Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a wax drying apparatus that can efficiently dry wax applied to a floor or a staircase.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In office buildings and factories, waxing is regularly performed to protect floors and steps of stairs. The most time-consuming task in the wax application operation is drying the applied wax. Conventionally, the drying time of the wax is shortened by applying air to the wax application surface using a blower.
[0003]
However, for example, in order to dry the wax applied to the floor surface, when a blower is placed on the front side of the wax application surface and air is applied to the wax application surface, the blowing direction of the blower is substantially parallel to the floor surface that is the wax application surface. Direction. For this reason, since only a part of the wind blown from the blower hits the wax application surface, there is a problem that the drying efficiency is extremely poor.
[0004]
Therefore, if the air blowing direction of the blower is set downward, the amount of air hitting the wax application surface can be increased and the drying efficiency can be improved. Such a wax drying apparatus is disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1 below. The wax simple drying apparatus disclosed here has a structure in which a blower capable of blowing air on a wax application surface is attached to the lower surface of a base plate of a movable hand cart.
[0005]

JP-A-10-192759 [0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when the air blowing direction of the blower is brought closer to the direction perpendicular to the floor surface on which the wax is applied, the amount of wind hitting the wax application surface increases, but the range of the wind hitting becomes inversely proportional to it. Therefore, it is necessary to move the blower frequently, which is inconvenient.
[0007]
In addition, when drying the wax applied to the stairs, it is necessary to install a blower at a landing or the like, so that it is not possible to efficiently blow the wind against the tread surface or the kick surface. In particular, since it is difficult to apply wind to the corners of the tread surface and the kick surface, it takes time to dry the wax applied to the stairs.
[0008]
In view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to propose a wax drying apparatus that can efficiently blow wind blown from a blower onto a floor surface or a staircase surface coated with wax.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, the wax drying apparatus of the present invention includes a blower and a blower bag. The blow bag is formed of a flexible material, and closes the vertically long cylindrical body, an opening formed at one end of the cylindrical body, and the other end of the cylindrical body. And a bottom portion formed by the above method. Furthermore, the said cylindrical trunk | drum is provided with the air permeable part extended toward the said bottom part from the said opening part, and parts other than the said air permeable part are formed from the airtight part which does not let air flow. Furthermore, the blower bag has the opening attached to the blower side of the blower with the breathable part facing downward. When air is sent into the air blowing bag, the air blowing bag expands and floats in a cylindrical shape, and air is blown out downward from the air-permeable portion.
[0010]
In the wax drying apparatus of the present invention, by appropriately setting the weight of the blower bag and the blower amount of the blower, when the wind is blown from the blower into the blower bag, the blower bag made of a flexible material expands. A state is formed in which the blown wind is blown downward from the air-permeable portion, and the blower bag is lifted from the floor surface. When the blowing bag in this state is moved onto the floor surface coated with wax, the wind blows downward from the blowing bag and hits the wax coating surface substantially perpendicularly, so that the wax is efficiently dried. Can do. After the wax on the lower side of the blower bag has dried, if the blower is turned to the right or left to change the direction of blowing, the blower bag also turns to the right or left with the blower as the center. The surface can be dried.
[0011]
Here, in order to make the amount of air blown from the breathable portion of the air bag substantially uniform in the portion from the opening side to the bottom side, the cylindrical body portion of the air bag is It is desirable that the shape be tapered from the opening toward the bottom.
[0012]
In order to facilitate the storage, storage, and handling of the wax drying device, the opening of the blowing bag is attached to the blower so that it can be attached to and detached from the blower. It is desirable to remove it.
[0013]
Furthermore, it is desirable to be able to adjust the length of the air bag by folding the bottom side portion of the cylindrical body of the air bag so that the width of the wax application surface can be accommodated. .
[0014]
On the other hand, in the wax drying operation on the stairs or the like, it is necessary to float the blower bag obliquely along the stairs. For this purpose, it is desirable that the blowing direction of the blower can be adjusted up and down. Furthermore, it is desirable that the length of the blow bag can be adjusted by folding back the opening portion.
[0015]
The air bag can be formed by stitching an airtight cloth and a breathable cloth.
[0016]

[0023]
(Wax drying operation)
An operation when the wax applied to the floor surface is dried using the wax drying apparatus 1 having the above-described configuration will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that a floor surface portion indicated by diagonal lines is a wax application surface 4 on which wax is applied. In this case, the wax drying apparatus 1 is placed on the floor surface portion where the wax is not applied or on the floor surface portion 5 after the wax has already been dried. Next, the blower 2 is driven to send air into the blower bag 3. When the wind is sent, the blower 3 expands and extends horizontally as shown in FIGS. 1B and 2A, floats from the floor surface portion 5, and defines a lower surface portion thereof. A state is formed in which air is blown downward from the breathable cloth 35.
[0024]
After this state is formed, the blower 2 is rotated 90 degrees as indicated by an arrow in FIG. As a result, the blowing bag 3 extending horizontally around the blower 2 also turns 90 degrees, and the wax is positioned on the undried wax coating surface 4. In this state, the wind blown horizontally forward from the blower 2 is blown into the blower bag 3 and blown downward substantially vertically through the air-permeable cloth 35 on the lower side. Therefore, the wind blown from the blower 2 is efficiently blown from the substantially vertical direction to the portion of the wax application surface 4 located on the lower side of the blower bag 3. Therefore, the wax application surface 4 can be efficiently dried.
[0025]
After the portion of the wax coating surface 4 on the lower side of the blowing bag 3 is dried, the blowing bag 3 is moved to the undried portion of the adjacent wax coating surface 4 by slightly rotating the blower 2 left and right, The wax in the part is dried. By repeating such a procedure, the entire wax coated surface 4 can be efficiently dried.
[0026]
Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the operation | movement in the case of drying the wax application surface of a staircase using the wax drying apparatus 1 of this example is demonstrated. In this case, first, the male side fastener of the opening 32 is such that the lengthwise dimension of the air bag 3 is longer in the upper part of the air bag 3 than in the lower part of the air bag 3. 36 and female side fasteners 37. Then, the wax drying device 1 is placed on the landing 6 or the like, and the blower 2 is driven to inflate and float the blower bag 3. Next, by using the angle adjustment mechanism 25, the air blowing direction of the blower 2 is adjusted downward so that the air blowing bag 3 is substantially parallel to the inclination direction of the stairs 7.
[0027]
In this state, the wind blown downward from the portion of the breathable cloth 35 of the blower bag 3 is blown to the tread surface 8 and the kick surface 9 of the staircase 7 and also to the corner portions 10 of the air bag reliably. Be sprayed. Therefore, the drying operation of the wax in the staircase 7 can be performed efficiently and in a short time.
[0028]
When the wax drying apparatus 1 is not provided with the angle adjusting mechanism 25, as shown in FIG. 5, a load receiving stand P or the like is disposed below the blower 2, or an operator holds the blower 2 to blow the air. By adjusting the direction downward, the blower bag 3 may be substantially parallel to the inclination direction of the stairs 7.
[0029]
Moreover, although the air bag 3 of this example is formed by stitching the airtight cloth 34 and the air permeable cloth 35, it is formed from a cloth made of a single material having airtightness, and a part thereof is formed. It is also possible to form a breathable part in a mesh form.
[0030]
Furthermore, when there is much ventilation volume, the part by the side of the opening part 32 of the ventilation bag 3 will be in a negative pressure state. In that case, an opening for ventilation may be formed in the cylindrical body portion 31 near the opening portion 32.
[0031]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the wax drying apparatus of the present invention, the blower bag is floated from the floor surface or the like by the blower, and the air-permeable part is positioned in the lower part of the blower bag, and the wind is blown downward from the part. Is coming out. Therefore, the wind blown horizontally from the blower can be blown from a vertical direction over a wide range against the wax application surface such as the floor surface. Therefore, it becomes possible to dry the wax coated surface efficiently and quickly. In addition, since the blowing bag floats from the wax application surface, there is no adverse effect such that the undried wax adheres to the blowing bag and is wiped off from the floor surface.
[0032]
Furthermore, if the wax drying apparatus of the present invention is used, it is possible to blow air reliably on the corners of the steps of the steps, so that the wax applied to the steps of the steps is efficiently and quickly dried. be able to.
