Description of the Invention [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a washing machine having a simple drying function according to the wind. [Prior Art] In recent years, for a washing machine, it is desirable to impart a simple drying function according to the wind. Fig. 1 shows an example of a washing machine having such a simple drying function according to the wind. This washing machine forms a vent 2 at the uppermost cover 1, and by rotating an inner tank (not shown) that provides washing, dehydrating, and drying, the vent is sucked into the air outside the machine body to cause wind, and the wind is caused. The laundry located in the inner tank is contacted to dry it. Fig. 1 is a view showing another example of the washing machine having a drying function. In the washing machine, the vent 3 is formed in the cover 1, and the vent cover 4 covering the vent 3 is switchably provided. When the vent cover 4 is opened, the inner groove is opened (this is also not shown). Rotating, the air outside the machine is sucked by the above vent, causing wind to contact the laundry located in the inner tank to dry it. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-described two types of washing machines, in the former, small foreign matter such as hair clips (hair pi η ) enters the vent 2, and is held in place. Between the agitating body at the inner lower portion of the groove and the bottom surface of the inner tub, the rotation of the agitating body or the like is hindered, which causes a malfunction of the washing machine. Further, in the vicinity of the vent hole 2, dust or dust is likely to accumulate, which may easily enter the vent 2 and cause a detrimental washing effect. On the other hand, in the latter case, the above-mentioned case can be avoided by the vent cap 4, but it is necessary to open the vent cap 4 every time the drying operation is performed, resulting in a complicated process. Alternatively, when the vent cap 4 is forgotten to perform the drying operation, the inhalation from the vent 3 cannot be sufficiently performed, and as a result, the drying cannot be sufficiently performed. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the invention is to provide a washing machine which is easy to enter, such as foreign matter, garbage, dust, etc., has good handleability, and can obtain sufficient drying performance. [Means for Solving the Problem] In order to achieve the above object, a first aspect of the washing machine of the present invention includes an outer groove, an inner groove located inside the groove, and a rotary drive for driving the inner groove in the body. The driving device includes a washing machine having a covering member above the outer tub, wherein a vent opening is provided in the covering member, and a vent cap that covers the vent port except a part of the circumferential side is provided. In a second aspect of the washing machine of the present invention, the vent opening is provided in the covering member, and an air filter is provided on the back side or the front side of the vent. A third aspect of the washing machine according to the present invention is characterized in that a vent opening is provided in at least three of the covering members, and a vent cap that covers at least one of the vent ports except for a part of the circumferential side is provided. -6- (3) 1260355 [Effect of the Invention] According to the first aspect, the vent cap prevents foreign matter, garbage, dust, and the like from entering through the vent. Further, in the vent cap, the vent is covered except for a part of the side of the circumference, and the other portion of the side of the vent is opened. Therefore, even when the vent cap is not opened during the drying operation, the opening can be sufficiently inhaled, whereby good handleability and sufficient drying performance can be obtained. According to the second aspect, the air filter prevents foreign matter, garbage, dust, and the like from entering through the vent. Therefore, the air filter can prevent the intrusion of foreign matter, garbage, dust, and the like, and allows air to pass therethrough. Therefore, even if the operation of opening the vent cap is not performed, the air filter can be sufficiently inhaled, whereby good handleability and sufficient drying performance can be obtained. According to the third aspect described above, foreign matter, garbage, dust, or the like is prevented from entering the vent hole by the vent cap at at least one of the vent holes. Further, the vent cap covers the vent opening except for a part of the circumferential side, and one of the circumferential sides of the vent opening is open. Therefore, even if the vent cap is not opened, the opening can be sufficiently inhaled, whereby good drying performance and sufficient drying performance can be obtained.

Moreover, by using a photocatalyst filter, it is possible to absorb the granules different from these, or the taste of the cigarette, so that the taste does not remain on the laundry. The photocatalyst filter can be made by bringing light into contact with the filter. Restore function so it is easy to get. Therefore, when the vent cap 3 3 is made of a transparent material and the light is brought into contact with the air filter 71, the photocatalytic work can be improved. [Fifth Embodiment] In the fifth embodiment shown in Fig. 12, it is formed in Instead of providing a vent cover 33 on the upper surface side of the vent 32, an air filter 8 2 is provided on the lower side of the inner side of the vent 81 of the flat portion of the rear cover 28a. Specifically, the air filtering is performed by engaging the convex portions 85, 86 of the front edge portion of the frame 82a of the air filter 82 before the shackles 83, 84 formed around the vent 81 formed under the rear cover 28a. The device 82 is detachable. A grip portion 87 for performing a removal operation is further protruded from the frame 82a of the air filter 82. In the fifth embodiment, foreign matter, garbage, dust, and the like are prevented from entering by the air vent 81 by the air filter 82. Therefore, the air filter 82 can prevent entry of foreign matter, garbage, dust, and the like, and allows air to pass therethrough. Therefore, when the drying operation is performed, the air filter 82 can be sufficiently inhaled without performing the operation of opening the vent cap -13·(10) 1260355, whereby good handleability and sufficient drying performance can be obtained. In this case, the air filter 82 may also use a filter that can suck the fine particles, or the above-described electrostatic filter or photocatalyst filter. Further, the air filter 82 may be provided on the upper side of the front side of the vent port 8 1 instead of the vent cap 33 described above. [Embodiment 6] In the sixth embodiment shown in Figs. 13 and 14, at least three places of the cover 28, particularly at the bottom of the recess 31 of the rear cover 28a at the central portion of the cover 28, Vents 32, 91, and 92 having a plurality of small holes are provided in a lower portion of the handle portion 41 of the front cover 28b of the peripheral portion and a rear edge wall portion of the rear cover 28a. Further, a vent cover 33 is provided for the vent 32, and the handle portion 41 functions as a vent cover similar to the vent cover 33 with respect to the vent 91. Further, in this case, the vent opening 32 of the center portion is formed by the number of the vent holes 9 1 and 92 having the number of holes larger than that of the peripheral portion, thereby improving the air permeability. In the sixth embodiment, the vents 32, 911 of the vents 32, 91, 92 are prevented from foreign matter, garbage, dust, etc. by the vent cap 3 3 and the handle portion 41 corresponding to the vent cap, respectively. The vent is invaded. Further, the gas outlet 92 is prevented by the front edge portion of the back cover 30 which is close thereto. Among these, the vent cap 33 and the handle portion 41 corresponding to the vent cap are used to separate the vents 3 2, 9 1 from a part of the circumferential side (the rear portion in the illustrated example). Covered by the vents of the week • 14 - (11) 1260355 One side of the side is open with openings 3 4, 9 3 . Therefore, when the drying operation is performed, the vent cap 3 3 and the handle portion 4 1 corresponding to the vent cap can be sufficiently inhaled by the opening (the opening 3 4, 9 3 ), whereby the treatment can be obtained. Good performance and sufficient drying performance. Further, by providing the air vents 3 2, 91, and 92 at one of the central portions of the cover 28 of the cover member 28 and the peripheral portions, as shown by arrows in Fig. 13 , the central portion can be inhaled. Since the exhaust gas is exhausted from the peripheral portion, the exhaust gas can be efficiently performed, so that the drying performance can be improved. Further, since the air permeability of the vent hole 32 at the center portion is higher than that of the vent ports 91 and 92 at the peripheral portion, the air can be sufficiently inhaled, and the drying performance can be further improved. Further, the exhaust system is also provided with other suitable gaps or the bottom opening of the base 12 except for the vents 9 1 and 92 of the peripheral portion. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments shown in the drawings, and in particular, the venting port may be provided, for example, in a cover, an operation panel, or a back cover, in addition to the cover member of the cover, without exceeding Within the scope of the subject matter, appropriate changes can be implemented and implemented.
