Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field of the invention] The present invention relates to a futon restoring device used in a futon washing system, and in particular to a futon restoring device that can prevent dust discharged from the futon from being released to the outside. Regarding equipment.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

A futon washing system that washes and recycles the futon in its entirety is known, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 125797/1983.

This futon washing system includes a surface cleaning process in which the futon surface is brushed to clean it, a washing and dehydration process in which the futon is washed and dehydrated using centrifugal force, and a moist futon is dried and restored using high-temperature air. It consists of a restoration process, etc.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, as an apparatus for drying and restoring a futon using high-temperature air, for example, an apparatus disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-67194 has been known. This conventional device is
A rotary drum that stores a futon inside and is driven to rotate; an exhaust fan that is disposed below the rotary drum to exhaust high-temperature air supplied to the rotary drum; and an upper opening that receives debris that falls from the rotary drum. It has a trash receptacle.

After the futon has been washed and dehydrated, the futon is stored inside the rotating barrel of the restoring device and subjected to a restoring action. In other words, due to the rotation of the rotary drum, the futon is lifted to the top and then naturally falls under its own weight. By repeating this natural fall while supplying high-temperature air into the rotary drum, the futon is gradually dried and restored. Ru. The hot air that has passed through the rotating drum is exhausted to the outside by an exhaust fan. At this time, the garbage discharged from the futon falls into the garbage receiving box and is stored.

In this restoration device, in order to properly restore the futon, it is necessary to supply a large amount of high-temperature air into the rotating body, and a powerful exhaust fan is used. Therefore, much of the dust discharged from the futon may be swept up by the exhaust flow generated by the exhaust fan and discharged to the outside through the exhaust passage. If the high-temperature air discharged from such an exhaust passage flows indoors and is reused for relaxing, it contains a lot of dust, which is not good for health, and requires a special filter.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention has been made with these points in mind, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a futon restoring device equipped with a filter that can prevent dust discharged from the futon from being released to the outside. .

[Summary of the idea]

The present invention provides a futon restoration system that includes a rotating body that stores a futon inside and is driven to rotate, and an exhaust fan that is disposed below the rotating body and exhausts high-temperature air supplied into the rotating body. In the apparatus, a garbage receiving box having an upward opening for receiving garbage falling from the rotating cylinder is disposed in an exhaust passage communicating between the inside of the rotating cylinder and the exhaust fan, and the garbage receiving box has a top opening on both sides and a rear side. It is characterized in that the surface and the bottom surface are constructed of a filter member.

According to the present invention, since the garbage receiving box made of a filter member is disposed in the exhaust passage that communicates the inside of the rotary drum with the exhaust fan, the garbage discharged from the futon inside the rotary drum is collected. The garbage is collected by the filter member of this garbage receiving box. Therefore, dust is not discharged from the exhaust fan to the outside, and the warm air used in the restoration device can be exhausted into the room as it is, so that it can be used for heating purposes.

[Example of idea]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 4 are diagrams showing an embodiment of the futon restoring device of the present invention. In FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, reference numeral 11 denotes a casing having a lid 39 for taking out the futon on one end surface, and inside the casing 11 is a substantially cylindrical rotating body 13 whose axis is substantially horizontal. It is well arranged. A rotating shaft 25 supporting the rotating barrel 13 is arranged so as to be rotatably driven by a motor 23 with a reduction gear. Further, the rotary drum 13 has a large number of ventilation holes 19 over substantially the entire circumferential surface, and furthermore, a protrusion 17 is provided on the inner surface of the rotary drum 13 in a protruding manner. A damper 27 for adjusting air volume is disposed above the rotary shell 13 , and exhaust fans 15 a and 15 b are disposed below the rotary shell 13 . exhaust fan 15
Air can be exhausted to the outside from a and 15b. Further, a heater 21 is provided between the damper 27 and the rotary drum 13 to heat the outside air to a high temperature. In order to measure the temperature of the high-temperature air heated by the heater 21 and send an opening/closing signal to the damper 27 for adjusting the air volume,
Upper temperature sensor 35 and lower temperature sensor 3, respectively.
7 are arranged.

Further, an exhaust passage 41 below the rotating barrel 13 communicates the rotating barrel 13 with the exhaust fans 15a and 15b.
A trash receptacle 31 is provided. FIG. 4 shows a partial perspective view of this garbage receiving box 31. As shown in FIG. 4, the garbage receiving box 31 is open at the top to receive the garbage discharged from the futon falling from the rotary drum 13, and both sides, back surface, and bottom surface are made of a metal net-like body. It is constituted by a filter member 33. Further, the garbage receiving box 31 can be pulled out from the casing 11. A pair of fixed filters 29 made of a metal mesh are attached and fixed to the inside of the casing 11 on the outside of both sides of the garbage receiving box 31.

Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention having such a configuration will be explained.

The futon that has gone through the washing and dehydration process is in casing 11.
After being put into the rotating barrel 13 through a lid 39 provided at one end, the rotating barrel 13 is connected to the motor 2 with a reduction gear.
Rotationally driven by 3. The futon is lifted upward by a protrusion 17 provided inside the rotating body 13 and falls under its own weight, and this operation is repeated. Inside the rotating body 13, outside air taken in from the damper 27 and turned into high-temperature air by the heater 21 enters through the ventilation hole 19 to warm and dry the futon. Thereafter, the high temperature air is exhausted from the rotary shell 13 to the outside by the exhaust fan 15. The temperature inside the rotating body 13 is measured by an upper temperature sensor 35 and a lower temperature sensor 3.
The temperature is detected at 7 and maintained at a predetermined temperature by opening and closing a damper 27 that is linked to these temperature detectors. In this way, the duvet is gradually dried by the repetition of the fall of the duvet due to its own weight due to the rotation of the rotary cylinder 13 and the high-temperature air supplied into the rotary cylinder 13.
will be restored.

In order to restore the futon, a large amount of high-temperature air must be supplied into the rotating body 13, so the exhaust fans 15a and 15b are powerful. Therefore, most of the dust discharged from the futon inside the rotating body 13 is removed by the exhaust fan 15a,
15b and tries to exit by riding the exhaust flow. In this case, a garbage receiving box 31 composed of a filter member 33 and a pair of fixed filters 29 are arranged in series along the exhaust flow in an exhaust passage 41 that communicates the inside of the rotary barrel 13 with the exhaust fans 15a and 15b. Garbage is placed in the trash receptacle 3.
Fine dust collected by one filter member 33 and further passed through this filter member 33 is collected inside a pair of fixed filters 29.

As described above, according to the present invention, most of the dust generated during restoration of the futon is collected by the dust receiving box 31 and the pair of fixed filters 29, and is prevented from being discharged to the outside. Therefore, the high temperature air exhausted from the futon restoring device can be reused for heating purposes. Furthermore, even if it is released directly into the atmosphere, it will not pollute the atmosphere.

In addition, if the garbage is clogged, the garbage receiving box 31
The dust can be easily removed by pulling out the filter from the casing 11, cleaning the dust receiving box 31, and cleaning the inside of the pair of fixed filters 29 that are visible from the outside of the casing 11.

Note that in this embodiment, the exhaust fan 15
Although an example has been shown in which two exhaust fans a and 15b are provided and the exhaust passage is branched into two, only one exhaust fan may be provided. Further, although the filter member 33 of the garbage receiving box 31 and the pair of fixed filters 29 are made of metal, they may be made of synthetic resin. Further, if the dust receiving box 31 alone is sufficient to remove dust, the pair of fixed filters 29 may not be provided.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the present invention, since the garbage receiving box made of a filter member is disposed in the exhaust passage that communicates the rotary cylinder and the exhaust fan, the garbage is collected by the filter member of the garbage receiving box. Collected and not released to the outside. Furthermore, in the case of dirt clogging, the dirt can be easily removed by pulling out the dirt receiving box from the casing and cleaning it.
