DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dryer for drying an object to be dried housed in a dryer body by using hot air.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a dryer is configured to dry an object to be dried housed in a dryer body by using hot air. In order to form a predetermined air flow, a metal back cover having an intake port and an exhaust port is attached to the back surface of the dryer at a predetermined interval from the back surface.

[0003] However, since the above-mentioned back cover merely forms an intake port and an exhaust port by making a hole in the cover, when installing a dryer, it is necessary to distribute the air generated during drying. In order to improve the performance, the rear cover must be installed at an interval from a wall or the like, and as a result, the installation space is increased. In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a dryer that can be installed in such a manner that the dryer is fitted to a wall or the like, and that can maintain good circulation of air generated during drying even in this state.

[0004]

A dryer according to the present invention comprises:
In the dryer for drying objects to be dried housed in the interior dry燥機body, the dryer body has a resin of the back cover,
An exhaust port is formed in the back cover to exhaust hot air generated during drying to the outside.
Vertically cuts through the exhaust port and projects a predetermined height from the surface of the back cover
And a plurality of ribs extending in the vertical direction are integrally formed.
Inside the rib that goes through the exhaust port,
Air that extends into the exhaust port at an inclined angle and is exhausted from the exhaust port
The guide piece that guides the
It is characterized by having been done .

[0005]

According to the above arrangement, when installing a dryer,
The ribs formed on the back cover can be installed in close contact with a wall or the like. Moreover, the ribs are vertical and
Hot air from the air is easily exhausted to the outside. Sa
In addition, a guide piece is provided inside the rib,
The air exhausted from the exhaust port by the piece
As it is guided to flow, exhaust is performed smoothly
It is.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, taking a dishwasher as an example. FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a dishwasher according to an embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the back side, FIG.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a portion A in FIG. 2.

The dishwasher described above is for washing, rinsing, and drying dishes stored in the apparatus, and the configuration for drying dishes using hot air is the same as that of a conventionally known dishwasher. In FIG. 1, 1 is an outer tub, 2 is a door, and 3 is a back cover. The outer tub 1 is formed in a frame shape, and the outer tub 1 is provided with a cavity 4 for accommodating tableware as shown in FIG.

[0008] The cavity 4 is formed in a box shape having an opening for accommodating tableware on the front surface.
Inside, a nozzle (not shown) for injecting washing water toward the tableware in the cavity 4 is provided. A pump (not shown) for supplying cleaning water to the nozzle is mounted on the outer bottom surface of the cavity 4.
A heater 5 for heating the cleaning water is provided, and a water supply valve (not shown) for supplying the cleaning water into the cavity 4 is provided on the back side of the cavity 4.

As shown in FIG. 1, the door 2 is attached to the front of the cavity 4 so as to open and close so as to close the opening of the cavity 4. The back cover 3 is made of resin and formed in a substantially U-shape in cross section. And the back cover 3
As shown in FIG. 2, it is attached to the outer tub 1 at a predetermined distance from the back surface of the cavity 4. Between the back cover 3 and the cavity 4, there are provided a circulating air passage 9 and a cooling air passage 10 partitioned by a double-sided fan 8 driven to rotate by a blower motor 7. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, an exhaust port 11 for exhausting hot air out of the machine is provided at an upper portion of the back cover 3.
An intake port 12 for sucking outside air into the machine is formed. Furthermore, on almost the entire surface of the back cover 3,
A plurality of ribs 13 are formed integrally with the back bar 3 so as to protrude from the back bar 3 by a predetermined height in such a manner as to cut through the exhaust port 11 and the intake port 12 vertically.

As shown in FIG. 2, the rib 13 is formed in a substantially U-shape in a side view. As shown in FIG. 3, a guide piece 13 a for efficiently guiding the air exhausted from the exhaust port 11 upward is provided on the side wall of the rib 13 located on the exhaust port 11. It is integrally formed so as to protrude toward the exhaust port 11 with a predetermined inclination angle. Although not shown, also the side walls of the rib 13 located in the intake port 12 on the same manner, the guide piece for guiding the outside air efficiently inlet 12, with a predetermined inclination angle with respect to the ribs 13 intake It protrudes toward the mouth 12 and is integrally formed.

In the above configuration, since the plurality of ribs 13 are formed integrally with the rear cover 3 by projecting a predetermined height from the rear cover 3 in such a manner as to cross the exhaust port 11 and the intake port 12, the dishwashing and drying are performed. When the machine is installed, the rib 13 can be installed so as to be fitted to the wall W as shown in FIG. Therefore, unlike the conventional case, the installation space does not need to be large. Moreover, even in the state where the dishwasher is installed in this manner, a gap is formed between the exhaust port 11 and the intake port 12 and the wall W by the height of the rib 13, so that the flow of air generated during drying can be reduced. Can be kept good.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the side walls of the ribs 13 positioned on the exhaust port 11, by integrally forming the guide piece 13a for guiding the air discharged from the exhaust port 11 upward In addition, the air is easily exhausted upward along the wall W, so that the exhaust efficiency is improved and the wall W is not required to be humid. Similarly, ribs 1 which is located the air inlet 12 on
Similarly, by providing a guide piece for guiding the outside air to the intake port 12 on the side wall of the intake port 3, the intake efficiency is also improved.

Further, since the rear cover 3 is made of resin, vibrations and the like generated in the machine can be more absorbed than the conventional metal rear cover, and noise can be reduced.
Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment,
Of course, many modifications and variations may be made within the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, even if the plurality of ribs 13 are provided so that only the exhaust port 11 is provided in a longitudinal direction,
A similar effect is obtained .

Also, the present invention can be applied to a device in which air is sucked in front of a dishwasher and only an exhaust gas is exhausted in a rear side. In addition to the dishwasher, a laundry dryer for drying laundry, etc. The present invention can also be applied to a dryer that dries an object to be dried stored inside the dryer body using hot air.

[0015]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, when the dryer is installed, the rib protruding from the back of the dryer body can be installed in close contact with a wall or the like. As in the conventional case, the installation space does not need to be large. In addition, the rib is vertical,
Hot air is easily exhausted to the outside. In addition, multiple
Ribs also act as reinforcement for the resin back cover,
In addition, part of it goes through the exhaust port,
Also serve. In addition, inside the ribs,
Guide pieces are formed to guide the air
The air exhausted by the guide piece is
Guided to.
