As a result, when the locking ring 57 of the main body 56 is inserted into the upper end of the cabinet in which the side panel 52 and the rear panel 53 are coupled to each other, the first coupling of the frame top is achieved, and the fastening means 59 is connected to the fastening means 59. The secondary coupling is achieved by the complete coupling of the frame top.

Here, the main body 56 is formed in the shape of a panel bent in a 'c' shape, the hook ring 57 is formed at the center, and both ends bent to be coupled to the side panel 52 and the rear panel 53. The fastening means 59 are formed.

As shown in FIG. 8, the locking ring 57 is bent downward so that a portion of the main body 56 is cut to form a 'b' shape, and the outer side of the locking ring 57. Since the inclined portion 57a inclined downward in the end portion is formed, the main body 56 is brought into close contact with the upper end of the side panel 52 so that the locking ring 57a is inserted into the coupling hole 58, and then the coupling hole 58 is formed. When sliding the main body 56 in the lateral direction so that is inserted into the interior of the locking ring 57, the coupling hole 58 is inserted into the locking ring (57) along the inclined portion (57a), the locking ring ( 57 is deformed in a certain amount so that the body 56 and the side panel 52 is in close contact.

As a result, the first coupling of the frame top is achieved, and the second coupling of the frame top is performed by the fastening means 59, thereby making the frame top and the side panel 52 and the rear panel 53 firmly coupled to each other. The panel 52 and the rear panel 53 are kept at right angles, and the cabinet is reinforced with strength.

As shown in FIG. 6, the fastening means 59 includes first hole portions 59a formed at both ends of the main body 56 and side panels 52 corresponding to the first hole portions 59a. The second hole portion 59b formed at the upper end and the third hole portion 59c formed at the upper end of the rear panel 53 corresponding to the first hole portion 59a are included.

Thus, when the primary coupling of the frame top is completed, the second hole portion 59b and the third hole portion 59c correspond to the first hole portion 59a, respectively, and the bolt 59d is attached to each of the first hole portions 59a. When fastened, the frame top may be mounted while being coupled to the second hole portion 59b and the third hole portion 59c.

As shown in FIG. 5, the suction port 52 and the discharge port 54 are formed at the lower end of the rear panel 53 of the cabinet 50, and the discharge port 54 is formed at the center, and the suction port 52 is at one side. It is formed on the corner side.

9 is a plan view showing a suction flow path of the dryer according to the present invention, Figure 10 is a side cross-sectional view showing a suction flow path of the dryer according to the present invention, Figure 11 is a plan view showing an exhaust flow path of the dryer according to the present invention. to be.

The drum 60 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a front surface and a rear surface opened so that a front surface thereof corresponds to the opening portion, and a rear surface thereof is rotatably installed on a support panel 62 having a through hole portion 62a formed therein.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, the drum 60 is provided with a gasket 64 between the front end and the opening of the cabinet 50, and a discharge port 64a is provided at the lower end of the gasket 64. Is formed.

An extension tube 86 facing the exhaust fan 82 is provided at the discharge port 64a, and a housing 84 in which the exhaust fan 82 is rotatably embedded between the extension tube 86 and the exhaust pipe 80. ) Is installed.

The intake pipe 70 includes a passage extending from the bottom of the rear surface of the cabinet 50 corresponding to the heater 74 to the top of the rear surface of the cabinet 50 corresponding to the through hole portion 62a. The air flowing along the 72 is converted to the air having a predetermined temperature or more while passing through the heater 74 and moved upwardly of the cabinet 50 along the intake pipe 70, and the drum 60 through the through-hole part 62a. Flows inside.

At this time, the drum 60 connected to the drive motor 90 and the belt 96 is rotated so that the contact area of the hot air and the laundry is increased, thereby drying the laundry.

The drive motor 90 is provided with a first rotation shaft 92 on one side, a second rotation shaft 94 on the other side, the intake fan 72 is installed on the first rotation shaft 92, and a second rotation shaft ( Since the exhaust fan 82 is connected to the double shaft motor 94, the first rotation shaft 92 and the second rotation shaft 94 are simultaneously rotated when power is applied to the driving motor 90.

Here, the belt 96 is installed on the first rotating shaft 92, the belt 96 is fastened to the drum 60, when the power is applied to the drive motor 90, the intake fan 72, the exhaust fan ( 82 and the drum 60 are rotated at the same time, so that one motor is driven, so that the circulation of air to and from the drum can be performed simultaneously with the rotation of the drum 60.

Looking at the operation of the intake and exhaust device of the dryer according to the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, in the initial assembly, after installing the side panel 52 and the rear panel 53 on the base panel 55, the main body 56 is in close contact with the upper end of the side panel 52, the hook ring 57 ) Is inserted into the coupling hole 58, the main body 56 is slid in the lateral direction so that the coupling hole 58 is inserted into the locking ring (57).

After that, the bolt 59d is inserted into each of the first hole portions 59a. The second hole portion 59b and the third hole portion 59c are disposed to correspond to the first hole portion 59a. ) And the second hole part 59b are simultaneously fastened, and the first hole part 59a and the third hole part 59c are simultaneously fastened to connect the frame top and the cabinet.

By the operation as described above it is possible to achieve the assembly work of the dryer and the time required to assemble the cabinet 50 is reduced.

After the assembly of the dryer is completed, when power is supplied to the driving motor 90 by a user's manipulation, the intake fan 72, the exhaust fan 82, and the drum (connected to the first and second rotating shafts 92 and 94) 60 is rotated, the air introduced into the cabinet 50 along the suction port 52 by the intake fan 72 is injected to the circumferential surface of the intake fan 72 as shown in FIG. The air is converted to a predetermined temperature or more while passing through the air, and the air passing through the heater 74 is formed in the cabinet 50 along the intake pipe 70 formed long in the vertical direction on the rear surface of the cabinet 50, as shown in FIG. 7. It is moved upwards.

Thereafter, the air introduced into the drum 60 through the through-hole part 62a flows in a whirlwind shape, contacts with the laundry, and performs a drying operation. The gasket provided between the opening of the drum 60 and the inner wall of the cabinet 50 ( A discharge port 64a is formed at 64, and the air discharged out of the drum 60 along the discharge port 64a flows through the connecting pipe 86 to the housing 84 of the exhaust fan 82. It moves along the exhaust pipe 80 in the housing 84 and is discharged out of the cabinet 50 through the discharge port 54.

As a result, assembling is easy and time and cost can be reduced, and since the intake fan, the exhaust fan, and the drum are rotated by one driving motor, a dryer which smoothly circulates the air inside and outside the drum with a small number of parts is used. Can be achieved.

Unlike the conventional invention, the dryer according to the present invention configured as described above has an intake fan, an exhaust fan, and a drum connected to one driving motor, so that the air circulated to the inside and the outside of the drum is smoothly made by the intake fan and the exhaust fan. Since the time required for the drying operation is reduced, and a plurality of fans are driven by one driving motor, the number of parts is reduced, and the cost for the drying operation is also reduced.

In addition, the dryer according to the present invention is because the hook ring and the coupling hole is formed in the frame top and the side panel can make the primary coupling so that the frame top body is seated accurately on the top of the side panel, and the first, second, third hole and By forming the fastening means made of bolts, by the secondary coupling of the frame top and the cabinet, there is an advantage that can reduce the time and cost required for the installation of the frame top.
