Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

[Purpose of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to a small dryer, and particularly to a small dryer that is not equipped with a rotating drum and can dry delicate items such as underwear without damaging them. (Prior art) As a conventional dryer, a drying machine is disclosed in Utility Model Publication No. 56-7267, in which the material to be dried is placed in a rotating drum, and hot air is sent into the rotating drum while the rotating drum is rotated. It is known from official gazettes, etc. However, such rotating drum type dryers are large and expensive, and because the drying material is rotated, they tend to damage delicate fibers such as women's underwear. To improve this problem, there is a method in which the material to be dried is placed in a vertical fixed drum through the upper opening, and hot air is blown up into the fixed drum from below. However, when hot air is blown up from below into a vertical fixed drum, the hot air is blown against the weight of the material to be dried, so the capacity of the motor must be increased, and the warm air is blown against the weight of the material to be dried. It is difficult to reach the inside of objects and drying efficiency is low. In order to solve this problem, a method in which hot air is blown horizontally onto the material to be dried has been proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 49-97465, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-21115, etc. . (Problem to be solved by the invention) In the above-mentioned conventional technology, the drying chamber is large and configured so that the hot air flows upward and is discharged, so that the material to be dried is sufficiently blown by the hot air. I had a problem with it not being wrapped. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a small-sized dryer that can satisfactorily envelop the objects to be dried stored in an air-permeable container with warm air and allow the warm air to reach the inside of the objects to be dried. [Structure of the invention] (Means for solving the problem) The present invention has a ventilation chamber having an intake port and in which a fan rotated by a motor is disposed, and an exhaust port installed in parallel with the ventilation chamber. In a small dryer that is configured with a fixed drying chamber for drying material and blows warm air heated by a heater laterally toward the drying chamber, an air intake port is formed on one side of a horizontally long outer casing. At the same time, an exhaust port is formed on the other side, and a partition plate having an air outlet is provided in the outer casing in parallel with the side surface, and a ventilation chamber is provided on the intake port side of the partition plate, and a small drying chamber is provided on the exhaust port side of the partition plate. A ventilating receiver is provided in the drying chamber above the bottom of the drying chamber, and a fan is rotated to blow hot air laterally from the outlet, enveloping the ventilating receiver, and blowing the hot air laterally from the exhaust port. It is configured to discharge. (Function) In this invention, warm air is blown out laterally from the outlet of the partition plate toward the small drying chamber by the drive of the fan, and then flows laterally, wrapping around the breathable receiver and exiting from the exhaust outlet. By discharging in the lateral direction, warm air can sufficiently reach the inside of the items to be dried, which are fixedly stored in the small drying chamber via the air-permeable receiver, and are properly dried. (Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 and 2 show the first embodiment, in which 1 is an outer casing, which includes a casing main body 2 integrally molded with a U-shaped cross section from synthetic resin, and an opening on the right side of the casing main body 2. A side plate 4 having an air intake port 3 attached thereto, a side plate 6 having an air outlet 5 attached to an opening on the left side, a bottom plate 7, and a curved door attached to the opening on the left side of the front surface so as to be openable and closable. It consists of 8. 9
is a partition plate having an air outlet 10 installed in the outer casing 1, and forms a drying chamber 11 on the left side of the outer casing 1 corresponding to the door 8, and a blowing chamber 12 on the right side. The drying chamber 11 includes the side plate 6 and the partition plate 9.
Guide rails 13, 13 provided respectively in
A door 8 is provided to be openable and closable along the side plate 6 and the partition plate 9, and three-stage receiving shelves 14, 14 are provided at corresponding locations on the side plate 6 and the partition plate 9, respectively.
4 and 14, a basket 15 for accommodating materials to be dried is hung in such a manner that it can be taken in and out. Further, a drain plate 17 having a drain port 16 is provided at the bottom of the drying chamber 11, and a saucer 18 is provided at the bottom of the drain plate 17 so as to be removable. A shaded motor 19 is mounted on the side plate 4 of the ventilation chamber 12, and a fan 21 is provided on the rotating shaft 20 of this motor 19. Further, a mica heater 22 is attached to the partition plate 9. Furthermore, an operation panel 23 is attached to the front right side of the outer casing 1, and the operation panel 23 is provided with a timer set section 24, a cold air switch 25, and an indicator lamp 26.
Further, a filter (not shown) is provided at the intake port 3. Then, the door 8 is opened, and the dried material dehydrated by the dehydrator is stored in the three-stage basket 15 of the drying chamber 11, and the door 8 is closed. Next, the timer set section 24
Set the drying time according to the amount of material to be dried by operating. By this timer set, heater 2
2 and the motor 19 are energized, outside air is sucked into the blowing chamber 12 from the intake port 3 through the filter by the fan 21 which is rotationally driven by the motor 19, and the sucked outside air is heated by the heater 22 and turned into warm air. This warm air is sent to the drying chamber 11 from the outlet 10 of the partition plate 9, and is blown horizontally toward the items to be dried, passing through the basket 15 to blow the items to be dried suspended in three tiers. It envelops the object and reaches the inside of the object to dry it, and then it is discharged to the outside from the exhaust port 5. When the cold air switch 25 is pressed to set the timer after hot air drying, only the motor 19 is energized, and the cold air is blown horizontally onto the dried material to prevent wrinkles. In this way, in the above embodiment, hot air is blown laterally from the outlet 10 of the partition plate 9 onto the material to be dried stored in the basket 15, which is an air-permeable container.
Since the hot air is discharged from the exhaust port 5 in the horizontal direction, the hot air envelops the object to be dried and reaches the inside of the object to dry it well. This eliminates the need to move the material to be dried by rotating a drum or to blow hot air against the weight of the material as in the past.
Good hot air drying can be achieved using an inexpensive motor such as. Furthermore, since cold air treatment can be performed after hot air drying, it is possible to effectively prevent wrinkles in the dried material. In addition, since the items to be dried are dried in a fixed state, even women's underwear made of extremely delicate fibers can be safely dried without being damaged. It is also compact and easy to handle and carry.

[Table] As shown above, the drying method according to this embodiment is slightly inferior to the method in which warm air is blown upward against the weight of the items to be dried in terms of drying time, but the drying time is less It will be excellent in terms of price. Further, in the case of a device that blows hot air upward, it is not possible to dry two days' worth of underwear, but the device according to this embodiment can dry satisfactorily even if the amount of material to be dried is large. FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment, in which the same parts as those in the above embodiment are given the same reference numerals and explanations of the same parts are omitted. To explain, a ventilation chamber 12 is provided on the left side of the outer casing 1,
A drying chamber 11 is provided on the right side, and a plurality of nets 15A are installed in the drying chamber 11, so that hot air from the ventilation chamber 12 is directed horizontally to the items to be dried placed on the plurality of nets 15A. Similar to the above embodiment, the warm air wraps around the object to be dried and reaches inside the object, allowing for good drying. Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention. For example, the type of motor and heater, the shape and structure of the outer casing, door, etc. may be selected as appropriate. Moreover, it goes without saying that the material to be dried is not limited to clothing such as underwear, but can be used for a wide range of other suitable drying materials. [Effects of the invention] The present invention has a ventilation chamber equipped with a fan having an intake port and rotated by a motor, and a fixed drying chamber for drying objects installed in parallel with the ventilation chamber and having an exhaust port.
