Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To evenly dry a bathroom and to shorten the drying time by mounting an air blower and a heating device in a ventilating path which connects an inlet port facing to the bathroom and a blow-off port, and mounting a mechanism for varying the air speed and air direction of the hot air from the blow-off port by throttling an air duct area with a plurality of patterns, in the ventilating path. SOLUTION: A drying device body 1 mounted on a bathroom ceiling wall 2 takes the air in a bathroom 3 from an inlet port 4 by the operation of an integrated air blower 5, and sends the heated air from a blow-off port 10 toward a matter to be dried. A part of the taken air of high water content is exhausted from an exit 8 through a ventilating path 6, and the remains air is heated by a heat exchanger 9. On this occasion, the exhausted air quantity is adjusted by a damper 7, the air speed and air direction from the blow-off port 10 is changed by a ventilating path area adjusting part 11 with a plurality of patterns, and the hot air is evenly sent toward a specific area for efficiently drying the matter to be dried.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ventilation path connecting a suction port and a discharge port facing a bathroom, and a bathroom drying apparatus including a blower and a heating device located in the middle of the ventilation path.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a bathroom drying apparatus, a constant amount of warm air is blown from an outlet toward an object to be dried in a bathroom. Some have been reduced.

[0003]

However, in the conventional bathroom drying apparatus, when the length of the material to be dried in the bathroom is long or when the material to be dried is hung in close proximity, the hot air from the outlet is not heated. In some cases, it does not reach the object to be dried, leaving a dry residue, resulting in a longer drying time.

[0004] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bathroom drying apparatus capable of eliminating remaining dryness and shortening a drying time.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems and Their Functions and Effects To achieve the above object, a first aspect of the present invention is to provide a ventilation path connecting an inlet and an outlet facing a bathroom, a blower and a heating device located in the middle thereof. In the bathroom drying apparatus comprising: a mechanism for narrowing the air passage area in the ventilation passage and varying the wind speed and the wind direction of the warm air from the outlet in a plurality of patterns, so that the high-speed wind is periodically applied to the object to be dried. By applying, it is possible to eliminate dry residue and shorten the drying time.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram applied to a ceiling-installed bathroom drying apparatus as one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, a drying apparatus main body 1 is installed on a ceiling wall 2 of a bathroom. Air in the bathroom 3 is taken in from a suction port 4, and heated air is blown from an outlet 10 toward a material to be dried. doing.

During operation, the air in the bathroom 3 taken in by the blower 5 contains a large amount of moisture, and a part of the air is discharged from the ventilation port 8 through the ventilation passage 6, and the rest is heated by the heating device 9. , From the outlet 10.

The amount of discharged air is adjusted by the damper 7, and the wind speed and direction from the outlet are changed in a plurality of patterns by the ventilation passage area adjusting unit 11. FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the vicinity of the ventilation passage area adjusting unit 11 in the embodiment, and FIG. 3 is an example of a time chart of the operation in that case.

FIG. 2 shows a case in which a damper for adjusting the area of the ventilation passage is provided between the outlet of the heating device 9 and the outlet 10, and the position thereof is variable as A, B, and C. The air heated by the heating device 9 is uniformly introduced into the bathroom 3 from the outlet 10 at the damper position A, but the air passage is halved at the damper position B or C, and the air in the bathroom 3 is reduced. Introduced at higher speeds in certain directions.

[0011] Therefore, at the time of the damper position A, the warm air reaches the portion where the warm air did not reach, and the effect of flapping the material to be dried is obtained, so that the drying speed can be increased. FIG. 3 is a time chart relating to the damper position.
From the start of the operation or after the elapse of a specific time, the operation is repeatedly performed until the end of the operation or the elapse of the specific time at the positions T1 to T4 at the positions A, B, and C, respectively, and the warm air is periodically sent out in a certain pattern. .
