Dryer

Abstract

We can provide a dryer equipped with a collection device that offers improved convenience. [Solution] The dryer according to the present disclosure comprises a housing, a storage tank provided inside the housing, 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, an air passage connecting the blower, the storage tank, and the collection device, wherein the collection device has an inlet extending from an air intake port communicating with the storage tank, an upstream swirling section communicating with the inlet and swirling the incoming air while sending it in a first direction, a mesh section provided downstream of the upstream swirling section and having a cylindrical shape extending around the first direction, an air passage surrounding the mesh section, a downstream swirling section provided at a position aligned with the mesh section in the first direction and having a circumferential surface extending around the first direction, an end face that closes the end of the circumferential surface of the downstream swirling section, and a recovery section communicating with an outlet provided on the circumferential surface.

Claims

[Claim 1] The casing and A storage tank provided inside the housing, A blower for blowing air into the aforementioned storage tank, A collection device for collecting foreign matter from the air that has passed through the aforementioned containment tank, The system comprises the aforementioned blower, the aforementioned storage tank, and the aforementioned collection device, and an air passage connecting them. The aforementioned collection device, An inlet extending from an air intake port communicating with the aforementioned storage tank, An upstream swirling section that communicates with the aforementioned inlet section and swirls the incoming air while sending it in a first direction, A mesh portion having a cylindrical shape that is provided downstream of the upstream rotating portion and extends around the first direction, The air passage surrounding the aforementioned mesh section, A downstream rotating portion is provided at a position aligned with the mesh portion in the first direction and has a circumferential surface extending around the first direction, The end face that closes the end of the circumferential surface of the downstream swivel section, A recovery section that communicates with the discharge port provided on the circumferential surface, A dryer that has a dryer. [Claim 2] The dryer according to claim 1, wherein the circumferential surface of the downstream swirling section has a first circumferential surface on which the discharge port is provided, and a second circumferential surface that is aligned with the first circumferential surface in the first direction and closed in the circumferential direction. [Claim 3] The dryer according to claim 2, wherein the discharge port is partially provided in the circumferential direction on the first circumferential surface. [Claim 4] The dryer according to claim 2, wherein the end face closes the end of the second circumferential surface that is separated from the first circumferential surface. [Claim 5] The dryer according to claim 2, wherein the dimension of the second circumferential surface along the first direction is smaller than the dimension of the discharge port along the first direction. [Claim 6] The dryer according to claim 4, wherein the radial dimension of the second circumferential surface is greater than the radial dimension of the mesh portion. [Claim 7] The dryer according to claim 6, wherein the radial dimension of the first circumferential surface increases toward the end face. [Claim 8] The dryer according to claim 7, wherein, when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the first direction, the first circumferential surface has an inclined surface that expands toward the end face. [Claim 9] The collection device is located above the containment tank, The dryer according to claim 1, wherein the discharge port is located in the upper half of the circumferential surface of the downstream swirling section. [Claim 10] The dryer according to any one of claims 1 to 9, wherein the recovery unit is removable from the downstream swivel unit.
