201040349 六、發明說明： 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明，係關於以使槽內之空氣通過循環路徑而循環 之方式構成之洗衣機、及備置於該洗衣機之霧滴產生裝置 【先前技術】 Q 該種類之洗衣機，有例如具備熱泵者。該洗衣機，係 在連通接續於槽之循環風路（循環路徑）內，具備有：將 流動於該循環風路內之空氣冷卻除濕之蒸發器、及將流動 於該循環風路內之空氣加熱之凝縮器。接著，該洗衣機， 係在烘乾程序中，藉由循環風扇一邊使槽內之空氣通過循 環風路而循環，一邊將以凝縮器加熱後之空氣（溫風）供 給於槽內，並將從槽被排出的空氣藉由蒸發器冷卻除濕。 該洗衣機，係藉由反覆如此的動作，來進行槽內的衣類之 〇 烘乾。 如此的烘乾程序，係在洗淨槽內之衣類的洗衣程序之 後被進行。但是，附著於衣類之雜菌等，係有在洗衣程序 中無法完全去掉之情況，變得不衛生，或者造成臭味、黴 菌等之產生或衣類之變色等。尤其，近幾年，爲了節約用 水’有使用含有很多雜菌等之洗澡水作爲洗衣程序時的洗 衣水之情況。該情況下，有仍舊附著於衣類之殘留雜菌等 之殘存量會變多之傾向。 另外，作爲將雜菌、惡臭成分、有害物質等去除者， -5- 201040349 被認爲例如日本公開特許公報2006-26 1 1 7號（先前技術 文獻1)記載之裝置。該裝置，係具備有：放電電極、及 與放電電極相對向之對向電極、以及於放電電極使水產生 之拍耳帖元件（Peltier device)。接著，藉由在放電電極 與對向電極之間施加高電壓，來生成具有強氧化作用之羥 基（hydroxyl radical)。藉此，將雜菌、惡臭成分、有害 物質等去除。 若將上述的先前技術文獻1記載之裝置，設置於洗衣 機的循環風路之中途的話，被認爲可將羥基與烘乾用之溫 風一起供給於槽內，並可去除在洗衣程序之後殘存於衣類 之雜菌等。 【發明內容】 [發明所欲解決之問題] 然而，先前技術文獻1記載之裝置，係形成放電電極 與對向電極在極近旁相對向之結構。因此，在放電電極與 對向電極之間產生電暈放電，與此相隨，就會產生臭氧或 氮氧化物。如此之臭氧或氮氧化物，係會使衣類脫色，或 使臭氣產生者，並且，爲對人體有害之氣體。 尤其，密閉性高的滾筒式洗衣機，係爲產生之有害氣 體（臭氧或氮氧化物）容易殘留於槽內。因此，在衣類的 放入取出之際，使用者暴露於有害氣體之可能性很高。作 爲解決如此的問題之手段，被認爲將槽之蓋子鎖住直到產 生的有毒氣體消滅之結構。但是，如此之結構，係在洗衣 -6- ,201040349 完成後無法立刻取出衣類，使用上很不方便。 [用以解決問題之手段] 本發明之目的，係在於提供一種並不會使有害氣體產 生且可生成羥基，並可進行槽內的衣類之除菌和脫臭之洗 衣機、及備置於該洗衣機之霧滴產生裝置。 本發明之洗衣機，其特徵爲：具備有：連通連接於槽 0 之循環路徑、及使上述槽內之空氣通過上述循環路徑而循 環之送風手段、及將流動於上述循環路徑內之空氣冷卻除 濕之除濕手段、以及將流動於上述循環路徑內之空氣加熱 之加熱手段，且具備有靜電霧化裝置，該靜電霧化裝置係 由：以具有吸水性、保水性及吸取特性之多孔質材料所形 成，並使前端部突出於上述循環路徑之內部地被設置之放 電極、及以具有保水性之多孔質材料所形成，並將保水後 之水供給於上述放電極之保水手段、及給水於上述保水手 Q 段之給水手段、以及將負的高電壓施加於上述放電極而使 該放電極帶負電之高電壓施加手段所構成。 根據本發明之洗衣機，於保水手段所保水的水，被供 給於前端部突出於循環路徑的內部之放電極。接著，對於 被供給水之放電極，藉由高電壓施加手段來施加負的高電 壓。藉此，放電極之前端部的水則會分裂而霧滴狀地噴出 於循環路徑之內部。於此，霧滴狀地噴出之水粒子，係帶 負電，並含有藉由其能量生成之羥基。因此，具有強氧化 作用之羥基，則會與流動於循環風路內之空氣一起被供給 201040349 於槽內，而可將槽內之衣類除菌或脫臭。 該情況下，將與藉由高電壓施加手段而帶負電之放電 極相對應之另一方之電極，並不設置於該放電極之近旁。 因而，來自放電極之放電本身則非常平穩。因此，與在放 電極與對向電極之間產生電暈放電之以往結構不同，可抑 制臭氧或氮氧化物等的有害氣體之產生。 本發明之霧滴產生裝置，其特徵爲：具備有：以具有 吸水性、保水性及吸取特性之多孔質材料所形成之放電極 、及以具有保水性之多孔質材料所形成，並將保水後之水 供給於上述放電極之保水手段、及將水供給於上述保水手 段之水供給手段、以及藉由將負的高電壓施加於上述放電 極而使霧滴從上述放電極產生之高電壓施加手段，且在從 上述水供給手段至上述保水手段的給水路徑之一部分設置 有空間部。 根據本發明之霧滴產生裝置，由於備置於以使槽內之 空氣通過循環路徑而循環之方式構成之洗衣機，因此可得 到與本發明之洗衣機同樣的效果。 【實施方式】 [發明之實施形態] (第1實施形態） 以下，參照第1圖〜第4圖說明本發明之第1實施形 態。第2圖，係顯示滾筒式的洗衣機1之整體的外觀之立 體圖。如該第2圖所示，構成洗衣機1的外廓之筐體2, -8- 201040349 係形成整面平滑地傾斜之大致矩形箱狀。在筐體2之左右 兩側面，設置有用以於洗衣機1之移動時等使用之把手3 。又，在筐體2之上面，設置有自來水用給水口 4及洗澡 水用給水口 5。

第3圖所示，在筐體2之內部配設有水槽12(相當於槽） 。在該水槽12之內部’配設有滾筒13° 該等水槽12及滾筒13’係均形成一端部被閉塞之有 底圓筒狀，且在前側（第3圖爲左側）之端面部’分別具 有開口部1 4、開口部1 5。滾筒1 3之開口部1 5，係由水槽 -9- 201040349 12之開口部14所圍繞。水槽12之開口部14，係藉 紋管（bellows) 17連接於形成在筐體2的前面部之 部1 6。在開口部1 6，可開閉地設置有上述之門扉6。 ，由開口部14、開口部15、開口部16所構成之投入 此爲洗滌物（衣類等）的放入取出用之投入口 ’而藉 扉6來開閉。 在滾筒1 3的開口部1 5之周圍，設置有例如液體 型之旋轉平衡器1 8。在滾筒1 3的周側部（胴部）之 整個區域，形成有複數個孔19(只圖示一部分）。該 孔19，係可發揮在洗衣程序時、洗清程序時及脫水程 作爲通水孔之功能，而在烘乾程序時作爲通風孔之功 在滾筒13的周側部之內面，突設有複數個擋板20。 筒1 3的後側之端面部，形成有複數個溫風導入口 2 1 等之溫風導入口 2 1，係使與滾筒1 3之中心軸同圓心 置成環狀。 水槽1 2，係在前側的端面部之上部（比開口部1 上方之部分），具有溫風出口 22。並且，水槽12, 後側的端面部之上部，使與上述溫風導入口 2 1之旋 跡相對向而具有溫風入口 2 3。 在水槽1 2之上部，經由給水軟管24連接有給水」 。在該給水盒25，經由給水閥26,連接有自來水用 口 4及洗澡水用給水口 5。藉此，來自自來水用給水 的自來水’或者來自洗澡水用給水口 5的洗澡水，就 由給水閥2 6、給水盒2 5、給水軟管2 4而被供給於水; 由波 開口 藉此 P， 由門 封入 大致 等之 序時 能。 在滾 。該 地配 4更 係在 轉軌 t 25 給水 P 4 會經 磨12 -10- 201040349 之內部。又，在給水盒25，就會經由洗劑類投入部9 投入洗劑類（洗劑、柔軟劑、漂白劑等）。該等之洗 ，就會與自來水，或者洗澡水一起被供給於水槽12內 在水槽12的底部之最後部，形成有排水口 27。 排水口 27，連接有接連於洗衣機1的外部之排水軟| (相當於排水路徑）。在排水軟管28之中途，設置 水閥29。藉此，水槽1 2內的水則可排水於機外。 Q 在水槽12之背面部，安裝有馬達30。馬達30之 軸31，係突出於水槽12內。在旋轉軸31之前端部， 有滾筒1 3之後側的端面部之中心部分。藉此，滾筒 係於水槽12以同軸狀可旋轉地被支撐。即，洗衣機1 藉由馬達30將滾筒13直接旋轉驅動之結構，採用藉 達3 0之直接驅動方式。並且，馬達3 0，該情況，係 齒輪型之無刷DC馬達所構成。 水槽12，係藉由複數個懸置32(只圖示1個） 〇 性支撐於筐體2。水槽1 2之支撐形態，係該水槽1 2 方向成前後方向之橫軸狀，而且，爲前揚起之傾斜狀 此，如上述地被支撐在該水槽12內之滾筒13，也形 同形態。 在水槽12之下方（筐體2之底面上），配置有 33。 在該底板33上，配置有朝前後方向延伸之通風 34。 該通風導管34，係於前端部之上部具有吸風口 該吸風口 35，係經由連接軟管36及回風導管37，連 水槽12之溫風出口 22。又，回風導管37，係以迂迴 而被 劑類 〇 在該 f 28 有排 旋轉 安裝 13， ，係 由馬 以外 被彈 之軸 。因 成相 底板 導管 35 〇 接於 水槽 -11 - 201040349 1 2之開口部1 4的側部之方式所配管。 在通風導管34之後端部，連設有循環用送風機38之 外殼39。該外殼39之出口部40，係經由連接軟管41及 給風導管42，連接於水槽12之溫風入口 23。又，給風導 管42，係如第4圖所示，從水槽12 (洗衣機1 )之背面側 觀之，係以迂迴馬達3 0的右側之方式所配管。於此，藉 由回風導管37、連接軟管36、通風導管34、循環用送風 機38之外殼39、連接軟管41、給風導管42，構成連通連 接於水槽12之循環風路43 (相當於循環路徑）。 循環用送風機3 8，該情況，係以離心風扇所構成。即 ，循環用送風機38，係於外殻39之內部具有離心葉輪44 ’並且於外殼3 9之外部具有使該離心葉輪44旋轉之馬達 45。循環用送風機3 8，係可發揮作爲：使水槽12內（滾 筒13內）之空氣’如第3圖之箭頭符號所示，通過循環 風路43而循環之送風手段之功能。 循環風路43之中’在通風導管34之內部，於前部配 置有蒸發器46 (相當於除濕手段），於後部配置有凝縮器 47(相當於加熱手段）。該等蒸發器46及凝縮器47，雖 均未詳細圖示，但係爲將傳熱翼片以細小間距多數配設而 成之附有翼片之管型者。因此’該等蒸發器46及凝縮器 47，係熱交換性優異，使流動於通風導管34內之風（參 照第3圖以實線所不之箭頭符號）會通過該等傳熱翼片之 各個之間。 蒸發器46及凝縮器47’係與壓縮機48及未圖式之流 -12- 201040349 量控制閥（例如，電子式之控制閥）一起構成熱泵49。在 該熱泵49中，藉由冷媒流通管，依壓縮機48、凝縮器47 、流量控制閥、蒸發器46之順序將該等循環連接，藉此 構成冷凍循環。壓縮機48和流量控制閥之驅動，則藉由 控制裝置1 0所控制。 控制裝置10，係如上所述，藉由使循環用送風機38 作動’而使水槽12內之空氣通過循環風路43而循環。並 Q 且’控制裝置1 〇，係藉由使壓縮機48和流量控制閥作動 ’而使冷凍循環之冷媒循環。接著，藉由蒸發器46將流 動於循環風路43內之空氣冷卻除濕，並藉由凝縮器47來 加熱而溫風化。藉此，控制裝置1 0，係將供給溫風於水槽 12內而烘乾該水槽12內（滾筒13內）的洗滌物之供乾運 轉可執行地所構成。 如此的結構之洗衣機1中，在循環風路43之中途部 分’備置有靜電霧化裝置50。該靜電霧化裝置50，係如 Q 第4圖所示，在構成循環風路43之中途部分的給風導管 42中，備置於：比溫風入口 23更上游，且比連接軟管41 更下游側而超過連接軟管41的下游側端之緊接的部分（ 第4圖中，係爲給風導管42 —面迂迴馬達30 —面朝上方 延伸的部分之下端部分）。 其次，參照第1圖說明該靜電霧化裝置50之結構。 該靜電霧化裝置50，係於安裝在循環風路43的外部之盒 子51’備置複數個放電極52、以及由保水材53 (相當於 保水手段）、導電桿54等構成之霧滴產生器及給水手段 -13- 201040349 所構成。 放電極5 2，係以具有吸水性、保水性及吸取特性之多 孔質材料（例如，由纖維狀之聚酯所構成之氈材）所形成 者’且各自前端部（第1圖中，係爲上端部）形成尖銷形 狀。該等複數個放電極52，係以穿過由絕緣性材料（例如 ’聚丙烯等之樹脂）所構成之固定板55之方式固定於該 固定板55。並且，該等複數個放電極52，係以各自之前 端部突出於循環風路43的內部之方式所設置。該等複數 個放電極52，係由配置於中央部之放電極52a、及同心圓 狀地配置於該放電極52a的周圍之複數個放電極52b所構 成。此情況，中央部之放電極52a，係形成比周圍之放電 極52b更長。放電極52a之基端部（第1圖中，係爲下端 部），係延伸於盒子51之中設置於放電極52的下方之蓄 水箱部5 1 a (相當於蓄水箱）。 保水材53，係以具有保水性之多孔質材料（例如，聚 氨酯海綿）所形成，且配設於固定板55之下方。在該保 水材53，以穿過之方式插入有複數個放電極52。藉此， 放電極52之中循環風路43之外部部分（第1圖中，係爲 下側之部分）’則成爲由保水材5 3所覆蓋之狀態。 在蓄水箱部5 1 a，連接有從給水閥2 6延伸之給水路徑 56 (也參照第3圖），作爲給水手段使給水於保水材5 3 地所構成。該情況，給水閥2 6，係可切換使兩個給水口 4 、5之中只將自來水用給水口 4開放於該給水路徑5 6。因 此，來自自來水用給水口 4的自來水之一部分，則經由給 -14 - 201040349 水閥26及給水路徑56而被給水於蓄水箱部5 1 a。 接著，被供給於蓄水箱部5 1 a內的水’係經由 該蓄水箱部5 1 a之放電極52a而被吸水（被吸取） 供給於保水材53。被供給於保水材53的水，係滲 保水材53內，與此相隨地，對於放電極52a和放電 也供給水。於此，給水閥2 6，係可發揮作爲：經由 用給水口 4、給水路徑56、蓄水箱部5 1 a、放電極 0 而給水於保水材53之給水手段的一部分之功能。 又，在放電極52a，不僅含有從保水材53被供 ，而且該放電極5 2 a本身也含有從蓄水箱部5 1 a吸 。並且，由於放電極5 2 b，係以放電極5 2 a爲中心 成同心圓狀，因此從放電極52a滲透於保水材53 ，則均等地被供給於周圍之放電極52b。 並且，在蓄水箱部5 1 a，連接有延伸於排水軟領 中比排水閥29更下游的部分之溢水路徑57(也參 Q 圖）。該溢水路徑57，係端部57a延伸到蓄水箱部 內部。藉此，則可將水位達到端部5 7 a之水量（在〗 以虛線顯示之水位’例如未滿1 c c ) ’蓄水於蓄’ 5 1a內。蓄水箱部51a內之水位一達到端部57a時 箱部51a內的水就會從該端部57a溢出。溢出的水 經由溢水路徑5 7而被排水於排水軟管2 8。 導電桿54 ’係其前端部，穿過保水材53而被 固定板55。並且，導電桿54，係其基端部，被連 衣機1之電源迴路（未圖示）的高電壓電源58之 延伸於 ，並被 透於該 極52b 自來水 52a， 給的水 水的水 被配置 內的水 ? 28之 照第3 51a之 第1圖 水箱部 ，蓄水 ，則會 固定於 接於洗 負極（ -15- 201040349 例如，-6kV)。藉此，來自高電壓電源58之負的高電壓 ，則會經由導電桿54、及含有水之保水材53而被施加於 放電極52，且該放電極52則會帶負電。即，由該等導電 桿54及高電壓電源58，構成：將負的高電壓施加於放電 極52而使該放電極52帶負電之高電壓施加手段。 並且，該情況，洗衣機1之筐體2 ’則經由接地線（ 未圖示）等而被接地。接著，在如此地被接地之筐體2( 並不在放電極52之近旁相對向且遠離該放電極52之位置 所設置之構件），係可發揮作爲：與帶負電的放電極52 相對應之另一方的電極（對極）之功能所構成。 又，如第3圖及第4圖所示，在循環風路43之中設 置有靜電霧化裝置50之部分，設置有區隔板43a。該區隔 板43a，係具有朝下方傾斜之簷部43b’並且以與靜電霧 化裝置50之放電極52的上方相對向之方式所設置。藉此 ，流動於循環風路43內的空氣（溫風）之一部分，則被 供給於靜電霧化裝置50側，並在通過放電極52及其周邊 部分之後合流於循環風路43 (參照在第3圖以虛線顯示之 箭頭符號）。 根據備置有如此所構成的靜電霧化裝置5 0之洗衣機1 ’被蓄水於蓄水箱部51a內的水，係經由放電極52a而被 供給於保水材5 3。被保水於保水材5 3的水’係被供給於 前端部突出於循環風路43的內部之放電極52。接著’對 於被供給水之放電極5 2，施加來自高電壓電源5 8之負的 高電壓。此時，電荷集中於放電極5 2.之前端部’對於含 -16 - 201040349 在該前端部的水給予超越表面張力之能量。藉此，放電極 52之前端部的水則會分裂（雷利（Rayleigh)分裂），而霧 滴狀地噴出於循環風路43之內部。即，產生靜電霧化現 象。於此，霧滴狀地噴出之水粒子，係帶負電，並含有藉 由其能量生成之羥基。因此’具有強氧化作用之羥基，則 會與流動於循環風路43內之空氣（溫風）一起被供給於 水槽12內，而可將水槽12內之洗滌物（衣類等）除菌或 0 脫臭。 該情況下，洗衣機1，係將與藉由來自高電壓電源5 8 之負的高電壓而帶負電之放電極52相對應之另一方之電 極，並不設置於該放電極52之近旁。因而，來自放電極 52之放電本身則非常平穩。因此，與在放電極與對向電極 之間產生電暈放電之以往結構不同，可抑制有害氣體（臭 氧、或藉由該臭氧氧化空氣中的氮而產生的氮氧化物、亞 硝酸、硝酸等）之產生。 Q 因此，滾筒式之洗衣機1，係於洗滌物放入取出用之 投入口設置有門扉6和波紋管1 7，爲密閉性高之結構。其 中，也不會在水槽12內等殘留有害氣體，且在洗漉物的 放入取出之際，不會有使用者暴露於有害氣體之虞。並且 ，也不會有因有害氣體造成衣類之脫色或惡臭的產生等之 虞。 並且，由於洗衣機1，係如此地可抑制有害氣體之產 生，因此不需要設置用以去除有害氣體之結構（例如，臭 氧分解觸媒）。 -17- 201040349 並且，在蓄水箱部51a，只被給水來自清潔度高的 來水用給水口 4之自來水。接著，在該蓄水箱部51a， 並不被供給來自洗澡水用給水口 5之洗澡水。該洗澡水 係含有比自來水較多量的雜菌或礦物質份（例如，鈣或 )等。因此，蓄水箱部51a內則不易藉由雜菌等而變得 衛生。並且，含在洗澡水之礦物質份並不會到放電極52 因而在該放電極52並不會有礦物質份凝集且形成水垢 累積起來之情事。因此，放電極52並不會引起堵塞且 維持良好的通水性，可防止霧滴（霧滴狀地被噴出之水 子）之噴出量會降低之情事。並且，可將放電極52本 之耐用期限變長。 又，靜電霧化裝置50，係只要爲循環風路43之中 部分可設置於任意之部分。但是，如本實施形態所示， 置於循環風路43之中藉由給風導管42所構成之部分爲 理想。給風導管42，係構成比在循環風路43之蒸發器 及凝縮器47更下游之部分。因此，在該部分產生的羥 ’則不易受到蒸發器46的冷卻作用及凝縮器47的加熱 用之影響。 (第2實施形態） 其次’說明本發明之第2實施形態。本實施形態， 使霧滴產生器之放電極52載持白金奈米膠體。白金奈 膠體’係例如將放電極5 2浸漬於含有該白金奈米膠體 處理液，而藉由將此燒成可使載持。 白 則 鎂 不 而 可 粒 身 途 設 較 46 基 作 係 米 之 -18- 201040349 將白金變小（微粒子化）到奈米尺寸（例如’粒徑2 〜5 nm)時，其微粒子（白金奈米粒子）則會帶電位。接 著，經由放電極52將負的電荷給予如此之白金奈米粒子 時，該白金奈米粒子之電位（氧化還元電位）則變爲負。 循環風路43內之空氣與氧化還元電位變爲負之白金奈米 粒子接觸時，在其白金奈米粒子上則可促進來自氧分子之 電位移動，且可生成帶負的電荷之氧原子。該帶負的電荷 0 之氧原子，係藉由其能量變爲氧基，並從白金奈米粒子脫 離，而噴出於循環風路43內。噴出於循環風路43內之氧 基，係於該循環風路4 3內與噴出成霧滴狀之水粒子接觸 ，藉此，可生成羥基。 又，即使使放電極52載持並不變小到奈米尺寸之白 金粒子，如此之白金粒子係亦帶正的電荷。因此，無法使 具有強氧化作用之氧基或羥基生成。 根據本實施形態，藉由使放電極52載持之白金奈米 〇 膠體，則在循環風路43內容易生成羥基，可更加提高由 靜電霧化裝置5 0之水槽1 2內的除菌功能和脫臭功能。 (第3實施形態） 其次，說明本發明之第3實施形態。本實施形態，係 將霧滴產生器中之保水材53’以纖維狀之離子交換樹脂形 成者，並非聚氨酯海綿。因此’放電極52之中循環風路 43的外部之部分，形成藉由離子交換樹脂所覆蓋之結構。 該情況，離子交換樹脂，係將強酸性之離子交換樹脂與強 -19- 201040349 鹼性之離子交換樹脂混合而形成者。 根據如此之結構，在將來自自來水用給水口 4之自來 水供給於放電極52之前，含在該自來水之礦物質份，則 會藉由離子交換樹脂而被吸附除去。因此，可防止水垢在 放電極52累積起來之情事。藉此，可良好地維持放電極 52之通水性，且可使放電極52適當地帶負電。因此，可 防止霧滴之噴出量會降低之情事。並且，可將放電極52 本身之耐用期限變長。並且，由於離子交換樹脂係爲纖維 狀，因此不易從保水材5 3流出。 又，保水材5 3，係亦可將吸水性樹脂（例如，纖維素 、聚丙烯酸鈉、聚乙烯醇系樹脂、聚醯胺系樹脂等）混合 於離子交換樹脂而形成。藉此，保水材53之保水性則會 提高，用以供給於放電極5 2的水則不易缺乏’並可均等 地進行往放電極5 2之水供給。作爲吸水性樹脂’纖維狀 或粒子狀都沒關係，但每重量之表面積較大爲較理想。 並且，雖然有離子交換樹脂流出之虞，但並非以纖維 狀之離子交換樹脂來形成保水材53整體’例如將粒徑數 十微米〜數百微米之粒子狀（聯珠狀）之離子交換樹脂混 合於聚氨酯海綿來形成保水材53也沒關係。並且，亦可 以例如將離子交換樹脂收納於設有多數的孔之具有通水性 之盒子，而設置於蓄水箱部51a之方式來作成。並且’亦 可以例如在給水路徑5 6之中途’設置充塡有離子交換樹 脂之柱之方式來作成。關鍵爲’只要是在將水供給於放電 極52之前，可使該水接觸離子交換樹脂而去除礦物質份 -20- 201040349 之結構即可。 (第4實施形態） 其次，說明本發明之第4實施形態。在上述之各實施 形態中，靜電霧化裝置50之來自高電壓電源58之負的高 電壓，係經由含在保水材53的水而被施加於放電極52。 此係爲了藉由經由水使電氣易於流動而適當地維持通電效 0 率，防止起因於導電性降低之加熱所導致之起火等。然而 ，如上述之第3實施形態所示，若將含在水之礦物質份藉 由離子交換樹脂去除時，就會有水之導電性會大大地降低 ，且通電效率會降低之可能性。 因此，在本實施形態中，放電極52，係於具有吸水性 、保水性及吸取特性之多孔質材料（例如，由纖維狀之聚 酯所構成之氈材）混紡導電性物質（例如，碳纖維）所形 成。根據如此之結構，放電極5 2本身則會具有導電性。 Q 因此’即使爲水的導電性降低之情況，亦可將來自高電壓 電源58之負的高電壓適當地施加於該放電極52。藉此， 可防止起因於導電性降低之加熱所導致之起火等。並且， 來自放電極52之放電則會穩定。 又，亦可將放電極52，只以由例如碳纖維所構成之氈 材來形成’且以導電性物質來構成該放電極52整體。 (第5實施形態） 其次，關於本發明之第5實施形態，參照第5圖說明 -21 - 201040349 之。第5圖中’在與第1實施形態同一部分賦予同一符號 。本實施形態，係將除菌劑61設置於蓄水箱部5 1 a之內 部者。 除菌劑6 1，該情況係形成立方體型之塊狀材，由銀氧 化物及磷酸鈣（相當於磷酸系玻璃）所組成。銀氧化物， 係藉由將含在該銀氧化物的銀（相當於具有除菌性之金屬 元素）作爲銀離子溶出於水中，而肩負除菌作用者。 磷酸鈣，係具有對於水逐漸地溶出之性質（徐溶性） ，肩負藉由該徐溶性使除菌劑61本身之體積逐漸地變小 之功能。並且，磷酸鈣，係具有作爲玻璃的性質之硬性（ 硬度）。因而，也肩負對於除菌劑61賦予機械性的強度 (硬度）之功能。 根據本實施形態’藉由從除菌劑61被溶出之銀離子 ，可抑制在蓄水箱部5 1 a內的雜菌類之增殖’可將蓄水箱 部51a內，進而靜電霧化裝置50內衛生地保持。並且’ 可抑制源於雜菌類之澱渣的產生’而可防止往放電極52 的吸水性之降低，和霧滴的噴出量之降低。並且’在被供 給於放電極52的水’進而從該放電極52被噴出的霧滴狀 之水粒子則會含有銀離子’而該銀離子則會被供給於水槽 1 2內。藉此，可對於水槽1 2內之洗滌物賦予抗菌性。 並且，含在除菌劑6 1之磷酸成份’係溶解於水時’ 就會對於礦物質份（銘或鎂）形成螯合物構造（ C a 2 P 6 〇丨8 2 -、M g 2 P 6 〇 182 _ ) ’提咼礦物質份之水溶解性。藉 此’礦物質份則不易凝集於放電極5 2 ’並不會形成水垢而 -22- 201040349 累積起來。因此，放電極52並不會引起堵塞且可 好的通水性，可防止霧滴（霧滴狀地被噴出之水粒 噴出量會降低之情事。並且，可將放電極52本身 期限變長。 又，在除菌劑61，亦可使含有肩負防止銀氧化 色化的功能之氧化亞鉛，或爲了將除菌劑6 1著色 添加之氧化鈷等。並且，除菌劑6 1之形狀，並非 0 方體，例如，亦可爲圓盤形狀或板狀。並且，藉由 更每一粒之重量和大小，可調整銀離子之溶出量。 (第6實施形態） 其次，關於本發明之第6實施形態，參照第6圈 7圖說明之。第6圖及第7圖中，在與第1實施形儀 部分賦予同一符號。本實施形態，係將複數個放電 的前端部之曲率設定複數種者。 Q 即，如第6圖及第7圖所示，配置在中央部之β 71a，其前端部之曲率（前端部之半徑）爲1〜2mm。 於此，配置在該放電極71a的周圍之複數個放電極 其前端部之曲率比放電極71a更大，最大者爲5mm 。即，中央部的放電極7 1 a之前端部係形成尖突狀， 於此，周圍的放電極71b之前端部係形成光滑的半均 接著，使各放電極7 1b前端部之曲率變化。又，周園 電極71 b，如第7圖所示，係以放電極71 a爲中心画 同心圓狀。 持良 )之 耐用 之褐 藍色 於立 當變 3及第 !同一 極 71 ζ電極 相對 71b， 程度 相對 Μ犬。 目的放 己置成 -23- 201040349 一般，放電極之前端部越尖突，放電 霧滴狀地被噴出的水粒子之粒徑則越小（

產生的霧滴及羥基則會均一地被噴出。因 佳的除菌作用、脫臭作用。 又，例如，亦可將中央部的放電極7] 率變大，並將周圍的放電極71b之前端部 鍵爲，只要是前端部之曲率較大之帶有圓 端部之曲率較小之尖突的放電極混雜之結 各放電極之曲率，並非限於上述之數値， 定。 (第7實施形態） 其次，關於本發明之第7實施形態， 1 1圖說明之。本實施形態，係有關霧滴產 電壓則越高，且 數十nm〜數百 基的比率（含有

水路徑82及霧滴產生器83所構成。 給水路徑8 2，係從連接於未圖示的給水源（水龍頭等 )之給水閥8 4 (相當於水供給手段）至後述之霧滴產生器 83內之第1保水材99(參照第11圖）者。給水路徑82， 係於其一部分備置U字收集管8 5。 Ο 該U字收集管85，係整體於上下方向形成長中空狀 ，且在其內部具有下端開口之區隔部85a。藉此，在該u 字收集管85之內部，形成有斷面成大致U字狀之水路， 成爲可於該水路部分蓄水之結構。該U字收集管85,係 於上游部（第8圖爲右側之上端部分）具有給水口 85b， 且於下游部（第8圖爲左側之比上下方向中央部更上側部 分）具有排水口 8 5 c。並且，U字收集管8 5，係在給水口 85b之下部近旁且是比排水口 85c更低之位置具有溢水口 〇 85d。又，該溢水口 85d之開口尺寸，係設定成比排水口 8 5 c之開口尺寸更大。 在給水口 8 5b，經由給水用管路8 6連通連接有給水閥 8 4。在排水口 8 5 c，連通連接有朝下方彎曲而延伸之排水 用管路87。在溢水口 85d，經由溢水用管路88連通連接 有緩衝用水箱8 9。該緩衝用水箱8 9，係於其底部連接有 排水路9 0。在該排水路9 0之中途，設置有排水閥9 1。並 且，在緩衝用水箱89之上部，經由加壓用管92，連接有 例如由風扇裝置所構成之加壓裝置93 (相當於內壓上升手 -25- 201040349 段）。 該加壓裝置9 3，係在緩衝用水箱8 9之排水閥9 1被關 閉之狀態，通過加壓用管92、緩衝用水箱89、溢水用管 路88將空氣從溢水口 85d壓送於U字收集管85內（尤其 上游部內）。藉此，加壓裝置93，係以使U字收集管85 內之壓力（內壓）上升之方式所構成。又，加壓裝置93， 係亦可由例如壓送泵或壓縮機等所構成，而並非由風扇裝 置所構成。 另一方面，在霧滴產生器83，設置有朝U字收集管 8 5側延伸之導水部94。在該導水部94的端部之上部，設 置有導水口 94a。並且，在導水部94內部中與導水口 94a 相對向之部分，設置有離子交換樹脂95。導水部94之導 水口 94a，係從下方與上述之排水用管路87之前端部（第 8圖爲下側之端部）相對向，且形成與該排水用管路8 7之 前端部離間之狀態。藉此，在排水用管路87之前端部與 導水口 94a之間形成有開放於大氣之空間部96。 根據如此之結構，從給水閥84經由給水用管路86被 供給於U字收集管8 5內的水（第9圖中，參照箭頭記號 A)，係逐漸地被蓄積於該U字收集管85內。接著’在 被供給於U字收集管85內的水之水位超過溢水口 85d的 高度之情況時，從該溢水口 8 5 d溢出的水會經由溢水用管 路8 8而流出於緩衝用水箱8 9內（第9圖中，參照箭頭記 號B )。流出於緩衝用水箱89內的水，則會藉由使排水 閥9 1適當開放而排水於外部。 -26- 201040349 U字收集管8 5，係藉由使溢出的水流出於緩衝用水箱 8 9內，不會從排水口 8 5 c排水而將預定量（此情況，水位 成溢水口 85d的高度之水量）的水蓄積於該u字收集管 85內。並且’與此同時地，U字收集管85，係於上游部 側形成空間部9 7。藉由如此地在U字收集管8 5內形成空 間部97，給水閥84與U字收集管85內的水則會被隔離 。如此地，在給水路徑82，則會形成有兩個空間部96、 〇 970 接著，加壓裝置93，係在給水閥84被關閉之狀態（ 往U字收集管8 5內之給水停止之狀態），藉由將空氣壓 送於U字收集管85內（第10圖中，參照箭頭記號C)， 使形成在U字收集管85的上游部之空間部97的內壓上升 。藉此，被蓄積在U字收集管8 5內的水從上游部側朝向 下游部側被推出而從排水口 85 c被排水（第1 0圖中，參 照箭頭記號D )，並通過排水用管路8 7而被給水於導水 Q 部94內。 又，該情況，藉由變更來自例如加壓裝置93的空氣 之壓送量，可調整從U字收集管85內往導水部94之給水 量。即，亦可藉由將來自加壓裝置93的空氣之壓送量變 多（變強），使U字收集管8 5內的水之全部供給於導水 部94。並且，亦可藉由將來自加壓裝置93的空氣之壓送 量變少（變弱），使U字收集管8 5內的水之一部分供給 於導水部9 4。 其次，關於霧滴產生器83參照第11圖說明之。第11 -27- 201040349 圖，係槪略地顯示霧滴產生器8 3的結構之縱斷側面圖。 霧滴產生器83,係於構成外廓之盒子98’備置：第1 保水材99(相當於保水手段）、第2保水材1〇〇、吸水構 件101(相當於水供給手段）、複數個（第11圖爲顯示4 個）放電極102、導電桿103 (相當於高電壓施加手段） 等所構成。 盒子98，係由絕緣性材料（例如，聚丙烯等之樹脂） 所構成，其下部爲中空狀而構成可蓄水之蓄水箱部9 8 a ( 相當於蓄水箱）。在蓄水箱部98a之側部，連接有導水部 94。如上述地從U字收集管85被供給的水，則會經由該 導水部94而被導入於蓄水箱部98a內。 並且，在蓄水箱部98a之底部，連接有溢水路徑104 。該溢水路徑1〇4，係其端部104a延伸直到蓄水箱部98a 之內部。藉此，可將水位達到端部1 04a之水量（例如未 滿lOOcc)的水，蓄水於蓄水箱部98a內。蓄水箱部98a 內之水位達到端部l〇4a時，蓄水箱部98a內的水就會從 該端部104a溢出。溢出的水，則會經由溢水路徑1〇4而 被排水。 第1保水材99及第2保水材1 00，係被配設於盒子 98內之上部。第1保水材99，係以具有保水性之多孔質 材料（例如，聚氨酯海綿）所形成。該第1保水材9 9，係 在盒子98之內部中被收容於蓄水箱部98a之上方。第2 保水材1 〇 〇，係於具有保水性之多孔質材料（例如，聚氣 醋海綿）混合導電性物質（例如，石墨）而形成者。該第 -28- 201040349 2保水材1〇〇，係在盒子98之內部中被收容於第1保水材 99之上方。又，於第2保水材1〇〇作爲導電性物質而被混 入之石墨’係用以確保該第2保水材1 〇〇之導電性和硬性 者。 吸水構件1 0 1，係以具有吸水性、保水性及水的吸取 特性之多孔質材料（例如，由纖維狀之聚酯所構成之氈材 )所形成者，且其上下兩端部形成尖銷形狀。吸水構件 0 101之基端部（第11圖爲下側之端部），係延伸於以將該 吸水構件101從下方覆蓋之方式被設置之蓄水箱部98a內 ，則會與蓄積在該蓄水箱部9 8 a內的水接觸。另一方面， 吸水構件1 〇 1之前端部（第1 1圖爲上側之端部），係以 從下方插入之方式被插入於第1保水材99。藉此，吸水構 件1 〇 1之前端側部分，係藉由第1保水材99所覆蓋並成 爲與該第1保水材99接觸之狀態。 放電極1 02，係以具有吸水性、保水性及水的吸取特 Q 性之多孔質材料（例如，由纖維狀之聚酯所構成之氈材） 所形成者，且各自前端部（第1 1圖爲上側之端部）形成 尖銷形狀。該等複數個放電極102之基端部（第11圖爲 下側之端部），係以從上方插入之方式被插入於第1保水 材99。藉此，複數個放電極102之下端側部分成爲分別藉 由第1保水材99所覆蓋之狀態。 並且，該等複數個放電極102，係以穿過盒子98內的 第2保水材1〇〇及盒子98的上面部之方式所配設。因此 ’該等放電極102，係主要藉由盒子98之上面部所固定， -29- 201040349 並且藉由具有硬性之第2保水材100輔助性地被固定。該 等放電極1 02，係同心圓狀地配置於吸水構件1 0 1之周圍 〇 蓄積在蓄水箱部98a內的水，係經由延伸於該蓄水箱 部98a內的吸水構件1〇1而被吸水（被吸取），並被供給 於第1保水材99。接著’被供給於第1保水材99的水， 係滲透於該第1保水材99內，與此相隨地，水被供給於 放電極102。又，放電極102，係以吸水構件1〇1爲中心 被配置成同心圓狀。因此，從吸水構件1 〇 1滲透於第1保 水材99內的水，則會均等地被供給於周圍之放電極1 02。 並且，含在第1保水材99的水之一部分，也滲透於第2 保水材1 00。因此，從該第2保水材100也會將水供給於 放電極102。 導電桿1 03，係其前端部（第1 1圖爲上側之端部）， 在盒子98內穿過第1保水材99，而被固定於具有硬性之 第2保水材100。並且，導電桿103，係在盒子98之外部 中，留下其基端部（第1 1圖爲下側之端部）的周側部之 整個區域，爲藉由由絕緣性材料所構成之被覆構件103a 所覆蓋。導電桿1 〇3，係將其基端部（下端部），連接於 電源電路（未圖示）的高電壓電源105之負極（例如，-6k V )。藉此，來自高電壓電源105之負的高電壓，經由導電 桿103、含有水之第1保水材99及第2保水材100而被施 加於放電極1 〇2 ’而該放電極1 02則會帶有負電。即，導 電桿103，係可發揮作爲：將來自高電壓電源105之負的 -30- 201040349 高電壓施加於放電極102而使該放電極102帶有負電之高 電壓施加手段之功能。 根據如此之結構，在被供給水之放電極1〇2，施加有 來自高電壓電源105之負的高電壓。此時，電荷會集中於 放電極102之前端部，且對於含在該前端部的水會給予超 越表面張力之能量。藉此，放電極102之前端部的水則會 分裂（雷利分裂），而從該放電極1 02之前端部霧滴狀地 0 被噴出。即，產生靜電霧化現象。於此，霧滴狀地被噴出 之水粒子，係帶負電，並含有藉由其能量生成之羥基。因 此，具有強氧化作用之羥基，則會從放電極102與霧滴一 起被噴出，且藉由該羥基之作用可除菌或脫臭。 又’霧滴產生器83，係並無備置與帶負電之放電極 1〇2相對應之另一方之電極。該情況，在設置有該霧滴產 生器83之對象機器（例如，洗衣機1)中，經由地線等而 接地之構件（例如，筐體2)，則可發揮作爲：與帶負電 Q 之放電極1〇2相對應之另一方的電極之功能。 即’霧滴產生器83，係形成：將與藉由來自高電壓電 源105之負的高電壓而帶負電之放電極1〇2相對應之另一 方的電極，並無設置於該放電極1〇2的近旁之結構。因而 ’來自放電極102之放電本身則非常平穩。因此，不會產 生電暈放電’可抑制有害氣體（臭氧、或藉由該臭氧氧化 空氣中的氮而產生的氮氧化物、亞硝酸、硝酸等）之產生 〇 生成羥基之霧滴產生裝置中，往霧滴產生器的放電極 -31 - 201040349 之水的供給、以及往該放電極之高電壓的施加爲不 的。接著，將如此的霧滴產生裝置設置於洗衣機之 ，作爲水源係可設想共同使用往槽內之給水源（水 )。然而，用以將如此的給水源，或者來自該給水 供給於霧滴產生裝置的霧滴產生器之給水路徑，係 設置於洗衣機的上部側之情況較多，因而變爲使用 及的部分之情況較多。接著，如此之部分，也爲經 接連於霧滴產生裝置之部分，因而若產生來自霧滴 置之漏電等的話也爲可被施加高電壓之部分。因此 放電極之高電壓的施加爲不可或缺的霧滴產生裝置 洗衣機之情況時，被要求防止漏電、觸電等而提高 之結構。 根據本實施形態之霧滴產生裝置81，藉由介在 水後之水供給於放電極1 0 2的第1保水材9 9與將 於該第1保水材9 9的給水閥8 4之間的空間部9 6、 1保水材99與給水閥84之間變成電氣性地被絕緣 。藉此’可防止來自導電桿103之高電壓，被施加 者可觸及的給水路徑82之給水閥84側，並可安全 從放電極102之霧滴的噴出。 如此地’霧滴產生裝置81，係在往放電極1〇2 壓的施加爲不可或缺者中，可防止高電壓往使用者 的部分之施加’並可安全地進行從放電極〗〇 2之霧 出。因此’霧滴產生裝置8 1，係可實現防止漏電、 而提高安全性之結構’並可不會損及安全性地備置 可或缺 情況時 龍頭等 源的水 通常爲 者可觸 由水而 產生裝 ，將往 備置於 安全性 於將保 水供給 97，第 之狀態 於使用 地進行 之高電 可觸及 滴的噴 觸電等 於洗衣 -32- 201040349 機等。 並且，霧滴產生裝置81，係從給水閥84往U字收集 管85內之給水、與從該U字收集管85往霧滴產生器83 之給水之時機不同。藉此，可回避給水閥84與霧滴產生 器83經由水而相連之狀態，並可更加防止高電壓往使用 者可觸及的給水閥84側之施加。 0 (第8實施形態） 其次，關於本發明之第8實施形態，參照第12圖說 明之。第1 2圖中，在與第7實施形態同一部分賦予同一 符號。本實施形態，係有關霧滴產生裝置（相當於靜電霧 化裝置）之實施形態，其給水路徑之結構與上述之第7實 施形態不同。霧滴產生裝置111，係具備有霧滴產生器83 、及替代上述的給水路徑8 2之給水路徑1 1 2所構成。 給水路徑1 12 ’係從給水閥84至霧滴產生器83內之 Q 第1保水材99(參照第11圖）者。給水路徑112，係在 其一部分備置滴下水箱113。 該滴下水箱113，係整體形成矩形中空狀，且在上部 具有給水口 1 13a ’在底部具有排水口 n3b。並且，滴下 水箱1 1 3，係在其側部具有溢水口 1 1 3 c。 在給水口 113a’被插入有從給水閥84朝下方彎曲而 延伸之給水用管路114。該給水用管路114之前端部（第 1 2圖爲下側之端部）’係延伸於滴下水箱丨丨3內。該情況 ’給水用管路1 1 4之前端部，係延伸到比溢水口 n 3 ^更 -33- 201040349 高之位置。在排水口 113b，連通連接有排水用管路115。 在該排水用管路1 1 5之中途，設置有排水閥1 1 6。排水用 管路1 1 5之下端部，係從上方與從霧滴產生器8 3延伸的 導水部94之導水口 94a相對向，且形成與該導水口 94a 離間之狀態。藉此，在排水用管路1 1 5之下端部與導水口 94a之間形成有空間部1 17。 根據如此之結構，在排水閥1 1 6被關閉之狀態，從給 水閥84經由給水用管路1 1 4被供給於滴下水箱1 1 3內的 水，係逐漸地被蓄積於該滴下水箱H3內。接著’在被供 給於滴下水箱113內的水之水位超過溢水口 113c的高度 之情況時，從該溢水口 1 1 3 c溢出的水則會被排水於滴下 水箱1 1 3外部。藉此，滴下水箱1 1 3內之水位’係使不會 超過溢水口 1 1 3 c的高度地所構成。 於此，給水用管路1 1 4之下端部，係位於比溢水口 1 1 3 c的高度，即，可蓄水於滴下水箱Π 3內的最高水位更 高之位置。因此，則會在滴下水箱113內之上部形成有空 間部1 1 8。藉由如此地在滴下水箱Π 3內形碑空間部1 1 8 ，給水閥84與滴下水箱1 1 3內的水則會被隔離。如此地 ，在給水路徑1 1 2，則會形成有兩個空間部1 1 7、1 1 8。 排水閥1 1 6，係藉由適當調整其開度，使蓄積於滴下 水箱113內的水，通過排水用管路115而滴於導水部94 內。即，該排水閥1 1 6，係可發揮作爲：用以使滴下水箱 1 1 3內的水滴下而非連續性地流動之節流閥之功能。 根據本實施形態之霧滴產生裝置111，藉由介在於霧 -34- 201040349 滴產生器83內的第1保水材99、與將水供給於該第1保 水材9 9的給水閥8 4之間的空間部1 1 7、1 1 8，第1保水材 99與給水閥84之間變成電氣性地被絕緣之狀態。藉此， 可防止來自導電桿i 03之高電壓，被施加於使用者可觸及 之給水閥84側，並可安全地進行從放電極丨02之霧滴的 噴出。 如此地，霧滴產生裝置111，係在往放電極102之高 0 電壓的施加爲不可或缺者中，可防止高電壓往使用者可觸 及的部分之施加，並可安全地進行從放電極102之霧滴的

及的給水閥84側之施加。 並且，滴下水箱113內之水量變多時，水壓就會變大 。因此’即使調整排水閥1 1 6之開度，也難以使滴下水箱 113內的水滴於導水部94內。本實施形態中，霧滴產生裝 置1 1 1，係在滴下水箱1 1 3之側部設置溢水口丨丨3 ^。因此 ’滴下水箱1 1 3內之水量被限制於預定量（水位成溢水口 1 1 3 c的高度之水量）。藉此’可防止滴下水箱n 3內之水 -35- 201040349 壓變過大，並可使滴下水箱1 1 3內的水適當地滴於導水部 94內。又，藉由適當變更在滴下水箱113之溢水口 113c 的上下方向之位置，可調整滴下水箱113內之水壓，進而 從滴下水箱1 1 3之水的滴下量或滴下間隔。 又，霧滴產生裝置111，亦可並非將給水用管路114 之前端部插入於滴下水箱113內之結構。代替此，霧滴產 生裝置111，係亦可作成：藉由使給水用管路114之前端 部從上方與滴下水箱11 3之給水口 1 1 3 a相對向，且作成 與該給水口 1 1 3 a離間之狀態’而在給水閥84與滴下水箱 1 1 3之間形成空間部之結構。 (第9實施形態） 以下，關於本發明之第9實施形態’參照第13圖〜 第1 6圖說明之。本實施形態’係有關洗衣機之實施形態 。如第1 3圖所示，本實施形態中，洗衣機1，係爲並無設 置洗澡水用給水口 5之結構。並且’在操作面板8’設置 有用以顯示各種資訊（洗劑量和運轉時間等）之液晶顯示 部8a。並且，在操作面板8’設置有用以選擇含有後述之 除菌行程的各種運轉行程之開關’和用以使運轉開始、停 止之各種開關等。並且，控制裝置1 0 ’係肩負作爲執行後 述之霧滴產生程序的控制手段之功能、及作爲設定將水供 給於U字收集管8 5內之時間的設定手段之功能。 更且，在如此的結構之洗衣機1’備置有與在顯示於 上述之第8圖的第7實施形態所示同樣的霧滴產生裝置81 -36- 201040349 。其次，關於在該洗衣機1之霧滴產生裝置81之結構， 參照第14圖及第15圖說明之。 構成霧滴產生裝置81的給水路徑82之u字收集管 85，係在水槽12之背面，被配設於比馬達3〇更稍高之位 置（第1 5圖爲馬達3 0的側部之稍上方位置）。在u字收 集管8 5之給水口 8 5b，連通連接有從給水閥26延伸之給 水用管路121 (也參照第14圖）。即’給水閥26，係相 0 當於第8圖之給水閥84。給水用管路121，係相當於第8 圖之給水用管路86。在U字收集管85之排水口 85c，連 通連接有朝下方彎曲而延伸之排水用管路122。該排水用 管路122’係幾乎不彎曲地朝霧滴產生裝置81之霧滴產生 器83側延伸，並連通連接於該霧滴產生器83之導水部94 。即，排水用管路1 22，係相當於第8圖之排水用管路87 。又，該情況，排水用管路1 2 2之前端部，係密合而連接 於導水部94之導水口 94a (參照第8圖）。因此，在排水 〇 用管路122之前端部與導水口 94a之間並無形成開放於大 氣之空間部。 U字收集管85，係成爲經由溢水口 85d而連通於水槽 12內之狀態。即，水槽12，係相當於第8圖之緩衝用水 箱89。接著，連接於該水槽12的底部之排水軟管28 (參 照第14圖），係相當於第8圖之排水路90。配設在該排 水軟管2 8的中途之排水閥2 9 (參照第1 4圖），係相當於 第8圖之排水閥91。並且，配設在連通於水槽12之循環 風路43的中途之循環用送風機38,係相當於第8圖之加 -37- 201040349 壓裝置93。 另一方面，霧滴產生裝置81之霧滴產生器83，係在 構成循環風路43的中途部分之給風導管42中，備置於： 比溫風入口 23更上游，且於下游側超過連接軟管4 1 (參 照第14圖）之緊接的部分（第15圖中，係爲給風導管42 一面迂迴馬達30 —面朝上方延伸的部分之下端部分）。 接著，霧滴產生器8 3之放電極1 02，係以各自之前端部突 出於循環風路43的內部之方式所配設。 也如第14圖所示，藉由具有簷部43b之區隔板43a， 流動於循環風路43內的空氣（溫風）之一部分，係被供 給於霧滴產生器83側，且在通過放電極102及其周邊部 分之後則會與循環風路43合流（參照在第1 4圖以虛線顯 示之箭頭記號）。 霧滴產生器8 3之排水路徑1 04，係連通連接於排水軟 管28之中比排水閥29更下游之部分。因此，從霧滴產生 器83之蓄水箱部98a內溢出於排水路徑104的水，則會 通過該排水路徑1 04而被排水於排水軟管2 8。 又，雖未圖示，霧滴產生器83之導電桿103，係其基 端部被連接於洗衣機1之電源迴路的高電壓電源之負極（ 例如，-6kV )。藉此，來自高電壓電源之負的高電壓，則 會經由導電桿1 03、及含有水之第1保水材99及第2保水 材100而被施加於放電極102，且該放電極102則會帶負 電。 並且，該情況，經由接地線（未圖示）等而被接地之 -38- 201040349 筐體2(在並不與放電極102相對向且遠離該放電極i〇2 之位置所設置之構件），係可發揮作爲：與帶負電的放電 極1 02相對應之另一方的電極之功能。 在如此地所構成之洗衣機1中，控制裝置1 0，係可執 行除菌行程地所構成。該除菌行程係相當於霧滴產生程序 之行程，爲使霧滴產生裝置81動作而產生霧滴並將該霧 滴與流動於循環風路43內之空氣一起供給於水槽12內之 0 行程。於此，關於在執行該除菌行程的情況之藉由控制裝 置1 〇之控制內容，參照第16圖說明之。第16圖，係顯 示其控制內容之時間圖。又，在第1 6圖附以剖面線而顯 示之部分，控制裝置1 〇，則會驅動各構成要素（開放給水 閥26、驅動循環用送風機38、通電導電桿103)。 經由操作面板8選擇除菌行程時，在該除菌行程之初 期，控制裝置1 〇，係將給水閥26開放，而經由給水用管 路121、給水口 85b將水供給於u字收集管85內（在第 Q 16圖以符號A顯示之區間）。被供給的水，係逐漸被蓄 積於該U字收集管8 5內。該情況，控制裝置10，係預先 設定將從溢水口 8 5d水開始流出於u字收集管8 5內的量 之水供給之時間（設定手段）。接著，過了該設定時間時 ，控制裝置1 0，係將給水閥26關閉，並停止往U字收集 管8 5內之給水。藉此，控制裝置丨〇，係不會使U字收集 管8 5內的水從排水口 8 5 c排水，而將預定量（此情況， 水位成溢水口 85d的高度之水量）的水蓄積於該U字收集 管8 5內，並且在U字收集管8 5之上游部側形成空間部 -39- 201040349 9 7 (參照第1 5圖）。 其次，控制裝置1 〇，係在關閉給水閥26就這樣之狀 態（往U字收集管8 5內之給水停止之狀態），判斷預定 時間（殘留在給水用管路121內的水流出於U字收集管 85內的程度之時間）是否過了（在第1 6圖以符號B顯示 之區間）。接著，過了預定時間時，控制裝置1 0，就會以 高速旋轉（例如300〇rpm )驅動循環用送風機38，使水槽 12內之壓力（內壓）上升（在第16圖以符號C顯示之區 間）。又，此時，控制裝置1 0，則會作爲關閉排水閥29 之狀態（水槽1 2內剩下循環風路43而大致被密閉之狀態 )。藉此，水槽12內之壓力（內壓）則會效率佳地上升 〇 伴隨著水槽12之內壓上升，在經由溢水口 85d與該 水槽12內連通的狀態之U字收集管85內的空間部97之 內壓會上升。藉此，被蓄積在U字收集管8 5內的水，係 從該U字收集管85之上游部側朝向下游部側被推出而從 排水口 8 5 c被排水，並通過排水用管路8 7而被給水於導 水部94內。 完成往霧滴產生器8 3之給水時，控制裝置丨〇，就會 判斷預定時間（在第1 1圖蓄積在蓄水箱部9 8 a內的水經 由吸水構件1 〇 1、第1保水材99等而被供給於放電極1 〇2 的程度之時間）是否過了（在第16圖以符號D顯示之區 間）。接著，過了預定時間時’控制裝置1 〇，就會由高電 壓電源通電於導電桿103而使霧滴產生裝置81動作（在 -40- 201040349 第16圖以符號E顯示之區間）。藉此，來自高電壓電源 之負的高電壓’會經由導電桿103、第1保水材99及第2 保水材100被施加於放電極102，而該放電極102會帶負 電。藉此’含有具有強氧化作用的羥基之霧滴會從放電極 102之前端部被噴出。 此時，控制裝置1 0，係以低速旋轉（例如比在上述給 水時之旋轉速度更低之1 500rpm)驅動循環用送風機38， 0 使水槽12內之空氣通過循環風路43而循環。藉此，從霧 滴產生裝置81噴出之含有羥基的霧滴，則會與流動於循 環風路4 3內之空氣（溫風）一起被供給於水槽12內。接 著，藉由如此地被供給之羥基，則可將水槽1 2內之洗滌 物（衣類等）除菌和脫臭。該情況，控制裝置1 0，係以比 往霧滴產生器8 3之水供給時（參照以符號c顯示之區間 )更低之旋轉速度驅動循環用送風機3 8。因此，流動於循 環風路43內之風量變弱，一面可防止放電極1〇2之乾燥 Q ，一面可將霧滴供給於水槽12內。 又’在上述除菌行程中’使用者係經由設置在操作面 板8之模式選擇鈕（未圖示），可選擇第1模式及第2模 式之兩種模式。選擇第1模式之情況，控制裝置1 〇，則會 往水槽12內之霧滴的供給（循環用送風機38之驅動及往 導電桿103之通電）’並且以預定的低速旋轉（例如 5〇rpm)使滾筒13正反旋轉。該第1模式，係適於進行亦 可被攪拌之洗滌對象（可旋轉者，例如大衣、女西服褲、 圍巾等）的除菌之情況。另一方面，選擇第2模式之情況 -41 - 201040349 ，控制裝置1 0，則會在往水槽1 2內之霧滴的供給時， 使滾筒13旋轉。該第2模式，係適於進行不希望被攪 之洗滌對象（不可旋轉者，例如布偶、手提包、皮革製 等）的除菌之情況。 如上所說明地根據本實施形態，在除菌行程中，含 具有強氧化作用的羥基之霧滴被噴出循環風路43內， 與流動於循環風路43內的空氣（溫風）一起被供給於 槽12內。藉此，則可將水槽12內之洗滌物（衣類等） 菌和脫臭。 接著，藉由在U字收集管85內所形成之空間部97 可維持在霧滴產生器83內的第1保水材99與給水閥 之間的電氣性的絕緣狀態，並可防止高電壓往使用者可 及之給水閥8 4側之施加。 又，該情況，洗衣機1，係將與藉由來自高電壓電 之負的高電壓而帶負電之放電極102相對應之另一方之 極，並不設置於該放電極102之近旁。因而，來自放電 102之放電本身則非常平穩。因此，不會產生電暈放電 可抑制有害氣體（臭氧、或藉由該臭氧氧化空氣中的氮 產生的氮氧化物、亞硝酸、硝酸等）之產生。 又，霧滴產生器83，係只要爲循環風路43之中途 分可設置於任意之部分。但是，如本實施形態所示，設 於循環風路43之中藉由給風導管42所構成之部分爲較 想。給風導管42，係構成比在循環風路43之蒸發器46 凝縮器47更下游之部分。因此，在該部分產生的羥基 不 拌 品 有 並 水 除 26 觸 源 電 極 而 部 置 理 及 -42 - 201040349 則不易受到蒸發器46的冷卻作用及凝縮器47的 之影響。 (第1 〇實施形態） 以下，關於本發明之第1 〇實施形態，參照_ 明之。又，關於與上述之第15圖所示之第9實 一部分係省略說明，只說明關於不同之部分。本 Q ，係爲：在上述之第9實施形態所示之結構中， 水槽1 2之背面備置有溢水收集管1 3 1之實施形態 溢水收集管1 3 1，係在水槽1 2之背面中，配 字收集管85更低之位置。該溢水收集管1 3 1，係 字收集管85於上下方向變大之相似形狀，整體 下方向較長之中空狀，且在其內部具有下端開口 1 3 1 a。藉此，在該溢水收集管1 3 1之內部，形成 大致U字狀之水路，成爲可蓄水於該水路部分之 Q 溢水收集管1 3 1，係在上游部（第1 7圖中爲溢 1 3 1的右側之上端部分）具有給水口 1 3 1 b，且在 第1 7圖中爲溢水收集管1 3 1的左側之比上下方 更上側部分）具有排水口 1 3 1 c。 在給水口 1 3 1 b，連通連接有從給水閥26延 用管路132。在排水口 131c，連通連接有朝下方 伸之排水用管路1 3 3。雖未圖示，該排水用管路 被連通連接於排水軟管28之中比排水閥29更下 加熱作用 I 1 7圖說 施形態同 實施形態 更且，在 〇 設於比U 形成將U 形成於上 之區隔部 有斷面成 結構。該 水收集管 下游部（ 向中央部 伸之給水 彎曲而延 133，係 游之部分 -43- 201040349 溢水收集管131之上游部，係通過設在水槽12的背 面之溢水流出口 12a而被連通連接於該水槽12。該溢水流 出口 12a，係當水槽12內之水量超過預定量（水位成溢水 流出口 1 2a的高度之水量）時，用以將溢出的水予以排水 於水槽12外（該情況，溢水收集管1 3 1內）者。藉此， 即使例如發生給水閥26之故障等，且水槽1 2內之水位超 過設定水位而異常地高漲，超過預定量的水也會從溢水流 出口 1 2 a被排水。 又，上述的U字收集管85之溢水口 85d，係被設置 於比水槽1 2之溢水流出口 1 2 a更高之位置。藉此，即使 水槽1 2內之水位異常地高漲，水槽1 2內之水，也會在其 水位達到U字收集管85的溢水口 85d之前從溢水流出口 12 a被排水。因此，來自水槽12之溢水則不會流入u字 收集管8 5內。 並且，本實施形態中’係將用以往U字收集管85內 之給水的專用給水閥134與上述給水閥26另外設置。接 者’在U字收集管85之給水口 85b，連通連接有從專用 給水閥1 34延伸之給水用管路〗3 5。藉此，可將專用給水 閥1；34與給水閥26另外獨立而控制，且可只給水需要的 水量於U字收集管85內。因此，不會使被給水於該u字 收集管8 5內的水浪費地排出。 其次’說明關於本實施形態之作用。 在各種運轉行程之洗衣程序，或者洗清程序中，控制 裝置1 〇，係使給水閥26開放，而經由給水盒25等對於水 -44 - 201040349 槽1 2內進行給水。與此同時地，控制裝置1 0，係經由給 水用管路132，從給水口 131b對於溢水收集管13ι內進行 給水。 因而，往溢水收集管1 3 1內之給水，係在進行往水槽 1 2內的給水之間，被繼續。因此’被給水於溢水收集管 131內的水，並非滯留於該溢水收集管131內，超過排水 口 131c而繼續流動，並經由溢水用管路133、排水軟管 0 28而流出於洗衣機1外部。控制裝置10，係水槽12內之 水位達到設定水位時，就會關閉給水閥26，而停止往水槽 12內之給水及與此相隨的‘往溢水收集管131內之給水。藉 此，預定量（水位成排水口 1 3 1 c的高度之水量）的水則 會殘留，且被蓄水於溢水收集管1 3 1內。 烘乾程序中，控制裝置1 〇，係在關閉排水閥29之狀 態，使循環用送風機3 8、蒸發器46、凝縮器47動作而將 溫風供給於水槽12內’且將水槽12內（滾筒13內）之 Q 洗滌物烘乾。 在如此的烘乾程序中，經由溢水流出口 1 2 a而連通於 水槽12內之溢水收集管131，係藉由被蓄積於內部的水， 變成其通氣性被隔斷之狀態。因此，即使被供給於水槽1 2 內的溫風之一部分從溢水流出口 l2a流入溢水收集管131 內，其溫風也不會從排水口 131c脫離而漏出於洗衣機1 外部。即，水槽12內部，係變成剩下循環風路43而大致 被密閉之狀態。 接著，藉由將溫風供給於被維持如此的密閉狀態之水 -45- 201040349 槽12內，該水槽12內之壓力（內壓）會上升。該情況， 因爲U字收集管85，係比溢水收集管13 1更小，所以蓄 積在U字收集管85內之水量，係比蓄積在溢水收集管 1 3 1內之水量更少。因此，即使爲藉由從溢水流出口 1 2 a 流入之溫風而溢水收集管131內之內壓不會上升之狀態， 藉由從溢水口 85d流入之溫風而U字收集管85內的空間 部97之內壓也會上升。接著，隨著空間部97之內壓上升 ，蓄積在U字收集管85內的水，係從該U字收集管85 之上游部側朝向下游部側被推出而從排水口 8 5 c被排水。 接著，從排水口 8 5 c被排水之水，係通過排水用管路1 22 而被給水於霧滴產生器8 3之導水部94內。即，在烘乾程 序之風量，雖無法將溢水收集管1 3 1內的水推出而使排出 ，但被設定成可將U字收集管85內的水推出而使排出之 風量（例如，將循環用送風機 38之旋轉速度作爲 3000rpm時之風量）。 如以上說明般地根據本實施形態，在於水槽1 2之背 面備置有溢水流出口 l2a之結構中，將U字收集管85之 溢水口 85d，設置於比該溢水流出口 12a更高之位置。藉 此，可回避來自水槽12之溢水流入於u字收集管85內而 該U字收集管85內就會被水塡滿。因此，可適當地維持 在U字收集管8 5內形成有空間部97之狀態，即，霧滴產 生器83內的第1保水材99與給水閥26、134之間電氣性 地被絕緣之狀態，並可更加防止高電壓往使用者可觸及之 給水閥2 6、1 3 4側之施加。 -46 - 201040349 (第1 1實施形態） 以下，關於本發明之第實施形態’參照第18圖說 明之。又，關於與上述之第1 〇實施形態同一部分係省略 說明，只說明關於不同之部分。本實施形態’係爲：在水 槽12之背面備置有溢水收集管131的結構之變形實施形 態。 q 於U字收集管85之側部中，在比溢水口 85d更低之 位置，設置有連結口 85e。在連結口 85e，連通連接有連 結管路1 3 6之一端。本實施形態中，在U字收集管8 5之 給水口 85b，連通連接有從給水閥26延伸之給水用管路 121 ° 另一方面’在溢水收集管131之上部，設置有連結口 131d。在該連結口 131d，連通連接有將一端連接於U字 收集管85之連結口 85e的連結管路136之另一端。 Q 根據如此之結構’在被供給於U字收集管8 5內的水 之水位超過連結口 85e的高度之情況時，從該連結口 85e 溢出的水會經由連結管路1S6而流出於溢水收集管131內 。藉此，可回避U字收集管85內會被水塡滿而維持霧滴 產生器83內的第1保水材99與給水閥26之間的電氣性 的絕緣狀態。並且’可將過剩地被供給於該U字收集管 8 5內的水’利用作爲用以蓄水於溢水收集管丨3 1內的水。 並且’可將來自單一的給水閥26的水，供給於U字 收集管8 5及溢水收集管i 3丨之雙方，且可作成簡便的給 -47- 201040349 水構造。 (第1 2實施形態） 其次，關於本發明之第12實施形態，參照第19圖 明之。又，關於與上述之第12圖所示之第8實施形態 一部分係省略說明’只說明關於不同之部分。本實施形 ，係爲：在水槽1 2之背面，使用滴下水箱1 1 3構成霧 產生裝置之實施形態。 滴下水箱1 1 3，係在水槽1 2之背面中，配設於比馬 30稍高之位置（第19圖中爲馬達30的側部之稍上方位 )。在滴下水箱1 1 3之給水口 1 1 3 a，連通連接有從給水 26延伸之給水用管路121。即，給水閥26，係相當於在 1 2圖之給水閥8 4。給水用管路1 2 1，係相當於在第1 2 之給水用管路1 1 4。並且，該情況也是，給水用管路1 之前端部，係延伸到比設置在滴下水箱1 1 3的側部之溢 口 113c更高之位置。 在滴下水箱1 1 3之排水口 1 1 3 b，連通連接有排水用 路1 3 7。在該排水用管路1 3 7之中途，設置有排水閥1 。即，排水用管路1 3 7，係相當於在第1 2圖之排水用管 1 1 5。排水閥1 3 8，係相當於在第1 2圖之排水閥1 1 6。 排水用管路1 3 7，係幾乎無彎曲地延伸於霧滴產生器8 3 ，並連通連接於該霧滴產生器83之導水部94。又，該 況，排水用管路1 3 7之前端部，係密合而連接於導水部 之導水口 94a (參照第12圖）。因此，在排水用管路1 說 同 態 滴 達 置 閥 第 圖 2 1 水 管 38 路 該 側 情 94 -48- 37 201040349 之前端部與導水口 94a之間並無形成開放於大氣之空間部 〇 在滴下水箱113之溢水口 H3c，連通連接有朝下方彎 曲而延伸之排水用管路139。雖未圖示，但該排水用管路 139，係連通連接於排水軟管28之中比排水閥29更下游 之部分。 根據如此之結構，在滴下水箱1 1 3內，蓄積有水位成 0 溢水口 113c的高度之水量的水，且在該滴下水箱113內 形成有空間部118。接著，如此地藉由在滴下水箱113內 所形成之空間部118，可維持在霧滴產生器83內的第1保 水材99與給水閥26之間的電氣性的絕緣狀態，並可防止 高電壓往使用者可觸及之給水閥26側之施加。 並且，藉由適當調整排水閥138之開度，可使蓄積於 滴下水箱113內的水，通過排水用管路137而滴於導水部

[Technical Field] The present invention relates to a washing machine configured to circulate air in a tank through a circulation path, and a mist generating device provided in the washing machine [Prior Art] Q For this type of washing machine, for example, a heat pump is provided. The washing machine is provided with an evaporator that cools and dehumidifies air flowing in the circulation air passage, and heats the air flowing in the circulation air passage, in a circulation air passage (circulation path) that is connected to the tank. Condenser. Next, the washing machine is circulated in the drying process, and the air in the tank is circulated through the circulation air passage by the circulation fan, and the air (warm air) heated by the condenser is supplied into the tank, and the The air discharged from the tank is cooled and dehumidified by an evaporator. In the washing machine, the drying of the clothes in the tank is performed by repeating such an operation. Such a drying process is carried out after the laundry process of the clothes in the washing tank. However, the bacteria or the like attached to the clothes may not be completely removed in the washing process, and may become unsanitary, or cause odor, mold, or the like, or discoloration of the clothes. In particular, in recent years, in order to save water, there is a case where washing water containing a lot of bacteria or the like is used as a washing water in a washing program. In this case, there is a tendency that the amount of residual bacteria or the like remaining attached to the clothes will increase. In addition, as a device described in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2006-26 No. 1 (Prior Art Document No. 1), it is considered to be a device for removing bacteria, malodorous substances, and harmful substances. The apparatus includes a discharge electrode, a counter electrode facing the discharge electrode, and a Peltier device for generating water at the discharge electrode. Next, a high voltage is applied between the discharge electrode and the counter electrode to generate a hydroxyl radical having a strong oxidizing action. Thereby, bacteria, malodorous components, harmful substances, and the like are removed. When the apparatus described in the above-mentioned prior art document 1 is installed in the middle of the circulation air passage of the washing machine, it is considered that the hydroxyl group can be supplied into the tank together with the warm air for drying, and can be removed after the washing procedure. In the clothing and other fungi. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the apparatus described in the prior art document 1 has a structure in which a discharge electrode and a counter electrode are opposed to each other. Therefore, a corona discharge is generated between the discharge electrode and the counter electrode, and along with this, ozone or nitrogen oxides are generated. Such ozone or nitrogen oxides are deodorizing clothes, or causing odors, and are gases harmful to the human body. In particular, a drum type washing machine having a high airtightness is likely to cause a harmful gas (ozone or nitrogen oxide) to remain in the tank. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the user is exposed to harmful gases when the clothes are put in and taken out. As a means of solving such a problem, it is considered to lock the lid of the tank until the toxic gas produced is destroyed. However, such a structure cannot be taken out immediately after the completion of the laundry -6- , 201040349, and it is inconvenient to use. [Means for Solving the Problem] An object of the present invention is to provide a washing machine which does not generate harmful gas and which can generate a hydroxyl group, can perform sterilization and deodorization of clothes in a tank, and is provided in the washing machine A droplet generating device. A washing machine according to the present invention is characterized in that: a circulation path that communicates with the groove 0, a blowing means that circulates air in the groove through the circulation path, and a cooling and dehumidifying air flowing in the circulation path are provided The dehumidification means and the heating means for heating the air flowing in the circulation path are provided with an electrostatic atomization device which is made of a porous material having water absorption, water retention and suction characteristics. And a water-retaining means for forming the front end portion protruding from the inside of the circulation path and a porous material having water retention property, and supplying water after the water retention to the discharge electrode, and water supply The water supply means of the Q segment of the water retainer and the high voltage application means for applying a negative high voltage to the discharge electrode to negatively charge the discharge electrode. According to the washing machine of the present invention, the water retained by the water retaining means is supplied to the discharge electrode whose front end portion protrudes inside the circulation path. Next, for the discharge electrode to which water is supplied, a negative high voltage is applied by a high voltage application means. Thereby, the water at the end portion of the discharge electrode is split and sprayed in the form of a droplet in the inside of the circulation path. Here, the water particles ejected in the form of droplets are negatively charged and contain a hydroxyl group generated by the energy thereof. Therefore, the hydroxyl group having a strong oxidation effect is supplied to the tank in 201040349 together with the air flowing in the circulation air passage, and the clothes in the tank can be sterilized or deodorized. In this case, the other electrode corresponding to the negative electrode that is negatively charged by the high voltage applying means is not provided in the vicinity of the discharge electrode. Thus, the discharge from the discharge electrode itself is very stable. Therefore, unlike the conventional structure in which corona discharge is generated between the discharge electrode and the counter electrode, generation of harmful gases such as ozone or nitrogen oxides can be suppressed. The droplet generating device of the present invention is characterized in that it comprises a discharge electrode formed of a porous material having water absorbability, water retention property, and suction property, and a porous material having water retention property, and is provided with water retention. The water retaining means for supplying the rear water to the discharge electrode, the water supply means for supplying water to the water retaining means, and the high voltage generated by the droplet from the discharge electrode by applying a negative high voltage to the discharge electrode The means is applied, and a space portion is provided in a portion of the water supply path from the water supply means to the water retaining means. According to the mist generating device of the present invention, since the washing machine is configured such that the air in the tank circulates through the circulation path, the same effect as the washing machine of the present invention can be obtained.

Thereby, the tap water from the tap water for tap water or the bath water from the bath water supply port 5 is supplied to the water by the water supply valve 26, the water supply tank 25, and the water supply hose 24; P, can be enclosed by the door in the order of the order. Rolling. The ground is equipped with 4 more in the transition t 25 water supply P 4 will be milled inside 12 -10- 201040349. Further, in the water supply cartridge 25, a lotion (a lotion, a softener, a bleach, etc.) is introduced through the lotion-input unit 9. These washings are supplied to the water tank 12 together with tap water or bath water at the rear of the bottom of the water tank 12, and a drain port 27 is formed. The drain port 27 is connected to a draining soft | (corresponding to a drain path) connected to the outside of the washing machine 1. A water valve 29 is provided in the middle of the drain hose 28. Thereby, the water in the water tank 12 can be drained outside the machine. Q A motor 30 is attached to the back portion of the water tank 12. The shaft 31 of the motor 30 protrudes into the water tank 12. At the front end of the rotating shaft 31, there is a central portion of the end face on the rear side of the drum 13. Thereby, the drum is rotatably supported coaxially in the water tank 12. That is, the washing machine 1 is configured to directly rotate the drum 13 by the motor 30, and adopts a direct driving method of borrowing 30. Further, the motor 30 is in this case a gearless type brushless DC motor. The water tank 12 is supported by the casing 2 by a plurality of suspensions 32 (only one of which is shown). The support form of the water tank 12 is such that the direction of the water tank 12 is a horizontal axis shape in the front-rear direction, and the front side is inclined, and the drum 13 supported in the water tank 12 as described above also has the same shape. . Below the water tank 12 (on the bottom surface of the casing 2), 33 is disposed. Ventilation 34 extending in the front-rear direction is disposed on the bottom plate 33. The ventilation duct 34 has an air suction port at an upper portion of the front end portion. The air suction port 35 connects the warm air outlet 22 of the water tank 12 via a connecting hose 36 and a return air duct 37. Further, the return air duct 37 is attached to the f 28 in a row by means of a roundabout, and is a shaft that is bounced from outside the horse. The tube is connected to the side of the opening portion 14 of the water tank -11 - 201040349 1 2 by the phased bottom plate duct 35 〇. At the rear end of the ventilation duct 34, an outer casing 39 for the circulation blower 38 is connected. The outlet portion 40 of the outer casing 39 is connected to the warm air inlet 23 of the water tank 12 via a connection hose 41 and a supply duct 42. Further, as shown in Fig. 4, the air supply duct 42 is piped so as to be turned to the right side of the motor 30 from the back side of the water tank 12 (washing machine 1). Here, the return duct 37, the connection hose 36, the ventilation duct 34, the casing 39 of the circulation blower 38, the connection hose 41, and the air supply duct 42 constitute a circulation air passage 43 that is connected to the water tank 12 (corresponding to In the loop path). The circulating blower 3 8 is constituted by a centrifugal fan. That is, the circulation blower 38 has a centrifugal impeller 44' inside the outer casing 39 and a motor 45 for rotating the centrifugal impeller 44 outside the outer casing 39. The circulation blower 38 can function as a blowing means for circulating the air in the water tank 12 (in the drum 13) as indicated by an arrow symbol in Fig. 3 through the circulation air passage 43. In the circulation duct 43, inside the ventilation duct 34, an evaporator 46 (corresponding to a dehumidification means) is disposed in the front portion, and a condenser 47 (corresponding to a heating means) is disposed in the rear portion. Although the evaporator 46 and the condenser 47 are not shown in detail, they are those in which the heat transfer fins are arranged at a small pitch and are formed with a fin. Therefore, the evaporators 46 and the condensers 47 are excellent in heat exchangeability, and the wind flowing in the ventilation ducts 34 (see the arrow symbol in the solid line in Fig. 3) passes through the heat transfer fins. Between each. The evaporator 46 and the condenser 47' constitute a heat pump 49 together with the compressor 48 and the unillustrated flow -12-201040349 quantity control valve (for example, an electronic control valve). In the heat pump 49, the refrigerant circulation pipe is connected in the order of the compressor 48, the condenser 47, the flow rate control valve, and the evaporator 46, thereby constituting a refrigeration cycle. The drive of the compressor 48 and the flow control valve is controlled by the control unit 10. The control device 10 circulates the air in the water tank 12 through the circulation air passage 43 by operating the circulation blower 38 as described above. And Q and the control device 1 循环 circulate the refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle by actuating the compressor 48 and the flow control valve. Then, the air flowing in the circulation air path 43 is cooled and dehumidified by the evaporator 46, and heated by the condenser 47 to be warmed and weathered. Thereby, the control device 10 is configured to supply warm air to the inside of the water tank 12 and to dry the laundry in the water tank 12 (in the drum 13). In the washing machine 1 of such a configuration, the electrostatic atomizing device 50 is provided in the middle portion of the circulation air passage 43. The electrostatic atomizing device 50 is disposed in the air supply duct 42 that is a part of the circulation air passage 43 as shown in FIG. 4, and is disposed upstream of the warm air inlet 23 and is more than the connecting hose 41. The downstream side exceeds the immediately adjacent portion of the downstream side end of the connection hose 41 (in Fig. 4, the lower end portion of the portion of the air supply duct 42 that faces the motor 30 to face upward). Next, the structure of the electrostatic atomization device 50 will be described with reference to Fig. 1 . The electrostatic atomization device 50 is provided with a plurality of discharge electrodes 52 and a droplet generator composed of a water retaining material 53 (corresponding to a water retention means), a conductive rod 54, and the like, in a case 51' attached to the outside of the circulation air path 43. And water supply means -13 - 201040349. The electrode 5 2 is formed of a porous material (for example, a felt made of a fibrous polyester) having water absorbing property, water retention property, and suction property, and each end portion (in the first drawing, A pin shape is formed for the upper end portion). The plurality of discharge electrodes 52 are fixed to the fixing plate 55 so as to pass through a fixing plate 55 made of an insulating material (for example, a resin such as polypropylene). Further, the plurality of discharge electrodes 52 are provided so that the respective front end portions protrude from the inside of the circulation air passage 43. The plurality of discharge electrodes 52 are composed of a discharge electrode 52a disposed at the center portion and a plurality of discharge electrodes 52b arranged concentrically around the discharge electrode 52a. In this case, the discharge electrode 52a at the center portion is formed longer than the surrounding discharge electrode 52b. The base end portion of the discharge electrode 52a (the lower end portion in Fig. 1) extends through the reservoir portion 51a (corresponding to the water storage tank) provided below the discharge electrode 52 in the casing 51. The water retaining material 53 is formed of a porous material (for example, a urethane sponge) having water retention properties, and is disposed below the fixing plate 55. In the water retaining material 53, a plurality of discharge electrodes 52 are inserted in a passing manner. Thereby, the outer portion (the portion on the lower side in the first drawing) of the circulation air passage 43 in the discharge electrode 52 is in a state of being covered by the water retaining material 53. In the water storage tank portion 51a, a water supply path 56 extending from the water supply valve 26 (see also Fig. 3) is connected, and the water supply means is configured to supply water to the water retaining material 53. In this case, the water supply valve 26 is switchable so that only the tap water supply port 4 of the two water supply ports 4, 5 is opened to the water supply path 56. Therefore, part of the tap water from the tap water supply port 4 is supplied with water to the water tank portion 51a via the -14 - 201040349 water valve 26 and the water supply path 56. Then, the water supplied into the water storage tank portion 51a is sucked (absorbed) through the discharge electrode 52a of the water storage tank portion 51a to be supplied to the water retaining material 53. The water supplied to the water retaining material 53 is in the water permeable material 53, and water is supplied to the discharge electrode 52a and the discharge. Here, the water supply valve 26 can function as a part of the water supply means for supplying water to the water retaining material 53 via the water supply port 4, the water supply path 56, the water storage tank portion 51a, and the discharge electrode 0. Further, the discharge electrode 52a is not only supplied from the water retaining material 53, but also contains the discharge electrode 5 2 a itself from the water storage tank portion 51 1 a. Further, since the discharge electrode 5 2 b is concentrically centered on the discharge electrode 5 2 a , the discharge electrode 52 a is infiltrated into the water retaining material 53 and is equally supplied to the surrounding discharge electrode 52 b. Further, an overflow path 57 (also referred to as a Q diagram) extending in a portion of the drainage soft collar that is further downstream than the drain valve 29 is connected to the water storage tank portion 51a. The overflow path 57, the end portion 57a, extends into the interior of the reservoir. Thereby, the water level can be reached in the water amount (the water level shown by the broken line, for example, less than 1 c c ) in the water level in the end portion 5 1a. When the water level in the water tank portion 51a reaches the end portion 57a, the water in the tank portion 51a overflows from the end portion 57a. The overflowed water is drained to the drain hose 2 8 via the overflow path 57. The conductive rod 54' is a front end portion thereof, and is passed through the water retaining material 53 to be fixed to the plate 55. Further, the conductive rod 54 is a base end portion thereof, and is extended by the high-voltage power source 58 of the power supply circuit (not shown) of the clothespin 1, and is passed through the pole 52b of the tap water 52a, and the water of the water is supplied. The water in the water tank that is placed in the water tank of the first section of the 3rd 51st, the water tank is fixed to the negative electrode ( -15- 201040349, for example, -6kV). Thereby, the negative high voltage from the high voltage power source 58 is applied to the discharge electrode 52 via the conductive rod 54 and the water retaining material 53 containing water, and the discharge electrode 52 is negatively charged. That is, the conductive rod 54 and the high-voltage power source 58 constitute a high-voltage applying means for applying a negative high voltage to the discharge electrode 52 to negatively charge the discharge electrode 52. Further, in this case, the casing 2' of the washing machine 1 is grounded via a grounding wire (not shown) or the like. Then, the housing 2 thus grounded (a member that is not disposed at a position facing away from the discharge electrode 52 in the vicinity of the discharge electrode 52) can function as a negative electrode discharge electrode 52. The function of the other electrode (opposite pole) is formed. Further, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, a portion of the circulation air passage 43 where the electrostatic atomization device 50 is provided is provided with a partition plate 43a. The partition plate 43a has a crotch portion 43b' which is inclined downward and is provided to face the upper side of the discharge electrode 52 of the electrostatic atomizing device 50. Thereby, a part of the air (warm air) flowing in the circulation air path 43 is supplied to the electrostatic atomization device 50 side, and merges with the circulation air path 43 after passing through the discharge electrode 52 and its peripheral portion (refer to Figure 3 shows the arrow symbol in dotted lines). The water stored in the water storage tank portion 51a by the washing machine 1' having the electrostatic atomizing device 50 configured as described above is supplied to the water retaining material 53 via the discharge electrode 52a. The water retained in the water retaining material 53 is supplied to the discharge electrode 52 whose tip end protrudes inside the circulation air passage 43. Next, a negative high voltage from the high voltage power source 58 is applied to the discharge electrode 5 2 to which water is supplied. At this time, the electric charge is concentrated on the discharge electrode 5 2. The front end' gives energy beyond the surface tension to the water at the front end containing -16 - 201040349. With this, The water at the front end of the electrode 52 splits (Rayleigh splitting). The mist is sprayed out of the inside of the circulation air path 43. which is, Electrostatic atomization occurs. herein, Water particles sprayed in the form of droplets, Leash negative, It also contains hydroxyl groups generated by its energy. Therefore, the hydroxyl group with strong oxidation, Then, it is supplied into the water tank 12 together with the air (warm air) flowing in the circulation air path 43. The laundry (clothing, etc.) in the water tank 12 can be sterilized or deodorized. In this case, Washing machine 1, The other electrode corresponding to the discharge electrode 52 which is negatively charged by the negative high voltage from the high voltage power supply 5 8 is It is not disposed near the discharge electrode 52. thus, The discharge from the discharge electrode 52 itself is very stable. therefore, Unlike the conventional structure in which a corona discharge is generated between the discharge electrode and the counter electrode, Can suppress harmful gases (ozone, Or nitrogen oxides produced by oxidizing nitrogen in the air by the ozone, Nitrous acid, Production of nitric acid, etc.). Q Therefore, Drum type washing machine 1, It is provided with a sill 6 and a bellows 17 when the laundry is put into and taken out. It is a structure with high airtightness. among them, There is also no residual harmful gas in the water tank 12, And when the washings are put in and taken out, There is no user exposure to harmful gases. And , There is no such thing as discoloration or odor caused by harmful gases. and, Thanks to the washing machine 1, In this way, the generation of harmful gases can be suppressed, Therefore, there is no need to provide a structure for removing harmful gases (for example, Ozone decomposition catalyst). -17- 201040349 Also, In the water tank portion 51a, It is the tap water of the water supply 4 of the water supply. then, In the water tank portion 51a, It is not supplied with bath water from the bath water supply port 5. The bath water contains a larger amount of bacteria or minerals than tap water (for example, Calcium or ). therefore, In the water tank portion 51a, it is not easy to be hygienic by bacteria or the like. and, The mineral content contained in the bath water does not reach the discharge electrode 52, so that no mineral deposits are aggregated at the discharge electrode 52 and scale formation is accumulated. therefore, The discharge electrode 52 does not cause clogging and maintains good water permeability. It prevents the amount of spray of mist droplets (water that is sprayed in the form of droplets) from decreasing. and, The durability of the discharge electrode 52 can be lengthened. also, Electrostatic atomization device 50, Any part of the circulation air path 43 may be provided in any part. but, As shown in this embodiment, It is desirable to place the portion of the circulation duct 43 which is constituted by the air duct 42. Air duct 42, The portion is formed further downstream than the evaporator and condenser 47 of the circulation air passage 43. therefore, The hydroxyl group produced in this portion is less susceptible to the cooling action of the evaporator 46 and the heating of the condenser 47. (Second embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In this embodiment, The discharge electrode 52 of the mist generator is used to carry the platinum colloid. The white gold colloidal body is immersed, for example, in the discharge electrode 5 2 containing the platinum nano colloid treatment liquid. By burning this, it can be carried. White is not a magnesium, but the granules are set to be more than 46 bases. -18- 201040349 When platinum is reduced (micronized) to nanometer size (for example, 'particle size 2 to 5 nm), The microparticles (white gold nanoparticles) will have a potential. Then, When a negative charge is applied to such a platinum nanoparticle via the discharge electrode 52, The potential of the platinum nanoparticle (oxidation recurrent potential) becomes negative. When the air in the circulation air path 43 is in contact with the oxidized return element potential to become a negative platinum nanoparticle, It promotes the potential shift from oxygen molecules on its platinum nanoparticles. And an oxygen atom with a negative charge can be generated. The oxygen atom with a negative charge of 0, By changing its energy to an oxy group, And separated from the platinum nanoparticles, It is sprayed out of the circulation air path 43. Sprayed out of the oxygen base in the circulation air path 43, It is in contact with the water particles which are sprayed into a mist droplet in the circulation air passage 43. With this, Hydroxyl groups can be formed. also, Even if the discharge electrode 52 is carried and does not become as small as a nanometer-sized platinum particle, Such platinum particles also have a positive charge. therefore, It is impossible to form an oxy group or a hydroxyl group having a strong oxidation. According to this embodiment, By the platinum nanoparticle colloid carried by the discharge electrode 52, Then, a hydroxyl group is easily generated in the circulation air path 43. The sterilization function and the deodorizing function in the water tank 12 of the electrostatic atomizing device 50 can be further improved. (Third embodiment) Next, A third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In this embodiment, The water retaining material 53' in the mist generator is formed of a fibrous ion exchange resin. Not a polyurethane sponge. Therefore, the outer portion of the circulation air path 43 among the discharge electrodes 52, A structure covered by an ion exchange resin is formed. In this case, Ion exchange resin, It is formed by mixing a strongly acidic ion exchange resin with a strong -19-201040349 alkaline ion exchange resin. According to such a structure, Before the tap water from the tap water supply port 4 is supplied to the discharge electrode 52, The mineral content contained in the tap water, Then it is adsorbed and removed by the ion exchange resin. therefore, It prevents the scale from accumulating at the discharge electrode 52. With this, The water permeability of the discharge electrode 52 can be well maintained. And the discharge electrode 52 can be properly negatively charged. therefore, It can prevent the amount of spray of mist from falling. and, The durability of the discharge electrode 52 itself can be lengthened. and, Since the ion exchange resin is fibrous, Therefore, it is difficult to flow out from the water retaining material 53. also, Water retention material 5 3, A water-absorbent resin can also be used (for example, Cellulose, Sodium polyacrylate, Polyvinyl alcohol resin, A polyamine resin or the like is formed by mixing with an ion exchange resin. With this, The water retention capacity of the water retaining material 53 will increase. The water supplied to the discharge electrode 52 is not easily deficient, and the supply of water to the discharge electrode 52 can be performed uniformly. It does not matter as a water-absorbent resin, which is fibrous or granular. However, a larger surface area per weight is preferred. and, Although there is an ion exchange resin flowing out, However, it is not necessary to form the water retaining material 53 as a whole by the fibrous ion exchange resin. For example, it is also possible to mix the ion exchange resin having a particle diameter of several tens of micrometers to several hundreds of micrometers in a urethane sponge to form the water retaining material 53. . and, For example, the ion exchange resin may be housed in a water-permeable box provided with a plurality of holes. The method is provided in the water storage tank portion 51a. Further, it is also possible to provide a column filled with an ion exchange resin, for example, in the middle of the water supply path 56. The key is 'as long as the water is supplied to the discharge pole 52, The water can be contacted with the ion exchange resin to remove the mineral component -20- 201040349. (Fourth embodiment) Next, A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. In each of the above embodiments, The negative high voltage from the high voltage power source 58 of the electrostatically atomizing device 50, It is applied to the discharge electrode 52 via the water contained in the water retaining material 53. This is to maintain the power efficiency rate appropriately by making the electricity flow easily through water. It is possible to prevent fire or the like caused by heating with reduced conductivity. However, As shown in the third embodiment described above, If the mineral content contained in water is removed by ion exchange resin, The conductivity of water will be greatly reduced. And the possibility that the power supply efficiency will decrease. therefore, In this embodiment, Electrode 52, Dependent on water absorption, A porous material that retains water and absorbs characteristics (for example, A felt composed of a fibrous polyester) is blended with a conductive material (for example, Carbon fiber). According to such a structure, The discharge electrode 5 2 itself has electrical conductivity. Q Therefore, even if the conductivity of water is lowered, A negative high voltage from the high voltage power source 58 can also be suitably applied to the discharge electrode 52. With this, It is possible to prevent ignition or the like caused by heating with reduced conductivity. and, The discharge from the discharge electrode 52 is stable. also, The electrode 52 can also be placed, The entire discharge electrode 52 is formed of a conductive material only by a felt made of, for example, carbon fiber.

Calcium phosphate, It has the property of gradually dissolving water (red solubility). The function of gradually reducing the volume of the sterilizing agent 61 itself by the solubility is exerted. and, Calcium phosphate, It has hardness (hardness) as a property of glass. thus, It also functions to impart mechanical strength (hardness) to the disinfectant 61. According to this embodiment, silver ions are eluted from the sterilizing agent 61, The growth of the fungi in the water storage tank portion 51a can be suppressed, and the inside of the water storage tank portion 51a can be Further, the electrostatic atomization device 50 is hygienically held.

With this, The antibacterial property can be imparted to the laundry in the water tank 12. and, When the phosphate component contained in the sterilizing agent 61 is dissolved in water, a chelate structure (C a 2 P 6 〇丨 8 2 -, is formed for the mineral component (Ming or Magnesium). M g 2 P 6 〇 182 _ ) ‘Water solubility of the mineral part. Therefore, the 'mineral part is not easy to aggregate on the discharge electrode 5 2 ' and does not form scale. -22- 201040349 accumulates. therefore, The discharge electrode 52 does not cause clogging and is good in water permeability. It can prevent fog droplets (the amount of water droplets sprayed out in the form of droplets will decrease). and, The discharge electrode 52 itself can be made longer. also, In the sterilization agent 61, It can also be used to contain lead oxide which has the function of preventing oxidation of silver. Or in order to color the sterilization agent 61, cobalt oxide or the like is added. and, The shape of the fungicide 6 1 Not a 0 cube, E.g, It can also be in the shape of a disc or a plate. and, By the weight and size of each grain, The amount of silver ions eluted can be adjusted.

Conductive rod 1 03, The front end portion (the upper end portion of Fig. 1 1), Passing through the first water retaining material 99 in the box 98, It is fixed to the second water retaining material 100 having rigidity. and, Conductive rod 103, Attached to the outside of the box 98, Leave the entire area of the peripheral side portion of the base end portion (the end portion of the lower side in Fig. 1), It is covered by a covering member 103a made of an insulating material. Conductive rod 1 〇 3, The base end (lower end), a negative electrode of a high voltage power source 105 connected to a power supply circuit (not shown) (for example, -6k V ). With this, Negative high voltage from high voltage power supply 105, Via the conductive rod 103, The first water retaining material 99 and the second water retaining material 100 containing water are applied to the discharge electrode 1 〇 2 ', and the discharge electrode 102 is negatively charged. which is, Conductor rod 103, The system can be used as: A negative -30-201040349 high voltage from the high voltage power source 105 is applied to the discharge electrode 102 to cause the discharge electrode 102 to function as a negatively charged high voltage application means. According to such a structure, At the electrode 1〇2 where water is supplied, A negative high voltage from the high voltage power source 105 is applied. at this time, The charge will concentrate on the front end of the discharge electrode 102. And the water contained in the front end portion is given an energy exceeding the surface tension. With this, The water at the front end of the discharge electrode 102 is split (Rayleigh splitting), From the end of the discharge electrode 102, the droplets are ejected at the end. which is, Electrostatic atomization occurs. herein, Water particles that are sprayed in the form of droplets, Leash negative, It also contains hydroxyl groups generated by its energy. Therefore, a hydroxyl group with strong oxidation, It will be ejected from the discharge electrode 102 together with the droplets. And by the action of the hydroxyl group can be sterilized or deodorized. Again, the mist generator 83, The other electrode corresponding to the negatively charged discharge electrode 1〇2 is not provided. In this case, In the object machine provided with the mist generator 83 (for example, In the washing machine 1), a member grounded via a ground wire or the like (for example, Housing 2), It can be used as: The function of the other electrode corresponding to the discharge electrode 1〇2 of the negatively charged Q. That is, the fog generator 83, System formation: The other electrode corresponding to the discharge electrode 1〇2 negatively charged by the negative high voltage from the high voltage power source 105, There is no structure provided in the vicinity of the discharge electrode 1〇2. Thus, the discharge from the discharge electrode 102 itself is very stable. therefore, Does not produce corona discharges, can suppress harmful gases (ozone, Or nitrogen oxides produced by the ozone oxidizing nitrogen in the air, Nitrous acid, Production of nitric acid, etc. The supply of water to the electrode of the mist drop generator -31 - 201040349, And the application of the high voltage to the discharge electrode is not. then, Providing such a droplet generating device to the washing machine, As the water source system, it is conceivable to use the water supply source (water) in the tank together. however, Used to bring such a water supply, Or a water supply path from the mist generator that supplies the feed water to the mist generating device, It is often installed on the upper side of the washing machine. Therefore, it is often the case that it is used. then, Such a part, Also for the part connected to the droplet generating device, Therefore, if a leakage or the like from the mist droplet is generated, it is also a portion to which a high voltage can be applied. Therefore, when the application of the high voltage of the discharge electrode is an indispensable droplet generation device, in the case of a washing machine, Be asked to prevent leakage, Structure that is improved by electric shock, etc. According to the mist generating device 81 of the present embodiment, The first water retaining material 9 9 supplied to the discharge electrode 110 by the water after the water and the space portion 96 between the water supply valve 8 4 of the first water retaining material 9 9 1 The water retaining material 99 and the water supply valve 84 are electrically insulated. Thereby, the high voltage from the conductive rod 103 can be prevented, The water supply valve 84 side of the water supply path 82 accessible to the applicator, It can be safely ejected from the droplets of the discharge electrode 102. Such a droplet generating device 81, In the case where the application of the pressure to the discharge electrode 1 〇 2 is indispensable, It is possible to prevent the application of a high voltage to the user's portion and to safely perform the misting from the discharge electrode 〇 2 . Therefore, the droplet generating device 8 1, Can prevent leakage, The structure of the safety improvement can be used to prevent the safety from being prepared. The water of the faucet or the like is usually made of water. Put the backup in safety to supply water to the water 97, The first state is the high-electricity that can be touched by the ground. The electric shock is equivalent to the laundry - 32- 201040349 machine. and, A droplet generating device 81, The feed water from the water supply valve 84 to the U-shaped collection tube 85, The timing of the water supply from the U-shaped collecting tube 85 to the mist generator 83 is different. With this, The state in which the water supply valve 84 and the mist generator 83 are connected via water can be avoided. The application of the high voltage to the side of the water supply valve 84 accessible to the user can be further prevented. 0 (eighth embodiment) Next, According to an eighth embodiment of the present invention, Refer to Figure 12 for instructions. In Figure 12, The same reference numerals are given to the same portions as those in the seventh embodiment. In this embodiment, An embodiment of a droplet generating device (corresponding to an electrostatic atomizing device), The structure of the water supply path is different from that of the seventh embodiment described above. A droplet generating device 111, There is a mist drop generator 83, And the water supply path 1 1 2 of the water supply path 8 2 is replaced by the above. The water supply path 1 12 ' is from the water supply valve 84 to the Q first water retaining material 99 (see Fig. 11) in the mist generator 83. Water supply path 112, The water tank 113 is dropped in a part thereof. The drop tank 113, The whole body is formed into a rectangular hollow shape. And at the upper portion, the water supply port 1 13a ' has a drain port n3b at the bottom. and, Drop the water tank 1 1 3, It has an overflow 1 1 3 c on its side. The water supply pipe 114 which is bent downward from the water supply valve 84 is inserted into the water supply port 113a'. The front end portion (the lower end portion in Fig. 2) of the water supply pipe 114 extends in the dripping tank 丨丨3. In this case, 'the front end of the water supply pipe 1 1 4, The system extends to a position higher than the overflow n 3 ^ -33- 201040349. At the drain 113b, A drain pipe 115 is connected in communication. In the middle of the drainage pipeline 1 1 5 A drain valve 1 16 is provided. Drainage pipe 1 1 5 lower end, It is opposed to the water guiding port 94a of the water guiding portion 94 extending from the mist generator 83 from above. And a state of being separated from the water guiding port 94a is formed. With this, A space portion 17 is formed between the lower end portion of the drain pipe 1 1 5 and the water conduit 94a. According to such a structure, In the state where the drain valve 1 16 is closed, The water supply valve 84 is supplied to the water in the dripping water tank 1 1 3 via the water supply pipe 1 1 4, The system is gradually accumulated in the drip tank H3. Then, when the water level of the water supplied to the dripping water tank 113 exceeds the height of the overflow port 113c, The water overflowing from the overflow port 1 1 3 c is drained to the outside of the drip tank 1 1 3 . With this, The water level in the dripping tank 1 1 3 is constructed so as not to exceed the height of the overflow port 1 1 3 c. herein, The lower end of the water supply pipe 1 1 4, The system is located at a height of 1 1 3 c from the overflow. which is, It can store water in the position where the highest water level in the dripping tank Π 3 is higher. therefore, A space portion 1 1 8 is formed in the upper portion of the dripping water tank 113. By dropping the water tank Π 3 inside the tombstone space portion 1 1 8 The water in the water supply valve 84 and the drip tank 1 1 3 is isolated. So, In the water supply path 1 1 2, There will be two space parts 1 1 7 1 1 8. Drain valve 1 1 6, By appropriately adjusting the opening, The water accumulated in the dripping water tank 113, The drain pipe 115 is dropped into the water guiding portion 94. which is, The drain valve 1 1 6, The system can be used as: A function of a throttle valve for dripping water droplets in the water tank 1 1 3 instead of continuously flowing. According to the droplet generating device 111 of the present embodiment, The first water retaining material 99 in the drop generator 83 is introduced through the mist -34-201040349, a space portion 1 1 7 between the water supply valve 8 4 that supplies water to the first water retaining material 9 9 , 1 1 8, The first water retaining material 99 and the water supply valve 84 are electrically insulated. With this, Prevents high voltage from the conductive rod i 03, Applied to the side of the water supply valve 84 accessible to the user, The ejection of the droplets from the discharge electrode 丨 02 can be performed safely. So, A droplet generating device 111, In the case where the application of the high voltage to the discharge electrode 102 is indispensable, It prevents the application of high voltage to the parts accessible to the user, The ejection of the droplets from the discharge electrode 102 can be performed safely. Therefore, the droplet generating device 111, Can prevent leakage, a structure that improves safety, such as electric shock, It can be placed in a washing machine, etc. without compromising safety. and, Droplet generating device 1 1 1, The structure is supplied to the water guiding portion 94 by dropping water droplets in the water tank 1 1 3 . therefore, It is different from the structure in which the water in the dripping water tank 1 13 is continuously flowed and supplied. 断 Intermittent feed water is available. With this, The state in which the water supply valve 84 and the mist generator 83 are connected via water can be avoided, and the application of the high voltage to the user-accessible water supply valve 84 side can be further prevented. and, When the amount of water in the dropping tank 113 is increased, The water pressure will become bigger. Therefore, even if the opening degree of the drain valve 1 16 is adjusted, It is also difficult to drip the water droplets in the water tank 113 into the water guiding portion 94. In this embodiment, Droplet generating device 1 1 1, An overflow port 丨丨 3 ^ is provided on the side of the dripping water tank 1 1 3 . Therefore, the amount of water in the drip tank 1 1 3 is limited to a predetermined amount (the amount of water whose water level is the height of the overflow port 1 1 3 c). In order to prevent the water in the tank n 3 from dripping -35- 201040349, the pressure is too large, The water in the dropping tank 1 13 can be appropriately dropped into the water guiding portion 94. also, By appropriately changing the position of the overflow port 113c of the dripping water tank 113 in the up and down direction, The water pressure in the drop tank 113 can be adjusted, Further, the amount of dripping or dripping of the water from the tank 1 1 3 is dropped. also, A droplet generating device 111, It is also possible to prevent the front end portion of the water supply pipe 114 from being inserted into the dripping water tank 113. Instead of this, The mist generating device 111, Can also be made into: By arranging the front end portion of the water supply pipe 114 from above with the water supply port 1 1 3 a of the dripping water tank 11 3 , Further, a state in which the water supply port is separated from the water supply port 1 1 3 a is formed, and a space portion is formed between the water supply valve 84 and the drip water tank 1 1 3 .

The drain pipe line 122' extends toward the mist generator 83 side of the mist generating device 81 with almost no bending. And connected to the water guiding portion 94 of the mist generator 83. which is, Drainage pipe 1 22, It is equivalent to the drainage line 87 of Fig. 8. also, In this case, Drainage pipe 1 2 2 before the end, The water is connected to the water guiding port 94a of the water guiding portion 94 (refer to Fig. 8). therefore, A space portion open to the atmosphere is not formed between the end portion of the drain port 122 and the water conduit 94a. U-shaped collection tube 85, The state is communicated with the inside of the water tank 12 via the overflow port 85d. which is, Sink 12, It is equivalent to the buffer tank 89 of Fig. 8. then, a drain hose 28 connected to the bottom of the water tank 12 (refer to Figure 14), It is equivalent to the drainage channel 90 of Fig. 8. a drain valve 2 9 disposed in the middle of the drain hose 28 (refer to Fig. 14). It is equivalent to the drain valve 91 of Fig. 8. and, The circulation blower 38 is disposed in the middle of the circulation air passage 43 that communicates with the water tank 12, It is equivalent to the addition of the -37-201040349 pressure device 93 in Figure 8. on the other hand, a droplet generator 83 of the mist generating device 81, In the air supply duct 42 constituting a midway portion of the circulation air passage 43, Placement: More upstream than the warm air inlet 23, And on the downstream side, the portion immediately adjacent to the connecting hose 4 1 (refer to Fig. 14) (Fig. 15, It is a portion of the lower end portion of the air supply duct 42 that is turned back to the motor 30. then, The electrode 10 2 of the droplet generator 8 3, They are arranged such that their respective front ends protrude from the inside of the circulation air passage 43. As shown in Figure 14, By the partition plate 43a having the crotch portion 43b, a part of the air (warm air) flowing in the circulation air path 43, Is supplied to the side of the mist generator 83, Further, after passing through the discharge electrode 102 and its peripheral portion, it merges with the circulation air passage 43 (refer to the arrow mark shown by a broken line in Fig. 4). Drainage path of the mist generator 8 3 1 04, It is connected to a portion of the drain hose 28 that is downstream of the drain valve 29. therefore, The water overflowing from the drain path 104 from the water tank portion 98a of the mist drop generator 83, It is drained to the drain hose 28 by the drain path 104. also, Although not shown, a conductive rod 103 of the mist generator 83, A negative electrode of a high voltage power source whose base end is connected to a power supply circuit of the washing machine 1 (for example, -6kV). With this, Negative high voltage from high voltage power supplies, Then through the conductive rod 103, And the first water retaining material 99 and the second water retaining material 100 containing water are applied to the discharge electrode 102, And the discharge electrode 102 is negatively charged. and, In this case, -38 - 201040349 housing 2 (a member disposed at a position that does not face the discharge electrode 102 and is away from the discharge electrode i〇2) through a grounding wire (not shown) or the like, The system can be used as: The function of the other electrode corresponding to the negatively charged discharge pole 102. In the washing machine 1 thus constituted, Control device 10, It can be constructed by performing a sterilization route. The sterilization route is equivalent to the stroke of the droplet generation program. In order to operate the mist generating device 81, a mist is generated and supplied to the water tank 12 in the 0 stroke together with the air flowing in the circulating air passage 43. herein, Regarding the control content of the control device 1 in the case of performing the sterilization route, Refer to Figure 16 for a description. Figure 16, It displays a time map of its control content. also, The part shown in Figure 16 with a section line, Control device 1 〇, Will drive each component (open feed valve 26, Driving cycle blower 38, The conductive rod 103 is energized. When the sterilization route is selected via the operation panel 8, At the beginning of the sterilization process, Control device 1 〇, The water supply valve 26 will be opened. And through the water supply pipe 121, The water supply port 85b supplies water into the U-shaped collecting pipe 85 (in the section indicated by the symbol A in the figure Q16). Water supplied, The system is gradually accumulated in the U-shaped collecting tube 85. In this case, Control device 10, The time (setting means) for supplying the amount of water flowing out of the U-shaped collecting pipe 85 from the overflow port 8 5d is set in advance. then, After the set time, Control device 10, The water supply valve 26 is closed. And stop the feed water in the U-shaped collection tube 8 5 . With this, Control device, It will not drain the water in the U-shaped collecting pipe 8 5 from the drain port 8 5 c. And will be a predetermined amount (in this case, Water having a water level of 85d in the water level is accumulated in the U-shaped collecting pipe 8 5 , Further, a space portion -39 - 201040349 9 7 is formed on the upstream side of the U-shaped collecting pipe 85 (refer to Fig. 15). Secondly, Control device 1 〇, This is the state in which the water supply valve 26 is closed (the state in which the water supply in the U-shaped collecting pipe 8 5 is stopped), It is judged whether or not the predetermined time (the time when the water remaining in the water supply pipe 121 flows out of the U-shaped collecting pipe 85) has elapsed (in the section indicated by the symbol B in Fig. 16). then, After the scheduled time, Control device 10, The circulating blower 38 is driven at a high speed (for example, 300 rpm). The pressure (internal pressure) in the water tank 12 is raised (in the area indicated by the symbol C in Fig. 16). also, at this time, Control device 10, This is the state in which the drain valve 29 is closed (the state in which the circulation air passage 43 is left in the water tank 1 2 and is substantially sealed). With this, The pressure (internal pressure) in the water tank 12 is increased efficiently 〇 as the internal pressure of the water tank 12 rises, The internal pressure of the space portion 97 in the U-shaped collecting pipe 85 in a state of communicating with the inside of the water tank 12 via the overflow port 85d rises. With this, The water accumulated in the U-shaped collecting tube 8 5 , The water is discharged from the upstream side of the U-shaped collecting pipe 85 toward the downstream side, and is drained from the drain port 85c. Water is supplied to the water guiding portion 94 through the drain pipe 87. When the water supply to the mist drop generator 8 3 is completed, Control device, It is judged that the predetermined time (the water accumulated in the water storage tank portion 98a in Fig. 1 is passed through the water absorbing member 1 〇 1, Whether or not the time when the first water retaining material 99 or the like is supplied to the discharge electrode 1 〇 2 has passed (in the area indicated by the symbol D in Fig. 16). then, When the predetermined time has elapsed, the control device 1 〇 The high voltage power source is energized to the conductive rod 103 to operate the droplet generating device 81 (in the range indicated by the symbol E in Fig. 16 of -40-201040349). With this, The negative high voltage ' from the high voltage supply will pass through the conductive rod 103, The first water retaining material 99 and the second water retaining material 100 are applied to the discharge electrode 102, The discharge electrode 102 is negatively charged. Thereby, a droplet containing a hydroxyl group having a strong oxidation is ejected from the front end of the discharge electrode 102. at this time, Control device 10, The circulating blower 38 is driven at a low speed (for example, 1500 rpm which is lower than the rotational speed of the feed water described above), 0 The air in the water tank 12 is circulated through the circulation air path 43. With this, a droplet containing hydroxyl groups ejected from the mist generating device 81, It is supplied to the water tank 12 together with the air (warm air) flowing in the circulation air passage 43. Then, With the hydroxyl groups thus supplied, The laundry (clothing, etc.) in the water tank 12 can be sterilized and deodorized. In this case, Control device 10, The circulation blower 38 is driven at a lower rotation speed than when the water supply to the mist generator 83 is supplied (refer to the section indicated by the symbol c). therefore, The amount of air flowing in the circulation air path 43 becomes weak, One side can prevent the drying of the electrode 1〇2, The mist can be supplied to the water tank 12 on one side. Further, in the above-described sterilization operation, the user is via a mode selection button (not shown) provided on the operation panel 8. Two modes of the first mode and the second mode can be selected. Select the first mode, Control device 1 〇, Then, the supply of the mist droplets in the water tank 12 (the driving of the circulation blower 38 and the energization to the conductive rod 103) is performed and the drum 13 is rotated forward and backward at a predetermined low speed (for example, 5 rpm). The first mode, Suitable for washing objects that can also be stirred (rotatable, Such as coats, Women's suit pants, The sterilization of a scarf, etc.). on the other hand, When the second mode is selected -41 - 201040349 , Control device 10, When the supply of mist into the sink 1 2 is supplied, The drum 13 is rotated. The second mode, Suitable for washing objects that are not desired to be stirred (non-rotatable, Such as puppets, handbag, The sterilization of leather, etc.). According to the embodiment as explained above, During the sterilization process, A mist containing a hydroxyl group having a strong oxidizing action is ejected into the circulation air path 43, It is supplied into the tank 12 together with the air (warm air) flowing in the circulation air passage 43. With this, Then, the laundry (clothing, etc.) in the water tank 12 can be deodorized. then, The electrically insulating state between the first water retaining material 99 and the water supply valve in the mist generator 83 can be maintained by the space portion 97 formed in the U-shaped collecting pipe 85. It can prevent the application of high voltage to the side of the water supply valve 8 4 accessible to the user. also, In this case, Washing machine 1, The other pole corresponding to the discharge electrode 102 which is negatively charged by the high voltage from the negative voltage of the high voltage, It is not disposed near the discharge electrode 102. thus, The discharge from discharge 102 itself is very stable. therefore, Does not generate corona discharge, can suppress harmful gases (ozone, Or nitrogen oxides produced by oxidizing nitrogen in the air by the ozone, Nitrous acid, Production of nitric acid, etc.). also, A droplet generator 83, It is possible to set it to any part as long as it is a middle of the circulation air passage 43. but, As shown in this embodiment, It is preferable to provide a portion of the circulation air passage 43 which is constituted by the air supply duct 42. Air duct 42, The portion is formed further downstream than the condenser 46 of the evaporator air passage 43. therefore, The hydroxy-free mixture produced in this part is separated from the 26-source electrode and the -42 - 201040349 is less susceptible to the cooling effect of the evaporator 46 and the condenser 47. (First embodiment) Regarding the first embodiment of the present invention, Reference _ Mingzhi. also, The ninth part shown in Fig. 15 is omitted, and the description is omitted.

The overflow flow outlet 12a, When the amount of water in the water tank 12 exceeds a predetermined amount (the amount of water at which the water level becomes the height of the overflow outlet 12 2a), Used to drain spilled water outside the sink 12 (in this case, Overflow collection pipe 1 3 1). With this, Even if, for example, a malfunction of the water supply valve 26 occurs, And the water level in the water tank 1 2 is abnormally higher than the set water level. More than a predetermined amount of water will also be drained from the overflow outlet 1 2 a. also, The overflow port 85d of the above U-shaped collecting pipe 85, It is placed at a position higher than the overflow outlet of the water tank 12 by 1 2 a. With this, Even if the water level in the sink 1 2 is abnormally high, The water in the sink 1 2, It is also drained from the overflow outlet 12a before its water level reaches the overflow 85d of the U-shaped collecting pipe 85. therefore, The overflow from the water tank 12 does not flow into the u-shaped collecting tube 85. and, In the present embodiment, a dedicated water supply valve 134 for supplying water in the conventional U-shaped collecting pipe 85 and the above-described water supply valve 26 are separately provided. The receiver is at the water supply port 85b of the U-shaped collecting pipe 85, The communication connection has a water supply pipe _35 extending from the dedicated water supply valve 134. With this, Dedicated water supply valve 1; 34 is independently controlled from the water supply valve 26, It is also possible to supply only the amount of water required for the water in the U-shaped collection tube 85. therefore, The water that is supplied with water in the U-shaped collecting tube 8 5 is not wasted. Next, the effect of this embodiment will be described. Laundry procedures in various operating itineraries, Or in the cleaning process, Control device 1 〇, The water supply valve 26 is opened, The water is supplied to the water tank 44 through the water supply tank 25 and the like. At the same time, Control device 10, Through the water supply pipe 132, Water is supplied to the overflow collecting pipe 131 from the water supply port 131b. thus, Feed water to the overflow collection pipe 1 3 1 , Is carried out between the feed water in the sink 1 2 Continued. Therefore, the water that is supplied to the overflow collecting pipe 131 is Not staying in the overflow collection pipe 131, Continue to flow beyond the drain port 131c, And via the overflow pipe 133, The drain hose 0 28 flows out of the washing machine 1 . Control device 10, When the water level in the water tank 12 reaches the set water level, The feed valve 26 will be closed. The feed water in the water tank 12 and the water supply in the overflow collecting pipe 131 are stopped. By this, The amount of water in the predetermined amount (the amount of water at the water level of the drain 1 3 1 c) will remain. And it is stored in the overflow collecting pipe 1 31. In the drying process, Control device 1 〇, Is in the state of closing the drain valve 29, Make the circulation blower 3 8, Evaporator 46, The condenser 47 operates to supply warm air into the water tank 12, and the Q laundry in the water tank 12 (in the drum 13) is dried. In such a drying process, It is connected to the overflow collecting pipe 131 in the water tank 12 via the overflow outlet 1 2 a, By being stored in the water inside, It becomes a state in which the air permeability is blocked. therefore, Even if a part of the warm air supplied into the water tank 1 2 flows into the overflow collecting pipe 131 from the overflow outflow port l2a, The warm air does not escape from the drain port 131c and leaks out of the outside of the washing machine 1. which is, Inside the sink 12, It becomes a state in which the circulation air passage 43 is left and is substantially sealed. then, By supplying warm air to the water -45- 201040349 slot 12 that is maintained in such a sealed state, The pressure (internal pressure) in the water tank 12 rises. In this case, Because the U word collection tube 85, The system is smaller than the overflow collecting pipe 13 1 . Therefore, the amount of water accumulated in the U-shaped collecting pipe 85, It is less than the amount of water accumulated in the overflow collection pipe 1 3 1 . therefore, Even in the state where the internal pressure in the overflow collecting pipe 131 does not rise by the warm air flowing in from the overflow outlet 1 2 a, The internal pressure of the space portion 97 in the U-shaped collecting pipe 85 also rises by the warm air flowing in from the overflow port 85d. then, As the internal pressure of the space portion 97 rises, The water accumulated in the U-shaped collecting pipe 85, The upstream side of the U-shaped collecting pipe 85 is pushed out toward the downstream side, and is drained from the drain port 85c. then, From the drain 8 5 c is drained water, The water is supplied to the water guiding portion 94 of the mist generator 83 through the drain pipe 1 22 . which is, The amount of air in the drying process, Although it is impossible to push out the water in the overflow collecting pipe 1 3 1 and discharge it, However, it is set such that the water in the U-shaped collecting pipe 85 can be pushed out to discharge the air volume (for example, The rotation speed of the circulation blower 38 was taken as the air volume at 3000 rpm). According to the present embodiment, as described above, The back surface of the water tank 12 is provided with a structure of an overflow outlet l2a. The overflow of the U-shaped collecting pipe 85 is 85d, It is disposed at a position higher than the overflow outlet 12a. By this, The overflow from the water tank 12 can be prevented from flowing into the U-shaped collecting pipe 85, and the U-shaped collecting pipe 85 is filled with water. therefore, The state in which the space portion 97 is formed in the U-shaped collecting tube 85 can be appropriately maintained. which is, The first water retaining material 99 and the water supply valve 26 in the mist generator 83, 134 is electrically insulated, It can prevent the high voltage from being accessible to the user. 1 3 4 side application. -46 - 201040349 (1st Embodiment) Hereinafter, The first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 18. also, The same parts as those of the first embodiment described above are omitted.
