The invention relates to drying apparatus which makes use of a narrow jet of high velocity, high pressure air to dry an object, including part of the human body. Particularly, but not exclusively, the invention relates to a hand dryer in which the air jet is emitted through a slot-like opening in the casing of the hand dryer.
The use of air jets to dry hands is well known. Examples of hand dryers which emit at least one air jet through a slot-like opening are shown in GB 2249026A, JP 2002-034835A and JP 2002306370A. However, in practice it is very difficult to achieve an evenly distributed airflow of sufficiently high momentum to dry the user's hands efficiently in an acceptably short length of time. Furthermore, the amount of noise emitted by a motor suitable for generating an airflow of sufficiently high momentum adequately to dry the user's hands can be unacceptably high.
It is an object of the invention to provide drying apparatus in which an airflow of sufficient momentum efficiently to dry the user's hands is produced and in which the noise emitted by the motor is improved in comparison to prior art devices. It is a further object of the present invention to provide drying apparatus in which the noise emitted by the apparatus is comparatively low.
A first aspect of the invention provides drying apparatus having a casing, a cavity formed in the casing for receiving an object, a fan located in the casing and capable of creating an airflow, a motor provided in the casing for driving the fan and ducting for carrying the airflow from the fan to at least one opening arranged to emit the airflow into the cavity, wherein the ducting comprises at least one air duct in which at least one vane is located, the or each vane extending in the direction of airflow and dividing the air duct into a plurality of airflow portions.
Preferably, the or each vane is positioned in the air duct such that the distance between the said vane and any adjacent wall of the air duct or further vane is no more than a predetermined value. This predetermined value is determined in such a way that it is no greater than the half-wavelength of the noise emitted by the motor. In this way, standing waves are prevented form building up in the air duct but plane waves are allowed to pass along the air duct. This reduces the noise emitted by the machine overall and so enhances the comfort with which the user is able to use the drying apparatus.
The predetermined value is therefore calculated as a function of both the operating speed of the motor and the speed of sound in the airflow passing along the air duct. Motor speeds vary from product to product and the speed of sound in the airflow will depend upon the expected operating temperature of the apparatus. However, an optimum predetermined value can be calculated. The formula to be used is thus:
If the normal operating temperature of the apparatus is approximately 55° C., this can be simplified to:
In a preferred embodiment, the operating speed of the motor is substantially 90,000 rpm which puts the predetermined value at 120 mm, although the preferred range of predetermined values is between 100 mm and 150 mm. In the embodiment, the distance between any point on the or each vane and the wall of the air duct or adjacent vane (measured in a direction perpendicular to the airflow) is sufficiently small to prevent standing waves being able to build up. The noise of the hand dryer is thus improved in comparison to the noise which would have been emitted absent the vanes.
It is preferred that more than one vane is arranged in the or each air duct and that the vanes are arranged in rows, more preferably rows which overlap one another. If the breadth of each air duct increases in the direction of the airflow, each successive row of vanes has a higher number of vanes than the previous row.
The provision of the vanes in the air ducts assists in strengthening the structure of the air ducts and their direction helps to maintain the direction of airflow within the ducts, particularly as the duct becomes broader.
An embodiment of the invention in the form of a hand dryer will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Referring firstly to
The cavity 30 has a front wall 34 and a rear wall 36 which delimit the cavity 30 to the front and rear respectively. Located in the lowermost end of the cavity 30 is a drain 38 which communicates with a reservoir (not shown) located in the lower part of the casing 12. The purpose of the drain and reservoir will be described below.
As shown in
The air ducts 50, 52 are arranged to conduct air from the fan 40 to a pair of opposed slot-like openings 60, 62 which are located in the front and rear walls 34, 36 respectively of the cavity 30. The slot-like openings 60, 62 are arranged at the upper end of the cavity 30 in the vicinity of the cavity entrance 32. The slot-like openings 60, 62 are each configured so as to direct an airflow generally across the cavity entrance 32 towards the opposite wall of the cavity 30. The slot-like openings 60, 62 are offset in the vertical direction and angled towards the lowermost end of the cavity 30.
Each pair of walls 54a, 54b, 56a, 56b is arranged so that the respective walls approach one another as they approach the respective slot-like opening 60, 62. If an imaginary axis 70 is considered to lie midway between each pair of walls, as is shown in
Sensors 64 are positioned in the front and rear walls 34, 36 of the cavity 30 immediately below the slot-like openings 60, 62. These sensors 64 detect the presence of a user's hands which are inserted into the cavity 30 via the cavity entrance 32 and are arranged to send a signal to the motor when a user's hands are introduced to the cavity 30. As can be seen from
As can be seen from
The air ducts 50, 52 form part of the ducting 90 which lies between the fan 40 and the slot-like openings 60, 62. A perspective view of the ducting 90 is shown in
The ducting 90 is designed so that the cross-sectional area of the ducting 90 gradually transforms from the generally square (or circular) shape of the chamber 94 to the slot-like shape of the openings in a smooth and gradual manner. Immediately downstream of the chamber 94, the ducting divides into the air ducts 50, 52, at the upstream end of which the cross-sectional area is still generally square in shape—ie, the breadth and depth of the cross-section are substantially similar. However, the cross-section changes gradually with distance from the chamber 94 so that the breadth of each duct 50, 52 increases as the depth reduces. All of the changes are smooth and gradual to minimise any frictional losses.
At a point 98 immediately upstream of each of the slot-like openings 60, 62, the cross-sectional area of each of the air ducts 60, 62 begins to decrease so as to cause the velocity of the airflow travelling towards the slot-like openings 60, 62 to increase dramatically. However, between the chamber 94 and the point 98 in each air duct 50, 52, the total cross-sectional area of the ducting (ie. the combined cross-sectional area of the air ducts 50 and 52) remains substantially constant.
Inside the air duct 50, three vanes 100 are provided. The vanes 100 have an elongate shape and lie so as to extend in the direction of the airflow passing along the air duct 50. To this end, the single upstream vane 100a is positioned so as to lie along the central axis of the duct 50 but the downstream vanes 100b are inclined slightly towards the side walls of the duct 50 so as to follow the steamlines of the airflow passing along the duct 50. Each vane 100 has an upstream edge 102 and a downstream edge 104, and each edge 102, 104 is radiussed so as to minimise any turbulence created in the airflow by virtue of their presence.
The position of the vanes 100a, 100b within the duct 50 is determined so that the distance between any one vane 100a, 100b and either the wall of the air duct 50 or an adjacent vane 100b is no more than half of the wavelength of the noise emitted by the motor. This is determined according to the operating speed of the motor and the velocity of sound within the airflow travelling along the air duct 50. It will be appreciated that this distance can be calculated according to the formula:
It will also be appreciated that the speed of sound in the airflow will vary according to the temperature and pressure of the airflow. To simplify the calculation, it has been found effective to use in this equation the speed of sound in the airflow at the slot-like openings, which is the point at which the temperature is likely to be lowest. Under normal operating conditions of the hand dryer shown in the embodiment, we expect the airflow temperature at the slot-like openings to be approximately 55° C.—at which temperature the speed of sound in air is approximately 360 m/s. The predetermined value can them be calculated using the simplified formula:
In the embodiment, the motor is designed to operate at a speed of approximately 90,000 rpm. The predetermined value is then calculated to be 120 mm. Other speeds of the motor result in the predetermined value being selected to be between 100 mm and 150 mm.
Having calculated the predetermined value, the vanes 100a, 100b are positioned in the air duct 50 so that all relevant distances are no more than this value—and can be considerably less. The distances V1-V4 which are to be no greater than the predetermined value are shown in
As the breadth of the air duct 50 increases, the need to provide larger numbers of vanes also increases. The vanes 100 are thus arranged in rows with a single vane 100a provided in the first, upstream row and two vanes 100b provided in the next row. If the breadth of the air duct 50 had been sufficiently large in the downstream area, or if the predetermined value had been smaller so that only two vanes 100b were insufficient, three vanes 100b could easily have been provided.
The rows of vanes 100 are located so that the upstream edges 102 of the vanes 100b overlap with the downstream edge 104 of the vane 100a. This ensures that no point of the air duct 50 is left unrestricted in terms of the distance between the vanes 100 and the walls of the duct 50.
It will be appreciated that vanes 100 are provided in the air duct 52 in the same manner as those provided in the air duct 50, with the predetermined value being calculated in the same way.
The hand dryer 10 described above operates in the following manner. When a user's hands are first inserted into the cavity 30 through the cavity entrance 32, the sensors 64 detect the presence of the user's hands and send a signal to the motor to drive the fan 40. The fan 40 is thus activated and air is drawn into the hand dryer 10 via the air inlet 44 at a rate of approximately 20 to 40 litres per second and preferably at a rate of least 25 to 27 litres per second, more preferably air is drawn into the hand dryer 10 at a rate of 31 to 35 litres per second. The air passes through the filter 46 and along the fan inlet 42 to the fan 40. The airflow leaving the fan 40 is divided into two separate airflows; one passing along the front air duct 50 to the slot-like opening 60 and the other passing along the rear air duct 52 to the slot-like opening 62.
As the airflow passes along the air ducts 50, 52, it divides into a plurality of airflow portions and flows past the vanes 100 located in each air duct 50, 52. The noise emitted by the motor is attenuated by the fact that the distance between the vanes 100 and the walls of the ducts 50, 52, and between the vanes 100 themselves, is restricted to a value which does not exceed the half-wavelength of the sound waves of the noise.
The airflow is ejected from the slot-like openings 60, 62 in the form of very thin, stratified sheets of high velocity, high pressure air. As the airflows leave the slot-like openings 60, 62, the air pressure is at least 15 kPa and preferably approximately 20 to 23 kPa. Furthermore, the speed of the airflow leaving the slot-like openings 60, 62 is at least 80 m/s and preferably at least 100 or 150 m/s, more preferably approximately 180 m/s. Because the size of the slot-like opening 62 located at the end of the rear duct 52 is greater than the size of the slot-like opening 60 located at the end of the front duct 50, a larger volume of air is emitted from the duct 52 than from the duct 50. This provides a greater mass of air for drying the backs of the user's hands which is advantageous.
The two thin sheets of stratified, high velocity, high pressure air are directed towards the surfaces of the user's hands which, during use, are inserted fully into the cavity 30 and are subsequently withdrawn from the cavity 30 via the cavity entrance 32. As the user's hands pass into and out of the cavity 30, the sheets of air blow any existing water off the user's hands. This is achieved reliably and effectively because of the high momentum of the air leaving the slot-like openings 60, 62 and because the airflow is evenly distributed along the length of each slot-like opening 60, 62.
Each stratified sheet of air is directed towards the wall of the cavity 30 which is remote from the slot-like opening through which the respective sheet of air is emitted. Because the slot-like openings 60, 62 are also inclined towards the lowermost end of the cavity 30, the emitted airflows are directed into the cavity 30. This reduces the risk of turbulent air movement being felt by the user outside the casing, e.g. in the user's face.
It is envisaged that it will take only a small number of “passes” of the hand dryer described above to dry a user's hands to a satisfactory degree. (By “pass”, we mean a single insertion of the hands into the cavity and subsequent removal therefrom at a speed which is not unacceptable to an average user. We envisage that a single pass will have a duration of no more than 3 seconds.) The momentum achieved by the airflows is sufficient to remove the majority of water found on the surface of the user's hands after washing during a single pass.
The water removed by the airflows is collected inside the cavity 30. Each airflow will rapidly lose its momentum once it has passed the user's hands and the water droplets will fall to the lower end of the cavity 30 under the forces of gravity whilst the air exits the cavity 30 either through the cavity entrance 32 or via the open sides of the cavity 30. The water, however, is collected by the drain 38 and passed to a reservoir (not shown) where it is collected for disposal. The reservoir can be emptied manually if desired. Alternatively, the hand dryer 10 can incorporate some form of water dispersal system including, for example, a heater for evaporating the collected water into the atmosphere. The means by which the collected water is dispersed does not form part of the present invention.
In an alternative embodiment, the slot-like openings 60a, 62a can be arranged so that the sheets of air which are emitted therefrom are directed generally along planes which are substantially parallel to one another. This minimises the amount of turbulent flow present inside the cavity 30 whilst the drying apparatus is in use.
The invention is not intended to be limited to the precise detail of the embodiment described above. Modifications and variations to the detail which do not alter the scope of the invention will be apparent to a skilled reader. For example, the shape of the cavity 30 and its entrance 32 may be altered without departing from the essence of the present invention. Also, the operational speed of the motor is not limited to the value given above but can be selected to provide the most suitable flowrate of air within the dryer.
The invention relates to drying apparatus which makes use of a narrow jet of high velocity, high pressure air to dry an object, including part of the human body.
