Description
本発明は、手乾燥装置に関する。
The present invention relates to a hand dryer.
従来の手乾燥装置では、手を差し入れたり、抜き出したりするなどの使用手順を示した複数の案内表示図が、使用者の視認できる本体の天面側平面部に配置されていた。そして各案内表示図が、高圧空気流発生装置の運転時間に応じて順番に点灯していた。その結果、案内表示図の記載内容が使用者に順番に目視確認され、使用手順が喚起されていた。（例えば、特許文献１参照）。
In the conventional hand drying apparatus, a plurality of guide display diagrams showing usage procedures such as inserting and removing hands are arranged on the top surface side plane portion of the main body which can be visually recognized by the user. And each guidance display figure was lighted in order according to the operation time of a high pressure airflow generator. As a result, the contents described in the guidance display diagram were visually confirmed by the user in order, and the usage procedure was evoked. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
以下、その従来例について図５、図６を参照しながら説明する。図５は従来の手乾燥装置の側面断面図、図６は同手乾燥装置の斜視図である。
Hereinafter, the conventional example will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a side sectional view of a conventional hand dryer, and FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the hand dryer.
図５に示すように従来の手乾燥装置は手乾燥室１０３と、高圧空気流発生装置１０４と、噴出孔１０５と、センサ１０６とが備えられている。ここで手乾燥室１０３は、外部に向かって開口した手挿入口１０１から手１０２を差し入れたり、抜き出したりする。高圧空気流発生装置１０４は、高圧空気流を発生する。噴出孔１０５は、手挿入口１０１近傍に配置され、高圧空気流発生装置１０４より発生した高圧空気流を手乾燥室１０３内に向けて送出する。センサ１０６は、使用者の手１０２の挿入状態を検出する。
As shown in FIG. 5, the conventional hand dryer includes a hand dryer 103, a high-pressure airflow generator 104, an ejection hole 105, and a sensor 106. Here, the hand drying chamber 103 inserts or removes the hand 102 from the hand insertion port 101 opened toward the outside. The high pressure air flow generator 104 generates a high pressure air flow. The ejection hole 105 is disposed in the vicinity of the hand insertion port 101, and sends the high-pressure air flow generated from the high-pressure air flow generator 104 toward the hand drying chamber 103. The sensor 106 detects the insertion state of the user's hand 102.
手乾燥室１０３に手１０２が挿入されると、センサ１０６が手１０２の挿入状態を検出し、高圧空気流発生装置１０４が運転される。そして吸込口１０７より吸引した空気１０８が、図５に示す高圧空気流発生装置１０４を通過し、高速噴流となり噴出孔１０５より手１０２に向って送出され、手洗い後の濡れた手１０２が乾燥される。
When the hand 102 is inserted into the hand drying chamber 103, the sensor 106 detects the insertion state of the hand 102, and the high-pressure airflow generator 104 is operated. Then, the air 108 sucked from the suction port 107 passes through the high-pressure air flow generator 104 shown in FIG. 5, becomes a high-speed jet and is sent out from the ejection hole 105 toward the hand 102, and the wet hand 102 after hand washing is dried. The
図６に示すように、手挿入口１０１近傍の本体１０９の天面側平面部１１０に、使用手順を示した複数の案内表示図１１１が配置されている。そして、それぞれの案内表示図１１１が高圧空気流発生装置１０４の運転時間に応じて順番に点灯する。その結果、案内表示図１１１の記載内容が使用者に順番に目視確認され、使用手順が喚起される。
As shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of guidance display diagrams 111 showing the usage procedure are arranged on the top surface side flat portion 110 of the main body 109 near the hand insertion port 101. And each guidance display figure 111 lights in order according to the operation time of the high pressure airflow generator 104. FIG. As a result, the contents described in the guidance display diagram 111 are visually confirmed by the user in turn, and the usage procedure is urged.
また手乾燥装置においては、手１０２が挿入されたとき、使用者が閉塞感を感じないように大きな手乾燥室１０３が求められている。従来の手乾燥装置では、本体１０９の大きさが変わらず手乾燥室１０３が広くされる場合、本体１０９の天面側平面部１１０の面積が狭くなっていた。そのため案内表示図１１１が小さくなり、使用者に手１０２の差し入れ、抜き出し等の使用手順の喚起が充分にできなかった。その結果、手１０２の乾燥が完了した後も必要以上に手乾燥装置の運転が続けられる場合があり、不要な消費電力が発生するという課題があった。
Also, in the hand drying device, a large hand drying chamber 103 is required so that the user does not feel a blockage when the hand 102 is inserted. In the conventional hand drying apparatus, when the hand drying chamber 103 is enlarged without changing the size of the main body 109, the area of the top surface side plane portion 110 of the main body 109 is narrowed. For this reason, the guidance display diagram 111 is reduced, and the user cannot be fully urged to use procedures such as inserting and removing the hand 102. As a result, there is a problem that the operation of the hand drying device may be continued more than necessary even after the drying of the hand 102 is completed, and unnecessary power consumption occurs.
本発明の手乾燥装置は、高圧空気流を発生する高圧空気流発生装置と、高圧空気流により手を乾燥させる手乾燥室と、手乾燥室内を照らす照明灯とを備えている。手乾燥室は、天面に手挿入口を開口し、手挿入口に高圧空気流を吹き出す噴出孔と、手乾燥室への手の挿入状態を検出するセンサとを設けている。そしてセンサが手の挿入を検出した時、高圧空気流発生装置が運転を開始する。また高圧空気流発生装置の運転開始時、照明灯が点灯される。そして高圧空気流発生装置の運転が所定時間経過したときに、照明灯が点滅する。
The hand drying device of the present invention includes a high pressure air flow generating device that generates a high pressure air flow, a hand drying chamber that dries hands with the high pressure air flow, and an illumination lamp that illuminates the hand drying chamber. The hand drying chamber has a hand insertion port on the top surface, an ejection hole that blows a high-pressure air flow to the hand insertion port, and a sensor that detects the insertion state of the hand into the hand drying chamber. When the sensor detects the insertion of the hand, the high pressure air flow generator starts operation. In addition, the illumination lamp is turned on when the operation of the high-pressure airflow generator is started. Then, when the operation of the high-pressure airflow generator has elapsed for a predetermined time, the illumination lamp blinks.
高圧空気流発生装置が所定時間経過したとき照明灯が点滅するため、手を抜き出すよう喚起できる。そのため手の乾燥の完了後、必要以上の手乾燥装置の運転がなくなり、不要な消費電力も発生しない。
When the high-pressure airflow generator has lapsed for a predetermined time, the illumination light will blink, so you can call out to remove your hand. Therefore, after the drying of the hand is completed, the operation of the hand dryer more than necessary is eliminated, and unnecessary power consumption is not generated.
以下、本発明の実施の形態について図面を参照しながら説明する。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side sectional view of a hand dryer according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the hand drying device includes ahand drying chamber 3 and a high-pressure airflow generator 4. Here, in the hand drying chamber 3, the hand 2 is inserted into or extracted from the hand insertion port 1 that opens outward from the top surface 3 a. The high pressure air flow generator 4 generates a high pressure air flow 4a of 0.5 kPa or more and 15 kPa or less. In the hand drying chamber 3, the hand 2 is dried by the high-pressure air flow 4a. In the vicinity of the hand insertion port 1, an ejection hole 5 for blowing the high-pressure air flow 4 a toward the hand insertion port 1 in the hand drying chamber 3 and the insertion state of the hand 2 into the hand drying chamber 3 of the user 12 are detected. A sensor 6 is provided. The sensor 6 is installed closer to the hand insertion port 1 than the ejection hole 5.
図１は、本発明の実施の形態の手乾燥装置の側面断面図である。図１に示すように手乾燥装置は、手乾燥室３と、高圧空気流発生装置４とを備えている。ここで手乾燥室３では、天面３ａに外部に向かって開口した手挿入口１から手２が差し入れられたり、抜き出されたりする。高圧空気流発生装置４は、０．５ｋＰａ以上１５ｋＰａ以下の高圧空気流４ａを発生する。そして手乾燥室３では、高圧空気流４ａにより手２が乾燥される。手挿入口１近傍には、高圧空気流４ａを手乾燥室３内の手挿入口１に向けて吹き出す噴出孔５と、使用者１２の手乾燥室３への手２の挿入状態を検出するセンサ６とが備えられている。センサ６は、噴出孔５よりも手挿入口１側に設置されている。 (Embodiment)

手洗い後の濡れた手２が手乾燥室３に挿入されると、センサ６により手２の挿入が検出された時、高圧空気流発生装置４が運転される。そして吸込口７より吸引された吸込空気８が、フィルター９、吸込風路１０を介して手乾燥装置の内部に流入する。吸込空気８は、高圧空気流発生装置４によって昇圧され、高圧空気流４ａとなり噴出孔５より手２に向って送出され、手２が乾燥される。手乾燥室３から手２が抜き出され、センサ６が手２を検出しなくなると高圧空気流発生装置４の運転が止まる。
When the wet hand 2 after hand washing is inserted into the hand drying chamber 3, when the insertion of the hand 2 is detected by the sensor 6, the high-pressure airflow generator 4 is operated. Then, the suction air 8 sucked from the suction port 7 flows into the inside of the hand dryer through the filter 9 and the suction air passage 10. The intake air 8 is pressurized by the high-pressure air flow generator 4 to become a high-pressure air flow 4a and is sent out from the ejection hole 5 toward the hand 2, and the hand 2 is dried. When the hand 2 is extracted from the hand drying chamber 3 and the sensor 6 no longer detects the hand 2, the operation of the high-pressure airflow generator 4 is stopped.
この手乾燥装置は、洗面所１１の壁面１１ａなどに取り付けられる。手乾燥装置の正面１１ｂに向かい合って使用者１２が立って、手挿入口１から下方に向かって手２が挿入される。ここで無理のない自然な作業姿勢から、手２が手挿入口１から挿入されると、手の平側１３が手前の正面１１ｂ側になって挿入される場合が多い。手乾燥室３内の手前側内壁面１４ａには、手乾燥室３内を照らす照射範囲１６の照明灯１５が備えられている。ここで照明灯１５は、手乾燥室３内の奥側内壁面１４ｂに向けて光を照射して奥側内壁面１４ｂ全体を照らす。高圧空気流発生装置４、照明灯１５は制御基板１７と接続されている。制御基板１７は、センサ６による手２の挿入の検出により高圧空気流発生装置４、および照明灯１５の動作を制御する．
図２は、本発明の実施の形態の手乾燥装置の動作をあらわすタイムチャートを示す図である。図２は高圧空気流発生装置４、センサ６、照明灯１５の動作をあらわすタイムチャートである。高圧空気流発生装置４の運転開始時、照明灯１５が点灯される。高圧空気流発生装置４の運転時間が所定時間経過した後に、照明灯１５が点滅する。所定時間とは、２秒～１０秒程度の時間であり、高圧空気流発生装置４の性能などから予め設定する値である。そして、図１に示す手２が手乾燥室３に挿入されてからの高圧空気流発生装置４の運転時間が長くなるにしたがって照明灯１５の点滅の間隔が徐々に短くなり、目安の最長乾燥時間になると消灯する。このように照明灯１５は照明灯１５の点滅後、消灯する。また手２が手乾燥室３から抜き出され、高圧空気流発生装置４の運転が止まった後、照明灯１５は再点灯する。なお、照明灯１５が消灯する前に手２が手乾燥室３から抜き出された場合、高圧空気流発生装置４の運転が止まり、照明灯１５は点灯したままである。 This hand dryer is attached to thewall surface 11a of the washroom 11 or the like. The user 12 stands facing the front surface 11b of the hand dryer, and the hand 2 is inserted downward from the hand insertion port 1. Here, when the hand 2 is inserted from the hand insertion port 1 from a natural working posture without difficulty, the palm side 13 is often inserted with the front side 11b in front. The front inner wall surface 14 a in the hand drying chamber 3 is provided with an illumination lamp 15 having an irradiation range 16 that illuminates the inside of the hand drying chamber 3. Here, the illumination lamp 15 irradiates light toward the inner wall surface 14b in the hand drying chamber 3 to illuminate the entire inner wall surface 14b. The high-pressure airflow generator 4 and the illumination lamp 15 are connected to the control board 17. The control board 17 controls the operation of the high-pressure airflow generator 4 and the illumination lamp 15 by detecting the insertion of the hand 2 by the sensor 6.
FIG. 2 is a time chart showing the operation of the hand dryer according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a time chart showing the operations of the high-pressure airflow generator 4, thesensor 6, and the illumination lamp 15. When the operation of the high-pressure airflow generator 4 starts, the illumination lamp 15 is turned on. After the operation time of the high-pressure airflow generator 4 has elapsed for a predetermined time, the illumination lamp 15 blinks. The predetermined time is a time of about 2 seconds to 10 seconds, and is a value set in advance based on the performance of the high-pressure airflow generator 4. Then, as the operating time of the high-pressure airflow generator 4 after the hand 2 shown in FIG. Turns off when time is up. Thus, the illumination lamp 15 is turned off after the illumination lamp 15 blinks. Moreover, after the hand 2 is extracted from the hand drying chamber 3 and the operation of the high-pressure airflow generator 4 is stopped, the illumination lamp 15 is turned on again. In addition, when the hand 2 is extracted from the hand drying chamber 3 before the illuminating lamp 15 is turned off, the operation of the high-pressure airflow generator 4 is stopped and the illuminating lamp 15 remains lit.

At the start of operation of the high-pressure airflow generator 4, the illumination lamp 15 is in a lighting state. Therefore, even if the interior of the hand drying chamber 3 is likely to be dark due to the shadow of the user 12, the interior of the hand drying chamber 3 is brightly illuminated by the illumination lamp 15. As a result, the hand drying chamber 3 is felt open, and there is no anxiety that the hand 2 touches the front inner wall surface 14a or the rear inner wall surface 14b of the hand drying chamber 3, so that the user 12 can easily insert the hand 2. Can be aroused. Then, after the operation time of the high-pressure airflow generator 4 has elapsed for a predetermined time (2 to 10 seconds), the illumination lamp 15 starts blinking and the hand drying chamber 3 becomes dark. As a result, the hand drying chamber 3 can be felt closed, and the user 12 can be urged to pull out the hand 2 from the anxiety that the hand 2 touches the front inner wall surface 14a or the rear inner wall surface 14b of the hand drying chamber 3. .
また、高圧空気流発生装置４の運転時間が長くなるにしたがって照明灯１５の点滅の間隔が徐々に短くなる。その結果、手２の乾燥度合い、すなわち乾燥時間に比例して、照明灯１５の消灯時間が長くなる。それにより手乾燥室３が閉鎖的に感じられるとともに、手乾燥室３の手前側内壁面１４ａまたは奥側内壁面１４ｂに手２が触れる不安感から、使用者１２が手２を抜き出すよう喚起できる。
Also, as the operating time of the high-pressure airflow generator 4 becomes longer, the blinking interval of the illuminating lamp 15 becomes gradually shorter. As a result, the turn-off time of the illumination lamp 15 becomes longer in proportion to the degree of drying of the hand 2, that is, the drying time. As a result, the hand drying chamber 3 can be felt closed, and the user 12 can be urged to pull out the hand 2 from the anxiety that the hand 2 touches the front inner wall surface 14a or the rear inner wall surface 14b of the hand drying chamber 3. .
また、目安の最長乾燥時間になると照明灯１５が消灯される。それにより手乾燥室３が閉鎖的に感じられるとともに、手乾燥室３の内壁面に手２が触れる不安感から、使用者１２が手２を抜き出すよう喚起できる。
Also, the illumination lamp 15 is turned off when the estimated maximum drying time is reached. As a result, the hand drying chamber 3 can be felt closed, and the user 12 can be urged to pull out the hand 2 from the anxiety that the hand 2 touches the inner wall surface of the hand drying chamber 3.
なお、照明灯１５は、手前側内壁面１４ａに配置さている。すなわち照明灯１５が、使用者１２の視野方向１８の奥側内壁面１４ｂ全体を照らし、手乾燥室３内の明るさを使用者１２が確認しやすくなる。
In addition, the illumination lamp 15 is arrange | positioned at the near side inner wall surface 14a. That is, the illuminating lamp 15 illuminates the entire inner wall surface 14b in the visual field direction 18 of the user 12, and the user 12 can easily confirm the brightness in the hand drying chamber 3.
このように本発明の実施の形態の手乾燥装置によれば、手乾燥装置の本体の大きさが一定のまま、手乾燥室３が広くされる場合でも、手乾燥室３への手２の差し入れ、引き出し作業が喚起される。その結果、本発明の実施の形態の手乾燥装置では手２の乾燥後の必要以上の運転が抑えられ、低消費電力化できる。
Thus, according to the hand drying device of the embodiment of the present invention, even when the hand drying chamber 3 is widened while the size of the body of the hand drying device is constant, the hand 2 to the hand drying chamber 3 Insertion and withdrawal work is aroused. As a result, in the hand drying apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, unnecessary operation after the hand 2 is dried can be suppressed, and the power consumption can be reduced.
図３は、本発明の実施の形態の手乾燥装置の異なる動作をあらわすタイムチャートを示す図である。図３に示すように照明灯１５は点滅後、一旦消灯する。そして照明灯１５は、消灯後に高圧空気流発生装置４の運転開始時より小さな照度にて点灯される。そしてセンサ６が一定時間（１分～３０分）手２の挿入を未検出のとき、照明灯１５が消灯されてもよい。
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a time chart showing different operations of the hand dryer according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the illumination lamp 15 is temporarily turned off after blinking. The illuminating lamp 15 is turned on with a lower illuminance than when the high-pressure airflow generator 4 is started after being turned off. The illumination lamp 15 may be turned off when the sensor 6 has not detected insertion of the hand 2 for a certain period of time (1 to 30 minutes).
照明灯１５が点灯されていれば、使用者１２はためらうことなく手乾燥室３に手２を挿入できる。従って手乾燥装置の使用後、一定時間以内であれば使用者１２が手乾燥室３に手２を挿入する時、照明灯１５が点灯されているので使い勝手のよい手乾燥装置になる。なお一定時間、手２の挿入が未検出のときに消灯する制御に関して、使用者１２が１分～３０分の時間を設定できる。
If the illumination lamp 15 is lit, the user 12 can insert the hand 2 into the hand drying chamber 3 without hesitation. Therefore, if the user 12 inserts the hand 2 into the hand drying chamber 3 within a certain time after using the hand drying apparatus, the illumination lamp 15 is turned on, so that the hand drying apparatus is easy to use. It should be noted that the user 12 can set a time of 1 to 30 minutes with respect to the control to turn off when the insertion of the hand 2 is not detected for a certain time.
