Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an air-cooled clothing fan for blowing air into the clothing body to provide air-cooling, and to an air-cooled clothing fitted with the fan. [Background technology]

[0002] A clothing fan that utilizes the heat of vaporization of water has been proposed as a clothing fan for cooling the garment by blowing air into the garment itself. Specifically, this type of air-cooled clothing blower comprises a fan case, a fan provided within the fan case, a motor for driving the fan, and a water evaporation means attached to at least one of the air intake side and air outlet side of the fan case. The water evaporation means further comprises a water evaporation case having an air inlet through which air flows in when the fan is driven and an air outlet through which the air flowing in from the air inlet flows out, and a water retention means provided within the water evaporation case. In other words, the water contained in the water retention means is vaporized by air driven by a fan, and the air whose temperature has been lowered by the heat of vaporization is supplied to the inside of the garment (for example, Patent Document 1 listed below).

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2019-199674 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the above-mentioned air-cooling clothing blower, the water contained in the water retention means is vaporized by air driven by a fan, and the air whose temperature has been lowered by the heat of vaporization is supplied to the inside of the clothing body, resulting in a high air-cooling effect. When supplying water to the water retention means, the water vaporization case is removed from the fan case, and water is poured over the water retention means or immersed in water, thereby replenishing water to the water retention means. After that, the water vaporizer case is attached to the fan case again, and the air that has been cooled by the heat of vaporization is supplied to the inside of the garment.

[0005] However, since there is a limit to the amount of water that can be held by the water retention means, it is necessary to frequently remove the water vaporization case from the fan case, replenish water to the water retention means, and then attach the water vaporization case to the fan case, which is extremely cumbersome for workers and makes it difficult to use. It is also possible to provide a water container in the garment itself and supply water from this container to the water retention means, but attaching a water container would require a water supply path from the water container to the water retention means, and a means for adjusting the amount of water supplied, which would complicate the configuration and increase the size of the device, making it difficult to use.

[0006] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE An object of the present invention is to improve usability by making it possible to easily supply water to the water retention means. [Means for solving the problem]

Furthermore, the air-cooled clothing blower of the present invention has an air inlet on one of the top and bottom surfaces of the water evaporation case and an air outlet on the other surface, and a first water dripping suppression section is provided on the inside of the outer peripheral surface of the water evaporation case. In addition, the air inlet and air outlet of the water evaporation case in the air-cooled clothing blower of the present invention are formed to an area inward beyond the outer periphery of the top or bottom surface of the water evaporation case in which they are formed, and a water dripping suppression section is formed by the space formed between the inside of the top surface or the inside of the bottom surface at the outer periphery of the air inlet or air outlet and the inside of the outer periphery of the case. Furthermore, the holding case in the air-cooling clothing blower of the present invention is a low-profile box-shaped case consisting of a top surface, a bottom surface, and an outer peripheral surface, with an air inlet on one of the top surface and a air outlet on the other surface, and a handle portion on one end of the outer peripheral surface. In addition, in the clothing blower of the present invention, a second dripping suppressing portion is provided on the inside of the handle portion of the holding case. Furthermore, the water retention means in the air-cooling clothing blower of the present invention is constituted by a band-shaped water retention body, and the band thickness direction of this band-shaped water retention body is arranged facing the air inlet to the air outlet of the retaining case. In addition, in the air-cooling clothing blower of the present invention, a holder having a plurality of slits is provided in the holding means, and the belt-shaped water-retaining bodies are held in different slits of the holder, thereby providing an air flow passage between adjacent belt-shaped water-retaining bodies. Furthermore, in the air-cooled clothing equipped with the air-cooled clothing blower of the present invention, the air blowing side of the fan case of the air-cooled clothing blower is inserted into the clothing body through a through hole provided in the clothing body, and the air-cooled clothing blower is attached inside the clothing body.

[0010] (Embodiment 1) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a rear view of an air-cooled suit 1 equipped with an air-cooled suit fan according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0011] As is known from the above (Patent Document 1) and the like, this air-cooling garment 1 has two through holes 3 provided in the lower part of the back side or the lower part of the side of the garment body 2, as shown in FIG. An air-cooled clothing blower 4 shown in Figures 3 to 15 is attached to this through hole 3, and air outside the clothing body 2 is drawn into the clothing body 2 and then released to the outside of the clothing body 2, thereby providing air cooling to the person wearing the clothing body 2.

[0012] As can be seen from Figs. 3 to 8, 14 and 15, the clothing blower 4 is composed of a blower 5 and water vaporization means 6 integrated therewith. The blower 5 includes a fan case 7, a fan 8 provided in the fan case 7, and a motor 9 that drives the fan 8. The fan case 7 has an air inlet 10 and an air outlet 11, and in this embodiment, the water vaporization means 6 is attached to the air inlet 10 side. The water vaporization means 6 may be attached to the air outlet 11, or may be attached to both the air inlet 10 and the air outlet 11.

[0013] The water evaporation means 6 has a water evaporation case 14 having an air inlet 12 through which air flows in when the fan 8 is driven and an air outlet 13 through which the air that has flowed in from the air inlet 12 flows out, a holding means 15 arranged so as to be freely movable in and out of the water evaporation case 14, and a water retention means 16 held in the holding means 15. In other words, in this embodiment, the water vaporization means 6 is attached to the fan case 7 with the air intake 10 of the fan case 7 facing the air outlet 13 of the water vaporization means 6.

[0014] As can be seen from Figures 8 to 13, the holding means 15 is composed of a thin, box-shaped holding case 17, and this holding case 17 is configured to be slidably inserted or pulled out from an opening 18 of the water evaporation case 14. In addition, a protruding locking portion 19 is provided inside the opening 18 of the water evaporation case 14, and a locking body 20 biased outward is provided on the holding case 17, so that when the holding case 17 is inserted into the water evaporation case 14 as shown in Figure 3, the holding case 17 is locked to the water evaporation case 14.

[0015] To explain this part further, an operating part 21 that is wider than the opening 18 of the water evaporation case 14 is provided at the end of the water evaporation case 14 that constitutes the water evaporation means 6, as shown in Figure 12, and two operating bodies 22 are provided on the left and right sides thereof for pinching with the fingertips. As shown in FIG. 13, a spring member 38 is provided between each of the operating bodies 22 inside the cover 23, so that the operating bodies 22 are biased outward together with the locking bodies 20 integrated with the operating bodies 22. As a result, when the holding means 15 is inserted into the water evaporation case 14 through the opening 18 of the water evaporation case 14, the locking bodies 20 move inward (in the direction in which the distance between the left and right locking bodies 20 decreases) in the compression direction of the spring member 38 until they overcome the locking portions 19, and once they overcome the locking portions 19, the spring member 38 returns to its original position, moving them outward and locking against the rear side of the locking portions 19, thereby locking the holding means 15 to the water evaporation case 14.

[0016] When the holding means 15 is removed from the water vaporization case 14, the left and right operating bodies 22 are operated while being pinched, so that the locking body 20 is retracted inwardly, and the locking with the locking part 19 can be released, whereby the holding means 15 can be removed from the water vaporization case 14.

[0017] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the water evaporation case 14 has a low-profile box shape consisting of a top surface 24, a bottom surface 25, and an outer peripheral surface 26. An opening 18 is provided on the outer peripheral surface 26 of the water evaporation case 14 as an insertion port for a holding case, and the holding case 17 can be freely inserted and removed from the water evaporation case 14 through this opening 18. The water vaporization case 14 has the air inlet 12 on a top surface 24 thereof and the air outlet 13 on a bottom surface 25 thereof (see FIG. 14). Further, on the inside of the outer circumferential surface 26 of the water vaporization case 14, a water dripping suppressing portion 26a is provided as a first water dripping suppressing portion (see FIG. 14).

[0018] The water dripping suppression portion 26a is a corner portion formed by the top surface 24, bottom surface 25, and outer peripheral surface 26 of the water vaporization case 14, or a space surrounded by the top surface 24, bottom surface 25, and outer peripheral surface 26. If the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 are not provided up to the outer peripheral surface on the top surface 24 and bottom surface 25, a space capable of retaining a small amount of water is formed between the outer peripheral surface portions of the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 and the outer peripheral surface 26, and this makes it possible to suppress a part of the water held by the water holding means 16 from flowing out of the water vaporization case 14. Specifically, the air inlet 12 is not formed on the entire top surface 24, and the area of ​​the air inlet 12 is smaller than the area of ​​the top surface 24 (in other words, in a plan view, the top surface 24 is rectangular while the air inlet 12 is circular), so that there are portions on the periphery of the top surface 24 where the air inlet 12 is not formed. Similarly, air flow outlet 13 is not formed over the entire surface of bottom surface 25, and the area of ​​air flow outlet 13 is smaller than the area of ​​bottom surface 25 (in other words, bottom surface 25 is rectangular while air flow outlet 13 is circular in plan view), so there are parts on the periphery of bottom surface 25 where air flow outlet 13 is not formed. Therefore, the corners formed by the periphery of top surface 24, the periphery of bottom surface 25, and outer circumferential surface 26 have a structure in which water accumulates.

[0019] 7 and 8, the holding case 17 is in the shape of a low-profile box made up of a holding case top surface 27, a holding case bottom surface 28, and a holding case outer peripheral surface 29, with the holding case top surface 27 facing the air inlet 12 of the water vaporization case 14 and the holding case bottom surface 28 facing the air outlet 13 of the water vaporization case 14, and an operating part 21 is provided as a handle portion on one end side of the holding case outer peripheral surface 29. Note that the holding case top surface 27 may be opposed to the air outlet 13 of the water vaporization case 14, and the holding case bottom surface 28 may be opposed to the air inlet 12 of the water vaporization case 14.

[0020] A water dripping suppressing portion 30 is provided on the inside of the operation portion 21 of the holding case 17 (inside the water vaporization case 14) as a second water dripping suppressing portion having a recessed shape. In other words, this water dripping prevention section 30 prevents some of the water held by the water retention means 16 from flowing out to the opening 18 side of the water evaporation case 14, thereby preventing the water from flowing out of the water evaporation case 14.

[0021] The water retention means 16 is constituted by a belt-shaped water retention body 33 made of synthetic fiber cloth or the like. As shown in Fig. 10, a holder 32 having a plurality of slits 31 is provided, and strip-shaped water-retaining bodies 33 are respectively held in different slits 31 of the holder 32, so that an air flow passage 34 is provided between adjacent strip-shaped water-retaining bodies 33.

[0022] In the example shown in Figures 9 and 10, one end of a number of band-shaped water-retaining bodies 33 is inserted one after another into different slits 31 of the left and right holders 32 at the upper part of the holding case 17, and then one end and the other end of the multiple band-shaped water-retaining bodies 33 are gathered together at the upper part, and in this state, one end and the other end are fixed together with a pin 37 shown in Figure 11. At the bottom inside the holding case 17, one end of each of the multiple belt-shaped water-retaining bodies 33 is inserted one after another into the different slits 31 of the left and right holders 32, and then one end and the other end of each of the multiple belt-shaped water-retaining bodies 33 are gathered together at the bottom, and in that state, one end and the other end are fixed together with a pin 37 shown in Figure 11. This provides an air flow passage 34 between adjacent band-shaped water retaining bodies 33.

[0023] In this state, the belt-like water retaining body 33 is arranged so that its thickness direction crosses the direction in which air flows from the air inlet 12 to the air outlet 13 of the water vaporization case 14. In other words, the width direction of the belt-like water retaining body 33 is aligned with the air flow direction, so that a wide area is secured for air to come into contact with the belt-like water retaining body 33, and evaporation and air cooling are efficiently promoted. In other words, the air flowing from the air inlet 12 to the air outlet 13 flows through the air flow passage 34 between the strip-shaped water retaining bodies 33, vaporizing the water held by the water retaining bodies 33, and the heat of vaporization at this time cools the air, enabling cool air to be supplied from the air outlet 11 of the blower 5 into the clothing body 2.

[0024] When the air-cooling suit blower 4 is attached to the suit body 2 in the above-mentioned configuration, it is inserted into the through-hole 3 of the suit body 2 in the state shown in FIG. FIG. 6 shows a state in which the ring-shaped fastener 35 has been removed from the fan case 7 of the blower 5. In this state, the fan case 7 of the blower 5 is inserted into the through hole 3 of the clothing body 2 from outside the clothing body 2, and the fastener 35 is attached to the fan case 7 inside the clothing body 2. In this state, as is conventionally known, the ring 36 on the outer periphery of the fan case 7 abuts against the outer periphery of the through hole 3 on the outer surface of the clothing body 2, and the ring-shaped fastener 35 abuts against the outer periphery of the through hole 3 on the inner surface of the clothing body 2, thereby attaching the air-cooled clothing blower 4 to the clothing body 2.

[0025] In this state, the water vaporization means 6 is present on the outer surface side of the clothing body 2, so the user holds the operating part 21 of the holding case 17, operates the operating body 22, and removes the holding case 17 from the water vaporization case 14, and then, for example, immerses the water retention body 33 of the holding case 17 in water or pours water on the water retention body 33, thereby causing the water retention body 33 to retain water. Thereafter, when the holding case 17 is lightly wrung out and then attached back into the water vaporization case 14, the air flowing from the air inlet 12 to the air outlet 13 flows through the air flow passages 34 between the strip-shaped water retaining bodies 33 as described above, vaporizing the water held by the water retaining bodies 33. The air is cooled by the heat of vaporization at this time, and cool air can be supplied from the air outlet 11 of the blower 5 into the clothes body 2.

[0026] As described above, in this embodiment, water can be replenished by simply pulling out the holding case 17 from the water vaporization case 14 and then inserting it back into the water vaporization case 14, making it extremely simple and easy to use.

[0027] In this embodiment, one end of a plurality of belt-like water-retaining bodies 33 is inserted one after another into different slits 31 of the left and right holders 32, and then one end and the other end of the plurality of belt-like water-retaining bodies 33 are gathered together above or below, and in this state, one end and the other end are fixed together with a pin 37 shown in FIG. At this time, since there is a gap between one end and the other end of the water holding body 33, the water held by the water holding body 33 is effectively evaporated. In other words, compared to a band-shaped water holding body 33 in which one end is connected to the other end and is loop-shaped, if one end is separated from the other end, air will flow in from that end, making it easier for the water to move to the center of the holding case 17, the part where evaporation is most advanced, and this allows the water held by the water holding body 33 to evaporate effectively.

[0028] FIG. 16 shows another embodiment in which a plurality of band-shaped water retaining bodies 33 are attached to the retaining tool 32. In this example, a plurality of water-retaining bodies 33 are folded one by one, and in this state, one end and the other end are lined up, and then one end and the other end of the retainer 32 are inserted into the adjacent slits 31, and thereafter, they are gathered and arranged upward or downward, which makes the insertion into the slits 31 more efficient.

[0029] Next, FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 show another embodiment. In the embodiment shown in Figures 3 and 4, an example is shown in which ring 36 on the outer periphery of fan case 7 is arranged parallel to fan case 7, but the example in Figures 17 and 18 shows an example in which ring 36 on the outer periphery of fan case 7 is inclined with respect to fan case 7.

[0030] In both the embodiment shown in Figures 3 and 4 and the embodiment shown in Figures 17 and 18, if the air-cooled clothing blower 4 is not properly held relative to the clothing body 2, it may be difficult to pull out the holding case 17 from the water evaporation case 14 and then insert it back into the water evaporation case 14. Therefore, it is also effective to provide a horizontal holding means for holding the opening 18 provided as the holding case insertion port for the water evaporation case 14 in an approximately horizontal position. The water vaporization case 14 hangs from the clothing body 2 due to its own weight, etc., and assumes a position in which the upper side is farther away from the wearer's back than the lower side. In other words, the water vaporization case 14 assumes a position in which the upper side is inclined toward the back side in a side view. However, for example, by hanging the upper part of the water vaporization case 14 with a belt or string, etc., and sewing the upper end of the belt or string to the shoulder area of ​​the clothing body 2, the upper side of the water vaporization case 14 is pulled up and assumes a vertical (or nearly vertical) position, so that it is aligned along the length direction. Furthermore, the opening 18 of the water vaporization case 14 opens in the direction of the body width (i.e., the opening 18 does not face downward or diagonally downward). Therefore, the wearer can pull the water vaporization case 14 out of the opening 18 almost straight to the side, and the work of pulling out the holding case 17 from the water vaporization case 14 and then inserting it into the water vaporization case 14 can be easily performed, making it easy to use. In addition, since the water evaporation case 14 is provided outside the clothing body 2, the top surface 24, bottom surface 25, and outer peripheral surface 26 are likely to be affected by heating due to solar heat, so it is important to prevent them from feeling hot when touched by processing them with fine protrusions or painting them in a white color.

[0031] Hereinafter, the second to fourth embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following, the configurations different from the air-cooling clothing blower 4 according to the first embodiment will be mainly described, and the description of the configurations similar to the air-cooling clothing blower 4 will be omitted by indicating the same reference numerals as the air-cooling clothing blower 4.

[0032] (Embodiment 2) The second embodiment of the present invention will be described below. Figures 19 to 26 show a blower 204 for air-cooled clothing according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, the blower 5 and the water vaporization means 6 are configured separately, and the water vaporization means 6 is attached to the fan case 7 with the air outlet 11 of the fan case 7 of the blower 5 facing the air inlet 12 of the water vaporization means 6. The fan case 7 of the blower 5 is inserted into the through hole 3 of the clothing body 2 from the outside of the clothing body 2, and the air inlet 12 of the water vaporization means 6 is attached to the fan case 7 of the blower 5 from the inside of the clothing body 2. The clothing body 2 is sandwiched between the water vaporization means 6 and the blower 5. The water vaporization means 6 and the fan case 7 of the blower 5 attached to the air inlet 12 are arranged inside the clothing body 2, and the air intake 10 of the blower 5 is arranged outside the clothing body 2.

In the third embodiment, the blower 5 and the water vaporization means 6 are configured separately, and the water vaporization means 6 is attached to the fan case 7 with the air intake 10 of the fan case 7 of the blower 5 facing the air outlet 13 of the water vaporization means 6. The air intake 10 of the fan case 7 and the air outlet 13 of the water vaporization means 6 are connected by a screw structure. The air outlet 13 of the water vaporization means 6 is inserted into the through hole 3 of the clothing body 2 from the outside of the clothing body 2, and the blower 5 is screwed into the air outlet 13 from the inside of the clothing body 2. The clothing body 2 is sandwiched between the water vaporization means 6 and the blower 5. The water vaporization means 6 is arranged on the outside of the clothing body 2, and the blower 5 is arranged on the inside of the clothing body 2.

In the fourth embodiment, the blower 5 and the water vaporization means 6 are integrally configured, and the fan case 7 and the lid 39 are configured separately. The lid 39 is attached to the water vaporization means 6 with the air outlet 11 of the lid 39 facing the air inlet 12 of the water vaporization means 6. The air outlet 11 of the lid 39 and the air inlet 12 of the water vaporization means 6 are connected by a screw structure.
