Description

  The present invention relates to a clothes dryer for drying clothes.

  A conventional clothes dryer is provided with a lint collecting device called a lint filter generated from clothes (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  In a conventional clothes dryer, a drying drum for storing clothes rotates with a rotating shaft provided horizontally. An inlet is provided on the front side, and the back side is configured as a bottomed cylinder having a bottom. On the front side of the drying drum, a door body that opens and closes the inlet is provided. The user can put the clothes in and out of the drying drum by opening and closing the door. A blower fan is provided on the back side of the drying drum. By the rotation of the blower fan, the drying air is blown from the back side to the front side of the drying drum. The drying air in the drying drum passes through the door body, passes through a circulation passage provided below the drying drum, and reaches the blower fan again. In this way, the drying air circulates.

  The circulating drying air contains lint generated from clothing, and the lint filter is provided on the door body in order to prevent the lint from reaching the blower fan and the heating unit and causing problems. When the user opens the door body and attaches / detaches the lint filter from the door body, foreign matters such as lint collected by the lint filter are discarded.

  The clothes dryer 100 includes a housing 110. The clothes dryer 100 has a drying function that circulates dry air in the housing 110 to dry clothes. The casing 110 includes a front wall 111, a rear wall 112 opposite to the front wall 111, a left wall 113 standing between the front wall 111 and the rear wall 112, and a side opposite to the left wall 113. Right wall 114. The housing 110 further includes a top wall 115 that closes a region surrounded by the upper edges of the front wall 111, the rear wall 112, the left wall 113, and the right wall 114.

  An input port 116 is formed in the front wall 111. The user can store clothes in the housing 110 through the insertion port 116.

  The clothes dryer 100 further includes a door 120 attached to the front wall 111. The door body 120 can be rotated between an open position and a closed position by the main body connecting hinge 125. The door 120 shown in FIG. 1 is in the closed position. The user can pull the opening / closing handle 123 provided on the door body 120 to move the door body 120 to the open position and open the insertion port 116. Thereafter, the user can store the clothing in the housing 110 through the insertion port 116. The user can move the door 120 to the closed position and close the insertion port 116. At this time, the door body 120 is closed and fixed at the closed position by the door lock lever 124. When the control unit 200 detects that the door lock lever 124 is closed on the main body side of the clothes dryer 100, the controller 200 sets the clothes to be ready for drying. Thereafter, the garment is dried in the rotating drum 320.

  The clothes dryer 100 further includes an operation panel 201. The operation panel 201 is used as a part of the front wall 111. The user can set various driving courses by operating the operation panel 201.

  The clothes dryer 100 performs drying according to the course information output from the operation panel 201. The user can move the door body 120 to the open position and put clothes on the rotary drum 320 through the insertion port 116.

  The rotating drum 320 as a drying chamber has a bottomed cylindrical shape, and is arranged so that the rotation axis of the rotating drum 320 is horizontal and the inlet 116 is on the front side.

  A double-axis drive motor 310 is provided on the bottom surface of the clothes dryer 100. A drum drive pulley 311 that rotationally drives the rotary drum 320 is provided on the front rotational drive shaft of the double shaft drive motor 310. A drum drive belt 312 that is installed on a drum drive pulley 311 is attached to the outer periphery of the rotary drum 320. A fan drive pulley 313 that rotationally drives the blower fan 331 is provided on the rear rotational drive shaft of the double shaft drive motor 310. The driving force of the both-axis drive motor 310 is transmitted to the blower fan 331 via the fan drive belt 314 installed on the fan drive pulley 313.

  The blower fan 331 is disposed downstream of the heat pump device 420. The blower 410 sucks the drying air in the upstream blowing path 480 and sends the drying air to the downstream blowing path 332 of the fan case 330. The clothes housed in the rotating drum 320 are lifted in the rotating direction by the rotation of the both-axis drive motor 310, and the stirring operation of dropping from the lifted appropriate height position is repeated. Further, drying air is sent from the circulation duct 430 into the rotating drum 320 by the rotation of the blower fan 331. As described above, the rotating drum 320 is stirring the clothes. Therefore, the drying air that has flowed into the rotary drum 320 efficiently collides with the clothes. As a result, the garment is properly dried.

  The circulation duct 430 that circulates the drying air includes a lint filter 500 that collects lint, a heat pump device 420, and a fan case 330 that stores a blower fan. The fan case 330 is connected to a back plate 117 provided between the rotary drum 320 and the rear wall 112. The lint filter 500 includes a first lint filter 510 provided on the door body 120 and a second lint filter 482 provided below the clothes dryer 100 and upstream of the heat pump device 420. Circulation duct 430 includes an upstream air flow path 480 located between first lint filter 510 and second lint filter 482.

  The clothes dryer 100 includes a heat pump device 420 that exchanges heat with the drying air that has passed through the rotary drum 320 in the circulation duct 430. The heat pump device 420 is disposed on the flow path of the drying air that flows from the rotary drum 320 to the blower fan 331. The heat pump device 420 exchanges heat with the air flowing toward the blower fan 331 to create high-temperature and dry air.

  The heat pump device 420 includes a dehumidifying unit 421 that dehumidifies air and a heating unit 422 that heats air. The drying air that has passed through the first lint filter 510 passes through the dehumidifying unit 421. As a result, the humidity of the air decreases. Thereafter, the drying air passes through the heating unit 422. As a result, the air is heated. Thus, the heat pump device 420 can exchange heat with the drying air that has passed through the rotary drum 320 to generate drying air for drying the clothes.

  Details of the heat pump device 420 will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

The heat pump device 420 includes a compressor 423 that compresses the working medium, an expansion valve 424 that decompresses the working medium, a first circulation tube 425 that guides the working medium flowing from the expansion valve 424 to the compressor 423, and an expansion valve 424 from the compressor 423. And a second circulation tube 426 for guiding the working medium flowing to the outside. The first circulation tube 425 and the second circulation tube 426 form a closed loop that passes through the compressor 423 and the expansion valve 424. The working medium flowing through the first circulation tube 425 becomes low temperature due to the decompression by the expansion valve 424. The working medium flowing through the second circulation tube 426 becomes high temperature due to compression by the compressor 423. The first circulation tube 425 and the second circulation tube 426 protrude into the circulation duct 430 that guides air sucked by the blower 410.

  The first circulation tube 425 defines a flow path that is folded back many times in the circulation duct 430. The heat pump device 420 includes a number of fins 427 attached to a first circulation tube 425 that is folded back inside the circulation duct 430. The first circulation tube 425 and the fins 427 in the circulation duct 430 are used as the dehumidifying part 421 described above.

  The second circulation tube 426 defines a flow path that is folded back many times in the circulation duct 430. The heat pump device 420 includes a number of fins 428 attached to a second circulation tube 426 that is folded back inside the circulation duct 430. The second circulation tube 426 and the fins 428 in the circulation duct 430 are used as the heating unit 422 described above.

  The drying air flowing in the circulation duct 430 is cooled by the first circulation tube 425 and the fins 427 that are cooled by the low-temperature working medium. As a result, moisture in the drying air is condensed on the first circulation tube 425 and the fins 427. Therefore, the drying air is dehumidified.

  Thereafter, the drying air is heated by the second circulation tube 426 and the fins 428 heated by the hot working medium. Therefore, the drying air becomes a high temperature and becomes dry air suitable for drying clothes. As described above, the dehumidifying unit 421 and the heating unit 422 exchange heat with the air flowing in the circulation duct 430 to produce drying air. Therefore, the dehumidification part 421 and the heating part 422 are illustrated as a heat exchanger.

  The blower fan 331 sucks the drying air created by the heat pump device 420, while sending the drying air to the downstream blowing path 332 of the fan case 330. As a result, the drying air flows into the space between the bottom surface of the rotating drum 320 and the back plate 117 through the opening 432 of the back plate 117.

  Thereafter, the drying air flows into the rotary drum 320 through a large number of air holes (not shown) formed in the bottom wall 321 of the rotary drum 320. While the drying air passes through the rotating drum 320, the clothes collide with the drying air and are dried. Therefore, the drying air discharged from the rotating drum 320 has a high humidity. Further, dust such as lint generated from the clothes and hair attached to the clothes will float in the drying air discharged from the rotating drum 320.

  Thereafter, the drying air is sent to the door body air hole 122 of the housing part 121 attached to the back surface side of the door body 120. The drying air sent to the door body ventilation hole 122 passes through the first lint filter 510. At this time, the first lint filter 510 collects and removes lint floating in the drying air.

The drying air that has passed through the first lint filter passes through the upstream blowing path 480 and passes through the second lint filter 482. The lint that has passed through the first lint filter 510 is collected by the second lint filter 482 and removed. Thereafter, the drying air flows into the heat pump device 420 and is dehumidified and heated. The drying air that has been dehumidified to a high temperature is sucked again by the blower fan 331 via the suction outlet 429 and sent out to the downstream blower path 332. In this way, the drying air circulates in the circulation duct 430 and the rotary drum 320.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the lint filter 500 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 8 is a side sectional view of the door of the clothes dryer according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9A is a side view showing a part of the door of the clothes dryer according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Cross-sectional view, FIG. 9 (b) is a side cross-sectional view showing a part of the door body of the clothes dryer in the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 (c) is clothes drying in the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B are perspective views showing the upper part of the door of the clothes dryer according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 8-8 in FIG.

  The lint filter 500 that collects dust includes a first lint filter 510 and a second lint filter 482. The first lint filter 510 is inserted from above the door body with the door body 120 opened, and is configured to be detachable.

  A second lint filter 482 is provided in the suction introduction port 481 connected to the heat pump device 420 on the downstream side of the upstream blowing path 480. The second lint filter 482 is composed of a sponge member. Both the first lint filter 510 and the second lint filter 482 can be maintained by taking out and removing the accumulated lint. The lint contained in the circulating drying air can be substantially removed by the first lint filter 510.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the first lint filter 510 includes a mesh filter 511 (filter unit) that collects and removes lint, and a frame unit 512 that fixes and holds the mesh filter 511. A seal packing 513 as a sealing portion is provided on the back side of the first lint filter 510. The seal packing 513 is in contact with the press-contact wall 126 of the housing part 121 and maintains airtightness. The sealing portion may be provided on the door body 120 side as long as it is configured so that the airtightness between the door body 120 and the first lint filter 510 is maintained.

  A lock portion 514 for fixing and locking the first lint filter 510 in the accommodating portion 121 is provided on the upper portion of the first lint filter 510. The lock unit 514 includes a locking mechanism 516 that locks the first lint filter 510 on the door body 120, and an operation unit 517 that moves the locking mechanism 516 left and right. In FIG. 7B, the first lint filter 510 is configured so that the state where the lock portion 514 is located at the center is closed, and the state where the lock portion 514 is slid right is opened. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the first lint filter 510 opens the lock portion 514 so that the locking mechanism 516 corresponds to the concave portion 129 positioned at the upper portion of the housing portion 121 and corresponds to the door body 120. It can be accommodated.

  A communication port 130 that communicates with the upstream air blowing path 480 is provided below the housing part 121. The drying air circulated by the blower fan 331 passes through the first lint filter 510 and then passes through the upstream blowing path 480 from the communication port 130.

  Since the 1st lint filter 510 which repeats attachment / detachment affects the maintenance effort, simplification and ease of attachment / detachment are desired. Furthermore, it is also desired to ensure sealing properties so that drying air and lint contained in the drying air do not leak from the circulation duct 430. If the sealing performance is not sufficient, the drying performance is lowered. Further, when lint leaks from the circulation duct 430, the outside of the clothes dryer 100 is soiled.

  Corresponding to these, the first lint filter 510 of the present embodiment is provided with a protruding portion 515. FIG. 9C is an enlarged view of part C in FIG. 9B. The first lint filter 510 is guided to an accurate position by moving the protruding portion 515 along the groove-shaped guide portion 127 disposed inside the door body 120. Thus, since the guide part 127 guides the protrusion part 515, the attachment of the 1st lint filter 510 can be made easy. In addition, since the first lint filter 510 can be correctly mounted, it is possible to prevent the air from leaking by being mounted at an incorrect position.

  Further, the guide portion 127 has a bent portion 128. The bent portion 128 is configured to have a predetermined angle between the upper portion and the lower portion of the guide portion 127. Thereby, the 1st lint filter 510 can be reliably accommodated in an accommodating part, and can be made difficult to remove. Further, the bent portion 128 is bent in the direction in which the seal packing 513 is pressed against the pressure contact wall 126. Adhesiveness in the seal packing 513 can be improved by bending the bent portion 128 toward the pressure contact wall 126 side. Therefore, it is possible to prevent air from leaking and improve the drying performance.

  Further, the press-contact wall 126 that contacts the seal packing 513 is configured to be inclined from the vertical direction. At this time, the first lint filter 510 is inclined so as to be on the pressure contact wall 126. More specifically, when the door body 120 is in the closed state, the upper portion of the pressure contact wall 126 protrudes toward the inlet 116 than the lower portion, and the lower portion of the pressure contact wall 126 is thicker in the cross-sectional direction than the upper portion. It is comprised so that it may become. Thus, since the inner surface of the accommodating part 121 has a substantially trapezoidal inclined surface when viewed from the cross-sectional direction, the weight of the first lint filter 510 works in the pressure contact direction. Therefore, air tight can be easily performed by the seal packing 513.

  Further, the mounting surface of the seal packing 513 disposed on the first lint filter 510 has a substantially trapezoidal shape in which a reverse gradient having the same shape as the housing portion 121 is disposed. More specifically, when the door body 120 is in the closed state, the upper surface of the attachment surface of the seal packing 513 protrudes closer to the insertion port 116 than the lower portion. Since it is configured in this way, the weight of the first lint filter 510 acts in a direction in which the first lint filter 510 is in close contact with the pressure contact wall 126, so that the seal structure can be ensured. In this way, with a simple seal structure, the lint is prevented from leaking out from the ventilation path between the door body ventilation hole 122 and the communication port 130, and functions of suction air circulation, dehumidification and heating are ensured. can do.

  In addition, the first lint filter 510 can be securely attached and fixed to the door body by the lock portion 514 disposed on the upper portion. At this time, in order to normally fix the first lint filter 510 to the housing part 121 at the lock part 514, the door body 120 cannot be closed unless the first lint filter 510 is normally housed in the housing part 121. Has been.

As shown in FIG. 9B, the door body 120 can be closed in a state where the upper end of the frame portion 512 and the upper end of the housing portion 121 substantially coincide with each other. When the upper end of the frame part 512 and the upper end of the accommodating part 121 are not substantially coincident with each other, the door body 120 cannot be normally closed by contacting the input port 116. In addition, as shown by an arrow A in FIG. 6, even if the first lint filter 510 is to be housed in the housing portion 121 in a state where the lock portion 514 is slid in the closed state, the locking mechanism 516 of the lock portion 514 is The first lint filter 510 is not normally accommodated because it interferes with the upper end of (Fig. 10 (a)). As shown by the arrow B, after the lock portion 514 is opened and inserted into the accommodating portion 121, the lock portion 514 can be closed (FIG. 10B). As a result, the first lint filter 510 performs a drying operation while maintaining a sealing property with the pressure-contact wall 126 of the housing portion 121, and prevents the air from leaking when the first lint filter 510 is mounted at an incorrect position. be able to. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lint from leaking out from the ventilation path between the door body air hole 122 and the communication port 130, and to ensure the functions of suction air circulation, dehumidification and heating.

  Furthermore, even if the user tries to close the door body 120 without locking the lock portion 514, the door body 120 may not be closed. For example, an elastic body such as a spring is provided below the lock portion 514. When the lock portion 514 is in the open state, the lock portion 514 is configured such that the upper end of the lock portion 514 interferes with the insertion port 116 by the force of pushing up the spring. When the lock part 514 is pushed down and slid so as to be in the closed state, the upper end of the lock part 514 is lowered to a height that does not interfere with the insertion port 116. With such a configuration, the first lint filter 510 can be reliably attached to the accommodating portion 121. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the first lint filter 510 from floating upward during operation and reducing the sealing performance. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent the lint from leaking out from the ventilation path between the door body air hole 122 and the communication port 130, and to ensure the functions of suction air circulation, dehumidification, and heating.

  Further, the first lint filter 510 may be configured such that the lock portion 514 can be locked in a state where the upper end of the frame portion 512 and the upper end of the accommodating portion 121 are substantially coincident with each other. For example, the lock portion 514 is provided with an elastic body such as the spring described above. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the first lint filter from floating upward during operation and reducing the sealing performance. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent the lint from leaking out from the ventilation path between the door body air hole 122 and the communication port 130, and to ensure the functions of suction air circulation, dehumidification, and heating.

  Further, even if the user tries to slide the lock portion 514 disposed on the upper part of the first lint filter 510 to the closed state, if the protrusion 515 does not completely reach the bent portion 128 of the guide portion 127, the lock portion 514 It may be configured such that it cannot be locked. For this reason, it is easy to check the misuse state, and the first lint filter 510 can be attached to the wrong position to prevent air from leaking out. For this reason, drying performance can be improved. In addition, since the guide portion is configured to bend at a predetermined angle between the upper portion and the lower portion, the first lint filter 510 can be reliably accommodated in the accommodating portion 121 and can be prevented from coming off. Further, the adhesion of the seal packing 513 can be enhanced. Therefore, it is possible to prevent air from leaking and improve the drying performance.

  As described above, the clothes dryer 100 includes the rotary drum 320 as a drying chamber for storing clothes, the input port 116 for putting clothes in and out of the rotary drum 320, and the door body 120 for closing the input port 116. Yes. On the back side of the door body 120, a first lint filter 510 that faces the input port 116 and is detachable from the upper part of the door body 120, and a housing portion 121 that houses the first lint filter 510 are provided. The first lint filter 510 and the accommodating part 121 are connected via a seal packing 513. The seal packing 513 as a sealing portion is configured to be inclined from the vertical direction.

  As a result, the flat surface having the gradient on the inner surface of the door body 120 and the first lint filter 510 are air-tightened by the seal packing 513 due to the weight of the door body 120, and the sealing structure can be ensured. Therefore, it is possible to prevent lint from leaking out of the air path through which the drying air circulates, thereby preventing a decrease in drying performance.

  Further, the first lint filter 510 has a mesh filter 511 as a filter part for collecting lint and a frame part 512 for holding the mesh filter 511, and the frame part 512 is thicker in the upper part than in the lower part. You may be comprised so that it may become.

  Thereby, while comprising the inclined seal packing 513, since the downward direction of the frame part 512 is a taper shape, the ease of attachment or detachment can be improved.

Furthermore, door 120 has a guide portion 127, the first lint filter 510 may have a protrusion 515 for fitting engagement with the guide portion 127.

  Thereby, since the guide part 127 guides the protrusion part 515, the attachment of the 1st lint filter 510 can be made easy. In addition, since the first lint filter 510 can be correctly mounted, it is possible to prevent the air from leaking by being mounted at an incorrect position.

  Furthermore, the guide part 127 may be configured to bend at a predetermined angle between the upper part and the lower part.
