Description

Apparatus for automatically removing water covering an umbrella}

The present invention relates to an automatic umbrella bite remover, and more particularly to an automatic umbrella bite remover that can easily remove the water contained in the umbrella in a short time.

In general, when rain enters the room with umbrellas wet in the rain, the rain falls on the floor and becomes dirty and slippery. In particular, in places with a large number of floating populations, such as department stores, people often suffer from slipping injuries due to rainwater accumulated on the indoor floor.

For the purpose of supplementing this problem, people such as department stores are currently using a method of covering the umbrella with a plastic cover to prevent rain from falling in close places. However, when the vinyl cover is used, the used vinyl cover is disposed of without recycling, and in this process, serious harmful substances are generated to contribute to environmental pollution. In addition, new plastic covers have to be reproduced, which is a financial waste.

To compensate for this, a device for removing the moisture of the umbrella is known in the art. First, Utility Model Registration No. 1996-8736, issued to Shin Young Doo on October 9, 1996, discloses an umbrella rainwater remover.

The umbrella rainwater remover supplies hot air while the umbrella is inserted, and at the same time, sucks air by a vacuum motor pump, removes moisture from the umbrella, and collects it in the water tank. However, since the umbrella rainwater remover is large in size and generates hot air to remove moisture, it is difficult to remove moisture in a few seconds.

In addition, the motor 31 is electrically connected to the first sensor 16 and is driven by receiving a signal transmitted from the first sensor 16. An arrangement structure between the pulley 32 and the motor 31 will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 4B.

Next, the collection chamber 40 is isolated in the body 10 with the driving chamber 30 and the second partition plate 36 interposed therebetween. The central portion of the second plate 36 at a position corresponding to the drain pipe 34 is opened so that water drained through the drain pipe 34 is stored in the sump 41.

A second sensor 42 is attached to the bottom surface of the collecting chamber 40 to detect the amount of water stored in the collecting container 41. However, the position where the second sensor 42 is attached is not limited to the bottom surface of the water collecting chamber 40 and may be any position where the amount of water stored in the water collecting container 41 can be sensed. In addition, a warning device 422 is attached to a predetermined position outside the body 10 to generate a warning sound by receiving a signal transmitted from the second sensor 42. In this embodiment, the warning device 422 is attached to the body ( 10) is attached to the upper surface.

4 is a plan sectional view taken along the line A-A of FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, an accommodating space 50, which is indicated by a dotted line, is provided near the center of the inside of the body 10, and three shafts 21 spaced apart at regular intervals around the accommodating space 50. Are provided. These rods 21 are arranged approximately in triangular shape in that they efficiently use the space in the body 10. However, it can be arranged in various compositions depending on the number of the rod 21.

A plurality of soles 22 are fixed to the outer circumferential surface of each shaft 21 in a radial manner. As described above, the brushes 22 preferably have a length extending to a part of the interior of the accommodating space 50 in order to contact the umbrella inserted into the accommodating space 50.

In addition, one side of the body 10 is provided with an outlet connected to the receiving space 50, one side of the body 10 provided with the outlet is provided with a door 17 capable of automatic filling.

FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing a driving device of the shaft of FIG. 4. FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the pulleys 32 fixedly attached to one end of the shaft bar 21 of FIG. 4 and transmitting the rotational force to the shaft bar 21 21 of FIG. 4 are layout views of the shaft bar 21 shown in FIG. 4. The accommodating space 50 is centered so as to correspond to and is disposed in a substantially triangular sphere to include the accommodating space 50.

The motor 31 is arranged around the pulley 32 arranged in a triangular sphere, and the motor 31 and the pulleys 32 are connected by a belt 33. As a result, power generated by the motor 31 is smoothly transmitted to the pulley 32 through the belt 33.

At this time, by appropriately changing the connection position of the belt 33 connecting the motor 31 and the pulley 32 to make the rotation direction of the pulley 32 clockwise or counterclockwise, or clockwise and counterclockwise Can be mixed.

6 is a plan sectional view taken along the line B-B in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the guide plates 14 for guiding the drainage of the removed water are provided to be inclined downward toward the center to each inner wall surface of the body 10, and in the vicinity of the center, horizontally with the free end of the guide plate 14. A drain plate 15 is provided to which it is connected. In addition, through holes 144 are formed around the drain plate 15.

Figure 7 is a schematic diagram showing the arrangement of the shaft according to a modified embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, an accommodation space 150 is provided near the center of the body 110, and two shafts 121 are provided to the left and right of the accommodation space 150. Since other configurations are the same as those of the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 4, description thereof will be omitted.

According to the structure of the present invention described above, when the user inserts the umbrella in the accommodation space 50, at the same time the first sensor 16 is attached to a predetermined position of the circumferential plate 13 provided on the upper portion of the body 10 Detects the insertion of an umbrella. Then, the sensed signal is transmitted to the motor 31 provided in the driving chamber 30 to operate the motor 31. The motor 31 rotates the pulley 32 which is fixedly attached to one end of each shaft 21 through the belt 33. Thus, the shafts 21 rotate and at the same time a plurality of brushes 22 are fixedly attached to the shaft 21 to remove the moisture of the inserted umbrella. At this time, the removed water is guided along the guide plate 14 is passed through the drain plate 15 and the drain pipe 34 is stored in the sump (41). The user may take out the water-removed umbrella through the upper portion of the door 17 or the receiving space 50 provided in the body 10. It takes about 3 to 4 seconds for the user to insert the umbrella, remove the water, and take the umbrella out again. After the above-described process several times, if water is stored in the sump 41 by a certain amount, the second sensor 42 detects this and transmits the detected signal to the warning device 422 to generate a warning sound. The second sensor 42 may selectively detect the amount of water stored or selectively detect only a state in which a certain amount of water is stored.

Although the automatic description of the umbrella bite remover of the present invention has been described above with reference to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, various modifications and changes of the present invention are made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the claims below. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this can be done.

According to the automatic umbrella bite remover of the present invention, the water on the umbrella can be easily removed within a short time.

Moreover, since the apparatus is not large in size, it can be easily installed in a suitable position in a place with many floating populations, such as a department store.

In addition, because the price of the device is cheaper than the conventional automatic umbrella bite remover is much more economical and can be relatively widespread.

In addition, by not using the vinyl cover can solve the problem of environmental pollution due to the disposal of the vinyl cover after use.
