The present invention relates to a dryer combined washing machine, and more particularly, to a dryer combined washing machine equipped with a removable drying rod.

Conventionally, once washed and dehydrated by a washing machine, the dehydrated laundry is hung on a drying rack to allow natural drying by daylight and natural convection or to be forced into a separate clothes dryer.

Natural drying of the conventional methods are manpower, dry in bad weather, such as during the rainy season or priorities, and forced drying by the clothes checker is less constrained than natural drying, there is a slight convenience, but also from the washing machine There was an inconvenience to take out the laundry and put it back into the dryer.

According to Korean Patent Application No. 88-4627, it describes a small clothes dryer configured to be detachable from a washing machine, which is illustrated in FIG. According to the specification and FIG. 1 of this application, as an essential component, a heating coil 1 such as a heater, a blowing motor 2 and a ventilation fan 3 interlocked with the motor 2, an blowing tube 3 4) and an exhaust port (5), the air flow generated by the driving of the ventilation fan (3) belt driven by the motor (2) is heated while passing through the heating coil (1), and continues Thus, the water flowing into the dewatering tank 8 of the two-chamber washing machine 9 through the extension pipe 4 passes through wet laundry located near the end of the extension pipe 4 to evaporate the moisture contained in the laundry. Exit to the exhaust port (5). However, these small clothes dryers have a heating coil 1, a motor 2, for example, a transmission 6 such as a drive pulley, a power pulley and a belt, a ventilation fan 3, an upper and a lower cover and an extension tube 4 It is a device that includes a large number of parts in one housing 7, etc., and is relatively heavy, so that it is not easy for women to wash the clothes and extends near the bottom of the dewatering tank 8. Handling is inconvenient due to the extension pipe (4). A further disadvantage is that due to the presence of the extension tube 4, a one-piece washing machine equipped with a pulsator or a laundry rod is not applicable, and if a short extension tube 4 is formed to avoid this, the warm air effectively conducts it to the vicinity of the laundry. This prevents efficient laundry from drying. In addition, after simply passing the heated air flow through the laundry, it is configured to discharge the air flow containing a large amount of water to the outside through the exhaust port 5 as it is, the power consumption for heating a new air flow is large, When the temperature outside the cabin is low, such as in winter, condensation starts from the vicinity of the end of the exhaust port 5, so that a large amount of condensed water remains around the dryer mounted on the dehydration tank of the washing machine, which causes inconvenience to clean it separately. .

In order to solve the above disadvantages, the present inventor has developed a washing machine having a dryer fixed to the top of a water tank of a one-type washing machine, and filed a patent application No. 93-9420 on May 29, 1993, which is shown in FIG. It was.
