Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a body dryer, and more particularly to a body dryer capable of efficiently drying the body after using a bath or shower.

[Prior Art] In order to dry a wet body after taking a bath or using a shower, it is usually only necessary to wipe off water droplets with a towel.

However, especially in the summer or when the air in the changing room is poor and the room temperature is high, it is not possible to dry the body quickly by wiping with a towel because of sweating.

Conventionally, when it is desired to quickly dry a wet body after taking a bath or after using a shower, air blowing by a fan is generally used. Further, in the place where the air conditioning equipment is provided, the drying effect of the room air conditioner may be used.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, since the fan blows air locally,
Not enough effect to dry the whole body. Moreover,
When the fan is placed in a changing room, it takes up space and easily falls, which is an obstacle.

On the other hand, in the case of the room air conditioner, since the room air conditioner originally air-conditions the entire room, it is not possible to efficiently dry only the body, and it is not possible to obtain a drying effect commensurate with the power cost.

Thus, conventionally, no body dryer capable of effectively drying the entire wet body is provided, and it takes a considerable amount of time to wipe and dry the body after taking a bath or using a shower. It was

[Means for Solving the Problems] A body dryer according to the present invention comprises a tile having a large number of air outlets attached to a substantially life-size region of a wall surface, and an air passage provided on the back side of the tile. And a blower for blowing air into the ventilation passage.

[Operation] The body dryer of the present invention is a tile having a large number of wind blow holes (hereinafter, may be referred to as "perforated tile").
Are installed over a life-size area of the wall surface, and the air blower is installed in the ventilation path provided on the back side of this perforated tile, so that cold air, room temperature air, or warm air from the air blower is perforated. Eject from a tile hole into a life-size area. As a result, the entire body is blown,
It can dry a wet body efficiently.

Moreover, since the wall surface itself is used as the blowout part for blowing air, it can be installed not only on the wall surface in the changing room or changing room but also in the shower room or the bathroom, which is advantageous in terms of space.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a body dryer according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the body dryer of this embodiment, the shower 10 is attached to one wall surface 11, and the wall surface 11 and the wall surface 12 orthogonal to the wall surface 11 are positioned below the shower 10 and correspond to a state in which an ordinary person stands upright. Further, the perforated tile 1 is attached over the life-size region. A perforated tile 1 is also attached to the floor surface 13 at a position corresponding to the projected position of the standing posture when the shower is used. Normal tiles 2 are attached to the portions other than the perforated tiles 1. In the figure, 3 and 4 are substrates for adhering tiles 1 and 2, and at least the adhering part of the perforated tile 1 is made of an air-permeable porous plate or mesh.

On the back side of the perforated tile 1, an air passage 5 is formed by an airtight wall 14 and an airtight floor 15, and cool air, normal temperature air, or warm air is sent from an air blower (not shown) as indicated by arrow A. It is configured to be supplied and ejected from the holes 1a of the perforated tile 1. In addition, a trap 6 is provided at the end of the ventilation passage below the floor surface 13, and the perforated tile 1
The water that has flowed into the ventilation passage 5 is discharged from the hole 1a, and the pressure of the air blown from the air blower is maintained.

In such a body dryer, after using the shower 10, by operating the dryer, the wall surface 11,
Air can be blown from the side of 12 and the floor surface 13 over the entire body, and the wet body after the shower can be quickly dried.

In the case of the body dryer of the present invention, perforated tiles may be similarly attached to the ceiling surface so that air can be sent from the ceiling. In that case, a higher drying effect can be obtained, and it is particularly effective for drying hair.

Note that the example shown in FIG. 1 is an embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to what is shown in the figure. For example, even if air is blown from two, three or four wall surfaces. good.

It is also possible to provide only the function as a body dryer without providing a shower facility. In that case,
Drainage facilities such as traps are unnecessary.

Such a body dryer of the present invention can be installed not only in the shower room or the bathroom but also on the wall surface of the dressing room or the changing room. In this case, a sensor or the like may be incorporated to automatically blow air when a person stands in front of it.

[Advantages of the Invention] As described in detail above, the body dryer of the present invention can efficiently dry a wet body by applying air to the entire body. Moreover, since the body dryer of the present invention is built into the wall surface, it has an advantage that it can be installed at various places without taking up space.
