Description

bedding dryer

technical field

The present invention relates to a bedding drying device for drying bedding such as bedding.

Background technique

The bedding drying machine described in the following patent document 1 includes: a box body in which a drying chamber is formed; loaded. A heater and a fan are arranged on the upper part of the box body. The mounting member is made of an air-permeable material. When the bedding dryer starts drying operation, the heater and fan work. Thereby, outside air is taken in from the outside air inlet behind the heater, is heated, becomes warm air, and flows into the drying chamber. After the warm air flows into the interior space of the mounting member through the bedding placed on the mounting member in the drying chamber, the warm air reaches the exhaust duct from the suction port at the lower part of the side wall of the drying chamber and is discharged outside the machine. Facilitates drying of bedding by passing warm air through the interior of the bedding.

The dryer described in Patent Document 2 below has a basic structure similar to that of the bedding dryer described in Patent Document 1, and further includes a suppressing portion for suppressing the dangling. The suppressing part has a base provided on the front surface of the mounting member, and a protrusion protruding rearward from the base. By sandwiching the front end of the bedding between the mounting member and the protruding portion, the hanging of the front end of the bedding can be suppressed.

The dryer described in Patent Document 2 suppresses warm air from escaping into the gap between the front end of the bedding and the mounting member without passing through the interior of the bedding by the suppressing portion, thereby improving drying efficiency of the bedding. However, the user needs to clamp the front end of the bedding between the loading member and the protrusion before starting the drying operation, in addition to carrying out the loading and unloading of the loading member into and out of the drying chamber and the detachment of the bedding from the loading member. Between the parts, or after the drying operation is completed, the front end of the bedding is removed from between the mounting member and the protruding part, so the usability is poor.

Invention effect

According to the present invention, in the bedding drying device, when the warm air is supplied from the supply unit while the trolley on which the bedding is placed in a mountain-folded state on the surface of the placement unit is stored in the drying chamber of the device main body, the warm air passes through the The ventilation holes of the surface portion of the seating portion flow through the drying chamber and the hollow portion of the seating portion and at this time pass through the interior of the bedding. Thereby, bedding can be dried. The pressing member provided on the trolley presses the bedding on the setting part against the surface of the setting part, so even if the bedding has strong resilience, it can prevent the bedding from being suspended from the setting part from being stuck between the bedding and the surface of the setting part. Create a gap. As a result, the warm air flowing through the drying chamber and the hollow portion of the seating portion can reliably pass through the inside of the bedding without escaping into the gap, so that the bedding drying device can improve the drying efficiency of the bedding.

The pressing member is movable between a pressing position for pressing the bedding on the setting part against the surface of the setting part, and a release position for being farther from the pressing position than the surface of the setting part. When the pressing member is in the release position, the pressing member is released from pressing the bedding, so the user can remove the bedding from the setting part, and also can re-place the bedding on the setting part. In the bedding drying device, the interlocking mechanism moves the pressing member to the release position in conjunction with pulling the trolley out of the drying chamber, and moves the pressing member to the pressing position in conjunction with storing the trolley into the drying chamber. Therefore, as long as the user puts the bedding on the placement part and stores the trolley in the drying chamber, the pressing member will automatically move to the pressing position to suppress the bedding on the placement part from being suspended. In addition, since the pressing member automatically moves to the release position as long as the user pulls out the trolley from the drying chamber, the user can easily remove the bedding from the seating portion without any additional effort. As a result of the above, the improvement of usability can be aimed at in the structure which suppresses that the bedding is suspended.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, the pressing members provided in pairs sandwiching the seating portion are closed as they move to the pressing position, thereby pinching the bedding on the seating portion and pressing it against the surface of the seating portion. The pair of pressing members expand as they move toward the release position, thereby leaving the bedding on the seating portion to release the pressing. Since the urging member provided on the trolley urges the pair of pressing members to the pressing position, these pressing members can reliably press the bedding on the setting portion against the surface portion of the setting portion.

In addition, according to the present invention, an example of a linkage mechanism may include: a forward and backward member provided on a trolley; and a guide member fixed to an apparatus main body. The guide member guides the advancing and retreating member to the advancing position as the trolley is stored in the drying chamber, and the advancing and retreating member moves the pressing member to the pressing position. The guide member guides the advancing and retreating member to the retracted position as the trolley is drawn out of the drying chamber, and the advancing and retreating member moves the pressing member to the release position.

Moreover, according to this invention, the interlocking mechanism of another example may have the guide member fixed to the apparatus main body. The guide member guides the pressing member to the pressing position as the trolley is stored in the drying chamber, and the guide member guides the pressing member to the releasing position as the trolley is drawn out of the drying chamber.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, still another example of an interlocking mechanism may include: a wire spanning between a pair of pressing members; and an engaging member fixed to the device main body and engaged with the wire. The engaging member pulls the wire as the trolley is drawn out of the drying chamber, thereby causing the pair of pressing members to open and move to the release position. The engagement member releases the pull of the wire as the trolley is stored in the drying chamber, thereby closing the pair of pressing members and moving them to the pressing position.

In addition, according to the present invention, the pressing member includes: a pressing main body that actually presses the bedding; and a guide that is disposed above the pressing main body and that is away from the seating portion as it goes upward. When the pressing member is at the release position, the guide portion guides the bedding placed on the seating portion between the pressing main body and the surface portion, thereby preventing the placed bedding from protruding from between the pressing main body and the surface and being pressed against the pressing member. On, easy to place bedding.

The ventilation holes 22A are distributed over the entire area of each of the left area 22CB and the right area 22CC. In addition, in each figure after FIG. 3, illustration of the ventilation hole 22A is abbreviate|omitted.

Such a cart 3 can be pulled out from the drying chamber 2B of the apparatus main body 2 to the front side Y1 in a state where the door 9 is in the open position. The user holds the handle 25A when pulling out and storing the dolly 3 . The user places the double-folded bedding P on the placement portion 22 of the trolley 3 drawn out to the drawn position shown in FIG. 3 . At this time, the bedding P comes into contact with the surface portion 22C of the seating portion 22 in a state of being folded along the main body portion 24 of the seating portion 22 , and closes the ventilation hole 22A of the main body portion 24 .

Then, the user pushes the trolley 3 into the drying chamber 2B through the entrance and exit 2A of the apparatus main body 2, and stores it. All the trolleys 3 in the storage position shown in FIG. 4 are stored in the drying chamber 2B, and are arranged on the bottom wall 5 of the apparatus main body 2 . It should be noted that the rear inclined surface 21D (refer to FIG. 1 ) of the protruding portion 21B provided on the lower surface portion of the base portion 21 of the dolly 3 smoothly passes over the front end of the bottom wall 5, so that the dolly 3 being stored can be prevented from getting stuck. 5 on the bottom wall.

A pair of left and right guide grooves 26 for respectively receiving left and right wheels 23 of the trolley 3 are provided on the upper surface portion of the bottom wall 5 (see FIG. 2 ). In addition, it is not limited to the guide groove 26, and in the following description, the member arrangement|positioning of a "pair of left and right" is left-right symmetrical. Each guide groove 26 extends in the front-back direction Y. As shown in FIG. The hollow portion constituting the exhaust passage 13 in the bottom wall 5 and the outlet 5A are located between these guide grooves 26 (see FIG. 2 ). The bogie 3 pulled out to the pull-out position is in a state where the pair of left and right wheels 23 on the rear side Y2 are received one by one by the guide grooves 26 (see FIG. 3 ). By receiving all four wheels 23 in the guide groove 26, the cart 3 in the storage position is positioned in the left-right direction X in the drying chamber 2B. In this state, when the user closes the door 9 to the closed position, the base 21 is sandwiched between the rear wall 7 of the device main body 2 and the door 9, so the trolley 3 in the drying chamber 2B is moved in the front-rear direction Y. Positioning (refer to Figure 4).

The trolley 3 stored in the drying chamber 2B with the bedding P placed on the setting part 22 is in a state where the bedding P blocks the ventilation hole 22A of the main body part 24 as described above, and the relay hole 21A of the base part 21 is viewed from the upper side Z1. The outlet 5A of the bottom wall 5 of the main body 2 is opposed to and connected to. In addition, each guide groove 26 may be arranged so as to become shallower toward the rear side Y2, and the wheel 23 on the rear side Y2 may be arranged on the upper side Z1 than the wheel 23 on the front side Y1 (see FIG. 16 ). Thereby, since the trolley 3 is accommodated in the drying chamber 2B while rising slowly, 21 A of relay holes can be made to oppose 5 A of exits from upper side Z1 smoothly. It should be noted that, in the trolley 3 accommodated in the drying chamber 2B, the base 21 is arranged horizontally, and the top area 22CA of the surface portion 22C of the setting part 22 is also arranged horizontally, so the top part of the bedding P on the setting part 22 is horizontal. configuration.

When the bedding drying apparatus 1 starts the drying operation with the trolley 3 accommodated in the drying chamber 2B, the air blower 14 and the heating unit 15 operate as described above. At this time, the outside air that is taken into the suction passage 12 from the suction port 6A and heated by the heating part 15, that is, warm air, flows into the drying chamber 2B from the inlet 6B, and is blown to the bedding P in the drying chamber 2B (refer to FIG. 1 and black arrows in Figure 2).

The warm air blown to the bedding P passes through the inside of the bedding P, reaches the air hole 22A of the main body portion 24 , and flows into the internal space 22B of the seating portion 22 from the air hole 22A. Thereby, bedding P can be dried. Then, the warm air flowing into the internal space 22B through the bedding P flows out to the exhaust passage 13 through the relay hole 21A of the base 21 and the outlet 5A of the bottom wall 5, and is exhausted out of the machine through the exhaust port 6C. In this way, the internal space 22B of the seating part 22 is a hollow part constituting a passage of the warm air supplied from the supply part 11 and passing through the inside of the bedding P. It should be noted that the space between the relay hole 21A and the outlet 5A is surrounded by the protruding portion 21B of the base portion 21 , so warm air does not flow out to the exhaust passage 13 , and leakage of the warm air from this space can be prevented. Then, when the bedding P is dried by blowing the warm air on the bedding P for a predetermined time, the drying operation ends.

Pressing members 31 protruding upward Z1 are provided on both left and right sides of the mounting portion 22 of the base portion 21 of the trolley 3 . That is, a pair of pressing mechanisms 31 are provided to sandwich the placement portion 22 .

The size in the front-back direction Y of each pressing member 31 is substantially the same as the size in the front-back direction Y of the base portion 21 and the placement portion 22 . Each pressing member 31 is constituted by, for example, a pipe bent into an inverted U-shape in side view. Such a pressing member 31 has at least: a front vertical portion 31A and a rear vertical portion 31B arranged in the front-rear direction Y and extending in the vertical direction Z; and extending along the front-rear direction Y;

The front end portion of the rotation shaft 31D is arranged on the front side Y1 from the lower end portion of the front vertical portion 31A, and is fixed to the front end portion of the base portion 21 via the front bracket 32 . The front bracket 32 is L-shaped, and has: a vertical plate portion 32A formed in a semicircular shape when viewed from the front-rear direction Y, and a front end portion to which the rotation shaft 31D is fixed; and a horizontal plate portion 32B extending from the lower end of the vertical plate portion 32A to The front side Y1 protrudes and is fixed to the upper surface portion of the base 21 .

The rear end portion of the rotation shaft 31D is arranged on the rear side Y2 from the lower end portion of the rear vertical portion 31B, and is fixed to the rear end portion of the base portion 21 via the rear bracket 33 . The rear bracket 33 is L-shaped and has: a vertical plate portion 33A formed in a semicircular shape when viewed from the front-rear direction Y and a rear end portion to which the rotation shaft 31D is fixed; and a horizontal plate portion 33B extending from the lower end of the vertical plate portion 33A. It protrudes toward the rear side Y2 and is fixed to the upper surface of the base 21 .

Each pressing member 31 is rotatable left and right about a rotation shaft 31D. Accordingly, each pressing member 31 is movable between a pressing position (see FIG. 2 ) close to the surface portion 22C of the placement portion 22 and a release position (see FIG. 3 ) away from the pressing position from the surface portion 22C. Specifically, the left pressing member 31L of the pair of pressing members 31 approaches the left region 22CB of the surface portion 22C from the left side X1 when in the pressing position, and moves away from the left region 22CB to the left X1 when in the releasing position. The right pressing member 31R approaches the right region 22CC of the surface portion 22C from the right side X2 when in the pressing position, and moves away from the right region 22CC to the right X2 when in the releasing position. Therefore, the pair of pressing members 31 close as they move to the pressing position, and open as they move to the releasing position.

When each pressing member 31 is in the pressing position with the bedding P placed on the setting part 22, at least the horizontal part 31C of each pressing member 31 presses the bedding P on the setting part 22 from the outside of the trolley 3 in the left-right direction X. on the surface portion 22C of the placement portion 22 . That is, the closed pair of pressing members 31 sandwich the bedding P on the seating portion 22 from the outside of the dolly 3 in the left-right direction X. Hereinafter, the outer side of the bogie 3 in the left-right direction X may be simply referred to as "outer side". The outer side is also the opposite side of the seating portion 22 with respect to the pressing member 31 . Conversely, the side of the cart 3 that is close to the placement portion 22 in the left-right direction X may be referred to as "inside".

The pressing member 31 at the pressing position presses the bedding P on the setting part 22 against the surface part 22C of the setting part 22. Therefore, even the bedding P with strong resilience can prevent the bedding P from hanging from the setting part 22. A gap is generated between P and the surface portion 22C of the seating portion 22 . As a result, the warm air flowing through the drying chamber 2B and the interior space 22B of the seating portion 22 can pass through the inside of the bedding P reliably without escaping into the gap. Therefore, the bedding drying device 1 can improve the drying of the bedding P. dry efficiency. On the other hand, when the pressing member 31 is at the release position, the pressing of the bedding P by the pressing member 31 is released, so the user can remove the bedding P from the setting part 22, and also can replace the bedding P on the setting part 22.

The bedding drying device 1 further includes an interlocking mechanism 40 for moving each pressing member 31 between a pressing position and a release position in conjunction with pulling out and storing the trolley 3 from the drying chamber 2B. The first to third examples of the interlocking mechanism 40 can be mentioned, and the first to third examples will be described in order below.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the linkage mechanism 40 of the first example has a biasing member 41 and a forward and backward member 42 and is provided on the trolley 3 . The urging member 41 and the forward/retractable member 42 are provided as a pair of left and right corresponding to the pair of pressing members 31 .

In association with the urging member 41 , a shaft 43 is fixed to the rear end portion of the rotation shaft 31D of each pressing member 31 . The shaft 43 penetrates a part of the rear end of the rotating shaft 31D that is closer to the front side Y1 than the vertical plate portion 33A of the rear bracket 33 in the radial direction of the rotating shaft 31D, and extends parallel to the rear vertical portion 31B of the pressing member 31. . The shaft 43 has an upper portion 43A on the upper side Z1 than the rotational axis 31D, and a lower portion 43B on the lower side Z2 than the rotational axis 31D. The lower part 43B is arranged on the outer side than the upper part 43A. The shaft 43 is rotatable about the rotation axis 31D together with the pressing member 31 . The shaft 43 may be regarded as a part of the pressing member 31 , and the shaft 43 may be regarded as a part of the interlocking mechanism 40 .

Referring to FIG. 6 , the urging member 41 is a coil spring. The urging member 41 has: a coil-shaped main body portion 41A, a portion on the rear side Y2 of the vertical plate portion 33A of the rear bracket 33 at the rear end portion wound around the rotation shaft 31D of each pressing member 31 ; The portion 41B extends from the main body portion 41A to the upper side Z1 ; and the second tip portion 41C extends from the main body portion 41A to the outer side and the lower side Z2 . The upper end portion of the first distal end portion 41B is bent and extends to the front side Y1. The second tip portion 41C is in contact with the upper surface portion of the base portion 21 of the cart 3 from the upper side Z1. The upper end of the first distal end portion 41B is locked on the upper portion 43A of the shaft 43 from the outside, and biases the pressing member 31 toward the surface portion 22C of the seating portion 22 by tending to separate from the second distal end portion 41C. In this manner, the pair of pressing members 31 are biased toward the pressing position by the respective corresponding biasing members 41 .

Referring to FIG. 7 , the advancing and retreating members 42 are arranged one by one on the upper surface of the base 21 outside the rear end of the rotation shaft 31D of each pressing member 31 . Each advancing/retracting member 42 has: a small plate-shaped bracket 42A flat in the vertical direction Z; a rotating shaft 42B provided at an outer end portion of the bracket 42A and extending in the vertical direction Z; and a roller 42C supported by the rotating shaft 42B.

The inner end portion 42AA of the bracket 42A is in contact with the lower portion 43B of the shaft 43 at the rear end portion of the rotation shaft 31D from the outer side. The bracket 42A is attached to the upper surface portion of the base 21 via a rotation shaft 44 extending in the up-down direction Z through a front end portion thereof. As a result, the entire advancing and retreating member 42 can turn left and right about the turning shaft 44 . The roller 42C is flat in the up-down direction Z, and is rotatable about a rotation shaft 42B inserted through the center. At least a part of the outer peripheral surface of the roller 42C is arranged to be exposed outward from the holder 42A.

Each advancing and retreating member 42 that rotates around the rotation shaft 44 is capable of an advanced position (see FIG. 5 , FIG. 6 , and FIG. 11 ) that moves outward away from the placement portion 22 and a retracted position that retreats from the advanced position toward the placement portion 22 side, that is, to the inside. Positions (refer to Figures 7 to 9) advance and retreat left and right. Each advancing member 42 presses the lower part 43B of the shaft 43 at the rear end of the rotating shaft 31D of the pressing member 31 against the biasing force of the biasing member 41 when retracted to the retracted position, so that the pressing member 31 moves to the release position. Since each advancing and retreating member 42 weakens the pressing on the lower portion 43B of the shaft 43 when advancing to the advanced position, the pressing member 31 moves to the pressing position by the urging force of the urging member 41 .

Referring to FIG. 8 , the linkage mechanism 40 of the first example further includes a guide member 45 fixed to the device main body 2 . The guide member 45 has a long block shape in the front-rear direction Y, is provided as a pair on the left and right corresponding to the pair of pressing members 31, and is arranged in an area on the side of the entrance and exit 2A in the drying chamber 2B. The guide member 45 of the left side X1 is fixed to the lower end portion of the front end portion of the right surface portion of the side wall 4 of the left side X1 in the apparatus main body 2 . The guide member 45 of the right side X2 is fixed to the lower end portion of the front end portion of the left surface portion of the side wall 4 of the right side X2 in the apparatus main body 2 .

In the guide member 45 on the left side X1, the right surface portion is the inner surface portion 45A, and in the guide member 45 on the right side X2, the left surface portion is the inner surface portion 45A. The inner surface portion 45A of each guide member 45 has: a first guide surface 45B extending flatly in the front-rear direction Y as a front side region of the inner surface portion 45A; and a second guide surface 45C extending from the rear end of the first guide surface 45B. It extends obliquely toward the rear side Y2 and outward.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 , when the trolley 3 is in the pull-out position, the first guide surface 45B of each guide member 45 is in contact with the roller 42C of the advancing and retreating member 42 on the same side in the left-right direction X from the outside. Since the forward and backward member 42 is pressed to the retracted position, each pressing member 31 is in the released position. When the user moves the cart 3 from this state to the rear side Y2 in order to store the cart 3 in the drying chamber 2B, the roller 42C moves to the rear side Y2 while rotating along the inner surface portion 45A of the guide member 45 . .

Then, when the roller 42C approaches the second guide surface 45C of the inner surface portion 45A as shown in FIG. 10 , each advancing and retreating member 42 moves outward by the urging force of the urging member 41 . Thereafter, when the roller 42C passes the second guide surface 45C toward the rear side Y2 as shown in FIG. 11 , each advancing and retreating member 42 reaches the advanced position, so each pressing member 31 is arranged at the pressing position. When the user further moves the trolley 3 to the rear side Y2, the trolley 3 is arranged at the storage position. In this way, the guide member 45 guides the advancing/retracting member 42 to the advanced position as the trolley 3 is accommodated in the drying chamber 2B. When the user closes the door 9 after the trolley 3 is arranged at the storage position, the bedding drying device 1 can start the drying operation.

Conversely, when the user opens the door 9 and moves the trolley 3 to the front side Y1 in order to pull the trolley 3 out of the drying chamber 2B, the rollers 42C of the forward and backward members 42 approach the second guide of the guide member 45 . 42 C of rollers move inward while rotating along 45 C of 2nd guide surfaces (refer FIG. 10). Thereafter, when the roller 42C passes through the second guide surface 45C and reaches the first guide surface 45B, each advancing and retreating member 42 reaches the retracted position, and therefore each pressing member 31 is disposed at the release position (see FIG. 9 ). Moreover, the trolley 3 is arrange|positioned at the pulled-out position. In this way, the guide member 45 guides the advancing and retreating member 42 to the retracted position as the cart 3 is pulled out from the drying chamber 2B. The user can place the bedding P on the placement portion 22 of the trolley 3 arranged at the drawn position (see FIG. 3 ). It should be noted that, as a modified example of the first example, a cam-shaped moving member such as the advancing and retreating member 42 may be moved in the vertical direction Z under the guidance of the guide member 45 when the trolley 3 is pulled out and stored. As a result, the pressing member 31 moves to the pressing position or the releasing position.

Referring to FIG. 12 , in association with the linkage mechanism 40 of the second example, a rod 52 is fixed to the rear end portion of the rotation shaft 31D of each pressing member 31 . The rod 52 protrudes from the rear end portion of the rotation shaft 31D on the front side Y1 of the vertical plate portion 33A of the rear bracket 33 to the lower side Z2 and penetrates the base portion 21 of the trolley 3 , and is connected to the rear vertical portion 31B of the pressing member 31 extend in parallel. The lower end portion 52A of the rod 52 is formed in a spherical shape, and is exposed toward the lower surface portion side of the base portion 21 . The lower end portion 52A may be a rotatable roller. A pair of left and right insertion holes 21F through which the rods 52 are inserted one by one are formed at the rear end portion of the base portion 21 . Each insertion hole 21F is a long hole long in the left-right direction X so that the lever 52 can rotate together with the pressing member 31 . The rod 52 can also be regarded as a part of the pressing member 31 .

The interlocking mechanism 40 of the second example has an urging member 51 provided on the trolley 3 . The urging members 51 are provided as a pair of left and right corresponding to the pair of pressing members 31 . In association with the urging member 51 , a bearing 53 is fixed to the rear end portion of the rotation shaft 31D of each pressing member 31 . The support 53 protrudes upward Z1 from a portion between the vertical plate portion 33A of the rear bracket 33 and the rod 52 in the rear end portion of the rotation shaft 31D, and extends parallel to the rear vertical portion 31B of the pressing member 31 .

Referring to FIG. 13 , a pair of left and right support members 54 are provided at the lower end portion of the end wall portion 25 on the rear side Y2 side of the placement portion 22 of the trolley 3 . The urging member 51 is a coil spring extending in the left-right direction X, and connects the

supports

53 and 54 on the same side in the left-right direction X. As shown in FIG. Each urging member 51 pulls the support 53 inwardly in a compressed state, thereby always urging the corresponding pressing member 31 toward the surface portion 22C of the seating portion 22 . In this way, the pair of pressing members 31 are biased toward the pressing position by the respective corresponding biasing members 51 .

Referring to FIG. 14 , the linkage mechanism 40 of the second example further has a guide member 55 fixed to the bottom wall 5 of the device main body 2 . The guide member 55 has a rail shape long in the front-rear direction Y, and is provided as a pair of left and right pairs corresponding to the pair of pressing members 31 . The guide members 55 may be arranged one by one in the pair of left and right guide grooves 26 of the bottom wall 5 (see FIG. 15 ).

In the guide member 45 on the left side X1, the right surface portion is the inner surface portion 55A, and in the guide member 45 on the right side X2, the left surface portion is the inner surface portion 55A. The inner surface portion 55A of each guide member 55 has a first guide surface 55B extending flatly in the front-rear direction Y as a front end portion of the inner surface portion 55A, and a second guide surface 55C rearward from the rear end of the first guide surface 55B. The side Y2 extends obliquely on the outer side; and the third guide surface 55D extends flatly from the rear end of the second guide surface 55C in the front-rear direction Y toward the rear side Y2 .

As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 , when the trolley 3 is in the pull-out position, the first guide surface 55B of each guide member 55 is positioned to press the rod 52 of the pressing member 31 on the same side in the left-right direction X from the outside. The state of the lower end portion 52A, therefore, each pressing member 31 is in the release position (also refer to FIG. 16 ). When the user moves the cart 3 to the rear side Y2 from this state in order to store the cart 3 in the drying chamber 2B, the lower end portion 52A of the rod 52 moves to the rear side Y2 along the inner surface portion 55A of the guide member 55 . move.

Then, when the lower end portion 52A of the rod 52 approaches the second guide surface 55C of the inner surface portion 55A, the lower end portion 52A moves outward and the pair of pressing members 31 start to close. Thereafter, when the lower end portion 52A reaches the third guide surface 55D through the second guide surface 55C toward the rear side Y2 as shown in FIG. 17 , each pressing member 31 is arranged at the pressing position (also refer to FIG. 18 ). At this time, the trolley 3 is arranged at the storage position. In this way, the guide member 55 guides the pressing member 31 to the pressing position as the cart 3 is accommodated in the drying chamber 2B. When the user closes the door 9 after the trolley 3 is arranged at the storage position, the bedding drying device 1 can start the drying operation.

Conversely, when the user opens the door 9 and moves the trolley 3 to the front side Y1 in order to pull the trolley 3 out of the drying chamber 2B, the lower end 52A of the rod 52 of each pressing member 31 approaches the guide member 55. When opening the second guide surface 55C, the lower end portion 52A moves inwardly along the second guide surface 55C, and the pair of pressing members 31 start to expand. Thereafter, when the lower end portion 52A passes through the second guide surface 55C and reaches the first guide surface 55B, each pressing member 31 is arranged at the release position (see FIGS. 14 to 16 ). In addition, the trolley 3 is arranged at the drawn position. In this way, the guide member 55 guides the pressing member 31 to the release position as the cart 3 is pulled out from the drying chamber 2B. The user can place the bedding P on the placement portion 22 of the trolley 3 arranged at the drawn position.

Referring to FIG. 19 , in connection with the linkage mechanism 40 of the third example, a rod 61 is fixed to the rear end portion of the rotation shaft 31D of each pressing member 31 . The rod 61 , as a part of the pressing member 31 , protrudes from the rotation shaft 31D to the lower side Z2 , penetrates the base portion 21 of the cart 3 , and extends parallel to the rear vertical portion 31B of the pressing member 31 . The lower end portion 61A of the rod 61 is exposed to the lower surface portion side of the base portion 21 . A pair of left and right insertion holes 21G through which the rods 61 are inserted one by one are formed at the rear end portion of the base portion 21 . Each insertion hole 21G is a long hole long in the left-right direction X so that the lever 61 can rotate together with the pressing member 31 .

The interlocking mechanism 40 of the third example has: an urging member (not shown) provided on the trolley 3 ; Between; a pair of left and right guide rollers 63 provided on the lower surface of the base 21 ; and an engagement member 64 fixed to the device main body 2 . The urging member may be arranged to urge the pair of pressing members 31 to the pressing position in the same manner as the urging member 41 (see FIG. 6 ) and urging member 51 (see FIG. 13 ) described above.

When the trolley 3 is in the storage position as shown in FIG. 19 , the wire 62 is in a state extending linearly in the left-right direction X, and the pair of pressing members 31 are closed to be in the pressing position. The pair of guide rollers 63 has a flat cylindrical shape in the vertical direction Z, and is in a state of being in contact with the wire 62 from the rear side Y2 in FIG. 19 . It is also possible that each guide roller 63 is rotatable about a longitudinal axis passing through its centre. The engaging member 64 has a flat cylindrical shape in the vertical direction Z, is fixed to the front end portion of the upper surface of the bottom wall 5 of the device main body 2, and is exposed into the drying chamber 2B. The engaging member 64 may also be rotatable in the same manner as each guide roller 63 . The engaging member 64 is located between the pair of guide rollers 63 in the left-right direction X, but in FIG. 19 , the engaging member 64 is located on the front side Y1 of the wire 62 and the pair of guide rollers 63 .

When the user opens the door 9 and pulls the dolly 3 out from the storage position to the front side Y1 , the wire 62 and the pair of guide rollers 63 approach the engaging member 64 from the rear side Y2 . When the user further pulls out the dolly 3 , the engaging member 64 engages with the portion 62A between the pair of guide rollers 63 in the wire 62 from the front side Y1 . Then, when the trolley 3 is drawn out to the drawn position, as shown in FIG. 20 , the portion 62A is drawn into a V shape by the engagement member 64, and the pair of pressing members 31 are opened to the released position. In this way, the engaging member 64 pulls the wire 62 as the cart 3 is drawn out of the drying chamber 2B, thereby expanding the pair of pressing members 31 . The user can place the bedding P on the placement portion 22 of the trolley 3 arranged at the drawn position.

When the user pushes the pulled out trolley 3 toward the rear side Y2 toward the storage position, the wire 62 and the pair of guide rollers 63 tend to leave the engaging member 64 toward the rear side Y2, so that the engaging member 64 is aligned with the wire. The 62 has less traction. Then, when the trolley 3 is pushed into the storage position, the wire 62 is away from the engagement member 64, so the portion 62A between the pair of guide rollers 63 in the wire 62 returns to a straight line, and the pair of pressing members 31 are closed. to the pressed position (see Figure 19). In this way, the engaging member 64 closes the pair of pressing members 31 by releasing the pulling of the wire 62 as the cart 3 is accommodated in the drying chamber 2B. When the user closes the door 9 after the trolley 3 is arranged at the storage position, the bedding drying device 1 can start the drying operation.

As described above, in any one of the first to third examples, the linkage mechanism 40 moves the pressing member 31 to the release position in conjunction with the pull-out of the trolley 3 from the drying chamber 2B, and moves to the drying position with the trolley 3. The pressing member 31 moves to the pressing position in conjunction with the storage of the dry chamber 2B. Therefore, as long as the user puts the bedding P on the setting portion 22 and stores the trolley 3 in the drying chamber 2B, the pressing member 31 automatically moves to the pressing position to suppress the bedding P from being suspended. Furthermore, since the pressing member 31 is automatically moved to the release position when the user pulls out the trolley 3 from the drying chamber 2B, the user can easily remove the bedding P from the placement portion 22 without any additional effort. As a result of the above, the improvement of usability can be aimed at in the structure which restrains the bedding P from floating.

In addition, the pair of pressing members 31 are closed as they move toward the pressing position, thereby pinching the bedding P on the setting part 22 and pressing it against the surface part 22C of the setting part 22 . The pair of pressing members 31 are opened as they move toward the release position, thereby separating from the bedding P on the seating portion 22 to release the pressing. The urging

members

41 and 51 provided on the trolley 3 urge the pair of pressing members 31 to the pressing position, so these pressing members 31 can reliably press the bedding P on the setting part 22 against the surface of the setting part 22. Section 22C.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various changes can be made within the scope described in the claims.

For example, in the trolley 3, if each pressing member 31 is arrange|positioned so that each pressing member 31 may press the bedding P to the placement part 22 by its own weight, the urging member 41 and the urging member 51 may be abbreviate|omitted.

In addition, in this embodiment, the external air taken in from the air intake passage 12 flows into the interior space 22B of the placement part 22 of the trolley 3 through the bedding P in the drying chamber 2B, and is exhausted from the exhaust passage 13 to the outside of the machine ( Refer to Figure 1). Instead, it is also possible to make the function of the air suction path 12 and the exhaust path 13 reverse, and the external air is taken in from the exhaust path 13 and reaches the interior space 22B, and then flows out to the drying chamber 2B through the bedding P, and flows out from the air suction path 12. Drain out of machine. In addition, warm air may be circulated in the bedding drying device 1 .

In addition, the pressing member 31 may be a heat generating body with a built-in heater or the like. In this case, it is possible to effectively dry the portion of the bedding P near the pressing member 31 . Thereby, the drying efficiency of the bedding P can be improved.

The trolley 3 may include a plurality of placement parts 22 , and in this case, these placement parts 22 may be arranged in a row along the left-right direction X. As shown in FIG. A pair of pressing members 31 are provided in each placement portion 22 , and are opened or closed by, for example, the linkage mechanism 40 ( FIG. 19 and FIG. 20 ) of the third example. It should be noted that instead of a pair of pressing members 31 , that is, two pressing members 31 may be provided in one seating portion 22 , but only one pressing member 31 may be provided.

In each pressing member 31, the front vertical portion 31A, the rear vertical portion 31B, and the horizontal portion 31C (refer to FIGS. 1 and 2 ) actually press the bedding P on the seating portion 22 against the seating portion when the pressing member 31 is in the pressing position. 22 to press the main body portion 31E of the surface portion 22C. As a modified example, each pressing member 31 may further include a guide portion 31F arranged on the upper side Z1 of the pressing main body portion 31E as shown in FIGS. 21 and 22 .

The guide part 31F is constituted by, for example, a pipe bent into an inverted U-shape in a side view, and is slightly smaller than the pressing main body part 31E. The guide portion 31F integrally has: a front vertical portion 31G and a rear vertical portion 31H aligned in the front-rear direction Y and extending in the vertical direction Z; and a horizontal portion 31I bridged between upper ends of the front vertical portion 31G and the rear vertical portion 31H. and extend along the front-back direction Y. The lower end portion of the front vertical portion 31G is connected to a portion of the horizontal portion 31C slightly on the rear side Y2 than the front end portion. The lower end portion of the rear vertical portion 31H is connected to a portion of the horizontal portion 31C that is closer to the front side Y1 than the rear end portion. The front vertical portion 31G and the rear vertical portion 31H are inclined so as to be away from the surface portion 22C of the seating portion 22 outward toward the upper side Z1 and extend parallel to each other. Therefore, the guide portion 31F as a whole also extends so as to be away from the surface portion 22C of the seating portion 22 as it goes toward the upper side Z1 . The guide portions 31F of the pair of pressing members 31 are symmetrically arranged in a V-shape when viewed from the front-back direction Y (see FIG. 22 ). In each pressing member 31 , the guide portion 31F is arranged so as not to be parallel to the pressing main body portion 31E but to be bent outward than the pressing main body portion 31E.

When the pressing member 31 is at the release position as shown in FIGS. 21 and 22 , the guide portion 31F guides the bedding P (refer to FIG. 22 ), especially the bedding P placed in the middle of the placement portion 22 of the trolley 3 in the drawn position. The lower end portion P1 of the lower end portion P1 is guided between the pressing main body portion 31E and the surface portion 22C of the seating portion 22 . The guide portion 31F prevents the bedding P from protruding from between the pressing main body portion 31E and the surface portion 22C to be pressed against the pressing member 31 from the outside during placement, and the bedding P is easily placed. When the user who has finished placing the bedding P pushes the trolley 3 to the storage position, as described above, each pressing member 31 moves to the pressing position through the linkage mechanism 40 (see FIGS. 23 and 24 ).

With regard to the pressing member 31 and the linkage mechanism 40, the various features described above can be appropriately combined.
