[0032] In addition, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that a person skilled in the art can realize it, when the combination of technical solutions appears contradictory or unachievable, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist, nor within the protection scope required by the utility model.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The hand dryer provided by the utility model, including casing 1, be provided with air inlet 2 and air outlet 3 on casing 1, be provided with air pipe 4, control mainboard and drive module 5 in casing 1, one end of air pipe 4 is provided with air inlet 6, the other end of air pipe 4 is provided with air outlet 7, air outlet 7 is provided with air outlet 8, air inlet 2 is communicated with air inlet 6, air outlet 8 is communicated with air outlet 3, fan 9 and heating assembly 10 are provided in air pipe 4, fan 9 is located in one end of air pipe 4, heating assembly 10 is located between fan 9 and air outlet 7, control mainboard is connected with drive module 5 and heating assembly 10, drive module 5 is connected with fan 9, and drive module 5 is located above air inlet 6, fan 9 adopts high-speed direct-current brushless motor drive.

[0034] It can be understood that when the fan 9 is started, the air inlet 6 forms an air flow, that is, the air flow can take away the heat generated on the driving module 5, thereby achieving the effect of heat dissipation of the driving module 5, thereby eliminating the installation of the traditional heat dissipation fins, and the high-speed brushless motor is used for driving, the high-speed brushless motor has high speed and small size, so that the overall device size of the hand dryer is made more compact, and the fan 9 and the heating assembly 10 are installed in the air pipe 4, that is, most of the parts of the hand dryer are installed in the air pipe 4, so that the shell 1 is convenient for modeling.

[0035] It should be explained that since the shell 1 has small size, when the hand dryer is installed on the wall, the shell 1 has small distance protruding outward relative to the wall, if the air in the air outlet 8 blows vertically downward, the user has to approach the wall to dry hands, which easily causes the hands to contact the wall, and the user experience is poor, and the other end of the air pipe 4 of the present application is provided with the air outlet portion 7, which can make the air in the air outlet portion 7 blow outwardly and obliquely, so as to facilitate the user to dry hands, and the user experience is better.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, in the technical scheme of the present application, the driving module 5 is arranged above the air inlet 6, the traditional heat dissipation fins are eliminated, and the high-speed brushless motor is used for driving, so that the overall device size is small and compact, and the device can be installed in a small space, and the user experience is better. The air inlet passes through the driving module 5, the high-speed brushless motor and the heating assembly 10 in sequence, the high-speed cold air is used for heat dissipation of the driving module 5 and the high-speed brushless motor, and the driving module 5 and the high-speed brushless motor are used for preheating the air inlet, thereby reducing the power consumption of the heating assembly 10, and the power of the whole system is greatly reduced, and the power is reduced by about 40% compared with the existing hand dryer.

[0037] Further, the air outlet portion 7 and the air pipe 4 are integrally formed, the manufacturing process is simple, and the air outlet portion 7 and the air pipe 4 are directly connected stably and have good sealing performance.

[0038] Further, the air pipe 4 comprises an upper shell 11 and a lower shell 12, and the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 are clamped or fixed by screws. It can be understood that when the fan 9 and the heating assembly 10 need to be installed, the fan 9 and the heating assembly 10 are only fixed in the lower shell 12, and then the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 are fixed to complete the installation, and the installation process is simple and efficient.

[0039] Further, the air inlet 2 and the air outlet 3 are located at the bottom of the shell 1, which can prevent dirt from easily falling into the air inlet 2 or the air outlet, thereby affecting the normal use of the hand dryer, and the air inlet 2 is provided with a filter, which can filter and disinfect the air to ensure that the air entering from the air inlet 6 is clean and sanitary.

[0040] Further, the included angle between the air outlet 7 and the axis of the air pipe 4 is 30°-45°, preferably, the included angle is 40°, and the angle of the air from the air outlet 7 is optimal, which can be suitable for most people of different heights.

[0041] Further, the air outlet 3 is provided with a cold air sensor and a hot air sensor on both sides, and the cold air sensor and the hot air sensor are connected with the control mainboard. In an embodiment, the cold air sensor and the hot air sensor are arranged on the left side and the right side of the air outlet 3 respectively, when the user enters from the left side of the air outlet 3 to the lower side of the air outlet 3, the cold air sensor detects the hand of the user, at this time, the control mainboard controls the heating assembly 10 not to work, so that the air from the air outlet 3 is cold air, on the contrary, when the hand of the user enters from the right side of the air outlet 3 to the lower side of the air outlet 3, the air from the air outlet 3 is hot air, the present application can control the air outlet 3 to output cold air or hot air according to the user entering from different directions, that is, it can blow cold air or hot air according to the actual needs of the user, and the user has a good experience.

[0042] Further, as shown in the Figure 5 The back of the shell 1 is provided with a groove 13 for placing a plug. It should be noted that when the hand dryer is installed on the wall, the groove 13 can be buckled on the socket on the wall, that is, after the plug of the hand dryer is connected with the socket, the groove 13 is buckled on the socket, which has the effect of hiding the installation of the socket.

[0043] Further, as shown in the Figure 5 One side of the groove 13 is provided with a groove 14 for placing an electric wire. It can be understood that when the space of the socket on the wall is insufficient, a plug needs to be used for wire installation, and the electric wire can be hidden in the groove 14, so that the back of the shell 1 is installed in close contact with the wall surface.

[0044] Further, as shown in the Figure 4As shown, the heating assembly 10 comprises a support 15 and heating wires arranged at the periphery of the support 15. Preferably, the support 15 is formed by a plurality of pieces 16 which are mutually clamped, and the pieces 16 are distributed in the circumferential direction. It should be noted that the pieces 16 are distributed in the circumferential direction and are mutually clamped, so that the size of the support 15 can be made more compact, and the heating wires arranged at the periphery of the support 15 are arranged in a wrinkled manner, so that the contact area of air with the heating wires is larger, thereby achieving a better heating effect.

[0045] In summary, the hand dryer provided by the utility model, the upper shell and the lower shell are clamped or fixed by screws, the installation process is simple and efficient, the filter can filter and disinfect air, ensuring that the air entering from the air inlet is clean and sanitary, the cold sensor and the hot sensor can blow cold air or hot air according to the actual needs of users, the user experience is good, the recess can hide the socket installation effect, and the groove enables the back of the shell to be installed in close contact with the wall.

[0046] The embodiments of the utility model are described above in combination with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned specific embodiments, and the above-mentioned specific embodiments are only illustrative but not restrictive, and the person skilled in the art can make many forms under the inspiration of the utility model without departing from the purpose of the utility model and the scope protected by the claims, and these all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
