Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an umbrella dryer using a jet blade,

The present invention relates to an automatic umbrella dryer using a jet blade technology capable of removing rainwater and drying it when the umbrella is folded and inserted before entering the room.

Generally, an umbrella is a product that spreads on the body when raining and shields rainwater. In addition to these umbrellas, rain boots are often used, but in most cases, umbrellas are used outdoors.

After using the umbrella, when entering and leaving the room, the umbrella is folded, and the user manually rains the rainwater and then enters the room. In this case, the folded umbrella is left with a lot of rainwater, so rainwater falls from the umbrella when the time passes, and the floor of the room is contaminated. The rainwater on the floor may slip when the pedestrian step on it, causing safety accidents and the like.

For this reason, most of the time, in the case of rain, equipment for supplying vinyl to buildings or building entrances is currently available. The vinyl is made in the form of a long bag so that the umbrella can be stored inside. The present inventors have found that vinyl can be continuously supplied in two lengths depending on the length of the umbrella. This umbrella feeder inserts the end of the umbrella into the opened vinyl inlet, pulls it horizontally in that state, and the vinyl escapes with the umbrella from the equipment, and the next vinyl waits with the entrance open. On the other hand, when going outside, the umbrella user removes the vinyl from the umbrella along with the rainwater and uses the umbrella again.

Such an umbrella supply machine is used in most buildings due to its quickness and convenience, because the user of the umbrella can put the umbrella into the vinyl in a matter of seconds and then move directly to the room.

However, in the case of using the umbrella vinyl feeder, since one umbrella is consumed per vinyl, a lot of stripped vinyl is generated at the time of rain, and such generation of waste vinyl causes environmental pollution.

Instead, an umbrella dryer has been developed for discharging air from an umbrella. However, since the umbrella dryer can not exhibit satisfactory performance due to its umbrella shape or characteristics, it is rarely used.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 8, the automatic umbrella dryer using the jet blade technology according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a case body 10, a guide duct 16, and a control module 30 .

1 to 7, the case body 10 is provided with an umbrella receiving space 10a having a predetermined space for accommodating an umbrella therein, and the umbrella receiving space 10a, The nozzles 11a and 12a for discharging the air can be formed.

3 to 6, the umbrella receiving space 10a of the case body 10 includes front and rear surfaces 11 and 12 formed in parallel with the umbrella when the umbrella is inserted, Two side walls 13 and 14 having different heights at which the umbrella is hooked so that the water is dispersed and dried, and a lower surface 15 having drain holes 15a so that rainwater can be drained.

At this time, the case body 10 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and is formed in a substantially cuboid shape in a shape cut out to be able to insert an umbrella in a vertically downward direction substantially in the middle of the upper portion of the case body 10 .

At this time, the umbrella input space portion 10a is formed to have a height different from that of the front surface 11 and the rear surface 12, which form the front and rear surfaces 11 and 12 which are positioned in parallel with the umbrella, And a slightly inclined bottom surface 15 formed with drain holes 15a. Of course, the upper portion of the umbrella insertion space 10a is opened to allow the umbrella to be inserted. When the umbrella is tilted, the rainwater is injected into the umbrella input space portion 10a, and when the rainwater is dispersed and dried by the air discharge of the nozzles 11a and 12a, the rainwater splashes away from the person, It is possible to dry umbrella more conveniently and securely because the splash is blocked from the source.

4, the upper end portion of the umbrella receiving space 10a starts to be slightly shifted from the middle to the side, but the lower end portion is formed at a substantially middle portion.

At this time, the upper end of the side walls 13 and 14 is formed in a similar arc shape to that of the umbrella when the umbrella is inserted.

3, the nozzles 11a and 12a may be formed in a slot shape on the front and rear surfaces 11 and 12 so as to discharge air in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the umbrella.

Here, as another embodiment, the nozzles 11a and 12a may have a plurality of discharge holes on the front and rear surfaces so as to discharge air in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the umbrella, . That is, a plurality of holes may be formed by a slot length instead of a slot.

The nozzles 11a and 12a are formed in a slot shape at a right angle with respect to the umbrella length direction, whereby high-speed air is discharged in the lower direction of the folded umbrella.

Referring to FIG. 6, the nozzles 11a and 12a may be formed to discharge air in an inclined direction of the umbrella.

At this time, referring to FIG. 3, a sensor 20 for checking whether or not an umbrella is inserted may be provided at the upper end of the umbrella input space portion 10a. For example, the sensor 20 may be provided with an infrared ray transmitter 20 on the front surface of the umbrella receiving space 10a and an infrared ray receiver 20 on the rear surface thereof.

At this time, although three sensors 20 are provided, it is needless to say that the position and the number may be different depending on the required shape and angle.

3 and 7, the drain hole 15a is formed to be close to the lower side wall 14 of the two side walls 13 and 14, The surface 15 may be inclined to be inclined toward the drain hole 15a.

By forming the inclination in this manner, the rainwater can be discharged to the outside through the drain hole 15a, the drain pipe 15b inside the case body 10, or collected in the drain pan 40. [ This is because the umbrella dryer 1 is usually installed outside the entrance of the building, so that the umbrella dryer 1 can be simply discharged to the outside without providing the drain pan 40.

6, the guide duct 16 is provided with a fan 221 driven by a motor 222 inside the case body 10, and is driven by the air pressure generated by the fan 221, And guides the air to be discharged to the nozzles 11a and 12a along the flow path 16a.

At this time, the fan 221 is installed below the motor 222 to use the waste heat of the motor 222.

4, the guide duct 16 installed in the case body 10 is Y-shaped and hollow inside the umbrella receiving space 10a, and a motor 222 Is installed.

A fan 221 installed at the bottom of the guide duct 16 is installed in the guide duct 16 and a motor 222 is installed at the upper end of the fan 221 to rotationally drive the fan 221. And a soundproof cover 223 installed at the upper end of the motor 222 for reducing noise caused by the flow of the air fluid.

At this time, the motor 222 is fixedly installed in the guide duct 16 by the support stand 224. That is, when the motor 221 is driven to rotate, the fan 221 rotates with a super-strong force, and thus the central portion of the fan 221 is in a vacuum state. When the motor 221 and the sound- To the nozzles 11a and 12a. At this time, the outside air is heated to a predetermined temperature by the waste heat generated as the motor 222 rotates, and is discharged to the nozzles 11a and 12a.

6, the soundproof lid 223 is composed of first and second circular plates 223a and 223b, and a plurality of holes are formed in the first and second circular plates 223a and 223b . At this time, the first circular plate 223a and the second circular plate 223b are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in the guide duct 16 such that holes are opposed to each other. This is because the air flow passing through the motor 222 by the rotation of the fan 221 passes through the hole formed in the first circular plate 223a and then passes through the hole of the second circular plate 233b opposite to the hole So as to reduce the noise due to the movement of air by forming a path to be provided to the nozzles 11a and 12a.

Here, a rubber soundproof pad may be attached to the inside of the guide duct 16 to prevent noise generated by driving the motor 222.

At this time, the fan 221, the motor 222, and the soundproof lid 223 form an air supply unit 22 for supplying air to the nozzles 11a and 12a.

As shown in FIG. 7, the control module 30 includes a sensor driving block 31 for driving and controlling the sensor 13, and a control unit 30 for driving the motor 222 based on information applied from the sensor driving block 31. [ A display control block 33 for display control of the display, and a power supply control block 34 for supplying power to each device.

At this time, the sensor driving block 31 determines that the umbrella is put into the umbrella input space 11 when a high level sensing signal is not received from the infrared receiver 20, for example, The control signal is transmitted to the driving block 32, the display control block 33 and the power control block 34. When the detection signal is received from the infrared receiver 132 in a state where the high level sensing signal is not received, Signal to the motor drive block 32 and the display control block 33. [ For example, the sensor 13 may include three pairs of IR transmitters 131 and 132 as shown in FIG. 4. The sensor drive block 31 includes a pair of IR transmitters 131 and 132, It is determined that the umbrella is located in the umbrella insertion space 10a.

At this time, the motor drive block 32 controls the power supply to the motor 222 through the power supply control block 34 based on the operation control signal applied from the sensor drive block 31, And controls power supply to the motor 222 through the rear power control block 34 to be cut off. At this time, if a driving stop signal is applied from the sensor driving block 31 within a predetermined time after power is supplied to the motor 222, the power supply to the motor 222 is controlled to be cut off.

At this time, the display control block 33 drives the display to emit light based on the operation control signal applied from the sensor driving block 31. For example, the display may include five LEDs. The display control block 33 drives all the five LEDs based on reception of the operation control signal, and sequentially drives the LEDs at intervals of several seconds .

At this time, the power control block 34 may be configured to automatically shut off power supply to each device when the hand dryer is torn or moisture is detected, thereby preventing a safety accident in advance.

The operation of the umbrella dryer 1 according to the present invention constructed as above will be described.

First, the automatic umbrella dryer 1 using the jet blade technology is installed outside the entrance of the building.

The umbrella user folds the umbrella before entering the building. The folded state of the umbrella is as shown in Fig.

The umbrella user inserts the umbrella into the umbrella input space portion 10a so as to be supported by the two side walls 13 and 14 as shown in Fig. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the umbrella is supported in a tilted state.

When the umbrella is inserted into the umbrella insertion space 10a, it is sensed that the umbrella is inserted by the sensor 20, and this is transmitted to the control module 30.

The control module 30 confirms that the umbrella is inserted and drives the motor 222 so that the display is displayed on the display.

After the external air is sucked by the operation of the motor 222 and then moved along the guide duct 16, air is discharged to the umbrella through the nozzles 11a and 12a.

At this time, since the nozzles 11a and 12a are formed in a slot shape perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the umbrella, the air is precisely injected onto the surface of the umbrella to be dried.

2, it is preferable that the user moves the umbrella back and forth while rotating the umbrella in the left and right directions to evenly dry the umbrella.

By this air discharge, the rainwater on the surface of the umbrella is separated and dispersed, and the drying is performed.

In the case of an umbrella, the size of the umbrella is much larger than that of a hand dryer, and the amount of rainwater is much larger, so that it takes more time to complete drying.

When the user stops the air discharge from the nozzles 11a, 12a over time, the umbrella is taken out of the umbrella input space portion 10a and enters the building interior.

Meanwhile, another embodiment of the automatic umbrella dryer using the jet blade technology according to the present invention is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, there is a difference in that a plurality of rollers 117 are further included in the previous embodiment. That is, it may further include a plurality of rollers 117 guiding the umbrella in a slanted state between the two side walls 13, 14 so that the umbrella is prevented from entering the umbrella insertion space 10a have.

At this time, the plurality of rollers 117 may be made of a rubber material rotatably installed on the inner surface of the roller frame. The roller frame is formed as a shaft having both ends fixed to the front surface 11 and the rear surface 12 of the umbrella receiving space 10a.

By providing the plurality of rollers 117 in this manner, when the umbrella is inclined less than the original inclination angle, the end of the umbrella is caught by the side wall 14 to prevent inconvenience.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
