Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a dryer in which items to be dried, such as small clothes, are placed in a main body and dried with hot air.

[Conventional technology]

As shown in Figure 4, the conventional small clothes dryer
A heater 25 and a blower 6 are provided on the lower side, and the heated air passes through the air outlet along the arrow, is diffused by the drip-proof plate 26, and then passes between the items to be dried hung on the hanger, and then passes through the lid 30. The structure is such that hot air flows out of the main body 1 from the exhaust port 32 of the main body 1, and in order to make it easier for the hot air to pass between the items to be dried, it is necessary to widen the space between each hanger. The size of the drying device must be large, and therefore the installation location is limited, and the hot air simply passes along the surface of the object to be dried, without passing through the object. It had the disadvantage of poor drying efficiency because it was exhausted outside the aircraft.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In conventional hot air dryers, the hot air only hits the surface of the material to be dried, so the proportion of hot air that contributes to evaporating the moisture in the material is low, and most of the hot air is directed toward the body of the machine. The drying efficiency was very poor because the air was exhausted outside, and when an attempt was made to improve this by narrowing the distance between the hangers, there was a problem that the areas in contact with the items to be dried would not dry.

This idea was made in order to solve the problems mentioned above.It improves drying efficiency, makes the main body smaller, prevents objects from blocking the net that serves as the surface on which the objects to be dried are placed, and allows warm air to flow through the net. The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying device for small articles that efficiently passes through the clothes.

[Means for solving problems]

The small clothes dryer according to this invention has a lower case with a built-in blower that blows air taken in from an intake port provided at the bottom upwards, and a heater with a ventilation section located in the center. A ventilation hole is provided to guide the air to the heater's ventilation area, and a partition plate attached to the top of the lower case is placed on top of the bowl-shaped heater with the concave part facing downward, allowing the hot air that has passed through the heater to flow in all directions. A drip-proof plate that is shaped like a bowl and is placed on the partition plate with a gap above the drip-proof plate with its concave portion facing downward, and also serves as a stand for placing the material to be dried. The net has a lid which is provided above the net and can be opened and closed with ventilation at the top, and a drying chamber is formed between the lid and the net, and is integrated with the lower case to form a box body. The net has a plurality of partition walls extending radially from the center on the side on which the items to be dried are placed. The height is high enough to allow a gap between the two, and the height gradually decreases toward the end.

[Effect]

In this device, the drip-proof plate, which is shaped like a bowl and placed on top of the heater with the concave part facing downward, diffuses the warm air that has passed through the heater in all directions and guides it upward. A net was placed on the bottom with a gap above the drip-proof plate, which also served as a platform for placing the items to be dried, and was provided extending radially from the center on the side of the net on which the items to be dried were placed. The height of the multiple partition walls is high at the center and gradually decreases toward the ends, so that the area on which the items to be dried, which is the surface through which hot air blows, is widened, and the area where the items to be dried are placed is wide. It is difficult to block the hot air blowing surface, and furthermore, hot air is prevented from leaking from the end.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the small clothes dryer of this invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the present invention, in which the main body 1 is composed of two parts, a lower case 2 and an upper case 3, and forms a box. Inside the lower case 2, a blower 6 is placed with an anti-vibration ring 7 interposed in alignment with the suction port 5 of the pedestal 4. Sound absorbing material A10 on the outer circumference of the inlet 5
The sound absorbing material B11 is provided at a position having a diameter larger than the diameter of the intake port 5 and smaller than the arc-shaped filter 9 attached to the intake port 8. A cord reel 12 is screwed to the bottom side. On the right side, there is a front plate 1 with a time switch 13 and a knob 14 attached.
5, the convex portion 16 at the upper end is inserted into the hole 18 of the upper case 3, and the lower end piece 17 is fixed with screws. 19
has rubber feet. And at the top of the blower 6,
A concave water receiving part 20 and a fixing part 2 that holds down the blower 6
1, the outer periphery is L-shaped 22, and there is a partition plate 24 that is tightly fitted to the lower case 2 via a rubber seal 23, and in the center of this partition plate 24 is a heater 25 having a ventilation part. The compressed air is heated and sent into the upper case 3 as warm air.
Immediately above the heater 25, a thermostat 27 is attached by a bowl-shaped drip-proof plate 26 with a concave portion facing downward.The thermostat 27 is also shaped like a bowl with a protruding central portion, that is, a shape with a concave portion facing downward. There is a net 29 which has ventilation holes 28 all over the surface and also serves as a stand for placing the items to be dried, and these are fixed and integrated with the upper case 3 to the lower case 2 with screws. This net 29 is provided with a plurality of partition walls 38 extending radially from the center on the side on which the items to be dried are placed, and these partition walls 38 have a height at the center that is high enough to create a gap between the top surface of the net and the items to be dried. It gradually becomes lower towards the end. A hinge 31 is provided at the top of the upper case 3, and the lid 30 can be opened and closed. Further, the lid 30 has an exhaust port 32 open therein. 3
3 is a handle whose shaft 34 is fitted into a shaft hole 35 of the upper case 3. The space between the net 29 of the upper case 2 and the lid 30 constitutes a drying chamber 36 in which small clothing items to be dried are placed. 37 is a partition wall that is longer than the range of the arc-shaped intake port 8.

Here, looking at the internal arrangement and air flow from the lower case to the upper case of this embodiment, first, after turning on the time switch 13, the air intake port 8 formed on the lower side of the lower case 2 The air passing through the filter 9 is taken in from the suction port 5 in the center along the sound absorbing material B11 from below the blower 6 above it, and an upward blowing force is applied thereto. The airflow passes through a ventilation hole (not shown) in the partition plate 24 and is directed to the heater 2 provided at the upper center of the blower 6.
5, where it is heated and becomes hot air, and the buoyancy due to the temperature difference caused by the heating is added to the rising airflow of the blower 6, and the hot air is further accelerated and rises. Next, in order to apply hot air to the entire object to be dried in the drying chamber 36, the hot air is diffused by the drip-proof plate 26, which has the function of a diffusion plate that diffuses the hot air in all directions and guides it upward, and the hot air is passed through the net 29. flows upward from the entire bottom surface of the material to be dried. The hot air containing moisture that has passed through the object to be dried is directly discharged from the main body 1 by the upward force through the exhaust port provided in the lid 30 of the upper case 3 without being subjected to any load. The net, which is the surface on which the objects to be dried are placed and the surface through which warm air blows, in the drying chamber 36 has a spherical shape that protrudes toward the upper case side, and is high in the center and gradually increases toward the ends. Since the lower partition wall 38 is provided, the mounting area, which is the surface through which warm air blows, is expanded, and the space between the drying material and the net is wide in the center, and gradually narrows at the ends. The objects to be dried are less likely to block the hot air blowing surface, and hot air is prevented from leaking from the ends. In other words, hot air is prevented from reaching the exhaust port 32 of the lid 30 without passing through the object to be dried.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to this invention, the drip-proof plate, which is shaped like a bowl and is placed on top of the heater with the concave part facing downward, diffuses the hot air that has passed through the heater in all directions and guides it upward. A net is installed with a gap above the drip-proof plate with its concave portion facing downwards, and serves as a mounting table for items to be dried, and extends radially from the center to the side of the net on which the items to be dried are placed. The height of the plurality of partition walls is high at the center and gradually decreases toward the ends, so that the area on which the materials to be dried, which is the surface through which warm air blows, is widened, and The objects to be dried are less likely to block the hot air blowing surface, and the hot air is prevented from leaking from the ends, allowing a stable supply of hot air and making effective use of the drying space.

In addition, by using a blower that generates compressed air that is greater than the air resistance of the object to be dried, hot air can be forced to pass through the entire object to be dried, allowing for efficient drying in a short time. Since dry items can be folded and stored, the main body can be made smaller, making it extremely practical as it saves space and is easy to use.
