Description

umbrella spin dryer

[0001] The present invention relates to an umbrella dehydrator, and more specifically, to a device for removing water from an umbrella wet with rainwater.

[0002] Typically, umbrella dryers are used to remove water from umbrellas before entering indoors, utilizing the fabric fibers to dry the water. However, there is a problem in that it is difficult to accommodate all the moisture from the fabric fibers when many people are drying their umbrellas at once, and the drying effect drops significantly after the fabric fibers have absorbed a certain amount of moisture.

[0003] In a more advanced manner, the conventional Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2016-0118785, "Umbrella Packaging Machine Equipped with a Dehydration Device," describes an umbrella dehydrator using a roller method; however, since it moves the umbrella in a vertical direction, it has a problem with versatility as large umbrellas cannot be inserted depending on the type of umbrella. Furthermore, because it is in a vertical direction, the depth required to insert the umbrella must be long, which limits the size and poses a risk of the umbrella ribs themselves being damaged. Additionally, there is a functional limitation in that the inside of the umbrella's folds cannot be dehydrated.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to provide an umbrella dryer capable of rapidly drying a large number of umbrellas.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides an umbrella dehydrator characterized by comprising: a main body formed by a lower structure and upper structures on both sides, with a space formed across the center between the upper structures through which an umbrella can move; a plurality of moisture-absorbing rollers formed at regular intervals on both sides of the upper structures, which rotate to remove moisture by the movement of the umbrella; moisture-removing rollers formed on both sides of the upper structures, which are in close contact with and rotated behind the moisture-absorbing rollers to remove moisture from the moisture-absorbing rollers; and an elastic spring installed on the moisture-removing rollers to apply pressure to the moisture-absorbing rollers.

[0006] The above moisture-absorbing roller is characterized by being formed with an inclined shape such that the gap between a pair of opposing rollers widens from the bottom to the top.

[0007] The upper structure is characterized by being composed of an outer plate formed vertically above the lower structure, an upper plate formed on the upper part of the outer plate, and an inner guide plate that is inclined to correspond to the inclination of the moisture-absorbing roller and guides the movement of the umbrella by exposing only a part of the moisture-absorbing roller on the upper plate.

[0008] The above-described substructure is characterized by having a plurality of collection holes formed at the top for collecting moisture, and further having a drawer provided to collect moisture.

[0009] The above moisture removal roller is characterized by having a guide plate formed therein that is axially connected within the upper structure and allows it to move toward the moisture absorption roller.

[0010] According to the above solution, the following effects can be expected.

[0011] You can quickly remove rainwater and wring out a wet umbrella simply by shaking it back and forth. In particular, this wringing process allows you to process a large volume of wet umbrellas in a short amount of time.

[0012] Since the rainwater absorbed by the moisture absorption roller has its moisture removed by the moisture removal roller, the moisture absorption roller is always in a state where it can absorb rainwater from the umbrella.

The following description and the accompanying drawings are provided for the general understanding of the present invention and do not limit the technical scope of the invention. Furthermore, detailed descriptions of known configurations and functions that could unnecessarily obscure the essence of the invention will be omitted.

[0020] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, the umbrella dehydrator of the present invention comprises a main body (100), a moisture absorption roller (200), a moisture removal roller (300), and an elastic spring (400) to remove rainwater from an umbrella.

[0021] First, the main body (100) of the present invention is formed with a lower structure (120) in the shape of a square box and upper structures (140) formed on both sides of the upper part of the lower structure (120), and a space is formed between the upper structures through the center where an umbrella can move.

[0022] The space is formed in a shape with the horizontal and upper parts open, allowing the umbrella to be moved forward and backward in the horizontal direction to perform the umbrella drying operation. The forward and backward movement of the umbrella is referred to as the forward and backward movement between the upper structure (140) and the main body (100) is formed with a long length.

[0023] Here, the above-mentioned substructure (120) serves as a support located on the ground, and a wheel (124) is installed on the bottom so that it can be easily moved to a desired location.

[0024] And, the upper structure (140) is installed on both sides of the lower structure (120) to accommodate the moisture absorption roller (200) and the moisture removal roller (300).

[0025] The above moisture-absorbing rollers (200) are formed in multiple numbers at regular intervals on both sides of the upper structure (140) and rotate to remove moisture by moving the umbrella. Here, the roller length of the moisture-absorbing rollers (200) is typically formed to be long enough to correspond to the length of the umbrella.

[0026] The above moisture-absorbing rollers (200) are characterized by being formed with an incline such that the gap between a pair of opposing rollers widens as they go from the bottom to the top, taking into account the umbrella widening from the bottom to the top, thereby making the forward and backward movement of the umbrella natural.

[0027] In addition, a plurality of moisture-absorbing rollers (200) are formed at regular intervals, so that moisture can be quickly removed by moving the umbrella back and forth once, and the amount can be adjusted according to the usage environment.

[0028] The above moisture removal roller (300) is formed on both sides of the upper structure (140) and is in close contact with the rear side of the moisture removal roller (300), rotating in conjunction with the rotation of the moisture removal roller (300) to remove moisture from the moisture absorption roller (200). The above moisture removal roller (300) is formed in a number corresponding to each moisture absorption roller (200).

[0029] The above elastic spring (400) is installed on the moisture removal roller (300) and presses against the moisture absorption roller (200) to ensure close contact, thereby being linked to rotation.

[0030] Here, the upper structure (140) is characterized by being composed of, to explain in more detail, an outer plate (142) formed vertically above the lower structure (120), an upper plate (144) formed on the upper part of the outer plate (142), and a guide plate (146) that is inclined to correspond to the inclination of the water-absorbing roller (200) and guides the movement of the umbrella by exposing only a part of the water-absorbing roller (200) on the upper plate (144).

[0031] By forming the above guide plate (146), damage to the umbrella is prevented in advance from being rolled inward along the moisture absorption roller (200) when the umbrella moves back and forth.

[0032] Additionally, the lower structure (120) has multiple collection holes formed therein for collecting moisture from the top, and moisture passing through the collection holes falls to the bottom and is received through the drawer (122). The moisture in the drawer (122) can be removed manually.

[0033] Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 5, a shaft (220) is formed in the moisture absorption roller (200), and a shaft (320) is also formed in the moisture removal roller (300). At this time, bearings that facilitate rotation are installed on the shaft (220) and the shaft (320), and a guide plate (180) that guides the shafts (220, 320) can be formed. Here, a groove is formed in the guide plate (180) to guide the movement of the shafts (220, 230) so that the shaft (220) can be adjusted up and down to control the inclination angle of the moisture absorption roller (200), and a groove is formed to guide the movement of the shaft (320) so that the moisture removal roller (300) is elastically compressed toward the moisture absorption roller (200) by the elastic spring (400).

[0034] As described above, it can be seen that the present invention is based on the basic technical concept of an umbrella spinneret, and within the scope of such basic concept of the present invention, it is obvious that many other variations are possible for those skilled in the art.
