Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a laundry system used, for example, in a coin laundry store where a plurality of laundry devices are installed.

Background Art

[0002] In a coin laundry store, a plurality of laundry devices are installed. The plurality of laundry devices include washing machines that only perform washing, washer-dryers that perform washing and drying, dryers that only perform drying, and the like. For example, in the case of washing machines, it is common for a coin laundry store to install a plurality of types of washing machines with different maximum capacities that can be accommodated. Further, even in one washing machine, usually, a plurality of operation courses with different operation times are set according to the capacity and type of laundry.

[0003] In such a coin laundry store, a user who wants to perform washing needs to select one of the plurality of types of washing machines and further select an operation course suitable for the laundry from among the plurality of operation courses in the selected washing machine. For this purpose, in coin laundry stores, as a guide for the weight of laundry, it is often displayed, for example, "Three blankets are XX kg." or "One futon is XX kg."

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] Hereinafter, the laundry system 100 which is an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of the laundry system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the laundry cart 30 in FIG. 1.

[0020] The laundry system 100 of the present embodiment is used, for example, in a coin laundry store. A plurality of laundry devices 1 are installed in the coin laundry store. The laundry device 1 of the present embodiment may be, for example, a drum washing machine, a drum washer-dryer, a drum dryer, a vertical washing machine, a vertical washer-dryer, a shoe washing machine, a shoe dryer, a futon dryer, etc., regardless of the type of equipment. In the following description, the case where the laundry device 1 is a "drum washing machine" will be described.

[0021] In the coin laundry store of the present embodiment, ten drum washing machines 1 including four large drum washing machines 1 (No. 1 to No. 4), three medium drum washing machines 1 (No. 5 to No. 7), and three small drum washing machines 1 (No. 8 to No. 10) are installed. The large, medium, and small drum washing machines 1 have different drum sizes for accommodating laundry, and the maximum capacity of the laundry that can be put into the drum is different, but other configurations are substantially the same. Since the configuration of the drum washing machine 1 is the same as that of a conventional drum washing machine, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0022] A DTC (store controller) 2 is installed in the coin laundry store, and the ten drum washing machines 1 and the DTC 2 are communicably connected by wire or wirelessly.

[0023] A laundry cart 30 is provided in the coin laundry store for transporting laundry. As shown in Figure 2, the laundry cart 30 has a roughly rectangular compartment 31 and two support legs 32 attached to the lower surface of the compartment 31. The compartment 31 is formed in the shape of a box with an open top. The two support legs 32 are positioned on one end and the other end of the compartment 31 in the longitudinal direction, respectively. The central part of the support legs 32 is fixed to the lower surface of the compartment 31, and both ends of the support legs 32 extend vertically, with wheels 33 attached to their lower ends.

[0024] A rectangular weighing device 35 is provided inside the storage compartment 31. The weighing device 35 is sheet-like and is positioned along almost the entire bottom surface of the storage compartment 31. Therefore, when laundry is placed inside the storage compartment 31, the weight of the laundry inside the storage compartment 31 can be measured by the weighing device 35.

[0025] Furthermore, a display panel 36 is provided at the upper end of the housing section 31 along its longitudinal direction. The display panel 36 has a display surface 36a on which characters and other information are displayed. The display surface 36a is a touch panel, and the user can operate it by touching the display surface 36a.

[0026] Figure 3 is a control block diagram of the laundry system 100. The control unit 20 of the DTC2 is composed of, for example, a microcomputer, and includes a CPU, a ROM that stores a program to control the operation of the DTC2, and a RAM that temporarily stores data used when executing the aforementioned program. The operation of the DTC2 is controlled by this control unit 20.

[0027] The control unit 20 of the DTC2 has an operating state memory unit 21. Since the control unit 20 is connected to each of the 10 drum-type washing machines 1 in a communicative manner, it can always detect the operating status of the 10 drum-type washing machines 1. Therefore, the operating state memory unit 21 stores the operating status of the 10 drum-type washing machines 1, and updates the current operating status whenever their operating status changes.

[0028] In a coin laundry store, the Laundry Cart 30 is configured to be portable, but the Laundry Cart 30 and DTC2 are connected to each other via wired or wireless communication.

[0029] The control unit 50 of the display panel 36 of the Laundry Cart 30 includes an available equipment detection unit 51, an optimal equipment determination unit 52, and an optimal course determination unit 53. The control unit 50 is connected to the weighing instrument 35 and the display unit 36a.

[0030] The available equipment detection unit 51 detects, from among the 10 drum-type washing machines 1, which are not currently in use but are ready to be used, based on the operating status of each drum-type washing machine 1 stored in the operating status memory unit 21 of the DTC2. For example, in the state shown in Figure 1, since machines No. 1, No. 3, No. 5, No. 8, and No. 9 are currently in use, the available equipment detection unit 51 detects that machines No. 2, No. 4, No. 6, No. 7, and No. 10 are ready to be used.

[0031] When the weight of the laundry is measured by the weighing device 35, the optimal equipment determination unit 52 determines the most suitable drum washing machine 1 from among the 10 drum washing machines 1 based on that weight. If the 10 drum washing machines 1 include a drum washing machine 1 that is "in use", the optimal equipment determination unit 52 determines the most suitable drum washing machine 1 from among the drum washing machines 1 that are currently available for use, as detected by the available equipment detection unit 51. For example, in the state shown in Figure 1, the optimal equipment determination unit 52 determines the most suitable drum washing machine 1 from among the five machines No. 2, No. 4, No. 6, No. 7, and No. 10.

[0032] When the optimal drum-type washing machine 1 is determined by the optimal equipment determination unit 52, the optimal course determination unit 53 determines the optimal operating course from among the multiple operating courses set for that drum-type washing machine 1.

[0033] In this way, once the optimal drum-type washing machine 1 and the optimal operating course are determined, the control unit 50 of the display panel 36 displays the weight of the laundry measured by the weighing device 35, and the optimal drum-type washing machine 1 and the optimal operating course corresponding to that weight on the display unit 36a.

[0034] Next, the operating procedure for the laundry system 100 will be explained based on Figure 4.

[0035] <Step S1> In step S1, the control unit 50 weighs the laundry.

[0036] <Step S2> In step S2, the control unit 50 checks for available drum-type washing machines 1 and detects an available drum-type washing machine 1.

[0037] <Step S3> In step S3, the control unit 50 determines the optimal drum-type washing machine 1 based on the weight of the laundry measured in step S1.

[0038] <Step S4> In step S4, the control unit 50 determines the optimal operating course for the drum-type washing machine 1 determined in step S3.

[0039] <Step S5> In step S5, the control unit 50 displays the optimal drum-type washing machine 1 determined in step S3 and the optimal operating course determined in step S4 on the display unit 36a.

[0040] Next, specific examples of how the optimal drum-type washing machine 1 is determined in the optimal equipment determination unit 52, and how the optimal operating course is determined in the optimal course determination unit 53, will be explained with reference to Figure 5.

[0041] As described above, the coin laundry store of this embodiment is equipped with three types of drum-type washing machines 1: large, medium, and small. As shown in Figure 5, the maximum capacities of the large drum-type washing machine 1, the medium drum-type washing machine 1, and the small drum-type washing machine 1 are 20 kg, 12 kg, and 6 kg, respectively.

[0042] Large drum-type washing machine 1 has two operating courses: a standard course (capacity 20kg) and a small course (capacity 16kg). Medium-sized drum-type washing machine 1 has two operating courses: a standard course (capacity 12kg) and a small course (capacity 8kg). Small drum-type washing machine 1 has two operating courses: a standard course (capacity 6kg) and a small course (capacity 4kg).

[0043] In each of the large drum-type washing machines (1), medium-sized drum-type washing machine (1), and small drum-type washing machine (1), the operating time differs between the standard course and the small load course.

[0044] First, we will explain how the optimal drum-type washing machine 1 is determined by the optimal equipment determination unit 52.

[0045] Since the maximum capacities of the large drum-type washing machine 1, the medium-sized drum-type washing machine 1, and the small drum-type washing machine 1 are 20kg, 12kg, and 6kg, respectively, the optimal equipment determination unit 52 determines the optimal drum-type washing machine 1 as follows.

[0046] (a) If the weight measured by the weighing device 35 is greater than 12 kg and 20 kg or less, the optimal equipment determination unit 52 determines the large drum-type washing machine 1 to be the optimal drum-type washing machine 1.

[0047] (b) If the weight measured by the weighing device 35 is greater than 6 kg and 12 kg or less, the optimal equipment determination unit 52 determines the medium-sized drum-type washing machine 1 to be the optimal drum-type washing machine 1.

[0048] (c) If the weight measured by the weighing device 35 is 6 kg or less, the optimal equipment determination unit 52 determines the small drum-type washing machine 1 to be the optimal drum-type washing machine 1.

[0049] Next, we will explain how the optimal driving course is determined in the optimal course determination unit 53.

[0050] The large drum-type washing machine 1 has two operating courses: a standard course (capacity 20kg) and a small course (capacity 16kg). Therefore, the optimal course determination unit 53 determines the optimal operating course as follows.

[0051] (a1) If the weight measured by the weighing device 35 is 16 kg or less, the optimal course determination unit 53 determines the small quantity course as the optimal operating course.

[0052] (a2) If the weight measured by the weighing device 35 is greater than 16 kg but 20 kg or less, the optimal course determination unit 53 determines the standard course as the optimal driving course.

[0053] The medium-sized drum-type washing machine 1 has two operating courses: a standard course (capacity 12 kg) and a small course (capacity 8 kg). Therefore, the optimal course determination unit 53 determines the optimal operating course as follows.

[0054] (b1) If the weight measured by the weighing device 35 is 8 kg or less, the optimal course determination unit 53 determines the small quantity course as the optimal operating course.

[0055] (b2) If the weight measured by the weighing device 35 is greater than 8 kg and 12 kg or less, the optimal course determination unit 53 determines the standard course as the optimal driving course.

[0056] The small drum-type washing machine 1 has two operating courses: a standard course (capacity 6kg) and a small course (capacity 4kg). Therefore, the optimal course determination unit 53 determines the optimal operating course as follows.

[0057] (c1) If the weight measured by the weighing device 35 is 4 kg or less, the optimal course determination unit 53 determines the small quantity course as the optimal operating course.

[0058] (c2) If the weight measured by the weighing device 35 is greater than 4 kg and 6 kg or less, the optimal course determination unit 53 determines the standard course as the optimal driving course.

[0059] As described above, the laundry system 100 of this embodiment includes a weighing device 35 for weighing the weight of laundry, and a display panel 36 which is a notification device that provides guidance information about the drum-type washing machine 1, which is the laundry device, based on the weight measured by the weighing device 35.

[0060] As a result, in the laundry system 100 of this embodiment, when the user starts using the drum-type washing machine 1, the weight of the laundry is measured, and guidance information about the appropriate drum-type washing machine 1 is provided based on the measured weight. Therefore, the user can be informed of the appropriate drum-type washing machine 1 according to the weight of the laundry.

[0061] In the laundry system 100 of this embodiment, the drum-type washing machine 1, which is the laundry device, can be operated based on either the standard course or the small load course, which are two operating courses with different laundry capacity and operating times. The display panel 36, which is the notification device, displays which of the standard course and the small load course is appropriate based on the weight measured by the weighing device 35.

[0062] As a result, the laundry system 100 of this embodiment can inform the user of the appropriate operating course from among the two operating courses, the standard course and the small load course, according to the weight of the laundry.

[0063] In the laundry system 100 of this embodiment, the laundry system is used in a laundry store where multiple drum-type washing machines 1, which are multiple laundry devices, are installed. The multiple drum-type washing machines 1 include multiple types of drum-type washing machines 1 with different maximum capacity, and the display panel 36, which is an notification device, displays which of the multiple types of drum-type washing machines 1 is appropriate based on the weight measured by the weighing scale 35.

[0064] As a result, the laundry system 100 of this embodiment can inform the user of the appropriate drum washing machine 1 from among multiple drum washing machines 1 according to the weight of the laundry.

[0065] In the laundry system 100 of this embodiment, the display panel 36, which is a notification device, displays which of the multiple drum-type washing machines 1 included in the available drum-type washing machines 1 is the appropriate one, based on the weight measured by the weighing device 35.

[0066] As a result, in the laundry system 100 of this embodiment, when some of the multiple drum-type washing machines 1 are in use, the system can inform the user of a suitable drum-type washing machine 1 from among the drum-type washing machines 1 that are immediately available, based on the weight of the laundry.

[0067] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the specific configuration of each part is not limited to the embodiments described above.

[0068] For example, in the embodiment described above, a weighing device 35 is provided inside the storage compartment 31 of the laundry cart 30, but it is not limited to this. For example, if the laundry cart 30A does not have a weighing device 35, a weighing device 35A capable of weighing the laundry cart 30A may be provided in the coin laundry store. As shown in Figure 6, the weighing device 35A weighs the laundry cart 30A with laundry placed inside the storage compartment 31. In this case, after placing the laundry inside the storage compartment 31, the weighing device 35A weighs the laundry cart 30A, and the sum of the weight of the laundry cart 30A and the weight of the laundry is weighed. Therefore, in order to know the weight of the laundry, it is necessary to subtract the weight of the laundry cart 30A, which has been weighed in advance, from the sum. The display panel 36 is erected in the coin laundry store by a vertical mounting part 36A so as to be positioned near the upper end of the laundry cart 30A.

[0069] In the embodiment described above, the weight of the laundry is measured by the weighing device 35 after the laundry is placed in the laundry cart 30, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in Figure 7, a weighing device 135 capable of weighing the laundry bag 120 into which the laundry has been placed may be provided in the coin laundry store. In this case, the weighing device 135 is placed upright so as not to move, but the weighing device 135 and the DTC2 are connected in a way that allows for communication by wire or wireless.

[0070] As shown in Figure 8, the weighing device 135 has a vertical section 131 for standing upright in a coin laundry store. Near the upper end of the vertical section 131, a weighing section 135A is provided that extends horizontally. The weighing section 135A is formed so that a laundry bag 120 containing laundry can be hooked onto it. Therefore, when a laundry bag 120 containing laundry is hooked onto the weighing section 135A, the weighing section 135A weighs the sum of the weight of the laundry bag 120 and the weight of the laundry. Therefore, in order to know the weight of the laundry, it is necessary to subtract the weight of the laundry bag 120, which has been weighed beforehand, from the sum. The display panel 36 is located at the upper end of the vertical section 131.

[0071] In the embodiments described above, an example of a weighing method for measuring the weight of laundry was explained, but it is not limited to that. The weighing method for measuring the weight of laundry using a weighing device is arbitrary.

[0072] In the embodiments described above, examples of methods for determining the optimal drum-type washing machine 1 in the optimal equipment determination unit 52 and the optimal operating course in the optimal course determination unit 53 were explained, but the invention is not limited to these examples. The methods for determining the optimal drum-type washing machine 1 and the optimal operating course are arbitrary.

[0073] In the above-described embodiment, a suitable drum washing machine 1 is determined from among the available drum washing machines 1 included in a plurality of drum washing machines 1, but it is not limited to this. A drum washing machine 1 that is "in use" may be included as a suitable drum washing machine 1 determined based on the weight measured by the weighing device 35. In that case, the user needs to confirm that the drum washing machine 1 is not "in use".

[0074] In the embodiment described above, the drum-type washing machine 1 can operate based on either of two operating courses that differ in laundry capacity and operating time, but is not limited to this. The drum-type washing machine 1 may operate based on either of two operating courses that differ in either laundry capacity or operating time. The number of operating courses that the drum-type washing machine 1 can operate is arbitrary.

[0075] In the above-described embodiment, the optimal drum-type washing machine 1 and the optimal operating course according to the weight of the laundry are displayed on the display panel 36 as guidance information for the drum-type washing machine 1, but this is not limited to that. The guidance information for the drum-type washing machine 1 displayed on the display panel 36 is optional.

[0076] The information displayed on the display panel 36 regarding the drum-type washing machine 1 may include only the optimal drum-type washing machine 1 or the optimal operating course. For example, if only the optimal drum-type washing machine 1 is displayed on the display panel 36, the user needs to select the appropriate operating course. The user can also specify which type of drum-type washing machine 1 to use. In this case, if the user specifies the drum-type washing machine 1 and weighs the laundry, only the optimal operating course will be displayed on the display panel 36.

[0077] Furthermore, if the user can change the washing time in the drum-type washing machine 1, the optimal washing time according to the weight of the laundry may be displayed on the display panel 36 as guidance information for the drum-type washing machine 1. In this case, the user may change the washing time of the drum-type washing machine 1 to the optimal washing time by checking the optimal washing time displayed on the display panel 36 and then making the necessary changes.

[0078] Furthermore, the guidance information for the drum-type washing machine 1 displayed on the display panel 36 may include the estimated completion time, usage fee, and drying time based on the weight of the laundry. In other words, the guidance information for the drum-type washing machine 1 only needs to be information corresponding to the weight of the laundry measured by the weighing device. In this case, the user may appropriately change various settings of the drum-type washing machine 1 by operating the machine after confirming the guidance information displayed on the display panel 36. In the laundry system of the present invention, since the volume of laundry can be accurately determined by weighing the laundry with the weighing device, even if the operation is not divided into multiple operation courses, if the operation is set in detail using a table, the user who has confirmed the guidance information for the drum-type washing machine 1 can appropriately change various settings of the drum-type washing machine 1 to perform operation suitable for the volume of laundry.

[0079] In the above-described embodiment, when a user selects the optimal drum-type washing machine 1 and the optimal operating course, operation according to the selected operating course is started. At that time, each operating course of the drum-type washing machine 1 has a set laundry capacity and washing time, and the drum-type washing machine 1 operates according to the capacity set for each operating course. For example, in the case of the standard course (20kg) of the large drum-type washing machine 1, regardless of the amount of laundry placed in the drum (even if the amount of laundry placed in the drum is less than 20kg), operation is performed based on a program in which the drum rotation speed and other settings are set so that the washing of 20kg of laundry is performed appropriately. Therefore, in the above-described embodiment, when the large drum-type washing machine 1 is determined as the optimal drum-type washing machine 1 and the standard course is determined as the optimal operating course, if the amount of laundry placed in the drum is less than 20kg, operation is not performed in accordance with the amount of laundry placed in.

[0080] Therefore, in the above embodiment, the volume of laundry can be clearly determined by weighing it, and the laundry is loaded into the machine indicated based on that. If each drum-type washing machine 1 has a program (table) in which the operating contents such as drum rotation speed are predetermined according to the volume (for example, 4kg, 6kg, 8kg, 10kg, etc.), then it can change the program and operate according to the weighed volume of laundry. In this way, if each drum-type washing machine 1 has multiple programs that are appropriately set in advance for each volume, it can wash the laundry appropriately according to the weighed volume. For example, if there are multiple programs that are appropriately set for each volume Akg, the smaller the value of A, the more appropriately the operation according to the volume can be performed.

[0081] In this case, since the information about the volume measured by the measuring device 35 is transmitted to the DTC2, the information about that volume may also be transmitted to each drum-type washing machine 1 via the DTC2. As a result, when the user puts the measured laundry into the drum of the drum-type washing machine 1 as instructed, and then starts the operation of the drum-type washing machine 1, the drum-type washing machine 1 may select a program corresponding to the volume of measured laundry and operate accordingly. Alternatively, after the user puts the measured laundry into the drum of the drum-type washing machine 1 as instructed, the user may input the measured volume to the drum-type washing machine 1 and then start the operation.

[0082] In the above-described embodiment, the display panel 36, which is a notification device, displays guidance information about the drum-type washing machine 1, but it is not limited to this. The method by which the notification device notifies guidance information about the laundry equipment is arbitrary. For example, the notification device may notify guidance information about the laundry equipment by voice.

[0083] In the embodiment described above, the laundry device 1 is a drum-type washing machine, but it is not limited to that. In addition to a drum-type washing machine, the laundry device 1 may also be a drum-type washer-dryer, a drum-type dryer, a top-loading washing machine, a top-loading washer-dryer, a shoe washing machine, a shoe dryer, a futon dryer, and the like.
