Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems in which: even when the oscillation function of a fan is used, the wind is not uniformly distributed over the whole laundry, causing nonuniform drying conditions; and when clothing is not dried, various germs propagate in the clothing, causing a half-dry smell.SOLUTION: A worm shaft of an oscillation mechanism of a fan 4 installed above laundry is extended, and a crank 10 is provided at the end part thereof. The fan 4 is arranged so that a projection 11 of the crank is fitted into a long hole 12 of a guide plate 5 on the frame side of an indoor laundry drying apparatus. Thereby, when a motor of the fan 4 is rotated, the projection 11 of the crank 10 is freely moved in the long hole 12, so that a body of the fan 4 is guided by a linear guide to be slidingly reciprocated in a horizontal direction in synchronization with oscillation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for drying a room.

When the laundry cannot be dried outside, such as on a rainy day, it is naturally dried using a laundry basket for drying the room, or it is dried by sending air with a fan. Or it was made to dry using a dryer.
As a prior art, there has been a method of drying a laundry by installing an electric fan on the upper part of the laundry and sending wind from there (Patent Document 1).

  JP 2012-20097 A

  With the structure of Patent Document 1, even if the swing function of the electric fan is used, since the wind does not spread uniformly over the entire laundry, unevenness occurs in how to dry. In addition, if it doesn't dry, germs grow in the clothes, causing a smell of fresh drying.

  The indoor clothes drying apparatus of the present invention is configured by connecting the tops of a pair of A-shaped legs with one upper connecting pipe, and connecting the hypotenuses of the legs with two intermediate connecting pipes. A base with the top of the A-shaped leg of the leg up, a fan attached to one end of the motor shaft, a worm gear reducer attached to the other end of the motor shaft, and a neck driven by the worm wheel shaft of the worm gear reducer A linear guide comprising a fan having a swing link mechanism, a rail fixed to the upper pipe, a slider combined with the rail, and an extension shaft end of the worm wheel shaft, and an outer periphery of the crank arm A crank having a protrusion protruding on the opposite side to the worm wheel side, and a parallel spacing slightly larger than the diameter of the protrusion, and at least twice the crank arm length A planar guide plate having a long hole made of a pair of long sides, and the upper connecting pipe so that the plane is vertical and the long hole is elongated vertically. The fan is fixed downward at the center thereof, the fan is directed downward, the worm wheel shaft is perpendicular to the plane of the guide plate, and the projection of the crank is a slot in the guide plate. When the fan motor is rotated so that it fits in, the crank that has been decelerated by the worm gear reducer rotates, and the protrusion of the crank is allowed to move up and down within the elongated hole of the guide plate. Thus, the fan of the fan is suspended from the intermediate connection pipe while being reciprocated while being guided by the linear guide and swinging by the swing link mechanism. Characterized in that it send the wind underneath was laundry.

The indoor drying apparatus of the present invention extends the worm shaft of the swing mechanism of the electric fan, provides a crank at the end thereof, and arranges the projection of the crank to fit inside the elongated hole of the guide plate on the gantry side of the indoor drying apparatus. Therefore, when the motor of the fan rotates, the projection of the crank moves in the slot so that the fan body is guided by the linear guide in synchronization with the swing and slides back and forth in the horizontal direction. The air blowing range can be greatly expanded compared to the ones only.
Thanks to this, the wind spreads throughout the laundry, making it easier to dry. Along with this, it is possible to suppress the odor generated by the propagation of various bacteria due to the semi-dry state lasting for a long time.

  Moreover, since the indoor clothes drying apparatus of this invention can obtain a sufficient ventilation range, even if it makes a fan small, the effect is acquired.

  Moreover, the clothespin of this invention has the support | pillar 8 as a joint. Therefore, unlike the laundry blow dryer described in Patent Document 1, the main body can be folded and stored in a compact manner.

It is the figure which looked at the indoor clothes drying apparatus of this invention from the front. It is the figure which looked at the indoor clothes drying apparatus of this invention from the side. It is a figure explaining the mechanism in which the indoor clothes drying apparatus of this invention operate | moves reciprocating and swinging. It is a figure explaining the state where the projection of the crank was fitted in the guide plate.

This will be specifically described below.
As shown in FIG. 2, the gantry of the indoor clothes drying apparatus of the present invention is shaped like the letter A of the alphabet when viewed from the side.
Legs 7 are attached to both sides of the pipe 1. A rod-shaped clothesline 6 is attached to the middle part of the leg 7. Hang clothes or other items to be dried on the clothesline 6.

  The strut 8 connecting the two legs 7 is a joint and bends. The two legs 7 can be opened and closed with respect to each other, and can be folded compactly as shown in FIG.

  A fan 4 is attached to the pipe 1 downward. The linear guide rail 2 is fixed to the lower surface of the pipe 1, and the electric fan is fixed to the linear guide slider 3. Thereby, the electric fan 4 can move horizontally along the pipe 1.

FIG. 3 shows that the fan 4 swings when the worm 13 attached to the tip of the motor of the fan 4 engages with the worm wheel attached to the switching shaft 9 of the swing function and further engages with the gear of the link mechanism 14. Exercise is possible.
In order to make the swing speed even slower, the rotational speed becomes slower by increasing the number of gear teeth on the link mechanism side. As a result, the movement of the link mechanism 14 is further slowed, and the swing motion is slowed in conjunction therewith.

As shown in FIG. 3, the swinging function switching shaft 9 extending from the main body of the electric fan 4 is extended, and a crank 10 and a protrusion 11 are attached to the tip.
As shown in FIG. 4, the protrusion 11 is fitted in a long hole 12 provided in the guide plate 5. The shaft 9 is rotated during the swing motion, and the protrusion 11 attached to the tip of the crank 10 is rotated by this rotation. The protrusion 11 moves along the long hole 12. Since the guide plate 5 is fixed to the pipe 1, the protrusion 11 reciprocates as shown in FIG. 4 along the long hole 12, and the electric fan 4 moves horizontally along the rail 2.

  In this way, the electric fan 4 swings and moves horizontally. For this reason, wind can be sent to clothes widely. In addition, because of this structure, the air blowing range is widened, so the fan can be miniaturized. Thereby, the weight can be reduced.
