Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of drying equipment, and in particular to an all-in-one shoe drying and dehumidifying 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 can easily accumulate at the toe. Using natural air drying to dry the shoes is too slow, causing the shoes to not dry for a long time and easily become moldy.

[0003] Related technologies typically use shoe dryers to dry shoes. The main principle is that steam conducts heat, transferring high-temperature steam to a low-temperature drying plate. This heats the plate surface, heating and drying the shoes. In actual use, dehumidification is often required, typically by adding a dehumidifier.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned related technologies improve the efficiency of shoe drying, their functions are relatively simple. The related technical field urgently needs a machine that can both dehumidify the environment and dry the shoes. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to improve the problem of single function of shoe drying machines in related technologies, the present application provides an all-in-one shoe drying and dehumidifying machine.

[0006] The present application provides a shoe drying and dehumidifying machine that adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A shoe drying and dehumidifying machine includes a shell, wherein a first cavity and a second cavity which are interconnected are provided in the shell, the first cavity is located at the bottom of the shell, a fan, an evaporator and a condenser are provided in the first cavity, the condenser is located between the fan and the evaporator, and a first guide plate is also provided in the shell, the first guide plate divides the second cavity into a shoe placement portion and a guide portion, the first guide plate is provided with an air duct opening to connect the shoe placement portion and the guide portion, the side wall of the shell where the guide portion is provided is provided with a first opening, the shell is rotatably provided with a conversion plate for closing the first opening, the first guide plate is connected to a horizontally arranged abutment plate, and the abutment plate is located below the air duct opening.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the conversion plate closes the first opening, the fan works normally to provide power, and the air in the shell circulates in the order of the fan, the first cavity, the second cavity, the evaporator, the condenser, and the fan. In this way, the air blown out after an internal circulation is dry hot air, which takes away the moisture in the shoes and blows the hot air to dry them; when the conversion plate is opened, the conversion plate is at a certain angle to the shell and rests on the top of the abutment plate. At this time, the outside air enters the shell from one side of the conversion plate. Since the abutment plate blocks the air duct opening, the air will pass through the evaporator, the condenser, the first cavity, the fan, the second cavity in turn and then enter the external circulation again through the other side of the conversion plate. By opening or closing the conversion plate to convert the internal and external circulation, the shoe dryer can be used as a shoe dryer and as a dehumidifier for the external environment, which increases the function of the shoe dryer and is easy to convert into multiple working modes.

[0009] Preferably, the side wall of the conversion plate facing the shell is provided with a plurality of mutually parallel air duct plates.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process of air circulation in the shell, the air duct plate has a guiding effect on the air, which has the beneficial effect of increasing the wind speed.

[0011] Preferably, the air duct openings are discontinuously provided on the first guide plate, and one of the air duct openings corresponds to each two air duct plates.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the air duct opening and the air duct plate are set correspondingly, which reduces the diameter of the wind during the flow process and further increases the wind speed.

[0013] Preferably, the evaporator and the condenser are parallel to each other, and the evaporator and the condenser are gradually close to the fan from bottom to top. A plate and a filter are provided in the guide part, and the plate and the filter are integrally formed. One side of the filter extends to the evaporator, and the other side of the filter is connected to the inner wall of the shell, one side of the plate is connected to the filter, and the other side of the plate is connected to the first guide plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the integrally formed plate and filter have better stability and strength than the filter. At the same time, during the circulation process, the wind passes through the filter from the second cavity into the first cavity, and the air after entering the filter has more effective contact area with the evaporator, thereby improving the efficiency of drying and dehumidification.

[0015] Preferably, a second guide plate is connected to the bottom of the plate body, the cross-section of the second guide plate is triangular, one side of the second guide plate is connected to the plate body, and the other side of the second guide plate extends to the evaporator, and the fan is located between the second guide plate and the evaporator.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the second guide plate with a triangular cross-section has a better supporting effect on the plate body, and the second guide plate further guides the air flowing in the first cavity, further improving the flow rate of the air in the shell.

[0017] Preferably, the second guide plate is provided with a rounded corner on a side wall close to the fan.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the influence of the second guide plate on the operation of the fan is reduced, so that the second guide plate is not likely to cause damage to the fan.

[0019] Preferably, the cross-sections of several of the air duct plates are semicircular, and the side wall of the shell on which the conversion plate is provided is an inclined surface, and the angle between the inclined surface and the first guide plate is an acute angle.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the air after passing through the air duct opening can better enter the first cavity and circulate under the guidance of the inclined surface. Such an arrangement enables the air duct plate to be closer to the first guide plate.

[0021] Preferably, a second opening is provided on the side wall of the shell where the shoe storage portion is provided, and a shoe box cover is rotatably provided on the shell for closing the second opening.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the shoes are first placed in the shoe storage part and then the shoe box cover is closed, so that the shoes have a relatively closed environment during the drying process, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the shoes.

[0023] Preferably, the outer side wall of the shell close to the ground is a plane, and the outer side wall of the shell where the shoe storage portion is provided is protruding toward the outside of the shell and is arranged in an arc shape.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottom of the shell can be more adapted to the indoor skirting, making it easier to place the drying and dehumidifying machine.

[0025] In summary, this application has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. When the conversion plate closes the first opening, the fan works normally to provide power, and the air in the shell circulates in this order through the fan, the first cavity, the second cavity, the evaporator, the condenser, and the fan. In this way, the air blown out after an internal circulation is dry hot air, which takes away the moisture in the shoes and blows the hot air to dry them; when the conversion plate is opened, the conversion plate is at a certain angle to the shell and rests on the top of the abutment plate. At this time, the outside air enters the shell from one side of the conversion plate. Since the abutment plate blocks the air duct opening, the air will pass through the evaporator, the condenser, the first cavity, the fan, the second cavity in turn, and then enter the external circulation again through the other side of the conversion plate. By opening or closing the conversion plate to convert the internal and external circulation, the shoe dryer can be used as a shoe dryer and as a dehumidifier for the external environment, which increases the function of the shoe dryer and is easy to convert into multiple working modes.

[0027] 2. The semicircular air duct plate and the air duct opening correspond to each other. When the hot air circulates in the shell, the air duct plate and the air duct opening have a guiding effect on the hot air passing through them, thereby increasing the flow speed of the hot air in the shell and improving the drying rate of the shoe drying and dehumidifying machine;

[0028] 3. The evaporator and condenser are set at a certain angle, making the angle between the evaporator and the filter an acute angle. When the circulating hot air passes through the filter and enters the evaporator, the effective contact area between the hot air and the evaporator is increased, further improving the heat conversion efficiency of the shoe drying and dehumidifying machine.

[0029] 4. The second guide plate also guides the hot air circulating in the shell. When the hot air passes through the second guide plate, the wind speed will also increase, which will optimize the working efficiency of the shoe drying and dehumidifying machine. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0033] The following is combined with Figure 1-2 This application is described in further detail.

[0034] The embodiment of the present application discloses a shoe drying and dehumidifying machine. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The shoe drying and dehumidifying machine includes a shell 1, which is divided into a first cavity 2 and a second cavity 3 that are interconnected. The first cavity 2 is located at the bottom of the second cavity 3. A fan 4, an evaporator 5 and a condenser 6 are provided in the first cavity 2. The condenser 6 is located between the fan 4 and the evaporator 5. A first guide plate 7 is provided in the second cavity 3. The first guide plate 7 divides the second cavity 3 into a shoe placement portion 8 and a guide portion 9 that are interconnected. The shoes to be dried are placed in the shoe placement portion 8. The side wall of the shell 1 that is provided with the shoe placement portion 8 is provided with a The second opening 17, the shell 1 is rotatably provided with a shoe box cover 18 for closing the second opening 17. When shoes need to be dried, people put the shoes into the shoe storage part 8 from the second opening 17, and then close the shoe box cover 18, so that a relatively closed cavity is formed inside the shoe drying and dehumidifying machine to facilitate drying of the shoes. The outer wall of the shell 1 close to the ground is flat, and the outer wall of the shell 1 with the shoe storage part 8 protrudes to the outside of the iterative body and is arranged in an arc shape, so that the shoe drying and dehumidifying machine can fit better with the indoor skirting board, which is convenient for placement.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 The first guide plate 7 is provided with a plurality of mutually discontinuous air duct openings 10, and the side wall of the shell 1 opened to the guide portion 9 is provided with a first opening 19. The shell 1 is rotatably provided with a conversion plate 20 for closing the first opening 19. The conversion plate 20 is provided with a plurality of mutually parallel air duct plates 11 facing the side wall of the shell. The plurality of air duct openings 10 and the plurality of air duct plates 11 are in a corresponding relationship with each other. Specifically, there is one air duct opening 10 between every two air duct plates 11. The cross-section of the air duct plate 11 is semicircular, and the side wall of the shell 1 on which the conversion plate 20 is provided is a slope 16. The angle between the slope 16 and the first guide plate 7 is between 55° and 65°.

[0036] The air duct plate 11 is made to cooperate better with the air duct opening 10. When the fan 4 provides power to drive the hot air to circulate in the shell 1, the hot air flow rate through the air duct plate 11 and the air duct opening 10 is increased, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the shoe drying and dehumidifying machine, thereby reducing energy consumption.

[0037] Reference Figure 2The evaporator 5 and condenser 6 are parallel to each other and are positioned at a certain angle to the bottom wall of the housing 1. Specifically, the evaporator 5 and condenser 6 are gradually tilted from bottom to top toward the fan 4, with the tilt angle ranging from 10° to 20°. A plate 12 and a filter 13 are provided within the guide portion 9. The plate 12 and filter 13 are integrally formed. One side of the filter 13 extends to the outlet of the evaporator 5, and the other side of the filter 13 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1. One side of the plate 12 is connected to the filter 13, and the other side of the plate 12 is fixed to the first guide plate 7.

[0038] The hot air passing through here will flow through the filter 13, which will limit the wind flow path to a certain extent and increase the wind speed. Compared with the overall use of the filter 13, this improves the strength and stability here. When the wind passing through the filter 13 continues to move forward into the evaporator 5 and the condenser 6, the angle set between the evaporator 5 and the condenser 6 increases the effective contact area between the humid air flowing in the shell 1 and the evaporator 5.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 A second guide plate 14 is connected to the bottom of the plate body 12. The cross-section of the second guide plate 14 is triangular, and one side of the second guide plate 14 is connected to the plate body 12. The other side of the second guide plate 14 extends to the evaporator 5. The fan 4 is located between the second guide plate 14 and the evaporator 5. The side wall of the second guide plate 14 close to the fan 4 is provided with a rounded corner 15. A gap is left between the second guide plate 14 and the fan 4 for air circulation.

[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
