The present invention relates to a clothes dryer, in which mounting/dismounting of a fan is made easy by clamping a motor shaft with a tool, such as a spanner, effectively in cases when the fan is dismounted/mounted from/on the motor shaft for service of the product. For this, a motor shaft structure, in a clothes dryer including a drying drum rotatably mounted in a body, a motor bracket fixed to a bottom of an inside of the body, a motor mounted on the motor bracket for generating a rotating power, and a fan coupled to the motor with a shaft, includes chambered parts.

Structure of motor shaft in clothes dryer

There is provided a dry board received and fixed in a dry drum. The dry board is mounted in the dry drum and laundry such as shoes can be stably dried.

Laundry dryer

There is provided an air inlet structure of a laundry dryer. In the air inlet structure, a base defines an air inlet, a front cabinet is disposed in front of the base and defines a suction hole to pass ambient air into the base, a cooling fan is stably disposed in the base to suck the ambient air, a blower tube forms a flow passage for the ambient air, a blower cover is fixed to the base to connect the blower tube and the cooling fan, and an air guide is disposed between the base and the blower cover, the air guide having a shroud at a center portion.

Laundry dryer air guide pressure/friction altering feature

A drum for use in a dryer is provided. The drum includes a plurality of segments joined axially to form the drum's cylindrical shape. The drum has a simple structure enabling the use of standardized segments to facilitate dryer manufacture by reducing production costs, increasing productivity, and reducing failure rates. The drum, which has a cylindrical shape, is composed of a plurality of segments, preferably, three, each arranged axially with respect to the axis of the drum. The drum includes a coupling mechanism, provided on each side edge of each segment, for joining the segments to form the cylindrical shape of the drum.

Drum for use in dryer with tumbler sections

A gas combustion apparatus of a laundry dryer is provided, by which an initial ignition power is improved to enhance an ignition property. The gas combustion apparatus includes a gas supply; a mixing pipe, having a mixing passage extending from an inlet end to an outlet end, for mixing the supplied gas with primary air, the primary air and gas entering the mixing passage at the inlet end and a gas-and-air mixture exiting the mixing passage at the outlet end; and a flame holder, disposed at the outlet end of the mixing pipe, for separating the gas-and-air mixture exiting the mixing pipe into a complex plurality of jetted streams.

Laundry dryer having gas combustion apparatus

A door switch assembly for a washing machine and a dryer having improved reliability is disclosed. The door switch assembly includes a plunger movably provided in a cabinet of the dryer and pushed by a door to operate an electrical switch, an elastic member provided in the dryer, elastically supporting the plunger, and a sealing mechanism configured to prevent water from entering a clearance between the plunger and the cabinet.

Laundry dryer and an air inlet structure thereof

A sensor assembly is provided for an automatic drying machine having a rotatable drum containing a load of wet clothes to be dried wherein at least one sensing element is disposed on a surface of an elongated sensor body and is exposed to inside of the drum so as to make contact with the wet clothes. The sensor body is secured directly to a bulkhead having an air outlet opening and is provided at the air outlet opening for effective engagement with the wet clothes.

Sensor assembly for automatic dryer

A device for supporting a burner () and a dryer having the same are disclosed, in which a structure for supporting the burner is simplified, thereby decreasing the manufacturing price and fabricating of the device is easy. The device for supporting the burner includes a base (), a burner generating a hot air, a support member () having a main connecting part provided between the base and the burner for being detachably inserted to the base so as to support the burner.

Device for supporting burner and dryer with the same

An assembly between a front cabinet panel and a front support piece in a laundry drier is stably achieved, to improve work efficiency and productivity in a laundry drier fabrication process. The laundry drier has an internally mounted drum and includes a base forming a bottom of a body, a front cabinet panel forming a front side of the body, a pair of side cabinet panels forming opposing lateral sides of the body, a back cover forming a rear side of the body, a top cover covering an upper part of the body, a control panel installed on a rearward end of the top cover, and a front support piece installed behind the front cabinet panel to support a front side of the drier drum. The laundry drier further includes a first support flange extending from an upper portion of the front cabinet panel and having at least one slot formed in a central portion of the first support flange; and a second support flange extending from an upper portion of the front support piece and having at least one hooking portion formed by partially cutting through a predetermined area of the second support flange, to bend the cut area into a hook that protrudes downward, wherein the hook of the second support flange is coupled with the slot of the front cabinet panel, to thereby pre-assemble the front support piece to the front cabinet panel.
