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 type, there is one having a structure as shown in FIG. That is, reference numeral 1 denotes a suction frame formed with a circular concave curved surface 2 corresponding to the curved surface of the opened umbrella surface and having a large number of suction ports 3 formed on the concave curved surface 2 at close intervals. A water-absorbing sheet 4 made of a sheet material having excellent water-absorbing properties, such as cotton cloth or chamois, is provided on the surface of the frame 1 on which the suction port 3 is provided, that is, the concave curved surface. Each suction port 3 provided in the suction frame 1 is connected to a suction duct 5, and a vacuum pump 7 is provided at an end of the suction duct 5. Reference numeral 8 denotes a drive motor of the vacuum pump 7, reference numeral 9 denotes an exhaust port, and reference numerals 10 and 11 denote drain ports. Reference numeral 12 denotes an opened umbrella, and reference numeral 13 denotes an umbrella cloth.

When the wet umbrella 12 is to be dehydrated by the conventional umbrella dewatering device having the above structure, the umbrella is first opened and the surface of the umbrella cloth 13 of the umbrella is opened. When the drive motor 9 is driven while being brought into contact with the concave curved surface 2 of the suction frame 1, each suction port of the suction frame 1 becomes negative pressure, and the umbrella cloth 1 wet by the negative pressure action.
3 is adhered to the water-absorbent sheet 4, so that the water on the surface of the umbrella cloth 13 is absorbed by the water-absorbent sheet 4, and the rainwater attached to the umbrella cloth 13 is immediately removed. The water adsorbed on the water absorbing sheet 4 is supplied to each suction port 3 by the suction force of the vacuum pump 7.
The air is discharged from the drain ports 10 and 11 through the suction duct 5 and the intake air is discharged from the exhaust port 9.

[0004]

However, in such a conventional umbrella dewatering device, the shape of the suction frame 1 formed on the concave curved surface 2 is constant and the area of the concave curved surface (diameter) is large. ) Is formed so as to fit the size of a general adult umbrella. For example, if a child umbrella smaller in diameter than the concave curved surface is placed in contact with the concave curved surface, However, since the diameter of the umbrella is small, there is a peripheral edge of the concave curved surface, which causes an increase in the amount of air suctioned from the suction port 3 at the peripheral edge of the concave curved surface, and a suction efficiency (dewatering efficiency) of moisture contained in the cloth. Was reduced.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and has a circular concave curved surface corresponding to the surface of an opened umbrella cloth having a large number of suction ports formed therein. In the suction frame having, a valve for opening the suction port by the contact force of the umbrella is provided at each of the suction ports provided on the peripheral edge of the concave curved surface, and according to the size of the umbrella to be dewatered, An object of the present invention is to provide an umbrella dewatering device configured to open only a suction port of a portion where an umbrella cloth is in contact with, thereby improving the dewatering efficiency of the umbrella cloth.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 21 denotes an opened umbrella 12
This is a suction frame formed in a circular concave surface corresponding to the curved surface of the surface, and a large number of suction ports 22 are formed on the concave curved surface of the suction frame 21 at close intervals. Each suction port 22 is connected to an exhaust duct 24 via a respective ventilation path 23.
In addition, for example, synthetic leather, chamois,
Water absorbing sheet 25 made of a sheet material having excellent water absorbing properties such as cotton cloth
Is attached.

[0008] Among the many suction ports 22 provided in the suction frame 21, 26 is provided inside a plurality of suction ports 22 particularly located on the outer peripheral edge portion of the concave curved surface. The valve mechanism 26 has a suction port 22 as shown in an enlarged view of FIG.
And a valve body 27 that can open and close the valve body.
Is always in the suction port closed position.
One end of the operating rod 29 pierced from the suction port 22 in the direction of the water-absorbing sheet 25 and the other end is in contact with the valve body 27.
It consists of Reference numeral 30 denotes an equipment vacuum mechanism in the exhaust duct 24, 31 a motor for driving the vacuum mechanism 30, 32 exhaust ports, 33 and 34 drain ports, 3
Reference numeral 5 denotes a vacuum drive switch.

The operation of the present embodiment has been described above. Next, the operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the umbrella 12 to be dewatered is opened and the water absorbing sheet 2 of the suction frame 21 is opened.
5, the umbrella 12 switches the switch 35.
Is pushed, and as a result, the vacuum mechanism 30 is driven, and each suction port 22 becomes a negative pressure. Due to this negative pressure, the umbrella 12 approaching the water-absorbing sheet 25 is adsorbed to each suction port 22 together with the water-absorbing sheet 25.
9 is pushed against the elastic force of the spring 28, whereby the valve body 27 is operated in the opening direction of the suction force 22, so that all the suction ports 22 corresponding to the umbrella 12 are opened. As a result, the entire umbrella cloth 13 comes into contact with the water absorbing sheet 25, and the entire umbrella cloth is effectively dehydrated.

Next, when an umbrella having a small outside diameter, such as a child umbrella, comes close to the suction frame 21, the operating rod 29 is not pushed by the small umbrella and the valve body 27 is opened. As a result, the suction port 22 at the outer peripheral edge of the suction frame 21 does not open, and therefore, when the child umbrella is dehydrated, the suction port 22 where the umbrella cloth is not in contact is kept closed. Therefore, there is no suction loss and effective dehydration can be expected in a short time even with a small umbrella.

[0011]

As described above, the present invention is directed to a suction frame 21 formed on a circular concave surface corresponding to the surface of an opened umbrella cloth and having a plurality of suction ports 22 formed in the entire circular concave surface.
In the umbrella dewatering device having the above, the suction port 22 provided on the concave curved surface peripheral portion of the suction frame 21 is pushed by an umbrella close to the suction frame 21 so that the suction port 22 is opened.
According to this, the large and small umbrellas having different umbrella diameters are placed in the suction frame 21 provided with a large number of suction ports 22 because the umbrella dehydrator has a normally closed valve mechanism 26 for opening the umbrella. When approached in the open state, the suction port 2 corresponds to the open diameter.
Since the opening 2 is opened, the intake loss is eliminated, and an effect that an effective dewatering process can be performed with any umbrella having a different size is obtained.
