Descripción detallada de la invención Detailed description of the invention

Partiendo del posicionamiento correcto por parte del usuario de un paraguas mojado en la recamara de secado (9), los detectores de presencia y proximidad (8) situados en la parte interna de dicha recamara (9) activan de forma automática un grupo motor-turbina (5) alimentado mediante energía eléctrica, iniciando el ciclo de secado. El citado grupo motor-turbina (5) absorbe el aire del medio exterior, pasando previamente por un filtro (6) situado en la parte inferior del aparato para eliminar impurezas que pudiesen existir, y lo proyecta a gran velocidad a través de una tobera (4) a la que se encuentra conectado por su parte inferior. Esta tobera (4), en su segundo tramo es sometida a una bifurcación para llevar el aire a gran velocidad impulsado por el grupo motor-turbina (5) a un grupo de salidas (3) situadas a ambos lados del aparato de secado que determinan la expulsión del aire en forma de "cortinas" o "cuchillas" desde las paredes internas de la recámara de secado (9) hacia la zona central de la misma. Este grupo de salidas (3) presentan una sección elíptica en el plano de salida del aire y forma anular en su vista en planta, siguiendo la forma de la estructura portante (2) de la recámara de secado (9). El agua contenida en el paraguas y eliminada del mismo durante el ciclo de secado por medio del sistema descrito es recogida por un recipiente o depósito (8) ,alojado en la parte inferior de la recámara de secado (9), que permite su extracción para su limpieza. Starting from the correct positioning by the user of a wet umbrella in the drying chamber (9), the presence and proximity detectors (8) located inside the said chamber (9) automatically activate a motor-turbine group (5) powered by electric power, starting the drying cycle. Said motor-turbine group (5) absorbs the air from the outside environment, previously passing through a filter (6) located at the bottom of the apparatus to eliminate impurities that may exist, and projects it at high speed through a nozzle ( 4) to which it is connected by its lower part. This nozzle (4), in its second section is subjected to a fork to bring the air at high speed driven by the motor-turbine group (5) to a group of outlets (3) located on both sides of the drying apparatus that determine the expulsion of the air in the form of "curtains" or "blades" from the internal walls of the drying chamber (9) towards the central area thereof. This group of outlets (3) have an elliptical section in the air outlet plane and annular shape in its plan view, following the shape of the supporting structure (2) of the drying chamber (9). The water contained in the umbrella and removed from it during the drying cycle by means of the described system is collected by a container or reservoir (8), housed in the lower part of the drying chamber (9), which allows its extraction to cleaning

El grupo motor-turbina (5) permanecerá activado e impulsando aire de forma continua mientras el paraguas permanezca correctamente situado en la recámara de secado (9). Una vez que el usuario realice la retirada del paraguas se dará por finalizado el ciclo de secado. The motor-turbine group (5) will remain activated and propel air continuously while the umbrella remains correctly located in the drying chamber (9). Once the user performs the umbrella removal, the drying cycle will be terminated.

Ejemplo de realización Execution Example

Según posible forma de realización, el aparato de secado está compuesto por una carcasa exterior (1) que le otorga su forma geométrica vista. Esta carcasa (1) es la que le da estabilidad al aparato de secado. Unida a ella, se posicionará la estructura portante (2) de la recamara de secado (9), y unida a está, todos los conductos que forman el sistema de impulsión. According to a possible embodiment, the drying apparatus is composed of an outer shell (1) which gives it its geometric shape. This housing (1) is what gives stability to the drying apparatus. Together with it, the supporting structure (2) of the drying chamber (9) will be positioned, and together with it, all the ducts that form the drive system.

Los elementos del sistema de impulsión comerciales, no serán objeto de fabricación, por tratarse de componentes completamente instaurados en el mercado y de gran uso en numerosas aplicaciones. Estos son: grupo motor-turbina (5), sensores de presencia y proximidad (8), filtro de aire (6) y resto de elementos eléctricos y electrónicos necesarios para el correcto funcionamiento del sistema. The elements of the commercial drive system will not be subject to manufacturing, as they are components fully installed in the market and widely used in numerous applications. These are: motor-turbine group (5), presence and proximity sensors (8), air filter (6) and other electrical and electronic elements necessary for the proper functioning of the system.

La constitución y características de la carcasa (1), estructura (2) de la recamara de secado y conductos (4) del sistema de impulsión se comprenderá mejor con la siguiente explicación detallada que utiliza como apoyo los dibujos adjuntos al presente modelo de utilidad. The constitution and characteristics of the housing (1), structure (2) of the drying chamber and ducts (4) of the delivery system will be better understood with the following detailed explanation using the drawings attached to this utility model as support.

Según puede apreciarse en la figura 1, la carcasa (1) exterior presenta forma cilíndrica en su totalidad exceptuando una pequeña zona, situado en la parte posterior del aparato, cuyo objetivo es facilitar la colocación del mismo en soportes tipo "pared". La carcasa (l) puede ser fabricada de materiales plásticos mediante inyección, por tratarse de un proceso rápido y relativamente económico. En cuanto a la división de la misma, esta puede fabricarse en dos mitades que posteriormente será ensambladas mediante uniones adhesivas. As can be seen in Figure 1, the outer casing (1) has a cylindrical shape in its entirety except for a small area, located on the back of the apparatus, whose objective is to facilitate its placement on "wall" type brackets. The housing (l) can be made of plastic materials by injection, since it is a fast and relatively inexpensive process. As for the division of the same, this can be manufactured in two halves that will later be assembled by adhesive joints.

La estructura portante (2) de la recamara de secado, y por tanto, el elemento que recibirá el peso del paraguas durante su posicionamiento en la cámara, ha sido concebido como una estructura formada por cuatro perfiles cilíndricos tubulares que se extienden a 10 largo de toda la recamara de secado y cuatro anillos distribuidos en todo la extensión de los perfiles anteriores. Estos anillos se encuentran ranurado s para facilitar el alojamiento de las salidas de aire. La distancia entre anillos, no es constante como se muestra en la figura 2. El material de la estructura descrita puede ser metálico, aluminio principalmente, para no aumentar demasiado el peso del aparato de secado. En cuanto a la unión de los anillos con los perfiles cilíndricos tubulares, se establece como opción más adecuada la utilización de puntos de soldadura. The bearing structure (2) of the drying chamber, and therefore, the element that will receive the weight of the umbrella during its positioning in the chamber, has been conceived as a structure formed by four tubular cylindrical profiles that extend along 10 The whole drying chamber and four rings distributed throughout the extension of the previous profiles. These rings are grooved s to facilitate the accommodation of the air outlets. The distance between rings is not constant as shown in Figure 2. The material of the described structure may be metallic, mainly aluminum, so as not to increase the weight of the drying apparatus too much. As for the union of the rings with the tubular cylindrical profiles, the use of welding points is established as the most appropriate option.

En cuanto al sistema de impulsión, los elementos objeto de fabricación sólo serán las toberas (4). Dada la forma compleja que presentan, figuras 2 y 3, pueden estar realizados en material plástico mediante inyección. Se fabricarán por tramos que posteriormente se unirán unos a otros por uniones adhesivas. La división en tramos de los conductos para su fabricación puede variar en función de los recursos de los que se disponga. El resto de componentes del sistema de impulsión, tal y como se ha indicado al inicio del presente apartado, no es necesario que se fabriquen, por tratarse de elementos comerciales. As for the drive system, the elements to be manufactured will only be the nozzles (4). Given the complex shape they have, figures 2 and 3, they can be made of plastic material by injection. They will be manufactured in sections that will subsequently join each other by adhesive joints. The division into sections of the ducts for their manufacture may vary depending on the resources available. The other components of the drive system, as indicated at the beginning of this section, do not need to be manufactured, since they are commercial elements.

Respecto al montaje del conjunto, en primer lugar se montará todo el sistema de impulsión con sus correspondientes elementos. La unión de los elementos comerciales se realizará de acuerdo a los manuales y/o fichas técnicas que acompañan a los mismos. El montaje de las toberas (4) en las ranuras de la estructura (2) de la recamara de secado se realizará mediante apriete y uniones adhesivas, realizando posteriormente el correspondiente sellado de la zona para evitar fugas de aire que puedan hacer disminuir el rendimiento del sistema. Una vez montado todo el sistema de impulsión y colocado sobre la estructura portante (2), se procederá al cerramiento del mismo mediante las dos mitades que componen la carcasa (1). Cada mitad estará unida con la estructura portante (2) de la recamara mediante uniones adhesivas y a su vez unida a la otra mitad de la carcasa mediante el mismo sistema. Regarding the assembly of the assembly, the entire drive system will be mounted first with its corresponding elements. The union of the commercial elements will be carried out according to the manuals and / or technical sheets that accompany them. The mounting of the nozzles (4) in the grooves of the structure (2) of the drying chamber will be carried out by means of tightening and adhesive joints, subsequently carrying out the corresponding sealing of the area to avoid air leaks that can reduce the performance of the system. Once the entire drive system is mounted and placed on the supporting structure (2), it will be closed by means of the two halves that make up the housing (1). Each half will be connected to the supporting structure (2) of the bedroom by means of adhesive joints and in turn attached to the other half of the housing by the same system.

Es preciso puntualizar, que la forma geométrica exterior del aparato de secado, así como del resto de elementos, es susceptible de ser modificada en función de los recursos de fabricación. It is necessary to point out that the external geometric shape of the drying apparatus, as well as the rest of the elements, can be modified according to the manufacturing resources.
