Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a kitchen utensil dryer that dries kitchen utensils such as tableware, cutting boards, dish towels, and pots using hot air.

Conventionally, this type of apparatus has a vertical metal mounting plate C erected in a chamber B formed beside one end of an article placement part A, as shown in FIG. A blower fan D having an impeller F housed in a fan casing B is attached to the surface opposite to section A, and a motor G for driving the impeller F is attached to the surface facing drying section A, and air blown from inside the casing B. A heater H for heating the drying section A, and an air guide pipe (2) for guiding the hot air heated by the heater H to the drying section A are attached.

In such a structure, many of the necessary parts must be attached with horizontal setscrews perpendicular to the vertical mounting plate C, which makes it difficult to work with the screws, and the blower fan D
Since the terminals of the cords drawn out from the motor G and the motor G are also connected at different locations, there is a drawback that the workability of connecting the cord terminals of the electric parts is not good.

In addition, in chamber B, a large proportion of air is sucked into the suction side of blower fan D from the screw holes at the bottom and unnecessary holes formed during the plastic molding process without passing through the filter, purifying the air. This had the disadvantage that the filter effect was poor.

The object of this invention is to provide a kitchen utensil dryer that improves the above-mentioned drawbacks.

In this idea, air is taken into the container from outside the container through a filter, and is turned into hot air by passing through a heater inside the container.

Reference numeral 7a denotes a hot air supply port to the hot air introduction chamber 6 of the air guide passage 7, which is opened in the shape of a slit over the entire width of the continuous portion 13b with the article placement/drying section 1.

Note that the breathable heater 5 may be made of nichrome wire arranged in a net shape or a coil shape.

The vessel intake port 3 is a joint edge 13c of a fitting portion between the vessel main body 13 and the vessel cover 14 that form the vessel body 2.

It will open between 14c.

The filter case 18 includes a container-shaped case body 18a and a lid 1.

3 is made to protrude upward as shown in FIG. 3, and guide rails 32, 32 are formed horizontally in the direction of the article mounting and drying section 1 on the corresponding outer side wall portions.

On the upper surfaces of the guide rails 32, 32, there are articles 10 to be dried.
A container 34 is inserted into a receiver for drainage which is separated from the slanted bottom portion 1a and is discharged from the opening 33 of the inclined bottom portion 1a.

The rectangular long holes 35, 35 that open on the upper surface of the protrusion of the main body 13 are unnecessary holes that were provided due to the need for die cutting when forming the guide rails 32° 32 by plastic molding. However, air entering the intake side of the fan 4 that does not pass through the filter 19 from the elongated holes 35, 35 and other openings provided in the main body 13 is prevented by blocking such unnecessary holes. This can be effectively prevented by the action of the attached fixing plate 16.

According to this idea, the fan, motor, heater, shell-like cover director, terminal, etc. can be mounted horizontally to the fixing plate so that they can be easily screwed, and moreover, they can be incorporated into the vessel as is without any other attached structures. The vessel uses outside air as hot air.
Since the hot air can be supplied to the hot air introduction chamber extended to the side, the structure is simple and the workability of screwing is improved, and inspection and maintenance work on component parts after assembly and use is easier than in the conventional case. It can be done more easily.

In addition, the fixing plate closes unnecessary holes in the main body, and
It forms an air chamber that has passed through the body cover and filter, and works to minimize the flow of dirty air that does not pass through the filter into the fan intake port.

Furthermore, since the terminals of the cords from each electrical component of the dryer can be centrally attached to the terminal attached to the fixed plate, the workability of the attachment can also be improved.
