Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a dryer that can easily dry tableware, knives, dish towels, etc.

In particular, in this invention, the hot air discharged from the hot air generator is further dried by improving the configuration of the air path and hot air blowing plate, changing the wind speed of the hot air, and setting areas where hot air is discharged in a concentrated manner. This aims to improve efficiency and expand its application to other areas.

This invention will be explained below according to an illustrated embodiment.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a hot air generator, in which a blower 2 and a semiconductor heater 3 are attached to a support plate 4 and covered with a cover 5.

A duct 6 discharges the wind that has passed through the semiconductor heater 3 in a downwardly expanding direction.

The hot air generator 1 is detachably provided on one side of the base portion 7.

The base portion 7 has a horizontal plane portion, and a hot air plate 8 is detachably attached to the upper surface of the base portion 7.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a large number of hot air discharge holes formed in the hot air plate 8.

10 is a hot air space formed corresponding to the lower surface side of the hot air plate 8, and has a substantially flat shape, and the hot air from the duct 6 is transmitted through this hot air space to the hot air of the hot air plate 8. It is discharged outward from the discharge hole 9.

Reference numeral 11 is a damper provided at the lower part of the hot air plate 8, and reference numeral 12 is a handle at the rear of the damper, which is slidably operated on the hot air plate 8.

13 is a timer knob, 14 is a drainer basket, 15 is a lid, and 16 is an exhaust hole provided in the lid.

17 is tableware. In the structure consisting of the above,
As shown in FIG. 1, when drying tableware, etc., hot air is discharged from the duct 6 at approximately 60 to 65°C from the hot air outlet 9 of the hot air plate 8.
The warm air is uniformly discharged and flows through the gaps between the tableware placed on the hot air plate 6, so that the tableware can be efficiently dried.

Furthermore, this dryer can dry tableware by placing it directly on the hot air plate 8-H as shown in Figure 2, so for example,
It can also be used to preheat a coffee cup or to dry and preheat washed dishes.

In particular, this invention relates to improvements in direct use on the hot air plate 8, and as shown in Figure 2, the damper 11
When the discharge hole at the rear of the hot air plate 8 is closed by sliding the hot air plate 8, the hot air is discharged from the front discharge hole, and by halving the area of the discharge hole 9, the hot air speed is doubled, further improving drying efficiency. It is possible to do so.

In the above embodiment, half of the plurality of discharge holes 9 of the hot air plate 8 are opened and closed by the damper 11 to change the total discharge hole area of the discharge holes 9. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 4, the hot air plate 8 may be modified by providing a plate 11' having a blind portion over the many exhaust holes 9 to cover some of them. However, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a changeover valve 11'' for changing the volume of the effective space between the hot air plate 8 and the base portion 7 may be provided.

Therefore, according to this invention, the speed of the hot air can be controlled by reducing the area of the discharge hole 9 of the hot air plate 8 with a simple structure, which makes it possible to improve the drying efficiency and improve the drying efficiency. This has a great practical effect in expanding the use of vessels.
