Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of drying equipment, and in particular to a shoe drying machine. Background Art

[0002] There is a lot of moisture in the shoes after brushing. Due to the structural characteristics of the shoes themselves, moisture tends to accumulate at the toe. The natural air drying method is too slow. If the shoes are not completely dry for a long time, it is easy to cause mold inside the shoes, which also affects people's wearing experience.

[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN215189694U, publication date December 12, 2021, discloses a shoe drying box that can dry shoes evenly. A shoe drying box that can dry shoes evenly includes a box body and a placement rack. The box body is provided with a drying chamber with an opening, and the drying chamber is provided with an infrared heating tube. The placement rack is in the drying chamber, and the placement rack is provided with a drying layer. The drying chamber is also provided with a guide rail and a heating rack, and the heating rack is arranged parallel to the drying layer; the guide rail is connected to the bottom of the drying chamber in a vertical direction, and the guide rail is connected to a lifting cylinder; the drying layer includes a support plate and a plurality of positioning seats, and the positioning seats are all fixed on the top surface of the support plate; the heating rack is connected to the lifting cylinder and is provided with a plurality of air pipes and a blower, and the positions of the air pipes correspond to different positioning seats and are all connected to the blower.

[0004] However, the traditional drying method uses the principle of heat conduction through steam, that is, high-temperature steam is generated through infrared heating tubes, and the high-temperature steam is transferred to the low-temperature drying rack under the action of a blower, so that the temperature on the surface of the drying rack rises, thereby heating and drying the shoes. This method has low drying efficiency, causes great damage to the shoes, and is also prone to uneven drying. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to improve the problems of low drying efficiency, great damage to shoes, and uneven drying in the shoe drying method in the related art, the present application provides a shoe drying machine.

[0006] The shoe drying machine provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A shoe drying machine comprises a shell, wherein a first cavity and a second cavity are arranged in the shell, wherein the first cavity is located at the bottom of the shell, and the second cavity is located above the first cavity, and the first cavity and the second cavity are connected to each other, and a fan, an evaporator, and a condenser are arranged in the shell, and the fan, evaporator and condenser are located in the first cavity, and the condenser is located between the fan and the evaporator.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the fan provides power, and the air in the shell continuously circulates among the fan, the first cavity, the second cavity, the evaporator, the condenser, and the fan. After one cycle, dry hot air is blown out to take away moisture in the shoes and dry the shoes with hot air. In this way, the shoes are dried using their own heat source, thereby replacing the traditional heat source. The drying of the shoes is more uniform and is not easy to damage the shoes.

[0009] Preferably, the shell has a first opening above the first cavity, and the shell is rotatably provided with a shoe box cover for closing the first opening.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the shoes to be dried are placed in the first cavity, and then the shoe box cover is rotated to dry the shoes in a relatively closed space, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the shoe drying machine.

[0011] Preferably, a second opening is provided above the first cavity in the shell, an adjusting plate is rotatably provided on the shell, a motor is provided on the shell for driving the adjusting plate to rotate, and the adjusting plate is used to close the second opening.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjustment plate is driven to rotate by a motor. When the adjustment plate and the side wall of the shell are at a certain angle, external air will enter the shell, which has a cooling effect on the shell. During use, people can control the motor to adjust the rotation of the adjustment plate to close or open the adjustment plate and the shell, thereby adjusting the temperature inside the shell, so that the temperature inside the shell is not easy to overheat and cause damage to the shoes.

[0013] Preferably, a guide plate is further provided in the shell, and the guide plate is located in the second cavity. The guide plate divides the second cavity into a shoe placing part for placing shoes and a temperature regulating part for regulating temperature, and the shoe placing part and the temperature regulating part are interconnected.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the shoe placing part and the temperature regulating part are distinguished from each other by the guide plate. Due to the action of the fan, most of the air in the shell flows along a prescribed distance. When people open or close the adjustment plate, the air in the shell will go through one or several cycles before acting on the shoes. In this way, when the dryer dries the shoes, the process of adjusting the temperature in the shell acts on the shoes slowly, rather than quickly switching between hot and cold, and is less likely to cause damage to the shoes.

[0015] Preferably, a temperature sensor is provided in the temperature adjustment part, the temperature sensor is electrically connected to a controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the motor.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the temperature inside the shell is adjusted by a temperature sensor and a controller, thereby improving the convenience for people to control the temperature of the air flowing in the shell.

[0017] Preferably, a plurality of discontinuous air duct holes are provided on the guide plate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the discontinuous air duct holes reduce the diameter of the air flow, thereby increasing the flow rate of the passing wind. In this way, during the process of drying the shoes, the efficiency of the dryer for drying shoes is improved, and during the process of adjusting the temperature inside the shell, the efficiency of temperature control is improved.

[0019] Preferably, a supporting plate is provided on one side of the guide plate close to the temperature adjustment part, and the supporting plate is located at the bottom of several of the air duct holes. When the adjustment plate and the side wall of the shell with the second opening are in a vertical state, the adjustment plate abuts against the supporting plate.

[0020] Preferably, a first magnet is disposed on the shoe box cover, and a second magnet that attracts the first magnet is disposed on the shell. When the shoe box cover closes the first opening, the first magnet and the second magnet fit together.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the first magnet and the second magnet attract each other. When the shoe box cover is closed, the interaction between the first magnet and the second magnet allows the shoe box cover to automatically fit tightly on the corresponding position of the shell, which improves the sealing of the dryer during operation and the convenience of closing the shoe box cover.

[0022] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. When drying shoes, the shoe box cover is in a closed state, and the shell is in a closed state. The fan provides power, and the air in the shell continuously circulates through the fan, the first cavity, the second cavity, the evaporator, the condenser, and the fan. After a cycle, dry hot air is blown out to take away the moisture in the shoes and blow hot air to dry the shoes. In this way, the shoes are dried using their own heat source, thereby replacing the traditional heat source. The drying of the shoes is more uniform and is not easy to damage the shoes.

[0024] 2. When the temperature inside the shell is too high, the temperature sensor sends a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the motor to work. The motor drives the adjustment plate to flip, so that the adjustment plate rests on the resting plate. At this time, a part of the hot air in the shell is discharged to the outside of the shell along the surface of the adjustment plate after passing through a number of air duct holes. As the adjustment plate flips, the cold air from the outside air can enter the shell from the second opening. When the temperature inside the shell drops to a reasonable numerical range, the temperature sensor sends a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the motor to work. The motor drives the adjustment plate to flip and close the second opening, thereby adjusting the temperature inside the shell and not easily damaging the shoes.

[0025] 3. The shoe placing part and the temperature regulating part are separated from each other by the guide plate. Due to the action of the fan, most of the air in the shell flows along a prescribed distance. When people open or close the adjustment plate, the air in the shell will go through one or several cycles before acting on the shoes. In this way, when the dryer dries the shoes, the process of adjusting the temperature in the shell acts on the shoes slowly, rather than quickly switching between hot and cold, which is less likely to cause damage to the shoes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.

[0031] The present application embodiment discloses a shoe drying machine. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The shoe drying machine includes a shell 1, a first opening 7 and a second opening 9 are provided on the top of the shell 1, a first cavity 2 and a second cavity 3 are divided inside the shell 1, the first cavity 2 and the second cavity 3 are connected to each other, the second cavity 3 is located above the first cavity 2, the first cavity 2 is located at the bottom of the shell 1, a fan 4, an evaporator 5 and a condenser 6 are arranged in the first cavity 2, the condenser 6 is located between the fan 4 and the evaporator 5, the evaporator 5 and the condenser 6 are parallel to each other, and the evaporator 5 and the condenser 6 are arranged obliquely in the first cavity 2.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner wall of the first cavity 2 of the housing 1 is fixed with a guide plate 12, and the guide plate 12 divides the first cavity 2 into a shoe placing part 13 for placing shoes and a temperature regulating part 14 for regulating temperature, wherein the first opening 7 is opened in the shoe placing part 13, and the second opening 9 is opened in the temperature regulating part 14, and the guide plate 12 is provided with a plurality of discontinuous air duct holes 17. The housing 1 is rotatably provided with a shoe box cover 8 for closing the first opening 7, and the shoe box cover 8 is provided with a first magnet 19, and the housing 1 is provided with a second magnet 11 that attracts the first magnet 19, and when the shoe box cover 8 closes the first opening 7, the first magnet 19 and the second magnet 11 fit each other.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The housing 1 is rotatably provided with an adjusting plate 10, and a motor (not shown in the figure) is fixed to the housing 1 for driving the adjusting plate 10 to rotate. The adjusting plate 10 is used to close the second opening 9. A supporting plate 18 is provided on the side of the guide plate 12 close to the temperature adjustment part 14. The supporting plate 18 extends along the length direction of the guide plate 12, and the supporting plate 18 is located at the bottom of a plurality of air duct holes 17. When the adjusting plate 10 is in a vertical state with the side wall of the housing 1 where the second opening 9 is opened, the air volume entering the housing 1 from the outside is the largest, and at this time, the adjusting plate 10 is against the supporting plate 18. A temperature sensor 15 is provided in the temperature adjustment part 14, and the temperature sensor 15 is electrically connected to a controller (not shown in the figure), and the controller is electrically connected to the motor. It is understandable that during the process of drying shoes, people can control the operation of the motor to adjust the temperature inside the shell 1 according to the drying time based on past experience or through other methods such as observation.
