Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a simple dryer that can be easily installed indoors, and more specifically, it is a dryer that can dry multiple objects at the same time using a heater as a heat source and natural convection. This is about a dryer that can be used.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a conventional drying method for naturally drying items to be dried such as bath towels. As shown in the figure, a rope 2 was stretched between two walls 1 of a room, and items to be dried, such as wet bath towels 3, were hung on the rope 2 to dry naturally. Moreover, when the rope 2 was not available, a wet bath towel 3 was hung on the backrest 4a of the chair 4 as shown in FIG. 13, or hung on the armrest 4b as shown in FIG. 14 to dry naturally.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional drying method as described above, when drying items are naturally dried in an inn, for example, the items to be dried that were used the previous day may not be dry. Or, if there was no rope, it was not possible to dry wet items, and it was unpleasant to have to put them in a bag while still wet. There is also the problem that if the product is dried on a chair or the like, it will stain the chair.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a simple dryer that can easily and reliably dry wet objects to be dried.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A dryer according to the present invention includes: a bottom plate having a plurality of intake ports; a case top plate covering the upper part of the main body; a main body case having a plurality of exhaust ports surrounding the main body; It consists of a heater attached to the main body case, and at least one pair of hanger bodies made up of a plurality of large and small hanger parts that independently rotate around a common rotation axis attached to the main body case.

[0006]

[Operation] After each hanger part of the hanger body is rotated to a desired position and the item to be dried is hung on each hanger part, electricity is applied to the heater to heat and dry the item to be dried.

[0007]

[Embodiment] Fig. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2
2 is a side view showing a part of FIG. 1 in cross section. Reference numeral 5 indicates a case top plate located on the upper part of the main body of the dryer, 6 indicates a main body case that covers the periphery of the main body of the dryer, and 6a indicates a plurality of exhaust ports provided at the lower part of the main body case 6. 7 is a bottom plate located at the bottom of the main body of the dryer, and 7a is a plurality of air intake ports provided in the bottom plate 7. 8 is a heater stand attached to the bottom plate 7 in the main body of the dryer, and 9 is a heater attached to the heater stand 8. 12 and 13 are main case 6
A first hanger and a second hanger are each independently rotatably attached to a shaft 10 fixed to the left and right side walls of the upper part of the hanger.
These hangers make up the hanger assembly 1.
1, the first hanger 12 is formed smaller than the second hanger 13, and rotates inside the frame formed by the second hanger 13.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of this embodiment. First, the first hanger 12 and the second hanger 13 are attached to the shaft 10.
After rotating the towels around each of them and fixing them at desired positions, the wet bath towels 3 are hung on the first hanger 12 and the second hanger 13, respectively. Next, when the heater 9 is energized, the air heated by the heater 9 is discharged to the outside from the exhaust port 6a, flows in the direction A, and directly dries the wet bath towel 3. At this time, indoor air is sucked into the dryer through the plurality of intake ports 7a. Note that the air heated by the heater 9 also reaches the upper part of the main body case 6 of the dryer, and the wet bath towel 3 is indirectly dried by the warmed main body case 6. After the bath towel 3 is dried, the heater 9 is turned off.

FIG. 4 is a side view showing an example of the dryer shown in FIG. 1 attached to a wall. 14 is a wall, and 15 is a fixture for attaching the dryer to the wall 14. According to this embodiment, since the dryer is attached to the wall 14, the floor area can be prevented from becoming narrow, and the floor area can be used effectively.

FIG. 5 is a side view showing an example of a stored state of the hanger assembly 11 of the dryer shown in FIG. 4. As shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, since the first hanger 12 and the second hanger 13 can be stored in close contact with the main body case 6, the hanger assembly 11 does not get in the way even when not in use.

FIG. 6 is a side view showing an example of a state in which the angles of the first hanger 12 and the second hanger 13 are changed with respect to the main body case 6. In this embodiment, the first hanger 12 and the second hanger 13 are The angle with respect to the main body case 6 when the hangers 13 of No. 2 are set in their respective positions is
The values decrease in order from those closest to . That is, the angle that the hanger assembly 11 makes with respect to the main body case 6 is such that the angle A of the first hanger 12 located on the inside is the largest, and the size of the angle B of the second hanger 13 located on the outside is the largest. It is best to use it so that it is smaller than this. In this way, the air discharged from the exhaust port 6a is distributed throughout the wet bath towel 3, etc., thereby increasing the drying effect.

FIG. 7 is a side view showing another embodiment of the present invention, in which hanger assemblies are attached to two locations on the dryer. That is, a hanger assembly 11 consisting of a shaft 10, a first hanger 12, and a second hanger 13.
In addition to this, a hanger assembly 1 further includes a shaft 10a, a first hanger 12a, and a second hanger 13a.
1a is attached.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of the dryer shown in FIG. 7. The first hanger 12, 12a and the second hanger 13, 13a of the hanger assembly 11, 11a,
After rotating around the shafts 10 and 10a and fixing them at desired positions, the wet bath towel 3 is placed on the first hanger 1.
2, 12a and the second hanger 13, 13a. Next, when the heater 9 is energized, the air heated by the heater 9 is discharged from the exhaust ports 6a and 6b to the left and right, forming a flow in the direction A, directly drying the wet bath towel 3. At this time, indoor air is taken into the dryer through the plurality of intake ports 7a. Note that the air heated by the heater 9 also reaches the upper part of the main body case 6 of the dryer, and the wet bath towel 3 is indirectly dried by the warmed main body case 6. After the bath towel 3 is dried, the heater 9 is turned off. In this embodiment, the hanger assembly 11
, 11a are attached to two locations on the body case 6, more bath towels 3, etc. can be dried than when the hanger body is attached only to one side.

FIG. 9 is a side view showing an example of a stored state of the hanger assemblies 11, 11a of the dryer shown in FIG. 7. Moreover, FIG. 10 shows the hanger assembly 11.
The first hanger 12, the second hanger 13 and the first hanger 12a, the second hanger of the hanger assembly 11a.
FIG. 3 is a side view showing an example of a state in which the angles of the hangers 13a of the two hangers 13a are changed with respect to the main body case 6.

FIG. 11 is a front view showing another embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 16 denotes a timer for controlling the heating time of the heater 9 by setting a desired energization time by the user, and is attached to the main body case 6 of the dryer. For example, 200V
When using electricity, it is economical because it can be used during late-night electricity and time-specific lighting hours.

[0016] In the above explanation, the case where one or two sets of hanger assemblies are provided is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and three or more sets may be provided. Furthermore, the number of hangers in each hanger assembly is not limited to two, but one or three.
You may provide more than one.

[0017]

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, since the hanger is integrated with the heater,
The items to be dried can be easily and reliably dried without taking up much space in the room, and are particularly effective when used in hotels, etc.
