MY166350A - Hand drying device - Google Patents

Abstract

A hand drying device includes a drying chamber (2, 2i, 202, 302) that includes an opening (2c), a first inner wall surface (2b), and a second inner wall surface (2a) facing the first inner wall surface (2b), a nozzle that is arranged on the first inner wall surface (2b) and is configured to blow an air stream towards the second inner walls surface (2a), a supply unit (3) that supplies air stream to nozzle (7b), a hand detection sensor (8) that detects insertion of a hand into the drying chamber (2, 2i, 202, 302, a control unit (30) that operates the supply unit (3) when insertion of a hand is detected by the hand detection sensor (8) and stops operating the supply unit (3) when insertion of a hand is detected by the hand detection sensor (8) and stops operating the supply unit (3) when insertion of a hand is not detected by the hand detection sensor (8), and an illuminating unit that is arranged at a position on the first inner wall surface (2b) shifted from the nozzle (7b) in a direction along the first inner wall surface (2b) and is configured to output light towards the second inner wall surface (2a). A center axis (CA) of the nozzle (7b) and an optical axis of the illuminating unit intersect with each other at a proper position in the drying chamber (2, 2i, 202, 302 where a hand is supposed to be inserted.
