless steel foil can be used is limited by the material of the adhesive. That is, the adhesive strength of the epoxy resin adhesive is greater than the atmospheric temperature. About 4 (TC will start to fall, and when it is greater than about (9) ^, it will drop sharply. In the ultrasonic vibrator 32 using such an epoxy resin-based adhesive, the upper limit temperature for use in the practical surface is about 50. °C. As long as the material of the adhesive is changed, the upper limit temperature of the use is changed, so that it is difficult to define the upper limit temperature of the ultrasonic vibrator 32 by using one definition, and the ultrasonic vibrator 32 using the moss-based adhesive is the most It is preferably used in the temperature range of 18 200842223 below 50 ° C (predetermined temperature: such as 45~50 ° C). Further, when the ultrasonic vibrator 32 of another adhesive is used, it is preferably used in a temperature range of a temperature higher than the upper limit of -5 °C and a temperature lower than the upper limit temperature. 5 If the temperature of the water in the water storage container 31 is set to a temperature higher than the upper limit temperature of the ultrasonic vibrator 32, the deterioration of the ultrasonic vibrator 32 can be easily performed, and if it is set to a temperature lower than the upper limit temperature of -5 ° C Then, the temperature of the gas 20 generated by the atomizing element 30 is lowered, and the effect of efficiently drying the entire laundry as described later cannot be sufficiently obtained. By setting the water temperature in the water storage container 31 to a range not exceeding the upper limit temperature of the ultrasonic vibrator 32, the deterioration of the ultrasonic vibrator 32 can be controlled, and a good high temperature can be maintained for a long period of time. The production of fog. In the drum type washer-dryer 1 using the above-described atomizing element 3, the operation of "wrinkle-pull parallel process" for the purpose of reducing wrinkles of the clothes is performed. The temperature of the water in the water storage container 31 is maintained at a predetermined temperature, for example, 5 Torr, which does not exceed the range of the use upper limit temperature of the ultrasonic vibrator 32. Then, the ultrasonic vibrator 32 disposed on the bottom wall 31a of the water storage container 31 is actuated to generate the south temperature service gas 20' and then introduced into the rotary drum 4 of the drum type washing and drying machine 20 through the negative air supply path 9. Inside. At this time, a heating device may be disposed in the water storage container 31, and the temperature of the water in the water storage container 31 is raised by the heating device. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, the water storage capacity in the water storage container 31 is reduced, and the ultrasonic vibrator 32 is vibrated to increase the water temperature in the water storage container 31. That is, it is constructed such that the high temperature 19 200842223 mist 20 can be produced in a simple structure and inexpensively. The mist 20 is generated by such a high water temperature, and is introduced into the rotary drum 4 so that the wet mist and the dry mist fill the respective corners of the rotary drum 4. Then, the twist is uniformly raised over the entire range of the rotary drum 4, and the rotary drum 4 is rotationally driven by the low rotational speed 5, so that moisture can condense any surface portion of the laundry to evenly wet the laundry. Then, after the entire clothes are wetted, the rotary drum 4 and the blower fan 12 are rotationally driven by the high rotational speed. By activating the evaporator 10 and the condenser 11, a drying operation is performed, and wrinkles attached to the laundry 10 can be eliminated by using moisture. Moreover, the clothes after the wrinkles are removed by the use of moisture to be leveled to reduce wrinkles. The atomizing element 3 of the embodiment of the present invention is provided with an opening 堰 31d in the side wall 31b, and is controlled when the atomizing element 30 is activated, and automatically injects the water 21 from the water filling device 33 into the water storage container 31, and from the opening 堰31d overflowing action 15 work. The opening 31d is provided at a height of at least 20 mm from the bottom wall 31a of the water storage container 31. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the ultrasonic vibrator 32 from being actuated in a state where the water level is excessively lowered, resulting in deterioration of the ultrasonic vibrator 32. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the mist 2 is introduced into the rotary drum 4, the blower fan 12 can be rotated at a low rotation speed. At this time, the air supply amount of the air flow in the circulating air supply path 9 is preferably 〇·〇5πι3/min to 1.00 m3/min. If the air supply amount is less than 〇.〇5m3/min, when the wet mist is introduced into the rotary drum 4, the laundry in the rotary drum 4 becomes an obstacle, and the wet mist cannot sufficiently enter the rotary drum 4, and there is also one of the wet mist. Part of the situation between the sinking water tank 3 and the rotating drum 4. Further, the dry mist is introduced into the rotating roller 20 200842223. The amount in the cylinder 4 is reduced, and the above-described effects cannot be sufficiently obtained. Moreover, the air supply volume in the circulating air supply path 9 is greater than 1 〇〇 m3 / is k 'the wet gas will collide with the wall of the dry air supply line 14 (the upper line port) to make the ratio of the existence of the wet mist cut back. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the rectifying fins 36 are provided around the connection port 31e of the water storage container 31 connected to the circulation air blowing path 9. The rectifying fins 36 are formed at a position on the side of the circulating air blowing path 9 by the connecting port 3 le, and are formed by a plate-like member that traverses the circulating air blowing path 9. The rectifying fins 36 are for rectifying (direction-converting) the mist 20 generated in the water storage container 31 so as to flow toward the air flowing through the circulating air supply path 9. In this manner, the ultrasonic wave transmitting direction 32b of the ultrasonic vibrator 32 is inclined toward the inner surface direction of the side wall 31b on the reverse side of the connection port 31e, and the rectifying fins 36 are provided around the connecting port 3le to be generated in the water storage container 31. The mist 20 introduced into the circulating air supply path 9 is sent to the air flow flowing through the circulating air supply path 9, and is uniformly mixed and diffused into the rotating drum 4 in the air flow. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the water temperature in the water storage container 31 is measured by the water temperature sensor 35. However, it is also possible to configure not to use the water temperature sensor 35, but to estimate the temperature of the water 20 in the water storage container 31 from the elapsed time according to the water temperature characteristic which rises with the operation of the ultrasonic vibrator 32, and start the water. The operation of the 21-storage water storage container 31 maintains the water temperature at the predetermined temperature. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the control is performed such that when the atomizing element 30 is activated, the water 21 is injected into the water storage container 31 from the water injection device 33, and the operation overflows from the opening 31d. However, as shown in the side view of the structure of the chemical element of the drum type washer-dryer according to another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 21, 200842223, in addition to the opening, The water level sensor 37 of the liquid level sensor such as the pressure detecting type is disposed at the bottom wall 3ia of the water storage valley 31 or its peripheral portion. Then, when the water level measured by the water level sensor π 5 is smaller than the predetermined water level (e.g., 1 mm) from the bottom wall Ma of the Bening water container 31, the water 21 is injected into the water storage container 31 from the water injection device 33. Therefore, when the atomizing element 30 is activated, the automatic water injection from the water injection device 33 to the % water container 31 is not required, and the water injection operation is performed only when the water level is excessively lowered. As a result, the water level in the water storage capacity (4) can be simplified above the predetermined water level 10, and the ultrasonic vibrator 32 can be prevented from being easily deteriorated. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the rectifying fins 36 are provided in the connection port 31e of the water storage container 31 connected to the circulation air blowing path 9, and the mist 20 generated in the water storage container 31 is introduced into the circulating air supply from the connection port 316. Path 9. However, it may be configured such that the water storage container 31 and the air supply path 9 from the connection port 3U to the circulation 15 have a distance therebetween, and the mist gas is generated in the water storage container 31 by the mist gas outlet pipe. The air flow is sent to the circulating air supply path 9. In this manner, the high-temperature mist 20 generated in the water storage container 31 can be uniformly mixed and diffused in the air flow, and then introduced into the rotary drum 4. Moreover, it is possible to suppress the temperature drop of 2 when the mist 20 is introduced into the rotary drum 4, and the water storage container 31 or the water injection device 33 of the atomizing element 30 is placed at any place in the washer dryer casing 2, and The unused space in the washing and drying machine casing 2 is utilized to save space for the whole. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the water 21 is used as an example of the mist generating source in the atomizing element 30, and the liquid agent (fog electrolyte, washing liquid, and the like) may be obtained by using the Ag ion 22 200842223, respectively.
