Description

{FABRIC DRYER}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a clothes dryer capable of separating clothes to dry using a basket.

Generally, a clothes dryer is a device for drying clothes by blowing hot air into a drum into which wet clothes are put. The clothes dryer can be divided into an exhaust dryer and a condenser dryer depending on the method of treating the wet air discharged from the drum after drying the clothes.

In the exhaust type dryer, the air heated by the heater is supplied into the drum to dry the clothes, and the humid air discharged from the drum is exhausted to the outside of the dryer. This method does not require a separate means for condensing the moisture because the moisture removed from the clothes is discharged to the outside of the dryer together with the air.

The condensing dryer is circulated along a circulating flow passage configured to allow the air heated by the heater to pass through the drum, and the moisture contained in the air is condensed or removed in the circulation process.

In such a conventional clothes dryer, since the space in which the clothes are accommodated is limited to the drum, the clothes can not be separated and dried. In some cases, the user may need to separate and dry these clothes at will. For example, ordinary users do not prefer to mix with other garments in the case of sensitive garments such as underwear or newborn appliances. However, since conventional garment dryers can not separate and dry the garments, only these sensitive garments There is a problem in that the clothes dryer must be operated again for drying other clothes after putting in and drying out.

In addition, since the clothes are dried at a different speed depending on the material, when the clothing of the material of which the drying is fast is made and the material of the material which is made relatively late is put into the drum together, A problem may arise in that clothes made of a material that is quickly formed are dried. Therefore, it is necessary to stop the operation of the dryer before the drying operation is completed and take out the clothes of the material which is dried quickly. However, in the conventional clothes dryer, since all the clothes are mixed in the drum, it is troublesome for the user to select and dry the clothes that have been completely dried.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a basket in which a garment can be separated from other clothes and dried separately from the other clothes in order to change the position of the clothes in the basket, And to provide a clothes dryer in which rotation is performed.

Second, the basket is detachably coupled to the inlet formed in the casing.

Thirdly, the basket is rotatably provided on the door.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a clothes dryer for drying clothing by supplying hot air into a drum rotatably accommodated in the clothes.

The clothes dryer includes a casing having a front panel on which the drum is disposed, a front surface on which an inlet for communicating with the drum is formed, and a basket detachably coupled to the casing.

The basket is for accommodating a separate garment separated from the garment to be put into the drum. The basket forms a space for accommodating clothes, and is supported by the front panel in a state of being inserted into the inlet. A plurality of through holes are formed in the basket to allow hot air supplied into the drum to flow into the space.

A door is rotatably coupled to the front panel, and the opening of the basket is closed by the door.

The basket includes a receiver supporter detachably coupled to the input port, and a receiver forming the space and rotatably coupled to the receiver supporter.

A basket driving motor is provided in the casing, and the receptacle is rotated by the basket driving motor.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a clothes dryer, wherein a basket is provided in the door to receive clothing separately from the drum. The basket is placed in the drum through the inlet port in a state where the door is closed, and a plurality of through holes are formed so that hot air supplied into the drum flows into the space.

The door is provided with a basket driving motor, and the basket is rotated by the basket driving motor.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The clothes dryer of the present invention has an effect that clothes (for example, underwear) requiring separation drying can be put in a basket and dried separately from clothes put on the drum. Particularly, since the basket is rotated by the basket driving motor, the clothes accommodated in the basket can be dried evenly.

In addition, the basket can be detachably coupled to the inlet formed in the casing. In this case, the user can selectively install the basket only when it is necessary to separate and dry the clothes, so that the convenience of use is formed . Particularly, in order to insert clothes into the drum, the inlet port must be opened. In this case, by simply removing the basket, it is not inconvenient to use even during normal drying using the drum. Further, since the basket can be separated from the casing, it is convenient to move the basket while keeping the basket in the state in which the clothes are put.

Alternatively, the basket may be provided on the door. In this case, opening the door improves usability because the basket does not hinder the introduction of the garment into the drum.

In addition, in the clothes dryer of the present invention, when clothing is put into both the drum and the basket and drying is performed, the basket is loaded with clothes of which material is completed to be dried quickly, and before the drying operation is completed, , The drying of the clothes in the drum can be completed by continuing the operation after taking out the clothes in the dried basket. Such a method is advantageous in that, compared with a method in which clothes with quick drying and late clothes are put into the drum at one time and dried, drying and drying of the clothes (when the drying operation is set so that drying of all the clothes is completed) There is an effect that it is possible to prevent the occurrence of drying (in the case where the drying operation is set corresponding to the clothes in which the drying is performed quickly).
