AI Technical Summary
⚠Technical Problem
The filter in existing dryers is prone to clogging, leading to a decrease in drying performance due to air flow obstruction if not regularly cleaned.
⚗Method used
A dryer design featuring a collection device with dual swirling sections and mesh members, where the swirling sections generate opposing swirling flows that direct air through cylindrical mesh sections, reducing clogging and pressure loss.
🎯Benefits of technology
This configuration effectively suppresses the adhesion of foreign matter on mesh surfaces, maintaining airflow and preventing a decrease in drying performance.

Abstract
This allows us to provide a dryer that suppresses the deterioration of drying performance. [Solution] The dryer according to the present disclosure comprises a housing, a storage tank for storing an object, a blower for blowing air into the storage tank, a collection device for collecting foreign matter from the air that has passed through the storage tank, and an air passage connecting the blower, the storage tank, and the collection device. The collection device has an inlet extending from an air intake port communicating with the storage tank, a swirling section having an opening communicating with the inlet and generating a swirling flow from the incoming air, and a first mesh section and a second mesh section provided downstream of the swirling section and each having a cylindrical shape. The first mesh section and the second mesh section are arranged so that their circumferential surfaces are adjacent to each other, and each has a mesh on at least the portion of its adjacent circumferential surface, and the direction of rotation of the swirling flow in the first mesh section is different from the direction of rotation of the swirling flow in the second mesh section.
