Description

衣物处理装置 技术领域
本发明涉及一种对衣物实施烘干、褶皱抚平等处理的衣物处理装置。
背景技术
以往,已知一种衣物处理装置,其在收容部内悬挂衣物,能通过暖风烘干该衣物或通过蒸汽将该衣物的褶皱抚平。例如,专利文献1中记载了这样的衣物处理装置的一个例子。
在上述衣物处理装置中,如果暖风与衣物的接触效率差,则烘干效率变差,从而难以提高烘干性能。因此,为了提高烘干性能,可以要求使暖风与衣物的接触效率良好。
此外,在上述衣物处理装置中,蒸汽所接触的衣物的表面通过衣物的自重被抚平,由此去除衣物的褶皱,但如果能使抚平衣物的表面那样的进一步的力作用于衣物的话,则能提高褶皱抚平的性能。

发明内容
发明所要解决的问题
因此,本发明的目的在于提供一种衣物处理装置,其能提高烘干和褶皱抚平的性能。
用于解决问题的方案
本发明的主要方案的衣物处理装置具备:收容室,将衣物以悬挂的状态收容;暖风供给部,向所述收容室内供给暖风;蒸汽供给部,向所述收容室内供 给蒸汽;以及空气循环部,吸入所述收容室内的空气并向所述收容室内吹出,使吹出的空气前往悬挂的衣物。其中,所述空气循环部包括:循环风扇,使从吸气口吸入的空气从排出口吹出;转向构件,与从所述排出口吹出的空气接触,使该空气转向;以及驱动部,使所述转向构件摆动以改变空气的转向角度。
根据上述结构,在烘干衣物时,通过暖风供给部向收容室内供给暖风,而此时能使空气循环部工作。这种情况下,从吸入口摄入通过暖风的供给而变暖的收容室内的空气并将其以暖风的形式从排出口吹出。吹出的暖风通过转向构件被转向而前往衣物。此时,转向构件摆动而使得暖风的转向角度发生变化,因此暖风从各个方向与衣物接触。由此,暖风与衣物的接触效率变好,衣物变得容易烘干。
而且,暖风从各个方向与衣物接触,即,暖风推压衣物的方向发生变化,因此悬挂的衣物会摇晃。由此,能使暖风触及衣物的袖子与主体之间等在衣物的静止状态下难以触及的部分。此外,附着在衣物上的灰尘变得容易掉落。
此外,在抚平衣物的褶皱时,通过蒸汽供给部向收容室内供给蒸汽,而此时能使空气循环部工作。这种情况下,从吸入口摄入收容室内的空气以风的形式从排出口吹出。吹出的风通过摆动的转向构件被转向,由此从各个方向与衣物接触,使衣物摇晃。当衣物在悬挂状态下摇晃时,容易对衣物施加离心力等力。由此,蒸汽碰到的衣物的表面变得容易抚平,衣物的褶皱容易伸展。此外,由于衣物摇晃,因此能使附着在衣物上的灰尘掉落。
进而,在抚平衣物的褶皱时,能在向收容室供给蒸汽之前使空气循环部工作。这种情况下,在衣物被蒸汽润湿之前,衣物会摇晃,因此灰尘容易从衣物上掉落。
在本方案的衣物处理装置中,可以采用如下结构:还具备向所述收容室内供给臭氧的臭氧供给部。
根据上述结构,在对衣物进行除臭时,通过臭氧供给部向收容室内供给暖风,而此时能使空气循环部工作。这种情况下,从吸入口摄入含有收容室内的臭氧的空气并将其以臭氧风的形式从排出口吹出。吹出的臭氧风通过摆动的转向构件被转向,由此从各个方向与衣物接触。由此,臭氧风与衣物的接触效率 变好,衣物变得容易除臭。此外,通过衣物摇晃,能使臭氧触及在衣物静止状态下难以触及的衣物的部分,此外,附着在衣物上的灰尘容易掉落。
在本方案的衣物处理装置中,能在所述收容室设置用于将衣物保持在悬挂状态的保持部。这种情况下,所述循环风扇为横流风扇,所述横流风扇包括具有配置成圆筒状的叶轮且轴向尺寸大于径向尺寸的风扇,以所述风扇的轴向与由所述保持部悬挂的衣物的前后方向交叉的朝向配置于所述收容室的底部。
根据上述结构,由于能以在衣物的左右方向即宽度方向上范围更大的方式使风前往衣物,因此,能使风更好地与衣物接触,能更好地烘干衣物或更好地抚平衣物的褶皱。
在本方案的衣物处理装置中,可以采用如下结构:所述吸入口在接近所述收容室的底面的位置,在沿着该底面的方向上开口。这种情况下,在所述循环风扇,在所述吸入口与所述风扇之间,设置有用于捕集灰尘的过滤器。
根据上述结构,落到收容室的底面的灰尘容易与沿着收容室的底面流向吸气口的空气一起被吸入到吸气口,容易被设置于吸入口的过滤器捕集。因此,不容易形成灰尘留在收容室的底面的状态。
在采用上述结构的情况下,进而,所述吸入口的下端可以高于所述收容室的底面。这种情况下,在所述吸入口的前方设置有倾斜部,该倾斜部具有从所述收容室的底面朝向所述吸入口的下端上升的倾斜面。
根据上述结构,即使循环风扇采用吸入口的下端高于收容室的底面的结构,收容室的底面的灰尘也会在倾斜部的倾斜面上移动而被顺利地摄入到吸气口。
发明效果
根据本发明,能提供一种衣物处理装置,其能提高烘干和褶皱抚平的性能。

臭氧去除过滤器360收容在过滤器壳体351内。与臭氧去除过滤器271相同,能在臭氧去除过滤器360中使用活性炭/催化剂过滤器。需要说明的是,在吸气口101设置有去除从吸气口101摄入的空气中所含的灰尘等的灰尘过滤器120。
在门500,在后表面中的与箱体100的吸气口101对应的位置形成有多个通 气孔501,在底面形成有空气的摄入口502。在门500的内部,摄入口502与多个通气孔501连通。当鼓风扇340工作时,外部的空气通过摄入口502、通气孔501以及吸气口101被摄入吸气管道350内。
参照图3,第二供给单元400包括第二供给管道410、蒸汽发生装置420以及排水装置430。第二供给管道410具有下部向右方鼓出的形状。在第二供给管道410,在上端部设置有与第二供给口220的入口连接的导出口411。此外,在第二供给管道410,在下部的右侧面设置有导入口412。进而,在第二供给管道410,在导入口412的下方,通过使其底部低于导入口412的位置而设置有贮水部413。在贮水部413的底面设置有排出口414。

主体部471被加热器472加热而成为高温。由泵461送来的水滴落到蒸汽发生室473的底面而蒸发,从而产生高温的蒸汽。产生的蒸汽通过放出口475放出到第二供给管道410内。
排水装置430包括排水箱480和排水软管490。排水软管490在上端部具有 与第二供给管道410的排出口414连接的连接口491。在连接口491,以堵住排出口414的方式配置有挡板492。挡板492是例如金属制的网眼细的网板,用于在除臭/除菌运转时使供给至收容室200内的臭氧不容易通过排水软管490漏到箱体100的内部。
排水箱480是用于回收在第二供给管道410内产生的结露水的容器。排水箱480在箱体100内可拆装地设置于未图示的排水箱设置部。当排水箱480设置于排水箱设置部时,其入口481位于排水软管490的下端的正下方。
在箱体100的前表面,在设置于箱体100内的供水箱440和排水箱480的正面位置,设置有这些箱440、480的出入口102。出入口102由可开闭的盖103覆盖(参照图1)。用户能通过打开门500并打开盖103,向箱体100内取出放入供水箱440和排水箱480。
参照图6和图7,空气循环单元600具备循环风扇610和百叶机构620。空气循环单元600相当于本发明的空气循环部。
循环风扇610是横流风扇,包括风扇611、壳体612以及风扇马达613。风扇611具有配置成圆筒状的叶轮611a,轴向尺寸比径向尺寸大很多。本实施方式中,风扇611的轴向尺寸设为与L尺寸的运动衣等标准尺寸的衣物的宽度相同程度的尺寸。在风扇611,在中心设置有风扇轴614。风扇轴614的两端部从风扇611的两端面突出。
风扇611收容在壳体612内,风扇轴614的两端部可旋转地支承于壳体612的两侧面。在壳体612,在风扇611的前侧设置有向上方和前方开口的吸入口615,在风扇611的后侧设置有向上方开口的排出口616。吸入口615和排出口616的轴向尺寸与风扇611的尺寸大致相同。即,吸入口615和排出口616具有轴向上长的形状。
风扇轴614的右侧的端部贯通壳体612的右侧的侧面,进而贯通收容室200的右侧面。收容室200的右侧面中与空气循环单元600对应的部分向内侧凹陷,在该部分的外侧装配有风扇马达613。贯通收容室200的右侧面的风扇轴614与风扇马达613的转子(未图示)连结。
风扇马达613经由风扇轴614对风扇611进行旋转驱动。当风扇611旋转 时,从吸入口615吸入空气,吸入的空气被风扇611送走,从排出口616吹出。
百叶机构620包括百叶621和百叶马达622。百叶621相当于本发明的转向构件,百叶马达622相当于本发明的驱动部。
百叶621具有在循环风扇610的轴向上长的方形形状,具有比循环风扇610的排出口616稍大的尺寸。在百叶621的左右两端部设置有檐部623,在檐部623的下端部设置有百叶轴624。在循环风扇610,在壳体612的两侧面的后上端部设置有支承部617。百叶621的两侧的百叶轴624可旋转地支承于壳体612的两侧的支承部617。由此,百叶621位于排出口616的上方,能向上下方向摆动。
百叶轴624的右侧的端部贯通右侧的支承部617,进而贯通收容室200的右侧面。在收容室200的右侧面的外侧,在风扇马达613的上方装配有百叶马达622。贯通收容室200的右侧面的百叶轴624与百叶马达622的转子(未图示)连结。
百叶马达622通过正转和反转规定的旋转角,从而经由百叶轴624使百叶621摆动。从循环风扇610的排出口616向上方吹出的空气与百叶621接触而转向。空气的转向角度随着摆动的百叶621的角度而变化,空气即风前往的方向发生变化。
循环风扇610即空气循环单元600以风扇611的轴向与由衣架台250悬挂的衣物的前后方向交叉的朝向,在本实施方式中以正交的朝向配置于收容室200的底部的后端部。此时,循环风扇610中,风扇611的轴向的中心与衣架台250的杆251相同,位于收容室200的左右方向的中央。
图8是表示衣物处理装置1的结构的框图。
衣物处理装置1除了上述的结构之外,还具备操作部701和控制部702。
操作部701包括用于选择运转模式的选择按钮、用于开始运转的开始按钮等操作按钮,将与用户操作的操作按钮对应的操作信号输出到控制部702。
控制部702包括微型计算机、各种驱动电路等,对第一供给单元300的臭氧发生器320、加热器330和鼓风扇340、第二供给单元400的泵461和加热器 472、空气循环单元600的风扇马达613和百叶马达622等进行控制。
本实施方式的衣物处理装置1能进行如下运转:进行衣物的除臭/除菌的除臭/除菌运转、进行衣物的烘干的烘干运转以及抚平衣物的褶皱的褶皱抚平运转。
图9是表示衣物处理装置1的运转控制的流程图。
当运转开始的操作被执行时,控制部702判定除臭/除菌运转、烘干运转以及褶皱抚平运转当中的某种运转已被选择(S1)。
在选择了除臭/除菌运转的情况下(S1:除臭/除菌),除臭/除菌运转开始,控制部702执行除臭/除菌过程(S2)。除臭/除菌过程中,在第一供给单元300中,控制部702使鼓风扇340和臭氧发生器320进行工作。如图5所示,外部的空气从吸气口101被摄入吸气管道350,通过过滤器壳体351内的臭氧去除过滤器360去除空气中所含的臭氧。去除了臭氧的空气通过鼓风扇340被送入第一供给管道310内。
如图2所示,在第一供给管道310内流动的空气穿过臭氧发生器320,这时,在臭氧发生器320中产生的臭氧混入空气中。这样,含有臭氧的空气通过第一供给管道310内到达第一供给口210,从第一供给口210排出到收容室200内。排出的含有臭氧的空气碰到罩240而向周围扩散,其中一部分从多个排出孔244排出,剩余部分从罩240与收容室200的底面之间排出。这样,含有臭氧的空气通过罩240被扩散并前往上方的衣物,大面积地与衣物接触。衣物通过臭氧的除臭/除菌作用被除臭/除菌。
通过衣物的除臭/除菌而降低了臭氧浓度的空气通过设置于收容室200的上部的排气过滤单元270的臭氧去除过滤器271和排气口202排出到箱体100外。通过臭氧去除过滤器271去除空气中的臭氧。
进而,除臭/除菌过程中,在空气循环单元600中,控制部702驱动风扇马达613使循环风扇610工作的同时,驱动百叶马达622使百叶621沿上下方向摆动。这时,百叶621既可以连续摆动,也可以每往返一次或往返多次摆动就停止规定时间。
如图7所示,含有收容室200内的臭氧的空气从吸入口615被摄入到壳体612内,以臭氧风的形式从排出口616吹出。吹出的臭氧风通过百叶621被转向 而前往衣物。这时,百叶621摆动使得臭氧风的转向角度发生变化,因此臭氧风从各个方向与衣物接触。由此,臭氧风与衣物的接触效率变好,衣物变得容易除臭/除菌。此外,衣物被来自各个方向的臭氧风推压,从而悬挂的衣物会摇晃。由此,能使臭氧触及衣物的袖子与身体之间等在衣物静止状态下难以触及的部分。此外,附着在衣物上的灰尘容易掉落。
当经过规定的除臭/除菌时间时,控制部702使臭氧发生器320、鼓风扇340、循环风扇610以及百叶621停止工作,结束除臭/除菌过程。这样,除臭/除菌运转结束。
另一方面,当控制部702判定在S1中选择了烘干运转时(S1:烘干),则开始烘干运转,执行烘干过程(S3)。烘干过程中,在第一供给单元300中,控制部702使鼓风扇340和加热器330进行工作。如图2所示,被鼓风扇340摄入并在第一供给管道310内流动的空气被加热器330加热,成为适合烘干的温度(例如60℃左右)的暖风。然后,暖风到达第一供给口210,从第一供给口210排出到收容室200内。排出的暖风与含有臭氧的空气相同,通过罩240被扩散并前往上方的衣物,大面积地与衣物接触。由此,衣物被烘干。从衣物中夺取水分后的暖风通过排气口202排出到外部。
进而,烘干过程中,在空气循环单元600中,控制部702使循环风扇610工作的同时,使百叶621向上下方向摆动。如图7所示,通过暖风的供给而变暖的收容室200内的空气从吸入口615被摄入到壳体612内,以暖风的形式从排出口616吹出。吹出的暖风通过摆动的百叶621被转向,由此从各个方向与衣物接触。由此,暖风与衣物的接触效率变好,衣物变得容易烘干。此外,衣物会摇晃,由此能使暖风触及在衣物静止状态下难以触及的衣物的部分,此外,附着在衣物上的灰尘变得容易掉落。
当经过规定的烘干时间时,控制部702使加热器330、鼓风扇340、循环风扇610以及百叶621停止工作,结束烘干过程。这样,烘干运转结束。
另一方面,当控制部702判定在S1中选择了褶皱抚平运转时(S1:褶皱抚平),则开始褶皱抚平运转,执行准备过程(S4)。准备过程中,在第二供给单元400中,控制部702在使泵461停止的状态下使蒸汽发生器470的加热器 472工作。由此,蒸汽发生器470的主体部471的温度上升。
进而,准备过程中,在空气循环单元600中,控制部702使循环风扇610工作的同时,使百叶621向上下方向摆动。如图7所示,收容室200内的空气从吸入口615被摄入到壳体612内,以风的形式从排出口616吹出。吹出的风通过摆动的百叶621被转向,由此从各个方向与衣物接触,使衣物摇晃。由此,灰尘变得容易从衣物掉落。
当蒸汽发生器470的主体部471温度足够高时,控制部702结束准备过程,执行蒸汽过程(S5)。蒸汽过程中,控制部702在使加热器472继续工作的状态下使泵461进行工作。如图3所示,在蒸汽发生器470中产生高温的蒸汽,放出至第二供给管道410内。被放出的蒸汽在第二供给管道410内上升而到达第二供给口220,从第二供给口220排出到收容室200内。排出的蒸汽碰到罩240而向周围扩散,其中一部分从多个排出孔244排出,剩余部分从罩240与收容室200的底面之间排出。这样,蒸汽通过罩240被扩散并前往上方的衣物,大面积地与衣物接触。通过蒸汽所具有的水分和热,将衣物的褶皱抚平。
当蒸汽在第二供给管道410内流动时,其中一部分可能会结露而产生结露水。结露水流向下方并蓄在贮水部413中,从排出口414排出。排出的结露水通过排水软管490回收到排水箱480中。这样,在本实施方式中,由于在第二供给管道410的导入口412的下方设置有蓄积结露水的贮水部413,因此,能防止结露水从导入口412流向蒸汽发生器470的内部。
进而,蒸汽过程中,循环风扇610和百叶621继续工作。衣物由于从排出口616吹出并通过百叶621转向的风而摇晃。当衣物在悬挂状态下摇晃时,容易对衣物施加离心力等力。由此,蒸汽碰到的衣物的表面变得容易抚平,因此,衣物的褶皱变得容易伸展。此外,虽然由于衣物被蒸汽润湿而不处于准备过程中的干燥状态,但是通过衣物摇晃,能使附着在衣物上的灰尘掉落。
当经过规定的蒸汽供给时间时,控制部702使加热器472和泵461停止,结束蒸汽过程。
接着,控制部702执行烘干过程(S6)。烘干过程与烘干运转中的烘干运转相同,鼓风扇340和加热器330工作,循环风扇610和百叶621也继续工作。 由此,将被蒸汽润湿的衣物烘干。需要说明的是,褶皱抚平运转中的烘干过程的烘干时间可以设定为适合褶皱抚平运转,可以不同于烘干运转的烘干时间。
当烘干过程结束时,控制部702执行换气过程(S7)。即,在烘干过程之后控制部702继续使循环风扇610和百叶621工作。收容室200内的空气从吸入口615被摄入,从排出口616向收容室200内吹出,由此外部的空气通过第一供给单元300的吸气管道350和第一供给管道310从第一供给口210摄入到收容室200内,收容室200内的空气通过排气口202排出到外部。由此,收容室200内被换气,即使收容室200内的内壁等被蒸汽弄湿也会变干。
当经过规定的换气时间时,控制部702使循环风扇610和百叶621停止工作,结束换气过程。这样,褶皱抚平运转结束。
需要说明的是,在衣物处理装置1中,除了除臭/除菌运转、烘干运转、褶皱抚平运转之外,也可以进行例如在烘干之后进行除臭/除菌的烘干/除臭/除菌运转。
<实施方式的效果>

此外,根据本实施方式,能在对衣物施加蒸汽抚平褶皱时,通过使空气循环单元600工作,摇晃收容室200的衣物。由此,衣物的褶皱容易伸展,此外,能使附着在衣物上的灰尘掉落。
进而,根据本实施方式,能在通过臭氧对衣物进行除臭/除菌时,通过使空气循环单元600工作,使臭氧风从各个方向与收容室200内的衣物接触。由此,臭氧风与衣物的接触效率变好,衣物变得容易除臭/除菌。此外,通过来自各个方向的臭氧风使得衣物摇晃,由此能使臭氧触及在衣物静止状态下难以触及的衣物的部分,此外,附着在衣物上的灰尘容易掉落。
进而,根据本实施方式,循环风扇610为横流风扇,该横流风扇包括具有 配置成圆筒状的叶轮611a且轴向尺寸大于径向尺寸的风扇611,以风扇611的轴向与被衣架台250悬挂的衣物的前后方向交叉的朝向配置于收容室200的底部。由此,如图6所示,由于能以在衣物的左右方向即宽度方向上范围更大的方式使风前往衣物,因此,能使风更好地与衣物接触,能更好地烘干衣物或更好地抚平衣物的褶皱。
以上,对本发明的实施方式进行了说明,但本发明不受上述实施方式的任何限制,此外,本发明的实施方式也可以进行上述以外的各种变形。

本变形例中,在除臭/除菌运转的除臭/除菌过程(S2)、烘干运转的烘干过程(S3)以及褶皱抚平运转的准备过程(S4)、蒸汽过程(S5)、烘干过程(S6)和换气过程(S7)中,在空气循环单元600即循环风扇610A和百叶621工作时,通过摇晃衣物,附着在衣物上的灰尘落到收容室200的底面上。
本变形例中,循环风扇610A中的摄入口635在接近收容室200的底面的位置在沿着该底面的方向上开口。因此,如图11所示,落到收容室200的底面的灰尘变得容易与沿着收容室200的底面流向吸入口635的空气一起吸入到吸入口635。然后,被吸入到吸入口635的灰尘被过滤器633捕集。这时,虽然吸入口635的下端高于收容室200的底面,但是由于在吸入口635的前方设置有倾斜部636,因此灰尘在倾斜部636的倾斜面上移动并顺利地摄入到吸入口635中。
此外,本变形例中,在除臭/除菌运转和烘干过程中,控制部702分别在除臭/除菌过程和烘干过程之后执行清扫过程(S11、S12)。清扫过程中,在空气循环单元600中,控制部702使循环风扇610A和百叶621工作规定的清扫时间。附着在衣物上的灰尘在除臭/除菌过程、烘干过程中基本掉落。因此,清扫过程中,从衣物落下来的灰尘少,主要是落到收容室200的底面上的灰尘从吸入口635被吸入并被过滤器633回收。因此,通过在除臭/除菌运转和烘干运转中设置清扫过程,提高了将落在收容室200的底面上的灰尘回收的效果。需要说明的是,褶皱抚平运转中,换气过程兼作清扫过程。
需要说明的是,在清扫过程(S11、S12)中,也可以使百叶621不摆动,从而使衣物不容易摇晃。
以上,根据本变形例,能将落到收容室200的底面上的灰尘通过配置于循环风扇610A的过滤器633进行回收,因此,不容易形成灰尘留在收容室200的底面的状态。
<其他的变形例>
上述实施方式中,从第一供给单元300向收容室200内供给臭氧和暖风这两者。但是,也可以分开设置向衣物处理装置1供给臭氧的臭氧供给单元和供给暖风的暖风供给单元。
此外,上述实施方式中,衣物处理装置1进行除臭/除菌运转。但是,衣物处理装置1也可以不进行除臭/除菌运转,可以不在第一供给单元300中配置臭氧发生器320。
进而,第二供给单元400的蒸汽发生器470是如下结构:使由泵461送来的水落到高温的蒸汽发生室473的底面而使其蒸发,由此产生蒸汽。但是,蒸汽发生器470不局限于上述结构,也可以是如下结构:例如,将蓄有水的水槽加热而使水沸腾,由此产生蒸汽。
进而,上述实施方式中,衣物处理装置1是从箱体100的吸气口101摄入外部的空气并从收容室200的排气口202向外部排出空气的排气式装置。但是,衣物处理装置1也可以是用规定的风路将收容室200的排气口202与箱体100的吸气口101连结的循环式装置。
进而,上述实施方式中,空气循环单元600配置于收容室200内的底部。但是,空气循环单元600也可以配置于收容室200内的底部之外的部分。此外,空气循环单元600也可以设置于收容室200的外部的底部、底部之外的部分。
进而,本实施方式中,虽然使用横流风扇作为循环风扇610,但是也可以使用西洛克风扇等横流风扇之外的风扇。
除此之外,本发明的实施方式可以在技术方案所示的技术思想的范围内适当地进行各种变形。
