Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a footwear dryer that is housed in a part of a shoe rack, for example.

Conventional footwear dryers have their own independent drying chamber, and shoes, etc. are dried in this drying chamber, but the drying chamber requires a place to be placed, and if it is installed in an entrance, etc., it will only get in the way. It will spoil your appearance.

Furthermore, since the hot air was guided through piping either outside or inside the drying chamber, there were also disadvantages of increasing the external size and narrowing the internal space.

In order to eliminate these drawbacks, the present invention constructs a drying space by supporting a top plate equipped with a hot air generator with a perforated plate, and a ventilation gap is provided outside the perforated plate to introduce hot air from the hot air generator. For example, by storing it in a part of the empty space of a shoe rack, a drying room can be easily and stylishly constructed.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Reference numeral 25 denotes a drying unit, which is composed of a top plate 1, a hot air generator 2 supported on the top plate 1, and perforated plates 9.9 that are arranged opposite to each other on the left and right through a footwear storage space 24 and support the top plate 1. has been done.

The hot air generator 2 includes a flat box-shaped hot air generating chamber 3 provided on the top plate 1, a fan 5 facing the air intake port 4 provided in the center of the top plate 1, and a fan 5 provided on both side plates of the hot air generating chamber 3. A large number of downward air holes 6 and a hot air generation chamber 3 facing the air holes 6 are provided.
It should be noted that the heater 7 is installed inside the heater.

Both ends of the top plate 1 are supported on left and right vertical perforated plates 9, 9 each having a large number of ventilation holes 8 to form a drying space 24, which protrudes from the perforated plates 9 at appropriate intervals. The rack is divided into several stages by shelf boards 11 that are removably supported between metal fittings 10 and 10.

Further, a front plate 12 and a rear plate 13 are attached to the front and rear of the hot air generation chamber 3 to prevent hot air from flowing into the front or rear surface of the hot air generation chamber 3 and to guide the hot air to the outside of the perforated plates 9, 9. A cavity 14° 14 is formed on both sides, and this cavity 14.
14 is a ventilation gap 15 formed on the outside of the perforated plates 9, 9;
It is connected to 15.

The front and rear edges of the perforated plates 9, 9 are bent outward to form the ventilation gap 1.
5.15 are formed, and the front end bends the bent edge 16 further outward, and the rear end extends the bent edge 17 inward to form mounting edges 18 and 19, respectively. It is designed to be fixed at 20.

Further, a fan 5 and a heater 7 are installed on the front plate 12 of the hot air generation chamber 3.
Operation switch 21 (100W to 200W)
, a timer 22, an indicator lamp 23, etc. are attached.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

A top plate 1 supported by perforated plates 9, 9 and a hot air generator 2 are placed in a vacant room B partitioned off to one side of a shoe rack A, between the perforated plates 9, 9 and the inner wall C of the vacant room B. The front and rear mounting edges 18 of the perforated plate 9.9,
19 to the inner wall C with wood screws 20.

Next, connect a plug (not shown) to the power source, turn on the changeover switch 21, and set the timer 22. The fan 5 and heater 7 will operate. When the door of empty room B is closed, the air from the fan 5 will be sent to the heater 7. Air supply holes 6 on both sides of the heated hot air generation chamber 3
, 6, hot air is blown out from the ventilation gap 15.15
The air is blown uniformly upward and downward into the drying space 24 through the ventilation holes 8, 8 of the perforated plate 9.9, heating and drying the footwear in the drying space 24, and a portion of the moisture-laden air flows into the back toga of the shoe rack A. The air is removed through the open exhaust port E and the gap in the door, and the remaining air is taken in by the fan 5 and circulated.

In some cases, the door is lower than the front plate 12 so that the switch 21, timer 22, and indicator lamp 23 can be seen from the outside.

According to the present invention, a pair of perforated plates are disposed opposite to each other on the left and right with a footwear storage space in the middle, and a front plate and a rear plate are built on top of the perforated plates and erected in the front and rear, facing the footwear storage space below. A drying unit is provided with a top plate having an air inlet and a hot air generator supported on the top plate that takes in air from the footwear storage space and sends hot air to left and right spaces, and this drying unit is housed. For example, a drying unit may be formed into a part of a shoe rack, and has a ventilation gap between the left and right perforated plates and the cavity, which communicates with the left and right cavities of the hot air generator. By installing it in a vacant room that can be ventilated through the gap in the door, etc., a drying room can be easily configured as a part of the shoe cabinet. This makes it possible to construct a simple drying room, and furthermore, since the integrated drying unit consisting of the top plate, hot air generator, and perforated plate is not fixed to a specific case and can be taken out and put in at will, it is possible to A drying room can be easily constructed using a vacant room.

In addition, ventilation gaps are formed between the empty chambers and the respective perforated plates, and these are communicated with the empty spaces on both sides of the hot air generator from which the hot air is sent, so that the hot air from the hot air generator is supplied to the footwear storage space from both sides. The hot air is evenly distributed through the ventilation holes of the perforated plate and flows into the footwear storage space from both sides over the entire length in the vertical direction, so that the hot air can be evenly supplied to the entire footwear storage space. Since no ventilation ducts are used, the storage space can be widely utilized.
