DRUM TYPE WASHING/DRYING MACHINE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a drum type washing/drying machine capable of protecting an ultrasonic vibrator even if water to be atomized is a medical solution, preventing easy temperature rise and easily preventing damage of the ultrasonic vibrator, and advantageous for preventing enlargement of a mist feeding part. SOLUTION: The washing/drying machine permits the mist treatment for moistening or wetting clothes inside a rotary drum 4 for deodorization or smoothing wrinkles with mist 20 fed from the mist feeding part 30 by utilizing an air circulation/blowing path 9 for drying clothes inside the rotary drum 4 and the mist feeding part 30 inside the air circulation/blowing path 9. The mist feeding part 30 has an acting water tank 312 exposing a vibration face 32a of the ultrasonic vibrator 32 and a water storage tank 311 for storing water to be atomized 21 to be atomized with the vibration from the ultrasonic vibrator 32. At least the water to be atomized 21 inside the water storage tank 311 is atomized by propagating the vibration of the ultrasonic vibrator 32 via acting water 21a stored in the acting water tank 312 and a secondary vibration material 313 which separates the acting water 21a from the water to be atomized 21. In this way, the ultrasonic vibrator 32 is protected from the water to be atomized 21, and the above purpose is achieved. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
