2 and 3, the foldable dish drying module 100 includes a first plate 110 and a second plate 120 which are folded or unfolded according to rotation.

The upper and lower directions in the following description are based on a state in which the first plate 110 and the second plate 120 are extended 180 degrees.

The first plate 110 and the second plate 120 may have a flat plate shape, and the edge portion may have a shape slightly raised upward. Also, only a part of the edge is flat, and the drains 113 and 123 can be formed. That is, the drying object may be placed in the central part of the first plate 110 and the second plate 120, and the water flowing from the drying object by the edge portion that has been raised upward may flow through the first plate 110 and the second plate 120 May be located within the plate (120). Then, the water flowing out from the object to be dried can be discharged to the outside by the drains 113, 123 which are made flat.

More specifically, the induction guides 112 and 122 are protruded upward to have a predetermined height. The induction guides 112 and 122 are formed to have a length from the opposite side of the drains 113 and 123 to the drains 113 and 123, (113, 123). Accordingly, the object to be dried is placed on the guide guides 112 and 122, and the water flowing from the object to be dried flows down to the first plate 110 and the second plate 120 and is guided by the guide guides 112 and 122 Drain 113 and 123 and can be discharged to the outside.

The first plate 110 and the second plate 120 may be inclined to be inclined toward the drains 113 and 123 so that water can be smoothly discharged to the drains 113 and 123. The bottom surface of the first plate 110 is not shown in the figure but the bottom surface of the first plate 110 and the second plate 120 are provided with the drain 113, A second support protrusion 125 having a height higher than that of the first support protrusion 124 may be formed on the opposite side of the drains 113 and 123. [ Thus, since the first plate 110 and the second plate 120 are inclined to the side where the drains 113 and 123 are formed, the water flowing out from the object to be dried can be discharged more smoothly. Accordingly, the folding type dish drying module 100 of the present embodiment can be easily drained, thereby solving the problem of hygiene and odor due to the phenomenon of water sticking, and can be more conveniently used because the cleaning period becomes longer.

Although the first plate 110 and the second plate 120 have been described above with respect to the feature that the edge portions of the first plate 110 and the second plate 120 are curled upward, The anti-departure portions 116 and 127, which are formed on the opposite side edge portions of the other portions, may be formed. Accordingly, when the first plate 110 and the second plate 120 are unfolded and the object to be dried is held, the object to be dried is supported by the separation preventing portions 116 and 127 to prevent the object to be dried, In the folded state of the plate 110 and the second plate 120, the separation preventing portions 116 and 127 can abut against each other.

At this time, the release preventing portion 127 formed on the second plate 120 is inserted into the release preventing portion 116 formed on the first plate 110 to be slightly pressed so that the first plate 110, 2 plate 120 in a closed state. The first plate 110 and the second plate 120 may be provided with a separate locking device to maintain the folded state of the first plate 110 and the second plate 120, The plates 120 may be free to rotate relative to one another.

Meanwhile, a pair of hinges 111 and 121 may be provided on both sides of the first plate 110 and the second plate 120, respectively. The width between the pair of hinges 111 provided on the first plate 110 is greater than the width between the pair of hinges provided on the second plate 120, And a hinge provided on the second plate 120 may be positioned between the hinges 111. [ The hinges 111 and 121 of the first plate 110 and the second plate 120 may be coupled to each other by a rotation axis 130 which intersects the hinges 111 and 121.

 The hinges 111 and 121 may be integrally formed with the first plate 110 and the second plate 120, respectively, or may be joined together by separate joining members. The first and second plates 110 and 120 and the hinges 111 and 121 are connected by the wires 114 and 126, respectively.

The wire 114 is connected to a pair of hinges 111 provided on the first plate 110 and connected to the pair of hinges 111 via the separation preventing part 116. [ 111). That is, the wire 114 can extend from the hinge 111 on one side to the hinge 111 on the other side via the outside of the escape prevention portion 116. In other words, the wire 114 is coupled to the first plate 110 at the outside of the departure prevention portion 116, and both ends of the wire 114 are coupled to the pair of hinges 111, The hinge 111 can be engaged.

The second plate 120 is also coupled to the hinge 121 through the wire 126. Since the coupling type is the same as the coupling between the first plate 110 and the hinge 111, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The wires 114 and 126 are bent so that at least a part of the portion between the hinge 111 and the hinge 111 and the escape prevention part 116 protrudes upward so that the first plate 110 And the drying object placed on the second plate 120 can be prevented from deviating to the outside.

The rotation shaft 130 may be exposed to the outside in a state where the first plate 110 and the second plate 120 are folded. A handle 132 is provided on the rotary shaft 130 so that the foldable dishwashing module can be easily moved with one hand using the handle 132 in a state in which the first plate 110 and the second plate 120 are folded. have.

In addition, the first plate 110 may be provided with a water-repellent portion 115 which is extended by a predetermined width toward the rotation shaft 130 to provide a space for mounting a relatively small-volume object such as the water- have. The first and second plates 110 and 120 are positioned below the rotating shaft 130 when the first and second plates 110 and 120 are extended. The first plate 110 and the second plate 120 may be spaced apart from each other in a state where the first plate 110 and the second plate 120 are unfolded and the lower space of the rotation axis 130 may be efficiently used.

The first plate 110 and the second plate 120 are configured to be folded or unfolded according to rotation so that the folding type dish drying module 100 is unfolded and used as a dish dryer or folded when not in use, And it is easy to store and move. As a result, it can be used at home, and can be easily used outdoors when camping.

A dish holder 140 may be placed on the first plate 110 or the second plate 120. The dish holder 140 is configured to vertically mount the dish 16 and is similar to a general dish holder 140, so that a detailed description of the shape will be omitted. The dish holder 140 is detachable from the first plate 110 and the second plate 120 and may be placed on the first plate 110 or the second plate 120 according to the user's needs. However, the dish rest 140 may be located inside the folding type dish drying module 100 when the folding type dish drying module 100 is folded. Therefore, the storage and the mobility of the foldable dish dryer module 100 are improved, and the possibility of loss can be minimized.

The first plate 110 and the second plate 120 may be made of resin such as plastic or the like and the wires 114 and 126, the rotating shaft 130, the dish holder 140, As the material, a corrosion-resistant metal such as stainless steel can be applied. In other words, a portion that becomes a simple mounting space is made of a light material, and a metal can be used for a portion where strength or durability is required for bonding or rotation. Thus, the weight of the folding type dish drying module 100 can be minimized, and the mobility can be improved. In addition, the production cost can be reduced by minimizing the use of the corrosion-resistant metal, which is relatively expensive compared to the resin series.

Meanwhile, the separable dishwasher drying module may include a third plate 200 and a pedestal 300.

4 is a perspective view showing a third plate of the folding table dryer according to the embodiment of the present invention.

4, the third plate 200 may be positioned on the first plate 110 or the second plate 120, or may be disposed on the first plate 110 or the second plate 120, (110) and the second plate (120). The third plate 200 may have a plate shape and a trapezoid shape in which the edge portion is slightly curled up. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the water flowing out from the object to be dried from flowing to the outside.

A plurality of mounting protrusions 210 having different heights may be formed on the third plate 200 so as to protrude upward. Therefore, the object to be dried such as the cup 18 can be turned upside down and the mounting protrusion 210 can be received inside the object to be dried, thereby mounting the object to be dried. A third plate 200 of this type may be particularly useful for drying cups 18.

The third plate 200 may be used alone, but it may be installed in the folding type dish drying module 100 so that the drying space may be configured in multiple stages to efficiently utilize the space. To this end, a pedestal 300 may be provided to position the third plate 200 at a predetermined height.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 7, only the third plate 200 may be installed in the foldable dish dryer module 100 of the present embodiment. For example, the second plate 120 may be extended to the first plate 110 such that the second plate 120 is perpendicular to the first plate 110, and the third plate 200 may be installed on the second plate 120. In this case, since the mounting protrusion 210 formed on the third plate 200 protrudes vertically forward with respect to the second plate 120, the cup 18 can be dried by hanging it. At this time, the second plate 120 and the third plate 200 may be fixed by separate fixing members, and grooves and protrusions for fixing may be formed on the second plate 120 and the third plate 200 And may be combined with each other.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. It is obvious to them.
