Description

  In the present invention, the degree of wetness of hand towels and dish cloths used at home and the like increases as the number of uses increases, and the discomfort cannot be forbidden as the later times. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the present invention relates to an electric heat-sealed towel / cloth towel dryer for home use that can be used comfortably at any time, keeping the towel / cloth towel always hygienic and dry.

  As a device for drying a towel, a rotary repetitive use type in a restaurant or the like can be seen, but it is large and for business use and is not popular in general households.

  At home appliance mass retailers, there are almost no special towel dryers for general households. There are some that use the heat of a panel heater to hang a towel on its side with a hanger and also serve as a towel dryer. However, large towel dryers with a similar structure can be seen in pamphlets sent to mail order companies at home.

  The following Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3 can be cited as known techniques related to the present invention.

  The original purpose of the rotary sanitary towel dryer is made for business stores, the users are made assuming an unspecified number of people, the price is expensive, and it is not suitable for general households.

  In addition, dryers sold as mail-order products are multi-purpose so that clothes and bath towels can be used, and many of them are also used for nearby heating. is there.

  In particular, after the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, awareness of energy saving and power saving became stronger, and it has become difficult to meet the demands of these times with conventional towel dryers.

  Further, the dryers of Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3 are a method in which a towel is approached and straddled on a flat heater panel and dried with its radiant heat, or a hot air blowing method on a towel by a fan. In any of these methods, since any method is exposed to space, heat is radiated and dissipated wastefully in spaces other than towels, resulting in poor heat efficiency and uneconomical use of energy.

  Due to the current situation and problems described above, a small and economical towel / cloth towel dryer dedicated to general households has not been developed yet. Therefore, in each household, the washstand, toilet, etc. are covered with towels in a bare state, and in the kitchen, only the cloth is hung on the hanger, especially in the cold season and the rainy season, the drying time is also Long, unbearable, cold and uncomfortable. The reality is that we are dealing with changing towels at best, which increases the number of towels and cloths to be washed.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the purpose of the present invention is to develop a sealed type door with an electric heater and a door opening / closing type container for drying towels and cloths, and to put the towels and cloths in it. Improves thermal efficiency with a heat confinement method, realizes energy saving and power saving so that towels and cloths can be dried in a short time, frees up towels and cloths that are frequently used at home from wet conditions, Another object of the present invention is to provide a hygienic and noise-free electric heat-sealed towel / cloth towel dryer which can be used in a comfortable state with a sterilizing function.

  In each household, towels for wiping wet hands are used for daily toilets, washstands, etc., and kitchen towels are exposed on a hanger, but as the number of times of wiping hands and dishes increases, The degree of wetting increases and the discomfort increases gradually. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, it is put into a sealed container with an electric heater having a sterilizing function, and it is energized at all times to evaporate the moisture in the towel and the cloth and dry it.

  The size of the airtight container is characterized by the size that can wrap the hanger on a hanger after folding a commonly used general-purpose 35cm wide and 80cm long towel.

  The sealed container has a built-in electric heater, so the door surface has a structure that features a transparent heat-resistant reinforced plastic to make it visible from the outside for safety.

  As a heater to be energized, carbon fiber, which has been widely used as a heat generating material in recent years, is incorporated into a heat generating flat plate. Then, it is fixed to one side of the openable container, and heat is evenly radiated from the entire heat generating flat plate to the adjacent towel / cloth width in the container and dried.

  Since the frequency of towel use varies depending on the family structure, in order to be able to change the length of drying time, a current control unit that can arbitrarily set the degree of heat generation as strong, medium, weak is provided, and the sliding type in it Adjust as appropriate with the temperature adjustment lever.

  Since it is necessary to discharge water vapor evaporated from a heated towel or cloth, about 4 to 5 small holes are provided on the door surface.

  As for the installation form of the towel / cloth dryer, it shall be a hanging system or a stand system that stands on the floor, giving consideration to convenience. In the case of the suspension method, a hook receiving part with a hole for hanging with a hook is provided at the top of the dryer. In the case of the stand system, the stand leg is inserted into two stands. The height of the stand should be about 70 cm so that you do not have to bend your waist too much. Furthermore, taking into account the difference in height of people, in order to have versatility, a stretchable functional configuration is adopted.

  Hand towels become very moist after three uses and increase in discomfort with each subsequent use. In summer when the temperature is high, the room temperature is high and it is a little dry, so it does not bother much, but during the rainy season it takes a long time to squeeze and wet, and in the cold season it feels very cold, Everyone feels that the discomfort is extremely unbearable. The same applies to the cloth width, and after breakfast and lunch, the next tableware wiping interval is about 4 to 5 hours. Therefore, if the towel / cloth dryer of the present invention is used, it can be expected that the discomfort so far is greatly improved.

  In other words, there has been no home-use towel / cloth dryer to dry towels and cloths effectively at a low price so far, and as a countermeasure for discomfort in each home, new towels and cloths are used several times a day at most. The reality is that it has been dealt with by the method of replacing it. Furthermore, with regard to the cloth width, as a sterilization measure, hot water is applied to the cloth cloth or it is treated by a method such as washing with a kitchen detergent that is said to be harmful to the body, and if this dryer with a sterilizing function is used, The burden on these housewives can be reduced or eliminated. Therefore, if the towel / cloth towel dryer of the present invention is used, it is possible to dry the towel / cloth towel with its radiant heat and save the labor of sanitary treatment, and it can be expected that the problems so far will be solved.

  Also, even if the towels are slightly wet, it is often experienced that they do not feel so uncomfortable if the temperature is high. A warm example of this is a good example. In addition, the towel / cloth dryer of the present invention is a system in which heat is not radiated outside but confined in a container, so that heat is hardly dissipated in spaces other than towels, unlike conventional products, Due to its high thermal efficiency, the consumption of electrical energy is small, and an economic effect that matches the demands of the times can be greatly expected.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  The conventional towel dryer is a method in which the towel is brought close to the heater that is exposed in the space, or hot air is blown to the towel by a fan, and wasteful heat loss lost to the space etc. is inevitable. In contrast, as shown in FIG. 1, the product of the present invention dries towels and cloths in a manner that traps heat in a container, which means that less electrical energy is required and that heat efficiency is superior. There are features.

As shown in FIG. 1, the heater panel 2 that is a housing for storing carbon fibers used as a heater is structurally coupled to the towel storage case 1 by being fixed to one side of the towel storage case 1, Since the body needs to consider fire resistance and heat resistance, it is characterized by being made of metal such as stainless steel. In addition, the towel-side dry surface of the heater panel 2 has a sterilizing function, so that an antibacterial property is imparted by a method such as laminating a coating containing a photocatalytic substance, and the hygiene function is enhanced. Similarly, the outside is also made of a member having a heat blocking function.

  The overall size of the towel / cloth dryer can be folded into a common, commonly used, 35cm wide, 80cm long towel and wrapped on an internal hanger. It is characterized by having a size of about 40 cm and a length of about 45 cm.

  Sealed containers for towels and cloths are basically made of fireproof and heat resistant reinforced plastic with a transparent door surface that is visible from the outside through the door surface and is resistant to heat. It has a characteristic structure.

  As an electric heating material, the heat conduction effect is excellent, and carbon fiber, which has been widely used as an electric heating material in recent years, is used, and as shown in Fig. 2, the heat generated is evenly wired in a heat-resistant metal casing. A flat plate is fixed to one side of the container, and a commercial power source is used as the power source.

  The number of times the towel is used varies depending on the number of people in the family, and the degree of wetness also varies. Therefore, the drying temperature can be adjusted to arbitrarily change the drying time. Therefore, a slide-type temperature control lever that can adjust the amount of current flowing in the strong, medium, and weak ranges is provided in the current control unit.

  As shown in FIG. 1, about 4 to 5 small holes for discharging evaporated water to the outside are appropriately provided on the transparent door surface, and provided with a fastener for opening and closing the container.

  The installation method of the towel dryer varies depending on the structure of each household. Basically, as shown in Fig. 3, a hook receiving part is provided at the top of the towel dryer to suspend it. A hanging system is used in which a hook is hung on and hung. In addition, in a house where the suspension method is difficult, a stand for standing on the floor is prepared separately, and two stand legs for mounting on the stand are attached to the lower part of the towel dryer, and the stand method is set on the stand.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the case of the hanging method, hooks may be hooked on a shelf or the like, and therefore the hook portion that contacts the shelf or the like is made of a member having a non-slip function. On the main unit side, the hook receiver for hanging the towel dryer is fixed to the main unit.

.
In the case of floor installation, the height of the stand is about 70 cm so that the towel comes to a height that does not bend the waist so that the waist is not burdened when wiping hands. Furthermore, it is designed to be stretchable so that it can be adapted to the height of each person. The stand is placed in two places on the left and right, and the bottom is wide and wide enough to prevent the body from falling.
