Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a ventilation device, and more particularly to a ventilation device having a blower section for blowing air into a container for containing a cooled beverage. [Background technology]
[0002] Soft drinks are widely consumed, and are especially popular in the summer to cool down. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an example in which a frozen soft drink or other beverage is placed in a container to cool down in the summer. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-89316 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] In the summer, people sometimes cool down by placing a frozen drink container directly on their skin. However, when cooling down in this way, moisture in the air that has reached its dew point adheres to the surface of the container, making the skin wet and causing discomfort. For this reason, there has been a demand for a device that allows cooling down by using air without direct contact with the container.
[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a ventilation device that can send air that is cooled by the influence of a cooled beverage. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the invention relating to a ventilation device is characterized by having a first blowing section that blows air that is cooled by the influence of a cooled beverage, and a circulation section through which the air blown from the first blowing section circulates.
[0007] According to the present invention, the above-mentioned configuration makes it possible to send air that is cooled by the influence of the cooled beverage.
[0008] The apparatus has a first container for containing the cooled beverage, and the circulation section is capable of circulating air sent from the first blowing section on the outer surface side of the first container.
[0009] The device may have a second container for containing the first container, and the second container may be made of a deformable material.
[0010] In other words, the second container can come into contact with the outer surface of the first container by deforming to correspond to the shape of the outer surface of the first container when the first container is placed inside.
[0011] The second container is provided with a heat conductor made of a heat-conductive material, and the circulation section circulates air sent from the first blower section to the second container, and the heat conductor comes into contact with the air circulating through the circulation section, so that the air can be cooled via the heat conductor. The heat conductor may include at least a metal. The heat conductor may have grooves formed therein that extend in the direction in which the air flows.
[0012] A second blowing section is provided, and the second blowing section can send the air sent from the first blowing section further downstream.
[0013] If the second blower has a detachable part for attaching and detaching the second blower to and from the second container, the second blower can be attached and detached to the second container.
[0014] If a second container is provided for placing the first container therein, and the circulation section serves as the first circulation section and further has a second circulation section, the second circulation section being connected to the second container and having a hollow interior through which air sent from the first blowing section flows, cooled air can be sent through the second circulation section.
[0015] If the second circulating portion is extendable, the length of the second circulating portion can be changed.
[0016] The first container has a hollow through-hole, and the hollow through-hole functions as a circulating portion through which the air sent by the first blowing section circulates, so that the air sent by the first blowing section can circulate through the through-hole.
[0017] The hollow through-hole can be provided in the center of the first container so as to extend in the vertical direction.
[0018] There may be a second container for receiving the first container. The container may have a cover member that covers the outer surface of the first container, and a predetermined space may be interposed between the cover member and the outer surface of the first container, and the space may be a circulation section through which the air flows. If the cover member has a predetermined opening and closing part and is configured to be openable and closable, the first container can be taken in and out by opening and closing the opening and closing part.
[0019] The opening and closing section has a vertical opening and closing section that opens and closes the cover member from top to bottom, and a circumferential opening and closing section whose one end is continuous with the lower end of the vertical opening and closing section and opens and closes the cover member in the circumferential direction, and the other end of the circumferential opening and closing section is a discontinuous section that is discontinuous with both the lower end of the vertical opening and closing section and the one end of the circumferential opening and closing section, the upper side of the circumferential opening and closing section on the cover member is the main body of the cover member, and the lower side of the circumferential opening and closing section on the cover member is the lower edge part of the cover member, and the main body part of the cover member and the lower edge part of the cover member are continuous with each other due to the discontinuous section, with the cover member interposed between the other end of the circumferential opening and closing section and the lower end of the vertical opening and closing section and the one end of the circumferential opening and closing section, so that even when the opening and closing sections are all opened, the cover members will not separate and the next closing operation can be performed quickly.
[0020] The first blower may be provided below the first container. By providing a second air blowing section above the first container that sucks in air sent from the first air blowing section and sends the sucked air out, the first air blowing section and the second air blowing section can reliably circulate the air through the circulation section while sending it out to the outside.
[0021] The cover member has an opening at the upper end and a dome-shaped lid body for closing the opening, and the second air blowing section is provided inside the lid body, and the lid body can be provided with an outlet for blowing air sucked in by the second air blowing section to the outside.
[0022] If a plurality of heat conductors made of a heat conductive material are provided on the outer side of the first container, the air can be cooled via the heat conductors. If the heat conductor has an air contact portion that comes into contact with the circulating air and a container contact portion that is continuous with the air contact portion and comes into contact with the first container side, the cooled temperature can be conducted from the container side to the air side.
[0023] If the container contact portion is in contact with the first container side via a material that is heat-dissipating and / or elastic, the cooled temperature of the first container side can be conducted to the container contact portion so as to dissipate heat, and / or the container contact portion can be brought into close contact with the shape of the first container side to correspond to the shape of the first container side. If the container contact portion is in contact with the first container side via a thermoelectric element, it is possible to heat the first container side and cool the air contact portion side.
[0024] The device has a band-shaped elastic member that stretches and contracts in a predetermined manner, and the elastic member has an insertion hole through which the thermal conductor is inserted.The middle part of the thermal conductor is inserted into the insertion hole to expose the air contact part and the container contact part from the elastic member, and is arranged to connect adjacent thermal conductors.By attaching the elastic member to the outer surface of the side of the first container, the thermal conductor can be arranged on the outer surface of the side of the first container.
[0025] The elastic member is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener, which has a male hook-and-loop fastener provided on one end side of the elastic member and a female hook-and-loop fastener provided on the other end side of the strip-shaped member, and by engaging the male hook-and-loop fastener and the female hook-and-loop fastener with each other, the elastic member can be attached to the outer side of the first container. [Effects of the Invention]

[0028] [First embodiment] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a side view showing the overall configuration of a ventilation device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a view showing a second container in the ventilation device, Fig. 3 is a view showing a first blower in the ventilation device, Fig. 4 is a view showing the configuration of a thermal conductor in the ventilation device, Fig. 5 is a view showing a second blower in the ventilation device, and Fig. 6 is a view showing a detachable part in the ventilation device. In the following description, directions are defined based on the first container 10, and the upper side of the first container 10 (the second blower 40 side) is referred to as "upper," the lower side (the first blower 30 side) is referred to as "lower" (bottom side), and the thermal conductor 25 side is referred to as "side," and each direction is also clearly indicated in the drawings.
[0029] An overview of the ventilation device 1 of this first embodiment will be explained with reference to Figures 1 to 6. The ventilation device 1 has a first container 10, a second container 20, a first blowing section 30, a second blowing section 40, and a detachable section 50.
[0030] 1 and 2, the first container 10 can contain a cooled beverage A, which can be frozen water, a soft drink, etc. The first container 100 can be a plastic bottle as shown in the figures, or can be a water bottle or other container capable of containing the beverage A.
[0031] The second container 20 can hold the first container 10. The second container 20 has a recess 21b in the center that is deeply recessed downward, and also has an upper part 21, side parts 22, and a bottom part 23. The second container 20 has an opening 21a in the center of the upper part 21, which is in communication with the recess 21b.
[0032] That is, the opening 21a functions as an insertion opening for inserting the first container 10 into the recess 21b, and the recess 21b functions as a storage section for storing the first container 10. The second container 20 is held so that the inner surfaces 27 of the side portions 22 and bottom portion 23 facing the recess 21b cover the side portions 12 and bottom portion 12 of the first container 10.
[0033] The second container 20 can be made of a deformable material. The deformable material can be a material that has elasticity and can be elastically deformed. The elastically deformable material can be silicon, urethane, or the like. Silicon and urethane are elastically deformable and have stretchability.
[0034] The second container 20 is made of an elastically deformable material, so that when the first container 10 is placed in the recess 21b, the recess 21b elastically deforms to correspond to the shape of the outer surface 10a of the first container 10, and can come into contact with the outer surface 10a of the first container 10 (when the first container 10 is removed from the recess 21b, the second container 20 returns to its original shape).
[0035] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the first blower 30 can blow air that has been cooled by the influence of the cooled beverage A. The first blower 30 can blow air toward the first container 10. The first blower 30 has blades 32 provided inside a short cylindrical casing 31, and the blades 32 are attached to the casing 31 via a rotating shaft 33. The first blower 30 can blow air by applying power to the rotating shaft 33 as required to rotate it.
[0036] That is, the second container 20 is hollow, and the hollow interior 20' functions as a circulating section 20' through which air sent from the first blower 30 toward the first container 10 circulates. That is, the circulating section 20' can circulate the air sent from the first blower 30 on the outer surface 10a side of the first container 10. Furthermore, the circulating section 20' can circulate the air sent from the first blower 30 to the second container 20.
[0037] More specifically, the second container 20 has a first blower 30 on the outer surface 26 side of the bottom 23 of the hollow interior 20', and has a plurality of holes 24 formed at the upper end of the second container 20, which function as outlets for blowing out air sent from the first blower 30. That is, a hole 26' is formed on the outer surface 26 side of the bottom 23 of the second container 20, and the first blower 30 is fitted into the hole 26'.
[0038] In other words, the first blower 30 is in communication with the outside air side and the interior 20' side of the second container 20, and can send outside air to the interior 20' of the second container 20. This forms a cooling air circulation path that runs from the first blower 30 provided in the bottom 23 of the second container 20, through the hollow interior 20' in the side portion 22, to the hole 24 at the upper end. The second container 20 has a groove 20'' provided on the upper end side, into which the lower end of the detachable part 50 can be fitted.
[0039] Here, the second container 20 is provided with a thermal conductor 25, as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 4. The thermal conductor 25 is made of a thermally conductive material. The thermal conductor 25 may include at least a metal, and the metal may be, for example, iron or copper.
[0040] The thermal conductor 25 is provided on the inner surface 27 side of the second container 20. More specifically, the thermal conductor 25 has a first exposed portion 25a exposed on the side facing the held first container 10, and a second exposed portion 25b exposed on the side of the hollow interior 20' of the second container 20. The second exposed portion 25b has a groove 25' formed therein so as to extend along the air flow direction. As such, by having the exposed portions 25a and 25b, the thermal conductor 25 comes into contact with the air flowing through the outer surface 10a of the first container 20 and the hollow interior 20' of the second container 20, more specifically, the air flowing through the flow portion 20', and the flowing air can be cooled by the first container 10 via the thermal conductor 25. Furthermore, since the thermal conductor 25 has the groove 25' formed therein so as to extend along the air flow direction, the cooling area can be increased.
[0041] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 , the second blower 40 is provided on the upper end side of the second container 20. The second blower 40 is in communication with the hollow interior 20′ of the second container 20 via the holes 24 of the second container 20. The second blower 40 can send the air sent from the first blower 30 through the holes 24 further downstream. The air sent by the second blower 40 allows the user of the ventilation device 1 to cool down. The second blower 40 has blades 42 provided inside a short cylindrical casing 41, and the blades 41 are attached to the casing 41 via a rotating shaft 43. The second blower 40 can send air by applying power as required to the rotating shaft 43 to rotate it.
[0042] A groove 44 is provided on the underside of the second blower 40, and the upper end of the detachable part 50 can be fitted into the groove 44.
[0043] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the detachable part 50 is used to attach and detach the second blower 40 to the upper end side of the second container 20. The detachable part 50 has an upper side in the form of a short cylindrical part 50a and a lower side in the form of a dome-shaped part 50b that connects to the lower end of the cylindrical part 50a. That is, the upper end of the cylindrical part 50a of the detachable part 50 is detachably fitted into the groove 44 on the underside of the second blower 40, and the lower end of the dome-shaped part 50b is detachably fitted into the groove 20'' on the upper end side of the second container 20, thereby enabling the second blower 40 to be attached and detached to the upper end side of the second container 20.
[0044] The method of assembling the ventilation device 1 configured in this manner will be described below. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the first blower 30 is fitted into the hole 26' on the outer surface 26 of the bottom 23 of the second container 20 shown in FIG. 7. Next, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the first container 10 is placed in the recess 21b through the opening 21a of the second container 20. When the first container 10 is placed in the recess 21b, the recess 21b elastically deforms to correspond to the shape of the outer surface 10a of the first container 10, allowing it to come into contact with the outer surface 10a of the first container 10. Next, as shown in FIG. 11, the lower end of the detachable part 50 is fitted into the groove 20'' on the upper end side of the second container 40. Next, as shown in FIG. 1, the second blower 40 is fitted into the groove 44 on the lower surface side, and the ventilation device 1 is assembled.
[0045] As described above, according to the first embodiment, there is provided a first air blowing section 30 that blows air cooled by the influence of the cooled beverage A, and a circulation section 20' through which the air blown from the first air blowing section 30 circulates, so that air cooled by the influence of the cooled beverage A can be blown.
[0046] In addition, the second container 20 is provided with a thermal conductor 25 made of a thermally conductive material, and the thermal conductor 25 is in contact with the circulating air, so that the air can be cooled via the thermal conductor 25.
[0047] Furthermore, since the first container 10 is placed in the second container 20, it is possible to reduce the amount of moisture in the air that has reached its dew point adhering to the surface of the container.
[0048] [Second embodiment] A second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 12 is a side view showing the configuration of a ventilation device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 13 is a side view showing the configuration of an air channel and an air blower of the ventilation device according to the second embodiment, and Fig. 14 is a view showing a connecting portion of the ventilation device.
[0049] The ventilation device 2 according to the second embodiment has a second circulating section 60 instead of the second blowing section 40 of the ventilation device 1 according to the first embodiment described above.
[0050] That is, in the second embodiment, the interior 20' of the second container 20 in the first embodiment described above, i.e., the circulating section 20', is the first circulating section 20', and the added circulating section is the second circulating section 60. The ventilation device 2 according to the second embodiment can send cooled air to the user via the second circulating section 60.
[0051] The second circulating section 60 is provided on the upper end side of the second container 20. The second circulating section 60 has an air channel section 61, a third air blowing section 62, and a connecting section 63. The second circulating section 60 is configured such that, from the upstream side, i.e., the starting end side, the connecting section 63, the third air blowing section 62, the air channel section 61, the third air blowing section 62, the air channel section 61, the third air blowing section 62, and the air channel section 61 are arranged in this order. The second circulating section 60 communicates with the hollow interior 20' (circulating section 20'') of the second container 20 via the hole 24 of the second container 20.
[0052] There are a plurality of air ducts 61, each formed in a long, cylindrical shape with a predetermined length. The air ducts 61 have a hollow interior 61' through which air sent from the first blower 30 flows. The air ducts 61 are expandable and contractible along the longitudinal direction. The air ducts 61 may have a bellows structure and may include electric wires.
[0053] The third blower 62 is provided in multiple locations and can send the air sent from the first blower 30, which is ejected through the holes 24, further downstream. The air sent by the third blower 62 allows the user of the ventilation device 2 to cool down. The third blower 62 has blades 62b provided in a short, cylindrical casing 62a, and the blades 62b are attached to the casing 62a via a rotating shaft 62c. The second blower 62 can send air by applying a required power to the rotating shaft 62c to rotate it. The third blower 62 has a groove 62e on the underside, into which the upper end of the connecting portion 63 can be fitted.
[0054] The connecting portion 63 can detachably connect the second flow section 60 to the upper end side of the second container. The connecting portion 63 has an upper side that is a short cylindrical portion 63a and a lower side that is a dome-shaped portion 63b that connects to the lower end of the cylindrical portion 63a. That is, the upper end of the cylindrical portion 63a of the connecting portion 63 is detachably fitted into the groove 62e on the underside of the third blower 62, and the lower end of the dome-shaped portion 63b is detachably fitted into the groove 20'' on the upper end side of the second container 20, thereby detachably connecting the third blower 62 to the upper end side of the second container 20.
[0055] With the ventilation device 2 of the second embodiment configured in this manner, even when a user uses the ventilation device 2 at a distance, the user can stay cool by utilizing the long second circulating portion 60. The second circulating portion 60 is extendable, so that the length of the second circulating portion 60 can be changed.
[0056] [Third embodiment] A third embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Fig. 15 is a front cross-sectional view showing the configuration of a ventilation device 3 according to the third embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 16 is an exploded front view showing the overall configuration of the ventilation device 3.
[0057] The ventilation device 3 according to the third embodiment has a configuration including a first container 100, a blower 1110, and a second container 120, and the first container 100 is provided with a penetration part 101.
[0058] That is, the first container 100 has a cylindrical annular shape in a plan view, and has a hollow through-hole 101 that penetrates through it. The through-hole 101 is provided in the center of the first container 100 so as to extend in the vertical direction. The first container 100 is further formed hollow between the annular inner surface 100a that forms the through-hole 101 and the annular outer surface 100b, and the hollow interior 102 can hold a cooled beverage A.
[0059] The first container 100 has a hole 105 on its upper side, and by removing the cap 106, the hollow interior 102 can be connected to the outside via the hole 106. That is, by removing the cap 106, beverage A can be poured into the hollow interior 102 through the hole 105 to refill it, and the user can drink beverage A from the hollow interior 102 through the hole 105. The first container 100 is made of a thermally conductive material.
[0060] The blower 110 is fitted into the lower end of the through-hole 101 and can blow air that is cooled by the influence of the cooled beverage A. The blower 110 can blow air towards the first container 100 through the through-hole 101. The blower 110 has blades 112 provided inside a short cylindrical casing 111, and the blades 112 are attached to the casing 31 via a rotating shaft 113. The first blower 30 can blow air by applying power to the rotating shaft 113 as required to rotate it. That is, hollow through-hole portion 101 can function as flow portion 101 through which air sent by blower portion 110 flows.
[0061] The second container 120 is used to house the first container 100, and the first container 100 is made of a thermally conductive material. The second container 120 is box-shaped and concave. That is, the second container 120 has an opening 121a at its top 121, which functions as an insertion portion for inserting the first container 100 together with the first blower 110. The side portions 122 and bottom 123 of the second container 120 function as a holding portion that holds the first container 100 so that the inner surfaces 122a and 123a cover the side portions 103 and bottom 104 of the first container 100. Since the second container 120 houses the first container 100, it is possible to reduce adhesion of moisture in the air that has reached the dew point to the container surface.
[0062] [Fourth embodiment] A fourth embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Fig. 15 is a front cross-sectional view showing the configuration of a ventilation device 3 according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 16 is an exploded front view showing the overall configuration of the ventilation device 3.
[0063] The ventilation device 3 according to the third embodiment has a configuration including a first container 100, a blower 1110, and a second container 120, and the first container 100 is provided with a penetration part 101.
[0064] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the first to third embodiments described above, and various modifications and applications are possible. That is, for example, as shown in the modified example of FIG. 17 , a rotor 28 such as a motor can be provided at the lower end of the recess 21b of the second container 20 in the first and second embodiments, and the rotor 28 can rotate the first container 10. By rotating the first container 10 in this manner, the air sent from the first blower 30 can be efficiently cooled. Note that a non-slip member 29 can be provided between the rotor 28 and the bottom 13 of the first container 10, and the non-slip member 29 can reduce slippage of the first container 10 during rotation. The non-slip member 29 is made of, for example, rubber, and has a groove 29b on an upper surface 29a side to prevent the first container 10 from slipping.
[0065] 18 and 19, the first container 10 may be placed in the recess 21b of the second container 20 via a predetermined attachment 70.
