Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a clothes dryer for general household use.

Conventional Structure and Problems Conventionally, in this type of clothes dryer, clothes are placed in a rotating drum, and the clothes are dried by blowing warm air from a heater while the drum is rotating.

However, clothing should be made of cotton, synthetic fibers, or thick materials.

There are a variety of thin materials, some that are easy to dry, some that are difficult to dry, some that are resistant to heat, and some that are weakly resistant to heat.If you dry them under the same conditions,
This has been a problem in that clothes may dry too quickly and become over-dry, or that drying at high temperatures can damage clothing.

Purpose of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional art, the present invention provides a method for quickly drying clothing.
To provide a clothes dryer that does not damage even hot and weak clothes.

Structure of the Invention The clothes dryer of the present invention includes a rotating drum for storing clothes;
The rotating drum is divided into parts, and the amount of hot air blown to each part is divided by the configuration, which includes a blower device that sends hot air to the rotating drum, a heater that produces the hot air, and a partition plate provided inside the rotating drum. By doing this, the clothes can be dried under conditions that suit the clothes.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS A clothes dryer which is an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

1 is a rotating drum for storing clothes; 2 is a main body with the rotating drum 1 inside; 3 is a lid that can be opened and closed on the front of the main body 2;
Reference numeral 4 indicates a drum front plate which is fixed to the inside front surface of the main body 2 and receives the drum 1. Reference numeral 6 indicates a seat for a drum holder that rotates and slides on the drum front plate 4 when the rotating drum 1 rotates. Reference numeral 6 indicates a connection between the main body 2 and the front of the drum. The front backing provided between the front plate and the plate 4 prevents hot air from leaking between the backing and the front plate. A heater mounting plate 7 is fixed to the main body 2 via a support plate 8. Reference numeral 9 denotes a heater that is insulated and supported by a heater fitting 1o, and 11 is a drum shaft fixed to the rotating drum 1. The rotating drum 1 is rotatably supported by a bearing 13 via a bearing fitting 12 fixed to the heater mounting plate 7. A heater backing 14 prevents air from flowing between the rotating drum 1 and the heater mounting plate 7.

16 is the intake hole on the rear side of the main body, 16 is the intake hole on the heater mounting plate, 1
Reference numeral 7 denotes an intake hole on the rear surface of the drum, through which hot air is fed into the rotating drum 1 via a heater 9. Reference numeral 18 denotes an exhaust hole formed in the drum front plate 4, through which exhaust air is discharged from a first exhaust pipe 20 via a lint collecting device 19, and from a second exhaust pipe 22 via a fan 21. 23 is a motor supported by a metal fitting 24 on the bottom of the main body 2, which rotates the fan 21; 26 is a drum belt that rotates the motor 23; I'm telling you.

Reference numeral 27 denotes a partition plate that divides the inside of the rotary drum 1 into two, into an A tank 28 and a B tank 29. Reference numeral 30 denotes a first protruding tuffle provided on the inner wall of the rotating drum 1, and 31 a second) Z tuffle provided on the partition plate 27.

Next, the operation in the above configuration will be explained.

When the user puts clothes that are easy to dry or clothes that are sensitive to heat in the B tank 29 and clothes that are difficult to dry or clothes that are resistant to heat in the A tank 28 and starts this clothes dryer, the rotation of the motor 23 is controlled by the drum belt. At the same time as the rotating drum 1 is rotated via the fan 26, the fan 21 is also rotated. As the fan 21 rotates, outside air is taken in through the intake hole 16 on the rear surface of the main body and the intake hole 16 on the heater mounting plate, heated by the heater 9, and warm air is blown into the rotating drum 1 through the intake hole 1T on the rear surface of the drum. Ru.

Clothes are rotating inside the rotating drum 1, and warm air passes through the drum 1, absorbs moisture from the clothes, passes through the exhaust hole 18 of the drum front plate 4 and the lint collection device 19, and is then removed to the first lint collecting device. It passes through the exhaust stack, l'o, and the second exhaust stack 22, and is exhausted to the outside air.

At this time, the interior of the rotating drum 1 is divided into two by a partition plate 27. As is clear from FIG. 2, the volume of tank A 28 is approximately twice that of tank B 29, but the drum rear air intake port 17 of tank A 28 is more than six times larger than that of tank B 29.

In other words, a large amount of hot air passes through the B tank 28 considering its volume, and a small amount of hot air passes through the B tank 29 considering its volume. From this, A tank 28
The clothes placed in the B tank 29 are dried strongly, and the clothes placed in the B tank 29 are softly dried.

From the above, if you put clothes that are easy to dry or clothes that are resistant to heat in the B tank 28, and clothes that are difficult to dry or clothes that are weak in heat in the B tank 29, the clothes that are suitable for drying can be dried in one dryer. This means that they can be done at the same time on the same machine.

It goes without saying that if the partition plate 27 is made detachable, a large number of clothes can be dried at once when there is no need to separate the clothes.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, the clothes dryer of the present invention has a partition plate in the rotating drum and a tank with a large amount of hot air and a tank with a small amount of hot air, so that it is possible to dry clothes easily. Items that are easy to dry and items that are difficult to dry.

It is possible to divide clothes into those that are resistant to heat and those that are weak, and perform drying that is suitable for each type, thereby preventing damage to clothes due to overdrying.
