Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention aims to provide a dehydrator that improves the dehydration inner pig attached to the dehydration receiving cover, ensures the operation of the dehydration inner pig handle, and pursues rationality. be.

The conventional example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be explained below.

1 is an outer box of the dehydrator, 2 is a dehydration tank that is installed with its upper edge placed inside the outer box 1 of the dehydrator, and 3 is an upper opening that is rotated by a motor (not shown) placed at the bottom inside the outer box. A cylindrical dehydration cylinder 4 is a dehydration receiver cover placed on the upper end of the dehydration tank 2 above the dehydration capacity 3, and the rear side is sandwiched between the dehydration tank 2 and the panel part 5.
The front part is engaged with a protrusion 6 provided on the upper end surface of the dehydration tank 2.

The dehydration receiver cover 4 is provided with a clothes input lower in the center and a thin walled part 8 between the clothes input lower and the panel part 5, so that the clothes do not jump out of the dehydration tube 3 and fall into the dehydration tank 2.
If the user falls onto the inner bottom, the user can detach the front edge of the dehydration receiver cover 4 from the protruding part 6 at the upper end of the dehydration tank 2 (using the elasticity of the resin) and rotate it around the thin wall part 8 as a fulcrum. It is said that

Reference numeral 9 denotes a dehydration inner holder placed on the dehydration receiving cover 4. The left and right boss portions 10 provided at the rear are inserted into the holes 11 of the dehydration receiving cover to set them. A handle portion 14 that is engaged by the force of a spring 13 is incorporated into a substantially-shaped hook portion 12 provided in the housing.

This dehydration inner lid 9 is provided to prevent accidents caused by the user's rotation of dehydration.
After confirming that dehydration has stopped from step 5, the handle part 14 is pushed up backward against the force of the spring 13 and can be rotated about the boss part 10 as a fulcrum.

Here, the engagement of the handle part 14 with the L-shaped hook part 12 is meaningless if it can be easily removed, and the biasing force of the spring 13 needs to have a good feel for operability.

For this reason, the operating force of the handle portion 14 was set to about 500 to 1000 g.

However, in such a conventional example, due to variations in component dimensions and assembly, etc., the engagement allowance X of the handle part 14 varies, the dehydration inner lid 9 becomes easily detached, or the operating force of the handle part 14 changes. This resulted in unfavorable results in terms of safety and quality.

The present invention eliminates the disadvantages of the conventional example and provides a dehydrator that is reasonable in terms of cost, and will be explained below with reference to FIG. 3.

In the description, only the parts that are different from the conventional example will be explained, and the same parts are given the same reference numerals.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a dehydration receiving cover, which is integrally formed with the dehydration inner lid part 9 via a thin hinge part, and has a tooth-shaped uneven part C on the rear mating surface of both parts.

Reference numeral 23 designates a thin wall portion provided at the rear of the dehydration inner lid 9, 24 represents a clothing inlet provided at the dehydration receiving cover 21, and 25 represents a thin wall portion provided at the rear of the dehydration receiving cover 21.

Reference numeral 14 designates a handle portion that is the same as the conventional one, and constitutes a locking means for opening and closing the dehydration inner lid, and is engaged with the abbreviated hook portion 22 in front of the dehydration receiving cover 21 by the force of a spring 13. By operating the dehydration inner lid 9, the dehydration inner lid 9 opens and closes using the thin wall portion 23 for the hinge as a fulcrum.

The panel portion 5 is sandwiched between the dehydration tank 2 and the thin wall portion 23.25 of the dehydration receiving cover 21, the dehydration inner lid 9 portion, and the thin hinge portion.

In such a configuration, the L-shaped hook portion 2 of the handle portion 14
2 can be easily and reliably secured by moving the mating surface of the tooth-shaped concavo-convex part C through the thin hinge part according to the desired dimension. It can be clamped, there is no problem of the dehydration inner lid part 9 easily coming off as in the conventional case, and the operability of the handle part 14 is not impaired.

In addition, since the dehydration inner lid part 9 and the dehydration receiving cover 21 are integrated, there is no need to provide the boss part 10 or a hole 11 for inserting the boss part 10 as in the conventional case, which simplifies the parts and eliminates the work of assembling both parts. .

Furthermore, since the dehydration receiving cover 21 and the dehydration inner lid 9 are folded over each other at the rear, the strength is improved compared to the conventional method, resulting in increased product strength. has advantages.

As described above, the present invention has a simple structure and has extremely excellent effects.
