Abstract

PURPOSE: To prevent the dryer from causing an animal distress and from damaging its hairs and to dry from the roots of the hairs, by adjusting the speed of wind passing through an inner tube forming a blowout nozzle so that it is higher than the speed of wind passing between the inner tube and an outer tube, and by providing a heating element in the inner tube or between the inner tube and outer tube. CONSTITUTION: Vanes rotate by operating a blower 18 after washing an animal with warm water, and produced wind passes through a motor 19 and enters a hose 23 by separately flowing into an inner hose 23a and ant outer hose 23b. The wind passing between the inner hose 23a and outer hose 23b is regulated in air flow by means of an air-flow control plate 24, so that the wind passing through the inner hose 23a becomes high-speed wind B and the wind passing between the inner hose 23a and outer hose 23b becomes low-speed wind C. The winds enter a head part 25, and the low-speed wind C is heated by a heating element 30. As a result, the high-speed wind B having a room temperature is blown out of an inner tube 25a, and the low-speed wind C having a high temperature is blown out between the inner tube 25a and outer tube 25b. Thus, with the high-speed wind B having the room temperature and the low-speed wind having the high temperature, hairs are dried from their roots.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional hair dryer as described above, hot air is blown out at almost uniform speed and temperature from the air outlet (7) of the nine heads (6), so there is a problem that it damages the hair that the animal is trying to heal. be.

There is also the problem that it is insufficient to dry one hair from the root.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides an animal dryer that does not damage the hair of the animal and can dry the hair from the root. The purpose is to

[Means for solving problems]

In the animal dryer according to the present invention, the blowing nozzle connected to the blowing side of the blower is formed by an inner tube and an outer tube, and the wind speed passing through the inner tube is changed from the wind speed passing between the inner tube and the outer tube. The heating element is adjusted to be small and a heating element is provided between the inner cylinder or the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder.

[Effect]

In this invention, the wind speed in the inner cylinder of the blow-off nozzle is adjusted to be greater than the wind speed between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder.

High-speed wind is blown out from the inner cylinder, low-speed wind is blown out from between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, and the high-speed wind and low-speed wind are mixed to produce hot air.
