[0002] A hand dryer is a common sanitary device, usually installed in the restrooms of public places such as shopping malls, office buildings, airports, railway stations, etc. There are some disadvantages in the existing hand dryers. First of all, in the sanitary environment, water is likely to splash into the interior of the hand dryer. At the same time, sundries, fibers, etc. in the environment may enter the air inlet channel, causing blockage, affecting normal air intake, and then reducing the working effect of the hand dryer. Moreover, the hand dryer makes a relatively loud noise, which extremely affects the use experience. Secondly, most of them rely on relatively high-temperature air to take away the water on the hands, and the heating power is relatively low, only a few hundred watts. Its heating function is only to maintain comfort. This way of drying hands is relatively slow, and at the same time, the air outlet temperature is not balanced. The air outlet temperature of some hand dryers is uneven, resulting in uneven heating of the hands and poor use experience. To solve the above problems, we have proposed a hand dryer.

The upper end of the support frame 15 penetrates through the air inlet 13 and extends to the outer side of the upper part of the shell 1. A filter net 14 is arranged on the outer surface of the support frame 15. The filter net 14 is located at the overlapping part of the dust-proof cover 11 and the support frame 15. A fan 16 is arranged below the filter net 14 inside the support frame 15. A heating component is arranged below the fan 16 inside the shell 1.

[0022] In this embodiment, the dust-proof cover 11 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the air inlet 13. A fixing part 18 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the shell 1. A bottom plate 17 is arranged at the bottom end of the shell 1.

[0023] Specifically, the hand dryer is fixed through the fixing part 18, so as to keep the machine stable during use. The dust-proof cover 11 is threadedly connected to the shell 1, so that the dust-proof cover 11 can be conveniently replaced and cleaned.

[0024] In this embodiment, the heating component includes a heating chamber 32 at the lower end inside the support frame 15. A reinforcing rod 23 is arranged below the inner top end of the heating chamber 32 near the fan 16. A wind distribution fixing frame 24 is arranged at the lower end of the reinforcing rod 23. The upper and lower ends of the wind distribution fixing frame 24 protrude outwards. The protruding parts of the wind distribution fixing frame 24 are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the heating chamber 32. The wind distribution fixing frame 24 is in a cross shape.

[0025] Specifically, the heat is concentrated by the heating chamber 32, the air distribution fixing frame 24 is fixed by the reinforcing rod 23, and the air blown by the blower 16 can be shunted through the cross-shaped air distribution fixing frame 24, so that the air outlet is balanced and the comfort of the hand is maintained.

[0026] In this embodiment, a heating wire 25 is arranged outside the air distribution fixing frame 24. The heating wire 25 is located between the protruding parts at the upper and lower ends of the air distribution fixing frame 24. A heat conducting plate 26 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the air distribution fixing frame 24. A plurality of groups of ventilation slots 31 are formed through the heat conducting plate 26. Both the heating wire 25 and the heat conducting plate 26 are located inside the heating chamber 32.

[0027] Specifically, after the heating wire 25 is energized and operates externally, it heats the air blown by the blower 16. Through multiple heating, the heat is sufficient and will not hurt the hand. Through the plurality of groups of ventilation slots 31 opened at the bottom end of the heat conducting plate 26, the hot air heats the hand more evenly, improving the use experience.

[0028] In this embodiment, a fixing cover 27 is fixedly connected to the outside of the heat conducting plate 26. The fixing cover 27 is embedded in the inner surface of the bottom plate 17. The upper surface of the fixing cover 27 is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the heating chamber 32. Two groups of air guiding plates 28 are arranged inside the fixing cover 27. The air guiding plates 28 are located below the heat conducting plate 26. An air outlet 29 is opened at the bottom end of the fixing cover 27. The cross section of the air guiding plate 28 is a trapezoid with an inclined surface facing downwards. The inclined surface of the air guiding plate 28 faces downwards and the bottom is located above the air outlet 29.

[0029] Specifically, since the cross sections of the two groups of air guiding plates 28 are trapezoids with inclined surfaces facing downwards and are located above the air outlet 29, the hot air is gathered and discharged from the air outlet 29, so that the hands can be dried quickly and the efficiency is improved.

[0030] In this embodiment, a switch 19 is arranged at the bottom end of the bottom plate 17. A photoelectric sensor 2 is arranged on one side of the bottom end of the bottom plate 17 close to the air outlet 29. A control box 22 is arranged on the inner side wall of the housing 1. A controller 3 is arranged inside the control box 22.

[0031] Specifically, when the photoelectric sensor 2 senses a hand, a signal is sent to the controller 3 through electrical connection.

[0032] In this embodiment, the controller 3 is electrically connected to the blower 16, the switch 19, the photoelectric sensor 2, and the heating wire 25 respectively.

[0033] Specifically, when the controller 3 receives the signal, the blower 16 starts to operate, and at the same time the heating wire 25 starts to heat.

[0034] It should be noted that the present utility model is a hand dryer. The user controls the operation of the hand dryer through switch 19. When the user places the hand under the hand dryer and the photoelectric sensor 2 senses the hand, a signal is sent to the controller 3 through electrical connection. When the controller 3 receives the signal, the fan 16 starts to operate, and at the same time drives the heating wire 25 to start heating. The dust-proof cover 11 is threadedly connected to the housing 1, so that the dust-proof cover 11 can be replaced and cleaned. Through a number of intake holes 12 provided on the side wall of the dust-proof cover 11, the surrounding air enters the hand dryer, and at the same time prevents water from splashing into the interior of the hand dryer, thereby preventing damage to the machine and reducing the noise generated by the hand dryer, improving the user experience. The filter screen 14 further isolates sundries, fibers, etc. in the environment, thereby improving the working effect of the hand dryer. The hand dryer is fixed by the fixing member 18, so that the machine remains stable during use. The heating wire 25 starts to heat, and the heat is gathered by the heating chamber 32. The air distribution fixing frame 24 is fixed by the reinforcing rod 23. The air blown out by the fan 16 is distributed through the air distribution fixing frame 24, so that the air outlet is balanced and the comfort of the hand is maintained. Through the operation of the heating wire 25, the air blown out by the fan 16 is heated. Through multiple heating, the heat is sufficient and does not hurt the hand. Through a number of ventilation grooves 31 provided at the bottom end of the heat conduction plate 26, the hot air heats the hand more evenly, improving the user experience. The cross-sections of the two guide vanes 28 are trapezoids with inclined surfaces facing downwards and are located above the air outlet 29, so as to gather the hot air and discharge it from the air outlet 29, so that the hands can be dried quickly and the efficiency is improved.
