Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a shoe cabinet, and in particular to a method for using a shared shoe cabinet. Background Art

[0002] The description in this section merely provides background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art.

[0003] Shoe cabinets generally used in public places or for multiple people often face substandard hygiene issues. The inside of the shoes is dark and damp, breeding a large number of bacteria, emitting a foul odor to the environment, affecting the user experience of the shared shoe cabinet. In response to this, some existing shoe cabinets have proposed drying and deodorization solutions, such as adding UV sterilizers, deodorizers, hot air dryers, etc. However, they face two problems: 1. The design is unreasonable. The air duct design inside the drying box for placing the shoes is poor, making it difficult for the moisture of the shoes to dissipate in time. There is also an unreasonable order in the use of the deodorizer and hot air dryer, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of the deodorizer and hot air dryer. 2. Costs are difficult to control. In order to meet the functional requirements, existing shared shoe cabinets use a large number of irregular cavity structure designs, resulting in excessively high costs and low cost performance.

[0004] It should be noted that the above technical background is merely provided to provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the present invention and to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. Simply because these solutions are described in the technical background section of the present invention, it should not be assumed that the above technical solutions are well known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for using a shared shoe cabinet, which can quickly accumulate moisture on the shoe body through the bottom of the drying box with a certain slope to facilitate drying, and optimize the order of drying and deodorization to improve the deodorization efficiency.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention discloses the following method for using a shared shoe cabinet for drying shoes, the method comprising:

[0007] A drying box is provided, wherein one side of the drying box has a drying mechanism connected to the drying box;

[0008] Opening a drying box and placing the shoe body on the bottom of the drying box, and then closing the drying box; wherein the bottom of the drying box has a certain slope, so that the toe of the shoe body is raised, and the opening of the shoe body is located at a lower height relative to the toe of the shoe body;

[0009] The moisture in the shoe body is accumulated to the opening at the height of the shoe body by its own weight, and the deodorizing device of the drying mechanism is started to operate, so that the drying box is filled with and circulated with deodorizing gas;

[0010] The deodorizing device is turned off, and the heating and drying device of the drying mechanism is started, so that the drying box is filled with and circulated with hot air, so that the shoe body is dried by the hot air, and the hot air is discharged from the air outlet of the drying box after passing through the shoe body;

[0011] When the shoe body is completely dried, the drying mechanism is turned off, and the drying box is opened to take out the shoe body.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution, the drying mechanism also includes a telescopic air vent. Before the step of "allowing the moisture in the shoe body to gather to the opening at the height of the shoe body by its own weight, and at the same time starting the deodorization device of the drying mechanism to operate", the telescopic air vent is stretched into the opening of the shoe body. The telescopic air vent is connected to the deodorization device and the heating and drying device of the drying mechanism. The telescopic air vent is used to inject deodorizing gas or hot air into the shoe body from the shoe opening.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution, the telescopic air outlet is arranged on the top surface of the drying box and is arranged at a position for placing the shoe opening at a downslope of the bottom surface of the drying box.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution, the telescopic air vent is configured as a plurality of multi-stepped rings that are nested with each other, and magnets for positioning are provided between the plurality of rings so that the telescopic air vent can adapt to shoe openings of different heights.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution, the deodorizing device is configured as an ozone generator. In the step of "starting the operation of the deodorizing device of the drying mechanism so that the drying box is filled with and circulated with deodorizing gas", the drying box is filled with and circulated with gas containing a preset proportion of ozone, and the ozone-containing gas flows through the shoe body to sterilize the shoe body.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution, the drying box has an inclined trapezoidal inner cavity, the air outlet is arranged on the side wall of the drying box, and the air outlet is arranged near the bottom surface of the drying box on the slope for placing the shoe toe.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution, in the step of "turning off the deodorizing device and starting the heating and drying device of the drying mechanism so that the drying box is filled with and circulates hot air, so that the shoe body is dried by the hot air, and the hot air is discharged from the air outlet of the drying box after passing through the shoe body", the hot air generated by the heating and drying device passes through the shoe body from the shoe opening at a lower position and flows out from the air outlet at a higher position at the other end, so that an oblique air duct is formed in the drying box that passes through the shoe body from low to high.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution, the number of combinations of the drying boxes and the drying mechanisms is set to be multiple, and each of the drying mechanisms is positioned between the upper and lower drying boxes.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution, the fan of the heating and drying device is configured as a centrifugal fan.

[0020] The present invention also provides a shared shoe cabinet, which is used according to the above-mentioned shared shoe cabinet usage method. The shared shoe cabinet is composed of a combination of multiple drying boxes and drying mechanisms stacked in a vertical direction, wherein each shoe cabinet is used to place a pair of shoes.

[0021] By means of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0022] The shared shoe cabinet usage method of the present invention can be used to place shoes at a certain elevation angle by using the bottom surface of the drying box with a certain slope. The shoes can be quickly accumulated by their own weight, which helps to dry them. The solution is low-cost and is combined with deodorization during the process. By first deodorizing and then drying, the effect of temperature increase on the deodorization function is avoided, which indirectly improves the efficiency of drying and deodorization and significantly enhances the user experience. Especially when providing multiple users, multiple drying boxes need to be stacked. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the deadweight, otherwise it will increase costs significantly. The structure of the present invention is lightweight and is a multi-stage stacked plate, which can effectively cope with this situation.

[0032] It should be understood that although terms such as "first," "second," and "third" may be used herein to describe various components or signals, these components or signals should not be limited by these terms. These terms are primarily used to distinguish one component from another, or one signal from another.

[0033] See Figure 1 , is a method for using a shared shoe cabinet according to this embodiment, wherein the method for using a shared shoe cabinet includes:

[0034] A drying box 1 is provided, and a drying mechanism 2 connected to the drying box is provided on one side of the drying box;

[0035] The drying box 1 is opened and the shoe body is placed on the bottom surface 11 of the drying box 1, and then the drying box 1 is closed. The bottom surface 11 of the drying box 1 has a certain slope, so that the toe of the shoe body is raised, and the opening of the shoe body is located at a lower height relative to the toe of the shoe body.

[0036] The moisture in the shoe body is gathered to the opening at the height of the shoe body by its own weight, and the deodorizing device of the drying mechanism 2 is started to operate, so that the drying box 1 is filled with and circulated with deodorizing gas;

[0037] The deodorizing device is turned off, and the heating and drying device of the drying mechanism 2 is started, so that the drying box 1 is filled with and circulated with hot air, so that the shoe body is dried by the hot air, and the hot air is discharged from the air outlet 12 of the drying box 1 after passing through the shoe body;

[0038] When the shoe body is completely dried, the drying mechanism 2 is closed, and the drying box 1 is opened to take out the shoe body.

[0039] Specifically, in the above method, the drying box 1 is located at a downhill position with a relatively low slope height of the bottom surface 11, and an openable door is provided. After the operator opens the door, the shoe body is placed into the inner cavity of the drying box 1, so that the sole is placed vertically and flatly on the bottom surface 11. Since the bottom surface 11 has a certain slope, the heel position (shoe opening) of the shoe body can be placed at a lower position, so that the moisture in the shoe body can be gathered to the shoe opening by gravity. Since the shoe opening is the only open position of the shoe body, the moisture gathered here is easier to be volatilized and dried. Furthermore, in the specific operation of the drying mechanism 2, the deodorizing device can be started after the shoe body is placed. Since the shoe body is placed at an angle, the process of moisture accumulation and the process of deodorizing device operation do not affect each other. After the moisture accumulates to a certain extent, the drying effect is maximized, and the deodorizing device can be turned off and the heating and drying device can be turned on to dry the shoe body, with a focus on drying the position of the shoe opening below the shoe body.

[0040] It is worth noting that in the above process, the deodorizing device is set to operate first and the heating and drying device is set to operate later. The purpose is to avoid the deodorizing device from operating first, which may cause the temperature inside the chamber to be too high and affect the efficiency of the deodorizing device. In particular, in this embodiment, the deodorizing device is set to be an ozone generator. In the step of "starting the deodorizing device of the drying mechanism 2 to fill and circulate the deodorizing gas in the drying box 1", the drying box 1 is filled with and circulated with a gas containing a preset proportion of ozone. The ozone-containing gas flows through the shoe body to sterilize the shoe body. Among them, ozone gas is sensitive to temperature, and the performance of the ozone generator is stable. Therefore, in order to be compatible with the ozone generator, this embodiment limits the order of use.

[0041] Therefore, the present invention maximizes the heating and drying efficiency and stabilizes the deodorizing effect on the basis of ensuring cost control of the drying box 1 and the drying mechanism 2 used.

[0042] Furthermore, the drying mechanism 2 includes a retractable vent 21. Prior to the step of "allowing moisture in the shoe to accumulate by its own weight at an opening at the height of the shoe, and simultaneously activating the deodorizing device of the drying mechanism 2," the retractable vent 21 is extended into the shoe opening. The retractable vent 21 is connected to the deodorizing and heating drying devices of the drying mechanism and is used to inject deodorizing gas or hot air into the shoe through the shoe opening. Specifically, the retractable vent 21 in this embodiment is located on the top surface of the drying chamber 1, downslope from the bottom surface 11 of the drying chamber 1, where the shoe opening is positioned. The retractable vent 21 is configured as a multi-step, nested ring arrangement, with magnets positioned between the rings for positioning, allowing the retractable vent to adapt to shoe openings of varying heights. During use, after placing the shoe, the operator extends the retractable vent 21 until it reaches a predetermined height that matches the shoe opening. The retractable vent 21 is then secured by internal magnets to prevent shaking during airflow. The telescopic air vent 21 in this embodiment directly guides the wind into the interior of the shoe body, so that a maximum amount of wind can pass through the entire shoe body, resulting in better effect.

[0043] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the drying box 1 in this embodiment has an inclined trapezoidal interior, with an air outlet 12 disposed on the sidewall of the drying box 1. The air outlet 12 is positioned adjacent to the upslope of the bottom surface 11 of the drying box 1, where the shoe toes are placed. In other words, the inclined trapezoidal interior of this embodiment is optimized to match the shape of the shoe, taking into account material costs and the slope of the bottom surface 11. This creates a through-flowing air duct within the drying box 1. The hot air generated by the heating and drying device 2 passes through the shoe from the lower opening and flows out of the air outlet 12 at the higher end, forming an inclined air duct that penetrates the shoe from bottom to top within the drying box 1, thus preventing moisture accumulation.

[0044] In another embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the number of combinations of drying boxes 1 and drying mechanisms 2 is set to multiple, and each drying mechanism 1 is positioned between the upper and lower drying boxes. This embodiment is a typical application of the present invention with a relatively lightweight drying box 1 structure, suitable for use by multiple people, wherein each drying box 1 and drying mechanism 2 is oriented in the same direction.

[0045] Furthermore, the fan 22 of the heating and drying device is configured as a centrifugal fan, which is placed flat on the top surface of the drying box 1 and has relatively low noise, conforming to the shape of the present invention while meeting the drying power requirements.

[0046] The contents disclosed above are only preferred feasible embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical changes made using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention are included in the scope of the patent application of the present invention.

[0048] Although the present application has been described through embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are many modifications and variations to the present application without departing from the spirit of the present application. It is intended that the appended embodiments include these modifications and variations without departing from the present application.
