Description

dryer

[0001] The present invention relates to a dryer, and more particularly, to a dryer that can dry golf gloves, neck gloves, leather gloves, and other various types of gloves by applying hot air thereto, is manufactured to be portable and can be easily used in various places, and can selectively dry body parts, various types of sports equipment in use, etc., as needed, by using a blower function.

[0002] In general, gloves are used for various purposes such as protecting the hands, keeping them warm to block the wind, providing a good grip when holding objects, working, or for decoration. They are made of natural leather, cloth, yarn, cotton, etc., and are broadly classified into long gloves that cover all fingers and short gloves with exposed fingers.

[0003] Normally, breathable gloves can be washed in water, so they are reused after washing and drying. However, gloves made of leather (thermal gloves, golf gloves, mountaineering gloves) cannot be washed in water, so if left as is after wearing, the internal moisture creates an environment where mold can grow, and even if they dry naturally after a long time, the leather is contaminated with mold and spoils the appearance, and because of this, the gloves can no longer be worn or the shape of the gloves becomes deformed, so wearing such gloves in the future is not only unsanitary, but also has problems such as reduced functionality.

[0033] A dryer (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention can dry various types of gloves (100) such as golf gloves, neck gloves, leather gloves, etc., by applying hot air, and is manufactured to be portable so that it can be easily used in various places, and can selectively dry body parts and various types of sports equipment in use as needed.

[0034] To this end, a dryer (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include at least one of a plurality of receiving portions (10a to 10e), a connecting body portion (50), an installation body portion (20), a drying portion (30), a battery portion (70), a door (40), a control portion (60), a motor (110), a first button (120), a second button (130), and a control portion (80).

[0035] The receiving portions (10a to 10e) can be applied in multiple numbers so as to be received in the internal space of each of the finger receiving units (101) constituting the glove (100).

[0036] The drawing shows an example in which five receiving sections (10a to 10e) are applied.

[0037] The receiving portion (10a to 10e) performs a kind of skeletal function that supports the finger receiving units (101).

[0038] At this time, a total of five finger receiving units (101) are applied, and are worn on the user's thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, respectively. In addition, the finger receiving units (101) are formed to have different lengths corresponding to the lengths of the user's five fingers. Accordingly, the receiving portions (10a to 10e) are also formed to have different lengths corresponding to the lengths of the finger receiving units (101).

[0039] And, the receiving portions (10a to 10e) are arranged at a certain interval from each other so that these finger receiving units (101) can be placed in an open state, and the lower end thereof is connected to the connecting body portion (50) described later to receive heated air (hereinafter referred to as “hot air”) for drying.

[0040] The receiving portion (10a to 10e) has an open bottom surface connected to the connecting body portion (50) so that warm air can be supplied.

[0041] And, a supply passage (13) through which warm air is injected is formed inside the receiving section (10a to 10e).

[0042] In addition, at least one discharge means (14) is formed on each of the front and rear sides of the receiving portions (10a to 10e) to discharge the injected warm air toward the finger receiving unit (101).

[0043] The exhaust means (14) can be formed alone to exhaust warm air.

[0044] The exhaust means (14) are formed in multiple pieces spaced apart from each other at regular intervals so that warm air can be evenly sprayed to the entire area of ​​the finger receiving unit (101).

[0045] A rotating ring (11) is formed integrally on one side of each of the receiving portions (10a to 10e).

[0046] A connecting hole (11a) connected to a supply channel is formed in the rotating ring (11). An elongated inlet (111a) is formed at one end of the connecting hole (11a). The receiving portions (10a to 10e) are rotated left and right with respect to Fig. 1 to adjust the spacing between them. At this time, since the inlet (111a) is formed in a elongated shape, even if the receiving portions (10a to 10e) are rotated to adjust the spacing between them, the ends of the inlet (111a) and the connecting channel (51a) do not misalign.

[0047] That is, even if the receiving portion (10a to 10e) rotates, the connecting passage (51a) is necessarily connected to a certain area of ​​the inlet (111a), so that the warm air generated in the drying portion can pass through the connecting hole (11a) and be supplied to the supply passage and then discharged through the discharge means.

[0048] Additionally, a gear wheel (111) is formed on at least one of one side and the other side of the rotating ring (11) to adjust the gap between the receiving portions (10a to 10e) and to maintain the gap-adjusted receiving portions (10a to 10e) from moving.

[0049] The function of the gear wheel part (111) will be described in detail later when the connecting body part (50) is described.

[0050] Meanwhile, the connecting body part (50) includes at least one of the connecting units (51) applied in the same number as the receiving parts (10a to 10e) and the body part (52) in which the connecting units (51) are connected at regular intervals.

[0051] The connection unit (51) is applied in 5 units and is connected 1:1 with the receiving portions (10a to 10e).

[0052] For this purpose, the connecting unit (51) includes a rotation guide piece (511).

[0053] The rotation guide piece (511) is composed of a pair of two pieces and is connected to the connection unit (51) in a form where they are spaced apart from each other by a certain distance.

[0054] A receiving groove (511a) in which a rotating ring (11) is received is formed between the rotating guide pieces (511).

[0055] The rotating guide piece (511) is formed with a gap adjustment hole (511b) having a plurality of peaks and valleys that are interlocked in a manner that surrounds the gear teeth formed on the circumference of the gear wheel part (111).

[0056] The ridges and ridges are formed in a continuous, intersecting manner.

[0057] That is, the ridges are placed at a certain distance from each other, and the ridges are formed between each ridge.

[0058] The gears are each accommodated between the teeth of the gear wheel (111), and the teeth of the gear wheel (111) are each accommodated in the grooves.

[0059] By pulling or pushing the receiving portions (10a to 10e), the receiving portions (10a to 10e) can be brought closer together or the spacing between the receiving portions (10a to 10e) can be increased. At this time, when the receiving portions (10a to 10e) are pulled or pushed to rotate the rotary ring (11) at a predetermined angle, the gear portion passes over the peak portion and is received in the next groove portion. That is, by maintaining the form in which the gap adjustment hole (511b) and the gear portions are interlocked with each other, the rotation of the rotary ring (11) can be prevented, thereby maintaining the adjusted spacing between the receiving portions (10a to 10e).

[0060] At this time, as shown in Fig. 2, the teeth of the gear wheel portion (111) are formed in a curved shape so that the rotating ring (11) can rotate smoothly, and the peaks and valleys of the gap adjustment hole (511b) are also formed in a curved shape.

[0061] The rotating ring (11) including the gear wheel portion (111) described above is formed in the receiving portions (10a to 10e), and the rotating guide piece (511) constituting the connecting body portion (50) includes a gap adjustment hole (511b), so that when the size of the glove (100) is large or the gap between the finger receiving units (101) is wide, the distance between the receiving portions (10a to 10e) can be sufficiently secured to prevent the finger receiving units (101) respectively mounted on the receiving portions (10a to 10e) from contacting each other.

[0062] In addition, when the size of the glove (100) is small or the gap between the finger receiving units (101) is narrow, the finger receiving units (101) must be unnecessarily spread apart and placed in each receiving portion (10a to 10e). In such a case, there is a problem that the finger receiving units (101) increase in size. Therefore, when the size of the glove (100) is small or the gap between the finger receiving units (101) is narrow, the gap between the receiving portions (10a to 10e) can be narrowed so that the finger receiving units (101) can be easily placed in the receiving portions (10a to 10e) without excessively spreading them apart.

[0063] Additionally, a connecting passage (51a) connected to a connecting hole (11a) is formed in the connecting unit (51).

[0064] On the upper side of the body (52), connection units (51) are arranged at regular intervals.

[0065] The connecting unit (51) can be integrally formed or combined with the upper side of the body part (52).

[0066] And, the installation main body (20) is connected to the lower side of the body (52).

[0067] At this time, the aforementioned connecting passage (51a) is formed to have a length extending from the connecting unit (51) to the body part (52) and is also connected to the internal space of the installation main body part (20).

[0068] That is, the connecting passage (51a) is jointly formed in the connecting unit (51) and the body part (52). At this time, one side of the connecting passage (51a) applied to the connecting unit (51) is connected to the entrance (111a) of the connecting hole (11a), and one side of the connecting passage (51a) applied to the body part (52) is connected to the internal space of the installation main body part (20).

[0069] Accordingly, the warm air generated in the drying unit placed in the internal space of the installation body (20) passes sequentially through the connection passage (51a) and the connection hole (11a), is supplied to the supply passage, and then is discharged through the discharge means.

[0070] The body part (52) has its front and back sides facing the parts of the glove that come into contact with the wearer's palm and back of the hand, respectively.

[0071] In addition, at least one additional exhaust means (52a) is formed on each of the front and back sides of the body part (52) to exhaust warm air toward the part of the glove (100) that comes into contact with the wearer's palm and back of the hand.

[0072] The additional exhaust means (52a) can be formed alone to exhaust warm air.

[0073] The additional discharge means (52a) are formed in multiple pieces spaced apart from each other at regular intervals so that warm air can be evenly sprayed.

[0074] A connecting passage (51a) connected to the supply passage (13) is formed inside the connecting body (50).

[0075] Warm air for drying gloves (100) is delivered to the supply channel (13) through the connecting channel (51a).

[0076] At this time, the connecting body (50) accommodates the wearer's palm and back of the hand area among the gloves (100).

[0077] The discharge means (14) can also be formed on the upper surface of the receiving portion (10a to 10e).

[0078] The discharge means (14) formed on the upper surface of the receiving portions (10a to 10e) sprays warm air toward the ceiling surface (101a) of the receiving portions (10a to 10e) to push the finger receiving unit (101) upward, thereby preventing the finger receiving unit (101) from shrinking and becoming shorter when drying the glove (100), and effectively drying the overlapping and thickened portion of the finger receiving unit (101) due to sewing and maintaining its shape.

[0079] With reference to Fig. 1, the connecting unit (51) constituting the receiving portions (10a to 10e) and the connecting main body portion (50) is applied in an inclined shape according to the natural shape of the finger receiving unit (101). As a result, a space is secured between the receiving portions (10a to 10e), so that when each receiving portion (10a to 10e) is received in the internal space of the finger receiving units (101), the finger receiving units (101) can be dried without contacting each other and in a spaced-apart state.

[0080] That is, when the finger receiving units (101) are in contact with each other, the drying efficiency may be reduced, but through the characteristic of the inclined structure of the receiving portions (10a to 10e), sufficient space can be secured between the finger receiving units (101) to enable efficient drying operation.

[0081] Meanwhile, the installation body part (20) is connected to the body part (52) that constitutes the connection body part (50).

[0082] The installation body (20) can be formed as a tubular structure in which an internal space is formed that is connected to a connecting passage (51a) while storing the drying section (30).

[0083] Referring to Fig. 1, five holes (22) are formed on the ceiling surface of the installation body (20).

[0084] Each opening (22) is connected 1:1 with a different connecting passage (51a). That is, the internal space of the installation body (20) is connected to the connecting passage (51a) and the supply passage (13) through the opening (22).

[0085] Accordingly, the receiving units (10a to 10e) can receive warm air for drying from the drying unit (30) described later. More specifically, the warm air generated in the drying unit (30) sequentially passes through the ventilation hole (22) and the connecting passage (51a), is injected into the supply passage (13), and is then discharged into the internal space of the finger receiving unit (101) through the discharge means (14).

[0086] An opening (21) is formed in the installation body (20) to discharge warm air generated in the drying unit (30) to the outside.

[0087] The opening (21) can be formed by at least one or more, and in Fig. 1, two openings (21) are applied, and an example is shown where they are formed on the left side and right side of the installation body (20), respectively.

[0088] The wearer can dry his / her hands and other items through the warm air discharged through the opening (21).

[0089] The door (40) opens or closes the opening (21).

[0090] The door (40) may include at least one of a pair of shielding walls (41)(41) and a connecting wall (42)(42).

[0091] The shielding walls (41)(41) are composed of two pairs. The shielding walls (41)(41) are arranged to face each other.

[0092] The shielding wall (41) is introduced into the internal space of the installation body (20) or withdrawn to the outside depending on the rotation direction.

[0093] A connecting wall (42) connects a pair of shielding walls (41) (41). The connecting wall (42) is received in an opening and closes the opening depending on the rotation direction, or is drawn out to the outside of the installation body (20).

[0094] The connecting wall (42) is rotatably connected to the upper installation body (20) through a rotatably guiding means (43).

[0095] The rotation guide means (43) can be formed as a hinge or an axis.

[0096] With reference to Fig. 1, the connecting wall (42) can be rotated left and right with reference to the rotation guide means (43).

[0097] A pin spring (140) can be further applied to the rotation guide means (43).

[0098] The pin spring (140) generates a force that pushes the door (40) in the direction of being pulled out of the installation body (20).

[0099] The control unit (60) is configured to rotate the door (40) so that the opening (21) is opened or closed, and can be controlled manually by the wearer or semi-automatically by a motor (110).

[0100] The control unit (60) may include at least one of an opening / closing wheel (61), an operating unit (63), a control handle unit (150), and an opening / closing unit (62).

[0101] The opening / closing wheel (61) is installed on an axis (not shown) in the internal space of the installation body (20).

[0102] The axis can be formed in a cross-sectional shape roughly in the shape of the letter "L", including a vertical portion and a horizontal portion extending perpendicularly from the bottom of the vertical portion.

[0103] The horizontal part of the shaft is installed on the inner wall surface of the installation body (20), and the upper part of the vertical part is installed jointly through the first gear (611) and the opening / closing wheel (61).

[0104] This allows the opening / closing wheel (61) and the first gear (611) to rotate in a forward or reverse direction relative to the axis.

[0105] The opening / closing wheel (61) can be formed in a drum or pulley shape to prevent the opening / closing part (62) from coming off.

[0106] The first gear (611) is installed on one side of the opening / closing wheel (61). The first gear (611) receives rotational force from the operating unit (63) or the motor (110) and rotates the opening / closing wheel (61).

[0107] The operating part (63) is placed in the internal space of the installation body (20).

[0108] In the operating part (63), gear teeth (631) that mesh with the first gear (611) are formed at regular intervals.

[0109] Since the gear (631) is engaged with the first gear (611), the first gear (611) rotates in the forward or reverse direction depending on the rotational or moving direction of the operating part (63).

[0110] The control handle (150) protrudes outside the installation body (20) so that the wearer can easily operate it.

[0111] The control handle (150) is coupled to the operating part (63) and includes a connecting member (151) that protrudes outward through a guide hole (22) formed in a curved shape along the length direction of the installation body (20) in a certain area.

[0112] The connecting member (151) is connected to the installation body (20) via a shaft (151a).

[0113] Fig. 7 shows an example in which the shaft (151a) is installed on the connecting member on the guide hole (22), but the shaft (151a) may be installed on the connecting member (151) in the internal space of the installation body (20).

[0114] At this time, the axis (151a) can be formed in a cross-sectional shape roughly in the shape of the letter “L” including a vertical portion and a horizontal portion extending in a right angle direction from the lower end of the vertical portion.

[0115] The horizontal part of the shaft (151a) is installed on the inner wall surface of the installation body (20), and the upper part of the vertical part is installed through the connecting member (151).

[0116] Accordingly, the connecting member (151) can be rotated left and right with respect to the vertical portion of the axis (151a), as illustrated in Fig. 6.

[0117] The control handle (150) and the connecting rod can be rotated left and right about the axis (151a).

[0118] At this time, the control handle (150) and the operating unit rotate in opposite directions with respect to the axis (151a).

[0119] For example, when the control handle (150) is rotated to the left, the operating part (63) moves a predetermined distance in one direction and rotates the opening / closing wheel (61) in the forward direction at a predetermined angle, and when the control handle (150) is rotated to the right, the operating part (63) moves a predetermined distance in the other direction and rotates the opening / closing wheel (61) in the reverse direction at a predetermined angle.

[0120] The opening / closing part (62) is configured to open or close the door (40) according to the rotation direction of the opening / closing wheel (61) in accordance with the movement direction of the control handle part.

[0121] The opening (62) can be formed of a wire material.

[0122] The opening / closing part (62) is wound around the circumference of the opening / closing wheel (61) at approximately the central part.

[0123] Both sides of the opening / closing part (62) extend to the left and right sides of the opening / closing wheel (61), respectively.

[0124] For example, the end of the opening (62) can be fixed to the connecting wall (42) or shielding wall (41) by heat bonding or welding.

[0125] As another example, a ring (not shown) may be formed on the connecting wall (42) or the shielding wall (41) to which the end of the opening / closing part (62) is fixed in a coiled form.

[0126] The opening / closing part (62) opens or closes the opening by pulling or pushing the door (40) depending on the rotation direction of the opening / closing wheel (61).

[0127] For example, as shown in Fig. 6, when the opening / closing wheel (61) is rotated in the reverse direction, the opening / closing part (62) is wound around the opening / closing wheel (61) and pulls the door (40).

[0128] In this case, a certain area of ​​the shielding wall (41) is accommodated in the internal space of the installation body (20).

[0129] And, other predetermined areas of the connecting wall (42) and the shielding wall (41) are accommodated in the opening (21) to close the opening (21).

[0130] At this time, the pin spring (140) generates a force that pushes the door (40) in the opening direction, but the opening / closing part (62) remains wound around the opening / closing wheel (61).

[0131] That is, since the force with which the opening / closing part (62) pulls the door (40) is stronger than the force with which the pin spring (140) pushes the door (40), the door (40) can be kept in a state where the opening (21) is closed.

[0132] Meanwhile, as illustrated in Fig. 1, when the opening / closing wheel (61) is rotated in the forward direction, the opening / closing part (62) is released. This causes the door (40) of the pin spring (140) to be pushed by elastic force and protrude outward from the installation body (20). This causes the opening (21) to be opened, and the warm air generated in the drying part (30) is discharged outward from the installation body (20) through the opening.

[0133] At this time, the opening / closing part (62) generates a force that pushes the door (40) as it is pushed out.

[0134] Continuing, as shown in Fig. 1, the shielding wall (41) and the connecting wall (42) open the opening (21) in an inclined structure. As a result, the warm air is discharged downward.

[0135] At this time, the opening (22) is closed by the control unit (80) described later. Therefore, the warm air is discharged to the outside of the installation body (20) only through the space formed between the shielding wall (41) and the connecting wall (42).

[0136] That is, the warm air is collected in the space (S) formed by the shielding wall (41) and the connecting wall (42) and then discharged to the outside. By discharging the warm air in one direction, it can be supplied intensively to hands or other wet items. This can improve the drying efficiency of hands or other wet items.

[0137] Meanwhile, the motor (110), the first button (120), and the second button (130) are configured to automatically open or close the opening (21) by rotating the opening / closing wheel (61) in the forward or reverse direction.

[0138] The motor (110) can be formed as an AC motor or DC motor in which the motor shaft rotates in the forward or reverse direction.

[0139] The motor (110) is installed on the inner wall surface of the installation body (20). A second gear (111) that is engaged with the first gear (611) is mounted on the motor shaft of the motor (110).

[0140] The motor (110) can be electrically connected to the battery unit (70) described later and supplied with power.

[0141] The first button (120) and the second button (130) are installed on the outer surface of the installation body (20).

[0142] The first button (120) and the second button (130) are electrically connected to the motor (110).

[0143] The first button (120) is used to rotate the motor shaft in the forward direction.

[0144] That is, when the first button (120) is pressed, the second gear (111) mounted on the motor (110) rotates the first gear (611) in the forward direction, thereby causing the first gear (611) and the opening / closing wheel (61) to rotate in the forward direction together. Accordingly, the opening / closing part (62) pushes the door (40) to open the opening (21).

[0145] And, when the second button (130) is pressed, the second gear (111) mounted on the motor (110) rotates the first gear (611) in the reverse direction, and as a result, the first gear (611) and the opening / closing wheel (61) rotate together in the reverse direction. Accordingly, the opening / closing part (62) pulls the door (40) to seal the opening (21).

[0146] As described above, the dryer according to one embodiment of the present invention can manually open and close the opening (21) through the aforementioned control handle, and can also automatically open and close the opening (21) through the motor (110), the first button (120), and the second button (130).

[0147] Meanwhile, the control unit (80) is configured to allow the warm air generated in the drying unit (30) to pass through the opening (22) and be supplied to the connecting passage (51a), or to prevent the warm air from passing through the opening (22) and to be discharged to the outside only through the opening (21).

[0148] The control unit (80) may include at least one of a passage unit (81), a center unit (82), a floating unit (83), an additional center unit (84), a fluid unit (85), and a control unit (86).

[0149] The passage (81) is installed in the internal space of the installation body (20). The passage (81) can be placed on the lower side of the through hole (22).

[0150] The passage (81) can be formed in a ring or square frame shape.

[0151] The passage part (81) has a passage hole (81a) formed by this shape to allow warm air to pass through.

[0152] A step is formed on the lower inner circumference of the passage (81) to support the bottom surface of the fluid unit (85) described later.

[0153] The center unit (82) is placed in the center of the passage hole (81a).

[0154] A through hole is formed in the center unit (82) through which the adjustment unit (86) described later passes.

[0155] The floating unit (83) is applied in multiple units and is formed radially along the circumference of the center unit, with one end connected to the center unit (82) and the other end connected to the inner surface of the passage (81).

[0156] At this time, the floating unit (83) can be formed integrally with the center unit (82) and the passage section (81).

[0157] The floating units (83) are arranged at regular intervals from each other, so that both sides are spaced apart from each other. In addition, the passage holes (81a) are divided into a plurality due to the floating units (83), and the passage holes (81a) are each exposed between the floating units (83).

[0158] At this time, the floating unit (83) is formed in a shape in which the width gradually increases as it goes from the other end connected to the center unit (82) to the surface of the passage (81). Therefore, the floating unit (83) can be formed in an approximately fan-shaped shape.

[0159] The additional center unit (84) is connected to the bottom surface of the center unit (82) and is placed in the center of the passage hole (81a).

[0160] The additional center unit (84) can be formed in the same shape as the center unit (82).

[0161] And, the additional center unit (84) can be formed to have the same or different size as the center unit (82).

[0162] A through hole is formed in the additional center unit (84) through which the adjustment unit (86) described later passes.

[0163] The fluid unit (85) is applied in multiple units and is formed radially along the periphery of the additional center unit (84). One end is connected to the additional center unit (84), and the other end is simply in contact with the inner surface of the passage portion (81).

[0164] The fluid unit (85) is applied in the same number as the floating unit (83).

[0165] The fluid units (85) are arranged at regular intervals from each other, so that both sides are spaced apart from each other.

[0166] The fluid unit (85) can be formed in the same shape as the floating unit (83).

[0167] The fluid unit (85) is rotated in the forward and reverse directions by the control unit (86) described later, thereby changing the exposure range of the passage hole (81a).

[0168] The control unit (86) is mounted in a through hole of the additional center unit (84) in a certain area.

[0169] The additional center unit (84) is structured to be coupled to the control unit (86), and when the control unit (86) rotates, the additional center unit (84) rotates in the same direction.

[0170] And, a certain area of ​​the adjustment unit (86) is accommodated in the through hole of the center unit (82). The certain area of ​​the adjustment unit (86) is formed to have a diameter that allows it to rotate in place in the through hole of the center unit (82). Therefore, the adjustment unit (86) rotates together with the additional center unit (84), but rotates in place in the center unit (82).

[0171] The lower area of ​​the control unit (86) protrudes downward from the additional center unit (84).

[0172] The lower part of the adjustment unit (86) is coupled to the upper surface of the opening / closing wheel (61). As a result, the adjustment unit (86) and the opening / closing wheel (61) rotate together in the same direction.

[0173] An upper head (861) supported on the upper surface of the center unit (82) is formed at the top of the control unit (86).

[0174] And, a lower head (862) is formed at the bottom of the control unit (86) to be coupled to the upper surface of the opening / closing wheel (61).

[0175] At this time, the dryer according to one embodiment of the present invention is designed so that when the opening / closing wheel (61) rotates in the direction of closing the door (40), the control unit (86) rotates in the direction of closing the passage hole, and when the opening / closing wheel rotates in the direction of opening the door (40), the control unit rotates in the direction of opening the passage hole, the control unit rotates in the direction of opening the passage hole, the control unit rotates in the direction of opening the passage hole.

[0176] Accordingly, when the opening (21) is opened, the flow unit (85) can close the passage hole (81a) so that the heat generated in the drying section (30) can be discharged to the outside of the installation body (20). And, when the opening (21) is closed, the flow unit (85) can open the passage hole (81a) so that the heat generated in the drying section (30) can be supplied to the supply passage (13).

[0177] Additionally, by simultaneously rotating the opening / closing wheel (61) and the adjustment unit (86) in the forward or reverse direction through the aforementioned control handle (150), and adjusting the rotation range or angle thereof, the opening or closing range of the flow unit (85) with respect to the passage hole (81a) can be adjusted, and the passage hole (81a) can be completely opened or completely closed.

[0178] That is, when the opening / closing wheel (61) and the control unit (86) are gradually rotated in the forward direction while the fluid units (85) and the floating units (83) are positioned in a vertical line, the fluid units (85) gradually cover the divided passage holes (81a), so that warm air is not supplied to the supply passage (13).

[0179] And, when the opening / closing wheel (61) and the control unit (86) are gradually rotated in the opposite direction while the flow units (85) cover the passage holes (81a), the flow units (85) gradually open the divided passage holes (81a), so that warm air is supplied to the supply passage (13).

[0180] Accordingly, the wearer can open the opening (21) by operating the control handle or pressing the first button, then rotate the fluid units (85) through the lower head (862) to completely cover each of the passage holes (81a), then insert the hand into the internal space of the installation body (20) through the opening (21), and then operate the drying unit (30) to dry the hand and other wet items.

[0181] At this time, although not shown in the drawing, the dryer (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include at least one of a first stopper (not shown) that supports and stops one of the fluid units (85) when the fluid units (85) rotate while completely covering the passage hole (81a), and a second stopper (not shown) that supports and stops one of the fluid units (85) when the fluid units (85) rotate while completely opening and closing the passage hole (81a).

[0182] The control unit (80) is a structure hidden in the internal space of the installation body (20), and is not easily visible to the wearer.

[0183] Therefore, by installing the first stopper and the second stopper, it is possible to check the fully open and fully closed states of the passage holes (81a) through the flow units (85) even if the wearer does not directly see and confirm them with his or her eyes.

[0184] At this time, the first stopper and the second stopper can be installed on the bottom surface of either floating unit (83).

[0185] Additionally, the dryer (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include a conversion unit for selectively converting the direction of blowing hot air through the drying unit (30).

[0186] The conversion unit may include at least one of a mounting boss unit that is coupled to one side and the other side of a heating fan (31) constituting a drying unit (30), and has a fixing groove formed therein, a rotation guide shaft that is installed on an inner wall surface of the installation main body unit (20) and is received in the fixing groove of one of the facing mounting boss units to guide rotation of one of the mounting boss units in place, a hollow magnet unit that is embedded in one side of the installation main body unit (20), and a rotating body that penetrates the hollow portion of the magnet unit on the outside of the installation main body unit (20), is fixed to the fixing groove of the other mounting boss unit, and is formed of a metal material or has an opposite polarity to the magnet unit so as to be attached to the magnet unit.

[0187] Accordingly, when it is desired to dry hands or items, the rotating body is rotated in the correct direction at a predetermined angle and the drying section (30) is tilted toward the opening (21), so that warm air is discharged to the outside through the opening (21). As a result, the wearer can dry hands or items with the warm air of the drying section (30) from the outside of the installation main body (20) without having to put them into the internal space of the installation main body (20).

[0188] At this time, when the drying unit (30) is tilted, the rotating body is fixed in a state of being attached to the magnet unit, so that the heating fan (31) can be maintained in a tilted state.

[0189] And, in case of wanting to supply warm air to the supply channel (13), the rotating body is rotated in the opposite direction by a predetermined angle to return the drying section (30) to its original position so that the heating section faces the control section (80).

[0190] Meanwhile, the drying unit (30) is installed in the internal space of the installation body (20) and is configured to generate warm air to be supplied to gloves, hands, items, etc.

[0191] For this purpose, the drying unit (30) may include at least one of a heating fan (31) and a heating unit (32).

[0192] The heating fan (31) is accommodated in the internal space of the installation body (20).

[0193] The above-mentioned conversion part may be omitted, in which case the heating fan (31) is bolted to the inner surface of the installation body (20) or attached and fixed using an adhesive.

[0194] The heating fan (31) may include a motor and an impeller, and when the motor operates, the impeller rotates to generate wind.

[0195] The heating unit (32) is placed on the upper side of the heating fan (31).

[0196] For example, the heating element (32) can be coupled to the upper surface of the heating fan (31).

[0197] As another example, the heating part (32) is positioned at a predetermined distance from the upper surface of the heating fan (31), and both sides can be fixed to the inner wall surface of the installation body (20).

[0198] The heating unit (32) can be formed as a heating coil that receives power and operates to generate heat.

[0199] The heating unit (32) operates to generate heat and heat the wind generated from the heating fan (31).

[0200] Due to this, it is possible to supply warm air to the gloves (100) to improve drying efficiency and shorten the time required for drying.

[0201] In addition, even when the temperature is low, the drying efficiency can be improved by intensively supplying heated hot air to the internal space of the glove (100).

[0202] The battery section (70) is installed in the internal space of the installation body section (20).

[0203] The battery unit (70) is electrically connected to at least one of the heating fan (31) and the heating unit (32) to supply power.

[0204] The battery section (70) is formed of a secondary battery and can be repeatedly charged.

[0205] The battery section (70) includes a USB connection terminal (71) to which a normal USB connection cable can be connected.

[0206] The USB connection terminal (71) is exposed to the outside of the installation body (20) so that a USB connection cable can be easily connected.

[0207] Therefore, when the power of the battery unit (70) runs out, the battery unit (70) can be charged by connecting the USB connection cable to the USB connection terminal (71).

[0208] Next, the operation of the control unit (60) and adjustment unit (80) described above will be described.

[0209] Opening or closing of the opening (21) can be accomplished by the wearer moving the control handle in the left or right direction.

[0210] For example, when the glove (100) is placed on the receiving portion (10a to 10e) and the connecting body portion (50), the control handle portion is moved in one direction to close the opening (21) with the door (40). Specifically, when the control handle portion is rotated in one direction, the operating portion moves and the gear teeth rotate the first gear (61) in the reverse direction, which simultaneously rotates the opening / closing wheel (61) in the reverse direction. Accordingly, the door (40) closes the opening (21). In addition, the control unit (86) and the flow unit (85) also rotate to open the passage hole (81a). In this case, the warm air generated in the drying portion (30) sequentially passes through the ventilation hole (22), the connecting passage (51a), and the connecting hole (11a), is supplied to the supply passage (13), and is then sprayed toward the inner surface of the glove (100) through the discharge means (14). And, some of the warm air is also sprayed toward the inner surface of the glove (100) through the additional exhaust means (52a).

[0211] And, when you want to dry your hands or other wet items, move the control handle in the other direction so that the door (40) opens the opening (21). Specifically, when you turn the control handle in the other direction, the operating part moves and the gear teeth rotate the first gear (61) in the forward direction, which simultaneously rotates the opening / closing wheel (61) in the forward direction. Therefore, the door (40) opens the opening (21). In addition, the adjustment unit (86) and the flow unit (85) also rotate to close the passage hole (81a). In this case, the warm air generated in the drying unit (30) is discharged to the outside of the installation body (20) only through the space (S) of the door (40) described above. Therefore, you can dry your hands or other sports equipment or items by placing them in the direction in which the warm air is discharged.

[0212] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without altering its technical spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive.
