Furthermore, in the clothing deodorizing apparatus 1, a drying / deodorizing course operation in which the deodorizing operation is performed after the drying operation can be performed.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an operation control operation by the control unit 910.

  When the user depresses the power button 451 and the garment deodorizing apparatus 1 is turned on, an operation control operation by the control unit 910 is started.

  When performing the operation of the deodorizing course, the user accommodates the clothes hung on the clothes hanger H <b> 1 in the bag body 10 suspended from the bag body holding unit 70. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3B, the user hooks the clothes hanger H <b> 1 on the hanger holding portion 42 in the bag body 10.

  The user presses the start button 452 after setting the deodorization course by pressing the deodorization button 453 of the ozone supply device 20.

  When a start operation is performed by the start button 452 (S101: YES), the control unit 910 determines what driving course is set (S102). When the deodorization course is set (S102: deodorization), the control part 910 starts the ventilation fan 700 and the ozone generator 610 (S103).

  Outside air is taken into the intake duct 810 from the intake port 418, and dust and ozone contained in the air are removed by the dust filter 820 and the ozone removal filter 830 in the intake duct 810. The air from which dust and ozone have been removed is sent into the ventilation duct 500 (see the arrow in FIG. 7B), and when the air passes through the ozone generator 610, the ozone generated in the ozone generator 610 is generated in the air. It is mixed. Thus, the air containing ozone passes through the ventilation duct 500 to the discharge port 414 and is discharged from the discharge port 414.

  The air containing ozone discharged from the ozone supply device 20 is introduced into the bag body 10 through the introduction duct 30. As shown by the arrow in FIG. 1A, the air containing ozone introduced into the bag body 10 flows from the bottom to the top while touching the clothes inside the bag body 10. Clothing is deodorized by the deodorizing action of ozone contained in the air.

  The air whose ozone concentration has decreased due to the deodorization of clothes is discharged out of the bag body 10 through the exhaust part 41 at the top of the bag body 10 as shown by the broken line arrow in FIG. When the deodorized air passes through the exhaust part 41, ozone is removed by the ozone removing filter 300.

  When a predetermined deodorizing operation time (for example, 8 hours) elapses (S104: YES), the control unit 910 stops the blower fan 700 and the ozone generator 610 (S105). Thus, the operation of the deodorizing course is completed.

  Next, when performing the operation of the scenting course, the user stores the clothing in the bag body 10 suspended from the bag body holding unit 70, and scents at the tip of the introduction duct 30 in the bag body 10. The supply unit 80 is attached. The user presses the start button 452 after setting the scented course by pressing the scented button 454.

  If it determines with the scenting course being set by S102 (S102: Scenting), the control part 910 will start the ventilation fan 700 (S106). Air that does not contain ozone passes through the ventilation duct 500 to the introduction duct 30 and is discharged from the introduction duct 30. The air discharged from the introduction duct 30 passes through the scent supply unit 80, and at this time, the fragrance component contained in the fragrance is volatilized and mixed into the air. Thus, the air containing the fragrance component is discharged into the bag body 10. The air containing the fragrance component flows from the bottom to the top in the bag body 10 and is discharged from the exhaust portion 41 to the outside of the bag body 10. The fragrance component is adsorbed on the clothes housed in the bag body 10.

  When a predetermined scenting operation time (for example, 10 minutes) elapses (S107: YES), the control unit 910 stops the blower fan 700 (S108). Thus, the operation of the scented course is completed.

  Next, when performing the operation of the drying course or the drying / deodorizing course, the user places the laundry suspended on the laundry hanger H2 in the bag body 10 suspended on the bag body holding unit 70, that is, wet clothing.

When performing the drying / deodorizing course, the user presses the deodorizing button 453 following the drying button 455. After setting the drying / deodorizing course, press the start button 452.

  If it determines with the drying course being set by S102 (S102: drying), the control part 910 will start the ventilation fan 700 and the heater 620 (S109). The air taken into the ventilation duct 500 passes through the ozone generator 610 in a stopped state, and then most of the air is heated by the heater 620 through the main flow path 515, and hot air having a high temperature (for example, about 100 ° C.). (See solid arrow in FIG. 7A). On the other hand, a part of the air passes through the bypass channel 516 (see the broken line arrow in FIG. 7A), and then merges with the hot air from the main channel 515 in the cold air state. As a result, the hot air is mixed with the cold air and becomes hot air at an appropriate temperature (for example, about 60 ° C.) to be introduced into the bag body 10 to dry the clothing (the white outline in FIG. 7A). See arrow). The main flow path 515 is formed on the outer peripheral side of the curved portion 510a where air easily flows. In addition, the flow of air toward the main flow path 515 is adjusted by the three rectifying plates 517. With these configurations, most of the air smoothly flows to the main flow path 515, so that a large amount of air can be used as hot air in the main flow path 515, and the temperature of the hot air due to mixing with the cold air becomes too low. There is nothing.

  Thereafter, the hot air is discharged from the discharge port 414 and is introduced into the bag body 10 through the introduction duct 30. The warm air flows from the bottom to the top in the bag body 10 and is discharged from the exhaust portion 41 to the outside of the bag body 10. The laundry accommodated in the bag body 10 is dried with warm air. Here, as shown in FIG. 1A, the outlet 15 of the bag body 10 is at the center in the left-right direction of the bag body 10, and the exhaust part 41 is leftward from the center in the left-right direction of the bag body 10. It is in a shifted position. Thereby, warm air circulates efficiently in the bag body 10, and the laundry becomes easy to dry.

  When a predetermined drying operation time (for example, 150 minutes) elapses (S110: YES), the control unit 910 stops the blower fan 700 and the heater 620 (S111). Thus, the operation of the drying course is completed.

  When it is determined in S102 that the drying / deodorizing course is set (S102: drying / deodorizing), the control unit 910 activates the blower fan 700 and the heater 620 (S112), and performs a drying operation similar to the drying course. . When the drying operation time has elapsed (S113: YES), the control unit 910 stops the heater 620 (S114). Thereafter, the control unit 910 activates the ozone generator 610 (S115) and performs a deodorizing operation similar to the deodorizing course. When the deodorizing operation time has elapsed (S116: YES), the control unit 910 stops the blower fan 700 and the ozone generator 610 (S117). Thus, the operation of the drying / deodorizing course is completed.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the control operation of the lighting device 90 by the control unit 910.

  When the garment deodorizing apparatus 1 is turned on, the control operation of the lighting device 90 by the control unit 910 is started. The controller 910 turns on the lighting device 90 (S201). The interior of the bag body 10 is illuminated by the lighting device 90. Thereby, the user can easily perform the operation of housing the clothing in the bag body 10. In particular, since the window portion 13 is provided in the bag body 10, the user can perform the work of storing clothes while looking inside the bag body 10 illuminated by the lighting device 90 through the window portion 13.

  The control unit 910 determines whether or not a start operation using the start button 452 has been performed, and whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) has elapsed since the lighting device 90 was turned on (S202, S203). . Then, when the start operation is performed (S202: YES) or when a predetermined time elapses before the start operation is performed (S202: NO → S203: YES), the control unit 910 turns off the lighting device 90 ( S204).

  When the driving of any driving course is started, the control unit 910 next determines whether or not a predetermined time before the end of driving (for example, 30 minutes before) (S205). Then, when it is a predetermined time before the end of the operation (S205: YES), the control unit 910 turns on the lighting device 90 (S206). The user can grasp that the end of the driving is near by confirming that the inside of the bag body 10 is illuminated by the lighting device 90 through the window portion 13. Thereafter, when the operation ends (S207: YES), the control unit 910 turns off the illumination device 90 (S208). It should be noted that the lighting device 90 may be continuously turned on from a predetermined time before the end of operation, or may be turned on intermittently (for example, 5 minutes on-5 minutes off).

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating the control operation of the wrinkle extension course by the control unit 910 according to the first modification.

  When the wrinkle stretching course is operated, the user accommodates clothing such as a suit to be wrinkled in the bag 10 suspended from the bag holding unit 70, and presses the steam button 456 of the ozone supply device 20. After pressing, the start button 452 is pressed. When the warm air is generated from the ozone supply device 20, the user performs the warm air setting by pressing the warm air setting button 457 before pressing the start button 452.

  When the operation of the wrinkle stretching course is started, the control unit 910 first activates the blower fan 700 (S301). Next, the control unit 910 determines whether or not hot air is set (S302).

  When there is no hot air setting (S302: NO), the control unit 910 starts the steam heater 1300 immediately after starting the blower fan 700 (S303). Steam is supplied from the steam generator 1000 into the introduction duct 30, and the supplied steam is introduced into the bag body 10 by being put on the unheated wind from the ozone supply device 20 (FIG. 12A). reference). The introduced steam hits the clothing in the bag body 10, and the wrinkles attached to the clothing are stretched by the heat and moisture of the steam.

  The higher the steam applied to the clothing, the higher the effect of stretching the wrinkles of the clothing. Therefore, for example, when the temperature around the bag body 10 is low or when the wrinkles of clothing are strong, warm air setting is performed by the user. In addition, since the heater 620 is not started when warm air setting is not performed, the power consumption of the clothing deodorizing apparatus 1 in the wrinkle stretching course can be suppressed.

  If it is determined in S302 that there is a hot air setting (S302: YES), the control unit 910 starts the heater 620 immediately after starting the blower fan 700 (S304). Thereby, warm air is supplied in the bag body 10 from the ozone supply apparatus 20, and the inside of the bag body 10 and clothing are warmed by warm air. Further, if the clothing is wet, the wetness is removed. When a predetermined waiting time (for example, about 5 to 10 minutes) has elapsed (S305: YES) and the inside of the bag 10 and the clothing are in a moderately warmed state, the control unit 910 activates the steam heater 1300. (S303).

  The steam supplied to the introduction duct 30 from the steam generator 1000 is introduced into the bag body 10 on the warm air from the ozone supply device 20. Since the inside of the bag body 10 and the clothing are warmed and the steam is mixed into the warm air, the temperature of the steam is not easily lowered, and the steam is applied to the clothing as it is at a high temperature. Thereby, the wrinkle of clothes becomes easy to extend.

  When a predetermined steam operation time (for example, 10 minutes) elapses (S306: YES), the control unit 910 stops the blower fan 700 and the steam heater 1300 (S307). In addition, when the heater 620 is operating, the control unit 910 also stops the heater 620. Thus, the driving of the wrinkle stretching course is completed.

  In addition, in the clothing deodorizing apparatus 1 of the present modified example, it is possible to perform a deodorizing operation for deodorizing clothing following the operation of the wrinkle stretching course. In this case, the start button 452 is pressed after the steam button 456 and the deodorizing button 453 are pressed. The control unit 910 stops only the steam heater 1300 in S307 of FIG. 15, and then performs the control operation of S115 to S117 shown in FIG. That is, the control unit 910 activates the ozone generator 610 to perform a deodorizing operation similar to the deodorizing course, and stops the blower fan 700 and the ozone generator 610 when the deodorizing operation time has elapsed.

  According to this modified example, since the clothes deodorizing apparatus 1 can not only deodorize clothes but also wrinkle the clothes, the convenience for the user is improved.

<Other changes>
In the above embodiment, the clothing is accommodated in the bag body 10. However, the accommodating part for accommodating clothing is not limited to the bag body 10 and may be a container formed in a box shape with resin or metal, for example. Further, the storage unit can be a storage that also stores the ozone supply device 20. In this case, the leading end of the introduction duct 30, that is, the air outlet, is directed to the clothing suspended in the storage, and the air or warm air containing ozone blown upward from the introduction duct 30 is applied to the clothing. Further, the air in the storage is introduced into the ozone supply device 20.

  In the first modification, the steam generator 1000 is provided outside the ozone supply device 20. However, the steam generator 1000 may be incorporated in the ozone supply device 20.
