Positional relationship (1) Blower and heating section The rotation axis of the drive means 123 of the blower section 12 is provided parallel to the left-right direction, and the fan 121 and the drive means 123 are adjacent to each other in the left-right direction. The blower portion 12 is arranged on the lower side of the housing 11. As shown in FIG. 1, the lower side of the housing 11 bulges in the left-right direction, and can accommodate the fan 121 and the driving means 123 in an adjacent state while enhancing the design.
The blower portion 12 is arranged so that the center in the rotation axis direction is located at the middle portion in the left-right direction of the housing 11 (range of 40% to 60% from the end). This makes it possible to improve the load balance in the left-right direction.
As shown in FIG. 2, the blower portion 12 is arranged on the front side of the housing 11. More specifically, the drive shaft of the drive means 123 is located on the front side of the center of the housing 11 in the front-rear direction. As a result, a hose body accommodating area 115B having a sufficient space can be secured on the rear side.

Although the hose body 3 (hose 31) can be bent, it cannot be bent so as to be folded back at 180 degrees, so that the folded portion needs to be separated to some extent. The blower portion 12 is arranged so that the blower outlet 122a is located on the front side. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, the hose body connecting portion 14 and the other end portion 312 of the hose body 3 are separated from each other in the front-rear direction due to the size of the blower portion 12 (the position of the rear end of the casing 122). Therefore, the hose 31 can be reasonably bent into a "U" shape (a state in which the hose is extended in a direction away from the air outlet 11b and then bent and then extended in a folded direction). Further, the portion 314 of the hose body 3 extending in the front-rear direction becomes long, and the hose body 3 having a long overall length can be accommodated.
The hose body accommodating area 115B is parallel to the direction in which the blower portion 12 and the heating portion 13 are adjacent (here, the vertical direction), and is located near the lower wall portion 111e of the housing body 111 to the upper wall portion 111d. Is formed in. Therefore, the vertical dimension of the hose body accommodating area 115B becomes large, and the hose body 3 having a long overall length can be accommodated.

As a result, the circuit unit 16 is cooled by the intake air, and the circuit unit 16 can be arranged adjacent to the rear side of the heating unit 13.
The circuit case 161 has a long shape portion in the vertical direction, and the lower side in the vertical direction faces the heating portion 13. Therefore, by arranging electronic components having high heat resistance on the lower side, the space behind the heating unit 13 can be effectively used.
Although the hose body 3 is configured to be bendable, it cannot be bent at a right angle to the rear from the hose body connection portion 14, and is curved in an arc shape as shown in FIG. That is, the lower end of the portion 314 of the hose body 3 in the housed state that extends rearward is located above the upper end of the hose body connecting portion 14 by the radius of the bending arc. .. As a result, a space is formed between the lower end of the portion 314 extending in the front-rear direction of the hose 31 and the upper end of the hose body connecting portion 14, but the heating portion 13 and the outlet 122a of the blower portion 12 are on the front side. By providing the space, it can be integrated with the space formed above the blower portion 12 and behind the heating portion 13, and a large accommodation space can be secured in the vertical direction.

(3) Rear opening The position of the rear opening 11h is such that the lower end of the rear opening 11h (the upper end of the rear wall portion 111c) is located near the upper end of the blower portion 12 with respect to the blower portion 12. That is, behind the blower portion 12, there is a partition rear wall portion 111n and a rear wall portion 111c of the partition partition portion 111f. As a result, it is possible to suppress the rotational noise of the blower unit 12 from leaking to the outside of the drying device X.
The lower side of the rear wall portion 111c of the housing body 111 faces the blower portion 12, and the hose body accommodating area 115B is close to the lower wall portion 111e of the hose body 111, so that the hose body 3 Most of the nozzle body 32 of the hose is accommodated. As a result, the hose body 3 exposed through the rear opening 11h can be reduced in the housed state, and the design can be improved.
The rear opening 11h faces the first intake port 11a of the housing 11. This makes it possible to prevent the flow of air supplied to the first intake port 11a from being blocked by the rear wall portion 111c.
The rear opening 11h faces the first intake port 11a of the housing 11 at a distance. As a result, even when the rear opening 11h is covered with the object to be dried, the air that has entered through the upper opening 11g or the take-out hole 11f can be taken in from the first intake port 11a.
With reference to the nozzle body 32 of the hose body 3 in the housed state, the distance from the lower wall portion 111e to the upper end of the rear wall portion 111c is 50 to 150% of the vertical dimension of the nozzle body 32. As a result, the hose body 3 (nozzle body 32) can be easily accommodated, and the accommodation state can be maintained within the hose body accommodation area 115B.
