Description

  The present invention relates to a closet futon drying apparatus.

Conventionally, as a drying device used for close-in, a hot air outlet and an air inlet are formed on the upper surface of a shelf (partition shelf) provided in the middle of a storage (close-in), and the inside of the shelf Heater (hot water type heater, ceramic heater, etc.), blower, dehumidifier are installed, and the hot air outlet is connected to the heater side, and the suction port is connected to the dehumidifier side. There is one in which a futon or the like placed on a shelf is dried by blowing air from a hot air outlet of the shelf (see Patent Document 1).
JP-A-6-246096

  However, in the background art, since a hot water heater or a ceramic heater is used as a heater, a large heater or the like must be accommodated inside the shelf, so that the thickness of the shelf increases. As a result, the storage capacity of the futon is reduced, and the equipment cost is very high.

  Moreover, since the warm air from the heater is only blown out from the hot air outlet of the shelf, there is a problem that the heating (drying) ability is low.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a close-up futon drying device that increases the amount of futon storage, reduces the equipment cost, and improves the heating (drying) ability. It is what.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a bottom plate or a partition shelf for close-in, a rectangular frame, an upper plate that closes the upper opening of the square frame, and a lower opening of the square frame. The lower plate is formed to form a sealed space inside, and a planar heating element is attached to the lower surface of the upper plate, and a plurality of through holes are formed in the planar heating element and the upper plate. It is an object of the present invention to provide a closet-futon drying device that is formed in series and is provided with a fan that supplies external air to a sealed space.

  In order to prevent dust and the like from entering a sealed space such as a partition shelf from the through hole, it is preferable that a breathable nonwoven fabric is adhered to the upper surface of the upper plate.

  In order to reduce heat loss, the fan is preferably attached to the lower plate.

  In order to be able to uniformly supply the fan air to the sealed space partitioned by the reinforcing beam member, a reinforcing beam member for partitioning the sealed space is provided inside the rectangular frame, and the reinforcing beam is provided. It is preferable to have a configuration in which a communication opening is formed in the member to communicate the partitioned sealed space.

  According to the present invention, a sheet heating element is attached to the lower surface of an upper plate such as a partition shelf, whereby the futon is directly heated by the upper plate heated by the sheet heating element, and the sheet heating element The futon can be directly heated with warm air by blowing the air in the sealed space upward as warm air from a large number of through holes formed in a series on the sheet heating element and the upper plate by a fan. Therefore, the heating (drying) ability is improved, and the futon can be dried in a short time.

  In addition, since a thin (for example, 1 mm thick) planar heating element is only attached to the lower surface of the upper plate, the thickness of the partition shelf can be reduced, so that the storage capacity of the futon increases and the equipment cost is low. become.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a vertically long rectangular closet 1 is provided with a bottom plate 2 and a partition shelf 3, and a folded futon 4 is placed on each of the bottom plate 2 and the partition shelf 3. It is like that. Note that the futon 4 may be placed on either the bottom plate 2 or the partition shelf 3, and in this example, it will be described as being placed on the partition shelf 3.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the partition shelf 3 includes a wooden square frame body 6, a wooden upper plate 7 that closes the upper opening of the square frame body 6, and a lower side of the square frame body 6. It is composed of a wooden lower plate 8 that closes the opening, and the upper plate 7 and the lower plate 8 are joined to the rectangular frame 6 by using a nail, an adhesive, or the like, so that a sealed space (air chamber) ) 9 is formed. The upper plate 7 and the lower plate 8 are each 12 mm thick, for example.

  A reinforcing beam member 10 for partitioning the sealed space 9 at a substantially intermediate position in the left-right direction is provided inside the rectangular frame 6, and a communication opening for communicating the partitioned sealed space 9 with the reinforcing beam member 10. 10a is formed.

  A planar heating element 12 is attached to the lower surface of the upper plate 7 with an adhesive, and a large number of through holes 12a and 7a are formed in the planar heating element 12 and the upper plate 7 in series. Each of the through holes 12a and 7a has, for example, a hole diameter of 5 mmφ and is formed at a pitch of 50 mm vertically and horizontally.

  A breathable nonwoven fabric 13 is adhered to the upper surface of the upper plate 7. A fan 14 for supplying external air to the sealed space 9 is attached to the lower plate 8. The fan 14 does not necessarily have to be attached to the lower plate 8 and may be installed in the vicinity of the closet 1 to supply external air to the sealed space 9 through a duct.

  Since both the planar heating element 12 and the fan 14 are operated by supplying electricity, the electric wires 15 can be bundled and led out to the outside in a lump.

  If the press-on futon drying apparatus is configured as described above, the sheet heating element 12 is attached to the lower surface of the upper plate 7 of the partition shelf 3 so that the bed sheet 4 is covered with the upper plate heated by the sheet heating element 12. Is directly heated, and air in the sealed space 9 heated by the planar heating element 12 is formed from a large number of through holes 12a and 7a formed in series in the planar heating element 12 and the upper plate 7 by the fan 14. By blowing upward as warm air (see arrow a in FIG. 1), the futon 4 can be directly heated with warm air, so that the heating (drying) ability is improved and the futon can be dried in a short time. Become.

  Moreover, since only the thin (for example, 1 mm thickness) planar heating element 12 is stuck to the lower surface of the upper plate 7, the thickness of the partition wall 3 can be reduced, so that the storage capacity of the futon 4 increases and the equipment Cost is also low.

  Furthermore, if a breathable nonwoven fabric 13 is adhered to the upper surface of the upper plate 7, dust or the like can enter the sealed space 9 of the partition shelf 3 from the through holes 7a and 12a when the fan 14 is not used. It will be possible to prevent it.

  Further, if the fan 14 is attached to the lower plate 8, the air heated from the planar heating element 12 of the upper plate 7 descends to the lower plate 8 side due to the air blowing from the bottom to the bottom plate 8, and it becomes difficult to heat the lower plate. So heat loss is reduced.

  Further, the reinforcing rail member 10 inside the rectangular frame 6 suppresses the deflection of the partition shelf 3 and the fan 14 blows air into the sealed space 9 partitioned by the reinforcing rail member 10 by the communication opening 10a. It becomes possible to supply uniformly.

  In the above embodiment, the sheet heating element 12 and the fan 14 are provided on the partition shelf 3, but the sheet heating element 12 and the fan 14 may be provided on the bottom plate 2.

It is front sectional drawing of the closet | futon duvet drying apparatus which concerns on embodiment of this invention. It is a disassembled perspective view of the close-up futon drying apparatus of FIG. It is a front view of a closet.
