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，能通过暖风来烘干该衣物或通过蒸汽来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，则烘干效率会变差，因此难以提高烘干性能。因此，为了提高烘干性能，可以寻求提高暖风与衣物的接触效率。
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的更大的力作用于衣物的话，就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
本发明的第一方案的衣物处理装置具备：收容室，配置于箱体内，收容衣 物；保持部，以使衣物呈悬挂于所述收容室内的状态的方式保持衣物；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将其向所述收容室内吹出。其中，所述空气循环部包括：循环风扇，将从吸气口吸入的空气从吐出口吹出；转向构件，与从所述吐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。进而，所述保持部将多件衣物以衣物的前后方向与所述转向构件的摆动轴的轴向平行的方式并排保持。
例如，循环风扇可以是横流风扇，该横流风扇包括具有配置成圆筒状的叶轮且轴向的尺寸大于径向尺寸的风扇。此外，例如，保持部能采用如下结构：具有与转向构件的摆动轴的轴向平行地延伸的形状，将多件衣物并排保持在延伸方向上。
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，通过暖风的供给而变暖的收容室内的空气会从吸入口被摄入，以暖风的形式从吐出口吹出。吹出的暖风通过转向构件被转向后前往衣物。此时，通过转向构件摆动，暖风的转向角度发生变化，因此暖风会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，暖风吹拂衣物的方向会发生变化，因此悬挂的衣物会摇晃。由此，能使暖风触及衣物的腋下部分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，收容室内的空气从吸入口被摄入，以风的形式从吐出口吹出。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，离心力等力容易施加于衣物。由此，容易抚平蒸汽碰到的衣物的表面，因此衣物的褶皱容易展平。此外，通过衣物摇晃，能使附着在衣物上的灰尘掉落。
进而，由于保持部将多件衣物以衣物的前后方向与转向构件的摆动轴的轴向平行的方式并排保持，因此，即使在收容室中收容有多件衣物的情况下，从循环风扇吐出并被转向构件转向的风也容易穿过衣物与衣物之间而触及收容室 的上部。由此，风容易全方位地与多件衣物接触，因此，多件衣物变得容易烘干，而且，多件衣物的褶皱变得容易抚平。
本方案的衣物处理装置中，可以采用如下结构：所述空气循环部配置于所述收容室的比所述保持部靠下方处。这种情况下，还可以具备罩部，所述罩部具有供被所述转向构件被转向的空气通过的多个开口部，并覆盖所述转向构件。
根据上述结构，即使悬挂的衣物掉落，也能防止衣物压在转向构件上使得转向构件停止。
在采用了上述结构的情况下，进一步地，所述转向构件能以其顶端画画圆弧的方式摆动。这种情况下，所述罩部的从所述圆弧的径向覆盖所述转向构件的部分具有所述多个开口部且能形成为圆弧形状。
如果采用这样的结构，在转向构件摆动时，转向构件的顶端与各个开口部的距离近乎均等，所以能从各个开口部以近乎均等的势头吹出风。而且，在衣物落到罩部上时，衣物容易从圆弧形状的部分滑落，各个开口部不容易被衣物堵塞。
本方案的衣物处理装置中，可以采用如下结构：还具备载置架，所述载置架配置于所述收容室，供载置处理对象物载置。
根据上述结构，能将不容易用保持部悬挂的处理对象物载置于载置架进行烘干。
在采用了上述结构的情况下，进一步地，所述载置架可以采用可折叠的结构。这种情况下，能在所述收容室的后表面、右侧面或者左侧面中的任一个壁面设置供所述载置架以能变形为非设置状态和设置状态的方式固定的固定部，所述非设置状态下，所述载置架被折叠而沿所述壁面立起，所述设置状态下，所述载置架被展开而向所述壁面的前方横倒。
如果采用这样的结构，在不使用载置架时，通过将载置架设为非设置状态，不容易妨碍悬挂的衣物。此外，在使用载置架时只需抓住折叠着的载置架的顶端侧将载置架一边放倒一边展开，就能将载置架容易地变形为设置状态。
本发明的第二方案的衣物处理装置具备：收容室，配置于箱体内，收容衣物；保持部，以使衣物呈悬挂于所述收容室内的状态的方式保持衣物；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将其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，将从吸气口吸入的空气从吐出口吹出；转向构件，与从所述吐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，所述衣物处理装置还具备：排出口，用于排出所述收容室内的空气；排气管道，将从所述排出口排出的空气导向所述箱体的外部；以及开闭部，将所述排气管道开闭。
根据上述结构，与上述第一方案同样使衣物变得容易烘干的同时使衣物的褶皱变得容易抚平。而且，附着在衣物上的灰尘变得容易掉落。
进而，能根据需要通过开闭部来关闭或打开排气管道。特别是，在向收容室内供给蒸汽来抚平衣物的褶皱时，能关闭排气管道，能抑制蒸汽向衣物处理装置的外部泄漏。由此，收容室内容易充满蒸汽，衣物的褶皱抚平效果提高，并且能抑制衣物处理装置的周边的湿度上升。
需要说明的是，技术方案中，“平行”这一用语不仅包含平行的状态，还包含大致平行的状态。

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。

需要说明的是，图2中省略了第二供给单元400的图示。此外，图2、图3、图4的(a)和(b)中省略了载置架290和空气循环单元700的图示。进而，图2中，含有臭氧的空气和暖风的流动用实线箭头示出。进而，图3中，蒸汽的流动用实线箭头示出，结露水的流动用虚线箭头示出。进而，图5中，来自衣物处理装置1的外部的空气的流动用实线箭头示出。进而，图3中，为了便于说明，位于比剖面靠前方处的衣架台260由单点划线画出。
衣物处理装置1具备箱体100，该箱体100具有纵向长的长方体形状。在箱体100的外底面于四个角部设置有腿110。在箱体100的内部配置有以悬挂的状态收容西装、大衣等各种衣物的收容室200。收容室200具有纵向长的长方体形状。此外，在箱体100的内部于收容室200的下方配置有能向收容室200供给暖风和臭氧的第一供给单元300和能向收容室200供给蒸汽的第二供给单元400。第一供给单元300相当于本发明的暖风供给部和臭氧供给部，第二供给单元400相当于本发明的蒸汽供给部。
收容室200的前表面作为衣物的投入口201开口。箱体100的前表面的与投入口201对应的部分开口。在箱体100的前表面设置有门500。门500具有与箱体100的前表面大致相同的尺寸。投入口201被门500覆盖。门500的右端部通过未图示的铰链部与箱体100连结，能以铰链部为支点向前方打开门500。
在收容室200于底面的中央部以相互邻接的方式设置有第一供给口210和第二供给口220。第一供给口210和第二供给口220具有两侧带有直线部分的大致半圆形的筒状。第一供给口210的圆弧状部211和第二供给口220的圆弧状部221从上方观察时彼此向相反的方向弯曲。由此，第一供给口210和第二供给口220合起来的形状成为近似图4的(a)的单点划线那样的圆形的形状。在 第一供给口210与第二供给口220之间设置有细小的间隙，在该间隙设置有具有装配孔231的装配凸台230。
在第一供给口210和第二供给口220的上方以覆盖它们的方式配置有罩240。罩240包括圆盘状的顶面部241和从顶面部241的周缘向斜下方向延伸的周面部242。顶面部241的尺寸比第一供给口210和第二供给口220合起来的尺寸大。在顶面部241的背面中央形成有向下方突出的轴243。轴243以能在罩240的顶面部241与第一供给口210和第二供给口220之间形成规定的间隙的方式装配于装配凸台230的装配孔231。在罩240的周面部242遍及整周地形成有多个排出孔244。排出孔244具有在罩240的径向上长的方形形状，位于第一供给口210和第二供给口220的周围即罩240中的比第一供给口210和第二供给口220的投影区域靠外侧。由此，从衣物上落下的灰尘、异物不容易通过排出孔244进入第一供给口210、第二供给口220。在罩240的外周缘与收容室200的底面之间设置有规定的间隙。
在收容室200的顶面于前后方向上的中央部设置有衣架台260。衣架台260包括沿左右方向延伸的圆棒状的杆261和从收容室200的顶面对杆261的左右端部进行支承的支承板262。挂有衣物的衣架挂在衣架台260的杆261上。这样，衣物被衣架台260的杆261保持在从收容室200的顶面悬挂下来的状态。如图2和图3所示，能以衣物的前后方向为杆261的延伸方向的方式在杆261上并排悬挂多件衣物。杆261相当于本发明的保持部。需要说明的是，可以在杆261的上侧沿周向设置供衣架嵌入的槽部来作为用于防止衣物向杆261的延伸方向移动的防止部。槽部的间隔设置为能在衣物与衣物之间形成间隙的间隔。如此一来，能防止出现邻接的衣物彼此接触的状态。
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、鼓风扇340、以及吸气管道350。

臭氧发生器320是放电式的臭氧发生器，在一对电极间产生电晕放电、无声放电等放电，由在一对电极间通过的空气生成臭氧。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，将在第一供给管道310内流动的空气加热。作为加热器330，例如能使用PTC加热器。
鼓风扇340为离心扇，侧面设置有吸入口341，周面设置有吐出口342。鼓风扇340从吸入口341摄入空气，将摄入的空气送向第一供给管道310内的臭氧发生器320。鼓风扇340也可以使用离心扇以外的风扇，例如轴流风扇。
在箱体100的前表面，在与鼓风扇340的吸入口341对置的位置形成有吸气口101。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。
吸气管道350的一端与吸气口101连接，另一端与吸入口341连接。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，衣物处理装置1的外部的空气通过摄入口502、通气孔501以及吸气口101摄入到吸气管道350内。后面，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于下部的右侧面设置有导入口412。进而，在第二供给管道410于导入口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。
蒸汽发生装置420包括：供水箱440、供水槽450、泵组件460以及蒸汽发生器470。供水箱440中蓄有要被供给至蒸汽发生器470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从上方与供水槽450的入口451连接。在供给口441设置有开闭阀442，当供给口441与入口451连接时，开闭阀442打开，从供水箱440向供水槽450供水，整个供水槽450内充满水。
泵组件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与供水槽450的出口452连接。在泵461的排出口连接有供水软管463。泵461通过连接软管462来吸入供水槽450内的水并将其通过供水软管463送向蒸汽发生器470。
蒸汽发生器470包括主体部471和加热器472，隔着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由铝压铸件等金属材料形成，内部具有蒸汽发生室473。此外，在主体部471于蒸汽发生室473的上方设置有连接有供水软管463的供水口474，在蒸汽发生室473的右方设置有与第二供给管道410内相连的放出口475。加热器472被嵌入主体部471。
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。所产生的蒸汽通过放出口475向第二供给管道410内放出。
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，用于使在除臭除菌运转时被供给至收容室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的前表面于设置于箱体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来使供水箱440和排水箱480出入于箱体100内。
参照图1，在收容室200的顶面于左侧并且于比中央稍微靠前侧的位置形成有排出口202。在排出口202可拆装地装接有排气罩270。在排气罩270设置有多个排气窗271。此外，在排气罩270的内部配置有去除空气中所含的线屑等的线屑过滤器272。
在收容室200的顶面与箱体100的顶面之间于排出口202的位置设置有用于将收容室200内的空气向机外排出的排气单元600。
图6的(a)是沿排气单元600的位置剖开的衣物处理装置1的右侧的俯视剖视图，图6的(b)是沿排气单元600的位置剖开的衣物处理装置1的上部的侧剖图。
排气单元600包括：排气管道610、排气闸板620以及臭氧去除过滤器630。排气管道610从排出口202向后方延伸。在箱体100的后表面形成有由多个孔构成的排气口104，排气管道610与该排气口104连接。收容室200顶面的左侧的部分延伸至箱体100的后表面，构成排气管道610的下表面。排气管道610将从排出口202排出的空气导向机外。
排气闸板620设置于排气管道610，对排气管道610进行开闭。排气闸板620包括开闭板621和使开闭板621转动的闸板马达622。在排气管道610的中途，通过使管道内的上下的宽度变窄，形成有连通前侧的管道和后侧的管道的连通口611。开闭板621在关闭连通口611的关闭位置与打开连通口611的打开位置之间切换。通过连通口611被开闭板621，排气管道610被关闭，通过连通口611被打开，排气管道610被打开。需要说明的是，排气闸板620相当于本发明的开闭部。
臭氧去除过滤器630在排气管道610内配置于比排气闸板620靠后方处即空气流动的下游处。臭氧去除过滤器630中可以使用吸附并分解臭氧的活性炭/催化剂过滤器。臭氧去除过滤器630将在排气管道610内流动的空气中所含的臭氧去除。臭氧去除过滤器630相当于本发明的臭氧去除部。
图7的(a)是沿空气循环单元700的前方位置剖开的衣物处理装置1的主要部分的主视剖视图，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的主要部分的侧剖图。需要说明的是，图7的(a)和图8中，从空气循环单元700吹出的空气的流动用实线箭头、虚线箭头示出。此外，图7的(a)中，为了便于说明，由单点划线画出位于比剖面靠前方处的衣架台260，并且省略了载置架290的图示。进而，图8中，为了便于说明，没有用剖面示出载置架290，并且图示出了右侧的固定部203。
在收容室200的内部于底部并且于收容室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吸入收容室200内的空气并将其向收容室200内吹出，使吹出的空气前往悬挂的衣物。
空气循环单元700具备循环风扇710和通风板(louver)机构720。空气循环单元700相当于本发明的空气循环部。
循环风扇710是横流风扇，包括风扇711、壳体712、以及风扇马达713。风扇711具有配置成圆筒状的叶轮711a，轴向尺寸比径向尺寸大很多。在风扇711于中心设置有风扇轴714。风扇轴714的两端部从风扇711的两端面突出。
风扇711收容在壳体712内，风扇轴714的两端部可旋转地支承于壳体712的两侧面。壳体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。在壳体712于风扇711的前侧即罩712b的前表面设置有向前方开口的吸入口715，于风扇711的后侧设置有向上方开口的吐出口716。吸入口715在沿着收容室200的底面的方向上开口，其下端比收容室200的底面稍高。在吸入口715设置有呈格子状延伸的多个格棂715a。吸入口715和吐出口716的轴向尺寸与风扇711的尺寸大致相同。即，吸入口715和吐出口716具有轴向上长的形状。
在壳体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吸入的灰尘。
风扇轴714的右侧的端部贯通壳体712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。贯通收容室200的右侧面的风扇轴714与风扇马达713的转子(未图示)连结。
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送走，从吐出口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相当于本发明的转向构件，通风板马达722相当于本发明的驱动部。
通风板721具有在循环风扇710的轴向上长的方形形状，具有比循环风扇710的吐出口716稍大的尺寸。在通风板721的左右两端部设置有檐部723，在 檐部723的下端部设置有通风板轴724。在循环风扇710于壳体712的两侧面的后上端部设置有支承部718。通风板721的两侧的通风板轴724可旋转地支承于壳体712的两侧的支承部718。由此，通风板721位于吐出口716的上方，能向上下方向摆动。
通风板轴724的右侧的端部贯通右侧的支承部718，进而贯通收容室200的右侧面。在收容室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。贯通收容室200的右侧面的通风板轴724与通风板马达722的转子(未图示)连结。
通风板马达722通过正转和反转规定的旋转角，从而经由通风板轴724使通风板721摆动。从循环风扇710的吐出口716向上方吹出的空气与通风板721接触而被转向。空气的转向角度随着摆动的通风板721的角度而变化，空气即风前往的方向发生变化。
循环风扇710的风扇轴714为风扇711旋转时的旋转轴，通风板机构720的通风板轴724为通风板721摆动时的摆动轴。如图8所示，循环风扇710即空气循环单元700以如下状态配置于收容室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台260的杆261悬挂的衣物的前后方向平行或大致平行。换句话说，衣架台260的杆261在收容室200的上部以如下状态保持衣物：悬挂在杆261上的衣物的前后方向与空气循环单元700的风扇711的旋转轴和通风板721的摆动轴的轴向平行或大致平行。这时，循环风扇710中，风扇711的旋转轴的轴向上的中心与杆261的中心大致一致。
收容室200内配置有覆盖通风板721的通风板罩280。通风板罩280装配于循环风扇710的壳体712的上表面和收容室200的后表面。通风板罩280相当于本发明的罩部。
通风板罩280由弯曲成圆弧形状的左右方向上长的板状的罩主体部281和设置于罩主体部281的左右的侧面部282构成。通风板马达722正反旋转时，通风板721以其顶端画圆弧的方式以摆动轴为中心摆动。罩主体部281从通风板721的顶端所画的圆弧的径向覆盖通风板721，左右的侧面部282从摆动轴的轴向覆盖通风板721。在罩主体部281以沿上下和左右方向排列的方式形成有具有左右细长形状的多个开口部283，以供被通风板721转向的风即空气通过。需 要说明的是，理想的是，罩主体部281的圆弧被设置为与通风板721的顶端所画的圆弧接近同心状。
在收容室200的顶面与箱体100的顶面之间，以与排气管道610邻接的方式设置有空气混合单元800。空气混合单元800吸入箱体100的外部即机外的空气并将其与排气管道610中流动的空气混合。
参照图6的(a)，空气混合单元800包括混合风扇810和导入管道820。混合风扇810为离心扇，在壳体811内具备风扇812和使风扇812旋转的马达813。壳体811中于侧面设置有吸入口814，于周面设置有排出口815。混合风扇810也可以使用离心扇以外的风扇，例如轴流风扇。
在排气管道610，于比臭氧去除过滤器630靠空气流动的下游的位置，形成有导入口612。导入管道820的一端与导入口612连接，另一端与混合风扇810的吐出口815连接。
在箱体100的后表面设置有由多个孔构成的吸气口105。混合风扇810的吸入口814与吸气口105连接。吸气口105可以与排气口104相距从排气口104排出的空气刚被排出就被吸入的距离。
图9是表示使用了载置架290的状态的衣物处理装置1的主要部分的侧剖图。需要说明的是，图9中，为了便于说明，没有用剖面示出载置架290，并且图示出了右侧的固定部203。
收容室200中设置有用于载置小物件的载置架290以便能收容难以用衣架台260悬挂的鞋、手套、玩偶等小物件。载置架290配置于比通风板罩280靠上方处。
图10的(a)至(d)是表示载置架290的结构的图。图10的(a)是载置架290的俯视图，图10的(b)是沿图10的(a)的A－A′线剖开的载置架290的剖视图。图10的(c)和(d)分别是展开状态和折叠状态的载置架290的侧视图。
载置架290具备前后排列的第一架291及第二架292和连结第一架291与第二架292的铰链部293。第一架291和第二架292是在大致方形的框291a、292a的内部设置有多个格子291b、292b的格子状的架。在第二架292于后端部 形成有向左右突出的两个支轴294。铰链部293包括设置于第一架291的后端部的圆棒状的轴295和设置于第二架292的前端部并供轴295穿过的圆筒状的凸台296。如图10的(d)所示，通过使第一架291相对于第二架292转动，能将载置架290对折。
如图8和图9所示，在收容室200的后表面设置有具有轴孔203a的左右两个固定部203。通过使第二架292的支轴294穿过固定部203的轴孔203a，载置架290可转动地固定于固定部203。此外，在收容室200于左右的侧面以沿着前后方向排列的方式设置有多个架支承部204。
在不使用载置架290时，如图8所示，载置架290设置为被折叠而沿收容室200的后表面立起的非设置状态。由此，载置架290不容易妨碍从衣架台260悬挂下来的衣物。另一方面，在使用载置架290时，如图9所示，载置架290设置为被展开向收容室200的后表面的前方水平横倒的设置状态。这时，载置架290的左右两侧被多个架支承部204支承而保持设置状态。
图11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901和控制部902。
操作部901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，将与用户所操作的操作按钮对应的操作信号输出给控制部902。
控制部902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、排气单元600的排气闸板620、空气循环单元700的风扇马达713和通风板马达722、空气混合单元800的混合风扇810等进行控制。
本实施方式的衣物处理装置1能执行对衣物进行除臭除菌的除臭除菌运转、对衣物进行烘干的烘干运转以及抚平衣物的褶皱的褶皱抚平运转。
图12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902判定除臭除菌运转、烘干运转以及褶皱抚平运转当中的某项运转已被选择(S1)。
在选择了除臭除菌运转的情况下(S1：除臭除菌)，开始除臭除菌运转， 控制部902执行除臭除菌过程(S2)。除臭除菌过程中，控制部902在第一供给单元300中使鼓风扇340和臭氧发生器320工作。在运转开始前即衣物处理装置1处于停止状态时，排气闸板620的开闭板621位于打开位置。控制部902不使排气闸板620工作，维持开闭板621位于打开位置的状态。
如图5的实线箭头所示，通过鼓风扇340的工作，机外的空气被从吸气口101摄入吸气管道350，送入第一供给管道310内。
如图2所示，在第一供给管道310内流动的空气经过臭氧发生器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，一部分空气从多个排出孔244排出，剩余部分的空气从罩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被扩散后前往上方的衣物，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。
如图6的(a)的单点划线箭头所示，因进行衣物的除臭除菌而降低了臭氧浓度的空气从设置于收容室200的顶面的排出口202排出到排气管道610内，在排气管道610内流动，从排气口104排出到机外。在排气管道610内流动的空气经过臭氧去除过滤器630。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。
进而，除臭除菌过程中，控制部902在空气循环单元700中驱动风扇马达713来使循环风扇710工作，并且驱动通风板马达722来使通风板721沿上下方向摆动。这时，通风板721既可以连续摆动，也可以每往返摆动一次或往返摆动多次就停止规定时间。
如图7的(a)所示，收容室200内的含有臭氧的空气从吸入口715被摄入到壳体712内，以臭氧风的形式从吐出口716吹出。吹出的臭氧风通过通风板721被转向后，经过通风板罩280的多个开口部283前往衣物。这时，通风板721摆动从而臭氧风的转向角度发生变化，因此臭氧风会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吹拂，从而悬挂的衣物会摇晃。由此，能使臭氧触及衣物的腋下部分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。
进而，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台260的杆261。因此，即使在如图7的(a)所示收容室200内收容有多件衣物的情况下，从循环风扇710吐出并被通风板721转向的臭氧风也容易穿过衣物与衣物之间而触及收容室200的上部。由此，臭氧风容易全方位地与多件衣物接触，很好地将多件衣物除臭除菌。
当经过规定的除臭除菌时间时，控制部902使臭氧发生器320、鼓风扇340、循环风扇710以及通风板721停止工作，结束除臭除菌过程。这样，除臭除菌运转结束。
接着，当控制部902判定在步骤S1中选择了烘干运转时(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902在第一供给单元300中使鼓风扇340和加热器330工作。
如图5的实线箭头所示，通过鼓风扇340的工作，机外的空气被从吸气口101摄入吸气管道350并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同样通过罩240被扩散后前往上方的衣物，大面积地与衣物接触。由此，衣物被烘干。
循环烘干过程中，控制部902在空气循环单元700中使循环风扇710工作，并且使通风板721向上下方向摆动。
如图7的(a)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715被摄入壳体712内，以暖风的形式从吐出口716吹出。吹出的暖风通过摆动的通风板721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，通过摇晃衣物，能使暖风触及在衣物静止状态下难以触及的衣物的部分，而且附着在衣物上的灰尘变得容易掉落。
进而，与除臭除菌运转的情况相同，即使在如图7的(a)所示多件衣物收容于收容室200内的情况下，从循环风扇710吐出并被通风板721转向的暖风也容易穿过衣物与衣物之间而触及收容室200的上部。由此，暖风容易全方位 地与多件衣物接触，多件衣物变得容易烘干。
如图6的(a)的实线箭头所示，在收容室200内从衣物中剥离了水分的空气被从排出口202排出。排出口202设置于收容室200的顶面，变热的空气容易排出。排出的空气流过排气管道610并从臭氧去除过滤器630中通过。这时，臭氧去除过滤器630成为阻力，空气的流速降低。
烘干过程中，控制部902使空气混合单元800即混合风扇810工作。如图6的(a)的虚线箭头所示，机外的空气被从吸气口105摄入，通过导入管道820被供给至排气管道610内的臭氧去除过滤器630的下游的位置。供给至排气管道610内的来自机外的空气与从臭氧去除过滤器630中通过的来自收容室200的空气混合。这时，由于来自收容室200的空气的流速变慢，因此，容易混合来自机外的空气。通过混合有来自机外的空气，来自收容室200的空气的相对湿度降低。如图6的(a)的空心箭头所示，相对湿度降低的空气从排气口104排出到机外。由此，不容易产生由于排出的空气使得位于衣物处理装置1的周围的房间的壁面上产生结露等因高湿的空气而产生的对衣物处理装置1的周边的影响。
当经过规定的烘干时间时，控制部902使加热器330、鼓风扇340、循环风扇710、通风板721以及混合风扇810停止工作，结束烘干过程。这样，烘干运转结束。
接着，当控制部902判定在步骤S1中选择了褶皱抚平运转时(S1：褶皱抚平)，开始褶皱抚平运转，执行准备过程(S4)。准备过程中，控制部902在第二供给单元400中于使泵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的温度逐渐上升。
进而，准备过程中，控制部902在空气循环单元700中使循环风扇710工作，并且使通风板721向上下方向摆动。如图7的(a)所示，收容室200内的空气从吸入口715被摄入壳体712内，以风的形式从吐出口716吹出。吹出的风通过摆动的通风板721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902结束准备过程， 执行蒸汽过程(S5)。蒸汽过程中，控制部902使排气闸板620工作，将开闭板621从打开位置切换至关闭位置。由此，排气管道610关闭。接着，控制部902在使加热器472继续工作的状态下使泵461工作。如图3所示，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的下方设置有蓄留结露水的贮水部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710和通风板721继续工作。通过从吐出口716吹出并被通风板721转向的风，衣物摇晃。当衣物在悬挂状态下摇晃时，离心力等力容易施加于衣物。由此，容易抚平蒸汽碰到的衣物的表面，因此，衣物的褶皱变得容易展平。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，但是通过摇晃衣物，能使附着在衣物上的灰尘掉落。
进而，与除臭除菌运转的情况相同，即使在如图7的(a)所示多件衣物收容于收容室200内的情况下，从循环风扇710吐出并被通风板721转向的风也容易穿过衣物与衣物之间而触及收容室200的上部。由此，风容易全方位地与多件衣物接触，多件衣物被很好地晃动，其褶皱变得容易展平。
蒸汽过程中，排气管道610处于关闭状态。因此，能防止收容室200内的蒸汽通过排气管道610排出到机外。此外，在排气管道610中，臭氧去除过滤器630设置于比排气闸板620靠下游处，因此，能防止蒸汽与臭氧去除过滤器630接触而严重弄湿臭氧去除过滤器630。
当经过规定的蒸汽供给时间时，控制部902使加热器472和泵461停止，结束蒸汽过程。
接着，控制部902执行烘干过程(S6)。烘干过程与烘干运转中的烘干过程相同，鼓风扇340和加热器330工作，循环风扇710和通风板721也继续工作。由此，烘干被蒸汽弄湿的衣物。需要说明的是，褶皱抚平运转中的烘干时间设定为适合褶皱抚平运转，可以设定为与烘干运转的烘干时间不同。
此外，烘干过程中，控制部902使排气闸板620工作而将开闭板621切换至打开位置。这时，控制部902以如下方式控制排气闸板620：开闭板621不会一口气移动到打开位置，而是随着时间的经过以例如每次30度等规定的角度分阶段打开。排气管道610的连通口611的开口量慢慢变大，因此湿度高的空气不会被一口气从收容室200内排出，而是一点一点排出。
由此，由于收容室200内的湿度不会急速降低，因此，即使在烘干过程中，衣物的褶皱抚平效果也能持续一段时间。而且，如果含有大量水分的空气一口气从收容室200排出，那么在这些空气经过臭氧去除过滤器630时，水分变得容易附着于臭氧去除过滤器630。因此，通过从收容室200慢慢排出含有大量水分的空气来抑制水分向臭氧去除过滤器630附着。
进而，与烘干运转相同，控制部902使混合风扇810工作。由此，来自机外的空气与来自收容室200的空气混合，该相对湿度降低的空气被从排气口104排出到机外。
当经过规定的烘干时间从而结束烘干过程时，控制部902执行换气过程(S7)。即，控制部902在烘干过程之后接着使循环风扇710和通风板721保持工作。收容室200内的空气从吸入口715被摄入，从吐出口716向收容室200内吹出，由此机外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被摄入收容室200内，收容室200内的空气通过排出口202和排气管道610被排出到机外。由此，收容室200内被换气，收容室200内的内壁等即使被蒸汽弄湿了也会变干。
需要说明的是，换气过程中，也可以使混合风扇810保持工作。如果这样的话，则与烘干过程相同，能使来自收容室200的空气在相对湿度降低后排出到机外。
当经过规定的换气时间时，控制部902使循环风扇710和通风板721停止 工作，结束换气过程。这样，褶皱抚平运转结束。
这样，褶皱抚平运转中，在蒸汽过程中，排气管道610被排气闸板620关闭，蒸汽无法从收容室200内排出到机外。由此，在褶皱抚平运转中，从衣物处理装置1排出至外部的湿气变少，因此，衣物处理装置1周边的湿度不容易变高。
此外，在衣架未牢固地挂在衣架台260上的情况下，当衣物碰到来自空气循环单元700的风而被摇晃时，衣物可能会掉落。本实施方式中，由于通风板721被通风板罩280覆盖，因此能防止掉落的衣压在通风板721之上使得通风板721停止。
本实施方式的衣物处理装置1中，能通过烘干运转、除臭除菌运转来进行鞋等小物件的烘干、除臭除菌。这种情况下，如图9所述，在收容室200内设置有载置架290，在载置架290上放置小物件。这时，由于载置架290固定于收容室200的后表面，因此，用户只需抓住折叠的载置架290的顶端侧将载置架290一边放倒一边展开，就能将载置架290容易地变形为设置状态。运转中，从循环风扇710吹出并被通风板721转向的暖风、臭氧风穿过载置架290的格子291b、292b之间与小物件接触。
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。
此外，也可以在收容室200内配置温度传感器、湿度传感器。这种情况下，也可以在烘干运转、褶皱抚平运转中根据收容室200内的温度、湿度来结束烘干过程。进一步地，也可以在褶皱抚平运转的烘干过程中根据收容室200内的温度、湿度的变化情况来慢慢地增大开闭板621的打开角度。
＜实施方式的效果＞
以上，根据本实施方式，通过在从第一供给单元300供给暖风来烘干衣物时，使空气循环单元700工作，能使暖风从各个方向与收容室200内的衣物接触。由此，暖风与衣物的接触效率变好，衣物变得容易烘干。而且，衣物被来自各个方向的暖风摇晃，因此，能使暖风触及在衣物的静止状态下难以触及的 衣物的部分，而且附着在衣物上的灰尘变得容易掉落。
此外，根据本实施方式，通过在从第二供给单元400供给蒸汽来对衣物施以蒸汽来抚平衣物的褶皱时使空气循环单元700工作，能摇晃收容室200的衣物。由此，衣物的褶皱变得容易展平，而且能使附着在衣物上的灰尘掉落。
进而，根据本实施方式，衣架台260的杆261将多件衣物以衣物的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并排保持。因此，即使在收容室200中收容有多件衣物的情况下，从循环风扇710吐出并被通风板721转向的风也容易穿过衣物与衣物之间而触及收容室200的上部。由此，风容易全方位地与多件衣物接触，因此，多件衣物变得容易烘干，而且，多件衣物的褶皱变得容易抚平。
进而，根据本实施方式，由于通风板721被通风板罩280覆盖，因此，即使悬挂的衣物掉落，也能防止衣物压在通风板721上使得通风板721停止。
进而，根据本实施方式，通风板罩280中，从通风板721的顶端所画的圆弧的径向覆盖通风板721的罩主体部281具有多个开口部283并且形成为圆弧形状。由此，在通风板721摆动时，通风板721的顶端与各个开口部283的距离近乎均等，因此能从各个开口部283以近乎均等的势头吹出风。而且，在衣物落到通风板罩280即罩主体部281上时，衣物容易从罩主体部281上滑落，各个开口部283不容易被衣物堵塞。进而，由于不容易在罩主体部281与通风板721之间产生无用的空间，因此，与之相应地，收容室200内衣物的收容空间不容易变小。
进而，根据本实施方式，由于能在设置于收容室200内的载置架290上载置难以用衣架台260悬挂的鞋等小物件，因此，能进行小物件的烘干、除臭除菌。
进而，根据本实施方式，载置架290由固定部203固定于收容室200的后表面并能变形为被折叠而沿后表面立起的非设置状态和被展开而向后表面的前方横倒的设置状态。由此，在不使用载置架290时，通过将载置架290设为非设置状态，从而不容易妨碍悬挂的衣物。此外，在使用载置架290时，只需抓住折叠的载置架290的顶端侧将载置架290一边放倒一边展开，就能将载置架 290容易地变形为设置状态。
进而，根据本实施方式，由于在排气管道610设置有排气闸板620，因此，能根据需要来关闭或打开排气管道610。特别是，在向收容室200内供给蒸汽来抚平衣物的褶皱时，能通过排气闸板620来关闭排气管道610，能抑制蒸汽向机外泄漏。由此，收容室200内容易充满蒸汽，衣物的褶皱抚平效果提高，并且能抑制衣物处理装置1周边的湿度上升。
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。
例如，上述实施方式中，从第一供给单元300向收容室200内供给臭氧和暖风双方。但是，也可以在衣物处理装置1中分别设置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，空气循环单元700以风扇711的旋转轴和通风板721的摆动轴的轴向为左右方向的方式配置在收容室200的底面且配置在后表面附近。但是，也可以是，空气循环单元700以风扇711的旋转轴和通风板721的摆动轴的轴向为前后方向的方式配置在收容室200的底面且配置在右侧面或左侧面附近。这种情况下，衣架台260以杆261的延伸方向为前后方向的方式配置于收容室200的顶面。
进而，上述实施方式中，空气循环单元700配置于收容室200的底部且配置于收容室200的内侧。但是，空气循环单元700也可以设置于收容室200的底部且设置于收容室200的外侧。这种情况下，在收容室200的壁面设置有向循环风扇710摄入空气的摄入口和向收容室200内吹出空气的吹出口。此外，空气循环单元700也可以配置于收容室200的底部之外的部分且配置于收容室200的内外侧中的任意一侧。
进而，上述实施方式中，在通风板罩280的罩主体部281形成有具有左右细长形状的多个开口部283。但是，开口部283的形状不局限于上述形状，例如，可以采用上下细长的形状。
进而，上述实施方式中，通风板罩280由具有圆弧形状的罩主体部281和左右的侧面部282构成。但是，只要通风板罩280是具有多个开口部283并覆 盖通风板721的结构，也可以采用上述结构之外的结构。
进而，上述实施方式中，载置架290由第一架291和第二架292两个架构成，可对折。但是，载置架290也可以由一个架构成而不折叠，还可以由三个以上的架构成并能折叠成三个以上。
进而，上述实施方式中，载置架290固定在设置于收容室200的后表面的固定部203。但是，载置架290也可以固定在设置于收容室200的右侧面或左侧面的固定部203。
进而，上述实施方式中，在褶皱抚平运转的烘干过程中，随着时间的经过，排气管道610通过排气闸板620被一点一点打开，但是也可以一口气打开。
进而，上述实施方式中，在收容室200的顶面设置有排出口202。但是，排出口202也可以设置在其他位置，例如设置于收容室200的后表面的上部。
进而，上述实施方式中，虽然臭氧去除过滤器630中使用了活性炭/催化剂过滤器，但是也可以使用活性炭过滤器等其他的具有臭氧去除性能的过滤器。
进而，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。这种情况下，从排气单元600中去掉臭氧去除过滤器630。
进而，上述实施方式中，第二供给单元400的蒸汽发生器470采用如下结构：通过使由泵461送来的水落到高温的蒸汽发生室473的底面使其蒸发来产生蒸汽。但是，蒸汽发生器470不局限于上述结构，也可以是例如通过加热蓄有水的水槽使水沸腾来产生蒸汽的结构。
进而，上述实施方式中，使用横流风扇来作为循环风扇710，但是也可以使用西洛克风扇(sirocco fan)等横流风扇之外的风扇。
进而，上述实施方式中，使用排气闸板620来作为用于开闭排气管道610的开闭部。但是，也可以采用其他结构的开闭部，例如由在排气管道610内上下移动的活动板(shutter)和驱动该活动板的驱动部构成的活动板机构。
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。
