[0061] In related technological solutions, shoe cabinets generally include a cabinet body and cabinet doors. The cabinet doors can be opened or closed relative to the cabinet body to facilitate users placing shoes into or removing them from the cabinet. The cabinet body has multiple shelves with equal spacing between adjacent shelves, and each shelf is horizontally positioned within the cabinet body. Users can place shoes on the shelves. In some designs, the shoe cabinet may also include a care area, which can be connected to a drying device to dry the shoes placed inside, thereby improving user comfort. However, in the aforementioned technological solutions, hot air entering the shoe cabinet not only enters the care area but also the storage area, resulting in less hot air reaching the care area and thus lower drying efficiency.
[0062] In view of this, this application aims to provide a shoe cabinet by setting a first air supply duct including an inner air duct and an outer air duct surrounding the inner air duct. The inner air duct connects a drying device and the outer air duct, and the outer air duct and the inner air duct have a first state and a second state respectively. In the first state, the outer air duct connects to a first storage area but not to a care area; in the second state, the outer air duct connects to the care area but not to the first storage area. Through the above setting, the flow direction of the hot air generated by the drying device can be controlled. When drying is required, the hot air can be controlled to enter only the care area and not the first storage area, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the care area.
[0063] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0065] Please refer to Figures 1-7 This embodiment provides a shoe cabinet, including a first cabinet body 100. The shape of the first cabinet body 100 can be set as needed, for example, it can be a cuboid or cylindrical structure. This embodiment uses a cuboid shape as an example for explanation. A first cabinet door 170 is provided on one side of the first cabinet body 100. The first cabinet door 170 can be opened or closed relative to the first cabinet body 100 to facilitate the user to put shoes into the first cabinet body 100 or take shoes out of the first cabinet body 100.
[0066] The first cabinet 100 contains a drying device (not shown in the figure), a first storage area 110 for storing shoes, and a care area 120. The specific locations of the drying device, the first storage area 110, and the care area 120 can be set as needed. The drying device generates hot air, the first storage area 110 is used to store shoes that are not frequently worn or worn, and the care area 120 is used to store shoes that are frequently worn or have just been washed and are still damp. Generally, within the first cabinet 100, the volume of the first storage area 110 is much larger than the volume of the care area 120, thus better meeting the user's needs.
[0067] The drying device is connected to the first storage area 110 or the care area 120 through the first air supply duct 130. The first storage area 110 and the care area 120 are connected to the drying device through the first return air duct 140. The arrangement of the first air supply duct 130 and the first return air duct 140 realizes the circulation of hot air inside the first cabinet 100, thereby improving the ventilation in the first storage area 110 and the care area 120, which is conducive to maintaining environmental hygiene and reducing the probability of bacterial growth.
[0068] Please continue to refer to Figures 4-6 In this embodiment, the first air supply duct 130 includes an inner air duct 131 and an outer air duct 132 sleeved outside the inner air duct 131. The inner air duct 131 connects the drying device and the outer air duct 132. The outer air duct 132 and the inner air duct 131 have a first state and a second state, respectively.
[0069] Specifically, when the outer air duct 132 and the inner air duct 131 are in the first state, the outer air duct 132 is connected to the first storage area 110 but not to the care area 120; at this time, the hot air generated by the drying device enters the first storage area 110 but does not enter the care area 120 (generally, shoes are not stored in the care area 120 at this time).
[0070] When the outer air duct 132 and the inner air duct 131 are in the second state, the outer air duct 132 connects to the care area 120 but not to the first storage area 110; at this time, the hot air generated by the drying device enters the care area 120 but does not enter the first storage area 110. Since the care area 120 itself is small in volume, concentrating the hot air into the care area 120 can increase the temperature, wind speed, etc. in the care area 120, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the care area 120.
[0071] With the above settings, when drying is required, this embodiment can put the outer air duct 132 and the inner air duct 131 in the second state, so that the first air supply duct 130 is connected to the nursing area 120 but not to the first storage area 110. In this way, the hot air generated by the drying device only enters the nursing area 120, which is beneficial to improving the drying efficiency of the nursing area 120.
[0072] In one possible implementation, please continue to refer to Figures 4-7 In this embodiment, the outer air duct 132 is provided with a first air outlet 1321 communicating with the first storage area 110 and a second air outlet 1322 communicating with the care area 120, and the inner air duct 131 is provided with a first through hole 1311 and a second through hole 1312.
[0073] When the outer air duct 132 and the inner air duct 131 are in the first state, the first through hole 1311 is connected to the first air outlet 1321, and the first air supply duct 130 is connected to the first storage area 110; the second through hole 1312 is not connected to the second air outlet 1322, and the first air supply duct 130 is not connected to the nursing area 120.
[0074] When the outer air duct 132 and the inner air duct 131 are in the second state, the first through hole 1311 is not connected to the first air outlet 1321, and the first air supply duct 130 is not connected to the first storage area 110; the second through hole 1312 is connected to the second air outlet 1322, and the first air supply duct 130 is connected to the nursing area 120.
[0075] This embodiment achieves the switching of the relative state between the outer air duct 132 and the inner air duct 131 by changing the relative position of the first air outlet 1321 and the first through hole 1311, and the relative position of the second air outlet 1322 and the second through hole 1312, thereby selectively sending the hot air generated by the drying device into the first storage area 110 or the care area 120.
[0076] Optionally, in this embodiment, the inner air duct 131 is slidably disposed within the outer air duct 132, and the sliding of the inner air duct 131 enables the first air outlet 1321 to cooperate with the first through hole 1311 or the second air outlet 1322 to cooperate with the second through hole 1312.
[0077] like Figure 6 As shown, when the outer air duct 132 and the inner air duct 131 are in the first state, the inner air duct 131 slides away from the first end of the outer air duct 132 so that the first through hole 1311 is connected to the first air outlet 1321, and the second through hole 1312 is not connected to the second air outlet 1322. At this time, the hot air generated by the drying device enters the first storage area 110 through the first air outlet 1321.
[0078] like Figure 7 As shown, when the outer air duct 132 and the inner air duct 131 are in the second state, the inner air duct 131 slides toward the first end of the outer air duct 132 so that the first through hole 1311 is not connected to the first air outlet 1321, and the second through hole 1312 is connected to the second air outlet 1322. At this time, the hot air generated by the drying device enters the care area 120 through the second air outlet 1322.
[0079] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first end of the outer air duct 132 is provided with a first magnetic element 1323, and the first end of the inner air duct 131 is provided with a second magnetic element 1313. The first magnetic element 1323 and the second magnetic element 1313 can attract or repel each other, thereby driving the inner air duct 131 to slide within the outer air duct 132.
[0080] Preferably, the first magnetic component 1323 can be an electromagnet, and the second magnetic component 1313 can be an iron block. The electromagnet is also electrically connected to an external power source. When the outer air duct 132 and the inner air duct 131 are in the second state, the external power source charges the electromagnet, and the electromagnet attracts the iron block, causing the inner air duct 131 to slide towards the first end of the outer air duct 132. This allows the hot air generated by the drying device to enter the care area 120 through the second air outlet 1322, thereby improving the drying efficiency in the care area 120. When the outer air duct 132 and the inner air duct 131 are in the first state, the external power source does not charge the electromagnet, and the inner air duct 131 slides away from the first end of the outer air duct 132 under its own gravity. This allows the hot air generated by the drying device to enter the first storage area 110 through the first air outlet 1321.
[0081] In one possible implementation, please continue to refer to Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, the first cabinet 100 includes a first top wall 101, a first bottom wall 102, and a first side wall 103, a second side wall 104, and a third side wall 105 disposed between the first top wall 101 and the first bottom wall 102. The first side wall 103 and the second side wall 104 are disposed opposite each other along a first direction X. The first cabinet door 170 is disposed opposite to the third side wall 105. A first air supply duct 130 and a first air return duct 140 are disposed opposite each other along the first direction X, with the first air supply duct 130 disposed near the second side wall 104 and the first air return duct 140 disposed near the first side wall 103.
[0082] Along the second direction Y, the first cabinet 100 also includes a first partition 106, a second partition 107, and a third partition 108, all of which are connected to the third side wall 105. A first storage area 110 is disposed between the first partition 106 and the second partition 107, a drying device is disposed between the second partition 107 and the first bottom wall 102, and a care area 120 is disposed between the first partition 106 and the third partition 108; that is, along the second direction Y, in this embodiment, the care area 120, the first storage area 110, and the drying device are arranged sequentially.
[0083] Furthermore, the first storage area 110 is also provided with a plurality of first partitions 111, which are spaced apart along the second direction Y, dividing the first storage area 110 into a plurality of areas for placing shoes. The outer air duct 132 has a plurality of first air supply outlets 1321 on the side facing the first return air duct 140, and the first return air duct 140 has a plurality of first return air outlets on the side facing the outer air duct 132. A first air supply outlet 1321 and a first return air outlet are provided between two adjacent first partitions 111, and between the second partition 107 and the first partition 111 closest to the second partition 107; that is, a first air supply outlet 1321 and a first return air outlet are provided in each area for placing shoes, thereby facilitating air circulation.
[0084] The first cabinet 100 is also equipped with a second air supply duct 150, which is located between the third partition 108 and the first top wall 101. The second air supply duct 150 is connected to a second air outlet 1322, and the hot air in the first air supply duct 130 can enter the second air supply duct 150 through the second air outlet 1322. The third partition 108 is equipped with a third air outlet 151 that connects to the second air supply duct 150. The first return air duct 140 is also equipped with a second return air outlet on the side facing the nursing area 120. The circulation of hot air in the nursing area 120 can be achieved through the third air outlet 151 and the second return air outlet.
[0085] Furthermore, the first cabinet 100 of this embodiment is also provided with a fourth partition 109. Along the first direction X, the fourth partition 109 is disposed between the first side wall 103 and the second side wall 104, and the fourth partition 109 is perpendicular to the first partition 106 and the third partition 108.
[0086] In other words, in this embodiment, the first partition 106, the third partition 108, the fourth partition 109, and the first sidewall 103 together form the nursing area 120, and the first partition 106, the third partition 108, the fourth partition 109, and the second sidewall 104 together form the auxiliary area 160. A deodorizing device is provided in the auxiliary area 160, and the fourth partition 109 has a through hole connecting the nursing area 120 and the auxiliary area 160. The deodorizing device connects to the nursing area 120 through the through hole, thereby enabling deodorization of the nursing area 120 and reducing odors within it.
[0087] In one possible implementation, please continue to refer to Figures 1-3 The shoe cabinet in this embodiment also includes a second cabinet 200. The shape of the second cabinet 200 can be set as needed, such as a cuboid or cylindrical structure. This embodiment uses a cuboid shape as an example for explanation. A second cabinet door 240 is provided on one side of the second cabinet 200. The second cabinet door 240 can be opened or closed relative to the second cabinet 200 to facilitate the user to put shoes into the second cabinet 200 or take shoes out of the second cabinet 200.
[0088] The second cabinet 200 has a second storage area 210 for placing shoes. The second cabinet 200 also has a third air supply duct 220 and a second return air duct 230. The third air supply duct 220 is connected to the outer air duct 132, and the second return air duct 230 is connected to the drying device.
[0089] By incorporating a second cabinet 200, the overall number of shoes that can be stored in the shoe cabinet can be increased, thereby enhancing its practicality. The third air supply duct 220 and the second return air duct 230 allow hot air to be introduced into the second storage area 210 and circulated, which helps maintain hygiene and reduces the probability of bacterial growth.
[0090] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first cabinet 100 is provided with a first air supply connection port and a first air return connection port, which are preferably located on the second side wall 104. The outer air duct 132 is provided with a fourth air supply port 1324 on the side facing the second side wall 104, and the inner air duct 131 is provided with a third through hole 1314 on the side facing the second side wall 104. The first air supply connection port is connected to the fourth air supply port 1324, and the first air return connection port is connected to the drying device.
[0091] The second cabinet 200 is provided with a second air supply connection port and a second air return connection port. The second air supply connection port is connected to the first air supply connection port and the third air supply duct 220, and the second air return connection port is connected to the first air return connection port and the second air return duct 230.
[0092] When the outer air duct 132 and the inner air duct 131 are in the first state, the third through hole 1314 is connected to the fourth air outlet 1324, and the first air supply pipe 130 is connected to the third air supply pipe 220. At this time, the hot air generated by the drying device is simultaneously sent into the first storage area 110 and the second storage area 210 to provide hot air for the shoes placed in the storage areas.
[0093] When the outer air duct 132 and the inner air duct 131 are in the second state, the third through hole 1314 is not connected to the fourth air outlet 1324, and the first air supply pipe 130 is not connected to the third air supply pipe 220. At this time, the hot air generated by the drying device only enters the care area 120, thereby ensuring the drying efficiency of the care area 120.
[0094] In one possible implementation, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the second cabinet 200 in this embodiment includes a second top wall 201, a second bottom wall 202, and a fourth side wall 203, a fifth side wall 204, and a sixth side wall 205 disposed between the second top wall 201 and the second bottom wall 202, wherein the fourth side wall 203 and the fifth side wall 204 are disposed opposite to each other along the first direction X.
[0095] The fourth side wall 203 is provided with a second air supply port and a second air return port. In the first direction X, the first air supply port corresponds to the second air supply port, and the first air return port corresponds to the second air return port, so that the hot air generated by the drying device is circulated in the second cabinet 200.
[0096] Along the second direction Y, the second cabinet 200 is also provided with a plurality of spaced second partitions 211, which divide the second storage area 210 into multiple areas for placing shoes. A gap is formed between the second partitions 211 and the fourth side wall 203 and / or the fifth side wall 204, through which hot air can circulate within the second storage area 210.
[0097] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the third air supply duct 220 and the second return air duct 230 are arranged on both sides of the second cabinet 200 along the second direction Y, with the third air supply duct 220 located near the second top wall 201 and the second return air duct 230 located near the second bottom wall 202. The third air supply duct 220 has a fifth air outlet 221 on the side facing the second partition plate 211, and the second return air duct 230 has a third return air outlet 231 on the side facing the second partition plate 211. Hot air generated by the drying device is sent into the third air supply duct 220 and blown out from the second top wall 201. The hot air passes through the gap between the second partition plate 211 and the fourth side wall 203 and / or the fifth side wall 204 to achieve transmission within the second storage area 210, finally reaching the third return air outlet 231 on the side of the second bottom wall 202. The hot air then enters the second return air duct 230 through the third return air outlet 231 and finally flows back to the drying device, thus realizing the circulation of hot air within the second cabinet 200.
