OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention falls within the technical field of drying solid materials or objects by eliminating the liquid they contain, as well as within the field of methods for drying solid materials or various objects that involve the use of heat, and it specifically relates to a device for utilizing hot airflows for drying clothes or other objects.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Passive drying applications include the use of sun and wind, by hanging clothes or other objects outside, while active drying is done by dryers functioning on gas or electricity. The first method has considerable drawbacks, including damage to the cloth or different materials due to exposure to the sun, as well as the need to watch for rain or strong wind, in addition to the long amount of time the drying process can take.

On the other hand, while clothes dryers efficiently perform operations they are designed for, they require a substantial initial investment for purchasing the machine, and include additional expenses in the consumption of gas or electricity.

The energy used and the necessary investment, as well as drawbacks associated with hanging clothes or other objects to dry outside, in addition to the inefficiency in the use of hot air coming from the condenser unit, are aspects that show it is necessary to develop a functional and accessible innovation that provides users with a new and improved option for drying clothes or other objects.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a device that seeks to provide a way to utilize the outlet flow of condenser units in air conditioning and cooling machines for drying clothes or other objects.

The main function of the device is to direct the airflow coming from the condenser unit in a functional way so that it actively dries the clothes or objects placed inside the device. The air coming from the condenser unit has a temperature greater than room temperature and is driven by a fan, which provides it with characteristics that are useful for drying.

In order to perform this function, the flow is harnessed and redirected, passing through the device, inside of which the thermodynamic properties of the air are used to help actively dry the clothes or other objects placed inside.

The clothes or objects inside receive a hot airflow that, when making contact with them, eliminates the moisture in a quicker and more effective way than the natural air outside or the heat of the sun, without the need to consume additional energy.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

As a complement to the description provided herein and for the purpose of helping to make the characteristics of the invention more readily understandable, in accordance with a preferred practical embodiment thereof, said description is accompanied by a set of drawings constituting an integral part of the same, which by way of illustration and not limitation represent the following:

Figure 1 shows an upper perspective view of the dryer.

Figure 2 shows an upper plan view of the dryer.

Figure 3 shows a front view of the dryer, coupled to a condenser unit with a vertical airflow.

Figure 4 shows a right side view of the dryer, coupled to a condenser unit with a vertical airflow. PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

A detailed description, with the help of the figures referenced above, of an exemplary embodiment of the object of the present invention is provided below.

The dryer for clothes or various objects herein described, schematically represented in attached Figures 1 -4, is intended to couple to a condenser unit (1 ) with a vertical airflow, and therefore first comprises an adapter (2) for coupling with a variable cross section, which is placed on an upwards, hot airflow coming from the condenser unit (1 ).

The adaptor (2) directs said hot airflow towards a drying chamber (3), the inside of which has a plurality of clothing items or other objects to be dried, which are inserted and removed from the inside of the drying chamber (3) by means of doors (4).

The airflow hits the clothes arranged inside the drying chamber (3), eliminating the moisture, and exits through a hot air outlet (5), continuing its natural path exiting the condenser unit (1 ).
