Description

  The present invention relates to a blower that can dry laundry and the like.

  Conventionally, this type of blower is formed in a box shape with a main body case having an exhaust port, a main body panel having a suction port for sucking indoor air, and a blower outlet for returning the sucked air to the room. In the main body case, a blowing means for sucking air from the suction port and blowing air, a damper for switching the blowing direction of the air from the blower fan to the exhaust port and the outlet, and the blower fan suck in It is known to have a heating means for warming the air. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). When the laundry is dried, the laundry is dried in a shorter time by heating and blowing air to the laundry. However, in that case, a large amount of energy is consumed by using a heat source. In homes where laundry is dried indoors, for example, the laundry is dried in the morning and left for work until the evening, or the laundry is dried at night and left for sleep until the morning. Often left for a long time. In this case, it is not always necessary to dry the laundry in a short time. Rather, it may take a certain amount of time, so there is a need to dry the laundry with energy saving.

  Hereinafter, a conventional blower will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the main body is formed in a box shape by a main body case 101 and a main body panel 104 having a suction port 102 and an outlet 103. The main body case 101 has an exhaust port 105 on a side surface, and includes a blower 107 as a blowing means, a heater 109 as a heating means, and a damper 110 that switches an air path of air blown by the blower 107. The main body case 101 further includes control means (not shown) for controlling the operation of the damper 110.

  When a conventional air blower is installed on the indoor ceiling surface 113 and a drying operation is performed, the air blower 107 is operated, and indoor air is sucked from the air inlet 102. The air sucked and blown by the blower 107 is warmed by the heater 109 in the air passage communicating with the blower outlet 103 partitioned by the damper 110, and the warmed air is returned from the blower outlet 103 to the room. Further, the damper 110 is opened at a position where the blower 107 and the exhaust port 105 are simultaneously supplied from the blower 107, and air is blown from the blower port 103 and the exhaust port 105. Then, by repeating the circulation of the warmed air, the laundry or the like suspended in the room can be dried.
