[0038] Example 1

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The hand dryer includes a body 1 and an air outlet 13 located below the body 1. The air outlet 13 is strip-shaped and there are two outlets. The two outlets 13 are symmetrically distributed below the body 1 about the vertical axis of the body 1. The air outlet 13 includes a first end point 15 and a second end point 16 located at both ends. The two first end points 15 are located at the ends of the air outlet 13 that are close to each other, and the curvature angle of the air outlet 13 changes continuously from the first end point 15 to the second end point 16.

[0040] The main body 1 is a vertically placed cuboid structure, and the back side 11 is formed through the height and width directions of the main body 1. The bottom surface of the main body 1 includes two indicator surfaces 12 symmetrically distributed about the vertical axis of the main body 1. The indicator surfaces 12 are arc surfaces along the width direction of the main body 1, and an air outlet 13 is correspondingly opened on one indicator surface 12.

[0041] The indicator surface 12 is inclined upward along the height direction of the body 1 and also inclined along the thickness direction of the body 1, making it easier to tilt the hand when drying and to observe the position of the air outlet 13, so that the water on the hand can be dropped as soon as possible, thereby improving the drying effect.

[0042] The two indicator surfaces 12 are connected to form an outwardly protruding protrusion 14. The indicator surfaces 12 are inclined upward along the height direction of the body 1. The two indicator surfaces 12 are close to each other at one end and located below the other end. At the same time, the air outlet 13 can also be provided with multiple outlets at intervals along the thickness direction of the body 1.

[0051] The first end point 15 and the second end point 16 of the air outlet 13 are at the same height, and the air outlet 13 from the first end point 15 to the second end point 16 is an arc shape that is concave inward towards the body 1.

[0052] Example 4

[0053] Reference Figure 6 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the air outlet 13 from the first end point 15 to the second end point 16 is an arc shape that is concave inward towards the body 1 and protrudes relative to the back 11, which makes it easier for the user to observe the position of the air outlet 13, reduces the probability of hand injury from sharp corners, and improves the convenience of using the hand dryer.

[0054] Example 5

[0055] Reference Figure 7 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that, except for the air outlet 13 of the first endpoint 15 and the second endpoint 16, the other parts are located below the line connecting the first endpoint 15 and the second endpoint 16.

[0056] The indicator surface 12 is convex and inclined or arc-shaped along the width direction of the body 1 away from the body 1. The connection between the two indicator surfaces 12 forms an inwardly recessed part 5. The air outlet 13 is arranged along the surface of the indicator surface 12.
