Figure 1 shows a state in which the clothes drying actuator B is connected to the dryer main body A, which operates as described above. Warm air is sent into the clothes dryer actuator B from the dryer main body A, and the air is discharged. Exit 1a.

The hot air blown to the outer nozzle 22 and the inner nozzle 23 through the suction port 30 is discharged from the hot air blowing hole 24.25.

At this time, if the inner nozzle 23 is extended as shown by the two-dot chain line, the hot air discharge range will be expanded. A large number of nozzle sets consisting of the outer nozzle 22 and the inner nozzle 23 are provided radially, but the nozzle set that is not used when there is little dry matter is rotated to the state shown by the two-dot chain line. Since the position of the suction port 30 is moved and closed, the air blowing to the inner nozzle 23 and the outer nozzle 22 is stopped, and waste of electric power can be prevented.

Next, an example of actual clothes drying will be explained. FIG. 2 shows a case where the dried material 91 is directly hooked onto the outer nozzle 22 and the inner nozzle 23 and dried. In this case, the warm air blown out from the hot air blowing holes 24 and 25 of the outer nozzle 22 and the inner nozzle 23 hits the inner surface of the dried material 91. In addition, dry matter 91
The upper part of the container is directly exposed to the heat from the outer nozzle 22 and the inner nozzle 23 and is dried. When the dried material 91 is large, the inner nozzle 23 can be extended and used. In this way, the drying method can be selected depending on the size of the dried material 91, resulting in improved efficiency. The nozzle set of the unused and unnecessary outer nozzles 22 and inner nozzles 23 can be rotated 906 times to stop blowing air. Also, since it is extendable and rotatable in this way, it can be stored compactly when not in use and does not get in the way. Since the diameters of the hot air blowing holes 24 and 25 of the outer nozzle 22 and the inner nozzle 23 become smaller toward the tips, the amount of warm air blowing out is averaged over the whole, and drying can be done evenly.

When dried as shown in FIG. 2, the dried material 91 may come into close contact with the edges as shown in FIG. 3(A). In this case, the passage of hot air is blocked and drying efficiency deteriorates. In order to prevent this, a contact prevention device 50 is used as shown in Fig. 3 (B).
, (C). By using the adhesion prevention device 50, stable passage of warm air becomes possible, and drying efficiency can be improved.

FIG. 4 shows a case in which a larger piece of clothing than that shown in FIG. 2 is to be dried. Clothes drying hangers 51 are attached to both ends of the two stretched inner nozzles 23, and drying items 9 are attached to the hangers 51.
Hook 2. In this state, hot air is blown out from the outer nozzle 22 and inner nozzle 23 at the top to dry it.

FIG. 5 shows a case where a dry item 93 such as a shirt or a sweater is dried without wrinkles and with a good finish. A hanger hook 52 is attached to the lower part of the lower case 21 of the drying attachment B for clothes, and dry items 93 such as shirts and sweaters hung on a general wire hanger 96 are hung from the hanger hook 52, and the outer nozzle 22 and It is dried by hot air blown from the inner nozzle 23. By attaching the hanger hook 52 in this way, dry items 93 such as shirts and sweaters can be dried by hanging them on the wire hanger 96, etc., so that they can be dried without wrinkles and with a good finish.

In addition, since it is dried by hanging it on a wire hanger 96, there is a minimum number of folds, and this also provides a good finish. Further, since the hanger hooking portion of the hanger hook 52 is formed into a plurality of wavy portions 54, a plurality of hangers 96 can be hooked without shifting, and even if a plurality of dried items 93 are dried, they will not overlap. Therefore, ventilation is good (and drying efficiency is improved).

In addition, the clothes drying hanger 51 and the inner nozzle 23 shown in FIG.
Also, when drying material is applied to a rod-shaped body made up of the outer nozzle 22, it is possible to improve the finish by reducing folding of the dried material.

FIG. 6 shows that drying in the conditions shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is performed more efficiently. The dried product in the state shown in FIG. 4 or 5 is covered with a drying cover 55 made of a heat-retaining waterproof and moisture-permeable material, and the temperature is raised by reflecting the internal heat so that it does not escape. However, the moisture required for drying is discharged through fine ventilation holes to improve drying efficiency. The drying cover 55 is in the form of a bag that opens in the front, and when installed, lower the zipper 56 to the bottom to open the front, cover the inner nozzle 23 and outer nozzle 22, and then raise the zipper 56 to close it. use. When the drying cover 55 is used, even if laundry such as a sweater that cannot be completely dehydrated is dried in a state where water droplets are dripping, the water droplets will not flow out to the outside. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the floor from getting dirty.

Next, with reference to FIG. 7, the operating state of the shoe and all-around drying attachment C will be explained. The shoes and the all-round drying attachment C are connected to the drying device main body A with elastic locking claws 18. The warm air blown from the drying device main body A passes through the air passage formed by the upper cover 32 and the lower cover 33, and is discharged to the outside from the shoe drying nozzle 38 and the umbrella drying nozzle 44.

The shoe drying nozzle 38 and the umbrella drying nozzle 44 are removable through the joint hole 34 of the upper cover 32 and the joint hook 35, and two of either can be used. When storing, it can be completely removed to save space. The umbrella cover 46 of the umbrella drying nozzle 44 is composed of a stretchable accordion duct, and can be stretched and used when drying. This results in
Even a long umbrella can cover water to prevent it from dripping outside.

In addition, it can be folded down to make it smaller when stored, so it does not get in the way. A plurality of hot air blowing holes 36 are provided at the lower end of the upper cover 32, so that a portion of the hot air in the blowing passage 30' can be directly discharged.

FIG. 8 shows the state in which shoes 94 and umbrella 95 are dried.

Shoes 94 are attached to the shoe drying nozzle 38 and the umbrella drying nozzle 44.
and the umbrella 95 are hung or stored in the state shown by the two-dot chain lines. Hot air is passed through an oval hot air blowing hole 42, a slit hot air blowing hole 43, and a joint hole 34 (seventh hole).
Blow out from the figure) and dry. When drying the shoes 94 and the umbrella 95, it is assumed that the drying process is carried out in a state where the shoes 94 and the umbrella 95 are heavily wet or in a state where the water is not drained sufficiently after washing. .

Therefore, the moisture accumulated in the vertical wall that does not flow out to the outside can be evaporated at the same time as the shoes 94 and the umbrella 95 are dried by the warm air discharged from the hot air outlet 36 during operation. Therefore, it is unnecessary and easy to dispose of water afterward.
