Washing and drying machine

Abstract

The invention provides a washing and drying machine, which uses an air supply device to circulate the air in the bucket through a circulating air supply path with a dehumidification device and a heating device to perform a drying process. There is an atomizing unit on the way of the circulating air supply path. The unit has: a liquid storage container, which stores the liquid as a source of mist; an ultrasonic vibrator, which applies ultrasonic vibration to the liquid stored in the liquid storage container; a liquid injection device, which injects liquid into the liquid storage container; On the side wall of the container, in order to keep the liquid in the liquid storage container constant, the liquid injected into the liquid storage container by the liquid injection device overflows into the bucket through the circulating air supply path; the atomization unit activates the ultrasonic vibrator to generate mist, through The circulating air supply path directs the mist into the rotating drum, and at start-up, the overflow from the open dike keeps the water in the liquid storage container at a constant level.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a washing and drying machine having a mist unit for supplying mist to laundry such as dried clothes to reduce wrinkles on the clothes and the like. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in the drying process, a rotary drum into which laundry such as clothes is placed is rotated at high speed. In this drying step, the laundry is dried while sticking to the inner wall of the rotary drum, etc., and therefore, wrinkles cannot be avoided on the dried laundry or the like. When the clothes after such a drying process are hung on a hanger or the like for drying, labor and time for stretching out wrinkles are required, and further labor and time for ironing thereafter are required to be increased. [0003] Therefore, such a washing and drying machine has recently been developed: it has an atomizing unit that generates mist composed of fine liquid droplets, and introduces the mist into a rotating drum with clothes etc. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the mist sprayed from the spray port 47b is mainly composed of coarse liquid droplets, and its suspending property is poor.

Therefore, in this washing and drying machine 40, the mist cannot be sufficiently filled in every corner of the inner tub 43, and the entire clothes cannot be moistened.

As a result, there is a problem that wrinkles cannot be effectively reduced throughout the entire garment after drying.

Therefore, in the clothes dryer 50, most of the mist generated from the electrolytic mist generator 56 disappears on the way and cannot reach the clothes in the drying chamber 51. Therefore, there is a problem that the clothes cannot be moistened and wrinkles cannot be reduced.

In addition, since the hot air is supplied into the conduit chamber 58 having a large water content (humidity) due to the formation of water droplets in this way, the hot air with a large water content is also introduced into the drying chamber 51, and even if some deodorizing effect can be expected, Does not dry clothes adequately
