Description

  The present invention relates to an umbrella dewatering machine that removes water droplets attached to an umbrella cloth with air.

  In recent years, an umbrella dewatering machine that removes water droplets adhering to an umbrella cloth with air has been used. Using an umbrella dewatering machine when entering a building on a rainy day makes it difficult for water drops to drip from the umbrella in the building.

  Such an umbrella dewatering machine removes water droplets by blowing air onto the front surface of a closed umbrella cloth. However, the umbrella cloth is in a slack state when the umbrella is closed. If there is overlap of sagging umbrella cloth, air will not reach the area and water droplets will tend to remain. For this reason, it is necessary to eliminate the overlap of the sagging of the umbrella cloth when removing water droplets by air.

  In addition, when an umbrella dewatering device is provided with a wide opening for inserting an umbrella, when the water droplet is removed by air, the water droplet is scattered from the opening to the surroundings and wets the floor. For this reason, it is necessary to reliably block water droplets inside the umbrella dewatering machine.

  Regarding cancellation of sagging overlap of umbrella cloth, for example, the one disclosed in Patent Document 1 discloses a first air outlet provided at a position where compressed air can be fed toward the inside of an umbrella cloth closed, and the umbrella. A blower having a second air outlet provided at a position where the compressed air is blown against the outer side of the cloth, and sending the compressed air to both the air outlets. And two ducts that branch from the first nozzle to the second nozzle.

  Air is sent through both ducts, and compressed air is blown out from the inner and outer nozzles. At this time, the air blown from the inner nozzle is blown into the umbrella cloth inside the closed umbrella, so that the umbrella cloth is slightly opened. Then, air is vigorously blown from the outer nozzle toward the outer side of the slightly open umbrella cloth.

  As a result, raindrops adhering to the outer side of the umbrella cloth that is slightly open are blown off from the surface of the umbrella cloth by vigorous air blown from the outer nozzle. In other words, air is blown from the outer nozzle to the outside of the umbrella cloth while the umbrella cloth is slightly opened by blowing air from the inner nozzle, so that air is evenly blown to the umbrella cloth and raindrops adhering to the umbrella cloth surface are sufficiently removed. can do.

  In addition, with regard to the elimination of water splash from the opening, a tapered opening similar to the appearance of a closed umbrella is formed on the top of the box in order to block the water drop during water removal at the opening of the main body. As shown, a raindrop splash prevention plate is provided.

JP-A-4-28991

  However, in such an umbrella dewatering machine, two systems of a system for expanding the slack of the umbrella cloth and a system for removing water droplets are required as an air blowing system. Therefore, nozzles and ducts are required in each system, and the structure becomes complicated. Manufacturing complexity and maintenance costs increase due to the complexity of the structure.

  Moreover, since the system for expanding the slack of the umbrella cloth and the air for two systems for removing water droplets are necessary, the required air volume increases and the blower becomes larger. The increase in size of the blower increases the power consumption and the operation sound of the blower.

  In addition, when a short umbrella is inserted because the water droplet scattering prevention plate is tapered, a water removal space opens at the umbrella cloth end on the tip side of the umbrella, and thus water droplets are scattered from the opening during water removal.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above, and by expanding the slack of the umbrella cloth with a shielding plate, the water removal performance is improved without complicating the blower system, and the manufacturing cost, power consumption, and operation noise are improved. It is an object to obtain an umbrella dewatering machine that can suppress the above.

  Furthermore, it aims at obtaining the sanitary umbrella dewatering machine which can suppress water scattering irrespective of the length of an umbrella by interrupting | blocking a water drop with a shielding board.

  In order to solve the above-described problems and achieve the object, the present invention provides a water removal chamber that houses an umbrella inserted in a closed state from an opening provided in a main body, and a water removal chamber provided in the water removal chamber. A shield plate that protrudes from the tip side toward the stone bump side and is inserted inside the umbrella cloth of the umbrella, and a water removal chamber provided on the shield plate side of the umbrella middle stick, And an air ejection part for ejecting air toward the dew side.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to improve the water removal performance without complicating the blower system by widening the slack of the umbrella cloth by the shielding plate provided on the inner surface of the box. Moreover, since the blower system is not complicated, the manufacturing cost, power consumption, and operation noise of the umbrella dewatering machine can be suppressed. Further, by blocking water droplets with the shielding plate, it is possible to reliably prevent water scattering regardless of the length of the umbrella, thereby improving hygiene.

  Below, the umbrella dewatering machine which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated in detail based on drawing. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an umbrella water remover according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a state in which an umbrella is inserted in the cross-sectional view of the umbrella dewatering machine illustrated in FIG. 1. The umbrella water remover 1 has a main body 4 and a blower (air blowing means) 3 and is generally configured.

  The umbrella 10 from which water droplets are removed by the umbrella dewatering machine 1 includes, for example, an intermediate rod 10a, a hand (handle portion) 10b, a stone bump 10c, a main bone 10d, and an umbrella cloth 10e. The middle rod 10 a is a shaft member that is positioned at the center of the umbrella 10 with a hand 10 b and a stone protrusion 10 c attached to both ends thereof.

  The hand 10b is a handle portion that the user of the umbrella 10 has. The stone bump 10c is attached to the tip of the umbrella 10 and has a function of collecting the umbrella cloth 10e. A plurality of the main bones 10d are pivotally supported in the vicinity of the stone protrusion 10c of the middle rod 10a. The umbrella cloth 10e is a cloth-like member that covers the space between the main bones 10d. The tip (free end) side of the main bone 10d is referred to as a tip 10f. A detailed description of the opening / closing mechanism of the umbrella 10 will be omitted.

  In the present application, the front surface of the umbrella cloth 10e refers to a surface that receives rain when the umbrella 10 is inserted, and a surface that faces outward when the umbrella 10 is closed. The back surface of the umbrella cloth 10e refers to a surface opposite to the front surface. Further, the inside of the umbrella 10 refers to a region surrounded by the umbrella cloth 10e in the umbrella 10 in the closed state.

  The main body 4 has a function as a housing that covers the entire umbrella water remover 1. The main body 4 is made of a thin plate-shaped sheet metal or resin. On the side surface of the main body 4, a takeout opening (opening) 7 for inserting and taking out the umbrella 10 in the water removal chamber 8 described later is formed.

  The take-out opening 7 has a shape that substantially follows the projected shape of the umbrella 10 as viewed from the side so that the umbrella 10 can be inserted in a direction substantially perpendicular to the middle rod 10a of the umbrella 10. More specifically, the take-out opening 7 has an elongated shape along the middle rod 10a of the umbrella, is formed to have a different width in the longitudinal direction, and becomes narrower toward the stone protrusion 10c side of the umbrella 10 to be inserted. ing. In the first embodiment, since the umbrella 10 is inserted with the center rod 10a being substantially perpendicular to the ground, the take-out opening 7 has a vertically elongated shape.

  The inside of the main body 4 has a water removal chamber 8 and an air supply chamber 9. The water removal chamber 8 is a space for accommodating the umbrella 10 in a closed state inserted from the take-out opening 7. Inside the water removal chamber 8, a stone bump holding part 11 is provided below. The stone protrusion holding part 11 accommodates the stone protrusion 10c of the umbrella 10 inserted from the extraction opening 7 and holds it rotatably.

  The stone bump holding part 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape so as to hold the umbrella 10 vertically. In order to enable the umbrella 10 to rotate more smoothly, the lower part of the stone bump holding part 11 is supported by a rotating shaft 12. An operation switch 25 is provided below the rotary shaft 12. When the user inserts the stone bump 10 c of the umbrella 10 into the stone bump holding portion 11, the load of the stone bump holding portion 11 is detected and the operation switch 25 operates to operate. It becomes a state. When the user finishes the water removal operation and removes the umbrella 10 from the stone bump holding part 11, the load is removed, so the operation switch 25 is released and the operation stops.

  The operation switch 25 only needs to detect the presence or absence of the stone bump 10c of the stone bump holding portion 11, and may be a limit switch or an optical sensor for detecting the contact of the stone bump 10c in addition to a sensor for detecting a load.

  A nozzle (air ejection part) 14 is formed between the water removal chamber 8 and the air supply chamber 9. The nozzle 14 forms an elliptical opening that allows the water removal chamber 8 and the air supply chamber 9 to communicate with each other. Air discharged from the blower 3 (detailed later) in the air supply chamber 9 is jetted into the water removal chamber 8 through the nozzle 14.

  In order to suppress the power consumption of the umbrella dewatering machine 1, the nozzles 14 are preferably disposed at one place, but may be disposed at a plurality of places if there is no restriction on the power consumption or the like.

  The nozzle 14 is disposed closer to the water removal chamber 8 than the stone bump holding portion 11. For this reason, water removal by air is performed on the umbrella cloth 10e which is parallel to the plane of the take-out opening 7 and located on the water removal chamber 8 side of the plane passing through the central axis 10g of the umbrella 10.

  FIG. 3 is a front view of the umbrella water remover 1 taken out and viewed from the opening 7 side. FIG. 4 is a view showing a state in which a relatively long umbrella 10 is inserted in the front view of the umbrella dewatering machine 1 shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a state in which a relatively short umbrella 10 is inserted in the front view of the umbrella dewatering machine 1 illustrated in FIG. 3. Here, the relatively long umbrella 10 refers to the umbrella 10 in which there is almost no gap between the inner side surface 6 of the top plate 5 and the tip 10f when accommodated in the water removal chamber 8. In addition, the relatively short umbrella 10 is shorter than the relatively long umbrella 10, and when accommodated in the water removal chamber 8, an umbrella having a considerable gap between the inner surface 6 of the top plate 5 and the dew point 10 f. 10 is said.

  FIG. 6 is a top view of the umbrella water remover 1. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA shown in FIG. 3 and is a view showing a cross section of the shielding plate 15. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB shown in FIG. 3 and is a view showing a cross section of the shielding plate 15.

  The shielding plate 15 extends from the inner surface 6 of the top plate 5 of the main body 4 toward the stone bump holding portion 11. That is, the umbrella 10 accommodated in the water removal chamber 8 is formed so as to extend from the tip 10f side to the stone bump 10c side. Further, the shielding plate 15 is formed to be inclined toward the take-out opening 7.

  Further, the shielding plate 15 is formed at a position to be inserted inside the umbrella cloth 10e when the umbrella 10 is used and standing in the water removal chamber 8. 4 and 5, the relatively long umbrella 10 is inserted into the dewatering chamber 8 and the relatively short umbrella 10 is accommodated in the dewatering chamber 8. It is formed with the length.

  The shielding plate 15 is formed in a substantially tapered shape whose lateral width decreases toward the stone bump holding portion 11 so that it can be easily inserted inside the umbrella cloth 10e, and its tip is curved so as not to be caught by the umbrella cloth 10e. Is formed. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the shielding plate 15 has a cross-sectional shape with a circular arc whose center is convex toward the water removal chamber 8.

  In a use state in which the umbrella 10 is manually rotated while the umbrella cloth 10e is inserted, the shielding plate 15 is formed in an arc shape, so that the shielding plate 15 is less likely to be caught by the main bone 10d. Further, since the shielding plate 15 is formed in an arc shape, the hand 10b and the hand are not easily obstructed when the hand 10b is turned, and the rotation operation is hardly hindered.

  When air is ejected from the nozzle 14 to the umbrella 10, a force is exerted to press the main bone 10 d and the umbrella cloth 10 e inward by the air. However, since the main bone 10d of the umbrella 10 is supported by the shielding plate 15 inserted inside the umbrella 10, and the space between the adjacent main bones 10d is widened by the arcuate cross-sectional shape of the shielding plate 15, the umbrella cloth 10e It becomes difficult to enter the inside or the umbrella cloth 10e is overlapped, and it is easy to maintain an optimal water removal state.

  Further, when air is blown onto the wet umbrella 10, the umbrella cloth 10e flutters with the wind pressure of the air. At this time, there are also water droplets that scatter from the upper end of the umbrella cloth 10e toward the take-out opening 7. Since the shielding plate 15 is in a position to shield the umbrella cloth 10e on the side of the water removal chamber 8 when viewed from the front of the main body 4, water droplets scattered from the umbrella cloth 10e are on the side of the water removal chamber 8 in the shielding plate 15. It is possible to prevent water droplets from adhering to the inner surface and splashing from the take-out opening 7 to the outside of the main body 4.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the flow of air ejected from the nozzle 14. The nozzle 14 ejects the air discharged from the blower 3 from the stone protrusion 10c side of the umbrella 10, and generates an air flow (flow indicated by an arrow X) from the stone protrusion 10c toward the tip 10f. The air ejected from the nozzle 14 flows from the stone protrusion 10c side to the tip 10f side while blowing (removing) water droplets adhering to the front surface of the umbrella cloth 10e.

  Of the main body 4, the inner side surface (air facing surface) (air guiding portion) 6 of the top plate 5 has a function as an air facing surface. The inner side surface 6 is a surface located downstream of the tip 10 f of the umbrella 10. The inner side surface 6 opposes the air flow after blowing off water droplets attached to the front surface of the umbrella cloth 10e. The air that has collided with the inner surface 6 diffuses radially along the inner surface 6 with the collision point as the center. A part of the diffused flow (the flow indicated by the arrow Y) flows toward the central axis 10 g of the umbrella 10.

  A shielding plate 15 is erected on the inner side surface 6. A guide surface (air guide portion) 15 a that the flow of the arrow Y of the shielding plate 15 collides extends from the inner surface 6 toward the inside of the umbrella 10. Accordingly, the air directed toward the central axis 10g of the umbrella 10 is changed in direction by the guide surface 15a of the shielding plate 15 and guided to the inside of the umbrella 10 (flow of arrow Z). That is, the guide surface 15 a cooperates with the inner surface 6 to guide the air flow from which the water droplets of the umbrella cloth 10 e are removed to the inside of the umbrella 10.

  The distance between the tip of the shielding plate 15 and the central axis 10g of the umbrella 10 is 100 mm or less. Generally, there are many umbrellas whose distance from the central axis 10g to the tip 10f is 100 mm or more. Therefore, if the tip position of the shielding plate 15 is between the point 10 mm from the central axis 10 g and the middle bar 10 a, air can be guided to the inside of most umbrellas 10 regardless of the type of the umbrella 10.

  A drain tank 16 is disposed in the water removal chamber 8. The water droplets blown off from the umbrella cloth 10e by the air ejected from the nozzle 14 adhere to and flow down on the side wall surface in the water removal chamber 8, and the water droplets that flow down fall toward the drainage tank 16. When water accumulates in the drainage tank 16, the drainage tank 16 can be taken out and the accumulated water can be discarded.

  In the first embodiment, the water droplets blown off from the umbrella cloth 10e are once stored in the drainage tank 16, but may be drained without connecting the water droplets by connecting a pipe. It becomes unnecessary to throw away the water accumulated in the drainage tank 16 and the usability can be improved.

  FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC shown in FIG. The air supply chamber 9 is a space for taking in air and ejecting the taken-in air from the nozzle 14. The air supply chamber 9 includes a suction air passage 17 and a blower housing chamber 18. The suction air passage 17 and the blower housing chamber 18 are separated by a partition 9a.

  An air intake port 19 is formed in the suction air passage 17. A suction air passage 17 and the outside of the umbrella dewatering machine 1 are connected via an air intake port 19. When the blower 3 is in an operating state, the suction air passage 17 has a negative pressure due to the action of the blower 3, and outside air (air) is taken in from the air intake port 19.

  The air intake port 19 is covered with an air filter (dust collecting means) 20. The air filter 20 removes foreign matters such as dust from the air taken in from the air intake port 19 to prevent the inside of the umbrella dewatering machine 1 from being contaminated and failure of the equipment. A sound absorbing material 22 is attached to the inside of the suction air passage 17. The sound absorbing material 22 suppresses leakage of noise generated by the air passing through the suction air passage 17 to the outside.

  The blower accommodating chamber 18 accommodates the blower 3 and ejects air taken in from the air intake port 19 from the nozzle 14. A communication port 9b is formed in the partition 9a. The blower accommodating chamber 18 and the suction air passage 17 are connected via the communication port 9b.

  The blower 3 is sandwiched between the packing 23 and the vibration isolation member 24 and accommodated in the blower accommodating chamber 18. The suction port 21 of the blower 3 is connected to the communication port 9 b via a packing 23, and the opposite side of the suction port 21 is fixed to the inner wall of the blower accommodating chamber 18 via a vibration isolation member 24.

  Since the suction port 21 is connected to the communication port 9b via the packing 23, air leakage from the gap between the suction port 21 and the communication port 9b can be reduced. Further, since vibration due to the operation of the blower 3 is absorbed by the packing 23 and the vibration isolation member 24, it is possible to prevent vibration from being transmitted to the main body 4 and to suppress generation of noise.

  The blower 3 enters an operation state when the user inserts the stone bump 10c of the umbrella 10 into the stone bump holding portion 11 and the operation switch 25 operates. When the blower 3 is in an operating state, a fan (not shown) held inside the blower 3 rotates and air is sucked from the suction port 21. Air sucked from the suction port 21 is discharged into the blower housing chamber 18 from a discharge port (not shown) opened to the blower housing chamber 18. Since the opening area of the nozzle 14 is smaller than the amount of air discharged from the blower 3, air is ejected vigorously from the nozzle 14.

  Next, the operation procedure of the umbrella water remover 1 will be described. A state in which the user of the umbrella dewatering machine 1 is closed by moving the umbrella 10 upward from the lower opening 7 formed in the main body 4 and inserting the shielding plate 15 inside the umbrella 10. The umbrella 10 is inserted. Next, the inserted umbrella 10 is moved downward and the stone protrusion 10 c of the umbrella 10 is stored in the stone protrusion holding part 11.

  The umbrella 10 in the water removal chamber 8 is vertically positioned and supported by the cylindrical stone bump holding portion 11, and the operation switch 25 that detects the load of the stone bump holding portion 11 is operated to bring the blower 3 into an operation state. When the blower 3 is in an operating state, air is sucked from the suction port 21 through the suction port 21 and the suction air passage 17. Air sucked from the suction port 21 is discharged from the discharge port to the blower housing chamber 18. Air discharged from the discharge port is jetted from the nozzle 14 to the water removal chamber 8.

  The air jetted from the nozzle 14 to the water removal chamber 8 forms an air flow (flow indicated by an arrow X) from the stone protrusion 10c side of the umbrella 10 toward the tip 10f side. The air ejected from the nozzle 14 blows off water droplets adhering to the front surface of the umbrella cloth 10e in the process from the crest 10c of the umbrella 10 to the tip 10f.

  In the process from the stone bump 10c of the umbrella 10 to the tip 10f, the air that has blown off (removed) water droplets adhering to the front surface of the umbrella cloth 10e collides with the inner surface 6 of the main body 4 downstream of the tip 10f. And diffused. Of the air that collides with the inner side surface 6 and diffuses, the air toward the central axis 10g of the umbrella 10 (flow of arrow Y) collides with the guide surface 15a of the shielding plate 15 and is guided to the inside of the umbrella 10 (arrow Z Flow of).

  The air guided to the inside of the umbrella 10 spreads the sagging of the umbrella cloth 10e. As the sagging of the umbrella cloth 10e spreads, the overlap is also eliminated. Therefore, in the process in which the air blown from the nozzle 14 reaches the tip 10f from the crest 10c of the umbrella 10, it becomes easy to hit the umbrella cloth 10e evenly, and the water droplet removal performance is improved.

  By rotating the hand 10b of the umbrella 10 while air is being ejected from the nozzle 14, water droplets attached to the entire umbrella cloth 10e can be blown off with air. Since the umbrella 10 is vertically positioned and supported by the stone bump holding part 11, even if the umbrella 10 is rotated, the direction of the central axis 10g of the umbrella 10 is hardly changed, and good water removal performance can be maintained.

  The wind speed and flow direction of the air guided to the inside of the umbrella 10 change in time series depending on the state of the umbrella cloth 10e and the like. The umbrella cloth 10e vibrates (flickers) due to the time-series change of the air guided to the inside of the umbrella 10.

  At this time, water droplets are released from the upper end portion of the umbrella cloth 10e, and the water droplets try to scatter in the direction of the extraction opening 7. However, since the shielding plate 15 is inserted inside the umbrella fabric 10e, the shielding plate 15 is the main body. 4 is in a positional relationship of shielding the umbrella cloth 10e on the side of the water removal chamber 8 as viewed from the front of the water. It is possible to prevent water droplets from splashing outside the main body 4.

  Whether the umbrella 10 is long or short, since the shielding plate 15 is inserted inside the umbrella cloth 10e, the positional relationship between the shielding plate 15 and the umbrella cloth 10e does not change, and which umbrella 10 Even if water is used, water droplets can be prevented from scattering from the take-out opening 7 to the outside of the main body 4.

  In addition, when air is ejected from the nozzle 14 to the umbrella 10, the force that presses the main bone 10 d and the umbrella cloth 10 e by the air works, but since the shielding plate 15 is inserted inside the umbrella 10, Since the main plate 10d of the umbrella 10 is supported by the shielding plate 15, and the arcuate cross-sectional shape of the shielding plate 15 has an action of expanding the adjacent main frame 10d, the umbrella fabric 10e enters inside by the air, or the umbrella fabric 10e. Are less likely to overlap, making it easier to maintain optimal water removal conditions.

  Further, since the shielding plate 15 is formed in an arc shape, the shielding plate 15 is less likely to be caught on the main bone 10d. Further, since the shielding plate 15 is formed in an arc shape, it is difficult to disturb the hand 10b and does not hinder the rotation operation.

  When the removal of the water droplets is completed, the user moves the umbrella 10 upward and removes it from the stone bump holding portion 11, thereby removing the load on the stone bump holding portion 11, releasing the operation switch 25 and stopping the blower 3. Then, the umbrella 10 is taken out while being removed from the shielding plate 15 so that the umbrella 10 is shifted downward.

  In addition, when air collides with the inner surface 6 or when the flow direction is changed by the guide surface 15a, water droplets removed from the umbrella cloth 10e are separated from the air, so that the air is directed toward the inside of the umbrella 10. Contains almost no water droplets.

  According to the above configuration, it is necessary to provide separate nozzles and air passages in order to generate an air flow for removing water droplets from the front surface of the umbrella cloth 10e and an air flow for expanding the sagging of the umbrella cloth 10e. Therefore, the structure can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

  Moreover, since the slack of the umbrella cloth 10e is widened by the shielding plate 15 and the air after removing the water droplets of the umbrella cloth 10e is used as it is to eliminate the overlap of the slack of the umbrella cloth 10e, the necessary air volume is reduced and power saving is achieved. Therefore, noise reduction can be achieved. Further, by blocking water droplets with the shielding plate 15, even when a relatively short umbrella 10 is used, it is possible to more reliably prevent water droplets from being scattered to the outside, thereby providing a sanitary umbrella dewatering machine 1. be able to.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 11: is the elements on larger scale which expanded the stone protrusion holding | maintenance part part of the umbrella water removal machine which concerns on Embodiment 2 of this invention. Components similar to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  In the second embodiment, the stone bump holding portion 11 is connected to the rotation driving means 13 via the rotation shaft 12 at the lower portion thereof. The rotation drive means 13 rotates the rotating shaft 12 and the stone bump holding part 11 at a rotation speed of about 0.1 to 0.5 rps.

  Moreover, the rotational torque by the rotational driving means 13 is set to such an extent that the stone bump holding portion 11 to be rotationally driven can be manually stopped. The rotation drive means 13 is comprised by the geared motor etc., for example.

  The rotation driving means 13 starts to rotate in conjunction with an operation switch 25 installed in the vicinity of the stone bump holding part 11. Therefore, when the operation switch 25 is released by removing the water droplets from the umbrella 10 and the user moving the umbrella 10 upward and pulling it out of the stone bump holding part 11, the rotation stops.

  With the above configuration, the user does not need to turn the umbrella 10 with his / her hand, and can use the umbrella dewatering device comfortably. In particular, since the operation of the umbrella water remover is simplified, the burden on children and the elderly can be reduced.

  As described above, the umbrella dewatering device according to the present invention is useful for removing water droplets attached to the umbrella.
