Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a drying case that can not only dry tableware, chopsticks, etc., but also cool cold items such as rice for sushi.

Structure of conventional examples and their problems Conventional devices for drying tableware, etc. include those that have a fan device built into the case body and dry the tableware, etc. inside the case body using air discharged from the fan device. As a device for cooling rice for sushi, etc., there is an electric fan that cools the rice for sushi by applying air to the rice.

In other words, in the past, there were two types of devices, one for drying tableware, etc. and the other for cooling rice for sushi, etc., even though the fan devices were common, and these devices were unsatisfactory in terms of product value. Ta.

Purpose of the invention This invention solves the above-mentioned problems.It not only increases the product value by having a single machine with a cooling function in addition to a drying function, but also improves workability and efficiency. It provides something good.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention consists of a case main body with a top button and an opening at the front, and a case body which is formed into a substantially angular cross-section so as to cover the opening, and which can be opened and closed upside down using the rear part as a fulcrum. It includes a lid and a fan device provided on the back side of the front part of the opening/closing lid, and the fan device has a discharge port facing inward of the case body, and when the opening/closing lid is erected, The drying case has a structure in which the air is directed into the case body, and when the opening/closing lid is closed, the air is blown into the main body case to perform the original drying, and when the opening/closing lid is upright, the fan device is activated. It uses wind to cool objects inside the main case.

Description of examples One embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a case body, which has a top button and an opening 2 at the front, and a support stand 3 for draining water and a water tray 4 at the bottom.

Reference numeral 5 denotes an opening/closing lid having a substantially angular cross-section formed to cover the upper bag and the front opening 2 of the case body 1, and is supported via a wire 7 to the rear plate portion 6 of the case body 1 so as to be openable and closable. With.

By engaging the support 8 with the engagement hole 9 of the case body 1, the case body 1 can be turned upside down.

Reference numeral 1 and 0 denote a fan device installed on the back side of the front part 5a of the opening/closing lid 5, which is composed of a heater 11 and a fan 12, and has a discharge port 13 facing inward of the case body 1. The discharge port 13 is configured to face the inside of the case body 1 when the opening/closing lid 5 is closed, and the discharge port 13 is configured to be lower than the support base 3 when the opening/closing lid 5 is in the closed state.

14 is an intake hole of the fan device 10, which communicates with the inside of the tableware case 15.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a case for small items such as chopsticks 17 and spoons 18, which can be freely drawn out from the case body 1.

Reference numeral 19 denotes an operation knob for switching between hot air via the heater 11 and air without the heater 11, and is provided on the front portion 5a of the opening/closing lid 5.

20 is a handle, 21 is a power cord, 22 is an outlet, 2
3 is tableware, 24 is a gift, and 25 is a water container.

With the above configuration, the drying case can be used not only as a dryer for dishes, etc., but also as a cooling air blower for cold items.

That is, when drying tableware, etc., the opening/closing lid 5 is in the closed state as shown by the solid line in FIGS. 1 and 3, and the case body 1 is closed.
The interior is made into a nearly airtight drying chamber, and the operating knob 19 is rotated to the left.

Then, the heater 11 is energized from the discharge port 13 of the fan device 10, and hot air flows.

The tableware 23 in the tableware case 15 is dried and sucked into the air intake hole 14 of the fan device 10, and this process is repeated to dry the tableware 23.
to dry efficiently.

Next, when chilling food such as rice for sushi, open the opening/closing lid 5 and insert the support 8 into the engagement hole 9 as shown by the two-dot chain line in Figures 2 and 3. After setting the opening/closing lid 5 upright and forming a large space between the fan device 10 and the support stand 3, the cooling object 24 is placed on the support stand 3 and the operating knob 1 is opened.
Rotate 9 to the right.

Then, the air without energization of the heater 11 flows downward from the discharge port 13 of the fan device 10, and the cooling object 24 on the support stand 3 can be cooled, and the work of cleaning the lower part of the fan device 10 is also easy. .

In addition, since the case body 1 has openings on the top and front sides, the opening is large, and items can be taken in and out of the case body 1 without colliding with the case body 1, making the work easier. Become.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the air from the outlet 13 of the fan device 10 is energized to the heater 11 to produce hot air when drying dishes etc. with the opening/closing lid 5 closed.
It is a configuration without a cold air, and the operation knob 19 is also set to ``off''.
The effects of the present invention can be achieved even with only "in".

Effects of the invention As described above, according to the invention, by driving the fan device with the opening/closing lid in the closed state, the inside of the case body can be used as a nearly airtight drying chamber with high drying efficiency, and it is compact. By driving the fan device in the open and upright position, it can be used as a cooling air section inside the case body with good workability. In addition, since the case body is open at the top and front, it is possible to easily take items in and out of the case body.
