Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an improvement of a hot air supply device for drying or heating a room.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, for example, an apparatus for drying clothes in a bathroom is shown in FIG.
[0003]
This device has a built-in hot air supply means 102 for supplying warm air into the bathroom to the apparatus main body 101 and a ventilation means (not shown) for ventilating the air in the bathroom. A decorative board 108 is installed in the space behind the ceiling through the opening 109 formed in the ceiling and conceals the opening 109.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-mentioned conventional one, the louver is not provided at the hot air discharge port 106 of the hot air supply means 102, and the warm air blowing louver 107 is provided integrally with the decorative plate 108. When performing maintenance / inspection of the equipment after removing the heater, there is a risk of burns due to the fingers touching the heater 104 disposed near the hot air discharge port 106, and work must be performed carefully. .
[0005]
In addition, when installing the decorative plate, the decorative plate is attached in the opposite direction and the blowing direction of the warm air changes, so the warm air does not hit the clothing and it takes time to dry the clothing, or sufficient heating is not possible There was a risk of causing.
[0006]
An object of the present invention is to provide a hot air supply device that solves the above-described problems and can perform maintenance and inspection work safely and reliably.
[0007]
[Means for solving the problems and their functions and effects]
The present invention includes an apparatus main body having at least a heating means and having hot air supply means for supplying warm air into the room, an opening for inserting the apparatus main body established on a ceiling or the like, and a decorative member for concealing the opening Provided with a hot air blowing louver opened at intervals where fingers cannot be inserted into the hot air discharge port provided in the hot air supply means, and the decorative member is opened at a position where the hot air blowing louver faces It is characterized by providing.
[0008]
Therefore, since the warm air outlet louvers that are open at intervals where fingers cannot be inserted are provided in the warm air outlet provided in the warm air supply means, the fingers are warm when removing the decorative member and performing maintenance, inspection, etc. There is no risk of getting burned by entering the wind outlet and touching the heating means, so that maintenance and inspection can be performed safely.
[0009]
Further, since the hot air blowing louver is provided separately from the decorative member, the direction of blowing hot air can be freely set, and the degree of freedom in design increases.
[0010]
In addition, since the warm air blowing louver is inserted into the opening of the decorative member, when the decorative member is attached, the decorative member is attached in the reverse direction to change the blowing direction of the warm air, and the clothing does not receive warm air. There is no fear that it takes a long time to dry, or that sufficient heating cannot be performed, and a reliable mounting operation can be performed.
[0011]
Further, since the warm air blowing louver is inserted into the opening of the decorative member so that the front end surface of the hot air blowing louver is substantially flush with the front end surface of the decorative member, the warm air blowing direction And the appearance is improved because there are no irregularities on the outer surface.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0013]
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a hot air supply device A according to the present invention, in which a device body 1 is installed in a ceiling space through a ceiling opening 11 of a bathroom B, and a decorative member 8 is provided so as to conceal the opening 11. It is attached to the apparatus main body 1.
[0014]
On one side of the apparatus main body 1, a circulation fan 3 connected to a circulation motor 2 and a heater 4 as a heating means are provided in a circulation fan case 5, and the temperature of the circulation fan case 5 is increased. A warm air blowing louver 7 is attached to the wind outlet 6 and is opened at intervals where fingers cannot be inserted. A ventilation fan 13 connected to a ventilation motor 12 is provided in the ventilation fan case 14 on the other side of the apparatus body 1.
[0015]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the decorative member 8 has an opening 9 and an air suction port 10, and the hot air blowing louver 7 is inserted into the opening 9. And it is preferable to arrange | position so that the front end surface 15 of the warm air blowing louver 7 may become substantially the same surface as the front end surface 16 of the decorative member 8.
[0016]
Instead of inserting the hot air blowing louver 7 into the opening 9, the opening 9 may be configured as a hot air blowing port in the form of the air suction port 10 of the decorative member 8 as shown in FIG.
[0017]
The warm air supply device A configured as described above sucks air in the bathroom B from the air suction port 10 of the decorative member 8 by the ventilation fan 13 that is rotationally driven by the ventilation motor 12, and exhaust duct (not shown). ), And a part of the air in the bathroom B is sucked in by the circulation fan 3 rotated by the circulation motor 2 and passes through the heater 4 provided in the circulation fan case 5. The warm air is blown into the bathroom B from the hot air blowing louver 7 and the clothes (not shown) suspended from a laundry pipe (not shown) provided in the bathroom B are Dry or heat the bathroom B.
[0018]
With the above configuration, when removing the decorative member 8 from the apparatus main body 1 and performing maintenance / inspection, etc., the warm air opened at intervals where fingers cannot be inserted in the warm air outlet 6 of the circulation fan case 5 can be inserted. The blowout louver 7 prevents the fingers from touching the heater 4 and allows safe maintenance and inspection work.
[0019]
Further, when the decorative member 8 is attached to the apparatus main body 1 after maintenance / inspection work, the warm air blowing louver 7 is inserted into the opening 9 of the decorative member 8, so that the decorative member 8 is securely attached. I can do it.
[0020]
In addition, the above-mentioned content is related to each embodiment of the present invention to the last, and it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above content.
