For purposes of clarity, not every component can be called out in every drawing. There is now being described, by way of example, embodiments of various aspects of the utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

[0023] Figure 1 It is the structure schematic view of the umbrella storage structure shown in the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to better understand the technical content of the utility model, specific embodiments are described as follows with the aid of accompanying drawings.

[0025] As Figure 1The utility model discloses a first aspect shows umbrella storage structure, including shell, electric heating fan 20, cover 30 and drain pipe 40, the shell is used for placing umbrella, blows into hot air in the shell through electric heating fan 20, through the action of hot air current to the umbrella in the shell is dried, and the moisture is discharged through drain pipe 40 in the shell, and this storage structure has the advantages of ventilation and heating.

[0026] In optional embodiments, the shell comprises a first shell 11 and a second shell 12, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are fixed to each other and form a longitudinal accommodating groove 101 with one end open.

[0027] The longitudinal accommodating groove 101 can be used to place longer umbrellas or shorter folding umbrellas.

[0028] In optional embodiments, longer accommodating grooves 101 are arranged on part of the doors, and shorter accommodating grooves 101 are arranged on part of the doors, for example, three short accommodating grooves 101 and one long accommodating groove 101 are arranged on four doors to meet different needs.

[0029] Preferably, the first shell 11 and the second shell are made of recycled materials and are injection molded and fixed together by ultrasonic welding technology, which has the advantages of low cost and environmental protection.

[0030] The accommodating groove 101 is inclined upward at the opening, and a drain pipe 40 is arranged at the lowest part of the shell, the first end of the drain pipe 40 communicates with the accommodating groove 101, and the second end is connected to the drainage system of the vehicle.

[0031] In this way, the umbrellas in the accommodating groove 101 are affected by gravity, and rainwater is collected in the drain pipe 40 and discharged outside the vehicle.

[0032] It can be understood that the bottom of the door is usually provided with a drain hole, and the drain pipe 40 can be introduced into the channel connected to the drain hole.

[0033] Further, the second shell 12 is located below the first shell 11, and the bottom wall of the second shell 12 is provided with a flow guide groove 121. In this way, when the rainwater collects at the bottom of the second shell 12, it is not easy to stick to the surface of the umbrella, and can be quickly drained through the flow guide groove 121.

[0034] In optional embodiments, the outer wall of the second shell 12 is provided with a connecting piece, which can be connected to the door structure of the vehicle by ultrasonic welding or threaded connection.

[0035] In optional embodiments, the accommodating groove 101 is configured as a cylindrical cavity.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, the accommodating groove 101 can also be configured as a conical frustum cavity, wherein the diameter of the accommodating groove 101 gradually increases towards the placing hole 31, so as to better adapt to the outer contour shape of the folding umbrella.

[0037] In other embodiments, the accommodating groove 101 can also be designed as other cross-sectional shapes, but the overall length is kept long, so that the hot air blown by the electric air blower 20 can pass through the surface of the umbrella well.

[0038] Further, the angle between the axis of the accommodating groove 101 and the horizontal plane is greater than 10°. If the accommodating groove 101 is arranged horizontally, it is not conducive to the drainage of rainwater in the accommodating groove 101, and it is also not conducive to the stability of the umbrella after being placed.

[0039] Further, the electric air blower 20 is connected to the shell and is used to blow air into the accommodating groove 101, the cover 30 is connected to the shell and is located at the open end of the accommodating groove 101, the cover 30 is provided with a placing hole 31, and the placing hole 31 is in communication with the accommodating groove 101.

[0040] Optionally, the placing hole 31 is always in an open state, so that the inside of the accommodating groove 101 is not closed, and the rainwater inside can be continuously drained by keeping ventilation, thereby avoiding mildew and odor.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the electric air blower 20 includes a fan and an electric heating structure arranged in front of the fan, and the fan is arranged above the accommodating groove 101 and blows air into the accommodating groove 101.

[0042] In this way, the fan blows air from top to bottom, which helps to blow the rainwater on the surface of the umbrella into the accommodating groove 101.

[0043] Further, the fan is arranged at a position close to the placing hole 31 of the accommodating groove 101, and the blowing direction of the fan is towards the inside of the accommodating groove 101. In this way, the hot air blown has a larger contact area with the surface of the umbrella, and the drying effect on the umbrella can be improved.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the power of the electric air blower 20 is 60W, and the noise is 30 decibels. The operating power and noise of the motor are small, and the energy saving is better and the rest of the passengers is not affected.

[0045] The second aspect of the utility model provides a kind of technical scheme, a kind of car, including above-mentioned umbrella storage structure, umbrella storage structure is arranged on the door of car any one or all.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, after the umbrella is placed in the accommodating groove 101, the passenger enters the vehicle to start the vehicle, and the corresponding air blower motor on the screen is started to dry the umbrella.

[0047] In combination with the above embodiments, the umbrella storage structure has one end of the containing groove open and the other end connected with a drain pipe, water can be drained by gravity after the umbrella is put in, and since it is a non-closed structure, mildew and peculiar smell can be avoided, the hot air blown by the electric heating fan can accelerate the drying of the moisture on the surface of the umbrella, passengers can quickly use the dry umbrella, the operation noise of the electric heating fan is small and will not affect the rest of the passengers, and the use experience of the user is improved.

[0048] Although the utility model has disclosed as above with preferred embodiments, it is not used to limit the utility model. Those skilled in the art to which the utility model belongs can make various changes and decorations without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model shall be defined by the claims.
