The invention relates to drying devices and is intended, in particular, for drying clothes and / or shoes and / or fruits, vegetables or herbs.

Thus, a drying cabinet for shoes is known, in which there are shelves for placing shoes located one above the other, a heating unit for supplying heat radiation to the locations of the shoes, and a heating unit control controller with a time setting function, the cabinet is made in the form of a core element and open on all sides, each shelf is inclined, equipped with elements for installing shoes with the socks up and made with through passages between the above elements, the heating block is it is in the form of heating panels with infrared radiation, located inside the cabinet frame obliquely one above the other, with each heating panel placed under the corresponding shelf in an inclined position corresponding to the inclination of the shelf, for transmitting infrared radiation through through passages to the shoe locations, each heating panel with IR radiation on the reverse side is made with a reflective layer to reflect the upward flow of infrared radiation from the lower shelf to the shoe locations on this shelf (RU 178701, F26B 9/06, A47L 23/20, D06F 58/10, publ. 04/17/2018).

A clothes dryer is also known, comprising a cabinet in the form of a frame made of rod elements forming racks and cross members, open on all sides and made with the legs resting on a support surface, an infrared heating panel located between the racks on one side of the cabinet and associated with them, hung for clothes and the control panel of the heating panel, configured to set the heating time, the heating panel with infrared radiation is made with a length equal to the height of the cabinet between the cross members, interconnecting racks, to which a heating panel is attached in the upper part of the cabinet above the said crossbars, there is a grid shelf for placing hats, while the cabinet is divided in height into two sections, the upper of which are located under the grid shelf, and in lower - at half the height of the cabinet from the legs to the crossbars, and hung in each section are made in the form of two rod elements horizontally spaced from each other for hanging on the clothes hangers in a checkerboard pattern (RU 179498, F26B 9/06, D06F 58/10, publ. May 16, 2018).

Currently, cabinets for drying clothes or shoes are in demand in manufacturing, sports and entertainment facilities, and children's institutions. Structurally, this is a closet for clothes or shoes with natural air exchange with the external environment or with a fan heater located at the bottom of the cabinet and the ability to control the air flow rate and temperature inside the cabinet.

To place clothes and shoes inside the cabinet, crossbars, grids or nets with a polymer coating or nickel are used, which are rearranged in height.

Ovens for clothes can be delivered as completely disassembled in a set or completely assembled or sectionally.

The produced drying cabinets are produced with a targeted focus; in such a cabinet, a certain layout of shelves and hung up is provided in advance. The target performance of the cabinets is determined by the audience of customers and users for whom the type and type of clothes or shoes to be dried are clear in advance. So, such users are either workers or athletes. But this does not mean that for home use the layout of the shelves proposed by the manufacturer and their type is suitable for families where clothes and shoes and hats differ in size and quantity. In addition, such specialized cabinets are heavy, as they are faced with metal sheets and equipped with doors.

Currently, the need for ovens is growing. But the drawback of such cabinets is determined by the fact that the manufacturer determines for the user the layout of the components inside the cabinet. And at the same time, such a layout is sometimes determined not by expediency or practicality, but by the fact that it is they who buy it more and, therefore, this layout suits the user.

In reality, the basis of any drying cabinet is the frame of this cabinet itself, and its filling is a variable, which each user has its own practical meaning. In this situation, it is practical to produce not cabinets for limited types of layouts, but cabinets frames that are easily mounted from standardized structural elements at the installation site and then filled with shelves of the required type at the buyer's choice and in accordance with his needs.

In addition, such cabinets should be lightweight and unified in terms of fixtures and components. It is expected that after the appearance of lightweight folding cabinets on the market, an increase in the consumption of such devices will appear, since the latter become convenient in transportation and have the ability to mount / assemble almost anywhere: in the country, in an apartment, on the street, in the woods, etc. .

The present invention solves the technical problem of creating the frame of the drying cabinet, which without the use of additional elements could be transformed into a structure that allows the use of different shelves in design for drying items for various purposes.

The technical result is to increase the expansion of the operational capabilities of the drying cabinet through the use of crossbars with the function of changing its length and the possibility of inclined fastening.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that in the drying cabinet-transformer, which is a parallelepiped-shaped frame made of rod elements open at least from two sides and forming the front side, the back side and two sides, the frame includes vertically mounted racks, the first cross-members for connecting the racks to each other in the lower and upper zones for the formation of a rectangular perimeter, the second cross-beams connected to adjacent racks, o developing side walls, at least some of which are used as supports for placing shelves for items to be dried, the first cross members for connecting the racks to each other in the lower and upper zones are each made in the form of a rod element that carries on each end an arm made in the form of a perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rod element of the plate with holes on different sides of this rod element for connection to the uprights, which are made along the length of the holes in the body, distance m I wait for each two of which is equal to the distance between the holes in the plate of the bracket of the rod element, and the second cross members connected to the racks forming the side walls are each made in the form of a rod element bearing on each end a bracket made in the form of a plate element perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rod with holes on different sides of this core element, repeating the design of the plate of the first cross member, while the plate is made with two ears, in which odolnye cutouts to accommodate therein movable along the axis of these cutouts passed through the end of the rod member, for joining to the pillars in the area between the first cross-members perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of struts or obliquely in relation to them.

In such a cabinet, the racks from the support side to the supporting surface can be made with legs, including height-adjustable ones, either equipped with rollers or plates are attached to them for fastening to the supporting surface with bolts or anchors.

In the cabinet, at least one shelf mounted on obliquely mounted cross members is made with shoe installation elements.

In the cabinet, at least one shelf mounted on the cross members is made in the form of a panel with infrared radiation.

In the cabinet, one of the shelves, fixed in the upper part of the frame, is made in the form of a grid or lattice, limited by a frame for attachment to crossbars or racks.

The cabinet can be equipped with hangers in the form of rod elements attached to the first cross-members, forming the upper rectangular perimeter of the frame and / or equipped with panels with infrared radiation, fixed on the back of the frame at least at a fraction of the height of the racks.

These features are significant and are interconnected with the formation of a stable set of essential features sufficient to obtain the desired technical result.

The present invention is illustrated by specific examples of execution, which, however, are not the only possible, but clearly demonstrate the ability to achieve the desired technical result.

FIG. 12 - cabinet for drying clothes and shoes with a panel with infrared radiation on the back side.

According to this utility model, the design of a collapsible drying device of the cabinet is considered, which allows transforming it for various items to be dried, depending on the needs of the user. In particular, for drying clothes and / or shoes and / or fruits, vegetables or herbs.

Analyzing the modern market of stationary-type drying devices, that is, built using a frame-mounted cabinet, it was revealed that the cabinet frame structurally contains an unchanged part, which is a core skeleton, which forms an open structure on all sides of a parallelepiped shape made of racks rigidly connected in the lower and upper cross-sections, and the variable part, which includes shelves of various designs and accessories and supports for these shelves, which are mounted either inclined to the racks, or rpendikulyarno uprights (depending on the type of shelves) and at the desired height.

In connection with this feature of the cabinet design, it seems possible to distinguish three components that can be considered as modules for constructing a cabinet for drying: racks, crossbars for connecting racks to each other and crossbars between racks for supporting the shelves. Such a cabinet can be considered as a transforming cabinet, that is, a cabinet that can be rebuilt for various consumer tasks.

In the General case and according to the present invention, such a drying transformer cabinet is a parallelepiped-shaped frame made of core elements open from at least two sides and forming a front side, a back side and two side sides (Fig. 1).

The cabinet frame (for example, the cabinet for drying shoes in Fig. 1) includes vertically mounted racks 1, the first crossbeams 2 for connecting the racks to each other in the lower (Fig. 5) and upper zones (Fig. 6) to form a rectangular plan perimeter, and the second cross members 3, attached to adjacent racks forming side walls, at least some of which are used as supports for placing shelves for dried items.

The first crossbeams 2 (Fig. 2) for connecting the racks 1 to each other in the lower and upper zones (Figs. 5 and 6) are each made in the form of a rod element 4, carrying a bracket 5 at each end, made in the form of a rod element located perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 4 plates 6 with holes 7 on different sides of this rod element for connection to the uprights 1.

Racks 1 along the length (height) are made with holes in the body, the distance between each two of which is equal to the distance between the holes in the plate of the bracket of the rod element.

Racks can be tubular, that is, made of pipes, and can have a cross-section in the shape of a rectangle (or square). Accordingly, the shape of the plate 6 of the bracket 5 also depends on the cross-sectional shape of the struts. In FIG. 2-4 shows the racks 1 of rectangular cross section, respectively, the plate 6 of the brackets are made flat for a snug fit to the surface of the racks in the area of the holes for the mounting element.

The racks on the abutment side of the supporting surface can be made with legs or equipped with rollers or plates are attached to them (as shown in Fig. 2) for fastening to the supporting surface with bolts or anchors. The legs can be made adjustable in height to adjust and adjust the position of the frame relative to the supporting surface.

Brackets 5 can be welded with plates to the ends of the rod elements 4 (one-piece construction). Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2, the bracket may include a plate 6, which has ears, between which the end part of the rod element 4 is located. Fastening is carried out by means of a coupler with a bolt passed through the holes in the ears and in the rod element. This mounting option can be either non-separable or collapsible design.

As part of the unification of the frame elements, the core element is made of the profile from which the racks are made.

The second cross members 3 (Figs. 3 and 4), attached to the struts forming the side walls 1, are each made in the form of a rod element 8, carrying a bracket 9 at each end, made in the form of a plate 10 located perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rod element 8 with holes different sides of this rod element, repeating the design of the plate 6 of the first cross member 2.

In this case, the bracket plate 9 is made with two ears 11, in which longitudinal cutouts 12 are made for placement in them with the possibility of moving along these cuts an axis 13, passed through the end of the rod element 8, for connecting to the racks in the area between the first cross-pieces perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the racks or obliquely with respect to them (Fig. 4).

In addition, the lengths of the rod elements of both types of cross members are made equal. The length of the first cross member from one of its plates to the plate at its other end and the length of the second cross member from one of its plates to the plate at its other end are also made equal when the axes of the core element of the second cross member are abutted in the cutout on the side of the plates. This allows the second cross member to be mounted between the uprights both in a horizontal position and in an inclined position (Fig. 4). At the same time, if the user changes one type of shelf, resting on horizontally located second cross-beams, to another type of shelf, which involves an inclined arrangement, then there is no need to replace the second cross-member, just fasten one edge of it and raise it to the desired level. Due to the displacement of the axes in the longitudinal cuts, the cross member is elongated, and the rotation of the plates around the same axes makes it possible to attach the plates to the uprights.

The profiles of racks and crossbars can be metal, plastic, etc. Manufacturing is possible from any steel, aluminum, polymer plastics, laminated plastic, etc. and from any profile. This allows you to vary the material for the manufacture of frames of the required or necessary strength and in order to reduce weight.

To connect the elements in the frame, bolt connection, connections on position fixators, on latches, veneer-groove connections, etc. can be used.

In the cabinet, at least one shelf 14, mounted on obliquely mounted cross members 3, is made with shoe mounting elements (Figs. 1 and 7).

In the cabinet, at least one shelf 15, mounted on the cross members 3, is made in the form of a panel with infrared radiation. Such a shelf can be used as a heat source to dry items on other shelves. In addition, the same shelf can be used to dry herbs or fruits.

Infrared panels in open cabinets can be positioned horizontally (for drying vegetables, fruits and herbs), vertically (for drying clothes) and tilted (for drying shoes and gloves).

In the cabinet, one of the shelves 16, fixed in the upper part of the frame, is made in the form of a grid or lattice, limited by a frame for attachment to crossbars or racks. This shelf is used to dry hats. As a rule, such a shelf is mounted in the upper zone of the cabinet frame (Fig. 1 and 6).

The cabinet can be equipped with hangers 17 in the form of rod elements attached to the first cross-pieces 2, forming the upper rectangular perimeter of the frame and / or provided with panels 18 with infrared radiation, fixed on the back side of the frame at least at part of the height of the racks (Fig. 9) .

Any of the shelves has a unified design, that is, it is made of a base frame on which elements for objects are mounted. The shelf can be attached to the crossbars, simply rely on the crossbars or have flanges 19 (Fig. 8) for bearing on the crossbars or bolted to them. The essence of the constructive solution to the methods of supporting the shelves on the crossbars is not the main task, but is determined by the consumer's requirements for the design. If the user needs a traveling version of the dryer, then shelves are used for temporary placement on the cross-beams by simply supporting them. After drying in the campaign, the shelves or racks are removed, and the frame is disassembled. If the need for drying clothes and shoes is constant (for example, during the period of seasonal rains), then the user attaches the shelves to the crossbars to ensure the stationary cabinet.

In fact, as practice shows, the user needs a limited number of shelves: one was hung, one shelf for shoes and one panel with IR radiation for installation on the crossbars or for fixing on the back of the frame. If necessary, this set of shelves is expanded, which requires the readjustment of a part of the second cross members 3 from horizontal to inclined position, when the horizontal shelf is replaced by a shelf for drying shoes. The claimed design of the cabinet frame allows you to transform the basic version of the dryer into several other options for different purposes.

A transformer cabinet can be transformed into five different target cabinets:

1) An open cabinet with infrared panels for drying clothes (Fig. 10). It consists of a frame in which the second cross members 3 are mounted horizontally (perpendicular to the uprights), panels 18 with infrared radiation are fixed on the back side to the full height of the cabinet, and hangers 17 are attached to the cross members 3 at the middle level of the racks and at the top of the frame perimeter. In the upper part is also fixed shelf 16 for drying hats.

2) An open cabinet with infrared panels for drying clothes and shoes (Fig. 12). It consists of a frame in which the second cross members 3 are mounted horizontally and obliquely or only obliquely, as shown in FIG. 12, panels 18 with IR radiation are fixed on the back side to a part of the cabinet height, and hung on hangers 2 are hung 17 in the upper part of the frame perimeter. In the lower part, a shelf 14 for drying shoes is obliquely fixed.

3) An open cabinet with infrared panels for drying shoes (Fig. 1). It consists of a frame, in which the second cross members 3 are mounted obliquely, as shown in FIG. 1, hangers 17 are attached to the cross members 2 at the top of the frame perimeter. In the upper part, a shelf 16 for drying hats is also fixed, and on the inclined crossbars 3, shelves 14 for drying shoes are tilted one above the other.

4) An open cabinet with infrared panels for drying fruits, vegetables and herbs (Fig. 11). It consists of a frame in which the second cross members 3 are mounted horizontally (perpendicular to the racks), and shelves 15 with infrared radiation are mounted on top of each other, and a shelf 16 (for drying hats) is also fixed in the upper part, which is used for layout for example herbs.

5) An open cabinet with street-mounted infrared panels with an awning (not shown) that closes the structure from penetration by wind and moisture, which turns into a closed cabinet. This awning can be made of heat-resistant and moisture-repellent fabric: carbon fiber, quartz fiber, aramid fabric, tarpaulin, silica fabric, taslan, oxford, duspo, etc.

Thus, the present invention allows to create a drying cabinet of universal design, allowing it to be converted into various modifications without the use of replaceable or additional frame elements.
