Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a drying room using a bathroom.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as shown in Fig. 5, in a drying room using a bathroom for drying laundry, etc., a drying device c equipped with an air heater a and a blower b is installed outside the ceiling of the bathroom d. The humid air generated while drying the dried material e is sucked up by a blower b and a part of it is exhausted to the outside through an exhaust passage f, and the remaining humid air is heated and dried by an air heater a. Generally, the air is fed into the bathroom d again from the air outlet g.

However, since the air heater a heats and dries the humid air and sends it into the bathroom d again, in addition to heating the air, there is a waste of thermal energy consuming the latent heat for evaporating the moisture in the air. In addition, since the drying device c is placed outside the ceiling of the bathroom d, the entire bathroom d inevitably has a complicated structure and becomes large, and since it constantly processes humid air, the drying device c gradually corrodes due to moisture. There are drawbacks such as: Therefore, some devices are known in which a condenser is provided to condense the moisture contained in the air (for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 149192/1982). However, these devices also have a case outside the bathroom, an air heater and a condenser inside the case, and a blower that creates a circulating flow between the case and the bathroom to dry the items to be dried. However, it has problems such as being troublesome to install.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In view of the current situation, it is an object of the present invention to provide a drying chamber that does not waste heat energy and has high drying efficiency.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an air heater that circulates hot water between the heat exchanger and the heat exchanger in the bathtub. A hanging member is provided above the bathroom to suspend dry items, and a condenser is placed in the bathroom to condense moisture.

(Example) The present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows an example of the implementation of the present invention, in which a bathtub 2 is provided with an air heater 4 in the bathroom 1, and a condenser 5 is installed in the corner of the wall and ceiling on the opposite side of the bathtub 2. A heating and cooling unit 6 was installed outside the bathroom 1.

Further, the drying material 3 is hung by a hanging member 17 and is dried by placing it above the bathtub 2, that is, facing the position where air heated by the heat radiated from the air heater 4 provided thereon acts. The moisture in the humid air is condensed and removed by the condenser 5, and the air heater 4 uses hot water heated by the heat receiving heat exchanger 7 of the cooling/heating unit 6 as a heat source, and the condenser 5 Water is supplied as a refrigerant from the circulation line 8 of the heating and cooling unit 6.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the condenser 5 used in the present invention, which includes a cooling section 10 provided with fins 9 on the outer periphery,
The condenser 5 is constituted by the frame 11 that holds these,
Cooling water is circulated through the cooling unit 10 as a refrigerant.

In the drawing, 12 is the burner of the heat exchanger 7 for heat reception;
3 is a cistern, 14 is a circulation pump that circulates water or hot water from the cistern 13 to the cistern 13 via the heat exchanger 7 for receiving heat and the air heater 4, and 15 is a circulation pump that branches to the cistern 13 and the circulation path 8 16 indicates a return path that connects the condenser 5 and the cistern 13 and returns water to the cistern 13.

In this way, dried items 3 such as laundry are transferred to the air heater 4.
If hot water heated by the heat exchanger 7 facing upward is supplied to the air heater 4, the air inside the bathtub will be heated and rise by the heat released from the water, and the air in the bathtub will be suspended above it. The heated air acts intensively on the dried material 3 suspended by the member 17 to dry it. The moisture generated at this time is condensed and removed by a condenser 5 provided within the bathtub.
Therefore, the drying of the dried material 3 is further promoted, and the humid air tends to stay in the upper part of the bathroom 1. Therefore, the condenser 5 shown in FIG. 1 is installed at a high position in the bathroom 1. Ta. In addition, since the hot water supplied to the air heater 4 and the water circulated to the condenser 5 are returned to the cistern 13, the amount of water supplied from the water supply channel 15 to the cistern 13 is small, and the heat exchanger 7 for receiving heat is Since gradually heated water is supplied to the burner 12, the amount of fuel supplied to the burner 12 can be reduced, resulting in high thermal efficiency. Furthermore, when water is stored in the bathtub 2 and used as a bath, the air heater 4 can also be used as a reheating heater that indirectly heats the water in the bathtub.

3 and 4 show other embodiments of the present invention,
In the case shown in Fig. 3, the condenser 5 is arranged at the lower side of the bathroom 1, and in the case shown in Fig. 4, the condenser 5
is placed below the air heater 4 in the bathtub 2, and a refrigerant is circulated through the condenser 5 to condense and remove the moisture in the humid air, and the resulting drain is discharged. made it easier.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, according to the invention, an air heater that circulates hot water between the heat exchanger and the heat receiving heat exchanger is installed in the bathtub, and dry items are hung above the bathtub. In addition, a condenser is installed in the bathroom to condense moisture, so the high-temperature air heated by the heat emitted from the air heater acts intensively on the dry matter. In addition to increasing the drying efficiency, the condenser can condense the moisture released from the dried material, making it possible to dry the dried material more quickly. Moreover, the air heater and condenser can be installed in the bathroom. Since the air heater is provided in the air heater, there is no need for a fan or the like to circulate hot air, and the structure is simple and installation is simple, and the air heater can also be used as a heater for reheating.
