The shoe fixing mechanism 8 is arranged on the rear side wall of the box body, and the outlet of the water inlet pipe 3 is provided with a nozzle for spraying water toward the shoe surface.

[0029] After fixing a single shoe, the shoe washing machine makes the brush 51 rotate along the circumference of the shoe and wash the shoe in real time close to the shoe surface, reducing the cleaning loss of the shoe, automatically cleaning, easy to operate, small in size, and small in duty cycle. When installing, the shoe washing machine can be installed by embedding it in the wall.

[0030] The shoe fixing mechanism 8 is provided with an automatic telescopic mechanism and a shoe body positioning mechanism which can move along the height direction of the shoe after one or several weeks of cleaning, so as to achieve washing of different heights of the shoe surface.

[0031] The driving mechanism includes an annular slide rail 4 located outside the circumference of the shoe upper, and a slider that can slide along its circumference is provided on the annular slide rail 4. The slider is connected to the cleaning part mounting mechanism, and the cleaning part mounting mechanism includes an adaptive shoe upper curve mechanism 5. The cleaning part 51 includes a rotating cleaning brush, and the cleaning part can also be a sponge, etc.

[0032] The annular slide rail 4 is fixed on the left and right side walls, top wall and bottom wall of the box respectively. Of course, the driving mechanism can also be a rotatable annular driving mechanism, and the annular driving mechanism is connected to the adaptive upper curve mechanism 5 that can adapt to the upper curve.

[0033] The annular slide rail can be an annular electromagnetic slide rail, and the slider is an electromagnetic slider; of course, when the annular slide rail is a general slide rail, the slider can be driven by a crank rocker mechanism, or a rack can be set in the slide rail, and the slider is a gear driven by a motor.

[0034] The self-adaptive vamp curve mechanism 5 is a mechanism that can retract after being pressurized, and a rotating cleaning brush is connected to the end of the mechanism that can retract after being pressurized.

[0035] Preferably, the mechanism capable of retracting after being compressed comprises telescopic rods nested with each other, a spring is provided in the telescopic rods, a motor is connected to the free end of the telescopic rods, and a cleaning brush is connected to the output shaft of the motor.

[0036] The mechanism that can retract under pressure includes first telescopic rods 52 that are nested with each other, a spring is provided in the first telescopic rod 52, two second telescopic rods 57 are hinged at the free end of the first telescopic rod 52 through a first hinge shaft 55, a first torsion spring 59 is provided between the two second telescopic rods 57, a motor 58 is connected to the free ends of the two second telescopic rods 57, and a cleaning brush is connected to the output shaft of the motor 58. Such a structure makes the adaptive effect better, and the cleaning brush setting can increase the cleaning efficiency.

[0037] The automatic telescopic mechanism that can move along the height direction of the shoe includes an electric or pneumatic telescopic rod 88 controlled by a control device. A base 81 is provided on the box body, and the bottom of the electric or pneumatic telescopic rod is fixed on the base 81. The end of the moving rod of the electric or pneumatic telescopic rod is provided with a shoe body positioning mechanism.

[0038] The shoe body positioning mechanism includes an airbag shoe stretcher or a mechanical shoe stretcher. The airbag shoe stretcher is a ventilated flexible rubber with an internal support inside the shoe body. The mechanical shoe stretcher includes a support block 82 connected to an electric or pneumatic telescopic rod. Two compressed retraction mechanisms 84 are hinged on the support block 82 through a second hinge shaft 83. A fixed rod is radially provided at the free end of the compressed retraction mechanism 84, and rollers 85 are rotatably provided at both ends of the fixed rod. A second torsion spring 86 is provided between the two compressed retraction mechanisms 84. After closing the two compressed retraction mechanisms by hand, the roller can be extended into the shoe. After releasing the hand, the wheel supports and fixes the shoe.

[0039] The connection between the support block 82 and the electric or pneumatic telescopic rod adopts a quick-release connection that is convenient for rapid disassembly.

[0040] A drying plate 6 is also provided in the box body, which can dry the cleaned shoes and is very convenient to use.

[0041] The outlet of the water inlet pipe is provided with a nozzle for spraying water toward the upper of the shoe.

[0042] The box is divided into two compartments by a vertical partition, and each compartment is provided with a shoe washing device and a nozzle, so that the shoe washing machine can wash a pair of shoes at the same time.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to ensure uniform force on the shoe surface during the cleaning process, the shape of the track in the box can be set according to the shape of the shoe, so that the pressure on the shoe cleaning surface can be basically consistent during the rotation of the cleaning part 51; at the same time, considering water conservation, the discharge of the cleaning water is divided into three stages. The first stage is the preliminary flushing stage, and the water used in this stage is directly discharged. The second stage is the clean water with added detergent, which can be pumped out and recycled by a pump, and the third part of the flushing water is directly discharged.

[0044] This shoe washing machine can solve the problems of traditional shoe washing machines that can only wash one type of shoes, occupy a large space, wash shoes indiscriminately, and reduce the life of shoes, greatly reducing the damage to shoes. It reduces the possibility of shoes degumming due to drum washing, and also extends the life of shoes. It can also be dried after washing, which is more convenient than traditional shoe washing machines. In order to achieve targeted washing, this product uses AI camera sampling technology, which can identify the material of the shoes, and then conduct deep learning on the shoes based on the imported material information. Through the large database, the washing method is determined according to the material of the shoes, and the washing time is determined according to the volume. It changes the inherent drum-type indiscriminate washing, making shoe washing more convenient, while greatly saving water resources.

[0045] The shoe washing machine has the following advantages:

[0046] 1) The system combines a three-dimensional hanging system with brushes and nozzles, breaking away from the constraints of traditional drum-type shoe washers. Camera recognition allows the system to identify the material of the shoe, thereby selecting the appropriate brush and detergent for targeted cleaning.

[0047] 2) Targeted cleaning can save a lot of water resources.

[0048] 3) It can be installed in a built-in manner without taking up any space in the home.

[0049] The shoe washing machine puts the shoes into the opening and closing mechanism at the rear of the machine and fixes them. After closing the door, the AI ​​camera scans the image. After the image is recognized, the information is processed by the processor to select the appropriate brush and detergent. The brushes on the left and right sides are powered on and the brushless motors work, while cleaning the entire shoe around the track. The telescopic rod at the rear can move the shoes back and forth, and the disc structure of the brush heads on the left and right sides is similar to that of a household mop head. After the brush touches the shoe, it fits the shoe surface, making cleaning without dead angles. After cleaning, the drying unit at the rear starts. After drying, the disinfection nozzle on the rear side sprays atomized disinfectant to fully disinfect and deodorize the entire pair of shoes. After that, the door is unlocked, the user can take away the shoes, and the sewage flows away from the drain.

[0050] After cleaning a pair of shoes, the system can store the cleaning process information. The next time you wash the same shoes, you can skip the scan and directly perform targeted cleaning, which is more convenient.

[0051] The surface of the box is equipped with a child lock to prevent children from being injured by the robotic arm due to curiosity.

[0052] Example 2, as Figure 8 As shown, a shoe washing machine capable of reducing shoe wear and tear comprises a housing and a door. The front side of the housing is open, and the left side of the door is hingedly mounted on the housing. A sealing ring is provided on the side of the door facing the housing to seal the housing opening. A handle is provided on the right side of the door. The door is a glass door, i.e., glass is installed in the door frame for easy observation. Support legs are provided at the four corners of the outer bottom surface of the housing. The housing is provided with a water inlet pipe and a water outlet, and the water outlet is provided at the lower part of the housing. A shoe washing device is provided in the housing. The shoe washing device comprises a shoe fixing mechanism 8 and a cleaning member 51 capable of cleaning the upper of the shoe. The cleaning member 51 is mounted on the cleaning member mounting mechanism. In this example, the cleaning member mounting mechanism is fixed, and the shoe fixing mechanism 8 is driven to rotate by a power mechanism. The shoe fixing mechanism 8 is mounted on the rear side wall of the housing, and a nozzle is provided at the outlet of the water inlet pipe to spray water onto the upper of the shoe.

[0053] The shoe fixing mechanism 8 is composed of an automatic telescopic mechanism, a rotating mechanism and a shoe body positioning mechanism that can move along the height direction of the shoe after one or several weeks of cleaning. The automatic telescopic mechanism includes an electric or pneumatic telescopic rod 88 controlled by a control device, and a base 81 is provided on the box body. An elastic rubber rod or spring 89 is provided between the bottom of the electric or pneumatic telescopic rod 88 and the base 81. The setting of the elastic rubber rod or spring 89 can make the shoe fixing area also adaptive, so as to maximize the range of shoe cleaning sizes. A rotating mechanism 90 is provided at the end of the moving rod of the electric or pneumatic telescopic rod 88, and the shoe body positioning mechanism 91 is connected to the front end of the rotating mechanism 90. The rotating mechanism is a brushless motor.

[0054] The shoe body positioning mechanism 91 includes an airbag shoe support or a mechanical shoe support. The airbag shoe support is a flexible rubber with ventilation and internal support inside the shoe body. The mechanical shoe support is as follows: Figure 5 , including a support block 82 connected to an electric or pneumatic telescopic rod, two compressed retraction mechanisms 84 are hinged on the support block 82 through a second hinge shaft 83, a fixed rod is radially provided at the free end of the compressed retraction mechanism 84, and rollers 85 are rotatably provided at both ends of the fixed rod. A second torsion spring 86 is provided between the two compressed retraction mechanisms 84. After closing the two compressed retraction mechanisms by hand, the rollers can be extended into the shoes. After releasing the hands, the wheels support and fix the shoes.

[0055] When using an airbag shoe tree, the flexible airbags are constructed in two layers. The inner layer is a sealed structure that inflates, while the outer layer has a water outlet. A cleaning fluid or water injection mechanism is located between the two airbags. This structure allows for the internal discharge of clean liquid, increasing the evenness of the cleaning fluid application. The airbag support also increases contact with the cleaning surface, improving cleaning effectiveness. Mechanical shoe trees are also equipped with a water spray mechanism for internal flushing.

[0056] The cleaning component mounting mechanism utilizes an adaptive shoe curve mechanism 5, which retracts upon pressure. A rotating cleaning brush is connected to the end of the mechanism. The most common retractable mechanism is a nested, spring-loaded telescopic rod structure. The rotating cleaning brush consists of a brushless motor and a brush attached to its shaft. To further adapt to varying shoe curves, the bristles on the brush have a gradually varying length and a cam-shaped cross-section. This increases vibration and cleaning force during the cleaning process, further enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not limiting. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solutions, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
