Description

Beschreibung Handtrockner Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Handtrockner, der einen von außen zugänglichen Trocknungsraum aufweist, ein Gebläse und eine Mehrzahl Ausströmdüsen, die an das Gebläse ange¬ schlossen und derart ausgerichtet sind, dass in dem Trock¬ nungsraum ein Trocknungsvorgang ausführbar ist. Description hand dryer The invention relates to a hand dryer having an externally accessible drying chamber, a blower and a plurality of discharge nozzles, which is joined to the fan ¬ and are oriented such that in the Trock ¬ drying space a drying operation is executable.
Ein solcher Handtrockner ist beispielsweise von dem Hersteller "Dyson" Modell "Airblade" bekannt. Bei dem beispielshal¬ ber angegebenen Handtrockner nach dem Stand der Technik handelt es sich um einen solchen, der ein Trocknungsverfahren mit hoher Luftgeschwindigkeit durchführt. Je nach Hersteller kann diese Luftgeschwindigkeit mehr als 600 km/h betragen. Die Luft hoher Geschwindigkeit wird auf die Hände geblasen, so dass auf den Händen befindliches Wasser abgestreift wird. Eine Erwärmung der Luft durch Heizelemente ist für diesen Trocknungseffekt nicht erforderlich, kann jedoch bei Bedarf integriert werden. Bei diesen Handtrocknern ist der Trocknungsraum ausschließlich von oben zugänglich, wobei die Such a hand dryer is known for example from the manufacturer "Dyson" model "Airblade". In the beispielshal ¬ over specified hand dryer according to the prior art is one which carries out a drying process with high air velocity. Depending on the manufacturer, this air speed can be more than 600 km / h. The air of high speed is blown on the hands, so that on the hands of water is stripped off. A heating of the air by heating elements is not required for this drying effect, but can be integrated if necessary. In these hand dryers, the drying room is accessible only from above, the
Ausströmdüsen im Wesentlichen horizontal ausgerichtet sind. Aufgrund der von den Ausströmdüsen bestimmten Abstreifebene des Handtrockners in horizontaler oder leicht zum Benutzer geneigter Richtung müssen die Hände von oben durch die Abstreifebene in den Trocknungsraum geführt werden. Bei Einhal¬ tung einer ergonomischen Neigung der Handgelenke ist es dafür notwendig, die Ellenbogen bei der Benutzung des Handtrockners in einem Abstand oberhalb eines Einführschlitzes zu platzie¬ ren. Ein Greifbereich des Handtrockners bzw. der Trocknungs¬ raum liegt im Inneren des Gerätes und ist nur von oben einsehbar. Daher kann es vorkommen, dass Benutzer gehemmt sind, in das laut arbeitende und stark fühlbar an den Fingern wirkende Gerät hineinzugreifen. Dies kann bei Benutzern des Handtrockners zu Unbehagen führen. Der eingangs genannte, bekannte Handtrockner ist nach unten wannenförmig geschlossen, was die Ansammlung von Fremdkörpern und Flüssigkeiten fördert. Auch ist der Trocknungsraum aufgrund der engen Öffnung nach oben schlecht zu reinigen. Belä- ge und Verkeimung sind mögliche Folgen, die zu Geruchsbeläs¬ tigungen führen können oder auch zu einer biologisch wirksamen Belastung der Raumluft. Outlet nozzles are aligned substantially horizontally. Due to the determined by the discharge nozzles scraping plane of the hand dryer in a horizontal or slightly inclined to the user's direction, the hands must be guided from above through the stripping level in the drying room. In Einhal ¬ tung an ergonomic inclination of the wrist, it is necessary for this, the elbow in the use of the hand dryer is located at a distance above an insertion slot to platzie ¬ ren. A gripping area of the hand dryer and the drying ¬ space inside the device and is only visible from above. Therefore, users may be inhibited from reaching into the loud-working and highly tactile device on the fingers. This can cause discomfort to users of the hand dryer. The aforementioned, known hand dryer is closed trough-shaped down, which promotes the accumulation of foreign bodies and liquids. Also, the drying room is difficult to clean due to the narrow opening upwards. Based coating ge and contamination possible consequences that can lead to Geruchsbeläs ¬ adjustments or to a biologically active load of the room air.
Des Weiteren sind Handtrockner, die mit hoher Luftgeschwin- digkeit arbeiten, eher großvolumig und überdecken bei der üblichen Wandmontage eine große Bodenfläche. Auch ist es bei diesen Geräten erforderlich, angesaugte Luft in einem Umlenkwinkel zwischen 90° und 180° umzulenken, da die Luft unter¬ halb der Abstreifebene angesaugt, nach oben befördert und so- dann in im Wesentlichen horizontale Abstreifrichtung über die Ausströmdüsen ausgeblasen wird. Furthermore, hand dryers that operate at high air speeds are rather large-volume and cover a large floor area with the usual wall mounting. It is also necessary in these devices to redirect sucked air in a deflection angle between 90 ° and 180 °, since the air is drawn in ¬ half of the stripping, conveyed up and then blown in a substantially horizontal stripping direction on the discharge nozzles.
Ausgehend hiervon liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, den eingangs genannten Handtrockner derart weiterzuentwi- ekeln, dass seine Benutzungsfreundlichkeit erhöht wird. Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to further develop the hand dryer mentioned above in such a way that its ease of use is increased.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei dem eingangs genannten Handtrockner dadurch gelöst, dass das Gehäuse wenigstens zwei nebeneinan¬ der angeordnete Gehäuseteile aufweist, zwischen denen der Trocknungsraum angeordnet ist und die sich in vertikalerThis object is achieved in the hand dryer mentioned above in that the housing has at least two nebeneinan ¬ the arranged housing parts, between which the drying chamber is arranged and in the vertical
Richtung erstrecken, wobei die wenigstens zwei Gehäuseteile die Ausströmdüsen aufweisen, die derart übereinander angeordnet sind, dass eine von ihnen aufgespannte Luftströmungsebene überwiegend vertikal verläuft. Extend direction, wherein the at least two housing parts have the discharge nozzles, which are arranged one above the other such that an air flow plane spanned by them extends predominantly vertically.
Aufgrund der vertikalen Anordnung der wenigstens zwei Gehäuse teile nebeneinander ist der Handtrockner sowohl nach oben, nach unten als auch nach vorn geöffnet, so dass sich gegenüber den Geräten nach dem Stand der Technik eine variablere Benutzung ergibt. Personen unterschiedlicher Größe können ohne Weiteres ihre Hände in den Trocknungsraum einführen und den Handtrockner benutzen. Da der Handtrockner nach unten offen ist, sammelt sich abgestreifte Flüssigkeit nicht im Gerät selbst, so dass etwaige Fremdkörper und abgestreifte Flüssig¬ keiten nach unten ablaufen können. Dies wirkt einer Verschmutzung oder Verkeimung des Gerätesinneren wirksam entgegen . Due to the vertical arrangement of at least two housing parts next to each other, the hand dryer is open both up, down and forward, so that compared to the devices of the prior art results in a more variable use. People of different sizes can easily insert their hands into the drying room and use the hand dryer. Since the hand dryer is open at the bottom, stripped liquid does not collect in the device itself, so that any foreign body and stripped liquid ¬ speeds can run downwards. This effectively counteracts contamination or microbial contamination of the device interior.
Die wenigstens zwei Gehäuseteile können rohrförmig ausgebil¬ det sein und auf ihren, dem Trocknungsraum zugewandten Seiten die Ausströmdüsen aufweisen. Bei dieser Ausführungsform nimmt der Handtrockner besonders wenig Bauraum ein, wobei trotzdem eine wirksame Trocknung erzielbar ist. The at least two housing parts can be tubular ausgebil ¬ det and on their, the drying space facing sides of the blow-off nozzles have. In this embodiment, the hand dryer takes up very little space, while still effective drying can be achieved.
Es kann vorteilhaft sein, wenn ein weiteres, rohrförmiges Gehäuseteil vorgesehen ist, das vertikal zwischen den wenigs¬ tens zwei Gehäuseteilen angeordnet ist und auf beiden Seiten Ausströmdüsen aufweist. Bei Benutzung des Handtrockners kann bei dieser Ausführungsform jeweils eine Hand einer Person zwischen dem weiteren, in der Mitte angeordneten, rohrförmi- gen Gehäuseteil und einem der beiden äußeren Gehäuseteile angeordnet sein, so dass jede Hand von rechts und links mit Luft beaufschlagt ist. Dies fördert die Wirksamkeit des It may be advantageous if a further, tubular housing part is provided, which is arranged vertically between the wenigs ¬ least two housing parts and having discharge nozzles on both sides. When using the hand dryer can be arranged in this embodiment, in each case a hand of a person between the other, arranged in the middle, rohrförmi- gene housing part and one of the two outer housing parts, so that each hand is acted upon from the right and left with air. This promotes the effectiveness of
Trocknungsvorgangs . Drying process.
Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform können die zwei In an alternative embodiment, the two
Gehäuseteile wannenförmig ausgebildet sein, wobei dann die Ausströmdüsen an ihren Vorderkanten angeordnet sind. In diesem Fall wird abgestreifte Flüssigkeit von der Seite gegen die wannenförmigen Gehäuseteile geblasen und kann sodann nach unten aus dem Handtrockner abgeführt werden. Vorzugsweise kann zwischen den wenigstens zwei wannenförmig ausgebildeten Gehäuseteilen ein weiterer Gehäuseteil angeordnet sein, der rohrförmig ausgebildet ist und zu beiden Seiten in Richtung auf jeweils eines der wenigstens zwei Housing parts be trough-shaped, in which case the discharge nozzles are arranged at their front edges. In this case, stripped liquid is blown from the side against the tub-shaped housing parts and can then be discharged down from the hand dryer. Preferably, between the at least two trough-shaped housing parts, a further housing part may be arranged, which is tubular and on both sides in the direction of each one of the at least two
Gehäuseteile gerichtete Ausströmdüsen aufweist. Hieraus ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass jede einzelne Hand einer Peson von beiden Seiten mit Luft beaufschlagt werden kann, so dass der Trocknungsvorgang zügig von Statten geht. Vorzugsweise kann das Gebläse als gesondertes Bauteil ausge¬ bildet und entfernt von den wenigstens zwei Gehäuseteilen an¬ geordnet sein. Dabei ist es möglich, dass das Gebläse ober¬ halb, unterhalb oder neben den Ausströmdüsen montiert ist. Damit kann eine erhebliche Verringerung des von dem Hand¬ trockner überdeckten Bodenbereichs realisiert werden. Bei ei¬ ner Anordnung des Gebläses in Verlängerung einer Zuführung zu den Ausströmdüsen und hinter einer Montagewand kann mit einer Umlenkung der Luft in einem Winkel von 0° bis 90° gerechnet werden. Durch diese geringe Umlenkung werden innere Verluste bei der Förderung des Luftstroms reduziert und die Geräusch¬ entwicklung verringert. Housing parts directed exhaust nozzles has. This results in the advantage that each individual hand of a peson can be acted upon by air from both sides, so that the drying process is done quickly. Preferably, the fan may be formed as a separate component ¬ and be removed from the at least two housing parts at ¬ sorted. It is possible that the blower is mounted above ¬ half, below or next to the discharge nozzles. This can be realized a significant reduction of the covered by the hand dryer ¬ floor area. In egg ¬ ner arrangement of the fan in extension of a feed to the discharge nozzles and behind a mounting wall can be expected with a deflection of the air at an angle of 0 ° to 90 °. This low deflection internal losses in the promotion of the air current are reduced and noise development ¬ reduced.
