Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a drum-type clothes dryer that can be used in general households.

The structure of the conventional example and the meantime; True point.The conventional clothes dryer of this type has a rotating drum that is rotatably supported within the main body, a drum front plate that rotatably supports the front part of the rotating drum, and a drum front plate that rotatably supports the front part of the rotating drum. It is equipped with a support that supports the front plate of the drum on the main body, and a lid switch that is controlled by opening and closing the lid, but since the lid switch was fixed to the support separately with screws, it was difficult to assemble it. The problem is that the work becomes extremely complicated and the number of parts increases, making the total cost extremely high.

Purpose of invention This invention? In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the aim is to reduce the number of parts, simplify the configuration, and make Ifc installation work easier (d) to reduce the total cost. .

Structure of the Invention In order to accomplish the above-mentioned objects, the present invention provides a support for supporting the front plate of the rotary drum by the main body, and a support device for supporting the front part of the rotary drum by the main body, and the opening and closing of the lid. The lid switch case is made of an integral resin molded product.
This configuration eliminates the need for the conventional work of fixing the switch part to the support using separate screws, etc., and also reduces the number of parts, so the assembly work is done on the front of the drum. It is only necessary to attach a support to the main body, and the structure can be simplified, so the total cost can be reduced.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body of the dryer having a front part (a clothes input port 2), and a rotary drum 3 is rotatably supported within the main body 1. Reference numeral 4 is crimped to a drum holder 5; It is a drum support shaft that pivotally supports the rear part of the rotating drum 3, and a forced exhaust 77 cylinder 6 is rotatably attached to the drum support shaft 4. 7 is a drum support shaft that rotatably supports the rear part of the rotary drum 3. The attached filter cover houses a filter 8. Reference numeral 9 denotes a plurality of exhaust holes provided at the rear of the rotating drum 3, facing the filter cover 7, and these exhaust holes 9 connect the forced exhaust fan 6. It communicates with the fan case 10 installed inside.

11 is a drum front plate approximately shaped like a mountain hat; this drum front plate 11
The rotary drum 3 is rotatably supported in the outer circumferential part by a highly wear-resistant felt 13 attached to a 7 flange part 12 formed on the front surface of the rotary drum 3. . The drum front plate 11 is located between the main body 1 and the rotating drum 3, and is fixed by a support 14 for the drum front plate 11 and a heater cover 16 housing a heater 16 therein. Reference numeral 17 denotes a lid for opening and closing the clothing input port 2 of the main body 1, and the lid 17 (the lid 17) forms an operating section 19 for operating the lid switch 18 provided on the support 14.

Numeral 20 denotes a plurality of intake holes formed on the front surface of the main body 1 facing the heater cover 16, and numeral 21 denotes a plurality of small holes formed on the drum front plate 11 facing the heater cover 16.

In the above configuration, the outside air sucked into the heater bar 16 through the intake hole 20 is heated by the heater 16 and becomes warm air, and this warm air enters the rotating drum 3 through the small hole 21 to dry the clothes. At the same time, remove the filter cover 7.
through a filter 8, and then a forced exhaust fan 6.
) is exhausted outside the aircraft.

Figures 2a, b, c, and d show the structure of a support 14 for supporting the drum front plate 11 on the main body 1, and this support 14 is an integral resin molded product made of synthetic resin. A support part A having a height of H and a switch case B located on the side of this support part A are integrally constructed. This support 14 is connected to the hole C on the top surface shown in FIG.
0 and the support 14 inside the switch case B (Cj7:;
As shown in FIG. 3C, the opening of the switch case B accommodates the necessary components of the lid switch 18, that is, the operation button 24 for pressing the plate 23 decorated with contacts. By covering the switch case with a cover 25, and attaching a lever 26 that applies a pressing force to the operation button 24 from the outside to the switch case B, and attaching a button 27 facing the operation part 19 provided on the lid 171 to this lever 26, A support with a lid switch as shown in FIG. 3 is constructed.

FIG. 4 shows the state in which the drum front plate 11 is attached to the main body 1. The drum front plate 11 is attached using the support 14 shown in FIG. 2 and the support 14 shown in FIG. , body 1
It is attached by a self-tapping screw 28.

In this way, in one embodiment of the present invention, the drum front plate 1
The lid switch 1 is attached to the support 14 for supporting the switch 1 on the main body 1.
8 case B is integrally molded with synthetic resin, and this case B
The parts necessary for the lid switch 18 are stored inside (
Because of this, the number of parts can be reduced, and
The simplification of assembly work is (-i).

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the support 2 for supporting the drum front plate rotatably supporting the front part of the rotating drum on the main body is provided.
Since the holder and the case of the lid switch, which is controlled by opening and closing the lid, are made of a single resin molded product, it is no longer necessary to attach the switch part to the holder separately with screws, etc. as in the past. is no longer necessary, and the number of parts has also been reduced. As a result, the assembly work only requires attaching the support for supporting the drum front plate to the main body, and the configuration is also simplified, reducing the total cost. It is something that can be lowered.
