[0001] The present invention relates to a filter cleaning mechanism and a cloth drying device using the same.

[0002] As a method for cleaning a drying filter of a cloth drying device, there are many proposals for an automatic cleaning method in the device. Patent Document 1 discloses a method in which a mechanical cleaning device is disposed near a filter to clean the filter. In addition, it also proposes a cleaning method that uses water or a cleaning method that uses wind. [0003] In addition to the automatic cleaning method, in Patent Document 2, a filter unit is configured to be attachable and detachable from an air supply path, and a cleaning mechanism is provided near the filter.

[Prior Art Document] [Patent Document] [0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-130789 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-179296

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] [0005] In addition to the method of automatically cleaning the drying filter, in addition to the mechanical cleaning device disclosed in Patent Document 1, the method of cleaning with water or the method of using wind is also required. A driving mechanism or the like that drives the cleaning mechanism is a method in which the structure becomes complicated and the cost is high. In addition, it is necessary to ensure and maintain sufficient cleaning performance by automatic filter cleaning at any time. However, in fact, the cleaning performance deteriorates with time, and there are cases in which the cleaning cannot be performed due to the type of cotton dust. In this case, the filter unit is manually cleaned. However, there is a problem that manual cleaning of the filter unit is complicated by the arrangement of an automatic cleaning mechanism. [0006] In view of these points, in order to improve the manual cleaning performance, Patent Document 2 discloses a method including a manual cleaning mechanism. In this method, a cleaning mechanism for sweeping off cotton dust on the filter is integrally disposed at a portion where the filter is attached and detached. After the filter is attached and detached, the sweeping member can be operated, so that the cotton dust on the filter can be easily removed, but there is a problem that the cotton dust on the filter is easily detached or scattered during the loading and unloading and cleaning. [0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a filter cleaning mechanism and a cloth drying device using the filter cleaning mechanism with a simple structure and operation to suppress the occurrence of scattering of cotton dust and the like. [Means for Solving the Problems] [0008] In order to solve these problems, as an example, a filter cleaning mechanism is used to clean a cotton dust capturing filter, and the cotton dust capturing filter is provided for blowing The air supply path for the drying air of the cloth drying device is characterized by including a filter for capturing cotton dust, a cleaning means for cleaning the cotton dust attached to the filter, and a method for containing the filter. A part of the air supply path of the upstream part, the filter, the cleaning means, and a part of the air supply path are integrally attachable and detachable. The attachment and detachment part has a cup shape, and the cup shape is a combination of the filter and the air supply path. A part of the opening is provided as a wall surface, and a part of the cup-shaped wall surface is provided with a movable portion that can slide or rotate relative to the wall surface of the other portion, and is linked to the movable portion by sliding or rotating, so that the cleaning is performed. Means to clean the lint attached to the aforementioned filter. [Effects of the Invention] [0009] According to the structure of the present invention, it is possible to provide a filter cleaning mechanism and a cloth drying device using the same, with a simple structure and operation to suppress the occurrence of scattering of cotton dust and the like.

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of a filter cleaning mechanism using the present invention and a cloth drying device using the same will be described. [0012] In the air supply path of the cloth drying device, wool chips called cotton dust generated by the cloth such as the dried cloth will flow. The cotton dust generated by the cloth is not good because it is wool yarn and reattaches to the dried cloth. In addition, if the cotton dust flows into the blower in a large amount, it may cause a failure of the blower. Therefore, a mesh filter for removing cotton dust is provided in the air supply path. [0013] In the cloth drying device, the cloth is strongly blown, thereby drying the cloth in a short time. Therefore, the amount of air flowing through the air supply path is also large. Although it varies depending on the state of the cloth to be dried, a large amount of cotton dust adheres to the filter installed in the air supply path in a relatively short period of time. If cotton dust is attached to the filter, the air supply efficiency will be reduced, and the drying efficiency will also be reduced, resulting in a longer time required for drying. In addition, the energy required for drying will also increase. In order to achieve efficient cloth drying, cotton dust must always be removed from the filter installed in the air supply path. In order to ensure performance, filter cleaning must be performed frequently, so the filter cleaning operation will become a large load on the maintenance of the cloth drying device. [0014] This embodiment is to provide a filter cleaning mechanism, which aims at suppressing a large load on the maintenance, so that the cloth drying device often operates efficiently, and uses a simple method to make cotton dust Flying and so on will not happen. [0015] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a basic structure of a filter cleaning mechanism of the present invention, and is a diagram illustrating a cloth drying device installation state, disassembly transportation state, and disassembly waste state. In the figure, a) shows the installation situation in the air supply path 1. The air supply path 1 is only a part of which is shown in the drawing, and the network cable portion is a part attached and detached from the air supply path. The wind at the time of air supply flows in the direction of the arrow (from right 7 to left (down) 8 in the figure). The filter 5 of the air supply path and a part 2 of the air supply path on the upstream side thereof can be integrally attached to and detached from the air supply path 1. Although the cross section of the air supply path 1 is not shown in FIG. 1, the outer and inner wall surfaces of the air supply path having the same length as the network cable portion are also integrally detached. The attaching and detaching portion has a cup shape having an opening on the upstream side of the air supply path and having a filter 5 surface and a wall surface of the air supply path. A cleaning mechanism 3 and a part 4 accommodating the filter 5 are provided at one end of the filter 5. The cleaning mechanism 3 is installed in the air supply path 1 of the cloth drying device, and the cleaning mechanism 3 is kept in the cleaning state while the air is being blown. Mechanism storage section 4. The cleaning mechanism of the embodiment in the figure is a general blade cleaning mechanism, and it is a method of cleaning the cotton dust adhering to the filter by contacting the filter. A deep groove is formed in the cleaning mechanism accommodating portion 4, so that when the cleaning mechanism, that is, the blade is stored, the pressure contact of the front end of the blade is released. Although the cleaning mechanism of this embodiment discloses a relatively simple structure of the blade cleaning mechanism 3, it can also be applied to other cleaning methods or mechanisms including a brush cleaning mechanism. [0016] b) in the figure is a schematic view showing a state when the filter 5 and the cleaning mechanism unit 3 are removed from the air supply path 1 and transported. The loading and unloading part of the embodiment of the present invention has a cup shape, so the cotton scraps 6 on the filter 5 are difficult to fall, and the opening is carried upward, even if the cotton scraps 6 fall from the filter 5 , Can also be kept in the cup. [0017] The figure c) shows a situation in which the cotton dust 6 is discarded from the filter 5 to the dust box 10 and the like. The cup-shaped two parts of this embodiment have a structure in which the wall surface 2f on the side where the filter is mounted and the wall surface 2b on which the cleaning mechanism, that is, the scraper, is slid to each other. When cleaning the filter 5, the opening portion of the cup shape 2 is made downward in the dust collecting box 10, and the wall surface 2f (movable portion) of the side where the blade is attached is directed toward the wall surface 2f where the filter is attached. Slide down. Thereby, the scraper 3 moves in parallel with the surface of the filter 5 to remove the cotton dust 6 on the filter 5 and discards it to the dust collecting box 10 side. The attaching and detaching portion of this embodiment is surrounded by the filter 5 and the cleaning mechanism 3, and has a cup shape having an opening on one side. Therefore, the cotton scraps 6 swept from the filter 5 by the cleaning mechanism 3 are difficult to scatter and can be removed from the opening. Enter the dust box 10. [0018] In addition, in the structure of this embodiment, the filter surface after cleaning by the cleaning mechanism 3 protrudes to the opposite side of the cleaning mechanism 3, that is, the outside of the cup shape. Since the cleaned filter 5 protrudes to the outside of the cup shape, the filter 5 surface can be easily handled. Thereby, even in the case where the cleaning of the cleaning mechanism 3 is insufficient, the filter can be simply cleaned. [0019] Moreover, the cotton scraps 6 and the like caught between the scrapers 3 can also be easily removed. In the structure of this embodiment, the movable portion, that is, the wall surface 2b can be further slid, and the wall surface 2f on the side where the filter 5 is installed and the wall surface 2b on which the cleaning mechanism, that is, the scraper 3 is installed, can be completely completed. Separation. With a completely separable structure, cleaning or maintenance of the filter 5 or the scraper 3 becomes very easy. There are various states of the clothes drying device attached to the cotton dust 6 of the filter 5. Therefore, under all conditions, it is necessary to ensure that the cotton dust 6 on the filter 5 can be completely cleaned by the cleaning mechanism 3 of this embodiment. Is almost impossible. This means that the structure of this embodiment having a structure that facilitates cleaning or maintenance of the filter 5 or the scraper 3 can be said to be an extremely effective structure. [0020] In this embodiment, description is made on the premise that the filter cleaning 3 is performed manually. Of course, a motor, a switch, or the like can also be provided to perform the automatic operation. Such settings must take into consideration the operability and cost. [0021] FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of a filter cleaning mechanism of the present invention. The figure shows the details of the loading and unloading section. During the installation of the cloth drying device, the wind flows from the arrow 7 side, and the wind is sent from the filter surface 5 provided on the side and the lower side to the direction of the side arrow 8s and the lower arrow 8b. The filter surface 5 in the figure is a diagram illustrating a structure in which a filter (translucent) is provided in a grid-like structure supporting the filter. As in the embodiment of FIG. 2, the filter surface 5 may be formed into two surfaces of a cup shape. The cup-shaped attaching and detaching portion is composed of a side 2b that holds the cleaning mechanism 3, that is, a scraper blade, and a side 2f that holds the filter 5. The upper part of the scraper holding part also serves as the upper cover 11 when it is installed in the cloth drying device, and a gripping part 12 for attachment and detachment is arranged on the upper side. [0022] FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an operation method during cleaning of an embodiment of the filter cleaning mechanism of the present invention shown in FIG. 2. On the dust collecting box 10, the side wall surface 2b (movable part) of the cleaning mechanism is pulled down to the filter side wall surface 2f, thereby cleaning the cotton dust 6 attached to the filter 5 by the cleaning mechanism 3 and discarding it to the dust collection Box of 10. At this time, the grasping portion 12 for attachment and detachment can also be used as the grasping portion 21 for operating the cleaning mechanism that pulls down the side wall surface 2b of the cleaning mechanism. [0023] In the embodiment of the present invention described in FIGS. 1 to 3, the filter surface is disposed on the surface side adjacent to the opening portion of the cup shape. In this way, the cotton scraps 6 are pushed toward the opening side by the operation of the scraper cleaning mechanism 3 during the cleaning of the filter 5 to prevent the cotton scraps from being scattered and the cotton scraps 6 can be stably discharged to the dust box 10. The scraper cleaning mechanism 3 described in this embodiment is a method that can realize filter cleaning with a relatively simple structure. [0024] FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an embodiment of a cloth drying device using the filter cleaning mechanism of the present invention. A cloth drying device using the filter cleaning mechanism of the present invention will be described. The device in the figure is a horizontal rotating drum drying device which is widely used. The cloth is put into the rotating drum from the door 16 provided on the front of the apparatus. The rotating drum 15 is rotated by a motor 17 directly connected to stir the cloths, and the cloths are dried by air blown from the air-sending fan 14. The air blown onto the cloth is warm air dried by a heater (not shown) or the like. The dried air is circulated in the direction of the arrow through the air supply path 1 provided in the device. [0025] In addition to the cloth dryer function, a washing and drying machine with a washing machine function is also basically the same structure, with a water inlet 19 for supplying water to the rotating drum or a water outlet 18 for draining water, and laundry Finely stir the cloths together to wash. The device of FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a washer-dryer with a washing machine capability, and also has a water suction port 19 and a water discharge port 18. [0026] The filter cleaning mechanism of this embodiment is arranged in the upper part of the cloth drying device and in front of the blower fan 14. Considering the maintainability of the filter 5 and the like, the installation position of the filter cleaning mechanism in this embodiment is most suitable for the upper part of the cloth drying device shown in the figure. In particular, in the device of the washing and drying machine that must store water in the rotating drum 15, the air-supplying fan 14 or the filter 5 and the cleaning mechanism 3 are preferably installed at a high position without the influence of water. [0027] In the cloth drying device according to the embodiment of FIG. 4, a filter 13 is additionally disposed between the filter cleaning mechanism and the air supply fan of this embodiment. In fact, the filter 5 of the filter cleaning mechanism of this embodiment can almost recover the cotton dust 6 flowing in the air supply path. However, as in this embodiment, the filter 5 is attached to and removed from the mechanism for cleaning. In the case, the filter 5 may be damaged. In addition, as in the present embodiment, in a structure in which a part 2 of the air supply path is attached or detached, it is possible to perform air supply when the attaching and detaching section is removed. Actually, it is necessary to set the loading and unloading detection and control of the air supply path so that the air supply operation is not performed in the state where the loading and unloading part is removed, but the risk of poor detection or misoperation in control is also considered. Therefore, in the embodiment of the cloth-type drying device of the present invention, a structure in which the filter 13 is fixed between the filter cleaning mechanism and the blower 14 is basically provided. [0028] In reality, the air supply operation is performed only after the filter cleaning mechanism 2 of this embodiment is installed, so the cleaning of the fixed filter 13 is almost unnecessary, and there is no large burden on maintenance. However, if the filter 13 is provided in the air supply path, there is still a possibility that the cotton dust 6 and the like leaked from the upstream filter 5 adhere and accumulate, and the air supply may be hindered. Therefore, in the cloth drying device of this embodiment, it is considered that the fixed filter 13 is arranged near the filter cleaning mechanism of the present embodiment, so that cleaning can be easily performed from the attachment / detachment portion 12 of the filter cleaning mechanism. When the filter cleaning mechanism of this embodiment is actually applied to a cloth drying device or the like, it is important to consider the above-mentioned considerations. [0029] In the cloth drying device according to the embodiment of FIG. 4, the upper surface of the cup-shaped attaching and detaching portion 2 is provided with a cover portion 11 integrated with the casing of the casing. The cup-shaped attaching / detaching portion needs to be attached in a cup-shaped shape in which the cover portion 11 of the filter side 2f and the blade portion 2b are assembled. It is necessary to consider that a sensor or the like for preventing the filter from being installed on the cloth drying device side is used in the case of the cloth drying device. As the structure of the detection sensor or the like, a general mechanical switch or a light sensor can be used, and a detailed description is omitted. In addition, in the structure of this embodiment, when it is assembled in a cloth drying device, it is necessary to have a structure in which the cleaning mechanism portion 3 is set to the aforementioned standby position 4, so that when it is installed in the cloth drying device, the cleaning mechanism does not Supply air causes adverse effects. [0030] FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an embodiment of a filter cleaning mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention. As described in the embodiment of FIG. 4, when the filter cleaning mechanism of this embodiment is mounted on a cloth drying device, the upper part of the device is most suitable. In the cloth drying device, it is necessary to dry as many cloths as possible within a limited device size. Therefore, it is desirable to install and arrange a larger rotating drum 15 as much as possible. In the case of a substantially box-shaped device, when a large-sized rotating drum 15 is arranged, the remaining installation space includes the space on the side of the motor 17 on the back side of the device, and the diagonally above the cylindrical rotating drum 15 Space on the side of the device. As seen from the foregoing, the arrangement shape of the air duct 1 before and after the cleaning device of the present invention is roughly the arrangement shown in FIG. 4, which is effective in terms of miniaturization of the device in consideration of the miniaturization of the device. [0031] First, as a mounting position of the blower fan 14 for blowing air to the rotary drum 15, a space on the side of the device diagonally above the cylindrical rotary drum 15 is used. Then, as a ventilation path for the air exhausted from the drying drum 15 to the ventilation fan 14 above the apparatus, a vertical passage 1 is arranged on the back of the apparatus. Under the installation arrangement conditions shown in FIG. 4, the filter cleaning mechanism of this embodiment is preferably installed at a position where the air supply path is bent at a right angle (area 12 surrounded by a dotted line). [0032] The filter attaching and detaching unit with a cleaning mechanism according to the present embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 has a structure in which a filter is arranged on the side of the opening, so that it can be easily arranged on the dotted line portion 23 in FIG. 4. . [0033] As described above, the filter cleaning mechanism of this embodiment has a cup shape, thereby becoming a filter when cleaning or disassembling from a cloth drying device or cleaning the dust box 10 During cleaning of the filter, it is possible to prevent structures such as cotton dust adhering to the filter from scattering. However, when the opening portion of the cup is lowered during transportation, etc., the cotton dust falling off the filter naturally falls out of the cup. In order to prevent the cotton dust from the filter 5 from being scattered after being removed from the cloth drying device, it is effective to provide a lid to plug the cup-shaped opening. The lid provided in the cup-shaped opening is opened in conjunction with the operation handle of the cleaning mechanism to improve the operability during cleaning. In addition, the cover is also opened when installed in a cloth drying device, thereby eliminating operational errors and improving operability. When the filter cleaning mechanism unit is put back into the cloth-type drying device, the structure for opening the cover can be relatively easily realized by attaching the shape of the guide portion or the like, and detailed descriptions thereof are also omitted. [0034] In the case where a cover is provided so that the cup-shaped filter cleaning mechanism can be attached and detached from the cloth drying device to close the cup-shaped opening, even if dust falls from the filter, it is not necessary. Worry about dust falling out of the cup. When the above-mentioned cover is provided, it is not necessary to operate the cleaning mechanism on the dust box. In the case where the lid is provided in the shape of a cup as described above, the operation of the cleaning mechanism can also consider a method interlocking with the loading and unloading operation of the cloth drying device. By adopting this structure, as long as the lid is opened on the dust box, cotton dust can be discarded, and the operability is further improved. However, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, it is difficult to realize a simple structure in which a cleaning mechanism is provided on a part of the wall surface and cleaning is performed by sliding. In order to operate the cleaning mechanism by the above-mentioned loading and unloading operation from the cloth drying device, an independent cleaning mechanism must be provided. Therefore, compared with the structure of the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, there is a disadvantage that the structure is more complicated. [0035] FIG. 6 is an example of a filter cleaning mechanism according to the present invention, and is a diagram for explaining the structure of a movable portion having a rotatable movement. In the figure, a) shows the installation situation in the air supply path 1. The air supply path 1 is only a part of which is shown in the drawing, and the network cable portion is a part attached and detached from the air supply path. The wind at the time of supply air flows in the direction of the arrow (from right 7 to left 8 in the figure). The filter 5 of the air supply path is detachably integrated with a part 2 of the air supply path on the upstream side. Although the cross section of the air supply path 1 is not shown in FIG. 1, the outer and inner wall surfaces of the air supply path having the same length as the network cable portion are also integrally detached. The attaching and detaching portion has a cup shape having an opening on the upstream side (lower side in the drawing) of the air supply passage, and having a filter 5 surface and a wall surface of the air supply passage. A cleaning mechanism 3 and a part 4 accommodating the filter 5 are provided at one end of the filter 5. The cleaning mechanism 3 is installed in the air supply path 1 of the cloth drying device, and the cleaning mechanism 3 is kept in the cleaning state while the air is being blown. Mechanism storage section 4. The cleaning mechanism of the embodiment in the figure is a general blade cleaning mechanism, and it is a method of cleaning the cotton dust adhering to the filter by contacting the filter. A deep groove is formed in the cleaning mechanism accommodating portion 4, and when the cleaning mechanism (squeegee) is stored, the pressure contact of the tip of the blade is released. Although the cleaning mechanism of this embodiment discloses a relatively simple structure of the blade cleaning mechanism 3, it can also be applied to other cleaning mechanisms or methods including a brush cleaning mechanism. [0036] The operation when removing from the cloth drying device and carrying it to the dust box is the same as in b) of FIG. The shavings 6 are held in the cup 2, which is the same as the previous description. [0037] FIG. 6 (b) shows a state in which the cotton dust 6 is discarded from the filter 5 to the dust box 10. The cup-shaped two parts of this embodiment have a structure in which the wall surface 2f on the side where the filter is mounted and the wall surface 2b on which the cleaning mechanism, that is, the scraper is mounted, are rotated around the rotating movable shaft 22 as a center. When cleaning the filter 5, the opening portion of the cup shape 2 is turned downward in the dust box 10, and the grip portion 21 attached to the wall surface on the side of the filter is rotated by about 90 degrees. As a result, the filter 5 is rotated by the scraper 3 while being rubbed, thereby cleaning the cotton dust on the filter, dropping it to the dust collecting box 10, and discarding it. The attachment / detachment unit 2 of the present invention has a cup shape surrounding the filter 5 and the cleaning mechanism 3. Therefore, the cotton waste 6 can be prevented from falling when the attachment / detachment unit is transported, and the cotton waste 6 swept from the filter 5 by the cleaning mechanism 3 is difficult Scatters and enters the dust box 10 through the opening. [0038] In addition, in the structure of this embodiment, the filter surface after cleaning by the cleaning mechanism 3 protrudes to the opposite side of the cleaning mechanism 3, that is, the outside of the cup shape. Since the cleaned filter 5 protrudes to the outside of the cup shape, the filter 5 surface can be easily handled. Thereby, even in the case where the cleaning of the cleaning mechanism 3 is insufficient, the filter can be simply cleaned. In addition, the removal of the cotton scraps 6 and the like sandwiched between the scrapers 3 can also be performed from the opening surface of the filter after the movement, which is also an easy structure.的 In the structure of this embodiment, the wall surface 2f on the side where the filter 5 is connected by the rotating movable portion is configured to be inseparable from the wall surface 2b on which the cleaning mechanism, that is, the blade 3 is installed. By having an inseparable structure, it is possible to prevent the filter 5 and the like from being forgotten to be attached to the clothes drying apparatus. With the inseparable structure of this embodiment, it is not necessary to provide the aforementioned sensor or the like for preventing leakage on the filter side from being installed on the cloth drying device side. In addition, in this structure, a motor, a switch, or the like may be provided to perform the operation automatically. However, in the same manner as described above, it is necessary to consider operability, cost, and the like. [0039] As described above, using the filter cleaning mechanism of this embodiment and the cloth drying device using the same can realize a simple method for cleaning the filter without the scattering of cotton dust and the like. In addition, a filter cleaning mechanism and a cloth drying device using the same can be provided, and even if the cleaning is insufficient due to normal cleaning operations, the cleaning operation of the filter surface or the scraper can be easily performed.
