The present invention relates to a clothes dryer, and more particularly, to a back cover structure of an improved clothes dryer for installing a communication modem.

In general, a clothes dryer is a home appliance that is dried by injecting hot air into clothing with moisture after washing into a drum.

1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view schematically showing the structure of a conventional clothes dryer, Figure 2 is a perspective view showing a back cover of a conventional clothes dryer, briefly described with respect to the structure of a conventional clothes dryer with reference to the drawings as follows. .

As shown in FIG. 1, an outer case 10 having a front case 11 and a back cover 12 is covered with an appearance of a clothes dryer, and a drum 30 for drying clothes in the outer case 10. It is provided.

The drum 30 is driven by the drive motor 40 and the belt 42, and the air heated by the heater 80 is sucked by the suction duct 90 to the rear side of the drum 30. 91).

In addition, the air introduced into the drum 30 again blows the blower 50 into the discharge duct 71.

On the other hand, the back cover 12 is a free space in which the suction duct 90 is installed, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, approximately the center portion protrudes, a plurality of air suction holes 20 on the surface The drawing part 13 formed is comprised.                         

In addition, the upper and lower ends of the back cover 12 are provided with strength reinforcing beads (14, 15, 16) for reinforcing the strength of the back cover 12, the power cord (not shown) is installed on one side of the upper end Terminal block fixing part 17 for fixing the terminal block (not shown) to the back cover 12 is formed.

On the other hand, as household living spaces increase in recent years, home appliances such as clothes dryers and washing machines that use electricity as power occupy a lot of installation space, and noise and vibration generated during operation are different from other home appliances. It is installed and used in a place such as a veranda separated from it.

At this time, as described above, since the user is installed and used in a place far away from the living room with a lot of time for the user to live, the user could not easily recognize the progress state such as the administration or remaining time of the clothes dryer and the washing machine.

That is, the user has visited the place where the clothes dryer and the washing machine are installed in person from time to time, causing inconvenience to check the progress status one by one.

If the user forgets or forgets the operation after operating the clothes dryer and the washing machine, the laundry is left in the clothes dryer for a long time. Caused damage.

In addition, when the user does not recognize the administrative error of the clothes dryer, etc., and does not respond appropriately, the laundry is in contact with the detergent and the wash water for a long time, and thus there is a problem that the laundry cloth itself, such as discoloration, is damaged.                         

In order to solve the problems as described above, in recent years, a clothes dryer and a washing machine connected to an external device capable of controlling or monitoring the clothes dryer and the washing machine from the outside have been developed.

For example, a drying and washing system that can be controlled by a microcomputer as an external device using the Internet has emerged, and a remote monitoring system (RMS) is introduced to check the washing and drying conditions from the outside. to be.

At this time, a communication modem (not shown) that modulates and demodulates data and information about various laundry should be installed inside the clothes dryer, and a signal cable for transmitting data and information through the communication modem to an external device must be connected. did.

However, in view of the structure of the back cover 12 of the clothes dryer as described above, the drawing portion 13 and the strength reinforcing ribs 14, 15, and 16 formed on the back cover, and the terminal block fixing portion 17 There was no room for mounting the communication modem by forming the back.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a back cover structure of the clothes dryer to improve the back cover structure of the clothes dryer to be equipped with a communication modem.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention in the back cover of the clothes dryer is formed by drawing processing projected to have a free space for the installation of the suction duct to blow the hot air into the drum formed protruding outward of the clothes dryer ; The back cover provides a back cover structure of a clothes dryer, characterized in that the communication modem mounting portion for mounting the communication modem for transmitting and demodulating the data and information about the laundry to the external device.

At this time, the communication modem mounting portion is formed on one side of the lower portion of the drawing portion of the back cover, the communication modem mounting portion is formed so that the communication modem is mounted in a vertical direction, or the communication modem mounting portion is the direction in which the communication modem is vertical It is preferably formed to be mounted with.

In addition, the communication modem mounting portion is formed to protrude from the rear of the back cover and the seating groove for easy connection of the connector of the communication modem, the communication is formed so as to communicate with the inside of the main body so that a part of the connector of the communication modem is exposed or visible to the outside It is configured to include a wealth.

As the back cover is provided with a communication modem mounting unit, the communication modem can be mounted, whereby the dry state can be checked and controlled through an external device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to Figure 3, the back cover 100 of the clothes dryer according to an embodiment of the present invention is processed to have a free space for the installation of the suction duct (see Fig. 1) for blowing hot air into the drum clothes dryer A drawing portion 110 protruding outward is formed.

In addition, an upper end portion of the back cover 100 is provided with a strength reinforcing rib 120 for reinforcing the strength of the back cover 100, and a terminal for fixing a terminal block (not shown) at one upper end thereof. The block fixing part 130 is provided.

In addition, one side of the rear lower portion of the back cover 100 is further provided with a rib for strength reinforcement 140, the other side is provided with a modem mounting portion 150 for communication.

Here, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the communication modem mounting unit 150 is provided for mounting the communication modem 200 for demodulating and transmitting the data and information about the laundry to the external device.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the communication modem mounting unit 150 may be formed at one side of the lower side on which the drawing unit 110 of the back cover is formed.
