That is, the air blown from the blower fan 242 of the drying unit 240 is heated by the downstream heating section 241 and then supplied to the drum 11 . The air supplied to the drum 11 heats the wet laundry accommodated in the drum 11 to dehydrate it, and then passes through the outer peripheral holes of the drum 11 and flows out into the space between the drum 11 and the outer tub 10. , the duct portion 221 (see FIGS. 16 and 17) connecting the drying unit 240 and the outer tub 10 .
- the drying unit 240 supplies hot dry air to the wet laundry in the drum 11 to accelerate the drying of the laundry.
- the washing/drying machine 100 is activated when the user first presses the power button of the operation unit on the door 2 . Then, the user pulls the door opening handle 2a, opens the door 2, puts the clothes in the drum 11, and after the user closes the door 2, operates the switch of the operation unit to operate the washing process. is started.
- the water supply valve 231 is opened, and water supplied from the water supply hose connection port 207 is supplied to the outer tub 10 together with the detergent through the water supply hose and the detergent storage portion 232a.
- the larger the laundry capacity calculated based on the number of revolutions of the motor 13 and the current value the larger the amount of water supplied in the washing process.
- the drum 11 is washed for a predetermined period of time by repeating normal rotation, stop, reverse rotation, and stop. At this time, the clothes are lifted up by the baffle 14 and dropped repeatedly, thereby enhancing the cleaning power of the clothes.
- the drum 11 is first rotated at a low rotational speed at which the clothes do not stick. At the low speed of rotation, the clothes soaked with water in the washing process are lifted by the baffle 14 when the drum 11 rotates, and are spread over the inner peripheral surface of the drum 11 when the clothes drop. When the clothes begin to spread, the number of revolutions of the drum 11 is gradually increased, and the clothes are attached to the drum 11 by centrifugal force. When the clothes stick to the drum 11, the rotation speed of the drum 11 is increased to reach the target rotation speed while passing through the resonance section of the outer tub 10 where the vibration of the outer tub 10 increases, thereby removing the water contained in the clothing. is centrifuged.
- the water supply valve 231 is opened to supply water supplied from the water supply hose connection port 7 to the outer tub 10 through the finishing agent storage portion 232b. Also, as in the washing process, the larger the calculated clothes volume, the larger the amount of water supply.
- the heating unit 241 and the blower fan 242 are operated while the drum 11 is repeatedly rotated forward, stopped, reversed, and stopped. Blow warm air. Inside the drum 11, warm air is applied to the clothes lifted by the rotation of the drum 11 to evaporate moisture contained in the clothes. After the drying process is operated for a predetermined time, the heating unit 241, the blower fan 242, and the motor 13 are stopped, and the drying process ends.
- the washing/drying machine 100 of this embodiment includes a drying unit 240 in a duct portion 221 connecting the drying unit 240 and the outer tub 10.
- a thermistor 223 for detecting the temperature of the cooling water flowing through the duct portion 221 is installed in the duct portion 221 where the filter 222 is installed.
- FIG. 15 is a view of the outer tub 10 and the drum 11 taken out from FIG. 14,
- FIG. 16 is a front view of the outer tub 10 and the duct portion 221
- FIG. 17 is a sectional view along line AA of FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view of the lower portion of the duct portion 221
- FIG. 19 is an enlarged view of the B portion of FIG.
- the washing/drying machine 100 of this embodiment is provided with the filter 222 for collecting the lint flowing toward the drying unit 240 in the duct portion 221 connecting the drying unit 240 and the outer tub 10.
- a thermistor 223 for detecting the temperature of cooling water flowing through the duct portion 221 is installed in the duct portion 221 .
- the duct portion 221 forms a first cooling water passage 221b through which cooling water flows meanderingly (cooling water flows meanderingly from above the duct portion 221 downward).
- the meandering ribs 221a are arranged in a plurality of stages from the side (upper side) where the cooling water flows into the duct portion 221 so as to form the first cooling water passages 221b between the meandering ribs 221a.
- the guide ribs 221c are arranged in a plurality of stages below the last stage of the meandering ribs 221a so as to form second cooling water passages 221d between the cooling water guide ribs 221c.
- meandering rib 221a is composed of a plurality of plate-like members 221a1 each inclined in one direction (from the bottom to the top or from the top to the bottom) in the axial direction of the outer tub 10 (FIGS. 18 and 19). ), and meandering ribs 221a in adjacent stages have different inclination directions.
- the cooling water guide rib 221c is composed of one plate-like member 221c1 with one step being inclined, and one plate-like member 221c1 having a different length is arranged between the cooling water guide ribs 221c.
- a plurality of stages of cooling water passages 221d are formed so as to be inclined in the same direction (from top to bottom in this embodiment). It is different from the inclination direction (from the bottom to the top) of the plate member 221a1 of the final stage.
- the thermistor 223 is installed near the lower portion of the cooling water guide rib 221c.
- a recessed portion 224 is provided at the boundary portion between the portions, and the cooling water (indicated by the arrow in FIG. 19) guided by the cooling water guide ribs 221c is configured to temporarily accumulate in the recessed portion 224 .
- the duct portion 221 is provided with the filter 222 for collecting the lint flowing toward the drying unit 240. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lint from accumulating on the drying unit 240. It is possible to generate the air volume necessary for the drying performance of the laundry.
- a thermistor 223 for detecting the water temperature of the cooling water flowing in the duct portion 221 is installed in the duct portion 221, and the cooling water flowing while meandering through the first cooling water passage 221b of the meandering rib 221a is detected by the second cooling water passage. Since the cooling water is guided to the thermistor 223 by the cooling water guide ribs 221c via the cooling water passage 221d, the temperature of the cooling water by the thermistor 223 can be reliably detected.
- a depression 224 is provided at the boundary between the thermistor 223 and the duct 221, and the cooling water guided by the cooling water guide ribs 221c is temporarily accumulated in the depression 224. Therefore, the cooling water is temporarily stored in the recess 224, so that the temperature detection time of the thermistor 223 can be obtained, and the temperature of the cooling water can be detected by the thermistor 223 more reliably.
- lint does not accumulate on the runner portion of the drying unit 240, and the amount of air required for the drying performance of the laundry can be produced. can be detected.
- the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and includes various modifications.
- the above embodiments have been described in detail for easy understanding of the present invention, and are not necessarily limited to those having all the described configurations.
- it is possible to replace a part of the configuration of one embodiment with the configuration of another embodiment and it is also possible to add the configuration of another embodiment to the configuration of one embodiment.
