Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a clothes dryer that dries clothes by introducing hot air into a rotating drum.

In conventional clothes dryers of this type, the hot air generated by the heating of a heating element such as a nichrome wire heater tends to concentrate on the surface (upper surface) of the clothes in the rotating drum, especially immediately after starting drying. Clothes contain a large amount of moisture, and the weight of the moisture causes the clothes to overlap, creating gaps between the clothes that are large enough to allow hot air to pass through, and this tendency is strong. Furthermore, since the clothes in the rotating drum are held up by baffles and then dropped onto the inner wall of the rotating drum made of a material such as a hard iron plate, there is a problem in that they tend to wrinkle.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems. By arranging a net along the inner wall of the rotating drum and at a distance from the inner wall, hot air is efficiently applied to the entire clothing, improving drying performance. , it also suppresses the appearance of wrinkles.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the figure, 1 is the main body of the clothes dryer, 2 is a rotary drum rotatably installed inside the main body, 3 is a fan case installed behind the rotary drum 2, and a fan 4 is rotatably installed inside. ing. Reference numeral 5 denotes a drive motor, and a drum pulley 6 and a fan pulley 7 are provided at both ends of the rotating shaft of the drive motor 6, and the power of the drum boo υ-6 is transmitted to the rotating drum 2 via the belt 8; The power of the fan pulley 7 is transmitted to the fan 4 via the fan belt 9.

Reference numeral 1o designates a plurality of baffles provided on the inner wall side of the rotary drum 2 during rotation of the rotary drum 2. The baffles are elongated in the axial direction and spaced at appropriate intervals in the circumferential direction, and are used to transfer and rotate the clothes in the rotary drum 2. It is.

11 is a net, as shown in Figures 2 and 3,
It is provided along the inner wall of the rotating drum 2 and spaced apart from the inner wall, and is fixed to the baffle 10 by tightening screws or the like. Reference numeral 12 denotes a small hole provided in the wall plate 13 on the front side of the rotating drum 2, and the hot air from the air hole 15 provided in the drum support plate 14 that rotatably supports the rotating drum 2 is directed between the net 11 and the rotating drum 2. It is taken into the space 16 between the inner wall and the inner wall.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a hot air supply hole provided in the drum support plate 14. Most of the hot air generated by the heating element 18 enters the rotating drum 2 through the hot air supply hole 17, and the clothes rolling on the net 11 are rotated. Mainly dry the surface area near the central axis.

In the above configuration, the hot air d from the hot air supply hole 17 mainly dries the surface of the clothes near the center of rotation of the rotating drum 2; Space 16 through small hole 12
The hot air that has entered passes through the net 11 and acts on the so-called back side of the clothes, and because the clothes roll, it is forced to pass through the gaps between the clothes, and the back side of the rotating drum 2. More exhaust. Therefore, the hot air acts on the clothes without any direction, so that the entire clothes can be dried almost evenly. Moreover, the net 11 is made of a heat-resistant porous material, such as a full net, a porous resin plate, a woven fabric, etc., and has a cushioning property, and is held by the baffle 1o by 20 rotations of the rotating drum. When kicked clothes fall onto the net 11, the throat 11 acts as a buffer and stops the clothes, thereby preventing wrinkles from forming on the clothes as in the prior art.

FIG. 4 shows a plurality of heat sinks provided on the drum support plate
1'''') ') 'ylEiJK)'5" persimmon 8I
A small hole 19 as shown in FIG. A second guide plate 21 leads to the space 16.

According to configuration E, the small hole 19 is the same as the small hole 12 shown in FIG.
Rather than rotating the rotating drum 1 and 4 times as it rotates 20 times, as shown in the figure, the hot air can enter the rotating drum 2 smoothly.

Moreover, this hot air that entered is the first. It is guided by the second guide plate 20.21, is guided reliably into the space 16, and acts efficiently on the back side of the garment, similar to the embodiment described above.

As described above, according to the present invention, the net is arranged along the inner wall of the rotating drum and with a space formed between the inner wall and the hot air acts on the clothes from the rotation center side of the rotating drum. In addition, since the hot air passes through the space and the net and acts on the clothes, the hot air acts on the clothes without any direction, even when drying has just begun.
Hot air forcibly enters the gaps between clothes that contain moisture,
Clothes can be dried uniformly in a short time. Furthermore, the cushioning properties of the net can prevent wrinkles caused by rolling and falling clothing.
