[0006] Further, the middle or upper part of the wind blocking member is rotatably connected to the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe through the rotating shaft.

[0007] Further, the wind blocking member includes a wind blocking plate, the middle or upper part of the wind blocking plate is rotatably connected to the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe through the rotating shaft, and the hook is provided at the top of the wind blocking plate.

[0008] Further, the air outlet pipe is a square pipe; Alternatively, the air outlet pipe is a circular pipe, and a soft pad is provided on the peripheral side of the wind blocking plate.

[0009] Further, the wind blocking member includes a wind blocking rod and a wind blocking piece, the middle or upper part of the wind blocking rod is rotatably connected to the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe through the rotating shaft, the hook is provided at the upper end of the wind blocking rod, and the wind blocking piece is connected to the wind blocking rod.

[0010] Further, the air outlet pipe is a square pipe; Alternatively, the air outlet pipe is a circular pipe, and the wind deflector is a bendable sheet.

[0011] Furthermore, a limiting structure is provided inside the air outlet pipe. When the wind deflector is turned upward to the horizontal state, the wind deflector abuts against the limiting structure, and the limiting structure prevents the wind deflector from continuing to turn upward.

[0012] Furthermore, an installation groove with an open upper end is provided at the air inlet end of the air outlet pipe. A sealing plate is provided in the installation groove. The sealing plate is in vertical sliding fit with the installation groove. A vertical rod is provided on the outer side of the air outlet pipe. The top of the vertical rod is connected to the top of the sealing plate. A sliding pin is provided at the bottom of the vertical rod. A driving rod is also provided on the outer side of the air outlet pipe. The top of the driving rod is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. A long hole is provided at the lower part of the driving rod. The sliding pin is in sliding fit with the long hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the air outlet pipe includes a first pipe body and a second pipe body. The first end of the first pipe body is communicated with the air box. A first flange is provided at the second end of the first pipe body. The wind deflector is provided inside the first end of the second pipe body. A second flange is provided at the second end of the second pipe body. The first flange and the second flange are connected. Grooves with open upper ends are provided on one side of the first flange and the second flange facing each other. The two grooves are communicated to form the installation groove.

[0014] Furthermore, an anti - detachment structure is provided at the end of the sliding pin away from the vertical rod. The driving rod is clamped between the vertical rod and the anti - detachment structure.

[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. When a shoe is hung on the hook, the wind deflector turns upward, and the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe is opened. The hot air in the air box can be blown out from the air outlet pipe, and the hot air blown out from the air outlet pipe blows on the shoe hung on the hook, so that the shoe can be dried by hot air. On the contrary, when no shoe is hung on the hook, the wind deflector turns downward, and the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe is in a blocked state. The hot air in the air box cannot be blown out from this air outlet pipe, avoiding waste of hot air and being beneficial to energy conservation.

[0016] 2. The structure of the present invention is simple and reliable, convenient to use, assemble and maintain. Moreover, when no shoe is hung, the wind deflector is in a state of blocking the air outlet pipe, eliminating the need for workers to manually block it, which is flexible and labor - saving.

[0017] 3. When the wind deflector is turned upward to the horizontal state, the wind deflector abuts against the limiting structure, and the limiting structure prevents the wind deflector from continuing to turn upward. With this setting, when the air outlet pipe is open, the wind deflector is in a horizontal state, enabling hot air to pass through the upper and lower surfaces of the wind deflector, and the upper part of the shoe hung on the hook can also directly receive hot air drying, which is beneficial to improving the drying efficiency.

[0018] 4. When using the wind-blocking member to block the hot air, the wind-blocking member is inclined and blocked inside the air outlet pipe, so the hot air will fill the upper part of the wind-blocking member. Although the hot air is blocked by the wind-blocking member and will not be discharged, the hot air filling the upper part of the wind-blocking member will also increase the loss. By using the sealing plate to vertically block the hot air, the travel of the hot air entering the air outlet pipe can be reduced, which is beneficial to further reducing the loss of hot air and further saving energy and reducing consumption.

[0019] 5. When using the wind-blocking member and the sealing plate to block the air outlet pipe at the same time, the blocking effect on the air outlet pipe can be improved, which is beneficial to ensuring the effect of energy conservation and consumption reduction.

[0020] 6. The sealing plate can be linked with the wind-blocking member through the vertical rod, sliding pin, driving rod and rotating shaft, so that the sealing plate and the wind-blocking member can open the air outlet pipe together or block the air outlet pipe together, with a simple structure and convenient use.

[0021] 7. The setting of the anti-disengagement structure can reduce the risk of the sliding pin disengaging from the long hole, improve the assembly reliability of the sliding pin and the driving rod, and then improve the reliability of the linkage action between the wind-blocking member and the sealing plate.

Detailed implementation mode

[0024] To better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further elaborated below in conjunction with the attached drawings. It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the attached drawings. It is for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0025] Embodiment 1: A wind - stopping structure for the shoe rack of a shoe - drying machine, including an air box 1. A shoe rack is provided on the side of the air box 1. The shoe rack includes a plurality of air outlet pipes 2 communicating with the air box 1.

[0026] See Figure 3 Or Figure 4 Or Figure 7 , a wind - blocking member 3 is provided inside the air outlet pipe 2 (the wind - blocking member 3 includes a wind - blocking plate 31; or, the wind - blocking member 3 includes a wind - blocking rod 32 and a wind - blocking piece 33; the specific structure of the wind - blocking member 3 will be introduced in Embodiment 2). The middle or upper part of the wind - blocking member 3 is rotatably connected to the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 2 through a rotating shaft 4. A hook 5 is provided at the upper end of the wind - blocking member 3, and the hook 5 extends out from the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 2 for hanging a shoe 6.

[0027] Situation (1): See Figure 3 Or Figure 7 , when the upper part of the wind - blocking member 3 is rotatably connected to the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 2 through the rotating shaft 4, the rotating shaft 4 divides the wind - blocking member 3 into upper and lower parts. The length of the upper part of the wind - blocking member 3 is short, and the length of the lower part of the wind - blocking member 3 is long, so that the lower part of the wind - blocking member 3 is heavier than the upper part.

[0028] See Figure 3 Or Figure 7 , when the hook 5 is not hanging a shoe 6, under the action of the self - weight of the lower part of the wind - blocking member 3, the wind - blocking member 3 can be turned downward, so that the wind - blocking member 3 blocks the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 2, preventing hot air from being discharged from the air outlet pipe 2, which is beneficial to energy conservation. See Figure 9 , when a shoe 6 is hung on the hook 5, the weight of the upper part of the wind - blocking member 3 increases, causing the wind - blocking member 3 to turn upward, so that the wind - blocking member 3 opens the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 2, allowing hot air to be discharged from the air outlet pipe 2, enabling the shoe 6 to be dried by hot air.

[0029] Situation (2): SeeFigure 4 When the middle part of the wind shield 3 is rotatably connected to the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 2 through a rotating shaft 4, the rotating shaft 4 divides the wind shield 3 into upper and lower parts, and the lengths of the upper and lower parts of the wind shield 3 are not much different, so that the weights of the upper and lower parts of the wind shield 3 are not much different.

[0030] To ensure that the wind shield 3 can flip downward when no shoe 6 is hung, this embodiment provides two methods.

[0031] The first method is to install a counterweight structure on the lower part of the wind shield 3 to increase the weight of the lower part, so that the wind shield 3 can smoothly flip downward when no shoe 6 is hung, so that the wind shield 3 blocks the air outlet pipe 2 and prevents hot air from being discharged from the air outlet pipe 2, which is beneficial to energy conservation. When a shoe 6 is hung on the hook 5, the weight of the upper part of the wind shield 3 increases, which can overcome the weight of the counterweight structure, so that the wind shield 3 flips upward, so that the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 2 is opened, allowing hot air to be discharged from the air outlet pipe 2, so that the shoe 6 can be dried by hot air.

[0032] The second method is to use an elastic member to push the wind shield 3 to flip downward when no shoe 6 is hung.

[0033] For example, referring to Figure 4 , a spring 7 is used as the elastic member. The top end of the spring 7 is welded and fixed to the bottom of the mounting bolt 71. A threaded hole is provided at the top of the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 2. The mounting bolt 71 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The spring 7 at the bottom of the mounting bolt 71 is located inside the air outlet pipe 2. The bottom end of the spring 7 abuts against the lower part of the wind shield 3, so that the lower part of the wind shield 3 is pushed by the elastic force of the spring 7 to flip downward, so that the wind shield 3 blocks the air outlet pipe 2 and prevents hot air from being discharged from the air outlet pipe 2, which is beneficial to energy conservation. When the shoe 6 is hung on the hook 5, the weight of the shoe 6 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 7 to make the wind shield 3 flip upward, so that the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 2 is opened, allowing hot air to be discharged from the air outlet pipe 2, so that the shoe 6 can be dried by hot air.

[0034] Based on the working principles of the above situations (1) and (2), it can be seen that this Embodiment 1 has the following advantages: First, when a shoe 6 is hung on the hook 5, the wind shield 3 flips upward, and the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 2 is opened. The hot air in the air box 1 can be blown out from the air outlet pipe 2, and the hot air blown out from the air outlet pipe 2 blows onto the shoe 6 hung on the hook 5, so that the shoe 6 can be dried by hot air. On the contrary, when no shoe 6 is hung on the hook 5, the wind shield 3 flips downward, and the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 2 is in a blocked state, and the hot air in the air box 1 cannot be blown out from this air outlet pipe 2, avoiding waste of hot air and being beneficial to energy conservation.

[0035] Second, the structure of the first embodiment is simple and reliable, which is convenient for use, assembly and maintenance. Moreover, when the shoes 6 are not hung, the wind-blocking member 3 is in a state of blocking the air outlet pipe 2, eliminating the need for workers to manually block it, which is flexible and labor-saving.

[0036] For further improvement, refer to Figure 10 , a limiting structure 8 is fixedly installed inside the air outlet pipe 2. When the wind-blocking member 3 is turned upward to the horizontal state, the wind-blocking member 3 abuts against the limiting structure 8, and the limiting structure 8 prevents the wind-blocking member 3 from continuing to turn upward. With such a setting, when the air outlet pipe 2 is open, the wind-blocking member 3 is in a horizontal state, enabling hot air to pass through the upper and lower surfaces of the wind-blocking member 3, and the upper part of the shoes 6 hanging on the hook 5 can also directly receive hot air drying, which is beneficial to improving the drying efficiency.

[0037] The limiting structure 8 can be a limiting block welded to the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 2. When the wind-blocking member 3 turns to the horizontal state, the limiting block can abut against the wind-blocking member 3 to prevent the wind-blocking member 3 from continuing to turn upward. In addition, the limiting structure 8 can also be a screw, which is threadedly connected to the pipe wall of the air outlet pipe 2. When the wind-blocking member 3 turns to the horizontal state, the end of the screw entering the interior of the air outlet pipe 2 can abut against the wind-blocking member 3 to prevent the wind-blocking member 3 from continuing to turn upward.

[0038] Embodiment 2: This second embodiment provides two specific structures of the wind-blocking member 3.

[0039] Refer to Figure 1 , the first type of wind-blocking member 3 includes a wind-blocking plate 31. The wind-blocking plate 31 can be made of stainless steel plate, and the middle or upper part of the wind-blocking plate 31 is fixedly welded to the rotating shaft 4. When the middle part of the wind-blocking plate 31 is fixedly welded to the rotating shaft 4, in order to ensure that the wind-blocking plate 31 can turn downward smoothly, a counterweight can be fixedly welded to the lower part of the wind-blocking plate 31; or, refer to Figure 4 , use the elastic force of the spring 7 to push the lower part of the wind-blocking plate 31. Refer to Figure 1 , a hook 5 is welded to the top of the wind-blocking plate 31. The rotating shaft 4 is rotationally matched with the shaft hole formed in the air outlet pipe 2.

[0040] When the air outlet pipe 2 is a square pipe, the cross-section of the square pipe is square, and the widths of the square pipe in the vertical direction are the same everywhere. At this time, refer to Figure 1 , the wind-blocking plate 31 is a rectangular plate, and the widths of the wind-blocking plate 31 are the same everywhere, so that the wind-blocking plate 31 located inside the square pipe will not be restricted by the width of the pipe wall of the square pipe during turning and can turn smoothly.

[0041] When the air outlet pipe 2 is a circular pipe, the cross-section of the circular pipe is circular, and the widths of the circular pipe in the vertical direction are not the same everywhere. The width in the middle of the circular pipe is the largest, and the widths of the circular pipe from the middle upward and from the middle downward gradually decrease. In this regard, refer to Figure 2, a soft pad 311 is fixedly pasted on the periphery of the wind baffle 31. The soft pad 311 can be made of a rubber pad. When the wind baffle 31 inside the circular tube is flipped, the soft pad 311 on the periphery of the wind baffle 31 can bend to adapt to the width change of the circular tube in the vertical direction.

[0042] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the second wind baffle 3 includes a wind baffle rod 32 and a wind baffle piece 33.

[0043] See Figure 8 , the wind baffle rod 32 first passes through the radial through hole of the rotating shaft 4, and then the upper part or the middle part of the wind baffle rod 32 is fixedly welded to the rotating shaft 4; if the middle part of the wind baffle rod 32 is fixedly welded to the rotating shaft 4, in order to ensure that the wind baffle rod 32 can be smoothly flipped downward, a counterweight block can be fixedly welded to the lower part of the wind baffle rod 32. See Figure 5 , the upper end of the wind baffle rod 32 is bent to form a hook 5. The rotating shaft 4 is rotationally matched with the shaft hole opened on the air outlet pipe 2.

[0044] The wind baffle piece 33 can be made of an inflexible piece. For example, a wooden piece or a stainless steel piece can be used as the inflexible piece. The stainless steel piece can be fixedly welded to the upper surface of the wind baffle rod 32, and the wooden piece can be fixedly pasted to the upper surface of the wind baffle rod 32. The wind baffle piece 33 can also be made of a flexible piece. For example, a rubber pad can be used as the flexible piece, and the rubber pad is fixedly pasted to the upper surface of the wind baffle rod 32.

[0045] When the air outlet pipe 2 is a square pipe, the cross-section of the square pipe is square, and the widths of the square pipe in the vertical direction are the same everywhere. At this time, the wind baffle piece 33 is a rectangular piece, and the widths of the wind baffle piece 33 are the same everywhere. When the wind baffle rod 32 drives the wind baffle piece 33 to flip together, whether the wind baffle piece 33 is made of an inflexible piece or a flexible piece, it can be smoothly flipped without being restricted by the wall width of the square pipe. If the wind baffle piece 33 is a special-shaped piece, then the wind baffle piece 33 needs to be made of a flexible piece to be smoothly flipped.

[0046] When the air outlet pipe 2 is a circular pipe, the cross-section of the circular pipe is circular, and the widths of the circular pipe in the vertical direction are not the same everywhere. The width in the middle of the circular pipe is the largest, and the widths of the circular pipe from the middle upward and from the middle downward gradually decrease. When the wind baffle rod 32 drives the wind baffle piece 33 to flip together, if the wind baffle piece 33 is made of an inflexible piece, the wind baffle piece 33 cannot be flipped due to the width limitation of the circular pipe in the vertical direction. Therefore, the wind baffle piece 33 needs to be made of a flexible piece, which can bend to adapt to the width change of the circular pipe in the vertical direction during the flipping process.

[0047] Embodiment 3: This Embodiment 3 further improves Embodiment 2: See Figure 12 , the air outlet pipe 2 includes a first pipe body 21 and a second pipe body 22.

[0048] See Figure 22 , the first end of the first pipe body 21 is fixedly welded to the bellows 1, and the lumen of the first pipe body 21 communicates with the inner cavity of the bellows 1. See Figure 21 , a first flange 211 is fixedly welded to the second end of the first pipe body 21.

[0049] See Figure 19 , a shaft hole is provided at the first end of the second pipe body 22. The shaft hole is rotationally matched with the rotating shaft 4, and the rotating shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the wind blocking member 3 (for example, it can be fixedly connected by welding or fixed by screwing with screws), so that the wind blocking member 3 can rotate together with the rotating shaft 4. See Figure 19 , a second flange 221 is fixedly welded to the second end of the second pipe body 22.

[0050] See Figure 18 , the first flange 211 is assembled with the second flange 221 through a fastener 23. The fastener 23 includes a fastening bolt 231 and a fastening nut 232. After the fastening bolt 231 penetrates through the first flange 211 and the second flange 221, it is threadedly connected with the fastening nut 232, so that the first flange 211 and the second flange 221 are clamped between the hexagonal head of the fastening bolt 231 and the fastening nut 232, and the assembly of the first flange 211 and the second flange 221 can be completed. After unscrewing the fastening nut 232 from the fastening bolt 231, the first flange 211 and the second flange 221 can be disassembled, so that the first pipe body 21 and the second pipe body 22 can be separated. The settings of the first flange 211, the second flange 221 and the fastener 23 facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the first pipe body 21 and the second pipe body 22.

[0051] See Figure 19 , grooves 24 with open upper ends are provided on one side of the first flange 211 and the second flange 221 facing each other. When the first flange 211 and the second flange 221 are assembled together, the two grooves 24 communicate to form an installation groove with an open upper end. A sealing plate 9 is provided in the installation groove, and the sealing plate 9 is vertically slidably matched with the installation groove. The sealing plate 9 can be a rubber plate or a plate body wrapped with a rubber layer on the outside.

[0052] See Figure 13 and Figure 15 , a connecting column 91 is provided at the top of the sealing plate 9. A connecting screw 911 is provided on the side of the connecting column 91 facing away from the sealing plate 9. The connecting screw 911, the connecting column 91 and the sealing plate 9 are of an integral structure. See Figure 17 , a vertical rod 10 is provided on the outside of the air outlet pipe 2. See Figure 13, After the connecting screw 911 passes through the opening at the top of the vertical rod 10 and is screwed with the connecting nut 912, the top of the vertical rod 10 is clamped between the connecting nut 912 and the connecting column 91, and the assembly of the vertical rod 10 and the sealing plate 9 can be completed. When the connecting nut 912 is unscrewed from the connecting screw 911, the vertical rod 10 can be removed from the connecting screw 911, and the vertical rod 10 and the sealing plate 9 can be disassembled.

[0053] See Figure 15 and Figure 16 , A sliding pin 101 is fixedly welded to the bottom of the vertical rod 10. A driving rod 20 is provided on the outer side of the first pipe body 21. The top of the driving rod 20 is fixedly welded to the rotating shaft 4. A long hole 201 is provided in the lower part of the driving rod 20, and the sliding pin 101 is slidably matched with the long hole 201.

[0054] See Figure 16 and Figure 14 , In order to reduce the risk of the sliding pin 101 disengaging from the long hole 201, an anti-disengagement structure 30 is provided at the end of the sliding pin 101 facing away from the vertical rod 10. The anti-disengagement structure 30 includes an anti-disengagement screw 301, an anti-disengagement gasket 302, and an anti-disengagement nut 303. One end of the anti-disengagement screw 301 is fixedly welded to the side of the sliding pin 101 facing away from the vertical rod 10. The anti-disengagement gasket 302 is sleeved on the anti-disengagement screw 301. The anti-disengagement nut 303 is threadedly connected to the anti-disengagement screw 301. The lower part of the driving rod 20 is located between the anti-disengagement gasket 302 and the vertical rod 10, so that the driving rod 20 is limited by the anti-disengagement gasket 302, which can reduce the risk of the sliding pin 101 disengaging from the long hole 201 and improve the assembly reliability of the sliding pin 101 and the driving rod 20.

[0055] The working principle of Embodiment 3 is as follows: See Figure 18 and Figure 20 , When there is no shoe 6 hung on the hook 5, the wind-blocking member 3 rotates clockwise downward, and the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 2 is in a blocked state. The hot air in the air box 1 cannot be blown out from this air outlet pipe 2, avoiding waste of hot air and being beneficial to saving energy. At the same time, the wind-blocking member 3 drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate clockwise together, the rotating shaft 4 drives the driving rod 20 to rotate clockwise together, the upper hole wall of the long hole 201 in the lower part of the driving rod 20 pushes the sliding pin 101 downward, the sliding pin 101 drives the vertical rod 10 to move downward together, the vertical rod 10 drives the sealing plate 9 to move downward together, the sealing plate 9 moves downward in the installation groove, and the sealing plate 9 blocks the air outlet pipe 2 in the vertical direction.

[0056] In Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, the wind-blocking member 3 is used to block the hot air. The wind-blocking member 3 is inclined and blocks in the air outlet pipe 2, so the hot air will fill the space above the wind-blocking member 3. See Figure 11, that is, hot air fills the shaded part of the air outlet pipe 2. Although the hot air is blocked by the wind-blocking member 3 and will not be discharged, the hot air filling the shaded part increases the travel of the hot air and also increases the loss. In the third embodiment, the hot air is vertically blocked by the sealing plate 9. Refer to Figure 18 , which can reduce the travel of the hot air entering the air outlet pipe 2, is beneficial to further reducing the loss of hot air, and is beneficial to further energy conservation and consumption reduction.

[0057] In addition, in the third embodiment, the air outlet pipe 2 is blocked by both the wind-blocking member 3 and the sealing plate 9 at the same time, which can improve the blocking effect on the air outlet pipe 2 and is beneficial to ensuring the effect of energy conservation and consumption reduction.

[0058] Refer to Figure 19 and Figure 21 , when the shoes 6 are hung on the hook 5, the wind-blocking member 3 flips upward, and the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 2 is opened. The hot air in the air box 1 can be blown out from the air outlet pipe 2, and the hot air blown out from the air outlet pipe 2 blows on the shoes 6 hung on the hook 5, so that the shoes 6 are dried by the hot air. At the same time, the wind-blocking member 3 drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate counterclockwise together, the rotating shaft 4 drives the driving rod 20 to rotate counterclockwise together, the lower hole wall of the long hole 201 at the lower part of the driving rod 20 pushes the sliding pin 101 to move upward, the sliding pin 101 drives the vertical rod 10 to move upward together, the vertical rod 10 drives the sealing plate 9 to move upward together, and the sealing plate 9 moves upward in the installation groove, so that the first pipe body 21 and the second pipe body 22 are communicated, allowing the hot air to be blown out from the air outlet pipe 2, and the hot air blown out from the air outlet pipe 2 dries the shoes 6.

[0059] According to the above working principle of the third embodiment, the sealing plate 9 can be linked with the wind-blocking member 3 through the vertical rod 10, the sliding pin 101, the driving rod 20 and the rotating shaft 4, so that the sealing plate 9 and the wind-blocking member 3 can open the air outlet pipe 2 together or block the air outlet pipe 2 together, with a simple structure and convenient use.
