Title:
DRUM TYPE WASHING MACHINE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2014068968
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To realize a drum type washing machine capable of suppressing smell of clothing after washing.

The drum type washing machine includes: an air outlet 10 provided on an outer tub 2 and serving for exhausting air in the outer tub 2; an air inlet 11 provided on the outer tub 2 and serving for supplying the air exhausted from the air outlet 10 to the outer tub 2; and an air circulation passage 12 for connecting the air outlet 10 and the air inlet 11. The air circulation passage 12 is provided with a blower 13, a steam generator 14 for supplying steam, and a heater 15. After a dewatering step, clothing is heated by operating the blower 13 and the steam generator 14 and the heater 15. Then, the clothing is cooled by stopping the operations of the steam generator 14 and the heater 15, while operating the blower 13. An asporous bacterium with low temperature resistance is sterilized with heat and, simultaneously, a spore forming bacterium with high temperature resistance, which is not sterilized with heat, undergoes heat stress and the growth is delayed. Thus, the smell of clothing after washing is efficiently suppressed.
