[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an umbrella dehydrating apparatus which can carry an umbrella indoors without having to wet the floor surface with rainwater by instantly dehydrating an umbrella wet with rain.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional umbrella dewatering apparatus of this kind, there is one having a structure as shown in FIG. That is, 1 is an umbrella receiver whose upper opening is open in the shape of a bosh. A large number of suction holes b are formed in the inner surface of the umbrella receiver 1 with a gap 2 for ventilation therebetween. A porous plate 3 is mounted. Further, on the inner peripheral surface of the porous plate 3, a water-absorbing sheet 4 made of a sheet material having excellent water-absorbing properties, such as cotton cloth, seine skin, etc.
Is attached.

The lower end opening of the umbrella receiver 1 is connected via a duct 5 to an intake casing 7 in which a sirocco fan 6 is housed. Reference numeral 8 denotes a motor for driving the sirocco fan 6, and reference numerals 9 and 10 denote a drain port and an exhaust port provided in the intake casing 7.

The conventional umbrella dewatering apparatus has the above structure, and when dewatering an umbrella wet with rainwater,
First, the motor 8 is driven to rotate the sirocco fan 6 to make the inside of the umbrella receiver 1 having a morning glory into a negative pressure state. Then, when the wet umbrella 11 is inserted into the umbrella receiver 1, The umbrella cloth 12 wet by the negative pressure action is adhered to the water-absorbing sheet 4 so that the moisture of the umbrella cloth 12 is absorbed by the water-absorbing sheet 4, and the rainwater attached to the umbrella cloth 12 is directly removed. .

[0005]

However, in such a conventional umbrella dewatering device, as shown in FIG. 2, the gap 2 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the umbrella receiver 1 in the shape of a bosh is formed. Width a
Is constant along the generatrix direction of the umbrella receiver 1,
The suction volume of each suction hole b in the porous plate 3 which is spaced from the inner peripheral surface of the umbrella receiver 1 with the gap 2 therebetween is substantially constant.

Therefore, when an umbrella having a shorter length than the effective suction length (height) of the umbrella receiver 1, for example, a small-serving umbrella, is inserted into the umbrella receiver 1 to perform dewatering, The umbrella cloth does not hit the suction hole b provided in the vicinity of the upper opening of the elastic plate 3 and remains open. Therefore, the suction force (sakshung force) when the sirocco fan is driven comes in contact with the umbrella cloth. That is, the amount of intake air increases in the portion that does not exist, that is, in the suction hole b in the upper opening of the porous plate 3, and the suction force of the water acting on the umbrella cloth is weakened by the influence, and the dewatering efficiency of the umbrella is reduced. There was a defect.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and has a large airflow resistance at an upper opening of a porous plate provided inside an umbrella receiver 1. Even if the length of the umbrella to be inserted into the umbrella receiver 1 is short and each through-hole of the porous plate in the upper opening of the umbrella receiver 1 remains open, It is an object of the present invention to provide an umbrella dewatering device in which a dewatering suction force to an umbrella cloth can be effectively applied by the ventilation resistance of the through hole.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The same parts of the structure of the present embodiment and the structure described in the conventional example are used in the conventional example. Reference numerals are used, and the description of the same structural parts is omitted.

In this embodiment, an umbrella receiver 1 having a morning glory shape is provided.
Is characterized by a ventilation gap 2 formed between the inner peripheral surface of the above and a porous plate 3 formed with a large number of suction holes b. That is, the width of the gap 2 formed between the inner peripheral surface of the umbrella receiver 1 and the porous plate 3 is the width of the gap in a range in which the distance from the upper opening edge c of the umbrella receiver 1 by d in the generatrix direction is smaller. Is set to a narrow width e, and the gap width not more than the distance d is set to a wide width a as in the conventional example. Regarding the dimensions of the narrow width e and the wide width a, it is desirable that the narrow width e is about 1/2 to 1/4 of the wide width a, and the value of the distance d is the axial length of the adult umbrella (about 60 Approximately 20c obtained by subtracting the axial length of the small umbrella (approximately 40-50cm) from
m is desirable.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, since the width of the gap in the vicinity of the opening edge of the umbrella receiver 1 is formed to have the narrow width e, the ventilation resistance of the suction hole b in the narrow width e portion is large. Therefore, for example, even if a small service umbrella with a short axial length is inserted into the umbrella receiver 1 and the umbrella is dehydrated, an umbrella cloth is placed in each suction hole b near the opening edge of the umbrella receiver 1. Provided is an umbrella dewatering device in which even if it is not in contact, the suction loss of the suction hole b in the non-contact portion of the umbrella cloth is relatively small, and the dewatering efficiency is not reduced even for a small service umbrella having a short axial length. it can.

[0011]

As described above, the present invention provides an umbrella receiver 1 formed substantially in the shape of a bosh, and a porous plate 3 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the umbrella receiver 1 with a gap 2 therebetween. In the umbrella dewatering device having the water absorbing sheet 4 attached to the inner peripheral surface of the porous plate 3, the width of the gap 2 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the umbrella receiver 1 is determined by adjusting the width of the opening of the umbrella receiver 1. Since this is an umbrella dewatering device in which the portion (d) in the generatrix direction from the edge has a narrow width (e) and the other portion has a wide width (a), the airflow resistance in the narrow portion of the porous plate 3 is accordingly determined. Is large,
For example, even if a small service umbrella having a short axial length is inserted into the umbrella receiver 1 and the umbrella is dehydrated, the umbrella cloth is not in contact with the suction holes b near the opening edge of the umbrella receiver 1. However, there is obtained an effect that an umbrella dewatering device can be provided in which the suction loss of the air intake hole b in the non-contact portion of the umbrella cloth is relatively small and the dewatering efficiency is not reduced even with a small service umbrella having a short axial length. Can be
