Abstract

PURPOSE: To inhibit the presence of an ignition source near a quilt drying chamber and to eliminate the danger of a fire by arranging a hot water type heat exchange as a heat source and a fan using a fluid motor in a hot air circulation path. CONSTITUTION: On a bottom surface panel 13, in the hot air circulation path 3, the hot water type heat exchange 4 as the heat source, the fan 5 and the fluid motor 9 to be a motor for driving the fan 5 are incorporated. At the time of housing a quilt 1 inside the quilt drying chamber 2, driving an electric motor 18 and opening a solenoid valve 20, hot water is supplied to the hot water type heat exchange 4, fluid is sent to the fluid motor 18, the fan 5 is rotationally driven and hot air is generated. The hot air is blown off from the hot air circulation path 3 through an upper blow-off port 6 and a lower blow-off port 7 into the quilt drying chamber 2, made to pass through the quilt 1, then returned from an intake port 8 to the hot air circulation path 3, heated again and circulated. The ignition source to be the origin of a fire is not present near the quilt drying chamber and the danger of a fire is completely eliminated. Since the hot water is used for the heat source and the fluid at a normal temperature is used for the motor, even when waste cotton and dust, or the like, are stuck and the long period of time elapses, the danger of carbonization and low temperature ignition is eliminated as well.
