Shoe washing machine

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of washing equipment technology, specifically providing a shoe washing machine aimed at solving the problems of limited washing range and poor washing effect of existing shoe washing machines. To this end, the shoe washing machine of this invention has a rotatable bottom shoe washing brush at the bottom of the washing tub and a slidable side wall shoe washing brush on the side wall.

This reliably cleans shoes that are attached to the wall, thereby achieving a thorough cleaning of all shoes in the washing tub, resulting in comprehensive washing and excellent shoe washing effect.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of washing equipment technology, and specifically provides a shoe washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] A shoe washing machine is a specialized washing device for cleaning shoes. Existing shoe washing machines generally fall into two categories: brush-type and spray-type. Brush-type shoe washing machines are mostly pulsator-type machines, similar in structure to pulsator washing machines. These machines are improvements on the pulsator washing machine, incorporating brush columns on a rotating impeller. During washing, the impeller drives the brush columns to rotate, thus scrubbing and cleaning the shoes placed in the tub. Spray-type shoe washing machines consist of a box-shaped washing chamber and a water supply system. Inside the washing chamber are spray components connected to the water supply system, as well as shoe fasteners that secure the shoes within the spray range, allowing the high-velocity water jets to clean them.

[0003] However, both types of shoe washing machines have their own drawbacks. The brushes in a pulsator shoe washing machine are installed at the bottom of the tub, meaning they can only clean shoes near the bottom and center. Shoes that move against the walls due to centrifugal force or float to the top of the tub have very low contact with the brush column and cannot be reliably cleaned. Spray shoe washing machines rely mainly on spray water to clean shoes, but some stubborn stains attached to the shoe surface are difficult to remove by the spray water, resulting in relatively poor cleaning performance.

[0004] Accordingly, there is a need in the field for a new shoe washing machine to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, namely, to solve the problems of limited washing range and poor washing effect of existing shoe washing machines.

[0006] This invention provides a shoe washing machine, comprising a housing, a washing tub vertically disposed within the housing, and a bottom shoe washing brush, a guide member, and a side wall shoe washing brush disposed within the washing tub. The washing tub does not contain any structure restricting shoe movement. The bottom shoe washing brush is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the washing tub to agitate the washing water, forming a downward rotating vortex, thereby rubbing and washing the moving shoes carried within the vortex. The guide member extends from the upper to the lower part of the inner side wall of the washing tub. The side wall shoe washing brush is slidably connected to the guide member, allowing the side wall shoe washing brush to slide along the guide member using the upward force of the washing water, thereby rubbing and washing shoes moving near the side wall of the washing tub.

[0007] With the above technical solution, the shoe washing machine of the present invention can clean all shoes in the washing tub by means of the vortex of washing water. Each shoe that moves downward with the vortex is brushed by the bottom shoe washing brush. At the same time, the side wall shoe washing brush can also move up and down along the tub wall by means of the wall-climbing tendency of the washing water outside the vortex, so as to brush the shoes located outside the vortex and moving on the side wall, and reliably wash the shoes that float on the wall, so as to achieve a thorough cleaning of all shoes in the washing tub and a good shoe washing effect.

[0008] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned shoe washing machine, the guide component is a slide rail arranged vertically, and the bottom of the side wall shoe washing brush is provided with a sliding base that is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0009] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned shoe washing machine, there are multiple slide rails and multiple side wall shoe washing brushes. The multiple slide rails are evenly distributed along the inner side wall of the washing tub, and each slide rail is provided with at least one side wall shoe washing brush.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the side-wall shoe washing brushes can be arranged differentiated along the inner circumference of the washing tub. On the one hand, this reduces the difficulty of driving the brushes to slide when propelled by the washing water, making the sliding motion of the side-wall shoe washing brushes smoother and reducing the probability of them getting stuck during shoe washing. On the other hand, the independent movement of the side-wall shoe washing brushes allows different shoes to be rubbed against each other by brushes in different moving states as they move along the tub wall. This better adapts to situations where multiple shoes float, increasing the contact frequency between the side-wall shoe washing brushes and the shoes floating against the wall, further optimizing the shoe washing effect.

[0011] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned shoe washing machine, the side wall shoe washing brush is a dome-shaped brush.

[0012] When using the above technical solution, the dome-shaped brush protrudes sufficiently relative to the side wall of the washing tub, allowing for more reliable contact with shoes floating against the wall. Furthermore, compared to flat brushes, the curved surface of the dome-shaped brush extends the friction time between the shoes and the brush as they rub against it and float upwards, thus optimizing the washing effect of the side-wall shoe-washing brush.

[0013] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned shoe washing machine, there are multiple slide rails, which are distributed circumferentially along the inner sidewall of the washing tub. The shape of the sidewall shoe washing brush matches the shape of the inner sidewall of the washing tub, and the sidewall shoe washing brush is simultaneously slidably connected to multiple slide rails.

[0014] With the above technical solution, the side wall shoe washing brush can be extended to a certain extent along the inner side wall of the washing tub, which increases the width of the brushing surface of the side wall shoe washing brush. This not only adapts to the skewed movement of shoes when they float against the wall, but also allows it to contact most of the shoe surface simultaneously during the friction process, increasing the brushing area in a single friction scenario and improving shoe washing efficiency.

[0015] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned shoe washing machine, the brushing surface of the side wall shoe washing brush is provided with a slope that gradually moves away from the inner side wall of the washing tub from bottom to top.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, on the one hand, the friction time and friction effect between the shoes and the side wall shoe washing brush can be increased by promoting the shoes to climb the slope, thus optimizing the cleaning ability of the side wall shoe washing brush. On the other hand, the shoes floating against the wall can be guided to move towards the upper center of the washing tub, thereby entering the vortex and contacting the bottom shoe washing brush. A moving circulation is formed between the vortex and the rising water flow on the side wall, and the shoes are simultaneously brushed from multiple angles by the bottom shoe washing brush and the side wall shoe washing brush, greatly improving the shoe washing effect and efficiency.

[0017] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned shoe washing machine, the bottom shoe washing brush is disposed at the center of the bottom of the washing tub, and the shape of the bottom shoe washing brush is configured such that the radial dimension gradually increases from the top to the bottom.

[0018] When the above technical solution is adopted, the brushing surface of the bottom shoe washing brush has a shape that unfolds from top to bottom. On the one hand, it can match the movement of the shoe that can be swept and rotated by the vortex, so that the shoe can be brushed continuously as it rotates and moves downward around the bottom shoe washing brush, thus extending the friction time. On the other hand, it is convenient for the bottom shoe washing brush to receive shoes falling from all angles in the circumference, thereby increasing the probability of contact between the bottom shoe washing brush and the shoe and optimizing the washing effect of the bottom shoe washing brush.

[0019] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned shoe washing machine, the shoe washing machine further includes a pulsator, which is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the washing tub, and the bottom shoe washing brush is disposed at the top center of the pulsator.

[0020] By employing the above technical solution, the bottom shoe washing brush is assisted by a pulsator to agitate the washing water and shoes, thereby enhancing the agitation ability of the bottom shoe washing brush. This results in a faster vortex rotation process, increasing the frequency of friction and contact between the shoes in the vortex and the bottom shoe washing brush, thus improving the shoe washing efficiency.

[0021] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned shoe washing machine, the top of the impeller is provided with multiple water-repelling ribs, which are radially distributed around the top center of the impeller. The bottom of the bottom shoe washing brush is provided with multiple slots. When installed, each slot is embedded in one of the water-repelling ribs, and the bottom of the bottom shoe washing brush is in contact with the top surface of the impeller.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation gap between the bottom shoe cleaning brush and the top surface of the impeller can be minimized, and the bottom shoe cleaning brush and the impeller can be tightly fitted together, which can effectively prevent shoes or shoelaces from getting stuck between the bottom shoe cleaning brush and the impeller.

[0023] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned shoe washing machine, the bottom shoe washing brush is a hemispherical brush. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are as follows:

[0025] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the shoe washing machine of the present invention.

[0028] Those skilled in the art should understand that in the description of this invention, terms such as “center,” “upper,” “lower,” “left,” “right,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” “inner,” and “outer,” which indicate directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. This is merely for ease of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.

[0029] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] Based on the problems of limited washing range and poor washing effect of existing shoe washing machines pointed out in the background art, the present invention provides a shoe washing machine with a bottom shoe washing brush and a side wall shoe washing brush inside, so as to divide the washing space inside the washing tub into a vortex area and an outer vortex area by stirring the shoe washing water to form a vortex. The bottom shoe washing brush and the side wall shoe washing brush respectively brush the shoes wrapped in the vortex and the shoes floating along the inner wall of the tub, resulting in a comprehensive washing range and good shoe washing effect.

[0031] First refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the shoe washing machine of the present invention. (See diagram below.) Figure 1 As shown, the shoe washing machine of the present invention includes a housing 1, a washing tub 2 disposed within the housing 1, a bottom shoe washing brush 3, a side shoe washing brush, and a guide member 5. The washing tub 2 is vertically disposed within the housing 1 and is capable of holding washing water and shoes. A dispensing port and a lid that can open / close the dispensing port are provided at the top of the housing 1 corresponding to the opening of the tub. The bottom shoe washing brush 3 is rotatably disposed within the washing tub 2 and is configured to agitate the washing water within the washing tub 2 into a vortex through its rotational motion. The guide member 5 extends from the upper part to the lower part of the inner sidewall of the washing tub 2, and the side shoe washing brush is slidably connected to the guide member 5 and can slide up and down along the guide member 5. No structure restricting the movement of shoes is provided within the washing tub 2, allowing shoes to move freely within the washing tub 2 after being placed inside. In the shoe washing process, water enters the washing tub 2, and the bottom shoe washing brush 3 rotates to agitate the washing water. Most of the washing water in the washing tub 2 forms a downward spiraling vortex, and the washing water located on the outer periphery of the vortex and close to the inner wall of the washing tub 2 rises upward along the inner side wall of the washing tub 2. Figure 1 The dotted spiral line in the diagram indicates the rotation pattern of the vortex. The specific left- or right-hand rotation of the vortex can be controlled by the forward or reverse rotation direction of the bottom shoe cleaning brush 3. Figure 1The upward arrows indicate the flow trend of the washing water near the inner wall of the washing tub 2. Multiple shoes placed in the washing tub 2 move freely in the washing water. Except for the relatively heavy shoes that are flipped over near the bottom shoe washing brush 3 and cleaned by the friction of the bottom shoe washing brush 3, some of the relatively light shoes are carried by the eddy current and flipped over to the vicinity of the bottom shoe washing brush 3, where they are rotated and brushed by the bottom shoe washing brush 3. Some of the relatively light shoes are rotated and rubbed by the bottom shoe washing brush 3 and then move to the area near the inner wall of the washing tub 2. They are carried upward by the washing water rising along the inner wall of the washing tub 2 and float up to the side wall shoe washing brush and are rubbed and brushed by the side wall shoe washing brush. After the upward-moving shoes reach the washing water surface area, the shoes may fall back along the inner wall of the washing tub 2 and continue to be rubbed by the side wall shoe washing brush, or they may be swept up by the eddy current and carried to the vicinity of the bottom shoe washing brush 3 for brushing, and repeat the process of rising and being brushed by the side wall shoe washing brush. The guide member 5 is configured such that its lower end is close to the bottom shoe washing brush 3 and its upper end is not lower than the maximum water level in the washing tub 2 when washing shoes, so that when the side wall shoe washing brush slides to the lower part of the guide member 5, it can brush the shoes that are moving against the bottom wall of the washing tub 2, and when it slides to the upper part of the guide member 5, it can brush the shoes that are floating to the surface of the washing water.

[0032] With the above setup, during the entire shoe washing process, some shoes move close to the bottom shoe washing brush 3 and are frequently brushed by the bottom shoe washing brush 3, while some relatively lightweight shoes float up along the inner wall of the washing tub 2 and can be brushed by both the side wall shoe washing brush and the bottom shoe washing brush 3. This divides the washing space inside the washing tub 2 into a vortex zone and a tub wall area near the vortex zone. Shoes in the vortex zone can be driven by the vortex and continuously move closer to the bottom shoe washing brush 3, and be reliably cleaned by the bottom shoe washing brush 3. Shoes in the tub wall area can be brushed by both the side wall shoe washing brush and the bottom shoe washing brush 3, so that every shoe in the washing tub 2 can be thoroughly washed.

[0033] In the above embodiment, the sidewall shoe brush can slide up and down along the guide member 5. On the one hand, by moving, it can ensure a large washing range while preventing its size from being too large and hindering the movement of shoes. This greatly reduces the possibility that shoes will be stuck in a certain area of ​​the washing tub 2 and unable to move, making them difficult to be cleaned by the bottom shoe brush 3 or the sidewall shoe brush. This ensures the flexibility of shoe movement, allowing the shoes to move efficiently during the washing process and come into contact with the shoe brushes on different parts, achieving reliable cleaning of the shoes. On the other hand, the moving design of the sidewall shoe brush can also avoid hard collisions between the shoes and the sidewall shoe brush, reducing the likelihood of obvious scratches or impact damage caused by the impact when the shoes are hit by the sidewall shoe brush. This reduces the probability of damage to the shoes during the washing process and achieves gentle cleaning of the shoes.

[0034] Regarding the above, it should be noted that the washing tub 2 can be either a single-layer water tank or a double-layer tank. When the washing tub 2 is a double-layer tank, the washing tub 2 includes an outer tub 21 vertically arranged in the box body 1 and an inner tub 22 coaxially arranged in the outer tub 21. The outer tub 21 is enclosed to hold washing water and shoes, and the inner tub 22 has water passage holes distributed on its side wall to allow washing water to flow through.

[0035] In one possible scenario, the aforementioned guide member 5 is arranged non-vertically along the inner wall of the washing tub 2. In this case, the guide member 5 is provided with an inclination angle, which is at a certain angle to the vertical direction. However, the inclination angle of the guide member 5 allows the washing water rising along the inner wall of the washing tub 2 to push the side wall shoe brush to slide upward, so that the side wall shoe brush can move between the lower and upper parts of the washing tub 2 with the help of the guide member 5, and the width of the brushing range of the side wall shoe brush is widened by the inclination and sliding.

[0036] As a preferred example, the guide member 5 is a vertically arranged slide rail that extends from the lower part of the inner wall of the washing tub 2 (e.g., the position of the inner wall of the washing tub 2 near the bottom shoe brush 3) to the upper part (e.g., the liquid level of the washing water at the highest water level). The bottom of the side wall shoe brush is provided with a sliding base 41, which is slidably connected to the guide member 5 so that the side wall shoe brush can slide vertically up and down along the guide member 5 via the sliding base 41. This allows the force of the washing water rising along the inner wall of the washing tub 2 to effectively drive the side wall shoe brush to move, ensuring the smooth movement of the side wall shoe brush and thus increasing the frequency of contact between the side wall shoe brush and the shoes near the side wall of the washing tub 2.

[0037] In the above example, the guide member 5 can be either an integrally formed guide structure on the inner side wall of the washing tub 2, or an independent component installed on the side wall of the washing tub 2 via a connection. Similarly, the arrangement of the sliding base 41 and the side wall shoe brush is not limited. The sliding base 41 can be integrally formed with the body of the side wall shoe brush, or it can be assembled together via a connection. In addition, the specific shapes of the sliding base 41 and the guide member 5 are not limited. Those skilled in the art can set the specific shapes of the guide member 5 and the sliding base 41 according to actual connection requirements. For example, when the guide member 5 is a groove structure formed on the side wall of the washing tub 2 or a grooved component installed on the side wall of the washing tub 2, the sliding base 41 can be a slider that matches the shape of the groove and can be slidably engaged in the groove. Alternatively, when the guide member 5 is set in the form of a raised track, the sliding connection end of the sliding base 41 can be provided with a slot structure that can slidably cover and engage in the track.

[0038] In the first embodiment of the present invention, the side wall shoe washing brushes are distributed on the side wall of the washing tub 2. Specifically, there are multiple slide rails and multiple side wall shoe washing brushes. The multiple slide rails are evenly distributed along the circumference of the inner side wall of the washing tub 2, and each slide rail is provided with at least one side wall shoe washing brush, so that the multiple shoe washing brushes can be distributed along the circumference of the inner tub 22 of the washing tub 2, thereby brushing the lightweight shoes floating and moving in various directions on the inner side wall of the washing tub 2, adapting to the irregular falling situation after the shoes move up, increasing the friction frequency between the shoes and the side wall shoe washing brushes, and optimizing the shoe washing effect of the side wall shoe washing brushes. In this case, the side wall shoe cleaning brush is preferably designed as a dome-shaped brush, so that the brushing surface of each side wall brush is a smooth arc surface, which makes it easier for the shoe to smoothly pass over the side wall shoe cleaning brush and rub against the side wall shoe cleaning brush during movement, softening the brushing effect of the side wall shoe cleaning brush, reducing the degree of wear on the shoe surface, and the spread-out brushing surface of the side wall shoe cleaning brush extends the friction time between the shoe and the brushing surface of the side wall shoe cleaning brush, ensuring the cleaning effect of the side wall shoe cleaning brush.

[0039] In the second embodiment of the present invention, there are multiple slide rails distributed circumferentially along the inner sidewall of the washing tub 2. The shape of the sidewall shoe-washing brush matches the shape of the inner sidewall of the washing tub 2, and it has the same curvature as the sidewall of the washing tub 2. For example, the sidewall shoe-washing brush is set in a cylindrical ring or an arc-shaped plate. The inner ring of the cylindrical ring or the concave arc surface of the arc-shaped plate is provided with bristles. The sliding base 41 includes multiple sliding connection structures disposed on the sidewall shoe-washing brush. Each slide rail is slidably assembled with at least one sliding connection structure so that one sidewall shoe-washing brush can be slidably connected with multiple slide rails at the same time. In this case, one sidewall shoe-washing brush can be provided in the washing tub 2, or multiple sidewall shoe-washing brushes can be provided that do not interfere with each other. Each shoe-washing brush has a large brushing surface disposed along the inner sidewall of the washing tub 2, and the brushing range is greatly improved, making the washing more comprehensive.

[0040] For either the first or second embodiment described above, preferably, the brushing surface of the sidewall shoe washing brush has a slope that gradually moves away from the inner wall of the washing tub 2 from bottom to top. That is, the distance between the bottom of the brushing surface of the sidewall shoe washing brush and the inner wall of the washing tub 2 is the smallest, and the distance gradually increases from bottom to top, with the maximum distance between the top of the brushing surface and the inner wall of the washing tub 2. This design allows for a larger area of ​​the sidewall shoe washing brush to be impacted by the upward-flowing washing water, making it easier for the washing water to propel the brush upwards against gravity, thereby further increasing the frequency of contact between the sidewall shoe washing brush and the floating shoes. Furthermore, the slope of the sidewall shoe washing brush allows for longer and more reliable friction with the floating shoes, significantly optimizing the effectiveness of the sidewall shoe washing brush.

[0041] In the third embodiment of the present invention, the sidewall shoe-washing brush is any one of the shoe-washing brushes in the first and second embodiments described above. The bottom shoe-washing brush 3 is preferably disposed at the bottom center of the washing tub 2, and the shape of the bottom shoe-washing brush 3 is configured such that the radial dimension gradually increases from the top to the bottom, so that the bottom shoe-washing brush 3 unfolds from top to bottom. This not only provides a larger bottom size and better stirring ability, but also a smooth, unfolded brushing surface, improving the thoroughness of the washing with the bottom shoe-washing brush 3, reducing the probability of shoes accumulating and getting stuck between the bottom shoe-washing brush 3 and the sidewall of the washing tub 2, and ensuring the smooth rotation of the bottom shoe-washing brush 3. As an example, the bottom shoe-washing brush 3 can be configured as a hemispherical brush.

[0042] In one possible scenario, the bottom shoe brush 3 is directly rotated at the bottom of the washing tub 2, and the drive device 231 is located at the bottom of the washing tub 2. The output end of the drive device 231 passes through the bottom of the washing tub 2 and is connected to the bottom shoe brush 3 so as to drive the bottom shoe brush 3 to rotate.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, a rotatable impeller 23 is located at the center of the inner bottom of the washing tub 2. A bottom shoe-washing brush 3 is positioned on top of the impeller 23 and coaxially arranged with it. A drive device 231 is connected to the impeller 23, which drives the bottom shoe-washing brush 3 to rotate. In this configuration, the impeller 23 assists the bottom shoe-washing brush 3 in agitating the washing water and shoes, optimizing the agitation ability of the brush, enhancing the vortex rotation effect and the water-climbing effect of the washing water, resulting in a more thorough cleaning of the shoes and improved washing performance. In this scenario, as an example, the bottom shoe cleaning brush 3 is detachably connected to the impeller 23. The impeller 23 has multiple radially arranged water-repelling ribs on its top, radiating from the center of the top. The bottom of the bottom shoe cleaning brush 3 has multiple circumferentially arranged slots, the shape of which matches the raised shape of the water-repelling ribs. Furthermore, the bottom surface shape of the bottom shoe cleaning brush 3 matches the top surface shape of the impeller 23. When installed, the bottom of the bottom shoe cleaning brush 3 is in contact with the top surface of the impeller 23, and the slots on the bottom of the bottom shoe cleaning brush 3 are respectively embedded and engaged with a water-repelling rib to restrict rotational misalignment between the bottom shoe cleaning brush 3 and the impeller 23. Simultaneously, the bottom shoe cleaning brush 3 has an internal thread structure at its center, and the impeller 23 has a through hole at its center allowing fasteners to pass through. Screws and other fasteners can be screwed into the bottom shoe cleaning brush 3 through the through hole to prevent the bottom shoe cleaning brush 3 from detaching from the impeller 23. By adopting the above installation method, a seamless connection between the bottom shoe cleaning brush 3 and the impeller 23 can be achieved, which can effectively prevent shoes or shoelaces from getting stuck between the bottom shoe cleaning brush 3 and the impeller 23.

[0044] In summary, the washing tub 2 of the shoe washing machine of the present invention is provided with a rotatable bottom shoe washing brush 3 at the bottom and a side wall shoe washing brush that can slide up and down on the side wall. This allows the bottom shoe washing brush 3 to brush the shoes moving in the vortex and the shoes moving near the bottom shoe washing brush 3 during the washing process, while the side wall shoe washing brush can brush the shoes floating and moving upward, so that each shoe in the washing tub 2 can be reliably washed.

[0045] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
