In electrostatic capacitance switch, electrostatic capacitance changes according to the contact area of finger, so by making finger force Ground contact, the variation of electrostatic capacitance become larger, but if lightly touching or touching the end etc. of electrostatic capacitance switch, then quiet The variation of capacitor becomes smaller.In addition, if the conductors such as water are touched, being touched with finger in electrostatic capacitance switch The case where similarly, electrostatic capacitance changes.In the case where small water droplet, the variation of electrostatic capacitance is small, but along master In the case that body flows down the top that such big water droplet is switched by electrostatic capacitance, the variation of electrostatic capacitance slightly becomes larger.
Herein, if in order to prevent mistake caused by the attachment of water detection and by the threshold value of the detection at switch be set to compared with Height then only will be unable to detect by lightly touching switch, so operation sense is deteriorated.On the contrary, if by threshold value be set to compared with It is low, then it can detection be accidentally that finger is touched in the case where big water droplet attachment.In addition, in big water such under main body stream When drop, electrostatic capacitance switch will not be rested on above but be removed in a short time, so by being held in the variation more than threshold value It is considered as detection in the case where more than continuous certain time so as to prevent from accidentally detecting, but needs to open electrostatic capacitance in operation Close touching certain time or more.In the case where airflow regulating switch 12b etc. needs the switch of multi-pass operation, if every 1 time Operating time is elongated, then operability is deteriorated.
Therefore, in hand dryer 1, changed according to the function for the switch to be operated to be touched until accepting operation Necessary time.The switching and key lock of on-off switch 12a, airflow regulating switch 12b and heater button 12c switch Necessary time when key lock setting in 12d is all identical, and extension must when only key lock in key lock switch 12d releases The time is wanted, such as is set as being not bound by operation if not lasting touching about 2 seconds or more.Thereby, it is possible to be well maintained as far as possible Operability, and prevent water droplet flows down caused malfunction.
Next, illustrating the summary of movement.It is corresponding red with the "off" of the on-off switch 12a of operation portion 12 LED light 13a1The state lighted is that the operating of hand dryer 1 becomes the state closed.Firstly, if finger is made to touch on-off Switch 12a, then on-off switch 12a is acted and is operated and be turned on, LED light 13a corresponding with " on "2It lights, and with The corresponding red LED light 13a of "off"1Extinguish.If operating is turned on, whenever hand dryer 1 all becomes workable Standby mode.Therefore, if being inserted into the hand drenched to hand insertion section 9, front side detection sensor 8a and rear side detection sensing Device 8b can detect hand and act air supplying part 2, keep hand dry from air outlet 5a, 5b blow out air.
In addition, if operating is turned on, each LED light 13b corresponding with airflow regulating switch 12b1~13b5And heating The corresponding LED light 13c of device switch 12c and LED light 13d corresponding with key lock switch 12d cooperates the setting shape at its time point State and be remain on or extinguish, report each setting state.If the touching operation portion 12 in the state that operating is turned on On-off switch 12a, then the power supply of hand dryer 1 is cut off, LED light 13a corresponding with the "off" of display unit 131It lights, And LED light 13a corresponding with " on "2Extinguish, each LED light 13b corresponding with airflow regulating switch 12b1~13b5And plus The hot corresponding LED light 13c of device switch 12c and LED light 13d corresponding with key lock switch 12d all extinguishes.
Only in the state that operating is turned on, it is able to carry out airflow regulating switch 12b, the heater button of operation portion 12 12c's and key lock switch 12d accepts.If touching airflow regulating switch 12b, every touching in the state that operating is turned on Air quantity becomes larger a stage when touching one time, corresponding LED light 13b1~13b5From successively lighting from left to right.Air quantity is provided with 5 ranks Section, 5 transversely arranged LED light 13b1~13b5The state all lighted means to be set as maximum quantity of wind.If being set as Primary air flow regulating switch 12b is also operated in the state of maximum quantity of wind, then back to minimum air quantity, in 5 transversely arranged LED Lamp 13b1~13b5Among, the only LED light 13b of left end1It lights, remaining LED light 13b2、13b3、13b4、13b5Extinguish.
If in the state that operating is turned on touch heater button 12c, allow hand over heater 4 " on " and "off" is the setting state of " on " if it is heater 4, then heater 4 acts and corresponding LED light 13c is lighted.If It is the setting state that heater 4 is "off", then heater 4 is failure to actuate and LED light 13c extinguishes.About heater 4 connection and The switching of disconnection is repeated in " on " and "off" whenever operating heater button 12b.
If touching key lock switch 12d in the state that operating is turned on, the setting of key lock is allowed hand over.It is setting It is set in the state of key lock, corresponding LED light 13d flashing, in the state of being not set to key lock, corresponding LED light 13d Extinguish.If touching key lock switch 12d in the state of being not set to key lock, it is set as key lock, if setting To touch key lock switch 12d in the state of key lock, then key lock is released from.
If being set as key lock, the on-off switch 12a of the operation portion 12 as Operation switch, air quantity adjusting are opened All operations for closing 12b, heater button 12c and full water mode switch 12e, which are accepted, to be prohibited.Therefore, it is being set as key-lock In the state of calmly, no matter make finger touching on-off switch 12a, airflow regulating switch 12b, heater button 12c and expires Which of aqueous mode switch 12e switch will not all accept operation, switching, the change that can not be set.
If touching full water mode switch 12e in the state that operating is turned on, allowing hand over displacement can 7 is full water shape Operation mode when state.For example, allowing hand over the mode to shut down when displacement can 7 is full water state and the mould to remain in operation Formula.For example, if it is the setting state of mode to shut down when displacement can 7 is full water state, then corresponding LED light 13e It lights.If it is the setting state of the mode to remain in operation when displacement can 7 is full water state, then LED light 13e extinguishes.
Next, illustrating the movement of hand dryer 1.The subscriber station of hand dryer 1 to hand dryer 1 face side, from hand dryer 1 Top set by opening portion the hand drenched is inserted into hand insertion section 9.Then, hand is made to enter the lower part of insertion section 9 in one's hands (inboard), detection unit 31 detect the hand by being inserted into and in front side detection sensor 8a and rear side detection sensor 8b Middle electrostatic capacitance is changed, and hand probe unit 33 is determined as that hand is inserted into insertion section 9 in one's hands.Control unit 34 is sent out as a result, Instruction makes air supplying part 2 start running out.If air supplying part 2 acts, from air entry 50 be aspirated through air filter 51 and by The air of the outside of dust is eliminated, which is inhaled into the suction side of air supplying part 2 by intake guide 52.Air supplying part 2 Pressure-air is generated according to the air sucked in this way.
It is vented from the exhaust side of air supplying part 2 into discharge chamber 60 by air supplying part 2 by the pressure-air of high-pressure trend.This When, in the case where heater button 12c is unlatching, a part of pressure-air is heated by heater 4.Then, The pressure-air being heated by heater 4 and the height not being heated by heater 4 after through exhaust outlet 61 It presses air to be mixed, and is branched to front-seat airway 62 and heel row airway 63 and circulates.It is branched off into front-seat airway 62 and heel row airway 63 and circulate warm wind pressure-air by being set to the air outlet 5a of front lip 22 and setting It is placed in the air outlet 5b of rear flange 21, is transformed to high-speed air from pressure-air respectively.Then, the high-speed air of the warm wind from Air outlet 5a, 5b are sprayed into hand insertion section 9.
In the width direction of hand insertion section 9, multiple air outlet 5a, 5b are substantially linearly provided with, so inserting in hand Near the opening portion for entering portion 9, it is ejected in the high-speed air of the gas curtain shape extended in the width direction of hand insertion section 9.The gas curtain The high-speed air of shape blow to the user being inserted into insertion section 9 in one's hands wrist or wrist vicinity the back of the hand and palm this two Face, the water for adhering to front and back sides in one's hands become water droplet and are blown off.
At this point, the emission direction of air outlet 5a, 5b than horizontal direction slope slightly downward towards in hand insertion section 9 Side.Therefore, the high-speed air sprayed from air outlet 5a, 5b is also inserted into the direction sloped slightly downward than horizontal direction, i.e. hand The inboard of portion 9 sprays.In other words, high-speed air is not vertical but to tilt towards finger tip direction is (downward) relative to hand Angle collided.Therefore, from the most of after collision is in one's hands of air outlet 5a, 5b high-speed air sprayed, edge is set about And flowed from wrist towards finger tip direction, it is attached to the most of of the water of hand and is flowed also along hand from wrist towards finger tip direction It is dynamic.Then, the water for reaching finger tip is detached from from finger tip near the bottom of hand insertion section 9 and becomes water droplet, most of direction Lower section, i.e. hand insertion section 9 bottom wall 9c and blown off.
It is blown off from the hand drenched and the water droplet that is detached from falls on the antetheca 9a, rear wall 9b or bottom wall 9c of hand insertion section 3.So Afterwards, the bottom wall 9c for falling on water droplet towards the bottom as hand insertion section 9 of antetheca 9a and rear wall 9b is flowed down, from hand insertion section The discharge outlet (not shown) being arranged in 9 bottom wall 9c is recycled to displacement can 7 via draining road 64.
