Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve mixing performance of cloths in a rotation drum and to reduce the number of parts by providing a drum cover closing an opening through which cloths are delivered, at the outer peripheral part of the rotation drum, and providing the turning shafts of the drum cover at the baffle member of the drum. CONSTITUTION:A buffle 4 is provided with hinge members 4a being turning shaft member of a drum cover 5 and a cover retaining member 4b. Corresponding to a shaft member 5a and a magnet member 5b of the drum cover 5, the member 4a, and an iron plate 9 is installed on the buffle 4. As a result, there is no necessity of single parts such as bearing member, cover retaining member and the like. Since the turning shaft member of the drum cover and the cover retaining member is mounted on the baffle, it is possible to prevent cloths from striking against protrusion other than the buffle, to prevent cloths from being damaged, and to prevent the cover from being open during operation. Further, since it is possible to form the turning shaft member and cover retaining member and the buffle as an integral unit, it is possible to reduce the number of parts as well as assembling steps.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a clothes dryer having a clothes entry/exit opening on the outer periphery of the drum.

Go to 2/Prior Art Conventionally, this type of clothes dryer has the structure shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

In Fig. 7, 1 is an outer frame, 2 is a lid attached to the top of the outer frame 1, 3 is a rotary drum rotatably arranged inside the outer frame 1 to store and agitate the clothes, and 4 is a rotating drum for agitating the clothes. This is a baffle provided inside the rotating drum 3.

Further, 6 is a drum lid provided on the outer periphery of the drum 3,
6 is clothing.

In the above configuration, the user opens the lid 2 attached to the outer frame 1, then opens the drum lid 6, and selects the clothes 6 to be dried.
is put into the drum 3 and the clothes are dried. Clothes dryers having this configuration can be loaded with clothes from the street, and have different needs from those of types that load clothes from the side, such as when placed next to a washing machine.

Note that the drum lid 6 has the structure shown in FIGS. It formed a hinged part. Further, a differential holding member 8 for keeping the drum lid 5 in a closed state is also provided on the rotating drum 3.
The closed state was achieved by adsorption between the magnet 5b attached to the other end and the iron plate 9 attached to the lid holder 8.

Here, the lid holding member 8. The bearing members 7 were each fixed to the drum 3 with screws 1o, and were formed as separate parts from the panfur 4.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, the bearing member 7 is mounted on the drum 3 for one rotation.
．． There was a problem that the differential holding member 8 had to be attached separately from the baffle 4, which increased the number of assembly steps. In addition, since the bearing member 7 degree difference holding member 8 was installed protruding inside the rotating drum 3, drying clothes could get caught and be damaged, the original agitation performance would be impaired, and the drum lid 5 would frequently hit. There was a problem in that the drum lid 5 sometimes opened during operation.

The present invention is intended to solve these problems, and aims to improve the clothing agitation performance of the drum and reduce the number of parts.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a rotating shaft portion of the drum lid provided on the outer periphery of the drum in a baffle portion of the drum. The lid holding part of the drum lid is attached to the baffle of the drum.

Furthermore, the rotating shaft portion of the drum lid and the lid holder are integrally formed with the baffle.

Function: With this configuration, the rotating shaft and the lid holder can be attached by assembling the baffle, and there is no need to provide any protrusions inside the rotating drum other than the baffle, which improves stirring performance and quality. can be achieved. Furthermore, if it is formed integrally with the baffle, the number of parts can be reduced.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

Note that parts that are the same as those in the conventional configuration are given the same numbers on page 5, and their explanations are omitted, and only the features of the present invention will be explained below.

A hinge portion 4a and a lid holding portion 4b, which are the rotating shaft portion of the drum lid 5, which are the features of the present invention, are provided on the baffle 4, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Here, a bearing part 4a (hinge part) and an iron plate 9 are provided on the baffle 4 corresponding to the shaft part 6a and magnet part 6b of the drum M6, respectively.

Therefore, in the present invention, separate parts such as a bearing member and a differential holding member are not required.

As for the housing, FIGS. 3 and 4 show the bearing portion 42L.

This shows an embodiment in which a lid holding part 4b is provided on the baffle 4, and the drum lid 6 and panfle 4 are integrally formed by a connecting part 4C. With this configuration, it is possible to form a unit with the functions of a baffle and a drum lid using a single part, and only the screws 10 are required for attachment.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, since the rotating shaft portion of the drum lid and the lid holding portion are provided on the baffle, it is possible to prevent clothes from hitting protrusions other than the baffle.
Prevents cloth damage and lid opening while driving. !
Furthermore, by integrally forming the rotating shaft portion and the lid holding portion with the baffle, it is possible to reduce the number of parts and the number of assembly steps.
