Hair dryer and electric motor

A hair dryer comprising:

• a main body unit including an inlet port at one end and an outlet port at the other end;
• a blower disposed in the main body unit and configured to generate, in the main body unit, airflow flowing from the inlet port to the outlet port;
• and
• a driver including a motor and a frame encasing the motor, and configured to drive the blower by a rotation of the motor, the frame including an outer wall and a heat dissipater provided on an inner side of the outer wall, the heat dissipater being configured to dissipate, using the airflow, heat generated in a winding of the motor-,
• the inlet port being provided close to the frame and defining a flow path of the airflow, the inlet port having a shape such that a section of the flow path continuously decreases from a side opposite to the frame toward a side of the frame,
• the blower being arranged to cause the generated airflow to flow on the inner side of the outer wall,
• the main body unit having an outlet unit arranged on a side of the inlet port relative to the outlet port across the flow path of the airflow,
• the outlet unit including a center part and a plurality of blow ports provided along a circumferential direction around the center part and defining the flow path of the airflow,
• each of the plurality of blow ports having a first portion where the flow path continuously narrows in a direction along the airflow and a second portion connected to the first portion where the flow path continuously widens in the direction along the airflow.
