Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a clothes dryer (hereinafter simply referred to as a dryer) for drying clothes.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, the above-mentioned dryer has been used to place clothes that have been washed in a washing machine into a rotating drum, and while the clothes rotate together with the drum, hot air is blown through holes made in the peripheral wall of the drum. There is a dryer that blows hot air into a drum and dries clothes placed in the drum using the fed hot air.

In this dryer, a plurality of fins are provided on the inner peripheral wall of the drum, and the fins evenly stir the clothes placed in the drum as the drum rotates.

Then, the hot air sent into the drum through the through holes in the peripheral wall of the drum is thoroughly sent to various parts of the clothes placed in the drum. Therefore, the clothes placed in the drum can be reliably, efficiently and quickly dried by the hot air sent into the drum without leaving any undried areas.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-mentioned dryer, while the drum is being rotated to dry the clothes placed in the drum, the fins on the inner peripheral wall of the drum violently agitate the clothes placed inside the drum. The fibers that make up the clothing became intertwined with each other. Then, while the clothes were being dried, the clothes placed in the drum shrunk.

The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and its purpose is to prevent the fibers forming the clothes from getting entangled with each other and shrinking while drying the clothes, and to prevent the clothes from shrinking. To provide a dryer that can reliably, quickly and efficiently dry clothes like a dryer.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to achieve the above object, the first dryer of the present invention has the following features:
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, there is a hook 1 for storing clothes in and out, and a hook 1 for storing clothes in and out.
a radiator 2 provided at the inner bottom; a hot water circulation device 3 for circulating hot water within the radiator 2;
Hot air supply device 4 that sends hot air into the hook 1 below the
Then, the hot air sent by the hot air supply device 4 is circulated through the radiator 2 and inside the box 1.
It is characterized by comprising an exhaust hole 6 equipped with an exhaust fan 5 for discharging the air from the inside to the outside.

The second dryer of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, includes a box 1 for storing clothes in and out of the box 1, and a radiator 2 provided at the inner bottom of the box 1. , a hot water circulation device 3 for circulating hot water in the radiator 2, and an air circulation fan 7 for circulating the air in the box 1 provided in the two-part box 1 through the radiator 2 and inside and outside the box 1. The air circulation path 8 is characterized by comprising an air circulation path 8 and a moisture removal device 9 provided in the air circulation path 8 for removing moisture from the air circulating in the air circulation path 8.

"Function" In the first dryer having the above configuration of the present invention, the box 1

Sends hot air into Nox 1. The hot air sent in is then circulated upwardly within the box 1 through the radiator 2.

Then, the hot air sent into the box 1 is heated by the radiator 2 and becomes high temperature. Then, the hot air that reaches a high temperature and circulates upward in the box 1 contacts the clothes IO stored in the box 1 and dries the clothes 10.

Further, the hot air circulated upwardly inside the box 1 by rotating the exhaust fan 5 provided in the exhaust hole 6 is transferred to the exhaust hole 6.
It passes through the inside of the box 1 and is discharged from the upper part of the box 1 to the outside.

Then, the hot air containing a large amount of moisture that has come into contact with the clothes 10 stored in the box 1 and dried the clothes 10 passes through the exhaust hole 6 and is discharged from the inner part of the box 1 to the outside.

Further, in the second dryer of the present invention having the above configuration, the clothes 10 to be dried are stored in the box 1. Then, using the hot water circulation device 3, hot water is circulated within the radiator 2 provided at the bottom of the box l. At the same time, the air circulation fan 7 is rotated to circulate the air in the box 1 around the radiator 2 through the air circulation path 8, both inside and outside the box 1.

Then, the air circulating inside and outside the box 1 through the air circulation path 8 is heated by the radiator 2 and becomes hot air. Then, the hot air circulating in the box 1 comes into contact with the clothes 10 stored in the box 1 and dries the clothes IO. When the air containing a large amount of moisture that dried the clothes 10 circulates in the air circulation path 8, the moisture inside is removed by the moisture removal device 9 provided in the air circulation path 8. dried.

Then, the dried air is sent into the box 1 through the air circulation path 8 again. Then, the air sent in is heated through the radiator 2 and comes into contact with the clothes IO stored in the box 1 again, repeatedly drying the clothes 10.
