Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention places items to be dried such as clothes in a bag,
This invention relates to a humidity control device for controlling the humidity of a portable dryer that blows hot air into a bag to dry it.

For example, in the drying bag of a conventional dryer,
As described in Publication No. 25073, the bag was simply provided with a plurality of moisture exhaust holes. In this case, if the amount of clothing is small, hot air will flow out from the ventilation holes and reduce the drying efficiency, and if there is a large amount of clothing, simply blowing warm air into the bag will not dry the bag properly. The problem was that it became overhumidified and difficult to dry despite the high temperature.

The present invention attempts to solve the problems of such a dryer by providing a function that allows the humidity inside the drying bag to be adjusted.

The present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings of one embodiment. In the general view of the portable dryer shown in FIG. 1, 1 is a warm air generator, 2 is a bag for storing items to be dried such as clothes, and 3 is a humidity control device of the present invention provided in the bag. FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the humidity control device 3, in which the bag 2 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 4, and an opening/closing member 6 is fixed at one end to the bag 2 and glued at the other end so as to cover the ventilation holes. It is provided so as to be able to be latched to the bag 2 by a fastening member 5 such as a tape or a fastening hook, and each ventilation hole 4 can be opened and closed by each opening/closing member 6.

The operation of the present invention will be explained.

The hot air from the hot air generating section 1 accumulates in the bag 2, and the temperature inside the bag 2 rises to dry the objects to be dried, such as clothes, placed in the bag 2. At the same time, moisture generated by the objects to be dried accumulates in the bag 2, resulting in an overhumidified state. When the temperature of the hot air reaches a saturation point, the objects cannot be dried any more. Therefore, by opening the opening and closing members 6 at several places of the humidity adjusting device 3 of the present invention from the stopper member 5, the ventilation holes 4 are opened and the accumulated moisture is discharged. When the moisture in the bag 2 is discharged, the opening and closing members 6 at several places are closed by the stopper member 5, and the ventilation holes 4 are closed. The hot air promotes drying by the amount of the decrease in humidity, and the drying proceeds until the temperature of the hot air reaches a saturation point. The ventilation holes 4 are opened and closed several times as necessary to complete the drying. Also, by adjusting the number of ventilation holes 4 of the humidity adjusting device 3 and the opening and closing of the ventilation holes 4, the humidity in the bag 2 can be set to an optimal value for the objects to be dried.

With the above-described structure and operation, the humidity control device of the present invention allows objects to be dried such as clothes to be dried quickly and efficiently. It is also possible to set the optimum humidity for the object to be dried.
