This functional feature of the device allows to increase the wear resistance of clothes due to high-quality and gentle automatic drying, and as a result, increase its service life. And also there is an opportunity to reduce the cost of electricity and storage of dried clothes.

This device comprises a chamber for placing objects to be dried therein, in which the drying air stream is circulated by taking air from the outside of the chamber and supplying it with air blowing means to the chamber for heating and subsequent removal of the humidified air stream from the chamber to the external environment. The camera is made in the form of a cabinet with elements for hanging clothes to be dried and shoes. Exhaust fans are mounted in the upper part of the cabinet. In the lower part of the cabinet, a thermal block is fixed, which includes means for heating the air coming from outside the chamber and means for pumping heated air into the chamber. The device is equipped with an electronic control system for the circulation of the drying air flow, which includes a control panel with manual settings for humidity, temperature and time, temperature and humidity sensors inside the chamber and executive units for controlling the on and off heating elements of the heat unit and fans.

The technology for drying clothes and shoes consists of placing wardrobe items in the chamber of the drying cabinet, equipped with an automatic, electronic control system for blowing and heating the air circulating inside the chamber, which is then forcibly removed using exhaust fans located at the top of the drying system. The electronic system of the drying cabinet independently determines the optimal operating parameters on the basis of continuously received data from humidity and temperature sensors and in an autonomous, automatic mode performs gentle and high-quality drying, in addition, the system disinfects and ionizes the air in the drying cabinet chamber.

Below is an example of a specific implementation of the device.

The drying device (Figs. 1 and 2) is a metal cabinet 1, for the execution of which metal sheets were used, for example, with a thickness of 0.8-1.2 mm, grade 08 PS. Surfaces are painted with powder polymer dyes. The cavity inside the cabinet forms a chamber for drying special clothes, shoes and hats. The camera is used for convenient not only storing work clothes and shoes, but also for drying them. This camera is also used for drying and other items (sports equipment, gear, equipment, etc.)

The camera inside the cabinet 1 is equipped with reflective insulation elements, shelves, crossbars, hinges, hooks for placing clothes and shoes or other drying items in it. These features are not considered in detail.

In the lower part of the drying chamber, a thermal unit 2 is attached to its base, consisting of heating elements, in particular electric finned stainless steel heating elements, with a maximum power consumption of 1.5 kW (the thermal unit installed in the lower part of the cabinet can be equipped with not only ribbed heating elements, but also with other types of heaters), and a fan that creates a uniform directed flow of heated air. Cold air 3 or ambient temperature is taken outside and enters the thermal unit 2, where it is heated to a predetermined temperature (Figs. 3 and 4). For air intake 3, couplings can be used to communicate the intake channel with the air injection system, or to directly capture air outside the room. Heated air 4 from the heat block 2 enters the chamber of the drying cabinet 1. The latter is equipped with an electronic blowing system with heated air circulating inside the chamber 5. The temperature inside the cabinet is controlled by the temperature sensor 6, and the temperature inside the chamber is displayed on the digital display of the digital control panel 7 located on the closet. The heating temperature is set from + 30 ° C to + 60 ° C depending on the humidity of the drying items. The control panel has the ability to flexibly program the temperature, thereby providing the ability to dry various tissues in different climatic conditions. As a result of drying, when the temperature set by the electronic system inside the chamber of the drying cabinet, moisture evaporates from the surface of the drying items.

Humidity inside the camera is controlled by a humidity sensor 8, the readings of which are also displayed on the digital display of the digital control panel 7.

To remove moist air 9 from the chamber of the drying cabinet, as well as unpleasant odors in its upper part, exhaust fans 10 and couplings (not shown) are used. The couplings are used to connect the blowing channels of the exhaust fans 9 of the drying cabinet with a public ventilation system (not shown), or to divert humidified air outside the room where the drying cabinet equipped with an electronic system is installed.

To conduct disinfection of the air and the surface of the dried items, which are placed in an oven equipped with an electronic system, a quartz bactericidal irradiator / Li 11 (quartz lamp) is used. And to neutralize static electricity from drying items, purify the air from pollution, use the built-in ionizer 12.

The use of an electronic meter-controller in the drying process made it possible to set the required parameters of the electronic system in automatic mode for drying clothes, shoes, and other items subjected to drying. Upon reaching the specified parameters in time or in the degree of humidity inside the chamber of the drying cabinet, the meter-controller automatically disables the operation of the heating elements of the heat unit and fans, thereby saving energy costs.

Contaminated and wet clothes, shoes, hats and personal protective equipment are placed in the chamber of the drying cabinet.

Then, activate the electronic system of the drying cabinet by pressing a button on the digital control panel 7.

Further, the system independently determines the optimal drying mode based on continuously received data from humidity and air temperature sensors. After their determination, the electronic system for blowing and heating the air is placed in the chamber of the drying system. The humidity and temperature inside the cabinet are continuously monitored by sensors 6 and 8, the readings of which are displayed on the digital display of the drying cabinet cyclically throughout the entire drying process.

In addition, air is disinfected by the drying chamber, with items of clothing, shoes and hats placed in it using a bactericidal quartz lamp. To neutralize static electricity from drying items, to clean the air from pollution, use the built-in ionizer. Regarding the ionizer and the quartz lamp: The quartz lamp is located in the upper part of the cabinet, and the ionizer in the lower (near the heat block). They also stop their work along with shutting down the system. The system is completely de-energized. And the ionizer itself and the quartz lamp work from the beginning of the drying process to its end.

Exhausted and humid air with unpleasant odors is removed from the chamber using exhaust fans and couplings that connect the drying system to the public ventilation system, or humidified air is removed outside the room where the drying chamber is installed.

Upon reaching the specified parameters for the degree of humidity inside the chamber of the drying cabinet, the electronic system is automatically turned off. The electronic control system is also made with the possibility of implementing the function of stopping the drying process after a specified time or when a predetermined level of air humidity inside the chamber is reached.

The device has a cyclical process of heating and extracting air, until the specified percentage of humidity is reached (i.e. heating-extracting, heating-extracting, heating-extracting), until the humidity measurement sensor displays a pre-programmed value and then the system turns off completely, together with an ionizer and a quartz lamp. It is carried out as follows. The operator sets on the control panel the maximum temperature for heating the air in the chamber, for example 42 ° C, the drop temperature due to the removal of air flow from the chamber through the exhaust fans, for example 12 ° C, the humidity value is 10%, and the timer takes 6 hours. After the initiation of the drying process, the air circulating in the chamber is heated, and the humidity is about 90%. When the air temperature reaches 42 ° C, the exhaust fans turn on and the heat block turns off, the temperature drops to 30 ° C, humidity - up to 80%. After which the heat block is turned on again, air is heated. When the temperature reaches 42 ° C, the exhaust fans are switched on and the heat unit is turned off. Temperature drops to 30 ° C, humidity - up to 80%. The heating-hood process is repeated many times and the operation of the device ends when the humidity sensor shows 10% or after 6 hours, whichever comes first.

The proposed device allows not only to store, but also to carry out high-quality and gentle drying of clothes, shoes, hats and other items in various climatic conditions in a fully automatic mode.

In addition, the proposed device increases the wear resistance of special clothes due to high-quality drying. Using the device allows you to reduce the cost of the purchase of special clothing, shoes and personal protective equipment for the employee and extend their service life. And also reduce the cost of electricity associated with drying clothes and reduce the risk of fire in the room where the drying system is installed.
