Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a vertical iron storage case for storing an electric iron in an upright position.

[Technical background of the invention] A conventional vertical iron storage case is illustrated in FIG. In the figure, a is the case body, b is the hinge, c is the case lid, d is the heat shield, e is the iron stand, and f is the ventilation hole. Both the case body a and the case lid c are made of synthetic resin. be. In this storage case, an electric iron (not shown)
is placed in an upright position on the upper surface of the iron stand e, and in this state is housed with the iron base and side portions surrounded by a heat shield d.

[Problems with the Background Art] In the conventional case described above, the hot air generated by the residual heat of the electric iron housed in the case body a is
It is blocked by the heat shield d, rises along the inner surface of the heat shield d, and is emitted from the upper part of the mating surface of the case body a and the case lid c. For this reason, conventionally, hot air tends to accumulate in the upper part of the case, resulting in a significant temperature rise in the upper part of the case. Therefore,
The case body a and case lid c are made of synthetic resin.
It is necessary to select and mold a synthetic resin material with heat resistance in mind, which is a major factor in increasing costs.

[Object of the invention] An object of the invention is to provide a vertical iron storage case that can quickly cool an electric iron in a stored state and that can be obtained at a low cost.

[Summary of the invention] That is, the invention forms a ventilation section at the rear of the heat shield located inside the case body, and provides the case body with an intake hole located below the heat shield at the rear of the case body. Additionally, by providing an exhaust hole at the rear of the ceiling wall, the iron base can be actively air cooled, and the case body and case lid can be molded from a synthetic resin material with low heat resistance.

[Embodiment of the invention] An embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

In the figure, 1 is a synthetic resin case body with an opening on one side, and inside this is a free-standing electric iron A.
is arranged so that it can be freely put in and taken out through the opening. In addition, the code|symbol B shows an iron base. An iron stand 2 on which an electric iron A is placed in a free-standing state is attached to the inner bottom of the case body 1. Further, a heat shield 3 is housed within the case body 1 and is fixed to the rear wall of the case body 1 with fixing members 4 such as screws. This heat shield 3 is, for example, a molded product of heat-resistant synthetic resin,
As illustrated in FIG. 4, it is formed of a side plate 3a that is approximately inverted U-shaped when viewed from the front, and a rear plate 3b that is approximately vertical and has a closed rear surface. A ventilation section 5 facing the iron base B is formed at the rear part of the heat shield 3, for example, on the rear plate 3b. In addition, air intake holes 6 and 7 located below the heat shield 3 are provided at the rear of the case body 1. In addition, in this example, case body 1
This is a case where a plurality of intake holes 6 are provided in the lower part of the rear wall and a plurality of intake holes 7 are provided in the rear part of the bottom wall of the case body 1, but in the present invention, either one may be omitted, and in that case, the intake holes 7 It is preferable to leave the . Furthermore, a plurality of exhaust holes 8 are provided at the rear of the case body 1 at the rear of the ceiling wall thereof. Moreover,
In the case of this embodiment, in order to further increase the cooling effect of the iron base B, a plurality of auxiliary ventilation holes 9 are also provided at the rear portions of both left and right walls of the case body 1, but these are omitted. Good too. Further, a case lid 10 made of synthetic resin is pivotally attached to one side edge of the opening of the case body 1 via a hinge 11. The case lid 10 has a clamp 12, and this clamp 12 can be freely hooked onto and removed from a clamp receiver 13 provided on the other side edge of the opening of the case body 1, and the case lid 10 is maintained in a closed state by engaging the clamp receiver 13. It's becoming like that. In addition, 1 in Figures 2 and 3
4 is a handle for carrying.

The vertical iron storage case having the above structure can store an electric iron A as shown in FIG. In this storage state, iron base B of electric iron A
is directly opposed to the rear plate 3b of the heat shield 3, but even if the base B is still at a high temperature, residual heat radiated from this will not stay in the upper part of the case for a long time. In other words, part of the heat emitted from the iron base B toward the rear plate 3b of the heat shield 3 is blocked by the rear plate 3b and heats the rear plate 3b, but the rest is emitted through the ventilation section 5. The rear wall of the case body 1 is heated. Therefore, a flow of hot air rises along the inner surface of the rear wall of the case body 1 and the rear plate 3b of the heat shield plate 3, respectively. On the other hand, the hot air directly generated by the iron base B rises along the inner surface of the iron base B and the rear plate 3b. Therefore, these air currents draw outside air into the case through the intake holes 6 and 7, and this outside air is drawn into the rear plate 3.
However, since the rear plate 3b is provided with a ventilation section 5, a part of the hot air along the inner surface of the rear panel 3b passes through the ventilation section 5 and reaches the rear panel 3b.
is merged with the airflow on the outside surface of the In this way,
Most of the hot air rises along the outer surface of the rear plate 3b and is directly discharged out of the case from the exhaust hole 8 that is substantially directly opposite the upper rear edge of the heat shield 3.
Note that some of the hot air flowing out from the front end surface side of the heat shield 3 bypasses the side wall of the heat shield 3 and is discharged from the exhaust hole 8, and is also discharged from the case body 1 and the case lid 10.
It is discharged from the mating surface. That is, as described above, the residual heat of the iron base B can be intensively discharged from the rear side of the case body 1, so that hot air does not stay in the upper part of the case for a long time, and the iron base B can be brought to room temperature in a short time. Temperature can be lowered.

Although the above-mentioned embodiment is constructed as described above, the heat shield 3 used in the present invention has a construction in which ventilation portions 5 are provided at each of the upper and lower parts of the rear plate 3b, as shown in FIG. You may use something. Further, as long as the ventilation portion 5 is at the rear of the heat shield 3, it may be provided on both sides of the rear end of the side plate 3a, and
b and the side plate 3a. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the ventilation portion 5 may be formed by a cut groove instead of a hole, or may be formed by a plurality of discontinuous holes. In the embodiment described above, the rear plate 3b of the heat shield 3 is provided diagonally to improve the hot air passage performance of the ventilation section 5, but the rear plate 3b may be completely vertical. Furthermore, an inwardly protruding guide for guiding hot air to the outer surface side of the rear part of the heat shield 3 may be provided at the upper edge of the ventilation section. In addition, when implementing the present invention, unless it is contrary to the gist of the invention, specific structures such as the case body, case lid, heat shield, ventilation parts, intake holes, exhaust holes, etc.
Of course, the shape, position, etc. are not limited to the one embodiment described above, and can be configured and implemented in various ways.

[Effect of the invention] The gist of the invention described above is the structure described in the claims of the above-mentioned utility model registration. Therefore, an exhaust hole is provided at the rear of the ceiling wall of the case body, and an intake hole is provided below the heat shield at the rear of the case body, so that the hot air rising along the rear outer surface of the heat shield is directly removed from the case. It can be discharged to Since the ventilation portion is provided at the rear of the heat shield, the hot air rising along the rear inner surface of the heat shield can be passed through to the outer surface and discharged out of the case from the exhaust hole. That is, for these reasons, according to the present invention, the residual heat of the iron base stored in the rear side of the case body can be intensively and quickly discharged out of the case from the rear side of the case body. Therefore, the air-cooling effect of the electric iron is high, and it is possible to prevent hot air from staying in the upper part of the case for a long time and causing the temperature in the upper part of the case to rise significantly. For this reason, the case body and case lid can be molded using synthetic resin materials with low heat resistance, and the materials used for the intake and exhaust holes as well as the ventilation section (if the heat shield is molded from resin) are reduced. Because it can be done, it has the advantage of being able to be manufactured at low cost.
