  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

(Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the futon drying apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a drying apparatus main body 1 and a hose 2 that guides warm air blown from the drying apparatus main body 1 to the outside. A drying mat 3 used when the clothes are dried, a clothes drying cover (not shown) used when drying the clothes, and an attachment outlet (not shown) used when drying the shoes.

  The drying apparatus main body 1 includes a blower 5 serving as a blowing means, a heater 6 serving as a heating means that heats discharge air from the blower 5 into warm air, and a high voltage applied to the inside of the main body case 4. An electrode, a counter electrode provided opposite to the discharge electrode, and electrostatic atomizing means 7 including a heat exchanging unit including a cooling unit and a heat radiating unit are provided. A main body suction port 8 communicating with the port 5a and a main body outlet 9 for blowing warm air blown by the blower 5 and the heater 6 are formed.

  And when the electrostatic atomization means 7 supplies DC power to the heat exchanging unit, heat transfer occurs in the heat exchanging unit, the temperature of the cooling unit decreases, and the moved heat is dissipated from the heat dissipating unit. In this process, when the air is cooled in the cooling section, the condensed water adheres to the discharge electrodes provided in the cooling section, and when a high voltage is applied to the discharge electrodes and discharged, the particles are encapsulated in water. The charged fine water droplets are generated, and the discharge electrode faces the air passage 10 from the blower 5 to the heater 6 so that the charged fine water droplets are discharged by the blower 5.

  Also, the futon drying device includes a futon drying mode for drying a futon, a clothing drying mode for drying clothing, a shoe drying mode for drying shoes, and the like. The “operation mode” changeover switch 11A to be switched, and the futon drying mode are switched to a summer futon drying mode for drying in summer and a normal futon drying mode (indicated as winter in FIG. 3) for drying in a season other than summer. Further, each of these futon drying modes is divided into a cotton futon and a feather futon, and a “futon” changeover switch 11B for selecting and switching among the four futon drying modes, and each mode of the “operation mode” Regardless of the ion emission mode, the ion atomization mode in which the electrostatic atomization means 7 is operated alone and the operation of discharging only the charged fine water droplets is performed by operating alone. An operation unit 12 having a switch 11C for "ion" to switch to is provided in front of the body case 4.

  Next, the operation of the futon drying apparatus having the above configuration will be described.

  First, futon drying, which is the main function of the futon drying apparatus, will be described more specifically in the case of drying cotton futon.

  As a preparation for the operation of drying the futon, as shown in FIG. 2, the air outlet 2 a of the hose 2 is connected to the air inlet 3 a of the bag-shaped drying mat 3 in which the hanging futon 13 and the mattress 14 are put. Here, it is desirable that a gap through which warm air passes is formed between the comforter 13 and the mattress 14 and between the comforters 13 and 14 and the drying mat 3.

  Then, a futon operation mode is selected by the “operation mode” changeover switch 11A of the operation unit 12, and “summer cotton” is selected by the “futon” changeover switch 11B to start operation in the summer futon drying mode.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the operation is started, the heater 6 that is a heating unit and the blower 5 that is a blowing unit are energized, and the hot air for a time Thb set in advance as a time for drying the futon is blown. And when time Thb passes, electricity supply to the heater 6 will stop and it will drive | operate only the air blower 5. FIG. This operation of only blowing is for removing hot air accumulated in the summer by hot air blowing drying, and is operated for a time Tfc.

  On the other hand, the electrostatic atomizing means 7 starts to operate after a predetermined time T2 has elapsed from the point of time when only air blowing is performed. The predetermined time T2 is set in advance as a time during which the heater 6 is stopped and only air blowing is performed, and the temperature of the air blowing is lowered so that the electrostatic atomizer 7 can stably generate charged fine water droplets. It was time. In other words, the electrostatic atomization means 7 cools the discharge electrode in the cooling unit, causes moisture in the air to condense and adhere to the discharge electrode, and applies a high voltage to the discharge electrode to which the moisture has adhered to apply charged fine water droplets. Since it is generated, moisture is unlikely to condense in an atmosphere of high temperature and low humidity. Therefore, since the temperature of the atmosphere needs to be lowered to a temperature at which dew condensation occurs satisfactorily, the predetermined time T2 for delaying the operation is set.

  And the electrostatic atomization means 7 stops after act | operating for the predetermined time T1 which stops simultaneously with the air blower 5. FIG.

  As described above, according to the summer futon drying mode, the electrostatic atomizing means 7 is operated at the time of the operation of only the air to remove the hot air after the futon drying by the hot air air blowing. Without being provided, charged fine water droplets can be stably supplied.

  In addition, since the electrostatic atomizing means 7 generates charged fine water droplets by the above-described configuration, it does not need to be replaced even if it is operated for a long time.

  Since the electrostatic atomizing means 7 operates in a series of operations for drying the futon, the electrostatic atomizing means 7 operates every time the futon is dried, and enters the room and adheres to the futon. It can inactivate and deodorize the odors of pollen, viruses, tick carcasses, feces, or futons, and it should be repeated without paying attention to measures such as pollen and ticks. The effect is remarkable.

  Moreover, the electrostatic atomization means 7 is set so that it may operate | move at the time of the operation | movement only of the ventilation after a warm air ventilation driving | operation, and the operation time only of this ventilation is shorter than the time of a warm air ventilation operation (for example, 1 Therefore, the operation time of the electrostatic atomizing means 7 is considerably shorter than the time of the hot air blowing operation, but the above-described effects of the electrostatic atomizing means 7 can be achieved in this time.

  Next, the operation in the normal futon drying mode in which the futon is dried in a season other than summer will be described.

  The “futon” changeover switch 11B shown in FIG. 3 selects either “winter” mode cotton or feather and starts operation.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the operation is started, in the normal futon drying mode, there is no operation of only blowing to remove the hot air of the futon by hot air blowing drying. The operation is performed for a predetermined time T3 (= Tf3).

  Since the electrostatic atomization means 7 is operated in an atmosphere at room temperature as in the summer futon drying mode, it is possible to stably supply charged fine water droplets.

  The operation time of the electrostatic atomizing means 7 may be approximately the same as the operation time in the summer futon drying mode, while the hot air blowing operation time for performing futon drying is set to the same time as in the summer futon drying mode. Therefore, the predetermined time T3 set as the operation time of the electrostatic atomizing means 7 may be considerably shorter than the hot air blowing operation time Thb (= Tfu).

  Therefore, even if the time for operating the electrostatic atomizing means 7 is provided before the futon drying, the operating time is considerably shorter than the futon drying time, and the futon drying and the series of operations are performed. There is no burden on the user.

  Next, the operation in the clothes drying mode provided in addition to the summer or the normal futon drying mode will be described.

  In preparation for operation, the air outlet 2a of the hose 2 is connected in communication with a clothes drying cover (not shown) that forms a space in which clothes are placed and suspended.

  Then, the “clothing drying” mode is selected with the “operation mode” changeover switch 11A shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the operation is started, a hot air blowing operation is performed in which the heater 6 and the blower 5 are energized to dry the clothes. The hot air blowing operation dries clothes that have been washed and wet, and thus is performed for a predetermined time Thc (= Tfc) longer than the hot air blowing operation in the futon drying mode.

  Then, when the hot air blowing operation is completed, the operation of only the blowing in which the electrostatic atomizing means 7 is subsequently operated is performed. Since the operation time of the electrostatic atomizer 7 is intended for clothes after washing, it is set shorter than the operation time of the electrostatic atomizer 7 in the futon drying mode.

  Next, the operation in the shoe drying mode will be described.

  As a preparation for operation, an attachment connection port (not shown) is attached to the air outlet 2a of the hose 2, and the attachment connection port is set so that air can be fed into the interior of the shoe.

  Then, “shoe” is selected with the changeover switch 11A of “operation mode” shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the operation is started, the heater 6 and the blower 5 are energized and the hot air blowing operation time Ths (= Tfs) for drying the shoes is performed. When the predetermined time Ths has elapsed and stopped, the operation continues. The operation of only air blowing with the electrostatic atomizing means 7 activated is performed for a predetermined time T5 (= Tf5).

  The hot air blowing operation time Ths in the shoe drying mode is the hot air blowing operation in drying the above futon or clothing, even if the object to be dried is a shoe, whether it is washed or wet with rain. Although it may be shorter than the time, and the smell attached to the shoes is strong, it is much smaller than the futon and clothing, so the predetermined time T5 of the electrostatic atomizing means 7 is shorter than the drying mode of the futon and clothing. However, it can fully perform its function.

  The futon drying device operates independently by operating the electrostatic atomization means 7 separately from the operation mode in which the electrostatic atomization means 7 is operated as a series of operations and the drying operation by the hot air blowing. It has a discharge mode.

  For example, spray charged fine water droplets on futons that appear at the turn of the season, or on futons that are stored, or on futons or clothing or shoes when returning home when pollen is severely scattered. The ion release mode can be operated by pressing the “ion” changeover switch 11C.

  The operation time in the ion release mode can be selected from the predetermined time set as the operation time of the electrostatic atomizing means 7 in each of the summer futon drying mode, the normal futon drying mode, the clothes drying mode, and the shoe drying mode. These operating times are shorter in the order of the predetermined times described here, as described above.

  And it can select from these time according to the kind of the object of operation of ion discharge mode, the degree of contamination, the amount of adhesion, etc., and it becomes possible to operate efficiently.

  The futon drying device according to the present invention can exhibit the function of inactivating allergic activity due to pollen, mite carcasses, feces, etc., without replacing components and accessories over a long period of time, with the function of futon drying, These functions can be exhibited by futon drying and a series of operations, and it is useful as a futon drying device with excellent usability.
