Clothing dryer

Abstract

Disclosed is 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. As bracket fixing means are formed at the fan housing so as to prevent one end of the cut-off bracket from coming into contact with the blowing fan, it is capable of mounting the fan housing at its original position even though the cut-off bracket is thermally deformed and of preventing air volume from decreasing.

1 . 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,   wherein 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.   
   
   
       2 . The clothing dryer of  claim 1 , wherein the bracket fixing means are configured to fix both side ends of the cut-off bracket disposed below the blowing fan. 
   
   
       3 . The clothing dryer of  claim 2 , wherein 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. 
   
   
       4 . The clothing dryer of  claim 3 , wherein the fixing means protruded from the inner surface of the fan housing is formed by a forming manner. 
   
   
       5 . 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,   wherein coupling protrusions are formed at the cut-off bracket contacting the fan housing.   
   
   
       6 . The clothing dryer of  claim 5 , wherein the fan housing is provided with coupling holes into which the coupling protrusions of the cut-off bracket are inserted. 
   
   
       7 . The clothing dryer of  claim 1 , wherein the fan housing is formed of steel. 
   
   
       8 . The clothing dryer of  claim 7 , wherein the cut-off bracket is formed of a plastic molding material. 
   
   
       9 . The clothing dryer of  claim 7 , wherein the fan housing comprises a front housing and a rear housing, and the front housing and the rear housing are coupled to each other by a hemming process. 
   
   
       10 . The clothing dryer of  claim 6 , wherein the fan housing and the cut-off bracket are formed of steel.
