Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate an uneven drying and the extension of the drying time and to improve the performance by rotating a hanger unit provided with a plurality of hangers during the drying operation. SOLUTION: The hanger unit 2 provided with a plurality of hangers for hanging clothes is attached to the upper part of an outer frame body 1 via a hanger motor rotating the hanger unit 2, thereby enabling the rotation during the drying operation. In operating a clothes drier, the hanger motor, a fan motor 4, and a heating element 9 are energized, the hanger motor and the fan motor 4 are rotated to rotate the hanger unit 2 and the fan 7, and the heating element 9 is heated to feed hot air to the outer frame body 1, so that the clothes hung and rotated from the hanger unit 2 are dried. The moisture evaporated from the clothes is exhausted from an upper exhaust port 12 to the outside of the outer frame body 1. When starting the operation, the hanger unit 2 hanging the clothes is rotated in the outer frame body so that hot air evenly blows against the clothes, thereby eliminating drying unevenness and shortening the drying time.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the structure of a clothes dryer, and more particularly to the structure of a hanger for suspending clothes, which can contribute to improving the performance of the clothes dryer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional clothes dryer, when hanging clothes on a hanger and drying the clothes, if the clothes are densely packed in the frame, the portion where the hot air does not easily flow is difficult to dry, resulting in uneven drying. There is a problem that extra operation is required to wake up or completely dry everything, which increases the drying time.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a clothes dryer having good performance by eliminating the unevenness of drying and the extension of drying time of this kind of conventional clothes dryer as described above. Is what you do.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a hanger unit equipped with a plurality of hangers is configured to rotate during a drying operation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the structure of a clothes dryer according to one embodiment of the present invention.

A hanger unit 2 equipped with a plurality of hangers for hanging clothes is mounted on an upper portion of the outer frame body 1 via a hanger motor 3 for rotating the hanger unit 2, and rotates during a drying operation. It is supposed to. A fan 7 rotated by a fan motor 4 via a motor pulley 5 and a fan belt 6 is disposed in a lower portion of the outer frame 1 so as to be surrounded by a casing 8. Further, a heating element 9 for supplying warm air is configured,
Hot air is supplied into the outer frame 1 through the duct 10. Further, a wire mesh 11 for protecting the fan 7 and the heating element 9 is provided right above. Further, an exhaust port 12 for exhausting air is formed at an upper portion of the outer frame 1. A door 13 is provided at the center of the front surface of the outer frame 1 so as to be freely opened and closed. An intake port 14 for the fan 7 to intake air is provided at a lower portion of the front surface of the outer frame 1, and is covered by an intake filter 15. An operation unit 16 for performing drying control is arranged on the upper part.

When the clothes dryer according to the embodiment of the present invention is operated, when the hanger motor 3, the fan motor 4 and the heating element 9 are energized, the hanger motor 3 and the fan motor 4 rotate. , The hanger unit 2 and the fan 7 are rotated, the heating element 9 generates heat, the warm air is supplied into the outer frame 1, and the clothes hanging from the hanger unit 2 and rotating are dried. The moisture evaporated from the clothes is exhausted to the outside of the outer frame 1 from the upper exhaust port 12.

The clothes dryer according to the present invention, as described above,
When the operation starts, the hanger unit 2 in which the clothes are hung rotates in the outer frame 1, so that the clothes can be evenly hit by the hot air, and the drying can be performed without drying unevenness and with a short drying time.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a clothes dryer having no drying unevenness and a short drying time.
