Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of umbrella arranging machines, in particular to an umbrella arranging robot for semi-automatic umbrellas. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the times, the market demand for smart homes is becoming increasingly huge. In addition, the arrival of summer has brought us into the rainy season with abundant rainfall, especially in the southern region. It rains almost every three days, and you may need to use an umbrella many times in a day. After using an umbrella, it is a headache to organize the umbrella. It will take up a lot of space to open the umbrella directly. It will not be easy to dry the umbrella if it is folded up. The umbrella surface is easy to mold and the keel is easy to rust. In addition, it is easy to leave water stains on the ground when the umbrella is brought directly into the room after use, especially on wooden boards, tiles, and smooth cement floors. There are safety hazards that can easily cause people to slip. After the umbrella is dried, if it is not organized, the overall umbrella is not beautiful enough, and it takes up space, which affects people's carrying when they go out next time, especially when the umbrella is put into a storage container. However, the organization of the umbrella takes time. It is necessary to sort out the original wrinkles on the umbrella surface, smooth the unnecessary wrinkles, and finally fold the umbrella surface neatly.

[0038] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the user puts in the umbrella, turns on the switch, and the umbrella handle positioning rod 19 rotates, driving the umbrella handle that may be offset to return to the center position and constrain it to the center position. The stepper motor 8 rotates, the pull rope 38 stretches, and the movable platform 37 moves upward under the action of the tension spring, driving the clamping unit to move, so as to achieve the clamping of the umbrella by the clamping claw. The heating plate 12 of the bottom drying system is heated, and the bottom fan 10 blows air. The wind along the inclined air duct of the bottom fan guide air duct 11 is easier to reach the bottom center that is difficult to dry. After the humidity sensor detects that the humidity value reaches the standard, the heating plate 12 and the bottom fan 10 stop working. The top fan 15 blows air first, so that the umbrella surface can be in an open posture, to prevent the blower 13 from blowing the umbrella surface crooked directly due to excessive wind force, resulting in the failure to achieve a good umbrella surface wrinkle arrangement effect, and then the blower 13 works to flatten the folds of the umbrella and blow the umbrella surface into its original shape. At the same time, the DC motor 6 works to drive the umbrella to rotate, so that every part of the umbrella surface can be blown. The DC motor 6 works, driving the second flange 26 and the second synchronous pulley 25 to rotate, driving the umbrella to rotate clockwise, cooperating with the counterclockwise rotation of the blades 22, so that the space between the blades 22 is continuously closed. When the set angle is reached, the blade servo 21 stops rotating, and the umbrella continues to rotate for a certain period of time before stopping. The stepper motor 8 drives the winding wheel 9 to reverse, the pull rope 38 is tightened, and the clamp 32 is driven to release the umbrella. The user opens the box cover, slightly pulls out the umbrella, and tightens the Velcro to take out the umbrella.

[0039] The utility model is applicable to most common foldable umbrellas on the market.
