Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" This invention relates to a device for drying various kinds of clothes washed at home and for ironing them using a vacuum ironing board.

``Problems that cannot be solved by conventional techniques and ideas'' Conventionally, there is a known device that introduces hot air into a drying cabinet and uses hot air to dry the laundry placed inside the cabinet, but it only dries the laundry. Currently, laundry that has been dried in such a dryer is ironed separately.

Since this ironing conventionally uses a common ironing board commonly used at home, the work is not easy and takes time, and the finish is poor.

Conventionally, laundry shops and other businesses have used vacuum-type ironing boards, which are installed under ventilation mats and iron laundry while suctioning it tightly. Therefore, the structure is not suitable for use in general households.

Conventionally, a heater was installed at the top of the drying room, an exhaust port was installed at the bottom to exhaust the internal air using an exhaust pump, and an iron press table with a breathable cushion placed on a ventilation plate was placed at the top end, and the heater was heated. At the same time, the air in the drying chamber is sucked by the exhaust pump, which heats the air sucked through the ironing press board, and this heated air is passed between the laundry inside to dry it, and the ironing press board There is known an ironing press stand and dryer which sucks the steam generated from the laundry during pressing through the press (Japanese Patent Publication No. 15865/1973).

However, such iron press tables suck air from a large drying room space when air is taken in, so the suction efficiency of the iron press table is poor, and the iron press table is always placed on top of the dryer itself. This has the inconvenience of not being able to do ironing in another room, etc., and since there is a heater installed at the top, when hanging laundry inside the drying room or taking it out, it is inconvenient. It was impossible to put in and take out the dryer from the top, and the user had to cling to the front of the dryer to put in and take out the dryer, making it difficult to work.

Furthermore, conventional clothes dryers with hot air irons have been known that introduce hot air into the drying chamber to dry the laundry, and then introduce the hot air into a hot air heating iron to perform iron pressing. 118094), the ironing press table is fixed to the dryer and cannot be operated with suction, making it inconvenient for ironing, and the temperature cannot be adjusted. Using a wind iron was rather inconvenient.

In addition, all of the ironing press tables mentioned above are narrow, so when ironing long laundry items such as pants, they may protrude from the press table and fall off, or become unstable and make pressing work difficult. It had the drawback of being difficult.

"Means for solving the problem" This invention aims to solve the above-mentioned conventional problem.
A ventilation mat 22 supported by a support member 27 provided with air circulation holes installed inside is laid on the upper frame 6 of the drying cabinet 1, which has a drying chamber 3 inside, and air intake holes are provided at required locations on the circumference.
