Abstract:
Disclosed is a hand dryer that dries hands after washing by blowing airflow. In order to provide a hand dryer that can prevent leakage of high-pressure air and scattering of water drops and shorten drying time, despite having a compact size, a hand dryer (1) is provided with discharge nozzles respectively above and below a hand insertion area (10), an upper exhaust duct (5), which connects from a high-pressure air generator (2) to the upper discharge nozzle (N1), a lower exhaust duct (6), which connects from the high-pressure air generator to the lower discharge nozzle (N2), and as air intake ports a first air intake port (18), which draws atmospheric air from the outside of the device, and a second air intake port (11), which draws in air inside the hand insertion area (10), wherein an air intake duct (3) is equipped with an air intake path (13) that connects the first air intake port (18) and the second air intake port (11), and a switching damper (17) is disposed in said air intake path, and said switching damper (17) switches to connect one or the other of the first air intake port (18) or second air intake port (11) to the aforementioned air intake duct (3).
