Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] "Industrial application field" This proposal concerns a tatami drying device.

``Conventional technology'' Traditionally, drying tatami in the sun took time, and it was difficult to dry the front and back sides of the tatami evenly, and it was difficult to dry a large amount of tatami in cloudy or rainy weather. .

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' The purpose of this invention is to provide a tatami drying device that can quickly and easily dry large amounts of tatami mats evenly, both sides, not only on sunny days but also on cloudy and rainy days.

"Means for solving the problem" In a drying device in which a box is equipped with an air heating device and a hot air agitation device, a plurality of support devices on both sides of the upright tatami mats are arranged in parallel in the depth direction from the opening/closing part of the box. At the same time, adjacent tips on the opening/closing part side of each of the supports are connected to form a guide surface, an upright tatami support space is interposed between the supports, and a support roller is provided at the bottom of each space. A tatami mat comprising a plurality of upright tatami bottom supports made of a plurality of tatami mats, the tatami mat being able to be supported upright on the bottom supports, and vertical ventilation spaces provided between each of the bottom supports and between each of the side supports. It consists of a drying device.

``Operation'' Therefore, the air heating section and the hot air stirring device are started, the opening/closing section is opened, and a plurality of wet tatami mats are stood upright and inserted into the tatami upright support space through the guide surfaces. At this time, since the leading end of the tatami mat is guided by the guide surface, the tatami mat can be easily inserted into the support space. Then, the tatami mat is pushed in and its lower surface is supported by an upright tatami lower surface support provided by support rollers. At this time, the lower surface of the tatami moves on the support rollers, so the tatami can be inserted into the back of the box with a light force. When the opening/closing part is closed, the hot air moves up and down through the vertical ventilation space provided between the side supports and the bottom support of the tatami mat, producing upward, downward, or lateral movement along the front and back surfaces of the upright tatami. Moisture inside the tatami is dissipated from the front and back surfaces of the tatami into the warm air flow, causing the inside of the tatami to dry rapidly. After drying, the opening/closing part is opened, the upright tatami mat is taken out of the machine box, and a new wet tatami mat is inserted in the same manner as described above and dried.

``Embodiment'' The machine box 1 is mounted on the loading platform of a small truck 9, and the opening/closing doors 10, 10 of the mechanical box 1 are provided on the rear side of the loading platform to form the opening/closing part 4. The box 1 is provided with an air heating device 2 such as a gas burner or an electric heater at the bottom or top, and a hot air stirring device 3 using an electric fan. Inside the machine box 1 thus constructed, a plurality of upright tatami side supports 5, 5 are formed in the shape of a frame with band plates in the depth direction (in front of the truck 9) from the opening/closing part 4. Provided above and below Box 1. The supports 5, 5 are connected in a boat shape with curved tips on the side of the opening/closing part 4 to form a guide surface 5'. An upright tatami support space 6 is interposed between the supports 5, 5, and
At the bottom of the space 6, tatami mat supports 7 are provided with support rollers. A vertical ventilation space 8 is provided between the supports 7, 7, and the above-mentioned both side supports 5, 5
A vertical ventilation space 8 is also provided between them.
In the figure, 11 indicates a chimney, 12 indicates a connection plate for the upper and lower supports 5, 5;
A space 13 is also provided in between. Also 14 is tatami, 15
is a through hole.

``Effects'' Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the advantage of being able to quickly and easily dry a large amount of tatami mats containing a lot of moisture, right down to the core, regardless of the climate. Furthermore, since the guide surfaces are formed by connecting the tips of both side supports of the upright tatami mats, when inserting the tatami mat into the upright tatami support space from the opening/closing part, the ends of the tatami mats are easily guided by the guide surfaces. The tatami mat can be inserted into the space. Furthermore, since the upright tatami lower surface support is formed by a support roller, the tatami can be inserted into the deep part of the machine box with a light force, making it easy to insert and remove the tatami from the machine box. can.
