Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a gas bath kettle with a drying chamber attached to a gas bath kettle for home use.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, home dryers have generally used electricity or gas as the heat source for drying, but the fuel consumption required to dry clothes every day can add up to considerable annual costs, which has hindered their widespread use. . Also,
From the viewpoint of reducing fuel consumption or effective utilization,
A dryer using the heat source of a household heater has also been proposed in Japanese Publication No. 27149 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-49171.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, when a dryer is used by blowing some of the warm air from the hot air heater into the drying room, the warm air used for heating ends up being forced into the drying function, and the hot air heater It adds a new load,
Energy saving effects could not necessarily be expected, and it was impractical when considering equipment installation, ventilation duct piping, ease of use, etc.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problems, this invention provides a damper in the exhaust pipe of the gas bath kettle to provide a branch path, connects the branch path to the inlet side of the drying chamber, and connects the branch path to the outlet side of the drying chamber. A damper is interposed in the discharge passage to form a circulation passage, and the circulation passage is connected to the branch passage to constitute a gas bathtub with a drying chamber.

[Effect]

In a gas bathtub with a drying chamber configured as described above,
By supplying the combustion exhaust generated when heating the bath to the drying room, the drying room can be used as a dryer. If the drying room is not used, it can be branched by switching the damper installed in the exhaust stack. It can be used as a regular gas bath by closing the channel.

〔Example〕

The embodiments shown in the drawings will be specifically described below.

A circulation pipe 1 is installed inside the appliance body 10 of the gas bath pot.
A heat exchanger 12 directly connected to the bathtub at 1 and the heat exchanger 1
The opening and closing of the gas burner 13 is manually or electrically controlled by a control unit 14. A branch passage 22 is provided in the exhaust pipe 20 of the gas bath boiler with a damper 21 having an opening/closing function interposed therebetween, and the branch passage 22 is connected to the entrance side of the drying chamber 30 and is inserted into the drying chamber 30. A temperature regulator 23 is connected to the branch path 22 and is capable of detecting the temperature inside the drying chamber 30 with a heat sensitive section 24 and adjusting a damper accordingly to increase or decrease the amount of intake air.

A discharge path 32 in which a dehumidifying filter 31 is interposed is provided on the exit side of the drying chamber 30.
A circulation path 34 is formed by interposing a damper 33 in the branch path 22, and the circulation path 34 is connected to the branch path 22.
A blower 35 is installed in the branch path 22 downstream of the connection position.
is interposed.

When using the drying chamber 30 when heating the bath, the damper 21 is switched to open the branch passage 22, the blower 35 is operated to introduce combustion exhaust into the branch passage 22, and the combustion exhaust is passed through the temperature regulator 23. By adjusting the amount of intake air, the air is turned into warm air at an appropriate temperature and is supplied to the drying chamber 30. The exhaust air from the drying chamber 30 is dehumidified by a dehumidifying filter 31 and led out to the exhaust passage 32, and a part of it flows through the circulation passage 34, joins the branch passage 22, and is supplied to the drying chamber 30 again. Ru.

〔effect〕

The characteristic effects of this invention are as follows.

This idea uses the combustion exhaust air from the gas bath kettle as a dryer by supplying air into the drying chamber, so it reuses the combustion exhaust gas that would previously have been discarded. It does not require any fuel consumption as a device, and it can be used without placing any special load on the gas bath pot.

Furthermore, if the capacity of the gas bath kettle is 12,000 Kcal/hr and the thermal efficiency is 70%, even if heat absorption of the equipment is taken into consideration, the combustion exhaust contains approximately 3,000 Kcal/hr of heat, which is suitable for the capacity of the dryer. Since the drying chamber is used when heating the bath in the gas bath kettle, the drying time is both necessary and sufficient.

Additionally, the gas bath kettle is usually installed near the bathroom or outdoors across the bathroom wall, and the dryer is usually installed in the changing room.Since both are installed adjacent to each other, piping and installation are easy. It has practical effects.

In addition, by forming a circulation path in the exhaust path and making it possible to supply a portion of the exhaust air to the drying chamber again, by supplementing the amount of heat, the drying chamber itself can be heated even though it does not have a heat source. It is also permissible to design the dryer to have a relatively large volume, and it is also possible to dry a large amount of clothes at the same time.
