Description

Improved hand dryer.

The object of the invention is an apparatus hand dryer

In the current state of the art they are known various hand dryers particularly hand dryers electrical wall structured in a housing that encloses a electrical circuit with one or several heating resistors that They heat circulating air.

Examples of hand dryers of the type described are, among others, U9200237 files (in a technology recent) and P253547 and U144985 (in an old technology).

The hand dryer apparatus of the invention has a new technology:

a) in relation to its electrical circuit, to achieve a significant reduction in energy consumption compared to known electric hand dryers, and

b) in relation to its components, disposition and purposes, to achieve that the diffusion of the emitted air Be an aromatized emission.

Therefore, the recommended hand dryer it constitutes a new invention that involves inventive activity and is susceptible of industrial application.

To better understand the purpose of this invention, a preferred form of practical realization, susceptible to accessory changes that do not distort its foundation.

Figure 1 represents the electrical scheme of the hand dryer apparatus object of the invention.

Figure 2 represents an enlarged detail, as indicated in figure 1.

Figure 3 represents a physical scheme of the hand dryer apparatus object of the invention.

Figure 4 represents, in detail, the diffuser of air freshener (5) used for a non-limiting example of realization.

An example of practical, non-limiting embodiment of the present invention. I dont know discarded at all other embodiments in which introduce accessory changes that do not distort its foundation; by On the contrary, the present invention also covers all its variants.

The object of the invention is a hand dryer device, particularly a wall-mounted electric hand dryer, of the structured in a housing (1) that encloses at least one internal turbine (2) driven by motor (6) and one or more electric heaters (3) circulating air heaters; said apparatus being connected to the power supply network, for example, through a plug or a connecting strip (11) and having a photocell or a push button (12) to be placed in operation when detecting a user.

These types of devices include internally a electrical circuit (C) that is activated / deactivated by the action of a thermostat, of a photoelectric cell or in any other way analogous The activation of the electrical circuit (C) implies heating of one or more resistors (3) that heat the air in circulation

In accordance with the invention, and according to the represented embodiment, in said electrical circuit (C) is intersperses a device through which the resistance of heating the air (3) is fed with half a network cycle. Of this mode the electrical consumption of the device is significantly reduced when the ambient temperature reaches a preset value.

This reduction in consumption can reach reach, and even exceed, 40% of the total consumption of a conventional hand dryer (with feature / performance same or very similar).

Particularly, said device includes a control unit (4) and a diode (41) in circuit (C), which open / close with the contact (nc) of the thermostat (7).

In accordance with the invention, and according to the embodiment depicted, see Figure 3- inside said housing (1) in correlation with the flow of air in circulation driven by the turbine (2) there is at least one diffuser air freshener (5), whose fragrances mix and flow with the air in circulation with what, being the device in use, in addition to its hand dryer function, it is possible to perfume the environment in the environment.

It is indistinct and accessory for the purposes of invented the air freshener diffuser (5) used. For the example of depicted embodiment -see figure 4- a diffuser of air freshener of the "mecha" type: structured in a container (51) containing liquid air freshener in which impregnate a wick (52) that emits aromatic vapors in step of the air in circulation.

The materials may be variable, dimensions, proportions and, in general, those other details accessories or secondary that do not alter, change or modify the proposed essentiality.

The terms in which this report is written they are true and faithful reflection of the object described, being taken in its broadest sense and never in a limiting way.
