Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Field of Invention]

 The present invention relates to an air mat to be attached to a dryer, and more particularly to an air mat to be attached to a futon dryer so that futon, clothes, etc. can be dried with warm air.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, a futon dryer is composed of a hot air generating means composed of a heater (electric heat) and a fan, and a bag-shaped air mat for introducing the hot air to dry the futon and the like. Many proposals have already been made for the configuration. For example, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-79492, warm air from a warm air generator is introduced into a drying bag through a hot air outlet connection part, and an opening for inserting an object to be dried is formed in the drying bag. A technique has been disclosed in which the opening is freely opened and closed.

By supplying hot air to such a drying bag, it is possible to dry the material to be dried contained therein, but there are the following problems. The warm air that has flowed into the drying bag from the hot air outlet connection part collides with the material to be dried, such as a futon, which is stored in the drying bag in a substantially full state, and is blocked by the futon toward the back. It is difficult to reach quickly and sufficiently, and it is difficult to efficiently dry the deep part of the futon far from the hot air outlet connection.

[0004] Since the hot air flows inward from the hot air outlet connecting portion located at one end of the drying bag while receiving the resistance of the futon, most of the heat is taken away near the entrance to the deep portion. It is difficult for warm air of sufficient temperature to reach. Also, since the futon stored in the dry bag does not necessarily match the size of the dry bag, part of the warm air that has flowed in from the hot air outlet connection is on the side of the futon with the least ingress resistance. Since it will pass through the gap between the parts, it is not possible to expect the supply of warm air between the bottom of the futon and the bottom of the dry bag that is in close contact with the bottom of the futon. The efficiency of drying the bottom of the futon is very poor.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 One means for solving the problems of the prior art is to use a hot air generator having a high output as much as possible. However, a high-performance hot air generator is expensive in itself and is expensive to operate. Also, even if a high amount of warm air can be generated, as described in the above section, it does not mean anything in the structure where most of the amount of heat is taken away by the futon near the hot air outlet connection. I will not do it.

In addition, a method of increasing the drying efficiency by increasing the number of hot air direct contact points with the futon by increasing the number of hot air outlet connection portions from one location in the past to two or a plurality of locations is also conceivable. However, if one hot air generator is used, it is necessary to equip the drying bag with a plurality of duct flow paths that can be branched and supplied from now on, which complicates the structure of the drying bag, resulting in high cost. It will be.

[0007] Even if such a plurality of inflow paths are formed, it does not solve the problem that it is difficult to obtain the drying action of the lower surface of the futon that overlaps the drying bag due to its own weight, as described above. Of.

In view of such a problem, the present invention can supply hot air evenly to the entire object to be dried such as a futon without particularly complicating the structure, and can perform drying efficiently. The purpose is to provide an air mat that can be mounted on a machine.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The air mat attached to the dryer of the present invention is provided with an air intake port 2 connected to the dryer 1 in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, and is filled with warm air introduced from the air intake port 2, and An air mat to be attached to a drier in which a bag-shaped mat main body 3 having a slight air permeability is formed, and an opening portion 5 with a fastener for inserting and removing the drying target object 4 is provided in the mat main body 3. The mat body 3 is divided into upper and lower two layers by the partition wall 6 to form an upper drying chamber 6a and a lower ventilation chamber 6b, and the partition wall 6 is more breathable than the mat body 3. The air intake 2 is connected to the lower ventilation chamber 6b.

In the present invention, it is preferable to provide a connecting means 7 for locally connecting the upper drying chamber 6a and the lower ventilation chamber 6b. In the present invention, the dryer 1 is known per se and has a structure in which warm air can be supplied by a heater and a fan. The air mat can be used not only to store the futon inside the mat body 3 and dry it, but also to sandwich the upper and lower sides of the mat to supply warm air to dry the futon. . Further, the connecting means 7 includes a suitable known locking means such as a combination of a hook, a pin, a button, a string and the like.

[0011]

[Embodiment of device]

 According to the present invention, the mat body 3 is vertically divided into two layers by the partition wall 6 to form the upper drying chamber 6a and the lower ventilation chamber 6b, and the partition wall 6 is defined from the mat body 3 by the partition wall 6. Is also configured to have high air permeability and the air intake port 2 is connected to the lower ventilation chamber 6b, so that the warm air flowing in from the air intake port 2 can be dried as in the conventional case. Without being obstructed by 4 (futon), it directly enters the lower ventilation chamber 6b to the back and fills the entire area, and then, first, a compartment with higher air permeability than the mat body 3 Through the wall 6, it flows into the upper drying chamber 6a.

[0012] As a result, the bottom of the drying object 4 which has been poor in drying efficiency due to its own weight being in close contact with the bottom of the drying bag can be well dried by ventilating the entire surface from the bottom side at the same time. The bottom of the drying object 4 that is in close contact with the partition wall 6 is in direct contact with the ventilation chamber 6b that is a warm air trap, so that even if the ventilation efficiency is poor, a sufficient amount of heat is always generated. When exposed, the drying efficiency will increase.

Further, since the object to be dried 4 is housed in the upper drying chamber 6a and there is no obstacle in the lower ventilation chamber 6b, the warm air flowing in from the air intake port 2 of the mat main body 3 Since it can flow all the way to the back at once, the hot air is blocked by the stored object to be dried and most of the heat is taken away near the entrance, reducing the overall drying efficiency. There is no such inconvenience.

Further, when the connecting means 7 for locally connecting the upper drying chamber 6a and the lower ventilation chamber 6b is provided, the expansion of the ventilation chamber 6b can be suppressed within a predetermined range, and as a result, When a particularly light drying object 4 (clothes or the like) is accommodated in the drying chamber 6a, the ventilation chamber 6b is expanded by the pressure of warm air, the drying object 4 is lifted, and the upper surface of the drying chamber 6a is partitioned. It is possible to avoid a situation where the wall 6 is in close contact with the hot air and the space for distributing the hot air is reduced, so that the drying efficiency is reduced.

[0015]

【Example】

 A preferred embodiment of the air mat attached to the dryer of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the air mat of this embodiment is sewn with a cloth made of chemical fiber and has an air intake port 2 connected to a dryer 1, and is filled with warm air introduced from the air intake port 2. In addition, a bag-shaped mat main body 3 having a slight air permeability is configured, and the mat main body 3 is provided with an opening portion 5 with a fastener for inserting and removing the object 4 to be dried. ing. In the figure, 9 indicates a magic tape.

As shown in FIG. 2, the mat body 3 is vertically divided into two layers by a partition wall 6 to form an upper drying chamber 6a and a lower ventilation chamber 6b. As a matter of course, the partition wall 6 is more breathable than the mat body 3 so that the warm air in the ventilation chamber 6b does not pass through the partition wall 6 but immediately passes through the mat body 3 and escapes to the outside. It is composed of a mesh that increases.

Then, the air intake port 2 is connected to the lower ventilation chamber 6b, whereby the hot air from the dryer 1 is accommodated in the drying object 4 which becomes ventilation resistance. By introducing not into the drying chamber 6a but into the ventilation chamber 6b having no ventilation resistance, the warm air can be smoothly sent to the back of the mat body 3. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 8 denotes another object to be dried, for example, a hanging cloth, which is placed on the outside of the mat body 3 and is dried by the warm air passing upward through the drying chamber 6a.

FIG. 3 shows another mode of use, in which connecting means 7 for locally connecting the upper drying chamber 6a and the lower ventilation chamber 6b, here, hooks are provided at two places. By this, the ventilation chamber 6b is partially partitioned in the vertical direction. By this connecting means 7, the partition wall 6 is fixed to the bottom wall of the mat body 3, and the partition wall 6 is extremely expanded by the pressure of the warm air to push up the drying chamber 6a. The object to be dried 4, especially light clothes, is lifted and pressed against the upper wall of the mat body 3 to eliminate the space in the drying chamber 6a and prevent the drying efficiency from being lowered. It should be noted that, instead of the hook, a button or an appropriate connecting means having an easily connectable structure may be used.

[0019]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, the warm air flowing in from the air intake enters the lower ventilation chamber and directly to the back without being blocked by the drying object (futon) as in the conventional case. After filling the entire ventilation chamber here, first of all, it flows into the upper drying chamber through the partition wall that is more breathable than the main body of the mat, and as a result, it adheres to the bottom of the drying bag due to its own weight until now and the drying efficiency is improved. The bottom of the object to be dried, which had a poor temperature distribution, can be satisfactorily dried by ventilating the entire surface from below, and at the same time, the bottom of the object to be dried that is in close contact with the partition wall is a hot air trap. By directly contacting the ventilation chamber, even if the ventilation efficiency is poor, it is exposed to warm air with a sufficient amount of heat at all times, which has the remarkable effect of increasing the drying efficiency.

In addition, since the object to be dried is accommodated in the upper drying chamber and there is no obstacle in the lower ventilation chamber, the warm air flowing in from the air intake port is directed toward the back of the mat body. Since the hot air is blocked by the stored drying object and most of the heat is taken away near the entrance, there is also the inconvenience that the overall drying efficiency is reduced. Instead, there is an advantage that the entire object to be dried can be uniformly dried.

Further, when the connecting means for locally connecting the upper drying chamber and the lower ventilation chamber is provided, expansion of the ventilation chamber due to warm air can be suppressed within a predetermined range, and as a result, drying When a particularly dry object (clothes, etc.) is stored in the room, the ventilation chamber expands due to the pressure of warm air, and the object to be dried is lifted, and the top surface of the drying room and the partition wall are in close contact with each other. It also has the advantage of avoiding the inconvenience of reducing the distribution space and improving the drying efficiency.
