And a laundry drying box characterized by being provided with a mouth for taking in and out of laundry.

In this laundry drying box, when laundry is stored in an internal storage room and the drying box is placed in a place exposed to sunlight, a heat absorbing material absorbs the heat energy of the sun, and the inside of the drying box is dried. The temperature of the laundry can be increased effectively, and the laundry can be dried quickly. In addition, since it uses solar heat for drying, energy is inexhaustible and there is no cost like using electricity or gas.
Drying can be performed advantageously at a low cost with energy saving.
In addition, since the laundry is dried in the storage room in the drying box, it is possible to prevent the laundry from being exposed to the public. Not only that, the laundry is pasteurized in the drying box.

In the above-mentioned laundry drying box, when a light-transmitting heat retaining plate is provided along the outer periphery of the heat absorbing material, heat radiation from the drying box can be suppressed,
Drying of the laundry can be made more effective. That is, the solar heat is absorbed by the heat absorbing material through the heat insulating plate, but the energy of the heat absorbed by the heat absorbing material is converted into heat energy of a long wavelength, so that it is difficult to radiate outside through the heat insulating plate. Through the effect, drying of the laundry is stopped.

[0010] Further, by providing an opening / closing means for opening and closing the laundry inlet / outlet, the laundry storage room can be closed during drying so that the laundry can be dried quickly. When the laundry is taken in and out, the storage room is opened so that the laundry can be easily taken in and out.

The above-mentioned laundry drying box has a balcony structure in which the heat absorbing material is installed facing the outside as a waist wall, so that a special waist wall can be eliminated and the laundry drying box can be dried. A functional waist wall having a function can be realized, and the scenery is not impaired by the laundry, and the laundry can be dried quickly.

In this balcony structure, the reflecting plate is provided so as to be capable of adjusting the direction of the outer periphery of the laundry drying box also serving as a waist wall, so that sunlight can be reflected on the reflecting plate, thus effectively. The solar heat can be absorbed by the heat absorbing material. Since the direction of the reflector can be adjusted, the direction of the reflector can be changed according to the position of the sun, and the solar heat can be efficiently absorbed by the heat absorbing material.

[0013] Further, the laundry drying box has a balcony structure in which the outer rim of the laundry drying box is inclined so as to face diagonally upward, and the laundry drying box has a balcony structure protruding outward from the balcony floor plate. The light beam can be efficiently applied to the outer edge of the laundry drying box, and the laundry storage room can be widely secured.
