Description

干燥机组件
【技术领域】 本发明总体涉及一种干燥机组件， 该干燥机组件包括： 干燥构件、 吹风 机组件、 以及管道组件， 管道组件选择性地允许在吹风机组件与干燥构件之 间的流体连通。 本发明尤其涉及一种用于坐便器 /坐浴盆的干燥机组件。 该 干燥机组件， 有利地展示了系统的最小磨损（wear), 其在干燥构件处于伸展 位置时允许从吹风机组件到干燥构件的流体连通，而在干燥构件处于缩回位 置时限制从吹风机组件到干燥构件的流通。
【背景技术】 干燥组件具有诸如灵活性等预期特性， 以在处于伸展位置时提供到干燥 构件的流体连通， 而在处于缩回位置时限制到干燥构件的流体连通， 并且在 吹风设备和干燥构件之间提供管道， 其能承受干燥构件重复地伸展和缩回。 尽管该干燥设备如此吸引人， 能在多个方面寻求改进。 比如， 可以期望提供 一种可分离的非软管型 （hoseless) 管道组件， 其可以基于干燥构件的伸展 或缩回而选择性地允许或限制流体连通。其还可以在管道组件的各部分之间 提供倾斜的配合界面， 从而在各部分的配合位置提供最佳配合。存在对干燥 设备进行改进并克服现有技术中的不足的全面需求。
现有技术的方法包括美国专利 No.4,558,473。 这个专利涉及具有用于清 洁的固定杆（wand) 的坐浴盆（bidet) 系统。 独立的用于吹热空气的固定风 道与该杆相邻。 风扇将空气吹入风道。 加热单元设置于风道内， 用于加热通 过风道流到坐浴盆的空气。美国专利 No.5,960,484描述了一种包括喷水管的 厕所设备。 喷水管沿弧形路径伸出和缩回。 该专利披露了一个实施例， 其中 通过对连接在弹簧上的手柄手动施力使喷水管伸出， 这样在手柄释放时弹簧 的偏置力使喷水管缩回。
美国专利 No.4,028,745涉及一种抽水马桶的清洗和干燥系统， 其向液体 喷口提供热水并给分离的空气引导出口提供空气。吹风机使空气流过连接在 管状构件上的气流管线。 升降杆枢接管状构件， 允许液体喷射出口和空气引 导出口可以在贮存位置和使用位置之间旋转。 该专利描述了一个实施例， 其 中吹风机有加热元件来加热空气。
另外的现有技术包括如下。 中国专利申请公开 No.200710199074.2, 其 适合于马桶系统，具有带三个分支的热空气管。其中一个分支加热马桶座圈， 第二个分支加热马桶所在的房间， 第三个分支被引导到马桶钵体 （bowl)。 日本专利申请 No.2007-205141 描述了带有连接到暖空气源的管道的暖空气 干燥机。 往复式干燥喷嘴可伸到使用位置和缩回到贮存位置。 当干燥喷嘴处 于伸展位置时干燥喷嘴在后部具有与空气管道连通的开口， 当干燥喷嘴处于 缩回位置时干燥喷嘴的后开口与空气管道不连通。
通过这种方式， 已经确定诸如这些专利和专利申请等现有技术的多种特 征具有的缺点和不良的特性、结果和效果。本方法认识到并着眼于这些问题， 以提供原来没有的改进。 总之， 本方法更全面的满足提供一种非软管型可分 离空气管道组件的需求。进一歩地， 本方法在空气管道构件的可分离部分之 间提供倾斜的配合界面。
【发明内容】 本发明的一方面或一个实施例涉及一种改进的干燥机组件， 其包括： 干 燥构件， 吹风机组件和管道组件。 本发明包括管道组件的可分离部分， 每个 部分具有与另一部分的配合界面镜像的配合界面。 例如， 管道组件可以在各 部分配合时允许最佳的流体连通而在各部分分离时限制流体连通。
根据另一方面或实施例， 吹风机组件和干燥构件之间的连接是非软管式 的。管道组件的一部分连接到吹风机组件而管道组件的另一部分连接到干燥 构件。 这些可分离的部分允许缩回干燥构件， 而无需移动或弯曲软管， 这样 可以例如简化操作和使磨损最小化。
在另一个方面或实施例中， 每个管道部分的配合界面是倾斜的。 这些倾 斜的配合界面允许在装配时用最小的力使管道部分分离或配合， 同时使管道 部分的卡住 （catching) 或卡死 （hanging) 减到最少。 这些倾斜的装配接头 还不需要精确地对齐， 允许干燥构件和吹风机组件之间的较宽松的对齐公 差。 比如， 干燥构件可以有些偏斜或松动， 从而在干燥构件在伸出时， 管道 组件的各部分基本对准以提供到干燥构件的流体连通。
至少发明的一个实施例旨在提供一种干燥组件， 包括： 干燥构件， 吹风 机组件和管道组件， 该管道组件具有可分离的第一和第二部分， 该第一和第 二部分在各自的第一和第二配合界面处可拆卸地相连， 以提供吹风机组件和 干燥构件之间的流体连通。
在发明的一个方面中， 第一配合界面和第二配合界面是倾斜的。在本发 明的另一方面中， 干燥构件是坐浴盆杆。 另外， 在发明的再一方面中， 干燥 构件是弧形杆。 在发明的另一方面中， 干燥构件进一歩包括液体喷射构件。
在发明的另一方面中， 第一部分和第二部分实质上刚性。 发明的另一方 面进一歩包括加热元件。 本发明的另一方面还包括驱动装置， 以将第一和第 二部分中的至少一个移动到彼此流体连通或移动到彼此不流体连通。在本发 明的另一方面中， 驱动装置是手动操作装置。 在本发明的另一方面中， 驱动 装置是马达。 在发明的再一方面中， 驱动装置是致动器。

【具体实施方式】 根据要求， 这里公开了本发明的详细实施例； 但是， 应当理解为公开的 实施例只是用作本发明的示范， 本发明可以实施成多种形式。 这样， 这里公 开的特定细节不解释为限定，而只是作为权利要求的基础并且作为教导本领 域技术人员以任意合适的方式不同地实施本发明的代表性的基础。
图 1示例了坐浴盆 20。 图 2示例了干燥组件的实施例， 其总体用 30表 示。 干燥组件 30包括干燥构件 40， 吹风机组件 50和管道组件 70。 干燥构 件 40可以在第一位置和第二位置之间移动。 比如， 干燥构件 40可以是坐浴 盆杆， 其具有伸展位置和缩回位置。 可选地， 干燥构件 40例如可以有固定 位置或多个伸展位置。 干燥构件 40的一部分定义了入口 42而干燥构件 40 的另一部分定义了出口 44。 当干燥组件 30操作时在入口 42和出口 44之间 产生流体连通。 例如， 空气可以从入口 42流到出口 44以干燥使用者的某一 身体部位。
图 3中示出了吹风机组件 50。 在示出的实施例中， 吹风机组件 50包括 吹风机壳体 52和内部气体流动源如吹风机 54。可选地， 吹风机组件 50可以 是允许从诸如用于其它装置的加热管或吹风机等外部源流体连通的通道。吹 风机 54可以是任意工业标准气体移动装置， 比如风扇或涡轮。 在示出的实 施例中， 吹风机 54产生气体移动， 使空气流出吹风机出口 58。 如图 4中所 示，干燥组件 30能可选地包括加热元件 56。加热元件 56可以是任意工业标 准加热装置， 例如电加热线圈。 当气体被驱使通过吹风机出口 58并流过加 热元件 56时， 气体变暖。
图 5示出了管道组件 70的实施例。 管道组件 70包括第一部分 72和第 二部分 82。第一部分 72在入口 42处通过诸如螺钉、 螺栓、 螺纹接口、接头 片 （tab)、 胶粘剂或磨擦配合等任意工业标准连接而连接到干燥构件 40。 可 选地， 第一部分 72可以连接到在第一部分 72和干燥构件 40之间的部件。 在示出的实施例中，第一部分 72通过接头片 71连接到干燥构件 40，该接头 片 71装配在干燥构件 40上的接头片插口 46中。第一部分 72具有第一壳体 74。 第一壳体 74中的第一开口 76的尺寸和形状被设置成入口 42相配合， 以提供到入口 42的流体连通。第一部分 77的尺寸和形状被设置成装配在入 口 42内且包括至少一个接头片 71。 第一壳体 74中的第二开口 78的尺寸和 形状被设置成与第二部分 82相配合。 第一开口 76和第二开口 78可以有任 何期望的截面形状， 比如矩形、 圆形或卵形。 在示出的实施例中， 第一开口 76具有大体卵形的截面而第二开口 78具有矩形截面。第一配合界面 80由第 二开口 78最外周边表面定义。 第一配合界面 80可以是第一壳体 74的最外 周边表面， 比如垫圈或涂覆材料。 第一配合界面 80的第一点 73到干燥构件 40的中心轴线 x的距离为 dl。 第一配合界面 80的第二点 75到干燥构件 40 的中心抽线 X的第二距离为 d2。 第一距离 dl可以等于、 小于或大于第二距 离 d2。 在示出的实施例中， 第一距离 dl小于第二距离 d2， 使得第一配合界 面 80倾斜远离从中心轴线 x。
第二部分 82在吹风机出口 58通过例如螺钉、螺栓、螺纹接口、接头片、 胶粘剂或磨擦配合等任意工业标准的连接而连接到吹风机组件 50。 可选地， 第二部分 82可以连接到在第二部分 82和吹风机组件 50之间的部件。 第二 部分 82具有第二壳体 84。 第二壳体 84中的第三开口 86的尺寸和形状被设 置成与吹风机出口 58相配合， 以提供从吹风机组件 50到第二部分 82的流 体连通。第二壳体 84中的第四开口 88的尺寸和形状被设置成与第一部分 82 相配合。 第三开口 86和第四开口 88具有任意所需的截面形状， 如矩形、 圆 形或卵形等。在示出的实施例中，第三开口 86和第四开口 88具有矩形截面。 第二配合界面 90由第四开口 88的最外周边表面确定。 第二配合界面 90可 以是第二壳体 84的最外周边表面， 如垫圈或涂覆材料。 第二配合界面 90的 尺寸和形状被设置成与第一配合界面 80相配合。 在示出的实施例中， 第二 配合界面 90倾斜以与第一配合界面 80成镜像关系， 以在第一部分 72和第 二部分 82相连接时提供最优装配。
在图 8示出的实施例中， 第一部分 72连接到驱动装置 25， 如马达、 致 动器或手动操作装置， 并且第二部分 82固定不动。 手动操作装置可以是曲 柄、 控制杆或手柄等。 图 10示出了例如具有旋转杆作为驱动装置 25的坐浴 盆。 可选地， 第二部分 82可以连接到驱动装置 25而第一部分 72可以固定 不动， 或第一部分 72和第二部分 82均固定不动， 或者第一部分 72和第二 部分 82均连接到驱动装置 25。如图 8中所示，干燥构件 40也连接到驱动装 置 25且干燥构件 40处于完全伸展的位置。 可选地， 干燥构件 40可以是固 定不动的。 干燥构件 40可进一歩包括喷射构件 48， 如图 8A所示。 喷射构 件 48可以例如用于在使用者的某一身体部位喷水。
图 9示出了处于完全缩回位置的干燥构件 40和第一部分 72。 示出的实 施例操作以在缩回位置将第一部分 72从第二部分 82分离，使得第一部分 72 不通过第二部分 82接收来自吹风机组件 50的任何气流。阻止气流进入第一 部分 72也就阻止了气流通过干燥构件 40和出口 44。例如， 当使用者（未示 出） 希望有来自干燥构件 40的气流， 使用者启动驱动装置 25， 使干燥构件 40移动到如图 8所示的伸展位置。第一配合界面 80与第二配合界面 90配合， 使得气体可以通过管道组件 70从吹风机组件 50流到干燥构件 40。 可选地， 吹风机组件 50可以反转气流，使得气体可以通过管道组件 70从干燥构件 40 流到吹风机组件 50。 反转气流可以使用空气来产生吸入或真空效果。
即使第一部分 72和第二部分 82没有完全配合，气流也可以被引导通过 出口 44。 比如， 干燥构件 40没有完全伸出， 或者， 第一部分 72和第二部分 82中的一个或两个没有对准。只要第一部分 72与第二部分 82部分配合，一 些气流仍可以流过管道组件 70，允许继续使用坐浴盆的干燥特性，直到不对 准被纠正。
图 10示出了总体用 130表示的干燥组件，具有驱动装置 125，其是手动 操作装置。 驱动装置 125是连接到第一或第二部分 72、 82中的至少一个的 枢转臂。 驱动装置 125可以在一个方向上手工旋转以将第一和第二部分 72、 82移到配合位置。驱动组件可以在相反的方向手工旋转以将第一和第二部分 72、 82移到不配合的位置。
图 11示出了总体用 230表示的干燥组件， 具有驱动装置 225，其是致动 器。 驱动装置 225可以在一个方向上被致动以将第一和第二部分 72、 82移 到配合位置。 驱动装置 225 可以在相反的方向被致动以将第一和第二部分 72、 82移到不配合的位置。
