Hand dryer with reduced air-intake noise
First Claim
1. A hand dryer with reduced air-intake noise, comprising:
- a housing, including an accommodating space and a plurality of narrow air inlets connecting the accommodating space and an outside of the housing, and the housing defines an air intake surface that faces the accommodating space and on which the plurality of narrow air inlets are provided;
a flow-guide plate disposed inside the accommodating space and assembled, corresponding to the air intake surface with the housing, the flow-guide plate being not in contact with the air intake surface, and the flow-guide plate including a plurality of narrow air guide holes; and
an air supply module disposed inside the accommodating space, comprising a blower that extracts the air inside the accommodating space to generate a drying air flow after being started and an air-guide piece that is connected to the blower to receive the drying air flow and includes an end exposed from the housing; and
wherein the hand dryer includes an air intake path that enables, after the blower is started, the air sequentially flows from the outside of the housing to enter the blower through the plurality of narrow air inlets and the plurality of narrow air guide holes.

Abstract
A hand dryer with reduced air-intake noise includes a housing, a flow-guide plate, and an air supply module. The housing includes an accommodating space and a plurality of narrow air inlets. The flow-guide plate is disposed inside the accommodating space, but the flow-guide plate is not contacted with the housing. The flow-guide plate includes a plurality of narrow air guide holes. The air supply module is disposed inside the accommodating space, and includes a blower that extracts air inside the accommodating space to generate a drying air flow after being started and an air-guide piece connected to the blower to receive the drying air flow. An interval between the narrow air inlet and the narrow air guide hole interferes with transmission of a sound wave formed by the air flowing between the narrow air inlet and the narrow air guide hole, so that generated noise can be greatly reduced.
