Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a hot air dryer called an air towel that dries hands with hot air blown out.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, in places such as washrooms that are used by many people,
A warm air dryer called an air towel was provided to dry wet hands. The above air towel has a fan that blows air,
This device dries wet hands by blowing warm air using a heater installed in the outlet.It is equipped with a detection sensor that uses light so that it is activated only when requested, and the hot air is blown when not in use. was configured so that it was not sent. Since the air towel requires rapid blowing out of hot air for drying, the heater provided at the air outlet needs to have a large amount of electricity per unit area.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, even if an attempt was made to dry wet hands in a short time using the above-mentioned configuration, the efficiency of blowing hot air onto the hands was poor, resulting in a lack of user satisfaction and failure to achieve energy savings. In washrooms where air towels are installed, deodorizers that emit aromatic materials have been installed on the walls to provide a refreshing feeling to people using the washrooms. However, providing a deodorizer or the like in addition to an air towel on a washstand detracts from the aesthetic appearance of the wall surface, and the effect of the aromatic material in the deodorizer is limited to a narrow range.

The present invention solves the above problems and provides an easy-to-use air towel that increases the usage rate of hot air from an air towel, saves energy by collecting only the hot air, and emits a fragrance when used. The purpose is to

[Means for solving problems]

The means to solve the above problem is to use an air towel equipped with a fan motor that blows air and a heater that warms the air.
The present invention includes a funnel-shaped recovery section that sucks in the hot air blown out, and a storage section that accommodates an aromatic material to be added to the air blown by the fan motor.

[Effect]

By using the above means, the hot air that is blown out is inhaled and collected, and the hot air is circulated and blown out, which increases the efficiency of using the hot air and saves energy.The aromatic material is also dissipated, making it easier to use. Makes a good air towel.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

The configuration of the embodiment of the present invention is as follows.

The main part of the present invention is shown as part A in the figure, which is a funnel-shaped collecting part. Reference numeral 1 denotes an inlet port, which is a funnel-shaped member whose interior is converged into a tubular shape, and whose opening is covered with a mesh filter 3.

A sensor 2 detects wet hands to be dried, and controls a fan motor 7 and a heater 6. The blowing fans 7a and 7b are pivotally attached to both shafts of the fan motor 7. Reference numeral 6 denotes a heater that warms the air, which is preferably a thermistor or the like with good temperature response, and is installed just before the air outlet. The aromatic material is impregnated into a spongy corpus cavernosum housed in the housing section 8, and is discharged to the outside air through a diffusion conduit 8a.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. When the detection sensor 5 detects a wet hand, the circuits of the fan motor 7 and the heater 6 become rONJ and blow out hot air. As shown in the figure, since air is supplied to the blower fan 7a only from the recovery part A, the hot air blown out gradually swirls from the outlet in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure and reaches the inlet 1.
is attracted to. At this time, since the suction port 1 has a funnel shape, the sucked warm air is sucked in a spiral shape.

The wind speed reaches its maximum speed at the tubular convergence part of the inlet 1,
Moisture contained in the hot air hits the wall with force and is extracted as water droplets on the wall, which fall into the saucer 2. The hot air, which has condensed the moisture contained therein and dried it, passes through the passage 4 and is again blown out from the outlet 6 and circulated.

In addition, since the air intake port of the fan 7b of the fan motorf is closed by the morph body and the partition wall, the opening of the radiation conduit 8a from the storage section 8 containing the aromatic material is sucked. Discharge the aromatic material into the outside air.

It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but can be applied and implemented in various ways.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, the utilization efficiency of hot air from an air towel is increased and energy saving is realized. In addition, the device emits fragrance over a wide area during use, making it an easy-to-use device.
