What it does

The portable umbrella dryer detects the umbrella through an infrared IR sensor and quickly removes water droplets with warm air. The rechargeable battery makes it easy to use anywhere.


Your inspiration

The Portable Umbrella Dryer was developed to address the inconvenience of removing moisture from umbrellas when entering buildings or vehicles on rainy days. Inspired by hand dryers and tunnel car washes, it combines their principles to quickly dry umbrellas. It is practical, portable, and environmentally friendly, contributing to sustainable living with its reusable design. This device reduces inconvenience on rainy days and helps maintain a pleasant indoor environment.


How it works

When the umbrella is inserted, the ultrasonic sensor detects it and automatically starts operation High wind DC fans generate strong winds and coils at the front end of the motor generate heat to warm. It transmits a single wind. In this process, the fan and heater elements are combined to control the wind strength and temperature It is. Waterproof heating wire heaters protect against getting wet and help with fast drying. Pear on PCB substrate Easy to use with Turley Lifetime Display LED and Rechargeable Type C port, this operation. Through the principle, water drops from umbrellas are quickly removed to solve the problem of water falling indoors or in vehicles.


Design process

The process of developing a portable umbrella dryer went as follows. First, the inconvenience on a rainy day. We decided to develop a reusable device to solve the problem and protect the environment. To do this, high wind power DC fan, waterproof heating wire, ultrasonic sensor, and rechargeable C-type port were selected for a simple design C. After creating an initial prototype to control fans, heaters, sensors, etc. using Circuit boards, we optimized the performance through testing in various environments. After that, we designed the PCB board and all the spheres Integrated components, added battery life indicator LEDs and rechargeable C-type ports. Final product was tested to verify performance and durability, and was ready for mass production. We have completed a practical umbrella dryer that maximizes portability and convenience.


How it is different

Portable umbrella dryer compensates for the shortcomings of existing plastic covers and umbrella drying racks in the building. It's an innovative product that reduces light pollution and removes moisture perfectly. Instead of a plastic cover, reuse Contribute to environmental protection by using a capable device, combining a high wind power DC fan with a waterproof heating wire heater. It dries the umbrella quickly with strong wind and warm air. Automatic umbrella through ultrasonic sensors. It operates conveniently by detecting with, and its compact design maximizes portability for easy anytime, anywhere Available. Quick and easy to charge via rechargeable Type C port, battery. The Lifetime Indication LED provides a visual notification of the battery status to the user, this original theory. Through the system and function, you can effectively solve the inconvenience of rainy days and maintain a pleasant environment.


Future plans

To enhance the feasibility and user experience of portable umbrella dryers, we plan to upgrade the technology and install large models in public places. Adding a smartphone app for real-time monitoring and AI for optimal drying settings will improve functionality. Large models will be placed in locations like building entrances and subway stations to automatically dry umbrellas. Effectiveness will be tested and improved as needed, making the umbrella dryer more convenient and reducing rainy day inconveniences.
