Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of cyclic drying of shoes, and specifically relates to a cyclic heating and drying device for shoes. Background Art

[0002] Heating and drying of shoes is a necessary process in shoe processing and cleaning maintenance. Currently, on the production line or for household drying, hot air boxes or infrared lamps are mainly used for dry baking heating and drying. Both methods have their limitations. The hot air device on the production line mainly needs to be conveyed through a conveyor belt, so there is no device that can extend into its interior for hot air transportation, and the internal and external hot air circulation is unbalanced. And using infrared lamps for heating will cause uneven heating due to the irradiation angle problem. More importantly, since it uses an infrared direct baking method, it may cause the deformation of the shoe surface material. And due to the different physical properties of various materials on the shoe surface, the different thermal expansion and contraction are more likely to cause material deformation and damage due to dry baking.

[0003] Therefore, this application proposes a cyclic heating and drying device for shoes to overcome the above defects. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the problems raised in the above background art, the present invention provides a cyclic heating and drying device for shoes.

Detailed implementation mode

[0035] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0036] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the present invention provides a circulating heating and drying device for shoes, including a seat box 100, and further including:

[0037] A workbench 200, rotatably arranged in the seat box 100;

[0038] A dryer 300, with multiple ones arranged in the seat box 100;

[0039] A fan-shaped cavity of the workbench 200, which includes a moving partition one 201 arranged in the middle to divide the cavity into an outer cavity and an inner cavity, and the inner cavity is further divided into several sub-cavities of the same size by a coupling plate 202 and a moving partition two 203;

[0040] The dryers 300 are grouped in pairs and respectively correspond to several sub-cavities and can extend into them to dry shoes;

[0041] The heating and drying device further includes a hot air circulation system, which is arranged at the upper end of the seat box 100 and is used to inject hot air flow into each sub-cavity to circulate and dry shoes.

[0042] The workbench 200 has a structure with inner and outer layers. The outer layer can be used to store shoes, while the inner layer is used for drying work. On the workbench 200, the first movable partition 201 is used to distinguish the inner and outer layers, dividing the fan-shaped area into two isolated inner and outer small fan-shaped areas. When shoes need to be dried, the shoes are placed in the small fan-shaped area of the inner layer, where there is a workbench for preventing the shoes, and then it is closed. The dryer 300 cooperates with the hot air circulation system. The hot air circulation system injects hot air into the inner layer fan-shaped space, and the hot air circulation work is carried out through the dryer 300. It sucks inside the shoes, and the hot air in the fan-shaped cavity passes through the shoe surface to reach the inside, so it can take away the moisture on them and achieve the drying of the shoes. The hot air circulation system includes a hot drying dryer, an exhaust fan, a circulation pipeline, etc. It can blow air separately for a single secondary cavity with shoes.

[0043] As Figure 4 shown, the seat box 100 includes a platform 102 provided at the upper end of the inner cavity. The outer edge of the first movable partition 201 of the workbench 200 is arranged outward along the radial direction of its rotating shaft, and the outer edge fits and presses against the edge of the platform 102;

[0044] The hot air circulation system is arranged on the platform 102.

[0045] After the first movable partition 201 rotates, its outer edge can fit with the outer edge of the platform 102, which can be used to limit the rotation amplitude and play a sealing role at the same time. The hot air circulation system is arranged above the platform 102.

[0046] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the outer edge of the first movable partition 201 is a sealing rubber strip.

[0047] Using a sealing rubber strip is one of the implementation ways to achieve sealing, and other materials can also be used to achieve it.

[0048] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the inside of the seat box 100 is separated by several static partitions 101 into groups of two dryers 300 in the cavity. The seat box 100 includes a coupling port 1011, and the coupling port 1011 can be connected to the second movable partition 203 on the workbench 200 after rotation to isolate each secondary cavity.

[0049] The second movable partition 203 provided on the workbench 200 can fit with the static partition 101 provided on the seat box 100, splicing into a complete isolation surface to isolate the adjacent two secondary cavities and prevent the hot air flow in a single secondary cavity from diffusing outward. Therefore, the isolation surface formed by the static partition 101 and the second movable partition 203, and the area enclosed by the first movable partition 201 and the platform 102 form an independent secondary cavity for converging hot air flow.

[0050] As Figures 2 to 4 shown, at least two placement positions 204 are provided in each sub-chamber for inserting shoes, and each dryer 300 is aligned with the placement position 204 in the corresponding sub-chamber;

[0051] The placement position 204 includes a bottom supporting plate and a front face.

[0052] A sensing element can be placed on the placement position 204 to identify whether there is a shoe above, which is used as a judgment basis for controlling the operation of the hot air system and blowing air specifically to the sub-chamber where the shoe is placed. The placement position 204 includes a front face, and the inner cavity of this front face part is used to place the front face and upper surface of the shoe, playing a fixing role.

[0053] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the dryer 300 includes a lining head 301, an air intake mesh surface 302 opened on each surface of the lining head 301, a telescopic rod 303 hinged to the tail end of the lining head 301 through an elastic hinge 304, and a diversion pipe 306 arranged inside the telescopic rod 303. One end of the telescopic rod 303 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the seat box 100, and both ends of the diversion pipe 306 are respectively communicated with the lining head 301 and the hot air circulation system.

[0054] The inside of the lining head 301 is hollow, and air intake mesh surfaces 302 are provided on both sides, the top surface and the front face of the surface for air intake, respectively maximizing the air intake area. The specific position of the air intake mesh surface 302 can be designed according to the actual situation, such as for different types of shoe uppers. The telescopic rod 303 can be set as an elastic telescopic rod member, which is used to appropriately expand and contract according to the thickness of the shoe sole after the lining head 301 enters the shoe. Firstly, it can adapt to the shoe sole to prevent rigid contact. Secondly, it can be appropriately adjusted according to the thickness of the shoe sole. Thirdly, it is used for subsequent valve adaptation.

[0055] The elastic hinge 304 is used to make the lining head 301 extend obliquely upward in the initial state. As Figure 2 shown in, the state shown in is its extended state. The bottom surface of the lining head 301 has an angle of about 20° with the horizontal plane, and can be specifically adjusted adaptively. This angle is used for the lining head 301 to turn down and fit the inner surface of the shoe when it enters the shoe and slips in contact with the shoe sole.

[0056] As Figure 8 shown, an air core 305 is also provided on the diversion pipe 306. The air intake end of the air core 305 is fixedly connected to the inner rod of the telescopic rod 303, and when the inner rod of the telescopic rod 303 contracts relative to the outer rod, one end of the air core 305 is compressed to conduct the diversion pipe 306.

[0057] The air core 305 here is an elastic air valve that conducts when the intake end is squeezed. After the inner lining head 301 is inserted into the shoe, since the sole supports the bottom of the inner lining head 301 and the sole has a certain thickness, it can push the inner lining head 301 along the extension direction of the telescopic rod 303 to cause the telescopic rod 303 to contract. Then the air core 305 at this place conducts, while the air cores 305 at other workstations without shoes do not conduct. This setting can ensure the singleness of the air flow direction.

[0058] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, a seal 307 is provided above the tail end of the inner lining head 301 for fitting against the inner side of the shoe upper.

[0059] The seal 307 here is used to fit as closely as possible into the inner wall of the shoe upper, to play a certain role in closing the space inside the shoe and reducing the flow rate of the hot air entering the shoe from here. Ensure that most of the hot air can enter the shoe through the mesh surface and take away the moisture in it when passing through. And it can allow the air flow to enter the inclined surface as large as possible to achieve uniform heating of the shoe upper.

[0060] The seal 307 here includes various implementation manners, including rubber parts, soft seals with sponge linings, or a layer of air bags, and the air bags are inflated by injecting gas to close the shoe upper.

[0061] As Figures 4 to 6 shown, the hot air circulation system includes a hot air dryer 401 provided on the platform 102 and a gas collecting pipe 404 located inside the static partition 101. The gas collecting pipe 404 is connected to the hot air dryer 401 through a fan 402 and a pipeline. The hot air circulation system also includes a fan 403 provided on the platform 102. The fan 403 is connected to the hot air dryer 401 and injects hot air flow into the auxiliary cavity.

[0062] In this application, the hot air dryer 401 is arranged in the middle of the platform 102. Therefore, at least two fans 402 are arranged on both sides of the hot air dryer 401 to connect to the gas collecting pipe 404 to guide the air flow in the gas collecting pipe 404 into the hot air dryer 401. It is also possible to arrange the fan 402 at the end of the gas collecting pipe 404 and connect a pipeline to reach the hot air dryer 401. The fan 403 is used to export the heated air flow and transport it to each auxiliary cavity, and the hot air flow in each auxiliary cavity is sucked into the gas collecting pipe 404 by the dryer 300 and then enters the hot air dryer 401, thereby achieving the purpose of air flow circulation.

[0063] The working principle and usage process of the present invention:

[0064] The workbench 200 has a structure with inner and outer layers. The outer layer can be used to store shoes, while the inner layer is used for drying work. The inner and outer layers of the workbench 200 are separated by a movable partition 201, dividing the fan-shaped area into two isolated inner and outer small fan-shaped areas. When shoes need to be dried, the shoes are placed in the small fan-shaped area of the inner layer, where there is a workbench for holding the shoes, and then it is closed. The dryer 300 cooperates with the hot air circulation system. The hot air circulation system injects hot air into the inner layer fan-shaped space, and the hot air circulation work is carried out through the dryer 300. It sucks inside the shoes, and the hot air in the fan-shaped cavity passes through the shoe upper to reach the inside, so it can take away the moisture on them and achieve the drying of the shoes.

[0065] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0066] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
