CA 2617088

Drying apparatus (10) has a casing (12), a cavity (30) formed in the casing (12) for receiving an object, a fan (40) located in the casing (12) and capable of creating an airflow, a motor (39) arranged to drive the fan (40). At least one opening (60, 62) communicates with the fan (40) and is arranged in the casing (12) so as to direct an airflow transversely across the cavity (30). According to the invention, the motor (39) and fan arrangement generate an airflow across the cavity, wherein, in use, the pressure of the airflow emitted through the opening is at least 8 kPa. In one arrangement the motor has a rotor which, in use, is capable of rotating at a speed of at least 80,000 rpm. The high velocity, high pressure airflow provided by the apparatus is capable of drying an object efficiently and quickly. The invention is suitable for use in a hand dryer.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de séchage (10) comprenant un boîtier (12), une cavité (30) formée dans le boîtier (12) afin de recevoir un objet, un ventilateur (40) disposé dans le boîtier (12) et capable de générer un écoulement d~air, un moteur (39) disposé de manière à entraîner le ventilateur (40). Une ouverture (60, 62), au moins, communique avec le ventilateur (40) et est disposée dans le boîtier (12) de manière à diriger transversalement un écoulement d~air dans la cavité (30). Selon l~invention, l~ensemble moteur (39) et ventilateur crée un écoulement d~air dans la cavité, la pression de l~écoulement d~air émis par l~ouverture étant d~au moins 8 kPa lors de l~utilisation. Dans un mode de réalisation, le moteur possède un rotor qui, lors de l~utilisation, est capable de tourner à une vitesse de rotation d~au moins 80 000 tours par minute. L~écoulement d~air doté d~une grande vitesse et d~une pression élevée généré par le dispositif est capable de sécher un objet efficacement et rapidement. L~invention convient pour un sèche-mains.
