Description

本発明の実施形態は、乾燥機に関する。 Embodiments of the present invention relate to a dryer.

従来、洗浄などによって水分を含んだ布団やマットレスなどのマット状部材を乾燥させる乾燥機が知られている。このような乾燥機として、その筐体に加熱された空気が流入する乾燥空間が画成され、当該乾燥空間内にマット状部材の載置部を配し、この載置部の内部に画成された内部空間と乾燥空間とを連通させ、載置されたマット状部材に加熱された空気を通過させることによって、マット状部材の乾燥を行うものがある。 Conventionally, a dryer has been known that dries a mat-like member such as a futon or a mattress containing water by washing or the like. As such a dryer, a drying space into which heated air flows into the housing is defined, a mounting portion of a mat-like member is arranged in the drying space, and the mounting portion is defined inside the mounting portion. In some cases, the mat-shaped member is dried by communicating the internal space and the drying space and allowing heated air to pass through the placed mat-shaped member.

従来の乾燥機においては、載置部が移動可能に構成されており、載置部を乾燥空間内に移動させて該空間に収容された際に、載置部の後側面に設けられ内部空間と連通する開口と、乾燥空間を画成する筐体の後壁面に設けられた開口とが接続されることにより、当該開口に連通する排気路から空気を排出している。また、従来の乾燥機においては、内部空間の開口と後壁面の開口との接続箇所をシールする以外に、載置部のマット部材を載置する両側の下部外周とそれに対応する筐体側壁面との間もシールする構成である。つまり、扉側を除き載置部の下部外周（又は対応する筐体側壁面）にシール部材を取り付ける必要があり、その取り付け作業が大変であった。また、シール範囲が広いために乾燥空間の気密性を保つことが難しかった。また、載置部の下部外周に取り付けたシール部材の接触抵抗を受けた状態で、載置部を筐体から出し入れすることになるため、載置台の移動に力が必要となり大変であった。 In the conventional dryer, the mounting portion is configured to be movable, and when the mounting portion is moved into the drying space and accommodated in the space, it is provided on the rear side surface of the mounting portion and is provided in the internal space. By connecting the opening that communicates with the opening and the opening provided on the rear wall surface of the housing that defines the drying space, air is discharged from the exhaust passage that communicates with the opening. Further, in the conventional dryer, in addition to sealing the connection point between the opening of the internal space and the opening of the rear wall surface, the lower outer circumferences on both sides on which the mat member of the mounting portion is placed and the corresponding side wall surface of the housing It is also configured to seal between. That is, it is necessary to attach the seal member to the lower outer periphery (or the corresponding housing side wall surface) of the mounting portion except for the door side, and the attachment work is difficult. Moreover, since the sealing range is wide, it is difficult to maintain the airtightness of the dry space. In addition, since the mounting portion is moved in and out of the housing while receiving the contact resistance of the seal member attached to the lower outer periphery of the mounting portion, it is difficult to move the mounting base.

ガスヒータ２１は、上方壁部２５上方に且つ筐体２０の最後方に設けられており、ガスバーナを有して当該ガスバーナにより空気を加熱し、接続パイプ２５３（図３参照）により後述する吸気流路２５１（図１１参照）に加熱した空気を供給する。なお、ガスヒータ２１は、他の方式により空気を加熱する他の装置により代替されても良い。 The gas heater 21 is provided above the upper wall portion 25 and at the rearmost end of the housing 20, has a gas burner, heats air by the gas burner, and has an intake flow path described later by a connecting pipe 253 (see FIG. 3). Heated air is supplied to 251 (see FIG. 11). The gas heater 21 may be replaced by another device that heats the air by another method.

排気ファン２２は、ガスヒータ２１の前方に設けられており、空気の逆流を防止するためのチャッキダンパ２２１を有して乾燥空間Ｄ内の空気を吸気し、チャッキダンパ２２１を介して外部へ排出する。 The exhaust fan 22 is provided in front of the gas heater 21, has a check damper 221 for preventing backflow of air, takes in the air in the drying space D, and discharges the air to the outside through the check damper 221. ..

霧生成部２３は、ガスヒータ２１と排気ファン２２との間に設けられており、消臭剤、除菌剤、防ダニ剤などの薬剤を含む液体が貯留される貯液槽と、この貯液槽の底部に設けられて貯液槽に貯留された液体に超音波を発生させる超音波振動子とを有する超音波霧化装置として構成される。貯液槽は、接続パイプ２３１により後述する吸気流路２５１（図１１参照）と流体的に接続される。 The mist generation unit 23 is provided between the gas heater 21 and the exhaust fan 22, and has a liquid storage tank for storing a liquid containing a chemical such as a deodorant, a disinfectant, and an anti-tick agent, and a liquid storage tank. It is configured as an ultrasonic atomizer having an ultrasonic vibrator provided at the bottom of the tank and generating ultrasonic waves in the liquid stored in the liquid storage tank. The liquid storage tank is fluidly connected to the intake flow path 251 (see FIG. 11) described later by a connecting pipe 231.

制御部２４は、排気ファン２２の前方、即ち筐体２０の最前方に設けられており、使用者が乾燥機１の動作に関する指示操作をするための操作パネル２４１を有し、操作パネル２４１が前方を向くように設けられる。制御部２４は、操作パネル２４１になされた操作に基づいて、ガスヒータ２１、排気ファン２２、及び霧生成部２３の動作を制御する。 The control unit 24 is provided in front of the exhaust fan 22, that is, in the foremost front of the housing 20, and has an operation panel 241 for the user to perform an instruction operation regarding the operation of the dryer 1, and the operation panel 241 has an operation panel 241. It is provided so that it faces forward. The control unit 24 controls the operations of the gas heater 21, the exhaust fan 22, and the fog generation unit 23 based on the operations performed on the operation panel 241.

The configuration of the movable mounting portion 3 will be described in detail. 4 to 6 are a perspective view, a front view, and a side view showing the configuration of the movable mounting portion, respectively. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a vertical cross section of one hole portion in the punching hole group provided in the movable mounting portion, and FIG. 8 shows a modified example thereof. 9 and 10 are a front view and a side view showing a movable mounting portion on which a futon is mounted, respectively. 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 2, and FIG. 12 is a plan view of a bottom wall portion of the housing. FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the ventilation holes of the pressing band provided in the movable mounting portion. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the movable mounting portion 3 includes a mounting base 31, a pedestal portion 32, and a pressing band 33.

載置台３１は、全体として、上面及び底面が前後方向に向くように横たえ、最も鋭角に形成された頂点に対向する一側面を下方に向けた中空の略三角柱状に形成される。以降の説明においては、三角柱としての上面及び底面の前方側を載置台３１の前面とし、他方側を載置台３１の背面とし、下方に向けられた三角柱としての一側面を載置台３１の底面とする。また、他の傾斜する二側面と上端に形成された曲面とを載置台３１の載置面とする。したがって載置面は、前後方向を向く仮想的な折り曲げ線が上端に位置付けられるように平面を折り曲げた形状となる。載置台３１の底面は、台座部３２の上面に接続される。 As a whole, the mounting table 31 is formed in a hollow substantially triangular columnar shape in which the upper surface and the bottom surface are laid so as to face in the front-rear direction and one side surface facing the apex formed at the acute angle is directed downward. In the following description, the front side of the upper surface and the bottom surface of the triangular prism is the front surface of the mounting table 31, the other side is the back surface of the mounting table 31, and one side surface of the triangular prism facing downward is the bottom surface of the mounting table 31. To do. Further, the other two inclined side surfaces and the curved surface formed at the upper end are used as the mounting surface of the mounting table 31. Therefore, the mounting surface has a shape in which the plane is bent so that the virtual bending line facing the front-rear direction is positioned at the upper end. The bottom surface of the mounting table 31 is connected to the upper surface of the pedestal portion 32.

図６に示すように、載置台３１の両側面には、載置台３１の内部空間Ｐ（図１１参照）と乾燥空間Ｄとを連通する円形の複数の孔部からなるパンチング孔群３１１が設けられる。このパンチング孔群３１１を介して乾燥空間Ｄと内部空間Ｐとの空気の流動がなされる。これらパンチング孔群３１１は、載置台３１の最上端から所定距離に亘って設けられ、この所定距離は、布団の長手方向幅の半分以上が好ましい。 As shown in FIG. 6, on both side surfaces of the mounting table 31, punching hole groups 311 composed of a plurality of circular holes communicating the internal space P (see FIG. 11) of the mounting table 31 and the drying space D are provided. Be done. Air flows between the drying space D and the internal space P through the punching hole group 311. These punching hole groups 311 are provided over a predetermined distance from the uppermost end of the mounting table 31, and the predetermined distance is preferably half or more of the width in the longitudinal direction of the futon.

図７に示すように、パンチング孔群３１１のそれぞれの孔部は、乾燥空間Ｄ側、即ち布団Ｆが当接する側（図中上側）の周縁部が、乾燥空間Ｄ側に向かうにつれて拡径するように曲面３１１ａが形成されている。したがって、パンチング孔群３１１のそれぞれの孔部は、乾燥空間Ｄ側の開口径（孔径）が内部空間Ｐ側の開口径より拡径することとなる。このような周縁部に曲面３１１ａが形成されるパンチング孔群３１１は、内部空間Ｐ側の開口径が５〜８φであることが好ましい。なお、パンチング孔群３１１のそれぞれの孔部は、図８に示すように周縁部のみならず深さ方向全体に亘って曲面３１１ａを形成してもよく、曲面３１１ａに代わり乾燥空間Ｄ側に向かうにつれて拡径するようにテーパー面を形成してもよい。 As shown in FIG. 7, the diameter of each hole of the punching hole group 311 increases as the peripheral portion on the dry space D side, that is, the side where the futon F abuts (upper side in the figure) approaches the dry space D side. The curved surface 311a is formed as described above. Therefore, the opening diameter (hole diameter) on the drying space D side of each hole of the punching hole group 311 is larger than the opening diameter on the internal space P side. The punching hole group 311 in which the curved surface 311a is formed on such a peripheral edge preferably has an opening diameter of 5 to 8φ on the internal space P side. As shown in FIG. 8, each hole portion of the punching hole group 311 may form a curved surface 311a not only on the peripheral edge portion but also over the entire depth direction, and instead of the curved surface 311a, it faces the dry space D side. A tapered surface may be formed so that the diameter increases as the diameter increases.

また、載置台３１の正面には、使用者が可動載置部３を移動する際に把持する把持部３１２が設けられている。 Further, on the front surface of the mounting table 31, a gripping portion 312 that is gripped when the user moves the movable mounting portion 3 is provided.

乾燥対象である布団Ｆを載置台３１に載置する場合、図９及び図１０に示すように、布団Ｆの短手方向を載置台３１の前後方向に向け、パンチング孔群３１１を覆うように載置台３１の載置面に載置する。この際、布団Ｆは載置面の傾斜に沿うように折り曲げられた状態となる。 When the futon F to be dried is placed on the mounting table 31, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the lateral direction of the futon F is directed to the front-rear direction of the mounting table 31 so as to cover the punching hole group 311. It is placed on the mounting surface of the mounting table 31. At this time, the futon F is in a state of being bent along the inclination of the mounting surface.

載置台３１の上端は曲率を有する曲面に形成されており、その曲率半径は載置される布団Ｆの厚みの少なくとも０．９倍以上の大きさとすることが好ましい。このような曲率半径を有する曲面が形成されることにより、布団Ｆが折り曲げられて載置された場合、布団Ｆの折り曲げ部分を曲面に沿って面接触させることができ、そこに加わる応力を良好に分散することができる。もし載置台３１の上方端部が鋭角、または曲率半径がより小さい曲面に形成されている場合、その上方端部に当接する布団Ｆの折り曲げ部分の一部に応力が集中することがある。このような応力集中が生じると、当該部分が圧縮され密度が高まることにより通気性が低下し、延いては乾燥効率が低下する可能性がある。しかしながら、載置台３１が上述した曲率半径を有することにより、このような乾燥効率の低下を回避することができる。さらに、曲面においてもパンチング孔群３１１を形成することができる
ため、乾燥効率の向上も実現できる。 The upper end of the mounting table 31 is formed on a curved surface having a curvature, and the radius of curvature thereof is preferably at least 0.9 times the thickness of the futon F on which the mounting table F is placed. By forming a curved surface having such a radius of curvature, when the futon F is bent and placed, the bent portion of the futon F can be brought into surface contact along the curved surface, and the stress applied thereto is good. Can be dispersed in. If the upper end of the mounting table 31 is formed at an acute angle or a curved surface having a smaller radius of curvature, stress may be concentrated on a part of the bent portion of the futon F that abuts on the upper end. When such stress concentration occurs, the portion is compressed and the density is increased, so that the air permeability is lowered, and the drying efficiency may be lowered. However, since the mounting table 31 has the radius of curvature described above, such a decrease in drying efficiency can be avoided. Further, since the punching hole group 311 can be formed on the curved surface, the drying efficiency can be improved.

台座部３２は、図４及び図１１に示すように、中空の略直方体状に形成されており、その内部空間Ｔと載置台３１の内部空間Ｐとを接続するための開口部３２１ａが上面に形成されている。一方、台座部３２の下面には、筐体２０の底壁部２８内に形成された後述する下方排気流路２８１と内部空間Ｔとを接続するための開口部３２１ｂが形成されている。これら開口部３２１ａ及び開口部３２１ｂにより、内部空間Ｐ内の空気の下方排気流路２８１への流入を可能としている。 As shown in FIGS. 4 and 11, the pedestal portion 32 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and an opening 321a for connecting the internal space T and the internal space P of the mounting table 31 is provided on the upper surface. It is formed. On the other hand, on the lower surface of the pedestal portion 32, an opening 321b for connecting the lower exhaust flow path 281 to be described later and the internal space T formed in the bottom wall portion 28 of the housing 20 is formed. These openings 321a and 321b allow air in the internal space P to flow into the lower exhaust flow path 281.

台座部３２には、前方端部下面に２つの前輪キャスタ３２２ａが左右方向に離間して設けられると共に、その後方端部下面に左右方向略全域に亘って上方に窪む段差部３２２ｃが形成され、当該段差部３２２ｃに２つの後輪キャスタ３２２ｂが左右方向に離間して設けられている。前輪キャスタ３２２ａは、後輪キャスタ３２２ｂより大径に形成され、その下方端部が後輪キャスタ３２２ｂより下方に位置するように設けられている。後輪キャスタ３２２ｂは、筐体２０の底壁部２８上面に走行可能に当接している。 The pedestal portion 32 is provided with two front wheel casters 322a separated from each other in the left-right direction on the lower surface of the front end portion, and a step portion 322c recessed upward over substantially the entire area in the left-right direction is formed on the lower surface of the rear end portion thereof. , Two rear wheel casters 322b are provided on the step portion 322c so as to be separated from each other in the left-right direction. The front wheel caster 322a is formed to have a diameter larger than that of the rear wheel caster 322b, and is provided so that its lower end is located below the rear wheel caster 322b. The rear wheel caster 322b is in contact with the upper surface of the bottom wall portion 28 of the housing 20 so as to be able to travel.

台座部３２における前輪キャスタ３２２ａ後方には、左右方向に延在すると共に、前方から後方に向かうにつれて下方に傾斜する傾斜面３２３が形成されている。傾斜面３２３は可動載置部３が乾燥空間Ｄに収容された状態において、後述する支持キャスタ２８５が当接する位置に、傾斜面３２３の前方端部が位置している。この傾斜面３２３が形成されることにより、台座部３２はその前方端部及び後方端部と比較して開口部３２１ｂ近傍の領域、具体的には傾斜面３２３の後方端部から段差部３２２ｃの前方端部にかけて下方に僅かに突出した形状となっている。 Behind the front wheel caster 322a in the pedestal portion 32, an inclined surface 323 that extends in the left-right direction and inclines downward from the front to the rear is formed. The front end of the inclined surface 323 is located at a position where the support caster 285, which will be described later, comes into contact with the inclined surface 323 in a state where the movable mounting portion 3 is housed in the dry space D. By forming the inclined surface 323, the pedestal portion 32 has a region near the opening 321b as compared with the front end portion and the rear end portion thereof, specifically, a step portion 322c from the rear end portion of the inclined surface 323. It has a shape that slightly protrudes downward toward the front end.

図１１及び図１２に示すように、後輪キャスタ３２２ｂの走行面を形成する筐体２０の底壁部２８にも同様に傾斜面２８３が形成されている。傾斜面２８３は、台座部３２の傾斜面３２３と同一の傾斜角度、傾斜方向、及び傾斜長さを有しており、可動載置部３が乾燥空間Ｄに収容された状態において、後輪キャスタ３２２ｂが当接する位置に、傾斜面２８３の後方端部が位置するように形成されている。したがって底壁部２８は、傾斜面３２３より前方の領域が上方に僅かに突出した形状となっている。可動載置部３が乾燥空間Ｄに収容された状態において、当該領域と開口部３２１ｂ近傍の領域との間に僅かな間隙が形成されるよう、傾斜面２８３及び傾斜面３２３の高さを設定することが好ましい。 As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, an inclined surface 283 is also formed on the bottom wall portion 28 of the housing 20 forming the traveling surface of the rear wheel caster 322b. The inclined surface 283 has the same inclination angle, inclination direction, and inclination length as the inclined surface 323 of the pedestal portion 32, and the rear wheel caster is in a state where the movable mounting portion 3 is housed in the dry space D. The rear end portion of the inclined surface 283 is formed so as to be located at a position where the 322b abuts. Therefore, the bottom wall portion 28 has a shape in which the region in front of the inclined surface 323 slightly protrudes upward. The heights of the inclined surface 283 and the inclined surface 323 are set so that a slight gap is formed between the region and the region near the opening 321b when the movable mounting portion 3 is housed in the dry space D. It is preferable to do so.

さらに底壁部２８の前方端部には、下方が開放された断面略コ字状のキャスタ台２８４が設けられており、その上面には台座部３２の下面に走行可能に当接する２つの支持キャスタ２８５が左右方向に離間して設けられている。支持キャスタ２８５は、可動載置部３が乾燥空間Ｄに収容された状態において、傾斜面３２３の前方端部に位置して台座部３２に当接しこれを支持している。可動載置部３が乾燥空間Ｄに収容された状態において、この支持キャスタ２８５により可動載置部３の前方側が支持されるため、本実施形態においては前輪キャスタ３２２ａを乾燥機１の設置面から僅かに離間させている。キャスタ台２８４には台座部３２の前輪キャスタ３２２ａに接触しないよう、該当する位置に切欠き２８６が形成されている。 Further, at the front end portion of the bottom wall portion 28, a caster base 284 having a substantially U-shaped cross section with an open lower portion is provided, and on the upper surface thereof, two supports that are in contact with the lower surface of the pedestal portion 32 so as to be travelable. Casters 285 are provided so as to be separated from each other in the left-right direction. The support caster 285 is located at the front end of the inclined surface 323 in a state where the movable mounting portion 3 is housed in the dry space D, and abuts on the pedestal portion 32 to support the movable mounting portion 3. In a state where the movable mounting portion 3 is housed in the drying space D, the front side of the movable mounting portion 3 is supported by the support caster 285. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the front wheel caster 322a is mounted from the installation surface of the dryer 1. It is slightly separated. The caster base 284 is formed with a notch 286 at a corresponding position so as not to come into contact with the front wheel caster 322a of the pedestal portion 32.

このように台座部３２の後輪キャスタ３２２ｂに対応して傾斜面２８３が底壁部２８に形成され、底壁部２８の支持キャスタ２８５に対応して傾斜面３２３が台座部３２に形成されることにより、可動載置部３を乾燥空間Ｄから引き出す際に各キャスタが対向する傾斜面を同時に走行する。これにより、台座部３２と底壁部２８との平行性を保ったまま傾斜面の高さ分、台座部３２を底壁部２８から離間するように上方へ移動させることができると共に、安定した水平移動をすることができる。また、後輪キャスタ３２２ｂと支持キャスタ２８５とは左右方向において同位置に配設されている。したがって支持キャスタ２８５により後輪キャスタ３２２ｂの前方移動が規制されるため、使用者が可動載置部３を前方に移動させた際に、可動載置部３全体が乾燥空間Ｄから抜け出てしまうことを防止することができる。 In this way, the inclined surface 283 is formed on the bottom wall portion 28 corresponding to the rear wheel casters 322b of the pedestal portion 32, and the inclined surface 323 is formed on the pedestal portion 32 corresponding to the support casters 285 of the bottom wall portion 28. As a result, when the movable mounting portion 3 is pulled out from the drying space D, the casters travel on the inclined surfaces facing each other at the same time. As a result, the pedestal portion 32 can be moved upward by the height of the inclined surface while maintaining the parallelism between the pedestal portion 32 and the bottom wall portion 28, and is stable. Can move horizontally. Further, the rear wheel casters 322b and the support casters 285 are arranged at the same positions in the left-right direction. Therefore, since the support caster 285 regulates the forward movement of the rear wheel caster 322b, when the user moves the movable mounting portion 3 forward, the entire movable mounting portion 3 comes out of the dry space D. Can be prevented.

さらに、図１１及び図１２に示すように、底壁部２８は内部に下方排気流路２８１が画成されており、その上面に下方排気流路２８１と内部空間Ｔとを接続するための開口部２８２と、当該開口部２８２後方に位置して後述する垂直流路２７１と下方排気流路２８１とを流体的に接続するための開口部２８７とが形成されている。開口部２８２は、可動載置部３が乾燥空間Ｄに収容された状態において、台座部３２の開口部３２１ｂと対向する位置に且つ略同一形状に形成されている。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the bottom wall portion 28 has a lower exhaust flow path 281 defined inside, and an opening for connecting the lower exhaust flow path 281 and the internal space T on the upper surface thereof. A portion 282 and an opening 287 located behind the opening 282 for fluidly connecting the vertical flow path 271 and the lower exhaust flow path 281 described later are formed. The opening 282 is formed at a position facing the opening 321b of the pedestal portion 32 and having substantially the same shape in a state where the movable mounting portion 3 is housed in the drying space D.

開口部２８２の周縁部には、シール部材２８８が設けられており、可動載置部３が乾燥空間Ｄに収容された場合に台座部３２の開口部３２１ｂ周縁部がシール部材２８８に当接し、当該開口部２８２と台座部３２の開口部３２１ｂとをシール部材２８８を介して気密に接続することができる。シール部材２８８は、底壁部２８上にネジ等に締結具や接着剤等により移動不能に固定されており、対向する開口部間を気密に接続可能であればどのようなものを用いてもよい。例えば、フェルトや弾性部材等をシール部材２８８として用いることができる。なお、シール部材２８８は、開口部３２１ｂの周縁部に設けるようにしてもよい。 A seal member 288 is provided on the peripheral edge of the opening 282, and when the movable mounting portion 3 is housed in the drying space D, the peripheral edge of the opening 321b of the pedestal 32 comes into contact with the seal member 288. The opening 282 and the opening 321b of the pedestal 32 can be airtightly connected via the seal member 288. The seal member 288 is immovably fixed to a screw or the like on the bottom wall portion 28 by fasteners, adhesives, or the like, and any material can be used as long as it can airtightly connect between the opposing openings. Good. For example, felt, an elastic member, or the like can be used as the seal member 288. The seal member 288 may be provided on the peripheral edge of the opening 321b.

以上のように可動載置部３は、後輪キャスタ３２２ｂが筐体２０の底壁部２８に当接し、支持キャスタ２８５により支持されることにより、筐体２０に対して前後方向に相対移動して乾燥空間Ｄに対する収容及び引き出しが可能となっている。さらに可動載置部３は乾燥空間Ｄに収容された際に下方に相対移動することができ、開口部３２１ｂと開口部２８２とを気密に接続できる。 As described above, the movable mounting portion 3 moves relative to the housing 20 in the front-rear direction when the rear wheel caster 322b abuts on the bottom wall portion 28 of the housing 20 and is supported by the support casters 285. It is possible to store and withdraw from the dry space D. Further, the movable mounting portion 3 can move downward relative to each other when housed in the dry space D, and the opening 321b and the opening 282 can be airtightly connected to each other.

なお、可動載置部３は、乾燥空間Ｄから引き出されるにつれ、後輪キャスタ３２２ｂが支持キャスタ２８５へ接近して前方側が下方に傾斜することとなる。しかしながら、当該傾斜により前輪キャスタ３２２ａが設置面に接地することとなり、後輪キャスタ３２２ｂが常時筐体２０の底壁部２８に接地しているため、可動載置部３をある程度引き出したとしても可動載置部３を安定して走行させることができる。以上に説明した、台座部３２及び底壁部２８の構成による効果についての詳細は後述する。 As the movable mounting portion 3 is pulled out from the drying space D, the rear wheel caster 322b approaches the support caster 285 and the front side is inclined downward. However, due to the inclination, the front wheel caster 322a is in contact with the installation surface, and the rear wheel caster 322b is always in contact with the bottom wall portion 28 of the housing 20, so that the movable mounting portion 3 can be moved even if it is pulled out to some extent. The mounting portion 3 can be stably run. Details of the effects of the configurations of the pedestal portion 32 and the bottom wall portion 28 described above will be described later.

押圧帯３３は、載置台３１の前後方向両端部に設けられる可撓性を有する長尺の帯状部材であり、それぞれ布団Ｆの短手方向端部を載置台３１の載置面に押圧する。押圧帯３３は、載置台３１の左右方向一方の側面（図９中左側）から載置台３１の上端曲面を経由して他方の側面（図９中右側）に亘って延在し、その長手方向一端部は、載置台３１の一方の側面に固定的に連結されている。一方、押圧帯３３の長手方向他端部には、載置台３１の他方の側面に設けられた連結装置３１３に対して着脱自在に連結可能な連結部材３３１が設けられている。 The pressing band 33 is a long strip-shaped member having flexibility provided at both ends in the front-rear direction of the mounting table 31, and each presses the lateral end portion of the futon F against the mounting surface of the mounting table 31. The pressing band 33 extends from one side surface (left side in FIG. 9) of the mounting table 31 in the left-right direction to the other side surface (right side in FIG. 9) via the upper end curved surface of the mounting table 31 and extends in the longitudinal direction thereof. One end is fixedly connected to one side surface of the mounting table 31. On the other hand, at the other end of the pressing band 33 in the longitudinal direction, a connecting member 331 that can be detachably connected to the connecting device 313 provided on the other side surface of the mounting table 31 is provided.

このような連結装置３１３と連結部材３３１とを用いた連結機構としては、シートベルト等に用いられているバックル装置とタングとを用いたものが挙げられる。タングは孔部や切欠き等が形成された平板部材であり、これをバックル装置に設けられた挿入口に挿入することでバックル装置内でタングを係止することができる。一方、バックル装置の解除ボタンを押下することでタングの係止を解除することができる。その他、フックを用いて互いを係止するものや、面ファスナーを用いるなどしてもよく、着脱自在な連結機構であればどのようなものを用いてもよい。 Examples of the connecting mechanism using such a connecting device 313 and the connecting member 331 include a buckle device and a tongue used for a seat belt or the like. The tongue is a flat plate member in which a hole, a notch, or the like is formed, and the tongue can be locked in the buckle device by inserting the tongue into an insertion port provided in the buckle device. On the other hand, the lock of the tongue can be released by pressing the release button of the buckle device. In addition, a hook may be used to lock each other, a hook-and-loop fastener may be used, or any detachable connecting mechanism may be used.

また、押圧帯３３は、その一部に長手方向に伸縮自在な伸縮部３３２が形成されている。図９及び図１０に示すように、載置された布団Ｆの短手方向端部を押圧する場合、その短手方向端部上に押圧帯３３を這わせることとなるため、布団Ｆの厚みに応じて押圧帯３３が載置面から離間し、連結部材３３１と連結装置３１３とが離間する。しかしながら当該離間距離分、伸縮部３３２が伸長することにより連結部材３３１と連結装置３１３とを連結することができる。さらに伸縮部３３２は、伸長した状態において連結部材３３１と連結装置３１３とが連結することにより、常時復元力が生じるため、当該復元力により押圧帯３３が一様に布団Ｆを載置面側に押圧することができる。このような伸縮部３３２は、コイルバネやゴム体等の弾性を有する部材であることが好ましく、押圧帯３３全体を伸縮部３３２としてもよい。 Further, the pressing band 33 is formed with an elastic portion 332 that can be expanded and contracted in the longitudinal direction in a part thereof. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, when the lateral end of the placed futon F is pressed, the pressing band 33 crawls on the lateral end, so that the thickness of the futon F is thick. The pressing band 33 is separated from the mounting surface, and the connecting member 331 and the connecting device 313 are separated from each other. However, the connecting member 331 and the connecting device 313 can be connected by extending the expansion / contraction portion 332 by the distance. Further, in the telescopic portion 332, the connecting member 331 and the connecting device 313 are connected to each other in the extended state, so that a constant restoring force is generated. Therefore, the pressing band 33 uniformly puts the futon F on the mounting surface side by the restoring force. Can be pressed. Such an expansion / contraction portion 332 is preferably a member having elasticity such as a coil spring or a rubber body, and the entire pressing band 33 may be the expansion / contraction portion 332.

また、図１３に示すように、押圧帯３３は伸縮部３３２を含めて一様に通気孔群３３３が穿設されており、押圧帯３３に当接する布団Ｆの通気を可能としている。なお、図１３においては通気孔群３３３が円形の孔部に形成されて孔部間に大きな間隔が形成されているが、押圧帯３３を細かな孔が形成されたメッシュ部材で構成するようにしてもよい。 Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the pressing band 33 is uniformly provided with the ventilation hole group 333 including the expansion / contraction portion 332, and the futon F in contact with the pressing band 33 can be ventilated. In FIG. 13, the ventilation hole group 333 is formed in a circular hole portion to form a large space between the holes, but the pressing band 33 is made of a mesh member in which fine holes are formed. You may.

（乾燥機における流路及び動作）
乾燥機における流路について図１１、図１４、及び図１５を用いて説明する。図１４、図１５は、それぞれ、図１１のＢ−Ｂ線断面図、Ｃ−Ｃ線断面図である。なお、説明上、図１１においては切断面より左右方向に異なる位置に配設された接続パイプ２５３，２５４、及び接続パイプ２３１の一部が一点鎖線により仮想的に示されている。同様に、図１４においては切断面より上方に位置する接続パイプ２５３，２３１が一点鎖線により仮想的に示されており、図１５においては切断面より上方に位置する接続パイプ２５４が一点鎖線により仮想的に示されている。また、これらの各図に示す点線状の矢印は、空気の流動方向を示している。 (Flowers and operations in the dryer)
The flow path in the dryer will be described with reference to FIGS. 11, 14, and 15. 14 and 15 are a sectional view taken along line BB and a sectional view taken along line CC of FIG. 11, respectively. For the sake of explanation, in FIG. 11, the connecting pipes 253, 254 and a part of the connecting pipes 231 arranged at different positions in the left-right direction from the cut surface are virtually shown by the alternate long and short dash lines. Similarly, in FIG. 14, the connecting pipes 253 and 231 located above the cut surface are virtually shown by the alternate long and short dash line, and in FIG. 15, the connecting pipe 254 located above the cut surface is virtualized by the alternate long and short dash line. Is shown. Further, the dotted arrows shown in each of these figures indicate the flow direction of air.

図１１に示すように、筐体２０の上方壁部２５の上方には、２枚の水平に延在して互いに平行な平板部２５ａ，２５ｂが設けられており、最上方に位置する平板部２５ｂ上に、ガスヒータ２１、排気ファン２２及び霧生成部２３がそれぞれ載置されている。当該平板部２５ｂの下方に位置する平板部２５ａを境に、２つの空間が上下方向に分割して画成されており、平板部２５ａと上方壁部２５との間に画成される空間が吸気流路２５１として用いられ、平板部２５ａと平板部２５ｂとの間に画成される空間が上方排気流路２５２として用いられる。上方排気流路２５２は、吸気流路２５１より僅かに後方に延在して垂直流路２７１と流体的に接続している。なお、平板部２５ａを境に吸気流路２５１と上方排気流路２５２とが上下に形成されるため、平板部２５ａは断熱部材により構成されることが好ましい。 As shown in FIG. 11, two horizontally extending flat plate portions 25a and 25b are provided above the upper wall portion 25 of the housing 20, and the flat plate portions 25a and 25b located at the uppermost position are provided. A gas heater 21, an exhaust fan 22, and a fog generating unit 23 are mounted on 25b, respectively. The two spaces are divided in the vertical direction and defined with the flat plate portion 25a located below the flat plate portion 25b as a boundary, and the space defined between the flat plate portion 25a and the upper wall portion 25 is defined. It is used as the intake flow path 251 and the space defined between the flat plate portion 25a and the flat plate portion 25b is used as the upper exhaust flow path 252. The upper exhaust flow path 252 extends slightly rearward of the intake flow path 251 and is fluidly connected to the vertical flow path 271. Since the intake flow path 251 and the upper exhaust flow path 252 are formed vertically with the flat plate portion 25a as a boundary, the flat plate portion 25a is preferably formed of a heat insulating member.

垂直流路２７１は、後方壁部２７と、この後方壁部２７に平行な且つ前方に位置する平板部２７ａとの間隙であり、上方から見て左右方向に長尺な矩形断面が上下方向に延在する空間として形成される。垂直流路２７１は、上方排気流路２５２と下方排気流路２８１とに流体的に接続されており、これらが一体となって１つの排気流路を形成している。 The vertical flow path 271 is a gap between the rear wall portion 27 and the flat plate portion 27a parallel to the rear wall portion 27 and located in the front, and a rectangular cross section elongated in the left-right direction when viewed from above is formed in the vertical direction. It is formed as an extending space. The vertical flow path 271 is fluidly connected to the upper exhaust flow path 252 and the lower exhaust flow path 281, and these are integrated to form one exhaust flow path.

図１１、図１４、及び図１５に示すように、吸気流路２５１には接続パイプ２５３が連結され、上方排気流路２５２には接続パイプ２５４が連結されている。接続パイプ２５３は、ガスヒータ２１に対応して形成され、吸気流路２５１と流体的に接続されることでガスヒータ２１に加熱された空気を吸気流路２５１に吸気可能となっている。接続パイプ２３１は、その一端が霧生成部２３の貯液槽に接続されるとともに、その他端が接続パイプ２５３に連結され、霧生成部２３が生成した霧を接続パイプ２５３を介して吸気流路２５１に供給することができる。接続パイプ２５４は、排気ファン２２に対応して形成され、上方排気流路２５２と流体的に接続されることで排気ファン２２により上方排気流路２５２の空気を排出可能となっている。 As shown in FIGS. 11, 14, and 15, a connecting pipe 253 is connected to the intake flow path 251 and a connecting pipe 254 is connected to the upper exhaust flow path 252. The connection pipe 253 is formed corresponding to the gas heater 21, and is fluidly connected to the intake flow path 251 so that the air heated by the gas heater 21 can be taken into the intake flow path 251. One end of the connection pipe 231 is connected to the liquid storage tank of the mist generation unit 23, and the other end is connected to the connection pipe 253, and the mist generated by the mist generation unit 23 is connected to the intake flow path via the connection pipe 253. It can be supplied to 251. The connection pipe 254 is formed corresponding to the exhaust fan 22, and is fluidly connected to the upper exhaust flow path 252 so that the air in the upper exhaust flow path 252 can be discharged by the exhaust fan 22.

また、上方壁部２５には、吸気流路２５１と乾燥空間Ｄとを連通し、ガスヒータ２１により加熱された空気を乾燥空間Ｄに流入させる通気孔としての流入孔群２５５が形成される。この流入孔群２５５は複数のパンチング孔であり、乾燥空間Ｄの左右方向全域及び前後方向においての所定範囲に亘って形成される。ここでの所定範囲とは、吸気流路２５１の下方領域の略全域であり、より具体的には載置台３１の前後方向後方端部上方から、吸気流路２５１の前後方向前方端部までの範囲である。 Further, the upper wall portion 25 is formed with an inflow hole group 255 as a ventilation hole that communicates the intake flow path 251 and the drying space D and allows the air heated by the gas heater 21 to flow into the drying space D. The inflow hole group 255 is a plurality of punching holes, and is formed over a predetermined range in the entire left-right direction and the front-rear direction of the dry space D. The predetermined range here is substantially the entire area below the intake flow path 251, and more specifically, from above the rear end portion in the front-rear direction of the mounting table 31 to the front end portion in the front-rear direction of the intake flow path 251. The range.

次に、乾燥機１の使用方法について説明する。先ず、乾燥空間Ｄから可動載置部３を引き出し、その載置面に布団Ｆを載置した後、扉部２９を閉状態にできるように可動載置部３を所定距離、前後方向後方に移動させる。当該移動により、後輪キャスタ３２２ｂ及び支持キャスタ２８５がそれぞれ対応する傾斜面を含む対向面を走行し、台座部３２の開口部３２１ｂと、底壁部２８の開口部２８２とが接近してシール部材２８８を介してこれら開口部が接続される。この状態において扉部２９を閉状態にでき可動載置部３を乾燥空間Ｄに完全に収容することができる。可動載置部３が乾燥空間Ｄに完全に収容されると、可動載置部３の内部空間Ｐ，Ｔと下方排気流路２８１とが流体的に接続され、よって内部空間Ｐ，Ｔと上方排気流路２５２とが流体的に接続されることとなる。 Next, a method of using the dryer 1 will be described. First, the movable mounting portion 3 is pulled out from the drying space D, the futon F is placed on the mounting surface thereof, and then the movable mounting portion 3 is moved rearward by a predetermined distance so that the door portion 29 can be closed. Move. As a result of this movement, the rear wheel casters 322b and the support casters 285 travel on opposite surfaces including the corresponding inclined surfaces, and the opening 321b of the pedestal portion 32 and the opening 282 of the bottom wall portion 28 come close to each other and the seal member. These openings are connected via 288. In this state, the door portion 29 can be closed and the movable mounting portion 3 can be completely accommodated in the drying space D. When the movable mounting portion 3 is completely accommodated in the drying space D, the internal spaces P and T of the movable mounting portion 3 and the lower exhaust flow path 281 are fluidly connected, and thus the internal spaces P and T and the upper side are connected. The exhaust flow path 252 is fluidly connected.

可動載置部３を乾燥空間Ｄに収容した後、使用者が制御部２４を制御し、排気ファン２２が動作されると、上方排気流路２５２内の空気が外部に排出されることにより、垂直流路２７１及び下方排気流路２８１を介して、可動載置部３内の内部空間Ｐ，Ｔが負圧となる。内部空間Ｐ，Ｔが負圧となると、載置台３１の両側面に設けられたパンチング孔群３１１を介して乾燥空間Ｄ内の空気が布団Ｆを通過して可動載置部３内に吸気される。これに応じて乾燥空間Ｄ内が負圧となり、流入孔群２５５により乾燥空間Ｄと連通された吸気流路２５１を介して、ガスヒータ２１を通過する乾燥機１外部の空気が乾燥空間Ｄ内に吸気される。 After the movable mounting unit 3 is housed in the drying space D, when the user controls the control unit 24 and the exhaust fan 22 is operated, the air in the upper exhaust flow path 252 is discharged to the outside, thereby causing the air in the upper exhaust flow path 252 to be discharged to the outside. The internal spaces P and T in the movable mounting portion 3 become negative pressure via the vertical flow path 271 and the lower exhaust flow path 281. When the internal spaces P and T become negative pressure, the air in the dry space D passes through the futon F and is sucked into the movable mounting portion 3 through the punching hole groups 311 provided on both side surfaces of the mounting table 31. To. In response to this, the inside of the drying space D becomes negative pressure, and the air outside the dryer 1 passing through the gas heater 21 passes into the drying space D through the intake flow path 251 communicated with the drying space D by the inflow hole group 255. Inhaled.

乾燥空間Ｄ内に空気が流入する状態において、ガスヒータ２１が動作している場合、ガスヒータ２１により加熱された空気が熱風として乾燥空間Ｄ内に流入することとなり、この熱風が可動載置部３に載置された布団Ｆを通過して可動載置部３内へ流入した後に乾燥機１の外部へ排出されることによって、布団Ｆの乾燥が行われる。 When the gas heater 21 is operating in a state where air flows into the drying space D, the air heated by the gas heater 21 flows into the drying space D as hot air, and this hot air flows into the movable mounting portion 3. The futon F is dried by passing through the placed futon F, flowing into the movable mounting portion 3, and then being discharged to the outside of the dryer 1.

乾燥空間Ｄ内に空気が流入する状態において、霧生成部２３が動作している場合、霧生成部２３により生成された霧を含んだ空気が接続パイプ２５３及び吸気流路２５１を介して乾燥空間Ｄ内に流入することとなり、この霧を含んだ空気が布団Ｆを通過することによって、消臭剤、除菌剤、防ダニ剤などの薬剤を布団Ｆの内部まで浸透させることができるとともに、薬剤の散布を自動化することができる。 When the fog generation unit 23 is operating in a state where air flows into the dry space D, the air containing the fog generated by the fog generation unit 23 passes through the connecting pipe 253 and the intake flow path 251 in the dry space. It will flow into D, and the air containing the mist will pass through the futon F, so that chemicals such as deodorants, disinfectants, and anti-tick agents can permeate into the futon F, and at the same time. The application of the drug can be automated.

可動載置部の座部と筐体の底壁部の構成により得られる効果について説明する。 (Effect of the configuration of the pedestal and bottom wall)
The effect obtained by the configuration of the seat portion of the movable mounting portion and the bottom wall portion of the housing will be described.

以上に説明した本実施形態によれば、台座部３２及び底壁部２８にそれぞれキャスタを設け、当該キャスタに対応する傾斜面を形成することにより、可動載置部３を収容する際、可動載置部３の略水平移動と共に可動載置部３を底壁部２８に対して下方に相対移動させることができる。このような下方への相対移動を実現することにより、可動載置部３を下方に相対移動することにより、開口部３２１ｂと開口部２８２とを気密に接続できる。また、底壁部２８の開口２８２の周縁に設けられたシール部材２８８と台座部３２との接触を、開口３２１ｂと開口２８２との接続直前まで回避し、接触した後の摺動距離を短縮、例えば傾斜面２８３，３２３の前後方向長さ程度に収めることが可能となる。このような下方への相対移動を行わずに水平移動のみをさせる形態では、シール部材２８８が常に台座部の下面に当接し、可動載置部をシール部材２８８に対して摺動させることとなるため、可動載置部の走行性を著しく損なうこととなる。一方で、本実施形態においてはそのような走行性の損失を回避することが可能となる。また、可動載置部３が乾燥空間Ｄに収容された場合に台座部３２の開口部３２１ｂ周縁部がシール部材２８８に当接する構造であるので、シール部材２８８に与える負荷をも軽減することができ、軽い力で載置台を筐体から出し入れできる。さらに、シール部材２８８は底壁部２８の開口２８２の周縁に設けられ、台座部３２の開口３２１ｂとの間をシールする構成であるので、シールする箇所を少なくすることができる。 According to the present embodiment described above, casters are provided on the pedestal portion 32 and the bottom wall portion 28, respectively, and by forming an inclined surface corresponding to the casters, the movable mounting portion 3 is movablely mounted when it is accommodated. The movable mounting portion 3 can be relatively moved downward with respect to the bottom wall portion 28 along with the substantially horizontal movement of the placing portion 3. By realizing such a downward relative movement, the movable mounting portion 3 can be relatively moved downward, so that the opening 321b and the opening 282 can be airtightly connected. Further, contact between the seal member 288 provided on the peripheral edge of the opening 282 of the bottom wall portion 28 and the pedestal portion 32 is avoided until just before the connection between the opening 321b and the opening 282, and the sliding distance after the contact is shortened. For example, the length of the inclined surfaces 283 and 323 in the front-rear direction can be accommodated. In such a form in which only horizontal movement is performed without relative downward movement, the seal member 288 always abuts on the lower surface of the pedestal portion, and the movable mounting portion is slid with respect to the seal member 288. Therefore, the runnability of the movable mounting portion is significantly impaired. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, it is possible to avoid such a loss of runnability. Further, since the movable mounting portion 3 has a structure in which the peripheral portion of the opening 321b of the pedestal portion 32 comes into contact with the seal member 288 when the movable mounting portion 3 is housed in the dry space D, the load applied to the seal member 288 can be reduced. The mounting table can be taken in and out of the housing with a light force. Further, since the seal member 288 is provided on the peripheral edge of the opening 282 of the bottom wall portion 28 and seals between the seal member 288 and the opening 321b of the pedestal portion 32, the number of places to be sealed can be reduced.

また、台座部３２の前輪キャスタ３２２ａは、可動載置部３がある程度まで乾燥空間Ｄから引き出された後に乾燥機１の設置面に接地する。そのため、表面に凹凸や塵埃を有する可能性が高い乾燥機１の設置面を走行する距離を短縮することができ、設置面を常に走行する形態と比較して、走行性の向上を実現できる。さらに、可動載置部が設置面を常に走行する形態では、前輪キャスタに塵埃が付着する可能性が高く、これが故障の原因となり得るが、本実施形態によれば塵埃の付着を低減することができる。
また、台座部３２の後輪キャスタ３２２ｂに対応して傾斜面２８３が底壁部２８に形成され、底壁部２８の支持キャスタ２８５に対応して傾斜面３２３が台座部３２に形成されることにより、可動載置部３を乾燥空間Ｄから引き出す際に各キャスタが対向する傾斜面を同時に走行する。これにより、台座部３２と底壁部２８との平行性を保ったまま傾斜面の高さ分、台座部３２を底壁部２８から離間するように上方へ移動させることができると共に、安定した水平移動をすることができる。
また、支持キャスタ２８５により後輪キャスタ３２２ｂの前方移動が規制されるため、使用者が可動載置部３を前方に移動させた際に、可動載置部３全体が乾燥空間Ｄから抜け出てしまうことを防止することができる。 Further, the front wheel caster 322a of the pedestal portion 32 comes into contact with the installation surface of the dryer 1 after the movable mounting portion 3 is pulled out from the drying space D to some extent. Therefore, the distance traveled on the installation surface of the dryer 1 which is likely to have irregularities and dust on the surface can be shortened, and the travelability can be improved as compared with the form in which the dryer 1 always travels on the installation surface. Further, in the form in which the movable mounting portion always travels on the installation surface, there is a high possibility that dust adheres to the front wheel casters, which may cause a failure. However, according to the present embodiment, the adhesion of dust can be reduced. it can.
Further, an inclined surface 283 is formed on the bottom wall portion 28 corresponding to the rear wheel caster 322b of the pedestal portion 32, and an inclined surface 323 is formed on the pedestal portion 32 corresponding to the support caster 285 of the bottom wall portion 28. As a result, when the movable mounting portion 3 is pulled out from the drying space D, the casters travel on the inclined surfaces facing each other at the same time. As a result, the pedestal portion 32 can be moved upward by the height of the inclined surface while maintaining the parallelism between the pedestal portion 32 and the bottom wall portion 28, and is stable. Can move horizontally.
Further, since the support caster 285 regulates the forward movement of the rear wheel caster 322b, when the user moves the movable mounting portion 3 forward, the entire movable mounting portion 3 comes out of the dry space D. Can be prevented.

本実施形態においては、乾燥の対象を布団Ｆとして説明したがこれに限定されるものではなく、カーペット、ラグ、マットレスなど繊維素材がマット状に形成された他のマット状部材を載置して乾燥するようにしてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the object of drying has been described as the futon F, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other mat-like members such as carpets, rugs, and mattresses in which the fiber material is formed in a mat-like shape are placed. It may be dried.

また、パンチング孔群３１１や流入孔群２５５は円状の孔であると説明したが、角形の孔であってもよく、載置面や上方壁部２５が網状に形成されてその網開口がパンチング孔群３１１や流入孔群２５５に相当するようにしてもよい。 Further, although it has been explained that the punching hole group 311 and the inflow hole group 255 are circular holes, they may be rectangular holes, and the mounting surface and the upper wall portion 25 are formed in a net shape, and the net opening is formed. It may correspond to the punching hole group 311 and the inflow hole group 255.

また、ガスヒータ２１と排気ファン２２との位置を交換して配設し、流路を逆にしてもよい。この場合、載置台３１から加熱された空気が布団Ｆに流入し、これを通過した空気が流入孔群２５５に流入することとなる。 Further, the positions of the gas heater 21 and the exhaust fan 22 may be exchanged and arranged, and the flow path may be reversed. In this case, the air heated from the mounting table 31 flows into the futon F, and the air that has passed through the futon F flows into the inflow hole group 255.

また、可動載置部３の乾燥空間Ｄへの収容時にこれを下方に移動させることを実現するのみの観点でいえば、傾斜面２８３及び傾斜面３２３のいずれか一方を排するようにしてもよく、支持キャスタ２８５を排して前輪キャスタ３２２ａを可動載置部３が乾燥空間Ｄに収容された状態においても設置面に当接させ続けるようにしてもよい。 Further, from the viewpoint of only realizing that the movable mounting portion 3 is moved downward when it is accommodated in the dry space D, either the inclined surface 283 or the inclined surface 323 may be eliminated. It is also possible to remove the support caster 285 and keep the front wheel caster 322a in contact with the installation surface even when the movable mounting portion 3 is housed in the dry space D.
