The washing sleeve is made of water-permeable and water-resistant fabric, and there are washing strips inside the sleeve body. The object to be washed is placed inside the washing sleeve, and the cleaning can be completed through an ordinary washing program. Additionally, the washing sleeve is used in conjunction with a shoe support. The shoe support supports the upper from the inside, and the cleaning of the shoes can be completed through an ordinary washing program. Background Art

[0002] Currently, for the well-known washing sleeves applied to washing machines, there are no washing strips inside the sleeve body, and they can only be rinsed by water flow. Their outer shape structures are relatively fixed, with support structures, not soft, unable to fit irregular objects to be washed for cleaning. During the shoe-washing process, there is no support inside the shoes, and the upper will sag, weakening the washing force and resulting in poor effects. Most of the hand-washing tools for shoes are nylon brushes, which cause great damage to the fabric fibers of the shoes during the washing process. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the drawbacks of the existing washing sleeves applied to washing machines, where there are no washing strips inside the sleeve body, they can only be rinsed by water flow, their outer shape structures are relatively fixed, with support structures, not soft, unable to fit irregular objects to be washed for cleaning, there is no support inside the shoes during the shoe-washing process, the upper will sag, weakening the washing force and resulting in poor effects, and most of the hand-washing tools for shoes are nylon brushes, which cause great damage to the fabric fibers of the shoes during the washing process.

[0004] The present invention provides a washing sleeve for a washing machine made of fabric with washing strips, and a washing sleeve combination for washing shoes with a washing machine, which is composed of the washing sleeve and a shoe support.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A washing sleeve combination for washing shoes with a washing machine is composed of a shoe support and a washing sleeve. The washing sleeve is made of water-resistant and water-permeable fabric, and there are washing strips inside the washing sleeve. There is an opening on the sleeve body. After placing the object to be washed, the object to be washed is restricted inside the sleeve body through a sealing mechanism to prevent it from falling out during the washing process. Before washing shoes, the shoe support is inserted into the shoes to be washed, the shoes with the support are placed into the washing sleeve, detergent is poured into the washing sleeve, and through the sealing mechanism, the shoes are prevented from leaking during the washing process. The shoes together with the washing sleeve are put into the washing machine and an ordinary washing program is selected. During the washing process of the washing machine, the washing sleeve containing the shoes will continuously rub against the upper. The washing strips inside the washing sleeve are like thousands of soft cloth brushes continuously cleaning the upper. Finally, through the functions of washing, rinsing, and spinning dry of the washing machine, the purpose of washing shoes is achieved.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This device only needs to be used in conjunction with an ordinary washing machine to clean items such as shoes, achieving the purpose of shoe washing. It has low cost and strong versatility. During the washing process, the shoe upper is supported by the shoe support and does not sag, making the washing more effective. The washing sleeve and washing strips are made of fabric, which conforms to and contacts the shoe upper after getting wet, being soft and not damaging the fiber of the shoe upper, reducing the damage to the shoes caused by the washing tools themselves.

[0008] The present invention overcomes the drawbacks of existing washing sleeves applied to washing shoes in a washing machine. During washing, without a brush, only water flow can be used for rinsing. The external shape structure is fixed and cannot conform to the shoe upper for cleaning. The shoe upper has no support, and the shoe upper sags during the washing process, weakening the washing force and resulting in poor cleaning effect. Most shoe hand-washing tools are nylon brushes, which cause great damage to the fabric fibers of the shoes during the washing process. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0009] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

One side 105 of the zipper is sewn at the upper end of the sleeve body. 102 is the washing strip, which is an inherent part of the chenille fabric. 103 is the upper cover of the washing sleeve, made of water-resistant and porous fabric, and the other side 104 of the zipper is sewn at the edge. 106 is the lower cover of the washing sleeve, which is sewn together with the washing sleeve body; Figure 2 is the upper cover sewn with washing strips; Figure 3 is the shoe support; Figure 4 is the shoe drying hook. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] As shown in the figure, a shoe washing sleeve combination for a washing machine consists of Figure 1 the washing sleeve in Figure 3 and the shoe support in

[0012] The body 101 of the washing sleeve is made of chenille fabric. Chenille is a fabric commonly used in carpet products with columnar flannelette vertically distributed on its surface. The cloth surface is distributed with columnar flannelette strips 102, and 102 are the washing strips. The upper cover 103 is a porous water-resistant fabric with larger voids and better water permeability than chenille, which is more conducive to the flow of water. The zipper 104 is fixed to the edge of the upper cover 103 by sewing, and the zipper 105 is fixed to the upper edge of the sleeve body by sewing. The zipper 104 and the zipper 105 form a zipper combination, so that an openable and closable structure is formed between the upper cover and the body of the washing sleeve, and the internal items will not leak out after closing. The lower cover 106 and the body of the washing sleeve are fixed together by sewing. When this invention is applied to washing shoes in a washing machine, first, a shoe support is inserted into the shoe to be washed to support the shoe upper. Then, the supported shoe is put into the washing sleeve, an appropriate amount of detergent is added, and the upper cover of the washing sleeve is closed through the zippers 104 and 105. The washing sleeve containing the shoes is put into the washing machine and the ordinary laundry program is selected. During washing, the wet body of the washing sleeve will fit the shoe upper. Under the impact of the washing machine barrel wall and the driving effect of the water flow, the washing strips inside the washing sleeve will continuously rub and creep relative to the shoe upper. Through the friction between fabrics in large quantities and multiple times, the cleaning purpose of the shoe upper is finally achieved just like washing clothes. For the washed shoes, by using Figure 4 the airing shoe hooks in the middle, the shoes can be hung upside down on both sides, and then the shoes can be dried just like drying clothes.

[0013] In addition, after the shoes are put into the washing sleeve, the cleaning effect on the toe and heel parts of the shoes is relatively weak. Therefore, if Figure 2 , the chenille fabric is sewn and fixed to the inner side of the upper cover and the inner side of the lower cover, the cleaning effect at the toe and heel parts of the shoes can be partially enhanced.

[0014] The washing sleeve in this device can not only be used for washing shoes. When the washing sleeve is used independently in combination with a washing machine, it can effectively enhance the cleaning effect of items that need to be washed separately, such as bras, underwear, and panties, and at the same time, it will not damage the fabric fibers of the items to be washed. During the daily process of washing clothes in a washing machine, the clothes will achieve the washing purpose through processes such as stacking and rubbing against each other. However, for a small amount of underwear and panties that need to be washed separately, they cannot achieve the purpose of self-cleaning through fabric overlapping and rubbing. The unique washing strips and soft fabric of this washing sleeve can fit the items to be washed during the washing process and have an effective physical washing effect, and avoid the fabric fibers of the items to be washed being damaged by directly contacting the inner barrel wall of the washing machine, and generally achieve a better washing effect.

[0015] It should be noted that after the washing sleeve and the shoes are put into the washing machine, due to their light weight, they are very likely to float in the case of a large amount of water and cannot effectively contact the barrel wall. At this time, they can only rotate with the water flow in the washing machine to drive the fabric and the washing strips to produce a cleaning effect. Although there is a certain cleaning effect, it is discounted. Therefore, when washing a small number of shoes, as little washing water as possible should be selected to achieve a better washing effect.

[0016] When using a plastic shoe tree to wash lightweight shoes, the overall weight is light and the downward force during the washing process is small. A weight mechanism can be added to the shoe tree. The weight block is fixed to the shoe tree to increase the overall weight of the shoe tree and the shoes to be washed, increase the downward force, which is beneficial to washing lightweight shoes and enhance the washing effect.

[0017] During the implementation process, the purpose of the shoe tree is to provide support force for the shoe upper. It can also achieve the purpose of internal shoe support through other means such as stuffing and multi-point support. For example, stuffing cloth, installing an inflatable mechanism that can expand, and installing a bendable elastic sheet in the shoe to form a support structure by using the self-constraint of the shoe upper and the self-expansion trend of the elastic sheet.

[0018] During the washing process, washing strips can be added to the shoe tree to enhance the washing effect inside the shoe. The washing strips are connected to the shoe tree by means such as gluing and sewing. Then, during the washing process, the washing strips attached to the shoe tree will have a washing effect on the inner surface of the shoes. The function of the shoe tree is to be anchored inside the shoes, restricting the movement range of the washing strips to inside the shoes. The shoe tree does not have to provide full support for the shoe upper from inside the shoe. It only needs to ensure that the shoe upper does not sag too much under the combination of the shoe tree and the washing strips. The washing strips can also be cloth with washing strips on the surface, such as chenille. The described washing strips can be cloth strips, strip-shaped nylon brushes, nylon brush balls connected to the shoe tree by a cord, plastic or rubber washing balls, etc. The washing strips are connected to the shoe tree and do not fall out. The washing strips connected to the shoe tree will freely rub against the inner surface of the shoes inside the shoe and cooperate with the shoe upper washing sleeve to achieve the washing effect of jointly cleaning inside and outside.

[0019] In this example, although the sealing mechanism uses a combination of a cloth cover and a zipper, it should not be limited to this form. The sealing mechanism can also use a combination of a drawstring and a locking buckle commonly used in the waist of a windbreaker, a drawstring for sealing, or the male-female button form commonly used in clothes. When actually used, the sealing mechanism of the washing sleeve does not have to be completely closed. Even if there are gaps, as long as they are smaller than the internal washing items to prevent the washing items from falling out. When using a zipper, since the metal part of the zipper head is exposed outside and is easily damaged by long-term impact with the washing machine barrel wall, a zipper protection sleeve can be added at the end of the zipper. By sewing a piece of cloth or a drawstring at the end to form a hole-like shape to completely wrap the zipper. In addition, there is a buckle on the cover of the clothes pocket. Its form can be used to add an upper cover with male-female buttons at the end of the zipper. After the zipper is pulled to the end, the male-female buttons can be buckled to protect the zipper head.

[0020] Since the washing sleeve is itself made of cloth, it also needs to be dried after each washing. For convenient drying, like the belt buckle at the waist of trousers, the drawstring buckle at the back of the shoe, and the hanging buckle at the collar of the clothes, drying hanging buckles can be sewn on the outside of the washing sleeve.

[0021] During the washing process of the shoes, the insole is located inside the shoes. The insole can be taken out and placed in a smaller washing sleeve. The insole washing sleeve can be in the shape of a long wallet, and there are also washing strips on the inner side. It is put into the washing machine together with the shoe body washing sleeve for common washing, and a better insole washing effect can be achieved.

[0022] After the shoes are washed, they are usually placed on the ground or window sill to dry naturally. Through Figure 4 the shoe drying hooks in [reference], the shoes can be hung upside down on both sides, just like hanging clothes, and the shoes can be hung for drying. The shoe drying hooks are not limited to the Figure 4 shape in [reference]. The shoe drying hook consists of a hook at the upper end for hooking the clothes drying rod and a U-shaped hook at the lower end. There can be multiple U-shaped hooks, not limited to 2.

[0023] In addition, the present invention can also be used for hand-washing shoes. After the supported shoes are put into the washing sleeve, the chenille fabric will completely wrap the shoe surface. Under the conditions of wetting and the presence of detergent, rub the washing sleeve to drive the washing strips inside the washing sleeve to rub against the shoe surface. Then, through the processes of rinsing and spinning, the cleaning of the shoes can be completed. It can be operated before putting them into the washing machine, and it has a good supplementary effect on the corners that cannot be cleaned during the washing process by the washing machine.

[0024] The present invention overcomes the drawbacks of the existing washing sleeves. The external structure is relatively fixed, there is a support structure, it is not soft, it cannot fit the shoe surface for cleaning, there are no washing strips inside the sleeve body, there is no support inside the shoes during the washing process, the shoe surface will sink, and the washing force will be weakened. Most of the hand-washing tools are nylon brushes, which cause great damage to the fabric fibers of the shoes during the washing process.
