Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a drum type clothes dryer provided with a drying basket for drying delicate clothes.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when drying delicate clothes such as wool products, flat drying is performed in the shade and a large area is required, and it takes more than one day in the winter to dry. . In recent years, drum type clothes dryers have become popular,
When drying a wool product or the like with a clothes dryer, the drying time is shortened, but there is a problem that a large mechanical force acts on the clothes, and unwearable shrinkage, deformation, and damage occur. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, clothing 1 such as wool products 1
It is conceivable to place the above on a drying shelf 3 that is statically installed in the drum 2 to perform drying.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional method, since the clothes are folded and installed, the drying speed inside the clothes is slow, and the folds are wrinkled, and the clothes are rotated from the drying rack depending on the installation method. There is a problem that the clothes fall on the drum and the clothes are damaged so that they cannot be recovered.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a clothes dryer capable of drying delicate clothes such as wool products in a short time while minimizing shrinkage, wrinkles, and scratches.

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve this object, the clothes dryer of the present invention includes a drum rotatably provided in an outer frame, a fan for blowing drying air into the drum, and A heat source for heating the drying air, a clothes inlet provided on the front surface of the outer frame so as to open into the drum, a cylindrical dry basket detachably provided in the drum, and an outer periphery of the dry basket. And a cover made of a breathable material for holding an object to be dried between the dry basket and the dry basket. One end of the dry basket is a clothing inlet port and the other end is against the drum. It is relatively rotatable,
In addition, they are airtightly supported, and ventilation holes are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the dry basket and the end surface on the drum side.

Action With this configuration, clothes set in a dry basket can be statically dried without rotating, so that it receives no mechanical force, and thus can be dried without shrinkage, deformation, wrinkles, or damage. it can. Furthermore, the ventilation port provided in the dry basket allows the high-temperature drying air to flow only through the clothes set in the dry basket, resulting in extremely high drying efficiency and enabling short-time drying.

Embodiment One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 4 is an outer frame of the clothes dryer, 5 is a drum rotatably provided in the outer frame 1, 6 is a clothes inlet for putting clothes into the drum 4, and 7 is a dryer. A fan for blowing the working air, 8 is a motor for driving the fan 7 via a fan belt 9, and the motor 8 drives the drum 4 via a drum belt 10. Reference numeral 11 is a lint recovery filter, 12 is a filter cover for covering the filter 11, 13 is a heater for heating drying air, 14 is an inlet for drying air, and 15 is an exhaust port. 16 is a cylindrical dry basket detachably installed in the drum.
A ventilation port 19 is provided in the end surface 18 on the drum side. In addition, one end 20 of the dry basket 16 is supported by the clothing inlet 6, the other end 21 of the dry basket 16 is rotatably supported at the center of the filter cover 12, and the outer peripheral portion 22 thereof is flexible such as felt. The sealing material 23 having the property is airtightly slid against the drum 5. 24 is a delicate clothing such as a wool product wrapped around the outer circumference of the dry basket 16. A detachable cover 26 having a ventilation hole 25 is provided on the outer circumference thereof to prevent the clothing 24 from falling onto the rotating drum 4. However, damage is prevented in advance. Arrow A represents the flow of drying air.

The operation of the clothes dryer configured as described above will be described below. When the power is turned on and the motor 8 is rotated, the fan 7 and the drum 4 are driven. By the rotation of the fan 7, the drying air is sucked from the outside of the machine through the intake port 14, and the heater 13
After being heated by the
After passing through 24, it passes through the vent 19 of the dry basket 16, passes through the filter 11, and is exhausted from the exhaust port 15.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the clothes 24 are wound around the stationary dry basket 16 regardless of the rotation of the drum 5 and are further covered.
Since it is held at 26, the clothes 24 can be dried without any mechanical force being applied thereto without shrinkage, deformation, or damage. Further, the drying air flows through the entire circumference of the clothes 24, the drying efficiency is extremely high, and the clothes can be uniformly dried in a short time. Further, since the clothes 24 are wound around the dry basket 16 and set, the clothes 24 can be dried with few creases.

In addition, although the exhaust type clothes dryer is described as an example in the present embodiment, in the dehumidification type clothes dryer which performs drying by circulating the drying air and dehumidifying with the heat exchanger,
A similar dry basket may be provided, and even in this case, the same effect can be obtained.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, the present invention is provided with a detachable cylindrical dry basket, one end of the dry basket is supported by the clothes inlet, and the other end is rotatably and airtightly installed with the drum. However, ventilation holes are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the dry basket and the end surface on the drum side, and the material to be dried is wrapped around the outer peripheral portion of the dry basket through a breathable cover to dry, thereby causing shrinkage, deformation, wrinkles, and damage. In addition to being able to perform the drying without causing the above, the drying efficiency is extremely high, and the drying can be performed in a short time.
