(Points of interest)
A large number of futons used in hospitals, various nursing homes, accommodation facilities, recreational facilities, etc. are not only economically rich, but also helped to promote hygiene and national hygiene. In addition to being used in general, it is not only common that the used items are immediately cleaned and disinfected, but then reused. Even in the futons used in ordinary households located in urban areas, the environment in which futons can be dried in individual households has been increasingly lost, and the number of people in the family environment of couples working together for nuclear families has increased Recently, there is a strong tendency to use cleaning by specialists, and in response to such a tendency, in addition to the traditional so-called futon specialists, we mainly focus on clothes. The cleaning industry has been forced to take countermeasures, and it is urgently required to develop a means for efficiently drying in a short time, not only the volume but also the structure of ordinary laundry. ing.

(Conventional technology)
As a typical example of a current professional contractor and a commercial futon dryer in the general cleaning industry placed under such circumstances, for example, a box type disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-157795 The bedding, mattress and other beddings are stored in a dry room in a stationary state so that they can be dried, and a dry air supply means for supplying dry air into the drying room and the ventilation of the bedding are allowed to pass through the dry air. In addition, there is a “bedding dryer” invention having a supporting means for bedding to support drying, and as in the “futon dryer” invention described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-239095, A gas burner is installed at the top of the machine that forms the drying chamber, a blower duct is placed in the drying chamber, a hot air blowing duct is installed in the inner bottom, and a blower that sends hot air from the gas burner to the drying chamber, and the exhaust hot air are dried. Room There is an exhaust fan that is exhausted in the room, and the hot air generated by the gas burner is supplied to the drying chamber while forcing the exhaust hot air in the drying chamber to be exhausted. Many have already been developed.

However, such a general commercial futon dryer has a main body formed in a box shape, and has been developed and manufactured to be individually installed and used indoors, so it is easy to move and install. On the other hand, with the conventional structure, it is difficult to improve the time required for the drying process and the reduction of the utility cost for drying. In many cases, there is an odor residue after washing and drying of various objects to be cleaned, such as cushions and carpets that sweat or smell on pillowcases or other bedding, or pet odors. In such a case, it is necessary to deal with repeated washing and drying processes multiple times, which complicates the cleaning work and cannot reduce the cost. Only served with Jo to give to our customers, there is a drawback that there is no strategy, immediate improvement is that has been long-awaited was the actual situation.

It is desirable to have a work room that can be used for work related to each saddle horse by moving the saddle horse placed on each heat exchanger facing the floor of the drying room. It must be installed in the object separately from outside facilities. It is also possible to use a part of the building in a building such as a factory or a residence for exclusive use, but it is emitted from humid exhaust, heat source equipment or heat exchangers. It is desirable that the installation be made so that heat and noise do not adversely affect other nearby facilities.

    The drying room of the futon drying facility can be further divided into a basic drying room and a finishing drying room, as in the examples described later. The basic drying room is supplied to the finishing drying room. The hot air discharged into the process of finishing and drying the futon is taken into the room, and the function of promoting the auxiliary drying of the futon containing a large amount of water after washing is achieved. A plurality of futon bags that can be suspended and supported at appropriate height positions are installed at intervals sufficient to ensure workability and air permeability, and the partition wall provided between the finishing drying chamber Open a vent near the floor to allow the hot air discharged from the finishing drying chamber to be taken in, and near the ceiling of the wall on the opposite side of these vents, an exhaust space and subsequent exhaust Mouth and hot air is the basis Uniformly homogeneously rises toward the ceiling side from the floor side in the 燥室, to the one formed so as to be guided to move into the drying each futon is desirable.

    The finishing drying room accommodates bedding that is housed in the basic drying room to a certain degree of dryness, forcibly supplies heated outside air from the vicinity of the floor surface, It is intended to perform the function of finishing and drying the futons by irradiation, and is made of a skeletal body that allows the futons to be hung in a hanging shape at a predetermined height and made to stand on the floor surface. The horse must be movably arranged, and a ventilation space of a predetermined depth is formed under the floor surface, and the ventilation space is arranged so that a part of the ventilation space is finished and faces the finish drying chamber. A ceramic element group that is arranged so as to be distributed substantially evenly over one or both sides of the ventilation area and that can achieve a radiation rate of 8 to 14 μm at a radiation temperature of 90% or more even at room temperature. Multiple heat exchangers A partition wall that can be ventilated through the vent near the floor is formed between the adjacent basic drying chambers. Desirably, it is configured to be supplied to the basic drying chamber through the mouth.

    The ventilation space takes outside air into it, passes it through a heat exchanger arranged in the space, forcibly guides it into the drying room (finishing drying room), sends it into the drying room floor (finishing) Drying room) Heated outside air can be ventilated by continuously blowing up the heated outside air to the futon, which is covered in a straddle-like manner on a saddle horse placed on the upper side of the heat exchanger facing the surface of the heat exchanger. Multiple heat exchanges that function to enable irradiation of growth light from the growth wave element or ceramic element group attached to the vessel, and are arranged at appropriate positions in the lower space of the same space and at predetermined intervals on the floor of the drying room Each unit must have a shape that allows outside air to be supplied and supplied with a substantially uniform pressure, and a piping duct formed in a branching shape under the floor of the drying room (finishing drying room) is passed to each heat exchanger. In contrast, an approximately equal amount of outside air is supplied However, it is desirable to dig a predetermined depth over almost the entire surface under the floor and form a box-shaped or vessel-shaped cavity, the depth of which hinders ventilation. It is better to set the vertical dimension relatively narrow enough to generate a sufficient wind speed and pressure and to form an efficient wind flow. If a fan is additionally installed in a place under the floor where good ventilation is not generated due to the occurrence of vortex or the like, or a part of the ventilation is placed on the downstream side of the heat exchanger on the side close to the blowing device A guide vane that can be blown and guided upward as a damming shape may be fixed in a hanging manner below the drying chamber floor or in a standing manner on the ventilation space floor.

A plurality of airflow spaces are arranged at predetermined intervals on the floor of the drying room (finishing drying room), and the upper surface of the drying room (finishing drying room) faces the drying room (finishing drying room). A saddle horse can be placed, and heat from heat source energy supplied from a heat source device installed at an appropriate position can be transmitted to the air that is forcibly supplied through the ventilation space, and the saddle placed above. From the nurturing wave element or ceramic element group combined with either the upper or lower side surface or the upper and lower side surfaces, it is possible to ventilate by blowing hot air toward the futon attached to the horse. It fulfills the function of irradiating a large amount of growing light toward the drying room (finishing drying room), and it must have both a ventilation structure and a structure capable of generating heat or releasing heat, It is assumed that electric heaters such as nichrome wire and stainless steel wire are evenly arranged on the ventilation surface and heat can be generated by supplying current from the heat source device, or a burner or stove made of gas or fuel is formed. However, in consideration of thermal efficiency and safety, etc., thin pipes capable of circulating steam are spread evenly over almost the entire surface, and steam as heat source energy heated by a heat source device such as a boiler is used. Suppose that a control mechanism is provided that can be circulated to dissipate heat and that can be controlled so that only the necessary heat exchanger can dissipate heat by allowing the steam supply to be stopped individually. Desirable.

    The heat source device performs the function of enabling heat energy to be supplied to the heat exchanger.

It must be located on the leeward side or both, or at a suitable place in the air supply line, or near the air inlet, and it should be a group of nurturing wave elements that are uniformly distributed over the entire vent cross-sectional area. More specifically, a ceramic element group capable of emitting far-infrared rays with high efficiency can be arranged in a double row, radial, spiral, grid, grid pattern with a ventilation cross section with respect to the ventilation cross section. It is desirable to have any one of various arrangement states such as a zigzag shape, a staggered shape, and the like, and it should be provided as a substantially uniform distribution, which can maximize the drying efficiency, More specifically As shown in the examples to be described later, a ceramic element group made of bioceramics (trade name) manufactured by EF Corporation, which exhibits a radiation efficiency of 90% or more even at room temperature, is used. It is also possible to use a growing wave element other than that.

(Effect of Example)
The general-purpose drying chamber 1 according to the first embodiment having the above-described configuration includes a ceramic element group shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 in addition to the features described in the far-infrared drying system in the section of the effect of the present invention. The ceramic elements 51, 51,... That form 5 are bioceramics (trade names) manufactured by F.U.F. Co., Ltd., and far infrared rays (growth rays) having a wavelength of 8 to 14 μm even at room temperature. The irradiation rate is ensured to be 90% or more, and the drying process object such as clothes containing water is brought into the drying chamber 2 from the point of time before the blower 31 and the heat exchanger 4 are activated. Moisture, organic components, etc. are activated, and conditions that easily generate heat are prepared. When heating and air blowing are started, heat is generated and dried quickly, and economical and quick drying is performed. If you can Cormorants effect can be obtained.

    And even after finishing the drying process and lowering the temperature in the drying chamber 2 and taking out the object to be dried, the growing light beam continues to be irradiated from the ceramic element group 5 with high efficiency. Including the general-purpose drying chamber 1 including the entire whole is kept hygienic by the action of purification, sterilization, and deodorization. The conventional drying equipment was not available unless it was cleaned and disinfected. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the ceramic element group 5 is arranged on the surface of the heat exchanger 4 on the side of the air supply port 23, so that the growing light beam directed toward the drying chamber 2 can be obtained. The characteristics of further improving the irradiation performance and further enhancing the drying and purification action are exhibited.

    In the drum type dryer 1 of the second embodiment, the ceramic element group 5 is arranged in the air supply pipe line 22 different from the drying drum 26 and its rotating mechanism, and it is easy to maintain without making the structure complicated. It is excellent, and is arranged in an attached manner to the heat exchanger 4 arranged on the most upstream side, from the air supply port 23 to the drum housing portion 27 and the exhaust port 74 housing the drying drum 26. In addition to improving the heat generation and drying performance of the drying chamber 2 as a whole, it is possible to constantly irradiate the growing light beam that brings about purification, sterilization, and deodorizing action from the normal temperature state during the drying process. In addition to improving the performance of the drying process, the drum dryer 1 itself can be kept hygienic, reducing the burden of maintenance work such as cleaning and disinfection, and greatly improving the workability of the cleaning process. An effect is obtained.

The futon drying facility 1 of Example 3 is subjected to a drying process according to the futon far infrared drying method of the present invention, and is a conventional futon drying facility that has already been developed by the applicant of the present invention (the ceramic element group 5 is not provided). As a result of the performance comparison, as shown in Table 1 below, in the conventional futon drying facility, after the blower 31 and the heat exchanger 4 are started, the designated drying temperature in the finishing drying chamber 2 is increased to 80 ° C. Although it depends on the weather conditions such as the season and outside temperature to increase the temperature, in most cases it took 15 minutes or more, whereas in this embodiment provided with the ceramic element group 5, about 10 minutes. The temperature reached 80 ° C. and succeeded in realizing a reduction of about 5 minutes.

    Further, in the conventional futon drying facility, after the temperature in the drying chamber reaches 80 ° C., it is necessary to perform the drying process for 70 minutes. Drying and finishing at the same level or higher can be obtained by 55 minutes of drying treatment, which can significantly reduce boiler operating time and reduce the amount of heavy oil used by 20-30% compared to conventional types. It has been confirmed that it exhibits excellent performance that can contribute to the conservation of the natural environment by improving economy.

    Furthermore, when comparing the finish of the futon drying process, it is generally said that humans sweat about 200 • per night while sleeping, most of which is water, but a small amount of salt, urea, protein It contains various components such as lipids, carbohydrates, ammonia, pyruvic acid, iron, potassium, calcium, bicarbonate ions, and bedding such as futon brought to the cleaning has an odor due to these components. In addition, strong pet odors are attached to cushions, carpets and the like of households that keep pets. These odors often cannot be completely removed after washing by conventional drying facilities, and a significant number of fuels, time and labor must be expended and re-washed and re-dried. Although there was a situation in which a thing that cannot be completely removed was given a joy to that effect, the object to be dried at the futon drying facility 1 according to this example was washed once and The odor as described above can be completely removed by the drying treatment, and the problems relating to the odor can be solved at once. In addition, the futon dried by the futon drying facility 1 As a result of strong drying from the center, the finish is much more resilient than traditional futons that have been dried. The advantage is obtained that can realize the cleaning process was soo is the value.

(Conclusion)

In addition, it is relatively easy to manufacture and construct drum-type dryers and futon drying facilities, etc., and drastically shortens the drying processing time compared to conventional drying processing equipment, reducing work expenses such as reducing utility costs. In addition to being able to greatly improve economic efficiency, it has often been necessary to carry out washing and drying multiple times before the deodorization effect is obtained. As a result of the deodorization effect being achieved through the cleaning and drying process, the deflationary economy has caused drastic changes such as low market prices and intensified service competition. In the economic environment, the cleaning industry is aiming to improve cleaning quality and work efficiency, and from consumers who want to keep clothes and bedding clean by a professional cleaning process for a long time It will be highly evaluated and expected to be widely used and disseminated.
