Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a dish dryer, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily dry a dish towel used for wiping, for example, a dining table in a general household at the same time as drying dishes.

Conventional dish dryers can only dry dishes, and dish towels used in the same kitchen are dried naturally, which has the disadvantage of requiring a long time to dry.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and embodiments thereof will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.

In the figure, 1 is the main body of the dish dryer (hereinafter referred to as the main body) which is provided with a drying chamber 2 and a hot air generation chamber 3. The upper part of the drying chamber 2 is open, and 4 is a dryer that communicates with the hot air generation chamber 3. This is an air passage chamber formed by partitioning a part of the chamber 2. On one side wall of the air passage chamber 4, there are a number of hot air outlets 6 communicating with the outside air arranged at equal intervals to the width of the hot air outlets 6. A communication port 6 communicating with the drying chamber 2 is provided in the other side wall at a position facing the hot air outlet 6. 7 is a suction port provided in the hot air generation chamber 3, 8
9 is a fan motor that blows the air taken in from the suction lower to the drying chamber 2 side; 9 is a heater provided in the air flow path of the fan motor 8; 10 is a drainer basket that stores tableware 11 inside; It is removably installed inside. Reference numeral 12 denotes a lid provided to cover the upper opening of the drying chamber 2, and has a large number of exhaust ports 13. Reference numeral 14 indicates a dishcloth provided above the hot air outlet 6 provided on the side wall of the main body 1 so as to communicate with the air flow path chamber 4; and 16 indicates the air flow path chamber 4.
It is a frame-shaped air flow path switching device that is movably housed inside the air flow path chamber 4. Ventilation holes 16 and 17 of the same size as the hot air outlet 5 provided on the side wall of the air flow path chamber 4 are provided on opposing surfaces, and one The vent 16 provided on the surface is shifted by the width of the vent 17 provided on the other surface, and an air inlet 18 is formed on the surface facing the hot air generation chamber 3 side. Reference numeral 19 denotes a knob for moving the air flow path switching device 15, which is provided so as to protrude outside the main body 1 through a sliding opening 20 provided in the side wall of the main body. 21 is Wakin.

In the above configuration, when drying only tableware, operate the knob 19 to move the air flow path switching device 15, and
An air flow path switching device 15 is installed at the hot air outlet 5 provided on the side wall of the
The blank parts between the vent holes 16 are aligned to close the hot air outlet 5. In this state, the other vent 17 side is connected to the communication port 6.
matches.

In this way, put the tableware 11 into the tableware capacity 10, and
When the fan motor 8 and the heater 9 are energized, the air sucked from the suction lower by the fan motor 8 is heated by the heater 9 1, and the air is heated from the hot air generation chamber 3. While being sent to the drying chamber 2, a part of it passes through the air inlet 18 and enters the air flow path switching device 15, and is sent into the drying chamber 2 through the ventilation hole 1 and the communication hole 6, and enters the tableware container 10. Tableware 11 is dried with warm air.

Next, when drying the cloth 21 at the same time, move the air flow path switching tool 15 by operating the folding lever 19 so that the vent 16 of the air flow path switching tool 15 aligns with the hot air outlet 6. , the communication hole 6 is closed at the blind part on the side having the ventilation hole 17 on the other hand, and the cloth 21 is placed on the cloth hook 14. In this state, most of the hot air blown from the hot air generation chamber 3 is in the drying chamber 2.
A part of the air flows into the air flow path chamber 4 through the air vent 18, passes through the vent 16, is radiated from the hot air outlet 5, and is sent to the upper part of the hot air outlet 5. The cloth 21 is dried by contacting the cloth 21 provided in the drying cloth 21.

Note that in the above embodiment, the air flow path switching device is in the form of a frame.
The raccoon may be of any type as long as it can open and close the warm air outlet that blows warm air through the cloth hung over the clothes.

As described above, according to the present invention, the dish cloth for wiping the dining table and the like can be kept clean and easily and quickly dried at the same time as the tableware.
