Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a clothes dryer, and in particular, it does not use energy such as electricity or gas for drying, and moreover, it can be used to dry clothes such as women's underwear that are not exposed to the public eye. The present invention relates to a simple dryer suitable for sanitary drying.

[Conventional technology]

BACKGROUND ART Traditionally, women's underwear, especially women's underwear, have been washed and dried in the sun so as not to be exposed to the public eye. However, in recent years, urbanization has rapidly progressed in Tokyo and other regional cities, and housing conditions have changed rapidly in and around the cities, making it difficult to dry underwear in the sun without exposing it to others. It's summery. For this reason, in recent years it has become common practice to dry underwear indoors (inside a room) so that it is out of sight, or to install a large home-use clothes dryer that uses electricity or gas as a heat source. It is. However, even if the underwear has been stored for several days, the amount is too small to be dried using a large household clothes dryer that uses electricity or gas as a heat source, making it unsuitable for drying in a dryer. There are many cases where there is no. This is especially noticeable in cases such as single people living alone.

In households such as single people living alone, the amount of clothes that can be dried using a large household clothes dryer is too small, and there is no need to install a large household clothes dryer. In case,
Conventionally, a dryer exclusively for underwear as shown in FIG. 8 has been devised. That is, the underwear dryer 100 has a cylindrical main body 110 made of resin. The main body 110 has a blower 120 at its lower end, and above the blower 120 is a heater 130.
is provided. A guard 140 for protecting underwear is provided above the heater 130 to prevent underwear from coming into contact with the heater 130. The upper space of this guard 140 constitutes a drying space 150 into which underwear is put. A lid 160 is provided above the drying space 150.

In the underwear dryer 100 configured as described above, underwear is placed on the guard 140, then the heater 130 is energized, and the blower 120 blows warm air from below the heater 130 to dry the underwear. It's dry.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, with such conventional underwear dryers, warm air is sent from below to dry the underwear while the underwear is folded and stacked, so the drying speed varies depending on how the underwear is stacked and folded, resulting in uneven drying. The problem is that dry conditions cannot be obtained.

Further, in the case of conventional underwear dryers, since the blower continues to rotate during drying, there is a problem in that they are noisy and the places where they can be used are limited.

Furthermore, conventional underwear dryers have a problem in that the drying speed varies greatly depending on the material of the dryer, and sufficient drying cannot be achieved by controlling with a timer.

Furthermore, conventional underwear dryers use electric heaters to dry underwear, which does not allow direct exposure to sunlight, giving rise to an unsanitary feeling.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a simple dryer that is suitable for drying women's underwear hygienically without using energy such as electricity or gas, and without exposing it to public view. be.

[Means for solving problems]

This invention applies to the surface of high chromium content stainless steel.
By generating an oxide layer of 500 Å to 2000 Å, it is formed by a selective absorption surface that exhibits high energy absorption in the wavelength band of 0.3 μm to 2.5 μm.
A case for storing breathable clothing that has a case equipped with an opening/closing part for taking contents in and out and an exhaust port, and is supported by a rotating shaft provided inside the case, and rotates by the rotation of the rotating shaft. It consists of a container and a drive device that rotates the rotating shaft within the housing.

[Effect]

Washed underwear is placed in a breathable clothing storage container, and an opening/closing part for taking in and taking out the contents is opened and closed, and the container is supported by a rotating shaft inside the case. After that, place the casing in a place exposed to sunlight. When sunlight hits the casing, the casing absorbs solar heat, takes this solar heat into the casing, and raises the temperature inside.

On the other hand, the rotating shaft is rotated by the drive device, and the rotation of the rotating shaft rotates the clothing storage container supported by the rotating shaft. By rotating this clothing storage container, the clothing stored in the clothing storage container is stirred, solar heat is uniformly applied to the clothing, and moisture in the clothing is uniformly evaporated. This evaporated water is
It is discharged to the outside from the exhaust port of the housing.

The drive device that rotates this rotating shaft can be driven regardless of the presence or absence of a commercial power source by using a solar cell.

In this way, the present invention does not use energy such as electricity or gas for drying, and can dry women's underwear hygienically by keeping them out of public view.
It is possible to dry the object uniformly and quickly regardless of the material of the object to be dried.
