Description

  The present invention relates to a clothes drying apparatus for drying clothes such as laundry or dried food, and in particular, a state in which a large number of laundry is separated from each other in a relatively small space and the relationship between the positions of the spaces is changed as needed. The present invention relates to a rotary clothes drying apparatus that can be suspended in a ready state.

  If the laundry is suspended on a simple laundry basket, the laundry will be arranged one-dimensionally along the laundry basket when viewed in the vertical direction. A variety of clothes drying devices have been proposed and put to practical use in which a large number of laundry can be hung in a two-dimensionally spaced manner so that a large number of laundry can be hung in a narrow space. Has been. In addition, the clothes drying device is rotated by a support column so as to improve the ventilation of the dried food suspended in such a manner that it is two-dimensionally spaced from each other when viewed in the vertical direction so as to promote drying of the dried food. Various types of rotary clothes drying devices have been proposed as described in Patent Documents 1 to 5 below.

JP-A-11-169597 JP 2001-009199 A JP 2001-327795 A JP2002-210293 JP 2006-192205 A

  As seen in the above-mentioned Patent Documents 1 to 5, the rotary clothes drying apparatus that has been proposed so far is a structure in which the clothes drying apparatus that is suspended in a two-dimensionally arranged state when the clothes are viewed in the vertical direction rotates as a unit. Even if the clothes drying apparatus rotates, the positional relationship of the clothes suspended on the clothes drying apparatus on the clothes drying apparatus remains unchanged. Therefore, ventilation to the dry matter suspended in the drying device is promoted as a whole by the rotation of the drying device, but the suspension of the drying material to the drying device is dense or there is a difference in the moisture content of individual drying products. The difference in drying between easy-to-dry and those that are difficult to dry is suspended by the drying equipment, and the end time of drying as a whole is the most difficult to dry. It depends on the time required for drying.

  According to the present invention, in the conventional rotary drying apparatus, even if the drying apparatus is rotated, the difference in drying between the easy to dry and the difficult to dry of the dried articles suspended at one time on the drying apparatus is not balanced. In view of the above situation, by rotating the clothes drying device, the arrangement on the drying device between the dried items suspended at once on the drying device is changed, and the dried food suspended at once on the drying device by rotation of the drying device It is an object of the present invention to provide a rotary clothes drying apparatus capable of advancing the end time of drying as a whole by leveling the difference in drying between those that are easy to dry and those that are difficult to dry.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a support frame and the support frame in a state of being concentrically aligned with each other along one main rotation axis and spaced from each other along the main rotation axis. The first and second main bearings supported by the body and the first main bearing rotatably support the first end, and the second main bearing rotates the second end. A pivot frame that is supported and pivots about the main pivot axis between the first and second main bearings;
The rotating frame bodies are sequentially arranged in a direction along the main rotation axis from the first end toward the second end, and are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the main rotation axis. A plurality of sub-bearings, an intermediate connecting member for connecting inner members of the sub-bearings adjacent to each other among the plurality of sub-bearings, and the first end of the plurality of sub-bearings. A first end connecting member that connects the inner member of the auxiliary bearing and the first end; an inner member of the auxiliary bearing adjacent to the second end of the plurality of auxiliary bearings; and the first A second end connecting member that connects the two end portions, and a dried suspension suspension saddle member that is supported by an outer member of each of the plurality of sub-bearings and extends in a direction perpendicular to the main rotation axis. It proposes the rotating clothes drying apparatus characterized by including these.

  The plurality of sub bearings may be equally spaced around the main rotation axis when viewed in the direction along the main rotation axis.

  A weight bar member that extends downward from a position supported by the sub-bearing and biases the dried fish suspension cage member in a horizontal position may be attached to the dried fish suspension cage member.

  The dried product suspension gutter member may be provided with a dried product clip that is suspended from the dried product.

  The rotating frame body may be provided with a wind turbine that receives a wind and generates a moment for rotating the rotating frame body around the main rotation axis. Instead of or in addition to such a windmill, electric drive means for rotating the rotating frame body around the main rotation axis may be provided.

As described above, the rotary clothes drying apparatus is aligned with each other along the main rotation axis and spaced apart from each other along the main rotation axis by the support frame. A first end supported by the first and second main bearings supported, and a first end supported rotatably by the first main bearing, and a second end supported by the second main bearing. A pivot frame that is supported and pivots about the main pivot axis between the first and second main bearings;
The rotating frame bodies are sequentially arranged in a direction along the main rotating axis from the first end toward the second end, and are spaced in a direction perpendicular to the main rotating axis. A plurality of sub-bearings, an intermediate connecting member for connecting inner members of the sub-bearings adjacent to each other among the plurality of sub-bearings, and the first end of the plurality of sub-bearings. A first end connecting member that connects the inner member of the auxiliary bearing and the first end; an inner member of the auxiliary bearing adjacent to the second end of the plurality of auxiliary bearings; and the first A second end connecting member that connects the two end portions, and a dried suspension suspension saddle member that is supported by an outer member of each of the plurality of sub-bearings and extends in a direction perpendicular to the main rotation axis. The rotating frame body rotates about the main rotation axis between the first and second main bearings. Thus, each of the dry suspension rod members supported by the outer member of each of the plurality of sub-bearings and extending in a direction perpendicular to the main rotation axis rotates around the main rotation axis. In addition, air around the dried fish is ventilated by rotating the dried food suspended on each of the dried fish suspension suspending members in the air, and is suspended vertically on each of the dried fish suspension hanging members. Even if there is a difference in the relative position between the dried fish and the suspension of the dried fish on each dried fish suspension member, or even if there is a difference in the moisture content of each dried fish, The difference in drying is leveled, and the time when drying is totally terminated is advanced.

  When the plurality of sub-bearings are equally spaced around the main rotation axis as viewed in the direction along the main rotation axis, the rotation frame rotates around the main rotation axis. By moving, it is possible to maximize the change in the relative positional relationship between the dried products suspended in the vertical direction by being suspended by each of the dried product suspension cage members, and the plurality of sub-bearings, intermediate connecting members , The first end connecting member, the second end connecting member, and the weight of the dried fish suspension saddle member are balanced with the rotational moment that is exhibited around the main rotation axis, and the rotating frame is rotated by the main rotation. It can be rotated smoothly around the axis and can remain in any pivot position.

  If a dried fish pinch that hangs the dried product is attached to the dried product hanging cage member, in addition to suspending the dried product in such a manner that the dried product suspended over the dried product hanging cage member from above, the dried product is dried by the dried product pinch It can be hung on the dried food suspension gutter member in a manner of being hung on the dried food suspension gutter member.

  If a wind turbine that generates a moment for receiving wind on the rotating frame body and rotating the rotating frame body around the main rotation axis is installed, the wind blown on the rotating frame body is used. The rotation frame can be rotated around the main rotation axis.

  If the rotary clothes drying device is provided with electric drive means for rotating the rotating frame around the main rotation axis, the rotating frame can be used at any time without depending on the wind blowing on the rotating frame. The body can be pivoted about the main pivot axis.

It is a perspective view which shows one Example of the rotary-type clothes drying apparatus by this invention in the state in which the rotation frame body exists in one rotation position around the main rotation axis. The rotary clothes drying apparatus shown in FIG. 1 is in a rotation position in which the rotation frame body is slightly rotated in the clockwise direction around the main rotation axis from the rotation position shown in FIG. It is a perspective view shown in a state. 1 and FIG. 2, the rotating frame body is further rotated in the clockwise direction around the main rotation axis when viewed from the front of the drawing from the rotation position shown in FIG. 2. It is a perspective view shown in the state in a moving position. It is a perspective view similar to FIG. 1 which shows the Example which attached the windmill to the edge part of the rotation frame of the rotary-type clothes drying apparatus shown in FIGS. It is a perspective view similar to FIG. 1 which shows the Example which drives the rotation frame body of the rotary-type clothes drying apparatus shown in FIGS. 1-3 with an electric motor.

  The rotary clothes drying apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 includes a support frame 10 as a part of its configuration. In the illustrated embodiment, the support frame 10 is made of a light metal tube, and is connected to four corners of a pedestal 12 having a rectangular ring and the rectangular ring of the pedestal 12 near the lower end. It consists of a pair of struts 14 made of four linear tubes inclined so as to approach each other from the lower end toward the upper end. The upper ends of each of the pair of support columns 14 each made of two straight pipe members are concentrically aligned with each other along one main rotation axis 16 and spaced apart from each other along the main rotation axis. In this state, the first main bearing 18 and the second main bearing 20 supported by the support frame 10 are attached.

  As another part of the structure of the rotary clothes drying apparatus, the first end 22 is pivotally supported by the first main bearing 18 and the second end is supported by the second main bearing 20. A rotation frame body 26 that rotates around the main rotation axis 16 is supported. The rotation frame bodies 26 are sequentially arranged in the direction along the main rotation axis 16 from the first end 22 toward the second end 24, and are spaced in a direction perpendicular to the main rotation axis 16. In addition, a plurality (four in the illustrated embodiment) of secondary bearings 28, 30, 32, and 34 and inner members of the secondary bearings adjacent to each other among these secondary bearings (the secondary bearings rotate with each other). The intermediate connecting members 36, 38, and 40 for connecting the inner members and the outer members), and the inner member 42 of the auxiliary bearing 28 adjacent to the first end 22 of the plurality of auxiliary bearings and the first A first end connecting member 44 that connects the end 22, and an inner member 46 of the sub bearing 34 adjacent to the second end 24 of the plurality of sub bearings and the second end 24 are connected. Second end connecting member 48 and outer members 50, 52 of each of the plurality of sub-bearings 28, 30, 32, 34. And a rod member 58, 60, 62, 64 for dried washing suspension which extend in a direction normal to the main rotation axis 16 is supported by 54,56.

  A plurality (four in the illustrated embodiment) of the sub-bearings 28, 30, 32, 34 are equally spaced around the main rotation axis 16 when viewed in the direction along the main rotation axis 16. Therefore, when there are four auxiliary bearings as in the illustrated embodiment, these auxiliary bearings are angularly spaced 90 degrees around the main rotation axis 16 when viewed in the direction along the main rotation axis 16. ing.

  In the example shown in the figure, the dried product suspension hooks 58 to 64 are provided with a dried product sandwich 66 that is suspended by sandwiching the dried product. However, the dried product sandwich 66 may not be provided. Whether or not the dried product pinch 66 is provided, the dried product may be suspended on the dried product hanging rod member 58 to 64 so as to straddle the dried fish rod member 58 to 64, and the dried fish pinch 66 is provided. In addition to such straddle suspension, the dried product can be suspended from the dried product suspension cage members 58 to 64 by the dried product sandwich 66.

  Further, in the illustrated embodiment, the weights for hanging the dried fish suspensions 58 to 64 extend downward from the positions supported by the auxiliary bearings 28 to 34 to urge the dried fish suspension hanging members in a horizontal position. Bar members 68, 70, 72, 74 are attached, and in the illustrated embodiment, weight blocks 76, 78, 80, 82 are further provided at the lower ends of the weight bar members 68, 70, 72, 74, respectively. It is attached.

  When the rotating frame 26 rotates about the main rotation axis 16 between the first main bearing 18 and the second main bearing 20, the sub bearings 28, 30, 32, and 34 are respectively connected to the ring a. , B, c, d along a circular locus, supported by the outer members 50, 52, 54, 56 of the sub-bearings 28, 30, 32, 34, and perpendicular to the main rotation axis 16. The dry suspension rod members 58, 60, 62, 64 extending in the direction of the above also maintain the horizontal posture at all times while keeping the central portions along the circular locus indicated by the rings a, b, c, d. As shown in FIG. 1, the air is rotated about the main rotation axis 16 so that the air around the dried food suspended on each of the dried fish suspension cage members 58, 60, 62, 64 is ventilated. ~ Dried material suspension rod members 58, 60, 62 at each rotation position of the rotation frame 26 illustrated in FIG. 3. As can be seen from the mutual positional relationship between 64, the relative positional relationship between the dried fish suspended vertically on the dried fish suspension rods 58, 60, 62, 64 changes. The time when drying is generally finished, even if there is a difference in the suspension of dried fish on the cocoon member, or even if there is a difference in the moisture content of each dried fish, the difference in drying between those that are easy to dry and those that are difficult to dry Is expedited.

  A plurality (four in the illustrated embodiment) of the sub-bearings 28, 30, 32, and 34 have an equal angular difference (90 in the illustrated example) around the main rotation axis 16 when viewed in the direction along the main rotation axis 16. If it is angularly spaced at an angle difference of degrees), the auxiliary bearings 28, 30, 32, 34 and the dried fish suspension rod members 58, 60, 62, 64 and their weight rod members 68, 70, 72, 74 are provided. The rotational moment that the weights of the masses (and the masses 76, 78, 80, 82) appear around the main rotation axis 16 is completely balanced and becomes zero. The rotational moment that the weight of the intermediate connecting members 36, 38, 40, the first end connecting member 44, and the second end connecting member 48 around the main rotation axis 16 is geometrically perfect. Is not balanced, but is expected to be roughly balanced. Accordingly, the weight of the rotating frame 26 is expected to be balanced around the main rotating axis 16 as a whole, but if necessary, the weight of the rotating frame 26 can be reduced by attaching a slight counterweight to an appropriate position. The rotational moment presented around 16 of the main rotational axis can be made completely zero. In this way, if the rotational moment that the weight of the rotating frame body 26 presents around the main rotating axis 16 is balanced to 0, the rotating frame body can be adjusted by appropriately adjusting the suspension of the dried product to the dried fish suspension cage member. 26 and the weight of the dried food suspended on it balance the rotational moment around the main rotation axis to 0, smoothly rotate the rotation frame around the main rotation axis, and at any rotation position Can also stay.

  The rotation frame body 26 around which the dried product is suspended may be manually rotated around the main rotation axis 16 at an appropriate time. However, as shown in FIG. 4, at least one end of the rotation frame body 26 (shown in FIG. 4). In the example, wind turbines 84 and 86 are attached which generate a moment for rotating the rotation frame 26 around the main rotation axis 16 by receiving wind at both the first end 22 and the second end 24. If it is, it is possible to use the natural wind if it is outdoors, and to send the wind by a fan if it is indoors, so that the rotating frame 26 is placed between the first main bearing 18 and the second main bearing 20. Can be rotated around the main rotation axis 16. The rotation frame 26 can be rotated around the main rotation axis 16 between the first main bearing 18 and the second main bearing 20 in place of the wind turbine as shown in FIG. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, a pulley 88 is attached to one end (first end 22 in the example shown in FIG. 5) of the rotating frame 26, and this is attached to the column 14 of the support frame 10. It may be performed by being driven to rotate through the pulley 94 and the endless belt 96 by the electric motor 92 attached at 90. When the rotating frame 26 is rotated around the main rotation axis 16 between the first main bearing 18 and the second main bearing 20, the hanger members 58, 60, 62, 64 for hanging the dried goods The relative positional relationship between the suspended dried fish changes as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, and the dried fish suspension to each dried fish suspension member is coarse and dense while the surroundings of the dried fish are ventilated. Even if there is a difference in the moisture content of each dried product, the difference in drying between the items that are easy to dry and those that are difficult to dry is leveled, and the time when the drying is totally completed is accelerated.

  While the invention has been described in detail with reference to certain embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to the embodiments within the scope of the invention.
