Background Art

[0002] In recent years, fan-equipped wear for cooling the body has been put into practical use and is rapidly spreading. The fan-equipped wear has a fan for taking in air into the wear body, which is formed of a material with low breathability. When the fan is operated, a large amount of air is taken into the wear body from the fan, flows along the surface of the wearer's body or the underwear worn under the wear body, and then is discharged to the outside from the collar part, sleeve part, etc. of the wear body. And, while the air taken into the wear body by the fan flows along the surface of the wearer's body or the underwear, it evaporates the sweat emitted from the body, and the body is cooled by the heat of vaporization during evaporation.

[0003] In such fan-equipped wear, if the air taken into the wear body can contain some beneficial substances, it can not only cool the wearer's body but also give beneficial effects by such substances. For example, if the air taken into the wear body contains mist or water vapor and is humidified, it can give a moisturizing effect to the wearer in addition to cooling the body. Therefore, fan-equipped wear provided with a beneficial substance supply device for supplying some beneficial substances such as mist or water vapor for humidification into the wear body is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] Fans attached to fan-equipped clothing and non-fan devices such as these beneficial substance supply devices typically require different voltages to operate. Furthermore, fans are generally able to adjust their airflow by switching the supplied voltage, whereas non-fan devices such as these beneficial substance supply devices generally operate under a constant voltage. Therefore, when fan-equipped clothing is equipped with devices other than fans, such as beneficial substance supply devices, it has been necessary to provide separate power supplies for the fan and for the other devices, such as beneficial substance supply devices, as described in Patent Document 1. However, providing multiple power supplies in this way leads to increased complexity and weight in the structure of the fan-equipped clothing, which is undesirable.

[0006] It should be noted that products that aim to achieve a cooling effect by drawing in air with a fan (hereinafter referred to as "fan-equipped products") exist in addition to fan-equipped clothing. For example, there are fan-equipped backpacks that aim to provide a cooling effect on the wearer's back by introducing air into the backpack with a fan, thereby expelling heat and moisture accumulated on the wearer's back. Therefore, the problems with fan-equipped clothing described above also arise when fan-equipped products other than such fan-equipped clothing are equipped with devices other than fans, such as beneficial substance supply devices.

[0007] The objective of this invention is to enable a fan-equipped product to operate both the fan and other components using a single power supply. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] To solve the above problems, the invention described in claim 1 is: Products with fans And, Supply system and With the fans, The garment body from which air is introduced by the aforementioned fan, Power supply unit, A mounting device for fixing the supply system to the fan, Equipped with, The aforementioned supply system includes a voltage supply device and equipment other than a fan.

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention applied to fan-equipped clothing will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 9. However, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples, and various modifications can be made to the embodiments described below without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, in the following explanation, we will use the wearer wearing the fan-equipped garment 100 as a reference point, defining the wearer's front direction as front, the wearer's back direction as back, the wearer's upper direction as up, the wearer's lower direction as down, the wearer's right hand direction as right, and the wearer's left hand direction as left. Furthermore, when the opening / closing mechanism 11 of the garment body 1 is open, as shown in Figure 1, the direction in which the inner side of the garment body 1 (the side facing the wearer's body when worn) faces is defined as the front, and the opposite direction is defined as the back.

[0021] [1. Configuration of the Embodiment] As shown in Figure 1, the fan-equipped garment 100 according to this embodiment comprises a garment body 1, a fan 2 for introducing air into the garment body 1 (the space between the garment body 1 and the wearer's body), an ion generator 3 for supplying ions into the garment body 1, a mounting device 4 for attaching the fan 2 and the ion generator 3 to the garment body 1, a power supply device 5 for supplying voltage to the fan 2 and the ion generator 3, and a connecting cable 6 for connecting the ion generator 3 and the power supply device 5. The air taken into the garment body 1 by the fan 2 is circulated along the surface of the wearer's body or underwear worn beneath the garment body 1, and then discharged from an air discharge section 14 formed in the collar or sleeve of the garment body 1, thereby evaporating sweat from the body and cooling the body with the heat of vaporization during evaporation.

[0022] [(1) Main garment] The garment body 1 is the clothing portion of the fan-equipped garment 100, excluding the fan 2, ion generator 3, attachment 4, power supply 5, and connecting cable 6. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, it is formed in the shape of a blouson-type upper garment that covers the wearer's torso and arms. The shape of the garment itself 1 is not limited to covering at least a part of the wearer's body. For example, it may be formed into a vest that covers only the wearer's torso. Furthermore, when the garment body 1 is worn, the side facing the wearer is referred to as the inner side, and the opposite side of the garment body 1 that faces the outside space when worn is referred to as the outer side.

[0023] As shown in Figure 1, the garment body 1 is equipped with an opening / closing mechanism 11 on the front, which is a detachable dividing section formed by a zipper or the like, and as shown in Figures 1 and 2, it is equipped with an air leakage prevention mechanism 12 at the hem, which is formed by providing an elastic member such as an elastic cord around the wearer's body, and is a means for preventing air inside the garment body 1 from leaking out from the hem of the garment body 1 to the outside.

[0024] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, air discharge sections 14 are formed in the opening between the wearer's neck and the end of the collar of the garment body 1, and in the opening between the wearer's arm and the end of the sleeve of the garment body 1. These sections are for discharging air introduced into the garment body 1 by the fan 2 after it has been circulated along the wearer's body or underwear.

[0025] Also, the figure 1 As shown, the inner surface of the garment body 1 is provided with a power supply holding means 15 formed in the shape of a pocket capable of housing the power supply 5, in order to hold the power supply 5 in a position where it can be connected to the ion generator 3 via a connecting cable 6, and a cable holding means 16 formed in the shape of a ring with an opening through which the connecting cable 6 can be inserted, in order to hold the connecting cable 6 on the inner surface of the garment body 1.

[0026] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, fan mounting holes 13, which are circular openings that connect the space inside the garment body 1 and the space outside the garment body 1 when the fan-equipped garment 100 is worn, are formed on the back of the garment body 1 at positions corresponding to the left and right sides of the wearer's waist. The fan mounting hole 13 is formed so that its diameter is approximately the same as the diameter of the cylindrical portion 23 of the fan 2, which will be described later. By attaching the fan 2 to the garment body 1 so that the cylindrical portion 23 passes through the fan mounting hole 13, outside air can be drawn into the space inside the garment body 1 through the fan mounting hole 13.

[0027] [(2) Fans] Fan 2 is a means of introducing air from the outside into the space inside the garment body 1 through the fan mounting hole 13, and as shown in Figure 1, the voltage necessary for its operation is supplied from the power supply unit 5 via the connecting cable 6 and the ion generator 3.

[0028] Inside fan 2 is a propeller (not shown) that generates airflow, and by rotating this propeller with a motor (not shown) on its axis of rotation in the front-to-back direction, an airflow is generated that moves from the air intake section 21 to the air outlet section 22 (from rear to front), as described later.

[0029] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the fan 2 has an air intake section 21 located on the outer surface of the garment body 1 at the rear, which is the part that takes in air when the internal propeller rotates, and as shown in Figures 1 and 3, an air outlet section 22 is located on the inner surface of the garment body 1, which is the part that sends out air when the internal propeller rotates.

[0030] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, the fan 2 includes a cylindrical connecting section 23 between the air intake section 21 and the air outlet section 22, and the end of the cylindrical section 23 on the air intake section 21 side is provided with a flange 24 that protrudes in a direction substantially perpendicular to the side surface of the cylindrical section 23.

[0031] The cylindrical portion 23 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a circular outer cross-section when cut by a plane perpendicular to the propeller's rotation axis (front-to-back direction), and its outer diameter is formed to be approximately the same as the diameter of the fan mounting hole 13. In addition, the flange 24 protruding from the cylindrical portion 23 also has a circular shape when viewed from the front-to-back direction. Furthermore, recesses 231 are formed at two opposing locations on the left and right outer surfaces of the cylindrical portion 23, which engage with protrusions 411 formed on the inner surface of the mounting ring 41 of the mounting device 4 described later. This configuration allows the mounting device 4 to be fixed to the outer surface of the cylindrical portion 23 as described later.

[0032] As shown in Figure 3, the air outlet section 22 of the fan 2 has a stepped section 221 formed at the top, creating a step in the front-to-back direction. An input terminal 222 is formed on the stepped section 221, facing upwards, to which the output terminal 322 of the ion generator 3 is connected, as will be described later.

[0033] [(3) Ion Generator] The ion generator 3 is a device for supplying beneficial ions into the wearer body 1, and as shown in Figure 4, it is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape with a protruding part at the bottom, and comprises an ion generating part 31 and an adapter part 32. In this embodiment, the ion generating unit 31 corresponds to the "beneficial substance supply device" in the present invention, the adapter unit 32 corresponds to the "voltage supply device" in the present invention, and the ion generating device 3, which integrates these components, corresponds to the "supply system" in the present invention on its own.

[0034] [a Ion generating unit] The ion generating unit 31 is the part that produces hydrogen ions and oxygen ions from water molecules and oxygen molecules in the air, and can use a configuration similar to that of a known general ion generator.

[0035] As shown in Figure 4, the ion generating unit 31 is located near the lower end of the ion generator 3. This allows the ions produced by the ion generating unit 31 to be directly incorporated into the air discharged from the air outlet 22 of the fan 2 when the ion generator 3 is attached to the fan 2, as shown in Figure 6.

[0036] [b Adapter section] The adapter section 32 is the part that splits the voltage supplied from the power supply unit 5 to the ion generator 3 via the connecting cable 6 into a voltage supplied to the ion generating unit 31 and a voltage supplied to the fan 2. As shown in Figure 4, it is equipped with an input terminal 321 on the rear and an output terminal 322 on the lower protruding part.

[0037] The input terminal 321 is the part to which the connecting cable 6 is connected and to which voltage is supplied from the power supply unit 5 to the adapter unit 32, and is not particularly limited as long as it is a terminal to which the connecting cable 6 can be connected.

[0038] The output terminal 322 is connected to the input terminal 222 of the fan 2 and is a terminal for outputting the voltage supplied from the power supply unit 5 to the ion generator 3 via the connecting cable 6 to the fan 2. The output terminal 322 is not particularly limited as long as it is a terminal that can be connected to the input terminal 222 of the fan 2.

[0039] As shown in Figure 8, the adapter unit 32 includes an input circuit 323 connected to the input terminal 321, a fan circuit 324 connected to the output terminal 322, and an ion generating unit circuit 325 connected to the ion generating unit 31. The adapter unit is configured to allow the voltage input to the input terminal 321 to be branched to the fan circuit 324 and the ion generating unit circuit 325.

[0040] Of these, the input circuit 323 and the fan circuit 324 are through-pass circuits that do not affect the voltage, but the ion generation circuit 325 includes a constant voltage circuit 3251 and is configured to supply a constant voltage, which is the operating voltage of the ion generation unit 31, to the ion generation unit 31 even if the voltage input to the input terminal 321 changes.

[0041] Therefore, in the adapter unit 32, the output terminal 322 outputs the same voltage to the fan 2 as that input to the input terminal 321, and the ion generation unit circuit 325 outputs a constant voltage, which is the preset operating voltage of the ion generation unit 31, to the ion generation unit 31, regardless of the voltage supplied to the input terminal 321. In other words, the fan circuit 324 and output terminal 322 correspond to the "first output section" in the present invention, and the ion generation section circuit 325 corresponds to the "second output section" in the present invention. Furthermore, the combination of the input terminal 321, output terminal 322, input circuit 323, fan circuit 324, and ion generation unit circuit 325 constitutes the voltage supply circuit in the present invention.

[0042] [(4) Equipment] The mounting device 4 is the part for attaching the fan 2 to the garment body 1 and for attaching the ion generator 3 to the fan 2, and as shown in Figure 5, it comprises a mounting ring 41 and an ion generator mounting part 42. The mounting ring 41 and the ion generator mounting part 42 are integrally formed from a flexible material such as plastic.

[0043] [a Mounting ring] The mounting ring 41 is formed in a ring shape as shown in Figure 5 and is attached so as to cover the outer surface of the cylindrical portion 23 of the fan 2 as shown in Figure 7. The fan 2 is used to attach the fan 2 to the garment body 1 by sandwiching the portion around the fan mounting hole 13 of the garment body 1 between one end of the mounting ring 41 and the flange 24 of the fan 2.

[0044] The mounting ring 41 is formed in an elliptical shape when viewed from the axis of rotation of the propeller inside the fan 2 (front-to-back direction). Furthermore, the mounting ring 41 is formed such that the length of its inner circumference is longer than the length of the outer circumference of the cylindrical portion 23 of the fan 2, and the minor axis of its inner circumference is smaller than or equal to the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion 23. In this case, the major axis of the inner circumference of the mounting ring 41 is larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion 23.

[0045] Furthermore, two opposing positions (two on the left and two on the right in Figure 5) on the inner surface of the mounting ring 41 in the short-axis direction are formed with protrusions 411 that fit into recesses 231 formed on the outer surface of the cylindrical portion 23 of the fan 2.

[0046] As described above, since the mounting ring 41 is made of a flexible material, pressing it from the outer surface in the major axis direction causes it to bulge outward in the minor axis direction, deforming the mounting ring 41 into a perfect circle. Furthermore, when the force pressing from the outer surface in the major axis direction is released, the mounting ring 41 returns to its original elliptical shape. By utilizing this, the elliptical mounting ring 41 is pressed from the outer surface in the direction of its major axis, causing it to bend and deform into a perfect circle. Then, the mounting ring 41 is placed over the cylindrical portion 23 so that the position of the recess 231 of the cylindrical portion 23 and the position of the protrusion 411 of the mounting ring 41 coincide. After releasing the pressure on the mounting ring 41, the mounting ring 41 can be attached to the cylindrical portion 23 of the fan 2. Furthermore, by sandwiching the portion surrounding the fan mounting hole 13 of the garment body 1 between one end of the mounting ring 41 and the flange 24 of the fan 2, the fan 2 can be attached to the garment body 1 as shown in Figure 7.

[0047] The configuration of the mounting ring 41 is not limited to the example described above. For example, a configuration in which the mounting ring 41 can be attached to or detached from the fan 2 by means of screwing or other means can be appropriately adopted.

[0048] [b Ion generator mounting section] As shown in Figure 5, the ion generator mounting section 42 is a part located on the upper part of the mounting ring 41 for attaching the ion generator 3 to the mounting fixture 4. It has multiple claws (first claw 421, second claw 422, and third claw 423), and is configured to hold the ion generator 3 between these claws so that, as shown in Figure 6, the ion generator 3 can be fixed to the fan 2 with the output terminal 322 of the ion generator 3 connected to the input terminal 222 of the fan 2.

[0049] The configuration of the ion generator mounting section 42 is not limited to any particular shape, as long as it can fix the ion generator 3 to the fan 2 with the output terminal 322 of the ion generator 3 connected to the input terminal 222 of the fan 2.

[0050] [(5) Power supply] The power supply unit 5 is a component that supplies voltage to the fan 2 and the ion generator 3, and is connected to the ion generator 3 via a connecting cable 6, as shown in Figure 1.

[0051] The power supply unit 5 incorporates, for example, a lithium-ion battery pack with a safety protection circuit, and is configured to output multiple different voltage levels. Furthermore, the power supply unit 5 is equipped with a switch (not shown) that switches the voltage supplied to the fan 2 on and off, as well as a switch that switches the voltage supplied to the fan. This allows the wearer of the fan-equipped garment 100 to use the switch to switch between the fan 2 being in operation and the fan 2 being in operation, and to switch the airflow of the fan 2 when it is in operation.

[0052] [(6) Connection Cable] As shown in Figure 1, the connecting cable 6 is a cable that connects the power supply unit 5 and the ion generator 3. One end is connected to the power supply unit 5, and the other end branches into two and is connected to the input terminals 321 of the adapter section 32 of the two ion generators 3. This allows the power supply unit 5 to supply the necessary voltage to operate the ion generators 3 and the fan 2 connected to them via the connecting cable 6. The connection cable 6 only needs to be capable of supplying voltage from the power supply unit 5 to the ion generator 3 and the fan 2 connected to the ion generator 3 via the connection cable 6, and its specific configuration is not particularly limited.

[0053] [2. Explanation of Usage] When the fan-equipped garment 100 is in use, the ion generator 3 is attached to the ion generator mounting portion 42 of the wearable device 4, as shown in Figure 6. Furthermore, in this state, when the mounting ring 41 of the mounting device 4 is attached to the fan 2, the ion generator 3 is fixed to the fan 2 with the output terminal 322 of the ion generator 3 connected to the input terminal 222 of the fan 2.

[0054] Furthermore, when attaching the mounting ring 41 of the attachment device 4 to the fan 2, the portion around the fan mounting hole 13 of the garment body 1 is sandwiched between one end of the mounting ring 41 and the flange 24 of the fan 2. As shown in Figure 7, the fan 2, ion generator 3, and attachment device 4 are fixed to the garment body 1 in an integrated state.

[0055] Then, in this state, by connecting one end of the connecting cable 6 to the input terminal 321 of the ion generator 3 as shown in Figure 7, it becomes possible to supply voltage from the power supply 5 to the ion generator 3 and the fan 2 connected to the ion generator 3.

[0056] [3 Effects of the Embodiment] According to the fan-equipped wear 100 of this embodiment, the ion generator 3 comprises an ion generating unit 31 and an adapter unit 32. The adapter unit 32 includes an input terminal 321 and an input circuit 323 to which voltage from the power supply unit 5 is input, an output terminal 322 and a fan circuit 324 for outputting the voltage input to the input terminal 321 to the fan 2, and an ion generating unit circuit 325 for outputting the voltage input to the input terminal 321 to the ion generating unit 31. The output terminal 322 and the fan circuit 324 output the same voltage to the fan 2 as that input to the input terminal 321, and the ion generating unit circuit 325, which includes a constant voltage circuit 3251, outputs a predetermined constant voltage to the ion generating unit 31.

[0057] As a result, the fan 2 is supplied with the same voltage as that input from the power supply 5, and the ion generating unit 31 is supplied with a preset constant voltage that matches the operating voltage of the ion generating unit 31. Therefore, for the fan-equipped garment 100, both the fan 2 and the ion generating unit 31 of the ion generating device 3 can be operated by a single power supply 5.

[0058] Furthermore, since the ion generator 3 is formed with the ion generating unit 31 and the adapter unit 32 integrated in a way that prevents them from being detached, these can be attached to the fan 2 all at once, reducing the effort required for installation before use.

[0059] Furthermore, while the ion generator 3 can be attached to the fan 2 simply by connecting the output terminal 322 of the ion generator 3 to the input terminal 222 of the fan 2, the ion generator 3 can be attached to the fan 2 more securely by further providing a mounting device 4 having a mounting ring 41 and an ion generator mounting part 42.

[0060] [4. Variant] Next, a modified example of the above embodiment will be described.

[0061] [(1) Variation 1: Changing the mounting position of the ion generator] In the above description of the configuration, the case in which the ion generator 3 is attached to the fan 2 by the attachment device 4 was described, but the ion generator 3 may be attached to the garment body 1 separately from the fan 2 without being attached to the fan 2.

[0062] In this case, the output terminal 322 of the ion generator 3 and the input terminal 222 of the fan 2 are connected via a cable, and the ion generator 3 is fixed to the inner surface of the garment body 1 at any position along the flow path through which the air introduced into the garment body 1 by the fan 2 flows to the air discharge section 14.

[0063] [(2) Modification 2: Separation of the ion generator and the adapter device] In the above description of the configuration, we described a case in which the ion generator 3 comprises an ion generating unit 31 and an adapter unit 32 for branching the voltage input from the power supply unit 5 via a connecting cable 6 to the ion generating unit 31 and the fan 2. However, as shown in Figure 9, the ion generator 3A and the adapter unit 7 may be provided separately.

[0064] In this case, as shown in Figure 9, the ion generator 3A is provided only with an input terminal 321 and an ion generating unit 31. Furthermore, the adapter device 7 is equipped with input terminals 71, input circuit 73, fan circuit 74, and ion generator circuit 75, similar to the input terminals 321, input circuit 323, fan circuit 324, and ion generator circuit 325 of the adapter section 32 of the ion generator 3, and is also equipped with a first output terminal 72A connected to the fan circuit 74 and a second output terminal 72B connected to the ion generator circuit 75.

[0065] Then, the first output terminal 72A of the adapter device 7 and the input terminal 222 of the fan 2 are connected directly or via a cable, and the second output terminal 72B of the adapter device 7 and the input terminal 321 of the ion generator 3A are connected directly or via a cable.

[0066] In this case, since the ion generator 3A and the adapter device 7 are separate units, it becomes necessary to attach the ion generator 3A and the adapter device 7 separately to the garment body 1. Although this increases the effort required for installation, it improves flexibility in terms of installation location, etc.

[0067] In this modified example, the ion generator 3A corresponds to the "beneficial substance supply device" in the present invention, the adapter device 7 corresponds to the "voltage supply device" in the present invention, and the combination of these two devices corresponds to the "supply system" in the present invention. In other words, the "supply system" in the present invention includes both cases in which the "voltage supply device" and the "beneficial substance supply device" are integrated into a single device, as described in the above description of the configuration, and cases in which the "voltage supply device" and the "beneficial substance supply device" are separate and comprise multiple devices. Furthermore, the input terminal 71, the first output terminal 72A, the second output terminal 72B, the input circuit 73, the fan circuit 74, and the ion generator circuit 75 together constitute the voltage supply circuit in this invention.

[0068] [(3) Modification 3: Changes to the equipment for supplying beneficial substances] In the above description of the configuration, we described the case where the device that supplies beneficial substances into the garment body 1, which operates by receiving voltage from the power supply unit 5 along with the fan 2, is an ion generator (the ion generating unit 31 of the ion generator 3). However, the device that supplies beneficial substances into the garment body 1 is not limited to an ion generator.

[0069] For example, a humidifier that replaces the ion generating unit 31 with a humidifying unit that supplies a beneficial substance having a humidifying effect, such as mist or water vapor, into the garment body 1 may be used instead of the ion generating device 3. In this case, it is preferable to provide a separate water storage tank from the humidifier, and to install it on the inner surface of the garment body 1, so that water is supplied from this tank to the humidifying section of the humidifier via a hose.

[0070] [(4) Modification 4: Changes to products with fans] In the above description of the configuration, the case in which the fan-equipped product to which the fan 2 and ion generator 3 are attached is described as fan-equipped wear 100, but the fan-equipped product to which the fan 2 and ion generator 3 are attached is not limited to fan-equipped wear 100. For example, in a backpack equipped with a fan, which is intended to provide a cooling effect on the wearer's back by introducing air into the backpack using a fan, the fan 2 and the ion generator 3 may be equipped with an adapter section 32 so that both the fan 2 and the ion generating section 31 of the ion generator 3 can be operated by a single power supply 5. Furthermore, in this case as well, as described in Modification 3, the device supplying the beneficial substance is not limited to the ion generator (ion generating unit 31 of the ion generator 3). For example, a humidifier equipped with a humidifying unit that supplies a beneficial substance with a humidifying effect, such as mist or water vapor, instead of the ion generating unit 31 may be used in place of the ion generator 3.

[0071] [(5) Modification 5: Change in the method of air intake] In the above description of the configuration, we described the case in which air is drawn into the garment body 1 by the fan 2 through the fan mounting hole 13. However, conversely, the fan 2 may also expel air from the fan mounting hole 13, thereby introducing air into the garment body 1 through an opening in another location. In this case as well, the objective is to obtain a cooling effect by drawing in air through an opening other than the fan mounting hole 13 using the fan, and this remains the same for the garment with a fan, which falls under the category of a product with a fan in this invention. This point is also true for products with a fan other than garments with a fan. [Explanation of Symbols]
