2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional dryer, a material to be dried is put in a heated rotary cylinder, and the laundry is forced into contact with a heated cylindrical wall by a centrifugal force generated by rotating the material. Heating and sending hot air into the cylinder to evaporate and dry the moisture of the object to be dried, and the object to be dried hung inside the box with a hot air generator installed at the bottom of the vertically long box Was dried with warm air from below.

[0003]

In the conventional rotary dryer, the laundry after dehydration is put into a heated rotary cylinder,
The laundry is forcibly heated by centrifugal force generated by rotating it, and is brought into close contact with the heated cylindrical wall, and heated by sending warm air into the cylinder to evaporate and dry the moisture of the laundry. However, because of the forced pressure that the laundry is brought into close contact with the heated cylindrical wall by centrifugal force, the wrinkles of the object to be dried caused by this are dried and fixed as it is, Since the material to be dried is directly pressed against the heated cylindrical wall and heated, it is possible to avoid the adverse effect of deteriorating the fiber to be dried and the rubber used in socks and the like. Did not.

In a conventional dryer of the type in which a warm air generator is provided at the bottom of a vertically long box and the object to be dried suspended inside is dried with warm air from below, the object to be dried is rotary-dried. There was no damage to fibers or rubber like a machine, and no wrinkles were generated by forced pressing, but none of them had a hot water function.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide an unprecedented dryer capable of drying without damaging the material to be dried and improving the effect of hot water.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, in a dryer according to the present invention, a hot air generator and a hot air generator are provided at the bottom of a vertically long box having a suitable space for venting air at the ceiling. It has an electric box provided with a control room containing a control electric circuit, and has a structure in which air for blowing is taken in through a desiccant room provided on a side surface of the electric box and guided to a hot air generator.

In operation of the hot air generator, the electric control circuit sets a drying mode of continuous hot air blowing, and after raising the internal temperature of the housing to a constant value, stops only the air blowing to keep only the internal temperature of the housing constant. Fill the inside with moisture evaporating from the dried material while keeping it, and after a predetermined time, restart the hot air blowing again and set up two programs of hot water mode to clear the internal humidity by setting , Drying and hot water are possible.

A ventilation section in the electric box is provided with a dehumidification chamber containing a commercially available dehumidifier so that dried air is sent into the drying chamber through a hot air generator.

Is provided with a door portion 4 and can be opened and closed by a fastener 5. The ceiling portion has a skirt portion 8 in which the entire outer peripheral portion is slightly opened in a skirt shape at the lower portion.
, The upper side of the surrounding sheet 3 is hidden by the skirt portion, and at this time, a small gap is left between the skirt portion 8 and the surrounding sheet 3.

An operation panel 2 provided on the front of the electric box 1 shown in FIG. 3 has a power mode switch 13 and a start switch 14, as well as a drying mode switch for selectively using two programs of a drying mode and a hot water mode. The unit 15 has a hot water mode switch 16 unit, the hot water mode switch unit 16 has one hot water mode switch 18, and the dry mode unit 15 has a large amount of material to be dried and a small thickness. In order to cope with the difference in the drying speed of the hot air, the blowing amount of the blowing fan 23 of the hot air generating device 22 is automatically adjusted to a large, medium or small amount so that the user can select it as needed. There are provided three types of drying mode switches 17 for selection,
All switches are provided with an energization display lamp 19 for displaying the energization operation state.

FIG. 4 shows the inside of the electric box 1, which comprises an electric room 20 containing all electric circuits and control electronic parts, a desiccant room 21, and a hot air generator 22.

The desiccant chamber 21 is always in communication with the outside air through a vent hole 22, and the air sent from the blower fan 24 of the hot air generator 23 is supplied therethrough.
The hot air sent to is dried.

The desiccant used in the desiccant chamber 21 does not need to be a particular one. In FIG. 4, a commercially available rod-shaped desiccant 28 is used, but this may be a pellet-shaped desiccant such as silica gel. At that time, the storage portion for the desiccant is a box-shaped drawer type.

As shown in FIG. 4, the hot air generator 23 includes a blower fan 24 for blowing air and a sheath heater 26 for heating the blower to generate hot air.

[0015]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

The lower portion of the ceiling has a double structure of a cap sheet and a surrounding sheet, and a gap is provided in an overlapping portion, so that warm air from a warm air generator provided in an electric box forming a bottom of a drying chamber is provided. Is dried while passing between the objects to be dried in the drying chamber from bottom to top, and is sent out.

Since the hot air sent from the hot air generator passes through the desiccant chamber and is dry air with low humidity, the drying effect is further enhanced and the desiccant chamber is always in contact with the outside air. Therefore, it also has the effect of drying the air humidified by the moisture of the object to be dried sent out by the hot air drying to the outside, thereby lowering the indoor humidity.

By equipping two kinds of operation software programs, a drying mode and a hot water mode, it was possible to have both performances of a drying mode and a hot water mode.

In the drying mode, the laundry suspended inside is dried by continuous hot air from below,
It can be dried without deteriorating the fibers and rubbers of clothes.

In the hot water mode, when the air is stopped, the internal air pressure does not greatly differ from the external air pressure. Therefore, the leakage of the high humidity air from the upper gap is very small, and the inside of the dryer is small. Due to the high humidity, the hot water effect can be advanced.
