Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a clothes dryer that exhausts warm air sent into the drying chamber to the outside through a clothes input port on the front surface of the drying chamber. By arranging the filter on the outer surface of the lid covered by the filter, the purpose is to make it easier to check for clogging and maintain the filter, and to reliably prevent damage to the filter due to contact between the filter and clothing. do.

In conventional clothes dryers of this kind, the inside of the lid body that opens and closes the clothes input port is used to collect fabric dust generated inside the dryer and prevent it from being released into the room unnecessarily. A filter was installed.

When the filter is attached to the inside of the lid in this manner, it is necessary to open the lid each time to check for clogging of the filter, perform maintenance, etc., and installation and removal are troublesome.

In addition, the filter inside the lid inevitably comes into contact with the material to be dried, and the filter is likely to be damaged or deformed, especially in the case of a so-called rotating drum type drying cabinet that rotates. Such abnormalities are extremely likely to occur. Therefore, a lattice-like cover or the like was required to isolate the filter and the material to be dried, which increased the cost due to the increased number of parts and required time and effort to attach and detach the filter. It has some disadvantages.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and examples thereof will be described below. In the figure, 1 is a drying cabinet made of a rotating drum, 2 is a support plate that supports the drying cabinet 1 so as to be rotatable about a substantially horizontally long axis, 3 is a rotating shaft of the drying cabinet 1, and 4 is a bearing thereof. It is attached to the support plate 2. Reference numeral 5 denotes a sliding member arranged in an annular manner around the shaft 3 on the back of the drying cabinet 1, and is made of a material such as felt that has a low coefficient of friction. 2.Slide on top. Reference numeral 6 denotes an air supply hole formed on the back wall surface of the drying chamber 1, which communicates with the hot air supply port 2a formed on the support plate 2, and the airtightness of this communication section is achieved by the sliding material 5 mentioned above.

The drying oven 1 is rotated by rotating a belt (not shown) wrapped around the circumferential surface of the drying oven 1 itself, or by bringing a rotating roller (not shown) into contact with the circumferential surface. Just let them do it,
Alternatively, rotational force may be applied to the rotating shaft 3 itself.
Further, hot air from a hot air generating means may be sent to the hot air supply port 2a.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a clothes input port provided on the front side of the drying cabinet 1, which is closed by a lid body 8 consisting of a door or the like that can be opened and closed. Reference numeral 9 denotes a ventilation hole formed in the lid body 8, and 10 denotes a filter detachably attached to the outer surface of the lid body 8 so as to cover the ventilation hole 9, which includes a frame body 10a, a mesh-like filter part 10b, and a knob part 10c. The frame 10a is removably engaged with a plurality of protrusions 8b provided on the inner peripheral surface of the front recess 8a of the lid 8. At least one of the protrusion 8b and the frame 10a is provided with flexibility so that this attachment and detachment can be easily performed. Further, a hook member or the like may be separately attached to allow this attachment/detachment. 8c is a protrusion formed in the center of the lid body 8, and is a protrusion formed in the center of the filter 10.
The inner hole 0d is removably inserted.

According to the above configuration, since the filter 10 is removably attached to the outside of the lid 8, the cloth dust generated in the warehouse 1 due to the supply of warm air in the direction of arrow a is removed from the ventilation hole 9. Even if a large amount adheres to the filter 10 through the filter 10, the filter 10 can be easily removed without opening the lid 8, and inspection and cleaning to prevent clogging can be easily performed.

Furthermore, even if the clothes b in the drying oven 1 roll, the lid 8 exists between the clothes b and the filter 10, so the filter 10 does not come into contact with the clothes b. , the filter 10 can be reliably prevented from being damaged or deformed, and the life of the filter 10 can be extended.

In addition, although a rotating drum type was explained in the example, it is not necessarily necessary to use a rotating drum.
The present invention can also be applied to a general drying cabinet such as a hanging type.

As described above, according to the clothes dryer of the present invention, a filter is removably attached to the outer surface of the lid that opens and closes the clothes input port, and the filter can be inspected and cleaned without opening the lid. It is easy to do this, it is easy to check the collection status of cloth dust, etc., and the filter does not come into contact with the material to be dried, which prevents the filter from being damaged or deformed.
