Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is capable of applying a finishing agent to the inner surface of the drum of a drum rotary clothes dryer to prevent the generation of static electricity and give flexibility to the clothes to be dried in the drum. Regarding a finishing agent applicator.

Before explaining the present invention, first, an outline of a drum rotary clothes dryer in which the finish applicator of the present invention is used will be explained.

Figure 1 shows an example of a drum-rotating clothes dryer, in which 1 is an outer tank, 3 is a drum rotatably supported by the outer tank 1, 5 is a motor, and 6 is a drum that controls the rotation of the motor 5. 3 is a V-belt for transmitting the rotation of the motor 5 to the fan 8; 7 is a round belt for transmitting the rotation of the motor 5 to the fan 8; , when the switch 4 is operated, the drum 3 rotates and the clothes to be dried are agitated. On the other hand, the fan 8 also rotates to suck air through the intake port 9, and the sucked air passes through the intake opening 11 of the heater box 1°, is heated by the heater 12, and then passes from the drum intake port 13 to the drum 3. Guided within. Here, moisture in the clothes to be dried is evaporated, lint is removed by a filter 14, and then the clothes are exhausted from the exhaust utll+5 by a fan 8. In addition,
In the figure, reference numeral 16 denotes baffle plates provided at several locations on the inner peripheral surface of the drum to ensure sufficient agitation of the clothes.

-F In the drum-rotating clothes dryer as described above, as the clothes dry, static electricity is generated on the clothes due to friction between the clothes due to agitation and friction between the drum 3 and the clothes. The amount of static electricity generated varies depending on the material of the clothes to be dried and the combination of materials, but the amount of static electricity generated is especially significant when clothes made of nylon fibers and polyester fibers are put in and dried at the same time. gives a considerable impact.

The present invention provides a finish for drying clothes that enables a finishing agent to be effectively and easily attached to clothes in a P ram for the purpose of preventing the generation of static electricity and imparting flexibility to clothes. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a drug applicator.

An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 below. It has a cylindrical applicator body 18 that can be
8 is pivotally supported by the main body 17 so that a part of its circumferential surface protrudes beyond the opening 17'. Inside the main body 17 there is a partition plate 21.
22 is provided with its bottom separated from the bottom plate 28 of the main body 17, and the partition plate 21.22 and the side wall 29 have two rooms 19.20 facing each other with the application body 18 in between, and have an open part 23.24. It is formed by On the other hand, the side wall 29 is provided with a communication section 25.26, and the communication section 25.26 allows the rooms 19 and 20 to be connected to the room 27 formed by the side wall 29.
It communicates with.

The finishing agent applicator of the present invention constructed as described above contains a liquid finishing agent in the main body and is used by being attached to the drum 3 of the clothes dryer as described above.

Next, the principle of operation of this finish applicator will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8.

As mentioned above, since this finishing agent applicator is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the drum 3, it rotates once when the drum 3 makes one revolution. During this rotation, the liquid finishing agent A placed in the finishing agent applicator main body 17 moves. FIG. 5 shows the finishing agent applicator main body 17 at the top of rotation, in an inverted state. At this time, finishing agent A is held separately in chamber 19 and chamber 20. FIG. 6 shows a state in which the drum 3 is rotated and the finish applicator main body 17 is positioned horizontally on the left side. At the top (Fig. 5), of the finish machining A divided into chamber 19, chamber 20, and chamber 27, the part kept in chamber 2o passes from communication section 26 to chamber 27, and from communication section 25 to chamber 19. Inflow. When further rotated, as shown in FIG.
3 flows along the bottom plate 28, and from the opening part 24 to the room 2o
flows into. At this time, the flowing finishing agent A is attached to and contained in the application body 18. As the rotation progresses further, the finishing agent A is held in the chamber 2o as shown in FIG.
5, it flows into the room 19 and returns to the state shown in FIG. On the other hand, the applicator 18 containing finishing agent A rotates upon contact with the clothes to be dried, thereby applying finishing agent A to the clothes to be dried. Since the drum 3 dries the clothes while rotating 50 times per minute, the finishing agent A is applied almost evenly to the clothes to be dried. In addition, the positional state of the finishing agent A in FIGS. 5 to 8 is a diagram when the drum 3 is rotated slowly in order to explain the present invention in detail, and the drum 3 is rotated at a rate of 50 rotations per minute. Although the case is slightly different due to the inertial force caused by rotation, the intended purpose is fully achieved.

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible to effectively apply a finishing agent within a clothes dryer, thereby making it possible to eliminate shocks caused by static electricity at the end of drying. Furthermore, since the finishing agent can be applied inside the clothes dryer, the finishing process during washing can be omitted.

Furthermore, since the finishing agent applicator according to the present invention uses a liquid finishing agent, it has many advantages such as being able to use a commonly available finishing agent as is.
