Abstract

PURPOSE: To quickly perform drying in a narrow installation space and to prevent the generation of noise problems by performing division into a main body case and a front surface case, providing the bottom part of the main body case with a heater part and an air blowing part, providing the upper part with a hanger part and an exhaust filter and performing natural drying by hot air. CONSTITUTION: A case is constituted by dividing the case into the main body case and the front surface case and a front surface door and a control panel are attached to the front surface case. Partition plates 5 and 6 with holes are slidably fitted to the lower part of the main body case and the front surface case, the heater part 7 and the air blowing part 8 are installed to the bottom part of the main body case, the hanger part 9 and the exhaust filter 10 are installed to the upper part and the natural drying by the hot air is performed. By the constitution, since air heated by the heater part 7 at the lower part is sent into a drying room at the upper part by the air of the air blowing part 8 by the wind pressure of a certain degree, the drying is quickly performed. Also, wrinkles are not made since the drying is performed while being put on hangers, a fan motor can be a small size and noise is hardly generated.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The dryer according to the present invention is used for drying laundry safely, quickly and naturally.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally used full-scale laundry dryers put laundry in a rotary drum, drain the laundry by rotating the drum vertically, and remove warm air from the drum. I am trying to speed up the drying by sending it inside. As a dryer other than that, a device for drying towels hung in the case by blowing warm air into a case covered with a plastic sheet can be seen as a simple drying device.

[0003]

In the conventional dryer for laundry, the method of putting laundry in a drum and blowing warm air into the drum while rotating the drum vertically is the mainstream. The one intended for natural drying is not used much because it has a drawback in air circulation and the structure has not been fully studied. Since there are many problems in the method of rotating the drum, it cannot be said to be a preferable method. First of all, since you have to put the laundry in the drum and rotate it,
The amount of laundry that can be put in is extremely small and it is easy to wrinkle. Since the drum is rotated vertically so that the laundry can fly in the drum, a large amount of force is required to rotate the drum. As a result, a large motor is required and the noise of the motor becomes loud. Since the warm air is blown while rotating the laundry, cotton dust is generated and the exhaust filter is easily clogged. As described above, the conventional dryer has many problems to be solved, and there is a demand for a dryer that has a high drying speed, is naturally dried, does not wrinkle, and can safely dry a large amount of laundry. Furthermore, it must be a full-scale dryer that requires less storage space.

[0004]

The dryer according to the present invention has a main body case and a front case which are separately formed so that the dryer can be stored in a narrow space. The front case covers the main body case and the dryer is used. To do this, slide the front case out of the main case, open the front door attached to the front case, and hang the laundry on the hanger inside. Small items such as socks and handkerchiefs should be hung with clothespins. Below the main case and the front case, a pan-bottom type partition plate with a lower inside and a higher outside is attached. Make sure that the partition plate of the front case slides in different steps from the main case so that the main case and the front case do not hit. There is a small hole on the outside of this partition so that warm air sent from under the partition enters the drying chamber above the partition. The heater and blower are installed on the bottom of the main unit case below the partition plate. The heater has a built-in temperature sensor to prevent overheating. A fan motor is used for the blower section to move the warm air from the heater section and send it into the drying room above. A hole for exhaust is made in the upper plate of the upper drying chamber and an exhaust filter is attached to adjust the temperature and air flow in the drying chamber. There is a hole in the blower section where the fan motor is activated so that outside air can be taken in. Instructions for operating the dryer according to the present invention are given on the control panel mounted on the front surface.

[0005]

In the dryer thus constructed, the air warmed by the lower heater section is blown into the drying chamber in the upper section by the wind of the blower section with a certain wind pressure, so that the warm air flows from the bottom to the top of the laundry. Even if water drops fall from the laundry, they gather inside the partition plate and do not affect the heater. You can also place a hole in the partition plate to drain water that has fallen. In this way, since warm air passes through the inside and outside of the laundry, it dries quickly and can be dried while hanging on the hanger without wrinkling. It has a very rational function as a dryer. Less clogging of the exhaust filter,
The operation is also easy.

EXAMPLES Examples will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a front view of a dryer according to the present invention. The front case 2 is provided with the front door 3 and the control panel 4, and the upper portion is provided with the exhaust filter 10.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the dryer according to the present invention as viewed from the front. The lower partition plates 5 and 6 separate the bottoms of the heater section 7 and the blower section 8 from the upper drying chamber, and the ceiling of the drying chamber has a hanger 9 and an exhaust filter 10.

FIG. 3 is a side view of the dryer according to the present invention. 1 shows a state in which the front case 2 covers the main body case 1.

FIG. 4 is a side view of the dryer according to the present invention. The front case 2 is pulled out from the main body case 1,
The state where the intake port 11 is exposed is shown.

FIG. 5 is a top view of the dryer according to the present invention. The state where the exhaust filter 10 is attached to the main body case 1 is shown. Also, the front case is pulled out and is in a usable state.

[0011]

As described above, in the dryer according to the present invention, the air warmed by the lower heater section is blown into the upper drying chamber by the wind of the blowing section at a certain wind pressure, so that the drying is fast and can be applied to the hanger. Since it can be dried as it is, it does not wrinkle. Although a conventional drum-type dryer has a noise problem, the dryer according to the present invention has a fan motor of a small size, which hardly causes a noise problem. Since the front case expands and contracts from the main case, the depth is 40 cm or less when contracted, and it can be used even in a narrow space. The height is almost the same as the conventional dryer. Moreover, the cost can be significantly reduced compared to the conventional dryer.
