出し気流は装置前面に排出される。(Prior Art) A conventional hand drying device consists of a blower for sucking in air and blowing it out at high speed, a hand drying chamber inserted into the hand drying chamber for drying hands with the airflow blown out by the blower, and a casing surrounding these. A blower installed above the casing blows the air sucked in from the upper part of the casing to the lower part of the hand-drying chamber, thereby drying the moisture on the washed hands inserted into the hand-drying chamber. Furthermore, since the peripheral wall of the hand drying chamber is plate-shaped, the blown airflow is discharged to the front of the device.

んどであつた。 Furthermore, in most conventional hand drying devices, the peripheral wall forming the hand drying chamber was integrated with the main casing.

（発明が解決しようとする問題点） 上記のように、従来の手乾燥装置は手乾燥室の

必要性があつた。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As mentioned above, in the conventional hand drying device, the periphery of the hand drying chamber is plate-shaped, and the airflow is blown directly below the hand drying chamber, so the bottom surface of the hand drying chamber High-speed air currents and water droplets mixed with soap, water solids, and hand grime that hit the hand are scattered onto the front of the hand-drying chamber, so to prevent this, a spongy material is placed on the bottom of the hand-drying chamber. There was a need to place it in such a way that it could absorb water droplets, etc.

また、手乾燥室を形成している周壁が本体ケー
シングと一体化された物が殆んどなので取外しは
難しく、周囲に飛散した液状物は布などでふき取

そのまま放置すれば老廃物等の堆積により発菌、
発臭源となつてしまう。 In addition, in most cases, the peripheral wall forming the hand drying chamber is integrated with the main body casing, so it is difficult to remove it, and the only cleaning work that can be done is to wipe off the liquid that has been scattered around with a cloth. Liquids that get into the bends in the corners of the room are difficult to remove.
If you leave it as it is, bacteria will develop due to the accumulation of waste products, etc.
It becomes a source of odor.

ら吹出すのを押える事が出来る。(Means and effects for solving the problem) In order to minimize the front blowout caused by the rebound of the high-speed airflow, the present invention aims the blowout nozzle of the high-speed airflow diagonally toward the rear of the hand drying room, and the side surface of the saucer is covered with a perforated plate. A shielding plate was installed at the top of the front of the hand drying room. For this reason, most of the airflow blown diagonally to the rear of the hand-drying room from the blow-off nozzle is discharged from the perforated plate on the side of the tray, and some of the airflow that flows to the top of the hand-drying room hits the shielding plate and is inside the hand-drying room. Since the air is bounced back by the air, it is possible to suppress the airflow from blowing out from the front of the hand drying room.

が最小限におさえられる。(Example) To explain the air flow of the hand drying device according to the present invention, it is composed of a blower 2 equipped with a blower box 4 as shown in FIG. In the hand dryer,
The airflow sucked in through the suction grill 9 on the side of the device and blown out from the discharge port of the blower 2 is decelerated by the buffer box 3 and sucked into the high performance filter 5. The airflow cleaned by the high-performance filter 5 and blown out is collected in one place by the plenum chamber 6 and then sent from the blowing nozzle 10 to the hand drying chamber 11.
It is blown out diagonally backwards. The airflow blown into the hand-drying chamber 11 hits the bottom of the tray, and most of it is discharged from the perforated plate on the side of the tray, and some of the airflow that is bounced back to the top of the hand-drying chamber reaches the plenum chamber 6 on the top of the hand-drying chamber. The air flows toward the front side along the air, hits the shielding plate 12, is bounced downward into the hand drying chamber, circulates around the hand drying chamber, and the airflow blown out to the front of the hand drying chamber is minimized.

It is hung on the main body casing 1 as shown in the figure.

する事ができた。(Effect of the invention) As mentioned above, by directing the blowout nozzle diagonally backward and using perforated plates on both sides, the high-speed blowout airflow is dispersed and discharged from the perforated plates on the sides of the hand drying chamber, resulting in high-speed blowout airflow. We were able to minimize the airflow to the front caused by the splashing of the air. Furthermore, by installing a shielding plate at the top of the front of the hand drying room, we were able to reduce the amount of airflow that bounces off people's faces and chests when they insert their hands.
