Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention is a hot air drying device that blows hot air at a predetermined position of a washed wet hand to dry the hand. This invention relates to a hot air drying device that improves the drying ability and the usability by intersecting the directions of air discharge.

(Prior Art) Various types of hot air drying devices have been proposed in the past, which dry with hot air discharged by placing a wet hand over a predetermined position. It had a structure in which wind generated by a fan attached to a single electric motor was discharged from one direction.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) Therefore, in the conventional device described above, hot air is blown from one direction against the hand held up, so although some parts become hot, it takes time to dry the entire hand. It had the disadvantage that it took a long time.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and provide a hot air drying device that has a short drying time and is comfortable to use.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the hot air drying device according to the present invention discharges air at a position where the hand is held over.
The purpose of this system is to provide a structure that allows two hot air flows to intertwine, and two fans connected to a single electric motor installed in a hot air drying device are mounted centrally at the base of a fan duct each containing a heater. In addition, the air outlets of both fan ducts are opened so that the air emitted intersects at the drying position.

(Function) Therefore, when you place your hand over the drying position, the rotation of the electric motor and the heating of the heater cause warm air in different directions to be discharged from the air outlets of both fan ducts toward the drying position, and the hot air flow It quickly evaporates the moisture that adheres to your hands and dries them.
At this time, warm air is blown against the hand from two directions, so the surface that is directly hit by the hot air flow becomes wider, and
The feeling of contact becomes softer.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the hot air drying apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes an electric motor installed approximately in the center of the machine casing 2. Fans 4,
4 is attached to the shaft. These fans 4, 4 are rotatably installed inside bases 5a, 5a of fan ducts 5, 5 fixedly installed in the machine casing 2, respectively, and when the fans 4, 4 rotate, the bases 5a, 5a Air taken in through intake holes 6, 6 formed in the center is discharged from the mouth ends of the fan ducts 5, 5. Pyramid-shaped heater ducts 8, 8 each having heaters 7, 7 installed therein are removably connected to the mouth ends of both fan ducts 5, 5, and
Each of the air outlets 8a, 8a of both heater ducts 8, 8
is located at the hot air outlet 9 opened at the lower end of the front surface of the machine casing 2, and the central axes of both heater ducts 8, 8 are positioned relative to each other in a direction in which the central axes of the heater ducts 8, 8 intersect at an angle at the lower drying position A of the hot air outlet 9. Install it in the opposite direction.

The hot air drying device configured as described above detects the presence or absence of a hand by placing the hand over the drying position A with a sensor (not shown).
Electricity is supplied to the electric motor 1 and the two heaters 7, 7, and the two fans 4, 4 are simultaneously driven to rotate by the rotation of the electric motor, and the two fans 4, 4 are driven by the rotation of the electric motor.
Produces individual airflow. This air flow passes through fan ducts 5, 5, and heater duct 8, respectively.
heater 7, which is heated while being sent to 8;
7, respectively, and becomes warm air to the air outlet 8a,
They are discharged from 8a and intersect at drying position A.

That is, the hands are located at the drying position where the hot air intersects, and the water that adheres to the hands can be rapidly evaporated by the heated, low-humidity, high-temperature flowing air. In addition, as mentioned above, by placing your hands over the intersecting position of the hot air, the warm air will come into contact with your hands from two directions, expanding the area in contact with the hot air, which will speed up the drying speed. The combination of the two reduces the feeling of wind pressure, and as the drying speed improves, it becomes possible to downsize electric motors and the like.

(Effects of the invention) Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the fan is provided at both ends of the rotating shaft of a single electric motor, and the fan duct has a structure in which hot air can be discharged so as to intersect with each other at the drying position. The practical effects of the embodiments of the present invention are extremely large, such as not only improving the drying ability and improving the feeling of use, but also realizing miniaturization of the device.
