Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water removal devices, and in particular to a rapid water removal device for umbrellas. [Background technology]

[0002] On rainy days, public places are equipped with self-service umbrella bag attachment machines for wet umbrellas at their entrances, which provide plastic bags for storing umbrellas, to prevent rainwater from the surface of the umbrella from dripping all over the place, making the ground wet and slippery, increasing the risk of falling. However, frequent use of plastic bags leads to waste of resources and environmental pollution because plastic bags do not decompose, and the cost of use increases when plastic bags are continuously purchased and replenished. Another method is to dry the umbrella using an absorbent cloth. The wet umbrella is inserted into the center of the absorbent cloth and shook from side to side to dry the moisture on the surface of the wet umbrella. The water removal effect of this method is not good, and as the moisture content of the absorbent cloth gradually increases, the water removal effect gradually weakens, and when not in use, bacteria are easily propagated on the damp absorbent cloth.

[0017] The following description is used to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can realize the present invention. The preferred embodiments in the following description are merely examples, and those skilled in the art may conceive of other obvious variations.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the umbrella quick water removal device includes a housing 100, and a fan 200 for providing wind and a storage sleeve 300 for placing an umbrella are attached inside the housing 100. The storage sleeve 300 has a first port 310 and a second port 320 arranged opposite to each other. A water tank 400 is arranged separately below the second port 320 to receive rainwater dripping from the umbrella. An umbrella insertion port 110 is provided on the surface of the housing 100. A Venturi tube 500 is embedded in the umbrella insertion port 110. The Venturi tube 500 is disposed ... The opening of the venturi tube 500 facing the inside of the housing 100 corresponds to the first port 310 of the receiving sleeve 300, and the umbrella is inserted into the housing 100 through the umbrella insertion opening 110, passes through the Venturi tube 500 and the first port 310 in sequence, and enters the inside of the receiving sleeve 300. The airflow after the fan 200 is started passes through the ventilation tube 1200 and the Venturi tube 500 into the receiving sleeve 300, generating an airflow inside, which dries the rainwater on the surface of the umbrella placed in the receiving sleeve 300 and removes water from the umbrella surface. Preferably, there are two fans 200, which are arranged on both sides of the receiving sleeve 300, and the vortex generated by the two fans 200 blowing air increases the speed of the wind blown into the receiving sleeve 300, thereby increasing the speed of removing rainwater on the umbrella surface.

[0019] Specifically, a conduit pressurization chamber 600 is provided between an opening of the Venturi tube 500 facing the inside of the housing 100 and the first port 310 of the accommodating sleeve 300, a bottom surface of which is hermetically connected to the outer periphery of the accommodating sleeve 300, and an upper surface of which is hermetically connected to the inner wall of the housing 100, the Venturi tube 500 is positioned inside the conduit pressurization chamber 600, an air vent pipe 1200 is connected to the outer wall of the conduit pressurization chamber 600, one end of the air vent pipe 1200 is connected to the exhaust port 212 of the fan 200 and is used to transmit the airflow generated by the fan 200 to the conduit pressurization chamber 600, when the fan 200 is started, the airflow passes through the air vent pipe 1200 and enters the conduit pressurization chamber 600, secondary pressurization occurs in the conduit pressurization chamber 600, and the air is ejected from the opening of the Venturi tube 500 into the first port 310 and circulates within the accommodating sleeve 300. A user can use the high-pressure airflow emitted from the device to quickly dry the rainwater on the surface of the wet umbrella that has passed through the Venturi tube 500, and the water droplets flow downward with the high-pressure airflow and enter the water tank 400 through the second port 320 of the receiving sleeve 300 to complete the water removal process.

[0020] 7, the fan 200 includes a fan housing 210 having an inlet 211 and an outlet 212. The fan housing 210 is further provided with parallel and spaced apart pressurizing members 220 inside, and a compression space is formed between two adjacent pressurizing members 220 to compress the air flow, and the pressurizing members 220 are located between the inlet 211 and the outlet 212 to squeeze the wind in the fan housing 210 and narrow the circulation path, thereby increasing the pressure of the wind exiting the outlet 212, and increasing the pressure of the airflow entering the receiving sleeve 300, and further enhancing the water removal speed.

[0021] In this embodiment, the housing 100 is further provided with an electronic control device 700, an electronic control board is provided on the surface of the housing 100 for easy observation and adjustment, the receiving sleeve 300 is provided with an object detection sensor 800 electrically connected to the electronic control device 700, and the fan 200 is also electrically connected to the electronic control device 700, when the object detection sensor 800 detects that an umbrella has entered the receiving sleeve 300, the object detection sensor 800 transmits a signal to the electronic control device 700, and the electronic control device 700 activates the fan 200 to provide airflow to blow air into the receiving sleeve 300, so as to dry the rainwater on the surface of the umbrella. The object detection sensor 800 and the electronic control device 700, as well as their electrical control connections with the fan 200, are all conventional technologies and will not be described again here.

[0022] In order to quickly remove rainwater from the water tank 400 and prevent the rainwater from overflowing from the water tank 400 and flowing into other places in the housing 100, the water tank 400 is provided with a water level sensor 900 electrically connected to the electric control device 700. When the water level sensor 900 detects that the water has reached a set water level, it transmits a command to the electronic control device 700, which then issues an alarm and sounds a buzzer to prompt the user to discard the water accumulated in the water tank 400 within a certain time. Preferably, the water level sensor 900 is provided on the outer wall of the water tank 400.

[0023] To improve the convenience of removing rainwater from the water tank 400, the water tank 400 has a structure that allows it to be pulled out from the housing 100, and an opening that fits the water tank 400 is provided in the corresponding side wall of the housing 100, and a handle is provided on the corresponding side of the water tank 400. The water tank 400 can be pulled out by pulling the handle, and the water accumulated inside can be discarded before being placed back into the housing 100, allowing the water tank 400 to be quickly attached and detached.

[0024] To facilitate mobility of the device, casters 1000 are attached to the bottom surface of the housing 100.

[0025] In this embodiment, the upper surface on which the umbrella insertion hole 110 is provided is an inclined surface, and a plurality of drainage holes 120 are provided linearly along the edge of the inclined surface. Correspondingly, a removable water tank 1100 is provided inside the housing 100, and the opening of the water tank 1100 faces the drainage hole 120 to receive the water flowing out from the drainage hole 120. The water tank 1100 adopts a drawer structure similar to that of the water tank 400, and it is easy to clean the accumulated water in a timely manner. When an umbrella is inserted into the umbrella insertion hole 110, rainwater drips around the umbrella insertion hole 110, and the upper surface of the umbrella insertion hole 110 is an inclined surface, so that the rainwater flows along the inclined surface toward the drainage hole 120 and flows into the water tank 1100, thereby improving the dryness of the surface of the housing 100 and preventing the rainwater remaining on the surface of the housing 100 from flowing to the ground and making the ground slippery.

[0026] As another embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the top surface of the housing 100 is stepped, and two fans 200 are distributed on one side of the receiving sleeve 300 to make the internal structure of the cavity of the housing 100 more compact.
