DRYER

摘要

A dryer includes a centrifugal impeller, a motor configured to rotate the impeller about a rotation axis which crosses a plane including a blowing axis, and a heater. The impeller is accommodated in a portion including a pair of side surfaces, each of which crosses the rotation axis, and an air inlet defined in at least one of the side surfaces. The impeller includes blades that are annular with the rotation axis as a center. The heater is supported on plate-shaped portions extending in a plurality of directions from the blowing axis in a cross-section perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the blowing axis. A rear edge of each of the plate-shaped portions with respect to the blowing axis extends in a direction which crosses radially outer edges of the blades with respect to the rotation axis when viewed along the blowing axis.

1. A dryer comprising:
a tubular portion extending in a front-rear direction around a blowing axis that extends in the front-rear direction; an impeller accommodating portion rearward of the tubular portion and continuous with the tubular portion; a centrifugal impeller accommodated inside the impeller accommodating portion; a motor configured to rotate the impeller about a rotation axis which crosses a plane including the blowing axis; a heater support portion inside the tubular portion; and a heater supported by the heater support portion inside the tubular portion; wherein the impeller accommodating portion includes a pair of side surfaces, each of which crosses the rotation axis, and an air inlet defined in at least one of the side surfaces; the impeller includes a plurality of annular or substantially annular blades with the rotation axis as a center; the heater support portion includes a plurality of plate-shaped portions extending in a plurality of directions from the blowing axis in a cross-section perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the blowing axis; and a rear edge of each of the plate-shaped portions of the heater support portion with respect to the blowing axis extends in a direction which crosses radially outer edges of the blades with respect to the rotation axis when viewed along the blowing axis.
