[0007] Hereinafter, an integrated laundry device according to an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In this specification and the drawings, components having substantially the same functional configuration are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0008] Figures 1(a) and 1(b) show front views of an integrated laundry device according to an embodiment. The two integrated laundry devices 10 are identical, but their color designs are different. The integrated laundry unit 10 has a rectangular prism housing, for example, 800 mm wide x 1172 mm deep x 2200 mm high. A washer-dryer (hereinafter simply referred to as the washer-dryer) 20 is installed on the lower level, and a dryer 30 is installed above it. The drums of the washer-dryer 20 and the dryer 30 are of medium size, and their width and depth are the same, but the height of the washer-dryer 20 is greater than that of the dryer 30.

[0009] In the integrated laundry device 10 of Fig. 1(a), so that the user can easily identify that it is an integrated type of washing machine 20 and dryer 30, in the washing machine 20, the inner side of the door shell is colored with a first color (for example, blue which is an image of washing). Also, in the dryer 30, only the handle is colored with a second color (for example, red which is an image of drying, or silver, or orange).

[0010] In the integrated laundry device 10 of Fig. 1(b), so that the user can easily identify that it is an integrated type of washing machine 20 and dryer 30, in the washing machine 20, the entire door shell is colored with a first color (for example, blue which is an image of washing). Also, in the dryer 30, the entire door is colored with a second color (for example, red which is an image of drying, or silver, or orange). According to Fig. 1(a) or (b), the user can easily identify that it is an integrated type of washing-dryer laundry device.

[0011] Between the washing machine 20 and the dryer 3 on the front of the integrated laundry device 10 (the overlapping intermediate region), a touch display operation panel 40 (hereinafter simply referred to as the touch panel) shared by the washing machine 20 and the dryer 30 is provided. Also, on the right side of the touch panel 40, a coin payment insertion slot and a return lever shared by one are provided. Also, as an option, an insertion slot for inserting and inputting a single shared prepaid card may be provided. On the touch panel 40, the operation settings of the washing machine 20 and the dryer 30, the operating state, etc. are displayed.

[0012] Furthermore, on the left side of the touch panel 40, behind the decorative panel 45 that indicates the lower washing machine and the upper dryer, an integrated exhaust duct 100 (see Fig. 9) formed by integrating the exhaust ducts of the washing machine 20 and the dryer 30 is provided in the depth direction. Here, it is assumed that the coin payment insertion slot etc. are arranged on the right side of the touch panel 40 and the integrated exhaust duct 100 is arranged on the left side, but conversely, the coin payment insertion slot etc. may be arranged on the left side of the touch panel 40 and the integrated exhaust duct 100 may be arranged on the right side.

[0013] Thus, with the integrated laundry device 10 of this embodiment, the operation settings of the washer-dryer 20 and the dryer 30 can be set using a single shared touch panel 40, resulting in a lower-cost configuration. Furthermore, the coin payment slot, return lever, and prepaid card slot are all handled by a single unit, further contributing to a lower cost. In addition, the integrated exhaust duct 100 for the washer-dryer 20 and the dryer 30 is positioned in the gap between the washer-dryer 20 and the dryer 30, resulting in a compact shape with minimal wasted space.

[0014] Figure 2 shows the configuration of the control block of the integrated laundry device 10. As shown in Figure 2, the control device 50 that controls the integrated laundry machine 10 is composed of a microprocessor and incorporates a display control unit 55 that controls the touch panel 40 by a display control program. The control device 50 is connected to the coin payment processing device 60 and the prepaid card payment processing device 65 provided in the integrated laundry machine 10 and receives payment settlement information.

[0015] The control device 50 is also provided with an input / output interface 58, a communication control unit 59, and the like. The control device 50 controls various control components (e.g., drum rotation motor, drying heater device, water supply valve, discharge valve, detergent / fabric softener dispenser valve, etc.) that make up the washer / dryer 20 and dryer 30 via the input / output interface 58 in accordance with signals from various sensors (e.g., temperature sensor, water level sensor, vibration sensor, etc.) and monitors the operating status of the various control components.

[0016] The communication control unit 59 is connected to an external centralized payment machine 70. The centralized payment machine 70 can perform tasks such as selecting a course for the integrated laundry machine 10, settling payment for usage fees, and monitoring and controlling the selected washer / dryer 20 or dryer 30. The communication control unit 59 is also connected to a user's mobile device 74 (e.g., a smartphone) and a management server 76 via a network 72. Communication between the centralized payment machine 70 and the communication control unit 59 may also be performed via the network 72.

[0017] The portable device 74 is used in an environment where an application for operating the integrated laundry machine 10 is installed, allowing for tasks such as selecting a course and settling payment for the integrated laundry machine 10. The management server 76 is a device that manages the laundry equipment within the managed laundry store.

[0018] Figure 3 shows an example of a model selection displayed on a touch panel 40, which is controlled by the display control unit 55 of the control device 50. Figure 3(a) shows an example of the initial screen 400 displayed on the touch panel 40. Instead of the initial screen 400 in Figure 3(a), a screen saver may be displayed periodically to prevent deterioration of the touch panel 40. When a user enters a coin laundry store, they can start using the integrated laundry machine 10 by touching any location on this initial screen 400.

[0019] When any position on the initial screen 400 in Figure 3(a) is touched, the display control unit 55 displays an equipment selection screen 410 for selecting either the washer / dryer 20 or the dryer 30 to be used. Figure 3(b) shows an example of this equipment selection screen. When neither the washer-dryer 20 nor the dryer 30 of the laundry equipment is in use (first use), the display control unit 55 displays the equipment selection screen 410 shown in Figure 3(b). Specifically, the equipment selection screen 410 displays the first screen 412 and the second screen 414, which indicate that both the washer-dryer 20 and the dryer 30 are available for use, along with the message "Both upper and lower rows are available for use" on the first line.

[0020] The first screen 412 displays the English labeling "Wash / Dry" for the washer-dryer 20, with the word "Wash" displayed against a background of the first color (e.g., blue) representing washing, and the word "Dry" displayed against a background of the second color (e.g., orange) representing drying, with the Japanese text "Washer-dryer (lower row)" displayed below it. The second image 414 displays the English labeling "Dry Only" for the dryer 30 against a background of the second color (e.g., orange) representing drying, with the Japanese text "Dryer (upper row)" displayed below it.

[0021] Then, to select the lower washer-dryer 20 from the equipment selection screen 410 in Figure 3(b), touch the first screen 412 for the washer-dryer 20. On the other hand, to select the upper dryer 30, touch the second screen 414 for the dryer 30. If you prefer to see the screen in English, touching the "English" button 405 will switch the display control unit 55 to the English screen.

[0022] Figures 4 to 17 show specific configuration examples of the washer-dryer 20 and dryer 30 of the integrated laundry device 10. Figure 4 shows the overall configuration of the integrated laundry device 10. As shown in Figure 4, the washer-dryer 20, which handles the wash water and the laundry containing water, is heavy and is therefore placed on the lower level. Above the washer-dryer 20 is a dryer 30, which is lighter than the washer-dryer 20. Between the washer-dryer 20 and the dryer 30 are a touch panel 40 and an integrated exhaust duct 100, etc. Behind the washer-dryer 20 is a main components area 80 where the motor mechanism for rotating the drum, the exhaust duct and exhaust fan, the drying heater device, and the gas, water, and electrical piping / wiring are located. At the top of the main components area 80 is an exhaust port 90 for the integrated exhaust duct 100.

[0023] Figure 5 shows an assembled and unfolded view of the integrated laundry device 10. The integrated laundry device 10 is first assembled by integrally assembling the washer-dryer 20 and the main component placement section 80 on the base 5. Then, the dryer 30 is installed and fixed on top of the washer-dryer 20 to complete the assembly. In this way, the heavy washing and drying machine 20 and the main component placement section 80 are assembled as a single unit, and the lighter dryer 30 is installed and fixed on top of the washing and drying machine 20, making the assembly process easy.

[0024] Figure 6 shows an example of the configuration within the main component placement section 80, which is attached to the back of the washer / dryer 20. The internal configuration of the washer / dryer 20 remains unchanged, so its explanation is omitted. The rear of the washer-dryer 20 is equipped with a horizontally positioned washing tub 210 consisting of an outer casing and a rotating drum mounted inside the outer casing, a rotary drive motor 220, a pulley 230 connected to the rotation axis of the rotating drum inside the washing tub 210, a drive belt 240 that transmits the rotational force of the rotary drive motor 220 to the outer circumference of the pulley 230 to rotate the pulley 230, and a drain duct 250 connected to the bottom of the washing tub 210. The rotary drive motor 220 is mounted not directly below the rotation axis of the pulley 230, but diagonally to the lower left of the rotation axis. This allows for space to be secured for the drain duct 250 that drains the treated washing water from the bottom of the washing tub 210.

[0025] The washing tub 210 is supported by a support plate 270 provided along its lower longitudinal side. Furthermore, the support plate 270 is supported by four thick coil springs 280 provided on the front, back, left, and right sides. The left rear end of the support plate 270 is connected to the mounting shaft of the rotary drive motor 220 via a vibration-absorbing connecting member 290. The right rear end of the support plate 270 is also fixedly connected via a vibration-absorbing connecting member 290. These mechanisms allow the washing tub 210 to absorb vibrations from the rotating drum, which is rotated by the rotary drive motor 220, during the washing / drying operation of the washer-dryer 20.

[0026] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration within the main component placement section 80, which is attached to the back of the dryer 30. The back of the dryer 30 is fitted with a motor drive mechanism for rotating the dryer 30's rotating drum, exhaust ducts and exhaust fans for the washer / dryer 20 and the dryer, and drying heater devices (e.g., gas burner devices) for the washer / dryer 20 and the dryer 30, respectively.

[0027] As shown in Figure 7, a rotary drive motor 310, a pulley 320, and a drive belt 330 for rotating the rotating drum (not shown) of the dryer 30 are provided in the center of the rear of the dryer 30. On the right side of the rear of the dryer 30, the exhaust fan 340 of the dryer 30 and the exhaust fan 350 of the washer-dryer 20 are provided in a vertical row. On the left side of the rear of the dryer 30, the drying heater device 360 ​​of the washer-dryer 20 and the drying heater device 370 of the dryer 30 are provided in a vertical row. If the integrated exhaust duct 100 is installed on the front right side, the positions of the exhaust fans 340 and 350 and the drying heater devices 360 and 370 are swapped.

[0028] Since the dryer 30 is a device solely for drying, it does not require a vibration-absorbing mechanism like the washer-dryer 20. Therefore, the space behind the dryer 30 is effectively utilized to arrange the exhaust fans 340 and 350 of the washer-dryer 20 and the dryer 30 in a vertical line, and the drying heater devices 360 and 370 of the washer-dryer 20 and the dryer 30 in a vertical line as well. This makes it possible to make the main component arrangement section 80 shown in Figure 2 a compact shape.

[0029] Figure 8 shows the outer casing 380 located inside the dryer 30. The rotating drum located inside the outer casing 380 is not shown in the figure. As shown in Figure 8, the outer casing 380 of the dryer 30 is provided with a dryer exhaust port 390. The dryer exhaust port 390 is located diagonally to the lower left of the outer casing 380. Air from the dryer exhaust port 390 is then drawn out to the dryer's exhaust fan 340 through the opening 105 of the integrated exhaust duct 100 (see Figure 14). If the integrated exhaust duct 100 is located on the front right side, the dryer exhaust port 390 is also located diagonally to the lower right of the outer casing 380.

[0030] During the drying operation of dryer 3, the dryer's exhaust fan 340 operates to draw in air. The air heated by the drying heater device 370 (see Figure 17) is blown towards the items to be dried in the rotating drum by the suction of the exhaust fan 340. The air discharged from the washing tub 380 of dryer 3 is guided (drawn in) to the integrated exhaust duct 100.

[0031] Figure 9 shows the overall configuration of the integrated exhaust duct 100. The arrows in Figures 9 to 11 indicate the flow of air discharged during drying by the dryer 30. As shown in Figure 9, an opening 105 (see also Figure 14) is provided on the right shoulder of the integrated exhaust duct 100, and this opening 105 has the same shape as the arc of the cylindrical outer shell 380 and is joined to the outer shell 380.

[0032] A dryer exhaust filter 110 (first exhaust filter) is provided so as to face the dryer exhaust port 390 located in the outer casing 380 of the dryer 30. Therefore, the air discharged from inside the dryer 30 is drawn in through the dryer exhaust port 390 of the outer casing 380, passes through the dryer exhaust filter 110, and is drawn towards the dryer's exhaust fan 340.

[0033] Figures 10 and 11 show the airflow after passing through the dryer exhaust filter 110 in Figure 9. Due to the suction action of the dryer's exhaust fan 340, the air that has passed through the dryer's exhaust filter 110 shown in Figure 9 is drawn towards the dryer's exhaust fan 340 via the first horizontal duct 120 of the integrated exhaust duct 100. Furthermore, the air drawn in by the dryer's exhaust fan 340 is blown diagonally upward and discharged to the outside from the first exhaust port 90a via the first vertical duct 130 and check damper. As shown in Figure 11, the first vertical duct 130 is connected to the dryer's exhaust fan 340 and is positioned vertically to the right of the integrated exhaust duct 100.

[0034] Figures 12 to 14 show the airflow through the exhaust duct that exhausts air during the drying operation of the washer-dryer 20. The arrows in the figures indicate the flow of the exhausted air. During the drying operation of the washer-dryer 20, the items to be dried in the washing tub 210 are rotated and dried by air heated by the washer-dryer heater device 360 ​​(see Figure 16). As shown in Figure 12, an exhaust port 25 is installed at the rear upper part of the washer-dryer 20, and this exhaust port 25 is connected to an integrated exhaust duct 100.

[0035] During the drying operation of the washer-dryer 20, the washer-dryer's exhaust fan 350, located above the exhaust fan 340, operates to draw in air. As a result, the air inside the washer-dryer 20 is drawn from the exhaust port 25 into the integrated exhaust duct 100. Then, as shown in Figure 13, the air from the exhaust port 25 is directed by the inclined plate 140 towards the second horizontal duct 145.

[0036] As shown in Figure 14, a decorative panel 45 is provided in front of the integrated exhaust duct 100, so the air is directed upwards by this decorative panel 25. The air is then drawn into the washer-dryer's exhaust fan 350 via the washer-dryer's exhaust filter 150 (second exhaust filter) shown in Figure 13 and the second vertical duct 160 shown in Figure 16. The air that has passed through the washer-dryer's exhaust fan 350 is discharged to the outside from the uppermost second exhaust port 90b via a check damper.

[0037] In this way, since the exhaust duct 100, which integrates the exhaust duct of the washer-dryer 20 and the exhaust duct of the dryer 30, is installed in the empty space between the washer-dryer 20 and the dryer 30, it is possible to provide a compact, integrated laundry system that requires minimal empty space.

[0038] As detailed above, in the integrated laundry device of this embodiment, the integrated exhaust duct 100 for the washer-dryer 20 and the dryer 30 is located in the area between the washer-dryer 20 and the dryer 30, resulting in a compact shape with minimal wasted space. Furthermore, the heavy washer-dryer 20 and the main components area 80 are assembled as a single unit, and the dryer 30 is fixedly installed on top of the washer-dryer 20, making assembly work easy. In addition, the space behind the dryer 30 is effectively utilized, with the exhaust fans 340 and 350 of the washer-dryer 20 and dryer 30 respectively arranged vertically on one side, and the drying heater devices 360 and 370 of the washer-dryer 20 and dryer 30 respectively arranged vertically on the other side. This allows the main components area 80 to be made compact.

[0039] The integrated laundry device of this embodiment comprises a washer-dryer 20, a dryer 30 located above the washer-dryer 20, a touch panel 40 located between the washer-dryer 20 and the dryer 30 for setting the operation of the washer-dryer 20 and the dryer 30 and displaying their operating status, and an integrated exhaust duct 100 located to the left or right of the touch panel 40 in the depth direction, which integrates the exhaust duct of the washer-dryer 20 and the exhaust duct of the dryer. As a result, the integrated exhaust ducts for the washer-dryer and the dryer are located in the area between the washer-dryer and the dryer, resulting in a compact shape with minimal empty space.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the integrated laundry device is assembled by integrally assembling the washer-dryer 20 and the main components arrangement section 80 which houses the main components of the washer-dryer 20 and the dryer 30, and then installing the dryer 30 on top of the washer-dryer 20. As a result, the heavy washer-dryer and the main components arrangement section 80 are assembled integrally, and the lighter dryer is fixedly installed on top of the washer-dryer, making the assembly process easy.

[0041] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the integrated laundry device, the exhaust fan 350 of the washer-dryer 20 and the exhaust fan 340 of the dryer 30 are arranged vertically on one side of the main component placement area 80 located at the rear of the dryer 30, while the washer-dryer heater device 360 ​​of the washer-dryer 20 and the drying heater device 370 of the dryer 30 are arranged vertically on the other side. This makes effective use of the space at the rear of the dryer, allowing the main components to be compactly housed.

[0042] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the integrated laundry device, the outer casing 380 of the dryer 30 is provided with a dryer exhaust port 390, which is formed diagonally below the outer casing 380 and connected to the exhaust duct of the integrated exhaust duct 100. This makes it possible to provide an integrated exhaust duct with a compact shape.

[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the air inside the dryer of the integrated laundry device is drawn in by the dryer's exhaust fan 340 located in the main component placement section 80, and discharged through the dryer's exhaust port 390, the first exhaust filter 110, the first horizontal duct 120, and the first vertical duct 130, to the first exhaust port 90a located at the top of the integrated exhaust duct 100. This makes it possible to provide an integrated exhaust duct with a compact shape.

[0044] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the integrated laundry device, an exhaust port 25 is provided at the top of the outer casing 210 of the washing machine 20. Air inside the washing machine is drawn in by an exhaust fan 350 of the washing machine 30, which is located above the dryer 30, and discharged through the exhaust port 25 of the washing machine 20, a second horizontal duct, a second exhaust filter 150, and a second vertical duct 160, to a second exhaust port 90b located at the top of the integrated exhaust duct 100. This makes it possible to provide an integrated exhaust duct with a compact shape.

[0045] The embodiments of the present invention are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be carried out in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
