[0036] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0037] Secondly, it should be noted that in the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the terms "inner" and "outer", etc., which indicate the direction or positional relationship, are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation on the embodiments of the present invention.

[0038] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of the embodiments of the present 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 mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] The smart shoe cabinet in the related technology includes a cabinet body, a heat pump system, a door body, and a control switch. The cabinet body has an operating side that is designed to face the user. The operating side has a recessed storage space that is used to store shoes. The cabinet body has a first air inlet and a first air outlet that are connected to the storage space.

[0041] A heat pump system includes a compressor, evaporator, condenser, and fan. The compressor, evaporator, and condenser are connected by pipes through which refrigerant flows. The evaporator, condenser, and fan are connected by an air duct. The fan circulates air within the duct. The duct has a second air outlet and a second air inlet at each end. The second air outlet connects to the first air inlet, and the second air inlet connects to the first air outlet. After the heat pump system starts, the compressor causes a gas-liquid conversion of the refrigerant, lowering the evaporator temperature and raising the condenser temperature. The humid, hot air in the containment space enters the air duct through the first air outlet and the second air inlet. Passing through the evaporator, the water vapor in the air condenses due to the lower temperature, turning the air into dry, cool air. When the dry, cool air reaches the condenser, the higher temperature heats it into dry, hot air. This dry, hot air flows from the second air outlet and the first air inlet into the containment space. This cycle continues, continuously supplying hot, dry air into the containment space to heat and dry the shoes within.

[0042] The door is hinged to the cabinet and is used to enclose the storage space. A control switch is located on the cabinet and is used to control the connection and disconnection of the first air inlet and the second air outlet.

[0043] To use the smart shoe cabinet, open the door to expose the storage space, place the shoes inside, and turn on the control switch to connect the first air inlet to the second air outlet. Then close the door and wait for the shoes to dry. Once the shoes are dry, open the door and turn off the control switch to disconnect the first air inlet from the second air outlet.

[0044] However, the control switch needs to be operated before and after the shoes are dried. If the user forgets to turn on the control switch after placing wet shoes in the cabinet, the shoes will remain in the enclosed space for a long time, leading to bacterial growth, mold, and unpleasant odors. Furthermore, if the user forgets to turn off the control switch after the shoes are dried, it will increase the power consumption of the smart shoe cabinet, wasting energy.

[0045] This embodiment provides a smart shoe cabinet that uses an elastic element to control the opening and closing of a first air vent. When shoes are placed on the shoe rack, the elastic element controls the first air vent to open; when shoes are taken off the shoe rack, the elastic element controls the first air vent to close. Users only need to put or take out shoes without any other operations, making it more convenient to use.

[0046] The principles and features of the embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent shoe cabinet provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a cabinet body 100, a shoe bracket 200, and elastic elements. The cabinet body 100 has an operating side that is perpendicular to the horizontal plane and is designed to face the user. A receiving groove 110 is provided on the operating side. The receiving groove 110 can be a cuboid groove. A first connecting plate 103 is provided within the receiving groove 110. The first connecting plate 103 is parallel to the horizontal plane and divides the receiving groove 110 into a first space 111 and a second space 112. The second space 112 is located below the first space 111. A first air vent 104 is provided on the first connecting plate 103, and the first space 111 and the second space 112 are connected through the first air vent 104. The cabinet body 100 has a first air inlet 101 and a second air outlet. The first air inlet 101 is connected to the first space 111, and the first air outlet 102 is connected to the second space 112.

[0048] The shoe bracket 200 is housed within the second space 112. The top of the shoe bracket 200 has a second connecting plate 201, which is parallel to the first connecting plate 103. The projection of the second connecting plate 201 onto the first connecting plate 103 covers the first air vent 104. A first preset gap exists between the bottom end of the shoe bracket 200 and the bottom end of the receiving groove 110. The shoe bracket 200 is used to hold shoes.

[0049] The elastic element is connected to the cabinet 100. The elastic element can be connected between the cabinet 100 and the shoe rack 200. When no shoes are placed on the shoe rack 200, the elastic element is used to make the second connecting plate 201 abut against the first connecting plate 103 to close the first air vent 104. The elastic element is also used to separate the second connecting plate 201 from the first connecting plate 103 when shoes are placed on the shoe rack 200 to open the first air vent 104.

[0050] The smart shoe cabinet may also include a drying device 400, which is installed inside the cabinet body 100. The drying device 400 includes a fan 404 and an air duct 405. The fan 404 is installed on the air duct 405 and causes the air in the air duct 405 to circulate. The two ends of the air duct 405 have a second air outlet and a second air inlet. The second air outlet is connected to the first air inlet 101, and the second air inlet is connected to the first air outlet 102.

[0051] Furthermore, the drying device 400 may also include a compressor 401, an evaporator 402, and a condenser 403. The compressor 401, the evaporator 402, and the condenser 403 are connected by a pipe 406, in which refrigerant flows. The evaporator 402, the condenser 403, and the fan 404 are connected by an air duct 405. After the drying device 400 is started, the compressor 401 causes the refrigerant to undergo gas-liquid conversion, which lowers the temperature of the evaporator 402 and raises the temperature of the condenser 403. The hot and humid air from the second space 112 enters the air duct 405 from the first air outlet 102 and the second air inlet. When passing through the evaporator 402, the water vapor in the air condenses due to the low temperature of the evaporator 402, turning the air into dry and cold air. When the dry and cold air flows to the condenser 403, the dry and cold air is heated into dry and hot air due to the high temperature of the condenser 403. The dry and hot air flows from the second air outlet and the first air inlet 101 into the first space 111. This cycle continues, continuously feeding hot and dry air into the accommodating tank 110 to heat and dry the shoes on the shoe rack 200.

[0052] To enhance the airflow speed within the air duct 405, a fan 404 and an auxiliary fan 407 can be connected to the air duct 405. The fan 404 can be positioned near the second air outlet and is used to direct airflow from the air duct 405 to the first space 111, thereby increasing the airflow speed from the second air outlet to the first space 111. The auxiliary fan 407 can be positioned near the second air inlet and is used to direct airflow from the second space 112 to the air duct 405, thereby increasing the airflow speed between the second space 112 and the air duct 405 and improving the drying effect.

[0053] like Figure 2As shown, when shoes are placed on the shoe rack 200, the elastic element separates the second connecting plate 201 from the first connecting plate 103, thereby removing the obstruction of the first air vent 104 by the second connecting plate 201. Air in the air duct 405 enters the first space 111 from the second air outlet and the first air inlet 101, and then enters the second space 112 from the first air vent 104 to dry the shoes on the shoe rack 200. Air in the second space 112 then returns to the air duct 405 from the first air outlet 102 and the second air inlet. Figure 2 The dashed arrows indicate the direction of airflow, and this cycle continues until the shoes on shoe rack 200 are dried.

[0054] Continue to refer to Figure 1 After the shoes on the shoe rack 200 are dried, the user takes the shoes off the shoe rack 200. At this time, the elastic element causes the second connecting plate 201 to abut against the first connecting plate 103 to seal the first air vent 104, so that air cannot enter the second space 112.

[0055] The smart shoe cabinet in this embodiment includes a cabinet body 100, a shoe bracket 200, and an elastic element. The cabinet body 100 has a receiving groove 110, within which a first connecting plate 103 is disposed. The first connecting plate 103 is parallel to a horizontal plane and divides the receiving groove 110 into a first space 111 and a second space 112 located below the first space 111. A first air vent 104 is disposed on the first connecting plate 103. The cabinet body 100 has a first air inlet 101 and a first air outlet 102. The first air inlet 101 communicates with the first space 111, and the first air outlet 102 communicates with the second space 112. The support 200 is housed in the second space 112. The top of the shoe support 200 has a second connecting plate 201, which is parallel to the first connecting plate 103. The projection of the second connecting plate 201 on the first connecting plate 103 covers the first air vent 104. There is a first preset gap between the bottom end of the shoe support 200 and the bottom end of the receiving groove 110. The elastic element is connected to the cabinet 100. The elastic element is used to make the second connecting plate 201 abut against the first connecting plate 103 when no shoes are placed on the shoe support 200. The elastic element is also used to separate the second connecting plate 201 from the first connecting plate 103 when shoes are placed on the shoe support 200. With the above settings, the connection and disconnection between the first air vent 104 and the second air outlet are controlled by the elastic element. When the shoe is placed on the shoe rack 200, the elastic element controls the connection between the first air vent 104 and the second air outlet; when the shoe is taken off the shoe rack 200, the elastic element controls the disconnection between the first air vent 104 and the second air outlet. The user only needs to put in or take out the shoe without any other operation, making it more convenient to use.

[0056] In some embodiments, the extension direction of the elastic member is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the top end of the elastic member is connected to the groove wall at the top of the receiving groove 110, and the bottom end of the elastic member is connected to the second connecting plate 201.

[0057] When no shoes are placed on the shoe bracket 200, the shoe bracket 200 is subjected to its own weight and the tension of the elastic element. The direction of the tension is vertically upward, the direction of gravity is vertically downward, and the tension is greater than the gravity, so that the shoe bracket 200 moves upward until the second connecting plate 201 abuts against the first connecting plate 103, the first air vent 104 is closed, and the first space 111 and the second space 112 are separated.

[0058] When a shoe is placed on the shoe bracket 200, the shoe bracket 200 is subjected to its own weight, the weight of the shoe, and the tension of the elastic element. The weight of the shoe bracket 200 and the shoe is greater than the tension of the elastic element. The shoe bracket 200 moves downward so that the second connecting plate 201 separates from the first connecting plate 103, the first air vent 104 opens, and the first space 111 and the second space 112 are connected.

[0059] In other embodiments, the extension direction of the elastic element is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the bottom end of the elastic element is connected to the groove wall at the bottom of the receiving groove 110, and the top end of the elastic element is connected to the bottom end of the shoe bracket 200.

[0060] When no shoes are placed on the shoe bracket 200, the shoe bracket 200 is subjected to its own weight and the elastic force of the elastic element. The direction of the elastic force is vertically upward and the elastic force is greater than the weight. The elastic element pushes the shoe bracket 200 upward, causing the shoe bracket 200 to move upward until the second connecting plate 201 abuts against the first connecting plate 103, the first air vent 104 is closed, and the first space 111 and the second space 112 are separated.

[0061] When a shoe is placed on the shoe bracket 200, the weight of the shoe bracket 200 and the shoe is greater than the elastic force of the elastic element. The shoe bracket 200 presses the elastic element downward, causing the second connecting plate 201 to separate from the first connecting plate 103, the first air vent 104 to open, and the first space 111 and the second space 112 to connect.

[0062] The aforementioned elastic element may include a spring 300. The spring 300 has a simple structure and is easy to install. Multiple springs 300 may be provided, and the multiple springs 300 are arranged at intervals to prevent the shoe bracket 200 from tilting during up and down movement.

[0063] Of course, elastic elements can also include rubber bands, as long as the elastic force of the elastic element changes with the deformation of the elastic element within the elastic limit.

[0064] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The shoe bracket 200 may also include a shelf 202, which is located below the second connecting plate 201. The shelf 202 is parallel to the second connecting plate 201. Both ends of the shelf 202 along the extending direction of the receiving groove 110 are connected to the second connecting plate 201 by connectors. The shelf 202 is used to place shoes.

[0065] The connector may include a connecting rod 203, the axis of which is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Multiple connecting rods 203 are provided at both ends of the shelf 202 along the extension direction of the receiving groove 110, and the multiple connecting rods 203 are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the operating side.

[0066] The connecting rod 203 can connect the second connecting plate 201 and the shelf 202. The gap between adjacent connecting rods 203 can also allow air to flow through, making it easier for air in the second space 112 to enter the shoe bracket 200, so that the shoes dry faster.

[0067] Of course, the connector may also include a connecting plate, which is perpendicular to the horizontal plane and may have flow holes to allow air in the second space 112 to easily enter the shoe bracket 200, so that the shoes dry faster.

[0068] In some embodiments, a support plate 105 is further provided in the second space 112. The support plate 105 is parallel to the horizontal plane, located below the shelf 202, and has a second preset gap (e.g., ...) between the support plate 105 and the shelf 202. Figure 1 (As shown), so that the shoe rack 200 has room to move downwards. The support plate 105 is used to support the shelf 202 when shoes are placed on the shoe rack 200. When the weight of the shoes is large, the shoes and the shoe rack 200 move downwards and abut against the support plate 105 (as shown). Figure 2 As shown), this prevents the shoe support 200 from continuing to move downwards, which would cause the elastic force of the spring 300 to exceed its elastic limit and prevent the spring 300 from returning to its original state.

[0069] There is a third preset gap between the support plate 105 and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 110. A second air vent is provided on the shelf 202 and a third air vent is provided on the support plate 105. The second air vent and the third air vent face each other, so that air can enter the bottom of the shelf 202 to dry the shoe sole and speed up the drying speed of the shoes.

[0070] There can be multiple receiving slots 110. Multiple receiving slots 110 are arranged sequentially in a direction parallel to the horizontal plane and parallel to the operating side. Multiple first spaces 111 are connected and multiple second spaces 112 at the bottom of the support plates 105 are connected. The first air outlet 102 is set on the bottom wall of the receiving slot 110.

[0071] For example, the receiving slot 110 may include a first receiving slot and a second receiving slot. The first space 111 in the first receiving slot and the first space 111 in the second receiving slot are connected. The second space 112 in the first receiving slot located at the bottom of the support plate 105 is connected to the second space 112 in the second receiving slot located at the bottom of the support plate 105. Air can enter the first space 111 in the first receiving slot from the first air inlet 101, and it can also enter the first space 111 in the second receiving slot. Furthermore, the air in the first receiving slot and the air in the second receiving slot can both flow to the second space 112 at the bottom of the support plate 105 and be discharged from the first air outlet 102.

[0072] Multiple accommodating slots 110 enable the smart shoe cabinet to dry multiple pairs of shoes simultaneously, and the drying of each pair of shoes is controlled by a corresponding spring 300. As long as there are shoes on the shoe rack 200, the spring 300 connected to the shoe rack 200 will control the corresponding first air vent 104 to open. After the shoes are removed from the shoe rack 200, the spring 300 controls the first air vent 104 to close, so the drying of multiple pairs of shoes will not affect each other.

[0073] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a storage slot 120 is also provided on the operating side. The storage slot 120 includes a first slot wall 121 and a second slot wall 123. Both the first slot wall 121 and the second slot wall 123 are perpendicular to the horizontal plane. A third air inlet 122 is provided on the first slot wall 121, and the third air inlet 122 is connected to a second air outlet. A third air outlet 124 is provided on the second slot wall 123, and the third air outlet 124 is connected to the second air inlet. Figure 4 The dashed arrow indicates the direction of airflow.

[0074] The storage tank 120 can be used for daily shoe storage, and the drying device 400 can blow a small amount of hot air into the storage tank 120 to keep the inside of the shoes dry.

[0075] Storage slots 120 can be located above or below accommodating slots 110. There can be multiple storage slots 120, which can be arranged sequentially in a vertical direction to increase the storage space for shoes in the smart shoe cabinet.

[0076] In the implementation where a storage tank 120 is also provided on the operating side, a control switch 106 can be connected to the first air inlet 101. The control switch 106 may include a solenoid valve or a sensor control switch. When no shoes are placed in any of the multiple receiving tanks 110 and the shoes in the storage tank 120 need to be dried, the control switch 106 controls the first air inlet 101 to close (e.g., ...). Figure 3As shown, almost all the air from the drying device 400 flows into the storage tank 120 to speed up the drying of the shoes in the storage tank 120.

[0077] When shoes are placed in the receiving tank 110 and the shoes in the storage tank 120 need to be dried, the control switch 106 controls the first air inlet 101 to open (e.g., Figure 4 (As shown), to simultaneously dry the shoes in the receiving tank 110 and the storage tank 120.

[0078] In summary, the intelligent shoe cabinet of this embodiment includes a cabinet body 100, a shoe bracket 200, and an elastic element. The cabinet body 100 has a receiving groove 110, and a first connecting plate 103 is disposed in the receiving groove 110. The first connecting plate 103 is parallel to the horizontal plane and divides the receiving groove 110 into a first space 111 and a second space 112 located below the first space 111. A first air vent 104 is disposed on the first connecting plate 103. The cabinet body 100 is provided with a first air inlet 101 and a first air outlet 102. The first air inlet 101 communicates with the first space 111, and the first air outlet 102 communicates with the second space 112. The shoe rack 200 is housed within the second space 112. The top of the shoe rack 200 has a second connecting plate 201, which is parallel to the first connecting plate 103. The projection of the second connecting plate 201 onto the first connecting plate 103 covers the first air vent 104. There is a first preset gap between the bottom end of the shoe rack 200 and the bottom end of the receiving groove 110. An elastic element is connected to the cabinet 100. The elastic element is used to make the second connecting plate 201 abut against the first connecting plate 103 when no shoes are placed on the shoe rack 200. The elastic element is also used to separate the second connecting plate 201 from the first connecting plate 103 when shoes are placed on the shoe rack 200. With the above settings, the connection and disconnection between the first air vent 104 and the second air outlet are controlled by the elastic element. When the shoe is placed on the shoe rack 200, the elastic element controls the connection between the first air vent 104 and the second air outlet; when the shoe is taken off the shoe rack 200, the elastic element controls the disconnection between the first air vent 104 and the second air outlet. The user only needs to put in or take out the shoe without any other operation, making it more convenient to use.

[0079] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
