Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a support plate that supports the rear part of a rotating drum of a clothes dryer. It is something to do.

This will be explained below based on the drawings.

1 is a frame, 2 is a frame front plate having a clothes input port 3, and a donut-shaped warm air guide plate 4 is attached to the front plate 2.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a rotary drum for storing dry matter, the front part of which is supported by a metal 6 on the opening edge of the guide plate 4, and the rear part rotatable by a shaft 8 fixed to a support plate I attached to the frame 1, which will be described later. is supported by

Reference numeral 9 denotes a bearing provided at the center of the rear plate 10 of the drum, and by inserting the shaft 8 into the bearing 9, the drum 5 can be freely rotated about the shaft 8.

A fan casing 11 is attached to the support plate 7, and a fan 12 is rotatably provided within the casing 11.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a pulley loosely fitted to the shaft 8, and the fan 12
The pulley 13 is rotated by a motor 15 via a belt 14, and the drum 5 is also rotated by the motor 15 via a belt 16.

A heating chamber 17 has a heater 18 inside, and a fan 1
2, outside air is sucked into the heating chamber 17 through the filter 19 and heated, and the drum 5 is heated as shown by the arrow in FIG.
It is sent into the drum through the through hole 21 provided in the front plate 20 of the
After drying the dried material, it is discharged to the outside through the filter 22, the fan casing 11, and the exhaust port 23 provided in the casing 11.

24 and 25 are drum seals that prevent heated air from leaking out of the drum; 26 is a rear cover; and 27 is a door.

The support plates 7 are provided on both sides 1' of the frame.

Flange 28°28 provided by bending the rear edge of 1' inward
Conventionally, the support plate 7 has a rectangular shape as shown in FIG. 3, and is screwed 29' to the outer surface of the flanges 28 and 28.

Therefore, if the dryer is rotated backwards during packing, etc., the support plate 7'
The support plate T' is subjected to a force that tends to jump out backwards, but since all of this force is applied to the screw 29', the support plate T' easily comes off, which poses a problem in terms of strength.

To solve this problem, if the support plate 7' is attached to the inner surface of the flange 28, the force acting on the support plate 1' during backward rotation will be received by the flange 28, 28, so it will not come off easily and the strength can be increased. However, with the support plate 7' having the shape as shown in FIG. 3, the diagonal length l is longer than the frame width, so it has been impossible to attach the support plate to the inner surface of the flange.

The present invention has been made in view of this point, and as shown in FIG. By inserting the shaft 8, which is fixed to the support plate as shown by the chain line, into the bearing 9 and then rotating it counterclockwise,
The support plate 1 is L-shaped so that both ends of the support plate 1 can be attached to the inner surfaces of the flanges 2B and 2B with screws 29.

To remove it, simply rotate it clockwise.

32 is a flange portion to which the fan casing 11 is attached.

Therefore, according to the structure of the present invention, since the support plate 7 is bridged diagonally, it can be easily attached to the inner surface of the flange 28, 28, and as a result, when the main body of the dryer is rotated backwards, the force applied to the support plate 7 is absorbed by the frame. The support plate can be received by the flanges 2B and 28 at both ends of the frame, making it difficult for the support plate to come off and increasing its strength against the force that tries to jump out backwards.Also, since the support plate is attached diagonally, it can be used as a reinforcing plate for the frame. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a drum support plate that exhibits various effects such as being able to further improve the functions of the drum.
