Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a drying device for mining work clothes. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, all major coal mines require miners to wear uniformly designed and made work clothes when going down the mine. After coming up from the mine, the work clothes are taken off and handed over to the staff for unified cleaning and drying for the next use.

[0003] Existing clothes dryers or tumble dryers typically have bottom air intake and top air exhaust, or one-sided air intake and the other-side air exhaust. Hot air blows upwards or from one side to the other onto the clothes hanging inside the cabinet to dry them. These dryers often use electric heating devices, which consume a lot of electricity. Furthermore, to avoid damaging the clothes during the drying process, the hot air temperature should not be too high. If the hot air velocity is too low, the drying process is slow; if the hot air velocity is too high, the hanging clothes are constantly being blown around and moved about, resulting in uneven clothes with many wrinkles after drying, requiring ironing to restore their smoothness.

[0004] Chinese utility model patent CN216947548U, published on July 12, 2022, discloses a combined household clothes drying device, including a cabinet, cabinet doors, a rotating hanging assembly, a hot air drying assembly, a heat-concentrating drying assembly, and a sterilization assembly. The cabinet has rotating doors on both sides of its opening, a rotating hanging assembly at the center of the cabinet's interior, hot air drying assemblies on the inner walls of both sides of the cabinet, and a heat-concentrating drying assembly on the inner wall of the cabinet's back panel. The device also includes a partition net and clips. Air outlets on the outer wall of its S-shaped pipe face to one side, blowing air onto the hung items from the side, and heating resistance wires as heating elements. However, it consumes a lot of electricity and dries clothes slowly. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is how to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art and provide a drying device for mining work clothes.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this mine work clothes drying device includes a cabinet 1, which has an openable and closable door 2, an air inlet 3 and an air outlet 4, and is equipped with a fan 5. A clothes hanger 6 is installed inside the cabinet 1. The device is characterized by having, from top to bottom, an air inlet chamber 7, a heating chamber 8, a clothes hanging chamber 9, and an exhaust chamber 10 inside the cabinet 1. The clothes hanger 6 is installed inside the clothes hanging chamber 9. A heat exchange coil 11 is installed in the heating chamber 8 above the clothes hanging chamber 9. Both ends of the heat exchange coil 11 extend out of the cabinet, with one end connected to a steam pipe or hot water pipe and the other end connected to a return water pipe. Alternatively, the return air pipes are connected. There are four air inlets 3, which are respectively set on the side wall of the air inlet chamber 7. There are four air outlets 4, which are respectively set on the side wall of the exhaust chamber 10. There are four fans 5, which are respectively set in one air inlet 3 or one air outlet 4. Driven by the fans 5, the outside air passes through the air inlet chamber 7 and enters the heating chamber 8. After being heated by the heat exchange coil in the heating chamber 8, it enters the clothes hanging chamber 9. After blowing the work clothes waiting to be dried on the hanging clothes hangers 6 from top to bottom, it enters the exhaust chamber 10 and is finally discharged through the air outlet 4.

[0007] Currently, each coal mine has a bathing center. After miners come up from the mine, they take off their work clothes and hand them over to the staff for washing and drying for the next use. After showering, the miners change into their own clothes and go home after work. The mine's work clothes drying device is located nearby in the bathing center. Its heat exchange coil 11 is connected to the existing steam or hot water pipes of the bathing center through a pipe with a valve 15.

[0008] This design uses steam or hot water to heat the air, eliminating the need for electric heating, thus saving energy and preventing overheating. Most importantly, during the drying process, four fans draw a large volume of air into the cabinet 1. This hot, dry air, heated by the heat exchange coils, consistently blows downwards onto the work clothes hanging on the hangers 6, maintaining a constant airflow direction. This quickly removes moisture from the clothes, preventing them from flipping or shifting. The bottom of the clothes may only tremble slightly, minimizing wrinkles, and the bottom edge does not need to be fixed during drying. After drying, the clothes remain largely flat without ironing, making it highly efficient, energy-saving, and easy to use.

[0009] As an optimization, the bottom plate 12 of the exhaust chamber 10 is higher on one side and lower on the other side, and a drain pipe 13 is provided on the side wall above the lower part of the bottom plate 12, and a drain valve 14 is provided on the drain pipe 13.

[0010] Before drying, all work clothes must be washed and spun dry. Under normal circumstances, the work clothes waiting to be dried on the hanging hanger 6 will not drip water. The drain pipe and drain valve are mainly used when the spun dryer malfunctions or when the inside of the mine work clothes drying device is cleaned.

[0011] This utility model of a mine workwear drying device has a large drying air volume, and the air direction is always from top to bottom, which makes it less prone to wrinkles. It is energy-saving and efficient, and is suitable for use in bath centers in major coal mines. Attached Figure Description
