Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an umbrella dewatering device capable of instantly dewatering an umbrella wet with rain and carrying the umbrella indoors without leaking the floor surface with rainwater.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is a conventional umbrella dewatering device of this type having a structure as shown in FIG. That is, 1 is an umbrella receiver body whose upper opening opens in a morning glory shape (funnel shape), and a porous plate 3 is provided on the inner side surface of this umbrella receiver body 1 with a gap 2 for ventilation. Installed. 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 property such as cotton cloth and seine leather is additionally provided.

The lower end opening of the umbrella receiver body 1 is connected via a duct 5 to an intake casing 7 containing a sirocco fan 6 therein. 8 is a motor for driving the sirocco fan 6, 9 and 10 are a drain port and an exhaust port provided in the intake casing 7,
Reference numeral 11 is a rain umbrella having an umbrella cloth 12, and 13 is an umbrella receiver into which the rain umbrella 11 is inserted.

The conventional umbrella dewatering device has the above-mentioned 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 morning glory-shaped umbrella receiver 13 into a negative pressure state.
When the wet umbrella 11 is inserted into the umbrella receiver 13, the wet umbrella cloth 12 is absorbed by the negative pressure action.
The water of the umbrella cloth 12 is adhered to the water absorbent sheet 4 to be absorbed by the water absorbing sheet 4, and the rainwater attached to the umbrella cloth 12 is directly removed. The water absorbed by the water absorbent sheet 4 is sucked by the driving force of the fan 6 and discharged to the outside of the umbrella dehydrator.

[0005]

However, when attempting to dehydrate a wet umbrella using such a conventional umbrella dewatering device, the wet umbrella 11 is placed in a funnel-shaped umbrella receiver 13. It is expected to be dehydrated by inserting it in a random manner and absorbing water by the water-absorbing sheet 4, but since a fold is generated on the budted umbrella, the weight surface of this fold impairs the close contact with the water-absorbing sheet 4, Due to this, there is a problem that the efficiency of removing raindrops attached to the umbrella cloth 12 is low.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made by paying attention to such a conventional problem, and a rain umbrella inserted into the inside of the funnel-shaped umbrella receiver inside the umbrella receiver. The umbrella receiver is rotatably supported, and the umbrella receiver inserted between the umbrella receiver and the blower means for imparting a rotational force to the umbrella receiver. It is an object of the present invention to provide an umbrella dewatering device having a structure in which a rain umbrella inserted therein is rotated in an umbrella receiver to enhance the efficiency of removing moisture adhering to the surface of the umbrella cloth.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, reference numeral 21 denotes a funnel-shaped umbrella receiver body having an opening on the upper side in the shape of a bosh,
On the inner peripheral surface of the umbrella receiver body 21, a gap 22 for ventilation is provided.
A porous curved plate 23 is provided integrally with the umbrella receiver main body 21 at a distance. Further, on the inner peripheral surface of the porous curved plate 23, a water absorbing sheet 24 made of a sheet material having excellent water absorbing property such as synthetic leather, chamois, and cotton cloth is additionally provided to form the umbrella receiver 20. Is.

Inside the lower end of the umbrella receiver 20, there is provided a rotary support 25 into which the top of the rain umbrella 11 inserted into the umbrella receiver 20 is inserted and which rotatably supports the rain umbrella 11. ing. This rotary support 25 is a bearing 26
The rotary table 27 for supporting the rain umbrella 11 is configured to be freely rotatable.

An air duct 29 having a drainage port 28 is connected to the lower end of the gap 22, and a sirocco fan 31 driven by a motor 30 is arranged in the middle of the air duct 29.

Reference numeral 32 denotes a blower, and a blower duct 33 connected to the blower penetrates from the outside of the umbrella receiver 20 toward the inside and blows air in the tangential direction of the inside of the umbrella receiver 20. A plurality of air nozzles 34 for connecting the air nozzles are connected. Reference numeral 35 denotes a switch which is pushed by the stone butt 36 of the rain umbrella 11 inserted into the umbrella receiver 20 and drives the motor 30 and the blower 32.

The structure of the present embodiment has been described above. Next, the operation thereof will be described. First, when the rain umbrella 11 is inserted into the umbrella receiver 20, the switch 35 is closed by the ston 36 of the rain umbrella 11, and As a result, the blower 32 and the motor 30 are alternately driven at intervals of about 1 to 2 seconds, and blowing and moisture absorption are alternately repeated.

That is, tangential air is blown from each air nozzle 34 between the inner surface of the umbrella receiver 20 and the umbrella cloth 12 of the rain umbrella inserted into the umbrella receiver 20 by driving the blower 32. The rain umbrella 11, which can rotate twice by the rotation support 25, rotates in the umbrella receiver 20, and the water attached to the inside of the folds of the umbrella cloth 12 drops from the umbrella cloth due to this rotating force.

When the operation of the blower 32 is continued for a few seconds, a timer (not shown) acts to stop the blower 32 and simultaneously drive the motor 30 to drive the sirocco fan 31 to cause a negative pressure inside the umbrella receiver 20. Becomes Due to this negative pressure action, the umbrella cloth 12 comes into close contact with the surface of the water absorbent sheet 24, whereby the water remaining on the umbrella cloth 12 is absorbed by the water absorbent sheet 24. The water adsorbed on the water absorbing sheet 24 is sucked by the negative pressure action of the sirocco fan 31, the water is discharged from the drain port 28, and the air is discharged from the open end of the air duct 29.

When this operation is continued for several seconds, the air blower 32 is driven again, and the above-mentioned water shake-off operation and water absorption operation are repeated a few times, during which the rain umbrella is completely dehydrated. is there.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, the rotary support 25, which is provided at the bottom of the umbrella receiver 20 formed in a funnel shape and supports the rain umbrella so that the umbrella can rotate, and the umbrella receiver. An air blower 32 for blowing air so as to impart a rotational force to the rain umbrella supported by the rotary support 25 between the inner surface and the rain umbrella 11 inserted into the umbrella receiver 20, and the umbrella receiver. Suction and drainage means 3 for sucking and removing the water absorbed in 20
1 is provided, and the blower means 32 and the suction / drainage means 31 are alternately operated to blow air into the umbrella receiver 20 and the umbrella receiver 20.
According to this, the rain umbrella inserted into the umbrella receiver 20 is the rainwater umbrella attached to the umbrella cloth in order to be rotated first. The separation effect from the cloth is promoted and the moisture removal from the umbrella cloth becomes effective, and then the water absorption effect by the water absorbent sheet and the sirocco fan provides the effect that the water adhered to the rain umbrella can be dehydrated quickly and surely. To be
