Description

衣物处理装置 技术领域
本发明涉及对衣物实施烘干等处理的衣物处理装置。
背景技术
以往，已知有能在容纳部内悬挂衣物，利用暖风来烘干该衣物或利用蒸汽来展平该衣物的褶皱的衣物处理装置。例如在专利文献1中记载有这样的衣物处理装置的一例。
烘干前的衣物因为含有水分而膨胀，所以处于没有起皱的状态，随着烘干的进行，衣物收缩的话容易起皱。因此，如果能在衣物被烘干时展平悬挂的衣物，就不易起皱，因此优选。
也可以在将蒸汽吹到衣物上进行褶皱展平的情况下也为了弄干被蒸汽弄湿的衣物而进行烘干。对于这种烘干，也需要避免衣物产生褶皱。
因此，可以考虑通过使将衣物保持为悬挂状态的保持部(例如，衣架悬挂装置)摆动来晃动衣物，使衣物受到离心力等的作用而使衣物容易展平。
然而，悬挂在保持部的衣物根据形状、重量等该衣物的状态，容易晃动的摆动频率可能因共振而发生变化。因此，担心如果只是单纯地使保持部摆动，根据衣物的状态，衣物不会像期待的那样晃动，不易抑制起皱。

需要说明的是，摆动频率不仅可以直接确定，也可以根据结果来确定。例如，在激振部采用通过马达的旋转来使保持部摆动的结构的情况下，当确定了马达的转速时，结果就确定了保持部的摆动频率。
根据上述的结构，无论重量、形状等状态如何，都能充分晃动衣物，因此可以期待充分抑制衣物的起皱。
在本方案的衣物处理装置中，也可以采用如下结构：所述晃动检测部包括拍摄部，所述拍摄部对悬挂在所述保持部的衣物进行拍摄。
根据上述的结构，能通过解析由拍摄部拍摄到的图像来检测衣物的晃动幅度。
在本方案的衣物处理装置中，可以采用还具备对所述容纳室内的湿度进行检测的湿度检测部的结构。在该情况下，可以是，在由所述湿度检测部得到的检测湿度为阈值以下时，所述控制部通过所述激振部来开始所述保持部的摆动。
根据上述的结构，能在衣物的含水量降低到要开始起皱的量的时间点使衣物开始晃动，因此能避免激振部在不易得到褶皱展平效果的期间工作，抑制电力的浪费等。

衣架悬挂装置610上挂着挂有衣物的衣架。两个支承部620分别固定于容 纳室200的左右侧面。在各支承部620形成有轨道槽621，衣架悬挂装置610的左右端部嵌入轨道槽621。由此，衣架悬挂装置610以能在左右方向上水平移动的方式由两个支承部620支承。激振机构部630装接于衣架悬挂装置610，使衣架悬挂装置610在水平方向上摆动。
图6的(a)至(d)是用于说明衣架悬挂装置610和激振机构部630的结构的图。图6的(a)是装接有激振机构部630的衣架悬挂装置610的主视图，图6的(b)是衣架悬挂装置610的俯视图。图6的(c)和(d)分别是表示衣架悬挂装置610被激振机构部630向右方向和左方向移动的状态的图。需要说明的是，在图6的(b)中，为了便于说明，示出了容纳在凸轮槽613中的激振机构部630的辊633。此外，在图6的(c)和(d)中，用截面示出衣架悬挂装置610。
衣架悬挂装置610具有在左右方向上长的形状。在衣架悬挂装置610的下表面，以在左右方向上按规定的间隔排列的方式设有用于悬挂衣架的多个钩部611。在衣架悬挂装置610的上表面于中央的凹部612形成有在前后方向上延伸的椭圆形凸轮槽613。此外，在衣架悬挂装置610的上表面，以包围凹部612的方式设有方形筒状的罩部614。
激振机构部630包括摆动马达631、凸轮轴632以及辊633。凸轮轴632连接于摆动马达631的马达轴631a。在凸轮轴632的前端部形成有在与马达轴631a垂直的方向上延伸的臂632a。在臂632a的前端旋转自如地装配有辊633。辊633容纳在衣架悬挂装置610的凸轮槽613中。
当摆动马达631工作而凸轮轴632旋转时，如图6的(b)的箭头和虚线所示，辊633描绘出圆轨道进行移动，凸轮槽613在左右方向上移动。由此，如图6的(c)和(d)所示，衣架悬挂装置610向右方向和左方向交替移动。即，衣架悬挂装置610以与摆动马达631的转速对应的摆动频率在左右方向上摆动。
如图2所示，可以以衣物的前后方向成为衣架悬挂装置610的延伸方向的方式，将多个衣物并排挂在衣架悬挂装置610上。激振机构部630的摆动马达631配置于容纳室200的顶面与箱体100的顶面之间，凸轮轴632贯通容纳室200的顶面连接于摆动马达631。凸轮轴632成为被衣架悬挂装置610的罩部614覆盖而被隐藏的状态。
参照图2和图5，第一供给单元300包括第一供给管道310、臭氧发生器320、加热器330、送风扇340以及进气管道350。
第一供给管道310中，其导入口311连接于送风扇340的排出口342，其导出口312连接于第一供给口210的入口。臭氧发生器320配置于第一供给管道310内的导入口311的附近。第一供给管道310具有如下形状：从导入口311向左方延伸，在从经过臭氧发生器320的配置位置的部分以向右方折回的方式弯曲后，向上方延伸至第一供给口210。
臭氧发生器320是放电方式的臭氧发生器，在一对电极间产生电晕放电、无声放电等放电，由通过一对电极间的空气生成臭氧。加热器330在第一供给管道310内配置于比臭氧发生器320靠第一供给口210侧，对在第一供给管道310内流动的空气进行加热。作为加热器330，例如可以使用PTC加热器。
送风扇340是离心扇，在侧面设有吸入口341，在周面设有排出口342。送风扇340从吸入口341摄入空气，并将摄入的空气送向第一供给管道310内的臭氧发生器320。作为送风扇340，也可以使用离心扇以外的风扇，例如轴流扇。
在箱体100的前表面的与送风扇340的吸入口341对置的位置形成有进气口101。在进气口101设有去除从进气口101摄入的空气中所含的尘埃等的灰尘过滤器120。
进气管道350的一端连接于进气口101，另一端连接于吸入口341。在门500的后表面的与箱体100的进气口101对应的位置形成有多个通气孔501，并在底面形成有空气的摄入口502。在门500的内部，摄入口502和多个通气孔501连通。在送风扇340工作时，衣物处理装置1的外部的空气通过摄入口502、通气孔501以及进气口101被摄入进气管道350内。以下，将衣物处理装置1的外部称为机外。
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于上端部设有连接于第二供给口220的入口的导出口411。此外，在第二供给管道410于下部的右侧面设有导入口412。而且，在第二供给管道410，通过使其底部低于导入口412的位置，在导入口412的下方设有贮水部413。在贮 水部413的底面设有排出口414。
蒸汽发生装置420包括供水箱440、供水桶450、泵模块460以及蒸汽发生器470。供水箱440中蓄有向蒸汽发生器470供给的水。供水箱440在箱体100内可拆装地设置于未图示的供水箱设置部。当供水箱440设置于供水箱设置部时，其供给口441从上方连接于供水桶450的入口451。在供给口441设有开闭阀442，当供给口441连接于入口451时，开闭阀442打开，从供水箱440向供水桶450供水，整个供水桶450内充满水。
泵模块460包括泵461、连接软管462以及供水软管463。泵461的吸入口通过连接软管462连接于供水桶450的出口452。在泵461的排出口连接有供水软管463。泵461将供水桶450内的水通过连接软管462吸入并通过供水软管463送到蒸汽发生器470。
蒸汽发生器470包括主体部471和加热器472，经由未图示的隔热构件装接于第二供给管道410的导入口412。主体部471由压铸铝等金属材料形成，内部具有蒸汽发生室473。此外，在主体部471于蒸汽发生室473的上方设有连接有供水软管463的供水口474，于蒸汽发生室473的右方设有与第二供给管道410内相连的放出口475。加热器472被埋入主体部471。
主体部471被加热器472加热而变成高温。由泵461输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被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在上端部具有连接于第二供给管道410的排出口414的连接口491。在连接口491以堵塞排出口414的方式配置有挡板492。挡板492例如是金属制的网眼细的网板，用于在脱臭/除菌运转时使供给到容纳室200内的臭氧不易通过排水软管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内产生的凝结水的容器。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的前表面于设置于箱体100内的供水箱440和排水箱480的正 面位置设有这些箱440、480的出入口102。出入口102被可开闭的盖103覆盖(参照图1)。用户能通过打开门500并打开盖103来向箱体100内取放供水箱440和排水箱480。
图7的(a)是在空气循环单元700的前方位置剖切的衣物处理装置1的主要部分的正面剖视图，图7的(b)是卸下罩712b的状态的空气循环单元700的主视图。图8是衣物处理装置1的主要部分的侧面剖视图。需要说明的是，在图7的(a)和图8中用实线箭头、虚线箭头表示从空气循环单元700吹出的空气流。此外，在图7的(a)中，为了便于说明，用单点划线描绘出位于剖切面的前方的衣架悬挂装置610。
在容纳室200的内部于底部且于容纳室200的后表面的附近配置有空气循环单元700。空气循环单元700吸入容纳室200内的空气并向容纳室200内吹出，使吹出的空气吹向悬挂的衣物。
空气循环单元700具备循环扇710和通风板(louver)机构720。循环扇710是横流扇，包括风扇711、外壳712以及风扇马达713。风扇711具有配置成圆筒状的叶轮711a，轴向的尺寸比径向的尺寸大很多。在风扇711的中心设有风扇轴714。风扇轴714的两端部从风扇711的两端面突出。
风扇711容纳在外壳712内，风扇轴714的两端部可旋转地支承于外壳712的两侧面。外壳712由前表面开口的主体712a和覆盖主体712a的前表面的罩712b构成。在外壳712于风扇711的前侧即罩712b的前表面设有向前方开口的吸入口715，于风扇711的后侧设有向上方开口的排出口716。吸入口715在沿着容纳室200的底面的方向上开口，其下端比容纳室200的底面稍高。在吸入口715设有呈格子状延伸的多个格棂715a。吸入口715和排出口716的轴向尺寸与风扇711的尺寸大致相同。即，吸入口715和排出口716具有在轴向上长的形状。
在外壳712内于吸入口715与风扇711之间配置有过滤器717。过滤器717捕集与空气一起从吸入口715吸入的尘埃。
风扇轴714的右侧端部贯通外壳712的右侧侧面，进而贯通容纳室200的右侧面。容纳室200的右侧面的与空气循环单元700对应的部分向内侧凹陷， 在该部分的外侧装配有风扇马达713。贯通容纳室200的右侧面的风扇轴714连结于风扇马达713的转子(未图示)。
风扇马达713经由风扇轴714驱动风扇711旋转。当风扇711旋转时，从吸入口715吸入空气，吸入的空气被风扇711输送，从排出口716吹出。
通风板机构720包括通风板721和通风板马达722。通风板721具有在循环扇710的轴向上长的方形，具有比循环扇710的排出口716稍大的尺寸。在通风板721的左右两端部设有檐部723，在檐部723的下端部设有通风板轴724。在循环扇710于外壳712的两侧面的后上端部设有支承部718。通风板721的两侧的通风板轴724可旋转地支承于外壳712的两侧的支承部718。由此，通风板721位于排出口716的上方，能在上下方向上摆动。
通风板轴724的右侧端部贯通右侧支承部718，进而贯通容纳室200的右侧面。在容纳室200的右侧面的外侧于风扇马达713的上方装配有通风板马达722。贯通容纳室200的右侧面的通风板轴724连结于通风板马达722的转子(未图示)。
通风板马达722通过按规定的旋转角正转和反转，经由通风板轴724使通风板721摆动。从循环扇710的排出口716向上方吹出的空气与通风板721接触而转向。空气的转向角度根据摆动的通风板721的角度而变化，空气即风前往的方向变化。
循环扇710的风扇轴714成为风扇711旋转时的旋转轴，通风板机构720的通风板轴724成为通风板721摆动时的摆动轴。如图8所示，循环扇710即空气循环单元700以如下状态配置于容纳室200的底部：风扇711的旋转轴和通风板721的摆动轴的轴向与左右方向即由衣架悬挂装置610悬挂的衣物的前后方向平行或大致平行。
如图8所示，在容纳室200的顶面于左右方向上的中央部且于衣架悬挂装置610的前方配置有摄像机270。摄像机270拍摄悬挂于衣架悬挂装置610的衣物。摄像机270具有能在衣架悬挂装置610的所有钩部611都挂有衣物时拍摄所有这些衣物的水平和垂直视场角。摄像机270相当于本发明的拍摄部和晃动检测部。
图9是表示衣物处理装置1的结构的框图。
衣物处理装置1除了上述的结构以外，还具备操作部801、控制部802以及湿度传感器803。
操作部801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，将与被用户操作的操作按钮对应的操作信号输出给控制部802。
湿度传感器803检测容纳室200内的湿度，将与检测到的湿度对应的湿度信号输出给控制部802。湿度传感器803相当于本发明的湿度检测部。
控制部802包括微型计算机、各种驱动电路等，控制第一供给单元300的臭氧发生器320、加热器330以及送风扇340；第二供给单元400的泵461和加热器472；保持单元600的摆动马达631；空气循环单元700的风扇马达713和通风板马达722等。
在本实施方式的衣物处理装置1中，能执行进行衣物的脱臭/除菌的脱臭/除菌运转、进行衣物的烘干的烘干运转以及展平衣物的褶皱的褶皱展平运转。
图10是表示衣物处理装置1的运转控制的流程图。
当进行了运转开始的操作时，控制部802判定选择了脱臭/除菌运转、烘干运转以及褶皱展平运转中的哪个运转(S1)。
在选择了脱臭/除菌运转的情况下(S1：脱臭/除菌)，开始脱臭/除菌运转，控制部802执行脱臭/除菌过程(S2)。在脱臭/除菌过程中，控制部802使第一供给单元300中的送风扇340和臭氧发生器320工作。
如图5的实线箭头所示，通过送风扇340的工作，机外的空气从进气口101被摄入进气管道350，被送入第一供给管道310内。
如图2所示，在第一供给管道310内流动的空气通过臭氧发生器320，此时，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排出到容纳室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，剩下的部分从罩240与容纳室200的底面之间排出。这样，含有臭氧的空气通过罩240被扩散而前往上方的衣物，广泛地接触衣物。利用臭氧的脱臭/ 除菌作用，衣物被脱臭/除菌。
因进行衣物的脱臭/除菌而降低了臭氧浓度的空气从设于容纳室200的上部的排出口202排出到排气管道250内，在排气管道250内流动而向机外排出。从排出口202排出的空气通过臭氧去除过滤器261。由此，空气中的臭氧被去除，降低到适当的臭氧浓度的空气被排出到机外。
而且，在脱臭/除菌过程中，控制部802驱动空气循环单元700中的风扇马达713使循环扇710工作，并且驱动通风板马达722使通风板721在上下方向上摆动。
如图7的(a)所示，容纳室200内的含有臭氧的空气从吸入口715被摄入外壳712内，以臭氧风的形式从排出口716吹出。吹出的臭氧风被通风板721转向后前往衣物。此时，由于臭氧风的转向角度因通风板721摆动而发生变化，因此臭氧风从各个方向接触衣物。由此，臭氧风与衣物的接触效率变好，衣物容易被脱臭/除菌。此外，衣物被来自各个方向的臭氧风推动，由此悬挂的衣物晃动。由此，能使臭氧触及腋下等在衣物静止的状态下不易触及的部分。此外，附着在衣物上的尘埃容易掉落。
而且，衣物以其前后方向与空气循环单元700的通风板721的摆动轴的轴向平行的方式悬挂于衣架悬挂装置610。因此，即使在如图7的(a)所示多个衣物容纳在容纳室200内的情况下，从循环扇710排出并被通风板721转向的臭氧风也容易通过衣物与衣物之间而来到至容纳室200的上部。由此，臭氧风容易无遗漏地吹到多个衣物，多个衣物被很好地脱臭/除菌。
当经过规定的脱臭/除菌时间时，控制部802使臭氧发生器320、送风扇340、循环扇710以及通风板721停止工作，结束脱臭/除菌过程。这样，脱臭/除菌运转结束。
接着，当控制部802在步骤S1中判定为选择了烘干运转时(S1：烘干)，开始烘干运转，执行烘干过程(S3)。在烘干过程中，控制部802使第一供给单元300中的送风扇340和加热器330工作。
如图5的实线箭头所示，通过送风扇340的工作，机外的空气从进气口101被摄入进气管道350，被送入第一供给管道310内。
如图2所示，在第一供给管道310内流动的空气被加热器330加热，成为适于烘干的温度(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排出到容纳室200内。排出的暖风与含有臭氧的空气同样通过罩240被扩散而前往上方的衣物，广泛地接触衣物。由此，衣物烘干。在容纳室200内从衣物中夺走了水分的空气通过排出口202、排气管道250排出到机外。
在烘干过程中，控制部802使空气循环单元700中的循环扇710工作，并且使通风板721在上下方向上摆动。
如图7的(a)所示，通过暖风的供给而变暖的容纳室200内的空气从吸入口715被摄入外壳712内，以暖风的形式从排出口716吹出。吹出的暖风被摆动的通风板721转向，由此从各个方向接触衣物。由此，暖风与衣物的接触效率变好，容易烘干衣物。此外，通过衣物被晃动，能使暖风触及在衣物静止的状态下衣物不易触及的部分，此外，附着在衣物的尘埃容易掉落。
而且，与脱臭/除菌运转的情况同样，即使在如图7的(a)所示多个衣物容纳在容纳室200内的情况下，从循环扇710排出并被通风板721转向的暖风也容易通过衣物与衣物之间而来到容纳室200的上部。由此，暖风容易无遗漏地吹到多个衣物，多个衣物容易烘干。
而且，在烘干过程中，通过控制部802执行后述的衣物晃动处理，衣架悬挂装置610摆动。由此，悬挂于衣架悬挂装置610的衣物在该衣物的前后方向上晃动，此时衣物通过作用于衣物的离心力被展平。由此，会抑制伴随烘干的进行而来的衣物的起皱。
当经过规定的烘干时间时，控制部802使加热器330、送风扇340、循环扇710以及通风板721停止工作，结束烘干过程。这样，烘干运转结束。
接着，当控制部802在步骤S1中判定为选择了褶皱展平运转时(S1：褶皱展平)，开始褶皱展平运转，执行准备过程(S4)。在准备过程中，控制部802使第二供给单元400中的蒸汽发生器470的加热器472在泵461停止的状态下工作。由此，蒸汽发生器470的主体部471的温度上升。
而且，在准备过程中，控制部802使空气循环单元700中的循环扇710工 作，并且使通风板721在上下方向上摆动。如图7的(a)所示，容纳室200内的空气从吸入口715被摄入外壳712内，以风的形式从排出口716吹出。吹出的风因摆动的通风板721而转向，由此从各个方向与衣物接触，晃动衣物。由此，尘埃容易从衣物掉落。
当蒸汽发生器470的主体部471变成足够高温时，控制部802结束准备过程，执行蒸汽过程(S5)。在蒸汽过程中，控制部802在使加热器472继续工作的状态下使泵461工作。如图3所示，由蒸汽发生器470产生高温的蒸汽，放出到第二供给管道410内。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排出到容纳室200内。排出的蒸汽碰到罩240而向周围扩散，其中的一部分从多个排出孔244排出，剩下的部分从罩240与容纳室200的底面之间排出。这样，蒸汽通过罩240被扩散而前往上方的衣物，广泛地接触衣物。利用蒸汽所具有的水分和热量，衣物的褶皱被展平。
蒸汽在第二供给管道410内流动时，其中的一部分可能凝结而产生凝结水。凝结水向下方流动而蓄至贮水部413，从排出口414排出。排出的凝结水通过排水软管490回收到排水箱480中。这样，在本实施方式中，在第二供给管道410的导入口412的下方设有蓄留凝结水的贮水部413，因此会防止凝结水从导入口412流到蒸汽发生器470的内部。
而且，在蒸汽过程中，循环扇710和通风板721继续工作。衣物因从排出口716吹出并被通风板721转向的风而晃动。当衣物在悬挂状态下晃动时，衣物容易被施加离心力等力。由此，接触蒸汽的衣物的表面容易被展平，因此衣物的褶皱容易展平。此外，虽然衣物由于被蒸汽弄湿而不像准备过程中的干燥状态，但通过衣物被晃动，附着在衣物上的尘埃可能掉落。
而且，与脱臭/除菌运转的情况同样，即使在如图7的(a)所示多个衣物容纳在容纳室200内的情况下，从循环扇710排出并被通风板721转向的风也容易通过衣物与衣物之间而来到至容纳室200的上部。由此，风容易无遗漏地吹到多个衣物，多个衣物被很好地晃动，其褶皱容易展平。
当经过规定的蒸汽供给时间时，控制部802使加热器472和泵461停止，结束蒸汽过程。
接着，控制部802执行烘干过程(S6)。烘干过程中，与烘干运转中的烘干过程同样，送风扇340和加热器330工作，循环扇710和通风板721也继续工作。由此，被蒸汽弄湿的衣物被烘干。需要说明的是，褶皱展平运转中的烘干时间既可以被设为适合褶皱展平运转的时间，也可以被设为与烘干运转的烘干时间不同。
而且，在褶皱防止运转的烘干过程中，也通过控制部802来执行衣物晃动处理，衣架悬挂装置610摆动，悬挂于衣架悬挂装置610的衣物在该衣物的前后方向上晃动。由此，抑制了伴随烘干的进行而来的衣物起皱。
当烘干过程随着经过规定的烘干时间而结束时，控制部802执行换气过程(S7)。即，控制部802接着烘干过程使循环扇710和通风板721保持工作。容纳室200内的空气从吸入口715被摄入，从排出口716向容纳室200内吹出，由此机外的空气通过第一供给单元300的进气管道350和第一供给管道310从第一供给口210被摄入容纳室200内，容纳室200内的空气通过排出口202和排气管道250排出到机外。由此，容纳室200内被换气，即使容纳室200内的内壁等被蒸汽弄湿，也会被烘干。
当经过规定的换气时间时，控制部802使循环扇710和通风板721停止工作，结束换气过程。这样，褶皱展平运转结束。
图11是表示烘干过程时执行的衣物晃动处理的流程图。
参照图11，当开始烘干过程时，控制部802通过湿度传感器803来检测容纳室200内的湿度，判定检测湿度是否为规定的阈值以下(S101)。需要说明的是，从烘干过程开始经过一定程度的时间，容纳室200内的湿度因从衣物放出的水分而变得足够高之后，开始湿度的检测。
衣物在湿润的状态下因含有的水分而膨胀，因此展平而不易起皱。衣物随着被烘干水分变少而收缩，表面形成褶皱从而起皱。因此，如果能在衣物的含水量降低到要开始起皱的量的时间点展平衣物，就能有效地抑制衣物的起皱。衣物的含水量可以根据容纳室200内的湿度来推测，因此通过预先进行实验等求出与要开始起皱的含水量对应的容纳室200内的湿度，将该湿度设定为上述的阈值。
当检测湿度为阈值以下时(S101：是)，控制部802进行确定使衣架悬挂装置610摆动时的摆动频率的摆动频率确定处理(S102)。摆动频率确定处理的步骤如下。
控制部802使摆动马达631的转速阶段性地上升，例如逐次上升几十rpm，使衣架悬挂装置610的摆动频率阶段性地上升。在各阶段的摆动频率下，衣物以与摆动频率对应的方式在该衣物的前后方向上晃动。控制部802在各阶段的摆动频率下通过摄像机270以规定的采样频率拍摄悬挂于衣架悬挂装置610的衣物，解析拍摄到的各图像，由此检测衣物的晃动幅度(以下，称为晃动量)。例如，控制部802从拍摄到的图像中识别衣物，测定该衣物相对于铅垂方向向右侧或左侧倾斜的角度。然后，控制部802将根据各图像而测定到的倾斜角中最大的倾斜角检测为晃动量。需要说明的是，也可以将衣物向右侧晃动时的最大倾斜角和衣物向左侧晃动时的最大倾斜角相加后的角度作为晃动量。
控制部802将各阶段的摆动频率下的晃动量存储在其内部的存储器中。当摆动马达631的转速达到规定转速，检测到与该规定转速对应的摆动频率下的晃动量时，控制部802从检测到的所有晃动量中提取出最大晃动量，并将与该晃动量对应的摆动频率确定为此次衣架悬挂装置610的摆动频率。需要说明的是，控制部802也可以通过确定摆动马达631的转速来确定衣架悬挂装置610的摆动频率。即，确定摆动马达631的转速也是确定衣架悬挂装置610的摆动频率。
悬挂于衣架悬挂装置610的衣物根据形状、重量等该衣物的状态，容易晃动的摆动频率可能因共振而发生变化。确定出的摆动频率被认为是此时状态的衣物晃动最大的摆动频率。
需要说明的是，在衣架悬挂装置610上挂着多个衣物的情况下，控制部802在各阶段的摆动频率下检测各衣物的晃动量，将这些晃动量的平均值或者合计值作为该阶段的晃动量。
当通过摆动频率确定处理确定出了此次摆动频率时，控制部802使摆动马达631以与确定出的摆动频率对应的转速旋转，使衣架悬挂装置610以确定出的摆动频率摆动。由此，悬挂于衣架悬挂装置610的衣物在其前后方向上大幅晃动，衣物的表面被充分展平，不易在衣物上形成褶皱。
控制部802判定从衣架悬挂装置610开始以确定出的摆动频率摆动起是否经过规定时间。随着衣物烘干的进行，衣物的重量等发生变化，因此衣物容易晃动的摆动频率也可能变化。因此，在烘干结束之前，进行多次摆动频率确定处理，以能进行多次摆动频率的变更的方式设定规定时间的长度。
当经过规定时间时(S104：是)，控制部802再次进行摆动频率确定处理(S102)，使衣架悬挂装置610以确定出的摆动频率摆动(S103)。这样，直到烘干过程结束为止，每经过规定时间，衣架悬挂装置610的摆动频率就被变更为最佳的摆动频率。因此，即使衣物的状态随着烘干的进行而发生变化，衣物也会被持续充分晃动。
然后，当烘干过程结束时(S105：是)，控制部802使衣物晃动处理结束。
需要说明的是，烘干过程也可以基于由湿度传感器803检测到的容纳室200内的湿度来结束，而不是基于时间经过而结束。该情况下，可以不在每次经过规定时间时进行摆动频率确定处理，而在每次容纳室200内的湿度降低规定量时进行摆动频率确定处理。
＜实施方式的效果＞
以上，根据本实施方式，在利用来自第一供给单元300的暖风来烘干衣物的烘干过程中，利用摄像机270来检测悬挂于衣架悬挂装置610的衣物的晃动幅度，根据检测到的晃动幅度来确定衣架悬挂装置610摆动时的摆动频率。由此，无论重量、形状等状态如何，都能充分晃动衣物，可以期待充分抑制衣物的起皱。
此外，在烘干过程中，在由湿度传感器803检测到的湿度为阈值以下时，通过激振机构部630来开始衣架悬挂装置610的摆动，因此能在衣物的含水量降低到要开始起皱的量的时间点开始晃动衣物而使衣物展平。由此，能避免激振机构部630在不易得到褶皱展平效果的期间工作，因此能抑制电力的浪费等。
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，除上述以外，本发明的实施方式也可以进行各种变更。
例如，在上述实施方式中，在烘干过程中，当由湿度传感器803检测到的湿度为阈值以下时，通过激振机构部630来开始衣架悬挂装置610的摆动。然 而，也可以在从烘干过程的最初起或者从烘干过程开始起经过规定的待机时间后，开始衣架悬挂装置610的摆动。
此外，在上述实施方式中，为了检测衣物的晃动幅度而使用了摄像机270。然而，也可以使用其他检测部，例如加速度传感器。在使用加速度传感器的情况下，可以采用如下结构：在衣架悬挂装置610的钩部611固定有可晃动的衣架，在该衣架配置有加速度传感器。
而且，衣架悬挂装置610的结构不限于上述实施方式的结构，只要能以悬挂状态保持衣物，就可以是任何结构。
而且，激振机构部630的结构不限于上述实施方式的结构，只要能使衣架悬挂装置610在水平方向上摆动，就可以是任何结构。
而且，在上述实施方式中，在衣物晃动处理中，当控制部802在S104中判定为经过了规定时间时，立即返回到S102的处理来进行摆动确定处理。然而，也可以是，控制部802在经过规定时间时，通过摄像机270来拍摄悬挂于衣架悬挂装置610的衣物，检测衣物的晃动幅度，对该晃动幅度与在此次的摆动频率确定处理中检测到的确定的摆动频率下的衣物的晃动幅度进行比较，在晃动幅度未降低规定量时不转移到摆动频率确定处理。
而且，在上述实施方式中，以悬挂的衣物的前后方向为容纳室200的左右方向的方向，在容纳室200内配置有衣架悬挂装置610。然而，也可以以悬挂的衣物的前后方向为容纳室200的前后方向的方向，在容纳室200内配置衣架悬挂装置610。
而且，在上述实施方式中，衣物处理装置1进行脱臭/除菌运转。然而，衣物处理装置1也可以不进行脱臭/除菌运转，可以不在第一供给单元300配置臭氧发生器320。
而且，在上述实施方式中，在容纳室200内配置有空气循环单元700。然而，衣物处理装置1也可以采用在容纳室200内不配置空气循环单元700的结构。
另外，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进行各种变更。
