Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a clothes dryer that uses a bathtub, and by using the bathtub as a clothes dryer, the drying efficiency is increased and the hot air generator is provided above the bathtub to support it. The purpose is to provide a foldable hanger for hanging clothes on a panel and to reduce the storage volume.

Conventionally, ceiling-mounted dryers are known that use the entire bathroom as a drying chamber to dry clothes, but if the bathroom walls and floor are tiled, the amount of heat dissipated in the bathroom is expected to be large. If the temperature did not rise and there were large windows, the drying efficiency would be greatly reduced.

In addition, when using a bathtub as a dryer, in order to dry clothes that are taller than the depth of the bathtub, a panel is installed above the bathtub to support the main body of the hot air generator, and a dryer with hangers for hanging the clothes is installed above the bathtub. However, when the bathtub is used as a bath, it has to be put away outside the bathroom, which has the disadvantage of increasing the storage volume.

The present invention is intended to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional art, and embodiments thereof will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

In the figure, 1 is a hot air generator main body having an inlet 2 and an outlet 3, and a blower 4 and a heater 5 inside, and 6 is a bathtub 7.
A panel placed on the edge of the hot air supply port 8 and clothes 9 that are removably placed so that air is blown from the air outlet 3 of the hot air generator main body 1 toward the bottom of the bathtub 7. An entrance/exit 10 is formed.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a support frame that forms a support frame for forming a drying chamber 12 above the clothes entrance 10, and is formed in an inverted letter S shape.

13 is a support that foldably supports the support frame 11;
A bent part 14 is formed at the end of the support frame 11, and this bent part 1
4 in a rotatable manner.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a hanger stretched over the upper side of the upright support frame 11, and has an engaging portion 1 at one end that rotatably engages with the support frame 11.
6 is provided, and a loosely fitting portion 17 that is loosely fitted to the other support frame 11 is provided at the other end.

A drying chamber 1 18 surrounds the support frame 11 and communicates with the inside of the bathtub 7.
19 is an exhaust port provided on the top surface of the hood 18.

In the above configuration, when drying clothes, the panel 6 is stretched over the bathtub 7 and the hot air generator main body 1 is placed on the hot air supply port 8 of the panel 6.

One side of the folded support frame 11 is erected, the other end loose fitting portion 17 of the hanger 15 supported by one support frame 11 is fitted into the other support frame 11, and the hanger 15 is stretched between the support frames 11, Clothing 9 is hung on a hanger 15 and covered with a canopy 18 to form a drying room 12.

When the hot air generator main body 1 is operated in this state, hot air is sent into the bathtub 7 through the hot air supply port 8, and the hanger 15
Warm air comes into contact with the clothes 9 that are suspended from the clothes 9 to dry them.

Next, when using the bathtub 7 as a bath, remove the hot air generator main body 1, remove the hood 18, remove one end of the hanger 15 from the support frame 11, fold the support frame 11, and store it outside the bathroom. Bye.

As described above, according to the present invention, since a bathtub is used as a clothes drying chamber, the drying chamber can be formed in a small space, and the heat insulation effect is enhanced and the drying efficiency is increased.

In addition, even when a drying chamber is formed by using a canopy over the clothes entrance of a panel installed on the top of the bathtub to dry tall clothes, hangers that serve as the support for forming the drying chamber and hang the clothes can also be used. Since the support frame is foldable, the storage volume of unnecessary panels can be reduced when the bathtub is used as a bath.
