Description
- The present disclosure relates to subject matter contained in priority Korean Application No. 10-2007-0103716, filed on Oct. 15, 2007, which is herein expressly incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a clothing dryer, and particularly, to a clothing dryer having a fan housing provided with bracket fixing means for preventing one end of a cut-off bracket mounted in the fan housing from coming into contact with a blowing fan so as to increase air volume of hot air passing through the fan housing for exhausting out the hot air in a drum.
- 2. Background of the Invention
- A clothing dryer serves to dry an object to be dried or a drying object by evaporating moisture contained in the drying object resulting from supplying hot air into a drum.
-
FIG. 1 is a front section view showing a clothing dryer in the related art, andFIG. 2 is a perspective view partially showing a blowing fan and a fan housing applied to the clothing dryer ofFIG. 2 . - As shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 , the related clothing dryer 1 generally includes acylindrical drum 11, anair intake duct 17 in which aheater 18 for supplying hot air into thedrum 11 and aheater case 19 are installed, anexhaust duct 24 for exhausting out the air in thedrum 11 containing much moisture having been evaporated from a drying object and a driving motor 40 for rotating thedrum 11. - And, a blowing
fan 22 generating a flowing force is installed in the clothing dryer 1 so as to exhaust air through theexhaust duct 24. The blowingfan 22 is simultaneously operated together with thedrum 11 by the driving motor 40. One end portion of adriving shaft 29 of the driving motor 40 is directly connected to the blowingfan 22 and another end portion thereof is connected to abelt 28 encompassing thedrum 11. - Here, a
motor bracket 27 is installed below the driving motor 40 so as to support both end portions of the driving motor 40 in back and forth directions with being fixed at a lower surface of the clothing dryer 1. - An
idler 13 is installed at one side of themotor bracket 27 so as to maintain a tension of thebelt 28 while thedrum 11 is operated. - Meanwhile, the blowing
fan 22 is received in afan housing 23. - The
exhaust duct 24 communicated toward the outside of the clothing dryer 1 is connected to a rear side of thefan housing 23 so as to exhaust air blowing from the blowingfan 22 outside of the clothing dryer 1. - Here, the
fan housing 23 consists of a front fan housing and a rear fan housing. - A cut-off
bracket 31 is installed in thefan housing 23 so as to reduce noise and increase air volume. Here, in case that thefan housing 23 is formed of a plastic molding material, the cut-off bracket does not need to be additionally formed because a cut-off format can be formed in thefan housing 23 itself. - The fan housing formed of steel has been increasing. In this case, it is difficult to implement the cut-off format in the fan housing. In order to solve this drawback, the cut-off
bracket 31 formed of the plastic molding material is additionally implemented and installed in thefan housing 23. - However, if hot-temperature air flowing in the fan housing 23 contacts the cut-off
bracket 31 formed of the plastic molding material for a long time, the cut-offbracket 31 may be deformed by heat. And accordingly, the air volume passing through thefan housing 23 may decrease due to the thermal deformation of the cut-offbracket 31. - And, if the cut-off
bracket 31 is thermally deformed, it may be detached from thefan housing 22 caused by difference in pressure generated by the blowingfan 22. Accordingly, it may be noisy because the cut-offbracket 31 contacts the blowingfan 22, and the blowingfan 22 or the cut-offbracket 31 may be damaged. - Further, in case that the cut-
off bracket 31 is fixed at thefan housing 23, productivity may be deteriorated and a material cost may increase because an additional coupling member such as a screw is required. - Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a clothing dryer having a fan housing capable of minimizing reduction of air volume even though a cut-off bracket is thermally deformed.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a clothing dryer having a fan housing capable of preventing a cut-off bracket and the fan housing from contacting each other and being damaged by forming fixing means at the fan housing so as to fix one end of the cut-off bracket.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a clothing dryer capable of enhancing an assembly characteristic of a fan housing and reducing a material cost by forming coupling protrusions at a cut-off bracket and forming coupling holes corresponding thereto at the fan housing.
- To achieve these and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, there is provided a clothing dryer comprising, a drum in which a drying object is contained, an exhaust duct connected to the drum and exhausting air in the drum, a blowing fan mounted at an intermediate portion of the exhaust duct and configured to move air, a fan housing receiving the blowing fan and a cut-off bracket mounted in the fan housing. The fan housing is provided with bracket fixing means so as to prevent one end of the cut-off bracket from contacting the blowing fan.
- Here, the bracket fixing means are configured to lock both side ends of the cut-off bracket disposed below the blowing fan.
- As the fixing means for fixing the cut-off bracket are formed at the fan housing, it is capable of preventing the cut-off bracket and the blowing fan from coming into contact with each other or from being damaged and of preventing air volume from decreasing.
- Preferably, one of the bracket fixing means is protruded from an inner surface of the fan housing and the other is formed to be concaved in the inner surface of the fan housing. Here, the concaved bracket fixing means is formed at a front fan housing in a flange shape.
- The fixing means protruded from the inner surface of the fan housing is formed by a forming manner.

FIG. 9 , thecoupling protrusions 232 are not formed at one side portion of the cut-off bracket 230 disposed at the lower portion of the blowingfan 22. That is, thecoupling protrusions 232 are formed only at one portion of each side surface of the cut-off bracket 230 formed in a “” shape when it is 15 viewed at a side of thefront fan housing 210. - Preferably, a portion where the
coupling protrusions 232 are formed have a width broader than other portions so as to obtain a space for thecoupling protrusions 232. -
- A process for assembling the
fan housing off bracket 230 to each other in accordance with the another embodiment of the present invention will be explained. - First, the
coupling protrusions off bracket 230 are inserted into the coupling holes formed at one of thefront fan housing 210 and therear fan housing 220 so as to locate the cut-off bracket 230 at its initial position. - Then, the coupling protrusions of the cut-
off bracket 230 are inserted into the coupling holes formed at the other fan housing so as to match contact portions of thefront fan housing 210 and therear fan housing 220 with each other. In this state, the hemming coupling parts (seeFIG. 3 ) formed at the portion where thefront fan housing 210 and therear fan housing 220 come into contact with each other are hemmed, accordingly the assembly process for thefront fan housing 210, therear fan housing 220 and the cut-off bracket 230 is completed. - As such, since the additional coupling means such as the screw is not required for the process in which the
coupling protrusions off bracket 230, the coupling holes 216 are formed at thefront fan housing 210 and therear fan housing 220 to correspond to thecoupling protrusions fan housing - The aforementioned
