Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the moisture-proof type clothing drying-machine of the less restriction of a place for using the machine by providing the lower side of a rear plate with a second exhaust air port, and by setting a rectifier plate led to the second exhaust air port, attachably or removably near the first exhaust air port of an external frame bottom section. CONSTITUTION:By forming the suction or exhaust passage of cooling air 6, air is sucked up through a plurality of suction air ports 15 arranged on the almost central section of a rear plate 3. In the meantime, on cooling exhaust air, on the lower side of the rear plate 3, a plurality of second exhaust air ports 19 are arranged, and a rectifier plate 20 for covering the first exhaust air port 17 of an external frame 1 and leading the cooling exhaust air to the second exhaust air port of the rear plate 3 is attachably or removably set. Accordingly, by fitting the rectifier plate 20, the cooling exhaust air is discharged to the rear side of the external frame 1.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a dehumidifying clothes dryer for use in general households.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional dehumidifying clothes dryer has a structure shown in FIGS. 3 to 5.

In FIG. 6, 1 is an outer frame of the dryer, 2 is a rotary drum rotatably installed within the outer frame 1, and 3 is a back plate that covers the rear of the outer frame 1. 4 is circulating air 6 and cooling air 6 on both sides of the blade
A double-blade fan 7 generates heat exchange between the circulating air 5 and the cooling air 6 through the blades;
8 is a vortex chamber for circulating air; 9 is a cooling vortex chamber formed by abutting the partition wall 10 formed on the outer edge and the back plate 3; , a cooling vortex chamber 9 and a filter 7 are constructed. 11 is a circulation duct, 12
13 is a heater serving as a heat source; 14 is a motor that rotationally drives the rotating drum 2 and the double-winged fan 4.

In the above configuration, the motor 14 rotates and the rotating drum 2
When the double-wing fan 4 rotates, circulating air 5 and cooling air are generated, and the circulating air 5 passes through the circulation duct and reaches the heater 13, where it becomes hot air and is introduced into the rotating drum 2, where it exchanges heat with the clothes. Afterwards, the air returns to the double-wing fan 4 again, and the cycle is repeated. Furthermore, the circulating air 5 and the cooling air 6, which have become hot and humid, exchange heat with the blades of the double-winged fan 4, the circulating air 5 is cooled, and the condensed water is drained out of the machine through the drain port 12.

In the above configuration, as shown in FIG. Air is taken in from the intake area 16 at the bottom of the frame 1, and exhausted from the exhaust port 17 at the bottom of the outer frame 1.
It was completely exhausted.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention With such a conventional configuration, when the dryer is used in the state shown in FIG. 4, it may not be possible to exhaust the air downward to the stand 18, etc., and the installation conditions are extremely restricted. . In addition, if the lower base is not smooth, there is a problem that the exhaust efficiency decreases and the dehumidification performance deteriorates.

In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to reduce restrictions on installation conditions and to improve dehumidification ability.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a second
An exhaust port is provided at the bottom of the outer frame, and a rectifying plate leading to the second exhaust port is detachably provided near the first exhaust port at the bottom of the outer frame.

Function: With this configuration, the cooling air can be exhausted from the second exhaust port, that is, at the rear of the dryer.It can also be used on a stand where an exhaust path cannot be secured at the bottom of the dryer, and the lower base is small. It is possible to ensure the desired dehumidification performance of the dryer even when the dryer is not used.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. Note that parts that are the same as those in the conventional configuration are given the same numbers, and their explanations will be omitted, and only the features of the present invention will be explained below.

The cooling air 6 is sucked in through a plurality of intake ports 15 provided approximately at the center of the back plate 3 in the formation of an intake/exhaust path for the cooling air 6, which is a feature of the present invention. On the other hand, the cooling exhaust gas is provided at a plurality of second
An exhaust port 19 is provided. And the first one of outer frame 1
A rectifying plate 20 that covers the exhaust port 17 and guides the cooling exhaust gas to the second exhaust port of the back plate 3 is detachably provided.

Therefore, by attaching the baffle plate 20, the cooling exhaust gas is exhausted to the rear of the outer frame 1. Normally, the configuration is such that the cooling exhaust gas is mainly exhausted from the first exhaust port 17 of the outer frame 1 without the baffle plate 19 attached.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the second cooling exhaust port is provided on the back plate, and the rectifying plate that guides the cooling exhaust gas to the second exhaust port is detachably provided. Depending on the installation requirements, for example, even if there is a closed space below the mounting ring or there is little space below, cooling exhaust can be provided at the rear, ensuring the desired drying and dehumidifying performance. Therefore, it is possible to provide a dehumidifying clothes dryer that has fewer restrictions on where it can be used than conventional clothes dryers.
