Description

Eco-friendly centrifugal umbrella dehydrator{ECO-FRIENDLY CENTRIFUGAL DEHYDRATOR}

The present invention relates to an umbrella drying apparatus, and more particularly, the air blown from a blowing fan is blown between the fabrics of a wet umbrella, while repelling moisture from the wet umbrella and automatically rotating the umbrella by blowing air from various directions. It relates to an umbrella drying device that can effectively dry the umbrella by making it.

In general, in rainy weather, most umbrella users enter indoor spaces such as hotels, department stores, schools, shopping malls and office buildings without completely removing moisture from wet umbrellas.

So, rainwater attached to the umbrella falls from the umbrella to the indoor floor or stairs, and such rainwater makes the indoor floor slippery and causes an accident such as a pedestrian fall, and such accidents occur on the stairs, etc. In some cases, it can lead to very fatal accidents. In addition, rainwater that has fallen on the floor is mixed with various contaminants from pedestrians' shoes and contaminates the indoor floor, making it difficult to manage cleanliness.

Accordingly, the entrance of the building is provided with an umbrella box for always storing an umbrella in rainy weather, or a disposable vinyl umbrella cover supply device to carry the umbrella.

At this time, in order to prevent the fear of loss of an umbrella in advance, a vinyl umbrella cover is mainly used.In the umbrella vinyl supply device, dozens of plastic bags are set on the object to hold a long or short umbrella (folding umbrella). Make sure you can carry it in a plastic bag.

However, if the umbrella cover is left in a plastic bag for a long time due to rainwater remaining on the umbrella cloth, rainwater seeps into the umbrella cloth and corrodes the umbrella's ribs. When the umbrella is reused, rainwater forms on the inner surface of the umbrella cloth There is a problem in that part of the body gets wet.

In addition, since the umbrella vinyl supply device generates a large amount of wet disposable vinyl covers after use, considerable effort is required to dispose of them, and the consumption amount is also costly to use as a single use, and causes environmental pollution in the waste disposal part. It is causing.

Therefore, there is a need for a device capable of effectively removing rainwater attached to an umbrella, and two methods are largely exemplified as such devices.

One of the two methods is a method using an adsorption pad or a rubber pad, which is a rainwater removal device for an umbrella such as inserting and scraping off a specific shape of an adsorption pad or rubber pad to remove rainwater from the umbrella. However, such a rainwater removal device simply removes rainwater and does not remove moisture absorbed by the fabric of the umbrella, and there is a problem that the fabric of the umbrella is easily torn or damaged. In addition, another problem is that when the absorption pad or rubber pad attached to the device for absorbing rain reaches a state where it is completely wet and cannot absorb moisture any more, the device will no longer function properly and the person There is a discomfort in that it is possible to perform the intended function only when the wet pad is directly replaced with a dry pad.

The other of the two methods is a technology related to a device for drying rainwater attached to an umbrella or removing rainwater from the umbrella by using wind. As one of these technologies, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1235127 is used as an example. Can be lifted.

The umbrella drying device of Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1235127 is an inverted cone-shaped drying room in which the entire umbrella can be inserted, a storage room in which rainwater accumulates under the drying room, a blower fan that generates wind supplied to the drying room, and the wind caused by the blowing fan It consists of an air line that guides (air flow) to the drying room.

When an umbrella is inserted into the drying room of the umbrella drying device having the above configuration, the wind from the blowing fan flows into the drying room and the umbrella is dried. During the umbrella drying process, rainwater that flows down from the umbrella is collected in the storage chamber below the drying room.

However, the rainwater drying device such as No. 10-1235127 is more complex than necessary, such as having both a drying room and a water storage room inside the umbrella drying device, which increases the volume of the device and increases the cost required for the implementation and maintenance of the device. There is a problem of becoming.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings to the extent that those of ordinary skill in the art can easily implement the present invention.

In describing the embodiments, descriptions of technical contents that are well known in the technical field to which the present invention pertains and are not directly related to the present invention will be omitted. This is to more clearly convey the gist of the present invention by omitting unnecessary description.

For the same reason, some components in the accompanying drawings are exaggerated, omitted, or schematically illustrated. In addition, the size of each component does not fully reflect the actual size. The same reference numerals are assigned to the same or corresponding components in each drawing.

1 is a perspective view showing an eco-friendly centrifugal umbrella dehydrator according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2 shows a photograph of an umbrella inserted in the eco-friendly centrifugal umbrella dehydrator according to an embodiment of the present invention. have.

As shown in Fig. 1, the eco-friendly centrifugal umbrella dehydrator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base 10, a control unit 30, a blower 50, a ring-shaped guide 60, and a handle guide 70. It is made including.

FIG. 2 shows a picture taken in a state in which an umbrella is inserted in the eco-friendly centrifugal umbrella dehydrator 100.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the ring-shaped guide 60 is not completely circular, and the lower left portion is not connected with reference to Fig. 1. This is to make it easier to place the umbrella in the eco-friendly centrifugal umbrella dehydrator 100 when temporarily mounting or removing the umbrella. Likewise, it can be seen that the handle guide 70 is also configured to open and close the surface in the same direction, making it easier to position the handle of the umbrella.

The handle guide 70 includes a guide body 71, a guide door 73, and a hinge 75, thereby opening the guide door 73 when placing the umbrella in the eco-friendly centrifugal umbrella dehydrator 100 and the handle of the umbrella. After placing the part on the handle guide (70), the guide door (73) can be closed.

In addition, as a configuration for keeping the guide door 73 closed, a clasp 77 and a clasp 79 are added. At this time, the clasp 79 is added on the outer surface of the guide door 73, and the clasp 77 is a part of the clasp 79 when the clasp 79 is rotated among the outer surfaces of the guide body 71 It is installed in a position where the guide door 73 can be held closed by the 77.

In implementing the handle guide 70, as shown in FIG. 1, implementing a cylindrical shape (including a hollow) may allow the umbrella to rotate more naturally according to the operation of the blower 50 after mounting the umbrella. . In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, since the handle guide 70 is implemented in a square column shape (including a hollow), care should be taken not to confuse this.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, three blowers 50 are installed on the upper surface of the base 10 to form a triangular shape. Here, the exact meaning of'the blower 50 is installed to form a triangle' means that the center of the upper end 59 of each blower 50 is connected to the center of the upper end 59 of the blower 50 adjacent to each other by a virtual line. When three line segments are formed, it means that these three line segments form a triangle.

Here, there is no need to limit the number of blowers 50 to three must be installed. When the wind is discharged from the blower 50, the umbrella temporarily mounted in the eco-friendly centrifugal umbrella dehydrator 100 rotates by this wind, and the optimal number of blowers 50 for inducing the rotation of the umbrella is 3 Since it is determined that it is an individual, it shows an embodiment in which three blowers 50 are installed, and it is only described based on that. It can be said that it is natural that the number of blowers 50 may vary according to embodiments.

As described above, in the case where the number of the blowers 50 is different, the arrangement of the blowers 50 may be understood as being installed at a predetermined angle radially around the base hole 15. In a typical embodiment, the plurality of blowers 50 are'installed at a certain angle apart', but the blowers 50 may not necessarily be'installed at a certain angle apart' depending on an embodiment for a special purpose.

As described above, since the three blowers 50 are installed to form a triangle on the base 10, the blowers 50 are formed on the outer side of each blower 50 and rotated by the impeller (not shown) inside the blower. ) Each blower 50 should be installed so that the discharge port 55 that blows air toward the outside and causes the wind to face the inside direction of the triangle.

In addition, around the discharge port 55 formed on one side of the blower 50, a discharge guide 57 guiding the direction of the air flow blown out of the blower 50 is formed to protrude toward the outside of the blower 50. do.

In addition, depending on the embodiment, the direction in which the discharge guide 57 is directed may be fixed, or the direction in which the discharge guide 57 is directed may be adjusted.

Here, an example in which the discharge guide 57 is embodied in a form capable of adjusting the direction in which it is directed will be described,

The discharge guide 57 is made of a material that can temporarily maintain the state by applying a force to the discharge guide 57 to maintain the state and bending it in another direction to change the direction in which the discharge guide 57 faces. By forming a method of allowing the direction in which the discharge guide 57 is directed can be arbitrarily adjusted as necessary,

There is a method of adding a hinge to a portion where the discharge guide 57 and the blower 50 are connected so that the angle of the discharge guide 57 with respect to the blower 50 can be arbitrarily adjusted.

By implementing the eco-friendly centrifugal umbrella dehydrator 100 in a form including the above-described methods or other methods that allow the direction of the discharge guide 57 to be adjusted, umbrella drying efficiency can be improved.

In addition, a base hole 15 penetrating the base 10 is formed at a point on the base 10 that is at or near the center of the virtual triangle formed by the installation of the three blowers 50, so that the umbrella top can be inserted. Make it possible. In addition, the bearing 5 is installed on the bottom of the base 10 so as to communicate with the base hole 15 so that when the umbrella top is inserted into the base hole 15, the umbrella top is surrounded and temporarily fixed.

At this time, when the inner circumferential surface of the bearing 5 surrounds the top of the umbrella, it may be forced fit or loose fit. Since the fixing of the umbrella top using the bearing 5 is temporary or temporary, it may be either a forced fit or a loose fit.

In addition, referring to Figure 1, there is a wheel attached to the lower surface of the base 10, this wheel is for convenience of movement when using or storing the eco-friendly centrifugal umbrella dehydrator 100, the presence or absence of the wheel is technical of the present invention. Since it is not a part that affects the implementation and implementation of the idea, the presence or absence of a wheel can be considered to be irrelevant to the implementation of the present invention.

3 is for installing the base of the bearing 5, FIG. 3(a) shows the bearing 5 and the bearing fixture 9, and FIG. 3(b) shows the bearing on the bottom of the base 10. (5) shows the installed state. At this time, the bearing 5 is inserted and fixed in the bearing insertion hole 7 formed in the bearing fixing body 9, and the bearing fixing body 9 is fixed to the bottom surface of the base 10. It is installed on the bottom of 10).

Here, it should be noted that the hole included in the center of the bearing 5 must communicate with the base hole 15. By installing the bearing 5 so that the hole included in the center of the bearing 5 communicates with the base hole 15, the umbrella stem is inserted into the center hole of the base hole 15 and the bearing 5, and the blower 50 The umbrella is automatically rotated when it is operated to discharge air, so that it rotates smoothly.

In addition, referring to FIG. 1 or 2, a ring-shaped guide 60 having a part of a circle shape is coupled to the upper end of the blower 50, and the handle guide 70 is more than the ring-shaped guide 60 to the ring-shaped guide 60. It is installed to be located at the top.

Here, the role of the handle guide 70 is to limit the movement range of the handle portion of the umbrella when the umbrella stem is inserted into the base hole 15 and the bearing 5 and rotated to dry the umbrella. The main role of the ring-shaped guide 60 is to install the handle guide 70, and it also serves to limit the movement range of the umbrella fabric. The blower 50 is operated to rotate the umbrella, and in a situation where the fabric of the umbrella is fluttering, it serves to limit the range of movement so that the umbrella does not fall or the fabric of the umbrella is too disturbed.

In addition, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the control unit 30 is installed on a portion of the upper surface of the base 10 outside the triangle formed by the blower 50. In this case, the installation position of the control unit 30 is not necessarily limited to the upper surface of the base 10, and the control unit 30 may be installed on the lower surface of the base 10 or inside the base 10.

However, if the control unit 30 includes an operation switch of the blower 50 and requires manual operation, the control unit 30 must be installed on the upper surface of the base 10 to facilitate operation.

Here, the main function of the control unit 30 is to supply power to the blower 50 and control the operation of the blower 50.

In addition, a detection sensor capable of detecting whether an umbrella is inserted into the base hole 15 and the handle guide 70 is added, and when the detection result of each detection sensor is transmitted to the control unit 30, the control unit ( 30) may automatically control the operation of the blower 50 to cause the blower 50 to operate.

At this time, in the operation control of the blower 50 according to the detection result of the detection sensor, the detection signal of whether the umbrella is inserted by the detection sensor installed in the base hole 15 and the handle guide 70 was detected as'insertion' in both. It can be said that it is good to operate the blower 50 only in case.

It is natural that the blower 50 is not operated when the detection signal of whether the umbrella is inserted or not of the detection sensor installed in the base hole 15 and the handle guide 70 is detected as'non-insertion', and the base hole 15 ) And the handle guide 70, it is preferable to control so as not to operate the blower 50 when it is detected that the umbrella is inserted only in either one of both.

In addition, when the control unit 30 controls the operation of the blower 50, it is possible to simply perform ON/OFF control, and depending on the embodiment, it is configured to control the wind strength and direction by the blower 50. You may.

4 is a flow analysis diagram conducted on the assumption that the blower 50 of the eco-friendly centrifugal umbrella dehydrator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is operating, and three blowers 50 installed to form a triangle And it can be seen that a vortex is formed near the center of the triangle by the air discharged from the discharge port 57.

In this way, the eco-friendly centrifugal umbrella dehydrator 100 and the vortex airflow formed near the center of the triangle improves the dehydration and drying efficiency of the wet umbrella temporarily mounted and dried in the eco-friendly centrifugal umbrella dehydrator 100.

In addition, since the dried umbrella is automatically rotated, a separate power for rotating the umbrella is not required, and thus the cost of implementing the device is reduced.

Meanwhile, the present specification and drawings disclose preferred embodiments of the present invention, and although specific terms are used, these are merely used in a general meaning to easily explain the technical content of the present invention and to aid understanding of the present invention. It is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
