Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase a drying speed of clothes in a clothes drying machine. CONSTITUTION:This ball is made up of a highly moisture absorbable material in a shape of a ball 1 being hollow 2 inside and a holes 3 are provided all over the entire surface. The surface of the ball may be covered with a cloth to prevent the moisture absorbed from returning.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to balls for use in clothes dryers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A clothes dryer has a problem that it takes too much time to dry clothes. For this, improvement of hot air blowing method into the drying chamber, rotation method inside the drying chamber, design inside the drying chamber, etc. However, these are improvements only to the device body, and there is a limit to the improvement of the problem of shortening the clothes drying time.

[0003]

If there is a limit to the improvement of the equipment body as a method for increasing the clothes drying speed of the clothes dryer, the remaining one is to do something to the damp clothes in the dryer. Is. If there is an object that absorbs moisture from damp clothes in the dryer, and an object that creates a space for hot air to efficiently flow between clothes, the drying speed of clothes in the clothes dryer will be It will speed up.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems A dryer ball according to the present invention solves the above problems and is as follows. A ball for a dryer, characterized in that the shape is a sphere 1, the inside is a hollow 2, and a hole 3 is provided on the surface of the sphere 1. Further, the outside of the ball can be covered with a cloth 4 having a property that the absorbed moisture does not return. The size of the ball is about the size of a ball for baseball, and the material has a high hygroscopic property and a high drying speed.
Then, the holes 3 are provided over the entire surface of the ball. As for the shape of this hole, various holes such as a circle, a triangle, and a square can be considered.

[0005]

The ball for a dryer according to the present invention is used as follows. That is, when putting wet clothes and the like taken out from the dehydration tub of the washing machine into the drying chamber, about 3 to 6 balls for the dryer are put together with the clothes and the like. When the amount of clothes is small, the number of dryer balls may be small. In addition, it is effective to put the balls for the dryer between clothes or the like so as to sandwich them. After the dryer is operated, the shape is spherical 1 and the inside is hollow 2, so that the inside of the drying chamber smoothly rotates and a space is created between the clothes, so that the efficiency of hot air in the drying chamber increases. Next, since the ball is made of a material having high hygroscopicity, the ball comes into contact with the clothes or the like in the drying chamber, so that the ball absorbs the moisture of the clothes or the like. Also, when covered with the cloth 4 that prevents the moisture absorbed on the surface of the ball from returning, moisture does not transfer from the ball to the clothing. When the holes 3 are provided all over the surface of the ball, it has the effect of accelerating the efficiency of the hot air in the drying chamber and also has the effect of drying the ball itself in the drying chamber faster.

【Example】

Example 1 FIG. 1 is a front view showing Example 1. The shape is a sphere 1, the inside is hollow 2, and a circular hole 3 is provided on the entire surface of the sphere 1.

Second Embodiment FIG. 3 is a front view showing a second embodiment. The shape is spherical 1 and the inside is hollow 2.

Third Embodiment FIG. 4 is a front view showing a third embodiment. The shape is a sphere 1, the inside is hollow 2, a circular hole 3 is provided on the entire surface of the sphere 1, and a cover 4 is provided to prevent moisture absorbed by the ball from returning. .

Fourth Embodiment FIG. 5 is a front view showing a fourth embodiment. The shape is spherical 1 and the inside is hollow 2, and circular and triangular holes 3 are provided on the entire surface of the spherical 1.

[0010]

Since the material has a high hygroscopic property, it absorbs the moisture of clothes and the like in the drying chamber. Further, when the cloth 4 is covered to prevent the sucked water from returning, moisture does not transfer from the balls to the clothes. Since the shape is spherical 1, it smoothly rotates in the drying chamber and creates a space between the clothes, which improves the efficiency of hot air. Since the holes 3 are formed on the entire surface and the inside is hollow 2, the balls themselves are also dried in the dryer, so that the clothes drying speed in the drying chamber is increased.
