Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION C. Industrial Application Field This invention relates to a body dryer for drying wet bodies in a changing room or the like.

[Conventional technology]

As a body dryer, one disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 1-44239 has been proposed. This body dryer is equipped with an outlet that blows out warm air on the front, and a person stands in front of the dryer to dry their body.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] A body dryer simply provided with an air outlet on the front face has a problem in that hot air is difficult to hit hair, armpits, etc., resulting in uneven body drying.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a body dryer that can dry the whole body evenly.

[Means to solve the problem]

The body dryer according to claim (1) includes a dryer main body having an overhang extending above the head, a front air outlet provided on the front surface of the dryer main body, and a front air outlet provided at the front of the dryer main body, and the above-mentioned projecting portion of the dryer main body. Air is blown to the front air outlet and the overhead air outlet through an overhead air outlet provided with a downward opening, a heat generating member provided within the dryer main body, and the heat generating member provided within the dryer main body. It is equipped with a fan.

The body dryer according to claim (2) includes a dryer main body having a front air outlet on the front surface, a flexible vibrator-shaped air outlet provided on the front surface of the dryer main body, and a flexible vibrator air outlet provided in the dryer main body. The dryer includes a heat generating member and a fan that is provided in the dryer main body and blows air to the front air outlet and the vibrator air outlet via the heat generating member.

[For production]

According to the body dryer of claim 11, the main body of the dryer is provided with an overhead air outlet, so that the user stands in front of the main body of the dryer and dries the whole body with warm air blown out from the front air outlet, and at the same time, the hot air is blown out from the overhead air outlet. You can dry your hair with warm air.

According to the body dryer of claim (2), since the flexible vibrator-like outlet is provided on the front of the dryer body, the user can stand in front of the dryer body and dry the body with warm air blown from the front outlet. , the pipe-shaped outlet can be guided to areas where hot air is difficult to reach for drying.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 3.

In the figure, reference numeral 10 indicates the main body of the dryer, and a projecting portion 1.1 projecting above the head is provided at the upper part of the front surface. A front air outlet 12 is provided on the front surface of the dryer main body 10, and an overhead air outlet 13 that opens diagonally downward is provided on the overhang 11. Further, an air intake port 14 is provided above the overhead air outlet 13, and a flexible vibrator air outlet 19 is attached to the side of the front air outlet 12 on the front surface of the dryer main body IO. Inside the dryer body 10, a partition wall 15 defines a front space 16 that opens to the front air outlet 12 and the pipe-shaped air outlet 19, an overhead space 17 that opens to the overhead air outlet 13, and an air intake path that opens to the air intake port 14. The front space 16 and the overhead space 17 are each opened to the intake passage 1B. Also, 2
0 is a heat generating member provided in the dryer body 1a, and is attached to the hot water vibrator 21 provided across the front space 16 and the overhead space 17, and facing the front air outlet 12 and the overhead air outlet 13. It is composed of fins 22 and 23. A boiler 24 is connected to the hot water vibrator 21. Note that hot water may be supplied by using a heat pump or an electric heater instead of the boiler 24. Furthermore, outside air is taken in from the intake path 18 into the front space 16 and the overhead space I7, and the air is fed to the front surface through the heat generating member 20. A fan 25 blows air to the air outlet 12 and the overhead air outlet 13
．． 26 are provided. In addition, the curved opening 12 has
A plurality of louvers 27 are attached to rotate around a vertical axis. As shown in Fig. 3, the louver 27 can be continuously oscillated from side to side by the running water motor 28 to supply warm air over a wide range, and can be stopped at any rotation angle to supply warm air. The direction can be adjusted freely. In addition, running water motor 2
8 rotates using hot water circulating through the hot water pipe 21. Further, a louver 28 configured similarly to the louver 27 is attached to the overhead air outlet 13 as well. Furthermore, 29 is an inspection port, and 30 is an operation panel that rotates the louvers 27° and 28 and adjusts the temperature of the warm air by 4 degrees.

Next, the operation of the body dryer of this embodiment will be explained. First, the boiler 24 is operated to flow hot water into the hot water vibrator 21. Next, the fans 25 and 26 are rotated to take in outside air from the intake ports 14. The taken outside air hits the fins 22 and 23, turns into warm air, and is blown out from each of the air outlets 12 and 13.19.

According to the body dryer configured in this way, the body can be dried with the warm air blown from the front air outlet 12, and the hair, shoulders, back, etc. can be dried with the warm air blown from the overhead air outlet 13, and the vibrator-like air outlet At the outlet 19, areas that are difficult to dry, such as the armpits, can also be dried.

In addition, a heat generating heater may be provided in place of the hot water pipe 21 as the heat generating member, or the hot water vibrator 21 and the heat generating heater may be used together, and an electric A motor may also be used.

Alternatively, it may be possible to provide only the front air outlet 12 and the overhead air outlet 13 or to provide only the front air outlet 12 and the pipe-shaped air outlet 19.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the body dryer of claim (]), since the main body of the dryer is provided with an overhead air outlet, while standing in front of the main body of the dryer, you can dry your whole body with warm air blown from the front air outlet, and also dry your whole body from the overhead air outlet. You can dry your hair with the hot air that blows out.

According to the body dryer of claim (2), since the flexible pipe-shaped outlet is provided at the front of the dryer main body, the user can stand in front of the dryer main body and dry the body with warm air blown from the front outlet. , the pipe-shaped outlet can be guided to areas where hot air is difficult to reach for drying.
