And the warm air unit 1 connected to the heater 6 side and the suction port 3 connected to the dehumidifier 8 side.

The shelves 5 have a frame 13 assembled into a substantially rectangular shape which is slightly smaller than the inner size of the storage case 4, and the piers 15 are arranged side by side so as to be positioned substantially symmetrically. Plate members 14 are provided at both end portions on the upper surface side of the frame body 13 so that the upper side is opened, and are formed in a pallet shape.

The warm air unit 10 is, as shown in FIG.
In a case 9 made of a resin molded product having heat resistance and water resistance, a heater 6, a blower 7, and a dehumidifier 8 are arranged in this order from the back side.

The case 9 has a lower box 17 formed so as to be substantially fitted in the openings 16 between the ledges 15 of the shelf body 5, and an upper plate 1 formed so as to be substantially laid between the plate members 14 and laid on the ledge 15.
8, the upper plate 18 is formed wide so as to project from both sides of the lower box 17, and is formed in a substantially T-shaped cross section.
The case 9 is provided on the shelf body 5 by fixing the projecting portion 19 of the upper plate 18 and the splint 15 of the shelf body 5 with the screws 20, and at that time, the upper plate 18 is attached to the shelf board 5. It is designed so as to also serve as the plate material 14 of the above. The upper plate 18, which also serves as the plate member 14, has the suction port 3 on the front side and the warm air blowing port 1 on the back side. In the lower box 17, a long hole 21 is formed at the lower end of the front surface and a pair of small holes 22 is formed at the back surface. In addition, in the frame 13 of the shelf 5,
The long hole 21 and the small hole 22 are formed so as to correspond to the long hole 21 and the small hole 22 of the case 9.

The heater 6 uses a hot water type heater, and both ends of the hot water pipe 23 project from the pair of small holes 22 to the outside of the case 9 and the shelf 5, and the hot water pipe 23 has both ends. , A male connector 24 is attached.

The blower 7 uses a propeller fan. As the dehumidifier 8, an electronic dehumidifier using the Peltier effect is used, and a cartridge-type water receiving vat 25 is provided below. The water receiving vat 25 is removably inserted into the slot 9 formed in the case 9 and the shelf 5 so that the moisture removed by the dehumidifier 8 can be stored and discharged.

As shown in FIG. 3, the storage box 4 is composed of the most general push-in closet, and a plurality of shelves 12 are fixed on the inner surfaces of both sides at corresponding height positions. Further, the back plate 26 is provided with female connected members 27 into which male connecting members 24 attached to both ends of the heater 6 are fitted and connected by one-touch according to the number of stages of the shelf supports 12. ing. The connected tool 27 is attached to a pipe for hot water supply / discharge arranged in the rear of the storage 4.

In this drying device, the connecting tool 24 and the connected tool 27 are inserted and connected by one-touch by erected on the shelf support 12 of the storage box 4 and pushing it strongly to the back side, and hot water is supplied to the heater 6. Since it can be sent, it is possible to easily change the internal volume of the drying chamber 2 formed above the shelf body 5 by providing it on the upper portion or the lower portion of the storage case 4 depending on the amount of the futon 11 or the like to be dried. it can. Further, since the dehumidifier 8 is arranged on the frontmost side, the water receiving vat 25 can be easily put in and taken out. Further, since the heater 6 composed of a hot water heater is arranged at the innermost side, the length of the hot water pipe 23 up to the position for heating the sucked air can be minimized, and the heat quantity due to heat radiation or the like can be reduced. The loss can be minimized.

The drying apparatus of FIG. 4 is an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention, in which the warm air unit 10 is provided in the central portion of the shelf 5 and the warm air units 10 are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the warm air unit 10. It is characterized in that the outlet 1 is located.

The shelf 5 is made of a resin molded product having heat resistance and water resistance, and has a front opening formed into a thin box-like shape having a size substantially the same as the inner size of the storage case 4 having a space of about one. .
Further, two suction ports 3 and two warm air outlets 1 are formed on the upper surface, the suction ports 3 are located at both ends, and the warm air outlets 1 are approximately in the middle of the left and right half portions. positioned.

The warm air unit 10 is, as shown in FIG.
A case 9 made of a resin molded product having the same heat resistance and water resistance as the shelf 5 is formed by arranging the heater 6, the blower 7, and the dehumidifier 8 in that order from the back side.

The case 9 comprises a lower box 17 and an upper plate 18, and the lower box 17 is formed integrally with the shelf 5. Upper plate 1
8 is formed to be slightly larger than the upper opening size of the lower box 17 so that the peripheral edge is fixed to the upper surface of the shelf body 5 by the screw 20. A rubber packing 28 is attached to the lower surface side peripheral edge of the upper plate 18 in order to improve the airtightness of the case 9. Further, exhaust ports 29 are formed on the inner sides of the left and right side surfaces of the lower box 17, respectively, and the shelves 5 are provided via ducts 30.
The hot air outlet 1 is connected to the hot air outlet 1, and the inlets 31 are formed on the front sides of the left and right side surfaces, respectively, and are connected to the inlet 3 of the shelf 5. The intake port 31
The duct 30 for connecting the suction port 3 with the suction port 3 uses the space inside the shelf 5 having airtightness without separately providing it. Further, a long hole 21 is formed at the lower end of the front surface of the lower box 17.

The heater 6 is a salamic heater, and the blower 7 is a sirocco fan.

Further, as the dehumidifier 8, the electronic dehumidifier 8 using the Peltier effect is used as in the above-mentioned embodiment, and a cartridge type water receiving vat 25 is provided below. The water receiving vat 25 stores the water removed by the dehumidifier 8 and discharges it from the case 9
It is inserted into and removed from the long hole 21 formed in.

In this drying device, dried hot air is blown from the hot air outlets 1 fixedly provided on both inner surfaces of the storage case 4 on both sides of the hot air unit 10 substantially symmetrically on the shelves. It can be fed into the drying chamber 2 formed above the body 5.

A partition plate for partitioning the inside of the drying chamber 2 into right and left may be provided above the warm air unit 10. In that case, dampers may be provided at the left and right hot air outlets 1 so that the hot air can be sent to only one of them.

[0031]

As described above, in the drying apparatus of the present invention, the warm air unit 10 is provided in the shelf body 5, and the heater 6, the blower 7, the dehumidifier 8 and the like are provided in the storage space in the storage cabinet 4. Since it hardly protrudes, the storage space can be effectively used without lowering the storage capacity of the storage case 4 such as a closet. Moreover, the moist air in the drying chamber 2 is taken in through the suction port 3, the moist air in the drying chamber 2 taken in through the suction port 3 is sent to the dehumidifier 8 side, is dried by the dehumidifier 8, and is dried by the blower 7. Air is sent to the heater 6 side and heated by the heater 6, and dried hot air is sent into the drying chamber 2 from the hot air outlet 1, so that the air flow, especially the air flow in the warm air unit 10 is smooth. Therefore, the drying efficiency can be improved.

When the warm air unit 10 is provided at the center of the shelf 5 and the warm air outlets 1 are positioned substantially symmetrically on both sides, the pressure loss, the heat radiation and the like become substantially equal, and both sides of the shelf 5 are Since the dried warm air can be sent into the drying chamber 2 substantially evenly, even if the futon 11 or the like is housed so as to be located on both sides of the warm air unit 10, the drying can be performed substantially evenly without causing uneven drying. Is something that can be done.
